Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, " Horses are kept for one of three purposes; for some people they are a source of
reward, for some others they are a means of shelter and for some others they are a source of sins. The
one for whom they are a source of reward, is he who keeps a horse for Allah's Cause (i.e. Jihad) tying
it with a long tether on a meadow or in a garden with the result that whatever it eats from the area of
the meadow or the garden where it is tied will be counted as good deeds for his benefit, and if it
should break its rope and jump over one or two hillocks then all its dung and its foot marks will be
written as good deeds for him; and if it passes by a river and drinks water from it even though he had
no intention of watering it, even then he will get the reward for its drinking. As for the man for whom
horses are a source of sins, he is the one who keeps a horse for the sake of pride and pretense and
showing enmity for Muslims: such a horse will be a source of sins for him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was
asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing has been revealed to me about them except this unique,
comprehensive Verse: "Then anyone who does an atom's (or a small ant's) weight of good shall see it;
And anyone who does an atom's (or a small ant's) weight of evil, shall see it.' (101.7-8)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 76
"Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, appointed me in charge of the Sadaqah. When I finished collecting it and handed it over to him, he ordered that I be given some payment. I said to him: 'I only did for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and my reward will be with Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.' He said: 'Take what I have given you: I did the same take during the time of the Messenger of Allah, and I said what you have said, but the Messenger of Allah said to me: "If you are given something without asking for it, then keep (some) and give (some) in charity."'
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 23, Hadith 170
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard some of the
people of knowledge say that when falcons, eagles, and hawks and their
like, understood as trained dogs understood, there was no harm in
eating what they had killed in the course of hunting, if the name of
Allah had been mentioned when they were sent out.
Malik said,
"The best of what I have heard about retrieving game from the falcon's
talons or from the dog's fangs and then waiting until it dies, is that
it is not halal to eat it."
Malik said, "The same applies to
anything which could have been slaughtered by the hunter when it was
in the talons of the falcon or the fangs of the dog. If the hunter
leaves it until the falcon or dog has killed it, it is not halal to
eat it either". He continued, "The same thing applies to any game hit
by a hunter and caught while still alive, which he neglects to
slaughter before it dies."
Malik said, "It is generally
agreed among us that it is halal to eat the game that a hunting-dog
belonging to magians hunts or kills, if it is sent out by a muslim and
the animal is trained. There is no harm in it even if the muslim does
not actually slaughter it.
It is the same as a muslim using a
magian's knife to slaughter with or using his bow and arrows to shoot
and kill with. The game he shot and the animal he slaughters are
halal. There is no harm in eating them. If a magian sends out a
muslim's hunting dog for game, and it catches it, the game is not to
be eaten unless it is slaughtered by a muslim. That is like a magian
using a muslim's bow and arrow to hunt game with, or like his using a
muslim's knife to slaughter with. It is not halal to eat anything
killed like that.
Muwatta Malik Book 25, Hadith 8
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "If a misfortune befalls some one and he says, as
Allah has ordered, 'We belong to Allah and to Him we are returning. O
Allah, reward me in my misfortune and give me better than it
afterwards,' Allah will do that for him" (Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi
rajiun. Allahumma' jurniy fi musiybatiy, wa a qibhiy khayran minha,
illa faala 'llahu dhalika bihi.).
Umm Salama said, "When Abu
Salama died I said that, and then I said, 'Who is better than Abu
Salama?' " And then Allah left her the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and he married her.
Muwatta Malik Book 16, Hadith 43
"The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He stood and said the takbir, and the people formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited for a long time, then he said the takbir and bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and said: Sami Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd. Then he stood and recited for a long time, but it was a shorter recitation than the first recitation, then he said the takbir and bowed but it was shorter than the first bowing. Then he said: Sami Allahu liman hamidah, then he prostrated. In this manner, he bowed four times, and the eclipse ended before he had finished. Then he stood and addressed the people. He praised and glorified Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, as He deserves, then he said: The sun and moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), Most High. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that (eclipsed) then pray until it ends. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: While I was standing just now I saw everything you have been promised. When you saw me moving forward, I wanted to take a cluster of fruit from Paradise. And I saw Hell; parts of it were consuming other parts when you saw me step backward. And I saw therein Ibn Luhayy, who was the first one to establish the Sa'ibah.'"
