Hadith 33858
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that the slave girls of
Abdullah ibn Umar used to wash his feet and bring him a mat of palm
leaves while they were menstruating.
Malik was asked whether
a man who had women and slavegirlscould have intercourse with all of
them before he did ghusl. He said, "There is no harm in a man having
intercourse with two of his slave girls before he does ghusl. It is
disapproved of, however, to go to a freewoman on another's day. There
is no harm in making love first to one slave girl and then to another
when one is junub."
Malik was asked about a man who was junub
and water was put down for him to do ghusl with.Then he forgot and put
his finger into it to find out whether it was hot or cold. Malik said,
"If no filth has soiled his fingers, I do not consider that that makes
the water impure."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman ibn al-Qasim
from his father that A'isha umm al-muminin said, "We went out on a
journey with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and, when we came to Bayda' or Dhat al-Jaysh, a necklace of
mine broke. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, stopped to look for it and the people stopped with him. There
was no water nearby and the people were not carrying any with them, so
they came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, 'Don't you see what A'isha
has done? She has made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, and the people stop when there is no water nearby and
they are not carrying any with them.' "
A'isha continued,
"Abu Bakr came and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had fallen asleep with his head on my thigh . Abu
Bakr said, 'You have made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and the people stop when there is no water nearby
and they are not carrying any with them ' "
She continued,
"Abu Bakr remonstrated with me and said whatever Allah willed him to
say, and began to poke me in the waist. The only thing that stopped me
from moving was that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had his head on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, slept until morning found him
with no water. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, sent down the ayat of
tayammum and so they did tayammum. Usayd ibn Hudayr said, 'This is not
the first baraka from you, O family of Abu Bakr.'"
A'isha
added, "We roused the camel I had been on and found the necklace under
it."
Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum for one
prayer should do tayammum when the time of the next prayer came or
whether the first tayammum was enough. He said, "No, he does tayammum
for every prayer, because he has to look for water for every prayer.
If he looks for it and does not find it then he does tayammum."
Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum could lead others
in prayer if they were in wudu. He said, "I prefer that someone else
should lead them. However, I see no harm in it if he does lead them in
prayer."
Yahya said that Malik said that a man who did
tayammum because he could not find any water, and then stood and said
the takbir and entered into the prayer, and then someone came with
some water, did not stop his prayer but completed it with tayammum and
did wudu for future prayers.
Yahya said that Malik said,
"Whoever rises for prayer and does not find water and so does what
Allah has ordered him to do of tayammum has obeyed Allah. Someone who
does find water is neither purer than him nor more perfect in prayer,
because both have been commanded and each does as Allah has commanded.
What Allah has commanded as far as wudu is concerned is for the one
who finds water, and tayammum is for the one who does not find water
before he enters into the prayer."
Malik said that a man who
was in a state of major ritual impurity could do tayammum and read his
portion of Quran and do voluntary prayers as long as he did not find
any water. This applied only to circumstances in which it was
allowable to pray with tayammum. Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 90
