Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wore a
fine striped garment f rom Syria, and then gave it to Abu Jahm and
took a plain, rough, garment in return. Abu Jahm asked, "Messenger of
Allah! Why?" He said, "I looked at its stripes in the prayer."

Yahya related to me from Malik from AIqama ibn Abi AIqama from
his mother that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Abu Jahm ibn Hudhayfa gave the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, a fine striped
garment from Syria and he did the prayer in it. When he had finished
he said, 'Give this garment back to Abu Jahm. I lookedat its stripes
in the prayer and they almost distracted me.' "

Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that Abu Talha al-
Ansari was praying in his garden when a wild pigeon flew in and began
to fly to and fro trying to find a way out. The sight was pleasing to
him and he let his eyes follow the bird for a time and then he went
back to his prayer but could not remember how much he had prayed. He
said, "A trial has befallen me in this property of mine." So he came
to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
and mentioned the trial that had happened to him in his garden and
said, "Messenger of Allah, it is a sadaqa for Allah, so dispose of it
wherever you wish."
