Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr that Umar ibn
al-Khattab gave the judgement of a ram for a hyena, a female goat for
a gazelle, a she-goat less than one year old for a rabbit, and a four
month old kid for a jerboa.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from
his father that Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman told him that Umm Sulaym
bint Milhan asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, for advice one time when she had begun menstruating,
or had given birth to a child after she had done tawaf al-ifada on the
Day of Sacrifice. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, gave her permission to leave.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd al-Malik ibn Qurayr from
Muhammad ibn Sirin that a man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, "I
was racing a friend on horseback towards a narrow mountain trail and
we killed a gazelle accidently and we were in ihram. What is your
opinion?" Umar said to a man by his side, "Come, so that you and I may
make an assessment." They decided on a female goat for him, and the
man turned away saying, "This amir al-muminin cannot even make an
assessment in the case of a gazelle until he calls a man to decide
with him." Umar overheard the man's words and called him and asked
him, "Do you recite surat al-Ma'ida?" and he said, "No." He said,
"Then do you recognize this man who has taken the decision with me?"
and he said, "No." He said, "If you had told me that you did recite
surat al-Ma'ida, I would have dealt you a blow." Then he said, "Allah
the Blessed, the Exalted says in His Book, 'as shall be judged by two
men of justice among you, a sacrificial animal to reach the Kaba'
(Sura 5 ayat 95), and this is Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf."
