Hadith 34752
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that when Abdullah ibn
Umar gave something in the way of Allah, he would say to its owner,
"When you reach Wadi'l-Qura, (on the outskirts of Madina) then it is
your affair."
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 13

Yahya related to me from Malik from a man of Kufa that Umar ibn
al-Khattab wrote to a lieutenant of an army which he had sent out, "I
have heard that it is the habit of some of your men to chase an
unbeliever till he takes refuge in a high place. Then one man tells
him in Persian not to be afraid, and when he comes up to him, he kills
him. By He in whose hand my self is, if I knew someone who had done
that, I would strike off his head."
Yahya said, I heard Malik
say, "This tradition is not unanimously agreed upon, so one does not
act on it."
Malik when asked whether safe conduct promised by
gesture had the same status as that promised by speech, said, "Yes. I
think that one can request an army not to kill someone by gesturing
for safe conduct, because as far as I am concerned, gesture has the
same status as speech. I have heard that Abdullah ibn Abbas said,
'There is no people who betray a pledge, but that Allah gives their
enemies power over them.' " Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 12

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab used to say, "When a man is given something to use in a
military expedition, and he brings it to the battlefield, it is his."
Malik was asked about a man who pledged himself to go on a
military campaign, equipped himself,and when he wanted to go out, one
or both of his parents prevented him. He said, "He should not
contradict them. Let him put it off for another year. As for the
equipment, I think that he should store it until he needs it. If he
fears that it will spoil, let him sell it and keep its price so that
he can readily buy what is needed fora military expedition. If he is
well-to-do, he will find the like of his equipment when he goes out,
so let him do what he likes with his equipment." Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 14
