Malik related to me from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Sasaca from his father that Abu Said al-Khudri said that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It will soon
happen that the best property of a muslim will be sheep which he takes
to the peaks of the mountains and the valleys, fleeing with his deen
from trials."
Malik related to me from Nafi from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No one should
milk someone else's cow without his permission. Would any of you like
someone to come to his apartment, break into his larder, and take his
food? The udders of cows guard their food for their owners, so no one
should milk someone else's cow without his permission."

one of the Banu Haritha, that he asked permission from the Messenger

cupping, and he forbade him to do it. He continued to ask and seek his
permission until he said, "Feed the ones who drive your water-carrying
camels," meaning "your slaves."
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar that Abdullah ibn
Umar said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and

the rebellious jinn and the disease which the doctors are unable to

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سَائِبَةَ، مَوْلاَةٍ لِعَائِشَةَ . أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْجِنَّانِ الَّتِي فِي الْبُيُوتِ إِلاَّ ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَخْطِفَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيَطْرَحَانِ مَا فِي بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ .
Malik related to me from Nafi from Sa'iba, the female mawla of
A'isha, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, forbade killing the snakes which were in the houses except
those with two white stripes on their back and the short ones. They
made one go blind and caused miscarriages in women.
Malik related to me from Safiyy, the mawla of Ibn Aflah that
Abu's-Saib, the mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra said, "I went to Abu Said
al-Khudri and found him praying. I sat to wait for him until he
finished the prayer. I heard a movement under a bed in his room, and
it was a snake. I stood up to kill it, and Abu Said gestured to me to
sit. When he was finished he pointed to a room in the house and said,
'Do you see this room?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'There was a young boy
in it who had just got married. He went out with the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to al-Khandaq, (the
ditch which the muslims dug in the 5th year of the Hijra to defend
Madina against the Quraysh and their allies).
When he was
there, the youth came and asked his permission, saying, "Messenger of
Allah. Give me permission to return to my family." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him permission
and said, "Take your weapons with you, for I fear the Banu Quraydha
tribe. They may harm you." The youth went to his family and found his
wife standing between the two doors. He lifted his spear to stab her
as jealousy had been aroused in him. She said, "Don't be hasty until
you go in and see what is in your house." He entered and found a snake
coiled up on his bed. He transfixed it with his spear and then went
out with it and pitched it into the house. The snake stirred on the
end of the spear and the youth fell dead. No one knew which of them
died first, the snake or the youth. That was mentioned to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he
said, "There are jinn in Madina who have become muslim. When you see
one of them, call out to it for three days. If it appears after that,
then kill it, for it is a shaytan." "'
Malik related to me that he heard that when the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, set foot in the
stirrup intending to travel, he would say, "In the name of Allah. O
Allah! You are my companion in the journey and the Khalifa of my
family. O Allah! Spread out the earth for us and make the journey easy
for us. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the hardship of the
journey and from returning to sorrow and a distressing sight regarding
property and family."
Malik related to me from a reliable
source of his from Yaqub ibn Abdullah al-Ashajj from Bushr ibn Said
from Sad ibn Abi Waqqas from Khawla bint Hakim that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever
dismounts to rest in a place should say, 'I seek refuge with the
complete words of Allah from the evil of what he created,' (audhu bi
kalimati-llahi at-tammati min sharri ma khalaqa), and nothing will
harm him until he remounts."

who is her mahram."

al-Malik from Khalid ibn Madan who attributed it to the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted
is kind and loves kindness. He is pleased with it and helps you with
it as long as it is not misplaced. When you ride dumb beasts, stop
them in their stopping places, and quicken their pace when the land is
barren. Travel by night, because the land is travelled faster at night
than it is during the day. Beware of pitching tents on the road, for
it is the path of animals and the abode of snakes."
Malik related to me from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr from Abu
Salih from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Travelling is a portion of the
torment. It denies you your sleep, food, and drink. When you have
accomplished your purpose, you should hurry back to your family."

slave has his food and clothing in the normal manner, and he is only
obliged to do such work as he is capable of doing."

to the villages every Saturday. If he found a slave doing work which
he was not capable of doing, he lightened it for him.
Malik related to me from his paternal uncle, Abu Suhayl ibn

oblige the slave-girl to earn money unless she has a skill. When you
oblige her to do that, she will earn money by prostitution. Do not

with you not to associate anything with Allah, not to steal, not to
commit adultery, not to kill our children, nor to produce any lie that
we have devised between our hands and feet, and not to disobey you in
what is known.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'In what you can do and are able.' "
Umayma
continued, "They said, 'Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to
us than ourselves. Come, let us give our hands to you, Messenger of
Allah!' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him

women is like my word to one woman.' "

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَا خَيْبَةَ الدَّهْرِ . فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الدَّهْرُ " .

Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Let none of you complain about time, for Allah is time.'

encountered a pig on the road. He said to it, "Go in peace." Somebody
asked, "Do you say this to a pig?" Isa said, "I fear lest I accustom
my tongue to evil speech."
Malik related to me from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Alqama from his
father from Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A man speaks what is
pleasing to Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result
that it does, and Allah will write for him His good pleasure for it
until the day when he meets Him. And a man speaks what excites the
wrath of Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result
that it does, and Allah will write His wrath for him for it until the
day when he meets Him."
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar that Abu Salih as-
Samman informed him that Abu Hurayra said, "Truly a man utters words
to which he attaches no importance, and by them he falls into the fire
of Jahannam, and truly a man utters words to which he attaches no
importance, and by them Allah raises him into the Garden."
Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "Two men from the east stood up and spoke, and people were
amazed at their eloquence. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'Some eloquence is sorcery,' or he said,
'Part of eloquence is sorcery.' "
Malik related to me that he heard that Isa ibn Maryam used to
say, "Do not speak much without the mention of Allah for you will
harden your hearts. A hard heart is far from Allah, but you do not
know. Do not look at the wrong actions of people as if you were lords.
Look at your wrong actions as if you were slaves. Some people are
afflicted by wrong action and some people are protected from it. Be
merciful to the people of affliction and praise Allah for His
protection."

Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Whomever Allah protects from the evil of two things will enter the
Garden." A man said, "Messenger of Allah, do not tell us!" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
silent. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, repeated what he had said the first time. The man said to him,
"Do not tell us, Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was silent. Then the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the same thing
again. The man said, "Do not tell us, Messenger of Allah!" Then the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the
same thing again. Then the man began to say what he had said
previously and a man at his side silenced him. The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whomever Allah
protects from the evil of two things will enter the Garden. They are
what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, what is between
his jaws and what is between his legs, what is between his jaws and
what is between his legs."
Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father that Umar

Umar and I were at the house of Khalid ibn Uqba who was away at the

that we were four and said to me and the man whom he had called, 'Go a
little way off together, because I heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "Two do not converse
secretly to the exclusion of another.' "'

Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Can I
lie to my wife, Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "There is no good in lying." The
man said, "Messenger of Allah! Shall I make her a promise and tell
her?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "It will not be held against you."
Malik related to me that he heard that Abdullah ibn Masud used to
say, "You must tell the truth. Truthfulness leads to right action.
Right action leads to the Garden. Beware of lying. Lying leads to
corruption, and corruption leads to the Fire. Don't you see that it is
said, 'He speaks the truth and acts rightly,' and, 'He lies and is
corrupt.' "
Malik related to me that he heard that someone said to Luqman,
"What has brought you to what we see?" meaning his high rank. Luqman
said, "Truthful speech, fulfilling the trust, and leaving what does
not concern me."
Malik related to me that he heard that Abdullah ibn Masud used to
say, "The slave continues to lie and a black spot grows in his heart
until all his heart becomes black. Then he is written, in Allah's
sight, among the liars."

of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked, 'Can the
mumin be a coward?' He said, 'Yes.' He was asked, 'Can the mumin be a
miser?' He said, 'Yes.' He was asked, 'Can the mumin be a liar?' He
said, 'No.' "
Malik related to me from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his father
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and

and He is angry with three things from you. He is pleased that you
worship Him and do not associate anything with Him, and that you take
hold of the rope of Allah altogether, and that you give good counsel
to the one to whom Allah gives command over you. He is angry with you
for gossip, squandering property, and asking too many questions."

Malik related to me that he had heard that Umm Salama, the wife
of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Messenger of Allah! Shall we be destroyed while there are people who
are salih among us?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Yes, if there is much wickedness."
Malik related to me that Ismail ibn Abi Hakim heard Umar ibn Abd
al-Aziz say, "Some say that Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, will not
punish the many for the wrong action of the few. However, when the
objectionable action is committed openly, then they all deserve to be
punished."
Malik related to me from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that
Anas ibn Malik said, "I heard Umar ibn al-Khattab, when I was going
out with him to visit an orchard, say to himself, and there was a wall
between him and me and he was inside the garden, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab,
amir al-muminin! Well done! Well done! By Allah, fear Allah or he will
punish you.' "
Malik said, "I heard that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad used to say, 'I
have seen the people, (i.e. the companions), and they were not
impressed by speech.' " Malik said, "He meant that only action and
deeds would be looked at, not words."
Malik related to me that Amir ibn Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr would
stop speaking when he heard thunder and say, "Glory be to Allah whom
the thunder glorifies with His praise and the angels from the fear of
Him." (Subhana-aladhee yusabihu ar-radu bi hamdihi wa mala'ikatu min
khiyfatihi.) Then he would say, "This is a severe warning to the
people of the earth."

Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu
Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "My inheritance is not divided up by the dinar. What I
leave apart from the maintenance of my wives and provision for my
servant is sadaqa."
Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu
Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "The fire of the children of Adam which they kindle is a
seventieth part of the fire of Jahannam." They said, "Messenger of
Allah, this fire is certainly enough." He said, "That fire is sixty-
nine times greater."
Malik related to me from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl ibn Malik
from his father that Abu Hurayra said, "Do you think that it is red
like this fire of yours? It is blacker than tar."
Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Abu'l-Hubab Said ibn
Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Whoever gives sadaqa from good earning - and Allah only
accepts the good - it is as if he placed it in the palm of the
Merciful to raise it, as one of you raises his foal or young camel
until it is like the mountain "
Malik related to me that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha heard
Anas ibn Malik say, "Abu Talha had the greatest amount of property in
palm-trees among the Ansar in Madina. The dearest of his properties to
him was Bayruha which was in front of the mosque. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to go into it and
drink from the pleasant water which was in it."
Anas
continued, "When this ayat was sent down 'You will not obtain
rightness of action until you expend of what you love,' (Sura 2 ayat
l76), Abu Talha went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah! Allah, the
Blessed, the Exalted, has said, "You will not obtain until you expend
of what you love." The property which I love the best is Bayruha. It
is sadaqa for Allah. I hope for its good and for it to be stored up
with Allah. Place it wherever you wish, Messengerof Allah. ' "
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Well done! That is property which profits! That is property
which profits. I have heard what you have said about it and I think
that you should give it to your relatives.' Abu Talha said, 'I will do
it, Messenger of Allah!' Abu Talha therefore divided it among his
relatives and the children of his paternal uncle."

Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from Amr ibn Muadh al-
Ashali al-Ansari that his grandmother said, "The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'O trusting women! Let
none of you despise giving to her neighbour even if it is only a
roasted sheep's trotter.'
Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that a beggar asked
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, for something while she was fasting and there was only a loaf
of bread in her house. She said to her female mawla, "Give it to him."
The mawla protested, "You will not have anything to break your fast
with." A'isha repeated, "Give it to him," so she did so. When evening
came, the people of a house or a man who did not usually give to them,
gave them a sheep and some food to go with it. A'isha, umm al-muminin,
called her mawla and said, "Eat from this. This is better than your
loaf of bread."
Yahya related to me that Malik said, "I heard that a beggar asked
for food from A'isha, umm al-muminin, while she had some grapes. She
told some one to take him one grape. He began to look in amazement.
A'isha said, 'Are you amazed? How many atoms' weights do you see in
this grape?' " (referring to Sura 99 ayat 7).
Malik related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ata ibn Yazid
al-Laythi from Abu Said al-Khudri that some people of the Ansar asked
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
he gave to them. Then they asked him again, and he gave to them until
he used up what he had. Then he said, "What wealth I have, I will not
hoard from you. Whoever has forbearance, Allah will help him. Whoever
tries to be independent, Allah will enrich him. Whoever tries to be
patient, Allah will give him patience, and no one is given a better or
vaster gift than patience."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said from the mimbar when mentioning sadaqa and refraining from
asking, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand
is the one which expends, and the lower one is the one which asks."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, sent a gift to Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Umar returned it. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Why did you return it?" He said, "Messenger of Allah, didn't you tell
us that it is better for us not to take anything from anyone?" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"That is by asking. Provision which Allah gives you is different from
asking." Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "By the One in whose hand my self
is, I will not ask anything from anyone, and anything that comes to me
without my asking for it, I will accept."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant

and gather firewood on your back is better for you than that you come
to a man to whom Allah has given some of His favour and ask him, so he
gives to you or refuses."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَزَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَهْلِي، بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلِي اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاسْأَلْهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا نَأْكُلُهُ . وَجَعَلُوا يَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِمْ . فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلاً يَسْأَلُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ أَجِدُ مَا أُعْطِيكَ " . فَتَوَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مُغْضَبٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَعَمْرِي إِنَّكَ لَتُعْطِي مَنْ شِئْتَ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّهُ لَيَغْضَبُ عَلَىَّ أَنْ لاَ أَجِدَ مَا أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَّةٌ أَوْ عَدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا " . قَالَ الأَسَدِيُّ فَقُلْتُ لَلَقْحَةٌ لَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَالأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا . قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ فَقُدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِشَعِيرٍ وَزَبِيبٍ فَقَسَمَ لَنَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى أَغْنَانَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar that a man of the Banu Asad said, "My family and I dismounted to
rest at Baqi. My family said to me, 'Go to the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and ask him for something that we
can eat,' and they began to mention their need. I went to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and found
that a man was asking for something, and the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was saying, 'I do not have
anything to give you.' The man turned away from him in anger, saying,
'By my life! You give to whomever you wish.' The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'He is angry with me
because I do not have anything to give him. Whoever asks of you while
he has an uqiya or its like, has asked with importunity.' "
The man continued, "I said to myself about a camel that we had, 'It is
better than an uqiya.' (Malik explained that an uqiya was forty
dirhams.) So I returned and did not ask him for anything, and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent me
barley and raisins after that. He gave us from his share until Allah,
the Mighty, the Majestic gave us relief."
Yahya related that Malik heard al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman say,
"Sadaqa does not decrease property, and Allah only increases a slave
in worth for his restraint, and no slave is humble but that Allah
raises him."
Malik said, "I do not know whether this hadith
goes back to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, or
not."

Hadith 518370
Chapter 58: Sadaqa - كتاب الصدقة
حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لاَ تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَوْسَاخُ النَّاسِ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Sadaqa to
the family of Muhammad is not halal. It is only people's impurities."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from
his father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, gave a man from the Banu Abd al-Ashal charge over some
sadaqa. When he came to ask him for some camels from the sadaqa, the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was so
angry that the anger showed in his face. One way in which anger could
be recognised in his face was that his eyes became red. Then he said,
"This man has asked me for what is not good for me or him. If I refuse
it, I hate to refuse. If I give it to him, I will give him what is not
good for me or him." The man said, "Messenger of Allah! I will never
ask you for any of it!"
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that his
father said, "Abdullah ibn al-Arqam said, 'Show me a riding-camel
which the amir al-muminim can give me to use.' I said, 'Yes. One of
the sadaqa camels.' Abdullah ibn al-Arqam said, 'Would you want a
stout man on a hot day to wash for you what is under his lower garment
and its folds, and then give it to you to drink?' I was angry and
said, 'May Allah forgive you! Why do you say such things to me?'
Abdullah ibn al-Arqam said, 'Sadaqa is the impurities of people which
they wash off themselves.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Luqman al-Hakim
made his will and counselled his son, saying, "My son! Sit with the
learned men and keep close to them. Allah gives life to the hearts
with the light of wisdom as Allah gives life to the dead earth with
the abundant rain of the sky."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his
father that Umar ibn al-Khattab gave a mawla of his called Hunayy
charge over the hima. He said, "Hunayy! Do not harm the people. Fear
the supplication of the wronged, for the supplication of the wronged
is answered. Let the one with a small herd of camels and the one with
a small herd of sheep enter, but be wary of the livestock of Ibn Awf
and the livestock of Ibn Affan. If their livestock are destroyed, they
will return to palm-trees and agriculture. If the livestock of the one
with a small herd of camels and the one with a small herd of sheep are
destroyed, he will bring his children to me crying, 'Amir al-muminin!
Amir al-Muminin!' Shall I neglect them? Water and pasturage are of
less value to me than gold and silver. By Allah, they think that I
have wronged them. This is their land and their water. They fought for
it in the jahiliyya and became muslims on it in Islam. By He in whose
hand my self is! Were it not for the mounts which I give to be ridden
in the way of Allah, I would not have turned a span of their land into
hima."
Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn
Mutim that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"I have five names. I am Muhammad. I am Ahmad. I am al-Mahi (the
effacer), by whom Allah effaces kufr. I am al-Hashir (the gatherer),
before whom people are gathered. I am al-Aqib (the last)."
Yahya ibn Yahya related to me from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha al-Ansari from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "O Allah! Bless them in
their measure, and bless them in their sa and mudd." He meant the
people of Madina.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father that Abu Hurayra said, "When people saw the first fruits of the
season, they brought them to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, took them and said, 'O Allah! Bless us in our
fruits. Bless us in our city. Bless us in our sa and bless us in our
mudd. O Allah! Ibrahim is Your slave, Your Khalil and Your Prophet. I
am Your slave and Your Prophet. He prayed to You for Makka. I pray to
You for Madina for the like of what He prayed to You for Makka, and
the like of it with it.' Then he called the smallest child he saw and
gave him the fruits."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Qatan ibn Wahb ibn Umayr ibn
al-Ajda that Yuhannas, the mawla of az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam informed
him that he was sitting with Abdullah ibn Umar during the troubles (at
the time of al-Hajaj ibn Yusuf) . A female mawla of his came and
greeted him. She said, "I want to leave, Abu Abd ar-Rahman. The time
is harsh for us." Abdullah ibn Umar said to her, "Sit down, O you with
little knowledge, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No one will be patient in hunger
and hardship in it (Madina) except that I will be a witness or
intercede for him on the Day of Rising.' "

Chapter 45: Madina - كتاب الْمَدِينَةِ
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ فَأَصَابَ الأَعْرَابِيَّ وَعْكٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي . فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي . فَأَبَى ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي . فَأَبَى فَخَرَجَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" إِنَّمَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا وَيَنْصَعُ طِيبُهَا " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir from
Jabir ibn Abdullah that a Bedouin took an oath of allegiance in Islam
with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
A fever befell the Bedouin at Madina. He came to the Messenger of
Allah, and said, "Messenger of Allah, release me from my pledge." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, refused.
Then he came to him again and said, "Release me from my pledge." The
Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace, refused.
Then he came again and said, "Release me from my pledge." He refused.
Then he came again and said, "Release me from my pledge." He refused.
The Bedouin left and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Madina is like the blacksmith's furnace. It
removes the impurities and purifies the good."
Malik related to me that Yahya ibn Said said, "I heard
Abu'l-Hubab Said ibn Yasar say that he heard Abu Hurayra say that he
heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
say, 'I was ordered to a town which will eat up towns. They used to
say, 'Yathrib,' but it is Madina. It removes the bad people like the
blacksmith's furnace removes impurities from the iron.' "

Chapter 45: Madina - كتاب الْمَدِينَةِ
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لاَ يَخْرُجُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلاَّ أَبْدَلَهَا اللَّهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ " .
Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No
one leaves Madina preferring to live elsewhere, but that Allah will
give it better than him in place of him ."
Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father from
Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr that Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr said, "I heard the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say,
'Yemen will be conquered and the people will be attracted to it,
taking their families and whoever obeys them. Madina would have been
better for them, had they but known. Ash-Sham will be conquered and
people will be attracted to it, taking their families and whoever
obeys them. Madina would have been better for them, had they but
known. Iraq will be conquered and people will be attracted to it,
taking their families and whoever obeys them. Madina would have been
better for them, had they but known.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Himas from his paternal
uncle from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Madina will be left in the best way
that it is until a dog or wolf enters it and urinates on one of the
pillars of the mosque or on the mimbar." They asked, "Messenger of
Allah! Who will have the fruit at that time?" He replied, "Animals
seeking food, birds and wild beasts."
Malik related to me that he had heard that when Umar ibn Abd al-
Aziz left Madina, he turned towards it and wept. Then he said, "O
Muzahim! Do you fear that we might be among those that Madina casts
off?"
Yahya related to me from Malik from Amr, the mawla of al-Muttalib
from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, saw Uhud and said, "This is a mountain which
loves us and we love it. O Allah! Ibrahim made Makka Haram, and I will
make what is between the two tracts of black stones (in Madina) a
Haram."

Chapter 45: Madina - كتاب الْمَدِينَةِ
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ الظِّبَاءَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ تَرْتَعُ مَا ذَعَرْتُهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا حَرَامٌ " .
Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al-Musayyab
that Abu Hurayra said, "Had I seen a gazelle at Madina, I would have
left it to graze and would not have frightened it. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'What is between
the two tracts of black stones is a Haram.' "
Malik related to me from Yunus ibn Yusuf from Ata ibn Yasar that
Abu Ayyub al-Ansari found some boys who had driven a fox into a
corner, and he chased them away from it.
Malik said, "I only
know that he said, 'Is this done in the Haram of the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from a man who said, "Zayd ibn
Thabit came across me while I was at al-Aswaf (on the outskirts of
Madina). I had captured a hawk. He took it from my hands and set it
free."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha, umm al-muminin said, "When the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Madina, Abu Bakr and
Bilal came down with a fever. I visited them and said, 'Father, how
are you? Bilal, how are you?'" She continued, "When Abu Bakr's fever
worsened he would say, 'Every man is struck down among his people in
the morning - death is nearer than the strap of his sandal.'"
When it left Bilal, he raised his voice and said, 'Would that I knew
whether I will spend a night at the valley of Makka with the idhkhir
herb and jalil herb around me. Will I go one day to the waters of
Majinna? Will the mountains of Shama and Tafil appear to me?' " '
A'isha continued, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and informed him. He said, 'O Allah!
Make us love Madina as much as we love Makka or even more. Make it
sound and bless us in our sa and mudd. Remove its fever and put it in
al-Juhfa.' "
Malik said that Yahya ibn Said had related to him that A'isha
said that Amir ibn Fuhayra had said at the time of the epidemic, "I
have seen death before tasting it, the coward's destination is from
above him."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُجْمِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " عَلَى أَنْقَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَلاَئِكَةٌ لاَ يَدْخُلُهَا الطَّاعُونُ وَلاَ الدَّجَّالُ
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nuaym ibn Abdullah al-Mujmir
that Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'There are angels at the entries of Madina,
and neither plague nor the Dajjal will enter it.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Abi Hakim that he
heard Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz say, "One of the last things that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said was,
'May Allah fight the jews and the christians. They took the graves of
their Prophets as places of prostration . Two deens shall not co-exist
in the land of the Arabs.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Two deens
shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula."
Malik said that
Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab searched for information about
that until he was absolutely convinced that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said, 'Two deens shall
not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula,' and he therefore expelled the
jews from Khaybar."
Malik said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab expelled the jews from Najran
(a jewish settlement in the Yemen) and Fadak (a jewish settlement
thirty miles from Madina). When the jews of Khaybar left, they did not
take any fruit or land. The jews of Fadak took half the fruit and half
the land, because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had made a settlement with them for that. So Umar
entrusted to them the value in gold, silver, camels, ropes and saddle
bags of half the fruit and half the land, and handed the value over to
them and expelled them."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم طَلَعَ لَهُ أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ
" هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, came in view of Uhud and said, "This is a mountain which loves
us and we love it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Abd ar-
Rahman ibn al-Qasim that Aslam, the mawla of Umar ibn al-Khattab
informed him that he had visited Abdullah ibn Ayyash al-Makhzumi. He
saw that he had some nabidh with him and he was at that moment on the
way to Makka. Aslam said to him, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab loves this
drink." Abdullah ibn Ayyash therefore carried a great drinking bowl
and brought it to Umar ibn al-Khattab and placed it before him. Umar
brought it near to him and then raised his head. Umar said, "This
drink is good," so he drank some of it and then passed it to a man on
his right. When Abdullah turned to go, Umar ibn al-Khattab called him
and asked, "Are you the person who says that Makka is better than
Madina?" Abdullah said, "I said that it was the Haram of Allah, and
His place of security, and His House was in it." Umar said, "I am not
saying anything about the House of Allah or His Haram." Then Umar
repeated "Are you the person who says that Makka is better than
Madina?" He replied, "I said that it was the Haram of Allah and His
place of security, and His House was in it." Umar said, "I am not
saying anything about the House of Allah and His Haram." Then Abdullah
left.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abd al-Hamid
ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn al-Khattab from Abdullah ibn Abdullah
ibn al-Harith ibn Nawfal from Abdullah ibn Abbas that Umar ibn al-
Khattab set out for ash Sham and when he was at Sargh, near Tabuk, the
commanders of the army, Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah and his companions,
met him and told him that the plague had broken out in ash-Sham. Ibn
Abbas said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab said, 'all the first Muhajir unto
me.' He assembled them and asked them for advice, informing them that
the plague had broken out in ash Sham. They disagreed. Some said, 'You
have set out for something, and we do not think that you should leave
it.' Others said, 'You have the companions of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and the rest of the people with you,
and we do not think that you should send them towards this plague.'
Umar said, 'Leave me.'
Then he said, 'Summon the Ansar to
me.' They were summoned and he asked them for advice. They acted as
the Muhajirun had and disagreed as they had disagreed. He said, 'Leave
me.' "Then he said, 'Summon to me whoever is here of the aged men of
Quraysh from the Muhajirun of the conquest.' He summoned them and not
one of them differed. They said, 'We think that you should withdraw
the people and not send them towards the plague.' Umar called out to
the people, 'I am leaving by camel in the morning,' so they set out.
Abu Ubayda said, 'Is it flight from the decree of Allah?' Umar said,
'Better that someone other than you had said it, Abu Ubayda. Yes. We
flee from the decree of Allah to the decree of Allah. What would you
think if these camels had gone down into a valley which had two
slopes, one of them fertile, and the other barren. If you pastured in
the fertile part, wouldn't you pasture them by the decree of Allah? If
you pastured them in the barren part, wouldn't you pasture them by the
decree of Allah?'
''Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf arrived and he had
been off doing something and he said, 'I have some knowledge of this.
I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, "If you hear about it in a land, do not go forward to it.
If it comes upon a land and you are in it, then do not depart in
flight from it." ' Umar praised Allah and then set off."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and
from Salim ibn Abi'n-Nadr, the mawla of Umar ibn Ubaydullah that Amir
ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas heard his father ask Usama ibn Zayd, "Have you
heard anything from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, about the plague?" Usama said, "The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The plague is a
punishment that was sent down on a party of the Banu Israil or whoever
was before them. When you hear of it in a land, do not enter it. If it
comes upon a land and you are in it, do not depart in flight from it.'
"
Malik said that Abu'n-Nadr said, "That is, do not depart
with no other intention but flight."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abdullah ibn
Amir ibn Rabia that Umar ibn al-Khattab went out to ash-Sham. When he
came to Sargh, near Tabuk, he heard that the plague had broken out in
ash-Sham. Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf told him that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If you hear that a
land has a plague in it, do not go forward to it. If it comes upon a
land which you are in, do not depart in flight from it." Umar ibn al-
Khattab came back from Sargh.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah that Umar ibn al-Khattab turned people back at Sargh
according to the hadith of Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf.
Yahya related to me that Malik said, "I heard that Umar ibn al-
Khattab said, 'A night in Rukba (a valley near Taif,) is more
preferable to me than ten nights in ash-Sham.' "
Malik said,
"He meant to lengthen and preserve their lives because of the severity
of the plague in ash-Sham ."
