that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,

so do ghusl, and it will not harm whoever has perfume to apply some of
it, and use a tooth-stick . "

Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant

community I would have ordered them to use a tooth-stick."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Humayd ibn
Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abu Hurayra said, "Were it not that he would
be overburdening his community he (the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace,) would have ordered them to use a
tooth-stick with each wudu."

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ خَشَبَتَيْنِ يُضْرَبُ بِهِمَا لِيَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ لِلصَّلاَةِ فَأُرِيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ خَشَبَتَيْنِ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ لَنَحْوٌ مِمَّا يُرِيدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقِيلَ أَلاَ تُؤَذِّنُونَ لِلصَّلاَةِ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالأَذَانِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had
wanted to take two pieces of wood to strike them together to gather
people for the prayer, and Abdullah ibn Zayd al-Ansari, then of the
tribe of Harith ibn al-Khazraj, was shown two pieces of wood in his
sleep. He said, 'These are close to what the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, wants.' Then it was said, 'Do
you not call to the prayer?', so when he woke up he went to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
mentioned the dream to him. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, ordered the adhan."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ النِّدَاءَ فَقُولُوا مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ata ibn Yazid
al-Laythi from Abu Said al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you hear the adhan,
repeat what the muadhdhin says."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr
ibn Abd ar-Rahman, from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If people knew what was in
the adhan and the first row of the prayer and could only draw lots for
it, they would draw lots. And if they knew what was in doing dhuhr
early, they would race each other to it. And if they knew what was in
isha and subh, they would go to them even if they had to crawl."
Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Yaqub from his father and Ishaq ibn Abdullah that they informed him
that they heard Abu Hurayra say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, 'When the iqama is called for
prayer, do not come to it running, but come with calmness. Pray what
you catch and complete what you miss. You are in prayer as long as
your aim is the prayer.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman ibn Abdullah ibn
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abu Sasaca al-Ansari, and later al-Mazini, that his
father told him that Abu Said al-Khudri had said to him, "I see that
you love sheep and the desert. When you are among your sheep or in
your desert, call the prayer and raise your voice in the adhan,
because I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, say, 'No jinn or man or anything within range hears the
voice of the muadhdhin except that it bears witness for him on the day
of rising.' "
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
him peace, said, "When the call to prayer is made Shaytan retreats,
passing wind, so that he will not hear the adhan. When the adhan is
completed he comes back, until, when the iqama is said, he retreats
again. When the iqama is completed, he comes back, until he comes
between a man and his self and says, 'Think of such and such, think of
such and such,' which he was not thinking about before, until the man
does not know how much he has prayed."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar that Sahl
ibn Sad as-Saidi said, "There are two times when the gates of heaven
are opened, and few who make supplication have it returned to them
unanswered. They are at the timeof the adhan, and in a rank of people
fighting in the way of Allah."
Malik was asked whether the
adhan on the day of jumua was called before the time had come for the
prayer and he said, "It is not called until after the sun has passed
the meridian."
Malik was asked about doubling the adhan and
the iqama, and at what point people had to stand when the iqama for
the prayer was called. He said, "I have heard nothing about the adhan
and iqama except what I have seen people do. As for the iqama, it is
not doubled. That is what the people of knowledge in our region
continue to do. As for people standing up when the iqama for the
prayer is called, I have not heard of any definite point at which it
is begun, and I consider it rather to be according to people's
(individual) capacity, for some people are heavy and some are light,
and they are not able to be as one man ."
Malik was asked
about a gathering of people who wished to do the prescribed prayer
calling the iqama and not the adhan, and he said, "lt is enough for
them. The adhan is only obligatory in mosques where the prayer is said
in congregation."
Malik was asked about the muadhdhin saying
"Peace be upon you" to the imam and calling him to the prayer, and he
was asked who was the first person to whom such a greeting was made.
He replied, "I have not heard that this greeting occurred in the first
community."
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether a
muadhdhin who called the people to prayer and then waited to see if
anyone would come and no one did, so he said the iqama and did the
prayer by himself and then people came after he had finished, should
repeat the prayer with them. Malik said, "He does not repeat the
prayer, and whoever comes after he has finished should do the prayer
by himself."
Yahya said that Malik was asked about a
muadhdhin who called the adhan for a group of people, did voluntary
prayers, and then the group of people wanted to do the prayer with
some one else saying the iqama. He said, "There is no harm in that.
His iqama or somebody else's are the same."
Yahya said that
Malik said, "The subh prayer is still called before dawn. As for the
other prayers, we believe that they should only be called after the
time has started."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the
muadhdhin came to Umar ibn al-Khattab to call him to the subh prayer
and found him sleeping, so he said, "Prayer is better than sleep," and
Umar ordered him to put that in the adhan for subh .
Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl
ibn Malik that his uncle's father said, "I recognise nothing nowadays
of what I saw the people (i.e. the companions of the Messenger, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace ) doing except the call to
prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
called the adhan on a cold and windy night and included the phrase,
"Do the prayer in shelter." Then he said, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to orderthe muadhdhin to
say, 'Do the prayerin shelter' when it was a cold, rainy night "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that on a journey
Abdullah ibn Umar did no more than the iqama, except for subh, when he
called both the adhan and the iqama. Abdullah ibn Umar used to say,
"The adhan is for an imam whom people join ."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said to him, "When you are on a journey you can, if you wish,
call the adhan and the iqama, or, if you wish, the iqama and not the
adhan."
Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "There is no harm
in a man calling the adhan while riding."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab used to say, "Whoever prays on waterless, desolate land -
an angel prays on his right and an angel prays on his left. When he
calls both the adhan and the iqama for the prayer, or calls out the
iqama, angels like mountains pray behind him."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from
Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Bilal calls the adhan whilst it is still night
so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls the adhan."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Bilal calls the adhan in the night, so eat and drink
until Ibn Umm Maktum calls the adhan." Ibn Umm Maktum was a blind man
who did not call the adhan until someone said to him, "The morning has
come. The morning has come."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messengerof Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, used to raise his hands to the level of
his shoulders when he began the prayer and when he raised his head
from the ruku he raised them in the same way, saying, "Allah hears
whoever praises him, our Lord and praise belongs to You." He did not
raise them in the sujud.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama
ibn Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abu Hurayra used to lead them in prayer
and would say "Allah is greater" whenever he lowered himself and
raised himself. When he had finished he would say, "By Allah, I am the
person whose prayer most resembles the prayer of the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say "Allah is greater" in the
prayer whenever he lowered himself and raised himself.
Yahya
related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to
raise his hands to the level of his shoulders when he began the prayer
and when he raised his head from the ruku he would raise them less
than that.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Nuaym Wahb ibn Kaysan
that Jabir ibn Abdullah used to teach them the takbir in the prayer.
Abu Nuaym said, "He used to tell us to say 'Allah is greater' whenever
we lowered or raised ourselves."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab used to say, "When
a man catches the raka he says, 'Allah is greater' once, and that
takbir is enough for him."
Malik added, "That is if he
intended to begin the prayer by that takbir "
Malik was asked
about a man who began with the imam but forgot the opening takbir and
the takbir of the ruku until he had done one raka. Then he remembered
that he had not said the takbir at the opening nor in the ruku,so he
said the takbir in the second raka. He said, "I prefer that he start
his prayer again, but if he forgets the opening takbir with the imam
and says the takbir in the first ruku, I consider that enough for him
if he intends by it the opening takbir."
Malik said, about
some one who prayed by himself and forgot the opening takbir, "He
begins his prayer afresh ."
Malik said, about an imam who
forgot the opening takbir until he had finished his prayer, "I think
that he should do the prayer again, and those behind him, even if they
have said the takbir."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Muhammad ibn
Jubayr ibn Mutim that his father said, "I heard the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, recite at-Tur (Sura
52) in the maghrib prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah
ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud from Abdullah ibn Abbas that Umm al-
Fadl bint al-Harith heard him reciting al Mursalat (sura 77) and she
said to him, "My son, you have reminded me by reciting this sura that
it was what I last heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, recite in the maghrib prayer."
26 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Ubayd, the mawla of
Sulayman ibn Abd alMalik, from Ubada ibn Nusayy from Qays ibn al
Harith that Abu Abdullah as-Sunabihi said, "I arrived in Madina in the
khalifate of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, and I prayed maghrib behind him. He
recited the umm al Qur'an and two suras from the shorter ones of the
mufassal in the first two rakas. Then he stood up in the third and I
drew so near to him that my clothes were almost touching his clothes.
I heard him reciting the umm al-Qur'an and this ayat, 'Our Lord, do
not make our hearts go astray after You have guided us, and give us
mercy from Your presence. Surely You are the Giver. ' " (Sura 3 ayat
8)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to recite in all four rakas as when he prayed alone - in every
raka the umm al-Qur'an and another sura from the Qur'an. Sometimes he
would recite two or three suras in one raka in the obligatory prayer.
Similarly, he recited the umm al-Qur'an and two suras in the first two
rakas of maghrib.

Abdullah ibn Hunayn from hisfatherfromAliibnAbiTalibthattheMessengerof
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade wearing the
qassi (an Egyptian garment, stripedwithsilk),wearing gold rings, and
reciting the Qur'an in ruku.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Ibrahim ibn al Harith at-Taymi from Abu Hazim at-Tammar from al
Bayadi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, came out to the people while they were praying and their voices
were raised in the recitation. He said, "When you pray you are talking
confidentially to your Lord. So look to what you confide to Him, and
do not say the Qur'an out loud so that others hear it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd at-Tawil that Anas ibn
Malik said, "I stood behind Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman and none of
them used to recite 'In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the
Compassionate' when they began the prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl
ibn Malik that his father said, "We heard the recitation of Umar ibn
al-Khattab when we were at the home of Abu Jahmin al-Balat." (Al-Balat
was a place in Madina between the mosque and the market.)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that when Abdullah ibn
Umar missed anything of the prayer in which the imam recited out loud,
he would stand up when the imam had said the taslim and recite what he
owed out loud to himself.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yazid ibn Ruman said, "I used
to pray next to Nafi ibn Jubayr ibn Mutim and he would nudge me to
prompt him while we were praying."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father heard Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia say, "We prayed subh behind
Umar ibn al-Khattab and he recited suraYusuf (Sura 12) and surat al-
Hajj (Sura 22) slowly." I (Hisham's father) said, "By Allah, then it
must have been his habit to get up at the crack of dawn." He said, "Of
course."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said and Rabia ibn
Abi Abd arRahman from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad that al Furafisa ibn
Umayral-Hanafi said, "I only learnt Sura Yusuf (Sura 12) from the
recitation of it by Uthman ibn Affan in the subh prayer because of the
great number of times he repeated it to us."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to recite the first ten suras of the mufassal in the subh prayer,
and on a journey he would recite the ummal-Qur'an and a sura in every
raka.
Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Yaqub that Abu Said, the mawla of Amir ibn Kuraz told him that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called
toUbayy ibn Kab while he was praying. When Ubayy had finished his
prayer he joined the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, and the Messenger of Allah put his hand upon his hand, and
he was intending to leave by the door of the mosque, so the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I hope that
you will not leave the mosque until you know a sura whose like Allah
has notsentdown in the Tawrah nor in the Injil nor in the Qur'an."
Ubayysaid, "I began to slow down my pace in the hope of that. Then I
said, 'Messenger of Allah, the sura you promised me!' He said, 'What
do you recite when you begin the prayer?' I recited the Fatiha (Sura 1
) until I came to the end of it, and the Messengerof Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, 'It is this sura, and it is the
"seven oft-repeated" and the Great Qur'an which I was given.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Nuaym Wahb ibn Kaysan
that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say, "Someone who prays a raka
without reciting the umm al-Qur'an in it has not done the prayer
except behind an imam."
Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Ya'qub that he heard Abu's-Sa'ib, the mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra, say
he had heard Abu Hurayra say, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Whoever prays a prayer
without reciting the umm al-Qur'an in it, his prayer is aborted, it is
aborted, it is aborted, incomplete.' So I said, 'Abu Hurayra,
sometimes I am behind the imam.'Hepulled my forearm and said, 'Recite
it to yourself, O Persian, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say that Allah the Blessed, the
Exalted, said, "I have divided the prayer into two halves between me
and my slave. One half of it is for Me and one half of it is for IVly
slave, and My slave has what he asks." ' The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Recite." The slave says,
'Praise be to AIIah, the Lord of theWorlds.' Allah the Blessed, the
Exalted, says, 'My slave has praised Me.' The slave says, 'The
Merciful, the Compassionate.' Allah says, 'My slave has spoken well of
Me.' The slave says, 'Master of the Day of the Deen.' Allah says, 'My
slave has glorified Me.' The slave says, 'You alone we worship and You
alone we askforhelp.'Allahsays,'This ayat is between Me and My slave,
and for My slave is what he asks. 'The slave says, 'Guide us in the
straight Path, the Path of those whom You have blessed, not of those
with whom You are angry, nor those who are in error. ' Allah says,
'These are for My slaves, and for my slave is what he asks . ' " ' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said and from Rabia
ibn Abi Abd ar Rahman that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad used to recite behind
the imam when the imam did not recite aloud.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Ruman that Nafi ibn
Jubayr ibn Mutim used to recite behind the imam when hedid not recite
aloud .
Malik said, "That is the most preferable to me of
what I have heard about the matter."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar,
when asked if anyone should recite behind an imam, said, "When you
pray behind an imam then the recitation of the imam is enough for you
and when you pray on your own you must recite." Nafi added, "Abdullah
ibn 'Umar used not to recite behind the imam."
Yahya said
that he heard Malik say, "The position with us is that aman recites
behind the imam when the imam does not recite aloud and he refrains
from reciting when the imam recites aloud."

myself, 'Why am I distracted from the Qur'an?' " When the people heard
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say
that, they refrained from reciting with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, when he recited aloud.

Chapter 3: Prayer - كتاب الصلاة
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَأَبِي، سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُمَا أَخْبَرَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا أَمَّنَ الإِمَامُ فَأَمِّنُوا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ وَافَقَ تَأْمِينُهُ تَأْمِينَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ " . قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ آمِينَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Sa'id ibn al-
Musayyab and Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman told him from Abu Hurayra
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "When the imam says 'Amin', say 'Amin', for the one whose 'Amin'
coincides with the 'Amin' of the angels - his previous wrong actions
are forgiven him."
Ibn Shihab said, "The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say 'Aameen'
(extending it)."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu
Bakr, from Abu Salih as Samman, from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When the imam
has said, 'not of those with whom You are angry nor of those who are
in error,' say 'Amin', for the previous wrong actions of the one whose
utterance coincides with that of the angels, are forgiven him."
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
him peace, said, "When one of you says 'Amin' and the angels in the
sky say 'Amin' so that one coincides with the other, his previous
wrong actions are forgiven him."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu
Bakr, from Abu Salih as-Samman from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When the imam
says, 'Allah hears whoever praises Him,' say 'O Allah! Our Lord,
praise be toYou, 'for the previous wrong actions done by the one whose
utterance coincides with that of the angels are forgiven."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muslim ibn Abi Maryam that
AIi ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Muawi said, "Abdullah ibn Umar saw me playing
with some small pebbles in the prayer. When I finished he forbade me,
saying, 'Do as the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, did.' I said, 'What did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, do?' He said, 'When he sat in the
prayer, he placed his right hand on his right thigh and he closed his
fist and pointed his index finger, and he placed his left hand on his
left thigh. That is what he used to do.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar that he
had seen Abdullah ibn Umar with a man praying at his side. When the
man sat in the fourth raka, heput both feet to one side and crossed
them. When Abdullah finished, he disapproved of that to him, and the
man protested, "But you do the same." Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I am
ill."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sadaqa ibn Yasar that al-
Mughira ibn Hakim saw Abdullah ibn Umar sit back from the two sajdas
of the prayer onto the top of his feet. When he had finished, al-
Mughira mentioned it to him, and Abdullah ibn Umar explained, "It is
not a sunna of the prayer. I do it because I am ill."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
that Abdullah ibn Umar told him that he used to see Abdullah ibn Umar
cross his legs in the sitting position of the prayer.He said, "So I
did the same, and I was young at the time. Abdullah ibn Umar forbade
me and said, 'The sunna of the prayer is that you keep your right foot
vertical and lay your left foot down.' I said to him, 'But you do the
same (as I did).' He said, 'My feet do not support me.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad showed them how to sit in the tashahhud, and he kept his
right foot vertical and laid his left foot down, and sat on his left
haunch not on his foot. Then he said, "Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar
saw me doing this and related to me that his father used to do the
same thing."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari that he heard Umar ibn al-
Khattab say, while he was teaching people the tashahhud from the
mimbar, "Say, Greetings belong to Allah. Pure actions belong to Allah.
Good words and prayers belong to Allah. Peace on you, Prophet, and the
mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and on the slaves
of Allah who are salihun. I testify that there is no god except Allah.
And I testify that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger."
'At-tahiyatu lillah, az-zakiyatu lillah, at-tayibatu wa's-salawatu
lillah. As-salamu alayka ayyuha'nnabiyyu wa rahmatu'llahi wa
barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala ibadi'llahi s-salihin. Ash-hadu an
la ilaha illa 'llah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to say the tashahhud saying, "In the name of Allah. Greetings
belong to Allah. Prayers belong to Allah. Pure actions belong to
Allah. Peace be on the Prophet and the mercy of Allah and His
blessings. Peace be on us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun.
I testify that there is no god except Allah. I testify that Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah."
"Bismillah, at-tahiyatu lillah,
as-salawatu lillah, az-zakiyatu lillah. As-salamu ala'n-nabiyyi wa
rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala
ibadi'llahi's-salihin. Shahidtu an la ilaha illallah. Shahidtu anna
Muhammadu'r-rasulu'llah."
He used to say this after the first
two rakas and he would make supplication with whatever seemed fit to
him when the tashahhud was completed. When he sat at the end of the
prayer, he did the tashahhud in a similar manner, except that after
the tashahhud he made supplication with whatever seemed fit to him.
When he had completed the tashahhud and intended to say the taslim, he
said, "Peace be on the Prophet and His mercy and blessings. Peace be
upon us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun."
"As-
salamu ala'n-nabiyyi wa rahmatu'llahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna
wa ala ibadi'llahi'ssalihin ."
He then said, "Peace be upon
you" to his right, and would return the greeting to the imam, and if
anyone said "Peace be upon you" from his left he would return the
greeting to him.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, used to say in the tashahhud, "Greetings,
good words, prayers, pure actions belong to Allah. I testify that
there is no god except Allah, alone without partner, and that Muhammad
is His slave and His Messenger. Peace be on you, Prophet, and the
mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be on us and on the slaves of
Allah who are salihun. Peace be upon you."
"At-tahiyatu, at-
tayibatu, as-salawatu, az-zakiyatu lillah. Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah wa anna Muhammadan abduhu wa
rasuluhu. As-salamu alayka ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-llahi wa
barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala ibadi-llahi's-salihin. As-salamu
alaykum."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said al-Ansari that
al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad told him that A'isha, the wife of
the prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say in
the tashahhud, "Greetings, good words, prayers, pure actions belong to
Allah. I testify that there is no god except Allah, alone without
partner, and I testify that Muhammad is the slave of Allah and His
Messenger. Peace be upon you, Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His
blessings. Peace be upon us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun
. Peace be upon you . "
"At-tahiyatu, at-tayibatu, as-
salawatu, az-zakiyatu lillah. Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa'llah, wahdahu
la sharika llah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu. As-
salamu alayka ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-llahi wa barakatuhu. As-
salamu alayna wa ala ibadi-llahi's-salihin. As-salamu alaykum."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he asked Ibn Shihab and Nafi,
the mawla of Ibn Umar, whether a man who joined an imam who had
already done a raka should say the tashahhud with the imam in the
second and fourth rakas, even though these were odd for him? They
said, "He should say tashahhud with him."
Malik said, "That
is the position with us."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn AIqama
from Malik ibn Abdullah as-Sadi that Abu Hurayra said, "The one who
raises his head and lowers it before the imam - his forelock is in the
hand of a shaytan."
Malik said, concerning someone who forgot
and raised his head before the imam in ruku or sujud, "The sunna of
that is to return to bowing or prostrating and not to wait for the
imam to come up. What he has done is a mistake, because the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The imam is
appointed to be followed as a leader, so do not oppose him.' Abu
Hurayra said, 'The one who raises his head and lowers it before the
imam - his forelock is in the hand of a shaytan.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima as-
Sakhtayani from Muhammad ibn Sirin from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, finished the prayer
after two rakas and Dhu'l-Yadayn said to him, "Has the prayer been
shortened or have you forgotten, Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Has
Dhu'l-Yadayn spoken the truth?" The people said, "Yes," and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stood and
prayed the other two rakas and then said, "Peace be upon you." Then he
said, "Allah is greater" and went into a sadja as long as his usual
prostrations or longer. Then he came up and said, "Allah is greater"
and went into a sajda as long as his usual prostrations or longer and
then came up.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that Abu
Sufyan, the mawla of Ibn Abi Ahmad, said that he heard Abu Hurayra
say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
prayed asr and said the taslim after two rakas. Dhu'l-Yadayn stood up
and said, 'Has the prayer been shortened, Messenger of Allah, or have
you forgotten?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, stood up and completed what remained of the prayer, and
then, remaining sitting after saying the taslim, he made two
prostrations."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Bakr ibn
Sulayman ibn Abi Hathma said, "I have heard that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed two rakas of
one of the two day-ti me prayers, dhuhr or asr, and said the taslim
after two rakas. Dhu'sh-Shamalayn said to him, 'Has the prayer been
shortened, Messenger of Allah, or have you forgotten?' The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The prayer
has not been shortened and I have not forgotten.' Dhu'shShamalayn
said, 'It was certainly one of those, Messenger of Allah.' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
approached the people and said, 'Has Dh u'sh-Shamalayn spoken the
truth?' They said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah,' and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, completed what
remained of the prayer, and then said, 'Peace be upon you.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al-
Musayyab, and from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman, the same as that.
Malik said, "Every forgetfulness which decreases from the
prayer, prostrations for it come before the greeting, and every
forgetfulness which is an addition to the prayer, prostrations for it
come after the greeting."
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, said, "If you are uncertain in the prayer and do not know
whether you have prayed three or four rakas, then pray a raka and make
two prostrations from the sitting position before the taslim. If the
raka that you prayed was the fifth, then you make it even by these two
sajdas, and if it was the fourth, then the two prostrations spite
Shaytan."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Umar ibn Muhammad ibn Zayd
from Salim ibn Abdullah that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "If you
are uncertain in the prayer, estimate what you think you have
forgotten of the prayer and repeat it, then do the two sajdas of
forgetfulness from the sitting position."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Afif ibn Amr as-Sahmi that
Ata ibn Yasar said, "I asked Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As and Kab al
Ahbar about someone who was uncertain in his prayer, and did not know
whether he had prayed three or four rakas. Both of them said, 'He
should pray another raka and then do two sajdas from the sitting
position.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar,
when questioned about forgetfulness in the prayer, said, "If you think
that you have forgotten part of the prayer, then pray it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from al-Araj that
Abdullah ibn Buhayna said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, prayed two rakas with us and then stood
without sitting and the people stood with him. When he had finished
the prayerand we had seen him say the taslim, he said 'Allah is
greater' and did two sajdas from the sitting position and then said
the taslim again."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Abd ar-
Rahman ibn Hurmuz that Abdullah ibn Buhayna said, "The Messengerof
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed dhuhr with us
and he stood straight up after two rakas without sitting. When he had
finished the prayer, he did two sajdas and then said the taslim after
that."
Malik said, concerning someone who forgot in his
prayer and stood up after he had completed four rakas and recited and
then went into ruku and then, when he raised his head from ruku,
remembered that he had already completed (his prayer), "He returns to
a sitting position and does not do any sajda. If he has already done
one sajda I do not think he should do the other. Then when his prayer
is finished he does two sajdas from the sitting position after saying
the taslim."

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ أَهْدَى أَبُو جَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَمِيصَةً شَامِيَّةً لَهَا عَلَمٌ فَشَهِدَ فِيهَا الصَّلاَةَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ
" رُدِّي هَذِهِ الْخَمِيصَةَ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ فَإِنِّي نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَكَادَ يَفْتِنُنِي " .
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 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."
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."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that a
man from the Ansar was praying in a garden of his in Quff, one of the
valleys of Madina, during the date season and the palms' branches were
weighed down with fruit on all sides. He looked at them and what he
saw of their fruits amazed him. Then he went back to his prayer and he
did not know how much he had prayed. He said, "A trial has befallen me
in this property of mine." So he went toUthman ibn Affan, who was the
khalifa at the time, and mentioned it to him and said, "It is sadaqa,
so give it away in the paths of good." Uthman ibn Affan sold it for
fifty thousand and so that property became known as the Fifty.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama
ibn Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you stand in
prayer, Shaytan comes to you and confuses you until you do not know
how much you have prayed. If you find that happening do two sajdas
from the sitting position."

" إِنِّي لأَنْسَى أَوْ أُنَسَّى لأَسُنَّ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I
forget or I am made to forget so that I may establish the sunna."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man
questioned al-Qasim ibn Muhammad saying, "My imagination works in the
prayer, and it happens to me a lot." Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad said, "Go
on with your prayer, for it will not go away from you until you go away
saying, 'I have not completed my prayer.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr
ibn Abd ar-Rahman, from Abu Salih as-Sammani from Abu Hurayra that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If
someone does ghusl for major ritual impurity on the day of jumua and
then goes in the first part of the time, it is as if he had offered up
a camel. If he goes in the second part of the time, it is as if he had
offered up a cow. If he goes in the third part of the time, it is as
if he had offered up a horned ram. If he goes in the fourth part of
the time, it is as if he had offered up a hen. If he goes in the fifth
part of the time, it is as if he had offered up an egg. And when the
imam comes out, the angels settle down listening to the dhikr
(remembrance of Allah)."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
that Abu Hurayra used to say, "Doing ghusl as prescribed for major
ritual impurity is incumbent (wajib) on the day of jumua on every male
who has reached puberty."

of jumua and Umar ibn al Khattab was already giving the khutba. Umar
said, 'What (kind of) time is this (to arrive)?' He said, Amir al-
muminin, I returned from the market and heard the call to prayer, so I
did no more than do wudu.' Umar said, 'You only did wudu as well? You

Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Ghusl on the day of jumua
is incumbent on every male who has reached puberty."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Ibn Umar that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"When you come to jumua, do ghusl."
Malik said, "It is not
enough for someone to do a ghusl on the day of jumua and intend by it
the ghusl for jumua unless he does the ghusl and then sets off. That
is because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said in the hadith related by Ibn Umar, 'When you come to
jumua, do ghusl .' "
Malik said, "If someone does ghusl on
the day of jumua and intends by it the ghusl of the day of jumua and
then sets out, whether early or late, and does something which breaks
his wudu, he only has to do wudu and his ghusl remains valid for him."

Chapter 5: Jumu'a - كتاب الجمعة
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا قُلْتَ لِصَاحِبِكَ أَنْصِتْ وَالإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَدْ لَغَوْتَ " .
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
him peace, said, "Even saying to your companion 'Listen' while the
imam is giving the khutba on the day of jumua, is to speak foolishly."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Thalaba ibn
Abi Malik al Quradhi informed him that in the time of Umar ibn al
Khattab they used to pray on the day of jumua until Umar came out, and
when Umar came out and sat on the mimbar and the muadhdhins called the
adhan, they would sit and talk, and then when the muadhdhins were
silent and Umar stood to give the khutba, they would pay attention and
no-one would speak .
Ibn Shihab said, "The imam coming out
stops prayer and his speaking stops conversation."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar
ibn Ubaydullah, from Malik ibn Abi Amir that Uthman ibn Affan used to
say in khutbas, and he would seldom omit it if he was giving the
khutba, "When the imam stands delivering the khutba on the day of
jumua, listen and pay attention, for there is the same portion for
someone who pays attention but cannot hear as for someone who pays
attention and hears. And when the iqama of the prayer is called,
straighten your rows and make your shoulders adjacent to each other,
because the straightening of the rows is part of the completion of the
prayer." Then he would not say the takbir until some men who had been
entrusted with straightening the rows came and told him that they were
straight. Then he would say the takbir.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
saw two men talking while the imam was giving the khutba on the day of
jumua and he threw pebbles at them to tell them to be quiet.
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man
sneezed on the day of jumua while the imam was giving the khutba, and
a man by his side asked Allah to bless him. Said ibn al Musayyab was
asked about it and he forbade the man to do what he had done and said,
"Don't do it again."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he asked Ibn Shihab about
talking in the jumua after the imam had come down from the mimbar but
before he had said the takbir. Ibn Shihab said, "There is no harm in
that."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab used to say, "Some
one who catches a raka of the jumua prayer should pray another one
with it." Ibn Shihab said, "That is the sunna."
Malik said,
"I saw the people of knowledge in our city doing that. That is because
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'Whoever catches a raka of the prayer has caught the prayer.' "
Malik said, concerning some one who was in a crowd on the day of
jumua and did the ruku but was not able to go into sajda until the
imam had risen or finished his prayer, "If he is able to do the sajda
and has already done the ruku then he should do the sajda when the
people stand up. If he is unable to do thesajda until after the imam
has finished the prayer, then I prefer that he begins the prayeragain
and does the four rakas of dhuhr."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about
the word of Allah, the Majestic, the Mighty, "O you who accept, when
the call is made for the prayer on the day of jumua, make haste to the
remembrance of Allah."(Sura 62 ayat 9). Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn
al-Khattab used to recite, 'When the call is made for the prayer on
the day of jumua, go to the remembrance of Allah.' "
Malik
said, "Making haste in the Book of Allah is only deed and action.
Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, says 'and when he turns away, he acts
in the land' (Sura 2 ayat 205), and He, the Exalted, said, 'and as for
the one who comes to you acting with fear' (Sura 80 ayat 8), and He
said, 'then he turned his back, and acted' (Sura 79 ayat 22),and He
said, 'Your deeds are diverse' " (Sura 92 ayat 4). Malik said, "Thus
making haste which Allah mentions in His Book is not running on the
feet or exertion. It only means deed and actions."

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
him peace, mentioned the day of jumua and said, "There is a time in it
when Allah gives to a muslim slave standing in prayer whatever he asks
for," and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, indicated with his hand how small it was.

Hadith 502400
Chapter 5: Jumu'a - كتاب الجمعة
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Abdullah ibn al-Had
from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi from Abu Salama ibn
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abu Hurayra said, "I went out to at-Tur
(Mount Sinai) and met Kab al Ahbar and sat with him. He related to me
things from the Tawrah and I related to him things from the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Among the things I
related to him was that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'The best of days on which the sun rises is
the day of jumua. In it Adam was created, and in it he fell from the
Garden. In it he was forgiven, and in it he died. In it the Hour
occurs, and every moving thing listens from morning till sunset in
apprehension of the Hour except jinn and men. In it is a time when
Allah gives toa muslim slave standing in prayer whatever he asks for.'
Kab said, 'That is one day in every year.' I said, 'No, in every
jumua.' Then Kab recited the Tawrah and said, 'The Messenger of Allah
has spoken the truth.' "
Abu Hurayra continued, "I met Basra
ibn Abi Basra al-Ghiffari and he said, 'Where have you come from?' I
said, 'From at-Tur.' He said, 'If I had seen you before you left, you
would not have gone. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, "Only make a special journey to three
mosques:
the mosque of the Haram (Makka), this mosque (Madina), and
the mosque of Ilya or the Bait al-Maqdis (two names of Jerusalem)." '
" (He was not sure which expression was used.)
Abu Hurayra
continued, "Then I met Abdullah ibn Salam and I told him that I had
sat with Kabal-Ahbar, and I mentioned what I had related to him about
the day of jumua, and told him that Kab had said, 'That is one day in
every year.' Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'Kab lied,' and I added, 'Kab
then recited the Tawrah and said, "No, it is in every jumua.'' '
Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'Kab spoke the truth. 'Then Abdullah ibn
Salam said, 'I know what time that is.' "
Abu Hurayra
continued, "I said to him, 'Let me know it - don't keep it from me.'
Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'It is the last period of time in the dayof
jumua.' "
Abu Hurayra continued, "I said, 'How can it be the
last period of time in the day of jumua, when the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "a muslim slave
standing in prayer", and that is a time when there is no prayer?'
Abdullah ibn Salam replied, 'Didn't the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, "Whoever sits waiting for the
prayer is in prayer until he prays?" "'
Abu Hurayra added, "I
said, 'Of course.' He said, 'Then it is that.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he had
heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "There is nothing wrong in wearing two garments which are
not work-clothes for jumua."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
would never go to jumua without wearing oil and perfume except when it
was forbidden (i.e. when he was muhrim).
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Abi
Bakr ibn Hazm from whoever related it to him that Abu Hurayra used to
say, "It is better for a man to pray on the surface of al Harra (a
rocky area in Madina) than for him to wait until the imam stands to
give the khutba and then come and step over people's necks."
Malik said, "The sunna with us is that the people face the imam on the
day of jumua when he intends to give the khutba, whether they are near
the qibla or elsewhere."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Damra ibn Said al-Mazini from
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that ad-Dahhak ibn Qays
asked an-Numan ibn Bashir, "What did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, use to recite on the day of jumua after
suratal-Jumua (Sura 62)?" He said, "He used to recite al-Ghashiya
(Sura 88)."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Safwan ibn Sulaym said, "If
anyone omits jumua three times without reason or illness, Allah will
set a seal on his heart." (Malik said, "I don't know if it was from
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, or
not.")

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, prayed in the mosque one night and people prayed
behind him. Then he prayed the next night and there were more people.
Then they gathered on the third or fourth night and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not come out to
them. In the morning, he said, "I saw what you were doing and the only
thing that prevented me from coming out to you was that I feared that
it would become obligatory (fard) for you." This happened in Ramadan.

" مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ " . قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَانَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama
ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to exhort people
to watch the night in prayer in Ramadan but never ordered it
definitely. He used to say, "Whoever watches the night in prayer in
Ramadan with trust and expectancy, will be forgiven all his previous
wrong actions."
Ibn Shihab said, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, died while that was still the
custom, and it continued to be the custom in the caliphate of Abu Bakr
and at the beginning of the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab."
Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari said, "I went out with Umar ibn
alKhattab in Ramadan to the mosque and the people there were spread
out in groups. Some men were praying by themselves, whilst others were
praying in small groups. Umar said, 'By Allah! It would be better in
my opinion if these people gathered behind one reciter.' So he
gathered them behind Ubayy ibn Kab. Then I went out with him another
night and the people were praying behind their Qur'an reciter. Umar
said, 'How excellent this new way is, but what you miss while you are
asleep is better than what you watch in prayer.' He meant the end of
the night, and people used to watch the beginning of the night in
prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yusuf that as-
Sa'ib ibn Yazid said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered Ubayy ibn Kab and
Tamim ad-Dari to watch the night in prayer with the people for eleven
rakas.The reciterof the Qur'an would recite the Mi'in (a group of
medium-sized suras) until we would be leaning on our staffs from
having stood so long in prayer. And we would not leave until the
approach of dawn."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yazid ibn Ruman said, "The
people used to watch the night in prayer during Ramadan for twenty-
three rakas in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that he
heard al-Araj say, "I never saw the people in Ramadan, but that they
were cursing the disbelievers." He added, "The reciter of Qur'an used
to recite surat al-Baqara in eight rakas and if he did it in twelve
rakas the people would think that he had made it easy."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said,
"I heard my father say, 'We finished praying in Ramadan and the
servants hurried with the food, fearing the approach of dawn.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail from Ibn Abi Hakim
that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and

that?" and someone said to him,"It is al-Hawla bint Tuwayt, she does
not sleep in the night." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, disapproved of that and his disapproval showed in
his face. Then he said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, does not
become weary, but you become weary. Take on whatever is within your
capability."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his
father that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to pray as much as Allah willed
in the night until at the end of the night he would wake his family
for the prayer. He used to say to them, "The prayer, the prayer." Then
he would recite the ayat, "Enjoin prayer on your family and be
constant in it. We do not ask you for your provision. We provide for
you. And the end result is for taqwa." (Sura 20 ayat 132)
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn
al-Musayyab used to say, "Sleep is disapproved of before isha and

" يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ عَيْنَىَّ تَنَامَانِ وَلاَ يَنَامُ قَلْبِي " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that he asked A'isha, the
wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, what the
prayer of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was like during Ramadan. She said, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not go above eleven rakas in
Ramadan or at any other time. He prayed four - do not ask me about
their beauty or length. Then he prayed another four - do not ask me
about their beauty and length. Then he prayed three."
A'isha
continued, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, are you sleeping before you
do the witr?' He said, A'isha, my eyes sleep but my heart does not
sleep.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Makhrama ibn Sulayman from
Kurayb, the mawla of Ibn Abbas, that Abdullah ibn Abbas told him that
he had spent a night at the house of Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who was also Ibn Abbas'
mother's sister. Ibn Abbas said, "I lay down with my head on the
breadth of the cushion, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and his wife lay down with their heads on its
length. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, slept, until, halfway through the night or a little before or
after it, he awoke and sat up and wiped the sleep away from his face
with his hand. Then he recited the last ten ayats of sura Ali Imran
(Sura3). Then he got up and went over to a water-skin which was
hanging up and did wudu from it, doing his wudu thoroughly, and then
he stood in prayer."
Ibn Abbas continued, "I stood up and did
the same and then went and stood by his side. The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, put his right hand on my head
and took my right ear and tweaked it. He prayed two rakas, then two
rakas, then two rakas, then two rakas, then two rakas, then two rakas,
and then prayed an odd raka. Then he lay down until the muadhdhin came
to him, and then prayed two quick rakas, and went out and prayed subh
."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from
his father that Abdullah ibn Qays ibn Makhrama told him that Zayd ibn
Khalid al-Juhani said one night that he was going to observe the
prayer of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace. He said, "I rested my head on his threshold. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, got up and prayed two
long, long, long rakas. Then he prayed two rakas which were slightly
less long than the two before them. Then he prayed two rakas which
were slightly less long than the two before them. Then he prayed two
rakas which were slightly less long than the two before them. Then he
prayed two rakas which were slightly less long than the two before
them. Then he prayed two rakas which were slightly less long than the
two before them. Then he prayed an odd raka, making thirteen rakas in
all."

" صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi and Abdullah ibn Umar
that a man asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, about night prayers. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Night prayers are two by two,
and when you are afraid that dawn is approaching, pray one raka to
make what you have prayed odd."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Yahya ibn Habban from Ibn Muhayriz that a man from the Kinana
tribe called al-Mukhdaji heard a man in Syria known as Abu Muhammad
saying, "The witr is obligatory (fard)." Al-Mukhdaji said, "I went to
Ubada ibn as-Samit and presented myself to him as he was going to the
mosque, and told him what Abu Muhammad had said. Ubada said that Abu
Muhammad had lied and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Allah the Majestic and
Mighty has written five prayers for mankind, and whoever does them and
does not waste anything of them by making light of what is due to
them, there is a pact for him with Allah that He will admit him into
the Garden.Whoever does not do them, there is no pact for him with
Allah. If He wishes, He punishes him, and if He wishes, He admits him
into the Garden.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Bakr ibn Umar that Said
ibn Yasar said, ''I was travelling with Abdullah ibn Umar on the road
to Makka, and fearing that it was nearly dawn. I dismounted and prayed
witr. Abdullah said, 'Is there not a model for you in the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?' I said, 'Of course,
by Allah!' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to pray witr on his camel.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab said, "Abu Bakr as-Siddiq used to pray witr when he wished
to go to bed, and Umar ibn al-Khattab used to pray witr at the end of
the night. As for me, I pray witr when I go to bed."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man asked
Abdullah ibn Umar whether the witr was obligatory and Abdullah ibn
Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, prayed witr, and the muslims prayed witr." The man began
repeating his question, and Abdullah ibn Umar kept saying, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed
witr, and the muslims prayed witr."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَتْ تَقُولُ مَنْ خَشِيَ أَنْ يَنَامَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ فَلْيُوتِرْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَمَنْ رَجَا أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيُؤَخِّرْ وِتْرَهُ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that A'isha, the
wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to
say, "If someone fears that he will sleep through till the morning,
let him pray the witr before he sleeps, and if some one hopes to wake
for the last part of the night, let him delay his witr."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi said, "I was with
Abdullah ibn Umar in Makka. The sky was clouded over and Abdullah
feared that dawn was approaching so he prayed one raka for witr. Then
the clouds cleared and he saw that it was still night, so he made his
prayers even with one raka. Then he continued to pray two rakas at a
time, until when he feared the approach of dawn, he prayed one raka
for witr."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to say the taslim between the two rakas and the one raka of witr
so that he could order something he needed.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Sad ibn Abi
Waqqas used to pray witr after isha with one raka.
Malik
said, "This is not the situation with us. Rather three is the minimum
for witr."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ صَلاَةُالمغرب وتر صلاة النهار . قال مالك من أوتر أول الليل ثم نام ثم قام فبدا له أن يصلي فليصل مثنى مثنى فهو أحب ما سمعت إلى
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar that
Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "The maghrib prayer is the witr of the
daytime prayers."
Malik said, "If someone prays witr at the
beginning of the night, and goes to sleep, and then wakes up and it
seems good to him to pray, let him pray, two rakas at a time. That is
what I like most of what I have heard."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd al Karim ibn
Abi'l-Mukhariq al-Basri from Said ibn Jubayr that Abdullah ibn Abbas
slept, and when he woke up, he said to his servant, "Go and see what
the people have done," (by that time his sight had gone.) The servant
went out and returned saying, "The people have left from subh," so
Abdullah ibn Abbas got up and prayed witr and then prayed subh.
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abdullah
ibn Abbas and Ubada ibn as-Samit and al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and
Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia had all prayed witr after the break of
dawn.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that Abdullah ibn Masud said, "I do not mind if the iqama for
the subh prayer is called while I am still praying witr."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, ''Ubada
ibn as-Samit used to lead the people in prayer. One day he came out
for subh and the muadhdhin began to give the iqama for the subh prayer
Ubada silenced him, prayed witr and then led them in subh."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
said, "I heard Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia say, 'I sometimes pray witr
while hearing the iqama, or after the break of dawn.' " Abd ar-Rahman
was not certain which he said.
Malik related to me that Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim heard his
father al-Qasim ibn Muhammad say, "I have prayed witr after dawn."
Malik said, "Only a person who oversleeps so that he does not
do the witr prays it after dawn. No one should intentionally make his
witr after dawn."

finished the adhan for the subh prayer, before the iqama was said for
the prayer.

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said that A'isha, the wife of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to
pray the two rakas of the dawn (fajr) so quickly that I would say to
myself 'Has he recited the umm al-Qur'an or not?' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Namir that Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman said, "Some people heard the
iqama and started to pray. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, came out and said, 'Are you doing two prayers at
the same time? Are you doing two prayers at the same time?' That was
about the subh prayer and the two rakas before subh."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al-
Musayyab from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Prayer in congregation is better than
the prayer of one of you on his own by twenty-five parts."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZinad from al-Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "By Him in whose hand myself is! I had in mind to
order firewood to be collected, then to order the prayer to be called,
and to appoint a man to lead the people in prayer, and then to come up
behind certain men and burn their houses down about them! By Him in
whose hand myself is! If one of them knew that he would find a meaty
bone or two good legs of meat, he would be present at isha.''

Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr
ibn Abd ar-Rahman from Abu Salih from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If a man who
is walking along a road finds a branch of thorns on the road and
removes it, Allah thanks him for doing it and forgives him."
He also said, "Martyrs are five:
the one killed by a plague, the one
killed by a disease of the belly, the one who drowns, the one killed
by a collapsing building, and the martyr in the path of Allah.'
He also said, "If people knew what there was in the call to prayer
and the first row, and they could find no other way except to draw
lots for it, they would draw lots for it. And if they knew what there
was in doing dhuhr at its time, they would race each other to it. And
if they knew what there was in the prayers of isha and maghrib, they
would come to them even if they had to crawl .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn
Sulayman ibn Abi Hathma that Umar ibn al-Khattab missed Sulayman ibn
Abi Hathma in the subh prayer. In the morning he went to the market,
and Sulayman's house was between the market and the Prophet's mosque.
He passed ash-Shifa, Sulayman's mother, and said to her, "I did not
see Sulayman at subh." She replied, "He spent the night in prayer and
his eyes overcame him. Umar said, "I would rather be present at subh
than stand the whole night in prayer.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Ibrahim that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Amra al-Ansari said that Uthman
ibn Affan came to the isha prayer and seeing only a few people in the
mosque, he lay down at the back of the mosque to wait for the number
of people to increase. Ibn Abi Amra went and sat down beside him and
Uthman asked him who he was, so he told him. Uthman said, "What have
you memorised of the Qur'an?", and he told him. Uthman said, "If
someone is present at isha, it is as if he had stood in prayer for
half a night, and if some one is present at subh, it is as if he had
stood in prayer for a whole night.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from a man of
the Bani'd-Dil called Busr ibn Mihjan from his father Mihjan that he
was in a gathering with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and the call to prayer was made. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, rose and prayed and
then returned. Mihjan remained sitting and did not pray with him. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"What prevented you from praying with the people? Aren't you a
muslim?" He said, "Of course, Messenger of Allah, but I have already
prayed with my family." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When you come, pray with the people, even
if you have prayed already."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that a man asked
Abdullah ibn Umar, "Sometimes I pray in my house, and then catch the
prayer with the imam. Should I pray with him?" Abdullah ibn Umar said

Abdullah ibn Umar said, "Is that up to you? It is up to Allah. He will
decide on whichever of them He wishes."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a man
asked Said ibn al-Musayyab, "I pray in my house, and then I come to
the mosque and find the imam praying. Should I pray with him?" Said
said, "Yes," and the man said, "Which of them is my prayer?" Said
said, "Are you the one to decide that? That is up to Allah."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Afif as-Sahmi that a man from
the tribe of Bani Asad asked Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. "Sometimes I pray in
my house, and then come to the mosque and find the imam praying.
Should I pray with him?" Abu Ayyub said, "Yes, pray with him, for some
one who does so has the reward of the group, or the equivalent of the
reward of the group."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to say, "Someone who prays maghrib or subh and then catches them
with the imam should not repeat them."
Malik said, "I do not
see any harm in someone who has already prayed in his house praying
with the imam, except for maghrib, because if he repeats it, he makes
it even."
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
him peace, said, "When you lead people in the prayer, make it short,
because there are among them some people who are weak, ill and old.
But when you pray on your own, make it as long as you wish."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi said, "I stood behind
Abdullah ibn Umar in one of the prayers when there was no one else
with him, and he reached behind with his hand and placed me beside
him."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a man
used to lead the people in prayer in al-Aqiq (a place near Madina),
and Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz sent a message to him forbidding him to do
so.
Malik said, "He only forbade him because his father was
not known."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Anas ibn
Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, fell off his horse when riding, and his right side was scraped,
so he did one of the prayers sitting, and we prayed behind him
sitting. When he left, he said, "The imam is appointed to be followed.
If he prays standing, then pray standing, and when he goes into ruku,
go into ruku, and when he rises, rise, and when he says, 'Allah hears
whoever praises him,' say, 'Our Lord, praise belongs to You,' and if
he prays sitting, then all of you pray sitting."

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 out during his illness, and approached and found Abu Bakr
standing, leading the people in prayer. Abu Bakr began to go back, but
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
indicated to him to stay where he was. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, sat by the side of Abu Bakr, and
Abu Bakr prayed following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, who was sitting, and the people
prayed following the prayer of Abu Bakr.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Muhammad ibn Said
ibn Abi Waqqas from a mawla of Amr ibn al-As or of Abdullah ibn Amr

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Yazid al-Madani
and from Abu'n Nadr from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman from A'isha, the
wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to
pray sitting. He would recite sitting, and then, when about thirty or
forty ayats of what he was reciting remained, he would stand up and
recite standing and then go into ruku and sajda. He would do the same
in the second raka.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from al-Qaqa
ibn Hakim that Abu Yunus, the mawla of A'isha, umm al-muminin said,
''A'isha ordered me to write out a Qur'an for her. She said, 'When
you reach this ayat, let me know, "Guard the prayers carefully and the
middle prayer and stand obedient to Allah." ' When I reached it I told
her, and she dictated to me, 'Guard the prayers carefully and the
middle prayer and the asr prayer and stand obedient to Allah.' A'isha
said, 'I heard it from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Amr ibn
Rafi said, "I was writing a Qur'an for Hafsa, umm al-muminin, and she
said, 'When you reach this ayat, let me know, "Guard the prayers
carefully and the middle prayer and stand obedient to Allah." When I
reached it I told her and she dictated to me, 'Guard the prayers
carefully and the middle prayer and the asr prayer and stand obedient
to Allah.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that Ibn
Yarbu al-Makhzumi said, "I heard Zayd ibn Thabit say, 'The middle
prayer is the prayer of dhuhr.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that AIi ibn Abi
Talib and Abdullah ibn Abbas used to say, "The middle prayer is the

about the matter, I prefer what Ali ibn Abi Talib and Abdullah ibn
Abbas said."

"Do you all have two garments?"

al-Aswad al-Khawlani was in the room of Maimuna, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, she used to pray in
a shift and head-covering, without a waist-wrapper.

went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, in the year of Tabuk, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, joined dhuhr with asr and maghrib with
isha. Muadh said, "One day he delayed the prayer, and then came out
and prayed dhuhr and asr together. Then he said, 'Tomorrow you will
come, insha' llah, to the spring of Tabuk. But you will not get there
until well into the morning. No one who arrives should touch any of
its water until I come.' We came to it and two men had got to it
before us and the spring was dripping with a little water. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked
them, 'Have you touched any of its water?' They said, 'Yes.' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, reviled
them and said what Allah wished him to say. Then they took water with
their hands from the spring little by little until it had been
collected in something. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, washed his face and hands in it. Then he put
it back into the spring and the spring flowed with an abundance of
water and the people drew water from it. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If you live long enough,
Muadh, you will soon see this place filled with gardens.' "

the Mighty and Majestic sent us Muhammad, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, and we know nothing. We only do as we saw him doing."

Chapter 9: Shortening the Prayer - كتاب قصر الصلاة فى السفر
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ فُرِضَتِ الصَّلاَةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ فَأُقِرَّتْ صَلاَةُ السَّفَرِ وَزِيدَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْحَضَرِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Salih ibn Kaysan from Urwa
ibn az-Zubayr that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The prayer was prescribed as two
rakas, both when settled and when travelling. Then the travelling
prayer was kept as it was, and an increase was made in the prayer when
settled. "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he said
to Salim ibn Abdullah, "What is the latest you have seen your father
delay maghrib while on a journey?" and Salim replied, "One time the
sun set when we were at Dhat al-Jaysh and he prayed maghrib at al-
Aqiq."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah that his father rode to Rim and shortened the prayer on the
journey.
Malik said, "That was about four mail-stages."
(approximately forty-eight miles).
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Salim ibn Abdullah
that Abdullah ibn Umar rode to Dhat an-Nusub and shortened the prayer
on the journey.
Malik said, "There are four mail-stages
between Dhat an-Nusub and Madina."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah that Abdullah ibn Umar used to shorten the prayer when he
travelled for a whole day.
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abdullah
ibn Abbas used to shorten the prayer when he travelled a distance
equivalent to that between Makka and Ta'if, and that between Makka and
Usfan and that between Makka and Jedda.
Malik said, "That is
four mail-stages, and to me that is the most preferable distance for
shortening the prayer."
Malik said, "Someone who intends to
travel does not shorten the prayer until he has left the houses of the
village. And he does not do it in full until he comes to the first
houses of the village, or is nearby."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn
Abdullah that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "I pray the prayerof a
traveller as long as I am undecided whether to remain somewhere or
not, even if I am detained for twelve nights."
