Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Ibn Umar stayed in
Makka for ten nights, shortening the prayer, except when he prayed it
behind an imam, in which case he followed the imam's prayer.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ata al-Khurasani that he
heard Said ibn al Musayyab say, "A traveller who has decided to remain
somewhere for four nights does the prayer in full."
Malik
said, "That is what I prefer most out of what I have heard."
Malik when asked about the prayer of a prisoner, said, "It is the same
as the prayer of a person who remains in one place, except if he is
travelling."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn Abdullah from his father that Umar ibn al-Khattab, when he went to Makka, used to lead them in prayer and do two rakas and then say, "People of Makka,complete the prayer, we are a group travelling."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to pray four rakas behind the imam at Mina, and when he prayed by
himself he would pray two rakas.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Safwan said,
"Abdullah ibn Umar used to come and visit Abdullah ibn Safwan and he
would pray two rakas with us, and when he went away we would stand and
complete the prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
never used to pray anything with the fard prayer, either before it or
after it, while travelling, except in the depths of the night. He
would pray on the ground or on his mount, whichever way it was facing.
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad and Urwa ibn az-Zubayr and Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar Rahman
used to pray nawafil when travelling.
Yahya said that Malik
was asked about voluntary prayers when travelling and he said, "There
is no harm in them, either at night or during the day. I have heard
that some of the people of knowledge used to do that."
Yahya related to me that Malik said, "I have heard from Nafi that
Abdullah ibn Umar used to see his son, Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah, doing
voluntary prayers on a journey,and he would not disapprove of it."

on a donkey while heading towards Khaybar."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from
Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and

way it was facing. Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "Abdullah ibn Umar would
also do that."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "I saw
Anas ibn Malik on a journey praying on a donkey facing away from the

without putting his face on anything."

Murra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib, that Umm Hani bint Abi Talib
told him that in the year of the conquest the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed eight rakas, covering
himself with one garment.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar
ibn Ubaydullah, that Abu Murra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib, told
him that he had heard Umm Hani bint Abi Talib say, "I went to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the
year of the conquest and found him doing ghusl while his daughter
Fatima, was screening him with a garment. I said to him, 'Peace be
upon you' and he said, 'Who is that?' I replied, 'Umm Hani bint Abi
Talib,' and he said, 'Welcome, Umm Hani!' When he had finished his
ghusl, he stood and prayed eight rakas, covering himself with one
garment, and then came away. I said, 'Messenger of Allah, the son of
my mother, AIi, says that he is determined to kill so-and-so, son of
Hubayra, a man I have placed under my protection.' The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'We give
protection to whoever you have given protection to, Umm Hani.' "
Umm Hani related that this incident happened in the morning.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "I never once saw the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, doing the voluntary prayer of
duha, but I myself do it. Sometimes the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, would refrain from a practice that he
loved to do, fearing that people would do the same and it would become
fard for them ."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from A'isha
that she used to pray duha with eight rakas, and she would say, "I
would never stop doing them even if my parents were to be brought back
to life."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha from Anas ibn Malik that his grandmother, Mulayka, invited the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, for food
and he ate some of it. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Get up and I will lead you in prayer."
Anas said, "I stood up and took a woven mat belonging to us
that had become black through long use and sprinkled it with water,
and the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
stood on it. The orphan and I formed a row behind him, and the old
woman stood behind us. He prayed two rakas with us and then left."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Ubaydullah
ibn Abdullah ibn Utba said, "I visited Umar ibn al-Khattab just before
noon and found him praying a voluntary prayer. So I stood behind him,
but he pulled me nearer and put me next to him, on his right hand
side, and then Yarfa came and I moved back and we formed a row behind
him."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Abd ar-
Rahman ibn Abi Said al-Khudri from his father that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not let
anyone pass in front of you when you are praying. Repel him as much as
you can, and, if he refuses, fight him, for he is only a shaytan."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar
ibn Ubaydullah from Busr ibn Said that Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani sent
him to Abu Juhaym to ask him what he had heard from the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about passing in front
of someone praying. Abu Juhaym said, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If the one who passes in
front of a man praying knew what he was bringing upon himself it would
be better for him to stop for forty than to pass in front of him.' "
Abu'n-Nadr said, "I do not know whether he said forty days or
months or years."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar that Kab al-Ahbar said, "If the person who passed in front of a
man praying knew what he was bringing on himself, it would be better
for him to sink into the ground than to pass in front of him."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah
ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that Abdullah ibn Abbas said, "I
approached, riding on a donkey, while the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was leading the people in prayer
at Mina, and I was, at that time, nearing puberty. I passed in front
of part of the row, dismounted, sent the donkey off to graze, and then
joined the row, and no one rebuked me for doing so."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn
Abi Waqqas used to pass in front of some of the rows while the prayer
was in progress.
Malik said, "I consider that it is
permissible to do that if the iqama for the prayer has been said and
the imam has said the initial takbir and a man cannot find any way
into the mosque except by going between the rows."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn Abdullah that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "Things that pass in front of a man praying do not break his prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu Jafar al-Qari said, "I
saw Abdullah ibn Umar quickly brush away the small stones from the
place where he was going to put his forehead as he was going down into
sajda."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he had
heard that Abu Dharr used to say, "Brush away the small stones with
one sweep, but if you leave them it is better than a red camel."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Umar ibn al-Khattab
used to order the rows to be straightened, and when they had come to
him and told him that the rows were straight he would say the takbir.
Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle, Abu
Suhayl ibn Malik, that his father said, "I was with Uthman ibn Affan
when the iqama was said for the prayer and I was talking to him about
being assigned a definite allowance by him. I continued talking to him
while he was levelling some small stones with his sandals, and then
some men that he had entrusted to straighten the rows came and told
him that the rows were straight. He said to me, 'Line up in the row,'
and then he said the takbir."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abd al-Karim ibn
Abi'l-Mukhariq al-Basri said, "Among things the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said and did are:
'As long as you do
not feel ashamed, do whatever you wish', the placing of one hand on
the other in prayer (one places the right hand on the left), being
quick to break the fast, and delaying the meal before dawn."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar that Sahl
ibn Sad said, "People used to be ordered to place their right hands on
their left forearms in the prayer."
Abu Hazim added, "I know
for sure that Sahl traces that back to the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that Abdullah ibn al-Arqam used to lead his companions in
prayer. The time for prayer came one day and he went to relieve
himself. When he returned, he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'If you wish to
defecate, you should do so before the prayer.' "
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, "The angels ask for blessings on each one of you as long as he is in the place where he has prayed and has not discharged anything. They say, 'Allah, forgive him. Allah have mercy on him.' "

" لاَ يَزَالُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا كَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ تَحْبِسُهُ لاَ يَمْنَعُهُ أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةُ " .
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, "You are in prayer as long as the prayer detains you
and there is nothing that prevents you from returning to your family
except the prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu
Bakr, that Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman used to say, "Someone who goes
to the mosque in the morning or the afternoon with no intention of
going anywhere else, either to learn good or teach it, is like someone
who does jihad in the way of Allah and returns with booty."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nuaym ibn Abdullah al-Mujmir
that he heard Abu Hurayra say, "If any one of you prays and then sits
down in the spot where he has prayed, the angels ask blessings on him
saying, 'Allah, forgive him. Allah, have mercy on him.' And if he
moves from the spot where he has prayed and sits elsewhere in the
mosque waiting for the prayer, he remains in prayer until he prays."

things by which Allah erases wrong actions and by which he raises
ranks:
the complete and correct performance of wudu in adverse
conditions, a great number of steps towards the mosque,and waiting
after one prayer for the next prayer. That is the firm hold, that is
the firm hold, that is the firm hold."

the mosque after the call to prayer, except for someone who intends to
return."

Zubayr from Amr ibn Sulaymaz-Zuraqi from Abu Qatadaal-Ansari that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"When you enter the mosque, you should pray two rakas before you sit
down."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'nNadr, the mawla of Umar
ibn Ubaydullah, that Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman asked him, "Didn't I
see your master sit down before praying after he had entered the
mosque?"
Abu'n-Nadr said, "By that he meant Umar ibn
Ubaydullah, and he was finding fault with him for sitting down before
praying after he had come into the mosque."
Yahya said that
Malik said, "It is good to do that but not obligatory."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to place his palms flat on the surface where he put his forehead.
Nafi said, "I have seen him take his hands out from under his burnus
on a very cold day and place them on the ground."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to say, "When one of you puts his forehead on the ground he
should put his palms on the place where he puts his forehead. Then,
when he rises, he should raise them, for the hands prostrate just as
the face prostrates."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim Salama ibn Dinar
from Sahl ibn Said as-Saidi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, went to the tribe of Bani Amr ibn Awf
to settle their disputes .The time for the prayer came and the
muadhdhin came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, "Could you lead the
people in prayer and I will say the iqama?" He said, "Yes," and Abu
Bakr prayed. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, came back while the people were praying, and approached and
joined the row. People clapped, but Abu Bakr did not turn round. The
people increased their clapping, and Abu Bakr turned round and saw the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, indicated
to him to stay in his place. Abu Bakr raised his hands and praised
Allah that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, had told him to do that. Then he drew back until he was in the
row, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, stepped forward and led the prayer. When he had finished he
said, "Abu Bakr, what stopped you from staying put like I told you?"
Abu Bakr said, "It is not for Ibn Abi Quhafa to pray in front of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Why did I see you all clapping so much? If something happens to you
in the prayer you should say 'Subhana-llah' (Glory be to Allah), and
when you say 'Subhana-llah' you will be heard. Clapping is only for
women."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu Jafar al-Qari said, "I
was praying, and Abdullah ibn Umar was behind me and I was not aware
of it. Then I turned round and he prodded me (in disapproval)."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Umama ibn
Sahl ibn Hunayf said, "Zayd ibn Thabit entered the mosque and found
the people in ruku, so he went into ruku and then moved slowly forward
until he reached the row."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn
Hazim from his father that Amr ibn Sulaym az-Zuraqi said, "Abu Humayd
as-Saidi told me that they asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, how they were to ask for blessings upon
him and he replied that they should say, 'O Allah, bless Muhammad and
his wives and his descendants asYou blessed the family of Ibrahim, and
give baraka to Muhammad and his wives and his descendants as You gave
baraka to the family of Ibrahim. You are worthy of Praise and
Glorious.'"
Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa azwajihi wa alihi
kama sallaita ala ali Ibrahim, wa barakaala Muhammad wa azwajihi wa
alihi kama baraktaalaali Ibrahim, innaka Hamidu'm - Majid.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nuaym ibn Abdullah al-
Mujmirthat Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Zayd told him that Abu Masud al
Ansari said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, came to us at the gathering of Sad ibn Ubada. Bashir ibn
Sad said to him, 'Allah has ordered us to ask for blessings on you,
Messenger of Allah. How should we do it?' The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, remained silent until we wished
we had not asked him. Then he told us to say, 'O Allah, bless Muhammad
and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim, and give baraka to
Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You gave baraka to the family
of Ibrahim. In all the worlds You are worthy of Praise and Glorious,'
and then give the taslim as you have learnt."

peace, used to go to Quba (to pray), he would walk as well as ride.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from an-Numan
ibn Murra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said,"What about drunkenness, stealing and adultery? "That
was before anything had been revealed about them. They said, "Allah
and His Messenger know best." He said, "They are excesses and in them
is a punishment. And the worst of thieves is the one who steals his
prayer." They said, "How does he steal his prayer, Messenger of
Allah?" He replied, "He does not do ruku or sajda properly."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" اجْعَلُوا مِنْ صَلاَتِكُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ " .
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, said, "Do some of the prayers in your houses."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to say, "When a sick man is unable to prostrate he should motion
with his head, and not raise anything to his forehead."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
that if Abdullah ibn Umar arrived at the mosque and the people had
already prayed, he would begin with the obligatory prayer and not pray
anything before it.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
passed by a man who was praying and said, "Peace be upon you," and the
man replied to him. Abdullah ibn Umar returned to him and said, "When
someone says, 'Peace be upon you' to you while you are praying do not
reply, but give a signal with your hand."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to say, "Someone who only remembers that he has forgotten a
prayer when he is praying the next prayer behind an imam, should pray
the prayer he has forgotten after the imam has said the taslim, and
then pray the other one again."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Yahya ibn Habban that his paternal uncle Wasi ibn Habban said, "I
was praying, and Abdullah ibn Umar was resting his back on the wall of
the qibla. When I had finished the prayer I turned towards him on my
left hand side. Abdullah ibn Umar said, 'What stopped you from turning
away to your right?' I replied, 'I saw you and turned towards you.'
Abdullah said, 'You have spoken correctly. People say that you should
turn away to your right, but when you pray, you can turn whichever way
you wish. If you like, to your right, and if you like, to your left.'
"
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that one of the muhajirun in whom he saw no harm asked Abdullah
ibn Amr ibn al-As, "Can I pray in a place where camels are watered?"
Abdullah replied, "No, but you can pray in a sheep-pen."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al-
Musayyab said, "Which prayer is it when you remain in the sitting
position in every raka?'' Said said, "It is maghrib when you miss one
raka, and that is the sunna in all the prayers."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Amir ibn Abdullah ibn az-
Zubayr from Amr ibn Sulaym az-Zuraqi from Abu Qutada al-Ansari that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used
to pray carrying Umama, who was the daughter of his daughter Zaynab by
Abu'l As ibn Rabia ibn Abd Shams. When he prostrated, he put her down,
and when he got up he carried her.
Yahya 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, "A group of angels in the night and a group of angels in
the day alternate with each other among you, and gather together at
the time of the asr and fajr prayers. Then those that have spent the
night among you ascend, and He asks them, and He knows best, 'How did
you leave my slaves?' and they say, 'When we left them they were
praying, and when we came to them they were praying.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and

grant him peace, said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."
A'isha said, "Messenger of Allah, when Abu Bakr stands in your place
his voice does not reach the ears of the people because of his
weeping, so tell Umar to lead the people in prayer." He said, "Tell
Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." A'isha continued, "I told
Hafsa to tell him that when Abu Bakr stood in his place his voice did
not reach the ears of the people because of his weeping, and that he
should tell Umar to lead the people in prayer. Hafsa did so, and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'You are the companions of Yusuf! (referring to the women who cut
their hands when they saw the beauty of Yusuf). Tell Abu Bakr to lead
the people in prayer!' "
A'isha added that Hafsa said to her,
"I have never had anything good from you!"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ata ibn Yazid
al-Laythi that Ubaydullah ibn Adi ibnal-Khiyar said, "Once when the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
sitting with some people, a man came to him and spoke secretly to him.
Nobody knew what he had said until the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, disclosed that he had asked for
permission to kill one of the hypocrites. When he disclosed this, the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'Doesn't he testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah?' The man replied, 'Of course, but he
hasn't really done so.' He said, 'Doesn't he do the prayer?' and the
man replied, 'Of course, but he doesn't really do the prayer.' He
said, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Those are the ones
whom Allah has forbidden me (to kill).' "

there is a lot of water around outside, and I am a man who has lost

that I can take it as a place to pray." The Messenger of Allah, may

there.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abbad ibn Tamim from his paternal uncle that he saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, lying down in the mosque with one foot on top of the other.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ihn al-Musayyab that Umar ibn al Khattab and Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with them, used to do the same.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abdullah
ibn Masud said to a certain man, "You are in a time when men of
understanding (fuqaha) are many and Qur'an reciters are few, when the
limits of behaviour defined in the Qur'an are guarded and its letters
are lost, when few people ask and many give, when they make the prayer
long and the khutba short, and put their actions before their desires.
A time will come upon men when their fuqaha are few but their Qur'an
reciters are many, when the letters of the Qur'an are guarded
carefully but its limits are lost, when many ask but few give, when
they make the khutba long but the prayer short, and put their desires
before their actions."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "I have
heard that the first of the actions of a slave to be considered on the
day of rising is the prayer. If it is accepted from him, the rest of
his actions will be considered, and if it is not accepted from him,
none of his actions will be considered."

Allah bless him and grant him peace, loved most were those which were
done most constantly."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard from Amir ibn
Sad ibn Abi Waqqas that his father said, "There were two brothers, one
of whom died forty nights before the other. The merit of the first was
being mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and he said, 'Wasn't the other one a
muslim?' They said, 'Of course, Messenger of Allah, and there was no
harm in him.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'What will make you realise what his prayer has
brought him. The prayer is like a deep river of sweet water running by
your door into which you plunge five times a day. How much of your
dirtiness do you think that will leave? You do not realise what his
prayer has brought him.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that if some one
passed by Ata ibn Yasar in the mosque with something to trade, he
would call him and ask, "What is the matter with you? What do you
want?" If the man said that he wished to trade with him, he would say,
"You need the market of this world. This is the market of the next
world."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn
al-Khattab set aside an area near the mosque called al-Butayha and
said, "Whoever wishes to talk nonsense or recite poetry or raise his
voice should go to that area."

Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl
ibn Malik that his father heard Talha ibn Ubaydullah say, "Once one of
the people of Najd came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace. He had dishevelled hair and although his voice
could be heard we could not make out what he was saying until he drew
nearer and then we found he was asking about Islam. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, 'There
are five prayers during the day and the night.' He said, 'Do I have to
do anything else besides that?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, added, 'And fasting the month of
Ramadan.' He said, 'Is there anything else I have to do?' He said,
'No, except what you do of your own accord.' The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned zakat. The man
said, 'Is there anything else that I have to do?' He said, 'No, except
what you do of your own accord.'
He continued, "The man went
away saying, 'By Allah, I won't do any more than this, nor will I do
any less.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'That man will be successful, if he is telling the
truth.'
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, "Shaytan ties three knots at the back of your head
when you sleep, and he seals the place of each knot with 'You have a
long night ahead, so sleep.' If you wake up and remember Allah, a knot
is untied. If you do wudu, a knot is untied. If you pray, a knot is
untied, and morning finds you lively and in good spirits, and if not,
morning finds you in bad spirits and lazy."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard more than one of
their men of knowledge say, "There has been no call to prayer or iqama
for the id al-Fitr or the id al-Adha since the time of the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
Malik
said, "That is the sunna about which there is no disagreement among
us."

Chapter 10: The Two 'Ids - كتاب العيدين
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُصَلِّي يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمَ الأَضْحَى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray on the
day of Fitr and the day of Adha before the khutba.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Ubayd,
the mawla of Ibn Azhar said, "I was present at an id with Umar ibn al-
Khattab. He prayed, and then after he had prayed he gave a khutba to
the people and said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, forbade fasting on these two days - the day you break
your fast (after Ramadan), and the day you eat from your sacrifice
(after Hajj) .' "
Abu Ubaydcontinued,"Then I was present at
an id with Uthman ibn Affan. He came and prayed, and when he had
finished he gave a khutba and said, 'Two ids have been joined together
for you on this day of yours. If any of the people of al-Aliyya (the
hills outlying Madina) want to wait for the jumua they can do so, and
if any of them want to return, I have given them permission.' Abu
Ubayd continued, "Then I was present at an id with AIi ibn Abi Talib
(at the time when Uthman was being detained). He came and prayed, and
then after he had prayed he gave a khutba."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said al-
Musayyab told him that people used to be told to eat on the day of
Fitr before setting out. Malik said that he did not consider that
people had to do that for Adha.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Damra ibn Said al-Mazini from
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that Umar ibn al-Khattab
asked Abu Waqid al-Laythi what the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, used to recite in the prayers of Adha and
Fitr. He said, "He used to recite Qaf (Sura 50) and al-lnshiqaq
(Sura84)."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi, the mawla of Abdullah
ibn Umar said, "I was at Adha and Fitr with Abu Hurayra and he said
'Allah is greater' seven times in the first raka, before the
recitation, and five times in the second, before the recitation."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn
al-Musayyab used to go to the place of prayer after praying subh, and
before the sun rose.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Ruman from Salih
ibn Khawwat from someone who had prayed (the prayer of fear) with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on the
day of Dhat ar-Riqa that one group had formed a row with him and one
group had formed a row opposite the enemy. He then prayed one raka
with the group he was with, and then remained standing while they
finished by themselves. They then left and formed a row opposite the
enemy, and then the other group came and he prayed the remaining raka
of his prayer with them, and then remained sitting while they finished
by themselves. Then he said the taslim with them.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad from Salih ibn Khawwat that Sahl ibn Abi Hathma related
to him that the form of the prayer of fear was that the imam stood
with a group of his companions, while another group faced the enemy.
The imam prayed one raka with them, including the prostration, and
then stood. He remained standing while they completed the remaining
raka by themselves. They then said the taslim, left, and formed up
opposite the enemy while the imam remained standing. Then the others
who had not prayed came forward and said the takbir behind the imam
and he prayed one raka with them, including the prostration. He then
said the taslim, while they stood up and prayed the remaining raka by
themselves. Then they said the taslim.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar, when asked about the fear prayer said, "The imam and a group of people go forward and the imam prays a raka with them, while another group, who have not yet prayed, position themselves between him and the enemy. When those who are with him have prayed a raka they draw back to where those who have not prayed are, and do not say the taslim. Then those who have not prayed come forward and pray a raka with him. Then the imam leaves, as he has now prayed two rakas. Everyone else in the two groups stands and prays a raka by himself after the imam has left. In this way each of the two groups will have prayed two rakas. If the fear is greater than that, then the men pray standing on their feet or mounted, either facing the qibla or otherwise."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, did not pray dhuhr and asr on the day of the Trench
until after the sun had set."
Malik said, "The hadith of al-
Qasim ibn Muhammad from Salih ibn Khawwat is the one I like most out
of what I have heard about the fear prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, led
the people in prayer. He stood, and did so for a long time. Then he
went into ruku, and made the ruku long. Then he stood again, and did
so for a long time, though not as long as the first time. Then he went
into ruku, and made the ruku long, though not as long as thefirst
time. Then he rose, and went down into sajda. He then did the same in
the second raka, and by the time he had finished the sun had appeared.
He then gave a khutba to the people, in which he praised Allah and
then said, 'The sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs. They do not
eclipse for anyone's death nor for anyone's life. When you see an
eclipse, call on Allah and say, "Allah is greater" and give sadaqa.'
Then he said, 'O community of Muhammad! ByAllah, there is no-one more
jealous than Allah of a male or female slave of his who commits
adultery. O community of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I knew,
you would laugh little and weep much'."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar that Abdullah ibn Abbas said, "There was an eclipse of the sun
and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
prayed, and the people prayed with him. He stood for a long time,
nearly as long as (it takes to recite) Surat al-Baqara (Sura 2), and
then went into ruku for a long time. Then he rose and stood for a long
time, though less than the first time.Then he went into ruku for a
long time, though less than the first time. Then he went down into
sajda. Then he stood for a long time, though less than the first time.
Then he went into ruku for a long time, though less than the first
time. Then he rose and stood for a long time, though less than the
firsttime. Then he went into ruku for a long time, though less than
the first time. Then he went down into sajda, and by the time he had
finished the sun had appeared. Then he said, 'The sun and the moon are
two of Allah's signs. They do not eclipse for anyone's death nor for
anyone's life. When you see an eclipse, remember Allah.' They said,
'Messenger of Allah, we saw you reach out for something while you were
standing here and then we saw you withdraw.' He said, 'I saw the
Garden and I reached out for a bunch of grapes from it, and if I had
taken it you would have been able to eat from it for as long as this
world lasted. Then I saw the Fire - and I have never seen anything
more hideous than what I saw today - and I saw that most of its
people were women.' They said, 'Why, Messenger of Allah?' He said,
'Because of their ungratefulness (kufr).' Someone said, 'Are they
ungrateful toAllah?' He said, 'They are ungrateful to their husbands
and they are ungrateful for good behaviour (towards them) . Even if
you were to behave well towards one of them for a whole lifetime and
then she were to see you do something (that she did not like) she
would say that she had never seen anything good from you.' "

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً جَاءَتْ تَسْأَلُهَا فَقَالَتْ أَعَاذَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ . فَسَأَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيُعَذَّبُ النَّاسُ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَائِذًا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ مَرْكَبًا فَخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَرَجَعَ ضُحًى فَمَرَّ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَىِ الْحُجَرِ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي وَقَامَ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذُوا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from 'Amra
bint Abd ar-Rahman from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, that a jewish woman came to beg from
her and said, "May Allah give you refuge from the punishment of the
grave." So A'isha asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, "Are people punished in their graves?", and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took
refuge in Allah from that. Then one morning the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out on a journey and
there was an eclipse of the sun, and he returned in the late morning
and passed through his apartments. Then he stood and prayed, and the
people stood behind him. He stood for a long time, and then went into
ruku for a long time. Then he rose and stood for a long time, though
less than the first time, and then went into ruku for a long time,
though less than the first time. Then he rose, and went down into
sajda. Then he stood for a long time, though less than the time
before, and then went into ruku for a long time, though less than the
time before. Then he rose and stood for a long time, though less than
the time before, and then went into ruku for a long time, though less
than the time before. Then he rose, and went down into sajda. When he
had finished he said what Allah willed him to say, and then he told
them to seek protection for themselves from the punishment of the
grave."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from Fatima
bint al Mundhir that Asma bint Abi Bakr as-Siddiq said, "I went to
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, during an eclipse of the sun, and everybody was standing in
prayer, and she too was standing praying. I said, 'What is everybody
doing?' She pointed towards the sky with her hand and said, 'Glory be
to Allah.' I said, 'A sign?' She nodded 'Yes' with her head."
She continued, "I stood until I had almost fainted, and I began to
pour water over my head. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, praised Allah and spoke well of Him, and then
said, 'There is nothing which I had previously not seen beforehand
that I have not now seen while standing - even the Garden and the
Fire. It has been revealed to me that you will be tried in your graves
with a trial, like, or near to, the trial of the Dajjal (I do not know
which one Asma said). Every one of you will have someone who comes to
him and asks him, 'What do you know about this man?' A mumin, or one
who has certainty (muqin) (I do not know which one Asma said), will
say, 'He is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, who came to us with clear proofs and guidance, and we
answered and believed and followed.' He will then be told, 'Sleep in a
good state. We know now that you were a mumin.' A hypocrite, however,
or one who has doubts (l do not know which one Asma said), will say,
'I do not know, I heard everybody saying something and I said it.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Amr
ibn Hazm that he had heard Abbad ibn Tamim say that he had heard
Abdullah ibn Zayd al-Mazini say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, came out to the place of prayer and
asked for rain, and when he faced the qibla he turned his cloak inside
out."
Malik was asked how many rakas there were in the prayer
of asking for rain and he said, "Two rakas, and the imam does the
prayer before he gives the khutba. He prays two rakas, and then he
gives a khutba and makes dua, facing the qibla and turning his cloak
inside out. He recites out loud in both rakas, and when he turns his
cloak inside out he puts what is on his right on his left, and what is
on his left on his right, and all the people turn their cloaks inside
out when the imam does so, and face the qibla, sitting."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Namir that Anas ibn Malik said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of
Allah, our animals are dying and our camels are too weak to travel, so
make dua to Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, made dua, and it rained on us from one jumua to the
next."
Anas continued, "Then a man came to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger
of Allah, our houses have fallen down, the paths are blocked, and our
flocks are dying.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'O Allah, (only) the mountain and hill-tops,
the valley bottoms, and the places where trees grow.' "
Anas
added, "It cleared away from Madina like a garment being removed."
Malik said, about a man who missed the prayer of asking for
rain but caught the khutba, and wished to pray in the mosque, or in
his house when he returned, "He is free to do so, or not, as he
wishes."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Salih ibn Kaysan from
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that Zayd ibn Khalid al-
Juhani said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, took the subh prayer with us at Hudaybiyya after it had
rained in the night. When he had finished he went up to the people and
said, 'Do you know what your Lord has said?' They said, 'Allah and His
Messenger know best.' He said, 'Some of my slaves have begun the
morning believing in Me, and others have begun it rejecting Me. As for
those who say, 'We were rained on by the overflowing favour of Allah
and His mercy,' they believe in Me and reject the stars. But as for
those who say, 'We were rained on by such and such a star, they reject
Me and believe in the stars.' "

companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, say, while he was in Egypt, "By Allah! I don't know how to
deal with these lavatories." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "When you go to defecate or urinate, do

defecating or urinating while facing the qibla.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from his paternal uncle, Wasi ibn Habban, that Abdullah ibn Umar said, "People say, 'When you sit to relieve yourself, do not face the qibla or the Bayt al-Maqdis.' "
Abdullah continued, "I went upon top of a house of ours and saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, (squatting) on two unfired bricks facing the Bayt al-Maqdis, relieving himself."
Ibn Umar added, "Perhaps you are one of those who pray folded on their haunches."
Wasi replied, "I don't know, by Allah!"
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,
saw spittle on the wall of the qibla and scraped it off. Then he went
up to the people and said, "Do not spit in front of you when you are
praying, because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, is in front of you
when you pray."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, mayAllah bless him and
grant him peace, that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, saw spittle, or mucus or phlegm, on the wall of the qibla and
scraped it off.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar that
Abdullah ibn Umar said, "On one occasion when the people were praying
subhat Quba a man came to them and said, 'A piece of Qur'an was sent
down to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, last night, and he was ordered to face the Kaba, so face it.'
They had been facing ash-Sham, so they turned round and faced the
Kaba.''

after arriving in Madina. Then the qibla was moved, two months before
the battle of Badr. "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm that in a letter that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent to Amr ibn Hazm it said that no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pure.
Malik said, "No-one should carry the Qur'an by its strap, or on a cushion, unless he is pure. If it were permissible to do so, it would also have been permissible to carry it in its cover. This is not because there is something on the hands of the one who carries it by which the Qur'an will be soiled, but because it is disapproved of for someone to carry the Qur'an without being pure out of respect for the Qur'an, and in order to honour it."
Malik said, "The best thing that I have heard about this is the ayat 'None touch it except the purified.' (Sura 56 ayat 79) It ranks with the ayat in Surat Abasa (Sura 80), where Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'No, it is a reminder, and whoever wishes will remember it. Upon honoured pages, exalted and purified, by the hands of scribes, noble and obedient.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima as-
Sakhtayani from Muhammad ibn Sirin that Umar ibn al-Khattab was with
some people who were reciting Qur'an. He went to relieve himself and
then came back and recited Qur'an. One of the men said to him, "Amir
al muminin, are you reciting the Qur'an without being in wudu?" Umar
replied, "Who gave you a verdict on this? Was it Musaylima?"'
Yahya related to me from Malik from Dawud ibn al-Husayn from al-
Araj from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari that Umar ibn al Khattab said,
"Whoever misses reading his hizb at night and reads it from when the
sun has passed the meridian until the dhuhr prayer has not missed it,
or it is as if he has caught it."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "Once
Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban and I were sitting down, and Muhammad
called a man over to him and said to him, 'Tell me what you have heard
from your father.' The man replied that his father had told him that
he went to Zayd ibn Thabit and asked him, 'What do you think of
reciting the whole Qur'an in seven days?' Zayd said, 'That's good,
but I prefer to recite it in two weeks, or ten days. Ask me why that
is.' He said, 'I ask you then.' Zayd said, 'So that I can reflect on
it and pause in it.' "

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَؤُهَا وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَقْرَأَنِيهَا فَكِدْتُ أَنْ أَعْجَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَمْهَلْتُهُ حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ ثُمَّ لَبَّبْتُهُ بِرِدَائِهِ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ هَذَا يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَأْتَنِيهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَرْسِلْهُ - ثُمَّ قَالَ - اقْرَأْ يَا هِشَامُ " . فَقَرَأَ الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي " اقْرَأْ " . فَقَرَأْتُهَا فَقَالَ " هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari said that he had heard Umar
ibn al-Khattab say, "I heard Hisham ibn Hakim ibn Hizam reciting Surat
al-Furqan (Sura 25) differently from me, and it was the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who had recited it to
me. I was about to rush up to him but I granted him a respite until he
had finished his prayer. Then I grabbed him by his cloak and took him
to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
and said, 'Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Surat al-
Furqan differently from the way you recited it to me.' The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Let him go.'
Then he said, 'Recite, Hisham,' and Hisham recited as I had heard him
recite. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'It was sent down like that.' Then he said to me,
'Recite' and I recited the sura, and he said, 'It was sent down like
that. This Qur'an was sent down in seven (different) ways, so recite
from it whatever is easy for you .' "

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, "A man who knows the Qur'an well is like a man who has a hobbled
camel. If he takes care of it, he keeps it, and if he lets it go, it
gets away."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يَأْتِيكَ الْوَحْىُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" أَحْيَانًا يَأْتِينِي فِي مِثْلِ صَلْصَلَةِ الْجَرَسِ وَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَىَّ فَيَفْصِمُ عَنِّي وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ مَا قَالَ وَأَحْيَانًا يَتَمَثَّلُ لِيَ الْمَلَكُ رَجُلاً فَيُكَلِّمُنِي فَأَعِي مَا يَقُولُ " . قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّدِيدِ الْبَرْدِ فَيُفْصِمُ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّ جَبِينَهُ لَيَتَفَصَّدُ عَرَقًا .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, that al-Harith ibn Hisham asked the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "How does the
revelation come to you?" and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Sometimes it comes to me like the
ringing of a bell, and that is the hardest for me, and when it leaves
me I remember what it has said. And sometimes the angel appears to me
in the likeness of a man and talks to me and I remember what he says."
A'isha added, "I saw it coming down on him on an intensely
cold day, and when it had left him his forehead was dripping with
sweat."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أُنْزِلَتْ {عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى} فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ اسْتَدْنِينِي وَعِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ وَيُقْبِلُ عَلَى الآخَرِ وَيَقُولُ " يَا أَبَا فُلاَنٍ هَلْ تَرَى بِمَا أَقُولُ بَأْسًا " . فَيَقُولُ لاَ وَالدِّمَاءِ مَا أَرَى بِمَا تَقُولُ بَأْسًا . فَأُنْزِلَتْ {عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى أَنْ جَاءَهُ الأَعْمَى}
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said that Abasa (Sura 80) was sent down about Abdullah ibn Umm
Maktum. He came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and began to say, "O Muhammad, show me a place near you (where
I can sit)," whilst one of the leading men of the idol worshippers was
in audience with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, began to turn
away from him and give his attention to the other man, and he said to
him, "Father of so-and-so, do you see any harm in what I am saying?"
and he said, "No, by the blood (of our sacrifices) I see no harm in
what you are saying." And Abasa - "He frowned and turned away when
the blind man came" - was sent down.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his
father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was on one of his journeys, and one night Umar ibn al-Khattab,
who was travelling with him, asked him about something, but he did not
answer him. He asked him again, but he did not answer him. Then he
asked him again, and again he did not answer him. Umar said, "May your
mother be bereaved of you, Umar. Three times you have importuned the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with a
question and he has not answered you at all."
Umar continued,
"I got my camel moving until, when I was in front of the people, I
feared that a piece of Qur'an was being sent down about me. It was not
long before I heard a crier calling for me, and I said that I feared
that a piece of Qur'an had been sent down about me." He continued, "I
came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and said, 'Peace be upon you' to him, and he said, 'A sura has
been sent down to me this night that is more beloved to me than
anything on which the sun rises.' Then he recited al-Fath (Sura 48).
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar Rahman
that Abu Said said that he had heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, "A group of people will appear
among you whose prayer, fasting and deeds will make you think little
of your own prayer, fasting and deeds. They will recite the Qur'an,
but it wil not get past their throats, and they will pass through the
deen like an arrow passes through game. You look at the arrowhead, and
you see nothing, and you look at the shaft, and you see nothing, and
you look at the flights, and you see nothing. And you are in doubt
about the notch."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Yazid, the mawla
of al Aswad ibn Sufyan, from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar Rahman that Abu
Hurayra recited al-Inshiqaq (Sura 84) to them and prostrated in it.
When he had finished he told them that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, had prostrated in it.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi, the mawla of Ibn Umar
that a man from Egypt told him that Umar ibn al-Khattab recited Surat
al-Hajj (Sura 22) and prostrated twice in it, and then said, "This
sura has been given special preference by having two prostrations in
it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from al-Araj that
Umar ibn al Khattab recited Surat an-Najm (Sura 53) and prostrated in
it, and then got up and recited another sura.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that Umar ibn al-Khattab once recited a piece of Qur'an requiring a prostration while he was on the mimbar on the day of jumua, and he came down and prostrated, and everyone prostrated with him. Then he recited it again the next jumua and everybody prepared to prostrate but he said, "At your ease. Allah has not prescribed it for us, unless we wish." He did not prostrate, and he stopped them from prostrating.
Malik said, "The imam does not come down and prostrate when he recites a piece of Qur'an requiring a prostration while he is on the mimbar."
Malik said, "The position with us is that there are eleven prescribed prostrations in the Qur'an, none of which are in the mufassal."
Malik said, "No-one should recite any of the pieces of Qur'an that require a prostration after the prayers of subh and asr. This is because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade prayer after subh until after the sun had risen, and after asr until the sun had set, and prostration is part of the prayer. So no-one should recite any piece of Qur'an requiring a prostration during these two periods of time."
Malik was asked whether a menstruating woman could prostrate if she heard some-one reciting a passage of Qur'an requiring a prostration, and he said, "Neither a man nor a woman should prostrate unless they are ritually pure."
Malik was asked whether a man in the company of a woman who was reciting a passage of Qur'an requiring a prostration should prostrate with her, and he said, "He does not have to prostrate with her. The prostration is only obligatory for people who are with a man who is leading them. He recites the piece and they prostrate with him. Some one who hears a piece of Qur'an that requires a prostration being recited by a man who is not leading him in prayer does not have to do the prostration."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abdullah
ibn Sasaca from his father that Abu Said al-Khudri heard a man
reciting Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112), repeating it over and over again.
In the morning he went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and mentioned it to him, as if he thought little
of it. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Bythe One in whose hand my self is, it is equal to one
third of the Qur'an."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ubaydullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman
that Ubayd ibn Hunayn, the mawla of the family of Zayd ibn al Khattab,
said that he had heard Abu Hurayra say, "I was going along with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when he
heard a man reciting Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112). The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'It is
obligatory,' and I asked him, 'What is, Messenger of Allah?' and he
said, 'The Garden.' I wanted to tell the man the good news but I was
afraid that I would miss the midday meal with the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I preferred to eat with
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When
I went to the man afterwards I found that he had gone."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Humayd ibn
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf had told him that Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112) was
equal to a third of the Qur'an, and that Surat al-Mulk (Sura 67)
pleaded for its owner.
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, "Whoever says
'There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. The Kingdom
and praise belong to Him and He has power over everything' (La ilaha
illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu'l mulku wa lahu'l hamd, wa
huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir) one hundred times a day, it is the same
for him as freeing ten slaves. One hundred good actions are written
for him and one hundred wrong actions are erased from him, and it is a
protection from Shaytan for that day until the night. No-one does
anything more excellent than what he does except someone who does more
than that."
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, "Whoever says,
'Glory be to Allah and with His praise' (Subhana'llah wa bi-hamdihi)
one hundred times in a day will have his wrong actions taken away from
him, even if they are as abundant as the foam on the sea."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Ubayd, the mawla of
Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik, from Ata ibn Yazid al-Laythi that Abu
Hurayra said, "Whoever says 'Glory be to Allah' (Subhana'llah) thirty-
three times and 'Allah is Greater' (Allahu akbar) thirty-three times
and 'Praise be to Allah' (al-hamdu lillah) thirty-three times, and
seals the hundred with 'There is no god but Allah, alone without any
partner. The Kingdom and praise belong to Him and He has power over
everything' (La ilaha illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu'l mulku
wa lahu'l hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir) after every prayer
will have his wrong actions forgiven him even if they are abundant as
the foam on the sea."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Umara ibn Sayyad had heard
Said ibn al Musayyab say about abiding good deeds that they were a
slave's saying 'Allah is greater' (Allahu akbar) and 'Glory be to
Allah' (Subahana'llah) and 'Praise be to Allah' (al-hamdu lillah) and
'There is no god but Allah and there is no power and no strength
except by Allah.' (La ilaha illa'llah wa la hawla wa la
quwwata illa bi'llah.)
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ziyad ibn Abi Ziyad said that
Abu'd-Darda had said, "Shall I not tell you the best of your deeds,
and those that give you the highest rank, and those that are the
purest with your King, and are better for you than giving gold and
silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their
necks?" They said, "Of course." He said, "Remembrance (dhikr) of Allah
ta ala."

Malik related to me from Nuaym ibn Abdullah ibn al-Mujmir from
AIi ibn Yahya az-Zuraqi from his father that Rifaa ibn Rafi said, "One
day we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, raised his head from ruku and said, 'Allah hears
the one who praises Him' (Sami Allahu liman hamidah). A man behind him
said, 'Our Lord, praise belongs to you - blessed, pure and abundant
praise' (Rabbana wa laka'l hamd, hamdan kathiran tayiban mubarakan fihi). When
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had
finished, he said, 'Who was it who spoke just now?' The man said, 'I
did, Messenger of Allah,' and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'I saw more than thirty angels rushing
to it to see which one of them would record it first.' "

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, "Every prophet is given a supplication (dua), and I
wish to preserve my dua as intercession for my community in the next
world.
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, used to say the following dua, "O Allah, it is You who makes
the dawn break and makes the night a time for rest and appoints the
sun and moon to reckon by. Relieve me of debt and enrich me from
poverty and let me enjoy my hearing, my sight and my strength in Your
way."

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 are making dua do not say; 'O Allah,
forgive me if You wish. O Allah, forgive me if you wish.' You should
be firm in your asking, for there is no compelling Him."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Ubayd,
the mawla of Ibn Azhar, from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You will be answered
as long as you are not impatient and say, 'I have made a dua and I
have not been answered .' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Abdullah
al-Agharr and from Abu Salama from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Our Lord, the
Blessed and Exalted, descends every night to the heaven of this world
when the last third of the night is still to come and says, 'Who will
call on Me so that I may answer him? Who will ask Me so that I may
give him? Who will ask forgiveness of Me so that I may forgive him?' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi that A'isha, umm al-muminin said,
"I was sleeping by the side of the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless
him and grant him peace, and I missed him in the night, so I felt for
him with my hand and I put my hand on his feet and he was in sajda
saying, 'I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath, and in Your
pardon from Your punishment, and in You from You. I cannot enumerate
Your praises as You praise Yourself.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ziyad ibn Abi Ziyad from
Talha ibn Ubaydullah ibn Kariz that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah

of Arafa, and the best thing that I or the Prophets before me have
said is 'There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner' (La
ilaha illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah.)"
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZubayr al-Makki from
Tawus al-Yamani from Abdullah ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to teach this dua in the
same way that he would teach them a sura of the Qur'an, "O Allah, I
seek refuge in You from the torment of Jahannam, and I seek refuge in
You from the trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the
trial of life and death."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn
Jabir ibn Atik said that Abdullah ibn Umar had come to them in Bani
Muawiya, one of the villages of the Ansar, and said, "Do you know
where the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
prayed in this mosque of yours? "I told him, "Yes," and I pointed out
a place near where he was. He said, "Do you know the three things for
which he made dua here?" I said "Yes." He said, "Tell me them then." I
said, "He asked that He would not make an enemy from among the non-
believers triumph over the believers and that He would not destroy the
believers by bad harvests, and he was given both these things. And he
asked that He would not make the believers fight among themselves, and
that was refused." Ibn Umar said, "You have told the truth," and he
added, "Turmoil will not cease until the day of rising."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Zayd ibn Aslam used to say,
"No-one makes a dua without one of three things happening. Either it
is answered, or it is stored up for him, or wrong actions are atoned
for by it."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said,
"Abdullah ibn Umar saw me when I was making dua and I was pointing
with two fingers, one from each hand, and he forbade me."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab used to say, "A man is raised by the dua of his son after
his death." He spoke with his hands turned upwards, and then lifted
them up.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said, "The following ayat was sent down about dua - 'And do not
be loud in your prayer and do not be silent in it, but seek a way
between these.' " (Sura 17 ayat 110)
Yahya said that Malik
was asked about making dua in obligatory prayers and he said, "There
is no harm in making dua in them."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ
" اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِي النَّاسِ فِتْنَةً فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to
make dua saying, "O Allah, I askYou for good actions and for leaving
what is disapproved of and for love of the poor. And if You wish to
try people, then bring me to You without being tried."
Allahumma inniy asa'luka fala'l-khayrati, wa tarqa'l-munqarati, wa

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No
one calls to guidance without having the same reward as those who
follow him without diminishing their rewards at all. And no one calls
to error without having the same burdens as they do without
diminishing their burdens at all."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abdullah
ibn Umar said, "O Allah, make me one of the leaders of the people of
taqwa ."
Allahumma jalniy min a'imati'l-mutaqin.
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu'd-Darda
used to rise in the middle of the night and say, "Eyes have slept, and
stars have set, and You are the Living and Self Subsistent."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar from Abdullah as-Sunabihi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "The sun rises and with it is a
horn of Shaytan and when the sun gets higher the horn leaves it. Then
when the sun reaches the meridian the horn joins it and when the sun
declines the horn leaves it, and when the sun has nearly set it joins
it again." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, forbade prayer at these times.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, used to say, "Delay the prayer when the edge of the sun
appears until it is completely in view, and delay the prayer when the
edge of the sun is disappearing until it has completely disappeared."
Yahya related to me from Malik that al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman
said, "We visited Anas ibn Malik after dhuhr and he stood up and
prayed asr. When he had finished his prayer, we mentioned doing
prayers early in their time, or he mentioned it, and he said that he
had heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, the prayer of the hypocrites, the prayer of the
hypocrites, the prayer of the hypocrites is that one of them sits
until the sun becomes yellow and is between the horns of Shaytan, or
on the horn of Shaytan, and then gets up and rattles off four rakas,
hardly remembering Allah in them at all.' "

had set, and prayer after subh until the sun had risen.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from
Abdullah ibn Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to say, "Do not intend
to do your prayer at either sunrise or sunset, for the horns of
Shaytan rise with the rising of the sun and set with its setting."
Umar used to beat people for that kind of prayer.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad from his
father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was washed in a long shirt.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima as-
Sakhtayani from Muhammad ibn Sirin that Umm Atiyya al-Ansariyya said,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came
to us when his daughter died and said, 'Wash her three times, or five,
or more than that if you think it necessary, with water and lotus
leaves, and at the end put on some camphor, or a little camphor, and
when you have finished let me know.' When we finished we told him, and
he gave us his waist-wrapper and said, 'Shroud her with this.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that
Asma bint Umays washed Abu Bakr as-Siddiq when he died. Then she went
out and asked some of the muhajirun who were there, "I am fasting and
this is an extremely cold day. Do I have to do ghusl?" They said,
"No."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard people of
knowledge say, "When a woman dies and there are no women with her to
wash her and no man who has the right by blood ties to take charge of
that for her and no husband to take charge of it for her, she should
be purified by tayammum ,that is, by wiping her face and hands with
earth."
Malik said, "When a man dies and there are only women
with him, they also should purify him with earth ."
Malik
said, "There is no particular way with us for washing the dead nor any
recognised way to do it. They are just washed and purified."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father 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, was shrouded in three pure white cotton garments,
none of which was a long shirt or a turban.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that he
had heard that when Abu Bakr as-Siddiq was ill he asked A'isha, "How
many shrouds did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, have?" and she replied, "Three pure white cotton garments."
Abu Bakr said, "Take this garment (a garment he was wearing on which
red clay or saffron had fallen) and wash it. Then shroud me in it with
two other garments." A'isha said, "Why's that?", and Abu Bakr replied,
"The living have greater need of the new than the dead. This is only
for the body fluids that come out as the body decays."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Humayd ibn
Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As said, "A dead man
is clothed in a shirt and a waist-wrapper and then wrapped in a third,
and if he only has one garment he is shrouded in that."

him."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Umama ibn
Sahl ibn Hunayf told him that once a poor woman fell ill and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was told
of her illness, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to visit poor people frequently and ask after
them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "Let me know if she dies." Her bier was brought out at night-
time and they did not want to wake up the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. In the morning the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was told what had
happened to her and he said, "Didn't I tell you to let me know if she
died?" They replied, "Messenger of Allah, we did not want to wake you
up and make you come out in the night." Then the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out and formed everyone
into rows by her grave and said "Allah is greater" four times.
Yahya related to me that Malik asked Ibn Shihab about a man who
caught some of the takbirs said over the corpse and missed the rest,
and Ibn Shihab said, "He completes what he has missed."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from his father that he had asked Abu Hurayra, "How do you pray over
the dead?" and Abu Hurayra replied, "By the Life of Allah, I will tell
you! I follow with the family and when the corpse is put down I say
'Allah is greater' and praise Allah and ask for blessings on His
Prophet. Then I say, 'O Allah, he is Your slave and the son of Your
male slave and Your female slave. He used to testify that there is no
god but You and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger, and
You know that best. O Allah, if he acted well, then increase for him
his good action, and if he acted wrongly, then overlook his wrong
actions. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not try us
after him.'"

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that he
heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, "I once prayed behind Abu Hurayra over
a child who had never done a wrong action and I heard him say, 'O
Allah, give him protection from the torment of the grave.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abi Harmala, the
mawla of Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Sufyan ibn Huwaytib, that Zaynab bint
Abi Salama died during the time that Tariq was amir of Madina and her
bier was brought out after subh and put in al-Baqi. He said that Tariq
used to pray subh right at the beginning of its time. He added, "I
heard Abdullah ibn Umar say to the family, 'You can either pray over
your dead now or you can wait until the sun comes up.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "The prayer for a dead person can be done after asr and subh if
these have been prayed at their times."

Some people disapproved of her doing that, and she said, "How hasty
people are! The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, only prayed over Suhayl ibn Bayda in the mosque."
