Muwatta Malik: Chapter 49

كتاب صفة النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم

The Description of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace

Muwatta 49.1
Yahya related to me from Malik that Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
heard Anas ibn Malik say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, was not excessively tall or short. He was not
very pallid nor dark. He did not have curly hair or lank hair. Allah
commissioned him at the age of forty. He stayed in Makka ten years and
at Madina for ten years and Allah the Mighty, the Majestic made him
die when he was sixty. There were not twenty white hairs in his hair
or beard, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."

حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ الْبَائِنِ وَلاَ بِالْقَصِيرِ وَلَيْسَ بِالأَبْيَضِ الأَمْهَقِ وَلاَ بِالآدَمِ وَلاَ بِالْجَعْدِ الْقَطَطِ وَلاَ بِالسَّبِطِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعْرَةً بَيْضَاءَ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.2
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, "I dreamt at night that I was at the Kaba, and I saw a dark man
like the most handsome of dark men you have ever seen. He had hair
reaching to between his ears and his shoulders like the most excellent
of such hair that you have seen. He had combed his hair, and water was
dripping from it. He was leaning on two men or on the shoulders of two
men doing tawaf around Kaba. I asked, 'Who is this?' It was said, 'al-
Masih ibn Maryam.' Then we were with a man with wiry hair and blind in
his right eye, as if it was a floating grape. I asked 'Who is this?'
It was said to me, 'This is al-Masih ad-Dajjal.' "

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
"‏ أَرَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً آدَمَ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنْ أُدْمِ الرِّجَالِ لَهُ لِمَّةٌ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنَ اللِّمَمِ قَدْ رَجَّلَهَا فَهِيَ تَقْطُرُ مَاءً مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ - أَوْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِ رَجُلَيْنِ - يَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قِيلَ هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ جَعْدٍ قَطَطٍ أَعْوَرِ الْعَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى كَأَنَّهَا عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقِيلَ لِي هَذَا الْمَسِيحُ الدَّجَّالُ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.3
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from his father that Abu Hurayra said, "There are five things from the
fitra:
cutting the nails, trimming the moustache, removing the hair
from the armpit, shaving the pubic region and circumcision."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ تَقْلِيمُ الأَظَافِرِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَالاِخْتِتَانُ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.4
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyub said, "Ibrahim, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
was the first to give hospitality to the guest and the first person to
be circumcised and the first person to trim the moustache and the
first person to see grey hair. He said, 'O Lord! What is this?' Allah
the Blessed, the Exalted, said, 'It is dignity, Ibrahim.' He said,
'Lord, increase me in dignity!' "


Yahya said that he had
heard Malik say, "One takes from the moustache until the edge of the
lip appears, that is the rim. One does not cut if off completely so
that one mutilates oneself."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ ضَيَّفَ الضَّيْفَ وَأَوَّلَ النَّاسِ اخْتَتَنَ وَأَوَّلَ النَّاسِ قَصَّ الشَّارِبَ وَأَوَّلَ النَّاسِ رَأَى الشَّيْبَ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَقَارٌ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَبِّ زِدْنِي وَقَارًا ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ الشَّارِبِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ طَرَفُ الشَّفَةِ وَهُوَ الإِطَارُ وَلاَ يَجُزُّهُ فَيُمَثِّلُ بِنَفْسِهِ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.5
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr from Jabir ibn
Abdullah as-Salami that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, forbade a man to eat with his left hand or walk
in one sandal or wrap a single garment around his drawn-up legs
exposing his genitals.

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَمِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الرَّجُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ أَوْ يَمْشِيَ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَأَنْ يَشْتَمِلَ الصَّمَّاءَ وَأَنْ يَحْتَبِيَ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ كَاشِفًا عَنْ فَرْجِهِ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.6
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar from Abdullah ibn Umar that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"When you eat, eat with your right hand and drink with your right
hand. Shaytan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
"‏ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِيَمِينِهِ وَلْيَشْرَبْ بِيَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.7
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 very poor are not the people who constantly walk
from person to person and are given one or two morsels, and one or two
dates." They said, "Who are the very poor, Messenger of Allah?" He
said, "People who do not find enough for themselves and other people
are not aware of them to give sadaqa to them, and they do not start
begging from other people."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَتَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الَّذِي لاَ يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَلاَ يَفْطُنُ النَّاسُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.8
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ibn
Bujayd (formerly al-Ansari) from his grandmother that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Give to the
very poor, if only a roasted hoof."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُجَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، ثُمَّ الْحَارِثِيِّ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
"‏ رُدُّوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَلَوْ بِظِلْفٍ مُحْرَقٍ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.9
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj that
Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'The muslim eats in one intestine, and the
kafir eats in seven!' "

حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
"‏ يَأْكُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ وَالْكَافِرُ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.10
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, gave hospitality to a kafir guest. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered a
sheep to be brought for him and it was milked. He drank its milk. Then
another came, and he drank it. Then another came and he drank it until
he had drunk the milk of seven sheep. In the morning he became muslim,
and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
ordered a sheep for him. It was milked and he drank its milk. Then he
ordered another for him and he could not finish it. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The mumin
drinks in one intestine, and the kafir drinks in seven intestines."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ضَافَهُ ضَيْفٌ كَافِرٌ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَاةٍ فَحُلِبَتْ فَشَرِبَ حِلاَبَهَا ثُمَّ أُخْرَى فَشَرِبَهُ ثُمَّ أُخْرَى فَشَرِبَهُ حَتَّى شَرِبَ حِلاَبَ سَبْعِ شِيَاهٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَصْبَحَ فَأَسْلَمَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَاةٍ فَحُلِبَتْ فَشَرِبَ حِلاَبَهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ لَهُ بِأُخْرَى فَلَمْ يَسْتَتِمَّهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
"‏ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَشْرَبُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ وَالْكَافِرُ يَشْرَبُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.11
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Zayd ibn Abdullah
ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab from Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi
Bakras-Siddiq from Umm Salama, 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, said, "A person who drinks from a
silver vessel brings the fire of Jahannam into his belly."

حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
"‏ الَّذِي يَشْرَبُ فِي آنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ إِنَّمَا يُجَرْجِرُ فِي بَطْنِهِ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.12
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Habib, the mawla of
Sad ibn Abi Waqqas that Abu'l-Muthanna al-Juhani said, "I was with
Marwan ibn al-Hakam and Abu Said al-Khudri came to him. Marwan ibn al-
Hakam said to him, 'Have you heard that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade blowing into drinks?' Abu
Said said to him, 'Yes.' A man said to him, 'Messenger of Allah, I am
not quenched from one breath.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said to him, 'Remove the cup from your mouth
and then breathe.' He said, 'Sometimes I see something floating in
it?' He said, 'Then pour it out.'"

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، مَوْلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ أَسَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ النَّفْخِ فِي الشَّرَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لاَ أَرْوَى مِنْ نَفَسٍ وَاحِدٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ فَأَبِنِ الْقَدَحَ عَنْ فِيكَ ثُمَّ تَنَفَّسْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَرَى الْقَذَاةَ فِيهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَأَهْرِقْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.13
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn
al-Khattab and Ali ibn Abi Talib and Uthman ibn Affan drank while
standing.

حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، وَعَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَعُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ قِيَامًا ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.14
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that A'isha, umm
al-muminin and Sad ibn Abi Waqqas did not see any harm in a man
drinking while standing.

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَسَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، كَانَا لاَ يَرَيَانِ بِشُرْبِ الإِنْسَانِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بَأْسًا ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.15
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu Jafar al-Qari said, "I
saw Abdullah ibn Umar drink while standing."

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْقَارِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.16
Yahya related to me from Malik from Amir ibn Abdullah ibn az-
Zubayr that his father used to drink while standing.

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.17
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, was brought some milk which was mixed with well-water. There
was a Bedouin at his right side and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq on his left. He
drank and then gave it to the Bedouin and said, "The right-hand to the
right-hand."

حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِلَبَنٍ قَدْ شِيبَ بِمَاءٍ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ أَعْطَى الأَعْرَابِيَّ وَقَالَ ‏
"‏ الأَيْمَنَ فَالأَيْمَنَ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.18
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar from Sahl
ibn Sad al-Ansari that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, was brought a drink and he drank some of it. There
was a boy at his right and some old men on his left. He said to the
boy, "Will you give me permission to give it to these people?" The boy
said, "No, Messenger of Allah, I will not prefer anyone to get my
portion from you." He said, "So the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, placed it in his hand."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلاَمٌ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ الأَشْيَاخُ فَقَالَ لِلْغُلاَمِ ‏
"‏ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَ هَؤُلاَءِ ‏"

‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الْغُلاَمُ لاَ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لاَ أُوثِرُ بِنَصِيبِي مِنْكَ أَحَدًا ‏.‏ قَالَ فَتَلَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي يَدِهِ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.19
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha heard Anas ibn Malik say that Abu Talha had said to Umm Sulaym,
"I have just been listening to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and his voice was very weak. I recognised
hunger in it, so, do you have anything?" She replied, "Yes," and
brought out some barley loaves. She took her long head scarf and
wrapped up the bread with part of it and put it into my (Anas's) hand
and gave me part of it to wear. Then she sent me to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."


Anas
continued, "I took it, and I found the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, sitting in the mosque with some people.
I watched them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'Did Abu Talha send you?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said,
'For food?' I said, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said to those with him, 'Let us go.' He set off
and I went among them until I came to Abu Talha and told him. Abu
Talha said, 'Umm Sulaym! The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, has brought people and we have no food. What
shall we give them to eat?' She said, 'Allah and His Messenger know
best.' "


Anas continued, "Abu Talha went out and met 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,
approached with Abu Talha until they entered. The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Come now, Umm Sulaym,
what have you got?' She brought out bread. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered it to be broken into
pieces, and Umm Sulaym squeezed out onto it a container of clarified
butter which she had seasoned. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said whatever Allah wished him to say,
and said, 'Will you give permission for ten of them to come in?' He
gave them permission, and they ate until they were full and then left.
He said, 'Give permission to ten more.' He gave them permission, and
they ate until they were full and left. Then he said, 'Give permission
to ten more.' He gave them permission and they ate until they were
full and left. Then he said, 'Give permission to ten more.' He gave

three is enough for four."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr al-Makki from
Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Lock the door, tie the waterskin, turn the
vessel over or cover it, and put out the lamp. Shaytan does not open a
locked door or untie a tied knot, or uncover a vessel. A mouse may set
fire to people's houses about them."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from Abu Shurayh al-Kabi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last
Day should speak good or be silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the
Last Day should be generous to his neighbour. Whoever believes in
Allah and the Last Day, should be generous to his guest. His welcome
is for a day and a night, and his hospitality is for three days.
Whatever is more than that is sadaqa. It is not halal for a guest to
stay with a man until he becomes a burden."

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, "A man was walking on a
road when he became very thirsty. He found a well and went into it and
drank and came out. There was a dog panting and eating earth out of
thirst. The man said, 'This dog has become as thirsty as I was.' He
went down into the well and filled his shoe and then held it in his
mouth until he climbed out and gave the dog water to drink. Allah
thanked him for it and forgave him." They said, "Messenger of Allah,
do we have a reward for taking care of beasts?" He said, "There is a
reward for every one with a moist liver."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Wahb ibn Kaysan that Jabir
ibn Abdullah said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, sent a delegation to the coast. Abu Ubayda ibn al-
Jarrah was in command of them. There were 300 people and I was among
them. We went out until we had gone part of the way and our provisions
were finished. Abu Ubayda ordered that the provisions of the army be
gathered up and they amounted to two containers of dates. He used to
give us a little provision from it each day until it was finished, and
we used to have only a single date each. I said, 'What use is one
date?' He said, 'We will certainly feel its loss when they are
finished.' "


Jabir continued, "Then we reached the sea and
there was a fish like a small mountain. The army ate from it for
eighteen nights. Then Abu Ubayda ordered two ribs from it to be set
up. Then he commanded that a camel be ridden underneath them and it
did not touch them."

green things of the land and barley bread . Beware of wheat bread, for
you will not be grateful enough for it."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered the mosque
and found Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and Umar ibn al-Khattab there. He
questioned them and they said, "Hunger has driven us out." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"And hunger has brought me out." They went to Abu'l-Haytham ibn at-
Tayyihan al-Ansari. He ordered that some barley that was in the house
be prepared and he got up to slaughter a sheep for them. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Leave the
one with milk." He slaughtered a sheep for them and brought them sweet
water and it was hung on a palm-tree. Then they were brought the food
and ate it and drank the water. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, recited, "Then, on that day, you will
be asked concerning pleasure." (Sura 102 ayat 8).

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibn
al-Khattab was eating bread with ghee. He summoned one of the desert
people and he began to eat and follow the grease in the dish with a
morsel of bread. Umar said, "It is as if you were poor." He said, "By
Allah. I have not eaten ghee nor have I seen food with it since such-
and-such a time." Umar declared, "I shall not eat clarified butter
until people are given life again like they were first given life,"
(i.e. on the Day of Rising.)

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Halhala
that Humayd ibn Malik ibn Khu'haym said, "I was sitting with Abu
Hurayra on his land at al-Aqiq. Some people rode out from Madina to
call upon Abu Hurayra. He told me to go to his mother, sending his
greetings and asking her to prepare some food." Humayd continued, "She
set down three loaves on a plate and some oil and salt. Then she put
it on my head and I carried it to them. When I set it before them, Abu
Hurayra said, 'Allah is greater' and added, 'Praise be to Allah who
has filled us with bread after our food had previously been only water
and dates,' as the people did not touch any of the food.


When
they left, he said, 'O son of my brother, be good to your sheep and
wipe the mucus from them and clean their pen. Pray in their quarter
for they are among the animals of the Garden. By He in Whose Hand my
self is, a time is about to come upon people when a small group of
sheep will be more beloved to their owner than the house of Marwan . '

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that he
had heard al-Qasim ibn Muhammad say that a man came to Abdullah ibn
Abbas and said to him, "I have an orphan and he has camels. Can I
drink from the camels' milk?" Ibn Abbas said, "If you search for the
lost camels of his and treat the camels' mange and fill in the cracks
in their water basin and give it water on the day it drinks, then
drink it without doing harm to the suckling camels by milking them
excessively."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ لِي يَتِيمًا وَلَهُ إِبِلٌ أَفَأَشْرَبُ مِنْ لَبَنِ إِبِلِهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَبْغِي ضَالَّةَ إِبِلِهِ وَتَهْنَأُ جَرْبَاهَا وَتَلُطُّ حَوْضَهَا وَتَسْقِيهَا يَوْمَ وِرْدِهَا فَاشْرَبْ غَيْرَ مُضِرٍّ بِنَسْلٍ وَلاَ نَاهِكٍ فِي الْحَلْبِ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.35
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father never brought food or drink, nor even a remedy which he ate or
drank but that he said, "Praise be to Allah who has guided us and fed
us and given us to drink and blessed us. Allah is greater. O Allah! We
have found Your blessing with every evil, give us every good in the
morning and evening. We ask You for its completion and its gratitude.
There is no good except Your good. There is no god other than You, the
God of the salihun and the Lord of the Worlds. Praise be to Allah.
There is no god but Allah. What Allah wills. There is no power except
in Allah. O Allah! Bless us in what You have provided us with and
protect us from the punishment of the Fire!"

Muwatta 49.36
Yahya said that Malik was asked, "Can a woman eat with other than
her relative or slave?" Malik said, "There is no harm in that if it is
in a manner which is accepted for a woman to eat with men."


Malik said, "A woman sometimes eats with her husband and with others
he dines with or with her brother in the same way. It is disapproved
of for a woman to be alone with a man when there is no relationship
between them by blood, marriage or suckling that would prevent him
marrying her."

Muwatta 49.37

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَاللَّحْمَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ ضَرَاوَةً كَضَرَاوَةِ الْخَمْرِ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.38
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibn
al-Khattab said, "Beware of meat. It has addictiveness like the
addictiveness of wine."


Yahya related to me from Malik from
Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibn al-Khattab saw Jabir ibn Abdullah
carrying some meat. He said, "What is this?" He said, "Amir al-
muminin. We desired meat and I bought some meat for a dirham." Umar
said, "Does one of you want to fill his belly apart from his neighbour
or nephew? How can you overlook this ayat? 'You squandered your good
things in the life of this world and sought comfort in them.' " (Sura
46 ayat 20).

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، أَدْرَكَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمَعَهُ حِمَالُ لَحْمٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَرِمْنَا إِلَى اللَّحْمِ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِدِرْهَمٍ لَحْمًا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَمَا يُرِيدُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَطْوِيَ بَطْنَهُ عَنْ جَارِهِ أَوِ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ عَنْكُمْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهَا ‏}‏

Muwatta 49.39
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, used to wear a gold ring. Then the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stood up and threw it
away and said, "I will never wear it." He said, "So the people threw
away their rings."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَلْبَسُ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَبَذَهُ وَقَالَ ‏
"‏ لاَ أَلْبَسُهُ أَبَدًا ‏"

‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَبَذَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَهُمْ ‏.‏

Muwatta 49.40
Yahya related to me from Malik that Sadaqa ibn Yasar said, "I
asked Said ibn al-Musayyab about wearing a ring. He said, 'Wear it,
and tell people that I gave you that decision.' "

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ صَدَقَةَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ لُبْسِ الْخَاتَمِ، فَقَالَ الْبَسْهُ وَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ، أَنِّي أَفْتَيْتُكَ بِذَلِكَ ‏.‏

باب مَا جَاءَ فِي نَزْعِ الْمَعَالِيقِ وَالْجَرَسِ مِنَ الْعُنُقِ

Muwatta 49.42
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from
Abbad ibn Tamim that Abu Bashir al-Ansari told him that he was with
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on
one of his journeys. He related, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, sent a messenger." (Abdullah ibn Abi
Bakr said, (I think that he said it was while the people were in their
resting place.) He said, "Do not let a single-string necklace, or any
necklace, remain unbroken on the neck of a camel."


Yahya
said, "I heard Malik say, 'I think that was because of the evil eye.'
