Asking Permission to Enter
1 Malik related to me from Safwan ibn Sulaym from 'Ata' ibn Yasar that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was questioned by a
man who said, "Messenger of Allah, should I ask permission of my mother to
enter?" He said, "Yes." The man said, "I live with her in the house." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Ask her
permission." The man said, "I am her servant." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Ask her permission. Do you want to see her
naked?" He said, "No." He said, "Then ask her permission."
2 Malik related to me from a reliable source of his from Bukayr ibn 'Abdullah
ibn al-Ashajj from Basr ibn Sa'id from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'One asks permission three times. If you are given permission, then enter. If
not, go away.' "
3 Malik related to me from Rabi'a ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman from another of the
scholars of that time that Abu Musa al-Ash'ari came and asked permission from 'Umar
ibn al-Khattab to enter. He asked permission three times and then went away. 'Umar
ibn al-Khattab sent after him and said, "What is wrong with you? Why did you not
come in?" Abu Musa said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, say, 'Ask permission to enter three times. If you are given
permission, then enter. If not, go away.'"
'Umar said, "Who can confirm this? If you do not bring me someone to confirm,
I will do such-and-such to you."
Abu Musa went out until he came to an assembly in the mosque which was called
the Majlis al-Ansar. He said, "I told 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that I heard the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Ask
permission three times. If you are given permission, then enter. If not, go
away.' 'Umar said, 'If you do not bring me someone who can confirm it, I will do
such-and-such to you.' If any of you have heard that, let him come with me."
They said to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, "Go with him." Abu Sa'id was the youngest of
them. He went with him and told 'Umar ibn al-Khattab about that.
'Umar ibn al-Khattab said to Abu Musa, "I did not suspect you, but I feared
lest people forge sayings of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace."
[Bukhari 1956 and Muslim]
54.2 Blessing the Person who Sneezes
4 Malik related to me from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from his father that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If a man
sneezes, invoke a blessing on him. Then if he sneezes, invoke a blessing on him.
Then if he sneezes, invoke a blessing on him. Then if he sneezes again, say,
'You have a cold.'" 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said, "I don't know whether it was
after the third or the fourth."
[in Abu Dawud]
5 Malik related to me from Nafi' that when 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar sneezed and
someone said to him, "May Allah have mercy on you (yarhamuka'llah)," he
said, "May Allah have mercy on us and you and forgive us and you (yarhamuna'llah
wa yaghfirlana wa lakum)."
54.3 Pictures and Images
6 Malik related to me from Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that Rafi' ibn
Ishaq, the mawla of ash-Shifa', informed him that he and 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talha
had gone to visit Abu Sa'id al-Khudri while he was ill. Abu Sa'id said to them,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, informed us,
'The angels do not enter a house which contains pictures or images.'"
Ishaq was not sure which of them Abu Sa'id said.
7 Malik related to me from Abu'n-Nasr that 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Utba
ibn Mas'ud went to visit Abu Talha al-Ansari when he was ill. He said, "I found
Sahl ibn Hunayf with him. Abu Talha summoned a man and removed a rug which was
under him. Sahl ibn Hunayf asked him, 'Why did you remove it?' He replied,
'Because there were pictures on it and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said you know what about them,' Sahl said, 'Didn't the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "except for
markings on a garment"?' (A rug was considered to be a garment.) He said, 'Yes,
but it is more pleasing to me.'"
8 Malik related to me from Nafi' from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from 'A'isha, the
wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that she bought a
cushion which had pictures on it. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, saw it, he stopped at the door and did not enter. She
recognised disapproval on his face and said, "Messenger of Allah, I turn in
repentance to Allah and His Messenger. What have I done wrong?" The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "What is the meaning of
this cushion?" She said, "I bought it for you to sit and recline on." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Those who
make such pictures will be punished on the Day of Rising. They will be told,
'Bring to life what you have created.'" Then he added, "The angels do not enter
a house in which there are pictures."
[Bukhari 1999; and in Muslim]
54.4 Eating Lizards
9 Malik related to me from 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman
ibn Abi Sa'sa'a that Sulayman ibn Yasar said that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered the house of Maymuna bint al-Harith
and there was a lizard in which there were eggs to eat. 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas and
Khalid ibn al-Walid were with him. He said, "From where did you get this?" She
replied, "My sister, Huzayla bint al-Harith, gave it to me." He then told
'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas and Khalid ibn al-Walid to eat. They said, "Won't you eat,
Messenger of Allah?" He said, "There are those who visit me from Allah." Maymuna
said, "Messenger of Allah, shall we give you some milk we have to drink?" He
replied, "Yes." When he drank, he said, "From where did you get this?" She said,
"My sister, Huzayla, gave it to me." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, asked, "Do you see your slave-girl whom you asked me for
permission to free? Give her to your sister and bring her to your maternal
relatives to take care of her. That is better for you."
10 Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Abu Umama ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf
from 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas that Khalid ibn al-Walid ibn al-Mughira entered the
house of Maymuna, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
he was brought a roasted lizard. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, stretched out his hand toward it. One of the women who was in
Maymuna's house said, "Tell the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, what he is about to eat." Someone said, "It is a lizard,
Muhammad." He drew back his hand. Khalid asked, "Is it haram, Messenger of
Allah?" He said, "No, but there were none in my father's land and I find that I
dislike them."
Khalid added, "I chewed and ate it while the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was looking."
[Bukhari and Muslim]
11 Malik related to me from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that
a man called the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
and said, "Messenger of Allah, what do you think about lizards?" The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I do not eat them and
I do not forbid them."
[In at-Tirmidhi]
54.5 Concerning Dogs
12 Malik related to me from Yazid ibn Khusayfa that as-Sa'ib ibn Yazid
informed him that he heard Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr, who was from the Azd Shanu'a
tribe and among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, speaking with some people who were at the door of the
mosque. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, say, 'If anyone acquires a dog which he does not use as a sheepdog or
for hunting, a qirat will be deducted from the reward of his good deeds each
day." He was asked, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace?" He said, "Yes, by the Lord of this mosque."
[Bukhari 2198; and in Muslim]
13 Malik related to me from Nafi' from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever acquires a dog
other than a sheepdog or hunting dog, will have two qirats deducted from the
reward of his good actions every day."
[Bukhari and Muslim]
14 Malik related to me from Nafi' from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered
dogs to be killed.
[cf Bukhari 3145]
54.6 Concerning Sheep
15 Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-A'raj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "The main source of disbelief (kufr) will be towards the
east. Boasting and pride is among people who have horses and camels. The
loud-mouthed people are the people of the tents (the Bedouins). Tranquillity is
with the people who have sheep."
[cf Bukhari 3125]
16 Malik related to me from 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Abd
ar-Rahman ibn Sa'sa'a from his father from 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn Sa'sa'a from his
father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "It will soon happen that the best property of a Muslim will be sheep
which he takes to the peaks of the mountains and the valleys, fleeing with his
deen from trials."
[cf Bukhari 3124]
17 Malik related to me from Nafi' from Ibn 'Umar that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No one
should milk someone else's cow without permission. Would any of you like someone
to come to his apartment, break into his larder and take his food? The udders of
cows guard their food for their owners, so no one should milk someone else's cow
without his permission."
[cf Bukhari 2303]
18 Malik related to me that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There is no Prophet who has not
herded sheep," and someone asked, "You included, Messenger of Allah?" He said,
"Myself included."
[cf Bukhari 2143]
54.7 Mice Falling into Clarified Butter, and giving Precedence to Food
over the Prayer
19 Malik related to me from Nafi' that one time as Ibn 'Umar was served his
evening meal, he heard the recitation of the Imam while he was in his house and
he did not hurry from his food until he had finished what he needed.
20 Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn
'Utba ibn Mas'ud from 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas from Maymuna, 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 asked about a mouse falling into
clarified butter. He said, "Remove it and throw away what is around it."
[In Bukhari]
54.8 Guarding against Ill Luck
21 Malik related to me from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar from Sahl ibn Sa'd as-Sa'idi
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If
it exists, it is in a horse, a woman, and a house" meaning ill luck.
[cf Bukhari 2704]
22 Malik related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Hamza and Salim, the
sons of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Ill luck is in a house, a
woman and a horse."
[In Bukhari]
23 Malik related to me that Yahya ibn Sa'id said, "A woman came to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said,
'Messenger of Allah, we moved into a house when our number was great and our
wealth was abundant. Now our number has dwindled and the wealth has gone.' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Leave it as
blameworthy.' "
[In Abu Dawud]
54.9 Names that are Disliked
24 Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Sa'id that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked about a milk camel about to be
milked, "Who is going to milk this camel?" A man stood up. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked, "What is your name?" The
man said, "Murra (bitterness)." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to him, "Sit down." Then he said, "Who will milk this
one?" A man stood up and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, asked, "What is your name?" He said, "Harb (war)." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Sit down." Then he said,
"Who will milk this camel?" A man stood up and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "What is your name?" The man said,
"Ya'ish (he lives)." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, told him, "Milk!"
25 Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Sa'id that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab asked a
man what his name was. He said, "Jamra (live coals)." "The son of whom?" he
asked. He replied, "Ibn Shihab (meteor, flame)." "From whom?" He asked. He said,
"From al-Huraqa (burning)." He asked, "Where do you live?" He replied, "At Harra
an-Nar (lava-field of the fire)." "At which one of them?" he asked?" He said,
"At Dhati Ladha (one with flames)." 'Umar said, "Go and look to your family -
they have been burned."
Yahya added, "It was as 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him,
said."
54.10 Cupping and the Reward of the Cupper
26 Malik related to me from Humayd at-Tawil that Anas ibn Malik said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was cupped. Abu
Tayba cupped him, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, ordered him to be given a sa' of dates and ordered his family to
lessen what he paid them for his kitaba or kharaj."
[cf Bukhari 1996]
27 Malik related to me that he heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "If there is a remedy that will reach the
disease, then cupping will reach it."
28 Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Ibn Muhayyisa al-Ansari, one of
the Banu Haritha, that he asked permission from the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, to give payment for cupping, and he forbade
him to do so. He continued to ask and seek permission until he said, "Feed the
ones who drive your water-carrying camels" meaning "your slaves."
[cf at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah]
54.11 Concerning the East
29 Malik related to me from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar that
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, pointing at the east and saying, 'The cause of dissension
(fitna) is there. The cause of dissension is there, from where the helpers of
Shaytan arise."
[cf Bukhari 3105]
30 Malik related to me that he heard that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wanted to go
to Iraq, and Ka'b al-Ahbar said to him, "Do not go there, Amir al-Muminin.
Nine-tenths of sorcery is there and it is the place of rebellious jinn and the
disease which the doctors are unable to cure."
54.12 Killing Snakes and What is Said about Them
31 Malik related to me from Nafi' from Abu Lubaba that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade killing snakes which
were in houses.
32 Malik related to me from Nafi' from Sa'iba, the female
mawla of 'A'isha, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, forbade killing the snakes which were in the houses except those with two
white stripes on their back and two short ones. They made one go blind and
caused miscarriages in women.
[cf Bukhari 3132]
33 Malik related to me from Sayfi, the mawla of Ibn Aflah, that
Abu's-Sa'ib, the mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra, said, "I went to Abu Sa'id
al-Khudri and found him praying. I sat to wait for him until he finished the
prayer. I heard a movement under a bed in his room, and it was a snake. I got up
to kill it and Abu Sa'id gestured for me to sit down. When he had finished, he
pointed to a room in the house and said, 'Do you see this room?' I replied,
'Yes.' He said, 'There was a young boy in who had just got married. He went with
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to al-Khandaq
(the Ditch which the Muslims dug in the fifth year of the Hijra to defend Madina
against the Quraysh and their allies). While he was there, the youth came asked
asked his permission, saying, "Messenger of Allah, give me permission to return
to my family." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
gave him permission and said, "Take your weapons with you, for I fear the Banu
Qurayza tribe.* They may harm you."
'The youth went to his family and found his wife standing between the two
doors. He lifted his spear to stab her as jealousy had been aroused in him. She
said, "Don't be hasty before you have gone in and seen what is in your house."
He entered and found a snake coiled up on his bed. He transfixed it with his
spear and then went out with it and set it upright in the house. The snake
stirred on the end of the spear and the youth fell dead. No one knew which of
them had died first, the snake or the youth. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was told about that and he said, "There are jinn
in Madina who have become Muslim. When you see one of them, call out to it for
three days. If it appears after that, then kill it, for it is a shaytan."'"
[In Muslim]
* One of the Jewish tribes of Madina, nominally allied to the Muslims, but
who in fact at this time went over to the enemy, exposing the Muslims to a very
desperate situation. However, a wind came up from the sea and blew bitterly for
three days and nights. Tents were blown down and fires could not be lit, and the
Quraysh and their allies were completely dismayed, and retreated in shambles.
The Banu Quraydha made a vain attempt to blockade themselves from the wrath of
the Muslims, but were quickly forced to capitulate. They negotiated that their
fate should be decided by one of their allies who had become Muslim, but the
man, from whom they had expected leniency, ordered that all the men be put to
death and the women and children be made slaves.
54.13 What to Say on Journeys
34 Malik related to me that he heard that when the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, set foot in the stirrup intending to
travel, he would say, "In the name of Allah. O Allah! You are my Companion in
the journey and the Khalif of my family. O Allah! Spread out the earth for us
and make the journey easy for us. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the
hardship of the journey and from returning to sorrow and a distressing sight
regarding property and family."
Bismillah. Allahumma anta as-Sahibu fi's-safari wa'l-khalifatu fi'l-ahl.
Allahumma' zwilana'l-arda wa hawwin 'alayna's-safari wa min kabati'l-munqalabi
wa min su'i'l-mandhuri fi'l-mali wa'l-ahl."
[In Muslim]
Malik related to me from a reliable source of his from Ya'qub ibn 'Abdullah
al-Ashajj from Busr ibn Sa'id from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas from Khawla bint Hakim
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Whoever dismounts to rest in a place should say, 'I seek refuge with the
complete words of Allah from the evil of what He created (a'udhu bi
kalimati'llahi't-tammati min sharri ma khalaq)', and nothing will harm him
until he remounts."
[In Muslim]
54.14 Travelling Alone in the Case of Men and Women
35 Malik related to me from 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn Harmala from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb
from his father from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "One rider is a shaytan. Two riders are two
shaytans, and three are a riding party."
[In Abu Dawud]
36 Malik related to me from 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn Harmala that Sa'id ibn
al-Musayyab heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, "Shaytan concerns himself with one and two. When there are three, he
does not concern himself with them."
37 Malik related to me from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi from Abu Hurayra
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It
is not halal for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel the
distance of a day and a night without a man who is her mahram."
[cf Bukhari 1036]
54.15 How to Behave on Journeys
38 Malik related to me from Abu 'Ubayd, the mawla of Sulayman ibn 'Abd
al-Malik from Khalid ibn Ma'dan who attributed it to the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, is a kind and
loves kindness. Kindness pleases Him and He helps you with kindness as long as
it is not misplaced. When you ride dumb beasts, stop them in their
stopping-places, and quicken their pace when the land is barren. Travel by
night, because the land is travelled faster at night than it is during the day.
Beware of pitching tents on the road for it is the path of animals and the abode
of snakes."
[In Muslim]
39 Malik related to me from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr, from Abu
Salih from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Travelling is a portion of the torment. It denies you
your sleep, food and drink. When you have accomplished your purpose, you should
hurry back to your family."
[cf Bukhari 1710]
54.16 The Command to be Kind to Slaves
40 Malik related to me that he heard that Abu Hurayra said that the Messenger
of Allllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A slave should have
normal food and clothing, and he is only obliged to do such work as he is
capable of doing."
[In Muslim]
41 Malik related to me that he heard that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab went to the
villages every Saturday. If he found a slave doing work which he was not capable
of doing, he lightened it for him.
42 Malik related to me from his paternal uncle, Abu Suhayl ibn Malik, that
his father heard 'Uthman ibn 'Affan say in a khutba, "Do not oblige a
slave-girl to earn money unless she has a skill. If you oblige her to do that,
she will earn money by prostitution. Do not oblige a child to earn money. If he
does not find it, he will steal. Pardon since Allah will pardon you, and you
must feed them good food."
54.17 The Slave and his Reward
43 Malik related to me from Nafi' from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"When a slave gives good counsel to his master and worships Allah correctly, he
has his reward twice over."
[cf Bukhari 2408]
44 Malik related to me that he heard that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab saw a female
slave belonging to 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. She was dressed in the
way that a free woman dresses. He went to his daughter, Hafsa, and said, "Didn't
I see your brother's slave-girl dressed in the way that a free woman dresses
walking among the people and causing trouble?" 'Umar disapproved of that.
