Al-Muwatta' of Imam Malik - The Qibla - SunniPath Library - Hadith

The Prohibition against Relieving Oneself Facing the Qibla

1 Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that
Rafi' ibn Ishaq, a mawla of the family of ash-Shifa' who was known as the mawla
of Abu Talha, heard Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, one of the 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, having said, "When you go to
defecate or urinate, do not expose your genitals towards the qibla, and
do not put your back to it."

2 Yahya related to me from Malik from one of the Ansar that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade defecating or urinating
while facing the qibla.

 

14.2 Permission to Face the Qibla when Urinating or Defecating

3 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id from Muhammad ibn Yahya
ibn Habban from his paternal uncle, Wasi' ibn Hibban, 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 up on top of a house of ours and saw the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless hiim 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!"

Malik said that he meant someone who, when he prostrated, kept his body close
to the ground.

 

14.3 The Prohibition against Spitting towards the Qibla

4 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."

[cf Bukhari 398]

5 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 Prophet, may Allah bless and grant him peace, saw spittle,
or mucus or phlegm, on the wall of the qibla and scraped it off.

[cf Bukhari 399]

 

14.4 About the Qibla

6 Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar
that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "On one occasion when the people were praying
Subh
at 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 Ka'ba, so face it.' They had been facing Syria,
so they turned round and faced the Ka'ba."

[cf Bukhari 395]

7 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that Sa'iid ibn al-Musayyab
said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed
towards the Bayt al-Maqdis for sixteen months after arriving in Madina. Then the
qibla was changed two months before the battle of Badr."

8 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said,
"Any direction that is between East and West can be taken as a qibla if
the person praying is face-on to the House."

 

14.5 The Mosque of the Prophet

9 Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Rabah and 'Ubaydullah ibn Abi
'Abdullah Salman al-Agharr from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A prayer in this mosque of mine is
better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque, except the Masjid al-Haram
(in Makka)."

10 Yahya related to me from Malik from Khubayb ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman from Hafs
ibn 'Asim from Abu Hurayra or from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "What is between my house
and my minbar is one of the meadows of the Garden, and my mnbar is on my
watering-place (al-Hawd)."

11 Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from 'Abbad ibn
Tamim from 'Abdullah ibn Zayd al-Mazini that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "What is between my house and my minbar is
one of the meadows of the Garden."

 

14.6 Women Going Out to the Mosque

12 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'Do not forbid the female slaves of Allah from (going into) the
mosques of Allah.'"

[cf Bukhari 858]

13 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard from Busr ibn Sa'id that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "None of
you women should use perfume when you attend the 'Isha' prayer."

[In Muslim]

14 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that 'Atika bint Zayd
ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl, the wife of 'Umar al-Khattab, used to ask 'Umar ibn al-Khattab
for permission to go to the mosque. He would keep silent, so she would say, "By
Allah, I will go out, unless you forbid me," and he did not forbid her.

15 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id from 'Amra bint 'Abd
ar-Rahman that 'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "If the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, had seen what women do now, he would have forbidden them to go into the
mosques, just as the women of the tribe of Isra'il were forbidden."

Yahya ibn Sa'id said that he asked 'Amra, "Were the women of the tribe of
Isra'il forbidden to go into the mosques?" and she replied, "Yes."

Important note to learn and read quran online

 

Online Quran Tutor is the one who comes into mind when someone says to learn Holy Quran online or learning the Quran with the right pronunciation.
