Muwatta Imam Malik — Jihad

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stimulated people for jihad and mentioned the Garden. One of the Ansar was eating some dates in his hand, and said, "Am I so desirous of this world that I should sit until I finish them?" He threw aside what was in his hand and took his sword, and fought until he was slain

وحدثني عن مالك، عن يحيى بن سعيد، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رغب في الجهاد وذكر الجنة ورجل من الانصار ياكل تمرات في يده فقال اني لحريص على الدنيا ان جلست حتى افرغ منهن . فرمى ما في يده فحمل بسيفه فقاتل حتى قتل

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Muadh ibn Jabal said, "There are two military expeditions. There is one military expedition in which valuables are spent, the contributor is willing, the authorities are obeyed, and corruption is avoided. That military expedition is all good. There is a military expedition in which valuables are not spent, the contributor is not willing, the authorities are not obeyed, and corruption is not avoided. The one who fights in that military expedition does not return with reward

وحدثني عن مالك، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن معاذ بن جبل، انه قال الغزو غزوان فغزو تنفق فيه الكريمة ويياسر فيه الشريك ويطاع فيه ذو الامر ويجتنب فيه الفساد فذلك الغزو خير كله وغزو لا تنفق فيه الكريمة ولا يياسر فيه الشريك ولا يطاع فيه ذو الامر ولا يجتنب فيه الفساد فذلك الغزو لا يرجع صاحبه كفافا

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, "Blessing is in the forelocks of horses until the Day of Rising

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن نافع، عن عبد الله بن عمر، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " الخيل في نواصيها الخير الى يوم القيامة

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, held a race between horses which had been made lean by training, from al-Hafya to Thaniyatu-lWada. He held a race between horses which had not been made lean from the Thaniya (a mountain pass near Madina) to the mosque of the Banu Zurayq. Abdullah ibn Umar was among those who raced them

وحدثني عن مالك، عن نافع، عن عبد الله بن عمر، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سابق بين الخيل التي قد اضمرت من الحفياء وكان امدها ثنية الوداع وسابق بين الخيل التي لم تضمر من الثنية الى مسجد بني زريق وان عبد الله بن عمر كان ممن سابق بها

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, "There is no harm in placing stakes on horses if a third horse enters it. The winner takes the stake, and there is no fine against the loser

وحدثني عن مالك، عن يحيى بن سعيد، انه سمع سعيد بن المسيب، يقول ليس برهان الخيل باس اذا دخل فيها محلل فان سبق اخذ السبق وان سبق لم يكن عليه شىء

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was seen wiping the face of his horse with his cloak. He was questioned about it and said, "I was reproached in the night about horses." i.e. not taking care of them

وحدثني عن مالك، عن يحيى بن سعيد، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ريي وهو يمسح وجه فرسه بردايه فسيل عن ذلك فقال " اني عوتبت الليلة في الخيل

Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd at-Tawil from Anas ibn Malik that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out to Khaybar, he arrived there at night, and when he came upon a people by night, he did not attack until morning. In the morning, the jews came out with their spades and baskets. When they saw him, they said, "Muhammad! By Allah, Muhammad and his army!" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said "Allah is greater! Khaybar is destroyed. When we come to a people, it is an evil morning for those who have been warned

وحدثني عن مالك، عن حميد الطويل، عن انس بن مالك، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين خرج الى خيبر اتاها ليلا وكان اذا اتى قوما بليل لم يغر حتى يصبح فخرجت يهود بمساحيهم ومكاتلهم فلما راوه قالوا محمد والله محمد والخميس . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " الله اكبر خربت خيبر انا اذا نزلنا بساحة قوم فساء صباح المنذرين

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Humayd ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever hands over two of any type of property in the way of Allah is called to the Garden, with the words 'O slave of Allah! This is good!' Whoever is among the people of prayer, is called from the gate of prayer. Whoever is among the people of jihad is called from the gate of jihad. Whoever is among the people of sadaqa, is called from the gate of sadaqa. Whoever is among the people of fasting, is called from the gate of the well- watered. (Bab ar-Rayyan)." Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said, "Messenger of Allah! Is it absolutely necessary that one be called from one of these gates? Can someone be called from all of these gates?" He said, "Yes, and I hope you are among them ." 21.20 Acquisition of the Land of Those who Surrender from the People of Dhimma

وحدثني عن مالك، عن ابن شهاب، عن حميد بن عبد الرحمن بن عوف، عن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " من انفق زوجين في سبيل الله نودي في الجنة يا عبد الله هذا خير فمن كان من اهل الصلاة دعي من باب الصلاة ومن كان من اهل الجهاد دعي من باب الجهاد ومن كان من اهل الصدقة دعي من باب الصدقة ومن كان من اهل الصيام دعي من باب الريان " . فقال ابو بكر الصديق يا رسول الله ما على من يدعى من هذه الابواب من ضرورة فهل يدعى احد من هذه الابواب كلها قال " نعم وارجو ان تكون منهم

Malik was asked whether, when an imam had accepted jizya from a people and they gave it, he thought that the land of one of them who surrendered belonged to him or whether his land and property belonged to the Muslims. Malik said, "That varies. As for the people of peace, if one of them surrenders, then he is entitled to his land and property. As for the people of force who use force, if one of them surrenders, his land and property belong to the Muslims because the people of force are overcome in their towns, and it becomes booty for the Muslims. As for the people of peace, their property and selves are protected so that they make peace for them. Only what they have made peace for is obliged of them." Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Sasaca that he had heard that Amr ibn al-Jamuh al-Ansari and Abdullah ibn Umar al-Ansari, both of the tribe of Banu Salami, had their grave uncovered by a flood. Their grave was part of what was left after the flood. They were in the same grave, and they were among those martyred at Uhud. They were dug up so that they might be moved. They were found unchanged. It was as if they had died only the day before. One of them had been wounded, and he had put his hand over his wound and had been buried like that. His hand was pulled away from his wound and released, and it returned to where it had been. It was forty-six years between Uhud and the day they were dug up. Malik said, "There is no harm in burying two or three men in the same grave due to necessity. The oldest one is put next to the qibla

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن عبد الرحمن بن ابي صعصعة، انه بلغه ان عمرو بن الجموح، وعبد الله بن عمرو الانصاريين، ثم السلميين كانا قد حفر السيل قبرهما وكان قبرهما مما يلي السيل وكانا في قبر واحد وهما ممن استشهد يوم احد فحفر عنهما ليغيرا من مكانهما فوجدا لم يتغيرا كانهما ماتا بالامس وكان احدهما قد جرح فوضع يده على جرحه فدفن وهو كذلك فاميطت يده عن جرحه ثم ارسلت فرجعت كما كانت وكان بين احد وبين يوم حفر عنهما ست واربعون سنة . قال مالك لا باس ان يدفن الرجلان والثلاثة في قبر واحد من ضرورة ويجعل الاكبر مما يلي القبلة

Yahya related to me from Malik that Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman said, "Property was sent to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq from Bahrayn. He said, 'If someone had a promise or a pledge with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, let him come to me.' So Jabir ibn Abdullah came to him, and he gave him three times as much of it as would fill both hands

حدثني عن مالك، عن ربيعة بن ابي عبد الرحمن، انه قال قدم على ابي بكر الصديق مال من البحرين فقال من كان له عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واى او عدة فلياتني فجاءه جابر بن عبد الله فحفن له ثلاث حفنات
