Muwatta Imam Malik — Purity

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Abi Hakim from Sulayman ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Khattab went out early in the morning to his land in al-Juruf and found semen on his garment. He said, "I have been tried with wet dreams since I have been entrusted with governing the people." He did ghusl and washed his garment of what he saw of the semen, and then prayed after the sun had risen

وحدثني عن مالك، عن اسماعيل بن ابي حكيم، عن سليمان بن يسار، ان عمر بن الخطاب، غدا الى ارضه بالجرف فوجد في ثوبه احتلاما فقال لقد ابتليت بالاحتلام منذ وليت امر الناس . فاغتسل وغسل ما راى في ثوبه من الاحتلام ثم صلى بعد ان طلعت الشمس

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Khattab led the people in the subh prayer and then went out to his land in Juruf and found semen on his clothes. He said, "Since we have been eating rich meat our veins have become fulsome." He did ghusl, washed the semen from his clothing, and did his prayer again

وحدثني عن مالك، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن سليمان بن يسار، ان عمر بن الخطاب، صلى بالناس الصبح ثم غدا الى ارضه بالجرف فوجد في ثوبه احتلاما فقال انا لما اصبنا الودك لانت العروق . فاغتسل وغسل الاحتلام من ثوبه وعاد لصلاته

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father fromYahyaibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Ha ib that he had set off for Mumra with Umar ibn al-Khattab in a party of riders, among whom was Amr ibn al-As. Umar ibn al-Khattab dismounted for a rest late at night on a certain road near a certain oasis. Umar had a wet dream when it was almost dawn and there was no water among the riding party. He rode until he came to some water and then he began to wash off what he saw of the semen until it had gone. Amr ibn al-As said to him, "It is morning and there are clothes with us, so allow your garment to be washed. ''Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "I am surprised at you, Amr ibn al-As! Even if you could find clothes, would everybody be able to find them? By Allah, if I were to do it, it would become a sunna. No, I wash what I see, and I sprinkle with water what I do not see." Malik spoke about a man who found traces of a wet dream on his clothes and did not know when it had occurred and did not remember anything he had seen in his sleep. He said, "Let the intention of his ghusl be from the time when he last slept, and if he has prayed since that last sleep he should repeat it. This is because often a man has a wet dream and sees nothing, and often he sees something but does not have an emission. But, if he finds liquid on his garment he must do ghusl. This is because Umar repeated what he had prayed after the time he had last slept and not what was before it

وحدثني عن مالك، عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، عن يحيى بن عبد الرحمن بن حاطب، انه اعتمر مع عمر بن الخطاب في ركب فيهم عمرو بن العاص وان عمر بن الخطاب عرس ببعض الطريق قريبا من بعض المياه فاحتلم عمر وقد كاد ان يصبح فلم يجد مع الركب ماء فركب حتى جاء الماء فجعل يغسل ما راى من ذلك الاحتلام حتى اسفر فقال له عمرو بن العاص اصبحت ومعنا ثياب فدع ثوبك يغسل . فقال عمر بن الخطاب واعجبا لك يا عمرو بن العاص لين كنت تجد ثيابا افكل الناس يجد ثيابا والله لو فعلتها لكانت سنة بل اغسل ما رايت وانضح ما لم ار . قال مالك في رجل وجد في ثوبه اثر احتلام ولا يدري متى كان ولا يذكر شييا راى في منامه قال ليغتسل من احدث نوم نامه فان كان صلى بعد ذلك النوم فليعد ما كان صلى بعد ذلك النوم من اجل ان الرجل ربما احتلم ولا يرى شييا ويرى ولا يحتلم فاذا وجد في ثوبه ماء فعليه الغسل وذلك ان عمر اعاد ما كان صلى لاخر نوم نامه ولم يعد ما كان قبله

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az- Zubayr that Umm Sulayman said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Should a woman do ghusl when she experiences the same as a man in her sleep?" The Messenger of Al lah said to her, "Yes, she should do ghusl. "A'isha said to her, "Shame on you! Does a woman see that?" (i.e. a liquid.) The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her, "May your right hand be full of dust. From where does family resemblance come?

حدثني عن مالك، عن ابن شهاب، عن عروة بن الزبير، ان ام سليم، قالت لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم المراة ترى في المنام مثل ما يرى الرجل اتغتسل فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " نعم فلتغتسل " . فقالت لها عايشة اف لك وهل ترى ذلك المراة فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " تربت يمينك ومن اين يكون الشبه

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father from Zaynab bint Abi Salama that Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Umm Salama, the wife of Abu Talha al-Ansari, came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah! Allah is not ashamed of the truth-does a woman have to do ghusl if she has had an erotic dream?' He said, 'Yes, if she sees any liquid

حدثني عن مالك، عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، عن زينب بنت ابي سلمة، عن ام سلمة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم انها قالت جاءت ام سليم امراة ابي طلحة الانصاري الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت يا رسول الله ان الله لا يستحيي من الحق هل على المراة من غسل اذا هي احتلمت فقال " نعم اذا رات الماء

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "There is no harm in doing ghusl with water that has been used by one's wife as long as she is not menstruating or in a state of major ritual impurity (junub)

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن نافع، ان عبد الله بن عمر، كان يقول لا باس ان يغتسل بفضل المراة ما لم تكن حايضا او جنبا

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to sweat in a garment while he was junub and then pray with it on

وحدثني عن مالك، عن نافع، ان عبد الله بن عمر، كان يعرق في الثوب وهو جنب ثم يصلي فيه

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that the slave girls of Abdullah ibn Umar used to wash his feet and bring him a mat of palm leaves while they were menstruating. Malik was asked whether a man who had women and slavegirlscould have intercourse with all of them before he did ghusl. He said, "There is no harm in a man having intercourse with two of his slave girls before he does ghusl. It is disapproved of, however, to go to a freewoman on another's day. There is no harm in making love first to one slave girl and then to another when one is junub." Malik was asked about a man who was junub and water was put down for him to do ghusl with.Then he forgot and put his finger into it to find out whether it was hot or cold. Malik said, "If no filth has soiled his fingers, I do not consider that that makes the water impure

وحدثني عن مالك، عن نافع، ان عبد الله بن عمر، كان يغسل جواريه رجليه ويعطينه الخمرة وهن حيض . وسيل مالك عن رجل له نسوة وجواري هل يطوهن جميعا قبل ان يغتسل فقال لا باس بان يصيب الرجل جاريتيه قبل ان يغتسل فاما النساء الحراير فيكره ان يصيب الرجل المراة الحرة في يوم الاخرى فاما ان يصيب الجارية ثم يصيب الاخرى وهو جنب فلا باس بذلك . وسيل مالك عن رجل جنب وضع له ماء يغتسل به فسها فادخل اصبعه فيه ليعرف حر الماء من برده . قال مالك ان لم يكن اصاب اصبعه اذى فلا ارى ذلك ينجس عليه الماء

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman ibn al-Qasim from his father that A'isha umm al-muminin said, "We went out on a journey with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and, when we came to Bayda' or Dhat al-Jaysh, a necklace of mine broke. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stopped to look for it and the people stopped with him. There was no water nearby and the people were not carrying any with them, so they came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, 'Don't you see what A'isha has done? She has made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the people stop when there is no water nearby and they are not carrying any with them.' " A'isha continued, "Abu Bakr came and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had fallen asleep with his head on my thigh . Abu Bakr said, 'You have made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the people stop when there is no water nearby and they are not carrying any with them ' " She continued, "Abu Bakr remonstrated with me and said whatever Allah willed him to say, and began to poke me in the waist. The only thing that stopped me from moving was that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had his head on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, slept until morning found him with no water. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, sent down the ayat of tayammum and so they did tayammum. Usayd ibn Hudayr said, 'This is not the first baraka from you, O family of Abu Bakr.'" A'isha added, "We roused the camel I had been on and found the necklace under it." Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum for one prayer should do tayammum when the time of the next prayer came or whether the first tayammum was enough. He said, "No, he does tayammum for every prayer, because he has to look for water for every prayer. If he looks for it and does not find it then he does tayammum." Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum could lead others in prayer if they were in wudu. He said, "I prefer that someone else should lead them. However, I see no harm in it if he does lead them in prayer." Yahya said that Malik said that a man who did tayammum because he could not find any water, and then stood and said the takbir and entered into the prayer, and then someone came with some water, did not stop his prayer but completed it with tayammum and did wudu for future prayers. Yahya said that Malik said, "Whoever rises for prayer and does not find water and so does what Allah has ordered him to do of tayammum has obeyed Allah. Someone who does find water is neither purer than him nor more perfect in prayer, because both have been commanded and each does as Allah has commanded. What Allah has commanded as far as wudu is concerned is for the one who finds water, and tayammum is for the one who does not find water before he enters into the prayer." Malik said that a man who was in a state of major ritual impurity could do tayammum and read his portion of Qur'an and do voluntary prayers as long as he did not find any water. This applied only to circumstances in which it was allowable to pray with tayammum

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar and he were approaching Juruf. When they got to Mirbad, Abdullah got down and did tayammum with some good earth. He wiped his face, and his arms to the elbows, and then prayed

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن نافع، انه اقبل هو وعبد الله بن عمر من الجرف حتى اذا كانا بالمربد نزل عبد الله فتيمم صعيدا طيبا فمسح وجهه ويديه الى المرفقين ثم صلى

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to do tayammum up to his elbows. Malik was asked about how tayammum was done and what parts were covered and he said, "Strike the ground once for the face and once for the arms and wipe them to the elbows

وحدثني عن مالك، عن نافع، ان عبد الله بن عمر، كان يتيمم الى المرفقين . وسيل مالك كيف التيمم واين يبلغ به فقال يضرب ضربة للوجه وضربة لليدين ويمسحهما الى المرفقين

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman ibn Harmala that a man asked Said ibn al-Musayyab about what a man who was junub and had done tayammum should do when he came across water. Said said, "When he comes across water he must do ghusl for what comes after." Malik said about some one who had a wet dream while he was on a journey and there was only enough water for wudu and he was not thirsty and so he did not need to use it for that, "Let him wash his genitals, and whatever the semen has fallen on, with the water and then he does tayammum with good earth as Allah has ordered him." Malik was asked whether a man who was junub and wished to do tayammum but could only find salty earth could do tayammum with that earth, and whether it was disapproved of to pray on salty earth. He said, "There is no harm in praying on salty earth or in using it to do tayammum, because Allah the Blessed and Exalted has said, '...and do tayammum with good earth.' One is purified by tayammum with everything that is earth, whether it is salty or otherwise

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن عبد الرحمن بن حرملة، ان رجلا، سال سعيد بن المسيب عن الرجل الجنب، يتيمم ثم يدرك الماء فقال سعيد اذا ادرك الماء فعليه الغسل لما يستقبل . قال مالك فيمن احتلم وهو في سفر ولا يقدر من الماء الا على قدر الوضوء وهو لا يعطش حتى ياتي الماء قال يغسل بذلك فرجه وما اصابه من ذلك الاذى ثم يتيمم صعيدا طيبا كما امره الله . وسيل مالك عن رجل جنب اراد ان يتيمم فلم يجد ترابا الا تراب سبخة هل يتيمم بالسباخ وهل تكره الصلاة في السباخ قال مالك لا باس بالصلاة في السباخ والتيمم منها لان الله تبارك وتعالى قال {فتيمموا صعيدا طيبا} فكل ما كان صعيدا فهو يتيمم به سباخا كان او غيره

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that a man questioned the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying, "What is permitted me from my wife when she is menstruating?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Let her wrap her waist-wrapper round herself tightly, and then what is above that is your concern

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن زيد بن اسلم، ان رجلا، سال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ما يحل لي من امراتي وهي حايض فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لتشد عليها ازارها ثم شانك باعلاها

Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman that on one occasion A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sleeping with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in one garment, when suddenly she jumped up sharply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her, "What's the matter with you? Are you losing blood?", meaning menstruating. She said, "Yes." He said, "Wrap your waist-wrapper tightly about you, and return to your sleeping- place

وحدثني عن مالك، عن ربيعة بن ابي عبد الرحمن، ان عايشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كانت مضطجعة مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في ثوب واحد وانها قد وثبت وثبة شديدة فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ما لك لعلك نفست " . يعني الحيضة . فقالت نعم . قال " شدي على نفسك ازارك ثم عودي الى مضجعك

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar sent a question to A'isha asking her, "May a man fondle his wife when she is menstruating?" She replied, "Let her wrap her waist-wrapper around her lower part and then he may fondle her if he wishes

وحدثني عن مالك، عن نافع، ان عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عمر، ارسل الى عايشة يسالها هل يباشر الرجل امراته وهي حايض فقالت لتشد ازارها على اسفلها ثم يباشرها ان شاء

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Salim ibn Abdullah and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked whether the husband of a menstruating woman could have sexual intercourse with her when she saw that she was pure but before she had had a ghusl. They said, "No, not until she has had a ghusl

وحدثني عن مالك، انه بلغه ان سالم بن عبد الله، وسليمان بن يسار، سيلا عن الحايض، هل يصيبها زوجها اذا رات الطهر قبل ان تغتسل فقالا لا حتى تغتسل

Yahya related to me from Malik from AIqama ibn Abi AIqama that his mother, the mawla of A'isha, umm al-muminin, said, "Women used to send little boxes to A'isha, umm al-muminin, with a piece of cotton cloth in each one on which was yellowness from menstrual blood, asking her about the prayer. She said to them, 'Do not be hasty until you see a white discharge." By that she meant purity from menses

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن علقمة بن ابي علقمة، عن امه، مولاة عايشة ام المومنين انها قالت كان النساء يبعثن الى عايشة ام المومنين بالدرجة فيها الكرسف فيه الصفرة من دم الحيضة يسالنها عن الصلاة فتقول لهن لا تعجلن حتى ترين القصة البيضاء . تريد بذلك الطهر من الحيضة

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from his paternal aunt from the daughter of Zayd ibn Thabit that she had heard that women used to ask for lamps in the middle of the night to check their purity. She would criticise them for this saying, "Women never used to do this," i.e. in the time of the companions. Malik was asked whether a woman whose period had finished could do tayammum to purify herself if she could not find waterand he said, "Yes, because she is like some one in a state of major ritual impurity, who, if he cannot find water, does tayammum

وحدثني عن مالك، عن عبد الله بن ابي بكر، عن عمته، عن ابنة زيد بن ثابت، انه بلغها ان نساء، كن يدعون بالمصابيح من جوف الليل ينظرن الى الطهر فكانت تعيب ذلك عليهن وتقول ما كان النساء يصنعن هذا . وسيل مالك عن الحايض تطهر فلا تجد ماء هل تتيمم قال نعم لتتيمم فان مثلها مثل الجنب اذا لم يجد ماء تيمم

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said that a pregnant woman who noticed bleeding left off from prayer

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، انه بلغه ان عايشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت في المراة الحامل ترى الدم انها تدع الصلاة

Yahya related to me from Malik that he asked Ibn Shihab about a pregnant woman who noticed bleeding. Ibn Shihab replied, "She refrains from prayer." Yahya said that Malik said, "That is what is done in our community

وحدثني عن مالك، انه سال ابن شهاب عن المراة الحامل، ترى الدم قال تكف عن الصلاة، . قال يحيى قال مالك وذلك الامر عندنا
