SahihAlBukhari-017-001-1186		Narrated Zahdam: There were good relations and brotherhood between this tribe of Jurm and the Ashariyin. Once; while we were sitting with Abu Mousa AlAshari; there was brought to him a meal which contained chicken meat; and there was sitting beside him; a man from the tribe of Bani Taim Allah who looked like one of the Mawali. Abu Mousa invited the man to eat but the man said; I have seen chicken eating some dirty things; and I have taken an oath not to eat chicken. Abu Mousa said to him; Come along; let me tell you something in this regard. Once I went to the Prophet ﷺ with a few men from Ashariyin and we asked him for mounts. The Prophet ﷺ said; By Allah; I will not mount you on anything; besides I do not have anything to mount you on. Then a few camels from the war booty were brought to the Prophet; and he asked about us; saying; Where are the group of Ashariyin? So he ordered for five fat camels to be given to us and then we set out. We said; What have we done? Allah Messenger ﷺ took an oath that he would not give us anything to ride and that he had nothing for us to ride; yet he provided us with mounts. We made Allah Messenger ﷺ forget his oath! By Allah; we will never be successful. So we returned to him and reminded him of his oath. He said; I have not provided you with the mount; but Allah has done so. By Allah; I may take an oath to do something; but on finding something else which is better; I do that which is better and make the expiation for my oath.

After that Allah Messenger ﷺ wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect; and they wrote that they had not killed him.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-1302		Narrated AlMiswar Bin Makhrama: The group of people whom Umar had selected as candidates for the Caliphate gathered and consulted each other. Abdulrahman said to them; I am not going to compete with you in this matter; but if you wish; I would select for you a caliph from among you. So all of them agreed to let Abdulrahman decide the case. So when the candidates placed the case in the hands of Abdulrahman the people went towards him and nobody followed the rest of the group nor obeyed any after him. So the people followed Abdulrahman and consulted him all those nights till there came the night we gave the oath of allegiance to Uthman. AlMiswar bin Makhrama added: Abdulrahman called on me after a portion of the night had passed and knocked on my door till I got up; and he said to me; I see you have been sleeping! By Allah; during the last three nights I have not slept enough. Go and call AlZubair and Sad. So I called them for him and he consulted them and then called me saying; Call Ali for me. I called Ali and he held a private talk with him till very late at night; and then Al; got up to leave having had much hope to be chosen as a Caliph but Abdulrahman was afraid of something concerning Ali. Abdulrahman then said to me; Call Uthman for me. I called him and he kept on speaking to him privately till the Muadh-dhin put an end to their talk by announcing the Adhan for the Fajr prayer. When the people finished their morning prayer and that six men group gathered near the pulpit; Abdulrahman sent for all the Muhajirin emigrants and the Ansar present there and sent for the army chief who had performed the Hajj with Umar that year. When all of them had gathered; Abdulrahman said; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah; and added; Now then; O Ali; I have looked at the people tendencies and noticed that they do not consider anybody equal to Uthman; so you should not incur blame by disagreeing. Then Abdulrahman said to Uthman ; I gave the oath of allegiance to you on condition that you will follow Allah Laws and the traditions of Allah Apostle and the traditions of the two Caliphs after him. So Abdulrahman gave the oath of allegiance to him; and so did the people including the Muhajirin emigrants and the Ansar and the chiefs of the army staff and all the Muslims.

The Prophet ﷺ said; By Allah; I will not give you anything to ride; and I have nothing to mount you on. We stayed there as long as Allah wished; and after that; some camels were brought to the Prophet and he ordered that we be given three camels. When we set out; some of us said to others; Allah will not bless us; as we all went to Allah Messenger ﷺ asking him for mounts; and although he had sworn that he would not give us mounts; he did give us. So we returned to the Prophet; and mentioned that to him. He said; I have not provided you with mounts; but Allah has.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-1513		Narrated Zahdam AlJarmi: We were sitting with Abu Mousa AlAshsari; and as there were ties of friendship and mutual favors between us and his tribe. His meal was presented before him and there was chicken meat in it. Among those who were present there was a man from Bani Taimillah having a red complexion as a non-Arab freed slave; and that man did not approach the meal. Abu Mousa said to him; Come along! I have seen Allah Messenger ﷺ eating of that i.e.; chicken. The man said; I have seen it chickens eating something I regarded as dirty; and so I have taken an oath that I shall not eat its meat chicken. Abu Mousa said; Come along! I will inform you about it i.e.; your oath. Once we went to Allah Messenger ﷺ in company with a group of Ashairiyin; asking him for mounts while he was distributing some camels from the camels of Zakat. Ayoub said; I think he said that the Prophet was in an angry mood at the time. The Prophet ﷺ said; By Allah! I will not give you mounts; and I have nothing to mount you on. After we had left; some camels of booty were brought to Allah Apostle and he said; Where are those Ashariyin? Where are those Ashariyin? So we went to him and he gave us five very fat good-looking camels. We mounted them and went away; and then I said to my companions; We went to Allah Messenger ﷺ to give us mounts; but he took an oath that he would not give us mounts; and then later on he sent for us and gave us mounts; perhaps Allah Messenger ﷺ forgot his oath. By Allah; we will never be successful; for we have taken advantage of the fact that Allah Messenger ﷺ forgot to fulfill his oath. So let us return to Allah Messenger ﷺ to remind him of his oath. We returned and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! We came to you and asked you for mounts; but you took an oath that you would not give us mounts but later on you gave us mounts; and we thought or considered that you have forgotten your oath. The Prophet ﷺ said; Depart; for Allah has given you Mounts. By Allah; Allah willing; if I take an oath and then later find another thing better than that; I do what is better; and make expiation for the oath. two other narrations through Zahdam as above	The Chapter on Journeys And Travel And Oaths in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on To make expiation for ones oath in Sahih AlBukhari

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-1763		Narrated Abu Qilaba: Once Umar Bin Abd AlAziz sat on his throne in the courtyard of his house so that the people might gather before him. Then he admitted them and when they came in ; he said; What do you think of AlQasama? They said; We say that it is lawful to depend on AlQasama in Qisas; as the previous Muslim Caliphs carried out Qisas depending on it. Then he said to me; O Abu Qilaba! What do you say about it? He let me appear before the people and I said; O Chief of the Believers! You have the chiefs of the army staff and the nobles of the Arabs. If fifty of them testified that a married man had committed illegal sexual intercourse in Damascus but they had not seen him doing so ; would you stone him? He said; No. I said; If fifty of them testified that a man had committed theft in Hums; would you cut off his hand though they did not see him? He replied; No. I said; By Allah; Allah Messenger ﷺ never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: 1 A person who killed somebody unjustly; was killed in Qisas; 2 a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and 3 a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle and deserted Islam and became an apostate. Then the people said; Didnt Anas Bin Malik narrate that Allah Messenger ﷺ cut off the hands of the thieves; branded their eyes and then; threw them in the sun? I said; I shall tell you the narration of Anas. Anas said: Eight persons from the tribe of Ukl came to Allah Messenger ﷺ and gave the Pledge of allegiance for Islam became Muslim. The climate of the place Medina did not suit them; so they became sick and complained about that to Allah Messenger ﷺ. He said to them ; Wont you go out with the shepherd of our camels and drink of the camels milk and urine as medicine ? They said; Yes. So they went out and drank the camels milk and urine; and after they became healthy; they killed the shepherd of Allah Messenger ﷺ and took away all the camels. This news reached Allah Messenger ﷺ ; so he sent men to follow their traces and they were captured and brought to the Prophet. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet; and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron; and then he threw them in the sun till they died. I said; What can be worse than what those people did? They deserted Islam; committed murder and theft. Then Anbasa Bin Saeed said; By Allah; I never heard a narration like this of today. I said; O Anbasa! You deny my narration? Anbasa said; No; but you have related the narration in the way it should be related. By Allah; these people are in welfare as long as this Sheikh Abu Qilaba is among them. I added; Indeed in this event there has been a tradition set by Allah Messenger ﷺ. The narrator added: Some Ansari people came to the Prophet ﷺ and discussed some matters with him; a man from amongst them went out and was murdered. Those people went out after him; and behold; their companion was swimming in blood. They returned to Allah Messenger ﷺ and said to him; O Allah Apostle; we have found our companion who had talked with us and gone out before us; swimming in blood killed. Allah Messenger ﷺ went out and asked them; Whom do you suspect or whom do you think has killed him? They said; We think that the Jews have killed him. The Prophet ﷺ sent for the Jews and asked them; Did you kill this person ? They replied; No. He asked the AlAnsars; Do you agree that I let fifty Jews take an oath that they have not killed him? They said; It matters little for the Jews to kill us all and then take false oaths. He said; Then would you like to receive the Diya after fifty of you have taken an oath that the Jews have killed your man ? They said; We will not take the oath. Then the Prophet ﷺ himself paid them the Diya Blood-money. The narrator added; The tribe of Hudhail repudiated one of their men for his evil conduct in the Pre-lslamic period of Ignorance. Then; at a place called AlBatha near Mecca ; the man attacked a Yemenite family at night to steal from them; but a. man from the family noticed him and struck him with his sword and killed him. The tribe of Hudhail came and captured the Yemenite and brought him to Umar during the Hajj season and said; He has killed our companion. The Yemenite said; But these people had repudiated him i.e.; their companion. Umar said; Let fifty persons of Hudhail swear that they had not repudiated him. So forty-nine of them took the oath and then a person belonging to them; came from Sham and they requested him to swear similarly; but he paid one-thousand Dirhams instead of taking the oath. They called another man instead of him and the new man shook hands with the brother of the deceased. Some people said; We and those fifty men who had taken false oaths AlQasama set out; and when they reached a place called Nakhlah; it started raining so they entered a cave in the mountain; and the cave collapsed on those fifty men who took the false oath; and all of them died except the two persons who had shaken hands with each other. They escaped death but a stone fell on the leg of the brother of the deceased and broke it; whereupon he survived for one year and then died. I further said; Abdul Malik Bin Marwan sentenced a man to death in Qisas equality in punishment for murder; basing his judgment on AlQasama; but later on he regretted that judgment and ordered that the names of the fifty persons who had taken the oath AlQasama ; be erased from the register; and he exiled them in Sham.

If a grazer of camels and sheep that you had appointed comes back to you leaving the cattle; you will certainly think that the cattle are lost. To look after the people is more serious and grave. The dying Caliph was moved at my words. He bent his head in a thoughtful mood for some time and raised it to me and said: God will doubtlessly protect His religion. If I do not nominate a successor I have a precedent before me ; for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not nominate his successor. And if I nominate one I have a precedent ; for Abu Bakr did nominate.

He went out with him; driving his camels and another man from Banu Hashim passed by them. The leather rope of that man bag broke; so he said to the hired worker : Help me by giving me a rope with which to tie the handle of my bag; lest the camels run away from me. So he gave him a rope and he tied his gab with it. When they halted; all the camels legs were hobbled except one camel. The one who had hired him said: Why is his camel; out of all of them; not hobbled? He said: There is no rope for it. He said: Where is its rope? He said: A man from Banu Hashim passed by and the leather rope of his bag had broken; and he asked me to help him; he said: Help me by giving me a rope with which to tie the handle of my bag lest the camels run away from me; so I gave him a rope. He struck him with a stick; which led to his death.Then a man from Yemen passed by him the man from Banu Hashim; the man from Banu Hashim; just before he died and he the Hashimi man said: Are you going to attend the Pilgrimage? He said: I do not think I will attend it; but perhaps I will attend it. He said: Will you convey a message from me once in your lifetime? He said: Yes. He said: If you attend the pilgrimage; then call out; O family of Quraish! If they respond; then call out; O family of Hashim! If they respond; then ask for Abu Talib; and tell him that so and so killed me for a rope. Then the hired worker died. When the one who had hired him cam; Abu Talib went to him and said: What happened to our companion? He said: He fell sick and I took good care of him; but he died; so I stopped and buried him. He said: He deserved that from you. Some time passed; then the Yemeni man who had been asked to convey the message arrived at the time of the pilgrimage. He said: O family of Quraish! And they said: Here is Quraish. He said: O family of Banu Hashim! They said: Here is Banu Hashim. He said Where is Abu Talib? He said: Here is Abu Talib. He said: so and so asked me to convey a message to you; that so and so killed him for a camel rope. Abu Talib went to him and said Choose one of three alternatives that we are offering you. If you wish; you may give us one hundred camels; because you killed our companion by mistake: or if you wish; fifty of your men may swear an oath that you did not kill him; or if you wish; we will kill you in retaliation. He went to his people and told them about that; and they said: We will swear the oath. Then a woman from Banu Hashim; who was married to one of their men and had born him a child; came to Abu Talib and said: O Abu Talib; I wish that my son; who is one of these fifty men; should be excused from having to take the oath.; So the excused him. Then one of the men came to him and said: O Abu Talib; you want fifty men to take the oath in lieu of one hundred camels; which means that each man may give two camels instead; so here are two camels; take them from me; and do not make me take the oath. So he accepted them; and did not make him take the oath. Then forty-eight men came and took the oath. Ibn Abbas said: By the One in Whose hand is my soul; by the time a year has passed; none of those forty-eight men remained alive.

He said : Do you take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; and we shortly took the oath of allegiance. We said: we have already taken the oath of allegiance to you. He repeated the same words three times. We then stretched our hands and took the oath of allegiance to him. A man or us said : We took the oath of allegiance to you; now on what should we take the oath of allegiance; Messenger of Allah ? He replied: That you should worship Allah; do not associate anything with Him; offer five times prayer; listen and obey. He uttered a word quietly : And do not beg from the people. When the whip fell on the ground; none of that group asked anyone to pick up the whip for him.Abu Dawud said : The version of Hisham was not narrated by anyone except Said.

Abdullah Bin Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed for the murder. Abdulrahman Bin Sahl and Huwayasah and Muhayasah; the sons of his uncle Masud came to the Prophet ﷺ. Abdulrahman who was the youngest; spoke about his brother; but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Respect the elder; respect the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them the Jews and he should be entrusted to him with his rope in his neck. They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels; and the camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or something similar to it.Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya Bin Saeed has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ?

He did not mention the claim.Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn Uyainah.

Muhayasah came and told the Abdullah Bin Sahl had been killed and thrown in a well or stream. He hen came to the Jews and said: I swear by Allah; you have killed him. They said: We swear by Allah; we have not killed him. He then proceeded and came to his tribe and mentioned this to them. Then he; his brother Huwayasah; who was older to him; and Abdulrahman Bin Sahl came forward to the Prophet. Muhayasah began to speak. It was he who was at Khaibar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to him: Let the eldest speak ; let the eldest speak ; meaning age. So Huwayasah spoke; and after him Muhayasah spoke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: They should either pay the bloodwit for you friend or they should be prepared for war. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to them about it. They wrote in reply : We swear by Allah; we have not killed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to Huwayasah; Muhayasah and Abdulrahman Will you take an oath and thus have the claim to the blood of your friend ? They said: No. He the Prophet said: The Jews will then take an oath. They said: They are not Muslims. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself paid the bloodwit.

We the people of the slain then went to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. He said to them: Bring proof against the one who has slain him. They replied: We have no proof.

In Muwata Malik

Hadith Page	Arabic Text	English Translation	Book and Chapter
MuwataMalik-017-001-34742		Yahya said from Malik from Yahya Ibn Said that Bushayr Ibn Yasar informed him that Abdullah Ibn Sahl AlAnsari and Muhayisa Ibn Masud went out to Khaybar; and they separated on their various businesses and Abdullah Ibn Sahl was killed. Muhayisa; and his brother Huwayisa and Abdulrahman Ibn Sahl went to the Prophet; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; and Abdulrahman began to speak before his brother. The Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; The older first; the older first. Therefore Huwayisa and then Muhayisa spoke and mentioned the affair of Abdullah Ibn Sahl. The Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said to them; Do you swear with fifty oaths and claim the blood-money of your companion or the life of the murderer? They said; Messenger of Allah; we did not see it and we were not present. The Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; Will you acquit the jews for fifty oaths? They said; Messenger of Allah; how can we accept the oaths of a people who are kafirun? Yahya Ibn Said said; Bushayr Ibn Yasar claimed that the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; paid the blood-money from his own property. Malik said; The generally agreed on way of doing things in our community and that which I heard from whoever I am content with; concerning the oath of qasama; and upon which the past and present imams agree; is that those who claim revenge begin with the oaths and swear. The oath for revenge is only obligatory in two situations. Either the slain person says; My blood is against so-and-so; or the relatives entitled to the blood bring a partial proof of it that is not irrefutable against the one who is the object of the blood-claim. This obliges taking an oath on the part of those who claim the blood against those who are the object of the blood-claim. With us; swearing is only obliged in these two situations. Malik said; That is the sunna in which there is no dispute with us and which is still the behaviour of the people. The people who claim blood begin the swearings; whether it is an intentional killing or an accident. Malik said; The Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; began with Banu Harith in the case of the killing of their kinsman murdered at Khaybar. Malik said; If those who make the claim swear; they deserve the blood of their kinsman and whoever they swear against is slain. Only one man can be killed in the qasama. Two cannot be killed in it. Fifty men from the blood-relatives must swear fifty oaths. If their number is less or some of them draw back; they can repeat their oaths; unless one of the relatives of the murdered man who deserves blood and who is permitted to pardon it; draws back. If one of these draws back; there is no way to revenge. Yahya said that Malik said; The oaths can be made by those of them who remain if one of them draws back who is not permitted to pardon. If one of the blood-relatives draws back who is permitted to pardon; even if he is only one; more oaths can not be made after that by the blood- relatives. If that occurs; the oaths can be on behalf of the one against whom the claim is made. So fifty of the men of his people swear fifty oaths. If there are not fifty men; more oaths can be made by those of them who already swore. If there is only the defendant; he swears fifty oaths and is acquitted. Yahya said that Malik said; One distinguishes between swearing for blood and oaths for one rights. When a man has a money-claim against another man; he seeks to verify his due. When a man wants to kill another man; he does not kill him in the midst of people. He keeps to a place away from people. Had there only been swearing in cases where there is a clear proof and had one acted in it as one acts about one rights i.e. needing witnesses ; the right of blood retribution would have been lost and people would have been swift to take advantage of it when they learned of the decision on it. However; the relatives of the murdered man were allowed to initiate swearing so that people might restrain themselves from blood and the murderer might beware lest he was put into a situation like that i.e. qasama by the statement of the murdered man. Yahya said; Malik said about a people of whom a certain number are suspected of murder and the relatives of the murdered man ask them to take oaths and they are numerous; so they ask that each man swears fifty oaths on his own behalf. The oaths are not divided out between them according to their number and they are not acquitted unless each man among them swears fifty oaths on his own behalf. Malik said; This is the best I have heard about the matter. He said; Swearing goes to the paternal relatives of the slain. They are the blood-relatives who swear against the killer and by whose swearing he is killed.	The Chapter on Oath And Jews In Crimes And Felonies in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Purity in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34744		Yahya said that Malik said; The way of doing things in our community about Yahya said that Malik said; The procedure in swearing in manslaughter is that those who claim blood swear and it becomes due by their swearing. They swear fifty oaths; and there is blood-money for them according to the division of their inheritances. If it is not possible to divide up the oaths which they swear between them evenly; one looks to the one who has most of those oaths against him; and that oath is obliged against him. Malik said; If the slain man only has female heirs; they swear and take the blood-money. If he only has one male heir; he swears fifty oaths and takes the blood-money. That is only in the accidental killing; not in the intentional one.	The Chapter on Oath And Jews In Crimes And Felonies in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Purity in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34745		Yahya said that Malik said; When the relatives of the deceased accept the blood-money then it is inherited according to the Book of Allah. Daughters of the dead man inherit and so do sisters; and whichever women would inherit from him ordinarily. If the women do not take all his inheritance; then what remains goes to the agnatic relations who most deserve to inherit from him in conjunction with the women. Malik said; When one of the heirs of a man killed by mistake attempts to take his due from the blood-money while his companions are absent; he may not do that; and he has no right to any of the blood-money; however large or small; unless the qasama has been completed by him. If he swears fifty oaths then he has the right to his portion of the blood-money. That is because the blood-money is not established as due without there being fifty oaths; and the blood- money is not established as due unless the responsibility for the blood is established. If any one of the heirs comes after that he swears a number of the oaths commensurate with his fraction of the inheritance and takes his right until all the heirs exact their complete right. If a maternal uncle comes he has one sixth and must swear one sixth of the fifty oaths. So whoever swears may take his due from the blood-money and whoever abstains annuls his right. If one of the heirs is absent or is a child who has not reached puberty; those who are present swear fifty oaths and if the one who was absent comes after that or the child reaches puberty; they swear. and they swear according to their due of the blood-money and according to their shares of inheritance from it. Yahya said that Malik said; This is the best I have heard on the matter.	The Chapter on Money And Inheritance In Crimes And Felonies in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Purity in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34746		Yahya said that Malik said; What is done in our community about slaves is that when a slave is struck intentionally or accidentally and the master brings a witness; he swears with his witness one oath and then he has the value of the slave. There is no swearing for revenge in slaves; accidentally or intentionally; and I have not heard any of the people of knowledge say that there was. Malik said; If a slave is killed intentionally or accidentally; the master of the slave who is slain has no swearing or oath. The master cannot demand his right except with a fair proof or a witness if he swears with one witness. Yahya said that Malik said; This is the best of what I have heard on the matter.	The Chapter on Payments And Buying Of Slaves in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Purity in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34844		Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Irak Ibn Malik and Sulayman Ibn Yasar that a man of the Banu Sad Ibn Layth was running a horse and it trod on the finger of a man from the Juhayna tribe. It bled profusely; and he died. Umar Ibn AlKhattab said to those against whom the claim was made. Do you swear by Allah with fifty oaths that he did not die of it? They refused and stopped themselves from doing it. He said to the others; Will you take an oath? They refused; so Umar Ibn AlKhattab gave a judgement that the Banu Sad had to pay half the full blood-money. Malik said; One does not act on this.	The Chapter on Oaths And Pledges And Islam in HodHood Indexing, The Book of General Subjects in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34907		Malik related to me that he heard that Abu Salama Ibn Abdulrahman and Sulayman Ibn Yasar were both asked; Does one pronounce judgement on the basis of an oath with one witness? They both said; Yes. Malik said; The precedent of the sunna in judging by an oath with one witness is that if the plaintiff takes an oath with his witness; he is confirmed in his right. If he draws back and refuses to take an oath; the defendant is made to take an oath. If he takes an oath; the claim against him is dropped. If he refuses to take an oath; the claim is confirmed against him. Malik said; This procedure pertains to property cases in particular. It does not occur in any of the hadd-punishments; nor in marriage; divorce; freeing slaves; theft or slander. If some one says; Freeing slaves comes under property; he has erred. It is not as he said. Had it been as he said; a slave could take an oath with one witness; if he could find one; that his master had freed him. However; when a slave lays claim to a piece of property; he can take an oath with one witness and demand his right as the freeman demands his right. Malik said; The sunna with us is that when a slave brings somebody who witnesses that he has been set free; his master is made to take an oath that he has not freed him; and the slave claim is dropped. Malik said; The sunna about divorce is also like that with us. When a woman brings somebody who witnesses that her husband has divorced her; the husband is made to take an oath that he has not divorced her. If he takes the oath; the divorce does not proceed. Malik said; There is only one sunna of bringing a witness in cases of divorce and freeing a slave. The right to make an oath only belongs to the husband of the woman; and the master of the slave. Freeing is a hadd matter; and the testimony of women is not permitted in it because when a slave is freed; his inviolability is affirmed and the hadd punishments are applied for and against him. If he commits fornication and he is a muhsan; he is stoned. If he kills a slave; he is killed for it. Inheritance is established for him; between him and whoever inherits from him. If somebody disputes this; arguing that if a man frees his slave and then a man comes to demand from the master of the slave payment of a debt; and a man and two women testify to his right; that establishes the right against the master of the slave so that his freeing him is cancelled if he only has the slave as property; inferring by this case that the testimony of women is permitted in cases of setting free. The case is not as he suggests i.e. it is a case of property not freeing. It is like a man who frees his slave; and then the claimant of a debt comes to the master and takes an oath with one witness; demanding his right. By that; the freeing of the slave would be cancelled. Or else a man comes who has frequent dealings and transactions with the master of the slave. He claims that he is owed money by the master of the slave. Someone says to the master of the slave; Take an oath that you dont owe what he claims. If he draws back and refuses to take an oath; the one making the claim takes an oath and his right against the master of the slave is confirmed. That would cancel the freeing of the slave if it is confirmed that property is owed by the master. Malik said; It is the same case with a man who marries a slave-girl and then the master of the slave-girl comes to the man who has married her and claims; You and so-and-so have bought my slave-girl from me for such an amount of dinars. The husband of the slave-girl denies that. The master of the slave-girl brings a man and two women and they testify to what he has said. The sale is confirmed and his claim is considered true. So the slave-girl is haram for her husband and they have to separate; even though the testimony of women is not accepted in divorce. Malik said; It is also the same case with a man who accuses a free man; so the hadd falls on him. A man and two women come and testify that the one accused is a slave. That would remove the hadd from the accused after it had befallen him; even though the testimony of women is not accepted in accusations involving hadd punishments. Malik said; Another similar case in which judgement appears to go against the precedent of the sunna is that two women testify that a child is born alive and so it is necessary for him to inherit if a situation arises where he is entitled to inherit; and the child property goes to those who inherit from him; if he dies; and it is not necessary that the two women witnesses should be accompanied by a man or an oath even though it may involve vast properties of gold; silver; live-stock; gardens and slaves and other properties. However; had two women testified to one dirham or more or less than that in a property case; their testimony would not affect anything and would not be permitted unless there was a witness or an oath with them. Malik said; There are people who say that an oath is not acceptable with only one witness and they argue by the word of Allah the Blessed; the Exalted; and His word is the Truth; And call in to witness two witnesses; men; or if the two be not men; then one man and two women; such witnesses as you approve of. Surat 2 ayat 282. Such people argue that if he does not bring one man and two women; he has no claim and he is not allowed to take an oath with one witness. Malik said; Part of the proof against those who argue this; is to reply to them; Do you think that if a man claimed property from a man; the one claimed from would not swear that the claim was false? If he swears; the claim against him is dropped. If he refuses to take an oath; the claimant is made to take an oath that his claim is true; and his right against his companion is established. There is no dispute about this with any of the people nor in any country. By what does he take this? In what place in the Book of Allah does he find it? So if he confirms this; let him confirm the oath with one witness; even if it is not in the Book of Allah; the Mighty; the Majestic! It is enough that this is the precedent of the sunna. However; man wants to recognise the proper course of action and the location of the proof. In this there is a clarification for what is obscure about that; if Allah taala wills.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34908		Yahya said that Malik spoke about a man who died and had a debt owing to him and there was one witness; and some people had a debt against him and they had only one witness; and his heirs refused to take an oath on their rights with their witness. He said; The creditors take an oath and take their rights. If there is anything left over; the heirs do not take any of it. That is because the oaths were offered to them before and they abandoned them; unless they say; We did not know that our companion had extra; and it is known that they only abandoned the oaths because of that. I think that they should take an oath and take what remains after his debt.	The Chapter on Writing Oaths And Pledges in HodHood Indexing, The Book of The Evil Eye in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34909		Yahya said; Malik said about Jamil Ibn Abdulrahman AlMuadhdin that he was present with Umar Ibn Abd AlAziz when he was judging between people. If a man came to him with a claim against a man; he examined whether or not there were frequent transactions and dealings between them. If there were; the defendant could make an oath. If there was nothing of that nature he did not accept an oath from him. Malik summed up; What is done in our community is that if some one makes a claim against a man; it is examined. If there are frequent transactions and dealings between them; the defendant is made to take an oath. If he takes an oath; the claim against him is dropped. If the defendant refuses to take an oath; and returns the oath to the claimant; the one claiming his right takes an oath and takes his due.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34913		Yahya said that Malik had said from Daud Ibn AlHusayn that he heard Abu Ghatafan Ibn Tarif AlMuriyi say; Zayd Ibn Thabit AlAnsari and Ibn Muti had a dispute about a house which they shared. They went to Marwan Ibn AlHakam who was the Amir of Madina. Marwan decided that Zayd Ibn Thabit must take an oath on the mimbar. Zayd Ibn Thabit said; I swear to it where I am. Marwan said; No; by Allah! only in the place of sorting out claims i.e. the mimbar. Zayd Ibn Thabit began to take an oath that his right was true; and he refused to take an oath near the mimbar. Marwan Ibn AlHakam began to wonder at that. Malik said; I do not think that anyone should be made to take an oath near the mimbar for less than a fourth of a dinar; and that is three dirhams.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34916		Yahya said that he had heard Malik say; The undisputed way of doing things in our community concerning pledges is that in cases where land or a house or an animal are known to have been destroyed whilst in the possession of the broker of the pledge; and the circumstances of the loss are known; the loss is against the pledger. There is no deduction made from what is due to the broker at all. Any pledge which perishes in the possession of the broker and the circumstances of its loss are only known by his word; the loss is against the broker and he is liable for its value. He is asked to describe whatever was destroyed and then he is made to take an oath about that description and what he loaned on security for it. Then people of discernment evaluate the description. If the pledge was worth more than what the broker loaned; the pledger takes the extra. If the assessed value of the pledge is less than what he was loaned; the pledger is made to take an oath as to what the broker loaned and he does not have to pay the extra which the broker loaned above the assessed value of the pledge. If the pledger refuses to take an oath; he has to give the broker the extra above the assessed value of the pledge. If the broker says that he doesnt know the value of the pledge; the pledger is made to take an oath on the description of the pledge and that is his if he brings a matter which is not disapproved of. Malik said; All this applies when the broker takes the pledge and does not put it in the hands of another.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34918		Yahya said that he heard Malik speak about someone who pledged goods as security for a loan; and they perished with the broker. The one who took out the loan confirmed its specification. They agreed on the amount of the loan; but challenged each other about the value of the pledge; the pledger saying that it had been worth twenty dinars; whilst the broker said that it had been worth only ten; and that the amount loaned on security was twenty dinars. Malik said; It is said to the one in whose hand the pledge is; describe it. If he describes it he is made to take an oath on it and then the people of experience evaluate that description. If the value is more than what was loaned on security for it; it is said to the broker; Return the rest of his due to the pledger. If the value is less than what was loaned on security for it; the broker takes the rest of his due from the pledger. If the value is the exact amount of the loan; the pledge is compensated for by the loan. Yahya said that he heard Malik say; What is done in our community about two men who have a dispute about an amount of money loaned on the security of a pledge - the pledger claiming that he pledged it for ten dinars and the broker insisting that he took the pledge as security for twenty dinars; and the pledge is clearly in the possession of the broker - is that the broker is made to take an oath when the value of the pledge is fully known. If the value of the pledge is exactly what he swore that he had loaned on security for it; the broker takes the pledge as his right. He is more entitled to take precedence with an oath since he has possession of the pledge. If the owner of the pledge wants to give him the amount which he swore that he was owed; he can take the pledge back. If the pledge is worth less than the twenty dinars he loaned; then it is said to the pledger; Either you give him what he has sworn to and take your pledge back; or you swear to what you said you pledged it for. If the pledger takes the oath; then what the broker has increased over the value of the pledge will become invalid. If the pledger does not take an oath; he must pay what the broker swore to. Malik said; If a pledge given on security for a loan perishes; and both parties deny each other rights; with the broker who is owed the loan saying that he gave twenty dinars; and the pledger who owes the loan saying that he was given only ten; and with the broker who is owed the loan saying the pledge was worth ten dinars; and the broker who owes the loan saying it was worth twenty; then the broker who is owed the loan is asked to describe the pledge. If he describes it; he must take an oath on its description. Then people with experience of it evaluate that description. If the value of the pledge is estimated to be more than what the broker claims it was; he takes an oath as to what he claimed; and the pledger is given what is over from the value of the pledge. If its value is less than what the broker claims of it; he is made to take an oath as to what he claims is his. Then he demands settlement according to the actual value of the pledge. The one who owes the loan is then made to take an oath on the extra amount which remains owing against him to the claimant after the price of the pledge is reached. That is because the broker becomes a claimant against the pledger. If he takes an oath; the rest of what the broker swore to of what he claimed above the value of the pledge is invalidated. If he draws back; he is bound to pay what remains due to the broker after the value of the pledge.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34931		Yahya said that he heard Malik say; The way of doing things generally agreed upon in our community in the case of a man who dies and has sons and one of them claims; My father confirmed that so-and- so was his son; is that the relationship is not established by the testimony of one man; and the confirmation of the one who confirmed it is only permitted as regards his own share in the division of his father property. The one testified for is only given his due from the share of the testifier. Malik said; An example of this is that a man dies leaving two sons; and 600 dinars. Each of them takes 300 dinars. Then one of them testifies that his deceased father confirmed that so-and-so was his son. The one who testifies is obliged to give 100 dinars to the one thus connected. This is half of the inheritance of the one thought to be related; had he been related. If the other confirms him; he takes the other 100 and so he completes his right and his relationship is established. His position is similar to that of a woman who confirms a debt against her father or her husband and the other heirs deny it. She must pay to the person whose debt she confirms; the amount according to her share of the full debt; had it been confirmed against all the heirs. If the woman inherits an eighth; she pays the creditor an eighth of his debt. If a daughter inherits a half; she pays the creditor half of his debt. Whichever women confirm him; pay him according to this. Malik said; If a man testimony is in agreement with what the woman testified to; that so- and-so had a debt against his father; the creditor is made to take an oath with one witness and he is given all his due. This is not the position with women because a man testimony is allowed and the creditor must take an oath with the testimony of his witness; and take all his due. If he does not take an oath; he only takes from the inheritance of the one who confirmed him according to his share of the debt; because he confirmed his right and the other heirs denied it. It is permitted for him to confirm it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34948		Yahya related that he heard Malik say that if a man gave a washer a garment to dye and he dyed it; and then the owner of the garment said; I did not order you to use this dye; and the washer protested that he had done so; then the washer was to be believed. It was the same with the tailor and the gold-smith. They took an oath about it unless they produced something they would not normally have been employed to do. In that situation their statement was not allowed and the owner of the garment had to take an oath. If he rejected it and refused to swear; then the dyer was made to take an oath. Yahya said; I heard Malik speak about a dyer who was given a garment and he made a mistake and gave it to another man and the one to whom he gave it wore it. He said; The one who wore it has no damages against him; and the washer pays damages to the owner of the garment. That is when the man wears the garment which was given him without recognizing that it is not his. If he wears it knowing that it is not his garment; he is responsible for it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34954		Yahya said that he heard Malik say; What is done in our community about some one who gives a gift not intending a reward is that he calls witnesses to it. It is affirmed for the one to whom it has been given unless the giver dies before the one to whom it was given receives the gift. He said; If the giver wants to keep the gift after he has had it witnessed; he cannot. If the recipient claims it from him; he takes it. Malik said; If some one gives a gift and then withdraws it and the recipient brings a witness to testify for him that he was given the gift; be it goods; gold; silver or animals; the recipient is made to take an oath. If he refuses; the giver is made to take an oath. If he also refuses to take an oath; he gives to the recipient what he claims from him if he has at least one witness. If he does not have a witness; he has nothing. Malik said; If someone gives a gift not expecting anything in return and then the recipient dies; the heirs are in his place. If the giver dies before the recipient has received his gift; the recipient has nothing. That is because he was given a gift which he did not take possession of. If the giver wants to keep it; and he has called witnesses to the gift; he cannot do that. If the recipient claims his right he takes it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35047		Yahya related to me from Malik that Ab AlRijal Muhammad Ibn Abdulrahman heard his mother; Amra bint Abdulrahman say; A man bought the fruit of an enclosed orchard in the time of the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; and he tended it while staying on the land. It became clear to him that there was going to be some loss. He asked the owner of the orchard to reduce the price for him or to revoke the sale; but the owner made an oath not to do so. The mother of the buyer went to the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; and told him about it. The Messengerof Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; By this oath; he has sworn not to do good. The owner of the orchard heard about it and went to the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; and said; Messenger of Allah; the choice is his.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35191		Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah Ibn Umar said that statements like I cut myself off from you;orYou are abandoned; were considered as three pronouncements of divorce. Malik said that any strong statements such as these or others were considered as three pronouncements of divorce for a woman whose marriage had been consummated. In the case of a woman whose marriage had not been consummated; the man was asked to make an oath on his deen; as to whether he had intended one or three pronouncements of divorce. If he had intended one pronouncement; he was asked to make an oath by Allah to confirm it; and he became a suitor among other suitors; because a woman whose marriage had been consummated; required three pronouncements of divorce to make her inaccessible for the husband; whilst only one pronouncement was needed to make a woman whose marriage had not been consummated inaccessible. Malik added; That is the best of what I have heard about the matter.	The Chapter on Adhan And Iqama Pronunciation in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Marriage in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-35398		Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham Ibn Urwa from his father that Aisha; umm Almuminin said; Rashness in oaths is that a man says; By Allah; No! by Allah! i.e. out of habit. Malik said; The best of what I have heard on the matter is that rashness in oaths is that a man take an oath on something to show that he is certain that it is like he said; only to find that it is other than what he said. This is rashness. Malik said; The binding oath is for example; that a man says that he will not sell his garment for ten dinars; and then he sells it for that; or that he will beat his young slave and then does not beat him; and so on. One does kaffara for making such an oath; and there is no kaffara in rashness. Malik said; As for the one who swears to a thing which he knows is wicked; and he swears to a lie he knows to be a lie; in order to please someone with it or to excuse himself to someone by it or to gain money by it; no kaffara that he does for it can cover it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35399		Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah Ibn Umar said; Whoever swears by Allah and then says; Allah willing and then does not do what he has sworn to; has not broken his oath. Malik said; The best I have heard on this reservation is that it belongs to the statement made if the speaker does not break the normal flow of speech before he is silent. If he is silent and breaks the flow of speech; he has no exception. Yahya said; Malik said that a man who said that he had disbelieved or associated something with Allah and then he broke his oath; had no kaffara; and he was not a disbeliever or one who associated something with Allah unless his heart concealed something of either of those. He should ask forgiveness of Allah and not return to it - for what he did was evil.	The Chapter on Menstruation And Ablution in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Jihad in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-35400		Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl Ibn Abi Salih from his father from Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; Whoever makes an oath and then sees that something else would be better than it; should do kaffara for his oath and do what is better. Yahya said that he heard Malik say; Anyone who says that he has a vow but does not mention the name of Allah; is still obliged to make the kaffara for an oath if he breaks it. Malik said; Emphasis is when a man swears one thing several times; repeating the oath in his speech time after time. For instance; the statement; By Allah; I will not decrease it from such-and-such; sworn three times or more. The kaffara of that is like the kaffara of one oath. If a man swears; I will not eat this food or wear these clothes or enter this house; that is all in one oath; and he is only obliged to do one kaffara. It is the same for a man who says to his wife; You are divorced if I clothe you in this garment or let you go to the Masjid; and it is one entire statement in the normal pattern of speech. If he breaks any of that oath; divorce is necessary; and there is no breaking of oath after that in whatever he does. There is only one oath to be broken in that. Malik said; What we do about a woman who makes a vow without her husband permission is that she is allowed to do so and she must fulfill it; if it only concerns her own person and will not harm her husband. If; however; it will harm her husband; he may forbid her to fulfill it; but it remains an obligation against her until she has the opportunity to complete it.

If someone breaks an oath; but has not stressed it; he only has to feed ten poor people and each poor person is fed a mudd of wheat. Some one who does not have the means for that; should fast for three days.	The Chapter on Wealth And Poor And Orphans in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Jihad in Muwata Malik
