MALIK’S MUWATTA
It was Caliph Umar who added to the prayer call (one more ‘biddah’ on account that he has already added biddah-tul-hassana among the Muslims)
The Tormented Path. This book was written by Malik bin Anus bin Malik bin Abu-Ameer Al- Asbahi (the self claimed Imam). I have gathered here some quotations from his book which elucidate the esteeme he and his compaignions holds for the Prophet (saww).
Here some of these Hadits and narrations and traditions are quoted.
Here only one or may be two examples are given, for detailed reading refer the reference given in the beginning of every quoted text.

Book 3, Number 3.1.8: Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the muazhzhin came to Umar ibn al−Khattab to call him to the subh prayer and found him sleeping, so he said, “Prayer is better than sleep,” and Umar ordered him to put that in the azhan for subh.
The joining of prayers (it is now faulty to call Shia Muslims apart in following the true path of the Prophet (s.a.w.w))
Book 9, Number 9.1.4: Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu’z Zubayr al−Makki from Said ibn Jubayr that Abdullah ibn Abbas said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed zhuhr and asr together and maghrib and isha together, and not out of fear nor because of travelling.”
Exibit the level of blasmphy regarding the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w)
Book 14, Number 14.2.3: Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from his paternal uncle, Wasi ibn Habban, 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 upon top of a house of ours and saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him 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 some one who, when he prostrated, kept his body close to the ground.
Here, complete book on weeping over dead is presented and there is no sentence here that proves it is not allowed instead the misconception over the issue is corrected by bibi Ayesha (highlighted)
SECTION 12: The Prohibition Against Weeping Over the Dead
Book 16, Number 16.12.36: Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir ibn Atik that Atik ibn al−Harith, the grandfather of Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir on his mother’s side, told him that Jabir ibn Atik had told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit and found him in his death−throes. He called to him but he did not reply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, “We belong to Allah, and to Him we are returning,” and added, “You are being taken from us, Abu’r−Rabi.” The women cried out and wept, and Jabir began to silence them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, “Leave them, and when the necessary time comes, none of
the women should cry.” They said, “Messenger of Allah, what is the necessary time?”, and he replied, “When he dies.” The dying man’s daughter said, “By Allah, I hope that you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for battle,” and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah has made his reward fall according to his intention. What do you consider dying a martyr to be?” They said, “Death in the way of Allah.” The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, “There are seven kinds of rnartyr other than those killed in the way of Allah. Someone who is killed by the plague is a martyr, someone who drowns is a martyr, someone who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, someone who dies of a disease of the belly is a martyr, someone who dies by fire is a martyr, someone who dies under a falling building is a
martyr and a woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr.”
Book 16, Number 16.12.37: Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from his father that Amra bint Abdar−Rahman told him that she had heard A’isha, the umm
al−muminin, say (when it was mentioned to her that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, “The dead are tormented by the weeping of the living”), “May Allah forgive Abu Abd ar−Rahman. Of course he has not lied, but he has forgotten, or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by a jewish woman whose family were crying over her and he said, ‘You are crying over her, and she is being tormented in her grave. ‘ “
Another Bidddah
Book 17, Number 17.2.7: Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab said, “The first person to deduct zakat from allowances was Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan.” (i.e. the deduction being made automatically)…
Blasmphy called upon the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w) calling him a shere deviator from the words of God and the conflict of abu Huraira with bibi Ayesha and Hafsa (wives of the Prophet (s.a.w.w))
Book 18, Number 18.4.11: Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar−Rahman ibn al−Harith ibn Hisham that he heard Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar−Rahman ibn al−Harith ibn Hisham say, “My father and I were with Marwan ibn al Hakam at the time when he was amir of Madina, and someone mentioned to him that Abu Hurayra used to say, ‘If someone begins the morning junub, he has broken the fast for that day.’ Marwan said, ‘I swear to you, Abdar−Rahman, you must go to the two umm al muminin, A’isha and Umm Salama, and ask them about it.’ ”Abd ar−Rahman went to visit A’isha and I accompanied him. He greeted her and then said, ‘Umm
al−muminin, we were with Marwan ibn al Hakam and someone
mentioned to him that Abu Hurayra used to say that if some one had begun the morning junub, he had broken the fast for that day.’ A’isha said, ‘It is not as Abu
Here I would like to divert your attention towards the matter that why all of the Hadiths regarding ‘junab’ are narrated from bibi Ayesha and Hafsa? And not from any other wife of the Prophet (s.a.w.w)? or atleast any other companion?

Hurayra says Abd ar−Rahman. Do you dislike what the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to do?’, and Abdar−Rahman said, ‘No, by Allah.’ A’isha said, ‘I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to get up in the morning junub from intercourse, not a dream, and would then fast for that day.’ ” He continued, “Then we went and visited Umm Salama, and Abdar−Rahman asked her about the same matter and she said the same as A’isha had said. Then we went off until we came to Marwan ibn al−Hakam Abd ar−Rahman told him what they had both said and Marwan said, ‘I swear to you, Abu Muhammad, you must use the mount which is at the door, and go to Abu Hurayra, who is on his land at al Aqiq, and tell him this.’ So Abdar−Rahman rode off, and I went with him, until we came to Abu Hurayra. Abd ar−Rahman talked with him for a while, and then mentioned the matter to him, and Abu Hurayra said, ‘I don’t know anything about it. I was just told that by someone.’”
Making mockry of the Prophet (s.a.w.w)
Book 18, Number 18.5.14: Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that A’isha, umm al−muminin, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to kiss certain of his wives when fasting,” and then she laughed.
In connection with the above
Why now Calip Umar prohibits the same? Is he not tormenting the “right” path?
Book 18, Number 18.6.20: Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to forbid kissing and fondling for people who were fasting.
Eating an ass
Book 20, Number 20.22.79: Yahya related to me from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam, that Ata ibn Yasar had told him, from Abu Qatada, the same hadith about the wild ass* as that of Abu’n−Nadr, except that in the hadith of Zayd ibn Aslam the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, “Do you still have any of its meat?”
Not eating an ass
Contradiction
Book 20, Number 20.23.84: Yahya related to me from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud, from Abdullah ibn Abbas, that as−Sab ibn Jaththama al−Laythi once gave a wild ass to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he was at al−Abwa, or Waddan, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave it back to him. However, when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw the expression on the man’s face he said, “We only gave it back to you because we are in ihram.”
This is strange: because today it is a common practice that Sunni women can not perform Hajj with out the assistance of a ‘Mehram’.
Book 20, Number 20.77.263: Malik said, concerning a woman who had never been on hajj, “If she doesn’t have a mahram, or if
she has, but he cannot come with her, she does not abandon Allah’s making of the hajj obligatory for her. Let her go in a group of women.”
Recognition of ‘Khums’ by Imam Malik, this topic is also dealt in section 11 of this book as well.
SECTION 7: Things on Which the Tax of One Fifth (Khumus) is Not Obligatory
Book 21, Number 21.7.16: Malik said about enemy soldiers who were found on the seashore of a Muslim land, and they claimed that they were merchants and that the sea had driven them ashore, while the Muslims were not able to verify any of that except that their ships were damaged, or they were thirsty and had disembarked without the permission of the Muslims, “I think that it is up to the imam to give his opinion about them, and I do not think that the tax of one fifth is taken from them.”
Malik astraying from the rightous path (here we can see clearly how much he astrays from the fore told path).
Book 22, Number 22.1.2: Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that his paternal aunt related that her grandmother made a vow to walk to the Quba mosque. She died,and did not fulfill it, so Abdullah ibn Abbas asked her daughter to walk for her. Yahya said that he had heard Malik say, “No one walks for anyone else.”
Book 22, Number 22.1.1: Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud from Abdullah ibn Abbas that Sad ibn Ubada questioned the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,and said,”My mother died while she still had a vow which she had not fulfilled.” The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Fulfill it for her.”
The Third Caliph was supposed to be stoned in respect of his actions and he has no knowledge of the Holy Book at all (what a deserving Caliph, indeed)
Book 41, Number 41.1.11: Malik related to me that he had heard that Uthman ibn Affan was brought a woman who had given birth after six months and he ordered her to be stoned. Ali ibn Abi Talib said to him, “She does not deserve that. Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, says in His Book, ‘Their carrying and weaning is thirty months,’ (Sura 46 ayat 15) and he said, ‘Mothers suckle their children for two full years for whoever wishes to complete the suckling.’ (Sura 2 ayat 233) Pregnancy can then be six months, so she does not deserve to be stoned.” Uthman ibn Affan sent for her and found that she had already been stoned. Malik related to me that he asked Ibn Shihab about someone who committed sodomy. Ibn Shihab said, “He is to be stoned, whether or not he is muhsan.”
Yazid the drunkard.
Book 42, Number 42.1.1: Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that as−Sa’ib ibn Yazid informed him that Umar ibn al−Khattab came out to them. He said, “I have found the smell of wine on so−and−so, and he claimed that it was the drink of boiled fruit juice, and I am inquiring about what he has drunk. If it intoxicates, I will flog him.” Umar then flogged him with the complete hadd.
Look a democrate is born.
Book 42, Number 42.5.14: Yahya related to me from Malik from Da’ud ibn al−Husayn that Waqid ibn Amr ibn Sad ibn Muazh informed him from Mahmud ibn Labid al−Ansari that when Umar ibn al−Khattab went to ash−Sham, the people of ash−Sham complained to him about the bad air of their land and its heaviness. They said, “Only this drink helps.” Umar said, “Drink this honey preparation.” They said, “Honey does not help us.” A man from the people of that land said, “Can we give you something of this drink which does not intoxicate?” He said, “Yes.” They cooked it until two−thirds of it evaporated and one−third of it remained. Then they brought it to Umar. Umar put his finger in it and then lifted his head and extended it. He said, “This is fruit juice concentrated by boiling. This is like the distillation with which you smear the camel’s scabs.” Umar ordered them to drink it. Ubada ibn as−Samit said to him, “You have made it halal, by Allah!” Umar said, “No, by Allah! O Allah! I will not make anything halal for them which You have made haram for them! I will not make anything haram for them which You have made halal for them.”
Despite the fact that I would love to add commentary all the texts that I have quoted .. narrating such beliefs are shamefull enough for me and any other senceable mind.
May Allah guide us to the rightious path, the path of the blessed (as) and not lead us the tormented darkness.
To all the readers .. kindly think what you are being told from various platforms and what is the TRUTH behind it.
Peace and oil for all.
