Chapter 3: The Command to Pray the Witr

Muwatta Malik 281

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abdullah ibn Abbas and Ubada ibn as-Samit and al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia had all prayed witr after the break of dawn.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ، وَالْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَدْ أَوْتَرُوا بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ ‏.‏

Muwatta Malik 282

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that Abdullah ibn Masud said, "I do not mind if the iqama for the subh prayer is called while I am still praying witr."
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ مَا أُبَالِي لَوْ أُقِيمَتْ صَلاَةُ الصُّبْحِ وَأَنَا أُوتِرُ، ‏.‏

Muwatta Malik 283

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, ''Ubada ibn as-Samit used to lead the people in prayer. One day he came out for subh and the muadhdhin began to give the iqama for the subh prayer Ubada silenced him, prayed witr and then led them in subh."
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ يَؤُمُّ قَوْمًا فَخَرَجَ يَوْمًا إِلَى الصُّبْحِ فَأَقَامَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ فَأَسْكَتَهُ عُبَادَةُ حَتَّى أَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمُ الصُّبْحَ ‏.‏

Muwatta Malik 284

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim said, "I heard Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia say, 'I sometimes pray witr while hearing the iqama, or after the break of dawn.' " Abd ar-Rahman was not certain which he said.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، يَقُولُ إِنِّي لأُوتِرُ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ الإِقَامَةَ، أَوْ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ ‏.‏ يَشُكُّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏.‏

Muwatta Malik 280

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd al Karim ibn Abi'l-Mukhariq al-Basri from Said ibn Jubayr that Abdullah ibn Abbas slept, and when he woke up, he said to his servant, "Go and see what the people have done," (by that time his sight had gone.) The servant went out and returned saying, "The people have left from subh," so Abdullah ibn Abbas got up and prayed witr and then prayed subh.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُخَارِقِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، رَقَدَ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَقَالَ لِخَادِمِهِ انْظُرْ مَا صَنَعَ النَّاسُ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ ‏.‏ فَذَهَبَ الْخَادِمُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ قَدِ انْصَرَفَ النَّاسُ مِنَ الصُّبْحِ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ ‏.‏

Muwatta Malik 285

Malik related to me that Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim heard his father al-Qasim ibn Muhammad say, "I have prayed witr after dawn." Malik said, "Only a person who oversleeps so that he does not do the witr prays it after dawn. No one should intentionally make his witr after dawn."
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، يَقُولُ إِنِّي لأُوتِرُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَإِنَّمَا يُوتِرُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ مَنْ نَامَ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ وَلاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّدَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَضَعَ وِتْرَهُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ ‏.‏

Chapter 4: The Two Rakas of Fajr

Muwatta Malik 289

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abdullah ibn Umar missed the two Rak'ahs of dawn, and then did them after the sun rose.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، فَاتَتْهُ رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ فَقَضَاهُمَا بَعْدَ أَنْ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ ‏.‏

Muwatta Malik 286

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray two quick Rak'ahs when the muadhdhin had finished the adhan for the subh prayer, before the iqama was said for the prayer.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ عَنِ الأَذَانِ لِصَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُقَامَ الصَّلاَةُ ‏.‏

Muwatta Malik 287

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray the two Rak'ahs of the dawn (fajr) so quickly that I would say to myself 'Has he recited the umm al-Qur'an or not?' "
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيُخَفِّفُ رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَقُولُ أَقَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ أَمْ لاَ

Muwatta Malik 288

Yahya related to me from Malik from Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Namir that Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman said, "Some people heard the iqama and started to pray. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and said, 'Are you doing two prayers at the same time? Are you doing two prayers at the same time?' That was about the subh prayer and the two Rak'ahs before subh."
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعَ قَوْمٌ الإِقَامَةَ، فَقَامُوا يُصَلُّونَ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَصَلاَتَانِ مَعًا أَصَلاَتَانِ مَعًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَلِكَ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ ‏.‏

Chapter 7: Prohibition against Doing the Prayer at the Hottest Hour of the Day

Muwatta Malik 28

Malik related to us from Abdullah ibn Yazid the mawla of al-Aswad ibn Sufyan, from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Thawban from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the heat is fierce delay the prayer until it gets cooler, for scorching heat is a part of the blast of Jahannam." He added, "The Fire complained to its Lord, so He allowed it two breaths in each year, a breath in winter and a breath in summer."
وَحَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، مَوْلَى الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَكَرَ ‏"‏ أَنَّ النَّارَ اشْتَكَتْ إِلَى رَبِّهَا فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ بِنَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
