حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، قَالَ : " رَآنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَأَنَا أَدْعُو ، وَأُشِيرُ بِأُصْبُعَيْنِ صَبْعٍ مِنْ كُلِّ يَدٍ فَنَهَانِي "
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Dinar that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) saw me making supplication while I was gesturing with two fingers, one finger from each hand, so he forbade me.
Hadith 506
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُرْفَعُ بِدُعَاءِ وَلَدِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ " ، وَقَالَ بِيَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَرَفَعَهُمَا
Saeed bin Musayyib used to say: Indeed, a man's rank is elevated by his son's supplication after his death, and he gestured with both hands towards the heavens and then raised them.
Hadith 507
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا فِي الدُّعَاءِ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair that this verse «﴿وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا، وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا﴾ [الإسراء: 110]» was revealed regarding supplication (dua).
Hadith 507B
قَالَ يَحْيَى : وَسُئِلَ مَالِك ، عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ ، فَقَالَ : لَا بَأْسَ بِالدُّعَاءِ فِيهَا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about supplicating during obligatory prayer. He said: There is no harm in it.
Hadith 508
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ ، وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ ، وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ ، وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِي النَّاسِ فِتْنَةً فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah! I ask You to enable me to do good deeds, to abstain from evil deeds, and to love the poor. And when You wish to send a trial upon the people, then call me to Yourself, saving me from that trial."
Hadith 509
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَا مِنْ دَاعٍ يَدْعُو إِلَى هُدًى ، إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا ، وَمَا مِنْ دَاعٍ يَدْعُو إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ ، إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ أَوْزَارِهِمْ لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا "
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever calls towards guidance will have a reward equal to that of those who follow him, without their reward being diminished in the least. And whoever calls towards misguidance will bear a sin equal to that of those who follow him, without their sin being diminished in the least."
Hadith 510
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَئِمَّةِ الْمُتَّقِينَ "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: O Allah! Make me a leader of the God-fearing.
Hadith 511
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ كَانَ يَقُومُ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ ، فَيَقُولُ : " نَامَتِ الْعُيُونُ وَغَارَتِ النُّجُومُ وَأَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that when Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) would get up at night, he used to say: "The eyes have slept and the stars have disappeared, and You, O Lord, are Living and Ever-Awake."
