Narrated Yala bin Umayyah: I remarked to Umar al-Khattab: Have you seen the shortening of the prayer by the people today while Allah has said: "If you fear that those who are infidels may afflict you", whereas those days are gone now? He replied: I have wondered about the same matter for which you wondered. So I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: It is an act of charity which Allah has done to you, so accept his charity.

Narrated Yala ibn Umayyah: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was at al-Ji'ranah. He was wearing perfume or the mark of saffron was on him and he was wearing a tunic. He said: Messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do while performing my Umrah. In the meantime, Allah, the Exalted, sent a revelation to the Prophet ﷺ. When he (the Prophet) came to himself gradually, he asked: Where is the man who asking about Umrah? (When the man came) he (the Prophet) said: Wash the perfume which is on you, or he said: (Wash) the mark of saffron (the narrator is doubtful), take off the tunic, then do in your Umrah as you do in your hajj.

This tradition has also been narrated by Yala bin Umayyah through a different chain of narrators. This version adds The Prophet ﷺ said to him “Take off your tunic”. He then took it off from his head. The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition.

This tradition has also been transmitted by Yala bin Umayyah through a different chain of narrators. This version adds The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to take it off (the tunic) and to take a bath twice or thrice. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition.

It is narrated by Yala bin Umayyah that a man came to Prophet ﷺ at Ji’ranah, putting on ihram for ‘Umrah. He had a cloak on him and his beard and head had been dyed.

Narrated Yala: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went round the House (the Kabah) wearing a green Yamani mantle under his right armpit with the end over his left shoulder.

Narrated Yala ibn Umayyah: The Prophet ﷺ said: Hoarding up food (to sell it at a high price) in the sacred territory is a deviation (from right to wrong).

Narrated Yala ibn Munyah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ announced an expedition, and I was a very old man and I had no servant. I, therefore, sought a hireling who would serve instead of me, and I would give him his portion. So I found a man. When the time of departure arrived, he came to me and said: I do not know what would be the portions, and how much would be my portion. So offer something (as wages) to me, whether there would be any portion or not. I offered three dinars (as his wages) for him. When some booty arrived, I wanted to offer him his portion. But I remembered the dinars, so I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned the matter to him. He said: All I can find for him regarding this expedition of his in this world and the next is three dinars which were offered him.

Narrated Yala ibn Umayyah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: When my messengers come to you, give them thirty coats of mail, and thirty camels. I asked: Messenger of Allah, is it a loan with a guarantee of its return, or a loan to be paid back? He replied: It is a loan to be paid back.

Safwan bin Yala quoting his father said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ read on the pulpit the verse: "They will cry: O Malik. " Abu Dawud said: That is, without shortening the name (Malik).

Narrated Yala: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man washing in a public place without a lower garment. So he mounted the pulpit, praised and extolled Allah and said: Allah is characterised by modesty and concealment. So when any of you washes, he should conceal himself.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Yala from the Prophet ﷺ through a different chain of narrators. Abu Dawud said: The former is more perfect.

Narrated Safwan bin Yala: On this father's authority, said: A servant of mine fought with a man and bit his hand and he drew away his hand. (One of) his front teeth fell out. So he came to the Prophet ﷺ who imposed no retaliation for his tooth, saying: Do you intend that he leaves his hand in your mouth so that you crunch it like a male camel ? He said: Ibn Abi Mulaikah told me on the authority of his grandfather that Abu Bakr (ra) imposed no retaliation on him for it, saying: May his tooth go away!

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Yala bin Umayyah through a different chain of narrators. This version has: The Prophet ﷺ said to the man bit him: If you wish that you give him control over your hand and he bites it, and then you drive it away from his mouth (you may do it). He imposed no retaliation for his teeth.
