| 9:352 Narrated by Malik |
| We came to the Prophet and we were young men nearly of equal ages and we stayed with him for twenty nights. Allah’s Apostle was a very kind man and when he realized our longing for our families, he asked us about those whom we had left behind. When we informed him, he said, “Go back to your families and stay with them and teach them (religion) and order them (to do good deeds). The Prophet mentioned things some of which I remembered and some I did not. Then he said, “Pray as you have seen me praying, and when it is the time of prayer, one of you should pronounce the call (Adhan) for the prayer and the eldest of you should lead the prayer.” |

| Allah’s Apostle said, “The (call for prayer) Adhan of Bilal should not stop anyone of you from taking his Suhur for he pronounces the Adhan in order that whoever among you is praying the night prayer, may return (to eat his Suhur) and whoever among you is sleeping, may get up, for it is not yet dawn (when it is like this).” (Yahya, the sub-narrator stretched his two index fingers side ways). |

| Ash-‘Sha’bi asked me, “Did you notice how Al-Hasan used to narrate Hadiths from the Prophets? I stayed with Ibn ‘Umar for about two or one-and-half years and I did not hear him narrating any thing from the Prophet except his (Hadith): He (Ibn ‘Umar) said, “Some of the companions of the Prophet including Sa’d, were going to eat meat, but one of the wives of the Prophet called them, saying, ‘It is the neat of a Mastigure.’ The people then stopped eating it. On that Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Carry on eating, for it is lawful.’ Or said, ‘There is no harm in eating it, but it is not from my meals.” |
