[Machine] I heard Malik saying, "The indulgence of people in the remembrance of Allah is not one that can be compared to anything else." He said, "I also heard Malik saying, 'One of them goes and marries a woman from the noble ranks of the Haram (Kaaba).' It was said during Malik's time that the women from the noble ranks of the Haram were the most beautiful of people. Or, he goes and marries a woman whom her parents have adorned and decorated to the extent that she seems like a cream, then he marries her and falls in love with her. He asks her, 'What do you desire?' She says, 'The scarf of my beauty.' He asks her, 'What else do you desire?' She says, 'Such and such.' Malik said, 'By Allah, the religion of the reader of this is ruined, and he stops himself from marrying an orphan girl who is weak, and clothes her, so he can earn reward."  

سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ «مَا تَنَعَّمَ الْمُتَنَعِّمُونَ بِمِثْلِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ»

قالَ: وسَمِعْتُ مالِكًا يَقُولُ: «يَنْطَلِقُ أحَدُهُمْ فَيَتَزَوَّجُ دِيباجَةَ الحَرَمِ قالَ: وكانَ يُقالُ فِي زَمانِ مالِكٍ: دِيباجَةُ الحَرَمِ أجْمَلُ النّاسِ، وخاتُونُ امْرَأةُ مَلِكِ الرُّومِ أوْ يَنْطَلِقُ إلى جارِيَةٍ قَدْ سَمَّنَها أبَواها وتَرَّفُوها حَتّى كَأنَّها زُبْدَةٌ فَيَتَزَوَّجُها فَتَأْخُذُ بِقَلْبِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَها: أيُّ شَيْءٍ تُرِيدِينَ؟ فَتَقُولُ: خِمارَ حُسْنى، وأيُّ شَيْءٍ تُرِيدِينَ؟ فَتَقُولُ: كَذا وكَذا، قالَ مالِكٌ: فَتَمَرَّطَ واللَّهِ دِينُ ذَلِكَ القارِئِ، ويَدَعُ أنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ يَتِيمَةً ضَعِيفَةً فَيَكْسُوَها فَيُؤْجَرَ»
