malik:8-29Mālik > Balaghah

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that AIi ibn Abi Talib and Abdullah ibn Abbas used to say, "The middle prayer is the prayer of subh." Malik said, "Out of all that I have heard about the matter, I prefer what Ali ibn Abi Talib and Abdullah ibn Abbas said."  

مالك:٨-٢٩وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ

أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ الصَّلاَةُ الْوُسْطَى صَلاَةُ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَقَوْلُ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَىَّ فِي ذَلِكَ

البيهقي:١٥٠٤٩وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبُوشَنْجِيُّ نا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ نا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ مَلَّكَ امْرَأَتَهُ أَمْرَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَنْتَ الطَّلَاقُ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ أَنْتَ الطَّلَاقُ فَقَالَ بِفِيكِ الْحَجَرُ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ أَنْتَ الطَّلَاقُ فَقَالَ بِفِيكِ الْحَجَرُ وَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ مَا مَلَّكَهَا إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَكَانَ الْقَاسِمُ يُعْجِبُهُ ذَلِكَ الْقَضَاءُ وَيَرَاهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا
