One day Abu Ja'far, the Prince of Believers started to dispute with Malik in the Mosque of the Prophet Malik reminded him not to do that saying, "Prince of Believers, do not raise your voice in this Mosque. Allah taught us how to behave by saying, "Believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet" (49:2), and drew Ja’fars attention to, "those who lower their voice in the presence of the Messenger of Allah are those whose hearts Allah has tested for warding off (evil) (49:3) Malik also reminded him of the warning in the verse, "those who call out to you (Prophet Muhammad)" (49:4), thereby reminding Jafar that even though the Prophet had passed away the same respect due to him during his life time is due to him thereafter.
Ja'far was humbled by this reminder and asked Malik, "Abu Abdullah, when you supplicate do you face the direction of prayer or do you face the Messenger of Allah ?" Malik replied, "Why would you turn your face from him when he is your means and the means of your father Adam to Allah on the Day of Resurrection? I face the Prophet and ask him to intercede because Allah grants his intercession. Allah says, "If, when they had wrong themselves, they had come to you…" (4:64)."
Malik said of Ayyoub As-Sakhtiyani, "I do not report to you except from Ayyoub or someone better than him. I went on the Greater Pilgrimage twice and had chance to observe Ayyoub.

One day he was asked about this and replied, 'If you had seen what I have seen, you would not be surprised by this. I would observe Muhammad, Munkadir's son, the master of Koran reciters, on most occasions when he was asked about a prophetic quotation he wept until we had sympathy for him. I observed Jaf'ar, Muhammad's son who would joke and laugh a lot, but when the Prophet was mentioned in his presence, he grew pale and I never saw him relate a saying of the Messenger of Allah without first making ablution. When I used to visit him I would find him either praying, fasting or reciting the Koran. He only spoke about necessary things which were of concern to him. He was among the scholars who were knowledgeable and worshipped Allah, the Mighty the Glorified.
