Malik disliked being asked about a hadith while walking in the street, standing up or when he was in a hurry. He said, "I like to ensure that people understand the sayings of the Messenger of Allah ."
Malik was transmitting some of the sayings of the Prophet and during that time Abdullah, Mubarak's son tells us that a scorpion stung him sixteen times. Malik's face changed color and became pale, but it did not stop him from continuing his teaching. At the end of the lesson, after the people departed, Abdullah said to him, "I saw you do something extraordinary today!" Malik replied, "Yes, I endured it out of respect for the Messenger of Allah ."
Mahdi's son walked with Malik to Al-'Aqiq and asked him about a Prophetic quotation and Malik reproached him saying, "You are in my eyes too good
to ask about a saying of the Prophet while we are walking."
Abdullah, Salih's son said, "Both Malik and Al-Layth would only write down a Prophetic saying when they had their ablution."
Dirar , Murra's son said that, they disliked to teach the Prophetic sayings if they were in need to renew their ablution.
The Prophet's Devotion to his Family
Wives and Descendants
An element of respect and devotion to Prophet Muhammad is one's devotion to his family, his wives who are the Mothers of Believers, and his descendants, may Allah be pleased with them, because the Prophet encouraged one to do so. Such practice was evident in the early generations of Muslims (Companions, Tabien and Tabi Tabien).
Allah said, "O family of the House, Allah only wishes to distance fault from you and cleanse you" (33:33). Allah also tells us, "his (Prophet Muhammad's) wives are their mothers" (33:6).
