Volume 6, Book 60, Number 134:
Narrated Abu Qilaba:
That he was sitting behind Umar bin Abdul Aziz and the people mentioned and mentioned (about
At-Qasama) and they said (various things), and said that the Caliphs had permitted it. ‘Umar bin ‘Ab –
dul ‘Aziz turned towards Abu Qilaba who was behind him and said. “What do you say, O ‘Abdullah
bin Zaid?” or said, “What do you say, O Abu Qilaba?” Abu Qilaba said, “I do not know that killing a
person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual inter –
course, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allah and His
Apostle.” ‘Anbasa said, “Anas narrated to us such-and-such.” Abu Qilaba said, “Anas narrated to me in
this concern, saying, some people came to the Prophet and they spoke to him saying, ‘The climate of
this land does not suit us.’ The Prophet said, ‘These are camels belonging to us, and they are to be
taken out to the pasture. So take them out and drink of their milk and urine.’ So they took them and
set out and drank of their urine and milk, and having recovered, they attacked the shepherd, killed
him and drove away the camels.’ Why should there be any delay in punishing them as they
murdered (a person) and waged war against Allah and His Apostle and frightened Allah’s Apostle ?”
Anbasa said, “I testify the uniqueness of Allah!” Abu Qilaba said, “Do you suspect me?” ‘Anbasa said,
“No, Anas narrated that (Hadith) to us.” Then ‘Anbasa added, “O the people of such-and-such (coun –
try), you will remain in good state as long as Allah keeps this (man) and the like of this (man)
amongst you.”

Volume 1, Book 12, Number 782:
Narrated Abu Qilaba:
Once Malik bin Huwairith said to his friends, “Shall I show you how Allah’s Apostle used to offer
his prayers?” And it was not the time for any of the compulsory congregational prayers. So he stood
up (for the prayer) bowed and said the Takbir, then he raised his head and remained standing for a
while and then prostrated and raised his head for a while (sat up for a while). He prayed like our
Sheikh ‘Amr Ibn Salama. (Aiyub said, “The latter used to do a thing which I did not see the people do –
ing i.e. he used to sit between the third and the fourth Rak’a). IMalik bin Huwairith said, “We came to
the Prophet (after embracing Islam) and stayed with him. He said to us, ‘When you go back to your
families, pray such and such a prayer at such and such a time, pray such and such a prayer at such
and such a time, and when there is the time for the prayer then only of you should pronounce the
Adhan for the prayer and the oldest of you should lead the prayer.”

Narrated Abu Qilaba:
Anas said, “Some people of ‘Ukl or ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them.
So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as
a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the
Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he
sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their
hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were
put in ‘Al-Harra’ and when they asked for water, no water was given to them.” Abu Qilaba said,
“Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought
against Allah and His Apostle .”
