Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab aboutthe word of Allah, the Majestic, the Mighty, "O you who accept, whenthe call is made for the prayer on the day of jumua, make haste to theremembrance of Allah."(Sura 62 ayat 9). Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibnal-Khattab used to recite, 'When the call is made for the prayer onthe day of jumua, go to the remembrance of Allah.' " Maliksaid, "Making haste in the Book of Allah is only deed and action.Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, says 'and when he turns away, he actsin the land' (Sura 2 ayat 205), and He, the Exalted, said, 'and as forthe one who comes to you acting with fear' (Sura 80 ayat 8), and Hesaid, 'then he turned his back, and acted' (Sura 79 ayat 22),and Hesaid, 'Your deeds are diverse' " (Sura 92 ayat 4). Malik said, "Thusmaking haste which Allah mentions in His Book is not running on thefeet or exertion. It only means deed and actions." Translation Not Available

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Abdullah ibn al-Hadfrom Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi from Abu Salama ibnAbd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abu Hurayra said, "I went out to at-Tur(Mount Sinai) and met Kab al Ahbar and sat with him. He related to methings from the Tawrah and I related to him things from the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Among the things Irelated to him was that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, said, 'The best of days on which the sun rises isthe day of jumua. In it Adam was created, and in it he fell from theGarden. In it he was forgiven, and in it he died. In it the Houroccurs, and every moving thing listens from morning till sunset inapprehension of the Hour except jinn and men. In it is a time whenAllah gives toa muslim slave standing in prayer whatever he asks for.'Kab said, 'That is one day in every year.' I said, 'No, in everyjumua.' Then Kab recited the Tawrah and said, 'The Messenger of Allahhas spoken the truth.' " Abu Hurayra continued, "I met Basraibn Abi Basra al-Ghiffari and he said, 'Where have you come from?' Isaid, 'From at-Tur.' He said, 'If I had seen you before you left, youwould not have gone.
