I begin with the name of Allah Ta’ala and with the assistance of Allah Ta’ala. All verbal praises, physical praises and monetary praises be for Allah Ta’ala. May the special peace of Allah Ta’ala descend upon you, O Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and Allah’s choicest mercies and blessings. May peace descend upon us and upon all the pious servants of Allah Ta’ala. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah Ta’ala and I bear witness that Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is His servant and messenger. I ask Allah Ta’ala for Paradise and I seek His refuge from Jahannum.

The Respect of Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah)

Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah) possessed great love for the land of Madinah Munawwarah. This love was on account of the love he had for Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

Allaamah Ibnu Khallikaan (rahimahullah) writes:

Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah) never rode a conveyance in the blessed city of Madinah Munawwarah. Even at the time when he grew old and became extremely weak, he preferred to walk rather than being transported by a conveyance. When Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah) was asked the reason, he mentioned, “I feel extremely difficult to ride on a conveyance in the mubaarak city of Madinah Munawwarah, whereas Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is buried beneath the ground.” (Wafayatul A’ayaan 4/136)

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
