General Subjects
Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked about a milk
camel about to be milked, "Who milks this camel?" A man stood up. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"What is your name?" The man said, "Murra (bitterness)." The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "Sit
down." Then he said, "Who milks this one?" A man stood up and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"What is your name?" He said, "Harb (war)." The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Sit down." Then he
said, "Who milks this camel?" A man stood up, and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "What is
your name?" The man said, ''Yaish (he lives)." The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "Milk!"
