Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

15
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَدْرَكْتُ النَّاسَ وَهُمْ إِذَا أَعْطَوْا فِي كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ أَعْطَوْا مُدًّا مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ بِالْمُدِّ الأَصْغَرِ وَرَأَوْا ذَلِكَ مُجْزِئًا عَنْهُمْ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي الَّذِي يُكَفِّرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ بِالْكِسْوَةِ أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَسَا الرِّجَالَ كَسَاهُمْ ثَوْبًا ثَوْبًا وَإِنْ كَسَا النِّسَاءَ كَسَاهُنَّ ثَوْبَيْنِ ثَوْبَيْنِ دِرْعًا وَخِمَارًا وَذَلِكَ أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِي كُلاًّ فِي صَلاَتِهِ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahyaibn Said that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "I understood from people thatwhen they made the kaffara for a broken oath, they gave a mudd ofwheat according to the smaller mudd. They thought that that wouldcompensate for them."Malik said, "The best of what I haveheard about the one who does kaffara for breaking his oath by clothingpeople is that if he clothes men he clothes them each in one garment.If he clothes women, he clothes them each in two garments, a longshift and a long scarf, because that is what is satisfactory for eachof them in the prayer."
