malik said if he only used to urinate from a cup of water from his eyes for one day or something similar i would have considered that to be light. if he was able to pray sitting nodding his head during bowing and prostration during the forty nights i would not have seen anything wrong with that. on the authority of abu malikah that the messenger of god said whoever trims his moustache and clips his nails on friday will be protected from madness leprosy and vitiligo and he will continue to do so until the next friday and more will follow. if he reaches the age of men no one will be able to control him.
قال مالك ولو كان إنما يستلقي من قدح الماء من عينيه اليوم الواحد ونحوه لرأيت ذلك خفيفا، ولو استطاع أن يصلي جالسا يومئ برأسه في الركوع والسجود في الأربعين ليلة لم أر بذلك بأسا. وعن أبي مليكة أن رسول الله قال من أخذ من شاربه وقلم أظفاره يوم الجمعة عوفي من الجنون والجذام والبرص وإن فيكمه إلى الجمعة الأخرى وزاد غيره وإن أدرك الرجال لم يسلط عليه .
