Malik disliked being asked about a hadith while walking in the street, standing up or when he was in a hurry. He said, "I like to ensure that people understand the sayings of the Messenger of Allah ."
Malik, neceenna raalli wax laga weydiiyay xadiis halka dhex marayay wadada, ku taagan yahay ama marka uu ahaa mid si dhaqso ah. Wuxuu yidhi, "Waan jeclahay inaan xaqiijino in dadku ay fahmaan erayada Rasuulkii Eebe."
