So I said to my people, "These are your charities, * Concealed in her offspring, not exposed."
He said: And it is possible that the original form of "misrah" (concealed) was "misrah" (exposed), with one of the rs replaced by an alif, similar to His saying, the Exalted: {And he has failed who buries it (Ash-Shams 9:10)}, meaning "who buries it," as they disliked the gathering of three letters of the same kind....

Chapter on the Command to Fight People Until They Say, "There is no deity but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"
Volume: (1) - Page Number: (203)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
- .... And among those who were among these preventers of zakat, there were some who would permit zakat and not withhold it, except that their leaders refrained them from that opinion and restrained their hands in this matter like the Banu Yarbu, for they had gathered their almsgivings and wanted to send them to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), but Malik ibn Nuwayrah prevented them from doing so and distributed it among them. In the matter of these people, a difference of opinion arose, and doubt fell upon Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so he consulted Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and argued with him, citing the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), "I was commanded to fight people until they say: 'There is no deity but Allah.'" So whoever says, "There is no deity but Allah" has safeguarded his life and wealth. This was from Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) an attachment to the apparent wording before he considered its conclusion and reflected on its conditions. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied to him, "Zakat is a right of wealth," meaning that the situation involved the protection of life and property contingent upon fulfilling its conditions, and a ruling dependent on two conditions cannot be established by one if the other is absent. Then he compared it to prayer and related zakat to it. In this, his statement was evidence that fighting those who refuse to pray was a consensus among the companions ....

- .... And Malik ibn Nuwayra says:
So I said to my people, "These are your offerings, preserved in their original state, not renewed."
He said: It is possible that the original form of the musara is musarra, with one of the two r's changed to a y. Al-Azhari said: In his commentary on al-Mukhtasar al-Muzani, it is permissible that it was named musara from its opposite, as al-Shafi'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said, and it is also possible that it was named musara from al-sari, which means gathering. (It is said) "I gathered the water in the basin" if you collected it, and it is also said that the water is al-sari. (And Ubayd said) "O Lord, water that is al-sari, I returned it to its path, fearful of what might happen." * Those who consider it from al-sir say: The musara was originally al-masrura, and three r's gathered, changing one to a y.

- .... Malik ibn Nuwayrah ibn Jumrah ibn Shaddad ibn Ubayd ibn Thalabah ibn Yarbou' al-Temimi al-Yarbou'i, Abu Hanzalah was his kunya, and al-Jaful was his nickname. Al-Marzubani said: He was a poet, a nobleman, and a knight, considered one of the knights of Banu Yarbou' in the pre-Islamic era and one of their dignitaries. He was one of the supporters of kings. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) had appointed him over the almsgiving (sadaqat) of his people, and when the news of the Prophet's (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) death reached him, he withheld the almsgiving and distributed it among his people. He said regarding this:
So I said, "Take your wealth, unafraid, nor looking at what comes tomorrow."
If a truthful one stands steadfast in the faith, we will obey and say, "The religion is the religion of Muhammad."

Ibn al-Athir - Asad al-Ghabah fi Ma'rifat al-Sahabah
Letter Meem - Chapter Meem and Alif - 4654: Malik ibn Nuwayrah
Volume: (5) - Page Number: (48)
[The text is long, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
- Malik ibn Nuwayrah ibn Hamzah ibn Shaddad ibn Ubayd ibn Thalabah ibn Yarbuu' al-Tamimi al-Yarbuu'i, brother of Mutammim ibn Nuwayrah came to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), embraced Islam, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) appointed him over some of the alms of the Banu Tamim. When the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) passed away, the Arabs reneged on their faith, and Sajah appeared, claiming prophethood. He made peace with her, but no apostasy was shown by him, and he remained in al-Bat hah. When Khalid finished with Banu Asad and Ghatfan, he marched to Malik and arrived at al-Bat hah but found no one there, for Malik had dispersed them and instructed them not to gather. When Khalid arrived at al-Bat hah, he sent out his detachments, and they brought Malik ibn Nuwayrah and a few of his people. The detachments disagreed about them, and among them was Abu Qatadah. He was one of those who testified that they prayed together, remained, and worshipped. He imprisoned them one night in the cold and ordered Khalid to announce, "Warm your captives," which in the language of Kinanah means killing. So, they killed them. Khalid heard the commotion and went out to see that they had been killed, then married Khalid's wife. Umar said to Abu Bakr: "The sword of Khalid is in error and he is acting with more than what is appropriate." Abu Bakr replied: "He was interpreting but made a mistake, and I will not scold a sword that Allah unleashed upon the polytheists." He paid the blood money for Malik and Khalid came to Abu Bakr. Umar said to him: "Enemy of Allah, you killed a man who was a Muslim, then you overstepped by marrying his wife. I will stone you!" It is said that when the Muslims surrounded Malik and his companions at night, they took up arms and said, "We are the Muslims." Malik's companions replied, "And we are the Muslims." They said to them, "Put down your weapons and pray." Khalid excused himself for killing him, saying that Malik had said, "I do not think your companion said anything other than this." He replied, "Do you not consider him a companion to you?" and killed him. Mutammim ibn Nuwayrah came to Abu Bakr seeking justice for his brother's blood and for them to be returned their captives. Abu Bakr ordered the return of the captives and paid the blood money for Malik from the public treasury. All of this was mentioned by al-Tabari and other imams and indicates that he did not apostatize, and they mentioned companions who were further removed than this, so their neglect of them is astonishing. There was disagreement about his apostasy, while Umar said to Khalid: "You killed a man who was a Muslim," and Abu Qatadah testified that they prayed and remained together. Abu Bakr ordered the return of the captives and gave Malik's diya from the public treasury. All of this indicates that he was a Muslim ....

- .... During the days of Abu Bakr, the Banu Yarbarakh withheld the zakat, and their leader was Malik ibn Nuwayra, a formidable Persian king and a respected poet, who had come to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and embraced Islam, and he had been appointed to oversee the charity of his people. When he withheld the zakat, Abu Bakr sent the aforementioned Malik Khalid ibn al-Walid regarding the matter of the zakat. Malik said, "I was brought to perform the prayer but not the zakat." Khalid replied, "Did you not know that both prayer and zakat must be accepted together; one cannot be accepted without the other?" Malik said, "Your companion used to say that."

Volume: (5) - Page Number: (267)
- Malik ibn Nuwayra ibn Jamra ibn Shaddad al-Yarbu'i al-Tamimi, Abu Hanzala: a knight and poet, one of the companions of kings in the Pre-Islamic Era, known as the Knight of the Veil. He was also called the Master of the Veil because of his horse. In their sayings, there is a proverb: "A young man, and there is none like you," and he possessed an air of arrogance and had a large tuft of hair. He witnessed Islam and embraced it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) appointed him to oversee the almsgivings of his people (the Banu Yarbu'). When the caliphate passed to Abu Bakr, Malik became agitated over the funds of the almsgivings and distributed them. It is said that he apostatized, so Khalid ibn al-Walid set out towards him, captured him in the Batihah, and ordered Durar ibn al-Azwar al-Asadi to kill him.

Ibn Khallikan - Wafayat al-A'yān wa Anbā' Abnā' al-Zamān - Letter Wāw - 769: Wuthaymah ibn al-Furāt
Volume: (6) - Page Number: (13/14)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
294 - The aforementioned Malik ibn Nuwairah was a dignified and noble man who would accompany kings, and there are two contexts for such accompaniment: one is that a king would ride him on his mount in hunting or other leisure activities, and the second, more honorable context is that he would follow the king when he left his judgment seat to oversee the people in his absence. This is what is meant by the expression, "He is a sight to behold, like Malik," which is used to illustrate someone of significance. Malik was a knight, a poet, and respected among his people. He exhibited some pride and held a position of advancement, and he had a large mane of hair. He was referred to as al-Jafūl. He arrived before the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) with others from the Arabs, embraced Islam, and the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) appointed him as the overseer of his people's alms. When the Arabs reneged after the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) by withholding zakat, the aforementioned Malik was among them. When Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him and her) set out to fight them during the caliphate of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), he camped with Malik, who was the leader of his people, the Banu Yarbūع, and had taken their zakat and was managing it. Khalid spoke to him about this matter. Malik replied, "I will come for prayer, but not for zakat." Khalid said to him, "Did you not know that prayer and zakat together are not accepted if one is neglected?"
