The Story of Hisham Ibn Ammar and Imam Malik

Hisham ibn Ammar (Rahmatullah 'alaih) narrates a story that happened to him when he was 8 years old. He says,
?My father sold a house of his for 20 Dinars so that I could go for Hajj (and study Islam). When I arrived in Madinah, I went to the circle of Imam Malik. He was sitting amongst his students like a king. People would ask him questions and he would answer. When I entered the crowd and my turn came up I said, ?Haddithnee (recite to me)!? He said, ?Rather you read.? I said, ?No, you haddithnee!? Imam Malik said, ?No you read!? When I talked back and argued, he got angry and said to another student, go with this boy outside and smack him 15 times!? That student took me outside and smacked me 15 times with a stick and then brought me back to Imam Malik. I said, ?you have Dhulm (wronged) me! My father sold his house so that I could come to you and be honored by listening to your teaching and seek knowledge from you. And you smacked me 15 times without any crime on my part, I shall not forgive you!? Imam Malik then said, ?What is the expiation for this Dhulm (wronging)?? I said, ?You have to recite 15 hadiths to me, that is the expiation.? So Imam Malik began reciting the hadith to me until he completed 15. When he ended I told him, ?beat me more and read more hadith to me.? Imam Malik laughed and said, ?be off.?

They did not take the Ahadith which interpreted the leaving of Salat as Kufr mere scolding or reproof. They considered slackness and negligence in Salat as Kufr and apostasy and regarded Salat a symbol of Islam.
