  • Bukhari ki ek hadith me aya hai ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ke 99we naam hain, yani 100 me ek kum, jo koi inn ko jaanta hai, wo jannat me jayega.[2]
  • Bukhari ke ek aur version me aya hai ke, jo koi inn asma ke maano ko jaanta hai aur unn ke mutabiq amal karta hai to wo jannat me jayega, aur Allah ek hai ya witr hai aur wo witr ko, odd ko pasand karta hai.[3]
  • Phir Bukhari hi ki ek aur hadith me aya hai ke, jo koi inn ko yaad kar lega, wo jannat me jayega, aur inn asmaa ki ginti karna unn ko yaad karna hai.[4]
  • Ibn Majah ki ek hadith me 99we naam diye gaye hain, jin me al-Aleem aur al-Alim, aye hain.[5] Iss hadith ko Darussalam ne daif qaraar diya hai, aur Tirmidhi ki ek aur hadith me bhi 99 naam aye hain, lekin uss hadith me Allah ka naam al-Alim nahi hai, sirf al-Aleem aya hai, aur iss hadith ko al-Albani ne daif qaraar diya hai.[6]
  • Ibn Hibban ne bhi Sahih sanad ke saath 99 Asmaa al-Husna apni kitab me darj kiye hai, jis me bhi Allah ka naam al-Aleem hi aya hai,[7]
  • Lekin, Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, apni kitab Buloogh al-Maram me, Asmaa al-Husna ki tamam ahadith par tehqeeq ke baad likhte hain ke, Tirmidhi aur Ibn Hibban ne Asmaa al-Husna apni kitabon me darj kiye hain, lekin tehqeeq karne par pata chala ke, ye Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke alfaaz nahi hain.[8]
  • Balke, Tirmidhi khud daif hadith ke baare me likhte hain ke, Asmaa al-Husna ka zikr kisi sahih sanad se sabit nahi hai, aur namo ki fehrist ki kamzori par tafseel aur jaiza Fath al-Bari me diya gaya hai, jo ke Hafiz Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani ki doosri kitab jo Sahih al-Bukhari ki tafseer hai.[9]
  • Hamare ustaad Dr. Aneesuddin sahab ne, Asmaa al-Husna par kitab likha, “Attributes of Allah – Explained exclusively through the Quran” ke naam se, jo Asmaa – Quran se sabit hain, sirf wohi apni kitab me darj kiye hain, jis me teen Asmaa unhone shamil kiye hain;
    • Pehla hai al-Aleem,
    • Doosra hai Aalim, jaisa Quran me Aalim al-Ghaibi wa ash-Shahada aya hai, aur
    • Teesra hai Allaam, Allaam al-Ghuyoob aya hai Quran me.
    • Inn Asmaa al-Husna ki tafseel hum silsilawaari tarteeb se parrhte huwe jab Asmaa ayenge, hum wahan bayan karenge.
    • Abhi iss ki tafseel bayan karne ki gunjaish nahi.

Seekhna aur Sikhaana

    • Musa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne kaha, haan,
    • Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne farmaya ke, phir kya tum mujhay iss baat ka zimmadar thehraate ho, jo meri paidaish se pehle taqdeer me likh di gayee thi?[11]
  • Ahmad aur Tirmidhi ki ahadith, Farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, Allah ne apni khilqat ko andhere me paida kiya aur uss par apna noor dala. Jis par Allah ka noor pada unhone hidayat payee aur jin par Allah ka noor nahi pada wo gumrah huwe.
    • Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, iss liye main kehta hoon ke, qalam ke paas Allah ke ilm me se, likhne ke liye kuch baqi nahi hai.[12]

  • Baihaqi ki hadith, farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, do qism ke lalchi log kabhi mutmain nahi hote, ek jisay ilm ki lalach hai, aur doosra jisay duniya ki cheezon ki lalach hai.[13]
  • Abu Dawood ki ek lambi hadith me, Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz se kisi ne khatt ke zariye, Taqdeer ke baare me poocha to unhe ne uss ke jawab me – sawal karne wale ko hukum diya ke, sunnat ki pairwi karo aur sahaba ka tareeqa ikhtiyar karo, kyun ke, unhe yani ke sahaba radi Allahu anhum ko mukammal ilm tha – jo unhone Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se seekha tha.[14]
  • Ek Muttafiqun alaih hadith, jise Tirmidhi ne bhi riwayat kiya hai, RasoolAllah (صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) se kuch yahoodiyon ne poocha ke:
    • Rooh kya hai? Ussi waqt wahi nazil huwi aur Surah Isra ki 85wi ayat nazil huwi;
    • Aur Aye Nabi (صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ), ye log aap se Rooh ke baare me poochte hain, farma dijiye ke rooh, mere paalne wale malik ke hukum se hai, aur tumhe iss ka bohot hi kum ilm diya gaya hai (17:85).[15]
    • Iss par yahoodiyon ne kaha ke, Hume be-panah ilm diya gaya hai, hume taurait di gayee hai, aur jis ko tauraat di gayee, usay yaqeenan ilm ki daulat di gayee.
    • Iss par Surah Kahf ki 109wi ayat nazil huwi, Aye Nabi (صلى الله عليه وسلم), aap keh dijiye ke agar samandar siyahi / ink ban jaye mere paalne wale malik ke kalimaat likhne ke liye, to iss se pehle ke mere paalne wale malik ki batein khatam ho, samandar khatam ho jayenge, agar-che Hum waisa hi ek aur samandar uss ki madad ke liye layein (18:109).[16]

  • Tirmidhi ki ek hadith, farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, ye duniya chaar qism ke logon ke liye hai;
    • Pehla, wo shakhs jisay Allah ne dowlat aur ilm diya, to iss ke ewaz wo Allah se darta hai, apne rishtedaaron ka khayal karta hai, aur Allah ka haq uss par kya hai jaanta hai aur usay poora karta hai, to aisa shakhs jannat me aala muqaam par hoga,
    • Doosra, wo shakhs jisay Allah ne ilm diya, dowlat nahi diya, to wo apni niyyat ko saaf rakhta hai, aur kehta hai ke, agar mere paas dowlat hoti to main bhi fulan shakhs ki tara amal karta, to agar uss ki niyyat saaf hai to uss ko ajar bhi waise hi hoga, jis ki tarah wo banna chahta hai,
    • Teesra, wo shakhs jisay Allah ne dowlat di, ilm nahi diya, to wo apni dowlat ko apni la ilmi ki wajah se zaya karta hai, Allah se nahi darta apne amaal ki wajah se, rishtedaaron ka khayal nahi rakhta, aur Allah ka haq uss par jo hai, wo poora nahi karta, to aisa shakhs qiyamat ke din bohot hi buray haal me hoga,
    • Chohta, wo shakhs jisay Allah ne na to dowlat di aur na ilm, to wo kehta hai ke, agar mere paas dowlat hoti to main bhi fulan shakhs ki tarah, fuzool kharch kartay huwe, dowlat ko zaya kar deta, to uss ki iss niyyat ki wajah se gunah hoga, uss shakhs ki tarah jo dowlat zaya kar raha hai.[18]

Faidamand ya Nafabakhsh Ilm

  • Iss se pehle humne hadith suni thi ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke Allah se nafa-Bakhsh ilm maango, issi silsile me Nasai, Abu Dawood aur Ibn Majah ki ahadith, farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, Allah chaar cheezon se panah mango;
    • Aisa ilm jis me koi faida nahi,
    • Aisa dil jo humble nahi, aajiz nahi,
    • Aisi dua jo qabool na ho, aur
    • Aisi nafs ya soul jo kabhi mutmain nahi ya satisfy nahi hoti. [19]
  • Abu Dawood ki ek lambi hadith, farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, ye behtar hai ki insaan ka pett peep se bhar jaye, banizbat shayeri se bharne ke. Iss ka matlab ye hai ke, insaan shayeri me itna doob jaye ke, Quran ko aur Allah ke zikr ko bhool jaye. Agar Quran aur Ilm hai to phir insan ka pett shayeri se nahi bharega…[20]

Qiyamat ke aane ka Ilm

  • Ye hadith iman aur islam par bohot hi mashhoor hai aur tamam kitabon me maujood hai, Jibrail (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) – insan ki shakal me aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke paas aatay, jab ke aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) apne sahaba ke sath baitthe huwe the, aur ye sawal karte hain:
    • Iman kya hai? aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) jawab dete hain ke, Iman ye hai ke, Allah ko maan le yani Allah par iman laye, uss ke farishton par, uss se milne ya yaqeen ho, uss ke rasoolon par aur Qiyamat ke din par,
    • Jibaril (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne phir poocha, Islam Kya hai? aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne jawab diya ke, Sirf Allah ki ibadat karna aur kisi ki nahi, namaz qaim karna, zakat dena, ramadan ke mahine ke roze rakhna,
    • Jibaril (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne phir poocha, Ihsan Kya hai? aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne jawab diya ke, Allah ki ibadat aise karna ke, tum uss ko dekh rahe ho, aur agar aisa level nahi la sakte to, kum-az-kum, ye khayal karna ke, wo hum dekh raha hai,
    • Jibaril (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne phir poocha, Qiyamat kab ayegi? aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne jawab diya ke, Jawab dene wale ka ilm Qiyamat ke baare me utna hi hai, jitna sawal karne wale ko hai, lekin main uss ki kuch nishaniyan batata hoon ke, jab ek aurat apne aqa ko janam degi, aur jab kaale oontt charane wale – oonchi oonchi imarat banane me ek doosre se muqabla karenge aur Qiyamat ke aane ki ghadi, unn paanch cheezon me se hai jis ka ilm Allah ke siway kisi ko nahi…[21]
  • Sahih Muslim ki ek hadith, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke inteqaal se ek mahina pehle aap ne farmaya ke, tum logon ne mujh se qiyamat ke aane ke baare me poocha, jab ke uss ka ilm sirf Allah ke paas hai, lekin main ye qasam kha ker kehta hoon ke, jo koi aaj zinda hai unn me se koi nahi bachega 100 saal ke khatam hone tak.[22] Baaz logon ne iss hadith ko sahaba ki zindagi se murad liya aur 100 AH tak tamam sahaba ka inteqaal ho chuka tha. Aur baaz ne iss hadith se ye samjha ke, logon ki zindagi kum ho jayegi.[23]

Quran ka Ilm aakhri hidayat

  • Bukhari ki ek hadith, Abdullah ibn Abbas (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne farmaya ke, Aye Musalmano! tum ahle kitab se kin cheezon ke baare me sawal karte ho, jab ke Quran, jisay Allah ne apne nabi par nazil kiya, uss me Allah ki taraf se latest news ya taza tareen khabar maujood hai, jo paak hai aur jis me koi tabdeeli nahi ho sakti?
    • Jab ke Allah ne farmaya ke, ahle kitab apni kitabon me tehreef kar chuke hain, Allah ki bheji huwi pichli kitabon me apne hathon se changes kar diye hain, aur ye log kehte hain ke, ye Allah ki taraf se hai. Takay iss tehreef se, iss change ke zariye wo iss duniya ka kuch faida hasil kare.
    • Kya ye jo ilm Allah ki taraf se tumhare paas aya hai, tumhe rokega nahi, Ahle kitab se sawal karne se,
    • Allah ki qasam, humne to unn ka koi shakhs nahi dekha jo tumhari kitab ke bare me sawal karta ho…[24]

Kisi cheez ka jaanna (know or knowing)

  • Ibn Majah ki hadith, jis me Ali (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) se poocha gaya ke, kya aap ke paas aisa koi ilm hai, jo doosre log nahi jaante? Ali (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne jawab diya ke, nahi, Allah ki qasam, hume to wohi ilm hai jo logon ko maloom hai, siway iss ke, ke Allah kisi shakhs ko Quran ki samajh de de, aur jo kuch is kaghaz par likha hai – jisay Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne mere hawale kiya tha, aur jis par blood money ke rules, ya khoon baha jise kehte hain, uss ke qawaneen darj hain, aur iss me ye likha huwa hai ke, kisi Musalman ko kafir ke qatl ke badle me, qatl na kiya jaye.[25]
  • Ibn Majah ki hadith, farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, Logon ke dar se koi sachai, chhupana nahi chahiye, agar wo jaanta hai…[26]
    • Hum log to aisi kitni cheezein chhupate hain, logon ke dar se…
  • Bukhari ki iss lambi hadith me, agar kisi par tohmat lagi ho, to jo leader hai wo ye declare kar sakta hai ke, maine uss shakhs ke baare me koi burai nahi jaanta…[27]
  • Muslim aur Tirmidhi ki ahadith me, Lailatul Qadr ke baare me Ubayy ibn Kaab (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) se poochha gaya ke aap kaise jaante hain ke, Lailatul Qadr 27wi raat ko hai? Unhone jawab diya ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne hume bataya ke, Lailatul Qadr wo raat hai, jis ke baad sooraj baghair shua’on ke tulu hota hai. Sooraj me tezi nahi hoti, to humne ginti ki aur hume yaad hai. Ubayy ibn Kaab (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) agay farmaya ke, Ibn Masoud (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ko bhi yaad tha, lekin unhone logon ko nahi bataya, kahin aisa na ho ke, log iss baat par bharosa karein yani doosri taakh raaton ko ibadat chhorrh de.[28]

Jiss cheez ka ilm na ho

  • Iss se pehle humne iss section me hadith suni ke, agar kisi ko ilm na ho kisi cheez ke baare me to wo, Allahu Alam kahe, jis par aur bhi ahadith ayee hain…[29]
  • Abu Dawood ki hadith jis me, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Ali (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ko Yemen ka qazi bana kar bhejte hain, to Ali (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) poochhte hain ke, kya aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) mujhe bhej rahe hain, jab ke main kum umar hoon aur mujhe qazi ki zimmadariyon ka ilm nahi? To aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Allah tumhare qalb ko hidayat karega aur tumhari zaban ko haq ke raaste par rakhega. Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) unhe naseehat ki, do fareeqon ke beech kaise faisla karna hai…[30]
  • Sahih Muslim ki ek lambi hadith me aya hai ke, Abdullah bin Saleem ne farmaya ke, kisi ko wo nahi kehna chahiye jo wo nahi jaanta…[31]
  • Bukhari aur deegar ahadith me aya hai ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Qiyamat ke din, kuch log Hauz-e-Kauther par mere paas ayenge, aur unhe wahan se door kar diya jayega, to main kahoonga, Aye mere paalne wale malik, ye mere ashaab hain! Kaha jayega ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko iss baat ka ilm nahi ke, aap ke inteqaal ke baad, inhone kya kya nayee cheezen deen me dakhil kar di thi…[32]
  • Adab al-Mufrad ki hadith, Saad ibn Abi Waqqas farmate hain ke, 4 ayaat mere baare me nazil huwi, jis me se ek ayat thi, jab meri walida ne qasam khayi ke, jab tak main, Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko chhorrh na doon, wo na khayengi aur na kuch piyengi, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ne, Surah Luqman ki 15wi ayat nazil ki;
    • Aur agar wo tum par dabao daalein ke tum mere saath shirk karo, uss cheez ko jis ka tumhare paas ilm nahi to unn ki baat matt maano aur duniya me, unn ke saath achi tarah ya nek bartao karte raho…(31:15).
    • Aur teen ayaat nazil huwi, yahan bayan karne ki gunjaish nahi, phir kabhi bayan karenge…[33]

Ahl-e-Ilm (Ilm Wale)

  • Lafz-e-Ahl-e-Ilm ahadith me baar baare aya hai.
  • Tirmidhi ki hadith jis me Abu Humaid (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) farmate hain ke, mujhe sab se zyada ilm hai ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki salaat kaisi thi…[34]
  • Nasai, Abu Dawood aur Muslim ki ahadith jo imamat par ayee hai, uss me Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Imam wo banay jo Quran ko achi tarah se jaanta ho, agar wahan maujood sab log Quran achi taraf jaante hain to phir, imamat wo kare jis ke paas Sunnat ka ilm zyada ho, aur agar iss me bhi sab barabar hain to phir, imamat wo kare unn me sab se pehle hijrat ki ho, agar iss me bhi sab barabar hain to phir, imamat wo kare jo unn me umar me sab se bada ho…[35]
  • Muslim aur Abu Dawood ki ahadith, Ubayy bin Kaab se, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne poocha ke, Quran ki kaun si ayat sab se azeem hai? Jab unhone kaha ke, Ayat al-Kursi, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne unhe mubarakbaad di ke, ilm tumhe mubarak ho.[36]
  • Tirmidhi ki hadith, Muadh bin Jabal (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne farmaya ke, Sahaba me ilm chaar logon se seekho,
    • Uwaimir Abu ad-Darda,
    • Salman al-Farisi,
    • Abdullah Ibn Masood,
    • aur Abdullah bin Salam (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُم).[37]
  • Aisha (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا) ki fazeelat aur jo ilm unhone Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) wo kayee ahadith se sabit hota hai, unn ke jo sawal jo unhone aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se kiye aur Qurani ayaat ki samajh boojh, kayee sahaba se behtar thi, kyun ke, unhone aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se pehli hi unn ayaat ke maane pooch liya tha.[38]
  • Kayee ahl-e-Ilm Madina me raha karte the, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke zamane ke baad tak, Sahaba (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُم) ka wahan hona, unn ke baad unn ke shagirdon ka wahan hona Madina ko Ilm ka markaz bana diya tha.[39]

Ijazat

  • Bukhari ki hadith, jis me aya hai ke, aurat ki ijazat ke baghair uss ki shadi tayy nahi ki ja sakti ya baghair uss ke ilm me laye huwe uss ki shadi tayy nahi ki ja sakti.[40]

Bekar Ilm (Useless Knowledge)

  • Bukhari, Muslim aur Adab al-Mufrad ki ahadith, farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, log ilm ke baare me, ya jo cheezen jo maujood nahi ke baare me iss hadd tak sawal karte rahenge, yahan tak ke wo kahenge, Allah ne hume paida kiya, to Allah ko kis ne paida kiya…[41]
    • Muslim hi ki ek aur hadith me, Abu Hurairah farmate hain ke, ek waqt kuch baddu aye aur unhone, yehi sawal kiya, Allah aur uss ke rasool ne sach kaha.[42]
    • Muslim aur Abu Dawood ki ahadith me aya hai ke, Shaitan tumhare paas ayega aur aise sawal karega, agar kisi se aisa sawal kiya jaye, to wo kahe, Aamantu Billahi “Main Allah par Iman Rakhta hoon” aur apne khayalat ko udhar jaane se roke.[43]
    • Ye sawal aaj bhi ho raha hai. Ye useless knowledge hai, jaisa science ki field me kuch aise sawal hain, jo na-munasib hain, illogical hain, absurd hain. Science ke paas uss ka jawab nahi, kyun ke, ye samjha jata hai ke, aise sawal karna hi nahi chahiye.
    • Ussi tarah
  • Tirmidhi ki ek lambi hadith me, Ilm-e-Nujoom ka zikr hai, what the stars foretell, aaj bhi hum me se bohot saare log iss ko follow karte hain, insaan ko shuru se shawq hai future ke baare me maloom karne ka.[44]
    • Kayee ahadith ayee hain, jis me aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne;
    • mana farmaya kahin ke paas jaane se,[45]
    • aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, ilm-e-nujoom ya astrology ka ilm hasil karna, magic ya jadoo ka ilm hasil karne ke barabar hai, aur aap ne farmaya kahin kuch aur nahi, ek jadoogar hai, aur jadoogar kafir hota hai.[46]
    • aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne teen cheezon par paise kharch karne se mana kiya hai, jiss me se ek, Kahin ko paise dena hai.[47]
    • aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, kahin ki koi baat agar sach hoti hai to wo aisi haqeeqat hai, jo jinno ne aasmaan se todh laye aur kahin ko bataya, aur kahin uss ek sach me 100 jhoot shamil karke logon ko batata hai.[48]
    • To phir hum kyun jaate hain kahin ke paas, kyun follow karte hain, What the stars foretell. Jab ke hume iss baat ka yaqeen hona chahiye ke ye sab jhoot hai?

Poochna

  • Ilm seekhne ke mamele me, kisi wajah se sawal karne se hich-kichana nahi chahiye, issi silsile me ek hadith, Ibn Abbas (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) kisi ayat ki tashreeh Umar (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) se poochna chahte the, lekin himmat nahi juta pa rahe the. Umar (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne farmaya ke, tumhe koi sawal ho to bila-jhijak poochh lo, aur agar mujhe kisi cheez ka ilm hoga to main tumhe bata doonga.[49]

Yahan Dars rok denge, next Saturday In Sha Allah iss ki tafseel agay sunenge.

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَفِظْنَاهُ مِنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رِوَايَةً قَالَ ‏ “‏ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ اسْمًا، مِائَةٌ إِلاَّ وَاحِدًا، لاَ يَحْفَظُهَا أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَهْوَ وَتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوَتْرَ ‏”‏‏.‏

[11] Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu’z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Adam and Musa argued and Adam got the better of Musa. Musa rebuked Adam, ‘You are Adam who led people astray and brought them out of the Garden.’ Adam said to him, ‘You are Musa to whom Allah gave knowledge of everything and whom he chose above people with His message.’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Do you then censure me for a matter which was decreed for me before I was created?’ “

[12] ‘Abdallah b. ‘Amr reported that he heard God’s messenger say, “God created His creatures in darkness and cast some of His light upon them. Those on whom some of that light falls will have guidance, but those who are missed by it will go astray. On that account I say that the pen has no more to write about God’s knowledge.” [Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted it.]

[14] Sufyan said (according to one chain), and Abu al-Salit said (according to another chain): A man wrote to ‘Umar b. ‘Abd al-Aziz asking him about Divine decree. He wrote to him: To begin with, I enjoin upon you to fear Allah, to be moderate in (obeying) His Command, to follow the sunnah (practice) of His Prophet (ﷺ) and to abandon the novelties which the innovators introduced after his Sunnah has been established and they were saved from its trouble (i.e. novelty or innovation) ; so stick to Sunnah, for it is for you, if Allah chooses, a protection ; then you should know that any innovation which the people introduced was refuted long before it on the basis of some authority or there was some lesson in it, for the Sunnah was introduced by the people who were conscious of the error, slip, foolishness, and extremism in case of (the sunnah) was opposed. So accept for yourself what the people (in the past) had accepted for themselves, for they had complete knowledge of whatever they were informed, and by penetrating insight they forbade (to do prohibited acts); they had more strength (than us) to disclose the matters (of religion), and they were far better (than us) by virtue of their merits. If right guidance is what you are following, then you outstriped them to it. And if you say whatever the novelty occurred after them was introduced by those who followed the way other then theirs and disliked them. It is they who actually outstripped, and talked about it sufficiently, and gave a satisfactory explanation for it. Below them there is no place for exhaustiveness, and above them there is no place for elaborating things. Some people shortened the matter more than they had done, and thus they turned away (from them), and some people raised the matter more than they had done, and thus they exaggerated. They were on right guidance between that. You have written (to me) asking about confession of Divine decree, you have indeed approached a person who is well informed of it, with the will of Allah. I know what whatever novelty people have brought in, and whatever innovation people have introduced are not more manifest and more established than confession of Divine decree. The ignorant people (i.e. the Arabs before Islam) in pre-Islamic times have mentioned it ; they talked about it in their speeches and in their poetry. They would console themselves for what they lost, and Islam then strengthened it (i.e. belief in Divine decree). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not mention it in one or two traditions, but the Muslims heard it from him, and they talked of it from him, and they talked of it during his lifetime and after his death. They did so out of belief and submission to their Lord and thinking themselves weak. There is nothing which is not surrounded by His knowledge, and not counted by His register and not destined by His decree. Despite that, it has been strongly mentioned in His Book: from it they have derived it, and from it they have and so ? they also read in it what you read, and they knew its interpretation of which you are ignorant. After that they said: All this is by writing and decreeing. Distress has been written down, and what has been destined will occur ; what Allah wills will surely happen, and what He does not will will not happen. We have no power to harm or benefit ourselves. Then after that they showed interest (in good works) and were afraid (of bad deeds).

Some of them said, ‘We should question him.’ Others said: ‘Do not question him for he might tell you something that you do not like.’ They said to him: ‘O Abul-Qasim, narrated to us about the Ruh.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) stood for some time, he raised his head toward the heavens, and I recognized revelation was coming to him, until the revelation ceased. Then he (ﷺ) said: “The Ruh is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you have been given only a little (17:85).'”

(3) He who opens a gate of begging, Allah opens a gate of poverty (or he said a word similar to it).” He (ﷺ) also said, “Remember well what I am going to tell you: The world is for four kinds of people. (1) One upon whom Allah has bestowed wealth and knowledge and so he fears his Rubb in respect to them, joins the ties of blood relationship and acknowledges the Rights of Allah on him (and fulfills them); this type will have the best position (in Jannah). (2) One upon whom Allah has conferred knowledge but no wealth, and he is sincere in his intention and says: ‘Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so.’ If that is his intention, his reward is the same as that of the other. (3) One whom Allah has given wealth but no knowledge and he squanders his wealth ignorantly, does not fear Allah in respect to it, does not discharge the obligations of kinship and does not acknowledge the Rights of Allah. Such a person will be in the worst position (in the Hereafter). (4) One upon whom Allah has bestowed neither wealth nor knowledge and he says: ‘Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so (i.e., he would squander his wealth).’ If this is his intention, both will have equal sin.” [At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih].

وعن أبي كبشة عمرو بن سعد الأنمارى رضي الله عنه أنه سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول‏:‏ ‏”‏ثلاثة أقسم عليهن وأحدثكم حديثاً فاحفظوه‏:‏ ما نقص مال عبد من صدقة،ولا ظلم عبد مظلمة صبر عليها إلا زاده الله عزاً، ولا فتح عبد باب مسألة إلا فتح الله عليه باب فقر، أو كلمة نحوها وأحدثكم حديثاً فاحفظوه قال‏:‏ إنما الدنيا لأربعة نفر‏:‏ عبد رزقه الله مالاً وعلماً، فهو يتقى فيه ربه، ويصل فيه رحمه، ويعلم لله فيه حقاً فهذا بأفضل المنازل‏.‏ وعبد رزقه الله علماً، ولم يرزقه مالاً فهو صادق النية يقول‏:‏ لو أن لى مالاً لعملت بعمل فلان، فهو بنيته فأجرهما سواء‏.‏ وعبد رزقه الله مالاً، ولم يرزقه علماً، فهو يخبط فى ماله بغير علم، لا يتقى فيه ربه ولا يصل فيه رحمه، ولا يعلم لله فيه حقاً، فهذا بأخبث المنازل‏.‏ وعبد لم يرزقه الله مالاً ولا علماً، فهو يقول‏:‏ لو أن لى مالاً لعملت فيه بعمل فلان، فهو بنيته، فوزرهما سواء” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذى وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

[19] It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Amr that: The Prophet [SAW] used to seek refuge (with Allah) from four things: From knowledge that is of no benefit, from a heart that does not feel humble, from a supplication that is not heard, and a soul that is never satisfied.

[20] Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying: it is better for a man’s belly to be full of pus than to be full of poetry. Abu ‘Ali said : I have been told that Abu ‘Ubaid said : It means that his heart is full of poetry so much so that it makes him neglectful of the Quran and remembrance of Allah. If the Quran and the knowledge (of religion) are dominant, the belly will not be full of poetry in our opinion. Some eloquent speech is magic. It means that a man expresses his eloquence by praising another man, and he speaks the truth about him so much so that he attracts the hearts to his speech. He then condemns him and speaks the truth about him so much so that he attracts the hearts to another of his speech, as if he spelled the audience by it.

[21] Narrated Abu Huraira: One day while the Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, “What is faith?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, ‘Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection.” Then he further asked, “What is Islam?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan.” Then he further asked, “What is Ihsan (perfection)?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you.” Then he further asked, “When will the Hour be established?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents. 1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. 2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) then recited: “Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour–.” (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion.” Abu ‘Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.

How can you ask the people of the Scriptures about anything while your Book which Allah has revealed to your Prophet contains the most recent news from Allah and is pure and not distorted? Allah has told you that the people of the Scriptures have changed some of Allah’s Books and distorted it and wrote something with their own hands and said, ‘This is from Allah, so as to have a minor gain for it. Won’t the knowledge that has come to you stop you from asking them? No, by Allah, we have never seen a man from them asking you about that (the Book Al-Qur’an ) which has been revealed to you.

[27] Narrated Aisha: When there was said about me what was said which I myself was unaware of, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) got up and addressed the people. He recited Tashah-hud, and after glorifying and praising Allah as He deserved, he said, “To proceed: O people Give me your opinion regarding those people who made a forged story against my wife. By Allah, I do not know anything bad about her. By Allah, they accused her of being with a man about whom I have never known anything bad, and he never entered my house unless I was present there, and whenever I went on a journey, he went with me.” Sa`d bin Mu`adh got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) Allow me to chop their heads off”. Then a man from the Al-Khazraj (Sa`d bin ‘Ubada) to whom the mother of (the poet) Hassan bin Thabit was a relative, got up and said (to Sa`d bin Mu`adh), “You have told a lie! By Allah, if those persons were from the Aus Tribe, you would not like to chop their heads off.” It was probable that some evil would take place between the Aus and the Khazraj in the mosque, and I was unaware of all that. In the evening of that day, I went out for some of my needs (i.e. to relieve myself), and Um Mistah was accompanying me. On our return, Um Mistah stumbled and said, “Let Mistah. be ruined” I said to her, “O mother Why do you abuse your Son” On that Um Mistah became silent for a while, and stumbling again, she said, “Let Mistah be ruined” I said to her, “Why do you abuse your son?” She stumbled for the third time and said, “Let Mistah be ruined” whereupon I rebuked her for that. She said, “By Allah, I do not abuse him except because of you.” I asked her, “Concerning what of my affairs?” So she disclosed the whole story to me. I said, “Has this really happened?” She replied, “Yes, by Allah.” I returned to my house, astonished (and distressed) that I did not know for what purpose I had gone out. Then I became sick (fever) and said to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) “Send me to my father’s house.” So he sent a slave with me, and when I entered the house, I found Um Rum-an (my mother) downstairs while (my father) Abu Bakr was reciting something upstairs. My mother asked, “What has brought you, O (my) daughter?” I informed her and mentioned to her the whole story, but she did not feel it as I did. She said, “O my daughter! Take it easy, for there is never a charming lady loved by her husband who has other wives but that they feel jealous of her and speak badly of her.” But she did not feel the news as I did. I asked (her), “Does my father know about it?” She said, “yes” I asked, Does Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) know about it too?” She said, “Yes, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) does too.” So the tears filled my eyes and I wept. Abu Bakr, who was reading upstairs heard my voice and came down and asked my mother, “What is the matter with her? ” She said, “She has heard what has been said about her (as regards the story of Al-lfk).” On that Abu- Bakr wept and said, “I beseech you by Allah, O my daughter, to go back to your home”. I went back to my home and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had come to my house and asked my maid-servant about me (my character). The maid-servant said, “By Allah, I do not know of any defect in her character except that she sleeps and let the sheep enter (her house) and eat her dough.” On that, some of the Prophet’s companions spoke harshly to her and said, “Tell the truth to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).” Finally they told her of the affair (of the slander). She said, “Subhan Allah! By Allah, I know nothing against her except what goldsmith knows about a piece of pure gold.” Then this news reached the man who was accused, and he said, “Subhan Allah! By Allah, I have never uncovered the private parts of any woman.” Later that man was martyred in Allah’s Cause. Next morning my parents came to pay me a visit and they stayed with me till Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to me after he had offered the `Asr prayer. He came to me while my parents were sitting around me on my right and my left. He praised and glorified Allah and said, “Now then O `Aisha! If you have committed a bad deed or you have wronged (yourself), then repent to Allah as Allah accepts the repentance from his slaves.” An Al-Ansari woman had come and was sitting near the gate. I said (to the Prophet). “Isn’t it improper that you speak in such a way in the presence of this lady? Allah’s Apostle then gave a piece of advice and I turned to my father and requested him to answer him (on my behalf). My father said, “What should I say?” Then I turned to my mother and asked her to answer him. She said, “What should I say?” When my parents did not give a reply to the Prophet, I said, “I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle!” And after praising and glorifying Allah as He deserves, I said, “Now then, by Allah, if I were to tell you that I have not done (this evil action) and Allah is a witness that I am telling the truth, that would not be of any use to me on your part because you (people) have spoken about it and your hearts have absorbed it; and if I were to tell you that I have done this sin and Allah knows that I have not done it, then you will say, ‘She has confessed herself guilty.” By Allah, ‘I do not see a suitable example for me and you but the example of (I tried to remember Jacob’s name but couldn’t) Joseph’s father when he said; So (for me) “Patience is most fitting against that which you assert. It is Allah (alone) whose help can be sought.’ At that very hour the Divine Inspiration came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and we remained silent. Then the Inspiration was over and I noticed the signs of happiness on his face while he was removing (the sweat) from his forehead and saying, “Have the good tidings O ‘ “Aisha! Allah has revealed your innocence.” At that time I was extremely angry. My parents said to me. “Get up and go to him.” I said, “By Allah, I will not do it and will not thank him nor thank either of you, but I will thank Allah Who has revealed my innocence. You have heard this story but neither did not deny it nor change it (to defend me),” (Aisha used to say:) “But as regards Zainab bint Jahsh, (the Prophet’s wife), Allah protected her because of her piety, so she did not say anything except good (about me), but her sister, Hamna, was ruined among those who were ruined. Those who used to speak evil about me were Mistah, Hassan bin Thabit, and the hypocrite, `Abdullah bin Ubai, who used to spread that news and tempt others to speak of it, and it was he and Hamna who had the greater share therein. Abu Bakr took an oath that he would never do any favor to Mistah at all. Then Allah revealed the Divine Verse: “Let not those among you who are good and wealthy (i.e. Abu Bakr) swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, and those in need, (i.e. Mistah) …Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (24.22) On that, Abu Bakr said, “Yes, by Allah, O our Lord! We wish that You should forgive us.” So Abu Bakr again started giving to Mistah the expenditure which he used to give him before.

[28] Zirr said: “I said to Ubayy bin Ka’b: ‘O Abu Al-Mundhir! How do you know that it (lailatul qadr) is the night of the twenty-seventh?’ He said: ‘Rather, the Messenger of Allah informed us that it is a night (after which) the sun rises without rays, so we counted and we remembered it. By Allah! Ibn Mas’ud learned that it is in Ramadan and that it is the night of the twenty-seventh, but he did not want to inform you lest you would depend on it.”

[29] Masruq reported that there came to Abdullah a person and said: I have left behind in the mosque a man who explains the Qur’an according to his personal discretion and he explained this verse:” So wait for the day when the Heaven brings a clear smoke.” He says that a smoke would come to the people on the Day of Resurrection anl it will withhold breath and they would be inflicted with cold. ‘Abdullah said: He who has knowledge should say something and he who has no knowledge should simply say: Allah is best aware. This reflects the understanding of a person that he should say about that which he does not know that it is Allah who knows best. The fact is that when the Quraish disobeyed Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) he supplicated Allah that they should be afflicted with famine and starvation as was done in case of Yusuf. And they were so much hard pressed that a person would ace the sky and he would see between him and the sky something like smoke and they were so much hard pressed that they began to cat the bones, and a person came to Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) and said: Allah’s Messenger. seek forgiveness for the tribe of Mudar for (its people) have been undone. The Messenger (ﷺ) said: For Mudar? You are overbold, but he supplicated Allah for them. It was upon this that this verse was revealed:” We shall remove the chastisement a little, but they will surely return to evil” (xliv. 15). lie (the narrator) said: There was a downpoor of rain upon them. When there was some relief for them they returned to the same position as they had been before, and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse:” So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear smoke enveloping people. This is a grievous torment on the day when We seize them with the most violent seizing; surely, We shall exact retribution.” And this (seizing) implied (Battle) of Badr.

[30] Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me to the Yemen as judge, and I asked: Messenger of Allah, are you sending me when I am young and have no knowledge of the duties of a judge? He replied: Allah will guide your heart and keep your tongue true. When two litigants sit in front of you, do not decide till you hear what the other has to say as you heard what the first had to say; for it is best that you should have a clear idea of the best decision. He said: I had been a judge (for long); or he said (the narrator is doubtful): I have no doubts about a decision afterwards.

[31] Qais b. ‘Ubada reported: I was in the company of some persons, amongst whom some were the Companions of Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) in Medina, that there came a person whose face depicted the fear (of Allah). Some people said: He is a person from amongst the people of Paradise; he is a person from amongst the people of Paradise. He observed two short rak’ahs of prayer and then went out. I followed him and he got into his house and I also got in and we began to converse with each other. And when he became familiar (with me) I said to Him: When you entered (the mosque) before (your entrance in the house) a person said so and so (that you are amongst the people of Paradise), whereupon he said: It is not meet for anyone to say anything which he does not know. I shall (now) tell you why they (say) this. I saw a dream during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and narrated it to him. I seemed to be in a garden [he described its vastness, its rich fructification and its verdure]; in the midst of it, there stood an iron pillar, with its base in the earth and its summit in the sky: and upon its summit there was a handhold. It was said to me: Climb up this (pillar). I said to him (visitant in the dream): I am unable to do it. Thereupon a helper came to me, and he (supported) me (by catching hold of my) garment from behind and thus helped me with his hand and so I climbed up till I was at the summit of the pillar, and grasped the handhold. It was said to me: Ho d it tightly. It was at this that I woke up when (the handhold) was in fthe grip) of my hand. I narrated it (the dream) to Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ), whereupon he said: That garden implies al-Islam and that pillar implies the pillar of Islam. And that handhold is the firmest faith (as refered to in the Qur’an). And you will remain attached to Islam until you shall die. And that man was ‘Abdullah b. Salim.

[33] Sa’id ibn Abi Waqqas said: “Four ayats were revealed about me. The first was when my mother swore she would neither eat nor drink until I left Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah Almighty revealed, ‘But if they try to make you associate something with Me about which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. Keep company with them correctly and courteously in this world’ (31:15) The second was when I took a sword that I admired and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, give me this!’ Then the ayat was revealed: ‘They will ask you about booty.’ (8:1) The third was when I was ill and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to me and I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I want to divide my property. Can I will away a half?’ He said, ‘No.’ ‘A third?’ I asked. He was silent and so after that it was allowed to will away a third. The fourth was when I had been drinking wine with some of the Ansar. One of them hit my nose with the jawbone of a camel. I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Allah Almighty revealed the prohibition of wine.”

No man should lead another in prayer where the latter has authority, or sit in his house, without his permission”. [Muslim].

In another narration in Muslim: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “One who is senior most in accepting Islam, should lead the Salat (prayer)”.

Yet another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “A man who is well versed in the Book of Allah and can recite it better, should lead the Salat (prayer); if (all those present) are equal in this respect, then the man who is senior most in respect of emigration, if they are equal in that respect too, then the oldest of them should lead the prayer”.

[38] ‘Urwa b. Zabair reported: I said to ‘A’isha, the wife of Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ): I do not see any (fault) in one who does not circumamblate between al-Safa’ and al-Marwa, and I do not mind if I do not circumambulate between them, whereupon she said: O, the son of my sister, what you say is wrong. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) observed Sa’i and so did the Muslims. So it is a Sunnah (of the Prophet). And it was a common practice (with the pagan Arabs) that those who pronounced Talbiya for the wretched al-Manat, situated at Mushalla, did not observe Sa’i between al-Safa’ and al-Marwa. With the advent of Islam, we asked Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) about this practice, and (it was on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse:” Verily al-Safa’ and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah” ; so he who performed Hajj or ‘Umra it is no sin on him if he circumambulates them. And if it were as you state, (then the wording would have been):” There is no harm for him, that he should not circumambulate round them.” Zuhri said: I made a mention of that to Abu Bakr b. ‘Abd al- Rahman b. al-Harith b. Hisham; he was impressed by that and said: This is what is called knowledge. And I have heard many a scholar saying: Many of the Arabs who did not circumambulate between al-Safa’ and al-Marwa caid: Our circumambulation between these two hills is an act of ignorance; whereas others among the Ansar said: We have been commanded to circumambulate the House, and not Commanded to run between al-Safa’ and al-Marwa. So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed thia verse:” Verily al-Safa’ and al-Marwa are among the Signs of Allah.” Abu Bakr b. ‘Abd al-Rahman said: I think that this (verse) has been revealed for such and such (persons).

While I was in his house at Mina, and he was with `Umar bin Al-Khattab during `Umar’s last Hajj, `Abdur-Rahman came to me and said, “Would that you had seen the man who came today to the Chief of the Believers (`Umar), saying, ‘O Chief of the Believers! What do you think about so-and-so who says, ‘If `Umar should die, I will give the pledge of allegiance to such-andsuch person, as by Allah, the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr was nothing but a prompt sudden action which got established afterwards.’ `Umar became angry and then said, ‘Allah willing, I will stand before the people tonight and warn them against those people who want to deprive the others of their rights (the question of rulership). `Abdur-Rahman said, “I said, ‘O Chief of the believers! Do not do that, for the season of Hajj gathers the riff-raff and the rubble, and it will be they who will gather around you when you stand to address the people. And I am afraid that you will get up and say something, and some people will spread your statement and may not say what you have actually said and may not understand its meaning, and may interpret it incorrectly, so you should wait till you reach Medina, as it is the place of emigration and the place of Prophet’s Traditions, and there you can come in touch with the learned and noble people, and tell them your ideas with confidence; and the learned people will understand your statement and put it in its proper place.’ On that, `Umar said, ‘By Allah! Allah willing, I will do this in the first speech I will deliver before the people in Medina.” Ibn `Abbas added: We reached Medina by the end of the month of Dhul-Hijja, and when it was Friday, we went quickly (to the mosque) as soon as the sun had declined, and I saw Sa`id bin Zaid bin `Amr bin Nufail sitting at the corner of the pulpit, and I too sat close to him so that my knee was touching his knee, and after a short while `Umar bin Al-Khattab came out, and when I saw him coming towards us, I said to Sa`id bin Zaid bin `Amr bin Nufail “Today `Umar will say such a thing as he has never said since he was chosen as Caliph.” Sa`id denied my statement with astonishment and said, “What thing do you expect `Umar to say the like of which he has never said before?” In the meantime, `Umar sat on the pulpit and when the callmakers for the prayer had finished their call, `Umar stood up, and having glorified and praised Allah as He deserved, he said, “Now then, I am going to tell you something which (Allah) has written for me to say. I do not know; perhaps it portends my death, so whoever understands and remembers it, must narrate it to the others wherever his mount takes him, but if somebody is afraid that he does not understand it, then it is unlawful for him to tell lies about me. Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam (the stoning of married person (male & female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did recite this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him. I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say, ‘By Allah, we do not find the Verse of the Rajam in Allah’s Book,’ and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married person (male & female), who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the required evidence is available or there is conception or confession. And then we used to recite among the Verses in Allah’s Book: ‘O people! Do not claim to be the offspring of other than your fathers, as it is disbelief (unthankfulness) on your part that you claim to be the offspring of other than your real father.’ Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘Do not praise me excessively as Jesus, son of Marry was praised, but call me Allah’s Slave and His Apostles.’ (O people!) I have been informed that a speaker amongst you says, ‘By Allah, if `Umar should die, I will give the pledge of allegiance to such-and-such person.’ One should not deceive oneself by saying that the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was given suddenly and it was successful. No doubt, it was like that, but Allah saved (the people) from its evil, and there is none among you who has the qualities of Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of allegiance to anybody among you without consulting the other Muslims, neither that person, nor the person to whom the pledge of allegiance was given, are to be supported, lest they both should be killed. And no doubt after the death of the Prophet (ﷺ) we were informed that the Ansar disagreed with us and gathered in the shed of Bani Sa`da. `Ali and Zubair and whoever was with them, opposed us, while the emigrants gathered with Abu Bakr. I said to Abu Bakr, ‘Let’s go to these Ansari brothers of ours.’ So we set out seeking them, and when we approached them, two pious men of theirs met us and informed us of the final decision of the Ansar, and said, ‘O group of Muhajirin (emigrants) ! Where are you going?’ We replied, ‘We are going to these Ansari brothers of ours.’ They said to us, ‘You shouldn’t go near them. Carry out whatever we have already decided.’ I said, ‘By Allah, we will go to them.’ And so we proceeded until we reached them at the shed of Bani Sa`da. Behold! There was a man sitting amongst them and wrapped in something. I asked, ‘Who is that man?’ They said, ‘He is Sa`d bin ‘Ubada.’ I asked, ‘What is wrong with him?’ They said, ‘He is sick.’ After we sat for a while, the Ansar’s speaker said, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,’ and praising Allah as He deserved, he added, ‘To proceed, we are Allah’s Ansar (helpers) and the majority of the Muslim army, while you, the emigrants, are a small group and some people among you came with the intention of preventing us from practicing this matter (of caliphate) and depriving us of it.’ When the speaker had finished, I intended to speak as I had prepared a speech which I liked and which I wanted to deliver in the presence of Abu Bakr, and I used to avoid provoking him. So, when I wanted to speak, Abu Bakr said, ‘Wait a while.’ I disliked to make him angry. So Abu Bakr himself gave a speech, and he was wiser and more patient than I. By Allah, he never missed a sentence that I liked in my own prepared speech, but he said the like of it or better than it spontaneously. After a pause he said, ‘O Ansar! You deserve all (the qualities that you have attributed to yourselves, but this question (of Caliphate) is only for the Quraish as they are the best of the Arabs as regards descent and home, and I am pleased to suggest that you choose either of these two men, so take the oath of allegiance to either of them as you wish. And then Abu Bakr held my hand and Abu Ubaida bin al-Jarrah’s hand who was sitting amongst us. I hated nothing of what he had said except that proposal, for by Allah, I would rather have my neck chopped off as expiator for a sin than become the ruler of a nation, one of whose members is Abu Bakr, unless at the time of my death my own-self suggests something I don’t feel at present.’ And then one of the Ansar said, ‘I am the pillar on which the camel with a skin disease (eczema) rubs itself to satisfy the itching (i.e., I am a noble), and I am as a high class palm tree! O Quraish. There should be one ruler from us and one from you.’ Then there was a hue and cry among the gathering and their voices rose so that I was afraid there might be great disagreement, so I said, ‘O Abu Bakr! Hold your hand out.’ He held his hand out and I pledged allegiance to him, and then all the emigrants gave the Pledge of allegiance and so did the Ansar afterwards. And so we became victorious over Sa`d bin Ubada (whom Al-Ansar wanted to make a ruler). One of the Ansar said, ‘You have killed Sa`d bin Ubada.’ I replied, ‘Allah has killed Sa`d bin Ubada.’ `Umar added, “By Allah, apart from the great tragedy that had happened to us (i.e. the death of the Prophet), there was no greater problem than the allegiance pledged to Abu Bakr because we were afraid that if we left the people, they might give the Pledge of allegiance after us to one of their men, in which case we would have given them our consent for something against our real wish, or would have opposed them and caused great trouble. So if any person gives the Pledge of allegiance to somebody (to become a Caliph) without consulting the other Muslims, then the one he has selected should not be granted allegiance, lest both of them should be killed.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ

عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ قَتَلْتُمْ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ قَتَلَ اللَّهُ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَإِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْنَا فِيمَا حَضَرْنَا مِنْ أَمْرٍ أَقْوَى مِنْ مُبَايَعَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ خَشِينَا إِنْ فَارَقْنَا الْقَوْمَ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ بَيْعَةٌ أَنْ يُبَايِعُوا رَجُلاً مِنْهُمْ بَعْدَنَا، فَإِمَّا بَايَعْنَاهُمْ عَلَى مَا لاَ نَرْضَى، وَإِمَّا نُخَالِفُهُمْ فَيَكُونُ فَسَادٌ، فَمَنْ بَايَعَ رَجُلاً عَلَى غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلاَ يُتَابَعُ هُوَ وَلاَ الَّذِي بَايَعَهُ تَغِرَّةً أَنْ يُقْتَلاَ‏.‏

[40] Ibn `Abbas said: “Hint your intention of marrying’ is made by saying (to the widow) for example: “I want to marry, and I wish that Allah will make a righteous lady available for me.’ ” Al-Qasim said: One may say to the widow: ‘I hold all respect for you, and I am interested in you; Allah will bring you much good, or something similar ‘Ata said: One should hint his intention, and should not declare it openly. One may say: ‘I have some need. Have good tidings. Praise be to Allah; you are fit to remarry.’ She (the widow) may say in reply: I am listening to what you say,’ but she should not make a promise. Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married to him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the Iddat period, she makes a promise to marry somebody, and he ultimately marries her, they are not to be separated by divorce (i.e., the marriage is valid).

[41] It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed: People will constantly ask you questions pertaining to knowledge till they would say: Allah created us, but who created Allah? he (the narrator) says: he (Abu Huraira) was (at the time of narrating this hadith) catching hold of the hand of a man and he said: Allah and the Messenger told the truth. Two persons have already put me this question, and this is the third one, or he said: One man has put me this question and he is the second one.

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ لاَ يَزَالُ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَكُمْ عَنِ الْعِلْمِ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا هَذَا اللَّهُ خَلَقَنَا فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَدْ سَأَلَنِي اثْنَانِ وَهَذَا الثَّالِثُ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ سَأَلَنِي وَاحِدٌ وَهَذَا الثَّانِي ‏.‏

[43] It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Men will continue to question one another till this is propounded: Allah created all things but who created Allah? He who found himself confronted with such a situation should say: I affirm my faith in Allah.

[44] Suhaib narrated: “When the Messenger of Allah had performed Asr, Hamasa (he began mumbling)” – and Al—Hams according to some of them, is moving the lips as if he is speaking – “It was said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah! After you performed Asr, you were mumbling?’ He said: ‘There was a Prophet among the Prophets, he was amazed with his people, so he said: “Who can stand against these people?” Then Allah revealed to him, that they must choose between some of them suffering from wrath, and between enemies of theirs assaulting them. They chose the wrath. So death was inflicted upon them such that seventy-thousand of them died in one day.’”He said: And when he would narrated this Hadith, he would also narrated another: “There was a king among the kings, and that king had a fortune-teller (Kahin) who would see for him. The fortune teller said: ‘Search for a boy for me, he must be understanding” or he said: “clever and quick, so that I can teach him this knowledge of mine. For verily, I fear that I shall die, and this knowledge will be removed from you, and there will be no one among you who knows it.” He said: “They looked for a boy fitting his description. (After finding one) they ordered him to tend to that fortune teller, and to continue visiting him. So he began his frequent visits, and on the boy’s route, there was a monk at his hermitage.” – Ma’mar said: “I think that during that time, the people at the hermitage were Muslims.” – He said: “They boy began asking that monk questions each time he passed him, and he would not leave him until he informed him, so he said: ‘I only worship Allah.’” He said: “So the boy began spending more time with the monk and arriving late to the fortune-teller. The fortune-teller sent a message to the boy’s family saying: ‘He hardly ever attends me.’ The boy told that to the monk, so the monk said to him: ‘When the fortune-teller asks you where you’ve been, tell him: “I was with my family.” And when your family asks you where you’ve been, then tell them that you were with the fortune-teller.’” He said: “One day, the boy passed by a large group of people being held back by a beast.” Some of them said, it was a lion. He said: “So the boy took a rock and said: ‘O Allah, if what the monk says is true, then I ask you to kill it.’” [He said:] “Then he threw the rock, killing the beast. The people began asking who killed it and some of them replied: ‘It was the boy.’ They were terrified and said: ‘This boy has learned a knowledge that no one else has learned.’” He said: “A blind man heard about him so he said to him: ‘If you can return my sight, I shall give you this and that.’ He said to him: ‘I do not want this from you. However, if your sight is returned to you, would you believe in the One who gave it back to you?’ He said: ‘Yes.’” He said: “So he supplicated to Allah, and He returned his sight to him, and the blind man believed. His case was conveyed to the king, so he sent for him to be brought before him. He said: ‘I shall kill each of you in a manner different than his comrade was killed.’ He called for the monk and the man who used to be blind. He placed a saw upon the forehead of one of them and killed him. Then he killed the other one by a different means. Then he gave orders for the boy, he said: ‘Take him to this or that mountain, and throw him from its peak.’ They brought him to that mountain, and when they reached the place from where they intended to cast him off, they began tumbling off of that mountain, and all of them fell down until none of them remained except for the boy.” He said: “Then he returned and the king ordered that he be brought out to sea and cast into it. So he was brought out to sea, but Allah drowned those who were with him, and He saved him. Then the boy said to the king: ‘You will not kill me until you tie me to the trunk of a tree and shoot me, and when you shoot me, you said: “In the Name of Allah, the Lord of this boy.’” He said: “So he ordered that he be tied, then when he shot him, he said: ‘In the Name of Allah, the Lord of this boy.’ The boy placed his hand upon his temple where he was shot, then he died. The people said: “This boy had knowledge that no one else had! Verily we believe in the Lord of this boy!” He said: It was conveyed to the king “Your efforts have been thwarted by the opposition of these three, now all of these people have opposed you.” He said: “So he had ditches dug, then fire wood was filled into it and a fire was lit. Then he (the king) had all of the people gathered and he said: ‘Whoever leaves his religion, then we shall leave him. And whoever does not leave, we shall cast him into this fire.’ So he began casting them into that ditch.” He said: “Allah, Blessed is He and Most High, said about that: ‘Cursed were the People of the Ditch. Of fire fed with fuel…’ until he reached: ‘…The Almighty, Worthy of all praise!’” He said: “As for the boy, he was buried.” He said: “It has been mentioned, that he was excavated during the time of Umar bin Al-Khattab, and his finger was at his temple, just as he had placed it when he was killed.”

[45] It was narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Al-Hakam As-Sulami said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), we were recently in a state of ignorance, then Allah (SWT) brought Islam. Some men among us follow omens.’ He said: ‘That is something that they find in their own hearts; it should not deter them from going ahead.’ I said: ‘And some men among us go to fortune tellers.’ He said: ‘Do not go to them.’ He said: ‘Some men among us draw lines.’ He said: ‘One of the Prophets used to draw lines. So whoever is in accord with his drawing of lines, then so it is.'” He said: “While I was praying with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a man sneezed and I said: ‘Yarhamuk-Allah (May Allah have mercy on you).’ The people glared at me and I said: ‘May my mother be bereft of me, why are you looking at me?’ The people struck their hands against their thighs, and when I saw that they were telling me to be quiet, I fell silent. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished, he called me. May my father and mother be ransomed for him, he neither did hit me nor rebuke me nor revile me. I have never seen a better teacher than him, before or after. He said: ‘This prayer of ours is not the place for ordinary human speech, rather it is glorification and magnification of Allah (SWT), and reciting Qur’an.’ Then I went out to a flock of sheep of mine that was tended by a slave woman of mine beside Uhud and Al-Jawwaniyyah, and I found that the wolf had taken one of the sheep. I am a man from the sons of Adam and I get upset as they get upset. So I slapped her. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him what happened. He regarded that as a serious action on my part. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), should I set her free?’ He said: ‘Call her.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: ‘Where is Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime?’ She said: ‘Above the heavens.’ He said: ‘And who am I?’ She said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).’ He said: ‘She is a believer, set her free.'”

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ اقْتَبَسَ بَابًا مِنْ عِلْمِ النُّجُومِ لِغَيْرِ مَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فَقَدِ اقْتَبَسَ شُعْبَةً مِنَ السِّحْرِ الْمُنَجِّمُ كَاهِنٌ والكاهنُ ساحرٌ والساحرُ كافرٌ» .حكم: رَوَاهُ رزين. لم تتمّ دراسته (الألباني)

[47] Aba Mas’ud al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the charging of price of the dog, and earnings of a prostitute and sweets offered to a kahin.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ، عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

[48] ‘A’isha reported: I said: Allah’s Messenger, the kahins used to tell us about things (unseen) and we found them to be true. Thereupon he said: That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches and throws into the ear of his friend, and makes an addition of one hundred lies to it.

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، بْنِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْكُهَّانَ كَانُوا يُحَدِّثُونَنَا بِالشَّىْءِ فَنَجِدُهُ حَقًّا قَالَ ‏ “‏ تِلْكَ الْكَلِمَةُ الْحَقُّ يَخْطَفُهَا الْجِنِّيُّ فَيَقْذِفُهَا فِي أُذُنِ وَلِيِّهِ وَيَزِيدُ فِيهَا مِائَةَ كَذْبَةٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

[49] Abdullah b. Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I intended to ask ‘Umar b. al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) about a verse, but I waited for one year to ask him out of his fear, until he went out for Pilgrimage and I also accompanied him. As he came back and we were on the way he stepped aside towards an Arak tree to ease himself. I waited for him until he was free. I then walked along with him and said: Commander of the Faithful, who are the two among the wives of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who backed up one another (in their demand for extra money)? He said: They were Hafsa and ‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with them). I said to him: It is for one year that I intended to ask you about this matter but I could not date so on account of the awe for you. He said: Don’t do that. If you think that I have any knowledge, do ask me about that. And if I were to know that, I would inform you. He (the narrator) stated that ‘Umar had said: By Allah, during the days of ignorance we had no regard for women until Allah the Exalt- ed revealed about them what He has revealed, and appointed (turn) for them what he appointed. He said: It so happened that I was thinking about some matter that my wife said: I wish you had done that and that. I said to her: It does not concern you and you should not feel disturbed in a matter which I intend to do. She said to me: How strange is it that you, O son of Khattab, do not like anyone to retort upon you, whereas your daughter retorts upon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upou him) until he spends the day in vexation. ‘Umar said: I took hold of my cloak, then came out of my house until I visited Hafsa and said to her: O daughter, (I heard) that you retort upon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) until he spends the day in vexation, whereupon Hafsa said: By Allah, we do retort upon him. I said: You should bear in mind, my daughter, that I warn you against the punishment of Allah and the wrath of His Messenger (ﷺ). You may not be misled by one whose beauty has fascinated her, and the love of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for her. I (‘Umar) then visited Umm Salama because of my relationship with her and I talked to her. Umm Salama said to me: Umar b. al-Khattab, how strange is it that you meddle with every matter so much so that you are anxious to interfere between Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and his wives, and this perturbed me so much that I refrained from saying what I had to say, so I came out of her apartment, and I had a friend from the Anar. When I had been absent (from the company of the Holy Prophet) he used to bring me the news and when he had been absent I used to bring him the news, and at that time we dreaded a king of Ghassan. It was mentioned to us that he intended to attack us, and our minds were haunted by him. My friend, the Ansari, came to me, and he knocked at the door and said: Open it, open it. I said: Has the Ghassani come? He said: (The matter is) more serious than that. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has separated himself from his wives. I said: Let the nose of Hafsa and ‘A’isha be besmeared with dust. I then took hold of my cloth and went out until I came and found Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in his attic to which he climbed by means of a ladder made of date-palm, and the servant of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who was black had been sitting at the end of the ladder. I said: This is Umar. So permission was granted to me. I narrated this news to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and as I narrated the news concerning Umm Salama, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) smiled. He was lying on the mat and there was nothing between him and that (mat), and under his head there was a pillow made of leather and it was stuffed with plam fibres and at his feet were lying a heap of sant tree (acacia niloctica, meant for dyeing) and near his head there was hanging a hide. And I saw the marks of the maton the side of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and so I wept. He said: What makes you weep? I said: Messenger of Allah, the Khusrau and the Ceasars (spendd their lives in) the midst of (luxuries), whereas you being Allah’s Messenger (are leading your life in this poverty). Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: Don’t you like that they should have riches of their world, and you have the Hereafter.
