FOR HIM IS THE FIRE!

 


FOR HIM IS THE FIRE!


The sign of knowledge that does not benefit is pride, arrogance, and conceit. Such a person seeks high position and ranking in this world and competes for it. He debates with the scholars with the aim of defeating them, and argues with the foolish with the aim of directing their attention towards him. It is reported from the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, that whoever seeks knowledge for this purpose, "for him is the Fire, the Fire!" *


* Ibn Mājah #254 and ibn Hibbān #290 on the authority of Jābir.

Seeking Forgiveness For


 Abu Hurairah & his Mother*

استغفار لأبى هريرة ولأمه

Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya 


Imam al-Bukhari -Rahimahullaah said in the 'chapter Kindness to parents after they pass away' :


Musa narrated to us that he said, Salam bin Abi Mut'aee narrated to us from Ghalib who said that Muhammad bin Sireen said: 


'We were with Abu Hurairah one night and he said:

" اللهم اغفر لأبى هريرة ولأمى ولمن استغفر لهما."

'O Allaah forgive Abu Hurairah and his mother and whoever seeks forgiveness for them both.'


(Allaahumma ighfir liabee Hurairah wa leeummihi wa limun Astaghfir lahumma)


Muhammad said to me: 

'We seek forgiveness for them both so that we can enter into the Du'aa of Abu Hurairah.'


[Collected in al-Adab al-Mufrad p.23 Shaykh Albaani said it's isnaad is Saheeh.]

استغفار لأبى هريرة ولأمه

قال الإمام البخاري -رحمه الله تعالى- في باب بر الوالدين بعد موتهما:

حدثنا موسى قال: حدثنا سلام بن أبي مطيع عن غالب قال: قال محمد بن سيرين:

كُنَّا عند أبي هريرة ليلةً فقال:

" اللهم اغفر لأبى هريرة ولأمى ولمن استغفر لهما."

قال لي محمد: فنحن نَسْتَغْفِرُ لهما ؛ حتى نَدْخُلَ في دَعْوَةِ أبى هريرة.

قال الشيخ الألباني: صحيح الإسناد.

GOOD TREATMENT OF OTHERS

 


GOOD TREATMENT OF OTHERS


Good manners with the people are comprised in connecting with those who have severed their ties with you by greeting and honouring them, praying and seeking forgiveness for them, and praising and visiting them. They also involve giving to those who have refused to give their knowledge, help, or money to you, and pardoning those who have wronged you by harming your person, wealth, or honour.

Hadeeth - Ahlul Hadeeth vs Ahlul Ahwaa

 


Hadeeth - Ahlul Hadeeth vs Ahlul Ahwaa


It was narrated to us on the authority of Mu-mal that he said: “A Shaykh narrated a Hadeeth to me on the virtues of the Quran, chapter by chapter.”


So I asked him: “Who narrated this Hadeeth to you?”


He said: “A man in Madaa-in narrated it to me, he is alive.”


I traveled to him and asked him: “Who narrated this Hadeeth to you?”


He said: “A Shaykh in Waasit narrated it to me, he is alive.”


So I travelled to him, he said: “A Shaykh in Basrah narrated it to me.”


So I travelled to him, he said: “A Shaykh in Ba’badaan narrated it to me.”


So I travelled to him, he took me by the hand into a house, a group of Sufees were in it, with them was a Shaykh, he [the person who took my hand] said: “It is this Shaykh that narrated it to me.” I said: “O Shaykh, who narrated this Hadeeth to you?”


He responded: “Nobody narrated it to me, but I saw that the people were not interested in the Quran, so I fabricated these Ahadeeth for them so that it may turn their hearts to the Quran.” [Al ‘Iraaqee in ‘The Explanation of Muqadimat ibn as Salaah’]


[Al ‘Allaamah ‘Abdur Rahmaan al Mu’alimee comments:] This man [i.e. the traveler] must have travelled for about three months in order to verify this one Hadeeth. [‘The knowledge of the Narrators and its Importance.]


Al Bukhari narrated in 'At Taareekh al Awsat' on the authority of ‘Umar ibn Subh ibn ‘Imraan at Tameemee who said: “I fabricated a Hadeeth on the Khutbah of the Prophet - صلى الله عليه وسلم.”


Just as Maysarah ibn ‘Abd Rabihi al Faarisee admitted that he fabricated some Ahadeeth on the virtues of the Quran, and that he fabricated seventy Ahadeeth on the virtues of ‘Alee.


And just as Abu ‘Ismah Nooh ibn Abi Maryam who is known as ‘Nooh al Jaami’’ admitted that he fabricated some Ahadeeth on the virtues of the Quran, chapter by chapter, on the authority of ibn ‘Abbaas. [The Causes for Fabrication and the Categories of Fabricators]


[As Suyootee in ‘Tadreeb ar Rawee’ comments on a fabricated Hadeeth stating:] “This Hadeeth cannot be fabricated by a Muslim, the person accused of fabricating it is Muhammad ibn Shajjaa’, he was deviant in his religion…”


Shu’bah said concerning him: “I saw him, if he was given a Dirham he would fabricate fifty Ahadeeth.”


‘Abdullah ibn Yazeed al Muqree said: “A man from the people of innovations repented from his innovation, he then started saying; ‘Look at who you take Hadeeth from, for indeed if we had an opinion, we would turn it into a Hadeeth.’”


Abu al ‘Abbaas al Qurtubee, the author of ‘al Mufhim Sharh Saheeh Muslim’ stated: “Some of the Fuqahaa of the people of desires permitted that if a ruling is derived from a clear analogy, then it is permissible to attribute it to the Messenger - صلى الله عليه وسلم - verbally saying; the Messenger of Allah said …!!”


Al Hafidh Abu Ya’laa al Khaleelee stated in ‘Al Irshaad’; “The Raafidah fabricated Ahadeeth on the virtues of ‘Alee and Ahlul Bayt, about three hundred thousand Ahadeeth.”


Ibn al Qayyim comments in ‘Al Manaar al Muneef’: “Do not think this is farfetched, for if you research what they have from fabricated Ahadeeth you would find that it is as he stated.”

_____________________________

[Translators note:] Look, may Allah preserve you, at the efforts extended by Ahlul Hadeeth in preserving the Sunnah for the Ummah of Muhammad – صلى الله عليه و سلم – in what state would we be in were it not for such efforts. Compare this to the efforts of Ahlut Tasawuf, the Shee’ah and the rest of the people of innovations in fabricating Ahadeeth into the Sunnah and what state we would be in had the affair been entrusted or left to them.
