Taking from the Books of the Innovators Written Before They Deviated

 

 

al-'Allaamah Rabee' Ibn Haadee on Taking from the Books of the Innovators Written Before They Deviated

 

Translated by Anwar Wright

 

[Q]:Al-'Allaamah, ash-Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah) was asked in a recorded meeting between him and some Palestinian Salafee brothers, "Should the books of the people of innovation be benefited from if they were authored before them going astray or even after that if they are free from deviation and it is a good book in that subject?"

 

The Shaykh answered by saying, "Verily, in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and in the books that were passed down from our Salafus-Saalih, which are pure and free from innovations, is what suffices us from returning to the books of the people of innovation, whether they authored them before they fell into innovation or afterwards.  This is because, from the benefit of the Muslims is to extinguish and wipe out the mention of the people of innovation.  So clinging to their books with the intent of benefiting (from them) raises their affair and heightens their status in the hearts of the people.  And from the benefit of the Muslims and Islaam is to suppress the people of innovation and to weaken the mention of the heads of innovation and misguidance.  Furthermore, you will not find a book void of some truth, even the books of the Jews, Christians, and the misguided groups.  So it is foremost that the Muslim focuses upon what we previously mentioned, since this is safer and more guaranteed for the Muslim and it distances him from honouring those whom Allah has disgraced. This is what I say as an answer to this question.  Some of the Imaams noted and were of the opinion that it is not befitting to take from the people of innovation, even if it was from the truth.  And if it was possible to take hadeeth from other than the way of the innovator, then it is foremost to stay away from him, even if he is the carrier of the hadeeth.  It is foremost to stay away from him to extinguish him being mentioned just as we mentioned previously." End of Shaykh Rabee's words.

Imaam Muqbil [rahimahullaah] was asked: Is it permissible for us to listen to the tapes, to read the books or to listen to the previous lectures of those who were considered to be upon the correct Manhaj then they deviated from it?

 

A: I do not advise to read their books nor listen to their tapes, I am astonished of the immense statement of shaykul Islaam Bin Taymiyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him, when he said "Verily if Allaah was not to create Al Bukaari and Muslim his Deen would have not been lost (meaning it will be preserved).

Indeed Allaah,Subahana,The Most High has preserved the Deen.

 

Allaah, The Most High said:

 

{إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ}

 

"We have sent down the Dhikr and surely we will guard it (from corruption)" [15.9]

 

So I advise that one should stay away from their books, their tapes and from attending their lectures... -

Ash-Shaykh Muhammad b. Baazmool was asked:1

 

[Q] May Allaah be good to you Shaykhana. If I had some books, treatises, and tapes authored by individuals who were once upon the correct path then deviated, and scholars, such as ash-Shaykh Rabee', ash-Shaykh al-Fawzaan, and ash-Shaykh 'Ubayd, etc., may Allaah preserve them all, warned against them, can I still benefit from the material? Bearing in mind that I had acquired these things before the authors opposed the correct path. May Allaah reward you with good. Perhaps I can cite as an example [both] Ibraaheem ar-Ruhaylee and Yahyaa al-Hajooree.

 

[A] Safety is a blessing. Once they have been warned against, the matter entails that one maintain his distance from them, and steer clear of them so that he does not become amazed with them and their ways, causing him to keep away from the path of the Sunnah. Remember that whosoever abandons a thing for Allaah, He will compensate him with that which is better. So, place them aside, and mark with your pen that they are authored by people of innovation, so that anyone who finds them in your library amid your books will not be misled by them. Further, remember that the reason Abee Dharr al-Harawee followed al-Ash'arees is because he witnessed his Shaykh ad-Daaraqutnee convey his salaams to al-Baaqillaanee and hold him in high regard.

Moving the lips while praying, making supplications, and reading the Qur’aan

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Brothers and sisters the following is extremely important for the one who would like to receive the reward for reciting the Qur’aan during the month of Ramadan, or for the one who would like to receive the benefits for reading the morning and evening supplications, rather this is a must for every Muslim who would like for their five daily prayers to be accepted.

The following is a summary translation taken from various sources Translated by Rasheed Barbee

Moving the lips while praying, making supplications, and reading the Qur’aan by Sheikh Muhammad Bazmool

Sheikh Muhammad Bazmool said in his explanation of ‘The Prophet’s prayer described’ peace and blessings are upon him; by Sheikh Albaani may Allah have mercy upon him; in the section ‘Reading aloud and silently in the five daily prayers and other than that’ after mentioning that the guidelines in reciting silently is that the tongue is moved.

The second affair: If we know the guidelines for reading aloud and silently, we say: What some of the people do, standing in prayer with their lips closed not moving their tongue until they finish the prayer; they do not move their tongue while reading during the standing which is for reading, and they don’t move their tongue during the supplications not in rukoo nor when raising from rukoo, and they don’t move their tongues in sujud nor when raising from sujud, nor do they move their tongues while sitting for the tashahhud; so I say to them, your prayer is invalid! This is because a pillar of the prayer was not fulfilled, and the pillar that was not fulfilled is reading the Al Fatiha, and because they left off all of the obligations in all of the pillars, because they are not reading in the prayer.

Therefore it is a must when you read that you move your tongue and according to some of the Scholars of fiqh it is a must that you move your tongue and that you hear yourself read.

And this is an important principle: Many of the people come and they say, ‘We always read the morning and evening supplications and we seek refuge in Allah, but despite doing this, we are still affected by such and such and such and such still occurs.

We say, the morning and evening supplications should be read like you read aloud and silently (in the prayer); so if you say them silently it is a must that you move your tongue, there is no benefit in just moving your eyes across the lines (of the dua book, for example) and then you say, ‘I’m reading’…reading silently. This is not called reading and this is not called speech in the Arabic language.

Reading and speech in the Arabic language requires that the tongue is moved.

And with this, as you know it comes in the hadith that the Sahaba may Allah be pleased with them, used to know that the Prophet, peace and blessing are upon him was reading by the moving of his beard. And this is from the proof that the Messenger (prayer and peace are upon him) used to move his tongue and his lips even when he was reading silently.

هذه فتوى للشيخ بن عثيمين رحمه الله تعالى

السؤال: يقول هل يجوز لي أن أقرأ القراءن بدون النطق بالحروف ولكن بالمتابعة بالنظر والقلب من المصحف طبعا فهل يحصل الأجر بذلك؟
الجواب 

الشيخ: لا ليس في ذلك أجر يعني لا يحصل الإنسان أجر القراءة إلا إذا نطق بالقراءن ولا نطق إلا بتحريك الشفتين واللسان وأما من جعل ينظر إلى الأسطر والحروف بعينه ويتابع بقلبه فإن هذا ليس بقارئ ولا ينبغي للإنسان أن يُعَوِّد نفسه هذا لأنه إذا اعتاد ذلك صارت قراءته كلها على هذا الوجه كما هو مشاهد من بعض الناس تجده يقلب الصفحة ويومئ هكذا برأسه يمينا وشمالا ليتابع الأسطر وإذا به قد قلب الصفحة الثانية في مدة يسيرة تعلم علم اليقين أنه لم يقرأ قراءة نطق والخلاصة أن مَنْ لم يقرأ قراءةً ينطق بها فإنه لا يُثاب ثواب القارئ هذا واحد، ثانيا ننصح إخواننا عن هذه الطريق أعني أن يقراؤا بأعينهم وقلوبهم فقط لأنهم إذا اعتادوا ذلك حرموا خيرا كثيرا.

السؤال : 
سماحة الشيخ عبد العزيز بن عبد الله بن باز سلمه الله(رحمه الله)، السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته، أما بعد: 

فإن بعض الناس يأخذون المصحف ويطالعون فيه دون تحريك شفتيهم، هل هذه الحالة ينطبق عليها اسم قراءة القرآن، أم لا بد من التلفظ بها والإسماع لكي يستحقوا بذلك ثواب قراءة القرآن؟ وهل المرء يثاب على النظر في المصحف؟ أفتونا جزاكم الله خيراً.


الجواب : 
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته..

لا مانع من النظر في القرآن من دون قراءة للتدبر والتعقل وفهم المعنى، لكن لا يعتبر قارئاً ولا يحصل له فضل القراءة إلا إذا تلفظ بالقرآن ولو لم يسمع من حوله، لقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((اقرءوا القرآن فإنه يأتي يوم القيامة شفيعاً لأصحابه)) رواه مسلم. ومراده صلى اله عليه وسلم بأصحابه الذين يعملون به، كما في الأحاديث الأخرى، وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((من قرأ حرفاً من القرآن فله به حسنة والحسنة بعشر أمثالها)) خرجه الترمذي، والدارمي بإسناد صحيح، ولا يعتبر قارئاً إلا إذا تلفظ بذلك، كما نص على ذلك أهل العلم، والله ولي التوفيق.
