Al-Hamdulillaahi ‘alal Islam wa Sunnah




Al-Hamdulillaahi ‘alal Islam wa Sunnah



Shaikh Khalid Ar-Raddadee (hafidhahumullaah) remind us to reflect upon Allaah guiding us to Sunnah while many are astray

Shaikh Khalid Ar-Raddadee (hafidhahullaah) said:

Qala ba’du Salaf: La adri ayu ni’mataini ‘alaya a’dhaam, ni’matu an hadani Allaahu ‘azza wa jall min bain al-adyaan jami’ah li din il Islam aw ni’amtu an hadani Allaahu ‘azza wa jall min bayni al-madhaahib wal firaq ila Sunnah. Fahumma ni’matan ‘Adhimataan – ni’matu il Islam wa Sunnah

(Some of the Salaf said: I don’t know which of the two blessings upon me is greater, the blessing that Allaah ‘azza wa jall guided me to Islam from amongst all the religions, or the blessing that Allaah ‘azza wa jall guided me to the Sunnah from amongst all the groups, sects. They are two great blessings: the blessing of Islam and the Sunnah.



Shaikh Ar-Raddadee added that a man came to Imam Ahmad (rahimahullaah) and said: Al-Hamdulillaahi ‘alal Islam (All Praise is for Allaah, for Islam). Imam Ahmad said: Bal Qul Al-Hamdulillaahi ‘alal Islam wa Sunnah (Rather say, All Praise is for Allaah, for Islam and the Sunnah.)

Ahlul Hadeeth vs Ahlul Ahwaa



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 Qur-aan, 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 Qur-aan, so I fabricated these Ahaadeeth for them so that it may turn their hearts to the Qur-aan.” [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 Bukhaaree 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 Ahaadeeth on the virtues of the Qur-aan, and that he fabricated seventy Ahadeeth on the virtues of ‘Alee.

And just as Abu ‘Ismah Nooh ibn Abee Maryam who is known as ‘Nooh al Jaami’’ admitted that he fabricated some Ahaadeeth on the virtues of the Qur-aan, 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 Ahaadeeth.”

‘Abdullaah 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 Allaah said …!!”

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

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

Continued…

[Translators note:] Look, may Allaah 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 Ahaadeeth into the Sunnah and what state we would be in had the affair been entrusted or left to them.

الحديث - بين أهل الحديث وأهل الأهواء

قال العراقي في شرح مقدمة ابن صلاح

روينا عن مؤمل أنه قال : حدثني شيخ بهذا الحديث - يعني حديث فضائل القرآن سورة سورة - فقلت للشيخ : من حدثك ؟ فقال حدثني رجل بالمدائن وهو حي ، فصرت إليه ، فقلت : من حدثك ؟ فقال : حدثني شيخ بواسط ، وهو حي؛ فصرت إليه ، فقال : حدثني شيخ بالبصرة ، فصرت إليه ، فقال :حدثني شيخ بعبادان ، فصرت إليه، فأخذ بيدي ، فأدخلني بيتا ، فإذا فيه قوم من المتصوفة / و معهم شيخ ، فقال : هذا الشيخ حدثني ، فقلت يا شيخ من حدثك ؟ فقال لم يحدثني أحد ، و لكننا رأينا الناس قد رغبوا عن القرآن ، فوضعنا لهم هذا الحديث ليصرفوا قلوبهم إلى القرآن. لعل هذا الرجل قطع نحو ثلاثة أشهر مسافرا لتحقيق رواية هذا الحديث الواحد.

من كتاب علم الرجال للعلامة المعلمي اليماني ص:5

كما روى البخارى فى التاريخ الأوسط عن عمر بن صبح بن عمران التميمى أنه قال : أنا وضعت خطبة النبى –صلى الله عليه وسلم –

وكما أقر ميسرة بن عبد ربه الفارسى أنه وضع أحاديث فى فضائل القرآن , وأنه وضع فى فضل علىّ سبعين حديثا

وكما أقر أبو عصمة نوح بن أبى مريم الملقب " بنوح الجامع " أنه وضع على ابن عباس أحاديث فى فضائل القرآن سورة سورة .

قال السيوطى فى التدريب

" هذا لايضعه مسلم والمتهم به محمد بن شجاع كان زائغا فى دينه , وفى أبى المهزم

قال شعبة : رأيته لو أُعطى درهما وضع خمسين حديثا " !!

قال عبد الله بن يزيد المقرىء

" إن رجلا من أهل البدع رجع عن بدعته فجعل يقول :انظروا هذا الحديث عمن تأخذونه !! فإنا كنا إذا رأينا رأياً جعلنا له حديثا !!" .

وقال أبو عباس القرطبى صاحب كتاب " المفهم شرح صحيح مسلم

" : " استجاز بعض فقهاء أهل الرأى نسبة الحكم الذى دل عليه القياس الجلى إلى رسول الله- صلى الله عليه وسلم- نسبة قولية فيقولون فى ذلك قال رسول الله –صلى الله عليه وسلم - كذا !! ؛



قال ابن القيم في "المنار المنيف": «ولا تستبعد هذا. فإنك لو تتبعت ما عندهم من ذلك لوجدت الأمر كما قال».‏

المترجم :أبو عبد الواحد نادر أحمد
‎‏قال الحافظ أبو يعلى الخليلي في كتاب "الإرشاد": «وضعت الرافضة في فضائل علي ‏‎ وأهل ‏البيت، نحو ثلاث مئة ألف حديث»

I won’t be affected


I won’t be affected

It is reported from Sufyân Al-Thawrî – Allah have mercy on him – that he said:

A person who sits with a heretic (an adherent of bid’ah) will not escape one of three things: Either he will become a trial (fitnah) for others, or some deviation will occur in his heart and he will slip and be cast into the Fire by Allah, or he will say to himself, ‘By Allah, I don’t care what they say, I am confident about myself;’ but whoever feels secure from Allah about his religion even for the blinking of an eye, Allah will take his religion away from him.

Ibn Waddâh, Al-Bida’ p125.

Attend the Refutations of Bid’ah


Attend the Refutations of Bid’ah


It is reported from ‘Abdullah b. Mas’ûd – Allah be pleased with him – that he said:

For every bid’ah with which Islâm is plotted against, Allah has a beloved worshipper (walî) who refutes and repels it and speaks about its signs, so take the full opportunity of attending such places, and trust in Allah.

Ibn Waddâh, Al-Bid’ah p5.

Imam Al-Awzai’s Letter of Warning against Heresy and Heretics



Imam Al-Awzai’s Letter of Warning against
Heresy and Heretics



It is reported that Imâm Al-Awzâ’î (d157H) wrote:

O Muslims, fear Allâh and obey Him, and accept the advice of the sincere advisers and the exhortation of the exhorters, and know that this knowledge is religion, so be careful about what you do [in it] and from whom you take [it] and who you follow and who you trust your religion to. For verily, the followers of Bid’ah are all falsifiers and liars, neither are they careful nor do they fear and protect [against wrongdoing], and nor are they to be trusted to not distort what you hear. They say what they know not when criticizing and decrying or when affirming their lies. But Allâh encompasses what they do. So be on guard against them, suspect them, reject them and distance yourselves from them, for this was what your earlier scholars and the righteous latter ones did and instructed others to do.

Beware of rising against Allâh and becoming instruments in the destruction of His religion and undoing its handholds by respecting the innovators, for you know what has come down to us about respecting them. And what stronger respect and veneration can there be than taking your religion from them, following them, believing them, being close to them and helping them in alluring those they allure and attracting those they attract of the weak Muslims towards their ideas and the religion they practice? This is enough to be considered a partnership and contribution to what they do.
