Fifth hadeeth

Ḥuṣain Ibn Miḥsan who said my paternal aunt said:

“I had a situation so I went to the Messenger of Allāh. So he said: You there; are you married? I responded: Yes. He then enquired: How do you treat your husband? I said: I do not fall short except in what I have no capability to do. He said: Look how you treat him because he is your paradise and your fire.”

Ibn Abū Shaybah (7/47), Ibn S’ad (8/459), An-Nasā’ ī  in Ishratah al-Nisā and Aḥmad (4/341). [TN] The Shaykh mentions some other sources and declares that this hadeeth is Ṣaḥīḥ.

Knowledge that lacks blessings...

 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin رحمه الله said:

Knowledge that does not result in the fear of Allāh, turning to Him in repentance, devotion to Him and respecting the Muslims is surely knowledge that lacks of blessings.

Shouldn’t we be thankful to Allah!

Ibn al-Qayyim: “The servant  breathes 24,000 times a day. Each 1 is a blessing.” Shouldn’t we be thankful to Allah!

وَآتَاكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا ۗ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ

34. And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of Allāh, never will you able to count them. Verily, man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, a disbeliever (an extreme ingrate who denies Allāh’s Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others besides Allāh, and by disobeying Allāh and His Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).

Shaykh al-Islām Muhammad b. ‘Abd al-Wahhāb mentioned that one of the Salaf stated:

“Whoever is stingy spending (his wealth) in the obedience of Allāh will be trialled with spending it in the disobedience of Allāh and in that which is of no benefit.”

‘Allāmah Rabī’ b. Hādī al-Madkhalī: How to deal with the callers to innovation vs common people

 

@hikmahpubs

THE CALLERS TO INNOVATION AND THE COMMON PEOPLE:

I have included this to clarify the Shaykh’s stance on this topic as we find people ascribing to the Shaykh that which he is innocent of, and this stems from  ignorance or oppression.

Shaykh Rabee’ (hafidhahullaah) said,

“The people of innovation are of two types:

The [first] type are those who call to misguidance. They are to be boycotted and punished with a severe punishment and prevented from giving da’wah…

The other type are the common people who have been deceived. We hold them to be  innovators but we call them to Allaah with wisdom and good admonition. We do not boycott them, but we do not sit with them either. Rather we call them to Allaah in the mosques and in the market places. We call them through tapes and books. We present to them the truth, we clarify the falsehood and warn them against it, so that Allaah can guide those who He wants good for and as for those who Allaah does not want good for, then they will not benefit from any of that. And we warn against  the stubborn individual who is persistent upon innovation.“¹

The Shaykh said in his explanation to ‘Aqeedatus-Salaf wa Ashaabil-Hadeeth concerning the callers to innovation,

“Knowledge should not be taken from them and it is obligatory to warn against them to protect this nation from their evil because they are callers to the gates of the Hellfire, and whoever responds to their [call] will be thrown into it by them.”

He (hafidhahullaah) said concerning the common people from amongst the people of innovation,

“They are not to be boycotted rather they should be called to Allaah the Blessed and Exalted with wisdom and good admonition. Meaning they are common folk and not callers, and their corruption is restricted to themselves. Try and direct this kind of person to Allaah the Blessed and Exalted and call them wisdom and good admonition. However, if mixing with them is going to harm you then distance yourself from them.”²

Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned:

“True success is that Allāh does not leave you to your own devices.”

The Prophet taught us to say at difficult times:

“O Allāh, I only hope for Your Mercy. Do not leave me to my own devices for the blinking of an eye…” Abū Dawūd

اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِح لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ.

The soul is occupied with one of two things:

1. Knowledge or ignorance

2. Righteous actions or evil
