Taken From the Fatawaa of our Shaykh, Allaama, Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaAbdul Azeez bin Abdullaah Bin Baz
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

The Question:

The Messenger of Allaah – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said: ‘Whoever had three daughters and was patient with them, gave them drink and clothed them then they will be a screen for him from the Fire.’

Will this screen from the Fire be just for their father alone or does the mother have a share in this? I have -all praise be to Allaah – three daughters.

The Answer:

The hadeeth is general for the father and the mother due to the Messenger’s saying: ‘Whoever has two daughters and is good to them then they will be a covering for him from the Fire.’

1- The slave of Allaah cannot actualize ‘You are the One that we worship’ except with two principles: one of them is following the Messenger and the second is having sincerity (Ikhlaas) for the one worshipped.

Ibn al-Qayyim – ‘Tahdeeb al-Madrij’ 68

2- Sincerity for Allaah is that a person’s intent is for Allaah and intends everything for Him, causing fountains of wisdom to spring up from his heart on to his tongue.

Ibn Taymeeyah – ‘an-Naboowaat’ 147

3- Whenever the sincerity of the slave of Allaah strengthens, his worship becomes more complete.

Ibn Taymeeyah – ‘al-Fatawa’ 10/198

4- In relation to the amount of Tawheed a slave has for his Lord, and his sincerity for the religion for Allaah is the amount he is deserving of the generosity of Allaah upon him, from intercession and other things.

Rebelling with the Sword and Performing Takfeer Due to Major Sins – Imaam ad-Dhahabi

Rebelling with the Sword and Performing TakfeerDue to Major Sins
Taken from ‘Al-Kabair’ The Major Sins
By Imaam ad-Dhahabi
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

The Major Sin – Forty-Nine

Allaah Ta’ala said:

<<… but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allaah does not like the transgressors. >> [al-Baqarah: 190]

Allaah Ta’ala said:

<< And whoever disobeys Allaah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in clear misguidance. >> [Ahzaab: 36]

316- The Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said: “Whoever says to his Muslim brother, O Kafir (disbeliever)!’ Then verily it returns to one of them.”[1]

There are many narrations which describe the Khawarij, and the people differed in performing Takfeer (taking people out of the fold of Islaam) upon them, since the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said about them: “they will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them.“[2]

318 – The Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said about them: “They are the most evil of those killed under the sky, and the best person killed is the one who is killed by them.”[3]

So the Khawarij are the people of Bida’, they make it Halaal to take the blood of people, and they perform Takfeer. They performedTakfeer upon ‘Uthmaan and ‘Alee and of a group from the pre-eminent Companions- may Allaah be pleased with all of them.

319– Ishaaq al-Azzraq, on the authority of al-‘Amash, on the authority of Ibn Abu ‘Awfaa – radiAllaah anhu- who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allaah – SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – say: The Khawaarij are the dogs of the Hell-fire.[4]

320- Hashraj bin Nubaatata, said Sa’eed bin Jumhaan narrated to me that he said: I entered upon Ibn Abu ‘Awfaa and he was blind, and he said: who are you?

I said: Sa’eed bin Jumhaan.

He said: What happened to your father?

I said: The al-Azzariqa (who are a sect from the Khawarij) killed him.

He said: May Allaah kill the al-Azzariqa! Then he said: The Messenger of Allaah – SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – narrated to us that they are the dogs of the hell fire.

I asked: only the al-Azzariqa?

He said: All the Khawarij.[5]

321- Hammad bin Salama said: Abu Hafs narrated to us, that he heard Abdullah bin Abu ‘Awfaa say while they were fighting the Khawarij: I heard the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– say: “Tooba (a tree in paradise) for the one who kills them and is killed by them.”[6]

The praise of Shaykh Rabia’ al-Madhkhalee for Shaykh al-Albaani

The praise of Shaykh Rabia’ al-Madhkhalee for theMuhadith, the ‘Allaama, Shaykh of Hadeeth Muhammad Nasr ud-Deen al-Albaani

Questioner: Is Shaykh al-Albaani at the head of the ahl-ul-Hadeeth of this time?

The Answer of the ‘Allaama al-Muhadith Rabia’ bin Hadi ‘Umair al-Madhkhalee HafidhAllaah, and May Allaah raise his grade in both worlds, was:

‘I swear by Allaah that this is what Shaykh Ibn Baaz and Ibn ‘Uthaymeen submit to, as do the other scholars who have spent time in his company. They submit to the fact that there is none that can be compared with him in hadeeth, never can any one be compared with him, actually, for many centuries no one has reached to where Shaykh al-Albaani has reached.

I hold the opinion, that in study of books, neither Ibn Taymeeyah, nor Ibn Hajr reached him in the study of books. As for memorization, then they memorized more than him, but as for study and research and working extremely hard in research then there is none in comparison to him.

He has offered a library for Islaam. The Islaamic Countries and their institutions fall short in offering this amount. Anyone who now writes about hadeeth has to refer back to this man.

This man was oppressed, and the Arabs never knew his reality. Allaah took this man from the heart of Europe and placed him in the Dhahireeyah library, the best library in the east, where he spent sixty years, and he put forward this great work. What did he get in return from us?

With sadness, the virtue of a people is only known by those who posses it. As for the scholars, they knew his virtue and they acknowledged that, such as the likes of Ibn Baaz, Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, and the scholars of Islaam other than them. The scholars of India and Pakistan and the Western Arab Regions and of other places knew the status of this man, from what he placed forward for thisUmmah, in ‘Aqeedah, Manhaj and the service to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah – alayhi as-Salaat wa Salaam –, may Allaah have mercy on him, and reward him with goodness for the Deen of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Prophet – alayhi as-Salaat wa Salaam –, the reward for those who do good actions, and for those who gave a service to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah and His Deen. Naaam!

Summarizing the statement: That this hadeeth is authentic, and it is the most authentic of the Ahadeeth that mention giving one Tasleemin the prayer. Bayhaqi quotes a portion of these ahaadeeth, but none of those asaneed are without a weakness. However, in general they support this hadeeth.

Introduction

All praise belongs to Allaah, Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, upon his family, his Companions and all those who follow his guidance until the Day of Judgment.

Then to proceed, indeed Allaah Ta’ala sent Muhammad –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– with the most eloquent of speech, Allaah Ta’ala says:

<<And he does not speak from his own desire, indeed it is revelation sent down to him>>

And He said:

<<Whatever the Messenger gave you then take it, and whatever he prohibits you from then keep away from it>>

And He said :

<<Whoever obeys the Messenger then he has obeyed Allaah>>

Allaah has blessed this Ummah with the guidance of the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– and from the greatest of these blessings of guidance, is the ease of worship, coupled with the great reward for fulfilling that worship.

When the Hurooreeyah rebelled, they isolated themselves in a place. There were 6000 of them and they were united in rebelling against ‘Alee.Continuously people would come to ‘Alee and say: OAmeer ul-Mu’mineen! Verily these people are rebelling against you.

He said: ‘Leave them, verily I will not fight them until they fight me and [they will fight me] that’s what they will do.’

So when it came to that day, I came to ‘Alee before the Zuhr prayer and I said to him: ‘O Ameer ul-Mu’mineen! Delay the prayer until it is cooler perhaps I will speak to these people.

He said: ‘Verily, I fear for you.’

I said: ‘Never! I used to be known as a man of good manners, I never harmed anyone.’

The Major sin – Twenty-Five

The One Who Commits Suicide which is from the Greatest of Sins

Allaah Ta’aala says:

<< And do not kill yourselves, indeed Allaah is Most Merciful to you.

And whoever commits that through aggression and injustice, We shall cast him into the Fire, and that is easy for Allaah. If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden to do, We shall remit from you your (small) sins, and admit you to a Noble Entrance (i.e. Paradise). >>

Allaah Ta’aala says:

<< And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allaah, nor kill such life as Allaah has forbidden……>>

191 – Narrated by Jundub ibn Abdullaah radiAllaah anhu :

That the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said, “Amongst the nations before you was a man who had a wound, and growing impatient (with its pain), he took a knife and cut his hand with it and the blood did not stop until he died. Allaah said, ‘My Slave hurried to bring death upon himself so I have forbidden him (to enter) Paradise.’

Agreed upon by Bukhari & Muslim

192 – Narrated Abu Huraira radiAllaah anhu who said:

That the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

“Whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his abdomen with it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever. and whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and drinking it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever; “

Agreed upon by Bukhari & Muslim

193 – In an authentic hadeeth: A person was wounded, he hurried death and killed himself with the tip of his sword, the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said: “He is from the people of the fire.”

194 – It is narrated on the authority of Yahya bin Abee Katheer, on the authority of Abee Qilaaba, on the authority of Thabit bin al-Dahhak:

That the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said : “Cursing a believer is like killing him, and whoever accuses a believer of Kufr then he is like his killer, and he who killed himself with something in this world then Allaah will punish him with that (very thing) on the Day of Resurrection.

All Praise belongs to Allaah, may His peace and blessings be upon our final Prophet Muhammad, his family, his companions and all those who follow his guidance.

Ahadith regarding the benefits and blessings of Hajj – Shaykh Al Albaani

Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar – radiAllaahu anhuma – who said: I was sitting with the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – in the masjidin Mina when a man from the Ansaar came and a man from the Thaqeef, they gave Salaam and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, we came to ask you questions.”

So the Messenger said: “If you want I can inform you why you came and what you want to ask, and I will do so, and if you want I will hold back and you can ask me and I will answer you.”

The virtue of Abu Ubayda and using Khabar al-Ahad as a proof – Shaykh Al Albaani

by AbdurRahman.orgOctober 3, 2014October 13, 2014

The virtue of Abu Ubayda and using Khabar al-Ahad as a proof

1964 – “This is the trustworthy one of this Ummah. Meaning Abu Ubayda.”

Narrated by Muslim (1297) and Hakim (3/267) and Ahmad (3/125) and Abu Yaa’la (2/831) from the different routes on the authority of Hamad bin Salama on the authority of ‘Anas : “The people of Yemen came to the Messenger – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – and said : Send a man with us who will teach us the Sunnah and al-Islaam.

Then the Messenger took the hand of Abu Ubayda and said : “ This is the trustworthy one of this Ummah. ” Then the Messenger mentioned him. This wording is from Muslim, and from the wording of Haakim, ‘teach us the Qur’aan.’

And Haakim said : ‘Authentic according to the conditions of Muslim, but Muslim & Bukhari did not narrate this hadeeth with mentioning the word: ‘Qur’aan.’

I say : and in this hadeeth there is an important benefit, the Khabar al-Ahad is used as a proof in ‘Aqeedah, like it is used as a proof in Fiqh rulings, since we know – out of necessity that the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – did not send Abu Ubayda to the people of Yemen just to teach them fiqh rulings, but also to teach the ‘Aqeedah. So if the khabar al-Ahad did not necessitate knowledge of the Sharia in ‘Aqeedah, then sending Abu Ubayda to teach them by himself would be similar to mockery. And this is what the One who established the Sharia’ is free from. So it is established with certainty that the Khabar al-Ahad necessitates knowledge, and that is my intent. I have two well known booklets which have been printed many times regarding this important issue, so anyone who wants a further explanation can refer back to them.

Praise be to Allah; Allaah’s Peace & Praise be upon the Messenger of Allah, upon his family, upon his companions and upon whoever follows his guidance.

To Proceed:

Due to what took course, of the fitnah between the youth in Yemen and its tail has extended, and its branches spread out, so much so that it extended out in to other countries. Many people began seeking for an explanation of the truth and an explanation of who is correct from the one who is wrong.

From the causes of these fitn, was that some of the students of knowledge accused some of the other students of having the Manhaj of Hadadi.

So I was compelled to explain this Manhaj, perhaps this will make it clear for many of the students of the truth, so they can differentiate between the Manhaj of the Ahl-ul-Sunnah, and the Manhaj of the Hadadi.

Then perhaps this may share, to a far distant in dealing with this fitnah, along with our promise to continue with explaining other issues, in response to this urgent request and a share in trying to end the fitnah.

Where Patience is Mentioned in the Qur’aan – Imam Ibn al Qayyim

By Shaykh ul –Islaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

Imam Ahmad – may Allaah have mercy upon him – said: ‘Allaah – Subhanahu – mentions Sabr (patience) in the Qur’aan in 90 places.’

And we will mention the different types of Ayaat where Sabr(patience) is mentioned, and Sabr is of many types:

1)The command of having patience. As in His saying:

((And endure patiently, for your patience is not but from Allah))[1]

((So wait patiently for the command of your Lord))[2]

2) The prohibition of what opposes patience. Like in His saying:

((And be in no haste about them (Unbelievers).))[3]

And His saying:

((So do not become weak, nor be sad))[4]

And His saying: ((And be not like the Companion of the Fish))[5] and in brief, having patience with everything He has prohibited, since it opposes patience, which He has commanded us to have.

Imaan is Patience and Gratitude – Imam Ibn al Qayyim

Taken from the book: Tools for the Patient & Provisions for the Thankful
By Shaykh ul –Islaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

Imaan is of two halves; half is patience (Sabr) and half is being thankful (Shukr).

More than one from amongst the Salaf said: ‘Patience is half ofImaan.’

Abdullaah bin Masood – radi Allaahu anhu – said: ‘Imaan is of two halves: half is patience and half is gratitude.’
This is why Allaah – Subhanahu – combines patience and being thankful in His saying: <<Truly, in this there are signs for every patient, thankful person.>>[1]

As Allaah has mentioned in the verses of soorat Ha Mim ‘Ain Seen Qaaf 33, and soorat Saba 19, and in soorat Luqman 31. Indeed there are considerations which have been mentioned for these classifications of patience and gratitude:

The First Consideration:

That Imaan is a definition for all sayings, actions and intentions. And this is divided into two divisions: performing righteous actions and leaving prohibitions; so doing an action is obedience to Allaah and that is the reality of Shukr. Leaving a prohibition is being patient in keeping away from sins, and all of the Deen is about these two aspects: doing that what you have been commanded to do, and leaving what you have been commanded to leave.

(Key to the land of happiness)

By Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

Knowledge & Ignorance are not equal

Regarding the excellence of knowledge and the people of knowledge, Allaah – Subhana wa Ta’aala – negated equality between the people of knowledge and other than them.

Just like He negated equality between, the companions of Paradise and the companions of the Hell-fire.

Allaah Ta’aala said:

<< Say: “Are those who know equal to those who know not?” >> [ Zumar :9 ]

He also said:

<< Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise >> [ Hashr :20 ]

This indicates the elevated excellence of the people of knowledge and their distinguished nobility.

Vol 1 /11/221

Wisdom is knowledge

Allaah Ta’aala testifies for the one who, has been given knowledge, that He has given him lots of good.

Allaah Ta’aala said: << He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whomHikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant good>> [ Baqarah :269 ]

Ibn Qootayba and the majority of the scholars said: Wisdom is to be on the truth and to act upon it, and that is beneficial knowledge and good actions.

Vol 1/26/227

Knowledge is the Greatest Blessing

Allaah Ta’aala has given numerous blessings to His Messenger, and has given him excellence. Allaah Ta’aala has made the greatest blessing that He gave to him the Book and Hikmah (wisdom).

Allaah taught him that which he did not know.

Allaah Ta’aala said:

<< Allaah has sent down to you the Book and Al-Hikmah and taught you that which you did not know. And Ever Great is the Grace of Allaah unto you >> [Nisa: 113]

Vol 1 / 27 / 227

The Blessing of knowledge obligates thankfulness to Allaah

Allaah Ta’aala reminded His believing slaves with this blessing, and He commanded them to be thankful for it, and that they should remember Him, for the blessings He bestowed to them.

Allaah Ta’aala said:

<< Similarly, We have sent among you a Messenger of your own, reciting to you Our Verses and sanctifying you, and teaching you the Book and the Hikmah and teaching you that which you did not used to know. Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, and be grateful to Me and never be ungrateful to Me. >> [ Baqarah : 151-152 ]

Vol 1 / 28 / 227

Knowledge is Goodness in this World

Al-Hasan said regarding “the saying of Allaah Ta’aala << “Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good!” >> [ Baqarah: 201]

It is knowledge and worship.

And regard Allaah’s saying <<and in the Hereafter that which is good>> [ Baqarah : 201 ]

It is Paradise.”

This is from the best explanations of this Ayaah indeed the greatest of the goodness of this world, is beneficial knowledge and good actions.

Correcting the two strengths of knowledge and action – Ibn al Qayyim

by AbdurRahman.orgOctober 2, 2014October 13, 2014

Shaykh ul –Islaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Taken from ‘Miftah dar as-Sa’ada’ (key to the land of happiness)
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

The saying of Allaah Ta’ala :

((By Al-‘Asr (the time). Verily! Man is in loss, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth and recommend one another to patience.))

Ash-Shafiee – may Allaah be pleased with him – said: ‘If all the people reflected over this Soorah it would be sufficient for them.’

The explanation of this is that this Soorah has four levels, and by completing these, a person can achieve the highest goal in being complete.

The first is: Knowing the truth.
The second: his acting upon the truth.
The third: Him teaching the one who is deficient in the truth.
The fourth: Being patient in learning the truth, and acting upon it, and teaching it.

Allaah Ta’ala mentioned these four levels in this Soorah, and AllaahSubhanahu testified in this Soorah by al-Asr (the time) that everyone is in loss, except those who believe and do righteous, good deeds and they are those who knew the truth, and they testified to the truth.

So the above is a level.

They did righteous, good deeds and they are those who performed worship with what they knew about the truth.

So this is a level.

They advise with the truth; they advise one another, teaching and guiding each other.

So this is the third level.

They advise with patience; they were patient with the truth, and they advised each other with patience upon the truth, and to be steadfast.

And this is the fourth level.

This is the end of completeness; indeed completeness is that a person is complete in himself, and completes others. His completeness is by correcting his two strengths, the strength of knowledge and the strength of actions. Correction of the strength of knowledge is with Emaan, and correction of the strength of actions is by doing righteous deeds, and by completing people other than himself, and by learning this knowledge, and being patient upon it, and his recommending with patience upon knowledge and action.

So this Soorah, even though it is brief, is one of the most collective soorahs of the Qur’aan for goodness from all its different angles.

Praise be to Allaah Who has made the Qur’aan sufficient for everything, a cure from every disease, a guidance to all that is good.

All Praise belongs to Allaah, may His peace and blessings be upon our final Prophet Muhammad, his family, his companions and all those who follow his guidance.

Seven Conditions of ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ – Hafidh al-Hakami

Conditions of ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ ‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah’
By Hafidh al-Hakami -Rahimahullaah-
Taken from his book ‘Ma’arij al-Qabool’
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

The first Condition: al-Ilm – Knowledge

The meaning of ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ and its intent are affirmation and negation, so knowledge negates ignorance.

Allaah –Azza wa Jal- said:

<< So know that La ilaha ‘illa Allaah (none has the right to be worshipped in truth except Allaah) >> [Muhammad: 19]

Allaah –Ta’ala- said:

<< except those who bear witness to the truth >> [Zukhruf: 86]

Which means that they testify to ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ << while they know>> [Zukhruf: 86] with their hearts and they pronounce its meaning with their tongues.

Allaah –Ta’ala- said:

<<Allaah bears witness that La ilaha ‘illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always) maintaining His creation in Justice. La ilaha ‘illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.>> [Aali-‘Imran: 18]

Allaah –Ta’ala- said:

<<Say: ‘Are those who know equal to those who do not know?’ It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allaah’s Signs and Verses)>> [Zumar: 9]

Allaah –Ta’ala- said:

<< It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allaah>> [Faatir: 28]

Allaah –Ta’ala- said:

<< And these similitudes We put forward for mankind, but none will understand them except those who have knowledge (of Allaah and His Signs, etc.)>> [Ankaboot: 43]

In the Saheeh of Imaam Muslim on the authority of ‘Uthmaan –RadhiAllaahu anhu- who said that: the Messenger of Allaah – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said: ‘Whoever dies knowing ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ entersParadise.’
