Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith by Sajid Mahmood Ansari During the early stages of the revelation of the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took measures to ensure that his words, known as hadith, were not recorded alongside the Qur'an. This decision was made to prevent any potential confusion between the divine scripture, the Qur'an, and the sayings or actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The primary reason for this distinction was to safeguard the Qur'an's unique status as the direct word of God, as Muslims believe it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel. The Qur'an is considered the ultimate and unalterable source of guidance for Muslims, containing the teachings, principles, and laws that form the foundation of the Islamic faith and practice. Narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri that the Messenger of All

Ashab al-Kahf: The Seven Sleeping Saints

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Ashab al-Kahf: The Seven Sleeping Saints Author: Sajid Mahmood Ansari The Holy Qur’an, in 18 th Surah Al-Kahf, narrates the story of a few young believers, who fled from a tyrant polytheist king, hid inside a cave, and kept sleeping there for a number of years. After sleeping for centuries, they woke up and came to know that  they slept for three centuries. Qur’anic Narrative: The Holy Qur’an narrates the story as follows: “ Don’t you think that the people of the Cave and the Raqeem were one of Our wondrous signs? When those youths sought refuge in the Cave and said: "Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and provide for us rectitude in our affairs." We lulled them to sleep in that cave for a number of years and then roused them so that We might see which of the two parties could best tell the length of their stay. We narrate to you their true story. They were a party of young men who had faith in

Human Family Tree From Adam (peace be upon him)

  Human Family Tree From Adam (peace be upon him) to present Author: Sajid Mahmood Ansari Creation of Man Contrary to Darwinism, Islam believes that the first human couple was created especially by the Lord of the Worlds--Allah Almighty in the heavenly Paradise and sent down to the earth thousands of years ago. Scientifically speaking, it was the first couple of Homo sapiens , perfect in all human characteristics, including speaking and walking erectly. Adam (peace be upon him) and his wife Hawa (Eve) constituted the first human couple. They were the Prime ancestors of all the human beings, living today, the deceased and the going to be begotten in future. Allah Almighty said:   (Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Truly, I am going to create man from clay". So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him." So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them. [1] This narrative has been de

The Islamic Schools of Law

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Islamic Schools of Law What is an Islamic School of Law? The Islamic school of law, also known as Madhhab , is a term used to refer to the different legal schools of thought within Islamic jurisprudence. These schools of law emerged from the early Islamic period and developed over time as scholars interpreted and applied Islamic sources such as the Quran, Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h), and consensus of the community ( ijma ) to practical legal issues. There are four main Sunni schools of law: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali. Each school has its own methodology, principles, and interpretations of Islamic legal sources, and there are differences in their rulings on certain issues. Additionally, there are also several Shia schools of law, such as Ja'fari and Zaidi, which have their own unique perspectives and interpretations of Islamic law. Despite these differences

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Predicted the Laws of Genetics

 Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Predicted the Laws of Genetics Author: Sajid Mahmood Ansari Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) predicted the Laws of Genetics. This statement is supported by a number of reports transmitted from the Prophet (PBUH).  Abdullah bin Abbas (A.S) reported that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Discharge of man and woman fuse together, when man’s discharge (sperm) dominates the woman’s discharge (ovum), the baby is a boy; and when woman’s discharge dominates the man’s discharge the baby is a girl.” [Musnad Ahmad: H#2483] There is another report that gives more details of genetics. Anas bin Malik (R.A) reported that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Man's discharge (sperm) is thick and white and the discharge of woman (ovum) is thin and yellow; so the resemblance comes from the one whose discharge prevails or dominates.” [Musnad Ahmad: H#12247, Sahih Muslim:H#311] Ayesha (R.A) reported that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “When woman’s discharge (ovum) domin

Narrated Ibn Abbas (peace and blessings be upon them):



Sa'd bin 'Ubada Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) sought the verdict of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) regarding a vow made by his mother who had died before fulfilling it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Fulfill it on her behalf." Some people said, "If the number of camels reaches twenty, then their owner has to pay four sheep as Zakat; and if their owner gives them as a gift or sells them in order to escape the payment of Zakat cunningly before the completion of a year, then he is not to pay anything, and if he slaughters them and then dies, then no Zakat is to be taken from his property."



حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ اسْتَفْتَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ، تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الإِبِلُ عِشْرِينَ، فَفِيهَا أَرْبَعُ شِيَاهٍ، فَإِنْ وَهَبَهَا قَبْلَ الْحَوْلِ أَوْ بَاعَهَا، فِرَارًا وَاحْتِيَالاً لإِسْقَاطِ الزَّكَاةِ، فَلاَ شَىْءَ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ إِنْ أَتْلَفَهَا فَمَاتَ، فَلاَ شَىْءَ فِي مَالِهِ‏.‏

Ayesha (May Allah be pleased with her)

A man said to the Prophet, "My mother died suddenly, and I think that if she could speak, she would have given in charity. May I give in charity on her behalf?" He said, "Yes! Give in charity on her behalf."



حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسَهَا، وَأُرَاهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ، تَصَدَّقْ عَنْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Ayesha (May Allah be pleased with her)

 

A man said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , "My mother died, will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied in the affirmative. The man said, "I have a garden and I make you a witness that I give it in charity on her behalf."



حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ أُمَّهُ تُوُفِّيَتْ أَيَنْفَعُهَا إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنَّ لِي مِخْرَافًا وَأُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا‏.‏

Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 2770

 

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that a man said to the Prophet:

"My father died and left behind wealth, but he did not leave a will. Will it expiate for him if I give charity on his behalf?"

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ مَالاً وَلَمْ يُوصِ فَهَلْ يُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏

Abdullah bin Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him)  narrated from his father:

"I was sitting with the Prophet when a woman came to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I gave a slave girl to my mother in charity and she died.' He said: 'Your reward is already established, and your right to inherit her has returned it (that Sadaqah) to you.' She said: 'O Messenger of Allah! There was a month of fasting due on her, shall I perform the fast for her?' He said: 'Fast on her behalf.' She said: 'O Messenger of Allah! She never performed Hajj, shall I perform Hajj for her?' He said: 'Yes, perform Hajj on her behalf.'"
