HADITH OF THE DAY

Wednesday 3 Rajab 1444AH [January 25, 2023]

Be the first to initiate Salaam after three days after forsaking a brother

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It is not permissible for a believer to forsake his (Muslim) brother for more than three days. If three days have passed, he should meet him and greet him; and if other responds to it they will both share the reward; but if he does not respond, he will bear his sin and the one who (has taken the initiative to) greet (the other) will be absolved of the sin of forsaking (one's brother in Faith).'' [Abu Dawud].

Commentary:
1. Contact and speech with people should be for the Pleasure of Allah only. For instance, if somebody is a heretic in religion, or commits sins openly, and in spite of the advice given to him, he does not mend his way, a Muslim can renounce contact with him for the sake of Allah. Such renunciation is permissible. In fact, it is desirable so that he may learn a lesson from it and may change himself. But severing contacts merely for worldly grievances is not permissible.

2. After three days, one who should take the initiative in giving Salam is more superior than the other. If the second party does not respond and perpetuates malice and enmity, he will be sinful and the former will be absolved of the sin of rupturing contact.

Forsaking your brother for a year is like one shedding his blood

Abu Khirash Hadrad bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "Whosoever forsakes his brother for a year is like one who sheds his blood.'' [Abu Dawud].

Commentary:
This Hadith strongly condemns those Muslims who forsake their brothers and sisters in Faith. Since those who are forsaken, have to suffer mental torture, this act has been regarded equivalent in gravity to killing

HADITH OF THE DAY

Friday 27 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [January 20, 2023]

Do not desert (stop talking to) your brother beyond three nights

Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It is not lawful for a Muslim to desert (stop talking to) his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning to the other way when they meet, the better of the two is one who is the first to greet the other.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
1. Since Islam is a religion based on the nature of man, it has a suitable concession in all his natural affairs. When there occurs a dispute between two Muslims then unpleasantness and contraction of mind are bound to result from it. In such a situation they naturally do not like to speak or maintain contact with each other. Islamic Shari'ah has acknowledged the validity of this reaction and granted permission to the party to suspend speech for three days. Since longevity of suspension of contact leads to severe hatred and animosity which increases dissension in society, creates obstruction in family relations and injures the bond of friendship, Muslims have been ordered not to let this temporary unpleasantness and turbidity go beyond a period of three days.

2. By highlighting the merit of Salam (salutation), this Hadith has prescribed an easy way for resuming the relations because Salam increases mutual love and paves the way for conversation and reconciliation.

HADITH OF THE DAY

Sunday 22 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [January 15, 2023]

Inciting or provoking someone's wife or slave against her husband or his master

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He who deceives another's wife or his slave is none of us.'' [Abu Dawud].

Commentary:
To incite or provoke someone's wife or slave against her husband or his master or to create hatred between the two is a great crime, because a Muslim is required to create peace and accord amongst people. It is against his conduct to foment dissension and discord between them.

Tuesday 17 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [January 10, 2023]

Prohibition of Rejoicing over another's Trouble

Wathilah bin Al-Asqa' (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Do not express pleasure at the misfortune of a (Muslim) brother lest Allah should bestow mercy upon him and make you suffer from a misfortune.'' [At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary:
A true believer is one who feels unhappy to see Muslims suffering, and rejoices on the happiness of his other fellows in Faith. It is contrary to the conduct of a true believer to rejoice over the trouble of another Muslim as this attitude is very much disliked by Allah. There is every possibility that Allah may punish such a person in this world and relieve the one who is in trouble.

HADITH OF THE DAY

Wednesday 11 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [January 4, 2023]

Protecting the Ummah from ill-will and enmity

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales. Do not look for other's faults. Do not spy one another, and do not practise Najsh (means to offer a high price for something in order to allure another customer who is interested in the thing). Do not be jealous of one another and do not nurse enmity against one another. Do not sever ties with one another. Become the slaves of Allah, and be brothers to one another as He commanded. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He should neither oppress him nor humiliate him. The piety is here! The piety is here!'' While saying so he pointed towards his chest. "It is enough evil for a Muslim to look down upon his Muslim brother. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in Faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour. Verily, Allah does not look to your bodies nor to your faces but He looks to your hearts and your deeds.'' [Muslim]

Commentary:
This long Hadith guides the Muslim society to live in harmony. It ensures that members of the the society feel confident, protected and be at peace with each other.

Prohibition of Envy

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Beware of envy because envy consumes (destroys) the virtues just as the fire consumes the firewood,'' or he said "grass.'' [Abu Dawud].

Commentary:
Envy is one of the major sins which are bound to destroy virtues as fast as the fire burns the wood and dry grass to ashes.
Allah, the Exalted, says: "Or do they envy men (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his followers) for what Allah has given them of His Bounty?'' (4:54).

Friday 6 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [December 30 2022]

Who is a true Muslim?

Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A (true) Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe; and a Muhajir (Emigrant) is he who leaves the deeds which Allah has prohibited.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
Everyone who professes Tauhid and acknowledges the Prophethood of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, is a Muslim, but a perfect Muslim is one who has attained that high level where he does not harm any Muslim with his hand and tongue (speech). Similarly, an Emigrant is the one who abandons his homeland and relatives and goes to a place where he can easily practise the religion of Allah. But such a person is also an Emigrant who renounces all such things which are forbidden by Allah, because emigration means abandoning, whether it is abandoning of homeland or sins

HADITH OF THE DAY

Thursday 5 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [December 29 2022]

Prohibition of Abusing the Deceased without a valid Legal reason approved by Shari'ah

Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Do not abuse the dead, because they have attained that which they had forwarded (i.e., their deeds, good or bad).'' [Al-Bukhari].

Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that we should not censure or condemn the deceased because they have reached their end and they are receiving in the Hereafter return for whatever deeds they did in their life. There is no harm, however, in abusing the disbelievers who died in a state of Kufr.

HADITH OF THE DAY

Wednesday 4 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [December 28 2022]

Warning to masters who perpetrate oppression on their servants and slaves

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "He who accuses his slave of Zina will receive the punishment (Hadd) of slander on the Day of Resurrection, unless the accusation of Zina was true.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
On the Day of Judgement, the masters of slaves and slave-girls will be exposed to Hadd-ul-Qadfi (Hadd for accusing someone of adultery) for the reason that they perpetrate all kinds of oppressions on their captives and their grievances are not redressed. On the Day of Judgement, when Almighty Allah dispenses justice without any prejudice and favour, He will also do full justice to this oppressed class and those masters, who somehow escaped the punishment on this account in this world. Thus, this Hadith has a stern warning for those masters who are carried away by their might and authority and perpetrate oppression on their servants and slaves.

HADITH OF THE DAY

Tuesday 3 Jumada-Thaani 1444AH [December 27 2022]

Do not help Satan overcome a sinner by uttering curses on him

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: A drunkard was brought to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. He said, "Give him a beating.'' Then some beat him with their hands, some with their shoes, and some with (a folded) piece of cloth. When he left, someone said to him: "May Allah disgrace you!'' The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Do not help Satan overcome him by uttering such words.'' [Al-Bukhari]

Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that imprecation against a sinner helps Satan because he is avowed to disgrace and humiliate Muslims before Allah. When a Muslim curses another Muslim and imprecates for his humiliation and disgrace, he in fact tries to accomplish the mission of Satan because in doing so Satan will have achieved his objective. Therefore, one should not curse a fellow Muslim even if he or she is a sinner. In fact, one should pray to Allah for his or her guidance.

Do not curse animals

Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم on a journey and there was a woman from the Ansar riding a she-camel. She abused and invoked curse upon it. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم heard it and said, "Off load the she-camel and set it free because it has been cursed.'' [Muslim].

Commentary:
This Hadith teaches us not to curse animals. It also teaches us to treat them nicely and be patient with them..

Thursday 27 Jumada-aluula 1444AH [December 22 2022]

One who curses can become a victim of it

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "When a person curses somebody or something, the curse goes up to heaven and the gates of heaven get closed. Then it comes down to the earth and its gates get closed. Then it turns right and left, and if it does not find an entrance to go anywhere, it returns to the person or thing that was cursed; if he or it deserves to be cursed; otherwise it returns to the person who uttered it.'' [Abu Dawud].

Commentary:
Curse means deprivation of Allah's Mercy. We learn from this Hadith that the act of cursing is such that one who does it can become himself a victim of it. One should, therefore, abstain from cursing.

Monday 24 Jumada-aluula 1444AH [December 19 2022]

One who frequently curses is not accepted as a witness or intercessors on the Day of Judgement

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Those who frequently resort to cursing (people) would neither be accepted as witnesses nor as intercessors on the Day of Resurrection.'' [Muslim].

Commentary:
The habit of taunting and cursing makes a man sinful. Such a person has no value with Allah, and his testimony and intercession will not be considered on the Day of Judgement.

The believer doesn't frequently curse

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "It does not befit a Siddiq (righteous Muslim) to frequently curse others.'' [Muslim]

Commentary:
Taunts, curses and abusive language are contrary to perfect Faith and fidelity.
This is a rebuke that discourages cursing and a warning that the one who has this characteristic does not possess these beautiful attributes, for cursing is a kind of du’aa’ in which one prays that someone will be cast far away from the mercy of Allaah, and praying for such a thing is not the attitude of the believers.

HADITH OF THE DAY

Saturday 22 Jumada-aluula 1444AH [December 17 2022]

Cursing a believer is like murdering

Abu Zaid Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him( (he is one of those who gave their pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم under the Tree) said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He who swears by a religion other than that of Islam, is like what he has professed. He who kills himself with something, will be tormented with it on the Day of Resurrection. A person is not bound to fulfill a vow about something which he does not possess. Cursing a believer is like murdering him.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
"He who swears by a religion other than that of Islam'' here means either of the two things stated here. For instance, if a person says: "If I do such and such, then I am a Christian or a Jew.'' Now if he really intends to embrace Christianity or Judaism, he will immediately become so because his intention to be a Kafir (disbeliever) is Kufr (infidelity) in itself. But if the vow is meant to deny the adoption of other religions and is intended to express his firm resolution to live as a Muslim to the last even then such a vow is undesirable and is a sin for which one must seek Allah's forgiveness.

The last sentence of this Hadith evidently shows that to curse a Muslim is forbidden because it is akin to killing him.

The gravest of the cardinal sins

Abu Bakrah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Shall I not inform you of one of the gravest of the cardinal sins?'' We said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!'' He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "To join others as partners with Allah in worship and to be undutiful to one's parents.'' The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم sat up from his reclining position (in order to stress the importance of what he was going to say) and added, "I warn you making a false statement and giving a false testimony. I warn you against making a false statement and giving a false testimony.'' The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم kept on repeating this (warning) till we wished he should stop. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary:
The contents of this Hadith make the gravity of making a false statement abundantly clear. How unfortunate indeed it is that, like other major sins, the evil of giving false testimony is very common among the present-day Muslims. May Allah prevent us from it.

Warning to one relating false and fabricated Ahadith

Samurah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He who relates from me something which he deems false is one of the liars.'' [Muslim]

Commentary:
In some of the narrations of this Hadith, the word used is "two liars'' One is that person who tells a lie and attributes his statement to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The second is that person who conveys it to others. Thus, this Hadith has a stern warning for those 'Ulama' and preachers who feel no hesitation in relating false and fabricated Ahadith.
