Hadith on Tafseer: Ibn Abbas explains the Quran to a confused man

Posted: 28 May 2013 12:10 AM PDT

Sa'eed bin Jubair reported: A man asked Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, saying: I find some things in the Qur'an which confuse me,  "There will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another" (23:101), and "They will turn to one another and question one another" (37:27), and "They will never be able to hide a single fact from Allah "(4:42),and "By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who joined others in worship with Allah" (6:23) However, in this verse they did hide something. Allah said, "Are you more difficult to create or is the heaven that He constructed" until, "And after that He spread the earth" (79:27-30). So He mentioned the creation of the heavens before the earth, then He said, "Say: Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two days" until, "We come willingly." Here He mentioned the creation of the earth before the creation of the heavens, and He said, "Verily, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful" (4:23) and, "Almighty, Wise" (4:56), and "Hearing, Seeing" (4:58). It is as if He was and is no longer.

Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, replied, "There will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another" (23:101), this will happen when the Trumpet is blown for the first time, "All who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will perish, except him whom Allah wills" (39:68), and at that time there will be no kinship among them, nor will they ask one another. Then when the Trumpet is blown again, "They will turn to one another and question one another" (37:27). Regarding the verse, "By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who joined others in worship with Allah" (6:23), and, "They will never be able to hide a single fact from Allah" (4:42), Allah will forgive the sincere believers their sins, then the idolaters will say, "Let us say that we never joined others in worship with Allah." Then a seal will be placed over their mouths and their hands will speak. Then it will be known that not a single fact can be hidden from Allah, and at that point, "Those who disbelieved will wish" (4:42). Allah created the earth in two days, then He created the heavens, then He rose above the heaven and gave it shape in two more days. Then He spread the earth, which means that He brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture, and He created the mountains, sands, inanimate things, rocks, hills, and everything in between in two more days. This is what Allah says, "He spread the earth" (79:30) Allah said, "He created the earth in two days," so He created the earth and everything in it in four days and He created the heavens in two days, and "Verily, Allah Forgiving, Merciful" (4:23). This is how He described Himself and this is how He still is. Whatever Allah wills comes to pass, so do not be confused about the Quran, for all of it comes from Allah.

Hadith on Hypocrisy: Severe punishment for one who enjoins good upon others but practices evil himself

Posted: 20 May 2013 09:13 AM PDT

Usamah ibn Zaid reported: It was said to him, "Why do you not visit Uthman and speak with him?" Usamah said, "Do you think I have not talked to him except that you have heard? By Allah, I have spoken with him concerning him and myself, and I do not like to divulge those things about which I have taken the initiative, and I do not say to my ruler: You are the best among the people. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the Hellfire and his intestines will pour forth in Hell and he will go around them just as a donkey around a millstone. The people of Hell will gather around him and say: O so-and-so, what has happened to you? Were you not enjoining good and forbidding evil? He will say: Of course, I used to enjoin good but I did not practice it myself, and I used to forbid evil but I practiced it myself."

Hadith on Injustice: You must seize the hand of the oppressor and make him follow justice

Posted: 20 May 2013 08:48 AM PDT

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Verily, the first deficiency in religion among the children of Israel is that a man would meet another and say to him: Fear Allah and leave what you are doing, for this is not lawful for you. Then he would meet him the next day and find no change in him, but this would not prevent him from eating and drinking with him and sitting in his assemblies. When it came to this, Allah led their hearts into evil on account of their association with others." Then he recited the verses, "Those who disbelieved among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and were transgressors. They would not forbid one another from the evil they were doing. Wretched is that what they used to do. You see many of them becoming allies of those who disbelieved. How wretched is that which they have put forth for themselves in that Allah has become angry with them, and in the punishment they will abide eternally. If they had believed in Allah and the Prophet and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies, but many of them are defiantly disobedient." (5:78-81) Then the Prophet said, "By Allah, you must enjoin good and forbid evil and seize the hand of the oppressor and make him follow the truth and restrict him to what is just."

Hadith on Prayer: The statement prayer is better than sleep for the Fajr call to prayer

Posted: 07 May 2013 10:28 AM PDT

Abu Mah'dhura reported: I was the caller to prayer for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I would say during the first call of the dawn prayer, "Hurry to success! Prayer is better than sleep! Prayer is better than sleep! Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest! There is no God but Allah!"
