With the Noble Hadith

O God, we ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and wealth!! And we ask You, O God, for patience!! 

We greet you all, dear listeners, everywhere. We meet you in a new episode of your program "With the Noble Hadith," and we begin with the best greeting and purest peace. Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. And after: 

Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad from Abu Saeed al-Khudri, who said: Some people from the Ansar came and asked him, and he gave them. He said: No one asked him except that he gave him until what he had was exhausted. Then he said to them when he had spent everything he had: "Whatever good we have, we will not withhold it from you. And whoever seeks chastity, God will make him chaste, and whoever seeks wealth, God will enrich him, and whoever seeks patience, God will give him patience. And you will not be given a gift better and more expansive than patience." 

And in Sahih Ibn Hibban, from Abu Saeed al-Khudri, that his family complained to him about their need, so he went out to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, to ask him for something for them, and he found him on the pulpit, saying: "O people, it is time for you to be independent of begging, for whoever seeks chastity, God will make him chaste, and whoever seeks wealth, God will enrich him, and by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no servant has been given anything more expansive than patience, and if you refuse but to ask me, I will give you what I find."

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was generous and kind, giving the giving of one who does not fear poverty, and he would say to Bilal, may God be pleased with him: "Spend, Bilal, and do not fear scarcity from the Possessor of the Throne"!! And some people from the Ansar came to him and asked him to give them from what he had, so he gave them until what he had was exhausted.

His saying in Musnad Ahmad: "exhausted" with a kasra on the fa' and (with a dal without a dot) from exhaustion, which is the end until nothing remains of it, differs from what was mistakenly stated in Shu'ab al-Iman and elsewhere "نفذ" with a fatha on the fa' and (with a dal with a dot, i.e., dotted), which is from penetration, i.e., passing and penetrating, and from it is the saying of God Almighty: (O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority). (Al-Rahman 33)  

And his saying in Musnad Ahmad: "What there is" came in another form in Sahih Ibn Hibban, which is his saying: "What there was not" with the omission of the letter waw, and it has a sign of authenticity. Al-Hafiz said in "Al-Fath" in explaining "What there is": "What" is a connected word that includes the meaning of the condition, and in a narration that al-Dimyati corrected: "What there was not" and "What" at that time is conditional, and the first is not a mistake. And his saying: "We will not withhold it from you" Al-Hafiz said in "Al-Fath": "I withhold it from you, that is: I keep it and hide it, and I prevent you from it, being alone with it from you, and in it is what he, peace and blessings be upon him, was upon of generosity, and carrying out the command of God, and in it is an apology to the questioner. And Al-Hafiz said in "Al-Fath": "And in the hadith is the encouragement to be independent of people, and to be chaste from asking them with patience and reliance on God, and waiting for what God provides for him, and that patience is the best thing a person is given because the reward for it is not predetermined or limited."  

  1. His saying: "Whoever seeks chastity, God will make him chaste."

The meaning of "seeks chastity" is that he seeks chastity. And "chastity and virtue" are abstaining from what is not permissible and refraining from it. Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad from Abdullah bin Masoud, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he used to supplicate with this supplication: "O God, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and wealth."

  1. And his saying: "Whoever seeks wealth, God will enrich him." 

The meaning of "seeks wealth" is that he seeks wealth. And "wealth" here is wealth of the soul and independence from people and from what is in their hands. So the true believer, if he wants to ask for something from the needs of this world, or seek help in fulfilling it, he turns to God Almighty, in compliance with what the believer repeats in the obligatory prayer alone seventeen times every day and night, when he reads the opening chapter of the Book and says: (It is You we worship and You we ask for help). And in compliance with the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to Abdullah bin Abbas: "O boy, if you ask, ask God, and if you seek help, seek help from God." For He is the Giver, and He, glory be to Him, is the Helper. And the true believer is independent of people and refrains from asking them. Al-Tabarani narrated in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir from Sahl bin Saad who said: A man said: O Messenger of God, guide me to an action that if I do it, people will love me. He said: "Renounce the world and God will love you, and renounce what is in the hands of people and people will love you."

  1. And his saying: "Whoever seeks patience, God will give him patience."

Patience is the key to relief, as they say, and patience is the opposite of impatience, and the origin of patience is confinement, and everyone who confines something has exercised patience, and patience is: confining the soul from impatience. And patience is: confining the soul from the prohibitions of God, and confining it to His obligations, and confining it from discontent and complaining, and it was said: It is abandoning complaining about the pain of the trial to other than God, not to God. And it was said: Patience is: confining the soul to what reason and Sharia require, or from what they require confining it from. And from it is patience with hunger and thirst during fasting, and patience with the pain of injuries and wounds during jihad. 

  1. His saying: "And you will not be given a gift better and more expansive than patience." 

Patience is one of the matters of determination, and its reward is not predetermined or limited. God Almighty said: (But if you are patient and fear God - indeed, that is of the matters requiring determination). (Al Imran 186) And God Almighty said: (Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account). (Az-Zumar 10) And it is enough for the patient to be proud that God, may His glory be glorified, is with them. God Almighty said: (O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, God is with the patient). (Al-Baqarah 153) May God make us and you among the patient!

Dear listeners: We thank you for your good listening. Our appointment with you is in the next episode, God willing. Until that time and until we meet you always, we leave you in God's care, protection, and security. And peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

With the Hadith - Do you know who is bankrupt?

With the Hadith - Do you know who is bankrupt?

With the Hadith

Do you know who is bankrupt?

May Allah greet you, our dear listeners, listeners of the radio of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir. We meet you again with our program "With the Hadith," and the best way to start our episode is with the greeting of Islam, so peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

It is mentioned in Musnad Ahmad - Remainder of the Musnad of the Prolific Narrators - that the bankrupt of my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with fasting, prayer, and charity, but he comes having insulted this person, slandered this person, and consumed the wealth of this person.

Narrated 'Abd al-Rahman from Zuhair from al-'Ala' from his father from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Do you know who is bankrupt?" They said: "The bankrupt among us, O Messenger of Allah, is the one who has no dirham or goods." He said: "Indeed, the bankrupt of my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with fasting, prayer, and charity, but he comes having insulted this person, slandered this person, and consumed the wealth of this person. So he will sit, and this one will take from his good deeds, and that one will take from his good deeds, and if his good deeds are exhausted before he settles what is owed to him of sins, their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be thrown into the Fire."

This hadith, like other important hadiths, must be understood and realized. Some people are bankrupt despite their prayers, fasting, and zakat, because they insulted this person, slandered this person, consumed the wealth of this person, shed the blood of this person, and beat this person.

His bankruptcy is that his good deeds, which are his capital, are taken and given to this one and used to pay off that one for the price of his slander, insult, and beating. After his good deeds are exhausted before he settles what is owed, their sins are taken and cast upon him, then he is thrown into the Fire.

When the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked his companions, "Do you know who is bankrupt?" "Do you know" means knowledge and awareness of the inner workings of things. "Do you know" means "Do you really know who is bankrupt?" This confirms the saying of our master Ali, may Allah honor his face: "Wealth and poverty are after the presentation to Allah." When they were asked this question, they answered based on their experiences: "The bankrupt among us is the one who has no dirham or goods." This is the bankrupt in the eyes of the companions of the Messenger of Allah. So he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: No... HE SAID: "INDEED, THE BANKRUPT OF MY NATION IS THE ONE WHO COMES ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION WITH FASTING, PRAYER, AND CHARITY..."

This confirms the saying of our master Umar: "Whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may pray, but it is righteousness," because prayer, fasting, Hajj, and zakat are acts of worship that a person may do with sincerity, or he may do them hypocritically, but the center of gravity is to adhere to the command of Allah.

We ask Allah to keep us steadfast on the truth, and make us of His righteous servants, and replace our bad deeds with good deeds, and not disgrace us on the Day of Presentation to Him, O Allah, Amen.

Our dear listeners, until we meet you with another prophetic hadith, we entrust you to Allah, whose deposits are never lost. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

With the Hadith - The Hypocrites and Their Evil Deeds

With the Hadith - The Hypocrites and Their Evil Deeds

With the Hadith

The Hypocrites and Their Evil Deeds

We greet you all, dear friends, everywhere, in a new episode of your program "With the Hadith," and we begin with the best greeting: Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.

It was narrated from Buraidah, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Do not call a hypocrite 'Sayyid' (master), for if he is a master, then you have angered your Lord, the Almighty and Sublime." Narrated by Abu Dawood with a Sahih (authentic) chain of narration.

Dear listeners,

Indeed, the best of speech is the word of God Almighty, and the best guidance is the guidance of His Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah, peace and blessings be upon him. Now then,

This noble Hadith guides us on how to deal with the hypocrites we know. The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was the only one who knew all the hypocrites by their names, but we can recognize some of them by their characteristics, such as those mentioned in the Quran who perform their obligatory duties lazily and grudgingly, and those who plot against Islam and Muslims, encourage strife, spread corruption on earth, and love to spread immorality by calling for it, protecting it, and nurturing it, and those who tell lies about Islam and Muslims... and others who are characterized by hypocrisy.

Therefore, we must understand what the Sharia (Islamic law) has deemed good and what it has deemed bad, so that we can distinguish the hypocrite from the sincere, and take appropriate action towards them. We should not trust those who do what contradicts the Sharia while pretending to do what they do out of concern for Islam and Muslims. We should not follow them or support them, or even less than that, by describing them as "Sayyid," otherwise God Almighty will be angry with us.

We Muslims must be the most keen people on Islam and Muslims, and not allow any hypocrite an entry point into our religion and our families, as they are among the most dangerous things we may face these days due to their abundance and the multiplicity of their faces. We must use the Sharia scale to measure the actions of those who claim to be Muslims, for Islam protects us from such evildoers.

We ask God to protect our nation from such criminals, and to guide us to the straight path and the correct scale by which we measure people's behavior, so that we stay away from those whom God does not love. Amen.

Dear friends, until we meet you with another prophetic Hadith, we leave you in God's care, and peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
