With the Noble Hadith - Four things, if they are in you, then it does not matter what you miss of this world!!

With the Noble Hadith 

Four things, if they are in you... then it does not matter what you miss of this world!! 

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 of greetings and the purest of peace. Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. And after:

Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad: Hasan narrated to us, Ibn Lahia narrated to us, from Al-Harith bin Yazid Al-Hadrami, from Abdullah bin Amr, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Four things, if they are in you, then it does not matter what you miss of this world: preserving trust, truthfulness in speech, good character, and chastity in food."

Dear listeners: 

  1. The first of these four is: preserving trust: 

Al-Tabarani narrated in Al-Awsat from Ubaid Allah bin Umar, from Nafi’, from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "There is no faith for the one who has no trust, no prayer for the one who has no purification, and no religion for the one who has no prayer. The position of prayer in religion is like the position of the head in the body."

  1. The second is: truthfulness in speech: 

Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and strives for truthfulness until he is written with God as a truthful person. And beware of lying, for lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to Hell. A man continues to lie and strives for lying until he is written with God as a liar."

Al-Tabarani narrated in Al-Kabir in the story of Ka'b bin Malik, who was one of the three who were left behind in the Battle of Usra (Tabuk), and God Almighty accepted their repentance. Ka'b said: "O Messenger of God, God has saved me by truthfulness, and part of my repentance to God is that I will only speak truthfully for as long as I live. By God, I do not know anyone among the people whom God has tested with truthfulness of speech as He has tested me since I mentioned that to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, until this day, and I hope that God will protect me in what remains."

  1. The third is: good character: 

The following hadiths were mentioned in the book "Mawarid al-Zam'an ila Zawa'id Ibn Hibban" in the "Chapter on What Was Said About Good Character": From Abdullah bin Amr, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said in a gathering: "Shall I not tell you who is most beloved to me and closest to me in seating on the Day of Resurrection?" (He said it three times) We said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: "The best of you in character." And from Abu Tha'laba al-Khushani, from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: "The most beloved of you to me and the closest to me in the Hereafter are the best of you in character, and the most hateful of you to me and the furthest from me in the Hereafter are the worst of you in character, the pretentious, the verbose, the talkative." And from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: "Shall I not tell you who are the best of you?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: "The longest-lived of you and the best of you in character." 

And from Abu al-Darda', from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: "The heaviest thing that will be placed in the balance of a believer on the Day of Resurrection is good character, and God hates the obscene and indecent." And from Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, that Muadh bin Jabal intended to travel, so he said: O Prophet of God, advise me. He said: "Worship God and do not associate anything with Him." He said: O Prophet of God, give me more. He said: "If you do wrong, then do good." He said: O Prophet of God, give me more. He said: "Be steadfast and let your character be good." And from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was asked: What is the most common thing that causes people to enter Paradise? He said: "Fear of God and good character." He said: What is the most common thing that causes people to enter Hell? He said: "The two hollow things: the mouth and the private parts." And from Abu Hurairah, from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: "The most complete of believers in faith are the best of them in character." And from Aisha, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Indeed, the believer can attain with his character the rank of one who fasts and prays." And from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "A man's honor is his religion, his dignity is his intellect, and his lineage is his character."

  1. And the fourth is: chastity in food:

Al-Tabarani narrated in Al-Awsat from Ibn Abbas, who said: This verse was recited in the presence of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace: (O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good). (Al-Baqarah 168) Saad bin Abi Waqqas stood up and said: O Messenger of God, pray to God to make me one whose prayers are answered. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to him: "O Saad, make your food good, and you will be one whose prayers are answered. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, when a servant throws a morsel of unlawful food into his stomach, no deed of his will be accepted for forty days. And any servant whose flesh grows from usury, the Fire is more deserving of him."

Abu Nuaim narrated in his Musnad al-Mustakhraj ala Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "O people, God is good and only accepts what is good. And God Almighty has commanded the believers with what He commanded the messengers, so He said: (O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing). (Al-Mu'minun 51) And He said: (O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you). (Al-Baqarah 172). Then he mentioned a man who travels for a long time, disheveled and dusty, extending his hands to the sky: O Lord, O Lord, but his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he has been nourished with unlawful things, so how can he be answered?"

Dear listeners: We thank you for your kind 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. 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.
