With the Hadith - I send the trained dogs

With the Hadith

I send the trained dogs

We greet you all, dear listeners everywhere, in a new episode of your program "With the Hadith" and we start with the best greeting, so peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you.

Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunan, he said:

Muhammad bin Issa narrated to us, Jarir narrated to us from Mansour from Ibrahim from Hammam from Adi bin Hatim, he said:

I asked the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, I said: "I send the trained dogs and they hold for me, can I eat? He said: If you send the trained dogs and mention the name of God, then eat from what they hold for you. I said: Even if they kill? He said: Even if they kill, unless a dog that is not one of them shares it. I said: I throw with a flat arrow and hit, can I eat? He said: If you throw with a flat arrow and mention the name of God, and it hits and penetrates, then eat, and if it hits with its side, then do not eat."

The author of Awn Al-Maboud said:

(I send the trained dogs): With a fatha on the stressed lam, and what is meant by the trained dog is that three conditions are found in it, if it is urged, it is urged, and if it is rebuked, it is rebuked, and if it takes the prey, it holds it and does not eat it, and if it does that repeatedly and at least three times, it is trained, and its killing is permissible after that.

(They hold for me): That is, the dogs hold the prey for me. (Can I eat): That is, the prey.

(He said: If you send the trained dogs and mention the name of God, then eat): This is evidence that sending from the hunter's side is a condition, even if the dog goes out by itself and takes prey and kills it, it is not permissible. And it shows that mentioning the name of God is a condition in the slaughter when slaughtering, and in the hunting when sending the predator or the arrow. 

(Unless a dog that is not one of them shares it): This is a statement that it is not permissible if another dog shares it, and what is meant is another dog that has gone out by itself, or was sent by someone who is not one of the people of purification, or we doubt that, then it is not permissible to eat it in these cases, but if we are sure that it was only shared by a dog sent by someone who is one of the people of purification on that prey, then it is permissible. Al-Nawawi said.

(With the flat arrow): With a kasra on the meem and with the unpointed ain, which is a heavy piece of wood or a stick with an iron piece at its end, and it may be without an iron piece, and this is the correct explanation of it, and Al-Harawi said: It is an arrow that has no feathers or arrowhead. Al-Nawawi mentioned it.

(Penetrated): With a kha and a zay with dots, that is, it penetrated.

(With its side): That is, without its sharp edge. And it shows that if he hunts with a flat arrow and kills the prey with its edge, it is permissible, and if he kills it with its side, it is not permissible, and this is the opinion of the majority, and Makhoul, Al-Awza'i and others from the jurists of the Levant said: It is permissible absolutely.

Al-Mundhiri said: Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah narrated it.

Dear listeners:

The Hadith shows that hunting is one of the reasons for ownership that the Sharia permits. His saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "Eat." indicates the permissibility of eating the prey and indicates owning it, as the permissibility of eating indicates owning what he hunted. 

The Hadith has explained when you have the right to own what you hunt:

First: That you mention the name of God on the prey when you release the arrow or when you release your trained dog, because then the prey is owned by you legally, whether you find it alive or dead.

Second: That you slaughter the prey that the untrained dog held and you reached it while it was alive, and if you do not find it alive, then it is dead and you are not allowed to dispose of it.

The permissibility of working with hunting includes sea hunting as well as land hunting. God Almighty says in His Holy Book: "Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game and its use for food - a provision for yourselves and for the travelers; but forbidden is the pursuit of land-game while ye are in the Sacred Precincts or in pilgrim garb. And fear Allah, to Whom ye shall be gathered back."

Sea hunting is not limited to fish and whales, there are pearls, coral, sponges and other things that the sea contains. 

Working with hunting has benefits that are obvious to people, as it provides them with food and raw materials, and provides a wide field for work, which contributes to combating unemployment and enriching the state, especially with the development of fishing methods and means. 

To those who claim that closing the doors of the country to foreign tourists or restricting them by preventing the evils that they request or practice...is harmful to the country's economy... I say: Don't you see what God has given us of many seas and wide beaches, which can be a generous and lawful source of income for the individual and the state... But you have accepted to follow the West and have become accustomed to dependency, so how bad is what you claim.

O God, hasten for us the state of the Caliphate that will open the fields of permissible work and close the fields of forbidden work...and save the nation from humiliation and disgrace in this world and the hereafter.

Dear listeners, until we meet you with another Hadith, we leave you in God's care, 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?

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

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.
