With the Hadith - What was for me and the sons of Abd al-Muttalib is yours

With the Hadith

What was for me and the sons of Abd al-Muttalib is yours  

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

What was for me and the sons of Abd al-Muttalib is yours

Al-Nasa'i narrated in his Sunan:

Amr bin Yazid told us: Ibn Abi Adiyy told us: Hammad bin Salama told us from Muhammad bin Ishaq from Amr bin Shuaib from his father from his grandfather who said:

"We were with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, when the delegation of Hawazin came to him and said: O Muhammad, we are of origin and kindred, and we have been afflicted with a calamity that is not hidden from you, so bestow upon us, may God bestow upon you. He said: Choose from your wealth or from your women and children. They said: You have given us a choice between our honor and our wealth, but we choose our women and children. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: What was for me and for the sons of Abd al-Muttalib is yours. When I pray the noon prayer, stand up and say, We seek the help of the Messenger of God against the believers or the Muslims in our women and children. When they prayed the noon prayer, they stood up and said that. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: What was for me and for the sons of Abd al-Muttalib is yours. The Muhajirun said: What was ours is for the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. The Ansar said: What was ours is for the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace."

It is stated in Hashiyat Al-Sindi:

His saying (We are of origin) means an origin of the origins of the Arabs

(And kindred) means a tribe of their tribes

(May God bestow upon you) It appears to be an invocative sentence, and it is possible that it is a source, i.e.: As God Almighty has bestowed upon you, it is close to His saying: (Do good as God has done good to you)

(From your wealth) Perhaps he added "from" to indicate that he would return to them from their wealth or their women what is easy to return, as it is customary that it is not easy to return everything.

(As for what was for me, etc.) It is as if he took from it the gift of the undivided, but it appears that the given here, even if it is undivided, is in consideration of the apparent wording between the giver and others, but in fact, the share of each is distinct from the share of others, so there is no commonality, then there is no commonality with regard to the given, but rather the whole is a gift for them on distribution so that each has his wife and children, unless the form of commonality is considered in both parties or one of them, so let it be considered.

Dear listeners:

Hawazin had fought the Muslims in the Battle of Hunayn, so God Almighty defeated them and thwarted their efforts to eliminate Islam, and made their wealth, women, and children spoils for the Muslims. Then Hawazin embraced Islam and its men came to the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, asking him to bestow upon them by returning their wealth, women and children ...... So what happened was the bestowal of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, upon them, where he gave them his share and the share of the sons of Abd al-Muttalib of their women and children, then the Muhajirun and the Ansar followed him in giving the rest of the women and children to their families.

This hadith indicates the legitimacy of giving or taking money by individuals without return of money or effort. The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, gave his share and the share of his family from the spoils of Hunayn to the delegation of Hawazin without taking ransom from them, and Hawazin took their women and children without paying money or effort in return for their recovery.

Islam has legislated the taking of money by an individual without return of money or effort in five cases:

  1. Connection: whether the connection is in the life of the connector or after his death

In his life, it is represented in two cases: the gift, and its evidence is our hadith for today

And the present, because he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Exchange gifts, you will love each other."

As for after his death, it is represented by the will, and its evidence is what Al-Bukhari narrated from Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas, who said: "I fell ill in Mecca with an illness that brought me to the point of death. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to visit me and I said: O Messenger of God, I have a lot of wealth and only my daughter inherits from me, so should I give two-thirds of my wealth in charity? He said: No. I said: Half? He said: No. I said: One-third? He said: One-third is a lot. If you leave your children wealthy, it is better than leaving them poor begging from people."

A person owns the donated gift, and the given present, just as he owns the will for his legatee legally and without doubt.

  1. Entitlement to money as compensation for harm from the harms that befall the individual, such as: blood money for murder, and blood money for injuries,

As for its evidence: the evidence for blood money for murder is His saying: "And whoever kills a believer by mistake, then the freeing of a believing slave and blood money paid to his family"

And the evidence for blood money for injuries: what Al-Nasa'i narrated from Al-Zuhri from Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm from his father from his grandfather that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, wrote to the people of Yemen a book in which there are obligations, Sunnahs and blood money and sent it with Amr bin Hazm. It came in the book: "And in the nose, if it is completely cut off, the blood money is due, and in the tongue, the blood money is due, and in the two lips, the blood money is due, and in the two testicles, the blood money is due, and in the penis, the blood money is due, and in the spine, the blood money is due, and in the two eyes, the blood money is due, and in one leg, half of the blood money is due, and in the penetrating head wound, one-third of the blood money is due, and in the penetrating wound, one-third of the blood money is due, and in the dislocating bone wound, fifteen camels are due, and in each finger of the hand and foot, ten camels are due, and in the tooth, five camels are due, and in the clarifying wound, five camels are due, and the man is killed for the woman, and the people of gold owe one thousand dinars."

These blood monies are the legal property of the right holder.

  1. Entitlement to the dowry and its accessories by marriage contract

Its evidence is His saying: "And give women their dowries as a gift."

The Sdaq is the dowry, and Nahla means a gift, so the dowry is not in exchange for intimacy as some people think, but it is a gift presented to the woman and it must be given with good faith from the husband because it is an obligation from God Almighty, and the woman owns this dowry in the detailed manner in the provisions of marriage.

  1. The found object

Its evidence: His saying, peace and blessings be upon him, when he was asked about the found object: "Whatever of it was in the frequented road or the collecting village, then announce it for a year, and if its seeker comes, give it to him, and if he does not come, then it is yours, and whatever was in the ruins, meaning in it and in the buried treasure is a fifth"

  1. Compensation for the Caliph

Its evidence: "That Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, took money as compensation for preventing him from trading when he was asked to devote himself to the affairs of the Muslims, and the Companions approved him for that,

What the Caliph takes as expenses from the treasury is not a wage for his work, because he is not an employee of the nation, but rather he is a deputy on its behalf in applying God's law, and what he takes from the treasury is only expenses for him because of preventing him from doing work from which he earns his livelihood and the livelihood of his family because of his preoccupation with taking care of the interests of the nation .....

Dear listeners: Islam is keen on the circulation of money among people and not keeping it in the hands of a small group of the wealthy, while the widest sector of people is deprived of it. It came with rulings that define the reasons for ownership to open horizons for individuals to strive in seeking sustenance and allow the weak among children, the elderly, the sick, people with special needs, and the simple people to live a decent life whether by their efforts or by what is legislated for them from the means by which they obtain sustenance such as inheritance and the money that the state gives to people and the money that individuals need for life and the money that individuals take without return of money or effort ........ They are reasons that have not left anyone in need or deprived... So where are these rulings from the life of humanity that groans from hunger and deprivation, and complains morning and evening of the arrogance of the rich and their insensitivity to the poor and the destitute and those who feed on garbage containers, and cries blood over the innocent childhood that dies because of hunger and deprivation and the pockets of the rich and their vaults are burdened with what they contain of millions that they do not know when, where and how to spend ..... So hasten, O God, for us the state of the Caliphate to apply to us the rulings of our great religion ..... The religion of guidance, care and mercy .... So that there will be no questioner, no poor, and no deprived person left on earth ....

Dear listeners, 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.

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.
