With the Hadith - Whoever wakes up safe in his home...

With the Hadith

Whoever wakes up safe in his home...


We greet you all, dear listeners, 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.

Al-Tirmidhi narrated in his Sunan, saying: Amr ibn Malik and Mahmoud ibn Khidash al-Baghdadi told us: Marwan ibn Muawiyah told us: Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Shumayla al-Ansari told us from Salama ibn Ubaid Allah ibn Mihsan al-Khatmi from his father, who was a companion, he said:

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Whoever among you wakes up safe in his home, healthy in his body, having his day's food, it is as if the world has been gathered for him."

Abu Isa said: This is a good, strange hadith that we only know from the hadith of Marwan ibn Muawiyah, and "heezaat" means gathered. Muhammad ibn Ismail told us this: Al-Humaidi told us: Marwan ibn Muawiyah told us something similar, and in the chapter on Abi al-Darda'

His saying: (Whoever among you wakes up): that is, O believers. (Safe): that is, not afraid of an enemy. (In his home): For the well-known kasra of the sin, that is, in himself, and it was said: the sirb is the group, so the meaning is in his family and children, and it was said: with the fatha of the sin, that is, in his path and way, and it was said: with two fathas, that is, in his house. This is what Al-Qari mentioned from some commentators. Al-Turbashti said, may God have mercy on him: Some insisted on al-sarab with the fatha of the sin and the ra, that is, in his house, and he did not mention in it a narration: Even if his saying were valid that al-sarab is applied to every house, his saying would be stronger than all sayings, except that al-sarab is said to be the house that is in the ground. And in the dictionary: Al-sarb is the road, and with the kasra, the road, the mind, the heart, the soul, and the group, and with the tahrik, the burrow of the wild animal and the excavation under the ground, end. So, the intention of the hadith is to exaggerate the achievement of security, even in a house under the ground, narrow like a wild animal's burrow, or to liken it to it in its secrecy and non-loss.

(Healthy): noun of the object from the باب of mutual action, that is, healthy and safe from illnesses and diseases.

(In his body): that is, his body, outwardly and inwardly.

(Having his day's food): that is, enough food for him from a lawful source.

(It is as if it has been gathered): in the passive voice from al-hiyaza, which is gathering and joining.

(For him): the pronoun refers to "whoever," linking the sentence, that is, the world has been gathered for him. (The world) and it was added in Al-Mishkat in its entirety.

Al-Qari said, that is, in its entirety, and al-hadhafir are the sides, and it was said the tops, and its singular is hidhfar or hudhfur. And the meaning is as if he was given the whole world, end.

Dear listeners:

This noble hadith is one of the comprehensive words that showed us the ultimate needs of a person in this worldly life of the basics without which his life cannot be stable, which are:

  1. Security, which means reassurance about oneself, money, children, and honor. This is provided by a suitable home that protects from heat, cold, and the misfortunes of time... A comfortable home is one of the most important needs of a person that he seeks to obtain. And he has the right to do so.

  2. Physical, mental, and psychological health that makes its owner capable of facing the challenges of life... and makes his mind capable of thinking about its complexities... so he engages in work actively and strongly to earn his livelihood and the livelihood of those he supports, and he engages in worship with enthusiasm and activity, so he obtains acceptance from God, by His permission... and he bears the burden of himself and his family, but also the burden of his nation as his Lord has charged him with.

  3. Food: and food: what the human body needs of food as stated in the Al-Waseet Dictionary. And as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, defined it when he said: Enough for a person are a few bites that keep him upright

These basic human needs must be available to every individual so that he can live a decent life and be a righteous person capable of carrying out the costs of life....

Are these things available to every person in this era? A broad look at the world shows us the hungry, the naked, the sick, and the fearful filling the earth from Africa to Asia to Europe and America, even these countries that claim to uphold human rights... poverty, disease, fear, and insecurity are spreading among their peoples.

The world needs a responsible system and a compassionate, caring state that applies its laws, cares for its individuals, protects them, and provides each individual with the basic needs of security, health, and food... and enables him to obtain welfare and luxuries as much as he can... This system that the world lacks is none other than the system of Islam, and this state is the state of Islam, the state of the Caliphate, which Muslims lack, but rather humanity lacks... So, shall we hasten to restore it anew so that the world can once again enjoy sufficiency and security?

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.
