Share i was given this Proof of Wearing the tawiz
Hafiz Ibn Kathir and Qadi Shawkani write:
"Amr ibn Shuaib (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Rasulu'llah(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) taught my father and grandfather a du'a which we would read before going to sleep, to protect us from fear and anguish.We told our elder children to recite this du'a before going to sleep as well.But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around their necks"
[Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal vol.2; Abu Dawud, in 'Chapter of Medicine'; Tafsir Ibn Kathir, under Sura al-Mu'minun, verse 97; and Qadi Shawkani, Fath al-Qadir, under the same verse]. can you please explain this.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The hadeeth referred to was narrated by Abu Dawood (3893), at-Tirmidhi (3528), Ahmad inal-Musnad(6696) and others via Muhammad ibn Ishaaq from ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If one of you wakes up in alarm, let him say: A‘oodhu bi kalimaat-illaah il-taammaati min ghadabihi wa ‘iqaabihi wa sharri ‘ibaadihi wa min hamazaat al-shayaateeni wa an yahduroon (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His wrath and His punishment and from the evil of His slaves and from the evil promptings of the devils and from their presence)’, for then they will never be able to harm him.” ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr used to teach these words to those of his children who reached puberty, and for those who had not reached puberty he would write them down then hang it around their necks.
There are some reservations about this isnaad of this hadeeth, because it is one of the reports narrated by Muhammad ibn Ishaaq, who is mudallis (i.e., he used vague words in order to give a false impression) and he narrated by saying ‘an (“from”, instead of “I heard” and so on).
At-Tirmidhi said: This is a hasan ghareeb hadeeth.
Ash-Shawkaani said inFath al-Qadeer(3588): Its isnaad includes Muhammad ibn Ishaaq, concerning whom the scholarly opinions are well known.
Al-Albaani said: It is hasan apart from the words “‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr used to teach these words…”Saheeh at-Tirmidhi(3528). See alsoas-Silsilah as-Saheehah(1/529);at-Ta‘leeq ‘ala Musnad Ahmad, ar-Risaalah edition (11/296);an-Nahj as-Sadeedby ad-Dawsari, no. 111.
Based on that, what is narrated about ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) hanging this supplication around the necks of his children is not correct, because the isnaad of this addition to the hadeeth is not saheeh.
Secondly:
With regard to the use of amulets and ta’weez [also spelled ta’wiz, taveez, etc], if it contains words from the Qur’an or du‘aa’ (supplication), then there is a difference of scholarly opinion concerning that, as to whether it is disallowed or permitted.
Undoubtedly disallowing that is a means of preventing objectionable beliefs, especially nowadays. If it was regarded as makrooh (disliked) by most of the earlier generations, even though their time was further removed from innovations, misguidance and polytheistic beliefs, and was closer to the light of revelation and faith, then in times such as our own, when ignorance and innovation are widespread, disallowing it is more appropriate.
And Allah knows best.
