Da'eef (weak) hadeeths, Dought & clear, - * A munkar (odd) report accusing ‘Aa’ishah of killing ‘Uthmaan and wanting to kill ‘Ali (may Allah have mercy on them all)

Share ::-

Al-Balaadhuri narrated: Ahmad ibn Ibraaheem ar-Darooqi told me: Abu’n-Nadr told us: Ishaaq ibn Sa‘eed told us, from ‘Umar ibn Sa‘eed: Sa‘eed ibn ‘Amr told me, from Ibn Haatib who said: I went with ‘Ali on the day of (the battle of) the Camel to the howdah [in which ‘Aa’ishah was], and it looked like a hedgehog with bristles because of all the arrows. He struck the howdah then said: Verily this Humayra’ [a nickname of ‘Aa’ishah] wanted to kill me as she killed ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan.
Her brother Muhammad said to her: Has something happened to you?
She said: An arrow in my arm. He put his head in (the howdah), then pulled her towards him, then pulled it out.
Is this report saheeh or not?
Praise be to Allah.
We do not know that this report was narrated by any of the scholars who have knowledge of reports and history, apart from Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Balaadhuri in his bookAnsaab al-Ashraaf(2/249), where he says:
Ahmad ibn Ibraaheem ad-Dawraqi told me: Abu’n-Nasr told us: Ishaaq ibn Sa‘eed told us: from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘eed: Sa‘eed ibn ‘Amr told us, from Ibn Haatib who said: I went with ‘Ali on the day of (the battle of) the Camel to the howdah [in which ‘Aa’ishah was], and it looked like a hedgehog with bristles because of all the arrows. He struck the howdah then said: Verily this Humayra’ [a nickname of ‘Aa’ishah] wanted to kill me as she killed ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan. Her brother Muhammad said to her: Has something happened to you? She said: An arrow in my arm. He put his head in (the howdah), then pulled her towards him, then pulled it out.
This report is munkar (odd), and is not saheeh (sound) in either its isnaad (chain of narrators) or matn (text).
Firstly:
‘Amr ibn Sa‘eed was either: the grandfather of Ishaaq ibn Sa‘eed, which is what appears to be the case, because his full name is Ishaaq ibn Sa‘eed ibn ‘Amr ibn Sa‘eed. Based on that, the isnaad is munqati‘ (interrupted), because the grandfather died in 70 AH (at-Tahdheeb, 8/34), and the grandson, the narrator, died in 170 AH (at-Tahdheeb, 1/204); there are one hundred years between the two deaths, so it is not possible that he could have heard from him. Based on that the isnaad is munqati‘ (interrupted) and da‘eef (weak).
Or: he was someone else, in which case he is majhool (unknown). Based on that, the isnaad is also da‘eef (weak). In either case there is an unknown narrator, and when a hadith is narrated only by an unknown narrator, then it is to be rejected.
Secondly:
How could ‘Ali have said concerning ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she wanted to kill him as she had killed ‘Uthmaan?!
This is pure falsehood. ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) is completely innocent of the blood of ‘Uthmaan. She only went out at the battle of the Camel in an effort to bring about reconciliation among the Muslims. Ahmad (24133) narrated from Qays ibn Abi Haazim that ‘Aa’ishah said, when she came to Haw’ab and heard the dogs barking: I think that I should go back, for the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said to us: “At which of you will the dogs of Haw’ab bark?” az-Zubayr said to her: Do you want to go back? (Stay, for) perhaps Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will bring about reconciliation among the people through you.
(23733): Some of those who were with her said: Rather proceed, for the Muslims will see you and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will bring about reconciliation among them thereby.
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inas-Saheehah(474).
Imam ‘Uthmaan ibn Sa‘eed ad-Daarimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said, with his isnaad going back to Naafi‘: ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “By Allah, I fear that if I were to want him – meaning ‘Uthmaan – to be killed, then I would be killed. But Allah knows from above His Throne that I did not want him to be killed.
Ar-Radd ‘ala al-Jahamiyyahby ad-Daarimi (83). There is a corroborating report via Mujaahid from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that was narrated by Na‘eem ibn Hammaad inal-Fitan(202).
Ibn al-‘Arabi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to her going out to the battle of the Camel, she did not go out to fight, but the people put pressure on her and complained to her about what was happening of grave turmoil and people killing one another. They were seeking her blessing (barakah) and they hoped that people would feel shy before her (and refrain from fighting) if she stood before them. She also thought that, so she went out, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):“There is no good in most of their secret talks save (in) him who orders Sadaqah (charity in Allah’s Cause), or Ma‘roof (Islamic Monotheism and all the good and righteous deeds which Allah has ordained), or conciliation between mankind/people” [an-Nisa’ 4:114]and“And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both” [al-Hujuraat 49:7]. The command to bring about reconciliation or make peace is addressed to all people, both male and female, free and slave. But Allah, may He be exalted, in accordance with His prior decree and wisdom, did not will that reconciliation should occur; rather fighting and casualities continued until both sides were almost eradicated, and some of them went to the Camel and hamstrung it. When the Camel fell down on its side, Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr went to ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and took her to Basra. Then she set out with thirty women, whom ‘Ali sent with her until they brought her back to Madinah safe and sound.

Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said, describing the battle of the Camel:
The arrows reached the howdah of the Mother of the Believers ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she started calling out: “Allah, Allah! O my sons, remember the Day of Reckoning!” And she raised her hands in supplication, praying against those people who had killed ‘Uthmaan, and the people raised their voices with her in supplication, until the sound of their cries reached ‘Ali and he said: What is this? They said: the Mother of the Believers is praying against the killers of ‘Uthmaan and their supporters.
He said: O Allah, curse the killers of ‘Uthmaan.
End quote fromal-Bidaayah wa’n-Nihaayah(7/270)
Al-Bukhaari narrated inal-Adab al-Mufrad(828) that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Whoever reviles ‘Uthmaan, upon him be the curse of Allah.
Ibn ‘Asaakir narrated in hisTareekh(39/487) from her (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I got angry for you when you were wronged with the whip and you do not expect me to get angry for ‘Uthmaan when he was wronged with the sword?! And when he responded to your objections, you killed him!
There are corroborating report narrated by Ibn ‘Asaakir (39/487-488); at-Tabari in hisTareekh(3/82-83); and Ibn Khayyaat in his Tareekh (p. 39).
She also used to praise ‘Ali and describe him as knowledgeable. Muslim (276) narrated that Shurayh ibn Haani’ said: I asked ‘Aa’ishah about wiping over the khuffayn and she said: Go to ‘Ali, for he knows more about that than I do.
To conclude, this report is false and is made up and fabricated; it is not permissible to narrate it. ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) only went out at the battle of the Camel in order to reconcile between people. She did not participate in the killing of ‘Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him) – not even as much as half a word – and neither did ‘Ali. Rather she denounced that and did not approve of it. She did not seek the killing of ‘Ali either, and that never crossed her mind. Allah, may He be exalted, protected her from what the fabricators claim.
And Allah knows best.

Saheeh (sound) hadeeths, Dought & Clear, - * Hadeeth about the one who is secure in his property

↓TRANSLATE THIS BLOG↓

What is the authenticity of the following hadeeth: the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When someone is secure in his property, healthy in his body and has his food for the day, it is as if he owned the entire world”.
Praise be to Allaah.
This hadeeth was narrated by Salamah ibn ‘Ubayd-Allaah ibn Mihsan al-Khatmi, from his father, who met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The one among you who wakes up secure in his property, healthy in his body and has his food for the day, it is as if the whole world were brought to him.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari inal-Adab al-Mufrad(no. 300) and by al-Tirmidhi inal-Sunan(2346). He said: It is hasan ghareeb.
Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, after narrating the hadeeth from a number of the Sahaabah: To sum up, the hadeeth is hasan in sha Allaah, when taking into account the hadeeths of al-Ansaari and Ibn ‘Umar. And Allaah knows best. End quote.Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah(no. 2318).
Al-Mubaarakfoori (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, commenting on this hadeeth:
The words “The one among you who wakes up” means, among you O believers. “Secure” means not fearing an enemy. “In his property (fi sirbihi) means feeling secure within himself; it was also said that it means feeling secure within the group, i.e., within his family and dependents. And it was said that it means on his path or way, or that it means in his house. This was mentioned by al-Qaari quoting from some of the commentators. Al-Turbashti said:
Mu’aafa (translated as healthy) means safe and sound with no illness and sickness.
“In his body” means both outwardly and inwardly. “And has his food for the day” means enough food from halaal sources. “It is as if the whole world were brought to him.”
End quote. Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi(7/11)
Al-Manaawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The one for whom Allaah has combined the blessings of physical good health, a sense of security wherever he goes and sufficient provision for the day, and kept his family safe, has been given all type of blessings by Allaah, which others may not have in full, so he should not start his day without give thanks for that, by using these blessings in obedience to the One Who bestowed them on him, not in disobedience, or and he should never cease to remember Him.

Saheeh (sound) hadeeths, Dought & Clear, - * Are there any saheeh ahaadeeth which speak of the ransoming of the living and the dead during Ramadaan?

Share ::-

I heard from someone that Allaah ransoms just one of the dead Muslims every night, and that He does not ransom any of the living except on the last night of Ramadaan, when He ransoms the same number as the number of dead whom He ransomed during the month. Is this true?.
Praise be to Allaah.
After researching the matter, we did not find any ahaadeeth which say such a thing.
There are ahaadeeth which say that Allaah ransoms people from the Fire during Ramadaan, and that happens every night.
Some of these ahaadeeth are saheeh (sound), some are da’eef (weak), and some are mawdoo’ (fabricated).
Among the saheeh ahaadeeth which speak of that are the following:
1 – It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the first night of Ramadaan comes, the devils and mischievous jinn are chained up, and the gates of Hell are closed, and none of its gates are opened. The gates of Paradise are opened and none of its gates are closed. And a caller cries out: ‘O seeker of good, proceed; O seeker of evil, desist.’ And Allaah has people whom He frees (from the Fire), and that happens every day.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 682; Ibn Maajah, 1642; classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani inSaheeh al-Jaami’, 759.
2 – It was narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “At every breaking of the fast Allaah has people whom He redeems from the Fire, and that happens every night.”
Narrated by Ahmad, 21698; Ibn Maajah, 1643; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani inSaheeh Ibn Maajah.
The da’eef (weak) and mawdoo’ (fabricated) ahaadeeth that have been narrated on this topic include the following:
1 – The report narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him), according to which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the first night of Ramadaan comes, Allaah looks at His creation, and if Allaah looks at a person He will never punish him. And every day Allaah has one thousand thousand whom He ransoms from the Fire. On the twenty-ninth night Allaah ransoms a number equivalent to the number whom He has already ransomed during the entire month.”
This is a mawdoo’ hadeeth. SeeDa’eef al-Targheeb, 591 andal-Silsilah al-Da’eefah, 5468.
2 – It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Paradise is scented with incense and adorned throughout the year, in preparation for the beginning of the month of Ramadaan. On the first night of the month of Ramadaan, a wind called al-matheerah comes from beneath the Throne… And on each day of the month of Ramadaan at the time of breaking the fast, Allaah has one thousand thousand whom He ransoms from the Fire, all of whom deserved to go to Hell. And on the last day of the month of Ramadaan, Allaah ransoms on that day a number equivalent to all those whom He ransomed from the beginning of the month to the end.
This is a mawdoo’ hadeeth. SeeDa’eef al-Targheeb, 594.
3 – It was narrated that al-Hasan said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every night of Ramadaan Allaah has six hundred thousand whom He ransoms from the Fire. And on the last night Allaah ransoms a number equivalent to those whom He has already ransomed.”
This is a da’eef hadeeth. SeeDa’eef al-Targheeb, 598.
