Da'eef (weak) hadeeths, Dought & clear, - * Fabricated Hadeeth About Praying Two Rak‘ahs Every Thursday During Sha‘ban

Share ::-

I received a message like this in my e-mail: Praying two rak‘ahs every Thursday during Sha‘ban: The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) said: “Whoever prays two rak‘ahs at that time, reciting in each rak‘ah the Opening of the Book (al-Fatihah) and “Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad” (Surah al-Ikhlas) one hundred times, and when he says the salam, he sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) one hundred times, Allah will fulfill all his needs in his religious and worldly affairs.” I would like to find out how sound these words are and how to do these two rak‘ahs, seeing that it mentions reciting Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad one hundred times; is this recitation to be completed during the two rak‘ahs or afterwards?
Praise be to Allah
This hadeeth (narration) has no basis in the books of Sunnah (prophetic teachings). It would appear to be one of the fabricated hadeeths that speak of the virtues of praying in Sha‘ban. A number of hadeeths were fabricated and falsely attributed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) about the virtues of Sha‘ban and pray during this month, and the night of the fifteenth of the month. Al-‘Allamah Ibn Hajar al-Haytami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: All the hadeeths which speak of the virtues of this night – meaning the night of the first Friday of Rajab and the night of the fifteenth of Sha‘ban – are false and have no basis, even though they appear in some books by major scholars such as al-Ghazali’s Ihya ‘Uloom ad-Deen and so on. End quote.
Al-Fatawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra, 1/184
Similarly, hadeeths were fabricated about the virtue of praying on certain days of the week.
Ash-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: With regard to what is said about praying on Sunday, Monday or other days of the week, there is no dispute among the scholars of hadeeth that these are fabricated hadeeths and that this prayer is not regarded as mustahabb (recommended) by any of the leading scholars. End quote.
Al-Fawaid al-Mawdoo‘iyyah, 1/74
So it is not permissible to act upon this false and fabricated hadeeth. The saheeh (authentic) hadeeths are sufficient for the one who wants to truly follow the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
And Allah knows best.

Plural marriage and fair treatment of co-wives, Dought & clear, - * Her co-wife threatens her, is hostile towards her and does not greet her with salaam

What to do when you are married to the same brother and the first wife
threatens you and curses at you and will only give salaams when around
other people to save face but doesn't speak when no one else is
around. Ive been married for 9years to him her longer.
Praise be to Allaah.
She has to bear it with patience as much as possible, and not repay
evil with evil. She should respond to her co-wife's provocations by
keeping silent and keeping calm. If she can write her a letter
expressing her views, this is good. Then after that she will not be
responsible for what she (her co-wife) does, because she will have
done what she is obliged to do.
Shaykh Muhammad al-Duwaysh
Adhere to the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):
"and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back
with mild words of gentleness"[al-Furqaan 25:63]
"Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allaah orders the
faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse
those who treat them badly) then verily he, between whom and you there
was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend"[Fussilat
41:34]
Know that there is no better way of dealing with her than fearing
Allaah concerning her when disobeys Allaah with regard to you..
And Allaah is the Guide to the straight path.

Plural marriage and fair treatment of co-wives, Dought & clear, - * There is no hadeeth which says thata wife’s permission is required before taking another wife

Is there a hadith that relates to a husband needing the permission of
present wife to marry 2nd wife?
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no hadeeth which states that, and it is not conditional for
the husband to have his wife's permission to take another wife. But it
is in everyone's interests for him to try to get her consent, because
this will help to reduce problems in the marriage.

Imp of Islamic Months, - * Rabi al-Awwal

Share ::-

Rabi al-Awwal is the third month of Islamic Lunar Calendar and comes after Safar al-Muzaffar. Azadari (mourning)remains continue till the 8th of this month. The month of Rabi al-Awwal (the First Spring Season) of Islamic Lunar Calendar is well known in the entire Muslim world as Shahr al-Mawhid (the Month of Birth) of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The precise date of his birth is disputed among the historians, but Ayatullah Ruhullah Musawi al-Khomeini (ra), the founder of the Islamic revolution had declared the week between 9th and 17th Rabi al-Awwal as "Usboo al-Wahda" meaning "the week of unity amongst Muslims." Muslims all over the world are urged to get together and celebrate (Eid-E-Milad un Nabi) the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for the whole week. Sunnis and Shias are two arms (Bazoo) of the Islam. Ayatullah Ruhullah Musawi al-Khomeini (ra)
Rabi al-Awwal is an exceptional month in the Islamic Calendar and it held great significance in the life of beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). As we all know Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born in this month. He began his journey of Hijrahduring this month and built the first Mosque of Islam, Masjid Quba in this month. The first Jummah was established in this month.
Hence Rabi al-Awwal is the month of birth celebration of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The birth of the best of Allah's (SWT) creation and the last to be sent with the divine message for the guidance of humanity on a whole is, without doubt, a day to take as one of thanks and reverence to Allah (SWT). Unlike the ways followers of other faiths commemorate the births of their guiding prophet, Muslim celebration of Eid-E-Milad un Nabi is one in which we gather to discuss the bounty and favour which Allah (SWT) has blessed us with by guiding us to the path of Islam and the teachings of the final Messenger of Allah (pbuh). We indulge in Fikr (thought) and Dhikr (remembrance) and what it means to be a follower of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Eid-E-Milad un Nabi is celebrated by Muslims with great devotion and reverence throughout the world. But often it has been seen that devotees do not reflect on the message of the person whom they so venerate. It just becomes a tradition rather than occasion for deep reflection. Muslims also refer to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as Mohsin-e-Insaniat i.e. the benefactor of humanity but hardly care to know in what respect he became benefactor? So, we can call him a liberator of humanity only if we follow his teachings in our personal lives.
Balaghal-ula bi-kamaali-hi (He attained exaltation by his perfection)
Kashafad-duja bi-jamaali-hi (He dispelled darkness by his beauty)
Hasunat jamee'u khisaali-hi (Beauteous are all his qualities)
Sallu alai-hi wa aalihi (Benediction be on him and on his family)
