Explanation of Hadeeth, “The one who does not care about the Muslims is not one of them.”
I want to be certain of the soundness of the hadeeth (prophetic narration) and the narrator of the hadeeth.
-
Praise be to Allah.
This hadeeth was narrated by a number of the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them), but the isnads (chains of transmission) are all munkar (denounced) and very da’eef (weak). Details of this follow:
-1-
It was narrated from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“The one whose main concern is this world has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not fear Allah has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them.”
This hadeeth was narrated via several isnads from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him).
(i)
From Shaqeeq ibn Salamah from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him):
It was narrated by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak (4/352) and Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Mawdoo’at (3/132) via Ishaq ibn Bishr, Sufyan al-Thawri narrated to us, from al-A’mash, from Shaqeeq.
This isnad is very da’eef and munkar because of Ishaq ibn Bishr. In his biography in Meezan al-I’tidal (1/184) it says: Ibn Hibban said: This hadeeth is not acceptable. Al-Daraqutni said: He is a liar whose hadeeth are rejected (matrook). He narrated seriously wrong haadeeths from Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Jurayj and al-Thawri. End quote. Hence al-Dhahabi said in al-Talkhees: I think the report is fabricated (mawdoo’). End quote. Ibn al-Jawzi said: This hadeeth is not saheeh (authentic), and the one who is accused is Ishaq. End quote. It was classed as da’eef by al-‘Iraqi in Takhreej al-Ihya (2/180).
(ii)
From Abu’l-‘Aliyah from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him).
This was narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu’jam al-Awsat (7/270) and al-Sagheer (2/131), and from him by Abu Nu’aym in Akhbar Isbahan (5/252), via ‘Abd-Allah ibn Abi Ja’far al-Razi, from his father, from al-Rabee’, from Abu’l-‘Aliyah. Al-Tabarani said: He only narrated this hadeeth from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) with this isnad, and ‘Abd-Allah ibn Abi Ja’far al-Razi was the only one who narrated it.
This isnad is da’eef and munkar.
The narration of ‘Abd-Allah from Abu Ja’far is dubious and not acceptable.
See the biography of ‘Abd-Allah ibn Abi Ja’far in Tahdheeb al-Tahdheeb (12/57) and (5/177).
It has a third isnad that was mentioned by al-Suyooti in al-La a li’ al-Masnoo’ah (2/266). Its isnad was classed as da’eef jiddan (very weak) by al-Shaykh al-Albani, because of the dubious narrators it contains as well as some unknown narrators.
-2-
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allah ibn Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“Whoever starts his day caring about something other than Allah has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them.”
Narrated by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak (4/356) and Abu ‘Abd-Allah al-Daqqaq in Majlis Imla fi Ruyat Allah (no. 396) and Ibn Bashran in al-Amali (no. 395).
Via Ishaq ibn Bishr, Muqatil ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Hammad, from Ibraheem, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) in a marfoo’ report (one attributed to the Prophet).
This isnad is also munkar.
We have mentioned above the scholars’ comments about Ishaq ibn Bishr. Hence al-Dhahabi said in Talkhees al-Mustadrak: Ishaq and Muqatil are not thiqah (trustworthy) and not honest.
-3-
It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“The one who starts his day with his main concern being worldly affairs has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them, and whoever willingly accepts humiliation without being forced is not one of us.”
This was narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu’jam al-Awsat (1/29) via Yazeed ibn Rabee’ah, from Abu’l-Ash’ath al-San’ani from Abu ‘Uthman al-Nahdi, from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: It was narrated only by Yazeed ibn Rabee’ah.
This isnad is also munkar.
It includes Yazeed ibn Rabee’ah al-Rahbi, of whom al-Bukhari said: His haadeeths are munkar (denounced). Al-Nasai said: He is matrook (rejected). See Meezan al-I’tidal (4/422). It was also classed as da’eef by al-Haythami in Majma’ al-Zawaid (10/433) and by al-‘Iraqi in Takhreej al-Ihya (2/180).
-4-
It was narrated from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“Whoever starts his day caring about something other than Allah has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them.”
Narrated by Ibn ‘Adiyy in al-Kamil (7/67) and al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Eeman (7/361) via Wahb ibn Rashid, Farqad al-Subkhi narrated to us, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).
This includes Wahb ibn Rashid, of whom al-Daraqutni said: He is matrook. Ibn Hibban said: It is not permissible to quote it as evidence. Meezan al-I’tidal (4/352). Al-Bayhaqi said: Its isnad is da’eef. It also includes Farqad al-Subkhi who is da’eef al-hadeeth and makes a lot of mistakes.
To conclude: the isnads of this hadeeth are all very weak (da’eef), and are not supported by the fact that there are many of them. So it is not permissible to attribute the hadeeth to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The hadeeth was classed as da’eef in all its isnads by al-Shaykh al-Albani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (no. 309-312).
But there is no need for it because there is a great deal of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah which calls on Muslims to love one another and show compassion towards one another, and states that brothers in faith must take care of one another. For example, Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.”
[al-Hujurat 49:10]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of the body; when one part of it is in pain, the rest of the body joins it in restlessness and fever.” Narrated by al-Bukhari (6011) and Muslim (2586).
And Allah knows best.

Engagment, - Dought & clear, - * How should he tell her that he wants to marry her?

gb

I was recently informed of this site, ma'shallah. What is the correct way to approach a sister whom you intend to marry ? I've known this sister my entire life, in the same regard as my own blood sister and recently it was brought to my attention that she would be a perfect candidate for marriage. I believe she respects me, but I am unsure if she can accept me as her spouse. How can I know ? And what is the correct, halal way to approach ? I have nothing but the best intentions, yet my entire life I always felt I would marry her, yet out of respect I have never approached. My father and aunt (my mother has passed, allah yarham ha) are very fond of her and encourage me to pursue her, since they know her and her family extremly well.

Praise be to Allaah.
If a man feels that his heart is inclined towards a particular woman, he should follow the way that is permitted in Islam, which is marriage. If a person intends to marry a woman, he has to propose marriage to her through her wali (guardian), who is her father if he is alive, or one of her other close relatives. It is not permissible for a man to propose marriage to a woman who is not his mahram through ways that are not permissible according to sharee’ah, such as getting to know her or meeting her frequently or getting in touch with her often and speaking on the phone; these are means through which Iblees causes people to sin and which lead to regrettable consequences. It is not permissible for a person to justify his relationship with a girl by saying that she is like his sister and other silly excuses. You have to follow the proper channels as prescribed in Islam to marry this woman. When you propose marriage, it is o.k. if you try to win her over by giving her a gift through her wali. We ask Allaah to give us and you strength and to keep us away from haraam things. And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Engagment, - Dought & clear, - * Marrying someone who is infected with and is a carrier of hepatitis B

gb

What is the Islamic ruling on marrying someone who has hepatitis B, knowing that this disease is transmitted sexually and through the blood, and may also be transmitted via saliva (although there is no medical consensus on the latter)? The question here is about a man who has the virus but his liver is healthy, i.e., he is a carrier of the virus only, which means that the virus is hidden in some tissues such as the liver and it is not multiplying, but the possibility that it may revive and become active remains constant. The woman whom he wants to marry has been vaccinated against this disease previously, and the doctor says that there is no danger to her from the virus in this case, and Allaah knows best. If marriage is not forbidden in this case, we hope that you can advise the sick person as to how he should speak about this disease when he proposes marriage; for example, when exactly should he tell the woman and what should he say?.

Praise be to Allaah.
The one who is a carrier of hepatitis B or has the disease may get married to a healthy woman or a woman who is infected with this disease, if she accepts that after he tells her about his situation.
It is not permissible for him to get married unless he tells her about his sickness, because concealing that is deceit which is haraam. If he conceals it, then his wife finds out about that, she has the right to annul the marriage.
It is well known medically that most people who get hepatitis B can resist it and expel it from the body, but there is a proportion of people, between five and 10%, whose bodies cannot get rid of it, so they become carriers of the disease, and in a small number the disease may develop into cirrhosis of the liver, cancer of the liver, liver failure or death. In addition to that, in 10% of those infected, the disease may become chronic and the person becomes a carrier of the virus and is able to spread the sickness to others.
The carrier of the virus usually does not have any signs or symptoms of sickness, as his liver enzymes appear normal, but he remains infected for a number of years or maybe for the rest of his life, and he is able to transmit the virus to others. Most carriers of the virus do not suffer from any real problems with hepatitis B. Although they have good health, a few of them may be more susceptible than others to chronic liver infection, cirrhosis and tumours of the liver. The tumours usually grow in people who have developed cirrhosis of the liver.
In order to prevent spread of this virus via carriers of the virus, it is essential to do the following:
1. He should not engage in sexual activity unless the other party has immunity or has had the necessary vaccinations against this virus; otherwise he must wear a condom.
2. He should not donate blood or plasma or any part of his body to others, or share razor blades, toothbrushes or nail clippers.
3. He should not swim in swimming pools if he has any wounds on his skin.
4. His family members should be tested and vaccinations should be given to those who are not carriers of the virus and who do not have any immunity.
End quote.
See the articleAmraad al-Kabd wa Zaraa’at al-Kabd, by Dr. Ibraaheem ibn Hamad al-Tareef.
As to how to tell the woman he wants to propose to do about that, he should explain the facts to her at the time of proposal, and tell her that he is healthy and well, but tests have shown the presence of this virus, and the doctor has told him that she will not be harmed because she has been vaccinated against it. If she agrees to marry him, then all well and good, and if she refuses and prefers to be safe and not take the risk, then she may do that.
And Allaah knows best.
