The next Hadith again is a very popular narration that's mentioned

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

it's one of those which are considered to be motivated.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

Continuously narrated from us all allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

over the generations through numerous

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

chains, numerous Sahaba men kadaga Allah Yamata ammidon Forget about

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

what Nakada who Mina now, whoever intentionally lies about me should

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

take his seat in hellfire

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

Buhari and Muslim, so they should know for themselves that they've

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

done such a bad deed they should just be prepared to go to the

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

hellfire.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:41

And the reason for that is very clear. Our Deen revolves around

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

Rasulullah sallallahu It was simple. If it wasn't for him, we

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

would not be guided because the Quran that came to him, it's the

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

words of Allah subhanaw taala but it was revealed to the Prophet

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

salallahu alayhi wa sallam and all the explanation that he has

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58

provided an older has provided an all the other Quran, the Hadith,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

the Sunnah, that he has demonstrated, and one of the

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

explanations that he has provided the guidance that he has given,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

what are those from us, all of us have Allahu alayhi wa sallam. So

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

if anybody is then saying that oh Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14

this, or there's a narration in which it says this from Rasulullah

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

sallallahu they're making something up for whether it's for

00:01:17 --> 00:01:22

pious gain or for any reason a fabrication is a fabrication. The

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

Rasul Allah says, he should just consider that he's got to sit in

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

the Hellfire

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

because it is when a person attributes falsely to Rasulullah

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

sallallahu alayhi wasallam even if he thinks is for a pious end, it's

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40

just you do not do that. The reason is that everything was sort

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

of lost that allows him said as Allah says in the Quran, in her

00:01:43 --> 00:01:49

Illa wagon you have it's a way that Allah subhanho wa Taala it's

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

a way that is being revealed to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

00:01:52 --> 00:01:58

sallam, Ma Yun dico Anil Hawa, he does not speak just out of his

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03

whims and desires. Everything he says when it's related to the deen

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

is from Allah subhana wa Tada. So if we're saying that the province

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11

of Allah Himself said this, or this, about this, or that, then we

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

are essentially saying that Allah said this, and this is what Allah

00:02:14 --> 00:02:20

wants. So it is both an aggression and a violation against the rights

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and also the rights of

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

Allah subhanaw taala. Now you can imagine that if a person is

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

committing a falsehood against or attributing falsehood to Allah

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

subhanaw taala, that he did this or he said this, whereas he

00:02:34 --> 00:02:39

didn't, you can imagine the sin for that. And one of the main

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

reasons for this is

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

when a person lies, this is not a personal deed that they're doing.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

It isn't the harms of it are not restricted to themselves, because

00:02:49 --> 00:02:54

clearly they are lying to others. What this is not referring and

00:02:54 --> 00:02:59

this would be far fetched, for it to be taken to mean that a person

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

is lying to himself that oh Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

this to himself, that will be a different story. That's where the

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

shebang overcomes a person a person enters into doing better

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

and innovations, reprehensible innovations, this is clearly

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

speaking about conveying to others something that Rasulullah

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

sallallahu did not say, making up something like that, that is what

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

that does, then is you are then spreading falsehoods, you are

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

giving a distorted understanding of the D you are providing

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

something which you know, that is totally wrong.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

Now, if somebody mistakenly does this is her narration from

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

someone, and he thought the person was reliable, and he passed it on,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

then clearly there, there wouldn't be that would be an excuse. But a

00:03:38 --> 00:03:43

person needs to be careful needs to be very careful before relating

00:03:43 --> 00:03:49

narrations, especially those ones. Having said that, every time you

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

get a text message, or an email one of those forwarded text

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

messages or emails that say, Oh, the price of aluminum said this,

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

and there's no reference or proper referencing for it. Ask the

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

person, can you please verify the reference before you send this

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

out? Because these things become viral? Right? Some people have

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

this habit of sending out a hadith every week on Joomla, for example,

00:04:13 --> 00:04:18

or some other day, where it just goes viral like that. I remember a

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

number of occasions.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

And these are really decreased. Because every time somebody sent

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

me one, I'll first ask, can you please verify this narration?

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

Right? I've never heard it before. Can you please verify where it's

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

strong? Oh, I'll get a response. Oh, somebody else sent it to me.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

So I'm just sending it on as though that's an excuse.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

So I think commonly we need to understand just because you got

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

free SMS or text messages. You don't just forward this stuff on

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

because you may be doing it in sha Allah with the with an intention

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

of piety.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

But what happens is, you're committing a major deed, a major,

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

major sin in this if it's a fabricated duration,

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

a spirit

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

As narration a problematic narration, or misunderstood

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

narration, or whatever it may be, so always verify your sources.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

Having said that, we must then become

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

extremely suspicious about everything to the level where if a

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18

hadith or if we reject it as some people do today, that's not the

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

point. Right? That's not the point. The point is that when you

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

don't know the source of something, make sure you find out

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

a lot. A lot of the time when people get text messages from

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

people that are unknown, you all you see is the number you don't

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

know who's from could be shaytaan, some shaytaan out there doing

00:05:33 --> 00:05:37

this, we don't know. Somebody just and it might sound very pious, you

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

may think that oh, it leads to good things, encouraging people to

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

do something good. But isn't this sufficient in what Rasulullah

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

sallallahu has told us? Or couldn't you say these encouraging

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

words even if they're nice, wise words, because there are many of

00:05:48 --> 00:05:54

these narrations, which are considered to be a very high level

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

of wisdom? Very wise statement? Don't say Thomas, will allah

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

sallallahu Sallam just say it's been reported from somewhere, some

00:06:01 --> 00:06:06

wise man said, no problem. A wise man said it is a Hadith of

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

Rasulullah sallallahu. And well, he's a wise man. And you have to

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

be careful. That's why some of the Sahaba was so careful, like I do,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:15

like the minister or the Hola, Juan. Once he was relating a

00:06:15 --> 00:06:19

narration and he said, Call her soul allies and Allah Almighty or

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23

Salam, professionalism said, and then he used some words he made a

00:06:23 --> 00:06:27

you know, he related what he thought, then he said, Oh, call or

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

he said, and then he related another statement, using UTF,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

eight to the same point with different words. He says, Oh,

00:06:34 --> 00:06:38

girl, and then he just started shaking, because he couldn't he

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

became very confused as to exactly what words we use about us, well,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:46

Allah and Allah is Allah and his policy or his methodology, rather,

00:06:47 --> 00:06:52

his practice was rewire belove. There are two types of rewire in

00:06:52 --> 00:06:57

general, one is reliable love, and there is reliable mariner. And

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

clearly the reader might have come to a decision like amongst you

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

mentioned very clearly in step three, that if they were

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

restricted

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

from relating

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

the meaning of what was related, or what they had heard from

00:07:12 --> 00:07:16

Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, and if they were forced and obligated

00:07:16 --> 00:07:21

to relate only verbatim words, and the words exactly as heard from us

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

or allah sallallahu Sallam and then from the next Sahabi and so

00:07:24 --> 00:07:28

on, then we would not have the number of a hadith narrations that

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

we do, it would have been very difficult to maintain the faith,

00:07:31 --> 00:07:35

because it is so difficult to remember the exact words, but the

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

majority accepted reliable manner, which means the majority accepted,

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

narrating you narrating the meaning as long as the person

00:07:43 --> 00:07:48

understood what the sahabi Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam had

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

said, majority of narrations are like that. That's why you have so

00:07:51 --> 00:07:55

many differences. That's why you will take the narrations of some

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

Sahaba over others, if there's a dispute between them. For example,

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

if Abdullah Masuda day alone said something, and Abdullah, Abu

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

Huraira, the Allahu Anhu said, to speak at about the same point. But

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

there's a difference between the two, you'll take Abdullah numbers,

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

are they alone because he was a jurist. He'd stayed longer with

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, he would sit closer to us what Allah

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

salAllahu alayhi salam insalata and so on. So he had a better

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

position, he was in a better position to have understood

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

correctly, what sort of loss of a loved one had said, whereas Abu

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

Huraira the alone was not as great a jurist as I believe, most older

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

their loved one was, so there's a way to deal with these things. But

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

Abdullah was already on the he's known that he among some other

00:08:37 --> 00:08:41

Sahaba as well, who buckler, the hola Juan he destroyed all the

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

Hadith that he had collected in writing, because he became

00:08:44 --> 00:08:49

slightly doubtful about exactly the words and things. So he he he

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

destroyed them.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:56

But not all the Sahaba did that. Otherwise, it'd be very difficult.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

Like that's what you call reliably loved a whoo hoo. Abdullah

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

certainly alone become very preterm, we become very scared,

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

very frightened. That Am I really relating the exact words of

00:09:06 --> 00:09:09

Rasulullah sallallahu. Some are not. But as I mentioned, the

00:09:09 --> 00:09:14

majority say it's okay, to reliable manner to reliable minor.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

Having said that, going back to the issue of these, these text

00:09:18 --> 00:09:22

messages when you do get them next time, the only way we can stop

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

this and curb this is to actually write back instead of forwarding

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

on and say, Can you please find out about this? And if it's

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

something that you don't get a positive answer, or an accurate

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

answer, whatever, and you really think it's something that people

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

could benefit from, we'll just change it slightly. Don't take off

00:09:40 --> 00:09:45

that Rasulullah sallallahu you can say it has been said, or it's a

00:09:45 --> 00:09:49

report that's been mentioned or a wise person said, or something of

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

that nature, or these are some beautiful things. You could do it

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

or do something like that, because one has to be very careful that

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

this is a narration you know, when you look at Hadith narrations,

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

you've got

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

mutawatir you've got my show and so on. For example, Elijah Looney

00:10:06 --> 00:10:10

Angelou and I believe today's in Jordan, north of Jordan,

00:10:11 --> 00:10:17

Middle East sham area, he compiled an entire collection called, it's

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

called Cashville hover or Mozila il bas I'm Masha Allah, middle

00:10:21 --> 00:10:28

Hadith Allah al Synod Enos. So this is to open up or to reveal to

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

reveal the

00:10:31 --> 00:10:38

the obscurity to clarify or clear the obscurity and remove the

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

confusion, right about those narrations that are popularly

00:10:42 --> 00:10:46

related on the tongues of people. Because this has always been a

00:10:46 --> 00:10:50

tradition, someone says something that was sounds kind of wise. And

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

then somebody just picks it up from them. And then they spread

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

it. They don't know where it really came from, what exactly the

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

status of that narration is. So in there, he's collected all of these

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

narrations that are popularly mentioned, that will probably be

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

mentioned. And he's mentioned that you know, which are accurate,

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

which are reliable, which are Saheeh, which are not which are

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

fabricated, he mentioned who they are more classical Huseynov

00:11:08 --> 00:11:12

Alhama. So, he is another one. He did he was before he loony and he

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15

did some work in that there are other books as well of that

00:11:15 --> 00:11:15

nature.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:21

Essentially, what you have is most of the Hadees that we have are not

00:11:21 --> 00:11:26

necessarily narrated from 10 or 15 Sahaba, meaning the same narration

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

with 10 or 15 Sahaba. There are many narration that for example,

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

the first hadith of Buhari, which is in the Malama Rubinius. In that

00:11:32 --> 00:11:37

particular way, is related from Burma with the Allah one. Right,

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

it's rated for Ramadan, the Allah one. So

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

then you've got some narrations which may be ranging from two or

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

three, then you've got very few narrations, which, maybe 10,

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

numerators, 10, Sahaba, 1520, Sahaba have related, and then from

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

the next generation, about at least 2030 people are related the

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

next generation 2030. So which has a widespread narration in every

00:12:02 --> 00:12:07

single generation, there are very few Hadith like that, because you

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

can have some that were very popular before, but then only one

00:12:10 --> 00:12:14

or two people have them related to the next generation, from the

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

second generation to the third generation, for example, or

00:12:16 --> 00:12:20

sometimes you've got a real narration, which is only once a

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

hobby narrated or two, and then after that many students related

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

it from them, so it became more proliferated afterwards. But if

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

you've got a constant,

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

widespread narration in every generation, that's what the Hadith

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

which you call mutawatir, and this is one of those Hadees, which are

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

Mutata. And it actually has a bearing on the meaning as well.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

It's a multilateral Hadith, and it also shows that you have to be

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

careful about the kind of things that you relate
