Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Daily Lesson Shaykh Hamzah Maqbul Staying on Course.

Narrates a hadith,

which the,

many of them, have

designated as Sahih. Obviously, the only two sources

of Sahih hadith

in the world are not Bukhari Muslim, but

they are given they're recorded a special status

because of

the excellent

nature of their compilation.

But

as far as Sahih hadiths are concerned, you'll

find them in many other books. Bukhari Muslims

don't even represent half or quarter of the

total number of Sahih hadiths that are out

there. And this is something that people oftentimes

feel okay to dismiss a hadith just because

it's not a Bukhari and Muslim on the

top of their head.

This is this is not a it's not

good. You should wait for what the ulema

say. If the hadith is sahi, it's sahi.

And the hadith of Bukhari is not more

sahi than the hadith of something other than

it. Because the honor and the nobility of

a hadith doesn't come from the fact that

Bukhari or Muslim narrated it, comes from the

fact that the messenger of Allah

said it. So say,

one of the 4

one of the 4

narrators from the sahaba that narrated a great

number of a hadith.

He narrates from the Messenger of Allah that

a time shall come over my ummah,

that will be very that it will be

very much, like Banu Israel. We read the

stories of Banu Israel in the Quran. The

reason for that is not to make fun

of them or to feel superior to them.

The reason that there are so many stories

of

in the Quran is going to be,

spoken about in this very hadith. That there

shall come a time over my,

like the time that came over

and they will follow them

That just where their foot falls, the the

the the footprints of their sandals went, the

footprints of the sandals of the people of

this will go.

Obviously not all individuals, but as a general

trend.

To the point where if

a person from was

to

was to commit with his own mother,

someone from this would do the same thing.

Now again, this is these are very rare

hadiths that you'll find,

expressions like this being said by the prophet

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Generally speaking, he's very,

he has too much to say stuff like

this. The only time he'll say it and

it's very rare, it's very sparing,

is when some example like this is needed

in order to convey a Haqq that people

otherwise will not,

take to heart.

And it's true. We we think that Muslims

are immune to everything. Whatever is happening to

the and whatever is happening to the,

it's happening to this as well.

All social norms regarding homosexuality,

regarding gender, regarding

family,

regarding,

regarding just all sorts of different things that

that were unimaginable even 50 years ago. Those

things are all being broken right now. And,

it's not, you know, they'll say, oh, look,

these people are very progressive and these people

are very forward thinking and they're bringing enlightenment.

They're not doing any of that. They're just

imitating the the, the

people that came before.

So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam informs us

of that. That's why when we read the,

stories of al Islam in the Quran, the

reason we should read them one of the

reasons we should read them is that a

flag should go up in our head, that

these are tendencies that we are we shouldn't

allow ourselves to fall prey to and that

we should protect our ummah from.

And then the prophet

then mentioned, he says, verily, Banu Isfa'il

broke and scattered into

72 different,

72 different,

deans, if it were, or versions of their

deen. And my ummah will

scatter into 73.

It will scatter into 73 different versions,

and all of them will be in the

fire except for 1,

which

obviously was a matter of some concern for

the Sahaba,

because 1 out of 73 is not like

a you know, it doesn't seem at further

glance to be a great shot.

So they asked, you Rasulullah, who are who

are who is that one group out of

the 73 groups that's gonna make it? And

the Messenger of

Allah said,

the one that

is the path that I'm on and the

path that my,

companions are on. May Allah be pleased with

them.

Just a quick note regarding this hadith,

the

groups or the the setup that are being

talked about here,

there's a lot of people who in their

kind of naivety

or in their, lack of education,

they'll say, oh, look. See? That's why Hanafi,

Shafari,

and Maturid, and Athari, and

and all of these other kind of different

theological schools within.

We shouldn't separate into all of these because

all of them are going to go to

* except for what the prophet is on.

There's a difference between a madhab and there's

a difference between a firqa. A madhab is

alright. It's good. There are certain matters that

there are differences of opinion. No 2 human

beings will ever agree on everything, ever, anyway.

There are differences of opinion regarding amongst

the as well.

Those are different.

They're okay.

The thing that the messenger of Allah is

alluding to here is people who have different,

different,

conceptions of the deen with regards to the

foundation of the the foundations of the deen.

Who is Allah? Who is the messenger

You know, what is, what are the basic

foundations

of the deen?

And and, you know, without any mistake, all

of the different

and

the

and

the and the and the and Arabic grammar.

There's

the they have long, debates as to whether

or not, you know, simple things. What, you

know, the what's the

the word etcetera, etcetera. They have long debates.

They don't agree they agree to disagree with

one another. These things have nothing to do

with the of Islam. These things are all

okay. What is something that's not okay? You

know, if someone says, well, I believe there's

a prophet that's gonna come after the prophet

Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. I believe Allah

makes mistakes. I believe that, you know, we

have the right to reinterpret something that the

messenger of Allah gave

an interpretation for. And this definition that the

prophet gave,

that that deen that I'm on and that

deen that my,

companions are on, that is a really beautiful

definition because the only people who accept the

prophet

and his companions

to be authorities in deen is

the.

Right? Most people think that being a Sunni

just means you're not Shia. That's not what

being Sunni is. Being Sunni has its own

positive identity. And the tradition of the

is a positive tradition. It's it doesn't just

mean that you you're not a Shia. It

means that you accept the dean of the

and this hadith is very important and this

book is also important for the reason we're

reading the book. It's

important to know what is it in fact

that these

are on. Before a person says, oh, well,

we need to reinterpret this and reinterpret that

and have a renaissance and have a have

a new enlightenment regarding Islam. Oftentimes those things

are just coded ways of saying,

we want to jettison the tradition and the

precedence that were set forth, for us, by,

the messenger of Allah and his companions

who Allah make us amongst those who are

from that.

One group which is saved and which is

which is accepted by Allah

and keep us in our community and our

loved ones away from. The other, 72 groups

or whatever pulls a person to the fire.

I just a small note. There's a typo

in this hadith.

Right? The word milla is written with a

sod in it, milsa.

Typos are very frequent in books. They're very

frequent in books.

Unfortunately, the exacting nature with which editors used

to go over books in the old days,

they're not it's

not same as it is from before. I

just thought I'd point that out that oftentimes,

in order to see is this a typo

or is it not, it required a bit

of research. So just to talk about 1

hadith for 5 minutes, sometimes it takes, you

know, half an hour, an hour of, of

research to see what these things are. It's

something that should be appreciated. We should cultivate.

You know, it's one of the beautiful things

about the Arabic language is you cannot read

it like English, like brainlessly read it. You

have to constantly engage with the text because

there's no diacritical marks. You have to see

is this a verb, is it a noun,

etcetera, etcetera. You have to know grammar and

morphology. But one nice thing is is it

makes everybody into an editor. Your mind can

see is there a mistake in it or

is it not. So inshallah, we should also

make intention to learn

our children learn these things as well so

that they can read things critically.
