This is super important.
Verifying the nature of the event and ensuring
it matches the description of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallamah
in 3 areas,
100%.
What are the areas that it has to
match up? The time. So when I said
earlier, people were saying the Battle of Khutba
is the end of time. Doesn't doesn't doesn't
fall into the context
of all the hadith about the fitan. The
Battle of Khutbah is going to happen during
the time of Sayid Nai Isa alaihis salatu
salam.
The other example I gave was when people
were saying, oh, there's no Hajj this year.
It means it's the day of judgment. It
doesn't align with the context of the Hadith
when all of the Hadith are brought together.
It becomes very clear that the that the
Hajj is going to be abandoned in a
time after Sayna Issa has died,
and very few believers
are left on the face of the earth.
Until in fact the prophet said in another
hadith,
even Allah's name is not mentioned,
then the Hajj will be abandoned. It's not
talking about 2020 and covid bro.
Relax, man. Stop eating so many hot cheetos
and drinking strawberry pop. That caffeine got you
lit.
So you have to be very careful.
You have to make sure contextually it's correct.
In that it applies to the right
description.
So for example,
read a hadith
in Sahih Muslim. The prophet said, the hour
will not start until you fight the Turks.
Is that now? You're gonna go fight the
Turks. Now the Turks are Muslims.
So obviously,
it is not contextually appropriate
nor does it apply to those Atraq.
As Imam Anawi said, that battle happened before
the time of Imam Anawi, Rahimohullah, before the
Turks accepted Islam.
