Nezan,

You guys prompted people to behave sub-consciously and half-madly at times. You so passionately enjoy abusing our-regarded sacred, unjokable and "unabusable" figures, which is most of the times unwarranted and uncalled for. Or even out of common sense. I, myself, many at times tried to quit this board and later thought better not to. Or start responding in the kind you do. Wallahi the whole thing is soooooo nauseated, Nezan.

Hope you get my point(s). Thanks

Cheerio!

Salam,

Mukinatu and Jarus. . .what a match!

How do you see bros and sis in the house?

Can a nominee vote himself?

My responses made sense even to you. Your background doesn't allow you acknowledge that openly

@nuclearboy,

How illogical you sound above?

Who are you then to think yours, i.e. background, doesn't influence you there? There is nothing "sensible" in everything you have been saying. If you think there is show me.

Leave my friend alone, Nezan.

Nezan:
^^ Hello, what are you saying? I cant get you.

Still[i] the[/i] Nezan I know? Wonder o!

Did you have to behave like him?

Hi there,

Please heed to zayhal hint guys. Thanks

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The strong man is not the one who wrestles, but the strong man is in fact the one who controls himself in a fit of rage.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].[/center]

@Usisky,

I pity you, wallahi. I seriously speaking really do pity you.

Although I see other Muslim brothers have responded to you, yet I'll, inshaAllah, respond further when I get back.

Bye

Wa'alaika Salam, brother Jarus

What a good initiative! May Allah, the Exalted, help our Muslim ummah unite and develop wherever in this world. May He strengthen our already loosen bonds, ameen.

Your story sounds very touching, and yet ubiquitous. My elder brother living in Bauchi had had encountered the same problem. He is a banker; he worked in Maiduguri, Yola, Kano and now Bauchi. With prayer, good hope and advices from friends, relatives and the likes he overcame it. He’s now a family man.

I don’t have much time, as you could have noticed I only log-in now. And I’ll leave now. But inshaAllah when I get back I’ll say more.

May Allah help you in your search for a good mother of your children, amen.

Nezan:
Has the guy disappeared from NairaLand?

Yeah; and he promises never to come back.

Lagosboy:
I am wondering as well, i was just about to post a thread asking after him as well.

Please bro if you read this , you dont have to leave NL.

Please come back

He thinks that is better for him. And, I think, ours is to wish him all the best.

But we really miss you, Abuzola.

Deep Sight:
O, to hell with that Jihadist.

See what he was defending here -

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-324169.0.html

Is that really coming from you, Deep Sight?

Was the above reply "deeply sighted" before submitting?

Nice topic, gambo s

I don't know actually why but I so frequently think of death these days. May Allah have mercy upon us, ameen.

Assalamu alaikum,

Narrated By Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah says, 'I have nothing to give but Paradise as a reward to my believer slave, who, if I cause his dear friend (or relative) to die, remains patient (and hopes for Allah's Reward)."

Bukhari - Volume 8 - Book 76 - Hadith 432[/center]

I smiled.

@Usisky,

I promptly visited one of those sites. I can't help but closing it after reading this: Does Hadith explain the Quran or the Quran explains what Hadith is all about?

Malam, may Allah guide you. Period!

@Usisky,

You are a typical Nigerian; ask questions to "answer" other questions.

Let me blunt to you, one more time; unless you categorically respond to my numerous questions or else I am gonna rest my case, and not because I am defeated but because you are deceptive.

Above "ultimatum" notwithstanding, I'll express my wonder--and no offence, pls. You sound shamelessly dumb, wallahi. How could a fully matured mind DISTRUST hadith and in the same line TRUST history books? What? History? Hmm. That reminds me of one succinct saying: history is nothing but a fable agreed upon.

Think reflectively, man! Whoever don't believe in Hadith don't believe in Qur'an, for the same people who compile the Qur'an report the hadith. . .or at least some. I asked you whether Qur'an was created or compiled = other questions. . .

Assalamu alaikum,

[center]Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:

He who called (people) to righteousness, there would be reward (assured) for him like the rewards of those who adhered to it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who called (people) to error, he shall have to carry (the burden) of its sin, like those who committed it, without their sins being diminished in any respect.

Muslim - Book 34 - Hadith 6470[/center]

@Usisky,

I still don’t forget; you deceitfully evaded my questions on how you perform those Islamic duties.

Here are more questions to answer:

*Among the Prophet’s, may Allah exalt his mention, companion only Zaid’s name is mentioned in the Qur’an. How do you know the names of some others?

*The Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, had married many wives during his lifetime: do you a name of any? If your answer is yes how did you?

*What do you know/believ of Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, Night Journey, i.e. Isra’ee and Mi’iraaj?

*Broadly speaking, how was Qur’an compiled? Who did the work? Or it’s created?

Let me read your answers before I continue. Thanks

Realtol:
Where did quran said the earth is circle? if it is so then yusuf(Boko Aram guy) is hell bound coz one of it(boko aram) belief is that the issue of the earth circle is western and it contradict quran. So who is lying here? I guess the poster!

Can I see where? I have had encounter with some of these misguided folks but I never knew this.

Mst!

Mine too was stolen @ BUK, during the last post-convocation lecture.

Lady 234:
The way they wrote it in true love(West Africa) edition was as if all muslims do view mast-urbation as not being wrong.

Thank God; you too say "as".

Salam,

I’ll first of all upfront and describe to you how I felt after reading your reply: I really felt nauseated, imaging how on earth someone who claims himself a Muslim could have uttered—or in this care written, such a words. How dreadful? Please don’t feel offended but you are really, really misguided. Only Allah, the Exalted, can re-guide you to the right path. I’ll, inshaAllah, be putting you and other erroneous Muslims in my prayers.

That aside, I actually get a lot to say; but I as usual I’ll begin by giving you some background information of my—our, i.e. Ahl Sunna, general belief and view of Noble Qur’aan, which is diametrically contrary to what you have naively stated above. That I resort to directly quote from one famous book by Shykh Naseer Al’Aql entitled The General Precepts of Ahlus- Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah. He succinctly yet aptly mentioned the following:

1 - The Qur'aan is the Speech (kalaam) of Allaah, in both wording and meaning. It was sent down and is uncreated (ghayr makhlooq). From Allaah it originated and to Him shall it return. It is an inimitable miracle, indicative of the truthfulness of what the Prophet (SAW) was sent with. Its text and meanings are preserved from corruption until the Day of judgment.

2 - Allaah the Most High Speaks whatever He wills, when He wills and how He wills. The Speech of Allaah is real (haqeeqah), with letter (harf) and voice (sawt), but we do not know about the modality and how it is (kayfiyyah), nor do we debate about it or delve into it.

3 - The view that the Speech of Allaah is only the meaning of what Allaah spoke to himself, or that the Qur'aan is a narrative (hikaayah), or an expression ('ibaarah), or a metaphor (majaaz) of Allaah's Speech, or that it is an effluent outpouring (faydh) - or other views similar to these - are all misguidance and deviation and could sometimes amount to disbelief (kufr).

4 - Whoever denies anything of the Qur'aan, or claims that parts of it have been deleted, added, or corrupted, is an unbeliever.

5 - It is obligatory to explain the Qur'aan in accordance with the well-known methodology of the Salaf. It is not permissible to explain the Qur'aan by mere opinion, since this amounts to speaking about Allaah without due knowledge. Explaining the Qur'aan using esoteric interpretations (ta`weelaatul-baatiniyyah) and its like is actually a form of kufr.

These points, I very much hope, need no more elaboration, right?

We believe that it’s Sunnah, i.e. hadith or as it’s called in the noble Qur’aan Hikmah that explains it—the Qur’aan. We can so much evidently enough realize that as nearly all Islamic practices are taught how to be performed via authenticated ahadith. Below is an ice-berg verse concretizing my assertion:

﴿هُوَ الَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى الأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَـبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴾

“He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His Ayat, purifying them, and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’aan] and the Hikmah[ (wisdom), i.e., Sunnah]. And verily, they had been before in manifest error.” (62:02).

I once again quote you another book by another great scholar, Sheikh Salman b. Fahd al-Oadah titled: The Prophetic Commentary of the Qur’ân:

Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) explained in his Sunnah everything of the Qur’ân
that needed to be explained. The question is: Does this mean that he explained all of the Qur’ân or only part of it?

Scholars have differed on this matter. Some, like al-Suyûtî, have expressed the opinion that he had to explain very little of the Qur’ân. Their opinion is based on the hadîth where `Â’ishah supposedly said: “The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not explain anything of the Qur’ân with his opinion save for a few verses.”21 However, this hadîth is unauthentic on account of its defective chain of transmission. One of its narrators is Ja`far al-Zubayrî, a weak narrator whose hadîth cannot be relied upon.

Other scholars claim that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) explained the Qur’ân in
its entirety. They mean that he explained all of the Qur’ân that could possibly need explanation, since there are verses of the Qur’ân that require no explanation at all.

Ibn `Abbâs said: “The explanation of the Qur’ân has four aspects to it. The first aspect comprises what is known by the Arabs by virtue of their language. When it is recited to the Arabs, they understand it. Then there are the explanations that no one is excused for not knowing. This includes the explanation of the verses related to Islamic legal injunctions and beliefs that people need to know. Then there are the explanations that are known only to scholars. These are subtle meanings that most people do not grasp. Then there are matters whose explanation is known only to Allah. These are the four aspects of
the explanation of the Qur’ân.”

In short, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) explained in his Sunnah everything of the Qur’ân that needed explaining. The Sunnah is, in essence, the commentary of the Qur’ân, and it explains the Qur’ân in four ways:

1-Verbal (textual) explanation of the Qur’ân, e.g. this contains huge expatiation. And it’s self-explanatory. . .as the name implies.

2-Prophetic statements derived from meanings found in the Qur’ân, e.g. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “A worshipper is closest to his Lord when he is prostrating.”

In the Qur’ân, there is a verse that indicates this meaning. Allah says: “

3-Explanation of the context in which particular verses were revealed, e.g. purposes of revelation.

4-Explanation of the Qur’ân by way of practical example, e.g. how to prayer, pilgrimage, fast, pay zakat, etc, etc, etc


I can go on and on, bros. But am stopping from here. Wish and hope this explains things to you.

Cheerio!

Once again:

I generally speaking learn it’s your lack of Hadeeth understanding and knowledge that lead you to dare saying its bad to give it a regard. Coincidently I “stumble” on the following piece. I hope it’ll clear some airs before I get back:

[center]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate the Most Merciful[/center]

[center]We have, Without doubt, sent down the message: and we will assuredly guard it (from corruption) (Qur'an 15:9)[/center]

Introduction

The promise made by Allah (SWT) in Qur'an 15:9 is obviously fulfilled in the undisputed purity of the Qur'anic text throughout the fourteen centuries since its revelation. However, what is often forgotten by many Muslims is that the divine promise also includes, by necessity, the Sunnah of the Prophet (P), because the Sunnah is the practical example of the implementation of the Qur'anic guidance, the wisdom taught to the Prophet (P) along with the scripture, and neither the Qur'an nor the Sunnah can be understood correctly without the other.

Allah (SWT) preserved the Sunnah by enabling the Companions and those after them to memorize, write down and pass on the statements of the Prophet (P), and the descriptions of his way, as well as to continue the blessings of practicing the Sunnah.

Later, as the purity of the knowledge of the Sunnah became threatened, Allah (SWT) caused the Muslim Ummah to produce individuals with exceptional memory skills and analytical expertise, who travelled tirelessly to collect thousands of narrations and distinguish the true words of prophetic wisdom from those corrupted by weak memories, from forgeries by unscrupulous liars, and from the statements of the large number of Ulama (scholars), the Companions and those who followed their way. All of this was achieved through precise attention to the words narrated, and detailed familiarity with the biographies of the thousands of reporters of hadith.

The methodology of the expert scholars of hadith in assessing the narrations and sorting out the genuine from the mistaken and fabricated, for ms the subject matter of the science of hadith. In this article a brief discussion is given of the terminology and classifications of hadith.



Components of Hadith

A hadith is composed of three parts (see the figure [below]):


Matn (text), isnad (chain of reporters), and taraf (the part, or the beginning sentence, of the text which refers to the sayings, actions or characteristics of the Prophet(P), or his concurrence with others action). The authenticity of the hadith depends on the reliability of its reporters, and the linkage among them.



Classifications of Hadith

A number of classifications of hadith have been made. Five of these classifications are shown in the figure [below], and are briefly described subsequently.

1. According to the reference to a particular authority

Four types of hadith can be identified.

1.
* Qudsi - Divine; a revelation from Allah (SWT); relayed with the words of the Prophet (P).
* Marfu` - elevated; a narration from the Prophet (P), e.g., I heard the Prophet (P) saying ,
* Mauquf- stopped: a narration from a companion only, e.g., we were commanded to ,
* Maqtu` - severed: a narration from a successor.





2. According to the links of isnad - interrupted or uninterrupted

Six categories can be identified.

1.
* Musnad - supported: a hadith which is reported by a traditionalist, based on what he learned from his teacher at a time of life suitable for learning; similarly - in turn - for each teacher until the isnad reaches a well known companion, who in turn, reports from the Prophet(P).
* Muttasil - continuous: a hadith with an uninterrupted isnad which goes back only to a companion or successor.
* Mursal - hurried: if the link between the successor and the Prophet(P) is missing, e.g., when a successor says "The Prophet said, ".
* Munqati` - broken: is a hadith whose link anywhere before the successor (i.e., closer to the traditionalist recording the hadith) is missing.
* Mu`adal - perplexing: is a hadith whose reporter omits two or more consecutive reporters in the isnad.
* Mu`allaq - hanging: is a hadith whose reporter omits the whole isnad and quotes the Prophet(P) directly (i.e., the link is missing at the beginning).

3. According to the number of reporters involved in each stage of isnad


Five categories of hadith can be identified:

1.
* Mutawatir - Consecutive: is a hadith which is reported by such a large number of people that they cannot be expected to agree upon a lie, all of them together.
* Ahad - isolated: is a hadith which is narrated by people whose number does not reach that of the mutawatir.

It is further classified into:

1.
*
o Mash'hur - famous: hadith reported by more than two reporters.
o `Aziz - rare, strong: at any stage in the isnad, only two reporters are found to narrate the hadith.
o Gharib - strange: At some stage of the isnad, only one reporter is found relating it.

4. According to the nature of the text and isnad

1.
* Munkar - denounced: is a hadith which is reported by a weak narrator, and whose narration goes against another authentic hadith.
* Mudraj - interpolated: an addition by a reporter to the text of the hadith being narrated.

5. According to the reliability and memory of the reporters


This provides the final verdict on a hadith - four categories can be identified:

1.
* Sahih - sound. Imam al-Shafi`i states the following requiremetts for a hadith, which is not Mutawatir, to be acceptable "each reporter should be trustworthy in his religion; he should be known to be truthtul in his narrating, to understand what he narrates, to know how a different expression can alter the meaning, and to report the wording of the hadith verbatim, not only its meaning".

* Hasan - good: is the one where its source is known and its reporters are unambiguous.

* Da`if - weak: a hadith which fails to reach the status of Hasan. Usually, the weakness is: a) one of discontinuity in the isnad, in which case the hadith could be - according to the nature of the discontinuity - Munqati (broken), Mu`allaq (hanging), Mu`adal (perplexing), or Mursal (hurried), or b) one of the reporters having a disparaged character, such as due to his telling lies, excessive mistakes, opposition to the narration of more reliable sources, involvement in innovation, or ambiguity surrounding his person.

* Maudu`- fabricated or forged: is a hadith whose text goes against the established norms of the Prophet's sayings, or its reporters include a liar. Fabricated hadith are also recognized by external evidence related to a discrepancy found in the dates or times of a particular incident.

REFERENCE:

A friend forwarded it to me.

@Usisky,

There was no internet connectivity at where I browse. I only secured one hour to peep around here and there aboard. Hence I cannot, actually speaking, read your quite a lengthy reply thoroughly and comprehend; and respond to it. But inshaAllah after things get back to normalcy, which I very much hope will be tomorrow. Please hang on.

Thanks

I really, really thank God.
