Lessons from the hadeeth of the worst sinner being the one whose question leads to prohibiting something which wasnt previously

On the authority of 'Amir b. Sa'd and the words are. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The greatest sinner of the Muslims amongst Muslims is one who asked about a certain thing which had not been prohibited and it was prohibited because of his asking about it.

[Ref: Saheeh Muslim] 

Benefits 

1. Whatever is not proven to be haraam from the Qur`an, sunnah or Ijmaa, then the asl in such wordily matters is that it is permissible as long as it does not oppose the shar`iah [Ref: Fath ul-Bari 13/269] 

2. One should abstain from unnecessary questions 

3. This hadeeth is in context to the moment when the Prophet was receiving a wahi  

4. While asking questions, the general benifit of the people should be taken into consideration such as asking a question which you know you may be capable of fulfiling the conditions of its answers but others in general cannot. 

5. This is especially in regards to some wordily or political petitions filed by some Muslims in a land due to which other Muslims have to suffer. Such as imposing a stringent salary condition for enjoying some basic rights and etc.

وهذا تنويع الشيخ أبي عمرو وترتيبه رحمه الله، قال: وليس بآخر الممكن في ذلك، فإنه قابل للتنويع إلى ما لا يحصى، إذ لا تنحصر أحوال الرواة وصفاتهم، وأحوال متون الحديث وصفاتها.

" قلت ": وفي هذا كله نظر، بل في بسطه هذه الأنواع إلى هذا العدد نظر. إذ يمكن إدماج بعضها في بعض، وكان أليق مما ذكره.

ثم إنه فرق بين متماثلات منها بعضها عن بعض، وكان اللائق ذكر كل نوع إلى جانب ما يناسبه.

ونحن نرتب ما نذكره على ما هو الأنسب، وربما أدمجنا بعضها في بعض، طلباً للاختصار والمناسبة. وننبه على مناقشات لا بد منها، إن شاء الله تعالى.

Ikhtasar Uloom al-Hadeeth of Ibn Katheer - English Translation Part 1

By the will and blessing of Allah, this is a project wherein i intend to translate the Ikhtisaar Uloom al-Hadeeth of Imam Ibn Katheer al-Quraishi rahimahullah with the tahkeeq and tarjuma of Hafidh al-Muhaddith Zubayr `Ali Zaee rahimahullah . I will also be adding references, certain athaar along with the comments of shaykh zubayr r.h because sometimes i find it necessary to add some more or variant athar so as to add emphasis to assert a certain benifit. 

I am not a professional translator, so I will try my best to translate it in a way that is easy to understand by the English speaking community making the translation in a summarized way as and when required for easy understanding as well as ensure that the text retains the original Intended meaning (and does not drift away from it). I will publish the translation in small parts so people can read it easily and quickly instead of becoming lazy seeing the lengthy multi-page translation . I am sure there will be many mistakes so 

 رحم الله امرأ أهدى إلي عيوبي

May Allah have mercy on the man who shows me my faults

[Ref: A statement attributed to `Umar radhiallahu anhu in Sunan ad-Darimee 1/506 or 1/166 or # 675 with a weak chain and Ahmad Shaakir (ed.), ar-Risalah of ash-Shaf`ee, P: 73 footnote no. 8  See Dr. Muhammad Adhmi’s book  titled “ The history of the quranic text page 20 “]

There are many instances in such technical science books wherein the arabic words cannot be translated to English and even if attempted, it does not fulfil the complete meaning intended by the author. In such instances i will retain the Arabic terms and sometimes translate it depending on the context .

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

THE VALIDITY USAGE OF MORE THAN MERELY HARSH AND INSULTING WORDS & GESTURES WHEN APT

In Defense of Shaykh Waseeullah `Abbas hafidhahullah and the term 'Ennuch' used by him

 ----------------

I am not defending the usage of that word for Mufti menk but i am drafting this note to counter those who are making a mountain of a mole.  Some sufis and especially deobandhis and barelvis are using this opportunity to hit back at salafis and what not totally forgetting that their scholars books are filled with (excuse me) pornographic and what's worse is shirkiyah and blasphemous comments against Allah and his Messenger such as 

www.deobandhikaramaat.blogspot.com 

and much more. They think blasphemy and shirkiyah statements are less "disgusting" than the term "enuch" used by Shaykh waseeullah `abbas that too in a general comparative tone and not in particular against Mufti Menk. [As he clarified yesterday] 

So you see hanfis using this term against the shaykh while they have more serious blasphemous issues from their own hanfi scholars that they need to ridicule and mock instead of someone who calls towards the tawheed of Allah and against hijacking the deen (bid`ah). 

I begin with the statement wherein The prophet sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam said

"Overlook the slips of respected people.” [Ref: Adab al-Mufrad] 

A) Harsh and insulting words and phrases used by Allah - some that are infinite times more offensive than "enuch"
