How Hanafi Fiqh Spread...

Ibn Abideen Al-Shaami , on Hanafi Fiqh in Iraq :

الفقه زرعه عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه ، وسقاه علقمة ، وحصده إبراهيم النخعي ، وداسه حماد ، وطحنه أبو حنيفة ، وعجنه أبو يوسف وخبزه محمد ، فسائر الناس يأكلون من خبزه

ENGLISH:

"Fiqh was planted by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, irrigated by Alqamah, harvested by Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, threshed by Hammad (ibn Abi Sulaiman), milled by Abu Hanifah, kneaded by Abu Yusuf, and baked by (Muhammad) al-Shaybani. And the Muslims are nourished by his bread."

NEDERLANDS:

"Fiqh werd : gezaaid door Abdullah bin Mas'oed - geïrrigeerd door 'Alqamah - geoogst door Ibrahim Al-Nakha'ie - gedorst door Hammad (ibn abi Sulayman) - gemaald door Abu Hanifah -  gekneed door Abu Yusuf - gebakken door Muhammad (Al-Shaybani) - en de rest van de mensen eten van het brood."

["Rad Al-Mukhtar", 8].

"But I have no rights with him!"

Imaam Al-Awzaa’i said:

قال الأوزاعي: بلغني أنه يقال للعبد يوم القيامة: قم فخذ حقك من فلان، فيقول: ما لي قِبله حق!ـ فيقال: بلى، ذكرك يوم كذا وكذا بكذا وكذا

ENGLISH:

"It has reached me that it will be said to the slave of Allah on the Day of Resurrection: "Get up and go take your right from so-and-so." He will say: "But I have no rights with him!" So it will be said: "Nay, he mentioned you on this-and-that day with such-and-such!"

NEDERLANDS:

"Ik heb te horen gekregen, dat Allaah op de Dag des Oordeels tegen een van zijn dienaren zegt: "Sta op en neem je recht van zus en zo!" Hij zal zeggen: "Maar hij is mij niet schuldig." Dan zal er gezegd worden: "Jawel, hij sprak over jou op zus en zo dag, met zus en zo persoon."

["Shu’aab al-Eman" by al-Bayhaqi 5/305].

"Zuhd is not attained except through Zuhd"

Ishaq ibn Hane’ al-Naysabouri said:

قال إسحاق بن هانئ النيسابوري: قال لي أبو عبد الله: بكر يوما حتى نعارضني بشئ من الزهد. فبكرت إليه، وقلت لام ولده: أعطيني حصيرا ومخدة، فبسطته في الدهليز، فخرج أبو عبد الله، ومعه الكتب والمحبرة، فقال: ماهذا؟ فقلت: لنجلس عليه. فقال: ارفعه، الزهد لا يحسن إلا بالزهد. فرفعته، وجلس على التراب

ENGLISH:

"Abu Abdullah (Imam Ahmad) told me: "Come early one day so that you may narrate to me something about Zuhd (Asceticism)." So I came early to him, and told the mother of his child: "Bring me a rug and a pillow." So she set it up in the corridor. Abu Abdullah came out and with him he had the books and the inkwell. He looked at the rug and the pillow and said: "What is that?" So I said: "For you to sit on." So he said: "Remove them, for indeed Zuhd is not attained except through Zuhd." So I removed them, and he sat on the sand."

NEDERLANDS:

"Abu Abdullah (Imam Ahmad) zei tegen mij: "Kom vroeg morgen, zodat je mij een paar dingen over Zuhd (ascetisme) overlevert." Dus ik kwam vroeg, en vroeg aan de moeder van zijn kind: "Breng mij een mat en een kussen." Dus ze ging het opzetten in de gang. Toen kwam Abu Abdullah en hij had boeken en een inktpot in zijn hand. Hij keek naar de mat en de kussen en zei: "Wat is dat?" Ik zei: "Dat is om erop te zitten." Dus hij zei: "Haal het weg, want Zuhd kan niet verkregen worden behalve met Zuhd." Dus ik haalde het weg en hij ging op zand zitten."

["Manaqib Al-Imam Ahmad", 176].

Where did that log go?

Imaam Ad-Dhahabi writes:

قالت بنت لجار منصور بن المعتمر : . يا أبت أين الخشبة التي كانت في سطح منصور قائمة ؟ قال : يا بنية ذاك منصور ، كان يقوم الليل

ENGLISH:

A daughter of one of the Neighbors of Mansour ibn Al-Mu’tamir told her father once: "Father, where did the log that was up on top of Mansour’s roof go?" So her father told her: "My daughter, that was Mansour praying at night."

NEDERLANDS:

Een dochter van Mansour Ibn Al-Mu'tamir's buurman zei tegen haar vader: "Vader, waar is dat houten-balk heen, die op Mansour's dak stond?" Dus, haar vader zei tegen haar: "Mijn dochter, dat was Mansour zelf die het nachtgebbed stond te verrichten."

["Siyar A’laam Al-Nubala", 5/403].

How will Allah judge so many people?

Imam Al-Razi writes in his [Tafsir 18/234]:

يروى أن رجلا قال لعلي بن أبي طالب رضوان الله عليه : إنه تعالى كيف يحاسب الخلق دفعة واحدة ؟ فقال : كما يرزقهم الآن دفعة واحدة

ENGLISH:

A man asked Ali Ibn Abi Talib: "How will Allah judge so many people at the same time?" He said: "The same way He is providing their provisions now (at the same time)."

NEDERLANDS:

Het is overgeleverd dat een man aan Ali Ibn Abi Talib vroeg:

"Hoe zal Allaah zoveel mensen tegelijkertijd oordelen (op de Dag des Oordeels)?"

Hij zei: "Zoals Hij ze nu allemaal tegelijkertijd voedt."

ENGLISH:

A boy used to study the Qur'an in a school. One day, he went to the bathhouse to wash himself, but he had no money. So he said to the owner at the entrance of the bathhouse: "I don't have two qiraan (currency), but I can read you some Qur'an instead." The bath owner refused. The boy tried to persuade him again, but to no avail.

So the boy said to himself: If reading 10 Qur'an's is not even worth 2 Qiran's (currency), then why should I waste my time studying it!

He stopped going to school.

One day, the teacher asked the students: "Where is such and such?" Then they told him what happened.

The teacher called him and gave him a ring, saying: "Go to the greengrocery and exchange this ring for some spinach." He went to the greengrocery, but the shopkeeper did not agree to exchange the ring for spinach, deeming it insignificant. So the boy got back to the teacher. The teacher then advised him to go to the goldsmith and exchange it for money first and then go and buy the spinach.

When the boy went to the goldsmith, the goldsmith said:

"Go back, because I cannot even afford to pay you the total amount of money this ring is worth!"

This is when the teacher said to the student: "The value of gold is known to the goldsmith [only]."

Being absent from your partner

The following incident has been narrated in many classical books:

رواه الإمام مالك في الموطأ عن عبد الله بن دينار قال: خرج عمر بن الخطاب من الليل فسمع امرأة تقول
تطاول هذا الليل واسود جانبه وأرقني ألا خليل ألاعبــه
فوالله لولا الله أني أراقبـــه لحرك من هذا السرير جوانبه
فسأل عمر ابنته حفصة : كم أكثر ما تصبر المرأة عن زوجها؟ فقالت: ستة أشهر، أو أربعة أشهر. فقال عمر : لا أحبس أحداً من الجيوش أكثر من ذلك

ENGLISH:

Imaam Malik has narrated in his "Muwatta", on the authority of Abdullah bin Dinar: "Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab went on patrol on a night, and he heard a woman saying:

"This night stretches out and it is dark,
and that I am without a companion to be intimate with has made me so sleepless.
Were it not for my fear of Allaah,
the sides of this bed would have been moving!"

... So Umar asked his daughter Hafsah: "How long can a woman remain without her husband?" She said: "Six months... or (actually) Four months." So Umar declared: No person should be sent on a military expedition for longer then that.

NEDERLANDS:

Imaam Malik heeft overgeleverd in zijn "Muwatta", op gezag van Abdullah bin Dinar: "Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab ging uit op nachtelijke patrouille en hoorde een vrouw zeggen:

"Deze nacht is lang en duister,
 en dat ik zonder een vermaak-partner ben gebleven maakt me zo slapeloos!
Ware het niet voor mijn vrees voor Allaah,
dan zouden de zijkanten van dit bed schudden!"

... Dus Umar vroeg aan zijn dochter Hafsah: "Hoelang kan een vrouw zonder haar man?" Ze zei: "Zes maanden ... of (eigenlijk) vier maanden." Toen verklaarde Umar: Niemand mag langer dan dat op militaire expeditie gestuurd worden.

[Tafsir Ibn Katheer, 1/235].

"This is who I am... Who are you?"

سأل صحفي الإمام الشهيد عن نفسه، وطلب إليه أن يعرف شخصيته للناس. قال، رحمه الله: "أنا سائح يطلب الحقيقة، وإنسان يبحث عن مدلول الإنسانية بين الناس، ومواطن ينشد لوطنه الكرامة والحرية والاستقرار، والحياة الطيبة في ظل الإسلام الحنيف. أنا متجرد أدرك سر وجوده، فنادى: إن صلاتي ونسكي ومحياي ومماتي لله رب العالمين، لا شريك له وبذلك أمرت وأنا من المسلمين.
ثم قال: "هذا أنا، فمن أنت؟" (أحاديث الجمعة، ص 191

ENGLISH:

Hassan Al-Banna was asked to shed some light on his personality and he said: "I am a traveler seeking the Truth, a human searching for the meaning of humanity, and a citizen seeking dignity, freedom, stability and welfare under the shade of Islam. I am a free man who is aware of the purpose of his existence and calls, truly, my prayer and my sacrifice, my life and my death, are all for Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds; He has no partner. This I am commanded and I am among those who submit to His Will." He then said: "This is who I am... Who are you?"

NEDERLANDS:

Hassan Al-Banna werd gevraagd wie hij was en zei: "Ik ben een reiziger op zoek naar de waarheid, een mens op zoek naar de betekenis van menselijkheid, een staatsburger op zoek naar waardigheid, vrijheid, standvastigheid en welzijn onder de schaduw van Islam. Ik ben een onafhankelijke persoon, die weet heeft van de reden van zijn bestaan en die het volgende verkondigd: "Waarlijk, mijn gebeden, mijn offers, mijn leven en mijn dood zijn voor Allah, de Heer der Werelden. Hij heeft geen deelgenoten. Dit is hetgeen ik bevolen ben, en ik behoor tot degenen die zichzelf over hebben gegeven aan de Wil van Allah." Toen zei hij: "Dit ben ik... Wie ben jij?"

["Ahaadith al-Jum'ah", 191].

Living from the dead and dead from the living

Ibn Taymiyah said :

فإن أحدا لا يقول‏:‏ إن بدن عبد الله أبيه أفضل من أبدان الأنبياء، فإن الله يخرج الحي من الميت، والميت من الحي

ENGLISH:

"So one does not say: "The body of Abdullah, the father (of the Prophet Muhammad) is better than the bodies of (other) Prophets (even though he begot the best of creation)... because verily, Allaah brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living."

NEDERLANDS:

"Dus we zeggen niet: "Het lichaam van Abdullah, de vader (van de Profeet Muhammad) is beter dan de lichamen van (andere) Profeten (ook al heeft hij de beste der schepping voortgebracht)... want voorwaar, Allaah brengt de levenden voort uit de doden en de doden uit de levenden."

["Majmu Al-Fatawa", 27/37].

The dhaahiri (literalistic) approach...

Taken from: http://ihyaauddeen.co.za/?p=307

ENGLISH:

"... Another person declared that it was forbidden to water one’s neighbour’s garden. He substantiated it by quoting the following Hadith (which is authentic):

لا يحل لامرئ يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن يسقي ماءه زرع غيره
"It is not permitted for one who believes in Allah and the last day to irrigate someone else’s crop with his own water." [1]

The Hadith actually implies that, if someone acquired a pregnant slave woman, then he is prohibited from copulating with her until she gives birth."

NEDERLANDS:

"... Iemand anders verklaarde het verboden dat iemand zijn buurman's tuin watert. Hij gebruikte als bewijs:

لا يحل لامرئ يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن يسقي ماءه زرع غيره
"Het is niet toegestaan voor degene die in Allah en de laatste Dag gelooft om met zijn eigen water de oogst van iemand anders te wateren." [1]

Dit hadith betekent eigenlijk dat als iemand een zwangere slavin verkrijgt, dat hij niet met haar seksueel gemeenschap mag hebben totdat zij haar kind gebaard heeft."

Awliyaa of Allaah

Imam an-Nawawi writes:

وثبت في صحيح البخاري عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن الله عز وجل قال : من آذى لي وليا فقد آذنته بالحرب ، وروى الخطيب البغدادي عن الشافعي ، وأبي حنيفة رضي الله عنهما قالا : " إن لم تكن الفقهاء أولياء الله فليس لله ولي " ، وفي كلام الشافعي : الفقهاء العاملون
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما : من آذى فقيها فقد آذى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

ENGLISH:

"It is narrated in Bukhari that Allah said, “I declare war upon the one who troubles my wali.” Khatib Baghdadi relates from Abu Hanifah  and Shafi'i that “If the fuqaha (jurists) and ulema (scholars) are not the Auliyah of Allah, then nobody is a wali of Allah .” Al-Shafi'iee also said: "The fuqaha are those who act (upon their knowledge)." Abdullah bin Abbas says, “Anyone who troubles a faqih troubles the Blessed Prophet.”

NEDERLANDS:

"Het is overgeleverd in Bukhari, dat Allah zei: "Als iemand zich vijandig opstelt tegenover één van Mijn vrienden (awliyaa), dan zal Ik hem de oorlog verklaren." Khateeb al-Baghdadi heeft overgeleverd op gezag van Al-Shafi'ie en Abu Hanifah dat zij zeiden: "Als de fuqaha en de 'ulama niet de Awliyaa van Allah zijn, dan is niemand Allah's Wali." Al-Shafi'ie zei ook: "De fuqaha zijn degenen die handelen (naar hun kennis)." Abdullah Ibn Abbas zei: "Degene die zich vijandig opstelt tegenover een Faqih, heeft zich in feite tegenover de Profeet in vijandigheid opgestelt."

["Sharh al-Muhazzab", 1/24].

Ibn Hazm on Raf' al-Yadayn

Ibn Hazm said after authenticating ahadith regarding raf' al-yadayn:

فإن رفعنا صلينا كما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يصلي، و إن لم نرفع فقد صلينا كما كان عليه السلام يصلي

ENGLISH:

"So if we raise our hands (raf' al-yadayn): we have prayed like the Prophet has prayed. And if we do not raise our hands: we have prayed like the Prophet has prayed!"

NEDERLANDS:

"Dus als wij onze handen opheffen (raf' al-yadayn): dan hebben we gebeden zoals de Profeet had gebeden. En als we onze handen niet opheffen, dan hebben we ook gebeden zoals de Profeet had gebeden!"

["Al-Muhala", 3/235].

"Because knowledge is the light"

Ibn Jawzee said:

"I always call for knowledge, because knowledge is the light one is guided with. I have however seen that the women are in greater need to wake up from this nightmare than the men. They are so far away from knowledge and they let themselves be driven by desires."

["Ahkaam-un-Nisaa", 9].

در این دنیای بی حاصل چرا مغرور میگردی
سلیمان گر شوی آخر نصیب گور میگردی

Dar ien dunyaa-e bee haasel chra maghroor megardi

Why do you walk with pride/arrogance, in this barren world?
Even if you become like Solomon, you will still end up in a grave!

Words are like pebbles ...

I took this video to demonstrate this fact:

Our words are like pebbles we toss into the water. We deem them insignificant, but they can have far reaching consequences.
