There is a story that goes like this: Once the Second Caliph Umar, Omar bin Khattab told the people to not be excessive in mahr (bride price) and not to exceed four hundred dirhams. A woman protested and quoted Verse 4:20 of the Qur'an which says: >But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin? Caliph Omar immediately retracted his statement, saying that whoever wants to give an exorbitant mahr can give it. What is the authenticity of this hadith?

> Al-Zawahir ‘an Iqtiraaf Al-Kaba’ir (2/225) It was also reported: “Whoever commits adultery with a married woman will have half of the punishment of this nation in the grave for her and for him. When the Day of Resurrection comes, God Almighty will judge her husband regarding his good deeds. This is if it was without his knowledge. If he knew and kept quiet, God will forbid him Paradise, because God Almighty wrote on its door: ‘You are forbidden to the cuckold.’” Edit: The Arabic text - التخريج من المصادر العربية الزواجر عن اقتراف الكبائر: (٢/ ٢٢٥) وورد أيضا: «إن من زنى بامرأة متزوجة كان عليه وعليها في القبر نصف عذاب هذه الأمة، فإذا كان يوم القيامة يحكم الله تعالى زوجها في حسناته، هذا إذا كان بغير علمه، فإن علم وسكت حرم الله عليه الجنة؛ لأن الله تعالى كتب على بابها أنت حرام على الديوث Is this true and authentic? If anyone has knowledge please comment or answer.

As salamualaikum After researching duas for better eyesight I’ve come across a few pages and videos claiming to recite Verse 22 of Surah Qaf then blowing it on your finger an rubing it on your eyes. Somehow that doesn’t really sound authentic/ part of the sunnah to me, which is why it would be helpful if someone of knowledge would help me clarify this matter.

السلام علیکم ورحمة الله وبركاته I know that Shias don't trust most of the sahabah so they won't accept their Hadith narrations but obviously Imam Ali bin Abi Talib RA is an exception to this. In fact, we sunnis have a hadith narrated by members of Ahlul Bait from Ali RA that Mutah has been forbidden by the Prophet SAW. This is present in in [Bukhari](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4216) and [Muslim](https://sunnah.com/muslim:1407a) , among other collections used by sunnis. In fact, even a Shia scholar, Abdul Razzaq alSan'ani RH has narrated this Hadith [here](https://sunnah.com/ahmad:1204) . (Note that Sunnis hold Abdul Razzaq and his Hadiths in very high regard even though he was a Shia). What surprises me, however, is that Shias still consider Mutah to be permissible despite this Hadith. Which begs the obvious question, is this Hadith even present in Shia sources?

Does this hadith exist? What is its source? > The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that the best deed after believing there is no deity worthy of worship except God is "benevolent love towards people". > > The Arabic is al-tawaddudu ila al-nas. Which literally means love towards the people/humanity. > > [Reference: Tabarani. Graded: Hasan] This was posted by Hamza A. Tzortzis on Twitter .

Assalamu Alaikum I have a friend who doesn't beleive in the death penalty for apostasy, so I tried to convince him using the example of the Sahabah, that they fought the the apostate tribes, and forced them to convert to Islam and pay Zakah. However, he thinks that theses tribes (like Banu Hanifah) 'claimed to be muslim' (even though, they obviously weren't muslim as they had accepted a false prophet), which is why it was necessary to compel them into giving Zakah. In other words, he beleives that if they had explicitly renounced Islam, Abu Bakr RA would have had no option but to take Jizya from them. So what I'm looking for here, is authentic/sound narrations to prove that any of these tribes had explicitly renounced Islam or explicitly denied the shahadah becuase he thinks that these tribes still beleived Muhammad SAW to be a Messenger, just not the last Prophet (which is obviously also kufr, but not explicit). So can y'all find some please :)

I would like to know the authenticity of a story of Umar (radiyAllahu'anhu) who saw a young man with his head lowered and said to him loudly, “O Young man, raise your head. true humility is in the heart and not shown through the body and face. If anyone shows his humility through his body in excess of what is contained in his heart, then he is a hypocrite.” JazakAllah khair

> They also say that Khadijah sent a message to the Messenger of God > [Muhammad] inviting him to take her, meaning that they should marry. > She was a highly respected woman, and the whole of Quraysh [tribe] > would have been eager to marry her and would have spent much money to > that end had they aspired to it. She called her father to her house, > plied him with wine until he was drunk, slaughtered a cow, anointed > him with perfume and clothed him in a striped robe; then she sent for > the Messenger of God and his uncles and, when they came in, her father > married him to her. When her father recovered from his intoxication, > he said, “What is this meat, this perfume, and this garment?” She > replied, “You have married me to Muhammad b. ‘Abdallah.” “I have not > done so,” he said. “Would I do this, when the greatest men of Mecca > have asked for you and I have not agreed?” This is found somewhere in Tarikh, vol. 6, p. 49 but I do not know where.

So I read this [article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Islamic_law) on Wikipedia which says > According to a hadith, a master could marry off a female slave without her consent Is this claim correct or not because I haven’t heard about this Hadith? Is the Hadith Sahih or not? I tried looking for it from Islamic websites but i couldn’t find it.

We have sahih hadiths to learn authentic info about the life of the prophet, do we have something equivalent in authority and reliability for those four caliphs ?

As I am a student, I pray dhur in school during my break (pretty short) During my prayer today, I heard the sound of what I thought was either a bird or a rat which made me look up front (not at the rooftop though and for a second) (I think by instinct since I got scared). I was already late to my class so I couldn't restart my prayer again, is my prayer valid? If not, can I redo it?

Which Ahadith and references from the scholars could be provided to answer this question? - I will post an answer to this question - Square brackets [ ] are additions or/and individual changes (for clarity) of the author's thread ----------- Continuation of "the authentic, standard supplications (A'dyiah) and rememberances (Adhkar) after the Prayer ." ----------- >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "[...] *And He commands you to remember Allah. For indeed, the parable of that is a man whose enemy quickly tracks him until he reaches an impermeable fortress in which he protects himself from them. This is how the worshiper is; he does not protect himself from Ash-Shaytan except by the remembrance of Allah.*" > >At-Tirmidhi (2863 ) Abu I'sa graded Hasan Sahih Gharib >Allah says in Surah Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 28 : "***Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured***" ---- Every Dhikr or Du'a should be uttered with the full Yaqin (certainty) and with full understanding of what is said (translation) so that you make use of them.

Assalamu alaikum. Recently I have seen the following excerpt which I'm copying here... > Hasbiyallaahu laa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huwa 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adheem. > > Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him, He is Lord of the Majestic Throne. (Recite seven times in Arabic.) and > Allah will grant whoever recites this seven times in the morning or evening whatever he desires from this world or the next, Ibn As-Sunni (no. 71), Abu Dawud 4/321. Both reports are attributed directly to the Prophet (Marfu1). The chain of transmission is sound (Sahih). Ibn As-Sunni." My question is I have previously read about this Hadith where it states that it is fabricated. But now as I see the above mentioned excerpt in two different sites I am confused. Can anyone tell me which one is right? I mean is it really fabricated or is there any level of authenticity in it? Also please mention some authentic Dua for getting out of distresses and fulfillment of wishes.

Aoa, i do medical researches and get articles published in journal ,if i take money from my co authors(other people participating in writing) for publication purpose which actually is not costing me anything is it wrong ?

Which authentic Ahadith exist to act upon if somebody faces trouble, tough times, grief, et cetera, in his or her life? (I will post a comprehensive answer to this question) --- [...] "***whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured.***" Surah ***Ar-R'ad [28 ***] --- >Mus'ab bin S'ad narrated from his father that a man said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which of the people is tried most severely? He said: "*The Prophets, then those nearest to them, then those nearest to them. A man is tried according to his religion; if he is firm in his religion, then his trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his religion, then he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking upon the earth without any sins.*" > >At-Tirmidhi (2398 ) and Abu I'sa classed it Hasan Sahih >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "*Indeed, a man will have a status with Allah, the Exalted, so if he does not achieve it with his deeds, He continues to plague him with what he hates until he reaches it.*" > >Al-Mustadrak (1/495 ) Shaykh Albani classed it Hasan in As-Sahihah (4/130 - #1599 ) >The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "*Know that victory comes with patience, and that ease comes with difficulties, and that with hardship there is relief!*" > >Musnad Ahmad (2803 ) classed Sahih in As-Sahihah (5/496-7 - #2382 ) --- Important: Utter these A'diyah/Adhkar with full Yaqin (certainty) to make it more convenient so that Allah answers it; so that you know exactly the words which you speak. Memorise the translation, and think about it (while saying them) as well.

On sunnah.com, this specific hadith is graded as Sahih by Albani. However, within the hadith, Abu Dawud claims that the hadith is not strong. So is Albani saying that Abu Dawud is wrong and that this hadith actually is strong? > The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If anyone has sexual intercourse with an animal, kill him and kill it along with him. I (Ikrimah) said: I asked him (Ibn Abbas): What offence can be attributed to the animal/ He replied: I think he (the Prophet) disapproved of its flesh being eaten when such a thing had been done to it. > > Abu Dawud said: This is not a strong tradition. > (Sunan abi Dawod )

Which Ahadith and references from the scholars could be provided to answer this question?

*The Reliance of the Traveller*, by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri (translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller) in Section r40.1 quotes a fatwa (كفُّ الرَّعَاع عن محرَّمات اللهو والسَّمَاع Kaff al-ra'a' 'an muharramat al-Iahw wa al-sama' (y49), 2.269-70) by Ibn Hajar Haytami , which concludes that "musical instruments of all types are unlawful". One hadith he uses for evidence is: > Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance. (The section is quoted in full e.g. at Muhammadanism.com .) **Question**: Does this hadith exist, and is it reliable? Searching the Internet, I did not find a reference for this hadith. A forum post lists it as in "Abu Dawud", but searching for site:sunnah.com/abudawud instruments (and variants) didn't help me find a source. Other listed hadith in the Ibn Hajar Haytami snippet are classed as weak by others (IslamWeb and FatwaIslam ), which makes me question its reliability.
