Explain sahih bukhari hadith 4357 to me. Why did the prophet SAW order an attack on a idol temple if the Muslims weren't provoked?
> **Narrated Qais:** > > Jarir said "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhul-Khalasa?" I replied, "Yes, (I will relieve you)." So I proceeded along with one-hundred and fifty cavalry from Ahmas tribe who were skillful in riding horses. I used not to sit firm over horses, so...
> **Narrated Qais:** > > Jarir said "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhul-Khalasa?" I replied, "Yes, (I will relieve you)." So I proceeded along with one-hundred and fifty cavalry from Ahmas tribe who were skillful in riding horses. I used not to sit firm over horses, so I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of that, and he stroke my chest with his hand till I saw the marks of his hand over my chest and he said, O Allah! Make him firm and one who guides others and is guided (on the right path).' Since then I have never fallen from a horse. Dhul-l--Khulasa was a house in Yemen belonging to the tribe of Khatham and Bajaila, and in it there were idols which were worshipped, and it was called Al-Ka`ba." Jarir went there, burnt it with fire and dismantled it. When Jarir reached Yemen, there was a man who used to foretell and give good omens by casting arrows of divination. Someone said to him. "The messenger of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is present here and if he should get hold of you, he would chop off your neck." One day while he was using them (i.e. arrows of divination), Jarir stopped there and said to him, "Break them (i.e. the arrows) and testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop off your neck." So the man broke those arrows and testified that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Then Jarir sent a man called Abu Artata from the tribe of Ahmas to the Prophet to convey the good news (of destroying Dhu-l-Khalasa). So when the messenger reached the Prophet, he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave it till it was like a scabby camel." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times. There's another hadith similar to this, a shorten version of the story (sahih bukhari 3020). However, if the Muslims were attacking, but it wasn't out of self-defense or fear of being attacked. Why did they, doesn't Allah SWT telling us in surah 60, ayat 8–9 that he doesn't forbid us from dealing justly with ppl that don't fight us for our religion or drive us out of our homes?

Is calling your own best friend stupid, or just making fun of their own forehead a sin?
I have a best friend I always call online, and for some reason he just starts to call me stuff like "idiot", "stupid" etc. And it kinda does go on my nerves, because I did discuss about it to him, that it's not being funny anymore and just a thing that makes us more separate.

I have a best friend I always call online, and for some reason he just starts to call me stuff like "idiot", "stupid" etc. And it kinda does go on my nerves, because I did discuss about it to him, that it's not being funny anymore and just a thing that makes us more separate. I'm a type of guy that would never leave a friend, or even block them, and he always blocks me for a few days and just randomly unblocks me and completely ignoring the fact that he blocks me like almost every day, which does pisses me off, but I control it. Forgot to say he is muslim himself and I am too. Idk if he has anger issues and stuff like that, and i'm afraid of how this is going to end up with if he keeps doing the same thing and just slowly getting worse day by day. Sorry if I don't make sense.

Hadith about Gathering in the womb for 40 days
There is a famous hadith about embroy in womb mentioning alaqa,mudgah and nutfa stage.Ref:bukhari 3208.Here in this hadith it states"إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، " and translation is "Creation of each of you is put together in the womb for 40 days".I kno...

Interpretation of 40 days is acurate according to modern science.But my question is how can we explain the Gathering of Creation in Womb for 40 days?what is actually gathered in the womb if we interpret the hadith in a way that all stages take place in the same 40 days not individually 40 days?

I've heard and read proofs that writing fictional stories are haram. Some people, like me, are given talents of writing poems and stories and the like. I've made up a story that is really beneficial and I've always dreamed of sharing this with people, but the main character was born with strange powers (growing claws and teleporting, i.e. moving from place to place in a second.) The story goes on about how he is trying to live despite the people who are chasing after him to end him. Is it haram if I write something like this? If it is haram, can I make him inherit the power by one of his ancestors who was injected by an undiscovered drug?

> 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.

Are there any Hadith which gives detail about Haman?
The Quran gives limited information about Haman. Is there any Hadith which presents more information about him? I cannot find any direct hadith from the Prophet pbuh but I think there would be some Mawquf hadiths available.

Couple with daughters more blessed and sign of Allah blessing?
I have heard that "If Allah gives you daugther, Allah has hold you hand", I know there is a similiar Sahih Bukhari regarding this but if Allah has blessed someone with just sons does that mean Allah is not happy with either wife or husband or hardship will be faced? How do I silence such debate?

The Prophet said: "Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse." Sunan Ibn Majah 793 Does this hadith mean that If, I pray Fajr at home because I'm to sleepy to walk all the way to the masjid the prayer is invalid. Is this just a highly recommended sunnah or is it a sin to not pray in congregation. Except of course for Jumu'ah, I pray there every afternoon.

For context, I was talking about my major depressive disorder with a friend. He mentioned a *ḥadīth*, but said he didn't know the source at the top of his mind, about idle minds being easier to control/attack. I have attached a screenshot of some messages we had exchanged after that conversation in case it helps. Some links that may be useful, but it doesn't seem like these are the exact *ḥadīth* he was referencing: > Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan is lying in wait over the heart of the son of Adam. If he remembers Allah, Satan retreats. If he forgets Allah, Satan will devour his heart; that is the ‘whisperer who retreats.’” (114:4) https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2013/03/20/shaytan-al-waswas-al-khannas/ > Sa’id ibn Jubayr reported: Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Satan is perched over the heart of the son of Adam. If he is unmindful and he forgets, Satan whispers. If he remembers Allah, Satan withdraws.” https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2020/06/02/ibn-abbas-on-khannas/ It was also something about how idle minds are easier to control
