Assalamu Alaikum, Please, is A.S. instead of R.A. conferred on Ali? My understanding is A.S. is for Prophets and R.A. is for the Companions and the Tabi'in.

> "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense shall be > hell, he shall abide therein and God’s wrath shall be on him and his > curse, and is prepared for him a great torment” > > > *(Surah Nisa:93).* Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan killed respectively ordered the killing of Sahabah, e.g. Amr bin al-Hamiq, Malik bin Ashthar, Hujr bin Adbar, only for the reason that they were followers of Ali ibn Abi Talib. > “Ayesha said: ‘Mu’awiya you killed Hujr and his associates, By Allah! The Prophet told me ‘In the ditch of Adra seven men will be killed, due to this all the skies and Allah will be upset”. A contemporary Hanafi scholar, Mufti Ghulam Rasul, wrote in his book *Subeh al-Sadiq*, p.93/94 , that Hujr and his companions were killed because they refused to curse Ali ibn Abi Talib. > Tarikh ibn Asakir, V.12, p.227 Additionally, he instigated the poisoning of the first grandson of the Holy Prophet, Hassan ibn Ali. > > “Sho’ubi states that Mu’awiya sent a message to Jada bint al-Ash’ath bin al Qays that if you poison Hasan then I shall marry you to Yazeed > and in addition to this I shall give 100,000 dirhams. When Hasan was > martyred Judh sent a message to Mu’awiya asking that he fulfil his > side of the deal. Mu’awiya sent the money but said “I reject that > matter of Yazeed since I want him to remain alive, had this matter not > occurred then I would have married you to Yazeed”. > > Tadkhirat au Khawwas, p. 192 > > Mu’awiya reached an agreement with Jada bint al-Ash’ath bin al Qays, namely 100,000 dirhams if she poisons Imam Hasan. Allamah Zamakshari, Rabi’ ul Abrar, V.4, p. 208 > Qatada and Abu Bakr bin Hafs stated that Hasan was administered poison, via his wife Ja’da bint Ashath. One group have said that Mu’awiya have sent Ja’da the poison and upon administering this poison, Ja’da was rewarded”. Allamah Ibn Abdul Barr, al-Istiab > “This is commonly known among the people that his wife Ja’da administered poison to him upon the orders of Ameer Mu’awiya.” Maulana Abdur Rahman Jaami, Shawahid un Nubuwwa, p.303 Furthermore, he appointed his son Yazid as the ruler over the Muslims after him, who was the pure evil. In the light of the above mentioned vers of the Holy Qur'an, the Shia seem right to curse him, by asking Allah swt to deprive him of His mercy. Why can't our Sunni brothers agree to this?

Is this narration authentic? "Once there was an altercation between the Prophet and Hazrat Ayesha when they found Hazrat Abu Bakr as judge. Hazrat Ayesha said to the Prophet: You speak but don’t speak except truth. At once Hazrat Abu Bakr gave her such a slap that blood began to ooze out from her mouth”. Ihya Ulum-id-din by Imam Ghazali, Volume 2 page 37, Chapter “The secrets of marriage”, English translation by Maulana Fazlul Karim

The full hadith is here enter link description here My question is about these parts of the hadith > don't be tempted to imitate your neighbor (i.e. `Aisha) in her behavior towards the Prophet), for she (i.e. Aisha) is more beautiful than you, and more beloved to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). > I then said, 'I went to Hafsa and said to her: Do not be tempted to imitate your companion (`Aisha) for she is more beautiful than you and more beloved to the Prophet.' The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled again. What did Umar ra intend by saying this to Hafsa ra and why did the Prohet SAW ?

"Abu Qatada reported that a person came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:How do you fast? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt annoyed. When 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) noticed his annoyance, he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life, and with Muhammad as our Prophet. We seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and that of His Messenger. 'Umar kept on repeating these words till his (the Prophet's) anger calmed down. ..." Reference: Sahih Muslim 1162.01 In-book reference: Book 13, Hadith 252

in this Hadith it states Muhammad b. Abd al-A’la Al-San’ani Al-Basri (d.245) <– Marwan b. Muawiyah b. Al-Harith Al-Kufi (d.193) <– Warqa b. Umar b. Qulayb Al-Kufi (d.160) <– Sayd b. Jubayr Al-Kufi (45-95): ibn Abbas read this letter {In a muddy spring} and he said: Black mud that the sun sets in. This basically says that the sun literally sets in the black mud if this is true then it would be unscientific was Ibn Abbas the best of all tafseer and interpretation of the Quran.

Abu Talib was the beloved uncle of prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) and the father of Ali(p.b.u.h.). It is well known that how he protected and acted as a care-taker of the prophet from Quraysh . However, I heard that sunni Muslims consider him to be died as a non-muslim while shia muslims do not hold such and venerate him. ( Please correct/edit if any of what said above was wrong) **Question:** What are the sunni sources regarding their view and how reliable are these sources ? Similarly, What are the shia sources regarding their view and how reliable are these sources ?

The report of musnad Ahmed 3600 tells, companions are the best people after prophets. >He looked at the hearts of His servants after Muhammad, and He found that the hearts of his companions were the best among them Additionally, ibn taymiyyah opines "if you ask the Jews who are the best people, they would say the companions of moses. If you ask the Christians, they would say the companions of jesus" This is inline with the summary given by report of musnad Ahmed 3600 terming the companions of ulul azam(best 5 prophets) being best after prophets. Based on the above we see that during the second coming of prophet eesa we have a new batch of companions. Also they endure the greatest fitna called Dajjal and fitna of gog and magog Does this mean the companions of prophet Eesa in his second coming better than tabaeen (second generation of this ummah)?

>A Hadith in Imam Malik's Muwatta Chapter: 27, Faraid 14 states Imam Malik's Muwatta >Yahya related to me from Malik from a reliable source of his who had heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab refused to let anyone inherit from the non-arabs except for one who was born among the arabs." Malik said, "If a pregnant woman comes from the land of the enemy and gives birth in arab land so that he is her (an arab) child, he inherits from her if she dies, and she inherits from him if he dies, by the Book of Allah (al-Muwatta' ) Is this authenic if so can you explain it

I have only come across the hadith where Umar ibn al Kattab references his father's cruelty. If a parent is cruel what was advised at the time of the prophet(Saw)?

Ibn Kathir records: “Ibn Asakir has narrated under the events of Muawiyah’s slave Khadij al Hazi that Muawiyah bought a fair complexioned and beautiful slave-girl and he (Khadij) undressed her and brought her before Muawiyah, he was carrying a stick in his hand and began bowing towards her vagina and said: “I wish this vagina was for me; take her to Yazeed bin Muawyah.” He then said “No! Call Rabi’ bin Umro al Qarshi”. He (Rabi) was a jurist (Faqih). When he came, Muawiyah asked him: “This slave-girl has been brought before me in a naked condition and I have seen her here and there, I want to send her to Yazeed”. He said: “O commander of faithful! Don’t do this. This is inappropriate”. Muawiyah said: “Your suggestion is correct”. The narrator says that Muawiyah then gifted her to the servant of Fatima, daughter of Holy Prophet [s] namely Abdullah bin Mas’adat Fazari who was black and Muawiyah told him: “Make your children white through her”. Al Badayah wal Niahayh (Urdu), Vol 8 page 992 ‘Wives and sons of Muawyah’ published by Nafees Academy Karachi. If this is true that means muawiyah allowed Khadij al hazi to see a woman he does not own in her private areas. How is this justified? Thank you for your response

In the book "The lawful and prohibited" by sheikh Yusuf al Qaradawi, he cites an opinion from Ibn Abbas that only 4 types of food are prohibited as mentioned in the verse "Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful." According to Ibn 'Abbas, nothing is haram other than the four categories mentioned in the Qur'an, while what the Prophet (pbuh) forbade, such as beasts of prey, are to be regarded as makruh (detestable) rather than reaching the degree of haram. Said ibn 'Abbas, "The people of the time of Jahiliyyah ate certain foods and avoided others, according to their whim. Then Allah sent His Prophet (pbuh) and revealed His Book, and He legislated what is permissible and what is prohibited. Accordingly, what He permitted is halal, what He prohibited is haram , and that concerning which He was silent is allowed. Ibn 'Abbas then recited. 4 Say: I do not find in what is revealed to me anything prohibited to an eater in his food... (Al-An'am: 145) (2) On the basis of this verse, Ibn 'Abbas argued that the flesh of domesticated donkeys is permissible. Imam Malik agrees with him on this matter, considering beasts of prey makruh rather than haram. Reference: The lawful and prohibited page 51 The footnote on the bottom says this was a saying of Ibn Abbas recorded in Abu Dawud although the exact reference number was not given. Is this authentic and where can I find it?

Is it true that prophet Muhammad’s close companion beat his wives? If so, how was he promised paradise? Prophet Muhammad said: > *Abu Bakr will be in Paradise, ‘Umar will be in Paradise, ‘Usmaan will be in Paradise, ‘Ali will be in Paradise, Talhah will be in Paradise, > al-Zubayr will be in Paradise, ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf will be in > Paradise, Sa’d will be in Paradise, Sa’eed will be in Paradise, and > Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarraah will be in Paradise.” (Narrated by > al-Tirmidhi: 3680)* But I’ve also read that he did this to his wives > *Asma also recalled: “Whenever he reprimanded one of us, he would break off a branch from the wooden clothes hangers and beat her with > it until he broke it over her.” > > Al-Zubayr’s wives complained that he had “some harshness towards > women”. Asma wanted a divorce after he tied her and her (unnamed) > co-wife together by their hair and beat both of them “severely”. https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2013/01/06/ten-sahabah-promised-jannah/ https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Zubayr_ibn_al-Awam#cite_note-44

Sahabi as explained by majority of scholars is a person who met prophet, accepted Islam and died in the state of Islam. I am hesitant to call the non mahrams, except wives of prophet as female companions. Do all muslim females at the prophets time qualify as sahabi?

The Prophet had non-Arab Companions which converted to Islam. As they were **non-Arab**, their first religion wouldn't have been **Arabian paganism**, but something like Judaism or Christianity with the exception of **Salman the Persian** who was a Zoroastrian. There were also Arab Jews and Christians in Madinah which became Muslim. Some of these people became part of the Sahaba so **which Sahaba were Jews and Christians before they became Muslim?**

Salaam, I came across the following hadith online and was hoping someone could include the arabic version that I believe is found in Musnad Ahmad. The entire Musnad Ahmad hasn't been translated in English online yet for us to view (though I know it is available in book format). JazakAllah khair for the help. Ahmad (9504) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) led us in praying Zuhr, and in the last row there was a man who prayed badly. When he said the salaam, the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) called him and said: “O So and so, do you not fear Allah? Do you not see how you pray. You think that you could hide from me some of what you do, but by Allah I can see behind me as well as I can see in front of me.”

The links in Arabic are below. Just trying to see if anyone knows the name of the book(s) or where I can find more information online. https://www.tasnimnews.com/fa/news/1393/12/18/680140 https://www.isna.ir/news/93101709497/

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the English translation of these pages: http://www.ibnamin.com/num_hadith.htm https://www.alukah.net/library/0/72967/
