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

# Statements: # Imam **Abu Haneefah** (may Allah have mercy on him) said: > "If the hadeeth is saheeh then that is my madhhab." > > “It is not permissible for anyone to follow what we say if they do not know where we got it from.” > > (According to another report) > “It is haraam for the one who does not know my evidence to issue a fatwa based on my words.” > > (According to another report, he added:) >“We are human, we may say something today and retract it tomorrow.” > > “If I say something that goes against the Book of Allaah or the report of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), then ignore what I say.” Imam **Maalik** (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: >“I am only human, sometimes I make mistakes and sometimes I get things right. Look at my opinion and whatever is in accordance with the Qur’aan and Sunnah, take it, and whatever is not in accordance with the Qur’aan and Sunnah, ignore it.” > > “There is no one after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) whose words cannot be taken or left, apart from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” (“Everyone’s statement can be taken or rejected except for the companion of this grave”) Imam **al-Shaafa’i** (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: > “There is no one who will not be unaware of some of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Whatever I say or whatever guidelines I establish, if there is a report from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which is different to what I said, then what matters is what the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, and that is my opinion.” Imam **Ahmad** (may Allah have mercy on him) said: > “Do not follow me blindly and do not follow Maalik or al-Shaafa’i or al-Awzaa’i or al-Thawri blindly. Learn from where they learned.” > > “The opinion of al-Awzaa’i and the opinion of Maalik and the opinion of Abu Haneefah are all mere conjecture and it is all the same to me. Rather evidence is to be found in the reports – i.e., in the shar’i evidence.” These statements are widely cited by many including Islamqa and are so much popular that people don't feel the necessity to give the source of it. So I would like to know where this statement is written. What is the source of these statements? Where did these statements come from? There must be a source. I hope someone will be able to find it. Jazzak Allah Khair.

I wanted to find out what is the context of man should leave home in morning to find work? In the days of work from home, it is impossible to find work on-site so how can we make sure the context of “Men should leave houses in morning”? Little background is I am software developer and lost my job, last time left job I was in home and in home my wife was always on phone, when I tell her to stop and give time to home, kids she get angry and say that men should not be home. This is a problem because if I don’t have work I cannot pay co-working space to work but still her relatives think I should. What is the context of “men should leave house after dawn” and how can this be applied to modern day?

> *Hold on to your salah, because if you lose that, you will lose > everything else.* **—Umar ibn al-Khattab** (May Allah be pleased with him.) What is a reliable source I can cite to record this quote?

I've heard about a story of 2 tribes or families where they derived from 2 brother which parted ways. One of the tribes had beautiful women and ugly men while the other had beautiful men and ugly women. I don't remember clearly but they were not allowed to mix with together. Allah allowed the shaitan to misguide them as a test so shaitan made music and had parties from a tribe to attract the others on the other tribe. This is how music instruments and music was invented. Does such a story exist? What is the source of this story? Or did I just imagine it?

Hadith confirmation Hazrat Umar ibn al - Khattab reported : " I was with the Prophet while my daughter Hafsa was sitting with me . The Prophet said : ' The Satan is between you two . ' So , we separated . "

*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.

Is there any event in which Hazrat Ali(RA) ordered the killing of 40 people because they exceeded the limits of love with Hazrat Ali(RA) and declared Hazrat Ali(RA) to be the God.

Most of the males in my place wear head covering with a cap or turban. Also some of the masjid have baskets full of caps for those who come to prayer without it. They don't say you have to wear them in order to pray, but you get hard looks at times. I have researched this and found that it is not a part of sunnah, but instead local customs or tradition. If we cover or not, it doesn't make any difference. Also the male head is not considered awrah. Also, men who are in ihraam pray bareheaded, because they are not allowed to cover their heads whilst in ihraam. This is solely my opinion from the research I have done. In my research, I found: what Imam Shafi'i had to say about this...its mentioned below:- > Imam Shafi'i said, "The covering of the head during salah or otherwise is mubah. Whoever claims that it is mandub, his opinion is invalid because of the lack of evidence in the chain of transmission; unless people use logic as evidence and this is not valid in our Shariah" (sunnah.org ) I'm seeking a reference for this. Also, I would like to know umar ra had said something in regarding this subject?

> > > Abu Umaamah said : the prophet said " 160 Angel's have been appointed over the believer to protect him from that which has not been decreed for him, including his eyes which are protected by seven Angel's as a vessel of honey is protected from flies. If a person were left to his own devices for even an instant, the devils would cause him a great deal of harm" . Al qurtubi, 20/4. Searching Google with reference isn't giving any results in English I cannot type Arabic easily nor understand Arabic. My question is the above hadith authentic or hasan?

I recently stumbled upon an article on facebook saying > It is sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to pray 2 witr before 2 fard > in Fajr. That ha set in me so strong that I started praying but now I want to find a source and where it is mentioned?

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

Do these narrations exist? > “(The barefoot, naked, deaf and dumb) are the top leaders of the people” This means the kings of the earth as explicitly stated in al-Isma‘īlī’s narrations, and Abū Farwa names the kings in his narrations. Those meant are the people of the desert, as explicitly stated in Sulayman al-Taymī’s and other narrations: “Who are the barefoot and naked?” He replied: “The little Arabs (al-‘urayb).” (Another website also cites Sulayman al-Taymī saying "the Bedouin Arabs.") The closest I've found is Musnad Ahmad Hambal 2924 but that just says "The Arabs." Are these prophecies real?

Corbin, in his *History of Islamic Philosophy* quotes from the Tafsir of Avicenna, on Surah 113: >I seek refuge in the Lord of Day break (verse 1). Avicenna writes: >This means: I seek refuge with him who shatters the darkness of non-being with the light of being, and who is the primordial Principle, the Being who is necessary of himself. And this (burst of light), as inhering in his absolute goodness, resides as primal intention in his very ipseity. The first of the beings who emanate from him—the first Intelligence—is its Emanation. Evil does not exist in it, other than that which is occulted beneath the outspreading light of the First Being—the opacity, that is to say, inherent in the quiddity which proceeds from its essence. I'd like to find where this quote is from - either online, or more likely some book.

I have heard this colloquially but I would like to be pointed to a reference in the Hadith for the notion that "every spot that we do Sajdah at on this Earth, will testify for us on the Day of Judgment; it will emit light on that Day for us" JAK
