The Limits set by Allah(swt)

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.30

On the authority of Abu Tha’laba al-Khushani Jurthum ibn Nashir (Radhiallaho anha) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"Allah, the Exalted prescribed religious duties, so do not neglect them; He has set boundaries, so do not over step them; He has prohibited some things, so do not violate them; about some things He was silent - out of compassion for you, not forgetfulness, so seek not after them."

Excellence of Fasting (Saum) on 9th & 10th Muharram

Abu Qatadah (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported : The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) was asked about observing As-Saum ( the fast ) on the tenth day of Muharram, and he replied, “It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year.

[ Muslim ]


Ibn Abbas (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported : The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “If I remain alive till the next year, I shall also observe fast on the ninth of Muharram."

[ Muslim ]

Commentary:
Some people think these words stand to mean that `he will observe Saum on the 9th of Muharram only. But this interpretation does not agree with other Ahadith. In order to oppose the Jews, he (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) resolved to observe one more Saum (9th of Muharram) with that of 10th of Muharram and ordained it for the Muslims.

On the authority of Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam), said:

Forbidding the evil is part of Iman

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.34

On the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khurdari (Radhiallaho anha), who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam), say:

"Whosoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest of faith."

The most evil of the people to Allah on the Day of Resurrection

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"The most evil of the people to Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who consorts with his wife and then publicizes her secret.''

[Muslim]

Commentary:
Islam treats conjugal union as a sacred and secret act, both in social and moral terms. Indeed, the sanctity of conjugal rights contributes to the consolidation of moral norms and social cohesion. Yet, what passes between wife and husband on the consummation night is usually taken in a light vein in our societies. In the morning, both of them relate their sexual experience to their friends respectively. This is moral indecency which is incompatible with human dignity and civilized behaviour. This Hadith reckons it as a grave sin which must be eschewed. The bed-experience must be kept private by the married couple to the exclusion of a third person.

Secrecy of Private Matters

Thabit (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

Anas (Radhiallaho anha) said:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) came to me while I was playing with the boys. He greeted us and sent me on an errand. This delayed my return to my mother. When I came to her, she asked, "What detained you?'' I said; "Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) sent me on an errand.'' She asked, "What was it?'' I said, "It is a secret.'' My mother said; "Do not disclose to anyone the secret of Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam).'' Anas (Radhiallaho anha) said to Thabit (Radhiallaho anha): By Allah, were I to tell it to anyone I would have told you.

[Muslim]

Commentary:
Here, an emphasis has been laid on keeping a secret. When Anas (Radhiallaho anha) told his mother about the cause of secrecy, she refrained from insisting that the secret should be disclosed to her. Rather, she lent support to her son's standpoint and advised him to conceal the secret. To be sure, it is part of moral teaching that we should keep the secrets of friends in our hearts. Unless we receive a go-ahead from a friend, we must not make his secret public.

A good Supplication (Dua) to heal sickness

Ibn `Abbas (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times:

As'alullahal-`Azima Rabbal-`Arshil-`Azimi, an yashfiyaka

(I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you),

Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness.''


[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]


Commentary:

There is always a great certainty that Allah will respond to a supplication which springs from a sincere, veracious heart. One should, therefore, pray for a patient with full conviction and reassurance of heart. Moreover, the Prophet's prayers have special effect and grace and therefore their original wordings should be uttered.
