About mourning

Umme Attiya states:….. I said to the Prophet ﷺ ‘I will not be involved in the mourning of anyone except the tribe of a particular woman because during the time of Jaahiliyya she had been involved in my mourning and it is necessary for me to be involved in her mourning. The Prophet ruled ‘Except for the (mourning of) that tribe, mourning in Haraam.(Muslim)

Imam Nawawi states:…It is clear that except for Umme Attiya mourning is not halal, and it is also not halal for Umme Attiya except when mourning for a paticular tribe. The legislator has the right to except anyone from a ruling as he wishes (Nawawi ala’l Muslim)

Tasarruf in the Baatin (spiritual)

Ubai ibn Ka’b (ra) narrates that I was once in the mosque when a man entered and began praying Salah. He recited a Qir’ah (recitation) which was unfamiliar to me. Then another man entered who recited in a way different to the first man. When I finished my Salah, we all went to the auspicious presence of Rasulullah ﷺand I asked, the recitation of the first man seemed strange to me and the recitation of the second man was different to the first man’s.Rasulullah ﷺasked them both to recite and thereafter praised them both.My heart then felt a rejection that I had not even felt in the days of ignorance. Rasulullah ﷺsaw the inner feelings of my heart and placed his blessed hand on my chest. I became drenched in sweat and my state became such that I am seeing Allah. Sahih Muslim, vol.1, p.273

Ibn Hisham narrates that:“Whilst performing tawaf (circumambulation) during the year of conquest of Makka, Fudala bin ‘Umair Laithi intended to martyr Rasulullah ﷺ(he was a recent convert and he had not yet achieved full spiritual purity). When Rasulullah ﷺcame near him he asked, “Are you Fudala?” Fudala replied in the affirmative. Rasulullah ﷺthen asked, “What were you thinking in your heart?” “Nothing”, he replied, “I was only doing the remembrance of Allah”. Rasulullah ﷺsmiled and said, “Continue with this remembrance” and then placed his blessed hand on Fudala’s chest. His heart immediately received peace. Fudala (ra) used to say, “By Allah! Even before Rasulullah ﷺhad

lifted his hand off my chest, there was nothing in the whole of creation that was dearer to me than Rasulullah ﷺ.al-Sirat al-Nabawiya ma’a al-Rawd al-Anf, vol.2, p.276; Fiqh al-Sira, p.263

Sahaaba of the Prophet ﷺ believed -he had been given authority to extend the limit of the Masa on the Khufayn.
