Dars e Ahadith-Fitna Jamaah

“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet ﷺ  as saying:  “One who found in his Amir (the ruler of the true Islamic state; which is absent today) something which he disliked should hold his patience, for one who separated from the main body of the Muslims even to the extent of a handspan and then he died, would die the death of one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya.” (Sahih Muslim, 3/4559; English ed’n & Sahih al-Bukhari, 9/257; English ed’n).

On following Ahlus sunnah wal jammat [majority group]”You have to follow the Congregation for verily Allah will not make the largest group of Muhammad’s Community agree on error[ Reference : Ibn Abi Shayba relates it with a sound chain as hadith # 354 ]

Allah will never let my Ummah agree upon misguidance, and the hand of Allah is over the group (Jama’ah), so follow the great mass of believers (Sawad ul-‘Azam), and whoever dissents from them departs to hell [A narration “AUTHENTICATED” and reported by al-Hakim (1/116), and al-Dhahabi agreed with him]

“Verily Allah will not make my Community agree on error[ Reference:Tirmidhi with a fair (hasan) chain ]

“Verily Allah will not make my Community — or Muhammad’s Community — agree on error, and Allah’s hand is with the largest Congregation.”[Reference :Tirmidhi (gharib) #2256, Cairo ed. `Aridat al-ahwadhi (11:9)]Note here that above hadith is called Gharib but a Gharib hadith is not necessarily Daeef, even if we agree it is that Authentic hadith of Imam Hakim

[rah]

makes it Sahih as wordings are same. What

some people mostly do is to show only one chain and claim all hadiths are Daeef which is misguiding ignorant people actually.

“Whoever among you wants to be in the middle of Paradise, let him cling to the Congregation.”[Reference : Tirmidhi related it and said it is sound (sahih).]

“Shaytan is a wolf like the wolf that preys on sheep, taking the isolated and the stray among them; therefore, avoid factionalism and keep to the

Congregation and the collective and the masjid.”[Reference: Ahmad relates it through Mu`adh and through Abu Dharr, the two chains being respectively fair [hasan] and sound [sahih] according to Haythami in Majma` al-zawa’id 6/123]

“My Community shall never agree upon misguidance, therefore, if you see divergences, you must follow the greater mass or larger group Ibn Majah (2:1303 #3950) from Anas with a weak chain. Imam Ahmad narrates it mawquf through three sound chains to Abu Umama al-Bahili and

Ibn Abi Awfa. However, it is marfu` to the Prophet from Abu Umama by Ibn Abi Shayba in his Musannaf as well as Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, the latter two’s narration stating that Abu Umama heard this from the Prophet up to seven times. Bayhaqi in al-Madkhal narrates something similar from Ibn `Abbas.Above hadith came from multiple chains, one daeef [weak] and three other Sahih ones.

 “My Community shall not agree upon misguidance. Therefore, you must stay with the Congregation, and Allah’s hand is over the Congregation.[Reference: Tabarani narrated it with two chains from Ibn `Umar, one of which is sound (sahih). See Haythami, Majma` al-zawa’id, chapter on the obligation to stay with the Congregation.]

“Verily Allah has protected my Community from agreeing upon error.”[Ibn Abi `Asim narrated it in the Sunna and Albani declared it hasan in his Silsila sahiha (3:319).]

Sahih Bukhari Book 56 Hadith 803 -Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman: ….. He said, “Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them).” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Describe those people to us.” He said, “They will belong to us and speak our language (i.e Arabic) ” I asked, “What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life?”,He said, “Adhere to the CONGREGATION OF MUSLIMS and their Chief.” I asked, “If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)?” He said, “Keep away from all those different sects, even if you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet Allah while you are still in that state.”[END] So if Congregation of muslims [sawad us adham ] is not available one is advised to 2keep away from all smaller sects according to sahih bukhari  book 56/803

“Allah’s hand is over the group.”[Sunan Tirmidhi , Hadith termed hasan] al-Munawi said: “Allah’s hand is over the group means His protection and preservation for them, signifying that the collectivity of the people of Islam are in Allah’s fold, so be also in Allah’s shelter, in the midst of them, and do not separate yourselves from them. Whoever diverges from the overwhelming majority concerning what is lawful and unlawful and on which the Community does not differ has slipped off the path of guidance and this will lead him to hell.[al-Munawi, Sharh al-Jami` al-saghir 3:449]

When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
