DISCUSSION ON JURISTIC REASONING (QIYAAS)
There are four sources and proofs of Shariah, i.e. the Quran, Hadith, Consensus of the Ummah and Deduction (Qiyaas).
The Holy Prophetﷺ once passed two graves and said, “The inmates of these graves are undergoing punishment, and my transport (a mule) is restless on seeing this. One of them was a shepherd of camels who never protected himself from their drops of urine, and the other was a backbiter. This is why they’re being punished.” After saying this, Rasoolullahﷺ broke a branch into two pieces, placed a piece on each grave and said, “The punishment of the grave will be lessened for as long as they remain green.” – Bukhari Sharif
1.Nothing blocks the blessed vision and eyes of Rasoolullahﷺ . He sees even behind coverings (The punishment of the grave was occurring beneath meters of sand)
2. Through the blessings of the Prophet the mule saw the punishment of the grave and became restless, while our mules go past graveyards day and night but don’t lose any sleep. Thus, if the Holy Prophetﷺ has to cast a glance on a Wali (Friend of Allahﷻ), the curtains of obscurity are lifted for him as well.
3.The Prophet ﷺ knows every visible, hidden, former and latter action of every person. He said, “One of them was a shepherd of camels who never protected himself from their drops of urine, and the other was a backbiter,” but neither of them did these things in front of him! Thus, he knows every action and doing.
4.Rasoolullahﷺ knows how to save someone from Divine punishment and how to remove it. He is aware of all spiritual ills as well as their remedy.
5.Through the blessings of fresh greenery’s Tasbeeh, the punishment in the grave of a Mu’min is lightened. Therefore, if recitation of the Holy Quran or the Zikr of Allahﷻ is made, the deceased will surely gain benefit, because the Tasbeeh of a believer is more superior to that of plants.
6.Even though dry things also make Tasbeeh: the punishment of the grave is not removed by their zikr. For Zikr to be effective, it’s necessary for the tongue with which it is made to also be effective. The Zikr of a Mu’min, however, who has the greenery and freshness of the Prophet’s ﷺ love, is worthwhile.
7.Placing green plants, flowers, etc. on the grave of a Mu’min is beneficial because the inmates of the grave gain advantage through it. Here, the Prophet placed fresh, green branches on the graves and said, “Punishment will be lessened for as long as they remain fresh.”
“The mountain Uhud loves us and we love it.(Bukhari)
The following rules of Shariah and Tareeqat are extracted
1. Mindless animals, lifeless sticks and even stones possess love for the Noble Messengerﷺ .
2.The human who doesn’t have love for Rasoolullahﷺ is more hard-hearted than stones and is a lower life form than animals.
3.When the Prophet ﷺ knows the condition of a rock’s heart (“Uhud loves us…”), how can he not know the secrets of human hearts? Indeed, no seen thing is hidden from him.
4. Uhud said nothing, yet the state of its heart is clear to Rasoolullahﷺ . If the Messengerﷺ doesn’t know these things, how will he intercede (shafa’at) on Qiyaamat?
5.The compensation of all worship (ibaadat) is Jannat, but the result of having love for Rasoolullahﷺ is love itself .The reward of his love is being loved by the one who has control over Jannat [i.e. the Holy Prophetﷺ ].
Hadrat Sulaiman (as) passed away in the state of namaaz while Baitul-Muqaddas was being constructed (he remained in the standing position for six months, being supported by his walking stick). Eventually, termites ate his stick and his blessed body fell to the ground. When the jinns (who were working on the construction) saw this, they abandoned their work and fled the area. From this ayat and incident, we can deduce,
1.After death, the bodies of the prophets are safe from decomposing and perishing. See: the body of Hadrat Sulaiman (as) remained the same for six months without any change.
2. Insects cannot consume the bodies of the prophets. The termites ate Hadrat Sulaiman’s (as) stick, not his blessed foot.
3. Hadrat Sulaiman’s (as) kafn didn’t become dirty or soiled during these six months. Otherwise, the Jinns would have known that he passed away.
4.The prophets fulfill religious and worldly needs even after their passing! Hadrat Sulaiman (as)made sure the Baitul-Muqaddas Musjid was completed even after his demise.
5. Due to a religious need, to delay the kafn and burial of a prophet is the Sunnah of Allahﷻ For the completion of the Musjid, Allahﷻ kept Hadrat Sulaiman (as) without any kafn or burial for six months after his demise. Thus, the Sahaaba delaying the kafn and burial of Sayyiduna Rasoolullahﷺ in order to select a Khalifa is absolutely correct because the appointment of a Khalifa is far more important than the completion of a Musjid.
