Qiyas/Research
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: “Follow the great mass (as-Sawad al-Azam) for he who kept himself away from it, in fact would be thrown in Hell Fire.” (Ibn Majah; vide: Mishkat, 1/174, by A.H. Siddiqui).
The translator of Mishkat-ul-Masabih (A.H. Siddiqui, pg. 113) said in the footnote to the last Hadith: “There is a good deal of difference of opinion as to what the term Sawad al-Azam implies.The overwhelming majority of the scholars are of the view that As-Sawad al-Azam means the largest group of the learned scholars and pious persons whose opinions are held in high esteem in Islam.”
“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.
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)
