Some Important Points!!!

To describe Ahadith of Prophet , our old scholars invented an amazing method. Theyused to describe the chain of narrators before describing Prophets words. The objective of describing

this chain was to provide the complete trail for people between the writer of a Hadith Book and the

Prophet. In this Hadith the narrators are as follows: Line No. 1 is the statement of Imam Bukhari, the author of , the famous Hadith Book. Line No. 2 is the statement of Humaidi. Imam Bukhari got this Hadith from him.

Line No. 3 is the statement of Sufyan. Humaidi got this Hadith from him.

Line No. 4 is the statement of Yahya Bin Saeed Ansari. Sufyan got this Hadith from him.

Line No. 5 is the statement of Muhammad Bin Ibraheem Al-Teemi. Yahya got this Hadith from him.

Line No. 6 is the statement of Alqamah Bin Waqas Al-Lithi. Al-Teemi got this Hadith from him.

Line No. 7 is the statement of Caliph Umar Bin Khattab . Alqamah got this Hadith fromhim.

Line No. 8 is the statement of Prophet . Umar got this Hadith from him.If a researcher wants to check the authenticity of this Hadith, he has to study the biographies of theseseven people to get information about their character. If they are reliable people, the Hadith will be

authentic. You can find their biographies in the books of Rijaal. Imam Bukhari has already done this job

and included the Ahadith reported by the reliable narrators.

The part of Hadith describing the names of narrators is called the . The words used by the narratorsare also very important. Each word describes the procedure of getting Hadith from the next narrator. The

detail is as follows:

: It means that Mr. X has described Hadith to us. It is the testimony of that narrator that he hasheard this Hadith directly from Mr. X. : It means that Mr. X has informed us about this Hadith. It is also the testimony of that narratorthat he has heard this Hadith directly from Mr. X.

: It means that the narrator has heard this Hadith directly from Mr. X. These three words describea strong way of receiving a Hadith.

: It means that the narrator has received this Hadith from Mr. X. It is not clear that he has heard thisHadith directly from him or through some other person. It weakens the way of receiving a Hadith. Due

to this reason, Hadith experts do not consider a Hadith with reliable if one of its narrators has thehabit to hide the name(s) of one or more narrators. This practice is called which is a form ofdeceiving others.

.) 1361(And the one who wants to be financially

independent, Allah makes him independent.

In this Hadith, the Prophet motivated rich people to spend in Allahs way. He alsostirred poor people to avoid begging and asked them to make a target to become financially independent.

The Prophet asked to start charity from kith and kin. If a person wants to spend on poor, he should start it

from his poor relatives. A person should not give all his wealth to poor because it will make him poor.

:Muhammad Bin Jafar described thisHadith to us.

Shuba described this Hadith to us, (he

derived it) from Mansoor, (he derived it)

from Ibraheem, (he derived it) from

Hammam Bin Al-Harith:

.That a man praised Uthmaan. . .

.Miqdad proceeded, he bent his knees (to

pick pebbles, although) he was a fat man.

.Then he put these pebbles on his face.

: : :Uthman said to him, What happened to

you? He said, Verily, Allahs Prophet said.

" . ") 3002(

When you see people who praise, pour

dust upon their faces.

Miqdad Bin Aswad was one of great companions of the Prophet . He isone of the earliest converts to Islam. Probably, the guy may had praised Caliph Uthman to getsome benefit. In Islam, praising the rulers in front of them to get some benefit is highly discouraged.

Miqdad did that to discourage that person. In that Bedouin society, expressing hatred in this way was a

normal thing.

Think about it! Why praising someone is discouraged in this Hadith?

What type of praise is forbidden?
