Three sayings about avoiding bad assumption
1. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘Refrain from bad assumption. Indeed bad assumption is the worst lie.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 3, pp. 446, Hadees 5143)
The Revered and Renowned Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘A Muslim’s blood, wealth and bad assumption about him is Haraam (for the other Muslim).’ (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 5, pp. 297, Hadees 6706)
It is
narrated from Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah
رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا: ‘One who has bad assumption about his
Muslim brother; indeed he has bad assumption about his Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ (Ad-Durr-ul-Mansoor,
part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, vol. 7, pp. 566)
When will the Shar’i ruling of bad assumption be applicable?
Dear Islamic brothers! A person will not be declared sinful merely on the basis of the bad assumption coming in his heart about someone. Considering someone deserving of punishment just because a bad thought has come in his heart means burdening him with more than what he can bear, which is against the principle of Shar’iah.
