Ala Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and the Science of Hadith
said, “May Allah Almighty keep that person fresh who hears my hadith, memorises it and conveys it to others.”[1]
Sayyiduna Zakariyya ibn ‘Adiy رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه says, “After the passing of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mubarak رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه , I saw him in the dream state and asked him, مَافَعَلَ اللہُ بِکَ اللہ ‘How did Allah Almighty treat you?’ He replied, ‘Allah Almighty forgave me for my travels in seeking Ahadith.’”[2]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Having certainty in the statements of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the life of faith
Dear Islamic brothers, the second Madani pearl that we learnt from the biography of A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه is that we should have complete certainty in the sayings of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .
This is a requirement of our faith. In fact, this is the essence of Iman. Hakim al-Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’imi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states, “The reality of iman is to have trust in Allah Almighty and His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .”
He further mentions:
If the truth be told, the life of faith is that a person trusts the statements of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم more than his own senses. If our eyes are telling us that it is daytime but the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is informing us that this is actually nighttime, then our eyes are mistaken and the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is truthful. Our eyes err thousands of times, but his صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم statement is never wrong.[3]
