▪️Explanation of Hadith Narrated by Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah created all the creatures and when He finished the task of His creation, Ar-Rahm (ties of relationship) said: '(O Allah) at this place I seek refuge with You against severing my ties.' Allah said: 'That I treat with kindness those who treat you with kindness and sever ties with those who sever ties with you.' It said: 'I am satisfied.' Allah said: 'Then this is yours". Then Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Recite this Ayah if you like: 'Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? Such are they whom Allah has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight". (47:22,23).

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

▪️Explanation of Hadith Narrated by Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A person came to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and asked, "Who among people is most deserving of my fine treatment?" He (ﷺ) said, "Your mother". He again asked, ''Who next?" "Your mother", the Prophet (ﷺ) replied again. He asked, "Who next?" He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said again, "Your mother." He again asked, "Then who?" Thereupon he (ﷺ) said," Then your father."

In another narration: "O Messenger of Allah! Who is most deserving of my fine treatment?" He (ﷺ) said, "Your mother, then your mother, then your mother, then your father, then your nearest, then nearest".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

▪️Explanation of Hadith Narrated by Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced, whose parents, one or both, attain old age during his life time, and he does not enter Jannah (by rendering being dutiful to them)".

[Muslim].

▪️Explanation of Hadith Narrated by Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A man said to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "I have relatives with whom I try to keep the ties of relationship but they sever relations with me; and whom I treat kindly but they treat me badly, I am gentle with them but they are rough to me." He (ﷺ) replied, "If you are as you say, it is as if you are feeding them hot ashes, and you will be with a supporter against them from Allah as long as you continue to do so".

[Muslim].

▪️Explanation of Hadith Narrated by Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who desires ample provisions and his life be prolonged, should maintain good ties with his blood relations".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

▪️Explanation of Hadith Narrated by Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Abu Talhah (May Allah be pleased with him) was the richest among the Ansar of Al-Madinah and possessed the largest property; and among his possessions what he loved most was his garden known as Bairuha' which was opposite the mosque, and Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) often visited it and drank from its fresh water. When this ayah was revealed: "By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness - here it means Allah's reward, i.e., Jannah), unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of that which you love," (3:92). Abu Talhah came to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and said: "Allah says in His Book: 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of that which you love,' and the dearest of my property is Bairuha' so I have given it as Sadaqah (charity) for Allah's sake, and I anticipate its reward with Him; so spend it, O Messenger of Allah, as Allah guides you". Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Well-done! That is profitable property. I have heard what you have said, but I think you should spend it on your nearest relatives." So Abu Talhah distributed it among his nearest relatives and cousins.

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ. إِنَّ العَيْنَ لَتَدْمَعُ، وَإِنَّ القَلْبَ لَيَحْزَنُ، وَإِنَّا عَلَى فِرَاقِكَ لَمَحْزُونُونَ.
رَحِمَ اللَّهُ الشَّيْخَ العَلَّامَةَ المُفْتِي عَبْدَالعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِاللَّهِ آلِ الشَّيْخ، الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ أَمْسِ الثُّلَاثَاء ١ رَبِيعِ الثَّانِي ١٤٤٧ هـ.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ العِبَادِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ العُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا» [رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ].

لَمَّا بَلَغَ الإِمَامَ البُخَارِيَّ خَبَرُ وَفَاةِ الإِمَامِ الدَّارِمِيِّ – رَحِمَهُمَا اللَّهُ – نَكَسَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ وَاسْتَرْجَعَ، وَجَعَلَتْ تَسِيلُ دُمُوعُهُ عَلَى خَدَّيْهِ، وَقَالَ:
إِنْ تَبْقَ تُفْجَعْ فِي الأَحِبَّةِ كُلِّهِمْ ••• فَفَنَاءُ نَفْسِكَ لَا أَبَا لَكَ أَفْجَعُ
وَمَا كَانَ يَنْشِدُ شِعْرًا إِلَّا مَا جَاءَ فِي الحَدِيثِ.

إِنَّ فَقْدَ العُلَمَاءِ مُصِيبَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، لَا يُدْرِكُ أَثَرَهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ تُدْرِكُهَا القُلُوبُ الحَيَّةُ، وَالأَنْفُسُ العَارِفَةُ بِفَضْلِ العِلْمِ وَأَهْلِهِ.
وَقَدْ صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَالَ: "إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ العُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا". [رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ].

نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ، وَأَنْ يُخْلِفَ الأُمَّةَ خَيْرًا، وَيُبَارِكَ فِيمَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ أَهْلِ العِلْمِ العَامِلِينَ.

نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الثَّبَاتَ عَلَى الحَقِّ، وَأَنْ يُلْحِقَنَا بِالصَّالِحِينَ غَيْرَ مَفْتُونِينَ.


Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return. Truly, the eyes shed tears, and the heart grieves, and we are deeply saddened by your departure.
May Allah have mercy on the esteemed scholar and Grand Mufti, Shaykh Abdulaziz ibn Abdullah Aal al-Shaykh, who passed away yesterday, Tuesday, 1st of Rabi‘ al-Thani, 1447 AH.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people, but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars. When He leaves no scholar behind, people will take ignorant leaders; they will be asked, and they will issue fatwas without knowledge. They will go astray and lead others astray.” [Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim]

When Imam al-Bukhari received news of the death of Imam al-Darimi—may Allah have mercy on them both—he bowed his head, then raised it and recited “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un”. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he said:

If you remain alive, you will grieve the loss of all your loved ones ••• The death of your own self—indeed!—is the bitterest sorrow of all

And he would not recite poetry, except that which came in the hadith.”

The loss of scholars is a profound calamity—its weight often unrecognized by many, yet deeply felt by hearts that are alive and souls that truly understand the value of knowledge and its people.

Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke the truth when he said: “Allah does not take away knowledge by removing it from the people, but takes it away with the passing of the scholars…” [Bukhari and Muslim]

We ask Allah to raise his rank in the highest levels of Paradise, to grant the Ummah a righteous replacement, and to bless the efforts of the remaining scholars who act upon their knowledge.

We ask Allah for steadfastness upon the truth, and that He joins us with the righteous—not led astray, nor leading others astray.

📚 Glad Tidings to the People of the Sunnah

‏[[The Virtue of Dying upon the Sunnah]]

What is meant by “the Sunnah” according to the righteous predecessors (al-salaf al-ṣāliḥ) and the early Imams of Islam is: the sound creed — the correct belief held by the Companions, the Followers, and those who followed them in excellence — and to abandon innovations, desires, and deviant doctrines

1. Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān said: ‏“I entered upon my father while I was sorrowful.‏He asked, ‘What is wrong?’‏I said, ‘A friend of mine has died.’‏He said, ‘Did he die upon the Sunnah?’‏I said, ‘Yes.’‏He said, ‘Then do not fear for him.’”
‏📖 [Sharḥ al-Iʿtiqād by al-Lālakāʾī (61)]‏

2. Mujāhid said:‏“I do not know which of the two blessings upon me is greater: that He guided me to Islam, or that He protected me from these desires (innovations).”
‏📖 [Musnad al-Dārimī (317)]

3. Al-Fuḍayl ibn ʿIyāḍ said:
“Glad tidings (ṭūbā) to the one who dies upon Islam and the Sunnah.”
📖 [Sharḥ al-Iʿtiqād by al-Lālakāʾī (268)]

4. Ibn ʿAwn said:
“Whoever dies upon Islam and the Sunnah has a bearer of glad tidings for every good.”
📖 [Sharḥ al-Iʿtiqād by al-Lālakāʾī (60)]

5. Imām Mālik said:
“Whoever dies upon the Sunnah, let him rejoice.
Whoever dies upon the Sunnah, let him rejoice.
Whoever dies upon the Sunnah, let him rejoice.”

6. Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal said:
“Whoever dies upon Islam and the Sunnah dies upon all good.”
📖 [Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ (11/269)]

8. Abū Bakr al-Marwadhī said:
I said to Abū ʿAbdillāh — Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal —:
“Whoever dies upon Islam and the Sunnah, does he die upon good?”
He said to me,
“Be silent! Whoever dies upon Islam and the Sunnah dies upon all good.”
📖 [al-Waraʿ by al-Marwadhī (192)]

9. Ṭalḥah ibn ʿUbaydillāh al-Baghdādī said:
“I happened to embark on a ship at the same time as Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal.
He would remain silent for long periods, and when he spoke, he would say:
‘O Allah, cause us to die upon Islam and the Sunnah.’”
📖 [Tārīkh Dimashq by Ibn ʿAsākir (5/323)]

10. Al-Ḥasan ibn Ayyūb al-Baghdādī said:
“Someone said to Abū ʿAbdillāh Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal:
‘May Allah keep you alive, O Abā ʿAbdillāh.’
He replied: ‘(May He keep me alive) upon Islam and the Sunnah.’”
📖 [Tārīkh Dimashq by Ibn ʿAsākir (5/323)]

11. Yaḥyā ibn ʿAwn said:
“I entered with Sahnūn upon Ibn al-Qaṣṣār while he was ill.
Sahnūn said to him: ‘Why this anxiety?’
He replied: ‘(I fear) death and the meeting with Allah.’
Sahnūn said: ‘Are you not a believer in the messengers, the resurrection, the reckoning, Paradise and Hell;
that the best of this Ummah are Abū Bakr then ʿUmar;
that the Qur’an is the Speech of Allah, uncreated;
that Allah will be seen on the Day of Resurrection;
that He rose above the Throne;
and that one must not rebel against the rulers even if they are unjust?’
He said: ‘By Allah, yes.’
Sahnūn said: ‘Then die whenever you wish, die whenever you wish.’”
📖 [Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ (23/61)]

All of this indicates that whoever has firmly established the foundations of belief and sincerely established Tawheed may be at peace at the time of death, إن شاء اله

We ask Allah — Glorified and Exalted be He — to let us live and die upon Tawḥīd and the Sunnah.
