Importance of the Sunnah

Posted Apr 10, 2010 by Aboo Thaabit with 2 Comments

Reported by al-Hasan al-Basri that Imraan bin Husayn was sitting with his companions when a man amongst the people said:

Do not mention to us anything but the Qur’aan!

Whereupon Imraan said to him:

Come closer!

And the man came closer. Imraan said to the man:

Imagine if you and your people had been left with (interpreting) the Qur’aan? Would you then have found that the Dhuhr prayer consists of four units?

Or that the ‘Asr prayer consists of four units and Maghrib of three wherein you recite in two of them (out loud)?

Have you pondered upon the fact that if you and your people were left with (interpreting) the Qur’aan, would you then have found the Tawaaf to be seven (circles around the Ka’bah)?

Or the Tawaaf between Safa and Marwa (being mentioned)?

Then Imraan said:

Oh people take from us (i.e our knowledge) for by Allah if you do not, then you will certainly go astray!

[Translated from Tadween as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah by Dr. Muhammad Matar az-Zahraani]

    SubhaanAllaah. Indeed it is as Imaam of Madeenah Maalik ibn Anas rahimahullaah said, “The Sunnah is Noah’s Arc. Whoever rides on it is saved and whoever missed it is destroyed.”

Random Fatwa

Passing away in Ramadhaan

Question: The Prophet said;
When Ramadhaan arrives the doors of Paradise are flung open and the doors of Hellfire are slammed shut.
Does this mean that one who dies in Ramadhaan enters Paradise without questioning? Answer: The situation is not as such. Rather, what this means is the doors of Paradise are flung open as an inspiration to the Muslims to make easy their entry (to Paradise). And the doors of Hellfire are shut to prevent the Believers from sins such that they do not enter (through) these doors. And this does not mean that one who dies in Ramadhaan enters Paradise without questioning, rather those who shall enter Paradise without questioning are those whom the Messenger has described in his statement;
They are the ones who do not steal and do not cauterise and are not pessimistic and in their Lord they put their trust.
[Fataawa Shaykh Muhammad as-Saalih al-Uthaymeen Volume 1, Page 561]
