Is it really a mercy?

Posted May 15, 2010 by Aboo Thaabit with 10 Comments

Some people often qoute the hadith of the Prophet wherein which he says, the differences within my Ummah is a mercy. However this hadith is not correct.

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked this question and this is the reply he gave:

This is wrong (ie if they mean that the opposite is true, meaning unity is a punishment), because ikhtilaaf is not a mercy and this is due to Allahs statement

وَلاَ يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ

And they will never seize to differ except those whom Allah has mercy upon.

So this shows the weakness in the mentioned hadith. However those who differ and are Mujtahideen (well rooted in knowledge) then they will aquire mercy (from Allah).

If a person sneezes and does not praise Allah, do we remind him? [to praise Allah]

Shaykh ibn 'Uthaymeen - may Allah have mercy upon him - said:

If a person sneezes and does not praise Allah, do not say to him 'yarhamakAllah' [may Allah have mercy upon you] as a punishment for him because he didnt say alhamdulilah, meaning the fact that he left off praising Allah it caused him to be denied this du'aa of mercy. But then [the question might arise] do we remind such a person [to praise Allah]?

The answer: It is possible that the person did not say alhamdulilah out of disrespect [towards Allah] or it is also possible that the person left it due to forgetfullness. So if it is due to the latter [i.e out of forgetfullness] then such a person is to be reminded but if it is due to the fact that this person is being disrespectful then he is not to be reminded. However, how does one know wether the person in question left it [praising Allah] due to forgetfullness or out of disrespect? Understanding the hadith on its apparent meaning [the hadith wherein which the Prophet mentions]

...and [he] praises Allah...

[So what can be understood from this is] If the person does not praise Allah do not say may Allah have mercy upon you similarly do not remind him [of that].

Reading Surah Faatiha twice?

Question: What is the ruling for the person who repeats the recitation of Surah Faatiha? Meaning when he finishes it once, he recites it once again? Answer: It is not allowed to knowingly repeat Surah Faatiha, since this has not be reported from the Prophet.  And he said;

Whoever introduces anything new into our affair (i.e. Islaam) that which is not from it, then it will be rejected. [Bukhaaree]

However the Salaah is still correct, and such a person should be given sincere advice (to stop it) so that he does not repeat this practise. [Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa-imah 276/8]
