Details of this follow: \r\n\r\n-1-\r\n\r\nIt was narrated from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: \r\n\r\n\u201cThe one whose main concern is this world has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not fear Allah has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them.\u201d \r\n\r\nThis hadeeth was narrated via several isnads from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him). \r\n\r\n(i)\r\n\r\nFrom Shaqeeq ibn Salamah from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him): \r\n\r\nIt was narrated by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak (4\/352) and Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Mawdoo\u2019at (3\/132) via Ishaq ibn Bishr, Sufyan al-Thawri narrated to us, from al-A\u2019mash, from Shaqeeq. \r\n\r\nThis isnad is very da\u2019eef and munkar because of Ishaq ibn Bishr. In his biography in Meezan al-I\u2019tidal (1\/184) it says: Ibn Hibban said: This hadeeth is not acceptable. Al-Daraqutni said: He is a liar whose hadeeth are rejected (matrook). He narrated seriously wrong haadeeths from Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Jurayj and al-Thawri. End quote. Hence al-Dhahabi said in al-Talkhees: I think the report is fabricated (mawdoo\u2019). End quote. Ibn al-Jawzi said: This hadeeth is not saheeh (authentic), and the one who is accused is Ishaq. End quote. It was classed as da\u2019eef by al-\u2018Iraqi in Takhreej al-Ihya (2\/180). \r\n\r\n(ii)\r\n\r\nFrom Abu\u2019l-\u2018Aliyah from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him). \r\n\r\nThis was narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu\u2019jam al-Awsat (7\/270) and al-Sagheer (2\/131), and from him by Abu Nu\u2019aym in Akhbar Isbahan (5\/252), via \u2018Abd-Allah ibn Abi Ja\u2019far al-Razi, from his father, from al-Rabee\u2019, from Abu\u2019l-\u2018Aliyah. Al-Tabarani said: He only narrated this hadeeth from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) with this isnad, and \u2018Abd-Allah ibn Abi Ja\u2019far al-Razi was the only one who narrated it. \r\n\r\nThis isnad is da\u2019eef and munkar. \r\n\r\nThe narration of \u2018Abd-Allah from Abu Ja\u2019far is dubious and not acceptable.  \r\n\r\nSee the biography of \u2018Abd-Allah ibn Abi Ja\u2019far in Tahdheeb al-Tahdheeb (12\/57) and (5\/177). \r\n\r\nIt has a third isnad that was mentioned by al-Suyooti in al-La a li\u2019 al-Masnoo\u2019ah (2\/266). Its isnad was classed as da\u2019eef jiddan (very weak) by al-Shaykh al-Albani, because of the dubious narrators it contains as well as some unknown narrators. \r\n\r\n-2-\r\n\r\nIt was narrated from \u2018Abd-Allah ibn Mas\u2019ood (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: \r\n\r\n\u201cWhoever starts his day caring about something other than Allah has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them.\u201d \r\n\r\nNarrated by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak (4\/356) and Abu \u2018Abd-Allah al-Daqqaq in Majlis Imla fi Ruyat Allah (no. 396) and Ibn Bashran in al-Amali (no. 395). \r\n\r\nVia Ishaq ibn Bishr, Muqatil ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Hammad, from Ibraheem, from \u2018Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Mas\u2019ood (may Allah be pleased with him) in a marfoo\u2019 report (one attributed to the Prophet). \r\n\r\nThis isnad is also munkar. \r\n\r\nWe have mentioned above the scholars\u2019 comments about Ishaq ibn Bishr. Hence al-Dhahabi said in Talkhees al-Mustadrak: Ishaq and Muqatil are not thiqah (trustworthy) and not honest. \r\n\r\n-3-\r\n\r\nIt was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: \r\n\r\n\u201cThe one who starts his day with his main concern being worldly affairs has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them, and whoever willingly accepts humiliation without being forced is not one of us.\u201d \r\n\r\nThis was narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu\u2019jam al-Awsat (1\/29) via Yazeed ibn Rabee\u2019ah, from Abu\u2019l-Ash\u2019ath al-San\u2019ani from Abu \u2018Uthman al-Nahdi, from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: It was narrated only by Yazeed ibn Rabee\u2019ah. \r\n\r\nThis isnad is also munkar. \r\n\r\nIt includes Yazeed ibn Rabee\u2019ah al-Rahbi, of whom al-Bukhari said: His haadeeths are munkar (denounced). Al-Nasai said: He is matrook (rejected). See Meezan al-I\u2019tidal (4\/422). It was also classed as da\u2019eef by al-Haythami in Majma\u2019 al-Zawaid (10\/433) and by al-\u2018Iraqi in Takhreej al-Ihya (2\/180). \r\n\r\n-4- \r\n\r\nIt was narrated from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:\r\n\r\n\u201cWhoever starts his day caring about something other than Allah has nothing to do with Allah, and whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them.\u201d \r\n\r\nNarrated by Ibn \u2018Adiyy in al-Kamil (7\/67) and al-Bayhaqi in Shu\u2019ab al-Eeman (7\/361) via Wahb ibn Rashid, Farqad al-Subkhi narrated to us, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). \r\n\r\nThis includes Wahb ibn Rashid, of whom al-Daraqutni said: He is matrook. Ibn Hibban said: It is not permissible to quote it as evidence. Meezan al-I\u2019tidal (4\/352). Al-Bayhaqi said: Its isnad is da\u2019eef. It also includes Farqad al-Subkhi who is da\u2019eef al-hadeeth and makes a lot of mistakes. \r\n\r\nTo conclude: the isnads of this hadeeth are all very weak (da\u2019eef), and are not supported by the fact that there are many of them. So it is not permissible to attribute the hadeeth to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The hadeeth was classed as da\u2019eef in all its isnads by al-Shaykh al-Albani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (no. 309-312). \r\n\r\nBut there is no need for it because there is a great deal of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah which calls on Muslims to love one another and show compassion towards one another, and states that brothers in faith must take care of one another. For example, Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): \r\n\r\n\u201cThe believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.\u201d\r\n\r\n[al-Hujurat 49:10] \r\n\r\nAnd the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:\u201cThe likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of the body; when one part of it is in pain, the rest of the body joins it in restlessness and fever.\u201d Narrated by al-Bukhari (6011) and Muslim (2586). \r\n\r\nAnd Allah knows best.\r\n\r\nIslam Q&A","status":1,"created_at":"2014-10-28T20:51:56.000000Z","updated_at":"2014-10-28T20:51:56.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":32,"parent_id":7788,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"\u0627\u0644\u0623\u062d\u0627\u062f\u064a\u062b \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0639\u064a\u0641\u0629","category_slug":"","get_date":"2014-10-28"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/7789"}
