{"fatawa":{"id":7923,"title":"Weak and fabricated ahaadeeth narrated by the Sufis","slug":"weak-and-fabricated-ahaadeeth-narrated-by-the-sufis","order":"","question":"Is this hadeeth which is mentioned by the Sufis saheeh \u2013 \u201cMy heaven and my earth could not contain Me, but the heart of My believing slave contains Me\u201d?","answer":"Praise be to Allaah.\r\n\r\nShaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah was asked about the words which were narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), \u201cMy heaven and my earth could not contain Me, but the heart of My believing slave contains Me\u201d?\r\n\r\n He replied: \r\n\r\nPraise be to Allaah. \r\n\r\nWhat they mentioned is from the Israa\u2019eeliyyaat [reports narrated from Jewish sources], no isnaad is known for it from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). What it means is that Allaah puts love and knowledge of Himself in the heart of His slave. \r\n\r\nThe report, \u201cThe heart is the house of the Lord\u201d is like the first report. The heart is the home or seat of faith in Allaah and of knowledge and love of Him.\r\n\r\n They reported the words, \u201cI was an unknown treasure and I wanted to be known, so I created mankind and taught them about Myself so that they would know Me.\u201d These are not the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and I know of no isnaad for this, either saheeh (sound) or da\u2019eef (weak). \r\n\r\nThey reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: \u201cAllaah created reason, and said to it, \u2018Come here,\u2019 and it came. He said to it, \u2018Go there,\u2019 and it went. He said, \u2018By My Glory and Majesty, I have not created anything more noble than you. I shall reward and punish because of you.\u2019\u201d This hadeeth is baatil (false) and mawdoo\u2019 (fabricated) according to the consensus of hadeeth scholars. \r\n\r\nThey narrate the words, \u201cLove of this world is the root of all evil.\u201d This is known from Jundub ibn \u2018Abd-Allaah al-Bajali, but there is no known isnaad from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). \r\n\r\nThey report the words, \u201cThis world is merely a step for the believing man.\u201d This is not known from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or from the salaf of this ummah or its imams. \r\n\r\nThey report the words, \u201cWhoever is blessed with a thing, let him stick with it\u201d and, \u201cWhoever commits himself to something, let him stick with it.\u201d The first report was narrated from one of the salaf. The second report is baatil (false), for whoever commits himself to something may have to stick to it or he may not, according to what Allaah and His Messenger have commanded. \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cDo favours for the poor, for tomorrow they will have authority, and what authority!\u201d and, \u201cPoverty is my pride and I boast of it.\u201d Both of these are lies and are not known in any way in the well known books of the Muslims. \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: \u201cI am the city of knowledge and \u2018Ali is its gate.\u201d This hadeeth is da\u2019eef (weak); indeed it is mawdoo\u2019 (fabricated) according to the scholars of hadeeth. It was narrated by al-Tirmidhi and others, but it is a lie. \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cThe poor will sit down on the Day of Resurrection, and [Allaah] will say, \u2018By My Glory and Majesty, I did not deprive you of worldly things because you are insignificant. Rather I wanted to raise your status on this Day. Go to the place where the people are standing, and whoever gave you a piece of bread, or water to drink, or clothes to wear, take him to Paradise.\u2019\u201d The shaykh said: this report is a lie which was not narrated by any of the scholars of hadeeth. It is baatil (false) and goes against the Qur\u2019aan and Sunnah and scholarly consensus (ijmaa\u2019). \r\n\r\nThey report that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah, the daughters of al-Najjaar came out with daffs (hand-drums) and sang \u201cTala\u2019a al-Badru \u2018alayna min thaniyyat al-Widaa\u201d, and the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to them, \u201cShake your tambourines, may Allaah bless you.\u201d The hadeeth about women beating the daff on joyous occasions is saheeh, and this was done at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but it is not known that he said, \u201cShake your tambourines.\u201d \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cO Allaah, You have brought me out of the place which is most beloved to me, so cause me to dwell in the place which is most beloved to You.\u201d This hadeeth is also baatil (false), although it was narrated by al-Tirmidhi and others. Rather he said to Makkah, \u201cYou are the most beloved part of Allaah\u2019s land to me.\u201d And he said, \u201cYou are the most beloved land to Allaah.\u201d \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: \u201cWhoever visits me and my father Ibraaheem in one year will enter Paradise.\u201d This is a fabricated lie which was not narrated by any of the scholars of hadeeth. \r\n\r\nThey report that a Bedouin prayed (quickly), pecking (like a bird) in his prayer. \u2018Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, \u201cDo not peck in your prayer.\u201d The Bedouin said, \u201cO \u2018Ali, if your father had pecked in prayer he would not have entered Hell.\u201d This is a lie. \r\n\r\nThey report that \u2018Umar killed his father. This is a lie, for his father died before the mission of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) began. \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cI was a Prophet when Adam was between the water and the clay. I was a Prophet when Adam was neither water nor clay.\u201d This wording is false. \r\n\r\nThey report the words, \u201cThe bed of a single man is fire. Poor is the man who has no woman and the woman who has no man.\u201d These are not the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). \r\n\r\nIt was narrated that when Ibraaheem (peace be upon him) built the Ka\u2019bah, he prayed one thousand rak\u2019ahs in each corner, then Allaah revealed to him, \u201cO Ibraaheem, this is not like feeding a hungry man or clothing a man who cannot cover his \u2018awrah.\u201d This is obviously a lie, and it is not known in the books of the Muslims. \r\n\r\nThey narrate the words, \u201cDo not despise tribulation, for it will reap the hypocrites.\u201d These words are not known from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). \r\n\r\nThey narrate the words, \u201cWhoever teaches his brother an aayah from the Book of Allaah becomes his master.\u201d This is a lie which is not known at all in the books of the scholars. \r\n\r\nThey narrate that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cI looked at the sins of my ummah and I did not find any greater sin than that of one who learns an aayah then forgets it.\u201d If this hadeeth is saheeh, what is meant is forgetting in the sense of not reciting. The wording of the hadeeth is: \u201cAmong the sins of my ummah is that of a man to whom Allaah gave an aayah of the Qur\u2019aan, but he neglected it until he forgot it.\u201d  This forgetting means turning away from the Qur\u2019aan and not believing in it or acting upon it. With regard to neglecting to study it until one forgets it, this is a sin. \r\n\r\nThey report the words, \u201cOne aayah of the Qur\u2019aan is better than Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. The Qur\u2019aan is the word of Allaah, revealed not created, and there is nothing like it.\u201d This wording was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: \u201cWhoever learns something beneficial and conceals it from the Muslims, Allaah will bridle him with reins of fire on the Day of Resurrection.\u201d A similar meaning is to be found in al-Sunan: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cWhoever is asked about a matter of [Islamic] knowledge which he knows but he conceals it, Allaah will bridle him with reins of fire on the Day of Resurrection.\u201d \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cWhen you come to talk about disputes which took place among my companions, be quiet. When you come to talk about the Divine will and decree (al-qadaa\u2019 wa\u2019l-qadar), keep quiet.\u201d This was reported with munqati\u2019 (broken or interrupted) isnaads. \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Salmaan al-Farsi when he was eating grapes, \u201cDu, du,\u201d meaning eat them two by two. These are not the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); this is baatil (false). \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cWhoever commits zina (fornication) with a woman and she gives birth to a girl, the fornicator may marry his daughter who was born as a result of zina.\u201d This was said by those who were not among the companions of al-Shaafa\u2019i. Some of them attributed it to al-Shaafa\u2019i, and some of the companions of al-Shaafa\u2019i denied that he said that. They said, he did not state that this is permitted, but he did state that this is permissible in the case of radaa\u2019ah (breastfeeding), if he breastfed from the milk of a woman who got pregnant as a result of zina. Most of the scholars, such as Ahmad, Abu Haneefah and others, are agreed that this is haraam, and this is the stronger of the two opinions narrated in the madhhab of Maalik. \r\n\r\nThey report the words, \u201cthe most deserving thing for which you take payment is the Book of Allaah.\u201d Yes, it is proven that [the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] said, \u201cThe most deserving thing for which you take payment is the Book of Allaah,\u201d but that was in the hadeeth about ruqyah (reciting Qur\u2019aan and du\u2019aa\u2019s for the purpose of healing), and the reward was for the recovery of that sick person, not for the recitation. \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, \u201cWhoever mistreats a dhimmi (a Jew or Christian living under Islamic rule), Allaah will be his opponent on the Day of Resurrection\u201d or \u201cI will be his opponent on the Day of Resurrection.\u201d This is da\u2019eef (weak). What is known from him is that he said: \u201cWhoever kills a mu\u2019aahid (member of a kaafir nation which has a peace treaty with the Muslims) for no lawful reason will not smell the fragrance of Paradise.\u201d \r\n\r\nThey report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: \u201cWhoever lights a lamp in the mosque, the angels and the bearers of the Throne will not cease to pray for forgiveness for him so long as the light of that lamp is shining in the mosque.\u201d I know of no isnaad for this from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). \r\n\r\nAl-Fataawa al-Kubra, 5\/88-93","status":1,"created_at":"2014-10-29T20:51:56.000000Z","updated_at":"2014-10-29T20:51:56.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":32,"parent_id":7922,"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":"2014-10-29"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/7923"}
