Question

Wanted to know regarding this saying of Sufyan Thawri (rahimahullah)

إذا ختم الرجل القرآن قبل الملك بين عينيه

‘When a man completes the Quran, an angel kisses him between his eyes.’

The kissing of the angel is a thing which cannot be perceived through understanding, but it has not been attributed to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

1. Can this be regarded as a mursal of a Tabi’?
2. If so, can it be regarded Hukman marfu’?
3. If not, can it be regarded as a kashf of Sufyan Thawri? As it has been termed as ‘min mukhabbati Sufyan’ by Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah).
4. Is it suitable to quote?

Question

There is a Hadith in which the Prophet (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) got angry on those who didn’t come to pray in the masjid.

From this Hadith some scholars say it is obligatory to pray in congregation.

Even Imam Bukhari said obligatory. Imam Muslim said it is fard kifayah.

What is the answer to this?

Question

With regard to this post on what to recite when hearing a sneeze:

I have come across a similar narration in Al Hisnul Hasin, which doesn’t have the word ‘سمعها’ [i.e. The Hadith would then mean a person should recite this du’a when sneezing and not when hearing a sneeze]. Is this narration correct?

Will the Hadith then have two possible meanings, i.e. A person should recite this when he sneezes or hears a sneeze?

Question

I know the majority of scholars accept weak Hadiths for virtues bearing in mind certain conditions. However my question is regarding why weak Hadiths are also used for those things which are not related to virtues. I am confused regarding the wiping of the face after prayer, from what I have been informed is there are many weak Hadiths on the issue, however the wiping of the face isn’t virtuous.

So why would weak Hadiths be accepted in this example and others like it. Could you also direct me to any books where this is clarified.
