Question

Are there Hadiths about Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhum) specifically preventing women from going to the masjid? I have always come across the following Hadith in relation to this issue:

“Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) said:

‘If the Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) was alive to see what women are doing now, he would surely have prevented them from attending the prayers in the masjid just as the women of Banu Isra’il were prevented.’”

The above provides the reason. It doesn’t specifically mention Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhum) preventing the women though. Read More »

Question

Should one abide to this rule when reading Hadiths?

خطأ شائع بين الطلاب: قراءة همزة القطع في موضع الوصل

قال العلامة ابن الحاجب صاحب الكافية في كتابه ‘الشافية’ و إثباتها أي همزة الوصل وصلا لحن اهـ

‘وقال الملا علي القاري رحمه الله في ‘مرقاة المفاتيح

  وعنه أي عن أبي قتادة قال: سئل رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – عن صوم الاثنين أي يومه هو بهمزة الوصل وإنما نبهت عليه وإن كان ظاهرا لأن كثيرا من أهل الفضل يقرءونه بقطع الوصل ، ولا يعرف الفصل بين الوقف والوصل بل ولا يدري كيفية الابتداء مع ادعائه الانتماء إلى الانتهاء اهـ

اﻷلفاظ التي يخطأ الطلاب فيها خصوصا إذا كانت معرفة باللام

ابن ابنة اثنان اثنتان امرؤ امرأة اسم

الافتعال الاستفعال الانفعال الافعلال الافعيلال الافعيعال الافعوّال الافعلّال الافعنلال

أهمية الاحتراز عن اللحن

‘روي الإمام البخاري رحمه الله في ‘اﻷدب المفرد’ عن نافع , قال: ‘كان ابن عمر رضي الله عنه يضرب ولده على اللحن”

‘…فقال عمر رضي الله عنه: ‘سوء اللحن أشد من سوء الرمي

‘وقال الملا علي القاري رحمه الله في ‘مرقاة المفاتيح

ولذا قال بعض المحققين: ولابد أيضا من مراعاة القواعد النحوية ومحافظة المخارج والصفات الحرفية

There is a Hadith which states Sayyiduna Abul Haytham ibn Tayhan (radiyallahu ‘anhu) presented to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and some Sahabah different types of dates. Thereafter he slaughtered an animal and served the meat to them.

Question

I have heard that Ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) use to pretend to relieve himself, without having the need to do so, at a particular place just to imitate Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam). Is this correct?

I have come across the following narration, does it give the same meaning?

حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، أخبرنا عبد الملك، عن أنس بن سيرين، قال كنت مع ابن عمر بعرفات فلما كان حين راح رحت معه حتى أتى الإمام فصلى معه الأولى والعصر ثم وقف معه وأنا وأصحاب لي حتى أفاض الإمام فأفضنا معه حتى انتهينا إلى المضيق دون المأزمين فأناخ وأنخنا ونحن نحسب أنه يريد أن يصلي فقال غلامه الذي يمسك راحلته إنه ليس يريد الصلاة ولكنه ذكر أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لما انتهى إلى هذا المكان قضى حاجته فهو يحب أن يقضي حاجته
