Reflections from some statements of Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi al-Mad’khali [12 of 80]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah preserve him, stated:

Sulaymaan Ibn Dawud Al-Abbaasiy, may Allah have mercy upon him, was a pious scholar. [Imam] Ahmad, may Allah have mercy upon him, used to say about him, “He is fit for the khilaafah.” He (Sulayma) said, “It maybe that I narrate a single hadith with a sincere intention, but when I reach some of its (wording), my intention changes. Therefore, a single hadeeth requires (sincere) intentions.”

This is because Shaytan interferes. You speak about a hadith and transmit it to another person, then Shaytaan interferes and corrupts your intention (through) Riyaa and a desire to be heard, so that it is said, “So and so is a scholar, so and so is a haafidh.” Therefore, every hadith requires a (sincere) intention. You must always (earnestly pay attention to sincere) intention, so that your deed is (done) for the sake of Allah. [An Excerpt from “Marhaban Yaa Taalibal Ilm”. Page 259]

We ask Allah
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لا أَعْلَمُ

O Allah! I seek refuge in You lest I associate partners with You while I know, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know.” https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2024/10/07/more-hidden-than-the-creeping-of-an-ant/
