[9] Still Waiting! Where’s The Clear, Unambiguous, Knowledge-Based Shariah Proof for the Tabdee

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan: (whose narrations attest to each other) Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya (treaty), and when they proceeded for a distance, he said, “Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the cavalry of Quraish constituting the front of the army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the right.” By Allah, Khalid did not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the dust arising from the march of the Muslim army reached him, and then he turned back hurriedly to inform Quraish. The Prophet went on advancing till he reached the Thaniya (i.e. a mountainous way) through which one would go to them (i.e. people of Quraish). The she-camel of the Prophet sat down. The people tried their best to cause the she-camel to get up but in vain, so they said, “Al-Qaswa’ (i.e. the she-camel’s name) has become stubborn! Al-Qaswa’ has become stubborn!” The Prophet said, “Al-Qaswa’ has not become stubborn, for stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped by Him Who stopped the elephant.”

Imam Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymin, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated:

إن البهائم تمدح على مكارم الأخلاق، فإن ناقة النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام في غزوة الحديبية لما بركت وخلأت أبت أن تستمر في السير إلى مكة صاح الناس وقالوا خلأت القصواء خلأت القصواء يعني حرنت ووقفت فقال النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام: ( والله ما خلأت وما ذاك لها بخلق  دافع عنها ( وما ذاك لها بخلق ولكن حبسها حابس الفيل

Animals are praised for their good manners because when the Prophet’s She-camel – during the Battle of Al-Hudaybiyah- refused to continue walking to Makkah, the people shouted “Al-Qaswa has become stubborn! Al-Qaswa has become stubborn!” The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, “By Allah! She has not become stubborn because stubbornness is not her character”. He defended her (saying), “But she was stopped by Him (i.e. Allah) Who stopped the elephant (i.e. the elephant amongst Abraha’s army that came to destroy the Kabah)”. [1]

The simple reason behind these posts is to assist – by the Tawfiq of Allah – those who are deluded to gradually come to terms with reality in the simplest way possible, allowing them to break free from the grip of those who declare Tabdi without evidence. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, defended a she-camel when her character was inaccurately described, revealing that the reality was different from what was said.

So, what about defending the character of a Muslim – a Salafi?! The creed, methodology, and character of Shaikh Abu Iyaad, may Allah protect him, is well-known for over thirty years. Yet, suddenly, someone issues a repugnant and false judgement of Tabdee, then his diehard supporters think that they can overcome us, while being unaware that we have not been nurtured – on any occasion – to be passive, submissive, or cowardly in the face of overbearing characters. Therefore, we pay no attention to name-dropping, or the loud supporters of this or that person; our only concern is to defend a Muslim based on truth. So, we ask again: Where is the clear, unambiguous, knowledge-based proof for the Tabdee against Shaikh Abu Iyaad?
