Ibn Abee Haatim(.328H) Rahimahullaah said:

”I entered Damascus and came upon the students of hadeeth, and I passed by the circle of Qaasim al Joo’ee(d.248 AH). I found a  group sitting around him and he was speaking. Their appearance amazed me; and I heard him saying:

”Seize The Benefit Of Five Things From The People Of Your Time:

  1. When you are present, you are not known;
  2. When you are absent you are not missed;
  3. When you are seen, your advice is not sought;
  4. When you say something, your saying is not accepted;
  5. And when you have some knowledge, you are not given anything for it.

I Also Advise You With Five Matters:

  1. When you are treated unjustly, do not behave unjustly;
  2. When you are praised, do not become happy;
  3. When you are criticised, do not become upset;
  4. When you are not believed, do not become angry;
  5. And if people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully towards them.”

Ibn Abee Haatim said: ”So I took that as my benefit from Damascus.”

Question:

وهل يجب على الخطيب التَّكلم على بعض الأمور التي تقع في البلاد مثل الأمور السياسية وغيرها؟

Answer:

الأمور السياسية ليست من شَأْنِنا، هي من شأن ولاة الأمور، ولهذا يُشَنِّع أهل العلم

وأحفظ – كما بلغني-

عن الشيخ محمد الأمين الشنقيطي – رحمه الله- يقول

“السياسة بنت كلب”

أنا أقول من وَلَجَ السِّياسة ضاع وأضاع، وهذا يُسْتَنْبَطُ أيضًا من قوله تعالى

وَإِذَا جَاءَهُمْ أَمْرٌ مِّنَ الْأَمْنِ أَوِ الْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُوا بِهِ ۖ وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَنبِطُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ

وهذه الآية – وإن كانت لها سببٌ خاص كما في صحيح مسلم له قِصَّة نختصرها الآن-

إلَّا أنها عامَّة، والعبرةُ بعموم اللَّفظ لا بخصوص السَّبب، فيُرد هذا إلى أهل السِّياسة؛ الحُكَّام، هذا أمر.

والأمر الآخر؛ الكلام في السِّياسة يؤدّي إلى التحريض على الخروج، إلى تحريض الخوارج، وإشاعة الفوضى، وزعزعة الأمن في البلاد والعباد، فيجبُ تَرْكُها، فيتلخَّص أنَّ كل أمر يُرَدُّ إلى أهلهِ، فالأمور الشرعية تُرَدُّ إلى أهل الشَّرع الرَّاسخين في العلم الشَّرعي، أهل السُّنة والجماعة، وأمور السِّياسة تُرَدُّ إلى أهل السِّياسة، فليس لِكُلِّ شخصٍ أن يَتَحَدَّث في كُلِّ أمر أبدًا، والتفصيل كما ذكرتُ لكم آنِفا. نعم

[نعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم]-What type of intoxication is this?!

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

لَعَمۡرُكَ إِنَّہُمۡ لَفِى سَكۡرَتِہِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ

”Verily, by your life (O Muhammad), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly.”[1]

This wild intoxication is an intoxication with love of lewd acts, which (made) them neither heedful of rebuke nor blame. [2]

Haughtiness and supporting error—Imaam Ibn Battah

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Scholars of Islam.

Imaam Ibn Battah (rahimahullaah) said:

Whoever heard the truth and rejects it after having knowledge of it, then he is from those who are haughty towards Allaah. And whoever supports error, then he is from the party of shaytaan. [Al-Ibaanah: 2/54]

Narrated Abu Musa (radiyallaahu-anhu): Two men of my tribe and I entered upon the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). One of the two men said to the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam): ‘O Messenger of Allah, appoint me as a governor,’ and so did the second one. The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: [إِنَّا لَا نُوَلِّي هَذَا مَنْ سَأَلَهُ وَلَا مَنْ حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ] We do not assign the authority of ruling to those who ask for it, nor to those who are keen to have it.’’
