Kitaab An-Nikaah, Saheeh Bukhaari Vol: 7; Hadith Number:5065

 Chapter: The Statement of the Prophet (sallal’laahu’alayhi’wasallam)

‘Whoever is able to marry, should marry, for that will help him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.).’  And should a person marry (even if) he has no desire for marriage?

Narrated ‘Alqamah: while I was with Abdullaah, uthman met him at Mina and said, ‘O Abu Abdur-Rahmaan! I have something to say to you.’ So both of them went aside and uthmaan said, ‘O Abu Abdur-Rahmaan!  Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days?  When Abdullaah felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, ‘O Alqamah’  Then I heard him saying (in reply to uthmaan), ‘As you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) once said to us, ‘O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to observe fast as fasting will diminish his sexual power’.

Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) stated:

Therefore, to get marriage is the correct (thing to do) as a complete obligation upon the one who has shahwa (sexual desires) even if he is not in fear of falling to Zinaa.  This is with regards to the one whose situation allows him to get married.  And in this is a (manifestation) of Uthman’s righteous moral conduct.  It (shows) that the elderly person can get married as long as he has the strength for sexual relations. And the main address (in this hadith) is directed at the young people because in most cases they possess stronger desires and are more in need of that (i.e. fulfilment of such desires).

Reciting The Quraan Makes Your Affairs Easy

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Articles, Qur'aan, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Al-haafith Ad-Diyaa’ said concerning Ibrahim Ibn ‘Abdil-Wahid Al-Maqdisi: He advised me at the time I travelled [for seeking knowledge]

“Increase in recitation of the Quran and do not leave it. For indeed whatever you seek will be facilitated for you proportionate to what you recite.”

Al-haafith Ad-Diyaa’ then said:

I saw that and experienced it many times. If I recited a lot, then listening to hadith and writing a great deal of it down would become easy. When I didn’t recite, that wouldn’t become easy for me.

It was said to Abu Haazim (rahimahullaah), “What is closeness? (i.e. a close relationship between two people?); he said, “Strong love (for one another).” Then he was asked, “What is the sweetness (of this strong love)? He said, “To be in agreement (i.e. to agree on what is right and agree in rejecting what is wrong). Then it was said to him, “What is relaxation?” He said, “Paradise.”

The Imaam Rabee bin Haadi Al Madkhalee – May Allah preserve him – reported that many of the Salaf said:

“Verily the people of innovation are more harmful to islaam than the external enemies, why? Because they destroy from the inside, and afterwards they open the door to the enemies and say “Enter!”

Death Is an Honour for Every Muslim Who Dies Upon the Authentic Sunnah’ By Ibnul Mubaarak

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Imaam Ibnul Mubaarak (rahimahullaah) said: Know O my brother that indeed death is an honour for every Muslim who meets Allaah whilst being upon the Sunnah, and truly to Allaah we belong and truly to Him we shall return. And to Allaah do we complain about our loneliness, the passing away of the brothers, the scarcity of helpers and the emergence of bidah. And to Allaah do we complain about the magnitude of what has occurred to this Ummah due to the passing away of the scholars and Ahlus Sunnah, and the emergence of bidah. And I say as Ibraaheem At-Taymiy said: “O Allaah! Protect me through your religion and the Sunnah of your Prophet. (Protect me) from differing about truth; from following desires and the paths of misguidance and the Shubuhaat Al Umoor (i.e. those affairs that appear to be the truth but are falsehood in reality); from deviation and (blameworthy) argumentation.” [Al-I’tisaam pg57]

A Wise Way Through Which Umar Ibn Abdul-Azeez Tested a Particular Man’s Suitability for a Position of Authority

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) stated whilst discussing the subject matter of Imtihaan (i.e. testing):

‘’And likewise, when he (i.e. a person) desires to give someone a position of authority, he tests him (imtahanahu), just as Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez commanded his servant to test Ibn Abee Moosaa (yamtahinahu) when his mannerism amazed him (somewhat), so he said to him, “You know of my position with the Ameer ul-Mumineen, so how much will you give me if I indicate (the appropriateness) of your (being given) authority to him? So he gave him a great amount of wealth. And from this Umar knew that he was not fit for authority.” [http://www.thenoblequran.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=BDH05&articleID=BDH050015&articlePages=1

Story Telling -An Evil Affair That Grips Many during Times of Fitan, So Beware!

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) said:

There was neither story telling in the time of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) nor in the time of Abu Bakr (radiyallaahu-anhu), neither in the time of Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) nor in the time of Uthmaan (radiyallaahu-anhu); rather story telling started in the time of Fitan.” (i.e. during the times of trials and tribulations).
