30. Giving Life to the Dead Land
٣٠۔ كِتَابُ إِحْيَاءِ الْمَوَاتِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no contagious disease except for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ ." And it has reached us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prevented the spread of plague. And it has also reached us that Umar ibn Al-Khattab prevented the spread of leprosy. This is the wording of the hadith of Ubaid.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ قَالَ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَمَى النَّقِيعَ وَأَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حَمَى الشَّرَفَ وَالرَّبَذَةَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدٍ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There is no protection (i.e. security) except for Allah and His Messenger." Az-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "It is known that 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab had a fever, and it reached me that he used to protect him for the sake of the charity camels."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَدْ كَانَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ حِمًى بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْمِيهِ لِإبلِ الصَّدَقَةِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the practice of burying newborn girls alive and said, "There is no protection except by Allah and His Messenger." Al-Bukhari said, "This is a false claim." The Sheikh said, "Because his statement about forbidding the practice of burying newborn girls alive is not from the saying of Al-Zuhri, and the same was said by Ibn Abi Al-Zinad from Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Harith."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَمَى النَّقِيعَ وَقَالَ لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ هَذَا وَهْمٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ لِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ حَمَى النَّقِيعَ مِنْ قَوْلِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prohibited cutting the forelocks of the horses owned by Muslim men that they use for grazing.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَمَى النَّقِيعَ لِخَيْلِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ تَرْعَى فِيهِ
عَنْ مَالِكٍ
[Machine] That they should come to him and they came to him and said to him, "Call upon the Qur'an and open the seventh (chapter)." And they used to call it the seventh chapter of Surah Yunus. So he recited it until he reached this verse {Have you seen what Allah has sent down to you of provision and made some of it unlawful and some lawful? Say, "Has Allah permitted you [to do so], or do you invent [something] about Allah?"} They said to him, "Stop, have you seen what you have forbidden from the forbidden things, has Allah permitted you or are you inventing?" So he said, "Continue, it was revealed regarding this and this. As for the forbidden things, indeed, Umar has forbidden them before me for the sake of the charity camels. When I became the ruler, the number of charity camels increased, so I increased the forbidden things for what was increased in charity."
أَنْ يَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ ادْعُ بِالْمُصْحَفِ وَافْتَحِ السَّابِعَةَ وَكَانُوا يُسَمُّونَ سُورَةَ يُونُسَ السَّابِعَةَ فَقَرَأَهَا حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ رِزْقٍ فَجَعَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ حَرَامًا وَحَلَالًا قُلْ آللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمْ أَمْ عَلَى اللهِ تَفْتَرَونَ} قَالُوا لَهُ قِفْ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا حَمَيْتَ مِنَ الْحِمَى آللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكَ أَمْ عَلَى اللهِ تَفْتَرِي؟ فَقَالَ امْضِهْ نَزَلَتْ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَمَّا الْحِمَى فَإِنَّ عُمَرَ حَمَى الْحِمَى قَبْلِي لِإبلِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَلَمَّا وُلِّيتُ زَادَتْ إِبِلُ الصَّدَقَةِ فَزِدْتُ فِي الْحِمَى لِمَا زَادَ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ
[Machine] I said, "I have purchased some camels and sent them to the pasture seeking what the Muslims seek." He (Umar ibn al-Khattab) said, "Take care of the camels of the son of the Commander of the Believers. Water the camels of the son of the Commander of the Believers, O Abdullah ibn Umar. Go with Malik to his share and leave the rest in the treasury of the Muslims." This narration indicates that besides the Prophet ﷺ , no one has the right to protect themselves, and it also indicates that the statement of the Prophet ﷺ , "There is no protection except from Allah and His Messenger," means that there is no protection except for the same one that His Messenger protected in the welfare of the Muslims. And Allah knows best.
قُلْتُ إِبِلٌ أَنْضَاءُ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا وَبَعَثَتُ بِهَا إِلَى الْحِمَى أَبْتَغِي مَا يَبْتَغِي الْمُسْلِمُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ ارْعَوْا إِبِلَ ابنِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اسْقُوا إِبِلَ ابْنِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ اغْدُ عَلَى رَأْسِ مَالِكَ وَاجْعَلْ بَاقِيَهُ فِي بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هَذَا الْأَثَرُ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ غَيْرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَحْمِيَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَفِيهِ وَفِيمَا قَبْلَهُ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَرَادَ بِهِ أَنْ لَا حِمَى إِلَّا عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا حَمَى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُهُ فِي صَلَاحِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
