95.1 Acceptance of the information given by one truthful person in about all matters

٩٥۔١ بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي إِجَازَةِ خَبَرِ الْوَاحِدِ الصَّدُوقِ فِي الأَذَانِ وَالصَّلاَةِ وَالصَّوْمِ وَالْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ

[Machine] And the saying of Allah, exalted be He: "{So why was there not among the believers a group [of people] who would arise [to warn] and study their religion and [tell] their people when they return to them that they might be cautious?}" And a man is called a group, for His saying, exalted be He: "{And if two factions among the believers should fight...}". So if two men were to fight, it would fall within the meaning of the verse. And His saying, exalted be He: "{If a corrupt person comes to you with news, inquire [carefully]...}". And how did the Prophet, peace be upon him, send his leaders one after another? If one of them made a mistake, he would be returned to the Prophetic teachings.

وَقَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {فَلَوْلاَ نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِنْهُمْ طَائِفَةٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ وَلِيُنْذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ}. وَيُسَمَّى الرَّجُلُ طَائِفَةً لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا}. فَلَوِ اقْتَتَلَ رَجُلاَنِ دَخَلَ فِي مَعْنَى الآيَةِ. وَقَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا}. وَكَيْفَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُمَرَاءَهُ وَاحِدًا بَعْدَ وَاحِدٍ، فَإِنْ سَهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ رُدَّ إِلَى السُّنَّةِ.

We came to the Prophet ﷺ and we were young men nearly of equal ages and we stayed with him for twenty nights. Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a very kind man and when he realized our longing for our families, he asked us about those whom we had left behind. When we informed him, he said, "Go back to your families and stay with them and teach them (religion) and order them (to do good deeds). The Prophet ﷺ mentioned things some of which I remembered and some I did not. Then he said, "Pray as you have seen me praying, and when it is the time of prayer, one of you should pronounce the call (Adhan) for the prayer and the eldest of you should lead the prayer. "

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The (call for prayer) Adhan of Bilal should not stop anyone of you from taking his Suhur for he pronounces the Adhan in order that whoever among you is praying the night prayer, may return (to eat his Suhur) and whoever among you is sleeping, may get up, for it is not yet dawn (when it is like this)." (Yahya, the sub-narrator stretched his two index fingers side ways).

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived at Medina, he prayed facing Jerusalem for sixteen or seventeen months but he wished that he would be ordered to face the Kaʿba. So Allah revealed: -- 'Verily! We have seen the turning of your face towards the heaven; surely we shall turn you to a prayer direction (Qibla) that shall please you.' (2.144) Thus he was directed towards the Kaʿba. A man prayed the ʿAsr prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and then went out, and passing by some people from the Ansar, he said, "I testify. that I have prayed with the Prophet ﷺ and he (the Prophet) has prayed facing the Kaʿba." Thereupon they, who were bowing in the ʿAsr prayer, turned towards the Kaʿba.

Then his opponent got up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He has said the truth! Settle his case according to Allah's Book (Laws.) and allow me to speak," He said, "My son was a laborer for this man and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that my son should be stoned to death but I ransomed him with one-hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious learned people and they told me that his wife should be stoned to death and my son should receive one-hundred lashes and be sentenced to one year of exile.' The Prophet ﷺ said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, I will judge between you according to Allah's Book (Laws): As for the slave girl and the sheep, they are to be returned; and as for your son, he shall receive onehundred lashes and will be exiled for one year.

The Prophet ﷺ entered a garden and told me to guard its gate. Then a man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet, said, "Permit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise." Behold! It was Abu Bakr. Then ʿUmar came, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Admit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise." Then ʿUthman came and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Admit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise. "

When the delegate of ʿAbd Al-Qais came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "Who are the delegate?" They said, "The delegate are from the tribe of Rabiʿa." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Welcome, O the delegate, and welcome! O people! Neither you will have any disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Between you and us there are the infidels of the tribe of Mudar, so please order us to do something good (religious deeds) that by acting on them we may enter Paradise, and that we may inform (our people) whom we have left behind, about it." They also asked (the Prophet) about drinks. He forbade them from four things and ordered them to do four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah, and asked them, "Do you know what is meant by belief in Allah?" They said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He said, ''To testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, the One, Who has no partners with Him, and that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ; and to offer prayers perfectly and to pay Zakat." (the narrator thinks that fasting in Ramadan is included), "and to give one-fifth of the war booty (to the state)." Then he forbade four (drinking utensils): Ad-Duba', Al56 Hantam, Al-Mazaffat and An-Naqir, or probably, Al-Muqaiyar. And then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Remember all these things by heart and preach it to those whom you have left behind."

Ash-'Shuʿbi asked me, "Did you notice how Al-Hasan used to narrate Hadiths from the Prophets? I stayed with Ibn ʿUmar for about two or one-and-half years and I did not hear him narrating any thing from the Prophet ﷺ except his (Hadith): He (Ibn ʿUmar) said, "Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ including Saʿd, were going to eat meat, but one of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ called them, saying, 'It is the meat of a Mastigure.' The people then stopped eating it. On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Carry on eating, for it is lawful.' Or said, 'There is no harm in eating it, but it is not from my meals."
