96. Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah

٩٦۔ كتاب الاعتصام بالكتاب والسنة

96.26 The laws inferred from certain evidences; and the meaning of an evidence

٩٦۔٢٦ باب الأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي تُعْرَفُ بِالدَّلاَئِلِ، وَكَيْفَ مَعْنَى الدِّلاَلَةِ وَتَفْسِيرِهَا

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ informed about the matter of horses and others, then he was asked about mules, so he guided them to the saying of Allah: "So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it." He was asked about lizards, and he said: "I do not eat them nor prohibit them." A lizard was eaten from the Prophet's table ﷺ, so Ibn Abbas used it as evidence that it is not prohibited.

وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمْرَ الْخَيْلِ وَغَيْرِهَا، ثُمَّ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْحُمُرِ فَدَلَّهُمْ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ}. وَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ: «لاَ آكُلُهُ وَلاَ أُحَرِّمُهُ». وَأُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الضَّبُّ، فَاسْتَدَلَّ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِحَرَامٍ.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they may be a source of reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of protection; and for another, a source of sin. The man for whom they are a source of reward, is the one who keeps them for Allah's Cause and ties them with long ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat of that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for him and if they break their ropes and run one or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung will be written as good deeds for him, and if they pass a river and drink from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that will be written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of reward for that man. For the man who keeps horses for his livelihood in order not to ask others for help or beg his bread, and at the same time he does not forget Allah's right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that he presents it to be used in Allah's Cause), such horses are a shelter for him (from poverty). For the man who keeps them just out of pride and for showing off, they are a source of sin." Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about donkeys. He said, "Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them except this comprehensive Verse: "Then anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it, and any one who has done evil, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it." (99.7-8)

A woman asked the Prophet (Hadith 456). Narrated ʿAisha: A woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, "Take a perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it." She said,' "How shall I clean myself with it, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.

Um Hufaid bint Al-Harith bin Hazn presented the Prophet ﷺ with some butter, dried yoghurt (curd milk) and mastigures as a gift. The Prophet ﷺ then asked for a meal (mastigures etc. to be put) and it was eaten over his table cloth, but the Prophet ﷺ did not eat of it, as he had aversion to it. But if it had been illegal to eat, it would not have been eaten over his table cloth nor would he have ordered that (mastigures meat) to be eaten.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should keep away from our mosque and should stay at home." Ibn Wahb said, "Once a plate full of cooked vegetables was brought to the Prophet ﷺ at Badr. Detecting a bad smell from it, he asked about the dish and was informed of the kinds of vegetables in contained. He then said, "Bring it near," and so it was brought near to one of his companions who was with him. When the Prophet ﷺ saw it, he disliked eating it and said (to his companion), "Eat, for I talk in secret to ones whom you do not talk to."

A lady came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she talked to him about something, and he gave her some order. She said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If I should not find you?" He said, "If you should not find me, then go to Abu Bakr." Ibrahim bin Saʿd said, "As if she meant the death (of the Prophet).
