Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

An deed that is not in harmony with the religion is rejected

muslim:1718bIsḥāq b. Ibrāhīm And ʿAbd b. Ḥumayd > Abū ʿĀmir > ʿAbd > ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿAmr > ʿAbdullāh b. Jaʿfar al-Zuhrī > Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm > Saʾalt al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad

I asked al-Qasim b. Muhammad about a man who has three dwellings and bequeathed one third of each dwelling. He said: All of that is combined into a single dwelling. Then he said: Aishah told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever does a deed that is not in accordance with our command, it is rejected.”

مسلم:١٧١٨bوَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ قَالَ عَبْدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةُ مَسَاكِنَ فَأَوْصَى بِثُلُثِ كُلِّ مَسْكَنٍ مِنْهَا قَالَ: يُجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ فِي مَسْكَنٍ وَاحِدٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلاً لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ».
