The Particularity of the Beloved’s ﷺ Ummah being the Best and the Last of the Ummahs | Excerpts from Imām Jalāl al Dīn al Suyūṭī’s al Khaṣāʾiṣ al Kubrā

#TheSpringOfLight #Mawlid1443H Image
Allāh ﷻ said:
«You are the best community ever raised for humanity…» [3:110]
«And We have certainly made the Qurʾān easy to remember.» [54:17, 22, 32, 40]
«[It is Allāh] Who named you ‘the ones who submit’ (muslimīn)…» [22:78]

① It is narrated by Aḥmad, al Tirmidhī who…
…graded it as good (ḥasan), Ibn Mājah, and al Ḥākim, from Muʿāwiyah b. Ḥaydah who heard the Prophet ﷺ said pertaining to the verse «You are the best community ever raised for humanity…» [3:110]: “Verily, you completed seventy ummahs, you are the best and the most…
…honourable of them to Allāh.”

② Ibn Abī Ḥātim narrated from Ubayy b. Kaʿb who said: “There never was an ummah who embraced Islām as much as this ummah.” Then, he recited: «You are the best community ever raised for humanity…» [3:110]

③ Ibn Rāhūyah in his Musnad and…
…Ibn Abī Shaybah in his Muṣannaf narrated from Makḥūl who said: “ʿUmar had a right upon a Jewish man [to be fulfilled], so, he went seeking him and ʿUmar said: ‘By the One who has chosen Muḥammad upon humankind, I will not leave you [until I have my right fulfilled].”
The Jew replied: “By Allāh! Allāh did not chose Muḥammad upon humankind!” ʿUmar slapped him. Then, the Jew went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what had transpired, and he ﷺ said: ‘As for you, O ʿUmar! His (i.e. the Jew’s) dismissal [of the right] is from the slap that…
…he received. However, O Jew! Ādam is the Intimate of Allāh, Ibrāhīm the Close Friend of Allāh, Mūsā the Confidant of Allāh, ʿĪsā the Sprit of Allāh, and I am the Beloved of Allāh.

Rather, O Jew! Allāh named my Ummah with two names that He named Himself: He is the Peace…
…(al Salām) and He named my Ummah with it: the ones who submit (muslimīn). He is the Source of Serenity (al Muʾmin) and He named my Ummah with it: the believers (muʾminīn).

Rather, O Jew! You asked for a day [of Sabbath]; it is reserved for us this day (Jumuʿah), and for you…
…tomorrow (Saturday), and for the Christians the day after tomorrow (Sunday).

Rather, O Jew! You are the first ones and we are the last [but] the foremost on the Day of Judgement. Rather, the heavens are forbidden upon all prophets until I enter it, and it is forbidden…
…for all ummahs until my Ummah enters it.”

The Particularity of the Beloved’s ﷺ Ummah being Bestowed the Knowledge of the First and the Last, and the Opening of the Repositories of Knowledge upon Them | Excerpts from Imām Jalāl al Dīn al Suyūṭī’s al Khaṣāʾiṣ al Kubrā

They (i.e. the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ) were bestowed chains of transmission (isnād), genealogy (ansāb), grammatical analysis (iʿrāb), and the authoring of books. And their scholars are like the prophets of the children of Isrāʾīl.

Mentioned in a ḥadīth beforehand:
“I (i.e. Mūsā ʿalayhi ‘s-salām) found in the tablets: ‘A ummah that are given the knowledge of the first and of the last…’* in the chapter on his mentioning ﷺ in the Tawrāt and the Injīl.

Abū Zurʿah narrated in his Tārīkh from Shafīyy b. Mātiʿ al Aṣbaḥī who said:…

The Meeting of the Beloved ﷺ with al Khiḍr ʿalayhi ‘s-salām and ʿĪsā ʿalayhi ‘s-salām | Excerpts from Imām Jalāl al Dīn al Suyūṭī’s al Khaṣāʾiṣ al Kubrā

#TheSpringOfLight #Mawlid1443H
① Ibn ʿAdī and al Bayhaqī narrated from Kathīr b. ʿAbdiLlāh b. ʿAmr b. ʿAwf, from his father, from his grandfather who said: “The Emissary of Allāh ﷺ was in the mosque and heard a speech from behind him and the one who spoke said: ‘O Allāh, aid me with what will save me from…
…what You frightened me.’ The Emissary of Allāh ﷺ upon hearing that said: ‘Won’t you combine it with its counterpart?’ The man then said: ‘O Allāh, grant me the sustenance of the yearning of the pious for what You yearned for them.’ The Prophet ﷺ said to Anas:…

kerana disebutkan tentang isu memelihara anjing lagi, hamba nak memperjelaskan sesuatu yang disalahfahami oleh masyarakat melayu di sini.

keempat² madhhab sebenarnya sepakat mengharamkan membela anjing sebagai haiwan peliharaan (pet) melainkan untuk kerja memburu atau mengawal.
hatta madhhab Mālikī yang menganggap anjing itu suci seluruh badannya

Berkata Mālik al Ṣaghīr, Imām Ibn Zayd al Qayrawānī di dalam Risālahnya: Anjing itu tidak diambil masuk ke dalam rumah², kota², mahupun negeri² melainkan untuk berladang, mengembala, sebagai penjaga apabila…
…merentasi padang pasir, atau memburu untuk mata pencarian dan bukan untuk kesukaan.

Shaykh Dr. Shadee Elmasry ḥafidhahuLlāh mengedepankan kenyataan ini kerana mereka yang memelihara anjing dengan sesuka hati memetik qawl madhhab Imām Mālik meskipun ia tidak begitu.

Signs that Occurred upon the Veiling of Our Beloved’s ﷺ Mother raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā wa ʿalayhā ‘s-salām | Excerpts from Imām Jalāl al Dīn al Suyūṭī’s al Khaṣāʾiṣ al Kubrā

#TheSpringOfLight #Mawlid1443H
Abū Nuʿaym narrated from the path of al Zuhrī, from Umm Samāʿah bint Abī Ruhm, from her mother who said: “I saw Āminah, the mother of the Emissary of Allāh ﷺ, in her illness which she died from and Muḥammad ﷺ who was a growing boy—five years old—was at her head.
His mother gazed at his face and said:
‘May Allāh bless you, my boy.
O son, who from the fate of death,
was saved by the aid of the Benevolent Sovereign,
ransomed on the morning the arrows were drawn,
for a hundred tall camels.
If what I have seen in my dreams is true,

“The short and simple answer to your question is that: No, the Hanafi School does not, in any way, promote or encourage a marriage without the approval of one’s parents or a legal guardian (wali).

To elaborate: It is a common misconception that the Hanafi School unreservedly…
…allows a marriage without the consent of the woman’s parents or her guardian (wali).”

“Many Hanafi jurists (fuqaha) have pointed out that it is generally blameworthy and going against the Sunnah to marry without the consent of the Wali regardless of whether the spouse is…
…a legal match or otherwise due to the many Hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) emphasising the importance of having the approval of one’s guardian…”

“As such, this Hanafi position is merely a concession (rukhsa) which may be resorted to…

A Benefit on the Verses of Poetry of Ḥalīmah al Saʿdīyyah raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā | Excerpts from Imām Jalāl al Dīn al Suyūṭī’s al Khaṣāʾiṣ al Kubrā

#TheSpringOfLight #Mawlid1443H
Ibn al Ṭarrāḥ said: “I saw in al Tarqīṣ of Abū ʿAbdiLlāh Muḥammad b. al Muʿallā al Azdī that from the poetry of Ḥalīmah [al Saʿdīyyah]* when she was singing words of amusement to the Prophet ﷺ:

O Lord, when You grant him, You preserved him,
and raised him to lofty heights,
and refuted the falsehood of the enemies by his right.

* al Muḥaddith, Shaykh Nabīl bin Hāshim al Ghamrī Bā ʿAlawī: al Qasṭallānī in al Mawāhib al Ladunnīyyah concurred with the author on the attribution of the verses to Ḥalīmah al Saʿdīyyah. al Ḥāfidh [Ibn Ḥajar…
