Proof that Ummah will do Shirk Proof 1 The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,"Surely, you will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, in everything as one arrow resembles another, (i.e. just like them), so much so that even if they entered a hole of a sand-lizard, you would enter it." They said, "O Allaahs Messenger! Do you mean to say that we will follow the Jews and the Christians?" He replied, "Whom else?" (By meaning the Jew and Christians)(Bukhari(Book #56, Hadith #662) and Muslim,Narrated Abu Sa'id, r.a). Comment: Prediction of Prophet is completed and now people are following Previous people and doing shirk Proof 2 Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Last Hour would not come until the women of the tribe of Daus would be seen going round Dhi al-Khalasa (for worship) (Sahih muslim Chapter 15 : THE LAST HOUR WOULD NOT COME UNTIL THE WOMEN OF THE TRIBE OF DAUS WOULD GO ROUND DHI AL-KHALASA Book 41, Number 6944) Imam Bukhari made whole chapter untill the worship of idols start" Proof 3 Prophet Peace be upon him said:... I am afraid about my community of those leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them assertinf that he is (Allah's) prophet, whereas I am the Seal of the Prophets after whom (me) there will be no prophet; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth - (according to Ibn 'Isa's version: (will continue to dominate) - the agreed version goes: "and will not be injured by those who oppose them, till Allah's command comes."(ABU DAWOOD, Book 30, Number 4239) It is also recorded by al-Barqani, in his authentic book of hadith, with the addition; "...But what I fear of my Ummah is deviant leaders, and when the sword occurs between them, it will not be removed until the Day of Resurrection. And the Hour will not occur until a tribe from my Ummah unites with the mushrikeen' and until a large group of my Ummah worships idols. There will be thirty liars in my Ummah; each of them claiming that he is a prophet. I am the finality of the prophets; there is no prophet after me. And a party of my Ummah shall remain victorious upon the truth, they will not be harmed by those who abandon them until Allah's (subhana wa ta'ala) decree comes to them." [Kitab at-Tawheed Chapter no: 21 What Has Been Said Concerning Those of This Ummah, Who Worship Idols] Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan said in his commentary Prophet (PBUH) stated that some of his nation would follow the polytheists and live in their homeland, and others would convert to polytheism, which has already come true as tombs, trees and stones have been worshiped........ At the end of this hadith Prophet (PBUH) gave glad tidings that despite all these calamities; a small communion of his nation would remain steadfast in their adherence to Islam

Mushriks invoked idols of pious people to get close to Allah

[039:003] Is it not to God that sincere devotion is due? But those who take for protectors other than God (say): "We only serve them in order that they may bring us nearer to God." Truly God will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But God guides not such as are false and ungrateful. [023:084] Say, 'To whom belongs the earth and whosoever is therein, if you know ?' [023:085] 'To ALLAH,' they will say. Say, 'Will you not then be admonished ?' [023:086] Say, 'Who is the Lord of the seven Heavens, and the Lord of the Great Throne ?' [023:087] They will say, 'They are ALLAH's.' Say, 'Will you not then take HIM as your Protector ?' [023:088] Say, 'In whose hand is the dominion of all things and who protects, but against Whom there is no protection, if you know ?' [023:089] They will say, 'All this belongs to ALLAH.' Say, 'How then are you being deluded ?' Comment: Mushriks did believe in Allah and in fact invoked Angles and idols of pious people like Lat. to get close to Allah, they were only means to seek Allah's proximity and they were not equating Allah and the idools. In Fath ul Majeed Page 36 to 38, Shaykh Abdul Rahman bin Hasan is discussing the meaning of Ilah, I.e we should not worship anyone but only Allah, and he quoted the statements of "Zamakhsharee" "Taibi" Ibne Tamiyah" In Ibn al Qayyam' Ibne Rajab" "Al Biqa'i" on the menaings of Ilah. he said after quoting all this on page 37 and 38 The polytheists of earlier arabs disbelieved in the statement 'There is no God but Allah' verbally and practically. However recent polytheists verbally confess it though they reject it in their actions. One can find them pronounce it while worshiping others besides Allah, the Almighty. The signs of his worship are love, glorification,fear hope, Reliance, Invocation etc. Even their polytheism far exceeds that of earlier Arabs. If any of them afflicted with the calamity you find him invoking other than Allah,Sincerely thinking him to be more useful to them than Allah. . Unlike the earlier polytheist Arabs who used to Assign partners to Allah in times of welfare, but in times of distress and calamities they used to Allah alone with complete sincerity. Allah the almighty says "And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allah , sincere to

Him in religion. But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate others with Him"[Al Ankabut verse no: 65] Comment: his arguments are fine because i myself have seen knowledgeable(according to them) sufis asking help from Abu Hanifa ra ,Abdul Qadir jelani ra and Prophet peace be upon him and Ali ra in the times of distress. He is not the first one who said this, see further the quotes of the muhadditheen on this issue.

Proof that Prostrating other then Allah is not Allowed

Proof 1 It is Narrated by Anas (May Allah be Pleased with him) that the Prophet Peace be upon him said: It is not appropriate for a human being to bow to another. Narrated by Ahmad, 3/158; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1936, 1937; Irwa al-Ghaleel, 3/158. Proof 2 Narrated Qays ibn Sa'd: I went to al-Hirah and saw them (the people) prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, so I said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) has most right to have prostration made before him. When I came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), I said: I went to al-Hirah and saw them prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, but you have most right, Apostle of Allah, to have (people)prostrating themselves before you. He said: Tell me , if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? I said: No. He then said: Do not do so. ...(Abu Dawood Book #11, Hadith #2135) Comment: This is clear statement from Sahabi and Prophet Peace be upon him, see the creed of Sahabi that how he said in Response to Prophet's Question that if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? and Sahabi Said No. and Prophet peace be upon him himself said Do not Do so, but here we can see in Shrines People Prostrate in front of Grave. (even according to some sufis its Haram but still they try to prove prostration in front of the Grave of Prophet Peace be upon him and Pious Scholars) Proof 3 It is narrated by Aishah {May Allah have mercy on Her}: The Prophet {Peace be upon Him} was sitting with a group of Muhajirin and Ansar. A camel came walking all the way to the Prophet {Peace be upon Him} and prostrated before him. Upon observing this spectacle, his Companions said: "O Allah's Messenger {Peace be upon Him}! The animals and trees prostrate before you! And as long as they do it, we are more rightful in doing this to you (i.e. to prostrate before you)." The Prophet {Peace be upon Him} answered: "You must worship your Lord and pay due respect to your brothers." (Musnad Ahmad).(copied from taqwiyat ul eeman) Comment : Here how Prophet peace be upon him graded prostration to be worship by replying "You must worship your Lord and pay due respect to your brothers." we should respect Prophet peace be upon him we should love him more then our life but we can not bow down on his grave. Proof 4 Narrated by Abdullh bin Awfi ra that Muadh bin Jabal RA came from Sham and he bowed in front of Prophet Peace be upon him, Prophet Peace be upon him said, What is this Muadh? He replied i went to

sham and saw them (the people) prostrating to their Priests and Leaders, and i liked in my heart that we prostrate for you, Prophet Peace Be Upon Him said: Do Not Do So [Ibn e Majah: 1853,and Ibn e Hibban Authenticated in (Al Mwarid):129 and Hakim Authenticated in Mustadrak 4/172.] Proof 5 Narrated by Jabir RA ".... We were travelling with the Prophet (Peace be upon him) when suddenly a camel came near and prostrated to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked: Who is the owner of this camel? At this some youngsters from Ansaar said that it belongs to them. The Prophet asked them: What have you done with it? They replied: We have been putting load (of water) on it since the past 20 years, now when he has become old and gathered excessive mass on itself so we made up our minds to slaughter him and distribute the meat amongst our friends. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked: Would you sell it to me? They replied: Ah! It is yours O dear Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam). The Prophet said, keep it but take good care of it until natural death reaches it.The Sahaba asked: O Prophet (Peace be upon him) we are more deserving of prostrating to you than the animals. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) replied: It is not allowed for anyone..

Various Proofs that Asking from Dead is not allowed

Proof 1 [002:186] And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way. Prophet (Peace be upon him) said "Oh people, be easy you are not calling upon one who is deaf or absent. Indeed, you are calling upon One who is Hearing, Seeing, Near. Indeed, the One you are calling upon is closer to one of you than the neck of his riding animal"(al-bukhari 2992 and muslim 2704) Explanation of the hadith: 1. He said this to a people who were loudly supplicating. He informed them that basically their raising of the voice was not necessary for Allaah is not deaf or absent. Now this is speaking of Allaah glory and praise be to Him.. 2. Having known this , now look at the people who will say 'Ya abdul qadir jilani help me' or 'ya shah naqshband help me' or 'Ya Ali help me'. .These people are calling people who are absent and do not have the ability to hear. 3. Allaah is the one who is All Hearing. He is the All aware aquanted with everything we do and THINK. Yet these people want to ascribe divinity to their saints by believing they have the ability to hear their calls. Proof 2

The Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam) advised Ibn Abbaas: ....When you ask for anything then ask Allaah only, if you need help then seek it from Allaah, and know that if all the people gathered and intended to harm you then they cannot do so except that which Allaah has destined for you....(Sahih al-Tirmidhi 2043). Proof 3 Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:" :

"

Strive for that which will benefit you and seek the help of Allaah, and do not be helpless. If anything (bad) happens to you, do not say, If only I had done such-and-such, then such-and-such would have happened. Rather you should say, Qaddara Allaah wa ma shaa faala (Allaah decrees, and what He wills He does), for (the words) If only open the door to the Shaytaan. (Narrated by Muslim). Comment Prophet Peace be upon him clearly says seek the help of Allah, he never said make me tawassul in between you and Allah. Proof 4 Quran states: And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent? (43:45) Ibn e kathir says: . : () . .

Mujahid said that `Abdullahbin Mas`ud recited it: ( )

: .

(And ask those whom We sent before you of Our Messengers.) This was narrated by Qatadah, Suddi from Ibn Mas`ud, may Allah be pleasedwith him. Yet this appears to be an explanation rather than an alternate version of recitation. so meaning is that ask to those people to whom these messengers were sent,Abdul rehman said ask to the anbiya, meaning in the night of meraj and ibn e jareer hold the first opinion. source: http://altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=7&tSoraNo=43&tAyahNo=45&tDisplay=yes &Page=2&Size=1&LanguageId=1 Comment: It also refutes the creed that we can ask anbiya in this world because Abdul rehman said ask to the anbiya, meaning in the night of meraj and 2nd opinion is that ibn e jareer tabree knew it that it is impossible for Prophet (peace be upon him) to ask anbiya in this world (other then a miracle) so he preferred first opinion. Proof 5 Allah says in Suarh al Fatiha You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything). Tabri Commented

):

 - .
(Wa Iyyaka nasta'een) : From You Our Lord we seek help for our worship and our obediance to you in all our affairs - no one but You. For the ones who disbelieved in you would ask the help of what they worshiped from the idols in their affairs, and we seek your help in all of our affairs, our worship being to you alone. Proof 6

Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas said that the Prophet said: ("Allah the Exalted said, 'I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him whenever he invokes Me.') Allah accepts the Invocation[Commentary of Ibne Kathir 2:186]

Proof that Invoking is Worship

Proof 1 An-Nu'man ibn Bashir reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,: "Supplication is worship.' Then he recited, 'Call on Me and I will answer you.'" [.Adab al mufrad chapter 296. The excellence of supplication] Ibne Kathir said regarding above narration This was also recorded by the Sunan compilers; At-Tirmdhi, An-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, and Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih.'' It was also recorded by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i, and Ibn Jarir with a different chain of narration.(Tafsir of the ayah 40:60) Proof 2 (And your Lord said, "Invoke Me, I will respond (to your invocation).'') 40:60 Ibn Kathir in his Tafsir: Allah encourages His servants to call upon Him, and He guarantees to respond..... Imam-Qurtubi states in the commentary of this verse:

.
Your Lord said: Call upon Me, and I will respond to you!, this proves that invocation is the act of worship, and this is what most of the mufassirin are upon. Source: http://altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=5&tSoraNo=40&tAyahNo=60&tDisplay=ye s&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=1 Proof 3 Allah says And the mosques are for Allah (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allah. (Al-Jinn 72:18) Ibn e Jareer Tabree

} { Comments: { }

(And the mosques are for Allah so invoke not) O people (anyone along with Allah) and do not associate anyone as a partner to Him therein, but rather single Him out with Tawhid (Pure Monotheism) and make worship purely and sincerely for Him (alone) Proof 4 Allah says: And most of them believe not in God without associating (other as partners) with Him! (12:106) Tabree Commented Their belief in Allah is their saying: Allah is our Creator, our Provider, who gives us death and gives us life; while their Shirk is to attribute partners unto Allah in His worship and invocation.

Tabaree said

"The saying of Allaah Ta'ala ((And to your Lord turn all your invocations)) Allaah mentions is: "O Muhammad direct your fervent desires to your Lord, and not to any one from the creation since the mushrikeen from your people have made their fervent desires to gods and their associates". The people of Tafseer have also said similar to what we have just mentioned"[in his tafsir of Surah ash-Sharh (94), verse 8] source: http://www.altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=1&tSoraNo=94&tAyahNo=8&tDisplay =yes&Page=4&Size=1&LanguageId=1

Anbiya are Included in Mindoonillah

Imam Qurtubee said under the ayah 14 of surah fatir: ([035:014] If ye invoke them, they will not listen to your call, and if they were to listen, they cannot answer your (prayer). On the Day of Judgment they will reject your "Partnership". and none, (O man!) can tell thee (the Truth) like the One Who is acquainted with all things.) .Qurtubees Commentry: Meaning is If you Call them for help in hard situations then they can not hear you because they are Jamadaat, they can not see nor hear.

: {
This is Possible that this ayah is for Angels,Jinn, Prophets and Satan they will Reject What have you done and they (will reject that they) told them to worship them, Like EESA ALEH SALAM will say (It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Source: http://altafsir.com/Tafasir.asp?tMadhNo=0&tTafsirNo=5&tSoraNo=35&tAyahNo=14&tDisplay=ye s&UserProfile=0&LanguageId=1 Allah says in Surah Isra verse 56-57 (56. Say: "Call upon those - besides Him whom you pretend. They have neither the power to remove the adversity from you nor even to shift (it from you to another person).'') (57. Those whom they call upon,

desire a means of access to their Lord, as to which of them should be the nearest; and they hope for His mercy and fear His torment. Verily, the torment of your Lord is (something) to be afraid of!) Ibn Kathir Commented Allah says: (Say) O Muhammad to these idolators who worship things other than Allah, (Call upon those - besides Him whom you pretend.) such as idols and rivals of Allah. Even if you turn to them, (They have neither the power to remove the adversity from you) they have no such power at all, (nor even to shift (it from you to another person.)) to lift the distress from you and give it to someone else. The meaning is that the only one Who is able to do that is Allah Alone, with no partner or associate, Who is the One Who creates and issues commands. (Say: "Call upon those whom you pretend) Al-'Awfi reported from Ibn 'Abbas, "The people of Shirk used to say, 'we worship the angels and the Messiah and 'Uzayr,' while these (the angels and the Messiah and 'Uzayr) themselves call upon Allah.'' (Those whom they call upon, desire) Al-Bukhari recorded from Sulayman bin Mahran Al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from Abu Ma'mar, from 'Abdullah: (Those whom they call upon, desire a means of access to their Lord,) "Some of the Jinn used to be worshipped, then they became Muslims.'' According to another report: "Some humans used to worship some of the Jinn, then those Jinn became Muslim, but those humans adhered to their religion (of worshipping the Jinn).'' (they hope for His mercy and fear His torment.) Worship cannot be complete or perfect unless it is accompanied by both fear and hope. Fear stops one from doing things that are forbidden, and hope makes one do more good deeds. (Verily, the torment of your Lord is (something) to be afraid of!) meaning, one should beware of it and be afraid lest it happen. We seek refuge with Allah from that. Comment It is also proving that Anbiya are included in Mindoonillah as some people claim that they are not included(just idols are included) so we can ask help from them(anbiya), Imam Qurtubee and Ibn Kahir proved that they can not help us Abu Al abbas Qurtubi says "Therefore, the Muslims went to great lengths to block the tendency to do so at the grave of the Prophet (saws). They raised the dirt walls around it high, completely surrounding it and blocking off the entrances to it. Then they feared that the location of his grave might be turned into a direction for prayer, because it was in the direction the worshippers face and some of them might get the idea that facing it was an act of worship. For this reason, they built two walls at the northern corners of the grave and placed them at a slant so that they would form a triangle with on of its corners pointing to the North. In this way, no one could be able to directly face the grave while making his prayer." [al-Mufhim lima Ashkal min Talkis Kitb Muslim (2/128)] Ala ud din Kasani (587 h) Mentioned in Bada`i al Sanai`e 5/126 ( It is disliked if a person say in Dua and ask Allah with the Haq of messengers and Prophets with the haq of so and so because there is no haq on anyone other than Allah subhanawa Tala Jalla Shanahu

Ibn Rajab Ibn Hambali He comments on the hadith from Ibn Abbas radiyallahu anhum: When you are asking, ask only from Allah and when you are asking for help ask only from Allah. He comments:

Know that asking from Allah and not from his creation is necessary. That is because when you are asking you are menafesting humility and obedience to the one whom you are asking from and with that you are alos depending on him. Therefore that contains a direct exceptance about the one who is asked is capable of removing harm, to give the desired thing so that there maybe be benefit. It is not permisible to show humility, submition and need except to Allah because these things in reality are worship.

Imam ahmad was making a du'a Ya Allah!

O Abdul qadir: Do such to me', he is indeed kafir and whoever makes dua to the dead, he is kafir [Kitab hukam ALLAH al wahid al samad page 44] The portion O Mawla Abdul Qadir is a portion from the author of this work to depict an example,same and detailed Ibaarath from Talbees Iblees of Ibn Al Jozi Ibn e jozi said regarding deviants. One of there habbit is that on the 15th night of shaban they visit the graves... and they take the mud from the grave of saint

Then he quoted ibn Aqil that Ibn e Aqil said

:
"Ibn Aqil said: When these obligations were hard on the ignorant and rabble ones, they diverted themselves from the positions of Shari'a to revere positions which they laid down for themselves, so it felt easy to them as they will not be regulated by the order of anyone except themselves. He added: To me, they are kafir (infidels) due to these positions; like revering the graves and paying respect to them with things which are forbidden by Shari'a like burning fire, kissing the graves, roaming around them, addressing the dead with sheets (of requests) and notes on patches which say like this: "O My Master do such and such for me", and taking the soil for getting blessing, pouring perfume on the graves, undertaking journey to visit them, hanging shreds with trees, as imitation to those who worship Lat and Uzza.

Ibne Jozi said:

It is apparent from that idol and asnam worship started due to veneration of graves of Auliya and righteous people, That's why Shaa're (Prophet) Peace be upon him forbade veneration of graves, praying near them and sitting on them. For, verily because of this thing previous generations started shirk al-Akbar.

page 21 Publishers (Dar Ibne Katheer Beruit Taba 1424)

Because of this today we find ignorant people; Satan took over them, they mourn when they mention graves and scholars, they submit their selves and they worship with their hearts which they don't practice in mosque and suhur. And some of them prostrate on graves this is shirk with Allah we seek refuge with Allah with it page 21 Publishers (Dar Ibne Katheer Beruit Taba 1424)

Asking help for the needs from Scholars and Auliyah is included in the shirk and taking oath on their names... who ever ask help from other then Allah or call upon them as they say in veneration for scholars O my leader O My shaykh so and so (Ya Sayyadi Ya Sayyadi Fulaan).. so he associated other partner with Alllah

. Ibn e Jozi Criticised al-Ghazali Badly when he said Sufis can see souls of Prophets and hear them. He said Then there came Abu Haamid Al-Ghazaalee who wrote the book ' Ihyaa 'Uloom-ud-Deen' for them, according to the methodology of the (Sufi) people, which he filled with baseless ahaadeeth even though he knew well they were baseless. He spoke about knowledge of theMukaashafah (unveiling of unseen by Allaah to Sufis) and withdrew from the principles of Fiqh. And he stated such things as: 'Indeed the stars, the sun and the moon, which Ibraaheem saw, were in fact lights that screened Allaah!' Such things are not mentioned in any of the sources of knowledge. Rather, this is from the types of speech of the Baatiniyyah. He (Al-Ghazaalee) also said in the book ' Al-Mufsih bil-Ahwaal': "While in their state of wakefulness, the Sufis are able to witness the angels and souls of the prophets, hear their voices and take hold

of benefit from them. Then this condition escalates from the witnessing (of their) images to levels in which they are contained within these domains." The factors that caused these individuals to write these books was their little knowledge of the Sunnah, Islaam and the narrations, as well as their dedication for what they approved of from the way of the people (Sufis). They only approved this way because of adoration for abstinence ( zuhd) that was established in their souls. They did not see any condition better than the condition of these people (Sufis) in regards to appearance, nor any speech more pleasant than their speech, whereas in the biographies of the Salaf, they found a form of harshness. So the people inclined very strongly towards these individuals (Sufis). This was due to what we stated previously, that it was a way, which was characterized outwardly by cleanliness and worship, whereas on the inside, it was about indulging in leisure and hearing music, which the bodily dispositions incline to. The original Sufis would flee from the leaders and authorities. However (in later times) they became friends. The majority of these books that were compiled for them have things in them that cannot be traced back to any (authentic) source. Rather, they are only based on mystical occurrences that befell some of them, which they managed to take hold of and record. They called this hidden knowledge ( al-'ilm-ul-baatin). Abu Ya'qoob Ishaaq bin Hayya said: "I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal once when asked about the occurrence of delusions and notions, so he replied: 'The Sahaabah and the Taabi'een never spoke about such things.'"[Ibn e Jozi in Talbees Iblees pg. 163 and Page 261 of Urdu Tranlsation] Note: Abu Hamid Ghazali repented from all these Khurafaat like Sufis can see souls,Angels and they can hear them etc. This is called Speech of Baataniyah as said by Ibn e Jozi. See here repentence of Ghazali http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/13473 Shaikh Fakhruddeen Aboo Sad Uthmaan al-Jiyaanee ibn Sulaymaan al-Hanafee said in a treatise of his:

This is vile shirk and clear ignorance, Allaah, the Most High, says: And who is more astray than one who calls (invokes) besides Allaah, such as will not answer him till the Dayof Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them?

In al-Bahr (3/94) there occurs: If such a person marries, attesting his belief in Allaah and His Messenger, then the marriage is not correct. Rather he is an Unbeliever due to his belief that the prophet knows the Hidden and Unseen." Its like occurs in the Fataawaa of Qaadee Khaan, al-Aynee, ad- Durrul-Mukhtaar, al-Aalamgeeriyyah and other books by the Hanafee scholars, Then as for the Noble Aayaat and sayings in the pure Sunnah in refutation of the foundations of shirk, and in pure rebuke of those guilty of it, then they are too many to be counted(end) Ash-Shaikh Abu Tayyib Shamsul-Haqq al-Azeemabaadee said in Al-Taleeq al- Mughnee alaa Sunan Daaraqutnee (pp.520-521):

From the vilest of evil acts and the greatest of innovations and the most severe inventions is the practice of the people of innovation that they mention Shaikh Abdul-Qaadir al-Jeelaanee, rahimahullaah, by saying: 0 Shaikh Abdul-Qaad ir al-Jeelaanee grant us something for the sake of Allaah, and they misdirect their prayers to Baghdad, and many other practices. These people are worshippers of others besides Allaah and they make a totally deficient and unjust estimate of Allaah. These ignorant people do not know that the Shaikh, rahimullah, is not able to bring them an atoms weight of good, nor to remove an atoms weight of evil from them. Why do they call upon him for help and why do they seek their needs from him? Is Allaah not sufficient for His servants?! 0 Allaah we seek Your refuge from associating anything with Your honoring any of Your creation with the honor due to You. They also state in al-Bazzaariyyah and other books of religious rulings: Whoever claims that the souls of the Shaikhs are present, and that they know what occurs, has become an Unbeliever.(end) source. http://www.kl28.com/forums/t4364.html It is mentioned in Hashiya Radd al Mukhtar "Whoever thinks that any dead person has any control over the affairs besides Allaah, and he believes that, then he is an Unbeliever."

It is mentioned in Al-Waasitah (p.5):

. " .
Whoever makes the prophets, and the scholars of the religion, intermediaries between Allaah and His creation, like the door keepers employed by earthly kings who come between them and their subjects,

"

and thinks that they are the ones who raise up the needs of the creation to Allaah, the Most High, and that Allaah, the Most High, guides, gives provision and aid to His creation through them, meaning that the creation make request of them and then they in turn make request of Allaah, just as the intermediaries with earthly kings pass on the request of subjects to them, and the people ask them since it is not deemed correct for them to ask the king directly, and it is more beneficial for them to make their request to the intermediaries than to ask the king directly, since they are closer to the king. So whoever deems them to be intermediaries in this way, then he is a Kaafir and a mushrik. His repentance is to be sought, and he either repents or he is killed. Such people make similarity with Allaah; they take Him to be like His creation, and attribute rivals to Allaah...(end) Its mentioned in Fatawa-e-Bazaaria: : Our Scholars Say, Whoever say that souls of our Mashaaeikhs are Present and knowing have committed Kufr.

The idol ( Wathan) is the Statue ( Sanam) and it is the Surah from gold or from silver or anything else from tamtheel ( forms) and all that is worshiped besides Allah is an idol (wathan), whether it is a Sanam ( statue) or other, and arabs did pray in front of statues and worshiped them and the Prophet peace be upon him feared for his Ummah that they do what some people of previous generations did, when a Prophet died they stayed ( 'akafoo) next to his grave as done for an idol, then the Prophet peace be upon him said O Allah, do not turn my grave into an idol. So that people pray in front of it and prostrate it and worship it. The people who did this the warth of Allah was on them. Prophet peace be upon him used to order his companions and others to keep away from the bad deeds of these people, Who prayed by facing the graves of their Prophets, and made them mosque like the idol worshipers did with their idols.

And in this (hadith) there is a warning about praying to his(peace be upon him) grave and making it a place of worship. And this is an order not to worship anyone except Allah Alone.

Allamah Allusi al-Hanafi Under the Quranic Surah 22, verse 73 he says:

:
{Surely, those you call apart from Allah cannot create even a fly}, writes: "This is an indication rebuking those who have exceeded the limit in regards to thesaints when seeking their aid at times of distress while being neglectful of Allah Most High and making vows (nadhr) to them. And the intelligent from among them say: "They are our means to Allah Most High; we are only vowing to Allah Most High and dedicating its reward to the wali". And it is clear that in their first claim they are similar to those who worship idols who say, "We only worship them so they may bring us close to Allah". And there is nothing wrong with their second claim as long as they do not seek from them, with that, cure for their sick or the return of their lost items or something like that". AND he continues:

: : : .
And the concept of [them] seeking (from the dead person) is clear from their situation. This [meaning] is understood if they are told: Make a vow for Allah Most High and allocate its reward for your parents for indeed they are in more need than those people. They would not do so. And I have seen many of them prostrating at the doorsteps of the mausoleums of the friends of Allah. And among them are those who affirm that they all have the right of disposal (tasarruf) in their graves and that, however, they are different in that (in their ability of tasarruf) according to the differences in their statuses. And the ulama among them enumerate the right of disposal in the graves into four or five, and when they are asked for proof they say: That was established through kashf. May Allah Most High fight them! How great is their ignorance and lies. And among them are those who claim the saints can leave their graves and take different shapes. And their ulama say their souls appear in different shapes and travel wherever they wish. At times they take the shape of a lion or a gazelle or something similar. And all of this is false, and without basis in the Book, the Sunnah and the speech of the predecessors of the Ummah. These people have ruined peoples faith and have become an object of ridicule for the people of those religions which

have been abrogated, such as the Jews and the Christians, and likewise the people of other sects and the freethinkers . We ask Allah for forgiveness and well being". Imam Mahmud Al-Alusi said in Tafsir of the verse Seek Wasilah to Him (Maidah: 35): And Tahqiq of Kalam (verified speech) in this place is that Istighathah with creation, and making it a Wasilah in the meaning of asking Dua to them, there is no doubt in its permissibility if the sought person is alive, and we do not restrict this to the case of the one being asked is superior, rather one can ask the superior and the inferior, and it has been authenticated that he (saw) asked Umar (to make du'a for him) when he sought for permission for Umrah: " Do not forget your brother in your du'a" and he ordered him as well to seek Uwais AL Qarni so he seeks forgiveness for him, and he (saw) ordered the community to ask Wasilah (place in paradise) for him as it has just been mentioned and by they sending Sala upon him. As for when the sought person is dead or absent, it is not hidden for scholars that it is not permissible and it is from innovations that none of the Salaf did... and he continuous Sahih ul Bukhari" from Anas that 'Umar ibnul Khattab when they faced drought, sought rain with Abbas and said : "O Allah we used to do Tawassul with Your Prophet (saw) and You gave us rain, and now we do Tawassul to You with the uncle of our Prophet, give us rain" and they were given rain. And if there was Tawassul with him (saw) after his death from this world, why did they turn to other? Rather they would have said : "O Allah we do tawassul with Your Prophet, give us rain" And they are far away from turning from the Tawassul of Prophet (saw) to the Tawassul with his uncle Abbas...while they were the first forerunners, and they were more knowledgeable than us about Allah and His Prophet (saw), and the rights of Allah and His Prophet (saw), what is legislated in du'a and what is not legislated, and they were in time of huge need, they were seeking relief from difficulties and easiness of difficult, and descent of rain with all ways, this is clear proof that the legislated is what they did without others. And what is mentioned in Qiyas of him with other saint souls with difference of status - (difference) that is denied bynone except a hypocrite - this is from what is not possible to accept, and you came to know that for swearing with him (saw) unto his Lord alive or dead, there is no clear text to justify it, and it is not said that what is in the narration of Al-Bukhari constitutes a proof for authenticity of swearing with him (saw) alive and the same for other people.(end) and he then continued "Allaah's saying: "{{Oh believers, fear Allah and seek a means (wasilah) towards reaching him}}", - Indeed people have increased supplicating to others apart from Allah from among the saints, those that are alive or dead and others. For example (they say): "Ya Sayyidi Fullaan Agithni (Oh my such and such master, aid me)". This is not from the permissible type of tawassul (intercession) at all!"

"He said: Or he made between him and Allah intermediaries on whom he places his trust, to whom he supplicates and asks for help. Ahmad bin Abdul Qadir al-Rumi [d:1041H] a learned scholar from the people of Akhisar in present day Turkey said in preface of Majalis al-Abrar: "...precaution from that which is inside it from seeking from graves and other things from the actions of disbelief and the people of deviance who lead astray." This book is divided into 100 majalis [chapters]. He writes in chapter 17 And among them is visiting these places to offer worship there and to circumambulate them, kiss them, perform their istilam, put the dust of graves on their faces, take their soil, call on the people of the graves, ask them for aid [istigatha], and ask them for help, sustenance, well-being, children, fulfilling of loans, removing of difficulties and others needs that the worshipers of idols ask their idols. All of this is not legislated by any imam of religion, because all of this has not been done by the Prophet of the Lord of the Universe [pbuh], neither by any Sahabah, Tabi'i and any of the imams of the religion. It is impossible that any of this is permissible and righteous." Shaykh Ahmad bin Abdul Qadir al-Rumi [may Allah have mercy on him] writes in Majalis al-Abrar, chapter three titled :

"...And there are those people who seek aid [istigatha] from the creation, this is regardless of whether they are alive or dead, Muslim or non-Muslim. And shaytan takes the form of the person whose help has been sought and fulfills the need of the person who has sought help. So, these Muslims think that shaytan is the same person who they called for help. However, it is not as they believe. In reality, it is shaytan who misguides them when they assigned a partner to Allah. For, shaytan leads astray the children of Adam [may the peace of Allah be upon him] according to his ability. So, when shaytan helps them according to their needs, he is harming them much more than he can benefit them. Hence, that person who is a Muslim, when he seeks aid from those shaykhs who he believes in then shaytan comes to him in the shape of that shaykh because shaytan often takes the forms of the pious but he does not have the power to take the form of the Prophet of the Cherisher of the worlds [Allah bless him and give him peace]. Then, indeed that shaykh whose help has been sought, if he is from among those of knowledge, then the shaytan will not inform him of the saying of his companions who sought his help. And if he is from those who have no knowledge he informs him [the shaykh] of what they said and he [shaytan] relays to them the shaykh's speech. So those ignorant people think that indeed the shaykh has heard their voices and answered them in spite of the long distance. Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jailani writes: O you who complain your hardship his calamities to the creatures like him .. They never give you benefit nor take a harm from you. And if you repent on them and you set them as partners in regards to the matter of Allah. They will distant you from Allah. They will be throwing you, O you who ignorant claiming to be having knowledge. Seeking salvation from difficulties by addressing your complain to those creatures like you?. Woe to you, Aren't you ashamed to seek your need and help from someone other than Allah, While HE is closer to you than all others[Fath al-Rabbani page 117-118] He said

. .

There is no good or evil or harm or benefit or giving or forbidding or opening or closing or death or life or grace or disgrace or wealth or poverty except all of this is in the hands of Allah. So [with complete tawhid] one becomes in front of taqdir like a suckling child in the arms of a wet nurse." [Futuh al-Ghayb, Maqala #3 P.5] He also said

The Al-Mufawwada [a sect of Shias], they believe that Allah has entrusted the management [tadbir] of the creation to the Imams, and that Allah has given the Prophet [may Allah bless him and give him peace] the

power of creating universe and its tadbir [disposing of it]. [Ghunyat al-Talibin, p.221] Al-Hafidh Ibn Hibban said ..." (

"I was afflicted with a problem during my stay in Tus, I would visit the grave of Ali bin Musa (Allah (SWT)'s blessings be upon his grandfather and him) and ask Allah (SWT) to relieve me of that problem and it (my dua) would be answered and the problem alleviated. And this is something I did, and found to work, many times [Ibn Hibban, Kitab uth-Thiqat Volume 008, Page No. 456-7 #14411] Comment: May Allah bless Imam Ibn Hibban he only asked Allah he never said O Ali bin Musa Aid me or help me, he said he asked help from Allah. Ibn Taymiyya says in reference to the verse "They worship besides Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, saying: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Do you inform Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth? Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him!" (Yunus 18) 'He Subhaanahu informed about the pagans as has preceded that they took intermediaries between themselves and Allah, calling upon them and taking them as intercessors without Allah's permission. Allah Ta'ala said: "They worship besides Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, saying: These are our intercessors with Allah. Say: Do you inform Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth? Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him!" Hence, Allah informed that those who took them as intercessors areMushrikun.' Majmu' al-Fatawa 3/105 Imaam Suyooti in his work :- Under the Chapter ( Veneration of those places which are not applicable for veneration) First he replied those who say that our prayers are accepted at these places or graves or shrines etc He replied by saying ) : .

For Verily visiting the graves with the intention that our prayers will be accepted is not allowed and it is closer to Haram. Sahaba faced so many difficulties after the death of Prophet (peace be upon him) drought came to them,........ so Why didn't they come to the grave of Prophet of Allah? Why they didn't request him (peace be upon him) for rain? Why they didn't call at his grave? Prophet (SAW) is the highest of the creation in the sight of Allah In fact at the time of drought OMAR Ra went to Eid GAH with Abbas RA and asked him to pray for rain(prayer of istesqa see Sahih bukhari for detailed athar). They never prayed near grave of Prophet (peace be upon him). O Muslim If You are follower of Allah like your Salaf as Saleh were so follow them, do Research of Correct Tauheed, Do not Worship other then Allah, Do not Make Partners of Allah. As Allah Commanded (Therefore worship Me.) and Allah says (So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.'')

Comment: This book is publish by Qahirah with the Tahqeeq of Mustafa Ashoor Also with the Tahqeeq of Mustafa Abdul Qadir Ata, Shaykh Mashoor bin Hasan aal Salmaan also did tehqeeq of this book Published by 1990 / 1410 1 Suyuti ra is clear in his stance some people may quote suyuti where He has related the tradition of Adam's intermediation in ad-Durr-ul-manthr (1:58) and al-Khas'is-ul-kubr (1:6) and also he quoted the tawassul of jews in his book.but this is only he has narrated not that those were his own wrdings and 2ndly Hafiz As-Suyuti himself weakened the narration of jews in his "Dur ul Manthur. and weakened the narration of Adam peace be upon him in Sharah As shifa

Fakhrudin Ar-Razi in the Tafsir of verse 18 of surah yunus mentioned different sayings of scholars about how the Mushriks took idols as intermediary towards Allah, and he mentioned in fourth explanation:

.
"They built these statues and idols upon the forms of their Prophets and leaders (Akabir), and they believed that when they would worship these idols, then these leaders (Akabir) would become intercessors for them in front of Allah. And what is similar to this in our times is the veneration (ta'zeem) of a lot of people among the creation of the graves of their leaders (Akabir), with the belief that if they venerate their graves, then they (leaders) will be intercessors for them in front of Allah."

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: Whoever regards the angels and Prophets as intermediaries whom he calls upon, puts his trust in and asks them to bring that which will benefit him and ward off harmful things, such as asking them to forgive sins, guide them, relieve them of distress and meet their needs, is a kaafir, according to the consensus of the Muslims.

In short it says: So the help of Allaah should be sought in all cases. He says that creation seeking help in creation is like a prisoner seeking the help of another prisoner!!!

Origin of Shirk
Ibn e Abbas RA said

:
Ten centuries between Adam (aleh salam) and Nuh (Alehsalam) were on ISLAM then shirk came due to tazeem of the graves of pious (Majmoo Fatawa vol 1 page 165-167) Al-Qurtubi on the origin of shirk being grave of saints He said in his Tasfir of Surah Al-Baqarah, Eng. Tran. p 319, verse 104

"As for the Sunna, there are many firm, sound ahadith, including the hadith of 'A'isha that Umm Habiba and Umm Salama mentioned to the Messenger of Allah a church they had seen in Abyssinia with images, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "AMONG THOSE PEOPLE, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DIED, THEY BUILT A PLACE OF PRAYER OVER HIS GRAVE AND ADORNED IT WITH THOSE IMAGES. THOSE ARE THE WORST OF CREATURES IN THE SIGHT OF ALLAH." (al-Bukhari and Muslim) Our scholars have said that those earlier people did that to console themselves by seeing those images and remembering the righteous behaviour of the people buried there and they strove as they had striven and worshipped Allah at their graves. Then time passed and those after them were ignorant of their aims and Shaytan whispered to them that their fathers and forefathers had worshipped those images and so they started to worship them. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, warned against the same thing happening and strongly objected to people doing that. He blocked the means to that and said, "The anger of Allah is terrible against people who take the graves of their Prophets and righteous men as mosques," and "0 Allah, do not make my grave an idol which is worshipped."" Ibn Abidin said concerning the reason of forbidding the prayer in graveyards: There is difference on the reason (for this forbiddance), it has been said because the bones and rests of the dead are there and they are impure, and this contains objection (meaning this matter is not right). It has been said (that the reason is) because the origin of idol worship is to take the graves of saints as places of worship (Masajid) and it has been said because it resembles the Jews. [Rad Al-Muhtar p 254 ] Ibn e Kthir said under ayah 19 of surah 53 Allah the Exalted rebukes the idolators for worshipping idols and taking rivals to Him. They built houses for their idols to resemble the Ka`bah built by Prophet Ibrahim, Allah's Khalil.. (Have you then considered Al-Lat,) .. It was reported that Al-Lat is pronounced Al-Lat because, according to `Abdullah bin `Abbas, Mujahid, and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, Al-Lat was a man who used to mix Sawiq (a kind of barley mash) with water for the pilgrims during the time of Jahiliyyah. When he died, they remained next to his grave and worshipped him.'' Tabree under ayah 19 of surah 53 (Have you then considered Al-Lat,)

"Visiting graves to offer prayers by them, circumambulate them, kiss them, carry out their istilam, to rub cheeks on them, take their dust, to supplicate to the occupants [of the grave], seek their aid [isti'ana], ask from them help, sustenance, well being, children, fulfillment of debts, removal of difficulties, help with sorrows and other needs which the worshippers of idols used to ask their idols. None of this is sanctioned in Shariah, according to the consensus of the Imams of the Muslims, as the Messenger of Allah and none of the Companions and Followers and the imams of the faith did this. Rather, the basis of this polytheistic, bidati visit has been derived from the worshippers of statutes!"

Imam Birqivi hanafi (rahimuhullah) also said in "Ziyaratul quboor" : "Salamah ibn Wardan said: "I seen Anas ibn Malik greeting prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa salam). Then he turned his back to grave (of prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa salam) and started to make /dua/. There is no contradiction on this issue between scholars. The difference is in the opinion where he should be greeted. Abu Haneefa used to turn towards /qibla/ when he greeted prophet :s:, and he didn't turn towards grave. Some others said:"Person should turn to grave only when he is saluting". No one from 4 imams said that (anyone) should turn to grave when he supplicate. There is only one baseless story on this issue that attributed to imam Malik. It also said that imam Shafi supplicated while he was standing near the grave of Abu Haneefa, and he was turned to his grave. And that's blatant lie"..("Ziyaratul quboor" on page 58)

Hafidh Al Bayhaqi said that Allah says:

Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyah replied very beautifully and said: Whoever comes to the grave of a Prophet or a righteous man, or what he believes to be the grave of a Prophet or a righteous man although it is not, and asks him for something and seeks his help, one of the three following scenarios applies:

(i) he is asking him for something that he needs, such as to cure his sick animals or to pay off his debt or to take revenge on his enemy or to protect him, his family and his livestock, and other things which no one can do except Allaah. This is obvious shirk and he must be told to repent. If he repents, all well and good, otherwise he must be executed. If he says, I am asking him because he is closer to Allaah, so that he can intercede for me with regard to these matters, because I am seeking Allaah's help through his virtue, just as people seek the ruler's help through those who are close to him - this is also like the actions of the mushrikeen and Christians, who claim that they take their priests and monks as intercessors and ask them to intercede for them with their

requests. meaning]. And

Allaah

tells

us

that

the

mushrikeen

say:

" 'We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allaah.'" [al-Zumar 39:3 - interpretation of the Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Have they taken (others) as intercessors besides Allaah? Say: "Even if they have power over nothing whatever and have no intelligence?" Say: "To Allaah belongs all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. Then to Him you shall be brought back." [al-Zumar 39:43-44] "You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wali (protector or helper) or an intercessor. Will you not then remember (or receive admonition)?" [al-Sajdah 32:4] "Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?" [al-Baqarah 2:255]. The difference between Him and His creation is clear: people usually ask some of their leading figures who are in positions of honour to intercede for them with their leaders, so that intercessor asks the leader and he meets the person's request because he hopes to gain something thereby, or because he is afraid of him, or because he is too shy to refuse, or because he is being friendly towards him, etc. But no one intercedes with Allaah, may He be glorified, until He gives permission to the intercessor. He only does what He wills, and the intercession of the intercessor is only made by His permission. The entire matter rests with Him The idea of many misguided people, that this person is closer to Allaah than I am, and I am far away from Allaah and cannot call upon Him except through this mediation etc., all of these ideas are ideas of shirk. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad ) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor)" [al-Baqarah 2:186]

In al-Saheeh it was reported that when they were on a journey, they were saying Takbeer ("Allaahu akbar") in loud voices, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "O people, take it easy! You are not calling upon One Who is deaf or absent; you are calling upon One Who is All-Hearing and Ever Near. The One upon Whom you are calling is closer to any one of you than the neck of his camel."

Allaah has commanded all people to pray to Him and call on Him, and He has commanded them all to say (interpretation of the meaning): "You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything)." [al-Faatihah 1:5]. And " 'We He worship has them only told that they us may that bring us the near to Mushrikeen Allaah.'" [al-Zumar say: 39:3].

Moreover, it may be said to this mushrik: if you call upon this person, that means you think that he knows more about your situation, is more able to grant you what you ask for and is more merciful towards you. This is ignorance, misguidance and kufr. If you know that Allaah has more knowledge and is more able and more merciful, then why do you fail to ask Him, and instead turn to

others? Have you not heard what al-Bukhaari and others narrated from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to teach us to pray Istikhaarah (du'aa' seeking guidance from Allaah) in all our affairs, just as he taught us the Surahs of the Qur'aan.

Even if you know that this person is closer to Allaah than you and of a higher status than you, this may be true, but what you are implying is wrong. Even if he is indeed closer to Allaah and of a higher status, that only means that Allaah will reward him and give him more than you. It does not mean that if you call on him, Allaah will answer your prayer more than He would do if you called upon Him yourself. If you are deserving of being punished and of having your supplication rejected, for example, because your du'aa' is offered in an improper manner, then no Prophet or righteous person will help you to do something that Allaah dislikes and is angry with. Even if that is not the case, then you should ask from Allaah because Allaah is more merciful.(Majmoo' al-Fataawaa, 27/72-75) Fatwa of Abdul Hai Lakhnawi Hanafi Question: What is the stance for that person who believes that Auliyah knows and they can listen the one who is invoking from far and near and he talks with them(auliyah) like he is talks with the person who is present and he makes vows for them and says that i made vows for them(auliyah) . Answer: The Creed of this person is Invalid in fact there is a danger of Kufar because listening of Invocations by Auliyah is not proven and in all the periods it is speciality of Allah that he has all the knowledge of unseen for all the things, It is mentioned in Fatawah Bazariyaah ""And one becomes a kafir with the statement that the souls of the mashaykh are present, and knowing"." and same book says "If someone married by making Allah and his Prophet witness he is kafir because he thought that Prophet has a knowledge of Unseen. And vows are prohibited if they are for others then Allah.

Tashahud of Ibn Masood RA

It has been narrated by Imam Bukhari in his Saheeh on the authority of Abdullah ibn Masood who said: The messenger of Allah taught me the Tashhahud [with] my palm between his palms, the way he taught me the Surahs of the Quran [which began with the following words]: All compliments, prayers, and pure words are due to Allah, Peace be on you, O Prophet ]This was while he was among us, but after he passed away, we would say Peace be on the prophet (without khitab YA) Recorded in Saheeh Bukhari, vol. 8, The book of asking permission, Chapter 28, Hadeeth number: 6265 [English Edition, Darussalam]

Tashahud of ibn e Umar RA

Mawtta imam Malik Book 3, Number 3.14.57: Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say the tashahhud saying, "In the name of Allah. Greetings belong to Allah. Prayers belong

to Allah. Pure actions belong to Allah. Peace be on the Prophet and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be on us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun. I testify that there is no god except Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." He used to say this after the first two rakas and he would make supplication with whatever seemed fit to him when the tashahhud was completed. When he sat at the end of the prayer, he did the tashahhud in a similar manner, except that after the tashahhud he made supplication with whatever seemed fit to him. When he had completed the tashahhud and intended to say the taslim, he said, "Peace be on the Prophet and His mercy and blessings. Peace be upon us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun." "As-salamu ala'n-nabiyyi wa rahmatu'llahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala ibadi'llahi'ssalihin ."(end)(without the khitab YA)

Creed of Sahaba
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of 'Asim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the grandfather of 'Asim bin Umar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When 'Asim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them, "Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill any one of you" 'Asim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. (Bukhari Book#52, Hadith #281)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle sent out ten spies under the command of 'Asim bin Thabit AlAnsari, the grand-father of 'Asim bin 'Umar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfanand Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When 'Asim and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not kill anyone of you." 'Asim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." Sahih Bukhari Book #59, Hadith #412) Comment Its clear the sahaba asked help from ALLA that is O Allah inform our Prophet, Why cant they call like O Prophet , help us , so and so, They believed only Allah can hear from far away and can help from anywhere but not Prophet peace be upon him,and Prophet peace be upon him is not watching them not he is with them(that is creed of omnipresence of Prophet(Hadir nadir)) Related Fatwas:
