4 FABRICATED HADITHS

NO.1 : Love the Arabs for three reasons ; because I Muhammad (Allah’s apostle ) am an Arab, the holy Quran was revealed in Arabic and the language of Jannah will be Arabic.

Related by Al Haakim in his book Al Mustadrak ( vol. 4, page 87 ).The great Hadith scholar Abu Haatim in his book Jarh Wa Ta’deel, ‘The Invalidation and Acceptance of Transmitters of Hadith ( vol 3, page 359 ), said this Hadith is false.

In islam we love people if they are mindful of their duties to Allah.We do not show love to people because of their race,language,tribe,nationality or wealth.

The Arab governments in the world today happen to be the greatest enemies if Islam and Muslims, thus we are not allowed to love these despotic leaders simply because they are Arabs, this is so because we are obliged to practice Al-Wala Wal Baraa ( to love and hate solely for Allah. In this regard Allah said,

“You will never find any people who believe in Allah and the last day making friends with those who are enemies of Allah and his messenger. Even though they may be their fathers, or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. For such He {Allah} has written in their hearts Iman .” { SURA MUJAADILAH : 22 }

It is worthy to mentioning that when the Holy Prophet Muhammad {SM} fought His first battle {the battle of Badr}. He didn’t fight against Persians or Romans but instead He fought against His own people the Arabs of Quraish. In this battle Umar {RA} killed His own uncle and Abu Ubaida Ibn Al Jarrah {RA} killed His own father. As for the language of Jannah, Allah knows best what it shall be, however Allah shall say ‘Assalaamu alaikum’ to the believers after admitting them into His paradise, and this is the explanation to Allah’s words :

“ It will be said to them “Salaamun” {peace be on you} a word from the Lord Allah,most merciful ”

{ Sura Yaa-seen : 58 }

NO.2 : TO LOVE YOUR COUNTRY IS A PART OF IMAN

Classified fabricated by aghaani.

This fabricated khabar promotes nationalism. At preent nationalism is a cancer in the body of the ummah, which stunts the spiritual and economical growth of the ummah. This fabricated khabar causes Muslims to call themselves British Muslim, Pakistani Muslim, Indian Muslim, Arab Muslim etc. So they see themselves as Indian first and Muslim last.

These expressions enhance prejudices and deviations among the believers. The only time a country is worth loving is when Shari’ah being implemented in that country to its fullest. Hence we love and hate for the Allah’s sake.

NO.3: The Holy Prophet Muhammad {SM} was once returning from a battle with His companions and He turned to them and said, “ We have returned from the lesser Jihad to the greater Jihad, Jihad Akbar {to fight against your evil desires} is the greatest. “

Related by Bayhaqi and classified fabricated by Ibn Hajar who said this khabar is not a saying of a man by the name of Ibrahim Ibn Abee Ablah.

This hadith is frequently quoted by cowards andhypocrites who don’t want to die for Allah. In this regards :

“ Fighting is prescribed for you and you hate it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know “

{ Sura Al Baqarah : 216 }

In regards to Jihad and its importance to Holy Prophet Muhammad {SM} said :

“ He who died and didn’t do Jihad and didn’t makehisintentionto do Jihad ; died on a branch of hypocrisy. “ { Sahih Muslim }

The great Scholar of Islam Ibn-ul-Qayyim said this fabricated Hadith is obnoxious.

NO.4 : NECESSITY KNOWS NO LAW

Classified fabricated by Adh-Dhahabee

The scholars of Islam say this saying is not a hadith but instead it’s a saying of the Islamic jurist. Hence the meaning is authentic and it is permissible for the Muslims to act upon it. For example, Allah has given us the permission to eat pork if we are starving and there is nothing else by which we can eat to save ourselves. Thus Allah said :

“ Allah has forbidden you only the Maytata { animals that die by themselves } and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah or has been slaughtered for idols etc, or which Allah’s name hasn’t been mentioned while slaughtering. But if one is forced by necessity without disobedience nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin for him. Truly Allah is off forgiving Most Merciful “ { Sura Baqara : 173 }

Likewise we are allowed to renounce Islam when persecuted, the way Ammar Ibn Yaasir {RA} renounced Islam with his tongue when the arch enemy of Islam Abu Jahl was persecuting him for taking his shahadah.

Even though apostasy is the worst crime under the heavens we are allowed to apostate with our tongues to save our lives as long as our hearts are firm with Iman. In this regards Allah said,

“ Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced to do so while his heart is centred with Iman “ { Sura An Nahl : 106 }

The great commentator of the Holy Quran ibn Abbas said this ayah was revealed when Ammar Ibn Yaasir {RA} the apostate with his tongue due to the severe persecution Quraish unleashed against him for the sake of his Deen,Al-Islam.

Likewise even though alcohol is haram a person who is choking to death and didn’t find any liquid to drink except alcohol to save his life is allowed to so do so. Thus the khabar is a fiqh ruling used by the Islamic jurist past and present therefore its meaning is authentic that is necessity knows no law.
