| HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
(SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM) |
| |
Abu
Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) or may be Abu Sa`id
Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: On the
day of the battle of Tabuk, the Muslims were hard pressed
by hunger and they asked Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu
Alayhi Wa Sallam): "O Messenger of Allah, grant us
permission to slaughter our camels to eat and use their
fat". He (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) accorded permission.
On this `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) came and said:
"O Messenger of Allah, if it is done, we shall suffer
from lack of transportation. I suggest you pool together
whatever has been left and supplicate Allah to bless it.''
Allah will bestow His Blessing upon it. Messenger of Allah
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) agreed and called for leather
mat and had it spread out, and asked people to bring the
provisions left over. They started doing it. One brought
a handful of corn, another brought a handful of dates, a
third brought a piece of bread; thus some provisions were
collected on the mat. Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi
Wa Sallam) invoked blessings, and then said, "Now take
it up in your vessels". Everyone filled his vessel
with food, so that there was not left a single empty vessel
in the whole camp. All of them ate to their fill and there
was still some left over. Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu
Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, "Any slave who meets Allah,
testifying there is no true god except Allah, and that I
am His Messenger, without entertaining any doubt about these
(two fundamentals), will not be banished from entering Jannah.''
[Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith mentions a miracle of the Prophet (Sallallahu
Alayhi Wa Sallam) and the effect of his prayer by means
of which a small quantity of food sufficed the whole army.
The exact number of Muslims who took part in the battle
of Tabuk is not mentioned in any reliable account. Al-Hafiz
Ibn Hajar has stated, with reference to some narratives
of Fath Al-Bari mentioned in connection with the biography
of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and the wars
he had fought in the way of Allah, that they numbered thirty
to forty thousand men.
Although
these figures are open to question but one can safely infer
from these figures that their number was very large. According
to Sahih Al-Bukhari: "A large number of Muslims participated
with the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) in this war.
Their number was so large that they could not be described
in a register. It was difficult for the Prophet (Sallallahu
Alayhi Wa Sallam) to discover who was absent except that
he was informed about him by Allah.'' (Sahih Al-Bukhari,
Kitab Al-Maghazi, Bab Ghazwah Tabuk, Hadith Ka`b bin Malik).
This extract goes to prove that although the number of Muslims
who took part in this war was very large the provisions
weighing a few seers only sufficed for them all.
We
also learn from this Hadith that one who is blessed with
the Grace of Allah, can offer advice to a person who is
superior to him on this account. Similarly, the one who
is superior in virtue should listen to the advice of those
who are inferior to him because there is every possibility
that their advice may offer something better. It does not
harm either of them. Neither does it detract from the superiority
of the superior nor can it be regarded an affront of a junior.

The
Nature of the Unseen
-------------------------
It
seems that the Master of Mirth and Chief of the Dervishes,
Nasrudin, was once called to pontificate on the 'Nature of
Allah' in the local mosque. Present were the many Imams and
Doctors of the Islamic Law. Out of courtesy and because Nasrudin
could not be counted on saying anything worthwhile, these
illustrious guests explained and inspired the audience with
their eloquence and wisdom.
Finally it was Nasrudin's turn to explain 'the Nature of Allah'.
"Allah
...", started Nasrudin impressively "is ..."
Nasrudin
removed and held up an ovoid mauve vegetable from the folds
of his turban, " ... an aubergine."
There
was uproar at this blasphemy. When order was finally established,
Nasrudin was reluctantly asked to explain his words.
"I
conclude that everyone has spoken of what they do not know
or have not seen. We can all see this aubergine. Is there
anyone who can deny that Allah is manifest in all things?"
Nobody
could.
"Very
well," said Nasrudin, "Allah (His Signs) can be
seen in an aubergine."
Do
not talk about things you do not know about.
If you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at all.
People know as much about Allah as a chick that is still inside
the egg.
One can demonstrate but not describe the nature of Allah. |
