The Wahhabi are laying fatwas towards muslims about Shirk and Biidath and Grave worship, and are using the Hadees quoted for the Pagan Graves in the early islamic times They dont know the difference between worshipping and adab, Also they dont know about the rules in the pre islamic period and in the islamic period , I am quoting now a highly authentic hadith from Sahih Muslim Abdullah b. Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said this: I prohibited you from visiting the graves, but (now) you may visit them, and I prohibited you (from eating) the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days, but now keep it as long as you like. I prohibited you from the use of Nabidh except (that preoared) in dry . Now drink (Nabidh prepared in any utensil), but do not drink when it becomes intoxicant. Sahih Muslim Book 22, Number 4866: Look at the sentence in the hadith I prohibited you from visiting the graves, but (now) you may visit them, Following is the adab of the grave of Holy Persons, Ambiya and Awliya , this is adab and not worship , I hope the wahabis can understand the difference Kissing and touching the grave "Ahmad Ibn Hanbal was asked about touching the Prophet's grave and kissing it and he saw nothing wrong with it. His son 'Abd Allah related this from him. If it is asked: "Why did the Companions not do this?" We (Imam Ahmad) reply: "Because they saw him with their very eyes when he was alive, enjoyed his presence directly, kissed his very hand, nearly fought each other over the remnants of his ablution water, shared his purified hair on the day of the greater Pilgrimage, and even if he spat it would virtually not fall except in someone's hand so that he could pass it over his face. Since we have not had the tremendous fortune of sharing in this, we throw ourselves on his grave as a mark of commitment, reverence, and acceptance, even to kiss it. Do you not see what Thabit al-Bunani did when he kissed the hand of Anas ibn Malik and placed it on his face saying: "This is the hand that touched the hand of the Messenger of Allah ? Muslims are not moved to these matters except by their excessive love for the Prophet as they are ordered to love Allah and the Prophet more than their own lives, their children, all human beings, their property, and Paradise and its maidens. There are even some believers that love Abu Bakr and 'Umar more than themselves. (Ad-Dhahabi, Mu'jam al-Shuyukh - 1:73 #58). Making Dua Facing the Grave Imam Malik was asked the following question by the Caliph Abu Ja`far al- Mansur: "Shall I face the Qibla with my back towards the grave of the Messenger of Allah S.A.S when making du`a (after salams)?" He replied: "How could you turn your face away from him when he is the means (wasila) of your and your father Adam's forgiveness to Allah on the Day of Resurrection? Nay, face him and ask for his intercession (Istashfi bihi) so that Allah will grant it to you as He said The verse of Surah Nisa (If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful). ( An-Nisa - 64). The above is narrated by al-Qadi `Iyad in al-Shifa (2:92-93). Subki in Shifa' al-siqam. Qastallani in al-Mawahib al-laduniyya. Ibn Jama`a in Hidayat al-salik. Haytami in al-Jawhar al-munazzam and Tuhfat al-zuwwar and others. Placing your forehead on the Grave. Narrated by al-Haakim that Abu Ayyub al-Ansari placed his forehead on the grave of Prophet Mohammad Marwan Ibn al-Hakam saw him and held his neck. Abu Ayyub said I did not come to the Stone. I came to the Messenger of Allah . I heard the Messenger of Allah say : Do not weep for Islam if the qualified people were in-charge, but weep for it, if it was under the charge of unqualified. (Al-Hakim related this Hadith in Mustadrak and said it is Sahih. ad-Dhahabi (who is held in great respect by Salafis) agreed to his authentication. Rubbing your Face against the grave It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ibn Majah, Ahmad, at-Tabarani, as-Subki and Ibn Asakir that : Mu`adh Ibn Jabal and Bilal came to the Grave of the Prophet and sat weeping and Bilal rubbed his face against the Grave of Prophet (Ibn Majah 2:1320, Ahmad, al-Tabarani, al-Subki, and Ibn Asakir). Resting your head on the Grave Yahya related from Imam Maalik that he heard that AIi Ibn Abi Talib used to rest his head on Graves and lie on them [meaning holding the grave with his stretched hands while his head, entire face and chest is rested on the Grave. Maalik said, "As far as we can see, it is only forbidden to sit on the Graves to relieve oneself. (Muatta' Imâm Malik - Book #16, Hadith #16.11.34) From the Above Hadees it is confirmed that Syedina Ali R.A. used to rest his head on the Grave , This is same Syedina Ali who had quoted in another hadees about levelling any grave and destorying any statue ,but from the above Hadees it is clear that When Syedina Ali R.A was takling about the levelling of Graves he was referring to the Graves of the Non Muslim Pagans which were taken for Worship and Idolized and these Graves were plenty in number. The same rules applies to The Awliya and the great Sahaba and Ahle bayt Qadi Abu Abdillah al-Husain Ibn Ali Ibn Mohammad as-Saymari told - He said: Umar Ibn Ibrahim al-Muqri told us: He said Ali Ibn Maymum told us : He said, I heard Imam Shafi'i say : I perform tabarruk by Abu Hanifah and come to his grave every day (meaning visit his grave everyday). If I needed something, I would pray 'rak'atan' (two rakah salah), come to his grave and ask Allah there. It would not be too long before my need was fulfilled. The above confirms the fact that Imam Shafi'i used to visit the grave of Imam Abu Hanifa daily and seek his mediation. Thus, Imam Shafi'i believes in visiting the graves and in tawassul and isteghatha from pious servants of Allah after their deaths. The other imams of fiqh and Ahadith never objected to people visiting the graves and seeking mediation. As a matter of fact, no one in Salaf and Khalaf ever objected to it,except this fitnah was started later. |
