RIYADH-US-SALEHEEN CHAPTER 18 TO 20:URDU 105 TO 111 (PART 111) ENGLISH;49 to 50 (PART 51)
18. Chapter: On the prohibition against innovations and new matters
Allah Almighty says, "And what is there after truth except misguidance?" (10:32)
and the Almighty says, "We have not omitted anything from the Book." (W6:39; H6:38)
The Almighty says, "If you have a dispute about something, refer it back to Allah and the Messenger" (W4:58; H4:59) i.e. the Book
and the Sunna,
and the Almighty says, "This is My Path and it is straight, so follow it. Do not follow other ways or you will become cut off from His
Way." (W6:154; H6:153)
The Almighty says, "Say: 'If you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you and forgive you for your wrong actions," (3:31)
and the ayats about this topic are numerous and well-known.
169. 'A'isha said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who introduces an
innovation in this affair of ours which is not part of it, it will be rejected." [Agreed upon]
In a variant of Muslim, "Anyone who does an action which is not in accordance with this affair of ours will be rejected."
170. Jabir said, "While the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was delivering an address, his eyes would
become red, he would raise his voice and he would become very angry until he was like someone admonishing an army. He would
say, "(Guard youselves against attack) in the morning and the evening.' He would say, 'I have been sent at a time when I and the
Last Hour are like these two,' and he joined together his index finger and middle finger.' He would say, 'Following on from that:
the best speech is the Book of Allah. The best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
The worst of matters are the new ones, and every innovation is misguidance.' Then he would say, 'I am more entitled to every
believer than his own self. Whoever leaves property, it is for his family. Whoever leaves a debt or family, it is for me and on me."
[Muslim]
Al-'Irbad ibn Sariyya has his hadith which is in the Chapter on Following the Sunna (157).
19. Chapter: On the one who makes a good or bad sunna
Allah Almighty says, "Those who say, 'Our Lord, give us joy in our wives and children and make us a good example for those who
have taqwa." (25:74)
and the Almighty says, "We made them leaders, guiding by Our command." (W21:72; H21:73)
171. Abu 'Amr Jarir ibn 'Abdullah said, "Once we were with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, at
the beginning of the day when some people came, barefoot, wearing striped garments or cloaks, girded with swords. Most of
them were from Mudar, indeed, all of them were from Mudar. The face of Messenger of Allah hanged because his concern at

what he saw of their extreme need. He went inside and then came out and commanded Bilal to give the adhan and the iqama. He
prayed and then spoke and said, 'O mankind! have taqwa of your Lord who created you from a single person' to the end of the
verse, 'Allah watches over you continually.' (4:1) and the other verse which is at the end of al-Hashr, 'O you who believe! Have
taqwa of Allah, and let each self look to what it has sent forward for Tomorrow.' (59:18) 'Let a man give from his dinars and his
dirhams, from his clothes, from the sa' of his wheat, from the sa' of his dates, even,' he said, 'a half of a date.' A man of the Ansar
brought a bag which he could barely get his hand round, indeed, he could not. Then the people came one after another until I saw
two heaps of food and clothes and I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah shining as if it was illuminated. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Anyone who creates a good sunna in Islam has its reward and the reward of
whoever does it after him without that decreasing his reward in any way. Anyone who creates a bad sunna in Islam bears its
burden and the burden of whoever acts by it after him without that decreasing his burden in any way." [Muslim]
172. Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No self is unjustly killed without
responsibility for it falling on the elder son of Adam because he was the first to make a sunna of murder." [Agreed upon]
20. Chapter: On showing the way to good and calling to guidance or misguidance
Allah Almighty says, "Call people to your Lord," (28:87)
and the Almighty says, "Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition," (16:125)
and the Almighty says, "Help each other to goodness and taqwa," (5:2)
and the Almighty says, "Let there be a community among you who call to the good." (3:104)
173. Abu Mas'ud 'Uqba ibn 'Amr al-Ansari al-Badri reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "Anyone who shows the way to something good has the same reward as the person who does it." [Muslim]
174. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who calls people
to guidance has the same reward as that received by those who follow it, without that decreasing their reward in any way. Anyone
who calls people to misguidance, is attributed with wrong actions the the same as those of those who follow it, without that
decreasing their wrong actions in any way." [Muslim]
175. Abu'l-'Abbas Sahl ibn Sa'd as-Sa'idi reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said on
the Day of Khaybar, "I will give the banner tomorrow to a man at whose hands Allah will conquer. He loves Allah and His
Messenger and Allah and his Messenger love him." They spent the night wondering who it would be given to, and in the morning
the people came to the Messenger of Allah, all of them hoping to get it. He said, "Where is 'Ali ibn Abi Talib?" He was told, "He has
something wrong with his eyes." He said, "Send for him." He was brought and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, spat in his eyes and made supplication for him, and it was healed as if there had never been anything wrong with
him. He gave him the banner. 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Messenger of Allah, shall I fight them until they become
the same as us?" He said, "Take it easy until you alight in their quarter and then invite them to Islam and tell them what is
incumbent on them regarding the rights of Allah Almighty. By Allah, for one man to be guided by you is better for you than having
red camels." [Agreed upon]
176. Anas reported that a lad from Aslam said, "Messenger of Allah, I want to go on an expedition, but I do not have the
wherewithal with which to prepare myself. He said, 'Go to so-and-so. He has made preparations but has fallen ill.' He said, 'The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, greets you and says to give me what you have prepared.' He said, 'Girl, give him what I have prepared and do not hold anything back. By Allah, you should not hold back any of it and it will be a
blessing for you.'" [Muslim]
