Hadith

Q: I would like to know if the following Hadith is authentic? "The Imam who will create a world state will make the ruling nations pay for their crimes against society. He will bring succor to humanity... He will teach you simple living and high thinking. He will make you understand that virtue is a state of character which is always a mean between the two extremes, and which is based upon equity and justice. He will revive the teaching of the Holy Qur'an and the traditions of the Holy Prophet after the world has ignored them as dead letters.... He will protect and defend himself with resources of science and supreme knowledge. His control over these resources will be complete. He will know how supreme they are and how carefully they will have to be used. His mind will be free from desires of bringing harm and injury to humanity. Such a knowledge to him will be like the property which was wrongly possessed by others and for which he was waiting for the permission to repossess and use. He, in the beginning, will be like a poor stranger unknown and uncared for, and Islam then will be in the hopeless and helpless plight of an exhausted camel who has laid down its head and is wagging its tail. With such a start he will establish an empire of God in this world. He will be the final demonstration and proof of God's merciful wish to acquaint man with the right ways of life." - Islam (Shiite)- Nahjul Balagha, Khutba 141, 187

Q: I would like to know the meaning of these Hadith: Does the first Hadith state that the imam Mahdi will die when he comes? And does the second Hadith mean that there will be khilafat after the imam Mahdi? (Just like the holy prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) had?)

Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (ﷺ). He will descent. When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him. : Sunan Abi Dawud 4324 In-book reference : Book 39, Hadith 34

2nd Hadith : Prophethood will remain in you for as long as God decides for it to remain and then God will remove it when He decides to remove it. After prophethood, there will be a rule on the style of prophethood and it will exist for as long as God decides for it to exist, then He will remove it when He decides to remove it. Then there will be a kingdom in which people will face trials and tribulations and it will continue to exist for as long as God decides for it to exist. Then He will remove it, when He decides to remove it. After this, there will be an oppressive kingdom and it will continue to exist for as long as God decides for it to exist. Then He will remove it, when He decides to remove it. Then there will once again be a rule on the style of prophethood. After saying this, the Prophet (sws) was silent. 2 This narrative is reported on the authority of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamān – al-Nu‘mān ibn Bashīr – Habīb ibn Sālim – Dā’ūd ibn Ibrāhīm al-Wāsitī – Sulaymān ibn Dā’ūd al-Tiyālisī.

Q:

ومنها ما أخرجه الحاكم من حديث عائشة بسند قوي بلفظ " نهى أن يشرب من في السقاء لأن ذلك ينتنه " وهذا يقتضي أن يكون النهي خاصا بمن يشرب فيتنفس داخل الإناء أو باشر بفمه باطن السقاء ، أما من صب من القربة داخل فمه من غير مماسة فلا ، ومنها أن الذي يشرب من فم السقاء قد يغلبه الماء فينصب منه أكثر من حاجته فلا يأمن أن يشرق به أو تبتل ثيابه ، قال ابن العربي : وواحدة من الثلاثة تكفي في ثبوت الكراهة ، وبمجموعها تقوى الكراهة جدا فتح الباري

Do you think the first illat is found when drinking from bottles?

Q: It is all metaphorical and allegorical. Ibnu Abbas, the cousin of Prophet Muhammad (Sallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and one of the foremost authority on Quranic exegesis, said: "Nothing in Paradise resembles anything in the life of this world, except in name.''

In another narration, Ibn Abbas said, "Only the names are similar between what is in this life and what is in Paradise.''

What does this statement mean exactly? Does this mean that the descriptions of paradise are not meant to be taken literally and are simply metaphors?

Q: Is it permissible to take inspiration from the statements of fussaq and kuffar, if the statements contain wisdom? Can we use the hadith "Wisdom is the lost property of a believer" to justify this?

Q: In the Hadith a command is given to lengthen the beard and trim the moustache. I know that it is waajib to lengthen the beard, but what about the moustache?
