Hadith

Q: I would like to know about authenticity of the following incidence, this dua is known as 'Hirz Abu Dujana'. Imam-i Baihaki says in his book Dalail-un- nubuwwa and Imam-i Qurtubi in his book Tazkira that Abu Dujana said, "I was lying down, when I heard a noise like the noise of a mill or that of the leaves of a tree and saw a flash like lightning. I raised my head to see something black that was rising in the middle of the room. I felt it with my hand. It was like a porcupine's skin. It began to throw things like sparks at my face. At once I went to Rasulullah and told him what had happened. He said, 'O Aba Dujana! May Allah give your home goodness and abundance!' He asked for a pen and a piece of paper. He had Ali 'radiAllahu anh' write a letter. I took the letter to my home. I put it under my head and went to sleep. A yelling voice woke me up. It said, 'O Aba Dujana! You have burned me with that letter. Your owner is certainly much higher than we are. There is no way of escape for us, except that you remove that letter. We shall no longer come to your home or your neighbors.' We cannot go to places where the letter is.' I told him that I could not remove the letter without getting my owner's permission. The night seemed very long to me because of the crying and wailing of genies. After performing the morning prayer in the mosque, I told Rasulullah what the genie had said. Rasulullah 'sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam' said, 'Remove the letter. Or else they will suffer the letter's pain till the Resurrection.'"

This dua is also found in Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi[RA] 's Bahishti Zewar.

I have also heard that some Fuqha have considered it as a fabrication, please explain its authenticity.

Q: Is there any proof of our kalimah sahada ‘Laa ilaaha illal-laahu Muhammadur rasu-lullaah’ in Quran and hadith? I have heard this is derived from Quran and Hadith but these complete words are not directly found in Quran and hadith, please clarify providing appropriate references.

Q: Please provide me the references of this hadith: "The reward of Salaah (Prayers) is multiplied 70 times if Miswaak was used before it."

Q: With regards to the recitation of Quran, I have found two different hadith:

1. Quran should be read not less then seven days:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: Wahb ibn Munabbih said: Abdullah ibn Amr asked the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him); In how many days should one complete the recitation of the Qur'an? He said: In forty days. He then said: In one month. He again said: In twenty days. He then said: In fifteen days. He then said: In ten days. Finally he said: In seven days. [Sunnah Abu Dawood]

2. Quran should be read not less then three days:

Abd Allah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (Allah be well pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "Whoever reads the Qur'an in less than three days does not understand (what he recited)" Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Nasa'i, Bhukari

I have the following question’s:

1. How do we reconcile and understand the about two narrations that mentions 7 days and other as 3 days?
2. Is there any authentic daleel to prove that Quran can be recited in less than 3 days ? Some people say to read Quran in less then 3 days is against the practice of sunnah.
3. I have heard that many salaf have completed Quran many times in less than 3 day? How can we say authenticate this practice and such reports.

Q: Please let me know the authenticity of this hadith and the book of hadith in which it is mentioned.

The Messenger of Allah, (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), said: "Whosoever memorises and preserves for my community forty hadith concerning matters of this religion, Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Judgment in the company of jurists and religious scholars."

I have heard many say this hadith is weak.

Also please explain the meaning of this hadith, does it mean:

1. One should memorize it in Arabic or his local language.
2. Does it mean one should memorize it by completely understanding it.
3. Does it mean one should memorize it by actually practising the hadith.

Q: Is there a Hadith stating that it is better to buy gold?

Q: Is it correct to say that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is the word of God?

Q: What is the virtue of having 3 daughters? Is there any virtues?

Q: What is the understanding of the Dua in which Nabi (Sallahu Alahi Wasalam) requested that whomsoever He (Sallahu Alahi Wasallam) has cursed, it should be made a blessing and mercy for the cursed?

Q: In ramadaan a fardh is multiplied 70, an sunnah equivalent to fardh. If a person were to do a sunnah act his whole life it will not equal to a fardh. If I am not mistaken so with the following two examples I would like to illustrate my view of the sunnah reward. Please advise me weather it is correct or not.

Example 1 : Something to this affect has been mentioned - if one recites surah sajdah and surah mulk between magrib and esha he would the reward of worship on the night of laylatul qadr, aprox 83 years. So now if one does this during any day of ramadaan, it is greater than him doing it his whole life. So it will be as follows 83 * 30  = 2490, 2490 *12= 29880, 29880*60= 1792800 so by a person reading these two surahs in ramadaan between magrib and esha will he be rewarded of a minimum of 1792800 years of worship?

Example 2 : Cleaning the musjid is the dowry for the hoors of jannah. So in this if a person in his entire life was picking up dirt from the musjid, it will not equal to a fardh act but now in ramadaan if he picks one up it will be greater to a person picking up one every second. So will the reward be as follows 1 year = 31 556 926 seconds. so  31 556 926*60= 1893415560 so will the person by picking one dirt in the musjid in ramadaan get 1893415560 hoors in jannah?

Correct me were ever needed and educate me if this is the reward we have been promised and does it apply to all sunnah actions
