Commentary

Translating the Hadith incorrectly

Q: I came across a hadith muttafaqun alay about the slandering on Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha), after that it was said that the behaviour of Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) towards Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha) changed and he used to say 'how is that one?' which hurts Ayesha (Radhiyallahu Anha) very much, when she didn't know about her accusation.

Can you please explain to me why would Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) have uttered these statement and what does it really mean? It is confusing me very much.

Doubts regarding a Hadith

Q: I have a question. There is a hadith that a sinful woman got Jannah because she quenched a dog's thirst. Now my question is today, so many kafir people are donating money and we heard about the hardwork of Florance nightingale and Mother Teresa. What about them? We didn't hear that she used to worship Allah or repent. So what is the objective of this hadith? Even if someone is kafir or dont pray would they have hope to get Jannah?

Hadith explanation

Q: I have three questions:

1. Our Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said like this that to say If I did this that could happen theses types of sayings is shaitans words. But why its said that if you do this, this will happen such as  if I have a simple niqah it will be full of baraqah. Then when someone doesn't have a simple wedding and doesn't have baraqah.. Can't we say that if they had a simple wedding they would have baraqah? Why is it?

2. There's a hadith that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)'s time there used to be beggars who had money but yet they used to beg, Prophet (pbuh) said that it would bring them jahannam but He used to give them money as Allah didn't like misery for him. Nowadays there is a business of begging, when someone is begging we feel that they are related to business. If we give them money isn't it promoting the business? Whom should we give money to? If someone asks can we reject them?

3. Is working in credit debit section in bank haram? If my husband works in it what can I do as a wife?

Explanation of a Hadith

Q: Is this hadeeth saheeh, and what does it mean: “Do not write anything from me, and whoever writes anything but the Qur’aan, let him erase it”? Also Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu Anhu) at one point was not sure whether to keep what he knows of hadiths or not. He had collected 500 hadiths during very long companionship with the prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), but he could not sleep the night until he burned them”. Could you please explain this to me.

Explanation of a narration

Q: I have a question. Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book 'Humility in Prayer' on last chapter he described a hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurayrah (Radiyallahu Anhu) that Israfeel (Alayhis Salaam) visited the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and Jibreel (Alayhis Salaam) and descended on earth for the first time from his creation. But the angels who visited Ibraheem (Alayhis Salaam), the guests, I found the name Israfeel (Alayhi Salaam) there. Please I hope you'll clarify this matter.

Leaning and eating

Q: I heard an Aalim say that the Kitaabs of hanafi fiqh state that there is no problem with eating while leaning.

1.What does this mean?

2. The Hadith that mentions we must not lean and eat. What type of leaning does it refer to?
