Quoting Religious matters
This morning a colleague of mine forwarded me the following text by declaring its a 'Hadith'.Actually he didnt declare it a 'Hadith',He just forwarded the mail.The content of email is:
Rasulullah (Sallalloho alaihe Wa-aalay wasallam) said:
"When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased.
When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakeer (names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith.
But the handsome man says, "He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise".
Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, "I am the Qura'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry.
After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief. When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) a silk bedding filled with musk.
Rasulullah (Sallalloho alaihe Wa-aalay wasallam) said:
"On the Day of Judgement, before Allah, no other intercessor will have a greater status than the Qura'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel Please keep forwarding this "Hadith" to all ...because Rasulullah(Sallalloho alaihe Wa-aalay
wasallam) said:
"Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one verse".
May Allah bestow this favour on all of us.
AAMEEN... AAMEEN...
Some Islamic sites like this one.
First of all I have no Intention to deny the Importance of recitation of Quran.My whole issue is that one doesn't use any good statement as 'Hadith' and spread to others.Majority of muslims dont have knowledge to authenticate a hadith.Therefore I request all muslim brothers and sisters that do make sure first when quoting hadiths.Specially hadiths about some problem and Fiqh problems.
Other thing is that if you find some hadith online or in book which has mentioned only name like Bukhari or Muslim,do make a little research about hadith names.For instance this website quoting hadiths about Quran:
..and the Qur'an is a proof for you or against you...(Muslim)
Offcourse its an authentic hadith and i did find exact reference of this hadith and others about benefit of Quran recitation:
Book 004, Number 1757:Source
Abu Umama said he heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: Recite the Qur'an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, al-Baqara and Surah Al 'Imran, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara, for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu'awiya said: It has been conveyed to me that here Batala means magicians.)
Other is:
Book 002, Number 0432:
Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fill upwhat is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves.
So please make sure first before forwarding any hadith to fellows.I stil DONT say that first one which got from email is NOT hadith.It could be a hadith ,its just i searched in 4 books not other three.But since this hadith is just telling importance or advantage of something rather giving some verdict about some prayer(salat,fasting,zakat etc) so its better that unles you are 100% sure dont forward it by saying Hadith.If you find something,read it and just kept to yourself because you are not sure its a genuine one,a week one or a fabricated one.More about different kind of hadiths can be checked here. Offcourse people who lie in name of ALlah and His Apostle(SAW) are damned by Allah and Messenger(SAW).The Prophet says:
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 106:
Narrated 'Ali:
The Prophet said, "Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then he will surely enter the Hell-fire."
In Quran Allah says:
"See ye what things Allah hath sent down to you for sustenance? Yet ye hold forbidden some things thereof and (some things) lawful." Say: "Hath Allah indeed permitted you, or do ye invent (things) to attribute to Allah?"(Quran 10:59)
Others sms/emails I often recieve about Mosque and Masjid are not equivalent terms and Mosque means house of Mosquitoes.tsk tsk how illetrate are we that we believe in such hoax blindly.
