2022-04-10 21:22:59 Issue: If he asks (someone) about who is the most knowledgeable in this area (of which a questioner is inquiring about), and he is directed to two people:
مَسْأَلَةٌ: وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ - إذَا سَأَلَ عَنْ أَعْلَمِ أَهْلِ بَلَدِهِ بِالدِّينِ:

One is ṣāḥib ḥadīth (ie: a muḥaddith who knows the narrations of the) Prophet ﷺ, and another is a ṣāḥib rāʿī wa qiyās (ie: person of opinion and analogical deduction),
هَذَا صَاحِبُ حَدِيثٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -: وَهَذَا صَاحِبُ رَأْيٍ وَقِيَاسٍ:

Then he should ask the person of ḥadīth,
فَلْيَسْأَلْ صَاحِبَ الْحَدِيثِ،

And it is not allowed for him to ask the person of opinion at all.
وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ صَاحِبَ الرَّأْيِ أَصْلًا.

The evidence for this is the Statement of Allah the Mighty and Majestic: {And today I have perfected for your your religion} [5:3]
بُرْهَانُ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ} [المائدة: 3]

And He the Exalted said: {So that you explaint to the people that which has been revealed to them} [16:44]
وقَوْله تَعَالَى: {لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ} [النحل: 44]

So this is the dīn (ie: religion that has been perfected and explained by Muḥammad ﷺ by way of narrations),
فَهَذَا هُوَ الدِّينُ،

And there is no religion but this,
لَا دِينَ سِوَى ذَلِكَ،

And al-rāʿī wa ʿl-qiyās al-dhan bāṭil (ie: opinions, analogical deductions, and speculation in the religion are invalid).
وَالرَّأْيُ وَالْقِيَاسُ ظَنٌّ وَالظَّنُّ بَاطِلٌ.

Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger ﷺ said: “Beware of al-dhan (ie: guess-work and speculation) is akḏab al-ḥadīth (ie: the most false of speech).”
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْجَسُورِ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَضَّاحٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ «إيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيثِ»

2022-04-10 08:54:21 ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Mahdī said: I asked Shuʿbah (b. al-Ḥajjāj) to explain allaḏī yutraku hadituhu (ie: who is the person whose narratives should be abandoned)?
قَالَ ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ: سُئِلَ شُعْبَةُ: مَنِ الَّذِي يُتْرَكُ حَدِيثُهُ؟

He replied: “man yuttahamu bi ʿl-kaḏib (ie: a person who is blamed of lying),
قَالَ: مَنْ يُتَّهَمُ بِالْكَذِبِ،

man yukthiru ʿl-ġalat (ie: who makes many mistakes),
وَمَنْ يُكْثِرُ الْغَلَطَ،

who errs in a narrative which is agreed upon by all and still does not blame himself for this error and remains adamant on his mistake,
وَمَنْ يُخْطِئُ فِي حَدِيثٍ يُجْمَعُ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَا يَتَّهِمُ نَفْسَهُ وَيُقِيمُ عَلَى غَلَطِهِ،

And a person who rawá ʿan al-maʿrufīn bimā la yaʿrifuhu ʿl-maʿrufūn (ie: narrates from known people what these known people do not even know).”
وَرَجُلٌ رَوَى عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِينَ بِمَا لَا يَعْرِفُهُ الْمَعْرُوفُونَ.

2022-04-09 12:28:07 Ibrāhīm b. Adham reported: Abū ʾl-Dardāʾ said to (his wife) Umm al-Dardāʾ (may Allah be pleased with them both):
أخبرنا أبو علي حنبل بن علي بن الحسين بن الحسن السجزي مناولة وقرأ علي إسناده بهراة أنا أبو محمد أحمد بن محمد بن أحمد البوني أنا أبو عبد الله أحمد بن محمد الشروطي ببست أنا أبو حاتم محمد بن حبان البستي أنا الحسن بن سفيان أنا إبراهيم بن [أيوب] الحوراني نا ابن مسلم نا سهل بن هاشم عن إبراهيم بن أدهم قال قال أبو الدرداء لأم الدرداء

“If I become angry, then try to please me.
إذا غضبت ترضيني

If you become angry, then I will try to please you.
وإذا غضبت رضيتك

Were we not to act this way, how quickly would we be separated!”
فمتى لم يكن هكذا ما أسرع ما نفترق

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ، قَالَا: ثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ مُرِيحِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ وَفِيكُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ جَائِعٌ؟»

2022-04-08 10:32:01 Sulaymān b. ʿĀmir reported from his father that Abū ʾl-Dardāʾ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The best worship place for a man is his home because he is able to restrain his tongue and his gaze in there,
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ: نِعْمَ صَوْمَعَةُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْتُهُ يَكُفُّ فِيهَا بَصَرَهُ وَلِسَانَهُ،

Refrain from going in to al-sūq (ie: the markets as the marketplace) deviates.”
