1) I want to know the meaning of the following Ahadith
Muwatta Imam Malik – Madeena
Book 45, Number 45.2.7:
Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father from Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr that Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, ‘Yemen will be conquered and the people will be attracted to it, taking their families and whoever obeys them. Madina would have been better for them, had they but known. Ash-Sham will be conquered and people will be attracted to it, taking their families and whoever obeys them. Madina would have been better for them, had they but known. will be conquered and people will be attracted to it, taking their families and whoever obeys them. Madina would have been better for them, had they but known.’ ”
Book 45, Number 45.2.8:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Himas from his paternal uncle from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Madina will be left in the best way that it is until a dog or wolf enters it and urinates on one of the pillars of the mosque or on the mimbar.” They asked, “Messenger of Allah! Who will have the fruit at that time?” He replied, “Animals seeking food, birds and wild beasts.”
2 )Secondly is the suicide Bombing or attack allowed if allowed then can civilians be targeted?
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
This hadith is from miracles of Nabi (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) in which he prophesized the sequence of events that will occur in the near future. The events occurred exactly how they were mentioned from the blessed lips of Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam). First was conquered, then Shaam, and thereafter
- Dajjal and plagues will not enter the holy city of
Madinah - The trials and tribulations will be less in Madinah in comparison with other places.
- Excluding Makkah, salah offered in Madinah is greater in reward than any other place.
- The blessing of being in close proximity to the holy grave of Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam).
This final blessing is the greater blessing as no other blessing can surpass this.
Hadith 2
This hadith indicates that a time will come in which the city of
Imam Nawawi says that the apparent and accepted view is that this incident will occur in the future at the end of time before Qiyamah. Abu Abdullah bin Arafah and Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani are also of this view.
Qadhi Ayadh is of the opinion that this incident has already occurred. Qurtubi and Allamah Zarqani also adopt this view.
3.
Muslims are commanded to respect civilians and refrain from harming them. The ahadith of Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) teach us to treat non-Muslims in such a manner that their lives and wealth are safe around the Muslims.
عن أبي هريرة ، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، قال المسلم من سلم المسلمون من لسانه ويده ، والمؤمن من أمنه الناس على دمائهم وأموالهم (رواه الترمذى وقال هذا حديث حسن صحيح و رواه النسائ فى سننه و احمد فى مسنده)
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, “A true Muslims is he from whom other Muslims are safe from his hands and speech. And a true believer is he from whom other people’s lives and wealth are in safety.
And Allah knows best
