QuizTime(87): Which Prophet, prayed to Allah from the belly of the Whale?

 

Ans: Yunus(pbuh).

The Qur'an says in Surat As-Saffat: "And Jonah was also one of the Messengers, when he fled to the laden ship. He (agreed to) cast lots and he was of the rebutted. Then the whale swallowed him, and he was blameworthy. Had he not been of those who glorify God, he would certainly have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection. So, We cast him out upon the bare shore in a state of sickness, and We caused to grow over him a marrow plant. And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more, and they believed, so We bestowed on them provision until their appointed time." (Qur’an ch 37 verse 139-148)

QuizTime (86): Who chewed the liver of Hamzah bin ‘Abd-Al-Muttalib(r.a) ?

 

QuizTime (86): Who chewed the liver of Hamzah bin ‘Abd-Al-Muttalib(r.a) ?

 

Ans: Hind bint ‘Utbah(R.A)(May Allah please with her)

 

It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, about the events of the Battle of Uhud, as cited by Imaam Ahmad and others. It says, "They looked and, behold, Hamzah's belly was cut open, and Hind had taken his liver and chewed it but could not eat it." Note: Hadith authenticity is questionable.

 The woman was Hind bint ‘Utbah, who later embraced Islam and became a righteous Muslim woman. She, may Allah be pleased with her, made the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and earned the pleasure of her Lord.

 The reason for her actions was narrated in the book Dalaa'il An-Nubuwwah by Al-Bayhaqi; she had made a vow to eat his liver when he killed her father in the Battle of Badr.

 In general, the authenticity of the story of Hind eating the liver of Hamzah is questionable. Even if it is assumed that the story is authentic, she (Hind) later embraced Islam and became a good and righteous Muslim; verily, Islam wipes out all past sins committed before it, as stated in the authentic hadeeth that was cited in Saheeh Muslim.

Source :   Islamweb.net

 “Wahshi”(r.a).  “Hamzah, may Allah be pleased with him, had killed Tu‘aymah bin ‘Adiyy bin Al-Khiyaar at the Battle of Badr, so my master, Jubayr bin Mut‘im said to me, “If you kill Hamzah in revenge for my paternal uncle, you will be set free.” 

 There are many people blame directly to “Hind bint ‘Utbah(R.A)” for killing for  Hamzah(R.a) which is incorrect.

Lesson:

 The once vicious enemies of Islam, Abu Sufyan (ra) and Hind (ra) began to work to promote it . The lady who used to sing fierce poetry for the opponents of the Prophet (sa), now recited Quranic verses to keep the morale of Muslim soldiers high. Such is the fruit of guidance!She was present at the Battle of Yarmuk, and narrated several ahadeeth that were recorded and authenticated in various books of ahadeeth.

 At one point, when arrows started raining down on Abu Sufyan and he tried to turn his horse away, Hind struck his horse in the face with a tent-peg and said: “Where do you think you’re going, O Sakhr? Go back to battle and put effort into it until you compensate for having incited people in the past against Muhammad.”(pbuh) An arrow later hit Abu Sufyan in the eye and he became blind.

 Her transformation a true inspiration for all of us.

 Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."[Al-Qur’an ch 39 Verse 53]

QuizTime (85): Which Surah & its sisters surahs turned Prophet (saw) hair grey and Number of grey hairs Prophet has on head & beard?

 

QuizTime (85): Which Surah & its sisters surahs turned Prophet (saw) hair grey and Number of grey hairs Prophet has on head & beard?

 

Ans: Surah Hud(11) its Sisters Al-Waqia (56), Al-Mursalat (77), An-Naba’ (78) and Al-Takwir (81).

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said that Surah Hud and its sisters turned his hair grey. The sisters of this Surah are: Al-Waqia (56), Al-Mursalat (77), An-Naba’ (78) and Al-Takwir (81). The evidence for this is the Hadith reported by Al Tirmizi and Al Hakim.  Al Zahbi considered this Hadith sound in his comments on Al Mustadrak.

 The Prophet, (pbuh), had a few white hairs on his head and beard, which were almost twenty in number. When he wore oil on his head and beard, the white hairs would not show, and vice versa. 

 It is makrooh to pluck grey hair from the head or moustache, because of the hadeeths narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) concerning that, such as: 

The report narrated by at-Tirmidhi from Ka‘b ibn Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever has one hair that turns grey in Islam, it will be light (noor) for him on the Day of Resurrection.” 

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi

QuizTime(84): Which Companion married two of Rasulullah's (pbuh) daughters?

 

QuizTime(84): Which Companion married two of Rasulullah's (pbuh) daughters?

 

Ans: Uthman Ibn Affan (radiallahu anhu).

1) Uthman (RA) was married to the Prophet's daughter, Ruqayya.

2) Ruqayya took ill in Madinah and died thereafter. Uthman was very sad. So the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) married his second daughter, Umm Kulthum (RA) to Uthman. This was a great honour. Uthman came to be known as "Thun Noorain," i.e. the possessor of two lights.

QuizTime (83): Which prophet’s people were ordered to share their wells water between them and She-Camel?

 

QuizTime (83): Which prophet’s people were ordered to share their wells water between them and She-Camel?

 

Ans: Prophet Saleh (Pbuh).

 Then they put forward their demand: Saleh AS should call upon his Lord to produce before them a she-camel with unique characteristics. According to their description, she should be tall and pregnant. Only if Saleh could bring them such a sign would they believe him.

 Saleh AS, being a prophet, was a compassionate man. Fearing Allah’s punishment towards his people, he longed to save them. As impertinent as their demand was, he earnestly hoped that its fulfilment might be the means of their salvation. And he prayed to Allah.

 All at once a pregnant camel matching his people’s description merged out of a rock on a hill. Saleh AS called her “Naqat-Allah”, Allah’s She-Camel, adding “Allah” to the word “naqah” to give her respect and honour

 Saleh AS then addressed his people, ordering them not to harm the she-camel and to allow her to graze freely. This order did not pose a problem, since the camel’s grazing would not lessen his people’s own food supply. But her drinking was a different matter, for due to the she-camel’s size, she would consume a great quantity of water from their wells. However, the divine order now came to Saleh AS to inform his people that the water that was given to them by Allah is to be shared between them and the she-camel.

 Saleh AS reminded his people of Allah’s abundant favours and blessings and he reminded them not to commit abuse nor spread corruption.

 For a time the she-camel enjoyed complete freedom of movement among the people, grazing freely. And as they been ordered, they also allowed her access to their water supply.

 She gave a huge amount of milk. It is narrated that this was in exchange for the water. Ibn Kathir cites a hadith stating that they used to drink their water one day and her milk the alternate day. And soon she gave birth to a male calf, who trailed along her side on long, unsteady legs.

QuizTime(81): Which Prophet of Allah met(on earth) maximum number of Prophets in his life time?

QuizTime(81): Which Prophet of Allah met(on earth) maximum number of Prophets in his life time?

 

Ans:  Isaac(Peace be upon Him).

 

Isaac (Peace be upon Him) met following prophets.

 

               1) Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) à Father

               2) Prophet Ismail (pbuh) à Brother

               3) Prophet Lut (pbuh) à cousin brother

               4) Prophet Yaqoob(pbuh)àSon

               5) Prophet Yusuf(pbuh)àGrandson

 

Family of Ibraaheem(pbuh).

         Other Prophets who were alive at the time of Ibraaheem (peace be upon him) were)

            Loot(pbuh)ànephew

            Ismaa’eel (pbuh)àSon

            Ishaaq, (pbuh) and àson

            Ya’qoob. (pbuh)àgrandson

 

 They met each other but it’s from Ya’qoob(pbuh), his son Yosuf(pbuh) blessed with  prophet hood and before Isaac(pbuh) death, Ya’qoob return to Isaac and they both lived at the place Harbon, where Ibrahim(pbuh) lived.

a    Prophet Lut(pbuh):   

       “And Lot believed him. [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to [the service of] my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."[Al-Qur’an ch 29 Verse 26]

“Allah tells us that Lut believed in Ibrahim. It was said that he was the son of Ibrahim's brother, and that his name was Lut bin Haran bin Azar. None of Ibrahim's people believed in Ibrahim besides Lut and Sarah the wife of Ibrahim”. [Tafsir ibn Kathir]

b)     Prophet Ishmael(pbuh): 

       "Once more Abraham thought of visiting his family he had left at Mecca and he told his wife (Sarah) of his decision. HE went and found Ishmael behind the Zam-zam well, mending his arrows. He said: 'O Ishmael, your Lord has ordered me to build a house for Him.' Ishmael said: 'Obey the order of your Lord.' Abraham said: 'Allah has also ordered me that you should help me therein.' Ishmael said: 'Then I will do so.' So both of them were saying:

"O our Lord! Accept this service of us, verily, You are the All Hearer, the All Knower." (Ch 2:127)

c)      Prophet Ishaq(pbuh):

The Quran does not give details of Isaac's life (pbuh), but reliable Quranic commentators mentioned that when Abraham felt that his life was drawing to a close, he wished to see Isaac married. He did not want Isaac to marry one of the Canaanites, who were pagans, so he sent a trustworth servant to Haran in Iraq to choose a bride for Isaac. The servant's choice fell upon Rebekah Bint Bethuel, Ibn Nahor (who was a brother of Abraham). Isaac married her and she gave birth to a set of twins, Esau (Al Eis) and Jacob (Yaqub).

d)     Yaqoob(pbuh):

This was the advice of Abraham—as well as Jacob—to his children, ˹saying˺, “Indeed, Allah has chosen for you this faith; so do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission.”[Al-Qur’an ch 2 verse 132]

It might be that Ibrahim advised his children, including Jacob, Isaac's son, who were present. It appears, and Allah knows best, that Isaac was endowed with Jacob, during the lifetime of Ibrahim and Sarah, for the good news includes both of them in Allah's statement,

(But We gave her (Sarah) glad tidings of Ishaq (Isaac), and after Ishaq, of Ya`qub (Jacob)) (11:71). Also, if Jacob was not alive then, there would be no use here in mentioning him specifically among Isaac's children. Also, Allah said in Surat Al-`Ankabut, (And We bestowed on him (Ibrahim), Ishaq and Ya`qub, and We ordained among his offspring prophethood and the Book.) (29:27), and, (And We bestowed upon him Ishaq, and (a grandson) Ya`qub) (21:72), thus, indicating that this occurred during Ibrahim's lifetime. Also, Jacob built Bayt Al-Maqdis, as earlier books testified. The Two Sahihs recorded that Abu Dharr said, "I said, `O Messenger of Allah! Which Masjid was built first' He said, (Al-Masjid Al-Haram (Al-Ka`bah).) I said, `Then' He said, (Bayt Al- Maqdis.) I said, `How many years later' He said, (Forty years.)'' Further, the advice that Jacob gave to his children, which we will soon mention, testifies that Jacob was among those who received the advice mentioned in Ayat above (2:130-132).

The Sons of Ya’qoob(pbuh)

Jacob's sons were twelve men. From Leah there were Rueben (Robil), Simon (Shamun), Levi (Lawi), Judah (Yahudh), Issachar (Isakher), and Zebulun (Zablun). From Rachel there were Joseph (Yusuf) (pbuh) and Benjamin. From Rachel's slave there were Dan and Naphtali (Neftali),and from Leah's slave there were Gad and Asher.

Isaac's Death

Jacob came to his father Isaac and settled with him in the village of Hebron which lies in the land of Canaan where Abraham had lived. Then Isaac fell ill and died when he was one hundred eighty years old. his sons Esau and Jacob buried him with his father Abraham Al Khalil in a cave which he had bought. It was said that Abraham died at the age of one hundred seventy five.

 

Callouts:  Al-Isra' Wal-Mi'raj:  Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) led other prophets in  prayer but Al-Isra  was miracle & this was completely different than the general scenario, when we said “On Earth” which means excluding “Al-Isra’ Wal-Mi’raj”. 

All those who answered as “prophet Mohammed(pbuh)” also correct but we are referring within the life span of all prophets on earth.

 Allah knows the best.
