QuizTime(156): Who was that Sahabiya, disputed with Prophet (saw) regarding her Husband and Allah revealed a Chapter?

 

Ans: Khuwaylah bint Tha`labah(r.a) & Chapter was revealed is “Surah Al-Mujadilah, Ch 58 verse 1-4.”

Al-Bukhari collected this Hadith without a chain of narration in the Book of Tawhid in his Sahih. An-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir also collected this Hadith. In the narration that Ibn Abi Hatim collected, `A'ishah said, "Blessed is He, Whose hearing has encompassed all things. I heard what Khawlah bint Tha`labah said while some of it I could not hear.

She was complaining to Allah's Messenger about her husband. She said, `O Allah's Messenger! He spent my wealth, exhausted my youth and my womb bore abundantly for him. When I became old, unable to bear children, he pronounced the Ziharon me! O Allah! I complain to you.' Soon after, Jibril brought down this Ayah,

(1.Indeed Allah has heard the statement of her that disputes with you concerning her husband.)''

(2. Those among you who make their wives unlawful to them by Zihar they cannot be their mothers. None can be their mothers except those who gave them birth. And verily, they utter an ill word and a lie. And verily, Allah is Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.)

(3. And those who make unlawful to them (their wives) by Zihar and wish to free themselves from what they uttered, (the penalty) in that case is the freeing of a slave before they touch each other. That is an admonition to you. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.)

(4. And he who finds not, must fast two successive months before they both touch each other. And he who is unable to do so, should feed sixty of the poor. That is in order that you may have perfect faith in Allah and His Messenger. These are the limits set by Allah. And for disbelievers, there is a painful torment.)[Al-Qur’an ch 58 Verse 1-4]

Ahmad recorded that Khuwaylah bint Tha`labah said, "By Allah! Allah sent down the beginning of Surat Al-Mujadilah in connection with me and `Aws bin As-Samit. He was my husband and had grown old and difficult. One day, he came to me and I argued with him about something and he said, out of anger, `You are like my mother's back to me.' He went out and sat with some of his people. Then he came back and wanted to have sexual intercourse with me.

I said, `No, by the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Khuwaylah! You will not have your way with me after you said what you said, until Allah and His Messenger issue judgment about our case.' He wanted to have his way regardless of my choice and I pushed him away from me; he was an old man.' I next went to one of my neighbors and borrowed a garment from her and went to the Messenger of Allah . I told him what happened and kept complaining to him of the ill treatment I received from `Aws.

QuizTime(155): Who was that Sahabiya used to recite poetry for Prophet (saw) & was Mother of Martyrs?

QuizTime(155): Who was that Sahabiya used to recite poetry for Prophet (saw) & was Mother of Martyrs?

 

 

Ans: Al-Khansaa(r.a)

According to the connoisseurs of Arabic poetry, there has never been a woman whose poetry was as replete with knowledge, or who was more knowledgeable  than Al-Khansaa'(r.a). The Prophet(pbuh), used to ask her to recite her poetry, which he admired, in front of him.  She composed a great deal of poetry, and the most eloquent of her poetry were odes in lamentation of her two brothers, Sakhr and Mu‘awiyah, who were killed during the pre-Islamic era.

She was recognized for her deep faith in Allah The Almighty and His Messenger, (pbuh), and her zeal for Jihad (struggle) in the cause of supporting the truth. She attended the Battle of Qadisiyyah in 16 AH, in the company of her four sons. During the first part of the night, she said to them,

"O my sons! You have embraced Islam willingly and emigrated freely. By Allah, other than Whom there is none worthy of worship, you are the sons of one man and one woman. I have never betrayed your father nor have I disgraced your maternal uncle, nor have I dishonored your noble lineage, nor have I tampered with your parentage. You indeed know the abundant reward prepared by Allah The Almighty for the Muslims. It should be known to you that the everlasting abode is better than the perishable abode. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.} [Quran 3:200]

Should tomorrow morning come upon you while you are safe, Allah willing, go early to fight your enemy with courage, and seek the support of Allah The Almighty against His enemies. When the battle becomes fierce, betake yourselves amidst it and be eager to fight bravely when the army is engaged in combat, perchance you receive gain and honor in the abode of eternity.”

Her real name was Tumadhir bint ‘Amr ibn Ash-Shareed ibn Al-Harith As-Sulamiyyah. She was nicknamed Al-Khansaa' because of her bent nose bone and narrow nostrils.

Al-Khansaa’ (r.a) was a model of eloquence, and faithful patience in aspiring for the reward of Allah The Almighty, and was a virtuous woman who continues to inspire generations.

QuizTime (154): Who was that Sahabiya defended Islam and Muhammed(pbuh) during Battel of Uhud?

 

QuizTime (154): Who was that Sahabiya defended Islam and Muhammed(pbuh) during Battel of Uhud?

 

 Ans: “Umm ‘Umaarah Nusaybah Al-Maaziniyyah” may Allah be pleased with her

 Defending Islam and the Messenger, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, with the Sword.

 Was the only woman who engaged in fighting in the Battle of Uhud. Dhamarah bin Sa‘eed reported on the authority of his grandmother who was giving water to the fighters in the Battle of Uhud, saying that she heard the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, saying: “The status of Nusaybah bint Ka‘b today is better than that of so-and-so and so-and so.” He said that because he saw her fighting fiercely, tying up her clothes up to her waist until she suffered thirteen wounds. When she died [in later years], I was among the women performing Ghusl [ritual purification] for her and counted all thirteen wounds of hers. [She added], I saw Ibn Qami‘ah hitting her shoulder and causing her a deep wound that she remained seeking a cure from for one year.

 When the caller of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, announced their march to Hamraa‘ Al-Asad, she put on her clothes to go, but she could not due to her bleeding. We stayed that night treating her wounds until the morning. When the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, returned from Hamraa’ Al-Asad and upon reaching his home, he sent ‘Abdullaah bin Ka‘b Al-Maazini, a brother of Umm ‘Umaarah, to ask about her.

 After asking about her, he returned to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and informed him that she was fine, and the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, was pleased to hear that. Husayn Al-Baakiri commented on the participation of Nusaybah bint Ka‘b, may Allah be pleased with her, in the battle, saying, “Concerning the setting out of women for participation in battle with men, the only authenticated narration was the story of Nusaybah. Nusaybah joined the fight under necessity when she saw the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, in danger after the retreat of the Muslims. Umm ‘Umaarah was in a situation in which carrying a weapon is obligatory on the one who is able to, regardless of the gender.”

QuizTime(153) who was that Sahabi, when his sword was broke down during the battle, when Prophet(pbuh) give him a branch and its turned into sword ?

 

UNAUTHENTIC HADITH. 

QuizTime(153) who was that Sahabi, when his sword was broke down during the battle, when Prophet(pbuh) give him a branch and its turned into sword ?

 

 

Ans: Ukashah bin Mihsan Al-Asdi(R.a)(Unauthentic or fabricated Hadith) 

 

Declared daeef by "Biography of Prophet Muhammad by Mahdi Rizkhullah" & also by Sahih As Seerah An Nabawiya by Shaikh Naasiruddin Albani.

Video link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r2XM6Or7P4

Fabricated narration follow as:  

"On the day of Badr, the sword of ‘Ukashah bin Mihsan Al-Asdi broke down so the Prophet (Peace be upon him) gave him a log of wood which he shook and it immediately turned into a long strong white sword. ‘Ukashah went on using that same sword in most of the Islamic conquests until he died in the process of the apostasy wars.[ Ar Raheeq Al Makhtum[The Sealed Nectar  page 112]

During the battle of ʿBadr, ʿUkâshah was fighting bravely with his sword. He fought and he fought till it broke. He came to our beloved Prophet (pbuh) for help. The Prophet (pbuh) gave him a dry branch of a tree and told him to fight with it. Wait, WHAT?! He asked him to fight a battle with a branch of a tree?

The faithful Companion ʿUkâshah took the branch and gave it a little shake. Having complete faith in the Prophet ﷺ and his Rabb, he turned to fight. Here the branch turned into a very strong and long white sword! This was one of the miracles of our Beloved ﷺ. The faithful Companion fought the rest of the battle with this miraculous sword until Allah Almighty bestowed victory on the Muslim army over the disbelievers

End quotation:  

The Status of Ukashah bin Mihsan Al-Asdi(R.a)

“…Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about the stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered his house without telling his companions who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started talking about the issue and said, "It is we who have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are either ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance.'' When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people are those who do not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do they get themselves branded (Cauterized). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that 'Ukasha bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Ukasha has anticipated you."[Sahi Bukhari Hadith 5705]

“…That talk reached the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, "These (70,000) are the people who do not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get treated by branding themselves and do not treat with Ruqya, but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin Muhsin got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Am I one of those (70,000)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, " 'Ukasha has anticipated you."[Sahi Bukhari Hadith 5752]

Note:  

There is one more Daeef/ UnAuthentic Hadith circulating saying during the prophet last time He demanded  revenge from prophet for getting hit by the prophet(pbuh)’s stick, when prophet offer himself to take his revenge, he Huge prophet and start kissing him(pbuh). It’s totally baseless and unauthentic Hadith, we should not trust it.

QuizTime(152) who discovered the location of Zamzam Well in Makkah ?

 

QuizTime(152) who discovered the location of  Zamzam Well in Makkah ?

 

 

Ans:   Abdul-Muttalib ibn Hashim (Grandfather of Prophet Muhammed(pbuh))

 The well of Zamzam originated for the sake of Isma’eel (pbuh) when he and his mother Hajar (Hagar) were overtaken by thirst, Allah the Almighty caused a stream of water to flow in the empty desert. Hajar contained the flowing water by building a mound around it and it turned into a well. At the time of leaving Makkah, the Jurhum tribe covered it with dust and so, for a long time it could not be traced. When the task of giving water to the pilgrims was entrusted to ‘Abdul-Muttalib, he started searching for it along with his elder son Harith, but their efforts proved fruitless.

One day, ‘Abdul-Muttalib saw the location of the well of Zamzam in his dream and started digging for it. There were two idols, ‘Isaf and Na’ilah kept at that spot. The Quraysh resented this disturbance and became hostile and ready to fight. Although they were only two, father and son, they prevailed over them and continued digging the well. Realizing his isolation, ‘Abdul-Muttalib invoked Allah the Almighty that in case He gave him ten sons, he would sacrifice one of his sons in the name of God. After a short period, the well appeared and he was also blessed with ten sons.

QuizTime(151): What was the first word of the Qur’an that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

 

QuizTime(151): What was the first word of the Qur’an that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

 

Ans: "Iqra"(Read, proclaim, recite).

There is a chapter named in the Qur'an Surah "Iqra" ch 96, also know as Surah Alaq.

Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) used to go to the cave of Hira' and devote himself to worship there for a number of nights, and he would bring provisions for that. Then he would return to Khadijah and replenish his provisions for a similar number of nights. This continued until the revelation suddenly came to him while he was in the cave of Hira'. The angel came to him while he was in the cave and said, "Read!'' The Messenger of Allah said.

« فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَنَا بِقَارِىء »

(I replied: "I am not one who reads.) Then he said, "So he (the angel) seized me and pressed me until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said: `Read!' So I replied: `I am not one who reads.' So, he pressed me a second time until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said:

(Read in the Name of your Lord who has created.) until he reached the Ayah,( مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ) (That which he knew not.)

So he returned with them (those Ayat) and with his heart trembling until he came (home) to Khadijah, and he said,(Wrap me up, wrap me up!) So they wrapped him up until his fear went away. After that he told Khadijah everything that had happened.

QuizTime(150) Under which Sahabi authority, a Muslim(who greeted them Salam) was killed due to misjudgment & Quran ayah revealed?

 

QuizTime(150) Under which Sahabi authority, a Muslim(who greeted them Salam) was killed due to misjudgment & Quran ayah revealed?

 

Ans: Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad(r.a)

 

Greeting with the Salam is a Sign of Islam. 

Muhammad ibn Jareer al-Tabari and others narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that this verse – “and say not to anyone who greets you (by embracing Islam): ‘You are not a believer’” [al-Nisa’ 4:94] – was revealed concerning Mardaas, a man from Ghatafaan. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent an army to his people, whose leader was Ghaalib al-Laythi, and his companions fled but he did not flee, and he said, I am a believer.  The cavalry came to him and he greeted them with salaam, but they killed him and took his sheep.[End]

“Imam Ahmad recorded that 'Ikrimah said that Ibn 'Abbas said, "A man from Bani Sulaym, who was tending a flock of sheep, passed by some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and said Salam to them. They said (to each other), 'He only said Salam to protect himself from us.' Then they attacked him and killed him. They brought his sheep to the Prophet ﷺ, and this Ayah was revealed,

“O ye who believe! When ye go abroad in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do.” [Al-Qur’an ch 4 Verse 94]

At-Tirmidhi recorded this in his (chapter on) Tafsir, and said, "This Hadith is Hasan.

"A man was tending his sheep and the Muslims caught up with him. He said, 'As-Salamu 'Alaykum.' However, they killed him and took his sheep. Allah revealed the Ayah.

Al-Bukhari recorded this shorter version without a complete chain of narrators. However a longer version with a connected chain of narrators has also been recorded. Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bazzar recorded that Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a military expedition under the authority of Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad and when they reached the designated area, they found the people had dispersed. However, a man with a lot of wealth did not leave and said, 'I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.' Yet, Al-Miqdad killed him, and a man said to him, 'You killed a man after he proclaimed: "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. By Allah I will mention what you did to the Prophet ﷺ.' When they went back to the Messenger of Allah, they said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Al-Miqdad killed a man who testified that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.' He said,

(Summon Al-Miqdad before me. O Miqdad! Did you kill a man who proclaimed, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah?" What would you do when you face, "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah tomorrow?") 

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Al-Miqdad,

(He was a believing man who hid his faith among disbelieving people, and he announced his faith to you, but you killed him, although you used to hide your faith before, in Makkah.)"

 Don't get confused with usaaamah bin Zayd(r.a) incident. These two are different incident.

Usaamah ibn Zayd killed the man who said Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him: “O Usaamah, did you kill him after he said Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah? O Usaamah, did you kill him after he said Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah? O Usaamah, did you kill him after he said Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah?” .
