Would that one day I would drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama and Tafil (two mountains at Makka) would appear to me.' Then I came and informed Allah's Apostle هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى about that, whereupon he said, O Allah, make us love Madina as much or more than we love Makka.

(صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) narrated that a Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) Anas and became ill. The Prophet ( هللا عليه و آله وسلم (صلى went to pay him a visit and said to him, embrace Islam, and he did embrace Islam. Said bin Al-Musaiyab said, when Abu Talib was on his deathbed, the Prophet هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى visited him. Explanation There is a mention in the above Hadith that Sa id bin Al-Musayyab said, when Hadhrat Abu Talib visited him. There is (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) was on his deathbed, the Prophet (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) another Hadith in Bukhari narrated by Sa id in this context. It is in Hadih - Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyyib narrated from his father that when صلى هللا عليه ( Apostle the time of the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah's went to him and found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and Abdullah bin Abi (و آله وسلم (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. Allah's Apostle said to Abu Talib, O uncle! Say: there is no god but Allah, a sentence with which I shall be a witness for you before Allah. Abu Jahl and Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said, O Abu Talib, are you going to denounce the religion of Abdul Muttalib? Allah's Apostle هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى kept on inviting Abu Talib to say it while they (Abu Jahl and Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement till Abu Talib said as his last statement that he was on the religion of Abdul Muttalib هللا تعالی عنہ) (رضئ and refused to say, there is no god but Allah.' Then Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said, "I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So, Allah revealed - [ The Prophet ( هللا عليه و آله وسلم (صلى and the believers may not plead for the forgiveness of the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become apparent to them that they will be the inmates of Hell.] (At-Tauba - 113). (Bukhari, Book 23, Hadith # 114) Sa id Ibn al-musayyib who is reporting the above Hadith from his father, رضئ ہللا تعالی ( al-khattab was born in 642, during the caliphate of Umar Ibn.(عنہ BRIEF HISTORY (i) His name was (Abu Muhammad) Sa id Bin Al-Musayyib Bin Hazn Bin Abi Wahb Bin Amr Bin Aa id Bin Imran Bin Makhzoom. It is reported that the Grandfather of Sa id Ibn Musayyib accepted Islam on the hands of 9

14 Prophet هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى after migrating from Makka. This may have happened around 5/6 AH. It is reported that when the grandfather met the Prophet هللا عليه و آله وسلم),(صلى the Prophet هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى asked his صلى ( Prophet name. He informed that his name was Hazn (sorrow). The did not like the name and suggested him another name and (هللا عليه و آله وسلم said, name yourself Sahl (easy going). On this, his grandfather refused, saying, his name is given by his father and he will not change it. It is most likely that the father of Sa id Bin Al-Musayyib was a small child, around 5/6 years old at that time and traveled along with his father (the grandfather of Sa id) to Madina and embraced Islam along with his father. This is based on the fact that Sa id bin Musayyib was born to him in 642 AD two years before the death Hadhrat Umar ( ہللا تعالی عنہ (رضئ when his age was around 20/25 years. These facts clearly indicate that Sa id bin Musayyib s father was not born at the time of the death of Hadhrat Abu Talib ( ہللا تعالی عنہ,(رضئ which happened three years before the Prophet s immigration to Madina. Or at the most, he was an (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) infant/toddler at that time. (ii) After the martyrdom of Imam Hussain السالم) (عليه in Karbala, Abdullah ibn Zubair ( ہللا تعالی عنہ (رضئ revolted against Yazid bin Muawiya. The people of Madinah sided with him but Sa id Ibn al-musayyib refused to side with Imam Az-Zubair ( ہللا تعالی عنہ (رضئ or give him baya. When this news reached Az-Zubair ( ہللا تعالی عنہ,(رضئ he said, leave him and do not force al- Musayyib for baya. (iii) After Yazid s army defeated Abdullah Ibn Zubair ( ہللا تعالی عنہ,(رضئ they ransacked Madina. This was followed by a brutal massacre of civilians throughout Madina. They used Prophet s هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى mosque as a Stable for their horses for three days during their killing spree and no Salah was conducted in the Mosque during that time. However, Ibn Musayyib continued his life as usual and walked to the Mosque and reportedly prayed there 5 times a day. Yazid s army did not touch him. He later claimed that they thought him to be crazy?? (iv) After the death of Yazid, Marwan and his sons came to power. During their reign, they also did not touch him. Even the infamous tyrant Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf Ath-Thaqafi, the Governor of Hijaz under Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan, did not touch him. (v) Ibn Quley reported that once he was in the company of Sa id bin Musayyib. On the instance of Ibn Al-Mussayyib, he went to Abdul Malik in Syria, and informed him that he has come from Al-Musayyib. When 10

15 Abdul Malik knew that he was sent by Ibn Musayyib, he treated him extremely well in the palace. Abdul Malik inquired about the wellbeing of Ibn Al-Musayyib and gave him a lot of money, more than sufficient to clear of his debts. During the visit, he informed Abdul Malik about certain dream seen by someone known to Ibn Al-Musayyib and its interpretation by Ibn Al-Musayyib as good news to the King. The references for the brief history mentioned above, are as follows. (i) Abu Nu`aym al-asbahani, Hilyatu al-awliyah, Beyrut, (ii) Ahmad Farid, Min I`lam al-salaf, (iii) Bayhaqi, Sho`ab al-iman, (iv) Dhahabi, Siyar A`lam al-nubala, Dar al-fikr, Lebanon, (v) Dhahabi, Ta rikh al-islam, (vi) Ibn al-jawzi, Safwatu al-safwa, Maktabatu Nizar Al-Mustafa Baz, (vii) Ibn al-jawzi, Usd al-ghabah, Dar al-kutub al-ilmiyyah, Beirut, (viii) Ibn Kathir, Al-Bidayah wa al-nihayah, Maktabatu al-ma`arif, Beyrut, (ix) Ibn Khaldun, Ta rikh, (x) Ibn Khalikan, Wafayat al-a`yan, translation Moin al-haq, Pak Historical Society, (xi) Mizzi, Yusuf bin Zaki,Tahdhib al-kamal, (xii) Safadi, Al-Wafi bi al-wafayat. As we have described above, Ibn Musayyib s father was not born at the time of the death of Hadhrat Abu Talib هللا تعالی عنہ),(رضئ or at the most he may have been an infant then, therefore, it is not likely that he even knew about that episode. There can be two possibilities, in this context. (i) Ibn Musayyib s father heard the episode mentioned in the Hadith from his grandfather when he grew up. But the Hadith clearly says that it was narrated by Ibn Musayyib s father, and not from his grandfather. (ii) For argument sake, let us assume that Ibn Musayyib s father heard it from his grandfather. But this is also an impossibility because his grandfather was not present along with the other people at the time of death of Hadhrat Abu Talib ( ہللا تعالی عنہ.(رضئ Since he had not accepted Islam then, let us assume that he heard this story from Abu Jahl bin Hisham, Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira or someone else close to them. But this is also an impossibility because Hadhrat Abu Talib ( ہللا تعالی عنہ (رضئ was a father figure of Prophet Mohammad هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى and if the episode had indeed happened, as described in the Hadith, it would have made a great news in Makka and many people would have known about it, and it would have been a continuous narration by many people who accepted Islam later. But the fact is that no one has reported it except Ibn Al- Mussayyib. It is indeed intriguing. If this episode had indeed happened, 11

16 then at least Abu Sufyan ( ہللا تعالی عنہ,(رضئ who had not accepted Islam then, and who was closely associated with Abu Jahl and others, would have known about it and he would have narrated this episode, as he has narrated many things about his earlier life before Islam; like the episode of his conversation with Herculus. With the above facts in view, al-aini, in his commentary of Bukhari has remarked that this tradition is Mursal (Dha'eef). (Al Aini, Chapter Janaiz, Vol 4, Page 200). We cannot take a Mursal / Dha eef or a Hadith not based on facts, to.(رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہ ( Talib establish unbelief of Hadhrat Abu There is another, profoundly serious issue with the above Hadith. Verse 113 of Sura at-tauba is mentioned in this Hadith and it is claimed that it.(رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہ ( Talib was revealed at the time of the death of Hadhrat Abu We have provided this verse below. م ا ك ا ن ل لن ب ي و ال ذ ي ن آم ن وا أ ن ي س ت غ ف ر وا ل ل م ش ر ك ي ن و ل و ك ان وا أ ول ي ق ر ب ى م ن ب ع د م ا - Quran It is in and the believers (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) [The Prophet ت ب ي ن ل ه م أ ن ه م أ ص ح ا ب ال ج ح ي م may not plead for the forgiveness of the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become apparent to them that they will be the inmates of Hell.] (At-Tauba - 113) It is a consensus (Ijma) of all scholars and A'imma that the entire Surah at- Tauba (Bara'a) was revealed in Madina araound 9 AH. It is in Hadith - Narrated Al-Bara -The last Sura that was revealed was Bara'a. (Bukhari, Kitabut Tafseer, Vol 6, # 129, Muslim, Kitab al-faraidh) The above fact is also mentioned in (i) Tafseer al-qurtubi (Vol. 8, Page 49), Shawkani (Vol 3, Page 316) and many other Tafaseer. As-Sawi has written on the Hashiya (gloss) on the tafseer Jalalayn, as follows: "This sura (at-tauba) was sent down as a whole (in 9 AH). The Apostle of Allah ( ہللا عليه و آله وسلم (صلى said, the Qur'an was sent down ayah by ayah except for Surat Bara'a (sura at-tauba) and the sura (Ikhlas) 'Say: He is Allah, One' (112). They were sent down accompanied by seventy thousand angels." The death of Hadhrat Abu Talib ( ہللا تعالی عنہ (رضئ occurred in 619 AD, the year of sorrow ( الحزن,(عام which was three years before Hijra. 12

17 رضئ ہللا تعالی ( Talib Thus, the difference between the death of Hadhrat Abu and revelation of Sura at-tauba (and of course the above verse) is 12 (عنہ long years. How this verse got added in the narration of the above Hadith is not known. In view of these facts, the above Hadith is clouded in uncertainty and therefore will be preserved.

He mounted me behind him and went to visit Sa`d bin 'Ubada (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) and that had been before the battle of Badr. The Prophet,(رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) proceeded till he passed by a gathering in which Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that 15

20 had been before Abdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, ie., idolators and Jews. Abdullah bin Rawaha هللا تعالی عنہ) (رضئ was also present in that gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered the gathering, Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper garment and said, do not trouble us with dust. The Prophet هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى greeted them, stopped, and dismounted. Then he invited them to Allah (to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On that, Abdullah bin Ubai said, O man, there is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do not trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your رضئ هللا ( Rawaha house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him there. On that Abdullah bin gathering, bring your teachings to our,(صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) said, yes, O Allah's Apostle (تعالی عنہ for we love that. So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till they were about to fight. The Prophet هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (صلى kept on quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin Ubada have you not heard what Abu Hubab,(رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) He said to him O Sa`d.(رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ),(صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) said, O' Allah's Apostle (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) (Abdullah bin Ubai) said?

The people of this town Madina had decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his head, but when that was prevented by the truth which Allah had given you, he (Abdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out of jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way you have seen.

23 رضئ هللا ( Abbas said, go away, Narrated 'Ubaidullah, Ibn (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) Allah's Apostle was (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) used to say, it was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle (تعالی عنہ prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise. Explanation The above Hadith is reported by Ibn Shihab Az-Zuhri. Ibn Sa'd reported an account purporting to be in az-zuhri's own words in which he described that he left his home in Madina and went to Syria to serve Umayyed ruler Abdul Malik and he worked for the Court of Umayyeds until his death. There are differences of opinion among scholars about the authenticity of Az-Zuhri in the narrations of Ahadith, particularly in Ahadith related to Hadhrat Ali ( هللا تعال ی عنہ (رضئ as he served the Umayyed court throughout his life. That time Hadhrat Ali ( هللا تعالی عنہ (رضئ was abused and accused from the pulpit of the mosques all over the Islamic State. In his famous letter to Malik ibn Anas ( هللا تعالی عنہ,(رضئ Laith Ibn Sa`d wrote Ibn Shihab would give many contradicting statements when we would meet him. While if any one of us would ask him something in writing, he, despite being so learned, would give three contradictory oral answers to the same question. He would not even be aware of what he had said about the issue in the past. This is what prompted me to give up what you do not approve of (quoting a narrative on the authority of ibn Shihab). It is evident from the above that it is difficult to form an opinion based on certain narrations of scholars who served the Umayyed rulers during their lifetime. It is obvious that they could not displease the rulers they were serving.
