32. "The most beloved of religions according to Allah the Most High is the 'easy and flexible religion.'" [Ahmad, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Did The Prophet (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) Supplicate Against the Crow?

 


Question:

I heard from a brother that, on the day of his emigration, the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) supplicated against a crow: "May Allaah blacken your face." Is this Hadeeth authentic? If it is authentic, why did the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) say that?
Answer:

This narration is a fabrication - as far as I know - the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) didn't supplicate against the crow, not during his emigration and not during any other time. But the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) did mention the crow in the Hadeeth concerning the five Fawasiq (vicious animals), which are to be killed, even when a person is in a state of Ihram, he (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said:
ÎãÓ ãä ÇáÏæÇÈ ßáåä ÝÇÓÞ íÞÊáä Ýí ÇáÍÑã ÇáÛÑÇÈ æÇáÍÏÃÉ æÇáÚÞÑÈ æÇáÝÃÑÉ æÇáßáÈ ÇáÚÞæÑ

"I here are five animals that are all Fawasiq and should be killed while not in Ihram and while in Ihram: the crow, the kite (a kind of bird), the scorpion, the mouse, and the ferocious dog." (Al-Bukhari no. 1829 and Muslim no. 1198)
