Hadeeth: "You are my share of the Umam"


 بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

And what will be the answer of those who, after knowing the authenticity of the Hadeeth, still reject it because it goes against their Madhhab??!


Allaah تبارك وتعالى said:
وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا أَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ }

{And (remember) the Day (Allaah) will call to them, and say: “What answer gave you to the Messengers?”} [Surah al-Qasas (28): 65]

Shaikh al-Sa`dee رحمه الله said:
It means: “Did you believe them and followed them or did you belie them and opposed their teachings?”

Imaam Ahmad recorded a narration from Jaabir bin `Abdullaah رضي الله عنهما that `Umar bin Al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with a book that he took from some of the People of the Book. `Umar began reading it to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who became angry. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Are you uncertain about it O Ibn Al-Khattaab? By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! I have come to you with it white and pure. Do not ask them about anything, for they might tell you something true and you reject it, or they might tell you something false and you believe it. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! If Musa were living, he would have no choice but to follow me.”

[Musnad Ahmad (14736). This Hadeeth has been graded as “Hasan” (good) by Shaikh al-Albaanee in “تحريم آلات الطرب” (158) and in Irwaa’ al-Ghaleel (1589)]


Imaam Ahmad also recorded a narration from `Abdullaah bin Thaabit رضي الله عنه who said: “`Umar رضي الله عنه came to Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and said; ‘O Messenger of Allaah! I passed by a brother of mine from (the tribe of) Qurayzah, so he wrote some comprehensive statements from the Tawrah for me, should I read them to you?’ The face of Allaah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم changed (with anger). So I said to him: ‘Don't you see the face of Allaah's Messenger?” `Umar said: ‘We are pleased with Allaah as our Lord, Islaam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Messenger.’ So the anger of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم subsided, and he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “By the One in Whose Hand is Muhammad's soul, if Musa appeared among you and you were to follow him, abandoning me, then you would have strayed. Indeed you are my share of the Umam (nations), and I am your share of the Prophets.” [Musnad Ahmad (15437, 17871). Graded as “Hasan li ghairihee” by Shaikh al-Albaanee al-Saheehah (3207)]
