Jundub Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: He who interprets the Qur'an according to his opinion and that happens to be correct, even then he has erred. (Abu Dawud: 3652)
 
Note: This means, that if someone interprets the Qur'an in the light of his own opinion and that interpretation incidentally turns out to be correct; even so he has erred, because he did not refer (for this commentary) to the Prophet's Ahadith and nor to the 'Ulama of this Ummah. (Mazahir-e-Haque)

08 NOV (Hadith Of The Day) - Tell me about Iman (faith)?

Hadith of the Day
'Umar ibnil-Khattab Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that one day while we were sitting with Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, a man with extremely white clothing and very black hair came to us. No signs of travel were visible on him and none of us recognised him. Sitting down close to Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, resting his knees against his and placing his palms on his own thighs, he said: O Muhammad! Tell me about Islam. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: Islam is to testify that none is worthy of worship but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish Salat, to pay Zakat, to fast in Ramadan, and to perform Hajj to Baitullah, provided you have resources for it. The man said: You have spoken the truth. 'Umar Radiyallahu 'anhu said: We were amazed at his asking the question and endorsing the answer. Then he said: Tell me about Iman (faith)? Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in the Divine Destiny – both good and bad of it. He said: You have spoken the truth. And then asked: Tell me about Ihsan? Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Ihsan is to worship Allah as though you are seeing Him; and even if you do not see Him, He certainly sees you. Then he said: Tell me about the Hour? Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: The one who is asked about it knows no more than the one who is asking. He said: Then tell me about its signs. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: That a slave-girl will give birth to her mistress; and you will see barefooted, naked and destitute shepherds competing with one another in constructing lofty buildings. 'Umar Radiyallahu 'anhu said: Then he went away and I stayed for a while. Then, Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam asked: O 'Umar! Do you know who the questioner was? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: He was Jibrail, who came to teach you your Deen (Islam). (Muslim: 93)
 
Note: In Hadith, amongst the signs of the Last Day is that a slave girl will give birth to her owner (mistress); which means that disobedience of parents will become rampant at the approach of the Last Day, so much so that girls, in whose nature obedience to their mother is more ingrained, would not only become disobedient, but dominate over their mothers, like a lady mistress orders her maid-servant. This is why Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam has described a slave-girl giving birth to her mistress. The second sign of the Last Day means, such people shall be in possession of wealth who would not be worthy of it. Their interest will be in constructing high buildings and they would compete with one another in it. (Ma'ariful Hadith)

03 NOV (Hadith Of The Day) - Sitting In The Masjid

Hadith of the Day
Abu Waqid Al-Laithi Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that once Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam was sitting in the masjid, and other people were also present. Three men came, two of them turned their attention towards Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, and one amongst them left. These two men stood near Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam; one of them found some room in the circle, so he sat there, the other one sat behind them and the third one (as mentioned above) turned his back and left. At the end of the gathering, Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Should I not inform you about these three persons? One of them came closer to Allah by sitting in the circle and so Allah covered him with His Mercy. And the other one felt shy (to sit in the circle), so Allah regarded his shyness and did not deprive him of His Mercy and the last one turned away, so Allah turned away from him. (Bukhari: 66)
