Guarding Monotheism – Prophet Muhammad’s (saaw) Humility

Kitab at Tawheed – Book of Monotheism Ch# 66
The Prophet’s safeguarding of Tauhid (Monotheism)
and his closing of the paths to Shirk (Polytheism)

Narrated from Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir (May Allah be pleased with him) who said:
I went with a delegation of Banu ‘Aamir to Allah’s Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and we (the delegation) said, “You are our lord/ Master (Sayyid).” To this he replied, “The Lord is Allah, the Blessed and Exalted.” Then we said, “You are one of us most endowed with excellence and superiority.” To this, the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) replied, “Say what you have to say, or part of what you have to say, and do not let the Satan get you carried away.”
[Abu Dawud reported this Hadith with valid Isnad]

It is narrated from Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) :
Some people said, “O Messenger of Allah, O the best amongst us and son of the best of us, you are our master and also the son of our master.” So he (the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him))said, “O people, say what you have to say; do not allow the Satan to fascinate you. I am Muhammad, the slave of Allah and His Messenger. I do not like you to
raise me above my status to which I have been raised by Allah, Most Noble and Majestic is He.”
[Reported by An-Nasa’i with valid Sanad]

They have Not Made a Just Estimate of Allah(swa)

CHAPTER No: 67 Kitab at Tawheed / Book of Monotheism

  • “They made Not a Just estimate of Allah…”

Allah the Almighty said: “They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection, the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!” (39:67)

Abdullah bin Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
A (Jewish) rabbi came to Allah’s Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and he said, “O Muhammad! We learn that Allah will put all the heavens on one finger, and the earths on one finger, and the trees on one finger, and the water and the dust on one finger, and all the other created beings on one finger. Then He will say, ‘I am the King”‘. Thereupon the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) smiled so that his premolar teeth became visible, and that was the confirmation of the rabbi. Then Allah’s Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) recited: “They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the Earth will be grasped by His
Hand.” (39:67)

In Muslim, from Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) in a Marfu’ Hadith, it is narrated:
“Allah will roll all the heavens up on the Day of Resurrection and take them in His Right Hand and then He will say, ‘I am the King; where are the Tyrants and where are the arrogant ones (today)?’ He would then roll up the seven earths and take them in His Left Hand and say, ‘I am the King, where are the tyrants and where are the arrogant ones (today)?’ “
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) that-he said: “The seven heavens and seven earths will be as small in Allah’s Hand as a seed of mustard in one of your hands.”

“The Kursi (Allah’s Footstool) compared to the Throne (Arsh) is nothing but like a ring of iron thrown in a vast field.”
It is reported that Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The distance between first and second heaven is that of 500 years, and between each of the seven heavens is also 500 years, and the distance between seventh heaven to the Kursi (Allah’s Footstool) is also 500 years, and the distance between the Kursi and the water is again 500 years. The Throne (Arsh) is above the water and Allah the Almighty is above the Throne. And nothing is hidden to Allah of your deeds.”

Olive Oil in Quran and Hadith

Olives in the Quran:

Allah mentions olives in a number of verses in the Quran. They are as follows: “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things..” [Surah al-Noor 24:35]

“And He it is who causes gardens to grow, [both] trellised and untrellised, and palm trees and crops of different [kinds of] food and olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Eat of [each of] its fruit when it yields and give its due [zakah] on the day of its harvest. And be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess. [Surah al-Anaam, 6:141]

OLIVES in Hadith:

It is recorded that Rasulullah (SAW) said: “Every kind of olive oil is for you, and anoint yourself with it” Rasulullah (SAW) used to recommend olives and saffron in cases of pleurisy, and he used to say that olives are the medicine of the poor. In another tradition Rasulullah (SAW) said: “Eat olive oil and anoint yourself with it” (Al-Tirmidhi)

Saied al-Ansari narrates that Rasulullah (SAW) said: “Eat the olive oil and massage it over your bodies since it is a blessed tree.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

Hazrat Alqama Bin Amir (R.A) narrates that Prophet (Sallallaho Alayhi Wasallam) said, “There is olive oil for you, eat it, massage over your body, since it is effective in Heamorrhoids (Piles).

Hazrat Aqba Bin Amir (R.A) narrates that the Prophet (Sallallaho Alayhi Wasallam) stated, “You have the olive oil from this Holy (mubarak) tree, treat yourself with this, since it cures the Anal fissure (Basoor).

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (SAW) stated: “Eat the olive oil and apply it (locally), since there is cure for seventy diseases in it, one of them is Leprosy.”

Khalid Bin Sa’d narrate: “I came to Medina with Ghalib Bin Al Jabr. Ghalib became ill during the journey. Ibn Abi Atîq came to see him and told a narration from Aisha that the Prophet told about the cure in Kalonji. We crushed a few seeds of Kalonji and mixed it with olive oil and dropped in both nostrils, after which Ghalib became healthy.” (Bukhari)

The Description of Nabi/ prophet Muhammad(saw)

Hadith:

On the authority of Umm Ma‘bad ‘Atikah bint Khalid al-Khuza‘iyyah (ra) who said:

’I saw a man of visible radiance and purity, beautiful appearance, bright faced, with neither protruding ribs nor a small head, handsome and fair. His eyes were deep black and large, and his eyelashes were lush. His voice was mellow and soft. The whiteness of his eyes was bright and his pupils were very black. His eyebrows were beautifully arched and connected. His neck was long, his beard densely full. When he was silent, he appeared dignified. When he spoke, he was eminent and crowned with magnificence. His speech was sweet, his words precise, neither too little nor too much. Like a string of pearls flowing down gradually.

He was the most striking and beautiful of people when seen from afar and the fairest of them when seen up close. He was medium height, neither unagreeably tall nor scornfully short; a branch between two branches. Among the three he was the most radiant in appearance, the finest of them in stature. He was surrounded by companions. When he spoke, they listened attentively. When he gave orders, they hastened to fulfil them. Honoured, served and surrounded by followers. He neither frowned, nor criticized’.

[Al-Baihaqi and al-Hakim]

Surah Muhammad (saw) – surah 47

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All Belivers are Brothers

~Surah Hujurat 10-12;
The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allāh that you may receive mercy.
— Saheeh International
O believers! Do not let some ˹men˺ ridicule others, they may be better than them, nor let ˹some˺ women ridicule other women, they may be better than them. Do not defame one another, nor call each other by offensive nicknames. How evil it is to act rebelliously after having faith! And whoever does not repent, it is they who are the ˹true˺ wrongdoers.
O  believers! Avoid many suspicions, ˹for˺ indeed, some suspicions are sinful. And do not spy, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of their dead brother? You would despise that!1 And fear Allah. Surely Allah is ˹the˺ Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.
