.Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Eman - 29th Rabi-ath-Thani 1426 (7 June 2005)
It is narrated on the authority 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (Radhiallaho anho): that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) observed: Never a Prophet had been sent before me by Allah towards his nation who had not among his people (his) disciples and companions who followed his ways and obeyed his command. Then there came after them their successors who said whatever they did not practise, and practised whatever they were not commanded to do. He who strove against them with his hand was a believer: he who strove against them with his was a believer, and he who strove against them with his heart was a believer and beyond that there is no faith even to the extent of a mustard seed. Abu Rafi' said: I narrated this hadith to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar(Radhiallaho anho); he contradicted me. There happened to come 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud who stayed at Qanat, and 'Abdullah bin 'Umar wanted me to accompany him for visiting him (as 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud was ailing), so I went along with him and as we sat (before him) I asked Ibn Mas'ud about this hadith. He narrated it in the same way as I narrated it to Ibn 'Umar. Muslim Vol. 1 : No. 81 -- You are subscribed as [email protected] Tell others about AHAD - A Hadith A Day!
