11:75. Verily, Ibrahîm (Abraham) was, without doubt, forbearing, used to
invoke Allâh with humility, and was repentant (to Allâh all the time, again and
again).

Before we embark on our discussion we should note some issues and
considerations that we should bear in mind before and when dealing with and
correcting the mistakes of others.
Sincerity towards Allaah
When correcting the mistakes of others, it is essential that ones intention
be to earn the pleasure of Allaah, not to demonstrate one's superiority or to
vent ones anger or to impress others.
Al-Tirmidhi (may Allaah have mercy on him) reported from Shufayy al-Asbahi
that he entered Madeenah and saw a man with people gathered around him. He
asked, Who is this? They said, Abu Hurayrah. [Shufayy said:] So I
approached him and sat down in front of him. He was speaking to the people, and
when he finished and they had gone away, I said to him, I ask you by Allaah,
to narrate to me a hadeeth that you heard from the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and understood fully. Abu Hurayrah said,
I will do that, I will tell you a hadeeth I heard from the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and understood fully. Then Abu
Hurayrah began to gasp, and remained in this condition until he recovered, then
he said, I will tell you a hadeeth that the Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) told me in this house when there was no one
else present except me and him. Then Abu Hurayrah began to
gasp again, then he recovered and wiped his face, and said, I will tell you a
hadeeth that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
told me in this house when there was no one else present except me and him.
Then he gasped, then he recovered and wiped his face and said, I will tell you
a hadeeth that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) told me in this house when there was no one else present except me and
him. Then Abu Hurayrah began to gasp severely, and his head fell forward, and
I supported him with my shoulder for a long time, then he recovered, and said:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told me:
When the Day of Judgement comes, Allaah will come down to judge between the
people. And every nation will be kneeling in submission. The first people to be
called forth will be a man who had learned the Qur`aan by heart, a man who was
killed for the sake of Allaah and a man who had a lot of wealth. Allaah will
say to the reciter [of the Qur`aan], Did I not teach you that which I had
revealed to My Messenger? He will say, Of course, My Lord. Allaah will say,
What did you do with what you were taught? He will say, I stayed up at night
and during the day (to recite it). Allaah will say, You have lied, and the
angels will say, You have lied. Allaah will say, You only wanted it to be
said that so-and-so is a reader, and it was said. The one who had a lot of
wealth will be brought and Allaah will say to him, Did I not give generously
to you so that you were not in need of anyone? He will say, Of course, O
Lord. Allaah will say, What did you do with what I
gave you? He will say, I used to give it to my relatives and in charity.
Allaah will say, You have lied, and the angels will say, You have lied.
Allaah will say, You only wanted it to be said that so-and-so is generous, and
it was said. Then the one who was killed for the sake of Allaah will be brought
and Allaah will say to him, What were you killed for? He will say, I was
commanded to fight in jihaad for Your sake so I fought until I was killed.
Allaah will say, You have lied, and the angels will say, You have lied.
Allaah will say, You only want it to be said that so-and-so was courageous,
and it was said. Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) struck my knees and said, O Abu Hurayrah, these three are the
first people for whom the Fire will be heated on the Day of Resurrection.
(Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 2382, Shaakir edn. Abu Eesa said: this is a ghareeb
hasan hadeeth).
If the intention of the person giving advice is sincere, he will earn reward
and his advice will be accepted and acted upon, by the permission of Allaah.
. . . . . . . . . .
If any woman puts on perfume and then goes out to the mosque, Allaah will
not accept her prayers until she does ghusl. (Reported by Ibn Maajah, no.
4002; see also Saheeh Ibn Maajah, 2/367).
According to Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah: A woman passed by Abu Hurayrah and her
perfume was overwhelming. He said to her,
Where are you going, O female slave of al-Jabbaar? She said, To the
mosque. He said, Are you wearing perfume? She said, Yes. He said, Go back
and do ghusl, for I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) saying that Allaah does not accept the prayer of any woman
who goes out to the mosque with overwhelming perfume, until she goes back and
does ghusl. (Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah, no. 1682. In his footnote, al-Albaani said,
it is a hasan hadeeth. See also al-Musnad, 2/246. Ahmad Shaakir classed it as
saheeh with this isnaad in his footnote to al-Musnad, no. 7350)
- Not occupying oneself with putting the symptoms right whilst neglecting to
deal with the cause of the mistake
- Not exaggerating about the mistake
- Not going to extremes to prove the mistake happened or trying to force an
admission of guilt from the one who made the mistake
- Allowing enough time for correcting the mistake, especially in the case of
one who has been accustomed to doing it for a long time, whilst still following
up the matter and continuing to advise and correct
- Not making the one who makes the mistake feel like an enemy, because the
aim is to win people over, not score points against them
Now we will move on to our discussion of the methods used by the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when dealing with the mistakes of
people, as recorded in the saheeh ahaadeeth narrated by the scholars.

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased
with him)
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, " O Allah, grant me benefit
in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my
knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from
the state of those who go to Hell."
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition
whose isnad is gharib.
