The Dislike of the Salaf with Regards to Giving Religious Verdicts | IlmGate said to Qatadah when he sat to give religious verdicts, Do you realize the affair that you have fallen into? You have come between Allah and His worshippers and say, This is correct and this is not correct.[5] It is also reported from Ibn al-Munkadir that he said, The scholar enters between Allah and His creation, so let him look and see how he enters between them.[6] When Ibn Sirin was asked about anything pertaining to the permissible and forbidden his color would change and he would alter so that he would not seem to be the same person.[7] When Ibrahim al-Nakhai was asked about something, displeasure would appear on his face and he would say, Could you not find someone else to ask other than me? He also said, I spoke and if I had found any way out I would not have spoken, and indeed a time when I am the scholar of Kufah is an evil time.[8] It is related that Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said, You ask us for religious verdicts in such a manner that it is as if we are people who are not going to be questioned about the verdicts that we give you.[9] It is also reported from Muhammad ibn Wasi who said, The first of those who will be called to account are the scholars. It is reported about Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that when he was asked about a matter it was as if he were standing between the Paradise and the Hell-Fire.[10] One of the scholars also said to a person who used to give religious verdicts, When you are asked about a matter then do not let your concern be to escape and find a way out for the questioner, but rather to escape and save your own self.[11] Another said, If you are asked about a matter then first ponder. If you find a way out of it then speak, otherwise remain silent. The sayings of the pious predecessors about this are too many to quote and gather. From The Evil of Craving for Wealth and Status 1995 al-Hidaayah [1] Reported by Darimi 1/57. Its chain of narration according to the muhaddiths is weak since it is mursal (i.e. there is a missing link or links between the last narrator and the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace). [2] This saying is reported by Darimi (1/53) and Ibn Abd al-Barr in his Jami (2/163). However it is the statement of Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla and not the statement of Al-Bara, and its chain of narration is sahih. As for the statement of Al-Bara, then it is, I saw three hundred of the people of Badr and there was not a single one of them except that he loved that someone else should take his place in answering, it is reported by Ibn al-Mubarak in al-Zuhd (no. 58), Ibn Sad (6/11), and others and its chain contains Abu Ishaq al-Sabii who is acceptable (saduq) except that he was a mudallis and reports it without stating that he heard it directly. [3] Reported by Ibn Abd al-Barr (2/164-165), al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/197-198) and Abu Khaythamah in al-Ilm (no. 10), and its chain of narration is sahih. [4] Reported by al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/166) and its isnad is weak. [5] Reported by al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/168). [6] Reported with variations in wording by Darimi (1/53), and al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/168) and its isnad is sahih. [7] Reported by Ibn Sad (7/195), al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/167) and its isnad is sahih. [8] Reported in meaning by Abu Khaythamah in al-Ilm (no. 131). [9] Reported by al-Fasawi (1/490) and al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/168) and its isnad is weak. [10] Reported by al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/167) and its isnad is weak. [11] The one who said this was Umar ibn Khaldah al-Zurqi and he was speaking to Rabiah ibn Abi Abd al-Rahman. This narration is reported with very close wordings by al-Fasawi (1/556-557), Abu Nuaym in al-Hilyah (3/260-261) and al-Khatib in al-Faqih wa l-Mutafaqqih (2/169) and its isnad is sahih.] Search Categories
