Hajj of Boys (Ahadith 1575 - 1578)

Bismillah.
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 80:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) sent me (to Mina) with the luggage from Jam' (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) at night.
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 81:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
I came riding on my she-ass and had (just) then attained the age of puberty. Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) was praying at Mina. I passed in front of a part of the first row and then dismounted from it, and the animal started grazing. I aligned with the people behind Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) (The sub-narrator added that happened in Mina during the Prophet's Hajjat-ul-wada.)
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 82:
Narrated As-Sa'ib bin Yazid (radiallaahu `anhu):
(While in the company of my parents) I was made to perform Hajj with Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and I was a seven-year-old boy then.
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 83:
Narrated Al-Ju'aid bin 'AbdurRahman:
I heard 'Umar bin 'Abdul Aziz telling about As-Sa'ib bin Yazid that he had performed Hajj (while carried) with the belongings of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam).
Children who have not yet reached the age of puberty will be rewarded for the good deeds they do. Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both), said: “A woman lifted up a child and said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, will his Hajj (pilgrimage) be counted?’ He said, ‘Yes, and you will be rewarded.’” [Muslim]
The author of Mawaahib al-Jaleel said, concerning children entering ihraam (sacred state) for Hajj and ‘Umrah:
“The scholars do not differ concerning the fact that children will be rewarded for whatever acts of obedience (to Allaah) they do, and will be let off for any bad deeds that they do, and any bad deeds they do deliberately will be counted as mistakes. It says in Mukhtasar al-Waadihah: ‘Hajj is not an obligation for boys and girls until boys reach puberty and girls begin menstruating, but there is nothing wrong with taking them for Hajj. It is recommended (mustahabb), and the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did so.’”
Then he reported that Talhah ibn Musarrif said: “It was one of the customs of the Muslims to take their children for Hajj and expose them to the mercy of Allaah.”
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said in al-Tamheed that it is encouraged to take children for Hajj, and that the majority of scholars say this. He also said: “It is nothing strange that a child should earn reward and status in the Hereafter for his salaah (prayers), zakaah (paying poor-due), Hajj and other good deeds if he does them as they should be done, (because this is) grace and mercy from Allaah, just as Allaah shows mercy to the dead by rewarding them for acts of charity done on their behalf by the living. Do you not see that they (the scholars) are agreed that a child should be commanded to pray when he reaches the age of understanding and that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led Anas and the orphan in prayer? Most of the salaf (pious predecessors) said that zakaah has to be paid on the property of orphans, and it is impossible that they would not be rewarded for that. Their guardians and the one who does this on their behalf will also certainly be rewarded, as will the one who takes them for Hajj, as a blessing and mercy from Allaah. It was reported that ‘Umar said: ‘Children’s good deeds will be recorded and their bad deeds will not be recorded.’ I do not know of anyone whose opinion is worth following who said anything to the contrary.”

The Hidden Message in Good Deeds (Hadith No. 1411)


Bismillah.
Hadith no. 1407 (below) is a repeat. Read it here.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 707:
Narrated Nafi':
Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) said, "When Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) performed the first Tawaf he did Ramal in the first three rounds and then walked in the remaining four rounds (of Tawaf of the Ka'ba), where as in performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa he used to run in the midst of the rain-water passage," I asked Nafi', "Did 'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) (radiallaahu `anhu) use to walk steadily on reaching the Yemenite Corner?" He replied, "No, unless people were crowded at the Corner; otherwise he would not leave it without touching it."
Hadith no. 1408 (below) is also a repeat. Read it here.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 708:
Narrated 'Amr bin Dinar:
We asked Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) whether a man who, while performing 'Umra, had performed Tawaf of the Ka'ba; and had not yet performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, could have sexual relation with his wife, Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) replied "The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) reached Mecca and performed the seven rounds (of Tawaf) of the Ka'ba and then offered a two-Rakat prayer behind Maqam ibrahim and then performed the seven rounds (of Tawaf) between Safa and Marwa." He added, "Verily! In Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) you have a good example." We asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah (radiallaahu `anhu) (the same question) and he said, "He (that man) should not come near (his wife) till he has completed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa."
Hadith no. 1409 (below) is also a repeat. Read it here.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 709:
Narrated 'Amr bin Dinar:
I heard Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) saying, "The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) arrived at Mecca and performed Tawaf of the Ka'ba and then offered a two-Rakat prayer and then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu `anhu) then recited (the verse): "Verily! In Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) you have a good example. "
Hadith no. 1410 (below) is a repeat as well. Read it here.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 710:
Narrated 'Asim:
I asked Anas bin Malik (radiallaahu `anhu): "Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance, till Allah revealed: 'Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka'ba, or performs 'Umra, to perform Tawaf between them.' " (2.158)

Today's Hadith:

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 711:
Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallaahu `anhu):
Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) performed Tawaf of the Ka'ba and the Sa'i of Safa and Marwa so as to show his strength to the pagans.
Strength was shown to let the pagans know that it is indeed the Kalimah of Allah that is supreme. It wasn't done to show the supremacy of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) or the Muslims in general.
And that's how it's supposed to be. Any good that we do should be to establish Allah's Supremacy, not our own. Anything we do as Muslims should tell the Kuffaar how awesome our Rabb and Deen are, not how cool 'we' are. Take the 'me, myself and I' out of the equation and there you have it, the purpose of your life.

Women, Jihaad and Hajj Mabrur (Ahadith 1294 - 1296)


Bismillah.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 594:
Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) was asked, "Which is the best deed?" He said, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)." He was then asked, "Which is the next (in goodness)?" He said, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." He was then asked, "Which is the next?" He said, "To perform Hajj-Mabrur."
Above Hadith has been posted before as well. Read it here.
After belief in Allah and Jihad in His Cause comes Hajj Mabrur. A Hajj Mabrur (an accepted Hajj) is a Hajj performed--overall--in a manner pleasing to Allah, and its signs are that a person returns with resolve and determination to fulfill their duty to Allah in a pleasing manner.
If a person completes his pilgrimage in the right manner and completes it only for the sake of Allah then the Hajj can compensate for his every sin. This is shown in the following Hadith related by Abu Hurairah (radiallaahu `anhu)  that the Apostle of Allah (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)  said: 
"Whoever performs the Hajj and commits no lustful act during it nor disobeys God (in any other way) shall return from it as pure and sinless as he was at the time of his birth." Bukhari & Muslim 
We can understand from the hadith that if anyone performs the Hajj and during it, abstains from all lustful things and every other act of defiance to God which falls within the spheres of lewdness, his sins will be forgiven and he will return from it as spotless as he was when he had been born. This type of Hajj is called Hajj Mabroor and if this is granted to him then he has obtained a great gift and favor in this world as well as the hereafter.
The reward for Hajj Mabroor is more clear in the following Hadith which is related by Abu Hurairah (radiallaahu `anhu), that Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said: 
"From one Umra to another (i.e. the two Umras) become an atonement for the sins committed during the period intervening between them and the reward on Hajj Mabroor (i.e. pure and untainted Haj) is paradise itself and nothing less." Bukhari & Muslim
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 595:
Narrated 'Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
(the mother of the faithful believers) I said, "O Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)! We consider Jihad as the best deed." The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabrur."
Women can start planning + preparing for Hajj Mabrur now. :)
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 596:
Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "Whoever performs Hajj for Allah's pleasure and does not have sexual relations with his wife, and does not do evil or sins then he will return (after Hajj free from all sins) as if he were born anew."
And that is the reward for Hajj Mabrur. May Allah grant us all the tawfiq to perform such a Hajj.

Best Deed (Hadith No. 949)


Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 250:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
At the time of the Fajr prayer the Prophet asked Bilal, "Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise." Bilal replied, "I did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written for me."

That was Bilal (RA) and that was his best deed that took him to Paradise. We should try our best to follow this Sunnah of tahiyyat-ul-wudhu as well.

But think about this: what's YOUR best deed? What is it that you do that might take you to Paradise? Something beloved to Allah. Something consistent, whether big or small. Something most people don't do.. Something unique to you.

If you have something, well and good. Keep at it. If not, think of something! Don't you want to be admitted into Paradise as a VIP? Don't you want the angels calling out your name in a category that only you fit in? For example, an angel at one of the doors of Paradise calls out "Bukhari Project: Yumna Arif". :D
Say Ameen to that! ^

Wassalam.

That One Good Deed (Hadith No. 624)


Salam,
Bismillah.

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 624:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "While a man was going on a way, he saw a thorny branch and removed it from the way, and Allah became pleased by his action and forgave him for that." Then the Prophet said, "Five are martyrs: One who dies of plague, one who dies of an abdominal disease, one who dies of drowning, one who is buried alive (and) dies and one who is killed in Allah's cause." (The Prophet further said, "If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the Adhan and for standing in the first row (in the congregational prayer) and found no other way to get it except by drawing lots they would do so, and if they knew the reward of offering the Zuhr prayer early (in its stated time), they would race for it and they knew the reward for 'Isha and Fajr prayers in congregation, they would attend them even if they were to crawl.)


Referring to the first part of the Hadith.. Think about it. Removing a thorn from the way, or anything else for the matter, seems like someone else's job. A sweeper should do it, right?

That man could've been a very bad person who disobeyed Allah and His Messenger (SAW). He could've been the most insolent, harsh, disrespectful, disloyal, disgraceful, careless person on Earth. One day, out of whatever good he still had inside his heart, he removed a thorny branch from the way. Allah liked his action so much, His Mercy overcame His anger, and He forgave that man. All because of that one good deed.

On the flip side, this man could've been a very pious person who obeyed Allah and worshiped Him. He could've been the most caring, loving, kind, respecting, obedient, loyal person of his time. And one day, out of his usual goodness, he removed a thorny branch from the way. Allah liked this deed more than any other that he had ever done. And He forgave him. All because of that one good deed.

Lesson to be learnt is: never think a good deed is too small or worthless. You never know which good deed will be the reason for your forgiveness.

Wassalam.
