What is a Mutawatir Hadith and why this is distinct?
A Mutawatir (مُتَواتِر meaning "successive") Hadith is a report of such a large number of narrators (at different times) that their agreement upon an untruth is inconceivable thus being accepted as unquestionable in its veracity. A hadith is said to be mutawatir if it was reported by a significant, though unspecified, number of narrators at each level in the chain of narration, thus reaching the succeeding generation through multiple chains of narration leading back to its source.
This provides confirmation that the hadith is authentically attributed to its source at a level above reasonable doubt. This is due to its being beyond historical possibility that narrators could have conspired to forge a narration. In contrast, an ahaad hadith is a narration the chain of which has not reached a number sufficient to qualify as mutawatir.
There are only two types of texts in Islamic sharīʿah which are immutable (Qaati’) a) verses of Qura’n and b) Mutawatir Hadith. If someone denies a Mutawatir hadith he does Kufr.
Why this collection?
We have searched through the internet over and over again and unfortunately could not find a single collection of Mutawatir hadith in English. So we have compiled this from a website of Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da‘wah and Guidance, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This compilation is originally selected and compiled by the Ulaama council of this ministry and NOT by us. Our contribution is just copying from the website and accumulates into an unbroken book. We hope this will come handy in many research and necessary studies inshaAllah. May Allah (SWT) accept all of our efforts, Ameen.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet
Praise be to Allaah the Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet
Muhammad and all his family and companions.
The commands mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah to follow the laws of Allaah and
His Messenger, and the prohibitions on introducing innovations into the religion are quite
clear. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad to mankind): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me (i.e. accept
Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur’aan and the Sunnah), Allaah will love you and forgive
you your sins’”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:31]
“Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Qur’aan and Prophet
Muhammad’s Sunnah), and follow not any Awliyaa’ (protectors and helpers who order
you to associate partners in worship with Allaah), besides Him (Allaah). Little do you
remember!”
[al-A’raaf 7:3]
“And verily, this is My straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they
will separate you away from His path”
[al-A’naam 6:153]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The most truthful of
speech is the Book of Allaah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, and
the most evil of things are those which are newly-invented.” And he (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours (i.e.,
Islam), that is not part of it will have it rejected.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 2697;
Muslim, no. 1718). According to a version narrated by Muslim, “Whoever doe anything
that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (i.e., Islam), will have it rejected.”
Among the reprehensible innovations that people have invented is the celebration of the
birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the month of
Rabee’ al-Awwal. They celebrate this occasion in various ways:
Some of them simply make it an occasion to gather and read the story of the Mawlid,
then they present speeches and qaseedahs (odes) for this occasion.
Some of them make food and sweets etc., and offer them to the people present.

2. Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Page 2 of 11
Some of them hold these celebrations in the mosques, and some of them hold them in
their houses.
Some people do not limit themselves to the actions mentioned above; they include in
these gatherings haraam and reprehensible things, such as free mixing of men and
women, dancing and singing, or committing actions of shirk such as seeking the help of
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), calling upon him, seeking his
support against their enemies and so on.
Whatever form it takes and whatever the intentions of those who do this are, there is no
doubt whatsoever that it is an invented, haraam innovation which was introduced by the
Shi’a Faatimids after the three best centuries, in order to corrupt the religion of the
Muslims. The first person to do this after them was the king al-Muzaffar Abu Sa’eed
Kawkaboori, the king of Irbil, at the end of the sixth century or the beginning of the
seventh century AH, as was mentioned by the historians such as Ibn Khalkaan and others.
Abu Shaamah said: the first person to do that in Mosul was Shaykh ‘Umar ibn
Muhammad al-Malaa, one of the well-known righteous people. Then the ruler of Irbil and
others followed his example.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer said in al-Bidaayah wa’l-Nihaayah (13/137), in his biography of
Abu Sa’eed Kazkaboori: “He used to observe the Mawlid in Rabee’ al-Awwal and hold a
huge celebration on that occasion… some of those who were present at the feast of al-
Muzaffar on some occasions of the Mawlid said that he used to offer in the feast five
thousand grilled heads of sheep, ten thousand chickens and one hundred thousand large
dishes, and thirty trays of sweets… he would let the Sufis sing from Zuhr until Fajr, and
he himself would dance with them.”
Ibn Khalkaan said in Wafiyaat al-A’yaan (3/274): “When it is the first of Safar they
decorate those domes with various kinds of fancy adornments, and in every dome there
sits a group of singers and a group of puppeteers and players of musical instruments, and
they do not leave any one of those domes without setting up a group (of performers)
there.
The people give up work during this period, and they do no work except going around
and watching the entertainment. When there are two days to go until the Mawlid, they
bring out a large number of camels, cows and sheep, more than can be described, and
they accompany them with all the drums, songs and musical instruments that they have,
until they bring them to the square… On the night of the Mawlid there are performances
of nasheed after Maghrib in the citadel.”
This is the origin of this celebration on the occasion of the Prophet’s birthday. More
recently idle entertainment, extravagance, and wasting of money and time have become
associated with an innovation for which Allaah has not sent down any authority.

What Muslims should do is to revive the Sunnah and put an end to bid’ah (innovation);
they should not do any action until they know the ruling of Allaah concerning it.
Ruling on celebrating the Prophet’s birthday
Celebrating the occasion of the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) is forbidden and is to be rejected for a number of reasons:
1 – it is not part of the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) or of the khaleefahs who succeeded him. Since this is the case, then it is a forbidden
innovation, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I
urge you to follow my Sunnah and the way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs after me;
adhere to it and cling to it firmly. Beware of newly-invented things, for every newly-
invented thing is an innovation (bid’ah) and every innovation is a going-
astray.” (Narrated by Ahmad, 4/126; al-Tirmidhi no. 2676).
Celebrating the Mawlid is an innovation introduced by the Shi’a Faatimids after the three
best centuries in order to corrupt the religion of the Muslims. If a person does anything in
order to draw closer to Allaah which was not done by the Messenger (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) or enjoined by him, and was not done by the khaleefahs who
succeeded him, this action implies that he is accusing the Messenger of not explaining the
religion to the people, and that he disbelieves in the words of Allaah (interpretation of the
meaning):
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you”
[al-Maa'idah 5:3]
because he is adding something extra and claiming that it is a part of the religion, but the
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not bring this.
2 – Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
is an imitation of the Christians, because they celebrate the birth of the Messiah (peace be
upon him). Imitating them is extremely haraam. The hadeeth tells us that it is forbidden
to imitate the kuffaar, and we are commanded to differ from them. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of
them” (narrated by Ahmad, 2/50; Abu Dawood, 4/314). And he said, “Be different from
the mushrikeen” (narrated by Muslim, 1/222, no. 259) – especially with regard to things
that are the symbols or rituals of their religion.
3 – Besides being bid’ah and an imitation of the Christians, both of which are haraam,
celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is
also a means that leads to exaggeration and excess in venerating him, which even goes as
far as calling upon him (making du’aa’ to him) and seeking his help, instead of calling
http://63.175.194.25/topics/muled/muled_llfozan_eng.shtml 1/1/2005
4. Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Page 4 of 11
upon Allaah, as happens now among many of those who observe the bid’ah of the
Mawlid, when they call upon the Messenger instead of Allaah, and ask him for support,
and sing qaseedahs (odes) of shirk praising him, like Qaseedat al-Burdah etc. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade going to extremes in
praising him, as he said: “Do not extol as the Christians extolled the son of Maryam. For
I am just His slave, so say, the slave of Allaah and His Messenger” (narrated by al-
Bukhaari, 4/142, no. 3445; al-Fath, 6/551), i.e., do not exaggerate in praising me as the
Christians exaggerated in praising the Messiah and venerated him until they worshipped
him instead of Allaah. Allaah forbade them to do that when he said (interpretation of the
meaning):
“O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor
say of Allaah aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was
(no more than) a Messenger of Allaah and His Word, (“Be!” — and he was) which He
bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rooh) created by Him”
[al-Nisaa’ 4:171]
Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade us to exaggerate
concerning him lest the same thing happen to us as happened to them, so he said:
“Beware of exaggeration, for those who came before you were destroyed because of
exaggeration” (narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 5/268; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh
Sunan al-Nasaa’i, no. 2863).
4 – Observing the innovation of the Prophet’s birthday opens the door to other kinds of
bid’ah and being distracted by them from the Sunnah. Hence you find that the innovators
are very active when it comes to bid’ah and very lazy when it comes to the Sunnah; they
hate it and regard those who follow it as enemies, until their entire religion is innovated
anniversaries and Mawlids. They have split into various groups, each of which
commemorates the anniversary of its imaam’s birth, such as the births of al-Badawi, Ibn
‘Arabi, al-Dasooqi and al-Shaadhili. No sooner do they end the celebration of one
birthday but they start the celebration of another. This results in exaggeration concerning
these dead people and others, and in calling upon them instead of Allaah, believing that
they can bring benefit and cause harm, until they deviate from the religion of Allaah and
go back to the religion of the people of the Jaahiliyyah of whom Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“And they worship besides Allaah things that harm them not, nor profit them, and they
say: ‘These are our intercessors with Allaah’”
[Yoonus 10:18]
“And those who take Awliyaa’ (protectors, helpers, lords, gods) besides Him (say): ‘We
worship them only that they may bring us near to Allaah’”
http://63.175.194.25/topics/muled/muled_llfozan_eng.shtml 1/1/2005
5. Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Page 5 of 11
[al-Zumar 39:3]
Discussing the specious arguments of those who celebrate the Mawlid
Those who think that this bid’ah should be continued produce specious arguments which
are flimsier than a spider’s web. These specious arguments may be dealt with as follows:
1 – Their claim that this is veneration of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him):
The response to that is that the way to venerate him is to obey him, do as he commanded
and avoid that which he forbade, and to love him; he is not to be venerated through
innovations, myths and sins. Celebrating his birthday is of this blameworthy type because
it is a sin. The people who venerated the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) the most were the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them), as ‘Urwah ibn
Mas’ood said to Quraysh: “O people, by Allaah I have visited kings. I went to Caesar,
Chosroes and the Negus, but by Allaah I never saw a king whose companions venerated
him as much as the companions of Muhammad venerated Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). By Allaah, whenever he spat it never fell on the
ground, it fell into into the hand of one his companions, then they wiped their faces and
skins with it. If he instructed them to do something, they would hasten to do as he
commanded. When he did wudoo’, they would almost fight over his water. When he
spoke they would lower their voices in his presence; and they did not stare at him out of
respect for him.” (al-Bukhaari, 3/178, no. 2731, 2732; al-Fath, 5/388). Yet despite this
level of veneration, they never took the day of his birth as an ‘Eid (festival). If that had
been prescribed in Islam they would not have neglected to do that.
2 – Using as evidence the fact that many people in many countries do this.
The response to that is that evidence consists of that which is proven from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and what is proven from the Prophet is that
innovations are forbidden in general, and this is an innovation. What people do, if it goes
against the evidence (daleel), does not prove anything, even if many of them do it.
“And if you obey most of those on the earth, they will mislead you far away from
Allaah’s path”
[al-An’aam 6:116 – interpretation of the meaning]
Nevertheless, in every age, praise be to Allaah, there have always been those who
denounce this bid’ah and state clearly that it is false. Those who persist in following it
after the truth had been explained to them have no proof.
Among those who denounced the celebration of this occasion was Shaykh al-Islam Ibn
http://63.175.194.25/topics/muled/muled_llfozan_eng.shtml 1/1/2005
6. Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Page 6 of 11
Taymiyah, in Iqtidaa’ al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem; Imaam al-Shaatibi in al-‘I’tisaam; Ibn al-
Haaj in al-Madkhil; Shaykh Taaj al-Deen ‘Ali ibn ‘Umar al-Lakhami who wrote an entire
book denouncing it; Shaykh Muhammad Basheer al-Sahsawaani al-Hindi in his book
Siyaanah al-Insaan; al-Sayyid Muhammad Rasheed Ridaa wrote a separate essay on this
topic; Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem Aal al-Shaykh wrote a separate essay on it;
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz; and others who are still writing and denouncing this
bid’ah every year in the pages of newspapers and magazines, at the time when this bid’ah
is being done.
3 – They say that by celebrating the Mawlid they are keeping the memory of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) alive.
The answer to that is that the memory of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) is constantly kept alive by the Muslim, such as when his name (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) is mentioned in the adhaan and iqaamah and in
khutbahs, and every time the Muslim recites the Shahaadatayn after doing wudoo’ and in
the prayers, and every time he sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) in his prayers and when he is mentioned, and every time the Muslim
does a waajib (obligatory) or mustahabb (recommended) action that was prescribed by
the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). In all of these ways (the
Muslim) remembers him and the reward equivalent to the reward of the one who does
that action goes back to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Thus
the Muslim constantly keeps the memory of the Messenger alive and has a connection
with him night and day throughout his life through that which Allaah has prescribed, not
only on the day of the Mawlid and things which are bid’ah and go against the Sunnah, for
that puts one at a distance from the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) and the Messenger will disown him because of that.
The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has no need of this
innovated celebration, because Allaah has already bestowed veneration and respect upon
him, as He says:
“and raised high your fame”
[al-Sharh 94:4]
For Allaah is not mentioned in the adhaan, iqaamah or khutbah, but the Messenger (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is mentioned after Him; this is sufficient veneration,
love and renewal of his memory, ad sufficient encouragement to follow him.
Allaah did not refer to the birth of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) in the Qur’aan, rather He referred to his Mission, and says (interpretation of the
meaning):
http://63.175.194.25/topics/muled/muled_llfozan_eng.shtml 1/1/2005
7. Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Page 7 of 11
“Indeed, Allaah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a
Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:124]
“He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad) from among
themselves”
[al-Jumu’ah 64:2]
4 – They may say that the celebration of the Prophet’s birthday was introduced by a
knowledgeable and just king who intended thereby to draw closer to Allaah.
Our response to that is that bid’ah is not acceptable, no matter who does it. A good
intention does not justify a bad deed and even if a person died as a knowledgeable and
righteous person, this does not mean that he was infallible.
5 – They say that celebrating the mawlid comes under the heading of bid’ah hasanah
(“good innovation”) because it is based on giving thanks to Allaah for the Prophet!
Our response to that is that there is nothing good in innovation. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever innovates anything in this matter of
ours (i.e., Islam), that is not part of it will have it rejected.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no.
2697; al-Fath , 5/355). And he said, “Every innovation is a going astray” (narrated by
Ahmad, 4/126; al-Tirmidhi, no. 2676). The ruling on innovations is that they are all
misguidance, but this specious argument suggests that not every bid’ah is a going astray,
rather there are good innovations.
Al-Haafiz ibn Rajab said in Sharh al-Arba’een: “The words of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), ‘every innovation is a going astray’ is a concise but
comprehensive comment which includes everything; it is one of the most important
principles of religion. It is like his words ‘Whoever innovates anything in this matter of
ours (i.e., Islam), that is not part of it will have it rejected.’ (Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
3/167, no. 2697; al-Fath, 5/355). Whoever innovates anything and attributes it to Islam
when it has no basis in the religion, this is a going astray and is nothing to do with Islam,
whether that has to do with matters of belief (‘aqeedah) or outward and inward words and
deeds.”
(Jaami’ al-‘Uloom wa’l-Hakam, p. 233)
These people have no proof that there is any such thing as a “good innovation” apart from
the words of ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) concerning Taraaweeh prayers,
“What a good innovation this is.” (Saheeh al-Bukhaari, 2/252, no. 2010 mu’allaqan; al-
Fath 4/294).
http://63.175.194.25/topics/muled/muled_llfozan_eng.shtml 1/1/2005
8. Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Page 8 of 11
They also said that things were innovated which were not denounced by the salaf, such as
compiling the Qur’aan into one volume and writing and compiling the hadeeth.
The response to that is that these matters had a basis in Islam, so they were not newly-
invented.
‘Umar said: “What a good bid’ah” meaning innovation in the linguistic sense, not in the
shar’i sense. Whatever has a basis in Islam, if it is described as an innovation, is an
innovation in the linguistic sense, not in the shar’i sense, because innovation in the shar’i
sense means that which has no basis in Islam.
Compiling the Qur’aan into one book has a basis in Islam, because the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had commanded that the Qur’aan be written down,
but it was scattered, so the Sahaabah compiled it in one volume so as so protect and
preserve it.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led his companions in praying
Taraaweeh for a while, then he stopped doing that, lest that become obligatory on them.
The Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) continued to pray it separately during
the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and after his death,
until ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with them) gathered them behind
one imaam as they used to pray behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him). This was not an innovation introduced into the religion.
Writing down the hadeeth also has a basis in Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) ordered that some ahaadeeth should be written down for some of his
companions when they asked him for that. In general terms writing it down during his
lifetime was not allowed, for fear that the Qur’aan might be mixed with things that were
not part of it. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, this
fear was no longer a factor, because the Qur’aan had been completed and arranged in
order before he died. The Muslims compiled the Sunnah after that in order to preserve it
and keep it from being lost. May Allaah reward them with good on behalf of Islam and
the Muslims, because they preserved the Book of their Lord and the Sunnah of their
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) from being lost or being tampered
with.
We may also say to them: why was this act of thanksgiving, as they call it, not done by
the best generations, the Sahaabah, Taabi’een and followers of the Taabi’een, who loved
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) most and who were most keen
to do good and give thanks? Are those who introduced the innovation of the Mawlid
more rightly-guided than them? Do they give more thanks to Allaah? Definitely not!
6 – They may say that celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) is indicative of their love for him; this is one way of showing that,
http://63.175.194.25/topics/muled/muled_llfozan_eng.shtml 1/1/2005
9. Ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Page 9 of 11
and showing love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is
prescribed in Islam!
The answer to that is that undoubtedly loving the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) is obligatory for every Muslim; he should love him more than he loves
himself, his child, his father and all the people – may my father and mother be sacrificed
for him – but that does not mean that we should introduce innovations for doing so that
have not been prescribed for us. Loving him dictates that we should obey him and follow
him, for that is one of the greatest manifestations of love, as it is said:
“If your love is sincere then obey him; for the lover obeys the one whom he loves.”
Loving the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) implies keeping his
Sunnah alive, adhering firmly to it, and avoiding words and deeds that go against it.
Undoubtedly everything that goes against his Sunnah is a reprehensible innovation
(bid’ah) and a manifest act of disobedience. That includes celebrating his birthday and
other kinds of bid’ah. A good intention does not mean that it is permissible to introduce
innovations into the religion. Islam is based on two things, purity of intention and
following [the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)]. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allaah (i.e. follows Allaah’s religion of
Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin (a doer of good) then his reward is with his
Lord (Allaah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve”
[al-Baqarah 2:112]
Submitting one’s face to Allaah means being sincere towards Allaah, and doing good
means following the Messenger and implementing the Sunnah.
7 – Another of their specious arguments is when they say that by celebrating the Mawlid
and reading the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on
this occasion, they are encouraging people to follow his example!
We say to them that reading the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) and following his example are required of the Muslim all the time, all year
long and throughout his life. Singling out a specific day for that with no evidence for
doing so is an innovation, and every innovation is a going astray.” (Narrated by Ahmad,
4/164; al-Tirmidhi, 2676). Bid’ah does not bear any fruit but evil and it leads to a person
distancing himself from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
In conclusion, celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), whatever form it takes, is a reprehensible innovation. The Muslims should put
a stop to this and other kinds of bid’ah, and occupy themselves with reviving and

adhering to the Sunnah. They should not be deceived by those who promote and defend
this bid’ah, for these types of people are more interested in keeping innovations alive
than in reviving the Sunnah; they may not even care about the Sunnah at all. Whoever is
like this, it is not permissible to imitate him or follow his example, even if the majority of
people are like this. Rather we should follow the example of those who follow the path of
the Sunnah, among the righteous salaf and their followers, even if they are few. Truth is
not measured by the men who speak it, rather men are measured by the
truth.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you
lives (for a long time) will see many differences. I urge you to follow my Sunnah and the
way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs who come after me. Hold on to it firmly. Beware of
newly-invented matters, for every innovation is a going astray.” (Narrated by Ahmad,
4/126; al-Tirmidhi no. 2676). So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
explained to us in this hadeeth what we should do when there are differences of opinion,
just as he explained that everything that goes against his Sunnah, be it words or deeds, is
a bid’ah, and every bid’ah is a going astray.
If we see that there is no basis for celebrating the birthday of the Prophet, whether in the
Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or in the
way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs, then it is one of the newly-invented matters, one of
the bid’ahs which lead people astray. This principle is what is implied by this hadeeth and
is what is indicated by the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of
you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves,
refer it to Allaah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allaah and in the Last Day. That is
better and more suitable for final determination”
[al-Nisaa’ 4:59]
Referring to Allaah means referring to His Book, and referring to the Messenger (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) means referring to his Sunnah after he has passed
away. The Qur’aan and Sunnah are the reference point in cases of dispute. Where in the
Qur’aan or Sunnah does it indicate that it is prescribed in Islam to celebrate the Prophet’s
birthday? Whoever does that or thinks that it is good must repent to Allaah from this and
from other kinds of bid’ah. This is the attitude of the Muslim who is seeking the truth.
But whoever is too stubborn and arrogant after proof has been established, then his
reckoning will be with his Lord.
We ask Allaah to help us adhere to His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger until the
Day when we will meet Him. May Allaah grant blessings and peace to our Prophet
Muhammad and his family and companions.
