Hadrat Abu Said al-Khudri (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that from amongst the Companions of the Messenger of ALLAH two persons went out on journey, and when the time for Salaah approached, having no water with them, they performed ablution with clean earth and then performed Salaah. Immediately after that, they found water and one of them repeated the Salaah after performing ablution with water, but the other did not.
FOLLOWING ARE OBLIGATORY IN TAYAMMUM
1) Niyyah;
2) Striking both the hands on the ground and then wiping the face with them;
3) Striking both the hands on the ground and wiping both the hands upto the elbows. [Bahishti Zewar]
THE MASNUN METHOD OF TAYAMMUM
(1) Whatever impurity is excreted either from the front or back makes it imperative to cleanse the affected part i.e. to perform ISTINJA.
(2) If the impurity has not spread on the sides of the affected part and water is either not available at all or is not sufficient for ISTINJA, then it is permissible to wipe the affected part clean with stones or earth until all the impurity has been removed and the body
has become free from it. However, being repugnant to be the basic idea of cleanliness and purity this method should be resorted to only in extreme circumstances. [Tanwir-Shami]
A:
Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for the people of wisdom,
Who remember Allah standing and sitting, and (lying) on their sides, and ponder on the creation of the heavens and the earth (and say) ―Our Lord, You have not created all this in vain. We proclaim Your purity. So, save us from the punishment of Fire.
Hazrat Ibn Abaas R.A. said: “Whoever has enough money to perform Hajj and does not do so, or enough wealth making Zakaat obligatory on him, and he does not give it, he shall surely at the time of his death beg to be sent back to the world.”
The fact that they shall beg to be returned to this earth is a reference to the verse I n Surah Mu’minoon which is thus: “In falsehood and deception will the be until when death comes to one of them, he says: “O My Lord, send me back to life, in order that I may work righteously in the thing I neglected.’ By no mean! But is a word he says.” Before them is a partition till the day they are raised up.”
(Surah 23 verse 99 and 100)
Hazrat Aayesha R.A. reports that Rasulullah Sal’am said: “There is no day in which Allah sets free more souls from the fire of hell than on the day of Arafaat. And on that day Allah draws near to the earth and by way of exhibiting His pride remarks to the Angels: “What is the desire of these servants of mine.”
Note: As for the fact that ‘Allah draws near’ or ‘descends’ to the lowest heaven and similar phrases in Hadith literature, it should be borne in mind that Allah alone knows best the correct meaning. Allah is at all times near. He is not at all in need of the literal ascending or descending. When they come across such statements, the ulama explains it as referring to Allah’s special mercies that draw near.
This includes overbearing the weak, the male slave, the female slave, the wife and the beast. Allah, the Almighty ordered us to deal in kindness towards these varieties. He said,
{Serve Allah and join not any partners with Him, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are of kin, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the way-fairer( ye meet) and what your right hands possess: for Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious} (An-Nisa’: 36)
Concerning Allah’s saying,
{Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him}
Allah, the Almighty said,
{The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a chastisement grievous} (Ash-Shura: 42)
The Prophet (pbuh) said,
“Allah has inspired to me that you are all to be humble and that no one should exalt himself above another.” (Muslim)
It is also reported that,
“If a mountain transgresses against the other, Allah will make the one that transgressed it into dust.” (Suyuti)
The Prophet (pbuh) also said,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.
