Saying “Love the Arabs for three reasons”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 19820 )
Q: Is it authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: “Love the Arabs for three reasons: because I am an Arab, the speech of the people of Paradise is Arabic, and the Noble Qur'an is in the Arabic language” ? What is the status of this hadith? Is it authentic? Or weak? Or fabricated? Because people are confused, and some of them cite this hadith as evidence that we will speak in Arabic in Paradise?
A: This hadith is invalid; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say it, as the scholars of hadith have explicitly stated.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
