Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people these days are passing around messages on their mobile phones about a man named Abdullah who claims he saw the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with his own eyes. He reads it, distributes it, and waits four days, rejoicing greatly. And whoever does not distribute it grieves greatly. So what is the guidance, may Allah grant you success, in a case like this?
Answer:
This is a clear liar; the lie in this is obvious. If he had limited himself to saying, "I saw the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)," it would be a matter of whether he saw him or not. But for him to say that whoever distributes it will get such-and-such, and to specify four days, and that whoever does not distribute it will grieve—this is lying about Allah and His Messenger. So such superstitions must be denied; they must be denied, and the students of knowledge should respond to them on the mobile phone itself, responding on the phone itself, so that these people will be deterred. Yes.
