The questioner : Your Excellency, the Shaykh, the Quranists say: Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Isra 17:12], and Allah the Exalted said: [Al-An'am 6:38], and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ;
We ask your Excellency to comment on this.
The Shaykh : As for the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:38], this verse refers here to the Preserved Tablet, not to the Noble Quran. If you refer to the books of exegesis, you will find this clearly evident. [Al-An'am 6:38]; that is, in the Preserved Tablet. As for [Al-Isra 17:12] You know that detailing can sometimes be done by generalization, by establishing general rules; if the Muslim understands them, the particulars fall under them, and these particulars cannot be enumerated due to their multitude. By the wise Lawgiver establishing known rules for these numerous particulars, this can be considered detailing as mentioned in the Noble Verse. And there is another type of detailing, which is what is implied by this verse, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith narrated by Imam al-Shafi'i in his *Sunan* from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he said: .
So detailing is sometimes by rules under which many particulars fall, and sometimes by detailing specific acts of worship and rulings in a way that does not require referring to the rule. From these rules, for example, under which many branches fall, and by which the greatness of Islam and the breadth of the scope of Islamic legislation are manifested, is his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, for example:Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam), and his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Sunan Ibn Majah 3390Hasan (Darussalam), and his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Sunan an-Nasa'i 1578Sahih (Darussalam); these are rules and universals that do not miss anything related to harm to the self or harm to wealth in the first hadith, and what is related to what intoxicates; whether the intoxicant is derived from grapes as is well known, or from barley, or from any other material; as long as it intoxicates, it is forbidden. Sunan Ibn Majah 3390Hasan (Darussalam).
Likewise, in the third hadith:Sunan an-Nasa'i 1578Sahih (Darussalam), it is not possible to enumerate innovations due to their multitude, nor to list them; and yet, this hadith, despite its brevity, says with absolute clarity: Sunan an-Nasa'i 1578Sahih (Darussalam). This is detailing by rules. And the rulings you know are detailing by specific items mentioned in the Sunnah, mostly, and sometimes, like the rulings of inheritance, for example, mentioned in the Noble Quran. As for the hadith that was mentioned, it is an authentic hadith, and acting upon it is what we are able to hold fast to, as mentioned in the hadith we cited before the prayer: . So holding fast to the rope of Allah, which is in our hands, is acting upon the Sunnah that details the Noble Quran.
Yes.
And everything We have set out in detail.
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ تَفْصِيلًاWe have not neglected in the Register a thing
مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍThis Quran has one end in the hand of Allah and the other end in your hands; so hold fast to it, and you will not go astray.
إن هذا القرآن طرفه بيد الله ، والطَّرف الآخر بأيديكم ؛ فتمسَّكوا به لن تضلُّواWe ask your Excellency to comment on this.
The Shaykh : As for the saying of Allah the Exalted:
We have not neglected in the Register a thing
مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍWe have not neglected in the Register
مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِAnd everything We have set out in detail.
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ تَفْصِيلًاI have not left anything that brings you closer to Allah and keeps you away from the Fire except that I have commanded you with it, and I have not left anything that keeps you away from Allah and brings you closer to the Fire except that I have forbidden it to you.
ما تركت شيئًا يقرِّبكم إلى الله ويبعِّدكم عن النار إلا وأمَرْتكم به ، وما تركتُ شيئًا يبعِّدكم عن الله ويقرِّبكم إلى النار إلا ونهيتُكم عنهSo detailing is sometimes by rules under which many particulars fall, and sometimes by detailing specific acts of worship and rulings in a way that does not require referring to the rule. From these rules, for example, under which many branches fall, and by which the greatness of Islam and the breadth of the scope of Islamic legislation are manifested, is his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, for example:
It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”
لا ضرر ولا ضرارEvery intoxicant is Khamr (wine) and every Khamr is unlawful.
كلُّ مسكرٍ خمر ، وكلُّ خمرٍ حرامevery innovation is going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire
كل بدعة ضلالة ، وكل ضلالة في النارEvery intoxicant is Khamr (wine) and every Khamr is unlawful.
كل مسكر خمر ، وكل خمر حرامLikewise, in the third hadith:
every innovation is going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire
كل بدعة ضلالة ، وكل ضلالة في النارevery innovation is going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire
كل بدعة ضلالة ، وكل ضلالة في النارYou will not go astray as long as you hold fast to them: the Book of Allah and my Sunnah.
لن تضلُّوا ما إن تمسَّكتم بهما ؛ كتاب الله وسُنَّتيYes.
