Does what is in Sahih Muslim (The people of Iraq will soon not have a dinar or a qafiz brought to them) apply to what is happening today in Iraq in terms of weakness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The question is also about the current circumstances regarding Iraq, meaning the piling on of people now, and the global and disbelieving nations against Iraq. And a hadith has passed in the Sahih of Imam Muslim in the chapter on the signs of the Hour to the end of the hadith. So is this event, since almost all the nations in the world have gathered to ensure that nothing is brought to Iraq, is this event, may Allah know best, this as you mean according to your extensive knowledge?
The Shaykh : No, the hadith has no relation to our reality. This is a matter whose time has passed a long time ago. It is related to the issue that Iraq will be conquered, as it was before Islam. Of course, it was in the hands of the Persians, as you all know. So in this hadith, there is glad tidings that Iraq will be conquered, and that al-Sham will also be conquered. Then, due to the dominance of Islam over them, the jizyah will be brought to them from the surrounding disbelieving lands. Then this thing will be prevented from reaching Iraq and al-Sham in one of two states: either the lands that used to pay the jizyah to the Muslim state that dominated al-Sham and Iraq become Muslim, and at that time there is no jizyah on Muslims, their status being like that of Iraq and al-Sham after they embraced Islam; or these disbelieving states that used to pay the jizyah with their hands, while they are humbled, become defiant due to a weakness that befalls the Muslim state. And this actually happened a long time ago and continued to this time. A large part of the European lands used to pay the jizyah to the Abbasid Caliphate and the Umayyad Caliphate, and the details are, of course, in the depths of the books of history. But as time passed and the power of the Muslims weakened, the disbelievers became bold and prevented what they used to pay of jizyah to the Muslims. So this matter happened and ended, as Imam al-Nawawi mentioned in his commentary on Muslim. So it has no relation to what we are in in this time. Then what is the difference, if we wanted to say that this is the time of this hadith? We see the difference is very clear between Iraq, which was economically besieged by these disbelievers, and Syria, for example. Although Syria is like Iraq in that both are attached to the Ba'ath Party, while the hadith mentioned Iraq and al-Sham as well. So it is not permissible for us to apply half of the hadith because it matches the current reality, and the other half did not match, although it was authenticated as mentioned before regarding al-Sham and regarding Iraq. Yes.
The people of Iraq will soon not have a dinar or a qafiz brought to them. We said: From where? He said: From the non-Arabs, they prevent it from us.
يوشك أهل العراق ألا يجبى إليهم دينار و لا قفيز قلنا: من أين ذلك؟ قال: من العجم يمنعوناThe Shaykh : No, the hadith has no relation to our reality.
