The questioner: I mean, I heard from one of the shaykhs of some of the Sufis that he mentioned a hadith, or something similar to it, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) but he did not mention thisThe Shaykh : source from the known sources. Is this a hadith?
The Shaykh: It is his right not to cite a source for it, for he who lacks a thing cannot give it. This hadith has no basis. It is incumbent upon the student of knowledge who is discerning in his religion that whenever he hears a hadith from a narrator, he should be asked:[Al-Baqarah 2:111] He should be asked, "Where did you get this hadith from? Is it in the two Sahihs, or is it in the four Sunans? Is it in the ten Musnads? Is it... and so on." And without a doubt, he will be unable to produce it, because there is no existence for such a thing. And it is known that these Sufis, in order to support their deviation from their religion, cling even to threads of the moon, meaning they cling to illusions that have no reality.
The questioner: I heard someone say that he read that there is a hadith reported in which .
The Shaykh: Yes, this hadith has a report, but in the books of fabrications, so it is not authentic. And even if there is a difference in degree between this and that, it is from the side that this was narrated, but with a chain of narration that has no value whatsoever, unlike the first hadith.
He returned with his Companions from the expedition, from one of the expeditions, so some of his Companions gathered and stood in a circle, and one of them held the hands of the other while they were remembering Allah. Then Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan passed by them and said, "What is this play?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Rather, it is the remembrance of Allah."
عاد مع أصحابه من الغزو ، من إحدى الغزوات فاجتمع بعض أصحابه وقفوا في حلقه ومسك أحدهم بيدي الأخر يذكرون الله فمر عليهم معاوية بن أبي سفيان فقال ما هذا اللعب؟ فقال الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم بل هو ذكر اللهThe Shaykh: It is his right not to cite a source for it, for he who lacks a thing cannot give it. This hadith has no basis. It is incumbent upon the student of knowledge who is discerning in his religion that whenever he hears a hadith from a narrator, he should be asked:
Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."
هاتوا برهانكم إن كنتم صادقينThe questioner: I heard someone say that he read that there is a hadith reported in which
That Allah (Mighty and Majestic) manifests Himself to the one He loves in the form of a young boy
أن الله عز وجل يتجلى لمن يحبه في صورة شاب أمردThe Shaykh: Yes, this hadith has a report, but in the books of fabrications, so it is not authentic. And even if there is a difference in degree between this and that, it is from the side that this was narrated, but with a chain of narration that has no value whatsoever, unlike the first hadith.
