The Shaykh : The hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, states: Sunan Ibn Majah 2275Hasan (Darussalam) up to its end. Among the benefits of this hadith is the excellence of the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) teaching, which is evident in his classification and variation of speech, as he said: .
Among its benefits is that the Lawgiver may specify a matter in general terms and leave the knowledge of its details to people to investigate, and this applies to what can be understood through investigation, because he said: and did not specify them, but the scholars investigate them until they know them.
Similarly, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3508Sahih (Darussalam) and he did not specify them, but they are clarified through investigation and can be known. I only said "they are clarified" so that the doctrine of the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) regarding the attributes of Allah not be brought against us, those who say: "Allah intended a meaning other than the apparent meaning and left its knowledge to people to grasp with their minds". This is a false statement and is not like our issue, because the texts regarding the attributes are clear and distinct and do not require tahrif (distortion of a text's meaning).
Among the benefits of the hadith is that riba (usury or interest) is among the greatest of major sins, because he likened the easiest of these doors to a man marrying his mother—may Allah protect us from that.
Among the benefits of the hadith is that a person's encroachment on the honor of a Muslim is among the most severe forms of riba (usury or interest), because it does not burden him with anything, yet he increases in his encroachment on her honor and accumulates many sins without realizing it, based on his saying:. Accordingly, the superlative form refers to quantity, not quality.
Now, in the hadith as well, in the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, there is a warning against riba (usury or interest), because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) likened its easiest form to a man marrying his mother.
Among its benefits as well is the warning against the honors of Muslims, where he said:Bulugh al-Maram 7:64 Now.
There are seventy-three degrees of usury.
الربا ثلاثة وسبعون باباUsury has seventy-three doors
الربا ثلاث وسبعون باباAmong its benefits is that the Lawgiver may specify a matter in general terms and leave the knowledge of its details to people to investigate, and this applies to what can be understood through investigation, because he said:
Seventy-three doors
ثلاث وسبعون باباSimilarly, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Indeed, Allah has ninety-nine Names, whoever counts them shall enter Paradise.
إن لله تسعتًا وتسعين اسما من أحصاها دخل الجنةAmong the benefits of the hadith is that riba (usury or interest) is among the greatest of major sins, because he likened the easiest of these doors to a man marrying his mother—may Allah protect us from that.
