50. They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.

﴿ وَإِن يَتَفَرَّقَا يُغۡنِ ٱللَّهُ كُلّٗا مِّن سَعَتِهِۦۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعًا حَكِيمٗا

سورة الأنفال
line

Beware of a trial that will not only befall the wrongdoers among you, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Anyone who practices medicine although he is not known to have learned medicine is liable (to compensate any damage)."

Narrated by Ibn Majah - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud
line

Anyone who claims to know medicine while he has neither knowledge nor experience in it and thus deludes people into receiving his treatment is responsible for the damages that he causes to them. In this respect, he has transgressed by cheating people and practicing something that he did not master. No difference is reported on the fact that if someone treats another and commits a transgression in the treatment process whereby the sick person who receives treatment is damaged, the treating person is responsible for the damage. The same thing applies to anyone who practices a science or a job of which he has no knowledge; he is a transgressor. If damage results from his practice, he is required to pay blood money for it. However, no retribution is to be inflicted on him, for he handled the sick person with his permission.

Anas reported that he said to Thābit: "Shall I not perform for you the Ruqyah of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said: 'Yes.' He (Anas) said: "Oh Allah, Lord of mankind, Remover of harm. Cure, You are the Curer. There is no curer but You. A cure that leaves behind no illness.”

Narrated by Bukhari
line

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) called Thābit al-Bunāni and said to him: “Shall I not perform for you the Ruqyah of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)?” He used to supplicate his Lord on behalf of the sick person to remove the illness, its severity and pain, and to grant him a cure after which no trace of illness remains. Scholars unanimously agree on the permissibility of using Ruqyah when three conditions are met: 1- It is made by reciting the words of Allah, or mentioning His Names or Attributes. 2- It is in Arabic or any other language whose meanings can be clearly identified. It is preferable to use expressions reported in Hadīths. 3- It must be believed that the Ruqyah in itself cannot be effective, rather it may be so only by the decree of Allah, the Exalted.

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two kinds of dead meat and two kinds of blood have been made lawful for you. The two kinds of dead meat are fish and locusts, and the two kinds of blood are the liver and spleen."

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by Ahmad
line

Ibn ‘Umar informs us about two Fiqhi rulings related to the lawfulness of eating some things: the first is the lawfulness of eating dead locusts and fish, and the second is the lawfulness of eating two types of blood, which are the liver and the spleen. These two rulings are exceptions to the prohibition of eating dead animals and blood.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If a fly falls into the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink) and then remove it, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is cure.” Another narration adds: “It (the fly) protects itself with the wing that has the disease.”

Narrated by Bukhari
line

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that if a fly falls into a drink, it does not affect it; rather, the person drinking should immerse the whole fly in the drink. The reason is that one of the fly’s wings carries a disease, and this is the wing that falls in the liquid. The other wing, however, carries the cure from that disease. Modern medicine has proven the validity of this piece of information, which Muslims have known for centuries; so, praise be to Allah for the blessing of Islam.

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Allah sent down the verse wherein He prohibited alcohol at a time when there was no other (intoxicant) drink in Madīnah except that prepared from dates.

Narrated by Muslim
line

In this Hadīth, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when Allah, the Almighty, revealed the verse that made alcohol unlawful to drink, there was no drink in Madīnah from which alcohol was produced except dates. This indicates that alcohol is prohibited because it causes intoxication, not because of the substance it is made from.

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every intoxicant is Khamr (alcoholic drink), and every intoxicant is prohibited. Whoever drinks Khamr in this world and dies while being addicted to it without repenting will not drink it in the Hereafter."

line

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that whatever leads to losing control over one's mental faculties is considered intoxicant Khamr, whether it is to be drunk, eaten, inhaled, or otherwise; and whatever is intoxicant and clouds the mind is prohibited and forbidden by Allah Almighty, whether it is a small or big amount. Whoever drinks any of these intoxicants on a regular basis without repenting thereof until he dies will deserve Allah's punishment, namely being deprived of drinking it in Paradise.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two black and white horned rams, which he slaughtered with his hand, as he mentioned Allah's name and said: "Allāhu Akbar" (Allah is the Most Great), and put his foot on their necks.

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
line

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered, with his hand on the day of Eid al-Ad'ha, two male sheep with white horns mixed with black, and said: Bismillāh (in the name of Allah) and Allāhu Akbar; and he placed his foot on their necks.

Zahdam ibn Mudarrib al-Jarmi reported: We were hosted by Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and he asked for the food to be served and it had chicken meat in it. A man from Banu Taymullāh entered. His complexion was red and he looked like the non-Arabs. He said to him: "Come and join us." The man, however, showed reluctance. Abu Mūsa said: "Come on, for I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) eating it."

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
line

Zahdam ibn Mudarrib al-Jarmi reported that he and other people were hosted by Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari, who served them chicken meat. Meanwhile, a man from Banu Taymullāh, who had a red complexion and looked like foreigners, came in. Abu Mūsa invited him to join them. However, he hesitated and showed reluctance. Abu Mūsa then told him that he saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) eating chicken meat.

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was once informed that so-and-so sold alcohol. ‘Umar said: "May Allah destroy so-and-so! Does he not know that the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘May Allah destroy the Jews; the fat of animals was forbidden for them, but they melted it and sold it'?"

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
line

‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed that a man used a trick: He wanted to benefit from alcohol without drinking it. So, he sold it. That was an exposed forbidden trick. Therefore, ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) supplicated against the man, just as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had done with the Jews, who resorted to similar tricks. ‘Umar said: "May Allah destroy him! Does he not know that resorting to trickery is forbidden?" This is because it features acting deceitfully towards Allah and His Messenger. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah destroy the Jews," because when Allah prohibited them from consuming animal fat, they sought to benefit from it by means of a trick. They transformed its nature by melting it and then sold it and consumed its price. They claimed that they did not actually eat the fat that was forbidden to them. They think that they deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them.

Rāfi‘ ibn Khadīj (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in Dhul al-Hulayfah when the people were stricken by hunger. They got camels and sheep as war booty. He added: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started cooking it. (When the Prophet came), he ordered the pots to be overturned. Then, he distributed the animals (of the booty), regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the camels fled and the people ran after it till they were exhausted. There were only a few horses with them. A man threw an arrow at the camel, and Allah stopped the camel with it. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some of these animals are like wild animals. So, if you lose control over one of these animals, treat it in this way." Before distributing them among the soldiers, my grandfather said: "We may meet the enemy soon and we have no knives; can we slaughter the animals with reeds?" The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Use whatever causes blood to flow, and eat the animals if the name of Allah has been mentioned before slaughtering them. Do not slaughter with teeth or claws, and I will tell you why: It is because teeth are bones and claws are the knives of the Abyssinians."
