﴿ وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا

سورة مريم
line

There is none among you except that he will pass over it[20]; a decree from your Lord that must be fulfilled.

﴿ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِرَبِّهِمۡ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَمۡرُهُمۡ شُورَىٰ بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ

سورة الشورى
line

38. And those who answer the Call of their Lord [i.e. to believe that He is the only One Lord (Allâh), and to worship none but Him Alone], and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation, and who spend of what We have bestowed on them.

﴿ فَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ۩

سورة النجم
line

So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him].

﴿ قَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرۡقَدِنَاۜۗ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ

سورة يس
line

52. They will say: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep." (It will be said to them): "This is what the Most Gracious (Allâh) had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth!"

﴿ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡاْ فِيهَآۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ثَمُودَاْ كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمۡۗ أَلَا بُعۡدٗا لِّثَمُودَ

سورة هود
line

as though they had never lived there. Indeed, Thamūd denied their Lord; so away with Thamūd!

﴿ قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلۡوَحۡيِۚ وَلَا يَسۡمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ

سورة الأنبياء
line

45. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I warn you only by the revelation (from Allâh and not by the opinion of the religious scholars and others). But the deaf (who follow the religious scholars and others blindly) will not hear the call, (even) when they are warned [i.e. one should follow only the Qur’ân and the Sunnah (legal ways, orders, acts of worship, and the statements of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, as the companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did)][3].

﴿ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا يَسۡخَرۡ قَوۡمٞ مِّن قَوۡمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُواْ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا نِسَآءٞ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُنَّۖ وَلَا تَلۡمِزُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَلَا تَنَابَزُواْ بِٱلۡأَلۡقَٰبِۖ بِئۡسَ ٱلِٱسۡمُ ٱلۡفُسُوقُ بَعۡدَ ٱلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَتُبۡ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

سورة الحجرات
line

O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name [i.e., mention] of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

﴿ وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلۡحَنَاجِرِ كَٰظِمِينَۚ مَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ حَمِيمٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٖ يُطَاعُ

سورة غافر
line

18. And warn them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of the Day that is drawing near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), when the hearts will be choking the throats, and they can neither return them (hearts) to their chests nor can they throw them out. There will be no friend, nor an intercessor for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers), who could be given heed to.

﴿ وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا رَّجُلَيۡنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبۡكَمُ لَا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوۡلَىٰهُ أَيۡنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأۡتِ بِخَيۡرٍ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

سورة النحل
line

And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?

﴿ يَوۡمَ يَبۡعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓاْۚ أَحۡصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ

سورة المجادلة
line

On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together and will inform them of what they did; Allah has kept their complete record, while they have forgotten it. For Allah is a Witness over all things.

Abu Barzah Nadlah ibn ‘Ubayd al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: While a little girl was riding a she-camel that was carrying some of the people's luggage, she suddenly saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and the way of the mountain was narrow. She urged the she-camel to hurry, but it did not do so, so she said: "O Allah, let it be damned." Thereupon, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let the she-camel upon which curse has been invoked not accompany us."

Narrated by Muslim
line

There was a young girl on a she-camel that was carrying some luggage, then she saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). The mountain path was narrow upon which the people and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) were passing, so she wanted the she-camel to move quickly. She said a word that is normally used to urge camels to hurry, and then she cursed it. So the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A cursed camel should not come with us."

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 man says: People are ruined, he himself will be the most ruined among them all."

Narrated by Muslim
line

If a man says: "People are ruined" with the intention of degrading and belittling them and considering himself in a higher rank and better position than them, he shall be the most ruined among them. The wording of another narration reads: "...he man will ruin people." In this case, it means this man is a reason for their being ruined, because he causes them to despair and lose hope in the mercy of Allah. By doing so, he prevents them from returning to Allah in repentance and pushes them in the way of despair until they become ruined.

Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited Umm As-Sā'ib (or Umm al-Musayyab) and asked her: "What ails you, O Umm As-Sā'ib (or Umm al-Mūsayyab)? You are shivering!" She replied: "It is the fever, may Allah not bless it!" He said to her: "Do not curse the fever, for it removes the sins of the children of Adam the same way the bellows remove the impurities of iron."

Narrated by Muslim
line

Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) informs us in this Hadīth that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house of Umm As-Sā'ib and found her shivering. So he asked her why she was shivering and she said that it was the fever. The fever, or "humma" is a rise in the body temperature. It is an illness of many types. "May Allah not bless it": Umm As-Sā'ib supplicated against the fever that afflicted her, so the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not curse the fever." He forbade her from cursing the fever because it is from Allah's actions. Everything that is from Allah's actions, it is not permissible to curse it, since cursing the action implies cursing its Creator, the Most High. It is for this reason that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said in another Hadīth: "Do not curse the time, for, indeed, Allah is the time." It is the duty of the person who is afflicted with fever or the like of it to be patient and seek reward from Allah. "For it removes the sins of the children of Adam the same way the bellows remove the impurities of iron", i.e. fever is a reason for the expiation of sins and the raising of status. Just as melting iron over fire removes its impurities and alloys, fever removes one's minor sins and purifies him of them.

Zayd ibn Khālid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him said: "Do not curse the rooster, for indeed it awakens (people) for prayer."

An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad
line

Zayd ibn Khālid al-Juhany (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade cursing the rooster because it awakens the sleeping person for prayer with its loud crow. Another narration by Imām Ahmad and An-Nasā’i reads: “It calls to prayer.” This is why the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade cursing the rooster, because there is a manifest benefit when it awakes people. It helps them carry out an act of obedience, and anyone supports others to carry out an act of obedience deserves praise, not blame. One of the most amazing things about the rooster is that it knows the nocturnal timings and crows in them. The rooster's crowing continues before dawn and after it. Glory be to the One who guided it to do that.

Abu Qatādah al-Ansāri and Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One who serves people to drink should be the last to drink."

Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad - Narrated by Muslim
line

Whoever serves people water, milk, coffee, tea or the like should be the last one to drink.

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I gave the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) Zamzam water to drink and he drank while standing." An-Nazzāl ibn Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: ‘Ali(may Allah be pleased with him) came to Bāb Ar-Rahabah and drank while he was standing then said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) doing as what you saw me doing." ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb reported from his father, who reported from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) drink while standing and while sitting."

Narrated by Bukhari
line

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) informs us that he gave the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) water to drink from Zamzam, and he drank it while standing. Also, ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) drank while standing, and said that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did the same. Likewise, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) drinking while standing and while sitting.

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: During the Prophet's lifetime, we would eat while walking and would drink while standing.

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Ahmad
line

The practice of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with him) proves that drinking while standing is permissible, because the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) approved it. It is better, however, that man eats and drinks while s/he is seated, because this was the practice of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He neither ate nor drank while standing. It was authentically reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking in a standing position. The Hadīth in question, however, indicates that drinking in a standing position is not absolutely prohibited; rather, doing so is not the proper attitude. In other words, it is better and more perfect that one drinks and eats in a seated position; however, it is permissible to do so while standing.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No one of you should drink while standing."

Narrated by Muslim
line

The Hadīth includes the forbiddance to drink while standing. This forbiddance applies when there is no need to drink while standing, and it indicates dislike of doing that.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking while standing. Qatādah said: "We asked Anas: What about eating? He said: That is even worse - or more detestable." Another narration reads: "The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking while standing." Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should drink while standing, and whoever forgets, then let him induce vomit."

Muslim with its two versions
line

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking while standing. Then Qatādah ibn Di‘āmah As-Sadūsi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: "We asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the ruling on eating while standing? Is it forbidden like drinking? Anas replied: 'That is even worse – or more detestable (than drinking while standing).'" The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that anyone drinks while he is standing, and if someone forgot and drank while standing, he should empty his stomach. This is only recommended (not obligatory), so he will not bear sin if he does not vomit what he drank, because drinking while standing is disliked, not prohibited.

Abu Hurayrah and Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited drinking directly from the mouth of a waterskin.

Narrated by Bukhari - Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
line

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited drinking directly from the mouth of a waterskin because of the fear of harm. There could be something in it that the one drinking can not see, and it might get into his stomach.

It shows that the prohibited lusts are doors to hellfire; and it means following one’s desires that violate the Sharia
