Yazid bin Umairah, who was one of the companions of Muadh bin Jabal said: Whenever he (Muadh bin Jabal) sat in a meeting for preaching, he would say: Allah is a just arbiter; those who doubt would perish. One day Muadh bin Jabal said: In the times after you there would be trails in which riches would be abundant. During these trails the Quran would be easy so much so that every believer, hypocrite, man, woman, young, grown up, slave and free man will learn it. Then a man might say: What happened with the people that they do not follow me while I read the Quran? They are not going to follow me until I introduce a novelty for them other than it. So avoid that which is innovated (in religion), for whichever is innovated is an error. I warn you of the deviation of a scholar from right guidance, for sometimes Satan utters a word of error through the tongue of a scholar; and sometimes a hypocrites may speak a word of truth. I said to Muadh bin Jabal: I am at a loss to understand may Allah have mercy on you that a learned man sometimes may speak a word of error and a hypocrite may speak a word of truth. He replied: Yes, avoid the speech of a learned man on distract you from him (the learned), for it is possible that he may withdraw (from these well-known things), and you get the truth when you hear it, for truth has light. Abu Dawud said: In this tradition Mamar on the authority of al-Zuhrl said: The words “wa la yun iyannaka” instead of “wa la yuthniyannaka, ” with the same meaning: “it may not distract you” salih bin Kaisan on the authority of al-Zurhrl said in this tradition the words “al-mushtaharat” (well-know things). He also said the word “La yuthniyannaka” as ‘Uqail mentioned. Ibn ishaq, on the authority of al-Zuhri, said: Yes, if you are doubtful about the speech of a scholar until you say: WHAT did he mean by this word?

ابوادریس خولانی کہتے ہیں کہ   یزید بن عمیرہ ( جو معاذ بن جبل رضی اللہ عنہ کے شاگردوں میں سے تھے ) نے انہیں خبر دی ہے کہ وہ جب بھی کسی مجلس میں وعظ کہنے کو بیٹھتے تو کہتے: اللہ بڑا حاکم اور عادل ہے، شک کرنے والے تباہ ہو گئے تو ایک روز معاذ بن جبل رضی اللہ عنہ کہنے لگے: تمہارے بعد بڑے بڑے فتنے ہوں گے، ان ( دنوں ) میں مال کثرت سے ہو گا، قرآن آسان ہو جائے گا، یہاں تک کہ اسے مومن و منافق، مرد و عورت، چھوٹے بڑے، غلام اور آزاد سبھی حاصل کر لیں گے، تو قریب ہے کہ کہنے والا کہے: لوگوں کو کیا ہو گیا ہے؟ میری پیروی نہیں کرتے، حالانکہ میں نے قرآن پڑھا ہے، وہ میری پیروی اس وقت تک نہیں کریں گے جب تک کہ میں ان کے لیے اس کے علاوہ کوئی نئی چیز نہ نکالوں، لہٰذا جو نئی چیز نکالی جائے تم اس سے بچو ۱؎ اس لیے کہ ہر وہ نئی چیز جو نکالی جائے گمراہی ہے، اور میں تمہیں حکیم و دانا کی گمراہی سے ڈراتا ہوں، اس لیے کہ بسا اوقات شیطان، حکیم و دانا شخص کی زبانی گمراہی کی بات کہتا ہے اور کبھی کبھی منافق بھی حق بات کہتا ہے۔ میں نے معاذ سے کہا: ( اللہ آپ پر رحم کرے ) مجھے کیسے معلوم ہو گا کہ حکیم و دانا گمراہی کی بات کہتا ہے، اور منافق حق بات؟ وہ بولے: کیوں نہیں، حکیم و عالم کی ان مشہور باتوں سے بچو، جن کے متعلق یہ کہا جاتا ہو کہ وہ یوں نہیں ہے، لیکن یہ چیز تمہیں خود اس حکیم سے نہ پھیر دے، اس لیے کہ امکان ہے کہ وہ ( اپنی پہلی بات سے ) پھر جائے اور حق پر آ جائے، اور جب تم حق بات سنو تو اسے لے لو، اس لیے کہ حق میں ایک نور ہوتا ہے۔ ابوداؤد کہتے ہیں: اس قصے میں معمر نے زہری سے «ولا يثنينك ذلك عنه» کے بجائے «ولا ينئينك ذلك عنه» روایت کی ہے اور صالح بن کیسان نے زہری سے اس میں«المشتهرات» کے بجائے «المشبهات» روایت کی ہے اور «ولا يثنينك» ہی روایت کی ہے جیسا کہ عقیل کی روایت میں ہے۔ ابن اسحاق نے زہری سے روایت کی ہے: کیوں نہیں، جب کسی حکیم و عالم کا قول تم پر مشتبہ ہو جائے یہاں تک کہ تم کہنے لگو کہ اس بات سے اس کا کیا مقصد ہے؟ ( تو سمجھ لو کہ یہ حکیم و عالم کی زبانی گمراہی کی بات ہے ) ۲؎۔

sunan-abu-dawud-4612

Sufyan said (according to one chain), and Abu al-Salit said (according to another chain): A man wrote to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz asking him about Divine decree. He wrote to him: To begin with, I enjoin upon you to fear Allah, to be moderate in (obeying) His Command, to follow the sunnah (practice) of His Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and to abandon the novelties which the innovators introduced after his Sunnah has been established and they were saved from its trouble (i. e. novelty or innovation) ; so stick to Sunnah, for it is for you, if Allah chooses, a protection ; then you should know that any innovation which the people introduced was refuted long before it on the basis of some authority or there was some lesson in it, for the Sunnah was introduced by the people who were conscious of the error, slip, foolishness, and extremism in case of (the sunnah) was opposed. So accept for yourself what the people (in the past) had accepted for themselves, for they had complete knowledge of whatever they were informed, and by penetrating insight they forbade (to do prohibited acts); they had more strength (than us) to disclose the matters (of religion), and they were far better (than us) by virtue of their merits. If right guidance is what you are following, then you outstriped them to it. And if you say whatever the novelty occurred after them was introduced by those who followed the way other then theirs and disliked them. It is they who actually outstripped, and talked about it sufficiently, and gave a satisfactory explanation for it. Below them there is no place for exhaustiveness, and above them there is no place for elaborating things. Some people shortened the matter more than they had done, and thus they turned away (from them), and some people raised the matter more than they had done, and thus they exaggerated. They were on right guidance between that. You have written (to me) asking about confession of Divine decree, you have indeed approached a person who is well informed of it, with the will of Allah. I know what whatever novelty people have brought in, and whatever innovation people have introduced are not more manifest and more established than confession of Divine decree. The ignorant people (i. e. the Arabs before Islam) in pre-Islamic times have mentioned it ; they talked about it in their speeches and in their poetry. They would console themselves for what they lost, and Islam then strengthened it (i. e. belief in Divine decree). The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم did not mention it in one or two traditions, but the Muslims heard it from him, and they talked of it from him, and they talked of it during his lifetime and after his death. They did so out of belief and submission to their Lord and thinking themselves weak. There is nothing which is not surrounded by His knowledge, and not counted by His register and not destined by His decree. Despite that, it has been strongly mentioned in His Book: from it they have derived it, and from it they have and so ? they also read in it what you read, and they knew its interpretation of which you are ignorant. After that they said: All this is by writing and decreeing. Distress has been written down, and what has been destined will occur ; what Allah wills will surely happen, and what He does not will will not happen. We have no power to harm or benefit ourselves. Then after that they showed interest (in good works) and were afraid (of bad deeds).

Nafi said: Ibn Umar had a friend from the people of Syria who used to correspond with him. Abdullah bin Umar wrote to him: I have been informed that you have talked something about Divine decree. You should write it to me, for I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: Among my community there will be people who will falsify Divine decree.

Khalid al-Hadhdha said: I said to al-Hasan: Abu Saeed, tell me about Adam. Was he created for the heaven or the earth? He said: No, for the earth. I said: It was unavoidable for him. I said: Tell me about the following verse of the Quran: ”can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah, except such as are (themselves) going to blazing fire. ” He said: The devils do not lead anyone astray by their temptation except the one whom Allah destined to go to Hell.
