Wiping behind the neck during wudu is not something that was legislated by the Prophet 8 and this is to be seen as a bid’ah.

The above-fabricated khabar contradicts. the Holy Qur’an. On many occasions Allah 3% has made it clear to us that he wants for us ease and comfort not hardship. Thus Allah 5% said:

seill AK Lal pedi lt

“...Allah wants for you ease and He doesn’t want for you hardship. ””**

Even though to work and maintain one’s family is an act of worship Allah 3% prefers that one doesn’t undergo severe hardships in doing so. Because if a person’s life is hard the Shaitaan may cause him to despair and thus he starts entertaining wrong ideas about Allah 3

In another ayah Allah 3% said:

‘34 Surah Al Bagarah 2:185 104

ak PeEdnpee le aeats

“Allah doesn’t want to place you in any difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His favours upon you that you may be thankful to Him.”

It’s not piety to make the deen a burden on yourself or your family and friends. It is advisable for us to take the easiest path in deen. Those who choose the hardest path in deen get fed up and apostate because they can only endure so much and no more. In this regard the Holy Prophet “5 said: “Facilitate things in regards to religion for the people and do not make things difficult; give them glad tidings and don't drive them away from Islam.”

The extremist is the one who makes sunnah fard and makruh haraam. Striving in the path of Allah 3% means to abstain from haraam things to the best of one’s ability. Striving in Allah’s path doesn’t mean to make the deen a burden on ourselves. The person who likes to make the deen a burden on himself is showing off with piety and this is insincerity.

The beloved wife of the Prophet 3 Aisha (ra) said: “Whenever Allah’s Apostle 2 was given the choice of one of two matters, he would always choose the easier of the two as Jong as it was not Haraam to do so, but if it were sinful, he would not approach it."!?”

85 Surah Maidah 5:6. 86 Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol. 1, '” Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol. 8,

In our midst today there are many Muslims who would rather choose the harder of the two options, believing it to be piety. However this behaviour could never be piety because it is

in conflict with the example set by the Holy Prophet 3.

The ink of a scholar is holier than the blood of a martyr.

Related by Khateeb in The History of Baghdad 2/193. He also said it was a fabricated hadith.

The above-mentioned fabricated hadith gives preference to the method of dawa over jihad for spreading Islam. However the best method for spreading Islam is jihad and not dawa. Thus the Holy Prophet as spent thirteen years in Makkah giving dawa and only approximately one hundred people embraced Islam. But when he entered Makkah with military might and Shawka (power) two thousand took their shahadah in one day.

The mujaahideen conquer lands and save the entire populace from the Hell-fire by delivering Islam to them. This accomplishment is much greater than what books can do.

Also this fabricated hadith contradicts the Holy Qur’an. Allah 3% said:

“Not equal are those of the believers who sit at home, (except those who are disabled by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives, Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit at home.”"*

The Holy Prophet “= was once returning from a battle with his companions and he turned to them and said: “We have returned from the lesser Jihaad to the greater Jihaad, Jihaad-u-Nafs Jihaad Akbar i.e. to fight against your evil desires is the greatest.”

This fabricated Hadith has no chain of transmitters likewise it contradicts the Holy Qur’an. Thus Allah So spoke about the wives of Prophet Nuh *£3' and Prophet Lut *%=!! who were

both kafirs only to be destine to the Hell-fire, yet they ate with their believing husbands.

Allah 5% sets forth an example for those who disbelieve:

LSE bog Sly saly e 95 Shi 19:46 Geil Mes G3

“The wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut they were under two of Our righteous servants but they both betrayed them their husbands by rejecting their doctrine. So they Nuh and Lut avail them their respective wives not against Allah it was said: Enter the fire along with those who enter.”'“!

Ibn Kathir has used this ayah in his tafseer to refute the above-mentioned fabricated hadith. Since Kafirs, Apostates and

Hypocrites eat with the Muslims time and time again, such a hadith could never be authentic.

The spider is a shaitaan transformed by Allah so kill it.

Related by Ibn Adee who said it was inauthentic.

‘* Surah Tahreem 66:10. 109

The Holy Prophet 3 has specified what type of animals Muslims are allowed to kill and he did not include the spider as

Abu Sa’eed Al Khudri (ra) said the Holy Prophet 3 was asked which of the creatures a pilgrim in a state of Ihram could kill. He replied: The snake, the scorpion, the rat; he should drive away the pied crow, but should not kill it; the biting dog, the kite and any wild animals which attack humans.'*”

Ibn Umar (ra) said the Holy Prophet 3% said: “A Muslim is allowed to kill the above mentioned animals whether or not he is on Hajj.’"”

Also the fabricated khabar contradicts a sound hadith, which is found in Sahih Muslim: “Verily Allah did not cause the race of those which suffered metamorphosis to grow and they were not survived by young ones. Monkeys and swine had been in existence even before the metamorphosis of the human beings, i.e. the Jews.”

Whenever an animal undergoes a metamorphosis such an animal cannot reproduce, so if the spider had suffered a metamorphosis it would be unable to reproduce and consequently it would become extinct.

'4 Sahih Muslim (English trans.) Vol. 4, p. 1400, No. 6438. Some Jews in the time of Prophet Dawud *%#==5' broke the Sabbath by setting their fish nets to catch fish on Saturdays. They justified their crime by saying they didn’t do anything but instead the fish net caught the fish on their behalf. Allah’s wrath kindled upon them so He turned those who actually broke the Sabbath into swine and those who saw them violating the Sabbath and didn’t stop them He turned them into apes.
