Qarinah # 2<\/p>\n
When the Ummah receives a hadith with acceptance it is necessary to act on it even if its chain is weak.<\/span><\/p>\n Hafiz Ibn Hajr Asqalani said in his \u201cal-Nukat\u201d (1\/494-495):<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the qualities of acceptance that our teacher (I\u2019raqi) did not discuss is when all agree upon acting on the content of a hadith. In such instances it is accepted so much so that it becomes compulsory to act on it. Many of the scholars of Usool have explicitly mentioned this (principle).\u201d<\/p>\n Muhaqqiq Ibnul Humaam states in his magnum opus \u201cFathul Qadeer\u201d (3\/143):<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the factors that authenticate a hadith is when the ulama practise on it. In the \u201cSunan\u201d of Daarul-qutni it is mentioned: \u2018al-Qasim and Saalim said: \u2018The Muslims have practised on it\u2019. Imam Malik said: \u2018Fame of a hadith in Madinah is a substitute for an authentic chain\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n This is why in many places of his \u201cSunan\u201d the most outstanding student of Imam Bukhari, Imam Tirmithi after classifying a hadith weak based on the principles of usulul hadith strengthen it by saying \u201cHowever the ulama have practised on this hadith\u201d.<\/p>\n Ibn Humam points out that when Imam Tirmithi says: \u201cThe ulama have practised on this hadith\u201d it necessitates that the basis of the hadith is strong even though this particular chain is weak. (See Fathul Qadeer 1\/217)<\/p>\n Hafiz Ibn Khuzaimah has even narrated a weak hadith in his compilation of authentic hadith which he named \u201cal-Saheeh\u201d because it was supported by the practise of the ulama.<\/p>\n He said (3\/80): \u201cThe chapter of a musafir leading muqemeen and the muqemeen completing their salah after the Imam is finished, if the hadith is established, because I have reservations concerning Ali ibn Zaid ibn Jud\u2019aan. However, I have given this hadith a place in my book due to the fact that none of the ulama differ on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n Rather, such a hadith is elevated to the status of a mutawaatir (widespread) hadith.<\/p>\n The great hanafi jurist and muhaddith Abu Bakr al-Jassaas states in his \u201cAhkaamul Quran\u201d (1\/386):<\/p>\n “Whichever khabar waahid (rare hadith) the Ummah receives with acceptance then it is in the meaning of a mutawaatir hadith according to us.\u201d<\/p>\n The most outstanding student of Hafiz Ibn Harj Asqalaani, Hafiz Shamsuddeen as-Sakhaawi reiterates this in his comprehensive work on Usulul Hadith \u201cFathul Mugheeth\u201d (2\/153-154) by saying:<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the Ummah receives a weak hadith with acceptance it will be practised on, based on the correct opinion, to such an extent that it will be elevated to the level of a mutawaatir hadith in that it may abrogate a definite text. This is why imam as-Shafi\u2019e said concerning the hadith, \u201cThere is no bequest for an inheritor\u201d, It is not a hadith that the muhadditheen will authenticate but the masses have received it with acceptance and practised on it so much so that they have used it to abrogate the verse concerning bequests.\u201d<\/p>\n Imam Bukhari\u2019s stance concerning this principle<\/b><\/p>\n Imam Bukhari also held this view to the point that he has even used it in the most authentic book after the Book of Allah, \u201cas-Saheeh\u201d.<\/p>\n He said in the title of a chapter of his \u201cSaheeh\u201d:<\/p>\n \u201cIt is mentioned that the Prophet (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645) commanded settling debts before discharging bequests.\u201d<\/p>\n Hafiz Ibn Hajr comments on this in \u201cFathul Baari\u201d (5\/277) by saying:<\/p>\n \u201cThe chain of this hadith is weak, however Tirmithi has said: \u2018Practising on this hadith is the opinion of the scholars.\u2019<\/p>\n Allamah Badrud-deen A\u2019yni explains in \u201cUmdatul Qari\u201d (14\/43):<\/p>\n \u201cIf you were to object that it is not Bukhari\u2019s habit to use weak hadith as evidence, I will answer, sure, however, when he saw that the ulama have practised on this hadith as Tirmithi said, he used it as a basis because it was supported by the fact that all the scholars agreed on its content.\u201d<\/p>\n NB.<\/b> The Imam of his times, concerning whom shaikh Albani admits, that if there was any one in these latter times that deserved the lofty title of \u2018al-mujtahid\u2019 it is Allamah Anwar Shah Kashmiri, so beautifully said:<\/p>\n \u201cThe chain of transmission was used to protect the Deen from things entering it that were not part of it. It, however, was not used to exclude from the Deen those things that are established in it by the practise of the people of the chain of transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n (See tatimmah at-ta\u2019leeqaat al-haafilah by Shaikh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah p. 238)<\/p>\n Wallahu A’lam<\/p>\n Qarinah # 2 When the Ummah receives a hadith with acceptance it is necessary to act on it even if its chain is weak.
