The Story Of 'Umar With Sabeegh

Naafi' (d. 117H) rahimahullaah the freed slave (Maulaa) of 'Abdullaah [b. 'Umar] radiallaahu anhumaa said:

“That Sabeegh (b. ‘Asal) al-Iraaqi started to ask questions regarding some aspects of the Qur’aan amongst the different territories of the Muslims until he came to Egypt. Then ‘Amr b. al-‘Aas (radiallaahu 'anhu) sent him to ‘Umar b. al- Khattaab (radiallaahu 'anhu), so when a messenger came to him (i.e. ‘Umar radiallaahu 'anhu) with the letter and after he had read it, he said: “Where is this man?” He (the messenger) replied: “He is on his way.” Umar (radiallaahu 'anhu) said: “Go find him, if he has left then you will surely receive a painful punishment from me.” So he brought him (Sabeegh) to him (‘Umar) and ‘Umar (radiallaahu 'anhu) said to him: "Do you ask about a newly invented matter (Muhdathah)?” Then ‘Umar sent for some wet date-palm leaves and he began to beat him with the wet date-palm leaves until his back was left with severe injuries. Then he left him until his injuries had healed up, again he returned to continually (beating) him, then again he left him until his injuries were healed up. Then again when he sent for him in order to continue with him, then Sabeegh said: “If it is that you want to kill me then kill me in a proficient manner, and if it is that you want to give me (treatment) medicine then by Allaah I have been cured.” Then he ('Umar b. al-Khattaab) permitted him to go back to his country and he wrote to Aboo Moosa al-Asha'ree: ‘Nobody from the Muslims should sit with him (Sabeegh b. 'Asal).’ Which was severe upon the man and Aboo Moosa wrote a letter back to 'Umar that he has made a good repentance. So 'Umar wrote back to him giving permission for the people to sit with him."

Shaykh Rabee mentioned: “As for ‘Umar, then his story with Sabeegh b. ‘Asal is famous and well known. Whereby, he (Sabeegh b. ‘Asal) used to cast some doubts amongst the people. So ‘Umar sent for him, and he gave him a severe beating and then put him in prison. Then he called for him another time, and he gave him another beating and put him in prison. Then at the third time he (Sabeegh) said: “O leader of the Believers, if you intend to kill me then kill me in a proficient manner. But if you want to take out what is in my head then by Allaah it has gone.” So [even after that] he (‘Umar) did not ever feel safe from him. After all that he exiled him to Iraq and ordered the people to boycott him. So this was in punishment for these doubts that he used to spread amongst the people; if you were to compare that to the innovations which are widespread [today] from the most trivial of innovations you will find a marked difference between what Sabeegh [b. ‘Asal] had and what these contemporaries have from misguidance. [Al-Mawqif as-Saheeh min Ahlil-Bid’ah by Shaykh Rabee’ b. Haadee al-Madkhalee].

Asmaa b. 'Ubayd ad-Dab’ee (d. 141H) rahimahullaah said:

“Two men from the people of Desires entered upon Ibn Seereen and said: 'O Aboo Bakr, can we narrate to you a Hadeeth (Prophetic Narration)?' He said: 'No.' They said: 'Then can we recite to you an Aayah from the book of Allaah?' He said: 'No, either both of you get up and leave or I will get up.'” He (Asmaa) said: “So they both got up and left. Then someone from the people said: 'O Aboo Bakr, what harm would it have done you if they had recited an Aayah from the Book of Allaah, the Most High?' He replied: 'Indeed I feared that they may read an Aayah to me and then distort its meaning, and consequently that settles in my heart.'”

By Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H)


So whoever senses that he has
fallen short in his statement, his action, his condition, or his
provision, or he has a change of heart then upon him is at-
Tawheed and al-Istighfaar; since in them both lies the cure...

'Abdur-Razzaaq (d. 211H) rahimahullaah said:

“Ibraheem b. Muhammad b. Abee Yahya - and he was a Mu’tazilee - said to me: ‘I see that where you are from the Mu’tazilah are many!!’ I replied: ‘Yes, and they claim that you are one of them.’ He said: ‘Will you not enter this shop with me so that I can speak with you?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Why?’ I said: ‘Since the heart is weak and the religion is not for the one who overcomes (in debate).’"

The Companions Are Safeguards For The Ummah

Aboo Burdah (radiallaahu anhu) narrated from his father, that he said: "We performed the Maghrib Prayer with the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) and then we said: ‘We should remain sitting until we pray the ‘Ishaa Prayer with him.’ He said: ‘So we remained sitting and then he (ﷺ) came out to us and said: "You are still here?" We said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah! We performed the Maghrib Prayer with you and then we said that we should sit until we pray the ‘Ishaa alongside you.’ He (ﷺ) said: "You have done well." Or "You have done the right thing." He said: ‘Then he raised his head towards the sky, and he was one who used to often raise his head (looking) towards the sky, and he (ﷺ) said: "The stars are the safeguards of the sky, so if the stars disappear then what has been promised for the sky will come, and I am a safeguard for my companions so when I pass away then there will come to my companions what they have been promised, and my companions are safeguards for my Ummah, so when my companions pass away there will come to my Ummah what they have been promised."

Explanation by Imaam an-Nawawee: "Chapter: The clarification that the remaining of the Prophet (ﷺ) is a safeguard for his companions and the remaining of his companions is a safeguard for the Ummah."

An-Nawawee said: “The meaning of this Hadeeth is that as long as the stars remain then the sky will also remain. So when the stars fall and they become scattered and dispersed on the (Day of) Judgement, the sky will become weak, and it will be cleft asunder, torn apart, and it will perish and be destroyed.

His statement (ﷺ): “And I am a safeguard for my companions so when I pass away then there will come to my companions what they have been promised.” And after me, there will come upon my companions trials and tribulations, wars, the apostation of those who apostated from the Bedouins, the differing of the hearts, and that which is similar to that from what he clearly warned from. And all of that happened.

His statement (ﷺ): “And my companions are safeguards for my Ummah, so when my companions pass away there will come to my Ummah what they have been promised.” The meaning of this is the appearance of innovations and newly invented matters in the religion, Fitan (trials and tribulations) in it, the appearance of the horns of the devil, the emergence of Rome and others against them, the violation of al-Madeenah and Makkah, and other than that.

All of these affairs are from his (ﷺ) miracles, may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon.”
