PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 4 (Chapter – 5)

SALIH’S RESPONSE

Salih answered them saying: “O my people! Just consider, if I have a clear sign from my Lord, and He has bestowed His Mercy upon me who is there to save me from Allah if I disobey Him? What would you gain for me but perdition (punishment)?”(11:63)

This was a very polite way of argument from Saleh with his people and to invite them to the way of Allah. He said to them: What would you say if it all came true as I have said to you? What would be your excuse before Allah? Who will rescue you from Allah? You are asking me to abandon my duty. This is not possible, since it is an obligation upon me; if I abandoned it, there would be nobody to provide me with any refuge from Allah. So I am asking you to worship Allah Alone without any partners for him, until Allah judges between you and me.

But their answer was: “You are merely one of those who are bewitched” (26:153) You are just unable to perceive what you are saying. You do not understand anything because you have been bewitched by someone. They also said to him: “You are nothing, but a human like us.” (26:154)

WE NEED A SIGN - THE SHE-CAMEL

Thamud then demanded their Prophet to produce some evidence or to bring a miracle to prove his claim: “So bring a sign if you are truthful.” (26:154) Saleh said to them: “This is a she-camel, she shall have her portion of water, and you shall have your portion of water on an appointed day. And do not harm her, lest you be seized with a chastisement of a grievous day.”(26:155-156). Or as he said in another Verse: “This is the she-camel of Allah, as a sign for you, leave her to graze in Allah’s earth and do not harm her, lest you be seized by a swift chastisement.” (7:73)

Misconception in the Month of Sha'baan!

❗The Night of the 15th of Sha'baan should be singled out for Prayer, Worship, etc?

✅𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Our best Example and Role Model is the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and he Never, Ever Singled out this Night for worship or Qiyaam nor did his Sahabah.

•Shaykh Ibn Baaz Rahimahullah Said:
"There is NO Saheeh hadith Concerning the night of the fifteenth of Sha'baan. All the Ahadith's that have been Narrated concerning that are Mawdoo' (fabricated) and Da'eef (weak), and have no basis. There is nothing special about this Night, and no Recitation of Qur'aan or prayer, whether Alone or in Congregation, is Specified for this night. What some of the scholars have said about it being Special is a WEAK Opinion. It is Not Permissible to single it out for any Special actions. This is the Correct view. And ALLĀH ﷻ is the Source of Strength."
(Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/511)

🔺Misconception 2:

❗There are special prayers to be offered on this night.

✅𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

The truth of the matter is that there are NO special Prayer's to be Offered on this Night specifically. And all those "Ahadiths" giving you Long lists of special 'formulas' that are "Supposed to Guarantee you ALLĀH's forgiveness and Jannah" are all Fabricated, false and Innovations in our Deen. If there were such Prayer's, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would have told us about them and we would have had Evidence of him and the Sahabah doing it.

•The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Said:
I tell you, by Allāhﷻ, that I have WARNED and Commanded and Prohibited things that are as Important as what is in the Qur'an, if Not more so."
(Abu Dawud-- Saheeh by al-Albaani)

& ALLĀH ﷻ knows best!

PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 5 (Chapter – 5)

PRODUCE A SHE-CAMEL FROM THE ROCK

Exegetes have mentioned that Thamud gathered one day in their assembly, and the Prophet Saleh came to them and invited them to the path of ALLĀH ﷻ. He astonished them and cautioned them of the consequences of their rejection. They said to him: “If you could only produce from this rock (pointing towards a rock) a she-camel with these characteristics (and they mentioned its qualities and that it should be ten metres long).” Prophet Saleh said to them: “Tell me, if I respond to your demand, would you believe in what I am asking you to believe and regard me Allah’s Messenger?” They said: “Yes”. He took their covenant and promise for that.

THE SHE-CAMEL COMES OUT FROM THE ROCK!

Then he stood up and offered prayers to ALLĀH ﷻ, and asked ALLĀH ﷻ to respond to their demand. ALLĀH ﷻ commanded that particular rock to produce a she-camel with the qualities they had described.

When they watched this miracle with their own eyes as they had demanded, they regarded it a great thing to happen and a sign of Allah’s Omnipotence. Many of them believed in Saleh’s Message, but most of them persisted in disbelief, misguidance and stubbornness.

Now when the she-camel was produced, it had to remain and live among them, grazing wherever she wanted to graze from and drinking from wherever she wanted to drink from. When she came to the well, she drank water of that day and so they had to fulfill their need from the water next day. It is said that they drank from her milk to their satisfaction. ALLĀH ﷻ said: “She shall have her portion of water and you shall have your portion of water on an appointed day.” (26:155)

THE TRIAL OF THAMUD – SHE-CAMEL

ALLĀH ﷻ said to them: “We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them. So watch them and bear patiently. And inform them that the water is to be shared between them and her, each one will have his drink in turn.” (54:27-28)

PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 6 (Chapter – 5)

THE CONFRONTATION ON SHARING WATER

After a long confrontational situation, their leaders gathered and decided unanimously that the she-camel should be hamstrung, so that they could be relieved and get a sufficient portion of water for themselves. “So they slew the she-camel and insolently defied their Lord’s Command and challenged Saleh saying: ‘Bring us that which you threatened us with; if you are a Messenger.”’ (7:77)

The person who took the charge of slaying that she-camel was their chief Qidar bin Salif bin Junda. It is said that he was a man born out of wedlock. His action was by consensus of the people and that is why his act of slaying is regarded as the act of his whole people.

REWARD FOR KILLING THE SHE-CAMEL – WOMEN

Ibn Jarir and other exegetes have said: There were two women in Thamud, the name of one of them was Saduq who was the daughter of Mahya bin Zuhair. She was wealthy and of noble descent. She was married to one who became a believer, so she divorced him. Then she went to one of her cousins, who was called Masra bin Muharraj and suggested that if he were to kill the she-camel, she would marry him. The name of the other woman was Unaizah bint Ghunaim, nicknamed Umm Ghanmah, she was old and a disbeliever. She had daughters form her husband Dhwab bin Amr, one of the chieftains. She displayed her four daughters upon Qidar bin Salif and said if he were to kill the she-camel, he could marry anyone of them he wanted.

THE NINE CONSPIRATORS

These two youths volunteered themselves to kill her and wanted some more from the community to come forward. Seven more of them made themselves available, and so they became nine people. The Qur’an said about them:
“And there were in the city nine people who made mischief in the land and did not act righteously.” (27:48)

THE KILLING

They tried to persuade the rest of the tribe by showing the benefit of killing that she-camel. They agreed to their plan. They went out lying in wait for her. When she came out from the watering place, Masra ambushed her and aimed his arrow at her and permeated it into her shinbone.

الإمام ابن كثير ‎ - قصص الأنبياء

PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 7 (Chapter – 5)

THE SHE-CAMEL GETS HAMSTRUNG

Women came along to instigate their tribe to kill her, and uncovered their faces to the men to excite them. Qidar bin Salif came forward with his sword and hamstrung her and she fell on the ground.

The Qur’an said: “But they called their companion and he took a sword and hamstrung her. See how was My punishment and how True My warnings.” (54:29-30). And said: “When their most wretched broke forth with mischief; then the Messenger of Allah said to them: ‘The she-camel of Allah, let her have her drink. But they disbelieved him and they hamstrung her, for their sin their Lord obliterated them. And He fears not the consequence thereof.” (91: 12-15)

THE MOST WRETCHED OF PEOPLE!

Imam Ahmad has narrated from Abdullah bin Zam’ah, who said: Once the Prophet ﷺ mentioned in his sermon the she-camel and mentioned the person who killed her. He recited: “When their most wretched broke forth with mischief.” And said: “There came forward a mighty and strong person strengthened by the power of his tribe, like Abu Zam’ah.”

And it is narrated by Ammar bin Yasir, who said that the Prophet ﷺ said to Ali: “Shall I not tell you about the most wretched people?” He said: “Yes, please.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Two men, one of them is the man of Thamud who killed the she-camel and the one who hit you on your head until your beard got wet…”

THAMUD COLLECTED ALL SORTS OF DISBELIEF

“So they slew the she-camel and insolently defied their Lord’s Command and challenged Saleh saying: “Bring us that which you threaten us with; if you are a Messenger.” (7:77)
In this small statement they have collected together all sorts of disbelief:

1.They disobeyed Allah and His Messenger by committing the sin of hamstringing the she-camel which was a sign for them.

2.They hastened the punishment and they deserve it for two reasons: Firstly, the Qur’an had said: “and do not harm her, lest you be seized by a swift chastisement.” But they harmed her. Secondly, they hastened for the punishment, so they deserved it.

3.They rejected the Messenger who produced the unquestionable evidence for his Prophethood and truthfulness, which they knew in their hearts. However, their persistence in their disbelief and erroneous way and their slandering about the truth kept them away from the Truth. “But they slew her and he said: ‘Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days, this is a promise not to be belied.’” (11:65)

Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله Said:

"Whoever finds Their Joy in Salah in this Life, will find their Joy in Being close to ALLĀH ﷻ in the Hereafter, and will also Find his Joy in ALLĀH ﷻ in this World. Whoever Finds his Joy in ALLĀH ﷻ will be Content with Everything, and whoever does Not Find his Joy in ALLĀH ﷻ, will be Destroyed by his Feelings of Grief and Regret for worldly Matter's."

[al-Waabil al-Sayyib, Pg 40]

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawazuyyah رحمه الله Stated:

The Origins of Wrongdoing are Three:

1. Arrogance: It is that which drove Iblees to that which it drove him (i.e. to commit that which Iblees committed).

2. Desire: It is that which caused Aadam to be expelled from the Paradise.

3. Jealousy: It is that which caused one of the sons of Aadam to transgress against his brother.

Therefore, whoever is Protected From the Evil of these Three (traits) then InDeeD he has been Protected from Evil.

For Disbelief is from
- arrogance;
- from desires; and
- transgression and
- oppression from jealousy.

Source: al-Fawaa-id, 1/58

Due To The Sunnah

Al-Imam al-Qayyim رحمه الله Said:

«أهل السُنة يتركون أقوال الناس ﻷجل السُنة وأهل البدع يتركون السُنة ﻷجل أقوال الناس.»

❝The people of Sunnah leave the statements of the people due to the Sunnah. The people of Bida' leave the Sunnah due to the statements of the people.❞

الإمام ابن كثير ‎ - قصص الأنبياء

PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 8 (Chapter – 5)

THE CALF HOWLS THREE TIMES!

It is mentioned that when they hamstrung the she-camel, the first one who attacked her was Qidar bin Salif, may Allah curse him. He slew her and she fell on the ground. Then all of them rushed forward cutting her into pieces, when her calf watched all this, he fled from there and went onto the peak of the mountain and howled three times.

THE DEADLINE OF THREE DAYS

That is why Saleh said to them: “Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days,” i.e. excluding the day when they slew the she-camel. They could not believe even in that definite threat. When it got darker on that evening they even tried to kill Saleh and dispatch him where the she-camel had gone, according to their claim. “They said: ‘Swear a mutual oath by Allah that we shall make a night attack on him and his family and then we will say to his heir: we did not witness the slaying of his family and we are saying the truth.’” (27:49). We will kill him together with his family and then denounce their murder by disowning it.

THAMUD AND PUNISHMENT

ALLĀH ﷻ said: “And they devised a plot and We planned a plan while they did not perceive. See how was the end of their plot, for We destroyed them and their people all together. So these are their houses in utter ruin, because of the evil they committed. Surely, there is a sign in this for the people who have knowledge. And We rescued those who believed and were god-fearing.” (27:50-53)

STONES SENT TO CRUSH THAMUD

ALLĀH ﷻ sent upon those people who plotted to murder Saleh a stone which crushed them and destroyed them before their whole people were destroyed (by the Divine Punishment). When it was the morning of Thursday – which was their first day of the three days – their faces turned pale, as Saleh had warned them. In the evening they said: One day of the deadline has passed. When it was the second day, Friday, their faces were red. In the evening they called each other: Two days of the deadline have passed. When it was the third day, Saturday, their faces were black and in the evening, they said: All three days of the deadline have passed.

PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 9 (Chapter – 5)

SUNDAY – THEY PERFUMED AND WAITED FOR THE CALAMITY

When it was Sunday morning, they perfumed themselves and sat down in readiness, waiting for the punishment which was going to come to them. They had no idea what is going to befall on them, or from which side it’s going to come.

THE BLAST FROM THE SKY!

After the sun rose, a mighty blast came from the sky, and a quack from their beneath. All souls died and every movement stopped therewith. There were no noises left there. They remained in their houses squatting and lifeless and motionless. It is said that nobody was left alive except a disabled girl, whose name was Kalbah. She was the archenemy of Saleh and when she was the punishment coming, she ran away on her legs and ran fast as anything could run. She came to an Arab tribe and informed them what she has seen of the punishment inflicted upon her people. She asked them water to drink, when she drank she died.

Allah said: “As if they had never dwelt there, for Thamud disbelieved in their Lord, so obliterate Thamud!” (11:68) It seemed as though they had never lived there in such a life of comfort and abundance.

DO NOT ASK FOR THE SIGNS

Imam Ahmad has narrated from Jabir رضي الله عنهwho said: When the Prophet ﷺ passed by the Rocky Tract of Thamud, he said: “Do not ask for signs, as the people of Saleh had asked for it meaning the she-camel. She went for her water from this way and come back from that way. They transgressed against their Lord and slew her. She drank from their water one day and they drank from her milk one day. They slew her and so the Blast which Allah sent upon them from the sky, seized them except one man who was in the Haram of Allah. They asked: Who was that person, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet ﷺ said: He was Abu Righal, when he came out from the Haram, the same punishment was inflicted upon him which had inflicted his people.”

This was Because She Married him for ALLĀH ﷻ. So He told Her, “Keep Yourself for Me, don’t Marry Anyone Else.”

She got a Proposal from Muawiya Radiallahu'Anhu After Her Husband’s Death, and She Responded to the Proposal by Saying “I Cannot Marry you Because I’m Already Engaged to Abu Darda’ Radiallahu'Anhu in Jannah.” SubhānAllāh
"No Love Between Two Soul's is Greater than What is Between the Spouse's"
