Also, to<br />search for Tabarruk and<br />blessings of Nabi Muhammad (s)<br />and pious people is Shirk and it is<br />for this reason that Sayyidina<br />Umar chopped the tree down.<br />This is a great lie and some<br />people fabricate this to suit<br />their own ideas and Sayyidina<br />Umar (r) did chop the tree down,<br />because he thought the people<br />praying there were mushriks.<br />(naoozbila)<br />That kind of a silly thought did<br />not even occur his mind.<br />This incident -“as recorded in<br />Sahih Bukhari (Kitab al-Maghazi)<br />and Muslim (Kitab al-Imamah) - “<br />took place because there was<br />controversy over which tree<br />was the one where ba'yah was<br />taken and reliable sources from<br />amongst the Sahabah held that<br />that tree was definitely the<br />wrong tree and the original tree<br />could no longer be located and<br />had vanished .<br />Sahih Bukhari Book 52 Hadith<br />205<br />Narrated Ibn 'Umar:<br />When we reached (Hudaibiya) in<br />the next year (of the treaty of<br />Hudaibiya), not even two men<br />amongst us agreed unanimously<br />as to which was the tree under<br />which we had given the pledge<br />of allegiance , and that was out<br />of Allah's Mercy.<br />The tree that the Tabi'een were<br />visiting at the Hudaybiyyah , in<br />the the time of Sayyidina Umar<br />was not the real one, but it was<br />in the same valley where the<br />real one was.<br />Hence, the real reason Umar had<br />the tree chopped down (because<br />it was wrongly attributed to the<br />Prophet (s).<br />In fact, the mysterious vanishing<br />of the real tree by Allah (swt)<br />shows how important it was<br />In the last moments of Jabir Bin<br />Abdullah he had lost his sight he<br />use to say: 'If I could see today I<br />would show you where the tree<br />was, where the Prophet (May<br />Allah bless him and grant him<br />peace) received the Ba’ya of the<br />companions”.<br />[Sahih Bukhari chap,Al-Magazi]<br />Imam Ibn Hajar Asqalani says in<br />the commentry: “Some people<br />forgot where this place was like<br />Sa ’eed Bin Al-Musayib’s Father,<br />and some knew where it was like<br />Jabir Bin Abdullah ”.<br />[Fathul bari, chapter Bay'a<br />Ridwan]<br />Imam Tabari said:<br />During the period of Umar<br />(Radiall hu anhu ’s) Khalifet, he<br />went for pilgrimage, when he<br />passed Hudaiba' he asked: “Where<br />is the tree under which the<br />bay ’a took place?” A person<br />replied: 'This one”.

[Sahih<br />bukhari volume 2,number 281]<br />Some people take this hadith<br />literally to claim that going to<br />any mosque or Shrine is Haram ,<br />According to this childish logic we<br />see<br />► All scholars who go to any<br />mosque in the world to give<br />lectures or pay visits (which<br />many do every year including<br />wahabi(ghair muqaled) school<br />scholars) are doing a haram act<br />Now let us see what Classical<br />imams (rah) said regarding this<br />issue<br />IMAM NAWAWI ON THIS HADITH<br />quoting Salafs<br />Imam Nawawi write in Sharah of<br />hadith 'Not to travel (for<br />visiting) except for three<br />mosques (Bukhari)' the true<br />meaning of hadith, He (Nawawi)<br />Write: In this haidth the Three<br />Mosques status and thier high<br />status as compaired to other<br />mosques in the world is<br />mentioned, because these are<br />mosques of the Prophets (may<br />Peace Be Upon Him) and this is<br />why offering salat in them has<br />greater blessing. (he writes more<br />that many ulemas have different<br />viewpoint regarding going to<br />Graves and going to these three<br />Mosques)<br />Near our Masters (i.e Shafi'I)<br />right Concept is that those to<br />whom Imam al-Harmain (Abu al-<br />Mali Abdul Malik al-Jiyoni) and<br />other researches of islam have<br />permitted for them its neither<br />Haram not Makruh to visit grave<br />(qaboor) for Ziyarah,<br />According to them it means that<br />to go for a journey for Sawab<br />having intentions of complete<br />and utmost blessing is only<br />permissible for these three<br />mosques. [Sharah Sahih Muslim,<br />Nawawi, Volume 009, Page No.<br />106]<br />Ibn e taymiyah said<br />He said “It is also mustahabb<br />(recommended) to visit the<br />graves of the people of al-<br />Baqee ’ and the martyrs of Uhud,<br />to pray for them and ask for<br />forgiveness for them, because<br />the Prophet (peace and blessings<br />of Allaah be upon him) used to<br />do this, but this is prescribed for<br />all the Muslim graves. ” (Majmoo’<br />al-Fataawa, 17/470)<br />Also Visiting mosque of Quba<br />apart from 3 mosques<br />For those who still after views of<br />Imam Nawawi Rah take that<br />hadith literally ,<br />The hadeeth narrated in al-<br />Saheehayn from Ibn ‘Umar (may<br />Allaah be pleased with him) who<br />said: “The Prophet (peace and<br />blessings of Allaah be upon him)<br />used to come to Quba ’ riding and<br />walking.” According to another<br />report: “and he would pray two<br />rak’ahs there.” (narrated by al-<br />Bukhaari and Muslim).<br />The Prophet (peace and<br />blessings of Allaah be upon him)<br />also said, “Whoever purifies<br />himself in his house then comes<br />to the mosque of Quba ’ and<br />prays there, he will have a<br />reward like that for ‘Umrah.”<br />►Narrated by Ahmad,<br />►al-Nasaa’i,<br />► Ibn Maajah<br />►and al-Haakim.

He said:<br />"Do you know what you are<br />doing?" When he came near him,<br />he realized it was Abu Ayyub al-<br />Ansari. The latter said: "Yes; I<br />came to the Prophet, not to a<br />stone.,<br />► Ibn Hibban in his Sahih,<br />►Ahmad (5:422),<br />►Al-Tabarani in his Mu`jam al-<br />Kabir (4:189) and his Awsat<br />according to Haythami in al-<br />Zawa'id (5:245 and 5:441 #5845<br />Book of Hajj, "Section on the<br />honoring of the dwellers of<br />Madina, chapter on placing one's<br />face against the grave of our<br />Master the Prophet " and #9252<br />Book of Khilafa, "Chapter on the<br />leadership of those unworthy of<br />it"),<br />►al-Hakim in his Mustadrak<br />(4:515);<br />► both the latter and al-Dhahabi<br />said it was sahih.<br />► It is also cited by al-Subki in<br />Shifa' al-siqam (p. 126)<br />►and Ibn Taymiyya in al-Muntaqa<br />(2:261f.)<br />Prophet's ( صلی اللہ علیھ<br />وآلھ وسلم ) Grave<br />Imam al-Dhahabi said: "Ahmad ibn<br />Hanbal was asked about touching<br />the Prophet's grave and kissing<br />it and he saw nothing wrong<br />with it. His son 'Abd Allah related<br />this from him. If it is asked: "Why<br />did the Companions not do<br />this?" ]We reply: "Because they<br />saw him with their very eyes<br />when he was alive, enjoyed his<br />presence directly, kissed his very<br />hand, nearly fought each other<br />over the remnants of his<br />ablution water, shared his<br />purified hair on the day of the<br />greater Pilgrimage, and even if<br />he spat it would virtually not fall<br />except in someone's hand so<br />that he could pass it over his<br />face. Since we have not had the<br />tremendous fortune of sharing in<br />this, we throw ourselves on his<br />grave as a mark of commitment,<br />reverence, and acceptance, even<br />to kiss it. Do you not see what<br />Thabit al-Bunani did when he<br />kissed the hand of Anas ibn Malik<br />and placed it on his face saying:<br />"This is the hand that touched<br />the hand of the Messenger of<br />Allah "? Muslims are not moved<br />to these matters except by<br />their excessive love for the<br />Prophet , as they are ordered<br />to love Allah and the Prophet<br />more than their own lives, their<br />children, all human beings, their<br />property, and Paradise and its<br />maidens.

It had been<br />her habit that if a man from<br />among the Companions asked<br />her that spot she would always<br />refuse. She herself gave the<br />following instructions before her<br />death: "Bury me with my lady-<br />friends (the wives of the<br />Prophet in al-Baqi`) [but do not<br />bury me with the Prophet in the<br />house, for I dislike to be held in<br />reverence (inni akrahu an<br />uzakka)."

The<br />prohibition, moreover, applies<br />exclusively to the grave of<br />someone venerated... under the<br />two conditions:<br />A) that the grave is of someone<br />who is honored and venerated;<br />B) and that the prayer is<br />performed towards or on the<br />grave with the intention of<br />gaining the blessing of it, or out<br />of reverence for it .
