How sound is the hadeeth "Praise be to Allaah who has fed me and granted me provision"?

Question:


The dua reading after eating, "Alhamdulillah hillazi atamani wa razaqanihe wa ja alani minal muslimeen" is from weak hadeth but I have not the

proof of it. some one is asking for proof. can please you explain it.


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

The wording of the hadeeth is: It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) ate or drank something, he would say, `Al-hamdu Lillaah illadhi at'amana wa saqaana wa ja'alana Muslimeen (Praise be to

Allaah Who has given us food and drink and made us Muslims)."

Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3850; al-Tirmidhi, 3457.

Shaykh al-`Albaani said in his commentary on al-Kalim al-Tayyib (189) by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah:

Its isnaad is da'eef, because the narrators were confused about it, as explained by al-Haafiz in al-Tahdheeb; and by al-Haafiz al-Mazzi before him

in Tuhfat al-Ashraaf, 3/353-354; and by Imam al-Bukhaari before them in al-Taareekh al-Kabeer, 1/1/353-354; and by al-Nasaa'i in al-Yawm

wa'l-Laylah, 288-290. And al-Tirmidhi, despite his well known lenience, did not class it as hasan,

There are similar ahaadeeth which are proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning this matter, such as the following:

Falseness of the hadeeth about Adam praying by virtue of Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon them both)

Question:

I read this hadeeth and I would like to know whether it is saheeh or not.

"When Adam committed his sin, he said, `O Lord, I ask You by virtue of Muhammad to forgive me.' Allaah said, `O Adam, how do you know of

Muhammad when I have not yet created him?' He said, `O Lord, when You created me with Your own hand, and breathed into me the soul that You

created, I raised my head and saw written on the pillars of the Throne, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Muhammad Rasool Allaah [There is no god but Allaah,

Muhammadi s the messenger of Allaah]. Then I knew that You would not mention in conjunction with Your name any but the most beloved of Your

creation to You.' Allaah said, `You have spoken the truth, O Adam. He is indeed the most beloved of My creation to Me. Pray to me by virtue of Him,

for I have forgiven you. Were it not for Muhammad, I would not have created you.'".


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

This hadeeth is mawdoo' (fabricated). It was narrated by al-Haakim via `Abd-Allaah ibn Muslim al-Fahri (who said), Ismaa'eel ibn Muslimah

narrated to us, `Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam told us, from his father, from his grandfather, from `Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be

pleased with him), that he said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "When Adam committed his sin…"

Then he quoted the hadeeth as the questioner quoted it.

Al-Haakim said: The isnaad of this hadeeth is saheeh.

This is what al-Haakim said! But a number of scholars rebuked him and denounced him for classing this hadeeth as saheeh. They ruled that this

hadeeth is false and fabricated, and they pointed out that al-Haakim contradicted himself when commenting on this hadeeth.

There follow some of their comments:

A fabricated hadeeth about the virtue of praying qiyaam al-layl on Saturday night

Question:

There is a hadeeth which says, "Whoever prays four rak'ahs on Saturday night, reciting in each rak'ah the Opening of the Book [al-Faatihah] once, and Qul Huwwa Allaahu Ahad [Soorat al-Ikhlaas] twenty-five times, Allaah will forbid his body to the Fire." Is this hadeeth saheeh or not?.


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah. This hadeeth is fabricated. It was quoted by al-Shawkaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in al-Fawaa'id al-Majmoo'ah fi'l-Ahaadeeth al-Mawdoo'ah (p. 44), as quoted in the question. He said: It was narrated by al-Jawzaqaani from Anas in a marfoo' report (i.e. attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)). But it is mawdoo' (fabricated), and the men of its isnaad are either majhool (unknown) or matrook (rejected).

Prayer at night is mustahabb on all days, and is not restricted to what is mentioned in this fabricated hadeeth.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

The hadeeth, "I ask You by the glory from Your Throne"

Question:

I read a hadeeth narrated from `Abd-Allaah ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings

of Allaah be upon him) said: "Twelve rak'ahs that you pray by night or by day, and recite the tashahhud between each two rak'ahs. When you say

the tashahhud in the last prayer, then praise Allaah and send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), then

prostrate and recite the Opening of the Book (Soorat al-Faatihah) seven times whilst prostrating, and say, `Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa

shareeka lah, lahu'l-mulk wa lahu'l-hamd wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadeer (There is no god but Allaah alone, with no partner or associate; to Him

belongs all sovereignty and to Him be praise, and He is Able to do all things),' ten times. Then say, `O Allaah, I ask you by the glory of Your Throne,

and by virtue of the mercy of Your Book, and by Your greatest name and Your glory and Your perfect words,' then ask Him for whatever you need.

Then raise your head and say the tasleem to your right and your left. And do not teach it to the foolish for they may ask (for foolish things) and have

their prayer answered."

Is this hadeeth saheeh?.


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah. The hadeeth mentioned was narrated by al-Haakim and was quoted by al-Haafiz and al-Mundhiri in al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb.

He said, It was narrated only by `Aamir ibn Khadaash al-Nisapuri. He said: our shaykh, al-Haafiz Abu'l-Hasan said: he was a narrator of munkar

(rejected) reports. He was the only one who narrated it from `Umar ibn Haroon al-Balkhi, who is matrook and mutahham (i.e., his ahaadeeth are

rejected), and

2. Allah gives him an angry look that makes the flesh of his face fall down.

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

The hadeeth, "Whoever neglects prayer, Allaah will send fifteen punishments upon him, six in this world, three when he is dying, three in the grave

and three when he emerges form the grave…" is a fabricated (mawdoo') hadeeth which is falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and

blessings of Allaah be upon him).

Concerning this hadeeth Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, in the magazine al-Buhooth al-Islamiyyah (22/329): With regard to the

hadeeth which the author of this pamphlet attributes to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning the

punishment of the one who does not pray, and which says that fifteen punishment will be sent upon him etc., this is one of the fabricated ahaadeeth

that are falsely attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as was stated by the scholars (may Allaah have mercy on

him) such as al-Haafiz al-Dhahabi in Lisaan al-Meezaan, and al-Haafiz ibn Hajar and others.

Similarly the Standing Committee issued a fatwa, no. 8689, declaring this hadeeth to be false, as it says in Fataawa al-Lajnah, 4/468. Among the

things mentioned in this fatwa which it is worth quoting here is:
