Difference between a Prophet, a Sahabi and an Imam?
﷽
Narrated Safinah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Caliphate of Prophecy will last thirty years; then Allah will give the Kingdom of His Kingdom to anyone He wills.
Sa'id told that Safinah said to him: Calculate Abu Bakr's caliphate as two years, 'Umar's as ten, 'Uthman's as twelve and 'Ali so and so. Sa'id said: I said to Safinah: They conceive that 'Ali was not a caliph. He replied: The buttocks of Marwan told a lie.
[Abu Dawud 4646] (those who wish to know further details can read the hadith of Musanaf ibn abi Shaybah 37157.
Ahle Tashee says that Ali R.A should have been the first rightful Caliph, they think that the Ahle Bait of Prophet are the rightful heirs of Khilafah that's the only difference.
Difference between a Prophet and a normal human
- Prophet S.A.W.W on one occasion said that he won't eat honey anymore, Allah corrected him، in Surah Tehreem.
- O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. [Surah Tehreem 66:1]
- Once Prophet was giving dawaah to the leaders of the Makkah and a blind Companion of Prophet came and asked something, on which he felt uneasy.
- The Prophet frowned and turned away (1) Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]. (2) But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified (3) [Surah Abasa 80:1-3]
- The captives of Battle Badr were released by taking some penalty money. Allah said that was not the right decision, in Surah Anfal
- It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allah 's enemies] in the land. Some Muslims desire the commodities of this world, but Allah desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise. [Surah Anfal 8:67]
- Prophet S.A.W.W prayed the funeral of his biggest enemy, the person who had done blasphemy countless times, the leader of Munafiqeen Abdullah ibn Ubai and after that Allah said you shouldn't have done that
- And do not pray [the funeral prayer, O Muhammad], over any of them who has died - ever - or stand at his grave. Indeed, they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died while they were defiantly disobedient. [Surah Tawba 9:85]
Did Sahaba also make wrong decisions?
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab:
People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favor the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good. [Bukhari 2641]
Anas reported that after the death of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Abu Bakr said to 'Umar:
Let us visit Umm Aiman as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to visit her. As we came to her, she wept. They (Abu Bakr and Umar) said to her: What makes you weep? What is in store (in the next world) for Allah's-Messenger (ﷺ) is better than (this worldly life). She said: I weep not because I am ignorant of the fact that what is in store for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (in the next world) is better than (this world), but I weep because the revelation which came from the Heaven has ceased to come. This moved both of them to tears and they began to weep along with her.
- Umar R.A forbade people from doing Hajj e Tamatoh on which, Ibn Abbas R.A rebuttled (Musnad Ahmad 3121), Abu Musa Ashari R.A (Muslim 2961/1222) and Ibn Umar R.A said
- Salim bin Abdullah narrated that :he had heard a man from Ash-Sham asking Abdullah bin Umar about Tamattu after Umrah until Hajj, so Abdullah bin Umar said: "It is lawful." The man from Ash-Sham said: "But your father prohibited it." So Abdullah bin Umar said: "Is the order to follow my father or is the order (to follow) for the Messenger of Allah?" The man said: "Rather it is for the Messenger of Allah." So he said: "Indeed the Messenger of Allah did it." [Jami Tirmidhi 824]
- Usman e Ghani R.A A.S also forbade people to do Hajj e Tamatoh and Mawla Ali R.A A.S rebuted
Sa'id b. al-Musayyab reported that 'Ali and 'Uthman (Allah be pleased with them) met at 'Usfan; and Uthman used to forbid (people) from performing Tamattu' and 'Umra (during the period of Hajj), whereupon 'Ali said:
What is your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did but you forbid it? Thereupon Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he ('Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone. When 'Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and 'Umra). [Sahih Muslim 1223 2694] [Sahih Bukhari 1569]
- Ali R.A burned some of the people who left Islam on which Ibn Abbas R.A said, only Allah can punish someone by burning them in fire
- It was narrated from 'Ikrimah:"Some people apostatized after accepting Islam, and 'Ali burned them with fire. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'If it had been me, I would not have burned them; the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'No one should be punished with the punishment of Allah.' If it had been me, I would have killed them; the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'" [Sunan Nasai 4060] [Musnad Ahmad 6642]
- Prophet sent a small group and appointed one Sahabi as their leader, on one issue that leader became angry and said to his fellow Sahaba who were his subordinates to jump into the fire, and he said that Prophet said to obey the leader but they didn't jump, when this was reported to Prophet, he said if you had jumped into it you would have gone into the hell fire, obey only in good matters.
Narrated `Ali:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent an army unit (for some campaign) and appointed a man from the Ansar as its commander and ordered them (the soldiers) to obey him. (During the campaign) he became angry with them and said, "Didn't the Prophet (ﷺ) order you to obey me?" They said, "Yes." He said, "I order you to collect wood and make a fire and then throw yourselves into it." So they collected wood and made a fire, but when they were about to throw themselves into, it they started looking at each other, and some of them said, "We followed the Prophet (ﷺ) to escape from the fire. How should we enter it now?" So while they were in that state, the fire extinguished and their commander's anger abated. The event was mentioned to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, "If they had entered it (the fire) they would never have come out of it, for obedience is required only in what is good." [Bukhari 7145]
- Maximum period of breast-feeding according to Imam Abu Haneefa is 30 months (2 years and 6 months)
- According to Quran it is 2 years
- Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period].....[Surah Baqarah 2:233]
- Imam Abu Haneefa R.Alai said that a salah for rain is not sunnah.[in al Hidayah] [in detail of Tirmidhi 559 it is also available on Islam 360]
- Abbad bin Tamim narrated from his uncle:"The Messenger of Allah went out with the people to seek rain. So he led them in prayer for two Rak'ah, reciting aloud in them, turning his upper wrap around, raising his hands, requesting rain, and facing the Qiblah."[Tirmidhi 556]
- There is a chapter in Musanaf ibn Abi Shaibah from hadith 37201-37687 which are all the fatwas of Imam Abu Haneefa which are against Ahadith.
Narrated `Aisha:
the wife of the Prophet, "I used to sleep in front of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with my legs opposite his Qibla (facing him); and whenever he prostrated, he pushed my feet and I withdrew them and whenever he stood, I stretched them." `Aisha added, "In those days there were no lamps in the houses." [Sahih Bukhari 513] [Mishkat 786]
