The Bareilawis are an extreme Sufi sect that appeared in the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent, in the city of Bareilly, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh during the days of British colonialism.
The basic principles of their misguided, deviant teachings are based on exaggeration about the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the members of his household, exaggeration about the righteous, enmity towards Ahl as-Sunnah, and diverting the people away from jihad for the sake of Allah.
The founder of this sect was called Ahmad Reza Khan Taqiy ‘Ali Khan; he called himself ‘Abd al-Mustafa.
He was one of the misguided extremists. He used to say: “When you are confused, seek help from the occupants of the graves.”
In his extreme exaggeration about the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), he said: “The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is in control everywhere; he is the king of earth and the sovereign of mankind.”
And he said: “O Muhammad, I cannot say that you are Allah and I cannot differentiate between you and Him; your matter is for Him to judge, for He knows best what you really are.”
And he said: “Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, gave the one who brought the Qur’an, our master Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), everything that is in al-Lawh al-Mahfooz.”
And he said: “The Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is light from the Light of Allah, and all of creation comes from his light.”
Amjad ‘Ali, one of their leaders, said: “The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is a deputy of Allah with complete authority, and the entire universe is under his control. So he does whatever he wants, he gives whatever he wants to whoever he wants, he takes whatever he wants, and there is no one in the universe who can alter his rule. He is the master of humans and whoever does not make him his sovereign is deprived of the sweetness of the sunnah.”
And he said: “Those who reject seeking help from the Prophets and saints and from their graves are heretics.”
Ahmad Yar Khan – one of their shaykhs – said: “The shar‘i meaning of the one who is present and watching [this refers to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him] is that the one who is possessed of holy power is able to see the world like the palm of his hand from the place where he is; he can hear sounds from near and from far; he can go around the world in a single moment; he helps those who are in need and he answers those who call on him.”
They used to build structures over graves and frequent them, lighting candles and lamps in them, offer sacrifices to them in fulfilment of vows, seeking barakah (blessing) from them, holding celebrations for them, putting flowers and roses and cloths on them and putting curtains around them, and calling their followers to circumambulate the tombs, seeking barakah from them.
See: al-Kashf ‘an Haqeeqat as-Sufiyyah (1/350); as-Sufiyah: Nash’atuha wa Tatawwuruha (p. 62); al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Muyassarah fi’l-Adyaan wa’l-Madhaahib wa’l-Ahzaab al-Mu‘aasirah (p. 302-306).

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas were asked:
There is a certain group in Pakistan that is called the Bareilawis or the Nawaari group, named after their current leader who is known as Nawaari. I asked you for the shar‘i ruling concerning them and their beliefs, and praying behind them, so that this may bring peace of mind to many people who do not know the truth about them. And once again, I would like to ask you about some of their myths and widespread beliefs:
1. The belief that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is alive
2. The belief that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is present and can see what is happening, especially immediately after Jumu‘ah prayer.
3. The belief that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) will definitely intercede for them.
4. They believe in the awliya’ (“saints”) and the occupants of graves, and they pray at their graves and ask them to meet their needs.
5. They build domes over graves and put lights in them.
6. They are known to say “Ya Rasool, Ya Muhammad (O Messenger, O Muhammad) (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
7. They get angry with the one who says Ameen out loud and raises his hands when praying, and they regard him as a Wahhaabi.
8. They find it very strange when the siwaak is used at the time of prayer.
9. They kiss their fingers during wudoo’, at the time of the adhaan, and after prayer.
10. Their imam always recites the verse “Allah sends His Salat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad ) and also His angels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive him)” [al-Ahzaab 33:56] after prayer, then all the worshippers send blessings upon the Prophet in unison and loudly.
11. They gather in circles after Jumu‘ah prayer, standing, reciting and reciting poetry in praise of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) loudly.
12. After completing the recitation of the Holy Qur’an in Taraweeh prayer in Ramadan, they make a great deal of food and distribute it in the forecourt of the mosque, as well as sweets.
13. They build mosques and adorn them elaborately, and they write over the mihraab “Ya Muhammad (O Muhammad)”.
14. They regard themselves as followers of the Sunnah and correct ‘aqeedah (belief), and think that others are in the wrong.
What is the shar‘i ruling on praying behind them?
They replied:
It is not permissible to pray behind one who is like this, and if one who knows that the belief of the imam is like that prays behind him, his prayer is invalid, because most of the things listed are characteristics of kufr (disbelief) and bid‘ah (innovation) that are contrary to the Tawheed (affirmation of the Oneness of Allah) with which Allah sent His Messengers and which He revealed in His Books. It is contrary to the clear meaning of the Qur’an, such as the verses in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, you (O Muhammad ) will die and verily, they (too) will die” [az-Zumar 39:30] and “And the mosques are for Allah (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allah” [al-Jinn 72:18]. The innovations that they do should be denounced in a gentle way; if they accept it then praise be to Allah. If they do not accept it, then shun them and pray in the mosques of Ahl as-Sunnah. We have a good example in the Close Friend (Khaleel) of the Most Merciful, as Allah tells us he said (interpretation of the meaning): “And I shall turn away from you and from those whom you invoke besides Allah. And I shall call on my Lord; and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord” [Maryam 19:48].
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah, 2/396-398
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on praying behind an imam from the Bareilawi sect, who believes that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is alive and present and can see us?
He replied: If they believe that, then they have gone against ijmaa‘ (consensus of the ummah), and if they seek his help, then that is shirk, so it is not permissible to pray behind them. End quote.
Thamaraat at-Tadween, p. 8
I assume that the brelvis them expanded from uttar pradesh to Syria where Imam Ibn Taymiyyah was the imam of a mosque that had a mausoleum to a prophet.
They also spread to Chechnya and to Somalia and to Timbuktu where they created the city of 300 saints.
They also got to the middle east and influenced Salahuddin Ayyubi, and then centuries later influenced the Ottoman Caliphate that ruled for 6 centuries.
They also spread to Madinah and created shelters over all the graves in Jannatul Baqee.
All of that centuries before the world brelvi even existed.
Time travel!
(before you get onto your high horse, I have not defended the actions mentioned in your post, just posted up something which is contradictory to your views, which should show you the ridiculousness of some of them. I dont need to defend others.)
You are not one qualified to argue about such matters, so refrain from it - either accept that you can understand and quote qur'an and hadith (and thus expand on the issue of the qur'an using the word "Nur"), or leave it to those that know better and be happy as a follower. This yearly/6-monthly attempt at raising the same issues over and over again gets tiring and I am not on here as often so I dont really want to waste all the time I spend on here on you, especially as I know that you are not one with an open mind that is willing to consider that maybe what he is saying is less than perfect and that there may be other ways.
You get those that discuss islam to learn and teach, and those that are out to fight for the sake of argument.

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم) said: “No people will go astray after having being guided except that they become argumentative.”
(Reported by Ahmad in al-Musnad, 5/252; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5633)
salahuddin ayubi followed the third stage of ashari aqeedah which is opposite to sufis, furthes proof of this is the alazhar madrasha which was the school of salahuddin ayubi and they still use the very same sources used by salahuddin ayubi this is further proven by his nooruddin zinkee views who in fiqh follwoed hanafi fiqh and salahuddin follwoed shafi, you obviously never read a single biography of salahuddin ayubi if you did you wouldve known this basic part
so do your research before opening your mouth as you proved youeself ignorant again on these matters again
you dont even have a single backing of any shcoals of the past with your noor view and you talk big you cant even provide any evidence of any words of yours all you have are your own blind view with no reference of anything
ottoman became sufis later during the end of their caliphate suleiman the magnificient muhammad al fatih sultan abdul hamid none fo these caliphs were sufis and it is no surprise that it was the corrupt ones who were sufis and bought the empire down quicker
somalians these muslim coutnries you mention it is no surprise sufism spread to those parts with your fake sainsts it would take coutnries liek that to spread your lies who were early later muslims compared to iraq egypt syria etc so your lies coul easily spread their
you didnt just spread in madinah but you spread in makkah and then you got kicked out of their after your humilating defeat
and of course you were in madinah why else would imam malik get the chance to do this for sufis in madinah
Qadi Iyad said about Imam Malik on the authority of Al-Tinnisi:
كنا عند مالك وأصحابه حوله فقال رجل من أهل نصيبين يا أبا عبد الله عندنا
قوم يقال لهم الصوفية يأكلون كثيراً ثم يأخذون في القصائد ثم يقومون
فيرقصون. فقال مالك: أصبيان هم? قال لا. قال أمجانين? قال لا، قوم مشائخ
وغير ذلك عقلاًء. قال مالك ما سمعت أن أحداً من أهل الإسلام يفعل هذا. قال
الرجل يل يأكلون ثم يقومون فيرقصون نوائب ويلطم بعضهم رأسه وبعضهم وجهه
فضحك مالك ثم قام فدخل منزله. فقال أصحاب مالك للرجل لقد كنت يا هذا
مشؤوماً على صاحبنا، لقد جالسناه نيفاً وثلاثين سنة فما رأيناه ضحك إلا في
هذا اليوم
“We were with Malik while he was surrounded by his companions, when a
man belonging to the people of Nasibin said, ‘There is a group of people
among us called Sufis. They eat excessively, then they begin to sing,
and then they get up and dance.‘ Malik asked him, ‘Are they children?‘
The man replied, ‘No.’ Malik asked, ‘Are they insane?‘ The man
replied, ‘No. They are a group of mashayikh [religious scholars] and
other intelligent people.‘ Malik replied, ‘I have never heard of anyone
from the people of Islam doing such a thing.’ The man said, ‘But these
people eat, and then get up and dance tirelessly, some of them striking
their heads, and some striking their faces.‘ Hearing this, Malik
laughed, then rose and went inside his house. The companions of Malik
said to the man, ‘Verily you have brought bad omen to our companion. We
have been in his company for more than thirty years, and we never saw
him laugh until this day.’
[“Tartib al-Madarik”, 2/54].
Abd al-Malik ibn Ziyad al-Nasibi said: ‘We were with Malik when I
mentioned to him Sufis in our city. I said to him that they wear fancy
Yemenite clothes, and do such and such. He replied, ‘Woe to you! Are
they Muslims?’ He then laughed until he lay on his back. Some of his
companions said to me, ‘What is this? We have not seen more trouble
(fitna) caused to the Shaykh than you, for we never saw him laugh!?’
Narrated by al-Khallal in al-Hathth
besides what you said shai can also say the same thing does that make them on the right path aswell?
they existed before sufis, they started in iraq spread in iran egypt syria and today all over the world so how does that make your sufi case any different this is how qadiani are aswell they started in one place and spread all deviants are like this so again how does this tale of your make you any special?
"If one of you sees something wrong, let
him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if
he cannot, then with his heart and this is the weakest faith." Some
versions add: "there is no part of faith behind that, not even so
much as a mustard seed."
what are you so happy about this when it is harram
Abu'l-Hayyaj al-Asadi told that 'Ali (b. Abu Talib) said to him: Should I not send you on the same mission as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling It. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (Do not leave) a picture without obliterating it."
[Sahih Muslim 2:2115]
your comment shows your ignorants
i said dont make tafsir on the verses of the quran yourself so show the tafsir of scholars who have already written them
when lloking at a verse of the quran understanding it is important otherwise we become people like you with corrupted lost beleifs and sprad evil within the ummah with fabrication lies and flasehood
verses of the quran clearly state muhammad is created from clay i might not be able to make tafsir on this verse but i can understand it but even then i will need to look at schoalrly view on thsi who use evidence to prove this verse means that such as commentry by muhamamd saw sahaba ra tabieen tabitabieen etc
tafsir ibn kathir did this and so did other tafsirs so i am learning and following tafsir of the quran by scholars not my own understanding and especially not from some wali who recieves this information in a dream
unlike you i dont care whether a person is open minded or not i will make an attempt to teach them the truth regardless
something you obviously lack because you lack humbleness, lack understanding in guidance of allah, lack any humility and certainly lack the teachers to teach you these things
in regards to quran hadith again wnhy should i listen to yuor explanation of quran verses when better man then you hav ealready explained it which shows you dont follow classical islam or the real islam you follow your own translated islam which si not shared by the sahaba ra the salafs or the classical scholars
name one of them 4 caliphs 4 imams ibn taymiyyah ibn kathir who share your view of nur in quran
so allah says he is the noor of the universe so what you gonna say allah is noor light jibrail as is noor
this is why i posted this for you to knoe the correct aqeedah
http://www.missionislam.com/knowledge/books/creed_4_imaams.pdf
to further prove you dont follow the aqeedah of classic muslims
When you are quoted qur'an or hadith that you cannot answer, you will simply reply "this is for the scholars to discuss" or ignore it, so why are you arguing when you will never stand your ground?
If you are given an alternative explanation for ahadith you quote, you will not accept them as they are not from your favoured scholars.
Further, in your viewpoint, using the internet for religious matters (as opposed to non religious matters) is bid'ah.
So you come here wanting to discuss things, when you get shown an alternative way with sources, you jump back to "oh, lets go back to the tafsiirs" (of which btw there are many) because you cant refute the arguments.
I understand and agree with referring back to the tafsirs. but it is hypocritical of you to say so after demanding and forcing debate upon others.
Quoting random questions of Islam-qa where random things are linked together which have no link other than to slander does not support your point.
From your very link on the book on creeds, the very dfirst thing that comes in it is:
So at a minimum you refuse to act on your own beliefs and in accordance to the books you ask others to follow.
(PS that is not a classical book.)
Besides, when a teacher teaches a student who teaches his student, who teaches his student etc, to find out the views of the teacher it is best to ask the student than a new historian a milenium later who says "actually, ignore the student, we dont agree with him or them all, but WE will jump to the past and tell you". In past incarnations you have posted quotes on behalf of the imams which were half quotes and missed out important segments of the quotes in order to promote your own viewpoint.
Saying all that, the book may be a good book but I wont read it. I have more pressing converns for my time and I am wasting enough of it on you, I dont intend to read a book just to refute your points when you yourself and icapable of making them without cutting and pasting random stuff off the internet.
"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.
What?
Maybe that is your argument, buit no.
The Prophet is creation. He is created as God saw fit. My view is that we should not limit the power of God in this matter and its not even an issue of debate either as if you have seen my posts on here from before you posted, you will know that I do not think that if a person believes the prophet to be made of light or not to be of issue, but rather whether the person believes that God has the ability to make the prophet how He (swt) sees fit.
you may not have noticed this, but I have refrained from attacking your beliefs. I could equally do the same, accuse them of being like shirk etc, but that would not be helpful.
You just want to fight and I was sort of up for it til I read some posts by wiser members.
(PS your quotes about sufism are not actually about sufism - they are about people who also did other things which would go against the ideas of sufism, which is more or less "zuhd" from ahadith. Eg sufism does not encourage over eating, which you mention in your cut and paste job from elsewhere. Other things too.)
I choose not to. Like when I refuted your earlier point about actions having happened before te woprld brelvi even existed, you twisted and turned and decided to compare Muslims to Qadiyanis, you are not here for reasoned discussion but to throw grenades.
I need to respond to some and I should respond to more in a better way to not let others get confused by your posts, but that is time consuming as replying takes longer than cut and pasting random material from elsewhere.
Besides, when I quoted the Qur'an that was not enough for you. You want to go to the classical sources, but when they are quoted to you, you go to more modern sources. You will never except what I post, even if I do quote scholars of the past.
I was not challenging you or suggesting that I had more knowledge. I was just stating that if there is an argument made that is convincing, you will not accept it and state that its a matter for scholars and then you will still follow the same people you already do. So arguing with you is futile for your sake.

I pray Allah guides us all
it is not about being from favoured scholars its about making sense or not, i showed evidence from the 4 imams, ibn taymiyyah ibn kathir hasan al basri and many others, so what you have a problem with these schoalrs, dont agree with their views, you have your own sets of classical schoalrs like the shia do? who are they, what are their names, show their evidence
their are many tafsir but their only a few correct ones, the correct ones are again seen by the evidence which they provide, again we go back to classic schoalrs view we see commentry on quran by the early tabieeens and later tabieens and others and we can see whos view matches theirs and whos doesnt, we look at tafsir ibn kathir, tafsir tabari ibn jawzi tafsir
these have been stated as the best tafsir
1 – Tafseer al-Tabari
Imam Muhammad ibn Jareer al-Tabari was born in 224 AH and died in 310 AH, at the age of eighty-six, in the region of Tabaristan.
His Tafseer is entitled Jaami’ al-Bayaan fi Ta’weel Aayi-‘l-Qur’aan.
Abu Haamid al-Isfaraayini said: If a traveller were to travel to China in order to obtain it, that would not be too much.
Tabaqaat al-Mufassireen by al-Dawoodi, 2/106.
Ibn Khuzaymah said: I have read it from beginning to end and I do not know of anyone on the face of the earth who is more knowledgeable than Ibn Jareer.
Siyar A’laam al-Nubala’, 14/273.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: With regard to the Tafseers that are in circulation among the people, the most sound of them is the Tafseer of Muhammad ibn Jareer al-Tabari, for he mentions the views of the salaf with proven isnaads, and there is no bid’ah (innovation) in it, and he does not transmit reports from dubious sources such as Muqaatil ibn Bukayr and al-Kalbi.
Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 13/358.
He also said in Muqaddimah fi Usool al-Tafseer (p. 35), concerning the Tafseer of Ibn Jareer:
It is one of the best and greatest of Tafseers.
He relied on the views of three generations of mufassireen among the salaf, namely the Sahaabah, the Taabi’een, and the followers of the Taabi’een, and he quotes their opinions with isnaads going back to them. This is an important feature of his book which is not present in many of the books of Tafseer that are in circulation among us. But this feature does not matter to many ordinary Muslims who are not able to research isnaads and distinguish sound isnaads from weak ones; all they want is to know whether an isnaad is sound or weak by means of a clear and brief statement to that effect.
When he has finished quoting their opinions, he states which he thinks is most likely to be correct, then he describes how he reached that conclusion.
2 – Tafseer Ibn Katheer
His full name is Abu’l-Fida’ Ismaa’eel ibn Katheer al-Dimashqi, d. 774 AH.
His Tafseer is entitled Tafseer al-Qur’aan il-‘Azeem.
Al-Suyooti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said concerning this Tafseer: Nothing like it has ever been written.
Tadhkirat al-Huffaaz, p. 534.
This Tafseer is based on commentary by quoting texts – verses and ahaadeeth – and its fame is second to the fame of al-Tabari among later scholars.
It is written in an excellent and easy style which is not longwinded or boring, or too short and boring.
He explains verses by quoting other verses, and he quotes appropriate verses which explain the verse under discussion; then he quotes ahaadeeth that have been narrated on the same topic as the verse, and he quotes the isnaads of some, especially those that were narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, as he is one of those who memorized al-Musnad. He discusses the soundness and weakness of the ahaadeeth in most cases, which is an important feature of his Tafseer. Then he quotes the views of the salaf, including the Sahaabah and Taabi’een, and he states which view he believes to be superior. He also avoids odd dissenting opinions.
Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Kataani said of it: It is full of ahaadeeth and reports with the isnaads of those who narrated them and discussion of how sound or weak they are.
Al-Risaalah al-Mustatrafah, p. 195
till now you havent even shows any evidence so dont act like you did you showed verses of the uran which you dont evne know the meaning of or understand, when looking at verses of the quran you dont just look at it and assume it emans this like you do, you dont even have the knowledge to make judgement on fiqh what makes you think you can understand the verses of the quran by just looking at it
just by posting a verse of the quran doesnt mean its evidence, you have to know what thagt verse actually means for that you need backing of those who are qualified to do that, in fiqh matters we can say based on him and him this view is considered weak or strong, but we cannnot say ourselves this is weak because i think so or storng because i think so
in a debate evidence must be provided, if hadith si given explanation of the hadith must be given/the science of hadith, if quran verse is given explanation msut be given or the likes of you take verses of quran and twist and turn it to match your desires something your a expert in
islam a provides evidence somethign you cant
i gave my view on things your the one who started the debate/discussion
if you dont use tafsirs then how can you udnerstand verses of the quran pir will reveal these in your dreams
since when are you people of sunnah?
typical arrogant blind sufi
what incomplete quotes did i show you show it to me your liek a dog who can bark but cant bite
in other words you cant prove your points so you just make random points and runa way from them
like a 100 times now i ahve quoted imam maliks view on sufi and you couldnt answer it so you ignore it
yo have noithing to attack and sufis are cowards anyway your not man enough to do that
sufis are of different types some say dancing is harram others say it is halal, amongst them is those who eat a lot some who do opposite, some do the hu hu hu thing, others reject, someone with knowledge wouldve figured this out
sufis and shais are of different types kafirs and those who are deviants, the ones who match qadiyanis are the kafir ones the deviants well you fit in with likes of mutazilla , its not becasue you choose not to its becasue you havent been taught what to do in what situation
those random amterial have backings
your words have no backing but a words of a random guy which ahs no links to islam
thats becasue you dont even knwo waht thsoe verses of th quran mean, so now you are too good to take meaning of verses of the quran from scholars, you do all this yourself, i never accept because you dont even give a reference to where you get it from
[/quote]
your lack of effort sure proves that you want to correct people
when the shia emerged ali ra didnt look at whether they will listen or not he firts attempted to correct them when that didnt work he then went on with the enxt stage same with khawarij
you obviously possiblyclueless to this for all you mustve learnt is different forms of dhikr and do that day and night
if you want to prove soethign show the evidence
such as the meaning of the verses of the quran dont assume they mean this prove that they mean this
anyway all you are is:
Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path). 2:18
Can he give fatwas based on what he hears or reads?
If someone asks me about an Islamic issue, should I give him an answer according to what I read in Islamic books or heard on Islamic tapes or programs? Or shall I say I do not know?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If someone asks you a question and you know the ruling on it from books and tapes whose authors are trustworthy, or from a trustworthy program, then it is obligatory for you to tell them of the shar’i ruling, because if you know the ruling from the sources we have mentioned, then it is an obligation for you to tell people of the shar’i ruling if you are asked, otherwise you will be included among those who conceal knowledge. But it is good if you say “So and so said such and such in such and such a program” or “So and so said on such and such a tape” or “So and so said in such and such a book” so that you will be absolved of responsibility. End quote.

This bit is interesting:
1. You are critical of people for reciting the qur'an.
2. You miss out the next section of the surah which, paraphrased, means "Oh you who believe, send copious salutations upon the prophet (saw)" which is a command.
3. Then you criticise people for actually following the comamnd of God in the Qur'an.
and then you have the temerity of coming on here and calling those who follow the qur'an and sunnah kaafirs. Keep doing that and you will be banned - I could also sling mud and question your faith, and it is easy as you will know from encounters in the years past but I have tried to keep things more civil than that this time.

this is reffering to saying sallallahualaiyuwasalam and the dua allahummaswalliala
The Command to say Salah upon the Prophet
Al-Bukhari said: "Abu Al-`Aliyah said: "Allah's Salah is His praising
him before the angels, and the Salah of the angels is their
supplication.'' Ibn `Abbas said: "They send blessings.'' Abu `Isa
At-Tirmidhi said: "This was narrated from Sufyan Ath-Thawri and other
scholars, who said: `The Salah of the Lord is mercy, and the Salah of
the angels is their seeking forgiveness. There are Mutawatir Hadiths
narrated from the Messenger of Allah commanding us to send blessings on
him and how we should say Salah upon him. We will mention as many of
them as we can, if Allah wills, and Allah is the One Whose help we seek.
In his Tafsir of this Ayah, Al-Bukhari recorded that Ka`b bin `Ujrah
said, "It was said, `O Messenger of Allah, with regard to sending Salam
upon you, we know about this, but how about Salah' He said:
«قُولُوا:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ
عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ
عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيد»
(Say: "O Allah, send
Your Salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent
Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are the Most
Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad
and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the
family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.'')''
Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn Abi Layla said that Ka`b bin `Ujrah met
him and said, "Shall I not give you a gift The Messenger of Allah came
out to us and we said, `O Messenger of Allah! We know how to send Salam
upon you, but how can we send Salah' He said:
«قُولُوا:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ
عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ
عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيد»
(Say: "O Allah, send
Your Salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent
Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are the Most
Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad
and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the
family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.'')''
This Hadith has been recorded by the Group in their books with
different chains of narration.
The Command to say Salah upon the Prophet
Al-Bukhari said: "Abu Al-`Aliyah said: "Allah's Salah is His praising
him before the angels, and the Salah of the angels is their
supplication.'' Ibn `Abbas said: "They send blessings.'' Abu `Isa
At-Tirmidhi said: "This was narrated from Sufyan Ath-Thawri and other
scholars, who said: `The Salah of the Lord is mercy, and the Salah of
the angels is their seeking forgiveness. There are Mutawatir Hadiths
narrated from the Messenger of Allah commanding us to send blessings on
him and how we should say Salah upon him. We will mention as many of
them as we can, if Allah wills, and Allah is the One Whose help we seek.
In his Tafsir of this Ayah, Al-Bukhari recorded that Ka`b bin `Ujrah
said, "It was said, `O Messenger of Allah, with regard to sending Salam
upon you, we know about this, but how about Salah' He said:
«قُولُوا:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ
عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ
عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيد»
(Say: "O Allah, send
Your Salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent
Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are the Most
Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad
and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the
family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.'')''
Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn Abi Layla said that Ka`b bin `Ujrah met
him and said, "Shall I not give you a gift The Messenger of Allah came
out to us and we said, `O Messenger of Allah! We know how to send Salam
upon you, but how can we send Salah' He said:
«قُولُوا:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ
عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ
عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيد»
(Say: "O Allah, send
Your Salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent
Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are the Most
Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad
and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the
family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.'')''
This Hadith has been recorded by the Group in their books with
different chains of narration.
Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Humayd As-Sa`idi that they said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can we send Salah upon you'' He said,
«قُولُوا:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ، كَمَا
صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ
وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ
مَجِيد»
(Say: "O Allah, send Your Salah upon Muhammad and
his wives and offspring, as You sent Your Salah upon Ibrahim, and send
Your blessings upon Muhammad and his wives and offspring, as You sent
Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, verily You are Most
Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.'')'' It was also recorded by the rest of
the Group, apart from At-Tirmidhi.
Muslim recorded that Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari said: "We came to the
Messenger of Allah and we were with Sa`d bin `Ubadah. Bashir bin Sa`d
said to him, `Allah has commanded us to send Salah upon you, O Messenger
of Allah. How can we send Salah upon you' The Messenger of Allah
remained quiet for so long that we wished that he had not asked him,
then the Messenger of Allah said:
«قُولُوا:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ
عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ
مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ،
إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَالسَّلَامُ كَمَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُم»
(Say:
"O Allah, send Your Salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of
Muhammad, as You sent Your Salah upon the family of Ibrahim, and send
Your blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You
sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim among all people, verily
You are Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.'' And the Salam is as you
know.)'' This was also recorded by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i, At-Tirmidhi and
Ibn Jarir. At-Tirmidhi said, "It is Hasan Sahih.''
Saying Salah upon the Prophet before the Supplication
Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi reported the following Hadith
and graded it Sahih; An-Nasa'i, Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hibban recorded in
their Sahihs that Fadalah bin `Ubayd, may Allah be pleased with him,
said: "The Messenger of Allah heard a man making supplication in his
prayer when he had not praised Allah or said Salah upon the Prophet .
The Messenger of Allah said:
«عَجِلَ هَذَا»
(This man is rushing.) Then he called him over and said, to him or to someone else,
«إِذَا
صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِتَمْجِيدِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
وَالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ لْيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ثُمَّ لْيَدْعُ
بَعْدُ بِمَا شَاء»
(When any one of you supplicates, let
him start by praising and glorifying Allah, may He be exalted, then let
him send Salah upon the Prophet, and after that let him make
supplication as he wishes.)''
The Virtue of saying Salah upon the Prophet
Another Hadith At-Tirmidhi recorded that Ubayy bin
Ka`b said: "When two thirds of the night had passed, the Messenger of
Allah would get up and say,
«يَاأَيُّهَا
النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا اللهَ، اذْكُرُوا اللهَ، جَاءَتِ الرَّاجِفَةُ
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ، جَاءَ الْمَوْتُ بِمَا فِيهِ، جَاءَ الْمَوْتُ
بِمَا فِيه»
(O people, remember Allah, remember Allah, the
first blast of the Trumpet has come and will be followed by the second
blast, death has come with all its horrors, death has come with all its
horrors.)'' Ubayy said, "I said, `O Messenger of Allah, I send a lot of
Salah upon you, how much of my prayer should be Salah upon you' He said,
«مَا شِئْت»
(Whatever you want.) I said, `A quarter' He said,
«مَا شِئْتَ، فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَك»
(Whatever you want, but if you increase it, it will be better for you.) I said, `Half' He said,
«مَا شِئْتَ، فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَك»
(Whatever you want, but if you increase it, it will be better for you.) I said, `Two thirds' He said,
«مَا شِئْتَ، فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَك»
(Whatever you want, but if you increase it, it will be better for you.) I said, `Should I make my whole prayer for you' He said,
«إِذَنْ تُكْفَى هَمُّكَ، وَيُغْفَرُ لَكَ ذَنْبُك»
(This
would be sufficient to relieve your distress and earn you forgiveness
of your sins.)'' Then he said: "This is a Hasan Hadith.''
Another Hadith
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Talhah said that the Messenger of Allah
came one day looking happy. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we see
that you look happy.'' He said,
«إِنَّهُ
أَتَانِي الْمَلَكُ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَمَا يُرْضِيكَ أَنَّ رَبَّكَ
عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ
أُمَّتِكَ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا، وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ
أَحَدٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ إِلَّا سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا، قُلْتُ: بَلَى»
(The
angel came to me and told me, "O Muhammad, would it not please you if
your Lord, may He be glorified, says: `No member of your Ummah sends
Salah upon you but I send Salah upon him tenfold, and no member of your
Ummah sends greetings of Salam upon you but I send greetings of Salam
upon him tenfold''' I said, "Of course.'') This was also recorded by
An-Nasa'i.
Another Chain of Narration
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Talhah Al-Ansari said: "One morning the
Messenger of Allah was in a cheerful mood and looked happy. They said,
`O Messenger of Allah, this morning you are in a cheerful mood and look
happy.' He said,
«أَجَلْ
أَتَانِي آتٍ مِنْ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ
مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ صَلَاةً، كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَمَحَا
عَنْهُ عَشْرَ سَيِّئَاتٍ، وَرَفَعَ لَهُ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ، وَرَدَّ
عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَهَا»
(Of course just now someone ﴿an angel﴾
came to me from my Lord and said, "Whoever among your Ummah sends Salah
upon you, Allah will record for him ten good deeds and will erase for
him ten evil deeds, and will raise his status by ten degrees, and will
return his greeting with something similar to it.'')'' This is also a
good chain, although they (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not report it.
Another Hadith
Muslim, Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i recorded
that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger
of Allah said:
«مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْرًا»
(Whoever
sends one Salah upon me, Allah will send ten upon him.) At-Tirmidhi
said: "This is a Sahih Hasan Hadith. On the same topic, narrations come
from `Abdur-Rahman bin `Awf, `Amir bin Rabi`ah, `Ammar, Abu Talhah, Anas
and Ubayy bin Ka`b.''
Another Hadith
Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said:
«صَلُّوا
عَلَيَّ، فَإِنَّهَا زَكَاةٌ لَكُمْ، وَسَلُوا اللهَ لِيَ الْوَسِيلَةَ،
فَإِنَّهَا دَرَجَةٌ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ، لَا يَنَالُهَا إِلَّا
رَجُلٌ، وَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا هُو»
(Send Salah upon
me, for this is Zakah for you, and ask Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah,
for it is a position in the highest part of Paradise which only one man
will attain, and I hope that I will be the one.) This was recorded only
by Ahmad.
Another Hadith
Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Husayn bin `Ali said that the Messenger of Allah said:
«الْبَخِيلُ مَنْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَي»
(The miser is the one in whose presence I am mentioned, then he does not send Salah upon me.) Abu Sa`id said:
«فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَي»
(...and
he does not send Salah upon me.) This was also recorded by At-Tirmidhi,
who then said: "This Hadith is Hasan Gharib, Sahih.''
At-Tirmidhi recorded that Abu Hurayrah said: "The Messenger of Allah said:
«رَغِمَ
أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ، وَرَغِمَ أَنْفُ
رَجُلٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ انْسَلَخَ قَبْلَ أَنْ
يُغْفَرَ لَهُ، وَرَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ عِنْدَهُ أَبَوَاهُ
الْكِبَرَ فَلَمْ يُدْخِلَاهُ الْجَنَّة»
(May he be
humiliated, the man in whose presence I am mentioned and he does not
send Salah upon me; may he be humiliated, the man who sees the month of
Ramadan come and go, and he is not forgiven; may he be humiliated, the
man whose parents live to old age and they do not cause him to be
granted admittance to Paradise.)'' Then he (At-Tirmidhi) said: "Hasan
Gharib.''
Occasions for saying Salah upon Him
It is reported that we should send blessings upon him
on many occasions, such as following the call to prayer, as in the
Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad from `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As, who
said that he heard the Messenger of Allah say:
«إِذَا
سَمِعْتُمْ مُؤَذِّنًا فَقُولُوا مِثْلَمَا يَقُولُ، ثُمَّ صَلُّوا
عَلَيَّ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا
عَشْرًا، ثُمَّ سَلُوا اللهَ لِيَ الْوَسِيلَةَ، فَإِنَّهَا مَنْزِلَةٌ فِي
الْجَنَّةِ لَا تَنْبَغِي إِلَّا لِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ، وَأَرْجُو
أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا هُوَ، فَمَنْ سَأَلَ لِيَ الْوَسِيلَةَ حَلَّتْ
عَلَيْهِ الشَّفَاعَة»
(When you hear the Mu'adhdhin,
repeat what he says, then send Salah upon me, for whoever sends Salah
upon me, Allah will send Salah upon him tenfold. Then ask Allah to grant
me Al-Wasilah, which is a status in Paradise to which only one of the
servants of Allah will be entitled, and I hope that I will be the one.
Whoever asks Allah for Al-Wasilah for me, it will be permitted for me to
intercede for him.) This was recorded by Muslim, Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi
and An-Nasa'i. Other occasions when we should send Salah upon the
Prophet include when entering or exiting the Masjid, because of the
Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad from Fatimah, the daughter of the
Messenger of Allah who said: "When the Messenger of Allah entered the
Masjid, he would send Salah and Salam upon Muhammad, and say,
«اللْهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِك»
(O
Allah, forgive me my sins and open for me the gates of Your mercy) When
he exited, he would send Salah and Salam upon Muhammad, and say,
«اللْهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ فَضْلِك»
(O
Allah, forgive me my sins and open for me the gates of Your bounty.)''
We should also send Salah upon him during the Funeral prayer. The Sunnah
is to recite Surat Al-Fatihah following the first Takbir, to send Salah
upon the Prophet during the second Takbir, to make supplication for the
deceased during the third Takbir, and in the fourth Takbir to say, "O
Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not test us after him.''
Ash-Shafi`i, may Allah have mercy on him, recorded that Abu Umamah bin
Sahl bin Hunayf was told by one of the Companions of the Prophet that
the Sunnah in the funeral prayer is for the Imam to pronounce the
Takbir, then to recite Surat Al-Fatihah silently after the first Takbir,
then to send Salah upon the Prophet then to offer sincere supplication
for the deceased, but not to recite any Qur'an in any of the Takbirs,
then to conclude by saying Salam silently. An-Nasa'i also recorded this
from Abu Umamah, who said, "This is from the Sunnah,'' and he mentioned
it. According to the correct view, such a statement reported from a
Companion carries the ruling of Marfu`
It is recommended to conclude supplications with Salah upon the Prophet .
At-Tirmidhi recorded that `Umar bin Al-Khattab said: "A supplication
remains suspended between heaven and earth and does not ascend any
further until you send Salah upon your Prophet.'' This was also narrated
by Mu`adh bin Al-Harith from Abu Qurrah from Sa`id bin Al-Musayyib from
`Umar, as a saying of the Prophet . It was also recorded by Razin bin
Mu`awiyah in his book, where he also attributed it to the Prophet
reporting that he said:
«الدُّعَاءُ
مَوْقُوفٌ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، لَا يَصْعَدُ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى
عَلَيَّ، فَلَا تَجْعَلُونِي كَغُمْرِ الرَّاكِبِ، صَلُّوا عَلَيَّ،
أَوَّلَ الدُّعَاءِ وَآخِرَهُ وَأَوْسَطَه»
(A supplication remains suspended between heaven and earth and does
not ascend any further until a person sends Salah on me. Do not treat me
like a spare water container, send Salah upon me at the beginning of
your supplication, at the end and in the middle.) hSending Salah upon
the Prophet is even more strongly encouraged in the Qunut supplication.
Ahmad, the Sunan compilers, Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim
recorded that Al-Hasan bin `Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
"The Messenger of Allah taught me some words to say during Al-Witr:
«اللْهُمَّ
اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي
فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا
قَضَيْتَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا
يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ، وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ،تَبَارَكْتَ
رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْت»
("O Allah, guide me along with those whom You have guided, grant me
health along with those to whom You have granted health, be an ally to
me along with those to whom You are an ally, and bless me for that which
You have bestowed. Protect me from the evil You have decreed, for
verily You decree and none can decree over You. Verily, he whom You show
allegiance to is never abased and he whom You take as an enemy is never
honored and mighty, O our Lord, blessed and Exalted are You.'')'' In
his Sunan, An-Nasa'i has the addition,
«وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّد»
("and may Allah bless Muhammad.'') at the end of this Qunut. It is
also recommended to say plenty of Salah upon him on Friday and on the
eve of Friday. Imam Ahmad recorded that Aws bin Aws Ath-Thaqafi, may
Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah said:
«مِنْ
أَفْضَلِ أَيَّامِكُمْ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ
قُبِضَ، وَفِيهِ النَّفْخَةُ، وَفِيهِ الصَّعْقَةُ، فَأَكْثِرُوا عَلَيَّ
مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فِيهِ، فَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعْرُوضَةٌ عَلَي»
(One of the best of your days is Friday; on this day Adam was created
and died, on this day the Trumpet (Sur) will be blown and all will have
swoon away. So on this day send plenty of Salah upon me, for your Salah
will be presented to me.) They said, `O Messenger of Allah, how will
they be shown to you after your body has dispersed into the earth' He
said,
«إِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَجْسَادَ الْأَنْبِيَاء»
(Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.
)'' This was also recorded by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah, and
it was graded Sahih by Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibban, Ad-Daraqutni and
An-Nawawi in Al-Adhkar.
﴿إِنَّ
الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِى

وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَـتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا

(57. Verily, those who annoy Allah and His Messenger, Allah has
cursed them in this world and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for
them a humiliating torment.) (58. And those who annoy believing men and
women undeservedly, they bear the crime of slander and plain sin.)
tell me something have you ever done any research on any verses of the quran
erm... read the verse again.
It says both "Salloo" AND "Sallimoo".
you are just referring to the "Salloo" in ther verse, ignoring the other half. And if they do send salutations, why does that put a knot in your stomach? (I think people do recite "allahumma sali alaa wa..." but if they do say something else, or evne the same thing but in a different - their own native - language, it doesnt make it wrong as long as it complies with the order in the Qur'an.)
I dont see how any of what you cut and paste (probably without reading) contradicts anything that I have said. Just making long cuts and pastes that do not address the issue do not make your posts "more correct" if they are not relevant to the discussion.
You are arguing for the sake of it and even if you asked your own teachers about your conduct, I am confident they will tell you that it is wrong.
"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.
sending salution is saying
Allah sends His Salat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy) on the Prophet
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and also His angels (ask Allah to bless
and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salat on (ask Allah to
bless) him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic way of greeting (salutation i.e. As-Salamu 'Alaikum ).
( سورة الأحزاب , Al-Ahzab, Chapter #33, Verse #56)
stated in the tafsir
I agree that that should be done.
So why is that in the description of people who are in the wrong in your original post?
"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.
well partly this as i failed to follow the other bit
http://www.kalamullah.com/Books/Sharh%20Al-Aqeedat-il-Wasitiyah.pdf ibn taymiyyah page 144
I assume you mean page 142 - Your argument is that they shouldnt get too loud?
If they are audible, that does not mean they are shouting.
Another issue that you mentioned was on "rafah yadain" - both are issues that those that lack in knowledge will fall for. The Prophet prayed in a few different manners and differnet people copy diferent ones and when they are taught how to pray, they will not be taught them all, but one. When they see something else and they are not aware, they may question it.
That is an act of those that do not know as opposed to a different group as if soemone who had only seen "rafah yadain" and is not aware of the small differences allowed and in the sunnah, they will question when it is not done.
There are different views on getting as close to perfection as possible that may be escalated by those who do not know as opposed to a difference of belief or action.

page 144 titled ahlus sunnah wal jamaah are moderate to all sects
rafah yadain, i dont think i posted anything regarding that unless by mistake
prophet saw prayed in different forms i agree, all madhabs have strong evidence to prove this which just proves all prayer ways are correct their are more then 4 ways to pray some which are not even mentioend in the 4 madhabs so long as its from muhamamd saw use it
i pesonally follow the hanafi fiqh so thats the way i pray without rafa yadain although i do like and learned the other ways despite that i always use the hanafi fqih way becasue i like it and the way im used to praying salah
