In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Ever-Merciful…<\/em><\/p>\n

A hadeeth qudsee<\/strong><\/em> is a narration which is attributed to\u00a0the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace), that he narrated words from Allaah\u00a0which are not part of the Quran. Unlike the Quran, these narrations have to be studied and authenticated before they can be accepted and acted upon.<\/p>\n

One such narration commonly quoted and attributed to Allaah as His Words is as follows:<\/p>\n

\u0645\u0627 \u0648\u0633\u0639\u0646\u064a \u0623\u0631\u0636\u064a \u0648\u0644\u0627 \u0633\u0645\u0627\u0626\u064a\u060c \u0648\u0648\u0633\u0639\u0646\u064a \u0642\u0644\u0628 \u0639\u0628\u062f\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0624\u0645\u0646…
\n<\/strong>“Neither\u00a0My Earth nor My Heavens could contain Me, whilst the heart of\u00a0My believing servant\u00a0does contain\u00a0Me…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00a0found this hadeeth once while I was searching the manuscript archives\u00a0at\u00a0Umm al-Qura University. I came accross a title\u00a0listed in\u00a0one of the indexes\u00a0on the topic of criticism of some\u00a0unauthentic hadeeths in\u00a0al-Bukhaaree and Muslim attributed to\u00a0Ibn Taymiyyah. So I rushed to\u00a0get the microfilm and print out a copy, thinking to have found some amazing treasure not known to even\u00a0the scholars previously. When I\u00a0began to read it, I found that it was actually a previously known work called “Ahaadeeth al-Qussaas <\/em>(Hadeeths Used by Storytellers) by Ibn Taymiyyah, which has been printed already, and in fact it was even (for the most part) included in Ibn Taymiyyah’s large Fataawee Collection<\/em> (18\/122-128, 375-385).<\/p>\n

What’s the connection? Well,\u00a0the hadeeth\u00a0qudsee<\/em> in question\u00a0is actually\u00a0the first hadeeth mentioned in\u00a0that book. About it,\u00a0Ibn Taymiyyah\u00a0said:<\/p>\n

This is something they (storytellers) narrate from the Israa’eeliyyaat (narrations of the Jews and Christians). It has no known chain to the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace). Its meaning would be (if it were authentic): His heart contains belief in Me, love of Me, and knowledge of Me.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, anyone who would claim that Allaah Himself is present inside of the people’s hearts\u00a0is more of a disbeliever than the Christians, who restricted that (Allaah’s actual presence within the creation) to the Messiah alone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other scholars of hadeeth, like al-‘Iraaqee, as-Sakhaawee, and Al-Albaanee,\u00a0agreed that there is no known basis for it. See: Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth ad-Dha’eefah\u00a0<\/em>(#5103).<\/p>\n

Az-Zarkashee said, “It is baatil (falsehood), it was fabricated by some malaahidah (severe deviants, or perhaps: athiests).”\u00a0<\/em>This was quoted by as-Sakhaawee in al-Maqaasid al-Hasanah<\/em> (#990).<\/p>\n

Six\u00a0Points of Benefit Related to this Discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n

[1]<\/strong> Allaah does not dwell in or\u00a0manifest Himself\u00a0within His creation. He is Lofty and Most High, above His Throne, as He has described Himself in the Quran (20:5).<\/p>\n

[2]<\/strong>\u00a0A hadeeth qudsee<\/em> must be verified before it is accepted, and there are many of them which are actually\u00a0unauthentic and even fabricated.<\/p>\n

[3]<\/strong> The scholars have always\u00a0alerted the people to the difference between storytellers and real people of knowledge.<\/p>\n

[4]<\/strong> The\u00a0methodology of storytellers is\u00a0usually one of\u00a0carelessness; they are usually not precise\u00a0in what they narrate. This is especially dangerous in these times\u00a0because\u00a0so many storytellers\u00a0are being\u00a0promoted as actual\u00a0scholars, and their\u00a0baseless and false narrations are commonly accepted by the masses without question. For example, consider how far the fake hadeeth about “Jesus and the Third Loaf of Bread”<\/a> has spread.<\/p>\n

[5]<\/strong> Narrating a hadeeth qudsee<\/em> like this (without clarifying its lack of authenticity) is a form of lying upon Allaah, by attributing things to Him that we have no basis for.<\/p>\n

\u0641\u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0638\u0644\u0645 \u0645\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0641\u062a\u0631\u0649 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0643\u0630\u0628\u0627 \u0644\u064a\u0636\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u0633 \u0628\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0639\u0644\u0645
\n<\/strong>“And who is more oppressive than one who lies upon Allaah to lead people astray, without knowledge?” <\/strong>[6:144]<\/p>\n

[6]<\/strong> The soofees and\u00a0advocates of the heretic concepts of hulool<\/em> (believing Allaah to be manifest within His creation) do not cease to spread this narration as some kind of proof in their favor! From the distinguishing signs of the people of innovation is their reliance upon unauthentic and fabricated hadeeths.<\/p>\n

And Allaah knows best.<\/p>\n
