BISMILLAH IR RAHMAN IR RAHIM ( part 2 ) ASSALAAMU ALAIKUM to all viewers , please share it ,if you like it what is said about EXAGGERATION ,REQUEST need more friends to share my post In addition, Ibn Jareer reports, on the authority of Sufyaan, from Mansoor, from Mujahid (that he said): Have you seen Al-Laat and Al-uzzaa and another, Manaat, the third [deity]? 1 - He (Al-Laat) used to prepare saweeq for the pilgrims, and when he died, the people began to sit at his grave. Relevance of This Narration to the Subject of the Chapter and the Subject of Tawheed That it shows that Al-Laat was originally the name of a righteous man who used to prepare saweeq for the pilgrims; then, after he died, the people began to exaggerate their praises of him, sitting at his grave and taking it as an object of worship besides Allah . For this reason, every grave whose inhabitant is praised in an exaggerated manner by the people is likely to become an object of worship, even though they may not refer to it as such. It is reported on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (ra) that he said: Allahs Messenger (may Peace Be Upon Him) said: Cursed those women who visit the graves and those who take them as places of worship and hang lights around them. (Narrated by Abu Dawood, At-Tirmizi and Ibn Maajah) The Prophet (may Peace Be Upon Him) cursed in this Hadith three groups: (i) Women who visit graves, because of the inherent weakness in them which may lead them to mourn excessively the departed; (ii) those who take the graves as places of worship, because this leads to the glorification of the graves inhabitants and worship of them; (iii) those who adorn the graves with lights, because this is a waste of wealth without purpose and it leads to the glorification of the graves inhabitants, very similar to the glorification of idols by those who make them. And the Hadith is a warning and an admonition to every person who would build places of worship over the graves of the righteous and the leaders and praise them excessively, and experience a state of humility which they do not feel when they go to the mosque - and this is among the greatest of sins; indeed it is one of the major sins, which should be eradicated, as the Prophet (may Peace Be Upon Him) has made clear in this Hadith, for he did not curse except those who committed major sins. Benefits Derived From This Hadith 1. The general permissibilty of cursing the corrupt. 2. The prohibition of women visiting graves. 3. The forbiddance of taking graves as places of worship and adorning them with lights. 4. The wisdom of Islamic Law lies in its forbidding everything which may lead to Shirk. 5. The prohibition of using up wealth without purpose. Relevance of This Hadith to the Subject of the Chapter and to the Subject of Tawheed That the Hadith prohibits excessive praise and glorification of the graves and their inhabitants, by building mosques or other places of worship over them and decorating them with lights because this leads to them being taken as idols and worshiped. Important Note (a) The purpose of prohibiting both the building of places of worship over graves and of adorning them with lights is in that these practices may lead to worship of the graves inhabitants, not because graves are unclean. (b) There is no conflict between this Hadith and the saying of the Prophet (may Peace Be Upon Him): I had forbidden you to visit the graves, but (now I say:) visit them.2 Because the former is an exception for women from the general license granted by the latter.
