a dumb-mute Shaytan and some other statements

[Fabregas_Bruv]

Ziyâd bin Jubayr said,

 

‘Umar told me: ‘Do you know what destroys Islâm?’ I said: No. He said, ‘It is lapses on the part of the scholars, argument of the hypocrites over the Book of Allâh and the rule of the erroneous and misleading leaders.’ (Ad-Dârimî)

 

The Prophet(saw) is reported to have said:

 

“ Let none of you downgrade himself.’ The companions said: How can anyone of us downgrade himself? The Prophet replied, ‘It is when he sees something in which he must say a word for the sake of Allâh and yet keeps silent. Allâh will then tell him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something in My sake?’ He will answer, ‘Because of the fear of people.’ Allâh will then tell him, ‘I was the One who deserved most to be feared by you.’ (Ibn Mâjah).

 

 

Ibn Al-Qayyim said,

 

“The rule of Allâh is known through four people: The narrator of hadîth, the giver of religious rulings (Muftee), the ruler and the witness. It is therefore incumbent on these four to tell the truth that is based on sure knowledge. The bane of anyone of them is lie and hiding the truth. Whenever anyone of them hides the truth or lies, he has opposed Allâh in His Law and Religion. And it has been the way of Allâh to remove blessings from the knowledge, religion and worldly affairs of such a person. On the other hand, whoever stays by the truth and explain it to people, his knowledge, religion and worldly affairs will be blessed for him. It is by concealment that the truth is removed and falsehood whitewashed. Since the recompense is in accordance with the deed, those who remove the truth will also have their authority, honour, love and the respect that the truthful people have for them removed and Allâh will cover them with the garment of disgrace, ignominy and hatred. On the Day of Judgement, Allâh will reward whomsoever He wills among the liars and hiders of truth by effacing their faces and turning them hindwards as they have also effaced the face of the truth.”

Ibn Al Qayyim Al Jawziyah also famously said:

 

 

“So what Din, and what good is there to be found in the one that sees the prohibitions of Allah being committed, His prescribed punishments being laid to waste and abandon, His Din left, and the Sunnah of RasulAllah (saw) being thrown away while he is of cold heart with a silent tongue, a dumb-mute Shaytan just as the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking Shaytan?! Is the tribulation of the Din in other than these, who if their source of food and position is safe, then there is no concern for what happens to the Din? The best of them is the one that feigns and pretends to be sad. If however, a dispute arose with regards to something that is important to him in his rank or wealth he would most certainly spend out and expend and make strong effort in earnest and he would have utilized the three levels of censure according to his ability. [This is in reference to the hadith of RasulAllah (saw): “Whoever of you sees an evil then let him change it with his hand. If he is unable then with his tongue. If he is unable then with his heart and that is the weakest of Iman.” (Muslim)] For these, along with them being removed from closeness to Allah and Allah hating them, they have been afflicted in the world with most tremendous affliction that can be whilst they perceive not, and that is the death of the heart. For the more complete the life is in the heart, the stronger and stronger its hatred is for the sake of Allah and His Messenger and the more complete its assistance and victory is to the Din.” (Ilam al-Muwaqqi’in 2/121)
