اُردوEn
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا من نَبِي بَعثه الله فِي أمة قبلي إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ من أُمَّتِهِ حَوَارِيُّونَ وَأَصْحَابٌ يَأْخُذُونَ بِسُنَّتِهِ وَيَقْتَدُونَ بِأَمْرِهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا تَخْلُفُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خُلُوفٌ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا لَا يُؤْمَرُونَ فَمَنْ جَاهَدَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَمَنْ جَاهَدَهُمْ بِلِسَانِهِ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَمَنْ -[56]- جَاهَدَهُمْ بِقَلْبِهِ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَيْسَ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ حَبَّةُ خَرْدَلٍ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Ibn Mas'ud reported God’s messenger as saying, “There was no prophet whom God raised up among his people before me who did not have from among his people apostles and companions who held to his sunna and followed what he commanded; then they were succeeded by people who said what they did not practise and did things they were not commanded to do. So he who strives against them with his hand is a believer, he who strives against them with his tongue is a believer, and he who strives against them with his heart is a believer. Beyond that there is not so much faith as a grain of mustard seed.” Muslim transmitted it.

Fiqh al-Hadith:
➊ It is obligatory to act upon the commands of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
➋ Jihad is not limited to fighting; rather, it has many forms, such as inviting to the truth, refuting the people of innovation (ahl al-bid‘ah) and the misguided—these are also forms of jihad.
➌ It is necessary to avoid innovations (bid‘at).
➍ Faith (iman) has many levels; sometimes it increases, and sometimes it remains as little as a mustard seed.
➎ The most sincere companion who supports to the utmost of his ability is called a Hawari.
➏ Those who do not act upon the Qur’an and Hadith are misguided.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Mughira was a Kufan, a Rafidi, and a liar. He had claimed prophethood, and he would always fabricate lies against the Ahl al-Bayt. Abu Abd al-Rahim Shaqiq was also a Kufan, a Khariji, a storyteller, and weak (in narration).
