Just as how Sayyiduna Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has been sent to explain the Holy Quran, so too have the Mujtahideen Imams been created to explain the Hadith. Those who refuse making Taqleed make such malicious mistakes in their interpretation of the Quran and Hadith that Allah’sعزوجل protection can only be asked for against them. I have challenged the Wahabi Ghair-Muqallid hierarchy several times requesting only the difference between Hadith and Sunnat (i.e. what is a Hadith and what is Sunnat?), let alone explanation of the Hadith. They call themselves Ahle-Hadith and we call ourselves Ahle-Sunnat. "So what's the difference between us?" After asking them to prove this difference from the Hadith, Alhamdulillah, they haven't been able to until today and, Insha-Allah, will never be able to until Qiyaarnat. I still challenge the Ghair-Muqallid Wahabies to answer it.

Understanding and extracting rules from the Hadith is not the fate of these unfortunate people. They call themselves Ahle-Hadith after only memorizing a couple of narrations about Ameen bil-Jahr without even understanding them.

Through the grace of Allahعزوجل understanding and gaining the benefits of the Hadith is the good fortune of Muqallids (followers of the Four Imams]. Examples of this follow,

1. a. The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has said,"The mountain Uhud loves us and we love it.29.6 - Bukhari Sharif

From this minor excerpt, the following rules of Shariah and Tareeqat are extracted,

1. Having love for the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is not a unique quality of humans. Mindless animals, lifeless sticks and even stones possess love for the Noble Messengerصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. The beauty of Hadrat Yusuf علیہ السلام was seen by thousands, but only Zulaikha became infatuated with it. Today, none have seen the beauty of Muhammad Mustapha صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم but millions are his lovers. The Prophet is the beloved of the entire creation, And why not? He is the beloved of even the Creator!

2. The human who doesn't have love for Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is more hard-hearted than stones and is a lower life form than animals.

3. When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knows the condition of a rock's heart ("Uhud loves us...”), how can he not know the secrets of human hearts? Indeed, no seen thing is hidden from him.

4. There is no need to express one's love of the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم by mouth because he knows the admiration hidden in the chambers of the heart. Uhud said nothing, yet the state of its heart is clear 10 Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. If the Messengerصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم doesn't know these things, how will he intercede (shafa'at) on Qiyaamat? Those requesting him to intercede will surely not receive the answer, "I don't know whether you were Kaafirs or Mu'rnins, so how can I intercede?"

5. The compensation of all worship (ibaadat) is Jannat, but the result of having love for Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is love itself He said, "Uhud loves us and we love it." This proves that love for Sayyiduna Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is more excellent than ibaadat, because the reward of his love is being loved by the one who has control over Jannat [i.e. the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم]. Now follows another Hadith,

2. The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم once passed two graves and said, "The inmates of these graves are undergoing punishment, and my transport (a mule) is restless on seeing this. One of them was a shepherd of camels who never protected himself from their drops of urine, and the other was a backbiter. This is why they're being punished." After saying this, Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم broke a branch into two pieces, placed a piece on each grave and said, "The punishment of the grave will be lessened for as long as they remain green." - Bukhari Sharif

The following points arise from this Hadith,

I. Nothing blocks the blessed vision and eyes of Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He sees even behind coverings. The punishment of the grave was occurring beneath meters of sand, yet Sayyiduna Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم observed it from the surface.

2. The curtains of obscurity are removed for even the animal which Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم rides upon! Through the blessings of the Prophet the mule saw the punishment of the grave and became restless, while our mules go past graveyards day and night but don't lose any sleep. Thus, if the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has to cast a glance on a Wali (Friend of Allahعزوجل), the curtains of obscurity are lifted for himas well.

3. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knows every visible, hidden, former and latter action of every person. He said, "One of them was a shepherd of camels who never protected himself from their drops of urine, and the other was a backbiter," but neither of them did these things in front of him! Thus, he knows every action and doing.

4. Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knows how to save someone from Divine punishment and how to remove it. He is aware of all spiritual ills as well as their remedy. To remove the punishment of the graves, he placed a fresh branch on each and said that the punishment will be lightened through them.

5. Through the blessings of fresh greenery's Tasbeeh, the punishment in the grave of a Mu'min is lightened. Therefore, if recitation of the Holy Quran or the Zikr of Allahعزوجل is made, the deceased will surely gain benefit, because the Tasbeeh of a believer is more superior to that of plants.

6. Even though dry things also make Tasbeeh: وان من شیء الا بسبح بحمدہ the punishment of the grave is not removed by their likr. For Zikr to be effective, it's necessary for the tongue with which it is made to also be effective. So, the recitation of dry Wahabies, etc. is not beneficial. The Zikr of a Mu'tnin, however, who has the greenery and freshness of the Prophet's صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم love, is worthwhile.

7. Placing green plants, flowers, etc. on the grave of a Mu'min is beneficial because the inmates of the grave gain advantage through it. Here, the Prophet placed fresh, green branches on the graves and said, "Punishment will be lessened for as long as they remain fresh."

8. The urine of a Halaal animal is impure (najis) and to save oneself from it is necessary. We lean that though the camel is a Halaal animal, its drops cause punishment in the grave.

These were examples of the beautiful points Muqallids (followers of the Four Imams) extract from understanding the Ahadith. Refer to my marginal notes on Bukhari, Naeemul-Baari, for more examples of these. We now present examples of commentary on the Holy Quran by Muqallids,
