Preface
. !" # .$%&%$In the name of Allah; Most Merciful and Most Gracious.
I bear witness that there is no deity worth worshipping except Allah and I bear witness
that Mohammad, peace be on him, is a messenger of Allah. After that.
Internet is a scary place, and its discussion based groups are scarier, especially if you are
Muslim and trying to say some thing good about Islam or trying to present its actual
teachings.
It is true that every one has right to believe whatever he or she thinks fit and every one
has freedom to express his views, but there is always a limit and proper way to discuss
matters in which you differ. eople who are !on Muslims have right to critici"e Islam
and #uestion the authority of its prophet and critici"e or #uestion things they do not agreewith.
$ut it should be done, in a civil manner and then people should be honest and present the
fair picture of Islam and rophet, based on his teachings.
%uring me presence of the many threads of &'I(, I noticed that very few people try to
be ob)ective and honest in their posts. &hey lack even the basic knowledge about Islam
and *uran and their knowledge is based on whatever they pick up from Anti Islamic
sites.
+hat intrigued me most was that *uran is a fairly large book and our prophets lifecovers almost every sphere of life, but what these people are interested is only fightingand sexual life of our prophet. -ven there, it would be hardly anything wrong, if people
analy"e it ob)ectively.
$ut to keep balance at least they should also consider prophets teachings and
instructions about other matters of life. I wanted to post sayings and teachings of our
prophet on other spheres of life. ayings and actions of rophet are technically known as/adith, and there is a vast literature of this in Islam.
I have selected the well known book MI/0A& A1 MAA$I/ 2i.e. A !iche for lamps3,
written by Mohammad bin 0/A&I$ Al &A$4I5I, 2died in year 678 A/, 897: -3.&A$4I5I s work was based on an earlier book written by A11AMA $AG/+I, another
Islamic scholar. I would like to mention that MI/0A& is not a
8/12/2019 What Did Prophet Mohammad Said_Vol2
4/32
$ut after that time, Islamic cholars started compiling and indexing and making them
into treaties. MI/0A& was such a book in which the 1earned Islamic cholar selected
hadith s from the original books and catalogued them into different heads. hain ofnarrators, which was inseparable part of any /adith was omitted and only the book name
was mentioned, as by that times the authenticity of these books and /adith they
contained was well established.
'riginal book of MI/0A& contains more than >,>:: sayings of prophet, $?/, and
some selection was re#uired to make it simple for common person. @ortunately I foundone such selection titled as : for this purpose. &he original work was inArabic and ?rdu and I have translated it into my broken -nglish.
If there are mistakes in translation, or if there is something confusing or something is not
clear, it is because of me, because neither the original book nor the selection by our
1earned rofessor had these mistakes. &here were many explanatory notes also in thebook, which I did not copy mostly.
&his work is primarily intended for !on Muslims and to restore some sort of $alance on
threads of &opix.
I have divided books into four volumes, this is the second volume dealing with matters of
faith and rituals.
In the end I seek forgiveness of Allah, for my mistakes as errors, which were not done
intentionally and hope /e accepts my little effort as a service in the cause of Islam and topropagate the teachings of our rophet, peace and mercy of Allah be on him.
