Did prophet Muhammed committed necrophilia

The ultimate problematic matter that may be raised with regards to this story is inquiring about the meaning of "he slept with her in her grave". This was explained in the other version of the hadeeth indicating that he, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, lay down in the grave before she was placed therein, as shall be underlined in the following lines.

In general, this story is not free of weakness. Therefore, Ath-Thahabi omitted it from his book At-Talkhees, as he labeled it weak. Al-Haythami said in Majma' Az-Zawaa'id:

“Anas ibn Maalik said, ‘When Faatimah bint Asad, the mother of ʻAli both, passed away, the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, visited her house, sat beside her, and said, 'My dear mother, may Allaah have mercy upon you and keep you under His Protection. After my mother, you have loved me as a caring mother loves her child. Many times, you went hungry in order to feed me well; you clothed me and fed me on delicacies that you denied yourself, hoping to attain the pleasure and rewards of Allaah and success in the Hereafter.' The Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, then, ordered that she be washed three times (ghusl), one of them with water mixed with camphor that he poured with his own hand. After this, he took off his qamees (long shirt) and put it on her and shrouded her in a burdah (outer garment). He then asked for Usaamah ibn Zayd, Abu Ayyoob Al-Ansaari, ʻUmar ibn Al-Khattaab and a black slave to dig up her grave. When they reached the lahd (niche inside the grave), he, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, dug it and removed the dust himself. Then, he, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, lay in the lahd and supplicated to Allaah, 'O Allaah! You are The One in whose power is death and life, and for Whom there is no end, forgive my mother Faatimah. O Allaah! Make her house of the Hereafter vast; I beseech You in the name of your Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, and all the past Prophets. O Allaah, the most Merciful of the Merciful ones!' After this, he, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, called out, ‘Allaahu Akbar (Allaah is the Greatest).’ With the help of Al-ʻAbbaas and Abu Bakr he, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, laid her inside the lahd. [At-Tabraani in Al-Kabeer and Al-Awsat]The chain of narration of this report includes Rawh ibn Salah, who was declared trustworthy by Ibn Hibbaan and Al-Haakim. He is declared weak by some; the rest of the narrators, though, are among the narrators of Al-Bukhari and/or Muslim.


Ibn ʻAbbaas said: 'When Faatimah, the mother of ʻAli both, passed away, the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, took off his shirt and shrouded her in it and lay in her grave. After she was buried, some people inquired, ‘O Messenger of Allaah! You have done something that you have not done for anyone before.’ He, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, replied, ‘I clothed her in my shirt as a shroud so that she would be clothed in the clothes of Paradise. I lay in her grave so that the squeeze of the grave would be easier for her.’' [At-Tabraani in Al-Awsat]. Its chain of narration included Saʻdaan ibn Al-Waleed, who is unknown to me; the rest of the narrators are trustworthy” [Majma’ Az-Zawaai’d]."

Establishing proof and evidence that Mecca is Macoraba.

  1)MACORABA MACORABA  ( Μακοράβα ), an inland city of Arabia Felix, placed by Ptolemy in lat. 73° 20′, long. 22°, universally admitted to be the ancient classical representative of the modern  Mekka  or  Mecca,  which Mr. Forster holds to be an idiomatic abbreviation of Machoraba, identical with the Arabic “Mecharab,” “the warlike city,” or “the city of the Harb.” ( Geog. of Arabia,  vol. i. pp. 265, 266.) A very high antiquity is claimed for this city in the native traditions, but the absence of all authentic notices of it in the ancient geographers must be allowed to disprove its claim to notoriety on account of its sanctity at any very remote period. The territory of  Mekka  was, according to universal Arabian history or tradition, the central seat of the kingdom of Jorham and the Jorhamites, descendants of the Joktanite patriarch Sherah, the Jerah of the book of Genesis (10.26), who in the earliest times were the sovereigns of Mekka, the...

Hadeeth does not permit umm al walad

Selling an Umm Walad (a slave who has given birth to a child of her owner) is not permitted according to the vast majority of the jurists. This includes the madhab of the sahaba such as Umar, Usman, Ali (one or earlier opinion), Ibn Abbas (one report), Aisha, Ibn Masud. And this is the view of the four Sunni madhabs: Malikis, Hanafis, Shafi'is and Hanbalis. You are most likely only aware of this madhab since it is the predominant opinion. The evidence for this madhab includes among other things the following hadith: نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن بيع أمهات الأولاد , لا يبعن ولا يوهبن ولا يورثن , يستمتع بها سيدها ما بدا له فإذا مات فهي حرة The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the sale of the (slave) mothers of one's children, they can not be sold, nor gifted, nor inherited. The master will make use of her while he is alive and when he dies she shall be free. — Sunan al-Daraqutni Nevertheless there is minority opinion that holds their sale as permitted. This has been reported fr...

Did umar ibn al khattab(ra) prohibited hajj tamattu and nikah mutah?(Is Hajj al tamattu same like nikah al mutah)

The word Mut’ah is very versatile in its application. In a technical sense it may apply to a temporary marriage. It is also used to describe a format of Hajj where the pilgrim dons the ihram during the months of Hajj with the intention of ‘Umrah. After completion of ‘Umrah a new intention is undertaken, this time for Hajj.The literal meaning of word 'Mutah' is 'enjoyment.The "mut'ah of Hajj" means ("hajj al-tamattu", meaning "joy of Hajj")the relaxation of the ihram ("sacred state") between the Umrah and Hajj, including its dress code and various prohibitions.Hajj tamattu‘ means entering ihram for ‘umrah only during the months of Hajj – the months of Hajj are Shawwaal, Dhu’l-Qa‘dah and Dhu’l-Hijjah – so when entering ihram for it, one should say: “Labbayk ‘umratan (Here I am for ‘umrah).”  Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said, describing ‘umrah of tammatu‘:  When the pilgrim reaches the miqaat, she should do gh...
