The Verse On The State Of Martyrs


The Verse On The State Of Martyrs

 

The hadith commenting on the alleged "Missing verse" from the Quran is...

 

Saheeh Bukhari

Volume 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 299.

Narated By Anas : The people of the tribes of Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usiya and Bani Lihyan came to the Prophet and claimed that they had embraced Islam, and they requested him to support them with some men to fight their own people. The Prophet supported them with seventy men from the Ansar whom we used to call Al-Qurra'(i.e. Scholars) who (out of piety) used to cut wood during the day and pray all the night. So, those people took the (seventy) men till they reached a place called Bi'r-Ma'ana where they betrayed and martyred them. So, the Prophet invoked evil on the tribe of Ril, Dhakwan and Bani Lihyan for one month in the prayer.

Narrated Qatada: Anas told us that they (i.e. Muslims) used to recite a Qur'anic Verse concerning those martyrs which was: "O Allah! Let our people be informed on our behalf that we have met our Lord Who has got pleased with us and made us pleased." Then the Verse was cancelled.
 

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 416:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

(The tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Lihyan asked Allah's Apostle to provide them with some men to support them against their enemy. He therefore provided them with seventy men from the Ansar whom we used to call Al-Qurra' in their lifetime. They used to collect wood by daytime and pray at night. When they were at the well of Ma'una, the infidels killed them by betraying them. When this news reached the Prophet , he said Al-Qunut for one month In the morning prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes, upon Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Libyan. We used to read a verse of the Qur'an revealed in their connection, but later the verse was cancelled. It was: "convey to our people on our behalf the information that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and has made us pleased." (Anas bin Malik added:) Allah's Prophet said Qunut for one month in the morning prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes (namely), Ril, Dhakwan, Usaiya, and Bani Libyan. (Anas added:) Those seventy Ansari men were killed at the well of Mauna.

 

Volume 005, Book 059, Hadith Number 421.

Narated By Anas bin Malik : The Prophet invoked evil upon those (people) who killed his companions at Bir Mauna for 30 days (in the morning prayer). He invoked evil upon (tribes of) Ril, Lihyan and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His Apostle. Allah revealed a Qur'anic Verse to His Prophet regarding those who had been killed, i.e. the Muslims killed at Bir Ma'una, and we recited the Verse till later it was cancelled. (The Verse was:) 'Inform our people that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and we are pleased with Him."
 

 

Imam Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani says in Fathul Bari...

 

  ‏أي نسخت تلاوته                                                                                                                                     

 

Its recitation has been abrogated.

 

ورواه أحمد عن غندر عن شعبة بلفظ " ثم نسخ ذلك "                                                                                            

 

And it is narrated on the authority of Ahmed, on the authority of Ghandar that Sha'abah reported in his version "then it was abrogated" (Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani, Fathul Bari, Kitab: Al Maghaazi, Bab: Ghazwat Al Rajee' wa Ra'al wa Zhakwaan wa Ba'ir Ma'awna wa hadith A'adal wal Qaaraah, Commentary on Hadith no. 3781, Source)

 

As we can see this is a verse whose recitation has been abrogated and was never meant to be permanently part of the textual Quran here on earth.

TAWHEED VS TRINITY

  Tawheed Vs Trinity First I would like to start of my saying I’m a Muslim, so if there is anything wrong in my understanding of the concept of trinity, please point it out to me. Nor is this an attack on Christianity but a means to open a discussion and for us to reach an understanding.The trinity is the belief that there are three distinct beings (the father, the son and the Holy Ghost) and that these are actually all part of one but in three different forms.tawheed is the pure oneness and uniqueness of god, no partners, no sons or daughters, nothing in his creation resembles him and we cannot even comprehend Allah (swt), what Allah (swt) looks like, his state of being or his greatness. Just one god, who created the heavens and the earth. He is independent of his creation and completely unique. His attributes and names are not like those of humans, ie, his anger and mercy and etc.We believe that in Islam, there is something called the fitra, which is the natural disposition god has c

Tawheed versus Trinity: Which is the True Concept of God – Part 1.

Tawheed versus Trinity: Which is the True Concept of God – Part 1. The aim of this article is to compare Islamic monotheism, known as Tawheed, with the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to see which is the true concept of God. WHAT IS THE TRINITY The doctrine of the Trinity defines God as one being who eternally exists as three distinct Persons — the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Put simply, “one God in three persons”. All three Persons of the Trinity are said to be co-equal and co-eternal, and “each is God, whole and entire”. However each Person has different roles or activities when it comes to how God relates to the world. Reconciling the plurality of the godhead within a monotheistic framework continues to be one of the great challenges faced by Trinitarians. If you are finding it difficult to rationalise such a concept then you are not alone. An internet search for “Trinity” yields an abundance of elaborate diagrams which is indicative of the irrationality of the doctrine. Here is

What Non-Muslims Say About Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him and His Family)

What Non-Muslims Say About Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him and His Family) Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the Last of the Prophets. (Holy Qur'an 33:40) This is a collection of short quotations from a wide variety of Non-Muslim notables, including academics, writers, philosophers, poets, politicians, and activists belonging to the East and the West. To our knowledge none of them ever became Muslims. These words, therefore, reflect their personal views on various aspects of the life of the Prophet. Michael H. Hart (1932- ) Professor of astronomy, physics and the history of science. • "My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level."
