Al-Luʾluʾ al-Atharīyyah | Atharī Pearls #2 — Those who insult the Noble Companion, Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه🔸️An example of What Happens to those who attack and insult the Sunnah and the Companions, May Allāh be pleased with them all. The Following story was also relayed by Shaykh al-Naḥwī Abū Bilāl al-Ḥadramī حفظه الله ورعاه here:
https://t.me/abubilalhami/11847Shaykh Muḥammad Ḍiyāʾ al-Raḥmān al-Aʿẓamī رحمه الله narrated: "I was in my office at the Muslim World League in Makkah, and at the time, I was the head of confronting Christianisation and harmful Madhhabs. Therefore, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm Ḥammādah al-Miṣrī visited me and he was the supervisor of the memorisation of the Qurʾān al-Karīm at the Muslim World League, and he knew that I had written in defence of Abū Hurayrah, the noble companion, may Allāh be pleased with him, in my master's thesis which was in the year 1396H or 1397H.
Therefore, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm told me about a strange incident that happened with him, which is that when he was in Egypt (during the final stages of Abū Rayyah Maḥmūd's life), he heard about his (Abū Rayyah's) insulting and attack on the Sunnah generally, and Abū Hurayrah, may Allāh be pleased with him, specifically, so he wanted to see this man (Abū Rayyah).[¹] So, he went to his house, but his sons stopped him from visiting him, using the excuse of his illness and his unwillingness to meet anyone. However, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm was adamant on seeing him, so they unhappily let him enter the room in which Abū Rayyah, their father, was. So when he entered upon him, he saw an unpleasant and dreadful sight. He saw that the face of Abū Rayyah was black like charcoal, his eyes staring, and signs of fear and horror apparently on his appearance, while he was shouting in a loud voice: Hā Hā Hā Abū Hurayrah.
Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm said: He was staring at the wall infront of him, which was in the room, as if, and Allāh knows best, he was being shown Abū Hurayrah on that wall, whilst he was angry and enraged at him.
The Shaykh said: When I saw that scene, I quickly left and I was unable to stay with him except for a couple of seconds, and I said to myself, "He (Abū Rayyah) was adamant on insulting and attacking the Sunnah of Abū al-Qāsim ﷺ and his noble companions, in the life of this dunyā, and the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgraceful and greater, if they only knew."
Therefore, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm رحمه الله asked me to write this story and inform it. The virtous brother, Abū ʿUbayd Allāh Kamāl heard it from me and I allowed him to narrate it from me. And I ask Allāh عز وجل to grant us success so we can follow the Sunnah and glorify the Ḥadīth of Rasūl Allāh ﷺ, and to love Abū Hurayrah and all the noble companions, may Allāh be pleased with them all.
وصل الله على سيدنا محمد."
[¹]
Perhaps this was to discuss about some issues which he (Abū Rayyah) brought in his book, "Aḍwāʾ ʿAlā al-Sunnah al-Nabawīyyah", and "Shaykh al-Muḍīrah (Abū Hurayrah)".
And the intent of "al-Muḍīrah" is: it was a dish which was known in al-Shām, which was made from meat with milk. And his intent by this title was to demean and humiliate this sublime companion, the narrator of Islām (Abū Hurayrah). So may Allāh deal with him (Abū Rayyah) the way he deserves. 🖊 Translated by: Abū Bilāl Muḥammad Fāʾiz al-Ḥijāzī al-Sindī
