MAY13

By: Ash Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen

عن أبي عبد الرحمن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو الصادق المصدوق: إن أحدكم يجمع خلقه في بطن أمه أربعين يوما نطفة, ثم يكون علقة مثل ذلك, ثم يكون مضغة مثل ذلك, ثم يرسل إليه الملك فينفخ فيه الروح, ويؤمر بأربع كلمات: بكتب رزقه وأجله وعمله وشقي أو سعيد. فو الله الذي لا إله غيره إن أحدكم ليعمل بعمل أهل الجنة حتى ما يكون بينه وبينها إلا ذراع فيسبق عليه الكتاب فيعمل بعمل أهل النار فيدخلها, وإن أحدكم ليعمل بعمل أهل النار حتى ما يكون بينه وبينها إلا ذراع فيسبق عليه الكتاب فيعمل بعمل أهل الجنة فيدخلها [ رواه البخاري ومسلم]

Of Abi Abdillah ibn Mas'ud Abdirrahman radiallahu'anhu, he said: We were told by the Prophet and he is the person who juur more reliable - he sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said,

"Now hath perfected the creation of any one of you in the mother's belly for forty days in the form of sperm, then he becomes a clot of blood for that long anyway, then become a piece of meat for that long anyway, then God sent an angel to him, then blows away the spirit of him, and angels was ordered to write four cases; to write rizkinya, death and righteous deeds and fate (after death) if he is wretched or happy. For the sake of Allah is no god has the right to be worshiped but Him. Surely one of you really do good with the practice of Paradise, so that the distance between himself and heaven is only a cubit, and then he was preceded by a record of his fate, so he's charitable deeds expert with hell, so he entered it. And one of you really do good in practice the expert Hell, until the distance between him and hell is only a cubit, then he was preceded by a record of his fate, so he was charitable to the practice of Paradise until he entered it. [1] (Bukhari and Muslim)

Explanation:

This is the 4th of the hadith Hadith Nawawi Arba'in. In this hadith there is an explanation of the process of creation of man in the mother's abdomen, and the writing of doom, fortune, and others. Abdullah bin Mas'ud said: The Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam has told us and he is an honest man more reliable, that is honest in his words, trusted to deliver what has been revealed to him. Abdullah ibn Mas'ud gave preliminary like this, because this case is among the unseen matter that can not be known except through the medium of revelation. He sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said, "One of you perfected its creation in the mother's abdomen for 40 days. . . . and so on. "

This hadith contains several benefits:

1. An explanation of the process of creation of man in the mother's abdomen. And he had four periodization.[The first] Nuthfah Period (in the form of sperm) for forty days. [Both] Period 'Alaqah (blood clot) for forty days.[Third] Mudghoh Period (lump meat) for 40 days. [Fourth] The last period, is after he blew the spirit into the body of the fetus. The fetus undergo a process of development in the mother's abdomen in a developmental stage like this.

2. Before the age of four months, the fetus can not be judged as a human life. On this basis, if the baby was out before the content was even four months old, so he is not bathed, not shrouded, nor dishalatkan, because he can not be called a human being.

3. Once the content was four months old, her spirit is blown. Then (after that), he has been positively judged as a human life. So, if after that, the content is out-then he bathed, shrouded, and dishalatkan. As if the fetus has reached the age of nine months.

4. The existence of angels who were given the task to take care of the uterus (womb). Based on the words he sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, "So diutuslah angel to him." That is the angel assigned to take care of the uterus.

5. The human condition was destined when he was in his mother's stomach, which had been destined rizqinya, righteous deeds, death, and whether he is wretched or happy.

6. An explanation of the wisdom of God, that everything on his side (set) time-limited with destiny; can not take precedence and diakhirkan.

7. Everyone must feel afraid and anxious because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam has told us, "That one good deed with a deed of Paradise until the distance between himself and heaven is only a cubit, and he preceded by the Book (destiny), so that he do good with expert practice of hell, so he entered it. "

8. A man should not despair, because it could be someone that sin in a long time and then God gives him guidance, so that he could get a hint at the end of his life.

If anyone had asked Allah to let people who have been charitable with the practice of Paradise, until the distance between himself and heaven is only a cubit, then it is preceded by notes of destiny, so he do good with expert practice of hell, whether the wisdom behind it?

Answer: Surely wisdom in it are those who labor with the practice of Paradise is [2], he was charitable to the deeds of heaven in the things that appear in the sight of men, but in fact he has a purpose that is rotten and corrupt intentions. Then the intention is damaged it dominates her, so she died in a state su'ul khatimah (bad sequel). We seek refuge in Allah from that. Therefore, the meaning of his words: "Until the distance between him and heaven only an inch", namely the proximity of death, rather than their proximity to the heavens with righteous deeds.
