Umar Bin Al Khattab: Follow Their Way and Join Them





'Umar (ra) lived by trade before becoming Khalifah. When he was made Khalifah after Abu Bakr (ra), he assembled the people and said to them: "I earned my living through trade. As you people have engaged me as Khalifah, I cannot attend to my business. Now, what about my living?" Different amounts of daily allowance from the Bait-ul-Mal were suggested by different people, but Ali (ra) did not speak.

'Umar inquired of him: "Oh Ali what is your suggestion?" He replied: I suggest that you should take such amount as may be on average be sufficient for your family." 'Umar accepted his suggestion and a moderate amount was fixed as his daily allowance. Later on, some people including Ali, 'Uthman, Zubair and Talhah (Radiyallaho 'anhum) once proposed that 'Umar's allowance might be increased, as it was hardly sufficient for him, but nobody dared to suggest that to 'Umar.
People approached Ummul-momineen Hafsah (ra), 'Umar's daughter, and requested her to ascertain 'Umar's reaction to the suggestion without mentioning their names to him. When Hafsah talked about it to 'Umar, he became angry and said, "Who are the persons making this suggestion?" Hafsah said, "Let me first know your opinion.'
" 'Umar said, "If I knew them, I would smite them on their faces Hafsah! Just tell me what was the Prophet's best dress in your house?" Hafsah replied, "It was a pair of reddish brown clothes, which the Prophet (pbuh) wore on Friday or while receiving some envoy." 'Umar then asked, "What was the best of food that the Prophet (pbuh) ever took at your house?" Hafsah replied, "Simple barley bread was the only food we used to take. One day I anointed a piece of bread with the sediments from an empty butter tin, and he ate it with relish and offered it to others as well." 'Umar asked again, "What was the best bedding that the Prophet ever used in your house?" Hafsah again replied, "It was a piece of thick cloth. In the summer it was spread in four layers, and in the winter in two, half he spread underneath and with the other half he covered himself." 'Umar said, "Hafsah!

Go and tell these people that the Prophet (pbuh) has set a standard by his personal example. I must follow him. My example and that of my other two companions, the Prophet (pbuh) and Abu Bakr (ra) is like that of three men travelling on the same road. The first man started with a provision and reached the goal. The second followed the first and joined him. Now the third is on his way. If he follows their way, he will also join them, otherwise he can never reach them." Source: From "Fada'il al 'Amaal by Shaykhul Hadith Muhammad Zakariyya Kaandhlawi.

Written Works

Shaykh Zakariyya wrote many works both in Arabic and Urdu. A number of them treat specialized subjects intended for scholars, and the rest have been written for the general public. His works demonstrate his deep knowledge and intelligence; his ability to understand the issue at hand, research it thoroughly, and present a complete, clear and comprehensive discussion; his moderation, humility, patience, and attention to detail. His respect and awe for the pious predecessors are evident in his works, even when he disagrees with their opinions on any particular aspect.

His first written work was a three volume commentary of the Alfiyya ibn Malik (on Arabic grammar), which he wrote as a student when he was only thirteen. His written works amount to over one hundred. He did not withhold any rights to his works and made it publicly known that he only published his works for the sake of Allah’s pleasure. Whoever wished to publish them was permitted to, on the condition that they were left unaltered and their accuracy maintained.

Hence, his books have gained overwhelming acceptance throughout the world, so much so that his work Fada’il al-Qur’an [Virtues of the Qur'an] has been translated into eleven languages, Fada’il Ramadan [Virtues of Ramadan] into twelve languages, and Fada’il al-Salat [Virtues of Prayer] into fifteen languages. He wrote four books on Qur’an commentary [tafsir] and proper recitation [tajwid], forty-four books on hadith and its related sciences, six books on jurisprudence [fiqh] and its related sciences, twenty-four historical and biographical books, four books on Islam creed [aqida], twelve books on abstinence [zuhd] and heartsoftening accounts [riqaq], three books in Arabic grammar and logic, and six books on modern-day groups and movements.

Some of His Hadith Works

One can find a complete list and description of his books in the various biographies written on him. Here is a brief description of a few of his more popular works on hadith:

Awjaz al-Masalik ila Muwatta’ Imam Malik: One of the most comprehensive commentaries on the Muwatta of Imam Malik in terms of the science of hadith, jurisprudence, and hadith explication. Shaykh Zakariyya provides the summaries of many other commentaries in a clear, intellectual, and scholarly way, dealing with the various opinions on each issue, mentioning the differences of opinions among the various scholars, and comparing their evidences. This commentary, written in Arabic, has won great acclaim from a number of Maliki scholars.

Lami’ al-Dirari ‘ala Jami’ al-Bukhari: Written in Arabic, a collection of the unique remarks and observations on Sahih al-Bukhari presented by Shaykh Rashid Ahmad Gangohi. These lifelong acquired wisdoms were recorded by his student Shaykh Yahya Kandhlawi (Shaykh Zakariyya’s father) during their lessons. Shaykh Zakariyya edited, arranged, and commented on his father’s compilation, clarifying the text and adding a comprehensive introduction at the beginning.

Al-Abwab wa ‘l-Tarajim li ‘l-Bukhari: An explanation of the chapter headings of Imam Bukhari’s Sahih al-Bukhari. Assigning chapter headings in a hadith collection is a science in itself, known among the scholars as al-abwab wa ‘l-tarajim [chapters and explanations]. In it, the compiler explains the reasons for the chapter heading and the connections between the chapter headings and the hadiths quoted therein. It is well known that the commentators of Sahih al-Bukhari have paid special attention to the titles therein, in tune with the Arabic saying: “The fiqh of Bukhari is in his chapter headings” [fiqh al-Bukhari fi tarajimihi]. Shaykh Zakariyya not only quotes and compiles what has been mentioned by other scholars like Shah Wali Allah al-Dehlawi and Ibn Hajar al-’Asqalani, but also correlates and clarifies these opinions and presents findings from his own research in many instances.

Juz’ Hajjat al-Wida’ wa ‘Umrat al-Nabi : A comprehensive Arabic commentary on the detailed accounts of the pilgrimage [hajj] of Allah’s Messenger. It includes the details of any juridical discussions on the various aspects of pilgrimage, giving the locations, modern-day names, and other details of the places the Messenger of Allah passed by or stayed at.

I have read this narration before and it was not from Fadaail Amaal.

When it comes to Fadaail Amaal one should go back to the Urdu text.

I tried to listen to a couple of lectures in Urdu about the devience contained within it however the speaker was yelling too much. I dont know what it is with Urdu speakers why they have to scream at their audience? Shrug ..

If anyone is genuinely curious as to what exactly is wrong with this book then I recommend looking at the Urdu version and getting page references for the deviated stories within it, if you can read Urdu then read it for yourselves and don't take from the websites, (you can always make excuses for a website that it might be wrong) when you have the book in front of you and you're reading it with your own eyes then its you and your own judgement.

Edit: Just noticed that abdurahman.org does in fact have scanned sections of the book, which is good.

Assalamu'alaykum,

Re: Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi, people say 'he died in Madeenah' as if that is enough to shut up the critics of this book, does anyone know if he really did die in Madeenah? Im curious because obviously, dying in Madeenah is a good thing to happen to a person.
