Where does the ulama who compiled the Manzil get the methods of recitation of the do'a from ?? e.g write them in a piece of paper, use safron etc.
Question
1. In the question , 5375 it is said that the do'a is as following... A'alamu annallaaha 'alaa kulli shay-in qadeerun, wa anna llaaha wad ahaatwa bikulli shay-in ilmaa. I don't have the arabic with me... I just want to make a clarification on the above part... Was it from the Ath-Thalaq last verse ?? But in that verse it was wa ahaa tha bikulli shay-in ilmaa.. please clarify.. 2. Where does the ulama who compiled the Manzil get the methods of recitation of the do'a from ?? e.g write them in a piece of paper, use safron etc. etc. I would be OK with the recitation of asmaul husna or dzikr... but I stil have doubt on these methods... Is there any based on hadith or practices of the shahabah? I know Nabi s.a.w. have told us to blow on a sick person after reciting some surah.. but other methods i probably just haven't heard (due to the lack of my knowledge) 3. Having read the question regarding how to spread your feet in the 4 mahdzab, is there any source of hadith or whatsoever saying that when you pray in jama'ah your feet have to touch some other brothers' feet ??? 4. Is using paint brush made from hog's hair acceptable in preparing food? for example to oil a pan in the pizza bar ???
Answer
1. Yes, it is from Surah Talaaq and the correct spelling is, 'A'alamu annallaaha 'alaa kulli shay-in qadeerun, wa annallaaha qad ahaatha bikulli shay-in ilmaa.' (Apologise for the typing error)
2. These are methods adopted by some Ulama for the purpose of treatment of specific ailments. Since there is no Shar'ee ruling attached to it, i.e. it is not classified as a Sunnah or Mustahabb, etc. there is no need for proof. Treatment of ailments in itself is permissible. However, hereunder is a narration displaying such deeds to have been carried out by some Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhu):
Imaam Tirmidhi (RA) has recorded that Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) used to write down a certain Du'aa taught by Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) for protection from fright during the night and would hang it on the neck of his infant children.' Imaam Tirmidhi has classified this narration as Hasan Ghareeb (sound) and Imaam Haakim has classified it as Sahih (authentic). See al-Targheeb vol.2 pg.456 3. According to our limited knowledge, there is no Hadith that the feet should touch for the duration of the entire Salaat. Yes, for the purpose of straightening the Saff, this (among other things) could be done before commencing Salaat. Sayyiduna Nu'maan ibn Basheer (Radhiallaahu Anhu) states that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) once faced the congregation and said, 'Straighten your Saffs (thrice). By Allah if you do not do so, Allah will cause your hearts to differ.' Sayyiduna Nu'maan (Radhiallaahu Anhu) says, 'Then I saw that a person would join his shoulders with the shoulders of his companion and his knees and his ankles with his ankles.' (Sunan Abu Dawud vol.1 pg.457 Hadith 662). Imaam ibn Khuzaymah has classified this Hadith as authentic.
It is apparent from this narration that all this was done for the purpose of straightening the Saffs only. And it should be borne in mind that the joining of the ankles is not the only thing mentioned in the narration. 4. To take benefit from any part of a hog is not permissible and especially in this case where other substitutes are available.
