Do the sects that we are commanded to abandon in the Hadith of Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) refer to the contemporary Islamic groups? Q 6: Some people say that the groups that the Hadith of Hudhayfah commands to abandon are the Islamic groups such as the Salafis, the Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood), and the Tablighis. What is your opinion on such a saying? A: When Hudhayfah asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, we were in a state of ( Part No : 8, Page No: 180) Jahiliyyah (preIslamic time of ignorance) and evil, then Allah brought us this good. Will there be any evil after this good?', the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Yes.' Hudhayfah said, 'Will there be any good after that evil?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Yes, but it would be tainted with dakhan 'i.e. a little evil'.' I (Hudhayfah) asked, 'What will its dakhan be? He (peace be upon him) said, 'There will be some people who will guide (people) according to something other than my guidance and will lead them according to something other than my Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet). You will see their actions and disapprove of them.' Hudhayfah said, 'Will there be any evil after that good?' He (peace be upon him) said, 'Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them).' Hudhayfah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, describe those people to us.' He (peace be upon him) said, 'They will be from among us and speak our language (i.e. from among the Arabs).” Hudhayfah asked, 'What do you command us to do at that point?' He (peace be upon him) said, 'Adhere to the Jama`ah (group) of the Muslims and their leader.' Hudhayfah asked, 'What if there is no Jama`ah and no leader?' He (peace be upon him) said, 'Keep away from all those different sects, even if you have to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, until you die while you are still in that state.' (Related by AlBukhari and Muslim). This important Hadith explains to us that it is Wajib (obligatory) on Muslims to adhere to the Jama`ah of Muslims and to cooperate with them wherever they may be, whether it is a Jama`ah that is found in the Arabian Peninsula, or Egypt, or Levant (the region covering Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine), or Iraq, or America, or Europe, or in any other place. When a Muslim person finds a group that is calling people to the truth, they should help them and be one of them, they should aid and encourage them to remain steadfast in adhering to the truth. If they cannot find a Jama`ah at all, then they should adhere to the truth and such a person will be the Jama`ah even if s/he is only one, as Ibn Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said to ‘Amr ibn Maymun: "The Jama`ah is that which is in accordance with the truth, even if you are on your own." Muslims have thus to seek the truth. If they find an Islamic center which promotes the truth, or a group in any place which promotes the truth i.e. calls people to the Qur'an, ( Part No : 8, Page No: 181) Sunnah, and sound belief in Europe, Africa, or any other place, they should join them and seek the truth patiently and be with the people of truth. This is what is Wajib upon Muslims. But if they cannot find anyone who calls people to the truth, whether a state or a group, then they must adhere to the truth on their own and be steadfast in doing so. In that case, they will be the Jama`ah, as Ibn Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said to ‘Amr ibn Maymun. In these times praise be to Allah Alone there are many groups that call people to the truth, as in the Arabian Peninsula: (the Saudi government), Yemen, the Gulf, Egypt, Levant, as well as Africa, Europe, America, and India and Pakistan along with other places all over the world. There are many groups, Islamic centers, and Islamic societies that call people to the truth, proclaim the message, and warn against that which opposes it. So whoever seeks the truth amongst Muslims in any part of the world has to look for these groups and when they find a group, a center, or a society that calls people to the Qur'an and Sunnah, they are to follow it and adhere to it. Examples of such societies are Ansar alSunnah in Egypt and Sudan, Jam’iyyat AhlulHadith in Pakistan and India along with other groups or associations that call to the Qur'an and Sunnah and devote their worship sincerely to Allah Alone without calling upon anyone else whether the occupants of graves or others.

Page 1: True Jamat in Pakistan & India - Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Baz

 

Do the sects that we are commanded to abandon in the Hadith of Hudhayfah 

(may Allah be pleased with him) refer to the contemporary Islamic groups? 

Q 6: Some people say that the groups that the Hadith of Hudhayfah commands to abandon arethe Islamic groups such as the Salafis, the Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood), and the Tablighis. What is your opinion on such a saying? 

A:   When Hudhayfah asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, we were in a state of 

( Part No : 8, Page No: 180)

Jahiliyyah (pre­Islamic time of ignorance) and evil, then Allah brought us this good. Will there be any evil after this good?', the Prophet(peace be upon him) said, 'Yes.' Hudhayfah said, 'Will there be any good after that evil?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Yes,but it would be tainted with dakhan 'i.e. a little evil'.' I (Hudhayfah) asked, 'What will its dakhan be? He (peace be upon him) said,'There will be some people who will guide (people) according to something other than my guidance and will lead them according tosomething other than my Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet). You will see their actions and disapprove of them.'Hudhayfah said, 'Will there be any evil after that good?' He (peace be upon him) said, 'Yes, there will be some people who will inviteothers to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them).' Hudhayfah said, 'O Messenger ofAllah, describe those people to us.' He (peace be upon him) said, 'They will be from among us and speak our language (i.e. fromamong the Arabs).”  Hudhayfah asked, 'What do you command us to do at that point?' He (peace be upon him) said, 'Adhere to theJama`ah (group) of the Muslims and their leader.' Hudhayfah asked, 'What if there is no Jama`ah and no leader?' He (peace be uponhim) said, 'Keep away from all those different sects, even if you have to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, until you die while you are stillin that state.'  (Related by Al­Bukhari and Muslim).  

This important Hadith explains to us that it is Wajib (obligatory) on Muslims to adhere to the Jama`ah of Muslims and to cooperatewith them wherever they may be, whether it is a Jama`ah that is found in the Arabian Peninsula, or Egypt, or Levant (the regioncovering Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine), or Iraq, or America, or Europe, or in any other place. 

When a Muslim person finds a group that is calling people to the truth, they should help them and be one of them, they should aid andencourage them to remain steadfast in adhering to the truth. If they cannot find a Jama`ah at all, then they should adhere to the truthand such a person will be the Jama`ah even if s/he is only one, as Ibn Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said to ‘Amr ibnMaymun: "The Jama`ah is that which is in accordance with the truth, even if you are on your own." 

Muslims have thus to seek the truth. If they find an Islamic center which promotes the truth, or a group in any place which promotesthe truth i.e. calls people to the Qur'an, 

( Part No : 8, Page No: 181)

Sunnah, and sound belief in Europe, Africa, or any other place, they should join them and seek the truth patiently and be with thepeople of truth. 

This is what is Wajib upon Muslims. But if they cannot find anyone who calls people to the truth, whether a state or a group, then theymust adhere to the truth on their own and be steadfast in doing so. In that case, they will be the Jama`ah, as Ibn Mas`ud (may Allahbe pleased with him) said to ‘Amr ibn Maymun.  

In these times ­ praise be to Allah Alone ­ there are many groups that call people to the truth, as in the Arabian Peninsula: (the Saudigovernment), Yemen, the Gulf, Egypt, Levant, as well as Africa, Europe, America, and India and Pakistan along with other places allover the world. There are many groups, Islamic centers, and Islamic societies that call people to the truth, proclaim the message, andwarn against that which opposes it. 

So whoever seeks the truth amongst Muslims in any part of the world has to look for these groups and when they find a group, acenter, or a society that calls people to the Qur'an and Sunnah, they are to follow it and adhere to it. 

Examples of such societies are Ansar al­Sunnah in Egypt and Sudan, Jam’iyyat Ahl­ul­Hadith in Pakistan and India along with othergroups or associations that call to the Qur'an and Sunnah and devote their worship sincerely to Allah Alone without calling uponanyone else whether the occupants of graves or others.
