Hafiz Iraqi (Rahmatullah Alayh) says: “This consensus pertains to a general consensus in all spheres, in word, deed, belief, shar’i matters and in meanings of words.” Now you can think for yourself: Look at those so-called “enlightened” ones, who out of their own “enlightenment” introduce into the Shariat such a thing, which is not in accordance with what was taught by our predecessors and is in fact against their general consensus. If this is not manifest error and falsehood, then what else can you call it? On the other hand, where these men of truth disagreed on something it means that in this matter there is some latitude and scope for different points of view. Many statements of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) support this. Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (Radiallahu anhu) who is called Umar the Second and whose Caliphate is considered to be similar to that of the four rightly guided Caliphs said: “I would not have been pleased if the Sahabah (Radiallahu anhu) of Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) had not differed in opinion because if they did not have dfferences of opinion among them there would not have been any scope for divergent viewpoints.” Imam Darmy (Rahmatullah Alayh) also quoted a similar statement by Umar bin Abdul Aziz (Radiallahu anhu). And then wrote: “Then Umar sent messages throughout his dominion to this effect that the people of every area should act in accordance with the fatwas of their own Ulema.” Hazrat Own bin Abdullah a famous Qari and god-fearing Tabi-ee says: “I would not rejoice if there was differences of opinion among the Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum) , because if those noble ones had reached unanimous decisions and anyone acted against it, he would be an abandoner of the Sunnat. And if they differed and a person followed the view of any from among them, he does not proceed beyond the limits of the Sunnat.” (Darmy) Abdullah bin Mubarak - a very noted Imam says: “Any view which is contrary to the Quran and Hadeeth is unacceptable. Neither is the view of anyone acceptable in the face of the unanimous consensus of the Sahabah (Radiallabu anhum). However where there is any difference of opinion among the Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum), we will choose to follow that view which is nearest to the Quran and Fladeeth. “In another place he said: “We shall not go beyond the statements of the Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum).” (Introduction to Owjazul-Masaalik). In both Duff Manthoor and Shaami it is stated that the differences among the Mujtahid Imams is a mercy, and the more stronger the differences, the more the mercy. And I ask you, when was there ever a time or era when there was no such differences - whether in the early days of Islam or later? In fact since the beginning of the world there has never been a time when truth-seekers did not disagree. Yet Allah, Most High Himself sent down one religion to all His Prophets. In the basic principles the deen remained the same but in the details there was always differences. Did not Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 152
differences occur in the many judgementS of Nabi Dawood and Nabi Sulayman (Alayhis Salaam). And in spite of these differences, did not Allah praise both of them? Allah says: “And we made Sulayman to understand (the case) And unto each of them we gave judgement and knowledge.” (21.78, 79) This shows that Dawood’s (Alayhis Salaam) judgement too was not against the Shariat. (Bayanul Quran) Differences between Abu Bakr and Umar (Radlallahu anhum) Then listen further: Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “In the heavens there are two angels. One commands severity and the other commands leniency. Both are right. One is Jibreel and the other is Mika-ecl (Alayhis Salaam). And there are two Prophets, one commands- severity and the other leniency and both are right. One is Ibraheem, the other Nuh (Alayhis Salaam). . .And there are two of my Companions. One commands severity and the other leniency and both are right. The one is Umar (Radiallahu anhu) and the other is Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu).” (JamiSagheer, Tabrani, Ibn Asaakir). While keeping this in mind, you should know that the Ulema of this Ummat, the sufis and all the pre-eminent ones of every era always had some forms of differences. Sometimes due to their differences of disposition and nature the opinions of some truth-seeking, practicing Ulema inclined towards severity and harsh-attitudes. Some others again considered leniency to be more necessary in the same affair. The difference of opinion between Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) and Umar (Radiallahu anhu) with regard to what should be done to the prisoners of Badr, is of this kind. Sayyidina Abdullah bin Masood (Radiallahu anhu) says that when those taken prisoner at Badr were brought foward, Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) said: “Ya Rasulullah! these people belong to your tribe and they are your relatives. Leave them alive and kill them not, for it is quite possible that they will repent.” Sayyidina Umar (Radiallahu anhu) said: “Ya Rasulullah. These people belied and denied you. They forced you to depart from Mecca. Behead them.” The Companions could not agree as to whose opinion Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) wouki follow. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) remained silent. He entered his house and soon came out again and said: Allah cause the hearts of some people to become soft, softer than milk. And Allah causes the hearts of some people to become hard, even harder than stone. Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu), your example is like that of Ibraheem (Alayhis Salaam) who said: Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 153
