one’s view, what difference does it make? There were some Prophets of Allah who had only one single follower (Mishkat). Does that necessarily mean that any flaw was made in the dignity of this Nabi? Look at the Sahabi Sayyidina Abu Zarr (Radiallahu anhu). His verdict was that it is absolutely not permissible to accumulate wealth. This was contrary to the verdict of the vast majority of Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum). He set about expounding his view in every gathering he attended and did not care whether anyone accepted his view or not. It is of particular importance to take care that in those circumstances where the ordinary man in the Street is not able to understand the differences of opinion of the Ulema, the Ulema should refrain from expressing their differences publicly. In such matters these differences should be expressed in circles of the learned. However if there is fear of being accused of being guilty, of hiding knowledge, or if for the sake of conveying the message, if in such cases those matters have to be expressed, then do so by all means! But this thing - that before the masses are able to understand the issues properly to pressurjse them into becoming loyal supporters of your fatwa, this is folly! These Ulema should understand this that when other seekers after truth among the Ulema disagree with you, it means that there is scope for the masses to act on both opposing views. Not this that we see so commonly today: that you stir up the masses against your opponent. The result inevitably is that the followers of your opponent become instigated against you. So you can imagine what all this leads to. As for us, we have before ourselves the high and noble example of our elders, our predecessors: Look at this! It was the general practice of the Sahabah (Radialiahu anhum) to perform three rakaahs for Witr Salaah. However Sayyidina Muawiya (Radiallahu anhu) only performed one. This was seen by Kurayb, a freed slave of Ibn Abbas (Radiallahu anflu), who reported the matter to Ibn Abbas (Radiallahu anhu). Ibn Abbas (Radiallahu anhu) said: “Do not object against him for he is himself an eminent jurist.” (Bukhari). On a journey it was the general practice of Sayyidina Abdullah bin Masood (Radiallahu anhu) and almost all the Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum) to perform only two rakaahs (instead of four) in Fard Salaah. Someone told him that at Mina, Sayyidina Uthman (Radiallahu anhu) performed four rakaahs, (while being still a musafir on a journey). Abdullah bin Masood (Radiallahu anhu) said: “Innaliliahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. Verily with Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) I performed only two rakaahs at Mina, and also with Abu Bakr (Radiaflahu anhu) and with Umar (Radjallahu anhu). Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 158
According to another report Ibn Masood (Radiallahu anhu) also performed only two rakaahs with Sayyidina Uthman (Radiallahu anhu) in the early stages of his Caliphate. (Bukhari). But in spite of all this it is reported in Sahih of Abu Dawood that Abdullah bin Masood (Radiallahu anhu) still performed four rakaahs with Sayyidina Uthman (Radiallahu anhu). Someone told him: “But how is it that you once objected to Sayyidina Uthman (Radiallahu anhu) performing four rakaahs (at Mina) and now you still go ahead and perform four (instead of two).” He replied “Opposing someone is a severe thing.” The reason for his giving this reply is clear: Abdullah bin Masood (Radhiallahu anhu) considered Sayyidina Uthman (Radiallahu anhu) a musafir i.e. traveller (who should really only perform two rakaahs). However he had made the intention of becoming a resident (muqeem) and thus made four. Now this Abdullah bin Masood (Radiallahu anhu) is a mujtahid and so is Sayyidina Uthman (Radiallahu anhu). Abdullah (Radiallahu anhu) did not consider that the verdict and findings of his research should be compulsory for another mujtahid to act upon. Someone asked Sayyidina Umar: “Will you appoint someone to be your successor as Calipha?” He replied: “If I do not appoint my successor, I will have a legal right not to do so because Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not (through command of revealed texts) do so. And if I do appoint my successor, I will also have a legal right to do so because Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) appointed me.” According to the view of Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu), after the struggle against those who refused to give Zakaat, the wealth of those refusers of Zakaat was considered as booty and their wives and children in the order of slaves. Sayyidina Umar (Radiallahu anhu) disagreed with this verdict. During the Caliphate of Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) this was the fatwa and it was accepted by Umar (Radiallahu anhu) and the other Sahabah (Radialiahu anhum). However, during the Caliphate of Umar (Radiallahu anhu), Umar (Radiallahu anhu’s) fatwa was accpeted and acted upon. (Fat-uI-bari). It is a fact that according to Iman Shafi (Rahmatullah Alayh), the recitation of the Dua-e-Qunoot in Fajr Salaah is Sunnat. Once he visited the grave of Imam Abu Haneefah and had to perform Fair Salaah there. In the Salaah he purposely did not recite the Qunoot (and according to other reports. did not recite BISMILLAH loudly, which is also a Sunnat according to him). When asked about this, he replied: ‘‘The respect for the inmate of this grave prevented me.” Some people raise objections against this story saying: “How is it that acting according to the Sunnat can be discarded because of respect for any man?” The Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 159
