AHYA Multi-Media - QSEP

Shaikh al-Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) says commenting
upon this tradition, “This tradition is manifestly a fabrication and
is inconsistent with the fundamentals of the religion for he who
believes in the Holy Prophet and meets him in his lifetime is one
of his companions (Sahabah). 662 And his position becomes very
exalted if he has migrated towards the Prophet and fought in the
cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah said: “Let none of you
abuse (slander) my companions, for if you were to spend the
like of the Uhud mountain in gold, you would not reach a
handful or half of that of what they spent.” 663 How then can a
person match a companion in paying a visit to the Holy Prophet
when it has not been declared obligatory by any of the Muslim
scholars, nor has it been prescribed in the Divine law to
undertake a journey to his grave, rather such a journey has been
prohibited.” 664
2: “Whoever visits my grave, my intercession becomes obligatory
upon him.” 665 [Mawdoo - Fabricated 666 ]
3: “Whoever performs Hajj and does not come to visit me has
indeed acted unjustly and persecuted me.” 667 [Mawdoo -
Fabricated 668 ] Acting unjustly or persecuting the Prophet are
fabricating narrations. This has been mentioned by Ibn Hajr in at-
Taqreeb, at-Tabaraanee, al-Baihaqee and Ibn Adee.

666 See Shaikh al-Albanee’s, Da’eef al-Jaami as-Sagheer (5607) and Irwaa
al-Ghaleel, vol.4, no.1128. This narration is Munkar (rejected) because
it too has the same two narrators as the previous narration.
