We say: You may have known the statement from some of the Salaf: “Leave your “perhaps” (and your “ifs and<br />
buts”) near that star!” (meaning: there is no room for your personal opinions). Verily, the Aḥaadeeth of (the<br />
ﷺ visiting (the grave of his mother) are clear decisive evidence that the weeping of the Prophet (ﷺ Prophet<br />
was because of his affection for her (because of the punishment) of the Fire. And this is precisely and clearly<br />
mentioned in some of the routes of the Ḥadeeth of Buraidah, which was already mentioned in the earlier<br />
narrations. This is why, in his Sharh of Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim, Imaam al-Nawawee commented on the Ḥadeeth of Abu<br />
Hurairah saying:<br />
“In this Ḥadeeth, there is evidence for the permission to visit the Mushrikeen (polytheists) while they are alive<br />
and to visit their graves after their death. This is because, if permission is given for visiting their graves after their<br />
death, then visiting them while they are alive takes precedence (and is more deserving). <strong>Al</strong>so, there is evidence in<br />
it that it is not permissible to seek forgiveness for the Kuffaar.”<br />
And in his explanation of the Ḥadeeth of Anas, he (al-Nawawee) said: “In this there is evidence that whoever dies<br />
upon Kufr will be in the Fire, the relationship of the near ones will not benefit him. <strong>Al</strong>so, in this Ḥadeeth there is<br />
evidence that whoever dies in the period of al-Fatrah (the period prior to Islaam), and he was upon what the<br />
Arabs were upon – i.e. worshiping the idols, then he will be from the denizens of the Fire. Such a person will not<br />
be treated like the one to whom the Da`wah (the message of Islaam) had not reached. The Da`wah of Ibraaheem<br />
and other Prophets السالم ُ had reached these (Arabs).”<br />

[TN: Shaikh Ibn Baaz رمحهُاهلل said: “The saying of Prophet :ﷺ ❝Verily my father and your father are in the Fire❞<br />
, is an indication that the Da`wah (the message of Islaam) had reached him as it had reached `Amr Ibn Luhai.”<br />

I (al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: In the statement of Imaam al-Nawawee there is a clear refutation of the claim made by Abu<br />
Zahrah that the people of al-Fatrah who lived before the advent of the Prophet ﷺ will not be punished!<br />
Moreover, this statement of his is just a mere claim (as he could not disprove the authenticity of these<br />
Aḥaadeeth); nor does he abide by the principle – i.e. “The one to whom the Da`wah has not reached will not be<br />
punished” – either he be an individual or a nation (or tribe) to whom the Da`wah had not reached. Rather, upon<br />
him was to present the proof for his claim (as a Ṣaḥeeḥ Ḥadeeth does not contradict the Qur’aan), but Abu<br />
Zahrah did not rise to the task. By now it will be clear to the dear readers how much he had to divert from the<br />
(true) knowledge in order to reject the Ḥadeeth of Anas, and in his misinterpreting of the Ḥadeeth of the Prophet<br />
claims! visiting (his mother’s grave) while trying to negate the evidence, and all based on pure false ﷺ<br />
Furthermore, there are many more Aḥaadeeth which disprove his baseless claims, and which all prove that the<br />
truth is the opposite of what he is claiming. And I feel it is necessary to mention a few of them here:<br />
A) His ﷺ saying: ❝I saw `Amr Ibn `Aamer <strong>Al</strong>-Khuzaa`ah dragging his intestines in the Fire, and he was the<br />
first person to establish the tradition of setting free the animals (for the sake of their deities).❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-<br />
Bukhaaree (3521) and Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (6839)] In another narration, it is: ❝He was the first one to change the<br />
Deen of Ismaa`eel.❞ [<strong>Al</strong>-Ṣaḥeeḥah (2/243)]<br />
B) The Prophet ﷺ was asked about `Abdullaah Ibn Jad`aan. They said: He used to uphold ties of kinship and<br />
feed the poor. Would that be of any avail to him? He ﷺ said: ❝It would be of no avail to him as he did not<br />
ever say: O my Lord, pardon my sins on the Day of Resurrection.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Muslim (214)] In Musnad Aḥmad<br />
it is: “He used to honor the guests, was good towards the neighbors, manumit the slaves and uphold ties of<br />
kinship.”<br />
