''I have been given the Keys of Knowledge of Every
Single Thing except the Five: Indeed, Allah Has
Knowledge of the Hour of Qiyaamat, The Sending
Down of Rain, He Knows What is in the
Wombs, and One Does Not Know What One Will
Earn Tomorrow, and One Does Not Know In What
Land One Will Die. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing.
AlI-Aware."
-Musnad Imam Ahmad and Tabarani from Ibn
'Omar (R) and the transmitters of Ahmad are of
rigorous authentication (Saheeh).
“Indeed, Allah Ta`ala Raised the Entire Earth before
my eyes and I viewed it and whatever is going to
happen in it until Yawm-al-Qiyaamat just like I look
at these two palms of mine, a revelation from Allah to
His Nabi (Muhammad al-Mustafa salla-llahu-`alayhi-
wa-sallam), the way He Revealed
it to the Nabis before him.
-Tabarani, Abu Nu`aym in al-Hilyah
“Indeed, Allah Ta`ala Gathered the Earth before me,
such that I viewed its Easts and Wests. Indeed, my
Ummat's kingdom will reach the lands that were
gathered before me.”
-Muslim
Hadrat lbn Masood (Radi-allahu-'anhu) said: ''Your
Nabi (salla-llahu-`alayhi-wa- sallam) was given the
keys of knowledge to every single thing except The
Five: Indeed, Allah Has Knowledge of the Hour of
Qiyaamat, The Sending Down of Rain, He Knows
what is in the wombs; and one does not know what
one will earn tomorrow, and one does not know in
what land one will die. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Aware!”
-Musnad Imam Ahmad, Abu Yal`a, Ibn Jareer al-
Tabari, Ibn al-Munzir and Ibn Mardawayh in his
Tafseer
The narrators of Ahmad and Abu Yal`a are of
rigorous authentication (Saheeh).
''Rasool ullah (Salla-llahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam)
stood at a place in our midst, and informed us about
what would happen in his Ummat until Yawm-al-
Qiyaamat. It was remembered by some of those
present and forgotten by others.
-Musnad Imam Ahmad, Tabarani.
Ahmad's narrators are of rigorous authentication
(Saheeh) except Omar bin Ibraheem
bin Muhammad who is trustworthy (Thiqah) per Ibn
Hibban.
Hadrat Ali bin Abi Taalib (Karrama-llahu-wajhahu)
said: ''Nothing from the secrets of the Ghayb
(Knowledge of the Unseen) has been hidden from
your Nabi (salla-llahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam) except The
Five: Indeed Allah Has Knowledge of the Hour of
Qiyaamat, The Sending Down of Rain, He Knows
What is in the Wombs, and One Does Not Know
What One Will Earn Tomorrow, and One Does Not
Know In What Land One Will Die. Indeed, Allah is
All-Knowing. AlI-Aware."
-Tafseer Ibn Mardawayh
Rab`ee bin Harrash (Radi-allahu-'anhu), said:
A man from Bani 'Aamir asked: Yaa Rasoolallah,
(salla-llahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam) is there any
knowledge that has not been taught to you (by
Allah)? Rasoolullah Salla-llahu-'alayhi-wa-sallam
replied: "Indeed, Allah Has Taught me great good.
Indeed, of knowledge, there is a portion not known
to anyone except Allah, The Five: Indeed Allah Has
Knowledge of the Hour of Qiyaamat, The Sending
Down of Rain, He Knows What is in the Wombs,
and One Does Not Know What One Will Earn
Tomorrow, and One Does Not Know In What Land
One Will Die. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing. AlI-
Aware."
-Sa`eed bin Mansoor, Musnad Imam Ahmad and
Bukhari in al-Adab
''Whosoever invokes blessings and salutations (as-
Salaatu was-Salaam) upon me near my grave, I hear
it. Whosoever invokes blessings and salutations (as-
Salaatu was-Salaam) upon me from afar, it is
communicated to me.
-Bayhaqi in Shu'b-ul-Eemaan, Isbahaani in al-
Targheeb from Abu Hurayrah (Radi-allahu-'anhu),
Fayd-ul-Qadeer and Fathh-ul-Baari
“Whosoever invokes blessings and salutations (as-
Salaatu was-Salaam) upon me near my grave, I hear
it. Whosoever invokes blessings and salutations (as-
Salaatu was-Salaam) upon me from afar, I am
informed of it.
-Abu al-Shaykh has narrated it in al-
Thawaab through Abi Mu`awiyah from
al-A`mash from Abi Saalih and Daylami has narrated
it. Its chain of narration is good.
"Invoke blessings and salutations upon me in
abundance on Fridays as it is a day that is seen and
witnessed by the Malaa’ikah (Angels). Indeed, one
does not invoke blessings and salutations (as-Salaatu
was-Salaam) upon me, except that his Salaat and
Salaam is shown to me, the moment he completes
saying it. Abi-Dardaa' asked: Even after death?
Rasool ullah (Salla-llahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam) replied:
Indeed, Allah has forbidden the earth from decaying
the bodies of the Nabis (Prophets), upon them be
blessings and salutations.
-Ibn Maajah with a good chain of narration. Haafiz
Sakhaawi has the words ''Indeed, Allah's Nabi is
alive and provided Rizq (provision)" at the end
of the Hadeeth. Haafiz Sakhaawi has narrated
Hadeeths of similar meaning from a number of
Sahaabah. Mulla Ali al-Qaari said: This Hadeeth has
been narrated with many chains of narration, in
different words.
"Friday is the best day of your week. So invoke
blessings and salutations (salaat wa salaam)
upon me in abundance on Friday as your Salaat and
Salaam are shown to me. They said: Yaa Rasoolallah!
How can our Salaat and Salaam be shown to you
after you die and decay? Rasoolullah (Salla-llahu-
`alayhi-wa-sallam) replied: Indeed, Allah has
forbidden the earth from decaying the bodies of the
Nabis (Prophets).”
-Ibn Hibban in his Saheeh from Aws bin Aws, Ibn
Khuzaymah in his Saheeh, Abu Dawood and Bayhaqi
"Invoke Salaat and Salaam upon me in
abundance on Fridays as your Salaat and Salaam are,
indeed, shown to me.”
-Ibn 'Adi, Tabarani
"Invoke Salaat and Salaam upon me in
abundance on Fridays, as indeed, there is not a
single person who invokes Salaat and Salaam upon
me on Friday, except that it is shown to me.”

(Saheeh); Bayhaqi in Shu 'b-ul-Eemaan and Hayaat-
ul-Anbiyaa fee Quboorihim, Ibn Abi `Aasim.

For whosoever visits my grave, I shall be an

deeds."

Shaykh al-Sayyid Dr. Mir Omar Ali, al-Hanafi, al-
Qadiri;
as quoted from I’laa-us-Sunan of Maulana Zafar
Ahmed Usmani [Rah..]
Umm-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyidatuna `Aaishah [Radi-
allahu-`anha] did Ziyaarat of her brother Abd-ur-
Rahman bin Abu Bakr [Radi-allahu-`anhu]. –from
Tirmizi, its narrators are of rigorous authentication
[Saheeh]
Sayyidatuna Faatimah [Radi-allahu-`anha] used
to do Ziyaarat of her uncle every Jum`ah, offer her
Salaat and cry near him. –Haakim in al-Mustadrak
`ala al-Saheehayn, with trustworthy narrators.
Rasoolullah [Sall-allahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam] used to
enter the graveyard and say “Assalamu`alaykum,
Daara Qawm-im-Mu`mineen, wa inna insha-allaha
bikum laahiqoon”. –Ahmad, Muslim, Nasaai
Sayyiduna Hadrat Ali [Karram-allahu-wajhahu]
“Whosoever visits a graveyard and recites ‘Qul huwa-
llahu ahad’ 11 times and gifts the ajr to the dead, he
will be given as much as ajr as all of the dead.” –Abu
Muhammad al-Samarqandi, Hafiz-ul-Hadeeth
Mujaddid Jalaluddeen al-Suyooti in Sharh-us-Sudoor
Rasoolullah [Sall-allahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam]
“Whosoever enters a graveyard and recites
al-Fatihah, “Qul huwa-llahu ahad”, “Alhaakum-ut-
Takaathur” and then says “ I dedicate the Thawaab
of what I recited from Your Kalaam to the inmates of
the graves, Mu’mineen and Mu’minaat; all of those
dead will intercede [Shafa’at] and plead for him to
Allah Ta’ala.” –Abul-Qasim Sa’ad bin Ali al-Zinjani,
Hafiz-ul-Hadeeth Mujaddid
Jalaaluddeen al-Suyooti in Sharh-us-Sudoor
Rasoolullah [Sall-allahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam]
“Whosoever enters a graveyard and recites “Yaa
Seen” Allah diminishes their `Azaab, and the reciter
and the inhabitants of the grave get many Hasanaat’.
–Abdul-Azeez, Hafiz-ul-Hadeeth Mujaddid
Jalaaluddeen al-Suyooti in Sharh-us-Sudoor
Rasoolullah [Sall-allahu-`alayhi-wa-sallam] placed
two branches of a tree upon two graves in order to
decrease their `Azaab. – Bukhari
Hadrat Burayda al-Aslami [Rad..] made a will stating
he wanted two branches of a tree [date-palm] to be
placed upon his grave. –Bukhari, Fathh-ul-Bari bi

The Necessity of Qadaa for Missed Salaat –
What Rasoolullah [Salla-llahu-alayhi-wa-sallam]
Ordered and Practiced
Rendered in English by: al-Faqeer, Ghulam-ul-
Mustafaa
Khateeb, Imam and Qaari [Jamia Nizamia-certified]
Shaykh Al-Sayyid Dr. Mir Omar Ali, al-Hanafi, al-
Qadiri; as quoted from I`laa-us-Sunan
''Whosoever missed/forgot a Salaat should pray it
when he remembers. There is no Kaffaarah for it
except this. ‘Establish the Salaat for My
Remembrance’.” -Bukhari
Sayyiduna Umar (Radi-allahu-anhu) at the battle of
Khandaq, returned after sunset, cursing the Kuffar of
Quraysh. He came and said: Yaa Rasoolallah,
I could not pray Salaat-ul-Asr, and the sun has
already set. The Nabi (salla-llahu- alayhi-wa-sallam)
replied: By Allah, I have not prayed Asr either. We
went near a body of water and made Wudoo for
Salaat using it. Then, we prayed Salaat-ul-Asr after
sunset. Then, after that, we prayed Maghrib. -
Bukhari
"Whosoever forgot/missed a Salaat, then
remembered it whilst praying behind an Imam, he
should first complete that Salaat. Then, pray Qadaa
for the Salaat he forgot/missed, and then repeat the
Salaat he prayed behind the Imam. -Tabarani, with
trustworthy narrators, Majma-uz-Zawaaid
In the year of al-Ahzaab, the Nabi (salla-llahu-alayhi-
wa-sallam) prayed Maghrib. When he finished, he
asked: "Does anyone know whether I prayed Asr?
They responded: Yaa Rasoolallah, you did not. He
then ordered the Muezzin, who recited the Iqaamat.
They then prayed Asr, after which, they repeated
Salaat-ul-Maghrib. -Musnad Ahmad- Narrators
trustworthy or Hasan.
Abu Saeed [R] said: The Battle of
Khandaq prevented us from praying Salaat until after
Maghrib, at nighttime. He said: Rasoolullah (Salla-
llahu-alayhi-wa-sallam) called Hadrat Bilal (R), who
recited the Iqaamat for Zuhr and we prayed it in an
excellent fashion, just as if it were prayed on time.
Then, he ordered him to recite the Iqaamat of Asr
and we prayed it in an excellent fashion, just as if it
were prayed on time. Then, he ordered him to recite
the Iqaamat for Maghrib and we prayed it in the
same way ..……. - Ahmad; Nasaai without
mentioning Maghrib
Abdullah (R) said "The Mushrikeen kept
Rasoolullah (Salla-llahu-alayhi-wa-sallam) from
praying 4 Salaats at the Battle of Khandaq until night-
time. He ordered Hadrat Bilal (R) to call out the
Azaan and Iqaamat. They then prayed Zuhr. Then,
he recited the Iqaamat and they prayed Asr.
Then, he recited the Iqaamat and they prayed
Maghrib, Then he called out the Iqaamat and they
prayed Isha-Tirmizi
