NARRATIONS OF THE GREAT FOLLOWER RABI BIN HARRASH IN MUSNAD AHMAD: EXPLANATION AND BENEFITS

Abstract

Praise be to Allah who repaid with His benevolence to whomever He wills from among His servants, and according to His gratitude to those who helped Him with His happiness, and with His care the highest vigor of those who singled Him out by making the collection of religious sciences the end of His goal.

     I testify that there is no god but Allah alone has no partner, a faithful testimony to Allah in his words, deeds and belief, and I testify that Muhammad is his servant and messenger peace be upon him and his God and companions who have strived in Allah the right of his jihad and peace be upon him a lot.

After:

     God (Almighty) sent the messengers with evidence and guidance, and the conclusion of the message was our master Muhammad (peace be upon him) reached the message, advised the nation, performed honesty, and strived in God the right of jihad until certainty came, so it was effective and his words were a statement and application of what was stated in the Holy Quran.

And that God has commanded us to take what he has done, and to stay away from what he forbade, so he said in his book: ﴿And what the Messenger brought you, take him and what we forbid you from him, so finish and fear God, God is severely punished﴾[1]

     The Sunnah of the Prophet was the second source of legislation, has given the followers and companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and scholars who recited the hadiths of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) most of their attention, collected all that was proven about him from the report or action or saying, and set standards to study the emergence (science of hadith) which became the most honorable science after the Qur'an. 

     Therefore, I loved this honorable knowledge and God would bless me with the honor of serving the purified Sunnah of the Prophet, so I strengthened my desire to increase from this noble manhole.

It is a great honor fora person to devote himself to the Sunnah of the Prophet and live in its shadows and work to serve it, research it and increase it, as every study  in the science of hadith is an honor for the student and  a rise in his status, and the honor of science is only the honor of the known.
