Chapter: The command to believe in Allah and His Messenger (saws) and the laws of Islam, calling people to it, asking about it, memorizing it and conveying it to those who have not heard the message

Follow @AhleDhikr

It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that a delegation of Abdul Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:

Messenger of Allah, verily ours is a tribe of Rabi'a and there stand between you and us the unbelievers of Mudar and we find no freedom to come to you except in the sacred month. Direct us to an act which we should ourselves perform and invite those who live beside us. Upon this the Prophet remarked: I command you to do four things and prohibit you against four acts. (The four deeds which you are commanded to do are): Faith in Allah, and then he explained it for them and said: Testifying the fact. that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, performance of prayer, payment of Zakat, that you pay Khums (one-fifth) of the booty fallen to your lot, and I prohibit you to use round gourd, wine jars, wooden pots or skins for wine. Khalaf b. Hisham has made this addition in his narration: Testifying the fact that there is no god but Allah, and then he with his finger pointed out the oneness of the Lord.

Hadeeth of Wafd Abd Qays

Lugha

-Al-Kufeeyoon say we can make Mudaaf with Taqdeer, so we can say

أشهر الحرم

but al-Basriyoon say we can't Hadhf of Kalam, so we Must say 

أشهر الأوقات الحرم

The first view is most correct.

-Hilm refers to ‘Aql

-Anaah is deliberation as the Prophet told them to go back and call their people otherwise fight them, Ashaj was given wisdom in this and not to be hasty. 

Benefits of the Hadeeth

-It's permitted to drink from these kinds of vessels and the command is abrogated, with the majority.

Ibn ‘Abbas and Malik said its Makrooh to drink from vessels used to make Khamr.

An-Nawawi states the majority have the stronger opinion.

Mustalah

-Ibn Salah stated that Aboo Jamrah used to translate for Ibn Abbas into Persian. 

-Ashaj's real name was al-Munthir bin Haarith

-Hadeeth number 28 is accused of being because of Idtiraab in the Sanad between Ibn Jurayj and Abu Kaza'ah, but what's correct is that the chain is that it has supporting chains as stated by al-Asbhaani and Ibn Salaah.
