Some Ulama claim that the Hadith of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood (radhiyallahu anhu) pertaining to the expulsion of a group making loud thikr in the Musjid, i

Answer

All congregational forms of loud thikr in the Musaajid are bid'ah, and not permissible. It is indeed lamentable that even Ulama have stooped to such a despicable and dishonest level as to claim that the Hadith of Hadhrat Ibn Mas'ood (radhiyallahu anhu) is weak and is not a valid Mustadal. We venture to say that those who advance this preposterous claim are perpetrating deliberate falsehood. Either they are grossly ignorant or they are guilty of Kitmaanul Haqq (Concealing the Truth). As far as some Muftis are concerned, who deny this Hadith, we say that they have reached a critical level of degeneration of Imaan by perpetrating falsehood intentionally. The claim that this Hadith is 'weak' is not a misunderstanding of the claimants. It is a calculated and blatant lie. It is incredible that they are not aware of all the great authorities of the Shariah –Fuqaha, Muhadditheen – who have authenticated the Hadith. When the noble Fuqaha utilize this Hadith as their Mustadal, what significance could be attached to the drivel statements of the halqah thikr molvis of this age?

The book, Thikrullaah in the Mirror of the Sunnah, explains this Hadith and answers all the baseless doubts and arguments raised against it. This Hadith has been discussed and explained in 32 pages in the book. Anyone interested in the book, may write for a copy. Those who are stupidly attempting to neutralize the authenticity of the Hadith are trying to spit at the moon. Their conduct is lamentable and despicable. May Allah Ta'ala save us from the evil of the nafs from which all the baatil stems.
