hadith (tradition)) could be an expression of dislike or a nod of approval. Umar ,
could have been surprised at his over confidence in the presence of other sahabah
(Prophet's Companions) ( Ano, and himself, for none of them could be so sure of his
memory. Then he asked him to narrate the hadith (tradition).
If he lauded Hudhayfah's usd+, memory than his word meant that he approved his claim
that he remembered the hadith (tradition). He knew that Hudhayfah usan +, used to ask the
Prophet Ljudi Lo many questions about the fitnah and evil that could engulf the ummah.
Therefore, he should know more about the fitnah and the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم saying
about them.
As for a man's fitnah lying in his family. Allah created man and attached him to different
things and people, like family property etc. Then he made him responsible to know their
right and to give them to their owners. So, this is a kind of trial for him. But, man is
negligent and foolish is not fulfilling his responsibilities and not giving the rights to the
right owners. He disobeys Allah's commands in this regard. Thereby, he not only
perpetrates sin but also puts himself to grief and unnecessary fatigue. Hence, it become
obligatory to atone for his shortcoming by doing some pious work, like offering salah
(prayer), fasting, giving charity, and so on, because Allah says:
إِنَّ الْحُسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيَّئَاتِ
{Surely good deeds carry away the evil ... } (11: 114)
When Sayyiduna Umar as aus +, asked the people if anyone knew of any saying of the
Prophet about the fitnah (trial strife, turmoil's commotions, subterfuges etc), he could have
had one of two things in mind:
.
(i)
The trials concerning man's rights and obligations to the other people. It is as
the Quran says:
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَىْءٍ مِنَ الْحُوْفِ وَالْجُوْءِ الخ
{And we will discipline you with something of fear and hunger ... } (2: 155)
(ii)
The infighting, killing and dissension within the ummah.
It transpired that he had asked about the second things. But, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah sal>>
had presumed that he had enquired about the first thing so he enlightened him on that
subject. Then, on knowing the correct meaning of Umar's 4se ano, question, he narrated the
Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم hadith (tradition) on that kind of fitnah, too.
When he said that a closed door kept the fitnah (trial) at bay, he meant the presence of
Umar رضى الله عنه himself. Hudhayfah رضى الله عنه meant to say, "As long as you are alive, that
fitnah (trial) will not appear. But, when you die, it will take everyone in its stride."
As for the door being broken, some doors cannot allow free passage without being broken.
Such doors will not then be closed at all. But, if a door is opened easily then it may be re-
closed too. For instance, there are two adjoining house having a common wall with a closed
door separating them. One of the house is packed with fitnah (trial) and mischief while the
other is full of peace and security. The fitnah (trial) cannot seep through to the other house
and disturb its peace. Thus, Umar's as an +, life was like a closed door barring fitnah (trial)
from showing itself, but his death meant that the door was opened. The Door was broken
when he was killed. If he had died a natural death then the door would have been deemed
to have been opened easily.

The recording, arrangement and compiling of hadith that was initiated
in the time of the Prophet # was accomplished gradually and perfected
in the era of the tabi'un and tab' tabi'un. Books of hadith began to be
compiled. The scholars of hadith spared no effort and left no stone unturned
to compile books of hadith. Today they serve us as lights of knowledge
and learning, diffusing profound knowledge to the seekers and students.
One such book is Mishkaat Al-Masaabih. It is a complete and compact
form of Masaabih-us-Sunnah. It is a selection of the ahadith of the six
authentic Books of hadith and other reliable collections. It has 6294
ahadith from these sources. Since the time it was compiled, this basic
book of hadith continues to form part of the syllabus of religious institutions.
Students of hadith derive beneficial knowledge from it.
Manifestations of Truth is an authentic, reliable and approved sharh
(exposition) of the Mishkaat Al-Masaabih in Urdu by Sheikh Nawab
Qutubuddin Khan Dehlavi and edited by Abdullah Javed Ghazipuri. It is
the most reliable and authentic Sharh (exposition, commentry) of the
Mishkaat Al-Masaabih in Urdu language. The commentary and explanation
of each hadith is given in the light of the issues and problems pertaining
to current times. The most authentic books on the subject have been
consulted. The authorities whose works are cited include Mullah Ali Qari
