Minhaj as-SunnahIbn Taimiya

of various kinds that command adherence to the Muslim community, praise it, condemn breaking away from it, and affirm that goodness, guidance, and mercy are with the community; that Allah would never unite this nation upon misguidance; that there will always be within it (1) a group prevailing in upholding the truth, unharmed by those who oppose or abandon them; that Allah will continue to plant people in this religion, employing them in it in obedience to Him; and that the best of this nation are its first generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them.

Al-Hākim and others narrated from Ibn ʿAbbās that the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—said:

“Allah will never unite my community (2) upon misguidance, and the Hand of Allah is over the community.” (3)

Abū Dharr—may Allah be pleased with him—reported: The Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—said:

(1) fīhā (within it): omitted in (m). (2) m: lā tajtamiʿu ummatī (My community will not agree). (3) I previously mentioned this hadith, reported from Ibn ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with them both—in al-Tirmidhī’s Sunan, 3/315–316 (see earlier in this volume). Al-Tirmidhī said: “There is also a report on this subject from Ibn ʿAbbās.” Al-Haythamī reported it in Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid (Collection of Supplementary Reports), 5/218, from Ibn ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with them both—with the wording: “My community will never agree upon misguidance. Therefore, adhere to the community, for the Hand of Allah is over the community.” Al-Haythamī said: “Al-Tabarānī reported it through two chains of transmission. The narrators of one chain are trustworthy narrators found in the Sahīh collections, except for Marzūq, the freedman of the family of Talha, who is trustworthy.” Al-Tirmidhī also mentioned a hadith from Ibn ʿAbbās in his Sunan, 3/316 (Book of Tribulations, Chapter on Adhering to the Community), whose wording is: “The Hand of Allah is with the community.” I previously referred to it and to al-Tirmidhī’s comments on it (this volume, . . . . . . .). Al-Hākim reported this hadith from Ibn ʿAbbās twice in his Mustadrak (Supplement), 1/116. On the second occasion, he said: “This Ibrāhīm ibn Maymūn al-ʿAdanī was declared upright and praised by ʿAbd al-Razzāq. ʿAbd al-Razzāq is the leading scholar of Yemen, and his assessment of a narrator’s uprightness is authoritative. This hadith has also been reported from Anas ibn Mālik.” Al-Dhahabī said: “Ibrāhīm was declared upright by ʿAbd al-Razzāq and deemed trustworthy by Ibn Maʿīn.”
مُتَعَدِّدَةِ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاعْتِصَامِ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ وَالْمَدْحِ لَهَا، وَذَمِّ الشُّذُوذِ، وَأَنَّ الْخَيْرَ وَالْهُدَى وَالرَّحْمَةَ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَجْمَعَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ، وَأَنَّهُ لَنْ يَزَالَ فِيهَا (١) طَائِفَةٌ ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ وَلَا مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ وَلَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ يَغْرِسُ فِي هَذَا الدِّينِ غَرْسًا يَسْتَعْمِلُهُمْ فِيهِ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ، وَأَنَّ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْقَرْنُ الْأَوَّلُ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ. وَقَدْ رَوَى الْحَاكِمُ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ: " «لَا يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ أُمَّتِي (٢) عَلَى الضَّلَالَةِ أَبَدًا، وَيَدُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْجَمَاعَةِ» (٣) " . وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -:
(١) فِيهَا: سَاقِطَةٌ مِنْ (م) (٢) م: لَا تَجْتَمِعُ أُمَّتِي (٣) سَبَقَ أَنْ ذَكَرْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا - فِي سُنَنِ التِّرْمِذِيِّ ٣/٣١٥ - ٣١٦ (انْظُرْ مَا سَبَقَ فِي هَذَا الْجُزْءِ، وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: " وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ "، وَرَوَاهُ الْهَيْثَمِيُّ " فِي مَجْمَعِ الزَّوَائِدِ " ٥/٢١٨ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا - بِلَفْظِ: لَنْ تَجْتَمِعَ أُمَّتِي عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ يَدَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْجَمَاعَةِ " وَقَالَ الْهَيْثَمِيُّ: رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِإِسْنَادَيْنِ رِجَالُ أَحَدِهِمَا ثِقَاتٌ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ، خَلَا مَرْزُوقٍ مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ. " وَذَكَرَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ حَدِيثًا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي سُنَنِهِ ٣/٣١٦ (كِتَابُ الْفِتَنِ، بَابُ لُزُومِ الْجَمَاعَةِ) وَنَصُّهُ: " يَدُ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ " وَسَبَقَ أَنْ أَشَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَى كَلَامِ التِّرْمِذِيِّ عَلَيْهِ (هَذَا الْجُزْءُ. . . . . . .) وَأَمَّا الْحَاكِمُ فَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي مُسْتَدْرَكِهِ ١/١١٦ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَقَالَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ: " فَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْعَدَنِيُّ هَذَا قَدْ عَدَّلَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ إِمَامُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ وَتَعْدِيلُهُ حُجَّةٌ. وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ " وَقَالَ الذَّهَبِيُّ: " إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَدَّلَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَوَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ مَعِينٍ "
