Hadith 11
- Written by: Fayandi
عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ سِبْطِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم وَرَيْحَانَتِهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: حَفِظْت مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم "دَعْ مَا يُرِيبُك إلَى مَا لَا يُرِيبُك". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ [رقم: 2520]، [وَالنَّسَائِيّ] وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
On the authority of Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abee Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the one much loved by him, who said: I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.”
[At-Tirmidhi] [An-Nasai] At-Tirmidhi said that it was a good and sound (hasan saheeh) hadeeth.
Summary of Discussion:
On August 29th, from 08:20 to 08:45 WIB, we read and discussed Hadith number 11 from Arba'in Nawawi. The discussion involved five participants: Agus, Fayandi, Febri, Debi, and Cha-Cha, with Agus serving as the reader.
We talked about the Hadith, which advises leaving what is doubtful in favor of what is certain.
Fayandi shared his experience at a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, where he avoided eating chicken because he was unsure if it had been slaughtered in the name of God, and instead chose fish as an alternative. Agus recounted his time in Samapta training, where a trainer emphasized, “If you have doubt, just leave it from now on.” Cha-Cha shared her decision to stop using nail polish (kutek) because she was unsure whether it would allow her to perform Wudu properly. Debi and Febri provided other examples of doubtful matters, such as hair coloring and eyebrow embroidery.
We also reflected on the brevity of human life, which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) described as typically between 60 and 70 years. We calculated that if one lives to be 60 years old, about 20 years are spent sleeping, 20 years working, and the remaining 20 years on other activities. We discussed how, if our intention behind all activities is for the sake of Allah, they can be considered acts of worship (Ibadah).
We delved into the meaning of Ibadah, concluding that it encompasses all actions done with the intention of pleasing Allah, not just physical or spiritual activities like prayer or recitation of the Quran. For example, sports can be an act of Ibadah if done with the intention of maintaining health for the sake of Allah.
Additionally, we touched on the history of Prophet Noah (AS). After the Great Flood, three groups of people emerged, who are identified today in anthropology as Caucasoid (Western and Middle Eastern people with white skin), Negroid (Africans, Papuans, etc., with black skin), and Mongoloid (Asians with yellow skin). We noted that the lifespan of Prophet Noah's people was around 1000 years, much longer than the lifespans we have today.
Lastly, we discussed Prophet Adam (AS), recognizing him as the father of all human beings.

Hadith 10
- Written by: Fayandi
On August 28th, from 08:20 to 08:45 WIB, we began by reading and discussing Hadith number 10 from Arbain Nawawi. The discussion involved six participants: Saddam, Fayandi, Agus, Febri, Dhea, and Majid, with Saddam serving as the reader.
Here is the 10th Hadith from the collection of *Arbain Nawawi* in both Arabic and English:
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: **"إن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيبا وإن الله أمر المؤمنين بما أمر به المرسلين فقال: {يا أيها الرسل كلوا من الطيبات واعملوا صالحا} [المؤمنون: 51]، وقال: {يا أيها الذين آمنوا كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم} [البقرة: 172]."** ثم ذكر الرجل يطيل السفر أشعث أغبر يمد يديه إلى السماء يا رب يا رب، ومطعمه حرام، ومشربه حرام، وملبسه حرام، وغذي بالحرام، فأنى يستجاب لذلك؟
English:
On the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, **"Allah the Almighty is good and accepts only that which is good. Allah has commanded the faithful to do that which He commanded the Messengers."** And Allah the Almighty has said: "O you who believe! Eat of the good things which We have provided for you." Then he mentioned [the case] of a man who, having journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty and who stretches out his hands to the sky [saying], "O Lord! O Lord!" while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be answered?
This hadith emphasizes the importance of seeking and consuming only lawful and pure sustenance, as it directly affects the acceptance of one's prayers and actions.
Hadith 09
- Written by: Febriyani Permata Sari
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ صَخْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم يَقُولُ: "مَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ، وَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَثْرَةُ مَسَائِلِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ ".
[رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ] ،[وَمُسْلِمٌ]
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (ra): I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, “What I have forbidden for you, avoid. What I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. For verily, it was only the excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets that destroyed [the nations] who were before you.”
[Bukhari & Muslim]
Hadith 08
- Written by: Febriyani Permata Sari
عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم قَالَ: "أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ، وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ؛ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إلَّا بِحَقِّ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى" .
[رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ] ،[وَمُسْلِمٌ]
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (ra): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and until they establish the salah and pay the zakat. And if they do that then they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property, unless [they commit acts that are punishable] in Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah."
[Bukhari & Muslim]
