Must watch in High Quality.

The following hadith illustrates the condition of the Muslims today as their being far from the Sunnah (example) of the messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and being far away from the correct Manhaj (methodology), in a state of innovation. The prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam has informed us of this in the Hadeeth of Hudayfah radiallaahu 'anhu in which he said:

"The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam about the good, and I used to ask him about the evil out of fear that it would reach me. So I asked the Messenger of Allah:

"O Messenger of Allah, we were living in ignorance and evil, then Allah brought this good to us. So will there be any evil after this good?"

He replied: "Yes." I then asked: "Will there be any good after this evil?"

He replied: "Yes, but it will be tainted."

So I asked: "What will be its taint?"

He replied: "A people who guide others to other than my way, you will approve of some of their actions and disapprove of others."

I further enquired: "Then is there any evil after this good?"

He said: "Yes! Callers at the gates of Hell - whoever responds to their call, they will be thrown into the fire."

I then said: " O Messenger of Allah! Describe them to us."

He said: "They will be from our people and speak our language."

I asked: "So what do you order me to do if that reaches me?"

He said: "Stick to the Jamaa'ah (the united body) of the Muslims and their Imaam (ruler)."

I further asked: "What if they have neither jamaa'ah or an Imaam?"

He said: "Then keep away from all those sects, even if you have to bite upon the roots of a tree, until death reaches you whilst you are in that state."

A Brief Explanation of:

(Even if you have to bite upon the roots of a tree.)

Meaning: Adhere to the Sunnah and cling to its foundations. The meaning of this is not remain in your house and abandon the calling to Allah, nor abandon ordering the good and the prohibiting of evil, since the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said "Hold fast to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of my rightly guided caliphs - cling literally bite to it tightly." And here, in this Hadeeth, he has ordered them to cling or bite to the roots of a tree. So the (roots of a tree) here means the Sunnah. (Until death reaches you whilst you are in that state.) Meaning: To die in a state of Islam, as in the saying of Allah : "And do not die except as a Muslim."
