Question

One of the Ahl al-Hadith scholars said, Umar. Sitting in Medina and saying ‘Ya Sariyatul Jabal’, this incident is not true. Because if it is true, it will prove that Umar. The unseen knows. But no one knows the unseen except Allah - this is eternally true. So the incident is indescribable. I want to know, is his word correct? 1252867731


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

It is true that during the Friday sermon of Hazrat Umar, the Caliph of the Muslims, the Muslim general who was fighting in Persia was addressed as Ya Sariatul Jabal. Ibn Hazar rah about a related narration. Said, his sanad Hasan stage and Ibn Katheer rah. Said, Haya Isnadun Jaiyedun Hasanun. See: Elizabeth 3 / 5-6; Albidaya One Nihaya 10/173 The incident is therefore descriptive. And it is also true and part of faith that no one knows the unseen except Allah. However, he who is informed by Allah about any news of the unseen can know about it. For example, Allah has informed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about many signs of the Hour. That is why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) narrated it. We also know from this source. This does not mean that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his ummah know the unseen. In the same way, Allah poured out the state of the Persian army in the heart of Hadrat 'Umar and conveyed his voice to distant Persia - this is the manifestation of Allah's might. And nothing is impossible in his might. Just as it is not possible to know the unseen by knowing the signs of the Hour, so the incident of Hazrat Umar does not prove his knowledge of the unseen; Rather, it is a proof of the might of Allah. For this reason, he himself never claimed that he knew the unseen, nor did any of the Companions, Tabi'is, Imams and Muhaddiths say such things about him. So that statement of the person in question is not correct. Denying the golden history of Islam with a lame argument is unjust and less indicative of knowledge. 1266143354
