Chapter
14: The Proof Of Those Who Say That The Bismillah Is A Verse At The Beginning
Of Every Surah, Except Bara'ah (At-Tawbah).
Anas reported:
One
day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting amongst us that he dozed off. He
then raised his head smilingly. We said: What makes you smile, Messenger of
Allah? He said: A Surah has just been revealed to me, and then recited: In the
name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Verily We have given thee
Kauthar (fount of abundance). Therefore turn to thy Lord for prayer and offer
sacrifice, and surely thy enemy is cut off (from the good). Then he (the Holy
Prophet) said: Do you know what Kauthar is? We said: Allah and His Messenger
know best. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: It (Kauthar) is a canal which my Lord, the
Exalted and Glorious has promised me, and there is an abundance of good in it.
It is a cistern and my people would come to it on the Day of Resurrection, and
tumblers there would be equal to the number of stars. A servant would be turned
away from (among the people gathered there). Upon this I would say: My Lord, he
is one of my people, and He (the Lord) would say: You do not know that he
innovated new things (in Islam) after you. Ibn Hujr made this addition in the
hadith:" He (the Holy Prophet) was sitting amongst us in the mosque, and
He (Allah) said: (You don't know) what he innovated after you" (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 56)
Mukhtar
b. Fulful reported that he had heard Anas b. Malik say that the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) dozed off, and the rest of the hadith is the same as transmitted by
Mus-hir except for the words that he (the Holy Prophet) said:
It
(Kauthar) is a canal which my Lord the Exalted and the Glorious has promised me
in Paradise. There is a tank over it, but he made no mention of the tumblers
like the number of the stars. (Explaining
