In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most
Merciful
Imam Muhammad ibn
Abdul Wahhab
Members of the
Advisory Council of `Umar, radiyallahu `anhu, the second Caliph of Islam, were
always the `Ulamaa’ (the learned in religion) whether they are old or of young
age. Abu Huraira, radiyallahu `anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah,
sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said: Anyone who is most versed in Allah’s Book
should act as an Imam for the people; but if they are equally versed in
reciting it, then the one who has most knowledge regarding the Sunna; if they
are equal regarding the Sunna, then the earliest of them to emigrate; if they
emigrated at the same time, then the oldest of them.
In another version it
is reported: No man must lead another in Prayer where the latter has authority,
or sit in his place of honour in his house, without his permission. Muslim
transmitted it.
Jaabir radiyallahu
`anhu said: Allah’s Messenger, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, had each pair of
those killed at the Ghazwa of Uhud wrapped in a single garment and asked which
of them knew more of the Holy Qur’an. When one of them was pointed out to him,
he had him put first in the side of the grave. Bukhari transmitted it.
Abu Musa Ash`ari
radiyallahu `anhu reported Allah’s Messenger, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, as
saying: The respect of a Muslim who is of an old age and a follower of the
Qur’an leads to the pleasure of Allah provided the follower of the Qur’an is
not a transgressor and unfaithful to the Holy Qur’an.
