Saying "Sadaq Allaahul-'Adtheem"

**madeenahsh** · 07-21-2006

Question: What is the ruling regarding the saying of "sadaq Allaahul-'Adtheem" after finishing reading of the Qur'ân?

Response: All Praise is for Allaah, the o*ne, and prayers and salutations upon His Messenger, his family and his companions.

To proceed:
The saying of "sadaq Allaahul-'Adtheem" after finishing reading of the Qur'an is an innovation. The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) did not do this and nor did the Rightly Guided Khulafaa, nor any of the (other) Companions (radhi-yallaahu 'anhum) and nor the Imaams of the (Pious) Predecessors (rahima-humullaah). This being with their vast reading and assistance in spreading it's (the Qur'ân's) message and knowing it's rulings. So the saying of this and adhering to it after finishing the reading (of the Qur'ân) is an innovation. It has been confirmed o*n the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he said:

((Anyone who introduces something into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam), that which is not from it, will have it rejected)) - this (narration) is agreed upon (by both Imaam al-Bukhaaree and Imaam Muslim).And in another narration:((Anyone who does an act which is not in agreement with us, then he will have it rejected)) - narrated by Muslim.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

This is the answer Sheikh Bin Baz gave to a question o*n the status of saying "sadaqa allahu al-atheem" after reciting Qur'an according to the way of the Salaf-us-Salih:"Praise be to Allah."I do not know any basis for the people's habit of saying "sadaqa allahu al-atheem" when they finish reading Qur'an, so it should not be taken as a habit. Indeed according to the principles of sharee'ah it is more like bida'a, if any believes it is sunnah. So this should not be done and shouldnot be taken as a habit.

With regard to the ayat: "Say O Muhammad: Allah has spoken the truth"(Al-Imran 3:95) - this is not speaking about this matter. Rather Allah was commanding him to explain to the people that Allah has spoken the truth in what he has said, in His books, the Tawrat, etc., and that he has spoken the truth in all that He had said to His slaves in the Tawrat the Injeel and all other revealed books.And he was speaking the truth in all that he said his slaves in his book the Qur'an.But this is not evidence that it is mustahabb to say "sadaqa allahu al-atheem" after reading the Qur'an or after reading some ayahs or a surah.This is not reported or known from the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) or his companions (radi allahu anhum).When Ibn Masood recited to the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) from the beginning of surat ul nisa'a until he reached the ayat:"How will it be then, when we bring from each nation a witness and we bring you o muhammad as a witness against these people?"

The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said to him "Enough"Ibn Masood said: "I turned and saw that his eyes were filled with tears", i.e. he was weeping of the mention of this great status o*n the Day of Resurrection which is mentioned in this ayat, Where Allah says: "How will it be then, when we bring from each nation a witness and we bring you - O Muhammad - as a witness against these people" (i.e. his ummah)The point here is that there is no basis in sharee'ah for adding these words "sadaqa allahu al-atheem" when finished reading the Qur'an. What is prescribed is not to do this, in accordance with the example of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his companions (radi allahu anhum). But if a person does that sometimes, without intending to, it doesn't matter, for Allah speaks the truth in all matters, may he be glorified and exalted. But making a habit every time o*ne reads the Qur'an, as many people do now adays, has no basis, as stated above.

but when you think that its something you must do after every recitation, and teach that to the people, and everyone thinks its part of 3ibaadah, thats when it becomes bid3ah...

you seem you are soo sure you are right and the rest of the muslim world is wrong...

Dnt 4get what ppl say about the new salafi , they are funded by the saudi royal family n it originated frm ther...

some times numbers count...?

Ooh I see...I see there are a lot of syubhat in you akheel kareem. Poor you. Im afraid you dont even know how to safe your self, wallahu yahdik. Dont believe in everything they told you, or everything you read. Youre blessed brain from Allah, so use it to think :brother: . The truth is clear as clear as a day. If you talk bad about salafy then that means you talked bad about Rasulullah and all the salih people, be afraid. Cause Allah will be your enemy if you commit war with His wali. And talking bad about the waliyullah mean you commit war with Allah, Allahu a'lam.
Like Ulama said, who is salafy? Its Rasulullah, then the companions, and then tabieen, tabiut tabieenincluded 4 imams since Hanafi till Hambali, then ahlul hadith and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeveryone who follow the way of their path :brother: . Thats salafy, thats ahlussunnah wal jamaah, and beside of them is ahlul bid'ah. And Imam Mujahid said " and you may not follow another way (than ahlussunnah way), those ways are bid'ah and syubhat".
Yaa Allah, Im so gratefull you show me the righteous way in Islam and You opened my heart to accept it while there are many who reject it. Amin. Alhamdulillah. Those time when the first time I got to know salafy, those were the times that I will never forget in my life. Like Rasulullah said "If Allah want goodness for someone, then Then He will make him understand dien (Al Islam)". Yaa Allah we hope we are one of them, amin.

how right!

and you know Allah says in the qur'aan " wa kaanal insaanu akthara shay'in jadalaa"

"and mankind is argumentative most of all"

**lolwatever** · 08-04-2006

well now you do

it's not like there's a Voodoo in the Quran or Hadith books...
Allah clearly says "Do they not contemplate the quran, or do the hearts have locks on them"

scholars are there to explain complicated thigns to us that are hard to differentiate.. but what's so hard about this case? just show me a shred of evidence and ill shutup

how about ibn '3abbas hadith that i quoted, wat do u think of that?

Akheel kareem :brother: What is adab for you?. Usually we do adab and hoping what we did will have reward from Allah, and if we do somehting with a hope like that then its included into "ibadah". And the basic rule in ibadah is deathly wajeeeeeeb with dalil. Dalil dalil dalil. So if you said its adab or etiques in reading Quran, then we better choose Rasulullahs etiques in reading Quran than your etiques. Cause Rasulullah taught us everything and he said if we wanna read Quran then we should take wudhu, and say istiadhah, and make a melody in reading it. Thse adab in reading Quran,a nd Rasulullah shalallahu alaihi wasallam NEVER said that after we read Quran we should say "shadaqallahul adhim", or kiss it. Its not adab to Quran yaa akhee.
You just go opposite the meaning of "shadaqallahul adhim" it self cause you against what Quran teach us :brother: . Quran ask us to follow (ittiba') Rasulullah and we must say "sami'na wa ato'na" (we hear and we will obey) but you instead saying "sami'na wa ashoyna"(we hear and we denied). You said Shodaqallahul adhim but you dont even do what its mean. You actually not a shiddiqin if youre acting like this :rant: eventhough you say shadaqallahul adhim everytime you read Quran you will never be a shiddiqien if you till stubborn and dont wanna understand the explanations. We are not talking about who is right and who is wrong here ya akhee, cause we remember Imam Malik bin Anas said "everyone can be wrong except the owner of this grave (Rasulullah)". So all of us must follow the stronger hujjah, all of us no exception. So when theres hadith sahih then thats our guidance. Wabillahit taufiq wa hidayah. Gotta go now, wallahu yahdik yaa akhee Ismael. Should learn again about Iman to Rasulullah I think. Assalamualaikum

Brother Isma'el, your points have been refuted. You are insisting on copying and pasting inauthentic material, material that labels scholors as "wahhabi" and other labellings. That shows a lack of wanting to learn and understand and blind following.

We have tried to show you the proper stance of the Ahlus Sunnah, and you are desperatly rejecting it. This topic has been discussed long enough, and the proofs of what is the Shari defineition of Bidah has been established and the proper stance as well.

May Allah guide us all.

And Allah knows best.
