The DEEN in BYTES Series | FABRICATED HADEETH – part 1

Hadith 1:

“Conversation in the Masjid eats up good deeds the way animals consume grass”

Related by Al-Haafidz Al-Iraqi who said it was a fabricated Hadith. Abdul Wahhaab As-Subki in the book Tabaqaat As-Shaafi’ia (Vol 4, p145) said this Hadith is devoid of an Isnaad.

It is permissible to converse in the mosque providing the conversation does not include backbiting, slandering, tale bearing, ridiculing, kufr, shirk and deviation from the Quran and Sunnah. However not allowed to raise voices as this behavior is not befitting of a muslim in a mosque.

Makruh to speak unnecessarily after Iqamah, and Haraam to speak during Azan. 

Speaking in the mosque while the Khatib is delivering Juma’ah Khutbah is totally Haraam – and the one who speaks has no Juma’ah.

It is also Haraam to speak when the Quran is being recited, Allah says in Al-‘Araaf 7:204 (translated: “Whenever the Quran is being recited, listen attentively to it and keep quiet in order that you may obtain Allah’s mercy”).

Hadith 2:

“Beautify your dining table with herbs for verily it drives away the devil upon reciting Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem.”

Related by Abu Na’eem and classified fabricated by Adz-Dzahabee.

Hadith 3:

“Prayer performed in a turban is equivalent to fifteen prayers without a turban. And a Jumu’ah Prayer performed in a turban is equivalent to ten Jumu’ah Prayers without a turban. Verily the angels wear turbans for the Jumu’ah Prayer and they continue send blessings on the people who wear turbans until sunset.”

Related by Ibn Najjar and classified fabricated by Ibn Hajar in his book Lisaanul Meezan (Vol 3, pg 244).


End Note
Rasulullah said, “He who tells a lie on me intentionally, let him take his seat in the Hellfire” (Bukhari).
