Previously
we argued that The Jihadists’ Use of the Black Flag
Narrative Is Not Reliable In the Eye of Hadith-Scholars and Hence Should Not be
Acceptable.
This time we have brought the reliable Hadith of Hazrat Ali (the Fourth caliph
of Islam and the son in-law of the Prophet) which the readers must be shocked
to see in the context of the present-day Jihadists in common and the ISIS in
particular. The text of the Hadith is as clear as required to substantiate that
the Muslims were commanded about 1400 hundred years ago, not to join the rank
of those carrying the black flags.
The text of
the translated Hadith is as follows;
It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Ali
ibn Abi Talib (may Allah ennoble his countenance): “When you see the black
flags, then remain on the ground, and do not move your hands or your feet.
Thereafter there shall emerge a weak folk to whom no concern is given. Their
hearts will be like the iron rods. They shall be the people of the State (Ashab
al-Dawla). They will fulfil neither covenant nor agreement. They will invite to
the Truth, though they are not from its people. Their names will be with ‘kuna’
[plural form of kunya; a teknonym in Arabic names. A kunya is expressed by the
use of ‘Abu’ that means ‘father’], and their ascriptions will be to villages
(or places) [i.e., al-Misri, al-Harrani, al-Baghdadi, etc.]. Their hair will be
long like that of women. [They shall remain so] till they differ among
themselves, and then Allah will bring the truth to whomever He
wills."Kitab Al Fitan (Book of Tribulations) by Nu'aym ibn Hammad)
Before
delving deeper into some details related to the above text, one must take into
consideration that the narrator of this text is Nua’ym Ibn Hammad who was the
Sheikh (spiritual teacher) of Imam Bukhari and whose narrations were
authentically accepted by all the famous six compilers of Hadith-books known as
Sihah al-Sitta (the six most authentic books of Hadith). Hazrat Nua’ym recorded
this Hadith of Hazrat Ali in his Kitab al-Fitan (The Book of Tribulations) to
refer to the people of Tribulations who in recent times are ISIS, The Taliban and
Al-Qaeda.

Let Us Divide The Text Of The Hadith Into Parts
As Follows;
1.
When you see the black flags, then remain on the ground, and do not move
your hands or your feet.
2.
Their hearts will be like the iron rods
3.
They shall be the people of the State (Ashab al-Dawla).
4.
They will fulfil neither covenant nor agreement.
5.
They will invite to the Truth, though they are not from its people.
6.
Their names will be with ‘kuna’ [plural form of kunya; a teknonym in
Arabic names. A kunya is expressed by the use of ‘Abu’ that means ‘father’]
7.
Their ascriptions will be to villages (or places) [i.e., al-Misri,
al-Harrani, al-Baghdadi, etc.].
8.
Their hair will be long like that of women. [They shall remain so] till
they differ among themselves
The part of
the text “When you see the black flags, then remain on the ground, and do not
move your hands or your feet” implies that when you see the people carrying the
black flags, you should remain on the ground, that is, in your own place, town
or country at large. It is not difficult to know the ISIS and other similar
Jihadists carry the black flags. Thus the implication is that you should not go
to join the rank of these people, as they are the people of the Tribulations
who create disorder in the land of the Lord Almighty.
The hearts
of the ISIS, Taliban and Al-Qaeda are really like the iron rods. They have
mercilessly killed thousands of civilians including children, women, the weak
and the old in several parts of the world, especially Iraq and Syria.
The phrase
“They shall be the people of the State (Ashab al-Dawla)” indicates that these
people of Tribulations will claim to establish their own Dawla meaning State
without gaining votes of civilian-majority.
That “They
will fulfil neither covenant nor agreement” is undeniable truth in terms of
ISIS and other similar militant groups. They have broken all the globally
accepted covenants of peace and harmony worldwide.
The part of
the Hadith “They will invite to the Truth, though they are not from its people”
could be applied to these militant groups as they claim to follow the Quran and
Sunnah whereas they are not following these books in their true forms. They
apparently invite to Islam, but their merciless crimes and false creeds bear
witness to the fact that they have nothing to do with Islam.
“Their
names will be with ‘kuna’”. The word ‘Kuna’ is the plural form of kunya, which
is used as a teknonym in Arabic names. A kunya is expressed by the use of ‘Abu’
that means ‘father’. See the members of ISIS, you will find that approximately
all of them are using their names with ‘Kuna’, for example, Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi’ (leader), Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (founder; killed in 2006), Abu
Ayyub al-Masri (killed in 2010), Abu Abdullah al-Rashid al-Baghdadi (killed in
2010), Abu Suleiman al-Naser (head of military shura; killed in February 2011)
and so on.
Another
sign of the inciters of tribulations mentioned in the above Hadith of Hazrat
Ali is that “Their ascriptions will be to villages (or places).” In this regard
you will not find it difficult to notice that they add the names of the places
to their names, such as al-Misri, al-Harrani, Zarqawi, al-Baghdadi, al-Kurdi,
al-Iraqi, al-Maghrebi, al-Kurdi, al-Alwani, al-Jazrawi, al-Shishani, al-Almani
etc.
The
narration also says, “Their hair will be long like that of women. [They shall
remain so] till they differ among themselves, and then Allah will bring the
truth to whomever He wills.” On searching the images of ISIS members on the internet,
it will appear to you that their hair is long like that of women.
The above
details conspicuously signify that ISIS and other similar Jihadists are the
ones that have been indicated in the Hadith of Hazrat Ali (May Allah be pleased
with him). And therefore we reinforce our calling upon Muslims that they should
not go to join the rank of ISIS- the people of Tribulations whose work is
simply creating the disorder in the Land of the Lord Almighty. As for those who
hold sympathy for ISIS and other similar Jihadist outfits, they should take
this Hadith as an eye-opener and reform their viewpoint before it is too late.
