HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
SALLALLAHU ALYHI WA SALLAM

Sahl bin Abu Hathmah Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: `Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisah bin Mas`ud ¨(May Allah be pleased with them) went to Khaibar during the period of the truce (after its conquest) and they separated to perform their duties. When Muhaiyisah returned to `Abdullah bin Sahl, he found him murdered, drenched in his blood. So he buried him and returned to Al-Madinah. Then `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, Huwaiyisah and Muhaiyisah, the two sons of Mas`ud went to Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) and spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. `Abdur-Rahman, who was the youngest of them all, started talking. The Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "Let those older than you speak first.'' So he stopped talking and the (other two) spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. The Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "Will you take an oath whereby you will have the right to receive the blood money of your murdered man?'' And mentioned the rest of the Hadith.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: This Hadith makes out the following points:

1. The eldest person has the first right to speak in a gathering. But this principle is to be followed when all the persons present there are equal in virtue and intelligence; otherwise, one who is superior to others in these qualities will have a prior right to speak.
2. The Hadith explains the issue of Qasamah which was in vogue in the pre-Islamic period and was maintained by Islam. Qasamah was a mode of settling cases of undetected murders. In such situations, fifty persons from the heirs of the victim were asked to take an oath that murder was committed by some person of that locality (or some persons from the heirs were required to take oath for fifty times to this effect); after this oath, the people of that area were liable to pay Diyah (blood money) to the heirs of the victim. If the persons blamed for the murder said on the similar oath that none of them had committed that offense, they were absolved from the payment of Diyah and the payment of blood money was made to the heirs of the victim from the Bait-ul-Mal (state exchequer).

In the incident referred in this Hadith when the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) asked the brothers of the victim to take the required oath, they refused to do so as they were not sure as to who had committed the crime. The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) did not ask the inhabitants of Khaibar for the oath because the heirs of the victim did not have faith in them. Thus, the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) himself made the payment of the blood money to the heirs of the victim.

NEWS

Barack Obama has promised to shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The US president-elect, in a television interview aired on Sunday, also pledged to withdraw troops from Iraq as part of rebuilding "America's moral stature". Obama had made the promise to shut the US prison while on the campaign trail, but his comments on Sunday were the first confirmation of his intentions since the November 4 election. He did not, however, elaborate on where the Guantanamo detainees would be sent or whether they would be put on trial, or released.

Municipal elections in India's troubled Jammu and Kashmir state are under way amid condemnation from separatists who believe the poll will only serve to deepen New Delhi's hold over the region. Separatists have urged voters to boycott the ballot and polling figures available early on Monday suggested turnout was low. The elections come just weeks after some of the worst protests against Indian rule in the country's only Muslim state.

Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, has said he will go to "any length" to protect Mullah Omar, the fugitive leader of the anti-government Taliban, in exchange for peace. Karzai said in Kabul on Sunday he would offer the protection even if it meant defying Afghanistan's international partners, who could remove him from his job or leave the country in disagreement. His comments come as international political and military leaders are considering whether negotiating with the Taliban is necessary as the group gains sway in large areas of Afghanistan.

African National Congress (ANC) President Jacob Zuma says his party will get more than two-thirds majority, during the 2009 general elections. Zuma was speaking to the SABC at the end of his two-day visit to Mpumalanga yesterday. Zuma visited the province to mobilise his supporters to register to have their names on the voters' roll and make sure the ruling party wins the next election with an overwhelming majority. The ANC president met with religious and traditional leaders, the Indian and white communities and addressed two rallies.

Economists say hard-pressed motorists can prepare themselves for an extra Christmas bonus this year. Econometrix senior economist Tony Twine says the petrol price is likely to fall by R1.40 c/l in December, which will be one of the largest ever fuel cuts. The looming cut is mainly due to the sharp fall in crude oil prices but some rand strength over the past month also helped to push fuel prices lower.

POEM

THE UNIQUE SECLUSION
------------------------

The furthest Mosque in an oppressed land,
Cries out for a helping hand.
Trusting in only HIS protection,
Brings reward of a Unique Seclusion.

Comfort in the warmth of the local embrace,
Companionship in the smile of a curious face.
Ten days spent in earnest prayer,
Searching, hoping for the Night of Splendor.

Al Aqsa, Al Aqsa, a haunting sight’
The heavens cry on the most powerful night.
The crescent moon appears in the distant sky,
Chanting “Al Widah blessed one’, do I smile or cry?

Friendships formed, attachments made,
Of memories that will never fade.
Familiar, loving arms ease the pain,
Of the desire to return again and again…

IN HONOUR OF ABDUL AZIZ BUKHARI, AND THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF PALESTINE

 
THE SMILE
SELLING WAR COMPENSATION
---------------------------------
Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center where he was to advise new recruits about their government benefits, especially their compensation plan.

It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones had almost a 100% record for compensation-plan sales, which had never happened before.

Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the plan to the new recruits, and then said:

"If you have compensation and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have a compensation-plan, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6000."

"Now," he concluded," which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?
