Question<\/h3>\n

Could you please comment on the h\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em> mentioned below? While there is such a great emphasis on freeing a slave, and on the principle of equality, how can be a human being required to submit himself as property of another human? Could you clarify its validity in the modern world? I find religion to be close to my heart, however this makes me wonder. <\/p>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

Here is the text of the Hadith:<\/p>\n

\u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b\u0629 \u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0642\u0628\u0644 \u0644\u0647\u0645 \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0648\u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0631\u0641\u0639 \u0644\u0647\u0645 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0645\u0627\u0621 \u062d\u0633\u0646\u0629 : \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0628\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0622\u0628\u0642 \u062d\u062a\u0649 \u064a\u0631\u062c\u0639 , \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u0623\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0627\u062e\u0637 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647\u0627 \u0632\u0648\u062c\u0647\u0627 \u062d\u062a\u0649 \u064a\u0631\u0636\u0649 , \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0643\u0631\u0627\u0646 \u062d\u062a\u0649 \u064a\u0635\u062d\u0648<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The s\u0323al\u0101h of three is not acceptable nor any good deeds do rises to the heavens: a) a runaway slave until he returns to the master, b) a woman incurring anger of her husband until the latter is pleased and c) a drunkard until he comes to sense.<\/p>\n

The hadith appears in Imam Bayhiqi (1\/389). Imam Abu Hatim al-Razi says in al-‘Ilal (1\/356): The Hadith is munkar<\/em> (a term in the science of hadith which means that an unreliable narrator has related this hadith and he is alone as there are not other supportive ahadith<\/em>). <\/p>\n

Al-Imam Zahbi says: The Hadith is munkar<\/em>. (al-Muhazzab<\/em> 1\/383)<\/p>\n

Imam al-Bani has declared it weak (Zaeef al-Targheeb<\/em> (1218)<\/p>\n

In the light of the above we can safely conclude that the hadith may not be attributed to the Prophet (pbuh). As for our view on slavery please refer to: Slavery<\/a><\/p>\n
