RASÛLULLAH’S (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam) PARENTS, HIS GRANDFATHERS WERE ALL BELIEVERS (III)

5 – As is informed in Mawâhib-i-Ladunniyya and in the explanation of Zerqânî ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ ’alaih’, it is stated in a hadîth-i-sherîf quoted by ’Abdullah bin ’Abbâs ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anhumâ’: “None of my grandfathers committed fornication. Allâhu ta’âlâ made me from beautiful and good fathers and pure mothers. If one of my grandfathers had had two sons. I would be in the more useful, the better one of these two.” Before Islam, adultery was usual in Arabia. A woman would not marry a man before having been his mistress for a long time. [Today’s disbelievers do the same.] Hadrat Âdam ‘’alaihis-salâm’, when he was about to die, said to Hadrat Shis ‘’alaihis-salâm’, his son, “My son! This nûr shining on your forehead is the nûr of Hadrat Muhammad, the Last Prophet. Deliver this nûr to pure and chaste ladies, who believe in Allah, and tell your son to do so in your last request!” Up to Muhammad ‘’alaihis-salâm’, all fathers told their sons to do so. Each of them fulfilled this will by marrying the noblest, the chastest girl. The nûr, passing through pure foreheads and chaste women, reached its owner. Allâhu ta’âlâ calls the disbelievers foul in the Sûra-i-Tawba. Since Rasûlullah ‘sallAllâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ states that all his grandfathers were innocent, Âzar, who was a foul disbeliever, must not be Ibrâhim’s ‘’alaihis-salâm’ father. To say that Âzar was Hadrat Ibrâhim’s ‘’alaihis-salâm’ father would mean to deny the hadîth above. Molla Jâmi ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’ says in his Persian book Shawâhid-un Nubuwwa: “A nûr (holy light) shone on Âdam’s forehead ‘’alaihissalâm’ because he bore a mote of hadrat Muhammad ‘’alaihissalâm’. This mote was passed on to Hadrat Hawwa and from her to Hadrat Shis, thus passing from innocent men to innocent women and from innocent women to innocent men. The nûr, together with the mote, passed from foreheads to foreheads.”
