Dear Readers, in the previous email, we provided the proofs from Quran and Hadith over the legitimacy of Celebrating the Blessed Birth (Mawlid Sharif) of Beloved and Blessed Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam). Now let us examine the Aqidah (belief) of the Glorious AsHaab al-Kiraam (Noble Companions) in this concern, who are the guiding beacons for us.

What Does the Glorious Companions Believe?

هاجرت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقدمت عليه منصرفه من تبوك، فأسلمت، فسمعت العباس بن عبد المطلب يقول: يا رسول الله إنى أريد أن أمتدحك، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: قل، لا يفضض الله فاك
When the Noble Messenger (Allah give him peace and blessings) returned from the expedition of Tabuk in Madina, his uncle Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission to recite some lines of poetry in his praise. He replied saying: "Recite, may your mouth remain fresh".

Thereafter Sayyiduna Abbas began to recite his poetry, inside the Masjid, before the Beloved Messenger and gathering of companions in which he mentioned the transition of our Prophet Muhammad (Allah give him peace and blessings) in the loins of the previous Prophets and how he blessed them all, thereafter he said:

وأنت لما ولدت أشرقت الارض ونارت بنورك الافق
فنحن في ذلك الضياء وفى النور وسبل الرشاد نخترق
"...The day you [the Prophet] were born the sun rose over the earth and the horizon was illumined with your noor.
So we – in that radiance and that light and paths of guidance – can pierce through"

Flags in happiness of the blessed birth of the Beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam):

Sayyidatuna Aamina Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha said,

ورأيت ثلاثة أعلام مضروبات علما في المشرق وعلما في المغرب وعلما على ظهر الكعبة فأخذني المخاض فولدت محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم
"When the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) was born, I saw that three flags were hoisted: one in the east, one in the west and one on the roof of the Ka'bah." [Khasais al-Kubra, Vol. 1, Page 82, Published from Dar al-Kutub Ilmia, Berut – Lebanon]

Beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and His Companions entered Madinah Munawwarah carrying flags:

While migrating to Madinah, when the Beloved and Blessed Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) reached a place near Madinah, known as Mauda-e-Ghamim, Buraydah Aslami along with seventy horsemen from the tribe of Bani Sahm chased the caravan with the intention of capturing the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) but he himself got captivated in the love of the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and embraced Islam. He said,

لا تدخل المدینة الا ومعك لواء، فحل عمامة ثم شدھا في رمح ثم مشی بین یدیه صلی الله علیه وسلم
Ya RasoolAllah! We will welcome you in Madinah with flags. Therefore, the horsemen took off their turbans, placed them on the top of their spears and moved to Madinah. [Wafa al-Wafa, Vol. 1, Page 243, Published by Dar Ihya at-Turath al-Arabi, Beirut – Lebanon]

Noble Companion of Beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) recites his Mawlid and Praises Him:

Hadrat Sayyiduna Hassan Ibn Thaabit (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu) said:

وأحسن منك لم تر قط عيني
Wa Ah'sanu Minka Lum taraqattu Aienee
I haven't seen the lovely personality like you

وأجمل منك لم تلد النساء
Wa Ajmalu Minka Lum Talidin Nisa'u
And no mother have given birth to such a wonderful personality

خُلِقْتَ مبرءاً من كل عيب
Khuliqta Mubarra'am Min Kulli Aie'bin
You are created free from every fault

كأنك قد خُلِقْتَ كما تشاء
Ka'Annaka Qud Khuliqta Kama Tasha'u
You were created, as you wanted to be

And witness how the Beloved Prophet of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala rewarded him? Hadrat Aaisha (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha) narrates that Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him) built a pulpit for Hadrat Hassan (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu) in Masjid al-Nabawi Sharif, and Hadrat Hassan use to Recite his praise standing on that pulpit giving answers to mushriks on behalf of Sayyiduna Muhammadur Rasoolullah (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam). For this act of Hadrat Hassan, Holy Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam) said

إن روح القدس لا يزال يؤيدك ما نافحت عن الله ورسوله
"Verily Ruh-ul- Qudus would continue to help you so long as you put up a defense on behalf of Allah and His Messenger (Peace and Blessings be upon Him)."

Mawlid Gathering at the Time of the Noble Companions (Radi Allahu Anhum Ajma'een):


Imam al-Nasa'i narrated that Hadrat Sayyiduna Ameer al-Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with them) said,

إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خرج على حلقة يعني من أصحابه ، فقال: ما أجلسكم؟, قالوا: جلسنا ندعو الله, ونحمده على ما هدانا لدينه ومن علينا بك، قال: آلله ما أجلسكم إلا ذلك، قالوا: آلله ما أجلسنا إلا ذلك، قال: أما إني لم أستحلفكم تهمة لكم، وإنما أتاني جبريل عليه السلام, فأخبرني أن الله عز وجل يباهي بكم الملائكة
The Messenger of Allah came to a circle – meaning of his Companions and said, "What has made you sit together?" They said, "We sat to pray to Allah and to praise Him for guiding us to His religion, and for blessing us with you." He said, "By Allah, nothing else made you sit together?" They said, "By Allah nothing else made us sit together!" He said, "Know that I did not make you swear on this because I doubted you, but because Gabriel came to me and informed me that Allah (Azza wa Jall) is proudly showing you off to the angels!"

9. Riyad as-Salihin, Book 16, Hadith 1450


The above hadith is one of the clearest evidences for the permissibility of the Mawlid, and clearly shows the companions gathering together to thank Allah (Most High) and give thanks for blessing them with the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). Are the Mawlid gatherings not what is being described in the hadith?
