This is the concluding portion of the previous piece on The Creation Of Man From numerous sources. What is the meaning of thehe word "Nutfah"?
The authenticity of the final part of the narration is verified or otherwise in this article as well.
The authenticity of the last section of the Hadith
Some other Scholars say that the last section of the hadith (i.e. “By Allah…) is not part of the
text of the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, but the words of ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud. But since the issue in this narration is related to matters which we cannot perceive with our limited human perception, this last section is accepted and included here because ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud may have derived the meaning from another hadith of the Prophet,
sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, to explain this hadith better.
There are other narrations collected by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, which touch on the same
hadith issue. But there are some differences between the texts of those narrations and this Hadith.
Those hadiths report the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, as saying: One of you will perform the acts of the people of the Paradise (Ahlul Jannah) as it appears in the eyes of the people.
This is like the Munafiqin or hypocrites – they perform the acts of the Mua’minin. They appear, in our eyes, to be doing the acts of the Ahlul Jannah but Allah knows best. Their end will be a disaster – by being Munafiqin they are actually denying the message of God in their deep hearts as Allah mentioned in the Qur’an and their abode will be in the Hellfire since they do not submit to Allah in their hearts. This explanation of the other hadiths is important in the comprehension of this hadith.
May Allah grant us the understanding.
