عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ سِبْطِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم وَرَيْحَانَتِهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: حَفِظْت مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم "دَعْ مَا يُرِيبُك إلَى مَا لَا يُرِيبُك". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ [رقم: 2520]، [وَالنَّسَائِيّ] وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
On the authority of Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abee Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the one much loved by him, who said: I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.”
[At-Tirmidhi] [An-Nasai] At-Tirmidhi said that it was a good and sound (hasan saheeh) hadeeth.
Summary of Discussion:
On August 29th, from 08:20 to 08:45 WIB, we read and discussed Hadith number 11 from Arba'in Nawawi. The discussion involved five participants: Agus, Fayandi, Febri, Debi, and Cha-Cha, with Agus serving as the reader.
We talked about the Hadith, which advises leaving what is doubtful in favor of what is certain.
Fayandi shared his experience at a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, where he avoided eating chicken because he was unsure if it had been slaughtered in the name of God, and instead chose fish as an alternative. Agus recounted his time in Samapta training, where a trainer emphasized, “If you have doubt, just leave it from now on.” Cha-Cha shared her decision to stop using nail polish (kutek) because she was unsure whether it would allow her to perform Wudu properly. Debi and Febri provided other examples of doubtful matters, such as hair coloring and eyebrow embroidery.
We also reflected on the brevity of human life, which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) described as typically between 60 and 70 years. We calculated that if one lives to be 60 years old, about 20 years are spent sleeping, 20 years working, and the remaining 20 years on other activities. We discussed how, if our intention behind all activities is for the sake of Allah, they can be considered acts of worship (Ibadah).
We delved into the meaning of Ibadah, concluding that it encompasses all actions done with the intention of pleasing Allah, not just physical or spiritual activities like prayer or recitation of the Quran. For example, sports can be an act of Ibadah if done with the intention of maintaining health for the sake of Allah.
Additionally, we touched on the history of Prophet Noah (AS). After the Great Flood, three groups of people emerged, who are identified today in anthropology as Caucasoid (Western and Middle Eastern people with white skin), Negroid (Africans, Papuans, etc., with black skin), and Mongoloid (Asians with yellow skin). We noted that the lifespan of Prophet Noah's people was around 1000 years, much longer than the lifespans we have today.
Lastly, we discussed Prophet Adam (AS), recognizing him as the father of all human beings.
