Kissing the thumbs and placing them on the eyes on Hearing the Name of the Beloved Prophet In Islam

Meaningless Innovaation(Bidah) in our society:

Topic:::"Kissing the thumbs and placing them on the eyes on Hearing the Name of the Beloved Prophet"

#Evidence for this from Saheeh hadith?

Ans:Absolutely nothing is narrated for this from messenger of allah....

Assalamualaikum Brothers and Sisters, 

Praise be to Allaah,

Some people Kiss there Thumbs and place it on eyes on Hearing the Name of the Beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),this is an innovation (bidah).,when i adviced them that this is an act of innovation,I got reply like this " our masjid imams said that on listening to the name of the our beloved prophet, one should kiss his eyes so that there will no effect on eye sight "

wallahi this is the condition of ummah at present!

Its meaningless and baseless......

This bid’ah is something that was invented by some of the Sufi orders (tareeqahs) and some Muslims followed them in that, thinking well of them and unaware that it is a misguided innovation. 

What the Muslim should do is to avoid innovations and beware of them; he should strive to follow the Qur’aan and Sunnah, without adding anything or taking anything away, for Allaah has perfected this religion: 

“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”

[al-Maa'idah 5:3] 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not die until he had conveyed the message from his Lord in full. He did not leave anything good but he enjoined it upon us, and he did not leave anything bad but he forbade it to us and warned us against it. May the blessings and peace of my Lord be upon him. 

What is prescribed for the Muslim when hearing the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is to venerate him and show respect by sending blessings and salaams upon him. 

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “May his nose be rubbed in the dust, a man in whose presence I am mentioned and he does not send blessings upon me.” Narrated and classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi, 3545; classed as saheeh by al-Albaan

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The miser is the one in whose presence I am mentioned and he does not send blessings upon me.” Narrated and classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi, 3546; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani 

With regard to kissing one’s eyes when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is mentioned, perhaps what is meant by that is kissing the thumbs and placing them on the eyes. That is an innovation (bid’ah).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does an action that is not in accordance with this matters of ours will have it rejected.” 

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Beware of newly-invented matters, for every newly-invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a going astray.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4607;

It is a practice of the some Sunni muslims to kiss their thumbs and then wipe onto their eyes when they hear the name of their beloved Muhammad Salal lahu alay he wasalam. This is particularly common during the Azaan and when Darud Sharif is recited upon the messenger...

it is proven from a weak and fabricated narrations that abu bakr (R) used to do this......

But no authentic(saheeh ) hadith there to approve this act.....

so all most all scholars of islam agreed that this is an act of innovation and hence we must avoid it................

We ask Allaah to help us and you to do that which He loves and which will please Him. 

Allah knows the best........
