Question:
1. Can you please help me determine if these 20 items are true or not (http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/ ibrar/The-Islamic-Page/Sites/Onlinedurst/20virtuesofwomen.htm).2. What does Allah say about people who deliberately spread falsehood about Him?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
The most dangerous falsehood is telling lies about Allah and His Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam). Allah says: {Say (O Muhammad SAW): "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are AlFawâhish (great evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allâh for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allâh of which you have no knowledge."} [7:33].
Allah also says: {Then, who does more wrong than one who utters a lie against Allâh, and denies the truth [this Qur'ân, the Prophet (Muhammad SAW), the Islâmic Monotheism, the Resurrection and the reward or punishment according to good or evil deeds] when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the disbelievers?} [39:32].
Imams al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "Whoever deliberately attributes any falsehood to me, in fact, he finds his abode in the Hell-Fire" . Therefore, no one should attribute to Allah or His Prophet what neither said; otherwise, he will face the above destiny. The sayings referred to them in the question are not found in the authentic sources of Sunnah. Thus, one should avoid attributing these sayings to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) because certain and different huge reward for some deeds are promised that cannot be proved. However, some of the matters that are proved in sound Sunnah are as follows.
Imam al-Bukhari narrated from Abu Masud that the Prophet said: "One of the saying of the early Prophets which the people received is, if you don't feel ashamed do whatever you like."
Imam Ahmad reported in his al-Musnad on the authority of Abdur Rahman bin Awf that the Prophet said: "When a woman observes the five times of prayer, fasts during Ramadan, preserves her chastity and obeys her husband, it is said to her to enter by any of the gates of the Paradise she wishes" [Its chain is good].
Imam Ibn Majah narrated from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet said: "There are three people whose prayer does not ascend beyond their heads, even to the length of the span. The person who leads people in prayers despite their disapproval, a woman who spends the night in a state in which her husband is annoyed with her, and the two brothers who are estranged." Sheikh al-Albani said, 'this Hadith is weak with stated words, but it is good with the words '…The runaway slave…' instead the 'the person who leads….' .
Imam Abu Dawood, al-Nasae, Ibn Majah reported from Abdullah bin Jabir that the Prophet said: "A woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr."
Allah knows best.
