Belief of SaHaba (Ridwanullahi Ta’ala Alaihim Ajma’een) on Celebrating Mawlid Sharif
..:: Sayings of Exalted Khulafa ar-Rashideen ::..
Shaykh al-Islam Imam Shahabuddin Ahmad Ibn Hajar al-Haytami al-Makki al-Shafi’i (radi Allahu anhu) in his distinguished book “An Ne’matul Kubra” quotes the blessed sayings of the Khulafa-e-Raashideen concerning Mawlad Shareef. Few of these narrations are being quoted below:
Hadrat Syyeduna Abu Bakr as-Siddique (radi Allahu anhu) says,
قال أبو بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه من أنفق درهما على قراءة مولد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان رفيقي في الجنة“Which ever person spends one dirham on the birthday of the Holy Prophet (SallAllaho Alaihi Wa Sallam), He will be with me in Jannah.”
Hadrat Sayyeduna ‘Umar al-Farooq (radi Allahu anhu) says,
قال عمر رضي الله عنه من عظم مولد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقد أحيا الإسلام“Whosoever has respected the Mawlad Shareef of the Holy Prophet (SallAllaho Alaihi Wa Sallam) it is as though he has revived the Deen.”
Hadrat Sayyeduna Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) says,
قال عثمان رضي الله عنه من أنفق درهما على قراءة مولد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فكأنما شهد غزوة بدر وحنين“Whosoever has spent one dirham on the Birthday of the Holy Prophet (SallAllaho Alaihi Wa Sallam), it is as though He was present in Ghazwa-e-Badr and Hunain.”
Hadrat Sayyiduna Ali al-MurtaDa (radi Allahu anhu) says that,
قال علي رضي الله عنه وكرم الله وجهه من عظم مولد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكان سببا لقراءته لا يخرج من الدنيا إلا بالإيمان ويدخل الجنة بغير حساب“Whoso ever respects the Mawlid Sharif and is a means of motivating a Milad function, He will take from this world the gift of Imaan and He will enter Jannah without any questioning.”

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 فاكAfter gaining victory and success in Ghazwa Tabook when Rasoolullah (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam) arrived in Madinatul Munawwara, Hadrat Sayyiduna Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) requested permission of the Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam) to read a few stanzas in his praise then Rahmate Alam (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam) said, ” My dear Uncle! Go ahead. May Almighty Allah keep your mouth well.”
This is what al-`Abbas ibn `Abd al-Muttalib said:
من قبلها طبت في الظلال وفى مستودع حيث يخصف الورقثم هبطت البلاد لا بشر أنت ولا مضغة ولا علقبل نطفة تركب السفين وقد ألجم نسرا وأهله الغرقتنقل من صلب إلى رحم إذا مضى عالم بدا طبقوردت نارا لخليل مستترا في صلبه أنت كيف يحترقثم احتوى بيتك المهيمن خندف علياء تحتها النطقوأنت لما ولدت أشرقت الارض ونارت بنورك الافقفنحن في ذلك الضياء وفى النور وسبل الرشاد نخترق
… Before you came to this world,you were excellent in the shadows and in the repository (i.e. loins)in the time when they (Adam and Eve) covered themselves with leaves.Then you descended through the ages…When you were born, the earth shoneand your light illuminated the horizon.We travel in that illumination and in the light and in the paths of right guidance.”
Mullah Ali al-Qari in his ‘Sharh al-Shifa’ (1:364) says it is related by Abu Bakr al-Shafi`i and Tabarani, and cited by Ibn `Abd al-Barr and Ibn al-Qayyim respectively in ‘al-Isti`ab’ and ‘Huda Nabiyy Allah (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam)’.
This has been stated in distinguished works of great Muhaditheen such as Imam Jalaluddeen Suyuti, Muhadith ibn Jauzi, Allamah Ibn Hajr, Allamah Halbi, Allamah Dahlaan Makki, Allamah Nibhaani, Allamah ibn Abdul Birr, Allamah Haakim, Allamah Ibn Kathir and Allamah Sharistaani (radi Allahu Anhumul Ajmaeen).

Sayyidatuna Aamina Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha states,
ورأيت ثلاثة أعلام مضروبات علما في المشرق وعلما في المغرب وعلما على ظهر الكعبة فأخذني المخاض فولدت محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم“I saw that three flags are sited, One in East, One in West and the third on roof of Ka’ba Shareef and Prophet’s Peace Be Uon Him birth took place.” (Khasaisul Kubra, Vol1, Pg 82, Published from Darul Kutub Ilmia – Berut)

وأجمل منك لم تلد النساءWa Ajmalu Minka Lum Talidin Nisa’uAnd no mother have given birth to such a wonderful personality
