 Posted on 1st March 2012 07:10Iyas (رحمه الله) replied, "It is haraam." The man asked, "How can it be haraam? Please tell me if dates are halaal or haraam?" Iyas (رحمه الله) replied, "Halaal." The man then asked, "Is so-and-so plant halaal or haraam?" Iyas (رحمه الله) replied, "Halaal." The man then asked, "Is water halaal or haraam?" Iyas (رحمه الله) replied, "Halaal." The man then asked, "What is the difference then? Wine is made from dates, plants and water. How can all the ingredients be halaal and the final product haraam?" Iyas (رحمه الله) asked, "If I take a handful of sand and throw it at you, will it cause you any pain?" The man replied, "No." Iyas (رحمه الله) asked, "If I take a handful of water and throw it at you, will it cause you pain?" The man replied, "No." Iyas (رحمه الله) then asked, "If I take a handful of straw and throw it at you, will it cause you pain?" The man replied, "No." Iyas (رحمه الله) then asked, "If I now mix the sand, water and straw, compress the mixture into a brick and leave it to dry, and then throw it at you, will it cause you pain?" The man replied, "Yes, it would hurt me and may even kill me." Iyas (رحمه الله) explained further, "Just as a brick will only cause pain when its constituents are combined, in the same manner, dates, water and plants only when combined and left to ferment, will produce wine which is haraam."

Posted on 14th June 2012 13:33 A man decided to proceed for Hajj and left a considerable amount of wealth in trust with a man known to be trustworthy. After returning from Makkah, he requested for his money, but the man said that he knew nothing about it. Tha Haji went to Iyas Ibn Mu'awiya رحمه الله and related the incident to him. Iyas رحمه الله asked, "Does he know that you have approached me?" He replied, "No." Iyas رحمه الله asked, "Have you mentioned the dispute to anyone?" He replied, "Nobody knows about it besides us." Iyas رحمه الله advised, "Return after two days and ensure that you do not mention the case to anyone." Iyas رحمه الله then called the man with whom the money had been left in trust and said, "A large amount of wealth has reached me. I would like to hand it over to you for safekeeping. Is your home secure?" The man replied, "Yes." Iyas رحمه الله continued, "Good! I advise that you arrange a place for it to be kept and also organise a group of men to carry it to your home." The man agreed and left. After two days, the Haji returned to Iyas رحمه الله, who instructed him, "Proceed to your adversary and ask him for your wealth. If he returns it, then you have achieved your goal. If he refuses, then say to him that you will inform Judge Iyas about the matter." The Haji proceeded, as instructed, and warned that he would complain to the judge about the matter. Quickly, the man returned the money to the Haji, as he feared that his reputation in the sight of the judge would be tarnished. The Haji took possession of it and told Iyas رحمه الله that his money had been returned. After a time, the man arrived at the court of Iyas, who rebuked him severely for his deceptive conduct.

Posted on 15th June 2012 12:40 A man once placed an amount of money in trust with another person. When he requested it, the man refused to hand it over. Both presented their respective cases to Iyas رحمه الله. The plaintiff said, "I handed over my money in trust to him." Iyas رحمه الله asked, "Were there any witnesses?" The plaintiff replied, "No. I handed over the money to him at such and such a place, where nobody else was present." Iyas رحمه الله asked, "Was there any distinguishing feature at the place that you can remember?" The plaintiff replied, "Yes. There was a particular tree at that point." Iyas رحمه الله advised him, "Proceed to the place and find the tree. Perhaps Allaah will make something apparent to you there and you will reclaim your wealth. Perhaps, you buried your money close to the tree and forgot the spot. When you see the tree, you may remember the spot." The man left and Iyas requested the defendant to be seated until he returned. Iyas رحمه الله continued with other court matters. After an hour, he suddenly turned to the defendant and asked, "Do you think that your adversary would have reached the place of the tree by now?" The defendant replied, "No." Iyas رحمه الله reprimanded the man, as he could only have known of the place where he had taken possession of the money, if he had been present there. The defendant then admitted his guilt. When the plaintiff returned, Iyas رحمه الله explained the situation and advised him to take possession of his money from the defendant.

Posted on 2nd July 2012 12:28 Iyas Ibn Mu'awiya رحمة اللہ علیه heard the remark and asked him, "Do you defecate all that you consume?" The Jew replied, "No, Allaah has made a portion of it to serve as beneficial nutrients for the body." Iyas رحمة اللہ علیه then explained, "Then why do you deny that Allaah has the ability to make all of it into beneficial nutrients for the inhabitants of Jannah?" [Wafayatul A'yan, vol 1, p 248] A man of knowledge and wisdom often defeats his adversaries by means of their own logic. [Pearls from the Path]

Posted on 2nd May 2013 10:42 "Only one man ever succeeded in getting the better of me. One day, I was in court when a man testified that a certain garden of so-and-so size belonged to a particular person. To test the truth of his statement, I asked, 'How many trees are there in the garden?' For a moment, he remained silent and then asked, 'Honourable judge, for how many years have you been a judge in this court?' After hearing my reply he asked, 'How many beams are there in the roof?' I had no choice but to admit to the validity of his argument and accepted his testimony." [Akhbar al-Humaqa wal-Mughafileen, p. 83; Humorous Anecdotes, p. 85]
