[quote]let's move to ur 2. Reference the following paragraph/lines from the link http://monthly-renaissance.com/issue/content.aspx?id=77 “Things which merely state some aspect of human nature cannot be regarded as Sunnah”. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: "Five practices are characteristics of the Human nature: circumcision, shaving the pubic region, clipping the nails and cutting the moustaches short." If the things which state some aspect of human nature cannot be regarded as Sunnah, why do you call these practices (circumcision, shaving pubic hair, clipping the nails and cutting the moustaches short) as Sunnah? My RES: Actually in "human nature cannot be regarded as Sunnah" the connotation of word human nature is different from what is in in the hadith of 5 practices. In the hadith it is referring to the thing that are related to Human Nature i.e. Natural in their nature whereas in the 1st sentence it's used for daily life things of the Prophet S,A,W, like his dressing style is just Bcoz he was an Arab so that can't be regarded as Sunnah. Reference the example of the above principle: “Beasts having canine teeth, wild birds having claws and tamed donkeys have been prohibited by the Prophet (sws); however, this prohibition is only a delineation of human nature, which is averse to eating such things. Hence this prohibition cannot be termed as Sunnah”. According to my understanding this example is related to determination of Halal & Haram, and is not of PRACTICAL nature. So these are not Sunnah as per Second Principle of determining Sunnah, and have nothing to do with the Fifth Principle. Is there any other example of the Fifth Principle (Things which merely state some aspect of human nature cannot be regarded as Sunnah)? My RES: Actually here are again somethings to be understood carefully. The Author is of the opinion that Halal o Haram in eating n drinking are based on a rule and our Nature can determine it itself & that is the determination of Tayyab n Khabith. And as a rule one thing that's based on NATURE cannot be regarded as Sunnah OR an addition in other Sunnah things Just bcoz it has come in Quran or Hadith. Therefore explaining the above mentioned Hadith it is said that the Prophet S,A,W, is not giving a NEW rule here, just giving examples of Khabith in Human Nature. So nature is the determination of Tayyab n Khabith & Hadith showing sm examples of Khabith.[/quote]
