The Suhuf of Ibrahim and Musa.
Question
What is the suhuf content of Abraham and Moses?
Answer:
Bismillah was shalatu was salam 'ala Rasulillah, wa ba'du,
The word suhuf [الصُّحُف] is a plural form of the word shahifah [الصحيفة], which means sheet which can be used for writing media. Arabs sometimes refer to newspapers as shahifah, because of their sheet forms. While the Tafseer Ulama' understand the suhuf which was revealed to the prophets as the books revealed to the prophets.
Ibn Jarir at-Tabari said,
وأما الصحف: فإنها جمع صحيفة ، وإنما عُنِي بها: كتب إبراهيم وموسى
Suhuf is the plural form of the word shahifah. And what is meant here is the books of Ibraheem (Abraham) and Musa (Moses).
(Jami 'al-Bayan, 24/377)
Allah mentioned in a number of verses in the Koran/Qur'an that He sent the suhuf to Ibrahim. Among them,
[1] Allah said,
قُولُوا آَمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى وَمَا أُوتِيَ النَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ
"Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
[2] Allah said,
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَى. وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى. أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى ...
Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses
And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] -
That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another
[3] Allah said,
إِنَّ هَذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى. صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures (suhuf),
The scriptures (suhuf) of Abraham and Moses.
What is the Suhuf content of Ibrahim?
The scholars emphasized that Suhuf of Ibrahim contained advice. Is there a law about halal-haram in it? Ulama have different opinions. Some say in Ibrahim's suhuf there is also a legal content, and some confirm that Ibrahim's suhuf was only advice.
Imam Ibn 'Uthaymeen explained,
صحف إبراهيم صحف أنزلها الله تعالى على إبراهيم فيها المواعظ والأحكام
Suhuf Ibrahim was the creator that Allah sent to Abraham, in which there were advice and laws.
(Laqa 'Bab al-Maftuh, 176)
Meanwhile, in the Encyclopedia of Fiqh is stated,
وأما صحف إبراهيم وداود فقد كانت مواعظ وأمثالا لا أحكام فيها ، فلم يثبت لها حكم الكتب المشتملة على أحكام
Suhuf Ibrahim and Daud, the contents were advice and parables, and there was no legal discussion there. So that it cannot be called a book that contains legal problems.
(al-Mausu'ah al-Fiqhiyah, 15/167)
The Suhuf Contents of Ibrahim and Moses, some of which Allah has mentioned in the Qur'an/Koran. As in Surat al-A'la, Allah says,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى. وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى. بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا. وَالْآَخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى. إِنَّ هَذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى. صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
But you prefer the worldly life,
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
Indeed, this is in the former suhuf (scriptures)
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
Allah mentions certainly succeeded for those who purify themselves with all their qualities and reproaches for those who put the world forward, even though the afterlife is more noble and eternal. Then Allah affirmed that it was all in the first suhuf, namely the illusions of Abraham and Moses.
Likewise, Allah mentioned in the letter of an-Najm,
أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَى. وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى. أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى. وَأَنْ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَى. وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَى. ثُمَّ يُجْزَاهُ الْجَزَاءَ الْأَوْفَى
"Or has he not been informed of what was in the suhuf (scriptures) of Moses
And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] -
That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another
And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives
And that his effort is going to be seen -
Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense"
According to as-Sa'di, starting at verse 38 and so on is an explanation of the contents for Suhuf Ibrahim and Moses.
(Tafsir as-Sa'di, p. 821).
Based on the information above, that some of the contents of Suhuf Ibrahim and Moses are the same as the verses in the Quran/Koran.
and.. in another opinion, there are hadith from abu Dzar. but we still down know about the status of this hadith.
Abu Dzarr once asked the Prophet,
"What are the suhuf contents of the Ibraheem?, ya the Messenger of Allah"
He replied,
"All its contents are parables of parables (amtsâl). Among them,
"O ruling king, who is tested, and who is deceived! I did not send you to accumulate wealth, but to fulfill the pleas of those who were wronged. Because, I will not reject his petition, even though they are unbeliever. A minded person, as long as he is not controlled by his mind, must be able to divide his time; the time to be devoted to his God, time for self-introspection, time to reflect on God's creation, and time to work to find food and drink. minded people should not travel except with three goals; go to find supplies to the afterlife, go to find provisions in the world, and go to enjoy something that is not forbidden. People who are wise should be keen to see the development of the times and are ready to march on them, as well as always keeping word. Whoever considers words as part of deeds, of course, will only speak a little except the beneficial ones. "
Abu Dharr asked again,
"Then, what is the content of the Moses, O the Messenger of Allah?"
He replied,
"All its contents are expressions of wisdom.
I wonder by those who believe in hell, but he can still laugh a lot.
I wonder by those who believe death in, but he just relaxed and was happy.
I wonder by the person who believed in destiny, but he judged his fate (gambling).
I wonder by someone who believed in the calculation of charity, but he was reluctant to do good deeds.
Abu Dharr said,
"Give me a will, the Messenger of Allah."
He said,
"I will keep taqwa to Allah because Allah is the principal of all matters."
"Add," pleaded Abu Dharr.
He said,
"Read the Qur'an and Dzikr to Allah. It will be a light in the world and a store in the sky for you. "
"Add, the Messenger of Allah, "said Abu Dharr, begging.
He said,
"Avoid a lot of laughter because it can kill the heart and fade the light on the face."
Abu Dharr still asked, "Add."
"do jihad because jihad is the order of my people," added the Prophet.
AbuDzarr said, "Add it."
He said, "Love the poor and guard them."
"Add."
"Look at the person below you, do not look at the person above you."
"Add, the Messenger of Allah."
"tell the truth, Although bitter."
"Add, the Messenger of Allah."
"it is Enough the ugliness for a person when he does not know himself and he likes to do something that is not useful to him."
The Prophet then patted Abu Dharr chest and said,
"There is no mind like planning, no wara' like hold back, and there is no glory like good manners. " 1
