Be careful! Sinning could erase the reward of good deeds

[Haitham Hamdan]

Verse 49/2: “O ye who believe! raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk, as ye may speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds become vain and ye perceive not.

Verse 2/264: O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like those who spend their substance to be seen of men, but believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. They are in Parable like a hard barren rock, on which is a little soil; on it falls heavy rain, which leaves it (just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing with aught they have earned. And Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.

‘Aishah RAA told the mother of Zaid bin Arqam RAA: Tell your son: if he does not stop dealing in ‘Eenah (an unlawful financial transaction) then his Jihaad with the Prophet ASWS will become nullified.

May Allah SWT save us.

Verse 49/2: “O ye who believe! raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk, as ye may speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds become vain and ye perceive not.
If mere raising the voice can nullify the actions , then how about rejecting his commandments? How about the one who is presented a hadith and says: "I cannot accept it because our elders did not follow it"?
Look at the following excerpt from taqreer ul tirimzi by Shaiekh Mahmudul hasan deobandi. He did a long commentary all the way from ppp 48 to 49 on a single hadeth of sunan tirimzi. Imam Abu Haneefah and Imam Shafei disagreed about the issue of khyaar Al-Majlis based on this issue. After listing the evidences of the two sides he says: "So the conclusion is that that the issue of khayar is from important issues and the majority opposed Abu Hanifa on this issue and many new and old scholars wrote treatises to reject his mazhab in this issue and Maulana Shah Wali ullah Dahlavi qudsirrahu preferred Sahfei's mazhab in his 'rasaail' due to the evidences from Quraan and Sunnah and likewise our sheikh mudda zillahu (mahmoodul hasan deobandi) said that haq and insaaf (truth and justice) is that preference should be given to Shafei in this issue, and we are muqallids the taqleed of our Imam Abu Hanifa rahimahullah is wajib (mandatory) on us, and Allah knows best ."
الحق و الانصاف أنّ ترجيح للشافعي في هذه المسئلة

و نحن مقلدون أبي حنيفة يجب علينا تقليد امامنا

Brother Moumen: Wafeeka barakallah.

Brother Bilal: What a great example of radical madhhabism. May Allah SWT save us.

Here is another hadeeth on the title matter:

Prophet ASWS said: You might find a fasting person who will gain nothing from his fasting except hunger and thirst. And you might find a night worshipper who will gain nothing from his worship except not enjoying enough sleep.

Meaning: those worshippers lost the reward for their good deeds because of bad deeds they have committed.

May Allah SWT save us.
