The effect of hadith narrations on the interpretation of the story of the Sabbath Companions - an analytical study

Abstract

One should beware of defrauding God Almighty, as did the companions of the Sabbath, for their work is apparently permissible until its inward is forbidden. Deceiving what God has forbidden and forbidding what God, Glory be to Him, has permitted is more severe than just committing the forbidden, because this will become a Sunnah, and some people who are weak in spirit will follow them. In what they did, they bear burdens with their burdens, and the existence of a sect that enjoins good and forbids evil, this righteous sect is a gain for every society, for with them innovations die, conditions are reformed, and sacred things are protected. They change the condition of people, and that advice will not work with the aggressor sect, for this sect, although they are righteous in themselves, they are negative towards others.
