00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:39,579 It highlights the command to learn horsemanship and martial skills and the encouragement toward them, 28 00:01:39,579 --> 00:01:44,120 especially archery. 29 00:01:44,120

00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,639 as that would waste arrows unnecessarily. 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,219 Benefits derived from the hadith: 44 00:02:25,219 --> 00:02:27,139 Among the lessons drawn from

on interpretation and commits an error, 63 00:03:27,939 --> 00:03:29,699 no blame attaches to him, 64 00:03:29,699 --> 00:03:31,900 because the Prophet (peace be upon him) 65 00:03:31,939 --> 00:03:34,340 did not censure 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), 66 00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:36,819 since he had acted out of a well-intentioned interpretation. 67 00:03:36,819 --> 00:03:40,699 The

74 00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:04,860 without the Muslims having to spur horses or riding-camels against them. 75 00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:09,659 Thus, they belonged exclusively to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 76 00:04:09,659 --> 00:04:13,340 He would allocate from them a year's provision for his family, 77 00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:19,860 and whatever remained he would devote to arms and

and blessings of Allah be upon him) invoke both his parents for anyone 98 00:05:20,769 --> 00:05:23,329 except for Sa'd ibn Malik. 99 00:05:23,329 --> 00:05:26,569 For I heard him say on the day of

May my father and mother be ransomed for you!" 106 00:05:42,769 --> 00:05:45,850 Offering one's parents as a ransom in speech is an expression of affection, honor, and deep affection, 107 00:05:45,850

and elders, thereby humiliating them, 189 00:10:47,299 --> 00:10:52,690 and Allah granted victory to His religion, His Prophet, and His believing party. 190 00:10:52,690 --> 00:10:56,259 Benefits

Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 201 00:11:35,139 --> 00:11:36,899 Namely, lice. 202 00:11:36,899 --> 00:11:39,649 So he granted the two of them a concession to wear silk. 203

00:12:16,379 --> 00:12:19,620 Whereby the underlying cause for its prohibition no longer applies. 216 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:27,019 The hadith further points to the principle that necessity renders prohibited things permissible. 217 00:12:27,059 --> 00:12:30,490 Chapter: What Has Been Said Regarding Fighting the Byzantines 218 00:12:30,490 --> 00:12:32,090 On the authority of Umm Haram, 219

them. 236 00:13:14,990 --> 00:13:17,870 Umm Haram is the daughter of Milhan, 237 00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:22,269 And she was an unmarriageable relative (*mahram*) of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 238 00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:24,070 "The city of Caesar" 239 00:13:24,110 --> 00:13:27,179 Refers to Constantinople. 240 00:13:27,179 --> 00:13:29,980 "I asked, 'Am I among them, O

expedition for military campaign indeed came to pass. 246 00:13:46,899 --> 00:13:50,840 It also highlights the permissibility of wishing to participate in military expeditions and attain martyrdom. 247 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,240 Furthermore, the hadith points to the virtue of Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) 248 00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:56,879 And constitutes a merit attributed to him, 249 00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:01,820 As he was the first to lead a naval campaign. 250 00:14:01,820 --> 00:14:05,100 Chapter: Fighting the Jews 251 00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,539 On the authority of

greeting of peace. 403 00:21:36,430 --> 00:21:40,589 In it is an indication that the condition of the Jews is built upon treachery and deceit, 404 00:21:40,589 --> 00:21:46,480 Thus, it is obligatory

--> 00:22:53,500 In it is a demonstration of the Prophet's mercy (peace be upon him) to all people. 426 00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:59,380 Chapter: The Prophet's Call of the People to Islam and Prophethood. 427 00:22:59,380 --> 00:23:05,039 “Say: O People of the Scripture!

servanthood; 457 00:24:48,470 --> 00:24:52,789 None of them deserves any of the attributes of Lordship, 458 00:24:52,789 --> 00:24:55,740 Nor any of the characteristics of Divinity. 459 00:24:55,740

00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,960 It is his informing (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 485 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,880 That Allah would grant victory at the hands of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), 486 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,680 And so it occurred. 487 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,039 As for the practical signs: 488 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,839 The spitting of the Prophet (peace be upon him) 489 00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:22,799 Into the eyes of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) 490 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,490 When he was suffering from conjunctivitis, and he was instantly healed. 491 00:26:25,490 --> 00:26:29,809 In it is an indication that likening the matters of the Hereafter to the affairs of this world 492 00:26:29,809 --> 00:26:33,180 Is merely to bring the concepts closer to human understanding. 493 00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:37,140 In it is a demonstration of the virtue of calling to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. 494 00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:41,059 In it is the affirmation of giving guidance and direction to servants. 495 00:26:41,059 --> 00:26:44,980 In it is the permissibility of a person aspiring to noble and lofty matters. 496 00:26:44,980 --> 00:26:48,980 In it is that the statement of sincere faith (La ilaha illallah) grants sanctity to blood. 497 00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:53,539 In it is a demonstration of the virtue of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). 498 00:26:53,539 --> 00:26:59,650 In it is guidance toward sound management and strategic planning. 499 00:26:59,650 --> 00:27:03,049 On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: 500 00:27:03,049 --> 00:27:06,769 The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 501 00:27:06,769 --> 00:27:12,769 "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: 'There is no god but Allah.' 502 00:27:12,769 --> 00:27:16,049 So whoever says: 'There is no god but Allah,' 503 00:27:16,049 --> 00:27:19,250 Has protected his life and property from me, 504 00:27:19,250 --> 00:27:24,240 Except by its right, and his reckoning rests with Allah." 505 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,400 Commentary on the hadith: 506

what he conceals or keeps secret of disbelief and sins. 509 00:27:37,819 --> 00:27:41,519 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 510 00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:45,119 It is learned from the hadith that judgment is based on outward appearances, 511 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,920 While Allah alone takes charge of the secret intentions. 512 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,240 In it is that the statement of sincere faith protects blood and safeguards wealth. 513 00:27:53,240 --> 00:28:00,529 In the hadith is an indication that the execution of legal punishments belongs to the ruler. 514 00:28:00,529 --> 00:28:04,410 Chapter: One Who Intends a Military Expedition and Conceals It by Mentioning Another, and One Who Prefers Setting Out on Thursday. 515 00:28:04,410 --> 00:28:08,759 And one who prefers setting out on a Thursday. 516 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:11,799 On the authority of Ka'b ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), 517 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:14,359 That the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 518 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,880 Set out on Thursday for the Expedition of Tabuk, 519 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,740 And he used to love setting out on Thursdays. 520 00:28:21,740 --> 00:28:23,180 In another narration: 521 00:28:23,180 --> 00:28:27,980 Rarely did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) set out 522 00:28:27,980 --> 00:28:32,710 On a journey except on a Thursday. 523 00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:36,130 Commentary on the hadith: 524 00:28:36,130 --> 00:28:39,210 "And he used to love setting out on Thursdays"— 525 00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:44,759 This is understood as referring to the majority of his journeys (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 526 00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:48,400 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 527 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,319 It is learned from the hadith 528 00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:53,200 The desirability of traveling on a Thursday. 529 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,920 In it is that indirect speech or misdirection is permissible during necessities, 530 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,440 And in it is a valid alternative to lying.
