WEBVTT 00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:09.779 Riyad al-Salihin from the words of the Master of the Messengers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:09.779 --> 00:00:14.470 Chapter: The Prohibition of Lying. 00:00:14.470 --> 00:00:20.359 On the authority of Samurah ibn Jundub, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:27.359 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would often ask his Companions: 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.519 "Has any one of you seen a vision?" 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.520 Then, whoever Allah willed would relate his vision to him. 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.619 One morning, he said to us: 00:00:38.619 --> 00:00:42.679 "Two visitors came to me last night." 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.679 "They said to me, 'Come along.'" 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.679 "So I went with them." 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.679 "We came upon a man lying down," 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.679 "and another standing over him with a rock," 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.679 "and he was smashing the rock against his head," 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.679 "shattering his skull." 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.680 "The stone would roll away," 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.680 "and he would follow it, retrieve it," 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:13.680 "and not return to him until his head had healed and returned to its original state." 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.680 "Then he would return to him," 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.680 "and do to him exactly what he did the first time." 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.739 I said to them, "Subhan Allah! What is this?" 00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:30.810 They said to me, "Go on, go on." 00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:32.939 So we went on. 00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:36.939 We came upon a man lying on his back, 00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:41.939 with another standing over him holding an iron hook, 00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:45.939 and he would approach one side of his face, 00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:48.939 tearing his jaw to the back of his neck, 00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:50.939 his nostril to the back of his neck, 00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:53.939 and his eye to the back of his neck. 00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:57.000 Then he would move to the other side, 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.000 and do to it exactly what he did to the first side. 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.060 No sooner would he finish that side, 00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:09.060 than it would heal and return to its original state. 00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:11.060 Then he would return to him, 00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:15.060 and do exactly what he did the first time. 00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:21.189 I said, "Subhan Allah! What is this?" 00:02:21.189 --> 00:02:23.219 He said, 00:02:23.219 --> 00:02:27.379 They said to me, "Go on, go on." 00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:29.379 So we went on. 00:02:29.379 --> 00:02:32.379 We came upon something like a furnace, 00:02:32.379 --> 00:02:34.379 (I believe he said,) 00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:37.379 and inside it was clamor and voices. 00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:39.379 We looked into it, 00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:43.379 and there were naked men and women. 00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:48.479 A flame would come to them from beneath them, 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.479 and when that flame reached them, 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.479 they would cry out. 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.699 I asked, "Who are these?" 00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:56.699 They said to me, 00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:58.699 "Go on, go on." 00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:00.800 So we went on. 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.800 We came upon a river, 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.800 (I believe he said) red like blood. 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.900 In the river was a man swimming, 00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:14.900 and on the bank of the river was a man 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.900 who had gathered many stones before him. 00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:22.990 The swimmer would swim for a while, 00:03:22.990 --> 00:03:27.090 then come to the one who had gathered the stones, 00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:30.090 and open his mouth, 00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:32.090 and he would cast a stone into it. 00:03:32.090 --> 00:03:34.090 Then he would go off and swim, 00:03:34.090 --> 00:03:36.090 and then return to him. 00:03:36.090 --> 00:03:40.120 Every time he returned, he would open his mouth for him, 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.120 and he would cast a stone into it. 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.250 I said to them, 00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:46.250 "What are these two?" 00:03:46.250 --> 00:03:48.280 They said to me, 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.280 "Go on, go on." 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.409 So we went on. 00:03:52.409 --> 00:03:56.409 We came upon a man with a repulsive appearance, 00:03:56.409 --> 00:04:00.409 or the most repulsive appearance you have ever seen in a man. 00:04:00.409 --> 00:04:05.469 He had a fire before him, which he was stoking and running around. 00:04:05.469 --> 00:04:07.539 I said to them, 00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:09.539 "What is this?" 00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:10.539 They said to me, 00:04:10.539 --> 00:04:12.539 "Go on, go on." 00:04:12.539 --> 00:04:14.659 So we went on. 00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:20.660 We came upon a lush garden, filled with all the flowers of spring. 00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:24.660 In the middle of the garden was a tall man, 00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:28.660 whose head I could barely see because of his height reaching toward the sky. 00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:33.660 Around the man were more children than I had ever seen. 00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:35.889 I said, "What is this?" 00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:37.889 "And who are these?" 00:04:37.889 --> 00:04:39.980 They said to me, 00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:41.980 "Go on, go on." 00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:43.980 So we went on. 00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:46.980 We came to a magnificent tree, 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:51.980 the greatest and most beautiful I have ever seen. 00:04:51.980 --> 00:04:52.980 They said to me, 00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:54.980 "Climb it." 00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:58.980 We climbed it until we reached a city built 00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:01.980 with bricks of gold and bricks of silver. 00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:05.079 We came to the gate of the city, 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:06.079 and asked for it to be opened, 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.079 and it was opened for us. 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.079 We entered it, 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.079 and were met by men 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.079 whose one half was as beautiful as the most handsome person you have ever seen, 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:21.079 and whose other half was as ugly as the most hideous person you have ever seen. 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.110 They said to them, 00:05:23.110 --> 00:05:26.110 "Go and submerge yourselves in that river." 00:05:26.110 --> 00:05:30.110 It was a river flowing across, 00:05:30.110 --> 00:05:33.110 its water as white as pure milk. 00:05:33.110 --> 00:05:36.110 They went and submerged themselves in it, 00:05:36.110 --> 00:05:41.110 then returned to us, and that ugliness had left them, 00:05:41.110 --> 00:05:44.300 and they had become the most beautiful in appearance. 00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:45.300 He said, 00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:47.300 They said to me, 00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:49.300 "This is the Garden of Eden," 00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:51.300 "and that is your dwelling." 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:54.459 I raised my gaze upward, 00:05:54.459 --> 00:05:58.459 and there was a palace like a white cloud. 00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:00.589 They said to me, 00:06:00.589 --> 00:06:02.589 "That is your dwelling." 00:06:02.589 --> 00:06:04.819 I said to them, 00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:06.819 "May Allah bless you both!" 00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:08.819 "Let me enter it." 00:06:08.819 --> 00:06:10.879 They said, 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.879 "Not now, but you shall enter it." 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.879 "And you will enter it." 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.100 I said to them, 00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:20.100 "I have seen wonders tonight," 00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:23.100 "so what is this that I have seen?" 00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:25.100 They said to me, 00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:27.100 "We will inform you." 00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:33.360 "As for the first man you came upon, whose head was being shattered with the rock," 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.360 "he is the man who receives the Qur'an and rejects it," 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.360 "and sleeps through the obligatory prayer." 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.620 "As for the man you came upon whose jaw was being torn to the back of his neck," 00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:48.620 "his nostril to the back of his neck," 00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:50.620 "and his eye to the back of his neck," 00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:53.649 "he is the man who leaves his house," 00:06:53.649 --> 00:06:57.649 "and tells a lie that reaches the horizons." 00:06:57.649 --> 00:07:00.870 "As for the naked men and women" 00:07:00.870 --> 00:07:04.870 "who were in something like a furnace," 00:07:04.870 --> 00:07:07.870 "they are the adulterers and adulteresses." 00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:13.060 "As for the man you came upon swimming in the river," 00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:15.060 "and being fed stones," 00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:18.100 "he is the consumer of usury." 00:07:18.100 --> 00:07:21.100 "As for the man with the repulsive appearance" 00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:25.100 "who was by the fire, stoking it and running around it," 00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:29.290 "he is Malik, the guardian of Hell." 00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:32.290 "As for the tall man in the garden," 00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:35.290 "he is Ibrahim." 00:07:35.290 --> 00:07:37.290 "As for the children around him," 00:07:37.290 --> 00:07:40.290 "they are every child who died upon the fitrah (natural state)." 00:07:40.290 --> 00:07:43.480 In the narration of al-Barqani: 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.480 "Born upon the fitrah." 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.740 Some Muslims asked, 00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:52.740 "O Messenger of Allah, and the children of the polytheists?" 00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:56.740 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, 00:07:56.740 --> 00:07:59.990 "And the children of the polytheists." 00:07:59.990 --> 00:08:03.990 "As for the people who were half handsome" 00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:07.180 "and half ugly," 00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:10.180 "they are people who mixed a righteous deed" 00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:12.180 "with another that was evil," 00:08:12.180 --> 00:08:15.180 "but Allah pardoned them." 00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:18.860 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 00:08:18.860 --> 00:08:20.980 In another narration of his: 00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:23.980 "I saw two men last night who came to me," 00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:26.980 "and took me out to a sacred land," 00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:28.980 then he mentioned it, 00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:30.980 and said: 00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:34.980 "We went to a hole like a furnace," 00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:37.980 "narrow at the top and wide at the bottom," 00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:40.980 "with a fire blazing beneath it." 00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:42.980 "When it flared up," 00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:45.980 "they rose until they almost exited," 00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:47.980 "and when it subsided," 00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:50.019 "they returned into it." 00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:53.019 "Inside were naked men and women." 00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.210 And in it: 00:08:55.210 --> 00:08:58.210 "Until we came to a river of blood," 00:08:58.210 --> 00:09:00.210 (and he did not express doubt), 00:09:00.210 --> 00:09:04.340 "in which a man was standing in the middle of the river," 00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:06.340 "and on the bank of the river was a man," 00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:09.340 "with stones before him." 00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:12.500 "The man in the river would come forward," 00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:14.500 "and whenever he wanted to exit," 00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:17.500 "the man would throw a stone into his mouth," 00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:19.500 "returning him to where he was." 00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:22.500 "Every time he tried to exit,"

liar who tells a lie," 00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:52.820 "and it is carried from him until it reaches the horizons," 00:09:52.820 --> 00:09:56.820 "so he is treated as you saw until the Day of Resurrection." 00:09:56.820 --> 00:09:59.200 And in it: 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.200 "The one you saw having his head smashed," 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.200 "is a man whom Allah taught the Qur'an," 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.200 "but he slept through it at night," 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.200 "and did not act upon it during the day," 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.200 It will be done to him until the Day of Resurrection. 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.360 As for the first dwelling you entered, 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.360 it is the dwelling of the general body of believers. 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.360 As for this dwelling, 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.360 it is the dwelling of the martyrs. 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.419 I am Jibril, 00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:28.419 and this is Mika'il. 00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:30.419 So raise your head. 00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:32.419 I raised my head, 00:10:32.419 --> 00:10:35.419 and above me was something like a cloud. 00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:36.419 He said, 00:10:36.419 --> 00:10:38.419 "That is your dwelling." 00:10:38.419 --> 00:10:39.519 I said, 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.519 "Let me enter my dwelling." 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:43.549 He said, 00:10:43.549 --> 00:10:47.549 "You still have a portion of life left to complete." 00:10:47.549 --> 00:10:49.549 Had you completed it, 00:10:49.549 --> 00:10:51.549 you would have entered your

dreams in the morning 00:11:58.379 --> 00:12:00.379 is better than at other times, 00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:02.379 because the dreamer remembers them well, 00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:04.379 due to the proximity of the time. 00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:06.769 The desirability of asking 00:12:06.769 --> 00:12:08.769 someone who has seen a dream and listening to it. 00:12:08.769 --> 00:12:11.250 Affirmation of the punishment 00:12:11.250 --> 00:12:13.250 of the grave, 00:12:13.250 --> 00:12:15.250 and that some sinners are punished 00:12:15.250 --> 00:12:17.730 in the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection). 00:12:17.730 --> 00:12:19.730 The permissibility of summarizing knowledge, 00:12:19.730 --> 00:12:21.730 which is to group issues together, 00:12:21.730 --> 00:12:23.730 then explain them in order, 00:12:23.730 --> 00:12:25.730 so that one may grasp 00:12:25.730 --> 00:12:28.269 the conceptualization of them in the mind. 00:12:28.269 --> 00:12:30.269 A

has memorized it. 00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:39.139 It contains a warning against adultery, 00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:41.139 usury, and intentional lying, 00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:43.139 because they are among the destructive sins, 00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:45.460 the ruinous ones. 00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:47.460 An explanation of the encouragement to seek knowledge 00:12:47.460 --> 00:12:49.460 and to follow

00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:58.350 are the highest of dwellings. 00:12:58.350 --> 00:13:00.350 As for the one whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal, 00:13:00.350 --> 00:13:02.350 Allah will overlook them 00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:04.350 by His mercy. 00:13:04.350 --> 00:13:09.230 Chapter: What is permissible 00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:12.350 regarding lying. 00:13:12.350 --> 00:13:14.350 Know that lying, 00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:16.350 although its origin is forbidden, 00:13:16.350 --> 00:13:18.350 is permissible in certain circumstances, 00:13:18.350 --> 00:13:20.350 under conditions I have clarified 00:13:20.350 --> 00:13:22.350 in the book al-Adhkar. 00:13:22.350 --> 00:13:24.350 A summary of this is 00:13:24.350 --> 00:13:26.350 that speech is a means 00:13:26.350 --> 00:13:28.350 to achieve objectives. 00:13:28.350 --> 00:13:30.350 Every praiseworthy objective 00:13:30.350 --> 00:13:32.350 that can be achieved without lying, 00:13:32.350 --> 00:13:34.350 it is forbidden to lie to achieve it. 00:13:34.350 --> 00:13:36.350 But if it cannot be achieved 00:13:36.350 --> 00:13:38.350 except by lying, 00:13:38.350 --> 00:13:40.509 then lying is permissible. 00:13:40.509 --> 00:13:42.509 Furthermore, if the achievement of that 00:13:42.509 --> 00:13:44.509 objective is permissible, 00:13:44.509 --> 00:13:46.509 then the lie is permissible. 00:13:46.509 --> 00:13:48.509 And if it is obligatory, 00:13:48.509 --> 00:13:50.610 then the lie is obligatory. 00:13:50.610 --> 00:13:52.610 For instance, if a Muslim hides from an oppressor 00:13:52.610 --> 00:13:54.610 who wants to kill him or take his wealth, 00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:56.610 and he hides his wealth, 00:13:56.610 --> 00:13:58.610 and someone is asked about him, 00:13:58.610 --> 00:14:00.610 it becomes obligatory to lie to protect him. 00:14:00.610 --> 00:14:02.610 Likewise, if one has a trust (deposit) 00:14:02.610 --> 00:14:04.610 and an oppressor wants to take it, 00:14:04.610 --> 00:14:06.610 it becomes obligatory to lie 00:14:06.610 --> 00:14:08.610 to hide it. 00:14:08.610 --> 00:14:10.610 The most cautious approach in all of this 00:14:10.610 --> 00:14:12.610 is to use tawriyah (equivocation). 00:14:12.610 --> 00:14:14.610 The meaning of tawriyah is 00:14:14.610 --> 00:14:16.610 to intend by one's expression a meaning 00:14:16.610 --> 00:14:18.610 that is true, which is not 00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:20.610 a lie in relation to that intent, 00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:22.610 even if it is a lie in the outward 00:14:22.610 --> 00:14:24.610 form of the words and in relation 00:14:24.610 --> 00:14:26.610 to what the listener understands. 00:14:26.610 --> 00:14:28.610 Even if one abandons this 00:14:28.610 --> 00:14:30.610 and uses a direct lie, 00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:32.610 it is not forbidden 00:14:32.610 --> 00:14:34.610 in this situation. 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.639 The scholars cited as evidence 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.639 for the permissibility of lying in this situation 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.730 the hadith 00:14:41.730 --> 00:14:43.730 from Umm Kulthum, 00:14:43.730 --> 00:14:45.730 may Allah be pleased with her, 00:14:45.730 --> 00:14:47.730 that she heard the Messenger of Allah, 00:14:47.730 --> 00:14:49.730 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:14:49.730 --> 00:14:51.759 "He is not a liar 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.759 who reconciles between people, 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.759 conveying good 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:57.759 or saying good." 00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.980 It is agreed upon. 00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:01.980 Muslim added in a narration: 00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.980 Umm Kulthum said, 00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:05.980 "I did not hear him 00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:07.980 grant a concession for anything 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:09.980 that people say, except in three: 00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:12.049 meaning war, 00:15:12.049 --> 00:15:14.049 reconciliation between people, 00:15:14.049 --> 00:15:16.049 and the speech of a man to 00:15:16.049 --> 00:15:18.049 his wife, and the speech of 00:15:18.049 --> 00:15:20.049 a woman to her husband." 00:15:20.049 --> 00:15:22.980 "He is not a liar," 00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:24.980 meaning he is not blameworthy in the Shari'ah. 00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:27.169 "Conveying," 00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:29.169 meaning reporting. 00:15:29.169 --> 00:15:32.129 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:15:32.129 --> 00:15:34.379 Whoever reconciles between people 00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:36.379 is not called a blameworthy liar. 00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:38.830 The blameworthy lie is 00:15:38.830 --> 00:15:40.830 that which results in 00:15:40.830 --> 00:15:43.250 harm. 00:15:43.250 --> 00:15:45.250 The permissibility of lying in the three 00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:47.250 matters mentioned in the hadith, 00:15:47.250 --> 00:15:49.250 because the resulting benefit 00:15:49.250 --> 00:15:51.889 is greater. 00:15:51.889 --> 00:15:53.889
