00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.869
The Fortieth Hadith from the Jewels of the Jerusalemite Hadiths

00:00:09.869 --> 00:00:22.089
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ties al-Buraq to the ring of the prophets at al-Aqsa Mosque

00:00:22.289 --> 00:00:25.489
On the authority of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:00:25.489 --> 00:00:31.329
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said regarding al-Buraq in the hadith of the Night Journey (al-Isra'):

00:00:31.329 --> 00:00:35.009
"So I rode it until I arrived at Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem)."

00:00:35.009 --> 00:00:36.090
He said:

00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:40.600
"Then I tied it to the ring to which the prophets used to tie [their mounts]."

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:41.719
He said:

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:48.380
"Then I entered the mosque, prayed two rak'ahs therein, and came out."

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:52.079
Related by Muslim.

00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.240
Vocabulary of the hadith:

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.759
"The ring to which [the prophets] tied [their mounts]"

00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:02.799
Meaning: the ring at the gate of the mosque of Bayt al-Maqdis.

00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.599
Overall meaning:

00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:14.079
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Gabriel (peace be upon him) arrived at Bayt al-Maqdis on the Night of al-Isra',

00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.840
he tied al-Buraq to the ring at the gate of al-Aqsa Mosque,

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.120
just as the prophets before him used to tether their mounts to that very ring.

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.400
Then he (peace be upon him) entered it and prayed two rak'ahs therein.

00:01:33.189 --> 00:01:36.510
Tying al-Buraq to the ring of al-Aqsa Mosque

00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:42.260
reinforces and affirms its sacred heritage and historical authenticity.

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:49.420
Tying al-Buraq carries a profound significance, reflecting the importance of taking practical means toward reclaiming the sanctities,

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:53.219
and showing that doing so does not contradict relying upon Allah.

00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:56.739
It contains a clear indication and an explicit proof

00:01:56.739 --> 00:02:02.939
that the prophets used to journey to al-Aqsa Mosque and make pilgrimages to it.
