Night and Prays 7 00:00:22,219 --> 00:00:25,289 From 'Ubadah Ibn al-Samit 8 00:00:25,289 --> 00:00:29,370 from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said: 9 00:00:29,370 --> 00:00:33,130 "Whoever wakes up at night and says: 10 00:00:33,329 --> 00:00:37,450 'There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner, 11 00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:39,929 “All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah; unto Him belongeth Sovereignty and unto Him belongeth praise, and He is Able to do all things.” (64:1) 12 00:00:39,929 --> 00:00:43,130 and He is capable of all things. 13 00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:45,049 Praise be to Allah, 14 00:00:45,049 --> 00:00:46,810 and glory be to Allah, 15 00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:49,530 and there is no god but Allah, 16 00:00:49,530 --> 00:00:51,289 and Allah is the Greatest, 17 00:00:51,289 --> 00:00:55,079 and there is no power nor strength except by Allah.' 18 00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:56,759 Then he says: 19 00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:59,079 'O Allah, forgive me,' 20 00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:00,439 or he supplicates, 21 00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:02,380 his supplication will be answered. 22 00:01:02,539 --> 00:01:06,659 If he then performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted." 23 00:01:06,659 --> 00:01:10,010 Commentary on the hadith: 24 00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:12,109 "Wakes up" (ta'arra) 25 00:01:12,109 --> 00:01:14,989 means he becomes alert and awakens from his sleep. 26 00:01:14,989 --> 00:01:17,090 "His prayer will be accepted" 27 00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:21,489 means the attainment of reward for the correct performance of the act. 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,420 From the benefits of the hadith: 29 00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:27,579 It is understood from the hadith 30 00:01:27,579 --> 00:01:32,180 that whoever wakes from his sleep should occupy himself with the declaration of Allah's oneness (tawhid). 31 00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:34,939 If he supplicates to Allah, He will answer him. 32 00:01:34,939 --> 00:01:38,170 And if he prays, his prayer will be accepted. 33 00:01:38,170 --> 00:01:42,769 It contains an encouragement to begin with the remembrance of Allah, the Exalted, after waking. 34 00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:47,969 The hadith indicates the two types of supplication: the supplication of praise and the supplication of request. 35 00:01:47,969 --> 00:01:54,010 It is proper for praise to precede the request and the petition. 36 00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:56,450 From Abu Hurayrah, who said: 37 00:01:56,450 --> 00:02:00,450 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 38 00:02:00,450 --> 00:02:04,010 "Indeed, he does not speak obscenities." 39 00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:07,859 He meant by this 'Abdullah Ibn Rawahah. 40 00:02:07,859 --> 00:02:11,620 "Among us is the Messenger of Allah, reciting His Book, 41 00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:15,699 when the light of dawn breaks forth clearly. 42 00:02:15,699 --> 00:02:19,620 He showed us guidance after blindness, so our hearts 43 00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:23,740 are certain that what he said is reality. 44 00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:27,539 He spends the night keeping his side away from his bed, 45 00:02:27,539 --> 00:02:32,219 while the beds of the polytheists are heavy with sleep." 46 00:02:32,259 --> 00:02:35,659 Commentary on the hadith: 47 00:02:35,659 --> 00:02:38,939 "He does not speak obscenities" means 48 00:02:38,939 --> 00:02:44,159 he does not speak poetry that contains falsehood or lewdness. 49 00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:47,919 "When the light of dawn breaks forth clearly" 50 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,919 refers to his reciting the Book of Allah 51 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,699 at the time of the breaking of the bright dawn. 52 00:02:54,699 --> 00:02:58,370 "After blindness" means after misguidance. 53 00:02:58,370 --> 00:03:01,009 "So our hearts are certain of it" 54 00:03:01,009 --> 00:03:04,430 means they are filled with certainty regarding what he brought. 55 00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:07,430 "Keeping his side away" (yujafi) means he distances it. 56 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:11,419 "Beds" (madaji') means the places of sleep. 57 00:03:11,419 --> 00:03:15,289 From the benefits of the hadith: 58 00:03:15,289 --> 00:03:17,330 It is understood from the hadith 59 00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:21,650 the clarification of the virtue of 'Abdullah Ibn Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him. 60 00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:24,810 The hadith shows that obscenity in speech and action 61 00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:27,490 is not among the morals of a Muslim. 62 00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:30,770 It permits the recitation of good poetry. 63 00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:36,030 It clarifies the virtue of the night prayer (qiyam al-layl). 64 00:03:36,030 --> 00:03:39,069 From Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with both of them, 65 00:03:39,069 --> 00:03:43,310 that some men among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 66 00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:46,069 saw the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr) in a dream 67 00:03:46,069 --> 00:03:48,419 during the last seven nights. 68 00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:52,460 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 69 00:03:52,460 --> 00:03:57,139 "I see that your dreams have converged upon the last seven nights. 70 00:03:57,139 --> 00:03:59,620 So whoever is seeking it, 71 00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:03,669 let him seek it in the last seven nights." 72 00:04:03,669 --> 00:04:06,870 Commentary on the hadith: 73 00:04:06,870 --> 00:04:10,110 "Converged" (tawata'at) means they agreed. 74 00:04:10,110 --> 00:04:15,590 "Seeking it" (mutaharriha) means intending it and striving to find it. 75 00:04:15,590 --> 00:04:19,189 "In the last seven nights" means of Ramadan. 76 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:23,139 In another narration, "the last ten nights." 77 00:04:23,139 --> 00:04:26,680 From the benefits of the hadith: 78 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,759 It is understood from the hadith 79 00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:32,709 the legitimacy of relating a dream to a righteous person. 80 00:04:32,709 --> 00:04:36,470 The hadith shows the Prophet's interpretation 81 00:04:36,470 --> 00:04:38,509 of the dreams of his Companions. 82 00:04:38,509 --> 00:04:41,550 It clarifies the virtue of the Night of Decree. 83 00:04:41,550 --> 00:04:45,990 It encourages striving to seek the Night of Decree. 84 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:48,310 The hadith indicates that the Night of Decree 85 00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:54,649 occurs in the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. 86 00:04:54,649 --> 00:04:59,259 Chapter: What has been said regarding voluntary prayers being two units by two units 87 00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:03,579 From Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with both of them, who said: 88 00:05:03,579 --> 00:05:06,579 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 89 00:05:06,579 --> 00:05:10,259 used to teach us the prayer of seeking guidance (istikhara) in all matters, 90 00:05:10,259 --> 00:05:13,699 just as he taught us a surah from the Qur'an. 91 00:05:13,699 --> 00:05:15,100 He would say: 92 00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:17,699 "If one of you intends to do a matter, 93 00:05:17,699 --> 00:05:21,259 let him pray two units of prayer other than the obligatory ones. 94 00:05:21,259 --> 00:05:23,139 Then let him say: 95 00:05:23,139 --> 00:05:26,579 'O Allah, I seek Your guidance by Your knowledge, 96 00:05:26,579 --> 00:05:28,980 and I seek ability by Your power, 97 00:05:29,019 --> 00:05:31,980 and I ask You of Your great bounty. 98 00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:34,699 For You are able and I am not, 99 00:05:34,699 --> 00:05:37,060 and You know and I do not, 100 00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:39,819 and You are the Knower of the unseen. 101 00:05:39,819 --> 00:05:43,339 O Allah, if You know that this matter 102 00:05:43,339 --> 00:05:48,100 is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair,' 103 00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:49,500 or he said, 104 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:52,060 'my immediate and future affair, 105 00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,779 then decree it for me and make it easy for me. 106 00:05:54,779 --> 00:05:57,470 Then bless me in it. 107 00:05:57,470 --> 00:06:00,310 And if You know that this matter 108 00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:04,990 is evil for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair,' 109 00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:06,350 or he said, 110 00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:08,949 'in my immediate and future affair, 111 00:06:08,949 --> 00:06:12,029 then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, 112 00:06:12,029 --> 00:06:15,149 and decree for me the good wherever it may be, 113 00:06:15,149 --> 00:06:17,399 then make me satisfied with it.' 114 00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:18,399 He said: 115 00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:21,240 'And he should mention his need.'" 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,589 Commentary on the hadith: 117 00:06:24,589 --> 00:06:26,509 "Teaches us the istikhara" 118 00:06:26,509 --> 00:06:28,550 means the prayer of istikhara. 119 00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:29,509 "Khayrah" (goodness) 120 00:06:29,509 --> 00:06:31,589 is the seeking of the best of matters. 121 00:06:31,589 --> 00:06:33,269 "Khara Allah laka" 122 00:06:33,269 --> 00:06:36,589 means He gave you what is best for you. 123 00:06:36,589 --> 00:06:39,629 "Just as he taught us a surah from the Qur'an" 124 00:06:39,629 --> 00:06:43,139 indicates the great importance of the matter of istikhara. 125 00:06:43,139 --> 00:06:45,180 "If one of you intends" 126 00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:47,310 means if he desires. 127 00:06:47,310 --> 00:06:49,629 "And I seek ability by Your power" 128 00:06:49,629 --> 00:06:53,670 means I ask You to grant me the ability to perform it. 129 00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:56,870 "In my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair" 130 00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:59,949 or he said, "my immediate and future affair." 131 00:06:59,949 --> 00:07:04,009 When these four are gathered, it is complete goodness. 132 00:07:04,009 --> 00:07:05,410 "Then decree it for me" 133 00:07:05,410 --> 00:07:07,329 means write it for me. 134 00:07:07,329 --> 00:07:09,290 "Then bless me in it" 135 00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:10,689 comes from the word 'barakah' (blessing), 136 00:07:10,689 --> 00:07:13,769 meaning make it abundant and lasting. 137 00:07:13,769 --> 00:07:15,449 "Then turn it away from me" 138 00:07:15,449 --> 00:07:17,800 means avert it from me. 139 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,480 "Then make me satisfied with it." 140 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,220 Satisfaction (rida) is the tranquility of the soul regarding the decree and predestination of Allah. 141 00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:27,670 From the benefits of the hadith: 142 00:07:27,709 --> 00:07:29,709 It is understood from the hadith 143 00:07:29,709 --> 00:07:36,339 that what Allah, the Glorified and Exalted, has chosen for us is all goodness in religion and worldly life. 144 00:07:36,339 --> 00:07:40,660 It provides guidance to seek istikhara in all matters, 145 00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:43,139 both large and small. 146 00:07:43,139 --> 00:07:48,339 It shows that the istikhara supplication is not performed after an obligatory prayer. 147 00:07:48,339 --> 00:07:53,410 The hadith shows that the supplication in the istikhara prayer is fixed (tawqifi). 148 00:07:53,410 --> 00:07:58,129 The istikhara supplication includes complete humility and seeking help, 149 00:07:58,129 --> 00:08:00,689 and turning to the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, 150 00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:03,920 and disavowal of one's own power and strength. 151 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,639 The istikhara supplication contains both praise and request. 152 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:14,019 The hadith shows that it is incumbent upon the believer to refer all matters to Allah, the Exalted. 153 00:08:14,019 --> 00:08:15,339 A note: 154 00:08:15,339 --> 00:08:23,810 It has not been reported in any of the chains of the istikhara hadiths that specific verses must be recited in the two units. 155 00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:26,370 Chapter: Maintaining the Two Units of Fajr 156 00:08:26,370 --> 00:08:30,120 And those who call them voluntary prayers. 157 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,519 From 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 158 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:38,639 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was not 159 00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:43,289 more diligent in any voluntary prayer than he was in the two units of Fajr. 160 00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:46,580 Commentary on the hadith: 161 00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:48,899 "More diligent" (ashaddu ta'ahudan) 162 00:08:48,899 --> 00:08:51,019 'Ta'ahud' and 'ta'ahud' 163 00:08:51,019 --> 00:08:54,500 mean preserving a thing and being consistent with it. 164 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:58,379 The intended meaning here is intense perseverance. 165 00:08:58,379 --> 00:09:02,210 From the benefits of the hadith: 166 00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:04,129 It is understood from the hadith 167 00:09:04,129 --> 00:09:06,490 the emphasis on the two units of Fajr, 168 00:09:06,490 --> 00:09:09,289 and that they are among the most noble of voluntary prayers, 169 00:09:09,289 --> 00:09:17,490 due to his, peace be upon him, perseverance and consistency in performing them. 170 00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:21,320 Chapter: What is recited in the two units of Fajr 171 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,639 From 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 172 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,360 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 173 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,519 used to lighten the two units that precede the morning prayer, 174 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:33,759 to the point that I would say: 175 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:37,080 "Did he recite the Mother of the Book (al-Fatihah)?" 176 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,279 Commentary on the hadith: 177 00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:42,279 "Lighten the two units" 178 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:45,309 means he would lighten them while still performing them completely. 179 00:09:45,309 --> 00:09:47,590 "Did he recite the Mother of the Book?" 180 00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:51,350 means did he recite the Opening of the Book in them or not? 181 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:54,279 This is an exaggeration to emphasize the lightness. 182 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,840 From the benefits of the hadith: 183 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,000 The hadith is evidence for the exaggeration in lightening the voluntary prayer of Fajr. 184 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:09,850 It contains an indication of the obligation of reciting al-Fatihah in prayer. 185 00:10:09,850 --> 00:10:13,539 Chapter: The Duha Prayer while Traveling 186 00:10:13,539 --> 00:10:15,740 From Muwarriq, who said: 187 00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:18,899 I said to Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with both of them: 188 00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:20,940 "Do you pray the Duha prayer?" 189 00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:23,100 He said, "No." 190 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,779 I said, "What about 'Umar?" 191 00:10:24,779 --> 00:10:26,340 He said, "No." 192 00:10:26,379 --> 00:10:28,340 I said, "What about Abu Bakr?" 193 00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:29,940 He said, "No." 194 00:10:29,940 -->

the hadith: 197 00:10:40,629 --> 00:10:43,629 "I do not think so" (la ikhaluhu) means I do not suppose it. 198 00:10:43,629 --> 00:10:45,629 He denied it based on his supposition, 199 00:10:45,629 --> 00:10:49,070 despite the intensity of Ibn 'Umar's, may Allah be pleased with both of them, 200 00:10:49,070 --> 00:10:53,049 Regarding the guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 201 00:10:53,049 --> 00:10:56,610 From the benefits of the hadith: 202 00:10:56,610 --> 00:11:01,690 The hadith demonstrates Ibn 'Umar’s (may Allah be pleased with them both) adherence to the Sunnah of the two Sheikhs, 203 00:11:01,690 --> 00:11:05,250 Abu Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). 204 00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:09,409 It also shows the Companions' recognition of the high status of the two Sheikhs. 205 00:11:09,409 --> 00:11:16,019 The hadith indicates that supererogatory prayers are not emphasized while traveling. 206 00:11:16,019 --> 00:11:19,669 Chapter: The Duha (mid-morning) prayer while at home. 207 00:11:19,669 --> 00:11:23,149 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 208 00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:25,789 "My beloved [the Prophet] advised me to do three things, 209 00:11:25,789 --> 00:11:28,870 which I will not abandon until I die: 210 00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:32,470 to fast three days of every month, 211 00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:37,419 to

214 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,559 The *khalil* (beloved friend) is the sincere, intimate friend, 215 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,159 whose love has permeated the heart and settled within its depths, 216 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:52,269 meaning, within its innermost core. 217 00:11:52,269 --> 00:11:56,509 "I will not abandon them," meaning I will not leave them. 218 00:11:56,549 --> 00:12:00,059 From the benefits of the hadith: 219 00:12:00,059 --> 00:12:02,139 One may derive from the hadith 220 00:12:02,139 --> 00:12:05,179 the intensity of the love the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) had 221 00:12:05,179 --> 00:12:08,639 for the Prophet, peace be upon him. 222 00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:11,159 It also clarifies that fasting and prayer 223 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:16,190 are among the most noble of physical acts of worship. 224 00:12:16,190 --> 00:12:19,620 Chapter: The two rak'ahs before the Dhuhr prayer. 225 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:22,299 On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), 226 00:12:22,299 --> 00:12:25,019 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 227 00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:28,100 would never omit four rak'ahs before Dhuhr, 228 00:12:28,139 --> 00:12:31,509 and two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer. 229 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:34,889 Commentary on the hadith: 230 00:12:34,889 --> 00:12:38,409 "Would" (kana) implies continuity and consistency. 231 00:12:38,409 --> 00:12:41,279 "Never omit," meaning he would never leave them. 232 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:42,639 "Before the dawn prayer," 233 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:45,529 meaning before the Fajr prayer. 234 00:12:45,529 --> 00:12:49,220 From the benefits of the hadith: 235 00:12:49,220 --> 00:12:53,179 The hadith highlights the importance of the regular Sunnah prayers (al-sunan al-rawatib). 236 00:12:53,179 --> 00:12:58,460 It also shows that the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) persistence in performing some of them 237 00:12:58,460 --> 00:13:03,500 indicates the confirmed recommendation of doing so. 238 00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:06,860 Chapter: Prayer before the Maghrib prayer. 239 00:13:06,860 --> 00:13:08,899 On the authority of 'Abdullah al-Muzani, 240 00:13:08,899 --> 00:13:12,860

00:13:19,419 "For whoever wishes," 244 00:13:19,419 --> 00:13:24,159 out of dislike that people might take it as a binding Sunnah. 245 00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:27,379 Commentary on the hadith: 246 00:13:27,379 --> 00:13:30,740 "Out of dislike that people might take it as a Sunnah": 247 00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:31,860 A Sunnah, 248 00:13:31,899 --> 00:13:36,210 meaning a mandatory practice that

upon him) compassion 251 00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:47,480 and his making things easier for his Ummah. 252 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:54,340 It also indicates the recommendation of praying two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer. 253 00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:58,100 On the authority of Marthad ibn 'Abdullah al-Yazani, who said: 254 00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:02,299 "I came to 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir al-Juhani and said, 255 00:14:02,299 --> 00:14:05,139 'Shall I not amaze you with Abu Tamim? 256 00:14:05,139 --> 00:14:09,210 He prays two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer.' 257 00:14:09,210 --> 00:14:11,049 'Uqbah replied, 258 00:14:11,049 --> 00:14:17,269 'We used to do that during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.' 259 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:18,230 I asked, 260 00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:20,549 'Then what prevents you now?' 261 00:14:20,549 --> 00:14:21,669 He said, 262 00:14:21,669 --> 00:14:23,850 'Being busy.'" 263 00:14:23,850 --> 00:14:27,139 Commentary on the hadith: 264

Abu Tamim": 267 00:14:33,779 --> 00:14:37,649 He is 'Abdullah ibn Malik al-Jayshani. 268 00:14:37,649 --> 00:14:42,610 "We used to do that during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him": 269 00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:47,889 Meaning, we used to pray them during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 270 00:14:47,889 --> 00:14:50,009 "Then what prevents you now?": 271 00:14:50,009 --> 00:14:53,110 Meaning, from praying those two rak'ahs. 272 00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:56,500 From the benefits of the hadith: 273 00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,500 One may derive from the hadith 274 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:04,340 that the standard of guidance is the actions and statements of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 275 00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:06,139 and that the statement of a Companion, 276 00:15:06,139 --> 00:15:07,500 "We used to do so," 277 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:11,700 carries the status of a prophetic attribution (marfu'). 278 00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:16,820 Chapter: The virtue of prayer in the mosques of Makkah and Madinah. 279 00:15:16,820 --> 00:15:19,539 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), 280 00:15:19,539 --> 00:15:23,610 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 281 00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:28,490 "Do not undertake a journey except to three mosques: 282 00:15:28,490 --> 00:15:30,450 the Sacred Mosque (al-Masjid al-Haram), 283 00:15:30,450 --> 00:15:34,210 the Mosque of the Messenger, peace be upon him, 284 00:15:34,210 --> 00:15:37,179 and the Al-Aqsa Mosque." 285 00:15:37,179 --> 00:15:40,279 Commentary on the hadith: 286 00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:42,320 "Do not undertake a journey": 287 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,990 Meaning, it is not permissible to travel for the purpose of worship to any place other than those excepted. 288 00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:51,570 From the benefits of the hadith: 289 00:15:51,570 --> 00:15:53,529 One may derive from the hadith 290 00:15:53,529 --> 00:15:57,330 that there is a prohibition against traveling for worship to a specific location 291 00:15:57,330 --> 00:16:00,090 except to these three mosques. 292 00:16:00,090 --> 00:16:07,580 It also shows that the honor and virtue of places are established by textual evidence, not by opinion. 293 00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:10,299 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), 294 00:16:10,299 --> 00:16:14,299 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 295 00:16:14,299 --> 00:16:16,940 "A prayer in this mosque of mine 296 00:16:16,940 --> 00:16:20,500 is better than a thousand prayers elsewhere, 297 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:23,710 except for the Sacred Mosque." 298 00:16:23,710 --> 00:16:27,029 Commentary on the hadith: 299 00:16:27,029 --> 00:16:28,029 "A prayer": 300 00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:30,629 Meaning, both the supererogatory and the obligatory. 301 00:16:30,629 --> 00:16:32,789 "Better than a thousand prayers": 302 00:16:32,789 --> 00:16:36,000 Meaning, greater in reward and recompense. 303 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,509 From the benefits of the hadith: 304 00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:41,470 One may derive from the hadith 305 00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:47,379 that the virtue of times and places is a matter of divine decree (tawqifi) that cannot be grasped by opinion. 306 00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:54,850 It also indicates that prayer in the Sacred Mosque is absolutely superior. 307 00:16:54,850 --> 00:16:57,940 Chapter: The Quba Mosque. 308 00:16:57,940 --> 00:16:59,379 On the authority of Nafi', 309 00:16:59,379 --> 00:17:06,140 that Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with

and the day he came to the Quba Mosque, 315 00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:22,660 for he would visit it every Saturday, 316 00:17:22,660 --> 00:17:24,660 and when he entered the mosque, 317 00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:28,660 he disliked leaving it until he had prayed in it. 318 00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:29,779 He said, 319 00:17:29,779 --> 00:17:34,019 "And he used to report that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 320 00:17:34,019 --> 00:17:38,450 would visit it riding and walking." 321 00:17:38,450 --> 00:17:41,900 Commentary on the hadith: 322 00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:43,420 "Behind the Maqam": 323 00:17:43,420 --> 00:17:46,740 Meaning the Maqam of Ibrahim, peace be upon him. 324 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:49,059 "He comes to the Quba Mosque": 325 00:17:49,059 --> 00:17:50,740 The Quba Mosque is located 326 00:17:50,740 --> 00:17:53,380 south of the Prophet’s Mosque. 327 00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:55,619 "He used to come to it every Saturday": 328 00:17:55,619 --> 00:17:59,910 "Used to" (kana) implies continuity and consistency. 329 00:17:59,910 --> 00:18:03,779 From the benefits of the hadith: 330 00:18:03,779 --> 00:18:05,859 One may derive from the hadith 331 00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:08,660 that designating specific times for acts of worship 332 00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:10,980 is a matter of divine decree. 333 00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:18,069 Likewise, establishing the virtue of a place can only be done through textual evidence. 334 00:18:18,069 --> 00:18:22,529 Chapter: The virtue of what is between the grave and the pulpit. 335 00:18:22,529 --> 00:18:26,970 On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd al-Mazini (may Allah be pleased with him), 336 00:18:26,970 --> 00:18:31,369 that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 337 00:18:31,369 --> 00:18:36,869 "What is between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise." 338 00:18:36,869 --> 00:18:39,630 And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), 339 00:18:39,630 -->

00:18:52,579 and my pulpit is upon my Basin (Hawd)." 342 00:18:52,579 --> 00:18:55,779 Commentary on the hadith: 343 00:18:55,779 --> 00:18:59,339 Chapter: The virtue of what is between the grave and the pulpit. 344 00:18:59,339 --> 00:19:00,420 "The grave": 345 00:19:00,420 --> 00:19:03,859 Meaning the grave of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 346 00:19:03,859 --> 00:19:05,809 which is in his house. 347 00:19:05,849 --> 00:19:09,970 This contains an indication that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 348 00:19:09,970 --> 00:19:13,130 knew he would be buried in his house. 349 00:19:13,130 --> 00:19:14,809 The hadith with the wording, 350 00:19:14,809 --> 00:19:17,170 "What is between my grave and my pulpit," 351 00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:19,990 is not according to the criteria of Al-Bukhari. 352 00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:21,230 "A garden": 353 00:19:21,230 --> 00:19:22,390 The intended meaning is 354 00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:24,349 the blessed spot 355 00:19:24,349 --> 00:19:30,069 that lies between the house of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and his grave. 356 00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:32,430 "And my pulpit is upon my Basin": 357 00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:33,309 It has been said 358 00:19:33,309 --> 00:19:35,269 that this very pulpit 359 00:19:35,269 --> 00:19:39,210 Allah the Exalted will restore it at his Basin. 360 00:19:39,210 --> 00:19:42,869 From the benefits of the hadith: 361 00:19:42,869 --> 00:19:45,349 The hadith confirms the existence of the Basin. 362 00:19:45,349 --> 00:19:47,470 It also confirms the existence of Paradise, 363 00:19:47,470 --> 00:19:54,500 and that there is a pulpit for the Prophet, peace be upon him, within it. 364 00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:59,190 Chapter: What is forbidden of speech during prayer. 365 00:19:59,190 --> 00:20:02,589 On the authority of 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 366 00:20:02,589 --> 00:20:06,230 "We used to greet the Prophet, peace be upon him, 367 00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:10,069 while he was praying, and he would return the greeting to us. 368 00:20:10,069 --> 00:20:13,029 But when we returned from the Negus (Najashi), 369 00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:14,630 we greeted him, 370 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,950 and he did not return the greeting to us. 371 00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:18,230 So we said, 372 00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:19,950 'O Messenger of Allah, 373 00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:24,259 we used to greet you and you would return it to us.' 374 00:20:24,259 --> 00:20:25,420 He said, 375 00:20:25,420 --> 00:20:28,859 'Indeed, in prayer there is a preoccupation.'" 376 00:20:28,859 --> 00:20:32,119 Commentary on the hadith: 377 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,880 "And he would return it to us": 378 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,599 Meaning the greeting (salam). 379 00:20:35,599 --> 00:20:38,759 "When we returned from the Negus": 380 00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:42,789 Their return was from Abyssinia to Madinah. 381 00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:45,069 "Indeed, in prayer there is a preoccupation": 382 00:20:45,069 --> 00:20:46,309 The intended meaning is 383 00:20:46,309 --> 00:20:51,009 the heart’s preoccupation with turning toward Allah the Exalted. 384 00:20:51,009 --> 00:20:54,480 From the benefits of the hadith: 385 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,440 One may derive from the hadith 386 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,000 the permissibility of sequence in acts of worship. 387 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:05,710 The hadith also points to the virtue of spreading the greeting of peace. 388 00:21:05,710 --> 00:21:08,430 On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam, who said: 389 00:21:08,430 --> 00:21:14,710 "We used to speak during prayer in the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him; 390 00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:18,230 one of us would speak to his companion about his need, 391 00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:20,029 until it was revealed: 392 00:21:20,029 --> 00:21:23,750 “Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and stand up with devotion to Allah.” (2:238) 393 00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:26,950 So we were commanded to be silent." 394 00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:30,250 Commentary on the hadith: 395 00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:33,589 "One of us would speak to his companion about his need": 396 00:21:33,589 --> 00:21:36,789 Meaning, he would speak to the person next to him about what he wanted. 397 00:21:36,829 --> 00:21:40,579 "And stand before Allah in devout obedience": 398 00:21:40,579 --> 00:21:44,140 “Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and stand up with devotion to Allah.” (2:238) 399 00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:48,900 performing it at its proper time, with its conditions, pillars, and humility, 400 00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:52,579 And all that it entails of obligatory and recommended acts. 401 00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:54,900 By maintaining the prayers, 402 00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:58,420 one achieves the maintenance of all other acts of worship. 403 00:21:58,420 --> 00:22:01,700 It serves to forbid indecency and wrongdoing, 404 00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:05,619 especially if one completes it as commanded by His saying: 405 00:22:05,619 --> 00:22:09,980 ﴾And stand before Allah, devoutly obedient﴿, meaning humble. 406 00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:14,339 It contains the command to stand and be devout, and the prohibition of speaking. 407 00:22:14,339 --> 00:22:16,259 And the command to have humility. 408 00:22:16,259 --> 00:22:19,759 This is along with peace of mind and tranquility. 409 00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:23,390 From the benefits of the hadith: 410 00:22:23,390 --> 00:22:27,910 The hadith indicates the permissibility of abrogation in acts of worship. 411 00:22:27,910 --> 00:22:30,869 It contains the prohibition of speaking during prayer. 412 00:22:30,869 --> 00:22:35,230 Whoever speaks in prayer intentionally, their prayer is invalidated. 413 00:22:35,230 --> 00:22:38,630 It contains the obligation to maintain the prayers. 414 00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:42,869 The hadith contains the command to maintain the middle prayer. 415 00:22:42,869 --> 00:22:46,230 Scholars have mentioned many opinions regarding it. 416 00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:52,670 The most prominent is that the middle prayer is the Asr prayer. 417 00:22:52,670 --> 00:22:55,920 Chapter: Clapping for Women. 418 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,599 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 419 00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:02,559 from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said: 420 00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:04,759 "Tasbih (saying SubhanAllah) is for men, 421 00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:08,140 and clapping is for women." 422 00:23:08,140 --> 00:23:11,500 Commentary on the hadith: 423 00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:16,170 Tasbih means the praying person saying "SubhanAllah." 424 00:23:16,170 --> 00:23:20,730 Clapping is striking one hand against the other. 425 00:23:20,730 --> 00:23:24,259 From the benefits of the hadith: 426 00:23:24,259 --> 00:23:28,900 One learns from the hadith the possibility of the Imam making a mistake. 427 00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:33,859 It contains the legitimacy of alerting the Imam to what he intends in prayer. 428 00:23:33,859 --> 00:23:37,180 It shows that if the Imam makes a mistake in prayer, 429 00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:39,700 it is Sunnah for men to perform Tasbih, 430 00:23:39,740 --> 00:23:42,779 and it is Sunnah for women to clap. 431 00:23:42,779 --> 00:23:50,859 The hadith indicates that the state of the Muslim woman is based on modesty and concealment. 432 00:23:50,859 --> 00:23:55,599 Chapter: If a Mother Calls Her Son During Prayer. 433 00:23:55,599 --> 00:23:57,160 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, 434 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,200 from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said: 435 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,039 "None spoke in the cradle except for three: 436 00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:06,359 Isa (Jesus), 437 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,000 and there was a man among the Children of Israel called Jurayj. 438 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:12,799 He was praying, 439 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:15,359 when his mother came and called him. 440 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,359 He said, 'Should I answer her or continue my prayer?' 441 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,759 In one narration: 442 00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:22,920 She said, 'O Jurayj!' 443 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,420 He said, 'O Allah, my mother or my prayer?' 444 00:24:27,420 --> 00:24:33,900 So she said, 'O Allah, do not let him die until he sees the faces of harlots.' 445 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,700 Jurayj was in his hermitage. 446 00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:39,819 A woman propositioned him and spoke to him. 447 00:24:40,819 --> 00:24:42,460 In one narration: 448 00:24:42,460 --> 00:24:46,940 A shepherdess who tended sheep used to take shelter near his hermitage. 449 00:24:46,940 --> 00:24:48,670 She gave birth, 450 00:24:48,670 --> 00:24:52,630 and she went to a shepherd and allowed him to have his way with her. 451 00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:54,869 She gave birth to a boy. 452 00:24:54,869 --> 00:24:57,549 She said, 'It is from Jurayj.' 453 00:24:57,549 --> 00:24:58,710 They came to him, 454 00:24:58,710 --> 00:25:00,630 tore down his hermitage, 455 00:25:00,630 --> 00:25:03,029 brought him down, and insulted him. 456 00:25:03,029 --> 00:25:05,069 He performed ablution and prayed. 457 00:25:05,069 --> 00:25:06,950 Then he came to the boy 458 00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:08,309 and said, 459 00:25:08,349 --> 00:25:10,950 'Who is your father, O boy?' 460 00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:12,470 In one narration: 461 00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:15,509 'O little one, who is your father?' 462 00:25:15,509 --> 00:25:16,589 He said, 463 00:25:16,589 --> 00:25:18,509 'The shepherd.' 464 00:25:18,509 --> 00:25:19,670 They said, 465 00:25:19,670 --> 00:25:22,509 'We will rebuild your hermitage with gold.' 466 00:25:22,509 --> 00:25:23,630 He said, 467 00:25:23,630 --> 00:25:24,670 'No, 468 00:25:24,670 --> 00:25:27,500 only with mud.' 469 00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:32,460 There was a woman nursing her son among the Children of Israel. 470 00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:36,140 A man passed by her, riding and well-dressed. 471 00:25:36,140 --> 00:25:37,539 She said, 472 00:25:37,579 --> 00:25:40,549 'O Allah, make my son like him.' 473 00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:44,829 He left her breast, turned to the rider, and said, 474 00:25:44,829 --> 00:25:48,230 'O Allah, do not make me like him.' 475 00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:51,589 Then he returned to her breast and suckled. 476 00:25:51,589 --> 00:25:53,470 Abu Hurayrah said: 477 00:25:53,470 --> 00:25:59,380 'It is as if I am looking at the Prophet, peace be upon him, sucking his finger.' 478 00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:01,380 Then he passed by a woman, 479 00:26:01,380 --> 00:26:02,740 and she said, 480 00:26:02,740 --> 00:26:06,619 'O Allah, do not make my son like her.' 481 00:26:06,660 --> 00:26:09,380 He left her breast and said, 482 00:26:09,380 --> 00:26:12,710 'O Allah, make me like her.' 483 00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:13,829 She asked, 484 00:26:13,829 --> 00:26:15,420 'Why is that?' 485 00:26:15,420 --> 00:26:16,819 He said, 486 00:26:16,819 --> 00:26:20,460 'The rider is a tyrant among the tyrants, 487 00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:22,059 and this woman, 488 00:26:22,059 --> 00:26:24,940 they say, "You have stolen, you have committed adultery," 489 00:26:24,940 --> 00:26:26,930 yet she did not do it.' 490 00:26:26,930 --> 00:26:28,369 In one narration: 491 00:26:28,369 --> 00:26:31,779 'And she says, "Allah is sufficient for me."' 492 00:26:31,779 --> 00:26:35,150 Commentary on the hadith: 493 00:26:35,190 --> 00:26:39,190 The cradle is the bed of the nursing infant. 494 00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:40,589 Harlots, 495 00:26:40,589 --> 00:26:43,349 meaning prostitutes and immoral women. 496 00:26:43,349 --> 00:26:44,869 In his hermitage: 497 00:26:44,869 --> 00:26:47,549 The hermitage is a building with a pointed top, 498 00:26:47,549 --> 00:26:50,259 where monks worship. 499 00:26:50,259 --> 00:26:52,420 A woman propositioned him, 500 00:26:52,420 --> 00:26:55,660 saying, 'I will tempt Jurayj.' 501 00:26:55,660 --> 00:26:56,819 But he refused, 502 00:26:56,819 --> 00:26:59,539 meaning he refrained from the sin. 503 00:26:59,539 --> 00:27:01,740 She allowed him to have his way with her, 504 00:27:01,740 --> 00:27:03,799 meaning she

From the benefits of the hadith: 515 00:27:24,069 --> 00:27:26,150 One learns from the hadith: 516 00:27:26,150 --> 00:27:30,470 The permissibility of speaking in prayer in the laws of those before us. 517 00:27:30,470 --> 00:27:34,349 It contains the prohibition of adultery in all religious laws. 518 00:27:34,390 --> 00:27:38,869 The hadith shows that ablution existed in the laws of those before us. 519 00:27:38,869 --> 00:27:41,390 It contains the glorification of the rights of parents, 520 00:27:41,390 --> 00:27:44,470 and that the prayer of a parent is answered. 521 00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:48,269 The hadith confirms the miracles of the righteous. 522 00:27:48,269 --> 00:27:51,710 It shows that whoever takes refuge in Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, 523 00:27:51,710 --> 00:27:53,750 He will suffice him and honor him. 524 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:58,069 It shows that in important matters, one should turn to Allah the Exalted, 525 00:27:58,069 --> 00:28:01,430 by directing oneself to Him in prayer. 526 00:28:01,470 --> 00:28:07,710 It shows that miracles may occur through extraordinary events of all kinds. 527 00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:13,220 It clarifies that relief comes with strong certainty and sound hope. 528 00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:19,859 The hadith indicates that whoever adopts strictness in matters of worship is better, 529 00:28:19,859 --> 00:28:23,650 provided he knows he has the strength for it. 530 00:28:23,650 --> 00:28:27,569 The hadith shows that the law of those before us is a law for us, 531 00:28:27,569 --> 00:28:29,410 though there is a difference of opinion on this. 532 00:28:29,410 --> 00:28:32,890 It contains a warning against praying against one's children. 533 00:28:32,890 --> 00:28:39,319 It contains the permissibility of interrupting a voluntary prayer for a need. 534 00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:42,789 Chapter: Smoothing Pebbles During Prayer. 535 00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:44,470 On the authority of Mu'ayqib, 536 00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:47,230 that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 537 00:28:47,230 --> 00:28:51,190 said regarding a man who levels the earth where he prostrates: 538 00:28:51,190 --> 00:28:54,789 "If you must do it, then only once." 539 00:28:54,789 --> 00:28:58,079 Commentary on the hadith: 540 00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:01,920 He mentioned "the man" because it is the general case. 541 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,779 Otherwise, the ruling includes both men and women. 542 00:29:05,779 --> 00:29:07,380 Levels the earth, 543 00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:09,819 meaning he makes it level. 544 00:29:09,819 --> 00:29:13,900 Where he prostrates, meaning the place of his prostration. 545 00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:17,559 From the benefits of the hadith: 546 00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:19,440 One learns from the hadith: 547 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,910 That minor movement does not invalidate the prayer. 548 00:29:22,910 --> 00:29:25,349 The hadith provides guidance to the one praying, 549 00:29:25,349 --> 00:29:31,390 that his mind should not be occupied with something that distracts him from the prayer and the mercy facing him, 550 00:29:31,390 --> 00:29:33,269 lest he lose his share.
