00:00:09,529 --> 00:00:10,849
presents:

5
00:00:10,849 --> 00:00:16,050
An Abridgment of Sahih al-Bukhari.

6
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:22,160
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,079
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) narrated to us—

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,359
and he is the truthful, the one believed—

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,439
"The creation of one of you is assembled in his mother's womb for forty days,

10
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:35,359
or forty nights;

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,039
then he becomes a clinging clot for a like period;

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,840
then he becomes a lump of flesh for a like period;

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,280
then the angel is sent to him

14
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:45,600
and is commanded regarding four matters:

15
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:48,960
to write down his provision, his lifespan, his deeds,

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,119
and whether he will be wretched or blessed.

17
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:53,799
Then the soul is breathed into him.

18
00:00:54,350 --> 00:00:57,750
By Allah, one of you may perform the deeds of the people of Paradise

19
00:00:58,070 --> 00:01:01,950
until there is nothing between him and it but an arm's length,

20
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:04,950
(and in another narration: 'or two arms' lengths'),

21
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:07,349
whereupon the decree overtakes him,

22
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:09,790
so he performs the deeds of the people of the Fire

23
00:01:09,989 --> 00:01:11,430
and enters it.

24
00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:15,069
And one of you may perform the deeds of the people of the Fire

25
00:01:15,430 --> 00:01:19,390
until there is nothing between him and it but an arm's length,

26
00:01:19,909 --> 00:01:20,870
(and in another narration:

27
00:01:21,269 --> 00:01:23,510
'except a fathom or an arm's length'),

28
00:01:23,829 --> 00:01:30,230
whereupon the decree overtakes him, so he performs the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it."

29
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:34,159
Commentary on the hadith:

30
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:38,560
"The truthful": meaning in his speech and in what is revealed to him.

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,560
"The one believed": meaning Allah Almighty confirmed him in His promise.

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:51,760
"Is assembled": meaning Allah, Mighty and Majestic, brings together the male fluid with the female fluid from which creation is formed,

33
00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:53,890
"for forty days"—

34
00:01:53,890 --> 00:01:57,090
these first forty days are for the drop of fluid (nutfah).

35
00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:00,890
"A clinging clot": meaning thick, congealed blood.

36
00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:04,420
"A like period": meaning forty days.

37
00:02:04,420 --> 00:02:09,409
"A lump of flesh": meaning a piece of flesh roughly the size of a morsel that could be chewed.

38
00:02:09,409 --> 00:02:12,409
"Is commanded": meaning he is instructed.

39
00:02:12,409 --> 00:02:17,409
"Then the soul is breathed into him": meaning after one hundred and twenty days.

40
00:02:17,409 --> 00:02:20,610
"But an arm's length": meaning the distance of an arm's length,

41
00:02:20,810 --> 00:02:23,469
and it signifies extreme proximity.

42
00:02:23,469 --> 00:02:29,650
"Whereupon the decree overtakes him": meaning that which was written for him prior to the creation of beings.

43
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:33,409
Key benefits of the hadith:

44
00:02:33,409 --> 00:02:36,210
The hadith is among the signs of prophethood,

45
00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:42,009
for the Prophet (peace be upon him) informed of the stages of embryonic development.

46
00:02:42,009 --> 00:02:47,009
It also shows that whoever recognizes Allah's power over the initial creation

47
00:02:47,009 --> 00:02:52,069
will believe in the Resurrection, the Gathering, the Assembly, the Reckoning, and the Recompense.

48
00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:57,469
It indicates the obligation of believing that for every soul brought into existence until the Day of Resurrection,

49
00:02:57,469 --> 00:03:01,870
its provision and lifespan have already been determined in the knowledge of Allah,

50
00:03:01,870 --> 00:03:04,669
as well as its ultimate felicity or wretchedness.

51
00:03:04,669 --> 00:03:08,469
It shows that a person should never rely solely upon their deeds,

52
00:03:08,469 --> 00:03:11,069
nor depend entirely upon their worship,

53
00:03:11,069 --> 00:03:15,270
for hearts and all affairs are in the Hand of the Most Merciful, Mighty and Majestic.

54
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:21,659
It contains a warning against despairing of the mercy of Allah Almighty.

55
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:23,259
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah,

56
00:03:23,259 --> 00:03:27,060
from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said:

57
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:29,259
"When Allah loves a servant,

58
00:03:29,259 --> 00:03:31,259
He calls Gabriel:

59
00:03:31,259 --> 00:03:34,860
'Indeed, Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.'

60
00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:37,460
Thereupon, Gabriel loves him.

61
00:03:37,460 --> 00:03:40,460
Gabriel then calls out to the inhabitants of heaven:

62
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:44,460
'Indeed, Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.'

63
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:47,060
So the inhabitants of heaven love him,

64
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:51,349
and acceptance is then established for him on earth."

65
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:55,729
This means among the majority of the believers who know him,

66
00:03:55,729 --> 00:03:58,330
and his good mention endures.

67
00:03:58,330 --> 00:03:59,729
And it has been said:

68
00:03:59,729 --> 00:04:02,330
that Allah casts love for him into the hearts of its inhabitants,

69
00:04:02,330 --> 00:04:04,930
so that they praise and extol him.

70
00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:07,930
Key benefits of the hadith:

71
00:04:07,930 --> 00:04:10,129
It is derived from this hadith

72
00:04:10,129 --> 00:04:13,819
that love and hatred originate from Him, the Exalted.

73
00:04:13,819 --> 00:04:17,779
It affirms the divine attributes of love and hatred,

74
00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:20,180
and emphasizes the reality of divine love and displeasure.

75
00:04:20,379 --> 00:04:25,379
On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him),

76
00:04:25,379 --> 00:04:32,199
that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say:

77
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:35,199
"The angels descend into the clouds ('anan),

78
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,199
which refers to the clouds,"

79
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:38,199
(in another narration:

80
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:40,199
"they converse,

81
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:43,199
mentioning a matter that was decreed in heaven;

82
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,199
in another narration:

83
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:47,199
'concerning the matter decreed,'

84
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:49,199
in another narration:

85
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,230
in another narration:

86
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:54,189
'concerning a matter that shall come to pass on earth'),

87
00:04:54,189 --> 00:04:56,389
"and the devils eavesdrop,

88
00:04:56,389 --> 00:04:57,790
hear it,

89
00:04:57,790 --> 00:05:00,589
and convey it to the soothsayers;"

90
00:05:00,589 --> 00:05:01,990
(in another narration:

91
00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:04,189
"and pour it into the soothsayer's ear

92
00:05:04,189 --> 00:05:06,889
just as liquid is poured into a flask),

93
00:05:06,889 --> 00:05:09,689
"and they mix with it a hundred lies

94
00:05:09,689 --> 00:05:12,660
of their own making."

95
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:15,939
Commentary on the hadith:

96
00:05:15,939 --> 00:05:17,139
"Al-'Anan":

97
00:05:17,139 --> 00:05:18,740

"Mentioning the matter":

99
00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:24,740
meaning the angels speak of the matter that has been decreed in heaven,

100
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:26,980
whether regarding its existence or nonexistence.

101
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:29,579
"And the devils eavesdrop":

102
00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:32,779
meaning they listen secretly, like a thief.

103
00:05:32,779 --> 00:05:33,980
"And convey it":

104
00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:36,839
meaning they deliver and communicate it

105
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,439
"to the soothsayers":

106
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:42,839
who are those that give foreknowledge of what will happen in the future

107
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,870
and claim knowledge of the unseen.

108
00:05:45,870 --> 00:05:47,269
"And pour it":

109
00:05:47,269 --> 00:05:49,560
meaning they cast it.

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,259
Key benefits of the hadith:

111
00:05:53,259 --> 00:05:55,259
It is derived from the hadith

112
00:05:55,259 --> 00:05:58,060
that going to soothsayers is strictly prohibited.

113
00:05:58,060 --> 00:06:02,459
It affirms that none knows the unseen except Allah, Mighty and Majestic.

114
00:06:02,459 --> 00:06:08,300
The hadith also points to the prohibition of lying.

115
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,100
On the authority of al-Bara' Ibn 'Azib, who said:

116
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,100
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said

117
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:17,300
on the day of the siege of Banu Qurayzah to Hassan Ibn Thabit:

118
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:19,500
"Satirize the polytheists;"

119
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:20,899
(in another narration:

120
00:06:20,899 --> 00:06:22,300
"Lampoon them,"

121
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:23,699
or he said:

122
00:06:23,699 --> 00:06:25,300
"Engage them in satirical verse),

123
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:28,500
for Gabriel is with you."

124
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,870
Commentary on the hadith:

125
00:06:31,870 --> 00:06:33,069
"Satirize":

126
00:06:33,069 --> 00:06:35,870
satire is the opposite of praise.

127
00:06:35,870 --> 00:06:37,870
"For Gabriel is with you":

128
00:06:37,870 --> 00:06:40,759
meaning as a supporter and aider.

129
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:44,199

It is derived from the hadith

131
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:49,000
that lampooning the disbelievers is permissible.

132
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,399
It establishes the permissibility of utilizing poetry in that which serves the common interest.

133
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:56,199
It shows that poetry: that which is good in it is good,

134
00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:00,480
and that which is bad in it is bad.

135
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,279
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

136
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,079
"It is as though I am looking at the dust billowing in the alley of Banu Ghanm,

137
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:12,279
raised by the procession of Gabriel (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

138
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:15,680
when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) marched

139
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,750
against Banu Qurayzah."

meaning rising high.

143
00:07:26,370 --> 00:07:27,569
"Alley" (zuqaq):

144
00:07:27,569 --> 00:07:30,769
a zuqaq is a lane between houses.

145
00:07:30,769 --> 00:07:32,170
"Banu Ghanm":

146
00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:34,170
a clan of the Khazraj,

147
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:38,170
among whom was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him).

150
00:07:43,970 --> 00:07:46,720
though other meanings have also been stated.

151
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,379
Key benefits of the hadith:

152
00:07:50,379 --> 00:07:52,579
It is derived from the hadith

153
00:07:52,579 --> 00:07:57,180
that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) saw the physical traces of the angels.

154
00:07:57,180 --> 00:08:00,379
It mentions the angels setting out toward Banu Qurayzah

155
00:08:00,379 --> 00:08:06,000
to support the Prophet (peace be upon him).

156
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,399
On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

157
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:13,600
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said one day:

158
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,000
"O 'A'ish!

159
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,199
This is Gabriel greeting you with peace."

160
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:19,399
She said: "I replied:

161
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:23,199
'And upon him be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.'

162
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:25,199
You see what I do not see,"

163
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:29,899
referring to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

164
00:08:29,899 --> 00:08:33,350
Commentary on the hadith:

165
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:34,750
"O 'A'ish":

166
00:08:34,750 --> 00:08:38,580
a pet-form truncation (tarkhim) of the name of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

167
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:41,899
"Greeting you with peace": meaning conveying peace to you.

168
00:08:41,899 --> 00:08:45,500
Key benefits of the hadith:

169
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:47,500
It is derived from the hadith

170
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:50,500
that shortening names affectionately is permissible.

171
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:55,100
It shows that the best and most complete way to return the greeting of peace is to say:

172
00:08:55,100 --> 00:09:00,799
"And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings."

173
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,799
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both),

174
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,799
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

175
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:09,200
"O Gabriel,

176
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,799
what prevents you from visiting us more often than you do?"

177
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:15,200
Whereupon there was revealed:

178
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,399
“We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -” (19:64)

179
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,200
“We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -” (19:64)

180
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,429
to the end of the verse.

181
00:09:24,429 --> 00:09:25,429
He said:

182
00:09:25,429 --> 00:09:31,039
"This was the reply given to Muhammad (peace be upon him)."

183
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:34,289
Commentary on the hadith:

184
00:09:34,289 --> 00:09:37,490
“We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -” (19:64)

185
00:09:37,490 --> 00:09:40,090
meaning: we have no say in the matter whatsoever;

186
00:09:40,090 --> 00:09:42,889
when we are commanded, we hasten to carry out His command,

187
00:09:42,889 --> 00:09:45,620
and we never disobey any instruction of His.

188
00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:48,820
“We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -” (19:64)

189
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:53,019
meaning: to Him belong all past, future, and present affairs,

190
00:09:53,019 --> 00:09:56,029
across both time and space.

191
00:09:56,029 --> 00:09:59,730
Key benefits of the hadith:

192
00:09:59,730 --> 00:10:01,730
It is derived from the hadith

193
00:10:01,730 --> 00:10:04,929
that the angels are servants acting under divine command.

194
00:10:04,929 --> 00:10:09,730
The hadith also demonstrates the love of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

195
00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:14,100
for Gabriel (peace be upon him).

196
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:17,899
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both),

197
00:10:17,899 --> 00:10:22,100
that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

198
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:24,700
"Gabriel recited the Qur'an to me in one style of recitation (harf),

199
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:26,299
and I petitioned him,

200
00:10:26,299 --> 00:10:29,299
continuing to ask him for more, and he gave me more,

201
00:10:29,299 --> 00:10:33,350
until he reached seven distinct modes (ahruf)."

202
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:36,570
Commentary on the hadith:

203
00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:37,970
"upon one mode (harf)" —

204
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:39,769
it is said: in one dialect,

205
00:10:39,769 --> 00:10:41,769
and it is said: "harf" means

206
00:10:41,769 --> 00:10:43,169
grammatical inflection,

207
00:10:43,169 --> 00:10:45,570
and other explanations have also been given.

208
00:10:45,570 --> 00:10:46,970
"I asked him for an increase,"

209
00:10:46,970 --> 00:10:50,769
meaning: I asked him to grant more than one single mode.

210
00:10:50,769 --> 00:10:51,970
"It ended,"

211
00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:53,659
meaning: it reached that final number.

212
00:10:53,659 --> 00:10:57,389
Among the benefits of the hadith:

213
00:10:57,389 --> 00:10:59,389
It is derived from the hadith

214
00:10:59,389 --> 00:11:04,990
that the reciter is guided to recite the Qur'an according to what is easy without undue strain.

215
00:11:04,990 --> 00:11:11,799
The hadith also indicates the noble status of the Qur'an and the multiplicity of its aspects.

216
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:15,000
Chapter: When one of you says "Amin"

217
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,200
and the angels in heaven say "Amin,"

218
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,799
and the one coincides with the other,

219
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:24,970
his past sins will be forgiven.

220
00:11:24,970 --> 00:11:28,570
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said:

221
00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:31,169
I heard Abu Talhah saying:

222
00:11:31,169 --> 00:11:35,769
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:

223
00:11:35,769 --> 00:11:42,250
"Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image (effigies)."

224
00:11:42,250 --> 00:11:45,559
Commentary on the hadith:

225
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,159
"Angels,"

226
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:48,960
meaning: other than the guardian angels,

227
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,159
and what is meant are

228
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:55,179
those who roam bringing mercy, blessings, and seeking forgiveness.

229
00:11:55,179 --> 00:11:58,720
Among the benefits of the hadith:

230
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
It is derived from the hadith

231
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,519
that keeping dogs and images is prohibited,

232
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:06,720
except what is exempted by textual evidence.

233
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,539
The hadith also points to the prohibition of image-making.

234
00:12:12,539 --> 00:12:14,539
On the authority of Busr ibn Sa'id,

235
00:12:14,539 --> 00:12:19,139
that Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to him,

236
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:23,139
and with Busr ibn Sa'id was 'Ubaydullah al-Khawlani,

237
00:12:23,139 --> 00:12:26,940
who was under the care of Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her),

238
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:30,340
the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

239
00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:32,940
Zayd ibn Khalid narrated to both of them

240
00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:35,340
that Abu Talhah narrated to him

241
00:12:35,340 --> 00:12:39,340
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

242
00:12:39,340 --> 00:12:43,379
"Angels do not enter a house in which there is an image."

243
00:12:43,379 --> 00:12:44,980
Busr said:

244
00:12:44,980 --> 00:12:47,179
Then Zayd ibn Khalid fell ill,

245
00:12:47,179 --> 00:12:48,580
so we visited him,

246
00:12:48,580 --> 00:12:52,980
and unexpectedly we found a curtain bearing images in his house.

247
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:55,980
So I said to 'Ubaydullah al-Khawlani:

248
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:58,980
"Did he not narrate to us concerning images?"

249
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:00,179
He replied:

250
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:01,779
"Indeed, he stated:

251
00:13:01,779 --> 00:13:04,379
'except an inscription on a garment.'

252
00:13:04,379 --> 00:13:06,179
Did you not hear him?"

253
00:13:06,179 --> 00:13:07,779
I said: "No."

254
00:13:07,779 --> 00:13:11,289
He said: "Yes, indeed, he mentioned it."

255
00:13:11,289 --> 00:13:14,570
Commentary on the hadith:

256
00:13:14,570 --> 00:13:15,769
"So we visited him" ('udnahu):

257
00:13:15,769 --> 00:13:18,769
'Iyadah refers to visiting the sick.

258
00:13:18,769 --> 00:13:19,970
"Raqm" (inscription):

259
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:23,350
Raqm refers to embroidery, patterns, and markings.

260
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:27,019
Among the benefits of the hadith:

261
00:13:27,019 --> 00:13:29,019
It is derived from the hadith

262
00:13:29,019 --> 00:13:33,220
that keeping images is prohibited except what the text has exempted.

263
00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:38,820
The hadith also indicates that legal rulings are not deduced from a single hadith alone;

264
00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:42,220
rather, all the hadiths of a subject must be gathered,

265
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:46,990
and then the rulings are formulated upon them.

266
00:13:46,990 --> 00:13:48,990
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar who said:

267
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:53,190
Jibril made an appointment to meet the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

268
00:13:53,190 --> 00:13:54,789
but he delayed in coming,

269
00:13:54,789 --> 00:13:59,190
until this weighed heavily upon the Prophet (peace be upon him).

270
00:13:59,190 --> 00:14:03,590
So the Prophet (peace be upon him) went out and met him,

271
00:14:03,590 --> 00:14:06,389
and he expressed to him what he felt.

272
00:14:06,389 --> 00:14:07,990
Thereupon, he said to him:

273
00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:13,429
"We do not enter a house in which there is an image or a dog."

274
00:14:13,429 --> 00:14:16,549
Commentary on the hadith:

275
00:14:16,549 --> 00:14:18,149
"He delayed in coming" (ratha 'alayh),

276
00:14:18,149 --> 00:14:21,350
meaning: he was slow and was late for the appointment,

277
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:22,750
"until it weighed heavily,"

278
00:14:22,750 --> 00:14:25,950
meaning: his delay felt burdensome and distressing to him.

279
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:29,350
"So the Prophet (peace be upon him) went out,"

280
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:31,350
meaning: out of the house.

281
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:32,549
"What he felt,"

282
00:14:32,549 --> 00:14:36,210
meaning: the distress he experienced from the wait.

283
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:39,779
Among the benefits of the hadith:

284
00:14:39,779 --> 00:14:41,980
It is derived from the hadith

285
00:14:41,980 --> 00:14:45,779
an illustration of the Prophet's profound love

286
00:14:45,779 --> 00:14:48,179
for Jibril (peace be upon him).

287
00:14:48,179 --> 00:14:51,379
It also contains the prohibition of keeping dogs and images,

288
00:14:51,379 --> 00:14:55,730
except what the text has exempted.

289
00:14:55,730 --> 00:14:57,730
On the authority of Safwan ibn Ya'la,

290
00:14:57,730 --> 00:14:59,529
on the authority of his father who said:

291
00:14:59,529 --> 00:15:02,330
I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

292
00:15:02,330 --> 00:15:04,529
reciting from the pulpit:

293
00:15:04,529 --> 00:15:09,309
"And they will call out: 'O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!'"

294
00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:12,620
Commentary on the hadith:

295
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:14,019
"And they will call out,"

296
00:15:14,019 --> 00:15:15,620
meaning: while they are in the Fire,

297
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:18,690
hoping that they might find some respite:

298
00:15:18,690 --> 00:15:21,889
"'O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!'"

299
00:15:21,889 --> 00:15:24,090
meaning: let Him cause us to die so that we may find rest,

300
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:27,889
for we are in severe grief and dreadful torment,

301
00:15:27,889 --> 00:15:31,309
having neither patience nor endurance to bear it.

302
00:15:31,309 --> 00:15:34,850
Among the benefits of the hadith:

303
00:15:34,850 --> 00:15:37,049
It is derived from the hadith

304
00:15:37,049 --> 00:15:39,049
that the name of the keeper of Hellfire is

305
00:15:39,049 --> 00:15:40,450
Malik.

306
00:15:40,450 --> 00:15:43,649
It also establishes the eternal damnation of the people of disbelief in the Fire.

307
00:15:43,649 --> 00:15:49,419
It also shows that the Fire is currently in existence and created.

308
00:15:49,419 --> 00:15:54,820
On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

309
00:15:54,820 --> 00:15:59,019
that she asked the Prophet (peace be upon him):

310
00:15:59,019 --> 00:16:04,019
"Did you ever experience a day harder upon you than the Day of Uhud?"

311
00:16:04,019 --> 00:16:05,220
He replied:

312
00:16:05,220 --> 00:16:08,620
"I have suffered from your people what I have suffered,

313
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:12,820
and the hardest of what I suffered from them was on the Day of al-'Aqabah,

314
00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:17,620
when I presented myself to Ibn 'Abd Yalil ibn 'Abd Kulal,

315
00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:20,620
and he did not respond to me as I wished.

316
00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:24,019
So I departed, overwhelmed with grief, wandering aimlessly,

317
00:16:24,019 --> 00:16:28,220
and I did not recover my senses until I found myself at Qarn al-Tha'alib.

318
00:16:28,419 --> 00:16:30,220
I raised my head,

319
00:16:30,220 --> 00:16:34,220
and behold, a cloud was overshadowing me.

320
00:16:34,220 --> 00:16:35,419
I looked,

321
00:16:35,419 --> 00:16:37,820
and there was Jibril in it!

322
00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:40,220
He called out to me and said:

323
00:16:40,220 --> 00:16:43,620
'Allah has heard the words of your people to you,

324
00:16:43,620 --> 00:16:45,620
and how they responded to you,

325
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:51,289
and He has sent to you the Angel of the Mountains for you to command him whatever you wish concerning them.'

326
00:16:51,289 --> 00:16:55,090
The Angel of the Mountains then called out to me and greeted me with salam,

327
00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:56,690
and said:

328
00:16:56,690 --> 00:16:58,289
'O Muhammad!'

329
00:16:58,289 --> 00:16:59,490
Then he said:

330
00:16:59,490 --> 00:17:01,690
'It is as you wish;

331
00:17:01,690 --> 00:17:05,490
if you wish, I will bring together the two mountains upon them.'

332
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:09,089
But the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

333
00:17:09,089 --> 00:17:12,289
'Rather, I hope that Allah will bring forth from their loins

334
00:17:12,289 --> 00:17:14,490
those who will worship Allah alone,

335
00:17:14,490 --> 00:17:17,900
associating nothing with Him.'"

336
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:21,470
Commentary on the hadith:

337
00:17:21,470 --> 00:17:23,069
"The Day of al-'Aqabah":

338
00:17:23,069 --> 00:17:26,269
it is the place to which Jamrat al-'Aqabah is attributed,

339
00:17:26,269 --> 00:17:27,869
and it is situated in Mina;

340
00:17:27,869 --> 00:17:30,069
that took place in Shawwal

341
00:17:30,069 --> 00:17:33,099
in the tenth year of the Prophethood.

342
00:17:33,099 --> 00:17:34,900
"Ibn 'Abd Yalil":

343
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:38,500
he was among the notable leaders of the people of Ta'if from the Thaqif tribe.

344
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:39,700
"Grief-stricken" (mahmum),

345
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:41,900
meaning: sorrowful and distressed.

346
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:43,299
"Wandering aimlessly" ('ala wajhi),

347
00:17:43,299 --> 00:17:46,299
meaning: heading straight ahead in the direction facing me.

348
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:47,900
"I did not recover my senses,"

349
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:50,500
meaning: I did not become aware of my state,

350
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,900
nor did I know where I was.

351
00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:54,700
"At Qarn al-Tha'alib":

352
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:57,099
it is a location near Mecca;

353
00:17:57,099 --> 00:17:59,099
it is said to be Qarn al-Manazil,

354
00:17:59,099 --> 00:18:01,299
the miqat for the people of Najd.

355
00:18:01,299 --> 00:18:03,299
"That I bring together upon them,"

356
00:18:03,299 --> 00:18:05,900
meaning: that the two mountains close in over whoever is in Mecca,

357
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:09,500
so that they become like a single covering over them.

358
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,099
"The two mountains" (al-Akhshaban):

359
00:18:11,099 --> 00:18:14,299
they are two opposing mountains in Mecca:

360
00:18:14,299 --> 00:18:15,700
Abu Qubays

361
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:17,299
and Qu'ayqi'an;

362
00:18:17,299 --> 00:18:19,500
and other views have also been stated.

363
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:21,099
"From their loins,"

364
00:18:21,099 --> 00:18:24,119
meaning: from their descendants.

365
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,750
Among the benefits of the hadith:

366
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:29,750
It is derived from the hadith

367
00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:32,549
a demonstration of the profound compassion and mercy of the Prophet

368
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:34,349
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

369
00:18:34,349 --> 00:18:36,150
toward all people,

370
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:39,349
and his keen desire for the guidance of humanity.

371
00:18:39,349 --> 00:18:41,549
It also shows that the mountains have an angel

372
00:18:41,549 --> 00:18:43,549
whose charge is entrusted to him.

373
00:18:43,549 --> 00:18:45,150
It also illustrates the merit of patience

374
00:18:45,150 --> 00:18:46,750
and seeking Allah's reward in calling

375
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:51,730
to the oneness of Allah (Tawhid), Mighty and Majestic.

376
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:54,130
On the authority of al-Shaybani who said:

377
00:18:54,130 --> 00:18:55,529
I asked Zirr

378
00:18:55,529 --> 00:18:57,730
about the saying of Allah, Exalted is He:

379
00:18:57,730 --> 00:19:00,930
“Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,” (53:9)

380
00:19:00,930 --> 00:19:04,559
“And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.” (53:10)

381
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:05,559
He said:

382
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:07,559
'Abdullah informed us

383
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:10,359
that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

384
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,759
saw Jibril

385
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:15,099
having six hundred wings.

386
00:19:15,099 --> 00:19:18,380
Commentary on the hadith:

387
00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:19,779
"And was" [Qur'an 53:9],

388
00:19:19,779 --> 00:19:21,779
meaning: in his closeness to him,

389
00:19:21,779 --> 00:19:23,380
"at a distance of two bow lengths,"

390
00:19:23,380 --> 00:19:25,380
meaning: the span of two bows,

391
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:26,579
"or nearer,"

392
00:19:26,579 --> 00:19:29,180
meaning: even closer than two bow lengths.

393
00:19:29,180 --> 00:19:30,380
"So He revealed,"

394
00:19:30,380 --> 00:19:34,579
meaning: Allah revealed through Jibril (peace be upon him)

395
00:19:34,579 --> 00:19:35,779
"to His servant,"

396
00:19:35,779 --> 00:19:39,380
meaning: Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

397
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:40,779
"what He revealed,"

398
00:19:40,779 --> 00:19:43,890
meaning: of the magnificent Sacred Law.

399
00:19:43,890 --> 00:19:47,619
Among the benefits of the hadith:

400
00:19:47,619 --> 00:19:49,619
It is derived from the hadith

401
00:19:49,619 --> 00:19:52,220
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw

402
00:19:52,220 --> 00:19:54,420
Jibril (peace be upon him)

403
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:57,619
in the form in which he was created.

404
00:19:57,619 --> 00:20:00,420
This also indicates that Gabriel’s (peace be upon him) mission

405
00:20:00,420 --> 00:20:05,390
was to convey the revelation directly, without any intermediary.

406
00:20:05,390 --> 00:20:08,190
On the authority of 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him),

407
00:20:08,190 --> 00:20:11,789
“Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.” (53:18)

408
00:20:11,789 --> 00:20:12,789
who said:

409
00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:14,990
"He saw a green cushion

410
00:20:14,990 --> 00:20:18,099
that blocked the horizon of the sky."

411
00:20:18,099 --> 00:20:21,420
Commentary on the Hadith:

412
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:24,619
“Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.” (53:18)

413
00:20:24,619 --> 00:20:26,819
Meaning, of Paradise and Hellfire,

414
00:20:26,819 --> 00:20:29,420
among other matters that he saw,

415
00:20:29,420 --> 00:20:31,220
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

416
00:20:31,220 --> 00:20:33,250
on the Night of the Heavenly Ascent.

417
00:20:33,250 --> 00:20:34,650
"A cushion" (rafraf):

418
00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:36,250
It was said to mean a carpet,

419
00:20:36,250 --> 00:20:37,849
and it was said to mean a garment,

420
00:20:37,849 --> 00:20:40,049
and other things were also suggested.

421
00:20:40,049 --> 00:20:43,160
"Blocked", meaning it filled it entirely.

422
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,960
Key Takeaways from the Hadith:

423
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,960
Among the benefits derived from the hadith is

424
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,559
the confirmation of the Ascension (Mi'raj) and the witnessing of the great signs

425
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,359
during that miraculous journey.

426
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:59,339
It also illustrates the immense majesty of Gabriel's creation, peace be upon him.

427
00:20:59,339 --> 00:21:01,740
On the authority of Masruq, who said:

428
00:21:01,940 --> 00:21:04,940
I said to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her):

429
00:21:04,940 --> 00:21:06,539
"O mother,

430
00:21:06,539 --> 00:21:10,940
did Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) see his Lord?"

431
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:12,339
She replied:

432
00:21:12,339 --> 00:21:15,769
"My hair stands on end at what you have just said!

433
00:21:15,769 --> 00:21:17,569
Where do you stand regarding three things?

434
00:21:17,569 --> 00:21:20,769
Whoever tells them to you has lied:

435
00:21:20,769 --> 00:21:25,569
Whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw his Lord

436
00:21:25,569 --> 00:21:27,369
has lied."

437
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:28,569
In another narration:

438
00:21:28,569 --> 00:21:30,369
"has uttered a monstrous fabrication."

439
00:21:30,369 --> 00:21:31,970
She then recited:

440
00:21:31,970 --> 00:21:35,970
“Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtile, the Aware.” (6:103)

441
00:21:35,970 --> 00:21:38,569
"and He is the Subtle, the All-Aware."

442
00:21:38,569 --> 00:21:41,769
“And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.” (42:51)

443
00:21:41,769 --> 00:21:46,099
“And it was not (vouchsafed) to any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil, or (that) He sendeth a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted, Wise.” (42:51)

444
00:21:46,099 --> 00:21:49,299
"And whoever tells you that he knows what will happen tomorrow

445
00:21:49,299 --> 00:21:50,900
has lied."

446
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:52,500
She then recited:

447
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:56,930
“Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendeth down the rain, and knoweth that which is in the wombs. No soul knoweth what it will earn to-morrow, and no soul knoweth in what land it will die. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (31:34)

448
00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:58,329
In another narration:

449
00:21:58,329 --> 00:22:00,329
"that he knows the unseen,

450
00:22:00,329 --> 00:22:01,730
has lied,

451
00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:03,130
while Allah says:

452
00:22:03,130 --> 00:22:06,190
'None knows the unseen except Allah.'"

453
00:22:06,190 --> 00:22:08,990
"And whoever tells you that he concealed..."

454
00:22:08,990 --> 00:22:10,390
In another narration:

455
00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:13,789
"concealed anything of what Allah revealed to him,

456
00:22:13,789 --> 00:22:15,390
has lied."

457
00:22:15,390 --> 00:22:16,990
She then recited:

458
00:22:16,990 --> 00:22:18,589
"O Messenger,

459
00:22:18,589 --> 00:22:22,390
“O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.” (5:67)

460
00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:24,089
the rest of the verse.

461
00:22:24,089 --> 00:22:30,220
"Rather, he saw Gabriel (peace be upon him) in his true form twice."

462
00:22:30,220 --> 00:22:33,599
Commentary on the Hadith:

463
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:35,200
"My hair stands on end":

464
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,829
meaning the hair of my skin stood up in shivering shock.

465
00:22:38,829 --> 00:22:41,029
"No vision can encompass Him":

466
00:22:41,029 --> 00:22:43,230
meaning sight cannot fully comprehend or surround Him,

467
00:22:43,230 --> 00:22:45,230
even if it beholds Him.

468
00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:47,430
"And He encompasses all vision":

469
00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:51,430
meaning His knowledge completely encompasses both the outward and the inward.

470
00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:53,430
"And He is the Subtle, the All-Aware":

471
00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:57,029
the One whose knowledge and expertise are so fine and precise

472
00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:59,630
that they penetrate all inner secrets and concealed things,

473
00:22:59,630 --> 00:23:02,660
the hidden depths and inner realities.

474
00:23:02,660 --> 00:23:06,460
“Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendeth down the rain, and knoweth that which is in the wombs. No soul knoweth what it will earn to-morrow, and no soul knoweth in what land it will die. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” (31:34)

475
00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:09,660
Meaning, regarding what one earns for their religion and worldly life.

476
00:23:09,660 --> 00:23:10,660
"Concealed":

477
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:12,859
meaning deliberately hid.

478
00:23:12,859 --> 00:23:14,259
"O Messenger":

479
00:23:14,259 --> 00:23:17,660
“O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.” (5:67)

480
00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:22,859
This is a command from Allah to His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him)

481
00:23:22,859 --> 00:23:25,460
with the greatest and most majestic of instructions,

482
00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:28,460
which is to convey everything that Allah revealed to him

483
00:23:28,460 --> 00:23:31,059
concerning beliefs, legal rulings,

484
00:23:31,059 --> 00:23:33,720
and divine demands.

485
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,119
"In his form":

486
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,900
meaning in his true physical reality and shape in which he was created.

487
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,569
Key Takeaways from the Hadith:

488
00:23:43,569 --> 00:23:45,569
Among the benefits derived from the hadith is

489
00:23:45,569 --> 00:23:48,170
the affirmation of the believers seeing Allah Almighty in the Hereafter;

490
00:23:48,170 --> 00:23:49,970
for when total comprehension (idrak) is negated—

491
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:52,769
which is a specific nuance beyond mere sight—

492
00:23:52,769 --> 00:23:56,369
it establishes that sight itself is affirmed.

493
00:23:56,369 --> 00:23:59,970
It also contains a prohibition against delving into religious matters without knowledge,

494
00:23:59,970 --> 00:24:04,769
illustrating the grave peril of speaking about Allah Almighty without sound knowledge.

495
00:24:04,769 --> 00:24:11,390
Furthermore, it affirms that none knows the unseen except Allah Almighty.

496
00:24:11,390 --> 00:24:13,589
On the authority of Masruq, who said:

497
00:24:13,589 --> 00:24:16,789
I said to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her):

498
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:18,190
"What then about Allah's saying:

499
00:24:18,190 --> 00:24:20,789
'Then he approached and came closer,

500
00:24:20,789 --> 00:24:24,259
and was at a distance of two bow lengths or even nearer'?"

501
00:24:24,259 --> 00:24:25,259
She replied:

502
00:24:25,259 --> 00:24:27,259
"That was Gabriel.

503
00:24:27,259 --> 00:24:30,259
He used to come to him in the likeness of a man,

504
00:24:30,259 --> 00:24:35,259
but on this occasion he came to him in his own true form,

505
00:24:35,259 --> 00:24:38,029
blocking the entire horizon."

506
00:24:38,029 --> 00:24:41,339
Commentary on the Hadith:

507
00:24:41,339 --> 00:24:42,740
"Then he approached":

508
00:24:42,740 --> 00:24:47,339
meaning Gabriel (peace be upon him) drew near to the Prophet (peace be upon him)

509
00:24:47,339 --> 00:24:49,740
to deliver the revelation to him.

510
00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:51,140
"And came closer":

511
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:54,140
meaning descending toward him from the highest horizon.

512
00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:55,740
"Blocking the entire horizon":

513
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:59,619

to prevent them from committing the act;

536
00:26:17,059 --> 00:26:18,660
however, once the act is committed,

537
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:22,059

00:26:48,779 --> 00:26:51,980
And I saw Jesus: a man of medium height,

547
00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:53,779
of well-proportioned build,

548
00:26:53,779 --> 00:26:55,980
