for Humanities Studies and Research

00:00:09.529 --> 00:00:10.849
presents:

00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:16.050
An Abridgment of Sahih al-Bukhari.

00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:22.160
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.079
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) narrated to us—

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.359
and he is the truthful, the one believed—

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.439
"The creation of one of you is assembled in his mother's womb for forty days,

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.359
or forty nights;

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.039
then he becomes a clinging clot for a like period;

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.840
then he becomes a lump of flesh for a like period;

00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.280
then the angel is sent to him

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.600
and is commanded regarding four matters:

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.960
to write down his provision, his lifespan, his deeds,

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.119
and whether he will be wretched or blessed.

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:53.799
Then the soul is breathed into him.

00:00:54.350 --> 00:00:57.750
By Allah, one of you may perform the deeds of the people of Paradise

00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:01.950
until there is nothing between him and it but an arm's length,

00:01:02.429 --> 00:01:04.950
(and in another narration: 'or two arms' lengths'),

00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:07.349
whereupon the decree overtakes him,

00:01:07.670 --> 00:01:09.790
so he performs the deeds of the people of the Fire

00:01:09.989 --> 00:01:11.430
and enters it.

00:01:11.950 --> 00:01:15.069
And one of you may perform the deeds of the people of the Fire

00:01:15.430 --> 00:01:19.390
until there is nothing between him and it but an arm's length,

00:01:19.909 --> 00:01:20.870
(and in another narration:

00:01:21.269 --> 00:01:23.510
'except a fathom or an arm's length'),

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."

00:01:30.230 --> 00:01:34.159
Commentary on the hadith:

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.560
"The truthful": meaning in his speech and in what is revealed to him.

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:43.560
"The one believed": meaning Allah Almighty confirmed him in His promise.

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,

00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:53.890
"for forty days"—

00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:57.090
these first forty days are for the drop of fluid (nutfah).

00:01:57.090 --> 00:02:00.890
"A clinging clot": meaning thick, congealed blood.

00:02:00.890 --> 00:02:04.420
"A like period": meaning forty days.

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.

00:02:09.409 --> 00:02:12.409
"Is commanded": meaning he is instructed.

00:02:12.409 --> 00:02:17.409
"Then the soul is breathed into him": meaning after one hundred and twenty days.

00:02:17.409 --> 00:02:20.610
"But an arm's length": meaning the distance of an arm's length,

00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:23.469
and it signifies extreme proximity.

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.

00:02:29.650 --> 00:02:33.409
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:02:33.409 --> 00:02:36.210
The hadith is among the signs of prophethood,

00:02:36.210 --> 00:02:42.009
for the Prophet (peace be upon him) informed of the stages of embryonic development.

00:02:42.009 --> 00:02:47.009
It also shows that whoever recognizes Allah's power over the initial creation

00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:52.069
will believe in the Resurrection, the Gathering, the Assembly, the Reckoning, and the Recompense.

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,

00:02:57.469 --> 00:03:01.870
its provision and lifespan have already been determined in the knowledge of Allah,

00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:04.669
as well as its ultimate felicity or wretchedness.

00:03:04.669 --> 00:03:08.469
It shows that a person should never rely solely upon their deeds,

00:03:08.469 --> 00:03:11.069
nor depend entirely upon their worship,

00:03:11.069 --> 00:03:15.270
for hearts and all affairs are in the Hand of the Most Merciful, Mighty and Majestic.

00:03:15.270 --> 00:03:21.659
It contains a warning against despairing of the mercy of Allah Almighty.

00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:23.259
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah,

00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:27.060
from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said:

00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:29.259
"When Allah loves a servant,

00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:31.259
He calls Gabriel:

00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:34.860
'Indeed, Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.'

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:37.460
Thereupon, Gabriel loves him.

00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:40.460
Gabriel then calls out to the inhabitants of heaven:

00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:44.460
'Indeed, Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.'

00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:47.060
So the inhabitants of heaven love him,

00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:51.349
and acceptance is then established for him on earth."

00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:55.729
This means among the majority of the believers who know him,

00:03:55.729 --> 00:03:58.330
and his good mention endures.

00:03:58.330 --> 00:03:59.729
And it has been said:

00:03:59.729 --> 00:04:02.330
that Allah casts love for him into the hearts of its inhabitants,

00:04:02.330 --> 00:04:04.930
so that they praise and extol him.

00:04:04.930 --> 00:04:07.930
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:04:07.930 --> 00:04:10.129
It is derived from this hadith

00:04:10.129 --> 00:04:13.819
that love and hatred originate from Him, the Exalted.

00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:17.779
It affirms the divine attributes of love and hatred,

00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:20.180
and emphasizes the reality of divine love and displeasure.

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),

00:04:25.379 --> 00:04:32.199
that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say:

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.199
"The angels descend into the clouds ('anan),

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.199
which refers to the clouds,"

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.199
(in another narration:

00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.199
"they converse,

00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.199
mentioning a matter that was decreed in heaven;

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.199
in another narration:

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.199
'concerning the matter decreed,'

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.199
in another narration:

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.230
in another narration:

00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:54.189
'concerning a matter that shall come to pass on earth'),

00:04:54.189 --> 00:04:56.389
"and the devils eavesdrop,

00:04:56.389 --> 00:04:57.790
hear it,

00:04:57.790 --> 00:05:00.589
and convey it to the soothsayers;"

00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:01.990
(in another narration:

00:05:01.990 --> 00:05:04.189
"and pour it into the soothsayer's ear

00:05:04.189 --> 00:05:06.889
just as liquid is poured into a flask),

00:05:06.889 --> 00:05:09.689
"and they mix with it a hundred lies

00:05:09.689 --> 00:05:12.660
of their own making."

00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:15.939
Commentary on the hadith:

00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:17.139
"Al-'Anan":

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:18.740
meaning the clouds.

00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:20.540
"Mentioning the matter":

00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:24.740
meaning the angels speak of the matter that has been decreed in heaven,

00:05:24.740 --> 00:05:26.980
whether regarding its existence or nonexistence.

00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:29.579
"And the devils eavesdrop":

00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:32.779
meaning they listen secretly, like a thief.

00:05:32.779 --> 00:05:33.980
"And convey it":

00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:36.839
meaning they deliver and communicate it

00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.439
"to the soothsayers":

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.839
who are those that give foreknowledge of what will happen in the future

00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.870
and claim knowledge of the unseen.

00:05:45.870 --> 00:05:47.269
"And pour it":

00:05:47.269 --> 00:05:49.560
meaning they cast it.

00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.259
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:05:53.259 --> 00:05:55.259
It is derived from the hadith

00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:58.060
that going to soothsayers is strictly prohibited.

00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:02.459
It affirms that none knows the unseen except Allah, Mighty and Majestic.

00:06:02.459 --> 00:06:08.300
The hadith also points to the prohibition of lying.

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:11.100
On the authority of al-Bara' Ibn 'Azib, who said:

00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:14.100
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:17.300
on the day of the siege of Banu Qurayzah to Hassan Ibn Thabit:

00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.500
"Satirize the polytheists;"

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:20.899
(in another narration:

00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:22.300
"Lampoon them,"

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:23.699
or he said:

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:25.300
"Engage them in satirical verse),

00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:28.500
for Gabriel is with you."

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:31.870
Commentary on the hadith:

00:06:31.870 --> 00:06:33.069
"Satirize":

00:06:33.069 --> 00:06:35.870
satire is the opposite of praise.

00:06:35.870 --> 00:06:37.870
"For Gabriel is with you":

00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:40.759
meaning as a supporter and aider.

00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.199
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.199
It is derived from the hadith

00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.000
that lampooning the disbelievers is permissible.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.399
It establishes the permissibility of utilizing poetry in that which serves the common interest.

00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.199
It shows that poetry: that which is good in it is good,

00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.480
and that which is bad in it is bad.

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.279
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

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,

00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.279
raised by the procession of Gabriel (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.680
when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) marched

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.750
against Banu Qurayzah."

00:07:18.750 --> 00:07:21.970
Commentary on the hadith:

00:07:21.970 --> 00:07:23.970
"The dust billowing":

00:07:23.970 --> 00:07:26.370
meaning rising high.

00:07:26.370 --> 00:07:27.569
"Alley" (zuqaq):

00:07:27.569 --> 00:07:30.769
a zuqaq is a lane between houses.

00:07:30.769 --> 00:07:32.170
"Banu Ghanm":

00:07:32.170 --> 00:07:34.170
a clan of the Khazraj,

00:07:34.170 --> 00:07:38.170
among whom was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:07:38.170 --> 00:07:39.569
"Procession" (mowkib):

00:07:39.569 --> 00:07:43.970
a mowkib is a party of riders proceeding gently,

00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:46.720
though other meanings have also been stated.

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.379
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:52.579
It is derived from the hadith

00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:57.180
that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) saw the physical traces of the angels.

00:07:57.180 --> 00:08:00.379
It mentions the angels setting out toward Banu Qurayzah

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:06.000
to support the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.399
On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.600
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said one day:

00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:15.000
"O 'A'ish!

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.199
This is Gabriel greeting you with peace."

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.399
She said: "I replied:

00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:23.199
'And upon him be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.'

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.199
You see what I do not see,"

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.899
referring to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:33.350
Commentary on the hadith:

00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:34.750
"O 'A'ish":

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).

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.899
"Greeting you with peace": meaning conveying peace to you.

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:45.500
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:47.500
It is derived from the hadith

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:50.500
that shortening names affectionately is permissible.

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:

00:08:55.100 --> 00:09:00.799
"And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings."

00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.799
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both),

00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.799
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.200
"O Gabriel,

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.799
what prevents you from visiting us more often than you do?"

00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.200
Whereupon there was revealed:

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)

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)

00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.429
to the end of the verse.

00:09:24.429 --> 00:09:25.429
He said:

00:09:25.429 --> 00:09:31.039
"This was the reply given to Muhammad (peace be upon him)."

00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.289
Commentary on the hadith:

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)

00:09:37.490 --> 00:09:40.090
meaning: we have no say in the matter whatsoever;

00:09:40.090 --> 00:09:42.889
when we are commanded, we hasten to carry out His command,

00:09:42.889 --> 00:09:45.620
and we never disobey any instruction of His.

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)

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:53.019
meaning: to Him belong all past, future, and present affairs,

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:56.029
across both time and space.

00:09:56.029 --> 00:09:59.730
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:09:59.730 --> 00:10:01.730
It is derived from the hadith

00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:04.929
that the angels are servants acting under divine command.

00:10:04.929 --> 00:10:09.730
The hadith also demonstrates the love of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:10:09.730 --> 00:10:14.100
for Gabriel (peace be upon him).

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:17.899
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both),

00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:22.100
that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:24.700
"Gabriel recited the Qur'an to me in one style of recitation (harf),

00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:26.299
and I petitioned him,

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:29.299
continuing to ask him for more, and he gave me more,

00:10:29.299 --> 00:10:33.350
until he reached seven distinct modes (ahruf)."

00:10:33.350 --> 00:10:36.570
Commentary on the hadith:

00:10:36.570 --> 00:10:37.970
"upon one mode (harf)" —

00:10:37.970 --> 00:10:39.769
it is said: in one dialect,

00:10:39.769 --> 00:10:41.769
and it is said: "harf" means

00:10:41.769 --> 00:10:43.169
grammatical inflection,

00:10:43.169 --> 00:10:45.570
and other explanations have also been given.

00:10:45.570 --> 00:10:46.970
"I asked him for an increase,"

00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:50.769
meaning: I asked him to grant more than one single mode.

00:10:50.769 --> 00:10:51.970
"It ended,"

00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:53.659
meaning: it reached that final number.

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:57.389
Among the benefits of the hadith:

00:10:57.389 --> 00:10:59.389
It is derived from the hadith

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.

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.

00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.000
Chapter: When one of you says "Amin"

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.200
and the angels in heaven say "Amin,"

00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.799
and the one coincides with the other,

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.970
his past sins will be forgiven.

00:11:24.970 --> 00:11:28.570
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said:

00:11:28.570 --> 00:11:31.169
I heard Abu Talhah saying:

00:11:31.169 --> 00:11:35.769
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:

00:11:35.769 --> 00:11:42.250
"Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image (effigies)."

00:11:42.250 --> 00:11:45.559
Commentary on the hadith:

00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.159
"Angels,"

00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:48.960
meaning: other than the guardian angels,

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.159
and what is meant are

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:55.179
those who roam bringing mercy, blessings, and seeking forgiveness.

00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:58.720
Among the benefits of the hadith:

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.720
It is derived from the hadith

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.519
that keeping dogs and images is prohibited,

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.720
except what is exempted by textual evidence.

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:12.539
The hadith also points to the prohibition of image-making.

00:12:12.539 --> 00:12:14.539
On the authority of Busr ibn Sa'id,

00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:19.139
that Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to him,

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:23.139
and with Busr ibn Sa'id was 'Ubaydullah al-Khawlani,

00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:26.940
who was under the care of Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her),

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:30.340
the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:32.940
Zayd ibn Khalid narrated to both of them

00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:35.340
that Abu Talhah narrated to him

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:39.340
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:43.379
"Angels do not enter a house in which there is an image."

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:44.980
Busr said:

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:47.179
Then Zayd ibn Khalid fell ill,

00:12:47.179 --> 00:12:48.580
so we visited him,

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:52.980
and unexpectedly we found a curtain bearing images in his house.

00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:55.980
So I said to 'Ubaydullah al-Khawlani:

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:58.980
"Did he not narrate to us concerning images?"

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:00.179
He replied:

00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:01.779
"Indeed, he stated:

00:13:01.779 --> 00:13:04.379
'except an inscription on a garment.'

00:13:04.379 --> 00:13:06.179
Did you not hear him?"

00:13:06.179 --> 00:13:07.779
I said: "No."

00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:11.289
He said: "Yes, indeed, he mentioned it."

00:13:11.289 --> 00:13:14.570
Commentary on the hadith:

00:13:14.570 --> 00:13:15.769
"So we visited him" ('udnahu):

00:13:15.769 --> 00:13:18.769
'Iyadah refers to visiting the sick.

00:13:18.769 --> 00:13:19.970
"Raqm" (inscription):

00:13:19.970 --> 00:13:23.350
Raqm refers to embroidery, patterns, and markings.

00:13:23.350 --> 00:13:27.019
Among the benefits of the hadith:

00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:29.019
It is derived from the hadith

00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:33.220
that keeping images is prohibited except what the text has exempted.

00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:38.820
The hadith also indicates that legal rulings are not deduced from a single hadith alone;

00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:42.220
rather, all the hadiths of a subject must be gathered,

00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:46.990
and then the rulings are formulated upon them.

00:13:46.990 --> 00:13:48.990
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar who said:

00:13:48.990 --> 00:13:53.190
Jibril made an appointment to meet the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:13:53.190 --> 00:13:54.789
but he delayed in coming,

00:13:54.789 --> 00:13:59.190
until this weighed heavily upon the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:13:59.190 --> 00:14:03.590
So the Prophet (peace be upon him) went out and met him,

00:14:03.590 --> 00:14:06.389
and he expressed to him what he felt.

00:14:06.389 --> 00:14:07.990
Thereupon, he said to him:

00:14:07.990 --> 00:14:13.429
"We do not enter a house in which there is an image or a dog."

00:14:13.429 --> 00:14:16.549
Commentary on the hadith:

00:14:16.549 --> 00:14:18.149
"He delayed in coming" (ratha 'alayh),

00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:21.350
meaning: he was slow and was late for the appointment,

00:14:21.350 --> 00:14:22.750
"until it weighed heavily,"

00:14:22.750 --> 00:14:25.950
meaning: his delay felt burdensome and distressing to him.

00:14:25.950 --> 00:14:29.350
"So the Prophet (peace be upon him) went out,"

00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:31.350
meaning: out of the house.

00:14:31.350 --> 00:14:32.549
"What he felt,"

00:14:32.549 --> 00:14:36.210
meaning: the distress he experienced from the wait.

00:14:36.210 --> 00:14:39.779
Among the benefits of the hadith:

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:41.980
It is derived from the hadith

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:45.779
an illustration of the Prophet's profound love

00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:48.179
for Jibril (peace be upon him).

00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:51.379
It also contains the prohibition of keeping dogs and images,

00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:55.730
except what the text has exempted.

00:14:55.730 --> 00:14:57.730
On the authority of Safwan ibn Ya'la,

00:14:57.730 --> 00:14:59.529
on the authority of his father who said:

00:14:59.529 --> 00:15:02.330
I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:15:02.330 --> 00:15:04.529
reciting from the pulpit:

00:15:04.529 --> 00:15:09.309
"And they will call out: 'O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!'"

00:15:09.309 --> 00:15:12.620
Commentary on the hadith:

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:14.019
"And they will call out,"

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:15.620
meaning: while they are in the Fire,

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:18.690
hoping that they might find some respite:

00:15:18.690 --> 00:15:21.889
"'O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!'"

00:15:21.889 --> 00:15:24.090
meaning: let Him cause us to die so that we may find rest,

00:15:24.090 --> 00:15:27.889
for we are in severe grief and dreadful torment,

00:15:27.889 --> 00:15:31.309
having neither patience nor endurance to bear it.

00:15:31.309 --> 00:15:34.850
Among the benefits of the hadith:

00:15:34.850 --> 00:15:37.049
It is derived from the hadith

00:15:37.049 --> 00:15:39.049
that the name of the keeper of Hellfire is

00:15:39.049 --> 00:15:40.450
Malik.

00:15:40.450 --> 00:15:43.649
It also establishes the eternal damnation of the people of disbelief in the Fire.

00:15:43.649 --> 00:15:49.419
It also shows that the Fire is currently in existence and created.

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),

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:59.019
that she asked the Prophet (peace be upon him):

00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:04.019
"Did you ever experience a day harder upon you than the Day of Uhud?"

00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:05.220
He replied:

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:08.620
"I have suffered from your people what I have suffered,

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:12.820
and the hardest of what I suffered from them was on the Day of al-'Aqabah,

00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:17.620
when I presented myself to Ibn 'Abd Yalil ibn 'Abd Kulal,

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:20.620
and he did not respond to me as I wished.

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:24.019
So I departed, overwhelmed with grief, wandering aimlessly,

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:28.220
and I did not recover my senses until I found myself at Qarn al-Tha'alib.

00:16:28.419 --> 00:16:30.220
I raised my head,

00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:34.220
and behold, a cloud was overshadowing me.

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:35.419
I looked,

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:37.820
and there was Jibril in it!

00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:40.220
He called out to me and said:

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:43.620
'Allah has heard the words of your people to you,

00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:45.620
and how they responded to you,

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.'

00:16:51.289 --> 00:16:55.090
The Angel of the Mountains then called out to me and greeted me with salam,

00:16:55.090 --> 00:16:56.690
and said:

00:16:56.690 --> 00:16:58.289
'O Muhammad!'

00:16:58.289 --> 00:16:59.490
Then he said:

00:16:59.490 --> 00:17:01.690
'It is as you wish;

00:17:01.690 --> 00:17:05.490
if you wish, I will bring together the two mountains upon them.'

00:17:05.490 --> 00:17:09.089
But the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

00:17:09.089 --> 00:17:12.289
'Rather, I hope that Allah will bring forth from their loins

00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:14.490
those who will worship Allah alone,

00:17:14.490 --> 00:17:17.900
associating nothing with Him.'"

00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:21.470
Commentary on the hadith:

00:17:21.470 --> 00:17:23.069
"The Day of al-'Aqabah":

00:17:23.069 --> 00:17:26.269
it is the place to which Jamrat al-'Aqabah is attributed,

00:17:26.269 --> 00:17:27.869
and it is situated in Mina;

00:17:27.869 --> 00:17:30.069
that took place in Shawwal

00:17:30.069 --> 00:17:33.099
in the tenth year of the Prophethood.

00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:34.900
"Ibn 'Abd Yalil":

00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:38.500
he was among the notable leaders of the people of Ta'if from the Thaqif tribe.

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:39.700
"Grief-stricken" (mahmum),

00:17:39.700 --> 00:17:41.900
meaning: sorrowful and distressed.

00:17:41.900 --> 00:17:43.299
"Wandering aimlessly" ('ala wajhi),

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:46.299
meaning: heading straight ahead in the direction facing me.

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:47.900
"I did not recover my senses,"

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:50.500
meaning: I did not become aware of my state,

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:52.900
nor did I know where I was.

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:54.700
"At Qarn al-Tha'alib":

00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:57.099
it is a location near Mecca;

00:17:57.099 --> 00:17:59.099
it is said to be Qarn al-Manazil,

00:17:59.099 --> 00:18:01.299
the miqat for the people of Najd.

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:03.299
"That I bring together upon them,"

00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:05.900
meaning: that the two mountains close in over whoever is in Mecca,

00:18:05.900 --> 00:18:09.500
so that they become like a single covering over them.

00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:11.099
"The two mountains" (al-Akhshaban):

00:18:11.099 --> 00:18:14.299
they are two opposing mountains in Mecca:

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:15.700
Abu Qubays

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:17.299
and Qu'ayqi'an;

00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:19.500
and other views have also been stated.

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:21.099
"From their loins,"

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:24.119
meaning: from their descendants.

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.750
Among the benefits of the hadith:

00:18:27.750 --> 00:18:29.750
It is derived from the hadith

00:18:29.750 --> 00:18:32.549
a demonstration of the profound compassion and mercy of the Prophet

00:18:32.549 --> 00:18:34.349
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:18:34.349 --> 00:18:36.150
toward all people,

00:18:36.150 --> 00:18:39.349
and his keen desire for the guidance of humanity.

00:18:39.349 --> 00:18:41.549
It also shows that the mountains have an angel

00:18:41.549 --> 00:18:43.549
whose charge is entrusted to him.

00:18:43.549 --> 00:18:45.150
It also illustrates the merit of patience

00:18:45.150 --> 00:18:46.750
and seeking Allah's reward in calling

00:18:46.750 --> 00:18:51.730
to the oneness of Allah (Tawhid), Mighty and Majestic.

00:18:51.730 --> 00:18:54.130
On the authority of al-Shaybani who said:

00:18:54.130 --> 00:18:55.529
I asked Zirr

00:18:55.529 --> 00:18:57.730
about the saying of Allah, Exalted is He:

00:18:57.730 --> 00:19:00.930
“Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,” (53:9)

00:19:00.930 --> 00:19:04.559
“And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.” (53:10)

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:05.559
He said:

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.559
'Abdullah informed us

00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.359
that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:11.759
saw Jibril

00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.099
having six hundred wings.

00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:18.380
Commentary on the hadith:

00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:19.779
"And was" [Qur'an 53:9],

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:21.779
meaning: in his closeness to him,

00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:23.380
"at a distance of two bow lengths,"

00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:25.380
meaning: the span of two bows,

00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:26.579
"or nearer,"

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:29.180
meaning: even closer than two bow lengths.

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:30.380
"So He revealed,"

00:19:30.380 --> 00:19:34.579
meaning: Allah revealed through Jibril (peace be upon him)

00:19:34.579 --> 00:19:35.779
"to His servant,"

00:19:35.779 --> 00:19:39.380
meaning: Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:19:39.380 --> 00:19:40.779
"what He revealed,"

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:43.890
meaning: of the magnificent Sacred Law.

00:19:43.890 --> 00:19:47.619
Among the benefits of the hadith:

00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:49.619
It is derived from the hadith

00:19:49.619 --> 00:19:52.220
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw

00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:54.420
Jibril (peace be upon him)

00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:57.619
in the form in which he was created.

00:19:57.619 --> 00:20:00.420
This also indicates that Gabriel’s (peace be upon him) mission

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:05.390
was to convey the revelation directly, without any intermediary.

00:20:05.390 --> 00:20:08.190
On the authority of 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:20:08.190 --> 00:20:11.789
“Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.” (53:18)

00:20:11.789 --> 00:20:12.789
who said:

00:20:12.789 --> 00:20:14.990
"He saw a green cushion

00:20:14.990 --> 00:20:18.099
that blocked the horizon of the sky."

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:21.420
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:24.619
“Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.” (53:18)

00:20:24.619 --> 00:20:26.819
Meaning, of Paradise and Hellfire,

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:29.420
among other matters that he saw,

00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:31.220
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:33.250
on the Night of the Heavenly Ascent.

00:20:33.250 --> 00:20:34.650
"A cushion" (rafraf):

00:20:34.650 --> 00:20:36.250
It was said to mean a carpet,

00:20:36.250 --> 00:20:37.849
and it was said to mean a garment,

00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:40.049
and other things were also suggested.

00:20:40.049 --> 00:20:43.160
"Blocked", meaning it filled it entirely.

00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:46.960
Key Takeaways from the Hadith:

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.960
Among the benefits derived from the hadith is

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:51.559
the confirmation of the Ascension (Mi'raj) and the witnessing of the great signs

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.359
during that miraculous journey.

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:59.339
It also illustrates the immense majesty of Gabriel's creation, peace be upon him.

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:01.740
On the authority of Masruq, who said:

00:21:01.940 --> 00:21:04.940
I said to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her):

00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:06.539
"O mother,

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:10.940
did Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) see his Lord?"

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:12.339
She replied:

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:15.769
"My hair stands on end at what you have just said!

00:21:15.769 --> 00:21:17.569
Where do you stand regarding three things?

00:21:17.569 --> 00:21:20.769
Whoever tells them to you has lied:

00:21:20.769 --> 00:21:25.569
Whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw his Lord

00:21:25.569 --> 00:21:27.369
has lied."

00:21:27.369 --> 00:21:28.569
In another narration:

00:21:28.569 --> 00:21:30.369
"has uttered a monstrous fabrication."

00:21:30.369 --> 00:21:31.970
She then recited:

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)

00:21:35.970 --> 00:21:38.569
"and He is the Subtle, the All-Aware."

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)

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)

00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:49.299
"And whoever tells you that he knows what will happen tomorrow

00:21:49.299 --> 00:21:50.900
has lied."

00:21:50.900 --> 00:21:52.500
She then recited:

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)

00:21:56.930 --> 00:21:58.329
In another narration:

00:21:58.329 --> 00:22:00.329
"that he knows the unseen,

00:22:00.329 --> 00:22:01.730
has lied,

00:22:01.730 --> 00:22:03.130
while Allah says:

00:22:03.130 --> 00:22:06.190
'None knows the unseen except Allah.'"

00:22:06.190 --> 00:22:08.990
"And whoever tells you that he concealed..."

00:22:08.990 --> 00:22:10.390
In another narration:

00:22:10.390 --> 00:22:13.789
"concealed anything of what Allah revealed to him,

00:22:13.789 --> 00:22:15.390
has lied."

00:22:15.390 --> 00:22:16.990
She then recited:

00:22:16.990 --> 00:22:18.589
"O Messenger,

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)

00:22:22.390 --> 00:22:24.089
the rest of the verse.

00:22:24.089 --> 00:22:30.220
"Rather, he saw Gabriel (peace be upon him) in his true form twice."

00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:33.599
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.200
"My hair stands on end":

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.829
meaning the hair of my skin stood up in shivering shock.

00:22:38.829 --> 00:22:41.029
"No vision can encompass Him":

00:22:41.029 --> 00:22:43.230
meaning sight cannot fully comprehend or surround Him,

00:22:43.230 --> 00:22:45.230
even if it beholds Him.

00:22:45.230 --> 00:22:47.430
"And He encompasses all vision":

00:22:47.430 --> 00:22:51.430
meaning His knowledge completely encompasses both the outward and the inward.

00:22:51.430 --> 00:22:53.430
"And He is the Subtle, the All-Aware":

00:22:53.430 --> 00:22:57.029
the One whose knowledge and expertise are so fine and precise

00:22:57.029 --> 00:22:59.630
that they penetrate all inner secrets and concealed things,

00:22:59.630 --> 00:23:02.660
the hidden depths and inner realities.

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)

00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:09.660
Meaning, regarding what one earns for their religion and worldly life.

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.660
"Concealed":

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:12.859
meaning deliberately hid.

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:14.259
"O Messenger":

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)

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:22.859
This is a command from Allah to His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him)

00:23:22.859 --> 00:23:25.460
with the greatest and most majestic of instructions,

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:28.460
which is to convey everything that Allah revealed to him

00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:31.059
concerning beliefs, legal rulings,

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:33.720
and divine demands.

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.119
"In his form":

00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:39.900
meaning in his true physical reality and shape in which he was created.

00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:43.569
Key Takeaways from the Hadith:

00:23:43.569 --> 00:23:45.569
Among the benefits derived from the hadith is

00:23:45.569 --> 00:23:48.170
the affirmation of the believers seeing Allah Almighty in the Hereafter;

00:23:48.170 --> 00:23:49.970
for when total comprehension (idrak) is negated—

00:23:49.970 --> 00:23:52.769
which is a specific nuance beyond mere sight—

00:23:52.769 --> 00:23:56.369
it establishes that sight itself is affirmed.

00:23:56.369 --> 00:23:59.970
It also contains a prohibition against delving into religious matters without knowledge,

00:23:59.970 --> 00:24:04.769
illustrating the grave peril of speaking about Allah Almighty without sound knowledge.

00:24:04.769 --> 00:24:11.390
Furthermore, it affirms that none knows the unseen except Allah Almighty.

00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:13.589
On the authority of Masruq, who said:

00:24:13.589 --> 00:24:16.789
I said to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her):

00:24:16.789 --> 00:24:18.190
"What then about Allah's saying:

00:24:18.190 --> 00:24:20.789
'Then he approached and came closer,

00:24:20.789 --> 00:24:24.259
and was at a distance of two bow lengths or even nearer'?"

00:24:24.259 --> 00:24:25.259
She replied:

00:24:25.259 --> 00:24:27.259
"That was Gabriel.

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:30.259
He used to come to him in the likeness of a man,

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:35.259
but on this occasion he came to him in his own true form,

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:38.029
blocking the entire horizon."

00:24:38.029 --> 00:24:41.339
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:42.740
"Then he approached":

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:47.339
meaning Gabriel (peace be upon him) drew near to the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:24:47.339 --> 00:24:49.740
to deliver the revelation to him.

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:51.140
"And came closer":

00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:54.140
meaning descending toward him from the highest horizon.

00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:55.740
"Blocking the entire horizon":

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:59.619
meaning he filled the expanse between heaven and earth.

00:24:59.619 --> 00:25:03.279
Key Takeaways from the Hadith:

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.279
Among the benefits derived from the hadith is

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:14.079
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw Gabriel (peace be upon him) in the actual form in which Allah created him on two occasions.

00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:20.519
It also highlights the practice of referring to people of knowledge to resolve confusing ambiguities.

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.920
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:27.519
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:31.720
"If a man invites his wife to his bed and she refuses,

00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:34.119
and he spends the night angry with her,

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.849
the angels curse her until the morning."

00:25:37.849 --> 00:25:39.450
In another narration:

00:25:39.450 --> 00:25:43.650
"If a woman spends the night forsaking her husband's bed,

00:25:43.650 --> 00:25:47.960
the angels curse her until she returns."

00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.180
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:54.380
"If a man invites his wife to his bed":

00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:57.609
This is a metonym for his desire for sexual intimacy.

00:25:58.410 --> 00:26:00.210
"And she refuses": meaning she declines.

00:26:00.210 --> 00:26:03.759
"Angry": meaning deeply displeased.

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.460
Key Takeaways from the Hadith:

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:09.460
Among the benefits derived from the hadith is

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:11.859
the permissibility of warning against a disobedient Muslim through general condemnation,

00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:14.660
when intended as a deterrent

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:17.059
to prevent them from committing the act;

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:18.660
however, once the act is committed,

00:26:18.660 --> 00:26:22.059
one should instead pray for their repentance and guidance.

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:25.059
It also emphasizes the immense right of the husband,

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:27.859
contains a stern warning against withholding marital rights,

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:32.450
and forbids mistreatment in married life.

00:26:32.450 --> 00:26:35.450
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both),

00:26:35.450 --> 00:26:39.250
from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said:

00:26:39.250 --> 00:26:42.450
"On the night I was taken on the Night Journey, I saw Moses:

00:26:42.450 --> 00:26:45.849
a brown-skinned, tall man with curly hair,

00:26:45.849 --> 00:26:48.779
as if he were one of the men of the Shanu'ah tribe.

00:26:48.779 --> 00:26:51.980
And I saw Jesus: a man of medium height,

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:53.779
of well-proportioned build,

00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:55.980
with a reddish-white complexion

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:57.980
and straight hair."

00:26:57.980 --> 00:26:59.180
In another narration:

00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:00.579
"with wavy hair.

00:27:00.579 --> 00:27:03.380
And I saw Malik, the keeper of Hellfire,

00:27:03.380 --> 00:27:04.980
as well as the Dajjal (the Antichrist),

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:08.779
among the great signs shown to him by Allah."

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:13.740
“We verily gave Moses the Scripture; so be not ye in doubt of his receiving it; and We appointed it a guidance for the Children of Israel.” (32:23)

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:17.150
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:27:17.150 --> 00:27:19.750
"Brown-skinned" (adam): meaning tan in complexion,

00:27:19.750 --> 00:27:21.950
and it was said to resemble the color of the earth.

00:27:21.950 --> 00:27:25.349
"Tall" (tuwal): meaning of tall stature.

00:27:25.349 --> 00:27:28.750
"Curly" (ja'd): meaning hair that is not straight.

00:27:28.750 --> 00:27:29.950
"Shanu'ah":

00:27:29.950 --> 00:27:32.549
a well-known tribe from the Azd.

00:27:32.549 --> 00:27:34.150
"Of well-proportioned build":

00:27:34.150 --> 00:27:37.150
meaning neither noticeably short nor excessively tall.

00:27:37.150 --> 00:27:38.549
"Straight hair" (sabt ar-ra's):

00:27:38.549 --> 00:27:41.019
meaning smooth, flowing hair.

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:42.420
"The Dajjal":

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:44.220
he is the notorious arch-impostor

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:47.420
who will emerge at the end of time.

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:51.220
“We verily gave Moses the Scripture; so be not ye in doubt of his receiving it; and We appointed it a guidance for the Children of Israel.” (32:23)

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:55.420
Because the proofs and clear signs of truth have been abundantly established,

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:59.259
leaving no room whatsoever for hesitation or doubt.

00:27:59.259 --> 00:28:02.859
Key Takeaways from the Hadith:

00:28:02.859 --> 00:28:04.859
Among the benefits derived from the hadith is

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:07.660
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw

00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:09.660
the Prophets (peace be upon them)

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:12.559
in the heavens in an actual, physical reality.

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:14.759
It also demonstrates that the Night Journey and Ascension (al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj)

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:18.960
are among the greatest miracles of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
