00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:10.820
presents

00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:15.919
An Abridgment of Sahih al-Bukhari.

00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.059
Chapter:

00:00:19.059 --> 00:00:22.260
The Deceased Hears the Sound of Sandal Steps.

00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:25.820
Narrated Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:29.519
from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said:

00:00:30.019 --> 00:00:32.520
"When a servant is placed in his grave,

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.119
and [the people] turn away

00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:35.820
and his companions depart,

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:39.520
to the extent that he truly hears the sound of their sandals,

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.420
two angels come to him,

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:42.820
make him sit up,

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:44.719
and say to him,

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:50.420
'What did you use to say about this man, Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him?'

00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:51.920
He will say,

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.380
'I bear witness that he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger.'

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:56.880
It will then be said,

00:00:56.979 --> 00:00:59.979
'Look at your place in the Fire;

00:00:59.979 --> 00:01:03.979
Allah has replaced it for you with a place in Paradise.'

00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:06.579
So he sees them both.

00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:09.280
As for the disbeliever or the hypocrite,

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:10.579
he will say,

00:01:10.579 --> 00:01:12.079
'I do not know;

00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.280
I only used to say what the people said.'

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:16.680
So it will be said,

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.480
'May you neither know nor follow [the truth]!'

00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:24.579
Then he is struck with an iron hammer a blow between his ears,

00:01:24.579 --> 00:01:30.849
and he screams with a shriek heard by whatever is near him, except the two weightier creations [mankind and the jinn]."

00:01:30.849 --> 00:01:34.260
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:35.359
"A servant"

00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.060
means a believer.

00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:38.459
"And [the people] turn away"

00:01:38.459 --> 00:01:41.290
means they depart and his companions leave.

00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:42.989
"The sound of their sandals"

00:01:42.989 --> 00:01:46.819
refers to the footfall sound of sandals as they tread on the ground.

00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:48.620
"Two angels come to him":

00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:51.120
they are Munkar and Nakir.

00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:52.519
"Make him sit up"

00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.609
means they seat him upright.

00:01:54.609 --> 00:01:56.609
"So he sees them both"

00:01:56.609 --> 00:02:02.409
refers to the two abodes, one being in Paradise and the other in the Fire.

00:02:02.409 --> 00:02:04.709
"May you neither know nor follow [the truth]"

00:02:04.709 --> 00:02:08.909
means: you neither benefited from your own discernment nor from your recitation;

00:02:08.909 --> 00:02:11.210
and other interpretations have also been offered.

00:02:11.210 --> 00:02:12.909
"Except the two weightier creations"

00:02:12.909 --> 00:02:15.500
refers to mankind and the jinn.

00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:19.129
Points of Benefit from the Hadith:

00:02:19.129 --> 00:02:20.430
The apparent sense of the hadith

00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:24.219
indicates that the deceased person hears those around him.

00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:29.120
The hadith affirms the questioning of the deceased in his grave by the two angels,

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.919
and that the deceased is questioned in his grave concerning the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.819
The hadith affirms the bliss and punishment of the grave,

00:02:38.819 --> 00:02:44.120
and that the deceased sees his place in Paradise and his place in the Fire.

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:50.259
It indicates the permissibility of wearing sandals for one visiting graves while walking amidst them.

00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:54.159
It affirms that created beings hear the punishment of the grave,

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.360
with the exception of mankind and the jinn.

00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.759
It censures blind following in matters of creed,

00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.860
as seen in the chastisement of the one who said,

00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:04.960
"I only used to say what the people said."

00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:14.889
The hadith also indicates that there is no salvation except by following the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:03:14.889 --> 00:03:20.629
Chapter: On Wishing to Be Buried in the Holy Land or the Like.

00:03:20.629 --> 00:03:24.229
Narrated Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him:

00:03:24.330 --> 00:03:28.729
"The Angel of Death was sent to Moses, peace be upon them both,

00:03:28.729 --> 00:03:31.729
and when he came to him, Moses struck him.

00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:34.629
So he returned to his Lord and said,

00:03:34.629 --> 00:03:38.530
'You sent me to a servant who does not want to die.'

00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:41.030
Thereupon, Allah restored his eye to him

00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:42.330
and said,

00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:44.330
'Go back and tell him

00:03:44.330 --> 00:03:47.330
to place his hand on the back of a bull;

00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:52.530
he will be granted, for every hair his hand covers, a year [of life].'

00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:53.530
Moses said,

00:03:53.530 --> 00:03:56.430
'O Lord, then what?'

00:03:56.430 --> 00:03:57.530
He said,

00:03:57.530 --> 00:03:59.229
'Then death.'

00:03:59.229 --> 00:04:00.330
Moses said,

00:04:00.330 --> 00:04:02.030
'Then let it be now.'

00:04:02.030 --> 00:04:08.120
Then he asked Allah to bring him close to the Holy Land within a stone's throw."

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.319
Abu Hurairah said:

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:13.020
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:14.719
"Were I there,

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.019
I would show you his grave

00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:19.220
by the side of the road,

00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:22.560
near the red dune."

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.879
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.180
"He struck him"

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:30.410
means he dealt him a blow that gouged out his eye.

00:04:30.410 --> 00:04:32.410
"So he returned to his Lord"

00:04:32.410 --> 00:04:36.339
means the Angel of Death returned to Allah, Glorious and Exalted.

00:04:36.339 --> 00:04:38.939
"To a servant who does not want to die"

00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:41.509
refers to Moses, peace be upon him.

00:04:41.509 --> 00:04:43.310
"On the back of a bull"

00:04:43.310 --> 00:04:45.339
means upon its upper back.

00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:47.639
"He asked Allah to bring him close"

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.639
means to draw him near

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.740
to the Holy Land,

00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:53.939
which refers to the region of Jerusalem.

00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:55.839
"Within a stone's throw"

00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:01.540
means that if a stone-thrower were to cast a stone from the spot where his grave lies,

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:04.600
it would reach the Holy Land.

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.199
"Were I there"

00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.000
means: were I there in the Holy Land,

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.000
"I would show you his grave,"

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.899
namely the grave of Moses, peace be upon him,

00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:16.100
"near the red dune,"

00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:18.850
which is an accumulation of sand.

00:05:18.850 --> 00:05:22.389
Points of Benefit from the Hadith:

00:05:22.389 --> 00:05:26.389
The hadith specifies the title and duty of the Angel of Death.

00:05:26.389 --> 00:05:32.189
It shows that an angel has the ability to assume a form other than his original one.

00:05:32.189 --> 00:05:35.689
It establishes the recommendation of being buried in virtuous places

00:05:35.689 --> 00:05:38.490
whose virtue is affirmed by textual evidence.

00:05:38.490 --> 00:05:41.089
The hadith is among the signs of prophethood,

00:05:41.089 --> 00:05:44.089
as the Prophet, peace be upon him, informed

00:05:44.089 --> 00:05:47.189
of the location of the grave of Moses, peace be upon him.

00:05:47.189 --> 00:05:49.889
Yet he, peace be upon him, did not define it

00:05:49.889 --> 00:05:52.490
with precise identifying details,

00:05:52.490 --> 00:05:54.879
so as to block the means [to veneration of graves].

00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.379
It also mentions Moses, peace be upon him, striking the Angel of Death,

00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:02.540
which occurred because he did not recognize him.

00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:06.269
Chapter: The Funeral Prayer for the Martyr.

00:06:06.269 --> 00:06:10.699
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with them both:

00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:13.399
The Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.100
used to join two men

00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:18.800
from those slain at Uhud in a single shroud,

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.399
and then he would ask,

00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.930
"Which of them had acquired more of the Qur'an?"

00:06:23.930 --> 00:06:27.029
When one of them was pointed out to him,

00:06:27.029 --> 00:06:29.329
he would advance him in the niche (lahd),

00:06:29.329 --> 00:06:30.629
and he said,

00:06:30.629 --> 00:06:35.000
"I am a witness over these people on the Day of Resurrection."

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.800
He ordered them buried in their blood,

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.889
and they were neither washed nor prayed over.

00:06:41.889 --> 00:06:43.290
In another narration,

00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:45.089
Jabir said:

00:06:45.189 --> 00:06:49.870
"So my father and my uncle were shrouded together in a single striped cloak."

00:06:49.870 --> 00:06:53.339
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:06:53.339 --> 00:06:56.540
"From those slain at Uhud in a single shroud"

00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:58.540
means in a single grave;

00:06:58.540 --> 00:06:59.740
and it is also said

00:06:59.740 --> 00:07:01.839
that he, peace be upon him,

00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.470
would divide the cloth between two men out of necessity.

00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:07.970
"Had acquired more of the Qur'an"

00:07:07.970 --> 00:07:12.100
means the one who had recited and memorized more of the Qur'an.

00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:13.199
"The niche (lahd)"

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.100
is the lateral recess excavated in the side of the grave.

00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:18.899
"I am a witness over these people"

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:24.290
means: I testify on their behalf that they gave up their lives for the sake of Allah the Exalted.

00:07:24.290 --> 00:07:27.920
Points of Benefit from the Hadith:

00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.620
The hadith demonstrates the virtue of the bearer of the Qur'an.

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:35.620
It shows the permissibility of dividing a single cloth as a shroud between two individuals

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:36.920
out of necessity,

00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.220
even if it covers only part of their bodies.

00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:43.120
It establishes that preference is given to the memorizer of the Qur'an;

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.319
and if they are equal in recitation,

00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.120
the oldest among them is given precedence,

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.519
showing that seniority holds a virtue.

00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.819
The hadith also prescribes burying the martyr in his blood.

00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:58.870
It indicates the legitimacy of acting upon an understandable gesture.

00:07:58.870 --> 00:08:00.870
Narrated 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir:

00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:03.569
The Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:08:03.569 --> 00:08:04.670
went out one day

00:08:04.670 --> 00:08:06.970
and prayed over the martyrs of Uhud

00:08:06.970 --> 00:08:09.699
as one prays over the deceased.

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:11.199
In another narration:

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.399
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, prayed

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.199
over those slain at Uhud

00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.399
eight years later,

00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.129
like someone bidding farewell to the living and the dead.

00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:25.430
Then he turned to the pulpit and said,

00:08:25.430 --> 00:08:27.629
"I shall precede you as your forerunner,

00:08:27.629 --> 00:08:30.329
and I am a witness over you.

00:08:30.329 --> 00:08:34.230
By Allah, I am indeed gazing at my Basin (Hawd) right now!

00:08:34.230 --> 00:08:37.929
I have been granted the keys to the treasures of the earth—

00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:40.559
or the keys of the earth.

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:45.559
By Allah, I do not fear that you will associate partners with Allah after me,

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:50.649
but I fear that you will vie with one another for worldly gain."

00:08:50.649 --> 00:08:52.279
In another narration,

00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:53.379
he said,

00:08:53.379 --> 00:09:01.110
"And that was the last look I ever took of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."

00:09:01.110 --> 00:09:04.330
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:09:04.330 --> 00:09:06.429
"Prayed over the deceased"

00:09:06.429 --> 00:09:09.690
refers to the standard funeral prayer.

00:09:09.690 --> 00:09:12.190
"Then he turned to the pulpit":

00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:13.289
what is meant

00:09:13.289 --> 00:09:16.149
is that he ascended the pulpit to deliver a sermon.

00:09:16.149 --> 00:09:18.250
"I shall precede you as your forerunner (farat)":

00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:19.350
the farat

00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:22.350
is the one who goes ahead of the arriving caravan

00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:26.740
in order to prepare the watering basins, buckets, and the like for them.

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:29.940
"I have been granted the keys to the treasures of the earth"

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:34.039
is an allusion to the realms conquered for his Ummah,

00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.539
whereby they acquired their spoils and possessed their treasures,

00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:40.600
such as the treasures of Chosroes and Caesar.

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:42.700
"That you will vie with one another for worldly gain"

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:44.600
means for the pleasures of this worldly life;

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:46.100
and worldly competition—

00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:49.820
meaning the covetous desire for something and the wish to monopolize it.

00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:53.379
Among the lessons derived from the hadith:

00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:57.779
The hadith indicates that the Basin is already created and exists today,

00:09:57.779 --> 00:09:59.980
and that it is real.

00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.580
The hadith is also among the signs of prophethood,

00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:08.779
as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw the Basin in this worldly life and informed others about it.

00:10:08.779 --> 00:10:14.879
It also shows that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was granted the keys to the treasures of the earth,

00:10:14.980 --> 00:10:17.919
and his Ummah took possession of them after him.

00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:21.320
The hadith also indicates that regarding the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them),

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.820
there was no fear of them falling into polytheism (shirk).

00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:28.419
It also demonstrates the permissibility of swearing an oath without being asked to swear.

00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:33.870
It also contains a warning against mutual envy and miserliness.

00:10:33.870 --> 00:10:37.850
Chapter: Sweet Rush (Idhkhir) and Grass in the Grave.

00:10:37.850 --> 00:10:41.649
On the authority of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said:

00:10:41.649 --> 00:10:46.649
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah:

00:10:46.649 --> 00:10:48.250
"There is no migration (Hijrah) [after the Conquest],

00:10:48.250 --> 00:10:51.149
but only jihad and righteous intention;

00:10:51.149 --> 00:10:54.379
and whenever you are called to arms, march forth.

00:10:54.379 --> 00:11:00.279
For this is a land that Allah sanctified the day He created the heavens and the earth,

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:05.240
and it remains sacred by Allah's sanctity until the Day of Resurrection.

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.639
Fighting in it was not made lawful for anyone before me,

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:14.460
and it was not made lawful for me except for a single hour of a day."

00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:15.960
In another narration:

00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.049
"...except for a brief moment of time.

00:11:19.049 --> 00:11:23.649
So it remains sacred by Allah's sanctity until the Day of Resurrection:

00:11:23.649 --> 00:11:25.549
its thorns shall not be lopped,

00:11:25.549 --> 00:11:27.750
its game shall not be chased away,

00:11:27.750 --> 00:11:32.509
its lost property shall not be picked up except by one who announces it publically."

00:11:32.509 --> 00:11:33.909
In another narration:

00:11:33.909 --> 00:11:36.110
"...except for one seeking its owner.

00:11:36.110 --> 00:11:39.200
And its fresh herbage shall not be cut."

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.799
Al-Abbas said,

00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.399
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.100
except for the sweet rush (idhkhir),

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:47.789
for it is used by their blacksmiths and for their homes."

00:11:47.789 --> 00:11:49.090
In another narration:

00:11:49.090 --> 00:11:52.379
"...for our goldsmiths and our graves."

00:11:52.379 --> 00:11:53.480
He said,

00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.879
He (the Prophet) said: "Except for the sweet rush."

00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.139
Commentary on the hadith:

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:01.340
"There is no migration"—

00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:03.169
meaning after the Conquest of Makkah.

00:12:03.169 --> 00:12:05.669
"And whenever you are called to arms, march forth"—

00:12:05.669 --> 00:12:10.500
meaning if the ruler calls you to go out on a military expedition, then go forth.

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:12.899
“Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart among the messengers (of old) had patience, and seek not to hasten on (the doom) for them. On the day when they see that which they are promised (it will seem to them) as though they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A clear message. Shall any be destroyed save evil-living folk?” (46:35)

00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:15.600
meaning a short period of time,

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.399
as it was only for part of a day,

00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.200
and not a full day.

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.000
"Its thorns shall not be lopped"—

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.799
meaning they shall not be cut.

00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:25.700
"Its game shall not be chased away"—

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:27.600
meaning it shall not be disturbed.

00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.700
And since disturbing it was prohibited,

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:33.220
actually hunting it is even more strictly forbidden.

00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:34.919
"One who announces it"—

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:36.820
meaning one who intends to proclaim it publically

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:39.519
until its rightful owner arrives.

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.620
"Its fresh herbage shall not be cut"—

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:44.350
meaning its green grass shall not be harvested.

00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:45.649
"Sweet rush" (al-idhkhir)

00:12:45.649 --> 00:12:48.480
is a pleasant-smelling plant.

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.980
"For their blacksmiths"—

00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:50.980
the *qayn*

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:52.879
means the blacksmith.

00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.480
"And for their homes"—

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.340
meaning for the roofs of their houses.

00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:00.970
Among the lessons derived from the hadith:

00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:03.070
It is deduced from the hadith

00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:07.570
that the sanctification and veneration of places is established by textual revelation, not by personal opinion.

00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:11.570
It also shows that unique privileges exclusive to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:13:11.570 --> 00:13:14.269
cannot be established except through explicit text.

00:13:14.269 --> 00:13:18.070
It also shows that Makkah has specific legal rulings unique to it,

00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:20.070
as certain things are forbidden within it

00:13:20.070 --> 00:13:23.370
that are not forbidden in any other land.

00:13:23.370 --> 00:13:26.769
It also proves that it is not permissible to cut the wild plants of Makkah

00:13:26.769 --> 00:13:29.970
that grow naturally, by scholarly consensus.

00:13:29.970 --> 00:13:31.669
The apparent wording of the hadith

00:13:31.669 --> 00:13:34.669
indicates that even harmful trees, like thorny ones,

00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:36.970
must not be cut down in the Sanctuary (Haram).

00:13:36.970 --> 00:13:39.070
It also demonstrates that lost property in the Haram

00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:42.769
differs in its rulings from lost property found in other lands.

00:13:42.769 --> 00:13:47.769
It also shows the permissibility of raising a query with a scholar regarding general public interests of the Shari'ah,

00:13:47.769 --> 00:13:52.169
and taking the initiative to do so even in public gatherings and assemblies.

00:13:52.169 --> 00:14:00.139
It also highlights the esteemed status of al-Abbas with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:01.340
Chapter:

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:06.149
May a Deceased Person Be Exhumed from the Grave and Niche for a Valid Reason?

00:14:06.149 --> 00:14:09.450
On the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:14:09.450 --> 00:14:11.250
When the Battle of Uhud was imminent,

00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:13.549
my father called me during the night

00:14:13.549 --> 00:14:14.850
and said:

00:14:14.850 --> 00:14:22.679
"I see myself only as one of the very first among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to be killed.

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.480
And truly, I leave behind no one dearer to me than you,

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.879
save the person of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.080
Indeed, I have debts upon me,

00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:34.279
so settle them,

00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.539
and look after your sisters well."

00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:39.139
When morning came,

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:41.740
he was the first to be slain,

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:44.940
and another man was buried along with him in a single grave.

00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:48.940
Then my heart did not feel at ease leaving him with the other person,

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:52.139
so I exhumed him after six months,

00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:55.639
and he was just as he had been on the day I placed him there, almost entirely intact,

00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.179
except for his ear.

00:14:58.179 --> 00:15:01.460
Commentary on the hadith:

00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:02.960
"I see myself"—

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.059
meaning: I expect.

00:15:05.059 --> 00:15:06.960
"Dearer to me than you"—

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.259
meaning more precious and beloved.

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:11.559
"Indeed, I have debts upon me"—

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.519
the debt was owed in dates to a Jewish man.

00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.320
"And look after your sisters well"—

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.519
he had nine sisters,

00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.820
and other numbers were also reported.

00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:23.120
"The other man"

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:27.580
was Amr ibn al-Jamuh al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:30.080
"Just as he had been on the day I placed him there, almost entirely intact"—

00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:31.980
meaning nearly unchanged.

00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:33.379
"Except for his ear"—

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:35.730
meaning it had slightly altered.

00:15:35.730 --> 00:15:39.299
Among the lessons derived from the hadith:

00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:41.299
It is deduced from the hadith

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:46.200
that making a will is strongly encouraged for one who anticipates their demise.

00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.200
It also demonstrates the intense love the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)

00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.399
held for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.100
and how they prioritized loving him (peace be upon him)

00:15:57.100 --> 00:16:00.100
over loving parent and child.

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:02.600
It also includes the exhortation to treat sisters well.

00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:09.110
The hadith also indicates that the earth does not consume the body of a martyr.

00:16:09.110 --> 00:16:12.110
Chapter: If a Child Accepts Islam and Dies,

00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:14.009
Is the Funeral Prayer Performed for Him,

00:16:14.009 --> 00:16:17.720
and Is Islam to Be Presented to a Child?

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.820
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar,

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:21.519
that Umar ibn al-Khattab

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.419
set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:29.320
in a small group of his Companions toward Ibn Sayyad,

00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.419
until he found him playing with the boys

00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:35.019
near the fortress of Banu Maghalah.

00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:38.820
Ibn Sayyad had by then nearly reached the age of puberty.

00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:43.419
He did not notice anything until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) struck

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:45.320
his back with his hand,

00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:46.919
then said,

00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.820
"Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?"

00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:52.220
He looked at him and said,

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:55.759
"I bear witness that you are the Messenger of the unlettered people."

00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.059
Then Ibn Sayyad said,

00:16:58.059 --> 00:17:00.860
"Do you bear witness that I am the messenger of Allah?"

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:04.660
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) rejected him.

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:06.059
In another narration:

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:07.589
"...so he dismissed him,"

00:17:07.589 --> 00:17:08.990
and then said,

00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:11.880
"I believe in Allah and His messengers."

00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.180
Then he said to Ibn Sayyad,

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:15.980
"What do you see?"

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:16.980
He said,

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:20.119
"There comes to me a truth-teller and a liar."

00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.720
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.269
"The matter has been confounded for you."

00:17:26.269 --> 00:17:29.869
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

00:17:29.869 --> 00:17:33.099
"I have concealed something in my mind for you."

00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:34.299
He said,

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:35.940
"It is al-Dukh (the smoke)."

00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:37.039
He said,

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.039
"Be gone!

00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.539
You will never exceed your limit!"

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:41.839
Umar said,

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.539
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:46.839
permit me to strike his neck!"

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.440
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.799
"If he is indeed him (the Dajjal), you will not be given power over him."

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.299
In another narration:

00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:56.400
"Leave him alone!

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.680
If he is indeed him, you are no match for him;

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.579
and if he is not him,

00:18:01.579 --> 00:18:04.579
there is no good for you in killing him."

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:06.779
Abdullah ibn Umar said:

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:11.480
After that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) set out

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.279
along with Ubayy ibn Ka'b al-Ansari,

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.980
heading toward the date-palm grove where Ibn Sayyad was.

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:22.480
When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered,

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.579
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began

00:18:25.579 --> 00:18:28.180
taking cover behind the date-palm trunks,

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:31.880
seeking stealthily to hear something from Ibn Sayyad

00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:33.900
before he saw him.

00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:41.960
Ibn Sayyad was lying on his bed wrapped in a plush garment, producing a murmur or low hum.

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.359
In another narration:

00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.059
"...a murmur or whispering sound."

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:50.759
The mother of Ibn Sayyad saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.660
while he was taking cover behind the date-palm trunks,

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:55.960
so she called out to Ibn Sayyad,

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:57.359
"O Saf!"—

00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.759
which was his name—

00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.759
"Here is Muhammad!"

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.319
Upon that, Ibn Sayyad sprang up.

00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.920
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.880
"Had she left him alone, he would have made matters clear."

00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:11.710
Abdullah said:

00:19:11.710 --> 00:19:16.109
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up among the people,

00:19:16.109 --> 00:19:19.309
praised Allah as He deserves to be praised,

00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:21.710
Then he mentioned the Dajjal (Antichrist),

00:19:21.710 --> 00:19:23.109
and said,

00:19:23.109 --> 00:19:25.509
"I warn you of him!

00:19:25.509 --> 00:19:29.940
There is no prophet but that he warned his people against him;

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:33.410
Noah warned his people against him,

00:19:33.410 --> 00:19:39.299
but I shall tell you something about him that no prophet ever told his people:

00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:41.799
You know that he is one-eyed,

00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.480
and that Allah is not one-eyed."

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.640
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:49.740
"A small group" (*raht*)

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:52.430
refers to a group of men fewer than ten.

00:19:52.430 --> 00:19:54.230
"In front of Ibn Sayyad,"

00:19:54.230 --> 00:19:55.990
meaning toward his direction.

00:19:55.990 --> 00:19:58.190
"In the fortress of Banu Maghalah"—

00:19:58.190 --> 00:20:00.089
*Uturn* (fortress) is like a citadel,

00:20:00.089 --> 00:20:01.589
and Banu Maghalah

00:20:01.589 --> 00:20:04.049
is a clan of the Ansar.

00:20:04.049 --> 00:20:07.250
"Ibn Sayyad had reached puberty by then,"

00:20:07.250 --> 00:20:09.950
meaning he was close to the age of maturity.

00:20:09.950 --> 00:20:12.049
"The Messenger of the unlettered,"

00:20:12.049 --> 00:20:15.049
referring by "unlettered" to the polytheists of the Arabs,

00:20:15.049 --> 00:20:17.619
who could neither read nor write.

00:20:17.619 --> 00:20:18.920
"He pushed him back,"

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.220
meaning he shoved him until he fell and was injured.

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:23.319
It was also said

00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.640
to mean he squeezed and pressed him.

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.140
"What do you see?"

00:20:27.140 --> 00:20:29.339
meaning, "What comes to you [of revelations]?"

00:20:29.339 --> 00:20:31.339
"The matter has become confused to you,"

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:37.529
meaning, "Your devil has mixed up what he eavesdrops for you with what he fabricates."

00:20:37.529 --> 00:20:39.630
"I have hidden something secret for you,"

00:20:39.630 --> 00:20:41.930
meaning, "I have concealed something in my mind for you to guess."

00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:45.160
What was concealed was Surah ad-Dukhan (The Smoke).

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:46.259
"Al-Dukh,"

00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:48.059
meaning smoke (*ad-dukhan*).

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:49.059
"Away with you!"

00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:51.960
meaning, "Be quiet, humiliated and banished!"

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:53.859
"You will never surpass your rank,"

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:55.559
because you are merely a soothsayer,

00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:58.819
and you will never transcend the capacity of soothsayers.

00:20:58.819 --> 00:21:00.319
"If he is the one,"

00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.019
meaning the Dajjal,

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:04.119
"you will not be given power over him,"

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.160
because the one who will slay him is Jesus, peace be upon him.

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.960
"O mothers of the date palms!"

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.420
meaning that they were heading toward the date palm trees.

00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:13.619
"He began" (*tafiqa*),

00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:15.720
meaning he took to and commenced doing so.

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:17.019
"Taking cover,"

00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:18.750
meaning hiding himself.

00:21:18.750 --> 00:21:19.950
"Slinking stealthily,"

00:21:19.950 --> 00:21:25.279
meaning hiding in the hope of hearing something that would clarify the true nature of Ibn Sayyad.

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.680
"In a velvet cloak,"

00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:28.980
meaning a plush garment.

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:31.779
"From which a low murmuring sound came,"

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:33.980
*Ramramah* and *zamzamah*

00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:35.380
mean a faint voice

00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:39.740
produced by moving the lips with incomprehensible speech.

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.740
"Then Ibn Sayyad ceased,"

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:44.369
meaning he stopped murmuring.

00:21:44.369 --> 00:21:46.470
"If she had left him alone, it would have been made clear,"

00:21:46.470 --> 00:21:49.569
meaning if Ibn Sayyad's mother had left her son alone,

00:21:49.569 --> 00:21:54.099
he would have revealed to us that by which we might learn his true nature.

00:21:54.099 --> 00:21:55.599
"I warn you of him,"

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.190
meaning I caution you against him.

00:21:58.190 --> 00:22:00.690
"You know that he is one-eyed"—

00:22:00.690 --> 00:22:01.890
a one-eyed person

00:22:01.890 --> 00:22:05.170
is one who has lost one of his eyes.

00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:08.799
Among the benefits of this hadith:

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:13.799
The hadith contains an indication not to be overly definitive in applying hadiths of trials (*fitan*)

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:18.200
and end-time hadiths to specific real-world events and individuals.

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:22.500
This is derived from the statement of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:24.299
"If he is the one."

00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:27.099
It shows that jinn lie to soothsayers,

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:29.799
as the default state of soothsayers is falsehood.

00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.599
The hadith highlights the importance of verifying matters before acting.

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.500
It contains a prohibition against deeming inviolable blood permissible to shed.

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:40.599
It demonstrates the virtue of 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.500
as well as his firmness and strength in religion.

00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:46.400
It warns against impostors and deceivers.

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:50.599
The hadith shows that the Dajjal will claim divinity,

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:54.500
and that he will be given supernatural feats through which he will mislead people—

00:22:54.500 --> 00:22:56.000
except for his eye,

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.799
which he will be unable to restore to health.

00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:02.599
The hadith indicates that all the prophets, peace be upon them,

00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:05.799
warned against the Dajjal and his trial.

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:09.000
It shows that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:13.000
described him in precise detail so that people might beware of him.

00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:19.920
The hadith affirms the exaltation of Allah Almighty above all attributes of deficiency.

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.119
Narrated Anas, may Allah be pleased with him:

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:28.720
A young Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.920
and he fell ill.

00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.220
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came to visit him,

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:36.319
sat by his head,

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.119
and said to him, "Embrace Islam."

00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:41.920
The boy looked at his father, who was sitting beside him,

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:47.519
and the father said, "Obey Abul-Qasim," peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:49.119
So the boy embraced Islam.

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.720
The Prophet, peace be upon him, left saying,

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:58.430
"Praise be to Allah Who has saved him from the Fire!"

00:23:58.430 --> 00:24:01.680
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:03.980
"A young Jewish boy"—

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:06.680
it was said that his name was 'Abd al-Quddus.

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.980
"To visit him"—

00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:11.700
*'Iyadah* refers specifically to visiting the sick.

00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:15.000
"Praise be to Allah Who has saved him from the Fire,"

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.619
meaning delivered and rescued him from Hellfire.

00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:22.440
Among the benefits of this hadith:

00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:24.539
Derived from this hadith is

00:24:24.539 --> 00:24:29.839
a demonstration of the perfection of the Prophet's compassion, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, toward all creation.

00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:32.839
It establishes the permissibility of visiting non-Muslim subjects under Islamic rule (*ahl al-dhimmah*) when sick,

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.339
in order to showcase the beauty of Islam

00:24:35.339 --> 00:24:38.039
and to incline their hearts toward Islam.

00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.640
It guides toward good neighborliness and honoring treaties.

00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:47.619
It permits employing non-Muslims and minors.

00:24:47.619 --> 00:24:51.019
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both,

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:52.519
in a narration:

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:59.519
He recited: "Except the oppressed among men, women, and children."

00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:00.720
He said:

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.460
"My mother and I were among the oppressed."

00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:05.859
In another narration:

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:08.259
"among men and women."

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:09.859
In yet another narration:

00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:13.650
"My mother and I were among those whom Allah excused;

00:25:13.650 --> 00:25:15.549
I was among the children,

00:25:15.549 --> 00:25:18.779
and my mother was among the women."

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:22.190
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:25:22.190 --> 00:25:28.630
"My mother and I"—his mother was Lubabah bint al-Harith al-Hilaliyyah, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:25:29.430 --> 00:25:36.069
"Among the oppressed"—they were those who embraced Islam in Mecca and were prevented by the polytheists from emigrating,

00:25:36.670 --> 00:25:41.829
remaining among them helpless and enduring severe harm.

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:45.259
Among the benefits of this hadith:

00:25:46.869 --> 00:25:52.150
Derived from the hadith is a demonstration of the virtue of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both.

00:25:52.630 --> 00:25:57.230
The hadith indicates that obligations are waived in cases of incapacity and weakness.

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:02.019
Narrated Abu Hurairah:

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:05.700
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:09.859
"No child is born except upon the natural disposition (*fitrah*),

00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:13.730
but his parents turn him into a Jew or a Christian."

00:26:14.250 --> 00:26:15.369
In a narration:

00:26:15.690 --> 00:26:17.250
"or a Zoroastrian,

00:26:17.769 --> 00:26:19.890
just as a livestock animal gives birth to an offspring..."

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:21.539
In another narration:

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:25.299
"just as a livestock animal gives birth to a whole, sound offspring—

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:28.380
do you find any part of it mutilated,

00:26:29.170 --> 00:26:32.089
until you yourselves mutilate it?"

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:33.740
In a narration:

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:37.220
Then Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, would recite:

00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:41.460
"The natural disposition of Allah upon which He has created mankind..."

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:44.099
“So set thy purpose (O Muhammad) for religion as a man by nature upright - the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not -” (30:30)

00:26:44.619 --> 00:26:46.579
"...that is the correct religion."

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:49.380
They said, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:52.539
what about those who die while they are young?"

00:26:53.299 --> 00:26:53.900
He said:

00:26:54.500 --> 00:26:57.539
"Allah knows best what they would have done."

00:26:59.019 --> 00:27:01.180
Commentary on the Hadith:

00:27:02.230 --> 00:27:03.109
"Upon the natural disposition (*fitrah*)":

00:27:03.670 --> 00:27:05.190
The linguistic origin of *fitrah*

00:27:05.549 --> 00:27:06.910
is the initial state of creation.

00:27:07.589 --> 00:27:10.990
Allah has placed in the hearts of all creation an inclination

00:27:10.990 --> 00:27:13.829
toward the outward and inward rulings of the sacred law,

00:27:14.509 --> 00:27:17.750
and He has placed in their hearts a love for the truth and a preference for it—

00:27:18.390 --> 00:27:20.309
this is the true reality of *fitrah*.

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:23.420
"They turn him into a Jew or a Christian,"

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:28.940
meaning they divert him from the *fitrah* by raising him as a Jew or a Christian.

00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:31.339
"A livestock animal gives birth to an offspring,"

00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:34.299
meaning one that is whole and free of defects.

00:27:35.089 --> 00:27:36.009
"Mutilated,"

00:27:36.529 --> 00:27:38.009
meaning with its ear cut off.

00:27:38.769 --> 00:27:39.890
"You mutilate it,"

00:27:40.369 --> 00:27:42.049
meaning you slice its ear.

00:27:42.849 --> 00:27:44.490
"What they would have done,"

00:27:45.049 --> 00:27:47.930
meaning had they reached the age of reason and puberty.

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.579
"Whole and sound,"

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:51.779
meaning healthy and free from defects.

00:27:52.990 --> 00:27:55.109
Among the benefits of this hadith:

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:58.019
Derived from the hadith is

00:27:58.619 --> 00:28:02.579
that Judaism and Christianity are not religions of the primordial natural disposition (*fitrah*).

00:28:03.299 --> 00:28:08.980
The hadith highlights the importance of caring for children's creed and the soundness of their *fitrah*.

00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:13.799
It establishes the lawfulness of drawing analogies from tangible reality for clarification.

00:28:14.549 --> 00:28:17.670
The hadith affirms divine knowledge for Allah Almighty,

00:28:18.069 --> 00:28:20.069
the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed.
