on that day gained Juwayriyah. 00:00:50.329 --> 00:00:53.130 This was narrated to me by 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, 00:00:53.130 --> 00:00:56.799 who was in that army. 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.979

war. 00:01:35.049 --> 00:01:38.650 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:42.650 I have never ceased to love Banu Tamim since three things

Mudar. 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.159 "A captive woman from them" 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.360 means: from Banu Tamim 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:49.960 "in the possession of 'A'ishah" 00:02:49.960 -->

00:03:00.030 --> 00:03:04.229 that it is encouraged to offer the best in manumission and charity. 00:03:04.229 --> 00:03:08.229 In the hadith is an immense virtue of Banu Tamim. 00:03:08.229 --> 00:03:11.229 It also contains foretelling about the Dajjal, 00:03:11.229 --> 00:03:16.759 as well as guiding one's family to noble matters. 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:22.340 Chapter: When a Slave Worships

00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:09.270 and is accountable for what has been placed in his care. 00:04:09.270 --> 00:04:13.270 It also highlights excelling in worship through sincerity and adherence to the

00:04:30.939 were it not for jihad in the cause of Allah, 00:04:30.939 --> 00:04:33.939 Hajj, and devotion to my mother, 00:04:33.939 --> 00:04:36.939 I would have loved to die as a slave." 00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:40.420 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:43.899 "The righteous enslaved servant": 00:04:43.899 --> 00:04:46.899 that is, in worshipping his Lord and acting

obligated to perform jihad, 00:05:16.269 --> 00:05:18.269 unless it becomes an individual obligation. 00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:22.269 It also demonstrates the permissibility of swearing an oath without being asked to do so. 00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:28.129 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 00:05:28.129 --> 00:05:31.129 The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah

Overbearing Conduct Toward Slaves, 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:07.480 And Saying: 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.480 "My Male Slave" or "My Female Slave." 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.060 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), 00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:17.060 who narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:19.060 that he said: 00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:21.060 "None of you should say: 00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:23.060 'Feed your lord,' 00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:24.060 'Help your lord perform ablution,' 00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:26.060 or 'Give drink to your lord.' 00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:27.060 Rather, let him say: 00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:30.060 'My master' or 'my patron.' 00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:32.060 And none of you should say:

00:06:59.529 that overbearing conduct toward slaves is disliked. 00:06:59.529 --> 00:07:03.529 It also conveys the dislike of using the term "rabb" (lord) for a human master, 00:07:03.529 --> 00:07:06.529 since man is a created servant who is required 00:07:06.529 --> 00:07:08.529 to dedicate pure monotheism to his Creator, 00:07:08.529 --> 00:07:11.560 so it is disliked for him to rival Him in this designation. 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.560 It also indicates the obligation of venerating Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.560 and declaring His transcendence. 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:22.639 It also conveys the prohibition of words that lead to unlawful connotations. 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:27.089 Chapter: When One's Servant Brings Him His Food. 00:07:27.089

morsels, 00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:43.089 or a bite or two bites, 00:07:43.089 --> 00:07:47.089 for he has taken upon himself its heat and preparation." 00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:50.889 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:07:50.889 --> 00:07:52.889 "If he does not seat him with him" 00:07:52.889 --> 00:07:54.889 means: at his dining table. 00:07:54.889 --> 00:07:55.889 "Let him give him" 00:07:55.889 -->

hardship of cooking it. 00:08:11.209 --> 00:08:15.040 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.040 It is derived from the hadith 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.040 that noble manners are strongly encouraged. 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.040 It also shows the recommendation of sharing food, 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.040 especially with the person who prepared and carried it, 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.040 because he bore its heat and smoke, 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:34.830 his soul longed for it, and he smelled its aroma. 00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:36.830 Chapter: When Striking a Slave,

Commentary on the Hadith: 00:08:54.340 --> 00:08:56.340 "Fights" means strikes. 00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:58.340 "Let him avoid the face" 00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:01.620 means: let him beware of striking

disciplinary measures, chastisement, and prescribed legal punishments applies a fortiori. 00:09:13.389 --> 00:09:20.139 It also indicates the legitimacy of disciplining a servant and the like.

00:09:46.179 "O Muslim women, 00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:49.179 let no female neighbor look down upon a gift from her neighbor, 00:09:49.179 --> 00:09:51.179 even if it is merely the trotter of a sheep." 00:09:51.179 --> 00:09:54.980 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:59.529 "Let her not look down upon," meaning: do not belittle it or deem it insignificant. 00:09:59.529 --> 00:10:03.909

emphasizes avoiding extravagance or burdening oneself in gift-giving. 00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:21.620 It furthermore provides guidance on maintaining good neighborly relations. 00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:26.539 On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), 00:10:26.539 --> 00:10:28.539 that she said to 'Urwah, 00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:30.539 "O my nephew, 00:10:30.539 --> 00:10:34.539 we used to sight the crescent moon, then the next crescent moon, 00:10:34.539 --> 00:10:37.539 three crescents across two full months, 00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:42.539 without a single fire ever being kindled in the homes of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)." 00:10:42.539 --> 00:10:45.539 I said, "O maternal aunt, 00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:47.539 on what did you sustain yourselves?" 00:10:47.539 --> 00:10:50.539 She replied, "The two black staples: 00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:52.539 dates and water; 00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:56.539 though in another narration: 'unless we were gifted some modest meat.' 00:10:56.539 --> 00:11:02.659 Except that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had neighbors among the Ansar 00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:04.659 who owned milch animals, 00:11:04.659 --> 00:11:10.659 and they would send the Messenger of Allah some of their milk." 00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:15.340 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:11:15.340 --> 00:11:18.980 "Three crescents across two full months": 00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:22.980 this is counted by sighting the crescent at the start of the first month, 00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:25.980 then sighting it at the start of the second month, 00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:29.980 and then sighting it at the start of the third month. 00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:32.980 Thus, three crescents were truly sighted, 00:11:32.980 --> 00:11:35.980 though the total duration elapsed was sixty days. 00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:38.039 "Without a single fire ever being kindled" 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.039 is a metonymy for not cooking any food. 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.039 "On what did you sustain yourselves?" 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.039 Meaning: what was your sustenance and nourishment? 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.039 "Milch animals" (*mana'ih*): 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.039 a *manihah* 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:49.039 is a she-camel or a ewe 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:53.039 that a man lends to another to milk and then return. 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.039 "They would send" (*yamnahun*), 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.039 meaning: they would give. 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.169 Key Benefits of the Hadith: 00:12:00.169 --> 00:12:02.940 Derived from this hadith is: 00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:06.940 An illustration of the Prophet's asceticism (*zuhd*) regarding worldly life, 00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:08.940 his contentment with mere bare subsistence, 00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:11.940 and his preference for the Hereafter over this world. 00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:15.940 The hadith also serves as proof for those who deem poverty preferable to wealth. 00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:18.940 It illustrates the virtue of lending milch animals (*al-manihah*). 00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:21.940 It provides guidance on caring for one's neighbors 00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:23.940 and checking upon their welfare. 00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:29.529 Chapter on Modest Gifts 00:12:29.529 --> 00:12:31.529 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), 00:12:31.529 --> 00:12:35.529 from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: 00:12:35.529 --> 00:12:38.529 "If I were invited to a meal of a shoulder or a trotter, 00:12:38.529 --> 00:12:39.529 I would surely accept; 00:12:39.529 --> 00:12:44.529 and if a shoulder or a trotter were gifted to me, I would surely accept it." 00:12:44.529 --> 00:12:47.879 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.259 "Shoulder" refers to the shoulder of a sheep, 00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:53.259 and the shoulder is among the prime cuts of meat. 00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:58.259 "Trotter" refers to the lower extremity of the sheep's leg, 00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:00.259 which has very little meat on it. 00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:04.259 Key Benefits of the Hadith: 00:13:04.259 --> 00:13:06.259 Derived from this hadith is: 00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:09.259 A demonstration of his remarkable humility (peace be upon him). 00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:12.259 It also highlights the recommendation to accept an invitation, 00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:14.259 even if it is for a modest amount of food. 00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:17.259 It furthermore demonstrates the recommendation to accept gifts. 00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:21.919 Chapter on Accepting Gifts of Game Meat 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.340 On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:29.370 "We flushed a hare at Marr al-Zahran, 00:13:29.370 --> 00:13:31.370 and the people pursued it until they grew exhausted. 00:13:31.370 --> 00:13:34.370 I caught up with it and captured it, 00:13:34.370 --> 00:13:37.370 then brought it to Abu Talhah. 00:13:37.370 --> 00:13:38.370 He slaughtered it 00:13:38.370 --> 00:13:42.370 and sent its haunch—or its two thighs— 00:13:42.370 --> 00:13:45.370 to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 00:13:45.370 --> 00:13:46.370 and he accepted it." 00:13:46.370 --> 00:13:49.370 I asked, "And did he eat from it?" 00:13:49.370 --> 00:13:51.370 He said, "Yes, he ate from it," 00:13:51.370 --> 00:13:54.370 and then confirmed after that: "He accepted it." 00:13:54.370 --> 00:13:58.139 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:13:58.139 --> 00:14:02.710 "We flushed," meaning: we startled it and roused it from its place. 00:14:02.710 --> 00:14:04.840 "At Marr al-Zahran": 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:06.840 this is a valley in the Hijaz 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:11.840 located twenty-two kilometers north of Mecca. 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.840 "Until they grew exhausted," meaning: they became fatigued from running. 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.840 "I caught up with it," meaning: I overtook it. 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.840 "And captured it," meaning: I caught it while it was still alive. 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:27.840 "Its haunch" (*warik*): the haunch is the part above the thigh. 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.289 Key Benefits of the Hadith: 00:14:31.289 --> 00:14:34.309 Derived from this hadith is: 00:14:34.309 --> 00:14:36.309 The permissibility of pursuing game, 00:14:36.309 --> 00:14:39.309 provided that the pursuit of game does not distract one so much 00:14:39.309 --> 00:14:44.309 that it leads to missing the prayer or neglecting other religious and worldly obligations. 00:14:44.309 --> 00:14:47.309 When a group pursues game, 00:14:47.309 --> 00:14:50.309 whichever individual reaches it and captures it 00:14:50.309 --> 00:14:51.309 becomes its sole owner, 00:14:51.309 --> 00:14:55.309 and those who merely participated in the chase have no share in it. 00:14:55.309 --> 00:15:00.409 It is entirely permissible for a person to gift a modest item to a companion, 00:15:00.409 --> 00:15:03.409 even if the recipient is of high stature, 00:15:03.409 --> 00:15:07.409 provided it is known that the recipient would welcome it from him. 00:15:07.409 --> 00:15:10.500 It also establishes the permissibility of eating hare meat. 00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:14.679 Chapter on Accepting Gifts 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.970 On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), 00:15:17.970 --> 00:15:20.970 that the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) 00:15:20.970 --> 00:15:22.970 were divided into two groups: 00:15:22.970 --> 00:15:25.970 one group comprised 'A'ishah, Hafsah, 00:15:25.970 --> 00:15:27.970 Safiyyah, and Sawdah; 00:15:27.970 --> 00:15:29.970 while the other group 00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:30.970 comprised Umm Salamah 00:15:30.970 --> 00:15:34.970 and the rest of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 00:15:34.970 --> 00:15:40.970 The Muslims were well aware of the Messenger of Allah's deep love for 'A'ishah, 00:15:40.970 --> 00:15:43.970 so whenever any of them had a gift 00:15:43.970 --> 00:15:48.970 that he wished to present to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:54.970 he would hold it back until the Messenger of Allah was at 'A'ishah's house; 00:15:54.970 --> 00:16:01.970 then the owner of the gift would send it to the Messenger of Allah while he was at 'A'ishah's house. 00:16:01.970 --> 00:16:04.059 In another narration: 00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:09.059 "The people used to choose 'A'ishah's day for sending their gifts, 00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:16.220 seeking thereby the pleasure of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)." 00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:20.220 Thereupon, the group of Umm Salamah spoke and said to her, 00:16:20.220 --> 00:16:25.220 "Speak to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) so that he may tell the people: 00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:31.220 'Whoever wishes to present a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:35.220 let him send it to him wherever he may be among the homes of his wives.'" 00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:39.289 So Umm Salamah spoke to him as they had requested, 00:16:39.289 --> 00:16:41.289 but he said nothing to her. 00:16:41.289 --> 00:16:45.289 They asked her, and she replied, "He said nothing to me." 00:16:45.289 --> 00:16:48.289 They said to her, "Speak to him again." 00:16:48.289 --> 00:16:53.289 She said: "So I spoke to him again when his turn brought him back to my room, 00:16:53.289 --> 00:16:55.289 but he said nothing to me." 00:16:55.289 --> 00:17:00.289 They asked her, and she replied, "He said nothing to me." 00:17:00.289 --> 00:17:04.289 They said to her, "Keep speaking to him until he gives you an answer." 00:17:04.289 --> 00:17:07.289 So when his turn brought him to her again, she spoke to him, 00:17:07.289 --> 00:17:11.289 and he said to her, "Do not distress me concerning 'A'ishah, 00:17:11.289 --> 00:17:17.289 for revelation has never descended upon me while under the garment of any woman except 'A'ishah." 00:17:17.289 --> 00:17:21.480 In another narration: "For by Allah, revelation has never descended upon me 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.480 while under the blanket of any woman among you other than her." 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:31.609 She replied, "I repent to Allah from distressing you, O Messenger of Allah." 00:17:31.609 --> 00:17:37.700 Then they summoned Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:42.700 and she sent word to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), saying: 00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:47.700 "Your wives adjure you by Allah to maintain equity regarding the daughter of Abu Bakr." 00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:50.700 She spoke to him, and he said, 00:17:50.700 --> 00:17:54.700 "O my dear daughter, do you not love what I love?" 00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:56.700 She replied, "Yes, indeed." 00:17:56.700 --> 00:17:59.700 So she returned to them and informed them, 00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.700 but they said, 00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:02.700 "Go back to him!" 00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:04.700 However, she refused to go back. 00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:06.700 So they sent Zaynab bint Jahsh, 00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:08.700 who came to him and spoke harshly, 00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:10.700 saying: 00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:15.700 "Your wives adjure you by Allah to maintain equity regarding the daughter of Ibn Abi Quhafah!" 00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:19.700 She raised her voice until she turned upon 'A'ishah, who was sitting there, 00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:21.700 and reviled her, 00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:26.700 to the point that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) began looking at 'A'ishah 00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:28.700 to see whether she would respond. 00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:29.700 She said: 00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:34.700 "So 'A'ishah spoke, answering Zaynab until she silenced her." 00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:36.769 She said: 00:18:36.769 --> 00:18:40.769 "Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) looked at 'A'ishah 00:18:40.769 --> 00:18:41.769 and said, 00:18:41.769 --> 00:18:44.769 'She is indeed the daughter of Abu Bakr!'" 00:18:44.769 --> 00:18:49.339 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:51.339 "Wives," meaning his spouses. 00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:54.339 "Two groups," meaning two factions, 00:18:54.339 --> 00:18:58.339 each faction rallying in support of its members. 00:18:58.339 --> 00:19:02.400 The other group consisted of five women: 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.400 Umm Salamah and the rest of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.400 namely: Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.400 Maymunah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:19.400 Umm Habibah Ramlah bint Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with her), 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.400 and Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her). 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.589 "He would hold it back," meaning: he deferred it until that intended time. 00:19:27.589 --> 00:19:31.619 "He said nothing to her," meaning: he gave no reply. 00:19:31.619 --> 00:19:33.619 "When his turn brought him back to her," 00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:36.619 meaning: on her assigned day in her house. 00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:39.619 "They used to choose" (*yataharrawna*), meaning: they deliberately aimed for. 00:19:39.619 --> 00:19:43.619 *Taharrī* signifies deliberate intent, striving towards an aim, 00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:47.619 and resolving to single out a matter in deed and word. 00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:51.880 "Until he gives you an answer," meaning: until he delivers a response. 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:58.880 "Then they," referring to the other group among the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him), 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.880 "summoned," meaning: they called upon her. 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.880 "She sent word," meaning: she dispatched a message. 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.880 "Your wives," referring to Umm Salamah and those with her. 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:13.880 "Adjure you by Allah," meaning: they entreat you by Allah. 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:20.880 "Equity," meaning: equal treatment between them and 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) in all matters. 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:22.910 "O my dear daughter" (*yā bunayyah*): 00:20:22.910 --> 00:20:24.910 this is a diminutive of affection and endearment. 00:20:24.910 --> 00:20:26.910 "However, she refused to go back," 00:20:26.910 --> 00:20:30.910 meaning: she declined to return to the Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:20:30.910 --> 00:20:32.910 to ask him for that again. 00:20:32.910 --> 00:20:35.980 "So she came," meaning: she arrived. 00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:40.980 "And spoke harshly," meaning: she was severe in her words and in demanding equal treatment. 00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:44.039 "She turned upon," meaning: she confronted. 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:48.069 "So she verbally attacked her," meaning she scolded and refuted her. 00:20:48.069 --> 00:20:50.069 "Indeed, she is the daughter of Abu Bakr." 00:20:50.069 --> 00:20:55.069 Meaning that she is noble, intelligent, and insightful just like her father. 00:20:55.069 --> 00:20:56.069 And it was said: 00:20:56.069 --> 00:21:01.460 Its meaning is that she possesses a sharper understanding and a keener insight than her. 00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:05.319 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:07.319 It is derived from the hadith: 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:13.319 The permissibility of seeking out occasions and places pleasing to the recipient to offer gifts, 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.319 In order to increase their joy through that. 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:20.319 And in it is a clarification of the virtue of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:25.319 And in it is that jealousy is a natural disposition, so long as it does not lead to something unlawful. 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:28.319 And in it is the recommendation of treating women gently, 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:31.319 And being considerate of a woman in her state of jealousy. 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:37.380 And the hadith indicates that a jealous woman is not held accountable for what she says in such moments. 00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:42.450 And in it is that a man may remain silent when his wives argue with one another, 00:21:42.450 --> 00:21:45.450 And he should not take sides against any of them. 00:21:45.450 --> 00:21:49.450 And in it is the permissibility of voicing a grievance and sending messengers regarding it. 00:21:49.450 --> 00:21:53.450 And in it is the permissibility of sending an intercessor and intermediary to convey a grievance. 00:21:53.450 --> 00:21:58.450 And in it is what the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, maintained 00:21:58.450 --> 00:22:01.450 Of deep reverence and modesty before him, 00:22:01.450 --> 00:22:04.450 To the extent that they sent the dearest of people to him, 00:22:04.450 --> 00:22:07.450 Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her. 00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:11.509 And in it is the boldness of Zaynab bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, 00:22:11.509 --> 00:22:13.509 With the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:22:13.509 --> 00:22:16.509 Because she was his cousin, 00:22:16.509 --> 00:22:20.509 As her mother was Umaymah bint 'Abd al-Muttalib. 00:22:20.509 --> 00:22:24.539 And the hadith indicates the Prophet's excusing 00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:27.539 Zaynab, may Allah be pleased with her, 00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:31.539 For he did not hold her to account for the jealousy that overtook her. 00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:35.539 And in it is that justice between wives pertains to actions; 00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:38.539 As for love, it is beyond religious obligation, 00:22:38.539 --> 00:22:41.539 Because one has no control over it. 00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:45.539 And the hadith indicates the virtue of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:48.539 And in it is the permissibility of retaliating in kind, 00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:51.539 Just as 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, did. 00:22:51.539 --> 00:22:56.539 And the hadith points to giving precedence to the love of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:22:56.539 --> 00:22:58.539 Above all else. 00:22:58.539 --> 00:23:03.369 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with both of them, who said: 00:23:03.369 --> 00:23:06.369 Umm Hufayd— 00:23:06.369 --> 00:23:10.369 Ibn 'Abbas's maternal aunt—gifted to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:23:10.369 --> 00:23:12.369 Some dried curd and clarified butter, 00:23:12.369 --> 00:23:14.369 And in another narration: 00:23:14.369 --> 00:23:15.369 Milk, 00:23:15.369 --> 00:23:17.369 And spiny-tailed lizards. 00:23:17.369 --> 00:23:20.430 So the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, ate 00:23:20.430 --> 00:23:22.430 From the dried curd and clarified butter, 00:23:22.430 --> 00:23:24.430 And left the spiny-tailed lizard out of personal distaste. 00:23:24.430 --> 00:23:26.460 Ibn 'Abbas said: 00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:31.460 "So it was eaten at the dining sheet of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him; 00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:33.460 And had it been unlawful, 00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:38.460 It would not have been eaten at the dining sheet of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him." 00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:40.460 In another narration: 00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:42.460 "Nor would he have commanded that they be eaten." 00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:45.940 Commentary on the hadith: 00:23:45.940 --> 00:23:48.329 "Umm Hufayd": 00:23:48.329 --> 00:23:51.329 Her name was Huzaylah bint

00:24:12.940 Meaning that his soul had an aversion to it. 00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:15.769 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:24:15.769 --> 00:24:17.769 It is derived from the hadith: 00:24:17.769 --> 00:24:19.769 The permissibility of eating the spiny-tailed lizard. 00:24:19.769 --> 00:24:24.769 And in it is that a person is permitted to feel personal distaste toward what is not unlawful for them, 00:24:24.769 --> 00:24:27.769 Due to being unaccustomed to eating it. 00:24:27.769 --> 00:24:32.849 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:24:32.849 -->

00:24:47.849 "Eat," and he would not eat. 00:24:47.849 --> 00:24:49.849 But if it was said, "A gift," 00:24:49.849 --> 00:24:52.849 He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would reach out with his hand 00:24:52.849 --> 00:24:55.619 And eat with them. 00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:59.059 Commentary on the hadith: 00:24:59.059 --> 00:25:00.059 "He would" (kana): 00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:03.059

00:26:52.339 Which does not require reciprocation, 00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:54.339 Though if one does, it is commendable. 00:26:54.339 --> 00:26:58.339 And in it is the guidance toward reciprocity. 00:26:59.339 --> 00:27:02.900 Chapter: Gifting to One's Children 00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:05.900 And if one gives something to some of his children, 00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:08.900 It is not permissible

take the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as a witness.' 00:27:32.670 --> 00:27:36.670 So he came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

Allah be pleased with him. 00:28:33.049 --> 00:28:34.049 "A gift": 00:28:34.049 --> 00:28:37.049 The gift was a servant boy. 00:28:37.049 --> 00:28:40.049 "I will not be satisfied" means I do not accept 00:28:40.049 --> 00:28:43.049 "Until you take as a witness," from bearing testimony. 00:28:43.049 --> 00:28:46.049 "So he came" means he arrived. 00:28:46.049 --> 00:28:48.049 "Have you given

00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.039 And in it is the encouragement to foster harmony among siblings, 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.039 And to avoid whatever causes rancor between them 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.069 And engenders filial disobedience toward parents. 00:29:21.069 --> 00:29:26.069 In it is that if the gift is from a father to a minor child, it does not require formal taking of possession, 00:29:26.069 --> 00:29:28.069 For the father's acceptance on their behalf suffices. 00:29:28.069 --> 00:29:33.140 And in it is the dislike of bearing witness to what is not permissible. 00:29:33.140 --> 00:29:39.140 And in it is the propriety of a judge or mufti inquiring into the specific details of an incident. 00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:42.140 And in it is the permissibility of
