1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,169 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:07,169 --> 00:00:11,779 With pens of longing and the ink of love, 3 00:00:11,779 --> 00:00:15,900 We record lines more precious than gold, 4 00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:20,899 Describing the Master of Creation, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 5 00:00:20,899 --> 00:00:30,600 The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il). 6 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:37,820 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the drinking vessel of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 7 00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:40,820 A *qadah* is a vessel from which one drinks. 8 00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:48,820 The intent here is the container from which the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to drink water and the like. 9 00:00:48,820 --> 00:00:53,820 It was typically of medium size, neither small nor large. 10 00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:58,820 The Prophet, peace be upon him, possessed more than one such vessel. 11 00:00:58,820 --> 00:01:00,820 The plural is *aqdah*. 12 00:01:00,820 --> 00:01:04,819 It is only called a *qadah* when it is empty. 13 00:01:04,819 --> 00:01:15,420 On the authority of Thabit, who said: Anas Ibn Malik brought out to us a thick wooden vessel, reinforced with iron. 14 00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:24,439 He said, "O Thabit, this is the vessel of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him." 15 00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:30,439 This hadith describes the vessel of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 16 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:33,439 It was fashioned from thick wood. 17 00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,469 Regarding the statement "reinforced with iron": 18 00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:39,469 A *dabbah* is a wide piece of iron 19 00:01:39,469 --> 00:01:43,469 Used to hold the wood together if it cracked or broke. 20 00:01:43,469 --> 00:01:48,469 It binds the parts together so that it remains firm and intact, 21 00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:52,469 Preventing gaps through which water might leak. 22 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:58,540 The hadith contains an indication of the perfect humility of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 23 00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:00,540 And his avoidance of affectation. 24 00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:05,200 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 25 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:12,199 "I have served the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, every kind of drink with this vessel: 26 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:16,199 Water, *nabidh* (fruit-infused water), honey, and milk." 27 00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:22,900 In this hadith, Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, informs us 28 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:28,900 That he served the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, using a single vessel 29 00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:33,900 For the various types of drinks the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to consume, 30 00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,900 Including water, *nabidh*, honey, and milk. 31 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:41,900 This demonstrates his asceticism, peace be upon him, 32 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,900 And his contentment with what is sufficient. 33 00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:50,960 *Nabidh* is water in which dates, grapes, or similar fruits are soaked overnight, 34 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,960 So that they dissolve into the water by morning. 35 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,960 The water becomes sweet, carrying the flavor of the dates or grapes. 36 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:04,960 It used to be prepared for the Prophet, peace be upon him, at the beginning of the night, 37 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,990 And he would drink from it in the morning. 38 00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:10,990 He would not drink it after three days 39 00:03:10,990 --> 00:03:13,990 For fear of it changing and becoming intoxicating. 40 00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:20,020 In our current time, Allah has facilitated for us blenders or juicers, 41 00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:25,020 Which serve the same purpose with ease and speed, and praise be to Allah. 42 00:03:25,020 --> 00:03:28,689 A benefit: 43 00:03:28,689 --> 00:03:30,689 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 44 00:03:30,689 --> 00:03:36,689 The Prophet, peace be upon him, had a vessel called *al-Rayyan*, 45 00:03:36,689 --> 00:03:38,689 And it was also called *Mughni*. 46 00:03:38,689 --> 00:03:42,689 He had another vessel reinforced with a silver chain. 47 00:03:42,689 --> 00:03:45,689 He also had a vessel made of glass, 48 00:03:45,689 --> 00:03:47,689 And a vessel made of reeds 49 00:03:47,689 --> 00:03:49,689 Which was placed under his bed, 50 00:03:49,689 --> 00:03:55,379 Into which he would urinate at night. 51 00:03:55,379 --> 00:04:00,379 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the fruit of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 52 00:04:00,379 --> 00:04:07,979 Meaning, an explanation of the hadiths regarding the nature of the fruit he, peace be upon him, consumed. 53 00:04:07,979 --> 00:04:11,979 Fruit is that which a person enjoys, 54 00:04:11,979 --> 00:04:14,979 Meaning, takes pleasure and delight in eating, 55 00:04:14,979 --> 00:04:19,980 Such as fresh dates, raisins, figs, pomegranates, and the like. 56 00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:25,259 On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Ja'far, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 57 00:04:25,259 --> 00:04:31,259 The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to eat cucumber with fresh dates. 58 00:04:32,259 --> 00:04:35,480 And on the authority of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: 59 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:41,480 The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to eat watermelon with fresh dates. 60 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,699 And on the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 61 00:04:45,699 --> 00:04:52,699 I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, combining melon and fresh dates. 62 00:04:52,699 --> 00:04:55,889 These hadiths indicate 63 00:04:55,889 --> 00:05:01,889 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to combine two foods together. 64 00:05:01,889 --> 00:05:03,889 This demonstrates its permissibility, 65 00:05:03,889 --> 00:05:06,889 And it contains numerous benefits. 66 00:05:06,889 --> 00:05:08,889 Al-Qurtubi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 67 00:05:08,889 --> 00:05:13,889 It shows the permissibility of considering the properties and natures of foods, 68 00:05:13,889 --> 00:05:18,889 And using them in the most appropriate manner according to the principles of medicine. 69 00:05:18,889 --> 00:05:20,889 For fresh dates possess heat, 70 00:05:20,889 --> 00:05:22,889 And cucumber possesses coolness. 71 00:05:22,889 --> 00:05:25,889 When eaten together, they balance each other out. 72 00:05:25,889 --> 00:05:31,050 This is a major principle in the compounding of medicines. 73 00:05:31,050 --> 00:05:33,050 Among its other benefits: 74 00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:36,050 Balancing the temperament and nourishing the body. 75 00:05:36,050 --> 00:05:39,050 The Prophet, peace be upon him, 76 00:05:39,050 --> 00:05:42,050 Used to eat cucumber with fresh dates. 77 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:44,050 Cucumber is similar to the common cucumber, 78 00:05:44,050 --> 00:05:47,050 But larger in size. 79 00:05:47,050 --> 00:05:50,050 He used to eat fresh dates with watermelon, 80 00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:52,050 And he would eat them with melon. 81 00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:55,079 The wisdom in combining them 82 00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:57,079 Is that fresh dates possess heat, 83 00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:01,079 So he would neutralize their heat with the coolness of the watermelon, 84 00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:03,079 Or the coolness of the melon, 85 00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:05,079 Or the coolness of the cucumber, 86 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:08,079 Achieving balance by eating them together. 87 00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,079 It is recorded in the Sunan of Abu Dawud 88 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,079 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 89 00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:16,079 Used to eat watermelon with fresh dates, 90 00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:18,079 And he would say: 91 00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:21,079 "We break the heat of this with the coolness of this, 92 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:24,079 And the coolness of this with the heat of this." 93 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:29,139 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 94 00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:32,139 When people saw the first of the fruit harvest, 95 00:06:32,139 --> 00:06:37,139 They would bring it to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 96 00:06:37,139 --> 00:06:41,139 When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took it, 97 00:06:41,139 --> 00:06:43,139 He would say: 98 00:06:43,139 --> 00:06:46,139 "O Allah, bless us in our fruits, 99 00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:49,139 And bless us in our city, 100 00:06:49,139 --> 00:06:53,230 And bless us in our *sa'* and our *mudd* (measures). 101 00:06:53,230 --> 00:06:58,230 O Allah, Ibrahim is Your servant, Your close friend, and Your prophet, 102 00:06:58,230 --> 00:07:01,259 And I am Your servant and Your prophet. 103 00:07:01,259 --> 00:07:03,259 He called upon You for Makkah, 104 00:07:03,259 --> 00:07:06,259 And I call upon You for Madinah 105 00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:10,259 With the same as that with which he called upon You for Makkah, and the like thereof with it." 106 00:07:10,259 --> 00:07:12,360 He said: 107 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360 Then he would call the youngest child he saw, 108 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,360 And give that fruit to him. 109 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,610 This hadith shows 110 00:07:20,610 --> 00:07:23,610 That the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, 111 00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:26,610 Would rejoice greatly at the first of the fruit harvest, 112 00:07:26,610 --> 00:07:28,610 Because they would not find fresh dates 113 00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:31,610 Except during the harvest season. 114 00:07:31,610 --> 00:07:34,610 After that, it would become dried dates, 115 00:07:34,610 --> 00:07:37,610 And they would not find fresh dates until the following year. 116 00:07:37,610 --> 00:07:40,610 Unlike our current time, 117 00:07:40,610 --> 00:07:42,610 Where Allah has preserved fresh dates for people 118 00:07:42,610 --> 00:07:44,610 Through the facilitation of refrigerators, 119 00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:47,610 So they find them throughout the year. 120 00:07:47,610 --> 00:07:50,769 Thus, as soon as they saw the first of the dates, 121 00:07:50,769 --> 00:07:53,769 They would bring them to the Prophet, peace be upon him, 122 00:07:53,769 --> 00:07:56,769 Out of a desire for him to pray for the fruit, 123 00:07:56,769 --> 00:07:59,769 So that Allah might bless it. 124 00:07:59,769 --> 00:08:02,769 Singling him out, peace be upon him, 125 00:08:02,769 --> 00:08:05,769 With the first of the ripening fruit 126 00:08:05,769 --> 00:08:08,769 Was a gift, a sign of reverence for him, and an expression of love. 127 00:08:08,769 --> 00:08:11,860 So the Prophet, peace be upon him, 128 00:08:11,860 --> 00:08:14,860 When he took that fruit, 129 00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:17,860 Would pray and say: 130 00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:20,860 "O Allah, bless us in our fruits." 131 00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:23,860 In a narration by Ibn al-Sunni: 132 00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:26,860 "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 133 00:08:26,860 --> 00:08:29,860 When the first of the fruit was brought to him, 134 00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:32,860 He would place it on his eyes, 135 00:08:32,860 --> 00:08:35,860 Then on his lips, and say: 136 00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:38,860 'O Allah, just as You have shown us its beginning, 137 00:08:38,860 --> 00:08:41,960 Show us its end.'" 138 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,960 In this hadith, he says: 139 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,960 "O Allah, bless us in our fruits, 140 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,960 In our city, 141 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,960 And bless us in our *sa'* and our *mudd*." 142 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,960 The blessing is in the increase of the measure, 143 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,960 So that what is sufficient from it would not be sufficient from other than it 144 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,960 Outside of Madinah. 145 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,960 His saying, "O Allah, Ibrahim is Your servant, 146 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,960 Your close friend, and Your prophet, 147 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,960 And I am Your servant and Your prophet," 148 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,960 He did not say "and Your close friend," even though he is 149 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,960 In other hadiths. 150 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,960 This was from the Prophet, peace be upon him, 151 00:09:19,960
