1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,379 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:03,379 --> 00:00:06,250 Ifadah Center 3 00:00:06,250 --> 00:00:09,449 for Humanities Studies and Research 4 00:00:09,449 --> 00:00:10,849 presents 5 00:00:10,849 --> 00:00:15,849 The Abridged Sahih al-Bukhari 6 00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:20,359 Chapter: Charity Before It Is Rejected 7 00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:23,809 On the authority of Harithah Ibn Wahb, who said: 8 00:00:23,809 --> 00:00:27,910 I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 9 00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:29,609 "Give charity, 10 00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:32,409 for a time will come upon you 11 00:00:32,409 --> 00:00:34,710 when a man will walk with his charity, 12 00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:37,310 and he will find no one to accept it. 13 00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:39,009 A man will say, 14 00:00:39,009 --> 00:00:42,409 'Had you brought it yesterday, I would have accepted it, 15 00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:46,750 but today, I have no need for it.'" 16 00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:50,130 Commentary on the hadith: 17 00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:51,329 "The man" 18 00:00:51,329 --> 00:00:53,630 refers to the one to whom the charity is offered. 19 00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:55,829 "I have no need for it" 20 00:00:55,829 --> 00:00:59,740 means I am not in need of wealth. 21 00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:03,310 From the benefits of the hadith: 22 00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:05,409 One derives from the hadith 23 00:01:05,409 --> 00:01:08,109 the encouragement to give charity and the desire to do so 24 00:01:08,109 --> 00:01:11,409 while one can still find those who are deserving of it, 25 00:01:11,409 --> 00:01:16,439 for fear that a time will come when no one can be found to take it. 26 00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:21,540 The hadith also points to the fact that among the signs of the Hour is an abundance of wealth 27 00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:23,540 and the uncovering of the earth’s treasures, 28 00:01:23,540 --> 00:01:26,939 to the point that people will have no need for charity. 29 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,329 It also highlights the importance of hastening to perform acts of obedience before one becomes unable to do so. 30 00:01:33,329 --> 00:01:36,030 On the authority of 'Adi Ibn Hatim, who said: 31 00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:39,930 While I was with the Prophet, peace be upon him, 32 00:01:39,930 --> 00:01:44,099 a man came to him and complained of poverty. 33 00:01:44,099 --> 00:01:45,500 In another narration: 34 00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:47,489 He complained of destitution. 35 00:01:47,489 --> 00:01:51,890 Then another came and complained of highway robbery. 36 00:01:51,890 --> 00:01:52,989 He said: 37 00:01:52,989 --> 00:01:54,290 "O 'Adi, 38 00:01:54,290 --> 00:01:56,390 have you seen al-Hirah?" 39 00:01:56,390 --> 00:01:57,290 I said: 40 00:01:57,290 --> 00:01:58,590 "I have not seen it, 41 00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:01,019 but I have been told about it." 42 00:02:01,019 --> 00:02:02,120 He said: 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,219 "If you live a long life, 44 00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:09,719 you will surely see a woman in a camel litter traveling from al-Hirah until she circumambulates the Ka'bah, 45 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:13,039 fearing no one but Allah." 46 00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:14,539 In another narration: 47 00:02:14,539 --> 00:02:16,539 "As for highway robbery, 48 00:02:16,539 --> 00:02:19,840 only a short time will pass 49 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,430 before caravans travel to Makkah without a protector." 50 00:02:24,430 --> 00:02:27,430 I said to myself: 51 00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:32,590 "What, then, of the scoundrels of the Tayy tribe who have set the land ablaze with chaos?" 52 00:02:32,590 --> 00:02:34,689 "And if you live a long life, 53 00:02:34,689 --> 00:02:37,490 the treasures of Chosroes will be opened." 54 00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,789 I asked: "Chosroes, son of Hormuz?" 55 00:02:39,789 --> 00:02:40,789 He said: 56 00:02:40,789 --> 00:02:42,889 "Chosroes, son of Hormuz. 57 00:02:42,889 --> 00:02:45,090 And if you live a long life, 58 00:02:45,090 --> 00:02:49,990 you will surely see a man taking out a handful of gold or silver, 59 00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:52,189 seeking someone to accept it from him, 60 00:02:52,189 --> 00:02:55,740 but he will find no one to accept it." 61 00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:57,240 In another narration: 62 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,740 "As for destitution, 63 00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:01,139 the Hour will not be established 64 00:03:01,139 --> 00:03:04,139 until one of you walks with his charity 65 00:03:04,139 --> 00:03:07,139 and finds no one to accept it from him. 66 00:03:07,139 --> 00:03:10,840 And each of you will surely meet Allah on the day he meets Him, 67 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,400 with no interpreter between Him and him to translate for him." 68 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,699 In another narration: 69 00:03:16,699 --> 00:03:19,330 "And no veil to screen him. 70 00:03:19,330 --> 00:03:21,330 He will say to him: 71 00:03:21,330 --> 00:03:24,830 'Did I not send a messenger to you who conveyed [the message] to you?' 72 00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:26,830 He will say: 'Yes.' 73 00:03:26,830 --> 00:03:28,129 He will say: 74 00:03:28,129 --> 00:03:31,330 'Did I not give you wealth and bestow favor upon you?' 75 00:03:31,330 --> 00:03:33,330 He will say: 'Yes.' 76 00:03:33,330 --> 00:03:35,030 Then he will look to his right 77 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:37,629 and see nothing but Hellfire, 78 00:03:37,629 --> 00:03:39,530 and he will look to his left 79 00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:42,460 and see nothing but Hellfire." 80 00:03:42,460 --> 00:03:43,960 In another narration: 81 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,860 "He will look to his right 82 00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:49,159 and see nothing but what he has sent forth of his deeds, 83 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:51,159 and he will look to his left 84 00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:54,060 and see nothing but what he has sent forth, 85 00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:56,060 and he will look before him 86 00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:00,509 and see nothing but the Fire facing his face." 87 00:04:00,509 --> 00:04:01,909 'Adi said: 88 00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:06,009 I heard the Prophet, peace be upon him, say: 89 00:04:06,009 --> 00:04:09,610 "Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date." 90 00:04:09,610 --> 00:04:12,210 Whoever cannot find half a date, 91 00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:14,900 then [let him do so] with a good word. 92 00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:16,399 'Adi said: 93 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:21,600 I have seen the woman in the camel litter traveling from al-Hirah until she circumambulates the Ka'bah, 94 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,000 fearing no one but Allah. 95 00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,399 And I was among those who opened the treasures of Chosroes, son of Hormuz. 96 00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:30,600 And if you live a long life, 97 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,100 you will surely see what the Prophet, Abu al-Qasim, peace be upon him, said: 98 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:39,170 [Wealth] being taken out of hands. 99 00:04:39,170 --> 00:04:42,480 Commentary on the hadith: 100 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,779 "Al-faqah" 101 00:04:43,779 --> 00:04:46,019 means poverty and need. 102 00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:47,720 "Qat' al-sabil" (highway robbery) 103 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,920 refers to the actions of bandits who operate openly. 104 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,220 "Al-Hirah" 105 00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:56,050 is a well-known ancient city adjacent to Kufah. 106 00:04:56,050 --> 00:04:58,750 "Unbi'tu" means I was informed. 107 00:04:58,750 --> 00:05:00,649 "Latarawunna al-da'inah" 108 00:05:00,649 --> 00:05:02,949 means the woman in the camel litter. 109 00:05:02,949 --> 00:05:06,079 "Tartahilu" means she travels. 110 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,379 "Fa-ayna du'aru Tayyi'" 111 00:05:08,379 --> 00:05:09,579 "Al-da'ir" 112 00:05:09,579 --> 00:05:11,279 is the cunning, wicked person, 113 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,279 the corrupt, immoral person. 114 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,079 The intended meaning is highway robbers. 115 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:17,980 "Qad sa'aru al-bilad" 116 00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:21,579 means they have ignited the fire of strife in the land. 117 00:05:21,579 --> 00:05:22,680 "Yatlubu" 118 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,180 means he searches for 119 00:05:24,180 --> 00:05:25,879 someone to accept it from him, 120 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:29,379 due to the absence of the poor in that time. 121 00:05:29,379 --> 00:05:32,879 "Wa layalqayanna Allah ahadukum yawma yalqahu" 122 00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:34,879 means on the Day of Resurrection. 123 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:37,980 "And there is no interpreter between Him and him." 124 00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:42,009 The interpreter is one who translates from one language to another. 125 00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:43,209 "Al-'aylah" 126 00:05:43,209 --> 00:05:44,709 means poverty. 127 00:05:44,709 --> 00:05:46,209 "Takhruju al-'ir" 128 00:05:46,209 --> 00:05:51,279 refers to camels and beasts of burden carrying food and other trade goods. 129 00:05:51,379 --> 00:05:53,079 "Bighayri khafir" 130 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:54,279 "Al-khafir" 131 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,000 is the protector who guarantees the safety of the people under his protection. 132 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,800 "Did I not give you wealth and bestow favor upon you?" 133 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,300 From "al-ifdal" (bestowing favor), 134 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:06,300 meaning: Did I not treat you kindly with blessings? 135 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:08,300 "Even with half a date" 136 00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:10,649 means half of a date. 137 00:06:10,649 --> 00:06:14,379 From the benefits of the hadith: 138 00:06:14,379 --> 00:06:16,980 The hadith is among the signs of Prophethood. 139 00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:19,980 For among the signs of the Hour is that wealth will abound, 140 00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:23,180 so people will not be in need of charity. 141 00:06:23,180 --> 00:06:26,180 It also indicates that security will spread among the people, 142 00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:28,180 so that no one will fear. 143 00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:32,180 The hadith affirms that Allah, the Almighty, speaks, 144 00:06:32,180 --> 00:06:37,180 and affirms that the believers will see their Lord, the Almighty, on the Day of Resurrection. 145 00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:43,180 The hadith indicates that Allah, the Almighty, does not punish until He has sent a messenger. 146 00:06:43,180 --> 00:06:48,180 The hadith shows that a good word can be a shield against the Fire, 147 00:06:48,379 --> 00:06:52,379 just as an evil word is a cause for the Fire. 148 00:06:52,379 --> 00:06:54,379 It encourages giving charity, 149 00:06:54,379 --> 00:06:59,379 and that one should not belittle any act of goodness, whether in word or deed, even if it is small. 150 00:06:59,379 --> 00:07:02,379 The hadith is among the signs of Prophethood, 151 00:07:02,379 --> 00:07:08,379 as it foretells that the treasures of Chosroes and Caesar will be spent in the cause of Allah, the Almighty, 152 00:07:08,379 --> 00:07:12,360 and that has indeed come to pass. 153 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360 On the authority of Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, 154 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,360 from the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: 155 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,560 "A time will come upon people when a man will walk with charity of gold, 156 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,560 and he will find no one to take it from him. 157 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:33,560 And one man will be seen followed by forty women seeking his protection, 158 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560 due to the scarcity of men and the abundance of women." 159 00:07:38,269 --> 00:07:40,269 Commentary on the hadith: 160 00:07:40,269 --> 00:07:42,560 "Of gold" 161 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,560 Gold is specifically mentioned to emphasize the extreme scarcity of those who would accept charity, 162 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,759 because gold is the most precious of metals and the most noble of wealth. 163 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:54,759 If no one is found to take this, 164 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,819 then it is even more certain that other things will not be taken. 165 00:07:57,819 --> 00:07:58,819 "Yaludhuna bihi" 166 00:07:58,819 --> 00:08:01,819 means they seek refuge with him and desire him. 167 00:08:01,819 --> 00:08:05,810 From the benefits of the hadith: 168 00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,810 The hadith is among the signs of Prophethood. 169 00:08:08,810 --> 00:08:11,810 Among the signs of the Hour is the abundance of wealth, 170 00:08:11,810 --> 00:08:14,810 to the point that one finds no one to accept it. 171 00:08:15,009 --> 00:08:19,009 It points to the prevalence of killing and strife at the end of time, 172 00:08:19,009 --> 00:08:22,009 causing men to become scarce due to wars. 173 00:08:22,009 --> 00:08:27,040 It points to the fact that guardianship (qiwamah) belongs to the man forever, 174 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,040 for that is the nature of Allah upon which He has created people. 175 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,039 It encourages hastening to distribute charity. 176 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,840 Chapter: 177 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,840 Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date, 178 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,600 and [the virtue of] small amounts of charity. 179 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,600 On the authority of Abu Mas'ud, who said: 180 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:48,799 When we were commanded to give charity, 181 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:50,799 we used to carry burdens [to earn money to give]. 182 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:53,799 Then Abu 'Aqil came with half a sa' [of grain], 183 00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:56,899 and in another narration, with a full sa'. 184 00:08:56,899 --> 00:08:58,899 In another narration: 185 00:08:58,899 --> 00:09:00,899 One of us would go to the market 186 00:09:00,899 --> 00:09:02,899 and work to earn a mudd [of grain]. 187 00:09:02,899 --> 00:09:06,899 Yet today, some of them possess a hundred thousand. 188 00:09:06,899 --> 00:09:10,029 Then a man came with more than that, 189 00:09:10,029 --> 00:09:12,029 and the hypocrites said: 190 00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:16,029 "Allah is surely in no need of this man's charity, 191 00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:20,320 and this other man did not do this except for show." 192 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,320 So it was revealed: 193 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,320 "Those who criticize the voluntary givers..." 194 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,320 “Those

a scholar gave him a ruling. 395 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,490 "Perhaps." 396 00:18:05,490 --> 00:18:10,490 "Perhaps" from Allah the Exalted carries the meaning of certainty and inevitability. 397 00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:13,680 "And as for the rich person, perhaps he will take heed." 398 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,680 That is because when he gave charity to him. 399 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,680 It shamed him and exposed him to the example of others. 400 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,099 Among the benefits of the hadith: 401 00:18:23,099 --> 00:18:27,900 The hadith clarifies the blessing of sincerity and its merit, 402 00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:29,900 And its impact upon others. 403 00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:32,900 It also indicates that Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, 404 00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:35,900 Rewards the servant according to his intention for good. 405 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:41,900 It further shows that if a person giving charity intends by their charity the Countenance of Allah, it is accepted from them, 406 00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:46,900 And it does not harm them if they placed it in the hands of someone undeserving, while being ignorant of their state. 407 00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,900 There is a difference of opinion regarding the obligatory zakat. 408 00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:53,900 The hadith clarifies the merit of secret charity. 409 00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:58,900 It also indicates that it is incumbent upon the believer to praise Allah in every circumstance. 410 00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:01,900 It contains an exhortation to submission and contentment, 411 00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:03,900 And a condemnation of complaining against the divine decree. 412 00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:09,900 The hadith establishes the principle that judgment is based on the apparent state until the contrary becomes clear. 413 00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:16,900 The hadith indicates that one should not pay heed to the words of those who discourage others from acts of worship and good deeds. 414 00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:21,900 It clarifies that one of the purposes of charity is to provide dignity to those who are deserving. 415 00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:25,900 The hadith provides evidence that admonition through actions 416 00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:29,900 Reaches the level of admonition through words, and even exceeds it. 417 00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,900 For such an admonition serves as a deterrent and a restraint. 418 00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:40,009 Chapter: Giving charity to one's son without realizing it. 419 00:19:40,009 --> 00:19:44,910 On the authority of Ma'n Ibn Yazid, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 420 00:19:44,910 --> 00:19:47,910 I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 421 00:19:47,910 --> 00:19:50,910 Along with my father and my grandfather. 422 00:19:50,910 --> 00:19:53,910 He arranged a marriage for me, so he married me off. 423 00:19:53,910 --> 00:19:55,910 And I brought a dispute before him. 424 00:19:55,910 --> 00:20:00,970 My father, Yazid, had taken out some dinars to give as charity, 425 00:20:00,970 --> 00:20:03,970 And he placed them with a man in the mosque. 426 00:20:03,970 --> 00:20:06,970 I came and took them, 427 00:20:06,970 --> 00:20:08,970 Then I brought them to him. 428 00:20:08,970 --> 00:20:12,970 He said, "By Allah, it was not you I intended." 429 00:20:12,970 --> 00:20:17,970 So I brought the dispute before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 430 00:20:17,970 --> 00:20:21,970 He said, "You shall have what you intended, O Yazid," 431 00:20:21,970 --> 00:20:24,970 "And you shall have what you took, O Ma'n." 432 00:20:24,970 --> 00:20:28,769 Commentary on the hadith: 433 00:20:28,769 --> 00:20:34,319 "My grandfather" is Al-Akhnas Ibn Habib, may Allah be pleased with him. 434 00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:37,319 "He arranged a marriage for me" means: 435 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:41,319 The Prophet, peace be upon him, proposed on my behalf to a woman. 436 00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:44,349 "So he married me off" means he facilitated my marriage. 437 00:20:44,349 --> 00:20:46,349 "And I brought a dispute before him" 438 00:20:46,349 --> 00:20:49,349 Means I presented to the Prophet, peace be upon him, 439 00:20:49,349 --> 00:20:52,349 A dispute between me and my father. 440 00:20:52,349 --> 00:20:54,539 "And he placed them with a man" 441 00:20:54,539 --> 00:20:59,539 Meaning he authorized him to give them as charity to whoever was in need of them. 442 00:20:59,539 --> 00:21:02,640 "By Allah, it was not you I intended" 443 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,640 Meaning, as the recipient of the charity. 444 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,730 "And you shall have what you took, O Ma'n" 445 00:21:06,730 --> 00:21:08,730 Because you were in a position of need. 446 00:21:08,730 --> 00:21:12,150 Among the benefits of the hadith: 447 00:21:12,150 --> 00:21:17,200 This hadith indicates that deeds are judged by intentions, 448 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,200 And that a person is rewarded for their intention. 449 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,200 It permits appointing an agent for marriage proposals, charity, and other matters. 450 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,200 The hadith provides evidence for acting upon a general agency. 451 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,200 It shows the legality of seeking arbitration between a father and son. 452 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,200 Such arbitration does not constitute disobedience. 453 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,200 It permits taking pride in divine gifts 454 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,200 In the manner of speaking of the blessings of Allah, 455 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,200 Not in the manner of showing off or arrogance. 456 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,200 The hadith shows that the one giving charity receives the reward for what they intended, 457 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,200 Whether or not they happened upon someone deserving. 458 00:21:53,200 --> 00:22:00,220 Chapter: One who orders their servant to give charity without handing it over personally. 459 00:22:00,220 --> 00:22:04,240 On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 460 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,240 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 461 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,240 "If a woman spends from the food of her house without causing waste," 462 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,400 In one narration: "gives charity," 463 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,400 In another narration: "feeds," 464 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,400 "She has her reward for what she spent," 465 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,400 "Her husband has his reward for what he earned," 466 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,400 "And the keeper has the like of that," 467 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,400 "Without any of them diminishing the reward of the other in the slightest." 468 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,009 Commentary on the hadith: 469 00:22:35,009 --> 00:22:38,589 "Spends" means gives charity. 470 00:22:38,589 --> 00:22:42,589 "Food of her house" is restricted to food, 471 00:22:42,589 --> 00:22:47,589 Because it is usually permitted to give, unlike gold and silver coins. 472 00:22:47,589 --> 00:22:51,589 For spending those is not permitted except with permission. 473 00:22:51,589 --> 00:22:53,589 "Without causing waste" 474 00:22:53,589 --> 00:22:57,589 Means she does not cause harm by exceeding what is customary. 475 00:22:57,589 --> 00:23:01,750 "Her husband has his reward" because he is the owner of the food. 476 00:23:01,750 --> 00:23:03,750 "And the keeper" 477 00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:07,750 The keeper is the one entrusted with the safekeeping of the food, 478 00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:09,750 Whether a servant or otherwise. 479 00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:13,130 Among the benefits of the hadith: 480 00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:16,059 One learns from the hadith: 481 00:23:16,059 --> 00:23:20,059 The permissibility of a woman giving charity from her husband's wealth in moderation, 482 00:23:21,059 --> 00:23:25,059 If she knows from her husband's state that he would be pleased with that. 483 00:23:25,059 --> 00:23:30,119 It contains an exhortation to economy in spending and charity from the wealth of others. 484 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:36,109 Chapter: There is no charity except from what is left after sufficiency. 485 00:23:36,109 --> 00:23:40,619 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 486 00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:43,619 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 487 00:23:43,619 --> 00:23:46,619 "The best charity is that which leaves one with sufficiency." 488

the upper hand is better than the lower hand," 491 00:23:55,779 --> 00:23:58,779 "And begin with those you support." 492 00:23:58,779 --> 00:24:01,099 "A woman says:" 493 00:24:01,099 --> 00:24:05,099 "'Either feed me or divorce me.'" 494 00:24:05,099 --> 00:24:07,099 "'And a slave says:'" 495 00:24:07,099 --> 00:24:10,099 "'Feed me and employ me.'" 496 00:24:10,099 --> 00:24:11,099 "'And a son says:'" 497 00:24:11,099 --> 00:24:14,099 "'Feed me, to whom are you leaving me?'" 498 00:24:14,099 --> 00:24:16,130 They said: 499 00:24:16,130 --> 00:24:18,130 "O Abu Hurayrah," 500 00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:21,130 "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him?" 501 00:24:21,130 --> 00:24:26,130 He said: "No, this is from the pouch of Abu Hurayrah." 502 00:24:26,130 --> 00:24:29,900 Commentary on the hadith: 503 00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:31,900 "That which leaves one with sufficiency" 504 00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:34,480 Means from what is left after sufficiency. 505 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,480 Meaning it does not leave the giver in need of asking after their charity. 506 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,480 "And the upper hand" 507 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,599 Meaning the one who gives. 508 00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:45,599 "Is better than the lower hand" 509 00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:47,599 Meaning the one who asks. 510 00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:49,599 "And begin with those you support" 511 00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:51,599 "And begin with those you support" 512 00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:54,599 Meaning those whose maintenance is obligatory upon you. 513 00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:56,599 A man supports his family 514 00:24:56,599 --> 00:25:01,599 When he provides what they need in terms of food, clothing, and other necessities. 515 00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:04,700 "This is from the pouch of Abu Hurayrah" 516 00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:07,700 Meaning it is a statement of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 517 00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:10,960 So it is attributed to him (mawquf). 518 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,759 Among the benefits of the hadith: 519 00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:16,759 One learns from the hadith: 520 00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:23,849 That one of the conditions of giving charity is that the giver is not in need of it for their own maintenance or the maintenance of those they support. 521 00:25:23,849 --> 00:25:28,849 The hadith indicates that spending on those whose maintenance is obligatory is charity, 522 00:25:28,849 --> 00:25:30,849 And it is more deserving. 523 00:25:30,849 --> 00:25:35,849 It provides guidance on prioritizing economy and expenditures. 524 00:25:35,849 --> 00:25:39,849 It shows that one of the most worthy ways to interpret a hadith 525 00:25:39,849 --> 00:25:43,920 Is the interpretation of the Companion who narrates it. 526 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:50,799 The hadith points to the importance of striving to ensure the sufficiency of the one receiving charity. 527 00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,799 On the authority of Hakim Ibn Hizam, may Allah be pleased with him, 528 00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:57,799 From the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: 529 00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:01,869 "The upper hand is better than the lower hand," 530 00:26:01,869 --> 00:26:03,869 "And begin with those you support," 531 00:26:03,869 --> 00:26:06,869 "And the best charity is that which is given from what is left after sufficiency," 532 00:26:06,869 --> 00:26:09,869 "And whoever seeks to be chaste, Allah will make him chaste," 533 00:26:09,869 --> 00:26:12,869 "And whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient." 534 00:26:12,869 --> 00:26:16,319 Commentary on the hadith: 535 00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:18,759 "Whoever seeks to be chaste" 536 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:21,759 Seeking chastity is the request for purity. 537 00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:24,759 It is refraining from the forbidden and from asking of people. 538 00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:30,759 It is also said that seeking chastity is patience and integrity regarding a matter. 539 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,890 "Whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient" 540 00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:36,890 Meaning whoever seeks wealth from Allah, He will grant it to him. 541 00:26:36,890 --> 00:26:40,210 Among the benefits of the hadith: 542 00:26:40,210 --> 00:26:43,009 One learns from the hadith: 543 00:26:43,009 --> 00:26:47,009 The clarification of the merit of seeking chastity and refraining from asking of people. 544 00:26:47,009 --> 00:26:53,059 It shows that the reward is of the same nature as the deed. 545 00:26:53,059 --> 00:26:56,059 On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, 546 00:26:56,059 --> 00:26:59,059 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 547 00:26:59,059 --> 00:27:01,059 Said while he was on the pulpit, 548 00:27:01,059 --> 00:27:05,089 And he mentioned charity, chastity, and asking: 549 00:27:05,089 --> 00:27:09,089 "The upper hand is better than the lower hand." 550 00:27:09,089 --> 00:27:12,089 The upper hand is the one that gives, 551 00:27:12,089 --> 00:27:14,089 And the lower is the one that asks. 552 00:27:14,089 --> 00:27:17,670 Among the benefits of the hadith: 553 00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:20,369 One learns from the hadith: 554 00:27:20,369 --> 00:27:24,369 That the texts of the hadith interpret one another. 555 00:27:24,369 --> 00:27:28,369 The hadith clarifies the merit of seeking chastity and refraining from asking. 556 00:27:28,369 --> 00:27:35,369 It permits the preacher to speak about everything that is beneficial in terms of admonition, knowledge, and acts of devotion. 557 00:27:35,369 --> 00:27:40,400 It contains an exhortation to charity and spending in ways of obedience. 558 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:46,319 Chapter: Encouraging charity and interceding for it. 559 00:27:46,319 --> 00:27:50,869 On the authority of Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 560 00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:54,869 The Prophet, peace be upon him, was sitting, 561 00:27:54,869 --> 00:27:59,869 When a man came to him asking or seeking a need. 562 00:27:59,869 --> 00:28:03,000 He turned to us with his face and said: 563 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000 "Intercede, and you will be rewarded," 564 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000 "And Allah will decree through the tongue of His Prophet what He wills." 565 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,640 Commentary on the hadith: 566 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,640 "Intercede" 567 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,079 Intercession is seeking the fulfillment of a need for another. 568 00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:22,119 "And Allah will decree through the tongue of His Prophet what He wills" 569 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:27,119 Meaning Allah, Exalted be He, decrees through the tongue of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 570 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,119 Regarding the attainment of his need, 571 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,119 So the seeker attains his objective, 572 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,119 And you receive the reward. 573 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,559 Among the benefits of the hadith: 574 00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:41,329 One learns from the hadith: 575 00:28:41,329 --> 00:28:44,329 The clarification of the merit of walking to fulfill the need of a Muslim, 576 00:28:44,329 --> 00:28:47,329 And interceding for them in permissible matters. 577 00:28:47,329 --> 00:28:50,329 It shows that the reward is attained by the one who strives, 578 00:28:50,329 --> 00:28:52,329 Even if the objective is not attained. 579 00:28:52,329 --> 00:28:56,319 On the authority of Asma', 580 00:28:56,319 --> 00:29:00,319 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 581 00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:02,319 "Spend," 582 00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:03,319 In one narration: 583 00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:05,319 "Give charity," 584 00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:08,319 "And do not count, lest Allah count against you," 585 00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:11,319 "And do not withhold, lest Allah withhold from you." 586 00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:13,640 In one narration: 587 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,640 "Do not tie up, lest it be tied up against you." 588 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,890 In one narration: 589 00:29:18,890 --> 00:29:20,890 "Give as much as you are able." 590 00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:24,309 Commentary on the hadith: 591 00:29:24,309 --> 00:29:27,660 "Spend" means give charity. 592 00:29:27,660 --> 00:29:30,759 "Do not count, lest Allah count against you." 593 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:32,759 "Counting" 594 00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:35,759 Is knowing the amount of a thing, its weight, or its number. 595 00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:37,759 The intended meaning is: 596 00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:42,759 Allah, Exalted be He, will withhold blessing and provision from you just as you withheld. 597 00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:45,920 "And do not withhold, lest Allah withhold from you." 598 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,920 Meaning: do not keep your wealth locked away in a container to preserve it without spending it. 599 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,920 For that will become a cause for you to be withheld from [Allah's bounty]. 600 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,980 "Do not withhold" (la tuki). 601 00:29:54,980 --> 00:29:57,980 This is a metaphor for stinginess and miserliness. 602 00:29:57,980 --> 00:29:59,980 "Give" (ardkhi). 603 00:29:59,980 --> 00:30:02,980 The term *radgh* refers to giving a small amount. 604 00:30:02,980 --> 00:30:06,170 Among the benefits of this hadith: 605 00:30:06,170 --> 00:30:10,779 It is understood from the hadith that the recompense is of the same nature as the deed. 606 00:30:10,779 --> 00:30:14,779 It contains an encouragement to spend and a condemnation of stinginess and hoarding. 607 00:30:14,779 --> 00:30:17,779 It also indicates that charity causes wealth to grow. 608 00:30:17,779 --> 00:30:21,779 And it serves as a cause for blessing and increase within that wealth.
