WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.379 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:03.379 --> 00:00:06.250 Ifadah Center 00:00:06.250 --> 00:00:09.449 for Humanities Studies and Research 00:00:09.449 --> 00:00:10.849 presents 00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:15.849 The Abridged Sahih al-Bukhari 00:00:15.849 --> 00:00:20.359 Chapter: Charity Before It Is Rejected 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.809 On the authority of Harithah Ibn Wahb, who said: 00:00:23.809 --> 00:00:27.910 I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:00:27.910 --> 00:00:29.609 "Give charity, 00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:32.409 for a time will come upon you 00:00:32.409 --> 00:00:34.710 when a man will walk with his charity, 00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:37.310 and he will find no one to accept it. 00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:39.009 A man will say, 00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:42.409 'Had you brought it yesterday, I would have accepted it, 00:00:42.409 --> 00:00:46.750 but today, I have no need for it.'" 00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:50.130 Commentary on the hadith: 00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:51.329 "The man" 00:00:51.329 --> 00:00:53.630 refers to the one to whom the charity is offered. 00:00:53.630 --> 00:00:55.829 "I have no need for it" 00:00:55.829 --> 00:00:59.740 means I am not in need of wealth. 00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:03.310 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:01:03.310 --> 00:01:05.409 One derives from the hadith 00:01:05.409 --> 00:01:08.109 the encouragement to give charity and the desire to do so 00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:11.409 while one can still find those who are deserving of it, 00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:16.439 for fear that a time will come when no one can be found to take it. 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 00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:23.540 and the uncovering of the earth’s treasures, 00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:26.939 to the point that people will have no need for charity. 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. 00:01:33.329 --> 00:01:36.030 On the authority of 'Adi Ibn Hatim, who said: 00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:39.930 While I was with the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:44.099 a man came to him and complained of poverty. 00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:45.500 In another narration: 00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:47.489 He complained of destitution. 00:01:47.489 --> 00:01:51.890 Then another came and complained of highway robbery. 00:01:51.890 --> 00:01:52.989 He said: 00:01:52.989 --> 00:01:54.290 "O 'Adi, 00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:56.390 have you seen al-Hirah?" 00:01:56.390 --> 00:01:57.290 I said: 00:01:57.290 --> 00:01:58.590 "I have not seen it, 00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:01.019 but I have been told about it." 00:02:01.019 --> 00:02:02.120 He said: 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.219 "If you live a long life, 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, 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.039 fearing no one but Allah." 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.539 In another narration: 00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:16.539 "As for highway robbery, 00:02:16.539 --> 00:02:19.840 only a short time will pass 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.430 before caravans travel to Makkah without a protector." 00:02:24.430 --> 00:02:27.430 I said to myself: 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?" 00:02:32.590 --> 00:02:34.689 "And if you live a long life, 00:02:34.689 --> 00:02:37.490 the treasures of Chosroes will be opened." 00:02:37.490 --> 00:02:39.789 I asked: "Chosroes, son of Hormuz?" 00:02:39.789 --> 00:02:40.789 He said: 00:02:40.789 --> 00:02:42.889 "Chosroes, son of Hormuz. 00:02:42.889 --> 00:02:45.090 And if you live a long life, 00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:49.990 you will surely see a man taking out a handful of gold or silver, 00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:52.189 seeking someone to accept it from him, 00:02:52.189 --> 00:02:55.740 but he will find no one to accept it." 00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:57.240 In another narration: 00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:58.740 "As for destitution, 00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:01.139 the Hour will not be established 00:03:01.139 --> 00:03:04.139 until one of you walks with his charity 00:03:04.139 --> 00:03:07.139 and finds no one to accept it from him. 00:03:07.139 --> 00:03:10.840 And each of you will surely meet Allah on the day he meets Him, 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.400 with no interpreter between Him and him to translate for him." 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:16.699 In another narration: 00:03:16.699 --> 00:03:19.330 "And no veil to screen him. 00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:21.330 He will say to him: 00:03:21.330 --> 00:03:24.830 'Did I not send a messenger to you who conveyed [the message] to you?' 00:03:24.830 --> 00:03:26.830 He will say: 'Yes.' 00:03:26.830 --> 00:03:28.129 He will say: 00:03:28.129 --> 00:03:31.330 'Did I not give you wealth and bestow favor upon you?' 00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:33.330 He will say: 'Yes.' 00:03:33.330 --> 00:03:35.030 Then he will look to his right 00:03:35.030 --> 00:03:37.629 and see nothing but Hellfire, 00:03:37.629 --> 00:03:39.530 and he will look to his left 00:03:39.530 --> 00:03:42.460 and see nothing but Hellfire." 00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:43.960 In another narration: 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:45.860 "He will look to his right 00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:49.159 and see nothing but what he has sent forth of his deeds, 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.159 and he will look to his left 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.060 and see nothing but what he has sent forth, 00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:56.060 and he will look before him 00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:00.509 and see nothing but the Fire facing his face." 00:04:00.509 --> 00:04:01.909 'Adi said: 00:04:01.909 --> 00:04:06.009 I heard the Prophet, peace be upon him, say: 00:04:06.009 --> 00:04:09.610 "Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date." 00:04:09.610 --> 00:04:12.210 Whoever cannot find half a date, 00:04:12.210 --> 00:04:14.900 then [let him do so] with a good word. 00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:16.399 'Adi said: 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, 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.000 fearing no one but Allah. 00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:28.399 And I was among those who opened the treasures of Chosroes, son of Hormuz. 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.600 And if you live a long life, 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.100 you will surely see what the Prophet, Abu al-Qasim, peace be upon him, said: 00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:39.170 [Wealth] being taken out of hands. 00:04:39.170 --> 00:04:42.480 Commentary on the hadith: 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:43.779 "Al-faqah" 00:04:43.779 --> 00:04:46.019 means poverty and need. 00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:47.720 "Qat' al-sabil" (highway robbery) 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.920 refers to the actions of bandits who operate openly. 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.220 "Al-Hirah" 00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:56.050 is a well-known ancient city adjacent to Kufah. 00:04:56.050 --> 00:04:58.750 "Unbi'tu" means I was informed. 00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:00.649 "Latarawunna al-da'inah" 00:05:00.649 --> 00:05:02.949 means the woman in the camel litter. 00:05:02.949 --> 00:05:06.079 "Tartahilu" means she travels. 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.379 "Fa-ayna du'aru Tayyi'" 00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:09.579 "Al-da'ir" 00:05:09.579 --> 00:05:11.279 is the cunning, wicked person, 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.279 the corrupt, immoral person. 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.079 The intended meaning is highway robbers. 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.980 "Qad sa'aru al-bilad" 00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:21.579 means they have ignited the fire of strife in the land. 00:05:21.579 --> 00:05:22.680 "Yatlubu" 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.180 means he searches for 00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:25.879 someone to accept it from him, 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.379 due to the absence of the poor in that time. 00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:32.879 "Wa layalqayanna Allah ahadukum yawma yalqahu" 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.879 means on the Day of Resurrection. 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.980 "And there is no interpreter between Him and him." 00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:42.009 The interpreter is one who translates from one language to another. 00:05:42.009 --> 00:05:43.209 "Al-'aylah" 00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:44.709 means poverty. 00:05:44.709 --> 00:05:46.209 "Takhruju al-'ir" 00:05:46.209 --> 00:05:51.279 refers to camels and beasts of burden carrying food and other trade goods. 00:05:51.379 --> 00:05:53.079 "Bighayri khafir" 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:54.279 "Al-khafir" 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.000 is the protector who guarantees the safety of the people under his protection. 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.800 "Did I not give you wealth and bestow favor upon you?" 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.300 From "al-ifdal" (bestowing favor), 00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:06.300 meaning: Did I not treat you kindly with blessings? 00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:08.300 "Even with half a date" 00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:10.649 means half of a date. 00:06:10.649 --> 00:06:14.379 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:06:14.379 --> 00:06:16.980 The hadith is among the signs of Prophethood. 00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:19.980 For among the signs of the Hour is that wealth will abound, 00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:23.180 so people will not be in need of charity. 00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:26.180 It also indicates that security will spread among the people, 00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:28.180 so that no one will fear. 00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:32.180 The hadith affirms that Allah, the Almighty, speaks, 00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:37.180 and affirms that the believers will see their Lord, the Almighty, on the Day of Resurrection. 00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:43.180 The hadith indicates that Allah, the Almighty, does not punish until He has sent a messenger. 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:48.180 The hadith shows that a good word can be a shield against the Fire, 00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:52.379 just as an evil word is a cause for the Fire. 00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:54.379 It encourages giving charity, 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. 00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:02.379 The hadith is among the signs of Prophethood, 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, 00:07:08.379 --> 00:07:12.360 and that has indeed come to pass. 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.360 On the authority of Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.360 from the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:24.560 "A time will come upon people when a man will walk with charity of gold, 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.560 and he will find no one to take it from him. 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:33.560 And one man will be seen followed by forty women seeking his protection, 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.560 due to the scarcity of men and the abundance of women." 00:07:38.269 --> 00:07:40.269 Commentary on the hadith: 00:07:40.269 --> 00:07:42.560 "Of gold" 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.560 Gold is specifically mentioned to emphasize the extreme scarcity of those who would accept charity, 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.759 because gold is the most precious of metals and the most noble of wealth. 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.759 If no one is found to take this, 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.819 then it is even more certain that other things will not be taken. 00:07:57.819 --> 00:07:58.819 "Yaludhuna bihi" 00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:01.819 means they seek refuge with him and desire him. 00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:05.810 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:08:05.810 --> 00:08:08.810 The hadith is among the signs of Prophethood. 00:08:08.810 --> 00:08:11.810 Among the signs of the Hour is the abundance of wealth, 00:08:11.810 --> 00:08:14.810 to the point that one finds no one to accept it. 00:08:15.009 --> 00:08:19.009 It points to the prevalence of killing and strife at the end of time, 00:08:19.009 --> 00:08:22.009 causing men to become scarce due to wars. 00:08:22.009 --> 00:08:27.040 It points to the fact that guardianship (qiwamah) belongs to the man forever, 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.040 for that is the nature of Allah upon which He has created people. 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.039 It encourages hastening to distribute charity. 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.840 Chapter: 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.840 Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date, 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.600 and [the virtue of] small amounts of charity. 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.600 On the authority of Abu Mas'ud, who said: 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.799 When we were commanded to give charity, 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.799 we used to carry burdens [to earn money to give]. 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.799 Then Abu 'Aqil came with half a sa' [of grain], 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.899 and in another narration, with a full sa'. 00:08:56.899 --> 00:08:58.899 In another narration: 00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:00.899 One of us would go to the market 00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:02.899 and work to earn a mudd [of grain]. 00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:06.899 Yet today, some of them possess a hundred thousand. 00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:10.029 Then a man came with more than that, 00:09:10.029 --> 00:09:12.029 and the hypocrites said: 00:09:12.029 --> 00:09:16.029 "Allah is surely in no need of this man's charity, 00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:20.320 and this other man did not do this except for show." 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.320 So it was revealed: 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.320 "Those who criticize the voluntary givers..." 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.320 “Those who point at such of the believers as give the alms willingly and such as can find

Theirs will be a painful doom.” (9:79) 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.320 So they give out whatever they are able. 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.710 From the benefits of the hadith. 00:10:44.909 -->

with the command. 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.639 In the hadith is an indication of the habit of the hypocrites. 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.639 Of discouraging and turning people away. 00:10:57.639 -->

deeds. 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.840 Is charity earned by one's own hand. 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.840 It permits hiring oneself out. 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.840 For a specific task under its conditions. 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:32.830 From 'A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:11:32.830 --> 00:11:34.830 She said. 00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:37.830 A woman came to me with two

divided it between her two daughters. 00:11:46.029 --> 00:11:49.029 Then she stood up and left. 00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:52.029 Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, entered. 00:11:52.029 -->

for. 00:14:29.690 --> 00:14:31.690 Deeds with great rewards. 00:14:31.690 --> 00:14:33.690 It shows that. 00:14:33.690 --> 00:14:35.690 Generosity with wealth during illness. 00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:37.690 Does not erase the trait of stinginess. 00:14:37.690 --> 00:14:41.639 From 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with. 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.639 Her. 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.639 Some of

The hadith indicates that judgment is based on meanings when there is context. 00:15:55.629 --> 00:16:01.639 Chapter: If one gives charity to a rich person without knowing. 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:06.759 From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.759 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said. 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.759 A man said. 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.759 "I will surely give charity." 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:20.759 So he went out with his charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.759 In the morning, they were talking. 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.759 "Charity was given to a thief." 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.759 He said. 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:28.759 "O Allah, all praise is Yours." 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.759 "I will surely give charity." 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.759 So he went out with his charity. 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.759 And placed it in the hand of a prostitute. 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.799 In the morning, they were talking. 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.799 "Charity was given to a prostitute last night." 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.799 He said. 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:45.799 "O Allah, all praise is Yours." 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.799 "To a prostitute." 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.799 "I will surely give charity." 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.830 So he went out with his charity. 00:16:51.830 --> 00:16:53.830 And placed it in the hand of a rich person. 00:16:53.830 --> 00:16:56.830 In the morning, they were talking. 00:16:56.830 --> 00:16:58.830 "Charity was given to a rich person." 00:16:58.830 --> 00:17:00.990 He said. 00:17:00.990 --> 00:17:02.990 "O Allah, all praise is Yours." 00:17:02.990 --> 00:17:06.990 "For the thief, the prostitute, and the rich person." 00:17:06.990 --> 00:17:09.019 Then he was approached and told. 00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:12.049 "As for your charity to the thief." 00:17:12.049 --> 00:17:15.049 "Perhaps he will refrain from his theft." 00:17:15.049 --> 00:17:17.049 "And as for the prostitute." 00:17:17.049 --> 00:17:21.049 "Perhaps she will refrain from her prostitution." 00:17:21.049 --> 00:17:22.049 "And as for the rich person." 00:17:22.049 --> 00:17:27.049 "Perhaps he will take heed and spend from what Allah has given him." 00:17:27.049 --> 00:17:30.559 Commentary on the hadith. 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:35.079 A man who was from the Children of Israel. 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.079 He placed it in the hand of a thief. 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.079 Without knowing that he was a thief. 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.140 "In the morning, they were talking." 00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:47.140 Meaning, the people among whom this charitable man lived. 00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:49.329 "O Allah, all praise is Yours." 00:17:49.329 --> 00:17:52.329 Meaning, praise be to Allah in all circumstances. 00:17:52.329 --> 00:17:55.359 "He was approached," meaning he saw in a dream. 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.359 Or heard a caller, an angel or otherwise. 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.359 Or a prophet informed him. 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.359 Or a scholar gave him a ruling. 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:04.490 "Perhaps." 00:18:05.490 --> 00:18:10.490 "Perhaps" from Allah the Exalted carries the meaning of certainty and inevitability. 00:18:10.490 --> 00:18:13.680 "And as for the rich person, perhaps he will take heed." 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.680 That is because when he gave charity to him. 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.680 It shamed him and exposed him to the example of others. 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.099 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:27.900 The hadith clarifies the blessing of sincerity and its merit, 00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:29.900 And its impact upon others. 00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:32.900 It also indicates that Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, 00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:35.900 Rewards the servant according to his intention for good. 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, 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. 00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:49.900 There is a difference of opinion regarding the obligatory zakat. 00:18:49.900 --> 00:18:53.900 The hadith clarifies the merit of secret charity. 00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:58.900 It also indicates that it is incumbent upon the believer to praise Allah in every circumstance. 00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:01.900 It contains an exhortation to submission and contentment, 00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:03.900 And a condemnation of complaining against the divine decree. 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. 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. 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. 00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:25.900 The hadith provides evidence that admonition through actions 00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:29.900 Reaches the level of admonition through words, and even exceeds it. 00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:33.900 For such an admonition serves as a deterrent and a restraint. 00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:40.009 Chapter: Giving charity to one's son without realizing it. 00:19:40.009 --> 00:19:44.910 On the authority of Ma'n Ibn Yazid, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:47.910 I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:19:47.910 --> 00:19:50.910 Along with my father and my grandfather. 00:19:50.910 --> 00:19:53.910 He arranged a marriage for me, so he married me off. 00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:55.910 And I brought a dispute before him. 00:19:55.910 --> 00:20:00.970 My father, Yazid, had taken out some dinars to give as charity, 00:20:00.970 --> 00:20:03.970 And he placed them with a man in the mosque. 00:20:03.970 --> 00:20:06.970 I came and took them, 00:20:06.970 --> 00:20:08.970 Then I brought them to him. 00:20:08.970 --> 00:20:12.970 He said, "By Allah, it was not you I intended." 00:20:12.970 --> 00:20:17.970 So I brought the dispute before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 00:20:17.970 --> 00:20:21.970 He said, "You shall have what you intended, O Yazid," 00:20:21.970 --> 00:20:24.970 "And you shall have what you took, O Ma'n." 00:20:24.970 --> 00:20:28.769 Commentary on the hadith: 00:20:28.769 --> 00:20:34.319 "My grandfather" is Al-Akhnas Ibn Habib, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.319 "He arranged a marriage for me" means: 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.319 The Prophet, peace be upon him, proposed on my behalf to a woman. 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.349 "So he married me off" means he facilitated my marriage. 00:20:44.349 --> 00:20:46.349 "And I brought a dispute before him" 00:20:46.349 --> 00:20:49.349 Means I presented to the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:20:49.349 --> 00:20:52.349 A dispute between me and my father. 00:20:52.349 --> 00:20:54.539 "And he placed them with a man" 00:20:54.539 --> 00:20:59.539 Meaning he authorized him to give them as charity to whoever was in need of them. 00:20:59.539 --> 00:21:02.640 "By Allah, it was not you I intended" 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.640 Meaning, as the recipient of the charity. 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.730 "And you shall have what you took, O Ma'n" 00:21:06.730 --> 00:21:08.730 Because you were in a position of need. 00:21:08.730 --> 00:21:12.150 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:21:12.150 --> 00:21:17.200 This hadith indicates that deeds are judged by intentions, 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.200 And that a person is rewarded for their intention. 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:25.200 It permits appointing an agent for marriage proposals, charity, and other matters. 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.200 The hadith provides evidence for acting upon a general agency. 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.200 It shows the legality of seeking arbitration between a father and son. 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.200 Such arbitration does not constitute disobedience. 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.200 It permits taking pride in divine gifts 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.200 In the manner of speaking of the blessings of Allah, 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:46.200 Not in the manner of showing off or arrogance. 00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:50.200 The hadith shows that the one giving charity receives the reward for what they intended, 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.200 Whether or not they happened upon someone deserving. 00:21:53.200 --> 00:22:00.220 Chapter: One who orders their servant to give charity without handing it over personally. 00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:04.240 On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.240 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:13.240 "If a woman spends from the food of her house without causing waste," 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.400 In one narration: "gives charity," 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.400 In another narration: "feeds," 00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.400 "She has her reward for what she spent," 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.400 "Her husband has his reward for what he earned," 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.400 "And the keeper has the like of that," 00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:31.400 "Without any of them diminishing the reward of the other in the slightest." 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:35.009 Commentary on the hadith: 00:22:35.009 --> 00:22:38.589 "Spends" means gives charity. 00:22:38.589 --> 00:22:42.589 "Food of her house" is restricted to food, 00:22:42.589 --> 00:22:47.589 Because it is usually permitted to give, unlike gold and silver coins. 00:22:47.589 --> 00:22:51.589 For spending those is not permitted except with permission. 00:22:51.589 --> 00:22:53.589 "Without causing waste" 00:22:53.589 --> 00:22:57.589 Means she does not cause harm by exceeding what is customary. 00:22:57.589 --> 00:23:01.750 "Her husband has his reward" because he is the owner of the food. 00:23:01.750 --> 00:23:03.750 "And the keeper" 00:23:03.750 --> 00:23:07.750 The keeper is the one entrusted with the safekeeping of the food, 00:23:07.750 --> 00:23:09.750 Whether a servant or otherwise. 00:23:09.750 --> 00:23:13.130 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:23:13.130 --> 00:23:16.059 One learns from the hadith: 00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:20.059 The permissibility of a woman giving charity from her husband's wealth in moderation, 00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:25.059 If she knows from her husband's state that he would be pleased with that. 00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:30.119 It contains an exhortation to economy in spending and charity from the wealth of others. 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:36.109 Chapter: There is no charity except from what is left after sufficiency. 00:23:36.109 --> 00:23:40.619 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:43.619 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:46.619 "The best charity is that which leaves one with sufficiency." 00:23:46.619 --> 00:23:48.680 In one narration: 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.680 "The best charity is that which is given from what is left after sufficiency." 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:55.779 "And the upper hand is better than the lower hand," 00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:58.779 "And begin with those you support." 00:23:58.779 --> 00:24:01.099 "A woman says:" 00:24:01.099 --> 00:24:05.099 "'Either feed me or divorce me.'" 00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:07.099 "'And a slave says:'" 00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:10.099 "'Feed me and employ me.'" 00:24:10.099 --> 00:24:11.099 "'And a son says:'" 00:24:11.099 --> 00:24:14.099 "'Feed me, to whom are you leaving me?'" 00:24:14.099 --> 00:24:16.130 They said: 00:24:16.130 --> 00:24:18.130 "O Abu Hurayrah," 00:24:18.130 --> 00:24:21.130 "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him?" 00:24:21.130 --> 00:24:26.130 He said: "No, this is from the pouch of Abu Hurayrah." 00:24:26.130 --> 00:24:29.900 Commentary on the hadith: 00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:31.900 "That which leaves one with sufficiency" 00:24:31.900 --> 00:24:34.480 Means from what is left after sufficiency. 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:39.480 Meaning it does not leave the giver in need of asking after their charity. 00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.480 "And the upper hand" 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:43.599 Meaning the one who gives. 00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.599 "Is better than the lower hand" 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:47.599 Meaning the one who asks. 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:49.599 "And begin with those you support" 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:51.599 "And begin with those you support" 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:54.599 Meaning those whose maintenance is obligatory upon you. 00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:56.599 A man supports his family 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:01.599 When he provides what they need in terms of food, clothing, and other necessities. 00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.700 "This is from the pouch of Abu Hurayrah" 00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:07.700 Meaning it is a statement of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:25:07.700 --> 00:25:10.960 So it is attributed to him (mawquf). 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.759 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:16.759 One learns from the hadith: 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. 00:25:23.849 --> 00:25:28.849 The hadith indicates that spending on those whose maintenance is obligatory is charity, 00:25:28.849 --> 00:25:30.849 And it is more deserving. 00:25:30.849 --> 00:25:35.849 It provides guidance on prioritizing economy and expenditures. 00:25:35.849 --> 00:25:39.849 It shows that one of the most worthy ways to interpret a hadith 00:25:39.849 --> 00:25:43.920 Is the interpretation of the Companion who narrates it. 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. 00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.799 On the authority of Hakim Ibn Hizam, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.799 From the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:01.869 "The upper hand is better than the lower hand," 00:26:01.869 --> 00:26:03.869 "And begin with those you support," 00:26:03.869 --> 00:26:06.869 "And the best charity is that which is given from what is left after sufficiency," 00:26:06.869 --> 00:26:09.869 "And whoever seeks to be chaste, Allah will make him chaste," 00:26:09.869 --> 00:26:12.869 "And whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient." 00:26:12.869 --> 00:26:16.319 Commentary on the hadith: 00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:18.759 "Whoever seeks to be chaste" 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.759 Seeking chastity is the request for purity. 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:24.759 It is refraining from the forbidden and from asking of people. 00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:30.759 It is also said that seeking chastity is patience and integrity regarding a matter. 00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.890 "Whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient" 00:26:33.890 --> 00:26:36.890 Meaning whoever seeks wealth from Allah, He will grant it to him. 00:26:36.890 --> 00:26:40.210 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:26:40.210 --> 00:26:43.009 One learns from the hadith: 00:26:43.009 --> 00:26:47.009 The clarification of the merit of seeking chastity and refraining from asking of people. 00:26:47.009 --> 00:26:53.059 It shows that the reward is of the same nature as the deed. 00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:56.059 On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, 00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:59.059 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:01.059 Said while he was on the pulpit, 00:27:01.059 --> 00:27:05.089 And he mentioned charity, chastity, and asking: 00:27:05.089 --> 00:27:09.089 "The upper hand is better than the lower hand." 00:27:09.089 --> 00:27:12.089 The upper hand is the one that gives, 00:27:12.089 --> 00:27:14.089 And the lower is the one that asks. 00:27:14.089 --> 00:27:17.670 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:27:17.670 --> 00:27:20.369 One learns from the hadith: 00:27:20.369 --> 00:27:24.369 That the texts of the hadith interpret one another. 00:27:24.369 --> 00:27:28.369 The hadith clarifies the merit of seeking chastity and refraining from asking. 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. 00:27:35.369 --> 00:27:40.400 It contains an exhortation to charity and spending in ways of obedience. 00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:46.319 Chapter: Encouraging charity and interceding for it. 00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:50.869 On the authority of Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:27:50.869 --> 00:27:54.869 The Prophet, peace be upon him, was sitting, 00:27:54.869 --> 00:27:59.869 When a man came to him asking or seeking a need. 00:27:59.869 --> 00:28:03.000 He turned to us with his face and said: 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.000 "Intercede, and you will be rewarded," 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.000 "And Allah will decree through the tongue of His Prophet what He wills." 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.640 Commentary on the hadith: 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:13.640 "Intercede" 00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:18.079 Intercession is seeking the fulfillment of a need for another. 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.119 "And Allah will decree through the tongue of His Prophet what He wills" 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:27.119 Meaning Allah, Exalted be He, decrees through the tongue of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:29.119 Regarding the attainment of his need, 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.119 So the seeker attains his objective, 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.119 And you receive the reward. 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.559 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.329 One learns from the hadith: 00:28:41.329 --> 00:28:44.329 The clarification of the merit of walking to fulfill the need of a Muslim, 00:28:44.329 --> 00:28:47.329 And interceding for them in permissible matters. 00:28:47.329 --> 00:28:50.329 It shows that the reward is attained by the one who strives, 00:28:50.329 --> 00:28:52.329 Even if the objective is not attained. 00:28:52.329 --> 00:28:56.319 On the authority of Asma', 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.319 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.319 "Spend," 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.319 In one narration: 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.319 "Give charity," 00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:08.319 "And do not count, lest Allah count against you," 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.319 "And do not withhold, lest Allah withhold from you." 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:13.640 In one narration: 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.640 "Do not tie up, lest it be tied up against you." 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:18.890 In one narration: 00:29:18.890 --> 00:29:20.890 "Give as much as you are able." 00:29:20.890 --> 00:29:24.309 Commentary on the hadith: 00:29:24.309 --> 00:29:27.660 "Spend" means give charity. 00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:30.759 "Do not count, lest Allah count against you." 00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:32.759 "Counting" 00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:35.759 Is knowing the amount of a thing, its weight, or its number. 00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:37.759 The intended meaning is: 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:42.759 Allah, Exalted be He, will withhold blessing and provision from you just as you withheld. 00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.920 "And do not withhold, lest Allah withhold from you." 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. 00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:52.920 For that will become a cause for you to be withheld from [Allah's bounty]. 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:54.980 "Do not withhold" (la tuki). 00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:57.980 This is a metaphor for stinginess and miserliness. 00:29:57.980 --> 00:29:59.980 "Give" (ardkhi). 00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:02.980 The term *radgh* refers to giving a small amount. 00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:06.170 Among the benefits of this hadith: 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. 00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:14.779 It contains an encouragement to spend and a condemnation of stinginess and hoarding. 00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:17.779 It also indicates that charity causes wealth to grow. 00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:21.779 And it serves as a cause for blessing and increase within that wealth.
