1 00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:09,779 Riyadh al-Salihin from the words of the Master of the Messengers, peace be upon him. 2 00:00:09,779 --> 00:00:19,500 Chapter: The Prohibition of a Person Attributing Themselves to Someone Other Than Their Father or Claiming Allegiance to Other Than Their Masters. 3 00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:29,359 On the authority of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 4 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:34,359 "Whoever knowingly claims to be the son of someone other than his own father, 5 00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:39,549 then Paradise is forbidden to him." Agreed upon. 6 00:00:39,549 --> 00:00:44,990 "Claims" means to falsely attribute oneself. 7 00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:52,920 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: 8 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:59,920 "Do not turn away from your fathers, for whoever turns away from his father, it is an act of disbelief." 9 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,079 Agreed upon. 10 00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:10,810 Among the benefits of the hadith is the prohibition of attributing oneself to other than one's father while knowing one's true lineage. 11 00:01:10,810 --> 00:01:17,810 Whoever does so while considering it lawful commits an act of disbelief that removes him from the fold of the Ummah. 12 00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:25,799 Islam is keen on preserving lineages and mandates the duty of honoring one's parents. 13 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:30,859 On the authority of Yazid ibn Sharik ibn Tariq, who said: 14 00:01:30,859 --> 00:01:35,859 I saw 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, on the pulpit delivering a sermon. 15 00:01:35,859 --> 00:01:41,859 I heard him say: "By Allah, we have no book that we read 16 00:01:41,859 --> 00:01:46,950 except the Book of Allah and what is in this scroll." 17 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:53,980 He unfolded it, and in it were the ages of camels and various matters regarding injuries. 18 00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:58,980 In it, he said, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 19 00:01:58,980 --> 00:02:04,079 "Madinah is a sanctuary between 'Ayr and Thawr. 20 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:09,080 Whoever commits an innovation therein or harbors an innovator, 21 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,080 upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of mankind. 22 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,300 Allah will not accept from him on the Day of Resurrection any obligatory or supererogatory deed." 23 00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:25,300 The protection (dhimmah) of the Muslims is one, which even the lowest among them may uphold. 24 00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:33,300 Whoever violates the protection of a Muslim, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of mankind. 25 00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:39,430 Allah will not accept from him on the Day of Resurrection any obligatory or supererogatory deed. 26 00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:45,430 And whoever claims to be the son of someone other than his father or claims allegiance to other than his masters, 27 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:50,430 upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of mankind. 28 00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:56,750 Allah will not accept from him on the Day of Resurrection any obligatory or supererogatory deed. 29 00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:58,750 Agreed upon. 30 00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:05,099 "The protection of the Muslims" means their covenant and security. 31 00:03:05,099 --> 00:03:08,189 "Violates" means to break their covenant. 32 00:03:08,189 --> 00:03:14,449 "Obligatory" (sarf) refers to repentance, though it is also said to mean trickery. 33 00:03:14,509 --> 00:03:17,509 "Supererogatory" (adl) means ransom. 34 00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:24,770 "Ages of camels" refers to the specification of their ages for the payment of blood money in cases of homicide. 35 00:03:24,770 --> 00:03:29,900 'Ayr and Thawr are two mountains in the Prophetic city of Madinah. 36 00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,469 "Commits an innovation" (ahdatha) means to introduce a heresy. 37 00:03:33,469 --> 00:03:36,469 "Protection" (dhimmah) means the covenant. 38 00:03:36,469 --> 00:03:39,759 "Obligatory" (sarf) means the mandatory act. 39 00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:42,949 "Supererogatory" (adl) means the voluntary act. 40 00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:47,069 Among the benefits of the hadith: 41 00:03:47,069 --> 00:03:54,069 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, did not single out his family (Ahl al-Bayt) for any knowledge exclusive of the people. 42 00:03:54,069 --> 00:04:00,550 This is because he, peace be upon him, did not conceal anything from the people. 43 00:04:00,550 --> 00:04:02,550 The permissibility of writing down knowledge. 44 00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:08,550 And that some of the Sunnah was written down during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 45 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:12,030 The permissibility of cursing the people of innovation. 46 00:04:12,030 --> 00:04:15,539 The protection of the Muslims is equal, 47 00:04:15,539 --> 00:04:18,540 whether it is issued by one of them or more, 48 00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:20,540 whether they are noble or humble. 49 00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:25,540 If any Muslim grants security to a disbeliever and gives him a covenant, 50 00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:27,540 no one may violate it, 51 00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:32,060 because the Muslims are like a single soul. 52 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:36,540 The prohibition of breaking a covenant and violating the protection of a Muslim. 53 00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:39,540 Whoever attributes himself to someone other than his true father, 54 00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:43,540 he is a claimant who disavows his own kin 55 00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:45,540 and attaches himself to others. 56 00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:52,050 Thus, he deserves to be prayed against, to be cast out and distanced from mercy. 57 00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:57,050 Madinah is a sanctuary between its two lava fields (harrahs) and its entire protected area. 58 00:04:57,050 --> 00:04:59,050 Its vegetation must not be cut, 59 00:04:59,050 --> 00:05:01,050 its game must not be startled, 60 00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:04,050 its lost property must not be picked up, 61 00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:07,050 and its trees must not be felled, 62 00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:10,050 except for a man to feed his camel. 63 00:05:10,050 --> 00:05:13,050 No weapon for fighting may be carried therein. 64 00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:18,050 This is how the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, declared it a sanctuary, 65 00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:23,050 just as Ibrahim, peace be upon him, declared Makkah a sanctuary. 66 00:05:23,050 --> 00:05:26,529 The permissibility of swearing an oath for emphasis, 67 00:05:26,529 --> 00:05:29,910 or to negate an incorrect matter. 68 00:05:29,910 --> 00:05:32,910 The prohibition of introducing innovations into the religion of Allah. 69 00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:37,300 And that the innovator is cast out from the mercy of Allah the Almighty. 70 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:40,300 The prohibition of harboring the people of innovation and honoring them, 71 00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,300 because that is a breach in the religion and an exaltation of the corrupt. 72 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,779 A clarification of the honor and virtue of Madinah. 73 00:05:48,779 --> 00:05:52,779 And for that reason, sin is magnified therein. 74 00:05:52,779 --> 00:05:56,990 On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, 75 00:05:56,990 --> 00:06:01,990 that he heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say: 76 00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:05,060 "There is no man who claims to be the son of someone other than his father, 77 00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:08,060 while knowing it, but he has committed an act of disbelief. 78 00:06:08,060 --> 00:06:12,120 And whoever claims what is not his is not one of us, 79 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,120 and let him take his seat in the Fire." 80 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,220 "And whoever calls a man a disbeliever or says 'enemy of Allah,' 81 00:06:21,220 --> 00:06:25,220 and he is not so, it will return upon him." 82 00:06:25,220 --> 00:06:30,500 Agreed upon, and this is the wording of Muslim's narration. 83 00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:34,370 "Let him take his seat in the Fire," 84 00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:37,370 meaning he takes his place in the Fire. 85 00:06:37,370 --> 00:06:39,560 "Calls a man a disbeliever," 86 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560 meaning he says to him, "O disbeliever." 87 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,980 "It will return upon him" means it reverts to him. 88 00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:49,839 Among the benefits of the hadith: 89 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,129 The prohibition of denying one's known lineage 90 00:06:54,129 --> 00:06:56,129 and claiming another. 91 00:06:56,129 --> 00:07:00,610 The sin in this is contingent upon knowledge of the matter 92 00:07:00,610 --> 00:07:02,610 and the intention to perform it. 93 00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:07,019 The Shari'ah applies the term "disbelief" to certain sins 94 00:07:07,019 --> 00:07:11,019 to emphasize their gravity and confirm their prohibition. 95 00:07:11,019 --> 00:07:14,500 Whoever considers any of that lawful, 96 00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:18,500 he has disbelieved and cast off the yoke of Islam from his neck. 97 00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:21,980 The prohibition of all false claims, 98 00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:25,980 whether in knowledge, teaching, lineage, or allegiance. 99 00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:30,430 The prohibition of accusing Muslims of disbelief, 100 00:07:30,430 --> 00:07:32,430 or labeling them as enemies of Allah. 101 00:07:32,430 --> 00:07:36,430 Whoever does so to someone who does not deserve it, 102 00:07:36,430 --> 00:07:39,430 he is more deserving of it himself. 103 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:46,730 Chapter: Warning Against Committing What Allah the Almighty 104 00:07:46,730 --> 00:07:50,730 or His Messenger, peace be upon him, has forbidden. 105 00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:53,910 Allah the Almighty says: 106 00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:57,980 “Make not the calling of the messenger among you as your calling one of another. Allah knoweth those of you who steal away, hiding themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest grief or painful punishment befall them.” (24:63) 107 00:07:57,980 --> 00:08:02,980 “Make not the calling of the messenger among you as your calling one of another. Allah knoweth those of you who steal away, hiding themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest grief or painful punishment befall them.” (24:63) 108 00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:05,139 And He says: 109 00:08:05,139 --> 00:08:08,139 "And Allah warns you of Himself." 110 00:08:08,139 --> 00:08:10,360 And He says: 111 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360 “Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern.” (85:12) 112 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,579 And He says: 113 00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:20,579 “Even thus is the grasp of thy Lord when He graspeth the townships while they are doing wrong. Lo! His grasp is painful, very strong.” (11:102) 114 00:08:20,579 --> 00:08:24,579 "Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe." 115 00:08:24,579 --> 00:08:28,699 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 116 00:08:28,699 --> 00:08:32,700 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 117 00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:36,700 "Indeed, Allah the Almighty feels jealousy, 118 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:38,740 and the jealousy of Allah 119 00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:43,019 is that a person commits what Allah has forbidden for him." 120 00:08:43,019 --> 00:08:45,019 Agreed upon. 121 00:08:45,019 --> 00:08:55,269 Chapter: What One Should Say and Do if They Commit a Forbidden Act. 122 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:57,269 Allah the Almighty says: 123 00:08:57,269 --> 00:09:02,299 "And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, 124 00:09:02,299 --> 00:09:04,299 then seek refuge in Allah." 125 00:09:04,299 --> 00:09:06,590 And He says: 126 00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:15,690 “Lo! those who ward off (evil), when a glamour from the devil troubleth them, they do but remember (Allah's Guidance) and behold them seers!” (7:201) 127 00:09:15,690 --> 00:09:17,879 And He says: 128 00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:23,039 “And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgiveth sins save Allah only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did.” (3:135) 129 00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:27,039 “And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgiveth sins save Allah only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did.” (3:135) 130 00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:30,039 “And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgiveth sins save Allah only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did.” (3:135) 131 00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:34,039 "And they do not persist in what they have done while they know." 132 00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:40,039 “The reward of such will be forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever - a bountiful reward for workers!” (3:136) 133 00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:46,039 “The reward of such will be forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever - a bountiful reward for workers!” (3:136) 134 00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:49,039 "And excellent is the reward of the workers." 135 00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:51,389 And He says: 136 00:09:51,389 --> 00:09:58,389 "And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed." 137 00:09:58,389 --> 00:10:02,539 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 138 00:10:02,539 --> 00:10:06,539 from the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said: 139 00:10:06,539 --> 00:10:11,580 "Whoever swears an oath and says in his oath, 'By al-Lat and al-'Uzza,' 140 00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:15,580 let him say, 'There is no god but Allah.' 141 00:10:15,580 --> 00:10:20,700 And whoever says to his companion, 'Come, let me gamble with you,' 142 00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,700 let him give charity." 143 00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,929 Agreed upon. 144 00:10:24,929 --> 00:10:29,340 "Gamble with you" means to bet with you. 145 00:10:29,340 --> 00:10:32,519 Among the benefits of the hadith: 146 00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:39,809 The obligation to turn back from sin if it is committed out of ignorance or a slip of the tongue. 147 00:10:39,809 --> 00:10:42,379 The prohibition of swearing by idols. 148 00:10:42,379 --> 00:10:46,379 And that it is something that removes the servant from the fold of the Ummah. 149 00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:50,799 The prohibition of gambling in all its forms and manifestations. 150 00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:55,220 Inviting others to sin is another sin. 151 00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:57,659 Whoever falls into a bad deed, 152 00:10:57,659 --> 00:11:00,659 he must follow it with a good deed, 153 00:11:00,659 --> 00:11:03,659 because good deeds wipe away bad deeds. 154 00:11:03,659 --> 00:11:07,019 The expiation for swearing by idols 155 00:11:07,019 --> 00:11:10,019 is saying, "There is no god but Allah." 156 00:11:10,019 --> 00:11:15,500 The expiation for inviting someone to bet is charity. 157 00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:19,590 Riyadh al-Salihin.
