1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,139 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:07,139 --> 00:00:09,199 With pens of longing, 3 00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:11,779 And the ink of love, 4 00:00:11,779 --> 00:00:15,900 We record lines more precious than gold, 5 00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:17,899 In describing the Master of all creation, 6 00:00:17,899 --> 00:00:20,899 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 7 00:00:20,899 --> 00:00:30,600 The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il). 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,600 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the manner in which the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, drank. 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,939 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 10 00:00:41,939 --> 00:00:45,939 I served the Prophet, peace be upon him, water from Zamzam, 11 00:00:45,939 --> 00:00:47,939 And he drank while standing. 12 00:00:47,939 --> 00:00:51,609 In this hadith, 13 00:00:51,609 --> 00:00:56,609 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, drank from Zamzam while standing, 14 00:00:56,609 --> 00:00:59,609 Which is contrary to his usual practice. 15 00:00:59,609 --> 00:01:03,609 This was a situation that necessitated drinking while standing. 16 00:01:03,609 --> 00:01:06,609 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 17 00:01:06,609 --> 00:01:10,609 It was the guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to drink while sitting. 18 00:01:10,609 --> 00:01:13,609 This was his habitual practice. 19 00:01:13,609 --> 00:01:17,609 It is authentically reported that he forbade drinking while standing. 20 00:01:17,609 --> 00:01:22,609 It is also authentically reported that he ordered someone who drank while standing to vomit. 21 00:01:22,609 --> 00:01:25,609 And it is authentically reported that he himself drank while standing. 22 00:01:25,609 --> 00:01:27,609 One group said: 23 00:01:27,609 --> 00:01:29,609 This [latter action] abrogates the prohibition. 24 00:01:29,609 --> 00:01:31,609 Another group said: 25 00:01:31,609 --> 00:01:34,609 Rather, it clarifies that the prohibition is not for prohibition (tahrim), 26 00:01:34,609 --> 00:01:37,609 But for guidance and the abandonment of what is better (tark al-awla). 27 00:01:37,609 --> 00:01:39,609 A third group said: 28 00:01:39,609 --> 00:01:42,609 There is no contradiction between them at all, 29 00:01:42,609 --> 00:01:45,609 For he only drank while standing due to necessity. 30 00:01:45,609 --> 00:01:49,609 He came to Zamzam while they were drawing water from it, 31 00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:51,609 So he asked for water, 32 00:01:51,609 --> 00:01:53,609 They handed him the bucket, 33 00:01:53,609 --> 00:01:55,609 And he drank while standing. 34 00:01:55,609 --> 00:01:57,609 This was a situation of necessity. 35 00:01:57,609 --> 00:02:01,140 On the authority of 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, 36 00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:04,140 From his father, from his grandfather, who said: 37 00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:07,140 I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 38 00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:10,139 Drinking while standing and while sitting. 39 00:02:10,139 --> 00:02:13,259 In this hadith, 40 00:02:13,259 --> 00:02:15,259 The noble Companion, 41 00:02:15,259 --> 00:02:19,259 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As, may Allah be pleased with them both, informs us 42 00:02:19,259 --> 00:02:22,259 That he saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, 43 00:02:22,259 --> 00:02:24,259 Drinking while standing, 44 00:02:24,259 --> 00:02:26,259 And that was on some occasions, 45 00:02:26,259 --> 00:02:29,259 And he saw him drinking while sitting, 46 00:02:29,259 --> 00:02:31,259 Which was the case in most situations, 47 00:02:31,259 --> 00:02:34,259 And this is the guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 48 00:02:34,259 --> 00:02:36,259 Regarding drinking. 49 00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:40,479 On the authority of al-Nazzal ibn Sabra, who said: 50 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:44,479 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, was brought a cup of water, 51 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:46,479 While he was in the courtyard (rahba), 52 00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:48,479 He took a handful from it, 53 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:49,479 Washed his hands, 54 00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:51,479 Rinsed his mouth and sniffed water into his nose, 55 00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:55,479 And wiped his face, forearms, and head, 56 00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:58,479 Then he drank from it while standing. 57 00:02:58,479 --> 00:02:59,479 Then he said: 58 00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,479 This is the ablution of one who has not broken it, 59 00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:08,479 This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, do. 60 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:11,569 In this hadith, 61 00:03:11,569 --> 00:03:14,569 It is mentioned that 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, 62 00:03:14,569 --> 00:03:17,569 Was brought a cup of water while he was in the courtyard. 63 00:03:17,569 --> 00:03:21,569 The courtyard is the wide space in the mosque or similar places. 64 00:03:21,569 --> 00:03:24,629 He washed his hands, rinsed his mouth, and sniffed water into his nose, 65 00:03:24,629 --> 00:03:27,629 And wiped his face, forearms, and head, 66 00:03:27,629 --> 00:03:30,629 And in one narration, there is an addition: "and his feet." 67 00:03:30,629 --> 00:03:33,629 Then he drank while standing. 68 00:03:33,629 --> 00:03:36,629 This is the point of evidence in the hadith. 69 00:03:36,629 --> 00:03:40,659 In another narration, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, 70 00:03:40,659 --> 00:03:42,659 Came to the gate of the courtyard, 71 00:03:42,659 --> 00:03:44,659 And drank while standing, 72 00:03:44,659 --> 00:03:45,659 Then he said: 73 00:03:45,659 --> 00:03:50,659 Some people dislike drinking while standing, 74 00:03:50,659 --> 00:03:54,659 But I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, do 75 00:03:54,659 --> 00:03:56,659 Just as you have seen me do. 76 00:03:57,889 --> 00:04:01,889 This indicates that drinking while standing is permissible, 77 00:04:01,889 --> 00:04:05,889 And that the prohibition regarding it is interpreted as a dislike of impropriety (karahat tanzih). 78 00:04:05,889 --> 00:04:10,490 On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 79 00:04:10,490 --> 00:04:13,490 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 80 00:04:13,490 --> 00:04:17,490 Used to breathe three times into the vessel when he drank, 81 00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:20,490 And he would say: "It is more thirst-quenching and satisfying." 82 00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:24,089 In this hadith, 83 00:04:24,089 --> 00:04:27,089 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 84 00:04:27,089 --> 00:04:31,089 Had the habit of not drinking all at once, 85 00:04:31,089 --> 00:04:34,089 But rather he would drink in three draughts. 86 00:04:34,089 --> 00:04:39,089 He would drink, then remove the vessel from his mouth to breathe, 87 00:04:39,089 --> 00:04:41,089 Then return to drink, 88 00:04:41,089 --> 00:04:45,089 Then remove the vessel from his mouth to breathe, 89 00:04:45,089 --> 00:04:48,089 Then return to drink the third time. 90 00:04:48,089 --> 00:04:50,120 He explained this by saying: 91 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,120 "It is more thirst-quenching," 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,120 Meaning more palatable, easier to swallow, and easier to digest, 93 00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,120 "And satisfying," meaning more hydrating and better at quenching thirst. 94 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120 In one narration, there is an addition: "and more healing," 95 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Meaning more restorative and healthy, 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,120 And safer from the harm that occurs 97 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,120 Due to drinking all at once. 98 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,149 Among those harms 99 00:05:13,149 --> 00:05:15,149 Is the fear of choking, 100 00:05:15,149 --> 00:05:19,149 Where the throat becomes blocked due to the large amount of liquid entering it, 101 00:05:19,149 --> 00:05:21,220 Causing one to choke. 102 00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:23,220 It has been reported in some hadiths 103 00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:25,220 That breathing into the vessel is forbidden. 104 00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:29,220 For the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 105 00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:31,220 "When one of you drinks, 106 00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:34,220 Do not breathe into the vessel." 107 00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:37,250 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, 108 00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:40,250 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 109 00:05:40,250 --> 00:05:42,250 Forbade breathing into the vessel, 110 00:05:42,250 --> 00:05:44,250 Or blowing into it. 111 00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:46,379 There is no contradiction in this, 112 00:05:46,379 --> 00:05:50,379 Because the hadiths refer to two different situations. 113 00:05:50,379 --> 00:05:52,379 The first: 114 00:05:52,379 --> 00:05:54,379 Breathing inside the vessel, 115 00:05:54,379 --> 00:05:56,379 And this is what is forbidden. 116 00:05:56,379 --> 00:05:58,379 The second: 117 00:05:58,379 --> 00:06:00,379 Breathing outside the vessel, 118 00:06:00,379 --> 00:06:05,379 And this is what the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to do. 119 00:06:05,379 --> 00:06:09,589 On the authority of Kabsha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 120 00:06:09,589 --> 00:06:13,589 The Prophet, peace be upon him, entered upon me, 121 00:06:13,589 --> 00:06:18,589 And drank from the mouth of a hanging water skin while standing. 122 00:06:18,589 --> 00:06:21,939 So I stood up to its mouth and cut it off. 123 00:06:21,939 --> 00:06:24,939 On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 124 00:06:24,939 --> 00:06:27,939 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 125 00:06:27,939 --> 00:06:29,939 Entered upon Umm Sulaym, 126 00:06:29,939 --> 00:06:31,939 And there was a hanging water skin, 127 00:06:31,939 --> 00:06:35,939 So he drank from the mouth of the water skin while standing. 128 00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:38,939 Umm Sulaym stood up to the top of the water skin, 129 00:06:38,939 --> 00:06:42,509 And cut it off. 130 00:06:42,509 --> 00:06:44,509 In the first hadith, 131 00:06:44,509 --> 00:06:46,509 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 132 00:06:46,509 --> 00:06:50,509 Entered upon Kabsha bint Thabit al-Ansariyya, 133 00:06:50,509 --> 00:06:52,509 Who was the sister of Hassan ibn Thabit, 134 00:06:52,509 --> 00:06:54,509 May Allah be pleased with them both, 135 00:06:54,509 --> 00:06:57,509 And he drank from the mouth of a hanging water skin. 136 00:06:57,509 --> 00:07:01,509 The water skin is a container for storing water, 137 00:07:01,509 --> 00:07:03,509 Made from tanned leather. 138 00:07:03,509 --> 00:07:06,509 And her saying "while standing" 139 00:07:06,509 --> 00:07:08,509 Means that he, peace be upon him, 140 00:07:08,509 --> 00:07:10,509 Drank while standing. 141 00:07:10,509 --> 00:07:13,509 It is clear that he did this out of necessity, 142 00:07:13,509 --> 00:07:17,509 Because he drank from the mouth of a hanging water skin. 143 00:07:17,509 --> 00:07:21,540 And her saying "I stood up to its mouth and cut it off," 144 00:07:21,540 --> 00:07:23,540 Means she went to the mouth of the water skin 145 00:07:23,540 --> 00:07:27,540 From which the Prophet, peace be upon him, had drunk, 146 00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:29,540 And which his mouth had touched, 147 00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:32,540 And she cut it off to keep it. 148 00:07:32,540 --> 00:07:36,540 They used to seek blessings from his saliva, peace be upon him, 149 00:07:36,540 --> 00:07:38,579 And from his traces. 150 00:07:38,579 --> 00:07:40,579 The second hadith is similar to this, 151 00:07:40,579 --> 00:07:43,579 Except that he, peace be upon him, 152 00:07:43,579 --> 00:07:47,579 Did that at the home of Umm Sulaym, may Allah be pleased with her. 153 00:07:47,579 --> 00:07:50,740 It is understood from these two hadiths 154 00:07:50,740 --> 00:07:53,740 That it is permissible to drink from the mouth of a water skin, 155 00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:56,740 Although there are hadiths that forbid 156 00:07:56,740 --> 00:07:58,740 Drinking from the mouth of a water skin. 157 00:07:58,740 --> 00:08:02,740 Among them is the hadith of Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 158 00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:06,740 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, forbade 159 00:08:06,740 --> 00:08:09,740 Drinking from the mouth of a water skin or a container. 160 00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:13,829 And the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 161 00:08:13,829 --> 00:08:17,829 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, forbade 162 00:08:17,829 --> 00:08:19,829 The "ikhtinath" of water skins, 163 00:08:19,829 --> 00:08:22,930 Which means drinking from their mouths. 164 00:08:22,930 --> 00:08:24,930 As for the reason for the prohibition, 165 00:08:24,930 --> 00:08:26,930 Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 166 00:08:26,930 --> 00:08:31,930 The reason is that one cannot be sure that there is nothing in the water skin that might harm him, 167 00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:34,929 So it might enter his body without him knowing. 168 00:08:34,929 --> 00:08:38,929 It is also said that it is because it might be unhygienic for others, 169 00:08:38,929 --> 00:08:41,929 Or that it might cause it to smell, 170 00:08:41,929 --> 00:08:43,929 Or because it is considered repulsive. 171 00:08:43,929 --> 00:08:47,929 Therefore, the default rule regarding drinking from the mouth of a water skin is prohibition, 172 00:08:47,929 --> 00:08:49,929 A prohibition of dislike (tanzih), not of prohibition (tahrim). 173 00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:51,929 However, if there is an excuse, 174 00:08:51,929 --> 00:08:54,929 Such as the water skin being hung up, 175 00:08:54,929 --> 00:08:58,929 And the person needing to drink cannot find a cup available, 176 00:08:58,929 --> 00:09:01,929 And is unable to reach it with his hand, 177 00:09:01,929 --> 00:09:03,929 Then there is no dislike in that case. 178 00:09:03,929 --> 00:09:07,929 The aforementioned hadiths are interpreted in this light. 179 00:09:07,929 --> 00:09:11,929 This is supported by the fact that all the hadiths permitting it 180 00:09:11,929 --> 00:09:14,990 Mention that the water skin was hanging. 181 00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:18,990 This ruling does not apply to drinking from metal cans 182 00:09:18,990 --> 00:09:20,990 Or small glass bottles, 183 00:09:20,990 --> 00:09:24,990 In which juices and various drinks are sold, 184 00:09:24,990 --> 00:09:27,990 Because the reason for the prohibition is absent in them. 185 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:36,519 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the use of perfume by the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 186 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:44,509 Meaning, an explanation of the hadiths narrated regarding the use of perfume by the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 187 00:09:44,509 --> 00:09:47,509 "Ta'attur" is the use of perfume, 188 00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:49,509 Which is fragrance. 189 00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:53,509 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to love perfume, 190 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:58,509 Despite the natural fragrance of his own body, peace be upon him, 191 00:09:58,509 --> 00:10:01,509 Even if he did not apply any perfume. 192 00:10:01,509 --> 00:10:06,730 On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 193 00:10:06,730 --> 00:10:12,730 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had a container (sukka) from which he would perfume himself. 194 00:10:12,730 --> 00:10:15,850 In this hadith, 195 00:10:15,850 --> 00:10:21,850 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, had a container from which he would perfume himself. 196 00:10:21,850 --> 00:10:28,480 The "sukka" is a container in which perfume is kept. 197 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,480 On the authority of Thumama ibn 'Abdullah, who said: 198 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,480 Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, would never refuse perfume. 199 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,480 Anas said: 200 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,480 The Prophet, peace be upon him, would never refuse perfume. 201 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,659 In this hadith, 202 00:10:46,659 --> 00:10:51,659 it is noted that Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, would not refuse perfume. 203 00:10:51,659 --> 00:10:56,659 He would do this in emulation of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 204 00:10:56,659 --> 00:10:58,659 as he would not refuse perfume 205 00:10:58,659 --> 00:11:02,659 because it is light to carry and pleasant in scent. 206 00:11:02,659 --> 00:11:07,230 Such a thing should not be refused. 207 00:11:07,230 --> 00:11:10,230 On the authority of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: 208 00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:14,230 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 209 00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:16,230 "Three things should not be refused: 210 00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:20,230 pillows, perfume, and milk." 211 00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:23,379 In this hadith, 212 00:11:23,379 --> 00:11:28,379 the Prophet, peace be upon him, indicated three things that should not be refused, 213 00:11:28,379 --> 00:11:33,379 meaning that if they are offered to a person, he should not decline them. 214 00:11:33,379 --> 00:11:35,379 These are pillows; 215 00:11:35,379 --> 00:11:39,379 "pillows" (wasa'id) is the plural of "pillow" (wisada), which is a cushion. 216 00:11:39,379 --> 00:11:43,379 If one is offered so that he may lean upon it, he should not refuse it. 217 00:11:43,379 --> 00:11:46,379 "Perfume" (al-duhn), which refers to fragrance. 218 00:11:46,379 --> 00:11:48,379 And milk. 219 00:11:48,379 --> 00:11:53,379 The excellence of milk over other foods has already been discussed. 220 00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:56,379 The specification of these three as things not to be refused 221 00:11:56,379 --> 00:11:59,379 is due to their lightness and lack of burden, 222 00:11:59,379 --> 00:12:01,379 and the minimal sense of obligation they entail. 223 00:12:01,379 --> 00:12:03,379 Furthermore, these items 224 00:12:03,379 --> 00:12:06,379 are often offered to a guest, 225 00:12:06,379 --> 00:12:09,379 so he should not refuse them. 226 00:12:09,379 --> 00:12:13,629 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: 227 00:12:13,629 --> 00:12:17,629 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 228 00:12:17,629 --> 00:12:19,629 "The perfume for men 229 00:12:19,629 --> 00:12:22,629 is that which has a visible scent but a hidden color, 230 00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:24,629 and the perfume for women 231 00:12:24,629 --> 00:12:27,629 is that which has a visible color but a hidden scent." 232 00:12:27,629 --> 00:12:31,230 In this hadith, 233 00:12:31,230 --> 00:12:35,230 there is guidance that perfume is recommended for men 234 00:12:35,230 --> 00:12:38,230 just as it is recommended for women. 235 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:41,230 However, what is recommended for men in terms of perfume 236 00:12:41,230 --> 00:12:44,230 is that which has a visible scent and a hidden color. 237 00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:45,230 As for the woman, 238 00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:48,230 if she intends to go out to the mosque or elsewhere, 239 00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:52,419 any perfume with a noticeable scent is disliked for her. 240 00:12:52,419 --> 00:12:54,419 His saying "the perfume for men" 241 00:12:54,419 --> 00:12:56,419 means that which is appropriate for them, 242 00:12:56,419 --> 00:12:58,419 suitable for their dignity, 243 00:12:58,419 --> 00:13:00,419 and permitted for them, 244 00:13:00,419 --> 00:13:03,419 is that which has a visible scent and a hidden color. 245 00:13:03,419 --> 00:13:05,419 That is, it has a clear fragrance 246 00:13:05,419 --> 00:13:07,419 and no color, 247 00:13:07,419 --> 00:13:10,419 such as musk, ambergris, and oud. 248 00:13:10,419 --> 00:13:12,419 His saying "and the perfume for women" 249 00:13:12,419 --> 00:13:14,419 means that which is appropriate for them, 250 00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:17,419 is that which has a visible color and a hidden scent, 251 00:13:17,419 --> 00:13:19,419 such as cosmetic powders. 252 00:13:19,419 --> 00:13:20,419 The intent here 253 00:13:20,419 --> 00:13:23,419 is when she intends to leave her house. 254 00:13:23,419 --> 00:13:26,419 As for when she is with her husband, 255 00:13:26,419 --> 00:13:29,419 she may perfume herself however she wishes. 256 00:13:29,419 --> 00:13:32,549 The Prophet, peace be upon him, was strict 257 00:13:32,549 --> 00:13:33,549 regarding the perfume of women 258 00:13:33,549 --> 00:13:36,549 when they leave their homes, 259 00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:37,549 for he said: 260 00:13:37,549 --> 00:13:39,549 "Any woman who applies perfume 261 00:13:39,549 --> 00:13:43,549 and passes by a group of people so that they may smell her scent, 262 00:13:43,549 --> 00:13:45,549 she is a fornicatress." 263 00:13:45,549 --> 00:13:50,149 On the authority of Abu Uthman al-Nahdi, he said: 264 00:13:50,149 --> 00:13:53,149 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 265 00:13:53,149 --> 00:13:56,149 "If one of you is given basil (rayhan), 266 00:13:56,149 --> 00:13:58,149 he should not refuse it, 267 00:13:58,149 --> 00:14:01,149 for it came from Paradise." 268 00:14:01,149 --> 00:14:04,750 This hadith is weak, 269 00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:07,750 but it is supported by what is narrated in Sahih Muslim 270 00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:10,750 from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 271 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:14,750 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 272 00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:17,750 "Whoever is offered basil, 273 00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:18,750 let him not refuse it, 274 00:14:18,750 --> 00:14:22,750 for it is light to carry and pleasant in scent." 275 00:14:22,750 --> 00:14:26,750 Meaning, carrying it does not burden a person nor cause him difficulty. 276 00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:28,750 And at the same time, 277 00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:31,750 it has a pleasant, fragrant scent. 278 00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:33,779 "Basil" (rayhan) 279 00:14:33,779 --> 00:14:36,779 is any fragrant plant that is smelled. 280 00:14:36,779 --> 00:14:38,850 As for his saying, 281 00:14:38,850 --> 00:14:40,850 "for it came from Paradise," 282 00:14:40,850 --> 00:14:44,850 the meaning is that its origin came from Paradise. 283 00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:48,070 Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said 284 00:14:48,070 --> 00:14:50,070 regarding this hadith: 285 00:14:50,070 --> 00:14:53,070 It indicates the dislike of refusing basil when it is offered to someone, 286 00:14:53,070 --> 00:14:54,070 unless there is an excuse. 287 00:14:54,070 --> 00:14:57,070 Meaning, if a person has an excuse, 288 00:14:57,070 --> 00:15:01,070 such as an illness that makes him unable to tolerate the scent of perfume, 289 00:15:01,070 --> 00:15:06,070 or if the perfume has a strong scent that a person cannot bear, 290 00:15:06,070 --> 00:15:09,070 then he may excuse himself with kind words, 291 00:15:09,070 --> 00:15:13,769 and he is not obligated to accept it. 292 00:15:13,769 --> 00:15:17,990 It is narrated in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad 293 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:20,990 from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 294 00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:23,990 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 295 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:26,990 "There have been made beloved to me from your world: 296 00:15:26,990 --> 00:15:28,990 women and perfume, 297 00:15:28,990 --> 00:15:31,990 and the coolness of my eyes has been placed in prayer." 298 00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:35,059 It is also established from him, peace be upon him, 299 00:15:35,059 --> 00:15:37,059 that he preferred musk. 300 00:15:37,059 --> 00:15:41,059 On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: 301 00:15:41,059 --> 00:15:44,059 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 302 00:15:44,059 --> 00:15:47,059 "The best of perfumes is musk." 303 00:15:47,059 --> 00:15:50,090 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 304 00:15:50,090 --> 00:15:54,090 The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to love perfume 305 00:15:54,090 --> 00:15:56,090 and it was always with him. 306 00:15:56,090 --> 00:15:59,090 His own scent was among the most pleasant of scents, 307 00:15:59,090 --> 00:16:02,090 and his sweat was among the best of perfumes. 308 00:16:02,090 --> 00:16:04,090 He also said: 309 00:16:04,090 --> 00:16:06,090 "Perfume has the property 310 00:16:06,090 --> 00:16:08,090 that the angels love it, 311 00:16:08,090 --> 00:16:11,090 while the devils flee from it. 312 00:16:11,090 --> 00:16:14,090 The most beloved thing to the devils 313 00:16:14,090 --> 00:16:17,090 is a foul, repulsive odor. 314 00:16:17,090 --> 00:16:19,090 Thus, pure souls love 315 00:16:19,090 --> 00:16:21,090 pure scents, 316 00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:23,090 and wicked souls love 317 00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:25,090 wicked scents, 318 00:16:25,090 --> 00:16:29,090 and every soul inclines toward what is suitable for it." 319 00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:31,379 The scholars have said: 320 00:16:31,379 --> 00:16:33,379 It is recommended for the Muslim to always 321 00:16:33,379 --> 00:16:36,379 have a pleasant scent, 322 00:16:36,379 --> 00:16:38,379 and to be diligent in removing whatever might 323 00:16:38,379 --> 00:16:41,379 cling to his body of foul odor, 324 00:16:41,379 --> 00:16:44,379 or from his mouth of the smell of smoke, 325 00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:46,500 and other such things. 326 00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:48,500 Perfume is especially emphasized for men 327 00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:50,500 on occasions like Friday, 328 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,500 the two Eids, when entering the state of Ihram, 329 00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:55,500 attending gatherings, 330 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:57,500 reciting the Qur'an, 331 00:16:57,500 --> 00:16:59,500 attending circles of knowledge, 332 00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:03,139 and gatherings of dhikr. 333 00:17:03,139 --> 00:17:05,140 More to follow, if Allah wills. 334 00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:07,140 And Allah knows best. 335 00:17:07,140 --> 00:17:10,140 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, 336 00:17:10,140 --> 00:17:14,140 and upon all his family and companions.
