WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.139 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:07.139 --> 00:00:09.199 With pens of longing, 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.779 And the ink of love, 00:00:11.779 --> 00:00:15.900 We record lines more precious than gold, 00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:17.899 In describing the Master of all creation, 00:00:17.899 --> 00:00:20.899 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:20.899 --> 00:00:30.600 The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il). 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. 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.939 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:00:41.939 --> 00:00:45.939 I served the Prophet, peace be upon him, water from Zamzam, 00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:47.939 And he drank while standing. 00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:51.609 In this hadith, 00:00:51.609 --> 00:00:56.609 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, drank from Zamzam while standing, 00:00:56.609 --> 00:00:59.609 Which is contrary to his usual practice. 00:00:59.609 --> 00:01:03.609 This was a situation that necessitated drinking while standing. 00:01:03.609 --> 00:01:06.609 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 00:01:06.609 --> 00:01:10.609 It was the guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to drink while sitting. 00:01:10.609 --> 00:01:13.609 This was his habitual practice. 00:01:13.609 --> 00:01:17.609 It is authentically reported that he forbade drinking while standing. 00:01:17.609 --> 00:01:22.609 It is also authentically reported that he ordered someone who drank while standing to vomit. 00:01:22.609 --> 00:01:25.609 And it is authentically reported that he himself drank while standing. 00:01:25.609 --> 00:01:27.609 One group said: 00:01:27.609 --> 00:01:29.609 This [latter action] abrogates the prohibition. 00:01:29.609 --> 00:01:31.609 Another group said: 00:01:31.609 --> 00:01:34.609 Rather, it clarifies that the prohibition is not for prohibition (tahrim), 00:01:34.609 --> 00:01:37.609 But for guidance and the abandonment of what is better (tark al-awla). 00:01:37.609 --> 00:01:39.609 A third group said: 00:01:39.609 --> 00:01:42.609 There is no contradiction between them at all, 00:01:42.609 --> 00:01:45.609 For he only drank while standing due to necessity. 00:01:45.609 --> 00:01:49.609 He came to Zamzam while they were drawing water from it, 00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:51.609 So he asked for water, 00:01:51.609 --> 00:01:53.609 They handed him the bucket, 00:01:53.609 --> 00:01:55.609 And he drank while standing. 00:01:55.609 --> 00:01:57.609 This was a situation of necessity. 00:01:57.609 --> 00:02:01.140 On the authority of 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, 00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:04.140 From his father, from his grandfather, who said: 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:07.140 I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:10.139 Drinking while standing and while sitting. 00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:13.259 In this hadith, 00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:15.259 The noble Companion, 00:02:15.259 --> 00:02:19.259 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As, may Allah be pleased with them both, informs us 00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:22.259 That he saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:02:22.259 --> 00:02:24.259 Drinking while standing, 00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:26.259 And that was on some occasions, 00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:29.259 And he saw him drinking while sitting, 00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:31.259 Which was the case in most situations, 00:02:31.259 --> 00:02:34.259 And this is the guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:02:34.259 --> 00:02:36.259 Regarding drinking. 00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:40.479 On the authority of al-Nazzal ibn Sabra, who said: 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.479 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, was brought a cup of water, 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.479 While he was in the courtyard (rahba), 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.479 He took a handful from it, 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:49.479 Washed his hands, 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.479 Rinsed his mouth and sniffed water into his nose, 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.479 And wiped his face, forearms, and head, 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.479 Then he drank from it while standing. 00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:59.479 Then he said: 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.479 This is the ablution of one who has not broken it, 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:08.479 This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, do. 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.569 In this hadith, 00:03:11.569 --> 00:03:14.569 It is mentioned that 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:17.569 Was brought a cup of water while he was in the courtyard. 00:03:17.569 --> 00:03:21.569 The courtyard is the wide space in the mosque or similar places. 00:03:21.569 --> 00:03:24.629 He washed his hands, rinsed his mouth, and sniffed water into his nose, 00:03:24.629 --> 00:03:27.629 And wiped his face, forearms, and head, 00:03:27.629 --> 00:03:30.629 And in one narration, there is an addition: "and his feet." 00:03:30.629 --> 00:03:33.629 Then he drank while standing. 00:03:33.629 --> 00:03:36.629 This is the point of evidence in the hadith. 00:03:36.629 --> 00:03:40.659 In another narration, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:42.659 Came to the gate of the courtyard, 00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:44.659 And drank while standing, 00:03:44.659 --> 00:03:45.659 Then he said: 00:03:45.659 --> 00:03:50.659 Some people dislike drinking while standing, 00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:54.659 But I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, do 00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:56.659 Just as you have seen me do. 00:03:57.889 --> 00:04:01.889 This indicates that drinking while standing is permissible, 00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:05.889 And that the prohibition regarding it is interpreted as a dislike of impropriety (karahat tanzih). 00:04:05.889 --> 00:04:10.490 On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:04:10.490 --> 00:04:13.490 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:04:13.490 --> 00:04:17.490 Used to breathe three times into the vessel when he drank, 00:04:17.490 --> 00:04:20.490 And he would say: "It is more thirst-quenching and satisfying." 00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:24.089 In this hadith, 00:04:24.089 --> 00:04:27.089 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:04:27.089 --> 00:04:31.089 Had the habit of not drinking all at once, 00:04:31.089 --> 00:04:34.089 But rather he would drink in three draughts. 00:04:34.089 --> 00:04:39.089 He would drink, then remove the vessel from his mouth to breathe, 00:04:39.089 --> 00:04:41.089 Then return to drink, 00:04:41.089 --> 00:04:45.089 Then remove the vessel from his mouth to breathe, 00:04:45.089 --> 00:04:48.089 Then return to drink the third time. 00:04:48.089 --> 00:04:50.120 He explained this by saying: 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.120 "It is more thirst-quenching," 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.120 Meaning more palatable, easier to swallow, and easier to digest, 00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:00.120 "And satisfying," meaning more hydrating and better at quenching thirst. 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.120 In one narration, there is an addition: "and more healing," 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.120 Meaning more restorative and healthy, 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.120 And safer from the harm that occurs 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.120 Due to drinking all at once. 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.149 Among those harms 00:05:13.149 --> 00:05:15.149 Is the fear of choking, 00:05:15.149 --> 00:05:19.149 Where the throat becomes blocked due to the large amount of liquid entering it, 00:05:19.149 --> 00:05:21.220 Causing one to choke. 00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:23.220 It has been reported in some hadiths 00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:25.220 That breathing into the vessel is forbidden. 00:05:25.220 --> 00:05:29.220 For the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:05:29.220 --> 00:05:31.220 "When one of you drinks, 00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:34.220 Do not breathe into the vessel." 00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:37.250 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, 00:05:37.250 --> 00:05:40.250 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:05:40.250 --> 00:05:42.250 Forbade breathing into the vessel, 00:05:42.250 --> 00:05:44.250 Or blowing into it. 00:05:44.250 --> 00:05:46.379 There is no contradiction in this, 00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:50.379 Because the hadiths refer to two different situations. 00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:52.379 The first: 00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:54.379 Breathing inside the vessel, 00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:56.379 And this is what is forbidden. 00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:58.379 The second: 00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:00.379 Breathing outside the vessel, 00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:05.379 And this is what the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to do. 00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:09.589 On the authority of Kabsha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 00:06:09.589 --> 00:06:13.589 The Prophet, peace be upon him, entered upon me, 00:06:13.589 --> 00:06:18.589 And drank from the mouth of a hanging water skin while standing. 00:06:18.589 --> 00:06:21.939 So I stood up to its mouth and cut it off. 00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:24.939 On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:27.939 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:29.939 Entered upon Umm Sulaym, 00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:31.939 And there was a hanging water skin, 00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:35.939 So he drank from the mouth of the water skin while standing. 00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:38.939 Umm Sulaym stood up to the top of the water skin, 00:06:38.939 --> 00:06:42.509 And cut it off. 00:06:42.509 --> 00:06:44.509 In the first hadith, 00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:46.509 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:06:46.509 --> 00:06:50.509 Entered upon Kabsha bint Thabit al-Ansariyya, 00:06:50.509 --> 00:06:52.509 Who was the sister of Hassan ibn Thabit, 00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:54.509 May Allah be pleased with them both, 00:06:54.509 --> 00:06:57.509 And he drank from the mouth of a hanging water skin. 00:06:57.509 --> 00:07:01.509 The water skin is a container for storing water, 00:07:01.509 --> 00:07:03.509 Made from tanned leather. 00:07:03.509 --> 00:07:06.509 And her saying "while standing" 00:07:06.509 --> 00:07:08.509 Means that he, peace be upon him, 00:07:08.509 --> 00:07:10.509 Drank while standing. 00:07:10.509 --> 00:07:13.509 It is clear that he did this out of necessity, 00:07:13.509 --> 00:07:17.509 Because he drank from the mouth of a hanging water skin. 00:07:17.509 --> 00:07:21.540 And her saying "I stood up to its mouth and cut it off," 00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:23.540 Means she went to the mouth of the water skin 00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:27.540 From which the Prophet, peace be upon him, had drunk, 00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:29.540 And which his mouth had touched, 00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:32.540 And she cut it off to keep it. 00:07:32.540 --> 00:07:36.540 They used to seek blessings from his saliva, peace be upon him, 00:07:36.540 --> 00:07:38.579 And from his traces. 00:07:38.579 --> 00:07:40.579 The second hadith is similar to this, 00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:43.579 Except that he, peace be upon him, 00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:47.579 Did that at the home of Umm Sulaym, may Allah be pleased with her. 00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:50.740 It is understood from these two hadiths 00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.740 That it is permissible to drink from the mouth of a water skin, 00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:56.740 Although there are hadiths that forbid 00:07:56.740 --> 00:07:58.740 Drinking from the mouth of a water skin. 00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:02.740 Among them is the hadith of Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:06.740 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, forbade 00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:09.740 Drinking from the mouth of a water skin or a container. 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: 00:08:13.829 --> 00:08:17.829 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, forbade 00:08:17.829 --> 00:08:19.829 The "ikhtinath" of water skins, 00:08:19.829 --> 00:08:22.930 Which means drinking from their mouths. 00:08:22.930 --> 00:08:24.930 As for the reason for the prohibition, 00:08:24.930 --> 00:08:26.930 Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 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, 00:08:31.930 --> 00:08:34.929 So it might enter his body without him knowing. 00:08:34.929 --> 00:08:38.929 It is also said that it is because it might be unhygienic for others, 00:08:38.929 --> 00:08:41.929 Or that it might cause it to smell, 00:08:41.929 --> 00:08:43.929 Or because it is considered repulsive. 00:08:43.929 --> 00:08:47.929 Therefore, the default rule regarding drinking from the mouth of a water skin is prohibition, 00:08:47.929 --> 00:08:49.929 A prohibition of dislike (tanzih), not of prohibition (tahrim). 00:08:49.929 --> 00:08:51.929 However, if there is an excuse, 00:08:51.929 --> 00:08:54.929 Such as the water skin being hung up, 00:08:54.929 --> 00:08:58.929 And the person needing to drink cannot find a cup available, 00:08:58.929 --> 00:09:01.929 And is unable to reach it with his hand, 00:09:01.929 --> 00:09:03.929 Then there is no dislike in that case. 00:09:03.929 --> 00:09:07.929 The aforementioned hadiths are interpreted in this light. 00:09:07.929 --> 00:09:11.929 This is supported by the fact that all the hadiths permitting it 00:09:11.929 --> 00:09:14.990 Mention that the water skin was hanging. 00:09:14.990 --> 00:09:18.990 This ruling does not apply to drinking from metal cans 00:09:18.990 --> 00:09:20.990 Or small glass bottles, 00:09:20.990 --> 00:09:24.990 In which juices and various drinks are sold, 00:09:24.990 --> 00:09:27.990 Because the reason for the prohibition is absent in them. 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. 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. 00:09:44.509 --> 00:09:47.509 "Ta'attur" is the use of perfume, 00:09:47.509 --> 00:09:49.509 Which is fragrance. 00:09:49.509 --> 00:09:53.509 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to love perfume, 00:09:53.509 --> 00:09:58.509 Despite the natural fragrance of his own body, peace be upon him, 00:09:58.509 --> 00:10:01.509 Even if he did not apply any perfume. 00:10:01.509 --> 00:10:06.730 On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 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. 00:10:12.730 --> 00:10:15.850 In this hadith, 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. 00:10:21.850 --> 00:10:28.480 The "sukka" is a container in which perfume is kept. 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.480 On the authority of Thumama ibn 'Abdullah, who said: 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:36.480 Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, would never refuse perfume. 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.480 Anas said: 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:43.480 The Prophet, peace be upon him, would never refuse perfume. 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.659 In this hadith, 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. 00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:56.659 He would do this in emulation of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:10:56.659 --> 00:10:58.659 as he would not refuse perfume 00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:02.659 because it is light to carry and pleasant in scent. 00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:07.230 Such a thing should not be refused. 00:11:07.230 --> 00:11:10.230 On the authority of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: 00:11:10.230 --> 00:11:14.230 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:11:14.230 --> 00:11:16.230 "Three things should not be refused: 00:11:16.230 --> 00:11:20.230 pillows, perfume, and milk." 00:11:20.230 --> 00:11:23.379 In this hadith, 00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:28.379 the Prophet, peace be upon him, indicated three things that should not be refused, 00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:33.379 meaning that if they are offered to a person, he should not decline them. 00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:35.379 These are pillows; 00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:39.379 "pillows" (wasa'id) is the plural of "pillow" (wisada), which is a cushion. 00:11:39.379 --> 00:11:43.379 If one is offered so that he may lean upon it, he should not refuse it. 00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:46.379 "Perfume" (al-duhn), which refers to fragrance. 00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:48.379 And milk. 00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:53.379 The excellence of milk over other foods has already been discussed. 00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:56.379 The specification of these three as things not to be refused 00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:59.379 is due to their lightness and lack of burden, 00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:01.379 and the minimal sense of obligation they entail. 00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:03.379 Furthermore, these items 00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:06.379 are often offered to a guest, 00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:09.379 so he should not refuse them. 00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:13.629 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: 00:12:13.629 --> 00:12:17.629 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:12:17.629 --> 00:12:19.629 "The perfume for men 00:12:19.629 --> 00:12:22.629 is that which has a visible scent but a hidden color, 00:12:22.629 --> 00:12:24.629 and the perfume for women 00:12:24.629 --> 00:12:27.629 is that which has a visible color but a hidden scent." 00:12:27.629 --> 00:12:31.230 In this hadith, 00:12:31.230 --> 00:12:35.230 there is guidance that perfume is recommended for men 00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:38.230 just as it is recommended for women. 00:12:38.230 --> 00:12:41.230 However, what is recommended for men in terms of perfume 00:12:41.230 --> 00:12:44.230 is that which has a visible scent and a hidden color. 00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:45.230 As for the woman, 00:12:45.230 --> 00:12:48.230 if she intends to go out to the mosque or elsewhere, 00:12:48.230 --> 00:12:52.419 any perfume with a noticeable scent is disliked for her. 00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:54.419 His saying "the perfume for men" 00:12:54.419 --> 00:12:56.419 means that which is appropriate for them, 00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:58.419 suitable for their dignity, 00:12:58.419 --> 00:13:00.419 and permitted for them, 00:13:00.419 --> 00:13:03.419 is that which has a visible scent and a hidden color. 00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:05.419 That is, it has a clear fragrance 00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:07.419 and no color, 00:13:07.419 --> 00:13:10.419 such as musk, ambergris, and oud. 00:13:10.419 --> 00:13:12.419 His saying "and the perfume for women" 00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:14.419 means that which is appropriate for them, 00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:17.419 is that which has a visible color and a hidden scent, 00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:19.419 such as cosmetic powders. 00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:20.419 The intent here 00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:23.419 is when she intends to leave her house. 00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:26.419 As for when she is with her husband, 00:13:26.419 --> 00:13:29.419 she may perfume herself however she wishes. 00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:32.549 The Prophet, peace be upon him, was strict 00:13:32.549 --> 00:13:33.549 regarding the perfume of women 00:13:33.549 --> 00:13:36.549 when they leave their homes, 00:13:36.549 --> 00:13:37.549 for he said: 00:13:37.549 --> 00:13:39.549 "Any woman who applies perfume 00:13:39.549 --> 00:13:43.549 and passes by a group of people so that they may smell her scent, 00:13:43.549 --> 00:13:45.549 she is a fornicatress." 00:13:45.549 --> 00:13:50.149 On the authority of Abu Uthman al-Nahdi, he said: 00:13:50.149 --> 00:13:53.149 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:13:53.149 --> 00:13:56.149 "If one of you is given basil (rayhan), 00:13:56.149 --> 00:13:58.149 he should not refuse it, 00:13:58.149 --> 00:14:01.149 for it came from Paradise." 00:14:01.149 --> 00:14:04.750 This hadith is weak, 00:14:04.750 --> 00:14:07.750 but it is supported by what is narrated in Sahih Muslim 00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:10.750 from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:14:11.750 --> 00:14:14.750 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 00:14:14.750 --> 00:14:17.750 "Whoever is offered basil, 00:14:17.750 --> 00:14:18.750 let him not refuse it, 00:14:18.750 --> 00:14:22.750 for it is light to carry and pleasant in scent." 00:14:22.750 --> 00:14:26.750 Meaning, carrying it does not burden a person nor cause him difficulty. 00:14:26.750 --> 00:14:28.750 And at the same time, 00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:31.750 it has a pleasant, fragrant scent. 00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:33.779 "Basil" (rayhan) 00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:36.779 is any fragrant plant that is smelled. 00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:38.850 As for his saying, 00:14:38.850 --> 00:14:40.850 "for it came from Paradise," 00:14:40.850 --> 00:14:44.850 the meaning is that its origin came from Paradise. 00:14:44.850 --> 00:14:48.070 Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said 00:14:48.070 --> 00:14:50.070 regarding this hadith: 00:14:50.070 --> 00:14:53.070 It indicates the dislike of refusing basil when it is offered to someone, 00:14:53.070 --> 00:14:54.070 unless there is an excuse. 00:14:54.070 --> 00:14:57.070 Meaning, if a person has an excuse, 00:14:57.070 --> 00:15:01.070 such as an illness that makes him unable to tolerate the scent of perfume, 00:15:01.070 --> 00:15:06.070 or if the perfume has a strong scent that a person cannot bear, 00:15:06.070 --> 00:15:09.070 then he may excuse himself with kind words, 00:15:09.070 --> 00:15:13.769 and he is not obligated to accept it. 00:15:13.769 --> 00:15:17.990 It is narrated in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad 00:15:17.990 --> 00:15:20.990 from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:15:20.990 --> 00:15:23.990 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:15:23.990 --> 00:15:26.990 "There have been made beloved to me from your world: 00:15:26.990 --> 00:15:28.990 women and perfume, 00:15:28.990 --> 00:15:31.990 and the coolness of my eyes has been placed in prayer." 00:15:31.990 --> 00:15:35.059 It is also established from him, peace be upon him, 00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:37.059 that he preferred musk. 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: 00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:44.059 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:47.059 "The best of perfumes is musk." 00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:50.090 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 00:15:50.090 --> 00:15:54.090 The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to love perfume 00:15:54.090 --> 00:15:56.090 and it was always with him. 00:15:56.090 --> 00:15:59.090 His own scent was among the most pleasant of scents, 00:15:59.090 --> 00:16:02.090 and his sweat was among the best of perfumes. 00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:04.090 He also said: 00:16:04.090 --> 00:16:06.090 "Perfume has the property 00:16:06.090 --> 00:16:08.090 that the angels love it, 00:16:08.090 --> 00:16:11.090 while the devils flee from it. 00:16:11.090 --> 00:16:14.090 The most beloved thing to the devils 00:16:14.090 --> 00:16:17.090 is a foul, repulsive odor. 00:16:17.090 --> 00:16:19.090 Thus, pure souls love 00:16:19.090 --> 00:16:21.090 pure scents, 00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:23.090 and wicked souls love 00:16:23.090 --> 00:16:25.090 wicked scents, 00:16:25.090 --> 00:16:29.090 and every soul inclines toward what is suitable for it." 00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:31.379 The scholars have said: 00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:33.379 It is recommended for the Muslim to always 00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:36.379 have a pleasant scent, 00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:38.379 and to be diligent in removing whatever might 00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:41.379 cling to his body of foul odor, 00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:44.379 or from his mouth of the smell of smoke, 00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:46.500 and other such things. 00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.500 Perfume is especially emphasized for men 00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:50.500 on occasions like Friday, 00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:53.500 the two Eids, when entering the state of Ihram, 00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:55.500 attending gatherings, 00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:57.500 reciting the Qur'an, 00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:59.500 attending circles of knowledge, 00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:03.139 and gatherings of dhikr. 00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:05.140 More to follow, if Allah wills. 00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:07.140 And Allah knows best. 00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:10.140 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, 00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:14.140 and upon all his family and companions.
