The Abridged Sahih al-Bukhari

00:00:17.809 --> 00:00:21.489
Chapter: Not Standing for the Sick

00:00:21.489 --> 00:00:25.570
On the authority of Jundub Ibn Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:29.570
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, fell ill,

00:00:29.570 --> 00:00:33.170
and he did not stand [for night prayer] for two or three nights.

00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:35.259
In another narration:

00:00:35.259 --> 00:00:38.219
The revelation of Jibril, peace be upon him, was withheld

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:42.000
from the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.880
A woman came and said:

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.399
"O Muhammad,

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.880
I truly hope that your devil has abandoned you;

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.689
I have not seen him near you for two or three nights."

00:00:55.689 --> 00:00:58.289
Then Allah, the Almighty, revealed:

00:00:58.289 --> 00:00:59.570
﴾By the morning brightness,﴿

00:00:59.570 --> 00:01:01.729
﴾And [by] the night when it covers with darkness.﴿

00:01:01.729 --> 00:01:06.030
“Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,” (93:3)

00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:09.859
Commentary on the hadith:

00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:11.140
"Fell ill" (ishtaka):

00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:12.579
Meaning, he became sick.

00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:13.859
"A woman":

00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:16.640
It is said she was the wife of Abu Lahab.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.079
"By the morning brightness" (wa al-duha):

00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.939
Meaning, when the light of the day spreads during the forenoon.

00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:24.099
"And the night when it covers with darkness" (wa al-layli idha saja):

00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:26.849
Meaning, when its darkness intensifies.

00:01:26.849 --> 00:01:28.930
"Your Lord has not taken leave of you" (ma wadda'aka rabbuk):

00:01:28.930 --> 00:01:31.730
Meaning, He has not abandoned you since He chose you.

00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:35.489
Nor has He neglected you since He raised and cared for you.

00:01:35.489 --> 00:01:37.090
"Nor has He detested [you]" (wa ma qala):

00:01:37.090 --> 00:01:40.819
Meaning, He has not despised you since He loved you.

00:01:40.819 --> 00:01:44.319
Benefits of the hadith:

00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.439
The hadith encourages the performance of night prayer.

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.599
It confirms the reality of revelation.

00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.079
It demonstrates the love of Allah, the Almighty,

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.859
for His Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:01:57.859 --> 00:02:01.299
Chapter: The Prophet’s, peace be upon him, Encouragement

00:02:01.299 --> 00:02:04.019
To perform night prayer and voluntary prayers,

00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:07.060
without making them obligatory.

00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:09.620
On the authority of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib,

00:02:09.620 --> 00:02:12.740
that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:17.219
visited him and Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:18.419
one night,

00:02:18.419 --> 00:02:19.780
and said:

00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:21.860
"Will you not pray?"

00:02:21.860 --> 00:02:22.979
I said:

00:02:22.979 --> 00:02:24.659
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:02:24.659 --> 00:02:27.060
our souls are in the hand of Allah;

00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.139
if He wills to awaken us,

00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:30.939
He will awaken us."

00:02:30.939 --> 00:02:33.340
He turned away when we said that,

00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:36.300
and did not say anything back to me.

00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:38.539
Then I heard him as he was leaving,

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:41.659
striking his thigh and saying:

00:02:41.659 --> 00:02:47.039
“And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur'an all manner of similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious.” (18:54)

00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.340
Commentary on the hadith:

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:51.460
"Visited him" (taraqahu):

00:02:51.460 --> 00:02:52.819
Derived from *turuq*,

00:02:52.819 --> 00:02:55.650
which means arriving at night.

00:02:55.650 --> 00:02:59.009
"If He wills to awaken us, He will awaken us":

00:02:59.009 --> 00:03:03.120
Meaning, if Allah willed for us to wake up, He would have enabled us.

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.479
"As he was leaving" (wa huwa muwall):

00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.639
Meaning, at the moment of his departure.

00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.479
“And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur'an all manner of similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious.” (18:54)

00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.280
Meaning, arguing and contention.

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.039
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said this

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.039
in astonishment at the quickness of 'Ali's, may Allah be pleased with him, response,

00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.199
and his disagreement with him regarding using this as an excuse.

00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.210
That is why he struck his thigh.

00:03:28.210 --> 00:03:31.780
Benefits of the hadith:

00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:35.939
The hadith shows the permissibility of a father visiting his daughter's house at any time,

00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:38.300
and commanding her to do good.

00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:42.180
It shows that silence may sometimes be the appropriate response.

00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:46.020
It shows the permissibility of striking one's thigh when feeling regret or disappointment.

00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:49.539
It shows the permissibility of quoting the Noble Qur'an,

00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:53.569
provided it is done appropriately.

00:03:53.569 --> 00:03:57.009
On the authority of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

00:03:57.009 --> 00:04:00.289
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:04:00.289 --> 00:04:01.889
would not abandon a deed

00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:04.370
that he loved to perform,

00:04:04.370 --> 00:04:06.849
for fear that the people would perform it,

00:04:06.849 --> 00:04:09.069
and it would then be made obligatory upon them.

00:04:09.069 --> 00:04:12.830
And the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never prayed

00:04:12.830 --> 00:04:14.979
the Duha prayer,

00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:18.430
but I do pray it.

00:04:18.430 --> 00:04:21.889
Commentary on the hadith:

00:04:21.889 --> 00:04:24.769
"Would not abandon" (la yada'): meaning, he would not leave off.

00:04:24.769 --> 00:04:28.800
"Duha prayer" (subhat al-duha): meaning, the prayer of Duha.

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.990
"I do pray it" (la-usalliha): meaning, I perform it.

00:04:32.990 --> 00:04:36.620
Benefits of the hadith:

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:38.779
It is understood from the hadith

00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:41.339
that there is no one among the Companions

00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:45.740
who did not miss some hadiths that others had memorized.

00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:51.009
It encourages the performance of the Duha prayer.

00:04:51.009 --> 00:04:54.930
Chapter: The Prophet’s, peace be upon him, Standing at Night

00:04:54.930 --> 00:04:58.209
Until his feet became swollen.

00:04:58.209 --> 00:05:00.529
On the authority of al-Mughirah, who said:

00:05:00.610 --> 00:05:03.329
The Prophet, peace be upon him, stood [in prayer]

00:05:03.329 --> 00:05:06.209
until his feet became swollen.

00:05:06.209 --> 00:05:07.730
It was said to him:

00:05:07.730 --> 00:05:12.750
“That Allah may forgive thee of thy sin that which is past and that which is to come, and may perfect His favour unto thee, and may guide thee on a right path,” (48:2)

00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:13.949
He said:

00:05:13.949 --> 00:05:17.600
"Should I not be a thankful servant?"

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.879
Commentary on the hadith:

00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.160
"Stood" (qama):

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.199
The intent is that he prayed at night.

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.680
"Until his feet became swollen":

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.620
Meaning, until his feet became inflamed.

00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:35.579
"Should I not be a thankful servant?":

00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:38.139
Gratitude is a cause for forgiveness,

00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:40.139
and *tahajjud* (night prayer) is the expression of that gratitude.

00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:42.259
Therefore, it should not be abandoned.

00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:45.699
Benefits of the hadith:

00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:47.779
It is understood from the hadith

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:52.740
the Prophet’s, peace be upon him, consistency in performing night prayer.

00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:58.879
It explains the virtue and meaning of the stations of gratitude.

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.529
Chapter: One Who Sleeps at the Time of Sahar (Pre-dawn)

00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:06.930
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Amr Ibn al-'As, may Allah be pleased with them both,

00:06:06.930 --> 00:06:11.699
that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to him:

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:16.899
"The most beloved prayer to Allah is the prayer of Dawud, peace be upon him,

00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:20.819
and the most beloved fasting to Allah is the fasting of Dawud.

00:06:20.819 --> 00:06:23.300
He used to sleep for half the night,

00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:25.060
stand for a third,

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:27.220
and sleep for a sixth.

00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:31.360
And he would fast one day and break his fast the next."

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.689
Commentary on the hadith:

00:06:34.689 --> 00:06:37.410
Chapter: One Who Sleeps at the Time of Sahar

00:06:37.410 --> 00:06:40.379
*Sahar* is the time just before dawn.

00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:43.920
Benefits of the hadith:

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.079
It is understood from the hadith

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.829
the importance of being gentle with oneself when there is a fear of becoming weary.

00:06:50.829 --> 00:06:53.550
It shows that the best and most perfect of worshippers

00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:58.750
are the Prophets, peace be upon them.

00:06:58.750 --> 00:07:00.910
On the authority of Masruq, who said:

00:07:00.910 --> 00:07:04.189
I asked 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her:

00:07:04.189 --> 00:07:09.470
"Which deed was most beloved to the Prophet, peace be upon him?"

00:07:09.470 --> 00:07:10.750
She said:

00:07:10.750 --> 00:07:12.500
"The consistent one."

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:14.100
In another narration:

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:18.899
"The most beloved deed to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:22.209
was that which the person maintains consistently."

00:07:22.209 --> 00:07:23.329
I said:

00:07:23.329 --> 00:07:25.490
"When did he used to stand [for prayer]?"

00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:26.769
She said:

00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:30.819
"He used to stand when he heard the crowing."

00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:34.139
Commentary on the hadith:

00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:36.139
"When did he used to stand?":

00:07:36.139 --> 00:07:38.449
Meaning, for the night prayer.

00:07:38.449 --> 00:07:41.410
"He used to stand when he heard the crowing":

00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:43.569
The "crower" is the rooster.

00:07:43.569 --> 00:07:47.250
It only crows around the last third of the night,

00:07:47.250 --> 00:07:49.300
which is the time of *sahar*.

00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:50.339
"Consistent" (yadum):

00:07:50.339 --> 00:07:52.339
Meaning, he maintains it.

00:07:52.339 --> 00:07:55.740
Benefits of the hadith:

00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:57.740
It is understood from the hadith

00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:01.660
the encouragement to be consistent in a deed, even if it is small.

00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:05.019
It provides guidance toward moderation in worship,

00:08:05.019 --> 00:08:10.160
and prohibits going to extremes in it.

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.680
On the authority of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.079
"He would not reach the *sahar* with me except while sleeping,"

00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.240
referring to the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.540
Commentary on the hadith:

00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:26.899
"He would not reach" (ma alfahu):

00:08:26.899 --> 00:08:28.660
Meaning, I would not find him.

00:08:28.660 --> 00:08:29.860
"With me":

00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:34.000
Meaning, during the turn of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.600
Benefits of the hadith:

00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.679
It is understood from the hadith

00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.320
the permissibility of sleeping at the time of *sahar*.

00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.799
It shows that resting at *sahar*

00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.279
is for relief from the fatigue of standing in prayer,

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.600
and to gain strength for the long standing in the morning prayer.

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.840
It shows the legitimacy of a wife checking on the condition of her husband,

00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.480
and that she is the most knowledgeable about his state.

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.009
Chapter: Long Standing in Night Prayer

00:09:05.009 --> 00:09:08.450
On the authority of 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:09:08.529 --> 00:09:12.929
I prayed with the Prophet, peace be upon him, one night,

00:09:12.929 --> 00:09:17.600
and he remained standing until I contemplated a bad idea.

00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.919
We said: "And what did you contemplate?"

00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:21.039
He said:

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:27.070
"I contemplated sitting down and leaving the Prophet, peace be upon him."

00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:30.379
Commentary on the hadith:

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:31.899
"Until I contemplated" (hamma):

00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:34.779
Meaning, until I resolved and intended.

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:36.299
"A bad idea":

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:41.500
This "badness" refers to the lack of proper etiquette and disobeying the Imam.

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:42.620
"Leaving" (adhar):

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:44.539
Meaning, I would abandon.

00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:48.100
Benefits of the hadith:

00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:52.820
The hadith provides guidance on etiquette with senior Imams,

00:09:52.820 --> 00:09:58.500
and that disobeying the Imam is a bad matter.

00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:03.700
Chapter: The Prophet’s, peace be upon him, Standing at Night from His Sleep

00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:07.309
And what was abrogated regarding night prayer.

00:10:07.309 --> 00:10:09.389
On the authority of Humayd, who said:

00:10:09.470 --> 00:10:15.470
I asked Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, about the fasting of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:10:15.470 --> 00:10:16.909
He said:

00:10:16.909 --> 00:10:22.190
"I would not wish to see him fasting in a month but I saw him,

00:10:22.190 --> 00:10:25.549
nor [would I wish to see him] not fasting but I saw him."

00:10:25.549 --> 00:10:27.169
In another narration:

00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:31.970
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would sometimes refrain from fasting during a month,

00:10:31.970 --> 00:10:35.090
to the point that we would think he would not fast at all during it.

00:10:35.169 --> 00:10:40.379
And he would fast until we thought he would not refrain from it at all.

00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:44.139
I never saw him standing in prayer at night,

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:47.379
nor sleeping,

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:50.580
but that I had touched neither velvet nor silk

00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:55.539
softer than the palm of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

00:10:55.539 --> 00:10:59.039
And I have never smelled musk or ambergris

00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:00.399
In another narration:

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:06.159
Nor silk softer than the palm of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:10.399
And I have never smelled a scent or fragrance

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:17.409
more pleasant than the scent of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

00:11:17.409 --> 00:11:20.639
Commentary on the hadith:

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:25.200
Chapter: The Prophet’s (peace be upon him) night prayer after sleeping,

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.080
and what was abrogated regarding the night prayer.

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.279
Meaning, the obligation of the night prayer was abrogated.

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.100
"Nor have I touched," meaning what my hand has touched.

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:38.299
"Velvet" (khazz) is a well-known fabric.

00:11:38.299 --> 00:11:42.320
It is a garment woven from wool and silk.

00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:43.919
"Nor silk,"

00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.080
Silk is well-known.

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.159
"Nor have I smelled musk,"

00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.639
Musk is a well-known perfume.

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.240
"Nor ambergris" (‘abir),

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:57.549
‘Abir is saffron or mixtures of perfumes.

00:11:57.549 --> 00:12:00.990
From the benefits of the hadith:

00:12:01.070 --> 00:12:05.789
The hadith indicates that his prayer and sleep (peace be upon him)

00:12:05.789 --> 00:12:07.870
varied at night.

00:12:07.870 --> 00:12:10.509
He did not set a specific time,

00:12:10.509 --> 00:12:13.899
but rather prayed whenever it was easy for him to do so.

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:16.860
It contains the recommendation of voluntary night prayer,

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:20.460
and the recommendation of voluntary fasting every month.

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:22.860
And that voluntary fasting is unrestricted,

00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:26.899
not limited to any specific time except what has been forbidden.

00:12:26.899 --> 00:12:30.340
The hadith shows that the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:31.860
did not fast the entire year,

00:12:31.860 --> 00:12:34.259
nor did he spend the entire night in prayer.

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:36.100
He refrained from that

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:39.860
so that it would not be taken as a mandatory practice, which would be a burden on the Ummah.

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:44.419
It also shows that among the characteristics of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:12:44.419 --> 00:12:49.120
is that he was pleasant-scented.

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.159
Chapter: The devil tying knots on the back of the head

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.539
if one does not pray at night.

00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:58.340
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:02.779
that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:09.659
"The devil ties three knots on the back of the head of one of you when he sleeps.

00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:11.860
He strikes every knot:

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:15.379
'You have a long night, so sleep.'"

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:17.980
If he wakes up and remembers Allah,

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:20.019
one knot is untied.

00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:21.539
If he performs ablution,

00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:23.580
one knot is untied.

00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:25.059
If he prays,

00:13:25.059 --> 00:13:27.100
one knot is untied,

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:30.340
and he wakes up energetic and in good spirits.

00:13:30.379 --> 00:13:34.889
Otherwise, he wakes up in a foul mood and lazy.

00:13:34.889 --> 00:13:38.090
Commentary on the hadith:

00:13:38.090 --> 00:13:40.049
"The devil ties,"

00:13:40.049 --> 00:13:41.889
The meaning of the knots

00:13:41.889 --> 00:13:44.769
is making sleep heavy and prolonged for him.

00:13:44.769 --> 00:13:50.100
It is as if he has blocked him off and tied knots upon him.

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:51.259
"Back of the head" (qafiyah),

00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:53.190
the nape of the neck.

00:13:53.190 --> 00:13:55.230
"He strikes every knot,"

00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:57.070
meaning he strikes it with his hand.

00:13:57.070 --> 00:13:59.919
It is also said he strikes it by inducing sleep.

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:02.919
"You have a long night, so sleep,"

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.320
meaning he informs him about the length of the night,

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.440
then commands him to sleep,

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.059
meaning slumber.

00:14:09.059 --> 00:14:10.980
"Energetic,"

00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:15.690
meaning due to his joy at the obedience Allah the Almighty has granted him.

00:14:15.690 --> 00:14:17.210
"In good spirits,"

00:14:17.210 --> 00:14:20.120
due to the removal of the devil's knots from him.

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.240
"Foul mood,"

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.720
meaning because he abandoned what he was accustomed to,

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.429
or what he intended of doing good.

00:14:27.429 --> 00:14:28.710
"Lazy,"

00:14:28.710 --> 00:14:32.659
due to the lingering effect of the devil’s discouragement upon him.

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:36.240
From the benefits of the hadith:

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.200
The hadith establishes the devil’s enmity toward man,

00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.840
and his diligence in diverting him from good deeds.

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.120
The hadith shows that remembrance (dhikr) drives away the devil,

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.679
as do ablution and prayer.

00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.240
It is best to remember Allah the Almighty

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.159
with the transmitted supplications for one who wakes up at night.

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.240
Its wording will follow.

00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:03.120
The hadith explains the effect of night prayer, remembrance, and prayer in the life of a Muslim,

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.279
and the blessing of that.

00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.639
Chapter: If one sleeps and does not pray,

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.169
the devil urinates in his ear.

00:15:13.169 --> 00:15:16.759
On the authority of ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:21.039
A man was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him),

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.320
and it was said:

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.720
"He kept sleeping until morning,

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.230
he did not get up for prayer."

00:15:28.230 --> 00:15:29.590
He said:

00:15:29.590 --> 00:15:33.100
"The devil urinated in his ear."

00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:36.480
Commentary on the hadith:

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.840
"The devil urinated in his ear,"

00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:40.480
this is a metaphor.

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.559
It likens the heaviness of his sleep and his negligence of prayer

00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:49.960
to the state of someone who has urine in his ear, which dulls his hearing and corrupts his senses.

00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.679
Even if the intended meaning is the literal act of urination by the devil himself,

00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.440
it is not to be denied,

00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.730
if he possesses this attribute.

00:15:59.730 --> 00:16:03.179
From the benefits of the hadith:

00:16:03.179 --> 00:16:07.620
The hadith shows that laziness regarding prayer comes from the devil.

00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:12.019
It shows the devil’s belittlement and contempt for man,

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:16.340
for it is the habit of one who belittles something to urinate on it,

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:19.100
because in his intense contempt for it,

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:24.870
he treats it like a latrine meant for urination.

00:16:24.870 --> 00:16:29.580
Chapter: Supplication in prayer during the last part of the night.

00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:32.539
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:16:32.580 --> 00:16:36.940
that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:43.299
"Our Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, descends every night to the lowest heaven

00:16:43.299 --> 00:16:46.580
when the last third of the night remains.

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:48.059
He says:

00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:51.179
'Who is calling upon Me, that I may answer him?

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:54.059
Who is asking Me, that I may give him?

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:58.129
Who is seeking My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?'"

00:16:58.129 --> 00:17:01.379
Commentary on the hadith:

00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:04.460
"Our Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, descends,"

00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:08.579
a descent befitting His Majesty, Glory be to Him, the Exalted.

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:13.500
“The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He hath made for you pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby He multiplieth you. Naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer.” (42:11)

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:17.099
From the benefits of the hadith:

00:17:17.099 --> 00:17:21.460
The hadith establishes the attribute of Highness (‘uluw) for Allah the Almighty.

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:27.539
It explains the virtue of seeking forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.

00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:32.380
Chapter: One who sleeps at the beginning of the night and keeps the last part alive.

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:34.460
On the authority of al-Aswad, he said:

00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:37.700
I asked ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her):

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:43.220
"How was the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) night prayer?"

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:44.500
She said:

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:48.299
"He would sleep at the beginning of it and stand for the last part,

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:52.420
then pray, then return to his bed.

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:55.299
When the mu’adhdhin called, he would spring up.

00:17:55.299 --> 00:17:58.220
If he had a need, he would perform ghusl,

00:17:58.220 --> 00:18:01.619
otherwise, he would perform ablution and go out."

00:18:01.619 --> 00:18:04.940
Commentary on the hadith:

00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:08.130
"Spring up," meaning he rose quickly.

00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:10.130
"If he had a need,"

00:18:10.130 --> 00:18:12.220
meaning from sexual intercourse.

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:15.759
From the benefits of the hadith:

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.880
The hadith shows that he (peace be upon him)

00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.750
would sleep while in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) before performing ghusl.

00:18:22.750 --> 00:18:27.900
It shows the importance of worship and approaching it with energy.

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:30.940
It shows that he (peace be upon him)

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:35.859
would fulfill his needs with his wives after keeping the night alive.

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:41.490
Thus, worship takes precedence over other things.

00:18:41.490 --> 00:18:48.700
Chapter: The Prophet’s (peace be upon him) night prayer in Ramadan and other times.

00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:51.660
On the authority of Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman,

00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:55.299
that he asked ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her):

00:18:55.299 --> 00:19:01.619
"How was the Messenger of Allah’s (peace be upon him) prayer in Ramadan?"

00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:03.220
She said:

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:06.579
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

00:19:06.619 --> 00:19:09.700
would not increase in Ramadan or at other times

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:12.579
beyond eleven rak‘ahs.

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:14.660
He would pray four,

00:19:14.660 --> 00:19:18.380
and do not ask about their beauty and length.

00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:20.819
Then he would pray four,

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:24.460
and do not ask about their beauty and length.

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:27.380
Then he would pray three."

00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:29.180
‘A’ishah said:

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:31.500
"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah,

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:34.299
do you sleep before you pray witr?'

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:35.619
He said:

00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:37.299
'O ‘A’ishah,

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:42.529
my eyes sleep, but my heart does not sleep.'"

00:19:42.529 --> 00:19:45.880
Commentary on the hadith:

00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:47.319
"In Ramadan,"

00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.079
meaning during the nights of Ramadan.

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:53.319
"Do not ask about their beauty and length,"

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:58.089
meaning they were at the pinnacle of perfection in beauty and length.

00:19:58.089 --> 00:20:02.009
"My eyes sleep, but my heart does not sleep,"

00:20:02.009 --> 00:20:06.750
this is one of his (peace be upon him) characteristics.

00:20:06.750 --> 00:20:10.220
From the benefits of the hadith:

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:14.059
The hadith shows that the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) practice

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:18.339
was consistent in the month of Ramadan and at other times.

00:20:18.339 --> 00:20:20.779
And that he (peace be upon him)

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:25.480
would, if he performed a deed, establish it and persist in it.

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:30.559
It shows the legitimacy of providing a comprehensive answer when asked about something.

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:35.119
The Tabi‘i asked about the Messenger of Allah’s (peace be upon him) prayer

00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.279
specifically in Ramadan,

00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:39.500
but the answer was general.

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:45.779
The hadith shows that sleep invalidates ritual purity.

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:49.259
Chapter: The virtue of purification at night and during the day,

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:54.579
and the virtue of prayer after ablution at night and during the day.

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:57.460
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:20:57.460 --> 00:21:00.180
that the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:03.579
said to Bilal at the time of the dawn prayer:

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:05.019
"O Bilal,

00:21:05.019 --> 00:21:09.180
tell me about the most hopeful deed you have done in Islam,

00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:14.299
for I heard the sound of your footsteps in front of me in Paradise."

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:15.500
He said:

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:18.420
"I have not done a deed more hopeful to me

00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:23.579
than that I never performed ablution at any hour of the night or day

00:21:23.619 --> 00:21:29.680
but that I prayed with that ablution what was written for me to pray."

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.029
Commentary on the hadith:

00:21:33.029 --> 00:21:35.069
At the time of the dawn prayer.

00:21:35.069 --> 00:21:38.990
An indication that this occurred in a dream.

00:21:38.990 --> 00:21:42.029
"With the most hopeful deed," from the concept of hope.

00:21:42.029 --> 00:21:46.980
Meaning: the best deed for which you hope for a reward from Allah, the Almighty and Exalted.

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:49.099
"I heard your footsteps."

00:21:49.099 --> 00:21:52.299
Meaning: the sound of your footsteps as you were walking.

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:56.650
"I did not perform purification," meaning ablution.

00:21:56.650 --> 00:22:00.150
From the benefits of the hadith.

00:22:00.150 --> 00:22:02.150
It is derived from the hadith:

00:22:02.150 --> 00:22:05.990
That prayer is the best of deeds after faith.

00:22:05.990 --> 00:22:08.750
It contains a clarification of the virtue of ablution.

00:22:08.750 --> 00:22:12.309
And a clarification of the virtue of prayer after ablution.

00:22:12.309 --> 00:22:15.789
And a clarification of the merit of Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:22:15.789 --> 00:22:20.029
The hadith indicates that Paradise is already created and exists.

00:22:20.069 --> 00:22:26.349
The hadith serves as an example of the tacit Sunnah.

00:22:26.349 --> 00:22:31.099
Chapter: What is disliked regarding being overly rigorous in worship.

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:35.180
On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:38.660
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, entered,

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:42.859
And there was a rope stretched between two pillars.

00:22:42.859 --> 00:22:46.380
He asked, "What is this rope?"

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:50.019
They replied, "This is a rope for Zaynab;

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:53.299
when she feels weary, she holds onto it."

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:56.779
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:59.180
"No, untie it.

00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:01.940
One of you should pray while he is energetic;

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:05.460
when he feels weary, he should sit down."

00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:08.700
Commentary on the hadith.

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:12.140
Chapter: What is disliked regarding being overly rigorous in worship.

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:15.009
Out of fear of boredom and lethargy.

00:23:15.009 --> 00:23:16.890
"Between the two pillars."

00:23:16.890 --> 00:23:19.920
Meaning: between two columns in the mosque.

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.799
"For Zaynab," she is the Mother of the Believers,

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.619
Zaynab bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:30.740
"When she feels weary," meaning when she becomes too lazy to stand.

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:34.500
"She holds onto it," meaning she grasps the rope.

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:38.420
"His energy," meaning the duration of his energy.

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:42.019

It is derived from the hadith:

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:49.740
The permissibility of sitting during a voluntary prayer after having started it standing.

00:23:49.779 --> 00:23:52.980
It contains an encouragement toward moderation in worship,

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:56.259
And engaging in it while one is energetic.

00:23:56.259 --> 00:24:01.700
It contains the legitimacy of removing an objectionable matter by hand for one who is capable of it.

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:07.730
It contains the permissibility of women performing voluntary prayers in the mosque.

00:24:07.730 --> 00:24:13.859
Chapter: What is disliked regarding abandoning the night prayer for one who used to perform it.

00:24:13.859 --> 00:24:18.900
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:23.019
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to me,

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:27.140
"O Abdullah, do not be like so-and-so;

00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:32.599
he used to pray at night, then he abandoned the night prayer."

00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:35.920
Commentary on the hadith.

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:40.150

It is derived from the hadith:

00:24:45.589 --> 00:24:49.869
The desirability of being vague in admonition for the sake of concealment.

00:24:49.869 --> 00:24:53.589
It contains the permissibility of mentioning a person by a fault they possess,

00:24:53.589 --> 00:24:57.339
If the intention behind it is to warn against their action.

00:24:57.339 --> 00:25:05.859
It contains the desirability of maintaining the good deeds one is accustomed to without negligence.

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:10.740
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:14.859
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to me,

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:16.619
"O Abdullah,

00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:21.450
have I not been informed that you fast during the day and pray at night?"

00:25:21.490 --> 00:25:23.180
In one narration:

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:26.619
My father married me to a woman of noble lineage.

00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:29.259
He would check on his daughter-in-law,

00:25:29.259 --> 00:25:31.700
and ask her about her husband.

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:33.099
She would say,

00:25:33.099 --> 00:25:35.339
"What an excellent man he is!

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:37.700
He has not shared our bed,

00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:41.910
nor has he approached us since we came to him."

00:25:41.910 --> 00:25:44.430
When this went on for a long time,

00:25:44.430 --> 00:25:48.150
it was mentioned to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:25:48.150 --> 00:25:49.390
He said,

00:25:49.390 --> 00:25:51.069
"Let me meet him."

00:25:51.069 --> 00:25:52.990
I met him afterward,

00:25:52.990 --> 00:25:54.230
and he said,

00:25:54.230 --> 00:25:55.950
"How do you fast?"

00:25:55.950 --> 00:25:56.910
I said,

00:25:56.910 --> 00:25:58.470
"Every day."

00:25:58.470 --> 00:25:59.470
He said,

00:25:59.470 --> 00:26:01.309
"And how do you complete the Qur'an?"

00:26:01.309 --> 00:26:02.309
I said,

00:26:02.309 --> 00:26:04.059
"Every night."

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:05.700
In one narration:

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:10.579
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was told about my fasting,

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:12.299
so he came to me.

00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:17.059
I offered him a leather cushion stuffed with palm fibers.

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:18.900
He sat on the floor,

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:22.490
and the cushion was between me and him.

00:26:22.490 --> 00:26:23.569
I said,

00:26:23.569 --> 00:26:26.059
"Yes, O Messenger of Allah."

00:26:26.059 --> 00:26:27.180
He said,

00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:29.259
"Do not do that."

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:30.779
In one narration:

00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:33.220
"For if you do that,

00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:36.619
your eyes will sink and your soul will become exhausted.

00:26:36.619 --> 00:26:38.980
Indeed, your soul has a right over you,

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:41.640
and your family has a right over you.

00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:43.359
Fast and break your fast,

00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.480
and pray and sleep.

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.480
For your body has a right over you,

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.440
and your eyes have a right over you,

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:54.440
and your wife has a right over you,

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:57.799
and your guest has a right over you.

00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:02.680
It is sufficient for you to fast three days every month,

00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.920
for you will have ten times the reward for every good deed,

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.440
and that is equivalent to fasting the entire year."

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.880
I insisted,

00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.049
I insisted upon myself.

00:27:14.049 --> 00:27:15.650
In one narration:

00:27:15.650 --> 00:27:19.410
I said, "I am capable of more than that."

00:27:19.410 --> 00:27:20.569
He said,

00:27:20.569 --> 00:27:23.730
"Then fast one day and break your fast for two days."

00:27:23.730 --> 00:27:27.359
I said, "I am capable of more than that."

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:28.960
In one narration:

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:30.079
He said,

00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:32.480
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,"

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.440
He said,

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:34.839
"Five."

00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:37.119
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,"

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:38.079
He said,

00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:39.559
"Seven."

00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:41.799
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,"

00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:42.759
He said,

00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:44.200
"Nine."

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:46.519
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,"

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:47.559
He said,

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.500
"Eleven."

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:53.299
Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:58.299
"There is no fast better than the fast of David, peace be upon him, which is half of the year:

00:27:58.299 --> 00:28:02.119
fast one day and break your fast one day."

00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:04.240
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:06.670
I find strength."

00:28:06.670 --> 00:28:07.750
He said,

00:28:07.750 --> 00:28:11.670
"Then fast the fast of the Prophet of Allah, David, peace be upon him,

00:28:11.670 --> 00:28:13.859
and do not exceed it."

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:14.900
I said,

00:28:14.900 --> 00:28:19.420
"And what was the fast of the Prophet of Allah, David, peace be upon him?"

00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:20.460
He said,

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:22.599
"Half of the year."

00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:24.119
In one narration:

00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:27.480
He used to fast one day and break his fast one day,

00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.740
and he would not flee when he met the enemy.

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:32.380
In one narration:

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:35.740
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,

00:28:35.740 --> 00:28:38.619
"He who fasts forever has not fasted,"

00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:40.220
repeating it twice.

00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:41.980
And in one narration, he added:

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:43.259
He said,

00:28:43.259 --> 00:28:46.420
"Read the Qur'an every month."

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:47.539
I said,

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:49.940
"I am capable of more."

00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:52.619
He continued until he said,

00:28:52.619 --> 00:28:54.660
"In three days."

00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:58.339
Abdullah used to say after he grew old,

00:28:58.339 --> 00:29:04.519
"I wish I had accepted the concession of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.819

meaning for your visitor.

00:29:10.660 --> 00:29:11.900

meaning it is enough for you.

00:29:13.660 --> 00:29:15.619
"I find strength,"

00:29:15.619 --> 00:29:18.329
meaning capability and energy.

00:29:18.329 --> 00:29:20.089
"And do not exceed it,"

00:29:20.089 --> 00:29:24.230
meaning do not exceed the fast of David, peace be upon him.

00:29:24.230 --> 00:29:25.829

meaning he became weak.

00:29:27.670 --> 00:29:32.430

00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:40.819
"I am capable of more than that,"

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:42.220
from "capacity,"

00:30:42.220 --> 00:30:45.210
which is ability and power.

00:30:45.210 --> 00:30:48.930
"There is no fast better than the fast of David, peace be upon him,"

00:30:48.930 --> 00:30:53.619
Meaning that there is no fast more excellent than the fast of Dawud, peace be upon him.

00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:55.259
Half of the year.

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:57.450
Meaning half of the lifetime.

00:30:57.450 --> 00:30:59.930
And he does not flee when he encounters [the enemy].

00:30:59.930 --> 00:31:03.000
Meaning he does not flee from the battlefield.

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.569
Among the benefits of the hadith.

00:31:06.569 --> 00:31:08.730
It is derived from the hadith.

00:31:08.769 --> 00:31:13.529
Such as the permissibility of a person speaking about the good deeds he has resolved to perform.

00:31:13.529 --> 00:31:17.730
It also contains guidance for the leader to look after the affairs of those under his care.

00:31:17.730 --> 00:31:20.619
And to teach them what is beneficial for them.

00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:25.339
The hadith also contains the reasoning behind a ruling for those who have the capacity to understand it.

00:31:25.339 --> 00:31:27.900
It also indicates that the priority in acts of worship.

00:31:27.900 --> 00:31:31.380
Is to perform the obligatory duties before the recommended ones.

00:31:31.380 --> 00:31:37.220
It also shows that whoever imposes excessive burdens upon himself beyond his natural capacity.

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:39.740
Will, in most cases, fall into deficiency.

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:42.579
And he may be overcome and become unable to continue.

00:31:42.579 --> 00:31:45.579
It also encourages consistency in worship.

00:31:45.579 --> 00:31:49.819
Without taking on hardships that lead to abandoning it altogether.

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:54.859
It also provides guidance not to neglect the rights of one's family and others.

00:31:54.859 --> 00:32:01.380
It also establishes the legitimacy of balancing the benefits and harms resulting from one's actions.

00:32:01.420 --> 00:32:07.460
The hadith shows that the most perfect of people in worship are the prophets, peace be upon them.

00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:12.900
It also points to the fact that the foundation of acts of worship is based on divine instruction and ease.

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:15.279
Not on personal opinion and severity.

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:21.240
It also illustrates the perfect compassion of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, for his Ummah.
