good that you are advancing it toward, 10 00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:32,880 and if it is otherwise, 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,880 it is an evil that you are removing from your necks." 12 00:00:35,880

voice except for humans; 32 00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,950 and if a human were to hear it, he would faint." 33 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:46,959 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,959

be pleased with him, 49 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:40,479 that Talhah ibn al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, fell ill, 50 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:44,479 and the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came to visit him. 51 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:46,479 He said: 52 00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,479 "I do not see Talhah but that death has overtaken him; 53 00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:54,479 so inform me of him and hasten with him, 54 00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:57,479 for it is not fitting for the corpse of a Muslim 55 00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:00,479 to be detained among their family." 56 00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:02,509 Narrated by Abu Dawud. 57 00:03:02,509 --> 00:03:09,969 Chapter: Exhortation at the Grave 58 00:03:09,969 --> 00:03:12,969 From 'Ali, may Allah be pleased

came to us. 61 00:03:20,969 --> 00:03:23,969 He sat, and we sat around him, 62 00:03:23,969 --> 00:03:25,969 and he had a staff with him. 63 00:03:25,969 --> 00:03:29,969 He lowered his head and began to scratch the ground with his staff, 64 00:03:29,969 --> 00:03:31,969 then he said: 65 00:03:31,969 --> 00:03:37,030 "There is not one among you but that his seat in the Fire has been written, 66

effective at that time. 86 00:04:26,819 --> 00:04:29,819 This is because seeing the deceased and remembering death 87 00:04:29,819 --> 00:04:32,819 softens the heart and removes its hardness. 88 00:04:32,819 --> 00:04:36,329 The permissibility of sitting in the graveyard around a scholar 89 00:04:36,329 --> 00:04:38,329 so that he may exhort them, 90 00:04:38,329 --> 00:04:40,329 provided

knowledge of Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He. 96 00:04:55,709 --> 00:04:58,060 Allah, Mighty and Majestic is He, 97 00:04:58,060 --> 00:05:01,060 facilitates for those who were previously known in

00:10:30,870 for whom it may be a cause of showing off or arrogance, 196 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:33,870 and other spiritual ailments. 197 00:10:33,870 --> 00:10:37,289 Those whose testimony is considered in such matters 198 00:10:37,289 --> 00:10:39,289 are the people of virtue and truthfulness, 199 00:10:39,289 --> 00:10:43,289 not others among the corrupt and the hypocrites, 200 00:10:43,289 --> 00:10:47,289 because they praise those who are like themselves. 201 00:10:47,289 --> 00:10:50,700 An explanation of the virtue of this Ummah. 202 00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:53,700

00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:03,980 I sat with ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. 206 00:11:03,980 --> 00:11:05,980 A funeral procession passed by them. 207 00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:08,980 The people praised the deceased for his goodness. 208 00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:11,980 ‘Umar said, "It is guaranteed." 209 00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:13,980 Then another passed by. 210 00:11:13,980 --> 00:11:16,980 The people praised the deceased for his goodness. 211 00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:19,980 ‘Umar said, "It is guaranteed." 212 00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,980 Abu al-Aswad said: 213 00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:25,980 I asked, "What is guaranteed, O Commander of the Faithful?" 214 00:11:25,980 --> 00:11:26,980 He replied: 215 00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:31,980 "I said exactly what the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 216 00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:35,980 'Any Muslim for whom four people testify to his goodness, 217 00:11:35,980 --> 00:11:37,980 Allah will admit him into Paradise.' 218 00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:40,980 We asked, 'And three?' 219 00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:41,980 He said: 220 00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:43,980 'And three.' 221 00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:46,019 'And three.' 222 00:11:47,019 --> 00:11:50,019 We asked, 'And two?' 223 00:11:50,019 --> 00:11:51,019 He said: 224 00:11:51,019 --> 00:11:53,019 'And two.' 225 00:11:53,019 --> 00:11:56,019 Then we did not ask him about one." 226 00:11:56,019 --> 00:11:59,019 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 227 00:11:59,019 --> 00:12:01,019 From the benefits of the hadith: 228 00:12:01,019 --> 00:12:08,820 The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, followed the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 229 00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:13,070 Believers do not differ in their evaluation of men. 230 00:12:13,070 --> 00:12:16,070 This is because they proceed from a fixed foundation. 231 00:12:16,070 --> 00:12:20,070 Which is evaluating the deeds of men according to the Book and the Sunnah. 232 00:12:20,070 --> 00:12:22,070 Not the other way around. 233 00:12:22,070 --> 00:12:29,080 Chapter: The virtue of one whose young children die. 234 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,299 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 235 00:12:33,299 --> 00:12:37,299 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 236 00:12:37,299 --> 00:12:42,299 "There is no Muslim whose three children die before reaching the age of puberty, 237 00:12:42,299 --> 00:12:48,299 but Allah will admit him into Paradise by the grace of His mercy toward them." 238 00:12:48,299 --> 00:12:50,299 Agreed upon. 239 00:12:50,299 --> 00:12:52,299 "Before reaching the age of puberty" 240 00:12:52,299 --> 00:12:54,870 Meaning, they have not reached the age of maturity, 241 00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:57,870 so that sins would be recorded against them. 242 00:12:57,870 --> 00:13:00,870 From the benefits of the hadith: 243 00:13:00,870 --> 00:13:04,669 Whoever is patient upon the loss of his children and seeks reward from Allah, 244 00:13:04,669 --> 00:13:07,669 Allah will admit him into Paradise. 245 00:13:07,669 --> 00:13:11,789 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 246 00:13:11,789 --> 00:13:14,789 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 247 00:13:14,789 --> 00:13:18,789 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 248 00:13:18,789 --> 00:13:23,789 "No Muslim shall lose three of his children, 249 00:13:23,789 --> 00:13:25,789 and the Fire shall touch him, 250 00:13:25,789 --> 00:13:28,789 except for the fulfillment of the oath." 251 00:13:28,789 --> 00:13:30,919 Agreed upon. 252 00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:32,919 "The fulfillment of the oath" refers to: 253 00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:34,919 The saying of Allah the Exalted: 254 00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:37,919 “There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord.” (19:71) 255 00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:40,919 The "coming" is the crossing over the Sirat. 256 00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:44,919 It is a bridge set up over the back of Hellfire, 257 00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:47,919 may Allah protect us from it. 258 00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:52,340 On the authority of Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 259 00:13:52,340 --> 00:13:56,340 A woman came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 260 00:13:56,340 --> 00:13:58,340 and said: 261 00:13:58,340 --> 00:14:00,340 "O Messenger of Allah, 262 00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,340 the men have taken all your hadiths, 263 00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:06,340 so set aside a day for us from your time when we may come to you, 264 00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:09,340 so you may teach us from what Allah has taught you." 265 00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:10,399 He said: 266 00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:13,399 "Gather on such-and-such a day." 267 00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:15,399 They gathered, 268 00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:19,399 and the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came to them, 269 00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:22,399 and taught them from what Allah had taught him. 270 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,399 Then he said: 271 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:29,399 "There is no woman among you who loses three of her children, 272 00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:32,399 but they will be a shield for her against the Fire." 273 00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:34,429 A woman asked: 274 00:14:34,429 --> 00:14:36,429 "And two?" 275 00:14:36,429 --> 00:14:39,429 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, replied: 276 00:14:39,429 --> 00:14:41,429 "And two." 277 00:14:41,429 --> 00:14:43,529 Agreed upon. 278 00:14:43,529 --> 00:14:47,230 From the benefits of the hadith: 279 00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:52,490 The permissibility for women to ask a scholar to teach them the Shari‘ah. 280 00:14:52,490 --> 00:14:56,899 The permissibility of designating a specific day for teaching women. 281 00:14:56,899 --> 00:15:04,259 A scholar should alert the student to matters they are in greater need of than others. 282 00:15:04,259 --> 00:15:10,259 For here is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, after teaching the women, 283 00:15:10,259 --> 00:15:13,259 he urged them to be patient upon the loss of their children, 284 00:15:13,259 --> 00:15:19,259 because they are more prone to wailing and showing grief than men. 285 00:15:19,259 --> 00:15:28,230 Chapter: Weeping and fear when passing by the graves of the wrongdoers and the sites of their destruction, 286 00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:32,230 and demonstrating one's need for Allah the Exalted, 287 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:35,230 and a warning against being heedless of that. 288 00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:39,769 On the authority of Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, 289 00:15:39,769 --> 00:15:44,769 that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to his Companions, 290 00:15:44,769 --> 00:15:48,769 meaning when they reached al-Hijr, the dwellings of Thamud: 291 00:15:48,769 --> 00:15:52,769 "Do not enter upon these people who were punished, 292 00:15:52,769 --> 00:15:55,769 unless you are weeping. 293 00:15:55,769 --> 00:16:00,769 If you are not weeping, then do not enter upon them, 294 00:16:00,769 --> 00:16:03,769 lest what befell them befall you." 295 00:16:03,769 --> 00:16:05,769 Agreed upon. 296 00:16:05,769 --> 00:16:07,860 In another narration, he said: 297 00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:13,860 When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed by al-Hijr, he said: 298 00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:17,860 "Do not enter the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, 299 00:16:17,860 --> 00:16:20,860 lest what befell them befall you, 300 00:16:20,860 --> 00:16:23,860 unless you are weeping." 301 00:16:23,860 --> 00:16:28,860 Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, covered his head, 302 00:16:28,860 --> 00:16:32,860 and quickened his pace until he had crossed the valley. 303 00:16:34,379 --> 00:16:39,379 Al-Hijr is the land of Thamud, located between Medina and the Levant. 304 00:16:39,379 --> 00:16:42,600 This occurred during the expedition of Tabuk. 305 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,600 "Lest what befell them befall you" means: for fear that what befell them might befall you. 306 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,600 "Covered his head" 307 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,700 means he pulled his garment over it. 308 00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:53,700 "Crossed the valley" 309 00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:56,700 means he traversed it and left it behind him. 310 00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:00,620 From the benefits of the hadith: 311 00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:03,620 Weeping prompts reflection and taking heed. 312 00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:08,619 It is as if he commanded them to reflect on circumstances that necessitate weeping, 313 00:17:08,619 --> 00:17:12,619 such as Allah’s decree upon those people of disbelief, 314 00:17:12,619 --> 00:17:14,619 despite Him granting them power on earth, 315 00:17:14,619 --> 00:17:17,619 and granting them respite for a long time, 316 00:17:17,619 --> 00:17:21,619 then inflicting His vengeance upon them and the severity of His punishment. 317 00:17:21,619 --> 00:17:24,619 He, glory be to Him, is the Turner of hearts. 318 00:17:24,619 --> 00:17:29,619 So a believer should not feel secure that his own end might not be similar to that. 319 00:17:29,619 --> 00:17:32,880 Whoever does not take heed from such things, 320 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,880 it indicates the hardness of his heart and his lack of humility. 321 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,880 Thus, he is not safe from being led into acting as they acted, 322 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,259 and then what befell them befalls him. 323 00:17:45,259 --> 00:17:48,259 A prohibition against residing in the dwellings of those who were punished, 324 00:17:48,259 --> 00:17:51,259 and the necessity of quickening one's pace when passing by them. 325 00:17:51,259 --> 00:17:55,970 Riyadh al-Salihin.
