presents:

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,399
Abridged Sahih al-Bukhari.

6
00:00:16,399 --> 00:00:21,179
Chapter: The Virtue of One Who Learns and Teaches.

7
00:00:21,179 --> 00:00:23,910
On the authority of Abu Musa,

8
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:27,910
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

9
00:00:28,030 --> 00:00:32,560
"The example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,560
is like abundant rain falling upon the earth.

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Part of it was fertile soil that absorbed the water

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,560
and produced abundant vegetation and grass.

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,630
Another part was hard ground that retained the water,

14
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:51,630
so Allah benefited the people with it;

15
00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:54,630
they drank, gave their animals to drink, and cultivated crops.

16
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:58,310
And another portion of the rain fell upon a different land,

17
00:00:58,310 --> 00:01:01,310
which was merely smooth, barren plains;

18
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:05,310
it neither retained water nor grew vegetation.

19
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:09,500
That is the example of one who gains understanding in the religion of Allah,

20
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,500
benefiting from what Allah has sent me with,

21
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,500
so he learns and teaches;

22
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:18,500
and the example of one who does not pay any heed to it

23
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,500
and does not accept the guidance of Allah with which I have been sent."

24
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:27,340
Commentary on the hadith:

25
00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:30,340
"Al-Ghayth" means rain.

26
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:33,530
"Naqiyyah" (fertile) means pure and wholesome.

27
00:01:33,530 --> 00:01:37,530
"Al-Kala'" applies to both fresh and dry vegetation.

28
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:39,530
"Ajadib":

29
00:01:39,530 --> 00:01:43,530
"Ajadib" are the hard grounds that retain water.

30
00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:47,659
"Saqaw" means they drew water to drink.

31
00:01:47,659 --> 00:01:51,760
"Another portion" refers to another tract of land.

32
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:53,409
"Qi'an":

33
00:01:53,409 --> 00:01:56,409
These are the flat, smooth plains

34
00:01:56,409 --> 00:01:59,569
that have no vegetation.

35
00:01:59,569 --> 00:02:01,569
"That is the example...":

36
00:02:01,569 --> 00:02:06,569
Meaning, this parable encompasses the varying ranks of jurists and seekers of understanding,

37
00:02:06,569 --> 00:02:09,569
of which two categories are praised.

38
00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:15,300
Benefits derived from the hadith:

39
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,300
First: The virtue of one who gains deep personal understanding,

40
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:21,300
whose heart is pure from doubts,

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,919
so he comprehends what he carries and teaches it to the people.

42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,080
Second:

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,080
One who preserves knowledge and conveys it to the people

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,080
is in a commendable state,

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560
even if he is not among the scholars of deep fiqh.

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Third:

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,560
The censure of one who hears knowledge but neither memorizes nor comprehends it,

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,560
thus neither benefiting himself nor benefiting others.

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,669
Chapter: The Removal of Knowledge and the Emergence of Ignorance.

50
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:54,439
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

51
00:02:55,060 --> 00:03:01,060
"I shall indeed narrate to you a hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),

52
00:03:02,060 --> 00:03:05,060
which no one else will narrate to you after me.

53
00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:10,150
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying:

54
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:13,150
'Among the signs of the Hour are:

55
00:03:13,150 --> 00:03:15,150
that knowledge will be taken away,

56
00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:17,150
ignorance will become widespread,

57
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:19,150
fornication and adultery will become rampant,

58
00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:21,150
the drinking of wine will be widespread,

59
00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:23,150
men will decrease in number,

60
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:25,770
and women will increase in number,

61
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:30,770
until for fifty women there will be only one guardian.'"

62
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:35,120
Commentary on the hadith:

63
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,120
"Chapter: The Removal of Knowledge and the Emergence of Ignorance":

64
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,530
Meaning, among the signs of the Hour,

65
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:46,530
which are the portents of the Day of Resurrection.

66
00:03:46,530 --> 00:03:48,689
"Knowledge will be taken away":

67
00:03:48,689 --> 00:03:52,689
Meaning, knowledge will be seized and dwindle through the death of scholars.

68
00:03:52,689 --> 00:03:54,819
"Ignorance will become widespread":

69
00:03:54,939 --> 00:03:56,939
Meaning, it will proliferate and prevail.

70
00:03:56,939 --> 00:03:59,000
"Men will decrease in number":

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,039
The scarcity of men will be due to frequent wars and killing.

72
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,039
"Al-Qayyim" (the guardian):

73
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,039
Namely, the one who manages the affairs and welfare of others.

74
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:12,439
Benefits derived from the hadith:

75
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:14,439
First:

76
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:16,439
The five mentioned matters

77
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:19,439
signal the disruption of the five universal necessities:

78
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:21,439
religion, intellect,

79
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:23,439
lineage, life, and wealth.

80
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:27,720
Chapter: The Virtue of Knowledge.

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,480
On the authority of Ibn Umar, who said:

82
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,480
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

83
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,509
saying:

84
00:04:36,509 --> 00:04:38,509
"While I was asleep,

85
00:04:38,509 --> 00:04:40,509
a cup of milk was brought to me,

86
00:04:40,509 --> 00:04:42,509
and I drank from it

87
00:04:42,509 --> 00:04:46,509
until I could see freshness flowing out of my fingernails.

88
00:04:46,509 --> 00:04:50,509
Then I gave my leftover to Umar Ibn al-Khattab."

89
00:04:50,509 --> 00:04:52,730
They asked:

90
00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:55,730
"How did you interpret it, O Messenger of Allah?"

91
00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:56,730
He replied:

92
00:04:56,850 --> 00:04:59,360
"Knowledge."

93
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,939
Commentary on the hadith:

94
00:05:01,939 --> 00:05:03,939
"Bi-qadah" (a cup):

95
00:05:03,939 --> 00:05:05,939
Referring to the well-known vessel,

96
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:08,939
holding an amount sufficient to quench the thirst of two or three men.

97
00:05:08,939 --> 00:05:11,199
"I gave my leftover":

98
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:14,199
Meaning, what remained of the milk in the cup.

99
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,319
"How did you interpret it?":

100
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:18,319
"Al-Ta'wil"

101
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:20,959
signifies the interpretation of dreams.

102
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:23,670
Benefits derived from the hadith:

103
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:25,670
It is deduced from the hadith:

104
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:27,670
Interpreting milk as knowledge,

105
00:05:27,790 --> 00:05:30,790
due to both sharing an abundance of benefit;

106
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:33,790
illustrating the virtue of seeking knowledge;

107
00:05:33,790 --> 00:05:36,790
and highlighting the virtue of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

108
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:40,449
Chapter: Issuing Legal Verdicts (Fatwas)

109
00:05:40,449 --> 00:05:43,449
While Standing upon a Riding Animal or the Like.

110
00:05:43,449 --> 00:05:47,060
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn al-As:

111
00:05:47,060 --> 00:05:51,060
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

112
00:05:51,060 --> 00:05:54,060
stopped at Mina during the Farewell Pilgrimage

113
00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:56,060
for the people to ask him questions.

114
00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:59,060
A man came to him and said:

115
00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:03,209
"Without realizing, I shaved my head before offering the sacrifice."

116
00:06:03,209 --> 00:06:06,209
He replied: "Sacrifice now, and there is no blame."

117
00:06:06,209 --> 00:06:09,279
Another came and said:

118
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,279
"Without realizing, I offered the sacrifice before stoning the pillar."

119
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,279
He said: "Stone now, and there is no blame."

120
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,399
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was not asked

121
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:22,399
about anything performed before or after its usual sequence

122
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:24,399
except that he said:

123
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:26,399
"Do it, and there is no blame."

124
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,079
Commentary on the hadith:

125
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,560
"Al-Futya":

126
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,720
It is the legal ruling or answer given regarding an incident.

127
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,720
"Without realizing" means I did not pay attention.

128
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,750
"I shaved my head", meaning on the Day of Sacrifice.

129
00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:42,750
"And there is no blame":

130
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:44,750
"Al-Haraj" here denotes sin,

131
00:06:44,750 --> 00:06:47,750
meaning there is no sin upon you for what you did.

132
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:51,810
"Before stoning", meaning Jamrat al-Aqabah.

133
00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:53,910
"Performed before or after its usual sequence":

134
00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:56,910
That is, among the rites performed on the Day of Sacrifice.

135
00:06:56,910 --> 00:06:58,939
Except that he said:

136
00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:01,060
"Do it, and there is no blame,"

137
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:04,060
because the pilgrim did not omit the essential rites themselves,

138
00:07:04,060 --> 00:07:09,269
but merely altered their sequence.

139
00:07:09,269 --> 00:07:14,750
Chapter: One Who Answers a Question for a Fatwa by Gesturing with the Hand and Head.

140
00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:18,750
On the authority of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

141
00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:22,750
A man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):

142
00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:25,750
"I performed Tawaf al-Ziyarah before stoning."

143
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:27,810
He replied: "There is no blame."

144
00:07:27,930 --> 00:07:31,959
Another said: "I shaved my head before offering the sacrifice."

145
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:34,959
In one narration, he gestured with his hand

146
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,120
and said: "There is no blame."

147
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,120
Another said: "I offered the sacrifice before stoning."

148
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,120
He said: "There is no blame."

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,279
In another narration: "I stoned the pillar after evening had set in."

150
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:51,279
He replied: "There is no blame."

151
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,959
Commentary on the hadith:

152
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,649
"Zurti" means I performed Tawaf al-Ziyarah,

153
00:07:58,649 --> 00:08:01,649
which is Tawaf al-Ifadah.

154
00:08:01,649 --> 00:08:03,839
"He gestured with his hand":

155
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:06,839
Meaning, he signaled with his hand in an understandable manner.

156
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:10,129
"I offered the sacrifice before stoning":

157
00:08:10,129 --> 00:08:12,129
That is, slaughtering on the Day of Sacrifice

158
00:08:12,129 --> 00:08:15,709
prior to stoning Jamrat al-Aqabah.

159
00:08:15,709 --> 00:08:19,540
Benefits derived from the hadith:

160
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:22,540
It is derived from the preceding two hadiths:

161
00:08:22,540 --> 00:08:24,540
The permissibility of asking a scholar,

162
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:27,660
even if he is occupied with another matter;

163
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:30,660
referring unprecedented issues back to the scholars;

164
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:33,659
and that the prescribed duties on the Day of Sacrifice

165
00:08:33,659 --> 00:08:34,659
are four:

166
00:08:34,659 --> 00:08:36,659
stoning Jamrat al-Aqabah,

167
00:08:36,659 --> 00:08:37,659
then offering the sacrifice,

168
00:08:37,659 --> 00:08:39,659
then shaving or trimming the hair,

169
00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:41,659
then performing Tawaf al-Ifadah;

170
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:43,659
but if one alters this sequence,

171
00:08:43,659 --> 00:08:48,710
it remains valid and nothing is incumbent upon him.

172
00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:50,710
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah,

173
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:53,710
that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

174
00:08:53,710 --> 00:08:54,710
said:

175
00:08:54,830 --> 00:08:59,830
"The Hour will not be established until two great groups fight one another,

176
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:03,830
resulting in a massive slaughter between them,

177
00:09:03,830 --> 00:09:05,830
while their religious claim is one and the same;

178
00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:09,889
and until impostors and liars are sent forth,

179
00:09:09,889 --> 00:09:11,889
nearly thirty in number,

180
00:09:11,889 --> 00:09:15,919
each of them claiming to be a messenger of Allah;

181
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:17,919
and until knowledge is taken away;

182
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:19,919
— in a narration:

183
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:21,919
and ignorance becomes widespread —

184
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:23,919
and earthquakes increase;

185
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:26,039
time passes rapidly;

186
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:28,110
— in a narration:

187
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:30,110
good deeds decrease;

188
00:09:30,110 --> 00:09:32,110
greed is cast into people's hearts;

189
00:09:32,110 --> 00:09:34,110
tribulations appear;

190
00:09:34,110 --> 00:09:36,110
and Haraj increases,

191
00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:38,110
which is killing;

192
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:40,110
and until wealth abounds among you

193
00:09:40,110 --> 00:09:42,110
and overflows,

194
00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:46,110
to the extent that the wealthy person will worry about who will accept his charity;

195
00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:48,110
and he will offer it,

196
00:09:48,110 --> 00:09:51,110
but the one to whom it is offered will say:

197
00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:53,110
'I have no need for it';

198
00:09:53,230 --> 00:09:57,230
and until people compete in constructing lofty buildings;

199
00:09:57,230 --> 00:10:00,230
and until a man passes by another man's grave

200
00:10:00,230 --> 00:10:02,230
and says,

201
00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:04,320
"Would that I were in his place!"

202
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,320
and until the sun rises

203
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,320
from the west.

204
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,320
When it rises and the people see it,

205
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,320
they will all believe;

206
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,320
but that is when no soul will benefit [from its faith].

207
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,320
“Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)

208
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,480
“Wait they, indeed, for nothing less than that the angels should come unto them, or thy Lord should come, or there should come one of the portents from thy Lord? In the day when one of the portents from thy Lord cometh, its belief availeth naught a soul which theretofore believed not, nor in its belief earned good (by works). Say: Wait ye! Lo! We (too) are waiting.” (6:158)

209
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,480
The Hour will surely come

210
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,480
while two men have spread out a garment between them,

211
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,509
yet they will neither conclude the sale nor fold it up.

212
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:36,509
The Hour will surely come

213
00:10:36,509 --> 00:10:38,509
when a man has turned away

214
00:10:38,509 --> 00:10:40,509
with the milk of his milch camel,

215
00:10:40,509 --> 00:10:42,600
yet he will not drink it.

216
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,600
The Hour will surely come

217
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600
while a man is plastering his water basin,

218
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,759
yet he will not water [his livestock] from it.

219
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:50,879
And the Hour will surely come

220
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:53,879
while a man has raised a morsel to his mouth,

221
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:55,879
yet he will not taste it.

222
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:59,720
Commentary on the Hadith:

223
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,230
"Two parties":

224
00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:04,259
meaning two groups

225
00:11:04,259 --> 00:11:06,259
between whom there will be a tremendous slaughter;

226
00:11:06,259 --> 00:11:10,259
that is, they will fight one another in a great battle.

227
00:11:10,259 --> 00:11:12,259
"Their claim is one":

228
00:11:12,259 --> 00:11:14,259
meaning both profess Islam,

229
00:11:14,259 --> 00:11:17,259
and each of them interprets

230
00:11:17,259 --> 00:11:19,389
that they are on the side of truth.

231
00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:20,509
"Impostors (Dajjals)":

232
00:11:20,509 --> 00:11:22,509
meaning great liars

233
00:11:22,509 --> 00:11:25,639
who mix truth with falsehood.

234
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:27,639
"Knowledge will be taken away":

235
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:28,639
what is meant is

236
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:31,759
that knowledge will be lifted through the death of the scholars.

237
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:33,759
"Time will pass quickly":

238
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:35,759
meaning the approach of the Day of Resurrection,

239
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:37,759
and other interpretations have also been given.

240
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,759
"Turmoils will appear":

241
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:42,759
meaning tribulations will multiply and spread widely.

242
00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:45,759
"Wealth will become abundant among you and overflow":

243
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:49,879
meaning it will increase so much that it flows like a valley.

244
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:50,879
"Worries":

245
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:53,980
meaning it grieves him and causes him concern.

246
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:55,980
"I have no need of it":

247
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:57,980
meaning I do not require it.

248
00:11:57,980 --> 00:12:01,169
"Until people compete in constructing tall buildings":

249
00:12:01,169 --> 00:12:03,169
what is meant is

250
00:12:03,169 --> 00:12:05,169
that those who were once in need and destitution

251
00:12:05,169 --> 00:12:07,169
will have worldly riches expanded for them,

252
00:12:07,169 --> 00:12:10,169
until they boastfully compete in high-rise construction.

253
00:12:10,169 --> 00:12:13,299
"Two men spread out a garment between them,

254
00:12:13,299 --> 00:12:15,299
yet they will neither conclude the sale

255
00:12:15,419 --> 00:12:17,419
nor fold it up":

256
00:12:17,419 --> 00:12:20,419
this is a report from him (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

257
00:12:20,419 --> 00:12:22,419
regarding how suddenly the Hour will overtake people,

258
00:12:22,419 --> 00:12:25,419
such that no one will even complete what he has started,

259
00:12:25,419 --> 00:12:26,419
including unfolding a garment

260
00:12:26,419 --> 00:12:28,549
without being able to fold it back.

261
00:12:28,549 --> 00:12:29,549
"His milch camel (*laqḥah*)":

262
00:12:29,549 --> 00:12:30,549
*al-laqḥah*

263
00:12:30,549 --> 00:12:34,549
is a female camel that has recently given birth,

264
00:12:34,549 --> 00:12:35,549
and what is meant here

265
00:12:35,549 --> 00:12:37,549
is a productive milch camel.

266
00:12:37,549 --> 00:12:39,549
"Plastering his basin":

267
00:12:39,549 --> 00:12:42,679
meaning coating it with clay and repairing it.

268
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:43,679
"His morsel (*uklah*)":

269
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:46,690
meaning his bite of food.

270
00:12:46,690 --> 00:12:48,690
Key Lessons from the Hadith:

271
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:52,840
This hadith is among the signs of Prophethood.

272
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,840
Everything mentioned in it concerning the portents of the Hour

273
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,840
is absolute truth

274
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,840
and will certainly come to pass.

275
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,840
It is also derived from the hadith

276
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,840
that the Hour will overtake people all of a sudden;

277
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,840
it will come upon them while they are engaged in their daily affairs,

278
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,840
giving them no respite to complete them.

279
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,840
Furthermore, when a person becomes certain of the arrival of the Resurrection

280
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,840
through the rising of the sun from the west

281
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:15,840
and then professes belief,

282
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,840
his faith will not be a belief in the unseen,

283
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,879
and therefore it will not be accepted from him.

284
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:23,879
The hadith also points to three stages

285
00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:25,879
regarding wealth:

286
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:27,879
The first

287
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:29,879
is mere abundance of wealth,

288
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:32,879
and that occurred during the era of the Companions.

289
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:33,879
The second

290
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:35,879
is the indication of its great abundance

291
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:37,879
along with everyone becoming self-sufficient

292
00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:39,879
without needing to take anyone else's money,

293
00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:43,879
and that was toward the end of the era of the Companions.

294
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:45,879
And the third stage

295
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:49,879
points to its overflowing and the realization of total sufficiency,

296
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:53,879
such that a wealthy person will find no one to accept his charity,

297
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:57,879
and this will take place in the time of 'Isa (peace be upon him).

298
00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:04,379
On the authority of Asma' bint Abi Bakr as-Siddiq, who said:

299
00:14:04,379 --> 00:14:07,379
I entered upon 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her)

300
00:14:07,379 --> 00:14:09,379
while the people were praying.

301
00:14:09,379 --> 00:14:10,379
I said,

302
00:14:10,379 --> 00:14:12,379
"What is the matter with the people?"

303
00:14:13,379 --> 00:14:16,480
So she gestured with her head toward the sky.

304
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,480
In another narration:

305
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,480
She was standing in prayer,

306
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,480
so I said,

307
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,480
"What is wrong with the people?"

308
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,480
She gestured with her hand toward the sky

309
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,480
and said,

310
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,509
"Glory be to Allah (*SubhanAllah*)!"

311
00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:30,509
I said,

312
00:14:30,509 --> 00:14:31,509
"Is it a sign?"

313
00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:33,509
She nodded her head,

314
00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:35,509
meaning: Yes.

315
00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:36,509
She said:

316
00:14:36,509 --> 00:14:41,509
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prolonged the prayer exceedingly,

317
00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:43,509
until dizziness overcame me.

318
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:47,509
Beside me was a waterskin containing water,

319
00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:49,509
so I opened it

320
00:14:49,509 --> 00:14:52,509
and began pouring water over my head.

321
00:14:52,509 --> 00:14:56,570
The Messenger of Allah finished the prayer

322
00:14:56,570 --> 00:14:58,570
just as the sun reappeared.

323
00:14:58,570 --> 00:15:00,570
He then delivered a sermon to the people,

324
00:15:00,570 --> 00:15:03,570
praised Allah as He deserves to be praised,

325
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:05,570
and said,

326
00:15:05,570 --> 00:15:07,669
"To proceed:"

327
00:15:07,669 --> 00:15:08,669
She said:

328
00:15:08,669 --> 00:15:11,669
Some women from the Ansar began chattering,

329
00:15:11,669 --> 00:15:15,669
so I turned toward them to quiet them down,

330
00:15:15,669 --> 00:15:17,669
and then asked 'A'ishah,

331
00:15:17,669 --> 00:15:19,669
"What did he say?"

332
00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:20,669
She replied:

333
00:15:20,669 --> 00:15:21,669
He said,

334
00:15:21,669 --> 00:15:24,669
"There is nothing I had not yet been shown

335
00:15:24,669 --> 00:15:28,669
except that I have seen it in this place of mine,

336
00:15:28,669 --> 00:15:31,700
even Paradise and the Fire.

337
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:33,700
And it has been revealed to me

338
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:36,700
that you will be tested in your graves

339
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:41,860
with a trial similar to, or nearly like, the trial of the False Messiah (al-Masih ad-Dajjal).

340
00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:44,860
One of you will be brought and asked,

341
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:47,860
'What do you know about this man?'

342
00:15:47,860 --> 00:15:48,860
As for the believer

343
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:50,860
— or he said:

344
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:51,860
the person of firm conviction —

345
00:15:51,860 --> 00:15:53,860
he will say,

346
00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:55,860
'He is the Messenger of Allah;

347
00:15:55,860 --> 00:15:58,860
he is Muhammad (peace be upon him).

348
00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:01,860
He brought us clear proofs and guidance,

349
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:04,860
so we believed, responded,

350
00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:07,860
followed, and affirmed the truth.'

351
00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:08,860
It will then be said to him,

352
00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:10,860
'Sleep soundly and righteously;

353
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:14,889
we already knew that you were a believer in him.'

354
00:16:14,889 --> 00:16:17,210
But as for the hypocrite

355
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:18,210
— or he said:

356
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:20,210
the doubter —

357
00:16:20,210 --> 00:16:22,210
it will be said to him,

358
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:24,210
'What do you know about this man?'

359
00:16:24,210 --> 00:16:26,210
And he will say,

360
00:16:26,210 --> 00:16:27,210
'I do not know;

361
00:16:27,210 --> 00:16:32,759
I heard the people saying something, so I said it too.'"

362
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:34,759
Commentary on the Hadith:

363
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,200
"What is the matter with the people?":

364
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,200
meaning why are they standing in such fearful alarm?

365
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,299
"A sign?":

366
00:16:41,299 --> 00:16:43,299
meaning a portent,

367
00:16:43,299 --> 00:16:45,299
which was the solar eclipse.

368
00:16:45,299 --> 00:16:48,299
"Until dizziness overcame me":

369
00:16:48,299 --> 00:16:51,299
meaning a state of fainting began to come over me

370
00:16:51,299 --> 00:16:54,299
due to the long standing and the intense heat.

371
00:16:54,299 --> 00:16:56,559
"The sun reappeared":

372
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:58,559
meaning the eclipse cleared.

373
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:00,559
"Chattering (*laghat*)":

374
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:01,559
*al-laghat*

375
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:04,559
refers to confused, indistinct voices that cannot be understood.

376
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:06,650
"I turned toward them":

377
00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:09,650
meaning I turned my face and directed my attention to them.

378
00:17:09,650 --> 00:17:11,750
"You will be tested":

379
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:13,750
meaning you will be put to trial and examined.

380
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:16,839
"The trial of the False Messiah":

381
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,839
the Dajjal is the messiah of misguidance.

382
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,039
"One of you will be brought":

383
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:24,039
meaning in the grave.

384
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:25,039
"And it will be said to him:

385
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:27,039
'What do you know about this man?'":

386
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:30,039
The two angels will say this phrasing

387
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:32,039
rather than saying "the Messenger of Allah"

388
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:34,039
[or mentioning his title],

389
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:36,039
as an examination and to present an unfamiliar test,

390
00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:39,160
so that the person is not prompted with the answer by them.

391
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,160
"He brought us clear proofs":

392
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,160
meaning the miracles establishing his prophethood.

393
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,160
"And guidance":

394
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,160
meaning the direction leading to the desired objective

395
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,359
and guidance to the clear path of truth.

396
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,359
"And we responded":

397
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,359
meaning we recognized and complied;

398
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,359
thus, responding pertains to knowledge,

399
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,359
and following him in practical action.

400
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,359
"Sleep soundly and righteously,"

401
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,359
meaning: you have nothing to fear

402
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,359
regarding the terrors threatening the disbelievers,

403
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,359
such as being exposed to the Fire

404
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,450
or other torments of the grave.

405
00:18:12,450 --> 00:18:13,450
"The doubter,"

406
00:18:13,450 --> 00:18:16,440
that is, the one who was skeptical.

407
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,440
Benefits derived from the hadith:

408
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,440
From this hadith it is deduced

409
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,440
that speaking during prayer is prohibited,

410
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,440
whereas gesturing and slight movement during it are permissible;

411
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,440
that light faintness or momentary dizziness

412
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,440
does not invalidate ritual purity;

413
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,440
and that a worshiper's reflection

414
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,440
and looking ahead toward his qiblah

415
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,440
while in prayer is permissible.

416
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,440
The hadith also contains evidence for prolonging the standing

417
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,440
in the solar eclipse prayer,

418
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,440
and that Paradise and the Fire

419
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,440
are already created at present,

420
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,440
which is the doctrine of Ahl al-Sunnah.

421
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,470
The hadith further provides evidence

422
00:18:51,470 --> 00:18:53,470
affirming the torment of the grave,

423
00:18:53,470 --> 00:18:57,500
as well as the questioning by the two angels in the grave.

424
00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:59,500
It is also deduced from the hadith

425
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:04,500
that whoever harbors doubt regarding believing the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

426
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,500
or doubts the authenticity of his message,

427
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:09,500
his faith is not valid.

428
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:12,500
The hadith also contains a censure of blind imitation (taqlid),

429
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:17,500
indicating that the blind follower does not truly deserve the designation of complete knowledge.

430
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:24,680
Chapter: Traveling to Resolve a Newly Arisen Issue and Teaching One's Family.

431
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,059
On the authority of 'Uqbah ibn al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him):

432
00:19:28,059 --> 00:19:32,059
He married a daughter of Abu Ihab ibn 'Aziz,

433
00:19:32,059 --> 00:19:35,059
whereupon a woman came and said,

434
00:19:35,059 --> 00:19:39,059
"I have breastfed both 'Uqbah and the woman he married."

435
00:19:39,059 --> 00:19:41,089
'Uqbah said to her,

436
00:19:41,089 --> 00:19:44,089
"I did not know that you breastfed me,

437
00:19:44,089 --> 00:19:46,089
nor did you ever inform me."

438
00:19:46,089 --> 00:19:50,089
So he sent a message to the family of Abu Ihab to ask them,

439
00:19:50,089 --> 00:19:52,089
and they replied,

440
00:19:52,089 --> 00:19:55,089
"We do not know that she breastfed our companion."

441
00:19:56,220 --> 00:20:00,220
He then rode out to the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Medina

442
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:02,220
and asked him,

443
00:20:02,220 --> 00:20:06,220
to which the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

444
00:20:06,220 --> 00:20:08,220
"How can you remain with her when it has been said?"

445
00:20:08,220 --> 00:20:10,220
So he separated from her,

446
00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:14,049
and she subsequently married another husband.

447
00:20:14,049 --> 00:20:17,759
Commentary on the hadith:

448
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:20,759
"Chapter: Traveling to Resolve a Newly Arisen Issue."

449
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:24,920
"Traveling" (al-rihlah) means undertaking a journey out of necessity,

450
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,920
and "a newly arisen issue" (al-nazilah) refers to an incident that has occurred

451
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,980
and requires a clarification of its legal ruling in Islamic law.

452
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:35,980
"He married a daughter of Abu Ihab"—

453
00:20:35,980 --> 00:20:38,460
her name was Ghaniyyah.

454
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:42,160
Benefits derived from the hadith:

455
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,160
It is derived from the hadith

456
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,160
that whoever accepts the testimony of a single wet nurse

457
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,160
adheres to the literal wording of the hadith,

458
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,160
while whoever rejects it construes the Prophet's instruction as scrupulous piety rather than strict prohibition.

459
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,160
It is also derived from the hadith

460
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,160
that one is guided to travel in pursuit of sacred knowledge,

461
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,160
along with an illustration of the Companions' eagerness for knowledge,

462
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,160
their preference for whatever brings them closer to Allah Almighty,

463
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,160
and their desire to increase in obedience to Him,

464
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:14,160
for they sought to be nurtured in knowledge solely to act upon it;

465
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,160
thus Allah Almighty bore witness to them

466
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,160
that they are the best nation produced for mankind.

467
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,160
It is also deduced

468
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,160
that a person is duty-bound

469
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,160
to avoid positions of suspicion,

470
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,160
even if his record is entirely unblemished and he is innocent of blame,

471
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,200
and that one must exercise utmost precaution in matters of marriage

472
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,200
and refer to the scholars regarding newly arisen issues,

473
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,200
even if their homelands are far away.
