00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:44,580 a censure of those who issue fatwas without knowledge, 204 00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:46,580 and an indication that whoever issues rulings without knowledge 205 00:09:46,580 --> 00:09:49,580 and misguides others is misguided himself, 206 00:09:49,580 --> 00:09:55,500 whether he acts upon what he decreed or does not. 207 00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:56,500 Chapter: 208 00:09:56,500 --> 00:10:02,500 Should a separate day be designated for women to learn? 209 00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:04,500 On the authority of Abu Sa'id, who said: 210 00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:09,500 A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 211 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:10,500 and said: 212 00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:12,500 "O Messenger of Allah, 213 00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,529 the men have monopolized your hadith, 214 00:10:15,529 --> 00:10:19,529 so appoint for us a day of your own when we may come to you, 215 00:10:19,529 --> 00:10:22,529 that you may teach us from what Allah has taught you." 216 00:10:22,529 --> 00:10:24,559 He said: 217 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,559 "Gather on such-and-such a day, 218 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,559 at such-and-such a place." 219 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,559 So they gathered, 220 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,559 and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came to them 221 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,620 and taught them from what Allah had taught him. 222 00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:42,620 Then he said: 223 00:10:42,620 --> 00:10:47,620 "There is no woman among you who sends forth three of her children before her, 224 00:10:47,620 --> 00:10:52,850 but that they will be a shield for her against the Fire." 225 00:10:52,850 --> 00:10:54,850 A woman among them said: 226 00:10:54,850 --> 00:10:56,850 "O Messenger of Allah, 227 00:10:56,850 --> 00:10:58,850 and two?" 228 00:10:58,850 --> 00:10:59,850 He said— 229 00:10:59,850 --> 00:11:01,850 and she repeated it twice— 230 00:11:01,850 --> 00:11:03,850 then he said: 231 00:11:03,850 --> 00:11:04,850 "And two, 232 00:11:04,850 --> 00:11:05,850 and two, 233 00:11:05,850 --> 00:11:07,850 and two." 234 00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:10,299 And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, he said: 235 00:11:10,299 --> 00:11:14,299 "Three who have not reached the age of sin." 236 00:11:14,299 --> 00:11:18,509 Commentary on the hadith: 237 00:11:18,509 --> 00:11:21,509 "Separately" means on their own. 238 00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:24,539 "The men have monopolized your hadith" 239 00:11:24,539 --> 00:11:26,539 means because they accompany you constantly, 240 00:11:26,539 --> 00:11:29,539 hearing knowledge and matters of religion, 241 00:11:29,539 --> 00:11:34,539 while we are vulnerable women unable to jostle with them. 242 00:11:34,539 --> 00:11:36,580 "So appoint for us" 243 00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:38,639 means designate for us. 244 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:40,639 "Sends forth before her"— 245 00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:42,639 what is meant is 246 00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:46,769 that she endures with patience and seeks reward for their loss until the Day of Resurrection. 247 00:11:46,769 --> 00:11:49,769 "Except that they will be a shield for her against the Fire" 248 00:11:49,769 --> 00:11:55,799 means that patience in the face of afflictions serves as a barrier and a safeguard against entering the Fire. 249 00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:57,799 "A woman said"— 250 00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:00,799 she was Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), 251 00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:02,960 and it was said to be someone else. 252 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,960 "Have not reached the age of sin" 253 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,960 means they died before reaching the age of moral responsibility, 254 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,730 so no sins had been recorded against them. 255 00:12:12,730 --> 00:12:16,690 Benefits derived from the hadith: 256 00:12:16,690 --> 00:12:20,690 The hadith demonstrates the virtue of patience upon the loss of children, 257 00:12:20,690 --> 00:12:24,690 the legitimacy of women inquiring about their religion, 258 00:12:24,690 --> 00:12:28,720 and the permissibility of their speaking to men out of necessity. 259 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,720 It also demonstrates the scholar's responsiveness to the students' request to appoint a day for their learning, 260 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:42,059 and the permissibility of announcing that gathering so that people may convene for it. 261 00:12:42,059 --> 00:12:45,059 Chapter: Whoever hears something and does not understand it, 262 00:12:45,059 --> 00:12:48,059 and therefore inquires about it until he grasps it. 263 00:12:48,059 --> 00:12:51,950 On the authority of Ibn Abi Mulaykah, 264 00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:55,950 that 'A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), 265 00:12:55,950 --> 00:12:59,950 never heard anything she did not know 266 00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:04,110 without inquiring about it until she understood it; 267 00:13:04,110 --> 00:13:08,110 and that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 268 00:13:08,110 --> 00:13:11,210 "Whoever is called to account will be punished." 269 00:13:11,210 --> 00:13:14,210 'A'ishah said: "I asked: 270 00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:17,210 'Does not Allah the Exalted say: 271 00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:21,240 “He truly will receive an easy reckoning” (84:8) 272 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,240 She said: "He replied: 273 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,240 'That is only the presentation of deeds; 274 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,259 Commentary on the hadith: 275 00:13:32,259 --> 00:13:37,059 "She inquired" means she asked and sought clarification. 276 00:13:37,059 --> 00:13:40,059 “He truly will receive an easy reckoning” (84:8) 277 00:13:40,059 --> 00:13:44,059 It is the presentation of deeds that is easy and light, 278 00:13:44,059 --> 00:13:47,190 but whoever is closely interrogated in the reckoning will perish. 279 00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:51,190 Interrogation is exhaustive scrutiny in the reckoning, 280 00:13:51,190 --> 00:13:54,190 such that nothing of it is left unexamined. 281 00:13:54,190 --> 00:13:57,860 Benefits derived from the hadith: 282 00:13:57,860 --> 00:14:02,980 The hadith highlights the virtue of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) 283 00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:06,980 and her eagerness to learn and verify. 284 00:14:06,980 --> 00:14:10,980 It affirms the Reckoning, the presentation of deeds, and the punishment, 285 00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:13,980 as well as the differing ranks of people in the Reckoning. 286 00:14:13,980 --> 00:14:16,980 It provides guidance on seeking clarification 287 00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:19,980 regarding ambiguous matters of knowledge, 288 00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:22,980 the permissibility of scholarly debate, 289 00:14:22,980 --> 00:14:25,980 and comparing the Sunnah against the Book. 290 00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:32,490 Chapter: Let the present convey knowledge to the absent. 291 00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:36,159 On the authority of Abu Shurayh al-'Adawi, 292 00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:39,159 that he said to 'Amr ibn Sa'id, 293 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:42,159 while he was dispatching military expeditions to Mecca: 294 00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:45,159 "Grant me leave, O commander, 295 00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:49,159 to relate to you a statement delivered by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 296 00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:52,159 on the day following the Conquest. 297 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:55,159 My two ears heard it, my heart retained it, 298 00:14:55,159 --> 00:14:59,159 and my two eyes saw him when he spoke it. 299 00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:03,450 He praised Allah, extolled Him, and then said: 300 00:15:03,450 --> 00:15:06,539 'Mecca was made sacred by Allah, 301 00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:09,539 and was not made sacred by people. 302 00:15:09,539 --> 00:15:13,539 It is not lawful for anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day 303 00:15:13,539 --> 00:15:16,539 to shed blood therein, 304 00:15:16,539 --> 00:15:19,539 nor to uproot any of its trees. 305 00:15:19,539 --> 00:15:24,700 If anyone seeks a concession based on the fighting of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) 306 00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:27,700 therein, say to him: 307 00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:30,700 "Allah permitted His Messenger, 308 00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:33,740 but He did not permit you." 309 00:15:33,740 --> 00:15:36,740 It was permitted for me for only an hour of a day, 310 00:15:36,740 --> 00:15:39,740 and its sacredness has returned today 311 00:15:39,740 --> 00:15:42,740 just as its sacredness was yesterday. 312 00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:45,740 So let the one who is present convey it to the one who is absent.'" 313 00:15:45,740 --> 00:15:49,059 It was said to Abu Shurayh: 314 00:15:49,059 --> 00:15:52,059 "What did 'Amr say to you?" 315 00:15:53,059 --> 00:15:57,059 He replied: "He said: 'I know that better than you, O Abu Shurayh; 316 00:15:57,059 --> 00:16:00,279 the Sanctuary does not harbor a rebel, 317 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,279 nor one fleeing from bloodshed, 318 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,950 nor one fleeing from a crime.'" 319 00:16:06,950 --> 00:16:10,879 Commentary on the hadith: 320 00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:14,879 "Expeditions" refers to the troops sent for fighting and the like. 321 00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,100 "My heart retained it" 322 00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:21,100 means my heart preserved it, 323 00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:24,100 understood it, and verified its meaning. 324 00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,360 "And my two eyes saw him" 325 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,360 is an emphasis on the certainty of hearing it directly from him 326 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,840 and comprehending it through close proximity and sight. 327 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,840 "Mecca was made sacred by Allah" 328 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,840 refers to venerating Mecca through the sanctification of Allah the Exalted, 329 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,840 and that He, Mighty and Majestic, singled it out 330 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,840 with special characteristics. 331 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,840 "To shed blood therein"— 332 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,840 what is meant is taking a life unlawfully. 333 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,940 "Nor to uproot" means nor to cut down. 334 00:16:53,940 --> 00:16:57,259 "If anyone seeks a concession" 335 00:16:57,259 --> 00:17:00,259 means if anyone claims fighting was permitted, 336 00:17:00,259 --> 00:17:03,259 taking the day of the Conquest of Mecca as an argument. 337 00:17:03,259 --> 00:17:06,539 "Allah permitted His Messenger"— 338 00:17:06,539 --> 00:17:10,539 thus the Sanctuary was, in his right (peace be upon him) 339 00:17:10,539 --> 00:17:13,539 and during that specific hour, treated as non-sacred land. 340 00:17:13,539 --> 00:17:16,799 "Let the one who is present convey it to the one who is absent"— 341 00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,799 the one present is the attendee, 342 00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:22,799 and the intent is to show great care in transmitting knowledge 343 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:25,799 and disseminating the Sunnahs and legal rulings. 344 00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:28,900 "Does not harbor" means it does not grant immunity; 345 00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:31,900 seeking refuge is seeking protection 346 00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:35,019 through something and clinging to it. 347 00:17:35,019 --> 00:17:38,019 "Nor one fleeing" means nor an absconder. 348 00:17:38,019 --> 00:17:41,019 "From a crime"— 349 00:17:41,019 --> 00:17:44,019 it denotes theft and ruin among them, 350 00:17:44,019 --> 00:17:47,019 specifically the theft of camels. 351 00:17:48,019 --> 00:17:51,019 Benefits derived from the hadith: 352 00:17:51,019 --> 00:17:54,569 Derived from the hadith is 353 00:17:54,569 --> 00:17:58,559 the exhortation to convey the religion and disseminate knowledge, 354 00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:01,559 and the guidance to use gracious gentleness 355 00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:04,559 when censuring that which contradicts the objective of the addressees, 356 00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:07,559 as it is more conducive to their acceptance. 357 00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:10,559 It contains the obligation of offering sincere counsel to leaders, 358 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:13,559 without being harsh toward them 359 00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,559 and without deceiving them. 360 00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:19,559 It indicates the prohibition of cutting the trees of the Sanctuary, 361 00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:22,559 and that whoever the Lawgiver directly addresses with knowledge, 362 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,559 its transmission becomes an individual obligation upon him, 363 00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,559 whereas for those after them it is a collective obligation. 364 00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:31,559 It shows the recommendation of praising and extolling Allah 365 00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:34,589 prior to imparting knowledge 366 00:18:34,589 --> 00:18:37,589 and clarifying rulings. 367 00:18:37,589 --> 00:18:40,589 It indicates the legitimacy of delivering a sermon 368 00:18:40,589 --> 00:18:43,589 for important matters and general rulings. 369 00:18:43,589 --> 00:18:46,589 It establishes that declaring things forbidden or permissible 370 00:18:46,589 --> 00:18:49,589 belongs solely to Allah the Exalted, 371 00:18:49,589 --> 00:18:54,859 and no human being has any share in it. 372 00:18:54,859 --> 00:18:57,859 Chapter: The sin of the one who lies against the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 373 00:18:57,859 --> 00:19:01,819 On the authority of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): 374 00:19:01,819 --> 00:19:04,819 The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 375 00:19:04,819 --> 00:19:07,819 "Do not tell lies against me, 376 00:19:07,819 --> 00:19:10,819 for whoever tells a lie against me 377 00:19:10,819 --> 00:19:13,819 will enter the Fire." 378 00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:17,339 And on the authority of al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 379 00:19:17,339 --> 00:19:20,339 The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 380 00:19:20,339 --> 00:19:23,339 "Whoever lies against me, 381 00:19:23,339 --> 00:19:26,339 let him take his seat in the Fire." 382 00:19:26,339 --> 00:19:29,559 And on the authority of Anas, 383 00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:32,559 that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 384 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:35,559 "Whoever intentionally lies against me, 385 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:38,559 let him take his seat in the Fire." 386 00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:41,720 And on the authority of Salamah, who said: 387 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,720 I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 388 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,720 say: 389 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,720 "Whoever attributes to me what I did not say, 390 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,720 let him take his seat in the Fire." 391 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,490 Commentary on the hadith: 392 00:19:57,490 --> 00:20:01,160 Chapter: The sin of the one who lies against the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 393 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,190 This ruling 394 00:20:04,190 --> 00:20:07,190 has been transmitted via mutawatir hadiths from the Prophet (peace be upon him). 395 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:10,349 "Will enter the Fire" 396 00:20:10,349 --> 00:20:13,349 is an invocation of entering the Fire. 397 00:20:13,349 --> 00:20:16,450 "Let him take his seat in the Fire" 398 00:20:16,450 --> 00:20:19,450 means let him prepare and settle into his abode within it. 399 00:20:19,450 --> 00:20:22,769 "Whoever intentionally lies against me" 400 00:20:22,769 --> 00:20:25,769 to clarify that untruth may occur inadvertently or deliberately; 401 00:20:25,769 --> 00:20:28,769 thus, whoever makes an inadvertent mistake, forgets, or errs, 402 00:20:28,769 --> 00:20:31,769 incurs no sin. 403 00:20:31,769 --> 00:20:35,309 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 404 00:20:35,309 --> 00:20:39,369 It is deduced from these hadiths 405 00:20:39,369 --> 00:20:42,369 that it is strictly forbidden to lie against the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 406 00:20:42,369 --> 00:20:45,369 that narrating a lie is prohibited, 407 00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:48,369 and that it is obligatory to verify matters when narrating hadith. 408 00:20:48,369 --> 00:20:51,369 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, 409 00:20:51,369 --> 00:20:56,509 from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 410 00:20:56,509 --> 00:20:59,509 who said: 411 00:20:59,509 --> 00:21:02,509 "Name yourselves after my name, 412 00:21:02,509 --> 00:21:05,509 but do not adopt my kunyah (agnomen). 413 00:21:05,509 --> 00:21:08,509 And whoever sees me in a dream has indeed seen me," 414 00:21:08,509 --> 00:21:11,509 and in another narration: 415 00:21:11,509 --> 00:21:14,670 "he will soon see me in wakefulness, 416 00:21:14,670 --> 00:21:17,670 for Satan cannot assume my likeness. 417 00:21:17,670 --> 00:21:20,700 And whoever lies against me deliberately, 418 00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:23,700 let him take his seat in the Fire." 419 00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:27,380 Commentary on the hadith: 420 00:21:27,380 --> 00:21:30,950 "And do not adopt my kunyah": 421 00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:33,950 a kunyah 422 00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:36,950 is a name that begins with "Abu" (father of) or "Umm" (mother of). 423 00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:39,950 "For Satan cannot assume my likeness": 424 00:21:39,950 --> 00:21:42,950 that is, it is impossible for Satan 425 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:45,950 to appear in the true form of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 426 00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:49,660 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 427 00:21:49,660 --> 00:21:53,710 It is deduced from this hadith 428 00:21:53,710 --> 00:21:56,710 that it is permissible to name a newborn child Muhammad. 429 00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:59,710 It also indicates that seeing the Prophet, peace be upon him, 430 00:21:59,710 --> 00:22:02,710 in a dream 431 00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:05,710 is glad tidings of goodness. 432 00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:08,710 The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to forbid lying in all its forms, 433 00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:11,710 except where an exemption was granted: 434 00:22:11,710 --> 00:22:14,710 such as a man speaking untruthfully to his wife to please her, 435 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:17,710 during warfare, and to reconcile between disputing people. 436 00:22:17,710 --> 00:22:22,789 Chapter: The Writing Down of Knowledge. 437 00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:26,430 On the authority of Abu Juhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 438 00:22:26,430 --> 00:22:29,430 I asked 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him: 439 00:22:29,430 --> 00:22:32,430 "Do you possess any divine revelation 440 00:22:32,430 --> 00:22:35,430 other than what is in the Book of Allah?" 441 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:38,430 He replied, "No, by Him Who split the seed 442 00:22:38,430 --> 00:22:41,430 and created the soul, 443 00:22:41,430 --> 00:22:44,430 I know of none, except an understanding that Allah bestows 444 00:22:44,430 --> 00:22:47,430 upon a person regarding the Qur'an, 445 00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:50,500 and whatever is in this scroll." 446 00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:53,500 I asked, "And what is in this scroll?" 447 00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:56,500 He replied, "The rules of blood money ('aql), 448 00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:00,099 the ransoming of captives, 449 00:23:00,099 --> 00:23:03,809 and that a Muslim shall not be executed for killing a disbeliever." 450 00:23:03,809 --> 00:23:06,809 "Do you possess any divine revelation?": 451 00:23:06,809 --> 00:23:09,809 the meaning is, did the Prophet, peace be upon him, specifically distinguish you 452 00:23:09,809 --> 00:23:12,809 with anything pertaining to religion? 453 00:23:12,809 --> 00:23:15,900 "Split the seed": meaning cracked it open in the earth 454 00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:18,900 until it sprouted and bore fruit. 455 00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:21,900 "Created" (bara'a): meaning brought into being; 456 00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:24,940 and "the soul" (al-nasamah) refers to every living being. 457 00:23:24,940 --> 00:23:28,099 As for "the scroll" (al-sahifah): 458 00:23:28,099 --> 00:23:31,099 it means the written sheet. 459 00:23:32,099 --> 00:23:35,099 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 460 00:23:35,099 --> 00:23:38,930 The early generations (salaf) differed regarding writing down hadith; 461 00:23:38,930 --> 00:23:43,049 some of them disliked writing it and committing knowledge to writing, 462 00:23:43,049 --> 00:23:46,049 enjoining instead that it be memorized, 463 00:23:46,049 --> 00:23:49,049 while others permitted it. 464 00:23:49,049 --> 00:23:52,049 The hadith also refutes the claim 465 00:23:52,049 --> 00:23:55,049 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 466 00:23:55,049 --> 00:23:58,049 bequeathed to 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, 467 00:23:58,049 --> 00:24:01,049 esoteric knowledge 468 00:24:01,049 --> 00:24:04,079 or singled him out with anything exclusive. 469 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:07,079 It also directs one to reflect deeply 470 00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:10,079 upon what is contained in the Holy Qur'an, 471 00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:13,079 for a scholar may extract insights from the Qur'an through his own understanding 472 00:24:13,079 --> 00:24:16,079 that may not have been previously transmitted from earlier exegetes, 473 00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:19,079 provided it accords with the foundations of Islamic law (Shari'ah). 474 00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:22,079 It is also deduced from this 475 00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:25,079 that it is permissible to record legal rulings and write them down. 476 00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:30,190 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah: 477 00:24:30,190 --> 00:24:33,190 In the year of the Conquest of Makkah, 478 00:24:33,190 --> 00:24:36,190 the tribe of Khuza'ah killed a man from Banu Layth 479 00:24:36,190 --> 00:24:39,259 in retaliation for a person of theirs slain during the pre-Islamic period of ignorance. 480 00:24:39,259 --> 00:24:42,259 Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood up 481 00:24:42,259 --> 00:24:45,259 and said, "Indeed, Allah withheld 482 00:24:45,259 --> 00:24:48,259 the elephant from Makkah"— 483 00:24:48,259 --> 00:24:51,259 and in another narration: "withheld slaughter 484 00:24:51,259 --> 00:24:54,319 or the elephant"— 485 00:24:54,319 --> 00:24:57,319 "and gave His Messenger and the believers power over its people. 486 00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:01,319 Fighting in it was not lawful for anyone before me, 487 00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:04,319 nor will it be lawful for anyone after me. 488 00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:07,319 Behold, it was made lawful for me only for an hour of a single day, 489 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:10,319 and behold, it is at this present hour sacred. 490 00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:13,319 And in a narration: 491 00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:16,319 Its game must not be chased away, 492 00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:19,319 its thorny shrubs must not be uprooted, 493 00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:22,319 its trees must not be felled, 494 00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:25,349 and its lost property must not be picked up except by someone announcing it publicly." 495 00:25:25,349 --> 00:25:28,349 "Whoever has a relative slain 496 00:25:28,349 --> 00:25:31,349 has the choice of the two better options: 497 00:25:31,349 --> 00:25:34,480 either to receive blood money or to demand retribution." 498 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,480 Thereupon, a man from the people of Yemen 499 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,480 called Abu Shah stood up 500 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,509 and said, "Write it down for me, O Messenger of Allah!" 501 00:25:43,509 --> 00:25:46,509 So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 502 00:25:46,509 --> 00:25:49,640 "Write it down for Abu Shah." 503 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,640 Then a man from Quraysh stood up 504 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,640 and said, "O Messenger of Allah, 505 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,640 except for idhkhir (sweet rush), 506 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,640 for we use it in our homes and our graves." 507 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,640 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 508 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,410 "Except for idhkhir." 509 00:26:08,410 --> 00:26:12,140 Commentary on the hadith: 510 00:26:12,140 --> 00:26:15,140 "Withheld" means prevented. 511 00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:18,140 "Its thorny shrubs must not be uprooted": 512 00:26:18,140 --> 00:26:21,210 meaning they must not be clipped or cut down. 513 00:26:21,210 --> 00:26:24,210 "Its lost property": that is, whatever fell there due to the owner's oversight, 514 00:26:24,210 --> 00:26:27,269 referring to lost items. 515 00:26:27,269 --> 00:26:30,269 "Except by someone announcing it publicly" (munshid): 516 00:26:30,269 --> 00:26:33,269 the munshid is the one who makes a public proclamation of a lost item, 517 00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:36,269 whereas the seeker of the lost property is termed a nashid; 518 00:26:36,269 --> 00:26:39,269 it is said: "I searched for the lost item" (nashadtu) when seeking it, 519 00:26:39,269 --> 00:26:42,269 and "I announced it" (anshadtu) when proclaiming it, 520 00:26:42,269 --> 00:26:45,269 and the root meaning of inshad is raising one's voice. 521 00:26:45,269 --> 00:26:48,339 "Has the choice of the two better options": 522 00:26:49,339 --> 00:26:52,339 "either to receive blood money," 523 00:26:52,339 --> 00:26:55,339 meaning the killer's paternal kin ('aqilah) pays the victim's blood money, 524 00:26:55,339 --> 00:26:58,339 "or to demand retribution," 525 00:26:58,339 --> 00:27:01,500 meaning the killer is executed. 526 00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:04,500 "A man from Quraysh stood up": 527 00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:07,589 he was al-'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him. 528 00:27:07,589 --> 00:27:10,720 Idhkhir is a well-known plant 529 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,720 with a pleasant scent. 530 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,720 "We use it in our homes": 531 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,720 just as straw is utilized, 532 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,720 for they used to roof their houses with it over timber beams. 533 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,720 "And our graves": 534 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,720 because it is used to seal the gaps of the niche in the grave 535 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,390 between the unbaked bricks. 536 00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:36,349 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 537 00:27:36,349 --> 00:27:39,349 It is deduced from the hadith 538 00:27:39,349 --> 00:27:42,349 that the sanctity of Makkah remains intact until the Day of Judgment. 539 00:27:42,349 --> 00:27:45,349 As for his saying "its thorny shrubs": 540 00:27:45,349 --> 00:27:48,380 It also contains an encouragement for the victim's guardian to deliberate: 541 00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:51,380 if retribution is deemed better than blood money, 542 00:27:51,380 --> 00:27:54,380 he seeks retribution, 543 00:27:54,380 --> 00:27:57,380 and if blood money is better, he accepts it, 544 00:27:57,380 --> 00:28:00,539 without being coerced into doing so. 545 00:28:00,539 --> 00:28:03,539 It also demonstrates the permissibility of writing down knowledge, 546 00:28:03,539 --> 00:28:06,539 and shows the Prophet's guidance, peace be upon him, 547 00:28:06,539 --> 00:28:09,539 directing people to what brings them welfare in their religious and worldly affairs, 548 00:28:09,539 --> 00:28:12,539 and that legal rulings are fundamentally built upon securing benefits 549 00:28:12,539 --> 00:28:16,950 and warding off harms. 550 00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:19,950 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: 551 00:28:19,950 --> 00:28:22,950 "None of the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 552 00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:25,950 narrated more hadiths from him than I did, 553 00:28:25,950 --> 00:28:28,950 except for 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, 554 00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:31,950 for he used to write them down while I did not." 555 00:28:31,950 --> 00:28:35,460 Commentary on the hadith: 556 00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:39,140 "He used to write," meaning write down hadith. 557 00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:42,420 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 558 00:28:44,349 --> 00:28:47,349 The hadith highlights the virtue of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 559 00:28:47,349 --> 00:28:50,349 and reflects their ardent dedication to preserving the hadith 560 00:28:50,349 --> 00:28:53,349 of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 561 00:28:53,349 --> 00:28:56,349 as well as recording and conveying it.
