1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,839
The Garden of Guidance.

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:07,540
Allah, Almighty and Glorious, said:

3
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:17,239
“This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe and do good works. Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee therefor, save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Responsive.” (42:23)

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:25,239
“This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe and do good works. Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee therefor, save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Responsive.” (42:23)

5
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:32,329
“This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe and do good works. Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee therefor, save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Responsive.” (42:23)

6
00:00:32,329 --> 00:00:39,350
“This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe and do good works. Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee therefor, save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Responsive.” (42:23)

7
00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:01,869
"And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day,

8
00:01:01,869 --> 00:01:05,870
let him speak good or remain silent."

9
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:07,930
Agreed upon [by al-Bukhari and Muslim].

10
00:01:07,930 --> 00:01:11,760
When al-Bukhari narrated

11
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,760
from Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both,

12
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,760
that he was asked regarding His saying:

13
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,760
“This it is which Allah announceth unto His bondmen who believe and do good works. Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee therefor, save lovingkindness among kinsfolk. And whoso scoreth a good deed We add unto its good for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Responsive.” (42:23)

14
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,799
Sa'id ibn Jubayr said: "It means closeness to the family of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."

15
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:26,799
"Closeness to the family of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."

16
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:28,920
Ibn 'Abbas replied:

17
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,920
"You have jumped to a conclusion.

18
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Indeed, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

19
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920
was related to every single clan

20
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,920
of Quraysh without exception."

21
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,989
So he said:

22
00:01:40,989 --> 00:01:45,989
"Except that you maintain the ties of kinship between me and you."

23
00:01:45,989 --> 00:01:48,049
Narrated by al-Bukhari.

24
00:01:48,049 --> 00:01:51,239
And this—Allah knows best—perhaps

25
00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:55,239
resembles what Moses, peace be upon him, said to his people:

26
00:01:55,239 --> 00:02:00,239
“And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.” (44:20)

27
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,239
“And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.” (44:21)
