more emphasized. 194 00:10:47,909 --> 00:10:50,909 And on the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 195 00:10:50,909 --> 00:10:53,909 "In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we used to eat 196 00:10:53,909 --> 00:10:56,909 while walking, 197 00:10:56,909 --> 00:11:00,070 and we used to drink while standing." 198

even worse," 208 00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:34,580 "or more abominable." 209 00:11:34,580 --> 00:11:37,620 Narrated by Muslim. 210 00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:40,620 In a narration by Muslim, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 211 00:11:40,620 --> 00:11:43,940 rebuked drinking while standing. 212 00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:46,940 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 213 00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:49,940 The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 214 00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:52,940 "Let none of you drink while standing. 215 00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:55,940 And whoever forgets, let him induce vomiting." 216 00:11:55,940 --> 00:12:02,460 Narrated by Muslim. 217 00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:05,460 Chapter: The Recommendation

him), 220 00:12:12,769 --> 00:12:15,769 on the authority of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: 221 00:12:15,769 --> 00:12:18,769 "The one who serves drink to a people should be the last of them to drink." 222 00:12:18,769 --> 00:12:21,769 Narrated by al-Tirmidhi. 223 00:12:21,769 --> 00:12:25,789 Among the benefits of the hadith: 224 00:12:25,789 --> 00:12:28,789 From the etiquette of the one serving water, milk, and the like— 225 00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:31,789 such as one who distributes food to a group, 226 00:12:31,789 --> 00:12:34,789 like meat, fruit, or other items— 227 00:12:34,789 --> 00:12:37,789 is that he should be the last of them to partake of it himself. 228 00:12:37,789 --> 00:12:41,139 Whoever assumes authority over any affair of the Ummah 229 00:12:41,139 --> 00:12:44,139 must strive toward that which benefits them 230 00:12:44,139 --> 00:12:47,139 and ward off that which harms them, 231 00:12:47,139 --> 00:12:50,559 prioritizing their welfare over his own. 232 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,559 An elucidation of the true nature of altruism (*ithar*): 233 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,559 For in such situations, the soul 234 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,559 naturally seeks and desires [its share], 235 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,929 so giving precedence to others over oneself 236 00:13:04,929 --> 00:13:07,929 is a manifestation of altruism. 237 00:13:07,929 --> 00:13:10,929 Chapter: The Permissibility of Drinking from All Pure Vessels 238 00:13:10,929 --> 00:13:13,929 Other Than Gold and Silver, 239 00:13:13,929 --> 00:13:16,929 the

00:13:33,210 "The time for prayer arrived, 245 00:13:33,210 --> 00:13:36,210 so those whose homes were nearby stood up and went to their families, 246 00:13:36,210 --> 00:13:38,210 while a group remained. 247 00:13:38,210 --> 00:13:41,210 Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was brought 248 00:13:41,210 --> 00:13:44,210 a stone basin. 249 00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:47,210 The basin was too small for him to spread his palm out in it, 250 00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:50,210 yet all the people performed ablution from it." 251 00:13:50,210 --> 00:13:53,240 They asked, "How many were you?" 252 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,240 He said, "Eighty or more." 253 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,240 Agreed upon. 254 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,269 And this is the wording of al-Bukhari. 255 00:14:01,269 --> 00:14:04,269 In another narration by him and Muslim: 256 00:14:04,269 --> 00:14:07,269 The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 257 00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:10,269 called for a vessel of water, 258 00:14:10,269 --> 00:14:13,269 and he was brought a wide, shallow bowl containing a small amount of water. 259 00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:16,269 He placed his fingers in it. 260 00:14:16,269 --> 00:14:18,269 Anas said: 261 00:14:18,269 --> 00:14:22,269 "I began looking at the water gushing from between his fingers, 262 00:14:22,269 --> 00:14:24,269 and I estimated those who performed ablution 263 00:14:24,269 --> 00:14:27,269 to be between seventy and eighty." 264 00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:30,009 *Al-mikhdab*: 265 00:14:30,009 --> 00:14:32,009 Meaning a

00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,159 An elucidation of one of the miracles of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), 270 00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:49,159 which is the gushing of water from between his fingers. 271 00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:53,700 The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) witnessing 272 00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:55,700 his miracles 273 00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,090 and gaining reassurance through them. 274 00:14:58,090 --> 00:15:01,090 Seeking water for ablution when the time for prayer arrives; 275 00:15:01,090 --> 00:15:03,090 as stated in a narration: 276 00:15:03,090 --> 00:15:06,090 "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 277 00:15:06,090 --> 00:15:08,090 when the time for the 'Asr prayer had arrived, 278 00:15:08,090 --> 00:15:12,090 and the people sought water for ablution but could not find any." 279 00:15:12,090 --> 00:15:14,629 The permissibility of performing ablution and ghusl 280 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:19,139 using stone basins, shallow bowls, wood, and stone. 281 00:15:19,139 --> 00:15:23,139 Ablution is not restricted to a fixed, specified amount of water, 282 00:15:23,139 --> 00:15:28,139 because the Companions scooped from that bowl without fixed measurement, 283 00:15:28,139 --> 00:15:32,139 provided there is no extravagance or wastefulness. 284 00:15:32,139 --> 00:15:37,230 On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 285 00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:40,230 "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to us, 286 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:44,230 so we brought out water for him in a brass vessel, 287 00:15:44,230 --> 00:15:46,330 and he performed ablution." 288 00:15:46,330 --> 00:15:48,549 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 289 00:15:48,549 --> 00:15:51,549 *Al-Sufr* is brass. 290 00:15:51,549 --> 00:15:53,549 *Al-Tawr* is like a bowl. 291 00:15:53,549 --> 00:15:57,669 Among the benefits of the hadith: 292 00:15:57,669 --> 00:16:01,669 The permissibility of performing ablution and ghusl using brass vessels. 293 00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:05,539 On the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), 294 00:16:05,539 --> 00:16:08,539 that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 295 00:16:08,539 --> 00:16:11,539 entered upon a man from the Ansar 296 00:16:11,539 --> 00:16:13,539 accompanied by a Companion of his, 297 00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:17,539 and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 298 00:16:17,539 --> 00:16:22,539 "If you have water that has remained overnight in a waterskin, [bring it to us]; 299 00:16:22,539 --> 00:16:24,659 otherwise, we will lap water directly." 300 00:16:24,659 --> 00:16:26,659 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 301 00:16:26,659 --> 00:16:29,820 *Al-shann* is an old waterskin. 302 00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:32,370 "We will lap water directly" (*kara'na*): 303 00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:36,370 Meaning we will drink water directly with the mouth without using a vessel or hands. 304 00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:39,360 Among the benefits of the hadith: 305 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,549 There is no harm in drinking cool water on a hot day, 306 00:16:43,549 --> 00:16:49,549 which is why the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) asked for water kept in a waterskin; 307 00:16:49,549 --> 00:16:54,549 and this is among the blessings Allah has bestowed upon His servants. 308 00:16:54,549 --> 00:16:59,970 A person is permitted to ask another for water beyond his immediate need, 309 00:16:59,970 --> 00:17:01,970 without causing him harm. 310 00:17:01,970 --> 00:17:05,380 The permissibility of drinking milk diluted with water, 311 00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:07,380 because in the hadith, 312 00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:11,380 the Ansari man milked a domestic goat over water for him. 313 00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:13,380 As for commercial sales, 314 00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:19,079 mixing them is impermissible, as it constitutes deception. 315 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,079 On the authority of Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 316 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:28,079 "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade us from wearing silk and brocade, 317 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:31,079 and from drinking in vessels of gold and silver, 318 00:17:31,079 --> 00:17:33,079 and he said: 319 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:35,079 'They are for them in this world, 320 00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:37,079 and for you in the Hereafter.'" 321 00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:40,779 Agreed upon. 322 00:17:40,779 --> 00:17:42,779

00:17:48,849 --> 00:17:50,849 because it is their enjoyment in this world, 326 00:17:50,849 --> 00:17:53,849 while they have no share in the Hereafter. 327 00:17:53,849 --> 00:17:56,390 The attire of the people of disbelief 328 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:59,390 differs from the attire of the people of faith; 329 00:17:59,390 --> 00:18:03,390 for the attire of the people of disbelief is characterized by luxury, self-indulgence, 330 00:18:03,390 --> 00:18:06,390 opulence, pride, and the like, 331 00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:08,839 unlike the people of faith. 332 00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:10,839 The permissibility for the people of faith to enjoy 333 00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:12,839 everything that Allah has made lawful for them, 334 00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:14,839 without approaching what is forbidden, 335 00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:17,839 for there is no true enjoyment in it. 336 00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:20,220 Glad tiding for the people of faith 337 00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:24,220 who obey the command of Allah and His Messenger that they will attain Paradise, 338 00:18:24,220 --> 00:18:27,220 and that those deprived of it in this world 339 00:18:27,220 --> 00:18:30,220 shall receive it on the Day of Resurrection. 340 00:18:30,220 --> 00:18:34,279 On the authority of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), 341 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:38,279 that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 342 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:41,309 "He who drinks from a silver vessel 343 00:18:41,309 --> 00:18:45,309 only swallows the fire of Hell gurgling into his belly." 344 00:18:45,309 --> 00:18:47,309 Agreed upon. 345 00:18:47,309 --> 00:18:50,380 In a narration by Muslim: 346 00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:55,380 "He who eats or drinks in vessels of silver and gold..."

a fire from Hell gurgling into his belly." 350 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,109 Among the benefits of the hadith: 351 00:19:09,109 --> 00:19:12,269 The prohibition of using gold and silver. 352
