'Abdullah Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both): 00:03:05.780 --> 00:03:08.580 A man from the Ansar disputed with al-Zubayr 00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:11.780 before the Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:15.780 concerning the irrigation streams of the Harrah with which they watered date palms. 00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:17.780 The Ansari said, 00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:19.979 "Let the water flow on." 00:03:19.979 --> 00:03:21.680 But al-Zubayr refused him, 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.879 so they took their dispute to the Prophet (peace be upon him). 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.879 Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.379 to al-Zubayr: 00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:32.180 "Water your land, O Zubayr, 00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:35.210 and then release the water to your neighbor." 00:03:35.210 --> 00:03:38.110 The Ansari became angry and said, 00:03:38.110 --> 00:03:40.610 "Is it because he is the son of your paternal aunt?" 00:03:40.610 --> 00:03:45.110 At that, the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) changed color in anger, 00:03:45.110 --> 00:03:46.610 and he then said: 00:03:46.610 --> 00:03:48.310 "Water your land, O Zubayr, 00:03:48.310 --> 00:03:52.580 and then retain the water until it reaches the boundary walls." 00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:53.979 In another narration: 00:03:53.979

matter." 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.300 “But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.” (4:65) 00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:10.080 “But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.” (4:65) 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.449 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:04:13.449 --> 00:04:14.750 "Damming" (al-sakr) 00:04:14.750 --> 00:04:17.420 is damming up and holding back water. 00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:19.420 "In the irrigation streams of the Harrah" 00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:22.920 refers to the watercourses located in the Harrah volcanic tract. 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.519 "Let the water flow" 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.920 means release it and allow it to pass. 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.519 "He refused him," 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:33.339 meaning al-Zubayr declined to release the water to his disputant. 00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:35.040 "The son of your paternal aunt": 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.439 the mother of al-Zubayr 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.540 was Safiyyah bint 'Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her), 00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:44.769 and she was the paternal aunt of the Prophet (peace be upon him). 00:04:44.769 --> 00:04:48.970 "The face of the Messenger of Allah changed color," 00:04:48.970 --> 00:04:51.370 meaning his complexion altered out of anger. 00:04:51.370 --> 00:04:52.370 "Retain" 00:04:52.370 --> 00:04:53.970 means hold back the water. 00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:55.170 "The boundary walls" (al-judur) 00:04:55.170 --> 00:04:58.269 refers to the barriers and embankments that hold the water. 00:04:58.269 --> 00:04:59.470 "I truly believe" 00:04:59.470 --> 00:05:00.870 literally means "I think," 00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:02.269 but what is meant here 00:05:02.269 --> 00:05:04.829 is firm conviction. 00:05:04.829 --> 00:05:06.730 “But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.” (4:65) 00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:10.230 “But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.” (4:65) 00:05:10.230 --> 00:05:14.129 That is, in everything wherein dispute arises. 00:05:14.129 --> 00:05:15.529 "He granted him his full right" 00:05:15.529 --> 00:05:18.360 means he gave him his complete, comprehensive entitlement. 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.240 Key Takeaways from the Hadith: 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.240 It is derived from the hadith 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.639 that the water of naturally flowing valleys not extracted by human labor is unowned and permissible for all, 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.939 and whoever reaches it first has the greatest right to it. 00:05:31.939 --> 00:05:37.740 It demonstrates the legitimacy of rebuking and disciplining anyone who behaves insolently toward the leader or judge. 00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:42.540 It highlights that the purpose of sending messengers is that they be obeyed, 00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:49.430 and that people should submit to them in all that they enjoin and forbid. 00:05:49.529 --> 00:05:52.550 Chapter: The Merit of Providing Water. 00:05:52.550 --> 00:05:55.949 On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), 00:05:55.949 --> 00:06:00.379 the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

00:06:11.779 She neither fed it nor gave it water while confining it, 00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:16.779 nor did she let it free to eat from the vermin of the earth." 00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:20.100 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:24.009 "The vermin of the earth" means insects and small crawling creatures. 00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:27.639 Key Takeaways from the Hadith: 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.740 It is derived from the hadith that the Hellfire has already been created and currently exists. 00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:39.889 It guides toward kindness to animals and establishes the prohibition of mistreating them. 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:45.699 Chapter: Whoever Holds that the Owner of the Basin and Waterskin Has the Foremost Right to Its Water. 00:06:45.699 --> 00:06:48.500 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), 00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:52.529 from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: 00:06:52.529 --> 00:06:54.730 "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, 00:06:54.730 --> 00:07:01.970 I will surely drive men away from my Basin just as a stray camel is driven away from a watering trough." 00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:05.149 Commentary on the Hadith: 00:07:05.149 --> 00:07:11.350 "I will surely drive away" means I will expel them, just as a stray camel is driven away, 00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:15.449 meaning as an unfamiliar female camel is repelled from the trough 00:07:15.449 --> 00:07:18.800 when it attempts to drink alongside someone else's camels. 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.470 Key Takeaways from the Hadith: 00:07:22.470 --> 00:07:24.470 It is derived from the hadith 00:07:24.470 --> 00:07:26.269 that the Prophetic Basin is real and affirmed. 00:07:26.269 --> 00:07:33.589 The hadith also points to the virtue of sincerity and steadfast adherence to the Sunnah. 00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:36.089 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, who said: 00:07:36.089 --> 00:07:38.889 The first woman to use a waist-girdle 00:07:38.889 --> 00:07:41.389 was the mother of Isma'il; 00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:46.050 she wore a girdle to efface her tracks from Sarah. 00:07:46.050 --> 00:07:51.050 Then Ibrahim brought her and her son Isma'il while she was still nursing him, 00:07:51.050 --> 00:07:53.649 until he settled them near the House, 00:07:53.649 --> 00:07:57.850 beneath a large tree above Zamzam at the highest part of the Mosque. 00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.850 In those days, there was no one in Makkah, 00:08:00.850 --> 00:08:02.850 nor was there any water. 00:08:02.850 --> 00:08:04.850 So he left them there, 00:08:04.850 --> 00:08:08.350 placing beside them a leather bag containing dates 00:08:08.350 --> 00:08:10.850 and a waterskin containing water. 00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:14.350 Then Ibrahim turned to depart, 00:08:14.350 --> 00:08:17.649 so the mother of Isma'il followed him, saying: 00:08:17.649 --> 00:08:19.350 "O Ibrahim! 00:08:19.350 --> 00:08:22.850 Where are you going, leaving us in this valley 00:08:23.050 --> 00:08:26.050 where there is neither human company nor anything else?" 00:08:26.050 --> 00:08:29.050 She repeated that to him several times, 00:08:29.050 --> 00:08:32.049 but he did not turn back to look at her. 00:08:32.049 --> 00:08:34.049 So she asked him, 00:08:34.049 --> 00:08:37.049 "Has Allah commanded you to do this?" 00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:39.049 He replied, "Yes." 00:08:39.049 --> 00:08:40.049 She said, 00:08:40.049 --> 00:08:42.049 "Then He will not forsake us." 00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:44.049 She then returned, 00:08:44.049 --> 00:08:46.049 and Ibrahim journeyed on 00:08:46.049 --> 00:08:49.049 until he reached the mountain pass 00:08:49.049 --> 00:08:51.049 where they could no longer see him. 00:08:51.250 --> 00:08:53.250 He then turned his face toward the House, 00:08:53.250 --> 00:08:56.250 raised his hands in supplication, 00:08:56.250 --> 00:08:59.250 and prayed with these words, saying: 00:08:59.250 --> 00:09:03.250 "Our Lord, I have settled some of my
