--> 00:12:31.070 onions and garlic. 00:12:31.070 --> 00:12:35.070 I have seen the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:39.070 when he would detect their scent on a man in the mosque, 00:12:39.070 --> 00:12:43.139 he would order him to be taken out to al-Baqi‘. 00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:45.139 So whoever eats them, 00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:48.389 let him kill their odor by cooking them." 00:12:48.389 --> 00:12:51.379 Narrated by Muslim. 00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:53.379 "I consider them" 00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:55.539 means: I do not deem them to be anything else. 00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:57.539 "Foul" 00:12:57.539 --> 00:13:01.929 means: of poor taste and repulsive odor. 00:13:01.929 --> 00:13:03.929 "Let him kill them" 00:13:03.929 --> 00:13:06.929 means: let him eliminate their odor. 00:13:06.929 --> 00:13:09.820 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:14.179 The prohibition is specific to those who intend to enter the mosque, 00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:16.179 and is not absolute. 00:13:16.179 --> 00:13:20.179 This is because these vegetables are inherently permissible. 00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:24.659 The prohibition is against eating them when attending the mosques, 00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:27.659 because their odor is foul. 00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:31.659 Therefore, this applies to anything with a repulsive odor, 00:13:31.659 --> 00:13:34.659 such as radishes, smoke, and the like. 00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:40.100 The angels are offended by that which offends the children of Adam. 00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:44.580 Islam is keen on the harmony of its followers, 00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:47.580 and on removing anything that might alienate them, 00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:49.580 or cause division among their congregation. 00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:57.909 Chapter: The dislike of sitting in the 'ihtiba' position on Friday while the Imam is delivering the sermon. 00:13:57.909 --> 00:13:59.909 Because it induces sleep, 00:13:59.909 --> 00:14:01.909 causing one to miss listening to the sermon, 00:14:01.909 --> 00:14:04.909 and there is a fear of breaking one's wudu'. 00:14:04.909 --> 00:14:11.100 From Mu‘adh ibn Anas al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:14.129 that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:14:14.129 --> 00:14:17.129 forbade the 'ihtiba' position on Friday 00:14:17.129 --> 00:14:19.129 while the Imam is delivering the sermon. 00:14:19.129 --> 00:14:22.350 Narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi. 00:14:22.350 --> 00:14:28.120 'Ihtiba' is for a person to draw their legs up to their abdomen, 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.120 using a garment to hold them together with their back, 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.120 and tying it around them. 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.149 It may also be done with the hands instead of a garment. 00:14:37.149 --> 00:14:40.919 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:45.210 The prohibition of 'ihtiba' during the Friday sermon. 00:14:45.210 --> 00:14:48.529 The 'ihtiba' position is a likely cause of sleep, 00:14:48.529 --> 00:14:51.529 and therefore, one misses listening to the sermon. 00:14:51.529 --> 00:14:53.529 It may also invalidate one's wudu'. 00:14:53.529 --> 00:14:58.070 The encouragement to be attentive to the speaker on Friday, 00:14:58.070 --> 00:15:01.070 and not to be distracted from it, 00:15:01.070 --> 00:15:04.070 so that the purpose of listening to him is achieved. 00:15:04.070 --> 00:15:10.889 Chapter: The prohibition for one who has entered the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah 00:15:10.889 --> 00:15:12.889 and intends to offer a sacrifice, 00:15:12.889 --> 00:15:15.889 from removing any of his hair or nails 00:15:15.889 --> 00:15:17.889 until he has offered the sacrifice. 00:15:17.889 --> 00:15:23.200 From Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.200 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.299 "Whoever has an animal to sacrifice, 00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:33.299 when the crescent of Dhu al-Hijjah appears, 00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:37.299 let him not remove any of his hair or nails 00:15:37.299 --> 00:15:40.299 until he has offered the sacrifice." 00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:43.580 Narrated by Muslim. 00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:47.419 "Sacrifice" refers to what is slaughtered as an offering, 00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:50.419 or other animals. 00:15:50.419 --> 00:15:52.669 "Let him not remove" 00:15:52.669 --> 00:15:54.669 means: let him not trim them. 00:15:54.669 --> 00:15:58.659 Among the benefits of the hadith: 00:15:58.659 --> 00:16:01.889 The prohibition for one upon whom the sacrifice is incumbent, 00:16:01.889 --> 00:16:03.889 and who has seen the crescent of Dhu al-Hijjah, 00:16:03.889 --> 00:16:07.889 from removing anything from his nails or hair. 00:16:07.889 --> 00:16:11.980 Riyad al-Salihin.
