If believing women come unto thee, taking oath of allegiance unto thee that they will ascribe no thing as partner unto Allah, and will neither steal nor commit adultery nor kill their children, nor produce any lie that they have devised between their hands and feet, nor disobey thee in what is right, then accept their allegiance and ask Allah to forgive them.

00:01:54,659 "He took their pledge only by saying" 43 00:01:54,659 --> 00:01:57,939 is an emphasis on the complete absence of physical touch. 44 00:01:57,939 --> 00:02:01,379 Key Benefits of the Hadith: 45 00:02:01,459 --> 00:02:03,459 It is derived from the hadith: 46 00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:06,500 The validity of the migration and pledge of allegiance of women. 47 00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:08,900 It indicates that the pledge of allegiance of women 48 00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:11,620 is made verbally without clasping hands, 49 00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:13,300 whereas the pledge of allegiance of men 50 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,110 is made by clasping hands along with speech. 51 00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:20,750 It indicates that hearing the speech of a non-mahram woman is permissible when needed, 52 00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:23,550 and that her voice is not an 'awrah. 53 00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:28,909 It indicates that it is unlawful to touch the skin of a non-mahram woman without necessity, 54 00:02:28,909 --> 00:02:31,310 such as medical treatment, phlebotomy, cupping, 55 00:02:31,310 --> 00:02:34,590 tooth extraction, applying kohl to the eye, and the like, 56 00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:37,550 whenever there is no woman available to perform it; 57 00:02:37,550 --> 00:02:41,599 only then is it permissible for a non-mahram man to do so out of necessity. 58 00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,879 It shows the permissibility of swearing an oath without being asked to swear. 59 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:48,080 It provides guidance toward fulfilling covenants. 60 00:02:50,509 --> 00:02:55,310 Chapter: Stipulations in the Mahr (Dowry) at the Time of the Marriage Contract. 61 00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:56,430 On the authority of 'Uqbah, 62 00:02:56,430 --> 00:03:00,270 from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: 63 00:03:00,270 --> 00:03:04,189 "The most rightful conditions to be fulfilled 64 00:03:04,189 --> 00:03:07,650 are those by which you make sexual relations lawful." 65 00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:11,120 Commentary on the Hadith: 66 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,680 'Uqdah means the contract of marriage. 67 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400 "The most rightful" means the foremost and most deserving. 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,520 "You fulfilled" is derived from fulfillment. 69 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,840 "Those by which you make sexual relations lawful" 70 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,199 refers to the stipulations of marriage. 71 00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,979 Key Benefits of the Hadith: 72 00:03:28,979 --> 00:03:30,900 It is derived from the hadith: 73 00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:33,539 The default ruling regarding sexual relations is prohibition. 74 00:03:33,539 --> 00:03:38,419 Sexual relations are made lawful in the Sharia through marriage and lawful ownership, 75 00:03:38,419 --> 00:03:41,460 provided there is no legal impediment. 76 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:46,180 It indicates that every condition agreed upon between the spouses, 77 00:03:46,180 --> 00:03:49,939 which religion does not disallow and the Sharia has not forbidden, 78 00:03:49,939 --> 00:03:54,379 is obligatory for the husband to fulfill. 79 00:03:54,379 --> 00:03:56,939 Chapter: If It Is Stipulated in Sharecropping: 80 00:03:56,939 --> 00:03:59,949 "I will expel you whenever I wish." 81 00:04:00,030 --> 00:04:03,419 On the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 82 00:04:03,419 --> 00:04:07,020 When the people of Khaybar dislocated the joints of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar, 83 00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:09,819 'Umar stood up delivering a sermon and said: 84 00:04:09,819 --> 00:04:12,780 "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) 85 00:04:12,780 --> 00:04:16,379 engaged the Jews of Khaybar to manage their property, 86 00:04:16,379 --> 00:04:20,899 and said: 'We allow you to remain as long as Allah allows you.' 87 00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:25,060 And 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar went out to his property there, 88 00:04:25,060 --> 00:04:27,300 but was attacked at night, 89 00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:29,939 and his hands and feet were dislocated. 90 00:04:29,939 --> 00:04:33,139 We have no enemy there other than them; 91 00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:35,939 they are our enemies and the suspects, 92 00:04:35,939 --> 00:04:38,579 and I have decided to expel them." 93 00:04:38,579 --> 00:04:41,300 When 'Umar resolved upon that, 94 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,019 one of the sons of Abu al-Huqayq came to him 95 00:04:44,019 --> 00:04:45,139 and said: 96 00:04:45,139 --> 00:04:47,220 "O Commander of the Faithful, 97 00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:52,259 will you expel us when Muhammad (peace be upon him) confirmed our stay, 98 00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:54,259 engaged us to work the property, 99 00:04:54,259 --> 00:04:56,660 and stipulated that for us?" 100 00:04:56,660 --> 00:04:58,259 'Umar said: 101 00:04:58,259 --> 00:05:03,459 "Did you think I forgot the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): 102 00:05:03,459 --> 00:05:06,579 'How will you be when you are expelled from Khaybar, 103 00:05:06,579 --> 00:05:10,589 your young she-camel carrying you night after night?'" 104 00:05:10,589 --> 00:05:11,870 He replied: 105 00:05:11,870 --> 00:05:15,629 "That was just a little joke from Abu al-Qasim." 106 00:05:15,629 --> 00:05:16,589 'Umar said: 107 00:05:16,589 --> 00:05:19,069 "You have lied, O enemy of Allah!" 108 00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:20,910 So 'Umar expelled them, 109 00:05:20,910 --> 00:05:24,430 and gave them the value of their share of the fruits 110 00:05:24,430 --> 00:05:26,110 in wealth, camels, 111 00:05:26,110 --> 00:05:28,910 and goods such as pack-saddles, ropes, 112 00:05:28,910 --> 00:05:31,360 and other items. 113 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,509 Commentary on the Hadith: 114 00:05:34,509 --> 00:05:37,069 Fada'a means broke or dislocated joints. 115 00:05:37,069 --> 00:05:38,509 "Their property" 116 00:05:38,509 --> 00:05:43,550 refers to what belonged to them before Allah granted it as spoils to the Muslims. 117 00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:46,430 "We allow you to remain as long as Allah allows you" 118 00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:47,550 means: 119 00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:51,470 "We let you stay, but whenever we wish, we may expel you." 120 00:05:51,470 --> 00:05:52,990 "He was attacked": 121 00:05:52,990 --> 00:05:53,949 it was said 122 00:05:54,910 --> 00:05:59,459 they threw him from the top of a house and broke his hands. 123 00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:00,980 "And the suspects" 124 00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:04,019 means those whom we accuse of having done this. 125 00:06:04,019 --> 00:06:05,540 "Their expulsion" 126 00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:08,100 means removing them from their land. 127 00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,139 "Resolved" 128 00:06:09,139 --> 00:06:10,660 means determined. 129 00:06:10,660 --> 00:06:12,500 "Banu Abi al-Huqayq" 130 00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:13,699 or Ibn Abi al-Huqayq 131 00:06:13,699 --> 00:06:16,019 were the leaders of the Jews. 132 00:06:16,019 --> 00:06:17,220 "Carrying you swiftly" 133 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:18,740 means running with you. 134 00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:20,100 "Your young she-camel" (qalus): 135 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,300 the qalus 136 00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,860 is a she-camel enduring long travel; 137 00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:24,819 it was also said: 138 00:06:24,819 --> 00:06:26,100 a young she-camel; 139 00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,420 and other meanings were also suggested. 140 00:06:28,420 --> 00:06:29,540 Hazilah 141 00:06:29,540 --> 00:06:31,779 means a minor joke. 142 00:06:31,779 --> 00:06:32,980 Aqtab 143 00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:35,939 means small saddles placed on camels. 144 00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:39,629 Key Benefits of the Hadith: 145 00:06:39,629 --> 00:06:41,550 It is derived from the hadith: 146 00:06:41,550 --> 00:06:45,149 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled the Jews of Khaybar 147 00:06:45,149 --> 00:06:49,310 in implementation of the hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). 148 00:06:49,310 --> 00:06:51,709 Some scholars used this hadith as evidence 149 00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:57,149 that if the landowner dislikes the sharecropper due to an offense committed by him, 150 00:06:57,149 --> 00:07:00,829 he has the right to dismiss him even after work has commenced, 151 00:07:00,829 --> 00:07:04,029 giving him his due share for the work he performed. 152 00:07:04,029 --> 00:07:07,870 It shows the legitimacy of acting based on circumstantial evidence of enmity, 153 00:07:07,870 --> 00:07:10,670 because 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 154 00:07:10,670 --> 00:07:13,949 "We have no enemy there other than them." 155 00:07:13,949 --> 00:07:18,430 The hadith serves as proof for expelling the Jews from the Arabian Peninsula. 156 00:07:18,509 --> 00:07:21,389 It indicates that the Jews are enemies of Allah Almighty, 157 00:07:21,389 --> 00:07:24,990 enemies of His Messenger (peace be upon him), 158 00:07:24,990 --> 00:07:28,189 and enemies of all Muslims. 159 00:07:28,189 --> 00:07:33,629 It indicates the permissibility of leasing one's land to another in exchange for a share of the produce. 160 00:07:33,629 --> 00:07:37,949 It indicates the permissibility of business dealings with Jews in matters lawful in the Sharia. 161 00:07:37,949 --> 00:07:44,269 It indicates that Muslims own the land and plantations of territories conquered by force, such as Khaybar; 162 00:07:44,269 --> 00:07:47,069 therefore, when the Jews were expelled from it, 163 00:07:47,149 --> 00:07:49,459 they were not paid the value of the land itself. 164 00:07:49,459 --> 00:07:54,180 It shows that if the ruler grants a treaty of protection (dhimmah) to a group 165 00:07:54,180 --> 00:07:57,060 on condition that none of them acts treacherously, 166 00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:59,779 and then one individual from the group betrays it, 167 00:07:59,779 --> 00:08:02,980 he is entitled to revoke the treaty for all of them. 168 00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:05,459 The hadith is among the signs of Prophethood, 169 00:08:05,459 --> 00:08:10,180 as the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to the Jewish man came to pass: 170 00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:12,980 "How will you be when you are expelled from Khaybar, 171 00:08:12,980 --> 00:08:15,360 your young she-camel carrying you swiftly?" 172 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,759 It provides guidance on justice and fairness, even with the enemy. 173 00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:27,709 It shows that entering into a treaty with a disbeliever does not necessitate loving or taking him as an ally. 174 00:08:27,709 --> 00:08:32,029 Chapter: Permissible Stipulations and Exceptions in Acknowledgments, 175 00:08:32,029 --> 00:08:35,389 Customary Conditions Recognized Among People, 176

said: 179 00:08:44,830 --> 00:08:47,710 "Allah has ninety-nine names, 180 00:08:47,710 --> 00:08:50,269 one hundred minus one; 181 00:08:50,269 --> 00:08:54,220 whoever memorizes them will enter Paradise." 182 00:08:54,220 --> 00:08:55,659 In another narration: 183 00:08:55,659 --> 00:08:58,779 "Whoever enumerates and preserves them will enter Paradise. 184 00:08:58,779 --> 00:09:02,559 And He is Odd (One) and loves that which is odd." 185 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,840 Commentary on the Hadith: 186 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,100 Al-Thunya means exception. 187 00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:13,500 "Memorizes them": memorizing them involves counting them accurately, 188 00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:16,620 praising Allah Almighty by all of them, 189 00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:19,279 and acting in accordance with their implications. 190 00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:22,480 Witr means Single and One. 191 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,159 Key Benefits of the Hadith: 192 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,159 It is derived from the hadith: 193 00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:32,080 The names and attributes of Allah Almighty are strictly based on revelation (tawqifiyyah), 194 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,480 known only through Divine revelation. 195 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:41,899 The hadith points to the profound importance of Tawhid (Islamic monotheism). 196 00:09:41,899 --> 00:09:44,350 The Book of Wills. 197 00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:45,789 A will (wasiyyah) 198 00:09:45,789 --> 00:09:51,679 is the conveyance of ownership that takes effect after death. 199 00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:56,399 Chapter: Wills, and the Statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him): 200 00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,370 "A man's will should be written and kept in his possession." 201 00:10:00,370 --> 00:10:03,809 On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), 202 00:10:03,809 --> 00:10:08,049 That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 203 00:10:08,049 --> 00:10:12,450 "It is not right for a Muslim person who has anything to bequeath 204 00:10:12,450 --> 00:10:18,659 to pass two nights without having his will written down with him." 205 00:10:18,659 --> 00:10:22,100 Commentary on the hadith: 206 00:10:22,179 --> 00:10:24,259 "It is not right for a Muslim person" 207 00:10:24,259 --> 00:10:27,460 means: what is obligatory upon him is none other than this, 208 00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:28,500 and it was also said: 209 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:32,899 what constitutes prudence and precaution for a Muslim is none other than this. 210 00:10:32,899 --> 00:10:36,590 Key lessons from the hadith: 211 00:10:36,590 --> 00:10:38,590 It is derived from the hadith: 212 00:10:38,590 --> 00:10:40,750 Urging the writing of a will. 213 00:10:40,750 --> 00:10:44,590 In it is the validity of relying on written records and handwriting, 214 00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:47,970 even if not accompanied by formal witnessing. 215 00:10:47,970 --> 00:10:52,850 In it is the recommendation to prepare for death and take precautions before it is too late, 216 00:10:52,850 --> 00:10:59,090 because a person does not know when death may overtake him suddenly. 217 00:10:59,090 --> 00:11:01,090 On the authority of 'Amr Ibn al-Harith, 218 00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:04,769 the brother-in-law of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), 219 00:11:04,769 --> 00:11:07,490 the brother of Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), 220 00:11:07,490 --> 00:11:08,690 who said: 221 00:11:08,690 --> 00:11:11,970 "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not leave behind 222 00:11:11,970 --> 00:11:15,409 at his death a single dirham or dinar, 223 00:11:15,409 --> 00:11:19,090 nor a male slave, nor a female slave, nor anything else, 224 00:11:19,090 --> 00:11:22,850 except his white mule, his weapon, 225 00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:25,899 and a piece of land that he designated as charity." 226 00:11:25,899 --> 00:11:30,399 In another narration: "He designated it for the wayfarer." 227 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,549 Commentary on the hadith: 228 00:11:33,549 --> 00:11:34,830 "Brother-in-law" (khatan): 229 00:11:34,830 --> 00:11:37,309 In-laws on the wife's side are called *akhtan*, 230 00:11:37,309 --> 00:11:39,950 while in-laws on the husband's side are called *ahma'*, 231 00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:42,559 and the term *sihr* encompasses both. 232 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,480 "His white mule": 233 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,149 It was gifted to him by the King of Ayla. 234 00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,509 "And his weapon": 235 00:11:48,509 --> 00:11:52,990 meaning his swords, spears, and other instruments of war. 236 00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:58,740 "And a piece of land": this was Fadak in Khaybar and elsewhere. 237 00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:02,240 Key lessons from the hadith: 238 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,159 It is derived from the hadith: 239 00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:08,879 Demonstrating the Prophet's asceticism (peace be upon him) regarding worldly life. 240 00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:15,309 In the hadith is guidance toward the virtue of jihad and its equipment. 241 00:12:15,309 --> 00:12:18,190 On the authority of Talhah Ibn Musarrif, who said: 242 00:12:18,190 --> 00:12:22,509 I asked 'Abdullah Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with them both): 243 00:12:22,590 --> 00:12:26,750 "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) leave a will?" 244 00:12:26,750 --> 00:12:28,590 He said, "No." 245 00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:29,710 I said: 246 00:12:29,710 --> 00:12:32,350 "How then was making a will prescribed for the people, 247 00:12:32,350 --> 00:12:34,830 or how were they commanded to make a will?" 248 00:12:34,830 --> 00:12:35,870 He said: 249 00:12:35,870 --> 00:12:39,009 "He enjoined adherence to the Book of Allah." 250 00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:42,419 Commentary on the hadith: 251 00:12:42,419 --> 00:12:43,460 "Prescribed" (*kutiba*): 252 00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:45,330 meaning commanded. 253 00:12:45,330 --> 00:12:48,929 Key lessons from the hadith: 254 00:12:48,929 --> 00:12:53,169 In the hadith is an indication of giving precedence to religion over wealth. 255 00:12:53,169 --> 00:12:56,610 In it is that the command to write a will denotes recommendation, 256 00:12:56,610 --> 00:13:00,929 though it has also been said to denote obligation. 257 00:13:00,929 --> 00:13:03,009 On the authority of al-Aswad, who said: 258 00:13:03,009 --> 00:13:09,330 It was mentioned before 'A'ishah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had appointed 'Ali in his will, 259 00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:10,450 so she said: 260 00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:12,049 "Who said that? 261 00:13:12,049 --> 00:13:15,570 I certainly saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 262 00:13:15,570 --> 00:13:18,769 while he was resting against my chest, 263 00:13:18,769 --> 00:13:20,529 and he called for a basin, 264 00:13:20,529 --> 00:13:22,690 then he collapsed and died, 265 00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:24,529 without me even realizing it; 266 00:13:24,529 --> 00:13:27,970 how then could he have appointed 'Ali in a will?" 267 00:13:27,970 --> 00:13:31,149 Commentary on the hadith: 268 00:13:31,149 --> 00:13:32,990 "Appointed 'Ali in his will": 269 00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:34,190 what is meant 270 00:13:34,190 --> 00:13:36,590 is appointing him to the Caliphate. 271 00:13:36,590 --> 00:13:37,950 "A basin" (*al-tast*): 272 00:13:37,950 --> 00:13:39,870 a basin resembles a pot, 273 00:13:39,870 --> 00:13:42,980 made of brass or stone. 274 00:13:42,980 --> 00:13:44,220 "Then he collapsed" (*fa-inkhanatha*): 275 00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:47,460 meaning he slumped and tilted to one side 276 00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:51,549 due to the relaxation of his limbs at death. 277 00:13:51,549 --> 00:13:55,090 Key lessons from the hadith: 278 00:13:55,169 --> 00:13:59,009 The hadith indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 279 00:13:59,009 --> 00:14:01,809 did not bequeath the Caliphate to anyone. 280 00:14:01,809 --> 00:14:08,850 In it is a clarification of the virtue of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and her deep understanding of fiqh. 281 00:14:08,850 --> 00:14:12,179 Chapter: Bequeathing One-Third 282 00:14:12,179 --> 00:14:15,860 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 283 00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:18,740 "If only people would reduce [their bequest] to one-fourth, 284 00:14:18,740 --> 00:14:22,980 because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 285 00:14:22,980 --> 00:14:24,179 'One-third, 286 00:14:24,179 --> 00:14:26,100 and one-third is much.'" 287 00:14:27,059 --> 00:14:30,340 Commentary on the hadith: 288 00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:32,399 "If only they would reduce" (*law ghaddu*): 289 00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:36,159 meaning if only they would decrease their bequest somewhat below one-third. 290 00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:39,340 Key lessons from the hadith: 291 00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:42,190 It is derived from the hadith: 292 00:14:42,190 --> 00:14:46,669 The scholars have reached consensus that bequeathing one-third is permissible. 293 00:14:46,669 --> 00:14:50,669 In it is guidance to reduce the bequest below one-third 294 00:14:50,669 --> 00:14:52,429 for the benefit of the heirs. 295 00:14:52,429 --> 00:14:57,940 In the hadith is an indication to take into account the situation of the heirs when making a bequest, 296 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:03,500 for leaving them self-sufficient through inheritance is preferable. 297 00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:07,340 Chapter: No Bequest for an Heir 298 00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:11,019 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 299 00:15:11,019 --> 00:15:13,179 "Wealth used to belong to the child, 300 00:15:13,179 --> 00:15:16,299 and bequests were for the parents; 301 00:15:16,299 --> 00:15:19,580 then Allah abrogated from that whatever He willed: 302 00:15:19,580 --> 00:15:23,340 He designated for the male a share equal to that of two females, 303 00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:28,460 and He designated for each parent one-sixth or one-third, 304 00:15:28,539 --> 00:15:31,659 and He designated for the wife one-eighth or one-fourth, 305 00:15:31,659 --> 00:15:35,200 and for the husband one-half or one-fourth." 306 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,539 Commentary on the hadith: 307 00:15:38,539 --> 00:15:40,059 "Wealth used to belong": 308 00:15:40,059 --> 00:15:43,340 meaning the wealth of a deceased person. 309 00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:44,940 "Then Allah abrogated": 310 00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:47,740 meaning He replaced one ruling with another. 311 00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:53,059 The Noble Qur'an explicitly stipulated the primary heirs (*ashab al-furud*) and their respective conditions. 312 00:15:53,059 --> 00:15:56,419 "He designated for the male a share equal to that of two females": 313 00:15:56,419 --> 00:15:58,899 meaning among the children. 314 00:15:58,899 --> 00:16:02,429 Key lessons from the hadith: 315 00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:04,429 It is derived from the hadith: 316 00:16:04,429 --> 00:16:08,350 The possibility of abrogation in the legislation of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. 317 00:16:08,350 --> 00:16:13,230 In it is that the amount of inheritance is determined either by prescribed shares (*fard*) or by universal succession (*ta'sib*). 318 00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:16,509 Chapter: 319 00:16:16,509 --> 00:16:20,110 Are Women and Children Included Among Relatives? 320 00:16:20,110 --> 00:16:24,429 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 321 00:16:24,429 --> 00:16:27,789 The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up 322 00:16:27,789 --> 00:16:30,269 when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed: 323 00:16:30,429 --> 00:16:33,950 "And warn your closest kin," 324 00:16:33,950 --> 00:16:35,070 and said: 325 00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:37,070 "O people of Quraysh!" 326 00:16:37,070 --> 00:16:39,649 or words to that effect. 327 00:16:39,649 --> 00:16:41,009 In another narration: 328 00:16:41,009 --> 00:16:43,250 "O Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib! 329 00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:46,299 Ransom yourselves from Allah! 330 00:16:46,299 --> 00:16:48,379 Ransom yourselves! 331 00:16:48,379 --> 00:16:52,059 I cannot avail you anything against Allah. 332 00:16:52,059 --> 00:16:54,139 O Banu 'Abd Manaf! 333 00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:57,659 I cannot avail you anything against Allah. 334 00:16:57,659 --> 00:17:00,379 O 'Abbas Ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib! 335 00:17:00,379 --> 00:17:03,980 I cannot avail you anything against Allah. 336 00:17:03,980 --> 00:17:07,019 O Safiyyah, aunt of the Messenger of Allah! 337 00:17:07,019 --> 00:17:10,380 I cannot avail you anything against Allah. 338 00:17:10,380 --> 00:17:13,259 O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad!" 339 00:17:13,259 --> 00:17:14,700 In another narration: 340 00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,049 "Ransom yourselves from Allah! 341 00:17:18,049 --> 00:17:20,930 Ask me whatever you wish from my wealth, 342 00:17:20,930 --> 00:17:25,380 but I cannot avail you anything against Allah." 343 00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:28,690 Commentary on the hadith: 344 00:17:28,769 --> 00:17:32,049 "And warn your closest kin": 345 00:17:32,049 --> 00:17:34,849 meaning those who are closest to you among people, 346 00:17:34,849 --> 00:17:38,910 and the most entitled to your religious and worldly benevolence. 347 00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:40,910 "Ransom yourselves": 348 00:17:40,910 --> 00:17:42,109 what is meant 349 00:17:42,109 --> 00:17:45,150 is: save yourselves from the Fire. 350 00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:48,269 "I cannot avail you anything against Allah": 351 00:17:48,269 --> 00:17:54,910 meaning my kinship will not benefit you if you disbelieve and oppose what I have brought to you. 352 00:17:54,910 --> 00:17:58,700 Key lessons from the hadith: 353 00:17:58,859 --> 00:18:02,940 In the hadith is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) reaching 354 00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:05,700 the utmost limit in conveying the message. 355 00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:10,900 In it is the wisdom of beginning the call with close kin, 356 00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:15,700 because they are the most knowledgeable of a person's inner self and secrets, 357 00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,980 and they are the most observant of his private affairs; 358 00:18:18,980 --> 00:18:24,819 thus, he cannot command his close family to do something while going against it with others, 359 00:18:24,819 --> 00:18:28,130 and then convey it to the rest of the people after them. 360 00:18:28,130 --> 00:18:32,450 In it is the permissibility of reconciling the heart of a Muslim or others through wealth, 361 00:18:32,450 --> 00:18:35,250 and in the case of a disbeliever it is even more emphasized. 362 00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:41,339 In the hadith is giving importance to the upbringing of children. 363 00:18:41,339 --> 00:18:43,259 Chapter: If one says, 364 00:18:43,259 --> 00:18:47,740 "My land or my garden is a charity for Allah on behalf of my mother," 365 00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:49,339 it is permissible, 366 00:18:49,339 --> 00:18:53,119 even if he does not specify the beneficiaries. 367 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,799 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas: 368 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:59,839 That Sa'd Ibn 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), of the Banu Sa'idah, 369 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:03,519 had his mother pass away while he was absent from her, 370 00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:07,599 so he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: 371 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:09,440 "O Messenger of Allah, 372 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,599 my mother has passed away while I was absent from her; 373 00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:18,000 will it benefit her if I give something in charity on her behalf?" 374 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:18,880 He said:
