Riyad al-Salihin

2
00:00:03,779 --> 00:00:06,780
From the words of the Master of the Messengers

3
00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:09,779
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him

4
00:00:09,779 --> 00:00:17,390
Chapter: Miscellaneous and Rare Narrations

5
00:00:17,390 --> 00:00:20,390
On the authority of Rib'i Ibn Hirash, who said:

6
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:23,390
I set out with Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari

7
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:26,390
to Hudhayfah Ibn al-Yaman, may Allah be pleased with them both.

8
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:29,390
Abu Mas'ud said to him,

9
00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:32,390
"Relate to me what you heard from the Messenger of Allah,

10
00:00:32,390 --> 00:00:35,390
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, regarding the Dajjal."

11
00:00:35,390 --> 00:00:38,460
He said, "The Dajjal

12
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:41,460
will emerge, and with him will be water

13
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:44,460
and fire. As for that which the people

14
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:47,460
see as water, it is fire that burns;

15
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:50,460
and as for that which the people see as

16
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:53,460
fire, it is cool, sweet

17
00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:56,549
water. So whoever among you encounters him,

18
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:59,549
let him fall into that which he sees as fire,

19
00:00:59,549 --> 00:01:02,549
for it is sweet, pleasant water."

20
00:01:02,549 --> 00:01:05,810
Abu Mas'ud said,

21
00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:09,099
"I, too, heard it from him."

22
00:01:09,099 --> 00:01:12,989
Agreed upon.

23
00:01:12,989 --> 00:01:16,180
From the benefits of the hadith:

24
00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:19,659
The gravity of the trial of the Dajjal,

25
00:01:19,659 --> 00:01:22,659
so that the people of faith may be wary of him.

26
00:01:22,659 --> 00:01:26,269
The Dajjal is granted supernatural feats

27
00:01:26,269 --> 00:01:29,269
such as are not granted to anyone else.

28
00:01:30,269 --> 00:01:33,269
By their nature, people dislike fire

29
00:01:33,269 --> 00:01:36,269
and love sweet water,

30
00:01:36,269 --> 00:01:39,750
yet he possesses both of these types.

31
00:01:39,750 --> 00:01:42,750
The Dajjal’s water is fire,

32
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:45,750
and his fire is sweet water.

33
00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:48,750
He possesses only the outward appearance,

34
00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:52,230
but in reality, it is the opposite.

35
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:55,230
It is incumbent upon whoever encounters

36
00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:58,230
the trial of the Dajjal to look beyond that,

37
00:01:58,230 --> 00:02:01,230
for it is sweet, pleasant water.

38
00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:05,379
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Amr Ibn al-'As,

39
00:02:05,379 --> 00:02:08,379
may Allah be pleased with them both, he said:

40
00:02:08,379 --> 00:02:11,379
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

41
00:02:11,379 --> 00:02:14,610
"The Dajjal will emerge in my Ummah,

42
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:17,610
and he will remain for forty—

43
00:02:17,610 --> 00:02:20,610
I do not know if it is forty days,

44
00:02:20,610 --> 00:02:23,610
or forty months, or forty years.

45
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,639
Then Allah the Exalted will send 'Isa Ibn Maryam,

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,639
peace be upon him,

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,639
and he will pursue him and destroy him.

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,639
Then the people will remain for seven years,

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,639
with no enmity between any two people.

50
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,639
Then Allah the Almighty will send

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,639
a cold wind from the direction of al-Sham,

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,639
and there will not remain on the face of the earth anyone

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,639
in whose heart is a mustard seed's weight of goodness

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,699
or faith, but it will be taken,

55
00:02:55,699 --> 00:02:58,699
for it will enter into them until it takes them.

56
00:02:58,699 --> 00:03:01,860
Then the most wicked of people will remain, as light as birds

57
00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:04,860
and with the minds of beasts,

58
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:07,860
not recognizing good nor denouncing evil.

59
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:10,860
Then the Shaytan will appear to them

60
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:13,860
and say, 'Will you not respond?'

61
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,860
They will say, 'What do you command us?'

62
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:19,860
He will command them to worship idols,

63
00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:22,860
while they are in that state, living

64
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:25,860
in prosperity and a good life.

65
00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:28,860
Then the Trumpet will be blown,

66
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:31,860
and no one will hear it but he will incline his neck to one side

67
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:34,860
and raise the other.

68
00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:37,860
The first to hear it will be a man tending to his camel's trough,

69
00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:40,860
and he will be struck down, as will the people around him.

70
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:43,960
Then Allah will send—

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,960
or he said: Allah will send down rain—

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,960
like dew or shade,

73
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960
and from it, the bodies of the people will grow.

74
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960
Then it will be blown into again,

75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960
“And the trumpet is blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth swoon away, save him whom Allah willeth. Then it is blown a second time, and behold them standing waiting!” (39:68)

76
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,960
and it will be said, 'O people,

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960
come to your Lord.'

78
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,960
﴾And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned.﴿

79
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,960
Then it will be said, 'Bring forth the contingent for the Fire.'

80
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,960
It will be asked, 'From how many?'

81
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,959
It will be said,

82
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,959
'From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine.'

83
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,959
That is a day

84
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:25,959
that will make children gray-haired,

85
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:28,959
and that is a day when the shin will be uncovered."

86
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:33,529
Narrated by Muslim.

87
00:04:33,529 --> 00:04:36,529
The *layt* is the side of the neck.

88
00:04:36,529 --> 00:04:39,529
The meaning of "he puts the side of his neck"

89
00:04:39,529 --> 00:04:42,850
is that he raises his other side.

90
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:45,850
"The most wicked of people will remain, as light as birds,"

91
00:04:45,850 --> 00:04:48,850
"with the minds of beasts,"

92
00:04:48,850 --> 00:04:51,850
means they will be swift toward evil,

93
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:54,850
fulfilling desires and corruption,

94
00:04:54,850 --> 00:04:57,850
like the flight of birds,

95
00:04:57,850 --> 00:05:01,420
and in aggression and oppressing one another,

96
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:04,420
they will have the character of predatory beasts.

97
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:07,709
"Living in prosperity"

98
00:05:07,709 --> 00:05:10,899
means they will benefit from it.

99
00:05:10,899 --> 00:05:13,970
"Tending to his camel's trough."

100
00:05:13,970 --> 00:05:16,970
"Dew" means like the semen of men.

101
00:05:16,970 --> 00:05:20,189
"Bring forth the contingent for the Fire"

102
00:05:20,189 --> 00:05:23,480
means its people who are sent to it.

103
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,480
"And that is a day when the shin will be uncovered"

104
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,480
means the shin of the Lord, Blessed and Exalted be He,

105
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,480
as it is in the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri,

106
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,480
may Allah be pleased with him, in the two Sahihs.

107
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,439
From the benefits of the hadith:

108
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:42,860
Specifying the duration of the Dajjal's stay on earth,

109
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:45,860
and that he will remain for forty days.

110
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:48,889
The narrator's statement, "I do not know if it is forty

111
00:05:48,889 --> 00:05:51,889
days, or forty months,

112
00:05:51,889 --> 00:05:54,889
or forty years," does not cause harm,

113
00:05:54,889 --> 00:05:57,889
for the aforementioned hadith of Nawwas Ibn Sam'an

114
00:05:57,889 --> 00:06:00,889
specified that

115
00:06:00,889 --> 00:06:04,430
and clarified that he will remain for forty days.

116
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:07,430
Confirmation of the descent of 'Isa, peace be upon him,

117
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:10,430
and that he will kill the Dajjal at the Gate of Ludd.

118
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:14,879
There is no contradiction between the descent of 'Isa, peace be upon him,

119
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,879
and the fact that Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

120
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:20,879
is the Seal of the Prophets,

121
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:23,879
because 'Isa, peace be upon him,

122
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,879
will not descend with a new law

123
00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:29,879
that abrogates the law of Islam;

124
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:32,879
rather, he will descend as a follower of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

125
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:35,879
and will rule by his law, the Book and the Sunnah,

126
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:38,879
and will revive matters of the law.

127
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:43,329
Islam and the Sunnah remove hatred, malice,

128
00:06:43,329 --> 00:06:46,329
and resentment from the hearts of their followers.

129
00:06:46,329 --> 00:06:49,329
That is why the people will remain

130
00:06:49,329 --> 00:06:52,329
for seven years with no enmity between any two people.

131
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:55,709
The people of faith will be taken

132
00:06:55,709 --> 00:06:59,189
before the Hour is established.

133
00:06:59,189 --> 00:07:02,189
The Hour will not be established except upon the most wicked of creation,

134
00:07:02,189 --> 00:07:05,189
who are distinguished by their love of immorality

135
00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:08,189
and their oppression of one another.

136
00:07:08,189 --> 00:07:11,189
That is why they do not recognize good

137
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:14,670
nor denounce evil.

138
00:07:14,670 --> 00:07:17,670
The Shaytan has the ability to take form

139
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:21,120
in the image of a human.

140
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,120
The goal of the Shaytan regarding man

141
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,120
is that he associates partners with Allah who created him

142
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,500
and worships idols and statues.

143
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:34,019
Everyone who hears the first blast will be struck down.

144
00:07:34,019 --> 00:07:37,019
The second blast will be

145
00:07:38,019 --> 00:07:41,459
the establishment of the Resurrection, the Gathering, and the Reckoning,

146
00:07:41,459 --> 00:07:44,459
and that the servant is responsible for his deeds

147
00:07:44,459 --> 00:07:48,040
in this world.

148
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,040
Affirmation of the attribute of the "Shin" for the Lord of the Worlds,

149
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,040
but we mention the words of the Exalted:

150
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,040
﴾There is nothing like unto Him,﴿

151
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,040
﴾and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.﴿

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,319
So that we neither negate nor anthropomorphize.

153
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,319
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

154
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,319
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

155
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:13,319
"There is no land but the Dajjal will tread upon it,

156
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,319
except Makkah and Madinah;

157
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:19,420
and there is no mountain pass of its passes

158
00:08:19,420 --> 00:08:22,420
but there will be angels in rows

159
00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:25,449
guarding them."

160
00:08:25,449 --> 00:08:28,449
He will descend at the salt marsh,

161
00:08:28,449 --> 00:08:31,449
and Madinah will shake three times,

162
00:08:31,449 --> 00:08:34,450
and Allah will expel from it every disbeliever and hypocrite.

163
00:08:35,580 --> 00:08:39,379
Narrated by Muslim.

164
00:08:39,379 --> 00:08:42,570
*Naqb* means a gap or pass.

165
00:08:42,570 --> 00:08:45,570
The *sabkhah* is land containing salt and minerals,

166
00:08:45,570 --> 00:08:48,570
which does not grow vegetation, and this location

167
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:51,570
is outside Madinah, away from the heat.

168
00:08:51,570 --> 00:08:55,720
From the benefits of the hadith:

169
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,720
The trial of the Dajjal will fill the earth,

170
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,720
and its people will be tested by that,

171
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,230
except Makkah and Madinah.

172
00:09:05,230 --> 00:09:08,230
Makkah and Madinah are guarded,

173
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:11,809
and they prevent the Dajjal from entering them.

174
00:09:11,809 --> 00:09:14,809
Madinah expels its filth,

175
00:09:14,809 --> 00:09:17,809
just as the bellows removes the dross of iron.

176
00:09:17,809 --> 00:09:20,809
That is why it shakes three times,

177
00:09:20,809 --> 00:09:23,809
to cast out for the Dajjal every hypocritical renegade

178
00:09:23,809 --> 00:09:26,809
and defiant disbeliever,

179
00:09:26,809 --> 00:09:31,179
so that they may join him,

180
00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:34,179
and faith will remain within it.

181
00:09:34,179 --> 00:09:37,179
The statement of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

182
00:09:37,179 --> 00:09:40,279
"The Dajjal will be followed by the Jews of Isfahan,

183
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:43,279
seventy thousand,

184
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,409
wearing the *tayalisa* (shawls)."

185
00:09:46,409 --> 00:09:50,049
Narrated by Muslim.

186
00:09:50,049 --> 00:09:53,049
*Tayalisa* is the plural of *taylasan*,

187
00:09:53,049 --> 00:09:56,049
which is a garment worn over the shoulder,

188
00:09:56,049 --> 00:09:59,049
surrounding the body, woven for wearing,

189
00:09:59,049 --> 00:10:03,070
free from tailoring or stitching.

190
00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:06,330
From the benefits of the hadith:

191
00:10:06,330 --> 00:10:09,330
The followers of the Dajjal are from the Jews—may Allah fight them.

192
00:10:09,330 --> 00:10:12,330
In this is a warning regarding their plotting and malice,

193
00:10:12,330 --> 00:10:15,330
and that they strive to destroy the world.

194
00:10:15,330 --> 00:10:18,330
That is why they ride every wave

195
00:10:18,330 --> 00:10:21,330
and exploit every opportunity

196
00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:24,330
to pass their plots and achieve their goals.

197
00:10:24,330 --> 00:10:27,870
The people of innovation, immorality, and corruption

198
00:10:27,870 --> 00:10:30,870
adopt a symbol that distinguishes them from others,

199
00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:33,870
and the symbol of the followers of the Dajjal

200
00:10:33,870 --> 00:10:37,289
Wearing the taylasan (a type of shawl or hooded cloak).

201
00:10:37,289 --> 00:10:40,289
Some scholars have indicated that wearing the taylasan is disliked.

202
00:10:40,289 --> 00:10:44,629
For that reason.

203
00:10:44,629 --> 00:10:47,629
On the authority of Umm Sharik, may Allah be pleased with her,

204
00:10:47,629 --> 00:10:50,629
that she heard the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

205
00:10:50,629 --> 00:10:53,629
say: "People will surely flee

206
00:10:53,629 --> 00:10:56,629
from the Dajjal into the mountains."

207
00:10:56,629 --> 00:11:00,460
Narrated by Muslim.

208
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:03,590
Among the benefits of the hadith:

209
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:06,590
It is necessary to flee and distance oneself from places of tribulation.

210
00:11:06,590 --> 00:11:09,879
It clarifies the magnitude of the tribulation of the Dajjal.

211
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:14,029
And the severity of its evil.

212
00:11:14,029 --> 00:11:17,029
On the authority of 'Imran Ibn Husayn, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

213
00:11:17,029 --> 00:11:20,029
I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

214
00:11:20,029 --> 00:11:23,159
say:

215
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:26,159
"Between the creation of Adam and the establishment of the Hour,

216
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:29,259
there is no matter greater than the Dajjal."

217
00:11:30,259 --> 00:11:34,090
There is no matter greater than the Dajjal.

218
00:11:34,090 --> 00:11:37,090
Meaning, it is the greatest tribulation and the most severe in impact.

219
00:11:37,090 --> 00:11:40,759
Among the benefits of the hadith:

220
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:44,019
The tribulation of the Dajjal is the greatest tribulation

221
00:11:44,019 --> 00:11:47,019
from the creation of mankind until the establishment of the Hour.

222
00:11:47,019 --> 00:11:50,620
None will be saved from its evil

223
00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:53,620
except for the few who encounter it,

224
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:56,620
and they are those whom Allah has protected,

225
00:11:56,620 --> 00:11:59,620
and kept firm upon Islam and the Sunnah.

226
00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:04,360
Riyad al-Salihin, oh Riyad al-Salihin.
