00:00:09.550 --> 00:00:10.849
presents:

00:00:10.849 --> 00:00:15.949
Abridgment of Sahih al-Bukhari.

00:00:15.949 --> 00:00:19.600
Chapter: Bidding Farewell.

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.640
Narrated Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him):

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:29.140
"The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent us on an expedition,

00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:30.640
and said to us:

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.640
'If you find such-and-such person and such-and-such person'—

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.840
referring to two men from Quraysh whom he named—

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.340
'then burn them both with fire.'

00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:40.670
He said:

00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:44.869
Then we came to bid him farewell when we intended to set out,

00:00:44.869 --> 00:00:46.369
whereupon he said:

00:00:46.369 --> 00:00:51.469
'I had previously commanded you to burn such-and-such person and such-and-such person with fire;

00:00:51.670 --> 00:00:55.670
however, none punishes with fire except Allah.

00:00:55.670 --> 00:00:59.170
So if you capture them, execute them instead.'"

00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:02.969
Commentary on the hadith:

00:01:02.969 --> 00:01:04.170
"On an expedition":

00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:05.769
Meaning: in a military detachment.

00:01:05.769 --> 00:01:11.469
The commander of this expedition was Hamzah ibn 'Amr al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:01:11.469 --> 00:01:13.469
"Such-and-such person and such-and-such person":

00:01:13.469 --> 00:01:15.769
These were Habbar ibn al-Aswad

00:01:15.769 --> 00:01:18.469
and Nafi' ibn 'Abd Qays.

00:01:18.469 --> 00:01:19.769
"We bid him farewell":

00:01:19.969 --> 00:01:23.329
This refers to the traveler bidding farewell to the resident.

00:01:23.329 --> 00:01:26.900
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:29.000
From this hadith, it is derived that:

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.099
It is permissible to retract a legal ruling based on scholarly reasoning (ijtihad).

00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:36.299
It is recommended to mention the evidence when issuing a ruling,

00:01:36.299 --> 00:01:38.500
in order to remove ambiguity.

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:42.099
An established Sunnah may be abrogated by another Sunnah.

00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:45.400
A ruling may be abrogated before people become aware of it,

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.299
or before they are able to act upon it.

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.920
It is prescribed for a traveler to bid farewell.

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.730
Chapter: Hearing and Obeying the Leader.

00:01:57.730 --> 00:02:00.530
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father),

00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:04.530
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:09.729
"Hearing and obeying is obligatory upon a Muslim regarding what he likes and dislikes,

00:02:09.729 --> 00:02:12.330
as long as he is not commanded to commit a sin.

00:02:12.330 --> 00:02:17.680
But if he is commanded to commit a sin, there is no hearing and no obeying."

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.800
Commentary on the hadith:

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.800
"Hearing": meaning, complying with the command of the leader.

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.699
"Upon a Muslim":

00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:29.800
Meaning: mandatory upon him in ease and hardship,

00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.389
in willingness and unwillingness.

00:02:32.389 --> 00:02:35.930
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:02:35.930 --> 00:02:40.530
Scholars unanimously agree on the obligation to obey the ruler in non-sinful matters,

00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:43.229
and the prohibition of obeying him in sin.

00:02:43.229 --> 00:02:47.030
The hadith indicates that a person's desires must follow

00:02:47.030 --> 00:02:50.830
that which was brought by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:02:50.830 --> 00:02:56.050
due to his saying: "regarding what he likes and dislikes."

00:02:56.050 --> 00:03:01.180
Chapter: Fighting Behind the Leader and Seeking Protection Through Him.

00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:03.879
Narrated Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him):

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:08.879
He heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say:

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.080
"Whoever obeys me has obeyed Allah,

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.180
and whoever disobeyed me has disobeyed Allah.

00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:18.680
Whoever obeys the leader has obeyed me,

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.180
and whoever disobeyed the leader has disobeyed me.

00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:24.379
The leader is merely a shield

00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:27.979
behind whom fighting is conducted and through whom protection is sought.

00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:30.780
If he commands righteousness toward Allah and acts justly,

00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:33.580
he will have a reward for that;

00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:35.479
but if he says otherwise,

00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.129
the burden of it will fall upon him."

00:03:38.129 --> 00:03:41.580
Commentary on the hadith:

00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:44.479
"The leader is a shield": meaning, a protection,

00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.879
because he prevents the enemy from harming the Muslims,

00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.199
and prevents people from transgressing against one another.

00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.199
"Fighting is conducted behind him":

00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:58.400
Meaning: one fights alongside him against disbelievers, rebels, and all corrupt elements.

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.199
"Protection is sought through him":

00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.400
Meaning: his judgment, wisdom, and leadership are turned to for guidance.

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.199
"If he commands righteousness toward Allah and acts justly":

00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:12.800
Meaning: combining righteous speech with righteous action.

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.599
"But if he says otherwise":

00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.399
Meaning: if he commands other than righteousness toward Allah and justice.

00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.199
"The burden of it will fall upon him":

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.430
Meaning: the evil consequences and sin resulting from that command.

00:04:24.430 --> 00:04:28.029
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:04:28.029 --> 00:04:33.129
The hadith indicates the obligation of appointing a leader for the Muslims.

00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:35.629
It highlights the merit of justice and piety,

00:04:35.629 --> 00:04:41.560
and guides toward combining righteous speech with righteous action.

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.959
Chapter: Taking an Oath of Allegiance in War Not to Flee;

00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.199
and some scholars said: "Unto death."

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.600
From Juwayriyah,

00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.600
from Nafi', who said:

00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.800
Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said:

00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.800
"We returned the following year,

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.800
and no two of us agreed upon the tree under which we had taken the oath of allegiance;

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.459
it was a mercy from Allah."

00:05:06.459 --> 00:05:08.459
I asked Nafi':

00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:12.459
"Upon what did he take their pledge of allegiance? Was it unto death?"

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:13.860
He said: "No,

00:05:13.860 --> 00:05:17.300
rather he took their pledge upon steadfast endurance."

00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:20.639
Commentary on the hadith:

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.439
"The following year":

00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.439
Meaning: the year after the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyyah.

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.439
"No two of us agreed upon the tree":

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.040
Meaning: no two men among us could agree on which specific tree it was,

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.240
that it was the one under which we pledged allegiance;

00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.439
rather, its location remained hidden.

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.509
It was also said that the trees appeared ambiguous to them.

00:05:40.509 --> 00:05:42.709
"It was a mercy from Allah":

00:05:42.709 --> 00:05:46.459
Meaning: so that people would not fall into temptation through it.

00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:50.189
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:05:50.189 --> 00:05:52.189
From this hadith, it is derived that:

00:05:52.189 --> 00:05:55.990
The pledge of allegiance to the leader is obligatory and binding.

00:05:55.990 --> 00:05:58.990
It demonstrates that among the mercies of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)

00:05:58.990 --> 00:06:01.990
is the obscuring of certain landmarks and places

00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:07.769
that some people might mistakenly assume to be sources of special blessing.

00:06:07.769 --> 00:06:10.569
Narrated 'Abbad ibn Tamim:

00:06:10.569 --> 00:06:12.769
On the Day of al-Harrah,

00:06:12.769 --> 00:06:16.569
while the people were pledging allegiance to 'Abdullah ibn Hanzalah,

00:06:16.569 --> 00:06:18.370
Ibn Zayd said:

00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:21.769
"Upon what is Ibn Hanzalah taking the people's pledge of allegiance?"

00:06:22.569 --> 00:06:24.170
They said: "Unto death."

00:06:24.170 --> 00:06:25.370
He said:

00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:27.769
"I will not pledge allegiance to anyone upon that

00:06:27.769 --> 00:06:31.569
after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)."

00:06:31.569 --> 00:06:35.410
He had present with him at al-Hudaybiyyah.

00:06:35.410 --> 00:06:38.759
Commentary on the hadith:

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.360
"The Day of al-Harrah":

00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.160
This was the famous battle that took place in Medina

00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.560
during the reign of Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah,

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.990
in the year 63 AH.

00:06:48.990 --> 00:06:50.189
"Ibn Zayd":

00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:54.139
He is 'Abdullah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:57.870
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:06:57.870 --> 00:07:00.069
From this hadith, it is derived that:

00:07:00.069 --> 00:07:03.470
It is permissible to take a pledge for fighting and steadfastness.

00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:07.069
It illustrates the adherence of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)

00:07:07.069 --> 00:07:11.870
to what they directly witnessed from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:07:11.870 --> 00:07:14.269
The hadith indicates that the Companions

00:07:14.269 --> 00:07:17.470
gave allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

00:07:17.470 --> 00:07:20.069
in certain battles unto death.

00:07:20.269 --> 00:07:21.670
What is meant by this

00:07:21.670 --> 00:07:27.009
is a pledge not to flee, even if they were to die.

00:07:27.009 --> 00:07:29.209
Narrated Yazid ibn Abi 'Ubayd,

00:07:29.209 --> 00:07:32.410
from Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:07:32.410 --> 00:07:36.009
"I pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:07:36.009 --> 00:07:38.810
then I moved aside to the shade of a tree.

00:07:38.810 --> 00:07:40.810
When the crowd thinned out,

00:07:40.810 --> 00:07:41.810
he said:

00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:45.009
'O Ibn al-Akwa', will you not pledge allegiance?'

00:07:45.009 --> 00:07:46.009
He said:

00:07:46.009 --> 00:07:49.209
I said: 'I have already pledged allegiance, O Messenger of Allah!'

00:07:49.209 --> 00:07:50.209
He said:

00:07:51.209 --> 00:07:53.610
'Pledge it a second time.' So I pledged it to him a second time."

00:07:53.610 --> 00:07:55.009
I said to him:

00:07:55.009 --> 00:07:56.810
"O Abu Muslim,

00:07:56.810 --> 00:08:01.009
upon what did you pledge allegiance on that day?"

00:08:01.009 --> 00:08:02.009
He said:

00:08:02.009 --> 00:08:04.389
"Unto death."

00:08:04.389 --> 00:08:08.019
Commentary on the hadith:

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:09.220
"I moved aside":

00:08:09.220 --> 00:08:11.019
Meaning: I stepped away to the shade.

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:12.620
"The crowd thinned out":

00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:16.819
Meaning: the people around the Prophet (peace be upon him) decreased in number.

00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:18.620
"O Abu Muslim":

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:22.680
This is the agnomen (kunyah) of Salamah ibn al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.480
"Upon what did you pledge allegiance on that day?":

00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.079
Meaning: on the Day of the Pledge of Ridwan beneath the tree.

00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.480
"Unto death":

00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.080
Meaning: upon steadfast endurance and firmness until death.

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.679
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.679
From this hadith, it is derived that:

00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.480
It is permissible to repeat and reaffirm the pledge of allegiance.

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.679
It demonstrates the keenness of the Tabi'un

00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.809
regarding the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:08:52.809 --> 00:08:55.009
Narrated Mujashi':

00:08:55.009 --> 00:09:00.009
"I brought my brother to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) after the Conquest of Mecca,

00:09:00.009 --> 00:09:02.210
and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah,

00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:06.009
I have brought my brother to you so that you may accept his pledge upon emigration (Hijrah).'

00:09:06.009 --> 00:09:07.009
He said:

00:09:07.009 --> 00:09:10.409
'The people of emigration have departed with its virtue.'

00:09:10.409 --> 00:09:11.809
In another narration:

00:09:11.809 --> 00:09:14.809
'There is no emigration after the Conquest of Mecca.'

00:09:14.809 --> 00:09:16.409
In another narration:

00:09:16.409 --> 00:09:19.370
'Emigration has passed for those entitled to it.'

00:09:19.370 --> 00:09:20.769
So I asked:

00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:23.570
'Upon what will you accept his pledge?'

00:09:23.570 --> 00:09:24.570
He said:

00:09:24.570 --> 00:09:29.620
'I accept his pledge upon Islam, faith (Iman), and struggle in the cause of Allah (Jihad).'"

00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:32.899
Commentary on the hadith:

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:36.899
"I brought my brother to the Prophet (peace be upon him)":

00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:41.460
His brother's name was Mujalid ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:43.460
"The people of emigration have departed":

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:46.460
Refers to those who emigrated prior to the Conquest.

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:50.059
"Islam": referring to outward religious observances;

00:09:50.059 --> 00:09:54.120
"Faith": referring to inward religious observances.

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.779
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:09:57.779 --> 00:09:59.980
From this hadith, it is derived that:

00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:04.580
It shows the relative virtue of the Companions and their precedence in Islam.

00:10:04.580 --> 00:10:12.529
The hadith indicates that Jihad remains ongoing until the Day of Resurrection.

00:10:12.529 --> 00:10:17.730

00:10:17.730 --> 00:10:21.129
Narrated 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him):

00:10:21.129 --> 00:10:23.330
"A man came to me today

00:10:23.330 --> 00:10:27.529
and asked me about a matter, and I did not know how to respond to him.

00:10:27.529 --> 00:10:28.929
He said:

00:10:28.929 --> 00:10:32.330
'What do you think of a man who is well-equipped and energetic,

00:10:32.330 --> 00:10:35.529
who goes out with our commanders on military expeditions,

00:10:35.529 --> 00:10:39.730
and they impose strictly upon us things we cannot count?'

00:10:39.730 --> 00:10:41.330
So I said to him:

00:10:41.330 --> 00:10:44.330
'By Allah, I do not know what to tell you,

00:10:44.330 --> 00:10:48.929
except that we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:10:48.929 --> 00:10:51.929
and perhaps he would not strictly impose a command upon us

00:10:51.929 --> 00:10:55.129
more than once until we had carried it out.

00:10:55.129 --> 00:10:59.529
Indeed, any of you will remain upon good as long as he fears Allah,

00:10:59.529 --> 00:11:02.129
and if he has a doubt in his heart about something,

00:11:02.129 --> 00:11:04.929
he asks a man who satisfies him regarding it.

00:11:04.929 --> 00:11:07.529
Yet it is near that you will not find such a person!

00:11:07.529 --> 00:11:10.330
By Him besides Whom there is no deity,

00:11:10.330 --> 00:11:13.129
I do not recall what remains of this worldly life

00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:18.370
except as a small pool of water whose clear portion has been drunk and only its turbid sediment remains.'"

00:11:18.370 --> 00:11:21.779
Commentary on the hadith:

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:24.580
"What do you think?"—that is, "Tell me."

00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:29.179
"Well-equipped"—meaning possessing complete military gear.

00:11:29.179 --> 00:11:31.980
"Energetic"—derived from energy and enthusiasm.

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:33.779
"They impose strictly upon us"—

00:11:33.779 --> 00:11:37.779
meaning they command us with decisive authority, leaving no room for hesitation.

00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:41.379
"We cannot count them"—meaning we cannot bear or tolerate them.

00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:43.580
"A doubt in his heart about something"—

00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:48.179
meaning hesitation as to whether an action is permissible or impermissible.

00:11:48.179 --> 00:11:49.779
"Satisfies him regarding it"—

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:52.179
meaning he removes the ailment of hesitation from him

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:54.679
and answers him with the truth.

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.879
"It is near that you will not find such a person"—

00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.279
meaning that soon you will hardly find anyone in this world who gives verdicts according to the truth

00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.679
and cures hearts of doubts and uncertainties.

00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:05.879
"What remains"—

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.480
meaning what is left.

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.480
It is also said to mean "what has passed,"

00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.279
for the root *gh-b-r* is among the words with opposite meanings (*aḍdād*).

00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.480
"Like a small pool"—

00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.740
meaning like the remnant of sweet water left in a depression in the ground.

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:18.539
"And its turbid sediment remains"—

00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:22.080
meaning that only the unclarified water is left behind.

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.809
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:12:25.809 --> 00:12:32.210
This hadith indicates the strict obligation upon people to obey the ruler and those he appoints.

00:12:32.210 --> 00:12:36.809
It contains guidance toward adhering to piety (*taqwa*) in all matters.

00:12:36.809 --> 00:12:40.409
It demonstrates the gentle nature of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:12:40.409 --> 00:12:44.210
and his mercy toward his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).

00:12:44.210 --> 00:12:47.610
It highlights the necessity of turning to firmly grounded scholars

00:12:47.610 --> 00:12:51.409
to dispel the doubts that enter people's minds.

00:12:51.409 --> 00:12:58.620
It illustrates the use of parables to clarify statements and make complex issues easy to understand.

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:04.590
Chapter: What Has Been Said Regarding the Flag of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:13:04.590 --> 00:13:07.789
On the authority of Tha'labah ibn Abi Malik al-Qurazi:

00:13:07.789 --> 00:13:11.789
Qays ibn Sa'd al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)—

00:13:11.990 --> 00:13:16.990
who was the bearer of the flag of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)—

00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:20.399
intended to perform Hajj, so he combed his hair.

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.879
Commentary on the hadith:

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:25.480
"Bearer of the flag":

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:26.679
The flag (*al-liwā’*)

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.679
is the banner and standard.

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.480
It is a cloth attached to the tip of a spear,

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.240
left in a manner that allows the wind to flutter it.

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:36.440
"So he combed his hair"—

00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.240
meaning he groomed and untangled his hair with a comb.

00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.879
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.879
Derived from the hadith is:

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.279
The prescription to comb and clean one's hair when embarking on Hajj.

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.480
The hadith points to the authoritative nature of a Companion's action

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:59.289
in matters that cannot be arrived at through personal opinion alone.

00:13:59.289 --> 00:14:03.289
On the authority of Salamah ibn al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:14:03.289 --> 00:14:05.490
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)

00:14:05.490 --> 00:14:10.090
stayed behind from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at Khaybar,

00:14:10.090 --> 00:14:12.090
as he was suffering from ophthalmia (a severe eye infection).

00:14:12.090 --> 00:14:13.490
He said to himself:

00:14:13.490 --> 00:14:17.889
"Shall I stay behind and remain absent from the Messenger of Allah?"

00:14:17.889 --> 00:14:23.090
So 'Ali set out and caught up with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

00:14:23.090 --> 00:14:28.289
On the evening of the night preceding the morning of the conquest,

00:14:28.289 --> 00:14:32.090
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:14:32.090 --> 00:14:34.289
"I will surely give the banner—"

00:14:34.289 --> 00:14:35.690
or he said:

00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:39.889
"Tomorrow a man will surely take it whom Allah and His Messenger love,"

00:14:40.090 --> 00:14:41.289
or he said:

00:14:41.289 --> 00:14:43.889
"who loves Allah and His Messenger,

00:14:43.889 --> 00:14:46.090
and Allah will grant victory through his hands."

00:14:46.090 --> 00:14:49.490
Suddenly, 'Ali arrived among us, though we had not expected him,

00:14:49.490 --> 00:14:50.690
and someone said:

00:14:50.690 --> 00:14:52.490
"This is 'Ali!"

00:14:52.490 --> 00:14:56.490
So the Messenger of Allah handed him the banner,

00:14:56.490 --> 00:14:59.440
and Allah granted victory through his hands.

00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.840
Commentary on the hadith:

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.440
"Ophthalmia" (*ramad*) is an eye disease.

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:07.840
"Though we had not expected him"—

00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.440
meaning we were not hoping for his arrival at that particular time

00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.090
due to the severe eye condition he had.

00:15:14.090 --> 00:15:17.820
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:20.419
The hadith is one of the signs of prophethood,

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:22.820
as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) foretold

00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:26.820
that Allah would grant victory through the hands of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:28.820
and it transpired exactly as spoken.

00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:33.419
It highlights the virtue and merit of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:15:33.419 --> 00:15:38.850
It indicates the obligation of loving Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

00:15:38.850 --> 00:15:44.480
The hadith points to the principle that the night precedes its day in Islamic timekeeping.

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:49.279
It shows the eagerness of the Companions to perform righteous deeds

00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:54.919
and their determination to act upon resolve even when possessing a valid excuse.

00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.720
On the authority of Nafi' ibn Jubayr, who said:

00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:02.320
I heard al-'Abbas saying to al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both):

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:08.799
"Here is where the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded you to plant the banner."

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.980
Commentary on the hadith:

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:16.990
"To plant the banner" means to fix it firmly into the ground.

00:16:16.990 --> 00:16:20.620
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:27.220
Derived from the hadith is that the banner is neither raised nor planted except with the permission of the leader,

00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:29.620
because it represents authority delegated by him.

00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:36.600
The hadith points to the obligation of obeying the commander of the army.

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.399
Chapter: The Saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "I Have Been Granted Victory through Dread over the Distance of a Month's Journey"

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.279
"I have been granted victory through dread over the distance of a month's journey."

00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.279
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.480
that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:54.309
"I have been sent with concise speech of comprehensive meaning (*jawāmi‘ al-kalim*)."

00:16:54.309 --> 00:16:55.909
In another narration:

00:16:55.909 --> 00:16:58.710
"I have been given the keys to speech,

00:16:58.710 --> 00:17:01.110
and I have been granted victory through dread.

00:17:01.110 --> 00:17:03.309
While I was sleeping,

00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:06.509
I was brought the keys to the treasures of the earth,

00:17:06.509 --> 00:17:09.039
and they were placed in my hand."

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.839
Abu Hurayrah said:

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.440
"The Messenger of Allah has passed away,

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.559
and now you are extracting and consuming those treasures."

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:18.960
In another narration:

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:20.960
"You are transferring them."

00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.559
And in another narration:

00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.160
"You are deriving benefit and sustenance from them,"

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.160
or a similar phrasing.

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.480
or a word resembling it.

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.819
Commentary on the hadith:

00:17:32.819 --> 00:17:34.420
"A month's journey"—

00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:36.619
meaning a distance that takes a month to travel.

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.619
"I have been sent"—

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:39.220
meaning dispatched as a messenger.

00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:41.019
"Concise speech of comprehensive meaning"—

00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:43.619
refers to words that are brief in phrasing

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:46.220
yet expansive in meaning.

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:47.220
"Through dread"—

00:17:47.220 --> 00:17:49.619
meaning through intense fear cast into the hearts of enemies.

00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:52.819
"I was brought the keys to the treasures of the earth"—

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:58.019
it potentially refers to what Allah granted as conquests to his Ummah after him, allowing them to gain spoils

00:17:58.019 --> 00:18:01.650
and appropriate the stored treasuries of kings.

00:18:01.650 --> 00:18:03.450
"Extracting them"—

00:18:03.450 --> 00:18:07.339
meaning digging them out and retrieving them from their places.

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:10.880
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:12.880
Derived from the hadith is:

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.279
That the dreams of Prophets are absolute truth,

00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.079
and they constitute a form of divine revelation (*waḥy*).

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.680
The hadith is among the proofs of prophethood,

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:25.079
as the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) indeed acquired those treasures.

00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:28.279
It shows that among the exclusive characteristics of this Ummah

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:34.170
is that it strikes fear in the hearts of enemies even without direct fighting.

00:18:34.170 --> 00:18:37.519
Chapter: Carrying Provisions on Military Expeditions

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.720
On the authority of Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:46.119
"I prepared the travel provisions for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the house of Abu Bakr

00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.519
when he intended to migrate to Madinah."

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.720
She continued:

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:55.950
"We could not find anything to tie his provision bag or his water-skin with,

00:18:55.950 --> 00:18:57.950
so I said to Abu Bakr:

00:18:57.950 --> 00:19:02.750
'By Allah, I find nothing to tie them with except my waist-belt (*niṭāq*).'

00:19:02.750 --> 00:19:03.750
He said:

00:19:03.750 --> 00:19:05.750
'Tear it into two halves,

00:19:05.750 --> 00:19:08.549
tie the water-skin with one piece,

00:19:08.549 --> 00:19:10.750
and tie the provision bag with the other.'

00:19:10.750 --> 00:19:12.150
So I did so,

00:19:12.150 --> 00:19:16.880
and for that reason I was named *Dhāt al-Niṭāqayn* (She of the Two Waist-Belts)."

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.099
Commentary on the hadith:

00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:21.299
"The travel provision bag" (*al-sufrah*):

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:24.900
*Al-Sufrah* is food prepared for a traveler,

00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:27.900
and the term is also applied to the circular leather container or pouch in which food is carried.

00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:30.730
whether made of leather or otherwise.

00:19:30.730 --> 00:19:32.730
"Nor for his water-skin":

00:19:32.730 --> 00:19:36.490
*Al-Siqā’* is a water vessel made of leather.

00:19:36.490 --> 00:19:37.890
"My waist-belt" (*niṭāqī*):

00:19:37.890 --> 00:19:39.089
*Al-Niṭāq*

00:19:39.089 --> 00:19:42.250
is a cloth or belt that a woman ties around her waist.

00:19:42.250 --> 00:19:46.119
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.119
Derived from the hadith is:

00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.119
Carrying provisions while traveling and adopting practical means

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.119
do not contradict reliance upon Allah (*tawakkul*).

00:19:53.119 --> 00:20:00.680
The hadith highlights the virtue and resourceful intelligence of Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her).

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.680
Chapter: Riding Tandem on Military Expeditions and During Hajj

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.200
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.200
"I was riding behind Abu Talhah

00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.200
while the people were raising their voices in the *talbiyah* for both

00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.200
Hajj and 'Umrah together."

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.160
Commentary on the hadith:

00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.160
"Riding behind"—meaning sitting behind another rider on the mount.

00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.440
"Raising their voices"—meaning shouting aloud the *talbiyah*.

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:31.309
Key benefits of the hadith:

00:20:31.309 --> 00:20:33.309
Derived from the hadith is:

00:20:33.309 --> 00:20:36.309
The prescription to raise one's voice when reciting the *talbiyah*.

00:20:36.309 --> 00:20:40.309
Combining Hajj and 'Umrah within a single journey.

00:20:40.309 --> 00:20:44.309
The permissibility of two people riding tandem on a mount and placing a load on it,

00:20:44.309 --> 00:20:47.309
provided it lies within its capacity and causes it no harm.

00:20:47.309 --> 00:20:51.750
Chapter: Riding Tandem on a Donkey

00:20:51.750 --> 00:20:55.230
On the authority of Usamah ibn Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both):

00:20:55.230 --> 00:20:58.230
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:20:58.230 --> 00:21:02.230
rode a donkey with a velvet Fadaki saddlecloth upon it;

00:21:02.230 --> 00:21:04.259
and in a narration:

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:07.259
upon a pack-saddle over which was a velvet blanket,

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:10.259
and he seated Usamah ibn Zaid behind him,

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:14.259
to visit Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah in the dwellings of Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:16.259
before the Battle of Badr.

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:17.259
He said:

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:22.259
Until he passed by a gathering in which was 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul—

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:26.259
and that was before 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy accepted Islam.

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:31.259
In the gathering, there was a mixed crowd of Muslims, idolaters,

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:34.259
Jews, and Muslims.

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:37.259
In that gathering was also 'Abdullah ibn Rawahah.

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:42.259
When the cloud of dust raised by the beast covered the gathering,

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:46.259
'Abdullah ibn Ubayy covered his nose with his cloak,

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:47.259
then he said:

00:21:47.259 --> 00:21:50.259
"Do not raise dust upon us!"

00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:54.259
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) greeted them with peace,

00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:56.259
then stopped and dismounted.

00:21:56.259 --> 00:21:58.259
He invited them to Allah

00:21:58.259 --> 00:22:01.259
and recited the Qur'an to them.

00:22:01.259 --> 00:22:04.259
Thereupon, 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul said:

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:06.259
"O man!

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:09.259
Indeed, there is nothing better than what you say,

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:13.259
if it be true. But do not bother us with it in our gathering.

00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:15.259
Return to your abode,

00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:18.359
and whoever comes to you, recount it to him."

00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:20.359
Upon this, 'Abdullah ibn Rawahah said:

00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:22.359
"Nay, O Messenger of Allah!

00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.359
Do cover us with it in our gatherings,

00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.359
for indeed we love that!"

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.359
So the Muslims, the idolaters, and the Jews began to revile one another,

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.359
until they were on the verge of rushing at one another.

00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:35.359
In a narration:

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.359
until they were about to leap upon each other.

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.359
The Prophet (peace be upon him) kept

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.359
calming them down until they quieted down.

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.359
Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) mounted

00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.359
his beast

00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.359
and rode on until he entered upon Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah.

00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.359
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him:

00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:57.359
"O Sa'd!

00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.359
Have you not heard what Abu Hubab said?"—

00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.359
meaning 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy—

00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.359
"He said such and such."

00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.359
Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah said:

00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:09.359
"O Messenger of Allah!

00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.359
Pardon him and overlook it.

00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.359
For by the One Who sent down the Book upon you,

00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.359
Allah brought the Truth which He revealed to you

00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.359
after the people of this territory had agreed to crown him

00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.359
and bind his head with the turban of leadership.

00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.359
So when Allah prevented that through the Truth He bestowed upon you,

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:32.359
he choked with envy because of it.

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.359
That is why he did what you saw."

00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:40.359
So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pardoned him.

00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:43.359
The Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.359
and his Companions used to pardon the idolaters

00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.359
and the People of the Book, just as Allah commanded them,

00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.359
and they bore their hurt with patience.

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.359
Allah Almighty said:

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:58.359
“Assuredly ye will be tried in your property and in your persons, and ye will hear much wrong from those who were given the Scripture before you, and from the idolaters. But if ye persevere and ward off (evil), then that is of the steadfast heart of things.” (3:186)

00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.359
"and from those who associate partners with Allah, much hurtful abuse."

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.359
to the end of the verse.

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:04.359
And Allah said:

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.359
“Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (2:109)

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.359
“Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (2:109)

00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.359
“Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (2:109)

00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:17.359
to the end of the verse.

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:20.420
And the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:23.420
used to practice forgiveness as Allah commanded him,

00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:26.420
until Allah gave permission regarding them.

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:30.420
So when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) fought

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:32.420
Badr,

00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:36.420
and Allah killed through him the chiefs of the disbelievers of Quraish—

00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:40.420
in a narration: the leaders of Quraish—

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:43.420
the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) returned

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:46.420
and his Companions, victorious and laden with spoils,

00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:51.420
bringing with them captives from the chiefs of the disbelievers and the leaders of Quraish.

00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:53.519
Ibn Ubayy ibn Salul said,

00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.519
along with those with him among the idolaters and idol-worshippers:

00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.609
"This matter has now prevailed."

00:25:00.609 --> 00:25:03.609
So they pledged allegiance to the Messenger (peace be upon him)

00:25:03.609 --> 00:25:07.279
to embrace Islam, and they accepted Islam.

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.730
Commentary on the hadith:

00:25:10.730 --> 00:25:13.730

he meant the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.920
"Indeed, there is nothing better than what you say"—

00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.920
he said this in mockery.

00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.920
"If it be true, do not bother us with it"—

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:05.920
he meant the Noble Qur'an.

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:08.920
This is part of the rudeness of the hypocrites.

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.920
"Return to your abode"—meaning your house.

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:14.920

meaning until they settled and became silent.

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.920

"Pardon him and overlook it"—

00:26:47.990 --> 00:26:48.990
what is meant is:

00:26:48.990 --> 00:26:51.990

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:32.180
Namely, through slandering you, your religion, your Book, and your Messenger.

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:38.309
“Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (2:109)

“Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (2:109)

00:27:42.309 --> 00:27:46.309
Allah Almighty informed of the intense envy of many among the People of the Book,

00:27:47.309 --> 00:27:49.309
and that matters reached such a state with them

00:27:49.309 --> 00:27:52.309
that they wished you would revert to disbelief,

00:27:52.309 --> 00:27:56.309
striving toward that end and employing plots.

00:27:56.309 --> 00:27:58.400

a *sandid* is any prominent, powerful leader.

00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:07.400

meaning its dominance has become manifest.

00:28:09.849 --> 00:28:13.809
Benefits derived from the hadith:

00:28:13.809 --> 00:28:15.809
Among the points derived from the hadith:

00:28:15.809 --> 00:28:18.809
A demonstration of the humility of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:28:18.809 --> 00:28:22.809
and his gentleness toward his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).

00:28:22.809 --> 00:28:26.809
In it is the prescription of visiting the sick and its virtue.

00:28:26.809 --> 00:28:29.809
In it is an exposition of his patience (peace be upon him)

00:28:29.809 --> 00:28:31.809
under hardship, his forbearance,

00:28:31.809 --> 00:28:35.809
and overlooking that which stems from the ignorant.

00:28:35.809 --> 00:28:39.809
In it is the permissibility of carrying a passenger behind on a riding beast, provided

00:28:39.809 --> 00:28:42.809
it can bear it without being harmed.

00:28:42.809 --> 00:28:46.809
In it is the permissibility of remaining briefly mounted upon a beast;

00:28:46.809 --> 00:28:48.809
if it prolongs, one should dismount,

00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:51.809
as was done by the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:28:51.809 --> 00:28:57.809
In it is the permissibility of offering greetings of peace to a gathering comprising Muslims and non-Muslim disbelievers.

00:28:57.809 --> 00:29:00.809
In it is showing gentleness toward idolaters

00:29:00.809 --> 00:29:05.809
and reciting the Qur'an to them to win their hearts, hoping for their acceptance of Islam,

00:29:05.809 --> 00:29:10.809
and in fulfillment of conveying that which Allah Almighty commanded him to convey.

00:29:10.809 --> 00:29:14.809
In it is the permissibility of calling a disbeliever by his well-known kunya,

00:29:14.809 --> 00:29:17.809
and this is not done out of honorific reverence.

00:29:17.809 --> 00:29:23.809
In it is that mockery and refusal to accept the truth are from the habits of the hypocrites.

00:29:23.809 --> 00:29:29.809
In it is the intense love of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) for the Speech of Allah Almighty.

00:29:29.809 --> 00:29:33.809
In it is the permissibility of swearing an oath without being asked to do so.

00:29:33.809 --> 00:29:37.809
In the hadith is an indication of the great danger posed by the Jews.

00:29:37.809 --> 00:29:40.809
In it is an exposition of the virtue of pardon and forgiveness.

00:29:40.809 --> 00:29:46.809
In it is an exposition of the envy felt by the Jews and idolaters toward the people of monotheism and truth.
