depicting living beings on carpets, stones, garments, coins, pillows, dinars, cushions, and the like. 3 00:00:23,410 --> 00:00:30,410 And the prohibition of keeping images on walls, curtains, turbans, garments, and similar items. 4 00:00:30,410 --> 00:00:34,590 And the command to destroy such images. 5 00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:37,590 From Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both: 6 00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:41,590 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 7 00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:45,750 "Those who create these images 8 00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:48,750 will be punished on the Day of Resurrection; 9 00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:50,750 it will be said to them: 10 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:52,750 'Bring to life what you have created.'" 11 00:00:52,979 --> 00:00:54,979 Agreed upon. 12 00:00:54,979 --> 00:00:59,350 From the benefits of the hadith: 13 00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:03,350 The severe prohibition and confirmed unlawfulness of creating images, 14 00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:06,349 as the creator is punished for it on the Day of Resurrection. 15 00:01:06,349 --> 00:01:09,349 He is challenged to breathe a soul into them, 16 00:01:09,349 --> 00:01:12,349 yet he has no power to do so. 17 00:01:12,349 --> 00:01:14,900 The prohibited form of depiction 18 00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:17,900 is the depiction of animate beings, 19 00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,900 as will be discussed further, if Allah wills. 20 00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:23,409 The reason for the prohibition of images 21 00:01:23,409 --> 00:01:27,409 is that it mimics the creation of Allah the Exalted. 22 00:01:27,409 --> 00:01:32,620 From Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 23 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:36,620 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, returned from a journey, 24 00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:41,620 and I had covered a niche of mine with a curtain containing figures. 25 00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:46,620 When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saw it, 26 00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:48,620 his face changed color, 27 00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:49,620 and he said: 28 00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:51,620 "O Aisha, 29 00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:55,620 the people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah on the Day of Resurrection 30 00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:59,879 are those who mimic the creation of Allah." 31 00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:00,879 She said: 32 00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:02,879 "So we cut it up 33 00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:06,980 and made one or two cushions out of it." 34 00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:09,360 Agreed upon. 35 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,389 The *qiram* is a curtain. 36 00:02:12,389 --> 00:02:13,389 And the *sahwah* 37 00:02:13,389 --> 00:02:17,389 is a small room or alcove in front of the house. 38 00:02:17,389 --> 00:02:18,389 It is also said 39 00:02:18,389 --> 00:02:21,389 that it is a niche in the wall. 40 00:02:21,389 --> 00:02:26,259 From Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 41 00:02:26,259 --> 00:02:31,259 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 42 00:02:31,259 --> 00:02:34,379 "Every image-maker will be in the Fire; 43 00:02:34,379 --> 00:02:38,379 for every image he created, a soul will be placed in it, 44 00:02:38,379 --> 00:02:41,580 and it will punish him in Hell." 45 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:43,580 Ibn Abbas said: 46 00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:46,580 "If you must do it, 47 00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:49,580 then create trees and things that have no soul." 48 00:02:49,580 --> 00:02:52,020 Agreed upon. 49 00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:56,240 From the benefits of the hadith: 50 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,240 An explanation of the severity of the punishment for image-makers on the Day of Resurrection, 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,240 and that they will be asked to breathe a soul into what they depicted, 52 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,849 and that they will be unable to do so. 53 00:03:08,849 --> 00:03:11,849 The permissibility of depicting trees and other things 54 00:03:11,849 --> 00:03:13,849 that do not possess a soul. 55 00:03:13,849 --> 00:03:18,969 From Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 56 00:03:18,969 --> 00:03:24,129 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 57 00:03:24,129 --> 00:03:27,129 "Whoever creates an image in this world 58 00:03:27,129 --> 00:03:31,129 will be tasked to breathe a soul into it on the Day of Resurrection, 59 00:03:31,129 --> 00:03:33,129 and he will not be able to do so." 60 00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:35,349 Agreed upon. 61 00:03:35,349 --> 00:03:38,699 "Tasked" (*kullifa*) 62 00:03:38,699 --> 00:03:42,699 means he will be commanded to do so as a form of rebuke and to demonstrate his incapacity. 63 00:03:42,699 --> 00:03:44,979 "He will not be able to do so" 64 00:03:44,979 --> 00:03:47,979 means he will not be capable of it. 65 00:03:47,979 --> 00:03:51,069 From the benefits of the hadith: 66 00:03:51,069 --> 00:03:54,300 A warning from Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, 67 00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:58,300 that He will expose the image-makers on the Day of Resurrection, 68 00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:01,300 demonstrate their incapacity and weakness, 69 00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:06,419 and punish them for what their own hands have wrought. 70 00:04:06,419 --> 00:04:10,419 From Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 71 00:04:10,419 --> 00:04:14,419 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 72 00:04:14,419 --> 00:04:19,509 "The people who will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection 73 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:21,670 are the image-makers." 74 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:23,670 Agreed upon. 75 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:27,470 From the benefits of the hadith: 76 00:04:27,470 --> 00:04:29,470 The gravity of the punishment for the image-maker, 77 00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:34,470 and that he is among those who will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection. 78 00:04:34,470 --> 00:04:39,689 From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 79 00:04:39,689 --> 00:04:44,689 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 80 00:04:44,689 --> 00:04:46,689 Allah the Exalted says: 81 00:04:46,689 --> 00:04:51,819 "And who is more unjust than one who attempts to create like My creation? 82 00:04:51,819 --> 00:04:53,819 Let them create an atom, 83 00:04:53,819 --> 00:04:55,819 or let them create a grain, 84 00:04:55,819 --> 00:04:58,819 or let them create a barleycorn." 85 00:04:58,819 --> 00:05:00,939 Agreed upon. 86 00:05:00,939 --> 00:05:05,160 From the benefits of the hadith: 87 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,160 The prohibition of mimicking the creation of Allah, 88 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,160 and that this mimicry occurs through the act of creating a visible image, 89 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,189 whether intended or not. 90 00:05:16,189 --> 00:05:21,189 This contains a statement on the extreme ugliness of the work of image-makers, 91 00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:25,189 because it is an act of audacity in attempting to resemble the creation of Allah, 92 00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:28,189 despite their proven inability to do so. 93 00:05:28,189 --> 00:05:32,540 From Abu Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him: 94 00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:37,540 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 95 00:05:37,540 --> 00:05:42,540 "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image." 96 00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:44,540 Agreed upon. 97 00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:48,879 From the benefits of the hadith: 98 00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:50,879 The prohibition of keeping a dog, 99 00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:54,879 except for hunting, guarding livestock, or protecting crops. 100 00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:58,490 The prohibition of hanging images on walls, 101 00:05:58,490 --> 00:06:02,490 which is a trial that the people of this time have fallen into. 102 00:06:02,490 --> 00:06:07,000 A house that contains a dog or an image 103 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000 is not entered by the angels of mercy, 104 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000 and thus it is deprived of their seeking forgiveness for its inhabitants 105 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000 and their supplication for mercy for them. 106 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,480 The angels who refrain from entering 107 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,480 are the angels of mercy. 108 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,480 As for the recording angels, 109 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,480 they never depart from the servants. 110 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,480 Likewise, the angels of punishment, 111 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,480 when it is decreed, 112 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,480 do not refrain from entering. 113 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,480 The same applies to the Angel of Death 114 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,480 when the appointed time arrives. 115 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,470 From Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 116 00:06:41,470 --> 00:06:45,470 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, promised 117 00:06:45,470 --> 00:06:47,470 Gabriel that he would come to him, 118 00:06:47,470 --> 00:06:49,470 but he was delayed, 119 00:06:49,470 --> 00:06:53,470 which caused distress to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 120 00:06:53,470 --> 00:06:55,470 He went out, 121 00:06:55,470 --> 00:06:57,470 and Gabriel met him. 122 00:06:57,470 --> 00:06:59,470 He complained to him, 123 00:06:59,470 --> 00:07:01,470 and Gabriel said: 124 00:07:01,470 --> 00:07:05,470 "We do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image." 125 00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:07,600 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 126 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,920 "Delayed" (*raatha*) 127 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,589 means he was slow in coming to him. 128 00:07:12,589 --> 00:07:15,589 From Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 129 00:07:15,589 --> 00:07:23,589 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had an appointment with Gabriel, peace be upon him, at a certain hour to visit him, 130 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:25,589 but that hour came, 131 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:27,589 and he did not come to him. 132 00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:29,660 She said: 133 00:07:29,660 --> 00:07:31,660 He had a staff in his hand, 134 00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:35,660 and he threw it from his hand, saying: 135 00:07:35,660 --> 00:07:39,720 "Allah does not break His promise, nor do His messengers." 136 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,720 Then he turned around, 137 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,720 and there was a puppy under his bed. 138 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,720 He said: 139 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720 "When did this dog enter?" 140 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,720 I said: 141 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,720 "By Allah, I did not know about it." 142 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,720 He ordered it to be taken out. 143 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Then Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to him. 144 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,819 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 145 00:08:01,819 --> 00:08:03,819 "You promised me, 146 00:08:03,819 --> 00:08:06,850 so I sat waiting for you, but you did not come." 147 00:08:06,850 --> 00:08:07,850 He said: 148 00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:11,850 "The dog that was in your house prevented me; 149 00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:17,100 we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image." 150 00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:19,100 Narrated by Muslim. 151 00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:23,509 From the benefits of the hadiths: 152 00:08:23,509 --> 00:08:26,509 Keeping images and dogs 153 00:08:26,509 --> 00:08:31,509 are among the vile things that repel the angels, 154 00:08:31,509 --> 00:08:35,960 and their presence is a cause for being deprived of mercy. 155 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,960 Being infatuated with images and keeping dogs 156 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,409 is a hallmark of the civilization of disbelief in this era. 157 00:08:44,409 --> 00:08:47,889 The obligation to fulfill promises. 158 00:08:47,889 --> 00:08:51,889 The angels disapprove of violating the command of Allah. 159 00:08:51,889 --> 00:08:55,009 From Abu al-Hayyaj, 160 00:08:55,009 --> 00:08:58,009 Hayyan ibn Husayn, who said: 161 00:08:58,009 --> 00:09:02,009 Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said to me: 162 00:09:02,009 --> 00:09:09,360 "Shall I not send you on the same mission that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent me on? 163 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,360 Do not leave any image without effacing it, 164 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,360 and do not leave any raised grave without leveling it." 165 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,350 Narrated by Muslim. 166 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:22,350 "Effacing it" (*tamasta-ha*) 167 00:09:22,350 --> 00:09:26,350 means to remove it and alter its features. 168 00:09:26,350 --> 00:09:28,580 "Leveling it" (*sawwayta-hu*) 169 00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:31,580 means to make it level with the ground. 170 00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:35,730 From the benefits of the hadith: 171 00:09:35,730 --> 00:09:37,730 The Sunnah regarding the grave 172 00:09:37,730 --> 00:09:41,730 is that it should not be raised significantly above the surface of the earth. 173 00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:44,730 Therefore, building upon it and plastering it 174 00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:47,730 falls under the category of what is prohibited. 175 00:09:47,730 --> 00:09:52,779 The obligation to efface and destroy images. 176 00:09:52,779 --> 00:09:58,779 The obligation for those in authority to do so as part of enjoining good and forbidding evil. 177 00:09:58,779 --> 00:10:05,360 The keenness of the Companions to implement the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 178 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:13,340 and to convey it to the Tabi'un with honesty and sincerity. 179 00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:15,340 Chapter: The prohibition of keeping a dog 180 00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:21,580 except for hunting, livestock, or crops. 181 00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:24,580 From Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 182 00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:29,580 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 183 00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:34,840 "Whoever keeps a dog, except for a hunting dog or one for livestock, 184 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,840 two qirats of his reward will be deducted every day." 185 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,100 Agreed upon. 186 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,159 In one narration, "one qirat." 187 00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:51,730 "Keeps" (*iqtana*) means to acquire something for the purpose of utilizing it. 188 00:10:51,730 --> 00:10:53,950 "Livestock" 189 00:10:53,950 --> 00:10:57,950 refers to wealth consisting of camels, cows, and sheep. 190 00:10:57,950 --> 00:11:03,139 From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 191 00:11:03,139 --> 00:11:07,139 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 192 00:11:07,139 --> 00:11:09,299 "Whoever keeps a dog, 193 00:11:09,299 --> 00:11:14,299 one qirat of his deeds will be deducted every day, 194 00:11:14,299 --> 00:11:17,299 except for a dog for farming or livestock." 195 00:11:17,299 --> 00:11:19,460 Agreed upon. 196 00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:22,740 In a narration by Muslim: 197 00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:28,779 "Whoever keeps a dog that is not for hunting, livestock, or land, 198 00:11:28,779 --> 00:11:34,899 two qirats of his reward will be deducted every day." 199 00:11:34,899 --> 00:11:38,769 Among the benefits derived from these hadiths: 200 00:11:38,769 --> 00:11:42,090 The prohibition of keeping dogs without a valid need. 201 00:11:42,090 --> 00:11:46,090 This is because keeping them diminishes the reward of the one who does so. 202 00:11:46,090 --> 00:11:51,759 The permissibility of keeping a dog for hunting, guarding crops, or herding livestock. 203 00:11:55,639 --> 00:12:00,639 Chapter: The dislike of hanging a bell on a camel or other riding animals. 204 00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:05,639 And the dislike of keeping a dog or a bell while traveling. 205 00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:10,889 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 206 00:12:10,889 --> 00:12:14,950 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 207 00:12:14,950 --> 00:12:21,139 "The angels do not accompany a traveling party that has a dog or a bell with them." 208 00:12:21,139 --> 00:12:23,139 Narrated by Muslim. 209 00:12:23,139 --> 00:12:29,100 "Do not accompany," meaning: do not travel with. 210 00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:33,100 Meaning: a group that you travel with on a journey. 211 00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:37,379 And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him: 212 00:12:37,379 --> 00:12:41,379 That the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 213 00:12:41,379 --> 00:12:45,480 "The bell is one of the musical instruments of Shaytan." 214 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,700 Narrated by Abu Dawud. 215 00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:51,889 Among the benefits derived from these hadiths: 216 00:12:51,889 --> 00:12:57,139 The angels are repelled by a traveling party that has a dog or a bell. 217 00:12:57,139 --> 00:13:03,009 The bell involves an imitation of the bells used by Christians. 218 00:13:03,009 --> 00:13:06,009 The bell is a musical instrument that Shaytan loves. 219 00:13:06,009 --> 00:13:09,009 And the angels are repelled by it. 220 00:13:09,009 --> 00:13:12,580 The prohibition of hanging bells. 221 00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:16,580 Especially hanging them on riding animals. 222 00:13:16,580 --> 00:13:19,029 The prohibition of singing. 223 00:13:19,029 --> 00:13:22,029 Because it is a musical instrument of Shaytan. 224 00:13:22,029 --> 00:13:27,690 Chapter: The dislike of riding a jalalah animal. 225 00:13:27,690 --> 00:13:31,690 This refers to a camel or she-camel that consumes filth. 226 00:13:31,690 --> 00:13:35,690 If it is fed pure food until its meat becomes wholesome, 227 00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:37,690 The dislike is removed. 228 00:13:37,690 --> 00:13:43,580 On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 229 00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:46,580 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, forbade 230 00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:49,580 The jalalah among camels, 231 00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:51,580 That one should ride upon it. 232 00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:54,740 Narrated by Abu Dawud. 233 00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:57,700 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 234 00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:03,139 The dislike of riding an animal that consumes impurities and filth. 235 00:14:03,139 --> 00:14:06,659 Islam is a religion of cleanliness. 236 00:14:06,659 --> 00:14:09,659 It is keen on purity. 237 00:14:09,659 --> 00:14:13,659 And it is repelled by filth and impurities. 238 00:14:13,659 --> 00:14:17,779 Riyad al-Salihin.
