of depicting living beings on carpets, stones, garments, coins, pillows, dinars, cushions, and the like. 00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:30.410 And the prohibition of keeping images on walls, curtains, turbans, garments, and similar items. 00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:34.590 And the command to destroy such images. 00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:37.590 From Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both: 00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:41.590 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:00:41.590 --> 00:00:45.750 "Those who create these images 00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:48.750 will be punished on the Day of Resurrection; 00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:50.750 it will be said to them: 00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:52.750 'Bring to life what you have created.'" 00:00:52.979 --> 00:00:54.979 Agreed upon. 00:00:54.979 --> 00:00:59.350 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:00:59.350 --> 00:01:03.350 The severe prohibition and confirmed unlawfulness of creating images, 00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:06.349 as the creator is punished for it on the Day of Resurrection. 00:01:06.349 --> 00:01:09.349 He is challenged to breathe a soul into them, 00:01:09.349 --> 00:01:12.349 yet he has no power to do so. 00:01:12.349 --> 00:01:14.900 The prohibited form of depiction 00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:17.900 is the depiction of animate beings, 00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:20.900 as will be discussed further, if Allah wills. 00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:23.409 The reason for the prohibition of images 00:01:23.409 --> 00:01:27.409 is that it mimics the creation of Allah the Exalted. 00:01:27.409 --> 00:01:32.620 From Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:36.620 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, returned from a journey, 00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:41.620 and I had covered a niche of mine with a curtain containing figures. 00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:46.620 When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saw it, 00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:48.620 his face changed color, 00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:49.620 and he said: 00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:51.620 "O Aisha, 00:01:51.620 --> 00:01:55.620 the people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah on the Day of Resurrection 00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:59.879 are those who mimic the creation of Allah." 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:00.879 She said: 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.879 "So we cut it up 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.980 and made one or two cushions out of it." 00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:09.360 Agreed upon. 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.389 The *qiram* is a curtain. 00:02:12.389 --> 00:02:13.389 And the *sahwah* 00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:17.389 is a small room or alcove in front of the house. 00:02:17.389 --> 00:02:18.389 It is also said 00:02:18.389 --> 00:02:21.389 that it is a niche in the wall. 00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:26.259 From Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:31.259 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:02:31.259 --> 00:02:34.379 "Every image-maker will be in the Fire; 00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:38.379 for every image he created, a soul will be placed in it, 00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:41.580 and it will punish him in Hell." 00:02:41.580 --> 00:02:43.580 Ibn Abbas said: 00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:46.580 "If you must do it, 00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:49.580 then create trees and things that have no soul." 00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:52.020 Agreed upon. 00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:56.240 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:00.240 An explanation of the severity of the punishment for image-makers on the Day of Resurrection, 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.240 and that they will be asked to breathe a soul into what they depicted, 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.849 and that they will be unable to do so. 00:03:08.849 --> 00:03:11.849 The permissibility of depicting trees and other things 00:03:11.849 --> 00:03:13.849 that do not possess a soul. 00:03:13.849 --> 00:03:18.969 From Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:03:18.969 --> 00:03:24.129 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:03:24.129 --> 00:03:27.129 "Whoever creates an image in this world 00:03:27.129 --> 00:03:31.129 will be tasked to breathe a soul into it on the Day of Resurrection, 00:03:31.129 --> 00:03:33.129 and he will not be able to do so." 00:03:33.129 --> 00:03:35.349 Agreed upon. 00:03:35.349 --> 00:03:38.699 "Tasked" (*kullifa*) 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. 00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:44.979 "He will not be able to do so" 00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:47.979 means he will not be capable of it. 00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:51.069 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:03:51.069 --> 00:03:54.300 A warning from Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, 00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:58.300 that He will expose the image-makers on the Day of Resurrection, 00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:01.300 demonstrate their incapacity and weakness, 00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:06.419 and punish them for what their own hands have wrought. 00:04:06.419 --> 00:04:10.419 From Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:14.419 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:04:14.419 --> 00:04:19.509 "The people who will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection 00:04:19.509 --> 00:04:21.670 are the image-makers." 00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:23.670 Agreed upon. 00:04:23.670 --> 00:04:27.470 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:04:27.470 --> 00:04:29.470 The gravity of the punishment for the image-maker, 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. 00:04:34.470 --> 00:04:39.689 From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:04:39.689 --> 00:04:44.689 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:04:44.689 --> 00:04:46.689 Allah the Exalted says: 00:04:46.689 --> 00:04:51.819 "And who is more unjust than one who attempts to create like My creation? 00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:53.819 Let them create an atom, 00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:55.819 or let them create a grain, 00:04:55.819 --> 00:04:58.819 or let them create a barleycorn." 00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:00.939 Agreed upon. 00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:05.160 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.160 The prohibition of mimicking the creation of Allah, 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.160 and that this mimicry occurs through the act of creating a visible image, 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.189 whether intended or not. 00:05:16.189 --> 00:05:21.189 This contains a statement on the extreme ugliness of the work of image-makers, 00:05:21.189 --> 00:05:25.189 because it is an act of audacity in attempting to resemble the creation of Allah, 00:05:25.189 --> 00:05:28.189 despite their proven inability to do so. 00:05:28.189 --> 00:05:32.540 From Abu Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him: 00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:37.540 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:42.540 "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image." 00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:44.540 Agreed upon. 00:05:44.540 --> 00:05:48.879 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.879 The prohibition of keeping a dog, 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.879 except for hunting, guarding livestock, or protecting crops. 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.490 The prohibition of hanging images on walls, 00:05:58.490 --> 00:06:02.490 which is a trial that the people of this time have fallen into. 00:06:02.490 --> 00:06:07.000 A house that contains a dog or an image 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.000 is not entered by the angels of mercy, 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.000 and thus it is deprived of their seeking forgiveness for its inhabitants 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.000 and their supplication for mercy for them. 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.480 The angels who refrain from entering 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.480 are the angels of mercy. 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.480 As for the recording angels, 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.480 they never depart from the servants. 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.480 Likewise, the angels of punishment, 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.480 when it is decreed, 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.480 do not refrain from entering. 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.480 The same applies to the Angel of Death 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.480 when the appointed time arrives. 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.470 From Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:06:41.470 --> 00:06:45.470 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, promised 00:06:45.470 --> 00:06:47.470 Gabriel that he would come to him, 00:06:47.470 --> 00:06:49.470 but he was delayed, 00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:53.470 which caused distress to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:06:53.470 --> 00:06:55.470 He went out, 00:06:55.470 --> 00:06:57.470 and Gabriel met him. 00:06:57.470 --> 00:06:59.470 He complained to him, 00:06:59.470 --> 00:07:01.470 and Gabriel said: 00:07:01.470 --> 00:07:05.470 "We do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image." 00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:07.600 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.920 "Delayed" (*raatha*) 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.589 means he was slow in coming to him. 00:07:12.589 --> 00:07:15.589 From Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 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, 00:07:23.589 --> 00:07:25.589 but that hour came, 00:07:25.589 --> 00:07:27.589 and he did not come to him. 00:07:27.589 --> 00:07:29.660 She said: 00:07:29.660 --> 00:07:31.660 He had a staff in his hand, 00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:35.660 and he threw it from his hand, saying: 00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:39.720 "Allah does not break His promise, nor do His messengers." 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.720 Then he turned around, 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.720 and there was a puppy under his bed. 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.720 He said: 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.720 "When did this dog enter?" 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.720 I said: 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.720 "By Allah, I did not know about it." 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.720 He ordered it to be taken out. 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.720 Then Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to him. 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.819 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:03.819 "You promised me, 00:08:03.819 --> 00:08:06.850 so I sat waiting for you, but you did not come." 00:08:06.850 --> 00:08:07.850 He said: 00:08:07.850 --> 00:08:11.850 "The dog that was in your house prevented me; 00:08:11.850 --> 00:08:17.100 we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image." 00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:19.100 Narrated by Muslim. 00:08:19.100 --> 00:08:23.509 From the benefits of the hadiths: 00:08:23.509 --> 00:08:26.509 Keeping images and dogs 00:08:26.509 --> 00:08:31.509 are among the vile things that repel the angels, 00:08:31.509 --> 00:08:35.960 and their presence is a cause for being deprived of mercy. 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.960 Being infatuated with images and keeping dogs 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.409 is a hallmark of the civilization of disbelief in this era. 00:08:44.409 --> 00:08:47.889 The obligation to fulfill promises. 00:08:47.889 --> 00:08:51.889 The angels disapprove of violating the command of Allah. 00:08:51.889 --> 00:08:55.009 From Abu al-Hayyaj, 00:08:55.009 --> 00:08:58.009 Hayyan ibn Husayn, who said: 00:08:58.009 --> 00:09:02.009 Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said to me: 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? 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.360 Do not leave any image without effacing it, 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.360 and do not leave any raised grave without leveling it." 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.350 Narrated by Muslim. 00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:22.350 "Effacing it" (*tamasta-ha*) 00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:26.350 means to remove it and alter its features. 00:09:26.350 --> 00:09:28.580 "Leveling it" (*sawwayta-hu*) 00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:31.580 means to make it level with the ground. 00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:35.730 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:09:35.730 --> 00:09:37.730 The Sunnah regarding the grave 00:09:37.730 --> 00:09:41.730 is that it should not be raised significantly above the surface of the earth. 00:09:41.730 --> 00:09:44.730 Therefore, building upon it and plastering it 00:09:44.730 --> 00:09:47.730 falls under the category of what is prohibited. 00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:52.779 The obligation to efface and destroy images. 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. 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, 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:13.340 and to convey it to the Tabi'un with honesty and sincerity. 00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:15.340 Chapter: The prohibition of keeping a dog 00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:21.580 except for hunting, livestock, or crops. 00:10:21.580 --> 00:10:24.580 From Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:29.580 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:34.840 "Whoever keeps a dog, except for a hunting dog or one for livestock, 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:39.840 two qirats of his reward will be deducted every day." 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.100 Agreed upon. 00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:45.159 In one narration, "one qirat." 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:51.730 "Keeps" (*iqtana*) means to acquire something for the purpose of utilizing it. 00:10:51.730 --> 00:10:53.950 "Livestock" 00:10:53.950 --> 00:10:57.950 refers to wealth consisting of camels, cows, and sheep. 00:10:57.950 --> 00:11:03.139 From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:07.139 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:09.299 "Whoever keeps a dog, 00:11:09.299 --> 00:11:14.299 one qirat of his deeds will be deducted every day, 00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:17.299 except for a dog for farming or livestock." 00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:19.460 Agreed upon. 00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:22.740 In a narration by Muslim: 00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:28.779 "Whoever keeps a dog that is not for hunting, livestock, or land, 00:11:28.779 --> 00:11:34.899 two qirats of his reward will be deducted every day." 00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:38.769 Among the benefits derived from these hadiths: 00:11:38.769 --> 00:11:42.090 The prohibition of keeping dogs without a valid need. 00:11:42.090 --> 00:11:46.090 This is because keeping them diminishes the reward of the one who does so. 00:11:46.090 --> 00:11:51.759 The permissibility of keeping a dog for hunting, guarding crops, or herding livestock. 00:11:55.639 --> 00:12:00.639 Chapter: The dislike of hanging a bell on a camel or other riding animals. 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:05.639 And the dislike of keeping a dog or a bell while traveling. 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:10.889 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:12:10.889 --> 00:12:14.950 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 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." 00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:23.139 Narrated by Muslim. 00:12:23.139 -->
