Research 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,939 presents: 5 00:00:10,939 --> 00:00:16,239 Abridgment of Sahih al-Bukhari. 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:22,989 Chapter: Having a Mosque along the Pathway Without Causing Harm to People. 7 00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:29,859 On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: 8 00:00:30,859 --> 00:00:32,859 "Since I first possessed reason, I never knew my parents 9 00:00:32,859 --> 00:00:35,859 except that they both practiced the true religion. 10 00:00:35,859 --> 00:00:37,859 Not a single day passed for us 11 00:00:37,859 --> 00:00:43,859 without the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) visiting us at either end of the day, 12 00:00:43,859 --> 00:00:46,079 morning and evening. 13 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,079 When the Muslims were subjected to severe trials, 14 00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:53,079 Abu Bakr set out emigrating toward the land of Abyssinia. 15 00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:55,079 When he reached Bark al-Ghimad, 16 00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:57,079 he was met by Ibn al-Dughunnah, 17 00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:59,079 who was the chief of the Qarah tribe. 18 00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:01,079 He asked, 19 00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:03,079 'Where are you heading, O Abu Bakr?' 20 00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:05,079 Abu Bakr replied, 21 00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:07,079 'My people have driven me out, 22 00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:11,079 so I wish to wander the earth and worship my Lord.' 23 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,140 Ibn al-Dughunnah said, 24 00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:18,180 'Indeed, someone like you, O Abu Bakr, should neither depart nor be driven out! 25 00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:20,180 For you provide for the destitute, 26 00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:22,180 maintain family ties, 27 00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:23,180 bear the burdens of the weary, 28 00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:25,180 host guests generously, 29 00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:28,400 and assist those afflicted by misfortunes of truth.' 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,400 'I am your guarantor of protection! 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,400 Return, 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,400 and worship your Lord in your own homeland.' 33 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,400 So he returned, 34 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,400 and Ibn al-Dughunnah departed alongside him. 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,400 In the evening, Ibn al-Dughunnah went around 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,400 among the nobles of Quraysh 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,400 and said to them, 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,400 'Indeed, someone like Abu Bakr should neither depart nor be driven out! 39 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,400 Do you expel a man who provides for the destitute, 40 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400 maintains family ties, 41 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,400 bears the burdens of the weary, 42 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,400 hosts guests generously, 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,780 and assists those afflicted by misfortunes of truth?' 44 00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:02,780 Quraysh did not contest the protection granted by Ibn al-Dughunnah, 45 00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:04,780 and they said to Ibn al-Dughunnah, 46 00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:05,780 'Instruct Abu Bakr 47 00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:08,780 to worship his Lord inside his own house; 48 00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:10,780 he may pray therein 49 00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:12,780 and recite whatever he wishes, 50 00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:14,780 but he must not cause us distress thereby, 51 00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:16,780 nor proclaim it publicly. 52 00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:21,849 For we fear that he will entice our women and our children.' 53 00:02:21,849 --> 00:02:24,849 Ibn al-Dughunnah conveyed that to Abu Bakr. 54 00:02:24,849 --> 00:02:29,909 Abu Bakr remained thus, worshipping his Lord inside his house, 55 00:02:29,909 --> 00:02:35,039 neither praying publicly nor reciting anywhere other than his home. 56 00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:37,039 Later, an idea occurred to Abu Bakr: 57 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,039 he built a prayer area in the courtyard of his house, 58 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:44,039 and began praying in it and reciting the Qur'an. 59 00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:48,039 The women and children of the polytheists began crowding around him, 60 00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:52,039 marveling at him and gazing upon him. 61 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,039 Abu Bakr was a tenderhearted man who wept frequently; 62 00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:59,039 he could not restrain his tears when reciting the Qur'an. 63 00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:03,039 This alarmed the polytheist nobles of Quraysh, 64 00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:06,039 so they sent for Ibn al-Dughunnah, 65 00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:08,039 and when he came to them, 66 00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:09,039 they said, 67 00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:13,039 'We granted Abu Bakr asylum under your protection 68 00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:16,039 on the condition that he worship his Lord inside his house, 69 00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:18,039 yet he has overstepped that! 70 00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:21,039 He built a prayer place in the courtyard of his house, 71 00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:24,039 publicly performing the prayer and reciting therein, 72 00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:29,039 and we truly fear that he will entice our women and our children! 73 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:30,039 So forbid him! 74 00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:32,199 In another narration: 75 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:33,259 'Go to him: 76 00:03:33,259 --> 00:03:38,259 if he chooses to restrict himself to worshipping his Lord inside his house, he may do so; 77 00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:41,259 but if he refuses anything short of public practice, 78 00:03:41,259 --> 00:03:45,259 ask him to return your covenant of protection to you! 79 00:03:45,259 --> 00:03:48,259 For we loathe betraying your covenant, 80 00:03:48,259 --> 00:03:52,259 yet we will not permit Abu Bakr to proclaim his worship openly.' 81 00:03:52,259 --> 00:03:54,330 'A'ishah said: 82 00:03:54,330 --> 00:03:58,360 So Ibn al-Dughunnah came to Abu Bakr and said, 83 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 'You know the terms upon which I made a covenant on your behalf: 84 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,360 either you restrict yourself to that, 85 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,360 or you return my covenant of protection to me, 86 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,360 for I do not like the Arabs to hear that I was betrayed concerning a man under my covenant.' 87 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,550 Abu Bakr replied, 88 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:19,550 'I hereby return your protection to you, 89 00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:22,550 and I am well pleased with the protection of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.' 90 00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:27,709 The Prophet (peace be upon him) was in Mecca at that time, 91 00:04:27,709 --> 00:04:31,779 and he said to the Muslims: 92 00:04:31,779 --> 00:04:35,779 'I have been shown the place of your migration: 93 00:04:35,779 --> 00:04:37,779 a land of date palms.' 94 00:04:37,779 --> 00:04:38,779 In another narration: 95 00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:41,779 'I saw a salt flat rich in date palms, 96 00:04:41,779 --> 00:04:43,779 situated between two lava tracts'— 97 00:04:43,779 --> 00:04:45,779 meaning the two volcanic plains. 98 00:04:45,779 --> 00:04:48,779 So whoever wished to emigrate departed toward Medina, 99 00:04:48,779 --> 00:04:53,779 and most of those who had emigrated to Abyssinia returned to Medina. 100 00:04:53,779 --> 00:04:57,779 Abu Bakr also prepared to depart for Medina, 101 00:04:57,779 --> 00:05:01,779 but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to him, 102 00:05:01,779 --> 00:05:03,779 'Be patient, 103 00:05:03,779 --> 00:05:06,779 for I hope that permission will soon be granted to me.' 104 00:05:06,779 --> 00:05:08,779 Abu Bakr asked, 105 00:05:08,779 --> 00:05:11,779 'Do you truly expect that, may my father be ransomed for you?' 106 00:05:11,779 --> 00:05:12,779 He said, 'Yes.' 107 00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:17,810 So Abu Bakr held himself back to accompany the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 108 00:05:17,810 --> 00:05:19,810 in order to be his companion. 109 00:05:19,810 --> 00:05:23,810 He fed two riding camels he possessed leaves of the acacia tree— 110 00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:26,810 which is fallen foliage—for four months. 111 00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:28,810 'A'ishah said: 112 00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:34,810 While we were seated one day in the house of Abu Bakr in the intense heat of midday, 113 00:05:34,810 --> 00:05:37,810 someone called out to Abu Bakr: 114 00:05:37,810 --> 00:05:41,810 'Here is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) veiled with a head covering, 115 00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:45,810 coming at an hour he never used to visit us.' 116 00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:47,899 Abu Bakr said, 117 00:05:47,899 --> 00:05:50,899 'May my father and mother be ransomed for him! 118 00:05:50,899 --> 00:05:55,899 By Allah, nothing could have brought him at this hour except an urgent matter.' 119 00:05:55,899 --> 00:05:56,970 She said: 120 00:05:56,970 --> 00:06:01,970 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived and sought permission to enter; 121 00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:03,970 permission was granted, and he entered. 122 00:06:03,970 --> 00:06:09,000 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Abu Bakr, 123 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 'Have whoever is with you step out.' 124 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Abu Bakr replied, 125 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000 'They are only your family, may my father be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah.' 126 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,100 He said, 127 00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:22,100 'I have been granted permission to depart.' 128 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,100 Abu Bakr asked, 129 00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:28,100 'May I accompany you, may my father be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah?' 130 00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:33,220 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied, 'Yes.' 131 00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:35,259 Abu Bakr said, 132 00:06:35,259 --> 00:06:40,259 'Take, may my father be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah, one of these two riding camels of mine.' 133 00:06:40,259 --> 00:06:45,290 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'Only for a price.' 134 00:06:45,290 --> 00:06:47,319 'A'ishah said: 135 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,319 We prepared provisions for them with the utmost haste 136 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,319 and packed their travel rations in a leather pouch. 137 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:59,319 Asma' bint Abi Bakr cut a piece from her waist-girdle 138 00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:02,319 and tied the opening of the pouch with it; 139 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:05,319 thus she was named 'She of the Two Girdles.' 140 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:07,420 She continued: 141 00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:10,420 Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) 142 00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:14,420 and Abu Bakr reached a cave on Mount Thawr, 143 00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:17,449 and they concealed themselves in it for three nights. 144 00:07:17,449 --> 00:07:20,449 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr would spend the night with them; 145 00:07:20,449 --> 00:07:22,449 he was a young youth, 146 00:07:22,449 --> 00:07:24,449 intelligent and perceptive. 147 00:07:24,449 --> 00:07:27,449 He would depart from them before daybreak 148 00:07:27,449 --> 00:07:31,449 and arrive in the morning among Quraysh in Mecca as though he had spent the night there. 149 00:07:31,449 --> 00:07:35,449 He would not hear of any plot against them without memorizing it, 150 00:07:35,449 --> 00:07:40,449 bringing them word of it when darkness fell. 151 00:07:40,449 --> 00:07:45,509 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, would pasture 152 00:07:45,509 --> 00:07:47,509 a flock of dairy sheep near them, 153 00:07:47,509 --> 00:07:52,509 bringing them back to rest near them an hour into the night. 154 00:07:52,509 --> 00:07:54,509 Thus, they would spend the night supplied with fresh milk, 155 00:07:54,509 --> 00:07:58,509 which was the yield of their flock and heated by warm stones, 156 00:07:58,509 --> 00:08:02,509 until 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah would call the flock away before sunrise; 157 00:08:02,509 --> 00:08:07,509 he did that on every single night of those three nights. 158 00:08:07,509 --> 00:08:11,800 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) 159 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800 and Abu Bakr had hired a man from the tribe of al-Dil— 160 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,800 from the clan of Banu 'Abd ibn 'Adi— 161 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,800 as an expert scout; 162 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,800 a khirrit is an expert proficient in guiding paths. 163 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,800 He had dipped his hand in an alliance with the family of al-'As ibn Wa'il al-Sahmi, 164 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,800 and he still followed the religion of the polytheists of Quraysh. 165 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,799 Yet they trusted him, 166 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,799 so they handed over their two riding mounts to him 167 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,799 and made an appointment to meet him at the Cave of Thawr after three nights, 168 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,799 with their two mounts on the morning of the third day. 169 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:46,799 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah and the guide set out with them, 170 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:49,799 and he led them along the coastal route. 171 00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:53,220 Commentary on the Hadith: 172 00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:55,759 'I never possessed reason': 173 00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:57,820 meaning: I never knew. 174 00:08:57,820 --> 00:08:58,820 'My parents': 175 00:08:58,820 --> 00:09:01,820 she meant Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) 176 00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:05,820 and her mother, Umm Ruman (may Allah be pleased with her); 177 00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:08,919 using the dual form here is by way of predominance. 178 00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:10,919 'Practiced the true religion': 179 00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:12,950 meaning: the religion of Islam. 180 00:09:12,950 --> 00:09:14,950 'Morning and evening': 181 00:09:14,950 --> 00:09:17,179 that is, day and night. 182 00:09:17,179 --> 00:09:19,179 'When the Muslims were subjected to severe trials': 183 00:09:19,179 --> 00:09:23,269 meaning: by the harm inflicted by the disbelievers of Quraysh and others. 184 00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:25,269 'Bark al-Ghimad': 185

means he traveled until he brought them to the seashore. 330 00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:23,570 Among the benefits derived from the hadith: 331 00:15:23,570 --> 00:15:25,570 From this hadith is deduced 332 00:15:25,570 --> 00:15:28,570 an affirmation of the virtue of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), 333 00:15:28,570 --> 00:15:31,570 his precedence in Islam, 334 00:15:31,570 --> 00:15:34,570 and the deep devotion and close companionship of Abu Bakr 335 00:15:34,570 --> 00:15:37,600 to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 336 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,600 In the hadith is an exposition of what al-Siddiq possessed 337 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,600 of excellence and truthfulness 338 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,600 in supporting his Messenger (peace be upon him), 339 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,600 sacrificing his life and wealth for that cause. 340 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,600 It shows that frequent visits are unproblematic 341 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,600 when affection is well-established or there is a need for it. 342 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,629 The Sunnah has established that Muslims are tested in proportion to their faith. 343 00:16:01,629 --> 00:16:05,629 It indicates that customary asylum was recognized among the Arabs 344 00:16:05,629 --> 00:16:07,629 and confirmed by the Sacred Law. 345 00:16:07,629 --> 00:16:11,629 The notables of the Arabs used to grant protection to anyone who sought refuge with them 346 00:16:11,629 --> 00:16:13,730 and requested their asylum. 347 00:16:13,730 --> 00:16:17,730 It shows that seeking asylum is only for one who has been wronged, 348 00:16:17,730 --> 00:16:21,730 and that a believer may seek refuge with someone who will shield him from injustice 349 00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:23,730 if he fears for his life, 350 00:16:23,730 --> 00:16:26,730 even if the one granting protection is a disbeliever. 351 00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:30,820 One has the choice between taking the dispensation and exercising patient endurance. 352 00:16:30,820 --> 00:16:37,820 It highlights the virtue of patience in the face of the harm a Muslim endures in the cause of Allah Almighty. 353 00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:41,820 It demonstrates the virtue of emigration and fleeing to safeguard one's religion. 354 00:16:41,820 --> 00:16:46,860 The hadith suggests that anyone whose continued presence is beneficial 355 00:16:46,860 --> 00:16:48,860 should not leave the land, 356 00:16:48,860 --> 00:16:53,080 and should be dissuaded from leaving if he intends to depart. 357 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,080 Included among noble character traits 358 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,080 is assisting the vulnerable and helping them with their worldly needs. 359 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,080 Among noble character traits 360 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:07,079 are maintaining ties of kinship and providing food and shelter for the guest; 361 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:12,079 these were praised morals among the Arabs in the pre-Islamic era. 362 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,140 Among noble character traits 363 00:17:14,140 --> 00:17:18,140 is helping others in times of crisis and calamity. 364 00:17:18,140 --> 00:17:22,140 Among the character traits condemned both in the pre-Islamic era and Islam 365 00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:25,140 are breaching covenants and treachery. 366 00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:29,269 It contains a demonstration of the virtue of reciting the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, 367 00:17:29,269 --> 00:17:31,269 conveying it, 368 00:17:31,269 --> 00:17:34,269 and the permissibility of weeping while reciting. 369 00:17:34,269 --> 00:17:39,269 It indicates that the Holy Qur'an deeply affects souls possessed of a sound innate disposition; 370 00:17:39,269 --> 00:17:44,269 this is why the polytheists feared their children hearing the Qur'an. 371 00:17:44,269 --> 00:17:49,269 It shows that a Muslim is a caller through his conduct before his speech; 372 00:17:49,269 --> 00:17:53,269 this is what Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) practiced, 373 00:17:53,269 --> 00:17:56,269 and what the polytheists of Quraysh realized. 374 00:17:56,269 --> 00:18:00,269 The hadith demonstrates that Muslims are bound by their stipulations. 375 00:18:00,269 --> 00:18:04,269 It showcases the virtue of companionship and the high status of the Companions. 376 00:18:04,269 --> 00:18:08,299 It shows that Abu Bakr 377 00:18:08,299 --> 00:18:12,299 was the confidant of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). 378 00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:16,339 It guides toward acquiring provisions and preparing for travel, 379 00:18:16,339 --> 00:18:19,339 and that this does not contradict reliance on Allah. 380 00:18:19,339 --> 00:18:22,339 It demonstrates the virtue of Medina 381 00:18:22,339 --> 00:18:25,339 and that emigrating to it was divinely revealed. 382 00:18:25,339 --> 00:18:29,339 It establishes the permissibility of a man veiling his face when there is a need. 383 00:18:29,339 --> 00:18:33,339 It shows that it is permissible for a person to meet his companion 384 00:18:33,339 --> 00:18:36,339 at the time of the midday rest for important matters. 385 00:18:36,339 --> 00:18:41,369 It emphasizes the obligation of seeking permission to enter during the midday rest. 386 00:18:41,369 --> 00:18:44,400 It indicates that a person should guard his secret 387 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,400 and disclose it only to someone he trusts. 388 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,430 It instructs taking strict precautions in weighty matters 389 00:18:52,430 --> 00:18:55,430 so that no hindrance obstructs them. 390 00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:58,559 It shows the necessity of taking measures for safety and security 391 00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:01,559 in calling people to Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, 392 00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:05,559 and that doing so does not contradict reliance upon Allah, the Exalted and Majestic. 393 00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,619 It encourages hastening to righteous deeds, 394 00:19:08,619 --> 00:19:12,619 particularly when delay causes harm. 395 00:19:12,619 --> 00:19:16,660 It shows that leaving a gift unspecified at the time of offering does not invalidate it, 396 00:19:16,660 --> 00:19:19,660 because gifting belongs to contracts of gratuitous donation, 397 00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:23,690 unlike contracts of mutual exchange. 398 00:19:23,690 --> 00:19:27,690 It also shows the permissibility of a wife serving her husband before consummation of marriage. 399 00:19:27,690 --> 00:19:32,690 It offers guidance on employing a wise and discerning person in important matters. 400 00:19:32,690 --> 00:19:37,750 It offers guidance on employing specialists within their fields of expertise. 401 00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:40,750 That is why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) hired 402 00:19:40,750 --> 00:19:43,819 a skilled and expert guide. 403 00:19:43,819 --> 00:19:46,819 It demonstrates the permissibility of hiring a non-Muslim for work they do well, 404 00:19:46,819 --> 00:19:48,819 as long as it does not involve sin. 405 00:19:48,819 --> 00:19:51,819 It demonstrates the permissibility of stationing scouts and informants against the enemy 406 00:19:51,819 --> 00:19:54,819 to discover their intelligence and plots. 407 00:19:54,819 --> 00:19:58,819 It illustrates the virtue of the *manīḥah* (loaning milk-producing livestock) of sheep. 408 00:19:58,819 --> 00:20:01,819 It illustrates the high status of women in Islam 409 00:20:01,819 --> 00:20:04,819 and their participation in momentous historical events. 410 00:20:04,819 --> 00:20:09,819 The hadith highlights the virtue of the family of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them), 411 00:20:09,819 --> 00:20:14,819 as all of them had the honor of taking part in the events of the Hijrah. 412 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,960 Chapter: Intertwining the fingers in the mosque and elsewhere. 413 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,470 On the authority of 'Abdullah, who said: 414 00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:28,470 The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 415 00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:30,470 "O 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar, 416 00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:35,470 how will you be when you are left among the dregs of mankind?" 417 00:20:35,470 --> 00:20:36,470 He said: 418 00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:41,470 The Prophet (peace be upon him) intertwined his fingers. 419 00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:46,819 "Among the dregs (*ḥuthālah*)"— 420 00:20:46,819 --> 00:20:49,819 *Ḥuthālah* refers to the worthless refuse of anything, 421 00:20:49,819 --> 00:20:53,819 and here it means the corrupt and vile among mankind. 422 00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:57,170 Points of benefit from the hadith: 423 00:20:57,170 --> 00:20:59,970 From this hadith, it is deduced that 424 00:20:59,970 --> 00:21:03,970 it is permissible to use gestures as illustrations to clarify speech. 425 00:21:03,970 --> 00:21:06,970 The hadith is among the signs of prophethood, 426 00:21:06,970 --> 00:21:11,970 for it foretells the corruption of people and trusts that would come to pass, 427 00:21:11,970 --> 00:21:13,970 and the confusion of their covenants. 428 00:21:13,970 --> 00:21:17,000 The apparent form of the hadith is informative, 429 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000 but its intended meaning is the prohibition of such blameworthy traits. 430 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,240 On the authority of Abu Musa, 431 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,240 from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: 432 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,240 "A believer to another believer is like a building, each part strengthening the other," 433 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,240 and he intertwined his fingers. 434 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,559 Commentary on the hadith: 435 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:43,980 "Like a building, each part strengthening the other," 436 00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:46,980 meaning compact and joined together like a single structure. 437 00:21:47,980 --> 00:21:52,319 Points of benefit from the hadith: 438 00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:56,420 The apparent form of the hadith is informative, but its meaning is an imperative command. 439 00:21:56,420 --> 00:21:58,420 It contains an encouragement toward mutual cooperation 440 00:21:58,420 --> 00:22:04,420 and an urging toward everything that strengthens the structure of Islamic brotherhood, 441 00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:10,539 and the avoidance of everything that tears down or weakens Islamic brotherhood. 442 00:22:10,539 --> 00:22:13,539 It shows the permissibility of using tangible analogies 443 00:22:13,539 --> 00:22:16,539 to clarify abstract concepts, 444 00:22:16,539 --> 00:22:21,539 and that it is permissible for a scholar, when seeking to be particularly emphatic in explanation, 445 00:22:21,539 --> 00:22:27,559 to illustrate the meaning of his words through physical gestures. 446 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:31,559 On the authority of Ibn Sirin, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: 447 00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:35,559 The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led us in 448 00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:37,559 one of the two late afternoon prayers. 449 00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:39,589 In one narration: 450 00:22:39,589 --> 00:22:44,589 The Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed two rak'ahs for Zuhr. 451 00:22:44,589 --> 00:22:46,589 And in another narration: 452 00:22:46,589 --> 00:22:51,880 The Prophet (peace be upon him) led us in either Zuhr or 'Asr. 453 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,880 Ibn Sirin said: 454 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,880 Abu Hurayrah named it, 455 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,980 but I forgot which one it was. 456 00:22:58,980 --> 00:22:59,980 He said: 457 00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:01,980 So he led us in two rak'ahs, 458 00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:03,980 then said the taslim. 459 00:23:03,980 --> 00:23:07,980 Then he stood up and went to a wooden beam set across the mosque, 460 00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:11,980 and leaned against it as if he were angry. 461 00:23:11,980 --> 00:23:14,980 He placed his right hand over his left, 462 00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:18,980 and the hasty people rushed out through the doors of the mosque, 463 00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:19,980 saying, 464 00:23:19,980 --> 00:23:22,039 "Has the prayer been shortened?" 465 00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:25,039 Among the people were Abu Bakr and 'Umar, 466 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,069 but they were too in awe of him to speak to him. 467 00:23:28,069 --> 00:23:31,099 Among the people was a man with long arms, 468 00:23:31,099 --> 00:23:34,099 who was called Dhu al-Yadayn. 469 00:23:34,099 --> 00:23:36,170 He said, 470 00:23:36,170 --> 00:23:37,170 "O Messenger of Allah, 471 00:23:37,170 --> 00:23:40,170 have you forgotten?" Abu Hurayrah 472 00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:42,170 said: 473 00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:44,170 "O Messenger of Allah, 474 00:23:44,170 --> 00:23:47,230 have you forgotten, or has the prayer been shortened?" 475 00:23:47,230 --> 00:23:48,230 He said, 476 00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:51,329 "I have neither forgotten, nor has it been shortened." 477 00:23:51,329 --> 00:23:52,329 Then he asked, 478 00:23:52,329 --> 00:23:55,329 "Is it as Dhu al-Yadayn says?" 479 00:23:55,329 --> 00:23:57,359 They said, "Yes." 480 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,359 So he stepped forward 481 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,359 and prayed what he had omitted, 482 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,359 then said the taslim. 483 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,359 Then he said the takbir and prostrated like his regular prostration or longer, 484 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,359 then raised his head and said the takbir, 485 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,359 then said the takbir and prostrated like his regular prostration or longer, 486 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,420 then raised his head and said the takbir. 487 00:24:18,420 --> 00:24:20,420 They would sometimes ask him: 488 00:24:20,420 --> 00:24:22,420 "Did he then say the taslim?" 489 00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:23,420 And he would reply: 490 00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:27,420 "I was informed that 'Imran Ibn Husayn said: 491 00:24:27,420 --> 00:24:30,059 'Then he said the taslim.'" 492 00:24:30,059 --> 00:24:33,700 Commentary on the hadith: 493 00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:35,700 "One of the two late afternoon prayers (*'ashiyy*)" 494 00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:37,700 means either Zuhr or 'Asr, 495 00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:42,700 because *'ashiyyah* is used for the period from midday until sunset. 496 00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:44,829 "To a wooden beam set across (*ma'rūḍah*)" 497 00:24:44,829 --> 00:24:46,829 means placed horizontally 498 00:24:46,829 --> 00:24:50,990 or laid down in a corner of the mosque. 499 00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:51,990 "He leaned (*fattaka'*)" 500 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:53,990 means he supported himself against it. 501 00:24:53,990 --> 00:24:56,019 "And the hasty people (*al-sur'ān*) rushed out" 502 00:24:56,019 --> 00:25:00,019 refers to those who are the first to rush toward something 503 00:25:00,019 --> 00:25:03,250 and hurry toward it quickly. 504 00:25:03,250 --> 00:25:05,250 "They were too in awe to speak to him" 505 00:25:05,250 --> 00:25:11,250 means Abu Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) stood in awe of the Prophet (peace be upon him) 506 00:25:11,250 --> 00:25:14,250 out of deep reverence and veneration. 507 00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,410 "He was called Dhu al-Yadayn": 508 00:25:16,410 --> 00:25:19,410 his name was al-Khirbaq Ibn 'Amr al-Sulami 509 00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:21,410 (may Allah be pleased with him). 510 00:25:21,410 --> 00:25:23,569 "They would sometimes ask him: 511 00:25:23,569 --> 00:25:24,569 'Did he then say the taslim?'" 512 00:25:24,569 --> 00:25:26,569 meaning they asked Ibn Sirin: 513 00:25:26,569 --> 00:25:33,569 "Did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say the taslim once again after this prostration of forgetfulness, 514 00:25:33,569 --> 00:25:36,569 or did he suffice with the initial taslim?" 515 00:25:36,569 --> 00:25:37,730 And he would reply: 516 00:25:37,730 --> 00:25:39,730 "I was informed," 517 00:25:39,730 --> 00:25:43,730 meaning, "I was told that 'Imran Ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 518 00:25:43,730 --> 00:25:45,730 'Then he said the taslim.'" 519 00:25:45,730 --> 00:25:52,529 This indicates that he did not hear it directly from 'Imran (may Allah be pleased with him). 520 00:25:52,529 --> 00:25:56,390 Points of benefit from the hadith: 521 00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:58,390 From this hadith, it is deduced that 522 00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:03,390 it illustrates the Companions' intense reverence for the Prophet (peace be upon him). 523 00:26:03,390 --> 00:26:08,390 It highlights the virtue of Abu Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), 524 00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:10,390 the Companions' deference to them, 525 00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:13,390 and their recognition of their high status. 526 00:26:13,390 --> 00:26:17,390 It shows the permissibility of forgetfulness occurring to the Prophet (peace be upon him) 527 00:26:17,390 --> 00:26:19,390 in matters of worship 528 00:26:19,390 --> 00:26:20,390 for the purpose of establishing legislation. 529 00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:24,420 His saying (peace be upon him), 530 00:26:24,420 --> 00:26:28,420 "I have neither forgotten, nor has it been shortened," demonstrates the perfection of the religion. 531 00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:32,549 It shows that clarification must not be delayed beyond the time of need, 532 00:26:32,549 --> 00:26:34,549 and that the default assumption is the absence of abrogation. 533 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:39,579 The hadith proves that the prostration of forgetfulness consists of two prostrations, 534 00:26:39,579 --> 00:26:42,579 while whether they should be performed before or after the taslim 535 00:26:42,579 --> 00:26:44,579 is subject to scholarly disagreement. 536 00:26:44,579 --> 00:26:47,579 It shows that certainty is not overruled by doubt. 537 00:26:47,579 --> 00:26:52,680 It guides toward adopting precaution in acts of worship, 538 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,680 and the obligation to verify before issuing a legal ruling or judgment. 539 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:02,680 It proves the permissibility for a follower or student to question the imam or scholar 540 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,680 regarding problematic occurrences. 541 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,680 It allows mentioning a person's physical trait for the purpose of identification, 542 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,680 and that this is not considered backbiting or disparagement. 543 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,680 The hadith indicates that speech during prayer by the followers to their imam, 544 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,680 if done for the sake of rectifying the prayer, 545 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,680 does not invalidate the prayer. 546 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,710 It also provides proof that whoever says out of forgetfulness, "I did not do such-and-such," 547 00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:30,710 when in fact they had done it, 548 00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:32,710 is not considered a liar.
