00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The Forty Hadith of al-Nawawi

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,699
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both,

3
00:00:08,699 --> 00:00:12,699
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:12,699 --> 00:00:15,759
"I have been commanded to fight the people

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:19,760
until they bear witness that there is no god but Allah

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,760
and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,760
and establish prayer and pay the zakat.

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,859
If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me,

9
00:00:32,859 --> 00:00:35,859
except by the right of Islam,

10
00:00:35,859 --> 00:00:38,859
and their reckoning is with Allah the Exalted."

11
00:00:38,859 --> 00:00:42,270
Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

12
00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:46,420
This hadith clarifies

13
00:00:46,420 --> 00:00:49,420
that the sanctity of people's blood and wealth

14
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:52,420
is established by their entry into Islam

15
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:55,420
and the manifestation of its great rites,

16
00:00:56,420 --> 00:00:59,420
such as establishing prayer and paying the zakat.

17
00:00:59,420 --> 00:01:02,579
It also clarifies that Islam

18
00:01:02,579 --> 00:01:05,579
is a religion of order and justice

19
00:01:05,579 --> 00:01:08,579
that preserves rights and establishes society

20
00:01:08,579 --> 00:01:11,579
upon the foundation of monotheism and obedience to Allah the Exalted.

21
00:01:11,579 --> 00:01:14,680
The hadith emphasizes that the true reckoning

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,680
regarding hearts and intentions is with Allah, glory be to Him,

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,680
whereas legal rulings in this world

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,680
are based upon outward appearances.
