1 00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:09,779 Riyad al-Salihin from the words of the Master of the Messengers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 2 00:00:09,779 --> 00:00:14,960 Chapter: Hastening to perform good deeds. 3 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,960 And urging whoever intends to do good to pursue it with diligence and without hesitation. 4 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,179 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him: 5 00:00:26,179 --> 00:00:32,179 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, took a sword on the day of Uhud. 6 00:00:32,179 --> 00:00:36,179 He said, "Who will take this from me?" 7 00:00:36,179 --> 00:00:43,340 They stretched out their hands, each one of them saying, "I will, I will." 8 00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:47,340 He said, "Who will take it with its due right?" 9 00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:49,340 The people hesitated. 10 00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:52,340 Then Abu Dujanah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 11 00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:55,460 "I will take it with its due right." 12 00:00:55,460 --> 00:00:59,460 He took it and struck the heads of the polytheists with it. 13 00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:01,560 Narrated by Muslim. 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,010 The name of Abu Dujanah is Simak ibn Kharashah. 15 00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:08,200 His saying "the people hesitated" 16 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,200 Means they paused. 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,359 "Struck with it" means he split. 18 00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:16,420 "The heads of the polytheists" 19 00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:18,420 Means their skulls. 20 00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:21,260 "Take it with its due right" 21 00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:24,260 Means to resist the enemies of Allah with it. 22 00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:27,260 And to strive with it as it ought to be striven. 23 00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:30,989 From the benefits of the hadith: 24 00:01:30,989 --> 00:01:38,250 An illustration of the bravery of Abu Dujanah, may Allah be pleased with him, his sacrifice, and his sincerity in jihad. 25 00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:42,250 It does not indicate cowardice on the part of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them. 26 00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:45,250 Rather, they hesitated to take the sword 27 00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:50,250 Fearing that they might not be able to fulfill its condition and its right. 28 00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:53,250 They had stretched out their hands to take it initially 29 00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:57,250 To fight with it to the best of their ability without conditions. 30 00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:00,469 The encouragement of the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 31 00:02:00,469 --> 00:02:05,469 To his Companions for greater sacrifice and inflicting damage upon the enemy. 32 00:02:05,469 --> 00:02:09,599 The permissibility of offering weapons to a soldier to carry them with their due right. 33 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,819 People's abilities in carrying weapons vary. 34 00:02:13,819 --> 00:02:21,020 A Muslim should direct his weapon to strike the heads of the polytheists and disperse their ranks. 35 00:02:21,020 --> 00:02:26,020 It is forbidden for him to point it at his fellow Muslim. 36 00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:32,240 Whoever takes on a task must perform it with right and sincerity. 37 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,099 On the authority of al-Zubayr ibn 'Adi, who said: 38 00:02:36,099 --> 00:02:39,099 We came to Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 39 00:02:39,099 --> 00:02:43,099 And complained to him about what we were suffering from al-Hajjaj. 40 00:02:43,099 --> 00:02:45,099 He said: 41 00:02:45,099 --> 00:02:49,099 "Be patient, for there will not come upon you a time 42 00:02:49,099 --> 00:02:52,099 But that the one after it is worse than it, 43 00:02:52,099 --> 00:02:55,099 Until you meet your Lord." 44 00:02:55,099 --> 00:02:59,099 "I heard this from your Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him." 45 00:02:59,099 --> 00:03:02,169 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 46 00:03:02,169 --> 00:03:04,939 From the benefits of the hadith: 47 00:03:04,939 --> 00:03:09,219 The permissibility of complaining about an Imam or ruler to the people of knowledge. 48 00:03:09,219 --> 00:03:15,219 True leadership of the people lies with the people of knowledge. 49 00:03:15,219 --> 00:03:19,479 The governorship of al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi was oppressive. 50 00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,479 For he was the destroyer of the tribe of Thaqif. 51 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:23,740 The wisdom of the people of knowledge, 52 00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:27,740 Their foresight, and their knowledge of the reality of the people 53 00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:31,740 Are manifested in critical situations and difficult circumstances. 54 00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:35,020 The recommendation of patience during trials, 55 00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:38,020 And hastening to perform righteous deeds. 56 00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:40,150 No time comes 57 00:03:40,150 --> 00:03:44,150 But that the one after it is harder on the people than it. 58 00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:47,379 The spread of corruption at the end of time. 59 00:03:47,379 --> 00:03:51,659 Not rebelling against rulers and authorities 60 00:03:51,659 --> 00:03:54,659 Unless they commit clear disbelief, 61 00:03:54,659 --> 00:03:58,860 Regarding which the Ummah has proof from Allah. 62 00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:02,860 Repelling a greater harm with a lesser harm. 63 00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:05,860 For Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 64 00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:08,860 If he had permitted them to rebel against al-Hajjaj, 65 00:04:08,860 --> 00:04:13,860 Harms and strife would have occurred, the consequences of which only Allah knows. 66 00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:20,069 But he commanded them to be patient for fear of that happening. 67 00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:23,069 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 68 00:04:23,069 --> 00:04:27,139 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 69 00:04:27,139 --> 00:04:30,139 "Hasten to perform deeds before seven things: 70 00:04:30,139 --> 00:04:34,139 Are you waiting for anything but poverty that makes you forget, 71 00:04:34,139 --> 00:04:36,139 Or wealth that makes you arrogant, 72 00:04:36,139 --> 00:04:38,139 Or illness that corrupts, 73 00:04:38,139 --> 00:04:41,139 Or senility that makes you doting, 74 00:04:41,139 --> 00:04:43,139 Or death that comes suddenly, 75 00:04:43,139 --> 00:04:45,139 Or the Dajjal, 76 00:04:45,139 --> 00:04:47,139 Who is the worst hidden thing to be awaited, 77 00:04:47,139 --> 00:04:49,139 Or the Hour? 78 00:04:49,139 --> 00:04:52,329 The Hour is more grievous and more bitter." 79 00:04:52,329 --> 00:04:55,350 Narrated by al-Tirmidhi. 80 00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:58,449 "Hasten" means compete. 81 00:04:58,449 --> 00:05:00,449 "Wealth that makes you arrogant" 82 00:05:00,449 --> 00:05:05,639 Means it leads its possessor to exceed the limits in sins. 83 00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,639 "Senility that makes you doting" 84 00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:09,639 Means causing one to fall into dotage, 85 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,639 Which is speech that deviates from soundness. 86 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:14,800 "Death that comes suddenly" 87 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,120 Means killing quickly. 88 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,120 "The Hour is more grievous and more bitter" 89 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,120 Means a greater calamity and more bitter than the torment of this world. 90 00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:29,339 From the benefits of the hadith: 91 00:05:29,339 --> 00:05:34,589 Information about the Dajjal, who is one of the signs of the Hour. 92 00:05:34,589 --> 00:05:38,879 That the torment of this world is lighter than the torment of the Hereafter. 93 00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:42,879 A person must hasten to perform righteous deeds 94 00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:46,069 Before obstacles to them draw near. 95 00:05:46,069 --> 00:05:49,069 That among the most important things that distract a person from good are: 96 00:05:49,069 --> 00:05:54,069 Severe poverty, wealth, illness, and senility. 97 00:05:54,069 --> 00:06:01,329 A believer must take advantage of the occasions in which opportunities for good deeds are available to him, 98 00:06:01,329 --> 00:06:04,329 Because they are not permanent, 99 00:06:04,329 --> 00:06:11,189 Like a merchant who watches for seasons to obtain large profits. 100 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:14,189 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 101 00:06:14,189 --> 00:06:19,189 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said on the day of Khaybar: 102 00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:24,290 "I will certainly give this banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, 103 00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:27,350 And through whose hands Allah will grant victory." 104 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:29,350 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 105 00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:33,350 "I never loved leadership except on that day, 106 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:38,350 So I stood tall in hope that I would be called for it." 107 00:06:38,350 --> 00:06:45,350 But the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, called 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, 108 00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:47,350 And gave it to him. 109 00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:53,350 He said, "Go and do not look back until Allah grants you victory." 110 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:58,480 'Ali walked a little, then stopped and did not look back. 111 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,480 He shouted, "O Messenger of Allah, for what should I fight the people?" 112 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:10,480 He said, "Fight them until they testify that there is no god but Allah, 113 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,480 And that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 114 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,480 If they do that, 115 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,480 They have protected their blood and wealth from you, except for its due right, 116 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,480 And their reckoning is with Allah." 117 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,670 Narrated by Muslim. 118 00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:28,180 "Stood tall" 119 00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:31,180 Means I jumped up, looking forward. 120 00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:33,300 Khaybar: 121 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:37,300 A large city with fortresses and farms, 122 00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:41,589 Located north of Medina towards the Levant. 123 00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:42,589 "Shouted" 124 00:07:42,589 --> 00:07:44,589 Means he raised his voice. 125 00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:47,300 From the benefits of the hadith: 126 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:53,680 The standard-bearers should be among those who love Allah and His Messenger. 127 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,680 This is the characteristic of the party of Allah, the mujahideen. 128 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,970 The Companions used to dislike leadership 129 00:08:00,970 --> 00:08:03,970 Because of the great responsibility it entails. 130 00:08:03,970 --> 00:08:09,290 The permissibility of aspiring and looking forward to a matter whose goodness is confirmed. 131 00:08:09,290 --> 00:08:12,639 The Imam's guidance to the army commander 132 00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:16,639 On how to act on the battlefield. 133 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:21,930 The commitment of the Companions of the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to his instructions, 134 00:08:21,930 --> 00:08:24,930 And their haste to implement them. 135 00:08:24,930 --> 00:08:29,220 Whoever finds something unclear regarding what he has been tasked with, 136 00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:31,220 Should ask about it. 137 00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:34,570 Love of Allah and His Messenger 138 00:08:34,570 --> 00:08:37,570 Is only through faith in them 139 00:08:37,570 --> 00:08:40,919 And following what they have commanded. 140 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,919 A miracle of the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 141 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,919 As he informed of an unseen matter, 142 00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:48,919 And it was as he informed, 143 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,139 Which was the conquest of Khaybar. 144 00:08:51,139 --> 00:08:54,139 It is not permissible to kill one who has uttered the two testimonies of faith, 145 00:08:54,139 --> 00:08:58,139 Unless something appears from him that warrants killing, 146 00:08:58,139 --> 00:09:00,139 Such as intentional murder, 147 00:09:00,139 --> 00:09:02,139 Or denying something of the religion 148 00:09:02,139 --> 00:09:05,399 That necessitates disbelief and apostasy. 149 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:07,399 The rulings of Islam are applied 150 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,399 Based on what is apparent from people, 151 00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:12,399 And Allah takes charge of their inner secrets. 152 00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:15,590 Zakat is taken by force 153 00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:19,750 If its owner does not pay it willingly. 154 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:23,750 Riyad al-Salihin.
