I raced with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and I overtook him. When I got pregnant, he raced with me and he overtook me, so he said, O Aisha, this one with that one.
سابقت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسبقته فلما حملت من اللحم سابقني فسبقني فقال يا عائشة هذه بتلك
I went out with the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, on some of his travels, and I was a slave woman. I did not carry meat and I did not look fat. He said to the people, “Go forward,” and they advanced. Then he said to me, “Come, so that I may race with you.” So I raced with him, and I raced with him, but he remained silent about me. Even when I carried meat and became fat and forgot, I went out with him on some of his travels. He said to the people, “Go forward,” and they advanced. Then he said, “Come, so that I may race with you.” So I raced with him, and he raced with me, and he started laughing while saying this and that.
خرجت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في بعض أسفاره وأنا جارية لم أحمل اللحم ولم أبدن فقال للناس تقدموا فتقدموا ثم قال لي تعالي حتى أسابقك فسابقته فسبقته فسكت عني حتى إذا حملت اللحم وبدنت ونسيت خرجت معه في بعض أسفاره فقال للناس تقدموا فتقدموا ثم قال تعالي حتى أسابقك فسابقته فسبقني فجعل يضحك وهو يقول هذه بتلك
So I raced to him, and he raced past me, so he hit me between my shoulders and said, “This one, that one.”
فسابقته فسبقني فضرب بين كتفي وقال هذه بتلك
She was with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, on a journey. He said to his companions, “Go ahead,” and they went ahead. He said to me, “Come, so that I may race with you.” So I raced with him, so I preceded him. When he was still gone, I went out with him on a journey. He said to his companions, “Go ahead.” So they came forward. He said, “Come, I will race with you,” and I forgot what happened, and I had carried the meat. I said, “How can I race with you, O Messenger of God, when I am in this state?” He said, “You will do that.” So I raced with him, so he preceded me, and he said, “This is with that race.”
أنها كانت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في سفر فقال لأصحابه تقدموا فتقدموا فقال لي تعالي حتى أسابقك فسابقته فسبقته فلما كان بعد خرجت معه في سفر فقال لأصحابه تقدموا فتقدموا فقال تعالي أسابقك ونسيت الذي كان وقد حملت اللحم فقلت وكيف أسابقك يا رسول الله وأنا على هذه الحالة قال لتفعلن فسابقته فسبقني وقال هذه بتلك السبقة

O Aisha, seek refuge in God from the evil of this darkness when it approaches
يا عائشة تعوذي بالله من شر هذا الغاسق إذا وقب
When the night becomes dark, the demons of the jinn and mankind spread throughout it, seeking refuge from the moon because it is the sign of the night
وهو الليل إذا أظلم فإنه ينتشر فيه شياطين الجن والإنس والاستعاذة من القمر لأنه آية الليل
The moon is the sign of the night, and so are the stars. They only rise and are seen at night, so he commanded him to seek refuge from that. He commanded him to seek refuge from the sign of the night, its evidence, and its sign, and the evidence is necessary for the signified. If the evil of the moon exists, then the evil of the night exists, and the moon has an effect that no one else has, so seeking refuge from the evil resulting from it is stronger.
فالقمر آية الليل وكذلك النجوم إنما تطلع فترى بالليل فأمره بالاستعاذة من ذلك أمر بالاستعاذة من آية الليل ودليله وعلامته والدليل مستلزم للمدلول فإذا كان شر القمر موجود فشر الليل موجود وللقمر من التأثير ما ليس لغيره فتكون الاستعاذة من الشر الحاصل عنه أقوى
So, Glory be to Him, He mentioned seeking refuge from the evil of creation in general, then he specified the command to seek refuge from the evil of the dark when it approaches, which is the time in which its evil is widespread.
فذكر سبحانه لاستعاذة من شر الخلق عموما ثم خص الأمر بالاستعاذة من شر الغاسق إذا وقب وهو الزمان الذي يعم شره
Surah Al-Falaq contains recovery from the evil of creatures in general and in particular, and that is why it is said about the Lord of Al-Falaq, and it is said about this, about the Lord of people, for the separation of dawning with light removes, with the good in its light, the evil in the darkness, and the separation of love and nuclei after tying them removes what is in the knot of jets, for the dividing of love and nuclei is greater than the untying of tying of jets. Likewise, envy is a result of a person’s distress and miserliness, and his chest does not expand due to God’s blessings upon him. So the Lord of Al-Falaq removes what happens through the distress of the envier. His stinginess, and He, Glory be to Him, does not create anything except good. He creates the morning with the guiding light and the radiant lamp that brings prosperity to the servants. He divides love and seeds with the various types of fruits and sustenances that are the sustenance of people and animals, and man is in need of bringing benefit from guidance and sustenance, and this occurs through separation. A thing from a thing is evidence of complete power and bringing a thing out of its opposite, just as the living comes out of the dead and the dead out of the living. This is a type of splitting, for God Almighty is able to repel the harmful with the beneficial opposite.
وسورة الفلق فيها الاستعادة من شر المخلوقات عموما وخصوصا ولهذا قيل فيها برب الفلق وقيل في هذه برب الناس فإن فالق الإصباح بالنور يزيل بما في نوره من الخير ما في الظلمة من الشر وفالق الحب والنوى بعد عقادهما يزيل ما في عقد النفاثات فإن فلق الحب والنوى أعظم من حل عقد النفاثات وكذلك الحسد هو من ضيق الإنسان وشحه لا ينشرح صدره لإنعام الله عليه فرب الفلق يزيل ما يحصل بضيق الحاسد وشحه وهو سبحانه لا يفلق شيئا إلا بخير فهو فالق الإصباح بالنور الهادي والسراج الوهاج الذي به صلاح العباد وفالق الحب والنوى بأنواع الفواكه والأقوات التي هي رزق الناس والدواب بهم والإنسان محتاج إلى جلب المنفعة من الهدى والرزق وهذا حاصل بالفلق والرب الذي فلق للناس ما تحصل به منافعهم يستعاذ به مما يضر الناس فيطلب منه تمام نعمته بصرف المؤذيات عن عبده الذي ابتدأ بإنعامه عليه وفلق الشيء عن الشيء هو دليل على تمام القدرة وإخراج الشيء من ضده كما يخرج الحي من الميت والميت من الحي وهذا من نوع الفلق فهو سبحانه قادر على دفع ضد المؤذي بالضد النافع
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was a man who was easy to follow when identifying a thing
وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رجلا سهلا إذا هوية الشيء تابعها عليه
I used to love to enter the house and pray in it, so the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, took my hand and led me into the stone. He said, “O Aisha, when your people built the Kaaba, they shortened it and took the stone out of the house. If you wanted to pray in the house, pray in the stone, for it is only a piece of the house.”
كنت أحب أن أدخل البيت فأصلي فيه فأخذ رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيدي فأدخلَني الحِجر فقال يا عائشة إن قومك لما بنوا الكعبة استقصروا فأخرجوا الحِجر من البيت فإذا أردت أن تصلي في البيت فصلي في الحِجر فإنما هو قطعةٌ من البيت
I asked the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, about the safest walls in the house? He said, “Yes.” I said, “What is the matter with them that they did not enter it into the house?” He said, “Your people were short of spending on it.” I said, “Why is it that its door is so high?” He said, “On that account, your people may let whoever they want and prevent it from whoever they want.” Were it not that your people are new to the pre-Islamic period, I fear that their hearts will disapprove of me entering the walls into the house and sticking its door to the ground.
سألت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الجدر أمن البيت هو؟ قال نعم قلت فما لهم لم يدخلوه في البيت قال إن قومك قصرت به من نفقة قلت فما شأن بابه مرتفعا قال فعلى ذاك قومك ليدخلوه من شاء ويمنعوه من شاء لولا أن قومك حديثٌ عهدهم بالجاهلية فأخاف أن تنكر قلوبهم أن أدخل الجدر في البيت وأن ألصق بابه في الأرض
Do you not want anything to enter your house or leave except with your knowledge? I said, “Yes.” He said, “Wait, Aisha, do not count, so God Almighty will count for you.”
أما تريدين ألا يدخل بيتك شيءٌ ولا يخرج إلا بعلمك قلت نعم قال مهلاً يا عائشة لا تحصي فيحصي الله عز وجل عليك
Statistics mean knowing its size, weight, or number
الإحصاء للشيء معرفة قدره أو وزنه أو عدده
That is, do not rely on knowing the amount of your spending. In another hadith, do not be aware and another, do not rely, all of which is a metaphor for constraining and frugality.
أي لا تتكل في معرفة قدر انفاقك وفي حديث آخر لا توعي وآخر لا توكي كله كناية عن الإمساك والتقتير
This is because it counts what it counts for preservation and reserve, so it is counted for it by cutting off the blessing and preventing the addition
وذلك أنها تحصي ما تحصي للتبقية والذخر فيحصى عليها بقطع البركة ومنع الزيادة
The meaning is that it is forbidden to withhold friendship for fear of running out, for that is the greatest reason for cutting off the substance of blessing, because God rewards giving without reckoning, and whoever is not held accountable when rewarded, will not be held accountable when giving, and whoever knows that God provides for him from where he does not expect, his right is to give and not reckon.
والمعنى أن نهي عن منع الصداقة خشية النفاد فإن ذلك أعظم الأسباب لقطع مادة البركة لأن الله يثيب على العطاء بغير حساب ومن لا يحاسب عند الجزاء لا يحسب عليه عند العطاء ومن علم أن الله يرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب فحقه أن يعطي ولا يحسب
Meaning: Do not count what you give, lest you increase it and it becomes a reason for it to cease, so God counts it against you
معنى لا تحصي ما تعطين فتستكثريه فيكون سببا لانقطاعه فيحصي الله عليك
