Chapter: Miscellaneous Sayings and Admonitions
0:17
And from 'Awf ibn Malik ibn al-Tufayl,
0:20
that 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,
0:23
narrated that 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, may Allah be pleased with them both,
0:27
said regarding a sale or a gift
0:29
that 'A'ishah, may Allah the Exalted be pleased with her, gave him,
0:33
"By Allah, 'A'ishah must stop,
0:36
or I will place her under guardianship."
0:39
She said, "Did he say this?"
0:42
They said, "Yes."
0:44
She said, "It is a vow to Allah upon me
0:48
that I will never speak to Ibn al-Zubayr again."
0:51
So Ibn al-Zubayr sought mediation through her when the estrangement had lasted a long time.
0:55
She said, "By Allah, no.
0:58
I will never intercede for him,
1:01
nor will I break my vow."
1:04
When 'Ali ibn al-Zubayr said this,
1:07
he spoke to al-Miswar ibn Makhramah
1:10
and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad ibn 'Abd Yaghuth.
1:13
He said to them,
1:15
"I adjure you by Allah,
1:17
that you bring me to 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,
1:21
for it is not permissible for her to vow to cut ties with me."
1:26
So al-Miswar and 'Abd al-Rahman brought him,
1:29
until they sought permission to enter upon 'A'ishah.
1:32
He said,
1:34
"Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings."
1:38
"May we enter?"
1:40
'A'ishah said,
1:42
"Enter."
1:43
They said, "All of us."
1:45
She said, "Yes.
1:47
Enter, all of you."
1:49
And she did not know that Ibn al-Zubayr was with them.
1:52
When they entered,
1:54
Ibn al-Zubayr entered the inner chamber.
1:57
He embraced 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,
2:00
and began to implore her and weep.
2:03
And al-Miswar and 'Abd al-Rahman began to implore her,
2:07
"Speak to him and accept from him."
2:10
And they said,
2:12
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade what you know of estrangement,
2:18
and it is not permissible for a Muslim to forsake his brother for more than three nights."
2:23
When they pressed 'A'ishah with reminders and earnest appeals,
2:29
she began to remind them, weeping and saying,
2:33
"Indeed, I have made a vow,
2:35
and a vow is a serious matter."
2:37
They continued to press her
2:39
until she spoke to Ibn al-Zubayr,
2:42
and in fulfillment of her vow, she freed forty slaves.
2:46
She would remember her vow after that,
2:50
and weep until her tears soaked her head covering.
2:54
Narrated by Bukhari.
2:58
"or I will place her under guardianship."
3:00
Meaning, I will prevent her from disposing of her wealth.
3:04
"I will never intercede for him."
3:07
Meaning, I will not accept anyone's intercession.
3:10
"I will not break my vow."
3:12
Meaning, I will not incur sin by breaking my vow.
3:17
"I adjure you by Allah."
3:19
Meaning, I ask you, swearing by Allah the Exalted.
3:25
"And he began."
3:26
Meaning, he started.
3:28
"to implore her."
3:29
Meaning, to ask her.
3:31
"her head covering."
3:33
Meaning, her head and chest covering.
3:36
From the benefits of the hadith:
3:40
The permissibility of placing a foolish person under guardianship,
3:42
who squanders their wealth and wastes it.
3:46
The permissibility of guardianship if it is for the sake of Allah the Exalted.
3:51
And it is forbidden for more than three nights
3:54
if it is for a worldly matter and personal desire.
3:58
Clarification of the manner of seeking permission and its etiquette,
4:01
as in the statement of al-Miswar ibn Makhramah
4:04
and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad.
4:06
"Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
4:10
May we enter?"
4:12
The permissibility of accompanying a visiting guest.
4:15
If permission to enter is granted, he enters.
4:18
If permission is not granted, he returns.
4:22
Believers are brothers.
4:24
Therefore, reconciliation between those who are in dispute among them is recommended.
4:28
It is not permissible to make a vow to disobey Allah.
4:31
Therefore, a vow is only valid if it is for something permissible.
4:37
Whoever makes a vow and then sees that something else is better than it,
4:40
let him do what is better,
4:43
and make expiation for his oath.
4:47
And from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir, may Allah be pleased with him,
4:50
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
4:53
went out to the martyrs of Uhud.
4:56
He prayed for them after eight years,
4:59
as if bidding farewell to the living and the dead.
5:03
Then he ascended the pulpit and said,
5:06
"I am a precursor for you,
5:09
and I am a witness over you.
5:12
And your appointment is the Pool.
5:14
And indeed, I am looking at it from my place here.
5:20
Verily, I do not fear that you will associate partners with Allah,
5:24
but I fear for you the world,
5:27
that you will compete for it."
5:29
He said,
5:31
"So it was the last look I took
5:34
at the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."
5:37
Agreed upon.
5:40
And in another narration:
5:42
"But I fear for you the world,
5:45
that you will compete for it,
5:47
and fight each other,
5:49
and perish as those before you perished."
5:53
'Uqbah said,
5:56
"So it was the last time I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on the pulpit."
6:02
And in another narration, he said:
6:05
"I am a precursor for you,
6:07
and I am a witness over you.
6:10
And by Allah, I am looking at the Pool right now.
6:14
And indeed, you have been given the keys to the treasuries of the earth,
6:18
or the keys to the earth.
6:20
And by Allah, I do not fear for you that you will associate partners with me after me,
6:26
but I fear for you that you will compete for it."
6:31
And what is meant by praying for the martyrs of Uhud
6:36
is supplicating for them,
6:38
not the known prayer.
6:40
"Farṭ"
6:43
Meaning, one who has gone ahead for you.

and vying for it.

7:12

7:15
is destructive to religion and divisive to unity.
7:18

And from Abu Zayd 'Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb al-Anṣārī, may Allah be pleased with him, he said:
7:55

leaving them upon a clear, pure path.
8:55
The varying capacities of people in memorization and understanding.
8:58

9:07
And from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, she said:
9:13

9:32

10:29
he will have such and such number of good deeds."
10:32
And in another narration:
10:34

10:37
