In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:07
With pens of longing,
0:09
And the ink of love,
0:11
We record lines more precious than gold,
0:15
In describing the Master of Creation,
0:17
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:20
The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il).
0:30
Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the kohl of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:35
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both,
0:40
That the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:44
"Use antimony (ithmid) for kohl,
0:46
For it clears the vision,
0:49
And promotes hair growth."
0:51
On the authority of Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
0:55
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:59
"You should use antimony at bedtime,
1:02
For it clears the vision,
1:05
And promotes hair growth."
1:09
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
1:13
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:17
"The best of your kohl is antimony;
1:20
It clears the vision,
1:22
And promotes hair growth."
1:24
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
1:28
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:32
"You should use antimony,
1:35
For it clears the vision,
1:37
And promotes hair growth."
1:41
Kohl is a type of stone;
1:43
Some of it is black in color,
1:45
And some of it leans
1:47
Toward a reddish hue,
1:49
And both are referred to as
1:51
Antimony (ithmid).
1:53
It is easily crumbled,
1:55
And is ground thoroughly
1:57
Until it becomes fine,
1:59
Then it is applied to the eye
2:01
Using an applicator or similar tool.
2:03
It has been narrated that the Prophet,
2:05
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
2:07
Recommended using it specifically.
2:09
Regarding the application of antimony,
2:11
The scholars have mentioned
2:13
Its benefits,
2:15
The essence of which was compiled by the scholar
2:17
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him,
2:19
Who said:
2:21
"Kohl preserves the health of the eye,
2:23
Strengthens the power of sight,
2:25
Clears it,
2:27
And draws out
2:29
Harmful substances,
2:31
Removing them,
2:33
While also serving as an adornment in some forms.
2:35
It has added merit when used at bedtime,
2:37
Because the eye is then
2:39
Enclosed with the kohl,
2:41
And remains at rest thereafter,
2:43
Free from movements that might harm it,
2:45
Allowing nature to benefit from it."
2:47
Antimony possesses
2:49
A specific property in this regard.
2:52
His statement "it clears
2:54
The vision" means it clarifies,
2:56
Improving one's sight
2:58
And increasing the light of the eye.
3:00
His statement "it promotes hair growth,"
3:02
The hair intended
3:04
Here is the eyelashes,
3:06
Which Allah has made
3:08
As a protection for the eye,
3:10
And a fence for its lids.
3:12
On the authority of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib,
3:14
May Allah be pleased with him,
3:16
That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
3:18
Said:
3:20
"You should use antimony,
3:22
For it promotes hair growth,
3:24
Removes harmful particles,
3:26
And purifies the vision."
3:28
His statement
3:30
"At bedtime" contains [wisdom].
3:32
He said,
3:36
And al-Qari, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
3:38
"Citing worldly benefits
3:40
As the reason for the command
3:42
To use kohl does not negate
3:44
The fact that the command is for the Sunnah,
3:46
Especially since there occurred
3:48
His consistent practice of it,
3:50
And his verbal encouragements,
3:52
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
3:54
Those benefits
3:56
Are a means toward otherworldly matters."
3:58
In this reasoning,
4:00
There is a subtle indication
4:02
That the one applying kohl,
4:04
If he intends to fulfill the Sunnah,
4:06
Should intend by his application
4:08
Treatment and medicine,
4:10
Not mere adornment like women.
4:12
Therefore,
4:14
Imam Malik held the view
4:16
That applying kohl for men is disliked
4:18
Generally,
4:20
Unless it is for medical treatment.
4:22
It is also prescribed to apply kohl
4:24
In odd numbers,
4:26
For it has been established that he applied it in odd numbers.
4:28
Regarding his statement,
4:30
As for his action,
4:32
It is narrated from Anas Ibn Malik,
4:34
May Allah be pleased with him,
4:36
That the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
4:38
Used to apply kohl in odd numbers.
4:40
As for his statement,
4:42
It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
4:44
That the Messenger of Allah,
4:46
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
4:48
Said:
4:50
"If one of you applies kohl,
4:52
Let him apply it in odd numbers,
4:54
And if he cleans himself with stones (istijmar),
4:56
Let him do so in odd numbers."
4:58
A benefit:
5:02
It has been established in reality
5:04
That some of what is sold as
5:06
Antimony is not free from adulteration,
5:08
Being mixed
5:10
With a type of lead that is ground
5:12
Along with it, or it contains some
5:14
Contamination,
5:16
In which case it becomes harmful,
5:18
Not beneficial.
5:20
Therefore, a person should
5:22
Be careful to obtain good antimony
5:24
That he is confident
5:26
Is safe.
5:30
Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the clothing
5:32
Of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be
5:34
Upon him.
5:37
Meaning, an explanation of what has been reported
5:39
Regarding the description of the clothing of the Messenger of Allah,
5:41
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
5:43
From the hadiths and what relates
5:45
To clothing regarding rulings
5:47
And etiquette.
5:49
The scholars have mentioned
5:51
That clothing is subject to
5:53
The five legal rulings:
5:55
It may be obligatory,
5:57
Such as covering the 'awrah from eyes,
5:59
Or recommended,
6:01
Such as a fine garment
6:03
For the two Eids and Friday,
6:05
Or prohibited,
6:07
Such as wearing silk for men,
6:09
Or disliked,
6:11
Such as wearing ragged clothes constantly
6:13
For the wealthy,
6:15
Or permissible,
6:17
Which is everything else.
6:21
On the authority of Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her,
6:23
She said:
6:25
"The most beloved of garments to the Messenger of Allah,
6:27
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was the qamis (shirt)."
6:31
In this hadith,
6:33
The Mother of the Believers,
6:35
Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, informs us
6:37
That the most beloved of garments to the Prophet,
6:39
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
6:41
Was the qamis.
6:43
The qamis is the garment
6:45
And well-known tunic,
6:47
Having sleeves into which one inserts
6:49
The hands, and an opening
6:51
For the neck.
6:53
The qamis was called a qamis
6:55
Because a person "enters" (yataqammas)
6:57
Into it,
6:59
Meaning he enters into it to cover himself.
7:01
The scholars said:
7:03
The qamis was the most beloved
7:05
Of garments to the Messenger of Allah,
7:07
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
7:09
Because it covers the body better
7:11
Than the izar (waist-wrapper) and the rida' (upper garment),
7:13
Which require
7:15
Much tying and holding in place,
7:17
Just as it is comfortable
7:19
In movement,
7:21
And light to put on and take off.
7:24
On the authority of Mu'awiyah Ibn Qurrah,
7:26
From his father, who said:
7:28
"I came to the Messenger of Allah,
7:30
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
7:32
With a delegation from Muzaynah
7:34
We shall pledge our allegiance to him.
7:36
And his shirt is indeed loose-fitting.
7:38
Or he said:
7:40
Button his shirt completely.
7:42
He said:
7:44
So I reached my hand into the pocket of his shirt.
7:46
So I touched the ring.
7:48
In this hadith
7:51
Mu'awiyah Ibn Qurrah reports
7:53
On the authority of Abu...
7:55
The strength of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
7:57
Among a group from the tribe of Muzaynah.
7:59
So that they might pledge their allegiance to him upon Islam.
8:01
And the group of men.
8:03
They are the people who, between
8:05
From three to ten.
8:07
And his statement, "And his shirt."
8:09
In an absolute sense.
8:11
Or he may unbutton his shirt entirely.
8:13
Meaning, if he buttons his shirt.
8:15
It is not closed.
8:18
And fastening the button of one's shirt.
8:20
It is the fundamental basis.
8:22
And if there is a need
8:24
There is no harm in that.
8:26
And the fact that some people strive to follow the Sunnah
8:28
in its absolute sense.
8:30
For this, there is no known precedent.
8:32
This is clear evidence of its legitimacy.
8:34
This hadith
8:36
That does not indicate such a conclusion.
8:38
Neither directly nor indirectly.
8:40
For he does not know whether
8:42
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, opened it.
8:44
As an act of worship and in accordance with the Sunnah.
8:46
Or perhaps he opened it.
8:48
For one reason or another.
8:50
Either due to the intensity of the heat
8:52
In the heart.
8:54
Or anything similar to that.
8:56
Rather, what is most likely the case is
8:58
That he did not do so as an act of Sunnah.
9:00
For had this been the case,
9:02
It is part of the Sunnah
9:04
He did not establish the button as a fundamental principle.
9:06
And his statement, "So I entered."
9:08
My hand was inside the pocket of his shirt.
9:10
So I touched the dark-colored one.
9:12
Meaning, that Qurrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
9:14
He inserted his hand into his garment.
9:16
The shirt of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
9:18
And the pocket.
9:20
It is the place of insertion.
9:22
The collar of the shirt.
9:24
He then touched the Seal of Prophethood with his hand.
9:26
Upon his back.
9:28
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
9:30
And on the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,
9:33
Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him.
9:35
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
9:37
He went out while he was
9:39
He leans upon Usamah Ibn Zayd.
9:41
He was wearing a garment.
9:43
Qatari [Ibn al-Fuja'ah] had girded himself [with his sword].
9:45
He prayed with it.
9:47
through them
9:51
The noble Companion informs us
9:53
Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him
9:55
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
9:57
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
9:59
He went out leaning upon
10:01
Usamah Ibn Zayd
10:03
In another narration,
10:05
He went out accompanied by Usamah Ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him.
10:07
And al-Fadl Ibn al-'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him.
10:09
During the illness in which he passed away.
10:11
The intended meaning is
10:13
He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:15
He departed from his house.
10:17
He was leaning on some of his Companions.
10:19
Due to his weakness caused by illness.
10:21
And his statement
10:23
And he was wearing a Qatari garment.
10:25
The Qatari garment
10:27
It is a type of fabric.
10:29
From a single red piece.
10:31
It has its own distinct markers.
10:33
It contains a certain degree of coarseness.
10:35
He bore it from before the time of Bahrain.
10:37
And his statement, "He had wrapped himself in his garment."
10:39
through it
10:41
The term *tawashuh* (wrapping oneself in a garment) refers, in its original linguistic sense, to...
10:43
Wearing the shawl.
10:45
It is said
10:47
with his sword
10:49
When he places it upon his shoulder.
10:51
Like a sash.
10:53
The intended meaning here is
10:55
That he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:57
He tucked the garment under his right arm.
10:59
And he cast it over his shoulder.
11:01
The easier path.
11:03
Just as the one in the state of ihram does.
11:06
And his statement, "So he led them in prayer."
11:08
O Imam.
11:10
And it is narrated from Humayd that he said
11:12
The final prayer
11:14
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, performed it.
11:16
while he was with the people during his illness.
11:18
The year in which he passed away.
11:20
In a single garment.
11:22
He was sitting while wrapped in it.
11:24
A benefit.
11:27
'Abd ibn Humayd said:
11:29
Muhammad Ibn al-Fadl said:
11:31
Yahya Ibn Ma'in asked me
11:33
Regarding this hadith, the first thing he did upon sitting down was...
11:35
So I said to him
11:37
Hammad Ibn Salamah narrated to us.
11:39
He then said
11:41
If it were from your book
11:43
So I stood up to leave.
11:45
My book.
11:47
He then took hold of my garment and said
11:49
He dictated it to me.
11:51
For I truly fear.
11:53
Shall I not meet with you?
11:55
He said, "So I dictated it to him."
11:57
Then I brought out my book.
11:59
So I recited it to him.
12:01
In this narration
12:03
That Muhammad Ibn al-Fadl
12:05
He intended to narrate the chain of transmission from memory.
12:07
Ibn Ma‘in then requested it of him.
12:09
That he should derive it from His Book.
12:11
Because he is the most precise.
12:13
Then, when Ibn Ma'in stood up
12:15
Let him bring forth his book, based upon that.
12:17
Upon his request, he took possession.
12:19
on his garment, and then he said
12:21
He hoped for it to be fulfilled for him.
12:23
...from what you have memorized, for I
12:25
I fear that I will not meet you.
12:27
This stems from intense eagerness.
12:29
and the careful management of time
12:31
and the fear that it might prevent
12:33
Death is between them, or some of them [will die].
12:35
The obstacles, and He dictated it.
12:37
...from what he has memorized of it.
12:39
Then He brought forth His Book.
12:41
... from His Book.
12:43
Once again
12:45
And in this narration
12:47
A clarification of the eagerness of the salaf
12:49
May Allah have mercy on them.
12:51
And their intense care
12:53
with the hadiths of the Messenger
12:55
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
12:57
and their certainty in it
12:59
In the narration
13:01
and the eagerness to acquire knowledge
13:03
While not saying "hope"
13:05
and the desire for this world
13:09
The hadith will continue, Allah willing.
13:11
Allah knows best.
13:13
And may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet.
13:15
Muhammad
13:17
and his family and his Companions.
13:19
all of them
