Chapter: The Imam Turning to Face the People Upon Delivering the Salutation.
0:21
Narrated Samurah ibn Jundab (may Allah be pleased with him):
0:26
In another narration:
0:28
Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) finished a prayer, he would turn his face toward us.
0:36
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) frequently used to ask his Companions:
0:42
"Has any of you seen a dream?"
0:46
He said:
0:47
So whoever Allah willed would recount their dream to him.
0:51
One morning he said:
0:54
"Last night, two visitors came to me,
0:57
and they raised me up."
1:00
In another narration:
1:01
"So they took me by the hand,
1:03
and brought me out to the Holy Land.
1:07
They said to me:
1:09
'Proceed.'
1:10
So I set out with them,
1:13
and we came upon a man lying down,
1:16
while another man was standing over him holding a boulder.
1:20
He was hurling the boulder at his head,
1:23
crushing his head with it.
1:26
In another narration:
1:27
He would shatter his head with it,
1:29
and the stone would roll away over here.
1:32
So he would go after the stone and retrieve it,
1:34
and before he returned, the man's head would restore to its original state.
1:39
Then he would return to him
1:41
and do to him just as he did the first time.
1:46
He said:
1:47
I said to them:
1:48
'Glory be to Allah! What are these two?'
1:52
He said:
1:53
They said to me:
1:54
'Proceed, proceed!'
1:56
He said:
1:57
So we proceeded,
1:59
and came upon a man lying flat on his back,
2:03
while another man stood over him with an iron hook.
2:08
He would insert it into one side of his face,
2:11
tearing his cheek to the back of his neck,
2:14
his nostril to the back of his neck,
2:17
and his eye to the back of his neck.
2:19
He would tear it open,
2:21
then turn to the other side
2:24
and do to it as he had done to the first side.
2:28
He would hardly finish with that side
2:31
before the first side was restored to its original state.
2:35
Then he would return to him
2:36
and do just as he did the first time.
2:40
He said:
2:41
I said:
2:42
'Glory be to Allah! What are these two?'
2:46
He said:
2:47
They said to me:
2:48
'Proceed, proceed!'
2:50
So we proceeded,
2:52
and came upon the likes of a tannur oven,
2:55
from which clamor and voices were echoing.
2:58
He said:
2:59
So we looked inside,
3:01
and there were naked men and women.
3:04
Flames were reaching them from beneath them,
3:09
and whenever those flames reached them, they shrieked in agony.
3:13
In another narration:
3:14
So we proceeded to an opening like a tannur oven,
3:18
narrow at the top and wide at the bottom,
3:22
beneath which a fire was blazing.
3:25
Whenever the flames surged,
3:26
they rose until they almost came out;
3:29
and whenever it subsided,
3:31
they fell back into it.
3:33
He said:
3:34
I asked them: 'Who are these people?'
3:38
He said:
3:39
They said to me:
3:40
'Proceed, proceed!'
3:42
He said:
3:43
So we proceeded,
3:45
and came upon a river red as blood.
3:49
In the river was a man swimming,
3:53
and on the riverbank stood a man who had gathered many stones beside him.
3:59
The swimmer swam as much as he swam,
4:03
then came to the one who had gathered the stones.
4:07
The man opened his mouth wide for him,
4:09
and he threw a stone into his mouth.
4:11
Then he went off swimming again,
4:13
and returned to him once more.
4:15
Every time he returned, he opened his mouth wide,
4:19
and he threw a stone into his mouth.
4:21
He said:
4:22
I asked them: 'What are these two?'
4:25
He said:
4:26
They said to me:
4:28
'Proceed, proceed!'
4:30
He said:
4:31
So we proceeded,
4:33
and came upon a man of hideous appearance,
4:36
as hideous as any man you could ever see.
4:40
Beside him was a fire that he was rekindling and running around.
4:45
He said:
4:46
I asked them:
4:47
'What is this?'
4:49
He said:
4:50
They said to me:
4:52
'Proceed, proceed!'
4:54
So we proceeded,
4:55
and came upon a lush garden, dense with greenery,
4:59
blooming with every color of spring blossom.
5:02
In the midst of the garden
5:04
was a very tall man,
5:06
whose head I could hardly see due to his height reaching into the sky.
5:10
Around him were more children than I had ever seen before.
5:15
In another narration:
5:17
So we proceeded until we reached a green garden,
5:21
in which stood a magnificent tree.
5:23
At its base was an old man and some children.
5:26
Near the tree was a man
5:29
stoking a fire in front of him.
5:32
They took me up into the tree,
5:35
and brought me into an abode better than any I had ever seen,
5:39
wherein were elderly men, young men,
5:42
women, and children.
5:45
Then they brought me out of it
5:47
and took me further up the tree,
5:49
bringing me into an abode that was even finer and superior,
5:53
wherein were elderly men and young men.
5:56
He said:
5:57
I asked them: 'What is this?
6:00
Who are these people?'
6:02
He said:
6:03
They said to me:
6:04
'Proceed, proceed!'
6:06
He said:
6:08
So we proceeded,
6:09
and reached a magnificent garden,
6:12
greater and finer than any garden I had ever seen.
6:17
He said:
6:18
They said to me:
6:19
'Ascend into it.'
6:21
He said:
6:22
So we ascended into it,
6:24
and reached a city built of bricks of gold and silver.
6:31
We came to the city gate
6:33
and asked for it to be opened;
6:35
it was opened for us,
6:36
and we entered it.
6:38
There we were met by men whose half was as handsome as any you could see,
6:44
while the other half was as ugly as any you could see.
6:48
He said:
6:49
They said to them:
6:51
'Go and jump into that river.'
6:55
He said:
6:56
There was a river flowing across,
6:59
its water as white as pure milk.
7:02
So they went and jumped into it,
7:04
then returned to us.
7:06
That ugliness had departed from them,
7:09
and they became of the finest form.
7:12
He said:
7:13
They said to me:
7:14
'This is the Garden of Eden,
7:17
and that is your dwelling place.'
7:19
He said:
7:20
My gaze looked upward,
7:22
and there was a palace like a white cloud.
7:26
He said:
7:27
They said to me:
7:29
'That is your dwelling place.'
7:31
He said:
7:32
I said to them:
7:34
'May Allah bless you both!
7:36
Let me enter it.'
7:38
He said:
7:39
'Not now,
7:42
but you shall surely enter it.'
7:44
In another narration:
7:45
'Raise your head.'
7:47
So I raised my head,
7:49
and behold, above me was the likes of a cloud.
7:52
They said:
7:53
'That is your dwelling place.'
7:55
I said:
7:56
'Let me enter my dwelling place.'
7:58
They said:
8:00
'You still have a lifespan remaining that you have not yet completed.
8:03
Were you to complete it,
8:05
you would enter your dwelling place.'
8:07
He said:
8:08
I said to them:
8:10
'Tonight I have seen truly wondrous things!
8:14
What is the meaning of all that I have seen?'
8:16
In another narration:
8:18
'You have taken me on a journey tonight,
8:20
"So inform me about what I have seen."
8:23
He said,
8:24
"They said to me,
8:26
'As for us, we will inform you.
8:29
As for the first man you came upon whose head was being smashed with a stone,
8:34
he is the man who learns the Qur'an and then rejects it,
8:38
and sleeps past the prescribed prayer.
8:41
As for the man you came upon
8:44
whose cheek was being torn to the back of his neck,
8:47
his nostril to the back of his neck,
8:49
and his eye to the back of his neck,
8:51
he is the man who goes out from his home in the morning
8:54
and tells a lie that reaches the horizons.
8:58
In a narration:
9:00
So this is done to him until the Day of Resurrection.
9:03
As for the naked men and women who were inside the structure resembling an oven,
9:09
they are the male and female adulterers.
9:12
As for the man you came upon swimming in the river and being fed stones,
9:17
he is the devourer of usury (*riba*).
9:20
As for the hideous-looking man
9:23
who was by the Fire, stoking it and running around it,
9:27
he is Malik,
9:28
the keeper of Hell.
9:31
As for the tall man in the garden,
9:34
he is Abraham, peace be upon him.
9:38
As for the children around him,
9:40
they are every child who died upon the innate natural disposition (*fitrah*).'
9:44
In a narration:
9:46
'And the first abode you entered
9:48
is the abode of the general believers.
9:51
As for this abode,
9:53
it is the abode of the martyrs.
9:55
I am Gabriel,
9:56
and this is Michael.'"
10:00
He said,
10:01
"Some of the Muslims asked,
10:03
'O Messenger of Allah,
10:04
what about the children of the polytheists?'
10:07
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, replied,
10:11
'And the children of the polytheists as well.'
10:13
'As for the people whose one side was handsome
10:17
and whose other side was ugly,
10:19
they are a people who mixed a righteous deed
10:23
with another that was evil,
10:25
and Allah has pardoned them.'"

May Allah pardon them,
16:38
Meaning He forgave them and pardoned them.
16:42
Among the points of benefit from the hadith:
16:46
Derived from the hadith is:
16:48
The recommendation for the imam to turn toward his companions after saying the taslim.
16:53
In it is that the wisdom behind facing the congregants
16:56
Is to teach them what they need to know,
17:00
And it was said: to inform anyone entering that the prayer has ended,
17:04
For if the imam remained in his position,
17:07
It might give the false impression that he is still in the tashahhud.
17:10
In it is guidance toward giving importance to dreams,
17:13
The recommendation to ask about them, and to mention them after the prayer.
17:17
In it is an illustration of the eagerness of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)
17:21
To relate dreams to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
17:25
From their action, it is derived:
17:27
The recommendation to relate a dream to one who is knowledgeable in its interpretation.
17:31
In the hadith is the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) interpretation
17:35
Of his Companions' dreams.
17:37
In it is guidance for the dream interpreter to hasten to interpret them at the beginning of the day,
17:43
Before his mind becomes preoccupied with his worldly livelihood,
17:48
And because the dreamer's memory of it is still fresh and nothing has occurred to confuse it,
17:53
And because it may contain something that is recommended to expedite,
17:57
Such as encouraging good or warning against sin.
18:01
In it is an explanation of the virtue of spending time in discussing knowledge.
18:06
In it is the permissibility of turning one's back to the qiblah when sitting for knowledge or other matters.
18:11
In it is the recommendation to say "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah) when expressing wonder.
18:17
In the hadith is that the visions of the prophets (peace be upon them) are divine revelation and truth.
18:22
In the hadith is that Hellfire is real,
18:25
That Hellfire has descending levels,
18:27
And that Hellfire is already created and currently exists.
18:31
In the hadith is an explanation of the various forms of punishment in the Hereafter,
18:35
And that the punishment continues as long as Allah Almighty wills,
18:39
And that the punishment is repeated upon the punished as it began the first time,
18:44
And that among the types of punishment is the crushing of the head,
18:47
And among the types of punishment is the tearing of the mouth, nose, and eye.
18:52
In it is an indication to guard the senses against sins and transgressions.
18:57
And among the types of punishment is swimming in a river of blood while swallowing stones.
19:03
In it is that the recompense is of the same nature as the deed,
19:06
And that whoever sends forth good will find it tomorrow on the Day of Resurrection,
19:10
"Every soul is held in pledge for what it has earned."
19:13
In the hadith is that Paradise is created and currently exists,
19:17
And that its bricks are made of gold and silver,
19:21
And that Paradise has stations and degrees,
19:24
And that people's ranks in it will correspond to their deeds.
19:28
In the hadith is a clarification of the fate of the deceased children of the Muslims,
19:31
And that they are under the care of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
19:35
As for the children of the polytheists, the scholarly disagreement regarding them is well known.
19:40
In the hadith is the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sight of his residence in Paradise,
19:46
His sight of the Gardens of Eden,
19:48
His sight of Malik, the keeper of Hellfire,
19:52
And his sight of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
19:55
Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was singled out for that status
19:59
Because he is the father of the Muslims.
20:01
In the hadith is a mention and description of some of the rivers of Paradise.
20:06
In it is that Paradise is the abode of permanent residence for the people of Tawheed in the Hereafter.
20:11
In it is a severe prohibition against abandoning the Qur'an, whether in recitation or implementation.
20:16
In it is a warning against lying in speech and in state,
20:20
And against conveying unverified accounts.
20:22
In it is the prohibition of adultery and fornication,
20:24
And the severe emphasis on its gravity.
20:26
The suitability of nudity for them is because they deserve to be exposed,
20:31
Since their habit was to conceal themselves in privacy,
20:34
So they were punished by having their privacy violated.
20:36
The wisdom behind the punishment coming upon them from beneath them
20:39
Is that their crime was committed through their lower limbs.
20:43
In it is an explanation of the punishment of the one who deals in usury (riba),
20:46
Who consumes it and is never sated by illicit gain.
20:50
In the hadith is a comparison of the one who mixes a righteous deed with an evil deed
20:54
To a handsome face paired with an ugly face.
20:58
In it is an explanation of the vastness of Allah's mercy, Mighty and Majestic, toward His creation,
21:02
In that He accepts their good deeds and pardons the ugly ones.
21:07
In the hadith, the keeper of Hellfire is named Malik.
21:13
On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:
21:18
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer at al-Hudaybiya
21:24
Following rainfall that had fallen during the night.
21:28
When he finished, he turned to the people and said:
21:32
'Do you know what your Lord has said?'
21:35
They replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.'
21:39
He said: 'Allah said: "This morning, some of My servants became believers in Me, and some became disbelievers.
21:45
As for him who said: 'We have been given rain by the grace of Allah and His mercy,'
21:50
—And in a narration: 'We have been given rain by the mercy of Allah, His provision, and His grace'—
21:56
He is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the star.
22:01
But as for him who said: 'We have been given rain by such-and-such a star,'
22:05
—And in a narration: 'We have been given rain by a star'—
22:09
He is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the star."'
22:14
Commentary on the hadith:
22:17
"At al-Hudaybiya":
22:19
Al-Hudaybiya is located 22 kilometers west of Mecca,
22:23
On the old Jeddah road,
22:26
And it was named after a well there.
22:29
"Following rainfall" means right after the rain.
22:32
The rain was called "sama'" (sky) because it descends from the sky.
22:37
"By a star" means attributed to the influence of the star.
22:40
It was said that "now'" refers to the setting and disappearance of a star,
22:45
And other opinions were also stated.
22:47
Among the points of benefit from the hadith:
22:51
In the hadith, the imam poses a question to his companions
22:55
To alert them to ponder its subtle meaning.
22:59
In it is a demonstration of the exalted status of the Prophet (peace be upon him),
23:04
As he related directly from Allah, Mighty and Majestic,
23:08
Which is technically termed a Hadith Qudsi (sacred hadith).
23:12
In it is that Allah Almighty has created a cause for everything, to which a ruling is ascribed,
23:18
While in reality the true Doer is Allah Almighty,
23:22
Who is Omnipotent over all things.
23:24
In it is that people's belief regarding this matter falls into two categories, as stated in the hadith.
23:33
Chapter: The Imam Remaining in His Place of Prayer After the Taslim
23:38
On the authority of Nafi', he said:
23:40
"Ibn Umar used to pray voluntary prayers in the same spot where he performed the prescribed prayer."
23:46
Commentary on the hadith:
23:49
Chapter: The Imam Remaining in His Place of Prayer After the Taslim.
23:53
Meaning the imam staying seated in the spot where he prayed,
23:57
After finishing the prayer.
24:01
Among the points of benefit from the hadith:
24:04
Derived from the hadith is:
24:06
The prescribed nature of a worshiper remaining in his place of prayer
24:09
For remembrance, supplication, teaching, or performing voluntary prayer.
24:14
The narration indicates the permissibility of offering voluntary prayer in the same spot where the obligatory prayer was performed,
24:21
Though there is a well-known scholarly disagreement and detail regarding this.
24:27
Chapter: One Who Led the People in Prayer, Remembered a Need, and Stepped Over Them
24:33
On the authority of Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:
24:35
"I prayed the Asr prayer behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Medina.
24:40
He pronounced the taslim, then stood up quickly,
24:43
Stepping over the necks of the people to reach one of his wives' apartments.
24:48
The people were startled by his haste.
24:50
Then he came out to them,
24:52
And seeing that they were astonished at his speed,
24:56
He said:
24:57
'I remembered a piece of uncoined gold that was with us.'
25:01
In a narration:
25:02
'I left a piece of uncoined gold at home that was from charity,
25:06
And I disliked that it should detain me.'
25:08
In a narration:
25:10
'That it should remain with us overnight or until evening,
25:13
So I ordered that it be distributed.'"
25:16
Commentary on the hadith:
25:19
"He stepped over" means he passed between them.
25:23
"The people were startled"
25:24
Meaning they felt alarmed,
25:25
And that was their habit whenever they saw him do something contrary to his usual custom,
25:30
Fearing that some revelation causing them distress might have been sent down.
25:34
"I remembered"
25:35
Meaning while I was in prayer,
25:37
"A piece of uncoined gold."
25:39
"Tibr" refers to gold that has not been minted into coin.
25:43
It was also said:
25:44
It refers to all earth gems extracted from mines,
25:48
Before being crafted and used,
25:51
And other opinions were stated.
25:53
"That it should detain me" means on the Day of Resurrection.
25:57
It was also said:
25:58
Preoccupying my thoughts away from turning and devoting myself to Allah Almighty.
26:04
Among the points of benefit from the hadith:
26:08
Derived from the hadith is:
26:10
The permissibility of stepping over people's necks for a pressing need that people cannot avoid,
26:16
Such as a nosebleed, an urgent need to urinate, or similar matters.
26:20
In it is that thinking during prayer about a matter unrelated to it
26:24
Does not invalidate it, nor does it detract from its completeness.
26:30
Chapter: Turning Away and Departing to the Right or Left
26:35
On the authority of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:
26:38
"None of you should give Satan a share of his prayer
26:42
By thinking that it is obligatory upon him to depart only to his right.
26:47
Indeed, I often saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) depart to his left."
26:53
Commentary on the hadith:
26:56
"Thinks" means believes.
26:59
Among the points of benefit from the hadith:
27:03
Derived from the hadith is:
27:05
A warning against the deception of Iblis (Satan),
27:08
For Satan entices a human being in his acts of worship
27:12
By making him imagine a need for excess scrupulousness.
27:15
In the hadith is an indication that acts of worship are strictly based on textual authority (tawqif),
27:20
And personal opinion has no scope in them.
27:25
Chapter: What Has Been Related Regarding Raw Garlic, Onions, and Leeks
27:30
On the authority of Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both),
27:33
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said during the Battle of Khaybar:
27:38
"Whoever eats from this plant—meaning garlic—
27:42
Must not approach our mosque."
27:46
And on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both),
27:48
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
27:52
"Whoever eats garlic or onions
27:55
Should keep away from us,"
27:57
Or he said:
27:58
"Should keep away from our mosque."
28:01
In a narration:
28:02
"Must not attend our mosques,
28:05
And let him sit in his home."
28:08
And the Prophet (peace be upon him) was brought a cooking pot—
28:13
In a narration:
28:14
Was brought a dish—
28:17
And he was informed that it contained green vegetables.
28:20
He detected an odor from it,
28:22
So he asked,
28:24
And was informed of the vegetables it contained.
28:27
He said:
28:29
"Bring it near,"
28:30
Pointing to one of his Companions who was with him.
28:33
When the Companion saw it, he disliked eating it.
28:36
The Prophet said:
28:37
"Eat,
28:38
for I hold private converse with those with whom you do not converse."
28:41
Commentary on the hadith:
28:45
"and onions and leeks."
28:47
Leeks are a green herb with an offensive odor.
28:52
"He was brought a pot"—
28:54
the pot in which food is cooked—
28:57
and he found [it to have an odor].
28:58
That is, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
29:02
"Eat,
29:02
for I hold private converse with those with whom you do not converse"—
29:05
meaning the angel.
29:06
This hadith explains the reason for the prohibition,
29:09
which rests on two causes:
29:10
First,
29:12
causing harm to fellow Muslims;
29:13
and second,
29:15
causing annoyance to the angels.
29:17
Benefits derived from the hadith:
29:20
It is derived from the hadith that:
29:23
It is permissible to eat garlic and onions,
29:25
and doing so is not unlawful.
29:27
It also contains an instruction to refrain from coming to the mosque
29:30
after consuming garlic or similar foods.
29:33
In its general application, this extends to all public gatherings,
29:36
such as the Eid prayer grounds, funeral prayers, and banquet venues.
29:40
It also highlights the obligation to avoid anything that harms or offends Muslims.
29:46
On the authority of 'Abd al-'Aziz, who said:
29:49
A man asked Anas ibn Malik,
29:51
"What did you hear the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
29:55
say regarding garlic?"
29:57
He replied,
29:58
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
30:02
'Whoever eats from this plant
30:04
should not approach us,'
30:06
or 'should not pray with us.'"
30:09
Commentary on the hadith:
30:12
"Should not approach us"—
30:14
meaning, should not come near our mosque.
30:17
Benefits derived from the hadith:
30:20
It is derived from the hadith that:
30:22
It is obligatory to stay away from anything that causes harm to people.
30:26
Some scholars have stated:
30:28
If someone is known to afflict others with the evil eye,
30:32
people ought to avoid him and guard themselves against him.
30:35
The ruler should also prevent him from mingling with people
30:38
and order him to remain in his home,
30:41
because his harm is far greater than the harm caused by someone who has eaten garlic or onions.
