0:16 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.'"

16:02 is the initial creation.
16:04 Its reality
16:06 is that which Allah Almighty has instilled in the hearts of all creation:

16:36 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.
