Abu Taymiyyah – Part 4 Ahadeeth on Fasting Bukhari & Muslim Umdatul Ahkaam
AI: Summary ©
AI: Transcript ©
So there's a number of explanations that the
scholars, they gave of how to maybe reconcile
or what to do with this.
The first one is,
you have Abu Hurray radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, scholars
they mentioned about him that he actually retracted
from this.
He was a retraction of Abu Hurray radiAllahu
ta'ala Anhu. We're gonna take some lessons from
this.
Abu
Hurray used to give the fatwa,
that if 1
enters the time of fajr, he's in the
state of jannah then he can't fast that
day.
One time Abdul Rahman Al Haris Do you
guys know Abdul Rahman Al Haris? It's probably
a name that doesn't
ring a bell, right?
Abdul Rahman ibn Haris.
He came to Abu Ray
and he told him that, Ummi
told Abdul Rahman, told him,
Fajr used to kick in, and he was
in a state of janaaba.
He would wash himself and he would what?
He would carry on fasting.
Suburay
said,
Oh,
did he really say that?
And what did he say?
They are more knowledgeable than me.
Suburayrah radiAllahu ta'ala never sleep with
the right? Never lived in his house.
And the janaba is happening because of what?
They're the ones who know most about this
issue because they're directly involved.
Are you with me guys? And Sahib al
Qadhi is aalam.
When an issue or incident takes place with
a particular, he's more knowledgeable than the companion
who may have, you know, heard it from
somewhere else.
What then guys?
What do we take from these guys?
Abu Hurayrah retracting.
We all know Abu Hurayrah,
He does not require introduction.
Those who narrated the most hadith, who was
top of the charts?
Abu Hurayrah, tell him Nur Umar.
Did he turn around and say, bro,
I've been Nadiawa 20 years brother.
I am the one who knows the most
hadith.
You wanna come tell me what's right and
what's wrong?
It teaches us tawagaw.
And every time I reach this hadith, I
have to give a lesson on tawagaw.
One humbling himself,
and not behave like firaoun.
How did firaoun behave?
When Musa came to him
with the truth,
you know what he said to him?
We nurtured you as a little kid,
and you spent a part of your life
with us, and you wanna tell me what's
wrong, what's wrong?
And this is the way of those who
are arrogant.
They stop belittling your age,
even though the truth has been brought to
them.
And they start mentioning some of your shortcomings,
and also the sins you used to commit.
And this is exactly what Fir'an unto Musa,
you done x y and zed.
And you wanna come and I'll tell me
what's wrong and what's wrong?
And then he called him a kafir.
You're a kafir,
and we see this today as well. And
one guy gets upset,
starts throwing abuse
at the individual that he's speaking to. I
remember one time I was in Medina,
shall I mention this or not?
Was at a table,
I became a person who was following the
sunnah, and who wasn't following the sunnah in
the same sitting, in the space of maybe
15 minutes.
And then later on, when the guy was
asked why did you call a Butayme an
Ikhwani?
He goes, no, I was just taken by
jealousy, you know.
I was just angry.
This is the way for our own guys.
Starts, you know, throwing abuse at one another,
kafir.
So I became Salafi and a non Salafi,
person who's following the sunnah, not following the
sunnah in the space of 20 minutes,
Allahu Akbar.
Point of the matter is, Abu Huray was
what? A humble individual.
He did not turn around and reject the
truth because so and so only started practicing
yesterday.
But rather you say, jazakallahu khayran, and whoever
says,
as a mess salallahu alayhi wa sallam said.
And what is kibr?
Messal salallahu alayhi wa sallam explained it,
Rejecting the truth
and also belittling others. These
guy, when you speak to him, he's always
just talking about age. That guy, yeah, I'm
older than him.
Yes, the guy who's older, he has more
hikma,
and even himself like shouldn't be the type
of person who keeps bringing up his age
when a discussion of illm is taking place.
So tomorrow when a brother starts practicing and
he tells you're doing something wrong, or you're
leading tarawih tomorrow,
okay, and a little kid tells you, Oh
you made a mistake in the salah, you
should take that and accept it,
and be a humble individual,
and try to take the truth wherever it
is.
Another aspect
that I always mention guys with regards to
being humble, if you look at the people
of the past,
they would take knowledge from one another,
even though one was the teacher and the
other was the student.
Imam al Khumeid who
was a student of Imam Shafi'i,
When you open
up
the first hadeem of Sayil Bukhari,
okay? The first name you find in there
is who? Al Humaidi.
He was a teacher of Imam al Bukhari,
and Al Humaidi was a student of? Mam
Shafi You
see?
He says, Sahib Tu Shafi'iyan min Makkah Tayla
Misra.
I accompanied Imam Shafi'i from Makkah all the
way to Misra.
It's not a 2 hour flight, guys.
It was a long way when they were
walking in the past.
He used to benefit from me with regards
to fiqh,
and I used to benefit from him or
the other way around, sorry.
I used to benefit fiqh from him because
Imam al Shaikh was known for his fiqh,
right? And he used to benefit from me
when it came to hadith.
Muhammad Muhammad
who was a student Imam Shafi'i,
Imam Shafi'i said to him,
to him,
You are more knowledgeable
than us when it comes to the issue
of Hadith. Imam Shafi'i is saying to him,
I pay attention to Shafi'i
Izzar, the Haramunabilir, they no more Hadith.
If the Hadith is authentic,
tell Us, so that we can act upon
it.
This is the real
teacher and student relationship.
Today you find a guy who goes and
studies a bit here and there,
and then still he needs what you have,
but he's not gonna sit down,
he just keeps quiet.
Or he maybe shying, he shies away from
sitting in circles,
because I've studied a bit now, but rather
The hikmah, the wisdom, is like the lost
property of a believer,
wherever he finds it he picks it up.
You find the wallet, are you gonna walk
past it and just leave it?
You're not right, you can do something about
it. That's what al means. Wherever you find
it what did you say again?
And that's a blame worthy type of shyness.
If you don't ask even though you desperately
need it.
Shyness,
generally speaking is something that is praiseworthy in
the sharia, right?
But when it comes to imla,
you ask,
you humble yourself, you sit down.
SubhanAllah, like there's so many examples but I
just feel like I might end up, you
know,
prolonging the lesson.
I used to write down all the little
examples of humbleness that I saw from the
scholars.
You know, there's a Sheikh called Nasr al
Faqih, who's a teacher and the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam is Masjid.
Sheikh Salah Alfuzan,
he doesn't come to Masjid Al Nabi and
conduct a class, barely ever.
And Alhamdulillah I'm so happy that I was
there the day when he came to Masjid
Al Nabi.
And this Sheikh,
Nasir al Faqih is maybe over 80 years
old.
80 years old.
Very old in age,
and he teaches Kitabat UHaid.
Sheikh Salih Al Fakhih comes, he's given a
class,
Sheikh Nasir Al Fakhih, I think that was
the day when he canceled his class,
came all the way to the class and
sat humbly there.
And he was taking down notes.
He didn't say, I'm old in age now,
you know, I've probably taken all of the
knowledge of Sheikh Salih al Fazan through his
books.
I don't think I'm gonna take anything new
from the Sheikh.
Humility.
And you know my brothers and my sisters,
based on how humble you are, that's how
much knowledge you're going to attain.
That's how much knowledge you're going to attain.
And it's a characteristic, I'll tell you right
now,
that I struggle to find in many people.
You got the likes of Sheikh Abu Sam,
I'm gonna mention this. He's one of the
most humblest guys, Abu Samad Dahabi. You guys
may have seen him on YouTube, He's one
of the most humblest guys I've seen. He's
maybe old enough to be my dad.
He's old enough to be my dad.
Sometimes he'll phone me,
Oh, what was the ayah again in that
surah? Give me the ayah on this topic,
all the different ayah that speak about this
particular topic.
So all enough to be on that, he
graduated
from jama'atilismiyah,
maybe over 27 years ago.
And he's asking, you know, a guy who's
like the age of a son maybe.
I've seen in the classes of Sheikh Salih
Bilhamd bin Abdulai Al Hamid Al Hussaini.
It's one of the biggest classes in the
year.
People come from all over the place.
You have the likes of Sheikh Lou Shaitan,
who's been maybe studying with Sheikh Abdul Muqshin
al Abad who's like the Muhadid of Madina,
for the last 28
years they say, Allahu'ala.
Or maybe I'm wrong. But anyways, for a
very long time,
he's sitting in the class, taking, reading a
book.
And the Sheikh has got PhD, he's been
teaching in the Jannah for so long.
Sheikh Abdul Salam is sure we have to
mention this.
Comes from Riyadh, conducts a class,
stole me a couple of books. There's another
Sheikh called Amir Bajid who also has a
chair in haram.
When sheikh comes, the other sheikh who teaches
in haram, he's
the closest to the teacher.
He's right.
These, you know, sometimes, subhanAllah, when you visit
the scholars, it's different than when you're here
in the country.
You actually see the way they carry themselves,
how humble they are, and it inspires you.
Because ilm is not just about, you know,
taking in theory.
That's why the scholars,
they gave a lot of importance in learning
adab,
etiquettes and manners, and how a person should
carry himself.
That's why, Abdullah Mubarak,
he said,
We are in need of small amounts of
etiquettes.
Then we are in need of large amounts
of what? Knowledge.
Because of your bad etiquette, it could be
the reason why you don't attain anything.
This is a some time back, I was
teaching a brother
who was going through
a book in fiqh.
And obviously he didn't necessarily mean it
because, you know, he comes from that kind
of background.
And that was the day when I realized
something is wrong and something has to change.
I didn't start teaching him a book in
manners.
One time he said to me, yo,
why Why are we having a nice yo,
what was that again?
Allah, my jaw dropped.
That guy just said, yo.
That's a problem.
Things like that could really, really prevent you
from
and he doesn't even realize himself because it's
like so instilled into his language.
I had to pull him up one time,
explain to him, told him go and buy
that kitab
and read, you know how the relationship with
the teacher and the student should be
and how we should address him.
You see,
that one doesn't address the teacher except with,
you know, the best
of titles and so on and so forth.
Yo.
Where was all of this taken from guys?
Being humble?
Messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he was the
most humblest of them.
He was the most humblest of them. Who
did the Quran come down upon?
Right?
Allah
subayeen.
Allah
subayeen. Allah subayeen.
So he that he may clarify to them.
Why are you guys?
And then he asked, Ubayb,
read
And then he asked him why?
He said,
Allah
told me to get you to read this
upon me, and it is He who the
Surah came down upon.
Allah's humility guys.
Next hadith we're going to be taking
Whoever eats
when fasting
forgetfully
or drinks, value zimlasamu let the individual complete
his fast.
For indeed it is only Allah
who has fed him and also quenched his
thirst.
Statement of the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, in
Nesya, meaning when he
or he forgets while fasting.
Okay?
This word now
it covers all types of fasting, whether it
is the obligatory type of fasting in the
month of Ramadan,
whether it is
where a person he has made a vow,
that if Allah
gives him a child, I'm going to fast
for 2 weeks.
Are you with me guys? This is called
another.
And one has to fulfill the another. And
if he can't, he has to come with
the expiation.
Are you with me guys?
What do you say?
Whoever now maketh the vow to obey Allah
then let him go and do so.
And likewise,
if this type of fasting that he's observing
is a voluntary type of fasting,
if a person accidentally eats,
well there you guys,
He can carry on. So it doesn't only
cover the fast that a person does in
the month of Ramadan.
Then it's seen when the messenger of Allah
is when he said,
He eats or he
drinks.
This statement of the messrah alaihi wa sallam
doesn't only cover that which is digestible.
Or something that is edible?
Anything that enters into the interior,
whether it's something that is edible or non
edible, something that can be digested or not
digested,
all of that
breaks a person's fast. So the person is
smuggling in some drugs into another country and
he puts that down in his gut.
Do we say his fast is broken?
You guys are laughing.
Does he bring his fast? Yes, we do.
He's smuggling in drugs. But this guy is
somebody, you know,
who fears Allah, al Zawudel, he prays, and
he also fasted the month of
Ramadan.
But then he's like, you know, transporting a
couple of things here and there, you know,
some tutus and that.
Does that break his fast?
Yes, it does break his fast.
Whether it's something that is edible, non edible,
something that can be digested
and not digested,
all of that breaks its fast.
And there's a lot of things that come
under this issue,
that the scholars they mentioned. But this is
not necessarily it's time.
Food,
drink, like we mentioned whether it's edible or
non edible, digested or non digested.
Okay? And there's other things that the scholars,
they mentioned as well.
Like even individual now, he puts kuhul in
his eyes,
and in the kuhl,
he ends up tasting it in his what?
In his throat,
that breaks the result.
And if a person now
ends up taking
food and drink, or nutrition through his nose,
again, that's going to break a person's fast,
is why the Messenger
he said,
Be somebody who exaggerates,
or you know, really perfects when sniff sniff
it out properly,
when making wudu, except
when you're fasting. So that shows us that
this is an entrance
of that which could break a person's fast.
Another things that can be mentioned,
Madhav states
The interior.
You know, something that is closed off, that
has an entrance that, you know, it's a
for a jawf.
Also they say with regards to the head
now, if a person has a gash in
his head,
somebody gets a plank of wood, hits him
on top of the head, he starts bleeding.
If a dawah is entered,
you know medicine,
is placed in that part of the injury,
and it goes in as fast as broken.
This is the position of the Hanabula,
and anything that goes in into the body.
In that which has an entrance
like the
eyes, they say that's an entrance, right? Also
the nose, that's an entrance as well, for
something.
While they have likewise the mouth, that's also
another entrance.
Someone gets a cut and they put, like,
a Band Aid on it. The Band Aid,
it has some type of
medicine inside.
So does that really fast?
Hello.
Tabe, you see an individual, he's fasting,
and he's got something in his hand.
And he's about to put inside his interior,
into his mouth.
Are you gonna say to him, fa'ina maha
ta'am maha'allaahu wa saka' is only Allah is
feeding him.
And he's quenching his leave him. Let him
do whatever he wants.
Hey, what did you do?
You're gonna stop him. Allah
is feeding him for ilaha illa wussaka.
Why are you stopping
This individual like enjoying khair, you know, and
quenching his thirst.
The guy is tired. He's been fasting for
17 hours and it is Allah is about
to feed him.
Who can give me the evidence as to
what he has to do?
The guy's about to eat and then you
shout,
and the guy gets shocked.
How'd you deal with the situation?
You see me eating or drinking,
are you gonna let me finish?
Because the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
It's only Allah that fed him and quench
his thirst.
Are you gonna grab him by the hand?
You're gonna grab me by the hand. Anyone
else got something?
Ahmed,
he was trying to race me yesterday on
the motorway, are you?
You're gonna stop him? Remind him that he's
fasting. Remind him that he's fasting, are you?
I'll let him
him finish.
It's a amongst the scholars.
There's a difference of opinion.
You have to stop him,
but make sure you don't shock him.
Okay? I remember one time I tried to
tell my mom, she goes, Let me finish,
man. It's Allah azza wa jay feeding me,
What's your problem?
And then she walked out, she was annoyed.
Messenger assalamu alayhi wa sallam what did he
say?
Whoever sees an evil,
let him change it with his hand.
You can't change it with a hand, what
do you do? You change it with? Your
mouth. Your mouth.
No, your mouth, your tongue.
The tongue.
You can't change it with your tongue, you
gotta change it with your heart.
And that is the weakest part of iman,
narrated by Muslim on the hadith of
Sayyid Abi Sayyid Hudrul. Point is,
is this not an evil that a person
is eating
in the month of Ramadan? It's an evil.
Samunkah, something you should not be doing.
So you remind him gently.
Are you with me guys? In a soft
manner.
And you shouldn't allow the fear that you
have,
fright that you have,
the respect that you might have for an
individual,
and stopping you from telling the truth.
Don't let the fear that you have in
your heart and the awe that you have
of somebody,
the respect
from stopping you from speaking the truth.
If you see it
or hear it or you witness it. You
know Abu Sayyid Al Khuda radiAllahu ta'ala and
he said
I wish I never heard that.
Because he knows now that has become incumbent
upon him, he has to do that, and
it's not an easy thing to do, to
speak the truth.
Especially when you see everybody
is upon falsehood,
is doing things that they shouldn't be doing.
Because this is exactly what Allah told us.
You follow the majority of people in the
earth, they're gonna mislead you, they're gonna misguide
you.
See everybody is doing mongkarat in your house,
you know, trying to do something about can
be really really difficult.
That's why it requires it requires what?
I was gonna say a word, but I
don't think it's,
English people, they say you need.
But you need, like, to be somebody who's
brave.
So all of these issues, my brothers and
my sisters, when it comes to the invalidators
of the fast,
we also take from this hadith.
Whether it is with regards to,
okay,
person eating or drinking
and the other things that might invalidate a
person's fast,
like hijama.
It only will nullify a person's fast if
three conditions are met.
And this is what we take from this
hadith.
There is somebody who does it
while he is still conscious in his mind.
Meaning he's not somebody who has done it
out of forgetfulness.
The other thing is he
needs to know that this is an invalidator.
A person doesn't know, and he's eating something
because or he's doing something,
and he doesn't know that's invalidating, his soul
is still correct. And the third thing is
what Muhtaran.
He does it out of his own choice.
He does it what? Intentionally.
If somebody now is forced, somebody ties you
up and he stuffs food into your mouth,
Like something that might be happening in place
like China,
they're being forced to eat, being forced to
drink.
Are they doing it
intentionally?
The answer is no. Do we say that
fasting is correct?
The answer is yes.
That case we say, fayinna matamu Allahu wa
sakah.
Here Allah is feeding him, and also what's
quenching his thirst?
They're being forced to eat, because if the
guy doesn't eat, wipe it.
He's going to get killed, he's going to
be tortured.
We've we've said that mukh, I'm still on
the meeting and he gets killed. It's haram
Wallahi,
you know, the scholars, they differed with regards
to this issue, even when it comes to
a person being mukra.
Somebody is saying to you that you need
to do x y zed, otherwise I'm gonna
take your life.
Scholars they say, that if this individual has
makana,
it's like Imam Ahmed
he has a big high status amongst the
community, amongst the people.
Maybe it is better for him to take
the pain and be tortured.
But Allah
Allah has forgiven the person
who
commits a sin
out of forgetfulness,
or he does it out of mistake,
or he does that action
because he has been forced to do the
action, Allah has always forgiven you.
Even uttering a statement of kufr,
As long as your chest,
your heart
is filled with iman, you can utter
al kufr when you are now forced to
do so.
So Allah has given you that legislative concession,
and he loves for you to take it.
And we're gonna comment to it later inshallah
when we speak about, is it better for
a person
to break his fast when traveling or is
it better for him to carry on fasting?
Are you with me guys?
There's a hadith that says,
Allah loves for you to take the legislative
concession that he has given you. Just like
he loves for you to stay away from
that.
Are you with me guys?
So point of the matter is, here,
all of these invalidators
except
Aljima.
The issue of Aljima,
when a person has sexual * in a
month of Ramadan while fasting, we're gonna come
on to that. Even though the scholars are
different, but
like the Hanabeel and other than them, they
deal with the issue of sexual *. One
doing that out of forgetfulness
in a completely different manner. I'm going to
explain that later inshaaallahu ta'ala when we reach
the next hadith.
If a person does it out of forgetfulness,
or ignorant
ly, or he's forced into doing so, we
say what?
Your fast is still correct.
All that case?
The next hadith
One time the Messenger
was sitting with his companions.
If Jahlurajur, a man came to him,
Faqaliya Rasulallahi
said, O Rasulallahu
halaqtu,
I have destroyed myself.
Qadam Malik, the master Allah said to him,
what is wrong with you?
I ended up having sexual * with my
wife in the month of Ramadan
while I was fasting.
Another narration,
which is basically the exact same meaning, I
ended up,
you know,
doing that with my wife.
Fakhar Rasoolallahu alaihi wa sallam, the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam asked him,
Do you have a slave that you can
free?
He said, No.
Alala. He said, no.
Do you have
that which will allow you to feed
60 from the poor?
Said, La.
Just waited.
While the messenger was waiting and he was
with him,
a basket was brought
with dates in there.
The best
then asked, where is the question
now? He told him to take the basket
that has days in there,
and to give us charity.
Fat'alur Raju the man said,
You want me to give charity to
somebody who's more poor than us.
And there is no one that lives between
these 2 mountains,
2 mountains
that were on the edges of Madinah, there
is more poor than us, or there is
more in need of us than us.
The messenger
smiled
till his back teeth became apparent.
Go and feed your family.
It's one of them hadith that kinda like
really makes me smile, you know.
And it teaches us a lesson as well,
especially if you're a teacher.
Sometimes an individual asks you a lot of
questions, and you need to be patient.
Even though it can get very, very exhausting.
Some of you guys might become teachers tomorrow.
You teach in the university, you teach in
a college,
or your little brother, your little sister, even
your mom, and you get frustrated.
He's going back and forth, the Messenger of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, as you guys can
see.
The statement of the messenger
so another statement of the statement
of this man who came to he said
I've destroyed myself.
Some other narration that came,
I have burned myself,
Meaning I burned myself with a fire.
And in another narration it says,
I've destroyed myself,
and I've also destroyed
my family.
So these two wordings that we mentioned, my
brothers and my sisters,
it shows the seriousness of this matter,
and that it's not a light matter.
The fact that an individual
comes aroused in the month of Ramadan,
and he can't control
himself. The guy is fasting, and he still
can't control himself as ajeeb, brother.
Messenger
told the youngster,
you know,
Whoever from amongst you is able to get
married, let them go and get married.
If you can't get married, what did the
best salaised would say?
Pawn used to go and fast.
And that fast is meant to cut your
shahwa.
Well, I'm not gonna lie to you, it
still happens though.
Still happens in the month of Ramadan.
I remember Shastal Al Fuzam asked this question.
There's a young boy who got married
in the month of Ramadan.
In the month of Ramadan, you probably guys
you guys probably know what's coming right now.
Yeah, sexual * with his wife,
and then he done it again,
and then he done it again, and then
he done it again.
Does he have to now do 1 kafara
or many kafar? Because every time he has
sexual *,
for every day,
He has to pay the
kafar.
It's not a good idea to get married
in the month of Ramadan as well.
For those who are looking to get married,
maybe an 8th day,
or the nights,
you know, in which the Ramadan is about
to finish, and you guys can enjoy yourselves
on the day of 8.
In the month of Ramadan, I don't think
it's a good idea.
This is why Hanabi today
categorize this issue even though we're gonna be
off topic here.
Now the person who goes and kisses his
wife,
is he allowed to do so?
They say, if this individual knows
that this is now going to lead to
one thing or the other
sorry, not one thing or the other, one
thing is going to lead to another.
Meaning it's going to come out.
It's haram for him to do so.
But if he doesn't fear,
then it is makru.
It's makru.
But still, you know, things are going to
get out of hand.
So the question here that arises is,
if a person does it out of forgetfulness,
if he does it out of forgetfulness,
do we say, fa'inaaataamu
Allahu Wa Saka?
Allah Azzawajal,
what do we say here? Has fed him
and quenched his dhazla,
has quenched his shower,
has relieved him.
The answer is no, even though the scholars,
they differed. The hanab will hold of you,
and this is the position of other scholars
as well.
Okay? There's a principle
that you will learn
Are you with me guys?
If the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
did not request more information
from a questioner, and he gave a hukum,
then this is general.
When this man came to the Messenger sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, did the Prophet asked him,
Did you do out of forgetfulness? Did you
know the hukum? Did you know the ruling?
Was it out of ignorance? Did you ask
him a question?
He didn't ask him a question.
He just said to him straight away,
Do you have enough?
Or do you have that which would allow
you to free a slave? He
said, No. And he went on to the
next one, and the next one, and the
next one, and so on.
Are you with me guys?
So here the messenger
did not ask. So this principle here comes
in handy,
comes in very handy
because the messenger
did not ask
what his situation was and how this whole
issue came about.
There's a general hukum that applies.
And at the end of the day is
what?
Safar.
Safar.
That a person, he pays the kafara.
