Differently. I'm gonna narrate a hadith that look
at Hajj from,
the perspective of prophets, not necessarily the prophet
Muhammad alayhi sallam alone alayhi sallam. We'll I'll
do that at the end. But But from
the present perspective of other prophets alaihis salaam
just to kinda establish something for you. And,
some of these hadith,
you if you look them up, you may
find the commentary from certain scholars on them
to be that they lack authenticity.
And I I'm gonna take a moment to
explain this now just in case, Yani, you
look it up and so you understand what
I'm talking
about. A hadith,
when you when you look at certain hadith
are agreed upon, that they are authentic. That
doesn't no one needs to comment. Anything in
Buhari and Muslim,
you don't need anyone to tell you it's
authentic. It's going to be authentic. And there's
a hadith that are that are so have
now completely
are agreed upon to be non authentic that
no one ever brings up, and they've almost
been forgotten. You'll find them in books, in
in in in the the basic books of
hadith if you want to look into them.
But there are hadith that's somewhere in the
middle where there is commentary. I mean, there
are scholars who looked at them and their
conclusion at is that they are reasonable in
terms of authenticity.
And other scholars looked at them and said
that they're not reasonable. Now, unfortunately, you only
get one version of that, narrative if you
look online. You're only gonna get 1 or
2 scholars who looked at. The rest of
them, you're not gonna get you're not gonna
get,
the Indian scholar. You're not gonna get
And a lot of scholars of hadith Muhaqiteen,
their job is to to look at the
synod and to study the actual,
chamber narration. So So you only get one
version of it. So and this happens a
lot and it's it's one of the headaches
I have to leave it. And I'll
and I'm very careful with these things, but
sometimes even even though I explain it, someone
will just look it up and say, oh,
it says here that this and I know
what it says because the issue of the
hadith are studied by different scholars. So so
not everyone comes to the same conclusion. The
hadith I'm gonna write today and tomorrow to
you, they have some commentary. Some scholars have
commentary on that that that they're not authentic,
and I'm aware of that. And I'm not
going to waste your time by explaining to
you why,
those who thought they're authentic,
thought that they're authentic and why I agree
with them because that's going to waste a
good half an hour of explaining why. I
think that hadith
is not necessarily going to be not authentic
just because he's the only one who narrated
it especially if it's if if there's enough,
information or there's enough other narrations that strengthen
it. The hadith hadith that I'm gonna share
with you have other narrations that strengthen the
basic meaning. And what is I'm gonna say
fully agreed upon, but the majority of Muslim
scholars and this is what
Ibn Hajj al Haytami talks about is that
the Kaaba is the first obviously, it's the
first,
house of worship that was ever established that
the one who built the Kaaba actually goes
back to Malik or to Adam alaihis salam.
And this is something that the majority of
scholars accept. Very few not a lot of
them think that Ibrahim was the first one
to establish it, to actually build it. Ibrahim
reestablished it. That's what Yulfa means, but to
be the first one who to build it
actually goes back to Adam alaihis salaam. And
there's some guys who mostly accepted among scholars.
Now the narrations themselves may lack full authenticity,
but the concept itself is is is is
well established, which is why I feel very
comfortable narrating this. And I'm narrating it also
on the authority of my teacher, Shailoodin Atha
and that he he was very comfortable with
narrating these hadith, and he had, he he
had looked at their, asanid, and he felt
very comfortable with That's just a,
a disclaimer for today's hadith and tomorrow. After
that, the hadith, they're all pretty simple, but
just for today and tomorrow, there's a little
bit because I we rarely I I make
a point of never narrating anything that's even
different upon here. Like, I never narrate things
that are even different upon just to get
you out of any headache. But sometimes, I
think there's
a benefit in doing it, especially if I
think that the hadith has, like, a merit
that you may want to hear. So the
and and and
And this hadith is authentic if you establish
it or consider the words of Abdullah ibn
Amr not the words of the prophet, alayhi,
salam. But
And these and the information that he says
here, you don't say based on opinion. You
have to someone has to must have told
you this. So most likely hear it from
the prophet,
So this is what he said
Allah, Subhanahu, sent Jibril to Adam and Hawa,
and he told them, I want you to
build a house for me.
So Jibril pointed out where and we all
know that Adam and Hawa, they met at
some point in Arafa, and that's why it's
called Arafa and Musdelifa is
etcetera. And I'll explain these things inshallah toward
before Hajj. But we know that they were
in that area. So he he pointed out
where the area is. So Adam started to
to dig and Hawat was removing
the the dirt for him.
Until he went deep enough to to the
the the soil now was, was damp.
He was
called
When they built something
and established something, they were commanded to make
And he was told this you are the
first of of your race, and this is
the first house
established for you.
And then time passed
time passed until
Anu performed Hajj. And then and we know
that from other authentic narrations, by the way.
And then time passed until Ibrahim reestablished it
after it it fell down. And and why
I'm saying this is because understanding
look. The Kaaba, understanding
this is the time of Hajj, so it's
nice to kinda reflect upon that that part
of the world specifically and what it means
to us. The Kaaba is not just something
that was meaningful to the prophet
or just to the sahab or to the
Arab or just to Ibrahim alaihis salam. No.
The the Kaaba is some
in The first one ever established for the
human race was in Baqah. It was established
and goes and the human race has been
around since Adam
So the authenticity and the originality
of this space and of that house is
extremely meaningful.
And when you go back there, you're going
back to a place where this whole story
began.
When you're performing tawaf, you're also you're there's
3 levels of everything in Hajj. There's a
level of of the of Rasulillah
So you get to you get to follow
in his footsteps specifically. And then there's a
level of Ibrahim Al Khaleel Alayhi Salaam and
his family. And then there's a level of
Adam Alayhi Salaam Al Hawa. So I always
tell people, choose a level in Hajj.
Choose 1 in Hajj and just focus on
1 and and you'll learn more than you
can ever imagine learning by just going to
those places and remembering what actually occurred. But
one of the things that you can remember
about the Hakaba aside from the prophet alaihi
sallam rebuilding it and being called the ameen
during that whole story or or the story
of Ibrahim being told.
We showed him where the house was because
it was already there. Again, there's a lot
of evidence that it was here before him.
They go back to before that, that this
is where your parents
established the first house of worship. This is
why we are all directed that way. That's
why we stand here, we go this way.
Go to that first house because we're united
by that. Look around you. The people everyone
sitting beside you is is probably unrelated to
you only through maybe 50 or 60 or
a 100 and 50 or 200 generations back.
We are very diverse in our backgrounds, but
we're united through Adam and Hawa, and we
always will be. And we are their children.
And when you stand, imagine standing in front
of them.
How how can we differentiate amongst each other?
You understand how the feeling of family will
happen like that the moment that Adam and
Hawa appear? Because they're your parents and my
parents and your parents and everyone's parents. And
I'm not I don't belong to them more
than you do nor do you belong to
them more than I do. We're exactly the
same in how we belong to them. And
that was the house that they built. That
was the beginning. And they did their and
you go do the same. I find that
to be extremely meaningful if you think about
it. This hadith is beautiful in that way.
I hope you find that
beneficial.
