So the hadith tonight and tomorrow night and
the night probably after as well
is a is a part is
the the theme is,
appreciation of Hajj, and I'm I'm what I'm
looking at this year when I'm narrating the
hadith before Hajj is the experience of Hajj
and understanding of Hajj from the perspective of
prophets.
And
we're talking about looked at,
we looked at Hawa and Nuh
and, and and Musa and and Yunus who
talked about different prophets. And and the hadith
on our rates over the next couple of
days are gonna be the parts that talk
about Ibrahim and you have this long hadith
in the collection of Abu Hari that has
other,
narrations and different books and other books, like,
you know, a Muslim has a has a
part of it and
and as well. But this hadith in Bukhari
is long. And it's Ibn Abbas telling
us,
the story
of Ibrahim alayhi salam with his wife and
his son and
the events that occurred. And he will he
will often within the hadith
specify what the prophet said.
Like he'll say,
and then he will continue. So we know
that the prophet alaihi sallam taught him the
story in general, but it's not verbatim. Meaning,
I mean, Abbas is paraphrasing
and I'm gonna paraphrase as well because Adi
says long. And I'm gonna take pieces tonight
and tomorrow the night after, and and they're
long. So I don't wanna if I if
I it's word for word, it'll take a
long time. So I'll paraphrase a little bit,
but then I'll point out what he said
specifically. Like, what what he actually said. And
tonight, he starts by saying this,
So the what she what he explains of
the Allahu An, who is
which is
she would breastfeed her son and drink from
the water that she had within her little
container
until the water that she had ran out
and her milk ran out and she became
thirsty, and he became thirsty. And then he
became those so thirsty, they start to squirm
or he started to cry. He started to
behave way like a child that was, you
know, getting dehydrated. So she couldn't see him
in that situation. So she got up and
she walked away. She doesn't want to see
him like that in search for help. So
the closest mountain that she found, closest higher
area was the happened to be the Mount
of Safa, which is what you go to,
you know, for for and
also the mountain the prophet
stood stood upon
during his life. So alaihis salaam. So she
she would get on top of the mountain
and she would look towards the valley. The
valley,
is where you walk. That's the that's the
valley. So it's towards Marwa.
Hoping to see someone, but she didn't see
anyone.
So she walked down and she started to
walk within the valley, walking in a way
where she was, the walking of someone who
was tired, someone who was putting an effort.
So she stood on the and she's looking
for help. He does not find help, and
she did this 7 times.
And that is the sign that people do
between these two mountains. It's based on on
the movement of, say, the Hajj al
And
the last time that she heard a sound.
So she said, quiet, speaking to herself, alaihis
salaam. This is the degree of of of
of grief,
of pain, of fear,
of of difficulty that she's going through. She
hears a sound, so she tells herself, be
quiet.
When she heard something.
Meaning, whoever's making the noise, I hear you.
Do you have anything to feed us or
to to to offer us? We're starving and
we're thirsty.
With his wing,
where the where the where the will is
today, where she had left her son, Ismael
alaihi salaam, right where his foot was.
And he hits the ground with his with
his wing.
And then water started to come. And
she saw so she runs towards the water.
Meaning she's taking in her home. She's making
a small basin of it.
Every time the water comes out, she puts
in her in her container to drink and
then to give her son.
Has she not manipulated
the water and made the changes to it?
Then Zamzam would have turned into a spring
and would run into the the the earth
of Yani and Zamzam. But she was too
she was too thirsty in it, so she
manipulated the movement of it so it stayed
it stayed underwater and continued to to
be
a
well.
So they both drank.
And then the the the angel would call.
Don't be afraid
in the place that you are.
So he said,
said, do not be afraid of this place
that is empty, and there's no one here.
This is where the house of Allah is.
And this boy, with his father, will one
day rebuild it, and Allah does not forget
about his people.
And then and and Jibreel left and never
came back. It would be years later that
things would happen differently. But that is the
story of how so that was
that's where the house was always there. The
house was there.
Even if you continue this hadith in Bukhari.
So if you continue the hadith, the same
wording, they say that the hadith says that
the house was on a higher it wasn't
low. It was on a on a on
a on a on a higher piece of
land. And the sail would basically hit it,
meaning the, the when when,
water ran in Mecca, Yani, the rivers ran,
it would hit it from the right and
hit from the left and basically eat away
at at the structure that once was, because
it wasn't it wasn't apparent to be a
structure anymore,
But he would revive it later on, his
life. And it's a beautiful story. I don't
need to make too much contemplation, but I'm
not gonna reflect for you since it's 11
o'clock. But think about it and listen to
the to these words and read it when
you go home, and and there there's something
there for everyone, for each and every one
of us. Yeah. I need to when you
when you hear this story,
it's a beautiful one.
