Adnan Rajeh – Post Isha Khaterah Recitations from the book of Prophetic Descriptions 14

We continue insha'Allah with reciting a hadith

from Kitab al-Shama'il, and I think

what I'm going to do is I'm going

to continue to do this until we cover

like one hadith from all of the chapters

of this book until the end of it,

there's not much left of it, so we'll

do that for the next couple of weeks

insha'Allah ta'ala, I think there's barakah

in doing this and I hope insha'Allah

you're finding it beneficial.

So today I'll recite from the chapter of

what he drank, and then we're going

to recite a hadith, how he drank, so

there's two chapters, one what and one how.

So the first one, So Ibn

Abbas

says that he entered the house of the

Prophet, the house of Umm al-Mumineen, and

it was him and it was Khalid ibn

al-Walid who entered the house of the

Prophet, for some reason they entered together, it

doesn't say why, she brought a pitcher of

Laban, Laban is not yogurt, it's milk, the

Egyptian brothers and sisters know that well, we

don't, the people from Syria and other parts

of the, we call yogurt Laban, we don't

call it, anyways, for Laban, whenever you find

it in the books of hadith, it's always

going to be milk.

So the Prophet, it was granted to the

Prophet, so he drank.

And he said, Ibn Abbas said, I was

sitting on his right, and Khalid was sitting

right to his left.

So he said to me, the right of

drinking is for you, Ibn Abbas is saying,

the right of drinking, the Prophet told me

that the right to drink right now is

for you, because the way it goes is

when you drink, or you take something, you

always start from your right, giving salams, or

giving food, or giving drink, or whatever you're

going to do, you start with your right.

If you like, maybe you offer your turn

for Khalid, because he's older than you, and

out of respect, that's what the Prophet was

hinting to Ibn Abbas, maybe offer your turn

to Khalid, since you're sitting on the right

and he's on the left, it's your right,

but maybe you offer it to Khalid.

فَقُلْتُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ لِأُؤُثِرَ عَلَىٰ سُؤْرِكَ أَحَدًا يَا

رَسُولَ اللَّهِ He said, I would never, ever

give my turn up to drink behind you,

where your mouth touched, for me to be

the first person to drink from the spot

that you drink, where my lips touched the

place that your lips touched, I would never

allow anyone take that away from me, Ya

Rasulullah.

So not Khalid, not anyone else.

If I am fortunate at this moment to

be the person who can take the cup

and drink from the spot that you drank,

Ya Rasulullah, where there's no one between us,

then I would not offer that role or

that turn to anyone.

صلى الله عليه وسلم أجمعين This is from

a 10-year-old boy.

This is from a 10-year-old boy.

I understand the love that Abu Bakr had

for him.

I do.

I totally understand that.

You can love your friend to the point

that Abu Bakr did.

I understand the love of Umar and Uthman

and Ali.

As Ali grew up, he married his daughter.

I understand the people who grew up with

him and went from childhood to manhood.

I understand the people who are mature enough

to understand the sacrifices he was offering.

But I don't understand a 10-year-old

boy.

I find that a little bit challenging.

Why does a child love him that way?

That level.

I can understand a child being in appreciation

of him or in awe or being impressed.

But for a child of that age to

love him, to say these words, to say

that, I would never.

I get to drink right after you.

I get to take the pitcher or the

cup and drink from the place that your

lips touched, Ya Rasulallah.

I would never offer that to anyone else.

That is something that...

For him, what I'm impressed is not that

Ibn Abbas said that.

رضي الله عنه, he's a great scholar.

I'm impressed of the person who generated that

degree of love in the heart of a

10-year-old.

صلى الله عليه وسلم أجمعين That is what's

impressive to me.

That he was able to generate that amount

of love in someone that young.

For him to feel that and then to

articulate that.

رضي الله عنه ثم قال رسول الله صلى

الله عليه وسلم He gave it to him

and he said, مَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ طَعَامًا Whomever

Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la grants

food or something to eat or drink.

فَلْيَقُلْ أَللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَأَطْعِمْنَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ

If you're given food, he offered obviously Ibn

Abbas to drink.

And he said, anyone who is given food,

may they say, Oh Allah, grant us barakah

in what you gave us.

And then feed us something that's better than

that.

Whether it's in dunya or it's yawm al

-qiyamah.

يعني جناة النعيم وَمَنْ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

لَبَنًا فَلْيَقُلْ أَللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَزِدْنَا مِّنْهُ

And if anyone is drinking milk, may they

say, Oh Allah, grant barakah in it and

increase us in it.

He didn't say give us better.

Because he...

ثُمَّ قَالَ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَامُ إِجْمَعِينَ He

said it in that way.

And he commented.

فَقَالَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ يُجْزِئُ مَكَانَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ غَيْرَ

اللَّبَنِ And there's nothing that is considered a

full meal that makes up for food and

drink aside from milk.

That's why in his du'a when it

came to milk, he said don't say better

than it.

Because you're not going to find anything that's

better for your nutrition than that.

Hadiths of Abu Dawood and Imam Tirmidhi's narration.

That was an authentic chain of narration.

And we know that today that when it

comes to foods or nothing makes up...

You can survive on milk alone.

Obviously it's not the healthiest thing if you

do that forever.

But you can survive on it.

You can't really survive on anything else if

you're taking only one supplement aside from that.

Which is why he pointed that out.

صلى الله عليه وسلم أجمعين The second hadith

is very short.

في صفة شربي قال حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمْلُ ابْنُ نَصْرٍ

نَيْسَ أَبُورِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَرْوِي

قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ بِنْتُ نَائِلٍ عَنَ عَيْشَةَ بِنْتِ

سَعَدْ إِبْنِ أَبِي وَقَاصِ عَنْ أَبِيهَا سَعَدْ إِبْنِ

أَبِي وَقَاصِ وَإِذَا وَعَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَى اللَّهُ

عَلَيْهُ وَعَلَيْهُ سَلَّمَا كَانَ يَشْرَبُ قَائِمًا وَقَاعِدًا The

hadith is a collection of others' tuhfah as

well.

And where Sa'ad tells us the Prophet

عليه الصلاة والسلام would drink, sometimes he would

drink sitting down, and sometimes he would drink

standing up.

The majority of hadith that we have is

where the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام would drink

sitting down.

But he was seen multiple times عليه الصلاة

والسلام drinking, standing up.

Often when he drank, he would take more

than one breath.

He would drink, and then take a breath,

then drink, then take a breath.

It was counted most either to be twice,

يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ مَرْتَيْنِ or three breaths عليه

الصلاة والسلام.

He never drank it all at once, whatever

it is he was going to drink.

صلى الله عليه وسلم He would do it

most of the time sitting down, but he

would often do it standing up as well

عليه الصلاة والسلام.

And he would drink all that was given

to him, whether it was water or milk,

or anything else that was offered to him

عليه الصلاة والسلام.

And he would never really turn back anything

that was offered to drink in his life.

صلى الله عليه وسلم أجمعين I'll end with

that.

I hope that was a benefit to you.

سبحان الله وبركاته شنوا لا إله إلا أنصفه

وتوليه وصلى الله وسلم وبرك على نبينا محمد
