I'm reciting a hadith from the book Al

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

-Shama' Al-Muhammadi Al-Imam At-Tirmidhi, Rahimahullah

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

and I take a few hadith from a

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

chapter or a few chapters every night and

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

inshallah we'll kind of complete reading different hadith

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

from the different chapters over the next maybe

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

two weeks or so and tonight the chapter

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

is Baab Ma Ja'a Fi Qira'ati

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

Rasoolillah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam the recitation of the

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

Prophet Alaihi Wasallam of the Quran specifically so

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

a hadith that kind of give us some

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

idea of how he recited and this is

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

a very beautiful chapter and I'm going to

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

share with you three hadith that are short

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

and nice and inshallah you'll find them enjoyable

00:00:35 --> 00:00:35

...

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

so Umm Salama in this hadith narrated also

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

in connection with Umm Abu Dawood it's a

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

reasonable chain of narration, she was asked how

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

was the Qira'ah of the Prophet Alaihi

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

Wasallam and her response was ...

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

meaning you heard every single letter it wasn't

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

the words that you heard, you heard the

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

letters when he recited Alaihi Wasallam and this

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

is how, this hadith is used to define

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

tajweed by the way like when you sit,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

when I sit and I talk and we

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

do go, someone's going through an ijazah and

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

they're reciting to me I tell them that

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

what you're reading to me are not the

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

words, it's not the verses you are reciting

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

to me the letters, you are reciting each

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

letter, I need to hear each letter the

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

way it's supposed to be said, in the

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

right movement of the mouth with the exact

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

right enunciation, your tongue has to be in

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

the right place because I'm listening to letters

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

with you, I'm not listening to words or

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

verses, or surahs, I'm listening to letters because

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

that's how he read Alaihi Wasallam he would

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

recite in a way where you could hear

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

everything it was very clear when he recited

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

salallahu alayhi wasallam ajma'in and I think

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

that's something that we should continue to try

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

and teach and learn it's a beautiful description

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

qala haddathana mahmood ibn ghaylana qala haddathana wakee

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

'un qala haddathana miss arun an abil ala

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

alabdi an yahya ibn ja'data an ummi hani

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

in radiyallahu anha qalat kuntu asma'u qira

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

'atan nabi salallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallama

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

bil layli wa ana ala areeshi so ummu

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

hani radiyallahu anha was one of the sahabiyat

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

and she lived close to the prophet's house

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

and she said I would be on my

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

areesh areesh, if you go back to the

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

middle east, you know that they would always

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

in front of every house they have a

00:02:26 --> 00:02:32

vine and because they become very thick they

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

can basically be a barrier between you and

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

your neighbors and you can sit, and ladies

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

used to use the areesh as a place

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

where they could sit and they wouldn't have

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

to put their hijab on for example and

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

they can see the night and the areesh

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

is basically the vine it's keeping a little

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

bit of a barrier between them and the

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

eyes of their neighbors so she would sit

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

on her areesh and then she would hear

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

the prophet alayhi wasallam reciting the quran during

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

the night, during his qiyam alayhi wasallam how

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

lucky is ummu hani that she got to

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

sit and just at night, instead of sitting

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

there quietly with a cup of tea she

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

got to sit there and listen to the

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam reciting the quran at

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

night for as long as he would alayhi

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

wasallam and she could hear him, he would

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

recite in a voice that she could sometimes

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

hear radiyallahu anha the final one, and this

00:03:14 --> 00:03:18

is probably the thing sorry, no this is

00:03:18 --> 00:03:29

it so

00:03:29 --> 00:03:38

this hadith narrated by abdullah ibn mughafal abdullah

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

ibn mughafal tells us, i saw the prophet

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

alayhi wasallam and this is a, this khatir

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

will become too long but this is one

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

of those moments and you have these moments

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

in the seerah and in the hadith of

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

the prophet alayhi wasallam with the sahaba they

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

remember these moments, and they talk to us

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

about these moments and they give us this

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

historical event and abdullah ibn mughafal remembers on

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

the day of fath, when the prophet alayhi

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03

wasallam entered mecca again but he entered this

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

time, and he was not afraid and he

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

was not, they weren't trying to kill him

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

and they didn't have the ability to do

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

it anyways and after 20 years of jihad,

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

he came back to his hometown alayhi wasallam

00:04:13 --> 00:04:19

he entered mecca on the day of fath

00:04:22 --> 00:04:28

he entered mecca on the day of fath

00:04:28 --> 00:04:32

and he recites and he guides you on

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

a straight path and may allah help you

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

he said, so he recited and returned raja

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

means he recited it as he was coming

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

in his head was down, stuck on the

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

mane of his horse or his naqa and

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

he was reciting these verses out loud with

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

his voice alayhi wasallam doing tarji' meaning he

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

would recite and then repeat again if you

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

like listening to the quran in majalis al

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

-tarteel similar to what shaykh al-minshawi or

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

shaykh abdul basit they would sit there and

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

people around them and they would recite and

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

go back and recite and go back a

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

couple of times kind of perfecting the rhythm,

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

making it sound nice so the prophet alayhi

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

wasallam on his horse entering mecca he's reciting

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

with his voice alayhi wasallam going back and

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

forth repeating the verse multiple times giving the

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

mudood, changing the rhythm every time wa qala

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

mu'awiyah ibn qurra mu'awiyah who is

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

the tabi'i who heard this hadith from

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

abdullah sayyidina abdullah ibn mughafal he heard it

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

from him yaqulu lawla an yajtami'an nasu

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

alayhi la akhaztu lakum fee thalika al-sawti

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

awil lahn he said if it wasn't for

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

the fact that i fear that if i

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

start doing this people start coming around and

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

asking i will recite to you as abdullah

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

recited it to me as he remembered it

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

from the mouth of the prophet salallahu alayhi

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

wasallam ajma'een like i recited the way

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

abdullah showed me the prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

was doing it but i fear that i

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

do that i disrupt the halaqat that are

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

happening in the masjid and people come running

00:06:05 --> 00:06:06

over to see what's going on so i'm

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

not going to do it but if it

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

wasn't for that i would show you how

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

he did it alayhi salallahu alayhi wasallam and

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

a lot of what you find today when

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

you go and listen to these great reciters

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

reading the quran and going back and forth

00:06:15 --> 00:06:19

and taking time they learned this this is

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

something that was also handed down it was

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

passed down, these recitations, these methods if you

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

think about it how many methods are there

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

to making a dhan how many different rhythms

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

are there for qiraat quran they're not that

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

different they're all quite similar they were all

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

inherited from him salallahu alayhi wasallam ajma'een

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

one way or the other it came to

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

us from him alayhi salallahu alayhi wasallam that

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

this is how he kinda did it with

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

some variations the human experience will add some

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

variations here and there but the essence of

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

it is still the same and he would

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

enjoy this is what i miss i miss

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

this i can't give you this i can

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

give you i can do quite a number

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

of things for you i can't give you

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

this i don't have the voice for it

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

at all if i want to do tanfeer

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

min deenillah subhanahu wa ta'ala i will

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

call you all and i'll sit and try

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

to recite the quran like they would and

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

then everyone would leave and go to a

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

church or maybe leave it's not gonna work

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

you need someone who has the right voice

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

but we do have them we just don't

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

encourage this art it's an art it's an

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

art wallahi it's an art and if you

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

have not enjoyed it in your life then

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

there's a piece that's missing for you like

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

if you have not sat down and listened

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

to sheikh al-minshawi taking the verses in

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

surah al-hashr and just play just majestically

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

repeating them with each rhythm and putting the

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

emphasis on every specific words as it goes

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

along then you have not learned to enjoy

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

the quran yet there's a joy in hearing

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

how they did this because this is not

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

something they made up this is something that

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

was inherited majalis al-quran these date back

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

to his time alayhi salatu wassalam these date

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

back to his time now there are certain

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

things people will disagree did it happen during

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

the tarbiyah time did not happen i don't

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

wanna argue with you whether they sat and

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

did dhikr together or not whatever you want

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

to believe is fine by me but they

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

did this they did this they sat and

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

they recited and they listened and they enjoyed

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

it and the tabi'een did the same

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

thing and i miss that piece of my

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

life i miss it, i don't have it

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

anymore we had someone in this could have

00:08:07 --> 00:08:08

done it but then he left the city

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

subhanallah but we have to start encouraging those

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

who have those voices to learn the quran,

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

learn the rhythms and learn how to do

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

it so that we can sit and listen

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

instead of me running my mouth for an

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

hour bring someone who just takes these verses

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

that we recited and just reads them time

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

and time again takbeer just making them to

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

the point where you we absorb them you

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

absorb you don't need someone like me to

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

explain them to you you'll absorb them on

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

your own because Allah's words are more powerful

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

than anything else we need to have that

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

joy of listening to those words and the

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

sahaba they felt that with him alayhi salatu

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

wassalam they felt his joy when he recited

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

they felt his passion when he read and

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

they enjoyed listening to him and they did

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

the same they did the same in their

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

lives and we've missed that we don't have

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

that anymore and i really wish we could

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

find a way to do it i don't

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

believe in calling people from overseas to come

00:09:00 --> 00:09:01

and do this stuff i don't i don't

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

see the point of doing that i think

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

these things are easily built locally easily you

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

can educate people and you can teach them

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

but you just have to have the interest

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

we have to as an ummah have the

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

interest again in the quran in reciting and

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

listening because aqarat is not going to be

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

able to recite if he doesn't have people

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

who want to listen to him like we

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

need two we need people someone who can

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

read it well but i need people that

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

will sit and listen to him well and

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

enjoy just listening to that and that's the

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

both of them is something i think we

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

should work on i'm trying inshallah maybe we'll

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

be able to do it i'll recite this

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

last hadith because i think it's beautiful
