Suhaib Webb – AlNawwawi’s Forty Hadith The Foundations of Faithful Practice (Part One)

Assalamu alaikum Wa Rahmatu wahee Wa Barakah to

welcome back to our reading of the 40

Hadith of Sayna Imam and Nawawi You.

Rahim Muhu Allahu

Ta'ala Nafanallahu

Ta'ala biilmihee

Fidarini Amin.

1 hukalal

haditha sermon

which doesn't accept kesrah. So you don't say

like the word

like the word hamza

and so on and so forth like dalha.

So and

And you see something very important here, he

says,

Ibni Sahar.

Abdul Rahman Ibni Sahar is what's called Atulbayan.

Who's Abu Huerra?

Abdulrahman

I'm Sahar.

And there is a number of opinions about

his actual name. Some said Abdul Shams,

there's other names given to him.

Why would say you don't know imam and

Nawawi

write it in this way.

Abdirrahman

ibn sakhr,

to show you that according to him

that's the strongest opinion.

That's his name, that's the name of

Abuuhu Rayra Radiallahu

Tala Anhu.

This hadith that we're about to study

is the foundation of Sharia,

the foundation of fiqh.

And really one of the guiding principles of

Usul Ifilk.

The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said

whatever I have

it. It brings about one of the most

important axioms in Islamic law.

That our foundational relationship

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says about alcohol

and gambling

and like magic and sorcery.

You must abandon it. Sorcery,

tarot cards, the zodiac. Now a lot of

brothers and sisters getting caught up on that

stuff, Fajj telling you

So this, the beginning of this hadith

lays out one of the important principles for

those of us who have embraced Islam. We

have to embrace Islam with the attitude of

beginning to peel away the forbidden from our

lives.

I didn't say throw it away. We talk

about that in the hikam, in the second

hikam,

in our class here at Swiss, but to

peel it away

and to slowly eradicate it from our lives,

to evict the Haram from our life. If

you come back to Allah and May Tawba

and you were born Muslim to begin to

evict the forbidden from your life. So the

Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says,

means whatever.

Means

am.

Whatever I have prohibited for you, and this

means immediately.

Fajdani Abu. Doesn't mean don't be wise, don't

use hikmah, of course,

but at least have the intention

that you're going to be on this trajectory

of removing the forbidden.

I'm on this trajectory as a new Muslim,

when I became Muslim,

I began to realize there's certain things I

have to slowly peel away from my life,

like using marijuana,

having girlfriends,

you know, partying, clubbing,

living foul.

Because I knew that if I wanted

to be Muslim,

I knew that I had to do it

Alhamdulillah sincerely and correctly.

Allah says enter to Islam completely and don't

follow the footsteps of shaytan.

So the first part of this hadith is

the crux of the deen, after tawhid,

after iman and that's why imam, sayna imam

and Nawawi puts it here.

Because

now after talking about certain hadith in the

beginning, although we know that Amr Abu

Amr ibn Salah, he's the one actually that

put this hadith here. We know up to

Hadith 23, it's Abu Amr ibn Salah.

That's why he put this hadith here in

the imam and now we peer reviewed it

and agreed and so did Sayyidina

imam hafafafna rajib alhambari because 3 writers actually

wrote this text.

They agreed to this, have been peer reviewed

because after you fix the aqeedah,

then it's time to work on actions. What's

the first

basic foundational principle?

As he says in his introduction, the foundations

of Islam, the Qulliyat of Islam, what he

calls the rial saliheen alwalihad

things that are very clear and easy for

us to do

What I have prohibited for you, you must

avoid.

This implies 2 things. Number 1 is which

is a wajid for us to stay away

from the Haram.

How do we know that something's Haram?

The Quran or Surna says it,

For example, Allah says prohibited for you is

this.

Number 2, it's linked to a punishment in

the hereafter like * or punishment in the

grave.

So we understand that that's forbidden because the

Sharia

will command us to avoid those things, which

by avoiding them there's maslaha, there's benefit for

us in this life and the next.

Number 3, they're associated with a Hajd punishment,

right?

The serious punishments for serious crimes like adultery

and theft and so on and so forth.

Number 4, through Ijma, a consensus of the

scholars. Number 5, if you follow a mehtab

or a teacher, taqleed

of that mehhab or that

teacher. And then number 6,

is what's called Taazirat in the running of

an Islamic state. And we'll talk about that

potentially in the future. So this is Ijtinab

which we have to do. The second type

of Ijtinab is recommended and that's the

It's important to say that. That the are

those things that are disliked.

If we do them consistently without a reason,

they could lead us to the forbidden. So

that is from the Baaba' warah,

right? Or the Baaba' being,

not Warah but of being like more present

religiously, more adherent religiously.

The third type of Istinab, actually there's 3,

is to avoid the permissible

and that's from Babul Warah.

To avoid the permissible

so that I can

up my angelic state if you will, right?

That I can up my iman, excuse me,

that's what I'm looking for. I could up

my iman,

my, and as one of my teachers, you

know, said angelic,

is that the angels don't commit sins. So

I would say Ismatom kasei idim mada'ikah, the

angels and the prophets are the same. So

I get closer to that state by avoiding

sin. That's what I meant by that. So

the third is to avoid the permissible,

so that I increase my level of taqwa

and increase my level of warah, al hayyah

and consciousness.

This is the opposite of where society is

today. Now people, they ask for fatwas that

will allow them to do the forbidden.

In the earlier times, what made those Muslims

different, Masha'Allah,

is that wasn't the case.

They were looking for fatwas that would protect

them from falling into

dangerous components of the permissible.

SubhanAllah.

Of course we have to be careful with

that because

don't make forbidden what Allah has made permissible.

But

if someone wants to individually without harming themselves

and their family and those around them, avoid

certain components of the permissible in order to

discipline themselves to draw nearer to Allah,

There's nothing wrong with that. So he said,

Or thalath. Number 1 is, 3 levels of

Ijtineb, of avoidance. I have to.

It's recommended.

It's permissible for me to.

So

we'll stop here. This is the first part

of hadith. In this first axiom, I need

you to memorize it.
