Welcome back to our readings. Now

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

we reached the last section

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

in Imam Al Harami's discussion of universals.

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

And there's a little, there's a few points

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

here that have to be made that have

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

to be made. And I hope inshallah to

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

make it as easy for everyone as possible.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

And then in the future, we can unpack

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

more and more and more and more.

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

The sheikh, he says,

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

what does that mean? According to Imam Al

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

Haramain, you can only use words as evidences

00:00:41 --> 00:00:41

for universe.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

You can only use words what's spoken, not

00:00:46 --> 00:00:46

written,

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

as evidence for universes.

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

That's very important. So that means the Quran,

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

yes, but when it comes to the sunnah,

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

we know there's 3 parts to the sunnah,

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

what's spoken, what's acted on, and sound of

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

approval. So that means he's restricting a vote

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

only to what the prophet said, not what

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

he did or his sign of approvals.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

That's why he says

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

So the entire introduction, he says

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

So here,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

he's making some points. Number 1 is, according

00:01:44 --> 00:01:44

to

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

his,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

universes

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

can only come from what's spoken. Malachi's would

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

say no,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:53

say, because

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

a action

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

after negation

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

is aan. We just learned that.

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

And in fact, we say specifically there are

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

3 scenarios

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

where this is gonna happen as an introduction

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

for you. Number 1 is an action after

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

negation. For example, let's shut up to I

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

didn't drink?

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16

I didn't drink

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

what? Anything That's Sharib Tu Sheyin

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

So that's Am

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

If I say In Sharib Tu

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

if I drink, drink ayeashayin,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

anything

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

as a condition so after a negation

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

after a condition,

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

and also

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

if I use mustard,

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

should always don't know what is mustard

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

again,

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

foundations of every language. That's why I taught

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

it

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

to help you navigate these kinds of texts.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

My story is used to emphasize something or

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

to show it's,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

it's got brand incidents.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

So if I say

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

I did not eat anything, anything. I did

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

not drink anything, anything.

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

So

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

so 3 scenarios here related to actions with

00:03:13 --> 00:03:13

the

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

as we say that an action

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

is like a word with tanwi and a

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

word with tanwi that comes after negation or

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

after condition or after negation with mastar is.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

So therefore, since words with tanween are like

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

actions, then we also say actions take the

00:03:31 --> 00:03:31

same rule.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

Alas, one fact that we're in the future.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

So that's why

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

we can teach

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

What does that mean?

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

Examples of actions that carry a womb are

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

the following

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

for example

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

I did not drink.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

If we drink,

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

and they agree in if

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

the

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

and with muster.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

So here,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

we differ with Imam Al Haramain who says

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

Not completely.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

There are conditions for that.

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

Rahim O'Houllah.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

Because if you say

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

his argument is if you say, you know,

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

the Prophet

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

SAW joined 2 prayers while he was in

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

travel. In travel here, am means any travel,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

far, near, across the street,

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

but there's an argument for this that can

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

be made

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

outside of his,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

position.

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

The Prophet

00:05:29 --> 00:05:29

adjudicated

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

bet between his neighbors.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

In the Qadah of the Messenger of Allah

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

and his judgments

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

we don't take a rule.

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

Although

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

differ on this and they say, no.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

These things are understood to be,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

universal

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

because the Sahaba

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

were

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

You know the Sahaba, their language is very

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

strong so if they use something that means

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

Aym, that means Aym,

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

whether it's related to the Prophet's judgments or

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

someone's describing how he judged between 2 people

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

or adjudicated between them, SallAllahu Alaihi Wa'arihi Wa

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

That means

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

I agree with him actually.

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

As I just said and said, like, no

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

way we would think that the Sahab would

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

use

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

a form which applies universality

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

even in the language unless they knew that's

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

what it meant because they were very careful

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

in how they narrated on behalf of the

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

message of Allah SAW Alaihi Wasallam and they

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

were masters of the language.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

That's what Imam al Maribawi,

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

he said very clearly

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

knowing that Sahaba say we're prohibited from doing

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

something like

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

that means all forms of

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

because that's the meaning of the statement.

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

So the slack section imamal haramarin says,

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

that alone is only taken from what's spoken.

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

And we said, now there's some differences of

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

opinion on that. Masha'Allah,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

the Madiki is ila ayashay because

00:07:43 --> 00:07:43

That,

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

an action after negation

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

means ambiguity.

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

It's like nakira tanwi

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

And then they w they mentioned 3 situations.

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

So

00:08:04 --> 00:08:05

after

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

condition

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

or mustar of a fafi'il after nafi'i.

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

Then we also mentioned Al Qaba'

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

the judgments of the Messenger of Allah that

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

people saw

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

that

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

those things mean

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

That's the end of talking about

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

and Next time, we'll bring some examples of

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

so you can practice
