00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			Once again to everyone.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			We just have about 5 minutes today
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			on a a session.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			What I thought to do is
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			to introduce you not introduce you. I think
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			you many of us, we have been introduced
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			to it already.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			But,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			go through with you
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			another compilation of Hadith as we had set
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			out to do from the beginning.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			This compilation
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			of hadith is it should be
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			hadith that are known to every single Muslim.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			It's a compilation of
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			the hadith of of Al Imam al Nawawi.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			It's called Al Arba'un and Nawawiya.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			The footi ahadith of Imam al Nawawi,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			and as I told you before, it was
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			a practice of the the Muhadith team that
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			they would make compilations of Hadith on various
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			topics of these things.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			Imam Nawawi's
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			compilation of Hadith,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			it's dear to us for for many reasons.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			Number 1, Imam Anawi I mean, we're mostly,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			and Imam Anawi is, like,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			one of the main and most influential figures
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			in the.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			So we intended to
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			do a great degree for our fit and,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			you know, the way we
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			we live our lives, etcetera.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			But
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			more importantly than that, this book,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			the and there were it's something that's like
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			it's a household text in
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			throughout the Arab world amongst all groups of
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			people, everyone.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			And we should make it the same for
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			us. Like, there should be no Muslim child,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			no Muslim person that goes through life without
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			knowing this.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Because what's Imam Nawi
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:09
			has done?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			In this compilation,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			he compulsory
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			a hadith
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			that will give you
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			a good, correct, and sound Islamic worldview.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			Is it you're not gonna teach you in
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			here how to make salah and stuff like
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			that. It's not about fit. It's not
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			it's about giving you
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			through this Hadith, this for the Hadith,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			a complete and holistic Islamic worldview.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			And I think that is
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			that's very important. I mean, it's something that
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			we we sometimes overlook. We just learn the
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			mechanics of things. We learn how to do
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			things, etcetera, but
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			we don't always learn how to view things.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			So
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			I think it's beneficial for us to go
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			through these for the hadith. Many of them
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			will be a hadith that you have heard
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			before, and there's good reason for that. The
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			works of of
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			Imam are works that have been, like, universally
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			accepted.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			Many of his works. You know, when you
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			come on the camp,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			and we give you that book of daily
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			devotions and all of that stuff,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			All of those are hadith. All of those
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			devotions we took from a book, another book
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			of called.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			Most of the hadith that people
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			by in large reference,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			in relation to, you know, the advices, etcetera.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			Yes. They study the the the the
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			the primary works of hadith, but many resort
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			to books like,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			which is also compiled by
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			and,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			take the advices from me. So I really
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			feel that this compilation of hadith, that's something
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			that is
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			its value is proven by the acceptance that
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			it has received,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			throughout time in the Muslim world, and, it
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			shows the acceptance of Allah
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			of this person.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:02
			Right?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			So
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			so,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			for me, it's very valuable that we go
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			through these. Many of them you would have
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			heard, you'll know them as well, but you
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			should potentially memorize them and teach them to
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			your children.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			As I said, nobody should go without without
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			knowing this. So we don't really have time
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			actually today.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			Time is up. But there was this really
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			one hadith. It doesn't require much explanation. We
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			could speak a lot about it, but it
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			doesn't require much explanation.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			Right? And we know this hadith already.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			So we have
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			here, So narrated by Amirul Mumineen,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			Amirul Mumineen, the leader of the believers.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			Abi Hafsin, the father of Hafsa, was the
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			this is the the nickname of Omar Abil
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			Khatab.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			Well, everybody should know Omar Abil Khatab, radiAllahu
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			anhu, the second Khalifa,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			after passing,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			one who,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			extolled his virtues on numerous occasions,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			saying that he was such a person that
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			if you were to take one road
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			and and Shaitan
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			were to come, you would take Shaitan would
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			take a different road.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			Rasulullah would say that if there were to
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			be a prophet after me, if there were
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			to be a prophet after me,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			then it would be a
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
			However,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is the seal of
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			prophethood.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			So a man of
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			great, great, great virtue.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			He said,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			that I heard the Messenger of Allah
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			say,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:52
			Yakul,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			actions are only
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			high intentions.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			We can understand that in in many ways.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			Actions are only judged according to the intentions,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			or the value of an action is only
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			as good as the value
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			of its intention or the the sincerity or
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			the purity of its intention.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			In many ways, you can understand that. It
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			literally means
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			I mean, you know what Arabic
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			so you can appreciate that there isn't a
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			lot of explanation
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			there. Actions are only
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:36
			So,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			it requires some interpretation. Only valued according to
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			intentions, are only,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			judged according to the intentions, are only,
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			worth what the intentions are worth.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			Right. And then he continues, and he says,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			and there is only
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			for every person.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			Means a man,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			but we know when it's used in general
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			like this, it will include males and females.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			And there is only for every person
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:18
			that
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:20
			which
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			he has intended.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			Each person will only have what he has
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:25
			intended.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35
			Soever
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			his migration was.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			This is now speaking when they left Makkah
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			to go to Madinah,
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			and they left behind their wealth and their
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			family, everything. Rasoolam says,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:51
			Whoever
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:52
			the migration
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:53
			was
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			to Allah and his Messenger
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			then his Hijra
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			truly was
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			to Allah and his Messenger
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08
			Meaning,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			whoever migrated with the intention
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			of Allah and his and the pleasure of
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			Allah and and service to the messenger salallahu
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			alaihi wa sallam, then his Hijra
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			will truly the reward of his Hijra will
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			truly be that he will attain Allah and
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			his messenger, meaning the pleasure of Allah and,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			you know, the the pleasure of his messenger
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			And whoever
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			his migration was
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			some of this world.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			Means to literally means to take a arrow
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			and hit the target.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			So whoever wanted to hit the jackpot in
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			some dunya,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			he was he he made that migration
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			towards some dunya that he could attain,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			a or
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			a female
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			that he wanted to marry. Meaning, if he
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			left from Makkah to Madina, leaving behind everything,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			going to Madina, but he was going to
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			Madina just because he saw other lady go
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			to Madina that he wanted to marry that
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			lady.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			But he says, he's Hijra. His migration is
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			to whatever he migrated to. Meaning the reward
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			of his migration will be what his intention
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			for migration was.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			Right?
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			So it says here,
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			The 2 Imams of the Muhadithin
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			have narrated this, have recorded this hadith. Who
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			are they? The first one is Al Bukhari,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			and the rest of the thing is his
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:10
			old name. Abu Abdillah, Mohammed, even Isma'il, even
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			Ibrahim, even Muhira, even Baridisba.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			That's the name of his ancestors,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			And Al Duafi is his misbeh, as we
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			came from.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			Person so he's saying the Al Bafari is
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			his name. Why is he telling us all
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			of this? This is supposed to be a
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			book for the ordinary person, any person. Because
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			he he feels that it's integral to the
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			faith of people, not just to the faith,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			but to their holistic understanding of deen. That
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			there's certain people you have to know. You
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			have to know who Omar Radiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihihiallahu Alaihihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihiallahu Alaihi
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			is. So he
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			tells
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			you. Why Abu Hussain
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			Muslim or Muslim even Hajjaj,
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			even Muslim Al Qushairi, and Naysa Bouri.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			And the other imam of the Muhandithi,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			who is we know as Muslim. That's why
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:57
			we have Sahih
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Muslim was the
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			name of other Imam of the Muhandithin.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			He said, may Allah have mercy on the
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:15
			2 of them,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:17
			regarding
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			the authentic compilations,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			which are the most authentic authored books,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			which are the most authentic authored books. Meaning,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			the Quran is not an authored book. The
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			Quran is a revealed book. No human being
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:33
			authored it.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			But he says,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			as for the books of the 2 of
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			them, those are the most most authentic
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			authored books that we have
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:43
			with us.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			So I think that hadith is self explanatory,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			and we don't have much time. But this
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			is just the first of the 40 Hadith
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			of Imam Al Nawawi Rahimahullah ta'ala.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			I mean, I will usually read it, and
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			his commentary is in Arabic, but I just
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			downloaded a, an English
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			commentary on it of, another great scholar,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11
			which
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			I will
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			possibly send to everyone, Inshallah,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			or ask to send it.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			It's a English commentary on on this hadith.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:22
			I haven't,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:23
			actually
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			read this comment yet, but,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			maybe I'll just flip through it and then
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			decide whether to send it or not.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			But, we end it for now. May Allah
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			make us people who who shape our world
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			according to these teachings of these Hadith
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			that,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			for us, intention always comes first. It's foremost
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			and,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			and and of prime importance in our minds
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			in relation to everything we do.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			And, we have an opportunity to exercise
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			this very shortly. The month of Ramadan is
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			coming. What are our intentions for the month
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			of Ramadan?
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			What are our intentions for the month of
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			Ramadan? There's maybe another book I must introduce
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			you to, perhaps next week, inshallah. A book
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			called Some scholars,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			they would have attitude, like, for every action.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			So there's a book like that. So one
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			scholar compiled the book called
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:19
			Literally,
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			he has different actions that people do
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			normally. And then he lists good that you
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			can have when doing that. When you get
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			married, what can you have? When you drink
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			coffee, what can you have when you all
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			of those things. So,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			perhaps I'll send that to you next week
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:36
			inshallah.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			We're in there for now.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			Let's have good going to the month of
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			Ramadan,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:43
			and,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			let's not just have good Let's have many,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			many good
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			Sincere, pure.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			And perhaps Allah
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			will actualize them and and bring them to
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			fruition for us.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			Any questions or anything before I go?
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			What is really quiet today? Both glasses.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			It's okay.
