23.1 [Machine] Interpretation of Surah Al-Fatiha
٢٣۔١ تَفْسِيرُ سُورَةِ الْفَاتِحَةِ
Regarding the necessity of reciting it in every Rak'ah and reciting it aloud
أَخْبَارُ الْوجُوبِ فِي قِرَاءَتِهَا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ، وَالْجَهْرِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
We have begun in this book with the descent of the Quran, in what has been narrated in the Musnad concerning the recitations, and the mention of the companions who compiled and memorized the Quran, before the interpretation of the Surahs.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قَدْ بَدَأْنَا فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ بِنُزُولِ الْقُرْآنِ، فِي مَا رُوِيَ فِي الْمُسْنَدِ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَاتِ، وَذِكْرِ الصَّحَابَةِ الَّذِينَ جَمَعُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَحَفِظُوهُ، هَذَا قَبْلَ تَفْسِيرِ السُّوَرِ
Regarding the necessity of reciting it in every Rak'ah and reciting it aloud
أَخْبَارُ الْوجُوبِ فِي قِرَاءَتِهَا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ، وَالْجَهْرِ
[Machine] "And from some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , (the Angel of) Maliki Yaumid-Din said: 'It is the Day of Judgment.'"
وَعَنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ (مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ) قَالَ «هُوَ يَوْمُ الْحِسَابِ»
[Machine] From Abdullah in his statement "The Straight Path" [Surah Al-Fatiha, verse 6], he said, "It is the book of Allah."
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ} [الفاتحة 6] قَالَ «هُوَ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ»
[Machine] "The Straight Path" [Al-Fatihah 6] "It is Islam, and it is the widest span between the heavens and the earth."
{الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ} [الفاتحة 6] «هُوَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَهُوَ أَوْسَعُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ»
[Machine] "He is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions," I said. We mentioned this to Hassan, and he said, "By Allah, he is truthful and sincere. He is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Abu Bakr and Umar."
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ} [الفاتحة 6] قَالَ «هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَصَاحِبَاهُ» قَالَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَ وَاللَّهِ وَنَصَحَ وَاللَّهِ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "In Surah Al-Baqarah, there is a verse that is the leader of the Quran. It should not be recited in a house where there is a Shaytan, except that the verse of Al-Kursi will cause the Shaytan to leave." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ فِيهَا آيَةٌ سَيِّدَةُ آيِ الْقُرْآنِ لَا تُقْرَأُ فِي بَيْتٍ وَفِيهِ شَيْطَانٌ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, everything has a summit. And the summit of the Quran is Surah Al-Baqarah."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَنَامًا وَإِنَّ سَنَامَ الْقُرْآنِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been given Surah Al-Baqarah from the beginning of the remembrance."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُعْطِيتُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ مِنَ الذِّكْرِ الْأَوَّلِ»
[Machine] Read Surah Al-Baqarah in your homes, for indeed Satan does not enter a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited.
«اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The chief of the verses of the Quran is the Verse of the Throne."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَيِّدَةُ آيِ الْقُرْآنِ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ»
that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah wrote in a book two thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, and He sent down two Ayat from it to end Surat Al-Baqarah with. If they are recited for three nights in a home, no Shaitan shall come near it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2882)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ كِتَابًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ وَأَنْزَلَ مِنْهُ آيَتَيْنِ خَتَمَ بِهِمَا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ لَا تُقْرَآنِ فِي دَارٍ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَيَقْرَبُهَا الشَّيْطَانُ»
[Machine] "This is the book" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2]. {Alif Lam Meem} [Surah Al-Baqarah 1] is an abbreviation for the name of Allah, and {Al-Kitab} [Surah Al-Baqarah 2] refers to the Quran. {There is no doubt in it} [Surah Al-Baqarah 2] It is undoubtedly true.
{الم ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ} [البقرة 2] قَالَ {الم} [البقرة 1] حَرْفُ اسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ {الْكِتَابُ} [البقرة 2] الْقُرْآنُ {لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ} [البقرة 2] لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ
[Machine] They mentioned in the presence of Abdullah, the companions of Muhammad ﷺ and their faith. Abdullah said, "Indeed, the matter of Muhammad was clear to anyone who saw him, and there is no god but Him. A believer who believes in the unseen is better than belief in the unseen. Then he recited, 'Alif, Lam, Meem. This is the Book in which there is no doubt.' (Quran, Al-Baqarah, 2) until His saying, 'They believe in the unseen.' (Quran, Al-Baqarah, 3)
ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَإِيمَانَهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَمْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ كَانَ بَيِّنًا لِمَنْ رَآهُ وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ مَا آمَنَ مُؤْمِنٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ بِغَيْبٍ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {الم ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ} [البقرة 2] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ} [البقرة 3]
[Machine] "Indeed, the stones that Allah mentioned in the Quran, their fuel is mankind. And the stones are stones made of petrified sulfur, created by Allah the Almighty as He willed and in the way He willed."
«إِنَّ الْحِجَارَةَ الَّتِي سَمَّى اللَّهُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ حِجَارَةٌ مِنْ كِبْرِيتٍ خَلَقَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عِنْدَهُ كَيْفَ شَاءَ أَوْ كَمَا شَاءَ»
[Machine] Allah indeed expelled Adam from Paradise before anyone entered it. Allah, the Most High, said: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a Khalifa." They said: "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds Blood?" [Quran 2:30] And indeed, before he [Adam] was created, there were already jinn made of smokeless fire. They caused corruption on the earth and shed blood. So when Allah, the Most High, said: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a Khalifa." They said: "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds Blood?" [Quran 2:30], they meant the jinn, the sons of jinn. So when they caused corruption on the earth, Allah sent armies of angels upon them and fought them until they drove them to islands in the seas. Then the angels said: "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein?" [Quran 2:30], just as those jinn, the sons of jinn, did? So Allah said: "Indeed, I know that which you do not know." [Quran 2:30].
لَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا أَحَدٌ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً قَالُوا أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ} [البقرة 30] وَقَدْ كَانَ فِيهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُخْلَقَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ الْجِنُّ بَنُو الْجَانِّ فَأَفْسَدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَسَفَكُوا الدِّمَاءِ فَلَمَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً قَالُوا أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ} [البقرة 30] يَعْنُونَ الْجِنَّ بَنِي الْجَانِّ فَلَمَّا أَفْسَدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعَثَ عَلَيْهِمْ جُنُودًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَضَرَبُوهُمْ حَتَّى أَلْحَقُوهُمْ بِجَزَائِرِ الْبُحُورِ قَالَ فَقَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ {أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا} [البقرة 30] كَمَا فَعَلَ أُولَئِكَ الْجِنُّ بَنُو الْجَانِّ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ {إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ} [البقرة 30]
[Machine] When Allah finished creating Adam and breathed the soul into him, Adam sneezed and said, "Alhamdulillah." So his Lord said to him, "May your Lord have mercy on you."
لَمَّا فَرَغَ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلْقِ آدَمَ وَأَجْرَى فِيهِ الرُّوحَ عَطَسَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ يَرْحَمُكَ رَبُّكَ
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ it is narrated that he said, "Allah created Adam from the whole of the Earth, so his offspring came forth according to that. Among them are those who are white, black, brown, and red. And among them are those who are in between that. And among them are those who are good and those who are wicked."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ مِنْ أَدِيمِ الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا فَخَرَجَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ عَلَى حَسْبِ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمُ الْأَبْيَضُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ وَالْأَسْمَرُ وَالْأَحْمَرُ وَمِنْهُمْ بَيْنَ بَيْنِ ذَلِكَ وَمِنْهُمُ السَّهْلُ وَالْخَبِيثُ وَالطَّيِّبُ»
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Indeed, Adam was a tall man, as if he were a date palm tree, with a lot of hair on his head. When he committed the sin, his nakedness was exposed to him, and he did not see it before that. So he went running in Paradise, and a tree clung to him. He said to it, 'Send me away.' It said, 'I am not under your command.' Then his Lord called him, 'O Adam, are you fleeing from Me?' He said, 'O Lord, I am ashamed of You.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ آدَمَ كَانَ رَجُلًا طُوَالًا كَأَنَّهُ نَخْلَةٌ سَحُوقٌ كَثِيرُ شَعْرِ الرَّأْسِ فَلَمَّا رَكِبَ الْخَطِيئَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُ عَوْرَتُهُ وَكَانَ لَا يَرَاهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَانْطَلَقَ هَارِبًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَتَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ شَجَرَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَرْسِلِينِي قَالَتْ لَسْتُ بِمُرْسِلَتِكَ قَالَ وَنَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ يَا آدَمُ أَمِنِّي تَفِرُّ؟ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنِّي اسْتَحَيْتُكَ
[Machine] A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how many prophets were there before Adam?" He ﷺ replied, "Yes, Adam was a prophet, a learned one and a speaker." The man asked, "How many generations were there between Adam and Noah?" He replied, "Ten generations." The man asked, "And how many generations were there between Noah and Ibrahim (Abraham)?" He replied, "Ten generations." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how many prophets were there in total?" He replied, "Three hundred and fifteen great ones."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَبِيًّا كَانَ آدَمُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ مُعَلَّمٌ مُكَلَّمٌ» قَالَ كَمْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ نُوحٍ؟ قَالَ «عَشْرُ قُرُونٍ» قَالَ كَمْ بَيْنَ نُوحٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ؟ قَالَ «عَشْرُ قُرُونٍ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمْ كَانَتِ الرُّسُلُ؟ قَالَ «ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ وَخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ جَمًّا غَفِيرًا»
[Machine] They sought forgiveness, but they said a wrong thing and entered upon their inclinations. That is the saying of Allah, exalted is He, "[So He changed those who did wrong with a calamity as they did not listen to the advice that was said to them.]" [Al-Baqarah 2:59]
مَغْفِرَةً فَقَالُوا حِنْطَةٌ وَدَخَلُوا عَلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ} [البقرة 59]
[Machine] How do you ask about something while you have the Book of Allah, which contains the latest news from Allah? Allah has informed you that they have written a book with their own hands, distorted and changed it, and they claim that it is from Allah. And they have sold it for a small price. But the Book of Allah is pure and has not been altered. By Allah, none of them will ask you about what has been revealed to you.
كَيْفَ تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَعِنْدَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ أَحْدَثُ الْأَخْبَارِ بِاللَّهِ وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَتَبُوا كِتَابًا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَبَدَّلُوا وَحَرَّفُوا وَقَالُوا هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَاشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا فَعِنْدَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ مَحْضٌ لَمْ يُشَبْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَسْأَلُكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنِ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ
[Machine] The Jews of Khaybar used to fight against the tribe of Ghatafan. And every time they clashed, the Jews of Khaybar would be defeated. So, the Jews sought help from Allah with this supplication: "O Allah, we ask You by the right of Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet whom You promised to send in the end of times, to grant us victory over them." Then, whenever they met the enemy, they would make this supplication and would defeat the tribe of Ghatafan.
But when the Prophet ﷺ was sent, they disbelieved in him. So Allah revealed the verse: "But they used to seek victory over the disbelievers before, [for the sake] of Muhammad." (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:89).
The necessity led to the expulsion of the Prophet ﷺ from their interpretation of this verse, although it is a strange interpretation from his hadith. There is no need for that, as Abdullah (ibn Abbas) said: it is canceled and has no effect on the Prophet ﷺ .
كَانَتْ يَهُودُ خَيْبَرَ تُقَاتِلُ غَطَفَانَ فَكُلَّمَا الْتَقَوْا هُزِمَتْ يَهُودُ خَيْبَرَ فَعَاذَتِ الْيَهُودُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي وَعَدْتَنَا أَنْ تُخْرِجَهُ لَنَا فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ إِلَّا نَصَرْتَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَكَانُوا إِذَا الْتَقَوْا دَعَوْا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فَهَزَمُوا غَطَفَانَ فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَفَرُوا بِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَكَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ} [البقرة 89] بِكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ « » أَدَّتِ الضَّرُورَةُ إِلَى إِخْرَاجِهِ فِي التَّفْسِيرِ وَهُوَ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ لا ضرورة في ذلك أي لإخراجه فعبد الله متروك هالك
[Machine] "The Jews" {and among those who associate partners with Allah} [Al-Baqarah 96], "The non-Arabs" said, "The two scholars agreed on the chain of narration of the interpretation of the companion, and this chain is authentic according to their criteria, and they did not exclude it" according to the criteria of Bukhari and Muslim.
«الْيَهُودُ» {وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا} [البقرة 96] قَالَ «الْأَعَاجِمُ» «قَدِ اتَّفَقَ الشَّيْخَانِ عَلَى سَنَدِ تَفْسِيرِ الصَّحَابِيِّ وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِهِمَا وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» على شرط البخاري ومسلم
[Machine] From Ibn Abbas concerning His statement, exalted is He, "with an increase of words"
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى بِزِيَادَةِ أَلْفَاظٍ
[Machine] "They are the people of the Book." "And among those who associate partners with Allah, one of them wishes that if he could live a thousand years, he would not be freed from the torment. And Allah is seeing of what they do." [Al-Baqarah 96] He said, this is the statement of one of them to his companion. He sent joy and fragrance festival.
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَى حَيَاةٍ} [البقرة 96] قَالَ «هُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ» {وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ أَنْ يُعَمَّرَ} [البقرة 96] قَالَ هُوَ قَوْلُ أَحَدِهِمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ هز إرسال سرور مهرجان بخور
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "My ministers from the heavens are Gabriel and Mika'il, and from the people of the Earth are Abu Bakr and 'Umar."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَزِيرَايَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ جِبْرِيلُ وَمِيكَائِيلُ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have two ministers from the people of the sky and two ministers from the people of the earth. As for my ministers from the people of the sky, they are Jibril (Gabriel) and Mikail (Michael). And as for my ministers from the people of the earth, they are Abu Bakr and Umar. Narrated by Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim ibn Salam, from Abu Muawiyah, from Atiya, with another wording."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ لِي وَزِيرَيْنِ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَوَزِيرَيْنِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَأَمَّا وَزِيرَايَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ فَجَبْرَائِيلُ وَمِيكَائِيلُ وَأَمَّا وَزِيرَايَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَوَاهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ بِلَفْظٍ آخَرَ
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ mentioned the companion of images and said, "Jibril (Gabriel) is on his right and Mika'il (Michael) is on his left." Abu 'Ubaid said, "They are two angels that are mentioned frequently in the Hadith." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاحِبَ الصُّورِ فَقَالَ «جِبْرِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ «هُمَا مَهْمُوزَتَانِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gabriel is on his right side and Michael is on his left side, and he is the companion of the images." Dahabi did not provide a summary for this.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «جِبْرِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَهُوَ صَاحِبُ الصُّورِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] "What you say does not affect us, even if we knew, we would not marry his wives nor divide his inheritance." Then he said, "I will tell you about it. Indeed, the devils used to listen stealthily, and one of them would bring me a true statement that he had heard. But then he would mix it with seventy lies, which the people would believe. So, Allah revealed this to Sulaiman bin Dawud, and he took it and buried it beneath the throne. When Sulaiman died, a devil appeared on the path and said, 'Shall I guide you to a treasure of Sulaiman that no one has a treasure like?' They said, 'Yes.' So, he brought it out, but it was just magic. The nations then followed it, and its remnants are still spoken of by the people of Iraq. So, Allah revealed an excuse for Sulaiman and said, 'And follow what the devils recited during the reign of Sulaiman. It was not Sulaiman who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved' [Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 102]."
«مَا تَقُولُ لَا أَبَا لَكَ لَوْ شَعَرْنَا ذَلِكَ مَا أَنْكَحْنَا نِسَاءَهُ وَلَا قَسَمْنَا مِيرَاثَهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنَا سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَانُوا يَسْتَرِقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَجِيءُ بِكَلِمَةِ حَقٍّ قَدْ سَمِعَهَا النَّاسُ فَيَكْذِبُ مَعَهَا سَبْعِينَ كِذْبَةً فَيُشْرِبَهَا قُلُوبَ النَّاسِ فَأَطْلَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ فَأَخَذَهَا فَدَفَنَهَا تَحْتَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ سُلَيْمَانُ قَامَ شَيْطَانٌ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى كَنْزِ سُلَيْمَانَ الَّذِي لَا كَنْزَ لِأَحَدٍ مِثْلُ كَنْزِهِ الْمُمْتَنِعِ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَأَخْرَجُوهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ سِحْرٌ فَتَنَاسَخَتْهَا الْأُمَمُ فَبَقَايَاهَا مِمَّا يَتَحَدَّثُ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عُذْرَ سُلَيْمَانَ فَقَالَ {وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُوا الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَى مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلَكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا} [البقرة 102] الْآَيَةُ
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يُخْبِرُ الْقَوْمَ
[Machine] "{Wherever you turn, there is the face of Allah}" [Al-Baqarah 115]. "That you pray wherever your mount faces in voluntary prayer."
أُنْزِلَتْ {فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ} [البقرة 115] «أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ حَيْثُ مَا تَوَجَّهَتْ بِكَ رَاحِلَتُكَ فِي التَّطَوُّعِ»
[Machine] "In the saying of Allah Almighty, 'Those to whom We have given the book recite it with true recitation.' [Al-Baqarah 121] He said, 'They make permissible what is permissible and prohibit what is prohibited, and they do not distort it from its rightful place.'"
فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّ تِلَاوَتِهِ} [البقرة 121] قَالَ «يُحِلُّونَ حَلَالَهُ وَيُحَرِّمُونَ حَرَامَهُ وَلَا يُحَرِّفُونَهُ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ»
[Machine] Regarding the saying of Ibn Abbas in regard to the statement of Allah the Almighty, "And [mention] when Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:124).
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَإِذِ ابْتَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ} [البقرة 124]
[Machine] "Allah has commanded His Prophet ﷺ to purify my house for the pilgrims, those who perform 'Itikaf (seclusion for worship), and those who perform the bowing and prostration. So, Tawaf (circumambulation) is performed before the prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Tawaf around the House is like prayer, except that Allah has permitted speech during it. Therefore, whoever speaks should only do so with goodness.'
اللَّهُ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ «طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ» فَالطَّوَافُ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الطَّوَافُ بِالْبَيْتِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَلَّ فِيهِ الْمِنْطَقَ فَمَنْ نَطَقَ فَلَا يَنْطِقْ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ»
[Machine] "Allah, the Almighty, said to His Prophet ﷺ, 'Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf, those who stay and worship, and those who bow and prostrate.' Therefore, performing Tawaf before Salah is following half of the narration, and the second half of the narration is from the hadith of Al-Qasim ibn Abi Ayub, which Al-Dhahabi omitted in his summarization."
اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ «طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ» فَالطَّوَافُ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ هَذَا مُتَابِعٌ لِنِصْفِ الْمَتْنِ وَالنِّصْفُ الثَّانِي مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Circumambulating the House is a form of prayer, except that Allah allows speech during it. So whoever speaks during it should only speak of good." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الطَّوَافُ بِالْبَيْتِ صَلَاةٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَحَلَّ فِيهِ النُّطْقَ فَمَنْ نَطَقَ فِيهِ فَلَا يَنْطِقْ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] Ibrahim, the beloved of the Most Merciful, came from Armenia with tranquility as a guide for him to the location of the House, just as the spider takes its home. Then Ibrahim dug beneath the tranquility and revealed the foundations of what moves the foundation, except for thirty men. He said, "Then he said..." (The phrase "فقال" is incomplete and cannot be translated without further context)
أَقْبَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ أَرْمِينِيَةَ مَعَ السَّكِينَةِ دَلِيلٌ لَهُ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ الْبَيْتِ كَمَا تَتَبَوَّأُ الْعَنْكَبُوتُ بَيْتَهَا ثُمَّ حَفَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّكِينَةِ فَأَبْدَى عَنْ قَوَاعِدَ مَا يُحَرِّكُ الْقَاعِدَةَ مِنْهَا دُونَ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا قال فقال
[Machine] The first thing that was abrogated from the Quran regarding the mention of the matter of the Qibla, Allah said, "{To Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the face of Allah.}" (Al-Baqarah 2:115). So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards the direction of Bait al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and left the Ancient House (Kaaba), and then Allah, the Exalted, said, "{The foolish among the people will say, 'What has turned them away from their qiblah, which they used to face?'}" (Al-Baqarah 2:142). They meant Bait al-Maqdis, so Allah abrogated it and directed it to the Ancient House, and Allah, the Exalted, said, "{And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it}" (Al-Baqarah 2:150).
أَوَّلُ مَا نُسِخَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فِيمَا ذُكِرَ لَنَا شَأْنُ الْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُ {وَلِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ} [البقرة 115] فَاسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَتَرَكَ الْبَيْتَ الْعَتِيقَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {سَيَقُولُ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَا وَلَّاهُمْ عَنْ قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا عَلَيْهَا} [البقرة 142] يَعْنُونَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَنَسَخَتْهَا وَصَرَفَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ} [البقرة 150]
[Machine] "I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at a funeral in Bani Salamah, and I was walking beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . A man said, 'Indeed, a person is good if we do not know whether he is chaste or a Muslim.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Are you the one saying that?' He replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, it seems that way to us, and Allah knows best about secrets.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, it is necessary.' And we were with him at the funeral of a man from Banu Harithah or Banu Abd al-Ashhal, and a man said, 'What a bad person he is if we do not know whether he uses harsh language or not.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Are you the one saying that?' He replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, Allah knows best about secrets. As for what is apparent to us, that is it.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, it is necessary.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited, 'And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you.' [Quran 2:143]"
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فِينَا فِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ وَأَنَا أَمْشِي إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ نَعْمَ الْمَرْءُ مَا عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كَانَ لَعَفِيفًا مُسْلِمًا إِنْ كَانَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ؟» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَاكَ بَدَا لَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالسَّرَائِرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَجَبَتْ» قَالَ وَكُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي جَنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ أَوْ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ بِئْسَ الْمَرْءُ مَا عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كَانَ لَفَظًّا غَلِيظًا إِنْ كَانَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ؟» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالسَّرَائِرِ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي بَدَا لَنَا مِنْهُ فَذَاكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَجَبَتْ» ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا} [البقرة 143]
[Machine] From Abu Sa'eed: "And thus We have made you a just nation" (Surah Al-Baqarah 143). He said, "Just."
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا} [البقرة 143] قَالَ «عَدْلًا»
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was directed towards the Kaaba, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about those who died while they were praying towards Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa?" So Allah sent down the verse {And Allah would not let your faith go to waste} [Quran 2:143] until the end of the verse. 'Ubaydullah ibn Musa said, "This hadith informs you that prayer is a part of faith."
لَمَّا وُجِّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ بِالَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ} [البقرة 143] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى «هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ»
[Machine] "Turn your face towards the sacred Mosque, and wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it." [Surah Al-Baqarah 144]
{فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ} [البقرة 144] قَالَ شَطْرُهُ قِبَلُهُ
«نَحْوَ مِيزَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ»
[Machine] About his mother, Umm Kulthum bint Uqba, she was one of the first emigrants. In relation to the saying of Allah Almighty, "Seek help through patience and prayer" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:45), she said that Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf fell unconscious and they thought he had passed away, so his wife Umm Kulthum went to the mosque seeking help through what she was commanded, patience and prayer. When he regained consciousness, he asked, "Did I pass out?" They answered, "Yes." He said, "You spoke the truth, for two angels came to me and told me to go and meet the trustworthy dignitary." Another angel said, "Return him, for this is one of those whom you have written happiness for, and his descendants will enjoy him as long as Allah wills." After that, he lived for a month and then passed away.
عَنْ أُمِّهِ أُمِّ كُلْثُومِ بِنْتِ عُقْبَةَ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الْأُوَلِ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبِرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ} [البقرة 45] قَالَتْ غُشِيَ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ غَشْيَةً فَظُنُّوا أَنَّهُ فَاضَ نَفْسُهُ فِيهَا فَخَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ تَسْتَعِينُ بِمَا أُمِرَتْ بِهِ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ «أُغْشِيَ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ صَدَقْتُمْ إِنَّهُ جَاءَنِي مَلَكَانِ فَقَالَا انْطَلِقْ نُحَاكِمْكَ إِلَى الْعَزِيزِ الْأَمِينِ فَقَالَ مَلَكٌ آخَرُ أَرْجِعَاهُ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مِمَّنْ كَتَبْتُمْ لَهُ السَّعَادَةَ وَهُمْ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَيَسْتَمْتُعُ بِهِ بَنُوهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ «فَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ مَاتَ»
[Machine] He received news from some of his family while he was traveling, so he performed two units of prayer. Then he said, "We have done what Allah has commanded: seek help through patience and prayer." [Al-Baqarah 153]
جَاءَهُ نَعْيُ بَعْضِ أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَعَلْنَا مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ {اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبِرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ} [البقرة 153]
[Machine] "Indeed, excellent are the two companions of justice and excellent is Al-'Ilawa (the reward) for those who, when struck by a calamity, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are [rightly] guided."
نِعْمَ الْعِدْلَانِ وَنِعْمَ الْعِلَاوَةُ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ أُولَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ نِعْمَ الْعِدْلَانِ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ نِعْمَ الْعِلَاوَةُ
[Machine] This verse was revealed specifically to the Ansar, who were in the period of Ignorance (before Islam) when they performed the pilgrimage and were not allowed to perform the sa'i (the ritual of walking between Safa and Marwa). When we arrived (in Medina), we mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Allah revealed the following verse: "Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:158) until the end of the verse.
إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ كَانُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا أَحْرَمُوا لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة 158] «إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ»
"I asked Anas bin Malik about As-Safa and Al-Marwah, and he said: 'They were among the rites of Jahiliyyah.' He said: 'So during Islam, we refrained from them, then Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed: Indeed As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin for those who perform Hajj or 'Umrah to the house to go between them. (2:158)' He said: 'So it is voluntarily then verily, Allah is the All-Recogniser, the All-Knowing. (2:158)'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2966)
كَانَتَا مِنْ مَشَاعِرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَمْسَكْنَا عَنْهُمَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ} [البقرة 158] اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا الْآيَةُ
[Machine] I begin with Safa before Marwa, or I begin with Marwa before Safa, and I pray before circumambulating (the Kaaba) or I circumambulate before praying, and I shave before slaughtering, or I slaughter before shaving? Ibn Abbas said: "Take this from the Book of Allah, for it is more deserving to be preserved." Allah the Almighty said: "Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah." (2:158) "So Safa is before Marwa." And He said: "Do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal reaches its place of slaughter." (2:196) "So the sacrifice is before shaving." And He said: "Purify My house for those who perform Tawaf and those who stay in it for worship, and for those who bow and prostrate." (2:125) "So Tawaf is before prayer."
أَبْدَأُ بِالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ أَوْ أَبْدَأُ بِالْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا وَأُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَطُوفَ أَوْ أَطُوفُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ وَأَحْلِقُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ أَوْ أَذْبَحُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَحْلِقَ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «خُذْ ذَاكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُحْفَظَ» قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ} [البقرة 158] «فَالصَّفَا قَبْلَ الْمَرْوَةِ» وَقَالَ {لَا تَحْلِقُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ} «فَالذَّبْحُ قَبْلَ الْحَلْقِ» وَقَالَ {طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ} [البقرة 125] «فَالطَّوَافُ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ»
