43. Book of Impermissible and Permissible
٤٣۔ كِتَابُ الْحَظْرِ وَالْإِبَاحَةِ
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ لُزُومُ الْبَيَانِ فِي كَلَامِهِ
When two men who came from the east made a speech and the people were charmed with their eloquence, the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: In some eloquent speech there is magic. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5007)
قَدِمَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَخَطَبَا فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ لِبَيَانِهِمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ لَسِحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرٌ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْبَيَانِ فِي الْكَلَامِ الَّذِي هُوَ مَحْمُودٌ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Speech is from Allah, but errors are from Satan. Verbal expression does not depend on the abundance of words, but on the clarity in conveying the truth. Silence is not a lack of words, rather those who speak foolishly about the truth."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْبَيَانُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَالْعِيُّ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلَيْسَ الْبَيَانُ كَثْرَةَ الْكَلَامِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبَيَانَ الْفَصْلُ فِي الْحَقِّ وَلَيْسَ الْعِيُّ قِلَّةَ الْكَلَامِ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ التَّمْثِيلَ لِلْأَشْيَاءِ بِالْأَشْيَاءِ فِي كَلَامِهِ
“People are like a hundred camels; you can hardly find one worth riding among them.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3990)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ كَالْإِبِلِ الْمِئَةِ وَلَا يَكَادُ أَنْ يُوجَدَ فِيهَا رَاحِلَةٌ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ اسْتِعْمَالَ الْكِنَايَاتِ فِي الْأَلْفَاظِ عَلَى سَبِيلِ التَّشْبِيهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تِلْكَ الْأَشْيَاءُ فِي الْحَقِيقَةِ
There was a feeling of fright in Medina, so the Prophet ﷺ borrowed a horse called Mandub belonging 'to Abu Talha and mounted it. (On his return), he said, "I did not see anything of fright and I found this horse very fast." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2862)
كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَزَعٌ فَاسْتَعَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَسًا لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْدُوبٌ فَرَكِبَهُ فَرَجَعَ وَقَالَ «مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ فَزَعٍ وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى إِبَاحَةِ اسْتِعْمَالِ الْمَرْءِ الْكِنَايَاتِ فِي كَلَامِهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِقَاصِدٍ لِحَقَائِقِهَا
[Machine] She said, "I sought permission from Abu Qais's brother to enter upon him after the veil descended, but I said: By Allah, I will not grant permission to him until I seek permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She added, "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and I said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Qais's brother sought permission from me but I refused to grant him permission until I seek permission from you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "And what prevents you from granting permission to your uncle?" She replied, "O Messenger of Allah, it was not him who breastfed me, it was his wife who breastfed me." He ﷺ said: "He is your uncle, grant him permission, for your right thigh is Haram to him." Urwah said: "That is why Aisha used to say: 'Forbidding what is forbidden by lineage should also be applied to breastfeeding.'"
قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَفْلَحُ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَا آذَنُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ فِيهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَمَا يَمْنَعُكِ أَنْ تَأْذَنِي لِعَمِّكِ»؟ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْضَعَنِي إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَتُهُ قَالَ ﷺ «هُوَ عَمُّكِ ائْذَنِي لَهُ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ» قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَلِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ «حَرِّمُوا مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا تُحَرِّمُونَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ اسْتِعْمَالَ الْكِنَايَةِ فِي كَلَامِهِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ سَخَطُ اللَّهِ
[Machine] Umm Sulaim was with the women of the Prophet ﷺ , and a driver was driving. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to him and said, "O Anjasha, drive slowly with the glassware."
كَانَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مَعَ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسَائِقٌ يَسُوقُ فَأَتَى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أَنْجَشَةُ رُوَيْدًا سَوْقَكَ بِالْقَوَارِيرِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ أَنْجَشَةَ السَّائِقَ كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَحْدُو بِهِنَّ فِي السَّيْرِ
The Prophet ﷺ had a Had (a camel driver) called Anjasha, and he had a nice voice. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "(Drive) slowly, O Anjasha! Do not break the glass vessels!" And Qatada said, "(By vessels') he meant the weak women." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6211)
كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَنْجَشَةُ وَكَانَ حَسَنَ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رُوَيْدَكَ يَا أَنْجَشَةُ لَا تَكْسِرِ الْقَوَارِيرَ» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ « يَعْنِي ضَعَفَةَ النِّسَاءِ »
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ أَنْجَشَةَ كَانَ يَسُوقُ نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ السَّفَرِ
[Machine] Um Sulaim was with the wives of the Prophet ﷺ during a journey, and there was a driver who was driving them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Drive slowly, for you have precious cargo."
كَانَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مَعَ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ وَكَانَ سَائِقٌ يَسُوقُ بِهِنَّ فَقَالَ ﷺ «رُوَيْدًا سَوْقَكَ بِالْقَوَارِيرِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ أَنْجَشَةَ كَانَ غُلَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
[Machine] The translation of the given text into English is as follows:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on a journey, and with him was a black servant named Anjasha. Anjasha was leading the way, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'O Anjasha, slow down and be gentle with your camel's cargo, meaning women.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُ وَمَعَهُ غُلَامٌ لَهُ أَسْوَدُ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَنْجَشَةُ وَهُوَ يَحْدُو فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَنْجَشَةُ رُوَيْدًا سَوْقَكَ الْقَوَارِيرَ يَعْنِي النِّسَاءَ »
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ اسْتِعْمَالَ التَّكْرَارِ فِي الْكَلَامِ إِذَا قَصَدَ بِذَلِكَ التَّأْكِيدَ
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ, it was narrated that he said, "Between every two call to prayer, there is a prayer for whoever wishes. Ibnu Buraydah used to pray two units of prayer before Maghrib."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ» «وَكَانَ ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يَدُلُّ عَلَى صِحَّةِ مَا ذِكَرْنَا أَنَّ الْعَرَبَ إِذَا أَرَادَتْ وَصْفَ شَيْئَيْنِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا تَبَايُنٌ تَصِفُهُمَا بِلَفْظِ أَحَدِهِمَا
[Machine] I heard Abu Hurairah saying, "During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we had no food except for black dates and water."
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «مَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ»
