[Machine] And he said, "Fasting for three days every month."  

وَقَالَ «صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ»  

[Machine] "Fasting for three days every month relieves the heat of the chest."  

«صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ يُذْهِبْنَ وَحَرَ الصَّدْرِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: "Sami Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd, mil'as-samawati wa mil'al-ardi wa mil'ama shi'ta min shai'in ba'd. Athlath-thana'i wal-majdi khairu ma qalal-'abdu wa kulluna laka 'abdun la mani'a lima a'taita wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd (Allah hears the one who praises Him; Our Lord, to You be the Praise, filling the heavens, filling the Earth, and filling whatever else You will, Lord of Glory and Majesty, the truest thing a slave had said, and we are all slaves to You. None can withhold what You grant, nor can the possession of an owner benefit him before You.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1068)   

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ «اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ أَهْلَ الثَّنَاءِ وَالْمَجْدِ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ»  

[Machine] Between the sky and the earth is a journey of five hundred years.  

«مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ»  

[Machine] He said, "The distance between the lowest heaven and the one above it is the journey of five hundred years. And between each heaven is the journey of five hundred years. And between the seventh heaven and the Throne is the journey of five hundred years. And between the Throne and the water is the journey of five hundred years. And the Throne is above the water. And Allah is above the Throne, knowing what you are upon."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ وَمَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ وَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالْكُرْسِيِّ مَسِيرَةَ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ وَمَا بَيْنَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَالْمَاءِ مَسِيرَةَ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ وَالْعَرْشُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَاللهُ ﷻ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يَعْلَمُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] The sun rises from the depths of hell between two devil horns, and it does not rise in the sky as a cinder unless a gate from the gates of fire is opened. When the heat intensifies, all of its gates are opened.  

«تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ فِي قَرْنِ شَيْطَانٍ وَبَيْنَ قَرْنِ شَيْطَانٍ فَمَا تَرْتَفِعُ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَضْمَةً إِلَّا فُتِحَ بَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ النَّارِ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا كُلُّهَا»  

[Machine] Abdullah saw a man with some money and said, "What do you do with it?" He said, "I buy buckets of butter with it." Abdullah said, "Give it to your wife to put it under her pillow, and then buy meat for a dirham every day."  

رَأَى عَبْدُ اللهِ مَعَ رَجُلٍ دَرَاهِمَ فَقَالَ «مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهَا؟» قَالَ أَشْتَرِي بِهَا فِرْقَ سَمْنٍ فَقَالَ «أَعْطِهَا امْرَأَتَكَ تَضَعْهَا تَحْتَ فِرَاشِهَا ثُمَّ اشْتَرِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ لَحْمًا بِدِرْهَمٍ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, Allah has divided your manners among you as He has divided your provisions. Allah gives wealth to whom He wills and He withholds it from whom He wills. And He does not give faith except to whom He wills. So when Allah loves a servant, He gives him the faith. So whoever is given wealth by Allah, let him spend it, and whoever is given an enmity by Allah, let him fight it. And whoever is given a night by Allah, let him strive in it. So let him increase in saying "There is no god but Allah" and "Allah is the Greatest" and "Praise be to Allah" and "Glory be to Allah"."  

«إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَسَمَ بَيْنَكُمْ أَخْلَاقَكُمْ كَمَا قَسَمَ بَيْنَكُمْ أَرْزَاقَكُمْ وَإِنَّ اللهَ يُعْطِي الْمَالَ مَنْ يُحِبُّ وَمَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ وَلَا يُعْطِي الْإِيمَانَ إِلَّا مَنْ يُحِبُّ فَإِذَا أَحَبَّ اللهُ عَبْدًا أَعْطَاهُ الْإِيمَانَ فَمَنْ ضَمِنَ بِالْمَالِ أَنْ يُنْفِقَهُ وَهَابَ الْعَدُوَّ أَنْ يُجَاهِدَهُ وَاللَّيْلَ أَنْ يُكَابِدَهُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ»  

[Machine] Abdullah asked, "Do you know how Islam diminishes?" They replied, "It diminishes like the dye on a garment, like the hair on an animal, and like the length of a dirham through excessive use." He said, "Indeed, that is part of it, and even more than that is the death of scholars or their departure."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «تَدْرُونَ كَيْفَ يَنْقُصُ الْإِسْلَامُ؟» قَالُوا كَمَا يَنْقُصُ صِبْغُ الثَّوْبِ وَكَمَا يَنْقُصُ مِنَ الدَّابَّةِ وَكَمَا يَقْسُو الدِّرْهَمُ عَنْ طُولِ الْحَبْيِ قَالَ «إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَمِنْهُ وَأَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَوْتُ أَوْ ذَهَابُ الْعُلَمَاءِ»  

[Machine] The path is laid out evenly, like the sharp blade that slices, and it has slippery slopes upon which hooks made of fire violently snatch those who fall and those who pass quickly like lightning without being harmed, and those who pass swiftly like a running horse, and those who pass swiftly like a galloping horse, and those who pass swiftly like the pace of a man, until the last of them is a human being who is scorched by the fire, experiencing its evil, until Allah admits him into Paradise by His mercy. It will be said to him, "Ask and you shall be granted." He will say, "My Lord, are you mocking me, while You are the Lord of all honor?" It will be said to him, "Ask and you shall be granted." He said, "Until hopes are cut off, you will be given everything you ask for." He said, "And Abu Salih narrated to me from Abu Huraira, who said, "And there are ten like it with him."  

يُوضَعُ الصِّرَاطُ عَلَى سَوَاءِ جَهَنَّمَ مِثْلَ حَدِّ السَّيْفِ الْمُرْهَفِ مَدْحَضَةٌ مَزِلَّةٌ عَلَيْهِ كَلَالِيبٌ مِنْ نَارٍ يُخْتَطَفُ بِهَا فَمُمْسَكٌ يَهْوِي فِيهَا وَمَصْرُوعٌ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمُرُّ كَالْبَرْقِ فَلَا يَنْشَبُ ذَاكَ أَنْ يَنْجُوَ ثُمَّ كَالرِّيحِ وَلَا يَنْشَبُ ذَاكَ أَنْ يَنْجُوَ ثُمَّ كَجَرْيِ الْفَرَسِ ثُمَّ كَسَعْيِ الرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ كَرَمَلِ الرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ كَمَشْيِ الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرَهُمْ إِنْسَانًا رَجُلٌ قَدْ لَوَّحَتْهُ النَّارُ وَلَقِيَ فِيهَا شَرًّا حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّ وَسَلْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَتَهْزَأُ مِنِّي وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ تَمَنَّ وَسَلْ قَالَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْقَطَعَتِ الْأَمَانِيُّ قَالَ لَكَ مَا سَأَلْتَ مِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ مَعَهُ  

[Machine] A man from Bajilah came to Abdullah and said, "I have married a young virgin girl, and I fear that I may harm her." Abdullah responded, "Intercourse with love (gentleness) is from Allah, and roughness is from Shaytan. Make sure to instruct her to pray two units of prayer after you enter (upon her)." Al-A'mash said, "I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said, 'Abdullah said, and say, 'O Allah, bless my family and bless them for me. O Allah, provide me with sustenance from them and provide them with sustenance from me. O Allah, join us together in what is good and separate us if separation is better.'"  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ جَارِيَةً بِكْرًا وَإِنِّي قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَفْرِكَنِي فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ الْإِلْفَ مِنَ اللهِ وَإِنَّ الْفَرْكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِيُكَرِّهَ إِلَيْهِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَهُ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَمُرْهَا فَلْتُصَلِّ خَلْفَكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَقُلْ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي أَهْلِي وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيَّ اللهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْهُمْ وَارْزُقْهُمْ مِنِّي اللهُمَّ اجْمَعَ بَيْنَنَا مَا جَمَعْتَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ وَفَرِّقْ بَيْنَنَا إِذَا فَرَّقْتَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ  

[Machine] I have married a woman and I am afraid of discord. He said, "If you bring her, pray two Rak'ahs and say, 'O Allah, bless me in my wife and bless them in me. O Allah, bring us together in what is good and separate us in what is good when we separate.'"  

إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ الْفَرْكَ قَالَ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ بِهَا فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَقُلْ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي أَهْلِي وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيَّ اللهُمَّ اجْمَعَ بَيْنَنَا مَا جَمَعْتَ بِخَيْرٍ وَفَرِّقْ بَيْنَنَا إِذَا فَرَّقْتَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ  

[Machine] To say that Allah has commanded or prohibited something, and then Allah says to him, "You have lied," or to say that Allah has made something forbidden and permissible something else, and then Allah says to him, "You have lied."  

أَنْ يَقُولَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَ بِكَذَا وَنَهَى عَنْ كَذَا فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ أَوْ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ كَذَا وَأَحَلَّ كَذَا فَيَقُولُ اللهُ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ  

[Machine] "The one who maintains the prayer is like the one who knocks on the door, and whoever continues to knock on the door, it is almost certain that it will be opened for him."  

«مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُدِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَعُ الْبَابَ وَمَنْ يُدِيمُ قَرْعَ الْبَابِ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said to his companion, "Indeed, when you are in prayer, you are knocking on the door of the King. And whoever knocks on the door of the King frequently, it is likely that it will be opened for him."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّكَ مَا كُنْتَ فِي صَلَاةٍ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْرَعُ بَابَ الْمَلِكِ وَمَنْ يُكْثِرُ قَرْعَ بَابِ الْمَلِكِ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] "The virtue of the night prayer over the daytime prayer is like the virtue of secretly giving charity over making it public."  

«فَضْلُ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى صَلَاةِ النَّهَارِ كَفَضْلِ صَدَقَةِ السِّرِّ عَلَى الْعَلَانِيَةِ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah said: The virtue of night prayer over day prayer is like the virtue of secret charity over public charity."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «فَضْلُ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى صَلَاةِ النَّهَارِ كَفَضْلِ صَدَقَةِ السِّرِّ عَلَى الْعَلَانِيَةِ»  

[Machine] Abdullah is the master of the months of Ramadan and the master of the day of Friday.  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «سَيِّدُ الشُّهُورِ رَمَضَانُ وَسَيِّدُ الْأَيَّامِ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ»  

[Machine] Abdullah recited this verse, "The Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, as will be the heavens, and all creatures will come forth before Allah, the One, the Irresistible." He then said, "A piece of land will be brought forth like silver, untouched by bloodshed and unblemished by sin. The first judgment that will be passed among people on it will be regarding bloodshed."  

تَلَا عَبْدُ اللهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ} قَالَ «يُجَاءُ بِأَرْضٍ كَأَنَّهَا سَبِيكَةُ فِضَّةٍ لَمْ يُسْفَكْ عَلَيْهَا دَمٌ وَلَمْ تُعْمَلْ عَلَيْهَا خَطِيئَةٌ فَأَوَّلُ مَا يُحْكَمُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِ فِي الدِّمَاءِ»  

[Machine] "The Most Merciful of the Merciful"  

«الْأَوَّاهُ الرَّحِيمُ»  

[Machine] About Abdullah's statement "Indeed, Abraham was soft-hearted", he said "the soft-hearted refers to being merciful."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَأَوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ} قَالَ «الْأَوَّاهُ الرَّحِيمُ»  

[Machine] "He is prayer."  

«هُوَ الدَّعَّاءُ»  

[Machine] "O Abu Abdurrahman, what is lamentation?" said Ar-Raheem. He replied, "What is extravagant?" He said, "What is wasteful expenditure." He then asked, "What is aid?" He replied, "What do people cooperate with each other in, meaning the difficulties."  

يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا الْأَوَّاهُ؟ قَالَ الرَّحِيمُ قَالَ فَمَا التَّبْذِيرُ؟ قَالَ «مَا أُنْفِقَ فِي غَيْرِ حَقٍّ» قَالَ فَمَا الْمَاعُونُ؟ قَالَ «مَا يَتَعَاوَنُ النَّاسُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَعْنِي الْعَوَارِي»  

[Machine] "The spending of money in an unlawful manner." And he asked him about the times, he said, "The Merciful (Allah)."  

«إِنْفَاقُ الْمَالِ فِي غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ» وَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْأَوَّاهِ قَالَ «الرَّحِيمُ»  

[Machine] To Abdullah, whom do we ask if we don't ask you? Abdullah's servant replied, "What a pity!" Abdullah said, "The Merciful." Abdullah asked, "Then what is the community?" The servant replied, "The one who knows what is good." Abdullah asked, "So what is the obedient one?" The servant said, "The one who is obedient." Abdullah asked, "Then what is the assistance?" The servant replied, "It is when people cooperate with each other." Abdullah then asked, "So what is wastefulness?" The servant replied, "It is spending money inappropriately."  

لِعَبْدِ اللهِ مَنْ نَسْأَلُ إِنْ لَمْ نَسْأَلْكَ؟ فَرَقَّ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقَالَ مَا الْأَوَّاهُ؟ قَالَ «الرَّحِيمُ» قَالَ فَمَا الْأُمَّةُ؟ قَالَ «الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ الْخَيْرَ» قَالَ فَمَا الْقَانِتُ؟ قَالَ «الْمُطِيعُ» قَالَ فَمَا الْمَاعُونُ؟ قَالَ «مَا يَتَعَاوَنُ النَّاسُ بَيْنَهُمْ» قَالَ فَمَا التَّبْذِيرُ؟ قَالَ «إِنْفَاقُ الْمَالِ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ»  

[Machine] "Spending without justification"  

«الْإِنْفَاقُ فِي غَيْرِ حَقٍّ»  

[Machine] "He is spending money without any right."  

«هُوَ النَّفَقَةُ فِي غَيْرِ حَقٍّ»  

[Machine] We, the companions of Muhammad ﷺ , used to talk about how the water container, the pot, and the axe are indispensable.  

كُنَّا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّ الْمَاعُونَ الدَّلْوُ وَالْقِدْرُ وَالْفَأْسُ لَا يُسْتَغْنَى عَنْهُمْ  

[Machine] In his saying, "Al-Ma'un", he said: "the axe, the pot, and the bucket."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ §الْمَاعُونَ قَالَ «الْفَأْسُ وَالْقِدْرُ وَالدَّلْوُ»  

[Machine] In his statement {§And they withhold assistance}, he said, "It is the wealth that is not given its right." I said, "Indeed, Ibn Mas'ud says, 'It is what people exchange amongst themselves of good deeds.'" He said, "That is what I am telling you."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ} قَالَ «هُوَ الْمَالُ الَّذِي لَا يُعْطَى حَقُّهُ» قُلْتُ إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «هُوَ مَا يَتَعَاطَى النَّاسُ بَيْنَهُمْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ» قَالَ ذَاكَ مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ  

During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we used to consider ma'un (this of daily use) lending a bucket and cooking-pot. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1657)   

«كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُنَّا نَعُدُّ الْمَاعُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَارِيَةَ الدَّلْوِ وَالْقِدْرِ وَأَشْبَاهَ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] "We used to count the buckets, the axe, the pot."  

«كُنَّا نَعُدُّ الْمَاعُونَ الْفَأْسَ وَالْقِدْرَ وَالدَّلْوَ»  

[Machine] In His saying, "Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of Hell," He said, "Coffins of iron will be sealed upon them."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِي الدَّرْكِ} الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ «تَوَابِيتُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ تَطْبُقُ عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] In his statement, "So we have a stable and a deposit," the stable refers to the mother's womb, while the deposit refers to the earth in which a person dies.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ} قَالَ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ الرَّحِمُ وَالْمُسْتَوْدَعُ الْأَرْضُ الَّتِي يَمُوتُ فِيهَا  

[Machine] "Abdullah is entrusted in the world and settled in the womb."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «مُسْتَوْدَعُهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَمُسْتَقَرُّهَا فِي الرَّحِمِ»  

[Machine] In his statement, "and from the cattle as pack animals and bedding," he said, "The pack animals are what are carried by camels, and the bedding refers to the young ones."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§وَمِنَ الْأَنْعَامِ حَمُولَةً وَفَرْشًا} قَالَ «الْحَمُولَةُ مَا حَمَلَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَالْفَرْشُ الصِّغَارُ»  

[Machine] In his saying, "Do they wait except for the angels to come to them, or for your Lord to come, or for some signs of your Lord to come on the day when some signs of your Lord come? On that day, belief will not benefit a soul that did not believe before." He said, "The rising of the sun with the moon from its setting place is like the meeting of two companions."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ} قَالَ «طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مَعَ الْقَمَرِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا كَالْبَعِيرَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ»  

[Machine] In His statement {On the day when some of the signs of your Lord will come, no soul's faith will benefit it}, He said, "The rising of the sun from its west."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا} قَالَ «طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا»  

[Machine] "Excessive spending."  

«النَّفَقَةُ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ»  

[Machine] "In His saying, 'Therefore, it is no sin for them if they discard their outer clothing, not showing adornment.' He said, 'The outer garment.'"  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ بِزِينَةٍ} قَالَ «الرِّدَاءُ»  

[Machine] Regarding this verse, "{And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision}," it is narrated that the souls of the martyrs are like green birds, with lamps hanging from the Throne, roaming freely in Jannah wherever they wish. Allah then looks at them and says, "Do you desire anything so that I may increase it for you?" They reply, "Our Lord, are we not roaming freely in Jannah and have whatever we desire?" Allah does this thrice, and on the third time, they request for their souls to be returned to their bodies in order to fight in His cause and be killed again. Allah then remains silent regarding their request.  

عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ} إِلَى {يُرْزَقُونَ} قَالَ «أَرْوَاحُ الشُّهَدَاءِ عِنْدَ اللهِ ﷻ كَطَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ لَهَا قَنَادِيلُ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالْعَرْشِ تَسْرَحُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ» قَالَ فَاطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ اطِّلَاعَةً فَقَالَ هَلْ تَشْتَهُونَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَزِيدُكُمُوهُ؟ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَلَسْنَا نَسْرَحُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فِي أَيِّهَا حَيْثُ شِئْنَا؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَشْتَهُونَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَزِيدُكُمُوهُ؟ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَلَسْنَا نَسْرَحُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فِي أَيِّهَا حَيْثُ شِئْنَا؟ ثُمَّ اطَّلَعَ إِلَيْهِمُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَشْتَهُونَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَزِيدُكُمُوهُ؟ قَالُوا تُعِيدُ أَرْوَاحَنَا فِي أَجْسَادِنَا فَنُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِكَ فَنُقْتَلْ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى قَالَ «فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] "In His statement, 'Its fuel is people and stones,' He said, 'Stones made of sulfur that Allah ﷻ makes them as He wills and however He wills.'"  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ} قَالَ «حِجَارَةٌ مِنْ كِبْرِيتٍ يَجْعَلُهَا اللهُ ﷻ عِنْدَهُ كَيْفَ شَاءَ وَكَمَا شَاءَ»  

[Machine] In his saying {and say "hitata" (give us penance)}, he said, they said "hinta" (wheat grain), a red one which contains a thin hair. That is his saying {so he substituted a saying other than what was said to them}  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ} قَالَ قَالُوا حِنْطَةٌ حَبَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ فِيهَا شَعِيرَةٌ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ}  

[Machine] In his saying, "So whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him. And whoever delays [until the third] - there is no sin upon him." He said, "He is forgiven."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ} قَالَ «مَغْفُورٌ لَهُ»  

[Machine] These verses were revealed from the end of Surah Al-Baqarah "The Messenger has believed" from a treasure under the throne.  

أُنْزِلَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآيَاتِ مِنْ آخِرِ الْبَقَرَةِ {آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ} مِنْ كَنْزٍ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ  

[Machine] The verse that came after it abrogated it {It has what it has earned and upon it is what it has earned}.  

نَسَخَتْهَا الْآيَةُ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا {لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ}  

[Machine] Indeed, this path is dying out; devils are approaching it. They say, "O servants of Allah, this is the path, so hold fast to the rope of Allah. Indeed, the straight path is the book of Allah."  

إِنَّ هَذَا الصِّرَاطَ مُحْتَضَرٌ تَحْضُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ يَقُولُونَ يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقُ فَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ فَإِنَّ الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ كِتَابُ اللهِ  

[Machine] About Abdullah's saying "And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together," Abdullah said, "The Quran."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا} قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «الْقُرْآنُ»  

[Machine] "The rope of Allah ﷻ is the community."  

«حَبْلُ اللهِ ﷻ هُوَ الْجَمَاعَةُ»  

[Machine] In his statement, "Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides," he said, "If you are unable to pray standing, then sitting, and if not, then lying down."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَى جُنُوبِهِمْ} قَالَ «§إِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ قَائِمًا فَقَاعِدًا وَإِلَّا فَمُضْطَجِعٌ»
