Continuation of the chapter: "The chapter on one who visits a people and eats with them."

The Shaykh : All praise is due to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own selves and from the evil of our deeds. Whom Allah guides, none can mislead, and whom He leaves to mislead, none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.
As for what follows:
Indeed, the best of speech is the speech of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the worst of matters are their innovations, and every innovation is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire:
We are still in the chapter: "One who visits a people or eats with them", and we had read the first hadith and the second hadith from the chapter.
And now, our hadith today is the one narrated by the author with his authentic chain of narration.
From 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar: .
And the completion of the hadith: :
This hadith contains two issues:
The first issue: concerns the relationship between the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and 'Umar, where 'Umar saw a silk garment being sold in the market. Perhaps I mentioned in the previous lesson that a "hullah" is two garments, and in modern terminology today: a suit.
So 'Umar brought it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and offered to buy this garment to adorn himself and wear it on Friday or when receiving the delegations coming to him. The Messenger (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) excused himself from buying it by saying: : "Only one who has no share in the Hereafter wears the silk garment." "No share in the Hereafter" means: no portion, no lot in the Hereafter. This requires some clarification, because the apparent meaning of the hadith: "no lot in the Hereafter" means that he does not enter Paradise. The one who wears silk among men has no share in the Hereafter, meaning: he does not enter Paradise. So what is the meaning of the hadith, and is it on its apparent meaning or does it have another meaning?!
The answer: There are hadiths more explicit than this hadith in denying a Muslim's entry into Paradise for the reason of committing a certain sin, for example, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): , , meaning a talebearer, and I think this hadith has passed us by. And there are many and numerous hadiths on this pattern. And we had mentioned in a past lesson the interpretation or the scholars' words in explaining such hadiths: a talebearer, to the end of what we mentioned of examples. Does that mean that he committed disbelief with this act? Did he leave the religion because of this sin so that he does not enter Paradise?!
We had mentioned that the meaning of this hadith and its like: a talebearer and others, has many interpretations:
First interpretation: He does not enter Paradise absolutely if he considers this sin permissible with a heart that deems it permissible. He does not enter Paradise, a talebearer absolutely, if he considers this sin permissible with his heart and not just with his action. Meaning, he says, as many people today say, who also have no share, he says to you: "No halal, no haram, from today to the Day of Judgment is open." This means that he is a man who does not make things lawful or forbidden. So whoever commits a sin from the sins, whatever the nature of this sin, not caring about committing it, not feeling in himself that he is a sinner against his Lord, but rather when he commits this sin, he has committed it and considered it permissible with his heart, then this one does not enter Paradise absolutely. This is the first interpretation, and the apparent meaning of the hadith is to be understood on this basis.
The second interpretation: This type of people does not enter Paradise if he does not consider this sin permissible with his heart. He does not enter Paradise with the foremost of the first. This is the meaning of the hadith. He who backbites people does not enter Paradise; he enters Paradise, but later than the foremost of the first. Why?
Because he will be reckoned for his sin. So either it is forgiven for him due to one of the many causes that Allah the Exalted and Majestic legislated for His servants out of mercy for them, / or Allah does not forgive it for him, and he enters the Fire and is punished according to what he deserves of punishment, and then after that he comes out of the Fire and enters Paradise. So, every hadith that denies entry into Paradise for a Muslim for the reason of a certain sin must be understood on one of three meanings:
He who does such and such, considering it permissible with his heart, does not enter Paradise.
The second meaning: He does not enter Paradise with the foremost of the first, but only after a time.
The third meaning: He does not enter Paradise except after being punished.
On these three meanings, this hadith is interpreted: : meaning he has no absolute balance in Paradise. This is in the first case if he considers wearing silk permissible with his heart and says with his tongue or with his heart only without his tongue: "No halal, no haram." This one does not enter Paradise absolutely and does not smell the scent of Paradise.
The second meaning: meaning: he has no share in Paradise with the foremost of the first.
The third meaning: He has no share in Paradise except after being punished for his wearing of silk in this world.
This is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): .
