The questioner : A questioner says: The Honorable Shaykh! I ask you to explain this hadith: Aws ibn Aws al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say regarding the washing on Friday: Sunan Ibn Majah 1087Sahih (Darussalam). It was narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and al-Tirmidhi. And he said: A good hadith, and al-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, Ibn Khuzaymah, and Ibn Hibban in their Sahihs, and al-Hakim, who authenticated it, and it is in Sahih al-Albani. HonorableThe Shaykh : And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The Shaykh : Offered, offered, as if he offered.
The questioner : the hadith. When does the first hour begin? And does the day of Friday begin with the appearance of dawn or with the rising of the sun? I ask you to clarify this. May Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims, and may He benefit us through you.
The Shaykh : As for the first hadith: regarding the virtue ofMishkat al-Masabih 1388 the hadith is fine in terms of its chain of narration and there is no defect in it. But regarding the fact that such a great reward is attached to it, some people may find it strange. But - my brother - do not be surprised by the favor of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Do not be surprised; it may be that the deed is a small deed and it has a great reward. And the favor of Allah the Exalted is vast. But what does mean? It means: washed by cleaning the body, and performed ghusl means: he excelled in that, or performed ghusl like the ghusl for janabah. means: he excelled in being early. is clear. is also clear. So strive - my brother - to perform ghusl on Friday, because the ghusl of Friday is obligatory for every adult. And the evidence for its obligation is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): Riyad as-Salihin 1152. This hadith was narrated by the seven: al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, and Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him). They all narrated it Riyad as-Salihin 1152. This is the speech of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Do you find anyone who knows the Shari'ah of Allah better than the Messenger of Allah? Answer? No. Do you find anyone who is more sincere to the servants of Allah than the Messenger of Allah? No. Do you find anyone who is more eloquent in expressing what is in his heart than the Messenger of Allah? No. All of creation cannot compare to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this. Do you find anyone who knows better what he says than the Messenger of Allah? Never. And he said: Then he attached it to a description that implies obligation, which is adulthood. He said: . I believe if this phrase had come in a book of fiqh, the commentators would say: The author holds what? The obligation of ghusl. How much more so when it came from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?? Then, when you have performed ghusl, strive to hasten and be early in the first hour, then the second, then the third, then the fourth, then the fifth . And the beginning of these hours is from the rising of the sun. And I swear, divide the time between the rising of the sun and the arrival of the imam into five parts, whether the duration is long or short, because the time differs between winter and summer. Yes. Brothers.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : ... Oh Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah give them life.
