The Shaykh: [Ali 'Imran 3:102] , [An-Nisa 4:1] , [Al-Ahzab 33:70-71] , As for what follows:
"The Chapter on Revering the Elderly." The author (may Allah have mercy on him) repeated a hadith that was mentioned previously with different wording in the preceding chapter, namely the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1919Hasan (Darussalam). As I indicated earlier, this hadith appeared before, but with wording that differs slightly from this wording. The closest wording to it is the last one in the preceding chapter, where it said here in the previous chapter: . So here, in the hadith of Ibn Umar in this chapter, it says: . The meaning is the same; "to revere" (yujillu) and "to honor" (yuqqu) mean the same thing, which is to magnify. As for "respect" (al-ihtram), this is a common, incorrect usage. For example, one writes "to so-and-so the respected" instead of "the revered" or "the honored." This is an incorrect expression, because "respect" is derived from a root that means something that does not befit the description of a revered man; it seems to carry the meaning of "the missing one." Therefore, the correct expression is "the honored" (al-muqarram) or "the revered" (al-mujall) or the like. I will not dwell here for long beyond clarifying that "to honor" (yuqqu) means "to revere" (yujillu), because we had already commented on the hadith in the chapter before this one.
O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَO mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا(70) O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. (71) He will [then] amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا * يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا"The Chapter on Revering the Elderly." The author (may Allah have mercy on him) repeated a hadith that was mentioned previously with different wording in the preceding chapter, namely the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He is not one of us who does not have mercy on our young and does not respect our elders.
ليس منَّا من لم يرحَمْ صغيرنا ، ويوقِّرْ كبيرناand revere our elders.
ويُجِلُّ كبيرناand honor our elders.
ويوقِّر كبيرنا
