From the lessons of "Al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib," an explanation of the hadith: The Shaykh’s remarks on two hadiths

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ...
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. يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:71]
, 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 his family), 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.
Our last lesson ended with the hadith:
Indeed there is a fitnah for every Ummah, and the Fitnah for my Ummah is wealth. إن لكل أمة فتنة ، وفتنة أمتي المال
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2336Sahih (Darussalam)
, and now we proceed to the sixtieth hadith; and I mean that everything between the previous hadith:
Every nation has إن لكل أمة
and the hadith of tonight is all from what is not authentic among the hadiths of "Al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib," namely the fifty-sixth, fifty-seventh, fifty-eighth, and fifty-ninth hadiths; all these are weak hadiths, as we have done in these lessons, we avoid them and do not narrate them to you; because in what is authentic and established from the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is sufficiency from what is not authentic.
Our authentic hadith is the statement: And from Zayd ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
May Allah have mercy on the one who hears my words and conveys them to another. رَحِمَ الله مَن سمع مقالتي حتى يبلِّغَها غيره
- three times -; that is: the Messenger (peace be upon him) repeated this phrase:
May Allah have mercy on the one who hears my words and conveys them. رَحِمَ الله مَن سمع مقالتي حتى يبلِّغَها
three times.
Then he said (peace and blessings be upon him), pardon me, I made a mistake, the text of the hadith is:
May Allah have mercy on the one who hears my words and conveys them to another. رَحِمَ الله مَن سَمِعَ مقالتي حتى يبلِّغَها غيرَه
Then he said:
Three, or three times, that the heart of a Muslim man does not harbor malice toward them. ثلاث أو ثلاثًا لا يَغِلُّ - وفي رواية : لا يُغِلُّ - عليهنَّ قلبُ امرئٍ مسلم
. What are these three?
Sincerity of work for Allah. إخلاصُ العملِ لله
= -- come on, my brother -- =
Sincerity of work for Allah, giving sincere advice to the leaders of the Muslims, and sticking to their community; for their supplication encompasses those behind them. Indeed, if the worldly life is one's intention, Allah will place his poverty before his eyes, scatter his affairs, and he will not get from it except what is written for him. And if the Hereafter is one's intention, Allah will place his wealth in his heart, suffice him in his affairs, and the worldly life will come to him while she is humbled. إخلاصُ العَملِ لله ، والنصحُ لأئِمَّةِ المسلمينَ ، واللُّزومُ لِجمَاعَتهِم ؛ فإنَّ دُعاءَهُم يُحِيطُ مَن وراءَهم . إنَّه مَن تكُنِ الدنيا نِيَّتَهُ يَجعلِ اللهُ فَقرَهُ بينَ عينيهِ ، ويشَتِّتْ عليه ضَيعَتَهُ ، ولا يَأتِهِ منها إلا ما كُتِبَ له . ومَن تَكُنِ الآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَه يَجعَلِ اللهُ غِناهُ في قَلبِه ، ويَكفِيه ضَيعَتَهُ ، وتأتيهِ الدُّنيا وَهِيَ راغِمَةٌ
.
It was narrated by Ibn Majah, and its wording and explanation of its unusual terms were mentioned earlier in "Al-Faragh li al-'Ibadah," and by al-Tabarani, and the wording is his, and by Ibn Hibban in his "Sahih."
... and
Whoever hears my statement until he conveys it to another مَن سَمِعَ مقالتي حتى يبلِّغَها غيرَه
, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) invokes a curse upon the one who hears his hadith, then conveys to another what he did not hear from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); in this narration he says:
May Allah have mercy رَحِمَ الله
, and in another he says:
May Allah make radiant نضَّر الله
; and the result is the same; because the deceased ones have radiant faces.
May Allah have mercy on the one who hears my words رحم الله من سمع مقالتي
, and in the other hadith:
May Allah beautify a man who hears a saying of mine نضَّر الله امرأً سمع مقالتي
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2658Sahih (Darussalam)
, and this is a supplication from the Prophet (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) upon those who are tasked with transmitting the hadith to his Ummah (peace and blessings be upon him), in implementation of another hadith; namely his statement (peace and blessings be upon him):
Convey from me, even if it be an Ayah بلِّغوا عنِّي ولو آية
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2669Sahih (Darussalam)
. The intended meaning of the word "ayah" in this hadith is not the customary Islamic meaning, which is the noble verse from the Qur'an, but rather the intended meaning of this word in the hadith is broader than that; namely: the sentence. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says:
Convey from me, even if it be an Ayah بلِّغوا عنِّي ولو آية
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2669Sahih (Darussalam)
; that is: even if it is a sentence; whether this sentence is from the Book of Allah or from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This transmission is a collective obligation; if some people perform it, it drops from the rest. So this which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, namely its transmission, is what he supplicated for its doer (peace be upon him) in this hadith that Allah have mercy on him, or in that hadith:
May Allah beautify a man who hears a saying of mine نضَّر الله امرأً سمع مقالتي
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2658Sahih (Darussalam)
, he supplicated for him with radiance; and therefore the explainers of the hadith, when they explain this particular phrase:
May Allah make radiant a man نضَّر الله امرأً
, they said: And Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) responded to the supplication of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the narrators of the hadith and those who transmit it to his Ummah, so you find on their faces the radiance that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for these individuals from the Ummah.
