The reader: ... and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. He said, may Allah have mercy on him, in the explanation of the Book of Tawhid on page eighty: "And in a narration, it says in the original text..."

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : How? Yes.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, good...

The questioner : ... this condition...

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : That is, if he merely informed, saying, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah"... if he were a hypocrite, for example, it would not benefit him, because the hypocrite informs just as Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." And Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are liars. قالوا نشهد إنك لرسول الله والله يعلم إنك لرسوله والله يشهد إن المنافقين لكاذبون
[Al-Munafiqun 63:1]
As for affirmation and submission, affirmation and submission are an explanatory apposition to acceptance; they are synonyms. Yes.
The reader: It says in the main text:
If they obey you in this respect, tell them that Allah has prescribed وفي رواية إلى أن يوحدوا الله فإن هم اطاعوك لذلك فأعلمهم أن الله افترض عليهم ..
Sunan Abi Dawud 1584Sahih (Al-Albani)


The Shaykh : Where is this?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : It is eighty, in the main text. Yes.
The reader:
tell them that Allah has prescribed five prayers on them every day and night. If they obey you in this regard tell them that Allah has prescribed sadaqah(zakat) on their property and returned it to their poor. If they obey you in this respect, do not take the best of their property. Beware of the curse of the oppressed, for there is no curtain between it and Allah. فأعلمهم أن الله افترض عليهم خمس صلوات في كل يوم وليلة فإن هم أطاعوك لذلك فأعلمهم أن الله افترض عليهم صدقة تؤخذ من أغنيائهم فترد على فقرائهم فإن أطاعوك لذلك فإياك وكرائم أموالهم واتق دعوة المظلوم فإنه ليس بينها وبين الله حجاب
Sunan Abi Dawud 1584Sahih (Al-Albani)


The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The reader: They both narrated it. It says in the explanation: "The Shaykh al-Islam said..."
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Heh.
The student: In the main text:
If they obey you. فان هم اطاعوك


The Shaykh : And here.
The student: ...

The Shaykh :
If they obey you in this regard tell them that Allah has prescribed sadaqah(zakat) فان هم اطاعوك لذلك فأعلمهم أن الله افترض عليهم صدقة
Sunan Abi Dawud 1584Sahih (Al-Albani)
If they obey you. فان هم اطاعوك

The student: It is missing.

The Shaykh : The last one:
If they obey you. فإن اطاعوك
The last one:
If they obey you for that. فإن اطاعوك لذلك

The student: In the main text...

The Shaykh : All of them are between them. Good. The truth is, it may be missing.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Heh.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : how
The student: ...

The Shaykh : The followers, the followers.
The student: ... first page.

The Shaykh : There is no... the hamza...
The student: ...

The Shaykh : The mīm and the wāw. Yes, yes.
The reader: It says in the explanation: "In His saying,
There is no god but Allah. لا إله إلا الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 3117Sahih (Al-Albani)
, it is the negation of divinity for other than Allah and its affirmation for Allah. For this reason, it came by way of restriction. His saying, it says in the main text: And they have from Sahl ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of Khaybar:
I will surely give the banner tomorrow to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him, and Allah will open [victory] through his hands. So the people spent the night discussing who would be given it. لأعطين الراية غدا رجلا يحب الله ورسوله ويحبه الله ورسوله يفتح الله على يديه ، فبات الناس يدوكون ليلتهم أيهم يعطاها
"

The student: ...

The Shaykh : The day of Khaybar. Yes.
The reader: It says in the explanation: "His saying,
I will surely give. لأعطين
, is emphatic..."


The Shaykh : The reality is, what is his saying,
A day يوم
? The end of the hadith has no explanation of the strange words. Do you not have its explanation? The end of the hadith of Mu'adh. Hmm, how...?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Good, let us see.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : How?
The student: He spoke about...

The Shaykh : The mosques? Did he speak about it? Good, go on.
The reader: "His saying, 'I will surely give'"...

The Shaykh : And the method followed is that it is being explained now. Yes.
The reader: "His saying, 'I will surely give,' is emphatic with three emphatic markers: the estimated oath, the lām, and the nūn. The estimated oath is: 'By Allah, I will surely give.' His saying,
The banner الراية
, is knowledge, and it is called a banner because it is seen, and it is what the commander of the army takes as a marker of his location. The liwā' (standard) is said to be the banner, or it is said to be what is rolled at its top, or rolled entirely. The difference is that the rāyah (banner) is flat and not folded"

The student: So the difference between them is

The Shaykh : Heh.
The student: So the difference between them is

The Shaykh : Yes, it does not contradict.
The reader: "It is flat and not folded, and the liwā' is folded, either at its top or entirely. The intended meaning of both is recognition, and for this reason it is called 'ilm (knowledge). His saying,
Tomorrow غدا
, is what comes after today, and amas (yesterday) is what comes before it. The original meaning is that ghad (tomorrow) is intended to mean the day following your day, and amas is intended to mean the one following"


The Shaykh : Following it.
The reader: "Following your day. And ghad may be intended to mean what is beyond that. He, the Exalted, said:
And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow ولتنظر نفس ما قدمت لغد
[Al-Hashr 59:18]
meaning the Day of Resurrection.
The student: And ghad may be intended to mean what is beyond that, and likewise amas may be intended to mean what is beyond that, meaning what is beyond the day that follows your day.

The Shaykh : Yes, correct. This is the best. We say after the verse... after the verse.
The reader: "
His saying,
Allah and His Messenger love يحب الله ورسولُه
"

The Shaykh : And His Messenger.
The reader: "
loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him يحب الله ورسولُه ويحبه الله ورسوله
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3725Da'if (Darussalam)
It affirms love from both sides. The love of Allah, the Exalted, is established, and it is from His active attributes because it has a cause. For Allah may hate..."
