Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "and the companion in a state of major ritual impurity," and clarification of a rule in exegesis with examples
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :[An-Nisa 4:36] It was said: it is the wife, and the wife has a right upon the husband. It was also said: it is the one who accompanies you, traveling with you going and returning, because he is always by your side. If someone were to say that the verse includes both meanings, he would be correct. And I am giving the students of knowledge now a useful rule: "If a Qur'anic verse or a Prophetic hadith contains two meanings or is susceptible to two meanings, and neither contradicts the other, and there is no evidence preferring one over the other, then it is obligatory to apply it to both." I will ask you about this rule, if Allah wills, now, either before the iqamah if possible, or after the iqamah. "If a text from the Qur'an or the Sunnah is susceptible to two meanings, and neither contradicts the other, and there is no evidence preferring one over the other, then what is obligatory? Applying it to both meanings." Because Allah Mighty and Majestic knows what He intends, and as long as His speech is susceptible to both matters, it is the truth. And the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, also knows what he intends, and as long as his speech is susceptible to both meanings, it is the truth. Pay attention to this rule. But if one of them contradicts the other, then look for the stronger position. For example, Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:228] The quru' is the plural of qur'.
The student: Qur'.
The Shaykh : Error.
The student: Qar'.
The Shaykh : Who said qar'? Who said it in all cases? The correct is qar' with an open fathah. Some scholars said: the quru' are the menstruations. And others said: the quru' are the periods of purity. Here, is it possible to apply the verse to both meanings? It is not possible, because purity contradicts menstruation. It is not possible. So we seek the stronger position. Good. And some scholars said regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Takwir 81:17-18] Some said: 'asa' means it approached. And some said: 'asa' means it departed. The word, from the perspective of the Arabic language, is susceptible to both meanings. Do we apply it to both meanings? Being susceptible to both meanings means that He swore by the night when it departs and when it approaches. We say there is a stronger position now. It is permissible that Allah swore by the night, because approaching is a state and departing is a state, and there is no contradiction. But we say that what is stronger is that the intended meaning is the approach of the night, because Allah said: [At-Takwir 81:18] the dawn when it brightens. If it brightens, it is the departure of the night. So we say the verse has a stronger position that the intended meaning is when it 'asa', when it approaches, because in the approach and departure of the night is a great sign from the signs of Allah. Can anyone bring the night when the day has come, or bring the day when the night has come? It is not possible. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Qasas 28:71] And He said, Exalted and Majestic is He: [Al-Qasas 28:72] That is all. If it means it is susceptible to both meanings, and there is no contradiction and no stronger position, it must be applied to both meanings. And Allah knows best. Now, after the prayer, answers to the questions, if Allah wills.
