Benefits of the hadith of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This hadith provides evidence for several issues:
First: It proves the permissibility of Jews remaining in Madinah, because this Jew was present during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he did not expel him; in fact, he remained until he died, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while his armor was pledged with this Jew. However, it may be said that this was abrogated by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1606Sahih (Darussalam) and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 1767a With these two hadiths, the Jews and Christians were expelled from the Arabian Peninsula. And his saying: Sahih Muslim 1767a In these two hadiths, there is evidence of the seriousness of what many people do today by bringing in Christian servants and maids to the Arabian Peninsula. I fear that those who bring in these Christian servants, whether drivers or maids, may face the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as their opponent on the Day of Resurrection, because it is He who said and advised us, saying: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1606Sahih (Darussalam) and he said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1606Sahih (Darussalam) Therefore, a person must be cautious. Furthermore, bringing in Jews and Christians as servants or maids is harmful from the perspective of the family, because the family will see that these people do not fast or pray, and they may imitate them in the future. Also, we do not feel safe that these servants and maids might be from those who teach, and thus they might teach these boys the religion of the Christians, and these offspring and boys may, may Allah spare us, have deviated from the straight path. For this reason, we warn with the utmost warning against bringing in servants or maids if they are not Muslims. In this hadith, there is evidence for the permissibility of pledging, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it, as is also mentioned in the noble verse. However, this adds to the permissibility of pledging in the city, whereas the noble verse only mentions Allah’s reference to pledging during travel. But pledging in the city is permissible, just as it is permissible during travel. It also provides evidence for the permissibility of trading with Jews and Christians through buying and selling, which is indeed the case. It is permissible for us to trade with Jews and Christians through buying and selling, provided that this transaction does not include any harm to us in our religion. As for merely worldly dealings with them, there is nothing wrong with it and no blame. Yes. The time for questions has arrived. Seven o'clock minus a quarter, okay, questions.
