Explanation of the Book of Ablution, Ghusl, Menstruation, and Tayammum-01b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Ali ibn Abdullah narrated to us, saying: Jarir narrated to us from Mansur from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd from Kuraib from Ibn Abbas, who traced it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 141.
The Shaykh : It means that Satan will not harm it.
His statement (may Allah have mercy on him): "Chapter on the Mention of Allah in Every State" is open to consideration, because the mention of Allah has specific places. He only said: "in every state" in order to include ablution in that.
The scholars have differed regarding the mention of Allah in ablution. It was said that it is a condition for its perfection, and it was said that it is a condition for its validity. The correct view is that it is a condition for its perfection, not in terms of indication, but in terms of establishment, because it was not established from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), as Imam Ahmad said: "Nothing is established in this chapter".
For that reason, we said that it is a condition for perfection, because its attribution to the Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) causes the soul to be inclined to accept it, and the fact that its establishment is not proven in a correct manner prevents the soul from saying it is invalid. What? Invalidating the ablution without it. The closest view is that it is recommended, but whoever has a sound hadith in his view must say that it is a condition for the validity of ablution, and that ablution without it is not valid.
What does Shif al-Fatah say about: "Chapter on the Mention of Allah in Every State".
If anyone of you on having sexual relations with his wife said (and he must say it before starting) 'In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satan, and if it is destined that they should have a child then, Satan will never be able to harm that offspring.
