Explanation of the Book of the Adhan-01b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: Isma'il ibn Ja'far narrated to us from Humayd from Anas ibn Malik that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he would campaign against a people with us, would not attack them until morning came and he would look. If he heard the adhan, he would hold back from them; and if he did not hear the adhan, he would raid them. He said: So we set out for Khaybar and reached them at night. When morning came and he did not hear the adhan, he mounted his mount, and I mounted behind Abu Talhah, and my foot was touching the foot of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: So they came out to us with their spades and hoes. When they saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they said: "Muhammad, by Allah! Muhammad and the army." He said: So when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 610.
The Shaykh : Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Chapter: What blood is preserved by the adhan." This means that when the adhan is heard, it preserves the blood of the town from which the adhan is heard. This indicates that the adhan is one of the apparent signs of Islam. For this reason, the scholars said that if the people of a town leave it off, they are fought until they bring back the adhan, because this is one of the apparent signs of Islam. So leaving it off, O pilgrims, makes their blood permissible to be shed. Then he mentioned the hadith of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), when he campaigned against a people, would wait. If he heard the adhan, he would not advance and would not campaign against them, because this indicates that the lands are lands of Islam. And if he did not hear the adhan, he would campaign against them and raid them. He mentioned their departure to Khaybar. Khaybar is farms and fortresses. The book was placed on the ground and covered. Khaybar is fortresses and farms of the Jews, and most of those in it were from Banu Nadir, because they had come out of Madinah and settled there, and some of them went to Azraq in Sham. When morning came and he did not hear the adhan, he raided them (peace and blessings be upon him). They came out with the spades, meaning the hoes, and the hoes, because they were farmers. When they saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they said: "Muhammad, by Allah, and the army." This means this is Muhammad, and they do not say "Messenger of Allah" because they do not acknowledge his messengership; they are denying it, even though they know him as they know their own sons. "Al-Khamis" means the large army. It is as if, and Allah knows best, they came out in a state of terror. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Allahu Akbar" twice. "Indeed, when we descend upon the territory of a people, the morning of the warned ones is wretched." "Bi-sahat-him" means around them. "The morning of the warned ones is wretched" means that they will be afflicted with misery and wretchedness. In this is evidence for the takbir when terror appears in the enemies, because the takbir makes the one saying it feel that he is above this enemy. As people do now in their campaigns in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and likewise in Chechnya, and likewise in Afghanistan before, when they face the disbelievers, they taunt them with the takbir, until some of these enemies began to say "Allahu Akbar," making it seem as if they are among the soldiers of the Muslims. But the Muslims, and praise be to Allah, know them. Yes. And his saying "Allahu Akbar" means He is greater than everything in His essence and in His attributes (Mighty and Majestic). So He has majesty in the heavens and the earth[Az-Zumar 39:67]. But a person must protect himself from thinking about the essence of Allah, because the sight will return humbled and dejected, and he will not be able to reach the limit. Rather, he thinks about the names of Allah and His attributes and what is related to that, and he believes that Allah the Exalted is above everything and greater than everything. Yes.
Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.
