Benefits of the Hadith of the Man Who Slaughtered Before the Prayer, with Explanation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Among the benefits of this hadith is that if one anticipates an act before its proper time, it is not valid, whether he is a generalist or ignorant. For example, if one prays the prayer before its time, thinking that the time has entered, and it is later revealed that it had not entered, his prayer is not valid; the first prayer becomes a voluntary prayer. This is because he intended the prayer to be restricted to being, for instance, the Zuhr prayer, so the restriction of it being Zuhr is nullified, and the original intention remains that it is a prayer. For this reason, the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) stated a rule: "The obligatory prayer becomes a voluntary prayer when its non-existence is revealed." They cited as an example of this: if one prays before the time.
His statement:
I do not know whether that permission فلا أدري أبلغت الرخصة
Sahih al-Bukhari 954
Who said this, Anas or someone else?
The reader: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, that is complete. And what do you have, Khalid, like this? The reader: This is the first opening, shall I look at the second?

The Shaykh : Did he say anything?
The reader: He did not say anything.

The Shaykh : All right, his statement
I do not know whether that permission was valid only for him or for others as well. فلا أدري أبلغت الرخصة من سواه أم لا
Sahih al-Bukhari 954
The apparent meaning from al-‘Ayni’s words is that it is from the statement of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and perhaps the hadith of al-Bara’ that follows did not reach him, in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
it will not be sufficient for anyone after you لا تجزئ عن أحد بعدك
Sahih al-Bukhari 5563
.
However, it may be said that this does not necessarily mean that ... did not reach him, because Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) may be understood from his statement
it will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice) after you لم تجزئ عن أحد بعدك
Sahih Muslim 1961i
to mean that it will not be accepted for anyone whose condition is not like your condition. Thus, the meaning of "after you" is "after you" in description, not in time, as chosen by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
