Benefits of the Hadith of 'Abd al-Rahman.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the second hadith, it also contains evidence for increasing the amount of food. These people were more than one hundred, and yet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cut a portion of the dark meat from the belly for each one of them, meaning not from the rest of the meat. As we all know, the dark meat of the belly is not enough for ten people, and yet it was sufficient for one hundred and thirty men. Among its benefits is his saying: One might ask how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Is there a question in this for this man? It is as if he is saying, "Give it to us." The answer is no. But when he saw this man coming with his sheep, he thought he wanted it as hospitality for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions. Was it a sale or a gift? It was the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he would accept gifts and reward them. So when he said it was a sale, he bought from him. It also contains evidence for mentioning descriptions that indicate the narrator's certainty, in his saying: "A man came, a polytheist, shaven-headed, and tall." Because if he had said, "So a man came," that would have been sufficient. But this is evidence that he grasped the situation. It also contains the permissibility of storing meat, in his saying: Sahih al-Bukhari 5382 It also contains the prescription of storing for the absent one. And 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Dawud will argue against us based on this benefit with what? Yes, the books. We have prohibited storing for one who is absent, and this hadith indicates the permissibility, indeed the prescription, of storing for the absent one.
The questioner : We gave to the absent one based on ... one.
The Shaykh : That is, if we act, if Allah wills, according to the Sunnah.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : I mean, if there is a surplus, say, the permissibility and prescription of storing for the absent one if there is an excess. But if it is not enough for the absent one, the present one has more right, because his presence, especially in a lesson of knowledge, indicates his eagerness and desire for knowledge. All right, yes.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : All right, is there evidence for the permissibility of selling to the sultan, the judge, the ruler, and the prince? How is that? Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) bought from this man. It also contains evidence for the permissibility of buying from the disbelieving polytheist. Yes, that is so. And the Messenger bought from this disbelieving polytheist, and he bought from the Jew. Yes. Transactions are one thing, and religion is another. But if we know that when they sell to us they deceive us, we must be cautious, as in the sale of weapons, for example, and the like. In these cases, we must be cautious of them. But if there is no harm, the original ruling is the permissibility of dealing with the polytheist, selling to him, and buying from him.
Shall I sell or give?
أبيع أم عطيةShall I sell or give?
أبيع أم عطيةyet there remained a part of it in those two trays which I carried on the camel.
