Explanation of the author's statement: "The second point: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Ummah everything they need regarding the matters of religion and the world

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And the important thing is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Ummah everything they need regarding the matters of religion and the world, including the etiquettes of eating, drinking, sitting, sleeping, and so on, correct? The etiquettes of eating are found in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, or not? Do you agree that the etiquettes of eating are in the Qur'an and the Sunnah? Good, in the Qur'an?
The student: His saying, the Exalted...
and eat and drink, but be not excessive كلو واشربوا ولا تسرفوا
[Al-A'raf 7:31]


The Shaykh :
and eat and drink, but be not excessive كلو واشربوا ولا تسرفوا
[Al-A'raf 7:31]

The student:
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned ولا تأكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عليه
[Al-An'am 6:121]


The Shaykh :
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned ولا تأكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم الله عليه
[Al-An'am 6:121]

The student: ...

The Shaykh :
and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to remain for conversation فإذا طعمتم فانتشروا ولا مستأنسين لحديث
[Al-Ahzab 33:53]
to the finder
The student: ...

The Shaykh :
So eat of what they catch for you فكلوا مما أمسكن عليكم
[Al-Ma'idah 5:4]

The student:
and mention the name of Allah upon it واذكروا اسم الله عليه
[Al-Ma'idah 5:4]


The Shaykh : Yes, in the etiquettes of sitting
O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in assemblies, then make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are told, "Arise," then arise يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا قيل لكم تفسحوا في المجالس فافسحوا يفسح الله لكم وإذا قيل انشزوا فانشزوا
[Al-Mujadila 58:11]
likewise also in the etiquettes of sleeping, the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), in the etiquettes of drinking, in the etiquettes of drinking in the Qur'an
and eat and drink, but be not excessive كلوا واشربوا ولا تسرفوا
[Al-A'raf 7:31]
and the Sunnah clarified that as well,
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade فزجر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يشرب الرجل قائما
Sahih al-Bukhari 5628
and he commanded
The student: ...

The Shaykh : and
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank while standing شرب قائما النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36:22
drinking while standing,
Once he drank while standing from Zamzam مرة شرب قائما من زمزم
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:1951
And once he drank while standing from a hanging container ومرة شرب قائما من شن معلق
, so the first is for necessity and the second is for necessity, but the necessity is different. The first necessity is the narrowness of the place, and the second necessity is the inability to reach the drink. How can one sit and drink from a hanging container? We see that if you cannot, yes, there is no blame, right?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : But some people have a cup tied with a short chain, in any case, if you need it, there is no blame, praise be to Allah, the matter in this is...
Good, sleeping, sleeping taught us the etiquettes of sleeping, right?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, verbal and practical. We were commanded to sleep on our right side, or not? Good, were we commanded to sleep facing the Qiblah?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : We were not commanded, good, what if the right side conflicts with facing the Qiblah?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : The right side, because it is explicitly mentioned in the texts. Likewise, the etiquettes of waking up, the etiquettes of relieving oneself, and for this reason
A man from the polytheists said to Salman al-Farisi: "Has your Prophet taught you even how to relieve oneself, even how to relieve oneself?" He said, "Yes" قال رجل من المشركين لسلمان الفارسي : علمكم نبيكم حتى الخراءة حتى الخراءة ، قال أجل
, is that so? We were also taught the etiquettes of treating one's wife, or not? Praise be to Allah, so He left nothing out,
And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things ونزلنا عليك الكتاب تبيانا لكل شيء
[An-Nahl 16:89]
either by the Book itself or by the Sunnah, which completes the Book.
