Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The following benefits are derived from this hadith:
First: The permissibility of entering upon a woman while traveling. Where is this derived from?
From the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) entry upon Safiyyah between Madinah and Khaybar.
And among its benefits is also: that it is recommended to build a special tent for the husband and his family, based on the action of the Companions with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
And among the benefits of the hadith: that one should not be too shy to have a special tent built for him among the people if it is for the sake of marriage. Some people may feel shy and say: How can I single myself out for a tent?
So we say: You are not more modest than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and yet a tent was built for him in front of the people. There is no harm in saying: The man has married, and we built him a tent to be with his family.
And among the benefits of this hadith: The permissibility of appointing an agent to invite people to the wedding feast.
Due to Anas’s statement:Sahih al-Bukhari 5387.
And among the benefits of the hadith: That the feasts of the Messenger (may Allah’s prayers and blessings be upon him) were not difficult ones, but according to the circumstances. Sometimes he held a feast with two mudds of barley, and sometimes he held a feast with leather mats that were spread out, and dried cheese, ghee, and dates were placed on them. This is certainly more than two mudds of barley.
And among the benefits of this hadith: That it is permissible to place dates, dried cheese, and ghee in one container and mix them. Is that correct?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, what?
The student: It is permissible all the time.
The Shaykh : It is permissible all the time, so we do not derive a ruling from it. That is, it is not said: There is, for example, a disrespect to some of the blessings in this. We say: This is food that a person prepares as he wishes. He may mix one thing with another, or mix another thing with something else other than what he mixed it with. This returns to people’s tastes and their customs.
And among the benefits of this hadith: Anas ibn Malik’s (may Allah be pleased with him) indication that one should not be extravagant in feasts, due to his statement:Sunan an-Nasa'i 3382Sahih (Darussalam).
