Benefits of the Hadith: (Urwah said: Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In this hadith, there are the following benefits:
The good character of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his treatment of his family. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, encouraging his Ummah to be the best to their families:
The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives. خيركم خيركم لأهله وأنا خيركم لأهلي
Sunan Ibn Majah 1977Hasan (Darussalam)
.
Whoever reflects on his conduct in his treatment of his family finds that this applies exactly to his situation.
One of the benefits of this hadith is that a person should follow the example of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in this matter, such that he is gentle, easy-going, and familiar with his family, not distancing himself from them or prolonging that distance.
One of the benefits of this hadith is that it is permissible for a man with several wives to visit them all every day, and that this is not considered injustice in the division of time. Where is this derived from?
From the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because we know that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most just of people, and yet he would go around his wives.
And among them is that the closer a person is to his family, the more affection and intimacy increase between them, and this is an observed reality. And the further he is, the more estrangement may occur.
One of the benefits of this hadith is that he does not have intercourse with the wife whose turn it is not, based on her saying:
without touching من غير مسيس
And as we said, "maysis" (touching) means intercourse.
One of the benefits of this hadith is that the basis of the division of time is staying overnight, meaning the night, based on her saying:
till he reached the one whose day it was, and spent the night with her حتى يبلغ التي هو يومها فيبيت عندها
Bulugh al-Maram 8:109
, and it is so, for the basis of the division is the night. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said: "And an exception to this is if a man's livelihood is at night, then his basis is the day". For example, whose livelihood is at night?
Like a guard, for example, the guard, and like the soldiers now, for they work in shifts, and sometimes a soldier's shift is at night.
And among them is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), despite the multitude of his occupations, and that he was the leader of the Ummah, its ruler, and its judge, did not neglect the rights of his family, as he would go around his nine or eight wives every day. And this is undoubtedly what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) makes a blessing in a person's life, for many people waste their time, and when they account for themselves at sleep, they find that they have done nothing. And some people, Allah blesses their day and their life, so when they account for themselves at sleep, they find that they worked, worked and worked.
So when it is asked: What is the way that makes our times blessed?
We said: The remembrance of Allah, and the evidence for that is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect. ولا تطع من أغفلنا قلبه عن ذكرنا واتبع هواه وكان أمره فرطاً
[Al-Kahf 18:28]
, so if a person turns away from the remembrance of Allah and follows his desires, Allah removes the blessing from his life, may Allah protect us from that. But if he is constantly attached to his Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He), constantly remembering Allah with his heart, if he does not remember Him with his tongue, he remembers Him with his heart, if he does not remember Him with his limbs, he remembers Him with his heart, and this is what causes Allah to bless him in his life.
And let him know that a person can turn all his actions into remembrance of Allah, by not speaking except while seeking reward from Allah, and not ceasing from anything except while seeking reward from Allah, and not doing anything except while seeking reward from Allah for it, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas:
You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah's sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife's mouth. إنك لن تنفق نفقة تبتغي بها وجه الله إلا أجرت عليها حتى ما تجعله في فم امرأتك
Sahih al-Bukhari 56
.
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed:
That a man, if he spends on himself, it is charity أن الرجل إذا أنفق على نفسه فهو صدقة
, so the successful one, and I ask Allah to make me and you among them, is the one who can turn habits and desires into acts of worship, and at that time he is remembering Allah. So if you want Allah to bless you in your life and your time, then engage in the remembrance of Allah:
Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides الذين يذكرون قياما وقعودا وعلى جنوبهم
[Ali 'Imran 3:191]
.
And there is no doubt that the Messenger of Allah (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) was the most intense in the remembrance of Allah, and the most frequent in the remembrance of Allah, for this reason Allah blessed him in his life and his work, and in his saying and his doing. Yes.
He said: "And Muslim narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) who said:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the 'Asr (afternoon) prayer, he would visit his wives in turn, then come close to them (kiss or hug them). كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا صلى العصر دار على نسائه ثم يدنو منهن
Bulugh al-Maram 8:110
the hadith"
:
In the accusative case, meaning complete the hadith, so it is the object of a deleted verb, estimated to be "complete" or "read." Good.
