Explanation of the Book of Purification-12

The Shaykh : He said: "And from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the description of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) Hajj, he said:

We will start with that with which Allah started.

ابدؤوا بما بدأ الله به

Sunan an-Nasa'i 2962Sahih (Darussalam)

":
Jabir is: Ibn 'Abdullah ibn Harim (may Allah be pleased with him). He narrated the description of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) Hajj in a comprehensive and detailed manner. For this reason, it is correct to consider this hadith as a ritual guide, as Al-Albani did in *The Description of the Prophet's Hajj*, where he made it the primary source and attached the narrations not found in it. It is truly a ritual guide. Therefore, we see that if any hadiths are found that contradict it, they are to be prioritized over it, because he followed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) from the moment he entered the state of ihram until he exited it.
And this hadith was narrated by Muslim in the wording: , which is that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his tawaf, he prayed two rak'ahs behind the Maqam, then wiped the corner, meaning the Black Stone, then exited through the door of the mosque to al-Safa. When he approached it, he recited: إن الصفا والمروة من شعائر الله ، أبدأ بما بدأ الله به Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. I begin with what Allah began with. I begin with the wording of a report. He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse and then said: to make himself aware that he was only performing tawaf between al-Safa and al-Marwah and beginning with al-Safa in obedience to the command of Allah. Likewise, it is incumbent upon us, when we do what Allah has commanded, to be aware when doing it that we are obeying the command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because this gives a person an increase in sincerity and presence of mind in worship. When performing wudu', you feel that when you wash your face, you are obeying the saying of Allah: When you wash your hands, likewise. When praying, you are aware that Allah commanded you to establish it. When praying 'Asr, you are aware that you are praying the middle prayer for which Allah the Exalted specifically commanded its preservation, and so on. The important thing is that it is incumbent upon us to be aware when performing commands, what?
That we are obeying the command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
And therefore, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said regarding the verse of al-Saffat: They said: The poor are in greater need than the needy, because Allah began with them, and one only begins with the most important, then the next most important.
And his saying: Yes, because Allah said: , while the wording of al-Nasa'i said: with the wording of a command. And this, I mean the wording of the command, is explicit in that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) directed the command to his Ummah specifically in this act of worship. As for the narration of Muslim: , in reality, we are commanded to begin with what Allah began with, following the example of whom?
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because although he said it in the wording of a report, executing the command of Allah, for us it is in reality like a command, because Allah commanded us to follow the example of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). But it is an indirect command, rather through following the example. If someone says: This hadith is about Hajj, so why did the author bring it in the Book of Wudu'? We say: To clarify that this hadith is general in that we are commanded to begin with what Allah began with. Note that this branches out to us beginning with washing the face, then the hands, then the head, then the feet, because Allah began with that likewise.
