Explanation of the Book of Purification-18

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :" And from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
None of you should hold penis with his right hand while urinating, or wipe himself with his right hand in privy and should not breathe into the vessel (from which he drinks). لا يمسَّن أحدكم ذكره بيمينه وهو يبول ، ولا يتمسح من الخلاء بيمينه ، ولا يتنفس في الإناء
Sahih Muslim 267a
Agreed upon "
:
His statement:
None of you should hold his private part لا يمسن أحدكم ذكره
: There is a grammatical issue here, which is: that the verb here is in the open case (fathah) despite being preceded by the negative particle "la"?
The student : Because it is connected to the emphatic nun.

The Shaykh : Because it is connected to the emphatic nun, that is correct. Now, this is countered by the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He):
Say, "Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed قل بلى وربي لتبعثن ثم لتنبؤن
[At-Taghabun 64:7]
So the taa is the last letter of the verb and it is in the closed case (dammah), and the hamzah is the last letter of the verb and it is in the closed case (dammah). Can you answer this, Ya Saleh?
The student : Because the nun in the verse is not directly connected.

The Shaykh : Because the nun in the verse is not directly connected. Allah is the Greatest!!
What is between them and the hamzah and the 'ayn?
The student : The deleted waw of the plural.

The Shaykh : The deleted waw of the plural, and the implied is like the existing. Do you agree with this?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : So the present tense verb is built on the open case (fathah) when the emphatic nun is connected to it, what? The student : Directly connected.

The Shaykh : Yes, the emphatic nun directly connected, in expression and in implication.
So it is built on the open case (fathah) because it is connected to the emphatic nun in a position of jussive.
And his statement:
None of you should hold penis with his right hand while urinating لا يمسن أحدكم ذكره بيمينه وهو يبول
Sahih Muslim 267a
The phrase:
with his right hand بيمينه
"with his right hand" means: with his right hand.
And his statement:
while urinating وهو يبول
: The phrase is a state (hal), meaning: while urinating.
or wipe himself with his right hand in privy ولا يتمسح من الخلاء بيمينه
Sahih Muslim 267a

with his right hand. (And while drinking) one should not breathe in the drinking utensil بيمينه ، ولا يتنفس في الإناء
Sahih al-Bukhari 154
means: when drinking, do not breathe into the vessel, i.e., the drinking vessel, because if he breathes into it, something may come out with the breath and fall into the water, making it disgusting to others, and it may cause him choking if he breathes into the vessel, causing him harm or injury, and it may result in what our brother Jabir said: germs attaching to the water, which would be harmful to his health or the health of others.
If someone asks: What is the relationship between his statement:
and he did not breathe into the vessel. ولا يتنفس في الإناء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3288Sahih (Darussalam)
and the two prohibitions before it?
We say: It is possible that Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated them separately, meaning that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
None of you should hold penis with his right hand while urinating, or wipe himself with his right hand in privy لا يمسن أحدكم ذكره بيمينه وهو يبول ولا يتمسح من الخلاء بيمينه
Sahih Muslim 267a
, then he heard him in another place say:
do not breathe into the vessel لا يتنفس في الإناء
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1889Sahih (Darussalam)
So Abu Qatadah combined them in one context for brevity.
It may also be said: When he mentioned what relates to relieving oneself from eating and drinking, it was appropriate to mention what relates to drinking, so he said:
and he did not breathe into the vessel. ولا يتنفس في الإناء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3288Sahih (Darussalam)
