Explanation of the Book of Prayer-11

The Shaykh :" And from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

If anybody amongst you is praying behind something as a Sutra and somebody tries to pass in front of him, then he should repulse him and if he refuses, he should use force against him for he is a Shaitan (a Satan).

إذا صلى أحدكم إلى شيء يستره من الناس فأراد أحد أن يجتاز بين يديه فليدفعه فإن أبي فليقاتله ، فإنما هو شيطان

Sahih al-Bukhari 509

Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and in another narration:

For he is with his companion.

فإن معه القرين

".
His statement: does not mean that the screen covers his entire body, but rather it means facing a screen, because the screen prevents people from passing between you and it. So the intended meaning is the screen.
And his statement: "one" is an indefinite noun in the context of a condition, because his statement: is conjoined to his statement: , so it falls within the scope of the condition, and the intended meaning of "one" is generality, whether it is a man or a woman, young or old.
to pass in front of him
The fa' is a connector for the answer, and it is the answer to the condition "if," and the lam in his statement: is the lam of command. It has been explained to you that the answer to a condition must be connected with the fa' in seven places. Yes?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : This is the rule, but this rule does not free one from the need for detail unless he is skilled in grammar. We want the details. Bring them.
The student: " Nominal, imperative, with a static verb, with ma, with qad, with lan, and with the sin/sawf (future markers) "

The Shaykh : Yes, if the answer to the condition is one of these seven, then it must be connected with the fa' or with the sudden "idha." Nominal means if the answer is a nominal sentence. Imperative means if the answer is an imperative sentence, a command or a prohibition or something similar. With a static verb means if the answer to the condition is a static verb; a static verb is one that does not change form, like "perhaps" (asa) and "is not" (laysa) and the like. With ma: means if it is connected with the negative ma, then it must be... Yes, meaning if the answer to the condition is connected with the negative ma, then the fa' must be connected with it. With qad: if it is connected with qad, the fa' is obligatory. With lan: if it is connected with lan, the fa' is obligatory. With the sin/sawf: if it is connected with the sin or sawf. There are many examples that pass by us, but these are the places where connection with the fa' or with the sudden "idha" is obligatory. However, it may come in poetry without being connected with the fa', as in his saying: " Whoever does good deeds, Allah is grateful for them " " Whoever does good deeds, Allah is grateful for them " This sentence is nominal and it lacks the fa', but it is due to necessity. Yes, good. So: Which of the seven types is it? Imperative.
meaning he refused means he pushes him with force and strength. The intended meaning of "fight" is not actual fighting, yes, not the fighting that leads to killing, because the blood of a Muslim is not made lawful for such a reason. But the intended meaning is pushing back with force, as he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said regarding the fasting person: . "Fight him" means striking. The sentence here is explanatory for the sentence before it: As if someone asks, why does he fight? He said, he is a devil, because he tried to spoil the prayer of the one praying or diminish its reward. And no one tries to spoil worship or diminish it except the devil. So the meaning of his statement: is that his action is the action of a devil, and that is because of the attempt? Did you finish?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Spoiling the worship or diminishing it. " Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and in another narration:

For he is with his companion.

فإن معه القرين

" The companion means one of the devils, meaning he is the one who ordered him to pass in order to spoil the worship. And there is no doubt that every sin is by the command of the devil and the soul that incites to evil, and every act of obedience is from the inspiration of the angel and the tranquil soul.
