Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In this hadith, there are benefits
First, among the benefits of the hadith is that Satan has an effect on the body, to the extent that yawning may occur from him. This is attested by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 4719Sahih (Al-Albani) It is also attested by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that Satan has a whisper in the heart of the son of Adam, commanding him to sin and forbidding him from good. So Satan has an effect on the body. Does he have an effect on organic illness, or do we say this is an effect on psychological matters only, such as laziness, sadness, and grief, and the like? The first, or the second?
The student: The first.
The Shaykh : As for the transgressing jinn, they have an organic effect on the body. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) informed us, and therefore, when the child is placed out of his mother’s womb, you hear him crying. In any case, the effect of Satan on the body in terms of emotions, sadness, and joy in falsehood, and the like, is a known matter. But does he affect the organs? This is a matter of hesitation, except for what the texts have brought.
Among the benefits of this hadith is that the enmity of Satan lies in commanding sin and in creating laziness in obedience. That is, yawning is a sign of laziness, and if it occurs during prayer, it indicates that the prayer is heavy for the one praying.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that if a person is overcome by yawning, he is commanded to suppress it as much as he can. By this, we know the error of those who, when they yawn, make a noise that disturbs those around them. They are contrary to the Sunnah in this, because the sound can be suppressed. Some scholars said, if you want to suppress it, bite your lower lip. Bite your lower lip. Is that right, Salim? Yes? In any case, it is tried, but do not bite too hard, yes, because you might tear the lip without realizing it, but it is tried.
Now, and among the benefits of this hadith is affirming the ability and negating it for the human being, due to his saying:
And in it is also the affirmation of the will for the human being, due to his saying: So in that is a refutation of an innovating, misguided group. Who are they?
The student : The Jabriyyah.
The Shaykh : The Jabriyyah, yes. Questions? Yes.
