Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Al-Layth narrated to us from Yazid ibn Abi Habib from Abi al-Khayr from Abdullah ibn Amr: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1050.
The Shaykh : Yes, in the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy, "The chapter on spreading the greeting of peace is part of Islam". Spreading it means making it apparent and disseminating it among people, both in initiating and responding.
And Ammar ibn Yasir said: "Three things, if one gathers them, he has gathered faith: being just with yourself", and this is the most upright form of justice. And Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:135], and being just with oneself is that you treat others as you would love to be treated by them. The second is: "offering the greeting of peace to everyone", and this is not to be taken in its absolute generality, as will come in the hadith. And the third is: "spending from scarcity", meaning that you spend until you are not in a state of scarcity, so that you become: "from" a substitute, like His saying, the Exalted: [Az-Zukhruf 43:60] ...
Like His saying, the Exalted:[Az-Zukhruf 43:60], meaning: in your place. It is not a particle of partiality, nor for specifying the genus. It is possible that the intended meaning of scarcity in Ammar's statement is poverty, and the meaning would be spending while in poverty, like the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was asked: "Which charity is the best?" He said: .
As for the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Which of Islam is the best?" He said:Sahih Muslim 39. So feeding people is part of Islam; feeding people is part of Islam. However, this is not to be taken in its absolute sense either, but rather feeding those who need it. As for feeding people with extravagance and waste, or feeding people to use it as a means to commit a forbidden act, this is not part of Islam.
His saying:Sahih Muslim 39, "you recite it" means you say: "Peace be upon you." And his saying: Sahih Muslim 39, this is not to be taken in its absolute generality either, because those who are not permitted to be greeted first with peace are excluded from this, such as the Jews and the Christians, and likewise the rest of the disbelievers.
And in it is evidence that one who does not greet with peace except those he knows, this is not part of Islam, but rather a deficiency in his Islam. And that a person should greet with peace those he knows and those he does not know, from among those who deserve to be greeted first. Yes.
that a man asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Which is the best of Islam?" He replied, "Feeding people and giving the greeting to those you know and those you do not know."
أن رجلا سأل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : أي الإسلام خير ؟. قال : تطعم الطعام وتقرأ السلام على من عرفت ومن لم تعرفThe Shaykh : Yes, in the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy, "The chapter on spreading the greeting of peace is part of Islam". Spreading it means making it apparent and disseminating it among people, both in initiating and responding.
And Ammar ibn Yasir said: "Three things, if one gathers them, he has gathered faith: being just with yourself", and this is the most upright form of justice. And Allah the Exalted said:
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves
يا أيها الذين آمنوا كونوا قوامين بالقسط شهداء لله ولو على أنفسكمAnd if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth.
ولو نشاء لجعلنا منكم ملائكة في الأرض يخلفونLike His saying, the Exalted:
And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels
ولو نشاء لجعلنا منكم ملائكةThe effort of the one with little
جهد المقلAs for the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Which of Islam is the best?" He said:
That you provide food and extend greetings
تطعم الطعام وتقرأ السلامHis saying:
extend greetings to one whom you know or do not know
تقرأ السلام على من عرفت ومن لم تعرفto one whom you know or do not know
على من عرفت ومن لم تعرفAnd in it is evidence that one who does not greet with peace except those he knows, this is not part of Islam, but rather a deficiency in his Islam. And that a person should greet with peace those he knows and those he does not know, from among those who deserve to be greeted first. Yes.
