Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
He said: "Camels or cows – Isحاق's doubt" قال الإبل أو البقر شك إسحاق
, Isحاق is one of the narrators, but the apparent meaning is that it is camels; the apparent meaning is that it is camels, as the context indicates. Camels or cows; also, did he ask for the lowest or the highest of wealth? The highest. He says
So he gave him a ten-month pregnant she-camel فأعطي ناقة عشراء
So he gave him a ten-month pregnant she-camel فأعطي ناقة عشراء
, Glory be to Allah, where did the she-camel come from? Allah the Mighty and Majestic made it subservient and tamed it, so perhaps it was near the king, so he gave it to him. And his saying "ten-month pregnant" (‘ashrah) is on the pattern of fa‘lāh; it is said that it means a pregnant female in general, and it is said that it means a pregnant female whose pregnancy has reached ten months. Which of the two is more correct, Ya Ghanim? Which is more correct?
The student: Our language is different

The Shaykh : And what is our language?
The student: I say, among us, the ‘ashrah is the one that ...

The Shaykh : The one that has her offspring with her, yes, in the language ... in the dictionary, it is the one whose pregnancy has completed ten months or eight.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : ‘Ashrah, yes. So you, people of Yemen, are closer to the language ... Okay, he was given a ten-month pregnant she-camel, yes, yes.
May Allah bless you in this فقال بارك الله لك فيها
Sahih Muslim 2964
May Allah bless you in this فقال بارك الله لك فيها
Sahih Muslim 2964
, meaning that He sent down the blessing for you. Is this a report or a supplication? It is possible that its wording is that of a report but its meaning is a supplication, and it is possible that it is a pure report, a mere report, meaning as if he said, "This is a ten-month pregnant she-camel, blessed for you in it," and on this meaning, it is on the assumption of "has,"
He was given a ten-toothed she-camel, and he said to him, “May Allah bless you in it.” اعطي ناقة عشراء فقال له قد بارك الله لك فيها
"May Allah have already blessed you in it." But the closest is that it is a supplication; it is a report in wording but a supplication in meaning. And we said that this is the closest because it is free from the assumption; it is free from the assumption.

The questioner : Which is better, Shaykh ...

The Shaykh : No, it is a supplication, there is no doubt, but the word "bless" (baraka) is a past tense verb. It is a supplication; we say it is a supplication, but the wording is that of a report.
and while giving he said: May Allah bless you in this. Then he came to the bald-headed person and said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Beautiful hair قال بارك الله لك فيها ، قال فأتى الأقرع فقال : أي شيء أحب إليك ؟ قال شعر حسن
Sahih Muslim 2964
, or is hair enough? No, he wants more, good hair.
And it will remove from me what people have considered disgusting about me. ويذهب عني الذي قذرني الناس به
, and what did people make him ugly with? The baldness, because when a person's head is bald, people dislike him and find him repulsive. And this indicates that it was not their custom to wear the ghutrah and the shemagh, yes, because if they were wearing that, he would have put it on his head and the matter would have ended. And not the turbans either, even though some of the head might be visible and disliked for what is visible. But in any case, this man was psychologically affected by this baldness he had, because he said that people find him repulsive. He said: "What wealth do you like best?" He said: "Cows or camels."
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly,
He wiped his body and his illness was removed and he was bestowed upon beautiful hair فمسحه فذهب عنه قذره وأعطي شعرا حسنا
Sahih Muslim 2964
as he requested, and this is a blessing from Allah that when a person asks Allah the Exalted to give him what he asked for,
What kind of property do you like best?' He replied, 'Cows,' قال : فأي المال أحب إليك ؟ قال : البقر أو الإبل
Sahih al-Bukhari 3464
, the doubt is from Isحاق, but as we said, the context of the hadith indicates that he was given cows, yes.
And he was given a pregnant cow and while handing it over to him he (the angel) said: May Allah bless you in this. Then he came to the blind man and he said: Which thing do you like most? He said: Allah should restore my eyesight so that I should be able to see people with the help of that. ويقول فأعطي بقرة حاملا وقال بارك الله لك فيها ، فأتى الأعمى فقال : أي شيء أحب إليك ؟ قال : أن يرد الله إلي بصري فأبصر به الناس
Sahih Muslim 2964
, what Allah willed, this is a person of asceticism; he did not ask for sight that pierces the wall or good sight, but only asked for sight with which people can see, that Allah restore his sight to him so that people can see with it. Look at the state of this man compared to the previous ones; there is a difference between them.
The angel touched his eyes and Allah gave him back his eye-sight. يقول : قال فمسحه فرد الله إليه بصره
Sahih al-Bukhari 3464
, his sight with which he used to see before. And the apparent meaning is that his sight which he had before was only what people can see with.
The angel asked him, 'What kind of property do you like best?' He replied, 'Sheep.' يقول قال : فأي المال أحب إليك ؟ قال الغنم
Sahih al-Bukhari 3464
, and this also indicates his asceticism and humility, and that he does not want from wealth except what suffices him only. As it also indicates that he is a person of tranquility and humility, because tranquility is with the owners of sheep.
He said: The flock of sheep. And he was given a pregnant goat قال : الغنم ، فأعطي شاة والدا
Sahih Muslim 2964
And a thing may be named by the near name, meaning a thing may be described as having occurred when it has not occurred but is close to occurring. And perhaps what supports this is
He said, “So these two gave birth.” قال فأنتج هذان
do you have "so it produced"?
all the three pregnant animals gave birth to young ones فأُنتج هذان وولّد هذا
Sahih al-Bukhari 3464
, the word "gave birth" (walad) with his saying "so it produced" (antiq) suggests that the meaning of his saying "about to give birth" (walid) is close to giving birth.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly, there is nothing wrong with it, ... "about to give birth" (walid) is like what is said "pregnant" (hamil) and "nursing" (murda'), because the description specific to the female is sufficient by meaning for the verbal construction. And his saying "so these two produced" (antiq hādhān), and in a narration "so these two produced" (antiq hādhān), and in a third narration "so these two produced" (natij hādhān). The original is that this root "natij" in the Arabic language, the original is that it is always built for the passive, you say "the she-camel was produced" (nutijat al-naqah) or "was caused to produce" (unatijat), and you do not say "it produced" (natijat) or "it caused to produce" (antiqat), but the heard narration may be contrary to the majority. "Antiqa hādhān" and the meaning of "antiqa hādhān" is the indication to the owner of the cows and camels, and "walada hādhā"

The questioner : How did it produce?

The Shaykh : "Produced" (antiq) means that offspring occurred for them from the camels and cows, and "gave birth" (walad) for this one means that his sheep had offspring. They said that the one who produces from "antiq" is the producer, and the one who produces from "natij" is the producer, and the one who gives birth from "walad" is the birther, like the midwife who gives birth to women. But the one who takes charge of giving birth to women is called a midwife, and the one who takes charge of giving birth to other than women is called a producer or a producer or a birther. A producer if it is from "antiq," a producer if it is from "natij," a birther if it is from "walad." So this man had a valley of camels, and this man had a valley of cows, and this man had a valley of sheep. Here, the demonstrative pronoun for the near was used in place of the far, and the context required him to say "so that one had," because it is for the first one, and the first one is the farthest of those mentioned. But it is permissible to use the demonstrative pronoun for the near in place of the far, and vice versa. Who is "this one"? We said it is the leper, and "this one" is the bald man, and "this one" is the blind man. Then he said, up to now the trial has not yet occurred. Now we are in the stage of explaining the blessings. The stage of the trial will come.
