Narrated by Muslim
This is a great hadith in which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sought nearness to Allah the Exalted through His Lordship in his saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam) This is from the category of generalization after specification. This generalization after specification is so that no one mistakenly assumes that the ruling is restricted to what was specified. Listen or look at His saying, the Exalted: [An-Naml 27:91] And what comes after that?
The student: And to Him belongs all things
The Shaykh :[An-Naml 27:91] so that no one thinks that what he has is only this town. Yes. (Glorified and Exalted is He) the seeds of crops the pits of trees. So the trees that come out are either crops or planted trees. What is for trees is called a pit (naww), and what is for crops is called a seed (habb). This seed is inert, and this pit is dry, dry like a stone; it does not grow or increase. The Lord (Mighty and Majestic) splits it, meaning He opens it, so that the leaves and the crop come out of it. Can anyone do that? No, by Allah, no one can, no matter how far people reach in power, they cannot split a single seed, ever.
The seed is the same; this solid seed, like a stone, does not grow or increase. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, splits it; it splits and opens, and then it becomes the seedling that grows. No one can do that except He who split it, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Now, when he mentioned the great cosmic sign, he mentioned the legislative signs, which is his saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam) He began them in chronological order, in chronological order. And in reality, it is not an order of merit; rather, the later one is better than the earlier one, because the later one abrogates the earlier one. Therefore, its later mention does not mean it is lower in rank; rather, the last one is better than the first. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, arranged them in the Qur'an in this order, saying: [At-Tawbah 9:111] These great books, the Descender of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an. And in this is explicit text that the Torah was sent down, as stated in the Qur'an: Yes. And He said, the Exalted, at the beginning of Surat Ali 'Imran: [Ali 'Imran 3:3-4] Yes.
He said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3529Hasan (Darussalam) Allah is the Greatest. You take refuge in Allah from your own self, meaning the greatest of taking refuge is this; meaning I take refuge in someone other than myself from someone other than myself. I take refuge in this man who has a weapon from whom? From a lion or from an enemy who caught up with me, for example. But I cannot take refuge from my own self in someone other than myself, except if that other person is more merciful to me than I am to myself. Who is that?
The student: Allah
The Shaykh : Allah, Mighty and Majestic. And for this reason he said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3529Hasan (Darussalam) See, you flee to Allah with your own self from your own self. And with this, you also take refuge from Allah in Allah. (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes, who protects you from Allah?
The student: Allah
The Shaykh : Allah. And for this reason it came in the hadith:
O Allah. the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Earth and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord, and the Lord of evervthina, the Splitter of the grain of corn and the datestone
اللهم رب السماوات السبع والأراضين ورب العرش العظيم ربنا ورب كل شيء فالق الحب والنوىThe Creator
خالقThe student: ...
The Shaykh : The Opener
The student: In our copy it is “and the earth”
The student: And the earths
The Shaykh : And the earths in your copy?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, and just the earth
The student: I said the earths
The Shaykh : Did I say the earths?!
O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and the earth, and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, Opener of the kernel and the seed, Descender of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self and from the evil of every crawling creature of which You grasp the forelock. You are the First, so there is nothing before You, and You are the Last, so there is nothing after You, and You are the Manifest, so there is nothing above You, and You are the Hidden, so there is nothing beneath You. Settle my debt and make me independent of poverty
اللهم رب السماوات السبع والأرض ورب العرش العظيم ربنا ورب كل شيء فالق الحب والنوى مُنزِّل التوراة والإنجيل والقرآن أعوذ بك من شر نفسي ومن شر كل دابة أنت آخذ بناصيتها أنت الأول فليس قبلك شيء وأنت الآخر فليس بعدك شيء وأنت الظاهر فليس فوقك شيء وأنت الباطن فليس دونك شيء اقض عني الدين وأغنني من الفقرThis is a great hadith in which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sought nearness to Allah the Exalted through His Lordship in his saying:
Allahumma Rabbas-samawatis-Sab'i wa Rabbal-'Arshil-'Azim, Rabbana wa Rabba Kulli shay'in
اللهم رب السماوات السبع والأرض ورب العرش العظيم ربنا ورب كل شيءAnd Lord of all things
ورب كل شيء[Say, O Muhammad], "I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city, who made it sacred
قل إنما أمرت أن أعبد رب هذه البلدة الذي حرمهاThe student: And to Him belongs all things
The Shaykh :
to whom [belongs] all things
وله كل شيءOpener of the kernel and the seed
فالقَ الحب والنوىOpener of the kernel
فالق الحبAnd the seed
والنوىOpener of the kernel and the seed
فالق الحب والنوىThe seed is the same; this solid seed, like a stone, does not grow or increase. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, splits it; it splits and opens, and then it becomes the seedling that grows. No one can do that except He who split it, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
Now, when he mentioned the great cosmic sign, he mentioned the legislative signs, which is his saying:
Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil and the Magnificent Qur'an
منزل التوراة والإنجيل والقرآن[It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an
وعدا عليه حقا في التوراة والإنجيل والقرآنIndeed, We sent down the Torah, and in it is guidance and light.
إنا أنزلنا التوراة فيها هدى ونور(3) He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel. (4) Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Qur'an.
نزل عليك الكتاب بالحق وأنزل التوراة والإنجيل من قبل هدى للناس وأنزل الفرقانHe said:
I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul
أعوذ بك من شر نفسيThe student: Allah
The Shaykh : Allah, Mighty and Majestic. And for this reason he said:
I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul
أعوذ بك من شر نفسيThe student: Allah
The Shaykh : Allah. And for this reason it came in the hadith:
