The Shaykh : Sunan Ibn Majah 3873Sahih (Darussalam)
Sunan Ibn Majah 3873Sahih (Darussalam) The "crawling creature" here means everything that crawls on the earth, including that which moves on its belly; it is included in this hadith. It is like His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): [Hud 11:6] Although "crawling creature" is used in common usage for four-legged animals, and in a more specific usage for donkeys only, yes, but in a hadith like this, it means everything that crawls on the earth. Now, what crawls on the earth has evil in it?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, some of it is pure evil, and some of it has good in it and evil in it. Even that which has good in it is not free from evil. A sheep might gore you with its horns and split your belly, and likewise a cow or a camel might
The student: ram you
The Shaykh : ram you
The student: or eat you
The Shaykh : or eat you, yes
The questioner : the camel
The Shaykh : Yes, the camel eats
The questioner : bites, meaning
The Shaykh : yes, yes, it bites, bites, here
The student: kill
The Shaykh : kill, especially if you turn a male away from a female. If you turn a male away from a female, beware of this male, even after years. Yes, and this has happened. They say that one day, in a camel market, a camel saw a man who had prevented him from a she-camel a long time ago. When he saw him, he grabbed his head, bit him with his teeth, and lifted him up. Oh my, they pulled him off. Yes, the important thing is that "the evil of every crawling creature" includes creatures that are all evil and creatures that have good in them. There is no creature that has good in it except that it also has evil in it. Yes, but the evil is relative. Now, his saying: The forelock is the front of the head. It was specified because it is the front, and it is what is held to lead the camel and its like. It was said that it was specified because the brain, where perception and reception occur, is in the front of the head. Here, knowledge is with Allah. He says: Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam) Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam) This is an explanation by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of his saying And "the First" is among the names of Allah. We mentioned when explaining the verse that the philosophers call Allah
The student: the Ancient
The Shaykh : the Ancient. And we mentioned that "the Ancient" is not among the Most Beautiful Names of Allah, and it is not permissible to name Him with it. But it is permissible to inform about Him with it, because the chapter of information is broader than the chapter of naming. "The Ancient" is not among the Most Beautiful Names, and the names, as we all know, are Most Beautiful, with no deficiency in any way. "The Ancient" has a deficiency, because antiquity can be relative. Have you not seen His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):[Ya-Sin 36:39]
The student: the Ancient
The Shaykh : Yes, Is the old palm fiber eternal? No, it is created, but it is old relative to what came after it.
Second, the names of Allah the Exalted are based on revelation, so we cannot name Him "the Ancient" since it was not revealed. Instead, "the First" was revealed, which is better than it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained it as the One
The student: for whom there is nothing before Him
The Shaykh : for whom there is nothing before Him. He said: And what? Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam) These two are opposites, and in them is temporal comprehensiveness: the First from the first, and the Last from the last.
He said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam) From manifestation, which is elevation, as He said (Glorified and Exalted is He): [Al-Kahf 18:97] meaning He is above it. So the meaning of is the High One, for whom there is nothing above Him. As for the one who says "the Manifest by His signs," this is an error, because if he says "the Manifest by His signs," it means not by His Essence. It means the One who is known with certain knowledge by His signs is the Manifest in his view. But no one is more knowledgeable about the interpretation of Allah's words than?
The student: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Shaykh : the Messenger of Allah, and he said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3831Sahih (Darussalam) Rather, He is above everything. He said: The meaning is: there is nothing beneath Allah. No one manages beneath Allah, and no one is independent of anything beneath Allah. Everything, Allah the Exalted encompasses it. For this reason, he said: meaning nothing intervenes between anything, and nothing prevents anything beneath Him, and nothing benefits the possessor of wealth from his wealth, and so on.
He said:Muwatta Malik 15:29 O Allah, send prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allah. And what is the debt? The debt is what is due from a person in money or right, what is due from him in money or right. So it is a debt. I bought a need from you and did not pay you the price. What is this called?
The student: a debt
The Shaykh : It is called a debt, even if it is not deferred. I rented a house from you and did not pay you the rent. Yes, this is a debt. I promised you a right. Yes
The student: a debt
The Shaykh : This is a debt. For this reason, it is said: "The promise of the believer is a debt"
Now, Poverty is the emptiness of the hand. Undoubtedly, poverty causes pain to the soul, and debt involves humiliation. The debtor is humiliated to whom?
The student: to the creditor
The Shaykh : to the creditor. And the poor person is in need. Poverty might lead him to a forbidden matter. Has the news of not reached you? It is clear, O Hamad. Yes, did you agree to this? A great word. The man, glory to Allah the Great, when this word came from the heart, it affected him, so he rose from it. Sahih al-Bukhari 2272 But this great admonition was mentioned to him, so he desisted.
I say: Look at poverty. This woman wanted to sell her honor because of
The student: Poverty.
The Shaykh : what? Because of poverty, because of poverty. Now, the saying of the Messenger The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his Lord to free him from poverty, because poverty has great harms. Now
from the evil of every creature You seize by the forelock
ومن شر كل دابةٍ أنت آخذ بناصيتهاfrom the evil of every creature You seize by the forelock
من شر كل دابة انت آخذ بناصيتهاAnd there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision
وما من دابة في الأرض إلا على الله رزقهاThe student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, some of it is pure evil, and some of it has good in it and evil in it. Even that which has good in it is not free from evil. A sheep might gore you with its horns and split your belly, and likewise a cow or a camel might
The student: ram you
The Shaykh : ram you
The student: or eat you
The Shaykh : or eat you, yes
The questioner : the camel
The Shaykh : Yes, the camel eats
The questioner : bites, meaning
The Shaykh : yes, yes, it bites, bites, here
The student: kill
The Shaykh : kill, especially if you turn a male away from a female. If you turn a male away from a female, beware of this male, even after years. Yes, and this has happened. They say that one day, in a camel market, a camel saw a man who had prevented him from a she-camel a long time ago. When he saw him, he grabbed his head, bit him with his teeth, and lifted him up. Oh my, they pulled him off. Yes, the important thing is that "the evil of every crawling creature" includes creatures that are all evil and creatures that have good in them. There is no creature that has good in it except that it also has evil in it. Yes, but the evil is relative. Now, his saying:
I am grasping its forelock
أنت آخذ بناصيتهاYou are the First and there is nothing after You
أنت الأول فليس قبلك شيءYou are the First and there is nothing after You
أنت الأول فليس قبلك شيءThe first
الأولThe student: the Ancient
The Shaykh : the Ancient. And we mentioned that "the Ancient" is not among the Most Beautiful Names of Allah, and it is not permissible to name Him with it. But it is permissible to inform about Him with it, because the chapter of information is broader than the chapter of naming. "The Ancient" is not among the Most Beautiful Names, and the names, as we all know, are Most Beautiful, with no deficiency in any way. "The Ancient" has a deficiency, because antiquity can be relative. Have you not seen His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old

The Shaykh : Yes,

The Shaykh : for whom there is nothing before Him. He said:
and the Last, for whom there is nothing after Him
والآخر الذي ليس بعده شيءYou are the Last and there is nothing after You
وأنت الآخر فليس بعدك شيءHe said:
You are the Most High, and there is nothing above You
وأنت الظاهر فليس فوقك شيءthe Apparent

فما اسطاعوا أن يظهروه وما استطاعوا له نقباto overcome it

The three men who the cave collapsed upon, and each of them sought nearness to Allah through his good deed. One of them said, “I had a cousin who I was attracted to, and I used to try to seduce her into sin, but she refused. A year of hardship came upon her, and she needed help, so she came to me asking for assistance. I refused to help her unless she allowed me to have sexual relations with her. Yes, and because of her dire necessity, she agreed to this.
الثلاثة الذين انطبق عليهم الغار فتوسل كل واحد منهم بصالح عمله وقال أحدهم إنه كانت لي ابنة عم قد أعجبته وكان يراودها عن نفسها ولكنها تأبى تأبى ذلك فألمت بها سنة من السنين واحتاجت وجاءت إليه تطلبُ منه أن يعينها فأبى عليها إلا أن تمكنه من نفسها نعم ومن أجل ضرورتها وافقت على هذاSo when he sat with her in the position of a man with his wife, she said to him, “O this man, fear Allah and do not break the seal except with its right.”
