Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he mentioned the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Indeed, among the most evil of people in rank on the Day of Resurrection إنّ من أشرّ الناس منزلة يوم القيامة
"Asharr" (most evil): This is a rare linguistic usage, because the common usage is to drop the hamzah. In the language, the most common form for "khayr" (good) and "sharr" (evil) is to drop the hamzah; it is not said "akhayr" or "asharr" except rarely, but rather "khayr" and "sharr." Allah the Exalted said:
The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place. أصحاب الجنّة يومئذ خير مستقرّا وأحسن مقيلاً
[Al-Furqan 25:24]
And Allah the Exalted said:
they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers." فستعلمون من هو شرّ مكاناً وأضعف جنداً
[Maryam 19:75]
So the hamzah is dropped in "khayr" and "sharr," but it is sometimes mentioned based on the original form. Here:
The most evil of the people to Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who consorts with his wife إن مِن أشرّ الناس منزلة يوم القيامة الرجل يفضي إلى المرأة وتفضي إليه
Riyad as-Salihin 684
means likewise the wife,
and then he exposes her secret فيصبح ينشر سرّها
or she also becomes one who exposes his secret. He says: "I did such and such with my wife last night, and I did such and such, and I did such and such," and may Allah protect us from that. The absent person is as if he is witnessing it, as if he is among them in the bed, and may Allah protect us from that. He informs him of the secret that the wife does not want anyone to know about, or the wife likewise informs the women that her husband does such and such with her. All of this is forbidden and not permissible, and it is among the most evil of people in rank on the Day of Resurrection before Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is obligatory that the secret matters in the houses, in the beds, and elsewhere be preserved and that no one ever be allowed to know about them. Indeed, whoever preserves the secret of his brother, Allah will preserve his secret. The reward is of the same kind as the deed. And success is from Allah.
