Explanation of the Book of Marriage-12

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :" And from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If anyone who intends to have intercourse with his wife says, 'In the Name of Allah. O Allah, keep us away from the devil and keep the devil away from what You have provided us (of children)', should it be ordained that a child be born to them thereby, Satan will never harm it. لو أنَّ أحدكم إذا أراد أن يأتي أهله قال: بسم الله اللهم جنبنا الشيطان وجنّب الشيطان ما رزقتنا، فإنه إن يقدّر بينهما ولد في ذلك لم يضره الشيطان أبدًا
Bulugh al-Maram 8:65
"
:
This hadith has a grammatical issue, or issues:
First: "Law" (if) is a conditional particle that does not assert, and it enters into a verbal sentence, not a nominal sentence. What is before us now is a nominal sentence, so what is the answer?
The answer is that what is before us is not a nominal sentence, but a verbal sentence. The evidence for this is the opening of the hamza of "inna":
If لو أنّ
Because if it were a nominal sentence, the hamza would have to be broken (kasrah). So it is a verbal sentence. What is the implied verb?
Huh?
If it is established that "if any one of you" to the end, or if it happens that any one of you, when he approaches his wife, says... The implied sentence is a suitable verb. This resolves the issue now. What is the issue and what is its answer, 'Abdullah?
The student: The issue is that "law" is a conditional particle that does not assert, entering into a verbal sentence and not entering into a nominal sentence. But before us here is a nominal sentence. We say: This is not a nominal sentence but a verbal sentence. If it were a nominal sentence, the hamza would have to be broken, but here it is open (fathah), and the verb is implied. The implication is "if it is established" or "it is established"!

The Shaykh : No, "law".
The student: "Law it is established".

The Shaykh : Or "law it happens", "it happens" is also better. "If it happens that any one of you did such and such." Okay, the issue is resolved.
We now have a conditional "law" that requires a conditional verb and a conditional response. Where is its response?
The student: "O Allah, keep Satan away from us".

The Shaykh : No.
The student :
and if He has ordained فإنه إن يقدر بينهما
Sahih Muslim 1434a
.

The Shaykh :
and if He has ordained فإنه إن يقدر بينهما
Sahih Muslim 1434a
The sentence "inna" (if) "yaqdar" (is destined), is that right?
Okay,
If any one of you لو أنّ أحدكم
"inna" requires a subject and a predicate. Where is its subject?
The student: It is omitted.

The Shaykh : Hm?
The student: "Any one of you"!

The Shaykh : Where is its subject, brothers, Ibn Dawud?
The student: "Any one of you".

The Shaykh : "Any one of you" is good. It requires a predicate. Where is its predicate?
The student: The sentence.

The Shaykh : Which clause?
The student: "Intended".

The Shaykh : No.
The student: He said: "O Allah"!

The Shaykh : No, yes, Ahmad?
The student: The sentence
who means to have intercourse إذا أراد أن يأتي
Sunan Abi Dawud 2161Sahih (Al-Albani)
.

The Shaykh : The sentence
who means to have intercourse إذا أراد أن يأتي
Sunan Abi Dawud 2161Sahih (Al-Albani)
is good. It contains a conditional "idha" (when), which requires a conditional verb and a response?
The student: "If he intended", "intended" is this!

The Shaykh : "Intended" is the conditional verb.
The student: "He said" is it.

The Shaykh : The conditional response, and the sentence "if he intended, he said"!
The student: "If he intended, he said": Predicate.

The Shaykh : The predicate of "inna" is complete.
If we know that it is conditional and its response is:
If it is decreed فإنه إن يقدر
.
Okay, "inna" "yaqdar" (is destined) is a conditional particle that requires a conditional verb and its response, 'Abd al-Malik?
The student: "Ya qdar" (is destined)!

The Shaykh : The conditional verb?
The student: "Ya qdar" (is destined).

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And its response: "Lam yadurrhu" (it did not harm him).

The Shaykh : "It did not harm him" is complete.
So we will take the grammatical parsing now after we have understood the answer from you:
"Law": Conditional. The conditional verb in it is omitted, its implication is: "Happened". "Inna": A particle of affirmation that makes the subject accusative and the predicate nominative. Its subject is: "One". And the sentence:
who means to have intercourse with his wife says إذا أراد أن يأتي أهله قال
Sunan Abi Dawud 2161Sahih (Al-Albani)
is its predicate.
"Idha": Conditional. The conditional verb in it is "intended", and its response is: "said".
"Law" is conditional and requires a conditional verb, and we know its implication. Where is its response?
and if He has ordained a male child for them, Satan will never be able to do any harm فإنه إن يقدر بينهما ولد لم يضره
Sahih Muslim 1434a
, "inna" in "ya qdar" (is destined) is conditional and requires a conditional verb, and its response is implied as the conditional verb, and "lam yadurrhu" (it did not harm him) is the conditional response. Okay, praise be to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If anyone of you لو أن أحدكم إذا أتى
Sahih al-Bukhari 141
:
And this "law" is conditional, and the purpose of it is to encourage this action.
And his saying:
who means to have intercourse with his wife إذا أراد أن يأتي أهله
Sunan Abi Dawud 2161Sahih (Al-Albani)
: "That he approaches" means: that he has intercourse. But the Arabic language, for the beauty of its style, uses euphemism for what is shy to mention by using what indicates it. So instead of saying: "If any one of you, when he intends to have intercourse, says...", he said: "approaches his wife". And the meaning is not that he comes to the house, enters the house, and approaches his wife for intercourse. For this reason, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) uses euphemism for intercourse, such as "al-lams" (touching) or "al-mulamasah" (mutual touching) or the like.
And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
To approach his wife أن يأتي أهله
means: his wife. And the wife is called "ahil" (family) because a man makes her his home, returns to her, and settles with her.
He said:
In the name of Allah بسم الله
The preposition and the noun in the genitive case must have a connection, as the author of the "Jumal" (Sentences) said:
" The preposition must be connected *** To a verb or its meaning, like one who ascends
And except every extra one that has an effect *** Like "ba", "min", "kaf", and also "la'all" "
!
Two verses of Rajaz meter, easy ones. I will repeat them twice now, and you repeat them to me without writing, yes:
" The preposition must be connected *** To a verb or its meaning, like one who ascends
And except every extra one that has an effect *** Like "ba", "min", "kaf", and also "la'll" "
!
The third:
" The preposition must be connected *** To a verb or its meaning, like one who ascends
And except every extra one that has an effect *** Like "ba", "min", "kaf", and also "la'll" "
!
Oh my, 'Abdullah!
The student: " The preposition must be connected to the realization of connection *** To a verb or its meaning, like one who ascends
And except "
!

The Shaykh : Oh my!
The student: It has an effect.

The Shaykh : Every extra one.
The student: " Every extra one has an effect ".

The Shaykh : It has an effect.
The student: " It has an effect *** Like "ba" and "kaf" "!

The Shaykh :" *** Like "ba" and "min" ".
The student: " *** Like "ba" and "min" and "kaf" "!

The Shaykh : Also.
The student: And "la'll".

The Shaykh : And "la'll", Nasser?
The student: It is necessary for every one that comes!

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: It is necessary for every genitive to have a connection!

The Shaykh : 'Abdullah?
The student: " The preposition must be connected *** To a verb or its meaning, like one who ascends
And I except every extra one that has an effect *** Like "ba", "min", "kaf", also and "la'll" "
.

The Shaykh : Yes, complete, 'Abd al-Rahman?
The student: I did not memorize it.

The Shaykh : I did not memorize it, Sharafi?
The student: " The preposition must be connected *** To a verb or its meaning, like one who ascends
And I except every extra one that has an effect *** Like "ba", "min", "kaf", also and "la'll" "
.

The Shaykh : No, without "wa" (and), also, and "la'll", Zayn, complete. In any case, the preposition and the genitive "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah) is connected to an omitted word. What is its implication?
Its implication is known from what came before it: "In the name of Allah, I approach my wife", yes. And the name of Allah intended here is every name from the names of Allah, because it is a singular noun with a possessive. And the "ba" in your saying "Bismillah" is for what?
For seeking help and companionship.
O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satan اللهم جنبنا الشيطان وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتنا
Sahih al-Bukhari 141
: "Allahumma" (O Allah), the grammarians say: Its origin is "Ya Allah" (O Allah), so the "ya" of calling was omitted, and the "mim" was substituted for it. Then the "mim" was moved to the end for the sake of auspiciousness with the name of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and seeking blessing with it. And the "mim" was chosen over other letters because it is a sign of plurality, as if the supplicant gathered his heart upon the Allah whom he called. Do you understand, brothers? Okay.
And based on this, we say: "Allah" is a called noun, built on dammah in the position of accusative, the "ya" of calling was omitted from it, and the "mim" was substituted for it. Complete.
O Allah, keep Satan away from us اللهم جنبنا الشيطان
means: Keep it far from us, make it on a distant side from us. And "Shaytan" (Satan): A generic name for the rebellious of the jinn, and it is derived from "shatana" (to be far) when one is far from the mercy of Allah.
And the evidence that it is derived from "shatana" is that it is movable (in declension), which indicates that the "nun" in it is original. If it were extra and the "alif" were extra, it would be prevented from declension. But the "nun" is original. Allah the Exalted said:
And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah] وحفظناها من كل شيطان رجيم
[Al-Hijr 15:17]
.
Okay,
wa jannib-ish-Shaitan ma razaqtana وجنب الشيطان ما رزقتنا
Sahih al-Bukhari 5165
Means: You gave us from what?
From the child that will result from this approach.
He said:
and if He has ordained a male child for them فإنه إن يقدّر بينهما ولد
Sahih Muslim 1434a
: "Inna" (if) "yaqdar" (is destined), and the doer was omitted and he did not say: "Inna" (if) "Allah" (destines), because it is known, as He said the Exalted:
and mankind was created weak. وخلق الإنسان ضعيفًا
[An-Nisa 4:28]
So the doer was omitted because it is known.
Okay, he says:
Child ولد
: Male or female. And is "walad" (child) used for a female?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Okay,
will not be affected لم يضره في ذلك
Sahih al-Bukhari 5445
means: In that approach for which he named this naming
Satan will never harm it لم يضره الشيطان أبدًا
Bulugh al-Maram 8:65
"Lam yadurrhu" (it did not harm him) harm in a physical worldly sense, or harm in a conceptual intellectual, religious, or moral sense?
We say: The hadith is general. Satan did not harm him physically or conceptually, not in religion, not in character, not in creation. He does not harm him.
And his saying:
Never. أبدا
is an affirmation of the negation,
Satan will never harm it لم يضره الشيطان أبدا
Bulugh al-Maram 8:65
as in His saying the Exalted:
But they will never wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth ولن يتمنوه أبدا بما قدمت أيديهم
[Al-Baqarah 2:95]
So here the expression is an affirmation of the negation.
Okay, this hadith clearly shows that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged the man, when he approaches his wife, to say this dhikr (remembrance). But he (peace and blessings be upon him) presented it in the form of an offer, not in the form of a request. And this is from the chapter of changing styles. The request may be with the word of command, or it may be with other words that convey its meaning.
