The Official English Channel for Shaykh Abu 'Abdirrahman Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajoori

▪️Benefit: Some of the people of knowledge reported that the statements of those that explained the Qur'ān, mentioned concerning the Rūh (soul) reached 118 and this is from the needless inquisitiveness because Allāh has kept this knowledge with Him.

▪️Benefit: Whenever the tābi'ūn differ then the statement of some of them is not a proof on the others.

▪️Benefit: Those who took from the people of the book from the Sahābah are a few, from them Abdullāh bin Amr bin Al-'Aās, as for the tābi'ūn then they are many, and one who it was well-known for taking from the people of the book is Ka'b Al-Ahbār and Wahb bin Al-Munabbih and Muhammad bin Al-Ishāq specifically in regards to the battles.

▪️Benefit: Shaykh ul-Islām and a group of others, when they say there is no origin for this, they mean no chain of narration for it, and there are others that use this statement when the chain of narration is weak.

▪️Benefit: Shaykh ul-Islām mentioned that knowing history and what happened (in the past) is a foundation which many issues are known by way of it, in regards to the narrators of hadith, and in tafsīr (of the Qurān) and in fiqh. He said that this is a foundation which is a must to be known for indeed it is a beneficial foundation in concluding a lot of transmissions in hadith and tafsīr and battles.

↪️ The two Sahihs have been met with acceptance by consensus of the ummah except a few hadiths which have been criticised, then these criticized are not put aside but merely regarding the angle of a hadithi approach.

▪️Benefit: The majority of the people of knowledge from all sects are on the opinion that if a narration with a single narrator has been met by acceptance by the ummah in affirmation to it or acting by it then it accounts as knowledge. And the early ones from the people of hadith are on the opinion that the narration of a single narrator if he is trustworthy then it accounts as knowledge and not mere doubt, as for the statement that it accounts as doubt then most of the ones that said that are the Mu'tazilah and Ashā'irah.

▪️Benefit: Shaykh ul-Islām mentioned that the defect of a hadith is due to an apparent cause. Then he made an example with the hadith of Ibn Abbās that the Prophet ﷺ married Maimunah while he was in the state of Ihrām.

▪️Benefit: The hadith of the virtue of Salāh on the day of Aāshura (Whoever prays two raka'ats will have the reward of such and such of the Prophets). Ibn Al-Jawzi said in Al-Mawdhu'āt this is fabricated and the one accused of lying is Al-Hussein bin Wāqid Al-Juzaqāni. Ibn ul-Qayyim said: "And it is as if this filthy liar who concocted it, didn't know that if other than the Prophet prayed the entire life span of Nūh, he would not be given the reward of one Prophet."

▪️Benefit: The twelvers: Gathered what is with the Mu'tazilah and increased upon it, so every twelver is a Mu'tazili and not every Mu'tazili is a twelver.

▪️Benefit: How plenty are the sects of the Rāfidhah, for they are more than 100 sects.

▪️Benefit: Shaykh ul-Islām mentioned that the people of innovation carry the meanings of the Qurān upon their views and beliefs and they have no predecessor from the Sahābah or those that followed them in goodness (the Tabi'ūn),and those from amongst them who are articulate, and have eloquent speech, they cast innovation into their speech like Zamakhshari in Al-Kashāf.

▪️Benefit: Most of the scholars of language were not free from mistakes in aqeedah (creed), and it is authentically narrated from Ibrāhīm bin Ishāq Al-Harbī that he said the people of the Arabic language from the people of Basrah are from the people of desires except four, and they were people of the Sunnah; Abū 'Amr bin Al-'Alā, Al-Khalīl bin Ahmed, and Yūnus bin Habīb and Al-Asma'ī.

◾Benefits from the introduction of Usūl ut-Tafsīr◾️

Benefits from the introduction of Usūl ut-Tafsīr by Taqi ud-Dīn Abul-Abbās Ahmed bin Abdil-Halīm bin Abdis-Salām bin Abdillāh bin Abil-Qāsim bin Muhammad Ibn Taymiyyah al-Harrāni al-Hanbalī Ad-Dimashqī (died: 728H)

▪️Benefit: Our Shaykh Yahya may Allāh preserve him said: "We view that ascribing to Ash-Shāfi'ē or other than him was not present in the time of the salaf (pious predecessors), rather ascription is to the Book of Allāh ﷻ and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ."

And our Shaykh said: "Verily I am amazed at those who summarize Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr, because it itself is originally summarized. Because he gathered within it numerous sciences and that some of the hadiths which some people would think are weak are (in actual fact) suitable with supporting narrations in their chapters. And this is injustice to Ibn Kathīr and squandering his efforts.

▪️ Benefit: Ibn Kathīr, may Allāh have mercy on him, is from amongst the explainers of (Sahīh) Bukhāri except that his explanation, which is present now, is not complete and what is present from it is good."

▪️Benefit:
Shaykh ul-Islām mentioned that the differing between the scholars could be due to numerous matters:

1 - Due to the evidence being obscured (to them).
2 - having been distracted from it.
3 - Not hearing of it.
4 - Due to a mistake in the understanding of the evidence.
5 - Believing something else to be more correct.

Some of the people of knowledge mentioned that much of the differing between Abī Hanīfah and the people of knowledge is due to the weakness of Abī Hanīfah in the knowledge of hadith, so perhaps he would say a statement with based upon his opinion and someone would come and refute his statement with evidence.

▪️Benefit: The obscured (unknown) things are of different types in the Qurān:

1 - What Allāh has kept with Him in His knowledge like the hour, and it is not allowed to ask about these obscured matters, and these obscured matters have signs.

2 - What Allāh kept obscured in a place and explained it in another like His statement:

(اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ۝ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمَْ)

"Guide us to the Straight Way, The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace."

Allāh clarified the ones He bestowed His favor upon with His statement:

(وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم)

"And whoso obeys Allāh and the Messenger, then they will be in the company of those on whom Allāh has bestowed His Grace."

3 - What Allāh kept obscured as a covering for the person like His statement:

(وَالَّذِي قَالَ لِوَالِدَيْهِ أُفٍّ لَّكُمَا)

"And the one who said to his parents: "Uff upon you both!"

And searching who this is regarding is not befitting.

4 - What Allāh kept obscured due to its magnitude like his statement ﷺ:

"In it is what no eye has seen and no ear has heard."

And this is to be believed in.

5 - What was kept obscured due to there not being any benefit in mentioning it, like not mentioning the colour of the dog of the people of the Kahf, and the part that the cow was struck with, and likeso is the boat of Nūh from what type of wood it was and the name of boy who was killed by Khadhr and the tree which is in the blessed place of what type, these such things and having ignorance in them is not harmful and if a person was to come to know of them by way of evidence then this is a good affair.

◾️It is incumbent upon the Muslims to give attention to this eid, displaying the ritual of this eid, and joy in it◾️

By our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahman Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him -

🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸

🎙"And the blessed eid is commencing in the forthcoming days, it is incumbent upon the Muslims to give attention to it, displaying joy in it, and not having expectations that perhaps they may fear of, upon things which the affair in it is to Allāh

(قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ لِلَّهِ)

"Say you (O Muhammad ﷺ): "Indeed the affair belongs wholly to Allah."

So they display this ritual, the ritual of eid."

And the Prophet ﷺ used to order the menstruating women, and the purdah-observing women to come out and witness the supplications of the Muslims and the good. As it comes in the hadeeth of Umm Atiyyah:

يأمر بإخراج العواتق، والحُيَّض، وذوات الخدور إلى صلاة العيد؛ يشهدن الخير ودعوة المسلمين، ويعتزل الحْيَّضْ المصلى

"He ordered us with the bringing out of the adolescent girls and the menstruating women and the purdah-observing women to the eid prayer, to witness the good and the supplications of the muslims, and the menstruating women stay away from the place of prayer."

[Reported by Bukhāri]

She doesn't pray but she sits listens to the speech of Allāh, the speech of His Messenger ﷺ, and she listens to the supplications of the Muslims, and she witnesses the good, so the ritual of worship is displayed, and she becomes joyful with the joy of the Muslims even if she doesn't pray.

And the point of benefit from that, is that it is incumbent that these rituals are implemented in times of ease and hardship, when there is no preventing factor which necessitates preventing from this, and there is nothing which necessitates it - and praise is to Allāh - The people are still in well-being, and likeso what happens from that is strength in Eēmān, every time a persons morale weakens, and his expectations diminish, the whisperings of Shaytān overcome him, and delusions overcome him, and weakness in morale overcomes him, he may even be afflicted with diminishing religious and worldly affairs.

Every time a person's morale strengthens upon the obedience of Allāh, for verily Allāh loves this.

المؤمن القوي خير وأحب إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف وفي كل خير

"The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but in all is good."


(يَا يَحْيَىٰ خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا)

"O Yahya (John)! Hold fast the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)]." And We gave him wisdom while yet a child."

Taking the affairs with determination is requested, as is in the evidences.

So the affair in that is flexible, that a person is joyful with the obedience of Allāh as is in the two Sahihs that the Prophet ﷺ said:

للصائم فرحتان يفرحهما: إذا أفطر فرح بفطره، وإذا لقى ربه فرح بصومه

"The fasting person experiences two joys, when he breaks his fast he is joyful at breaking it, and when he meets his Lord he is joyful with his fasting."

So being joyful with eid is legislated due to this hadith, joyfulness is legislated, it's limits are not to be exceeded; and from that (being joyful): Is being joyful with the displaying of this ritual and worship of Allāh with his remembrance and present blessings.

And being cautious concerning that from legislative oppositions, like being joyful with songs, and beautification by shaving the beard, and what is of legislative oppositions, and clothes which are not appropriate whether for the men or women, but rather the clothes of the Muslims and the clothes of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his companions and what is from the legal clothing.
