 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعاله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى in today's lecture or today's Friday night reflection I want to divide my lecture into two the first part of my lecture I want to speak about the virtue of the day to come tomorrow today tomorrow is يوم عرفة so some virtues regarding tomorrow يوم عرفة the second part of my lecture I want to talk about tomorrow يوم عرفة is going to fall on a Saturday so are you allowed to fast on Saturday and what is the ruling regarding fasting Saturday scholars have discussed this issue and it's been an ongoing discussion whether you're allowed to fast on Saturday other than an obligatory fasting so those are the two insha'Allah تعالى parts of my Friday night reflection tonight insha'Allah تعالى so let's start with فضائل يوم عرفة the virtue of the day of عرفة الله سبحانه وتعالى in surah al-buruj he swore أقسم بيوم عرفة الله swore by the day of عرفة and the reason why he swore by it is because أن له مزيد فضل وعظمة because he has a lot of great reward and a lot of virtues are connected to it then the other 10 days or the other 9 days of the حجة الله says وشاهد ومشهود the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said إن حديث الامام ترمي the narrated وحسنه الشيخ الالباني and sheikh الالباني grade this hadith to be sound that the prophet said اليوم المشهود يوم عرفة وشاهد الجمعة وشاهد ومشهود the messenger said المشهود is what the day of عرفة and the Shahid is what so the one that's testifying and the one that's going to be testified for the machine is what يوم عرفة the messenger said it عليبنا بيطاريبن said the same أبو هوريرا said the same عبد الله بن عباسن said the same the second virtue for the day of عرفة is أنه اليوم الذي أكمل الله فيه الدينة وأتم به النعمة it is the day where الله تبارك وتعالى completed the religion and he established his blessing on his creation الله عز و جله he sent up on to his messenger نبي الله محمد في عشية يوم عرفة the ayah اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم واتممت عليكم نعمة ورضيت لكم الإسلام دينة this ayah loosely translates as اليوم اليوم أكملت لكم I have completed the day اليوم أكملت لكم I have completed on to you لكم دينكم دينكم واتممت and I have finished عليكم on to you ورضيت لكم الإسلام دينة and I have been completed with Islam as your religion this ayah came down عشية يوم عرفة وفي الصحيحيني إن بخاريا مسلم عن طارق بن شهاب أن رجلا من اليهود جاء إلى عمر أي جوم من كنت عمر فقاله ساتهم يا أمير المؤمنين the leader of the believers آية في كتابكم a verse in your book تقرأونها which you recite لو علينا نزلت if he was to come down on us معشرة اليهود اليوم we would have taken that day عيدا a day of celebration there is a verse in your book that you all read if it was to come down on us the Jews would have taken that day a day of celebration رضي الله عنه who said to him وأي you آية in which verse are you referring to قاله then said the Jew man اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم واتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الإسلام دينة the ayah that we just read فقال عمر عمر responded by saying إني لأعلم اليوم I know the day اللذي نزلت فيه the day in which it came down والمكان and I also know the place اللذي نزلت فيه the place in which it came down on نزلت على رسول الله it came down on the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم بعرفات في يوم الجمعات it was a day of Juma إبن جرير الطبري رحمة الله one of the great Mufassirin when he explained the ayah اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم واتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الإسلام دينة he said إبن جرير said اليوم أكملت لكم أيها المؤمنون فرائض يعملت لكم ورضيت لكم ورضيت لكم ورضيت لكم ورضيت لكم ورضيت لكم تنونف رائضي عليكم وحدود وامرئيكم ونهي وحلال أنت mélاس والأدلة التي النصبتها لكم على جميع ما بكم الحاجة إليه من أمر دينكم فأتمنت لكم جميع ذلك فلا زيادة فيه بعد هذا اليوم وكان ذلك في يوم عرفة عام حج النبي إبن جرير reply said مرحباً لحد الوحيد على يوم عرفة وفي الساعة في إشارة العرافة ويأتي ويأتي ويأتي there came no verse after this ayah that made anything halal or haram. اعطي افتحوا هذا اكمل لكم دينا كوم when it came down لا حلالة وحرام came down after that there were no ahkam there were no jurisprudence rulings this was the last ayah when it comes to ahkam ayah to riba which came down after this ayah the hukum of the riba was before that and it was stated before that even though the verse came down after so this ayah is very powerful and it came down on a powerful day and that gives this day a very powerful position the virtue of this day يمعرفة is هو اكثر الأيام التي يعتقوا فيها من النار it is the day where the most people are going to be freed from the hellfire our mother عايش رضي الله تعالى عنها she said that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said ما من يوم there is no day اكثر من أن يعتقا there is no day more in where people's necks will be freed from the hellfire أن يعتق الله فيه عبد من النار من يوم عارفة than the day of arafa there is no day in which Allah frees necks from the hellfire than the day of arafa and Allah comes close ثم يباهي بهم الملائكة and Allah calls on to His angels فيقول الله will say ما أراد هؤلاء these people who are on the day of arafa who are standing in arafa Allah will say to His angels what do these creations of mind what do they want and Allah already knows what they want so this hadith shows us that the day where Allah frees the most necks is the day of arafa so it's upon each and every one of us that we strive على اجتناب الأمور التي تمنع من تحصيل هذا الفضل العظيم that we stay away from the things that will prevent us from receiving this great reward and from the things that can prevent us are كشركي associating partners with Allah who are subhanahu و تعالى because we know Allah تبارك و تعالى He doesn't forgive and doesn't free the neck of a person who's committing shirk Allah says in the Quran إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به و يغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء Allah does not forgive subhanahu و تعالى the one who associate partners with Him and He forgives anyone who does anything other than that Allah says in another ayah we have sent a revelation unto you محمد و إلى اللذين من قبلك and those who came before you لأن أشركتها if you associate partners with Allah عز و جل and you do shirk لا يحبطن عملك your righteous deeds will be nullified and you will be from و لا تكونن من الخاصرين and you will be from those who are in a state of loss we also should stay away from innovation because we just talk that يوم عارفة the day I came down اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم today I have completed a religion and once the religion has been completed there is no way that a person should add anything into the religion the Prophet told us in the hadith من أحدث في أمرينا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد anyone who adds anything into our affairs into this religion and that is not from it it will be rejected عمل عمل ليس عليه أمرونه فهو رد anyone who does an action that is not in the religion and he comes with it after the religion has become complete it will be rejected so stop innovating especially not in the day of Arafa where this I came down also stay away from التعاظم في النفس والتكبر على الخلق to be arrogant to be full of yourself stay away from it فقد روا جابر بن عبد الله يجابر narrated that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said لا يورى يوم أكثر عطق من النار منه جابر رضي الله تعالى عنه he said that the messenger said لا يورى يوم there is not a day أكثر more than أتيق من النار a day more than free next than the day of Arafa ولا يغفر الله does not forgive لمختال a person who is arrogant a person who is full of himself الله doesn't forgive them so in the Hadith he told us that the most people were going to be freed from the Hellfire is the day of Arafa and if you are arrogant and you have arrogance in your heart الله تبارك وتعالى will not forgive you so that they what should you stay away from stay away from having your garments below your ankles because the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told us لا ينظر الله الله does not look at لا ينظر الله الله does not look at إلى من جر ثوبه the one whose garment is dragging out of what out of arrogance so this is the day that you stay away from arrogance and anything that can elude or can seem like arrogance you also should stay away from والإصرار being consistent and continuous in major sins يوم عرفة that if you are consistent upon major sins then the day of Arafa you are not going to be from those whose necks are freed from the Hellfire because the Salaa which is even bigger than Arafa greater than Arafa it cannot eradicate it cannot expiate your sins if you are consistent upon major sins the messenger said الصلاة الخمس the five daily prayers والجمعة إلى الجمعة and one Friday to the other Friday كفارة اللي ما بينهنة they are an expiation of those days in between those two Fridays ما لم تغشل كبائر as long as the person is not consistent and continuous upon the what the major sins so the five daily prayers couldn't do anything for you and the جمعة prayer can't do anything for you so for definite definitely يوم عرفة will not do it for you so stay away from major sins the fourth virtue that this day has is دلو الربي الله comes close الله it's the day when he descends سبحانه وتعالى and the way that he descends is in a way على تكيف ويدلو من عباده في عرفات الدلوة يليخ بجلاله وعظمته وكماله من غير تكيف ولا تمثيل ومن غير تحريف ولا تعطيل الله will descend in a way that befits His Majesty a way that befits His Majesty سبحانه وتعالى without any how without any resemblance to His creation and without any distortion and any dismissing of these characteristics that Allah descends سبحانه وتعالى we mentioned before the hadith of our mother Aisha where she said that the Prophet said إنه لا يدنو الله will come close to His creation and the scholars they mentioned الله descending means that He's going to forgive His creation that He's going to accept their supplication سبحانه وتعالى وليذلك there's a hadith from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that he responded to one of the Sahabas حينما سأله when he asked him عن ثواب من وقف في عرفة he asked the Prophet about the reward of the person who stands in عرفة who is standing who has done Hajj who is standing in عرفة what is that person's reward the Messenger said أما وقوف عرفة the Messenger said as for standing in عرفة فإن الله ينزل إلى السماء الدنيا الله descends فيباهي بهم الملائكة and Allah calls on His angels and says to His angels هؤلاء عبادي these are my creations جاءوني they came to me شعثا غبرا they came to me and they are dusted and they are fatigued and tired من كل فجن عميق and they came from all over the corners of the earth يرجون الرحمة and they are hoping for my mercy ويخافون عذابي and they are scared of my punishment ولم يروني and they haven't seen me فكيف لو رعاني أما فكيف لو رعاني what will their situation be if they were to see me فلو كان عليك the prophet said that الله says if it's upon you مثل رمل عالجن it means if those pebbles on this earth of sins that you've done this earth all of the pebbles those small rocks of sins that you've done or مثل أيام الدنيا or the days that are in this world مثل قطر السماء or the rain that comes from the sky of sins that you've done غسلها الله عنك الله will watch it for you that day الله will watch it الإمام الطبراني narrated in his معجم الكبير وحسنه الشيخ الألماني في صحيح الجامع so that's the virtue the virtue also is that Allah is blessed He calls onto his angels and Allah says to his angels this is the fifth virtue Allah says to his angels إن الله تعالى عز وجل يباهي بهم الملائكة عشية يوم عرفة بأهل عرفة فيقول أونظرو إلى عبادة أتوني شعفا غبرا الله will call onto his angels and he will say look at my slaves over there look how they are tired and they are fatigued look how they are dusted and they are all there for my sake so the fact that Allah will call onto his angels to mention these people from all of the people of the face of this earth shows you the virtue of the day of عرفة and brothers as we know the human body the heart is the most important component of the human being and without it the person won't exist the heart of Hajj is عرفة the prophet SAW he said الحج عرفة حج is عرفة if a person misses عرفة then there is no Hajj for that person it is the most important day of عرفة and the day of Hajj for the people who will do Hajj الله تبارك و تعالى سبس الدعاء of the people of عرفة we mentioned in the hadith الله says ما أراد هؤلاء what do these slaves of mine want and then in another narration الله says اشهدوا ملائكتي الله says angels witness أني قد غفرتوا لهم that I have forgiven them that I have forgiven each and every one of them and Imam Al-Mundiri mentioned in his كتاب الترغيب والترهيب and Shaykh Al-Bani authenticated it الله will forgive them and we all know the hadith خير الدعاء the best dua is دعاء عرفة the best dua is the dua of your معرفة so the person should understand that Allah forgives و لذلك عبد الله من المبارك as ابن أبي الدنيا he mentioned in his كتاب ابن أبي الدنيا has a mousu'a and we didn't know a mousu'a there is a Risala called حسن الظني بالله to think good of Allah as a Jala ابن أبي الدنيا mentioned a story عبد الله من مبارك he came to سفيان and the سفيان we are referring to here is سفيان الثوري و رحمه الله عبد الله من بارك came to سفيان الثوري عشية يوم عرفة on the day of Arafa and سفيان الثوري وهو جاثن على رقبتي he was on his knees and his hands were raised in the air وعينه and the eyes of سفيان الثوري were watering and he was crying عبد الله من بارك looked at him and عبد الله من بارك cried as well seeing سفيان الثوري cried and then عبد الله من بارك said to him to سفيان الثوري ما شاء النوكو what is the reality here what is happening here what is the situation what is it that's making you cry سفيان الثوري we said من أسوأو who is more worse أهل هذا الجمع حالة who is the worst person in this place I mean the worst person in this gathering here right now in Arafa is referring to they are in Arafa all of them the worst person in this place in Arafa is the one who thinks اللدي يظنوا أن الله لا يغفروا لهم the one who thinks الله will not forgive him today سفيان الثوري said that فضيل معياضن رحمه الله the same thing he went to Arafa and he stood in Arafa and he heard the people's noise and the people's crying and the people are weeping and if you've been to Hajj what you see is more people crying and more people begging Allah that day فضيل معياضن he saw he said أرأيت لو أن أولئي صار إلى رجل فسألوه دانقا pay attention to this فضيل معياضن said to the people that were with him he said to them do you see all of these people today the way they're crying the way they're humbled the way they're begging their Creator if they were all to go today and they were to ask in the state that they are in right now they were to ask a person for a دانق a دانق is صدس الدرهم if you divide a dirham into what one sixth of a dirham very small money it's pennies the state that they are in right now if they were to ask for pennies would he reject them would he give it to them أكان يردهم قالوا لا they said no no one would reject the people the way they're crying the way they're weeping and what they are asking for is nothing and then he said والله باية الله لمغفرة to Allah Allah's forgiveness عند الله the forgiveness of Allah أول من إجابة رجول لهم بدانق the forgiveness of Allah and to forgive them is more than a man to give them a dانق meaning Allah is going to forgive them for what they are asking and the situation that they're in and what they are asking Allah is very little because Allah is Subhanahu و تعالى his treasures and what he has is very great brothers and sisters the day of Arafa it is أنه من أعظم أيام السنة it is the greatest day and it's the hardest day on shaitan stays the hardest day of shaitan يوم عرفة طلح ابن عبيد الله ابن كوريزل he said رحمه الله أن رسول الله يسأل الله عليه وسلم قال دماثل صلى الله عليه وسلم I said ما رؤية الشيطان الشيطان was not seen يومن هو أصغر and they were belittling than him a day where shaitan was belittled and he was humiliated he was put down ولا أدحر ولا أحقر ولا أغيط منه في يوم عرفة than the day of the Arafa the lowest the most humiliated day for shaitan is the day of Arafa وما ذاك and the reason for that is إلا لما رأى من تنزل الرحمة من تنزل الرحمات the massive of Allah descending that he can see has hurt his heart it broke his heart وتجاوز الله and Allah is forgiving أني ذنوب العظام how Allah is forgiving for the great sins that the people have committed شيطان this day it hurts him the most it's the hardest day on him and he hates it I just want to mention a couple of points before I go into the fasting of saturday and that is those are the virtues that I wanted to mention those seven virtues I just want to mention brothers the day of Arafa which is tomorrow increase on saying and repeating كلمة التوحيد say لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك ولو الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير increase in saying that because this is هد يونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم it's the path and the guidance of our messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and it's not the guidance of the prophet but it's the guidance of all prophets the prophet said خير الدعاء is the best dua دعاء يوم عرفة is the dua of يوم عرفة وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبل and the best thing that I and all the prophets before me the best thing that we said on the day of Arafa is لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير that is the best thing you can say repeat it say it don't let your mouth drive from saying it the reason is why because يوم عرفة what did we say هو خير الأيام وسيدها it's the best day the best day is يوم عرفة and the best أذكار to do is what the best أذكار and the best ذكر to do is what the prophet said افضل with ذكر لا إله إلا الله the best ذكر is to say لا إله إلا الله so the best day with the best ذكر they go together so don't busy yourself with anything else but just say that it's also the point number two it is also recommended this day the day of عرفة it is recommended that when you're making دعاء don't just say it raise your hand in any situation that you're in يوم عرفة it's a sunnah to raise your hands if you're driving and you pull over and you want to make دعاء raise your hand even if you're driving drive with one hand and make دعاء with the other and this is based on what the prophet did عليه الصلاة والسلام أصامة أبري زيدن he said كنت رديف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بعرفات I was on the riding beast with the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم in عرفة فرافع يدي يدعو the messenger raised his hand supplicating فما لت به ناقته and his riding beast it curved with him it deviated فسقط خطام مهاء and then the road rain of the beast fell off from him فتناول الخطام with the prophet grabbed the rain again with one hand بإحدى يدي ووا رافع يده الأخرى and the other hand he was making دعاء with it so he held one hand with the rope and the other hand he made one hand he made دعاء with it صلى الله عليه وسلم so try to do that by making دعاء and supplicating by raising your hand the third thing is that if you make دعاء and you supplicate this day make sure that the دعاء that you make tomorrow they are الادعية المأفورة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم make sure that the دعاء that you make tomorrow is the transmitted دعاء the duas that have been transmitted from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the reason is because and the النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أوتى جوامي عالكلي and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم أوتى جوامي عالكلي the messenger was given what was he given he was given he was given he was given جوامي عالكلي he was given comprehensive speech and so the Prophet's دعاء is the most comprehensive the most strongest دعاء than anyone can make your دعاء will never be as strong and as powerful as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم now I'm going to conclude my أوت and that is the day of عرفة tomorrow is going to fall on a Saturday and the scholars when it comes to fasting on Saturday there are a difference of opinion and the reason why there is a difference of opinion is as follows there is two hadiths one hadith is the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he entered upon his wife جويرية رضي الله تعالى عنها جويرية بنت الحارث he entered on to his wife جويرية and the hadith is found صحيح البخاري the messenger entered on to her دخل عليها يوم الجمعة and it was on a Friday وهي صائمة and she was fasting جويري was fasting it was a Friday and she was fasting فقال the Prophet said to his wife جويرية أصمتي أمسي did you fast yesterday which would be a Thursday I repeat again the messenger entered on to his wife جويرية بنت الحارث and she was fasting on a Friday so the messenger said to جويرية did you fast yesterday which would be a Thursday قالت لا she said I didn't fast on Thursday قال then the messenger said to her تُرِدينة are you intending to تصومي غداً do you want to fast tomorrow which would be a Saturday قالت لا she said no then the messenger said to her فأفطني break your fast this hadith shows that جويرية was fasting a voluntary fasting and the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم asked her if she would fast a day before which is a Thursday and a day which is after which is a Saturday so this hadith indicates and shows the permissibility of fasting on a Saturday does it not because the prophet asked عليه الصلاة والسلام in another hadith on the authority of مسلمة that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم she said about him كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصوم يوم سبتي that the messenger used to fast on a Saturday و يوم الأحد and he would fast on a Sunday أكثر من ما يصوم more than what he would fast من الأيام than the other days و يقول when the messenger would say إنهما these two days Saturdays and on a Sunday يوم عيد المشركين it's the celebration of the two these two days are a celebration of the مشركين فأنا أحب أنو خالفهم and I want to oppose them by fasting that day are we all together so the messenger used to fast on a Saturday and he used to fast on a Sunday and the reason why he would fast on those two days is his hadith mentions is because he wants to oppose the pagans and the polythists by fasting those days because they used to celebrate those days as عيد and on عيد you're not allowed to fast right so you want to oppose them so we have that hadith which show the permissibility on fasting what Saturday and then there's another hadith another hadith where it says that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said this hadith says that the prophet said لا تصوموا don't fast يوم سبتي don't fast on Saturday إلا في مفترض عليكم unless it's made obligatory on you وإن لم يجد أحدكم and if one of you cannot find anything to break his fasting with إلا لحاء عينبتن except the peeling of a grape أو شجرة أو عود شجرة or you can find a twig or a branch فليم ضغو أو فليم ضغو let him eat on it if you can't even break your fast you have nothing to break your fast then break your fast on these things instead of fasting on Saturday so the beginning of the hadith says لا تصوموا يوم سبتي don't fast on a Saturday and unless it's obligatory on you and if you can't find anything to break your fasting with then what do you do eat a the skin of a of the grapes or twigs or eat something are we all together this now became an issue between due to these two hadiths two madhabs and the madahibs came out of it which is are you allowed to fast on a Saturday and we know tomorrow is your معرفة and some scholars they hold the opinion that you can't fast tomorrow because it's Saturday and because it's Saturday so how do we reconcile between this Insha'Allah the way that we reconcile between it is one view of scholars they say that this hadith لا تصوموا يوم سبتي إلا في مفطولب عليكم it's a hadith which is weak as a group of scholars who took this who took the opinion that this hadith is weak from them is ألمان ماليك ألمان محمد يحمد سعيد القلطان أبو داود شيخو الإسلامي بلوتيميا حافظ من حجر and from those recent scholars شيخ عبد عزل لباز they all held the opinion in this hadith is what ضعيف and they weakened it and they said this is not authentic if you take the opinion that the hadith is weak then this discussion from this minute onwards doesn't concern you because you see the hadith to be ضعيف so you're not even in an issue here right now there's no problem for you because if the delil is weak then what is taken from the delil is also going to be what weak the foundation is weak but if you hold the opinion that the hadith is صحيح you have to deal with this hadith then and I'm of the opinion that the hadith is صحيح the hadith that I took when I was 17 is صحيح and the scholars that authenticated it are atirmili and Imam Atirmili authenticated it ابن خزيم authenticated it ابن حبان authenticated it الامام الحاكم authenticated it ابن سكن authenticated it الضياء المقدس authenticated it ابن قدام authenticated it الامام النوي authenticated it ابن عبد الهادي in his كتاب المحرر he authenticated it النوي he did it in his matchmoo الضعب authenticated it العراق زي نودين العراق authenticated it ابن ملقن authenticated it and الشيخ الالباني رحمه الله authenticated it so for me the hadith is insha'Allah تعالى between صحيح and حسن but the hadith is tabith the hadith is authentic whether it be صحيح or حسن the hadith is established and I want to mention quickly the hadith is narrated from four companions the hadith is narrated only from four companions four companions narrated from the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the first one is عبد الله يبن بوسرن and the narrations that go to عبد الله يبن بوسرن are ثلاثة طرق three ways go back to عبد الله يبن بوسرن I won't go into that the second person is أخته الصماء بالتبوسرن the sister of who عبد الله يبن بوسرن the first man I mentioned and the narrations that go back to her the طرق that go back to her are four and the third person is their father their father who is بوسر بن أبي ابن أبي بوسرن المهزين the father of الصماء and عبد الله their father who's got only one طرق that goes back to him these three are related some scholars they wrote narrations where الصماء متبوسرن she's actually the auntie of عبد الله يبن بوسرن and some narrations he's maternal auntie and some of the narrations say she's paternal auntie and some of the times the narration is narrated from عبد الله يبن بوسرن not his sister صماء على كل حال this made some of the scholars say this hadith is weak they said it's مبارب one time this person one time this person one time this person but what we say is and that is these three are companions all three of them are companions عبد الله يبن بوسرن الصماء بن تبوسرن and بوسر بن أبي بوسرن المهزين all three of them are companions ولذلك ابن عبد البر he said in his kitab this 12 volume بسندي إلى دوحيم and he said أهل وبيتي أربعة صحيب النبياء four family members they all befriended the prophet they were all companions بوسرن which is a father وابنى who is two sons عبد الله وعطية وأخطوما and their sister who is الصماء all four of them are companions so whatever differences whether sometimes the hadith is narrated from this person or sometimes it's narrated from this person the scholars they say whichever direction it goes it goes to a companion right and the companions are all they're all reliable so that's not a problem to weaken the narration the fourth person who narrated the hadith is أبو أمامة الباهيلي his name is صديب نعجلان and there's two طريقة that it comes back to so the hadith is صحيح that the prophet say don't fast on a Saturday but how do we reconcile between these two narrations the way that we reconcile between it is when the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم his hadith تصوموا يومة سبت don't fast on a Saturday unless it's made obligatory on you so the first part of the hadith says لا تصوموا يومة سبت do not fast on what on a Saturday and there's an exception what is exception the only obligatory exception right so this استثناء متصل it's a connected it's called المخصص المتصل التمثيلي the أصوليين call it meaning the exception is connected to the prohibition don't fast on a Saturday except it's all mentioned in one hadith correct yes or no it is what about if we find other narrations that gave an exception as well are we all together لا تصوموا يومة سبت this hadith only took out the first the second part only took out what the obligation and the other hadith they took out what to fast a day before it or a day a day after it are we all together so that's also an exception that will take out of it as well that will say لا تصوموا يومة سبت don't fast on a Saturday if you haven't fast in a day before it or a day after it based on the other hadiths where the prophet he said to have you fasted a day before it or have you fasted a day after it and she said I haven't fasted a day before it and I'm not planning to fast a day after it and then he said break your fast that hadith is also an exception that if you're fasting on Saturday it has to be a day before it or a day after it are we all together brothers am I making sense here but some people may say right now I haven't fasted on the day of عرفة on yesterday for me to fast on on Saturday for the day of عرفة صح are we all together brothers the ones who didn't fast today they can't fast عرفة based on what we've said so far and they've also got an exception as well which is that the prophet when did he say to Abdulahim أعمر when did he say to Abdulahim أعمر Abdulahim أعمر used to fast every day the prophet said سوم سيام داود فإنو كان يصوموا يومة ويفضلوا fast like the fasting of داود he used to fast one day and he would miss one day and the hadith where the prophet used to fast three days three days of every single month so if you fast one day Saturday may fall are we all together so if a person fasted Saturday and there's a day sorry the hadith of أعمر is also for fasting one day either before it or one day after it are we all together the question is يوم عرفة how does a person go out of it are we all together the يوم عرفة the way we get out of it is the حدي the إجماع the consensus that some of the scholars transmitted from the Salaf and Imam Al-Tahawi mentioned when he did the Salah of it he brought it that the Salaf the Salaf all of them من غير استثناء and he'll also tell me he mentioned it in his the Salah of the Hadith لا تصوموا يوم السبتي that if a person fasts on Saturday and comes a day after it where there is a prohibition to fast because you can't fast on Sunday none of us can fast on Sunday why because it's on a day of day of عيد are we all together and Imam Al-Tahawi he brought a consensus from the Salaf that it's what that it's permissible that the Salaf believed it to be permissible you can fast if it's a day that's by itself like عرفة that has a specific specific virtue so I think that إجماع can be a مخصص it can specify and I think that's the fairest balance in terms of the issue of fasting on Saturday إن شاء الله anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaytan and that Allah his message are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوب إليك
