Page 695 - from Volume One (Display Image)The word Talbiyah, which is his saying to you, as God is the greatest in the takbeer of Ihram in prayer. This wording is obligatory according to these people and to the majority of scholars, and it is desirable, and I say with it, and the wording with it is more appropriate. First, some of them said that raising the voice in the talbiyah is desirable except in the mosques of the congregations, except for the Sacred Mosque and the Mosque of Mina according to some of them, and they differed in the talbiyah whether it is a pillar or not. Labeik, then we take the action when God called me to bring him attributes, and some of them said, It is not a pillar. [ The intent to God for Hajj is a special intent for a specific name ]Know that the intention to God Almighty with this special worship that combines Ihram and disposing of the most permissible is a special intention for a special name, and it is the one who calls to the House with this purpose, not to him, but for his sake in a manner of worship tainted with a state of sovereignty. By the Jamarat, he described a divine act in his saying, And We rained stones upon them. He narrated that Iblees was repeatedly exposed to Ibrahim Al-Khalil in the places of these Jamarat, so he counted him according to the number of what he legislated and in their time, as well as in throwing the spews, for it is a description of God from His saying, We will empty yourselves for you. [ The emergence of the rule of sovereignty in the worship of Hajj ]And the circumambulation of the House because this action surrounds the House from His saying that He surrounds everything and the remembrance of it is from His saying So, Remember Me, I will remind you. Abu Yazid said, The tyranny of your Lord is severe. He said, My tyranny is more severe. He said, My tyranny is more severe. He said, I mean, if the servant oppresses him, not himself. A face that the oppressor intends the truth, for he is the most merciful with him in his oppression, so the slave s oppression is more severe because no mercy can be established by him for the one who is oppressed by him and what is similar to that of sand and striving, and every action for him in divinity is described. [ Let your intention to go home be with your Lord, not by yourself ]And if you know that the intention to the House is from God and not to Him, then your intention to the House should be with your Lord and not by yourself, so that you will have a divine purpose, for God Almighty intended this House without other houses and asked His servants to refer to it with a special description, which is Ihram and all the actions of the pilgrim. With it he began when reaching the house, so he did not command you to go to the house, not to it except because he made it a sensory intention in which he traveled the closest distance from your house in Mecca to the house and he is with you wherever you are. [ The sign of the house signifies to you about yourself ]Then it is on the house that is like you and of your gender, I mean that it is created, so its indication to you of the house is its indication to you of yourself in his saying: He who knows himself knows his Lord. Are you him or not him, for there you will get the correct knowledge, for the evidence may be contrary to the signified, and it may be the same as the signified. Close to the occasion, so he said: I am very close. [ The house is called a house to spend the night in, and the night does not take place except at night .]In the beginning of the chapter, secrets that appeared in the consideration of the house were presented, then he came with the word house because of the derivation of the overnight stay, as if it was called a house to stay in it, because it is the greatest pillar of the benefits of the house, as they say Hajj Arafat wants most of it. And his soul is due to his sleep, for when he is awake, he is characterized by his preservation of his journey and his soul, so when he takes into account the night and the night, it is only at night, not during the day, and this is why Ahmed bin Hanbal took care of washing the hand during ablution before entering it into the vessel for those who got up from sleep at night, especially for his saying, peace be upon him, that one of you does not know Where did his hand sleep, so he came up with the word overnight, and he made the ruling in the night's sleep? [ He did not make the truth manifest to his servants in temporal judgment except at night .]And since the night is the place of transfiguration in it, the truth is that He did not make His transfiguration for His servants in the temporal judgment except in the night, for in it our Lord descends, and in it was the Night Journey of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. |
