Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

1863 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took me by the hand and said, “Allah created the soil (1) on Saturday; He set the mountains therein on Sunday; He created the trees on Monday; He created what is disliked on Tuesday; He created the light on Wednesday; He scattered the beasts in it on Thursday; and He created Adam, peace be upon him, after the afternoon of Friday, at the very end of creation, in the last hour of the day, between afternoon and night.” Reported by Muslim.

1864 – Abū Sulaymān Khālid ibn al-Walīd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “On the day of Muʾtah nine swords broke in my hand, and nothing was left in my hand except a Yemenite blade.” Reported by al-Bukhari.

1865 – ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “When a judge gives a ruling after exerting his reasoning and gets it right, he will have two rewards; if he rules after exerting his reasoning and is mistaken, he still has one reward.” Agreed upon.

1866 – ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Fever comes from the searing heat of Hell (2), so cool it with water.” Agreed upon.

1867 – She also reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever dies owing fasts, his guardian is to fast on his behalf.” Agreed upon.

The preferred view is that it is permissible to fast on behalf of someone who dies owing fast days, in light of this ḥadīth (3). The term wali (“guardian”) here refers to a relative, whether that person is an heir or not.

(1) That is, the ground. For a detailed discussion of the hadith—including the alleged conflict some claim between it and the Quran and a rebuttal of those who question its isnad—see my notes on Mishkat (no. 5735) and Silsilat al-Sahihah (no. 1833). –N– (2) With a fatha on the fa and the ya in sukun: *fayh*, the blazing, searing heat. (3) In my view, this ruling pertains to a fast undertaken as a vow; it does not apply to the obligatory fast of Ramadan. –N–

١٨٦٣ - وعنه قال : أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ : « خَلَقَ اللَّهُ التُّرْبَةَ (١) يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ ، وَخَلَقَ فِيهَا الْجِبَالَ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ ، وَخَلَقَ الشَّجَرَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ ، وَخَلَقَ الْمَكْرُوهَ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ ، وَخَلَقَ النُّورَ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ ، وَبَثَّ فِيهَا الدَّوَابَّ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ ، وَخَلَقَ آدَمَ ﷺ ، بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي آخِرِ الْخَلْقِ فِي آخِرِ سَاعَةٍ مِنَ النَّهَارِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ » رواه مسلم . ١٨٦٤ - وعن أبي سليمان خالد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال : لَقَدِ انْقَطَعَتْ فِي يَدِي يَوْمَ مُؤْتَةَ تِسْعَةُ أَسْيَافٍ ، فَمَا بَقِيَ فِي يَدِي إِلَّا صَفِيحَةٌ يَمَانِيَّةٌ . رواه البخاري . ١٨٦٥ - وعن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، يَقُولُ : « إِذَا حَكَمَ الْحَاكِمُ ، فَاجْتَهَدَ ، ثُمَّ أَصَابَ ، فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ ، وَإِذَا حَكَمَ وَاجْتَهَدَ ، فَأَخْطَأَ ، فَلَهُ أَجْرٌ » متفق عليه . ١٨٦٦ - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها ، أن النبي ﷺ ، قال : « الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ (٢) فَأَبْرِدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ » متفق عليه . ١٨٦٧ - وعنها رضي الله عنها ، عن النبي ﷺ ، قال : « مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صَوْمٌ ، صَامَ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ » متفق عليه . وَالْمُخْتَارُ جَوَازُ الصَّوْمِ عَمَّنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صَوْمٌ لِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ (٣) ، وَالْمُرَادُ بِالْوَلِيِّ : الْقَرِيبُ وَارِثًا كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرَ وَارِثٍ .

(١) أي : الأرض . وراجع معنى الحديث ودفع التعارض الذي يدعيه البعض بينه وبين القرآن والرد على من طعن في إسناده ، في تعليقي على « المشكاة » (٥٧٣٥) و « الصحيحة » (١٨٣٣) - ن - . (٢) بفتح الفاء وسكون الياء : سطوع الحر وفورانه . (٣) قلت : والأرجح أن ذلك في صوم النذر . وأما صوم رمضان فلا - ن - .
