Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 8064 — on Angels Do Not Enter a House
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَدْخَلَانِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَكُنْتُ إِذَا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي تَنَحْنَحَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ الْمَلَكُ اللَّيْلَةَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْفَةً فِي الدَّارِ فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ مَا زِلْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ أَنْتَظِرُكَ إِنَّ فِي بَيْتِكَ كَلْبًا فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ الدُّخُولَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلَا جُنُبٌ وَلَا تِمْثَالٌ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I used to visit the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) twice a day, day and night. Whenever I entered upon him and he was praying, he would clear his throat. One night I came to him and he said: Do you know that an angel has brought a new command? Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was praying when I heard some movement in the house. When I went outside, it was Jibreel (peace be upon him). He said: I was waiting for you this night, but there was a dog in your house, so I could not enter. We do not enter a house in which there is a dog, a person in a state of major impurity (junub), or a picture.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … There is no authentic hadith regarding the angels of mercy not entering a house because of a person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub). Furthermore, at times the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would also delay the ritual bath (ghusl) of janabah until the morning. If such a narration is considered authentic by any scholar, then what is meant by it is a person who habitually delays the ritual bath (ghusl) of janabah. It is also possible that what is intended is the person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) who does not perform ablution (wudu) before sleeping at night, because Imam al-Nasa’i has established this chapter regarding the narration of Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu: “Chapter regarding the junub who does not perform ablution (wudu).” And Allah knows best what is correct.
