Prophet Ismail and hisMother

When Ismail (alayhis salam) was still a small baby, his father Ibrahim
(alayhis salam) took him and his mother, Hajra, to the site of the
Ka'ba. He gave them some dates and a goat skin full of water and left
them there. At that time no one lived at the Ka'ba, and there was no
water nearby. As Ibrahim (alayhis salam) was walking away, Ismail's
(alayhis salam) mother followed him, asking why she and her son were
being left in sucha desolate place. She askedseveral times but he
would not answer her. Finally, she asked if Allah had ordered him to
do thisand he replied that it was so. Upon hearing this, she accepted
Allah's will and returned to the site where Ibrahim (alayhis salam)
had left her.
As soon as Ibrahim (alayhis salam) was out of sight, he turned and
prayed to Allah to protect and provide for his family which he had
left out in the wilderness:
"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley
without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; In order, O our Lordthat
they may establish regular prayer ; So fill the hearts of some among
men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits; So that they
may give thanks." (al-Qur'an 14:37)
Ismail (alayhis salam) and his mother lived for some time on the
supply of water and dates, but finally the water began to give out,
and Ismail's (alayhis salam) mother could no longer produce sufficient
milk to nurse herbaby. The baby became agitated and near to death
because of his thirst. The mother could not bear to see her child
suffering, so she ran to the top of nearby Mt. Safa to see if she
could find someone to help her. When she could see no one, she ran
down the mountain and across the valley to Mt. Marwa. Seven times she
ran from one mountain to the other, looking in vain for assistance.
After the seventh time she heard a voice and she called out toit for
help. When she looked she saw an angel digging the earth with his heel
until water flowed forth. That place was the site of Zam-zam. She
carefully made a depression around the place where the water was
flowing, and filled herwaterbag with her hands. Then she was able to
drinkwater and nurse her baby. The angel told her not to be afraid,
that she and her son would be provided for.
Ismail (alayhis salam) and his mother continued to live at the Ka'ba
all by themselves for some time. One day some people of the Jurhum
tribe were passing through the valley. They didn't intend to stop,
because they knew that there had neverbeen any water in that valley.
But they saw a kindof bird which was known to frequent wet spots, so
they followed it to the spring of Zam-zam. There they found Ismail's
mothersitting by the water.
Ismail's (alayhis salam) mother was a very sociable person who
lovedthe company of others, so she readily agreed to their request to
stop there for a while, provided that they did not claim possession
ofthe water. Some of the people of Jurhum decided to settle
permanently by Zam-zam and sent for their families. Ismail (alayhis
salam) grew up with these people and learned to speak Arabic from
them. When he grewup, they urged him to marry one of their women.
You can read about Ismail and his mother in Sahih al-Bukhari IV:582-584.

6a] Turning off the cell phone during the Fridaykhutbah – does this come under the heading of idle action that invalidates the reward of Jumu’ah?

2. He is enjoined to be quiet and refrain from speaking. It is
haraam for him to speak whilst the imam is delivering the khutbah, and
it is also haraam for him to move, fidget, touch the pebbles, draw
lines on the ground, or anything else of that nature.

During the Friday khutbah, some brothers' cell phones ring whilst
thekhateeb is delivering the khutbah on the minbar, and some of them
have musical tones that are similar to the tunes of promiscuous songs.
Thosewhose cell phones ring turn them off during the khutbah. Is this
regarded as coming under the heading of idle action to which the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) referred in his
hadeeth? Does this mean that there is no Jumu'ah for the one who
engages in idle action, and that thereward of Jumu'ah becomes like the
reward for Zuhr only? We hope you can clarify this matter.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Using musical tunes as thering tones for cell phones is an evil action
and is haraam, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) forbade all musical instruments. See the answer to question
no. 47407 .
The one who forgets to turn off his cell phone during the Friday
khutbahhas to turn it off if it rings,even if the ring tone is
permissible, because leaving it disturbs the khateeb and other
worshippers, and distractsthem from the obligation of listening to the
khateeb.
We hope that switching itoff does not come under the heading of idle
talk that is forbidden during the Friday khutbah, whichis referred to
in the question. This is mentioned in the words of the Prophet (peace
andblessings of Allaah be upon him), "but whoever touches the pebbles
has engaged in an idle action." Narrated by Muslim (857).
The hadeeth applies to the one who fiddles with something that
distracts him from listening to the khutbah, such as a cell phone, a
carpet and so on.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar, in Fathal-Baari, commentary on hadeeth no (934),
narrated that the majorityof scholars said that the one who needs to
enjoin something good or forbid something bad at the time of the
khutbah may do so by gesturing.
Al-Nawawi said in Sharh Saheeh Muslim:
This hadeeth indicates that all kinds of speech are haraam during the
khutbah. … Rather the way to do it if one wants to tell someone else
not to speak is by gesturing to him to be quiet, if he will understand
it. End quote.
Based on this, then a slight movement that is done for a good reason
is acceptable and is not idle action, and there is nothing wrong with
doing it during the Friday khutbah.
Secondly:
The meaning of the Prophet's words, "There isno Jumu'ah for him",
concerning the one who engages in idle action during the Friday
khutbah, is that it will be recorded for him as Zuhr, and he will be
deprived ofthe reward for Jumu'ah prayer.
It was narrated from 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'Aas (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: "If a person engages in idle action or steps over
people's necks, it will be Zuhr for him." Narrated byAbu Dawood (347);
classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Al-Nadr ibn Shameel said: "you engaged in idle action" means: you lost
something of your reward; and it was said: you invalidated the
virtueof your Jumu'ah. And it was said: Your Jumu'ah became Zuhr.
I [Ibn Hajar] said: The comments of the scholars of [Arabic] language
are close in meaning, and the latter view is supported by what Abu
Dawood andIbn Khuzaymah narrated from 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Amr in a
marfoo' hadeeth: "If aperson engages in idle action or steps over
people's necks, it will be Zuhr for him." Ibn Wahb –one of the
narrators – said: What it means is: Hisprayer is still valid but he is
deprived of the virtue of Jumu'ah. End quote.
Fath al-Baari (2/414).
Badr al-Deen al-'Ayni (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The words "it will be Zuhr for him" mean: his Jumu'ah will be Zuhr for
him, in the sense that the virtue that he would haveattained from
Jumu'ah will not be attained, because he failed to fulfil the
condition of this virtue. End quote.
Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood (2/169).
What those who come to Jumu'ah prayer should do is respect the symbols
of Allaah, which includes keeping the physical faculties still and
refraining from fidgeting, and keeping the tongue still and refraining
from talking, otherwise he has sinned and his Jumu'ah has become Zuhr.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him)said:
Undoubtedly the Muslim is enjoined during the khutbah to listen and
pay attention, and stop moving. He is enjoined to do two things:
1. Be silent and still, and refrain from moving or fidgeting.

5a] Is it permissible for him to complete the purchase when he can hear the call to prayer?

''Friday Prayers'' :-:->
5a]
To sum up: Jumu'ah cannot be compared with other prayers, but if he
avoids such situations so that he will not be distracted from praying
incongregation, that is better.
Whatever the case, if his buying and selling may distract him from
performing prayer in congregation, then it is haraam, but in some
casesthe prayer may be delayed, if the Imam is late, so a person may
buy or sell something on his way, and it may not affecthis attending
the prayer. But if he avoids that and adheres to what applies to
Jumu'ah, that will be more on the safe side, so it is like Jumu'ah
with regard to precautions.

And Allah knows best.
