[hadeth]

عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ: تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ‏.‏ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَ الأَذَانِ وَالسَّحُورِ قَالَ قَدْرُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً‏.‏ صحيح البخاري ومسلم حديث ١٩٢١ - ١٠٩٧

Narrated Anas: Zaid bin Thabit said, "We took the Suhur with the Prophet (peace be upon him) . Then he stood for the prayer." I asked, "What was the interval between the Suhur and the Adhan?" He replied, "The interval was sufficient to recite fifty verses of the Qur'an." Sahih al-Bukhari 1921 In-book reference : Book 30, Hadith 30 // Sahih Muslim 1097a In-book reference : Book 13, Hadith 58

قَوْلُهُ  قَالَ قَدْرُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً أَيْ مُتَوَسِّطَةً لَا طَوِيلَةً وَلَا قَصِيرَةً لَا سَرِيعَةً وَلَا بَطِيئَةً وَقَدْرُ بِالرَّفْعِ عَلَى أَنَّهُ خَبَرُ الْمُبْتَدَأِ وَيَجُوزُ النَّصْبُ عَلَى أَنَّهُ خَبَرُ كَانَ الْمُقَدَّرَةِ فِي جَوَابِ زَيْدٍ لَا فِي سُؤَالِ أَنَسٍ لِئَلَّا تَصِيرَ كَانَ وَاسْمُهَا مِنْ قَائِلٍ وَالْخَبَرُ مِنْ آخَرَ قَالَ الْمُهَلَّبُ وَغَيْرُهُ فِيهِ تَقْدِيرُ الْأَوْقَاتِ بِأَعْمَالِ الْبَدَنِ وَكَانَتِ الْعَرَبُ تُقَدِّرُ الْأَوْقَات بِالْأَعْمَالِ كَقَوْلِهِم قَدْرَ حَلْبِ شَاةٍ وَقَدْرَ نَحْرِ جَزُورٍ فَعَدَلَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى التَّقْدِيرِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ إِشَارَةً إِلَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتَ كَانَ وَقْتَ الْعِبَادَةِ بِالتِّلَاوَةِ وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُقَدِّرُونَ بِغَيْرِ الْعَمَلِ لَقَالَ مَثَلًا قَدْرَ دَرَجَةٍ أَوْ ثُلُثِ خمس سَاعَة. 

     وَقَالَ  بن أَبِي جَمْرَةَ فِيهِ إِشَارَةٌ إِلَى أَنَّ أَوْقَاتِهُمْ كَانَتْ مُسْتَغْرَقَةً بِالْعِبَادَةِ وَفِيهِ تَأْخِيرُ السُّحُورِ لِكَوْنِهِ أبلغ فِي الْمَقْصُود قَالَ بن أَبِي جَمْرَةَ كَانَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ مَا هُوَ الْأَرْفَقُ بِأُمَّتِهِ فَيَفْعَلُهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ يَتَسَحَّرْ لَاتَّبَعُوهُ فَيَشُقُّ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ وَلَوْ تَسَحَّرَ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ لَشَقَّ أَيْضًا عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ مِمَّنْ يَغْلِبُ عَلَيْهِ النَّوْمُ فَقَدْ يُفْضِي إِلَى تَرْكِ الصُّبْحِ أَوْ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى الْمُجَاهَدَةِ بِالسَّهَرِ. 

     وَقَالَ  فِيهِ أَيْضًا تَقْوِيَةٌ عَلَى الصِّيَامِ لِعُمُومِ الِاحْتِيَاجِ إِلَى الطَّعَامِ وَلَوْ تُرِكَ لَشَقَّ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ وَلَا سِيَّمَا مَنْ كَانَ صَفْرَاوِيًّا فَقَدْ يُغْشَى عَلَيْهِ فَيُفْضِي إِلَى الْإِفْطَارِ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ تَأْنِيسُ الْفَاضِلِ أَصْحَابَهُ بِالْمُؤَاكَلَةِ وَجَوَازُ الْمَشْيِ بِاللَّيْلِ لِلْحَاجَةِ لِأَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ مَا كَانَ يَبِيتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِيهِ الِاجْتِمَاعُ عَلَى السُّحُورِ وَفِيهِ حُسْنُ الْأَدَبِ فِي الْعِبَارَةِ لِقَوْلِهِ تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ نَحْنُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَا يُشْعِرُ لَفْظُ الْمَعِيَّةِ بِالتَّبَعِيَّةِ... فتح الباري شرح صحيح البخاري لابن حجر

فِيهِ دَلِيلُ اسْتِحْبَابِ تَأْخِيرِ السَّحُورِ، وَتَقْرِيبِهِ مِنْ الْفَجْرِ. ابن دقيق العيد

الحديث ترجم عليه الإمام البخاري –رحمه الله تعالى- بقوله: باب قدر كم بين السحور وصلاة الفجر أي: انتهاء السحور وابتداء الصلاة، يعني: المدة بين انتهاء السحور وابتداء الصلاة؛ لأن المراد تقدير الزمان الذي تُرك فيه الأكل، الفاصل بين نهاية الأكل الذي هو نهاية السحور وإقامة الصلاة.

"والمراد بفعل الصلاة أول الشروع فيها" وصلاة الفجر ليس المراد نهايتها؛ لئلا يقال: إن الخمسين آية في نفس الصلاة. 

والمراد بفعل الصلاة أول الشروع فيها، قاله الزين بن المنيَّر فيما نقله ابن حجر. وقال العيني: مطابقته للترجمة من حيث إن فيه تأخير السحور إلى أن يبقى من الوقت بين الأذان وأكل السحور مقدار خمسين آية... شرح كتاب التجريد الصريح لأحاديث الجامع الصحيح للخضير

How The Adhan First Began

The Prophet ﷺ said to Bilāl: “Stand up and make the aḏān.” (قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم لبلال: " قم فأذن ". Ṣaḥīḥ * صحيح. ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: When the Muslims first came to al-Madīnah they use to gather and guess the time of al-ṣalāh (ie: the prayer). وهو من حديث عبد الله بن عمر رضى الله عنه قال: كان المسلمون حين قدموا المدينة يجتمعون فيتحينون الصلاة، No one use to make the call of prayer (at that time). ليس ينادى لها، The Companions spoke out it one day. فتكلموا يوما فى ذلك، Some of them said: “Take a bell like the bell of al-Naṣṣārá (ie: the Christians to announce the time of prayer).” فقال بعضهم: اتخذوا ناقوسا مثل ناقوس النصارى، Some of them said: “Take a horn like the horn of al-Yahūd (ie: the Jews to announce the prayer time).” وقال بعضهم: بل بوقا مثل قرن اليهود، ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Should you not send a man to make a call for al-ṣalāh?” فقال عمر: أولا تبعثون رجلا منكم ينادى بالصلاة؟ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O Bilāl stand up and make the call for al-ṣalāh.” فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " يا بلال قم فناد بالصلاة ". And in one narration: “Make the aḏān for the ṣalāh.” وفى رواية: " فأذن بالصلاة ". Reported by al-Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū ʿAwānah, al-Nasāʿī, al-Tirmiḏī, Aḥmad, al-Sirāj in his Musnad, and al-Bayhaqī. أخرجه البخارى (1/160) ومسلم (2/2) وأبو عوانة (1/326) والنسائى (1/102 ـ 103) والترمذى (1/362 ـ 363) وأحمد (2/148) وكذا السراج فى مسنده (1/21/2) والبيهقى (1/390، 392). al-Tirmiḏī said: The ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. وقال الترمذى: " حديث حسن صحيح ".

Merlin's Birth, Summarized:

Seriously, Satan, you already tempted her sister into sin, why not just use her?

[thekingofthenameless]

Since you sent me, I shall send in return!

Blorbos? Tell me about them if you wish!

YES

Okay. Technically he’s my own creation. But DR!Merlin is definitely my blorbo! I’ve made posts about his redesign (which I need to update) and characterization, so now it’s time for backstory!

Well, some of it. The meme I made definitely still applies, but I can, at the least, now tell you about his birth and his sister! :D

So obviously, Emerald Embers spoilers, but there are a lot of dark subjects ahead.

TW/CW for: rape, mentions of genocide, murder, and child death.

In the year 5,650 B.C., Adhan, a mortal human, is raped by a cambion. Merlin is born nine months later as a result.

It was an attempt to bring the Anti-Christ into the world, and as the first human wizard, Merlin was supposed to be. His magic surfaces as a baby, because a demon’s magic is very powerful.

Being half-demon also gave him exceptional intelligence, and it first shows through his eyes. His eyes are a muddy color when he’s born, but as he gets older, and his blue eyes become clearer, intelligence shines in them.

(At two years old he speaks very eloquently, and he’s already beginning to act like an adult in a child’s body.)

Adhan falls in love and marries his stepfather, also a normal human, about a year after his birth.

Three months later, she gets pregnant.

One day, Adhan and Merlin are sitting in their family home. She’s rocking him, and he’s falling asleep. But then a noise coming from his mother’s stomach startles him awake. She’s very confused by what noise he could be talking about, but they eventually figure out that he was hearing a heartbeat from her unborn baby.

His sister, Ganieda is born, and when he sees her for the first time, he gets a gut feeling that she isn’t like him. He’s confused, because he doesn’t know why she isn’t, and he’s sad, because he thought she would be like him.

But he loves her, and when she grows old enough, she loves her big brother’s magic.

Back then, magic wasn’t feared or hated, and people were amazed by it.

But as he and Ganieda grow up, more wizards start being born, and so do more cambions who wanted to bring the end of the world, because Merlin apparently won’t. (He doesn’t even know the true circumstances of his birth until years later.)

Because of all this, people become afraid. They begin to associate all human magic with demons and evil, and they decide they need to exterminate it.

So… they start capturing wizards and killing then.

Whether the wizards are innocent or not isn’t the point; no matter what, it’s a terrible, brutal act that shouldn’t have happened, but it does, and it keeps happening.

But Merlin and his family are safe, and he has no idea what’s going on. (The mortal humans know he has a high amount of power, even if he hasn’t used it yet, so they want to get the drop on him.)

Ganieda gets married to a mortal man named Rhydderch Hael, and Merlin, who’s just started getting into crafting, makes them both wedding gifts.

She gets a necklace, and Rhydderch gets a knife.

Ganieda gets pregnant pretty soon after the wedding, and everyone is overjoyed. Merlin is very excited to be an uncle because it’s his only sibling, and unbeknownst to them, the baby is a girl.

The fear of magic keeps getting worse. Soon whole mobs dedicated to wiping out at all magic form, and they decide they have enough manpower to kill Merlin.

They arrive to Merlin’s village. A few of them infiltrate it, pretending to be newcomers searching for a home; the rest of them stay in hiding. They begin spying on Merlin, and they learn that he has a sister. And anyone who’s in proximity to magic and knows about it is helping them live, and helping the magic spread, so they need to die.

One day, Merlin and Rhydderch go out to trade metal for silk, leaving Ganieda at home because she’s very far along at that point.

The mob strikes.

They break the door to Merlin, Ganieda, and Rhydderch’s house down, and they stab her in the stomach, killing her and her unborn child.

Then they set a few houses on fire, driving everyone else out. They leave Merlin’s family home alone for him to discover.

Then they take their exit, satisfied that their work is done. They’d ruined the village, killed Merlin’s sister, and Merlin would definitely end himself when he discovered the carnage.

Merlin and Rhydderch arrive home to their village mostly burned down, with no one in sight. They’re confused, horrified, and terrified for their family’s safety.

They race to their house, and find the door broken, hanging off its hinges.

Ganieda is on the floor close to the entrance. She’s lying in a pool of her own blood, and it’s clear that she’s been dead for a while.

They stare at her in horrified silence, shock rendering them completely unable to speak.

Merlin starts to disassociate for the first time.

Rhydderch, who had gone to his sister and picked up her body while he was, calls his name and begs him to do something, snapping him out of it.

He walks toward them with shaking legs and kneels slowly, taking her into his arms.

And he tries to think of something, anything, that will help-

But he knows he can’t do anything, and Rhydderch sees it in his eyes. He starts sobbing, and Merlin starts crying too.

Merlin starts to lose his innocence that day. It would take a lot more centuries, a lot more losses, and a lot more trauma, but it was the first thing that changed him into the man he is now.

The village slowly starts trickling back, and they hold a funeral for Ganieda and the baby.

At the funeral, Rhydderch gives Merlin her necklace, saying that he should have it because he was the one who made it.

He takes it without protesting and puts it on, a thousand yard stare on his face.

A few months later, Merlin and Rhydderch find themselves in a battle with the steadily growing number of anti-magic humans. (Some of them are definitely the ones who murdered Ganieda and her child.)

One of them stabs Rhydderch in the heart, and Merlin sees him go down.

He races over, kneeling so quickly he roughly slams his knees, but he barely notices that.

Maybe this time his magic could do something.

He lights his hands up and slams them down into his brother-in-law’s chest, over and and over again.

It doesn’t do anything.

Rhydderch is already gone. He’s dead, just like his sister. Just like his sister, there are no goodbyes, no promises to see each other again.

He stares down at his brother-in-law’s body, his blood covering his hands.

He snaps. A grieving, agonized scream tears from his throat, and with it comes a wave of uncontrollable magic that blasts everyone away.

He picks his brother-in-law up and cradles his body, just like he’d cradled his sister’s.

The village has another funeral.

Eventually, Adhan and his father die of old age, leaving him with only Charlie.

Speaking of Charlie. I need to insert him in here. 🥹🤦‍♀️

Eh that’s a worry for future me 😎👍

Thanks for the ask!

The Holy Qur'an, Hadith Quotes

[badrrr]

I remember Fajr time in this particular Muslim country. Waking up before fajr, something I rarely did at that specific age. I would wake up and make wudhu. Put on my clothes and went on the balcony. And I would sit and listen to the 10 different adhans being called at almost the same time. But then I heard one, out of all them, it was one that was different than the others. His melody, his stress on certain words, his voice. It was a shaykh, I’m sure. My favorite part was when he reached :

"الصلاة خير من النوم"

The breeze and calm at fajr, this muedhin, the sky. سبحان الله

That specific time healed a part of me. It calms me down so much even thinking of it. May Allah bless him and keep him safe. May Allah allow me to experience that again آمين

[thepinkseat-askthemoonbunny]

I’m sorry, the more I read about Merlin’s life from the legends and the shit he got into since birth (like imagine your eighteen month old baby, probably not even off the titty yet speaking in full sentences and defending you at your trial. And then the little shit roasts the judge for filth…”my mom knows my dad better than your mom knows yours.”…The more I imagine Merlin’s mom like that babysitter from the Incredibles with Jack Jack.
