#KIBARU

[myonbl]

2022年12月3日（土）

柳家三三が久しぶりに京都で独演会、早めのランチを＜KIBARU四条新町店＞ですませ、会場の＜ヒューリックホール京都＞へと向かう。場内は200人くらいだがもちろん満席、たっぷり3席を楽しんだ。新京極へと移動し、＜Kirin-City 新京極店＞でビール2杯、仕上げに＜林万昌堂＞で甘栗を土産に買って帰路についた。いやぁ、美味しく楽しい1日に大満足、体重増なんて気にしない（泣）。

6時起床。

卵とじうどん＋ヨーグルト＋豆乳。

日誌書く。

ツレアイは買物に、私は＜シモジマ五条店＞でMQJニュース発送用の封筒トラベルシールを購入する。

彼女は、新潟から来た友人と待ち合わせて芦屋のIさん宅へ。息子をAIDSで、夫を病気で亡くされて一人暮らし。近況を伺い、今後のサポートについて相談したようだ。

明日の発送作業に向けて、封筒に住所スタンプを押す。

さて柳家三三の独演会へ、当初はツレアイと行く予定だったが、彼女に別件がはいったために妙齢女子にお付き合いいただいた。

ランチはバスに乗るたびに気になっていたタンメンの店、醤油ベースに辛子味噌で味変。野菜たっぷりは嬉しいが、やはりタンメンは塩味の方がしっくりくる。

歩いてヒューリックホール京都まで移動、かつての立誠小学校跡地、もとの校舎は趣があったが、新しいホテルでガッカリ。

三三は三席、「牛ほめ」「二番煎じ」仲入り「明烏」。端正な語り口で聴きやすく、その上客を引き込む技術に長けている。

新京極まで戻って、サラダをつまみにビール2杯。

林万昌堂で土産に甘栗を買って阪急乗車、私は桂で下車、＜御膳＞で揚げ物買って帰宅する。

ツレアイが先に帰宅していたので、一緒に夕飯準備、息子たちにはスパークリングワイン、私たちは燗酒＋スペインワイン。

録画番組視聴。刑事コロンボ

(63)「4時02分の銃声」

何度見ても新しい！ミステリードラマの金字塔。ウィリアム・シャトナーは「ルーサン警部の犯罪」以来の出演。声は『スター・トレック』カーク船長でおなじみ矢島正明。 

 ラジオ番組の辛口コメンテーター、チェイスは、娘のビクトリアを溺愛していた。彼女の友人でチェイスの助手のジェリーはビクトリアを小説家として独り立ちさせようとするが、チェイスはそれを力づくで阻止する。ジェリーのせいで娘が自分のもとを離れてしまうことを恐れたチェイスは、ジェリーの殺害を計画。ジェリーが自宅で電話中に射殺されたという状況を作り上げる。

片付け、入浴、体重は700g増、自業自得也。

今夜も柳家小ゑんを聴きながら就寝、「ぐるんぐるん」。

無理なく3つのリング完成、水分は測らず。

Zin Kibaru (1 of 4) - Dananayi Muwanigwa

[briefbestiary]

Faran Maka Bote chased Zinkibaru through several locations until eventually managing to knock the spirit down with the counterspell. He then seized the spirit's guitar, thus gaining control of the Niger River.

[asma-al-husna]

Allah calls Himself Al-Kabeer— The All Great, The Most Great, The Grand— on six occasions in the Quran. He is the One who is unimaginably great and perfect. Al-Kabeer embraces all kinds of greatness, from rank, size, nobility, and knowledge to mercy, and it tells us that nothing was, is, or will ever be like Him!

The All-Great, the One Far Greater Than Anything or Anyone

Kabeer comes from the root kaaf-baa-raa, which points to three main meanings. The first is to be great in rank and nobility and the second to be great in size. The third main meaning is to be great in age and the fourth to be great in learning and knowledge. The fifth main meaning is to have rights above all others.

This root appears 161 times in the Quran in eighteen derived forms. Examples of these forms are kabura (“is great,” or “is difficult”), fakabbir (“magnify”), mutakabbireen (“the arrogant)”, akbaru (“greater”), kibaru (“old age”), and kubra, kabeer (“great”).

Linguistically, kibriyyah refers to the concept of greatness. One who is kabeer is someone great in rank or skill. Allah is Al-Kabeer—The All-Great and The Most Great; for each of His attributes He is the greatest.

Al-Kabeer Himself says: So the judgment is with Allah, the Most High, the Grand [Quran, 40:12], . . . because Allah is the Most High, the Grand [Quran, 22:62], and . . . Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand [Quran, 4:34].

The Ranks of This World and the Hereafter

We’re naturally predisposed to admire those who are most beautiful, most intelligent, most eloquent, most powerful, most generous, most merciful, etcetera.
However Al-Kabeer Himself says: See how We prefer one above another (in this world), and verily, the Hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in preferment [Quran, 17:21]. The poorest in this world can be the richest in the Hereafter; it all depends on one thing: your rank with Allah al-Kabeer.

How Can We Live By This Name?

1. Say a lot of takbeer.
Revive the sunnah of The Prophet ‘salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam by saying a lot of takbeer— Allahu Akbar. Abdullah ibn ‘Umar narrates that a man came late to Salāh. Upon arriving to the line he started his prayer with the following words, Allāhu Akbaru Kabīran wal-hamdulillahi kathīran wa subhān Allahi bukratan wa asīlā. The Prophet, after completing the prayer, asked the people who had said this. The man said, O Rasūlullah, I did not intend by it other than good. The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, I saw the gates of heaven open because of those words. Ibn ‘Umar added, I never ceased saying these words since hearing the Prophet say that. [Muslim, At-Tirmidhee, An-Nasaa’i and Ahmad]

2. Find happiness with Al-Kabeer.
Your original nature makes you seek love and perfection and Allah Al-Kabeer is the source of all perfection. So only by turning to Him can your heart feel peace and happiness. In fact, the more you get to know about Him, His names and His attributes, the more you’ll turn to Him with true love and devotion and feel secure and peaceful with Him.

3. Magnify Al-Kabeer in the proper way.
Allah ‘azza wa jall instructs you: And magnify Your Lord [Quran, 74:3]. Words to magnify Al-Kabeer, like the tahleel (laa ilaaha illAllah) tahmeed (Alhamdulillah), tasbeeh (subhanAllah) and takbeer (Allahu akbar), have great meanings; ponder their true meanings, increase in saying them and be careful not to misuse them.

4. Seek perfection at the source.
Don’t disappoint yourself by expecting others to be perfect and admiring those with wealth or status but no emaan. By admiring your Lord, by relying on and trusting in Al-Kabeer, The All-Great, The Source of Perfection, you will never be shocked or disappointed, even better you will be amazed by His enormous rewards for your little deeds.

5. Never be arrogant.
Guard yourself against arrogance (kibr). Never look down on others; you don’t know the rank they have with Al-Kabeer. Arrogance can also be found in how you deal with the commands of Allah. Look at the sin of Iblees; he refused to bow down due to arrogance. A good tip to keep you away from disobedience to the commands of Allah is that whenever you’re about to sin, look up and imagine Al-Kabeer watching you— would you dare to look up and say “no” to Him?

6. Strive for a high rank with Al-Kabeer.
Glorify Him alone and be humble in life in order to be great in the sight of Al-Kabeer. If Allah Al-Kabeer blessed you with being kabeer in this world in knowledge, job position, or any other skill, make others benefit and truly become kabeer to Him in the Hereafter.

7. Call upon Al-Kabeer.
Make dua using this name to ask Him to lead you to deeds pleasing to Him. There is no rank higher or achievement better than attainment of Allah’s good pleasure. It is as Al-Kabeer says: Verily, to Us will be their return; and then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. [Quran, 88:25-26] Always aim high in your supplications— ask Him for Jannatul Firdaws, the higest paradise, without reckoning.

8. Be proud of your Lord.
You shouldn’t be ashamed of Allah’s religion or divine commands. When you’re offered wine to drink, don’t apologize and make excuses like, “Sorry! I have a stomach ache.” You should proudly say, “I do not drink wine because it’s forbidden in my religion of Islam.” If you really believe that Allah is Al-Kabeer, you should be proud of your Lord in all situations, places, and company.

9. Feel your takbeer.
What is really akbar in your life? The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam taught you to say Allahu akbar at the start and during your whole salah. Whenever you say, or hear, Allahu Akbar in prayer or the adhaan (call to Prayer), know what it really means. Know that Al-Kabeer is far greater than anything that you could ever imagine or think of. When you raise your hands to start your prayer, imagine you’re throwing the whole world behind you and all is about Allahu akbar.

O Allah, Al-Kabeer, we know that Your Greatness is perfect and beyond our imaginations. Help us to reflect on Your greatness in order for us to stay close to Your commandments. Inspire us to magnify you in a proper way. Adorn us with pride in Islam, protect us from arrogance, and make us of those who attain the highest ranks with You in the Highest Paradise without reckoning, ameen!

something cool about the deities in tcol is that they have names derived from them that terraneans use sometimes. an example is kiba, who’s name is a derivative of the god of harvest, KIBARUM.

so that being said, here are some ocs in tcol who’s names come from deity names:

from MUINENS: miona, moira, muinena

from IIARAN: illiana, aran

from goodest boy Lath: luther

from IISIDIA: sid

from MIZDARR: daran

from EFFE: efelia

but there are more names that i’ve decided come from them that i just haven’t gotten around to using yet. so, in general so far some “common names” that come from deities:

m = masculine, f = feminine, gn = unisex

IIARAN: aran (m), illian (m) or illiana (f), ira (gn)

IISIDIA: sid (m), sia (f), sidia (f)

MIZDARR: miz (gn), dara (gn), daran (m)

MUINENS: muinena (f), nen or nena (gn), ina (f), inen (gn), moira or moina / miora or miona (f), mion (gn)

MIRANKA: mira (f), miran (m), ran (gn), ranka (gn)

YUTARA: yuta (gn), yu (gn), tara (f), taran (gn), tayu (m), yura (f)

YLENE: len (m), lene (f)

KIBARUM: kiba (m), kibaru (m), kibar (m)

KOST: koss (gn)

MARTH: mars (gn), art or arth or arty/artie (gn), mat (m)

BRULENE: bruno (gn), bree (f)

THE LADY OF THE MISTS: (based on her mortal name): ella (f), pine (m), nell (m) or nella (f),

EFFE: efelia (f)

the reason there’s so many derivatives is because it’s considered disrespectful to give someone the same name as someone else; they aren’t their own person that way. so even among family if you want to name someone in honor of someone a diminutive is usually taken.

for instance, let’s say you wanted to name your first child after your husband, jagoda (an actual character btw). you wouldn’t name your child “jagoda” you’d come up with a name derived from. so your child would probably be jag or daj or goda or dago or something like that :3

[inuzukaakibaa]

Rogue SSV Normandy

It was worth it. The video was worth every single credit he was going to spend to free Haru from her debts. Kiba could absolutely not believe his luck. He could kiss the woman in front of him. Her mask would get in the way and he was certain she would shoot him, at least, but the sentiment was there. 

“You are officially my favorite Quarian--no--my favorite sentient being in the universe. I could kiss you, I could marry--”

“Hate to break up this scandalizing proposal and everything, but we have a job to do, Commander,” Garrus cut in smoothly and Kiba let out a dramatic sigh. 

“I am so grateful I have you on my crew now Haru, do you see how they treat me? They never let me have any fun, they don’t enjoy my entrancing good looks or my hilarious jokes or my charming personality--”

“I’ll shoot you, I swear I will.” 

“Who said I enjoy any of those things?” 

Kiba glared at Wrex  and Haru both but nodded his assent to actually get the mission at hand started. They didn’t get very far. Chora’s Den was utterly crowded, and though Kiba was sure not everyone in here was an upstanding citizens, he wasn’t about to fire off into a crowd of people. 

“We could come back during business hours,” he offers but he is reluctant. This is a prime opportunity to get this nasty business out of the way and move onto more important matters. Like finding Saren. Like figuring out what that thing was on Eden Prime. 

Thankfully, Haru had a perfectly well-executed plan. She had been right in telling him she was valuable. Garrus was good at planning and tactics but he had no sense of spontaneity and Wrex was more of a battering ram than a soldier. Haru though...she was crafty. Intelligent. Downright scrappy. She balanced them out nicely. 

 “Handsome, eh? I knew you appreciated my charms!” 

Kiba immediately dove into action, his team a cohesive unit behind him. He spared no thoughts or bullets for Fist’s henchmen but interrogated Fist fully before pulling the trigger on him as well. As a soldier, he was perfectly used to killing. He wasn’t even a stranger to assassination, but he really didn’t have the stomach for it. 

He would be drinking about this later. 

“One obstacle down, and we got some useful information out of it. Haru, I’ll meet you bright and early tomorrow morning at the docking station and we can,” he paused and glanced to his squad mates. Kiba really didn’t want them knowing that she was essentially a labor slave to debt. He wasn’t sure why but he had a nagging feeling that they would maybe respect her less and he couldn’t have that. Besides, it was her information to tell. He clears his throat, “we can take care of the other thing I owe you.” 

--------------------

True to his word, Kiba was right on time the next morning--alone. “The boys are on standby if we encounter any...trouble, but I don’t think their presence will be necessary.” 

It didn’t go over exactly as he had hoped--the party in question was happy to be paid but Haru was incredibly valuable and they kept trying to wriggle their way out of their contract. Kiba wasn’t having it. 

“If you don’t honor the deal you signed I will have every lawyer at my considerable disposable breathing down your neck within the hour, if I’m feeling generous. If not, I’ll just shoot you and the contract will be void anyway. Or you can just cooperate. Up to you, really.”

It went better after that. 

“You’re a free woman, Haru. How does it feel? The Normandy is your home now, if you still want to join us. I hope you haven’t changed your mind.”

another au concept character (weapon drawn by my boyfriend), this time a less important character but still revelant. this is kibaru, the mother of raiburu and the chief of the gerudo. she, coming from (mysterious origin👀), took the place as chief and adopted riju, which allowed her to have her childhood back!

anyways, she's centuries old, but finally settled down with her kids as the powerful gerudo chief. she helps zelda as a mother-figure as well. more information on her and the au will be posted soon!

Al-Kabeer embraces all kinds of greatness, from rank, size, nobility, and knowledge to mercy, and it tells us that nothing was, is, or will ever be like Him!

Kabeer comes from the root kaaf-baa-raa, which points to three main meanings. The first is to be great in rank and nobility and the second to be great in size. The third main meaning is to be great in age and the fourth to be great in learning and knowledge. The fifth main meaning is to have rights above all others.

This root appears 161 times in the Quran in eighteen derived forms. Examples of these forms are kabura (“is great,” or “is difficult”), fakabbir (“magnify”), mutakabbireen (“the arrogant)”, akbaru (“greater”), kibaru (“old age”), and kubra, kabeer (“great”).

Linguistically, kibriyyah refers to the concept of greatness. One who is kabeer is someone great in rank or skill. Allah is Al-Kabeer—The All-Great and The Most Great; for each of His attributes He is the greatest.

Al-Kabeer Himself says: So the judgment is with Allah, the Most High, the Grand [Quran, 40:12], . . . because Allah is the Most High, the Grand [Quran, 22:62], and . . . Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand [Quran, 4:34].

Glorify Him alone and be humble in life in order to be great in the sight of Al-Kabeer. If Allah Al-Kabeer blessed you with being kabeer in this world in knowledge, job position, or any other skill, make others benefit and truly become kabeer to Him in the Hereafter.

7. Call upon Al-Kabeer.
Make dua using this name to ask Him to lead you to deeds pleasing to Him. There is no rank higher or achievement better than attainment of Allah’s good pleasure. It is as Al-Kabeer says: Verily, to Us will be their return; and then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. [Quran, 88:25-26] Always aim high in your supplications— ask Him for Jannatul Firdaws, the higest paradise, without reckoning.

8. Be proud of your Lord.
You shouldn’t be ashamed of Allah’s religion or divine commands. When you’re offered wine to drink, don’t apologize and make excuses like, “Sorry! I have a stomach ache.” You should proudly say, “I do not drink wine because it’s forbidden in my religion of Islam.” If you really believe that Allah is Al-Kabeer, you should be proud of your Lord in all situations, places, and company.

9. Feel your takbeer.
What is really akbar in your life? The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam taught you to say Allahu akbar at the start and during your whole salah. Whenever you say, or hear, Allahu Akbar in prayer or the adhaan (call to Prayer), know what it really means. Know that Al-Kabeer is far greater than anything that you could ever imagine or think of. When you raise your hands to start your prayer, imagine you’re throwing the whole world behind you and all is about Allahu akbar.

O Allah, Al-Kabeer, we know that Your Greatness is perfect and beyond our imaginations. Help us to reflect on Your greatness in order for us to stay close to Your commandments. Inspire us to magnify you in a proper way. Adorn us with pride in Islam, protect us from arrogance, and make us of those who attain the highest ranks with You in the Highest Paradise without reckoning, ameen!

Faedah Hadits Hari ini:

DOSA KECIL PENYEBAB ADZAB KUBUR

عن عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: مر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بقبرين فقال: “إنهما ليعذبان وما يعذبان في كبير أما أحدهما: فكان لا يستتر من البول وأما الآخر: فكان يمشي بالنميمة”, فأخذ جريدة رطبة فشقها نصفين فغرز في كل قبر واحدة فقالوا: يا رسول الله لم فعلت هذا؟ قال: “لعله يخفف عنهما ما لم ييبسا”.' رواه البخاري و مسلم

Dari Ibnu ‘Abbas -roḍhiyalloohu 'anhu-, Ia Berkata: “Rosuululloohu -shollalloohu ‘alaihi wa sallam- Lewat Di Dekat Dua Kuburan, Lalu Beliau Bersabda: “Sesungguhnya Keduanya Sedang Disiksa, Dan Keduanya Disiksa Bukan Karena Dosa Besar. Yang Satu Disiksa Karena Tidak Bersuci Setelah Kencing, Sementara Yang Satunya Suka Mengadu Domba.” Kemudian Beliau Mengambil Sebatang Dahan Kurma Yang Masih Basah, Beliau Membelahnya Menjadi Dua Bagian, Kemudian Menancapkannya Pada Masing-masing Kuburan Tersebut. Para Sahabat pun Bertanya, “Wahai Rosuulallooh, Kenapa Engkau Melakukan Ini?” Beliau Menjawab: “Semoga Siksa Keduanya Duringankan Selama Batang Pohon Ini Masih Basah.”[Bukhori 216, 6055 dan Muslim 2028]

Perawi Hadits:

Abdullooh bin Abbas bin Abdul Mutholib bin Hasyim bin Abdi Manaf Abul Abbas Al-Qurosyi Al-Hasyimi Al-Makky, Salah Seorang dari Kibarus Shohabah dalam hal Keilmuan dijuluki dengan ‘Tinta dan lautan’ sebagai perumpamaan Betapa Luas Ilmu Yang Dia Miliki. Wafat pada Tahun 68 H ada yang meriwayatkan Umurnya 72 Tahun sedang ada pula sebagian yang lain meriwayatkan 71 Tahun, di Kota Thoif.[2]

Penjelasan Beberapa Kata:

1. “إنهما ليعذبان” :

maksudnya Diadzab di Dalam Kedua Kuburnya, penyebutan ism mahall menunjukkan kondisi di dalamnya.

2. “لا يستتر من البول” :

dengan menggunakan 2 ta’ yang berarti Tidak Mau Mencari Penutup/Penghindar yang menghalanginya dari Air Kencingnya dan di lain riwayat “لا يستبرئ “ atau Tidak Terbebas.

3. “يمشى بالنميمة” :

Membicarakan Orang Lain Dengan Maksud dan Tujuan Merusak atau Membahayakan.

4. “فأخذ جريدة” :

Bagian Luar Pohon Kurma Yang Tidak Ada Pelepahnya (Batang).

5. “فغرز” :

dengan menggunakan huruf za’ dan dalam riwayat Imam Muslim menggunakan huruf siin س : غرس. Berkata Abu Mas’ud : ”Tempat Menancapkannya Tepat di Atas Kepala, (riwayat) ini ditetapkan dengan isnad shohih”.

Makna Hadits Secara Global:

Rosuululloohu -shollalloohu'alaihi wa sallam- Suatu Ketika Bersama Beberapa Shohabat -rodliyalloohu 'anhum- Melewati Dua Buah Kuburan kemudian Alloohu Ta'aalaa Menyingkap Untuknya tentang Kondisi Dua Kuburan Tersebut maka Beliau -shollalloohu'alaihi 'alaihi wa sallam- pun Melihat bahwa Kedua Penghuninnya Sedang Diadzab. Lalu Beliau -shollalloohu'alaihi wa sallam- kemudian Mengabari Para Shohabat Yang Bersamanya Tentang Hal Itu Sebagai Bentuk Peringatan dan Untuk Menakut-nakuti Umatnya karena Sesungguhnya Kedua Penghuni Kubur Itu Diadzab Hanya Sebab Dosa Kecil Yang Dikerjakannya.

Maka salah satu yang diadzab disebabkan Dia tidak berhati-hati agar terhindar dari Kencingnya ketika Dia buang Hajat dan karena Dia sengaja tidak mau menjaga darinya sehingga Dia terkena najisnya yang mencemari/mengenai Badan dan Pakaiannya.

Sedangkan yang lain, Setan(dari golongan Manusia) yang berusaha Mengadu Domba di antara Manusia hingga menyebabkan Permusuhan dan Kebencian di antara Mereka bahkan sesama Kerabat dan Sahabat. Di Sa'at mendatangi Fulan Dia mengatakan hal ini itu dan ketika mendatangi yang lain Dia mengatakan hal ini itu yang lain juga maka aterciptalah Perselisihan di antara Mereka dan Terputuslah Hubungan Silaturrohim.

Dan Islam sesungguhnya Datang dengan membawa Rasa Cinta dan Kelembutan di antara Manusia serta Menghapus berbagai Perselisihan juga Permusuhan. Sehingga Nabi-shollalloohu'alaihi wa sallam- yang sangat penuh dengan Rasa Kasih Sayang Tertundukkan oleh Perasaan Iba dan Simpati kepada kedua Ahli Kubur tersebut lalu Beliau-shollalloohu'alaihi wa sallam- kemudian Mengambil sebuah Batang Kurma yang masih Basah kemudian Dibelah menjadi Dua dan Ditancapkan di Setiap Kuburan itu.

Pelajaran Dari Hadits:

1. Ketetapan Adanya Adzab Kubur sebagaimana yang telah masyhur keterangan adanya, dan inilah madzhab kebanyakan Imam.

2. Tidak Terhindar/Terbebas Dari Perkara Najis termasuk Penyebab Adzab (Kubur), maka menjadi wajiblah membersihkan segala sesuatu dari Perkara Najis sebagaimana yang ditunjukkan Hadits tersebut, bahwasanya Air Kencing terutama menyangkut dengan Adzab Kubur sangat mempunyai kekhususan tersendiri dalam menyebabkan Adzab itu sendiri.

Dan untuk menguatkan hal ini seperti apa yang diriwayatkan oleh Hakim beserta Ibnu Huzaimah, “Kebanyakan dari Adzab Kubur adalah Karena Air Kencing” berkata Ibnu Hajar dalam menanggapi riwayat ini: ”riwayat tersebut adalah shohih isnad”.

3. Haramnya Berbuat Namimah diantara Manusia yang dengan itu juga menjadi salah satu sebab Adzab Kubur.

4. Rohmat (Kasih Sayang) Nabi -shollalloohu'alaihi wa sallam- kepada Para Shohabatnya -roḍhiyalloohu 'anhum- dan Kesungguhan Beliau untuk Menjauhkan Segala Keburukan darinya.

5. Menutupi Dosa-dosa dan A'ib-a’ib (sesama Muslim) karena Beliau -shollalloohu'alaihi wa sallam- Tidaklah Menyebut Nama Kedua Penghuni Kubur Tersebut .

6. Perkataannya Nabi -shollalloohu'alaihi wa sallam- : ”Dan Keduanya Disiksa Bukan Karena Dosa Besar” maksudnya bukan karena dosa besar yang dilakukan akan tetapi kalaulah Dia bisa meninggalkan Namimah dan Menjaga Dari Air Kencingnya maka hal ini bukanlah termasuk Perkara yang sulit ataupun memberatkan, dan (yang perlu digaris bawahi) diberatkanya Adzab keduanya karena mana kala perbuatan yang Mereka lakukan bisa mendatangkan Kerusakan dan Madhorot.

والله تعالى أعلم بالصواب،

والحمد لله رب العالمين.
