Book of Divorce (at-Talaq)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) performed the Tawaf (around the Ka`ba while riding his camel, and every time he reached the corner (of the Black Stone) he pointed at it with his hand and said, “Allahu Akbar.” (Zainab said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this and this,” forming the number 90 (with his thumb and index finger).”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ طَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ، وَكَانَ كُلَّمَا أَتَى عَلَى الرُّكْنِ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ، وَكَبَّرَ.
وَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ فُتِحَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ ”. وَعَقَدَ تِسْعِينَ
Sahih al-Bukhari 5293
NOTE 📝
1. Imam al-Bukhari collected this hadith under the chapter heading “The regulations concerning the property and family of a lost person.” Shaykh Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen explained while commenting on this hadith that this passage explains how gestures (الإشارة) can serve in place of spoken words in certain situations, including divorce and other rulings. He clarified that الإشارة here means using the hand, head, or eyes, not advice or consultation, and discussed how it can stand in for verbal speech in Shari‘ah contexts. For example, the Prophet ﷺ pointed to his tongue to clarify that Allah does not punish for tears but for what the tongue says, showing how a gesture can replace explicit words. – Sharh Kitab at-Talaq, Sahih al-Bukhari,Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen
2. The also stated that examples show how the Prophet ﷺ used gestures practically. E.g. Ka‘b ibn Malik said the Prophet ﷺ gestured to him to take half; Asma’ described how ‘A’ishah gestured with her head during prayer to explain the solar eclipse; and Anas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ gestured to Abu Bakr to lead the prayer. These cases show that gestures carried clear meaning and could communicate effectively without breaking other rulings, like maintaining the validity of prayer when words are not spoken. – Sharh Kitab at-Talaq, Sahih al-Bukhari,Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen
3. Finally, the Shaykh explained further instances, like Ibn ‘Abbas’s report that the Prophet ﷺ gestured that something was not harmful, and Abu Qatadah’s narration where the Prophet ﷺ clarified that merely gesturing at game did not make it unlawful for a pilgrim. These examples show that gestures can clarify, direct, and even permit actions without needing speech, highlighting how Islamic rulings accommodate practical communication when words may not be possible or appropriate. – Sharh Kitab at-Talaq, Sahih al-Bukhari,Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen

اللهم يا رب العالمين، يا مقلب القلوب، يا عالم الغيب،
في هذا اليوم المبارك، جمعة آخر شهر المحرم، نرفع إليك أكفّ الرجاء والشكر.
يا رب، لك الحمد أن بلّغتنا بداية عام هجري جديد، فطهّر قلوبنا من الكبر والحسد والغفلة. واجعل نيتنا خالصة، وبارك لنا في أوقاتنا، وأنر قلوبنا بنور الإيمان.
احفظنا من كل شر — ظاهراً وباطناً — واغفر لنا ذنوبنا الماضية، واهدنا إلى سواء السبيل.
اللهم بارك في أهلينا، وثبّت إيماننا، واجعل هذا العام لنا عام خير وطاعة وتقوى.
بدّل مخاوفنا بتوكل، وشدائدنا بفرج، وسكوتنا بذكرك.
اللهم لا تدع هذا الشهر الحرام ينقضي إلا وقد كتبتنا من المرحومين، المغفور لهم، والمقربين إليك.
آمين.
