The Prophet Alayhi used leather and requested a drink of milk to interact with a young Sahaba woman named Miss Ruth, who was supposed to receive a drink of water. The dressing of milk was seen as a sign of respect for the Prophet, who used leather and eventually gave it to the Church. The importance of learning from the Prophet's life is emphasized, including his ability to deal with people and his desire to be people who are easygoing and do not have negative comments. The need to be people who are integrity and honesty is emphasized, as well as the importance of being mindful of our own actions.

			regime yeah you hola Nina. La haka Ducati 111. To Simone papalia Latina, la Hulu Colin sadita you
say hola como la como la comme de novo la hora de la casa de Hosanna Lima, Ubud. I want to share
with you today, a small story of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, and his interaction with a young
Sahabi. His interaction with Abdullah even was rude on the lower end who, but this is before the law
became Muslim. And in fact, this is the reason why he accepted Islam. If you don't know who Abdullah
is, he is one of the greatest of the Sahaba among the top Sahaba right after the Asha and
machineable agenda right after the first year of the Sahaba who were promised paradise he is right
		
00:01:13 --> 00:02:02
			there. in that category. He was one of the earliest to accept Islam. He was there for all the
battles with the prophets of Salaam migrated from Makkah to hamartia. they migrated from Mecca to
Medina, Robbie Lamont, who and lived on to be one of the greatest scholars of Islam. In fact, it is
the the fifth hanafy in the fifth of Abu hanifa is a is inspired largely by the opinions and by the
thinking of the lovingness rhodotorula. One who saw his fingerprints are all over the way we
practice Islam. But I want to talk about how he started, how he or the other one who got started
with his Islam. he narrates himself what happened in what in the Hadith that's mentioned in the
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			Muslim of Iran, Bahamas and other places. He says good to
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:42
			me, the Navy marine for j and B use of the law while he was working for Amina Machina for call a
yahoo.com. In Lebanon fortress Tiana, he mentioned that I was a young men. And I used to be the
shepherd for a person by the name of Earth what it meant to be more real. And this, the shepherds
would take the flock outside of Makkah to the pastures around the city, many different pastures. And
that's where they would graze their sheep, the camel and whatnot.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:06
			So Abdullah is doing this. And as he's doing this, the prophets also elemental workers to the the
step out of Makkah. And they are now in this place where Abdullah is the ask of the prophets are
some acts of law? He says, oh, young man, do you have some milk that you can give us for a drink?
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:51
			This is the customs of the Arabs. The customs of the Arabs is that when someone asks you for a
drink, you give them a drink. If someone asks you for a meal, you give them a meal. This is the
customs of the time it's not a strange request. Even in like some states in America, for example,
like in the south, if you go to a restaurant and ask for a glass of water in a hot summer day, they
can refuse you a glass of water because it's a it could become a hazard. So it's back in the day
particularly wasn't a law but it was customs for the people you give your guests or you give the
word who was asking the bare minimum which is a glass of water, a glass of milk. And in fact even in

			photocopy find the massage table when they went to the town
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:22
			for Alameda, Houma, the town did not host them and give them even a single meal. And that was
considered to be extremely unpleasant. These were really really stingy, unpleasant people. And that
was how this was the reason why they were considered as such. So this is a very, very standard
request from the prophets of Salaam. Can you give us a drink of milk? Abdullah when Miss Ruth
replies
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:45
			to an Indian Waterman was to St. Kuma. He says I am entrusted with the sheep and I'm not going to
give you a drink. What he's saying is that I don't know if my employer will allow me to give you a
glass of milk. The father slumps up to him Hello in the coming Jatin lemons.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:58
			He says Do you have a sheep or goat that does not give milk its order has dried. Okay, meaning that
it doesn't produce it doesn't lactate and give milk
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:23
			Other lessons Yes. And he brings a sheep that does not produce milk meaning it's not that it had
milk or right now is having a lien patch it doesn't produce milk at all. Okay and this is the very
important part does not produce milk at all for Tanaka hanabusa La La Jolla, Lavasa da da da for

			la sala. Avila describes he says, The Messenger of Allah saw some Pettit the the neck of the of the
goat. And then he headed the other or the other of this goat and made dua. And as he finishes to the
other of this goat that does not produce milk, became full of milk.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:42
			And a worker brought in a container, the profit solem milk this goat and gave the milk to a worker
Sadiq who drank then he gave it to Abdullah who drank and then the faucet himself drained from this
container. And this was the story. And after this after loading the sewage comes to the porcelain,
and he accepted the slab, very, very small glimpse into the life of the prophets of Salaam. But many
lessons we can learn from this incident, and I'll share with you just two for the sake of brevity.
Lesson number one is the beautiful matters of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and how he
would deal with people. And this is important for us, because we don't know we don't see him. We
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:58
			haven't seen him. So we don't know what we're missing out on. This is the only way we can learn by
really studying his life, and the small small instances of his interactions with people, that's when
we actually get to see what he was like day to day, the loss of them.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:44
			And that is when we would realize how incredible he was as a person. Here you have the properties of
asking for something that is standard practice, can I have a glass of milk or glass of water? And
I'm below being a young man denies in that says no, I'm not gonna give it to you. The Prophet is not
going to let the confrontation without the law, hey, do you know who I am, I am the son of the
Apollo. My grandfather was this and I have Roboto harsher than I am and I am nothing, the officer
did not bring out his credentials. You see, to get what he wanted. He didn't regard his credentials
to win an argument. He didn't even get into an argument. Because that was the whole of the prophet
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			SAW. That's how he was.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:18
			That's a very important lesson for us. That we as people who aspire to be like the prophets, or some
of them, we have to be people who are easygoing people. It's not always about winning every single
conversation that you have. It's not about your credentials at all times. It's not about those
things, those things aren't the most important things in life, or people will remember us for our
the way we treated them.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:41
			You see how the prophets have treated the beloved this route, it changed his life. He became a
Muslim, and became a Muslim became one of the greatest Muslims of all time. And the way we interview
practices lab largely is affected by his understanding. The way we read Quran is transmitted
throughout the law.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:09:20
			But the change that the the the agent of change was not the prophet SAW his beautiful skills of
debate of his amazing ability to convince somebody it was this matters. It was how we dealt with
this man. And that's why he became Muslim. Every Converse people that who are new Muslims, and you
know, I have the privilege of meeting them, then the honor of meeting them. The vast majority of
them accept Islam because the doctor was a Muslim, and they treated them really well. Or their
friend was a Muslim, and they found the children really well.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:36
			And that beautiful treatment is what inspired them to learn about the faith and then accept Islam.
That is the first lesson brother sisters, for all of us that take to heart that our character our
manners inspire.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:10:00
			They have the potential to inspire people, and this is who he was Salaam Salaam and we need to try
to be mindful of that and try to rub the heat that the second thing that I'd like to point out is
the profit or loss on GM said tr o COVID Islami koufonisia helia is off to the best of you before
Islam or the best of you, after they've accepted Islam. If they
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:13
			understood the meaning of there is good qualities of Islam and good qualities that they had before.
And they carry them over into Islam that would the Islam would make that good quality, elevated and
even better.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:11:06
			You see, Abdullah Massoud has, what quality. He had the quality of integrity. He was an honest man,
maybe a little bit too honest to the point where he is honest to a fault. He's actually doing
something that's against the customs, the people, but he is 100% honest, you could trust this man
with your property. You can trust him with what is valuable. And he wouldn't let you down. He would
treat people like with like when he said in the motorman. He is treating the prophets as a little
behind the back of his employer, as if he will treat the prophet SAW in front of his employer.
That's integrity. That's honesty. That's a universal characteristic that is, you know, applaudable.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			And that's something that we shouldn't aspire to.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:42
			It's universal, universally liked this characteristic, of being a person of integrity and honesty.
And the opposite is universally disliked. Being a cheater, being dishonest, being someone who says
one thing and does the other, makes someone who treats people one way in front of them and speaks
about them. Another way behind the back. These are universally disliked characteristics. Nobody like
this person of the world was really had this. And when he became Muslim, that good became even
better.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:12:09
			The integrity that he had. You think of that you think of the Prophet Salam. He was called a solid
purple. I mean, the truthful, the honest. before he even preached a word of Islam. That was sisters
is a lesson for us. The integrity for us is non negotiable. We have to be people of integrity and
honesty, full of others my own stuff along the way. Leo saphira in
