Aashiq Hill – Hadith 33 A Small Pot Containing Some Water Suffices

My beloved brothers and sisters in Al Islam.

Beloved brothers and sisters in in Al Islam,

I welcome each and every one of you

to our series dealing with the 40 hadith

on the seerah, the life and times of

our beloved

messenger Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam. In this

hadith, hadith number 33,

narrated on the authority of the well known

companion Jabir bin Abdullah radiAllahu ta'ala an. He

said,

In the Hudaybi,

event or treaty

or expedition,

the Sahaba

became thirsty. They were thirsty. When Nabiya salallahu

alaihi wa sallam

the

prophet had in front of him a small

utensil,

and he took

the people all rushed towards the prophet and

he asked them,

what is the matter with you?

They said, yeah, Rasulullah.

We don't have any water number 1 for

udur. Number 2,

nor can we find any water to drink.

Remember beloved brothers and sisters, this is the

Arabian Peninsula. This is the desert subhanallah. We've

got no water for and we've got no

water to drink. We are thirsty.

Oh messenger Muhammad only this in front of

you. We only have recourse to that. We

only have that.

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He placed

his hand in the small vessel.

And such a miracle happened.

Water started gushing from the fingers of the

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

As the sahaba said,

like how a spring,

a flowing spring gushed,

out of the earth. That's how the water

gushed out of the hands of the messenger

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The Sahab and Jabid

said,

we took

and we quenched our thirst with this water.

I said, I said,

how many

of you were there on that day?

He

said,

if we were 100,000

people,

that water would have been enough.

We were 1,500

people.

Subhanallah.

The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Subhanallah. He was

barakah. He was blessings.

The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam places his hands

into a utensil which is very small

and he suffices

1,500

people. Wallahi, this is one of the miracles

of the messenger salallahu alaihi wasalam.

Number 2, we learn from this, the love

and the overwhelming love that the Sahaba had

for the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. They

wanted to use the surplus water of the

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The prophet fathallahu

alaihi took and the Sahaba ran towards

Mirasulullah,

we need that water.

And this shows the love and we have

so many ahadith

describing

how the prophet how the sahaba were in

regards to the aza and

the traces of the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam. With it was the hair of the

prophet. With it was the urine of the

prophet. With it was the water of the

prophet. The oh, the leftover water of the

prophet. With it was the blood of the

prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam. The Sahaba used

to hasten to get these aza from the

prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam. The wives of

the prophet would take his cloak off his

demise, put it in water and wash wash

themselves

as a shifa,

as a means of cure, subhanAllah,

for them. So from this we learned that

the aza of the messenger, salallahu alaihi wa

sallam definitely contain Barakah.

But

but

ascertaining the things that we have today, the

hair that people claim to be of the

messenger, is it his hair? We don't know.

That water that someone has stored away, is

it the water of the prophet salallahu alaihi

wa sallam? We don't know. That cloak that

someone has and claims it to be the

messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam, does it belong

to him? Allahu a'lam, Allah knows best. But

from these ahadith we learn that everything that

emanated from the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam

was barakah. His message calling people to Allah

to hid was barakah. His athar, his bodily

effects, his sweat, everything that emanated from his

body was baqa. SubhanAllah.

And the Sahab realized this and they hasten

to benefit from these baqa. May Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala grant us the love of the

messengers salallahu alayhi wa sallam and may Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us the barakah of

the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. We might not

be able to benefit from the physical atha

of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, but we

barakah, we we are blessed and we receive

blessings from his life, his ways and his

mannerisms.
