Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Add Water and Share Your Neighbour (Hadith Commentary from Zad alTalibin)

The next hadith is very similar in to do with Coco called Eva. The

next hadith is very similar to do with her culinary. But it's to do

with again, considering somebody else's feelings. And

specifically, if you've got somebody who's related to you then

because you feel that you're bound to them through blood relationship

and kinship, you're probably going to do more than you would do for a

neighbor that's not related to you. That's why look at what the

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is saying. He's saying that

either Tabatha Mara cotton

for akhira ma what the ad G ironic

when you prepare some broth or soup, meaning when you prepare a

dish at home, right. Now, when you prepare a dish at home, there's

certain ingredients that go into it.

And normally, you buy things according to what your family

needs. Sometimes, if you're not very well off, then you have to do

everything according to a certain measure. The solids especially

water is quite abundant most of the time, except in places where

there's drought and so on. But what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

wa sallam is saying when you prepare some broth or soup, add

more water and be thoughtful of your neighbor. So saying that

we're not going to force you that you have to buy another two

kilograms or two pounds of

meat, you know, the best cuts, and you have to give that to your, you

know, you have to cook spare ribs. And you know, you have to, you

have to cook all these T bone steaks and stuff like that for

your neighbors, of course, if that's what your business you're

in, or if that's what you do. And if that's what you know, you have

the ability to you can do that. But this is saying that even if

you're just cooking a few bones and you're making some soup, you

know, bones with soup, you know, chicken soup, or something like

that, you don't have enough, that's fine, just so that you

could be considerate of your neighbor and show a sense of

goodwill, and create greater harmony and peace and

understanding and love between yourselves.

Increase the water, make it more watery, and give them some.

Obviously, it's not saying do that, in the sense that if you've

got the ability to give them a proper dish, so don't become

literalist here, and go to your neighbors and say, and give them

you know, colored colored water, soup, water, right and say, This

is what it says in the Hadith. It's saying that as a last resort,

it's saying that as a last resort, that if you can't do anything,

then at least do this and be considerate of them. And this

doesn't matter whether you got Muslims or non Muslim neighbors.

This is just neighbors because whether you've got non Muslim or

Muslims, you're living next to them. And there is a certain rate

that has to be observed with that.

This is not to say that you have to give it every day. Because

imagine if you had to share food every day,

you probably have to throw out a lot eventually. Because if every

family were sharing every day, then it would be an issue you

usually once every two weeks, three weeks, whatever, something

like that if you've got cooked something special, cook a bit

extra, be a bit thoughtful and gone give them some

don't give it the next day after when you think we've you know

cooked a lot we've eaten today. And tomorrow it's going to be kind

of stale. Now. You know when I'm gonna eat this for days and days,

let's give some to the neighbor right now. That should not be the

way to do it. Not that you can't do it, but I mean it should not be

the way that we look at this. We look at this from the perspective

that we do it from the beginning so we give it to them fresh
