Sleeman Kathira on Eli Yomi Dean Amma Bard,
Allah subhanho wa Taala has
granted us the
or guided us towards
studying and reading through these, a hadith, which are a
description of the personality and the profile and the various
different characteristics of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
salam
This is considered a very blessed work, which Imam did maybe was
guided towards to compile it from the Hadith.
So it's not somebody's
dream, the the things that are mentioned here are eyewitness
accounts.
It's not a profiling that's been done many years afterwards, many
hundreds of years afterwards, based on different
details or anecdotal evidence. But these are direct descriptions by
people who stayed with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam very
closely intermingled with him, saw him from up close, many of that
hadith and in here, especially you will see that UNASUR, the Allahu
anhu, who stayed with him from the age of 10 for 10 years. So from a
young from being a young boy, he grew up in the company of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, while being of service
to Him. Another Narita here is Abu Huraira the hola Juan that the few
years that he did spend with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was absolutely totally dedicated to him. And that's all
his job was a 24 hour student ready to study whenever ready to
take down notes and to record and memorize.
Then there was Abdullah Hypno Abbas of the Allah one who was
such an avid
seeker of knowledge, and especially, to see what the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam did and thus one of his aunt's was
his aunt was the wife of Rasulullah sallallahu, Ala Moana
the Allah Juana actually requested can I spend the night in the room?
To see how Rasulullah sallallahu Psalms worshipers? So we've got
narrator's like him who are describing it who've gone to that
level, to even spend a night in that room to see what Rasulullah
sallallahu was doing. So as I said, these are these descriptions
and the details that are provided here are eyewitness accounts. And
then, for instance, in the first chapter, one of the most
comprehensive narration there that speak about the how Rasulullah
sallallahu Allison's appearance was and what he looked like
that is from that is from Ali rhodiola, one
who was again related, and so was Abdullah ignore bacilli Allahu
Anhu related and you'll see you'll see that these are all eyewitness
accounts
and they recorded at that time and then conveyed to the others and
then they've been conveyed to us through authentic chains of
narration
Imam Timothy who collected his a hadith together
we're not doing personality worship here, but we owe a lot to
Imam did me the as I mentioned last time, that he collected these
Hadith together as that he was a student of Imam Bukhari and Imam
Muslim. He was from originally from Tehran with a small area
called move, which is by Timothy misses the large city, then will
still exist today. It's in Uzbekistan. Then with Bahara
samarqand Tashkent. All of these are cities within was current date
was Becca, Stan.
Imam, Timothy was known for his memory and you had to be four to
become a prominent Hadith scholar compiler. Those have come down to
us it doesn't mean everybody in that time had such a
great memory. But Imam Tirmidhi was definitely one of those who
had that that even at the end, when he had lost his sight, he
still remembered from other clues where certain things were and thus
when he entered into a city that he had visited earlier on when he
was able to see when he came towards the entrance he to that
city, he ducked down and although he was writing a duck down and
somebody said, Why are you doing this? He said, Isn't there a
branch and overhanging branch? I remember when I came here this
many years ago, there used to be this overhanging branch and we had
to duck down to go on
beneath it, and he said, No, he wasn't there. But then when when
they made some inquiries, they discovered that that had been the
case. That was the kind of memory you need. Now, some of you who are
younger and who are able to remember things, not everybody is
able to remember details. But there are people, mashallah, who
can remember great details, you will notice that as you age, when
you get to 35 4050, people do start missing things unless you
are refreshing your memory of things.
Now, what happens with memory normally is that things that
you've memorized or learn tore noted,
in the memory of your heart or mind, at a young age, those things
actually retain very strongly, but things that you've newly acquired,
they do not stay, and SubhanAllah. In our time, we've got a lot of
extended memory, possibilities of extending memory. And that's why
our memories are probably even more weaker. And the reason is
that do we memorize phone numbers anymore? No, we use an extended
memory of our phone. And thus, everything's there at the touch of
a button. So now, that pressure is not on our mind, on our brain to
memorize it, because we use a lot of extended memory. Do we retain a
lot of information now we think it's going to the lecture is going
to be recorded, it's going to be put up somewhere, I'll go and
check it out when I have to. So we don't feel the need to remember
things as much.
Right? If it's in a book the book is published will think well, do I
really need to remember that sit down and remember it? No, I can go
and look at it again.
So we use a lot of extended memory. That's the way things are
nowadays, there's hardly a culture of memorizing things. And thus for
us to look disbelievingly at the people of the past and how they
would retain things. It we should not underestimate it because our
circumstance and their circumstance we're different.
We're human beings as well. Of course, there's the Tofik of Allah
subhanaw taala. But we could also do this if we were to really, or
at least there would be individuals today that could still
do the same thing.
With the topic of Allah subhanaw taala Imam Tirmidhi wrote a number
of other works his work is one of the
six
canonical
compilations of Hadith the famous six what they call a Sahara
sitter, right as a sitter, the six authentic collections is normally
comes at number four. Well Heidi sahih al Bukhari Sahih Muslim, so
Abby doubt,
comes third. Normally, there will be some difference of opinion
between Abu Dawood and Tirmidhi. But most li Sunon A B doubt is
considered. Third, and certainly the Jeremy attend maybe comes
number four, followed by some necessity and Hypno merger. May
Allah bless them all. Imam Tirmidhi passed away in 279 Hijiri
279 Hijiri it's important for us to mention him and know him so at
least we can say Rahim Allah, may Allah have mercy on him.
This book is just such a Mubarak work such a blessed work.
And the more I read into it, the more I look around and see the
different commentaries and what people have written.
It's
I have to say it's purely by the topic of Allah subhanaw taala that
Allah inspired us to even do this work. Otherwise, there were there
were hundreds of other possibilities of things that we
could have covered.
But this one, look at how you might one one point that has been
noted by many of the commentators, Imam Ted Milley starts this work
in Babu magia of the hulky Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam chapter on the outward appearance
of Rasulullah sallallahu his outward profile.
And the last chapter there are three. The last three chapters are
the chapter on the demise of Rasulullah sallallahu, his
departing from this world. Number two, the chapter on his legacy,
what he's left behind. And number three, most importantly, chapter
on seeing Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam while
you're asleep in your dream.
And that's very interesting that he starts his book with an outward
profile
and then ends the book with a view that if you want to see him you
can if Allah subhanaw taala so wills because there are sahih
Hadith that tells you that it's a possibility.
And our deen is based on the things that we have authentically
received from Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and one of one
of those narrations is that you will, whoever sees me
has seen the truth. Whoever sees me in their dream has seen the
truth.
And based on this one scholar who's still alive I just heard
Let him say, he has taught this book over 10 times around the
world, in America, in Europe, in the Arab world. And every single
time, this is what he says, This is what the author, this is what
the, the teacher himself is saying the scholar the ILM,
every single time when I finished, it may be as Imam Timothy had
intended, that we'll start off from the outer appearance, because
that's what you normally see first from someone. And then you get to
know them when you live with them. And thus, you start to find out
how they do things. Then you see how they walk, you see how they
speak to people. And then eventually you find out how they,
how they eat, what their preferences are, what kind of
foods they like, what they may dislike, what how they like to
sleep, how they like to rest, how they like to sit, and so how they
interact with others, and so on and so forth. And then when
they've left this world, is there a possibility for you to see him
and the fact that Imam Tirmidhi has put that chapter at the end,
and collected that hadith together that speak about seeing Rasulullah
sallallahu in the dream, at the end, seems to be an indication
that
I am giving you the recipe for doing this. I'm giving you the way
of maybe being able to see Rasulullah after you've read all
of these things, and you've come to learn of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam you've come to now recognize Him, love Him,
understand him now a lot more than you did. But he's not here
anymore. He's departed this world. And he's gone. And as people used
to come to the Sahaba, Abdullah, who neuromotor the unrelated says
that somebody came to me and said, I wish I could see Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam? And he said, Well, what would you do if
you could see him, he said, I would have kissed him on his
forehead. So now it's being mentioned that though he's left,
but he's such a mercy for mankind.
He is such a mercy for the universe, and specifically for the
human beings whom he has probably the greatest connection with, that
he said that if you see me in my dream, then it is as though you
have seen me alive, as what the Prophet sallallahu sallam said.
So,
in sha Allah, the reading of this book will not be in vain. And we
ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us a floss, sincerity in reading,
in studying
and that the desired benefits of studying such a work are attained
by us, and that they inspire us and they enhance our life. The
thing is that whenever
you want to understand something, whenever you want to love
something,
people today when they want to promote something, they normally
tell you details about it, they have interviews about it, they
will do interviews, they will provide you detail, you've bought
the packet of cereal, but on the back on the side, it will tell you
the benefits of the cereal. If you eat such a bowl a day or even in
the night, you can even do it hot or cold. This is the kind of
vitamins of vitamins you would get in the minerals you'd get and this
the nourishment you'd get, and so on and so forth. The more you know
about it, the more you get hooked on to this.
For you to love something you need to know more detail about it. The
initial infatuation you have with someone is just an infatuation. It
could be a fleeting infatuation. That's why most people say that
love before marriage is normally infatuation, and not real love,
because you haven't really understood every aspect of them.
All you've seen is the outer form, maybe a sound, maybe soft words,
you know, maybe some nice writing, maybe some nice clothing, maybe
some nice features, but that's all you've seen. Now, if Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is somebody to be followed and
emulated for us and love and loved and his love is a condition
condition for our entry into Jannah. And for Allah subhanho wa
Taala loving us, then
clearly, we need to know more about him.
We need to know more about him. And what better than a collection
that puts all of those relevant details together in one place.
May Allah bless the author that he's been able to collect this
together that we can inshallah read it like that.
There are two things one is there is what you call a natural love.
The natural love is something that is in your heart for something or
someone without you being able to do anything about it.
For example, among all of your friends will be someone one of
them who you just naturally inclined more towards than another
than others among your children, they'll just be one that you might
naturally just love a bit more than others, or have just
inclination towards for some reason than the other
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam used to treat equally all of his wives,
all that no matter what meaning but there was a natural love that
was just a bit more for it shot of the Allahu Allah.
That's natural love.
Then what there is what you call intellectual love, if we can call
it such a thing. And what that means is, when you know that there
is benefit in something, it is useful for you to be close to
something and love something, then you make yourself love that thing,
even though naturally you find it difficult
or to increase your love. And nobody here can say they don't
love Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. So I think what we're speaking
about here is increasing that love increasing that love such that it
becomes more than our love for anything else. Because again in
the sahih Hadith, rasool Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
that none of you can be perfect believers or believers. Now you
may not have had the Hakuna hubba ie Murni he mean Nipsey murderer
he will well in the UNSC Ultramarine none of you can be
perfect believers until I become more beloved to them than their
wealth and their family and themselves. Amara, the Allah was
very honest. He turned around, he said,
you're more beloved to me than my wealth and my friends, but not
more than myself.
I love myself more than I love you. So the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, then
it's not there yet. And what are the turned around for a while?
And he turned back and he said, now I can say I love you. What
happened to him? Clearly, there was some attention given to him by
Rasulullah sallallahu Nabokov, Rasulullah sallallahu. From there,
his desiring for them to change, Amara deal and contemplating the
matter, thinking about it, intellectually, we could probably
say intellectually thinking about it. And then he turned around and
he said, No, I love you more than I love myself. And then the
prophets of Allah, some said, I'll earn a year Omar. Now. Now, you
have reached that stage.
Now you've reached that stage. So intellectual love, you hate
medicine. It's bitter, unpleasant, but you know that you're going to
have to, if it's a terminal illness that you've got,
not terminal illness, but if it's a chronic illness, something
that's going to be there for the rest of your life. And you have to
take these pills with these tablets every day. And it's
bitter. It's, you don't like to do it, but you're gonna have to
develop some liking for it. Despite you're hating it because
it's of benefit to you. But when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, it's not about liking something that's bitter. That's
unpleasant. All of the ingredients, and the causes for
loving someone a present in Rasul allah sallallahu sallam, whether
you call it beauty, beautification, he was the most
beautiful of all, both in his character and his appearance, in
generosity, favors, and His favors are second to none.
To the human being, to the especially to the believers.
And number of other any reason that you could love something
positive reasons, Rasul Allah, Allah loves him has them all. So
it's not a challenge of trying to love something that's bitter and
unpleasant. It's all there. It's just about doing it. And what
better way to do it than to understand more about him
research. This is what we do today. You want to buy something
new. You want to purchase something new, you go on
comparison websites, you try to find out who provides the best
service at the best cost, who's the most efficient? Why can't we
do that we Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I don't want to
bring the the football example in, you know the love that we have for
certain things, whether that be football teams, or whether that be
basketball teams or whatever team that may be or whatever it may be,
we have Alhamdulillah in front of us. What insha Allah will get us
close to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, so that on the Day
of Judgment, if we're in trouble, and we more we could may well be
in trouble for some of the things that we've committed
that he will intercede for us, that will be close to him. And in
sha Allah in Paradise will be close to him. It says there's a
hadith which says that
it's known that the mention of pious people
brings down the Rama of Allah subhanaw taala.
The Saudi when it brings down the Rama of Allah subhanaw taala to
mention then Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the most
pious
Of all will that not bring down the Rama
will not not bring down the Rama for us and shower us with His
mercy. Aside from the fact that every time we send blessings on
Rasulullah sallallahu, some Allah become so happy that he says you
send one blessing on Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I'll
send you 10 blessings, one for 10 because of his love for Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam one Muslim. Also another fact is that when we read
this first chapter, you will see that very lovingly, they've
described Rasulullah sallallahu some the Sahaba once I covered
this first chapter,
in one masjid, and one person came up afterwards and he says,
I don't think we should have looked at these Hadith. No, I
don't think we should have looked at these descriptions.
What they create is hero worship.
The deen is about loving Allah subhanho wa taala.
And it's not about personalities, it's not about individuals.
Now, this is a really sad statement, a really sad statement.
The person has an understood the dean, and yet this was a religious
man. And the reason where he was going wrong is this was
this was you could say,
a so called reformation of the faith, taken to extremes, you
could say it was
trying to cleanse the dean of bidder of innovation, perceived
innovations, reprehensible innovations, taken to the extreme,
such that things have become blurred now as to what is
established and what's not. Such that the personal temperament, the
personal
approach, mentality, belief has become that has become obscured,
just because it doesn't fit into a certain mindset that a person has
developed for themselves. We absolutely condone abstinence from
bid and innovation. We don't need it. Innovations are abhorrent.
They destroy the Sunnah. Because every time a bidder comes in a
sunnah is lifted, because you are, there's only one way to do
something. Meaning one general way in which many ways could be
possible to rasool Allah to Allah subhanho wa taala. If we replaced
that with a innovated way, then we've just replaced a sunnah. So
once you do a bitter, you've just missed the Sunnah. That's how the
deen is destroyed.
But where a person then takes that to the extreme. And
his complaint then is Why did Allah the Allah who won the city
the key of the City of Knowledge, the door of the City of Knowledge,
why did he describe Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam like
this?
Why did UNASUR the Allah describe Rasulullah sallallahu like this?
Why did Abu Huraira ignore Ibis? And all of these other savara
Ignore it bro the Allahu Anhu Why did they describe Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam and then why did people take these descriptions
from them and narrated to the those later on? And then why did
these individuals like Imam telemovie compiled this in a
chapter to make it even worse?
Hola COVID Can you see this mindset and I'm serious. This
person was a very nice individual, not an argumentative individual
either not one who's always going condemning things
and this is what he came and told me this was an experience I had
about 10 years back.
May Allah subhanaw taala protect us from such I mean this has been
there is no criticism from any scholar about what Imam told me he
has written this is purely just somebody's wires have been crossed
and perspective has been distorted
so one must understand our deen has some color.
Our with Dina some color. And may Allah subhanaw taala color us with
with his Deen similar to Allah woman accent Amina Allah who say
Baba,
this is the color of Islam. Right? metaphorical obviously, this is
metaphorical. So let's start having said that, let's start
this. This Oh, this scholar he says that every time I taught and
at the end of it, I saw Rasulullah sallallahu my dream. That's his
experience. We don't know if the people who sat in that gathering
also Surah Surah. Allah said Allah sama not.
Because not everybody goes and brags about it.
But that's what he said. And he said this to give the leap to
inspire to encourage. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala because
the seeing of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in the dream
It is not a CASB thing. It's not something you can acquire by your
efforts. It's a Wahhabi thing, which means it's given by Allah
subhanaw taala. Because it's not necessary.
Meaning somebody who who's been very pious and righteous following
the dean,
and who
has never seen a sort of loss or loss of in their dream, on the Day
of Judgment doesn't have to be any less than somebody else.
Because sometimes, the Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam comes in to
dream for different reasons. Inshallah, when we cover that
chapter, it will be described in more detail. But the thing is that
it's something that gives us great hope. Because it's establishing
the deen. That's why it's established, just like on one or
the other used to address the Blackstone, say, I know you're a
stone. I know you're a stone.
But we've been commanded that this is what we do, we kiss you, and
you take our sins. So likewise, would have been told that you
could see Rasulullah sallallahu in your dream. There is a
possibility. It's, it's something to rejoice about.
There was one individual he said that
he was told by he was having a dream in his dream, he was told
that he is going to Rasulullah sallallahu is going to be at this
particular place at five o'clock.
He got there 1015 minutes before he's waiting. He's looking at his
clock. This is Watch.
And Sahana lava two or three minutes before five o'clock in his
dream. Somebody came in woke him up.
Meaning in reality, somebody woke him up. When that somebody woke
him up. According to his dream here, two minutes left, you can
imagine how angry he must have been at that person.
But then the person didn't know that he was saying he was waiting
for a surah allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
But then there's no reason for this person to get angry at this
other man, other person who got who woke him up. It wasn't to be
if it was to be would have happened. It's just to show you. I
mean, the interpretation of this would be that you're not there
yet. You're not doing enough sunnah.
You're close, you'd like it, you're trying but you're not there
yet.
There was another individual very similar. He knew Rasulullah
sallallahu was there. But there was something coming and covering
him up and wasn't allowing him to see him. He came in told me this
dream.
And I asked for an interpretation, and basically, is that you love
Rasulullah sallallahu you're not doing enough. And that's why
there's a still a veil. He knew, they told him he was Rasulullah
sallallahu someday, and if that happens in your dream, it can be
shaytaan making, making fun of you. It can't be shaytaan faking
it, because shaytaan can't do that. That's what the Hadith says
shaytaan Wilaya, Timothy Ruby, that's what the Prophet sallallahu
sallam said.
And it will we've gone to the last chapter. Let's get back to the
first chapter. A few points before we start with the first set of
narrations.
Some of the benefits of learning about a sort of loss and the loss
of some especially its characteristics is that when we
begin to recognize his characteristics, which are clearly
honorable, which are noble, which are
a gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala to him, and
that will, inshallah lead to our hearts becoming filled with his
respect, then we won't be just respecting him for the deen that
has come down to us. We'll respect him for everything we know about
him. Because everything of those is worthy of respect. So there are
more ways now more reasons to respect him and honor him. The
more you respect him and honor him the more there is love,
the more you will do, and the closer you will get to Allah
subhanaw taala by that because he's our sila to Allah subhanaw
taala
and then, you know more about us will Allah salAllahu Salam, you
respect his Deen more
because you will see more value in it. People will not be able to
sway you and convince you or confuse your other that your deen
is weak. Because the more you know about a sort of lesson you will
realize he doesn't speak on his own accord he speaks from ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada. So if somebody does confuse you, does create
confusion in your mind about an aspect of Islam, you will not
become confused so quickly, but you will go and research. Number
two will begin to understand how much favor Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam had on us
and that he was given everything to be able to perform this task in
the best way he was endowed by Allah subhanaw taala with the best
of qualities, the perfectly situated and placed individual
sallallahu alayhi wasallam to do this task and to perform this task
is not a blemish,
that if there's been a perfect human being it was him.
A boon or aim relates from Mr. IGNOU kingdom from the year that I
was once at Abdullah Hebner Amara. The Allahu Anhu sitting down a
person came to him, he said, Oh Abu Abdul Rahman
What did to what did to a Nero eight rasool Allah He sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, I have this love, I would have loved that I
would have seen Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, if
normally the woman said to him for content for content, Mother, what
would you have done if you'd seen him? You know, what would you have
done? So Allah He woke me up, woke up bill Rubina Haney. I would have
believed in him, meaning I would have accepted my faith with him,
and I would have kissed him between his eyes. If not, I'm
gonna be alone said Allah Oba Shirak should not give you some
glad tidings. He said. Of course, yeah. But Abdurrahman said semi to
rasool Allah, He said, Allahu Allah, he was sending me your cool
Matata Habibi Colby I had in that I had bunny in the Haram Allah Who
just said who I didn't know that.
I have heard Rasulullah sallallahu said I'm gonna leave now I'm gonna
said I've heard Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying
that, my love
when my love becomes infused into the hearts of someone, and then he
begins to love me. Allah subhanho wa Taala will make his body to be
unlawful on the hellfire. It will not be consumed by hellfire. This
is obviously speaking about true love, not the Christian concept of
love which has been assembled. This is with ama that's the true
love, where you actually show that you're loving by abstaining from
the bitter out and following the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
Furthermore, to learn more about us all allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, what else will it do for us? It will allow us to do more
hikma of Rasulullah sallallahu sambia service of what he would
have liked us to do to
the more we know about it, the more we can speak with conviction
with someone else. Then if somebody does draw some cartoons,
we would be able to at least 1010 people in our workplace or our
colleagues of what he was because we would, we would have the
confidence, the knowledge, the insight into what he really was,
and we could speak with, we could speak with conviction. Right now
the situation with many Muslims is they don't know their own profit.
They know more details about other things, then they know about their
profits. And thus, when something like this happens, they hide
so that they don't have to be they don't have to be confronted about
this. They don't like what's going on, but they can't deal with it.
They can't do anything about it. Subhanallah I believe that anytime
insha Allah may Allah protect the Ummah from such such tests and
calamities, but when it does happen to something proactive.
Otherwise, why is it that the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa Salam
is being denigrated like this?
Why is it that others are never denigrated like this? Are the more
contemporary individuals ideas? Why do they become sacred and
sanctified? And something someone who's followed by billions of
people cannot be sanctified? It has to be with our own to do with
our own shortcomings, isn't it? But we need conviction
that we can speak about a sort of lesson from any angle because
we've recognized we've understood who he was, we can dispel doubts,
remove confusions, remove the darkness bring people into the
light.
Subhanallah as I mentioned earlier, speaking about pious
people, brings down the ROM of Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he gave Abbas Hypno, murderous 100
camels. When he praised him.
He loved that praise so much that He gave him 100 camels.
He took off his hula he took off his garment Rasulullah sallallahu
took off his garment and gave it to caribou Sohail famous poem,
Captain Musa Hain praise them he gave him his garment.
In there, he said in the Rasul Allah is in the Rasul Allah say
for new Stoddart will be he will Hannah Dohmen so you have Allah He
must Lulu
that very Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is like a sword is
a sword that you start out will be he
from which you can gain illumination. He is one of the
sharpest of the swords of Allah subhanho wa taala. That is
unsheathed The other thing is is that we all have love for
Rasulullah sallallahu every believer has love for us all of us
at some level, but studying more about this will in will inspire
the love will
a stirrer that love in our hearts will inshallah increase it is a
dormant love for many people, it's lying still dormant. asleep, it
has to be woken up.
It has to be woken up. The thing about Rasulullah Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam attributes, no sorry, outer characteristics
features description being mentioned first is because that's
normally the first thing you see about somebody. So Imam did Millie
is obviously taking this from a very logical, practical approach
is saying if you enter this is what you'll see first, you came
into Madina Munawwara. And there you saw Rasulullah sallallahu.
This is what you would see for us, we're going to give you an
understanding of how the people there have recorded what they've
seen.
And that's what we that's what we're going to show you. So with
that, let us start from the first Hadith hamdu lifestyle did this
work with a teacher with one of our shoe was never shaky, smart
eel Raja, who studied with his teacher and onto Imam up to Imam
Tirmidhi. So inshallah when we relate these a hadith, it will be
done with the chain.
It will be done with a chain to Rasulullah sallallahu ALA and Amin
to the narrator's so we're not inshallah doing this in vain. And
because this is a Hadith work, and many of you are here for the first
time, it's a good idea that we also act on what they call the
muscle cell bill. A Walia. That's the first Hadith that
scholars normally had the theme normally mentioned when he first
started teaching. We're trying to just kind of sit in that place
right now trying to act like somebody teaching Hadith. May
Allah subhanaw taala accept us, right? But so inshallah we'll do
that as well for the baraka so we can be connected in this Silsila
because when Rasulullah sallallahu mentioned this, this was one of
the first Hadith that this particular Sahabi had heard from
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I believe Abdullah Ahmed
and lastly, Allah one that he'd heard from Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam, and it was the first thing he related to his student,
and then his student.
His student was very particular about doing the same, and so
forth. And that's why this has become a tradition. So inshallah
we can all become part of that tradition. That hadith is that
Cora Nabil sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Rahim Allah your humble
humble Rahman Iranian woman, fill out your ham command for summer or
Hebrew into your humble home or ramen, your hammelmann Fill your
ham comfy summer Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
that the rocky Moon those who have mercy on others, the Most Merciful
One has mercy on them. The Rahman has mercy on the merciful ones.
You should have mercy. Act with Mercy deal with mercy on with
those deal with mercy with those on the earth and the one who is in
the heavens will deal with you with mercy. So may Allah subhanaw
taala grant us mercy in our natures

that's the end of the first Hadith. The first Hadith after
Imam Timothy
mentioned the title under which he is going to collect these Hadith.
It's chapter on what has come to us what has been transmitted to us
about the outer form the characteristics of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam
this hadith is from Anna sub nomadic I won't mention the others
that are further down from him. But
because Imam tells me the got it from a water katiba to preside
that's his teacher. And abou Raja Kataeb. The Northside Rahim Allah
heard it from Malika bananas.
And Marie Kondo Ennis,
the great Imam. He heard it from Robbie Abner Abdul Rahman Rai, the
famous scholar of Rai
in Madina Munawwara and he relates it directly from Anna sub nomadic
or the hola Juan so Marley could not * and so normally the
Sahaba is unassuming nomadic melachim not anuses the great Imam
of Madina, Munawwara Imam Malik. So under a pseudonym Malik Abdul
Rahman sorry Robbie. I don't know Abdul Rahman says that I heard an
A sub nomadic, say the following. So the Hadith these words are from
andasibe nomadic or the Allah one
that are Sol allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was neither very
lanky and tall, extremely tall, unsightly, tall, but we will bear
in clearly overly tall, that's what he's saying. Right? So in I'm
not sure if that's colloquial or slang, we say lanky.
We say somebody who's very
thin and tall, very scenery,
limbs, which is unsightly, somebody who's proportionately
tall.
Inshallah, that's appraisal, everything. That's a decent thing.
But somebody who's just really thin that's, that's what they're
trying to reject here. What I will consider neither was he short. And
if you see in his description, he says he wasn't short. He didn't
say very short. He wasn't short. Well, I will concede, according to
this description, he wasn't short at all. But he wasn't too tall,
which means he was tall, but not too tall. Because they are neat.
What this is showing is that it's negating absolute shortness. There
was no shortness he was on the taller side, but not that
unsightly, unsightly tall.
That's about just the outer statue. The first thing you would
see he was this tall. You know, you'd notice that before you
notice what they look like is that that's what you could remember
then what had been a building amok? Well, our bill Adam, now he
started talking about his,
his complexion, that's very difficult to describe, because the
complexion of people is very complex. You can't just say it's
like this color and be accurate about and they were trying to be
accurate, because especially these prominent Sahaba they were known
for their accuracy. So he's saying well, I build a building amok, not
pure white, paper white like lime, which is unsightly, is ghostly.
Because that's what you have when you when you are an albino is
alright.
I'll be you know, yeah. All by now. Yeah, I'll be No, right.
That's what you have. So it's not that kind of paper white. Because
paperweight pure white, lame, wait, is not praiseworthy at all.
So this is trying to show he was an absolutely purely just white,
right? Wallah Bill Adam. And neither was he completely wheatish
dark.
Or Tony in color, which is the color of the earth. And that's
various different shades of that. So what he's trying to say is that
it was somewhere in between white and tone Enos or the color of the
earth wheat complexion, but have we not completely wheat
complexion, that it goes towards being darker to his on the lighter
side, but not completely light. So again, the same kind of
description is used his negating a wheatish complexion, but he's not
negating a white company. He's not negating an absolute white. I
mean, this is difficult to explain.
He's, he's negating a raw white complexion, a pure white
complexion, you know, Deluxe, pure white, you know, it wasn't pure
white, but there is whiteness, so it's closer to whiteness. And as
we'll understand, and the reason why he wanted me the is not just
mentioning one Hadith. He's mentioning a number of them is so
that you will understand from the different descriptions will
actually come to closer to the reality because each person
describes it differently just slightly differently. And you will
see that there's not any major
conflict between them. So in here, he's rejecting total utter
whiteness, and he's rejecting weak complexion. So it's somewhere in
between the two areas will learn from the others. It was matted on
El hombre. It has a slight reddish tinge. In fact, not as it said it
was like silver. So there was a shine to it. It wasn't pale,
ghostly white, but it was a shiny white that has a reddish tinge.
And that reddish Enos would obviously depend on what how the
prophets of Allah was feeding, because on one occasion there's a
description of him that he was when he became angry, that it was
as if the seeds of
A pomegranates had been squashed onto his,
onto his cheek. That's how red he became at that time. But the
normal pneus the normal complexion of his was between white that was
white and wheat complexion. That was
that was leaning towards the red, reddish tinge to it. Then he
speaks about his hair. Well, our bill will cut it
will be subbed. And again, he's very eloquent the way he does this
because he negates one thing. Absolutely. And he negates an
extreme in the other. So one thing he negates completely is it wasn't
completely straight. And neither was it.
Curly, extremely curly,
twisted, crispy,
right, like stiff.
I mean, people from different nations have this. The Greeks for
example would have very straight or very curly hair or it depends.
So it's just different things that different types of hair that I
mentioned his was had a slight wave to it. So literally what
you're seeing is that it wasn't completely straight that it just
fell flat. Right? It had a bounce it had a wave to it, and neither
was it completely curly. Allah subhanahu wa Tada sent him at the
at the head of 40 years.
At the end of 40 years, Allah subhanho wa Taala sent him meaning
sent him as a prophet and the age of 40. He says Allah ROTC ROTC
means the head of the tip of the turn of 40 years. Is he speaking
about that literally, because 40 years would mean that if the
Prophet sallallahu Ariosa, which we know establishes that he's born
in robiola one,
then did this happen in robiola? Well, when he had his first
exposure, and the first revelation to Gibreel? Ali salaam, the
exposure to Jibreel Ali salaam did that haven't revealed a one?
Some scholars have said that but the strongest opinion which is
more strongly established as they actually happen in Ramadan, which
would make it a half a year afterwards. So this is obviously
said in general, as 40 years, because is it's not about counting
the months as well as it was 40 when it happened, which is
accurate in that sense.
Now it says for a call maybe Mahkota accuracy Nene, he stayed
in Mackay reside in Makkah for 10 years and Madina Munawwara for 10
years. The Madina Munawwara 10 years that's established, but
Maka, he actually stayed for 13 years after prophesy after the age
of 40. He stayed for 10 years, 13 years, then he moved to Madina
Munawwara. Now there could be many reasons for this, of why he said
this in other places, or the numbers I mentioned. But the
reason for this is that he is again, using general 10s 10 years
here 10 years, they're cutting off the units. So that could be one
reason. So he's just mentioning 14 General. And he's not mentioning
the half, for example, for Ramadan, because he would have
been 14 and a half. According to that. There is
it's not a bus.
It's relatively not a bus. And so Adrian was a bit of the hola Juan,
that this is not a very popular narration. It's kind of an
isolated narration. It says that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was actually
sent as a Prophet, his birther office of prophecy was when he was
43 years old. So that is a isolated opinion. It's not the
mature opinion, but it seems like that has some support in this,
that it was
43 plus 10.
But there's still conflict here.
There's another another narration which says, so we know that he
stayed 13 years in this one, he says 10 in another one, he says
15.
So what it seems like is that Anasazi Radi Allahu Anhu is just
focusing on the tents, just in general.
When it comes to
the 15th one, they are adding the year,
both the beginning year and the last year. So they're adding two
additional years to make it 15. And then they're probably adding
that to you know, it's it should not be added. But that's just the
way they're counting it. Because remember, they weren't looking at
some birth certificate, or some you know, they weren't reading off
something Okay, here they were just it was their perspective of
how they counted these things.
And the narrator's just mentioned the honesty as it was because
there was nothing wrong with it. That was just the way they were
counting these things. And then
isn't, again
You can tell by the next part, which is an Allah subhanho wa
Taala
took him from the world
ended his life in this world ended at the tip of 60 years, and
established that he had passed away in 63.
So he is speaking about it in general intends.
On a study Allah Han who said that when he died at the age of 60,
according to him, he was 63.
In his, he describes how much gray hair. Now, people say today, when
they start getting gray hair, they start saying that it's all due to
stress. It's due to overworking. It's due to not relaxing,
constantly being occupied, being grieved about things.
It is remarkable then, that Rasulullah sallallahu, I'm at the
age of 60. Not 40 At the age of 60. Has, according to this
narration only. He says there was not even 20 hairs that were white,
or gray in his hair.
There were 1314 15 or 17 or 20 different durations. They actually
counted it because of ourselves. We didn't always have a cap one
and they could count in somewhere here somewhere on the beard
somewhere on the bottom of the lip. Somewhere in is on the side.
Can you imagine a person who Allah subhanahu wa taala is comforting
time and time again. Law Luca Burke here enough soccer Elia
Kunal what mean? Maybe you're going to destroy yourself over the
fact that they are not believing because the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam used to Subhanallah he used to cry over
this. And Allah subhanaw taala says that the way you're going,
you're going to destroy yourself over this. You don't need to do
that.
All of that grief. All of the people he had to deal with
constant battles constantly under attack. Forget being busy running
from one place to the other to make money. Right? And how many
wives yet nine wives and people are complaining or having one wife
and know what women do to us that people complain about them?
Hello Hola, Quwata illa biLlah the province of Lhasa had nine wives
at one time
and he only has a few white hairs. Inshallah we'll look in more
detail about about this. But just a bit of a description about
what the Allama have mentioned, is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam
gained the office of prophecy Naboo at the age of 40. And then
three years after that, he became a messenger. There's a difference
between nubby and Rasul between a prophet and a messenger if we can
translate it like that, because an OB is anybody that Allah subhanaw
taala sends, but they don't, they're not necessarily given a
new Sharia. Rasul is somebody who is given a new Sharia that
abrogates the previous one. For example, moosari salam was a was a
Rasul as a prophet. But Harun Ali salaam, who was his brother was
only a prophet and not a Rasul. So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was both a prophet and messenger. He got prophecy at the
age of 40. And 43 was when he became a messenger.
There's another Hadith which, for example, it could be some Arabic
Allah, the Haluk. That refers to prophesy. That's when he got his
new boo boo. That's the first verse that's the beginning. Then
you hit him with death. Come for under what up back Africa bear.
He's been told to now go out. That is when he got his messenger, her
office of messenger. It's also related from Rasulullah
sallallahu, alayhi wasallam. What couldn't to Nubian were another
movie in a row, he will just said, I was a prophet, while at the
money his salaam was still between being spirit and body, that before
other Maricela was even a proper human being, and made it forming
formed into a human being I was already a prophet. Now, what does
that mean?
If that's the case, then how is it that he's been given prophecy
according to this narration at 40, that means he's been prophet from
before.
So to be able to reconcile the two.
The prophecy at the age of 40 is the worldly designation as a
prophet, while the one that was before was to do with the rule
that was in the universe of the aroma of the spirits, that he was
considered a prophet. Now, we mustn't think that that just means
that Allah knew him to be a prophet, because Allah knew Musa
Islam to be a prophet, he knew either money salam to be a
prophet, and Ibrahim Ali, some of the others. So if it's just about
knowledge of Allah, then that would apply to all of them. Then
why would the prophets of Allah mentioned this as a point of
distinction, that I was a prophet when other Maria Salam was not
even a full human being yet.
As such, that means he set a special designation, and there
were things that were based on that. So the Arwa the human souls
are created before the bodies and thus his rule was designated with
prophecy, before his body was even created in this world or came into
this world. His name was written on the Arash, Muhammad Rasool
Allah, so that his melodica would also know the others names were
not written. The names of others were not written, but the name of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam was written to show the,
to show the nobleness the nobility and the honor that Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam has according to Allah subhana wa Tada.
The other thing is,
if you look at all of the prophets
What does Allah subhanaw taala say? Woolmer ermine Amara who?
Illa Khalil, about who knew how Alayhis Salam 950 years 50 less
than 1000 years, but one I am in a matter who it luckily,
very few became believers Illa Khalil very few became believers
come to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam short life 23 years of
propagation. And this is the most interesting thing here. with his
own eyes, he saw 100 and over 120,000 of believers with his own
eyes.
In that Farewell Pilgrimage, there were approximately 120 224,000
people there believers
within 23 years, despite the shortness of life of Rasulullah
sallallahu himself and others, you have 120,000 believers 24,000
believers that he sees with his own eyes. And this is other than
those who are unable to make it for the Farewell Pilgrimage.
And contrast that to new holiday salaam no fault of new Hasaan this
is just the benevolence of Allah subhanaw taala Muhammad salallahu
Salam and us being part of this ummah, we can be proud of that
fact that we're born in this coma, that we've got more chance of
being believed. Imagine if we were in the
amount of no Holly salaam, where would the probability have been
about belief? If only a few are chosen?
You'd rather be in this ummah, where there's a greater
possibility that you could be a believer Subhanallah Allah and as
the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala that he brought us from this
ummah. So the prophets, Allah some stood on the Day of Arafah and he
saw 120,000 people.
We have Laylatul Qadr better than the 1000 months. Allah subhanaw
taala has given it all to us through the benevolence and a
position that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has has
both maca Makara Madina Munawwara especially Madina, Munawwara. The
respect that it gains today that he has today is from Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam May Allah subhanaw taala give us the Tofik
there's obviously
we'll look at the rest of that hadith I thought we'd do a few
more Hadees today but unfortunately, we haven't been
able to, but inshallah next time we'll be able to do more Hadith,
most of the many of that hadith that will come there'll be very
similar they'll add some details. And may Allah subhanaw taala give
us the tofi quark and with that, why not and then hamdu Lillahi
