All
right, let's look at these number 256 Hadith number 256 either
lambda stay fosse navmesh it.
When you feel no shame, then do as you please Hadith related by Imam
Bukhari
Hadith number 256 of provisions for the seekers. This hadith is
something that is quoted quite frequently many Roma discuss it
I'm sure it's been discussed in many hotbars lectures and other
places because it's something that is very fundamental to our Eman
because I've always said Allah, why are some said adhere Amina
Iman. He was describing the 70 Something branches of faith.
And he one of the things that he singled out to say this is a
branch. He said I'll hire Amina Eman. Modesty is from faith. In
fact, many orlimar mentioned that higher and Eman go together. And
it's so true. Because the more higher a person loses, where they
become a lot more crass in the way they do things a lot more bold.
You know, don't don't have as much higher in dealing with others in
front of Allah subhana wa Tada. When whether they're alone or in
front of somebody else, then that means a higher is being lost. And
you will notice that the more the higher is lost, the more sins a
person will commit. Because the Eman is that much weaker.
That's what it is. It's that much weaker.
When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that when a person
commit Zina that Iman comes out of the person and hovers above the
head. When he's finished that act, then it comes back, the man comes
back in. And essentially that act is a great act of
anti hire as such,
as they say, in all this great timber hierarchy, right? You know,
when there's no modesty, so the man leaves because that's just
such a vulgar act that the person commits. May Allah protect us from
all forms of fornication.
But higher is very comprehensive. There's another Hadith by a video
by Abdullah Masuda the Allah one where it's, it's saying that hey,
it really means that
you protect your head.
And from anything that it would entail
that you don't want Allah subhanaw taala or that Allah subhanaw taala
should not see you do that means listening to anything that wrong.
Seeing speaking
all of these things relate to higher
likewise than the body and the private parts and so on.
Or them I have written big books just on the single Hadith alone on
the concept of higher because it's so important.
And subhanAllah when the way this is mentioned, if you do not feel
shamed and do as you please, and it's not to be taken as well, I
don't really feel shame, so I can now do what I please. It's
actually said in the form of sarcasm as such. If you do not
feel shame, then you could do as you please, you will do as you
please because you've just broken down the barrier. So this
essentially tells us that the barrier of hire is so important
that once that barrier is lost,
you will do as you please
so it's not permissive. It's actually a very sarcastic in its
approach in one way you could look it up you could look at it like
that. So it's not to be taken literally.
There's a hadith related by there's a there's a great Hadith
scholar actually.
Ignore Kodama humbly refer he mentions this.
In his guitar with the well being there's a great Muhaddith whose
name was Carnaby, Carnaby, great Muhaddith.
He used to enjoy just chilling out with his friends and drinking.
That's what he mentions.
One day, he'd call his friends over.
And he'd call his friends over for food and drink afterwards. So he
was outside the house waiting for them to come. You know, unlike
today, where you'd be getting every 10 seconds and update on
your Twitter or your Facebook on your phone. That Okay, we're here
now.
This has happened on the way you know, somebody just cut us off.
Don't worry. We're going to be the, you know, minute to minute
update with about 20 Friends, right? He was just sitting there
waiting.
And it actually says in this narration that he had red trousers
on
Right, who has read trusts? So trying to show that he was off
that tape, you know, like, like today you have people with
these kind of flurry baggy trousers not for the sake of
sunnah. But to look like somebody else with maybe it writing halfway
down the bomb, or something like that, right? So
Allahu Allah, what He was into, but this was the kind of attitude
that they had. So he's sitting there waiting, and suddenly he
sees that there is a man coming along, who's sitting on his
donkey, and there's numerous people behind him, obviously looks
very imposing, looks like a very honorable person. So he's quite
taken aback by this because it's a stranger. It's somebody maybe from
a different city. So he says, what's going on? Who is this? So
somebody said this is sharper, sharper, sharper, is the name of
great Muhaddith
right, so this is sharper. So this is what he says in Arabic, he says
a sharp What the heck is shorba?
I mean, not like men who are shocked by it, it was not a
respectable term that men who are you know, who is he? Right? Or who
is this man is like, a sharp, a U shape H comes from a U shape. Like
what thing is this? Like a shot what the heck is shot, but, you
know, you could just imagine the attitude that somebody would have
today, you know, some guy who's just seeing like a gangster type
just sitting outside waiting for his friends to come along. You see
this big scholar compasses, like who the heck is like a man you
know? You can just imagine what it was like? So it's like a Sherpa
said Muhaddith you know he's a he's a hadith Master is a Hadith
scholar. So you know what he does? I don't know what comes into his
mind ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada put something in his mind he gets up
goes right up to shot but you know, he's got all of these
followers behind him is probably great respect for him and
everything. But he just goes up to sharp it says, had Disney
mentioned a hadith to me relate a hadith to me. So sharp, I must
have looked at him. And he says, you know, you don't look like a
person involved in in Hadith.
Right? Like, why should I he says, and I had this joke. I should
relate to Hadith. So you don't look like a person involved in
Hadith narration, study your teaching or whatever it was. So
who is this guy? Right? Can you imagine somebody just comes along
in the way like telling me something? What are you gonna say
like, what's wrong with you? So, you know what? What kind of view
does he pulls out his knife.
He says to her destiny, a joke. You're either going to mention a
hadith to me, or I'm going to wound you. I'm going to stab you.
I'm going to do something with this knife. A shotgun was thought
Subhanallah you know, mentioned a hadith to him. So he relates his
whole Hadith to the chain had dinner. He gives three people to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam said, either allow him to stay first
nashit he related this exact Hadees to him.
And this is the one Hadith that Carnaby has related from shortbow.
They say same person kinda be has related from shorba. If, when you
feel no shame, then do as you please.
That those words with what?
Loss and sincerity and that had come suddenly in his mind, and
he'd asked with the fervor that he had and then sharper. You know
what, kind of further he had related this hadith with the words
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that had such an impact.
He came back in his house, Carnaby. And he told his mother,
when my friends arrive, call them inside the house, let them eat,
give them to eat. And then actually what he did was he came
in the house first, he went to all of the supply of wine he had and
he dropped it all down, he spilled it on, He spilt it all. And then
he told his mother, when they when my
friends come in, let them come inside, feed them properly. And
then after I showed them and tell them what I've done with the wine,
I'm off, he went to Madina, Munawwara immediately,
immediately, like, can you imagine a guy today, something like that
happened to him? He goes to the travel agent book me a flight to
Saudi right now, you can't really do that right now because you need
visas. Right? But Subhanallah there are people who have gone to
the Saudi Embassy and got their visa in a day.
You know, that Subhanallah So, but in those days, you just had to
make your way there, right. You just have to make your way there.
So he goes, he goes to Madina, Munawwara and he goes to Imam
Malik
and he stays with Imam Malik becomes a hadith scholar Subhan
Allah so now when you read the Hadith examined I never knew this
until I read the story. I've read gotten to be so many times it is a
kind of unusual names. Do you remember it had the funnel
cartoner be you? Right? Then he came back to Basra. By that time
when he came back to us after finishing with the my Malik
shortbow had passed away that Muhaddith Shaba he had passed away
Rahim Allah. So
this is the one Hadith he relates from Shopbop so
panela
but that just shows that it doesn't matter who you are where
you are. Change can come in an instance. That's very important,
important to realize. And it was this hadith, the words is such a
penetrating effect, if only these words could have the same kind of
effect on us as well, that when we also feel the same way that if you
have no shame, then do as you please, the next time we are
thinking about something we need to realize a way is our balance of
modesty and chastity. And one thing we have to realize is that
this comes from the word Higher, higher is not the natural shyness
in a person that prevents them from speaking, right? Because
sometimes you have to speak, especially if it's about defending
your faith defending your honor, and so on.
