hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayed more Selena
while he will be here about Rocco seldom at the Sleeman cathedral,
Eli Yomi Dean Emeritus, we move on today in our Shamal series we move
on to chapter 26. Chapter 25 that we covered last week was about the
types of bread that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used
to consume in his life. And one day we had discovered that,
primarily whenever he did get any bread, it used to be made of
barley. There was hardly a time when he had the better bread in
those times, which is made of wheat. We also learned that the
kind of barley that they used, especially during the time of the
Sahaba, was that which was unrefined, they would just get the
crushed barley, ground barley, and they would just blow on it, and
whatever flew off, that they would let that go and the rest of it
they would use, and that's why they mentioned that the one of the
first innovations began to creep into the Muslim ummah was the use
of sieves. They didn't necessarily mean it was a reprehensible
bidder. But it was definitely a bit that took people away from
focus on the hereafter to a certain degree, because it made
them a bit more indulgent in refined food. This time, the next
chapter 26 Imam, tell me the titles as bourbon major a fee Dami
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam chapter on the Edom of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And the idiom refers to
anything that is eaten with bread. So anything that you can couple
with bread to eat with bread means roti, each party Hyatts whatever
you call it in, you know, whichever country whatever thin
bed fat bread flatbread,
thick bread, double roti, whatever you want to call it. So anything
that you would eat with it, is called Edom. And that would mean
anything you can dip your bread in. Normally, anything that you
can dip your bread in, that's called a DOM. So that's what's
referred to here. This could be in staples in different, it could be
vinegar, it could be dates, it could be meat, it could be oil,
dipping oil, which is the olive oil, for example. It could be the
God that is eaten with the bread, different types of Hello, are they
in many Middle Eastern countries, they make a kind of a sweet, a
solid, kind of a sweet, it's not that solid, but it's made of
sesame. It's this mixture with lots of sugar. And so it's called
Hello, they call it Hello, or semolina or anything else that
people do in different parts or even honey. So anything that's
going to be eaten with bread is called Edom. And this chapter is
on that subject. And we obviously covering it because it's part of
the book. But just like with everything else, even with the
clothing, the chapter on the clothing of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam, just like we discussed, they we try to
understand the different types of garments or types of cloth or
sheets that are probably the longest in us, we want, we're
hoping that we can inshallah also emulate Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, I know we have a very varied menus and options in
our homes and in our normal eating habits, especially here in the
West, which, with the mashallah with the
prosperity that we have in terms of food, and the availability of
different items and types, and so on. But we want to look at this
and see if we can introduce these kinds of foods into our life, and
actually make a meal out of them, which means just make a meal out
of them, just so that we could also emulate the way of
Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, because they were
reading all of this, and we just think it's something of a bygone
days, that essentially we're following what the Christians do.
For them, the Bible is just really a kind of an inspiration to a
certain degree. It's not to be followed literally, for many of
the Christians. Some try to some try to follow whatever they see.
But the majority, that's what the case is, and we want to be we love
of Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and we believe that
everything he did was to a certain degree timeless, and that holds
value, regardless of what time it comes in, and what time we see it.
And so we want to see if we can introduce some of this. I mean,
replacing our whole cuisine and our way is difficult. But then if
you see what Rasulullah Salallahu Salam ate, he never There was
never a food that was fixed. One of the commentators who after
looking at many of the Hadith related about what Rasulullah
sallallahu some eight, he concludes that there was nothing
that also lessons constantly ate that was beyond
that was beyond what was just normally availa for example, dates
was the easiest thing
that was always available. Well, that's something different, and
bread is a staple, but generally in anything else. I mean, did he
always eat meat? Did he always eat vegetables a certain type of
vegetable
No. Right? Was it always honey? Was it always olive oil? Was it
always vinegar? No, there was nothing that he fixed. In fact,
according to some commentators, they say that that's, that's
probably bad for you to do that, to fix very specific foods just
for and maybe in a sense, it's probably not as healthy. It's
better to move around in the basic foods, but it has to be simple.
And as we learn, the other thing that we learned from many of these
hadith is the simplicity of the food
is the simplicity of the food. So we hardly ever come across a
hadith and it's mentioned that this food is cooked with all of
these different spices and these different condiments and things of
that nature. A lot of it is very simple, and you'll see the way
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam used to deal with his food. So
inshallah we can benefit from this and we can try to emulate it to a
certain degree and introduce it in our lives as well in sha Allah.
Let us it's quite a large chapter. There's numerous Hadith in this
chapter. But we're just going to cover several of them today. In in
the interest of the time that we have. So let me just read through
the narrations first Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Berber, my

over OTA, Bitcoin amino Doria by Jarrell to Virgin Virgil to Barrow
HuFa Roubini and they hit him up. I know you're Hibou the 26th This
is the 26th chapter. The first narration here is Hadith number
160. This narration is related from Asia or the Allah one through
her famous students, nephews, he sham son of Ottawa from his father
Ibnu Zubayr from eyeshot of the Allahu Anhu that Azula sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, Nirmal Edom, Al has the best of
now just just for ease. idiom is a very comprehensive term. As I
said, it's anything that you can eat with bread. So, so we don't
have to explain each time we don't have to necessarily use the word
idiom all the time. We'll just call it a condiment, right a
condiment eaten with bread, unless somebody has got a better
translation that encompasses all right. Companion of bread
essentially. Anybody have a better translation? That some food some
you know people who are gourmet cheese, you know, the under
Stan food better than anybody else? Anybody got a better
translation? Please put it forward. If not, I'm going to use
condiment and that will mean either, Hollis. Okay.
Nirmal Edom. When you use the word in Arabic Nam net module, Abdullah
Hebner Omar. Such a great man is Abdullayev Normal. Normal is such
a great condiment is vinegar. So nerim When you say NEMA, it's used
to show wonderment about something goodness about something positive
aspect about something. Oh, so great is this. And the opposite of
that is bitser bitser Rajul. Such a bad person is he? So it's a
figure of speech in a sense in that sense. It's normally used for
that season Nirmal Edom al hull. The best of condiments is vinegar.
If a Muslim Imam Muhammad number of others have related this hadith
is a very famous Hadith such a famous Hadith has been related by
so many that it's possible that it could be mutawatir. It's very
close to being mutawatir is close to being so widespread that really
extensively narrated because it seems like the prophets Allah has
mentioned this, maybe a number of times a number of people heard
heard of sort of loss, Allah loves him say it. Another word for it.
Abdullah Abdul Rahman in his version, he says Odin ottoman,
which is a similar meaning to Edom, and they both can be used.
It's like saying the best of food, the best of foods, you know, in
English, we have words like that.
Right. Now, the question is, what did the professor alarmism intend
when he said that such a great food was some of the best of foods
is is this vinegar? What did he mean by it? Is he focusing on the
type of food vinegar is and he's saying? Do we have to look at the
context in that sense? Because we learn from another Hadith that
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he once came home and he
said, Is there any food and they said, there's no food except
vinegar. Almost as if it sounded like it's not proper food. Right.
There's no food except vinegars the rice house and they bring it
on. That's normal Edom. That's the best of foods such a great Oh,
it's not the best. It's not of Donald Trump. It says such a great
item of food or condiment is vinegar. So is he just trying to
say that do not belittle food, any type of food? Because it's useful
it can be eaten? Or is it for the sake of vinegar itself? Or is it
to show
virtue of foods like vinegar, which are easy to attain?
They're not very complicated. And they're widely available, and
they're normally something that can stay there, they don't perish,
it doesn't perish, right? Is it to then show the virtue of that type
of food and so you got all three possibilities. Among them, I heard
the theme of commented on this, you have a various different
opinions about this. So for example, Mr. Hatami, he said that
the purpose of this is to show the prophets Allah some is trying to
praise moderation in the type of food that you would eat. So don't
always go for the good foods. But there are also simple foods that
you should rely on some time, you don't have to have everything. For
example, a woman complained to my wife, saying, My husband twice a
day, I have to cook for him.
Right lunch and supper. And in each of them, he has to have these
particular things or consumer we banana Bertha. Right, you know,
which is like, cut vegetables in a yogurt. Right? He has to have
that. He has to have this he has to have that along with the dish
that you make. It's like I mean, subhanAllah that's quite tough,
you know, two times cooking each day. It's like a full time Cook,
Chef, right? And then with all of these additional things as well.
So is it to talk about moderation. So that's what Imam Hatami says.
That this is an encouragement and a praise for for moderation in the
type of food that you normally eat and to kind of withhold the knifes
from going into just tasty things. Right tasty things always after
things were which are very
exquisite on the palate and so on. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
essentially said well, vinegars not necessarily a condiment as a
commonly but even make that a condiment. It's simple just
economy. That's all you've got. You know, can you imagine if you
went home and Subhanallah said Is there any food you put vinegar
then with some bread? Can you imagine it? It'd be a good idea
those women who are listening if their husbands aren't here, even
if they are here, try it out one day just just see it and have some
food you know, have some food away somewhere hidden, right just in
case you get in trouble. Right and get in just put some food just put
the vinegar on let's see what the husband says. And then explain put
this hadith you know, put this hadith in front of the
unprofessionalism, said this
See what their reaction is? And then if if they're gonna get up
and you know, then okay, no, I've cooked some pull it out of the
oven, then it'd be a good test to see that SubhanAllah. Right. So
he's saying that anything that's like it is being then encouraged
by this mo hot, Bobby says, essentially something that doesn't
take too much preparation, no preparation at all, in fact,
right? Not much preparation. Very easy to find. Not difficult, you
know, it's not rare. It's not like, what do you call those? I've
never had any. So it's all right. Truffles had the fake ones. But
that mushroom or something, some sort of fungus that costs a huge
amount of money, some of them RGB SubhanAllah.
And do not indulge yourself in all of these desires and his whims and
so on. Because it's bad. It's it's a spoiler for your deen. And for
your body, good foods, they taste well. But they're not necessarily
always good for you. Right, the bad for your body sometimes. So
that is his opinion, and called the Al. There's also mentioned
this opinion as well. And the man No, he says no, the correct
opinion here is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is
speaking about vinegar itself. Vinegar has a virtue. So the
virtue is about vinegar. It's not about the type of foolishness. So
it's about vinegar. And he says, Well, we're not going to deny that
it could be about moderation in the types of food because but that
is proven through other Hadith and through the other customs of
Rasulullah sallallahu. Anyway, but here, this is not about that this
is specifically about vinegar to virtue about vinegar itself. If no
one ever asked Colin, who comes later, he says, No, it's both of
these points. So now you understand how different aroma
give different perspectives. And they don't give it just because
it's in their mind, but they see some other Hadith and they think
that they in terms of that hadith, this fits in with that. And that's
why it has to be this opinion. However, it seems like it won't
Imam No, he says that, that hasn't been taken by many as being you
know, the aspect that it's a specific merit of vinegar itself.
It's saying that this is general because it probably sort of lost
or was not one to praise a particular overpraise a particular
food or denigrate a particular type of foods, because both of
those things were because he was not necessarily praising the right
thing. In terms of
the praise in terms of greed for food. It wasn't necessarily out of
that anyway. I mean, you wouldn't think that that the province of
Watson would do that anyway. But they say that generally it's a
gentle encouragement towards a moderation in foods. So on that
occasion which is related from Jabra and Abdullah or the Allah
one in Sahih Muslim that Rasulullah sallallahu semi asked
his family for some food and they said
Martin Dona Ilhan, we got nothing except vinegar and literally I
mean for us when if our wife said that we got nothing except
vinegar, it means we've got nothing you know, it would be like
we got nothing except vinegar, but we've got all these other things
in tins. We've got nothing cooked. That's probably but there was like
we got nothing probably in the house except vinegar. Like
literally the only food item in the house is vinegar. That's
probably what it meant. So the probably similasan Giardia Yeah,
cool. Haha, cool. So he took it. He ate us he started eating it and
he was saying normal dermal normal enamel color. She was like
praising it as he as he ate. So he was probably making them feel as
well that no you should be thankful even for this almost
Saturday the Allahu Anhu relates Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
that he said Nirmal ADA Mulhall Allahumma, Burdick Philhealth. So
these are support for those who say that there is a merit because
they he said that the such a great food is vinegar. Oh Allah bless.
Grant blessing and vinegar. In other words says for inorganic,
eternal Ambia mean cobbly He used to be of the condiments of the
prophets before me they used to also eat vinegar. Another Hadith
says lum you have Kobe to envy his cologne, a house will not be
considered poor or will not become struck with poverty if it has
vinegar. Or I think the other way to translate it is that a house
that has vinegar cannot be considered poor, you've still got
something. So it's also possible that he said it to make them feel
better. And it's okay we use still got something as I said before,
the other thing is that he could have the question is that he could
have just eaten the bread itself, right. It doesn't mention that he
ate it with bread. But then because it says that he was saying
Nirmal Edom Aloha, such great condiment is vinegar. And dam is
something that has to be eaten with bread. So he wasn't drinking
it. He was eating with bread, which means that there was bread
involved. It also indicates and why didn't he just eat bread then?
So it says that that's not a good idea to either eat just vinegar or
just bread on its own, but to actually eat it together? Because
they go together. And that is more healthier for you. Hakima
telemovie, who's a different theory the scholar to the to the
famous one that we hear about this is Hakima telemovie
He's got a famous book called collection called Nova. Sol. In
there, he says that Vinegar has both worldly and spiritual
benefits, the near end benefits from an old perspective, an old
perspective from the perspective of the uni or the old Greek
medicine, right, which they still use in, in Ayurvedic medicine and
other medic medical systems or medicinal systems. They just don't
use it as much in allopathic medicine, the one we use here with
the doctors, for example, in in India, or maybe even in Pakistan,
if they tell you to take a paracetamol and pray till you take
it with milk.
Right. And the reason is that they're using a mixture of a bit
of Ayurvedic Greek medicine, along with the allopathic medicine,
because saying that this is, this has a hot effect, a warming effect
in soy milk has a cooling effect. So take you with milk. That's what
they will probably tell you. So anyway, he says some of the
benefits of vinegar is that it has a cooling effect. So it's not a
hot food. But it's a cool event. I mean, all foods are, and there are
some neutral ones as well. But like dates are supposed to be hot
cucumber is supposed to be cool. So that's why I say coconut is
supposed to be cool as well. So that's why in many places when
they will offer you coconut with dates, just so that it's a
balance, too much of anything is bad when there are some people if
they have too much lychee juice, for example, they'll probably have
a cold the next day, right, which could be an allergy issue, or it
could just be that it's impact on the body. It's a cold effect
lychees for example, some people the fact that if they have too
many dates, then the nose will start bleeding because it has a
hot effect. And pistachios is supposed to be hot, but elements
are supposed to be neutral. Right? So there are different types of
food that have different effects, which can be learned through these
hurricanes and so on. But he says that with particular
to vinegar, it's cold, it's supposed to cut away it's supposed
to nullify and neutralize the heat of even poison. And it's gets rid
of
yellowness of the body, which essentially means something like
jaundiced, you know, jaundice and so on. It's beneficial for that,
and it has many, many other benefits to it. I mean, even
today, there's many, there's many studies out there about what
vinegar can do for you, especially certain types of vinegars over the
others. For example, the apple cider vinegar is supposed to be
very beneficial, and so on. However,
some of them are mentioning that the province of Assam is not
talking from a Hakim's perspective here. Right, his focus is the
dean. So he's trying to say that do not denigrate food. Consider it
consider yourself to be a person who thinks Allah subhanaw taala
for whatever you have, and be born moderate in what you eat and be
thankful to Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet saw some did certain
did mention certain benefits sometimes just as an additional
aspect, for example, is it the halal Bill ethmoid for
international buzzer where you embed a sharp, which we read
before that use the intimate type of cinema or antimony ore, coal,
because it brightens your eyes is good, it's beneficial for the
eyes, and it causes the hair to grow, as well. It causes your hair
to grow as well. I mean, these are different things that are probably
still a lot of sun mentioned, but obviously whatever he mentioned,
he wasn't just kind of he heard it, so that's why he's mentioning
it, whatever he's mentioned. Even though it may have been known
around that time, it's probably something from Allah subhanaw
taala as long as the hadith is established, we can take it that
whatever the prophets Allah was mentioning should be from Allah
subhanho wa Taala
the next Hadith Hadith number 161 is related from Seema Cubano herb,
he says I heard Norman even know Bashir who was a Sahabi no amount
of no but she was a Sahabi I heard him saying, Allah student Vitara
Amin worship Allah been murshid done unto you with regards to food
in great prosperity, aren't you? Don't you have abundance in your
food and drink? And subhanAllah? We do? Don't you have an abundant
access to food and drink? Local there are a ton of vehicles
Salalah Who are you Sonoma used to doing a darker Lima yum little
buttoned up. And he's thinking back reminiscing about the
Rasulullah sallallahu his time he says I have seen your prophet. And
we've covered this hadith in in one of the previous chapters about
the life of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, and I've seen your Prophet
he is his prophet as well. But he is trying to make them feel that
he is your prophet who you look up to you look as a role model to for
guidance to I've seen him in a situation where he didn't even
have some of the most inferior, even a few inferior types of dates
to fill his stomach with.
And look at you the amount of food that you have today. Thank Allah
subhanaw taala the next hadith is 162.
In this one, it's related from Maha Maha they differ from Jabir
ibn Abdullah the Allahu under Sahabi you say
is also to allah sallallahu sallam said Nirmal Edom al al HUL. In
this one this is just saying that it's from another sabe The first
one was from who the first Hadith that we read that was about that.
That was from
alright shall have the Allahu Allah. Aisha Radi Allahu Anhu. She
said the protostellar some said this in this one it's Java Allah
when he said that he had a sort of data loss. I'm say that. So I'm
done with this probably bringing to show that it's come in many
different places. The next hadith is from zudem legitime. It was a
Busselton scholar, he says could not be Musa eluxury Are the Allah
one, we will buy Abu Musa al Sharia for the Alana Sahabi. So
for oto Bellami, the judge in some chicken was served. We were by him
maybe in his house, and the service came of it was chicken.
The word the judge in Arabic is the female chicken. The Quran is
the cockerel is the male. Right? So the judgment is the female
chicken. The word comes from that Jaya Did you which means to move
around fast. So the judge means that that animal that moves around
really fast is picking here going there running here, rushing there.
That's why it's called the judgment. Right? If you really
want to know that fatahna hydrogel a mineral comb, now this chicken
was served. So everybody's there is fine. But there's one man who
was present, he suddenly moved away, he moved away. And this
wasn't because he was fasting or anything like that. But he said,
So when Musashi with the unlock time, it says, my look, what's the
problem with you? What's going on? What's happening, my luck, what is
what's happening. He said, in Europe, he had that crochet, and
I've seen it eating something's so you know, chicken on the outside,
they go on, they can eat whatever worms and whatever, they pick up
anything. I've seen it eating these reprehensible things is
referring to, I've seen eating something, that and so on, for
health to Anla cola. So I've taken to know that I'm never going to
eat it. I've never eaten, I'll never eat it. Remember that this
hadith will also show us that it's not a good idea to go and take
oaths about things very fast, there are so many people that come
is that I've got this problem with this sin that I commit or this bad
habit that I have. And I've taken this oath, right? I've taken this
oath that I am going to pay five pounds, or 10 pounds, or whatever
it is, every time I do this thing. And for some people with something
very serious, they'll even go up to 50 100 pounds, I'll do it. But
then I've done it. And then I owe the 100 pound, right because I
broken my oath as such. And then I did it again. And then I did it
again. And this one particular person she said I it's been the
last five years, seven years, I can't remember what it is, I don't
know how many times I've done it and and so on. And subhanAllah if
you've got a problem with withholding yourself from some
restraining yourself from something, you're just going to
put yourself into a bigger problem by doing something like this
unless you know for sure it works. So these offs are not always a
good idea like that. So now the question is that what's you know,
what's, what is the issue here? So this is what I will Musala show
you the answer. He says Oh Don't come close, come and eat like Come
come come close. Like break your oath if you have to go against
what you feel. And this is very important because he says good no
come close, like come for in Euro eight rasool Allah and Allah Samia
Kula, the judge, I saw Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam that he used to
eat the meat of chicken. This is a Hadith that we should always keep
in mind. The reason is that you've got Muslims as well, who are
caught up in this whole anti meat meat movement. What is that
somebody is a vegetarian, for good reasons, whatever it is, but then,
is that even something praiseworthy, unless it's really
something that they've allergic to meat for some reason, we're not
saying that be a meat eater in the sense that you have to have meat
every single day. But this is that if you just vowed never to eat
meat again. But then there are people who are caught up in this
whole anti anti meat movement, Muslims. And this goes to show
that the Prophet sallallahu some of the best of creation, he would
have only eaten meat, if there was a particular reason for it, which
means that it's beneficial. It's something that's available, it's
there for the human consumption. Yes, he never ate meat so
frequently, but when it was there, he ate it. And this is very
important to show that and that's why this Sahabi sorry, this person
who was maybe a tabby right, the sahabi tells him just come close.
go against what you feel. This reprehensibility That you feel in
your, in your heart about it. Go forget that look at you what your
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to do, and that's why
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said la Umino
Hakuna Hawa hooter Burnley magic to be that none of you will become
a true and complete
lever until his own desires are totally in conformance to what I
have brought and I propagate. Right? So this goes to show that
if somebody has an allergy, or has another reason that's not to do
with anything else for not eating meat, that's maybe okay. But if
it's for the fact that each dish should not be eaten, then they've
got some, then then it's a problem, because the profit or
loss I'm at, and that's our God guide. It doesn't matter what
rhetoric any other anti meat movement will tell you. That as as
much sense as it may make us logical as it may seem, that
doesn't make a difference. Yes, agreed. And definitely encouraged
not to eat too much meat, but when it's there, there's benefits in
there for you.
Okay, so, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. There's a hadith
in Bukhari.
The Abu Musa really alone also relates to a person,
the Ashanti in the group of HRD, and came to Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, and the prophets, the prophets, Allah some had first
taken off, not to give them anything, not to give them any
animals to travel on. And then after he actually gave them five,
to travel on,
and then the profit and loss and said Wallahi insha, Allah hula,
and if Allah Amin in arahi, raha hai Romina Illa T to a lady who
hire what the halal to her, the Rosa law, some said that, if I've
taken an oath on something, and then I find that the other way is
superior, that I will break my oath, and do the better way. So
that gives us another criteria to think about the even if you've
taken an oath in something, and then you found that it wasn't the
best thing to have done, you should rather break it, and then
go and
do go and do the other better thing. Now in terms of oath, just
to be very clear, if you said that if I do this again, then I'll,
this will happen to me. Once it happens once, then you're out of
your oath, you pay the penalty, then But then after that, every
subsequent time that you do, it doesn't matter anymore, the more
critical one is this where you say, Cool, lemme, every time that
I do this, I'm gonna have to pay this, or every time I do this,
this, this will happen to me, then you're in trouble. Because then
it's like a never ending, it keeps coming back to you, that will
haunt you for the rest of your life. So don't do that. There's
some people who are in a very critical situation where there's a
very serious issue with marriage and stuff like that, where some
people will make you swear on your marriage. And they will say that
if I have done this, and this is really one is that my wife will be
divorced. Right? Okay, find one divorce get back together again.
But there's, there's people, I've seen one situation where it was
about somebody who stole something, nobody was owning up,
they said that everybody's going to have to take a Calama off,
which means that everybody's going to have to swear that if I am the
one who, who's who's stole this and not owning up to it, then
every time I am married to a woman, she will be divorced, which
means your wife will go if you're married, and every time you try to
marry somebody else, as soon as she gets married, they will be
divorced. That's serious. I think the person owned up.
No, I think the person didn't know enough, the person didn't own up,
then only afterwards he owned them, but he taken the oath by
them. So this is the preface a lot of the two things he's mentioning
he ate meat. And number two, if he made an oath, and he found
something better, he found a better option. He broke the oath.
And he did that. And that's very clear that this is two things we
should keep in mind.
Anyway, the benefits of the Obama have mentioned the benefits of
chicken, if you want to be convinced about it. You want to
know more about chicken? They say that there's many benefits in it.
If not am Rahim Allah, He says it has a chicken has a warming
effect. It's a hot food, as opposed to what was the one before
that? vinegar. Vinegar had a cooling effect, right? It's
moisture. It's not a dry food, it's obviously moist. It's but
it's very light on the stomach. So it's not heavy, like maybe other
meats, it's light, it's very quick to be digested. And it's very easy
and very convenient to mix with other things. And it helps it
builds your memory, it's good for your memory as well. And it's good
for your manhood as well.
Right? It's good for your it's number of other things it betters
the color of your skin and it improves your intelligence and
it's good, good
contribution to what you call it bettering your blood and and so
on. He says that male the male chicken the cockroach as such,
that is harder in in it and it's less moist. Now it's mcru
generally to eat of a chicken that is
is going around and eating indiscriminately
normally what they used to do, but normally it's mcru to do it if
it's changed its taste, and it's caused the stench in it, which
would mean has to be something really like to have a, probably a,
a health feed of that sense. Nowadays, if you look at the way
our chickens are bred unless you're eating proper free range,
then it's quite a sad fact. I mean, we don't even want to go
there. But generally, what they say is that if you do have one,
that's really, they just quarantine it for a few days with
pure food, and then it's fine. But it's not haram in any sense. In
fact, the orlimar have written that if an animal has drunk beer,
wine, whatever, then it will only become haram if it changes the
meat, the smell and everything like that, if it's so
overpowering, otherwise, generally animals I mean, they're not on a
particular date, halal diet like we are, though, having said that,
anybody who has kittens, cats, or even dogs, for that matter, like a
god dog or something like that, it's not permissible for you to go
and buy meat haram meat and feed it to him. This is very strange.
But essentially, in Islam, the apostle is that whatever, you
can't eat yourself, you can't feed somebody else. Right? So that also
tells us that if you buy something by mistake or given something,
which is haram, you can't go and give it to your non Muslim
neighbor. Because you should be thinking for them as you think for
yourself, just because it's halal for him or not haram for him
because he's not a Muslim doesn't mean it becomes harder for you. So
remember that you'd actually have to throw it away or return it to
the store, if you can. So those gelatine sweets, right that people
normally come with this question I've got Jared, can I give it to
my neighbor? No, you can't. Although it gelatine you might be
able to because there is an opinion of a number of scholars
that say it's okay because it goes through molecule change, but the
stronger opinion is not so then based on that you shouldn't if you
go with a stronger opinion, you shouldn't do that anyway. But
anything else that's clearly haram, It's haram. Not even
animals. So what is this, these animal foods that you get if it's
fish, it's okay, but if it's food, it's not going to be HMC meet, so,
maybe HMC doesn't need to look into
Halal animal foods. And to tell the truth, some Muslims should
think about it when some guy came up with Halal ties, halal ties,
because in the business world, you have to wear a tie. So most of
what's out there, especially in America and in other places.
What's out there is all made of silk. So this guy comes up with an
idea that he's going to make it out of non silk. So Halal animal
food, it's, I don't think it's being made somebody with a
business mind out there somebody who listens to this, maybe you can
think about it, because a number of people have asked this
question, so I mentioned it.
Otherwise, you'd have to cook for them at home. The next hadith is
164, which is related from Ibrahim Dibner. Omar, he raised his
grandfather Safina.
Now this Safina is a very interesting person. Sahabi Roddy,
Allah Juan, his name was Marin. He was you know where he was from. He
was from Afghanistan. He was from bulk in Afghanistan, and he went
to Madina Munawwara he became a Sahabi. Very strong man. So his
name was Iran. He became called Safina by the hola Juan and he
features quite prominently in the book expedition. Because you know,
the book was a very long, arduous journey. And people didn't have
you know, they were one animal to a few people. He was somebody who
was carrying many people's loads on his head. So they call him ship
Safina mean ship. So that became his name, Sofia and out of the
hola on the ship. So now you understand if somebody is fine
with that kind of a name, it's okay to call them them. If they're
fine with being called, I don't know.
Can you give me an example is a fun name, as he wouldn't say he
said the Prophet salallahu Salam that he gave me that name. So he
wanted to keep it right. But the bulk bulk is in Afghanistan
SubhanAllah. They that's one bulky who went all the way down there. I
mean, do we have any Indians who became Sahabi? I mean, think about
it, you know, any casualties? Any Punjabis. It's something to think
about? Because my research relates to bulk and the jurist of bulk so
one of the authors of mache bulk mill Hanafi is Iraqi scholar. He's
the first person you mentioned is Miranda Sahabi. He went from bulk.
So he tells you about the pupil of bulk from that age. They were from
that time they were going out there to go and learn about
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
So Safina Radi Allahu Anhu relates he says that a call to mA
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Lama houbara
eight with Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the meat of the
bustard b u s t ARD right? It's a bird. Okay?
It's called a busted or the boosted. Write. I'm not sure
because I've never had it. But I did find some description of it as
given by Elaine in his lexicon. He says it's a certain type of bird
well known. So apparently in those areas, it must have been more well
known,
of the form of the goose with a dust colored, with dust color upon
its head and belly, and the back and wings of which are for the
most part of the color of the quail. Or it is a long neck bird
of an ash color of the form of the goose with a beak somewhat long,
and that is preyed upon but does not itself prey upon others.
As Rocky says that it does not drink water and that it lays its
eggs in distant sands. The truth is that it drinks it does drink,
but seldomly like the camel, it drinks seldomly. The Mailbird has
a pouch extended from beneath the tongue to the breast set to be
large enough to contain seven quarts of water. And it has been
supposed by some, that he fills this with water for the supply of
himself and his mate.
He says, As Rocky further says that we use when we journeyed to
proceed in the mountains of Adana. And sometimes we picked up in one
day between four and eight of its eggs. It lays for eggs of a bluish
color, more delicious in taste and those of the domestic hen, and
then those are and then those of the ostrich, and others say that
it brings its food from a greater distance than any other bird. So
it hunts it goes much further to to get its food, sometimes from a
distance of many days journey. Also that it is constantly
provided with a thin excrement or dung which voids upon the hawk
when pursued by the latter, thus saving itself by preventing the
hawk from continuing its flight and as some say causing its
feathers to drop off and so on. Is it a slur Minh houbara Safina The
owner said I ate with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam ate the meat the
meat of this goose like bird called the busted it's a very fast
flyer and so on KVM says that again this has its meat is very
dry and hot and it's very slow to digest. That's why it says nerf
you're only as happy reorder you would be very beneficial for
people who are who what's the word who work out who who work out so
real the people who who do hard work who do hard labor or exercise
and those kinds of things. It's good for them because it's
probably more sustaining food. What darab and people who get the
you know who would do lots of tiring work in New Hampshire
Alaska and you relates that Imam Bukhari and Muslim they have
related the following items or animals that Rosa Lawson has
consumed. One is the meat of the wild donkey, not the domesticated
one. The Wild One. What is that? Well, a wild donkey, he model wash
the camel Of course. Rabbit rabbits. And has anybody tried
rabbit here? No rabbits are halal. I mean, you're talking about the
beaver the beaver there's a difference of opinion about but
the rabbit is definitely halal. Right? The rabbit is a lot of
carrots. Yes, that's right. And if you go to Morocco, you can
actually pick from a whole pile of snails to eat quite convenor. Have
you tried them? Subhanallah when you went to Morocco, they've got
these piles of snails and they do I mean a soup. So it's this whole
pot and like, wow, how can you eat this stuff? So the guy takes one
succeed right in. Right, like marrow? Exactly. Right? If that is
our taste, okay. So I did some research like because it's it's
Subhanallah you know, for the rest of us, but according to Imam
Malik, everything that is living like that is halal unless, unless
it's every insect is halal unless it's harmful for you, as only
according to Amharic, so you see these piles they make soup out of
it, And subhanAllah they eat it. So yes, these are what Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam has related to have consumed and Mr.
Muslim has also related that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam has
eaten from the bull bar, an animal of the sea. What that one is what
animal it is. That's difficult to say. But but see things I mean, we
know they're halal, for the most part anyway, that fish and
according to the other Imams other than the Hanafi school, anything
from the sea is halal, the way it is halal anyway, right, even
according to the Hanafi is according to the majority of
scholars there. And the author also mentioned that in this is
evidence that those who say meats should not be eaten. This flies in
the face of that because of course a lot of different types of meat.
But as you can see, we don't really see the cow meat mentioned
too much. We don't see beef we don't see goat we don't we don't
see it mentioned as much. Right. We don't see it as mentioned,
right. Because it was sometimes and then the other thing is I in
those days, it was difficult to preserve meat and things like
that. Anyway, it's just our cuisine today is not normal. It's
not normal. What used to be even 100 years ago maybe, right it's
It's really changed and it's changing day in and day out. Okay,
the next hadith is 165, which is related again from zamel. Jeremy
he says we were by Abu Musab al Sharia, the Allah one for, for
code, the matam to code the MFI to Army Lama the judge and His food
was served to him and in the food was chicken and waffles told me
Raja min Benny tame in La Mancha and who Mola there was a man among
the people in among those who are present, who was from the tribe of
the table, the team Allah, that this is a branch of the bundle
buckle tribe who are also called the law has him and he was
slightly reddish in complexion as though he was a slave of this or
something. Right. And he the Zaandam, the tabby or the
narrator, he says that follow me had no he did not come close, and
everybody else came to eat and he didn't come close. So Abu Musa
it's similar Hadees to the previous one, but it's slightly
different. When we started the Alana said to him, Do you know why
don't you come as well? Why are you staying behind? Because and
then we were started they may have understood already. So he said
because I saw Sudha LaSalle Allah who is a Colombian who find the
right Rasulillah Salam akademin I saw sort of lessons from eating
from it. So you've come close to need so the person said in the raw
Ito Yeah, crochet and for Cloudera, to who I saw eating
something reprehensible. So I found it reprehensible
essentially, for health to Allah Autorama. Who, and that's why I
made an oath took an oath that I will not eat from it a burden
forever. So that's where the blue side of the Allahu Anhu told him
about this. But then obviously, it was the we understand that he must
have given his reason first and then then what are the Alon said,
No, you should you should eat because of course a lot of Salam
has eaten from it. And the next hadith is from a seed immunother
beetle Madani Al Ansari, his name was Abdullah. He says Rasool allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said koulos Eight.
Consume olive oil
or olives, but consume olive oil. Zeta refers to the olive oil,
right? zaytoun is the olives. So consume olive oil.
Now, how do you continue it's very difficult to just consume olive
oil just like that because it has a burning sensation in the in the
throat, especially the good ones. Is that me meaning with bread, you
eat it as a condiment with bread, what the heat will be here and
also you oil yourself with it. So use it to oil yourself with Now
this obviously must show that it's mobile anyway, is permissible to
use. So the promise that I'm saying use it to oil yourself with
what what do you think he means then by that?
If something is permissible to use anyway, person doesn't have to
confirm it and is halal as well. There was no confusion about
today's to eat it anyway. So it obviously then shows that he's
showing a higher level that he's showing that it's Mr. hub to do
it. He's showing virtue about it, right in this case, that use it
it's good for you in the sense that it's for in a home in
sheduled a T Mobile raka because it is from a blessed tree which
Allah says in the Quran. So there you've got the reason for that.
Why is it from a blessed tree because its primary place of
growth was in the blessed lands and SWANA you go from Jerusalem to
Tel Aviv bhandal What's What's the original I forgot the Arabic name?
Pablo. I think I forget the original Yafa and on the way
that's all you see, mashallah, these rows and rows of it, you see
it in Spain as well. Right and I'm sure you see in Italy, I haven't
been to sleep I've seen in Spain, and I've seen it there as well. So
BarakAllahu li Halal al Amin, Allah subhanaw taala has blessed
it has made that area blessed for the people. And it says Baraka via
sobre una Nebia minimum Ibrahim Ali Salam, there are 70 prophets
who have prayed for blessing in that area of the sham as such is
among which was Ibrahim alayhis salam. And then obviously if the
tree is blessed it then it's fruit is going to be blessed it and if
it's fruit is blessing the zaytoun then that blessing is going to be
in its oil as well. And so highlights cholesterol free, one
of the very few oils that are cholesterol free, which is our
jeep, despite its its Dishoom despite its oiliness, right. It's
it's cholesterol free, so you can use it for both of these things.
In fact, in another Hadith says, it can be hard the shujaa Alma
Baraka zaytoun fetida will be he for in Abu Musa Hatton, Miguel de
su Imam Torani has related this, that
adopt this tree in a sense that use this tree, you know, take it
to use it, this blessed tree and the oil of it.
Use it for your medicinal purpose.
It says because it is a cure for Basu basora is Baba seed, would
you call that? Piles There you go piles and abou name relates from
Aqua ignore animal. What are the Alikum? Busy? No, that that
previous one was from Ubuntu as well. Then another Hadith is on a
camiseta zaytoun For Kulu who had the Shinobi final yeah for en
phenomenal Basu, again, a similar Hadith that it's a benefit, it
benefits when somebody has piles as well, if no Sunni has related
this, another Hadith is different. Abu Huraira Dion says that use the
olive oil, because it has a cure for 7070 illnesses, among which is
Judaism. And Judaism is leprosy, which is quite severe. So it has a
benefit of 70 Ibaka yam says that using it in hot climates like the
Hijaz, for example, right the western border of Arabia, they, it
would be considered beneficial to oil yourself with it as well to
apply it on your body and your hair. And the reason is that,
in fact, it would be probably necessary because very dry, and
it's very useful in that sense. However, it says in cold climates,
and I remember one of our teachers told us this as well that you
know, when your oil your hair, it just depends if you if it's a cold
weather, then be careful about oil in your hair, because then it will
attract a lot of cold. Because When oil gets cold, it's cold.
Right? So that Kim says that as well that in cold climates, it
would be harmful for you to use too much of it, for example, in
your hair. And there's copper, which means that there's a danger
of it impairing your vision as well, maybe because of the cool
the coal that will come into here. So you know, when we relate when
you see anything like that everything has to be done in
moderation. Just because it works awesome said something, it doesn't
mean that you then have to drink a cup of it. Because that's not the
point. The point is to use it in a particular method, just like with
honey as well. I mean, I've seen some people, they've got diabetes,
but then they think that because honey has Schieffer in it, they
two to three tablespoons in a cup of tea. I mean, that's no joke.
You know,
there's a wave there just because of the law. Some said it's got
Allah subhanaw taala says Shiva doesn't mean you drink a whole
bottle. Those that you get from Costco, those big ones. And the
next Hadith which we'll leave for next time is about the God
and the province of Lhasa, Mr. Love God. It's a very simple,
simple tasting food. Right, it doesn't have a particular strong
kind of taste of any sort. It's just a very simple, very bland
kind of food. But it borrows a lot from us to learn.
Squash, you can call it a squash as well, but squash I would
normally consider to be round. Right? But it doesn't have to be
the God is the nominee, the green long ones. Yeah, the the kind of
like a narrow gods is many, many different varieties, then you get
the round ones like the pumpkin and so on. But this is the long
one, very smooth skin hard. And it's wiped inside with a few
seeds. A very kind of bland tasting, but the profit or loss
I'm used to eat and in the next slide, if you mentioned very
clearly, that growth allows us to actually look for that in the
food. So inshallah we'll, in order to conclude today, though, we've
looked at the busted now that's something I don't know where we're
gonna go to get that one. But it's like
these chefs, they go to different places to get things like one of
them went to hunt puffins so that he could eat Puffin, you know, the
bird. So the busted might be available up there in Saudi Arabia
somewhere. Right? Anybody knows how to source it? Let me know.
The other thing was, what else did what else did we speak about
today? Vinegar was another one. But in terms of vinegar, I've seen
it eaten in many different ways that is quite convenient. One is
that you just in the morning or in the night, just take a spoon of
it. But then in the condiment sense, right? You know, we
sometimes mix it with different types of food, you put it on your
fish and chips. It's not really the same thing, right?
One way to make it easy to eat as a condiment, I went to one
scholars house and there was something a little condiment was
quite sweet as what is this? Essentially it was a vinegar in
which dates had been preserved and left for a while. So it becomes
sweet. It's quite convenient to eat it. Another thing that I
discovered recently, which is very good, but then for that, you have
to get good vinegar, you have to get the balsamic vinegar, right,
because that's thicker. The Balsamic Vinegar has a percentage
of grape must and the rest is vinegar. And you put some of that
you put some olive oil on top so you'll get both and the vinegar
will always stay at the bottom. Because it's a thick brown. It's
not as pungent as normal vinegar. It's very smooth tasting. It's
actually edible, just slightly sour, in a sense. So it's
different from your normal vinegars. And then you've got the
the olive oil on top and you you dip warm bread in it. Absolutely
fantastic. Right and insha Allah
If you do it for the Sunnah, within moderation, it will also be
a sense of reward as well. People keep asking why to they they say,
red wine vinegar, is it Hello, I get a call right red wine vinegar.
Is it okay or not? The thing is that all vinegars primarily are
made through the wine process. It's a stage after the wine
process. So even if it has a percentage of alcohol remaining
and it's vinegar at the end of the day, unless it's a special type of
exotic something in which wine is there, and you know, whatever, I
don't know of anything like that. But generally vinegar is made
after wine. They make my wine and then make the an off product of
that is the vinegar.
Right, so it all comes from vinegar and comes from apple cider
vinegar, red, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, and I don't
know what else there is that's available. So that should be fine.
