how I even got a beta in Atlanta Lou Habana wama Jacobi Toyota, so
if I could work there.
So this last hadith is the one we'll be covering today. I'll
quickly do a translation of it. So we know what the story is. It's a
long account of something that took place which goes to highlight
the status of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and
two of his most closest companions. In fact, two of the
most superior people after the prophets are the humans salaam Abu
Bakr and Umar Radi Allahu Anhu. So it mentions here related from Abu
Huraira the Allahu Allah since this is related from Abu Huraira
or the Allahu, and it gives an indication that this is something
that happened
towards the later Madani life of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in
the last few years of Rasulullah sallallahu salaams life in Madina
Munawwara so this is not an early early
occasion, which gives us an understanding that that was an
occasion when wealth had started to come into Madina Munawwara and
yet the situation still took place. So there is indication in
this hadith that this did not take place in the earlier days where
there was need, there was a great need and people were generally
suffering from an in an inability to raise their expenses for daily
means. So it mentions that once Abu Huraira the Allah one release
that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam once went out in a time
that he would not normally go out is normally maybe the heat of the
afternoon, people didn't normally go out.
And normally, that was also not a time when people came to visit him
when I Ulta, who I hadn't fee her well, I have coffee I had and
Normally people would not visit him during that time because
people would be resting for a day. That's why one person told me he
went to the emirate Dubai once and you know with any other place when
you go you've only got one or two days you go and make the most of
it go out and do whatever you have to do. And he says he went out in
the afternoon, two minutes. He was totally drenched. He didn't see
anybody around. He was wondering why in a city like that there's
nobody else around then the person in the hotel told him there's no
time when people go out, right because it's just too hot to go
out this time when people do that payroll and take their siesta.
So he Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went out during
this time, and suddenly he meets Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah one.
So that's really
unusual encounter at a time and that would normally not happen. So
he asked Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah Juan magia because yeah,
Abubaker what brought you out something must have brought you
out Abu Bakr.
He said, his response was, I have come out to meet, Azul, allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and look at his face and give salam to
him.
Now, we learned from another narration that it was actually
he was hungry, come out to find some food. But in here, he
mentioned this, one of the commentators, moderna Rashid Ahmed
Congo, he in his comments on this, he says, la la Zhu Husar Rahman
see and Bureau at Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, maybe
his hunger depleted, it was hunger disappear just by seeing
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, and he he explained this, and there
could be many intentions for coming out anyway.
They hadn't. It hadn't been
a very long time.
After this meeting, when sun Yamato the Allahu Anhu comes
along. So Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam asked him what brought you
out here, Omar? He said, hunger Rasulillah he said Hungria Rasool
allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said,
I'm also experiencing some of that.
I also had some experience with some of that, in the sense that I
also felt some hunger. So they went to the house of herbal
Haytham iblue de Haroun Al Ansari.
He is a Sahaba you don't hear much about, but he's the one Sahabi
that the prophets of Allah chose to go to his house at that time.
So you can imagine that there must be something about him that was
chosen at this strange time to God.
He was a man that had numerous palm trees, date trees and lots of
sheep. Go
He didn't have any.
He didn't have any servants though. Or slaves. He didn't have
any servants at his service. When they got they didn't find him. So
they said to his wife, where's your husband, she said, he's gone
to bring some, some good water for us. Because in those days, you had
to call to write the write well to bring some pleasant and good water
for them to drink.
They just waited for a short while when I will hate them came back
with this last large water skin, trying to drag it because it was
very heavy trying to drag it and bring it along. And he put it in,
he placed it in the house. And then he came and saw sort of La
Salallahu Alaihe. Salam quickly went and embraced him. He hugged
him very closely where you have D He will be he will owe me. And he
began to say, me, my mother and father be sacrificed for you
literally giving himself to Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam,
and presenting himself for his service. And then he says, Let's
go to his orchard. So he took them to his orchard, and he spread a
duster horn for them.
He spread something for them to eat on. And he then went into the
groves and brought back a bunch of dates, in which both there was the
hard unripened dates yet and some right dates, those that are my
moist and those that are still yellowish or green, which which
are heard, and they're not fully ripened yet. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him, when you just bring the
rooftop, why did you not just bring those that had ripened, so
then at least these they can become ripe as well. So he said,
Yeah, Rasul Allah, I wanted that you choose whichever one you want
to eat, because the others you can also eat them as well, different
tastes, that you choose from both the unripe or the ripe. So they
they set in first aid that and then they drank from some of the
water that he had brought, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and his attention you can see it's always on Allah subhanaw
taala and connecting things that happen in this world to Allah
subhanaw taala, which shows Kamal Almighty for it shows complete
Gnosis and recognition of Allah subhanaw taala. He said this, by
by the one whose hand is is my life, this is of those bounties
which you will be asked about on the Day of Judgment.
Will he lumbered waterborne Lee warmer and buried this
cool shade that we're sitting in, and these really excellent dates,
excellent ripe dates, and this cool otter, you will be asked
about them, it's indicates that this was not some the normal,
the normal cuisine of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam to enjoy food in
this way. So this was one of the ways where you'd be asked, and it
gives us an understanding that normally, you know, when you go to
some extra nice place to eat, we tend to forget Allah subhanho wa
Taala we should be specially thinking of Allah subhanho wa
Taala at that time, then I will hate them went to produce to
prepare some food for us will Allah Allah so this was just the
the you can say the, the status as such. And that's why Malawi, he
writes that when you do offer food to someone, the best food to offer
first is fruit, because it's natural, and it's the best to lie
at the bottom of the stomach, within a you know, under the
understanding that the person hasn't just eaten, right. So fruit
is a good thing. Normally, unfortunately, our culture's fruit
comes at the end for some reason. But you could make a fruit salad,
a proper salad with fruit. And that will where you will get your
veggies and your because they also speak about the benefits of hada
Robert, which means the greens, so you could make a nice combination
of a fruit and vegetable salad. Right? And that would be joining
and combining between the two. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told
him he knew that this Sahabi was gonna go all out. And he would
just take the best thing that he had. So the prophets Allah
lorrison We had consideration isn't that oh, we only going there
once. Let him bring it man. You know, let him let him spend let
him Let him come up with it. He said that Hannah learner, that rim
don't sacrifice one that gives milk because you could use that
for milk sacrifice another one that doesn't. So he sacrificed a
child of a goat or a sheep that was not one year old yet. So a
young young
kid, either a male or a female is not sure whether it was male or a
female to you mentioned both, and he brought it to them and eight.
So now you can understand that he sacrificed it. He proved he
prepared it, cooked it and then he brought
shirts,
and
they waited. You can see this is not just some quick fix this was
really something that he prepared properly. But you can also
understand that they were hungry. In the beginning, that's what
they'd gone. Therefore, he understood that. So immediately he
brought what he could straight away. He didn't say, Wait, I'm
going to make sure that the presentation is great. And before
that you can't sit to eat, there's places like that where you go,
unfortunately, a lot of these weddings are like that, where you
have to go and just wait for hours, and you're hungry. And it
just causes a lot of criticism. And it's just wrong. You can't
manage it. And it's going to take you two hours to produce something
extra, then don't do it, give them something simple. So that's very
important that people should keep their time when it comes to food.
Because the stomach is something which when people are hungry, then
they start saying all sorts of things. If you're calling people
to give you thanks, and make dua for you. By delaying your food,
you're causing them to give you anger. It's really a sad fact. So
one needs to be really careful about that. I remember once I
didn't know about these things, and I was really hurrying to get
to a place at six o'clock where they had said so. And I went to
visit somebody just before six. And I said look, I have to go
because it's he goes don't worry about it. They're not going to
feed until two hours yet I said no Mondays at six o'clock we need to
go is that seriously don't so I then I pushed it for another half
an hour. So I got there a half, six and I had to wait until nine
o'clock.
I had to wait until nine o'clock. So it's it's really a big waste of
time. Another friend of mine who's an acronym, he says that whenever
he's invited to food, he just asked him straight forward. What
time he said they say six, seven. Now up kidnapper. Kilang. Like,
you know, just tell me honestly, what time are you going to feed?
So they say okay, Hafeet take me out guys. You know, I'll come out
of it. It's okay if that if it's okay, if you've got nothing in the
world better to do than sit down and just chat. You know, every
week, you've got an invitation to go to it's okay. But if you're
busy, then it's difficult. Right? And you have to take into
consideration that people could be busy.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him when he's
seen that he's doing everything, he's doing everything. And there
is no high demand. That was the society they had heard him say
they had servants. So he said, Don't you have a hard time? Don't
you have a servant? And he said, No. So he says, okay, when we get
the next batch of prisoners that come and they have to be
distributed among the people that come to us. So when the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam was brought to there was exactly two that were
brought and there was an A third among them, I will hate them.
Either coincidentally came or he came purposely knowing that the
prophets of Allah Aeneas alums, told him to come. So the prophets,
Allah lorrison said, choose one of these two, he said, yada yada you
choose for me, knowing that he would obviously make the better
choice. So the Prophet salallahu Salam, again, every aspect of
Rasulullah sallallahu was to teach them something he says in the law,
Mr. Shah and Waterman. He says the one who is consulted is put in a
position of trust to give the right make the right decision,
you'll put your is as you're putting me on the spot in a sense
that you're not in a negative and a positive way that since you've
told me to choose, then I have to be very honest, in my choice, take
this one, because I've seen him praying. I've seen him make solid.
So take this one, and make sure you deal with him excellently make
sure you deal with him well, so I will. Haytham then went with him
to his wife, and he told her what I saw Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam
had advised so
mashallah, when a woman is pious, you could see that her penetrative
insight in applying the advice of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam seemed to be even greater than her husband's. So she says,
You will not be able to fulfill the right of what Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam told you to do, like deal with him well, to the
best for him in a sense like that. Unless he she says that you
unless you free him. Now look, the the headmaster was going to be for
her. It was going to be a great help for her as well. But her
whole focus, if somebody's focuses the hereafter, they can make major
sacrifices in this world, which would just
totally surprise others. So he didn't think of that. But it was
his wife that thought of that. So he said, he's free. The Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam got to hear about this. And he said that Allah
subhanaw taala has not sent any profits, or any person in this
world, except Califa, meaning a representative an item because the
items are representative of the profits, except that he has given
them to very close associates. Between the turn that would
actually refers to the lining. It's so close, it's closer to the
body than the outer outer part, the outer surface which is seen by
others. So it's two very close intimates.
Each one of these intimate associates will instruct him and
command him to do the good and will prevent him from the wrong
and the other one will not, will will not prevent him from the
battle and the wrong and whoever is protected in whichever way from
the evil associate, then he has really been protected. So that is
the very long incident in this hadith, which is related by Imam
telemovie here. So now let's look at it in more detail and look at
the lessons that have been drawn from this hadith. And because
every aspect of this gives us some lessons, so initially, it's Abu
Huraira, the Allahu Anhu reporting the Hadith. And that gives us an
indication that this was in the last few years of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam life.
So
it's a time when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would
normally not go out, and a time when people would not normally
come to visit him because socially that was not normally done at that
time. Suddenly, Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allahu Anhu comes about and he
asks him, what brought you so
he says that he came to America to visit to see rasool Allah Salah
was to meet him and to look at his face and to Tasleem Ali to give
salaam to him
to give salaam to him to look at his face. This is the most
knowledgeable person with the rights of Rasulullah sallallahu.
I'm saying that to look at Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam.
And he said it clearly too. And the Prophet Solomon said you said
didn't say that's not an every brother. Right so that for us it
has many connotations from a jurisprudence theological
perspective that such a thing is not a better to do. Because you're
having somebody like Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah and saying
that for as long as and didn't say La hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah
focus on Allah don't focus on me. Right? Because the Prophet said
Allah Islam is a means to rasool Allah to Allah subhana wa Tada.
So, one must take that into understanding.
I remember once when they read the first chapter of Shamal, in one in
one place, and one person came and he found that really strange,
because he had entered into a really extreme dry form of
anti Sufism, I would call it you can call it whatever name you
want. And he said that, looking at these descriptions of Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam that's missing the point the focus is wrong. It's
kind of idol worship, while the mountain with he didn't think so.
And this hadith proves that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is
coming to be a worker city radiologist coming to see him as
one of one of the reasons. Now the question is
there was it was one action, one activity, him coming all the way.
But many intentions, he mentioned three himself, right to look at
him. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi, salam, salam, and to to meet him.
So that gives us an understanding that the one who knows how to get
the best from Allah subhanho wa taala. You know, like you see some
people in the world, they do the same thing that you do, but they
get more out of it. Because they know how to play the ropes. They
know that if they do this as well, they'll get this as well. And they
do a bit extra, they'll get this as well, you didn't know you just
did the one thing and came back. Right? Well, this is the spiritual
aspect of it. So he's coming with all of these intentions, you know,
he's got all of these intentions in mind. So he's got three rewards
already, or three different types of rewards, not just the one
reward. So when you go to visit even your relatives, you could
have multiple intentions. I'm going to do Scylla to Rahim, I'm
going to I'm going to tie the knots of kinship I've been told
that Allah will give me Baraka because of that, you know, someone
might be ill Well, you know, for example, if you traveled from
here, up north, it's nowadays it cost over 100 pounds, just the
petrol. That's really expensive. Now, you must get something for
that. So your good intention would be that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada has
encouraged us to do this, our sudo, allah sallallahu has
encouraged us to do this, you get baraka and blessing from all of
these things. So there are other mentioned that look at this, he is
expressing these three things. And this gives us an understanding
that this is the this is what you get from having a really good
understanding of how to make intentions and how you're
rewarding them and that model Binya, that's why it's so powerful
that that hadith is so powerful. And the thing is that the one
who's going to be more knowledgeable about Allah subhanho
wa Taala and his ways and his generosity and the way he gives,
they're going to get more out of it, because they know the ropes in
this case.
So soon, Amara, the Allahu Anhu also comes along and he
He was he was asked, Why did you come because it was a strange time
to come. And he said, Yeah rasool Allah,
I came because of feeling hungry, looking for some food, I'll find
something somewhere. So this obviously doesn't mean that he's
necessarily have a completely lower status than a Bakr Siddiq or
the hola Juan.
Because it doesn't mean that he didn't also intend what Abu Bakr
Siddiq really alone intended. Maybe he saw them and he just
said, I'm going to just tell them this is this is what it is from
from afar. And he decided to tell him that. And
the the main reason that I'd taken him out of the house was the
hunger set, as he mentioned, just the main reason, whereas I'm a
worker Siddiq or the alarm seem to have forgotten that reason
mentioned the other reason, although obika City Guardian also
came out because he was hungry as well, that was another reason.
And
he didn't know he was going to get some food. But he knew that if he
goes to the zoo, allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam by sitting and
talking to Rasul Allah benefiting from him, seeing him and so on,
that will at least occupy his mind from it, because that was just a
very powerful way to occupy your mind from anything else to get the
benefit from sort of allah sallallahu sallam, he was just
clear, I came because I was hungry. He doesn't know he's gonna
get food by us what Allah because Allah loves him hardly ever had
food himself. So it wasn't that he thought he's gonna get food. So he
was coming to Rasulullah sallallahu his house, which means
that he was going to visit him, although it was the hunger that
took him out. But that hunger was going to be suppressed by visiting
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. It mentions in another
version of this hadith in Sahih, Muslim from Abu Huraira, the
Allahu Akbar as well, that suddenly it was all Bucha and
Amara, suddenly, maybe he saw them a burqa and aroma. And it seems
that they both came together or that could have been on a
different different time, where they both came together. They just
happen to come together and I sort of Lhasa Lawson said Maharaja como
Minwoo ut coma, what took you out of your homes at this time? So he
said I'll do they both said hunger Yeah, Rasul Allah, they both said
hunger rasool Allah. So in that case, a worker Sadiq rhodiola, and
also made it very clear that he came out for hunger. So it may be
that it happened more than once. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said,
I'm also feeling some hunger. And we know that he didn't have to eat
in some cases, and, and so on. So this could have been the either he
was feeling a bit of hunger, or that he just said it to make them
feel. sympathize with them, make them feel more comfortable than to
share in the agony about it. And this gives us a lesson, that
there's nothing wrong. I mean, generally, complaints are not a
good idea. We're discouraged from making complaints, and from
expressing problems and so on. But there's nothing wrong with
mentioning it if it's not in the form of a complaint, if it's just
there to express your feeling. For some reason, there's nothing wrong
with that we're human beings we can feel we can express that like
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam shed some tears because of when his
grandma when his Graham child passed away, and they were
surprised that about that clarified for them that is nothing
wrong with shedding if you do, it's quite natural to, to do that,
as long as it's not out of great expression of complaint and so on.
And the reason why they were all in this case, as in the despite
the fact that this was the time of conquest, where the prophets
Allah, Allah son was getting so much in in terms of booty and so
on, and the Sahaba as well. But despite that, they were in this
state. It goes to show that just as been mentioned before, that
most of it used to be given out they will all three were the same
that used to be given out whatever they got, they distributed pretty
much instantly. There's a hadith related in Bosnian Muslims, Abu
Huraira, the Allahu under the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam of all Herrera, the alone says the Brosa lorrison departed
from this world, and he would not normally satiate himself from the,
from the bread made out of body. And when he passed away his coat
of armor, we famously know we know right? It's popularly known that
his coat of armor was by a Jew, because he had borrowed some money
from him. In fact, the money that had been borrowed from him was to
do with barley that he had borrowed from him for his family
and the gate he had given him his his his his chain of armor for as
a security for that right for his own food that he gives out
whatever he has, and he has to get this for himself. So they went to
a will Haytham his house immunity immunity when his name was
honorable hearth.
And sorry, some say he was actually from the coda, the
Qaddafi tribe, but he was an ally of the uncertain that's why they
just relate to him as the answer. And
in another Hadith, he actually mentioned that this was a ubelong
Sorry.
So
It's possible that this happened more than once.
Right? So it's possible once it was a good immunity one at a time
it was. Well, you wouldn't sorry. But on the other one, but it
wasn't unsightly, it was definitely an unsightly, they were
probably the most established people there because they were
from Madina Munawwara anyway.
And in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala says that there's nothing
wrong with you. And there's nothing wrong with you going and
eating from your mother's house, your father's house, your
brothers, sisters, and so on. Oh, Sadiq pecan, or your friend's
house. Now, if this person is one that probably doesn't feel
comfortable going to, then he's also deeply committed a Sadiq of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, especially from among them.
So that's an honor, that's an honor that somebody chooses your
house to come to. So for example, if somebody is visiting from
another city, and they have about 10 Different relatives or friends
that they can go to they choose your house, it's an honor that we
can come. We want to come and eat at your house. You mustn't think
well, why my house you know, you got 10 other people, while we're
giving you the honor to do that, normally, people fight over this
Alhamdulillah most cultures are good about this. They do speak
about this. They do like to it's just the way people do it
sometimes. And we'll understand from this as well. There was no
fried food that was given here as you notice. It was fruits that
were offered. That's why there's a recommendation of offering fruits
in the beginning the dates and so on.
I remember I went to the house when I went to Morocco last year.
i We visited the Mufti of Morocco is a shaker that will Sheikh
Mohammed that will he's the Mufti of the Maliki's of, of the Mufti
of the scholars of
Morocco.
What do you know what they offered what He offered us? It was a plate
of dates and milk.
Our Jeep? It was, you don't see that around here. That was the
kind of different cups of milk or glasses of milk and big bowl of
dates. I wonder what people would say in our community, if you if
you offer the milk?
You know, you have to have falooda
you know, it has to be colored. Right? pure milk is not good
enough.
Sure, but so when they got there,
they notice that he didn't have he didn't I mean, it was a matter of
fact that he didn't have any servants. So they said to his
wife, they didn't find him around. So they must have been speaking to
his wife and she said he's not around said where's your Where's
your husband said he's gone to bring us some Sweetwater yesterday
bulan Wilma, either mean sweet, pleasant, so he'd gone to get some
water for us. And the whole fact about pleasant water and so on.
It's important to understand that there's a hurricane and and
there's nothing wrong with having pleasant water to drink. You know,
it's not necessarily going to have tepid hot water. You know, if you
don't enjoy it, unless you're doing it for medicinal diet
purposes, different story. It's not against essentially the alarm
I mentioned. It's not against zoom to do that.
This is a hobby, he doesn't have a servant. But yeah, he's going to
get pleasant water because it's a matter of life. Right? So one
needs to understand that there's nothing wrong with that.
In fact, Imam Shafi says that drinking cool water will will will
make your praise of Allah subhanaw taala even more sincere when it
should do that. It should do that. In an in the hadith of Muslim when
his wife came, she said marhaba Helen, welcome. Welcome. That
means Welcome
to Bina it's more heaven is
the whole combination of this island was Sahana, no Marhaba.
It's to do with you've come. It's like a dua saying you've Your
journey has been easy. You've come treading over soft soil. And we
welcome you.
What I have now become more haben.
Which gives us an understanding here that this concept of modesty
that what is the concept of modesty, if somebody comes to your
house, now this is Sahaba, right? Wife of a Sahabi Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam is the guest along with two of the other
Sahaba. She didn't just say,
my husband's not here.
Right? She welcomed them. She said, come he'll be you know he's
gone to she explained the situation. So there's nothing
wrong with explaining that level. Right? What is wrong is when you
just start becoming informal and chatting away as though your
friends, right? That's where it gets wrong. But there's absolutely
nothing wrong with a formal kind of explanation, just putting them
into the picture of what's going on. Unfortunately, we have many
extremes. Some people will just not speak at all, they'll just
wait there as though nothing. And they think that the hijab of the
voice is such that you can't even speak and it just inconveniences
that other person they just waiting on what should I say? What
should I do? Right? I've seen this level. And then there's the other
level of just extreme just coming out and you know, yeah,
Come in you alone, you know, one guy goes alone to somebody's
house. And there's many people that do this. You go singly to
somebody's house to visit somebody, and the wife will let
you in. And she'll sit in the room and talk to you until the husband
comes, that's wrong. That shouldn't happen. Unless there's a
there's an open veranda or something of that nature where
they see to you where it's public, and she's she just makes you sit,
then she She's inside. But this, there's two extremes to this,
which needs to be understood that you need to let them know what's
going on at least, and put them into the picture. Tell them if
they're going to come or not, oh, look, he's not going to be back,
you know, if there's something I can help you with or something and
then call us, you know.
So suddenly, I will hate them then did come come around as well. And
as I said, earlier, he came with this large water skin was trying
to handle it because it was very large. And he was trying to drag
it and bring it along, and he put it down. And then he was so
excited. He went and
hugged the Prophet sallallahu wasallam there are some aroma Imam
Malik I believe he doesn't agree with hugging hugging as much it
seems. But this is the opinion of Sophia Norina. And the generally
the aroma that is it's good to do the hugging, because as Sophia and
Ariana said is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
hugged Jaffa or the Allah one as well. And so that's, we understand
that from there that if you haven't seen somebody, it's a good
idea to hug them as well. And when you see he will be he will omit
this is specifically something for a sole allah sallallahu Oleoresin,
which is to say, me, my mother and father be sacrificed for you. If
my mother and father be sacrificed to you, then I'm sacrifice for you
as well, presenting himself that I'm completely out at your
service. I'm extremely honored to be with you telling me what what I
can do for you. In a hadith of Muslim. There's an additional part
that's mentioned here that will Haytham said when he saw
Alhamdulillah, he said all praises to Allah. There is nobody today,
probably saying nobody today on the face of this earth, who has
better guests than I have. So he was really over the moon. Nobody
better with better guests than I have. And then he Straight away he
organizes let's go to the orchard. Right, let's go to the orchard.
You know, like somebody maybe owns the restaurant or takeaway has a
nice guy. But let's go let's let's go get something. Right. So they
went and to his garden. And he put down the stop hunt even though it
was outside he put down so that shows us that there's an adverb of
placing something on before you eat on the ground, for example.
And then he went and he picked up some a bunch of dates, and he
brought them back and also allah sallallahu sallam said, Why did
you bring the unripe ones, the drier ones. So he said, I want you
to take whatever you want from there. And what this gives us an
understanding that if you see how fast he's doing things, he is
thinking on the fly, he's doing things very fast. This gives us an
understanding that when guests come and they are hungry, for
example, it's most apt to do things as far as possible. And
whatever's there, you give them that first, then you go and
prepare what you have to prepare. So he gave them what was available
first, but there wasn't enough to fill the stomach, maybe they were
really hungry, or he just wanted to go all out that would have been
sufficient because they that's what they ate every day anyway,
but he wanted to really go out. So this gives us an understanding
that if that was their food everyday that they would just
normally have dates Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, but he gave
them extra it gives us an understanding that for your guests
you can do extra. And that's why Malawi for example, is discussed
this in great detail. And he's saying that you can cook a lot of
foods because he says that whatever food you cook for, the
guest is baraka in it. So he says if you're cooking extra, a lot,
even more than what you think the guests will eat, then there's
nothing wrong with that if it's done with the intention to get the
bulk of the food that I'm going to cook six dishes I know the guests
will will will hardly eat much of that and I'll have four dishes
left. Right as our teacher here did when we went to his house,
right? When you cook like everything under the sun mashallah
Allah reward you, right inshallah His intention was good with that.
So that when that whatever you've cooked for the guests in his great
Baraka in there, you're going to cook things later, but at least
the wife will get a holiday for the next week then. Right? Because
she's got six dishes mashallah and the guest only ate one dish or two
dishes or whatever, so you can eat the rest.
So, that's a good thing. For example, he mentions in the Quran,
Therma Elisabetha and JBH LinHai neath Ibrahim Ali salaam, that as
soon as the guests arrived very shortly, he brought what a roasted
animal a roasted, roast for them. That was fast. Right in ask them,
you're going to you're going to do this. He just went and he brought
it. So it shows that he bought the best of what he had. He did it
quickly, and he didn't ask them about it.
So what normally the encouragement is that you can gather everything
together in is that go and bring what's easy for you to bring
without going into effort. Not
something that's going to be perish perishable afterwards, and
you put it in front of the guests, if they eat Alhamdulillah, if they
don't eat, it's not wasted anyway, because you didn't go to so much
effort to make it and doesn't have to be thrown away. So that's the
best thing.
That's what they say, bring it and don't just and there are some
cultures, they don't ask, they just bring, and there are other
cultures, they'll ask and make you feel embarrassed and all the rest
of it. Right and that's just a big waste of time.
I found that to be the easiest, you just bring something something
basic and if they don't need to handle it, put it back. But don't
don't make this big thing and have to put the oil on and fry the
samosas all the time. You know, especially when you're visiting
five, six people and everybody has to give you some choices. I mean,
Subhan Allah,
Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran wertha kiya, me Maya the
higher rune will allow me to add my stone even there the fruit
comes first. And fucky fucky means fruits me my at the higher rune,
whatever they choose, whatever their preferences while we tie it
in, and the the meat of birds mash the whole again, whatever their
heart desires. So the it comes afterwards this seems fruit always
comes first. So they ate and they drank from that water. And the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said, By the way, whose hand my
knifes is
these, this is the kind of bounty which you will be asked about on
the Day of Judgment.
So, in the hadith of Muslim in the other narration, it mentions that
After they had eaten it looks like they ate to their filth, whatever
that was right. The 1/3
I mean, essentially we are problem in taraweeh people burping and so
on. It's because we don't leave. I mean what the Prophet sallallahu
sallam said 1/3 for water 1/3 For for food and 1/3 for the air. If
we did that you wouldn't have to burp because they'd be placed in
the stomach for the air to circulate. But when you stuffed
the food all the way up to the top and the water has to kind of
filter through the knees absolutely no place for the air
except outside. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam after
they had fully satiated themselves, the prophets Allah
some set of worker normal or the Allah one by the women whose hand
my enough's is lettuce, Luna and her the Noreen yo Malkia you will
be asked about this on the Day of Judgment. So he he said that to
them at the end, not in the beginning to make them feel
guilty. Don't eat too much. He asked. He said that to them at the
end. They needed to eat he let them eat the heat that was human
need for them to eat. He said it to them at the end.
And then he says uh huh Roger coming booty come I'll do. Hunger
had taken you out of your house, from Milan TOJIRO Hatha, Asaba
Comhar the name, you are so hungry, you had nothing in your
house, and it caused you to go out and now you're not returning
except that ALLAH subhanaw taala has given you these bounties and
this was a inshallah to Allah subhanaw taala says Allah Aluna
Yama is in and in nerim You will be asked on that day, about the
bounties and the whole reason he's not making them feel guilty about
it. He just saying make sugar. Because if this is a good thing
that's happened to you, you will hungry Allah has given you this
bounty. He's just telling them and encouraging them to make sugar to
Allah subhanho wa taala. And to just just focus on that, that was
it. That was the whole idea that now that you've got this mixture
to Allah subhanaw taala.
And then he explained the lumbered, it's this cool shade,
rotor Boon tube, this excellent ripe dates and Martin Burdette.
Pleasant, sweet water.
I will, Haytham then went to make some food for them. And the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said don't sacrifice the
one that gives milk, because obviously that can be used for
another purpose as well.
It mentions in the hadith of Muslim, which seems to be a more
detailed narration, that he took the knife and probably salah, some
saw that he was going to what he was going to do. So then he told
him, he instructed him to not do that.
Because they were head over heels in love with Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam. So he thought if he if he does the one with the milk, then
it's gonna be harmful for the family. So let me just tell him,
You don't need to do that one that shows that you must be considerate
of your guest.
And what it mentions about can you go to a hosts house and demand
that he makes something or the other said that if you're casual
with him, if you're friends with them, you can do that as long as
you know that it's something they can do. Otherwise, you mustn't do
that. Have you got any good chili sauce? I mean, a guy is gonna have
to go to the shop to get some because he doesn't have any chili
sauce. Right? So unless you know these things, then don't otherwise
it makes them feel embarrassed. So he went and he then sacrificed a
young kid less than a year old goat or a sheep and it was a male
or a female and then the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam asked him
if he had heard him or not. And he said no, and he says come when
When I do have one, what that shows is that to return a favor to
someone, the the net amount and the bounty is actually coming from
Allah subhanaw taala there's no doubt about that. But it's being
manifested this bounty is being manifested at the hands of someone
else. So now we think Allah subhanaw taala directly, but we
also think the manifestation, the place, and the locus of the
manifestation of this bounty of Allah subhanaw taala. So one
mustn't just think I think Allah I don't think people because that's
not thinking the venue from which you're getting so prophets, Allah
Allah, so I wanted to thank him and be grateful to him as well. So
he said, Look, I'll this is what I can do for you. So he did, he
said, Come to me. When, when when I get some, when I when I get the
servants and I'll give one to you.
Then he came, when he when rasool Allah, Allah some receive too. And
so Lhasa Lawson said, choose one of these and he told us will Allah
allow him to choose them for him? Because he knew that Rasul Allah,
Allah would make the better choice and there will be Baraka, you
could tell that he was just totally hysterical. And Allah
subhanho wa taala, his love and his complete belief that whatever
the promise of awesome does is the best thing you can see it come and
manifest in all of these things. If that was a Sahabi that we don't
even hear much about. You can imagine the other Sahaba and how
close they were to Rasulullah sallallahu some and how much they
loved him. So he says that, take this one, the prophets, Allah some
said, Take this one because I've seen him praying. And the whole
point of this is that when you have a higher than when you have a
servant, then the best characteristics that you need in a
servant is Amana. trustworthiness and honesty, and obviously being
hardworking, like the daughters of sherry bodyslam said to their
father that hire him because we've seen him to be very trustworthy,
and he's strong as one of a human, I mean, strong and trustworthy. So
the province allows him How did he, how did he work out his
trustworthiness? He said because I've seen him praying. And in the
salata, tinha annual fascia, you will mancha that solid it prevents
it prevents from fracture and munkar from and chastity and from
evil and wrongs. So the prophets Allah Rossum is taking that as an
indication that this is the better person
the word mashallah it's a very interesting, you know, we're told
that we must ask for Mashallah. You must make istikhara. And you
must ask for mashallah, which is you must consult with somebody
that's knowledgeable, and the person who's been consulted, is
put in a place of trust, and he should then give the right kind of
advice that he would do for himself, he should do for the
other person. So he's put in a place of trust, it's kind of like,
you can say, a sacred obligation on the person between him and
Allah subhanaw taala, you've been asked, you should give the right
kind of answer. If you're unable to give the right kind of answer.
Then say I can't do it. Don't just give the wrong kind of answer.
This case, the way sometimes, you know, somebody will
meet me after the solid. And, and they go into this long question.
I'm occupied with something else in mind. Right? So I'll normally
just be very honest and say, Look, I'm really sorry, I can't I won't
be fair on you. If I said something to you. If I gave you
some advice right now, because my mind is not my mind is preoccupied
with something else. So just be honest. Say we'll talk to somebody
else, you know, we're sorry, we'll talk to you some other time.
Because it's a nasiha it's very important that you give the right
decision. You wouldn't like to be
told by somebody something that you don't believe that they really
believe is good for you. Also, the professor Lawson didn't just say
choose this one and didn't give a reason he gave a reason. So it's
always a good idea that when you're advising somebody, you give
them reasons, so it makes them feel more comfortable. What Why
Why do you advise them about that? We learned that from Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as well. Another thing is the meaning
of pneus of mashallah, it comes from Easter shara, which means to
ask somebody for the mashallah essentially, the word actually
comes from taking honey out of the pot.
Right? Taking this taking sweetness out of something for
use. So when you're asking for a shout out to someone, you're
literally wanting to sweeten the deal in some way. There is a
there's a that's how you gain sweetness in the action.
That that's the origin of the word that has been used here.
Anyway, he took it up, he took it to his wife, and he told me
exactly what the prophets Allah had said because what I saw was a
deal with him well treat him nicely. So the wife said you will
not be able to fulfill the right of what was said to you about him
by Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi wasallam except that you
give him up and Subhanallah the women. They are more powerful.
They are more powerful in this week.
I'm so generosity and giving in the path of Allah subhanho wa
taala. They don't worry about money as much. That's why those
who are on the wrong track will spend all of their 100 husbands
money. That's why they have to be restricted.
Right? They do shopping and they just spend all the money. And
those that are have the right thought in mind, they will spend
more than their husband, when it's for the path of Allah subhanaw
taala. I've got a friend up north, I just just a few days ago, he
told me, somebody told me about that he had a campaign through one
of these relief organizations to collect money for I don't know how
many homes 300 homes or something like that to build in one of the
poor countries for a certain amount of money. I think it was I
can't remember, it cost this much to build a basic home for one
family, you know, maybe 1000 2000, or whatever it was, and he had a
campaign to do 300 of them. And he said that the majority of them
came from the women of the community. He mentioned in the
masjid, Masjid, Masjid, then he had a big woman's program, 500
women were there. And he knocked on that day. He just got off he
got majority of them from the women.
Now, you might be saying, well, the women they don't really spend,
they don't really spend their own money in most cases, you know, the
women who aren't normally stay at home and so on. Right? But they
have something they are giving something it they are the
associate for the husband to do good things and the man then
feeling burnt down or we don't have enough money you can't spend
she spent it it's too late brother. Right. It's too late she
spent it so the encouragement of though if you've got tight
husbands you start encouraging them to spend unless you're gonna
get beaten up by
some cases like that as well. So we're telling the women that you
know if your husband's a miserly, then you need to open up their
heart spin slowly, slowly. You're not allowed to spend their money,
right? You can take for your own right? Hint. Radi Allahu Allah
coming into Rasulullah sallallahu Abu Sufyan is very stingy. He
doesn't give me money to spend, can I take Can I take some from
him if it's for your own selves as absolute basics then that but you
can't take to spend in the path of Allah subhanho wa Taala for
knuffel charity,
but you can help him you can help him sometimes it's the opposite as
well, because sometimes the women can kick looking at the children
and so on. There's a famous story about earlier the hola Juan and he
wanted to give the beggar something somebody came wanting
one day. He says to her son of the hola one is
six Durham's inside the house gonna show model that we should
give one of them. Right? So his mother said, you know, I actually
kept that six for some two by some
flower, so we can bake the bread. She didn't say no, she just said
that was it because he didn't say give it he said, he asked as a
consultation. So she said this. So he said, You know what, I'm gonna
take all six
and give it to right now obviously, this child is learning
from all of this as well. He gives all six Fatima the Allah one
daughter, daughter of Rasulullah sallallahu Summersville
gives all six. And suddenly this person comes along. And now they
got nothing. This person comes on and says I want to send my camera.
How much 130 So no problem. If you don't mind, I'll buy it from you.
But I don't have the money. Right? As soon as the money comes. I'll
give it to you. Tie it here. Tied it there.
And because 140 140 Right. So
then another man coming here. That's a nice camel. Can I buy it
from you? He said yeah, let's do a deal. Give it 202 I want 200 for
it. He said yeah, that sounds like a good price. I'll give you 200 No
problem. Gave him 200.
He sent 60 to his wife Fatima, the Allah one that one Dirham, or one
thing spent in the path of Allah subhanaw taala. Allah increases at
six fold.
Right? What is it seven fold.
Sub I think it's seven fold. So it was seven fold. So 70 center. So
for each one he got 10 times that amount. Within a few moments
sitting at home not doing anything.
But why does it happen to us? The question is why doesn't it happen
to us? The reason is that do you ever spent it would happen to you
as well if you spent your entire savings that was what they had.
That was the savings what they had he spent his entire it wasn't just
six dirhams. It was his entire saving. So if somebody comes to
you and you literally clear out your bank balance 5000 10,020 3040
Whatever is sitting there for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and
your Tawakkol is like that. You will get 10 times that amount. Try
it out.
Believe me is better than gambling in Las Vegas. So you might think
he gave six he got this much. We
couldn't give six. Our six is not his six. His six is all he's got.
So it must be understood that another problem that we have is
that if we got 200, we'd be thinking that was an easy deal. I
should have asked him for 250. Or, you know, I just remember there
was somebody else who was actually interested for 220. Can you pay me
251 problem? We agree we have another issue is Jelly, we got
200. Now we've got the 200. We still have to pay the 130, don't
we?
So it was 130 or 40? I forget the exact it was one of the two. Now
we think many of us what we do is we make them wait, we make people
wait, we've got the money, but we just send it's not it's never the
right time. She texted him on Monday, he says, Whenever you've
whenever you have to receive somebody's money, it's always the
right brother. Yeah, that was absent right time, I need the
money right now. When you have to give money. It's always like, you
know, I got too many bills to pay. And I've just paid all my bills,
Oh, I haven't got my paycheck yet. It's not the right day as we don't
pay people money back. Whereas the province of awesome also always
did horsnell Other, which means excellent repayment. And excellent
repayment means for example, that you go and give them the money as
opposed to make them come to your house to pick it up. You go and
give them for example, if you owe somebody 1000, and you want to
give them cash, for example, don't give them a pack of fives, right?
Go and give them something that they'd be happy with. You know,
like, you've got different piles of in a business, for example,
different piles of money, you give them all the fives all the 10s,
give them 50 is 20. So it's easy for them to handle. So excellent
repayment means that you go and you give them as opposed to make
them wait and force and, you know, run around behind you and so on.
And the other thing is, for example, if you're gonna
electronically send them and it's through PayPal, for example, you
take the charges on, you know, there's a there's a there's a
surcharge to send money, there's that I'll give it to you through
PayPal, but you'll have to pay the money. I mean, personal data is
that I pay the money and I send it to him because it's my
responsibility to get back to him. It's very easy. It's very good
when you want to get money from someone, but what about when you
want to repay so personal debt, which means excellent repayment is
that we do we make it the most convenient, easy thing to give the
give the money to the person.
People have understood it to give extra interest that's wrong. It's
actually the way you give it not that you give them extra money,
because that sometimes translates to interest. Anyway, then he freed
him. And then the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam mentioned
upon this, that everybody has two advices to intimates. And the one
who's the best person who has been protected is the one who who has
been protected from the evil one. And the way the evil one can be
protected from is as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
mentioned that everybody has the shaytaan with them, right that
inspires them to do wrong, and the prophets Allah some said, I also
have a shaytaan on my one has become subdued, or my one has
become a Muslim. And essentially, what what's been what the Omar
mentioned is, is that normally what happens is, everybody has a
shaytaan with them, but through constant vicar of Allah, that's
why you know, when people say that they've got bad habit of doing
something haram and they can't get out of it. One is that you want to
abstain from that everybody is looking for like a quick fix, how
can I remedy myself take some medicine and get out of this? It's
very difficult because especially when you become
habituated to a bad deed, looking at the wrong thing, talking to
whatever it is, you have to strengthen your heart and Iman, so
the shaytaan comes away and we subdue our knifes and the only way
to do this is by more dhikr of Allah, more remembrance of Allah
Mattila of the Quran outside of Ramadan as well, that will keep
the heart strong, so that we stay from that. Otherwise every time
new disease hits we get, they say have a lot of vitamins and so on
so that you remain protected. It's similar. It's similar to that as
well. May Allah subhanaw taala give us the Tofik That's why even
Masuda the Allah and said shaytaan will mean Missoula, the believers
shaytaan is emaciated. He is weak and feeble and the shaytaan of the
calf it is very strong. And that's why they Sybil * actually
mentioned that my Shaytan said to me one day that I entered you
while I was like a big fat animal. And now I'm like a little bird.
May Allah subhanaw taala give us the low frequency with that one
and hamdulillah
