00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			So then he provided this great example because
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			for them they could understand this.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			See, living in Medina Munawwara, there was some,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			it was better situation than Makkah.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			Makkah was drier.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			Medina Munawwara had your date trees and so
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			on.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			That's why most of the dates that we
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			get there, they tend to be Medina dates
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			as opposed to Makkah dates, or then from
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			outside.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			So, when spring comes, they understand this example
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			of all of this greenery that suddenly come
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			about.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			So, you get these animals who are eating,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			eating, eating, and then they are killed, حَبَطًا.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			حَبَطًا means because of the stomach bloating, because
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			of a bloating of the stomach, and that
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			causing all of these diseases and everything, and
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			then it causes them to die.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			Or يُلِم, or close to dying, makes them
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			close to dying.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَاةُ
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَىٰ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			أَجْمَعِينَ أَمَّا بَعْدَ This next hadith puts a
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			lot of things in perspective.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			It actually shows how we're supposed to deal
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			with wealth.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			It actually shows you the good aspect and
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			the bad aspect.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			It shows you where the pitfall is.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			It answers a lot of questions.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			If we listen to this next hadith very
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			carefully, it's going to answer inshaAllah many many
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			questions about how we're supposed to interact with
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			the world.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			What Allah wants from us?
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			Allah has placed us here with all of
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			this wealth around us.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			For some people wealth comes by easily.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			For some people it doesn't come so easily.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			For some people they have a lot, but
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			they just can't stop wanting more.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			Nothing satisfies them.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			Nothing satisfies them.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			That's why some people say that if you're
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			looking for money, to borrow money from someone,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			don't go to the person who has lots
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			of assets because their money is all called
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:00
			for.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			They've got five houses and they're getting rent
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			from five houses.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			They're going to get enough money, their idea
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			is to buy a sixth house.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			The guy who's going to probably give you
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			money to borrow possibly is a guy who
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			only has one house and he's satisfied.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			So when he has some extra saving, he's
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			willing to help somebody with it.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			Not to say that this is always going
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			to be the case like this.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			There's obviously miserliness where somebody will have money.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			In fact somebody's quoted as saying, if I'm
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			going to loan anybody money, I'll loan it
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			to myself.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			So there's even statements like that from people
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			as well.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			And mashaAllah there are people who I spoke
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			to, somebody he was mentioning.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			He said, if somebody comes to me for
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			money, he said, even if I don't have
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			any, he's a big businessman, his money is
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			always in, he's always doing something or the
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:48
			other.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			But he said, if somebody comes to me,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			I'll get him money.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			If he's come to me with that, if
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			he's come to me with a certain hope,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			that I'm, you know, a certain hope that
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			he's come to me.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			Because you can't go to everybody, you can't
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			go begging on the street for everybody for
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			money, unless you're a beggar.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			And that's your vocation.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			You're only going to go to certain people
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			that you have some kind of hope in.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			I will get five, ten thousand from somebody
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			else and give it to him.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			So you get people like that as well,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			alhamdulillah.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			So, this is the way it is now.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			Are we supposed to be in all of
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:21
			this?
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			This is the question.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			I just gave you all of these different
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			ideas and these different portrayals of people just
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			so that we can understand where we need
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			to be, what our interaction needs to be
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			with money.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:39
			Because everybody here, everybody has a different interaction
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:39
			with money.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Some people are just naturally greedy.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			Some people are naturally stingy.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			So, they have a bit more challenge.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			Some people are just naturally more open-hearted.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Some people are just naturally more generous.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			So, everybody has different types of challenges.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			But this hadith I thought really, really puts
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			in perspective.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			It's related from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			radhiAllahu anhu.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			Related by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			He says that, The Prophet ﷺ said, إِنَّ
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			مِمَّا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا يَفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:27
			وَمَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا Among
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			those things that I fear for you after
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			me.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			The Prophet ﷺ said, Among those things that
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			I have great fear about after I leave
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			and after I depart from this dunya is
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			that which will be opened up for you.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			That which will be facilitated for you.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			That which will become available for you of
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا Of the freshness of this
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			world.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			The vitality of this world.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			The brightness of this world.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			The ripeness of this world.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			And its adornment.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			The dunya will look fresh and ready to
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			pick for you.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			It's going to be easy to get it
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:10
			possibly.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			Halal or haram.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			The fruit is hanging off somebody's tree.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			It's not your tree.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			But it's so easy to get.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			Nobody's gonna know.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			Let me pick a fruit.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			Something as simple as that.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:28
			So, the dunya, the world, worldly possessions, worldly
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:35
			adornments and its brightness and its glimmer and
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			its glitter and all of that that's going
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			to be opened up in front of you,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			this is what I have fear of.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			I'm just going to translate the whole hadith
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			first.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			And then we'll look at each individual portion
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			afterwards.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			So then somebody said to him, somebody said
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			to Rasulullah ﷺ, فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهُ
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			Remember these were thinking people.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			These were people who used to reflect over
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			things that were said.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			So he said, يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهُ أَوَيَأْتِ الْخَيْرُ
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:09
			بِالشَّرِّ Is good going to bring about evil?
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			Is the good that's going to come, meaning
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			generally you understand that if you're suffering and
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			then you get some money, you get means,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			some prosperity, then that should be good.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			But will that good bring with it evil?
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			Is good and evil concomitant?
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			Do they have to be together?
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			If one comes, does the other one have
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			to come with it?
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			That's a good question to ask and we're
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			really glad.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			May Allah reward him for asking this question.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			حَتَّىٰ ظَنَنَّ أَنَّهُ فَسَكَتَ The Prophet ﷺ became
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			silent.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			The Prophet ﷺ became silent until we guessed,
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			we thought, أَنَّهُ يُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهُ that he was
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			receiving a revelation.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			Because he would become silent then, focused.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:06
			قَالَ فَمَسَحْ عَنْهُ الرَّحْضَةَ Eventually the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			wiped away the perspiration of the heat that
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			he had just experienced.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:17
			رَحَضَةَ Generally this is understood to be when
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			you have a lot of perspiration from fever.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			When you have internal body temperature is very
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			high.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			So then you get fever and it breaks
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:25
			out.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			So then he wiped that away from himself
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			and then he said, أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ Where is
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			this man who had asked this question?
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			Where is this questioner who asked this question?
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			As though he was praising him.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ He said it in a praiseworthy
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			sense.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			What a good question.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			Where is this person who asked this question?
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِلْ خَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ No, the
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			goodness will not bring with it evil as
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			something that is necessary.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			It doesn't entail, good does not entail evil.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			All good does not entail and necessitate evil.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			But then he provided a wonderful example.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			He says, وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يَنبُطُ الرَّبِيعُ مَا يَقْتُلُ
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:15
			حَبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمْ That among all of those
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			things that spring produces, among all of those
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:23
			great crops, freshness, and among all the great
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			green and fruits and vegetables and all the
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			grass and everything else, the sustenance that spring
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			brings with it.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			It has the ability, some of it has
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			the ability to kill.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			Some of it has the ability to kill
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			or make somebody close to being dead.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			So among all of that vitality, it has
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			the ability within it to kill somebody or
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			to at least make them close to death.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:59
			إِلَّا آقِلَةُ الْخَضِرُ Except the one who eats
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04
			just the greens, particular greens.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			Except the ones who eats particular greens in
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			a particular amount.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:15
			حَتَّ مْتَدَّدْ خَاصِرَتَىٰ Until its sides become stretched
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			and filled with whatever is eaten.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:24
			اِسْتَقْبَلَتْ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ He then sits facing the
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:24
			sun.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			فَثَلَتَتْ وَبَالَتْ This animal, this is an example
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			of animals.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			The first example was of the one who's
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			just going to eat and eat of all
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:41
			of this sudden, after the drought, after the
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:45
			winter, after there being no grass and nothing
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			to graze upon, suddenly get miles and miles
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			of grazing grounds.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			So they just eat some animals, they'll just
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:58
			eat, eat, eat and eventually they will die
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			from that or they'll become close to dying.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:05
			Whereas there's others who eat sparsely, carefully, until
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			when their sides are filled, they've eaten enough,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			then they face the sun.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			So they relax in the sun.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			فَثَلَتَتْ وَبَالَتْ And then after that they do
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:21
			their business, they defecate, they urinate.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَأَكَلَتْ Then they come back and
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			they eat again.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:37
			وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالُ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالُ خَذِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			This wealth of the dunya and everything in
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			the dunya is wealth.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			If you've got interest in it, it's wealth
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			for you.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			All of that is extremely green and sweet.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			It's extremely green and sweet.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ Anybody who
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			takes it with its right.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			وَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَقِّهِ And places it in its
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			rightful place.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			فَنِعْمَ الْمَعُونَةُ هُوَ Then what a great instrument
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			it is.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			معونة is anything that assists you in doing
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			something, in achieving something.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			What a great assistance it is.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			What great instrument it is.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			What great apparatus it is.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			What great means it is.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			What a great tool it is.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			You can take it as you want.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			وَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَقِّهِ فَنِعْمَ الْمَعُونَةُ هُوَ وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ But anybody who takes it without
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			its right.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			كَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ Then he's like
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			the one who is a binge eater.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			The one who eats and is never satiated.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			He eats, thinks he's full, after five minutes
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			he's grazing again.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			Comes back, goes back to the refrigerator again.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			Sits down, goes back to the cupboard again.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			Sits down, grabs a packet of chocolates.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			He's never satiated.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			وَيَكُونُوا شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ Above all on
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			the day of judgment this same wealth will
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			become a witness against the person.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			Now let's put this in perspective.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			The general understanding here is that the Prophet
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			ﷺ is giving an example of all of
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			this great greenery for animals, when they haven't
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			had for droughts.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			If you've seen all of this, the wildlife
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			and all of these things and after they
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			haven't had water, after they haven't had much
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			grazing, suddenly it all comes about.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			The force of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			barakat in nature suddenly brings about all of
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			this sustenance.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:35
			There's so much of it.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			It's not like they have to even buy
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:37
			it.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			They just have to use their mouth and
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39
			energy.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			For animals it's like that, isn't it?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:45
			So the example he's giving that especially the
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			person has to be careful.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			The parallel here, especially the person has to
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			be careful who can get money more easily.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			Some people have to struggle for it.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			The one who doesn't have to struggle too
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			much for it, he's got a bigger fitna.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			Because if he gets greedy, then he's going
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			to just get so much and so much
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			and he's more likely to cause a problem.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			More likely to run into mischief.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			More likely never to be satiated.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			And more likely for that money to eventually
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			kill him one day.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			So that's the same with the animal.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			They eat, eat, eat, and they either die
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			from it or they get a disease or
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			whatever the case may be because their insides
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			can't take it any longer so then it
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			creates, because the worst vessel that you can
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			fill is your stomach as the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:29
			said.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			So that applies to animals as well.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			Or your limb becomes close to dying.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			But then there's the other one who eats
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			carefully.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			Because maybe they don't have the same pasture
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			grounds as they do.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			They don't have the same kind of rich,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			very rich foods.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			So then they have to take a bit
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			from here, they have to take a bit
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			from here, and then after that they're satisfied
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			because it's tough getting that food.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			It's tough getting that food, it's not that
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			easy for them.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			So they take it and then after that
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			they relax for a while facing the sun.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			It says specifically the sun.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			Because in here it's talking about a person
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			who takes from the world but then opens
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:11
			himself opens himself up to the illumination from
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			the Qur'an and the Sunnah, from the
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			Sharia.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			That is like the sun.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			Opens him up to some guidance.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			Maybe they've got a lot but then when
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			they listen, they listen to a fundraising talk.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			And we have too many of those today.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			I don't know if you can say too
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			many but every bayan is a fundraising talk
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:28
			now.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			People are tired of giving now, subhanAllah.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			We still give a lot but every program
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			that you go to now, it's a fundraiser.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			You know?
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			I don't know if that's subhanAllah, there has
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			to be some kind of intention has to
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			stay pure with this.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			So, the person listens to these things and
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			mashaAllah then he he or she becomes careful
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			in their spending or maybe in their greed
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			or maybe you know the the attraction that
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			they have it diminishes slightly makes them a
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:02
			bit more careful.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			All of these kind of things.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			So now let's look at this in a
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			bit more detail inshaAllah.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			As the Prophet ﷺ said that the biggest
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:20
			fitna that I fear the most major aspect
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			of fear that I have is that the
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:26
			dunya will open up its vitality its freshness
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			and its riches and adornments to you.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			Now the reason he's the wording in Arabic
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			that's used is zahrat al dunya wa zinatuha.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			Zahra is generally to do with flowers.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			It's generally to do with like freshness of
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:42
			a flower.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			And the reason is that how long does
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			the freshness of a flower remain?
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			How long do flowers remain?
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			You buy 10 pound bouquet of flowers, you
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			get in that romantic mood and you buy
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55
			some for your wife.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			I'm talking to the men, right?
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			Because I don't want women buying their men
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:01
			flowers.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			They got other things that they can buy
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:03
			them.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			I mean they can buy flowers as well
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			if they want to but it's the men
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			that have to be told to buy flowers.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			I mean mashaAllah it looks very nice but
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			after 5 days you're going to have to
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			buy some more.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			Because flowers don't stay that long.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			There are certain flowers but they're exceptional, right?
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			But generally flowers, they don't stay as long.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			It looks very fresh in the beginning.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			Look how they look and then you have
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			them for a while, you water them, they
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			look even better as they open up, right?
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			And then after that they start dying again.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			This is the same thing with the dunya.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			So the example he's giving, the parallel the
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			Prophet ﷺ is giving is perfect.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			That this is the nature of the dunya.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			This is how you'll take it, it'll give
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			you some satisfaction for a while and then
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			it'll all wither down again.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			Then you have to do it all over
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:43
			again.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			Get some more flowers.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			Buy it again.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			Do your next Amazon order.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			And then you get tired of it again.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			And then you have to do it again.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			You have to play it everyday.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			That's what he's saying here.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:02
			سرعة فنائها So for the Sahaba, this was
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			that he, the Prophet ﷺ knew that this
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			was going to happen because areas were going
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11
			to be conquered and huge riches from Persia
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			and from Rome was going to be brought,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			especially from Persia, was going to be brought.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			So he was preparing their mind from then.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			This was the Prophet ﷺ preparing them from
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:22
			then and there.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			And generally what happens is that when you
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			have a lot of wealth, you have to
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:26
			manage it.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			If you've got a lot of wealth you
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			have to manage it.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			You're forced to manage it in this country.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			You can't just leave it.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			You're forced to manage it.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			You have to make sure you use it,
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			you have the right tax planning.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			Otherwise you'll lose it.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			I mean, can you believe it?
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:46
			Facebook only paid 4000 and something in taxes.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			This massive corporation.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			In England, paid only 4000 something taxes for
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			2014.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			That's like the tax of anybody who's making
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			about 21,000 25,000 pounds a year.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			They probably paid more taxes than them.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			It's all planned.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			It's all planned.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:06
			Right?
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			So you got a lot of money, you're
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			going to have to plan with it.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			You have to look after it.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			You have to make sure you check it.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			And so on and so forth.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:20
			So, تشغولكم عن العلوم النافعة It will then
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			prevent you from going and studying something going
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			and really learning something of substance because you
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			just have to study everything to do with
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:28
			money.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			It calls to you to do better.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			That's why they say that CEOs they read
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:38
			several if not tens of new books every
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			year just to keep them on top of
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:40
			their game.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			They're not a CEO of a major corporation
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			for nothing.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			There's a lot of books out there if
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			you go into like the management management sections
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			and business sections there are a lot of
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			good books that are written every year with
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			new ideas and new concepts and new ways
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			of doing these things.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			And if you spend money behind this you'll
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			make a lot of money as well.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			That's the way these things work.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			You put some effort behind it.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			So you have to go and get into
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			these things.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			You have to be on the cutting edge
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			of these things because then there's a competition
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			that comes into play.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			A number of things of that nature.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			So then generally what happens is that then
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			you become arrogant.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			Because all of these things create arrogance.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			Which means now that your akhlaq go down
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			the drain sometimes.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			Akhlaq, stoop to new lows.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			You get self conceitedness arrogance, love of wealth,
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			love of position comes with that.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			Then you want to maintain that position.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			You don't want to go lower than that.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			That position has to be there.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			Then you have to have membership to all
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			of these different clubs because they all benefit
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:44
			to you.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			Because then you'll get the right contacts.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			They can help you out in times of
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:50
			needs.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			Take people out to teas, take people out
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			to food, give expensive gifts.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			It's a lot of management.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			It's not, it doesn't come easily.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			The easiest is for the person who inherits
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:06
			it and then just you know, waste it.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			For him it's easy.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:08
			Right?
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			So that's why all of these kind of
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			things will have and then a person is
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			not going to be concerned about death.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			Person is not going to be concerned about
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:17
			their deen.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			This is generally what happens.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			Doesn't always have to happen with everybody but
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			this is generally what happens.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			So then the person said, Ya Rasulullah, does
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			good have to entail this evil?
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			Does this khair have to come with this
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:37
			evil?
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			Meaning if we're going to have all of
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			this good, all of this extra wealth coming
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			in, does that mean we're going to have
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			to lessen our good deeds?
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			Our obedience is going to decrease?
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			That's his worry.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			That's his worry.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			The Prophet ﷺ became silent as though he
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			was thinking about something but then we realized
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			that we felt that it was, he was
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			being revealed to.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			He was receiving a revelation.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			Then he wiped away the perspiration afterwards and
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			then he asked, where is this person?
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			And he made it very clear that wealth
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			is not intrinsically evil.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			Wealth doesn't have to bring evil together with
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			it.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			Though it mostly does but that's what he
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			explained after.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			It doesn't have to bring.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:28
			Because the haqiqat of wealth is khair, goodness
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			and sharr is evil.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:31
			These are opposites.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			They can't come together.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			Opposites don't come together.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			But one can bring the other and suddenly
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			become evil.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			So you can't have it as good and
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			bad at the same time.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			It's either going to be good for you
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			or it's going to be bad for you.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			That's what it is.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			So then he provided this great example because
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			for them they could understand this.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			See, living in Medina Munawwara there was better
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			situation than Makkah.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			Makkah was drier.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			Medina Munawwara had your date trees and so
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:00
			on.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			That's why most of the dates that we
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			get there, they tend to be Medina dates
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			as opposed to Makkah dates.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			Or then from outside.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:12
			So when spring comes they understand this example
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			of all of this greenery that suddenly come
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			about.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			So you get these animals who are eating,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			eating, eating and then they are killed.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			means because of the stomach bloating.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			Because of a bloating of the stomach and
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			that causing all of these diseases and everything
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			and then it causes them to die.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			Or close to dying.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			Makes them close to dying.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			Because they have no sense in what they're
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:43
			eating.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			It's just a lot of it and they
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			think they need to eat or whatever the
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:46
			case is.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:53
			So the goodness will bring about evil because
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			it can cause you to exaggerate.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			It can cause you to go beyond the
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:00
			limit.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			That's what it's talking about.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			So it's not evil but you'll take too
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			much of it.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			When you take that as a parallel then
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			it's about taking from the haram number one.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			A lot of haram sources will open up
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			for you.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:21
			Or it's going to you could take what
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:28
			you may consider halal but then you're not
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			going to think about what it may do
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			to you.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			Or if I take from this person it
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			may entail a payback afterwards.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:39
			All of these then or maybe by eating
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			too much it hardens your heart.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			It hardens your heart.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			And then again it leads to all of
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			this lowly akhlaq and character.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:52
			Because the person is never available for anybody.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			The person doesn't want to speak to people
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:54
			anymore.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			He's got a new set of friends.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			All of these are possibilities.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			He suddenly joined the golf club.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			Never played golf in his life.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			Now he's joining the golf club.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			He's going to spas now.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			And then after that because they have big
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			ideas about where to spend their money.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			They're never going to have money to give
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			anybody.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			In fact they're not even going to have
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			enough money to pay back their credits.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			They're going to make them wait.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			Because their money is going to be tied
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			up somewhere else.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			That's why the Prophet ﷺ said مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			ظُلْمٌ A person who has the ability to
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			pay back a debt and he doesn't is
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			an adhalim.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43
			So that's how all of this comes back
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			to being bad and becomes the cause for
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			bad but it doesn't have to be like
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			that.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			إِلَّا آكِلَةُ الْخَضِيرَ Except the one that just
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:55
			eats the fresh as it's available for them
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			within a certain measure it eats, relaxes until
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			its sides are full then it relaxes and
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			then after that it does its stuff.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			It processes the wealth.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:09
			Essentially when you're talking about defecating, it's processed
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			that it's done something with the wealth.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			It's used it in the right way to
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			get its energy now that it goes to
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			get some more.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			So likewise, a person who has the wealth
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			he's done right with it, he's processed it
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			used it for himself, his dependents maybe others,
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			and then after that he's going to get
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:26
			some more.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			So it's not too much that he can't
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			deal with it.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			It's enough that he can deal with it
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			and process it.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:37
			So process the wealth then he goes and
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:37
			eats some more.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:43
			So the whole idea of this, when you
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			process it is that you're careful because you
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:51
			will see the evils that akhlaaq that this
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			can bring so you stay away from that.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:26:01
			And you understand the good akhlaaq that has
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			to be imbibed, so you'll try to be
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			a bit more careful.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			In fact, he'll use the wealth in the
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:11
			right way so that he can become a
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			generous person, for example.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			Because one of the concepts of sakhawat is
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			to be known as a generous person.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			To be known as a generous person, as
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			a person who helps others to get their
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			du'as, that's a praiseworthy thing.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			That is praiseworthy.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			Not showing off but to get their du
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:33
			'as.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			People remember you as a generous, because you
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			know from experience that people remember generous people.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			I mean, there's a very generous open hearted,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			people like those kind of people.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			Now, having said all of this, as the
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:54
			Prophet ﷺ said, it is an instrument for
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			you to get good with if you want
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			to, who use in the right way.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			But because it has this danger, fihi khatarun
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			azeem, because it has this great danger, that's
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:11
			why يضر السالكين بحسب الأغلب because anybody who
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:15
			is really seriously considering Allah ﷻ it generally
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			is harmful for such a person.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			Because it has too many threats aligned with
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:20
			it.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:25
			That's why اختار الله لأكثر الأنبياء والأولياء طريق
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:29
			الفقر والفاقة That's why what Allah did for
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:33
			the majority of the anbiya and his close
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:39
			awliya He chose and selected the path of
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			poverty for them.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			Just to keep them away from the fitna
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			of that.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			Now look, you did have prophets like Sulaiman
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			ﷺ who had more than what anybody could
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			ever expect in this world.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			And he said, هَبْلِ مُلْكَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَهْدِ
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:58
			مِنْ بَعْدِ Give me such a kingdom that
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			nobody else gets after me.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			And that's why the Prophet ﷺ even kept
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05
			that took that into consideration when he was
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			about to get hold of a jinn a
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:07
			shaytan.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			And he says, No, I remembered what Sulaiman's
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			ﷺ du'a was and I didn't want
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11
			to.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			Because Sulaiman had control over the jinn as
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:13
			well.
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			And that's why if you've got two people,
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:20
			right?
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			You've got a wealthy person who's thankful grateful
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			to Allah.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			He's doing the right things.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:31
			You've got another person who is faqir and
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:31
			who's patient.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			Which one is superior?
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			So, according to pretty much all the Sufis
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			Sufi scholars and the majority of ulama in
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:45
			general they say that the faqir as-sabir
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:50
			is superior to the ghani as-shakir because
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:55
			they have less liability in this world and
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:55
			in the hereafter.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:00
			Less liability more attention because the other person,
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			the rich person is grateful to Allah for
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			fulfilling the rights of the world, getting lots
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			of reward that we may be spending in
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:10
			the path of Allah but there's still a
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			lot that he can't do because he's so
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			involved with his wealth and has to be
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			involved with his wealth.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			Because you have to manage your wealth.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			So the whole point of all of this
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22
			is that keep it moderate don't go beyond
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:26
			the limit don't go beyond the limit and
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			don't give in to your desires, your lowly
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:34
			desires of just wanting more and that's the
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:38
			whole point when you know you're full stop,
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:42
			relax process you want good things?
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			No problem buy pairs of shoes use them,
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			give them away, get some more.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			Don't have a hundred that you can't even
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54
			wear them anymore you've got 50 pairs of
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57
			shoes, you can't even wear them anymore the
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			way I look at it is that if
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			you've got anything in your wardrobe that you
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			haven't touched for one year or you can
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:09
			say two years, get rid of it all
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			of us will find things that if you
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:16
			it's difficult to part with it but the
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			guiding factor should be, have I been able
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20
			to have I used this or even thought
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			about using it?
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			Have I used this or even thought about
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			using this in the last year or two
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			years?
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			One year you still might not no, I
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			might use it and the next year comes
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:34
			again just get rid of it, give it
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			to somebody let somebody else make use of
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:43
			it so then the Prophet ﷺ said this
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			wealth I have to tell you, he's just
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:48
			giving the nature, he said it's sweet and
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51
			it is fresh it just looks sparkling, it's
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:55
			wonderful like a nice fruit a nice, really
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			nice fruit, you know for them this was
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			this was something really great, ice cream you
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:06
			know whoever takes it with it's right puts
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			it in it's right then what a great
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			instrument it is, what a great tool it
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:14
			is what a great facility it is that
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:17
			Allah has given you that's why the Prophet
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:21
			ﷺ said نعم المال صالح لرجل صالح how
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:26
			great, how beautiful how useful is pure wealth
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29
			in the hands of a pious is pure,
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:32
			righteously gained wealth in the hands of a
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			righteous person, he can do so much with
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:36
			it whoever takes it without it's right then
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			he's going to be like the person who
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			eats and is never satisfied because that's the
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			way it is that is the way it
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:47
			is وَيَكُونُ شَهِدًا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَ and above
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			all it's going to be a it's going
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			to be a proof and a testimony against
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			him on the day of judgment to prove
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			that this person had israf, that this person
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:59
			was extravagant, that this person wasted his time,
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:02
			this person wasted his wealth and all the
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04
			rest of it, that's why Imam Ghazali explains,
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			he says that مِثَالُ الْمَالِ مِثَالُ الْحَيَّةِ الَّتِى
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:14
			فِيهَا تِرْيَاقٌ نَافِعٌ تِرْيَاقٌ نَاقِعٌ وَسَمٌ نَافِعٌ it's
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			like a snake because you have to capture
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:19
			certain snakes to take, to make an antidote
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:24
			for some poison so it has poison but
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:27
			it also has antidote now, it depends on
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			who's dealing with this snake that's how one
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			or the other side of it will become
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:35
			manifest if it's in the hand of some
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			wealthy guy who's stupid who doesn't know what
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			to do with it for the sake of
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			Allah then he's going to be poisoned by
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44
			this but the person who knows how to
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			deal with it and is careful with it,
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			then he's going to take the benefit out
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			of that, that's what it is خَاجَعُ بَيْدُ
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			اللَّهِ النَّكْشَبَنْدِ says that, إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا كَالْحَيَّةِ this
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:58
			dunya is like a snake فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَعْرِفْ
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:01
			رُقِيَتَهَا يَجُزُ لَوْ أَخْذَهَا anybody who knows the
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:04
			ruqya, how to deal with this world, then
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:07
			take it deal with it and anybody who
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			doesn't, leave it what is this ruqya?
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			give me the ruqya brother, what is this
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			ruqya?
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:16
			أَنْ يَعْرِفْ مِنْ أَيْنَ يَأْخُذُهَا وَفِي أَيْنَ يَصْرِفُهَا
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:19
			how to take it, from where you're going
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			to take it is halal, where to take
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			it from and where halal and the best
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			way to place it that's what it is,
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			so take it and place it in the
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			right places may Allah give us the tawfiq
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			now all the rest of the hadith today
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:34
			they all kind of just emphasize this point
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			and inshallah they'll be in perspective now because
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			this has given us an understanding of how
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:42
			to deal with the dunya now inshallah, the
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			next hadith is related also from Imam Bukhari
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:47
			and Imam Muslim and Amr Ibn Auf رضي
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:54
			عليه وسلم فَوَاللَّهِ لَلْفَقْرَ أَخْشَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَكِنْ أَخْشَىٰ
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:57
			عَلَيْكُمْ أَن تُبْسَتَ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا كَمَا بُسِطَتْ عَلَىٰ
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:02
			مَن كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَتَنَافَسُوهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُوهَا وَتُهْلِكُكُمْ كَمَا
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:07
			أَهْلَكَتْهُمْ famous hadith the Prophet ﷺ said, by
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:12
			Allah I don't fear poverty over you it's
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			not what I fear he's not trying to
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			say that you're never going to become poor
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			he's trying to say that if you do
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:22
			become poor, I don't fear that of you
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			look, there are some poor people who turn
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			to kufr or at least for convenience purposes
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			they do that sometimes because the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:35
			said كَادَ الْفَقْرُ أَن يَكُونَ كُفْرًا that sometimes
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			it does get to such a limit that
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			it does turn to kufr but for the
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			most part it doesn't look at the poor
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:44
			people around the world in the Muslim countries
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:48
			still, their faith is strong, that's how they
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			survive there's no other way for them to
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:53
			survive some of them are misled some of
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:56
			them do become misled but generally that's the
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			case but what I do fear over you
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:02
			he says what I do fear over you
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			is that the dunya will open up itself
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:09
			to you now this speaking to us because
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			subhanallah the world is open for us alhamdulillah
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			however you want to look at it it's
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:21
			open up to us we live today like
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:25
			as low middle class people we live today
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:28
			though, we don't consider ourselves upper class, upper
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:31
			class is a whole different class we live
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			the only upper class we may experience sometimes
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			is in a hotel sometimes if you want
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			to know what upper class is, it's a
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			whole different story unless there's somebody upper class
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:46
			most of us lower middle class however our
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:54
			type of food, clothing cloth all of these
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:58
			things it matches the upper class of previous
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:03
			generations because it's become so open manufacturing the
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:09
			whole explosion of manufacturing and products, technology it's
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:13
			brought high class products on a simple basis
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			every Tom, Dick and Harry can have a
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19
			car in this country pretty much like to
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:22
			a certain degree mostly whereas that was something
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:25
			very specific it's like today who can have
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:29
			a plane, very few people tomorrow, people will
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:33
			have flying vehicles do you understand, the way
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			the world as fast as it's moving everything's
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			available to you, it's just so easy to
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			have it, things you have to go to
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			the doctor for, you can get those things
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			to check you up at home there's just
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48
			so many things that require so less effort
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:53
			to do these things so he says that
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			that's what I fear, that the dunya opens
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57
			up to you and then you start dealing
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:00
			with it like ignorant fools so then it
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:04
			destroys you just as it destroyed the people
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:10
			before them فَتَنَافَسُهَا the word is so perfect,
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:14
			he says فَتَنَافَسُهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُهَا you will begin
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			to vie with each other just like they
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:22
			did تَنَافَسُ comes from نَفِيس, نَفِيس means excellent
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:28
			wondrous, refined you will go after the refined
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:31
			things and aren't we doing that today?
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			who just goes in and buys something now
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:37
			we read reviews now we find the best
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:39
			thing, I mean we think it's an intellectual
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:42
			approach, it's a more reasoned approach to do
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:47
			these things, but subhanallah you have to spend
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:50
			time doing that research you have to spend
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:55
			time doing that research فَتَنَافَسُهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُهَا somebody
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			came to me the other day I had
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			my other watch on, it's a 15 year
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:03
			old citizen he said, that's a nice watch
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06
			he specifically came to look at it is
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			that a Rolex?
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			I said, no it's not a Rolex it
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:12
			looks like those big ugly Rolex, you know
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:16
			the big round thick Rolex's he said, no
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18
			it's not a Rolex it's a nice citizen
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			so some people they get attracted to all
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:26
			of these things, they see it everywhere they
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:30
			see dunya they can just tell not saying
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			it's a bad thing it's just how you
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:35
			deal with it if, to be honest I
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:39
			mean, if you have your Honda, Ford, whichever
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:41
			car you got, and somebody goes by in
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			a Bentley and he doesn't do anything for
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:48
			you say alhamdulillah because if a Mercedes some
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:53
			high level car, not normal Mercedes because everybody's
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54
			got a Mercedes BMW it's a big deal
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56
			about those, as I said it's middle class
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			if you see a kind of an upper
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			level car, and you think okay that's nice,
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			but you don't have a desire to have
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:07
			it, you don't feel a not a pang
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:11
			of jealousy then you're fine, but if every
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:12
			time you see a car like that then
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			you feel, man, why don't I have that
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			why can't I have that see one of
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			those big chunky watches I have no idea
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			why people wear those I've got a friend
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:22
			who's got one, and he got it as
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:24
			a gift, tries to hide it all the
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:26
			time but how can you hide one of
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:27
			those big things that are bigger than your
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			palm bigger than your hands, like as big
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32
			as your palm you know those big tag
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:35
			hoyers or whatever they're called right, so why
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			are you trying to hide it, if you
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:38
			don't want it put it away, you know,
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:42
			give it away wear something else give it
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			to a guy who's big, might suit him
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:48
			right I mean fat, I don't mean big
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:54
			anyway so if you don't have this kind
		
00:39:54 --> 00:40:01
			of feeling of desire jealousy, want need, greed,
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:05
			alhamdulillah if you're satisfied with what Allah has
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:08
			given you then thank Allah and if your
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			problem is that every time you see a
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			nice watch a nice pair of shoes, nice
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:15
			jacket nice coat, nice kurta right, because that's
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:18
			another I mean subhanallah, you go to Saudi
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:22
			perfumes and jubbas Allahu Akbar, there's just an
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25
			explosion of, every second shop is a perfume
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			shop now, and all these different new jubba
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			companies, because you know, you have to spend
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:32
			your money somewhere they say that, for example,
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:35
			in the conservative Arab world they're just wearing
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:38
			all black so what can you do to
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:39
			show off in that?
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			if you're all covered in black as a
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			woman, what can you do to show off?
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			so, it's going to be then black embroidery
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:50
			cloth, is going to be special this is
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:53
			this is not Korean, this is Japanese, this
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			is the way they explain it, no no,
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			this is Korean cloth, and this is Japanese
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:00
			cloth makes a difference, you know the whole
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:07
			Sharqiyah story out there and so then it's
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10
			handbags the only thing they can show, handbags
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			rings, and maybe a watch, that's the only
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			thing they can show mobile phones, so that
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:18
			this is human beings, they will show off
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:21
			in anything they can show off in it's
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:22
			the way it is, so if you don't
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:25
			have that, ask Allah for contentment, where you
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:27
			can see things going past and it doesn't
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:30
			bother you at all you just do shukr
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			of what Allah has but if everything you
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35
			see, how miserable is your life how miserable
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:37
			is your life, that every fifth car you
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			see, if you go to Kensington, it's murder
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:43
			for you it's punishment oh you're bringing to
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:46
			Kensington, I can't I can't deal with this
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			because every two seconds, you're going to be
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			like oh man, I wish I had that,
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			oh look at that look at that, I
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:53
			don't have it, and you're going to feel
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:58
			so depressed and so wrecked Subhanallah, what kind
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:02
			of life is that ask Allah for relief
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:06
			ask Allah for relief Allah help us, Allah
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:10
			preserve us because we copy each other, that's
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			what it is, one guy gets something, everybody
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			else gets it, it's for that reason it's
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16
			all copying and status symbol if it's just
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			for personal satisfaction it's a different story sometimes
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			hopefully by the end of this, we should
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			have a good understanding of how to deal
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			with the world if we've listened carefully, and
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:28
			if we've understood carefully, Allah give us that
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:32
			understanding okay so that is what the Prophet
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			ﷺ said it will eventually destroy you just
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			like it destroyed them, the way it's going
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			to destroy you is because you're either going
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:39
			to fall into mischief because of that, fall
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:42
			into haram because of that start using your
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:43
			money in haram to get haram, to achieve
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:46
			haram or to get money in a haram
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:49
			way in haram ways to do all of
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:53
			these things, that's why he says that generally
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:58
			speaking, anything above miqdaar al kifayah the amount
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:02
			that suffices the amount that suffices you for
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:06
			your needs and your family's needs anything beyond
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:11
			that anything beyond that is what you have
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:14
			to be careful about, because what suffices you,
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:18
			it's called for, it's already accounted for, you
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20
			need it you spent it, it's what's beyond
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:23
			that that it gets, the fitna comes into
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			more, because you don't know what to do
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:30
			with it that is what causes dughyan tyranny
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:34
			because it's extra that's where the musti is
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:43
			the mischief, obviously there's some people who spend
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:47
			money on their haram pursuits and make their
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:51
			family suffer at home you get cases like
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:55
			this they have to make do on basic
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:58
			clothing for the kids because he is entertaining
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:02
			outside something else the next hadith is from
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:05
			Bukhari Muslim Abu Huraira radiallahu anhu reports this
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			one, and the Rasul of Allah ﷺ Allahumma
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:11
			ja'al rizqa aali Muhammadin quta wa fi
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:15
			riwayatin kafafa on the face of it, this
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:19
			seems something different to what it really means,
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22
			inshallah if you've understood it carefully, Abu Huraira
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			radiallahu anhu said that Rasul of Allah ﷺ
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			made this dua, this was his dua, O
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:33
			Allah make the sustenance of the family of
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:38
			Muhammad to be qutan or kafafa qutan means
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:44
			enough to suffice them so qut means that
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:48
			gives you enough energy to do your obedience
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:51
			and it gives you enough to survive by
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:56
			that's his dua when he says aali Muhammad
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:01
			although literally that refers to blood descendants, but
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:03
			as the ulema mention, it doesn't have to
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:06
			only it refers to anybody who's on his
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:11
			path that is his special dua as a
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:14
			favor for those people, so that they have
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:17
			enough and they don't have that extra part
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:20
			that leads to dughyan, so then they avoid
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:23
			the fitnah, he's not saying give them just
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:24
			a small amount that they have to struggle
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:26
			to get by, he didn't say that he
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:31
			says kafafan, kafafan means enough, sufficient when you
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:32
			first look at this, it means he's saying
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			give them just a bit it doesn't mean
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:37
			a bit, it means enough that they're content
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:41
			and suffice with, right because for every person
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:44
			sufficiency is at a different level and I
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46
			think you'll understand this from what I mentioned
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:48
			about the hajj and the people in our
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:52
			tent and their feeling of compassion for the
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:54
			people living on the streets that would not
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:57
			suffice them, they'd run their hajj wouldn't have
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:58
			been done if they were on the streets,
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:01
			as I mentioned in the heat, without any
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:04
			food scrambling for things, they would be their
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			hajj would have been, this was sufficient but
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:09
			going and then having the satellite TVs in
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:14
			Mina, that's definitely beyond sufficiency that's beyond sufficiency
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:20
			so I was just reading there was a
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:23
			small post online that I came across on
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25
			a travel website he's saying I went to
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			Iran I was going to stay there for
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:29
			5 days because I've heard it's got some
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:32
			really nice places Pesopolis and Shiraz and all
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			these different places, but I left in 2
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:37
			days because the internet was very bad so
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:39
			everybody else is then telling him what's the
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:41
			problem with you, you don't need internet down
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:42
			there, there's so much nice things to see
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:45
			down there, you don't need internet what kind
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:46
			of crazy guy is that, you have to
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			have internet everywhere otherwise you'll leave the country,
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:51
			you know unless you're in a major deal
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:52
			or something and you need to be on
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			there, then you shouldn't have gone there at
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			that time if you knew anyway, do you
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:55
			understand?
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:57
			so this is our life now, some people
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			are so addicted to something that they've lost
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:02
			sight of natural beauty or architecture or external
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:05
			beauty, the beauty is just in surfing the
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:08
			web there's a hadith that's related by Ibn
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:14
			Majah from Amr ibn Ghaylan al-Thaqafi Tabarani
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:42
			related from Muaz ibn Jabal as well ...
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:48
			this is the dua of Rasulullah ﷺ and
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50
			he explains who this dua is about so
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:53
			it's all self sufficient he says, oh Allah
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:58
			the one who has brought faith with me
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:04
			who's considered me truthful, who's believed in me
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:09
			and who knows that whatever I have brought
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:14
			is the truth from you then lessen his
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:23
			wealth and his children and make beloved to
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:31
			him meeting you and hurry up his life
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:35
			span or his decree and the one who
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:38
			doesn't believe in me doesn't confirm what I
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:42
			have and does not know that what I
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44
			have brought is the truth from you give
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:48
			him lots of wealth lots of awlads and
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:52
			give him a long life and before you
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:56
			jump to any conclusions with this because good
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			people can have a lot of children can
		
00:48:58 --> 00:48:59
			have a lot of wealth as well, there
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:01
			have been many mashayikh of the past many
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:03
			great imams of the past with lots of
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:06
			money we know that so I think the
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:07
			point is that this is from a different
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:11
			perspective if you read this with this other
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:18
			hadith in mind which is a small amount
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:22
			that suffices you is superior to the abundance
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:25
			which causes you to become tyrannical so that
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:28
			is what he is praying against because most
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:30
			of us are in between the two most
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:33
			of us are in between the two but
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35
			subhanallah when I think of this, I think
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:38
			of certain people that I know I rate
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:44
			them to be awliya inshallah in my you
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:49
			can say amateur opinion but at the end
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:50
			of the day the Prophet ﷺ did say
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:54
			that you are you are witnesses on the
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:57
			day of judgement for people so if that
		
00:49:57 --> 00:50:01
			has any meaning then they are subhanallah they
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:02
			are some of the happiest people in your
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:06
			life in their lives that you see they
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:08
			don't have that much but if you eat
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			at their house their food is tasty but
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:13
			simple I can think of at least two
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:18
			people right now their house is decent simple
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:22
			but comfortable and the food is tasty without
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:28
			being extravagant they are satisfied their children behave
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:32
			their children are obedient and they are very
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:38
			satisfied people and it's their kana'a because
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:44
			they are mashaAllah religious but not religious hypocritical
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:48
			not religious bad akhlaaq meaning a lot of
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:52
			salah but bad akhlaaq mashaAllah akhlaaq ibadah all
		
00:50:52 --> 00:51:00
			in good tune balanced satisfied with Allah and
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:02
			mashaAllah Allah gives them satisfaction doesn't give them
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:04
			a lot but in what he gives them
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:06
			there is a lot of satisfaction so in
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:14
			the narration it says a small amount that
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:17
			you give shukr for is superior to an
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:21
			abundance that is beyond your control you don't
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:24
			know how to deal with it that's why
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:33
			I have to mention he says clearly having
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:39
			sufficient this differs it fluctuates depending on who
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:42
			and where everybody is going to have a
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:47
			different sufficiency so that's why you can't unless
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:49
			somebody is extravagant you can't really say that
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:53
			he is wasting his money or unless if
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:55
			he's got a lifestyle like that he comes
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:57
			from a place like that it's very difficult
		
00:51:57 --> 00:52:02
			to assume these things about people la ilaha
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:05
			illallah la ilaha illallah the next hadith is
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:09
			this next hadith is from Imam Muslim and
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:22
			it explains what we just said the
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:26
			one who is successful is the one who
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:29
			brought faith who is Muslim he's been given
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:33
			enough sustenance to suffice his needs and his
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:36
			family's needs and Allah has made him contented
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:40
			with what he has given him it's exactly
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:43
			what we've been saying every day he's Muslim,
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:47
			he's got enough to get by and Allah
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:50
			has given him satisfaction every new thing that
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:53
			goes by it doesn't matter he doesn't have
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			to run after it he doesn't follow everybody
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:57
			on the streets if they get a facelift
		
00:52:57 --> 00:53:00
			of their house he doesn't have to do
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:01
			the same thing do you understand?
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			that's exactly what I told you I can
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:05
			think of a few people like this this
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:10
			hadith is related by Muslim that's why there's
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:17
			a hadith from Abu Dharr r.a قَدْ
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:22
			أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَخْلَصَ قَلْبَهُ لِلْإِيمَانِ قَلْبُهُ لِلْإِيمَانِ وَقَلْبَهُ
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:26
			لِلْإِيمَانِ Falah has been attained Falah is not
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:28
			just any ordinary success it's a success after
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:31
			which there's no failure after which there's no
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:36
			defeat so this is talking about the real
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:38
			success in the hereafter the person who has
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:43
			got Falah is the one who has made
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:47
			his heart specifically for Iman he's got the
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:50
			Ikhlas of Iman in his heart وَجَعَلَ قَلْبَهُ
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:52
			or you can say that Allah has given
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:54
			him a heart that is full of Ikhlas
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:59
			جَعَلَ قَلْبَهُ سَلِيمًا his heart is sound وَلِسَانَهُ
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:04
			صَادِقًا his tongue is truthful وَنَفْسَهُ مُطْمَئِنًا and
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:07
			his nafs is satisfied his ego is satisfied
		
00:54:07 --> 00:54:15
			وَخَلِيقَتَهُ مُسْتَقِيمًا and his Akhlaq are balanced وَأُذُنُهُ
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:20
			مُسْتَمِعًا and his ears are well aware and
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:23
			listening to the right things وَعَيْنُهُ نَاظِرًا and
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:29
			his eye is heeds takes heed from lessons
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:31
			it looks, it looks in the right direction
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:34
			what a beautiful hadith the next hadith is
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:37
			I'm just going to read through the next
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:40
			few because they're self explanatory in light of
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43
			what we've already looked at here Abu Hurairah
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:48
			said that Rasulullah said يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ مَالِي مَالِي
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:50
			يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ مَالِي مَالِي a servant, any person
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:56
			this is my wealth my wealth وَإِنَّ مَالَهُ
		
00:54:57 --> 00:55:01
			مِمَّالِهِ ثَلَاثًا whereas really from among his wealth
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:06
			there's only three things that are his out
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:07
			of all of our wealth the only thing
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:10
			that is really ours are three things, what?
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:13
			number one مَا أَكَلَ فَأَفْنَى whatever you spent
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:17
			on food and eaten disposed of that's been
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:21
			yours, it's made you it's helped you energize
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:24
			you, whatever it did for you أَوْ لَبِسَ
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:28
			فَأَبْلَى and anything not that you're wearing but
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:31
			that you've worn and worn out is done
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:34
			because anything that you're still wearing and it's
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:36
			still there, it's gonna go somewhere else so
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:39
			anything you have worn and you've worn out
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:44
			أَوْ أَعْطَى فَقْتَنَى أَوْ أَعْطَى فَقْتَنَى or something
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:48
			you've given and then after that you have
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:55
			you can say invested it protected it put
		
00:55:55 --> 00:55:59
			it as a treasure that's essentially what it
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:02
			means that's what you've given for the sake
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:05
			of Allah and you've invested those are the
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:08
			three things anything else that you've got lots
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:10
			of it but you haven't used it in
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:14
			any of these ways فَهُوَ ذَاهِبٌ وَتَارِكُ لِلنَّاسِ
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:15
			then it's all gonna go away and he's
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:18
			gonna leave it for others because when you
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:20
			die, you're gonna leave it for others so
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:23
			really what's yours so think about what to
		
00:56:23 --> 00:56:27
			do وَعَنَ أَنَسِمْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:30
			رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلَاثَةٌ same thing
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:35
			رسول الله ﷺ said that three things accompany
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:40
			the مَيِّت at his death procession to the
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:45
			قبرستان فَيَرْجِعُوا إِثْنَانُ وَيَبْقَى مَعَهُ وَاحِدُ two things
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:48
			come back one stays with him into the
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:50
			grave, so there's only one thing that stays
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:55
			with you يَتْبَعُهُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ his family
		
00:56:56 --> 00:57:00
			his wealth and his deeds they're the three
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:04
			things that go فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُ وَمَالُهُ his family
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:07
			and his wealth come back how does his
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:11
			wealth go when his wealth is prepared for
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:14
			his hopefully he's paid for his shroud, gafan
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:17
			and in those days it used to be
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:19
			his servants and his slaves used to go
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:21
			you know, who's paid for all of that
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:24
			so anyway, your wealth goes along with you
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:27
			maybe your car goes along to the graveyard
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:28
			it'll take him in your car or whatever
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:29
			it is right?
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:31
			but then all of that comes back, it
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:34
			becomes then سُبْحَانَ اللَّهُ I gave a talk
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:37
			about inheritance two weeks ago in one masjid,
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:39
			so this guy comes to me, he goes
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:40
			you missed one thing, I said what?
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:42
			he said you should have told people that
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:45
			at least bury your deceased before you start
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:48
			fighting over his inheritance I said I didn't
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:50
			know about that one so maybe next time
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:51
			I can cover it he said there's a
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:54
			guy who had a council house in Camden
		
00:57:55 --> 00:57:58
			and now you know Camden prices are mashallah
		
00:57:58 --> 00:58:00
			more than Hackney prices right?
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:03
			so it's worth million or more before they
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:07
			even buried him they're arguing about this much
		
00:58:07 --> 00:58:08
			is mine I paid this much mortgage, I
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:10
			paid this, I paid that I must get
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:13
			this much before he's buried, so the poor
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:15
			guy felt and only his deeds will go
		
00:58:15 --> 00:58:17
			with him, Bukhari Muslim related this to me
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:20
			next hadith is related by Bukhari same thing,
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:24
			bit more graphic, Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud says
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:28
			Rasulullah ﷺ said اَيُّكُمْ مَالُ وَارِثِهِ اَحَبُّ اِلَيْهِ
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:34
			مِمَّالِهِ tell me which one of you that
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:36
			his inheritors wealth is more beloved to him
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:42
			than his own wealth such a thought provoking
		
00:58:42 --> 00:58:50
			question tell us whose inheritance of his inheritors
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:51
			is more beloved to him than his own
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:55
			wealth يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنَّا أَحَدْ إِلَّا
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:57
			مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ اِلَيْهِ مَّالِ وَارِثِهِ Ya Rasulullah how
		
00:58:57 --> 00:58:59
			can that be our own wealth is more
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:01
			beloved to us than the wealth of our
		
00:59:01 --> 00:59:06
			inheritors so then the Prophet ﷺ explained فَإِنَّ
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:10
			مَالَهُ مَا قَدَّمَ وَمَالَ وَارِثِهِ مَا أَخَّرَ that
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:12
			then you must understand that your wealth is
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:15
			only that which you've sent forward and the
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:18
			wealth of your inheritors is that which you've
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:20
			left behind so you don't spend it in
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:23
			the way above then it's not your wealth
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:29
			وَعَن مُطَرِّفِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رضي الله عنه قَالَ
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:31
			أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَ صلى الله عليه وسلم ويقرأَ الْهَاكُمُ
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:35
			التَّكَاثُرُ مطرف relates from his father he says
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:41
			that مطرف ابن عبد الله الشخير that was
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:46
			his name عبد الله ابن الشخير he says
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:47
			once I came to the Prophet ﷺ the
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:54
			Prophet ﷺ was reciting الْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ الْهَاكُ التَّكَاثُرُ
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:58
			تَكَاثُرُ means to vie with each other for
		
00:59:58 --> 01:00:03
			more that has caused you to become distracted
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:06
			it has taken you away from your real
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:09
			purpose in your life he was reciting that
		
01:00:09 --> 01:00:12
			and then he remarked as a تفسير يَقُولُ
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:16
			ابْنُ آدَمْ مَالِي مَالِي the servant the son
		
01:00:16 --> 01:00:18
			of Adam says this is my wealth this
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:20
			is my wealth this is my wealth I've
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:21
			got this much you know when we take
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:23
			our accounts I've got this much here I've
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:24
			got this much here he still owes me
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:25
			this much he still owes me this much
		
01:00:27 --> 01:00:30
			right you get the satisfaction when you know
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:32
			you know because sometimes you only got this
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:33
			much in your bank account but somebody owes
		
01:00:33 --> 01:00:35
			you or somebody or this you're gonna get
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			your next paycheck it makes you happy this
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:38
			is mine this is mine this is mine
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:42
			so he says that's how the ابْنُ آدمْ
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:45
			does his calculation وَهَلْ لَكَ يَبْنَ آدَمْ إِلَّا
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:52
			مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَثْنَيْتَ وَلَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ وَتَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ او
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:58
			ابْنُ آدمْ is yours do you have any
		
01:00:58 --> 01:01:02
			more than what you have already consumed and
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:06
			disposed of that you've worn and worn you've
		
01:01:06 --> 01:01:09
			worn and worn out right and that which
		
01:01:09 --> 01:01:13
			you've given sadaqa and you've sent forth you've
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:15
			given sadaqa and that is what you passed
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:19
			through Imam Muslim relates that and the final
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:23
			hadith for today Abu Huraira relates this and
		
01:01:23 --> 01:01:25
			he really hits the mark after all of
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:28
			this it hits the mark out of all
		
01:01:28 --> 01:01:30
			of this may Allah bless this author who
		
01:01:31 --> 01:01:33
			put the order of this hadith in this
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:37
			way that it's so cohesive to understand the
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:39
			words of the Prophet ﷺ he's kind of
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:42
			woven them in this beautiful necklace to provide
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:45
			the right kind of adornment in sha Allah
		
01:01:45 --> 01:01:48
			if Allah can help us with this Abu
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:51
			Huraira relates that Rasulullah ﷺ said ليس الغنى
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:56
			عن كثرة العرض ولكن الغنى عن النفس Bukhari
		
01:01:56 --> 01:02:00
			Muslim both relate this Prophet ﷺ said true
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:05
			richness true richness when you think you've got
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:09
			that's why you call richness I feel satisfied
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:14
			that I have enriched myself away from others
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:17
			I don't need them I just I've got
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:21
			enough true is not from having lots of
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:27
			possessions lots of merchandise lots of wealth and
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:30
			كثرة العرض ولكن الغنى عن النفس the only
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:32
			thing that is true richness is the richness
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:35
			of the heart that's what I was saying
		
01:02:35 --> 01:02:37
			before if you can have things go by
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:39
			you and it doesn't cause you to waver
		
01:02:39 --> 01:02:45
			then you're on the path to to have
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:50
			غنى Allah give us الغنى Allah give us
		
01:02:50 --> 01:02:53
			الغنى very important this is called as kind
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:57
			of an independence from these things it's a
		
01:02:57 --> 01:03:01
			self enrichment which is very very important so
		
01:03:01 --> 01:03:06
			الغنى الحقيقي هو قناعة النفس بما أعطاه المولى
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:07
			how do you define غنى?
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:11
			غنى is for the نفس to be contented
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:15
			with what his lord has given him satisfied
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:24
			satisfied والتجنب عن الحرس to abstain from being
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:30
			greedy and avarice of الدنيا فمن كان قلبه
		
01:03:30 --> 01:03:34
			حريصا على جمع المال فهو فقير في حقيقة
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:42
			الحال ونتيجة المآل because anybody who is anybody
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:46
			who finds his heart to be greedy for
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:52
			collecting money for gathering wealth then he is
		
01:03:52 --> 01:03:54
			a فقير because in Arabic the word فقير
		
01:03:54 --> 01:03:59
