or praise and thanks belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his servant and final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as to what follows my dear respected brothers in Islam, the last hope I gave was about manners and I had promised you that we're going to go through the Quran from cover to cover, highlighting the good manners that Allah azzawajal teaches us and the bad manners that Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches us to keep away from and to refrain from. So we began with sort of the Torah and we chose a few other out from other sources. And today is a another bad characteristic that Allah subhanho wa Taala highlights in the
Quran. Only this time, it's going to be a story that is found in solid aneesa an entire story that had happened during the lifetime of Rasul masala in where Allah azza wa jal calls out bad manners that came out from muslims for Let's listen to this story and understand what we can benefit from it be a vanilla retailer, my brothers in Islam during the lifetime of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam there were many communities that resided in Medina. So you had the Jews you had the hypocrites, and the vast majority were the companions from among all Mahajan one answer. And after one of the battles of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, an expensive war shield, a war shield
and expensive war shield was taken away from the battle ground as a laduma. For the Muslims. They only basically this was now in their possession and in their hands and enemy sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as he distributes the runner and the beauty of war he distributes it among his companions. This war shield really expensive. It was given to a companion by the name of Rivera, Ravi Allahu anhu. It was an expensive commodity or shields were an expensive commodity. It's like a car nowadays. And so the four out of the Allahu anhu took it and installed it in his house in his closet where he stores his food, his wheat and his grain and so on. A few days go by, and a man from a
tribe of Benny obeyed it. This is another tribe from the unsolved a man from their tribe
known as Bashir. He entered the house of reefer late at night, and he stole the shield and he stole the food and he took off. Now the federal the Allahu anhu. The next morning he realizes that the shield is gone. So he goes to his nephew Qatada, and he explains to him what happened last night. So both reefer and Qatada ob Allahumma. They carry out their own investigation to see what happened and where did the shield go. And because the food was stored in a plastic bag, it was stored in a bag, which was hold from down the bottom there was a whole the food began to come out of the bag. And as Barry obeyed it as but she ran away with it. It made a trace. So reefer and Qatada, they traced it
and they followed the greens until it got to the house of Bashir, which is from Benny alberic. And so they realized and they said pretty much it is Benny Aveda crew stolen and Benny obaidul a poor people they are known as a poor family in in Medina. And that night in when the shield was stolen, there was a fire being lit in their house. So they began to assume that why is there a fire lit in their house. While these are poor people, my mother's they must have stole something and lit the fire to cook some food.
Somebody found out the Allahu anhu
Assuming pretty much certain that Benny ovale extol this, he sends his nephew Qatada
to the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to complain about what had happened. So Qatada goes to the salasar Salim and begins to complain. And here we learn that when there's an issue between the believers don't take things in your hand. If everyone was to take his own matter in his own hand, and return his right in his own hand, there'd be chaos in the community. And let me sell Allahu alayhi wa sallam taught the Muslim community that when there's an issue between you and your brother, and you've accused him of stealing something from you, or that you have a right with Him that belongs to you. Don't take things in your hand for do who will allow your lawsuit in contempt
to be like,
if you've dealt with someone concerning something, go back to the Scullers go back to the machine. Go back to the Islamic judges that B is the law he will help you achieve your right and return your right now besides lm has taught the Muslims this so Qatada refer during the storm in the house of Rashid, where's our shield? They went to law school of muscle alone while he was alum. And they began to complain that so potato the Allahu anhu begins to complain to the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he said to him, O Messenger of Allah.
Some people have stolen our food, and they have stolen our shield. Can you bring our shield back? We forgive them for the food. You know, food is a worldly matter, it comes and goes, but the shield is an Islamic matter. It's a religious matter. We use it to defend our honor. And we use it to defend Islam when Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will not let go from this phase. And we learn from he Yani worldly matters. Don't make it a big issue between you and your brother. They're ready to forgive food steal, it doesn't matter. We forgive them from an alpha Slava zoo, Allah. Allah social says anyone who forgives, then his reward is upon Allah subhanho wa Taala. can if you want to do
right back from your brother, what if you forgive him, your reward with Allah will be greater than if you were to take your right from your brother on the Day of Judgment. For now, whoever seeks the reward would automatically forgive if it's something wealthy, but the shield is a religious matter. And we're not going to let go of that. So we want the shield for Nabil sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he promised them both that he will look into the matter.
Soon after, Benny obeyed ik but she is the one that stole the shield. They found out that Katerina and Rivera have went and complained to the solar loss Allahu alayhi wa sallam. So now they got worried, we might get caught very soon. So they appointed a lawyer for themselves, someone who's going to talk and defend them, and that they went to a man within their tribe known as a seal of Noida. And this man, he was known for his eloquence and for his powerful, strong, convincing words. So now Benny obeyed it, along with the newly appointed lawyer, a seal, they went to law school of muscle alojado, USA, and a seal begins to talk. He says O Messenger of Allah, refer on Qatada. They
accused one of our tribal members of theft. How can they do that? While they don't even have any clear evidence and proof to accuse us, and that's true, there is no clear evidence and proof. So the only way they can be accused is if they were to admit their crime, or you bring eyewitnesses that witness their crime. And they were no eyewitnesses because this happened late in the middle of the night. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam heard this from a seal. It sounds convincing. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went to Qatada. Those who have made the accusation. And he said to them,
why did you accuse a righteous innocent family of theft? How do you accuse them and you don't even have clean substantial evidence against them. The maximum proof refer and Katerina could bring is the traces of green to the house of Benny Aveda. That's it, that's not enough. You need clear, serious proof otherwise, don't open the topic. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam since he is the judge in this case, and in this matter, and he can only judge by that which is apparent
and there is no substantial evidence, then the one that has been accused remains innocent in the sight of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and here, then we go to a hadith in which
he was taught the companions way before this. He had shipped to them in nakota Simona Illa.
Allah Allah Bomani, acuna and Hannah jetty human Bob, why no matter
what, Cebu or no solder, from Kobe to LA hockey muslimin for in America, two men are now fully Olia da serious Hadith. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had told the companions before that you people, you come to me
So that I'm a judge in your Madison in your cases, and I'm only a human being, and it may be that one of you can present his case more eloquent and in a more convincing way than the other. And I give my verdict according to that which I he. So if I judge for one of you, and I give you something that is not your right and does not belong to you, then you should not take it. Because I am giving you a piece of the fire. The vessel Allahu alayhi wa sallam has taught the companions this, but it seems to be Bashir and a seal of an aura. And this bunny obey they didn't care about all of this. So they presented their case in an eloquent fashion, when the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam stood for
them, and he stood with them. And tada.
Look that and now on the apparent cataldo, the Allahu anhu has been defeated in his argument on the apparent so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said to him to add salt on the wound. He said to me, somehow, so not what a terrible thing you came up with Okada accusing people that are innocent of theft, that you can imagine how katedraali Allahu anhu is feeling. So he said, I got up. And I felt really bad and regretful, and I said, I wish I had lost all my wealth and all my family, and I did not speak to the solar muscle, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he's very hard.
And he said, that's it. I will not speak to him about this case any longer, so that it doesn't make things worse. So Qatada, he goes back to his uncle refer.
All depressed, sad and worried. And he told him what had happened. Muscle Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, so the fire upon hearing this, he said Allah who Stan Allahumma Stan loves help an eight I see. Why did he say that? Because Firstly, shield has been stolen. His food has been stolen. His case has been dismissed by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And on top of this, he seems to be the bad one, because he falsely accused a Muslim without any clear evidence. So it's a calamity right now that has befallen leafa nkhata Allahumma siddhappa. She is from Benny obaidul. The tribe that stole the shield, they realized they can't hide their lie no longer. Now the whole Medina is
looking for the shield very soon they might get caught. So the tribe gets together late at night. And they begin to plan secretly. What are they going to do with the show? How are they going to hide it and how are they going to get rid of it? So someone decided that let's go throw it at a juice house. Okay, good plan. They agreed to it. They took the shield plate at night and they throw it in the backyard of a shield of a Jew. In El Medina. We said that the Jews lived in Medina at the time.
The next day.
They found people found the shield that the Jews house, Benny obey the queen and got it. They went to law school of law sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and they said Ah, Allah, we caught the one who stole the shield. He is the shield. It was with a Jewish man. He's the one who stole it. You see, we're not the thieves. It's the Jews who are the thieves over and over again. Take the show when hamdulillah the cases over benio Vedic Finally, they are innocent. Qatada referred now look bad in the Muslim community. And the Jews have been accused once again. All good all hamdulillah. However, what's about to happen next is unexpected. No one saw it coming. what is about to happen next.
mahoma law said that.
It raised the concept of manners in Islam to a whole new level. Allah subhanho wa Taala wasn't going to remain silent over injustice that had just occurred on Earth. Doesn't matter who's involved. injustice is unacceptable. For lost partner who has been a witness to everything that has happened from the beginning to the end. A lot of social has seen this fraud and theft and deception and lie and accusation of the Jewish innocent man for loss of Hannah who did not let this go by and he revealed 10 in the Quran in surah. Nisa, the highlight is severe and dangerous crime that had just happened in the Muslim community among the Sahaba of the Allahu Allahu Akbar. Before we get to the
ahead, let's just analyze something he as a Muslim, as a Muslim, you'd question why would the truth be exposed? Let's just keep the blame on the Jews. They hate us anyway. They tried to kill the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam several times, and every chance they have to attack Islam, they'll attack it.
And these people, the Jews, they don't even know what justice is. And they don't even know what matters is up until this day. We see that and they killed probably
And they killed messengers and our conflict, Muslims conflict with the Jews will remain until the last date until the shell comes out. And until he kills the shell, and then the believers after that will kill the Jews. In other words, our war with them is until the day of judgment.
So why would the Quran come down and expose the situation? It looks good as it is an activist activist analysis that buddy obeyed it from the unsolved without data from the unsolved and who are the answer? The allies of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his interest is with the unser, they supported the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they aided him. And they provided a home for him in the mahadji. Dean when they came to Medina, and they fight in the battles of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam. There his army pretty much, and they defend him against the enemy, and they defend him against the Jews. Yeah, and it's a very awkward situation for something to come up right now and expose alongside the believers, and logically as a Muslim.
At the time you assume that's it, let the matter go. Keep the blame on the Jews. They deserve it and keep the truth hidden. exposing the truth right now. exposing the truth right now can cause more harm and damage than any good. It can cause a conflict and a fitna between the believers. And if the truth was exposed, this will give the Jews the upper hand. And they'll use it as an arrow and as a sword against Islam and Muslim in in the war against Islam and the Muslims. And they'll take this story to their advantage, and they'll be famous, and they will mock us, and they will celebrate this occasion for ease and ease as they did.
However, Justice Aladdin is more beloved to Allah subhanho wa Taala, than injustice in the law.
It is a law who commands justice, and manners comes first. Doesn't matter. So what is it to do someone else? manners comes first in Islam. This is the methodology that Allah subhanho wa Taala wants us to adopt, and he wants us to practice. The truth comes first. Justice comes first. Even if it's against your own self, as a lot of social he says, coo coo, I mean, always stand up for justice. And fujichrome even if it's against yourself, when I'm fully calm, I will validate anyone, even if it's against your own father and mother, even if it's against your own children and your own family members, stand for justice always stand for justice. Islam teaches us to be truthful. No
matter what the situation before he is. If you're supposed to stand against yourself. Imagine then against others when you go in your life and you deceive and your fraud against others.
Even these came down Allah subhanho wa Taala insulted Nisa he says, in an Zonda la Calcutta will help Lita Kuma VEDA nursey Bhima Raka La
La La Nina Hasina. That's the first of the 10 I had a lot of social he says, indeed, our messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam We have revealed upon you the book so that you can judge the people and judge between the people by that which Allah subhanho wa Taala has taught you not by what you see is right and wrong by that which Allah has taught us what is right and wrong. The Takuma in a nurse female cola when I tell her he nasima and the do not defend the betrayal do not defend the deceiver been invaded. And Bashir and all these people and I see it over and over. Do not defend these people. A lot of social called them in the Quran. Or in in betrayals for one incident. He called
them hot in in deceivers in betrayals Allahu Akbar. Look what bad manners would lead to the fact that Allah gives them a title and how he betrays. they betrayed the deen of Allah azza wa jal, and they betrayed the trust they were supposed to carry. And that is that a Muslim is supposed to be truthful, and standing for justice and honesty, in all his dealings and all these words and all these sayings are still fitting law in the law kind of a full on Mahima want to share the Annie levina
in the law, woman can Hawaiian and Athena allow social gifts further instructions to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he says to him, and do not argue on those on their behalf want to share deal? Do not argue on behalf of the one who deceives himself. But you know, apparently, Benny obeyed it. They deceived other Muslims, but a lot of soldiers considered that they deceive themselves. If and when you lie against others and you blame others. You've actually deceived your own self. Allah subhanaw taala calls it one or two
levina Luna infosum in hip nankana, Hawaiian and Athena, Allah does not love. He does not love the bad manners. Allah hates the bad manners and Hawaiian and a theme, meaning the one who betrays, however to sinful betray and deceiver. Allah hates such a person because of his characteristic and manner that he carries a lot of social he says,
Yes, the food I mean a nurse. When I stole food, I mean alone. They they feed the people, well as the food I mean a law and they did not have any fear of a loss or shall well who was my home? And he's with them. He can see them. He can hear them. Well, who am I? If you be too
cold, if you bet you tune when they gathered secretly at night, you have a meaning together secretly at night. And they began to speak Malay automaton code, what a lot of socialists displeased off, hang out at night and begin to plot and plan what they're going to do the next day. A lot of social hurt all of this. And he says yes, the phone I mean a nurse, they feed the people and how they would look in the sight of the people with the fear of Allah subhanaw taala what is the food I'm in love? Or who am I?
What can Allahu
Allah and Allah subhanahu wa tada was well aware, and encompassing of what they were doing a lot of socials, *, tougher and tougher. And To * with a man whom Phil hayati, Tonya, law, social now is addressing
that false, that false deceiving lawyer that stood in defense of Bernie obaidul. And he had no idea about what was going on. He was just good and he used his gift a lot gave him eloquence to displease Allah subhanaw taala law social said to him, hantam
Allah,
God, you defended these criminals in this wealthy life, good
karma, who's going to defend them on the day of judgment? Who's going to stand and be your lawyer and represent you on the day of judgment? When you've lied, and you've deceived others in this life? We're thinking out someone who's gonna come stand for you and defend you on the Day of Judgment. Bring a lawyer that day if you can bring a lawyer, actually the only lawyer on that day is going to be Olympus, Allah so Allah says Allah to Allah for him. What to eliminate a de matar shadow shalom Dima, can we actually born your own body is going to Yanni basically bring evidence that witness against you? So how the la familia de la la Han who Millman kiama amania poonawalla him Akilah who's
going to represent them? Then Allah subhanaw taala says he's the hope woman Yama and we have lived anyone who does wrong to others, like Benny obeyed it. They did wrong to Katahdin Riba, and they did wrong to the Jewish man. A lot of so shall he says, anyone who does wrong to others, and we have limbed up. So, oh, he does wrong to himself, he commits a sin in private, familiar stuff.
And then he seeks a last forgiveness and after that, he or she delay,
you will find that the doors of Dover open Allah subhanho wa Taala will accept eastover you will find a lot of social, the old forgiving the old merciful Subhan Allah can In other words, rush, rush to October, if you violated the rights of others, if you fight against others, if you've put others in wicked and weird situations, then Russia October, Russia October, if it was between you and your brothers, if it was between you and your wife, and you know that she has a right upon you in an Mahal, in something that belonged to both of you, and then you divorced and you ran away with whatever it is, go back and return it. Yes, she did. Let her fall over Hina he the law of all Allah,
Allah so shall he says woman Yes If man for in Cebu Allah enough say, okay, and Allahu Allah man hakima and anyone who commits a sin only brings punishment upon himself and a lot of socialists ever knowing and never lies. Then Allah subhanaw taala says, when they see puppy at an Eastman from yummy v Berry and
Dan and Wiseman, Medina, and whoever listen to the IRL, and whoever commits an offense does something or he commits a sin and then he blames an innocent person, like the Jewish man that was accused innocently. So what even if it's a do it doesn't give you the right to go and accuse him innocently. What happens when you actually copy Atlanta with man from May or maybe he but he and he says,
boy, Dan Wiseman Rubina. He has taken upon himself a slander. He is considered he's considered from among bear he didn't
If Allah subhanaw taala and bear He
is someone that just accuses someone falsely, well, his bullet is a crime much worse than lying. Where Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said, manda Cara
Lee or Eva who has a hula hoop scenario, Johanna had to be in a coffee, coffee. And
he says anyone
who has said something about his brother to make him look bad, then a lot of social will trap him in jahannam on the Day of Judgment, until he brings evidence to support that which he blamed his brother with topic is huge. That man is unacceptable. You need to know how to live together with good manners. With these coming amongst the However,
what if man Medina it's a big sin, to accuse others just like the media does, accusing people of something that they have nothing to do with? Imagine that just accusing one person and look how bad it is. Imagine accusing an entire community for the problems and for the crimes of one person. A lot of social consider such people.
If man, Medina, that's a question and a clean mistake, a lot of social, he brings down these Earth. So then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam took the show. And he returned it back to the pharaoh
who then ended up giving it as a Saba feasability law as I walk feasibility law, because it almost destroyed him. So he gave it as a sadhaka. But she is
the one who stole the the shield. Now he became worried because he's about to be sentenced in Medina
for the fitna that he stirred and lit up. And he was embarrassed, he didn't want to show an expose his face to the to the Muslim community anymore. And has exposed him AR came down that are going to be recited until the day of judgment. So he didn't want to remain in that community.
So what did he do? He ran, he ran to Makkah, he ran away to America. And he went to the machine and to the house of a lady known as soon as I've been too sad. Wrong, he should have he should have just pretended. But now look how he's making his case even worse for himself. So he ran away. He ended up in some effort into someone's house. And there are a lot of social reveals more
about what he just did. A lot of social he says woman you check these out straight off the woman you shall
mean da da da da da da da, da, da, meaning no Li moto Allah. Honestly, he was at Mozilla, Allah azza wa jal, he says, and whoever opposes the messenger, after the guidance has been revealed,
the guidance has been revealed, make it over and achieved. But he decided to oppose in the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam, after the guidance became legally within the law, social, he says when he opposed the guidance, and he followed other than the way of the believers, newer Li moto Allah, we will drive him into that which he wants, ultimately, mostly he jahannam and we'll throw him into jahannam was at Mozilla. And what a horrible destination that is, he should have just repented and admitted his fault, and began to reform and rectify himself. Well, law social would have forgiven him and you would have accepted from him, however, arrogance, this these are for us as well. If
you've done something wrong, don't run away from it. Don't run, no matter how bad you think you look in society. Doesn't matter. Remember, who am I? Whom
is the one that's watching? What is the food I mean, Allah, people that do this, Allah says didn't feed him. He didn't do the right thing. Go back to the guidance of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you owe someone something, go and return it. Especially between husband and wife, people that promised him or her and then when an issue happens, they run away altogether. I got nothing to do with me. Who's gonna follow me? I love would follow you until he brings you on the Day of Judgment. Don't run away, and don't do that bad manners. So the Muslims, they followed up the matter of
but she they followed it up.
He was a poet from among the poets of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Whenever he saw Allahu alayhi wa sallam told her son, go to Mecca, go follow Bashir. tomorrow to see Mark going fire at him poetry, fire at them poetry back then yonny poetry to each other was considered even worse than the heat of the sword. So I sent my favorite one we went to Mecca, and he began to humiliate sulev into soccer. And he began to humiliate those who took care of Bashir humiliated them with his poetry, and they basically lost their dignity and their honor with his poetry for support Allah sulekha the lady that had provided residents
For him and took him into her refuge. She went and grabbed the subtle of Bashir because he had come with is also Campbell. There's a subtle she took it and she went all the way to one of the valleys of luck and she threw it in there. And she said to him, Alicia Hassan, Makati at the Hyatt. She said What a horrible person you are. You gave me the poetry of Hassan, which just destroyed my reputation, and you didn't bring any kind of goodness. So he was rejected from Makkah, and he was rejected from South Africa into South house. All of this rejection from he rejection from me, he's got nowhere to stay. All of this because bad manners, deceiving and cheating others innocently
blaming or blaming people that are innocent. That matters and arrogance on top of this, he doesn't even want to repent. Eventually, this is such a person. He lives a depressed life. No one cares about him anymore. No one wants to look after his affairs anymore. So Panama, he was a Muslim. And he ended up being
accused of being a moaner. So Pamela, and I had came down in this case to teach you an IV manners. So read them over and over again and reflect over them and let them know that we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to rectify our matters. We asked him subhanho wa Taala to make us among people of the people who benefit from the reminders of the Quran and the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. akuto stokfella la honey welcome, first of all who in who who will follow Him and hamdulillah
