Also guys what I wanted to speak about
today was the issue of a sadaqah.
Al Mutamil
fihayatin abi sallallahu alaihi wasallam, the guy who
contemplates on, you know, the haya, the life
of the Prophet
will see that he was a very poor
person.
He wasn't the richest of them.
You know, one time Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha,
she said,
once upon a time the Prophet entered upon
us.
He said,
do you have anything?
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi,
Aisha radhiallahu ta'ala she replied back and she
said,
we don't have anything inside the house
so he said so today I'm going to
fast.
There would be times he wakes up guys
and there's nothing in the
house. Have we ever, like, woken up and
we checked our fridges and there's nothing in
there?
The most we'll find is, you know, small
amounts of food inside the kitchen or, you
know, inside the fridge.
There will be times the prophet woke up
and had nothing. Even one time
as he came to Sahih al Bukhari,
the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he left his home.
And then he ended up meeting Abu Bakr
So
he said,
what was the reason as to why you
left the home?
So he said,
So what's the point of me mentioning these
narrations?
Am I trying to encourage the people to
be poor in the month of Ramadan
and not to gain a, you know,
a living,
not to work,
and not to go and, you know,
to go and search for his provision.
But even though the prophet
was so poor,
Ibn Abbas, he told us in hadith.
He was from the most generous of people.
And he would be more generous
in the month of Ramadan when Jibril used
to come to him.
And he would be more quicker,
you know, to give
sadaqa, to pay charity,
then how the,
the riha, the wind comes and it blows
past you.
When the wind comes, does it come slowly
crawling? La, of course it doesn't.
Comes very quickly and he passes by.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was quicker than
that.
You know,
an example that ibn Abbas radhiallahu ta'ala anhu
is trying to give.
From the poorest of them and at the
same time he would never say no.
