Adnan Rajeh – English Tafseer Halaqah Surat Al-Taghabun #4

Collection in Abu Dawood and his Sunan with

the authentic with an authentic chain of narration

to us by Abu

And he tells us the prophet alaihi sallam

got on the 1 day and said the

following words, and the theme of unlawfulness of

harm is still recovering

here. And this is a heavy 1

and not the language, but really just the

con the topic or the concept the way

he says it, Alaihi Salatu wa sallam, as

he gets on the and he says this

thing. Most likely what he's referring to here

is that he he spoke on the mimba

outside of Jumuah, which he did

that's a topic for another day in terms

of, you know, how that's done or how

that can be done. But but

would go on the mimbar sometimes outside of

of Jumuah

to address the public and call people to

listen. Meaning there were times where the the

Muslims were required to come and listen

outside of Jummah that happened. And he did

that frequently enough alayhis salaam. But again, talking

about that is a whole different topic. I

don't wanna get into it. But anyways, he

got in the and he said the following

Oh, those

who have stated

the the words of iman with their tongues,

but iman is yet to enter their hearts.

So it's a heavy

it's a little bit of a

pinch he's giving alayhi salatu to certain people.

And of course, something had happened that led

up to him saying this, but but

this

don't backbite

others

and don't follow their

follow their don't search for their flaws and

shortcomings.

Don't look for the aspects of their lives

that they want to conceal from the eye

of eyes of other people out of shame,

embarrassment, or just privacy.

Don't follow that. Don't look for it. Don't

try to find something out about someone that

they don't

want you to find out or they they

put in some effort for you not to

find out. This is important. We all have

that. We all have aspects of our personal

lives that we don't want everyone knowing about.

Don't go looking for it. Don't go asking.

Don't try to find out things about others

that they don't necessarily want you to find

out.

There is a there's a

I I'm not gonna talk about the origin

of it, but there is an innate

desire within the nafs to do so.

You are programmed

within your nuffs to want to do that.

It's a part of your

build.

Why is it a whole different story? How

to get rid of it is a different

thing. But it's there. Just knowing that is

important, I think, for you to know that

that's a part of who you are. We

like to know things about people that are

personal, that are private, that are especially if

they're bad especially if they're bad, like specifically

if it's bad. If it's something negative, it's

something that is is a flaw or shortcomings,

it's extremely juicy. It's just you can you

can taste it and it's like it's like

better than ribs. People people want it. People

want to know. So don't allow yours don't

follow into that because it'll feed into it

because it's there. So the prophet alaihi sallam

and he said these words, those who act

like they are believers. They say it with

their tongues, but it's not in their hearts

yet because the mean meaning that they're not

practicing it yet.

Don't backbite.

Don't speak about people

behind their backs and don't don't look and

search for their privacies and that we should

do.

Said because the 1 who does, the 1

who seeks

the flaws and the privacies of others, Allah

will go after his.

And the 1 whom Allah goes after his

privacies,

he will expose him within his own house.

Within his own house, you'll

like he'll he'll expose you inside your home.

I forget about being exposed outside your own.

He'll expose you to inside your house, you'll

be exposed.

This is a very, very heavy hadith

and is a very important 1 as well.

Be aware of this is harm. Beware of

saying bad things about other people. Beware of

trying to figure out something about them that

they probably don't want you to know.

And you have no business knowing. Because if

you do that, then Allah

will

go after yours and then you'll be exposed

within your own house. There's no way you

can run away from him.

He'll he'll he'll get it out. And that's

not how we function. And all the harm

that he talks about, alaihis salaam, the majority

of it, it's not physical, it's not

steal and all that because that he talks

about simple stuff stuff that are psychological. Things

that are that go that we don't even

think about. You know? Because we'll we'll we'll

we'll share a conversation like that easily. Oh,

you're

you're it ended up he ended up I

always knew he was, yeah. Yeah. We always

knew that. And

we say these things where we beware, beware,

beware of backbiting, beware of of of going

after people's

because

we all have them. We all have something

we don't want people to know.

It's a part of being a human being.

If you don't want Allah going after that

and and exposing it, then, then don't go

after others. I hope that was a benefit

to
