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
