And the theme of etiquettes of Salah is
what I'm going to be continuing over the
next couple of weeks covering inshallah all the
ones that I want to cover and hopefully
it can be a reference for children and
for students and for people who want to
know more and this one is a hadith
that's it will draw a smile on your
face because it's the way he said it,
alayhi salatu wasalam he said, alayhi salatu wasalam
man akala thuman or basalan fal ya'atazilna
wal yaqood fee baytih no no no wa
fee riwayati muslim qala man akala thuman or
basalan or kurathan fala yaqraban masjidana Omar al
-Khattab tells us this is a narration, it's
not a hadith, it's a narration from Sayyidina
Omar al-Khattab he says, and I don't
know, the scholars have a little bit of
a difference of opinion on authenticating this narration
but most of them use it and I'm
just going to tell you what it says
that Sayyidina Omar al-Khattab remembers that during
the time of the Prophet alayhi salatu wasalam
if someone smelled of basal or thum in
the masjid the Prophet would order, and they
would carry him and throw him in the
baqi' wallahi, this narration is in the books,
I didn't make this up now if you
think about this etiquette, the Prophet alayhi salatu
wasalam said if you eat garlic, raw garlic
or raw onions and you stink, then stay
in your house for tonight pray isha with
your family, no problem, come tomorrow if today's
meal was that, just stay home he said
this alayhi salatu wasalam knowing that all the
Muslims at the time loved to come to
the masjid and loved to be there this
is where people came, where their friends were,
this is how they met really the older
Muslims, the early generation, they lived a better
social life like you can't see, if you're
married, you can't see your friends every night
your head will fly off you can't do
it, you can't go but if you think
about it, if all your friends prayed isha
in the masjid everyday, you get to see
your friends every single day and shafa a
few minutes ago, you get to see, you
get to be social every single night, so
people like to come they like, they wanted
to come, it was actually something that was
negative in their day they couldn't come to
pray isha because all their buddies are there
this is a problem for us, that's one
of the problems a lot of people are
here today, they pray, but their real friends
are somewhere else their friends that they spend
time with, they don't come to the masjid
so for them it's a struggle to come
here all the time because it's outside of
what their normal day would look like so
it's either you're going to bring your friends
to the masjid they're going to take you
out, or you're going to change your friends
and there's no fourth option here, in general
so the problem with how he would say
this is because everyone wanted to come and
even though they didn't carry the right etiquette
he would tell them, they still wanted to
come so he would tell them, stay home,
stay home literally, stay home may he sit
in his house if he's going to burp
and cause a public health crisis, then stay
home if you don't have the ability to
come and make sure, because you're in proximity
of other people because you're in proximity of
other people we stand in line together, so
if you're coughing your lungs out and Allah
knows how many viruses you picked up on
your way here or if you're ill, and
you've been running a marathon and you came
in and you don't have a deodorant in
your bag then maybe you pray at home
tonight and then tomorrow you come in for
isha after he taught this as an etiquette
because there's a respect for the people around
you this is the degree of sensitivity that
a Muslim carries where a Muslim is not
only sensitive to doing the ibadah but also
making sure that he does not offend the
people around him he's not going to come
and cause other people to not enjoy their
ibadah and not enjoy their experience because your
bad odor does not bother you the human
being is not disgusted from his physical or
spiritual filth think about this long and hard
tonight you're not disgusted from your own physical
filth and you're not disgusted from your own
spiritual filth either everyone else's kubr is disgusting,
but not yours everyone else's rijab is horrible,
but not yours everyone else's riyat is clear
and obvious, but not yours everyone else's envy
is not counted, but not yours same thing
goes for everything so the Muslim, the true
Muslim is sensitive to himself and what it
is that he is projecting physically and spiritually
towards others and he's interested in making sure
that that does not bother you so yes,
even if I come off in a way
that forget about just the way I smell
physically to you when I come to the
masjid but also the way I come off
to you as a human being am I
too aggressive to you?
am I too direct?
am I making the interaction that you and
I are having negative because of the way
I'm acting then you're sensitive to that he
taught this, he told this hadith is a
normal, natural consequence of a way of thought
that the sahaba did not find the sahaba,
no one objected my diet is...
no, he understands they get it no one
objected, they understood this but they felt that
maybe for salah it's okay because it's our
friends and we're there Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman,
Zubair, Ali, Sa'ad, Saeed what's the big
deal?
they're all our buddies no, if you're gonna
stay, come tomorrow come for fajr maybe, if
you had a heavy dinner, you stay forever
so we talk about this is why every
year before Ramadan I speak into the nothingness
of the world and say can you consider
not eating a full meal before taraweeh Consider
just think about it not for yourself.
I don't care like if you want to
be healthy don't want to be healthy It's
your problem, but yeah He's very difficult for
the people beside you when you're trying to
pray And you won't pray anyways like you'll
do eight wakaat and you'll be half asleep
during them And then you'll leave it's because
physically we are the way we are anyways
I wanted to share that with you because
I thought yeah, it was a very direct
Hadith from the Prophet There's no two ways
to understand it And there's no way to
figuratively understand it unless you want to zoom
out to understand the concept behind it Which
I think is what we should be interested
in Be careful of how you influence and
impact people around you it matters
