Collection, imam Muslim. And the series that'll or
the series of hadith that I'm going to
share with you over the next 2 weeks,
this week and next week, is going to
be talking about humbleness
as a topic of of of great interest.
I think, for
for not just Muslims, but for the human
race, in total. Understanding the the what the
word means and how to practice it. And
I'll be trying to cover cover that throughout
these short kawwalta, inshallah. Just walk away sha.
There's indication in the in the books of
tariq and the history books that he is
one of the Prophet alaihis salatu wa sallam
old friends before Islam. And he accepted Islam
a little bit late but, and one of
my teachers and the reason I'm saying this
because I was reminded today by a book
that I read
many moons ago. And I'm going to go
on a
goose hunt to find. One of my teachers
at the Mujamba that I studied at, he
wrote a small risallah
And he went through all the books of
Hadith and and and Sira. And he and
he put and he plucked out all of
the people the prophet alaihi wasallam was close
to. Like when you think about him alaihis
salatu wasalam before Islam, did he have friends
or he was friendless? Of course he had
friends. He was a very social personality alaihis
salatu wasalam and very beloved by a lot
of individuals and he had people that he
was close to. Of course Abu Bakr takes
the
the lion's share of that. Yeah, he's number
1 on both sides. But he didn't know
a bunch of other people
He loved and respected. Some of them whom
accepted Islam early. Some of them who accepted
it late. And some of them who never
did. And, he
the the the risada was nice. He kind
of went through their names. I'm gonna find
it inshallah and then try and come and
maybe do a series just to share with
you the names and yeah. Although the lawhuana
is one of the prophet, alayhi sallam, his
early friends and there's a bunch of stories
about him but I'm not gonna take take
more of your time. So he said, alayhi
sallam, in this hadithqara.
So he said, 'Indeed Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has revealed to me
So, Ohayyah and tawalaw. I mean, he gave
me a separate revelation with this one command
attached to it. Which is actually very meaningful
if you understand what is meant because revelation
usually comes through Quran. Like usually, revelation from
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is going to be
Qur'anic.
Very rarely did the Jibreel come with revelation
that was not going to be Quran. It
happened very rarely.
It happened in the form of
of Jabir telling him
about a time he was going to be
assassinated or him coming and speaking to Khadija
before she passed away. So it was very
few times throughout the seal. You can count
them maybe 10, 15 times where if Jibril
came and there was no Quran involved. And
this hadith is indicating that this happened, That
that Jibril came and gave a piece of
revelation that is not Qur'anic and it's just
a piece of advice, something to tell the
people to do which is,
be humble.
Be humble.
So that no one will see themselves to
be superior to someone else. Al Fakhr is
is is, is for you to feel or
show or establish or demonstrate superiority over others.
You try to prove it by doing something
to show that you are better or more
important or more significant or held in higher
regards in life. You have higher status than
someone else. That's what fakhrra actually means and
it's an important word that I will unpack
for you over the next course of the
next 2 weeks.
So that no one has the ability or
the right or engaged in an activity where
they try to establish superiority over someone else.
Walayabriyahahadunalaahad
is that no one will
mistreat,
oppress
or transgress again. Albari
is when
you cross someone's line.
It's not crossing just any red line. No.
It's when you cross someone else's personal line
and you go into their space and you
take something that is theirs or you mistreat
them in a way that is oppressive.
What he connected for us here, which I
think is worth your contemplation, is that he
connected humbleness
with not having racism
and not having transgression.
Right? So he's he's connecting 2 things.
If you have if you have humbleness, if
humbleness is established and practiced, then you will
not see racism, which is what fakhr means.
And you will not see transgression,
which is a a Voluum.
And if you lack humbleness, then these two
things will prevail.
So when we see these 2,
behaviors, unfortunately,
increasing in their amount in the world or
existing, it's because of the lack of this
ethic.
And sayyidu akhlaqat Tawabar, as the as Ilham
al Hadam say. Sayidulakhlaq.
The master of all ethics is tawabar. The
master of all ethics. The most important of
all ethics is this one. If you don't
have this one, then you don't have anything.
Like, it doesn't matter what else you have.
This one,
even when it comes to being a good
Muslim. If you're a good Muslim and don't
have humbleness, then your good Islam will make
you arrogant, and that will walk you on
a plank right to jahannim. So it doesn't
help. Doesn't help. Even even even if you're
giving a better Muslim, if you don't have
humbleness attached to it, it takes you in
the wrong direction because now you'll use Islam
as reason to become superior and that will
walk you in the wrong direction. You'll milkiam,
you think you're going to jannah, you're going
the other direction because you lack this ethic.
So it's worthy of taking time to think
about and I think this hadith is a
good way to start.
