We'll be ending this soon enough inshaAllah for

00:00:26--> 00:00:28

all of you. But there's a few more

00:00:28--> 00:00:30

hadith that I think are interesting and important

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

for those who are looking to get married

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

or those who are married.

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

And worthy of contemplation and some degree of

00:00:37--> 00:00:37

reflection.

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

And this is a famous hadith that I

00:00:39--> 00:00:41

want to make sure that everyone understands exactly

00:00:41--> 00:00:42

what it means. So this is what he

00:00:42--> 00:00:42

said

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

I honestly feel that this

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

is probably the one of the most profound

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

things he ever said in

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

his life and everything he said was very

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

profound. This was just

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

amazing. So he's saying Alaihi Wasallam, It's also

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

bhanisa. Meaning I'm offering you my final pieces

00:01:17--> 00:01:19

of advice or I'm asking you to be

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

the best you can be with your wives

00:01:21--> 00:01:23

or with women in your life. Then he

00:01:23--> 00:01:24

explains.

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

Is a rib that a lady women are

00:01:28--> 00:01:30

plated from ribs.

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

Now this is figuratively.

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

This is figurative. This is not biological.

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

Okay? This is not biological. We are not

00:01:37--> 00:01:38

This is not what he's talking about, alayhis

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

salaam. If that's what you choose to understand,

00:01:40--> 00:01:41

then there's no point of this hadith.

00:01:42--> 00:01:43

Like if you decide that this is what

00:01:43--> 00:01:44

he No. This is biological.

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

They were created from a rib.

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

You come from a fetus when they come

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

from rib. If that's what you're gonna decide

00:01:49--> 00:01:50

to do, first of all it doesn't you

00:01:50--> 00:01:52

cannot argue that scientifically

00:01:52--> 00:01:55

at all and it takes away whatever this

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

hadith is trying to explain. This hadith is

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

giving you an abstract concept and it's doing

00:01:59--> 00:02:00

it through a figurative

00:02:00--> 00:02:01

content

00:02:01--> 00:02:04

understanding. The Hawa came from Adam alaihis salam's

00:02:04--> 00:02:04

rib.

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

This is what this is talking about is

00:02:07--> 00:02:08

that

00:02:08--> 00:02:11

what ribs do is that they protect protect

00:02:11--> 00:02:12

the chest, they protect the heart, they protect

00:02:12--> 00:02:14

them the most important, you know, any vital

00:02:14--> 00:02:17

organs that you have. And that's the idea

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

behind this, you know, this concept. But he

00:02:19--> 00:02:19

says alaihis

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

salam,

00:02:22--> 00:02:22

The most

00:02:24--> 00:02:27

the thing that is that is least consistent

00:02:27--> 00:02:29

within the is the the head of it,

00:02:29--> 00:02:30

the top of it. Where it's a little

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

bit It has a curvature to it. So

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

if you go and you try to change

00:02:33--> 00:02:36

the rib by taking that curvature away and

00:02:36--> 00:02:37

making it straight, you'll break

00:02:38--> 00:02:40

it and if you leave it, it'll forever

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

stay forever stay curved. And this is very

00:02:42--> 00:02:43

simple. You see,

00:02:44--> 00:02:45

when you get

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

married or working with You'll find that the

00:02:47--> 00:02:50

women in your life are way more emotional

00:02:50--> 00:02:52

than you are. And they care about things

00:02:52--> 00:02:53

that you don't

00:02:53--> 00:02:55

necessarily care about way more than you do.

00:02:55--> 00:02:56

And it will bother you as a man

00:02:56--> 00:02:58

whether it's your whether it's your daughter, or

00:02:58--> 00:02:59

it's your mother, or it's your spouse, or

00:02:59--> 00:03:02

it's It's gonna bother you. Now, the thing

00:03:02--> 00:03:03

is

00:03:03--> 00:03:06

that that thing that you find bothersome is

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

what allows them to take care

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

It

00:03:09--> 00:03:12

is what allows them to produce life and

00:03:12--> 00:03:13

nurture life.

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

If doing that piece was up to you,

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

there would be no life.

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

If Ademayesen was responsible of that piece, this

00:03:20--> 00:03:22

story would have end way earlier than than

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

where it is right now. But it's because

00:03:24--> 00:03:27

that they have that ability. Imagine what it

00:03:27--> 00:03:28

takes to basically

00:03:29--> 00:03:32

have life inside you. Grow off your own

00:03:32--> 00:03:34

blood, off your off the nutrition that you

00:03:34--> 00:03:36

carry, the nutrients in your and then you

00:03:36--> 00:03:37

produce it from your body and then it

00:03:37--> 00:03:40

continues to take its its nutrition from you.

00:03:40--> 00:03:42

And it's gonna You're gonna spend with it

00:03:42--> 00:03:44

with this with this living thing,

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

you know, 22 to 23 hours a

00:03:48--> 00:03:50

day. How how long do you spend with

00:03:50--> 00:03:50

your kids?

00:03:52--> 00:03:53

How long do you spend with your kids?

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

15 minutes and then like take them away.

00:03:57--> 00:03:59

Unless you wanna see him flying through the

00:03:59--> 00:04:00

window, take them away.

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

If you want to see him enjoy it,

00:04:02--> 00:04:03

take him away.

00:04:03--> 00:04:05

A man's sabr, I mean, especially when they're

00:04:05--> 00:04:06

young, is very limited. It gets a little

00:04:06--> 00:04:07

bit better as you go older. As you

00:04:07--> 00:04:09

go older, you get a little bit better.

00:04:09--> 00:04:10

But what allows

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

a lady to take care of of this

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

of this life that's being produced and to

00:04:15--> 00:04:16

put up with it and to love it

00:04:16--> 00:04:18

the way it needs to be loved.

00:04:18--> 00:04:21

Because these small creatures, they need they need

00:04:21--> 00:04:24

an excessive amount of attention and love ongoingly.

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

What allows you to do that is the

00:04:26--> 00:04:28

same thing that you seem to have problem

00:04:28--> 00:04:30

with. It's the same aspect of her character

00:04:30--> 00:04:32

that you don't like. You can't have your

00:04:32--> 00:04:34

cake and eat it too. It's either this

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

or that. Either she's going to be a

00:04:36--> 00:04:37

woman, and there's gonna be aspects of her

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

character that you don't necessarily agree with. If

00:04:39--> 00:04:41

you're going to try and change it, you'll

00:04:41--> 00:04:44

break her. You'll break what makes her That's

00:04:44--> 00:04:47

their femininity. You want to break that? You

00:04:47--> 00:04:48

want to break that? You can't If you

00:04:48--> 00:04:50

break that, then what stops? How are you

00:04:50--> 00:04:52

going to There's no life. There's no marriage,

00:04:52--> 00:04:54

there's no family. Forget about the kids, forget

00:04:54--> 00:04:55

about the kids.

00:04:56--> 00:04:58

You actually think you're that awesome that someone

00:04:58--> 00:05:00

can put up with you all life? You

00:05:00--> 00:05:03

think that much of yourself? Look at yourself

00:05:03--> 00:05:05

in the mirror and you go home. And

00:05:05--> 00:05:06

imagine this person that's putting up with you

00:05:06--> 00:05:08

for 40 years, you think that's yeah, they

00:05:08--> 00:05:10

should be thankful for that.

00:05:10--> 00:05:10

This?

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

Yeah. This is not a good package.

00:05:13--> 00:05:14

The fact that they put up with this

00:05:14--> 00:05:16

is actually because of that same thing that

00:05:16--> 00:05:18

you don't like. But But that's why they

00:05:18--> 00:05:19

put up with you. That's why they stay

00:05:19--> 00:05:21

in our homes, and they take care of

00:05:21--> 00:05:22

our children, and they take care of us,

00:05:22--> 00:05:24

and they put It's the same part that

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

you don't like.

00:05:26--> 00:05:27

But either you accept it

00:05:28--> 00:05:30

or you try and change it. You try

00:05:30--> 00:05:32

and change it, you break them. You break

00:05:32--> 00:05:33

them, you take away their femininity, and then

00:05:33--> 00:05:36

this whole this the house and the children

00:05:36--> 00:05:37

all collapses

00:05:37--> 00:05:40

or you leave it, wallaawaja. It'll stay with

00:05:40--> 00:05:42

that curvature, with that difference that you don't

00:05:42--> 00:05:43

that you don't necessarily agree with.

00:05:44--> 00:05:46

So as a man, you have to understand

00:05:47--> 00:05:48

the way your wife is.

00:05:49--> 00:05:51

That is without that there would be no

00:05:51--> 00:05:53

life. There would be no children. There would

00:05:53--> 00:05:54

be no continuity

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

of marriage. None of this would have worked.

00:05:57--> 00:05:58

It's because of the things that you don't

00:05:58--> 00:06:01

necessarily understand or agree with

00:06:01--> 00:06:04

but that's what allows this to work. So

00:06:04--> 00:06:05

leave it. Alaihi Wasallam is telling you look

00:06:05--> 00:06:07

there's no point. She is there to protect

00:06:07--> 00:06:08

your heart. She is the protection.

00:06:09--> 00:06:11

There's this curvature. There's little aspect of her

00:06:11--> 00:06:13

character you don't agree with. You wanna go

00:06:13--> 00:06:14

and try and change it? Go.

00:06:15--> 00:06:16

He'll break it.

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

So you won't get what you want or

00:06:19--> 00:06:20

you leave it. If you leave it, it's

00:06:20--> 00:06:21

not going to fix. It's gonna stay the

00:06:21--> 00:06:22

same.

00:06:25--> 00:06:27

So just just

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

be patient and be loving and take care

00:06:29--> 00:06:31

of the women in your life and accept

00:06:31--> 00:06:32

them for what they are because if they

00:06:32--> 00:06:34

weren't the way they are, you wouldn't be

00:06:34--> 00:06:34

here.

00:06:35--> 00:06:37

If my mother was not I wouldn't be

00:06:37--> 00:06:38

sitting here.

00:06:39--> 00:06:41

My father would have buried me somewhere in

00:06:41--> 00:06:41

the backyard

00:06:42--> 00:06:44

long many, many, many years ago, Yeah.

00:06:45--> 00:06:47

And this is the reality of life

00:06:48--> 00:06:49

and I find this this wisdom in what

00:06:49--> 00:06:51

he's saying alayhis salatu waslam is honestly way

00:06:51--> 00:06:53

beyond I think even what the people at

00:06:53--> 00:06:54

that time understood.

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

I think now we understand it way more

00:06:56--> 00:06:58

as as we have more clarity on the

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

psychological difference between men and women and how

00:07:00--> 00:07:02

we see problems, and how we argue problems,

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

how we look at solutions, how we think

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

about life in general. There are differences between

00:07:06--> 00:07:07

how we process things.

00:07:08--> 00:07:10

Where in marriage you're not there, neither of

00:07:10--> 00:07:11

the spouses are trying to You don't try

00:07:11--> 00:07:12

to change the other person. You try to

00:07:12--> 00:07:14

change what they are, you change

00:07:15--> 00:07:16

This works the opposite way by the way.

00:07:16--> 00:07:18

Now if you're trying to change a man,

00:07:18--> 00:07:19

and from what a man is, then you

00:07:19--> 00:07:21

don't have a man at the end. You

00:07:21--> 00:07:22

wanna change it? You don't have a man.

00:07:22--> 00:07:23

You don't have a protector or provider or

00:07:23--> 00:07:25

someone you can depend upon or someone who

00:07:25--> 00:07:27

who actually will will come through when you

00:07:27--> 00:07:29

need your you can you can change a

00:07:29--> 00:07:30

man from what he is but then you

00:07:30--> 00:07:31

don't get to want. The same thing.

00:07:32--> 00:07:34

The same thing? You wanna change her? No.

00:07:34--> 00:07:36

Don't change her. Let her be the way

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

Allah subhanahu wa'ala created her. With the stuff

00:07:38--> 00:07:40

that you like and the stuff that you

00:07:40--> 00:07:42

don't necessarily. Something you agree with and you

00:07:42--> 00:07:44

don't. You just let it because that's why

00:07:44--> 00:07:45

this whole thing works.

00:07:46--> 00:07:47

If you try to

00:07:48--> 00:07:50

and we've been doing that here. This time

00:07:50--> 00:07:51

of life we decide that we're gonna change

00:07:51--> 00:07:53

one another. We change men and change women.

00:07:53--> 00:07:55

Well, let's see how that's gonna work. They

00:07:55--> 00:07:56

tried that before it didn't work.

00:07:56--> 00:07:58

Other people tried that before it completely failed

00:07:58--> 00:08:00

and families died off and relationships were miserable

00:08:00--> 00:08:02

and people weren't happy anymore. And he tells

00:08:02--> 00:08:04

us how he tells them this one piece.

00:08:04--> 00:08:05

And he's talking to men specifically.

00:08:07--> 00:08:08

Just just don't

00:08:09--> 00:08:11

just take care of them. Do your job

00:08:11--> 00:08:13

with them. And don't go around trying to

00:08:13--> 00:08:14

change them.

00:08:15--> 00:08:16

The reason that you're here is because they

00:08:16--> 00:08:17

that to be fascinating.

00:08:16--> 00:08:17

that to be fascinating.
