Adnan Rajeh – Recitations from the book of Prophetic Descriptions 10

Tonight inshallah ta'ala with reciting for this

week inshallah as well I'll recite a hadith

from the kitab al-shamail and then at

the end of this week inshallah I will

kind of conclude it and move on to

something else afterwards inshallah ta'ala We could

do this honestly for the entirety of the

year and still not go through all the

hadith But I think there's some there's barakah

in reciting a hadith that talk about his

character alayhi salatu wassalam in his life, and

it's a beautiful thing to do within this

blessed month.

So the hadith tonight This

hadith is in the kitab al-shamail for

him to come to a full meal and

share it with his family for him to

come to a full meal and share it

with his family this is a big blessing

so he refused to accept this blessing so

he refused to accept this blessing in a

position that did not show this blessing respect

in a position that did not show this

blessing respect if someone walks into the room

and you respect them and you're lying down,

you don't stay lying down either you sit

up or you stand up and you greet

them appropriately if you respect them well so

the Prophet considered the blessing of Allah this

meal that he's about to eat to be

a gift, a guest sent to him by

Allah so he refused to take it lying

down or reclining so he would sit up

out of respect to take it and I

think it's a beautiful adab for us to

understand from him even when it came to

food he saw that as something worthy of

him showing gratitude and showing respect to Allah

he would, as I said, maybe drink a

cup of tea he didn't drink tea back

then but whatever he drank as a hot

beverage he would do it sometimes but I'm

talking about a full meal he would always

he wouldn't have that meal lying down showing

respect another hadith in this collection that I

want to narrate to you quickly so

this hadith is also an authentic hadith it's

in the collection of Imam Muslim as well

and in it it says that he saw

the Prophet brought tamar a meal ...

is when you sit like this when one

knee goes up so either the right or

the left doesn't make a difference and you

eat this way so that's how he would

eat he points out in the hadith that

he ate like that meaning he was very

hungry so eating this way would make him

eat slower see when you put pressure on

your belly your belly, you feel hunger as

big as the empty sack is right, the

stomach the bigger the empty sack, the more

hungry you feel the smaller the empty sack,

the less hungry you feel so they would

tie rocks to their stomachs to make the

sack smaller to stick it together so they

wouldn't feel hunger and when you sit like

this, your sack doesn't have as much room

to expand obviously you can see I'm uncomfortable

doing this because of my one pack, it's

difficult to even do this but Imam Muslim

would do this because it would keep his

stomach small so if he was really hungry

he would still be able to eat slowly

in a way that was not showing that

he was that hungry so he would often

eat in this way and when he didn't

eat in this way he would eat sitting

cross-legged وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِأَصَابِعِهِ السَّلَاةِ he would

use the three fingers for food وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ

بِيَمِينِهِ he would always eat with his right

hand وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِكِلْتَ يَدَيْهِ sometimes he would

use both hands to eat as well all

of that is from his hadith I hope

that was of benefit to you I'll recite

the last one
