Insha'Allah I will give the khatira and

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

after khatira we ask people to pray sunnah

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

and then allow for me to continue the

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

IDA lecture so if you don't mind socializing

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

in the lobby in the 10 jizak mullah

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

khair to allow me to continue barakallah and

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

generally speaking starting from next week all of

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

the IDA lectures will be happening after isha

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

anyways so we have to get into the

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

kind of norm or custom or habit of

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

praying sunnah and if you're not attending allow

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

the shaykh to give the lectures without too

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

much noise because we tend to like to

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

chat and so on.

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

Now we can use obviously the lobby and

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

the tent that's available for that insha'Allah

00:00:45 --> 00:00:45

ta'ala.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

So tonight I'm going to read two hadith

00:00:48 --> 00:00:56

insha'Allah from the chapter kitab al-shamali

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

imam al-tirmidhi the chapter bab ma ja

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

'a fi sifati muzahi rasool allahi sallallahu alayhi

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

wa sallam talking about his muzah, muzah means

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

that he's joking alayhi salatu wasallam this is

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

imam al-tirmidhi so it's not like some

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

new person who's trying to make a point

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

he alayhi salatu wasallam was someone who would

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

often draw smiles on people's faces in the

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

way that he spoke to them and how

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

he spoke to them alayhi salatu wasallam.

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

So I'll start insha'Allah with these two

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

hadith they're quite short so I'll narrate them

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

for you insha'Allah ta'ala.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

hadathana abbas ibn muhammad al-duri qala hadathana

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

aliyy ibn al-hasani ibn shaqiq qala anba

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

'ana abdullahi ibn al-mubaraki an usamah ibn

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

zaid an sa'id al-maqburi an abiy

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

hurairah radiallahu anhu qal qalu ya rasool allah

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

innaka tuda'ibuna this is oh prophet of

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

allah innaka tuda'ibuna you joke around with

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

us you mess around with us muda'aba

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

is when someone jokes with you or behaves

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

lightly around you as muda'aba so they

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

found it some of the sahaba found this

00:01:59 --> 00:02:04

a little bit new they had not he

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

is rasool allah alayhi salatu wasallam he is

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

the khairu khalqillah he is the best of

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

allah's creation he is the haamil al liwa

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

'i yawm al qiyamah huwa sajid taht al

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

arsh huwa sayyid waladi adam ya'ani alayhi

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16

salatu wasallam carries all these accolades and he

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

would sit down and he would mess around

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

with people and joke around with them and

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

make them laugh so they found it a

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

little bit fresh faqalu innaka tuda'ibuna as

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

if they are not objecting but asking about

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

it this is normal faqalu inni laa aqoolu

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

illa haqqa said yes but I only say

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

that which is truthful I never lie I

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

never gossip I never say anything that is

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

harmful to someone else which is basically the

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

conditions of joking so the second hadith which

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

is why I am reciting this and obviously

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

as we do this as we talk about

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

the prophet and he is our leader and

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

he is our teacher and we take from

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

him everything we learn from him everything alayhi

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

salatu wasallam whether it is the way he

00:03:00 --> 00:03:01

joked or the way he spoke or it

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

is the way he persevered and the way

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

he stood his ground and the way he

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

advocated for justice and he advocated for those

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

who are treated unfairly and those who are

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13

oppressed it goes without saying that subhanallah as

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

we come close to the full year anniversary

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

I don't even know if the word anniversary

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

is appropriate here but the full year memory

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

of what happened in October last year and

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

what followed in terms of the blood spill

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

and the blood shed that we witnessed over

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

this year instead of seeing this coming to

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

an end we are seeing it spread in

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

a different direction and now our brothers and

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

sisters in Lebanon are struggling and when they

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

struggle the Syrians do as well most of

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

my family is not displaced in Europe they

00:03:43 --> 00:03:48

are displaced somewhere around Beirut and who pays

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

for all of this aggression and all of

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

this world silence and world double standard that

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

we witnessed it is people it is people

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

who are like you and I who carry

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

our first names and many of them carry

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

our last names and they look very much

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

like us and they live and they have

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

the same hopes and dreams in life and

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

they are living hoping to do something with

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

them and then they die and then they

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

just lose everything or they wake up one

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

day and half their family is gone or

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

their house is gone or they can't live

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

anymore and this is not the first time

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

this has happened this has been happening for

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

a long time if you just go back

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

a couple of decades if you sit with

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

an elderly person in their 70s or 80s

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

they remember this happening in other parts of

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

the world they remember it happening in Egypt

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

and happening in Iraq and happening in Somalia

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

and happening in Syria and happening in Lebanon

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

back in one time before in Philistine for

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

75 years and they remember this is an

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

ongoing saga of Muslims being mistreated in Kashmir

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

and in Kosovo and the list goes on

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

and in Myanmar and in China there is

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

no end to this unfortunate list that we

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

have of people suffering so when we see

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

all of that the reason that this is

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

occurring is because these are supposed to serve

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

as wake up calls they are supposed to

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

serve as wake up calls for an ummah

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

that has lost its compass for an ummah

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

that has lost its way and it forgot

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

who it was and what it represents and

00:05:02 --> 00:05:03

the people who represent it don't know who

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

they are anymore don't understand their legacy don't

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

understand where they hail from where they come

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

from what the point of their lives are

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

supposed to be to begin with so these

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

ongoing tribulations that we see are there just

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

to try and smack some sense into all

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

of us regardless of our age group or

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

where we are living and if that is

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

not what they are doing then it is

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

lost on us honestly it becomes lost on

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

us as a community it becomes lost on

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

us as individuals if we see all this

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

then it doesn't change anything in you and

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

you just continue to live life as if

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

it didn't happen that is the biggest loss

00:05:33 --> 00:05:37

of all we can't control unfortunately how certain

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

politicians behave and how the powers of this

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

world behave and we can't you and I

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

are not accountable for 300 years of a

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

gap between certain nations and our nation we

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

can't we didn't I didn't contribute to 300

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

years of a technological scientific and organizational gap

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

that exists between them and us but we

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

do but I do contribute to the next

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

10-15 years for sure like I contribute

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

to that and so do you we all

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

contribute to the gap that is going to

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

exist in the next 30 or 40 years

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

so the question is whether what is happening

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

right now is motivating people to change their

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

ways and start closing that gap bridging it

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

by educating themselves and contributing to the education

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

of the Muslim Ummah and the unity of

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

the Muslim Ummah and the awareness of the

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

Muslim Ummah and that is what he would

00:06:20 --> 00:06:23

have wanted I read about him here but

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

that is what he would have wanted and

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

I talk about him not because I have

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

nothing else to do because I want you

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

to understand that he is the glue he

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

is the figure that we all come around

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

we don't agree on anyone else honestly like

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

as an Ummah I agree on a lot

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

of people but as an Ummah we agree

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

on him we all know that he is

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

the ultimate leader and he is the Qidwa

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

and he is the person he is our

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

idol he is our teacher and we learn

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

from him and if we can just start

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

being more like him similar to him caring

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

about what he did and what he taught

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

and what legacy he left then we can

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

turn things around and there will be a

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

better future for our children a better future

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

for the Muslim Ummah it is just a

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

matter of giving up our egos and giving

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

up maybe a little bit of the plans

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

of leisure that we had and focusing and

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

committing ourselves to something that is bigger than

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

ourselves so that Yawmul Qiyamah we have an

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

argument to make because all about that it

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

is all about just making the argument Yawmul

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

Qiyamah because I can sit down and read

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

about him and make you love him but

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

if you did not follow him and you

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

did not contribute to his Ummah then he

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

won't be too impressed he won't be too

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

impressed if we did not contribute to the

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

well being of his Ummah that is where

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

his heart is his heart is in his

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

Ummah and we read about him so we

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

can love him more so that we can

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

motivate ourselves to care about what he cared

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

about which is this nation for better or

00:07:36 --> 00:07:46

for worse so Anas

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

Ibn Malik tells us in this authentic hadith

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

that there was a man from Al-Badiya

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

a Bedouin man who had chickens and sheep

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

and cows and what not and he would

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

come to the city and sell some of

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

that stuff and he knew the Prophet we

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

would come from even before and he was

00:08:04 --> 00:08:12

a Muslim his name was Zahir he always

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

brought a gift to the Prophet aside from

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

what the Prophet would buy or other people

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

would he would always offer the Prophet a

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

gift and the Prophet you would never gift

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

him except he gifted you back like on

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

the spot and more you gave him one

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

he gave you five it is just how

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

he was he would refuse for you to

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

gift him so he would bring the Prophet

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

a small gift and the Prophet would prepare

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

him when he is going back to the

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

Badiya going back to the countryside he took

00:08:39 --> 00:08:40

with him clothing he took with him a

00:08:40 --> 00:08:50

camel the Prophet took care of him Zahir

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

is our countryside and I am his city

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

so when he comes to the city he

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

has me when I go to the countryside

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

I have him and it was a nice

00:08:57 --> 00:09:03

way to kind of make him the Prophet

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

loved him and he was an ugly man

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

and I am saying it because that is

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

the wording in the Shamaal al-Tirmidhi and

00:09:09 --> 00:09:13

I don't have to really sugar coat it

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

because the word is Damim and Damim means

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

ugly there is really no other meaning for

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

it in the Arabic language the guy was

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

ugly he wasn't a sight to look at

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

but the Prophet loved him and there was

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

a good relationship between him and between the

00:09:28 --> 00:09:29

two of them and Anas pointed this out

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

because there is a point of this story

00:09:30 --> 00:09:38

that he wants to make the Prophet came

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

to him one day as he is selling

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

his stuff like he gave the Prophet his

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

gift the Prophet gives it back and he

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

goes and stands in the market and he

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

starts to sell cheese and milk and whatever

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

else and eggs and whatever he has he

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

is selling and the Prophet comes to him

00:09:51 --> 00:09:58

as he is selling so the Prophet came

00:09:58 --> 00:10:02

and he hugged him from behind him and

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

he could not see him so Zahir is

00:10:04 --> 00:10:05

selling and then he finds someone who puts

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

his hands around his torso and he hugs

00:10:08 --> 00:10:14

him Middle Eastern middle aged men don't like

00:10:14 --> 00:10:20

that in case you didn't notice it's not

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

their thing hugging at least it wasn't at

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

that point so he said who is this?

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

let me go what are you doing?

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

what is this?

00:10:30 --> 00:10:34

so he turned around with his head he

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

knew it was the Prophet he didn't notice

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

at first who is this?

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

let me go he looks back it's the

00:10:39 --> 00:10:44

Prophet lucky him what can you say?

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

he recognized the Prophet he held his hands

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

and he pushed his back to the Prophet's

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

chest keeping himself in contact with the Prophet

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

once he noticed it was him the Prophet

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

said who will buy this slave from me?

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

if you try to sell me as a

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

slave you will find me worthless no one

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

will buy me look at me that's why

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

I said this who is going to buy

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

me?

00:11:27 --> 00:11:32

there is nothing attractive so the Prophet left

00:11:32 --> 00:11:40

him and he turned him around as for

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

Allah's opinion of you you are not worthless

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

you are very valuable in the eyes of

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

Allah he joked and joked but then when

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

he felt okay there's something here that's not

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

there's not a joke anymore no you're not

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

worthless and no you never say that about

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

yourself and never feel that about yourself no

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

you are valuable and you are loved by

00:11:58 --> 00:11:59

Allah and I didn't mean it that way

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

as if the Prophet when he was joking

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

this went in a direction he was not

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

happy with anymore the direction was no longer

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

what he wanted and went in a direction

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

where this man felt for a moment maybe

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

less about himself than he should have when

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

he had that interaction with the Prophet so

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

he walks away from this interaction with the

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

best testimony a human being could walk away

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

from any interaction for the rest of his

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

life imagine this man living his life saying

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam hugged me and

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

told me you are valuable in the eyes

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

of Allah it's a beautiful story and it

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

tells you a lot about his character and

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

how he saw people and how he took

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

life lightly and he liked to joke but

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

he always was sensitive to people's feelings and

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

sensitive to people's perspectives he felt that maybe

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

there was a perspective in this that wasn't

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

healthy or something that he did not want

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

someone to feel he would correct it immediately

00:12:50 --> 00:12:53

because the point of a joke was never

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

to harm and I just find that to

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

be the act of someone of a very

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

high level of compassion I hope that was

00:13:01 --> 00:13:27

a benefit ...
