Adnan Rajeh – Recitations from the book of Prophetic Descriptions 25

I'm continuing tonight, inshallah, a citation of a

hadith from the collection of Imam al-Tirmidhi

and I'm still in the chapter of Bab

ma ja'a fi khuluqi rasool Allah in

the chapter that talks about his ethics, alayhi

salatu wassalam and I'm going to narrate to

you too a hadith that I love very

much and you'll hopefully find beautiful and you'll

benefit from them qala hadathana muhammad ibn basharin

qala hadathana abdul rahman ibn mahdi qala hadathana

sufyanu an muhammad ibn al-munkadiri qala sami

'tu jabir ibn abdullahi radiyallahu anhu yaqool and

this hadith is a very short description from

Jabir, this is what he said qala ma

su'ila rasool Allah salallahu alayhi wa alihi

wasallama shay'an qattu fa qala la Jabir

says, this hadith is a very famous one

where Jabir says the following never ever was

the Prophet alayhi salatu wassalam ever asked for

anything in his life at any point and

he said no salallahu alayhi wasallam qala alfarazzaq

laula tashahudu kaanat laahu na'amu laula tashahudu

kaanat laahu na'amu laula annu yatashahad, if

it wasn't for the fact that he said

in the shahad ashhadu an laa ilaha every

laa would be na'am for the Prophet

alayhi salatu wassalam it's a known phrase of

poetry and this talks about just his openness,

his open heartedness alayhi salatu wassalam this is

something specifically that I know is hard, like

I know very well that it's hard because

if you've been, it's been a long day

for you and you are absolutely drained and

you've been used all day long it's going

on for hours and hours and hours and

at the end of the day someone comes

and asks you for one extra favor that

it's not the time for nor the place,

every aspect of your existence just wants to

say no and it happens a lot and

we all go through those moments and how

he managed every time alayhi salatu wassalam to

continue to say yes and to find space

in his heart and in his time and

in his life to offer people that which

they are asking even though they are very

much inconsiderate sometimes and they lack basic etiquette

and they lack sometimes the basics of good

character but he alayhi salatu wassalam always behaved

in a way that reflected his own values

salallahu alayhi wa sallam and I just love

this simple description of Sayyidina Jabir ibn Abdullah

the second hadith, this hadith has a reasonable

chain of narration some scholars call it dhaif

but I actually did a study on this

one specifically so I'm very comfortable telling you

it's Hassan Lighayri فقال

النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ما عندي شيء

ولكن ابتع عليه عود الله ينطع عليك عود

دعوة كافية دعوة كافية يا عيني عليك ولكن

ابتع عليه فإذا جاءني شيء قضيته that a

man came to the Prophet alayhi salatu wassalam

and said give me something give me something

so the Prophet alayhi salatu wassalam said I

don't have anything but go buy something على

حسابي go buy something and tell them that

I will pay them and once I have

money I'll pay him for it so go

buy whatever you want just buy and say

that the Rasool Allah will pay you for

this and I'll pay him when I say

I have money now who's standing there who's

telling his hadith Umar so Umar is standing

there and he doesn't like it he doesn't

like it he doesn't know فقال عمر يا

رسول الله قد أعطيته فما كلفك الله ما

لا تقدر عليه said ya Rasool Allah you

gave him already this was apparently the second

time this guy asked in the same day

like he already asked for something but he

already gave him now he had nothing left

so he asked him again the Prophet said

fine whatever you need go buy and I'll

pay for it so Umar said ya Rasool

Allah why you gave him once Allah did

not ask you ما كلفك الله أكثر من

وسعك you're not being asked to do more

you're not being burdened with more than you

can so why are you doing this فكرها

النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قوله عمر the

Prophet alayhi salatu wassalam's face didn't like what

Umar said because Umar is saying ya Rasool

Allah don't خلاص you gave him why do

this to yourself Umar is like this guy

has no adab he asked he was given

why asking again so he said this to

the Prophet the Prophet alayhi salatu wassalam didn't

like what Umar said فقال رجل من الأنصار

ya Rasool Allah أنفق ولا تخف من ذي

العرش إقلالا he said ya Rasool Allah give

and don't be afraid from the one who

owns the عرش صاحب العرش الله سبحانه وتعالى

don't be afraid from the lord of the

عرش إقلالا that he won't give you he

won't give you something in return لا تخف

don't be afraid of this قال فتمسم رسول

الله صلى الله عليه وسلم he smiled when

he heard that وعرف في وجهه البشر you

can see in his face that he was

very happy with what he heard لقول الأنصاري

from what the man from the Ansar said

ثم قال and the Prophet alayhi salatu wassalam

pointed at him وقال بهذا أمرت this is

what I was told to do صلى الله

عليه وسلم he's right he wants to give

he doesn't have anything to give it's very

easy for the nafs to be discouraged from

giving because he doesn't have anything to give

it's not that he had it and didn't

want to give it he didn't have so

he told him go I'll pay for it

later Omar is like no يا رسول الله

يا رسول الله حبيبي يا رسول الله no

you don't need to do this we already

gave the man he can go he'll come

another day he doesn't have to do this

now but he wants to give عليه الصلاة

والسلام and he doesn't want to be discouraged

he doesn't want to be discouraged so the

man from the Ansar said يا رسول الله

انفق give و لا تخف من ذي العرش

إقلالا he started to use this عليه الصلاة

والسلام in other hadith there's other hadith where

he would say و لا تخف من ذي

العرش إقلالا like the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام

took this and he started to use it

in other hadith where he would speak to

other people to do it because he loved

it he loved the way it was it's

catchy it had a little bit of a

rhythm to it don't be afraid from the

from the owner of the throne that he

will not give you more when you give

from what you have and when he said

that the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام was happy

he said you encouraged بهذا عمر this is

what I was told to do encourage people

to do to do good never discourage them

from doing good in your life and even

though it's impossible it's absolutely impossible for us

to hold ourselves to his standard عليه الصلاة

والسلام there is a lot there is much

benefit in learning what that standard that he

held himself was عليه الصلاة والسلام so you

appreciate so you appreciate the genius and the

beauty of what Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

was because this this is someone that we

hold ourselves to learn about him عليه الصلاة

والسلام this is who he was he had

nothing you understand what that means there's nothing

left to give he has emptied his home

and emptied his he has nothing to give

and then he says صلى الله عليه الصلاة

والسلام yeah that's صلوا على النبي عليه الصلاة

والسلام هذا حبيبكم this is whom we follow

عليه الصلاة والسلام and we are not like

him عليه الصلاة والسلام in any form or

manner but hopefully inshallah the love we have

for him will get us across the finishing

line one day because I know that we

can't do this this is too hard for

most of us hopefully but you can at

least learn something from it and you can

you can learn that generosity and practice it

when you can and just hopefully love him

for the generosity that he showed in his

life عليه الصلاة والسلام يروي الامام التلمذي في

جامعه بسند الحسن عن عمر ابن الخطاب رضي

الله عنه أن رجلا جاء إلى النبي صلى

الله عليه وسلم فسأله أن يعطيه فقال رسول

الله صلى الله وسلم ما عندي شيء ولكن

ابتع علي فإذا جاءني شيء قضيته فقال عمر

يا رسول الله قد أعطيته فما كلفك الله

ما لا تقدر عليه فكره النبي قول عمر

فقال رجل من أنصاري يا رسول الله أنفق

ولا تخف من ذي العرش إقلالا فتبسم رسول

الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وعرف في وجهه

البشر لقول الأنصاري ثم قال بهذا
