Adnan Rajeh – Recitations from the book of Prophetic Descriptions -5

At Tirmidi, Rahimahullah.

And tonight,

we're going to read insha'Allah,

Hadith,

number 10.

Alhamdulillahuddinu

Hadithana,

Anadub Nussarii,

Haditharub

Nul Qasimi and Asha'ata,

Yaani ibn Asawarin and Abi Ishaqa

and Jabir ibn Samurata radiAllahu Anhuqal.

So, the hadith tonight is in the collection

of Imam al Tirmidi, obviously. And it's,

it's a fully authentic hadith in his collection.

It exists in other collections as well, like

Taqfatlahuwadi, you can find it there as well.

And it's narrated to us by Jabir ibn

Samura. And it's one of the shortest a

hadith

in terms of describing him

And,

despite the fact that it's very short, I

find it to be extremely beautiful. This is

one of my go to ahadith whenever I

want

to describe him, alayhis salatu. When I go

to this one, it's an extremely beautiful description

of him, Ali, if I'm going to make

this more,

and interactive InshaAllah Ta'ala or for it to

be connected, our brother you're here. Brother Mohammed

Mubin, InshaAllah has his you have a telescope

outside.

So those of you who would like to

take a look at the moon on their

way out, they can do that. And it's,

it's not a full moon tonight, but we're

getting close. So it's almost, I think, what

is 60% or 70? Yeah. Something like that.

Yeah. So and this will be, something in

keeping with the hadith that we're going to

be reading.

I saw the Prophet

on a night where the moon was visible.

That's what Abhayyan means. That's a night where

the moon is visible. Doesn't necessarily mean it's

a full moon, it's just a very visible

it's a night work. So, it could be

similar to this night, just to be clear.

Like Abhayyan does not mean

does. So, you say

that means it's a full moon.

Means a night where the moon is visible.

So, it's big enough to be visible and

it's also visible in terms of there's no

clouds and you can actually see it properly.

That's what means. Right?

The Prophet alaihi wasalam was wearing something that

had red within with stripes or red within

it.

So I I I stood there and I

saw the prophet, alayhis salatu wasram, and the

late late at Ibuhiyan, and I and I

looked at the the moon,

So I I started to look at him,

alayhis salatu wasram, and then look at the

moon. And look at him and look at

the moon.

He swears that the Prophet alayhi salatu wa

salam is, I was more beautiful to him

than the moon itself in the sky. Sallallahu

alaihi wa sallam.

And the Alim.

And Baba ibn Aasib was asked once in

this hadith is in Bukhari,

How

was his face?

He's asking him, Was it

like a sword in terms of being bright?

No. It was like the moon not like

the sword. And I think that kind of

sums up there are more hadith obviously we're

going to be reading, but to me, this

summarizes really what you what you would have

seen had you had you had the honor

of seeing his face

and spending any time with him. They

Look, beauty is subjective, right?

There's a proverb for this in every culture

and every language.

Beauty is subjective. It's in the eye of

the beholder.

And they loved

him Absolutely

adored him. And because of that, everything about

him was beautiful

to them

And it should be as it should be

to you and to us.

Everything about the Prophet

was beautiful because the amount of love they

had in their hearts for this person, for

the sacrifice and the time and the effort

and the ongoing compassion, the consistent

and love that he showed

in his life

Very little like the amount the places in

the Arabic desert that has Arabian desert that

has any form of green.

It's far apart.

You don't find it.

Where are you gonna look? There's nothing to

look on the ground. It's all just sand.

You know, it's hard to find something worth

looking at. So the Arab took their eyes

in in to the sky. That's why most

of the the stars in the sky are

named

by by the Arab. And they have Arabic

names and this is well known by astronomers.

So they focused on the sky. So everything

that they had that was beautiful to them

was either in the sky or a camel,

right? Or a camel. They love the

The camel keeps you alive in the desert.

It takes you from one place to the

other. You eat it, you drink its milk,

you wear

its skin and you build homes

from its bones. It did literally everything.

The camel is a full service animal for

the Arabs. So they loved their camels. And

it was but outside of that and the

camel was a creature when they wanted to,

you know, to describe them and they took

their descriptions to the sky because that's what

they knew well and that's where they saw

true beauty of Allah's creation. And what's more

beautiful in an Arabian night sky than the

moon when it's full?

There's absolutely nothing

that comes even remotely close to the beauty

of a full moon in an Arabian night.

If you haven't seen it yet, when you

do Amrara, have them take you to the

bar.

Have them take you out to where, you

know, there's no

there's no lights anymore. Like there's nothing left.

To to to ruin the vid and look

and you'll see something and you'll understand.

And when they when they thought of that,

that's the most beautiful thing that they saw.

They would say the prophet

He was he was more beautiful to us

than that. It was an issue of love

that existed inside their hearts. May Allah grant

us the the honor of seeing him

and feeling towards him as as they did.
