Adnan Rajeh – The Unlawfulness of Harm #06

I'm in a, collection called Al Hillia, and

it has a reasonable chain of narration rate

to us by Abu Dar al Ligefari. And

this is a is is a heavy hadith,

so embrace yourself a little bit. This is

the, the theme is the unlawfulness of Harm.

And as I I've explained a number of

times over the last maybe

600

over the last 3 years that the prophet,

alayhis salatu wa sallam's words are always very

well well chosen. They're very precise, articulate. They're

very kind and tender. They're very tender. They're

not heavy. Very rarely does he use heavy

words. But when he does, he does it

to, you know,

to spark a little bit of interest in

you and maybe some some extra attention to

what he's talking about

because he it's like someone who's always speaking

in a certain tone and then they change

it for a moment. It's just so that

you, you know, they grasp your attention for

a second. So he's always very tender in

his words, alayhis salatu wa saba. Sometimes he'll

use a very heavy word just to get

you to pay attention. And in this hadith,

it's 1 of those heavy ones. At least

I think it is. Maybe you don't feel,

but I I think it's 1 of them.

And the Allah and I think he he

he uses this you know, the way the

the words he uses because of the fact

that harm is just such a big problem.

And this is what he said

The person who harms Muslims in their in

their roads.

Meaning as they go in back and forth

to their to to their, to to their

jobs or to buy and sell it.

Meaning, the road is seen as a place

where you are out of your element. You're

not in your house. You're not protected.

You're you're in on route and you're basically

in limbo for a for a little bit.

And you need the road to be safe.

You need it to be clean so that

you can get there safely. You can't have

people sitting around there watching you leave and

watching your wife and watching your children and

watching

it's it's very it's very unsettling when people

are harming you on on the roads. We

don't have that problem as much here in

in this country, but if you live back

in the middle you know this is a

so the prophet, alayhi, was saying, the person

who harms Muslims on their on their ways

to places or they put they put garbage

on the road. So the road is is

smells like

like a like a laboratory

or it looks like a yeah. You're walking

into a a mizballah. It's it's so dirty.

Or people who actually harm people on the

way. A lady is going somewhere and she

has to hear comments or someone's going somewhere

has hear comments or someone has to, yeah,

has to be

looking in a way that is not appropriate

or or watching what they bought or making

them feel uncomfortable about themselves.

Meaning they this person is is deserving of

the damnation of the Muslims upon them. Meaning

they this person is is deserving if the

Muslim

deserving

of it.

And they and they wouldn't. But if they

were to do it, this person deserves it.

Deserves for Muslims to say

may Allah damn them. May Allah curse them.

Because it's it's it's but what's the harm?

Again, every example I've given you so far

aside from the hadith of yesterday that's a

monumental hadith. All the types of harm the

prophet, alayhis salaam, has pointed out are

Right? Don't 2 people whisper and the 3rd

person listen.

Someone who's walking up going through groups of

people who are praying, putting putting his trying

to get upfront.

What's the harm in all this stuff?

What's the real harm? It's basically

it's it's really nothing. Right? It's not yeah.

It is. It is. That's the whole point.

The whole point is you're saying, I saw

him, I saw him, I saw him saying

it. It surely is. This is real harm.

It's it's it means a lot. Do not

do it. It's a big deal. It's it's

not something simple. No. Who told you it's

simple? Who told you that doing hurting people's

feelings and hurting their integrity and disrespecting disrespecting

them is something simple. It's not something simple.

It's a big deal and you'll be held

accountable for it. So if you even if

you throw garbage on the road that Muslims

walk on or you sit there and you

stare at people

prying into their par private lives. Not this

this is harm and this is something worthy

of their damnation upon you.

May Allah protect us all. This is how

he valued

this is how he valued the sanctity of

human life, of human integrity, and of human

well-being. This is how he valued it

If we truly believe in him, we have

to value it the same way.

And, you know, there's no other way to

understand what he's explaining here

aside from that.
