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.
