So we're still in the, in the series
of collection about,
that Imam Shah Waliullah Di Hilawi has collected,
in famous Indian scholar who lived around 300
years ago. And every single hadith is very
short
and what but,
he collected it in his collections but he
doesn't actually mention from where is his source,
from a Muslim or Bukhari or ibn Majd
so I tried to find any from which
of the 6 or 9 collections of a
hadith
and so in this hadith,
Ibn Nasr narrated the Prophet SAW Allahu Alaihi
Wasallam said, Al Mustashar al Mu'taman, the one
who is consulted or
is being asked for advice
is Mu'taman, is entrusted.
Like this is a trust and a responsibility
that when someone comes to you and asks
you for advice or ask you for consultation
this is a responsibility how
you're gonna reply and how you're gonna react
to that
person asking for advice Because
the person asking for advice may put themselves
in a vulnerable position because they're asking they
they think that you are, you know, more
knowledgeable, have, you know, know, more experience and
expertise. And so they're asking you for advice.
And now you are interested. How are you
how will you respond?
So if you have the proper knowledge, you
have the proper experience and the proper expertise
where and you're able to serve that person,
and understand their situation and help them,
to to to what will be in their
best interest, then, you should do so and
it's part of, you know, fulfilling that amena.
But if you don't have the knowledge or
expertise or, you know, skills that, to to
help that person then you should just say
I don't know or direct them to someone
or send them to someone who does who
is who will be able to help them.
So that's where you are interested because you
have a few options. And the dangerous, you
know,
the dangerous
path is when someone
answers or gives an answer
based on ignorance, like their answer or their
advice is based on ignorance and it's not,
it actually will harm the person seeking advice
And that's where it's really dangerous. And here
this is where Shaytan and the nafs and
the ego comes in and, you know, because
no one wants to seem ignorant or that
they're not knowledgeable
so they want to answer you know and
give a quick answer but but Allah in
this hadith
the Prophet
makes it very clear that you are accountable
for giving advice. When you give someone advice,
you are accountable. It's not like, oh, I'll
give this guy advice and that's it. I'll
pass a mawtiani. No. You are accountable for,
you know, the the quality and and and
and your how you how you delivered it
and the and the and the attitude and
the tone, like, everything the entire package.
And then one more thing is that the
person seeking advice should also seek advice from,
like, the person who is, you know, trustworthy,
who's knowledgeable,
who,
is Yani,
who who who wants Yani, show envy or
or hatred
towards that person. So, also, there's so there's
responsibility from both sides, but the the big
responsibility is on the person being asked because,
Yani, they they they could either harm or
benefit that, the the seeker of that consultation.
And then and so based on that trust,
they should, Yani, take the right the correct
approach and and and and do what is
in the best interest of the person seeking
advice for Allahu'Anam.
