Welcome back to our reading in the book
Al-Khulasa by Abdulhayat Al-Qahtani.
Inshallah, we were in hadith number 13 on
page number 22.
Are you going to put the page up
for the people?
Okay, we're going to, for those of you
that are online, we're on hadith number 13
on page number 22 of this book, which
is printed and published by Al-Turas Publications
from UK.
You can grab a copy of that on
Amazon.
Does everybody have their copy with them today?
Everybody got their copy?
Excellent.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Go ahead.
Okay, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
What page are you on there in the
Arabic?
59, like the end.
And last paragraph.
59?
Okay, Bismillah.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Okay.
Whoever saw him suddenly trembled due to his
awe, whoever mingled with him loved him above
everything.
Beautiful.
So, this is something, a really interesting trait
of Prophet ﷺ.
There was a woman that once came to
Prophet ﷺ and she got too close to
Prophet ﷺ so she started trembling out of
just the awe of being in such a
close proximity to Prophet ﷺ.
And what happened was, at that point Rasul
ﷺ just told her, like, relax, I'm just
a son of another woman.
I eat food just like you, just like
don't.
So this was a very prominent thing about
Prophet ﷺ that if we, if somebody was
to have like a, not a very close
interaction with him but if they were to
like, you know, stumble upon him or if
they were to look at him, they would
be filled with awe and ru'ab.
But when you got to know him, right,
when somebody got to personally interact with him,
right, it was like a completely different experience.
Like nobody could get their eyes off him.
People would love him so much.
He was just so gentle.
He would take so much care about you.
Like little, little things that he would take
care of, like he found this small boy
by the name of Aba Umair.
He used to have what, he used to
have a small bird, right, a pet bird.
It died.
So Rasul ﷺ, you know, he was so
well aware and acutely aware of even children
and their pets and he knew the names
of the pets too, of the children around.
So he went to Aba Umair and he
said, Ya Aba Umair, O Umair, what happened
to you?
Ma fa'alanu ghair?
What happened to your bird, Nughair?
Where did it go?
So he would say, Ma ta'a ya
Rasulullah.
The bird died, O Prophet of Allah.
Right?
And then he was, he recognized the pain
that the child was going through.
So this was the beauty of Prophet ﷺ
that, you know, when somebody would see him
from far, you would be filled with this
awe and you would feel that you're in
the presence of somebody great.
But once you really got to know him,
you were like, man, this is one of
the best human beings in the world to
be around.
Okay?
Yalla bismillah.
Next part.
Okay.
So he was great in himself and esteemed
in the eyes of the people.
His noble face shone like the full moon,
what was above his temples was wide, his
eyebrows were arched and complete but not joined
together.
Okay.
So the first part, he was great in
himself, right?
The author, he says over here that he
was great in himself, i.e. if you,
you didn't need to add anything else to
Prophet ﷺ.
In terms of the beauty, he carried himself
with, you know, with honor and with greatness.
And it says, he was esteemed in the
eyes of people.
Now, just because he, you know, if somebody's
got, what happens if somebody's got like a
really good body and they're taken care of,
like, they become arrogant and they start showing
it off.
They're like, oh, look at this, they start,
you know, flexing their pecs, their biceps for
the guys.
You know, if Allah ﷻ has given like
a really clean skin to any of the
sisters, they're like, oh, look at my glow,
it's like so nice.
You know, don't even ask me about my
routine, right?
All the stuff that goes on stupid TikTok,
right?
And then, and occasionally when my, when I
have to post some stuff, usually my team
posts, but if I have to post something,
I go on TikTok and it's just all
about this stuff.
It's like, today I'm going to sit down
with you and I'll show you a live
stream of my makeup routine.
I'm like, why would I want to know
that?
Then I found out later why, but anyhow,
that's the other story.
So, but Rasulullah ﷺ, despite he had all
the reasons to be, like he was the
most beautiful that existed, right?
But then when somebody else would look at
him, what's the word he uses over there?
He himself was great, but when somebody else
would look at him, he didn't need to
express his greatness.
Allah had instilled the greatness of him in
the eyes of others.
When somebody would look at him, he would
feel like, wow, this is just such an
amazing, amazing personality, amazing existence of a person.
Then he says, يَتَلَأْ لَأَ وَجْهُهُ الْكَرِيمِ كَالْقَمَرِ
فِي لَيْلَةِ الْرَادِعَشَةِ His face was nurani, it
was, it had divine light.
And it was so obvious that once a
Sahabi, it says his face would shine like
the fourteenth moon, a full moon on the
fourteenth night.
There are two hadiths that talk about this.
One of them is a Sahabi that was
sitting, he looked at the face of Prophet
ﷺ, then he looked at the moon, and
then he looked at the face of Rasulullah
ﷺ, then he looked at the moon, then
he looked at the face of Rasulullah ﷺ,
and he said, I really don't know which
one of the two is more luminous, i
.e. which one has more luminance in the
face.
Is it the moon or is it the
face of Prophet ﷺ?
Now this radiance that was coming out of
Prophet ﷺ was not metaphoric.
It was so much radiance that at the
night time, we have authentic narrations that say
that when, you know, in his household, if
a woman would drop like a needle or
something very, very small would fall on the
ground, they would ask Rasulullah, Ya Rasulullah, so
he would look at them, and the light
emanating from his face was enough to radiate
the ground and they were able to pick
up, they were able to see things.
Okay?
Now we find this very odd.
But it was also not like, you know,
what's that TV show, Space something?
Lost in Space.
Remember that?
The guy who had like a glowing face,
the robot, Mr. Wilson, is it Mr. Wilson?
Will?
Robinson.
Robinson, Mr. Robinson, right?
The robot that, you know, so that face,
it's not the glow that he had, like
oh it's like so, it was such a
radiant, natural glow that he had, and it
was physical in its nature.
Okay?
Then it says, when, what was above his
temples, i.e. foreheads, was wide, above his
temple, he had a very wide, very, very
wide forehead, okay?
And his eyebrows were arched and complete, so
eyebrows were not like lines, they were not
like angles, they were like arch.
Maqawqas, is that the word they use?
Maqawwis.
Maqawwis, right?
Qaws is what?
Arch.
No, it's the bow.
Qaws, qazah, the rainbow.
Right?
It's called qaws, it's like I said, it's
in that arch.
So they were, i.e. they covered and
they had this circular nature, and they were
complete, they were not half, they were complete
from end to end.
And the other thing was, between his eyebrows
was a vein which appeared red when he
was angry.
Right?
So they had, he had a vein, and
whenever Rasulullah ﷺ was extremely angry, you could
actually see this vein, it would pop, it
would become very visible, and that's how Sahabahs
would know that he's not, Prophet ﷺ is
not happy right now.
Okay?
Go ahead, next part.
So you can, whenever he says Qulth, that's
like he is explaining in the Arabic, just
go straight to the, skip the next Qulth,
which says, taweela al-asabi, toolan mu'tadilan, no
before that.
In English it says over here though, between
his eyebrows was a vein that appeared red
when he was angry.
So that's part of it.
Okay.
Okay.
Read next one.
Okay.
Taweela al-anth, wa diqqatu arnabatih, wa hadabun
fee wasatih, he had a moderately long nose
with a fine tip.
Okay.
So basically, there are flat nose, there are
people that have a long nose, and apparently
in English language there are like 30 words
that describe a nose.
Okay?
Like different types of nose, right?
This is more of like an eagle tip
nose, right?
So it had a flat end over here
and it would come out and then the
nose would not point upwards but rather point
downwards, right?
Sort of like an eagle's beak, but not
obviously going like this, like an eagle's beak.
The angle of the nose was towards down,
the tip of that, right?
He had a fine tip, and there was
a light, read.
Lahu noorun ya'aluhu hatta yadunuhu man lam
yata'ammaluhu.
There was a light that covered it.
So that someone who did not look carefully
would think.
So that someone who did not look carefully
would think he had a high bridge with
a raised top.
Beautiful.
So there used to be, there used to
be an eye, there used to be a
light right above his nose, it was a
visible noor, noorun ya'aluhu.
Above his, this area of the nose, right
where the bone is and then it meets
that, you know, the cartilage type of structure,
right above that was light that was visible.
And if somebody didn't pay attention, if somebody
was not paying attention, then it would feel
to that person that his nose is raised
because of the light.
The light would cause some refraction.
But the key is this physical light is
something that, you know, has been described multiple
times.
Now, why so much detail?
Like why talk about this light, why talk
about his radiant face?
Because these were things that were abnormal, like
they were not abnormal, right?
They would see these things as like, this
is not a normal thing, somebody has, yes?
Just below the red vein, right?
And that red vein was when it would
come up when he was angry.
Other than that, the light was always there.
So you will see multiple descriptions about his
light, noor, physical light that they talk about,
okay?
Now, you may ask, oh, but how is
that possible physically?
Is that even possible according to science?
And the answer to simply all of that
is science only knows what it knows, right?
There are metaphysical realities.
When I say the word metaphysical, it means
there's something physical, physical, right?
What's metaphysical?
Give me an example of metaphysical that we
all believe in exists, but we don't know
where it is.
Something that exists, but it's not physical.
Pain.
Pain.
Love.
Hate.
Right?
Hate.
When you hate someone, it's metaphysical, right?
Where is hate?
And you cut open your chest and they'll
show me, oh, look, look, right there, there's
hate.
There's hate for Abdullah and hate for Hashir
is right there.
You can't find that, right?
Or for example, the love that Hashir has
for his sisters, it's there somewhere, right Hashir?
It's not there?
It's there, right?
How much is it?
Lots or just little?
It's a lot.
MashaAllah.
He loves you a lot.
A lot.
Allahu Akbar.
Right?
But that's metaphysical.
Similarly, this light sometimes, in Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam's light, there were these realities that were
metaphysical.
But for Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, those realities
would become sometimes physical because he was divine,
i.e. he was sent by Allah Subh
'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
He was not just not like, he was
not like any one of us, right?
Yes, he was an insan, but he had
higher values.
Okay?
Go ahead.
Next part.
He had a lot of hair in his
noble beard without it rising up onto his
face and cheeks.
His cheeks were not protruding, he had a
wide mouth and there was a gap between
his teeth and incisors.
Yes.
Beautiful.
So, first part, we know that his beard
was kathif, it was a really thick beard.
When he would make wudu, he had to
run fingers to make sure that the water
gets all the way down.
Because if you would just take wudu like
that, it was a very thick beard.
The second thing is that it was a,
like you know, his line, the beard line
was very pronounced.
It was not going all the way up
to the cheeks.
It was not covering everything on his face.
His cheeks were pronounced and he had a
natural line that was there for the beard.
The last part is he had a very
wide mouth.
Which Arabs in general, whenever somebody has a
wide mouth, the Arabs in general consider somebody
with a wide mouth as somebody baligh, somebody
very eloquent.
Somebody was born with a wider mouth, they
would say, oh wow, subhanAllah, this person is
going to be very eloquent in their speech.
Okay?
And that was just indications they had.
And it talks about the gaps between his
teeth and incisors, i.e. these incisors and
teeth.
There used to be, what?
Wasn't there like a light that used to
pop out?
Pop out?
Whatever it was.
What was it, like Dragon Ball Z?
No, it wasn't like that.
Well, we'll talk about it.
We'll talk about it.
Right?
And there's these incisors and there used to
be gap, i.e. his teeth were not
super connected.
There were enough spaces that you would be
able to see the light coming out of
his mouth through the gaps that were there.
Okay?
Yes?
He
had
fine hair between the chest and navel, his
noble neck was like ivory and pure like
silver.
SubhanAllah.
So, his neck was pure like silver and
ivory.
What is it referring to?
Obviously, it was not physically ivory.
Yes?
It was like shiny.
It's beautiful.
Shiny and white.
It was like if somebody looked at his
neck, it was like if you were, as
if you were looking at ivory.
So, there was a skin, there was a
slight skin color there but it was referring
more about silver i.e. the shine in
the neck of Prophet ﷺ was so visible.
Okay?
It was really shiny.
Okay?
And he has, and then the other part
he says that he had fine hair between
the chest and the navel.
We talked about that, that Rasulullah ﷺ on
his entire body did not have many hair.
Actually, not no hair except part of his
forearms and from the navel all the way
to the chest there was a fine line
that was going there all the way to
the belly button.
Go ahead.
A'da'uhu mutanasiba saminun illa anahu laysa bimurtakhil
a'da' His limbs were proportionate.
He was stalwart without being loose-limbed.
Okay.
So, Rasulullah ﷺ, okay, it talks about him,
where is it, a'da'uhu mutanasiba.
First thing, he was a very balanced person.
Not one-legged.
You know sometimes you have people that have
longer arms and then some people they have
like, you know, their waist is higher.
It's not balanced.
Right?
So, again, they're functional but they don't look
very proportionate.
They're not.
Rasulullah ﷺ, he was very proportionate when it
came to all of that.
And the second thing it says about him,
wa kaana a'da'uhu mutanasiba saminun illa anahu
laysa bimurtakhil a'da' It was also not that
he had limbs that were just like, you
know, like completely, you know, they're like completely,
they have no control over their, that, yeah,
maybe.
Right?
They can't control.
They're just like, they're just sitting like that.
They, they, no half, like, when they sit,
they're like, okay, I'm sitting properly with a
purpose.
Okay?
So, he was not like that.
Okay?
Go ahead.
Okay.
And his abdomen and chest were?
Wa kaana batnuhu wa sabruhu sawaa' Kullu a'duwwin
tujjuradhuu anil thawbi awanil shaari huwa fee ghayaatil
inaarati wal ishraaq wa laysa ala batnihi al
kareem wa thadeehihi shaar So, his abdomen and
chest were level.
Each limb which was bare or hairless was
very luminous and shining.
There was no hair on his noble abdomen
or breast.
Okay.
Beautiful.
That's clear.
That's clear.
Move on.
Tawilu al-asabi tuulan mu'tadilan akhmasal qadami wa
huwa al-mawdi'u alladhi la yamusul al
-adu'u a'inda wat'iha min wasat
al-qadmi Okay.
He had wide palms.
He had moderately long fingers.
He had a high sole, i.e. the
middle part of the foot, which does not
touch the earth when one walks.
The arch.
Do you get it?
The arch that doesn't, when you stand, there's
this arch.
So, he had a very high arch.
It was not flat-footed.
Right?
And he had moderately long fingers.
It was not like, you know.
And speaking about his fingers, there's lots and
lots of mu'jizat, lots of karamat, lots
of miracles that Prophet ﷺ had performed.
One of them was that they had very
little water in a barrel.
So, they brought for Prophet ﷺ the bowl
of water.
He ﷺ drank from it and then what
did he do?
He placed four of his fingers in the
water bowl and every Sahabi in the entire
battlefield, they saw that water was gushing out
of Rasulullah's fingers and everybody drank to their
satiation.
And that is why the ulema, they say
that the best water that the earth has
seen is the water that came out from
the blessed fingers of the Prophet ﷺ.
Okay?
Go ahead.
Because of the softness of them.
it flowed off quickly because they were smooth.
Beautiful.
So, his skin was very smooth.
You know how sometimes, you know, the back
of the heel becomes cracked when you're making
wudu, the water doesn't get onto them, right?
I've seen that and sometimes we go to
the masjid, some people have like really cracked
heels.
Rasulullah had really fine skin, i.e. if
you were to pour water, it would just
go over.
It was very smooth skin.
Okay?
Go ahead.
When he walked.
When he walked, he lifted his feet with
a vigor and he did not walk like
the proud.
Beautiful.
So, there's a difference between purposeful walk, i
.e. you had vigor, he was not like,
you know, walking while dragging his feet onto
the ground, he was not doing that.
He had a very important, like if he
walked, he walked with power, with, you know,
muscle and he had vigor in there.
And it felt like he's got a purpose,
yet at the same time, he didn't feel
like he was being arrogant in his walk.
Okay?
Go ahead.
He walked towards a direction he was heading
in with tranquility and dignity.
He did not strike his sandals on the
ground or drag his feet.
He had a wide gait.
He looked at the earth more than he
looked at the sky.
When Rasulullah ﷺ used to walk, the Sahabahs
could not catch up to him.
They would feel tired.
Rasulullah would be walking completely normal and the
Sahabahs would be trying to like catch up
to him.
They would be like, slow down, slow down,
it's too fast.
But that was his normal gait.
And some of the reasons that scholars have
mentioned is because Allah ﷻ had given him
that mu'ajizah that the earth would shrink
in its distance for him, okay?
And these are mu'ajizat, these are miracles
that you see in other stories when we
study the seerah of Prophet ﷺ, you're going
to see many, many stories of that.
Being able to cover many of the Sahabahs
when they were being sent by Prophet ﷺ,
Rasulullah made dua for Jareer ibn Abdillah al
-Bajali, right, that O Prophet of Allah, I
cannot ride a horse.
Inni rajulun la'aswatul khayl.
I'm a person who cannot ride a horse.
I don't have the expertise of riding the
horse because of the extreme length he has.
He was really tall.
So the center of gravity was really off
for him.
So he was not able to balance.
So Prophet ﷺ took his fist and hit
his chest gently and he said, Allahumma thbutu
alal khayl.
O Allah, make him established on the horse,
i.e. firm him.
So what happened?
Rasulullah ﷺ, when that happened, he was able
to travel a distance all the way to
Iraq in a time that nobody had ever
imagined.
When he came back, Jareer ibn Abdillah, the
first thing Prophet ﷺ asked him, Ya Jareer,
kaifa wa anta alkhayl?
How was your relationship with your horse?
And he responded, he said, O Prophet of
Allah, it was as if myself, the horse,
and the wind were one.
i.e. when I was traveling, the wind
would support me.
And he was able to cover so much
distance, okay?
Alright.
I feel like people are getting tired.
I need everybody to stand up.
Da da da, stand up.
Everybody please stand up, Abdullah you too, you're
everybody, you're part of the class too.
Hashir, let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Poor Hashir.
Alright.
Okay.
Is that what you guys want to do?
No.
Okay.
I think we should do that.
No.
No?
I think it would be good.
Guys should do that, get in a circle
and do ringa ringa roses.
No?
Think of a guy thing to do.
What do you guys want to do?
Sit down?
Sit down?
No, that's not happening.
That's not happening.
What do you want to do?
Stand.
Relax.
Go home.
Go home.
Watch a TV or something.
You just want to sleep?
Cool.
Do you think we should do a barbecue
next week?
Yeah.
Huh?
You're interested?
I'll wake up.
Okay.
We'll wake up for that.
Yeah.
Inshallah.
I think we'll do that.
Are we going to have it during this
or like sometime else?
No.
So we'll, we'll, you guys will come, we'll,
we'll try to see if we can set
up the barbecue earlier.
Uh, but then again, you know, it'll disrupt
the class.
Um, okay.
Great.
We'll have you even a longer class.
We'll do a longer class.
Yeah.
Cause if you have off, then you get
more class, right?
You get to learn.
You guys have Tuesday off?
Nobody has Tuesday off.
I do.
You have Tuesday off?
Okay.
You guys can sit down.
Hashir is still not up.
You can stay standing if you want.
Yeah.
She has to go.
Go, go, go.
All right.
Next part.
Bismillah.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Most of his glances were, were with the
part of the eye toward the temples when
he was not speaking.
When he walked with his companions, he made
them walk ahead of him.
He was the first to greet whom he
met.
He once wore a red garment on a
moonlit night.
The person looking at him asserted that he
was more luminous than the moon.
SubhanAllah.
Okay.
So, few things, some of the first etiquettes
that we can embody.
Number one, if you meet someone, whether you
know them or you don't, you say what?
You say, salamu alaykum for them, right?
Prophet ﷺ said, say salam to the one
you know and to the one you don't
know, provided you know that they're Muslim, right?
You don't go up to a random person
and say, it's like, oh hello Jessica, as
salaamu alaykum, how are you doing?
Hey Mike, as salaamu alaykum, how are you
doing?
Right?
So you gotta know that they're Muslim, especially
in the masjid, especially in spaces like these,
Muslim spaces.
You should say salam to people you don't
know.
Just go up to them and say, as
salaamu alaykum, how are you doing?
Okay?
This is the sunnah of Prophet ﷺ.
Number two, why do you think he walked
and made his companion walk ahead of him?
Who knows?
Beautiful.
Right?
He used to say, leave my backside for
the angels, for the angels, khalu dhahri lil
malaika.
Like so you all walk ahead of me,
let me be at the back.
So that behind, all the angels would be
behind him, yes.
If he used to walk behind him, and
somebody was trying to catch up to him,
but when he was going out and leading
an expedition, that's what this is talking about.
When he is leading an expedition, when he
is in, for example when he would be
in a caravan, he would make sure that
he is the last one.
So that everybody is ahead, and that's also
out of what, that's one of the signs
of leadership.
There's a book called, Leaders Eat Last, and
Prophet ﷺ used to embody that.
Another hadith of Prophet ﷺ it says, saaqil
qawmeen aakhiru shurban, the one who is serving
a drink to someone, that person is supposed
to be the last one to drink.
If you've taken the task of serving and
giving food, if you're in the task of
serving or giving food as a volunteer in
a masjid, you should be the last one.
You should make sure that everyone has eaten.
Nowadays this is new volunteerism that I see.
People go to the masjid, they're like, okay
can I make my plate, put it on
the side, and then I'll serve the rest
in case there's no food left.
That's not the sunnah.
The sunnah is, if there is no food
left, alhamdulillah.
You give your last plate to the person
because you've chosen the task of serving.
And that is called serving from, or leading
from the behind, they call it leading from
behind.
Okay, this is out of the humility of
Prophet ﷺ that he would lead the caravan
and he would stay back.
Okay, next.
Read the whole Arabic and then, so that
you can do the English then.
That's the end of the Arabic.
Okay.
So there's three extra things in the English
that are not in the Arabic, I'll read
those too.
So, it was as though he had been
made of silver.
His blessed face was not glaringly bright or
long like a sword, but rather it was
luminous like the moon.
The Prophet ﷺ represented him, i.e. while
he was awake or in a dream.
In their original appearances, our Master Ibrahim al
-Khalil ﷺ resembled him.
When our Master ﷺ spoke, it was as
though a light emanated from the gap between
his incisors.
Beautiful.
Okay.
Any clarification on this?
Clear for everyone?
Any points that you don't understand on this
part?
Okay.
From now onwards, the speed's going to pick
up, so the rest of the stuff should
be very forward, simple and forward.
Bismillah.
Beautiful.
Located on the back of the Prophet ﷺ
was a physical seal, khatim, a piece of
reddish flesh which resembled a pigeon egg or
the button of a tent.
Okay.
Beautiful.
So this is something very important about the
Khatim ul-Anbiya and I'll just explain what
is this concept, what is the seal of
the Prophethood, to understand that.
Every single Nabi that came, they used to
have a seal of Prophethood.
That was a sign from Allah ﷻ that
they're a Prophet, so they had a physical
thing on their body which was called the
seal of the Prophethood, right?
If you want to understand what this looks
like, there is a very similar medical condition,
it's called Hairy Mephys, Mephys something, anybody
knows this?
It's called the Hairy Mephys disease.
I'm not, okay, so I'll show
you guys this.
It's like something like this, come on, like
people, I'm sure you guys have seen it
but again just for the sake of clarity
for you guys.
It was something like this on the skin,
have you seen that?
Sometimes they have that like a patch of
colour and then it's got hair in it,
we've seen that on sometimes people, right?
So this is, so all the descriptions that
describe to us, it's called Hairy Mephys by
M-E-V-I-U-S.
If you look that up, you'll actually understand
what it looks like.
That's the closest thing that you can understand
that.
It was protruding a little bit.
All of the Anbiya A.S., their seals
were on their hands, except Prophet ﷺ, his
seal was on the back and it was
hidden.
Why do you think it was hidden?
To protect him, because the Jews, Bani Israel,
they basically killed every Nabi, they killed every
Nabi that came.
They didn't like the Nabi, let's go kill
him.
Like their history is filled with that.
Number one, they were, Allah ﷻ says, man
kana aduwwal lillahi, firstly they became enemies of
Allah ﷻ.
Then man kana aduwwal lillahi wa malaikatihi, wa
rusulihi, and the angels and the messengers, they
were open enemies of this.
How many of the messengers they killed?
Sulaiman A.S., read what is written in
their books about Sulaiman A.S. They want
to build the temple of Solomon?
Read their own text about what they say
about Solomon.
They call him a crazy man, they call
him a delusional person.
Then so many other prophets, they literally would
go and say, oh we don't want to
listen to you, let's kill him.
And then Allah will send them another Nabi,
oh why are you killing, let's kill you
too.
Seriously, it's insane.
So for Prophet ﷺ, if they had known
and they had seen the seal on his
hand, they would have killed him.
So his seal was protected, so when he
wore the dress, it was at the back.
And the seal, description of it, all the
descriptions that you're going to read, Husna will
go through all of them right now quickly.
Descriptions are, they were like a pigeon's egg,
it was a small piece of flesh protruding,
it was red in color, there are different
descriptions depending on if it was exposed to
sun or not, but again they were red
in color, it had spiky hair on top
of it, and that was the seal of
the Prophethood that ensured that this is Prophet.
And the description of the seal was mentioned
in their Tawrah, in their Bible, okay?
Even in their Bible it said, you will
find between his shoulders the seal of the
Prophethood.
How do we know that?
Salman Farsi, radiAllahu anhu, when he tested Rasulullah
ﷺ with everything, he said, I have tested
you and you have proven to me that
you are the Prophet except two things.
One of them is, he tested him with
a Sadaqah and a gift.
Prophet ﷺ does not eat from Sadaqah, but
he eats from a gift.
So one day he came with dates and
he said, hadhi Sadaqah, this is Sadaqah, he
said distributed between the Sahaba.
And the second, what did he do?
He gave them dates and the second time
he said, this is a gift for you,
O Prophet of Allah.
Faakala minha, so he ate from that.
The second thing was, he came to see
the seal of the Prophethood.
So Rasulullah ﷺ saw Salman al-Farsi and
as he was there, he took his shirt,
the cloak that he was wearing, and he
lifted it, and then Salman al-Farsi saw
that and then he kissed the seal of
the Prophethood and he started crying.
He said, because of this, because of this,
I have suffered for thirty years to get
to you, O Prophet of Allah.
He left as a teenager from his house,
thirty years of seeking Prophet ﷺ.
His story is very powerful.
So, the seal of the Prophet, the point
of the story is, they knew, even Salman
al-Farsi knew as a Christian, there is
a seal of the Prophethood between his shoulders.
Go ahead and read the entire chapter and
if there is anything to allude to, I
will allude to it, otherwise it should be
very clear, go ahead.
There was some moles on it, like chickpeas
or smaller, whoever wished could see it, because
it was one of the signs of prophecy
in previous scriptures.
Read footnote number 13.
The narrations differ with respect to the exact
description of the seal.
Some scholars have said this was because the
seal would actually change its appearance and size,
whilst other scholars say the difference in description
is a result of each companion describing it
according to his own perspective.
Based on the proximity they saw it from,
thus the seal was described in different ways
without there being an essential contradiction between the
descriptions.
Beautiful.
Next, the
hair of his head.
Read the
whole thing and I'll explain it.
The Prophet used to have a lot of
hair, I said no to following the custom
of my people, but because it is the
custom of the Prophets, and Al-Asyuti said
in a recitation of Surah Taha, he said,
O son of my mother, do not take
my beard or my head, in it you
love to keep the hair of the head,
and do not cut it, and he did
not cut it but four times for the
Hajj or for the woman.
Yes, he used to cut it, and he
did leave it, so whoever saw him in
his condition, and described it, he said, O
son of my mother, do not take my
beard or my head, and he did leave
it, so whoever saw him in his condition,
and described it, he said, O son of
my mother, do not cut it, and he
did leave it, so whoever saw him
in his condition, and described it, he said,
He ﷺ let his hair grow long, he
would shorten it, and at times leave it,
whoever saw him in a particular state described
him accordingly, hence his hair was halfway down
his ears to the earlobes and beyond, sometimes
he distributed his hair into four curls, placing
one curl on either side of the ear,
at times he let his hair loose at
the back without parting it, previously he would
part his hair.
Jimmy, we've already talked about the hair before,
so we're not going to go into that
description, you guys remember that, we talked about
all the length and everything, and the description
of that, go ahead, next part.
Beautiful, okay, end with this, read in English.
Beautiful, why not comb every day?
By the way, guys, where are your books?
I just noticed that.
You have your book?
Okay, where's your book?
Yeah, make sure you guys have your books
along with you inshaAllah next time, okay?
Why not comb every day?
Definitely not, removing your hair was not the
concern that he had.
You don't become obsessed with the hair, especially
for guys.
This new fixation a lot of guys have
with, mashaAllah, standing there.
No, the curls.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Right, you know?
You know what I'm talking about?
I'm like, what is this?
I'm like, comb your hair!
That's 20 minutes.
Huge curls.
Yeah, it's just insane.
So, obsession for guys with their hair is
a feminine trait.
Just so you know.
It's just super, I mean, I'm not saying
don't comb them.
I'm not saying don't have your beard properly
if you inshaAllah one day grow beards.
You know, it's not, I'm not saying don't
have a beard.
Don't, you know, be presentable.
Right?
You do it in the morning, alhamdulillah, khalas,
move on.
But, mashaAllah, mashaAllah.
I know someone, their father sent me a
picture of their son's, I'm going to say
this, but their dressing table.
Their son has a, mashaAllah, beard oil before
shower.
Beard oil after shower.
Hair oil before 30 minutes of the shower.
Hair oil after 30 minutes of the shower.
During the shower.
After the shower.
Before sleeping.
During sleeping.
At night, waking up.
He's like, sheikh, is this normal?
My son has 12 different products for his
hair care routine.
Okay?
I have two daughters.
I don't think they have even like two.
Just two, actually.
Two?
Okay, khalas, two.
We ran out of conditioner.
Shampoo and a conditioner.
But seriously, and the same thing goes with
super fixation of guys and with this is
you should be well dressed but just being
so fixated on how you look and your
physical appearances and honestly, nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
Nobody gives any it's only up in your
head.
Okay?
Wait, can I add something?
Yes, please.
Okay, I will say that this doesn't mean
that you neglect your hygiene because Yeah, that's
another part.
We were in the minna camp and we
got very good.
There is a very fine line between being
hygienic and presentable and then being like overly
obsessed with your appearance.
Yeah, there's two extremes.
And then the third part I go to
this coffee shop and I see all these
Cambridge high school kids coming there in the
morning and they're Muslims some of them coming
up there and it feels like they literally
took a bottle of cologne and they were
like they walk in and the entire coffee
shop smells like them.
They walk out, the next person walks in,
it's the next set of cologne and I'm
like, what is happening?
Bro, it's just chill.
Nothing's gonna happen to you guys.
It's okay to stink a little bit.
Right?
Just make sure that other people don't smell
you.
Okay?
But like, you know if you were just
like, you know, just take it easy on
the colognes, right?
Remember that video I showed you with that
guy which is his ASMR?
Yeah.
So, anyhow the idea of this combing of
the hair is that Prophet ﷺ used to
take care of his hair he used to
take care of his beard he would never
ever ever part from a comb right?
Once Rasulullah ﷺ looked at the person who
was disheveled right?
Beard all over like this that's another extreme.
We have some guys who think it's part
of their deen to let their beard grow
and make it look like Santa Claus okay?
That's not part of the deen, okay?
If you happen to have some extra hair
on your cheeks you are allowed to clear
that just to make sure that you have
a presentable face.
You're okay with that.
You are allowed to trim your beard.
Abdullah ibn Umar is the narrator of the
hadith What is this?
How much beard is beard?
When I look at you, I should say
you have a beard.
Okay?
I'm not saying, you know, keep like a
fist length if you want to do that,
that's great.
That's a sunnah.
But, again, if you just want to have
something there, just be a little bit masculine
about it.
But, the fact that there's no harmony in
the way you dress sometimes is also really
annoying.
Right?
So you're putting dress pants and then you
put your chappals on.
Right?
So there's a way to carry yourself, right?
I mean, this is a very casual class
but like when we do a proper class
and stuff like that, I would expect that
you guys are dressed for the class.
You come properly dressed.
But then just carrying yourself in a very
presentable manner based on the occasion.
And especially for you guys, I would all
tell you, listen to the YouTube channel of
Ask Oki.
Yeah.
Ask Oki.
Huh?
The Nigerian guy.
Ask Oki.
You know Ask Oki?
Ask Oki.
Ask Oki.
So he's considered like the ultimate person.
He'll tell you what color shoes you need
to have.
So as men, you don't get super fixated
and crazy, huh?
Yeah, but you need to have like a
black dress shoe.
You need to have one or two black
dress pants.
Especially guys, because nowadays it seems like everything
is a pajama.
Right?
You go to a shadi.
Like it's crazy.
I go to some shadis and people show
up in shadis and pajamas.
Nike tech.
Like a Nike tech is not for a
shadi.
Nike tech and kurta.
Yeah, Nike tech and kurta.
That's like another mashallah.
So just understand that there is a dress
code for guys.
What is not accepted is to be overly
fixated that your entire life depends on just
thinking about the next shirt and next thing
you're gonna buy.
And we'll talk about the girls also next
week.
I'll elaborate a little bit about the things
that we have to be careful about, especially
girls.
Inshallah.
Did we finish the chapter?
Yeah.
Okay, we'll stop right here inshallah.
May Allah bless you all.
Yes no for the burgers.
Yes or no?
Burgers.
If he says yes we'll do it.
Burgers.
Okay.
Alright.
So we'll do burgers next week, inshallah.
Here's the deal.
We'll do burgers next week.
Now you can end the stream.
The guys online, you don't get burgers.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
People watching online, may Allah bless you all.
Burgers are only for the people who are...
