I'm reminded of, a story
of the, Jewish man one time came to
the city, Naramod,
said to him,
describe your beloved to us.
Right? So the Jewish man, he knew who
the beloved of was.
He didn't say or
something.
And and say,
he said this is
this is difficult.
So why is it difficult? So this is
just,
this is a very difficult thing to do.
And so
the Jewish man, he kind of lost his
patience and he went to say, this was
during the caliphate of Sedaraman.
And he
said,
or
describe for me your beloved.
And said, now he said to him he
said,
describe for us the pleasures of the world.
And the man's already gonna have to be
more specific to that.
And then he says, so how do you
expect me to describe
the one
who was addressed by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Verily, you dominate
magnificent,
magnanimous
character.
So the ethos of the prophet
is something that is
is just unfathomable,
is incredible.
The kind of human being,
that he was
A prophet, a statesman, a warrior,
you know, a true man
in every sense of the word.
You know, as one of my colleagues said,
visit his wife during the day. We'd fight
the Byzantines in the afternoon
and then pray to Hajj it at night.
And the met was meditating about
the of the prophets of the body.
And something that's just amazing is
the prophet of the in a position of
power would forgive people.
And this is, this is incredible,
you know,
because that's true virtue.
Someone who doesn't have power.
Imagine like a a really weak man. You
know, someone tries to pick a fighter thing
on the street or something. And he says,
look, I didn't engage.
He doesn't have the power to even physically
defend himself.
That's not virtue. That's weakness.
You shouldn't confuse weakness for virtue.
Or someone who has an incredible ability
to defend the faith.
Right? Using the the
proofs that are rational and scriptural,
And someone is trying to goad him into
this type of polemical debate or something where
there's, you know, it's where, you know, people
are sort of it's it's it's a type
of g dad,
that is that is reaching good character and
he's restraining himself.
You know, that's virtue, not someone who says,
why didn't engage, but I don't know anything.
That's not virtue.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, during the conquest
of Mecca,
this was incredible.
But when he came into the city
and Saudi
Arabia when
he passed by, he
was saying,
that today is a day of slaughter.
The the the basement of the porridge.
Right? And so word reached to the prophet
that this is what Sad was saying.
His name is Sad. Sad. He said, even
though bad. No.
And and so, and so the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasalam, he says, go tell them not
to say that.
And so this rider approached him and he
said, don't say this. And he said,
I don't believe you.
And so the writer came back to the
prophet
and the prophet took off his blessed imamah,
and he said, present this
to Sa'am,
and take the from him, the standard that
he was holding,
but give it to his son,
face. So this is the the genius,
the hikma of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
He's taking the standard from him would hurt
his feelings as it were because he's holding
the standard of the Muslims.
But give it to his son, sad son,
so that when you honor the son, you
automatically honor the father. If I shake your
son's hand, I'm honoring you.
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he passed
by Abu Sufyan and he said, al yawma
yomun marhaman.
You're isulullah Qureshan.
Today is a day of mercy,
the exaltation of the Quran.
This is incredible when you think about it.
It's really incredible.
Right? So you find in the in the
previous prophets, all of the,
of the previous prophets are in him.
And you look at this sort of story
of Yusuf Alaihi Salam
rejected by his brothers, was forced into exile,
came into a position of power.
Right? And then,
had the ability to exact retribution retribution from
his brethren and he forgave them.
This is exactly what happens in the life
of the prophet
Muhammad and even even quotes from Surat Yusuf
at the conquest of Mecca.
Right? Today, there's no blemish upon.
You know? This is true virtue. Can a
subhanahu wa ta'ala says jahidnas
and a subdulmanik ra'ala Abu Anhu described him
as saying he was the most
formidable and courageous of human beings.
A true courage is balanced.
Right?
That there's something called foolhardiness.
Whether it's you sort of plunge yourself into
danger without thinking.
That's not wise.
And then the other extreme of that
is cowardice.
You fail to respond.
Right? So he is the pinnacle of ethics.
The pinnacle of good ethics.
And this is an area of study,
you know,
just by itself is incredible. On the day
of
as we heard as well,
the prophet,
it is recorded that, you know, he injured
his blessed face and there was blood streaming
down his face,
but he was trying to catch the blood
with his hands and absorbing the blood with
his clothes.
And the Sahaba said,
no.
What are you doing? And he said, if
one drop of blood should strike the earth,
then immediately,
the angels will come and vanquish
all of our enemies.
Right?
And so
they said, let
it let it flow.
And they saw him a short time later
with his hands raised.
Oh, it's it's game over now.
This is what he said, salallahu alaihi salam.
There's something similar attributed to
Isa alaihi salam in the New Testament gospels,
the gospel of Luke, but almost all scholars,
textual critics believe it's a fabrication.
That he didn't actually that did not say
this. It's important. He apparently said it while
crucified. Of course,
So these are the virtues of our prophets
of the body.
And,
with the he brought up with the drawing,
the prophets of the body.
Right? And the drawings of those days
was poetry.
You know, the poet, the
had a lot of power.
Right? If a that was well known,
insulted you or lampooned you, lambasted you in
a in a poem that could stay for
generation after generation after generation.
They were feared, the poets, and they were
beloved.
They would have poetry contests.
Right?
The
the 7 greatest oaths would be hung with
the Kaaba.
Right?
So when the promise of the Lord Almighty
sent him came into Medina,
Medina told,
There was a man, Hassan, who would later
become a companion,
but he was a great poet.
And so the
and Medina
who would become the Munafiqeen.
Right?
They came to Hassan Ibn Sabbath and they
said,
you know, when you see him,
write something, make fun of him.
Insult him,
lampoon him in a poem so that we
can laugh and we can recite it.
You know?
And so Hassan said, yeah, they gave him
some money.
Right? Mhmm. There's some money. So Hassan, he
said, you know, he was waiting
by a certain road
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam to pass
by. And then he sees
the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam.
And then he just he is in awe.
And then he goes back to the
and he says, here, I don't need this
anymore. I don't need your money.
I said, did you write something? He's like,
yeah. I wrote it. What is it? It
said,
So
He said, when I saw his lights approaching,
it was like, lights were approaching.
I had to cover my eyes
because of the illumination.
I was fearful of losing my eyesight
because of the beauty of his countenance.
He said, it was like a soul made
of light.
His body looked like the full moon.
He looks like a mantle stitched
The prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam
is a human being,
but he's not like other human beings. He's
like a gem
or a ruby
while other men are stones. A gem is
also a stone. It's the same genus. He's
not saying he's an angel or something like
that.
He's not some, you know, demigod. He's still
a human being,
but he's like a diamond. Hello, mister.
The greatest of human beings. Yeah.
This is just one glance into the countenance
of the prophet
and the prophet
he was,
you know, he had these virtues. He was
a long suffering person. He was very, very,
forgiving.
You know, we have to learn the sunnah.
You know?
I mentioned this the other day in the
that,
you know, people, they go on these YouTube
rabbit holes,
and they come across channel after channel after
channel of antiques and content.
Right? And they it gets that type of
crisis,
but they fail to put things in perspective.
As he said again, I'm taking everything from
the footer. I love this. When Kufar
speak about the prophet,
it's like dogs barking at the moon.
Does it affect
the majesty of the moon as it traverses
the sky?
One iota.
It's a total waste of time to insult
the prophets of the body.
It it gets you nowhere. It's a total
waste of time.
And
Allah tells us
You know, good and foul things and good
things are not the
same. Even if the sheer abundance
of the foulness
would dazzle you. So amazing, there's so much
of it.
Fear God, oh people of deep understanding. The
people of look like the people of
essential understanding.
They know.
They put things in perspective.
They know he is the shahir, the yomotiam.
What does some loser on YouTube think? Who
cares?
Are you kidding me?
The Allah, the leaves of the trees of
Jannah, they have the name of the prophet
The arsh of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
La ilaha illallah Muhammadunsuwwullah.
The name of the prophet
is on the arsh of
Allah
What is the loser saying? We should pity
them.
Really?
We should make du offer them.
We should want their guidance. The prophet
he wanted the guidance of the worst of
his enemies.
He would not give up on them. This
is what I mean when I say it's
long suffering.
You would not give up. After 20 years
of fighting,
you know, the prophet he came up he
came to Abu Sufyanneh Qur'a. Isn't it about
time for you to acknowledge who I am?
I'm about to take over Mecca. Is this
a sign? I'm gonna break these idols. Isn't
it about time? And he said, subhanallah, you
still you you're still calling me to your
religion?
This is what he cared about ultimately.
The woman who cannibalized Hamza
on the battlefield. The Quraysh, she would do
things like this.
She came to him completely veiled, hinted
completely veiled and she said, praise be to
the one who made his religion victorious.
And he said,
he said,
welcome.
And Hamza was, you know, saying his uncle,
but he was more like his brother. They
were almost the same age.
It's like his brother.
She cannibalized his brother and he because the
point is, come into Islam.
This is incredible power to be able to
do something like this. When you could flex
in just
he could have done it, and he's well
within his rights to do that. But to
forgive for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala,
To forgive the man while he killed say
to Hamza.
All of the leaders of the Musa Hakim
at the battle of Uhura.
Most of the leaders on that day became
Muslim.
Amur ibn al-'Aas who was fighting against the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he said to his
son on his deathbed, Abdullah. He said, there
was a time when I hated the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam so much, I fought against
him in many battles and then there came
a time I loved him so much, I
couldn't raise my eyes to his
because I was awestruck by him. And if
you ask me right now, what did he
look like? I don't even really remember because
I couldn't look him in the eyes when
I became Muslim.
And this is a person that the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam showed so much love to,
someone who was fighting against him. He showed
him so much love
that
Ahmad ibn Al Aasi came to the Prophet
one day and he said,
I have to,
he said, who do you love the most
for humanity?
And the prophet immediately,
who do you love most for humanity?
And the prophet said, Aisha.
Mhmm. Masha'allah.
Aisha. See?
His wife.
He loved his wife. And some of the,
you know, more tough desert Arabs,
you know, they don't they don't they don't
admit you love your wife. Yep. Right? It's
part of the culture of the tough, you
know. He said, he said, whoever lives in
the desert becomes sort of gruff. Mhmm. Like
the Bedouin would come and ask the prophet
some questions. The Sahaba had mixed feelings about
it
because they love the questions, but they were
kind of rough with the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
They would grab his clothes and they would
they wouldn't address him by his title and
things like that. Well, the man came and
urinated in the masjid.
So come and ask the lady. The Sahaba
got up to address the man. You know
what that means?
The guy's in trouble.
The prophet said, Darren, leave
him. Let it finish.
And then the prophet goes up himself.
Imagine if this happened today. Imagine this. He
wouldn't make it up to the Masjid al
Makk.
Imagine a homeless man or something like that.
Just comes in, they kept on the bathroom,
and
what's gonna happen to these men?
He said, you you know, brother, this is,
That's how he said it. Oh, oh, my
Arab
brother. You know, this is, appealing to him.
Yeah. This is a masjid. This is a
place of salawats and afkad.
You know? We don't do these things. And
he said, oh, I didn't know.
You know. And then when the man was
leaving the masjid, he turned around because the
Sahaba scared him.
He said,
So he said, oh Allah, have mercy on
me and on the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam and nobody else.
The Prophet laughed
and he said, you're constricting the rahma.
Don't constrict the it's okay. Make do offer
everybody.
This is incredible.
As a brother mentioned again, they're they're making
fun of his name in Mecca,
You know? They go,
which has the opposite meaning of Muhammad.
The Sahaba were sad and they're,
oh, this is this is terrible.
The prophecy, what are they what are they
saying? They're they're they're saying this and he
said, oh, these are strange.
What's strange and weird people they are? What
do you mean?
And master tactician is gonna diffuse the entire
situation with a bit of humor.
He says they're reviving this.
I'm Mohammed.
I'm the most praised.
Who who are they talking about? That's not
that's not me.
People draw a picture. That's that's that's what
some loser drew.
That's not the prophets of the body. Who
is the prophets of the body? We have
a picture of him in the Quran.
The prophet, sallallahu alaihi, sallam, is more beloved
to the believers in their own selves.
Say, Naha Hadi said the prophet salaam alaihi
wasalam was more beloved to us than anything.
Your shade here
means something that was brought into existence. Right?
Means something that willed into existence. This does
does not include in this context, it doesn't
include Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So out of all of creation,
out of everything that's willed into existence, he
was the most beloved to us
Even more than cold water. So he's using
that analogy in the desert era would understand.
Oh,
he really loves
the promise of his cold water in the
desert era.
That's,
you know,
Jannah on earth doesn't work.
So, I mean, there's many things we can
say, but I'm gonna
put it short. And may Allah
bless all of us. May Allah
accept this from us.
Put us under the banner of the prophet
and,
and, make us of those who benefit from
the the prophet of Allah. May Allah
give us a to implement
the
