Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Hayat alSahabah If You Were Harsh.mp4

And this Ayah is no exception.

The beauty of it is in

the jamaal

and the rahma,

the beauty and the mercy of Allah Ta'ala

and His Rasul, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

That Allah

tells his Nabi

that indeed it's because of

mercy from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

So hadith of the prophet

narrated in.

It's

part of the longer hadith that I am

nothing except for a distributor, and Allah is

the one who gives. So the principle in

play here

that it is

for it is from the

mercy of Allah ta'ala

that you are soft with them. That the

Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam received the mercy

from Allah

and then he transmitted that mercy to his

companions and to this entire ummah,

that he was soft with them and he

was soft with us. And Allah informs him,

If you were if you were if you

were harsh

and, heavy and thick of heart, meaning a

person who nothing gets inside of his heart,

they would have all left you. They would

have all ran away and left your side,

abandoned your side, not been around you anymore.

So Allah tells the prophet

So forgive them.

And ask Allah to forgive them.

And

and ask their opinions about matters

that, you know, there's certain things that Allah

has already said. Those things there's no much

in them. We don't ask one another about

those things.

But it's a sunnah, and everything other than

those couple of things, you know, ask one

another, what do you think? What's your opinion?

This is the hack of every of every,

follower that at least their opinion, if it's

reasonable, should at least be heard.

It doesn't have to be listened to, but

it should at least be heard. The of

the leader that is that they should be

obeyed. The of the followers that they should

at least be heard or they should at

least be listened to. So make with them.

Consult with them in your affairs before making

decisions.

And then when you make a firm resolve

to do something,

then trust in

Allah. Verily, Allah loves those who trust upon

him. And so such a beautiful ayah regarding

so many beautiful character

characteristics of Adi.

It's a part of the of the prophet

that there are many things he used to

get done indirectly just through kindness.

The the

the of the prophet

is

that even Abdul Abin Abin Abin Abin Abin

Abin Abin Abin Abin Abin ibn Saloo. He's

the rais of Munafiqeen. That was the that

he was given. He's a rais of Munafiqeen.

He's not just a he's not just a

client, he's the president. When it comes to

Munafiqeen,

he's not just a client, he's the president.

Right? And he would say, kufr, one thing

after the other. But the prophet

noticed what was his style. With the,

his style was that they would find harshness

in him.

They would find harshness in him. If someone

wanted to fight Islam and fight the Muslims,

to try to negotiate

some sort of renegotiate the the Hudna,

the ceasefire between the Muslims and Kfar.

And he found Bilal and he found Suhayr

Rumi, and he was harsh with the sorry,

he he started speaking with them, they were

harsh with the Musafian.

And Abu Bakr because

his heart is so soft when he saw

this, he said, no, this is the elder

of Quraysh. You can't treat him that way.

And so he chastised

Bilal and Sahib who are people of of

of tribally from the system, people of low

rank. And so when this matter came to

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, what did

he do? He chastised Abu

Bakr says, no. This guy, he's he's like

the enemy of Islam and the Muslims.

His feelings are nothing compared to the feelings

of these two people who say la ilaha

illallah. So the of the prophet

is there in the Quran also, is that

he used to show his he used to

show his his in front of the enemies

of Islam.

Not not we're not I'm not saying non

Muslims in front of the enemies of Islam.

Obviously, the people here are not our enemies

politically. Why? Because we're citizens in this country.

We've entered into political

alliance with them. We should recognize that fact.

It's a fact. We've entered into political alliance.

If you don't wanna be in political alliance

with them, for whatever reason, x, y, or

z, we won't say you're you're, you know,

not a Muslim, but you should probably leave.

You shouldn't live here anymore.

But for those of us who chose to

made that choice, we live here. It's a

common understanding we have with them. But with

the enemies of Islam, the prophet will show

us an and jalal. People forget that sometimes.

But inside Madina, he never used

to do that. The munafiqeen

didn't believe in Islam, the prophet knew who

they were, he had a list of them,

he knew them by name. He shared that

list with Josefa

He knew who those people were. But still,

when permission would be sought to chastise, kill,

punish one of them. It's a hadith of

Bukhali.

What did say?

Say, there's nothing nothing stopping me from giving

you permission except for what? I don't want

the people to say, Muhammad

I want people to think that Muhammad

is the one that he kills his own

companions.

Because for an outsider, they won't know what

the difference is. Meaning what? If someone's a

Muslim, they come to the even if they're

a bad person,

it's something that's bad that a person can't

get along with the people who are around

them.

And if they if he had said I'm

a kafir, I'm leaving and made himself an

enemy, that's different. But as long as he

stays and tries to play by the rules

of the game, we vouchsafe the the what's

in the heart to Allah

He's going to sort everything out.

We shouldn't be people that people from the

outside look at us and say, man, I

don't wanna be friends with this guy. Look

what he does with his friends. This guy

is crazy. This guy should stay as far

away from him as possible. And on the

flip side, there are many people who had

bad intention when they came to the prophet

in the beginning,

and just because of his niceness, he just

took care of took care of the bad

intention and turned them into good. Even Abdullah

bin Ubay, his daughters, his son, all of

them, they they became Muslims to the point

where Abdul bin Ubay, one of his sons,

once was afraid his father did something so

bad that he's afraid the prophet this time

will definitely give the order to kill him.

He came to the Nabi

and said he said, I'm a person, I

admit I have some Jahiliyah inside of me,

and I cannot stand the idea that another

man would kill my father, and I would

take vengeance from him. So if you give

the hookm to kill him, you tell me,

I'll do it myself. Don't let it don't

make me suffer the humiliation of another man

doing. This is how much they had

the love for Islam. Right? And if he

was if he wasn't nice like that

you'd see that that there'd be so much

from the side that they wouldn't have pulled

it. Obviously, the prophet neither did he kill

Abdul Abdul Abid and obey nor did he

tell his son to kill him. But the

point is is that that good character is

what? What the difference is that even though

the guy himself is not going to enter

into the deen,

all of the all of this even family

members, they they they all came in because

nobody's going to,

not wanna be with something that that that's,

you know, that that that shows that much

Rahma and that much good character and that

much softness. So many give all of us

we remind one another also. And I'm not

perfect myself in implementing this, but it is

a that it's in the book of Allah

and

and we could all use a little bit

more practice with it. We get upset with

Muslims. We say, oh, Muslim country this, Muslim

people this, the Masjid this, this. This. We

shouldn't say things like that. We shouldn't act

like that. We shouldn't if we find ourselves

walking the masjid and have more anger to

a person, average dude in the masjid than

we do an average dude at Walmart.

It's a problem. You don't have to, you

know, you don't have to raise my hand

because I have that problem. But if they

if someone finds that inside of them, then,

you know, it's a problem. There's ways to

treat it as well, inshallah.

But, that's the sunnah of the Nabi Sallallahu

alaihi wa sallam. May Allah give tawfee.
