Muhammad. So we continue with the same long

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

narration,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

in which

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

the different ahuaw of the prophet are

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

described by Sayna Ali radiAllahu anhu to Sayna

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

Al Hassan radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

Al Hassan asked his father, I I asked

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

him,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

how was the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

wa sallam's silence?

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

This is a deep question

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

because we're people who talk too much.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

If you wanna point fingers, you have a

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

big target right in front of you. Masha'Allah.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

Allah forgive all of us. But I'll tell

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

you something even though it may not seem

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

like it, but,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

what we benefited from the silence of our

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

masha'ikh, maybe we didn't benefit from their speech

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

that much. Silence is the one of the

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

foods of the nafs,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

of the of the of the the ruh,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

I should say. So if a person ever

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

feels in a in a spiritually,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

spiritually

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

bad state or weak state or confused or

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

frustrated state, and you can't do anything else,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

just stay silent for a while. Although the

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

song, the the the the vow of silence

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

that is described from the umam that came

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

before us, that's haram now. You cannot do

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

that. But how do you do silence? How

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

do you benefit from silence?

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

Don't speak more than you need to. If

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

someone says salaam, say wa alaikum,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

The rest of it if they want to,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

you know, have a great conversation, you can

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

indicate to them that that this may not

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

be the best time, in a polite way.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

And and that's okay. There's nothing wrong with

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

it. And if you ever find somebody, a

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

person of great maqam, great piety, great knowledge,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

you can sit with them and not say

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

something, and that's okay. You're still benefiting. You

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

don't have to be talking. They don't have

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

to be talking to you. You don't have

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

to be talking to them. Sometimes just sitting

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

with the ahulullah in silence is one of

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

the best foods that a person can have

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

to nourish themselves spiritually.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

So the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam is

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

silent. Saidna Saidna Hasan

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

asks

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

you know, analyzing,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:43

analysis

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

or deep thought.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

As far as his his, deep reflection or

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

sorry, as far as his reckoning or his

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

sizing things up,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:01

it was,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

in order to,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

make level or make equal his his,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

his his points of view, meaning to, like,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

straighten out his points of view.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

And it was also in his listening to

00:03:14 --> 00:03:14

people.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

As far as his deep thinking and his

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

meditation pondering over things, it wasn't pondering which

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

things will be, will remain forever, and which

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

things will

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

perish one day. Meaning those things that are,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

that will live forever are those things that

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

are part of the deen and those things

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

that will perish one day are those things

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

that are part of the dunya. Wajama Allahu

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam alhimu sabr.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

And and in the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

sallam, you see you would see combined both

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

forbearance

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

as well as patience.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

Nothing used to make the Messenger of Allah

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam angry, you know, without

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

him choosing to be angry about that thing.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

And nothing would overpower him and make him

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

angry, nor would anything cause him to,

00:04:10 --> 00:04:10

Istifazaaz

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

is like, you know, it's not like a

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

formal thing to say, but like like to

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

freak out. Like nothing would cause him to

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

like lose his senses and like just,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

lose control. Nothing caused him to become angry

00:04:20 --> 00:04:20

against his will and nothing caused him to

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

Nothing caused him to become angry against his

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

will and nothing caused him to lose control.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

And he would and he would be very

00:04:30 --> 00:04:30

cautious

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

in in 4 matters.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

Whenever he would take something,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

even though he would take it in a

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

good way.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

And and,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

to stand for some matter

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

that that was both in their dunya,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

and in their akhirah,

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

good for them.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

And with that, the long ethere ends.

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

Allah

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

give us to make

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

the many very beautiful, characteristics of the messenger

00:05:04 --> 00:05:05

of Allah

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

mentioned
