Muhammad. So we continue with the same long
narration,
in which
the different ahuaw of the prophet are
described by Sayna Ali radiAllahu anhu to Sayna
Al Hassan radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.
Al Hassan asked his father, I I asked
him,
how was the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam's silence?
This is a deep question
because we're people who talk too much.
If you wanna point fingers, you have a
big target right in front of you. Masha'Allah.
Allah forgive all of us. But I'll tell
you something even though it may not seem
like it, but,
what we benefited from the silence of our
masha'ikh, maybe we didn't benefit from their speech
that much. Silence is the one of the
foods of the nafs,
of the of the of the the ruh,
I should say. So if a person ever
feels in a in a spiritually,
spiritually
bad state or weak state or confused or
frustrated state, and you can't do anything else,
just stay silent for a while. Although the
song, the the the the vow of silence
that is described from the umam that came
before us, that's haram now. You cannot do
that. But how do you do silence? How
do you benefit from silence?
Don't speak more than you need to. If
someone says salaam, say wa alaikum,
The rest of it if they want to,
you know, have a great conversation, you can
indicate to them that that this may not
be the best time, in a polite way.
And and that's okay. There's nothing wrong with
it. And if you ever find somebody, a
person of great maqam, great piety, great knowledge,
you can sit with them and not say
something, and that's okay. You're still benefiting. You
don't have to be talking. They don't have
to be talking to you. You don't have
to be talking to them. Sometimes just sitting
with the ahulullah in silence is one of
the best foods that a person can have
to nourish themselves spiritually.
So the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam is
silent. Saidna Saidna Hasan
asks
you know, analyzing,
analysis
or deep thought.
As far as his his, deep reflection or
sorry, as far as his reckoning or his
sizing things up,
it was,
in order to,
make level or make equal his his,
his his points of view, meaning to, like,
straighten out his points of view.
And it was also in his listening to
people.
As far as his deep thinking and his
meditation pondering over things, it wasn't pondering which
things will be, will remain forever, and which
things will
perish one day. Meaning those things that are,
that will live forever are those things that
are part of the deen and those things
that will perish one day are those things
that are part of the dunya. Wajama Allahu
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam alhimu sabr.
And and in the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, you see you would see combined both
forbearance
as well as patience.
Nothing used to make the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam angry, you know, without
him choosing to be angry about that thing.
And nothing would overpower him and make him
angry, nor would anything cause him to,
Istifazaaz
is like, you know, it's not like a
formal thing to say, but like like to
freak out. Like nothing would cause him to
like lose his senses and like just,
lose control. Nothing caused him to become angry
against his will and nothing caused him to
Nothing caused him to become angry against his
will and nothing caused him to lose control.
And he would and he would be very
cautious
in in 4 matters.
Whenever he would take something,
even though he would take it in a
good way.
And and,
to stand for some matter
that that was both in their dunya,
and in their akhirah,
good for them.
And with that, the long ethere ends.
Allah
give us to make
the many very beautiful, characteristics of the messenger
of Allah
mentioned
