Abu Nairam also narrates from
Abdul Abin Omar. May Allah be pleased with
both of them that,
that he said whoever wishes to take a
sunnah or an example,
let them take the example of those who
have
passed away from before.
And there's another,
there's another saying very similar to this attributed
to Sayna Abdul
although slightly different.
So let them take the example of those
who have
passed away.
Those are the companions of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
They were the best of this ummah,
and they are the most pious of them
in their hearts.
They were the deepest in their knowledge,
and they are the ones who had the
least takkalufat,
the least affectation.
They're the most direct with one another.
What does this mean?
That their hearts were the most concerned with
fulfilling the rights of others.
And, what does it mean? A'amakkuhaalman,
that they're the deepest in their knowledge. One
of the things a person sees, you see,
like, the libraries are filled with all these
books,
in all sorts of different
all sorts of different,
fields and all sorts of different,
disciplines, even of what we consider daily knowledge.
So one might think like, okay, you know,
like, this, you know, some of the of
the prophet
maybe they were barely literate. Maybe they never
read any of these books. You know? There
are of this. I think, like, if you
if you take, like, the total number of
pages he wrote,
and divide it over the days of his
life from the day he was born till
the day he dies. It comes up to
something like 30 pages a day. So they
probably didn't even the Sahaba radiAllahu anhu probably
didn't even read as much as some of
the ulema of this ummah wrote. Right? Even
in recent times, Mawlana Ashaafali Tanu
he wrote, over a 1000 books. And, some
of those books were very long, multi volume
works. Most of us probably won't even read
a 1000 books.
So one might ask, how is it, you
know, how is it that those people have
the most ill?
And this is what we mean by
that they're the deepest of this ummah and
knowledge
because
the understanding the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
gave them,
it looked like a small channel, but it
ran very deep.
All of the 1,000 books of Tanwi and
all of the 30 pages a day of
Tabari and all of the, you know, the
1,000 plus books of Suyuti and all of
the, you know, Mujalladat of of Hafiz ibn
Hajar and of all these different ulama.
All they were were what? I shout after
the sahabah
and whom that they made shahab that they
explained.
Right? Because the prophet
had this quality in the sahaba afterward. They
inherited it from it from him. That they
could say one thing in which there's so
much meaning tied up in it. And that's
why we say it's deep. Right? So you
may see the pool of water. It's very
small,
but the depth is very, very deep. And
you may see a huge pool of water,
but it's very shallow. And the the ilm
of the people after them when compared to
their ilm is very shallow. And that's something
also that we we lack. We lack depth.
We lack depth of people with you know,
as people. We're people who
are more more interested in looking like you
have a lot and less interested in actually
having a lot. Whereas the Sahaba radiAllahu ta'ala
on whom they're very simple people, say, they
didn't know who's like the servant and who's
the Amir Mumineen.
But they had depth. They had they had
a lot of depth.
That they weren't people of affectation.
Right? They weren't people who insisted on a
lot of, pomp and circumstance and ceremony. If
you look at the
the the the rituals of Islam, they're so
simple. You know, they're so simple. People have
never been to the masjid before. They walk
into the masjid and it's like a,
like anti climactic experience because it's just a
big empty room. If you look at it,
it's just a big empty room. Churches have
paintings all over the place. Even this, you
know, but, you know, all the painting and
these things.
You know, the the the carpet is so
elaborate. You know, some of
if you ask them. That's why is never
popular. Nobody likes a person who knows. Right?
Because they're gonna tell you too much happened.
They're gonna be like, yo, I need to
stop hanging out with this guy now. You
know? But like, yeah, it's it's too much.
It's over the top. It's it's too much,
compared to the so maybe they have like
the sketches and designs of how his masjid
used to look and that was the best
masjid. The bet better than better than, you
know, marble and gold and all these things
people multibillion dollar projects people make nowadays.
They're just
They got to the point. They didn't mess
around, beat around the bush about stuff. And
that's a good that's a good thing. That's
not a bad thing. That's a good thing.
If you see someone who's straightforward with you,
that's a good sign.
Oftentimes, we confuse good, you know, beating around
the bush with with
and they're really they're they're they're they're not
synonymous.
He says that they were such a qaum,
a group of people, Allah chose them for
the companionship of his the companionship of his
Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam
and to transmit his deen. So make yourselves
like them as much as you can in
your akhlaq and in the ways that you
do things.
Make yourself like them as much as you
can in your in your in your manners,
in your akhlaq, your values, and the way
that you do things. Because they are the
companions of Muhammad
and they were on the straight path of
guidance.
I swear by Allah, the Lord of the
Kaaba. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us
people who follow their way and follow their
path. May Allah make us deep people instead
of shallow people. May he make us simple
straightforward people instead of people of affectation.
