So we continue with the same hadith.
There's a number of hadith of the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam that any speech or
any talk that doesn't have the dhikr of
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, or doesn't begin with
the dhikr of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. It's
aqtaq. It's like a person who, you know,
it's like a human being who doesn't have
hand.
Obviously still a human being but, you know,
who would want that to be their condition
on purpose? Who would want that for themselves?
And so whenever people sit and and speak,
speak or sit to speak
when they're beginning and when they're done. They
should always start and finish with the dhikr
of Allah Ta'ala. Then you can talk about
whatever you want to afterward. It will temper
your your speech though and keep it, hopefully
help keep it in in within the bounds
of of goodness rather than,
something evil or something that's a waste of
time, which itself is sufficient in terms of
evil.
A specific place reserved for himself when he
would sit with people,
and and and he,
he would forbid other people from doing the
same thing.
He didn't have a spot reserved for himself,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And this is a
a custom of the king's,
of of of Jahiliyah
that they would do that. There's a special
spot and a special protocol they would sit
in. They wouldn't mix with people or be
one of amongst people rather. They would insist
on a certain type of protocol whereas the
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
neither insisted on any protocol when he would
sit with people and when he would go
to the when he would
when he himself would sit in a majlis,
it wasn't fixed, that you can only talk
to me at this time. You can't talk
to me at any other time other than
that. And when he would go to the
majlis of other people,
he would just sit where a spot was
open rather than insisting to sit in a
a spot or being insulted or not,
being seated in a certain spot or in
a certain position or certain chair or in
a certain way or being greeted a certain
way or or whatnot. And he was very
easygoing about these things, and he he ordered
the people also to be, easygoing about these
things as well.
And this is, like, you know, controversy,
controversy
amongst the about
even the way people should be greeted when
they come in.
So
there is,
Jama'at of faqaha
that say that it's even Makruh stand to
greet somebody when they come in the majlis
because the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam would
would insist that people not stand to greet
him. And some of the faqas say, you
know, it's permissible if you're doing it, you
know, if you're not if you're doing it,
to honor somebody who's a worthy of being
honored and b, you're doing it out of
some sort of sincere intention
rather than out of protocol, out of takaluf.
And so,
that being the case, I mean,
rather than rather than dwelling on which one
is right or which one is wrong, if
it's a difference of opinion, then we respect
other people when they make amal on it.
But the point is is what? Is that
you shouldn't have so much
protocol with to cut off with people, so
much affectation that you,
insist on one thing or the other. If
someone is doing something that's good, you know,
that's fine. But a person shouldn't be like,
oh, look, this guy didn't shake my hands
with me. One hand instead of 2 hands
or he didn't stand when he met me
or he didn't do this or he didn't
do that. Other person should be very easy
going because that's the way the messenger of
Allah
was and that's the way he ordered his
companions.
So if you if you came to a
people who are sitting, he would just sit
wherever he was seated, and he would tell
people also to accept wherever they're seated.
And when he would sit with people, he
would give every person he's sitting with their
right.
Meaning what? Meaning when he'd sit with people,
he'd give a little bit of attention to
everybody who who he was with rather than
to talk talk only to 1 person and
ignore the other people around him. And this
is a part of, you know, common etiquette,
common sense as well.
And especially when somebody else is a stranger,
it's easy to blow over them. Like, you're
at a party or you're at, you know,
sitting at a table somewhere or whatever.
This is part of common courtesy and just
being a nice person is not to, you
know, at least to say a little bit
of something. Even if you don't know anyone,
introduce yourself or say something so that they
feel comfortable engaging the conversation with you rather
than feeling excluded. And so the messenger of
Allah was such that whenever he sat with
anyone, he'd give every person their share of
the conversation,
to the point where,
everybody thought that he was the one that
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam honored the most.
He was the most honored by him, that
everyone was pleased with the way the prophet
interacted with them.
Whoever sat with him or stood with him,
for for any amount of time and was
in need of something, the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam would would
enjoin him to to patience.
Quran. Oh, you who believe, be patient and
enjoin others to patience
and make others firm in their in in
in their, deen.
So he would he would whenever someone would
come to him with a need, he would
give that person patience and then join them
to patience,
to the point where that person would come
come back and be control over
over whatever affair he's in or or or
feel empowered. And whoever asked him, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, to help fulfill a need, he
would not send that person back either, except
for that he fulfilled that need or at
least he told him some some
speech that would make him feel better or
would make him feel ease. And when would
he fulfill the need? When he could.
And when he would he give him kind
words? When he couldn't fulfill the need. The
prophet
said, if he had something, he would give
it. If he didn't have it though, because
it's easy. You could say, oh, well, a
rich person can follow sunnah because he just
gives everyone give give give. I don't have
enough to give everybody, you know. Even a
relatively wealthy person, if they gave to everyone
who came to them, they'll become
bankrupt very quickly.
There are many rich people who became rich
just because they don't
give.
So, so what's the sunnah? The sunnah is
if you have something to give, you give
it. And you don't you don't if you
don't have to give, you know, some everyone
who comes and asks you for everything in
the world, you can give them something. You
don't have to give them everything. But if
you had something to give, you would give
and, if you didn't have anything,
materially to give, you would at least give
them good words that would make the person
feel better.
He was so generous,
with the people, with his openness, and with
his good, character that he became like a
father to people.
And they were with him in terms of
of of rights and in terms of the
hap. They were all equal to him. You
treat them equally in terms of their what
their rights were over him.
Whenever he would sit, that sitting in that
gathering he would be in was a gathering
of of forbearance and a gathering of shyness,
and a gathering of, patience and a gathering
of trust.
You know, it wasn't a place that people
would,
that people would lose their temper with one
another or be, fahesh with one another, indecent
with one another,
or would lose their patience quickly, or where
you would say something and then you would
tell everybody else your secrets that you said
them with confidence.
It was such a in which voices weren't
raised.
It wasn't a place where haram things were
praised nor the place where people would
talk about sins as if it's a good
thing.
People have this some people do this also.
Oi, I'm gonna do it before I used
to pray, before I used to this I
do this and none, and they boast about
these types of things. That's something that's that's
a haram and b, not the sunnah of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam were doing
bad things are praised or boasted about.
Uh-uh 2 people who are similar to one
another,
they would be honored. The one who would
be more honored amongst them is the one
who had the more
2 people who came humbly,
with him, they would be given
a position
with respect to who is older
and whoever is younger, that person would be,
mercy would be shown to them.
And they would, prefer the person who has
a need in that majlis. They would put
them forward and let them speak about their
need rather than, shooting the breeze.
And they would take care of a stranger.
They would be very careful to take care
of the stranger. Allah
give us to implement the sunun of the
prophet beautiful
Ali's.
