Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Hayat alSahabah The Prophetic Majlis.mp4

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.
