Alhamdulillah, by Allah Subho, we've reached
Sunday again.
And
I'm very happy that,
upon the
order of our mashaik and our elders,
in particular, Mawana, Shaykh Amin.
We get to read from the Shamaylu, the
Rasul,
so compiled from
Nam Tivity.
You can take a look into all of
the copy that we're reading from,
and follow along.
It is the Institute,
print,
of the
translation of the Shamael translated,
and,
edited and, with commentary
by
Sheikh Abdul Aziz Suraka and, Sheikh Mohammed Islam.
Allah reward
them and reward,
the Imam Ghazali Institute for putting out this
beautiful addition. And like we said with
some notes and comments from the
commentary of Moana Sheff,
uh-uh, Sheykhul Hallease, Moana Zakaria, Candlalahu
Wa Ta'ala from time to time.
And so, this is a reading of Tabarak
Insha'Allah. And And,
again, I'm not the most qualified of people
to be reading this,
but, Insha'Allah, we take the barakah of the
Sanath that end with the messenger of Allah
Sallallahu Alaihi wa
Salam.
With the intention that Allah
said in his book,
And Allah ta'ala
wasn't the one to torment them as long
as they sought forgiveness. So we ask Allah
for his forgiveness for our sins.
And at the same time,
we keep the words of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, the sunnah of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam amongst us as a
shield that repels
that repels,
calamities
and tribulations
from us. And that we learn something about
the way that the noble prophet, sallallahu alaihi
wasalam, was and what his noble habits, customs,
characteristics,
inward and outward
were so that we can adopt them on
ourselves in the hope that the Lord, Shalimar,
will see us and take mercy on us
because
we, did our best to
measure up to the standard,
of of his love, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So we continue last week. We read from
the
the chapter regarding the clothing of the messenger
of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the nivas
of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And,
today, we read a very short chapter.
We start from a very short chapter.
The chapter regarding
the lifestyle of the messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
Aisha is is what Aisha literally means to
live.
So people ask each other nowadays, how are
you living?
So you wanna know how the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam was living, this is how
you're living.
Mohammed been sitting from the,
from the from the, Aslaf, from the big
of the
from the Tabirim he mentions,
we were with Abu Gureira, the Allah man
who was wearing 2 linen garments, dyed
in granite clay.
And
These are these are fine clothing.
These are these are fine pieces of clothing.
He blew his nose into one of them,
but, that that he was wearing 2 linen
garments. Linen is what? Linen is
Linen is like, for example, it's a really
nice,
for a person who goes on Hajj, it's
a really nice,
although a person should make sure not to
buy it. It's so thin that it's see
through.
But it is a very fine cloth made
out of pure cotton.
And it is woven very finely,
and it's like a delight and a pleasure
to to wear and,
to be in. And it's in many ways
an ideal cost for being the Arabian Peninsula.
What's the problem? The problem with cotton is
very thirsty crops. You can't grow it locally
in Arabia.
The clothing that was locally available in Arabia
at a cheaper price was what
they had available, which was not anything made
out of cotton, but made out of hair,
out of wool. Because they did have livestock,
they did have herds. So they had access
to hair. But what's the problem? Wool is
very warm clothing and
it doesn't absorb sweat very well and it
doesn't
know, keep a person cool. They're gonna breathe
very well rather it's ideal for the opposite
for keeping in heat.
And so, you know, linen and fine cloth,
soft cloth like that was very rare, and
it was something enjoyed by the the privilege
privileged classes and the upper classes. In the
life of the prophet, very few people had
it.
He blew his nose under one of his
2 living cloths, and he,
explained.
So what is?
Is like an expression of approval or astonishment.
Like like we say it like
or like we we say in English, for
example, wow.
And actually and are actually cognates. They're both
essentially the same word,
pronounced slightly differently in different languages.
That we say wow wow,
to express astonishment,
and approval.
So he blew his nose into one of
his 2 linen cloths,
that was dyed in red clay
and explained,
wow. Wow.
Abu Hureya now blows his nose with linen.
Yet by Allah, there was a time when
I would fall unconscious between the pulpit and
the messenger of Allah. The pulpit of the
messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi wasalam
and the room of Sayedha Aisha alayhi wasalam.
Such that a person would place his foot
on my neck
because I was thought to be insane. But
I wasn't insane. It was just because of
hunger.
And so
it says that he describes that he would
writhe,
that he would writhe in pain and,
particularly
the pain of hunger.
Where between the
member of the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam,
and the,
the room of Saydai,
And for those of you who are familiar
with the
sacred,
layout of the Messenger of Allah
masjid, what is that that space between the
member and between the between the, the
of Sid Aisha. The Hujra of Sid Aisha,
rabi Allah, on hand, is where the messenger
of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is buried.
And
most people are familiar with the Hadith Nabe
Nam,
Nimbari or Kaveri Rola from the Riyadh of
Jannah. The
place between my
between my pulpit and between my grave is
a a garden from the Gardens of Paradise.
And so now all of the
the wonderful and
excited,
pilgrims who come to Madina Munawara
in order to, present themselves in the court
of the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, and they say salaam to him in
person.
They they
jockey and vie with one another in order
to get into that robotic place, and people
know it because it's marked by a different
color carpet.
It's green whereas the rest of the carpet
and the mustard is, like, more red.
And,
they will rush in after every salat and,
you know, the guards sometimes have to, like,
push people out of it because people, once
they enter in, they want to stay.
And, even from our
who is the teacher of the start of
Moana. I mean,
may Allah
raise his rank and increase him in his
virtue and given his status with the Aliyah
and, make our Sheikh who's the
student follow-up his footsteps and live up to
his standard
make us live up to the standards of
our moshayah as well.
That, he mentioned that that that when a
person goes into that place and undoubtedly many
of the have
mentioned this
throughout the generations that when when a person
goes to that place, that they should make
the du'a to Allah
the person who entered into Jannah, you never
kick them out. And people can go to
the hellfire, but then they can be taken
out and go to Jannah. But the way
Jannah works in the Aqidah is what? Is
that once a person enters, that person is,
in in the wholeness and in safety and
peace
and in security.
That you never you never have to, you
never have to leave this place again. That
just like you made Jannah like that and
you made this into a part portion of
your Jannah.
You've entered me into this Jannah, never, never
kick me out and never fill me out
from it again. That Mubarak place that everybody
fights in order to get into.
Prayed this many rakaz in the robot. I
went into the robot every day I was
there. I went into the robot this
many times. Oh, I struggled to get into
the robot and I couldn't make it. That
same role of Mubbocka,
that people,
How did it become,
how did it
become, a garden from the gardens of paradise.
And the explanation of this is in in
found another hadith of the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi
who
said,
That the hijab, the veil
that covers up and obscures,
the hellfire from
being seen for what it is
by the people is what
is.
The the carnal desires of people. That people
desire
things. And so everything that a person desires,
money, status,
beauty,
the pleasures of the flesh, the pleasures of
eating and drinking, the pleasures of comfort,
carnal desires, all of those things.
A person will
will move toward them and keep making their
life's purpose to go toward them. Those things
become like their bride. And on the
wedding night when they lift their veil, what
will they see underneath it? It's all haufai.
It's all Jahannam. And
on the flip side, what is the hijab
of of Jannah? The thing that screens Jannah.
What is the niqab and the book of
of Jannah
is what and
those things a person hates, struggle,
sacrifice,
pain,
suffering,
dejection, loneliness,
deprivation,
being told no when everybody else is being
told yes.
It's Abu Herrera or Aliyalaha man who he
had a home, he had a tribe. Medina
wasn't his home and it wasn't his tribe.
He had no one to feed him, he
had nothing to eat and drink. He was
there as a student of knowledge.
And times would become tough. He would have
nothing to eat or drink. He would ride
on the floor. In agony. And what the
agony of hunger to the point where people
would think that he's gone and
saying that he lost his mind. He's done
that. And the person would put their their
their their foot on the on his neck
in order to stop him from riding.
And so this is what he's describing. So
now I'm wearing nice clothes. There's a time
to forget about clothes we couldn't even afford
food. There's another hadith for the prophet
by the very beautiful hadith that's that's relevant
to this hadith. And
he describes as he describes as difficulty
in that he went through and the in
particular, the the this intense hunger that he
used to go through in order to,
in order to, you know, sustain being a
student of knowledge.
That, once,
the Nabi
came and he said, I was so hungry.
I was about to lose it. I was,
like, at the end of my wit's end.
And the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam came
with a big bowl of milk.
And he says,
Abbaher,
oh, and Horeya is the diminutive form. He
says, oh, Abu Kath,
Come.
He says, take this milk and then, like,
give it to all of the other students
to drink in the sofa.
And he was thinking, like, man, I'm the
most hungry, and I'm the one who needs
this as
bad as as possible. You know, like, the
most the one who needs it the worst,
like, the most in the dire way possible.
Obviously, you're not going to, you know, show
attitude with the prophets of Allah. They would,
say we hear and we obey. So the
poor he had to take the milk 1
by 1 to all the other students and
they drank.
But miraculously,
the, you know, it was still there in
the bowl, they all drank, they all drank.
And then the messenger of Allah
says, now you drink.
And he says, I I would drink. I
drink. He says, no. Drink more. Drink more.
And he gave him his fill,
and he said he drank until he could
drink no more. Then the messenger
of Allah himself drank.
And this is really important because you find
in another hadith of the prophet narrated by
that
the household the prophetic household, months would go
by, 2 months would go by, and nothing
was cooked in the house because there's nothing
to cook, No bread. I mean, like, nowadays,
if you have bread in the house and
you're only eating bread, a person would be
like,
you know, that's bogus. But people used to
survive for long periods of time like that.
2 months would go by
3 new moons in a row, and then
nothing was cooked. And they, you know, say
that I was asked, like, what did you
guys used to survive on? And so she
would say we would survive on on
on dates and on water.
As a gift to the messenger of Allah,
salallahu alayhi, he would distribute it to his
family.
And to even this milk is what? It's
a gift.
It's a gift or it's a that was
sent by someone else's household. It's not like
the had all this stuff sitting around and
he was like, okay. You know, you guys
are hungry long enough. I'm gonna I feel
bad for you. Whatever. He himself didn't have
anything. And guess who was the last one?
And it wasn't the by the way, it
wasn't that he would keep the gift in
his house and give the to the others,
which was true. If someone
sent never took from and he made it
haram on his family to take the money
in zakat also.
To this day, it's haram on his family
to take the money in zakat.
So here, it's not that he gave them
the the milk of and the evidence of
that is he drank from it himself at
the end. This is the the the the
gift, the first milk he had. He knew
the students were hungry, so this is also
the milk that his family is gonna drink
from. Also,
he's gonna drink from, but what did he
do? He gave it to the students to
drink first, and then Abu Hurair who was
the last to drink amongst them. And so
if you look at the order in which
they drank,
the order in which they drank is the
reverse of the order of rank and merit.
Because out of the students of the
sofa, who is
the the one whose name we hear mentioned
the most frequently in the narration of the
hadith.
And who's the only one who drank after
him,
is the
And this was a gift all of them
were waiting for. Like, not waiting for it,
but this was the gift that all of
them needed. None of them had drank from
before that.
And so say,
imagine if he's that thirsty,
there's one who drinks after him
Imagine how thirsty he
And so this is this is what this
is why that load of Mubarakah that's between
the member and the grave of the prophet
salallahu alaihi wa sallam is that garden from
the gardens of paradise. It's because of these
people's mujahada, these people's struggles in the path
of Allah.
It's because of these people's sacrifices in the
path of Allah
Allah. They saw very little material
benefit, and what they saw was later on,
but they were able to wear linen. I
mean, it's not all that different different different
than the the the clothing that I'm wearing
right now that probably get mocked from being
like a beggar in the streets nowadays. They
used to say, Look at the the you're
wearing like soft clothing now. And you would
feel guilty about it that we're taking too
much from the dunya.
As for Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
left this world before any of those had
happened.
So he said that, he said that I
would fall unconscious between the pulpit of the
messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, in
the chamber of say that I,
has such that a person would come and
place his foot on my neck.
Because I was thought to be insane, but
I wasn't insane. I was just riding hunger.
And,
you know, you have to understand, like, when
we read heavies like this, and obviously we
never went through this ourselves, but we did
go through some significant amount of difficulty in
Mauritania, in Pakistan,
you know, and the Madama virus where, you
know, we wouldn't have meat or rice or
simple things like that for, you know, over
a month at a time.
You know, going through those 125 degree temperatures
or, you know, 35 degree temperatures at night
without a blanket
or, you know, waking up sugaring and convulsing.
You know, those times when,
you know, living having to live semi exposed
to the outside,
those times of having to,
you know, be eaten by mosquitoes or bitten
by other,
bizarre insects or all sorts of things. You
know, like, one of my classmates,
that studied with me in Mauritania one time,
you know, there's not you know, Mauritania is
not like a place where there's a lot
of food going around.
So what he had purchased some dates from
the city or sent to one of the
brothers who was going to the city to
bring some dates for him. And so he
stashed it away and saving it for a
special occasion. A donkey got into his tent
and ate his dates and literally ruined the
entire living. Donkey slobber everywhere. Donkey slobber is
very thick and it's very gross. And very
gross.
And like I remember the dejection in his
eyes in his face. This brother, by the
way, is currently
ill with the coronavirus.
I don't want to mention his name so
as to not cause him to definitely be
having to
to deal with an inhibition and flood of
of whatever
guap,
notes and texts and things like that. But
he's a very good brother. He studied with
me, and I consider him to be not
just a friend, but a brother.
And he's been ill for two and a
half weeks and it's not getting better.
And, you know, there's no, you know, there's
no space in the hospital. The doctors are
trying to treat him at home, But he
had to go to the emergency room just
today and get x rays and other, you
know, other procedures done. So please make go
offer him.
And that there are people in this world
who suffered like that. He studied in Mauritania
for so long
that,
he was basically on the verge of
suffering from liver failure after a couple of
years.
And, he,
he then, he was sent home by the
masha'i. He basically went and gave everything he
had until he was about to die, and
then the said to go on and he
studied quite a bit.
And so, obviously, it's not the same, as
what the Abu Ghraib, the is describing. You
can never measure up to the companions of
the Allah man. But this is a sunnah.
Whoever wants knowledge, they're gonna have to go
through this sunnah. They have to be prepared
to go through this sunnah.
And this is where the barakah comes from.
The great sacrifices can literally turn
this earth,
this earth, which is be followed by the
sins of people, it's be followed by their
oppression, it's be followed by their transgressions, it's
be followed by their sins, It's be followed
by their racism. It's be followed by the
rich taking advantage of the poor. It's be
followed by their arrogance.
This this this
earth that we're all on, it can also,
through the beauty and through the sacrifice and
the mujahada and the nur and the ascension
of people and their rank. It can also
be turned into,
as it was turned into by the best
of generations into literally a garden from the
gardens of paradise.
So the person who has the eye outward
eye will see all the green carpet that's
really beautiful.
The person who sees with the heart, you
know, with the with the vision of the
heart. And there's a difference between eyesight and
between vision. The person who has vision, that
person can see what other people cannot see.
That person will know that that Jannah was
earned, with these
these great sacrifices. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
When we read them in the hadith, we
also say radiAllahuhanhu.
When we read the name in the in
the dust, you also at home say salallahu
alayhi wa sallam. And
what I'll
really happy, and all of that, and be
pleased with them. That we have these hadiths
because of the those,
the those sacrifices
that those,
noble companions went through.
So,
we continue,
and who narrated from.
The Messenger,
he never ate
his fill
of either bread or meat unless he was
eating
at a buffet.
This word buffaf was a a kind of
like a fancy vocabulary even from Alek Ben
Dinar.
And so he said that, I I asked
some Bedouins, people who are known to be
eloquent in their speech, what does the word
mean? And he said, it needs to eat
with other people.
And he went with the W, so long,
so only in his fill with others when
a guest or
when a host or with others. Otherwise, there's
no habits all along. So you want to
know that Aisha the prophet somehow he used
to live. He never ate his fill of
food. Rather he just had enough to get
by. Which interestingly enough, strangely enough,
is probably one of the most healthy ways
of living and we see the evidence of
it now. But it doesn't mean that it's
easy
and, it doesn't, you know, take the
edge off of the suffering when a person
doesn't have
enough. And we we, you know, we have
to, like, stop eating for a little bit
of time. People say, oh, shit, you know,
like, you know
the best was, like,
an imam,
said that one of his
one of his, parishioners asked him
recently that we should suspend the fasting in
the month of Ramadan.
Why? Because people need to eat to keep
their immune system up.
Okay?
Well, look, if your immune system is in
such a compromised state, that's actually true, then
there's some room for
there's some room for,
you know, some room for discussion between the
doctors and between the of these.
But to ask to do it in general,
I think most people most people, you
know, their comorbidity
is morbid obesity.
And, their immune systems probably would get somewhat
of a jolt for them to eat less
to be very frank with you, to be
very honest with you. But even if we
were to do that, we would do it
only as much as we needed to and
to the point where it benefited us and
we would stop. Imagine that messenger of Allah
salallahu alaihi wa sallam who describes
that when he was being boycotted,
by a Quraysh
that that,
you know, months would go months past and
he had nothing to eat except for the
small amount of who
could smuggle in his armpit. Who here wants
to eat something,
smuggled in the armpit of somebody?
And imagine how little that amount of food
would be,
to smuggle past a picket or past a
boycott without being detected because it's in the
armpit of a person in like hot, sweaty
Arabia.
That that, you know, like that's the type
of eating. It's not like just intermittent
fasting so that you could be cool like
the San Jose, Silicon Valley executives or whatever.
That's like the amount of hunger that will
harm a person. I was the hunger that
the messenger of Allah
went through. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
send peace and blessings upon him. And also
give us the himma and toqiyyah by making
a little bit of struggle and sacrifice for
his sake as an excuse so that our
sins can be forgiven and calamity can be
lifted from us. And we can have some,
some sort of misdowith him
in this world and in the hereafter.
And then we can also show show our
faces on the day of judgement and say,
you Allah, we also gave something up for
your sake.
The next chapter is
sock nor a shoe.
It is akin to the footwear that people
used
to wear, in earlier times.
Type of footwear that people used to wear
in earlier times that were kinda more made
out of rawhide.
And,
so they didn't have a it's like a
shoe that doesn't have a sole on the
bottom of it. And, there's a bunch of,
like, 50 issues about wiping over clothes and
things like that. I'll spare everybody the the
the details because this is not a fit
and diverse. If you wanna know the complete
issues, you're more than welcome to and go
to my SoundCloud, soundcloud.comforward/hmhmuhr
and, like, listen to the chapter about
wiping more hoofs. There's, like, a long, exclusive
discussion with regards to that that that issue.
But today, we just wanna know more about
the hoof of the prophet
rather than than just the legal,
implications of wearing
So we read this hadith from,
Hanadim's study,
which
is an individual whose hadiths come
in,
in all of the
Sahid narrations. He's a really amazing individual. If
you go to the Dar al Hadith
website of Mufti,
Muhammad
Abbas Omar
in South Africa who was one of the
close students at the time of Sheikh Mohammed
Alwama and still a close student of Sheikh
Mohammed Alwama
Abdul Fataha Abu Gouda, one of the preeminent
Muhammadin Hanafi Muhammadin of the last century.
He wrote a paper about him so you
can go to Dahl Hadith and read about
him. A very amazing individual,
a mountain of of of the fear of
the Lord and the steadfastness indeed.
He said
that, Wakiya, he heard this hadith from Wakiya,
who himself is a great hadith and a
companion of Abu Hanifa hamdullah.
We heard from Belham bin Saleh, we heard
from,
who heard
from
gave as a gift to the prophet, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, 2 black
hoofs, 2 black,
pair of black leather
footwear.
And he immediately put them on and performed,
performed,
and then he wiped over them.
And so there's a number of interesting things
here. One is that,
the Abyssinians in that time,
their main export was leather. And so that's
one of the things that the Arab used
to trade that with them. And so,
you know, said that Najashi
who accepted Islam and then the priests of
Allah some prayed his Janaza.
As, you know, according to the Hanafees and
Malek, this is an exceptional case. He created
his Janaza
remotely.
Whereas
the
Shavate and I think the Hanafilah also, although
you correct me if I'm wrong, deli that
that that can be prayed remotely when they're
needed.
But, Najashir
radiallahuan who accepted Islam,
he gifted,
to the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam
2 plain black cloaks.
2
plain black,
cloaks
a pair of leather for the year. And
the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, put them on immediately,
and he made wubu and he wiped over
them,
which indicated that he had wubu from before.
And,
he, he renewed his wubu and wiped over
them, showed them how to wipe
over the
the
It's reported that
Murat Musova,
gifted
the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam a
pair of hooks,
which he then wore.
And,
in a different chain of narration,
it's added
that
Juba as well, which is
an overcoat that's open from the front.
Then he wore them until they were worn
up, but they started to tear away.
And the messenger of Allah,
didn't know me. He didn't ask if the,
the cooks were
made of hide the hide of an animal,
which was ritually slaughtered or not. And this
is a
difference of opinion amongst the.
In general, the Jambore
and
and some of the Malekis,
they consider,
leather once it's tanned to be pure whether
it's slaughtered or not.
Whereas the,
the Maliki mad hub the Imam Malik is
fatwa is that tanning doesn't make an impure
doesn't make an impure
hide into a a pure hide. And Allah
Allah knows best.
He makes a note that the other is
half which was mentioned in the previous
in the previous chain of narration. Mentions
that he's
whose, first name is Soleiman.
Because oftentimes,
different narrators may share the same name. Sometimes
they may share the same or the honor
same honorific title.
And so, this is one of the beauties
of, and he adds these little notes to
help the who reads his book,
keep these things straight.
We move to the next chapter, Babu Majafi
Nahi Rasulillahi
The chapter,
of what has been narrated concerning the sandals
of the messenger of Allah, messenger of Allah,
Subhana,
So,
Koteba,
sorry. Not Koteba. Atada,
he mentions who is a
a a great Sheikh of the Tabi'in and
also a great student of Abdu'a
Bina Abbas
He said that I asked Anas ibn Malik
How are the blessed and Mubarak sandals of
the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
And he, replied that each had 2, 2,
2 toe straps.
So, like, when we have flip flops or
bong sandals
nowadays,
the most popular design is what is that
there is one
once one thong that
the the the the the big toe and
then the toe next to it that that
strong strap, like,
comes between the big toe and between the
second toe.
Whereas in his
Mubarak sandals have 2 straps that bifurcated. So
it was the, probably the big toe and
then the middle toe and then the rest
of the toes are possibly the big toe
and in the middle two toes underneath the
other two toes. And I'm not a 100%.
I'm not a 100% sure about it but
it is known in the design that's transmitted,
by the hadith of the messenger of Allah,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that there were 2
front straps of the blessed sandal of the
prophet
and the
the Mubarak sandal of the prophet
also had a very distinctive design, which is
also,
transmitted,
by
it's not only transmitted by,
by narration, but it's also known because the
actual sandals of the prophet
were seen by so many people.
And so you'll see it oftentimes as a
logo or emblem on people's
you know, on people's clothing or the clothing
or it will have a pin or it
will have it on the top of their
their hats or other things
that it it's kind of like a, you
know, like a a bulb,
like a arch,
design. And then it comes in a
little bit, and then it comes, it flares
out again near the end.
And so, you know, one of the stories
regarding the Na'Sharif of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam that I like to tell,
you
know, whenever a mention of the
Mubarak sandals of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, is mentioned is that when I was
studying in Pakistan, our Madrasa was kinda halfway
between Lahore and Ryland
where where, I mean, it's a huge village
on its own, but the the big market
is right next to it as well.
So
it was the closest town
to our member. So sometimes we go to
Rywin to buy things from the market, whatnot
whatnot.
They're the cobbler in Rywin
who actually would make a custom pair of
sandals
that
looks like the sandals of the prophet sold
a lot on these.
And,
I thought that was amazing.
And they're really nice sandals.
You know, they're they're really they really were
nice sandals. They're beautiful sandals.
So I went there and I, you know,
I asked them how much they were and
they were very reasonable.
So he actually took a trace of my
foot and he made the sandals.
He said come back in like whatever 10
days or something like that and they'll be
ready. So I I got them made. I
went back and they're really well made and
really beautiful, made out of black leather. And,
and
I went to the Dara hadith in order
to
go to my darshan day wearing my new
saddles.
And,
my
teacher,
Sajid Moana,
Mohammed Hassan, who you mentioned
we narrate this book from we read this
book from in particular.
I read the front half of Timothy from
him. I read
from him. I read the front half of
the Mishkaq al Masafi from him. I read
the from
him. I read the front half of,
of
Jalalim. I read a number of from him.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
blessed him and gave him a long life.
One of the most Mubarak people I've ever
seen. And one of the most Mubarak people
I've ever seen.
I've ever
seen. And one of the most astonishingly
robotic people I've seen in my life.
A man who literally would teach from 10
in the morning until,
midnight or 1 o'clock in the morning every
day. He'd go to 3 different Madars and
teach. And it's not that he would sleep
until 10, he'd sleep until Fajr and
see like whatever 4 or 5 hours a
night,
excluding whatever he must have woken up for
Tahajid or whatever. And then when he would
get up for fudge or right after fudge
or he would start just reviewing. Because he
can teach all those lessons. You have to
review and prepare for all of them at
once. So you just do, like, a solid
2, 3 hours of pair of preparation and
then start teaching at 10.
That,
very robotic person. So he he walked into
the Darul Hadith to teach the Daruss,
and, he saw the sandals and he his
face, like, lit up. He says, this is,
like, beautiful. He says, this is the Mubarik
Nala of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the
same shape of the the Mubarik Nala, Mubarak
Sandals of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And, he said, whose are these? And so
I was like really proud of myself. I
was like, oh, yeah. I said, it's me.
They're mine. I got them made. And he's
like, they're so beautiful. He said that he
said that,
you know, they're so beautiful. I said, Bistagi,
if you want, I can get one made
for you as well.
And he, you know, his like face like
a dream.
And he says, I could never put these
in my feet. And he knew it and
he picked it up with his right hand
like this and kissed it and he put
it back down.
Obviously,
you know, that was like a moment of
ultimate
failure for me. I call it a jerk
for putting it in my my my feet,
but I was astonished by the reverence,
that he had,
that these people have of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. I guess if we never
met these people, we wouldn't have known either.
What does it mean to love?
There were sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
But this is why this is relevant. The
the mubarak and the sandal of the prophet,
sallallahu alaihi. I mean, imagine if a person
would kiss a sandal just because it looked
like his sandals. Imagine what that person would
do for them.
So we continue.
Of the messenger
of
Allah had the 2 toe straps and 2
mid foot straps. So basically, the 2 straps
were gathered together on a place on top
of the on top of the foot,
and they bifurcated
forward, and they bifurcated backward and also tied
back into the, the backside of the, backside
both sides of
the Mubarak sandals.
Isa Abdul Ahmed narrates
that Anas bin Malik took out
and presented to us 2
sandals made out of hairless leather.
Each of them had 2 front straps.
Tabitha Bonani, who was the main,
the main student of Anas
and the main narrator from him,
he mentioned later on that those
sandals that he showed you were the 2
blessing sandals of the prophet
sallam, which indicated that this must have been
something that happened when Anas ibn Malik himself
was very
Abu Abu
al Anhuma said I saw the messenger of
Allah
wear hairless sandals and perform
wudu while wearing them, and so I love
to wear them as well.
Was heard to have said,
I saw
that I saw the messenger of Allah
print sandals that had new soles,
sewn into the old,
which is also you know, it shows their
simplicity
in that generation.
The simplicity of the messenger,
which was then inherited by the the other
companions. That they wouldn't throw away things
that could still be used, but they kept
using them and fixing them, kept using them
for as long as they were usable.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for Barakah and the
things that we have rather than making us
so to, just use things and throw them
away lest we become people who do that
with other human beings as well.
Oh,
the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
said as was reported by Abu Huerra,
let none of you walk while wearing a
single sandal.
Rather, either wear both of, the sandals or
walk with both of your feet or,
with both of your feet there.
And,
Pertaba,
merits from Malik
with this different chain of narration, but a
Hadith got similar.
And he narrates that the messenger of Allah
forbid
that a person should eat with his left
hand or walk with only one sandal.
And now I feel it's important to mention,
with regards to the, the prohibition to eating
with the left hand, that only, applies to
eating. So if somebody is left handed, it's
okay to write with the left hand and
do other things with the left hand. There's
nothing satanic or evil about a person being
left handed. It's kinda is how how it
is. It is how you're born. But it's
just in particular eating a person,
the messenger of Allah commanded that they should
eat with the right hand and not with
the left even if they are left handed.
Allah make it easy.
It's a hadith, and he brings 2 different
chains of narration through Imam Malik,
from,
Abu Zinnab, from Al Aalaj, who was one
of the key students of,
who brings from his Sheikh Abu Huraira. May
Allah be pleased with him that prophet
said that when one of you puts on
his 2 sandals,
let them start with the right. And when
they take off, his 2 sandals, let them
start with the left. And let the right
sandal be the first one that is
one and the last of them which is
taken off.
The messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
who
love to start from the right as much
as he was able to. Whenever he would
do something that was worth doing or something
of
of habit, he would like to he would
love to start with the right hand and
then, do the left,
in everything. And that included combing his hair,
and that included,
putting
on his, blessed
sandals, and that also included his tahar, meaning
his wuwuh, and his his whistle. So, like,
when you have, like, a pair of limbs,
right, like, right your right hand and the
left hand, you wash the right hand first
and then the left.
And just like that when you're making the,
a person should wash the right half of
the body,
wipe and rub the right half of the
body before
wiping and rubbing the left. I know
that,
which is a condition of the validity of
and
is a condition of the validity of both
of them, only in the Maliki Madhub, but
in the other, it's also a sunnah. So,
we embrace that that when you wash and
wipe
the body, in the whistle just like in
the middle, you should start everything that comes
in a pair. You should do the right
half first,
before doing the left,
And in order to maybe saw the an
idaraka of the sunnah, the messenger of Allah
Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salam in order to attain
the message of sunnah, the prophetic
sunnah.
So the blessed sandals of the messenger of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and the sandals
of Abu Bakr and Umar both had 2
toe straps. May Allah Allah be pleased with
them both. The first one to have a
single toe strap was in Uthman
So inshallah, that is,
the conclusion of the chapter with regards to
the, Nabi sandals,
and I think it's a good place,
for today's,
nurse to,
wrap up.
But, inshallah, before we leave,
just a couple of reflections that the the
the majlis,
the person who takes the most benefit from
it is the one who hears about the
stories and the akhwal of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam and the noble companions,
and the masha'i, and the ulema,
and increases in their love for them, and
in their following of their ways.
Venerated inside of the heart and then
taken for
action,
taken for, to be acted upon and to
be
implemented in in the one's life.
If a person is unable to do those
things, because a lot of the sunnahs that
are mentioned here are not for in
or
they are not the obligations.
And some of them may not even be,
considered from the sunnah of Puddah, but they're
the noble habits of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
The point is is what is whether the
shoe is in your foot, whether the sandal
is in your foot or not, that it
should be in in your heart.
That the
the the that a person has is that
whatever the Nabi salallahu alayhi, so my habit
was in his
and whatever he did was better than what
we did.
And, what you should get from this also
is that every time his blessed name is
mentioned that you say the on him, and
you make the benediction,
of Tarabi.
May Allah be pleased with them, with the
names of the companions of
the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasalam.
And that you make likewise du'a for all
of the righteous and the aliyah and those
people who transmitted
this
knowledge to us in this Mubar chain silsula
that we
grab hold of first an opening of Shabalat
al Din Niddie, but one one day we
may actually need these people and need to
grab hold of them in order to make
it into Jannah as well. Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala safe,
that for us. Insha'Allah, we make du'a for
a few minutes inshallah before
before signing off.
You Allah from the barakah of this this
Mubarak prophet
that you raised as a mercy
for mankind and the barakah of all of
those companions who served his risala and served
his message and delivered it to us. And
the barakah of the names and chains of
the and the names of the unbroken chains
of narration that connect us to them. And
all of this Mubarak knowledge, Yalla, lift the
the the the
the the tribulations and lift the the the
the the tragedies and the calamities
that be followed the
from above our heads, you Allah. All of
those who are sick with this
pandemic or with any other sickness, everyone who
is suffering from this pandemic or any other
suffering from the Ummah, Sayedullah,
or from the creation. You Allah.
You Allah lift it and give them a
cure and give them protection from all of
their woes and from all of their worries
in this world and the hereafter. You all
let anyone who did good by us in
this in this world, anybody who has any
goodness in them, anyone who we owe it
to make a du'a make a du'a for
them because of their goodness to us, you
Allah, from those who haven't been guided. Give
them your Hidaya Barakah, this Nabi, Nabi Urahma,
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Before they pass from this world and give
that toffee to us likewise
so that we can have a place together
forever and ever in your and in your
Jannah
and in underneath your pleasure with your oliya
that we never suffer nor do we ever
have to go through deprivation or hardship ever
again. And Allah, Allah,
protect
the
and give us a chance to visit the
of your Rasul
again and again and pray over there in
this world and give us the visitation of
your Jannah. Such a visitation that we enter
and we never leave ever again.
