A few years older than him, and some of the scholars, they tell us
from that, that while we should always look for compatibility,
when there's goodness in a couple, when there's goodness in a
relationship, then you should get on it right away. And they say
that's what Khadija did. She saw the goodness in the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and she broke the norms of the
culture. The norm of the culture of that time was for the woman to
be proposed to but Khadija, the Allahu anha, a strong
businesswoman, wealthy, she's not I'm not, I'm not about to let this
slip past me just for some cultural norms. And so she sends
Nafisa Nafisa to her friend, to go give the message and we talked
about that.
As we're getting closer to this moment, there are still a few
things that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam has to learn in order to
be ready for the prophet hood. And there's more things that the
society needs to see about him. See, part of what he's going
through before the message is getting him ready. But another
part of what he's going through is getting everyone else ready. So
when that light comes, when that note comes when that blessed
message comes, there's no denying who he is. So when Khadija about
the Allahu Taala on her when she married the prophets of Allah who
it was salam,
she had this servant by the name of Zaid
and Zaid was about
for 10 years younger than the Prophet salallahu Salam so he's
about 15 years old, he's a teenager
zayde has a crazy story.
zayde story is that um, by the ways eight is the only companion
of the prophet who was mentioned in the Quran. The only one ze
stories crazy.
Zaid was a young boy, he's playing outside front of his his house.
When a neighboring tribe attacks his family's tribe.
They attack the tribe they they take they pillage they take things
they steal, steal, steal him, he's kidnapped and taken away.
And those times it was the norm if someone was kidnapped and taken
away, well, that was it. They were sold into slavery sold into
bondage. And here, this young boy is now 13 1211. He's cut off from
home. He's disconnected from everything. He's known the streets
that he's known to aunts and uncles that he's known the parents
that he's known, he's cut off from them, and an instance
slowly but surely, somehow just through trade and buying and
selling, he ends up in Makkah as a slave.
And lo and behold, he's with Khadija.
Before I go forward,
it may be it may seem that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is putting us
through what seems like our darkest moment.
But in fact, Allah is setting you up for the biggest light to come
into your life.
Of course, we always ask Allah to get us out of difficulty. But when
you can't remove the difficulty and when dua is not removing the
difficulty. Our job is to be in that moment and realize there's
something Allah wants me to get from this moment. There's
something Allah wants me to get from this moment.
So what happens, Zaid ends up in the house of Khadija.
She works for he works for her.
When the Prophet slice Allah Mary's Khadija
Khadija wants to give the prophets of Allah who it was salam, a gift.
So she says that the prophets of Allah, he was telling me she says,
I have two servants.
And I want you to look at either one of them and I want one of them
to be your servant from this moment on
the prophesy sums only 25 Oh, I can use a hand around.
He's like his assistant only 10 years younger than him. Man he
could unload the dock you know, unload the merchandise. He can
help me out
the profits of the light. If someone looks at Zayed and he
says, I want say to be with me,
the prophets of Allah it was Salam brings zayde close to him.
And he works with zayde and eventually the narrations tell us
that the Tuckahoe rasool Allah the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi, wa
sallam,
he freedom, like now you don't need to be a slave. We're tight.
And in those times, if a slave was freed, then they stayed kind of
loyal they stay close to the one that had freed them. So if freedom
will go you're good man.
What Tibet now who? And not only that, now when they would walk
around the prophets of Allah today was salam would say Ibni this my
son.
So he became known around the town as Zaid ibn and Mohammed Zaid, the
son of Mohammed Zaid, the son of Muhammad
time a few years passes, not much a year two years.
And his father is missing him so much that he writes lines of
poetry is that circle the Arabian Peninsula because of how profound
they are. Poetry was a mess message, how that's how they would
get word out. It was like a, a tweet, you could say.
And it went viral this poem, because it was just it was lit, it
was bars fire.
So when they heard when they heard this poetry, people start
spreading it. And when they spread the poetry, they spread the
cliffnotes to like, Y'all before you hear this, you got to know the
backdrop to it. And then they would drop the lines of poetry. Lo
and behold, the father gets word months later that yo We found your
son.
Your poem reached Mecca, and your son is in Mecca.
So the father, hadith is his name, Hadith and his uncle. They get on
their their camel, they go straight to Mecca.
And listen to the narration.
They go through the city, they asked, Does anyone know where
Mohammed is? Does anyone know where Mohammed is? sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
I told you a lot of this stuff that happens to the prophets of
Allah who it was salam. It's for people to realize who he was for
the reality of his character to be witnessed. Listen to this, for
duckula Hadith and a who, who is in a V. Hadith in his brother,
they go and they meet the Prophet. He's not a prophet yet. So the
Lord he was said, and they start to speak really highly to him
because they're going to ask him for something big. They say Oh,
son of Abdullah, Oh, son of Abdulmutallab. Oh, leader of his
people. Oh, the one who lives in Mecca. They're just praising him.
Oh, the one who feeds the poor and the one who takes care of the
prisoners.
We have come to you because our son is with you. Be kind to us and
take this money in ransom for him.
For calling the beast of Allah he was sending the Prophet looks up
when they say that. And he says men who are who are you talking
about?
And they say they've been a hadith he goes owes aid.
The prophets of Allah sent him immediately. He's only 2627 years
old. He immediately causes aid in zayde. First thing he says is,
hey, do you know who these men are? You know, I mean, like when
your uncle used to come into daycare pick you up.
I mean, come to school pick you up early. Did you know who this
person is first? So do you know who these men are? Zaid, 17 year
old young man. He goes, Yeah, I know who they are. I recognize
them. That's my dad. And that's my uncle.
And the prophets of Allah. They was selling me says, and shit, the
OChem nd he goes if you like, you can stay with me.
But if you want, go home,
go to your old town. See your old friends. Go with your uncle be
with your dad, see your mom. Go back home
for all Zaid
Zaid assess the situation. And he says Bell Aki mo N duck goes nah,
I want to stay here. I want to go anywhere I want to stay here. And
then he says these words and as I was reading them,
before I read them, I want to ask you a question.
What would you give to be with the prophets of Allah who it was?
What would you give to be next to him on the day of judgment? What
would you give up? I should ask you to be with him. Do we truly
love Him?
You know, as he said,
Well, my honor Biller, the octo alayka I hadn't. I can't choose
anyone over you.
And to many be McConnell of well, whom
you owe Muhammad to me.
You're my mother and my father.
I want you to understand that as people got close to him,
sallAllahu it was send them as we are in this blessed month of
Ramadan, and we sit in these final minutes of our fast and we are
reflecting on the character of the chosen messenger of Allah. I want
you to reflect on how people who got closer and closer and closer
to Him, they realized how beautiful he was.
And there's two questions. The question I have first, is when
people get close to you do they see beauty?
Number one,
and number two, have you started to see his beauty?
Have you started to see him in a dream yet? Have you started to
just think about the prophets of Allah who today was salam. How
does he do this? How does he do that?
his father and uncle are standing there and they say, way Hakka,
yes, Zaid, a TATA abou dia Island Horia, they say, Zaid, what's
wrong with you? Are you choosing to be a slave? Over freedom? And
y'all gotta listen to these words. He says, I'd rather be I'd rather
be a slave of Mohammed than free in this dunya
I don't know about y'all but we have a choice to be on this Deen.
We have a choice to fast right now. We have a choice to pray. We
have a choice to be armed. And in this moment, when someone's asking
Don't you want to eat right now? Don't you want to not wake up for
Fudger?
The answer is the same answer that they'd give
I'd rather be a slave of Allah than just free in this dunya
so he says
well I beaker while I make you choose this man. All inom Yes, I
choose this man and liquid he says in Nicotra a tomb and harder Roger
che and I've seen stuff in this man MA and ability to Allah He
hadn't. I pray Allah make that menu. He says I've seen stuff in
Mohammed. I'll never choose him in someone else over him. What would
it be ask Allah to make it so that in your heart you see beauty and
Mohammed so you choose his sunnah his way over every other way.
ask Allah to give you those final moments of of fasting when we ask
Allah for all of the dunya What if tonight what if today's into fast
you just dedicated it to one thing? Oh Allah make the Sunnah
beloved to me.
Make the way of Muhammad beloved to me. Imagine if that was
answered.
For lamea Zelle Zaidan endo Rasulillah when the prophesy Selim
heard this, he said okay, UNK, that's our word, right? He said,
okay, uncle that he's chosen. And from that moment, zayde had been
hit hardest it was known as Zaman and Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam.
The prophets of Allah who it was Salam
is blessed
with four daughters, and two sons. Remember, I told you Allah
subhanaw taala wanted to Rasool to learn everything that he needed to
learn in order to be able to serve the role as a prophet. We said he
had to have a job. He had to learn responsibility. The Prophet SAW,
Selim had to have a wife so so he learned what it meant to truly
interact with people closely. But not only that, and I want us to
reflect on this no matter where you are in life, I want you to
connect to this moment. The prophets of Allah who today was
setting them first had Xena
when he was 30 years old,
when he was 34, he had a Yeah, the Allahu Anhu Maggioni. And he had
only quit film when he was 37.
You know what that means? Y'all.
A lot of us are waiting for the right moment to make our move.
We're waiting, whether that move, be spiritual, financially,
whatever, we're waiting for the right moment. We're waiting to
finish school till I get these things to like it but I'll call us
Kennedy. He says, Stop waiting for moments of righteousness, because
they'll never come you have to choose righteousness. And the
other thing we have to understand is we don't know when Allah
subhanho wa Taala is going to put something upon us. Let me explain
something, the prophets of Allah who it was sent him. And now I'm
fast forwarding a bit, but we're going to come back because I truly
want you to understand and see the household.
The hadith says
that one time Gabriel, the angel Gabriel Gibreel, he came to the
Prophet sallahu wa salam, and Khadija was in the room.
And Gabrielle said, give her salam from Allah give her a Salam. O
Allah gives her Salam.
And Allah has promised her a house, you're already a house with
no noise in it.
Now, some of us don't get how precious a house with no noise
would be.
But when you had Subhanallah when revelation began, Xena was 10
Wood, okay, yeah, it was only seven years old. Only cause boom,
was three years old. And Fatima was born one year in the first
year of Revelation. That means when the prophets of Allah why
they were sending was going up on the mountain because he needed
solitude, because that's what Allah That means she was expecting
around that same time.
With all of the circumstances, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah gives
him revelation with a seven year old, a 10 year old a seven year
old
a four year old and an A wife that's expecting but it's not
done.
Zaid Bin Haditha. his adopted son is with them. And guess who else
is with them?
Ali? Radi Allahu Han.
Let's talk about this just so we understand who he was some Allah
it was Sunday
when the prophets of Allah when Ali Radi Allahu Anhu was about
eight years old. When I was about eight years old, I will call it
went through a very, very difficult time. There was no money
in the house. So the narration says that the Prophet peace and
blessings be upon him. He's in his early 30s, right when he has a lot
of children. He goes to his uncle Abbas. And he says, Abbas, my
uncle Abu Talib, your brother,
he's running out of money, and he has a lot of children. Why don't
meet and you go, and we lighten his load. What does this mean?
This means that the prophets lie Selim was teaching me and you
something. We have to be individuals that are taking
responsibility for the week of our family in the week of our
community. He goes to Abu Talib, and he says to his uncle, what's
amazing is this is the same uncle that lifted him up in his moment
of weakness. But here's the crazy life will never prepare you to
take care of a parent that used to carry you.
But it will happen.
Life will never prepare you for the moment that you have to be the
crutch and help your parent walk. The same one that taught you how
to walk.
In this moment, the prophets of Allah who it was selling, what
does he do? He goes to Abu Talib and he says Uncle, we can't watch
you struggle like this.
Me and your your your brother, a boss are here. He's going to take
Jaffa and I'm going to take Ali to live with me. And from that
moment, the prophets house sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
not a house of of idleness ready for prophethood it was a house
that was filled with with family and dependents on him. And it was
in that circumstance, that Allah subhanaw taala
when he was 35 years old,
wanted everyone to truly know who he was.
When the prophets of Allah holiday was Saddam was 35 years old.
He has two children, one on the way. I li growing up in his house,
Zayed bin hadith is there. When the prophets of Allah was Saddam
is 35 years old, something happens.
There was a lady that was doing a, you know, to Jimmy, that before to
Jimmy and right during the Sahaba will come and take it from him is
lit over there. The prophesy Saddam was like I've never seen
these type of parties yet. So he said, Yo, can you watch the herd
while I go?
The prophets like I just want to see what it's like.
The Prophet said Allah, they was telling me he said, I started to
go in that that direction. And I sat down for a moment and he said,
I fell asleep.
And I woke up to the sunrise the next day.
He says that was weird. I don't even know how I wasn't even tired.
What happened? He says the next day the party you know those error
parties be gone long. There won't be one day, like five day
weddings. So the next day he says to this buddy, he goes, Yo, I
didn't get a chance to go, can we? Can you watch the herd while I go
this time?
And he says, Yeah, go ahead. He says I started to go. And he says
the same thing. Have I sat down headache, I sat down. And before
you know what I pass out, I wake up the next day, the Prophet SAW
he's not a prophet yet. He goes, nah, this ain't for me.
You know, my lesson from this. I converted when I was 18. And I
think maybe some of y'all could resonate with what I'm about to
say. Before I converted, there were things in my natural fit that
on my natural disposition that I didn't like, but I forced myself
to do them because everybody was doing it. Everybody said it was
supposed to be lit. So I'm at the spotlight, I guess this is lit.
Low key I would rather be home right now reading a book.
Sometimes we keep putting ourselves into fitna if Allah puts
your disposition as such that you don't like those things that is a
blessing from God. Take that. Take that. Understand that Allah is
protecting you from so much. And the prophets Allah He was saying
was being protected. So he's moving these boulders and his
uncle was like, bro, if you just take off your czar, we're all men
here. Take off your Izaak put it over your shoulder, you could
carry the boulders better. He's like, okay, no problem. He starts
to open and he's like, I fell out unconscious.
And I woke up I just tied my izhar on and from that moment
I never uncovered myself in public in front of anyone. Allah was
protecting his modesty is protecting his high ah, these were
things the Prophet was being given because something was about to
come to him and he had to be ready for that moment. What I want us to
understand is there's promises God has for me and you keep yourself
pure forward when those moments come, you're ready to take them.
Protect yourself so you're ready to take those moments when they
come.
The prophets of Allah it was sent him the narration says,
For lemme Bella tilaka, la fille Boone Yan. They're all working
together, all of the tribes are working together to rebuild the
Kaaba.
They're rebuilding this building of monotheism. But they're all
moshtix They're all poly theists. How ironic is that?
But it doesn't work because when they get to the most critical
part, they can't finish the job.
Maybe because of the sheer work.
Maybe because the idolatry, Allah didn't want them to finish that
job.
So what happens? Beautiful, beautiful moment.
They get to the Blackstone, that one corner of the Kaaba
and now everybody's like, Alright, I'm about to put it in a spot
everybody. No, you wait.
And one tribe goes, no, no, we'll put it in another tribals? No, no,
we'll put it in.
And tempers get flared up.
And everyone's like, no, no, no, who's going to do this? It gets to
the point where they bring a bowl of blood, which was a single
symbolic thing of war. And they're all about to put their hands in
it. That means this won't stop until blood is shed. And right
before this moment comes.
We'll eat bin Mahira. He's one of the eldest of the of the of the
group. He goes, this is nonsense, y'all.
I have a solution.
Right now in this moment, I have a solution.
The next one to walk in that door.
Whatever whoever it is, no one knows the next one to walk into
the sanctuary. The next one to walk into the Masjid Al haram will
let that person decide.
Everyone's like, you know what, that seems really fair. Because
you ain't got X ray vision. And you don't know who's out there. So
you know what, let's leave it to that.
The narration is beautiful. They all agree
for us hustle of Assad. Oh homie Isla Baba masjid, they're all
watching. Who will be that next person to walk in?
Yah, yah, yah to draw on your corner how the darker who's going
to enter the Masjid.
For either be assaulted by Al Amin. Picture the moment see the
Prophet in your mind.
The Prophet saw I saw them walking in humbly to the masjid. Want to
finish helping the work we were doing here? Coming back from home.
His house of four children.
Comes back home
walks into the masjid in the moment he walks in. Almost like a
surprise party. You know you walk in
the moment he walks in. And what does everyone say?
Amina Thorndike. Oh, the trustworthy, the truthful.
The truthful that's on everyone in Mecca all of their tongues they
said Assad Allah Nene. But Athena?
Look at look at how
time is so beautiful. In a few years from this moment, this same
man will stand on a mountain and say God has given me a message. Do
you believe in me? And the same people that are saying a thought
and I mean, they're gonna flip the script.
Allah subhanaw taala in this moment, wanted everyone to see the
reality of who he was and not only see but to say it the prophets of
Allah who it was salam he walks in a saw Amin Rosina, we're happy let
them do it.
They explained to the prophets of light a sudden they say ha they'll
Amin rodina hada. Mohamed, this is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. Last week I spoke about a key attribute that we have to
embody within us. This OMA is built in always grow so much that
we have trustworthiness and truthfulness within us. The moment
we treat cheat, we lie and become deceptive. We lose the baraka of
Muhammad sai salaam that's part of this OMA, we lose that.
That's the Amana
the ability to hold a trust.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
They explained to him, here's the situation. And not only was he
trustworthy, but he was intelligent.
didn't.
The scholars they say that Allah wanted to show the people not only
was he trustworthy, but he knew how to do the job.
He says, Hello, Malaya Silva. Bring a bow, bring a blanket,
bring a sheet. They brought a sheet and they put the rock in the
middle of the sheet. And he said, I want every tribe to grab a
corner. They all grabbed the corner. They carried it to the
corner of the Kaaba. And I told you he, it says If God could not
allow the polytheist to complete this building that was built for
monotheism, for the oneness of God. So it's as if they couldn't
do it. Until the prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam comes, they bring
the cloth close to the corner, and with his own blessed hands, the
prophets of Allah do Salam sets the foundation of the Kaaba, not
realizing he's setting the foundation for us. That will come
many years later. He's 35. He doesn't know prophet who is
coming.
Now what else happens? There's one more thing I really want to talk
about tonight. The prophets of Allah today was salam was a what's
the word y'all?
A girl Dad, what's it called?
The prophets of Allah who it was salam was blessed with daughters.
He was blessed with four amazing, beautiful, loving and caring
daughters that were with him in every moment of his life.
What is amazing is that he lost. Xena love the Allahu anha. As we
mentioned, when the Prophet receives revelation, she's 10.
She's there in the toughest moments.
The prophesy centum has little play. Yeah, when revelation comes,
she's six years old.
And when the Prophet received revelation at 40 years old, fomoco
Thumb is three and write about the time of Revelation. Hold up.
You're right when the prophets I sent him was saying to Khadija I
need to go spend time alone. Hadees just like
imagine,
imagine that
Subhan Allah, the prophets of Allah hottie was salam. I think
this is important. Because the prophets of Allah he was telling
me he taught us in a hadith. Mom and Muslim law who fell after
bayonets one any Muslim who has three daughters for you and fit
are they hidden? He spins on them. spins on a splurge is on him.
Oh, if you be getting mad why you keep buying them stuff? I've liked
the profit sighs I look
at my daughter's be like yo, let's go.
The prophets I send them he says whoever spins on them Have you
been ina until they themselves have children? Or they pass away?
In Quinella who hijab Amina, now these daughters will be a hijab
from the fire a barrier between them in the fire of how there was
a woman in the gathering when he said the Hadith there was a woman,
may Allah bless this woman say on me. She goes, What about two
daughters?
And the Prophet says, and two daughters two
and two daughters to the Prophet said Allah I met been humbled,
Rahim Allah, Allah to Allah, the narration I wrote this beautiful
narration down from I've been humbled. I haven't been humbled or
Hema Allah to Allah. Whenever someone was blessed with a
daughter and I say this there may be some some some converse in the
room no Muslim they don't understand the cultures in this
room. The cultures in this room unfortunately, is if you tell your
mother in law, oh, we had another daughter. She'll be like TK next
time inshallah.
As if like you met like you missed the mark or some.
When our Prophet said Allah who it was salam, on the contrary, I met
Ben humble used to say, I'm a bit humble. He used to say, when
anyone was blessed with a daughter, he would say, a Beatle
who and then MBR about Banette he used to say tell him all of the
Gambia
What is it girl that were girl dad's shoe I think about the story
of shoe ape. His daughters are feeding the flock. Musa like Why
y'all doing this? Like what you mean why we our dad is old we
ain't got no other brothers. It's us. I met Ben humble used to say
Bushido who be Anil Ambia la the whole Banette the prophets of
Allah who it was Saddam was blessed with daughters and, and I
felt it's so important to mention this because our cultures have
gone
So far away from what the what the prophets of Allah how they was
salam taught it was the same daughter's that when he was in
such the and someone throws the carcass or the intestines of a
camel on his back to mock him it was his own young five six year
old daughter who's there pulling it off cleaning him
and he's looking at her and he's saying Don't worry baby
will be okay.
Don't worry, honey, we'll be okay.
Don't worry.
We'll be alright. A lot gave him daughters in those moments.
Allah gave them daughters in those moments, because when your heart
is being broken, and the world around you is against you. It's
nothing like a daughter.
Baba, don't worry, you'll be alright.
It'll be alright.
So the prophets of all it was telling him his house. I wanted us
to recognize what his house was like.
35 years old, the prophets of Allah who it was salam has a whole
bunch of young children in his home. But just because he had
children doesn't mean he wasn't able to bring others into his
home. Zaid Bin Haditha taught us a lesson today. Zaid Bin Hadith I
said I'd rather be a slave to Mohammed didn't free in this
world. For me that's a message ah
what does it mean as I mean there's there's there's people
have different levels of of faith. When it says slave to Mohammed, we
follow his sunnah. There's no worship there's following of a of
his pathway as the world chooses different people to follow in like
and subscribe on YouTube and follow their morning routines.
I'd rather be a slave of Muhammad Allah hottie he was.
And with that said, brothers and sisters, what would in his
footsteps be like if we didn't read from the description of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I've chosen to read a
portion of his description that has a deep connection with the
month of Ramadan. And after this, we'll stop. We'll make our DUA and
get ready to break our fast as we read this, I want you to connect
your heart to Him. I want you to see him I want you to think about
the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. And since a lot lots,
are they him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
the description of the prophets generosity.
Jabba Radi Allahu Anh says, Never was the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked for anything. To which he said no,
he was never asked for anything. But he gave it after which he
would return to his provisions for the year that he had saved. And he
would prefer the seeker over himself, often being in need
before the end of the year, if nothing came to him.
Seldom was the messenger of Allah asked to do something for someone
except that he did it for them.
Even Abbas says, listen closely, ah, the Messenger of Allah was the
most generous of people in goodness, anything good he's there
for you. He's there you What do you need?
He was most generous in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel would meet
him and review the Quran.
When the Quran was being recited, his generosity was increased. When
Gabriel would meet him the Messenger of Allah was more
generous with good than a swift breeze they say his his they
describe his generosity as like a breeze because if you're just in
the room, you get hit with it.
That's his generosity.
Oh my God, listen to this narration Omata reported that a
man came to the prophets of Allah who it was salam and asked him for
money.
To which the prophets of Allah they was salam said, I have
nothing but go and purchase something in my name
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, go and purchase it in my name. And
when something comes, I'll pay it back. Upon hearing this, Omar got
angry. Omar was like y'all rasool Allah, I already gave him Subhan
Allah
had to just hit me up.
What did the Prophet say? He goes, he goes Allah I just I just paid
him your absolute Allah. Allah has not imposed upon you what you
cannot do.
The Prophet disliked what Omar said. He just looked away. I
didn't like what you said. He didn't say anything. But he didn't
like what he said.
Another of the unsought of the people of the helpers. He said
Yara suit Allah spend, spend from the wealth of Allah and don't fear
a reduction of wealth. Don't fear that the one who owns the throne
Allah will give you less
When the Prophet heard this, he smiled. He smiled he liked when
people encouraged him to be more generous. He smiled. And then he
looked at the men and he said, This is what I've been commanded
to do Omar to give to give
another narration states. A man once came to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
asking him for something.
And he gave a flock of sheep so large that it filled the valley
between two mountains. The men went back to his people, he said,
y'all better become Muslim.
That man gives like someone who doesn't fear poverty.
He gave the dunya to win people's Arcada
we sell our aka for a little bit of dunya
you feel me? That's literal suicide. allottee was alone.
This man saw generosity. He saw generosity and he said, This gotta
be true. How this man's just gonna give me a flock of sheep. As if he
doesn't care about wealth, unless he's true, unless he's a true
prophet of God.
He's they said, he said, Go Go accept Islam, his whole tribe
came, whole tribe came.
In another narration, I shot all the Allahu Taala on her she says,
and we'll end with this one.
Issue reported that the prophets of Allah they was telling them
would accept gifts and give gifts in return he would take a gift he
would give gifts. A woman once came to the Prophet of Allah with
a with a shawl with a cloak. She said O Messenger of Allah, shall I
give it to you, for you to wear.
Now, the narrator says the Prophet saw I saw them at that time was
actually in need. He needed it. So he took it and put it on. He had
it on for maybe 510 minutes.
When one of the companions saw him wearing this new drip.
He sees the Prophet wearing this new cloak
and he says, ya rasool Allah, this is so beautiful. Now you never say
this is so beautiful to the Prophet sighs sunnah? Because you
know what he's gonna do next.
It's yours. It's yours
He said, Yeah rasool Allah it's so beautiful.
Give it to me to where
the prophets of Allah Assam said Yes.
Hold of ya.
You just got it five minutes ago.
You just got it 10 minutes ago, and your boy comes up like Yo, can
I have that? Day man? Can I break it in at least? Can I least like
crease the joints a little? You get the new J's you just put them
on
Subhanallah in that moment, the Prophet said yes. See, here's the
deal. When you truly believe in the Acela, you're not giving away
you're keeping.
Let me explain that a suicide allottee was selling one day he
there was a goat that was slaughtered. He brought it back to
Aisha, we'll wrap it up so we can make dua, he he brought his goat
back to Aisha and he said I should distribute some of it. So she
starts to distribute it until there was nothing left.
Except the shank or the shin.
He comes back home. And he's like, Yeah, Aisha, can I have some of
the goat? She's like nothing remains except the shin. He's
like, no, no, flip it. Everything remains except the shin. Because
we kept everything we gave away.
Because the aka is real to me and you hear after his real, I sent
that forward.
The prophets of Allah they was telling him the man said, Can I
have it?
The prophets lie Selim he said yes. When the Messenger of Allah
got up because he had to go in the house to change when the prophets
Isom got up. The Sahaba got got angry. The other companions, the
moment the Prophet Musa, now they're on him.
They said, that's not right, bro.
The Prophet just got it.
And you're gonna ask him for it.
Especially when you know he never looked what they say. He never
denies anyone anything. sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
brought guys bra. Sorry.
My bad. Listen, we live in a time when people are so stingy. If you
just embody this aspect of the Sunnah. Do you know how many
people will be coming to accept this lump?
We are at a time when people are grabbing on to everything.
And when you embody the true sunnah
what you need $10 Oh
Hey,
hey good man.
Well, you need a ride, come home.
You need something to drink. You need a coffee.
People like where'd these people come from? We came from the sun.
And we live in the sun. And we're waiting all day for these
opportunities. I was waiting for you to come.
They said to the men and will conclude, they said to the men,
you knew he was gonna give it to you. That's not right. Do you know
what he said? Do you know what he said? He said, Well, law he y'all
don't get angry. I didn't ask it from him. For him to give it to me
to where I just want to be buried and buried in it when I die.
Even he wasn't thinking about doing yeah.
He said I only asked him so I can be buried in it when I die. It
touched his body. I just want to be wrapped in it when they put me
in the grave. They said I met you you on another level.
You had another level we thought you was in the dunya. You enough
had already. You're already there. This was our Habib sallallahu
