Today inshallah Allah is gonna give a short talk
because Dr. Yasser is traveling. So today we're going to talk about
a characteristic
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam not only disliked but
despised.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in a hadith that
this characteristic cannot coexist
along with iman in the heart of the believer.
It cannot coexist.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam day and night will seek
refuge from Allah from this characteristic.
What is this characteristic?
Albon stinginess. stinginess is one of the worst characteristics
that a person can have.
stinginess is the characteristic the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, cannot coexist in the heart of a Muslim
with a man like a man and stinginess cannot exist together
and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would say in a
day and night Allahumma Imia are becoming an HMI Wellhausen woman.
alloggio Alcacer women are Gibney waldvogel he would seek refuge in
Allah from what? From cowardice. And from what? From misery
miserliness being stingy, or stinginess,
the top level of the stinginess, and we're going to talk about a
few types of insha Allah and give some examples.
The top most is a shoe, a shoe is when a person is stingy on their
own self, not others, but their own self. They have what they they
have enough to spend on themselves, but they choose to not
give themselves and their own families, except what is the
minimum.
Except what is the minimum. This is the worst type it's called
shoe.
And the short here, when we say short, it is a complex that is in
the mind of a person. Why is it so bad? Why is it so evil? Some of us
can, like okay, I don't want to spend my money. What's the big
deal? No, the big deal is that it almost negates telecoil from the
heart. Because a person who was so stingy, cannot truly have reliance
on Allah subhanaw taala. Because if they did have reliance, then
they would give a know that the one who gave them first is going
to give them again. But the one who has this shirt in them, it's
as if they are saying, No, Allah will not give me again. So I don't
want to give from what I have.
Do you see the and this is where this is how it becomes so so bad,
and so evil. And this is how it cannot coexist with iman and faith
in the heart of a Muslim.
The worst type of stinginess is the stinginess of what what do you
bet from things that are funded like what like Zika prison does
not want to give Zika when they come and give Zika is heavy on
them.
It's only two and a half percent of the wealth that is above the
nisab the specific amount that stayed with you for a whole year.
And it's two and a half percent. But even that comes out heavily.
And they try to find loopholes and ways out of even that. This is the
first level of stinginess, another level of stinginess, is what
stinginess from the Mr. Hubbard things that are extra
supplementary, so that person does not give sadaqa. Right? Does not.
does want to give sadaqa but it can it does. It's not only
specific 12 The Prophets Allah Allah wa sallam said in a hadith,
he said, Ebola nurse Mundaka Salam, the most stingy of people
is the one who doesn't even give salam.
The one who doesn't even give salam you know, sometimes you see
somebody walking next to him walking by and like, hey, salaam
alaikum. It's not like they should start with salah. But not only
that, some people don't even give salam back. They just look at it
like, you know, like pork.
At least give salam back that is the most stingy act the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said right? And the prophets I send
them said in a hadith as well. Mankind I mean Koyomi of Allahu
Allah mill acid for you cream.
Well waiver. If you believe in Allah and the hereafter, then be
generous to your guests. Some people Subhanallah the guest comes
over, nothing, not even water. And some people water but look at the
look at the stories. I was preparing for the status and the
story think it's a true story. A man, a man. He wanted to buy, you
know, a guest came and this guest was very dear to him coming from
out of town
He said to his son looks on, here's some money. I want you to
go and get
a quarter kilo of meat for my guest quarter cube. That's, you
know, long was that, you know, that's enough quarter kilo. So the
sun goes and he said, Look, give me a quarter kilo of meat and I
want good meat. The Butcher told him I'll give you me. That's so
good and so tender. It's as if it's butter. So the kid obviously
he's the son of his own father, right apples don't fall far from
the tree. What does he do?
He says if the meat is like butter, I might as well buy
butter. It's cheaper.
So I look at this flawed logic. So he goes and he buys butter from
the bucket tells them hey, can you give me the best butter you have?
Because we have a guest? It's okay, I'll give you butter that's
so pure. It's as if it's water.
We have water in the house. Why should I get butter in that case?
So he goes home. He goes home and he tells his father he comes empty
handed he's like that. I can't empty handed he said why? He said
you know he told him the story the butcher and then the butter and
and then you know the butter is like water so I came back we have
water. He's like you're so wise my son. You're just like your father.
But you know what? You're still not quite like me. He said why? He
said because look, you you used your shoes to go run to the
butcher shop so you know some of your shoe is gone now because
because of the running around he said live our look. I took the
guests shoes and I wanted to
show it's so sad you know some people are like this alongside
they live like this no telecoil no reliance Nestle Allah Allah vo
Salam, they don't give salam they don't give. You know, they don't
give smiles. The prophets I send them said smiling is what? Sadaqa.
So what is the make frowning?
Frowning is the opposite of that. You were going around not giving
so the cuddle to anybody? Yucky smile? No, I don't want to smile.
Why are you cheeping like that so stingy. At least you can put
happiness in the heart of somebody. Right? At least you can
put happiness. Sometimes people are very hard to use. They they
want what they have, what they possess, like they're eating, you
know, you go to somebody and you know he's eating in a restaurant.
And you don't want to invite them over. Right? They happen to one of
the guys, one of the people that are known in the history of Islam,
I will ask what do any of us want to do Ali? Who knows of last one?
The least known
person in the history of Islam. He's one of the greatest
grammar scholars in the history of the auto is one. But
unfortunately, he was known for his stinginess. It's just
something a characteristic that happened to be in him although he
was a linguist. He was a master in Arabic. Right? He did grammar. He
was one of the people the first who did the the NA NA Quran, the
fat hubba Maka Surah, sukoon. All that. But he was stingy. So one
day a man came to Him out of their bed when he came up to him. When
the Arabi was looking and, you know, he came close to us what was
eating? And he looked at him and he's like, Man, this guy piqued my
food.
You know, my food is good. I don't want to give him any of it. So
Robbie said, Hey, how you doing?
Good. So the man tried to start conversation. He said, I saw your
family when I was coming here. He's like, Yeah, they were on your
way.
Cuz, you know, he wanted to try to find something, you know, a reason
for us what to invite him to eat. He said, You know, I saw your
family on your way up on us what said, okay, yeah, they were on
your way. You know, your wife was pregnant is like, yeah, that's how
I left her. And, you know, she gave birth. He said, of course,
any pregnant woman is going to eventually give birth.
You know, she had twin boys, Mashallah. He said, Yeah, you
know, that's how her parents they gave birth to twin boys. So, you
know, she's just like her mother.
He said, one of them died, said SubhanAllah. You know, it's, it's
the cada, you know that Allah subhanaw taala took one of them.
He said No, the other one died. He's like, of course, out of
sadness, from the first dying, said, you know, and then the wife
died. She said, of course, how can she lived with the pain of losing
two children?
And he said, I like your food. He said, I like it, too. That's why I
ate all of it.
They didn't want to give him any of it. It's a famous story of
Ebola. So it's unfortunate like some people even are stingy with
what Allah subhanaw taala provided them the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam. He was a commonness, the most generous of people and
the prophets I send them would be very clear with that and he didn't
under any circumstance.
didn't want to be known as someone that stingy on the day on the day
of her name after the Battle of her name a lot of people who are
recent in Islam, they just entered Islam from Mecca. They want in the
Battle of her name. And after the Battle of her name, all the war
booty came, they went around the prophets I seldom gathered around
him and started to pull and shove when they want SubhanAllah. The
prophesizing was traveling until somebody took his ID that you
know, his his cloak, someone took it in rent.
Then the prophets I seldom stood up and he said, oh, people
returned to me my cloak for Wallah. Even if my body wasn't
parts, I would give it away and you will not find me to be a
stingy man. Give me back my cloak, you will not find me to be a
stingy man. If the only thing I had was my body to give, I would
have gave it in parts. And you will not find me to be stingy. The
prophets I send them was very keen on not being found to be that way.
Subhan Allah so no, we have to work not only
be generous, it starts with having token having reliance. And it
starts with in hand with the hilum you know, and all hookers, but the
Hulk. When you want to get a characteristic or attribute and
you want to learn it, what do you do you practice it, practice
generosity around your family and teach it to your kids, teach it to
your families, let those around you know, so we're not like this
father who sent his kid to buy meat, or like a Walesa who don't
want to invite someone to his food. No, let's do the opposite.
And let's give insha Allah to Allah and not be known for this
character. For this characteristic, we ask Allah
subhanaw taala to make us generous. We ask Allah to bless us
with generosity to make us from those who give for his sake, we
seek refuge in Allah from miserliness and from stinginess
and from cowardice. We seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala from these
negative and evil attributes, I mean, you're obliged me and Lama
