Mustafa Khattab – Arrogance 2

So today, InshaAllah, we'll continue talking about humility

of the Sahaba of Allahu

Anubhayim. And we spoke about the difference

And his brother, Mokabe?

But Mokabe is not here today.

Sorry.

So this is an electronic Quran,

to help them with the tawheed and tarsil.

So one of the stories reported from Umar

ibn Khattab radiAllahu Anhu,

one day he called people to come to

Salaat and of course if it was time

for the 5 prayers, the event would be

made. Allahu Akbar, and 2 people will come.

But if it was something,

serious or there was a problem or there

was an enemy attacking the Muslim in the

state in Madinah, at the time of the

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, they used to

say, Assalatujamiyah,

come to the salah.

So, Omar Ibn Khattab radiAllahu said did the

same thing. He called for the prayer and

it is not it was not the time

for Salaam, and people came running to the

masjid,

terrified.

So, Omar Ibn Khattab radiAllahu

ascended the member and he started to give

a talk

and he said,

let all of you know that when I

was young, I used to be a shepherd,

take care of some goats to my aunts,

and they used to give me a handful

of barley or wheat.

And if you don't know this, now you

know.

Salaam Alaikum and he left.

So Ali ibn Abi Talib radiAllahu

said, you know, you humiliated yourself, why did

you do this? So Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu

said, I was sitting,

then I remembered now I'm the Khalifa of

the Muslimeel,

and people come to me, delegations come, so

I feel like I'm something.

So I I wanted people to know that

I'm a humble man, I came from humble

origins, and I wanted to humble myself in

front of the people. So this is what

he did.

Whenever he went to the market and he

was the Khalifa,

he used to buy, you know, fruits, vegetables,

and stuff

for his children. And once his Sahaba offered

to carry the load

on his behalf, he used to refuse and

say that the father of the children has

to carry their food on his shoulder, not

other people. Okay? So I have to carry

it myself.

So in this authentic Hadith, and we're gonna

conclude with this Hadith in the short story,

the Prophet SAW Hassan defines

arrogance.

So the Prophet SAW Hassan says, a person

with an atom's weight of arrogance kib will

never go to Jannah. So one of the

sahabas said, oh prophet of Allah,

we like to, to wear nice clothes, beautiful

clothes, and beautiful shoes, and to look nice.

So the prophet says, this is not kibb,

this is not Arabs.

Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,

Allah is beautiful, and he loves everything that

is beautiful. Arrogance is to look down upon

people and despise them and to reject the

truth.

So we grew up with this mentality back

home that if there is a disagreement between

an old man and a young man or

a youth,

then the truth must have must be with

the old man because he's old. The young

one has to be at fault at all

times. This is the mentality back

home.

Also, this is how people,

especially in some places back home, they treat

different people according to their social status in

the society. If you are rich, like say

for example, there's a police officer and there's

a car accident.

2 cars are involved in the accident.

1 of them is rich or he is,

you know, he's something in the society and

the other guy is poor.

So the poor guy is always at fault

even if he is the one who is

dead.

And he was killed by the other guy,

so he must be at fault because rich

people and, you know,

big people are not at fault at all.

So this is the mentality.

The people of Mecca did the same thing

with the prophet SAW. They rejected the Quran

just because the prophet SAW came from humble

origins, humble backgrounds. And they said, as the

Quran reported,

if only this Quran was revealed to a

rich man,

what difference does it make if it was

given to a rich man or a poor

man? The truth is the truth.

So we conclude with this story.

Jabalat al Hayez al Al Aham was a

prince in Damascus in in Syria before Islam

under the Romans. So when he saw the

picture of Islam and the the Romans were

losing to the Muslim state, so he accepted

Islam. And he visited Omar and Khattar Adhilah

in Madinah,

and he went for Omar while he was

making tawaf.

A person stepped on his clothes.

So he felt so mad, he slapped him

on the face and he broke his nose.

So they came to Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu

anhu

said,

compensate

him for the damage he did to his

nose

or he will retaliate. He will break your

nose. So he said, I'm a prince,

and he is like a peasant. He is,

you know, somebody from the street.

Do you do you do you treat me

as his equal?

So he said, no. You did this to

him. There's no prince. There's no king and

peasant in Islam. You are all equal before

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And plus, I was

very nice to him. I should have killed

him. I just broke his nose.

The only reason I didn't kill him be

it was because we were allowed in the

cab. You know, I didn't want blood to

be all over the place. You know, I

I was very nice to him. So I'm

in Qatar Iran. He either

compensate him, give him money, or retaliation

will break your nose. So I said, okay.

Let me think about it.

Very late at night, he left Madinah, and

he went to the Romans, and he left

Islam completely. And he died as a kafir

because of his arrogance. He didn't like the

Islamic concept of

equality.
