So last night, in Taghavruk, we spoke about
the generosity of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
And today, briefly tonight, we'll be talking also
about the generosity of the companions of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
The Sahaba of the companions of the prophet
they
knew that generosity
does not mean
necessarily mean that you give when you are
rich.
They knew that the highest form of generosity
is you when you give why you don't
have that much.
They knew that for every dollar you give
for Sabeel Ilah, for the sake of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you will give back 700
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and Allah gives
more to whom he wants. As Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala says in Surat Al Baqarah.
So the story for today
comes from Jabal Nabilah, the companion of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and the Hadith
is mentioned in Bukhari and Muslim.
Very
authentic. So he said
that one day he told his wife during
the battle of Al Kandaf, the trench, that
the Prophet SAW. And his companions, they have
been working digging the trench for days, and
they didn't eat anything.
So what do you have here in the
house? She said, a bunch of barley, shayim,
and a goat, a lot of skinny goat.
So he said, grind
the barley
and slaughter the goat and cut it, and
I'll go and buy the Prophet
So she said, okay,
you know that we have limited food.
Invite the Prophet SAW. And 5, 6, after
10 of his companions, so they eat the
food, Alhamdulillah,
no problem. So don't disgrace us in front
of the companions
because we don't have enough food for everyone.
So Jabal went to the prophet and he
whispered in his ears. And he said, oh,
Prophetullah,
we have some,
you know, bread in the house and also
some meat. We want to invite you and
a couple of sahaba, alhamdulillah.
So the prophet
smiled and said, Jazabullah Khan,
oh everyone, listen up.
Your brother Jabir invited you to to his
house, and there were a 1,000 of them.
Jabal Nablassayibullah
there were a 1,000 of them. So they
went to the house on the Prophet salas
the house of Jabal, and on the way
Jabal says, I wanted the earth to open
up and swallow me. I didn't know how
we can feed all these people.
By the time he went home, his wife
was astonished.
Come on, man. I told you, 10 people,
you're bringing a 1,000? He said, Wallahi, I
told the Prophet what can I do? You
know, he invited them.
So the prophet sahaja salam put his hands
in the dough,
and
in
the meat in the container of the meat,
and he made dua, and it was multiplied
instantly.
And Jabez said, will Allah hinder a 1,000
people over there, and every time they finish
the bowl or the, the container of the
meat or the bread, it was filled up
again. It was filled up again until all
of them ate, and they left and to
they ate to their fullest,
and they played and the bowl were full,
the container.
By the mercy and by the barakah of
the Prophet SAW Alaihi Wasallam.
Alone.
So we conclude with this story, and the
opposite happens in this story. Someone was rich,
but stingy, cheap.
This guy
was from a city in Egypt. I'm Egyptian
myself, but I'm not a pharaoh because pharaohs
are usually tall.
Anyway, anyway, so he wanted to change the
stereotypes about himself being stingy. So he invited
1 person from the village, and he said,
come over,
eat lunch dinner with me. So this man,
the guest on the way, after salatu malim,
he invited the whole masjid
to the house of this chief guy.
So on the way he gave him a
call and said, okay, I'm on the way.
He said, welcome inshallah, the food is ready,
everything, you know, you know.
So when he reached the house, he knocked
on the door. So the host looked from
the window, the blinders,
and he saw the
everybody's in front of the house, he was
scared, he didn't open the house.
So the guest kept on knocking on the
door,
and he wouldn't open.
And he said, Subhanallah, I know you are
inside, I called you 10 seconds ago. Open
up. He said
he pretended like he didn't hear it. He
said, Brother,
answer my colleague. Allah
spoke to Musa alaihis salam.
So the the host said when Allah spoke
to Musa, Musa was by himself.
He didn't invite the all of the children
of Israel with him.
Come on, man. Come by yourself.
So the question for
yes, last night,
if a widow lady has children and they
have enough money to give zakah, should she
give the zakah out or keep the money
for the kids, the orphans? And the answer
is she has to give the zakah.
The money does not decrease by giving the
zakat. It will increase as the Prophet SAW
Alaihi Wasallam
says in Hadith. So I'll
The winner for today is sister Noor Azzaki.
Anyone to take their word on her behalf?
Sister Noor al Zaki? Okay.
Gone.
Tayyid, the question for today, someone
has to give zakat. They know he knows
that he has to give $10,000 in zakah.
This is the zakah of his money. But
he doesn't have the kind of money now.
All the money is in the bank, he
couldn't take it out. Can he give the
zakah by installments?
$300,
$500
every month over a year? If you know
the answer, sha Allah imir me before tomorrow.
