00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			So last night, in Taghavruk, we spoke about
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			the generosity of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			sallam.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			And today, briefly tonight, we'll be talking also
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			about the generosity of the companions of the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			The Sahaba of the companions of the prophet
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			they
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			knew that generosity
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			does not mean
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			necessarily mean that you give when you are
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			rich.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			They knew that the highest form of generosity
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			is you when you give why you don't
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			have that much.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			They knew that for every dollar you give
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			for Sabeel Ilah, for the sake of Allah
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you will give back 700
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and Allah gives
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			more to whom he wants. As Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Wa Ta'ala says in Surat Al Baqarah.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			So the story for today
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			comes from Jabal Nabilah, the companion of the
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and the Hadith
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			is mentioned in Bukhari and Muslim.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:10
			Very
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			authentic. So he said
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			that one day he told his wife during
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			the battle of Al Kandaf, the trench, that
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			the Prophet SAW. And his companions, they have
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			been working digging the trench for days, and
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			they didn't eat anything.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			So what do you have here in the
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			house? She said, a bunch of barley, shayim,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			and a goat, a lot of skinny goat.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			So he said, grind
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			the barley
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			and slaughter the goat and cut it, and
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			I'll go and buy the Prophet
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			So she said, okay,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			you know that we have limited food.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			Invite the Prophet SAW. And 5, 6, after
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			10 of his companions, so they eat the
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			food, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			no problem. So don't disgrace us in front
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			of the companions
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			because we don't have enough food for everyone.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			So Jabal went to the prophet and he
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			whispered in his ears. And he said, oh,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:01
			Prophetullah,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			we have some,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			you know, bread in the house and also
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			some meat. We want to invite you and
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			a couple of sahaba, alhamdulillah.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			So the prophet
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			smiled and said, Jazabullah Khan,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			oh everyone, listen up.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			Your brother Jabir invited you to to his
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			house, and there were a 1,000 of them.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			Jabal Nablassayibullah
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			there were a 1,000 of them. So they
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			went to the house on the Prophet salas
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			the house of Jabal, and on the way
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			Jabal says, I wanted the earth to open
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			up and swallow me. I didn't know how
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			we can feed all these people.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			By the time he went home, his wife
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			was astonished.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			Come on, man. I told you, 10 people,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			you're bringing a 1,000? He said, Wallahi, I
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			told the Prophet what can I do? You
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			know, he invited them.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			So the prophet sahaja salam put his hands
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			in the dough,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			and
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:57
			in
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			the meat in the container of the meat,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			and he made dua, and it was multiplied
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			instantly.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			And Jabez said, will Allah hinder a 1,000
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			people over there, and every time they finish
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			the bowl or the, the container of the
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			meat or the bread, it was filled up
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			again. It was filled up again until all
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			of them ate, and they left and to
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			they ate to their fullest,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			and they played and the bowl were full,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			the container.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			By the mercy and by the barakah of
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			the Prophet SAW Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:55
			Alone.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			So we conclude with this story, and the
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			opposite happens in this story. Someone was rich,
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			but stingy, cheap.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			This guy
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			was from a city in Egypt. I'm Egyptian
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			myself, but I'm not a pharaoh because pharaohs
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			are usually tall.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			Anyway, anyway, so he wanted to change the
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			stereotypes about himself being stingy. So he invited
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			1 person from the village, and he said,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			come over,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			eat lunch dinner with me. So this man,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			the guest on the way, after salatu malim,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			he invited the whole masjid
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			to the house of this chief guy.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			So on the way he gave him a
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			call and said, okay, I'm on the way.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			He said, welcome inshallah, the food is ready,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			everything, you know, you know.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			So when he reached the house, he knocked
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			on the door. So the host looked from
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			the window, the blinders,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			and he saw the
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			everybody's in front of the house, he was
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			scared, he didn't open the house.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			So the guest kept on knocking on the
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			door,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			and he wouldn't open.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			And he said, Subhanallah, I know you are
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			inside, I called you 10 seconds ago. Open
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			up. He said
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			he pretended like he didn't hear it. He
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			said, Brother,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			answer my colleague. Allah
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			spoke to Musa alaihis salam.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			So the the host said when Allah spoke
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			to Musa, Musa was by himself.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			He didn't invite the all of the children
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			of Israel with him.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			Come on, man. Come by yourself.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			So the question for
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			yes, last night,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			if a widow lady has children and they
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			have enough money to give zakah, should she
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			give the zakah out or keep the money
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			for the kids, the orphans? And the answer
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			is she has to give the zakah.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			The money does not decrease by giving the
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			zakat. It will increase as the Prophet SAW
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			says in Hadith. So I'll
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			The winner for today is sister Noor Azzaki.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			Anyone to take their word on her behalf?
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			Sister Noor al Zaki? Okay.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			Gone.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			Tayyid, the question for today, someone
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			has to give zakat. They know he knows
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			that he has to give $10,000 in zakah.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			This is the zakah of his money. But
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			he doesn't have the kind of money now.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			All the money is in the bank, he
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			couldn't take it out. Can he give the
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			zakah by installments?
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:21
			$300,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:22
			$500
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			every month over a year? If you know
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			the answer, sha Allah imir me before tomorrow.
