Mustafa Khattab – Etiquettes of Scholars 2 2

So we mentioned the story of Hawat Ibn

Jubayr al Sal. He was a new Muslim

in Medina. He was from Medina.

And the reason I'm giving you this example

is the scholars, they should not correct someone

in public. Okay? Okay? If someone did something

unintentional or out of ignorance, they shouldn't correct

this person publicly.

And the prophet sala al salam used to

correct people privately,

and the only

way that we know that he corrected someone

is by the fact that this person after

the death of the pro would come forward

and say,

I did this and this, and the pro

told

me this and this. Nobody else knows.

So the only person himself who come forward

and say, this happened, and the pro did

this and this.

Okay? But otherwise, if this person died without

telling us what happened between him and the

prophet

we wouldn't know.

So Fawaz ibn Jumayil Al Salih, he was

a new Muslim. He accepted Islam recently.

And he went with the prophet

to a camp.

Then he was walking outside the camp, and

he saw some girls, beautiful girls, sitting and

chit chatting and stuff. So he went running

through his tent. He put on his nice

and clothes,

And he said, all of a sudden, I

saw the the prophet, sah alaihi wa sallam,

in front of me.

So the prophet, sah alaihi wa sallam, said,

what are you doing here with the ladies?

He said, the prophet, sah alaihi wa sallam,

was

I have a wild camel.

It runs away all the time, and these

ladies, Pasha, love me about a board and

all that stuff. They are making a rope

for me, so I tie the camel so

it doesn't run away.

He

said a couple of days later, and this

is an authentic kali. He was he said

a couple of days later, I was walking.

Then

I heard the prophet was coming behind me.

People greeting the prophet salaam alaykum. So he

heard the the prophet salaam.

So he started to walk faster so that

the promo sauce element wouldn't catch up with

him.

The promo sauce element started to walk faster

than him and he caught up with him.

So he said,

So the prophet

stopped

until I caught up with him. And he

said,

by the way, what happened to Yirgen? The

wild one you were telling me about. He

said, Allah, I didn't know what to tell

him.

I have nothing except you.

I got all day. Make it

long. So I said,

Then he said,

The prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, will answer,

they will put this harp at ease.

So after he finished, he came to the

prophet

said, oh, prophet allah, the good news is

my camel has accepted this man. It doesn't

run away anymore. So the prophet

smiled and he left me alone.

So he corrected him without humiliating him in

front of the people.

The scholar has to practice what he preaches.

Okay?

If you talk all the time and we

always make this mistake at home, by the

way. Those of us who smoke

and you don't if you tell your kids,

if you smoke, you will kill yourself and

you'll be an idiot.

They will always say, okay, look at this

hypocrite.

If the mother tells her kids not to

back bite,

and still she goes and she back bites

her neighbor neighbor's wife. Okay. The suck up

doesn't know how to cook.

Okay? Now, the kids will look at their

mom and say, okay. She is ahead of

her. We would not bathe it. The same

is also true for the spouse.

If they don't practice what they preach, nobody

will listen to them.

In the story from Abu Ghani, some of

these slaves, they came to him and said,

we want you to give an an emotional

motivational

lecture about freeing the slaves and the virtue

of freeing slaves in Islam.

So he said that Shoaib would do. 3

weeks later, he came again a very

emotional lecture about freeing the slaves

and the people innocently in the Afar Jumah

is going to free their slaves in the

masjid. So

the freeing slaves came to Imam al Hanifa

and said, jazakAllah Khayla,

As color has to be

sincere.

They said, what is your proof? He said

in Surat Al Hash Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

says to Ibrahim alaihis salam and proclaim

or declare to the people and they will

come to you Ijal.

The word Ejal, it has 2 meanings. 1

of them is

and number 2, on foot on foot.

They will come talking.

So they understood the first one which is

the clear meaning and he didn't understand the

second one and he made his cut.

In,

the prophet, the prophet of Sesali of Lintikhadid,

regarding sincerity,

that

on the day of judgement, one of the

first people who would be judged

and punished is someone who learned in

this life and got degrees

and was teaching people and Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala was asking, what did you do with

the knowledge I gave you?

He said, oh, Allah. I went to the

best schools.

I got my PhD, and I was teaching

people,

and I I I did my best. So

Allah subhanahu wa a'ala said, you are alive.

You studied and you got all the degrees,

and you're teaching people so they will say,

oh, he's a scholar, and people will have

respect for you. So that was your only

intention. You didn't do it for me, Satan.

In the

This is in fact, we just saw about

one of the

guys. He appeared out of nowhere in Los

Angeles, California. I read it in the papers

back in 2009.

He was sleeping in the machine making and

together and all that stuff, and people trusted

them him with their lives.

So Ashtariel Al Fitr, he gave to them

and said and said, insha Allah,

in a month and half, Ayl Abu Bakr

is coming. You have to buy udaya. And

you know, them guys who were buying udaya

from them, they were thieves

charging you double the price, giving you bad

quality of meat. They're giving you all cheap

and goats. You cook them for 2 or

3 days, they never cook.

The meat is like

the the the tire in your car.

No matter how much you buy it or

you you cook it, it doesn't cook. These

are tools. Okay?

So he collected the money from that masjid,

and of course, his reputation

spread to other Masali. So thousands of people

trusted him with the money. They paid $250

for every goat or sheep.

The day of it came and the people

started to look for mister x,

So he was notorious. He was the biggest

chief in town.

In conclusion, Shabaab will talk only about

from the people and from Allah

He has to have this sense.

The prophet

says that shame, the sense of shame,

is a part or a branch of iman.

I conclude with this in the story of

al Qadabi. Al Qadabi is one of the

biggest scholars of this land that you probably

never heard of.

Okay?

Only with scholars of Adi, they know this

person, al Qadabi.

In his youth years,

he was a drunkard,

a womanizer.

He was on drugs,

smoking weed, and crack, and dope, and all

that stuff.

Okay?

And one day, he was sitting in front

of his house, drinking,

and he had a small knife in his

hand. All of a sudden, he saw this

man

with a donkey.

He didn't know this guy,

and he saw like,

hundreds of people walking in front of the

donkey, behind the donkey, pulling the donkey, and

almost they they would carry the shape. This

man on the donkey.

So

He said, what what Shar? What does this

guy do? Why are these people walking around

like this?

They said that this is the most knowledgeable

person of hadith on earth. He is the

scholar of this time when it comes to

hadith.

And it's a shame if someone at that

time didn't know Shoaib in the Hajjesh. He

was number 1 in hadith. And this is

like I said,

like someone asking someone in the Succar,

field

So the people around

this scholar, Sharpen, they said,

the people that traveled to him

tens and hundreds of miles to come to

sit under his feet and take hadith from

him, and you are coming to him with

a rip close

like bad people

and with a wide people in one hand

and a knife with another, and you are

asking him to tell hadith from the prophet

what's wrong with you?

So he said, wallahi, if he doesn't mean

one hadith. If he doesn't tell me one

hadith right now, I'm gonna kill him.

So,

Imam Shorba was afraid for his life. And

I always say

that the highest score of bravery sometimes is

to be a coward.

And sometimes the most eloquent thing you can

say

is silence to be quiet. And those who

are married, they know what I'm talking about.

Okay? If you want to be a hero

for a couple of minutes and say everything

you want, than to be a man who

delayed. After 2 hours, then say whatever you

want.

Think of the

consequences.

So he gave him the hadith of the

prophet, he said,

Mansur

told me

his Sheikh.

That

the prophet

said, if you are not ashamed, if you

don't have a sense of shame from Allah

and from the people,

do whatever you want.

So

Qa'anabi said, Allah, he he hit me in

the heart when he said those words. And

I started to think,

did he mean that I don't have shame

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?

Then he went home. He broke all the

wine glasses, and he told his mom, when

my friends come, told him, I'm not your

friend anymore. He shouted to

this man, Qad Abi, later became the teacher,

the imam of imam

of imam a Muslim and imam Qadhi. He

is the teacher. If you get

the books of Bukhari and the books of

Muslims, they will tell you the introduction

that we studied the

the
