Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 27 A Good Word II Ramadan 2012

A nice way.

Most people don't like to be correct. So

when you correct them, make sure you pick

your words, you talk to them with knowledge

and wisdom, and you talk to them in

private.

So they tell the story of a old

man who was going to the masjid, not

al Rashid, but by the Masali.

And he saw 2

youth standing in front of the masjid chanting

and laughing. So he said, why don't you

don't please go inside and pray? And the

word donkey is a very harsh word in

Arabic. It's an insult.

So one of them said, you know what?

We are not praying today.

Say why? He said because donkeys don't pray.

They break. And there's a difference in English

between pray and break.

Pray, yali sabi, break, yali sabi,

If you look at the sunnah of the

prophet,

how he corrected the sahab. I'm gonna give

you 2 authentic hadith that show you how

nice the prophet

and how wise he was when he made

naseeh to the people. He didn't offend them.

He spoke to them in a nice way

with Hikma, and this is why they accepted

from him.

He was praying

behind the prophet,

say, for example, salah to Asr.

And the Sahabi who was standing next to

him sneezed in the salah.

So he said, Arabic, thinking that it's okay

to talk in the salah. He didn't know

the ruling.

Okay. A few seconds later, yahaamullah.

Because the Sahabi didn't answer him back and

say yahaamullah salaam alaikum, so he repeated yahaamullah

several times.

So the Sahaba, the people in the salah,

they started to stare at him, and they

were mad at him. How dare you talk

in the salah behind the prophet, sasil, salah?

So he said to them, why are you

looking to me like this?

So when the and they started to, you

know,

hit their thighs to show objection to what

he was doing. And after the salah, they

gave him that look that they were mad

at him. So the prophet

told him, please come here. The salah is

made to recite Quran and say shazmir and

not to speak

like regular speech.

So this Sahabi was touched by the kindness

of the prophet

and said, by Allah, I have never seen

a teacher build in the prophet

before I ever after him. He gave me

nasihah with a smile, and he was very

nice to me.

So he traveled with the prophet

So while they were in the camp outside

Madinah,

he went outside by himself for a walk.

So he saw some ladies

sitting together and talking.

So he ran back

very quick, dug back to his tent, and

he brought his nicest clothes, and he came

back, and he sat with him, and he

started to chitchat with him, and crack jokes.

And

all of a sudden, he said, the prophet

came and he saw me sitting with the

ladies.

So the prophet salaam said,

what are you doing with the ladies?

So I said he said the prophet salaam

was so honorable. He was so charismatic. I

I didn't know what to say. But the

first thing that came to my head was

I said, oh, prophetullah,

I have a rebellious

wild camel that always runs away. And these

ladies, basha'Allah, may Allah you allahu alaihi jalapenosalap

salatu, they are making a rope for me

so I find my camel so it doesn't

run away. And he said, by Allah,

I knew

that the Prophet

knew that I was a light,

but He smiled and He left. And the

hadith is in the tabaran.

So He said a few days later, I

was in Madinah after we returned. I was

walking and I saw the prophet walking in

front of me. So I slowed down.

The prophet

stopped and he looked at me and said,

come come here come here. What happened to

your neighbor?

He said, I didn't know what to tell

him. He said, a couple of days later,

I was walking, and then I heard the

prophet was coming behind me. The people started

to say, assalamu alaikum, Rasulullah. So I knew

it was him. I started to walk fast.

The prophet

walked faster than me, and he caught up

with me and said, salaam alaykum. What happened

to your family?

I said, I didn't know what to tell

him.

A few days later, he said, I went

to the masjid and I started to pray

to her. As soon as the khayat al

masjid. The prophet

came and sat next to me. When I

saw him waiting for me, I started to

recite the longest surah in the book.

So the button. So the prophet came close

to me and said,

I'm waiting for you and I have all

day long. I ain't going nowhere.

Okay. I'm I'm waiting for you here. So

he said, bye. I will fill the prophet

salallahu alayhi wa sallam answered that. He put

his heart at ease and he will leave

me alone. So after he finished, he came

to the prophet, sasalallahu alaihi wa sallam said,

assalamu alaikumullah. What happened to your wild camel?

He said, oh, prophet, Allah. The good news

is my camel accepted Islam. It's not running

away anymore. Alhamdulillah.

So the prophet

smiled and he made dua

So the Quran always talks about the creation

of the heavens and earth in 6 days.

Only in the Surah al Surat from verses

12 to 19, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said

that He created the earth in 2 days,

then he created vegetation and animals and everything

in 4 days, so that's 6, and he

created the heavens in 2 days, 2, 4,

2, that's 8. So how do you explain

this? If you know the answer, you may

be before tomorrow, Asa. See, I see.
