So when you are humble,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

you humble yourself to people, you respect them,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

you treat them in a nice way, and

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

you don't look down upon them. K? This

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

is the simple definition

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

of the thought.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

So if you would like to be arrogant

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

with faith and to look down upon them,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

look down upon them because something that you

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

created for yourself, not because something Allah gave

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

you.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

So for example, if you would like to

00:01:57 --> 00:01:57

be

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

arrogant with people because of your health, this

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

is something that Allah gave you. It is

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

not because of you.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

If you want to be arrogant with people

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

because of,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

because you're handsome,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

you have nothing to do with this. It's

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

Allah who gave it to you. He can

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

make you ugly and he can turn you

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

into a monkey in a second. Okay?

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

And if you wanna be arrogant with people

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

because of your knowledge, this is something that

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

Allah gave you. Allah says it in the

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

Quran that you came out of the wounds

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

of your mother knowing nothing.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

Then he gave you hearing and sight and

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

gave you brains to think with and he

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

bestowed knowledge upon you.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

Little do you think.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

So this is what you do.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

One day, the prophet went to the market

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

to buy food and Abu Bakr the lamb

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

was with him. So the the prophet

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

told the man as he was weighing the

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

food, they used to put food on one

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

scale and a piece of iron and another

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

like a scale on the other. So the

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

prophet told

00:03:35 --> 00:03:35

the man,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

wait and be just.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

Be fair when you wait.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

So Shoaib Alaihi Salam, the prophet came to

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

the people to warn them against

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

Yahi,

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

cheating people when they wait. You read this

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

in in many places in the Quran, and

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

there's surah al Mustafafim that talks about this.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

When you wait

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

to someone,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

you have to be fair with them. And

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

I've seen this a lot in in some

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

places when they weigh, they put a piece

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

of iron on the other side.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

So it is not one kalo, it's 700

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

grams. If you take it and weigh it

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

home, it's 700 grams. Alert and they know

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

this, okay, they give you one cable, but

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

the quality is not good. The apples on

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

the top are very nice, and the apples

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

at the bottom, they have worms running through

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

them. This is what they do,

00:05:33 --> 00:05:33

bad quality.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

So when the prophet

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

told the man, wait and be just and

00:07:15 --> 00:07:15

fair,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

the man was, kind of offended.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

Like, he felt like the prophet was

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

scratching his dignity because he told him to

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

be fair. He said, no one ever told

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

me to be fair before, and he didn't

00:07:28 --> 00:07:28

know the prophet.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

So Abu Bakr said,

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

you know, don't you know the prophet So

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

the man, you know, was surprised because he

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

didn't see the prophet

00:07:39 --> 00:07:39

before.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

So he wanted to kiss the hands of

00:07:42 --> 00:07:42

the prophet

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

so the prophet

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

that filled out because of the the wind.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

So they collected some dates in their clothes.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

So when Muhammad Sattal Radu Ghanu came out

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

with his staff or his cane and he

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

was very charismatic

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

and honorable, so when they saw him they

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

they flew away and they threw all the

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

dates on the ground.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

What if they stood up? So Omar Khattab

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

Radha Manu came to him and said, what

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

is this? He said, I found it in

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

the road because of the wind. Okay?

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

I'm not a thief. I'm not a toob.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

Okay? So

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

So Umar Khattar said, okay. Go home. No

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

problem. So he said, the kids threw away

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

all the dates when they saw it. So

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

if I wanna go home,

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

they will stop me on the way and

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

take all the dates from me.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

So Umar Khattab

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

said, don't worry. He was a Khalif, and

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

he walked him all the way to his

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

house, to his family.
