So when you are humble,
you humble yourself to people, you respect them,
you treat them in a nice way, and
you don't look down upon them. K? This
is the simple definition
of the thought.
So if you would like to be arrogant
with faith and to look down upon them,
look down upon them because something that you
created for yourself, not because something Allah gave
you.
So for example, if you would like to
be
arrogant with people because of your health, this
is something that Allah gave you. It is
not because of you.
If you want to be arrogant with people
because of,
because you're handsome,
you have nothing to do with this. It's
Allah who gave it to you. He can
make you ugly and he can turn you
into a monkey in a second. Okay?
And if you wanna be arrogant with people
because of your knowledge, this is something that
Allah gave you. Allah says it in the
Quran that you came out of the wounds
of your mother knowing nothing.
Then he gave you hearing and sight and
gave you brains to think with and he
bestowed knowledge upon you.
Little do you think.
So this is what you do.
One day, the prophet went to the market
to buy food and Abu Bakr the lamb
was with him. So the the prophet
told the man as he was weighing the
food, they used to put food on one
scale and a piece of iron and another
like a scale on the other. So the
prophet told
the man,
wait and be just.
Be fair when you wait.
So Shoaib Alaihi Salam, the prophet came to
the people to warn them against
Yahi,
cheating people when they wait. You read this
in in many places in the Quran, and
there's surah al Mustafafim that talks about this.
When you wait
to someone,
you have to be fair with them. And
I've seen this a lot in in some
places when they weigh, they put a piece
of iron on the other side.
So it is not one kalo, it's 700
grams. If you take it and weigh it
home, it's 700 grams. Alert and they know
this, okay, they give you one cable, but
the quality is not good. The apples on
the top are very nice, and the apples
at the bottom, they have worms running through
them. This is what they do,
bad quality.
So when the prophet
told the man, wait and be just and
fair,
the man was, kind of offended.
Like, he felt like the prophet was
scratching his dignity because he told him to
be fair. He said, no one ever told
me to be fair before, and he didn't
know the prophet.
So Abu Bakr said,
you know, don't you know the prophet So
the man, you know, was surprised because he
didn't see the prophet
before.
So he wanted to kiss the hands of
the prophet
so the prophet
that filled out because of the the wind.
So they collected some dates in their clothes.
So when Muhammad Sattal Radu Ghanu came out
with his staff or his cane and he
was very charismatic
and honorable, so when they saw him they
they flew away and they threw all the
dates on the ground.
What if they stood up? So Omar Khattab
Radha Manu came to him and said, what
is this? He said, I found it in
the road because of the wind. Okay?
I'm not a thief. I'm not a toob.
Okay? So
So Umar Khattar said, okay. Go home. No
problem. So he said, the kids threw away
all the dates when they saw it. So
if I wanna go home,
they will stop me on the way and
take all the dates from me.
So Umar Khattab
said, don't worry. He was a Khalif, and
he walked him all the way to his
house, to his family.
