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

So this will be very short. Once again,

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

we're just covering 1 or 2 ayahs

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

every single week from the,

00:00:06--> 00:00:08

the Surah, Surah Al Hujurat,

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

and just learning some things that we can

00:00:10--> 00:00:12

apply inshallah in our life.

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

Today, inshallah, we're going through ay number 45.

00:00:15--> 00:00:18

Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, he talks about the

00:00:18--> 00:00:19

uncivilized

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

Bedouins who used to come,

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

from other places to see Rasulullah salallahu alaihi

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

wa sallam.

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

And it is mentioned that when it came

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

to

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

the they had a great deal of respect

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

for Rasulullah

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

They knew how to show that adab to

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

the prophet

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

However, these Bedouins, they were not familiar

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

with the status of

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

Rasulullah So it is mentioned that one time

00:00:45--> 00:00:46

there was a group of them that came,

00:00:47--> 00:00:47

to Madinah,

00:00:48--> 00:00:51

and it was the afternoon time.

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

And it was that time of the day

00:00:52--> 00:00:53

where Rasulullah

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

he would take his midday nap, which is

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

fair you know, well known known as

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

It's a midday nap, a power nap, you

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

can understand it as. And he was taking

00:01:04--> 00:01:07

his power nap, and there was a Bedouin

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

man by the name of Al Aqra' ibn

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

Habis.

00:01:09--> 00:01:12

He came, and he began to, you know,

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

raise his voice out loud,

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

right outside the homes of Rasulullah

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

Now understanding that if you try to go

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

back and understand how Madina was, how Madinah

00:01:24--> 00:01:27

was structured and so forth, the prophet did

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

not have houses like we have today. So

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

there were small quarters.

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

In fact, if you go to Madinah today,

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

there's a museum there that gives you a

00:01:35--> 00:01:38

3 d replica of how the houses of

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

the prophet

00:01:39--> 00:01:42

were. And there were small small small small

00:01:42--> 00:01:45

rooms. And that's why the Quran says,

00:01:50--> 00:01:53

This man came, and he began to, you

00:01:53--> 00:01:56

know, scream out loud, You Muhammad. You Muhammad.

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

And at that time, Rasulullah

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

he's taking some rest inside,

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

And then he began to say things

00:02:05--> 00:02:06

such as,

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

something along those lines that whoever we

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

praise, they are praiseworthy.

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

And whoever we degrade,

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

then they are the ones who are degraded.

00:02:23--> 00:02:24

Rasulullah

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

alaihi wa sallam, he came out and he

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

says,

00:02:28--> 00:02:29

That honor

00:02:30--> 00:02:31

of degrading

00:02:31--> 00:02:33

and honoring anyone,

00:02:33--> 00:02:34

that that distinguished

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

honor and that and that responsibility

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

lies only with Allah

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

So the point is that this man, he

00:02:42--> 00:02:42

came outside,

00:02:43--> 00:02:44

and he began to yell out loud the

00:02:44--> 00:02:45

name of Muhammad

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

and not even You Rasulullah,

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

not even You Nabi You Allah, but You

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

Muhammad, and Nabi You

00:02:54--> 00:02:54

Muhammad.

00:02:54--> 00:02:57

And to which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

00:03:04--> 00:03:06

Those people who call out the name

00:03:06--> 00:03:07

of Muhammad

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

outside his quarters.

00:03:12--> 00:03:13

From outside his quarters.

00:03:15--> 00:03:16

Most of them are not aware.

00:03:17--> 00:03:20

They don't understand things. And then Allah says,

00:03:26--> 00:03:28

Had they been patient

00:03:28--> 00:03:29

and waited

00:03:30--> 00:03:30

for Rasulullah

00:03:31--> 00:03:33

salallahu alaihi wasallam to come out to them?

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

This would have been better for them. And

00:03:40--> 00:03:41

then Allah says,

00:03:42--> 00:03:43

Allah

00:03:43--> 00:03:45

is the one who forgives. Now of course,

00:03:45--> 00:03:48

many things can be learned from this. Number

00:03:48--> 00:03:50

1 is, that if you see very closely

00:03:50--> 00:03:52

in the surah, in the beginning of this

00:03:52--> 00:03:54

or right before this,

00:03:54--> 00:03:56

we covered last week the verses,

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

Oh, you people who believe,

00:04:03--> 00:04:06

do not raise your voices above the voice

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

of Rasulullah

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

That was related to the incident of

00:04:12--> 00:04:12

incident

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

of And you see the stern warning,

00:04:15--> 00:04:18

and the harsh nature of Allah

00:04:18--> 00:04:19

when he's addressing

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

Whereas, when you see this bedouin man, who

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

is who doesn't understand the adab of the

00:04:26--> 00:04:27

prophet

00:04:28--> 00:04:31

he's coming out and he's, you know, creating

00:04:31--> 00:04:32

discomfort to the prophet

00:04:33--> 00:04:34

All that

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

Allah is saying is,

00:04:38--> 00:04:38

And Allah

00:04:39--> 00:04:41

is saying that he is forgiving and all

00:04:41--> 00:04:42

merciful.

00:04:42--> 00:04:45

You see how the nature When one group

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

of people, they do something that is wrong,

00:04:47--> 00:04:48

how Allah

00:04:48--> 00:04:51

addresses them. That if you do this, Allah

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

will wipe away your good deeds. On the

00:04:53--> 00:04:55

other hand, we see that this Bedouin man,

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

how Allah subhanahu wa'ala addressed him. And we

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

learn from this,

00:04:59--> 00:05:02

that based on different people, we treat different

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

people in different ways. In the sense that

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

if a person comes and they don't know

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

the rules,

00:05:08--> 00:05:10

then we have to be a little lenient

00:05:10--> 00:05:12

with them. We have to teach them, and

00:05:12--> 00:05:15

educate them. But if a person understands the

00:05:15--> 00:05:17

rules, they understand the standard,

00:05:18--> 00:05:19

then in that situation,

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

you have to hold them a little more

00:05:21--> 00:05:23

to a higher ground. Number 2 is we

00:05:23--> 00:05:26

learn from this is. That this is something

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

that we learn even from the

00:05:29--> 00:05:31

that when they whenever they wanted, Rasulullah

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

they would always wait outside the house of

00:05:35--> 00:05:36

the prophet

00:05:37--> 00:05:40

Because there are many ahadith. Many ahadith where

00:05:40--> 00:05:43

Sahaba wanted something, but they will never go

00:05:43--> 00:05:43

and bother

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

If he was busy with his family, they

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

will let him be with his family. If

00:05:49--> 00:05:50

he was taking his

00:05:50--> 00:05:52

they will not bother him at that time,

00:05:52--> 00:05:54

and they would say that we would wait

00:05:54--> 00:05:55

for the prophet

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

to come out to us. And based on

00:05:57--> 00:05:58

this,

00:05:58--> 00:06:01

many of the ulema, they have perhaps extracted

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

from this, the understanding

00:06:03--> 00:06:05

that even in this day and age, of

00:06:05--> 00:06:08

course there's no Rasoolah with within us. But

00:06:08--> 00:06:10

the same time, when we talk about, you

00:06:10--> 00:06:12

know, great scholars when it comes to the

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

great shayuk of the community, and so forth.

00:06:14--> 00:06:17

You know, subhanallah, once again, I learned this

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

when I went overseas, and I saw this

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

first hand. How Because when I went as

00:06:21--> 00:06:23

a child, I never understood these kind of

00:06:23--> 00:06:25

things too. But when you go there and

00:06:25--> 00:06:28

you see how the system is overseas,

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

and how people are, you know, when you're

00:06:30--> 00:06:33

saying that at Islamic seminary, how people have

00:06:33--> 00:06:36

a great deal of respect for their teachers,

00:06:36--> 00:06:38

and their and so forth. But I saw

00:06:38--> 00:06:41

this first hand, where people wanted to learn

00:06:41--> 00:06:43

from their teacher. Or they had a question

00:06:43--> 00:06:46

for their teacher, and they would just go

00:06:46--> 00:06:48

outside and sit outside for their teacher, to

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

wait for their teacher. In fact, I came

00:06:50--> 00:06:52

across a brother, I mean, he was a

00:06:53--> 00:06:54

He's a close friend of mine. He was

00:06:54--> 00:06:55

telling me that

00:06:56--> 00:06:58

he had a question for his teacher.

00:06:58--> 00:07:01

And he he went to his home, and

00:07:01--> 00:07:04

he sat outside his house for 3 hours,

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

and not a single time did he knock

00:07:06--> 00:07:08

on the door of his teacher because out

00:07:08--> 00:07:10

of for his own teacher. So you see

00:07:10--> 00:07:13

that this is how, you know, overseas, this

00:07:13--> 00:07:14

is how they teach.

00:07:14--> 00:07:16

That when you go to even your teachers,

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

this is how you approach your teachers and

00:07:18--> 00:07:21

so forth. Another thing that's also interesting to

00:07:21--> 00:07:22

learn from this aya is

00:07:22--> 00:07:23

that Allah The prophet

00:07:25--> 00:07:28

even he understood that these people are bedouins.

00:07:28--> 00:07:30

When he came outside,

00:07:30--> 00:07:32

he never got upset with these people. You

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

understand? He never got upset with them that,

00:07:34--> 00:07:36

what kind of adab is this? And why

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

don't you have adab and so forth? But

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

he understood

00:07:39--> 00:07:41

that these people they don't know. And that

00:07:41--> 00:07:43

is why then he

00:07:44--> 00:07:46

would teach them. Another thing that we learned

00:07:46--> 00:07:48

is the fact that

00:07:48--> 00:07:49

the they mentioned

00:07:50--> 00:07:50

that

00:07:51--> 00:07:53

the the problem with this man was not

00:07:53--> 00:07:55

only was he bothering rasulullah

00:07:55--> 00:07:56

alaihi wa sallam at the wrong time of

00:07:56--> 00:07:59

the day, but number 2 was just the

00:07:59--> 00:08:02

the disrespect when he would just say, You

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

Muhammad.

00:08:03--> 00:08:03

Not even,

00:08:05--> 00:08:06

and so forth. And we learned from this

00:08:06--> 00:08:08

that whenever we refer to

00:08:10--> 00:08:13

Rasulullah it is best that we always say

00:08:14--> 00:08:17

Anytime we hear the name of Muhammad, we

00:08:17--> 00:08:17

say

00:08:19--> 00:08:19

And interestingly,

00:08:20--> 00:08:22

if you look at the entire Quran, very

00:08:22--> 00:08:22

beautifully.

00:08:23--> 00:08:23

Allah

00:08:24--> 00:08:25

whenever he addressed

00:08:28--> 00:08:30

he would always address Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa

00:08:30--> 00:08:31

sallam by saying,

00:08:33--> 00:08:34

or

00:08:36--> 00:08:38

Never, wallahi, never in the Quran

00:08:39--> 00:08:42

did Allah ever address Rasulullah with his first

00:08:42--> 00:08:43

name.

00:08:43--> 00:08:44

Yes, we find

00:08:49--> 00:08:51

Allah addressed all the other prophets.

00:08:52--> 00:08:54

Addressed all the other prophets with their first

00:08:54--> 00:08:55

name.

00:08:55--> 00:08:57

Never in the case of Rasulullah

00:08:58--> 00:09:00

Because this shows us how we need to

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

show that respect to the prophet

00:09:03--> 00:09:05

So at least, at the bare minimum, whenever

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

we hear the name of Muhammad, we say

00:09:09--> 00:09:10

If we hear

00:09:11--> 00:09:12

we we hear the word,

00:09:13--> 00:09:13

we say,

00:09:14--> 00:09:16

We hear the word, we say,

00:09:17--> 00:09:19

And we'll finish on this, inshallah. I ask

00:09:19--> 00:09:20

Allah

00:09:21--> 00:09:23

to give us the understanding of these ayat

00:09:23--> 00:09:25

and grant us the the way the sahaba,

00:09:25--> 00:09:26

sallam.

00:09:25--> 00:09:26

sallam.
