00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			He enters into the home of this family,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			recognizes that this child is grieving and in
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			distress. Something is wrong.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			He's not doing well. And as busy as
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			the prophet is and as so much is
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			happening in the ummah and taking care of
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			all the matters of the ummah, he still
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			recognizes what's happening with his child.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			And then he asks the people of the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			household what's wrong with the child,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			and so they tell him.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			And then the prophet, our beloved salallahu alayhi
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			wasalam, approaches the child with so much gentleness
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			and asks the child
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			in a very beautiful hadith.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Do you know this hadith that I'm referring
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			to?
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			This companion, this Sahabi, he was very young,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			but we still call this Sahabi because he
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			lived to his contemporary, the prophet, so all
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			of us suddenly lived in the same time
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			period, but he was a child. And in
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			this narration,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			we learned that his name is Abba Omid,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			and the prophet goes
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			to him and says,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			Yeah, What did
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			the do?
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			And the if you can listen to the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			name,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			you see that they're rhyming.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			And you also understand that the prophet sallallahu
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			alaihi wa sallam, his eloquence
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			is able to take
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			right there on the spot. Take the name
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			of the boy, rhyme it with the name
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			of
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			a little bird.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			He had learned that the boy had lost
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			his pet bird,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			and that's why he was so sad and
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			upset, and he clearly showed it.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			And when the prophet heard this from the
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			family members, he didn't just dismiss it and
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			go, oh, it's just the pet. Moving on.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			No. He actually was tuned into the child
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			and was able to what? Go to him
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			and look at how he actually asked the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:47
			question.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			He asked him, oh, of our maid, what
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			did the nulai,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			what did the bird do?
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Not what did you do to the bird.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			Right?
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			And so and nor did he dismiss it
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			and nor did he belittle it, nor did
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			he minimize it, nor did he blame him.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			And this is really important when we talk
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			about children and we talk about their emotions
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			and we talk about how they're doing
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			and being tuned in with them.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Validation is what we saw the prophet
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			do in his and his interaction with where
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			he validated him without blaming.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			He essentially, in the in the question, having
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			the way he asked it, there was a
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			validation
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			in that this is okay. It's not your
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			fault, hence, is using what did the bird
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			to, and now what did you do to
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			the bird.
