He enters into the home of this family,
recognizes that this child is grieving and in
distress. Something is wrong.
He's not doing well. And as busy as
the prophet is and as so much is
happening in the ummah and taking care of
all the matters of the ummah, he still
recognizes what's happening with his child.
And then he asks the people of the
household what's wrong with the child,
and so they tell him.
And then the prophet, our beloved salallahu alayhi
wasalam, approaches the child with so much gentleness
and asks the child
in a very beautiful hadith.
Do you know this hadith that I'm referring
to?
This companion, this Sahabi, he was very young,
but we still call this Sahabi because he
lived to his contemporary, the prophet, so all
of us suddenly lived in the same time
period, but he was a child. And in
this narration,
we learned that his name is Abba Omid,
and the prophet goes
to him and says,
Yeah, What did
the do?
And the if you can listen to the
name,
you see that they're rhyming.
And you also understand that the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, his eloquence
is able to take
right there on the spot. Take the name
of the boy, rhyme it with the name
of
a little bird.
He had learned that the boy had lost
his pet bird,
and that's why he was so sad and
upset, and he clearly showed it.
And when the prophet heard this from the
family members, he didn't just dismiss it and
go, oh, it's just the pet. Moving on.
No. He actually was tuned into the child
and was able to what? Go to him
and look at how he actually asked the
question.
He asked him, oh, of our maid, what
did the nulai,
what did the bird do?
Not what did you do to the bird.
Right?
And so and nor did he dismiss it
and nor did he belittle it, nor did
he minimize it, nor did he blame him.
And this is really important when we talk
about children and we talk about their emotions
and we talk about how they're doing
and being tuned in with them.
Validation is what we saw the prophet
do in his and his interaction with where
he validated him without blaming.
He essentially, in the in the question, having
the way he asked it, there was a
validation
in that this is okay. It's not your
fault, hence, is using what did the bird
to, and now what did you do to
the bird.
