Suhaib Webb – The Power of Subhnallah

Welcome back to our explanation of the book.

We reach now the 7th hadith.

What he means by,

Imam al Bukhari and Imam Muslim. So the

6th the 7th hadith is related by al

Bukhari and Muslim

just like the 6 hadith. And Abi Hurayrata

radiAllahu anhu. Again, from Saydna Abu Hurayra radiAllahu

anhu kala. This is shaquah hadith, man. It's

such a beautiful beautiful hadith that every one

of us can do.

And that's that remember that narration of the

guy who said, like,

there's so many things to do now, oh

Messenger of Allah, I can't do it, so

direct me to something that I can do

that I can, you know, succeed.

Keep your tongue moist

and busy

with Allah's remembrance.

All of us can do this.

And that's why in the earlier hadith, the

prophet

whoever says it, The rich, the poor, the

scholar, the non scholar, the layman, the sinner,

the saint.

So the prophet uses the opportunity to expand

dhikr

and reduce the

social stratification

of Medina

and create this equality

amongst people

rooted in faith and practice.

This is the second type of super Sahih

hadith.

The first is Samyat 2, I heard the

Messenger of Allah. The second is Qala

Rasulullah

But it means I'm not quoting him verbatim.

I'm not quoting him verbatim. We'll talk about

this inshallah in the science of hadith

the narration which is the exact words of

Saydah Muhammad

when they say, submit to Rasulullah,

and the narration which is

a paraphrasing

of what the prophet said, and that's when

they say

salallahu alayhi wasalam

kalimatani

kafifa

tan.

The prophet says 2 light words kafifa,

super light,

alalisan,

yani, easy on the tongue.

2 statements,

kali matan means 2 statements. Right?

Easy on the tongue, thakila

tanfilmizan,

heavy in the scales. One of the things

that we talk about in essentials of Islamic

faith,

Sheikh Ahmed Dardir says,

One of the things we believe in, a

foundational belief in our aqeedah is the scales.

Imam al Qadi Abu Bakr ibn al-'Arabi said,

of course, they're not like physical scales like

you and I know, but they're something that

will measure

our actions in the hereafter. May Allah make

it easy for us.

Meaning that

it will be heavy in your scale of

good deeds.

Habibatan

ilarrahman,

both which are beloved to the most merciful

God.

Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

And again, I talked about this before in

the first hadith

Allah UHbirukum

Bikhayri A'amalaykum

Wa'as kaha,

you know, and

shall I not direct you to those,

the best deeds you can do, and the

thing that will purify your heart more than

anything else. Wa'arfa'uha,

and will raise you in greater stations. And

and and and. Right? It keeps happening keeps

happening keeps happening. Called Tashwiqesameh.

The prophet delays the predicate that's happening here.

And you notice something? I talked about this

in the last hadith. He doesn't say, kalimatan

kafifa tanalalisan.

Wa thakila. He just says thakila. He doesn't

say, wa.

Right? He doesn't he he goes into a

run on sentence

to grab the attention of the listener. The

prophet as a teacher is a work of

art.

Salallahu alayhi wasalam.

So that the listeners like, what are they?

What are those 2 words?

The build up.

He says,

He said

meaning

glory be to Allah

and all praise be to Allah. The word

subhanAllah

is from the word Sabaha.

Sabaha means to swim. Is

swimming.

I swim in the sea.

What's the relationship between swimming

and transcendence?

You know, subhanallah, the the Arabs,

Imam Zamakhshari

in his book, Assas Subalaga,

his entire dictionary

of

the literal and the figurative meanings of words.

So SubhanAllah

is from a word which means to swim

because the Arabs they were frightened of swimming.

And in their time, they they theorized that

when you fell in water and you moved

in the water,

you were attempting

to grab on to something material to save

your life.

What's the relationship between that and us saying,

subhanAllah,

is that whenever the mind

tries to grab an image

of the material

and associate that with the one true God?

It's impossible.

So the mind is swimming

in the awe of Allah.

Subhanallah.

So when we're overcome by awe,

we're overcome by something incredible,

SubhanAllah,

SubhanAllah.

We're

going to talk about alhamdun surtafatiha

SubhanAllah

he doesn't say what he says SubhanAllah

Transcendent

and glorified is Allah

Al-'Azim.

We can also talk about Al-'Azim insha'allahahu ta'ala

in the future. So, alhamdulillah, now we finished

the 7th hadith

from the collection of this book, Al Alam

Al Hayib Fishar

Kalam Atayib

Kalim Atayib Insha'Allah.

Will continue in the future. But now you

should try to memorize these things that we've

taken.

They're very easy inshallah. And if you memorize

them, hit me up, and I'll be glad

to listen to you.
