The Sira's armor system is divided into modules and not a real armor. The use of armor during battle is discussed, including the use of armor and shoulder and guards, the use of wreath and clothing, and the manner of walking during illness. The three fingers and each finger are used to prevent dish preparation, and the importance of cleanliness and portion control is emphasized. The speaker also discusses the culture of the prophet's lifestyle, including leaning on people and using small portions of food.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:23
			Alright.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			We are on session 3
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			of our journey in
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			learning about
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			the
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			from
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			a different aspect of the not
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			just a chronological view of the events of
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			his life, but learning about who he was
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			as a person, his
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			personality,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			the things he liked,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			the things he wore, the way that he
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			sat, the way that he talked.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			And as we mentioned last week, this is
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			a genre of,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			the larger corpus of the Sira,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			is called the Shamal,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			which are the encompassing qualities
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			of Rasulullah
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			So we've done 2 sessions already, and they
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			are available online
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			on the Islamic Foundation YouTube page for anyone
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			to, watch and catch up.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			Today, we are actually going to start, I
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			believe, on chapter 15. So let me jump
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			ahead there.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			And we ended last time with
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			looking at
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			the weapons, the sword of the prophet
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			And we ended here with,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			a sword called,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			the sword of the prophets, which belonged to
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			many prophets before him, and which the prophet
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			claimed from the.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			So now we are on
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			chapter 15,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			the armor
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:11
			of Rasulullah
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			For those of you who are joining us
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			for the first time, the way that we
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			do this is,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			we're reading out of a book called.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			If you guys would like to look at
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			it afterwards, you can.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			There are chapters divided into different topics, and
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			each chapter has a lot of a hadith.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			We just try to take a few of
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			them that capture the main point of that
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			chapter,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			and, we'll read them here. And then I
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			try to include some pictures to give,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			some more of a visual representation of what
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:43
			we're reading.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			So we're on the armor of
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			hadith number 110
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			From the Sahabi Zubairib and Awam,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			he says,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			during the battle of Uhud, the prophet
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			was wearing 2 pieces of armor.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			He attempted to climb upon a rock but
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			was unable, so he had Talha
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			sit by the rock as he climbed upon
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			him,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			and then he climbed up until he reached
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			the top of the rock. Now the main
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			point for our purposes here is that he
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			was wearing 2 pieces of armor
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			on the day of.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			And then from the next hadith from, Sayed
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			ibn Yazid
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			says a similar
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			concept here that during the battle of Uhud,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			the messenger
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			wore 2 pieces of armor,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			one overlapping the other.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			Just a note on the first hadith here.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			It says
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			the wording is that he was unable to
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			climb upon a rock. Actually, the commentators mentioned
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			it's not that he was unable to do
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			so,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			but that by asking someone to help and
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			by someone volunteering to help, Allah,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			actually inspired the prophet to do this
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			so that this Sahaba, the prophet actually said
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			afterwards, after he helped him up on the
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			rock that you've just earned Jannah
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			by doing this. So any act of service
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			that's done to the prophet
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:02
			is an immense,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			you know, act of blessing. And during the
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			battle of Uhud,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			several people who sacrificed
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			something for the prophet
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			he would he was saying throughout the battle,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			such and such a person has entered Jannah,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			such and such a person has entered Jannah.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			So
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			they're they're very
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			they point that out. It's not that he
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			was unable. The prophet had the strength of
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			10 men or more. Right? But that this
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			was a a way to spread the mercy
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			that Allah
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			had given to him. But the main takeaway
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			for this chapter is that in this particular
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			battle, Uhud was a very intense battle. Right?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			Some of the other battles are we might
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			call them more like skirmishes or raids, whereas
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			Uhud was actually a battle of of defense.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			And they were preparing the city.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			They knew there was a large force coming
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			to invade from Mecca, so they,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			went to the outskirts of Madinah, which is
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			the mountain of Uhud. They knew that they
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			had to pass along this way. So this
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			is a very major battle. So they took
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			much more precaution, you know, during this battle.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			And so
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			this is these are not the actual pieces.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			These are actually in museums now.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			But this is probably an approximation
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			of something similar to what the prophet
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			may have worn
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			during this battle. So we have 2 pieces
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			here.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			We have a chain mail shirt that they
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			used to wear underneath, and this is something
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			that was worn even, before
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			this particular period all the way back to
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			the Roman and and Greco Roman period.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			And it was something that we know that
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			he wore something like this.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			This particular piece is from Iran. It's in
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			it's a museum.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			But it may have been something similar to
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			what you see here. Again, these are not
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			the actual relics that we've talked about before.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			They're kept in tobqapi, but just an approximation.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			And then you see on the right side,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			what probably would have been worn over the
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			chain mill. So this is a breastplate.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			This particular one is actually a heavy cavalry
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			breast breastplate from Turkey.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			This is what they would have worn on,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			horse, horseback. And you can see it actually
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			has shoulder,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			guards as well. There would have been a
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			breastplate,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			shoulder guards, and then a backplate
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			all worn together
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			with chain mail underneath.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:14
			This is this is
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			we have to remember, in the Arabian desert,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			it's extremely hot. So even if you're gonna
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			wear armor, you're gonna wear light armor. You're
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			not gonna wear a full
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			metal suit like they were in Europe or,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			you know, some of these other places. But
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			they tried to keep it as light as
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			possible.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			The main tactic,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			the battle tactic of that period was cavalry.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			Right? Infantry is always tricky on a desert
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			environment. Right? So cavalry and then,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			bow and arrow. Right? Ranged or artillery was
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			extremely important, which is why the battle of
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			the prophet
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			specifically stationed a group of
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			of,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			bowmen at a at a particular location, told
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			them to stay there because that was pivotal
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			to stopping the route of the cavalry that
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			would have come around.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			But we are I mean, not to say
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			that all the Sahaba would have worn something
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:05
			like this. The prophet
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			probably had a bit more than some of
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			the others. They may have been wearing some
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			hardened leather or something like that, but we
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			know that he had some actual metal pieces
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			of armor. So may have looked something like
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			this.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			And then the next chapter continues on this,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			chapter 16. We have the of
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			which is a type of head armor. And
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			so we have this hadith number 113 from.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			He says that the messenger of Allah
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			entered Mecca on the day of the conquest,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			the day of Fatih,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			wearing a chainmail koiif. This is why I
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			in the previous picture, I showed chainmail because
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			that was something that would have been there
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			in their time.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			After he removed it,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			a man came to him and said,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			is clinging to the covering of the Kaaba,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			to which
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			he, replied, kill him.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			Said,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			it has reached me that the messenger of
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			Allah
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			was not in a state of
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			that day.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			So this is a very interesting hadith. Ibn
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			Khattal was a very dangerous,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			individual.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			He actually had converted,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			was in Medina, had actually killed someone in
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:20
			Medina,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			re left Islam,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			went back to Mecca, and then was spreading
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			a lot of slander and lies about,
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			the prophet
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			and and others.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			I believe there are 4 people
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			in, the that were not granted amnesty by
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			the prophet
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			at all, and he was one of them.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			What he's doing here, clinging to the coverings
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			of the Kaaba in ancient Arabia, was a
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			sign of amnesty. You you can't touch someone,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			right, when they're clinging to the Kaaba.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			But this particular individual, the Rasool, told us
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			he has no amnesty from Allah.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			So he was specifically one of the I
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			think it was 4 people
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			that were you know, they had targets on
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			them, basically.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			And so even though he was doing that,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			the command came from Rasulullah Sasm to to
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			execute him.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			But the part we're focused on today is
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			that he was wearing a chainmail coif, and
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			I'll show you what the coif is in
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			a second. But,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			this shows us even that on that day,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			the Fat Makkah,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			they came in armored.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			Right? The Sahaba and the prophet
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			came into Makkah armored,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			which why which is why at the end,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			it says they were not in a state
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			of on that day. Because when you enter
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			in a state of it's a state of
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			peace. Right? No one can touch anyone.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			But on this particular day, the goal was
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			not peace. It was to actually liberate the
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			city. I don't particularly like the word conquest.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			It's more of a liberation. Right? Liberating the
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:44
			city from,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			not just the the but also from idolatry
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:49
			itself.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			So this is
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			the koiif. That's called the.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			And it's actually the chain mill that you
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			see underneath
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			the helmet. That's called the.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			So the helmet is a separate,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			piece.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			Underneath that, you would wear this, and it's
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			basically for protecting the neck. Right? The sides
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			of the head, the neck, and the shoulders.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			And over these helmets is where they would
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			have actually they would have worn an.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			A turban is is tied around
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			the helmets. And we have descriptions in some
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			of the commentaries on this book of the
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			different colors of turbans that the Sahaba actually
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			wore. So it actually almost had, like, a
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:29
			trademark.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			It was mentioned, for example, that's in the
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:32
			hamza.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			I believe he wore a yellow turban, and
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			he would put an ostrich feather in his
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			turban. So they had these these, you know,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:41
			these,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:42
			personal
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:43
			kind of
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			signs that they had.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			Others wore green. Others wore red. The prophet
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			we know on this particular day, and we're
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			gonna see that in a second, was wearing
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			a black turban
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			or a very dark green, some of them
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			say. But that's worn over the helmet.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			And not all of them probably were wearing
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			metal. Remember, this is, again, the desert. You
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			wanna be light. So metal
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			may not have been what they were wearing.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			They may have worn leather or something like
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			that.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			This is actually from the the set of
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			Kingdom of Heaven. So this is a
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			a later piece. So probably what didn't look
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			this ornate either.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			But this shows us what the is. So
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			it's that chain mill that covers, you know,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			the sides.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			Okay.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			So then moving right on to chapter 17,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			the turban or the or is the the
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			proper Arabic term is the of Rasulullah
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			So hadith number 114, which comes to us
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41
			from Jabir,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			He says, the prophet
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			entered Mecca on the day of conquest wearing
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			a black
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:49
			turban.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			And as I mentioned, some of the commentaries
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			mentioned
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			either was black or it was a very
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			dark green. Some of the commentators were actually
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			unsure whether it was black or dark green.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			But we also know that
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			outside of this context, the prophet
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			also wore white,
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			as a very common theme for his turban.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			He actually named his turban. So he had
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			a turban named sahab,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			which means cloud, which was a white color
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			and very kind of flowy turban,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			with a draped out with the tail.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			Here in this particular context, black the black
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			turban is actually a sign of war. That's
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			something that you wear to battle
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			to to seem, you know, more intimidating perhaps.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			But we do know that he
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			wore other colors as well.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			Hadith number 116,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			these are all gonna be around the same
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			line as well.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			From he says, the prophet
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			addressed to the people
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			whilst wearing a black turban. And I believe
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			this was on the same day. These hadith
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			are talking about the same event.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			Then hadith number 117
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			from he says, when the prophet
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			would tie his turban,
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			he would hang its tail between his blessed
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			shoulders, the back,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			over his back between the shoulder blades.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			Nafir said that ibn Umar would do that
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			as well.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			And said,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			I saw Al Qasim ibn Mohammed and Salim
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			do the same.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			So when you tie a turban, there's many
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			styles and many ways to do it. I
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			actually have pictures on the next page. There's
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			different ways in which you can tie the
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			turban. Right?
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			So the larger picture here that we see
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			on the right side
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			is probably more similar to how they would
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			have worn their imamas back in the day.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			So you have a longer piece and longer
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			tail. It's called an,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			a longer tail that that goes down between
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			the shoulders.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			And then there's some difference of opinion what
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			you do with the other end. So some
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			of them say you do it like this
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			where you basically push it in and you
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			leave it hanging out
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			as we see in this picture.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			Others, they'll actually push it all the way
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			through so that you have basically 2
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			tails,
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			you know, in the back.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			Then we have some other styles as well
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			that we know that the prophets wore or
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			what some of the other
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			actually talk about. So on the top left,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			was with doctor Omar,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			he's wearing what's called the.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			The is a turban. It's in and
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			then over that, they put a a shawl
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			or a cloak of some sort. So you
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			it's almost as if you're tying one turban
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			just on your head and then the other
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			one around your shoulders.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			Right? So this is common amongst many of
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			the that they wear this.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			They wear almost like 2 turbans.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			And then at the bottom left, that's Sheikh
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			Ram insur.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			I'll protect all of them. He is wearing
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			a different style of turban, which is,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			they call this style.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			And that basically is to tie the turban,
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			but then to have a piece of it
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			go underneath,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			the chin, underneath and around, and then tie
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			it back. So the difference between this and
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			the is that the is 2 pieces of
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			clothing, 2 pieces of cloth.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			Whereas when you're doing
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			it's all one piece.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			And this, I believe,
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			from my studies,
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			I don't remember exactly, but I believe this
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			is actually the preferred way of tying it
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:22
			in the school.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			It's to tie it with to make sure
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			that one of the,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			ties goes underneath the chain and then comes
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:30
			back around.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			And this is
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			closer probably to what some of the the
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			desert
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			people of that time would have worn.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			Because it's protection from sand. You don't want
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			sand getting into your your hair and your
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			face and stuff.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			On the other hand, the prophet
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			wasn't actually a desert Arab. Right? We have
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			different types of Arabs, actually. They're not just
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			all the same people. We have the Arab
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			and we have the Arab. The Arab well,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			actually, the city Arabs. We'll call them that.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			The people who grew up in the cities
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			like Mecca and like Medina. Then the Arab
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			are those who grew out in the desert.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			Right? They're basically what we call Bedouins.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			So you may have had different styles of
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			this based upon, you know, what type of
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			Arab you're dealing with, whether they are actually
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			city Arabs or whether they're desert Arabs.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			In any case, I mean, all of these
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			are found
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			in the books. So whatever way you'd like
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			to tie it. It's it's actually a a
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			strong sunnah to try to tie
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			I believe in the Maliki school, they either
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			tie the turban
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			or they don't wear anything. Right? They actually
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			don't wear topis.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			That's like you either tie 1 or or
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			you either do all of it or you
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			do none of it. I believe that's the
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			position in the Maliki school.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			I'm not a Maliki, but that's what I've
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			heard. So,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			but it's a very strong confirmed, you know,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			some of the prophets has some to tie
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			the full if one is able to. And
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			all it is is basically just a hat
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			with cloth around it. Right? It can just
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			be one loop if if necessary.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:54
			Okay.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			On to chapter 18,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			we have the Izzar of Rasool.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			Izzar,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			in modern day and age, you call it
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			a sarang, call it a we call it
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			lungi, actually. The prophet actually wore.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			There's a report that he bought,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			he purchased
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			what we would now call a.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			Right?
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			He purchased one because that's what they actually
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			would use in battle.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			They wouldn't wear Izars in battle. They would
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			wear or
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			in Arabic.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			It's also easier to ride a horse on.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			Right? Obviously, you don't wanna be riding a
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			horse in a lungi. Right?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			But so we know the prophet bought
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:37
			the or
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			but we actually don't know if he wore
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			it or not.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			That's a difference of opinion on that. But
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			it's confirmed that
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			prophet did wear Izzar, and this is basically
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			what we wear when we go on Hajj
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			al Umrah. When you go into Ihram, the
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			the the piece of clothing that you tie,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			on the lower part of the body, that's
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			called the Izzar even to this day.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			So hadith number 119 from Abu Musal Asheri
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			he says,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			brought out for us a patched upper garment
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			and a coarse iazar.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			And she said, the messenger of Allah
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			passed away while wearing these two garments.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			So this is what I was talking about
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			last week that, you know, the Sahaba actually
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			kept these things. This was part of
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			their Islam was to to preserve
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			the items
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			that the prophet
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			had that were that were present from that
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			time. Right? They didn't see this as some
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			sort of
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			something detracting from their iman or taking away
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			from their faith. They saw this as an
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			honor to have the items that the prophet
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			actually wore in his lifetime. Right?
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			We can see that he was wearing a
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:48
			coarse
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			so the typo there. He was wearing a
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			coarse
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			when when he passed away.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			And then hadith number 120 from Al Ashat
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			Ibn Sulaim
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			He said that I heard my paternal aunt
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			speak about her paternal uncle whose name is
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			who
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			who said,
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			once I was as I was walking in
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			Medina, a person behind me said,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:12
			lift up your
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			for it's closer to piety and more conducive
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			to long wear. What he means is to
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			preserve it for longer.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			Lo and behold, it was the messenger of
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			Allah
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			I replied, oh messenger of Allah,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			it is only a
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			and that's, explained after the hadith. It's only
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			a specific type of iazar. It's nothing special,
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			basically. It's what he's trying to say.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:37
			He
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			said, do you not have me as your
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:41
			exemplar?
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			And then I looked and saw that his
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			iazar was at mid shin
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			level. It's actually wore it a bit higher
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:49
			up.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			And he mentions
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			mentions the reasons why. He says it's closer
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:55
			to piety,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			and it's more conducive to long wear. Meaning,
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			it's not going to if your is dragging
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			on the ground, what's gonna happen? It's going
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			to get ripped. It's gonna get torn. It's
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			gonna get dirty.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			And we see this intense awareness
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			in the prophet
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			for
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			objects themselves. Like, be kind to the object.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			If you're wearing an iazar, even the iazar,
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			be kind to it.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			Don't drag it on the ground so that
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			it gets, you know, scraped and it gets
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:22
			torn.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			And then the response that he mentions there,
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			it's only a.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			This was actually just a very common thing
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			that they wore in that age, the,
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			this
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			adjective that we have here is he was
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:39
			wearing basically a, iazar for warmth, hence it's
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			called a borda.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			And a malha is, basically a black
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			iazar with white stripes. So they actually used
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			to wear them with a striped pattern on
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			it.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			That's mentioned in this book that it's it's
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			a patterned Izar. But this was not seen
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			as anything special in their time. This was
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			the common
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			clothing that all of them would have worn.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			That's why he says that. It's just the,
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			like, what's the big deal?
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			Even to that, even to the most,
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			you know, what's seemingly unimportant of things, the
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			prophet was basically telling him, have respect. Right?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			Don't drag it on the ground so it
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			gets torn up.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			Hadith number 121 from Al Aqwa,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			he said,
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			would wear his at
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			mid shin level.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			And he would say,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:32
			this is how the Izar of my companion,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:32
			meaning
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			This is how the Izar of my companion
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			was, meaning the prophet
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			Hadith number 120
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:40
			from
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			he says, the prophet
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			once took hold of my calf muscle
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			or his own blessed calf muscle. This is
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			the narrator's unsure what was said.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			And then he said,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			this is where the Izzar should reach.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			If you do not wish, then let it
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			be lower.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			And if you refuse, then know that the
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			Izzar has no right
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			being below the ankles.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			So we have actually the prophet says here
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			giving some choice.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			Right?
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			You should you should wear it up to
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			your calf muscle, mid shin, but you can
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			wear it lower if need be. If you
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			would like to wear it lower, then no
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			problem.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			But don't let it go below your ankles.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			And, again, the reason here is not because,
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			it's, you know, a sin or something like
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			that, but it's not kind to the cloth.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			Right? It's going to tear up your cloth.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			It's going to,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			ruin the the
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			the thing that Allah has clothed you with.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			Right? That's a blessing from Allah
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			That being said, you know, there's some other
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			hadith that talk about the subject that this
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			especially should not be done out of arrogance
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			or pride. Right?
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			You shouldn't wear long clothing or ornate clothing
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			as a act of pride
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			to show off to other people.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			But, you know, even nowadays when we're we're
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			wearing our our pants and stuff,
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			you know, we're not wearing them, hopefully not
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			out of pride and vanity. But if we're
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			just wearing them and they go beneath the
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			angles, it's not as if it should be
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			counted as a sin. Some people take it
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			unfortunately a bit too literally sometimes.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			Okay. Here's a a very special man, Al
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			Habib Abdul Kalir, Bin Ahmed Saqaf,
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			passed away in the last century. He was
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			one of the major,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:28
			imams,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			descended from, Yemen. He's originally from Yemen, but
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:33
			he lived,
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			most of his life his later life in
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			Jeddah.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			We see here an example of several of
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			the items
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			that are from the prophetic
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:42
			legacy
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			that he's wearing here.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			So you'll notice he's wearing first the,
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			and he's wearing the kameez.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			We said previously that the the favorite clothing
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			of the prophet was the kameez. Right?
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			And that's a just a shirt. It's not
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			the full fold like we wear nowadays.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			Can see him wearing a
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			over the Khamis.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			Right? And then we see the Izaar. And
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			this is the type of pattern even that
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			they were wearing in that day, a striped
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			Izaar. Right?
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			He's also he has a a a shawl
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			over his right shoulder, which is called the,
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			which, the prophet we also know carried that
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			with him, and we we talked about the
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			habira before.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			We see here even
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			in the modern day and age. Right? Many
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			of the clothing that we have around the
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			Islamic world is actually inspired
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			almost directly
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			by the prophetic legacy. Even the that a
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			lot of Desis wear today, that has prophetic
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			origins in it. Our ancestors are
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			they're much more in tune with the sunnah
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			than we were. Right? And so even the
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			basic clothing that they wore was to reflect
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			something from the prophet.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			As I mentioned, we know the prophet
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			owned the for sure. Whether he wore it
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			or not is a different story.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:57
			Right? But
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			that's the inspiration for the modern show. That's
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			why we wear it. Right? It's part of
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			our prophetic
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:04
			inheritance.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			Okay. Now we're gonna get into some of
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			the more
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:11
			intangibles,
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			the ways in which he did things. So
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			chapter 19 is on the walk or the
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			manner of walk, the gate of Rasulullah Sallallahu
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:20
			Alaihi Salam.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			Date number 123 from Abu Hurairah,
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			He says,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			I never saw anything more beautiful than the
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			messenger of Allah
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			It was as if the sun flowed from
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			his blessed face. He gave off light and
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			warmth from his face.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			And I never saw anyone who walked
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			faster than the messenger of Allah
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			It was as if the earth folded itself
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			up for him.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			And we would tire ourselves in exertion, meaning
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53
			trying to keep up with him. We would
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			tire ourselves in exertion,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			but for him, it was effortless.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			It's a very unique trait of the prophet
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			that although he wasn't the tallest man, although
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			he wasn't, you know, the maybe the bulkiest
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:05
			man,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			but he walked faster than any of the
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			sahaba.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			He's had a normal walk. He was outstripping
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			all the sahaba with just his normal walk.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			Right?
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			So we we see that he had immense
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			strength. He had immense vigor. And the
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			prophet
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			was not a weak or a frail man
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			in any sense of the word.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			Right?
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			From
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			Ibrahim ibn Muhammad
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			He said when Ali
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			would describe the prophet
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			he would say, when he walked, he walked
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			with vigor
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			as if he was descending from a height.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			This can be taken,
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			one of 2 ways in in, the second
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			Next hadith, we have one in interpretation of
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			that is the way that he leaned forward.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			But another interpretation of this is also the
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			speed with which he walked.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			He walked so fast. It's as if he
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			was coming down a hill. Like, he was
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			so much faster than everyone else. Like, they
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			were walking in a straight line. And it's
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			as if he was walking downhill because of
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			the speed with which he walked.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			But in the next hadith, we see from
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			Ali ibn Abi Talib,
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			he said that when the prophet
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			would walk, he would incline
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			forward slightly
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			as if he was descending from a height.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			And this is something if you ever, you
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			know, go hiking and you go down, notice
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			that when you you think when you go
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			downhill that you lean back, but actually you
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			don't. You lean forward.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			Right? As you lean forward slightly, and you're
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			more sure in your steps, you take stronger
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			steps as you go downhill.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			And so he saw us and would do
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			that naturally. Whenever he was walking, he would
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			lean forward
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			slightly. He would take very strong and powerful
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			steps.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			Next, we have the manner of sitting of
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:52
			Rasool
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:57
			Allah Hadith number 127 from Abdullah bin Hassan,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			He said that
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			saw the messenger of
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:03
			in the mosque
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			sitting in the position.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			I'll have a picture of that in a
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			second. She said,
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			when I saw the messenger of Allah
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			sitting in such a humble and tranquil manner,
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			I trembled out of awe for him.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			Is basically to sit
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			in such a way that your knees are
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			up. So you're sitting on your bottom, your
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			knees are up, and your arms are around
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			your knees. K? I'll show you a picture
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			in a second of that.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			Hadith number 128 from Abdullah bin Zayed,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			He said, he saw the
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			prophet
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			lying down in the mosque with one leg
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			placed over the other.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:47
			So in this in a reclining position, which
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:47
			is
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			not seen as something strange or, you know,
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			sometimes we are very,
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			harsh on people if we see them laying
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			down in the masjid or laying on their
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			side. That's something the Sahaba and the prophet
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			himself did. Nothing wrong with that.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			Number 129 from Abu Sayed al Khudri.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			He said, when the messenger of Allah
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			would sit in the mosque,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			he would sit in the position
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			using his blessed hands.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			This is actually what the first one is
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			referring to,
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			the position. It's the same thing.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:20
			Is actually
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			oh, go to the next picture.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			This is called.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:25
			K.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			The cloth that you see there, the the
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			green cloth, this is called the.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			What it basically does is, you know, in
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			the desert,
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			you don't have necessarily trees or walls or
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			all that stuff all over the place to
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			to lean on. So So they actually did
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			is they they would take a cloth, and
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			they would just sew a cloth and make
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			a loop out of it. Right? And so
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			when you're sitting on a sand, you know,
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			a sand dune or something, you know, you
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			can't put your back down on something, they
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			would put this cloth
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			behind their back and over their knees, and
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			it would basically act like a seat.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			So it sit in this position like this.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			This is called the.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			This, by the way, was Habib, a
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			modern day scholar from Yemen. Very beautiful man.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			To do this with your hands exactly
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			what you're doing right now.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			This is called.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			So what what he's doing.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			Right? And to do this with the with
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			the that's called.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			K. We know the prophet
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			did both. He did both of these things.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			Then he would also sit cross legged sometimes
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			as well. This is in the normal cross
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			legged position that we have.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			But all of these were different ways in
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			which he sat. And sometimes he would actually
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			lean back on a wall inside the masjid
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			as well. We'll see that in a second.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			Or he would lay down on the side,
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			right, if if it was comfortable for him.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			These you can actually still buy, by the
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			way. The are still they still make them.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			You can still buy them and and wear
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			this. It's very nice, comfortable in the masjid,
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			actually.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			Chapter 22,
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			the manner of reclining
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			of Rasulullah Sallallahu
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			Alaihi Wasallam. Hadith 130 from Jabber. He
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			said, I saw the messenger of Allah
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			reclining on a cushion on his left side.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			You know, there's a hadith that there are
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			3 things that you can't refuse.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			If someone gives you these things, you can't
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			refuse them. It's it's sunnah, meaning, not that
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			it would be a haram or a sin,
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			but you should never refuse these things.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			One of these things is actually a pillow.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			That'll be sad that. If someone offers you
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			what we sad that a pillow, you don't
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:32
			refuse it.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			So what they mentioned is even if you
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			don't want it, you should still take it,
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			but then put it down or something as
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			if you don't want it.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			But we know the prophet told us if
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			you someone gives you a pillow, basically, they're
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			trying to make you comfortable. They're trying to
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			make you feel, you know, good. You shouldn't
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			refuse it out of out of fear that
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			you might actually make them feel bad. Right?
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			They're trying to give you some comfort. Say,
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			you know, get this out of here. It's
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			not sunnah. Right? We take other people's feelings.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			Emotional intelligence is a very strong part of
		
00:31:59 --> 00:31:59
			the sunnah.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			The others, there's some other, but their milk
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			is one of them.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			Perfume is one of them. They shouldn't refuse
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			these things. That being said, if you have,
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			like me, some sensitivity to some,
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			cologne, that's okay. Don't worry about it.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:15
			But the messenger
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			reclined on a cushion. Right? And he would
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			even talk, and he would teach some of
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			his companions in this way in a reclining
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			position. There's nothing wrong with that.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			Based on 131 from Abu Bakr,
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			He said,
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			the messenger of Allah
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			said, shall I not inform you of the
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			gravest of major sins? They said, of course,
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			oh, messenger of Allah.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			He said associating partners with Allah and disrespecting
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			one's parents.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			Messenger of
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			Allah was reclining, but then he sat up.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			And he said,
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			and bearing false witness.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			Or he said, uttering a false statement, the
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			narrator was unsure.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			He kept repeating the last phrase until we
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:00
			said to ourselves that we we wished he
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:00
			would be silent.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			So we can see that at the beginning
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			of this, he was actually reclining when he
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			said the first few things, but then he
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			sat up.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			Right? And this is something actually you'll see
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			in some parts of the world to this
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			day, especially in Western Africa.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			They have this almost,
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			I don't know how to say it. It's
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:23
			not, it's not like being lackadaisical or it's
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			not being,
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			casual.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			But they have this this attitude, which I
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			find very beautiful, which they'll actually teach, you
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:32
			know, laying down. They'll teach other signs or
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:32
			reclining.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			Other parts of the world, that would be
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			like a a big
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			no no. It'll be like a considered bad
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:39
			manners. But you can see this in the
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			life of the prophet.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			He would teach even on his side or
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			laying down, and it was wasn't considered a
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			bad thing.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			The final phrase here that we wished he
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:50
			would not say we wished he would be
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:53
			silent is not it's mentioned in the book.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55
			It's not something that they were sahaba were
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			not trying to be rude to the prophet
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58
			in thinking this.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			They were just
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:01
			afraid of his anger, his
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			so much. Right? The prophet was very intense,
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			had a very intense halal, right, very intense
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:08
			state.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			So when he was saying certain things in
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:11
			a very
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			sense, in a very stern sense,
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			it actually affected the Sahaba.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			They were scared, right, when he would be
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			in this this mode.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			So this is not saying that we wish
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			he would be silent because we didn't wanna
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			hear him, but because they were actually
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:28
			in fear when the prophet would say certain
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:28
			things.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:33
			Hadith number 132 from, Abu
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			He says, the messenger of Allah
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			said,
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			as for me, I do not eat whilst
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:40
			reclining.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			So some of the other sahaba may have
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			even done this. Right? They may have done
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			that on the side, but the prophet actually
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			considered it part of the of eating, having
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			respect for your food at least as you
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			sit up. Right? Sit up for your food.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			And we'll talk about later how he actually
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			used to eat. We know even the way
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			he used to sit
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58
			while he ate
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			Here's a picture. As I said, West Africa,
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			they still have this tradition.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			This is Sheikh, Mohammed Abu Luzid
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			Sayed from.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			And he's actually speaking and teaching a class
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:15
			here in the leaning position on his left
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17
			side, exactly as we just read. This is
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19
			something very common in in certain parts of
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			the world. In other parts of the world,
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			it's it's not as common. But you see
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23
			this in some of the more,
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			I guess, you could say desert environments where
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			they they don't have as many,
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			forgetting the word, but they don't have these,
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			scruples that that we do in certain other
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			parts of the world. So they'll teach laying
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36
			down. They'll teach on their side. There's nothing
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39
			wrong with that. They shouldn't be taken as
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			offensive, of course, in any way.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			Chapter 23, I think we're almost done for
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			today. The manner of leaning of Rasulullah
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			so we know he would lean on people
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			sometimes.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:53
			From Abbas,
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			whether it's an anhu, he said, I went
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:58
			to see the messenger of Allah
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			during the illness from which he was to
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:01
			pass away,
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			and he was wearing a yellow piece of
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			cloth around his head.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:09
			I greeted him whereupon he said, oh,
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			to which I replied, at your service, oh,
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			messenger of Allah,
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			He said the phrase,
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			So, yeah, you can say to the prophet
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19
			and would say it all the time. I
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:22
			have a funny story about that later. He
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			said, tighten this cloth around my head, and
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			so I did.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			Then he sat up and placed the palm
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:30
			of his blessed hand on my shoulder
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:33
			and stood up and entered the mosque. This
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			was to lead the prayer.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			But we see that when he needed to,
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			the messenger of Allah would lean on people
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41
			and use people as support even if he
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:42
			needed to do that.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			And this is obviously a sign of humility,
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47
			right, that you you need someone to walk
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			on. The prophet was the most humble of
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			people. So.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			There's a story about one of the great,
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			men of the last,
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			the last generation, Morabdul Hajj
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			who passed away a few years ago,
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			that he was over a 100,
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			I don't know, 110. So he was a
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:09
			very, very old man.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			And even as an old man,
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			to pray I mean, he had every excuse
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			to pray sitting down, every excuse to pray
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18
			laying down. He never did.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			Even in his old age, he would actually
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			have his grandsons or his great grandsons
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			pick him up, and he would lean on
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27
			them,
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30
			and he would pray standing up. And when
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:32
			he went into, his his grands or great
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			grandsons would lean him over into.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			They would stand him back up, and they
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38
			would move him into.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			He couldn't do it himself, so he had
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			his grandsons doing it for him.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:45
			But this this manner of leading upon people,
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			right, it's not seen as something, again, like
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:50
			a or something strange, something the prophet himself
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			did.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:55
			And the other story is I was gonna
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			say, saying,
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:57
			right, saying
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59
			to the prophet
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			is an act, you know, that we can
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			do. It's an act of,
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			service. Right? The Quran tells us that
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			respond to the call of Allah
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			and to the call of the messenger
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:14
			when they call you to that which gives
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			you life. Right?
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:18
			The saying was something that Sahaba did all
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			the time, even to the prophet
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			or they would say they were actually saying,
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			may my mother and father be a sacrifice
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			for you.
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			Right?
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			The ones I was given, I said I
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			actually didn't say I said to Allah. I
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:34
			said I said I said you can't say
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			that outside of Hajj.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37
			It's haram to say outside of Hajj. I
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:39
			said, I got some stuff to tell you.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:41
			It's a common,
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			Arabic expression. They would say it even with
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:44
			with
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:48
			Rasulullah Alright.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			Almost done. The manner of eating
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			of Rasulullah
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56
			Hadith number 137 from Kabi Malik,
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			He said, the prophet
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:03
			would lick his blessed fingers 3 times,
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			meaning after he ate.
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:07
			And then tied to that, the next hadith
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:07
			from Anas
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			he said, when the prophet
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			would eat food, he would lick his 3
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			blessed fingers.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			So he would eat with 3 fingers, these
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:18
			3.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:19
			Right?
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:20
			And,
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			you know, he would take small portions, what's
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			called in Arabic, a. Just just a single
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:29
			bite. Right? Not stuffing his face with food,
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:29
			but a single
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			bite enough that it's comfortable to eat.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			And he would after he would finish, he
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			would lick each finger 3 times.
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:38
			So these three fingers and each of them
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:41
			3 times whenever he was eating something. And
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43
			we'll we'll get into a lot more on
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:44
			the food, the specific,
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:47
			manner of, the food, the way that they
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			prepare their food as well.
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			But, you know, he never saw some ate
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			with a utensil.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			Not that that's wrong to do. It's not
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			wrong to eat with utensils.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			This the way that the prophet
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			ate in this way was a way that,
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			you know, it it wasn't
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03
			it wasn't as if he's putting his whole
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			hand in the food to get it dirty.
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:07
			Right? This is more a way of eating
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			to keep,
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:11
			your food and keep your hand clean. And
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			the purpose of this is actually cleanliness,
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			and you could say portion control in the
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			sense because you don't wanna also be stuffing
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			your mouth with too much. Right? So portion
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			control, these three fingers, and then keeping it
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			neat.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:26
			So if it's neater for you to eat
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			with utensils, then by all means, say make
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30
			that intention that I'm eating in a way
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:32
			to keep it, you know, more neat to
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			follow the sun of of, cleanliness.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:38
			Hadith 141 from also from Kaban Malik.
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			This ties the last two together.
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:43
			The messenger of Allah would eat with his
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			3 blessed fingers, and he would lick them,
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:47
			as we said, three times.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:50
			Number 142 from Musa bimin Soleim
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			He said, I heard Anas bin Malik, brother
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			Juan Jose,
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56
			some dates were brought to the messenger of
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:57
			Allah
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			I saw him eating them whilst he was
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:04
			leaning back on something out of hunger.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			So there's sometimes that he would actually have
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			to lean back because of how hungry they
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:11
			were. Right? In Madinah, they
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			did not have much food
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			most of the year. Right?
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:15
			Dates
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			harvested once a year. They would sometimes have
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			milk. They would sometimes have barley. We'll talk
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			about that in a second. But there were
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:25
			periods of intense hunger that the Sahaba went
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:25
			through.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:26
			And the prophet
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:28
			never told them that, you know, I'm gonna
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:29
			make you rich in the dunya.
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:31
			Dunya was not his concern.
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			Right? So they they endured that with him,
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			and he was one of those people that
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			was always hungry
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			But he would lean back and eat. So
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			we know that. He would not lay down
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			or recline on his side and eat
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:47
			but he was, you know, he would, either
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:50
			sit forward in a way that we'll describe
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			later, or he would also lean back and
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53
			eat sometimes as well.
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			Chapter 25, the description of the bread
		
00:41:59 --> 00:41:59
			that Rasulullah
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:01
			used to eat. I think this is the
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			last chapter.
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			Hadith number 143 from Aisha
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:09
			She said that the family of Muhammad
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:14
			never ate their fill of barley bread
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			2 days in a row
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			up until the soul of the messenger of
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			Allah
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:20
			was taken.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			Right?
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			So never
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			had a full stomach for more than a
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:26
			day.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:29
			Right? They had a full stomach one day,
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			then the next day, they didn't have food.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:33
			Not because they couldn't, but or not because
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			they, you know, they didn't want to. Obviously,
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			people would want to eat, but they just
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			didn't have food to go around. There wasn't
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41
			a lot of food. They lived in this
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:42
			intense,
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			you know,
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:48
			not self imposed with this intense period of
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:51
			of just hunger. Right? They're always hungry. So
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			it was then it was part of their.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:54
			Right?
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			So he never ate
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			a full stomach of barley bread,
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			right, 2 days in a row.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:05
			Hadith number 144 from Sulayim ibn Abin, he
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:06
			says,
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:08
			I heard Abu Umama
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:12
			say there was never any extra barley bread
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:14
			left in the house of the messenger of
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			Allah
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:17
			And from ibn Abbas
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:20
			he says that the messenger of Allah
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:22
			and his family
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:24
			would spend consecutive
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:26
			nights extremely hungry
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:29
			They would not find anything to eat for
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:29
			supper.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			The most common form of bread that they
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:34
			would eat was barley bread.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			And then we have a little more, this
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			is actually a very interesting hadith.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			146 from Abu Hazem, He
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:45
			says that Sahil ibn Saad was asked,
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:47
			did the messenger of Allah
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			ever eat bread made from fine flour, meaning
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			finely ground flour?
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			Sahal replied, the messenger of Allah
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58
			did not ever see fine flour.
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			He never even saw it
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			until he passed away, until he met Allah.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:05
			Exalted and sublime is he.
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:09
			Then he was asked, did you have sieves
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:11
			during the time of the messenger of Allah
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			So, you know, you put the flour in
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:14
			the sieve and then you you shake it
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:17
			so that the small fine pieces come out.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			He says, we did not even have sieves.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:23
			Then he asked, so how did you make
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			bread with barley?
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			He replied, we would blow into it. And
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:30
			whatever large particles of barley would fly out,
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:33
			that would be what was, what flew out.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			And we would knead the rest into dough.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			Let's just say dough. It was autocorrect.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40
			We'd knead the rest of it into dough.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:41
			Right?
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			So they never ate
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			fine bread
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			in their life,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			in the life of the
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			prophet They never even ate fine bread.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:54
			They ate very coarse, very rough barley bread.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			Right? I have a picture of that in
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			a second.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59
			He says,
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:01
			the prophet of Allah
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:04
			never ate upon a small table or from
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:05
			a small plate,
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:08
			and thin bread was never baked for him.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:09
			So when they would eat, they would eat
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			these small,
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:13
			really tough loaves of barley bread. They didn't
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			even cut them. They just ate from them.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:18
			I, the narrator speaking here,
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:20
			who's named Eunice
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			Al Scaf. He asked,
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:25
			so what did they eat on? Right? On
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:26
			what did they eat, he said they used
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:28
			to eat on these round mats, which are
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:29
			called the sufra.
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:31
			They still in in some places in the
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33
			world, they still put that out, you know,
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:35
			a mat on the ground and you eat
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			off of the mat.
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			That's what they would eat in the time
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			of the prophet. There was no, you know,
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			probably not any furniture like this in the
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:42
			house
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44
			of the messenger of
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:49
			And then the last hadith for today, I
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			believe, from he
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			said, one day I went to visit Aisha
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56
			and she asked for some food to be
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58
			brought to me. Then she said,
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:01
			I do not eat my fill of food
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			and then wish to cry except that I
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:05
			cry. I asked, why is that?
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:08
			She replied, I remember the condition in which
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09
			the messenger of Allah
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:11
			left this world.
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			By Allah, he never ate his fill of
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:17
			bread and meat twice in the same day.
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:21
			So this is Aisha saying this that, you
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:23
			know, now after the death of the prophet,
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:27
			interestingly enough, the first thing that changed was
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28
			the food.
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			The first change that happened from the lifestyle
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:32
			of the prophet
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			was the food that they ate.
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			They started to after this, they actually started
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:37
			to get sieves,
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			And they started to make their flour
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			finer and nicer and softer.
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			And then later on, like this, some of
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:44
			the remembered,
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:47
			wait. We didn't used to live like this.
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:49
			We used to live, you know, in in
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:50
			much more austerity
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:52
			in the life in the lifetime of the
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			prophet.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			So this is the first thing that changed.
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:58
			And some of the Sahaba noticed that, you
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			know, because of this, they actually said our
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:00
			people have grown weaker.
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:04
			Right? They've become more accustomed to luxury. That
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:06
			was considered luxurious for them to have fine
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			bread. Right?
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:11
			And so here's you can see a picture.
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:13
			This is what barley bread probably would look
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:15
			like in their day and age.
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:17
			So you can see the course the the
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19
			whole chunks of barley are still there. Right
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21
			on the picture on the right. In the
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:22
			picture on the right, if I'm not mistaken,
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:25
			is an attempt to make ancient barley bread.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27
			It probably would have looked something like this.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:28
			On the left side, you can see
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:32
			how dense the bread actually is. Right? It's
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:34
			not light. It doesn't have holes. It's not
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:34
			airy.
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			Right? It's actually a challenge to eat
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:39
			to an extent. And we'll see in the
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41
			next chapter inshallah on Wednesday.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:44
			The prophets also would often because their bread
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:46
			was so tough and so coarse and hard,
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			it would often dip them into things. Right?
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50
			So that make that a little bit softer
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:51
			to eat.
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			And, yeah, that's where we'll stop for today.
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:57
			I know we started a bit late today.
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			Hopefully,
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			next time, we'll start a bit earlier because
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:02
			we were recording some other things.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			I want to aim to finish by no
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			later than 7 inshallah every day. If we
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:08
			need to even do that, we'll try to
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:09
			keep it even shorter than that.
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:11
			Everyone inshallah, please
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			share this class. You know, tell your friends
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:16
			about it so we can share more of
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:18
			the knowledge of the lifestyle of the prophet
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			and someone asked me, why are you doing
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23
			this series during Ramadan?
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:24
			I said,
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:27
			where is your Ramadan without Rasulullah SAW?
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30
			Anything that you do in this deen, you
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:31
			owe a debt to Rasulullah
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35
			SAW. Right? So don't think that anything in
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:36
			his deen is disconnected
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:38
			from the prophet, sassam,
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:41
			from his reality. Right? We are Muslims because
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:44
			we follow the prophet, sassam. It's not as
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:46
			if the two things came separate.
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:47
			Right?
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:49
			So that's why we're that's why we're doing
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:52
			this. Right? Because in every opportunity that we
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:53
			have, we can learn more about.
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:57
			We ask a lot to forgive our sins.
		
00:48:57 --> 00:48:58
			We ask a lot to forgive
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:01
			all the mistakes that we've made. And we
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			ask a lot for any
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			intention or unintentioned
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:09
			act that we've done against the sunnah of
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			the prophet. We ask a lot to forgive
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			us. We ask a lot to teach us.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			We ask a lot to imbue us with
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:16
			the character of the prophet
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			and be torches for
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			the,
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:20
			of the prophet
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:22
			in these days. We ask Allah to forgive
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			us, guide us. And by reading this text,
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			we ask Allah in this blessed month of
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:28
			Ramadan to show us the prophet
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:29
			in our dreams
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			in We'll see you on Wednesday.
