I have a question I gave 1000 purse $1,000 to a person who was

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

afterwards ungrateful and hurtful to me. I've been making dua

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

against them for a few months Oof. Well, I don't know what the type

00:00:10 --> 00:00:14

of hurt that you are talking about, in general, a loss potata

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

tells us and sorts of Bukhara specifically that when we give

00:00:17 --> 00:00:22

charity to somebody, it should not be followed up reminders of the

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

good that we did for somebody. So it's a note. When Allah spent

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

Allah talks about the if, right, this was the thing that occurred

00:00:28 --> 00:00:33

where the slander upon Aisha Radi Allahu Taala on her and Abu Bakr,

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

Abu Bakr is her father. So naturally, he's very emotionally

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

affected by the slander against his daughter that she did

00:00:38 --> 00:00:44

something improper. Now, Abu Bakar he was he had a relatively Mr. and

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

Miss thought was poor. So Abu Bakar was financially taken care

00:00:48 --> 00:00:53

of Mr. However, Miss thaw got involved in the if he actually was

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

one of those people who are spreading. He didn't originate it,

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

but he was spreading the slander against that issue. So when Abu

00:00:59 --> 00:01:04

Bakar realized this person who he was financially supporting was

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

actually spreading the slander against his daughter, he cut him

00:01:06 --> 00:01:10

off, and he swore by a law that he would not support him financially

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14

anymore. So Allah subhanaw taala revealed in that Surah that he

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

should not do that, that he should continue to support. And the

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

reason why is because is your donation truly for the sake of

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

Allah? Or is it transactional? Are their expectations that are coming

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

along with that donation? Are we expecting when we give someone

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

something that they're going to treat us nice in return, if we

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

have an expectation that is attached to our donation, then our

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

donation isn't 100% for Allah subhanaw to audit in the first

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

place and shake up the lesson Peter used to tell us in Medina,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

if you give something to someone in charity, you should be prepared

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

basically, for them to spit in your face. This is the way to

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

prove that you're sincere and not actually doing business in the

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

sense transactional sense like trading it for favors or good

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

treatment or anything like that. It's a very hard thing and it's a

00:01:57 --> 00:02:02

subtle thing. It's not so but that excludes a situation in which the

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

harm was was extremely serious, but that's an important thing to

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

keep in mind. Rasanya That's That's true. It might be better

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

for you. Honestly, Allah's found out I might be doing something

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

good for you. And that's actually the phraseology that he uses and

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

sorts of neurons to talk about the if in general don't think that

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

this is bad for you. Actually, this is good for you. You're not

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

insincere Ruslan, if it happened to Abu Bakar have we had that

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

happen that Abu Bakr then of course, it's going to happen to

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

you and me. It's just that, you know, the nature of a Muslim is

00:02:28 --> 00:02:33

that we forget, we're reminded that's what we're tested on. When

00:02:33 --> 00:02:37

we're reminded do we come back so we're all in the same in the same

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

boat?
