00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			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?
