For tonight.
It is
and also an invitation
to see this big heart.
The heart of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
The heart that was able to accommodate
all his companions
and makes everyone feel special.
As if that person that closes to him
salallahu alaihi wasallam.
And our story
is related to a man, a companion by
the name
of
and they live outside Medina.
You know where is Masjid Quba today?
Around that area.
It's was known not long time ago, those
who used to go to Mecca in our
Medina,
like, 10 years ago or something like that,
it's called Masjid Al Jumu'ah.
It was known. It was now removed
with the new road that the expansion that
they made.
That's their areas.
Anyway, he used to lead and to pray
to lead his people and to pray with
his people. They have the Musallah that they
pray. And when the Jumu'ah comes, everybody come
to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam masjid.
But in the daily prayers, they they they
pray there.
So
he became
My sight became weak. I can't see properly.
There is a valley between me and the
play of the Musa Allah, the Masjid. When
the valley filled with water, flood with water,
I can't cross it and I can't see
properly, I can't get my way around.
So
he decided to pray at home.
But before he prayed at home
he had this wish in his heart.
I want to take a masjid and place
of salah in my house.
But I want the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam to pray there first
then I pray afterwards.
I want the first one to pray in
this
is the Prophet
So he goes on Friday pray with the
Prophet
He prayed Jumuah with the prophet
Then he told the prophet what I just
told you.
Immediately
told him,
Afar. No problem, Insha'Allah
I will.
And Insha'Allah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam is not like my inshallah.
You know, when you say inshallah, I mean,
it's not gonna happen.
You know? When somebody tell you, will you
do this? Tell some
You know? And he chased you for years,
and he keeps saying inshallah, inshallah, inshallah.
How fast respond? How he fast Yeah. His
response was so bad. In the day before
Duhar, on Saturday,
Nabi
knocking on his door.
And with him, guess what? Abu Bakr and
Umar.
Eitzban
was surprised by how fast the prophet wasallam
coming and he wanted to imagine how
special that made him.
Anil Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam the first thing
he walked to the house,
Before we sit down where do you want
me to pray?
Here. Then goes
and Ijban call his family
to pray behind the opportunity.
He called his family to come to pray
behind the prophet
So the prophet led Ishband
and his family and his companion
in that spot that he wants to take
as a
in an spacious area in his house.
And in
after he finish,
about to leave
We have to honour you as a guest.
It's like a so soup
a soup that it is made of wheat
and a lot pieces of meat. It's one
of
the low grade
kind of food, any very
basics only very poor people eat this kind
of food in Madinah at that time. Poor
man's who.
Poor man's who.
So he
said, bring
it.
Waiting for the food to be ready.
Everybody in the tribe heard
that were at its man's house.
People will start gathering.
Until a good number of people gathered.
Then in Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wasalam talking to
them and who is missing? Who is that?
Fakal Rajul.
Who is missing? So somebody said,
I don't remember right now. He mentioned
He's missing.
He said You Rasulullah, he's a hypocrite and
he don't worry about him.
Said
with a firm tone,
The prophet respond
with a very firm tone. He said, but
this man bear witness that
And Allah have forbid the the hellfire
to touch
the skin or the body of someone who
would say
I testify not say, I testify that Allah
is the only one worthy of worship and
he doing this seeking the reward from Allah
sincerely.
Another man or the same man.
Then he said,
this man
we know,
we only see him friend
and hang out with the hypocrites.
He only have a good relationship with them.
He talked to them. He visit them. He
socialize with them. He's with the hypocrites.
Then
in
the peace all repeat what he said.
He says, La ilaha illallah and Allah will
not
let the hellfire
touch someone who bear witness that Allah is
the only worthy of worship if you're saying
it for the sake of Allah.
And the gathering ended right there.
This story, there is so many lessons
to reflect upon.
And I just give you the lead
and you
think more deeper about it.
One of the social change that we have
in our days today.
Generosity
is not any more generosity in our culture.
Generosity is the cliff as we say. Generosity,
it became burden.
Yeah. And if somebody wanna be generous, he
feel it's a bird. Generosity in general a
bird, but I I mean that literally a
bird. Yeah. I mean, you wanna invite people
to the house, it's a bird. It's a
work for a whole week. You have to
bring maids and you have to bring and
you have to make, you know, oh, that's
not enough. I have to make 10 different
type of food. I have to make this
and I have to make that. I have
to invite everybody. If I wanna give you
a gift it has to be a big
deal of a gift. If I have to
do it has to be big thing.
Somebody yesterday made me so happy. He said,
Sheikh, I want to gift you something. I
said, wow one like gift. He made me
so happy with the gift. The gift was
pickles.
He said, I have pickles for you.
I said, yeah,
salam.
You feel the you feel this generosity,
you give the simple it's not about big
things. Oh my god. I have to no.
What happened when this social norm changed?
We're not generous anymore. We don't invite each
other anymore. We don't give each other gifts
anymore.
Why? Because it has to be big things,
has to be valuable things. So what happened?
It became less and less and less and
less versus old days it was upper. That's
why the man did not have a problem
to invite the prophet over something
poor man's
He lived 50 years after the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
He's
still telling the story, I'm proud of it.
After he became rich type, in that time
he was poor. After Allah and he became
rich, he did not feel shame that he
was poor and he gave this
We always say that you give from what
you have.
Something I need to reflect upon. There is
a lot more than this point but the
main point. Another point to see
how
the have this
full access to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
Sometimes
he feels shame of himself.
When people ask him to come to this,
to visit me, do this, I
have this, I have that, you know, talk
to my secretary, tell my
You know there is a lot of like
distance and you feel it's become so hard
to access people especially
I'll tell you something, if you want to
be a leader you have to be accessible.
If you wanna be a true leader in
any in your job, in your work, in
your in your in your business, in your
community, in your country, you have to. That's
why you see all these elected officials, they
have to be accessible.
And and and I will say this if
you want to be a leader inside your
house to have to be accessible to your
kids too
and easy to be approach and you know
when you've been approach also you are available.
With all what he has, he answer his
call just to go to pray to work
on his house.
And needs the distance.
He goes all the way. And guess what?
Next day,
action.
Absolutely.
That's what you call yes, man.
You know some people have this face yes
man.
He is a yes man. You know when
you approach him you're gonna say yes. People,
no.
Don't approach,
you know? You know the answer is not
gonna
we have a say, honey. Me and my
friend about somebody we know.
He said, he make you slide.
You will never get anything out of him.
He will let you go on empty hand.
He will never give you what you want.
Anyway,
another thing to reflect upon,
I will then,
quickly something to reflect on between my main
point. My my the point that quick to
be said.
People from all time
have fascinated about putting you in a box.
Is a hypocrite
but nobody ask you anything, nobody
did not ask anything about this but there's
something in people in nature.
Oh, he is this group, he is salah,
he is Madriesh, he immediately willing to put
you in a box
and that's not a good attitude, that's not
a good akhlaq. I know it's something natural
in people and
common but that's not a good adab, not
a good etiquette to box people and put
them in frame and you have to find
a frame for them to put them in
that box and you start dealing with them
based on those. Because when you start doing
this, you judge people in a in a
very wrong way and you will never see
the good in them. But anyway, look at
the Prophet SAWALAM respond,
What surprised me the most,
how Nabi SAW defended
Malik ibn Jash by
saying that this man say
which is something every muslim say.
Did not mention something unique about Malik
And if you wanna know who's Malik in
the
The people of Badr, Allah says to them
whatever you do, you are forgiven.
The people of Badr all in Jannah. So
impossible to be hypocrite. And could easily said
he's from Ahl Badr. He impossible to be
a head worker.
Is the one that sent to destroy the
masjid of the hypocrites.
The symbolic of the yeah. And he is
free from hypocrisy 100%.
Yet did not mention anything of that. He
said what? What we all share. You know
why?
Because sunnabi salallam want to teach us a
lesson
that what protect your arud, what protect your
honor, what protect your reputation. It doesn't have
to be something so special. It's enough to
be a Muslim. It's enough to say la
ilaha illallah. It's enough to be among the
Muslimeel and the mumineel.
That's enough. To
protect your honor, to protect your reputation,
to watch your tongue carefully before you talk
about someone.
I wish that lessons are learned today.
And will I have a lot in my
head to say but I don't wanna keep
you long. What are you doing? You
know? But but there is a lot to
be said a lot to be said about
how he was accused just because he has
a good relationship with the hypocrites.
And the reason I did not deny that
he
has
members of Al Khazrat.
And Nabi did not isolated the hypocrite.
It's it's it's a it's a genius how
the prophet
have
and he didn't allow the hypocrisy to grow.
It's 1 generation would die, died with it.
Today, see, I mean this is also nowadays.
There are a lot of people accused just
because they have a good relationship with people,
just because
because he doesn't have the same maybe political
position that you have, maybe he has another
approach, maybe there is so much to be
lessons from
but
This big heart, the heart that cares for
every member of his
community. I just can't imagine
Malik Abdul Jabez when he heard about what
happened, how the Prophet defended his honor and
his absence.
I just can't imagine how he felt, you
know.
Can you imagine if Nabi kept quiet?
I bet you anything that can push the
guy to to the man to go to
hypocrisy.
Insha'Allah, we continue in another story with the
prophet sallallahu alaihi. Thank you very much.
