السلام عليكم أستاذ
وعليكم السلام
"I want to know your opinion about
a "funky" preacher who's being viral."
"He said that the Prophet's wife, Aisyah,
was a funky woman, a real traveller."
"And the term to be a pious woman
is a woman's weight shall be 55 kg."
"He also said that the Prophet Moses was
the preman [thug] among the apostles.
"Is it true?"
"How should we react?"
Only Allah knows. I think
the preacher saying this...
...we shall think positively,
he did not mean to discredit Aisyah RA.
Even less to discredit
the Prophet Moses AS.
A preacher won't have that kind
of intention.
Because whoever has the intention
to discredit...
...the Prophet Moses AS, he's blaspheming
according to the scholars.
I don't think, and we have to be fair,
that he intended...
...to discredit the Prophet Moses
or Aisyah RA.
However, this term is not appropriate
to be addressed to a Prophet.
Preman, even in our language
has a negative meaning.
In Indonesian dictionary,
preman has negative meanings.
Let's see what preman means.
I have a dictionary here.
If there is a postive meaning,
we shall refer to that one.
But if there is nothing
but negative meanings...
...we shall not use the term...
...for a noble Prophet.
PREMAN
"Preman" is a term to designate criminals,
mugger, robber, etc.
So, its meaning...
...known mostly by the people,
and in Indonesian language...
And even among the Indonesian people,
it has negative meanings.
So, it is not appropriate that we use
the term for the Prophet Moses AS.
Even though perhaps, he meant that
the Prophet Moses was brave.
He was the champion in fighting.
But still, the term "preman"
is not appropriate for ...
...a noble Prophet, the Prophet of Allah
Moses AS.
Next, related to Aisyah RA.
We want to criticize the term used
to designate Aisyah RA.
She was called "funky/sociable."
"a funky girl" is not appropriate either.
It insinuates negative meaning.
A "funky girl" gives the impression
that she went out a lot.
Here and there.
I don't think there is anyone invokating
"O Allah, make my daughter funky."
Does someone wish that?
I don't think so.
No one invokes Allah
"O Allah, make my son a thug."
Those terms have negative meanings.
I don't think that he meant...
...to discredit Aisyah. He meant that
Aisyah RA was a sociable person.
He meant it that way.
However, the term "funky girl"
is not appropriate.
As for the term "traveller",
this also has..
...negative impressions.
Because the Prophet's wives...
...did not go out.
They applied Allah's order:
وقرن في بيتكن
"Stay at your homes."
Saying that Aisyah was a traveller
seems inappropriate.
It would be better if he clarifies it,
rather than sticking with these terms.
These terms are inappropriate
for these noble persons.
They are dwellers of Paradise,
like Aisyah, radiyallahu 'anha.
Next, about Aisyah's weight, 55 kg.
This is weird.
How did he know that Aisyah's weight
was 55 kg?
What is his reference saying
that her weight was 55 kg?
There is no reference at all.
If there was a reference saying...
...that her cart weighted 55 kg...
If it weighted 55 kg, what is the relation
with her weight being 55 kg?
Why would Aisyah's weight be compared
to a cart's weigh?
First, before you compare Aisyah's weight
with a cart's weight...
...how did you know that
Aisyah's cart's weight weighted 55 kg?
Got it?
Who knew the shape of a cart
during the period of the Prophet?
While the size of a sa' nabawi,
there are different opinions among scholars.
And this is the Islamic law to measure
zakat, and there are a lot of opinions.
How would be the measurement?
Even less for a cart that has no relation
with the law.
Did you see a cart
in the Prophet ﷺ's era?
No one knows its weight.
So, what is the relation between
a cart's weight and Aicha's weight?
Is it because the cart weighted 55 kg,
so Aisyah's weight was also 55 kg?
What is the relation? It is illogical.
What is the relation
between Aicha's weight and a cart's weight?
So, Aisyah radiyallahu anha...
...in a narration when she...
...was accused to commit adultery...
She was late, so the companions
lifted the cart.
They had thought that Aicha was already
in the cart, while she wasn't.
Since she was thin...
...they had thought
that she was in already.
The cart was lifted on the camel,
and the camel left.
The companions thought that Aicha was
in the cart that might have been closed.
No one could see whether
there was anyone in it or not.
Aisyah said...
وكانت النساء خفافا
The ladies were thin at that time.
Aisyah wanted to explain that
"I was also thin."
That when she was not in the cart...
"People thought that I was in there,
while I wasn't."
However, we can't determine
that Aisyah's weight was 55 kg.
Perhaps it was less than 55 kg.
It can be more than that.
We don't need to state a certain number if we can't find a reference.
And that would make us a liar.
In a hadith from Abu Dawud
and others...
Aisyah said that the Prophet ﷺ
asked Aisyah for a race.
So, when, Rasulullah ﷺ
were walking with the companions...
The Rasulullah said...
تقدموا
"You all go first."
After the companions were away,
the Rasulullah said...
يا عيشة تعالي أسبقك
"Let's have a race."
So, the Rasulullah ﷺ
raced with Aisyah.
Aicha said
و كنت جارية
لم أحمل اللحم و لم لأبد
"I was a teenager."
"I was not fat."
So, Aisyah won the race.
Long after that, that Aisyah forgot
about the race with the Prophet.
So, it was long after.
فلم
كنت احمل اللحم
"When I was heavier," said Aisyah.
The scholars interpreted this...
"When I was fat...
...Rasulullah ﷺ asked me
to race again, and I lost.
The Prophet laughed and said...
هذه بتلك
"This is to repay my loss."
Rasulullah ﷺ laughed.
This is a reference that
Aisyah got heavier after that.
If she weighted 55, that means
afterward she weighted 75 kg?
We don't know, what was her weight
when she was thin, or no longer thin.
So, perhaps he was joking.
It was not serious.
He meant well.
However...
One shall keep on following the law.
Do not fall into...
...a joke that is false.
This is an example of a false joke.
There is no relation between...
...a woman's piety with her weight.
"After I weighted myself,
it turns out I am not pious."
So, there is no relation
between one's weight and his/her piety.
A woman might be fat and pious.
A woman might be thin, but sinful.
