Alhamdulillah.
The prophet sallallah.aii
Alaihi Wasallam was a human being.
And as he rejoices,
as he jokes around with his friends
every now and then, he also becomes
angry at times.
And it's not human not to become angry
on
other ways of looking at it.
If you say that someone doesn't become
angry, this person has a deficiency
because when someone attacks your wife
or daughter, if someone insults you and
you don't become angry, there's
something wrong with you.
The prophetat wasam was the perfect
human being.
However, his anger was not like ours.
His anger was directed towards the
things that go against the religion.
His face used to go red and he used to
become angry only when sins were
committed
and transgression was against Allah's
Sharia.
And this is why mother Aisha explained
that and she said that the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam did not seek
revenge for himself ever unless the
sacred limits of Allahawel has been
transgressed against. So only
then he would seek vengeance for the
religion and not for himself.
There are some cases where the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam
became angry.
For example,
when he heard
two of his companions arguing and their
voices are
rising
because they were disputing over a verse
of the Quran.
So he came out of his chamber and he was
obviously angry. We could see it in his
face. And he said that those who came
before you were destroyed only because
of their argument about the Quran, about
their book, about their scripture. And
you're almost doing the same thing. So
it's not as we cannot discuss the Quran
and
learn it among ourselves about the
different opinions of scholars. This is
a healthy sign. But what is not
permissible is to argue and you bring a
verse from here and a verse from there
just to prove your point. though you
know that this is not the truth and that
would cause division in the um and we
see this visibly nowadays when we hear
people interpreting the Quran and
they're famous on some media platforms
or social media and they come
as if they have the authority
to give taps of the Quran and interpret
the Quran. And at times
you can tell these guys never learned
taps from trusted scholars. They've
never sat down with trusted scholars to
learn it from. However, they come and
speak with authority and they say that
there is no this, there is no that. And
all of this
shows you that
it is a cause for the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam to be angry with such
people.
The prophet sallallaihi wasallam also
got angry when he heard his companions
disputing about destiny and Allah's
divine decree
and he was so angry when they were
discussing it he came out and he said is
this what you were ordered by is this
what I was sent to you with is this why
you were created? You are striking the
Quran
by itself.
Those before you were only destroyed
when they argued about this and in these
matters. I command you, I order you, I
urge you not to argue about it. Why?
This is Allah's
secret.
The prophet said, "Whenever decree or
predestiny is mentioned, you have to
refrain. Stop. Don't argue. Don't talk
about it." And a lot of the questions I
get are from people
confused.
If the divine decree has been already
decreed,
then why am I supposed to do this or do
that? Why am I punished if I do sins
when Allah has already pre-ordained it?
And people don't want to understand.
They want to justify their flaws and
shortcomings because Allah has already
written it upon them. How do you know
what Allah has written? Maybe Allah has
written that you become a Quran. Why
don't you go and memorize the Quran? Why
do you go to nightclubs and bars?
We can go on and speak about this. But
those who don't want to learn, they
would have a problem with such things.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
got angry when one of his companions,
may Allah be pleased with him, prolonged
prayer until one of the companions left
it and completed it by himself and went
to complete his errands.
And accused him of being a hypocrite.
The prophet sallall alaihi wasallam when
he heard about this was angered and
said, "Oh people among you there are
those who repel
Muslims from Islam. Whoever leads the
prayer should
make it easy in short so that he would
be mindful of those praying behind him.
Behind him there is those who are old,
those who are sick, though those who
have errands to go and complete.
Also the prophetat wasallam was angered
once when he was dividing
money to his companions and one of the
men stood up and said by Allah this is a
division that Allah's face was not
wanted or or or directed to.
He's accusing the prophet's intention
and he's accusing him of being unfair
and unjust. The prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam when he heard this
because Abdullah Masoud came and told
the prophet sallallaihi wasallam about
this incident. The prophet was furious.
He was so angry. Then he calmed down and
said, "May Allah have mercy on my
brother Musa." Prophet Musa. He was
abused.
He was accused.
He was wrong done more than this. And he
was patient
also when someone came to ask the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam about
waking up while in the state of
major ritual impurity.
and it's already after the break of
dawn. It's already after fudger and he
wants to fast. The prophet said to him,
I do this. There's no problem.
Go and have yourul pray fudger and
continue your fasting. The man said to
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
"Oh prophet of Allah, you're not like
us. Allah has forgiven your previous and
upcoming sins."
as if the man is telling the prophetam
that oh you're taking it easy because
Allah has forgiven you. The prophet got
angry because of his response
and he said by Allah I hope that I am
the most fearful of Allah among you and
the most knowledgeable in what I follow.
So don't say such words.
And finally, if the prophet saw
something, he would become angry.
And
in the hadith, he saw once a man wearing
a golden ring of his companions. The
prophet sallallaihi wasallam went to
him,
snatched the ring from his finger and
threw it on the ground saying why would
anyone take a stone of fire and place it
in his hand and left.
Also another incident Abdah may Allah be
pleased with him came to the prophetam
with two garments
of zaffron
dyed with zaffron and this what the
disbelievers and idol worshippers used
to do so it's a customs but there is a
prohibition from wearing such clothes so
when he came to the prophetat wasam the
prophet got angry And he says, I could
see the anger in his face. And he said
to me, your mom ordered you to wear
these. Immediately Abdullah acknowledged
that he did a a mistake. So he said, "Oh
prophet of Allah, should I wash them
off?"
And the prophet said, "No, burn them."
Washing them off could take the dye out
and you can still benefit from the
clothes. But the prophet reprimanded
himat wasam as he's not any companion.
He's a knowledgeable companion and he
said to him burn them.
What do we learn from all of this? We
learned that the prophet is a human
being.
One could argue and say well the prophet
could have said this in a softer manner
in this and that fear.
Do you think that the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam did not know that he
could have said it in a softer manner?
However, this is not wisdom.
The wisdom is to express your anger at
times when you need to do so and to
speak softly and diplomatically
when the time requires you do so. This
is wisdom.
So people
have to be dealt differently with
those who want to learn and did a
mistake for the first time and don't
have knowledge. You're soft with them
like the man who urinated in the masid.
The prophet did not scold him. He spoke
to him in a very nice way. But when we
see his companions who know, have
knowledge and are close to him, he dealt
with them in a different fashion
expressing his anger so that they would
not fall into that same mistake again.
