When we read the s of the prophetat
wasallam, we can't help ourselves
to love him more.
The way he lived
was so beautiful that we would sacrifice
our parents, our families, our wealth
just to be with him for a moment of
time.
Our prophet Isaam
sometimes joked with his companions
and sometimes his jokes were a bit
practical
but without
crossing the line.
A man came once to the prophetat wasam
and said, "Oh prophet of Allah,
I'd like to go for jihad. I'd like to
fight in the cause of Allah, but I'm
stone broke." So give me a ride from the
treasury of the Muslims. So the prophet
saidatam
I will give you the son of a she camel.
Now whoever hears this thinks that what
would I do with the son of a sheic
camel? So the man said, "Oh prophet of
Allah, what would I do with the son of a
she camel?" And the prophet said, "Come
on, isn't a camel a son of a she camel?"
So I did not indicate that it is a month
old. I just said it's a son of a she
camel. So the prophet pulled one over
this person
and may Allah be pleased with him says
the prophet onceam
came to our home and I had a younger
brother three or four years of age his
name is Abar
and he had a small bird in a cage
as a pet which died so he was a little
bit sad that. So the prophet would come
frequently over and over again. Every
time he saw my younger brother, he would
say, "Oh,
what did the young bird do?" And he
would say, "Oh, the prophet of Allah, he
died. He this, he that." And the prophet
would continue to remind him every now
and then until it became a joyful event
rather than a sad depressing one.
So may Allah be pleased with him says
that once I came and the prophet was
eating sallallahu alaihi wasallam some
dates and bread in front of him. So the
prophet said come and eat. So I started
to eat and the prophet noticed
something in one of my eyes. So he said
there's an infection in one of your
eyes. So suib said oh prophet of Allah
I'm eating on the other side.
Meaning I'm not looking to the food with
my infected eye. I'm eating from the
other side.
Also the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
had
one of his bedwin companions and his
name is Zaham
Zah whenever he came from the desert.
He used to bring gifts to the prophet
wasallam. And the prophet used to
appreciate that whenever he wanted to
set off after coming from the desert to
sell his goods, whenever he wanted to go
back to his uh uh uh tribe, the prophet
would also give him some gifts of his
own. One day the prophet went to the
market
and he saw Zahir selling some of his
goods.
So he came from behind him. He embraced
him so that he would not be able to
move. And
the prophetat wasam held him tight.
So Zahir would not know who's doing
this. He said let me go. Who's this? Let
me go.
And when he recognized
that it was the prophetat wasam, he kept
sticking his back to the prophet's
chest, not wanting to let go because he
felt
the love of the prophetat wasam.
And the prophet announced,
"Who would buy this slave from me?"
It's a practical joke. The prophet is
not selling him, but he's joking with
him and he's a slave of Allah. So the
prophet did not lie. So he said, "Who
would buy this slave from me?" Zahir
said, "Oh prophet of Allah, nobody's
going to buy me and you're going to lose
in this transaction. Who would buy
someone like me?" And the prophet
praised him and complimented him by
saying, "By Allah, you are not something
that would not be sold at the sight of
allahel.
at the sight of Allah, you are of great
value and you are expensive.
The prophetat
wasam
would joke with his servant Annis who
was a young boy 10 12 years of age and
whenever he called him or scalded him he
would say oh you the one with the two
ears.
Now some may be offended. Why are you
talking about me and saying that I'm
with two ears? All of us have two ears.
What's wrong with that? But this is the
way of the prophets joking with him. He
used to joke even with his wife Aisha
once they were in an expedition.
Aisha says, "I was young
and I did not carry any weight yet." So
the prophet said to his
uh uh companions, "Move forward, march
forward and leave me behind." And when
they were ahead of them
and the prophetam, the prophet said to
Aisha, "Oh Aisha, come let's race."
So she says I raced the prophetam and I
won
and the prophet sallall alaihi wasallam
did not say anything.
Few years later when I gained more
weight in another expedition the prophet
tell them told them march forward and
when they were ahead and could not see
them
she says I forgot all about the first
race. The prophet said come let's race
now. So I raced with the prophetam
and he won and he started to laugh and
he said this is by that
touche. So now we're even.
Mahm Rabir he was five years of age.
So he's one of the youngest companions
that narrated hadiths about the
prophetam. He says, "I remember when I
was 5 years of age, I came to the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam when he was
making woodoo and then while rinsing his
mouth from a bucket, he spit some of the
water in my face." This is what people
do in a joyful manner with children. He
says, "I remembered it." And this shows
you that the prophet would play with
youngsters, with young boys so that it
would
reflect and they would remember it later
on in the years.
Abi said that once I was lying on my
back on the soil in the masjid when the
prophet came to me and said, "Stand up,
oh father of dust."
And he started dusting me off from that
uh uh sand or dust that was on my back.
And he said wah this is the most beloved
nickname anyone had ever called me with.
Says the prophet came to me when I was
asleep and he said
no man. Oh the one who's sleeping stand
up wake up. So he would joyfully call
them names. Abuur
says sometimes a prophet would say
not the full name. He would cut the name
into halves. And the same with he would
sometimes call her
[Music]
not is
and all of these shows you how the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam used to
joke
with his companions bearing in mind that
he would never cross the limit. So he
would never lie to make people laugh,
which is prohibited. And he warned us
from this. And he would never mock
or be raceful
or speak about an ethnicity like people
do when they name a nationality and
accuse them of being stupid or accusing
them of being stingy and the likes,
looking down at people. He would also
prohibit
scaring people. So some people would
prank others by terrifying them or
scaring them. And this is totally
prohibited in Islam. It is not
permissible for a Muslim to scare
another Muslim. And he would always say
reduce the amount of laughter in your
life. In the hadith he said, "Oh,
reduce laughter for excessive laughter
kills the heart. It makes the heart
unable to
feel and sense
the re reality
of life which has an ending and we will
be accountable for what we have done."
