The prophet sallallah.aihi sallallahu
alaihi wasallam was a human being and he
was the perfect human being. So this
means that if he saw something he did
not like,
he may use this
to express his feelings.
And when he expresses his feelings, it's
not something worldly. It's always for a
wisdom and for the best.
Either to teach people, either to fix
what was wrong. And he may do this by
advising,
by scalding.
You can see this in his face. So he used
to rebuke others to correct how they
dealt with different situations.
But he did it in the most perfect way.
Massive Malik may Allah be pleased with
him says I've served the prophetatam
for 10 years
and never he said to me of
expressing his
disapproval of something and never he
said to me why did you do this for
something I had done or hadn't you done
so and so for something I did not do 10
years
serving the prophetam
and not to hear such words of rebuke
from him. That's
a lot.
That's shows you what caliber the
prophet wasallam was.
And it shows that
to
stop blaming people for something that
has already gone and it's in the past.
There's no use of it. So move on.
Some people keep on insisting, adding
insult to injury. Why did you do this?
Why did you do that? You should not have
done this.
It's gone. It's over with. Move on.
But no, they just want to stay in such
stagnant water. The prophet sallallam
was never like that and he was always
doing whatever he is doing to
direct people how to behave. Allahel
says in the Quran, "And remember when
the prophet confided to one of his wives
a statement and when she informed
another of his wives that is of it and
Allah showed it to him, he made known
part of it to her and ignored part of
it. This beautiful
characteristic is known as
It is to pretend that you've not seen
it, not heard it, to look the other way.
And that was the way of the prophetatam
when she leaked a secret of the
prophetam to one of his co-wives to
other wives and Allah revealed the whole
scenario to him. When he told her about
it, he told her a portion of it. Did not
tell her the whole thing because that
would have embarrassed her a lot. And
the prophet did not want to do that.
Sallam.
May Allah have mercy on his soul. He
said, "An honorable person does not
investigate.
He does not go and try to find the root
cause and expose all cards.
In the long hadith of Omar and this is a
hadith mother Aisha tells us how
communication was between her and the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
She in a very very long hadith tells us
that she was telling the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam about 10
women who met and started
chitchatting about
the virtues of their husbands to one
another. So she was telling the
description of each and every woman
woman to the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam and one of the women said my
husband when he enters he's a leopard
and when he exits the house he's a lion
and he does not ask
about
things in the house. Meaning when he
enters the house, he is a leopard.
Meaning he comes stealthly,
quietly, doesn't make a bank, does not
make a noise. He sleeps and relaxes,
doesn't cause any chaos. But when he
exits the house in his bravery and
strength, he's like a lion for those
outside of the house. And he doesn't
ask, "Uh, where is the blender I bought
two years ago? Where is this? Where is
that?" No, whatever he sees is okay with
it. Whatever he doesn't see, he wouldn't
investigate.
And this shows how generous he is and
how he turns a blind eye to whatever may
not be to his liking.
The prophetat wasallam would
rebuke
his wives in order to teach them.
We all know the story when the Jews used
to come and visit the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam. They used to twist
words
as they usually do and saysum
instead of
andam
means death.
So they twist the word instead of saying
peace be upon you they say death may be
upon you. And the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam turns a blind eye to that and
he saysum
and upon you.
He doesn't sayum
no no he said whatever you said to me is
upon you. One day, mother Aisha could
not hold back and she cursed them and
said bad words to them
for what they're saying. And the prophet
said, "Asha,
me, hold on. What's happening?" She
said, "Oh, prophet of Allah, can't you
hear what they're saying?" He said, "I I
hear what they're saying, but I sayum
Allah responds to my answer to them."
meaning death be upon you and not to
their dua and uh um invocation against
me. Allah doesn't respond to that. Oh,
be gentle and kind and stay away from
violence and vulgar words and profanity.
Likewise,
the most beloved of his companions to
his heart and the son of his beloved
companions who was his adopted son
before adoption was abregated. So he
loved us as he loved his own
grandchildren.
One day Usama was coming back from an
expedition and he was telling the
prophet how victorious they were and the
prophet was happy and joyful
and Usama was telling him how the battle
went on
till he reached
a stage where he told him about
that man who he had a duel with
and he was a strong warrior. So they
exchanged blows
and when Usama almost over
came him
and
almost killed him. When the man felt
that he was going to be killed, he
saidillah
he declared the testimony of and truth
of Islam.
embracing Islam. Now, imagine you're in
the midst of a battle and you're
exchanging a fights and blows with
someone who wants to kill you. And just
as you were about to finish him off, he
saidillah.
So, said wallah, I did not hesitate. I
stabbed him with my spear and I killed
him.
The prophet
hearing this
sat straight
with a straight face and he said,
"Osama,
you killed him after he saidahillah."
And I said, "Oh, prophet of Allah, he
didn't say it to embrace Islam. He was
just protecting himself."
He said, "You killed him after he
saidahill."
And he kept on repeating this over and
over again until I said to myself, I
wish I did not become a Muslim except on
that day. Meaning that Allah would
forgive all my previous sins and I would
revert to Islam today because I knew
that I did something extremely bad.
Subhan Allah. Rebuking Osama in such a
fashion which some of us may think that
it was a bit a bit harsh
benefited us at the best when there was
this conflict between
and
may Allah be peace with them. He did not
join any of their two armies and he
refrained
from fighting and taking sides.
Abned was also involved in another
rebuke when one
of Beni Makum, a woman stole money from
people who entrusted her with and the
prophet ruled that her hand would be
amputated.
So they went to Usama knowing how close
he was to the prophetam and asking him
to intercede.
Usama went to the prophet and said if
you would have some leniency
on that woman. The prophet was outraged
and he saidama are you interceding in
one of the prescribed punishments of
allahel.
Then he went to the pulpit and gave a
speech sallallahu alaihi wasallam saying
that those before you Allah destroyed
them because they
used to overlook
when one of their dignitaries
stole
while enforcing the prescribed
punishment on the poor and those who are
not of
authority.
By Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of
Muhammad, were to steal, I would have
chopped her hand off. If my own flesh
and blood
would have stolen money, I would have
amputated and cut off her hand as a
punishment. And all of this shows us
that rebuking. And there are so many uh
uh uh stories and hadiths that we could
benefit of. But unfortunately our time
is almost up. And we learn from this
that we have to know how to teach people
and how to balance our kindness, our
softness, our tolerance with how to
teach and when not to pay attention and
look the other way. Not every time we
have to stop and correct others.
Sometimes we have to move on. Your wife
says something that is offensive. Don't
make a fuss out of it and cause
problems.
Maybe she has something that disturbed
her and made her say such a comment.
Look the other way. Pretend you did not
hear it. She will remember that for you.
She knows that you heard it and you did
not react negatively to it and she would
learn a good lesson from that. And with
this we conclude with the grace of Allah
the final lesson of the fourth semester
of our classes on s I pray to allahel
that he would benefit me and you of it
raise our levels in Jenna grant us great
reward and also grant us the blessing
and favor of imitating our prophetat am
to excel in our character and to be
close to him on the day of judgment.
