and welcome back.
Alhamdulillah.
My dear students, today is the 17th
edition in the fourth uh level of the
noble prophetic hadith. And today
inshallah we'll continue the second
segment of explaining hadith number 15,
the famous lengthy hadith which is
narrated by Abu.
Last time we explained the hadith except
for the last segment. Today inshallah we
will have a quick recap. Then inshallah
I explain the last segment and learn the
lessons learned from the hadith as a
whole. Abu
narrated that the messenger of Allah may
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him
said
do not envy one another. Do not
artificially inflate prices.
Do not hate one another. Do not forsake
one another. Do not undercut one another
and be oh slaves of Allah brothers.
Then he added, "The Muslim is a brother
of his fellow Muslim. He doesn't wrong
him, let him down or despise him." The
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
wasallam pointed with his hand to his
chest and said, "Piety is here." And he
repeated that twice. He also said it is
sufficient evil for a man to look down
on his Muslim brother. The whole of a
Muslim is sacred to another.
His blood, his wealth and his honor. The
whole of a Muslim is sacred to another
Muslim. His blood, his wealth and his
honor. Last session we stopped at how
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
pointed to his chest repeating twice.
Piety is here, piety is here, piety is
here. And we explain the meaning of
that. The last segment of the hadith
when the prophet sallall.aii Wasallam
said
it is sufficient evil for a man
indicating that this sin by itself is
sufficient to take a person to hellfire
to ruin him in the hereafter if he were
to do what? To despise to look down on
his Muslim brother.
Because the prophet sallallah.aii alaihi
wasallam said a person who has an atom
weight of shall not enter paradise is
pride and arrogance and he explained as
saying that
is to reject the truth that is arrogance
despising people and looking down at
people. It is sufficient evil for a man
to look down on his Muslim brother or
her Muslim sister
because is forbidden. Maybe this person
is better than you
or you believed.
Let no people mock at other people,
scuff at them, make fun of them
because maybe those whom you're making
fun of are better before Allah than you.
And he repeated the same with regards to
women.
Then the messenger of Allah, may Allah's
peace and blessings be upon him, added,
"The whole of a Muslim is sacred to
another Muslim."
The messenger of Allah in his farewell
speech asked the companions what day is
today? Which month is this? Which city
is that? In order to confirm to the
audience it is the day of it's a sacred
day in the month of the sacred month of
and it is in the sacred valley of Mina
day. Mina is a part of Mecca is a
sanctuary of the haram and
a combination of sacred day, sacred
month and sacred place. They said yes.
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said indeed
your honor, your wealth, your own selves
are all sacred.
and your blood referring to the
okay are all as sacred as the sacredness
of this day in this month in this sacred
city of Mecca Mina is a part of Mecca as
I mentioned earlier part of the har so
the sacredness of the blood the honor
and the wealth of a Muslim is as sacred
as the sacredness of the month of Dh and
the city of Mecca and he said sallallahu
alaihi wasallam that the sacredness of a
Muslim is superior to the sacredness of
thea.
What does it mean? It means stay away
from hurting people physically, morally
or financially.
This hadith is a sound hadith and it is
collected by Imam Muslim. It has been
narrated by other narrators and compiled
by other compilers of the hadith as
well. And now with the important lessons
that we learn from this hadith. Number
one with envy. And why is it haram?
We heard in the hadith and in the
explanation last session that envy is a
major sin and it is haram and it may
affect the person negatively. the envied
one and we give examples but why is envy
haram
because it is Allah the almighty who
divided alak
when I get a new car it's a gift from
Allah when you get married Allah chose
your wife for you and he chose you for
your wife when Allah bless you with a
healthy smart pious children
alhamdulillah this a gift from Allah so
you didn't take it against Allah as
well. When somebody comes
to envy you in a sense that he wishes
that you would lose the qualities or the
gings that the almighty Allah has given
you. He is not happy with Allah's
decree. He's not being content. He
objects to Allah's way of dividing the
it is Allah who
who expands the provision fromever he
was of his servants.
or restrains it for him. He gives based
on his wisdom. So when you don't like
it, when you object to it and you wish
that this person would lose what he has
in addition to its hatred and it
reflects a very bad personality and evil
personality also it has something to do
with belief that you object to Allah's
decree. you're not happy with Allah's
way of dividing his own gifts and
provisions. So be careful with regards
to it's also forbidden and it nullifies
the contract because of the deceit.
Okay? Artificially inflating prices is
forbidden. Why? Because it's zul
transgression against others the buyers
trying to fool people and trick them to
make them pay extra for an item which
may be worth less or to propagate and to
sell your items fast. That is not
permissible. You should not put any
pressure or any person by any form or
shape or allure them to buy something
for a higher price or from you
particularly. Let people decide on their
own. It is perfectly okay to explain the
qualities of your merchandise and that
it is genuine, not fake. Okay? But do
not allure people and trick them to make
them buy from you. It is also haram for
Muslims to turn their backs to one
another,
not caring about each other physically.
You see sometimes siblings, relatives,
neighbors, co-workers enter in the
masjid to pray or meet each other in the
haram or in Hajj in Ramadan in they
won't even say salam to each other. And
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
has said that if they do not talk to
each other for three days, their deeds
will not be presented before Allah, they
will be committing sin every moment that
they are boycotting each other. And he
instructed that each one of whom is
turning her from the other.
He instructed that
[Music]
the best of them before Allah is the one
who will take the initiative and say
salam to the other. We do not
necessarily have to resume the old
relationship visiting each other
mingling with the families but at least
we are talking to each other. were
paying the and the rights to each other
giving salam
in case that the person needs help he's
sick you visit him some family member
died you give him the condolences and so
on okay we also learn from the hadith
that it is haram for a Muslim to forsake
his fellow Muslim and cut off ties with
him sever ties with Muslims is
absolutely forbidden because turning
their backs on one another is a kind of
severing ties and shunning. In the
hadith
said, "Our deeds will be pre presented
before Allah. Good deeds will be
presented before Allah every Monday and
Thursday
and
also Allah will look at our deeds in the
middle of Shaan." So Allah will say
about two people who are having discord,
they're not talking to each other.
I don't want to see their deals until
they reconcile.
The physical turning backs to one
another is very common unfortunately and
this is not an Islamic way of dealing
with disputes. You know the scholars
spoke about the position of im in the
salah when he's giving his back to the
followers only while leading the prayer.
Once you say
the messenger of Allah would barely say
then he will turn around face the not
give them their back not give them his
back and he will continue with the of
and the rest of the while facing his
companions
it is also haram brothers and sisters
that's another lesson we learn to
undercut a Muslim or to outbid him or to
propose to a girl whom you already know
that somebody have proposed to her and
the proposal is either accepted or
pending because in the hadith he said
and the scholars of have talked a lot
and differed with regards to what if you
do and then that would lead to uh
canceling the previous engagement. Some
considered the new marriage contract
invalid but they have all agreed that
there is a sin a big sin it should be
avoided.
So if shops have different prices and I
deliberately lowered my price is this
haram? No. but to go to somebody who
already concluded a deal and try to
allure him and try to convince him that
I will sell you the same item for a
lower a lower price or give you a better
item for the same price that is haram.
Okay?
In Islam, it is permissible to forsake
or boycott the major sinners, alcoholic
people, adulterers, adulterers until
they repent because the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam boycott three
of his companions
until they repented because they didn't
attend the battle of Tabuk while they
have the means. Tawa is the key to every
success. The messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam in one hadith
which is agreed upon its authenticity
said everybody has in his body a piece
of flesh which is if it is sound the
entire body is sound which is the heart
and if it is corrupt then the entire
body is corrupt. Indeed that muscle of
flesh is the heart. Working on fixing
your heart fixing your intention will
guarantee you are a good Muslim.
Mashallah, we should support one
another. We should help one another. As
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
has said, we should not hand over any
person who is a Muslim to those whom
know that they will wrong him or they
will oppress him or leave him alone
without help and support whether an
individual or a Muslim community or a
Muslim country. Rather, we should all
rush to help those who are in need and
leave them alone. May Allah guide us to
what is best. Until next time.
