and welcome back to the 15th edition in
the fourth level of the noble prophetic
Hadith.
Alhamdulillah.
Today inshallah we'll tackle hadith
number 14 in this level. The hadith is
narrated by a great companion namely
Abdullahbnd
may Allah be pleased with him and his
father who said that the messenger of
Allah may Allah's peace and blessings be
upon him said
there are four evil traits. Whoever
possesses them is indeed a pure
hypocrite. And whoever has one of these
evil traits, then he has one of the evil
traits of hypocrisy until he gives it
up. Then he started explaining the four
evil traits. Number one, whenever he is
entrusted with something, he betrays.
Whenever he speaks, he lies. Whenever he
promises he breaks his promise, he or
she and whenever
whenever he argues, whenever he is
having a disagreement with somebody,
they he exceeds the limit and breaks all
the boundaries. He resorts to evil. He
lies about this person. He makes up
stories and so and this is a sound
hadith which is agreed upon its
authenticity.
Abdullahbn Omar may Allah be pleased
with him and his father was a son of
Omar and prophet Muhammad's
brother-in-laws
is a sister of Abdahbn Omar Kar he was a
very special companion the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam admired him
repeatedly
and he was a great seeker of knowledge
he attempted to attend the battle of bad
with Muslims but the messenger of Allah
peace be upon him returned him back
because he was too young. But he started
attending the battles and expeditions
with the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam own beginning from the battle
of Alcand on the fifth year after the
migration of prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam.
He lived after the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam for about 62 years and
he sat to give fatwa for 60 consecutive
years. He was a great fak and he was the
last of the companions to die in Mecca
on at the age of 73 uh on the on the
year 73 after the migration of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and
may Allah be pleased with him he also
lost his eyesight towards the end of his
life
with regards to the hadith itself and
the evil traits let's begin with the
defining the term na
or hypocrisy linguistically and from an
Islamic point of view. Linguistically,
hypocrisy is taken for uh is taken from
an Arabic word which is
what is in English is a tunnel. Normally
there is a desert small rodent which is
called
and in Arabic they call it jera.
The small rodent in order to escape from
predators
they dig tunnels but with two entrances.
One which is visible which is to deceive
the predators and one which is
concealed. They enter from and they end
up in a safe place. So that's called
because they show something different
than what they conceal.
They appear different than the reality.
And that's why
a person who displays faith and pretends
to be a believer while he is disbeliever
is given the title
because of that similar to aler and what
he does in the desert and so on. in its
applied meaning or Islamically the term
was not even known to the Arab before
because
to show that you are a believer and in
reality you're not and the Arab before
the advent of Islam they didn't really
care about showing faith or not showing
faith it was their cultural traditions
predominantly
and they were all pagans with the
exception of few
So 13 years in Mecca after the
prophethood again there was not a single
hypocrite only after the great conquest
and the great vic of Badra which is 17
months after the migration on the second
year after Hijra
uh when the Muslims achieved great
victory on the battle of Badr Abdullahbn
Sal and his followers they were in
hundreds they realized that they cannot
defeat Islam by confronting Islam and
Muslims. The best case scenario is to
pretend to be Muslims so that they will
become the enemy within. And they
achieved a great success in harming
Muslims by the way. But Allah the
Almighty exposed them in every condition
and
showed Muslims and displayed all their
plots in order to warn against them
because they were not only at the time
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. Hypocrisy is to last all the
way until the day of judgment. So the
evil traits and sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said if a Muslim
happens to possess any of them then he
has some of the qualities evil qualities
and traits of hypocrisy.
If he possesses them all then he's a
pure hypocrite. If he possesses one or
two, he has some of the traits of
hypocrisy until he gives it up, until he
quits, encouraging Muslims
to be well-mannered and to stay away
from all of the evil traits of
hypocrisy.
In fact, that would lead us to recognize
that there are two types of hypocrisy,
my dear students. The first is major
hypocrisy, which takes a person out of
the fall of Islam. In fact, he never
entered into Islam.
When you see an undercover agent in any
non-Muslim country coming to the Muslim
community and pretending I like Islamah
becoming Muslim to be an informant
within to be able to enter the Islamic
center, the Muslim community to hang
around the im and to befriend the
business owners to find out what do
Muslims do in private in their Islamic
community. He's a mafik.
Mafik in what? In faith, in belief. He
never accepted Islam. He never liked the
Quran. He never believed that Muhammad
is a prophet. He's like Abdullahbn
with the same evil intention.
And there is the second type. But the
first type, of course, their fate on the
day of judgment is even worse than the
disbelievers. Yep. Inah chapter number
four, the Almighty Allah says
indeed the hypocrites on the day of
judgment will be on the lowest depth of
fire and you will not find any help or
support for them.
They will be in a level bel
and
the pharaoh and ham. Why? because they
pretended to be Muslims and believers
while in reality they are not. The
second type of hypocrisy which the
scholars refer to it as a minor
hypocrisy.
Minor hypocrisy because it doesn't take
or it does not necessarily take the
person out of the fold of Islam unless
if he exceeds the limit and possesses
all the traits of hypocrisy and he
persists on doing so. When somebody lies
a lot, he got some of the traits of
hypocrisy.
Somebody is known that he does not keep
promise no matter what he says, no
matter what he does. And people would
never leave valuables with him because
he betrays the ama. They would never
share seekers with him because
immediately he will post them on the
social media, right? And they know that
if they differ with him, he would try to
discredit them by publishing or sharing
bad news and also even fake news. So the
person is a monaf in a sense he is a
perpetrator. He's doing he's committing
major sins. Those are major sins. But
the hypocrisy itself is not a hypocrisy
in belief. It will not make the person a
disbeliever.
It will make the person a believer who's
committing major sins until he quits.
May Allah subhana wa ta'ala guide us to
what is best.
So we learn from this hadith multiple
lessons. My dear students, the first
lesson that we learn from is the hadith
contains a stern and a serious warning
against those evil traits. Be careful
when you speak. Speak the truth or be
quiet. When you make a promise, make
sure that you're capable to fulfill it.
And when you differ with people, no
problem, but peacefully. You know, you
can just keep salam, keep minimum
relationship, but to publish their
secrets, to reveal their private
matters, to expose them, that's a major
sin. also
with regards to uh
you know revealing
or betraying the amat or the trust and
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in in
the hadith. Subhan Allah
render trust back to the one who
entrusted you with them and do not
betray those who betrayed you. Don't say
because they betrayed me, I betrayed
them. Because they're kufuar, I betrayed
them. No, you are a trustworthy person
because you're a believer. Even if
you're dealing with wicked or
non-believer persons, the Almighty Allah
instructed in chapter number four verse
number 58.
Indeed, Allah commands you to render
back the trust to those to whom they
belong.
We also learned that the hadith warns
against lying and sallallahu alaihi
wasallam specifically mentioned that
truthfulness truthfulness leads to
righteousness. A righteousness leads to
heaven. While a person will persist in
speaking the truth until he becomes
a truthful person and he will be
recorded with Allah subhana wa ta'ala
or a truthful person. On the other flip,
lying leads to wickedness and wickedness
leads to hellfire. And a person will
continue to lie and lie and lie until he
will be uh a liar and be recorded before
Allah as a liar. Lying leads to
hellfire. May Allah subhana ta protect
us against that. With regards to
breaking promises, he says sallallahu
alaihi wasallam every betrayer and
promise breaker there will be for him or
her on the day of judgment a banner a
sign on the day of judgment and it will
be said this is the betrayal of so and
so and this is a sound hadith no one
wants to be exposed in front of all the
creation of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
and to be known as a or a betrayal
When the person argues, when the person
differs with others, it happens. No
problem. Keep calm. Do not exceed the
limits. If you know because you used to
enter the house of this person, you know
that he and his wife used to fight, he
and his kids are having problems or he
was in drugs and he is treated or he's
epileptic. You start publishing
everything. That's called forger
wickedness indiffering with others and
this is indeed a sign of hypocrisy. May
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us
against that. So if a person possesses
any of these major sins
which are labeled as minor hypocrisy
because they're not in belief. Is he a
believer or a disbeliever? He is a
believer who's committing major sins but
he is urged to repent and to restore his
faith and restore good manners as the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
commanded.
So um the four evil characteristics the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
mentioned in the hadith are absolutely
forbidden and they are uh categorized as
major sins despite the fact that we say
this is a minor hypocrisy because it is
not in belief. It is not something that
who's pretending to be a Muslim while he
is not. May Allah guide us to what is
best and until next time.
