and welcome back.
Alhamdulillah.
My dear students, this is the 13th
hadith, 13th edition in the fourth level
of the noble prophetic hadith. But today
inshallah we'll be studying hadith
number 12. So the hadith is aith and it
is collected by and others and it is
narrated by Abu
in which he said that the messenger of
Allah may Allah's peace and blessings be
upon him said part of a person's being a
good Muslim is his leaving alone that
which does not concern him.
So the messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wasallam continued to discipline,
educate and guide his companions and
obviously the entire ummah through
beautiful advices in order to perfect
their manners to make them better
individuals and obviously ideal Muslims.
And the advice in this hadith is
indicating that a sign of being a good
Muslim and a perfect Muslim is
avoiding putting your nose and
interfering in people's businesses and
asking too many questions which are not
necessary and trying to be nosy.
Avoiding that is a sign that you are a
good Muslim.
leaving alone, showing no interest in
what is not your business. I know that
some people might say, but this is
contrary to what we have learned before
about the equality of enjoining what is
good, forbidding what is evil and so on.
We will reconcile between the two
understandings shortly inshallah
after we provide the general meaning of
the hadith.
You know brothers and sisters
the scholars
have agreed that the perfect manners are
listed in four a hadith. If you fulfill
what is being instructed in the
following four a hadith you are a
well-mannered Muslim. Mashallah. The
first one is pertaining to the guidance
as what to say and what not to say. Let
whoever believe in Allah in the last day
to speak what is good or his mouth be
quiet sound hadith agreed upon its
authenticity. The following hadith or
advice that the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said
a sign that the person is a perfect
Muslim is that he leaves alone which
does not concern him which is none of
his business. And the hadith of do not
get angry. We studied it a couple
sessions back. Do not get angry.
And finally, the fourth prophetic advice
is none of you will truly believe until
he loves for his brother what he loves
for himself.
When you think about this hadith today,
it also summons the advices of the
remaining three. A hadith which would
secure the perfect manner for a Muslim
if he were to follow them.
A husband and wife, our neighbors are
having a little dispute. Lend your ear
to hear what they are talking about.
Spying on them haram is none of your
business. Would you like your neighbor
to spy on you and to find out why you're
fighting with your wife? H
uh of course not. So why are you doing
this to others?
H somebody is moving
in or out buying a new car, selling the
old do not investigate. And how much do
you pay for it? And how did you pay for
it? I I thought you are a a school
teacher. Where did you get the money
from? And uh you know what school you
put your kids in? But that's too
expensive. Why didn't you put them in a
public school? It is none of your
business.
Manage your own business.
Trying to spy on people. He's bringing
foods today. He's buying meat. Look, you
know how many bags he's carrying when he
is coming back home. These guys are very
rich. These guys are whatever.
If you don't like it for yourself, do
not do it to others. Being a good Muslim
requires the individual to leave on
everything and anything which does not
concern him.
Requires him not to be nosy,
not to put his nose in others
businesses.
You know when you're invited to
somebody's house and you keep wondering,
I love the portrait. I love this. I love
the couch. I love this. How much did you
pay for it? What did you get it from?
And asking for all the details. Guess
what? people will not invite you again
because you think they think that you're
very noisy and you're giving them an
evil eye. Rather, you sit where they ask
you to sit. Stop wandering around. Eat
from wherever they offer you and stop
asking them for the details of
everything. Nice sofa, nice couch, nice
carpet, nice whatever. What did you get
it from? How much did you pay for it?
Did you pay for it cash? too many
questions. A believer is not noisy. A
believer doesn't ask people about what
does not concern him. You go to your
neighbor and say, "I saw that uh you
were moving some furniture yesterday.
Why are you moving out? Are you buying
new furniture? Uh I saw that your wife
was at the hospital. Is she pregnant?
Are you going for Omrah?" Please, please
avoid all of that. It is annoying and it
is not permissible.
Somebody met with
and he asked him I do remember you.
Aren't you the slave of such and such
tribe? He said yes. Oh I remember you
but how did you achieve this high
status? He said two things. Speaking the
truth and keeping quiet about anything
that does not concern me. speaking the
truth and managing my own business.
Alass the great of Iraq said
a sign that Allah subhana wa tala have
abandoned his servant by causing him to
be preoccupied with things which do not
concern him. When somebody meets me in
the mash and says, you know, uh, the
person who lives right across from you
in the flat on the same floor, what does
he do for living?
May I ask you why you're asking? I said,
because he's your neighbor. He comes to
the masid. So I was wondering what does
he do for living? How many kids does he
have? How old are his kids? Hhabibi,
brother, sister, manage your own
business. Stop being noisy. Stop being
nosy and putting your nose in others
businesses. May Allah subhana wa ta'ala
protect us protect us against that. And
now with
some of the benefits that we learn from
the hadith,
we have learned that Allah subhana t
said inah chapter number 16 one verse
which summoned all what is good.
[Music]
All the perfect manners are in this
ayah. If you fulfill them, you will be
the best human being and the best
believer ever.
He commanded justice.
Good doing
by looking after your relatives.
[Music]
Islam forbids what? Allah forbids what?
uh indecencies,
foul languages,
illicit relations, evil, lying and
transiggation. Subhan Allah. Very
comprehensive ayah. So the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam whenever he
instructs us with good manners whether
we do or do not do it is in order to
make us better human beings and
obviously better believers. The best
before Allah subhana wa t'ala are those
who have the best of manners in
as well as in Allah gave the qualities
of the believers who are successful.
Successful indeed are the believers.
Among their qualities besides focusing
on their prayers, they turn away from
vain talk. is none of my business. You
neither hear it nor say it. And in
the traits of verse number 72, chapter
number 25, Allah subhana wa ta says
about them.
Even when they hear ill talk by mistake,
they pass by as if they didn't hear it,
they pass with dignity. So stick to
that, brothers and sisters. My dear
students, one person who keeps focusing
on what does not concern him definitely
that occupies plenty of time of his
precious time. So he's wasting time. He
could have benefited
in this time by doing many good things
reading Quran enjoining what is good
forbidding what is evil making
each single time say subhan allah
plants for you a palm tree in heaven. So
have our talking about what this person
did and what that person did and so on.
May Allah protect us against that. The
individual should strive to improve his
commitment to Islam. So he should leave
alone what does not concern him. What is
none of his business. Uh just worry
about yourself and manage your own
business. Does it mean that we should
quit enjoing what is good and forbidding
what is evil? Absolutely not. That's a
completely different story. Enjoying
what is good and forbidding what is evil
if it is obvious to you and if you're
capable to enjoying what is good or
forbid what is evil is compulsory and is
what makes this um superior to the rest
of the um and what makes you if you do
it superior to other believers. That is
the quality which Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala saves people if they possess they
care about others. They worry about
others. So I'm standing in my balcony
and I saw my neighbor is carrying his
child and everybody is running to the
hospital. Should I turn a blind eye and
I say it's none of my business. The she
said, you know, act as if he didn't see
anything? No. In this condition, I
should rush to help and assist.
Somebody's managing to climb or get on
the ramp and with a wheelchair. rush to
help them for God's sake, you know. Oh,
but you said manage your own business.
Subhan Allah. Now you know what is meant
by leave alone what does not concern
you. Anything which has no benefit,
anything which will not add something
positive uh or productive to your life
or to your dean or your hereafter, stay
away from. Do not be nosy and
interfering others businesses when they
don't want you to interfere by
overhearing their conversation by
interfering in what they say and what
they do. But if they need help and if
you see anything which is which needs
correction or needs an advice it is
perfectly okay to enjoy what is good and
forbid what is evil or offer help and
assistance to others. May Allah guide us
to what is best.
