The woman
part of the prophet's humbleness
sallallahu alaihi wasallam he was not a
tyrant he was not a king
he was a man down to earth though he was
the most influential
the most powerful and the most important
human being ever to be witnessed in
history. Nevertheless, he was a person
that was humble, that was down to earth
to the extent that he hated it.
If he were to come and people would
stand up for him. Nowadays, we see this
as a trend. When a dignitary come, when
a president, a king enters a hall,
everybody stands up.
This is not permissible. The prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam was the most
beloved person to the companions.
Nevertheless, an may Allah be pleased
with him says they did not love anyone
more than the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam. Yet whenever he came, they
would never stand up for him because
they knew that he hated it. And that was
because he was humble and he was showing
humility to Allahawel.
And the scholars differed in the ruling
on standing up for someone who's coming
in. So standing up
is divided into three types.
One of them is to be sitting and
everybody else is standing next to you
like the tyrants do. Those who have
arrogance and pride in them. So you get
a president or you get someone uh uh of
an official in the government. He sits
in his throne or crown on or his chair
while people standing next to him
whenever he wants something he just
addresses it and they come to his
assistance. No, this is prohibited to
the extent that the prophet once
wasallam was sick and had to pray
sitting down leading the congregation
and the companions were standing up.
They were in prayer. So the prophet
pointed to them and ordered them to sit
down in salat. And after he concluded
his prayer, he looked at us and said,
"You almost
were going to do what the Persians and
the Bzantians
do with their kings when they stand up
while their kings are sitting down. Do
not do that. and take your imams and
follow their lead. If your imam prays
sitting down, all of you pray sitting
down. And if he prays standing up, you
all pray standing up. And this hadith
was reported by Imam Muslim.
And yes, I have to admit there are among
us here in Arabia because it's a
cultural thing that if someone comes to
the gathering
and you don't stand up for him, he
is
negatively touched
and he feels bad about it and he feels
as if he was offended. Ed and this is
to him considered as an insult. The same
thing that happens in some schools when
the teacher comes everybody stands up
and this is definitely not in accordance
to the
sunnah of the prophetam or to Islam.
I do agree. If someone I know for
certain that will be offended by it and
feel insulted and may hold a grudge to
do the lesser of the two evils, I do
recommend that you stand up so that you
do not cause any problems.
Though the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said to that person who is
offended when people don't stand up for
him. The prophet said in an authentic
hadithatam
whoever likes to see the people standing
up for him when he comes in let him
assume his seat in hellfire.
The prophet is warning us if you have
this feeling deep down in your heart
then assume your seat take your seat in
hellfire because on the day of judgment
this is what will happen to you. So this
is number one
those who stand while the others are
sitting and they enjoy this. Number two
is that you stand up for people when
they come in.
And this is not an issue.
It was done at the time of the
prophetatam.
Whenever Fatima, the daughter of the
prophet entered, the prophet used to
stand up for her, greet her, kiss her
between her eyes and make her sit at his
own place. And
May Allah be pleased with him. When
Kabib Malik entered the gathering of the
prophetam after 50 days of being
boycotted by the Muslims
and then his repentance came from the
heavens when he came in
stood up for him. Likewise
when he was injured and came to
give his verdict in
the prophet said to the ansar stand up
and go to your master meaning to help
him and assist him to come in. All of
this is permissible in Islam. And
again the third case is you stand up
like others when you see a person not to
glorify him or to praise him rather
because this is something uh um out of
the customs or because that individual
likes it. This is not recommended and it
can be prohibited if the individual
finds it in him that it is fine. This is
something we should avoid because this
is what the prophet avoided.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
also disliked people walking behind him.
In the hadith
when Abu Bakr migrated with the
prophetat wasam he used to walk in front
of him sometimes behind him sometimes to
his left sometimes to his right and the
prophet said Abu Bakr what are you doing
and the Abu Bakr replied oh prophet of
Allah I remember that there's a posy
running behind us pursuing us so I walk
behind behind you to protect you. Then I
remember there are there might be spies
watching and navigating the routes. So I
walk in front of you. Then I remember
that they might may come from the right
or from the left. So I keep on shifting
trying to protect you. However, Abdah
later on said, may Allah be pleased with
him and with his father, the prophet did
not like people walking behind him.
Rather, he liked them to walk to his
right or to his left.
He did not like to walk in front of
people. That's why he did not like
people to walk behind him because that
would have been a way of showing his
humbleness and how down to earth he was
because when you walk in the front and
people behind you, this may gives you a
feeling of arrogance rather. It's best
that you walk at the back. You can
monitor your companions. you can see
what they're doing so that you can point
out to them whatever wrong things they
are doing. And Jabber said the prophet
would walk behind his companions
leaving his back to the angels to
protect him.
That of course was before allahel.
Uh and this also if I remember
correctly, a prophetam was once in
expedition and everybody was taking
their place sitting and relaxing and um
trying to gain their powers again
when the prophet went under a tree,
hanged his sword on one of its branches
and while the prophet wasallam was
sitting and relaxing there were lying
down. A man came while he was asleep,
took his sword. The prophet said, "I
woke up and I found him in front of me."
So the man said with the sword over my
head, who is going to prevent you from
me? Who's going to protect you from me?
And the prophet calmly said, "Allah."
The man was shocked. So he repeated
again, "Who's going to protect you from
me?" And the prophet said, "Allah."
And the sword fell.
And here he is sitting and he could not
do anything. And this is
a sign
and a proof of the prophet's reliance.
and dependence on allahel for protection
and he does not need anyone's protection
yet he used to may or may
took the means by seeking protection as
Allah ordered him to do though allahel
has protected him and one of the means
of Allah's protection is by his
companions uh um taking watch over him
like that.
Muhammad
