The prophet sallallah.aihi wasallam was a human being which meant that he loved things like we do and he hated and resented things like we do. However, the prophet's hatred of things is not like us for personal gain or for something that is in our DNA. Rather, the prophet's resentment and hatred of things was for the sake of Allahawel. Mother Aisha says the prophet sallall.aii Wasam did not hate any kind of attitude or characteristic more than lying. And a person may say a lie in front of the prophetat wasam that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam would resent that and keep resenting it until the man who said that lie would repent and show remorse. So this highlights that the prophetat wasam would discipline the people with showing them that he resented this so that they would not do it again. In another hadith, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam if he witnessed one of his his own household saying a lie, he would not address or talk or deal with that individual until he shows remorse and repents to Allahawel. The prophet said in an authentic hadith sallallahu alaihi wasallam that lying leads to evildoing and evildoing leads to hellfire and a person would continue to lie until he is recorded at the sight of Allah as a liar. Now lying is not something that we endorse or love. Unfortunately, a lot of us may resort to it to solve a problem that they don't want to face. Omar says, "May Allah be pleased with him." You would never find a believer lying. A believer doesn't lie. It goes against his belief, his truth. However, may Allah be pleased with her says that I heard the prophet sayatam, a liar is not the person who cultivates goodness when he goes between two fighting factions or individuals and say good things so that he would make Amend. So yes, he may say things that are not truthful. Oh, I heard that individual who you're fighting with say very good things about you. And he says that you're so generous, you're so uh uh um truthful. Had it not been for Shan, he would have taken you as a best friend. And he goes to the other guy and say the same so that he would mend what was ever between them. Lying is also permissible as the prophet saidatam in three cases in wars. So you have to lie to the enemy so that you would defeat them and when mending and and and fixing what was broken between factions that are fighting and having disputes. Thirdly, when a man lies to gain the love of his uh uh wife or when a wife lies to her husband to gain his love. So as when she compliments how he looks and the likes and generally speaking lying is not prohibited for itself but rather for the bad consequences that may result afterwards. And if lying was going to cause or was going to lead to something beneficial, then it becomes permissible. For example, the enemy come to your house where someone they're after and they want to harm is hiding. So when they ask you, "Is so and so here? Have you seen him?" If you say, "I'm not going to lie. Yes, he's inside. He's in the basement. He's hiding. They're going to take him, abduct him and kill him. So here lying is the lesser of the two evils and it is recommended for you to lie in order to save a life. The prophetat wasallam also hated bad attitude. And what is meant by bad attitude is to have something that people hate and you do not want others to deal with you with such an attitude which such evil conduct or character such as oppression such as envy such as cheating such as showing off, such as boasting about things you do, such as laziness, being stingy, lying, arrogance, pride. All of these bad attitudes the prophet sallallaihi wasallam disliked and did not endorse or like to see. And by default the prophet did not have any of those. Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He also sallallahu alaihi wasallam disliked superstition. In Arabic it's called and superstition is a feeling a person finds in his heart that would deter him from moving forward or doing something. It's a negative feeling. And Muawi said to the prophetam, "Oh prophet of Allah, I've just reverted to Islam, but among us there are men who are superstitious. They're so superstitious that they may be deterred from moving forward. So the prophet said that is something they find in themselves. It should not deter them. It should not stop them. And Abu Hurra narrates, may Allah be pleased with him, that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam hated superstition. And why is that? Because when you're superstitious, you usually think negatively of what's going to happen. You think negatively of the outcome which only Allahel controls. But when you are superstitious of a person, of a phrase you heard, of an object you you had seen, of a street, of a particular day or month or time of the day. All of this means that you're thinking negatively of Allahawel. Abdah, may Allah be pleased with him said in an authentic hadith, the prophet said, Believing in superstition is shik. And whoever is deterred from doing something he was going to do because of superstition then he has committed shik. And to resolve this you say and the prophet also sallallahu alaihi wasallam hated things that had a bad smell such as garlic and onions. And the prophet told us when he was presented with food and he did not eat from its may Allah be pleased with him asked the prophet is it haram? The prophet said no but there is garlic in it. So the prophet indicated that it is not haram but rather because I do not like the smell. In another narration, the prophet saidatam, I am not like you. I speak to someone you don't speak to. That is the angels. Gibrel comes and speaks to me. So I don't want him to find any offensive smell coming out of my mouth. However, garlic and onions are beneficial plants and some find them delicious to eat. and it's totally halal. However, one has to avoid eating them if he's going to go to the masid afterwards and the worshippers would be offended by the smell coming from his mouth. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam also hated or disliked hot drinks. Unlike what we do today, we enjoy drinking a hot cup of tea, a hot cup of coffee. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam liked what was cold and sweet. And again, this does not mean you're not allowed to drink hot things. However, to hurt yourself, as some people do when they drink it in a quick fashion and may burn themselves, that is not recommended. And the prophet sallall alaihi wasallam would leave things until they cool down and they become natural for a person to consume. for [Music] shadow. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! [Music]
