the prophetatam.
honored those who honored him
and he
appreciated
those who
were beside him
and among those definitely come on top
of the list are the Ansar.
What is or who is the Ansar? We have al-
muhajirin
and these are who migrated from
different places and countries
specifically from Mecca to Medina. So
the prophet was one of the muajirun one
of the muajirin who migrated.
Then those who received them, who hosted
them, who honored them
were the Ansar.
The Ansar is a label, a description, a
name given to the people of Medina
who hosted all those Muslims who came in
and shared with them their homes, their
food and everything they had. So the
prophetat
wasam
remembered that and he never forgot that
because they've supported Islam and they
sheltered Islam.
Once the prophet as Annas says may Allah
be pleased with him and Annis was from
the Ansar
saw a group of women and children coming
back from a wedding. So the prophet
stood up for them and he said, "By
Allah, you are the dearest of people to
me. By Allah, you are the dearest of
people to me. By Allah, you are the
dearest people uh uh to me." And this
shows you how much he loved the Ansar
and how they had a special place in the
prophet's heart. Not only that, it's a
religious
issue to love the Ansar. The prophetat
wasallam said the sign of faith, the
sign of im is love of the Ansar and the
sign of hypocrisy is the hatred of
Ansar. And this is why
the vast majority of Muslims never have
a grudge
against any one of the companions
whether of the muhajirin or of the ansar
let alone slander them or curse them or
accuse them of hypocrisy and disbelief.
This is a proof in a sign of hypocrisy
like the prophet has indicated
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Now if we talk about a description,
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
used to love the poor and he used to say
sallallahu alaihi wasallam, "Oh Allah, I
ask you to help me to do good deeds and
refrain from bad deeds and to love the
poor or in a better translation to love
the needy."
So what's the difference? Poor are stone
flat broke
while the needy may be someone who's not
totally broke but has something to
manage by but it's not still enough or
sufficient.
And this dua that the prophet used to
make
it combines the goodness of and the
goodness of when you ask Allahawel
to help you to support you to do good
deeds and s to refrain from all bad
deeds. This means that you've asked
Allahel
to admit you to Jenna because everything
that you've asked for is in that
phrase. And when you ask Allahawel
to make you love those who are in need
and to humble yourself to their level,
this fixes everything around you in this
duny.
Most
companions
seaf
scholars
they point out to this facti
may Allah have mercy on his soul used to
say that or to advise his brothers you
have to hang out with the poor and the
needy and get close to them. Why? He
says because the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam used to ask Allah to
grant him the love
of the poor and of the needy and so did
the companions. May Allah be uh uh
pleased with them.
Abi Talib may Allah be pleased with him.
He used to love the needy and the poor.
Used to sit with them. used to speak
with them and they used to hang out
together and he used to be nicknamed as
the father of the poor. Zanab bent husse
may Allah be pleased with her. The
mother of the believers, the wife of the
prophetam used to be kind to them and
she used to also be known as the mother
of the poor or uh uh the needy because
of her um kindness to them. Omar, may
Allah be pleased with him, the great
companion would not eat alone. Whenever
he was served a meal, he would say,
"Open the door and see who among the
poor or the needy is outside and get
them in to eat with us." Shehbaz, may
Allah have mercy on his soul, used to
also never eat alone. All his meals were
attended by whoever was possibly there
so that he would feed the food as sign
of his iman. And even the people of the
Salaf used to acknowledge this and say
that one of them
Abdah if I recall correctly said I
was hanging out with those in my level
the rich and the influential
and I was the most depressed person on
earth. I see a ride better than my
right. I see clothes better than my
clothes. And I was envious all the time.
I'm never satisfied with whatever I
have. So I left them and I started
hanging out with the poor and the needy.
And I felt good because I always saw
people who are in dire need way worse
than what I am or what I have. And I
always
was appreciating
Allah's gifts to me. So I felt much much
better.
The prophet also used to love
people with good manners, people with
good attitude. And the prophetat wasam
never used profanity, never used vulgar
words or obscene words. And he was never
rude. This was described in the Quran
describing the prophetam.
And he used to say among the dearest of
you to me are the best of you in moral
conduct and and in attitude. And that is
why he sallallahu alaihi wasallam
clearly stated in so many hadith that
among those closest and nearest to me in
paradise are those with the best of a of
attitude of moral conduct of behavior.
And this is why when you see someone who
has a big beard and looks like a student
of knowledge or a scholar, but he's
not walking the talk. He's not kind.
He's not generous. He's not polite. And
he is a person that you're intimidated
of his behavior, then you should raise
red flags.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
also loved
certain types of food and drinks. And
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
liked the foods that were uh available
that he felt comfortable in having
according to what he used to find in his
environment and what he was brought up
to. So
if he liked something that was served,
he would eat it.
If he did not like it,
he would not criticize it. He would not
resent it and it would not be shown on
his face. And this shows you that the
prophetat wasam had the best ofl.
Compare this to guests that come to our
homes and we try our level best to host
them and to serve them the best we have
and they keep on criticizing. Oh, the
food is not hot enough. Oh, the food has
too much salt, too little salt. Maybe if
you had this or that, it would have been
better.
And it's even worse when this attitude
is practiced by husbands with their
wives. When your wife spends two or
three hours in the kitchen
struggling and suffering and doing her
level best to serve you good food and
she may fail.
Wallah, you are not a real man. If you
criticize the food, I swear by Allah,
you're not a real man. You should eat as
much as you can with a big smile and
signs of content and make dua that she
had done her level best so that she
would feel good about it. This is what
real men do.
