Alhamdulillah.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
used to avoid
foul speech.
So you would not hear him
use obscene words or any type of
profanity.
How would he use such words when he's
the one who said the hadith Allah does
not love rudeness or intentional
rudeness.
using such obscene words is something
that is not liked. So anything that is
related to
profanity or obscene words or even
actions this is something that Allahel
does not like. And this is why when the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used
to speak he used to avoid saying things
that may
shock the listeners. The prophet says in
a haditham, "When one of you wakes up
from sleep, let him not dip his hands
into the vessel until he has washed it
three times, for he doesn't know where
his hand spent the night."
The Muslims did not have faucets
so that running water can be used to
wash their hands. They had buckets.
So when people wake up from sleep and
they want to wash their hands or faces,
they have to dip their hands into the
vessel. To do so, the prophet says,
"Don't do that. You have to pour the
water first. Wash your hands three
times. Then you can do whatever you want
from the water in the bucket because
your hands are clean." Why? Because you
don't know where your hand spend the
night.
Where did my hand spend the night?
This was better than saying because your
hands may have touched your private part
may have come in contact with your anus
and the likes. So the prophet did not
use such words
and rather used better words so that it
would not be offend offending anyone.
Sometimes the prophet used to use oaths.
Why? He's the most truthful, honest
individual who had ever walked the
earth. He could never lie. He never lied
in his life.
So why would he swear? Why would he use
an oath? This is to emphasize
whatever he's about to say and to give
it more
weight and value.
One of the oaths he used to frequently
use, he used to say by the one whose my
soul is in his hand.
Who's the one whose my soul is in his
hand? It is Allah.
So the prophetat wasam used to
frequently use this phrase to make an
oath as in the hadith of him talking
about it's best for a man to go and
gather some firewood and sell it rather
than ask people for charity by the one
whose my soul is in his hand by the one
whose my soul is in his hand. No one who
will
be injured on the battlefield except
that he will come on the day of judgment
with the injury. The blood looking like
blood, but the smell is the smell of
musk.
And in so many hadiths that we can see
that he used to frequently use this type
of swearing. Now sometimes the prophet
would useatam
a third person
pronoun
when it is something that is bad.
For example,
the prophet was talking about when
people are carrying
a funeral, a dead body to its grave.
So the prophet is teaching his
companions that they should do this in a
fast motion, not to walk slowly with it.
No, rather to take it quickly. Why?
Because the prophet says if the deceased
was good,
the burial uh uh the funeral itself
would say, "Come on, come on, hasten and
take me to where I'm going because it
knows
its destination and what awaits it in
the grave." Then the prophet saysam and
if it is not a good
soul
it would say that is who the funeral or
the dead body or the whole thing it
would say
doom or woe to it. He didn't say woe to
me as if he's speaking about himself.
No, this is a third person pronoun
because it's an evil thing. It says,
"Woe to it. Where are you taking it?"
Because it knows it's going to a pit of
fire. May Allahel protect us.
Likewise in the hadith reported in
Muslim when the son of Adam goes and
prostrates to Allahawel
then the devil Satan takes aside and
weeps and he says woe
to
him
where actually Shayan was talking about
himself. He should he should the hadith
would have should have said woe to me.
But the prophet is not narrating things
about himself. So he uses a third person
pronoun. Woe to it or to him. The son of
Adam was ordered and commanded to
prostrate. So he complied and he will go
to Jenna.
And he that is himself
and he talks about himself and I was
commanded this is the prophet talking
about shaitan now. So first he says woe
to him but now as he is quoting he says
I was commanded to prostrate and I
refused so fire will be to me or I will
be uh admitted to hellfire.
And in the Sah Bkari and Muslim when the
prophet sallall alaihi wasallam
offered Islam to Abu Talib when he was
on his deathbed and he continued and
persisted that he says the shahada.
The hadith says and the last thing Abu
Talib said was he
is on the path of Abdutalib. He did not
say I am on the path of Abd. So the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam switched it
to the third person pronoun.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
sometimes used high loud voice when
talking and sometimes used it uh uh in a
low
type or level. It depended on the
situation. So in the hadith of al- mdad
when a guest and his companion came to
the prophetat wasam and the prophet
hosted them in his home when he came
while they were asleep al mdad wasn't
asleep but he was pretending to be
asleep he said the prophet made the
salamisatam
in a low voice if a person was awake
he would have heard it and when people
were asleep he would not be
uh annoyed or disturbed by his voice.
And this is one of the best forms of
etiquette because the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam cared for his guests.
And finally, the prophetat wasallam was
the most eloquent of all those who
spoke. And his words were so sweet and
his performance was so quick and
whenever you heard him speak, it would
captivate
the hearts of anyone who was listening.
And when he spoke it was detailed
in the sense that you can understand
each and every word. Even if you want to
count it, you could have counted. He
wouldn't spit it out so quickly that you
would lose words
and you would not be able to understand.
And he would not pause for too long like
some people when they speak and they
would
speak
like
that. This is boring. When people speak
like this, you can't understand them.
And when they speak like this, you can't
even understand them. But the way the
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
spoke was so clear. The pauses were on
time on on spot and he would never
address things that did not concern him
and he would not speak about things. He
did not anticipate the reward from Allah
who met the prophet before she was
and he became a Muslim. She speak she
says and describes when he kept quiet he
reflected dignity and when he spoke
he would raise his head and his face
would be radiant from a distance he was
the most sallallahu alaihi wasallam
handsome of men and up close he was the
sweetest in character. He spoke kind
words and he paused. When he uh spoke,
he did not speak without uh seizing.
When he spoke, it was as if sallallahu
alaihi wasallam when he spoke he it was
as if the words were like pearls on a
thread. It all fits in the same place
coming off one after another.
