Kind: captions Language: en [Music] AC [Music] Scholars differed does Islam love poverty or does Islam promote wealth and the scholars as I said had different opinions who's best at the sight of Allah the poor who's patient or the rich and wealthy who is thankful and giving and the most authentic opinion is those who are better in righteousness and piety and some Scholars said no the wealthy person who gives to others and benefit Muslims and Islam is better than anyone else if they are in the same level of righteousness and piety and the ma majority of the 10 heavenbound were rich such as Abu bakrd andb Zade may Allah be pleased with them they were all rich individuals and the prophet sallallah alhi wasallam would acknowledge their wealth when they assist and help in spreading Islam the prophet saidat there is no wealth that had ever benefited me more than the wealth of Abu Bakr and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to visit them and he used to encourage them to give and guide them to the best means of Charity Abu Talha may Allah be pleased with them he's one was one of the richest in Medina he had Farms Palms trees and he had his most favorite property a farm called B which was close to the Masjid of the Prophet Alam and it had a well where the Prophet used to enter and drink from that well because it was a bit sweet unlike the well the wells of Medina so when Allah revealed the Ayah you will not attain Paradise until you spend from what you love Abu said oh prophet of Allah this Farm B is the most precious to my heart and I put it in Allah's charity and I give it to you to put it and give it and distribute it wherever you wish so so the prophet says wow that is a winning transaction a successful transaction and I've heard what you said and I see that you yourself divided between your needy relatives so he did so and distributed it upon his own relatives and cousins he used to visit the rich s may Allah be pleased with him when he fell sick he visited him and S said oh prophet of Allah I have only daughters so I'd like to give most of my wealth in charity before I die so I want to give 2third of my wealth in charity the prophet said no so he said okay then I'll give half of my wealth in charity the prophet said no then s said then I'll give onethird of my wealth in charity and the prophet approved that and he told him that it is best not to leave your heirs poor asking people for money rather leave them something to get by with and those who came to him and wanted to give all of their wealth in charity he would re restrain them from doing so and tell them to keep something like in theith of Malik when Allah revealed in chapter n the verses of his repentance after almost 50 days of boycotting the Muslims for not going with the prophet wasam in the expedition of tabuk when his repentance was revealed he was so happy he said part of my gratitude that I give everything I have for the sake of Allah and the prophet said to him no sallallahu alaihi wasallam hold on to some of your wealth and that is better for you and there is no contradiction between this and the Hadith of Abu Bakr who gave all of his wealth three times in the life of the Prophet Alam because it differs from one person to the other Abu bakr's Iman and Trust in Allah's provision and his knowledge and hard work in Commerce and trade allowed him to do this task and the prophet to accept it from him and the prophet used to encourage the rich to show Allah's Grace upon them Malik may Allah be pleased with him he said I came to the prophet once wearing torn out garments very cheap so the prophet asked me do you have wealth I said yes and the prophet said what kind of wealth do you have I said Allah gave me everything I have camels I have cows I have sheep I have slaves I have horses so the guy is Rich so the prophet said to him him if Allah gave you money then let Allah see the traces of such Grace and favors upon you and the prophet Salli wasallam would compliment and praise their acts of Charity once he encouraged the people to give in charity and this was for the expedition of tabuk and it's it was times of hardship so people gave little little little except he came and he poured a, dinar in the lap of the Prophet Alam and that was a huge amount of money and the prophet saidham nothing would do in the future that would harm him or affect him negatively after what he had done today and the prophet s wasallam used to mix with the rich in their markets in their sus and he used to advise them and warn them from Allah's torment and he used to say to them oh Merchants be aware that Merchants would be resurrected on the day of judgment as sinful people except those who fear Allah and they are truthful when they trade and he would detect people trying to deceive others and he would correct them and say no you can't sell something deceiving others like this he who cheats us is not from Among Us and he used to make Dua for Baraka when ABD got married and he told him about the dowy he gave the prophet said then offer a even by one sheep may Allah put Baraka for you and he used to ask those who are rich to be easygoing the prophet says Alam Allah the Almighty admitted a man to Paradise why what did he do he was easygoing when selling and when buying and when collecting the debts and he used to warn people from being arrogant and this is a treat that many many rich people have where he saidat he who has an ant weight of arrogance in his heart would not be admitted to J and he would instruct the rich to be fair and just when they give gifts to their children the Hadith of bash may Allah be pleased with him and with his father when Al Bashir gave an a gift and his mother says no my son cannot accept such a gift until you make the prophet Alat a witness of it on it so Al Bashir went bash went to the prophet and said oh prophet of Allah I gave to my son and I was a child at at the time I was a boy he said I give gave to my son a gift and his mom wanted you to testify so the prophet saidat bash do you have other children than him Bashir said yes so the prophet said have you given them all an equivalent gift the man Bashir said no so the prophet said Alam do not make me a witness I do not testify on Injustice which means that it is an injustice of course for the rich and for the poor to favor one of their children in a gift and deprive the others from it and Allah Knows [Music] Best [Music] for for [Music]
