Kind: captions Language: en [Music] AC [Music] my dear students welcome to the 14th episode in the third level of the Nobel prophetic ah Hadith [Music] today inshallah in the 14th session we'll continue the second part of Hadith number 12 which is the sound Hadith narrated by the great companion in which he said that the messenger of Allah Sall alaih wasallam once asked his companions do you know what backbiting is they said Allah and his messenger know best then the messenger of Allah peace be upon him said defin backbiting he said May the greatest peace and blessings be upon him mentioning your brother in his absence with something that he dislikes so one of the companions said yo Allah what if I'm only telling the truth the messenger of Allah said if you saying about him what is actually in him in his absence this is typical backbiting if he doesn't like it if you mention him with something that he doesn't like even though it is true that is backbiting and if you dare to speak about him or her in their absence or something which is not true then that is called bhan or slandering and we learned how the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam warned against slandering and it is even worse than and Allah the almighty warned against that uh in Surah Al chapter number 33 and now we would like to shed some light on the of according to may Allah be pleased with him the great messor he said backbiting is absolutely forbidden and there is a general consensus on the prohibition of backbiting no exception is made uh except in certain conditions we will learn about them uh shortly inshallah there are six cases which is there is a clear purpose why would the person speak in a way that it will upset somebody in his or her absence and what makes them uh what makes them allow to speak this way about them such as evaluating the narrator of a Hadith or giving an advice in jining what is good or forbidding what is bad or complaining to a judge and so on we'll learn that shortly inshallah so this Hadith brothers and sisters describes the reality of which is speaking ill of a person in his absence even if it is true IM may Allah have mercy on him said it refers to saying about a person something that he dislikes whether it has to do with his body creation or religious commitment righteousness or worldly Affairs his character or his manners his wealth his father his child his spouse uh his servant his ride his car the way he moves the way uh whether he is cheerful or not uh amazing everything that reminds us with how when once was talking about s her cowi and she said to the prophet I don't know why you like her so much she's like this and she didn't utter a word she pointed with her hand indicating that she is kind of short and safia was short that's not an insult Allah created her this way so the messenger of Allah peace be upon him was really angry and he said yeah indeed you have the word is such a terrible word that if it is mixed with the water of the sea it would pollute it to that extent Subhan Allah but what word did she utter she didn't utter word it was just a aemotion she pointed with her hand but it the meaning is understood so even though she didn't say something lie but that is forbidden to the extent that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said it would pollute the water of the ocean if this word is dropped in it so IM says that includes saying something implicit as some authors do such as when they say someone who claims to have knowledge H you mean that he's ignorant right some one of those who are thought to be righteous thought to be righteous said uh or other phrases in which the audience know who is meant by that it also includes their saying when mentioning someone for innocence may Allah Keep Us Safe and Sound may Allah forgive us our sins may Allah make us may Allah protect against what he Afflicted others with you mean to undermine others if the audience know whom you're talking about to that extent so Islam may Allah have him said some of them may backbite in the form of expressing astonishment such as um saying I wonder about so and so why doesn't he do such and such thing it's all about the intention we learn from this prophetic guidance in this Hadith a lot of valuable lessons number one it is absolutely Haram forbidden and uh it is a major sin to try to discredit the honor of a Muslim while backbiting him or her and it is categorized as a major sin why because it is forbidden in the book of Allah verse number 12 chapter number 49 the almighty Allah [Music] says and do not backbite one another so what makes it a m sin the following like likening because Allah [Music] said so he said don't you backbite one another would one of you like to eat the Flesh of his brother when he's dead allahar you would detest it you would hate it so fear Allah so look at the Ayah Allah the almighty likened backbiting to the detested act the unbelievable practice of trying to eat the Flesh of a dead person after he died and who is this dead person your own brother would anyone do it no way would you like it absolutely not so backbiting is like that backbiting is like going to your brother after he died and biting on his flesh terrible that's why it's a me sin in theith narrated that wasam said when I was taken up to heaven in the Journey of I passed by some people who had nails of coer with which they were scratching their faces and their chests so I asked jel I said my brother jel who are those people so jel said they are the ones who used to eat people's flesh and cast as persans on their honor and repetitions wow those who are backbiting others on the day of judgment Allah will give them nails of cuper and they keep scratching and injuring their faces and their chest you don't want to be among them be careful also in another said uh to her when she said that sopia is such and such meaning she's short that if this word is mixed with the water of the sea he would pollute it we learned that shortly be before and the the Hadith is collected by Abu D and it is cariz as a sound even though didn't utter a word she just pointed with her hand and alh wasallam Prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him defined backbiting as mentioning something about your brother in his absence that he doesn't like to be mentioned he doesn't approve so if it is stayed in his presence then it's an insult but if it is stayed in his absence that is defined as backbiting backbiting means saying something about your brother that he dislikes whether it has to do with his Dean or D body or worldly matters or his character his his physical appearance you know examples of character flows including you're saying that he is not CH or uh he Chase he chases women uh or he commits illicit relationship examples of flaws in religion and religious commitment such as saying that he is or an inov an innovator in his absence or this guy deliberately skips praying in Jama or this person usually doesn't pray F on time and so on what is the purpose of you saying that the degree of backbiting varies depending on the outcome but biting the scholars is even worse than backbiting Layman because people follow them and learn from them trying to discredit rightous Scholars is the worst because you will end up hindering Layman from learning from those people Subhan Allah so if you find a drawback a flow an error in your brother or in your sister instead of Spreading the News and back biting them why don't you give them give them the prophet s Alam warned against following the fals the flaws and errors of others in order to expose them he said whoever does so Allah will expose his faults even if he's hiding in the innermost part of his house and this is a sound Hadith uh narrated collected by Abu d may Allah have mercy on him be careful so you will be treated the same way this something that you got to keep in mind it is permissible though to backbite uh people of uh the people who are criminals who are known of bragging about their sins the rebellious ones in order to warn against them and warn against dealing with them and warn against is their evil doing andam words that he doesn't like to be mentioned gives the impression that if he doesn't like to be mentioned with this then stay away from that but if the person is Criminal and he's bragging about his crimes if the person is rebellious and he showing off about his sins then talking about him in order order to warn others against him is not categorized as and now I would like to share with you before we RAB it up the cases in which it will not be considered may Allah have mercy on him listed six conditions that would allow a person to get involved in Reba such as uh filing a complain against an oppressor or an unjust person or a mistreatment that is done to you by others so in the report in the police report in the court report you're going to say what happened what you have seen what youve experienced is this Haram no because now you know we're taking it into the level of the court room Judiciary System and so on secondly to seek help in changing Al or evil or bringing a sinner back into the great path Consulting talking to somebody about his son or about her spouse in order to help changing him putting him back uh on the straight path if that is the intention it is okay seeking fatwa you know she complained to the prophet she wanted fatwa that her husband was cheap my he doesn't spend much so sometimes I end up taking out of his pocket without his knowledge is it Halal if she says is it Halal to take to steal from your husband without his knowledge the prophet would have said no but she said what is the reason because my husband is tight so that's why the prophet said it's permissible to take what is sufficient for your basic need for you and your child warning Muslims again is the evil of others and Advising them like uh somebody uh proposed to a girl people don't know that this guy is a faker this guy is a thief this guy is an alcoholic person this guy doesn't pray he seems to be nice in front of people you know the reality would you be quiet no especially if they ask you what do you know about this person since he's your neighbor so saying that well what I know about him that he doesn't pray I've never seen him fasting in Ramadan as a matter of fact I saw him smok in Ramadan really yeah and multiple times he will see drunk and he's abusive oh thank you so much you would provide what is sufficient for the other party to make their decision based on the facts that you're sharing with them uh also as I mentioned earlier in case that somebody is openly committing the sins and bragging about it then there is no for them finally identification if a person is known by a nickname based on a physical difference such as being you know you know or oneeyed person or deaf or blind or course eyed all of that is permissible uh remember uh brothers and sisters it's all about the intention and as the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam has said none of you believe truly believe uh until he loves for others what he loves for himself may Allah guide us to his best until next [Music] time for [Music]
