alhamd my dear students welcome come to
the eighth Hadith in the third level of
the noble prophetic Hadith today's
Hadith is narrated by one of the great
companions
namely who said that the prophet Sall
alai wasallam said whoever strives to
maintain his
dignity Allah will help him to maintain
his dignity and whoever refrains from
asking of people Allah will make him
independent of means and whoever strives
to be patient Allah will help him to be
patient then also in another
narration uh by AB may Allah be pleased
with him the messenger of Allah sallu
alaihi wasallam has said no one is given
any gift better than and more expensive
more valuable than
patience the narrator of the Hadith
he is a senior companion who lived for
120 years 60 years of them in Jia before
Islam and 60 years in Islam he died in
the year 45 after the migration of the
Prophet sallallahu alhi wasallam ham is
a very um distinguished companion for
many reasons one of whom that he was
actually born inside the Kaaba Subhan
Allah um I would like to join the
explanation of the Hadith alongside with
some of the phrases and their
explanation the
phrase whoever strives to maintain his
dignity Allah will help him to maintain
his dignity what is dignity here and
what
is you know inah Bak there is a verse
verse number 200 and 73 Allah is guiding
us as how should we dispense our charity
and whom to give in charity so he
says give the charity for the poor who
have been restricted for the cause of
Allah unable to move about in the land
to earn their provision you know
um an ignorant person would think that
they are
self-sufficient they think that these
guys are rich why because they never
ask they would never share with people
their needs and they are poor and
they're desperately in need for this or
that or they ask them for help they are
desperately in need but they don't ask
so that's why people do not realize that
those people are poor they always see
them wearing clean clothes maybe it's
the same outfit they keep washing them
over and over and whenever they are
being washed they stay at home because
they don't have another said Subhan
Allah then he
said but you will know them by their
characteristics by their signs like
what they never ask home people they
totally rely upon the Almighty Allah so
Allah is bringing to our attention those
who have means search for those poor
people who don't ask enrich them out of
Allah's Bounty give them some of what
Allah has given you also when the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
whoever refrains from asking from
people asking what asking for help
asking for financial help I mean
uh it's only permissible whenever you
are in dire
need okay the Hadith actually has four
beautiful pieces of advices the first is
to uh so that you would maintain your
dignity and if this is your intention
and if you're striving to maintain your
dignity guaranteed Allah will deliver
you out of your hardship will provide
you with the reasonable means so that
you maintain your dignity
when you refrain from asking financial
help from people despite your need Allah
will make you independent of means will
provide you with what is sufficient and
adequate for you so that you maintain
this quality of not asking from people
even though you are in
need this requires a person to strive to
avert his inner desire from two things
the attachment to
people and to seek it to seek
Independence and to seek the help only
from Allah subhana wa tala this is a
very high level of upon Allah subhana wa
ta imagine you have a friend or a
neighbor or a sibling or a family member
who's a multi-millionaire and you are in
need desperately in need for some
financial
help even though if you pick up the
phone and you say bro I need a couple
thousand dollar my son is going to
school and I don't have money he will
send you 10 instead of two but you're
trying to maintain your
dignity you don't want to ask from
people Allah from above the seventh
heaven knows your need so he will
suffice you he will make you independent
of means because of the quality of
trying to be dignified
because actually asking from
people um has some sort of embarrassment
sometimes people will give you sometimes
people will say no and if you ask once
and they give you a second time they
give you a third time they will stop
picking up the phone or answering a call
or maybe they block you they think that
you're always asking from them but
always asking from the almighty Allah
makes him happy with you
we studied that before one who doesn't
ask from Allah Allah is angry with him
we said four pieces of
advices not to ask from people Allah
will make you independent of means and
the third whoever strives to be
patient patience is literally the
greatest
quality no one is given a better gift
than being patient but it is a very hard
one it is as bitter as Al very bitter
you know not everyone can afford it the
prophet sallu alai wasallam
promised whoever stes to be patient
Allah will enable him to acquire
patience and no one is given a better
gift or
quality that is more valuable than
patience patience is mentioned in the
Quran over 80
times it is sufficient to understand
that the almighty Allah
says indeed those who endure things
patiently in this life shall receive the
word on the day of judgment without
limit if we know that word for fasting
for the prayers for a good de 10 times
more 700 times or even more but when it
comes to patience without limit
and the almighty Allah stated
in give Glad Tidings to the patient ones
those who endure things
patiently especially whenever they're
Afflicted with a
Calamity and as you know that patience
is needed in order to observe what Allah
has commanded to abstain from what Allah
has forbidden and also at the time of
being tested and tried to say we all
belong to Allah and unto him we shall
return it couldn't be better I couldn't
change Allah's decree I just have to be
patient and accept it with pleasure and
ask Allah to give me better than what I
lost and to enable me to endure
calamities
patiently so those four pieces of
advices are
uh related to each other
how it's all about striving making an
effort even though it is difficult it is
hard upon a person to be desperately in
need to go to sleep without food without
dinner kids are crying and I know that
there are some people if I pick up the
phone and ask from them they will send
some
food but I want to rely upon Allah
alone I want to do honor my dignity I
don't want to ask from people there are
some people who frequently ask from
people until they come on the day of
judgment and their faces would not have
a single piece of
Flesh they lost ha so they don't have
Flesh on the day of judgment on their
faces especially those who ask whether
they need or not because they think
those people whom they ask from they
have plenty of Mone of money they're
very well off so we learn from the
Hadith brothers and sisters that asking
people to give you from their
wealth
um is something even though it is
permissible at the time of need but if
you avoid it for Allah's sake Allah will
make you
independent and will provide you with
means so that you are content with what
Allah has given you and you don't have
to
ask and this is indeed better
remember uh I shared with you earlier
how a person who will keep asking until
we come on the day of judgment there is
not even a shred of Flesh on their faces
the Hadith is a sound Hadith and agreed
upon its
authenticity also the Hadith highlights
the virtue of maintaining one's
dignity patience and refraining from
asking people show no interest in what
people have remember there was a Hadith
in which a man asked the prophet
sallallah alhi wasallam guide me to
something that if I
do people will love me and if I do Allah
will love me he said with regards to how
to gain Allah's love lose interest in
the life of this world and its glitter
and it's holy
Temptation and lose interest stop
showing interest in what people have
people will love you because people do
not appreciate Those Who Stare at what
they have they Envy them and say lucky
you how did you get that but when you
when you're around people they have
plenty of things and you show no
interest like you know so what it's D
they appreciate you not you're
appreciating them for what they have
people will love you because you are a
man of the Hereafter of
aestheticism thirdly noble
characteristics Maybe attained and
gained by
training you got to practice verse
number
69 the almighty Allah
says so Allah promises you strive for
Allah's sake he stands next to you he
shall guide you to his straight path and
he will be always next to
you and then we also learned that the
prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam made a
true promise in the words whoever
strives to maintain his dignity Allah
will help him to maintain his dignity
whoever seeks to maintain his dignity
and not ask from other than the almighty
Allah the almighty Allah will make him
independent and will suffice for him his
need so he doesn't have to turn to other
than the almighty Allah the Hadith also
highlights the virtue of making oneself
refrain uh from asking from anyone other
than the almighty
Allah so the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said in one Hadith that the
believer is very
distinguished because his traits are
very distinct
how excellent is the condition of a
Believer he's always in good condition
if he's gifted with a blessing he's
grateful to Allah and that is good for
him if he's tested with a Calamity with
poverty with the loss of loved ones he
is patient and that two is good and no
one behaves like that but a True
Believer indeed patience is the greatest
gift and nothing to be gifted with
better than patience May the Almighty
Allah make us
among who bear witness to do what Allah
has commanded to Bear witness to abstain
from what Allah has forbidden and to
Bear witness whenever we're Afflicted
with any Calamity till next time
