Jottings at Adabul Mufrad class Ep. 360 with Sheikh Abu Naasir hafidhohulLah.

(Summarizing the last class)
Hayaa means alot more that the meaning of Modesty. Hayaa is a character that will prevent you one from doing any indecent act. Something inside you that hold you back because of Īmān. As a person of Īmān, (you say) 'it won't be proper for a mu'min to talk back like this'. As Muslim woman, being on Hijab, Niqab, Jilbab contradicts free mixing with men, she wouldn't be discussing with them, shaking hands, mixing with them, all of these contradicts the principle of Hijab. Hijab itself is to prevent you from men.

Same with the unmarried man, you shouldn't be free discussing with women... They are on Niqab, Jilbab, hijab...you wouldn't speak indecently. That thing inside you holding you back from all of these is HAYAA because of Īmān. A woman insult you in public, you wouldn't insult her back - another man's wife and daughter. We can give a lot of example (to explain Hayaa). Hayaa is what keeps you back from relating with people indecently. That thing holding you back is from the branches of Īmān.

Shyness and Modesty cannot properly define Hayaa. It (Hayaa) will hold you back, don't dress like this, it is not proper. Don't barb punk, a male - don't put on earrings. What will hold you back is Hayaa. If a person lacks it (HAYAA), he/she talks anyhow, quarrel anyhow, insult people as they like, they say 'I can insult anybody'. If you have Hayaa, you will know you must not insult people, you mustn't be obscene. Yoruba will say 'ko ni epo loju', that 'epo' is the HAYAA that has removed from you. Hayaa will pull you back, but if it is lost, you do anyhow you like.

Īmān comes with levels, (consequently) people of Īmān also have levels. The lowest level of Īmān is to remove harm from the road. When a person have little Hayaa, it means the person have little Īmān. It is from the symbol of Īmān.
Sheikh Abu Naasir

(Mentioning about some occurrence experienced in Makkah recently)
When we were in transit, we were all tired and slept off, a small girl of say 3 years, kept saying the talbiya, her tiny voice saying 'Labbayka Allahumma labbayk....' woke us up and we continued chanting it. This is a good way to nuture your child, you take pride in taking your children to UK, don't forget to take them for Umrah to develop and nuture their Īmān.

Pay attention to going to Makkah and Madinah. When you travel to UK, france people won't tell you to (that you should have) bring the money to mosque o, but when you say you want to go for Umrah or Hajj, (they start to tell you, you should have donated it to mosque and all of that).
Once it is easy for you, do it. It is an investment (in your hereafter). What you are doing to gather reward, might not be easy for others.

Assalamu alaykum,

We apologise that our Halqat A'aisha on Kitab al-Kaba'ir by Al-Imam Adh-Dhahabi - may Allah be pleased with him - will unavoidably not hold today, Friday (10-01-2025) due to tiredness from recent journeys.

We will return to class next Friday, inshaa Allah.

Question and Answer

'Please is it regarded as part of shyness/modestly if an elder falsely continuously cast aspersion on someones authority (leading a Madrasah/islamiyyah) and keeping quiet for . What if someones reply him?'
A: I always advice people when relating with elders to be patient. If an elder insult you and you want to reply, the topic will change because people won't ask what he did to you, the narration will change they will insult you. Avoid things that will make people insult you. That is from the oppression of elders on young ones.

You, Keep it like that, because once you reply even if he is unjust to you, you will be blamed. The elder won't say the negative thing he did to you. I beg you by Allah, you should try not to make the motive change. It requires a lot of patience, and that is HAYAA we just explained. Once the elderly man say, 'he is very rude, see as he is insulting me', you will need more patience than before (to clear yourself). Avoid insulting an elder, whether you are in the right or wrong. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get soap and water to wash yourself clean when an elder brand you with being insulting to him.

Jottings at Adabul Mufrad class Ep. 359 with Sheikh Abu Naasir today, Sunday, 5th January, 2025.

Today's chapter is on HAYAA, in a simple word, we usually translate it to mean Modesty or appreciable sense of shame but what does that really means. Hayaa is a character trait, a way of behaving that when you have it, it will prevent you from doing things indecent, any indecent action. Something holding you back from being indecent whether in your actions or talk. And the reason you want to get away from indecency is because of your Īmān. That is what we mean by HAYAA.

When someone is modest, he doesn't want to get indecent. In Qur'an (25:63) Allah said, Ibaadur-Rahman are those who walk calmly, when they walk by someone indecent, they move away honourably from indecency, because of the season we are in, we say, when they see non Muslims celebrate their festivals, they move away. The character trait that make them do this because of Īmān is HAYAA.

It is HAYAA not to be indecent, it is HAYAA for a woman not to expose her rings, not to expose her chains, neck lace. She doesn't expose them because it is from the actions of jaahilayya. When Allah describe Eesa's mother (66:12), she was a woman who would protect her 'farj', 'farj' here is the sleeve - The part that exposes when a woman stretch her hand. She wouldn't want it to get exposed. This is HAYAA, not making part of her body exposed. It is HAYAA. I hope we now know the meaning of HAYAA.

(Explaining Hadith 597)
The Prophet said... what people have heard from one generation to another generation from (the generation of) Aadam, like, It is a common thing among the generations not to worship anything aside Allah. It was also a common thing among them that If you don't have modesty, you can do as you like. It has been like that from Adam, Nuh, Ibraheem, Musa, Eesa down to the time of Muhammad. Just like Tawheed.

Those who are not modest - when they lack modesty, they do as they like. If a person has Hayaa, he doesn't say what he likes, he doesn't do what he wants, he only say what is appropriate and do what is appropriate because he has a character trait that prevents him from acting indecently because of Īmān. So because of Īmān you don't act indecently, you say 'why should a person of Īmān speak indecently, act indecently'. The urge not to do that is HAYAA.

A person wants to fight somebody then he is like 'Subhanallah, it wouldn't speak well of me to do this', that thing that prevents him is HAYAA but if you don't have it, you can talk anyhow anywhere, you can fight anyone anywhere, you can talk to your wife anyhow. Some people would even boldly say 'There is no one I can't insult', it is because you have low Hayaa. If you have, you won't have long tongue and speak to anybody anyhow.

Other things that were common (among generations), we mentioned Tawheed. From the prohibition is Zina and Riba. Allāh doesn't send a messenger that in his own Sharia, Zina is permissible likewise Riba - consuming usury. Shirk is Haram, Zina and Riba are Haram from generation to generation. Also Solah, it has always been from one generation to another. There are somethings that are allowed and later disallowed, like (during) Yūsuf, you are allowed to greet people bowing down like in Ruku', but Haram in the Sharia of Muhammad. In the time of Musa, they don't share booty of the war, during the time of Muhammad it was allowed. It was Halal sometime, Halal another time.

From the things generally accepted from generations to generations is having HAYAA. HAYAA is a character trait that prevents you from doing badly. Even if a bad word is said to you, Hayaa will prevent you from returning the bad action because of Īmān. You will see in you that as a person of Īmān, why should I say this. Those that do and say anything they like anyhow they like, that thing they lack is HAYAA.

(Explaining hadith 598)
Abu Hurayrah reported this Hadith, The Prophet (solallahu alayhi wa Salam) said, Īmān has sixty something or seventy something branches, the best of those branches, the most rewarding and the most highest of them before Allah is 'Laa ilaha illalLah'. The most important thing about Īmān is the declaration that no one deserves worship except Allah and the lowest of them is removing harm or hurt from the road, that is the lowest branch of Īmān.

One of the branches of Īmān is Al-HAYAA. Al HAYAA is a character that prevents an individual from getting to things that are bad, evil, shameful... because of Īmān. He will look at it and say I can't say/do this. The point of reference, why this hadith has been mentioned in this chapter is Hayaa. Ikhwah there must be HAYAA. What is this HAYAA, that is the character that prevents you from doing bad. Let us be saying the meaning, sometime some people don't understand when we say 'Modesty'.

When you have thoughts like 'Don't talk like that', 'Don't do like that', that thought that hold you back is called HAYAA. A man will avoid free communication with a woman that is not her sister because of HAYAA. Some women are like 'I don't care', her number is everywhere, anybody can call her, anybody can talk to her, she doesn't care.

Men, don't be like pure water, you can sit anywhere, joke anywhere, laugh anywhere, everything concerns you, every post concerns you, you get involve in everything, every talk. You carry comment from one person to another. He doesn't mind his/her business. You don't even respect yourself. You can't keep quiet. No lack of self restriction and moderation. We say you have little HAYAA, small Hayaa.

You get involved in everything. He talks too much, laugh too much, jokes too much, he talks everywhere, outside, inside... You carry news from one place to another. A Muslim should not be like this. Some women are like this too. All of these should stop, we should have self restrictions. That character that will help you control this is HAYAA.

It will affect your dressing, your look.(If you have Hayaa). You will pay attention to what you say and what you do. The way you carry yourself, when you walk, when you talk, when you smile, everything will be moderate. I beg Allah to make us of the people of HAYAA. It is not good at all that a man is shameless. Yoruba call it 'Asha', i.e he/she lacks modesty. If you are like this to your husband or wife he/she (won't like you) will just be managing you.

If you behave as you like, talk to anybody with no restriction, no guidelines like an animal walking on the street, you lack HAYAA.

We all have to go to the drawing board. If you lack it, learn it. I used to say it, we can learn characters (that we lack). We shall come back to explain better next week in sha Allah. We have about eight Ahadith under this chapter that means we are to spend more time explaining Haya because HAYAA is a branch of Īmān (hence important), hoping that Allah will make us people of HAYAA.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ الإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ، أَوْ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ، شُعْبَةً، أَفْضَلُهَا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَأَدْنَاهَا إِمَاطَةُ الأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الإيمَانِ‏.

598. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Faith consists of sixty (or seventy) branches. The best of them is 'There is no god but Allah.' The lowest of them is to remove harmful things from the road. Modesty is also a branch of faith."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ عُقْبَةُ قَالَ‏:‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ إِنَّ مِمَّا أَدْرَكَ النَّاسَ مِنْ كَلاَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ‏:‏ إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ‏.‏

597. Abu Mas'ud 'Uqba reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Part of what people have learned from the words of prophethood is the statement:
'If you do not feel ashamed, do whatever you like."

Jottings at Adabul Mufrad class with Sheikh Abu Naasir hafidhohulLah.

Today we will be talking on 'Accepting gift'.
The Prophet said "Give gifts and you will love one another." We should exchange gifts. And it is not just one person giving. One person receiving at a time and giving at another time. When one of you is done any goodness, let him return the goodness at least with good words. 'I really like it, oh I really love what you gave me, it is beautiful' and all of these encouragement. If he hides the goodness and doesn't return the goodness with goodness, it is wrong.Whoever is given gift or shown kindness should try to show it back too.

Exchange gifts among yourselves, give gifts. When we mention gift, the first thing that comes to our mind is money. It is not just money. When we were younger than this, sometimes when our mother cook they tell us to take some to the our neighbors. 'Tell them I cooked so so meal, so I sent their own.' In our own time, we are too nuclear with our dealings, we are not concerned about others. Many of us today are self centered - Just me and my family.

Give gifts. It (the hadith) encourages giving gifts and also the one given to give too. It shouldn't be a one-way thing, let it be two-way. If you don't have what to return, say good words, Make Dua. May Allah reward you, May Allah raise your rank, pray for him until he has a feeling that you have returned goodness for goodness. The first point is, Islam encourages us to give gift and also returning goodness with goodness. Brothers exchange gifts among yourselves. Sisters exchange gifts among yourselves.

Our mother Aisha had a younger sister, called Umul Khulthum, she was married to Talha ibn Ibaydullah, she had a daughter called Aisha - she is the one we are talking about. Scholars said she was from the most beautiful women. She is very beautiful, righteous and devoted. People do write her letter and gifts. They respect her intelligence and righteousness. Also for the love of her parents and people she was staying with. Aisha told her, whenever you are given gift and you don't have what to give in return, tell me. Gift can come from brother to sister, just make sure your intention is clear.

Give yourselves gift, you will love each other. If you have community people usually quarrel. Brothers, let them have mutual exchange of food, exchange of goodness, food, shoe, caps...even sending greetings. Send someone, our parents used to send us 'Go and help me meet so and so, it has been a while I hear from them, are they doing well'. Although, they were no phones, regardless beyond call and Whatsapp call (send greetings)...Be good.

People are proud, some people are very proud. When you do kindness to them they hold back to return it. They feel too big to receive gift or kindness and they also feel proud to return gift or goodness to others. This is not good.
Exchange of gifts increase love among two parties. It prevents them from slandering and backbiting.

(Explaining Hadith 595). Anas mother brought him up upon righteousness. His mother brought him to the Prophet, she gave Anas to him and said, 'Let this boy run your errand'. Whenever she meets her son on the road running errands for the Prophet. She used to be happy. In a visit, when the Prophet was about to leave, she - Umm Sulaym said, Make Dua for your young servant Anas. See the woman, she is requesting Dua for her son, wanting righteousness for him. The Prophet prayed for him. Some people will be thinking when they are only after righteousness for their children, they won't make money.

Let me fast forward it, Anas said, I do not see anyone in Madina who has the kind of wealth that I have. There's a plant that grows once a year, in the land of Anas, Allah made it grow twice a year. The Dua. The Prophet said, 'O Allah, grant Anas profuse wealth and lot of children'. Point of benefit, from the favour of Allah upon a person is that Allah grant them lot of children. If it is not a favour, the Prophet won't have asked for it for Anas.

At old age , Anas children and grandchildren had pass 120. Another Dua Prophet made for him is Jannah. Before this, he asked Allah to bless his life. He lived for 110 or 120 years. He used to say I am only waiting for the fourth Dua to get accepted and that is Jannah (other three have been granted is his lifetime). His service to the Prophet brought him this good. Who bring it to him? His mother. That's why I used to say women have big roles to play in the life of children. Yes Men have roles too.

People, instead of them to think and take lessons (when talking about roles of women) they say 'What of men?' and that is how some people don't end up taking any lessons. In somewhere like lagos, if you were stopped for passing BRT lane, will you be telling them 'but that person also take the BRT lane'. Women have big roles to play in the life of children. If the women in the home are not righteous, the children in the home will hardly be righteous.

Giving gift will settle what is between people. It will increase love. Encourage the act of giving among yourselves. Among children, the parents should encourage giving gifts, one child should give his/her brother/sister and he/she should also give too. Children should be grown up like this. Anas started the lessons from his household. He told his children to always exchange gifts. One thing that can strengthen relationship is to give gifts among yourselves.

Explaining the third hadith.
When a brother give you a gift to invite you to evil, you can reject it. She shouldn't say but the Prophet said we should give gifts... A brother to brother too, when a brother give you to manipulate you. Some gift can be dirty. When we know the motive behind the thing is dirty, it can be rejected.

A man from Banu Fazara gave a camel to the Prophet. The Prophet doesn't accept Sodaqoh but gifts. Sodaqoh, (is what) you give to someone that is poor or needs it. But I like a cap, I know he will like it, I buy it for him, that is a gift, even if he doesn't really needs it. That man gave a gift of a camel to the Prophet, giving a camel that time is like giving someone a car in our own time.

The Prophet returned the goodness with a gift. The man considered it small, he was expecting something bigger than what he gave. He thinks that when he gives the Prophet, he will give him something bigger. Allah has prohibited this for us, that when you give a gift you should anticipate for something more. You gave one table water you are expecting a pack. You give someone N10k gift, you are like 'when he will give me a gift in return, it will be N1m.'

The man considered the gift small and hated it. Abu Hurayrah said, I heard the Prophet said, 'one of you or some of you give a gift, I returned it with the extent of what I have and he disparage it.'
If you give someone gift and they return it with something smaller, do not hate it or feel disgusted that 'See what I gave you, see what you give me'. It should come with a good mindset.

To make us know it's a serious matter, the Prophet went to say it at the minbar. He said 'I swear by Allah, after this year I will never accept any gift form the bedouins, except for someone from Quraysh, Ansari, Naani Thaqafi and Dawsi. He gave exception because those ones are civilized, they won't give gift in expectation of something bigger, and they will appreciate whatever I give in return.

I remember when we were in Hajj, we were returning from Madina, the brother may be listening to this. I bought 7up, then, it was sold for 1 Riyal, now it's 2½ riyals. I bought two for myself because I knew we will need to hydrate. When I saw the brother, he is nice and by the standard of our relation he is rich. I asked him are you not buying anything, he said he doesn't feel like buying anything so I told him take this 7up because I knew he must be tired. He quickly collected it, he opened it and drank it.

When me met again in Lagos, he asked me why did you gave me the drink that day, I told him because I knew we were all exhausted. He said that was the first time he is receiving a gift. People, all they want is to take from him, they don't give him.
So don't say the gift is small, I gave him a drink of 1 riyal (and it meant a lot to him).

(However) If you know he will scorn you or when you give him a gift in return he will scorn you like Yorubas would say 'Iwo si emi'. If a person is like that, his own gift doesn't deserve to be accepted.
Be sincere when you give gift, let it be with good intention.

Next class (tomorrow) we will be talking about modesty in sha Allah. When we mention modesty what comes to people's mind is shyness. We will explain all of that in sha Allah.

Question and Answer
Q:Please I have a neighbor, I often share food with him, but he seems to rely on my help instead of seeking employment. Is it wrong to reduce my food sharing to discourage dependence and encourage him to find work.

A: Don't stop. You can find him a job. A man came to the Prophet and asked this similar question. He said to him, Perhaps the one Allah is giving you is because of the one you are giving the person.
So, You can help him find a job, a good job not a difficult one and you start to say about 'I even got him one job gaan..' Do your own for the sake of Allah.

If the Prophet start a good deed, he doesn't stop it. Meanwhile you are giving him for the sake of Allah. Avoid stopping when he doesn't have other means. Don't form being superior. Allah is giving you more don't stop, except it start to burden you. So, continue to give him and advice him to get a job. Remind him that, The Prophet said the best meal is from the one earned by working with his own hands.

Q: Can someone slaughter a ram to show gratitude to Allaah for protecting him from evils such as someone who escaped kidnapping attack?

A: Yes, someone can sacrifice a ram to thank Allah. It's from the actions of Shukr. You can feast over it, it's a way of thanking Allah. The way we feast for Nikaah, building a house, returning safely from a journey. You can slaughter ram and invite your brothers to come to feast. It is Ibaadah because if you were to slaughter for other things than Allah, it will be shirk.

Ans: Yes, You can give gift with the hope that Allah will give you something better. Just like Ibaadah, you pray, fast and hope that Allah will accept it and reward you. Having good hope is good, that hope in Allah itself is a good deed.

Make good of her good side and overlook her shortcomings, overlook her mistakes. A man of Īmān shouldn't hate a woman of Īmān.
(Don't hate your wife), if there is a character you dont like about her, there is another thing you will like about her, it could be her look, be looking at that one too. Manage your homes.

Zakariya raised Maryam, whenever he visits maryam, he do see the food of rainy season during dry season with maryam. Allah does what He wills, don't you see how he praises HImself.

Keep this in mind Ikhwa. Whatever of mercy Allah opens to you wallahi nobody can stop it, Don't worry it will get to you. And what He doesn't give you, nobody can release it to you.

If you get something you pursued say AlhamduliLlah, if you dont get it, say 'AlhamduliLlah, It's not just by my efforts, it is by Allah's willingness too'.

The wife of Imran (Mother of Maryam) asked Allah for a child, Imran was the one leading Solah in Baytu Maqdis then, when his wife take in, he died. She said (prayed), 'what is in this my tommy, he will be free from being a slave to matters of this duniya, the entirety of his life will be for Allah' (as in Surah Al-Imran 3:35). Zakariyya was the 'rosul' during that time.
She thought she will have a male child.

What is your own intention for your children?. Whatever you want that to be, don't forget righteousness. Women especially. Our intention for our children matters alot. Most times the coolness of eyes (desired from our children) we think of is this world - driving big cars.
She (wife of Imran) followed the intention with Dua.

Decide well for your children.

When she gave birth to a daughter (Maryam), she feel bothered, the girl can't be an Īmām and all of that. A man is not like a woman (as in Surah Al Imran 3:36).

A man is not like a woman. Men go out, Allah said women should stay at home. It's now the reverse (in our own time). This one is the hammer on the head of the feminists. Even in language.
If Men is the same with Women (as feminists claim) why the difference in word. The fact that they are different word for male and female shows they are not the same. Women, don't allow the deceit of shytan to decieve you. 'Inna sa'yakum lashatta' - [Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes)].

It is irresponsible question young boys are asking females now 'What are you bringing to the table?' She is to recieve not bring. If she is also going out, will you now be telling her 'eran ti mi ninu adua o' (remember me in your Dua), she will tell you 'emi gan oti gbadura fun ra mitan, ki lo se enu ti yin' (I haven't even finished praying for myself (and business), what happen to your own mouth).

Tell your boys. Raise them well. The boys have a job to do, all the sisters in the home, they are on their neck. You too when you get old, it is on him. Sometimes the women are being pushed by their parents when they put on them what's beyond them. It's the responsibility of the men. Inlaws, avoid asking your daughters for things she can't afford or compel her to collect from her husband.

When a woman is at home fully, you will see it in the child, you will see it in the psychology of the child. The mother that goes around, you will see it in her children too.

The wife of Imran named her daughter MARYAM. There is no child given birth to except that shaytan will touch him which will make him cry. It doesn't means shaytan have sultan over you. Maryam and her son Eesa were not touched. It's favour of Allah on her.

Allah made Maryam grow up in a nice way, beautifully and quickly (as in Surah Al Imran 3:37).
Some scholars said it means she started to grow upon righteousness.

Three virtues of Maryam from the Dua of her Mother.
1. Allah accepted her - MARYAM right from birth.
2. She was growing up beautifully and her deen going up.
3. Zakariyya took care of her education and growth i.e under the eyes of a righteous person, a Prophet.
From the favours of a person is to grow up under a person of sunnah. All these virtues from the Dua of her mother.

Women, make Dua for your children. I plead to you.
Ummuat, make Dua for your children. Not that you will running about with Nationwide delivery. You are always on call with drivers 'se eti deliver?' (have you delivered). 'Ibo lo ti fe ranti se adura fun awon Òmò e pelu nationwide delivery' (How do you want remember to always pray for your children when all that concerns you is nationwide delivery).

Zakariyya noticed that everytime he went to see Maryam, he sees fresh foods with her so he asked how come?. She ascribed the food to Allah (Q3:37)
Teach your children aqeedah. When you give them food, ask them who give you food?. Who will give you tomorrow?. Wallahi, it's Allah that provides.
During covid 19, we understand this. Even Alabaru that doesn't eat until he works, he didn't know how he was eating during COVID-19.

When Maryam told Zakariyya, Zakariyya said I will ask Allah too for He provided you this kind of food in this time. Even though he was old, He asked Allah, give me righteous offsprings. (As in Surah Al-Imran 3:38)

An angel came to Maryam. She was full of righteousness. The angel said to her. Allah has chosen you and raised your rank.. (Surah Al Imran 3:42). The Prophet said, the best of women all over the world, one of them was MARYAM.

She would pray tahajjud and pray to Allah. Spend long time in Qiyam, Ruku' and Sujud.
Many women today can't stand up for tahajjud because their thoughts are scattered, they desire what they cannot achieve. Setting wrong objectives, wrong goals.

Let me give you practical example of what we've been saying. When I did aqeeqoh for one of my children, my mother came. After preparing the ram in the morning we came to eat breakfast. I asked her what are you doing?, she said I am doing Asalatu. I asked her since when have you been doing this, she said 'ki n to bi e' (before I gave birth to you).

She would wake up at 2am to pray. She fasted the whole 30days last Ramadan, at 97 years old.
I asked her what do you do (in her prayers), she said Astaghfirullah - fun aforiji, la ilaha illalLah', iyen lama fi wo alujonna, Asalatu - (I took Solatul fatih from her during undergraduate days). She said the Asalatu - ounje tiyin niyen, ti ema je alubarika re (that is for you, the blessings from it will be upon you)

You, shey it is nationwide delivery (you carry for head) that will be the 'Baraka' your children will benefit from.

Whenever we are going for Jumu'ah, she'll give me money to help her do Sodaqoh. I will tell her, they give you the money for personal spendings, she would say, I must do Sodaqoh too.
You, E ko nwo Jilbab ati Niqab, ki le fi se. Kini isunmo Olohun oba yin?

She (maryam) went for a need, we sent our messenger (Jubril) to her. Maryam was surprised seeing a handsome man. It shows that she doesn't mix with men. You going around with Nationwide delivery, how will you avoid men, even the nonsense men engage with you.

Jubril brought the Ruh, Allah gave his Kalimah, no zygote like us. Be and it became Eesa in the womb of Maryam. This is from the aspect of Allah does what He wills.
Eesa has no right to tell anybody to worship him.

Any righteous man you know, go and look for his mother.
One of the biggest role of the man is don't bring Haram home, when you do, you are gradually poisoning the Īmān of your family.

Majorly, the women will determine the righteousness of the children. Even you (the husband) many times they are the one who wake you up for tahajjud. Even Allah commanded the Prophet to take Hafsa back.

Men, take care of your children. These days it's women who take care of children. Irrespective of divorce or no divorce, men take care of your children. All the expenses, accomodation, maintenance are on you.

Next in sha Allah: Jottings at KBC Day 3 by Sheikh Abu Naasir

Jottings at KBC Day 2, Class 2.
Lessons from the life of Eesa by Sheikh Abu Nāsir hafidhohulLah.

The life of Īsā started with his mother. From good example of people of Īmān is MARYAM. She happened to be the only woman that have been mentioned by her name in the Quran not just her name, her father's name too IMRAN. Maryam means KHAADIMU RABB - The one who serves her Lord, the one who gives servitude to Allah, that is the meaning of MARYAM. Her own life started with her mother. This program (lecture) is designed to pick lessons from their life not to tell stories. There are three lessons I highlighted.

1. The impact of women and how women can strongly impact the society and the world at large. Women are to influence their children positively and her herself to be in servitude to Allah not running about. When a woman say 'What should I be doing at home'?. (We say) Do Ibaadah.
In the story of Musa. Allah sent Musa to fir'awn, He sent the person that will destroy him to him, you will be the one to raise him and he will destroy you (Fir'awn). Allah does what He wills and make the impossible possible. He says you should stay in your home, you are doubting Allah (for provision...)

The first lesson I like to highlight is that women are big (agent) in influencing the society. Women are to be at home to be making Ibaadah, taking care of the home and bringing goodness to their children. Maryam's mother impacted her daughter, and Maryam positively impacted her son Eesa, just as we saw the negative impact of her mother in the life of the son of Nuh.

2. Our Lord does what He wills. At all time, He decree what He wills. We will be referring back to this in sha Allah as we discuss.

3. The humility of Eesa - Humbleness. If Eesa humbles himself to Allah, how then can he be God. When Allah will ask Eesa on the Day of Qiyama if he is the one that commands people to worship him and his mother, he would respond humbly. It is not in my place to say such....(as in Surah Al-Maida 5:116)
My brother (Abu Sekeena) said, 'Know your worth', me I say 'Know your limit, and stop there'.

Between Musa and Eesa was about 1800 years. Imran is the father of Maryam. Imran and Maryam are names that are already well known in the community.
The virtue of Adam is that Allah moulded him with His hands. Allah himself put life to Adam. For Eesa, Jibril blew the ruh through the sleeves of Maryam. Maryam would always cover her sleeves when it opens, a woman that would always cover her sleeves how will she be to her whole body. It's through this sleeve that Jibril blew the ruh. (Sheikh demonstrated it).

KalimatuLlah, that is Allah's word that He used to create Adam. This ruh, Allah ascribe it to Himself, it belongs to Him not that it is part of Allah. It was brought by a malaika. Eesa has two virtues, the ruh and KalimatuLlah - the word 'BE'. For us human being we only have ruh and zygote. Ruh come into zygote from both male and female and it become all of us. For Adam, there is no zygote. No man and woman intercourse.

Adam doesn't have a zygote no male, no female. He has Ruh and KalimatuLlah.
Eesa also have Ruh and KalimatuLlah, female without male.

Hawaa - Women are created from the ribs of men. The most bent of the rib, the uppermost part, that is where they are created. Some scholars said, she grew like a plant would grow from the rib of Adam, this is a different kind of creation o, why didn't we now worship Hawaa and Aadam (because of their special creation) why Eesa. It's Allah doing what He wills.

(Because) She is created from a bent rib, she can't behave straight to you. My wife is a hafidho, niqabi, tall, slim, yellow...that is the sraight part, she will show you the bent part later. Manage her like that.
If you want her to be straight in everything you will break her. My wife must be good in everything, it means you want to send her away.

قال الإمام مسلم رحمه الله تعالى : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ رَافِعٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ : حَدَّثَنَا، وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى فِيهِ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقْتُ فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ : فَبَيْنَا أَنَا بِالشَّأْمِ إِذْ جِيءَ بِكِتَابٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ - يَعْنِي عَظِيمَ الرُّومِ - قَالَ : وَكَانَ دَحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ جَاءَ بِهِ، فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى عَظِيمِ بُصْرَى، فَدَفَعَهُ عَظِيمُ بُصْرَى إِلَى هِرَقْلَ، فَقَالَ هِرَقْلُ : هَلْ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَوْمِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ ؟ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ. قَالَ : فَدُعِيتُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى هِرَقْلَ، فَأَجْلَسَنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّكُمْ أَقْرَبُ نَسَبًا مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ : فَقُلْتُ : أَنَا. فَأَجْلَسُونِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَأَجْلَسُوا أَصْحَابِي خَلْفِي، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَرْجُمَانِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : قُلْ لَهُمْ : إِنِّي سَائِلٌ هَذَا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، فَإِنْ كَذَبَنِي فَكَذِّبُوهُ. قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ : وَايْمُ اللَّهِ، لَوْلَا مَخَافَةُ أَنْ يُؤْثَرَ عَلَيَّ الْكَذِبُ لَكَذَبْتُ. ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتَرْجُمَانِهِ : سَلْهُ : كَيْفَ حَسَبُهُ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِينَا ذُو حَسَبٍ. قَالَ : فَهَلْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا. قَالَ : فَهَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالْكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا. قَالَ : وَمَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ ؟ أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ، أَمْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ. قَالَ : أَيَزِيدُونَ، أَمْ يَنْقُصُونَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا، بَلْ يَزِيدُونَ. قَالَ : هَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ سَخْطَةً لَهُ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا. قَالَ : فَهَلْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ. قَالَ : فَكَيْفَ كَانَ قِتَالُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : تَكُونُ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ سِجَالًا يُصِيبُ مِنَّا، وَنُصِيبُ مِنْهُ. قَالَ : فَهَلْ يَغْدِرُ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا، وَنَحْنُ مِنْهُ فِي مُدَّةٍ لَا نَدْرِي مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ فِيهَا. قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ، مَا أَمْكَنَنِي مِنْ كَلِمَةٍ أُدْخِلُ فِيهَا شَيْئًا غَيْرَ هَذِهِ. قَالَ : فَهَلْ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا. قَالَ لِتَرْجُمَانِهِ : قُلْ لَهُ : إِنِّي سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ حَسَبِهِ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ فِيكُمْ ذُو حَسَبٍ، وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْعَثُ فِي أَحْسَابِ قَوْمِهَا، وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ كَانَ فِي آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا، فَقُلْتُ : لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ، قُلْتُ : رَجُلٌ يَطْلُبُ مُلْكَ آبَائِهِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ أَتْبَاعِهِ، أَضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ أَمْ أَشْرَافُهُمْ ؟ فَقُلْتَ : بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ أَتْبَاعُ الرُّسُلِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ : هَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالْكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا، فَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَدَعَ الْكَذِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ يَذْهَبَ فَيَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ : هَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ سَخْطَةً لَهُ ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا، وَكَذَلِكَ الْإِيمَانُ إِذَا خَالَطَ بَشَاشَةَ الْقُلُوبِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ : هَلْ يَزِيدُونَ أَوْ يَنْقُصُونَ ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُمْ يَزِيدُونَ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْإِيمَانُ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ : هَلْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ، فَتَكُونُ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ سِجَالًا يَنَالُ مِنْكُمْ وَتَنَالُونَ مِنْهُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْتَلَى، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ لَهُمُ الْعَاقِبَةُ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ : هَلْ يَغْدِرُ ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْدِرُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ لَا تَغْدِرُ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ : هَلْ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ ؟ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَا فَقُلْتُ : لَوْ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ ؟ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ ائْتَمَّ بِقَوْلٍ قِيلَ قَبْلَهُ،

So, to the story, the man also found him a wife when he was of age. Some said it was his daughter or sister. The boy also requested that he wants to go and seek his knowledge somehere.


Before, people do leave their places to go and seek Knowledge. So the boy told the man about his intention to seek Knowledge. There is a lesson here too that you meet learned people whenever you want to do a thing to guide you. I remember then I asked Sheikh Najimdeen Sulayman who do I meet to take knowledge.
When the boy was about to leave where he went to learn, the scholar taught him three things.
The scholar told him to Fear Allah at all times, Be patient at every point in time and to not be in haste.

Let us relate these three things to knowledge. If there's no taqwa, no maintaining the limit of Allah, what benefit is your knowledge. Our gathering here every weekend will be useless if you don't fear Allah. Avoid the things HE has prohibited.

Next is Sabr. Why did he mention Sabr after Taqwa... Sometimes it will be difficult to maintain taqwa. Soemtimes some pain will be attached to obeying Allah, it is patience that will come to work. It can be in the aspect of money or upon the path of knowledge itself. Soemtimes you face difficulty. Patience is very important in the path of knowledge.

Some people will go to Madrasah one day, because they beat them or say some words to them they don't like, they run away. Your teacher is not your friend, he might be hard towards you. If you run away from madrasah, it is like you run away from a hospital where you are being treated of an illness that will be with you forever. Patience is so cardinal.
*Don't be in haste*, some students today, now now they want to finish a book, they want to read another book. Some students will even be the one to dictate the book they want to read. Hassan Al Basri said goodness lies in those three things mentioned.

Make it a duty not to be in haste. Do it well, think it well, prepare it well, seek advice. From the aspect of diligence is to seek guardiance from people and also Istikharah seeking Allah's guidance. Go to people that know about it to advice you, they have a duty to do so because the Prophet said when your brother seeks advice from you. Give him good advice.

Ikhwah don't be in haste, if you want to marry, think well, do it well. If you want to say YES to a man, don't let it be in haste. Consider them well. If you want to study in a University, find out properly. Don't be in a haste.

When you give advice, make it brief so they don't forget.

You cannot be diligent if you are not a patient person. You will loose carefulness if you are not patient.
Sheikh Abu Naasir

When the boy got home, he saw a man that slept at a separate side in the room where his wife was asleep. He went out to take his sword to deal with the man, getting outside he remembered the scholar's advice 'to Fear Allah, to be patient and not be in haste' so he returned it, he went again and did the same thing the second time, at the third time, he was standing by the man's head when the man woke up. He hurriedly hug him and kiss him, the man was his guardian. The man asked him about what he has gained from his journey to seek Knowledge and he explained how the knowledge he acquired kept him from killing the man. [End]

Jottings by Mas'ud Concepts - 09073500054

*Jottings at Adabul Mufrad class (Episode 351) with Sheikh Abu Naasir (hafidhohulLah)*

Sheikh started with the summary of last class.

Learn to keep private matters of people.
When someone ask you for some private matters about someone may be for Nikaah, we can tell them what is necessary. There must a reason behind it, a strong reason before you reveal the personal matters about someone to another person.

Keep good gatherings. Don't keep companion except with a person of Īmān. You hear some people say _'I have a best friend even though he is a Christian'_. You are making a mistake. Don't keep such companion, in the real sense of 'COMPANIONSHIP'. Don't make your companion a Kaafir. If you do that, they will not protect you from evil. You can say you relate with them well as your relatives, colleagues... but to say your 'SAAHIB', your COMPANION. Don't make that mistake.

Even Muslims that doesn't care about their Deen don't make them your companion, except you know your being with them will benefit them or you will be able to influence them. It is worse if it is with sinful people or their gathering. That's why you shouldn't see a Muslim say he wants to go and witness Osun Osogbo day. Our restrictions to sinfulness is not just to the sin but to the people of sins too. Avoid sinful people. Choose those you sit with.

Sheikh's explanation of today's Hadith on *Being Diligent in Affairs*

You want to do something and you want to be careful about it. And you start to ask yourself 'Is it necessary I do it', 'Is it necessary I say it', 'What is the best way to do it', 'What is the best way to say it' 'How do I best it'. If you are careful about matters like this, you will hardly make mistakes. From the very beginning you ask 'How do I do it well'. Having such mindset is *DELIGENCE*

Diligence is; When you want to say a thing, you say it well. When you dress, you dress well. When you eat, you eat well. You wear your shoe well. When you want to marry, you marry well. You relate with people well. You do things consciously well, deliberately. Individuals who are deliberately deliberate about life, you are going to be a very unique person. You'll be like Golden eagle among the people.

If you have a friend, you choosed him/her deliberately, you relate with people with good deliberately. You relate with good self esteem.
No 'Yama Yama'.
Every detail you are mindful of it, you are mindful of the implications before doing it. Having diligence, mindfulness and deliberateness. Not a Ghaafil. Careless.
Some people are actually not Ghāfilun - Nonchallant, but sometimes make mistakes. The lesser a person allow carelessness to come to his affairs, the more he comes close to diligence.

A diligent person has a reason for everything he is doing and careful. A diligent wife relate with husband deliberately well. A deligent person relate with good and benefits and not malign and backbite people. A diligent teacher teaches deliberately and passionately. When a person is like this, we say he is *DILIGENT*
Let us pay attention to this.

In this Hadith there's a story, let us pay attention to the story. A man died and left his son with his slave, he made him his son's guardian. There's a lesson here. Those who are your subordinate treat them well, tomorrow they may be the one in charge of your children. Or that you can leave your son with them if you are good with them and they are good to you. We were at a Nikaah yesterday, the bride's father was with an elderly man, he was a friend to the father of the bride's father (I hope I got this right). He was weeping that he wished his friend was alive. The man turns to be the one they go to whenever they need fatherly advice since their father was late.

Brothers, be nice to people, it may be your friend, colleague, neighbor, or someone you know so well that will be like that to your children. Keep good relationship with good people such that you can tell your children, if you want to do something and I am not around, meet this person he will guide you.

583. Al-Hasan said: “A man died and left a son and a mawlā. He made the mawlā his son’s guardian. This man was not remiss and continued to look after the boy until he came of age and then he found him a wife. Then the boy said to him, ‘Provide for me so that I can seek knowledge.’ He fitted him out. The boy then went to a man of knowledge and asked him to teach him. After a time the man said, ‘Tell me when you are ready to leave and I will teach you.’ The boy said, ‘I feel I should leave, so instruct me.’ The scholar said, ‘Have Taqwā (fearful consciousness of Allah). Have patience. Do not be hasty.’ ” Al-Hasan said, “This contains all good.” (He went on) “The boy left and could hardly forget these things for there were only three of them. When he reached his family, he dismounted. When he entered the house, there was a man (his guardian) sleeping separately from the boy’s wife who was asleep there. He said, ‘By Allah, what am I waiting for with this man!’ He went back to his mount and meant to take his sword, but he said (to himself), ‘Have Taqwā of Allah. Have patience. Do not be hasty.’ So he returned and, standing by the man’s head, said (again), ‘I will not wait at all to deal with this man!’ He went back to his mount and meant to take the sword, but again remembered the words. He returned again and while he was standing by the man’s head, the man woke up. When the man saw him, he hurried to embrace him and kissed him. He asked, ‘What happened to you after (you left) me?’ He said, ‘By Allah, I received a lot of blessing. By Allah, after I left you, I reached the point where I spent the night going three times between my sword and your head, and the knowledge that I have acquired kept me from killing you.’ ”

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِلاَلٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنًا لَهُ وَمَوْلًى لَهُ، فَأَوْصَى مَوْلاَهُ بِابْنِهِ، فَلَمْ يَأْلُوهُ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ وَزَوَّجَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ‏:‏ جَهَّزْنِي أَطْلُبِ الْعِلْمَ، فَجَهَّزَهُ، فَأَتَى عَالِمًا فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْطَلِقَ فَقُلْ لِي أُعَلِّمْكَ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ حَضَرَ مِنِّي الْخُرُوجُ فَعَلِّمْنِي، فَقَالَ‏:‏ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرْ، وَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِلْ‏.‏ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ‏:‏ فِي هَذَا الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ، فَجَاءَ وَلاَ يَكَادُ يَنْسَاهُنَّ، إِنَّمَا هُنَّ ثَلاَثٌ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَهْلَهُ نَزَلَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الدَّارَ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ نَائِمٍ مُتَرَاخٍ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَإِذَا امْرَأَتُهُ نَائِمَةٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا أُرِيدُ مَا أَنْتَظِرُ بِهَذَا‏؟‏ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ السَّيْفَ قَالَ‏:‏ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرْ، وَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِلْ‏.‏ فَرَجَعَ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ قَالَ‏:‏ مَا أَنْتَظِرُ بِهَذَا شَيْئًا، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ سَيْفَهُ ذَكَرَهُ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ اسْتَيْقَظَ الرَّجُلُ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ وَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَعَانَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ، وَسَاءَلَهُ قَالَ‏:‏ مَا أَصَبْتَ بَعْدِي‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ أَصَبْتُ وَاللَّهِ بَعْدَكَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، أَصَبْتُ وَاللَّهِ بَعْدَكَ‏:‏ أَنِّي مَشَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ بَيْنَ السَّيْفِ وَبَيْنَ رَأْسِكَ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ، فَحَجَزَنِي مَا أَصَبْتُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ عَنْ قَتْلِكَ‏.‏

*Jottings at Adabul Mufrad class (Episode 350) with Sheikh Abu Nāsir today Sat. Nov. 30, 2024*

Secrets of people are amaanah. When someone tells you something and looks left and right before telling you that means he doesn't want others to know about it. Let us learn to keep secrets of people.
Husbands regarding your wife. Men know everything about their wives, Don't go about telling people about her private matters. The Prophet said from the worst of people is a man that goes to disclose his wife's secrets. Be consciously careful about the secrets of your wife.

Also to the women, you have the secrets of your husband. The people should be fearful of Allah regarding this matter it is Amaanah. Allah will ask you about it. If your wife starts to tell you or you start to know secrets of your wife, keep it O brother. Whether at the time you are the best of friends or when you have issues. Don't let it be a means of punishing your wife is to reveal the secret between you both. In times of dispute, you see spouses saying things that they wouldn't say ordinarily.

If you come between people to settle dispute, don't seek beyond what is necessary. Don't hear what is beyond necessary, don't dig too much into their personal matters, O Brothers and Sisters.
This chapter is talking about preserving secrets, it is from the things our religion encourages. Keep your secrets too. Let your tommy be enough to keep your secrets.

Keep your secrets, don't expose yourself. If you expose yourself too much you become vulnerable. Don't go about telling people everything about yourself. Avoid it. Although sometimes it is necessary that they are given, like to a Doctor, lawyer, judge, or people who settle matters between couples, or teacher.
For the sake of Allah, keep the secrets. Preserve the privacy of individuals. Sometimes it is the company's privacy, confidential matters in your place of work, don't expose your place of work.

When there's widespread benefit to expose the secret, may be for people to learn or take benefits so that they know how to navigate life. Provide how much of what is necessary to benefit from.
Islam encourages individuals to keep their privacy. Keep your confidential matters with you and when there's need to say it, just say what is necessary.

An individual like to sit with different set of people to take benefits from them. Like you sit with learned people and you learn from them things regarding to the religion. Some of the people their mind are hard because they don't regularly listen to admonitions. If you sit with noble people you behave nobly and not like people with nonchalant attitude, you have self esteem.

The companion said, he will sometimes sit with bad people to know about them. He said he would see a person that would want to divorce his wife on very small matter. People of low behavior treat their wives as if they are handkerchief. They can say, if this particular team should lose this match, I will divorce my wife. The point here is, the one who is very intelligent and knowledgeable, he can sit with bad people to know how they conduct themselves and correct them, even though it is dangerous. Once it's known that a set of people are evil the basic rule is to keep away from them - from sinful people and people of innovations.

It's like the one that sit with a blacksmith and he blow billows to him, you can relate it with sitting with one who takes cigarettes, it will definitely afflict you. Infact when you leave you start oozing with smell of smoke.
You want to tell someone to leave a sin, you can go to his place right at the place he is commiting the sin. If you have don't have influence on them or the ability to influence them *Don't go and sit with them*. Sitting with people of desire make the mind weak. You can sit with different people to learn from them like farmers, business persons.... And if you are the one to give benefits to them, sit for the time necessary.

It is not every person that is suitable to sit down with is suitable to take as companion. And it is not every person you make friends with that you can expose every of your matters to.
...It could be that you are in a gathering and you are mentioning something confidential and someone you are not comfortable with comes in, someone that will be happy you are telling your secrets and quickly take it to Facebook or Whatsapp. You can say to him 'the matter we are discussing here is private don't take it to social media'. You have to be emotionally intelligent.

Some people in their gathering all they do is exposing people's secret. The kind of Whatsapp group where women belong to where they are free to share the privacy of their husbands fall into this category. Stay away from such groups where
all that concerns them is the private matters of other women's husband. Husbands too should behave and not expose the privacy of their wives. Keep the secrets of your spouse as secrets. This is Amaanah.

If there's a pressing benefit in saying it, you can say what is necessary. If is to discourage people from what is good, like a woman who have bad experience in marriage and start to say bad about marriage that the young people start to see marriage as scam, don't say it. Marriage is not a scam. Some people are like that, they start to make their mistakes as if it is institutional and it is actually personal. Marriage is not bad, you are the one that marry someone that is bad. Let them know.

The institution is good you are the one that made mistake. There are people really really enjoying their marriages. So make it clear that marriage is good but you are the problem or your spouse. Infact those enjoying their marriages take the majority, they are enjoying their marriages and managing theirselves.
Let us manage what we say to the people and the kind of gathering we keep. *Keep confidential matters confidential.* *Keep private matters private* *Keep personal matters personal* If there's need to say it for benefits, say what is sufficient for the benefits to be attained. Don't go and talk talk talk...

Don't disclose confidential matters with some people... there are some brothers once it reach them, it will reach the whole world. If there's someone that will tell those kinds of brothers in your gathering, block them. Don't let them be in gathering of confidential matters.
If a person like that a particular thing about him is not known to the people. Respect their privacy. [End]
Many people make this mistake. That your children have memorized the Quran and know Arabic doesn't mean they have understanding of the Deen. You have only given them raw materials. You have to give them the process to make it to a product. To make the knowledge beneficial to them in their day to day life. Look for a good school secondary school where they combine Islamic sciences and western education or mundane knowledge till they are enough to proceed on their own (in the University). [Q&A session]
Class continues tomorrow in sha Allah.

٥٧٦. حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هِنْدَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ قَالَ‏:‏ قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ‏:‏ يَا أَبَا ظَبْيَانَ، كَمْ عَطَاؤُكَ‏؟‏ قُلْتُ‏:‏ أَلْفَانِ وَخَمْسُمِئَةٍ، قَالَ لَهُ‏:‏ يَا أَبَا ظَبْيَانَ، اتَّخِذْ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالسَّابْيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَلِيَكُمْ غِلْمَةُ قُرَيْشٍ، لاَ يُعَدُّ الْعَطَاءُ مَعَهُمْ مَالاً‏.‏

576. Abu Dhubyan related that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab asked him, "Abu Dhubyan, how large is your (soldier's) stipend?" "2500," he replied. He told him, "Abu Dhubyan, it was taken from agriculture and increased livestock before the lads of Quraysh were appointed over you. They do not consider the stipend to be income."

٥٧٥. حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ‏:‏ عَجِبْتُ لِلْكِلاَبِ وَالشَّاءِ، إِنَّ الشَّاءَ يُذْبَحُ مِنْهَا فِي السَّنَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَيُهْدَى كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَالْكَلْبُ تَضَعُ الْكَلْبَةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَالشَّاءُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهَا‏.‏

575. Ibn 'Abbas said, "I never cease to wonder at dogs and sheep. Such-and-such a number of sheep were slaughtered in the year and such-and-such a number were sacrificed for hajj. One bitch has a litter of such-and-such a number of puppies, and sheep have more than the dog."

574. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The head (or summit) of disbelief lies towards the east and the pride and arrogance lie in people who possess horses and camels who are also coarse - the bedouins. Tranquillity lies in people who possess sheep."

572. Humayd b. Mālik b. Khuthaym said: “I was sitting with Abū Hurayra on some land he owned at al-‘Aqīq when some people from Madīna came to him on animals and dismounted.”
Humayd went on, saying that Abū Hurayra said, “Go to my mother and tell her, ‘Your son sends you greetings of salam and asks you to give us something to eat.’ ” Humayd said, “She put three barley loaves, some olive oil and salt on a platter and I put it on my head and carried it to them. When I placed it before them, Abū Hurayra said ‘Allāhu Akbar wa Al-Hamdu Lillāh, Allah is Greater and praise be to Allah Who has given our fill of this bread to us whose only food used to be the two black ones - dates and water.’ The other people before us, (i.e. Companions of the Prophet
alayhi salatu wa salaam) did not get this kind of food. When they left, he said, ‘Nephew, be good to your sheep. Brush the dust and mucous off them. Make their evening pasture good and pray near them. They are among the animals of the Garden. By Him who holds my soul in His hand, the time has almost come on people when it will be better for someone to have a flock of sheep than to be in the house of Marwān (the governor of Madīna).’”
