And Musa said to Allah, O Allah, accept this man's du'a. Allah sent a revelation on Nabiullah Musa. Allah said to him, this individual that you see that's begging me, if this man, he lost his nafs, begging me, he's begging me so much that he loses his nafs.And this man raised his hand to the sky, it reached the sky. Allah Ta'ala he said, I will not accept his du'a. Nabiullah Musa said to Allah, why will you not accept his du'a? Allah Ta'ala he said, and I want every single one of you who's listening to pay attention to the response of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.A'udhu billahi min shururi anfusina wa sayyi'ati a'malina, man yahdihi allahu fala mudhillalah, waman yudhlil fala hadiyalah, wa ashadu an la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, wa ashadu anna muhammadan idduhu wa rasuluh, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu ittaqullaha haqqa tuqatihi, wa la tamutunna illa wa antum muslimun. Ya ayyuha an-naasu ittaqu rabbakumu allathee khalaqa kum min nafsin wahida, wa khalaqa minha zawjaha, wa battha minhuma rijalan kathiran wa nisa'a, wa ittaqullaha allathee tasa'alun bihi wal arham, inna allaha kana alaykum raqeeba. Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu ittaqullaha wa quluu qawlan sadeeda, yuslih lakum a'malakum, wa yaghfir lakum dhunubakum, waman yuta'illaha wa rasulahu faqadifaza fawzan azeema.Amma ba'd, fa inna asdaqal hadithi kitaabullah, wa khayra alhadi hadi muhammadin sallallahu alayhi wasallam, wa sharra al-umuri muhdathatuha, wa kulla muhdathatin bid'ah, wa kulla bid'atin dhalalah, wa kulla dhalalatin finnaar, amma ba'd. Now, my brothers and sisters, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, in a hadith in which you can find in Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Abu Hurairah radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu, and this hadith you can also find it in the 40 hadith of Al-Imam An-Nawawi rahimahu Allah ta'ala. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he said, ayyuhan naas, oh people, inna allaha tayyibun laa yakabalu illa tayyibaa, wa inna allaha amara almu'mineena bimaa amara bihi almursaleena faqala ta'ala, yaa ayyuhan rusulu kuluu minat tayyibati wa amaluu salihan inni bimaa ta'amaloona aleem, wa qala ta'ala, yaa ayyuhan ladheena aamaluu kuluu minat tayyibati maa razaqnaakum, thumma dhakara alrajula yuteelu assafara ash'atha aghbara yamuddu yadaihi ila assamai yaqul, yaa rab, yaa rab, wa mat'amuhu haram, wa masharabuhu haram, wa malbasuhu haram, wa ghudhiya bil haram fa anna yustajabu lidhalik.The Prophet ﷺ, he said in this hadith, ayyuhan naas, O people, the Prophet is addressing us ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ here is addressing us regarding a very important matter. And this hadith, my brothers and sisters, is a hadithun azeemun saheehun, it's a hadith which is great, and it's a hadith which is authentic. And this hadith, my brothers and sisters, yurakkizu ala aslin khateerin fee deenillahi rabbil alameen, it's a hadith that focuses on a very important matter regarding the religion of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and that is consuming halal and the dangers of consuming haram.This hadith warns us regarding the consumption of haram and it connects us to the importance of consuming halal and how it affects our dua, and that it's from the preventative factors that prevent our dua being accepted. If you eat halal, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will accept your dua, with other conditions of course that are required. There's a athar that's mentioned anna Musa alayhi salam marra bi rajulin qaimin yad'u Musa alayhi salam, the prophet of Allah, marra bi rajulin, he went by a man, qaimin, the man was standing, yad'u Allaha, he was begging Allah.This man, he was begging Allah, yamuddu yadayhi, he raised his hands up. This man, yuhlifu fiddua'i wa yulifhu feehi, this man was begging and he was begging and he was asking and he was asking and he was going on and on and on. Musa alayhi salam, wahuwa yanzuru ilayhi zamanan taweela, the athar says that Musa alayhi salam, he looked at the man for a very long time, and he looked at how this man is being humbling himself for Allah and begging him and requesting from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala a certain thing.And Musa was looking at him for a long time. Then what Nabi Allah and Musa did was, fada'a Musa rabbahu, Musa then called on to his Lord Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And Musa said to Allah, amastajabta lahu ya rabbi, oh Allah, accept this man's dua, accept this man's dua.And then, fa awha allahu jallat qudratuhu ila Musa alayhi salam, Allah sent a revelation on Nabi Allah and Musa. And what did Allah say to Nabi Allah and Musa? Allah said to him, inna hadha, this individual that you see that's begging me, law talaffat nafsuhu fid dua'i, if this man loses, law talaffat, sorry, inna hadha law talaffat nafsuhu fid dua'i, if this man, he lost his nafs, begging me, he's begging me so much that he loses his nafs, wa madda yadayhi ila anani assama'i, and this man raised his hand to the sky, it reached the sky, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he said, mastajabta lahu, I will not accept his dua. This man, if he dies begging me, because of how much he keeps begging me, dies begging me, and he raises his hand so much, so high, that it reaches the sky, mastajabta lahu, I will not accept his dua.Fa qala, Nabi Allah and Musa said to Allah, wa lima dhalika ya rabbi, my lord why is that the case? Why will you not accept his dua? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he said, and I want every single one of you who is listening, every single one of you to pay attention to the response of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah said, inna fee batnihi haram, ama inna fee batnihi haram, this man in his stomach is haram, wa ala dhahrihi wa fee baytihi haramu, and on his back, and in his house, this man is consumed and full of haram. That's why our Prophet ﷺ, he stated in this hadith that I just recited at the beginning in Sahih Muslim, in Hadith Abu Huraira, the Prophet, that's why he said, ayyuha an-nasu O people, it's not a matter, it's not restricted to one or two people.This hadith of aklul halal, eating halal and consuming halal, it's not a matter restricted to a particular group of people, it's not only restricted to men, or restricted only to the women, it's not an issue that's connected only or restricted to the rulers, no and it's not something that's only restricted to the society, the community, it's actually a matter that every single body, that's why the Prophet ﷺ said, ayyuha an-nasu, it's a qadhiya amma, it's a matter which is general, laa tatawakafu nda hududin, it does not stop at a boundary, and it doesn't stop at a particular group of people. So the Prophet, he didn't just say, ayyuha al-mu'minoon, no, this even goes to the non-Muslims, it goes to everybody, ayyuha an-nasu, O people, innallaha tayyibun, Allah is tayyib, Allah is good, subhanahu wa ta'ala, tayyibun fee dhatihi, tayyibun fee sifatihi, tayyibun fee af'alihi, Allah is good in His essence, subhanahu wa ta'ala, He is good in His characteristics and His attributes and His actions, subhanahu wa ta'ala, laa yaqbalu illa tayyiban, and because of that He does not accept and will not take in only that which is good, that's all He will take, laa yaqbalu illa tayyiban, and the thing that is tayyib has to be tayyibun fee dhatihi, tayyibun fee wasfihi, it has to be good in its essence, and it has to be also good in its description, Allah is tayyib, subhanahu wa ta'ala, munazzahun an kulli naqsin, Allah is exalted from all deficiencies and shortcomings, subhanahu wa ta'ala, mawsufun bi kulli kamalin, Allah we describe Him with all good, subhanahu wa ta'ala, inna allaha tayyibun, laa yaqbalu illa tayyiban, He will only accept that which is good. My brothers and sisters, Allah categorised subhanahu wa ta'ala the land, and He categorised the land into good and bad, subhanahu wa ta'ala, so there is no third category, there is only two categories, it is either tayyib or it is khabeef, qala ta'ala Allah says in suratul a'raf, walbaladut tayyibu yakhruju nabatuhu bi izni rabbih, walladhi khabutha laa yakhruju illa nakida, Allah divided the qasama Rabbul Izzah, al bilada ila tayyibin wa khabeefin, good and bad, walbaladut tayyibu, the land which is good, yakhruju nabatuhu bi izni rabbih, it produces vegetations and fruits and with the permission of who? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and that which is filthiness, walladhi khabutha laa yakhruju illa nakida, the land that is filthy will only produce that which is filthy, and this is not restricted to the land, no, the people are also like that, there are people who are tayyib and there are people who are khabeef, just like the land, why? Because we were created from the substance of this land, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in surah an-nur, al khabithatu lil khabithina wal khabithuna lil khabithati wal tayyibatu lil tayyibina wal tayyibuna lil tayyibati, al khabithatu lil khabithin, the filthy women are for the filthy men, wal khabithuna, the filthy is for the filthy, man and woman, for each other, wal tayyibatu lil tayyibina wal tayyibuna lil tayyibati, the men who are good are for the women that are good, and the women that are good are for the men that are good, they are for each other, the filthy man is for the filthy woman, and the filthy woman is for the filthy man, so the land is two, and the people are two, the people are tayyib wal khabith, and the earth and the land is what?
Bilad which is tayyib and a bilad which is khabith, Allah categorised the speech into good and bad, so he categorised the land into good and bad, he categorised the people into good and bad, and he also categorised the speech into good and bad, qala ta'ala Allah says subhanahu wa ta'ala... Surah al-A'raf, Allah says وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضْعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ The Prophet's job, the description of the Prophet and how he was, was what? يُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الْطَّيِّبَاتِ
He made halal for them the good.Allahumma barik. Now, good in terms of what? The good in terms of the land. Not every land produces good.Insha'Allah ta'ala, in this episode, I'm not going to be speaking about ahkam or rulings related to people's actions. What do I mean by that? I mean jobs that people do. What jobs are halal, what jobs are haram? I'm going to come to that.This is a muqaddimah, this is like an introduction to that topic that will be soon coming insha'Allah ta'ala. So I'll be talking about two things in an upcoming episode insha'Allah ta'ala where I'll be talking about ahkam related to people's jobs. I will be giving you principles insha'Allah ta'ala that you can memorise, you can learn, you can easily hold on to which will allow you to know any job offer that you get if it's halal or haram.You don't need somebody to tell you this job is halal or this job is haram. You look at the descriptions of what constitutes a halal job and what makes it haram. If it meets the criteria of it being a halal job, then insha'Allah go forward and apply for that job and may Allah put barakah in it for you.If it doesn't meet those criteria, or it doesn't meet those conditions which is taken from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, وَبِمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ سَلَفُ الصَّادِحِ then you leave it and you avoid it and you stay away from it. Any issues about difference of opinion and it's grey area, we'll also mention it. بِإِنِّ اللَّهِ الْكِرِيمِ I'll also be talking about that was a job and what kind of job you should look for and what you should avoid, but I'll also be talking about businesses which is different to a job.بُيُوعِ حَكَامُ الْبُيُوعِ حَلَالًا حَرَامًا What can I buy, what can I sell, I'm a businessman, I'm in trading, I'm doing this and all of that and I'll also be talking about that بِإِنِّ اللَّهِ الْكِرِيمِ So you'll learn that in more details. But today I want to talk about the importance, how important it is that you look at what you consume. That's what I want to talk about.What are you consuming? What are you taking in? So we've taken that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم his description that Allah gave about him in Surah Al-A'raf is that Allah says وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَةِ that the Prophet makes halal for them that which is good. وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثِ and he also makes haram from them that which is filthy. Now you already know now, from what we've just taken, you know that what he made haram from them is the lands which are filthy.He told them stay away from that. And we're going to take this, inshallah ta'ala, remember this, when we come to the types of rizq, not this episode but the upcoming episodes, we will take the kind of things that come from the earth. We're going to categorise it.Some of that which is halal and some of that which is haram. Because the earth doesn't produce only good things. Weed, for example, comes from the earth.And it intoxicates the mind and it's not permissible. The earth also produces what? It produces that which is good. It produces fruits and vegetations and etc.Which is healthy and good for you. We'll be talking about that inshallah ta'ala. We'll not only be talking about that, we'll be talking about like what is people's rizq, where does it go back to generally speaking? What's the basic rizq that it all goes back to? Because all these other things that you're seeing, there are fundamental rizq that are important.We're going to be talking about it inshallah ta'ala in great details. But here I want you just to understand that the Prophet ﷺ, or I want you to understand at this particular point, that the Messenger ﷺ's description is that he makes halal what is good. All that which is good in terms of land, in terms of speech, and also in terms of the people.He tells you to stay with those who are good. He tells you to stay with those speech or to hold on to those speech and come with those speech which are good. And the land and etc.We'll talk about that. وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلِيمُ الْخَبَائِثُ And the opposite is true. He prohibited from the people that which is khabith, filthy, ﷺ. And Allah ﷻ said about the Prophet, الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ الْنَبِيَّ الْأُمِّيَّ الَّذِي يَجِدُونَ مَكْتُوبًا مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِي الْتَوْرَاتِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ وَيَضْرَعُ عَن هُمْ إِسْرَهُمْ وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ مَعَهُ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ They are the successful people.It was the ayah that was mentioned in Surah A'raf. Allah then says in the Quran, قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُفْرِي وَيُمِيتُ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِبَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَى أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ So what's the description Allah gave regarding the believers? The believers are described that they are طيبون Allah Ta'ala, He described the believers in the Quran as to be طيبون in the Quran How so? Look at Surat Az-Zumar, Allah says سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ Because that's how the believer is He spent all of his life, the believer, looking for طيب in speech طيب in terms of the land where it comes from, he only consumes that which is طيب Allahu Akbar In terms of the people he's with, and he hangs around with, he chooses those who are طيب That's why Allah Ta'ala told us When he takes the soul of those people, the angel will say to them what? يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الطَيِّبَةِ Another wording he says أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الطَّيِّبَةِ كَانَتْ فِي الْجَسَدِ الطَّيِّبِ Another wording of the hadith, the Prophet ﷺ mentioned يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الطَّيِّبَةِ Oh you noble soul Why is he طيب? Because of all of that which I mentioned This soul who's طيب, this believer who's طيب If he goes and he visits his brother, who's also طيب قَالَتْ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَ The angels will say to you طِبْتَ وَطَابَ مَمْشَاكَ وَتَبَوَّأْتَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلًا The famous hadith that Imam At-Tirmidhi narrated in his Jamia He narrated it in his Jamia أَبْوَابُ الْبِرِّ وَالصِّلَةِ He narrated it in باب ما جاء في زيارة الإخوان Ibn Majah narrated it in his Sunan, كتاب الجنائز من حديث أبي خريرة Imam At-Tirmidhi actually said هذا حديث حسن غريب And he said أبو سنان, his name is عيسى بن السنان And he narrated it from حماد بن سنما etc على كل حال الامام الباني رحمه الله Authenticated this hadith in his famous كتاب صحيح الترغيب والترهيب رحمه الله تعالى He authenticated it So that's what I want you to remember When you hear إن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيب And that's why Allah accepts the soul who is طيب Who consumes طيب Who associates himself with people who are طيب That's the person Allah accepts You get it now brothers إن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيب وإن الله أمر المؤمنين بما أمر به المرسلين And the hadith says Allah commanded the believers that which he commanded the messengers So let's get this right What Allah commanded the believers is also what he commanded the messengers إي نعم إذن this issue is عام شامل بلا فوارق It's a matter which is general It's a matter which is for everybody It's not restricted to one particular person That's why Allah said in the Qur'an سورة المؤمنون يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيبَاتِ وَأَعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا O messengers consume good الله أكبر كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيبَاتِ Prophets and messengers were commanded to consume good وَأَعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا وَأَعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا And do righteous deeds يَعْمِلُوا صَالِحًا وَأَعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا The prophets, the messengers Were the greatest people to have ever walked on this earth Were told to consume halal They were told to consume good And they were told to stay away from what? وَأَعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا And they were also told to do good deeds And Allah commanded the believers the same thing They were also told to consume halal Then the prophet told us a story of a man So the matter becomes more clearer to you That this issue is not right He told you a story of a man الرَّجُلَ يُطِيلُ السَّفَرَ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ يَمُدُّ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَا رَبِّ This man, he's a traveller He's travelling, so he's a مسافر Not only is he a traveller أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ The dust is on him His beard is dusty He looks very, very, very worn out and tired The travelling has had its toll on him And his appearance is not clean Because he's a traveller يَمُدُّ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ He's raising his hand to the sky Because that's where Allah is above his throne He's calling on to his Creator That's a dalil Allah is above his throne, subhanahu wa ta'ala يَمُدُّ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ He's raising his hands to his Lord Allah Ta'ala يَا رَبِّ He's saying, my Lord, my Lord My brothers and sisters This man had actually come with what the scholars call دَوَاعِ الْإِجَابَةِ This man has come with فَأَتَى بِأُمُورٍ هِيَ مِن دَوَاعِ الْإِجَابَةِ اجابة الدعوة اجابة الدعاء This man has come with things for his dua'a to be accepted He came with things for his dua'a to be accepted ومع ذلك his dua'a is not accepted Number one is that he's a traveller يُطِيلُ السَّفَرَ He's a traveller And we know from the famous hadith that the Prophet told us وَمِنَ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذَا وَمِنَ الثَّلَاثَةِ From the three the Prophet mentioned لا تُرَدُّ دَعْوَتُهُمْ The dua'a is not rejected which is المُسَافِرَ حَتَّى يَعُودَ The traveller until he returns back to his place of residency his dua'a is accepted Number one So there's a factor at his advantage which put his chances of his dua'a being accepted higher The dua'a is that he's a traveller Number one Number two يُطِيلُ السَّفَرَ أَشْعَتْ أَغْبَر This man is very dusty He's tired The honour and arrogance is not there He's humbling And that's one of the reasons for your dua'a to accept him That's one of the reasons for your dua'a for anybody to be accepted Do you remember the hadith of the people who are going to be on Arafah يوم القيامة They're going to be on top of the land of Arafah Who've come there that day وَنْذَا مَلَائِكَةَ يُبَاهِي بِهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ When the angels say أُنظُرُوا عِلَىٰ عِبَادِي هَٰأُولَٰئِ شُعْثًا غُفْرًا When Allah Ta'ala is telling his angels Look at my slaves They have come what? أُنظُرُوا عِلَىٰ عِبَادِي Look at my slaves They have come شُعْثًا غُفْرًا What characteristics does this man have? أَشْعَةَ أَغْبَرُ is شُعْثًا غُفْرًا These people, look at Arafah They're standing there dusty يعني humbled يعني some of the scholars they said يُطِيلُ السَّفَرُ أَشْعَةَ أَغْبَرُ It means this man has يَعْنِي مَذَلَّةٌ لِجَانِبِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكُ تَعَالَى So this man is humble for himself and for Allah He's humbled by also the circumstances as well It's the same as what I just mentioned in the hadith of the people of Arafah يَوْمُ عَرَفَهُ وَعَلَىٰ صُعِيدِ عَرَفَاتِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ يَزْدُعَىٰ زْمَكْسَةِ That's what he also has at his disposal meaning he has an advantage nobody has for his dua to be accepted which is the third point يَمُدُّوا يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّبَاةِ The man is raising his hands and we know in the famous hadith that Imam Abu Dawood narrated and Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah and others have narrated that the Prophet he said إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحِي إِذَا رَفَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْهِ أَن يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا خَائِبَتَيْنِ Allah is shy Allah is generous Allah is what? حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ Allah is shy and generous سبحانه وتعالى and you know what he is shy about? He is shy that his slave raises his hands asking him for something and that Allah تبارك وتعالى rejects him أَن يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا خَائِبَتَيْنِ that the slave is rejected and then he is not given what he asked for This man, his dua's, he raises his hands Not only that my brothers and sisters this man said يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ and anyone who reads the Quran and recites the Quran knows that the repetition of يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ This man يُكرِّرُها يَتَذَلَّلُ بِهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّة قُدْرَتُهُ he is humbling himself for Allah تبارك وتعالى is also from the words, the things that من دواع إجابة الدعاء this is one of the reasons for somebody's dua's to be accepted cause we know the dua's that the prophet taught صلى الله عليه وسلم is what? majority of it is Ya Rabbi. Not only that, anyone who read the Qur'an knows in Surah Aal-e-Imran, الَّذِينَ اذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذَا بَاطِلًا سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ يَعْنِ رَبَّنَا رَبَّنَا رَبَّنَا رَبَّنَا رَبَّنَا رَبَّنَا What did Allah say after that? Allah says we accepted the Kula and the begging of these people.So saying Ya Rabbi is one of the reasons for your Dua to be accepted. With all of that said, why was this man's Dua not accepted? The reason is that the last point of the Hadith is because of the description the Prophet gave us. وَمَطْعَمُهُ حَرَامٌ This man ate Haram.وَمَشَرَبُهُ حَرَامٌ He drinks Haram. وَمَلْبَسُهُ حَرَامٌ His clothing is Haram. وَغُذِيَ بِالْحَرَامِ This man was nurtured upon Haram.فَأَنَّا What does فَأَنَّا mean? It means فَكَيْفَ How? How يُستَجَابُوا لِذَلِكَ How can this man Zuaab be accepted? How? He eats Haram, drinks Haram, clothes himself with Haram, and raises himself and his children and those around him with Haram. فَأَنَّا يُسْتَجَابُوا لِذَلِكَ So my brothers and sisters from this we learn أَكْلُ الحَرَامُ يُثْمِرُ هَذَا الثَّمَرَ الْخَمِيثُ This filthy thing that you nurtured yourself with and you consumed has only produced that which is filthy. وَالْبَلَدُ طَيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَأَتُهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ وَالَّذِينِ قَبُورُهَا لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِّدَهَا That's why it's produced, it's filthy.Was it produced? It is produced that your Duaa won't be accepted. Or how can your Duaa even be accepted? That's what it produced for you. Not only has it produced that for you, the Day of Judgment.عَبْدِ ابْنُ حُمَيْدِ He narrated in his المُنتَقَمِ مِن مُسْنَدِهِ المُنتَقَمِ مِن مُسْنَدِهِ as it's narrated in there. البَزَارِ narrated أَبُو يَعْلَى in his مُسْنَدِ طَبَرَانِ in his أَوْسَطِ On the authority of زَيْدِ ابْنُ أَرْقَمِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرِ الصِّدِّيقِ who said I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ جَسَدًا غُذِيًا بِحَرَامٍ Another wording of the hadith says لَا يَدُخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ جَسَدٌ غُذِيًا مِنَ الْحَرَامِ Another wording of the hadith says إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ كُلَّ لَحْمٍ نَبَتَ مِن سُحْتٍ Anybody who consumes haram, jannah is haram for him That's what the hadith says Anyone who consumes haram, jannah is haram for him Another wording of the hadith says كُلُّ لَحْمٍ نَبَتَ مِن سُحْتٍ فَالنَّارُ بِهِ أَوْلَى Anybody who nurtures his body with haram The fire has a right over you فَالنَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ That wording Imam al-Tirmidhi narrated it من حديث كعبي بن عجراء رضي الله تعالى عنه And Shaykh al-Albani, may Allah have mercy on him, authenticated it in his book صحيحة الغيبة That's the problem with this man The problem with this man is مَطْعَمُهُ حَرَامٌ وَمَشْرَبُهُ حَرَامٌ وَمَلْبَسُهُ حَرَامٌ وَغُذِيَ بِالْحَرَامُ If you look at the word that the Prophet used here He said وَغُذِيَ غُذِيَ مَبْنِيٌ لِمَا لَمْ يُسَمَّ فَاعِلُهُ مَبْنِيٌ لِلْمَجْهُلِ يَعْنِي فَهُوَ يُغَذَّ Haram was bought him by someone يَعْنِي فَهُوَ يُغَذَّ يَقُومُ غَيْرُهُ بِتَغْذِيَتِهِ Someone else came and fed him this haram He was nurtured upon haram The mother was eating haram Children were being, she was bringing haram income The father was bringing haram income And they were trying to nurture their children upon this So what do you expect that this is going to produce? What do you think it's going to produce? It's going to produce nothing except filth and evil That's what it's going to produce There's a hadith which the scholars dispute is authenticity A large number of scholars are of the opinion that this hadith is da'eef And I'm more inclined to that In this hadith, Abdullah ibn Abbas is saying that the Prophet ﷺ has said أَمَا تُلِيَ عِنْدَ النَّبِي ﷺ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى That this verse was recited to the Prophet ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا Sa'ad ibn Abu Waqas, he's too lucky, said يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُدْعُوا اللَّهَ أَن يَجْعَلَنِي مُسْتَجَابَ الدَّعْوَةِ He said, O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for me to make me someone whose du'a is accepted أُدْعُوا اللَّهَ أَن يَجْعَلَنِي مُسْتَجَابَ الدَّعْوَةِ Supplicate to Allah Ta'ala that he makes me someone whose du'a is accepted Then the Prophet ﷺ in this hadith, he said يَا سَعْدُ أَطِبْ مَطْعَمَكَ تَكُنْ مُسْتَجَابَ الدَّعْوَةِ The Prophet ﷺ said to him in this hadith as it said يَا سَعْدُ أَطِبْ مَطْعَمَكَ تَكُنْ مُسْتَجَابَ الدَّعْوَةِ You be someone whose du'a is accepted وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٌ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَقْذِفُ الْلُقْمَةَ الْحَرَامَ فِي جَوْفِهِ مَا يُتَقَبَّلُ مِنْهُ عَمَلُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَكُلُ لَحْمِ النَّبَةَ مِنْ حَرَامٍ وَالرِّبَى فَالنَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ The Prophet ﷺ he said in this hadith as they say إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَقْذِفُ الْلُقْمَةَ A person will throw a food in his mouth which is haram and he will place it into his mouth, into his stomach مَا يُتَقَبَّلُ مِنْهُ عَمَلُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا His actions will not be accepted for forty days وَكُلُ لَحْمِ النَّبَةَ مِنْ حَرَامٍ وَالرِّبَى فَالنَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ The hellfire has right over you So وَغُذِيَ بِالْحَرَامِ What does this show you? The responsibility of the woman and the husband that they don't bring to their children that which is haram If you look at the early generation, the righteous woman If a man wanted to marry her or she got married to the man and he was her husband If the man wanted to marry her, she would say اتق الله Don't marry me if you are a person who consumes haram And if he marries her and she now becomes his wife She would say to him every day before he leaves to get them rizq She will say to him اتق الله فينا Fear Allah in our affairs وَلَا تُطْعِمْنَا إِلَّا مِنْ حَلَالٍ Do not give us except that which is halal فَإِنَّا نَصْبِرُ عَلَى الْجُوْعِ وَالْعَطَشِ وَلَا نَصْبِرُ عَلَى حَرِّ الْنَّارِ Allah Akbar She will say Fear Allah in our affairs Me and my children And me And yourself Fear Allah in our regard And do not bring to us that which is haram Bring us that which is halal Why? فَإِنَّا نَصْبِرُ عَلَى الْجُوْعِ وَالْعَطَشِ We can be patient with hunger and thirst We can, we will tolerate it But Wallahi we can't tolerate the heat of Jahannam We can't, it's too hot That's what the righteous women would say وَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ فِي صَدْرِ الْأُمَّةِ إِذَا أَرَادَ زَوْجُهَا أَن يَخْرُجَ لِكَسْبِ الرِّزْقِ فِي الصَّبَاحِ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِثِيَابِهِ She will hold on to his cloth Or his clothing And this is what she will say to him اتَّقِ اللَّهَ فِي نَافِرِ اللَّهِ In our regards وَلَا تُطْعِمْنَا إِلَّا مِنْ حَلَالٍ فَإِنَّا نَصْبِرُ عَلَى الْجُوعِ وَالْعَطَشِ وَلَا نَصْبِرُ عَلَى حَرِّ النَّارِ That's what they will say Righteous women They will not aid their husbands in Haram My brothers and sisters الله تبارك وتعالى is طيب لا يقبل إلا طيبا Allah is طيب and he only accepts that which is طيب Allah جل قدرته He did not make سبحانه وتعالى Hard for you to attain Halal No Allah did not make it hard for you to attain Halal Some people they make it look like I can't find Halal so I'm forced to go for Haram Wallahi that's not the case Allah did not make For the believer For the human being Hard for them to attain Halal He didn't سبحانه وتعالى But Shaytan beautifies for you And makes it seem like That the Haram is easy In reality it's not Actually Your Rizq is written for you Halal Rizq is written for you But people are going for the Haram There's a hadith Abu Nu'aym narrated in his Hilya بِإِسْنَادٍ صُحِيحٍ And Abu Umamah رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم The Prophet he said إِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُوسِ يعني جبريل He said نَفَثَ فِي رُوعِ النفث In Arabic language It's to basically Blow Without saliva coming out of your mouth It's when we recite Quran on places We say Without saliva coming out النفث شيء فوق النفخ وَدُونَ التَّفْلِ Saliva is not coming out And it's not just Blowing Jibreel did that to me إِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُوسِ نَفَثَ فِي رُوعِ What does it mean نَفَثَ فِي رُوعِ يَعْنِ فِي نَفْسِ وَفُؤَادِ وَخَاطِرِ He blew into my My chest And my mind So form of the revelation How it used to come down He did that What did he blow أَنَّ نَفْسًا لَنْ تَمُوتَ حَتَّى تَسْتَكْمِلَ أَجَلَهَا A person will not die until they Complete the rizq that was written for them وَتَسْتَوْعِبَ رِزْقَهَا You will not die Until you finish your rizq فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ Fear Allah And beautify the way that you look for your rizq فَإِنَّ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَا يُنَالُ إِلَّا فِي طَاعَتِهِ Fear Allah And beautify the way that you look for your rizq And do not let it وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّكُمْ Do not let it أَمَا وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ Do not let one of you Force him إِسْتِبْطَعُ الْرِزْقِ That his provision is slightly delayed It was coming to you but it's a bit late It's coming slowly It's not coming straight away Just because there's a delay Or there's a glitch It's gonna come أَنْ يَطُلُبَهُ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ That you look for it in a way that disobeys Allah Why? فَإِنَّ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَا يُنَالُ إِلَّا فِي طَاعَتِهِ You can't attain what is with Allah Except obeying Him فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ Brothers and sisters Fear Allah And beautify the way that you look for your rizq The Prophet said فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ The Prophet didn't say فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَتَرَفَّقُوا He didn't say فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَتَرَيَّثُوا He didn't say that He came with وَأَجْمِلُوا Why did he say that? Because وَأَجْمِلُوا وَتَجَمَّلُوا It's when you come with something in a way that's منطبط You come with it in a way that's good beautiful in a way that's attractive and good Don't come with it in a way which is عَجَلَة hastiness يعني you just jump you pound onto it straight away رزق إن شاء الله تعالى that's written for you is going to come تَقُوا اللَّهَ فِي اللهِ تَبَارِكُ تَعَالَى أَبُو مُسْلِمَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بِنُو ثَوْبِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى He is رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى من كُمَّلِ وَسَادَأْتِ التَّابِعِينِ His wife said to him one day أَبُو مُسْلِمَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بِنُو ثَوْبِ His wife said to him one day يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمَ مَا عِنْدَنَا دَقِيقٌ She said أَبُو مُسْلِم We don't have دَقِيق Which is باليو نَفَدَ الدَّقِيقُ فَلَا دَقِيقَ We don't have it Go and buy for us فَاشْتَرِ لَنَا دَقِيقًا وَلْتَمِسْ لَنَا الدَّقِيقَ He then said to them هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ He said do you have any money قَالَتْ هَذَا دِي نَارٌ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ هَذَا دِي نَارٌ اِبْغِنِيهِ وَهَاتِي الْجِرَابَةِ And she means Here it is وَهَاتِي الْجِرَابَةِ The جِرَاب is the utensil When the barley or the wheat comes It's going to be placed inside there فَذَهَبَ إِلَى بَائِعِ الدَّقِيقِ He went رحمه الله تعالى He went to the person Who was selling the دقِيق So he can buy it from him بِالدِّي نَارِ دَقِيقًا لِحَاجَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَبَيْتِهِ فَرَآهُ مِسْكِنٌ A miskin person saw him فَتَبِعَهُ He followed him قَالَ يَسَلِي أَبَ مُوسَى تَصَدِّقْ عَلَيَّهِ So his wife sent him أبو مسلم الخولاني She told him go get us the دقِيق She gave him the دي نار He's now on the way A miskin man comes off behind him And then he says to him يَا أَبَ مُسْلِم تَصَدِّقْ عَلَيَّهِ أبو مسلم Give me صدقه I think whatever Allah is giving you the money Go and give it to me Then أبو مسلم walked further He said يَا أَبَ مُسْلِم تَصَدِّقْ عَلَيَّهِ So أبو مسى رحمه الله تعالى فَأَخَذَ يَحْرَبُ مِنْهُ هَا هُنَا وَهُنَالِكُ He tried to run away from him But everywhere he went the man was Coming after him And he was saying to him تَصَدِّقْ عَلَيَّهِ Give it to me أبو موسى الخولاني He took the دي نار that he had And he gave it to him His wife had given him the جِرَاب She told him take the جِرَاب Place the barley and everything in it He brought back the جِرَاب فارغا Empty, nothing in it He brought it back So he gave the دي نار So there's nowhere he can buy a دقيق So he made his way back home With the جِرَاب, nothing in it Okay وَعَادَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ بَعْدَ مَا مَرَّ عَلَى النَّجَّارِينَ وَعَادَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ بَعْدَ مَا مَرَّ عَلَى النَّجَّارِينَ He went by carpenters And he filled it with Some wood, he filled it up With some sand and all of that And he carried it on his shoulders And he knocked the door of his family And his family opened the door And then he placed The جِرَاب The container That he placed The wood and all of that And the sand and everything in it فَأَلْقَى الْجِرَابَ هُنَالِكِ And he placed it there And he was nervous So Abu Muslim Al Khawlani Did not look at the جِرَاب Because he knows what's inside it So he avoided looking at it But he put it in The corner of the house His wife went over She opened it And what she found inside it Was دَقِيقٌ حُوَّارِى دَقِيقٌ حُوَّارَى She found The body that she wanted, that she liked She went and she made bread And she made for him A nice meal from it When the night went by Abu Musa Al Khawlani She bought him the meal And she placed the bread With the food And he said to her مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكِ هَذِي هَذَا Where did you get this bread? Where did you get the substance that you made for the bread? قَالَتْ شِيْءٍ سَرِيَا أَبَا مُوسَى مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكِ هَذِي هَذِي هَذَا Did you forget? He went and bought the body فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ وَيَبْكِيه He kept eating And eating and cried As he was eating I love calling the story Al-Khatib Al-Baghdadi mentions it in his كتاب الزهد Also in Asakim Tariq Al-Damashq بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيح The chain is authentic And the The Dakeeq al-Huwari is a high-quality type of ... One point, my brothers and sisters, from the story is that your risk will come to you, whether you run or not. And my brothers and sisters, the halal is clear and the haram is clear, and Imam al-Bukhari has written in Sahih, and the authority of Saeed al-Khudri radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu, the Prophet he said, يوشك أن يكون خير مال المسلم غنم يتبع بها شغف الجبال ومواقع القطر يفر بديله من الفتن The Prophet he said, يوشك, what is the meaning of يوشك, but the time has come close, أن يكون خير مال المسلم غنم that the best form of wealth of a Muslim is going to be الغنم جنس, the word الغنم here is اسم جنس, and it applies to الذكور والإله whether the sheep, goat or the male, it doesn't matter يعني يوشك أن يكون خير مال المسلم غنم goats or sheep يتبع بها شغف الجبال, where he's going to look at it, شغف الجبال شغف الجبال means رؤوس الجبال, on the top, the hilltops ومواقع القطر, and the places where the rain comes down on, which is بطون الأودية, which is the valleys why is he there with his goat, climbing mountains and يفر بدينه من الفتن he's running away for his religion, from فتنة this is يوشك, يعني اقتعب, the time has come close that was the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم this man is running away, the reason why he's gone back to goats and the livestock is because the money has now become حرام, this is his way to observe himself my brother and sister, a lot of people already know, when they ask you questions that this thing is حرام, they ask you when they say, is it حلال or حرام and the Prophet told us, عليه الصلاة والسلام, حديث صحيح مسلم المسلم نويتني الصحيح, on the authority of نواس بن سرعان which is البر حسن الخلق والإثم ما حاكى في صدرك وكريت أن يطلع عليه الناس that the sin, يعني the إثم is ما حاكى في صدرك, it's the thing that keeps coming back in your mind it's the thought that keeps circulating in your mind, is it حلال, is it حرام وكريت أن يطلع عليه الناس, and you don't like the people seeing you do it يعني ما حاكى means تردد, you're not settled with it في صدرك وكريت أن you don't even like the people seeing you do this this is what, it's a sign that this thing is حرام man, it's a sign that this thing is حرام so remember this my brothers and sisters, you already know a lot of you guys when you're coming to the Shaykh, no one comes to the Shaykh and says Shaykh is water حلال and no one comes to the Shaykh and says Shaykh is this بيوع عشاف, well known he won't say is it حلال, ask this one because he knows something about it ولذلك the Prophet he told us إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَإِنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ what does it mean, that the حلال is بَيِّن meaning واضح بذاته it's clear in and within itself how وَإِنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ and the حرام is what, بَيِّنٌ it's clear well known some things are مُحَرَّمٌ لِذَاتِي they're حرام in and within itself and they will only be permitted for you للضرورة when there's a necessity because this thing is مُحَرَّمٌ لِذَاتِي it gets permitted for the time of ضرورة and some things are what مُحَرَّمٌ لِغَيْرِهِ they're not حرام in and within itself but they became حرام because it's going to lead to something also سَدَّ لِذَرِيعَةِ it's going to lead to something bad so that's why it's been prohibited so that one gets permitted عند الحاجة when there's a حاجة for it for example البول والخنزير والخمر all of those are مُحَرَّمٌ لِذَاتِي they're حرام in and within itself لكن there are some بُيُعْس which are what يَمُحَرَّمٌ لِغَيْرِهِ they're مُحَرَّم because of what they're going to lead to now we all together brothers we're going to talk about this all insha'Allah الحلالُ بَيِّنٌ والحرامُ بَيِّنٌ and insha'Allah we're going to have an episode where we're going to talk about the أحكام of حلال and حرام and also how important it is for you to know and study these things before you embark on buying and selling we're going to talk about that insha'Allah also the Prophet said in a hadith the Prophet he said فَاسْتَفْتِ قَلْبَكَ وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ الْمُفْتُونَ and a lot of people their nafs can already say this to them that this thing is not right something is not right about this because remember الله تبارك وتعالى فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَ الْقِلْلَاءَ فِطْرَ is there and my brothers and sisters one of the things that the people have made they eat and they are dwelling in is riba Allah تبارك وتعالى mentions to us in the Quran سورة البقرة يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَذَرُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الْرِبَىٰ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِنْ تُوبُتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُؤُسُ أَمْوَالِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ you are in war with Allah تبارك وتعالى فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ the scholars of تفسير when it comes to فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ there is two madhabs of how the scholars explain it scholars they mention يعني مذهبان لأهل العلم من المفسرين what does it mean فَأذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ some say لَوْ أَنَّ قَرِيَّةً مِنَ الْقُرَىٰ أَصَرَّتْ عَلَىٰ أَكْلِ الرِّبَىٰ if a particular village or a land are persistent in consuming رِبَىٰ and the imam made it haram from them the imam prohibited it from them فَلَمْ تَنْتَهِ فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يُحَارِبُ تِلْكَ الْقَرِيَةَ the ruler, the imam has the right to wage war on them some of the scholars they said that فَأَذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ that's what they said that if the ruler, a group of people are consuming رِبَىٰ and they are persistent upon consuming رِبَىٰ and they don't stay away from it after he told them that this is رِبَىٰ and it's what Allah prohibited he has the rights from Allah فَأَذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ wage war on them that's one view of the scholars of tafsir that's what they said and the second view of the scholars of tafsir is that what it means is فَأَذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ it's actually more than just a ruler it's actually a war with Allah أَنَّ الْحَرْبَ مِنَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ that Allah is the one waging war on you now the one who is consuming رِبَىٰ and how is it Allah is going to wage war on you حَرْبًا بِنَزْعِ الْبَرَكَةِ Allah will remove from you بَرَكَةِ barakah in the rizq that you have He will remove it from you سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ Allah will place in front of you obstacles and after obstacles Allah will place in your chest and your heart القَلَقَ وَالْمَخَافَةِ وَلِلْضِّرَابِ you'll be a person who's what nervous and scared and terrified نعم you'll be in sadness after sadness and sadness that's in the dunya and as for the قَبْر when you go to the grave then we have the famous حَدِيث رضي الله عنه حديث المنام الطويل what did the Prophet mention رَأَى الرَّجُلُ السَّابِحَ فِي نَهْرِ الدَّمِي رَأَى الرَّجُلُ السَّابِحَ فِي نَهْرِ الدَّمِي حِجَارَةٌ فَيَسْبَحُ السَّابِحُ مَا شَاءَ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي فَارِغًا فَاهُ يعني فاتحاً فمه فَيُلْقِمَهُ الْوَاقِفُ عَلَى الشَّاطِحِ حَجَرًا فَيَدُورُ فِي نَهْرِ الدَّمِي مَا شَاءَ أَن يَدُورَ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إِلَى الْوَاقِفِ فَيُلْقِمَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَجَرًا The Prophet mentioned in this hadith that there is a man swimming in a river of blood.The Prophet saw this. وَرَأَ رَجُلًا وَاقِفًا عَلَى الشَّاطِي There is a man standing at the shore. بِيَدِهِ حِجَارَةٌ In his hand he has a stone.The one who is swimming, he swims for يَعَنِي فَيَسْبَحُ السَّابِحُ مَا شَاءَ And then ثُمَّ يَأْتِي فَاغِرًا فَاهُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي فَاغِرًا فَاهُ Then he comes يَعَنِي فَاتِحًا فَمَهُ He comes and his mouth opens فَيُلْقِمَهُ الْوَاقِفُ عَلَى الشَّاطِي The one who is standing on the shore throws at him حَجَرًا a stone فَيَدُورُ فِي نَهْرِ الدَّمِي He just goes in, circulating inside the river of blood and then he comes back and with his حَجَرًا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ He said إِنَّ آكِلَ الرِّبَاةِ The one who consumes رِبَاة يُبْعَثُ مِن قَبْرِهِ مَجْنُونًا يُخْنَقَ He'll be taken out of his grave, crazy, lost it يعني he is possessed نعم يُخْنَق And then my brothers and sisters what waits for him the day of judgment is a greater and a severe punishment in جهنم That's what the ayah means الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الْرِبَاةِ لا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُوا الَّذِي يَتَخَطَّطُوا الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسْيِ That's what Ibn Abbas said آكلُ الرِّبَاةِ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَجْنُونًا يُخْنَقَ Ibn Abi Shayban narrated this and Tabarani and others So my brothers and sisters taking a house on mortgage, taking this house on mortgage not caring about where it's come from and how you got this money and how you got this house and not caring about all of that Remember فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولٍ And we're in that time where the Prophet told us عليه الصلاة والسلام as is in the حديث صحيح البقاري The Prophet told us عليه الصلاة والسلام there's going to come a time يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانُ لَا يُبَالِي فِيهِ الْمَرْءُ أَمْ مِنْ حَلَالٍ أَخَذَ أَمْ مِنْ حَرَامٍ The slave doesn't care where he got his rizq from, doesn't care Is it halal or haram? Doesn't really care Just accumulate it, bring it together وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ قَسَمًا لِمَنْ أَحَلَّ الْقَسَمُ I swear by the one who permitted for us to swear by him سبحانه وتعالى Your days are limited Your days are limited Consuming riba, taking haram Also taking the wealth of the orphans Your days are limited And know that Allah تبارك وتعالى is onto you And when He comes and He destroys you سبحانه وتعالى The consequences for you is going to be very severe That's what I wanted to shed light on today Insha'Allahu ta'ala That is what I wanted to talk to you about The topic, yes my brothers and sisters, deserves more It deserves more discussion It deserves more points to be said But I insha'Allah ta'ala hope those little small words Will insha'Allah ta'ala penetrate your hearts And I ask Allah تبارك وتعالى بِمَنِّهِ وَكَرَمِهِ I ask Allah تبارك وتعالى with His generosity and His kindness That He سبحانه وتعالى does not in any way, shape or form Make us from those who consume haram And give it to our children and our loved ones I ask Allah تبارك وتعالى that His mercy descends onto us And that Allah تبارك وتعالى opens rizq for us Halal rizq تبارك وتعالى And may Allah not humiliate us in this world nor the hereafter And may Allah سبحانه وتعالى make our rizq that which is pleasing to Him سبحانه وتعالى And may Allah تبارك وتعالى allow us to have partners, spouses Who help us with attaining that rizq There are so many other points I would love to cover But remember insha'Allah تبارك وتعالى these points we're going to cover them in The upcoming series where I will be speaking about أحكام البيوع Ahkam related to buying and selling And I'll be talking about Ahkam of عمل Where your actions, your jobs and what you do How it affects all of that Insha'Allah تبارك وتعالى As for the issues related to the salaf and how they were when it came to halal All of that I'll leave that for another series insha'Allah تبارك وتعالى And I'll talk about the issue of how halal rizq has an effect on your children This is a topic that's very important And haram has an effect on your children A lot of parents are crying, they are sad, rightly so And they see their children in prisons They see their children given life sentence Ten years, twenty years, fifteen years They've seen their children become something not pleasing to the eye And the real answer or the real question to that issue is what is it that caused it And I can promise you brothers and sisters a lot of the cases that I've seen personally Wallahi my brothers and sisters is halal and haram income I've seen it, it's had an effect on so many good children Wallahi my brothers and sisters you see a young, young kid He's young and he was a toddler then he became an infant This child has now become 18, 19, 20 And guess what my brothers and sisters He's no longer listening to his parents, he's no longer doing good He's up to bad and etc, why what's causing this? A lot of the cases what I've seen is you as a parent had an opportunity for your child to listen to you You had the opportunity for your child to do everything and anything for you Why is it that your child has become the way that he's become? Wallahi the reality of this situation is my brothers and sisters I've seen it Is because parents do not care what they bring to their child Hooks or crooks they don't care لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم اللهم اغفر لنا ذنوبنا وأطعمنا من الحلال الصرف يا رب العالمين اللهم ارزقنا رزقا حلالا طيبا موسعا فيه بغير حساب يا رب الارباب اللهم ارزقنا رزقا حلالا طيبا موسعا فيه مباركا فيه بغير حساب يا رب العالمين اللهم اطعمنا من الحلال الطيب اللهم اطعمنا من الحلال الطيب الذي لا شبهة فيه اللهم اطعمنا من الحلال ويسر لنا الحلال اللهم جنبنا الشبهات اللهم جنبنا الشبهات اللهم يسر لنا الحلال ويسر لنا الحلال ويسر لنا الحلال ويسرنا للحلال ويسرنا للحلال ويسرنا للحلال اللهم يسر لنا الحلال المحض اللهم يسر لنا الحلال المحض اللهم ابعد عنا الشبهات وأبعد عنا الحرام نسألك اللهم جلت قدرتك وتقدست أسماؤك أن تطعمنا من الحلال السرف اللهم ارزقنا الحلال السرف يا رب العالمين مباركا فيه موسعا فيه بغير حساب اللهم جنبنا الحرام يا رب العالمين اللهم جنبنا الحرام اللهم جنبنا الحرام اللهم ارزقنا من الحلال المحض اللهم ارزقنا من الحلال السرف اللهم يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك نستغيث فلا تكلنا إلى أنفسنا طرفة عين ولا أقل من ذلك اللهم أحسن خاتمتنا يا رب العالمين وأحسن إلينا وأجمل بنا وأفضل علينا وأحينا مسلمين وتوفنا مسلمين وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وأصحابه أجمعين سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك
