00:00:00.000 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends, welcome to this video.
00:00:28.360 This video is going to be very beneficial. We're going to be talking about something Ali said and Sheikh Uthaymin and a few verses from Ibn Taymiyyah which can help us understand what I'm trying to say here today.
00:00:38.100 Now guys, having knowledge is something that's really important. It's what the religion teaches us. To gain knowledge, it's really important.
00:00:44.940 However, some people gain knowledge for the wrong reasons and this will not be accepted from Allah.
00:00:49.640 This will not be accepted from Allah. If you're gaining knowledge for other than Allah, it's not going to be accepted from you.
00:00:53.520 Now, some people, it's not about gaining knowledge because when you gain knowledge, you have understanding, you implement it, so forth, etc.
00:01:00.980 So, now what happens is a lot of people think they're gaining knowledge but the only thing they're gaining is memorization of passages and information.
00:01:07.980 That's what's happening. Now, a lot of people have knowledge, practice it, both brothers and sisters, but have no hikmah.
00:01:14.580 When you don't have hikmah, it's a double-edged sword. You're going to cause damage.
00:01:17.420 You're going to cause damage, yeah? How? Now, if you have the knowledge and you have no hikmah, you cause damage. How do you do that?
00:01:25.080 Ali رضي الله عنه said, do not tell the people what they are not ready to hear. Do you want them to disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger?
00:01:32.540 This is so profound and beautiful saying, yeah? And we're going to understand two things from this, yeah?
00:01:37.820 One of those Shaykh Hussaymin has made it more clearer, subhanAllah. I read it. It was amazing.
00:01:42.100 The first thing is this, is that, now, I have an information. Let's suppose, and I repeat, I repeat, this is, there's no such hadith like this.
00:01:49.400 I'm giving you guys an example. There is no such hadith like this. I'm giving you guys an example. I'll repeat it again, yeah?
00:01:54.840 Okay, let's suppose the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, let's suppose, yeah?
00:01:58.620 That a wife should kiss her husband's feet two hours a day. For example, let's suppose, yeah?
00:02:04.140 Now, I read this information, I'm like, wow, okay, good, yeah?
00:02:07.220 Now, I say, okay, let me do a YouTube video about this, yeah? Let me tell the sisters, you know, they need, they should know.
00:02:11.600 It's a knowledge, it's a hadith, it needs to be said, yeah? Okay, how could we hide this knowledge?
00:02:16.040 I go and say, sisters, these are to the married sisters and those who are going to get married,
00:02:19.780 just so you know, the Prophet said, you should kiss your husband's feet two hours a day, yeah?
00:02:24.940 Now, now, the problem here is this, yeah? The problem here is this.
00:02:29.900 Nobody's saying what you're conveying is haram.
00:02:32.520 What we're saying is there is a time and a place.
00:02:35.380 Ali radiallahu anh said, do not tell the people what they are not ready to comprehend.
00:02:39.240 Do you want them to disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger?
00:02:42.240 What do we understand from this?
00:02:44.100 If I go to somebody, and I tell this to the mass public, people are going to be like, what?
00:02:47.880 Why? Why would the Prophet?
00:02:49.060 Like, this, that.
00:02:50.300 It's something that they can't understand.
00:02:52.900 They can't grasp it, yeah?
00:02:55.040 And you telling them that is going to cause shubahad.
00:02:59.140 It's going to be like, why?
00:03:00.680 This, that.
00:03:01.580 It's going to cause more harm than good.
00:03:05.560 So that's why there's certain things that should not be said.
00:03:09.060 A person, actually, who doesn't have hikmah would go outright and tell everyone.
00:03:12.320 Me going to tell a couple of people, you cause harm.
00:03:14.520 However, if you have a platform, this can go to anyone, brothers and sisters.
00:03:17.340 You have a platform, I have a platform.
00:03:18.920 Me going and saying this on YouTube to people is unnecessary.
00:03:22.700 Is it needed?
00:03:23.680 Do I need to mention this, Adif?
00:03:25.360 No.
00:03:26.120 It's not unnecessary.
00:03:26.980 It doesn't need to be said.
00:03:28.280 Is there a, do I need to utter it?
00:03:30.500 Like, is there a necessity?
00:03:31.680 Is there a problem going on?
00:03:32.920 No.
00:03:33.900 Is it going to cause more harm than good?
00:03:35.560 Yes.
00:03:36.580 So it's wrong for me to go ahead and share this information with every Tom Dick and Harry.
00:03:42.320 Every layman.
00:03:43.240 Somebody who came new to Islam.
00:03:45.260 Somebody who's a born Muslim, maybe, who doesn't understand, comprehend certain things.
00:03:48.620 It's wrong for me to say it.
00:03:52.080 However, this is one point, yeah?
00:03:54.180 A person with hikmah will say,
00:03:55.680 It's unnecessary.
00:03:57.080 It doesn't need to be said.
00:03:57.620 I've got the information.
00:03:58.320 I know it.
00:03:58.940 I'll keep it to myself.
00:03:59.980 It's only for specific individuals.
00:04:01.580 It's not for them.
00:04:03.060 A person with hikmah will say this.
00:04:05.220 And will say,
00:04:06.200 This is going to cause more harm than good.
00:04:07.260 Let's not do this.
00:04:08.400 However,
00:04:09.440 Now,
00:04:10.180 Shaykh Uthaymin,
00:04:11.320 Shaykh Uthaymin said something profound.
00:04:13.680 It is therefore an aspect of wisdom in Dawah,
00:04:16.260 calling others to Allah,
00:04:17.220 that you should not surprise people with things they are not able to comprehend.
00:04:21.400 Rather,
00:04:22.080 you should call them in stages,
00:04:23.960 bit by bit,
00:04:25.520 until their minds are settled.
00:04:28.080 Shaykh goes further,
00:04:29.800 by explaining what Ali radiallahu anh said,
00:04:31.960 and another aspect,
00:04:32.880 another viewpoint of it, yeah?
00:04:34.360 What I said,
00:04:35.140 put that to a side.
00:04:36.820 This is what Shaykh Uthaymin,
00:04:37.680 this is what he says, yeah?
00:04:39.580 He says,
00:04:40.000 Look,
00:04:40.560 this is another form of causing people to disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger.
00:04:43.680 So if I go to somebody and say,
00:04:44.860 for example,
00:04:45.720 let's suppose there's a brother,
00:04:46.820 and I say,
00:04:47.080 Hey,
00:04:47.460 do you know the Prophet said,
00:04:48.440 and by the way,
00:04:49.040 there's no such hadif,
00:04:50.180 I'm just giving an example,
00:04:51.320 there's no such hadif.
00:04:52.520 Do you know the Prophet said that,
00:04:54.600 Sister,
00:04:55.040 the Prophet said that you should go and kiss your husband's feet two hours a day?
00:04:58.300 Did you know that?
00:04:59.980 If she turns to me,
00:05:01.360 and says to me,
00:05:02.820 You're a liar.
00:05:04.340 Allah and His Messenger will never say such a thing, yeah?
00:05:06.920 And I go,
00:05:07.360 Hold on a second, sister,
00:05:08.480 but it's authentic.
00:05:09.780 She's going to say,
00:05:10.140 You're lying.
00:05:10.760 You're lying.
00:05:11.460 What have I done?
00:05:12.560 I'm telling her it's authentic,
00:05:13.660 and she's still rejecting it.
00:05:15.100 I'm causing her to state,
00:05:17.340 say statements of kufr,
00:05:18.640 disbelief.
00:05:19.540 And she's going to say,
00:05:20.500 No,
00:05:20.760 Allah and His Messenger wouldn't say that, yeah?
00:05:22.780 What am I doing?
00:05:24.200 Yeah?
00:05:24.720 This is indirectly,
00:05:26.580 I'm causing her to disbelieve and do kufr, yeah?
00:05:29.840 By rejecting statements from the Messenger.
00:05:32.840 Do you get it?
00:05:33.780 This is what Shaq Uthaymeen is saying.
00:05:35.500 Is that,
00:05:36.580 don't say that.
00:05:38.120 Don't say that,
00:05:38.860 because the person can't comprehend it,
00:05:40.560 they're going to say this is a lie,
00:05:41.380 this is not true,
00:05:42.020 this can't be the Messenger.
00:05:43.320 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:05:44.760 Look at the hikmah.
00:05:46.020 The hikmah of our scholars.
00:05:48.040 Wallahi,
00:05:48.360 that's why it's so important.
00:05:49.220 And one thing that it reminds me of,
00:05:52.200 is that,
00:05:53.100 when Mu'ad ibn Jabal,
00:05:54.760 was sent to Yemen,
00:05:56.860 the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
00:05:57.720 sent him to Yemen and said,
00:05:58.620 pray to the people,
00:05:59.900 about Tawheed,
00:06:00.820 the oneness of Allah.
00:06:01.880 If they accept that,
00:06:02.780 tell them about the five daily prayers.
00:06:04.840 If they accept that,
00:06:05.920 tell them about the zakah.
00:06:07.320 If they accept the zakah,
00:06:08.740 et cetera,
00:06:09.360 et cetera,
00:06:09.880 et cetera.
00:06:10.960 Why didn't the Prophet go and say,
00:06:11.960 you know what,
00:06:12.200 go straight away,
00:06:13.260 tell them to be zakah.
00:06:14.180 Go to them straight away,
00:06:15.120 tell them to come hajj.
00:06:16.120 No.
00:06:16.860 He said,
00:06:17.380 first,
00:06:17.800 the fundamental thing,
00:06:18.880 Tawheed,
00:06:19.680 call them to the oneness of Allah.
00:06:21.160 Come.
00:06:21.860 After they accept that,
00:06:23.160 then,
00:06:24.420 tell them.
00:06:24.820 That's what what they mean said.
00:06:26.040 Bit by bit,
00:06:27.420 till they comprehend and understand.
00:06:29.200 Yes?
00:06:29.660 Okay.
00:06:30.600 So,
00:06:30.940 brothers and sisters,
00:06:32.160 one thing that I just want to say,
00:06:34.740 and when I'm talking about this,
00:06:35.800 nobody's saying,
00:06:36.520 don't talk about Tawheed,
00:06:37.720 people are not ready to hear it.
00:06:38.520 No.
00:06:39.060 Of course,
00:06:39.380 there's things they're going to talk about.
00:06:40.280 We're talking about things,
00:06:41.740 not things,
00:06:42.560 things that are necessary.
00:06:44.280 Yeah?
00:06:44.400 And I'm going to finish off with this.
00:06:46.240 Even Tamir said,
00:06:47.340 when enjoying good and forbidding evil,
00:06:49.440 if the evil is greater,
00:06:52.000 if you know the evil is going to be greater,
00:06:53.720 if I know,
00:06:54.480 if I'm going to say this hadith,
00:06:55.720 there's going to be more harm than good,
00:06:57.980 don't say it,
00:06:58.760 because then you're going to cause
00:06:59.860 more evil than good.
00:07:02.380 Brothers and sisters,
00:07:02.900 that was about it.
00:07:03.820 I just wanted to share that with you.
00:07:05.140 Let's be careful
00:07:05.820 to the things that we say.
00:07:07.040 Let's not cause people
00:07:08.400 to disbelieve in Allah and his messenger.
00:07:10.580 We will be accountable.
00:07:11.660 Hold your tongue.
00:07:12.580 Hold your tongue,
00:07:13.380 brothers and sisters.
00:07:13.920 Yeah?
00:07:14.540 Please hold your tongue.
00:07:16.540 Yeah?
00:07:17.160 Because you're causing harm,
00:07:18.920 don't.
00:07:20.040 Yeah?
00:07:20.460 There's a bit by bit process.
00:07:22.100 If you can't hold your tongue,
00:07:23.540 go,
00:07:23.960 study knowledge,
00:07:24.560 don't talk.
00:07:25.140 Please,
00:07:25.760 don't talk.
00:07:26.580 Study your knowledge,
00:07:27.500 do your knowledge,
00:07:27.980 sister,
00:07:28.540 brother,
00:07:29.240 good hamdulillah,

00:07:34.240 Hamdulillah.
00:07:34.940 But brothers and sisters,
00:07:35.860 don't cause more harm than good.
