So As You'Ve Got The Angels' Reins On Your Head And We Talked
About This Idea That Allah Increases A Person And Honor With
Their Humility, Your Greatest Test Of Humility And Honor Is
Going To Come When You Meet Someone Who Has Absolutely None
Of Those Things, Right And So You Encounter People Of No Character.
As Imam Ghazal (Rah) Said The Greatest Test
Husnul Khuluq, Of Good Character Is How A Person Deals
With Someone With .... Bad Character, Right?
That'S Where The Flaws Of The Tongue Come Out, That'S Where
The Flaws Of Character, The Flaws Of The Heart Arrogance,
Pride So Many Of Those Things Manifest And How You'Re Going
To Deal With Someone. You Get To Work You Meet Someone That'S
Being A Jerk To You Or You Know You'Re On Social Media And
You See Someone That'S Saying Certain Things To You, Think
About This Incident That Took Place With The Prophet (Saw) And
Abu Abkr (Ra). The Prohet (Saw)
Was Sitting With Abu Bakr Radiallahu Anhum And A
Man Started To Insult The Prophet (Saw) And Insult Abu
Bakr (Ra). Now The Prophet (Saw) Was Doing What He Always
Did Which Was Responding With Patience, The Prophet (Saw)
Did Not Entertain The Insult In Any Way Whatsoever
And He Definitely Did Not Respond In Like Manner.
Abu Bakr (Ra) Loved The Prophet (Saw) More
Than He Loved Himself Is Witnessing Those Insults And Finally
He Can'T Hold Himself And He Responds. As Soon As He Responds
The Prophet (Saw) Gets Up And He Leaves. Now Abu Bakr
Seeing The Prophet (Saw), Get Up And Leave Is Afraid That
He May Have Offended
The Prophet (Saw) That The Prophet Was Upset With Him?
So The Prophet (Saw) Is Sitting And Abu Bakr (Ra) Comes
To Him And He Says O Messenger Of Allah,
Are You Upset With Me?
Is It Something That I Did And The Prophet (Saw)
Said That When We Were Sitting There Before We Were Responding
To Those Insults, Allah Has Sent An Angel From The Heaven
And That Angel Was Responding To Everything That Was Being
Said To Us And Then As Soon As You Started To Respond The
Angel Left.
Devil Came And Sat In Its Place A Shaitan On Came And Sat In
His Place On, The Prophet (Saw)
Said I Did Not Want To Sit In The Presence Of That
Shaitan, Subhanallah
Think About That An Angel A Specific
Angel Was Sent Down To Respond.
And Then ..... As Soon As You Respond
On Your Part, The Angel Leaves And A Shaitaan Comes And Basically
Eggs You On And That'S Why The Prophet (Saw) Said That
Strength Is Not In How You Overcome
Another Person, Strength Is Actually In How You Overcome
Yourself, Very Powerful Usage Of Language The One Who Owns
Himself Still Controls Themself, In Times Of Anger, In Times
Of Rage, Right? There Still In The Driver'S Seat, Because Ultimately
What Usually Happens Is That Whether Someone Is Speaking
To In A Certain Way In Person Or Online Now Since Most Of
Our Interactions Are On Social Media, Right Wherever That
Is You Tend To Respond Out Of The Sense Of Pride And In The
Process Of That You Left Shaitan You Let Devil Into The
Driver'S Seat And You Take The Passenger Seat And That'S
Why You Would Say Things In Fits Of Rage That You Otherwise
Would Never Say And So Controlling Yourself By Yielding To
The Angel To Respond On Your Behalf Is What The Prophet (Saw)
Is Teaching Us With This And When You Do That, Ibn Qayoom (Rah)
He Said Something Is Very Powerful.
He Said That Not Only Do You Cause The Shaitaan To Miss You
With His Arrows But You Also Caused Him To Waste Arrows.
So You'Re Making The Shaitaan On Despair In You.
Being Able To Get You Out Of Your Elements So That
You Start To Respond To Someone With Bad Character With Bad
Character As Well.
And Again Connected To The Previous Hadith The Angel Raises
Your Reins, Raises Your Site In The Sight Of Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala, Raises Your Station In The Sight Of Allah.
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Wahab ...(Rah)
A Man Came To Him And He Said So And So
Said This About You, Wahab(Rah) Said Didn'T Shaitaan
Not Find A Postman, A Mailman Other Than You, Stop Acting
Like Shaitaan'S Mailman.
I'M Okay, I'M Good.
I'M In My Element The Angels Will Take Care Because I Said
Bismillah, Tawakkaltu ’Ala Allah, Wa La Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illa-Billah
Allah, I Put My Trust In Allah Subhanaw Taala.
I Was Told That I Would Be Defended And Allah Subhan Allah
Will Surely Suffice You Through Those Angels That He Has
Sent. I Don'T Feel The Need To Denigrate Myself By Responding
In Like Manner.
So I Remain Dignified In The Sight Of Insult And In The Process
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Honors Me.
Bithnillah Wa Ta Ala
We Ask Allah Subhanaw Taala To Honor Us All.
