When you become
indifferent to injustice,
that's a problem of Iman.
That's a problem of faith.
And you look at the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
and the way that he would react
when he saw someone being wronged.
And he had such a hatred for oppression,
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
and that was because the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
loved what Allah loved,
and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam hated
what Allah hated. And Allah Azawajal hates oppression
and has made it forbidden between us.
So, what would it be like
when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
saw you being wronged
or saw you wronging someone else in his presence?
(dramatic music)
The ahadith in this regard
are actually too many to count for.
And this was of course, how Khadija radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
had described the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam,
as one of the descriptions tu'in wa ala na abl haq.
You support everyone that had a righteous cause
there for people in every way that
they need you to be there.
So if that means money, then you give them money.
If that means help, then you give them help.
If that means emotional support,
you give them emotional support.
And if that means when they are being wronged
and they find no one to advocate on their behalf
you are the one SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
that will stand up for them.
And that was the prophet Sallallahu in them before Islam.
So, how about after he came into the divine realization?
Abu Mas'ud al-Badri he reports a narration about himself
and it's not a pleasant narration about himself.
And I want to preface this, with that,
for the reason that sometimes these people
would share these things about themselves to teach a lesson
to the ummah and to share with you
what your messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was like
and the lessons they have learnt from him.
So Abu Mas'ud is actually the wrongdoer
in this narration that he himself narrates.
He says that I had a slave of mine that I was beating
and I was in a fit of rage as I was beating him.
And, as I was whipping him, and whipping him,
and whipping him,
I heard a man say, Aba Mas'ud, Aba Mas'ud, Aba Mas'ud
He was shouting my name.
And he said, lam afHamas saud minal ghadab
I could not recognize the voice
because of the rage that I was in.
Illam ya Aba Mas'ud! no O Abu Mas'ud, no O Abu Mas'ud!
until I realized that was the voice
of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And I wasn't used to hearing his voice that way.
So Abu Mas'ud I looked at the prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam And I saw his anger
when he was calling out to me, "no O Abu Mas'ud"
And he said, I dropped the whip
and the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said to me,
in a strong voice, he says
Allahu akdar wa ilayka minka adha hathal wallaam
Allah is more powerful.
Allah has more authority over you,
then you have over this young man.
Allah could do to you in a for more capable manner
than what you could do to this man.
And Abu Mas'ud was shocked by the anger
of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And the way that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
was standing up for that young man.
So, how you find this in almost every situation
and things that are very, very close to us.
A woman who comes to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
in a narration from Ali ibn Abi Talib radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu
and she came to the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
to plead about the way that she was being mistreated.
Now, al-Mujadila, Allah revealed a whole surah,
about a woman who came to plead to the prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam about being in a difficult state.
This was a woman that came to the
Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
and she was concealing her identity.
And she says to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam,
that my husband is beating me.
The prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam says, tell him
you are under the protection of the messenger of Allah.
I mean, what a guarantee, right?
Go back to him and tell him you are under my protection.
She came back and she says he hit me again Ya Rasulullah
And again, she doesn't want to reveal her identity.
That's the implication of the hadith.
The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam takes a piece of his
shirt, and he gives her a piece of his shirt as proof.
Go back to him,
and tell him that you are under the protection of
Rasulullah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
You are under the protection of the messenger of Allah,
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And she goes back to her husband
with a piece of the shirt
of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
and she comes back and she says Ya Rasulullah,
he hit me again.
And the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam raises his hands
to the sky And he starts to make dua'a,
He starts to pray against her husband.
subhanAllah, I mean
the Prophet Sallallahu took this so seriously.
He didn't say, well, I can't help you anymore.
No, the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam took it so
seriously that he actually started to make dua against the
man because he continued to oppress her.
Even after he sent his own garment,
a piece of his own garment with her,
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And by the way, this was amazing,
that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam would even hear
the complaints of animals,
things that you did not know with speak.
There was a time that you had a bird
that was flapping its wings,
and that was hovering over the sahabah.
And this wasn't a time of an expedition.
So, there are more serious things at hand, right?
There are things that you have to cater to
as the leader of an army right now.
There is so much that's going on.
And this bird is hovering over the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam and the companions.
And the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam looks to the
bird and then he looks to the Sahabah
and he says man faja anhadhihi bhi wala diha .
Who has hurt this one in regards to her child?
It's probably, if you didn't know that it was a bird,
you would think he's talking about a human being
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
But that's how outraged the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
Wasallam was. That's how he felt.
Who hurts this one in regards to her child?
And one of the sahabah mentioned that he took her baby
from the nest
and the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam insisted
that you return the eggs back to her nest
so that she doesn't feel that distress anymore.
You find another narration subhanAllah also with an animal.
Sahl ibn Amr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, he says that
the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam passed by
a camel and that camel's stomach touched its back
meaning it had such little food that
you could see its stomach touching its back.
There was no weight on it.
And the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam went to the camel
and the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam started to
comfort the camel. And he said, fear Allah
in regards to these animals that don't speak.
You ride them while they're in good health.
You eat them while they're in good health
you should feed them while they're in good health.
Take care of these animals, right?
The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said that
this camel is complaining to me.
So, you find that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
does not ignore the call of the oppressed.
Even if no one else hears that call,
but him, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And even if others hear the call,
but they don't think that
the call is significant enough to answer.
No call of the one that was wrong was ever insignificant
to the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Even if everybody else ignored it.
