Hadith of Gabriel

But these questions and answers are part and parcel of prophetic teaching and life.

So, so much so that, you know, you would, you will all know the Hadith of Jibril, you know, the Hadith of Jibril where Jibril appeared in a form of human being and he sat right, you know, in front of the Prophet and started to ask questions.

Mal Iman or Mal Islam, they are both reports, you know, what is faith, Iman, what is Islam, what is Ihsan, you know, and when the thing Qiyamah, Sa'ah will come.

So he asked certain questions, right? And then he disappeared.

Companions, they stopped asking a question.

No more questions because they are scared that this verse is revealed.

According to sources, Jibril appeared after this.

So to teach people that, you know, you should ask question.

And so that, that's one I actually do think about.

Uh, another hadith that I started to think about a lot more because of my brother, Sheikh Yasir, is Hadith Jibril.

Mm-hmm.

So this idea of ihsan and beauty and what does ihsan mean to Islamic work.

... hey, what's my hourly rate?

[laughs]

You're paying us minimum wage, you know? And, and so this idea of Hadith Jibril and this, this notion of ihsan is, uh, is something I think about a lot.

Like, what does ihsan look like i- in an app? Ihsan look like, um, in organizing a race.

Now, so that's just a, a general benefit we could take from this narration, Allahu ta'ala a'lam.

And then the next narration , which is known as the Hadith, Hadith al-Jibril.

Now, who's gonna read it for us? Alhamdulillah, at this point I know a lot of your names now, so I can just pick you out [chuckles].

Don't make me do it [chuckles].

Jazakallah khair.

Na'am.

So we have this hadith, Hadith al-Jibril.

And the narration begins by mentioning they were sitting next to the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and this man came.

But Insha'Allah wa ta'ala, they're not strict, they're just, you know, principles or etiquettes of a student of knowledge, which if we implement, then Insha'Allah wa ta'ala it will help us best, um, benefit Insha'Allah from these lessons.

And the first of those is that, as we learn in Hadith Jibril, is to sit as close as you can to the speaker or to the teacher.

So therefore, everyone should come as close as possible, and there should be nobody leaning unless they've got some, you know, back problem or something like that.

Number two is writing.

[speaking Arabic] uh, has many names, but it is part of the deen.

Deen is the first hadith, um, that the scholars teach their students is called Hadith Jibril.

It's called Ummu Sunnah.

Just like how the Fatiha is called, uh, Ummu Quran, the mother of the Quran.

Subhanallah.

Anyhow, uh, the Fatiha is called Ummu Quran.

And there is a hadith, uh, hadith Jibril that's called Ummu Sunnah, right? It's a hadith when Sayyidina Jibril [both speaking Arabic] came to the Prophet [speaking Arabic], uh, wearing a white cloth.

This is hadith sahih.
