Welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, today we're going to react to the hungry prophet when our beloved prophet Abu Bakr and Umar were hungry. Emotional true story by the daily reminder. But listen to this hadith, narrated by Abu Bakr and Umar that the prophet, he went out of his home at an odd time of the day, at an odd time of the day or the night. So it was a time that the prophet's isam typically would not come out of his home. So it can be assumed that it was between Dhuhr al-Asr or it was sometime in the night and the prophet's isam came out. When he walked out, he noticed two people sitting in the masjid. Abu Bakr and Umar may Allah be pleased with them. Typically, this story would end up going in this direction. They then went and they worshiped Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala or they proceeded to some sort of expedition or some sort of place in Medina or to visit somebody because that's how it always was, right? The prophet's isam Abu Bakr and Umar, how many hadith start off that way. The prophet's isam and Abu Bakr and Umar may Allah be pleased with them both. This one is different. The prophet's isam comes out of his home at an odd time of the night and he notices Abu Bakr and Umar sitting there and he says to them, what is it that brought you out of your homes in this odd hour? We're hungry. We came out out of hunger. Abu Bakr and Umar, these are the three most important people in the umma. Think about that and they're sitting in the masjid and they said the only thing that brought us out at this hour was a juror. We're starving. We're hungry. And guess what the prophet's isam says? He said, and I too, by the one in whose hand is my soul, I only was brought out of my home because of that which brought you out of your home. The prophet's isam and Abu Bakr and Umar were hungry and they were coming out of their home at an odd time of the night because they were hungry. If you just stop and pause at that for a moment, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam who had the most adoring set of followers of any man in history who had the greatest generation present with him in the sahaba of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam khayru umma tiqarni, the greatest umma, the greatest generation of people, the greatest man with the two greatest men of the umma that were not prophet. In the masjid, in a prominent place, because they didn't have anything to eat and they could not sleep because of their intense hunger. The man who alaihi sallallahu wasallam used to have people at his door all throughout the day and night knocking and calling out to him always making demands of him about whom Allah revealed surah al-hujurat, people calling upon the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, the surah of the hujurat because they were calling upon the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam throughout the day throughout the night and really harassing him. He was being harassed alaihi sallallahu alaihi wasallam to listen to this person and listen to that person and do this and do that and not being given his privacy, not being given his personal space alaihi sallallahu alaihi wasallam and they were hungry. No one noticed that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, Abu Bakr and Umar were hungry and this is a reality, by the way, that we have to understand that usually caretakers are never cared for. It's a part of our human psyche. No one thought to ask the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam if he was hungry. No one thought to ask Abu Bakr or Umar if they were okay. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam who used to go out and if he noticed hunger in your face, think of the narrator of the hadith Abu Hurairah who once the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam just knew he was hungry by looking at him and took his hand and found him something to eat for the night. He knew it from your face. The prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam who spent day and night in the service of the people, feeding the people, no one bothered to ask, Ya Rasulullah, are you hungry? His khuluq, his character was the Quran. You would think that these people are sufficed because of their ta'af, because of his modesty sallallahu alaihi wasallam. It never showed. He was smiling. He looked fine. The prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam never showed discontents with his companions. He never showed them that he was hungry. He never showed them that he was in need. In fact, the only time he did it sallallahu was when Umar sallallahu alaihi sallam, one of the three hungry men at that time, walked up to the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam in the battle of Ahzab and khanda and pulled up his shirt and showed the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam that he had a stone tied to his stomach because of how hungry he was. And the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam pulled up his shirt and he had two stones tied to his. That's the only time he ever disclosed his situation. You know what? This is the implementation of the we don't want anything from you. No thanks, no gratitude, no compensation. Who were competing and serving the people in the obscure parts of Medina were hungry. It's not an excuse for the umma. That doesn't mean the community got a free pass. Like, oh okay, well it's their fault. No, it's not their fault. People need to pay more attention. The volunteers, the caretakers, those who lead in whatever capacity, they also need to be cared for because if they're cared for, they can care for better. But out of their akhla, it didn't show. So these three men, subhanallah, the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam, Abu Bakr and Umar all gathered together hungry. And so he is living his own example alaihi sallallahu alaihi sallam and that's the peak of service and not having any expectation of the people. Far from living like a king, the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam was living poorer than everyone else that he was serving and he never complained to the people. Story continues. The prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam said to them, umu, get up and let's go find some food. The prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam, the greatest creation, the greatest human being ever alive and Abu Bakr and Umar, the greatest man of this umma walking around hoping that someone will find them and give them food. They come to the house of one Ansari man and the Ansar were a generous group of people and the woman of the house was there and you imagine opening your door at this strange time of the night and who's at your door? The prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam, Abu Bakr and Umar. Something must really be wrong. This is probably a death announcement. I mean how does this happen where these three people show up at my house in the middle of the night? So she said marhaban wa ahla, like she was shocked, she welcomed them. Marhaban wa ahla. Greetings to these amazing people and the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam greeted her back and they asked her where her husband was. She said that he went out to fetch some water. These are simple men. He's going out to fetch some fresh water for them to be able to drink for that night but she invited them in to wait for the husband. The husband comes back home with these, canister it with this water and he sees these three men sitting in his living room and he said all praises be to Allah who honored me with the most amazing guest. What privilege do I have to have these types of guests in my home? And so as he started to see them sitting there he recognized their need. He gave them water and then he went out and he started to collect dates, all sorts of dates, ripe dates, dry dates. He starts bringing the dates and he starts hurrying up back to the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam and to Abu Bakr and Umar, serving them dates with their water and then not only that, after he got them those dates, he takes his slaughtering knife and he goes and he grabs a sheep and he wants to slaughter and cook for them and the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam said make sure it's not haloub, make sure it's not a milk bearing sheep and he knew his sheep that he had his flock so he slaughtered, he cooked and then he served them that cooked meat. Prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam, Abu Bakr and Umar sitting in your living room eating water, dates and some meat probably for the first time in months and at that moment as they're eating to their fill the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam, who does he look at? He looks at Abu Bakr and Umar. You don't get off because of this. He said we live this experience together. That's an unforgettable night. That's an experience that you don't forget and these are companions. These are three men that deeply love each other and he says I swear by him in whose hand is my soul you will be asked about this night about this blessing on the day of judgment what got you out of your homes was hunger and but you are not returning to your homes without having been touched by the blessings of Allah. You better be grateful for these blessings. It's unfathomable to think of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam as the hungry prophet. It is unfathomable for me as well because I simply do not know much about Prophet Muhammad but this story is very humanizing. This must be the first time reacting to a video and not cutting it off every couple of minutes or so but actually looking it through for eight minutes I just see here and really letting it sink in. It is a very beautiful story and as I said very humanizing. It gives you a completely different perspective of who that man was. He was a man apparently with companions and he was suffering hunger just like anybody else but I really understand what this bond that he spoke about this memorable night is about. When you suffer and endure pain with your friends with your companions there is such a bond that you will never forget. I remember those days with my friends back in the day in Germany cold winter nights man supremely cold winter nights minus 16 degrees Celsius and we would gather we would meet up nevertheless despite all of that absolutely broke not much stuff around us just us as friends so to speak hanging out together and making the best out of those cold winter nights yet again I'm not comparing my experience here not at all please don't get this the wrong way I simply can relate to the humanity that is being displayed it's absolutely beautiful. Think of the brave prophet you think of the courageous prophet you think of the eloquent prophet you think of this but the hungry prophet alaihi salatu wa s-salam the orphan prophet alaihi salatu wa s-salam the grieving widower alaihi salatu wa s-salam the grieving parent alaihi salatu wa s-salam and here the hungry prophet the hungry abu bakr the hungry umar who in their lowest moments this is an experience this isn't the prophet s-salatu wa s-salam would go hungry often in their lowest moments are still being reminded to say alhamdulillah because you will be asked about that blessing on the day of judgment now to summarize an attitude of gratitude here from the shamaal of the prophet s-salatu wa s-salam from his description the prophet s-salatu wa s-salam was already expressing gratitude before that moment he was expressing gratitude by not complaining of his situation and by still being a grateful servant to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala even as that situation was taking place so it's not until he it's not when he praised Allah after it was his attitude before he got that na'een as well from the attitude of the prophet s-salatu wa s-salam from the shamaal of the prophet s-salatu wa s-salatu wa s-salatu wa s-salatu wa s-salatu he never found fault in anything that was given to him and he never criticized any food that was served to him any king prime minister leader how would they act with their food what about us what about the prophet s-salatu wa s-salatu he never once criticized the food that was given to him not once he never criticized a gift that was given to him anything that was given to him the prophet s-salatu wa s-salatu showed gratitude if in Germany we have that saying i nem geschenken gaul schaut man nicht insmaul which essentially means that if somebody gifts you a horse you don't check the teeth of the horse you're basically not critiquing what has been given to you no matter if it is an old horse if it is a sick horse as long as it is a gift you should be appreciative and show gratitude of course he didn't like the food he simply didn't eat it but he would not he wouldn't look down upon it or talk down the gift or whatever was served to him because that would be in gratitude not just to the person who gave that gift or served that food but to the one who provided that in the first place he didn't he wasn't inclined there wasn't a slip the prophet s-salatu never showed in gratitude for anything that was given to him or criticized it whether he was in Mecca or whether he was in Medina and Aisha says that three helals three present moons meaning three months would pass upon us and the only meal we had in our homes were the two black things water and dates that's all we would have if you had water and dates in the place of a meal and someone asked you did you have dinner would you say yeah i had dinner dates and water you wouldn't even say that you wouldn't even call that a meal that was the food of the prophet s-salatu wa s-salam many times those were his meals how do we get down to this there's a practice Allah challenges you and I if you were to count the blessings of Allah you would not be able to do so if you took one blessing Allah gave you and tried to count the blessings within that blessing you would fail i would fail to be able to fully count those blessings from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala secondly always find something good to say about your situation people are complaining find something good about the situation if people are talking down something talk it up always speak of the blessing of your lord show that gratitude make sure that it's vocalized what you're saying alhamdulillah for what it is that's been provided to you try to pay attention to the things that others are not paying attention to you know you read all these websites on how to show gratitude the first thing you say is a gratitude journal write it down Allah already said it count your blessings aside from that those gratitude journals and whatnot they're so pathetic to me personally really show gratitude say thanks to what exactly who am i thanking here from this new ag perspective the atheistic perspective we should be grateful but grateful to who hey i'm grateful to have water absolutely fantastic i'm grateful that i have shelter i'm grateful for my family i get all of that but the real question is who am i grateful to who created all of those things around me how can i be grateful to a what i have to be grateful to a who otherwise it doesn't add up at all and this is why i see people being grateful for things and ultimately they all get depressed because they do not have god within their life you get a point to actually sit there and count the blessings of Allah what can i be grateful for that i wasn't paying attention to today something that came very simple to me say alhamdulillah for them always say something good about the situation that you are in find something to say good about that situation even if everyone or everything around you is pointing towards the bad of that situation and the last thing of course don't you ever feel entitled we are not better than those people that are dying in the cold right now we don't deserve it more than that our ahwal are a test for us our state is a test for us and their state is a test for them but no one deserved the blessings of this world like the prophets lisa and abu bakr and umar may Allah be pleased with them but they didn't feel entitled it wasn't entitled it wasn't the prophets lisa i'm saying it's about time you recognized my hunger and that you did a better job they were not entitled instead they were always grateful we should be questioning ourselves as to why Allah s.w.t chose us for the comfort that we are in right now and the best way to thank Allah for a ni'ma is to use that ni'ma in a way that's pleasing to him all right guys and this is it for today's video must be the video that i spoke the least words ever here on youtube usually i always interrupt the videos this time i really had to listen because this is news to me i didn't know the story about the prophet and the companions that being said however it is relatable and especially the commentary in the end by the sheikh here makes sense to me as well of course we have to be grateful but as i just mentioned if we don't have somebody to thank for we get lost in the process and this is what i saw with all so many so-called spiritual people i'm grateful for life i'm grateful to the universe yeah who created life who created the universe what is the origin for that can you be thankful to the creator for a change a knowledge that all of this that you are thankful for is just a creation and not the creator even within those new age circles you have the saying love the creator and not the creation but once we start talking about god they start cringing and they run away like little devils that they are it's absolutely pathetic ultimately i come to the conclusion that without a creator we cannot be truly thankful because our thanks are not directed towards anything in particular they're directed towards material objects certain objects that are simply temporary they all will decay they all will vanish even this water here will vanish this planet will evaporate the sun will stop shining this universe will come to an end only god is eternal so therefore how can we be grateful for something if we don't address the eternal creator all right guys but this is it for today's video absolutely beautiful if you
