2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,269
The hadith of the countenance.

3
00:00:08,269 --> 00:00:19,210
His face would radiate with modesty and composure, expressing what he disliked.

4
00:00:19,210 --> 00:00:28,210
Yet, out of modesty, he would not speak harshly, nor would he frequently rebuke; rather, his expression would change and his features would tighten.

5
00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:31,210
Thus, they would know that he was displeased or angry.

6
00:00:31,210 --> 00:00:35,399
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says:

7
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:43,399
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was more modest than a virgin in her private quarters.

8
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:49,420
If he saw something he disliked, we would recognize it in his face.

9
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:54,420
This is because she has not mingled with anyone and remains modest and gentle.

10
00:00:54,420 --> 00:01:01,420
She is soft-spoken, unaccustomed to harshness, and barely acts or speaks.

11
00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:06,420
Therefore, she is described as possessing dignity, modesty, and intense shyness.

12
00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:12,620
Likewise, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was even more so in shunning vile things.

13
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:16,620
And in distancing himself from reprehensible matters and those who commit them.

14
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:20,650
If he disliked something, he would express it through his face and his conduct.

15
00:01:20,650 --> 00:01:25,680
Consequently, his Companions and those present with him would be deterred.

16
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,349
Modesty is a great moral conduct.

17
00:01:29,349 --> 00:01:36,349
It inspires one to do good and abandon evil, and it is among the traits of faith.

18
00:01:36,349 --> 00:01:41,510
The comparison of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to the modesty of a virgin in her quarters,

19
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:44,510
Is merely for the sake of approximation and understanding.

20
00:01:44,510 --> 00:01:51,700
A person lives modestly in goodness; the branch remains as long as the bark remains.

21
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:58,700
By Allah, there is no good in life or in this world if modesty departs.

22
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:05,150
This modesty adorns the personality and refines conduct.

23
00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:09,150
It leads to piety, brevity of speech, and avoiding unnecessary interference.

24
00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:12,150
It increases chastity and self-discipline.

25
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:16,439
This was the case with the Prophet (peace be upon him),

26
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:21,439
Unless the sacred limits of Allah were violated or the laws were undermined.

27
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:27,500
If the sacred boundaries were transgressed, his anger would flare and his rebuke would intensify.

28
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,500
He would act in accordance with his station, guiding those who needed correction.

29
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:34,500
And holding them to the law of Allah the Exalted.

30
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,500
In this is an indication of the virtue of modesty.

31
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,500
And that it is a praiseworthy trait.

32
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,500
As long as it does not lead to weakness and frailty.

33
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:48,500
For then it is not modesty, but rather weakness and incapacity.

34
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,500
And Allah is the Grantor of success.
