1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,719
Among the beauties of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

2
00:00:05,719 --> 00:00:13,419
Fairness toward one’s own self.

3
00:00:13,419 --> 00:00:17,339
Despite the harshness of the claimant and the rudeness of the intruder.

4
00:00:17,339 --> 00:00:19,379
He did not deprive him of his right.

5
00:00:19,379 --> 00:00:21,940
Nor did He deny his need.

6
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:24,539
Nor did He unleash His soldiers upon him.

7
00:00:24,539 --> 00:00:29,539
Rather, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, acknowledged his right and his request.

8
00:00:29,539 --> 00:00:32,780
And he increased it with kindness and excellence.

9
00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:34,259
In the Sahih.

10
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:39,700
A man demanded a debt from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

11
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:41,549
He spoke to him harshly.

12
00:00:41,549 --> 00:00:43,869
His Companions intended to deal with him.

13
00:00:43,869 --> 00:00:46,429
But he said, "Leave him."

14
00:00:46,429 --> 00:00:49,869
"For the owner of a right has a claim to speak."

15
00:00:49,869 --> 00:00:53,670
They bought a camel for him and gave it to him.

16
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:58,659
They said, "We only find one that is better than his age."

17
00:00:58,659 --> 00:01:02,740
He said, "Buy it and give it to him."

18
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:07,680
"For the best of you is the best of you in repayment."

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,590
Here, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gathered the noblest of character traits.

20
00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:14,590
He was fair to him from his own self.

21
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:16,390
He acknowledged his right.

22
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:18,469
He pardoned his harshness.

23
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:20,390
He paid off his debt.

24
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:22,909
He excelled in the repayment.

25
00:01:22,909 --> 00:01:28,390
And he taught his Companions how to accommodate opponents and be patient with them.

26
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:32,349
For the best of you is the best of you in repayment.

27
00:01:32,349 --> 00:01:35,590
Who among us can reach this station?

28
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:37,989
And transcend the interests of his own self.

29
00:01:37,989 --> 00:01:42,739
And the grandeur of status, prestige, and lineage.

30
00:01:42,739 --> 00:01:46,859
It is the glorious personality refined by revelation.

31
00:01:46,859 --> 00:01:49,500
Illuminated by the lights of the Shari'ah.

32
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,099
Seeking what is with Allah.

33
00:01:52,099 --> 00:01:56,060
Where good character became a supreme value.

34
00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:59,260
Surpassing wealth, prestige, and fortune.

35
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:01,700
It does not care for the talk of people.

36
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:04,219
Nor the incitement of those sitting around.

37
00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:07,620
Or that such behavior is a rejected sign of weakness.

38
00:02:07,620 --> 00:02:08,900
Never.

39
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:11,500
It rises above all of that.

40
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,300
And in the Qur'an.

41
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:18,539
“The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth modestly, and when the foolish ones address them answer: Peace;” (25:63)

42
00:02:18,539 --> 00:02:21,259
We ask Allah the Exalted for His bounty.
