WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.490 The story of Joseph, peace be upon him, with the wife of Al-Aziz 00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:13.810 Women understand women's cunning 00:00:13.810 --> 00:00:18.929 After the dear woman reached the saying of women 00:00:18.929 --> 00:00:25.160 A dear woman tells her boy about himself because he has fallen in love with her 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.960 We see it in clear error 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.119 I realized the meaning of this statement 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.320 We only said this out of deceit, not to encourage it 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.409 So I met his deceiver with greater cunning than him 00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:48.210 When I heard about their deception, I sent for them 00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:56.609 And I made a place for them to recliner 00:00:56.609 --> 00:01:09.299 Each of them brought a knife 00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:13.000 She said he left them 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.859 When they saw him, they enlarged him 00:01:17.859 --> 00:01:20.659 They cut off their hands 00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:26.060 And they said, God forbid 00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:30.659 What a human being 00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:37.739 This is nothing but a generous king 00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:42.540 This verse indicates that it was the nature of society at that time 00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:47.140 Passing on people’s conversations in councils and what goes on in them 00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:49.540 It is a bad trait 00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:54.140 The transmission of hadith between people is not free of additions and distortions 00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:58.870 And changing the meaning and carrying it to the worst bearings 00:01:58.870 --> 00:02:03.069 This stems from the quality of society's culture 00:02:03.069 --> 00:02:06.269 If society is busy with trivial matters 00:02:06.269 --> 00:02:10.069 He fell into such bad ethics 00:02:10.069 --> 00:02:16.590 He became concerned only with delving into people's honor and pondering their backbiting 00:02:16.590 --> 00:02:21.389 And you, my sister, are an example in the story of the dear woman and the other women 00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:28.389 They transmitted the hadith related to Al-Aziz’s wife courting Joseph, peace be upon him 00:02:28.389 --> 00:02:31.990 Such councils are not suitable for you 00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:35.789 You must choose the councils you attend 00:02:35.789 --> 00:02:38.789 Choose who you sit with 00:02:38.789 --> 00:02:43.590 So that one day it will not be the talk of councils 00:02:43.590 --> 00:02:49.419 And so that the secrets of your home do not spread through this bad company 00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:54.419 There is a certain good for you in the will of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:59.020 When he said, “Do not keep company with anyone but a believer.” 00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:02.419 Only a pious person will eat your food 00:03:02.419 --> 00:03:04.550 Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi 00:03:04.550 --> 00:03:09.550 Companionship outside the home should be with believing women 00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:14.550 If you want her to enter your home and inform her of your privacy 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:17.810 Make sure of her piety 00:03:17.810 --> 00:03:21.810 The story of Youssef with Al-Aziz’s wife in this second scene 00:03:21.810 --> 00:03:25.810 We note this issue clearly 00:03:25.810 --> 00:03:30.810 The news that was to be kept secret spread throughout the community 00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:35.810 It became on people's tongues and in their private and public gatherings 00:03:35.810 --> 00:03:40.810 Even the women who spoke to us about the news and commented on it 00:03:40.810 --> 00:03:44.810 Their words soon reached the dear woman 00:03:44.810 --> 00:03:47.030 And I understood what it meant 00:03:47.030 --> 00:03:50.030 What did we mean by this statement? 00:03:50.030 --> 00:03:57.030 Women in Medina said that Al-Aziz’s wife was seducing her boy about himself 00:03:57.030 --> 00:03:59.030 She was passionate about love 00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:03.030 We see it in clear error 00:04:03.030 --> 00:04:06.349 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:11.449 And we said this out of denial of evil and hatred of vice 00:04:11.449 --> 00:04:15.449 Nor for the love of goodness and the support of virtue 00:04:15.449 --> 00:04:18.449 But we said it out of deception and trickery 00:04:18.449 --> 00:04:22.449 To reach her and force her to invite them 00:04:22.449 --> 00:04:25.449 And their views with their seeing eyes 00:04:25.449 --> 00:04:30.449 What invalidates what they claim to see with the eyes of their seeing 00:04:30.449 --> 00:04:33.449 So they excuse her for what they humiliated her for 00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:36.449 It is deception, not opinion 00:04:36.449 --> 00:04:38.670 When I heard about their deception 00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:43.670 It was expected that you would hear it from a frequenter among these houses 00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:45.670 From communication visits 00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:49.670 The servants differ from each to the other 00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:52.670 And they said it only so that you could hear it 00:04:52.670 --> 00:04:55.699 If he does not reach it, pardon 00:04:55.699 --> 00:04:58.699 They were intentional about delivering it 00:04:58.699 --> 00:05:00.699 It was what we wanted 00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:06.120 They had bad intentions with what they said 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.120 They wanted to see the beautiful boy 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.120 Which the dear woman was passionate about 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.279 Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.339 But what they said was what they said about that 00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:25.339 And she told them what they told about her and Joseph 00:05:25.339 --> 00:05:28.339 They are more devious than they mentioned 00:05:28.339 --> 00:05:30.339 To show them to Joseph 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:32.500 They are so cunning 00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:34.500 They didn't just want to see 00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:37.500 But they wanted something more than that 00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:41.500 The verses that follow this verse indicate this 00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:45.500 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, explained it by saying: 00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:48.500 Perhaps they are aiming for them 00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:52.500 He is attracted by their unexpected beauty 00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:57.500 He was not attracted by her beauty, which he had become accustomed to before he reached his peak 00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:01.500 His look at her was the way a slave looked at his mistress 00:06:01.500 --> 00:06:04.500 Or the boy to his mother 00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:09.629 It was presented in the surah with the most creative form of brevity and eloquence 00:06:09.629 --> 00:06:12.629 The highest expression of politeness and integrity 00:06:12.629 --> 00:06:17.139 I understood the dear woman from what they said 00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:20.139 It's not just a saying 00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:24.139 Rather, it was cunning on their part to achieve Joseph’s vision 00:06:24.139 --> 00:06:29.139 Even the Qur’anic expression indicates her quick understanding of his deception 00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:31.139 And He said, Glory be to Him 00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:34.370 When I heard about their deception 00:06:34.370 --> 00:06:36.370 And deception is not heard 00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:38.370 He only hears what you say 00:06:38.370 --> 00:06:43.370 But she did not understand what was meant immediately after hearing it 00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:47.370 God Almighty expressed it by her hearing what was meant 00:06:47.370 --> 00:06:49.370 And not just for words 00:06:49.370 --> 00:06:55.370 This is because women are more capable than men of understanding women’s cunning and plotting 00:06:55.370 --> 00:07:03.370 Therefore, a woman becomes quickly sensitive to any communication between her husband and the women around him 00:07:03.370 --> 00:07:06.370 Because she understands women's plots more than him 00:07:06.370 --> 00:07:10.370 She fears that he will fall into their schemes and schemes 00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:13.370 So they reach for them and he leaves her 00:07:13.370 --> 00:07:18.430 Al-Aziz’s wife responded to the women’s deception with greater deception than his own 00:07:18.430 --> 00:07:21.500 When I heard about their deception 00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:25.500 I sent for them and prepared a place for them 00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:28.500 Each of them brought a knife 00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:31.500 He said he would leave them 00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:35.589 When they saw him, they made him arrogant and cut off their hands 00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:40.589 They said, God forbid, this is not human 00:07:40.589 --> 00:07:43.589 This is nothing but a generous king 00:07:43.589 --> 00:07:46.819 Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said 00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:48.819 sent to them 00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:52.819 That is, she invited them to her house to host them 00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:55.980 And I prepared a place for them 00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:59.980 Ibn Abbas and Saeed Ibn Jubair and Mujahid said 00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:02.980 Al-Hasan, Al-Sadi and others 00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:05.980 It is a gathering in which there is a bed and beds prepared 00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:08.980 And the food in them is cut with knives 00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:11.980 From Atraj and the like 00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:14.980 That is why God Almighty said 00:08:14.980 --> 00:08:17.980 Each of them brought a knife 00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:21.009 This was a plot on her part 00:08:21.009 --> 00:08:25.009 And to meet them in their deception to see him 00:08:25.009 --> 00:08:28.300 He said he would leave them 00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:32.299 This is because she had hidden it somewhere else 00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:36.299 When he came out and we saw him, they enlarged him 00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:38.299 That is, the greatest of it 00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:41.299 That is, the greatest of his status and the most venerable of his destiny 00:08:41.299 --> 00:08:45.299 They started cutting off their hands in amazement at seeing him 00:08:45.299 --> 00:08:50.299 They think they are cutting the citron with knives 00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:54.299 What is meant is that they cut their hands with it 00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:58.360 It was the result of the deceit of Mirror Al-Aziz with women 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.360 They cut off their hands without realizing it 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.360 From the greatness of what we saw of the beauty of Joseph, peace be upon him 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.620 This is a picture of the gatherings of wealthy women 00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:15.620 What goes on in them and what occupies their minds 00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:20.620 These are the conditions of women who turn away from the remembrance of God 00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:23.620 They indulge in worldly pleasures 00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:27.620 They only care about talking about women's symptoms 00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:30.620 And plotting against each other 00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:33.620 Competition over issues of beauty, adornment, and luxury 00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:36.620 They are in daily battles 00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:40.620 It brings them nothing but grief and remorse 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:44.840 And dissatisfaction with what God has divided for them 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.840 Praise be to God who distinguished the believer by her faith 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.840 He praised her for her goodness and the nature of her work 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.940 And He said, Glory be to Him 00:09:54.940 --> 00:10:00.940 The righteous women are obedient and protect the unseen with what God has preserved 00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:02.940 For the rest of the talk 00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:06.940 We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing 00:10:06.940 --> 00:10:12.960 The story of Joseph and Al-Aziz’s wife
