Translation text: أن لا حرج أن يستعمل الإنسان كلمة "لا" وليس فيها شيء There is nothing wrong if a person uses the word "No". فالنبي عليه الصلاة والسلام استعمل كلمة "لا" وأصحابه رضي الله عنهم استعملوا معه كلمة "لا"، The Prophet ﷺ used the word "No", and his companions (also) used the word "No" with him. فجابر رضي الله عنه لما أعيا جمله ولحقه النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام في قصة عجيبة، When the camel of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) got tired and the Prophet ﷺ caught up with him - a wonderful story - جابر كان مع النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام في سفر وكان على جمل هزيل لا يمشي تعب Jabir was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and he was riding on a lean, weak camel. it wouldn’t walk (it was lagging behind) and had gotten tired. فلحقه النبي صلي الله عليه وسلم، كيف لحقه وهو هزيل، So, the Prophet ﷺ caught up with him. How did he catch up with him while the camel was weak and tired? يعني أن الجمل قدام الناس؟ لا، Does this mean that the camel was in front of the people? No, لكن من عادة الرسول صلى الله لأنه راعي أمته أنه يمشي في الآخر ما يمشي قدامهم يمشي وراهم، لأجل أحد احتاج ولا شيء يساعده عليه الصلاة والسلام however, from the habits of the Messenger ﷺ - as he is the guardian of his Ummah - is that he used to walk at the back, so that if someone needed something, he ﷺ would help him. شوف التواضع وحسن الرعاية، Look at the humbleness and the good care! لحق جابراً وجمله أعيا ما يمشي فضربه النبي، ضرب الجمل ودعاه وقال بعنيه بأوقية فقال جابر "لا" قال "لا" للرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم He caught up with Jabir and his camel had gotten exhausted, it wouldn’t walk. So, the Prophet ﷺ hit the camel and called Jabir (to ride it). Then he said, "Sell it to me for an Uqiyyah (approx. 1 ounce)", so Jabir said "No". He told the Messenger ﷺ "No", ولا أنكر عليه الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام and the Messenger ﷺ didn’t disapprove of it. والنبي عليه الصلاة والسلام هنا لما قال له سعد أتصدق بثلثي مالي؟ قال "لا إذاً ما في مانع أن تقول "لا And when the Prophet ﷺ was asked by Sa'd bin Malik, "Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?" He (the Prophet) said, "No". وليس سوء أدب ولا سوء خلق And this is not (considered to be from) bad manners or bad character. كثير من الناس الآن يأنف أن يقول "لا" يقول سلامك، سلام سلامتك لا بأس طيب، Many people now do not like saying "No". They say, "Salamak, salam, salamtak." That’s good, there’s nothing wrong (with that); تدعو الله له بالسلامة لكن إذا قلت لا فليس عليك عيب. making Dua to Allah for his safety, however, if you say no, then there’s nothing wrong. ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://youtube.com/channel/UCSZQ94R_9fXNumssaa5BAkg 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
