عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه و سلم قَالَ:

"لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ".

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ [رقم: 13]، وَمُسْلِمٌ [رقم: 45].
[رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ] ، [وَمُسْلِمٌ]

On the authority of Abu Hamzah Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) — the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) — that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself. [Al-Bukhari] [Muslim]

Summary of DIscussion

This hadith is especially mentioned about "love" which is familiar to everyone, here are some aspects of love in Islam: 

After that, our parents, spouses, relatives, friends, all the human being and even the things we like should receive the love we have because love is not divided like a "Pizza." Every aspects can be considered as something we love because it is unlimited, we can love as many things as possible without reducing the portion of others.

2. Law - Morality - Love

Law refers to a set of formal rules and regulations enforced by a governing authority, while morality deals with principles and values that guide individual behaviour and are often linked to cultural, religious, or personal beliefs. Above all, the highest position is "Love."

3. Giving others what we love the most

The Qur'an reminds us that there is a “recognised right, for the needy and deprived” over our wealth (70:24-5), so by giving for the sake of others, a Muslim is fulfilling a duty to those in need and preventing him or her from becoming proud of their own generosity. This is associated with the words in this hadith "... until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself." So, when we give to others, we should consider what we like the most like giving the food we also eat, the kind of clothes we also wear and etc.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم

"مِنْ حُسْنِ إسْلَامِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ"

. حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ [رقم: 2318] ، ابن ماجه [رقم: 3976].

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Part of the perfection of one’s Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.”  (A hasan (good) hadeeth which was related by at-Tirmidhi and others in this fashion)

Summary of Discussion:

This hadith is so related to these days where most people especially adults feel so anxious about their lives. The overthinking we had each day gains unnecessary worries that are not in line with this hadits "leaving that which does not concern him."

There are 3 things that we should avoid when there are no benefits in it, such as:

1. Don't speak unless it is useful.

conversation can lead the speakers to somewhere good or bad based on the benefit in it, namely there are 4 types of conversation: 

• useful
• harmful
• worrisome (in the middle of useful and harmful)
• impractical (useless)

despite all types of conversation mentioned above, muslims only speak the "useful" things.

2. Don't do bad things both to others and our own selves.

"Bad Things" can be referred to something which can hurt anybody including our selves. In order to know the bad things, we need to learn about the concept of "knowledge" and "wisdom" first.

Knowledge and wisdom are two distinct concepts that are often used interchangeably but hold different meanings. While knowledge refers to the acquisition of information and facts, wisdom involves the application of knowledge along with experience, insight, and good judgment.

3. No need to overthink the unnecessary.

"Thinking" is part of the "act" we do as a muslim, this is the least thing we can do when something bad occured and appeared to us. Referring to the 34th Arbain Hadith which means: From Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri radhiyallahu 'anhu, he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah. said, 'Whoever of you sees evil, change it with your hand. If you can't, change it verbally. If you can't, deny it with your heart, and that is the weakest faith."

Vocabulary:

1. **Anxious** - Worry or nervousness about something - **Cemas**

2. **Overthinking** - Excessive thinking about something - **Merenung secara berlebihan**

3. **Unnecessary** - Not needed or required - **Tidak perlu**

4. **Concern** - A matter of interest or importance - **Kepentingan**

5. **Impractical** - Not useful or realistic - **Tidak praktis**

6. **Wisdom** - The ability to make sound judgments and decisions based on knowledge and experience - **Kebijaksanaan**

7. **Interchangeably** - Used in place of each other - **Saling berganti**

8. **Acquisition** - The act of gaining or obtaining something - **Perolehan**

9. **Insight** - The ability to understand or gain an accurate and deep understanding - **Wawasan**

10. **Judgment** - The ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions - **Penilaian**

Grammar Focus:

• Complex Sentences: The text uses complex sentences with multiple clauses to convey detailed information.

         Example: "This hadits is so related to these days where most people especially adults feel so anxious about their lives."

• • Main clause: "This hadits is so related to these days."
  • Subordinate clause: "where most people especially adults feel so anxious about their lives."

Hadith 11

Published: 29 August 2024

عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ سِبْطِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم وَرَيْحَانَتِهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: حَفِظْت مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم "دَعْ مَا يُرِيبُك إلَى مَا لَا يُرِيبُك". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ [رقم: 2520]، [وَالنَّسَائِيّ] وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

On the authority of Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abee Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the one much loved by him, who said: I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.”
[At-Tirmidhi] [An-Nasai] At-Tirmidhi said that it was a good and sound (hasan saheeh) hadeeth.

Summary of Discussion:

On August 29th, from 08:20 to 08:45 WIB, we read and discussed Hadith number 11 from Arba'in Nawawi. The discussion involved five participants: Agus, Fayandi, Febri, Debi, and Cha-Cha, with Agus serving as the reader.

We talked about the Hadith, which advises leaving what is doubtful in favor of what is certain.

Fayandi shared his experience at a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, where he avoided eating chicken because he was unsure if it had been slaughtered in the name of God, and instead chose fish as an alternative. Agus recounted his time in Samapta training, where a trainer emphasized, “If you have doubt, just leave it from now on.” Cha-Cha shared her decision to stop using nail polish (kutek) because she was unsure whether it would allow her to perform Wudu properly. Debi and Febri provided other examples of doubtful matters, such as hair coloring and eyebrow embroidery.

We also reflected on the brevity of human life, which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) described as typically between 60 and 70 years. We calculated that if one lives to be 60 years old, about 20 years are spent sleeping, 20 years working, and the remaining 20 years on other activities. We discussed how, if our intention behind all activities is for the sake of Allah, they can be considered acts of worship (Ibadah).

We delved into the meaning of Ibadah, concluding that it encompasses all actions done with the intention of pleasing Allah, not just physical or spiritual activities like prayer or recitation of the Quran. For example, sports can be an act of Ibadah if done with the intention of maintaining health for the sake of Allah.

Additionally, we touched on the history of Prophet Noah (AS). After the Great Flood, three groups of people emerged, who are identified today in anthropology as Caucasoid (Western and Middle Eastern people with white skin), Negroid (Africans, Papuans, etc., with black skin), and Mongoloid (Asians with yellow skin). We noted that the lifespan of Prophet Noah's people was around 1000 years, much longer than the lifespans we have today.

Lastly, we discussed Prophet Adam (AS), recognizing him as the father of all human beings.

Vocabulary

1. Prophet = Nabi
2. delved = menyelidiki
3. acts of worship = Ibadah
4. nail polish = kutek
5. eyebrow embroidery = sulam alis
