Lesson 18 - Hadeeths 15 And 16 - Speaking Good And Not Being Angry

A disbelieving neighbour has one right, The relative who is a neighbour has two rights. The Muslim neighbour who is a relative has three rights.

The answer is correct because it accurately identifies all the statements that are correct. The first statement acknowledges that we will not be questioned about what our tongues say, implying that our words hold significance and can have consequences. The second statement highlights the potential danger that can arise from the words we speak, emphasizing the importance of being cautious and mindful of what we say. The third statement reinforces the need for careful speech, suggesting that speaking good or remaining silent is the appropriate course of action.

The three manners mentioned in Hadeeth 15 are obligatory. This means that whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day is required to either speak good or remain silent. It is not a choice or a recommendation, but a duty for believers to watch their words and only utter that which is beneficial or stay silent if they cannot say something good. This emphasizes the importance of controlling one's speech and avoiding harmful or idle talk.

When a person becomes angry, their rationale and sanity may go away, causing them to make irrational decisions or act impulsively. They may also do things in the heat of the moment that they later regret. These are both negative consequences of anger. The other options, such as developing enthusiasm from acts of worship or showing good characteristics of manliness, are not directly related to the negative consequences of anger.

If a person does not fulfill one of the three things mentioned in the hadeeth as being from eemaan, it does not necessarily mean that they lack all traces of eemaan and are a disbeliever. It is possible for them to still possess some characteristics of eemaan (true faith) while also displaying characteristics of kufr (disbelief). This suggests that their level of eemaan may not be perfect, but it does not completely negate their belief.

The "guest" referred to in this hadith is a passing traveler who stays with you in your hometown. This means that the hospitality and generosity mentioned in the hadith should be extended specifically to those who are visiting from out of town and are in need of accommodation. It does not include neighbors or friends who live in the same hometown and visit regularly.

We have previously covered the following words: مَنْ (whoever), يُؤْمِنُ بِاَللَّهِ (he believes in Allaah), وَالْيَوْم (and the day), الْآخِرِ (the last one), خَيْر (good), رَجُل (man), قَالَ (he said), لِ (to), النَّبِيّ (the prophet), فَـ (so).

The next six questions are on the explanation of Hadeeth 15 only.

According to the Shaykh's explanation, the consideration Islam shows for the neighbor and the guest upholds the rights of Allah.

The correct answer is that the teacher should consider the characteristics and condition of the student before answering and should tailor his answer such that he might answer someone else in a different fashion. This means that the teacher should take into account the individual needs, abilities, and circumstances of each student when giving a verdict or advice. The teacher should not give the same verdict to everyone but rather adjust their response based on the specific characteristics and conditions of each student.
