MANNERS OF VISITING 03

🌴Praise be to Allah Almighty
      
      
                 Manners
           *of Visiting.... 3*
        *______________________*
            *Sitting between*
               *two Persons*

You should seek to benefit from the company and wisdom of the elders who are described as *"a fruit at the end of the season."* I would add, *‘a sun wearing the veil’* since it will leave us and disappear at night. Be keen to attend the gatherings of the elders whether scholars, pious persons, nobles, or relatives. Soon you may lament their departure and your loss.

It is an inappropriate Muslim manner to whisper to someone sitting next to you if you are in a group of three people. The third person will feel deserted and isolated and will think the worst of thoughts.

The Messenger (Peace be upon him) hated this. Imam Malik and Abu Dawood reported that he said: *"No two shall exchange whispers in the presence of a third person."* That the Prophet used ‘No two…’ in an assertive negative form, indicates that such a mistake is not only inappropriate but an unimaginable and instinctively despicable.

Abdullah Bin Umar was asked, *"What if they were four?"* ‘Then it does not matter,’ he answered, meaning it is not irritating then to whisper or to mutter. If a friend entrusted you with a secret, do not betray him or her. Do not tell it even to your best friend or closest relative.

To be Continued...in shaa Allah
