About this listen

 https://youtu.be/IDIR-TMhmAY Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, one of the tendencies that seems to be predominant today is the tendency to correct others. People seem to walk around with this thing as if it's their duty and Allah has sent them to correct others. And no one to convincing will seems to work. We try to tell them, Allah sent us to correct ourselves, to improve ourselves, to make our own better, to learn and practice this deen ourselves. But we do not correct others. In this video, I have already said that let not your correction, meaning the way you correct people, let not your correction, let not the way you correct people be worse than the mistake. It is so surprising. It is so surprising to see how this is happening. This is so common, so common, where you find people over and over again. The way they correct somebody is so awful that people forget about what was said, and they get stuck on how it was said. But this is the tendency, one single word, one single letter. I've seen this happening so many times, where the Imam, for example, is reciting Quran and doing a beautiful job, and thanks to his recitation, you are in khudu, you are able to concentrate, you are able to focus in your salah, and the quality of your salah, alhamdulillah, is better than it would otherwise have been. Okay? And then when the salah is finished, somebody will say to the Imam that that particular ayah in that particular ayah, that particular word that you pronounced was wrong in this way. You know, some issue of tajweed. Now, tajweed is important, there's no doubt about that. But we also know the usool that as long as the mistake is not a major mistake, as long as it's not changing the meaning of the word, and as long as it's not a mistake in Surah al-Fatiha, it's not such a serious mistake. But you focus on that. And the fact of the rest of the recitation is gone from you. Anyone with any grace would have complimented the Khari on the beauty of the recitation, but no. We want to show that I know better, that I am, you know, more knowledgeable than you and so on and so on. May Allah have mercy. And many such examples of how people in their enthusiasm, their correction is worse than the level of the mistake. Let me give you a beautiful example of how correction should be done. Okay? Okay. Okay. So, there was a man in Madinah, an elderly man, who was doing wudu incorrectly. And the two sons of Sayyidina Ali , Hassan and Hussein , they saw this. So they went to the man and Sayyidina Hassan Ibn Ali . He was a very good man. He was a very good man. He was a very good man. He said to the man, he said, uncle, my brother and I are having some disagreement with regard to the way in which wudu should be done. So if you don't mind, we will both do wudu before you. If you can please look at us and see and tell us which one is doing the wudu correctly and which one is making a mistake. And both of them, one by one, they did wudu. And obviously both of them did it correctly. Okay. So, the man realized what was going on. He realized that this was about him, not about them. So he said to them when they finished, he said, you have both performed the wudu wallahi by Allah. Both of you performed the wudu beautifully and correctly. And it was I who was mistaken. And he said, I thank you for your wisdom and your gentleness in teaching me. It is myicing and my salutations to your like without the teachings and rumors and news of one from among themselves going against you. It is in the middle and very deep with all of the μ unanimously. So in Day終 están estas or notargent discuss about what will takes place. It was simple and simple and a long marriage. You tell your wife that you wanted something to give. Now you are like that father, like the moo of the mother who has learnt and your little brother who doesn't know the mother. Your mom doesn't know what he needs. You don't want his belly there.
