In this session, Shaykh Yahya first translates a beautiful poem about Hababah Khadijah al-Kubra, radi Allahu anha. the beloved first wife of the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He then discusses the next character trait of Futuwwa mentioned in Imam Muhammad ibn al-Husayn al Sulami’s (d. 412 AH, 1034 CE) book, Kitab al-Futuwwa: to show compassion to your brothers (sisters) and to share your possessions with them. We are encouraged to give things away in accordance with the sunnah and provided practical advice on how to make this trait a reality in our own lives.
