There was a man called Hakim At-Tai. He was the chief of a tribe in Nets called At-Tab-Bahit-Bannu-Tai and his son Uday bin Hatim became a Muslim. He was one of the Sahaba. Hatim At-Tai was known for his generosity. And I remember one of the earliest stories that my mother told me, and I must have been a meek, I mean I was definitely under 10, I was probably maybe five or six years old, was the story of Hatim At-Tai. And she used to say Hatim Tai. So the story that my mother told me was that Hatim At-Tai was one day a man, he had a horse. He had a particular stallion which was very famous all over Arabia for its breeding and for its speed and all the noble qualities of a horse. And he was a very famous man. He was a very famous man. He was a very famous man. So Hatim At-Tai was famous as the owner of this horse. So a man came to him once and his intention was to buy this horse. So he came to his village. He came and met him. And as is the norm in our culture, when you meet somebody, even for a transactional reason, you don't immediately go there and start talking about the transactions. I've come to buy you a horse. I come to buy a car. I come to buy you a vehicle. I come to buy you a car. I come to buy you a vehicle. And this man bought me a horse. And it was a very, very nice horse. There was a courtesy involved. And you meet the person. And the person, you know the other person shows their hospitality to you. And so on. And all of this is part of the part of our culture. So this man went there and Hatim At-Tai, he came to see him. So Hatim At-Tai invited him home. And as we know in Islam, a guest has a right to be hosted by you for sure. And this is the case. This is the case. This is the case. three days without question any guest so he has a right to be hosted and so hot on tight no he we hosted him and so on and at the time of the meal they had this yeah wonderful roast meat and so on now they passed two days pass and then the man said to him I have come here with this intention of requesting you to sell your house to me so how do I say to him for once I wish you had not followed our culture he said what do you mean he said because we are going through a very difficult time in terms of drought having a massive drought here in this country and when you came as a guest said the only thing I had was the horse and I slaughtered the horse to for you to eat and if you had told me you came by the horse I wouldn't have started us now see this see the level of generosity see the level of you know the the hospitality toward the host what in Urdu we call mehmanawazi another story about Hathiman Tai which Maharani just told me is somebody asked him they said who do you know anybody who is more generous or have you met anyone who was more generous than yourself because Hathiman Tai was known for his amazing generosity as I mentioned and the man said yes I know someone who was more generous than me and he said I am not a generous person I am not a generous person than I am so this man said what's the story who's who this person so have to meant I said is somebody who owned 10 sheep so this person asking the question he said this is a strange thing a person owns ten sheep and he's more generous and you say yeah so he said what's the story so the story is that only when given services people have the capacity but to I went to the village of this person and so as this usual custom of people are being hospitable and this man he slaughtered one of his sheep and he brought him brought the meat and so on cooked it and brought it for heart even tie now how to a tie he said when I was eating the sheep and eating the meat he said I love the brain the mothers so this man noticed that I loved
