伊玛目演讲|当使者默罕默德开玩笑的时候 (素材来自Yaqeen Institute)

这部剧的出彩之处,还在于他将我们的空间和时间移位至1400年前的沙漠和绿洲,“身处”在先知ﷺ的那个时代背景下,并与之展开有关人生、生活、战争、礼拜等直到今天我们仍会遇到的问题。对于很多不太了解先知ﷺ或伊斯兰的人也能从这部剧中一窥当年的场景,从中获益。
当先知ﷺ跟你开玩笑,这意味着什么呢? 他ﷺ的大多数玩笑实际上都开在了底层群众身上,他ﷺ的大多数玩笑实际开在了那些被忽视的人群身上,而且大多数的那些玩笑都是开在那些鲜有人同他们讲话的那些人身上。
The way that you joke actually says a lot about you, and joking is something that we should really take seriously, in terms of the ethics that surround it, right? Sometimes, jokes can actually really humiliate someone. Sometimes they can honor someone. Sometimes jokes can take away from your own dignity, right? Because they display something about you that's actually not that pleasant. And sometimes jokes can be used to bring joy. So it's really about how you're using the joke, who you're joking with, and what the intention of the joke actually is.
你开玩笑的方式实际上可以反映出很多你的情况。开玩笑本身也值得我们认真对待,就其所附着的道德观念而言是有必有要的,对吧?有时候,玩笑真的可以羞辱某人;有时候,也能让某人更有荣誉感。有时候玩笑会让你的尊严荡然无存,对吧?因为玩笑其实反映的是你是谁,而不是玩笑能否逗笑别人。有时玩笑可以用来制造欢乐。 因此,开玩笑实际上取决你如何开,开谁的,以及本着什么目的去开玩笑。

Now, the first time the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would joke with you, it would probably take you aback. Why? Because he's Rasulillah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, right, So you hold him in such high esteem as you should Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. You've seen him in such a noble way as you should Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
说回先知ﷺ,他ﷺ第一次和你开玩笑时,可能会让你大吃一惊。 为什么? 因为他ﷺ是真主的使者啊,对吧?所以你对他ﷺ的定位可能尽可能的高。平时你也尽可能地看到的是他ﷺ谦虚的形象。
And the first time he jokes with you, you're going to be taking aback and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had that experience with some of the companions. So he would tell a joke Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and some of the sahabah said "Ya Rasulillah, you're joking with us?" Like, are you really joking with us?
当他ﷺ第一次和你开玩笑时,你会大吃一惊,这样的经历也发生当时的圣伴(愿主喜悦他们)身上。所以,他ﷺ开了玩笑后,一些圣伴(愿主喜悦之)说:“真主的使者ﷺ啊,您在跟我们开玩笑吗?” 就好像是,您真的是在和我们开玩笑吗?(明显觉得不可思议)
And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, I joke #wa la aqoolu illa sidqah#, I joke but I only speak the truth even when I joke.
先知ﷺ说,我是在开玩笑,但我开玩笑时,也只是讲真话。
So, the first thing about the joking of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam #as sadiq al amin# the honest and trustworthy one, the truthful one, would not tell a joke with a lie in it. Meaning, he wouldn't deceive you with a joke.
因此,有关先知ﷺ开玩笑的最初记载是,先知ﷺ作为一个诚实的人,一个守信的人,是不会撒谎的,是不会在笑话中加进谎言的。这意味着,他ﷺ不会用开玩笑的方式欺骗你。
And so, the Prohet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam set that standard, and by the way he also guaranteed Alayhi Salatu Wasallam a home #fi wasatil Jannah#, a home in the middle of paradise. #li man taraqal qadib wa in kaana maazihan# For someone that leaves off lying even if they are telling a joke.
因此,先知ﷺ设定了一个规则,顺便说一句,他ﷺ也保证(在后世)居住天园最中间的房子里的人为诚实之人,而那些说谎的人则不得居于其中,哪怕只是在开玩笑时说了谎话。
Now, when you're actually start to get to the specific jokes of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, I don't want you to feel bad if you don't find them funny.
现在,当你真正开始读到先知ﷺ的这些玩笑时,即使你不觉得它们有多好笑,我也不希望你感到太差。
Why, because, jokes usually don't translate well across culture and language right? So, your parents jokes are probably not funny to you, and your jokes are certainly not funny to your parents right?
为什么?因为玩笑在跨文化翻译过程中,并不总是效果一致。所以,你父母们的笑话可能对于你来说并不好笑,而你的笑话他们也听不出梗在哪里,对吧?
Its kind of all over the place, so when you start talking about jokes across culture and language, and you're talking about 14 hundred years ago.
这种现象到处都有,所以当你开始谈论跨文化和跨语言的玩笑时,而你恰巧又是谈论的一千四百年前的玩笑……
Obviously, there's a context to it, there's something that people would've found funny, that you would not find funny, but at the same time it's just the idea of how the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to joke that was so beautiful. And it starts off with his family, Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha, She tells us that if it wasn't a serious matter, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam always found a way to tell a joke about it.
很显然,这得考虑其背景。可能人们会发现一些有趣的东西,而你不觉得有趣。但与此同时,即便说起先知ﷺ如何同人开玩笑这件事,其本身也是有趣的。开玩笑要从他ﷺ的家人开始,先说阿伊莎(愿主喜悦之),她告诉我们,如果某件事本身并不是一件很严肃的事,先知ﷺ总能找到一种开玩笑的方式说出来。
#Kaana mazah han fi bayti# So first and foremost, he was a joke turned his own home, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He was pleasant in his own home, he used to joke with his family all the time Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So, he brought joy with him to the house, and that's something that is consistent with his overall demeanor at home Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
首先,他ﷺ会在家里开玩笑。他ﷺ在家里是非常开心的,因为他ﷺ总是与家人一起开玩笑。因此,他ﷺ为家人带来了欢乐,这也与他ﷺ在家中的整体言行举止相符。
And the jokes that he would tell, they were intelligent, they were truthful, and he had a goal with his jokes.
他ﷺ讲的笑话,都非常富于聪明才智,也非常真实可靠。而且他ﷺ讲笑话是有他ﷺ的目的的。
One, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would use jokes as a means of bonding with you or relating to you, so, he bonds with his family Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he bonds with the youth in the community, he bonds with the children Alaihi Salatu Wassalam or he relates to people that he otherwise could not relate to.
第一,先知ﷺ会使用玩笑的方式,来加强或增进与你之间的关系,所以他ﷺ加强了与家人的关系,加强了社区年轻人的关系,加强了与孩子们之间的关系,也增进了与其他那些他ﷺ本来很难建立关系的人们之间的关系。
So, it removes a sense of formality that perhaps allows for more authentic relationship when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam jokes with you.
因此,玩笑也会消除之间的拘束感,而同时会让彼此之间的关系更加真实。
The second thing that Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam does with his jokes is he defuses tense situations. And that's something that's part of his genius Alayhi Salatu Wassalam.
第二就是,先知ﷺ使用开玩笑的方式,缓和了紧张的局势。这也是他ﷺ天才智慧的一部分。
So, when Fatima radiAllahu Anha and Ali radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu got into an argument because that's what married couples do, they have arguments. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam comes to her house, Fatima's house and says where's Ali, She said that he's upset, he's in the masjid. The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam goes to the masjid and he find Ali radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu Sleeping in the dirt, the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam starts to dust the dirt off of him and says #qum ya aba tu raab#, Stand up O father of dirt. So he's doing that Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam to diffuse the situation right? And that's something that jokes can do.
因此,当法蒂玛(愿主喜悦之)和阿里(愿主喜悦之)发生争吵时——已婚夫妇都会做的事——发生争执时,先知ﷺ来到她的家,问阿里(愿主喜悦之)在哪里?她(愿主喜悦之)说他很沮丧,这会儿去了清真寺。 先知ﷺ来到清真寺,发现阿里(愿主喜悦之)在地上睡觉,先知ﷺ就用手把他(愿主喜悦之)身上的尘土掸掉,还念念有词地说:“站起来吧,尘土之父”。 因此,他ﷺ这样做就是缓和气氛,对吧?这就是玩笑有时能达到的效果。
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam would also use jokes to convey a concept right? That might have made you nervous before but he would do that Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam so that you could understand something more beautiful, so it's to unlock a greater beauty. So for example the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam telling the old woman, do any old women enter into paradise? And she was grieved, and then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam said, no. the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam says, no women will enter paradise elderly right?
先知ﷺ还会用笑话来传达某种概念,对吧?那样做虽然可能会使你最初感到紧张,但之后,你便可以了解到更有趣的东西,可以说这是一种将优美之花释放的过程。例如,先知ﷺ告诉一个老妇人的话,(当时老妇人问)老妇人们是否可以进入天堂?当时她很悲伤,先知ﷺ却说,“不行”,但先知ﷺ接着又说到,进入天堂的女性都不再以老妇人的形象示人了啊,对吧。
Because everyone enter paradise youthful, so the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam was making her feel better, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam was doing a way with her anxiety and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam was really conveying a greater beauty.
因为每个人进入天堂时,都会变成年轻人的形象。所以先知ﷺ的玩笑使她感觉好多了,先知ﷺ用自己的方式缓解了她的焦虑,而先知ﷺ也确实在传达着一种更优美的概念。
The fourth thing is He salaallahu alaihi wa ssalaam would show you that he was paying attention to you right? And it means something when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam is jokes with you right? And so most of his jokes were actually with the downtrodden, Most of his jokes were actually with those that were
overlooked and most of those jokes were with people that others would not even have conversations with right?
第四件事是他ﷺ会告诉你,他ﷺ在关注着你,对吧? 当先知ﷺ跟你开玩笑,这意味着什么呢? 他ﷺ的大多数玩笑实际上都开在了底层群众身上,他ﷺ的大多数玩笑实际开在了那些被忽视的人群身上,而且大多数的那些玩笑都是开在那些鲜有人同他们讲话的那些人身上。
so you find with Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, For example, Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu who was a young man who did not have the best appearance, who did not have a tribe, who did not have anyone to really uplift him in that society, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam would always joke with Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, so he'd make sure to point out Zahir in the gathering and he'd tell a joke with Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, he'd inflate the importance of Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu and one time the Prohpet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam even goes to the marketplace and in this beautiful story the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam he grabs Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu and he starts to scream, #man yash tari haadil abt#! #man yash tari haadil abt#! #man yash tari haadil abt#! who's going to buy this one from me, who's going to buy the slave, who's going to the slave?
所以你会找到扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之)(的例子)。例如,扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之)是一个年轻人,其貌不扬,没有部落背景,在当时的社会中他没有任何人可以依靠,因此先知ﷺ总是会开扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之)的玩笑,所以他ﷺ会在小圈子围坐时指向扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之),他ﷺ会开扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之)的玩笑,他ﷺ还会夸大扎黑尔的重要性。有一次,先知ﷺ进入市场——在这个美丽的故事中——先知ﷺ(从背后)抓住了扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之),开始大叫 ,有谁要从我这里购买这位奴隶,有谁要从我这里购买这位奴隶,有谁要从我这里购买这位奴隶。
And Zahir radiAllahu Anhu did not know that it was the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam behind him. So he said that when I knew it was the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam, I didn't fight back so I could get the baraka of his closeness Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam. So I just submitted myself to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam carrying me, and holding me, and laughing with me and then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam as he was doing that Zahir was so down on himself that Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu said "ya Rasulillah, who would wanna buy me anyway? Even if I was a slave for sale, who would wanna buy me? Who would want me anyway?"
起初,扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之)不知道他ﷺ身后的人是先知。 所以他(愿主喜悦之)说,当我知道是先知ﷺ时,我没有反抗,以便我在靠近他ﷺ时获得更多的吉庆。 因此,我只是把自己交给先知ﷺ,他ﷺ举着我,抱着我,和我一起大笑。然而当先知ﷺ这样做时,扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之)对自己感到很沮丧,便问说:“真主的使者ﷺ啊,谁想买我呢?即使我是一个待售的奴隶,又有谁愿意买我呢?谁愿意要我呢?”
And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam turns Zahir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu around and he looks at him and he says, #wa la kinaka andillahi ghal#, you are priceless in the sight of Allah, subhana wa'ta ala, who do you think you are, right? You're an amazing person, you are priceless in the sight of Allah,
先知ﷺ把扎黑尔(愿主喜悦之)转过来,看着他,并说,在清绝高绝的真主的眼里,你是无价之宝呢。你认为自己是谁? 你是一个了不起的人,在真主眼中你是无价的。
so his jokes were with the the downtrodden, Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam his jokes showed you that he was paying attention Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam and he was establishing a relationship with you at such an intimate level, even if others were not even having conversations with you
所以他ﷺ与那些低层群众在一起开玩笑,他ﷺ的玩笑向你表明他ﷺ正在关注着你,并且他ﷺ正在与你建立某种亲密级别的关系,即使别人没有和你交谈过。
so it's really important for us to appreciate for a moment.you know, when you look at the rules like the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam does not allow people to joke in way that mocks others. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam does not allow you to joke in a way that frightens others, so he wouldn't let you take someone's belongings and scare them, he wouldn't let you jump out at someoneSallallahu Alaihi Wassalam he prohibited all of those things.
因此,我们要(为他ﷺ的这种做法)感激一会儿,这很重要。你知道的,当你回顾一下,诸如先知ﷺ制定的一些开玩笑的规则时(尤其如此):先知ﷺ不准开玩笑嘲笑他人。先知ﷺ禁止吓唬他人而取笑,因此他ﷺ不准先拿走某人的财产并吓唬他们,他ﷺ也禁止人们(躲藏在某处)突然出现。他ﷺ禁止所有类似的玩笑。
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam would actually tell jokes that would honor people instead of humiliate them. And in that process, he was building greater bonds instead of offending people. And making a more cohesive community where you felt connected first and foremost to him Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam.
先知ﷺ实际上会开的一些玩笑,多数是夸赞他人而不是侮辱他人的。 在此过程中,他ﷺ加强了与人们之间的关系,而不是冒犯别人。(通过这种方式)他ﷺ正在建立一个更具凝聚力的社群,这个社群中人们感觉彼此紧密,同他ﷺ的关系也更紧密了。
