Are You Too Sensitive?

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Sheikh Omar Suleiman explores a profound hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ describes four qualities of a person whom the Fire is forbidden from touching — *qareeb*, *hayyin*, *layyin*, and *sahlan* — before diving deep into a fifth and even more elevated quality: *samhan*, the art of overlooking. He distinguishes between forgiving an obvious wrong and the even higher virtue of not even engaging with things that may never have been wrongs in the first place, challenging listeners to examine whether their sensitivity is driven by a big ego or a big heart.
