Shaykh Zahir's zero second Adab Class

At a program this weekend, Sh Zahir was scheduled for a class on "Adab". However due to circumstances he could not hold the class in the morning and instead had a class in the afternoon. So anyways, at the start of his afternoon class, he said, that even though the class this morning was canceled, there was an adab class that happened in his absentia. . He said that when he did not show up in the morning we should have been:

1. Patient.
   
2. Assume only the good about the Shaykh in his absence.
3. All of us should have made dua for his health/safety/etc.

And all said and done, he said, now that he had showed up and we know that he is okay: we learned that: collective duas are answered! He said thats the best adab class you'll get. :-)

Alhamdulillah he did go on to cover a part of Imam Haddad's "Good Manners" text :) in the afternoon.

May Allah SWT preserve our Shuyukh! ( and their good humor!)
