00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			And I hope that you enjoyed.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			And I ask all our
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			good deeds and fasting, prayers, and charity, and
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			everything.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			And to reward us fully
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			for these good deeds according to the best
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			of
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Okay. This is a common mistake.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			And, most people make this mistake because the
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			number of ahadith here quoted. He narrated more
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			than 5,300
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			ahadith, more than any other Sahaba.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			The second one in the list of Sahaba
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			who narrated most Hadith is Abu Lahun Amba.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			He narrated,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			2,600.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			Then Abu Lahun Abbas around 2,600.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			So my first encounter with Abu Raitan
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			was
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			when I was 9 years old. I used
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			to go to Allah's heart.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			So my teacher told me that you need
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			to, to do what
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			the, Lohai is what Roshan is.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			It's like a poster it's like a poster
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			to put on a classroom. So I made
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			that hadith narrated by Abu Raya, then in
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			the footnote in that poster,
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			I made a portrait of Abu Raya, a
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			man with a long beard, a turban, a
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			sword, and a cap on his hand. Because
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			the reason Abu Raya got this name
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			Abu Raya is not his name. His name
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			was Abu
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			The reason he got the name Abu Ryla
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			was because he used to have a little
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			cat kitten when he,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			a little kitten and he used to feed
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			it and and play with it. So the
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			Sahaba called him Abu Ryla, literally the owner
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			of the little cat or kitten.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			So this is where he got his name.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			So I made this portrait, and I went
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			to the school,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			in the morning. I was dancing in the
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			street happy that the teacher will, will be
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			happy with me and to the contrary. He
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			gave me a hard time. And he said,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			you idiot. We don't make pictures of the
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			Sahaba.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			I told him I didn't know. I didn't
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			know.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:46
			So
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			from that day on, I realized that we
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			are not allowed to make pictures or depict
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			the Sahaba.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			You probably have heard of a Hassan al
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			Qasay series in in Ramadan,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			and most of the scholars say we are
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			not allowed to make pictures of the Sahaba
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			because usually,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			what you remember from the movie or the
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			series is the actor himself, not the Sahaba.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			So every time
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			I think of Hamza, ibn Abdul Muttalib, the
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			Allahu Anhu, I remember Anthony Quinn.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			I don't remember Hamza anymore.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			And the other thing is most of the
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			time, the actors will play the role of
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			the Sahaba
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			are not the best,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			morally and ethically.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			Some of them are drunkards. They are known
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:27
			for,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			their adventures and stuff. So why would you
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			associate the Sahaba, the finest and the best
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			human beings that have ever walked the face
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:36
			of this earth
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			with some guys who are not, you know,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			the the best to say the least. Okay?
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			So the scholars said you cannot
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			show the family of the prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			wa sallam in movies,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			and the Sahaba will get the news of
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			gender,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			the 10. But this also, by the way
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			of analogy, includes all the Sahaba who died
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			as believers. Because the Quran says that all
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			the companions, the Muhajirun,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			from Makkah and the Asaf from Adina, Allah
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			is pleased with them,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			and he promises them Jannah. So technically,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			all the Sahaba of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			wa sallam, God then used of Jannah while
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			they were living with the prophet, so we
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			shouldn't limit it only to the 10.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			So
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			this is the ruling in this case.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			Also, and of course,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			most importantly, the family of the.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			We cannot show his wives or his children
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			or his
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			cousin and so on and so forth.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			So the reason why Abu Huraira
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			reported all these ahadith
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			was because of his dedication
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			to learning from the prophet
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			So Abu Hayr said that the Sahaba from
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			Makkah used to do business
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			most of the time,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			and the people from Madinah, the Muhajb, the
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			Ansar, they dedicated most of their time to,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			cultivating land and their farms, so they didn't
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			have time
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			to learn from the Prophet
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			as much as I did.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			The other reason was we were saying that
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			technically, Abubayar was rich. He was not poor.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			Before Islam, he was a servant of a
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			lady from Makna.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			Bussa bintu Asma, she was a rich lady,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			and he was her servant.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			He used to clean the house for her,
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			cook for her, go with him when they
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			travel to tend to the animals, and so
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			on and so forth.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			And after Islam, Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, honored
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			him, and the lady married him. So technically,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			he got all her money. He became rich,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			but
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			he didn't enjoy that money. He dedicated most
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			of his money to Fisabilelah,
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			and he joined the prophet, and he stayed
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			in the Masjid to learn from the prophet,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			and this is the
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			reason, why he narrated most of the hadith,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			because he dedicated most of his time to
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			learning from the prophet, That's
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			all you need to learn something.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			All you need is time
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			and dedication.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			If you want to learn anything, you have
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			to have these 2,
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			time and dedication.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			Time and dedication.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			Stayed in the Masjid for a long time,
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			and most of the time he was hungry.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			So one day he said, I felt
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			starving, and I was about to die.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			So much so that I tied a stone
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			to my stomach, so I wouldn't feel the
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			pains of hunger.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			So he went he said, I went out.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			I would pretend like I wanna ask one
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			of the Sahaba a question in 5th or
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			Quran or whatever.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			So they would see my miserable condition, they
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			would invite me to their house. So he
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			said, I met Abu Bakr, then I met
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			Omar. I asked them the question, although I
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			knew the answer of the question better than
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			Abu Bakr and
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			but they didn't understand my intention so they
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			just gave me the answer and they ran
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			away. Then the Prophet SAW Salam came and
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			he said, Okay, I know what you what
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			you want, Follow
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			me. So he took him to his house
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			and he said, sit
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			here. Then the prophet
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:31
			brought
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			a container with milk,
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			and he said, somebody,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:39
			gave this to me as a gift, the
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:39
			milk.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			Because he said, I thought that the Prophet
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			will give me to drink, now he's asking
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			me to go and invite the people in
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			the Masjid. And this is more contagious, it's
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			not gonna,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			suffice or be sufficient for these people.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			But eventually,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			he gave up, he went and invited them,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			and the prophet told him to give them
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			to drink.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			And every time the container was it became
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			empty, it was filled up automatically.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			And that was one of the miracles of
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			the prophet, the food was multiplied
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			by the Barakah of the prophet,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			At the end, when the people dragged to
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:35
			their fullest,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			the prophet SAW Salam gave up a bunch
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			to Jacob,
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			and he started to drink and drink and
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			drink. And every time they, container or the
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			bowl was empty, it it was full again.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			And until Abu Bulaia said, I was literally
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			I was about to explode.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			My stomach was about to explode, and I
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			said, oh, prophet of Allah, I can't drink
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			anymore. And the prophet of Allah kept saying,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			drink, drink, drink.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			And until he said, okay, Prophet of Allah,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			I don't find a space in my stomach
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			for this. I'm about to explode, literally. So
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			the Prophet SAW
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			said, smiled and he took the container and
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			he started to, drink.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			The last thing we miss him for today,
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			although Abu Ghayla was one of the last
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			people to accept Islam in the time of
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			the prophet,
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			he stay with him only for 3 years,
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:25
			he narrated a hadith more than anyone else
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			in the Sahaba,
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			and the same is true for us in
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			our time. If someone is not practicing,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			if someone is 60 or 70 years old
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			in Islam, but they're not practicing,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			they have spent all their life in sin.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			It is never too late. You always have
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			the time to repent and come back to
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			and you can do more than than the
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			people who have been Muslim all their lives.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			You can do more than them. The door
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			is always open. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			gives you a gift in the Quran. Surat
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			Al Furqan,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			chapter 25,
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			So Allah
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			gives you a gift in the Quran.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			If you return back to Allah
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			regardless of your sins,
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			regardless of the how many years you have
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			been sinning,
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			Allah
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			says, as long as you come back to
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			me
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			repentance and ask for forgiveness, Allah
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			will forgive you and turn you all your
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:45
			evil sins since the past sins that you
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			have committed into good deeds. And Allah is
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			the most forgiving and the most,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			merciful.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			It is never too late. The door is
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			always open
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			and the deadline for accepting the,
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01
			repentance of a servant is when the person
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			is about to give up his soul.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:03
			The
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			prophet
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			says, the person's,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			for asking for forgiveness or turning back to
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			Allah
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:18
			asking for forgiveness, will always be accepted as
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			long as the person is not dying.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			But because if if someone is dying, and
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			now they are saying, oh Allah forgive me,
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			it is too late. You have lived 50
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			or 60 or 30 or 70 years. Now,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			when you are giving up your last breath,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			you're asking for forgiveness,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			it is not accepted.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			But any time before, it will be accepted.
