And what we can learn from them, this
is part number 5.
We said in the last time that the
Sahaba of the prophet, they made a lot
of sacrifices
in terms of their
families, in terms of their money, and so
on and so forth.
They traveled long distances. Some of them traveled
1,000 of miles,
and they did everything they could to deliver
the message to us and they say few
way that it was revealed to the prophet,
sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
So in view of the
sacrifice that the Sahaba of one of my
made
throughout the life to deliver the message to
us,
when I look sometimes at some of Muslims,
I'm not saying that all of them, but
I feel ashamed that some Muslims,
they know what they should do, but they
pretend like they don't know anything.
Look, for example, in how many Muslims don't
pray don't pray on time.
And I was saying that in Edmonton, this
is one of the interesting things about Edmonton
that in 12 hours in the winter, there
are 5 salawat, 5 prayers, and in the
other 20:12
hours, there is no no prayers.
So Fashj Adhan is what? 6:30 in the
morning, Aisha Adhan is 6:30. So you have
12 hours between Aisha and Fashj,
And some people, they don't have anything to
do at that time
other than, playing cards, watching movies, and video
games, but still they don't pray Fajr on
time.
Of course, they finish,
playing or,
playing, like, 5 minutes before Fajr,
So if you look at the conditions of
the Sahaba,
and it was things were verified for for
them.
Of course, they didn't have electricity, they didn't
have the Internet. Things were very tight for
them. They were surrounded by enemies all the
time. They spent most of their time defending
the Binah and defending Islam. But if you
look at our times,
Allah, we are safe, we are secure,
you have internet,
you have air conditioning,
you have cars, you have computers, you have
everything.
But some of us are even lazy
to seek knowledge. Some of us, they still
make mistakes in mudu and salaam.
We have some encyclopedias
that you can install in your computer, you
can put in it, thousands of books.
And I'm confident
that most of the information or some of
the information that we have today was not
available to some of the Sahaba because
many of the Sahaba, they met the prophet
only one time in their lifetime.
They came, they took shahada, they learned something,
then they left probably the same day or
the next morning. So,
you know, they didn't have all the information
that we have today, but still some of
us are lazy.
The more advanced we become, it seems the
more lazy we we become.
So what we need to learn from the
stories of the Sahaba. I'm not telling you
these stories for entertainment
or for fun or to, crack jokes,
but to learn from them.
And the best way to learn from the
Sahaba is to take one of the Sahaba
as an example for you. If for example,
one of the Sahaba
used to love the province
and follow this example in every way, okay,
and take this Sahabi as an example.
If one of the Sahaba was generous, okay,
I take off Mani Mahfana, the love of
Anhu, as an example for generosity, and I
follow his example. Some of the Sahabi were
just, so I follow their example in justice.
So
for with regard to the first one, loving
the prophet
and following his example in every way, one
of the Sahaba came to the prophet
as reported in the Hadith of anti Semitic
and Bukhaya Muslim and said, O Prophet of
God, what time is the final hour? What
day will the day of judgment begin? What
time? So the prophet SAW Salam said, what
have you prepared for the day of judgment?
So the prophet, salam, responded to the question
with a question. So the man said, I
haven't prepared a lot, but the only thing
I have with me is
I do love Allah and I love the
prophet, salam.
So the prophet, SAW, said, you will be
with the ones you loved.
So Anas ibn Malik said,
well, I have never been happy with happier
with anything, the prophet, SAW, than this hadith,
than what he said to the man.
And I witnessed that I love Allah, and
I love the prophet, salaam, and I love
Abu Bakr and Umar, and I would love
to be with them
in as as reported in this authentic
So for example and this is a very
small example, and I finish inshallah with this.
Cleaning the masjid,
collecting small things in the masjid that some
people may drop by mistake. And I remember
one time one of the brothers came to
me
and and said that he came to pray
in the masjid and somebody had trimmed his,
fingernails and threw them in the masjid. They
were all over the place. So the brother
started to collect them.
So this lady, a black lady at the
time of the Quran, she used to collect
the fine particles,
items from the masjid, qimama,
like small things. From the masjid, she used
to put them outside to keep the masjid
clean.
So one day, the prophet
didn't see her in the masjid, and he
said, where is the black lady who used
to come and clean the mesh? And this
hadith is Sahid Muslim narrated by Abu Ghayim.
Then the Sahaba said, okay. She passed
a few nights ago, and we didn't want
to disturb you because it was late at
night.
And the Sahaba according to this hadith,
saw that it was not something important
that important to wake the prophet that
late at night to tell him about
disturbing. So the prophet
said, you should have told me.
These graves are filled with darkness and Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala puts light in them
for my prayers for these people. Then the
prophet
went to her grave that he made salah
or dua for her.
InshaAllah, we'll continue next time.
