00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			Never did the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam or
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			was he ever asked of something in an
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			Islam and he ever said no.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			One time a man came to the prophet
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			He gave him the livestock, the sheep that
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			were between 2 mountains.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			So he went back to his people and
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			he told all his, you know, because he
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			was like a tribe leader. So he told
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			all of those
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			who were under his responsibility,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			you
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			know, embrace Allah Islam for indeed Muhammad he
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			gives
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			like a man who doesn't fear any poverty,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			any bankruptcy.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			You know, a story that Sheikh Abdul Razaq
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Al Badr, he mentioned in the Haram
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			a couple of weeks ago.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			He says, you know, from what we can
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			derive from this is,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			if you know a person, for example, who
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			has some sort of mekana,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			he has a status
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			or he has, you know,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			he's someone that people listen to,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			and he has a high position in his
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:11
			community.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			And this person is not a Muslim or
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			he's a person, he's an innovator.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			Sometimes,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			you know, gave a lot of concern
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			trying to guide this individual
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			based upon this hadith, he should do so.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			Why? Because if he becomes guided and everyone
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			else
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			from those who blind follow him, from his
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			followers,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			could easily become rightly guiding as well.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			And he mentioned a story of one of
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			those that he knows from the
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			where there was a city, there was this,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			you know, a city like a. There was
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			a village
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			was from the villages of where there was
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			so much bida and shirk,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			and no one from the people of the
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			Sunnah could get inside
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			and give Dawah in there
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			because obviously they,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			tarnished the image of the people of the
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			sunnah.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			So what this man done was
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			he specifically tried to go to
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			the tribe leader just before one of the
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:09
			salawat
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			just before one of the salawat
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			with, you know, a very big amount of
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			wealth. And he realized he was told that,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			you know, this individual is kind of going
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			through some,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			financial difficulties at this moment in time.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			So as he opened the door, he started
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			speaking to him. He gave him all this
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			wealth because I heard that he was, you
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			know, suffering
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			financially. I'm here to help you.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			And as they are walking to the masjid,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			he says to him, is it okay that
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			I can give you know a small speech
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			about the salat?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			So as they finish the salat,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			this man of the village he picks up
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			the mic
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			and he starts giving her a muqaddimah
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			like no other.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			This man he came to me, he done
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			this to me, he was such a great
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			person, he's x y and zed, he's righteous,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			we should all stay behind and listen to
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			him.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			And as we mentioned before, this is a
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			city or village
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			that the people of Sunnah couldn't get inside.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			And he basically handed over the village to
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			him to give Dawah to them. And Allah
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			of Khair came out of that,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			you know, So this is how the Prophet
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam was.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			Sometimes if he
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			knew, that a person had influence over his
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			community, he might give them a lot of
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			time.
