00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			May Allah bless him, inshallah, a lecture.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			So those who would like to stick around
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			for the talk, you're very, very welcome, inshallah,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			to do so.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			يَرُوِي الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ فِي مُسْنَدِهِ بِسَنَدٍ صَحِيحٍ عَنِ
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			مُعَادِ بِنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			النَّبِيُّ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهُ سَلَمًا The Hadith
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			in the collection of Imam Ahmad narrated to
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			us by Mu'adh ibn Jabal with the
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			authentic chain narration.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			This hadith I narrated two weeks ago, but
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			it didn't get broadcasted, it didn't get recorded.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			And I'm trying to put together a playlist
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			that talks about one topic.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			I know this may sound futile to you,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			but for the purpose of teaching the youth
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			in certain courses, I like to have playlists
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			of a hadith that talk about a specific
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			topic and get kids to memorize them and
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			to work on them.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			So I'm narrating this hadith again, so if
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			you heard it two weeks ago, don't mind
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			me if it's repetitive for you.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			But it's a very nice hadith, it's very
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			interesting, and I really do enjoy narrating it,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and hopefully those of you who heard it
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			once will benefit from hearing it again.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			يَقُولُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَاةُ وَسَلَامًا أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:59
			أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْفَاقِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:28
			مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا أَع نَاقَهُمْ
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:35
			وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ and they strike them and they
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			strike you and obviously this sentence on its
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			own is extremely intriguing because what on earth
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			could be so like what is it?
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			what on earth is better than all of
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			these things put together or even one of
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			them or any of these phrases that he
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			used if he just used that phrase the
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			question would still be very intriguing and you'd
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			want to hear the answer but he clumped
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			up almost everything عليه الصلاة والسلام so the
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			sahaba answered obviously قَالُوا بَلَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			yes please tell us فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامِ
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ the remembrance of Allah
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			subhanahu wa ta'ala himself, the mentioning of
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			Allah to speak of Allah, to think of
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Allah, to talk to others about Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			wa ta'ala, to teach about Him just
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			for Allah's name to come out in conversation
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			through praise or through exaltation or through love,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			in any form what we're doing right now
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			qualifies actually is probably one of the most
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			the highest qualifying one when there's a dars
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			and people are listening that's the best way
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			to remember and speak of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			ta'ala but when you think about it,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			how is it that the Prophet عليه الصلاة
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			والسلام said this one deed is the best
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			of your deeds, it's the highest ranking Allah
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			loves it the most, it's better than giving
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			your wealth, what do you mean it's better
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			than giving my wealth I don't have to
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			give wealth I can just sit there and
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			do tasbih and no need to give my
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			wealth if jihad is needed, I don't need
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			to go and stand my ground, I can
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			just sit there and do tasbih no, no,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			no, we know that's not the case we
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			know that in some moments you are obligated
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			to give your wealth and if you don't,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			you're held accountable and if you said well
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			I was doing dhikr instead then that's not
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			going to fly, it's not going to work
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			for you it's not going to suffice and
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			if you're needed on the battlefield to stand
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			your ground and defend and you say well
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			I was in the masjid doing dhikr that's
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			not going to suffice so what does he
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			mean by this, عليه الصلاة والسلام he means,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			what he's trying to say عليه الصلاة والسلام
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			is that the essence of all of these
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			deeds is dhikr Allah عز و جل if
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			you rip it out, none of these things
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			matter anymore so he's trying to talk about
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			the essence عليه الصلاة والسلام it's best because
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			it's really what they're for و أقيم الصلاة
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			لذكر you pray because you're trying to achieve
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			dhikr why did Allah send the prophets so
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			that they can و نذكرك كثيرا so you
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			follow around this concept in the Quran you
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			find it's the purpose of why you do
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			things if you give your wealth but you
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			did not, when you gave your wealth you
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			weren't thinking of Allah at all, you didn't
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			care it wasn't a part of your equation
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			whatsoever like you're pleasing Allah or doing it
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			for the sake of Allah or saying your
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			wealth to be belonging to Allah and you're
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			giving it to others because that pleases Allah
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			and because it's not your wealth to begin
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			with if that's not there, then what really
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			is the benefit of this if you're standing
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			on the battlefield and you're fighting your enemy
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			and there's no concept of doing this for
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			the sake of Allah, understanding that Allah سبحانه
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			وتعالى commands you to fight for justice and
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			to defend the oppressed then what exactly, there's
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			nothing left the action becomes mechanical and it's
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			a skeleton of what it once was it
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			doesn't mean anything so what the prophet in
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			a beautiful way is trying to tell us
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			is that this is what you have make
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			sure you have this it's the most important
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			of everything it's what Allah loves the most,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			it's what's very pure it's what elevates your
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			ranks it's better than all these other stuff
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			because it's the essence of all these other
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			stuff it's the essence of it Allah سبحانه
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			وتعالى does not need my wealth doesn't need
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			my bravery doesn't need me in any way
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			but he's interested in what's happening inside my
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00
			heart he's interested in what I think and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			what I feel and what I say about
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			him سبحانه وتعالى there's a relationship I was
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			given this opportunity to prove myself I was
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			given this opportunity to live a life where
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			he shows me love and I figure out
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			how to show him love back سبحانه وتعالى
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			so if I give the wealth but he's
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			not in my heart and I stand on
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			the ground and he's not in my heart
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			and I pray and he's not in my
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			heart then he's not there's no point system
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			here he's not getting stronger سبحانه وتعالى because
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			you're praying or weaker if you don't it
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			doesn't affect him at all سبحانه وتعالى if
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			you're missing the point of it all then
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			you're in trouble, we're all in trouble if
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			we're missing the point, we're in trouble which
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			is why he said this I think it's
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			very meaningful ...
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			...
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			...
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			...
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			...
