00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			The Hadith in a collection, Imam Malik in
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			his murtah. It's a very it's very rare
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			that you find a hadith that's only in
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			the murtah or
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			it's well known within that book and it
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			has an authentic generation.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			It's a nice story within the topic of
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			issues of marriage
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			that we are covering.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Fauthi ibn Qais
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			a very
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			noble
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and well known Qurayshi lady.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			She was she was someone of great, great
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			nobility, great background and she was very intelligent
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			and very well educated.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			When my husband Abu Amur ibn Hafs my
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			ex husband divorced me,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			meaning he divorced me,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			meaning there was no going back was over.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			Meaning I went through my 'idha and it
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			was over.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			I went to the Prophet and I told
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:23
			him something.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			There are 2 people who asked for my
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			hand in marriage. Abu Jahan, ibn Hisham
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			and Abu Jahan. Not Abu Jahan. Abu Jahan.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			One of the Sahabi just people looked at
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			me funny. Abu Jahan, right? One of the
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			known He's an Ansari Sahabi and Waawiy ibn
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			Abi Sufyan, the known Sahabi.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Now, the hadith is not What I'm gonna
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			say right now is not what I narrate
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			the hadith for, but I'm gonna just hit
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			pause here for a moment and just point
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			this out. That's how easy it was.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			See how simple what I just told you
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:54
			was?
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			She was married. She got divorced. She finished
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			her 'iddah. 2 people asked for her hand
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			in marriage. She's gonna marry one of them.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			That's how simple it was. Very simple. Marriage
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			was easy, it was quick.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			For a lot of reasons, but for sure
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			Talaq meaning someone being divorced was not a
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			stain of shame that would ruin your life
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			till the end of time. And the ruin
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			of life of your children and all those
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			who come after you until No. It was
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			something that happened. People sometimes did not get
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			along and instead of hurting each other, abusing
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			each other, and hating each other, they would
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			separate
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and they would do tulaqanaf. And the lady
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			would get married again and the man get
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			married again.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			Given polygamy was more of a thing back
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			then, so it was easier to do it.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			But still marriage occurred quicker. So Fal'l al
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Mitzkays finished her Ida and she had 2
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			people asking for a hand.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			So the prophet alaihis salatu wa salam said,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			Asfi Abu Jahan, he's a man who's very
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			strict. He carries
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			his his aswah on his and his stick
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			is on his shoulder. He's strict. He's strict
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			with everybody. You're not gonna be here. Mu'awiya
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			Saluk. Saluk is someone who is young and
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			has no like he's not stable. And Mu'awiya
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			at that point was young,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			so he was asking marriage a lady who
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			was at least a decade older than him.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			At least.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			And he was still dependent in his life
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			on the wealth of his father.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			And his father, Abu Sufyan,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			was cheap.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			He was known to be cheap. He said
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			it about himself, and his wife told him
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			about himself. Everyone saw it. He he didn't
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			he didn't get it was hard to get
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			the kush out of his hand. Hand. So
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			had not established himself yet. So, yes, he
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			had a lot of wealth because his father
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			was very wealthy and he would become very
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			wealthy. But at that point in his life,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			he had no wealth.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			He's he's walking around doing things. Why he
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			doesn't have no money? He wants to take
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			care of you.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Again, not the point of this hadith but
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			point something else. The prophet alaihis salam answered
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			very honestly.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			Very honestly alaihis salam. He didn't lie. Even
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			though he liked Abu Jahham, he liked Muawiya.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			Both of them were his companions. But he
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			didn't lie. Because when it comes to the
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			dhimma, when marriage is happening you have to
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			be honest.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			Ghiba and ninema is haram. But if someone
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			asked me about someone for marriage, I had
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			to say what I know Because there's an
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			issue of this is a big deal.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			2 families are going to be 2 people
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			are being united in a very very sacred
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			manner and people are looking for honesty. They
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			want to know what this person is like.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			They don't care about So the prophet is
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			very clear. Abu Jam, great guy. Very strict.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			Very strict. You're not gonna You're not gonna
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			You're not gonna
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			You're
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			not gonna
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			You're not gonna You may not want to.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			So even though he, you know, he loves
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			both of them, but he's not gonna lie
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			to her.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			Accept marriage of Usama bin Zayed.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			I didn't like him. I looked at Usama,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			His father
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			is Zayd ibn Haritha. The prophet alaihis salam's
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			adopted son. His mother anyone know his mother?
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			Just just for like a trivia question. Anyone
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			know whose mother is?
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			You Haram, Meshum.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			Allahi. Allahi haram. You don't know his mother?
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Wait. Usama's
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			mother.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			The prophet alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala alaihis sala's
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			nanny.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			She took care of him. He was a
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			kid. She dug the grave of his mother
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			with him.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			The great lady. Said, waja wazam, Zayd got
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			married to Zaynab. They were miserable.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			And he married Umu Aiman Barakar Habashiya. Again,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			at least a decade and a half older
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			than him. And they were very happy and
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			they had Usama. Usama. So Usama was from
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			a mixed race racial background.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			Usama was mixed race.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			His father
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			was
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			as white as that light. He was Arab
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			very very
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			She's the opposite.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			Usama was for a mixed marriage.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			A racially mixed marriage back then, a culturally
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			racially mixed marriage. He looked his he was
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			a Yani caramel. That was his color. So
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			Filipina looked at him and she didn't like
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			him. He's like I
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			didn't want to marry someone. The Qurayshi have
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			a certain lineage they didn't like.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			So he left
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			to me and marry Usama Bin Zayed. Those
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			are the guys that are not gonna be
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			getting. She'll make you happy.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put so much khair
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			in this marriage, I became
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			the
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			I mean people started to envy me over
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			that my marriage with Usama.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			The ladies around me start to feel envious
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			of my relationship with my husband when I
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			married him.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			From the book of the prophet
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			alaihis salatu wasra. Not only does he offer
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			advice immediately, that is honest, but he will
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			also
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			match make.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			He he he was matchmaking alaihis salatu wa
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			salaam. No. No. I'm not doing it. Just
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:54
			so you know.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			No. That's
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			not that's not me at all.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			He match made And it didn't always work.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			He match made
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			the father of Usaym to Zaynab.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			Like he he Zaynab been hired to marry
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			Zaynab
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			and then they got divorced. But he did
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			it alaihis salatu wa sallam.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			You know the proverb in Arabic?
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			Alright. Im shibish.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Walk in someone's desk, but don't walk in
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			their marriage. Meaning meaning,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			go to their to their funeral, but don't
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			go to their wedding. Like
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			contribute to their funeral, but don't contribute to
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			their wedding. Right? Because of how why? Because
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			we changed how marriage is seen. Because we
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			changed how marriage functions. So we made it
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			something that's a nightmare for everyone involved. It's
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			a nightmare for this for the groom, and
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			for the bride, and for their parents, and
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			for anyone who's helping them. It's just a
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			nightmare. No one has finished a wedding and
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			said, I wish we could go on. Anyone
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			who finishes the wedding is like,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			and this day is over and I hope
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			I never have to think about this day
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			ever again.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			Why? Because there's so much Because we've made
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			marriage so stressful and so It's no longer
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			something that is enjoyable by the way. Yeah,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			maybe the ladies have a good time and
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			they're dancing and whatnot and they take the
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			pictures. But really outside of that marriage is
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			no longer an enjoyable occasion. It's supposed to
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			be joyful. It's supposed to be joyful. And
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			the prophet alaihis salam was very honest because
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			because of his honesty. He was honest about
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			the people and he would suggest people to
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			others and they would get married
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			and they would be fine and they would
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			find happiness even though they're mixed. This hadith
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			has so many things to learn from. It's
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			a mixed marriage. Like he's a man who
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			comes from a background that is very rare.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			Very rare for Allah to marry. It was
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			very rare. Salama looked.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			He stood out in the way he looked.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			She didn't want but then she married and
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			she said,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			I am the happiest woman because I married
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			this man.
