Buchare, you a Muslim? Could Have
you saw Hey, I said. And then Abu Asmaa call Ali Ali, the haritonai
collection of both Imam buchare and Muslim, and it is read to us
by sahali bin Saad, and he tells us what the prophet Ali Islam told
Sayyidina Ali one day, and the theme is outreach and Dawa,
and I'll narrating a number of Hadith over the next week or so or
more. And this is the cornerstone Hadith, or one of the strongest
and one of the shortest and easiest to remember, and probably
the one that has the most impact on this concept. And I nafeed Over
the last couple of nights, and I left it for today, just to kind of
build build up towards it. And so he said, ala ya saw some kala. And
he told this, Ali Kala and yahadi, Allahu, bika, rajulan, wa hidden,
haul min Hari, Naam. But he said, ala ya saw any Hadi Allah, if
Allah was to guide through you, one person,
one person. He used the term Wahid and alaihi salatu. He said one
just to make it if Allah was to guide through you. And he uses
that term yahadi abuka, because you, we don't guide, I don't
guide, and neither do you. We encourage we.
And he
put on a good, good form of role modeling. We inspire, we teach,
but we don't guide. Guide isn't something that comes from Allah
subhanahu wa but he guides Subhana wa Taala through people. A lot of
what he does Subhana wa Taala happens through people. A lot of
what you receive in your life, whether it's provision or any
knowledge you don't it doesn't just drop from the sky. Happens
through people. It's coming from Allah, subhanaw taala, it was
happening through people. And guidance is the same.
But he's telling Sayyidina Ali is if Allah guides someone through
you, just one person through you, it's better for you thanhammer and
Nam is a it's a word that the Arab used to describe the best of dunya
the most, the most, and the best of it and Nam is from Anam, which
is livestock. And helmur and naam are livestock that have a reddish
color to them, and they were seen as the most valuable, like the
most expensive of them all, because they were beautiful to
look at. So it's like being so he's telling you it's better than
all the riches of the world that you live in. It's better if Allah
guides one person through you. It's better than all the riches in
the world. If you're if you have to choose between ya rab, give me
all the money in the world, versus you use me. It's certain that you
guided Quran through me. It's certain, it's verified that if
Quran was guided through me, then that's better. It's way better.
It's way better than being given all of the riches of the world,
even though you may take those riches and use them in great ways
and spend them, but you never know as you do that whether it's
certain that when you used all these riches, that they actually
works, that Allah actually verified for you that, yes, I
accept these riches that you spent in sadaqah, if he can, if one
person is in a verifiable manner, guided through you, it's better
than all the riches in the world.
Just to be guided like you have to think of things that way. Though
like this requires a mindset where, ya rab, you're gonna guide
people. You're gonna guide people. Ya rab, of course, may it be
through me. Ya rab, make it through me. Don't put me aside and
guide them through others. No, no. Use me. Keep me as the tool that
is you're going to use for that, because he can easily put you
aside and guide through other people. They can guide his he can
guide those who deserve to be guided and whom he wants to guide
through others. And then you're standing alone, and it's not
happening through you anymore. You're not getting anything. It's
the value of guidance happening through you that Allah subhanahu
choses you to send guidance through you. It's a very valuable
thing, and you spend the rest of your life. You can understand this
hadith, the rest of your the rest of your life, just ya rab. Never
substitute me, never put me on the bench. Just keep me. Keep me as
the tool that you'll use to guide people. And you're so grateful
that Allah is using you to guide, guide people that you want nothing
else. Because what else would you want? If every person that Allah
guides through you is better for you than all the riches in the
world, then on a daily basis, you are making more money than you
could ever imagine in your life. Anyways, so what else do you want?
It's all an issue of mindset and perspective, and that's what he
told said nali. You know what he told Sayyidina? Undo this. You
know what he told him?
Anyone know
what did he tell him this alias he was going towards.
He was carrying the he was carrying it, and he was marching
towards khabar to fight. He told him, by the way, if Allah guides
one person through you, it's better than whatever riches you
may think exist behind the walls of that castle over there, because
once you get through.
Castle, the riches the Muslims were hungry, they would eat
because of the riches that existed behind the walls of that castle. A
lot of them like, let's get through these * walls so we
can have food and not be cold at night. So he tells them, the
guidance of one person is better than whatever happens if you go
through war and get all the riches on the other side. And that's when
he chose to teach him and desaratos and I find that to be
absolutely magnificent and worthy of magnificent and worthy of
reflection. I hope that was beneficial to you. Yay. Hadith
beside and then Abu Asmaa, Ali Lani, Hadi
Allah.
