He
One of the scholars
of the Jewish tribes that existed in Medina
and when the prophet of alaihi sallallahu alaihi
wasallam came to Medina, what he wanted to
do with his son is to go and
assess. He was a man of knowledge. He
was a man of truth and righteousness
and he was not judging the Prophet alaihis
salatu before he met him nor was he
making any He didn't have
He didn't make up his mind before he
met him. So he came up with what
questions he wanted to ask
and what exams or trials he wanted to
put through Prophet alaihis salam through to assess
if he is telling the truth or not.
And he spent an amount, a fair amount
of time with his son preparing what that
was going to look like. I I mean
what they're how they were going to do
this and who's gonna ask what and who's
gonna say what. And they spent all night
and they enacted fajr.
They
they were prepared. So they went to the
prophet alayhi salatu alayhi salatu alayhi salatu alayhi
salatu alayhi salatu alayhi salatu alayhi salam's home
and they knocked on the door that's where
this hadith comes in place. So this is
why he said radiAllahu anhuqa'ala.
Awala Maqadeem Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Al Madina
Tan Jafalal Nasu ilayhi fakuntufimanja'a.
At the beginning when the prophet alaihis salam
what are you saying? He said, at the
beginning when the prophet alaihis salam came to
Madinah, in Jafar alaihis salam, meaning people went
to him in abundance. There's a lot of
people who are going knocking to get to
know him and to see him and to
hear from him and to learn from him,
and I was amongst those who went to
meet him.
When I came to him and he opened
the door,
So once you opened the door, I looked
at his face
and I meaning I I stared for a
moment
awkwardly. Like, I just stared at him for
a moment,
and then I knew that that's not the
face of a liar.
This happened and he said,
His son his son is standing there with
papers. They've been up all night.
The questions
the question what about
this is not the face of a liar.
Have you ever performed dawah with your face?
Yeah.
I'm asking you to perform dawah. Go talk
to someone you know. Bring them to the
masjid. Are you able to perform dawah with
your face?
This man came with questions. He needed to
he want to objectively
figure out if what he was saying is
the truth and he wanted to go through
a certain degree of things that he had
read and he looks at his face alayhi
salatu wa sallam. He just looks at his
face and khalas.
This is not the face of someone who
would lie Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. What did he
see?
What did he see? We can't see his
face alayhi salatu wa sallam but we can
see the face of Abdullah ibn Salam as
he stares at him, right?
Sometimes that's all you can do. Sometimes you
can't see his Yeah. I mean, it's hard
to see him alaikis. But imagine Abdullah ibn
Salam.
Imagine his face and the door opens and
he looks up
and and all of all of his equations
don't matter anymore.
It just all of it drops. Like, he
doesn't
the scenario he was running, the the back
and forth, all of it, he just he
looks up and he sees
That is this is him. It's him. It's
him. I I don't need I don't need
anymore.
Maqasaqalbi
yomen.
Illa wadhahabtu.
Wanabortu ilawajee Muhammad ibn Wasir. He said, whenever
my heart was hard, I just went and
knocked on the door of Muhammad ibn Wasir.
He's one of the one of the known
scholars of the Tabi'ayn.
Whenever the teach His teacher said, whenever I
felt my heart was in his position where
it wasn't, I just went and knocked on
the door of Muhammad ibn Wasi. I just
looked at his face and said, khalasa, I
feel better and he goes home.
I come to the point where people like
where you have enough nur in your heart
that it shines on your through your face.
And the dawah that you need to do
is much is minimal. You don't have to
give we have to talk a lot. I
have to because I did nothing. I have
to talk and explain and give you examples
and play things around so it makes sense
to you.
It's 3 or 4 words because really you
didn't need much. You just needed to sit
there and be in his presence. Look at
his face, Alayhi Salatu Wasallam. He says 2
words, you're good. Khalaf, you're good. SallAllahu Alaihi
Wasallam. I love this story because
methodologically, systematically learn knowledge, but how do you
get this? How do you get this one?
I don't know how. That's just something Allah
that's just him sallallahu alaihi wa sallam almeshma'am.
Allah grant us his shafa'ayum al Khiyim inshaAllah
and his love in dunya and akhirah.
