The ahi tonight is the collection of Imam
Tabarani's Ausat.
You'll find
parts and pieces of this hadith in Bukhari
and Muslim and other collections as well. But
the wording
I am narrating for you is from the
Tabarani. And even Hajar has it in his
matarabil Ali and Haytham he has it in
the Imadu Abdul Maqdisi has it in his
zawad. So you find it in other collections
too. It has an authentic sheet of narration.
And the theme of of dawah is we're
going to conclude it insha'Allah by Friday, idhnat'ala.
We'll want something different afterwards.
But I have to narrate this piece.
It's one of the most,
beloved
sections of a hadith that I have.
There's a hadith there are hadith and yeah.
They're very long. Most of the really really
long ones are not authentic.
But there's maybe 15 to 20 that are
and this is this is one of them.
And the story here that Abbas is telling
us is right,
before Fatih Makkah occurred, right before Isaac was
occurring. Meaning, the prophet alaihi wasalam was camped
right outside of Makkah and the people in
Koresh obviously were in panic and they were
scared and didn't know what to do. And
they didn't. So the Abbaas told Abu Sefyan,
just come with me. Let's go fix this.
In a long story. We just have to
go fix this because you lied. You lied,
you betrayed, you murdered, you conspired. Like, you
have to go and fix this if you
if, you know, if you want to live
yourself. And Abbas was a friend to Abu
Sufyan al Sakhal Abin. How many loved him?
He didn't want him to. And Abu Sufyan
still was the leader of Mecca. So if
he went and he worked it out with
the prophet, alaihis salaam, then maybe it would
happen smoothly, which is what the prophet
wanted. He didn't want bloodshed coming into Mecca.
No one did. So Abbas would take
and go into the camp of the Muslims
in a long story. I'm just gonna take
for you the piece that I want to
narrate for you for this purpose.
In the morning, I went he slept in
my tent at 9:th. And in the morning,
I took him and went to the prophet
salallahu alaihi wasallam. Fakkala wa yahaqayahu alaihi
wasallam. He said, Woe to you or shame
on you You Rasulfyan.
Shame on you. Has the time not come
for you to finally say
Now Abu Sufian was waiting to be chastised
and chewed out for the lying and the
murder and the betrayal and the and the
and the conspiracy
and and everything else that he did throughout
his life. He was coming, you know, if
you've done something wrong, you're coming, you're waiting
for your lecture or for your, you know,
someone to say something to you. He was
coming waiting for that. That's what he knew
he deserved and that's what he was expecting.
The prophet
didn't say a word of it. He just
went right to, is it not time for
you to say that ilaha illallah? And this
is the wording in
He said,
I sacrifice my my family for you.
How
How how is it that you continue to
connect the relations that I sever?
How how patient are you?
How how merciful are you?
You're still you're still trying to get me
to become Muslim
after everything I've done, after all that has
happened, everything I've said, everything you're still you're
still doing this? He He said, I've And
then he said, It fell into my heart
that if there was any god aside from
Allah then they would have done something today.
But nothing has happened.
Has the time not come for you as
well to
acknowledge that I am the Prophet of Allah.
Ma ahlamak
Ma'urhamak
Wallahi lakadbakiyafinafsimin
Hashayah.
He said the same thing. I don't understand
how you
You Rasool Allah. You Muhammad, there's still something
in my heart from that one.
He took he took from
him. That's fine. At least one thing.
Aside from that, my my point here in
his hadith alayhis salawat wa sallam is that
Abu Sufyan his response was that
in order for you to justify his response,
you have to understand what he's thinking and
what the context is. The context for Abu
Sufyan is
how is it that you're like this?
He's like, how is it that you are
like this?
Why do you still care if I am
Muslim or not?
After everything I have done, after the time
and time again I tried to kill you,
I've ruined your reputation, I've tried to destroy
your deen, I betrayed you, I lied to
you, I've done everything that possible to harm
you. Why is it that you still care
if I accept La ilaha illallah or not?
This is what his response.
I
don't understand. Ma'ulsaraq.
I've never seen anyone like you. The prophet
alaihis salatu wasalam that they beat Abu Sufia
but not with his army.
Not with the army. No. He beat him
with something else. He beat him with his
ethics, with his morals, with his dedication to
his message.
He was devoted to and
that dedication and devotion is what
beat Abu Sufyan. Abu Sufyan felt helpless. I
don't know what to tell
you. I don't want to tell you. Faayib
la ilaha illallah. I don't know what to
tell you. Yeah. I don't understand why you
still care.
And his response
He he he's very wise and he knows
and he knows and he knows what the
prophet alaihis salatu wa sallam knows. So they're
talking on a on a higher level than
maybe the people who are even listening. Probably
Abbas as they understand. So Abu Saffeiya knows
what he's done and knows what this moment
deserves.
He knows what this moment dictates. This is
a moment of 2 adversaries, one winning.
1 being having the upper hand and the
other one who played dirty the whole time
has finally lost. He knows what this moment
deserves
and he is prepared for it on the
inside. And then he gets this response.
Say Allah Ilahi Illa and join me. So
he felt, I don't know. I don't understand
you. I don't I don't understand. I'm not
like you and I can't comprehend you and
this is what you really want.
And then when he asked for the second
one, he said I still I can't lie
to you. You're an honest person. You speak
to me with honesty. I'll speak to you
with honesty. I still don't believe that prophet
alaihis salam is okay with that. He'll take
whatever he can. Take from people whatever you
can because it's steps. They take the first
step. Good. Don't don't be upset. They'll take
the second one later. No problem. But Abu
Sufyan to him was that this is a
very abnormal situation
and that your response that's why he said,
A non Muslim, at the moment non Muslim
looked at him alaihis salaam heard him and
said
I would offer my parents for you. There's
no one like you. I don't understand.
How patient are you? How
merciful are you? How loving of the relationship
of kin are you to still care if
I say la ilaha illallah or not? Abu
Sufyan can't understand it. You and I don't
care. I guess of course dawah dawah. You
don't get it. You don't get it. Abu
Sufyan was doing what
Netanyahu was doing to the Palestinian people. That's
what Abu Sufyan did throughout his life. He
brought 10,000 people to the outskirts of Badina
hoping to kill everybody. He tried this. He
was the leader of this.
He betrayed the prophet of Alaihi Wasallam multiple
times. He tried to get him killed multiple
times. He paid money. He paid people money.
He peeled he paid mercenaries to kill him
and it didn't work out. I understand. He
killed people. He killed people in you can
