Adnan Rajeh – Performing Dawah – Outreach #14

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
