00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Every good deed. Yay. Imam Al
Bahati, you.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:29
			Timos, nadihibi, senadin Hassan
and Khalid Ibn walidilahu, Anhu
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:34
			qadil tadi, collection of Imam Al
Bai ha TI. And he has a couple of
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			collections, I think this is the
sunan, and it is narrated to us
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			with a reasonable generation by
Sayyidina. Khalid does not have a
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			lot of a hadith, if any at all,
that are narrated through him. And
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			this is really not much of a
hadith, as much as it is him
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			telling us this his story, like
how he accepted Islam. And it's a
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			long story. I'm just gonna take a
little piece of it that I that I
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			find im arise when I was a kid,
and I should probably never forgot
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			it. And it's just a it's just
something in it that it just tells
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			you something about how he, how he
his wisdom, alias Allah, to us. I
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			mean knowing how to speak to
people, when and what to say, and
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			just this, this mastery of the of
the craft and say the said Allah
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:19
			Ali, who Ali wasallamish, had the
hula the Prophet alayhi salam when
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			he entered for the Umrah of
khaliah. So when he came for
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			David, he was coming from Umrah,
right? And they didn't let him
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			come in. They signed the Treaty of
Hoda b He went back again the year
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:34
			after it was called Umrah, to in
the seventh year of Israel for the
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			Umrah. And Khalid said, I wasn't
there. I didn't I didn't witness
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			him
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:45
			coming in. Pakayana Maha al Walid
Ibn Walid miman, my brother,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:52
			Walid, Al Walid, who was younger
than Khalid, he was a Muslim, and
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			he entered the Mecca with the
Prophet Alaya. Saw to some during
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			Umrah, and he looked for me. He
asked, where I want to see my
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			brother and I, he didn't find me.
Faqabah, ILA, yaki Taban, so he
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:09
			wrote a letter to me. Khali said,
Bismillah, wahman, Amma, Baden,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:15
			Nilam Ara ajaba means the habi
Raika. I mean Islami wa aka Luka,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:20
			aka Luke wami, Israel, Islami,
yajalahu Ahad. So this is what he
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			wrote in this letter, in the name
Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			Merciful. I'm a bad I've never
seen anything that is weirder to
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			me in my life than how your
understand, your your mind has not
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			found Islam yet. This is the
weirdest thing to me. Your
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			intellect is your intellect. Me.
I've known you. You're the
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			smartest person I know, and you
have not found Islam yet. I This
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			is the weirdest thing to me. I've
never seen anything like it in my
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			life. You're too smart not to see
this, and the likes of Islam is
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			not going to be missed by anyone
who has intellects, is what his
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:56
			brother is saying. Wakan said, Any
the Prophet alayhi saw
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			some asked me about you. Halas, it
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:07
			fixed the problem. Because Allah
he faqed, he came with when the
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			Prophet entered Mecca with me,
asked me, where's Khalid faqil to
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			Yet Allah? Who be He? So? I
answered him. I said, Allah will
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:19
			bring him. Fakala, Mami flu who
yaji haul Islam, someone like him
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:24
			will not, cannot miss Islam well.
And who ja ilanika Yet a who wa
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:30
			jadah, who el muslimin ala mushri
keen like an Allah wala padamah.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			If he put all the effort that he
has, all of his all of his wit and
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			all of his abilities on the on the
side of the Muslims against their
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			enemies, it would have been better
for him. And had he come to us. If
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			he was to come to me, I will give
him status. And that's that's the
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:54
			quote of the Prophet he saw us,
and so he continues to brothers,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			come out in us. Ali, ha, you need
to make up for the time that you
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			you've missed my brother, and you
have missed some important
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:07
			moments. You've missed important
things. Khalifa, speaking Allah,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:17
			anikita, Abu Hush waslamical
Islam. When I when I received the
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			letter, it gave me this energy to
get up and go to Medina, and it
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			gave me this willingness to accept
Islam. And the story obviously
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			continues. And Khalid would meet
AMR and others, and they would go
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			to Medina to accept Islam. But
this is how Khalid explains the
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			beginning of it. It was, it was
the Prophet alayhi salatu Islam,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			asking about him. Where is fulan?
He's to say something nice about
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			him through a word, through a
compliment in the midst of a
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			honey, a light that probably is
filled with with a lot of back and
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			forth and all that contradictions
and failures and sorrows and fears
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			and pains, he got here a nice word
from someone who had status, and
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			it fell in his heart and it opened
the door that was had been closed
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			for say in the heart for a long
time. Sayyidina had.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05
			He accepted late. He came in late.
He came in late. It was the eighth
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			year of Hijrah. Only three years
with the prophet Ali assault was I
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			was a Muslim, right? He came in
late. He missed so much. The door
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			was closed for him, just the door
wasn't open. And the Prophet said,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			I never lost hope in Him. He
always hoped that one day the door
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			will open. Well, the door doesn't
open on itself by itself. Allah
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			subhanaw taala uses any tools to
open these doors for people. Allah
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			subhanahu wa opens doors for
people. He doesn't like doors
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			don't just fling open. He
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			uses tools. He uses people to open
doors for people. So be someone
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			who Allah opens the door for
someone else, for by or through.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			Be the person like when Allah
wants to guide someone, why not?
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			Why not it be through you? Why
not? Why does it have to be
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			through someone else? Why can it
be through you? If Allah grant
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			benefits, why not through you?
He's going to grant this person
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			benefit. It's just a matter of
which medium, which medium is
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			going to be. Be the medium you get
there. You're for it. It's better
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			than doing nothing. Better than
sitting around with nothing to do,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			be the medium but present
yourself. Allah subhanahu, he
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			wants to. Allah will guide
whomever he wants and will
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			misguide whoever he wants. Just be
the medium of guidance. The
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			Prophet alayhi Salat didn't let
anything personal come between him
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			and Khalid. And there was so many
reasons for him to allow something
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			like that to happen, but he
didn't. He kept the door and he
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			said something. He left him. He
didn't have to, he didn't have to
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			say anything nice about Khalid.
Islam does not need anyone. Islam
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			has never needed anyone. But the
Prophet alayhi salatu salam is not
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			about Islam needing it's about him
needing Islam. It's about Khalid
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			and ulib needing Islam. The
Prophet alayhi salaam having
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			within his toolkit the ability to
maybe nudge him forward, encourage
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			him to come to Allah. He said
something nice. Imagine if he
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:41
			didn't.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			Now, imagine Islamic history if he
didn't.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50
			Imagine if the prophet said that.
They didn't say, didn't say, where
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			is he? Why is he not here? Someone
like him should not be unknown to
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			Islam, or someone like him should
not miss Islam. He should put his
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			effort with us. He comes to us,
we'll treat him well. Had he not
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			said those words, it took him
three seconds. He didn't say those
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			words, anybody would have nothing
to write in this message. And
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			Khalid may have not imagined the
difference. The smallest thing
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15
			sometimes can make the world of
difference. Sayyidina, Khalid,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			obviously, I need those who
studied Islamic history know what
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			he did know to what degree. Say,
the hard myth. He literally was a
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			myth.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			Had to remove him, like he had to
remove he had no choice. He
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			became. He was becoming a Arab
were still very not too long ago,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			just just a couple of just a
decade before they were worshiping
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			Aslam. Arabs had not completely
disconnected from this concept.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			Yet they still haven't. Today, if
you want, my opinion, they still
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			have not. They still have not.
They're not even close to getting
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			to that. But say the high was
coming to the point where he was
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:52
			becoming a myth. People started to
see him as something that he
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			wasn't. So said to remove him all
because the Prophet Aliyah saw
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			those time and said, Allah, I find
that to be a part of Yani, of his
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			dawah concept. The theme is
obviously still Dawa, and I think
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			it's something do that everyone so
ask about people, say something
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			nice, compliment them, and you
offer them some you'll find that
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			opens their heart, opens the door.
This may be closed for them.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			They'll come to Allah subhanahu
wa, them Coming to
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			Allah subhanahu wa, leave.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:38
			Islam
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:52
			mean the hobby Islam, you are look
for me through Islam, you Salama
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:01
			Islam will know Johnny, who was
the whole Muslim, Allah, a
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:15
			Allah.
