Hajj every year. One year he was going for Hajj,
he entered the city of Kufa. Used to live in Marwah from Maru. He
traveled to Kufa on his way to Kaaba to Allah. When he enters
Kufa, he sees a little girl.
She is plucking the feathers of a dead duck.
The approach is there. He says, this is carrion. This is haram for
you. She becomes upset. She says, mind your own business. He says,
this is haram. You can't do this. Finally, when he insists, she
turns around and she mentions her plight. Her family was facing
severe poverty. They had lost everything. There was no food in
the house. They hadn't eaten for days. She says, more than three
days have passed. I am on the brink of starvation. I am taking
this for my family. Abdullah bin Mubarak Rahmatullahi follows her.
He goes to the home of this child.
When he sees the plight and difficulty that he is facing them,
he opens his heart whatever provisions he had, he gives it to
them, kids, a little just to return back tomorrow, and cancels
his trip for Hajj. That year,
when the people return from Hajj,
they are greeting him effusively. Ibn kasir mentions this incident
in his bilayer nihaya Someone says he says they not only greeting him
effusively, they are regaling him with interactions that occurred
between them and him in Hajj. Abdullah bin Mubarak Rahmatullah
says, I didn't make Hajj. What are you talking about? The one brother
says, Listen, when going from Arafat to Mina, when going from
Mina to Arafat, I left my goods with you. You look crafted.
Another one says you bought this for me from the bazaar in Makkah.
He's totally confused that night. He sees a dream. In that dream,
the voice calls out to him, oh, Abdullah, because of your sadhaka
and your charity, because you opened your heart on that starving
family, Allah subhanho wa Taala appointed an angel this year in
your form to perform hajj on your behalf,
same Abdullah bin Mubarak as a sheik rahmadulahi mentions the
incident
that one year he performs Hajj
close to Kaaba Tula he's dozing off. He's sleeping. He sees a
dream in his dream conversation of two angels. One Angel asked Dada,
how many people have come for Hajj this year? The answer is given,
600,000
then the question, how many of them? How many of the huja? Has
their Hajj been accepted?
The answer is given, Allah has not accepted a single * Abdullah
bin Mubarak is shocked.
Those days they would have had to travel through jungles. Would have
been would have had to incur tremendous hardship and difficulty
and persecution to perform Hajj. 600,000 not one accepted this
worrying thought in his dream. And then the angel responds in the
same dream and says that one person, Kabbalah Ali bin alaqi,
from Damascus. Because of him, Allah has accepted the Hajj of
600,000 Hajar
Abdullah bin Mubarak there. And then, when he wakes up on the
return journey, he goes to Damascus. He finds this person. He
goes up to him, and he says to him,
looks for him, locates him, introduces himself. This was the
great scholar of Islam, Ali Bin al aqiq. Knew of Abdullah bin
Mubarak. When he hears who it is, he's shocked. He says, Why are you
looking for me? He says, Did you make Hajj this year? He said, No,
I had every intention. Allah did not will it. He said, Tell me
about it. This person was out of modesty, refused to reveal
details. Abdullah bin Mubarak insisted so. He said, 30 years I
had been saving to make Nafil Hajj. 30 years
going hungry, saving my earnings, my life's earnings. I had gathered
3000 dinars this year. I was supposed to perform Hajj. I
happened to be at the house of my neighbor. They were sitting down
to eat. I was not hungry, but I expected my neighbor to invite me.
Out of courtesy, my neighbor did not invite me. I felt heard, but I
didn't say anything. My neighbor realized I could see the worry on
his face, so he called me one side, and he said, Listen, my
brother.
Three to five days have passed. There has been no food in my
house. I could not bear to hear the crying of hunger of my
children. So today I saw a dead donkey. I cut a piece of meat out
of the corpse out
of the carrier,
what I put in front of my family is halal for us, because we are
starving for more than three days. It's not halal for you. This is
why I cannot invite you to partake. He says My heart was
broken. I went home and what I had saved for my Nafil Hajj, 3000
dinars, I presented it to this family.
Abdullah bin Mubarak, Rahmatullahi says to him, because of your
charity, because of your sacrifice, Allah has accepted the
Hajj of 600,000 Hajar mufti,
takisa dahandar katu gives this reminder
we can reflect this December that passed, the extravagance, the
israf that probably occurred.
We're not comparing good deeds, but this is a time to open our
hearts.
This is a time to share in the pain to whatever extent we can,
every salah, dua, whatever little we have used those channels by
which our starving brothers and sisters and little children can be
assisted in any way, and we've run out of time. But Maharaj, Rajab or
not Rajab, there is a lesson
hakiga. We talk of masjid, Aqsa, the sanctity of the masjid, the
love for the masjid, the devotion for the masjid, the Kai for the
Masjid.
Walla, my respected brothers, Allah, forgive me. Allah, forgive
you,
if we ourselves are not in the masjid.
And all those cries and all that chanting and all that snow getting
and all that pamphleteering. In reality, what real weight does it
carry?
Allah waited his Nabi. There's no time to go into details. He went
to that point.
Tazi Ayaz Rahim Allah mentions the Rewi farhakani Jibril
beyond the sidratul muntaha Jibreel said, I cannot go any step
further than this. Farakkani Jibril, one katala Swa total,
complete silence. He had reached a point. No creation of Allah was
allowed to reach that point besides Muhammad, Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
whispering, talking, communion directly between Habib and Mahbub,
walla ulama say, what exactly, what conversation exactly occurred
at that point? Besides Allah and His Habib's rasa, no one knows,
even kiraman, Kati bean, where Allah says my alfidum in coal
illallid, whatever you will utter, my angels are with you. They are
writing it down. They also don't know what conversation occurred.
Why? Because he had reached that point where no angel was allowed.
Also
secret between Habib and Mahmoud that conversation that occurred.
But
what possibly occurred?
Allah knows best. But what did he come back with? This is that Nabi
who possibly said to Allah that ya, Allah, you gave me this maqam.
What about my ummah?
What can I take back for my ummat? Because every second, every
moment, of his life was devoted to this ummat. Quran says, la Allah,
kabaki on NAFSA, Oh, My Habib. Are you going to kill yourself? Finish
yourself because of your ummat? He would not possibly have forgotten
his ummah. It's not a coincidence. It's not a coincidence
that he reaches that point and comes back from there with the
means and a medium which allows you and I to reach that point.
He came back with Sajida. He came back with salah.
And what is Sajida like? Haja Maha majmaal is to say, medjab, sajda,
miss, salak do Zamin ko asmaaan kardu,
understand, what is Sajida
that when Sajdah is done correctly, walla your home not on
the ground. The ground become the heavens,
your marriage has taken place. Hadith Rasulullah says, he says,
You cannot go closer. You cannot go closer. You cannot go closer to
Allah than you are when you are in sajda.
So take the Hadiya of Maharaj. Take the Sabbath of marriage. Hear
the cries of Aksha. Hear the cries of that Masjid. Every morning in
Masjid Hilal, when two or three safsa here and Juma, this Masjid
is full even in Ramadan.
For the first few nights, the Masjid is full, and then the back
is empty. My respected brothers, Allah, protect you. Allah, protect
me. Let us not rise up with the hypocrites tomorrow who are making
empty chants and slogans about the worry of the sanctity of the
masjid and we could not fulfill the sanct.
Of that masjid,
if there's no other preparation, if there's no other preparation,
there's no other identification, at least, make this identity that
from now take it upon ourselves. Till Allah frees Masjid aksha, and
inshaAllah Allah will free Masjid aksha, that kurbani will not go in
ways till that time. Take this that five times salah, every one
of us will be in the masjid, and after that salah, raise our hands
and cry for our brothers and sisters like.
