			At the library I'm living in a house is a newlywed. When he gets married, his father comes and
checks in on him. And when he comes to check in on him, he finds his new wife. And he says, How's
your husband?
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:22
			And she goes, hamdulillah he's incredibly righteous. He spent the night in prayer.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			That good
		
00:00:26 --> 00:01:01
			night if you just got married, and so I'll do live near or I'm gonna ask his father is annoyed with
his son as fathers are annoyed with their sons. And he goes and he complains to the progress on the
lighter side of the line that I'm gonna be honest, is one of the most prolific narrators of Hadith.
He's someone who in general, he just, he's just such a devout worshipper in his youth, the province
of Elijah send them here's the Abdullah Ahmed Manasse loves to constantly recite the Quran all the
time and complete it again and again and again. And indeed when you measure the progress of Elijah
send them says to him, complete the Quran only in 30 days.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:43
			Just do religious a day that's it don't don't go faster than that. And so Abdullah now I'm gonna ask
says sudo su la sala de Selim, he says yada so Allah, that he attempted the Kuwaiti Russia Bobby. He
says, Oh Messenger of Allah, let me enjoy. This is amazing. He says, Let me enjoy my strength and my
youth. He's saying that I want to use my youth, like the fact that I can just drink one Red Bull and
I can be up all night, no problem. I want to use that in the worship of Allah Subhana Allah, Allah,
this is the time when I'm able to do that. This is the time where I'm able to take crazy road trips
and be in a masjid for four hours, on four hours sleep like this is the time where I'm able to do
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:55
			and and let me enjoy that. Let me take advantage of that. And so the Prophet sallallahu wasallam
says, okay, don't complete the Quran in less than half of half of the month, 30 days 50
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:13
			And he says the honest will Allah Danny is tempted to share Bobby O Messenger of Allah, let me enjoy
my youth and my strength. And so the province of Allah and SNM says, Only complete the Quran in
seven days don't complete the Quran in less than seven days. And he says Yama, Allah, let me enjoy
my youth and my strength.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:53
			And the Prophet says, No, that's it. Now I believe now they're lost. Now he's got a schedule from
the prophesy said and don't complete the Quran in less than seven days. And so he goes on that
routine, until he becomes old. And now he's still trying to keep up with the fact that he used to do
in the Quran that he does and all that type of stuff and he's not at and he said, I wish that I took
the concession of the prophesies. But the idea here is just the psychology of the companions is that
they saw youth not as a reason to be young, wild and free and all kinds of just make up for all of
this stuff later inshallah to Allah later on in life, is that they took it as an opportunity to be
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			energetic, and to challenge themselves in the worship of Allah subhanaw taala
