			Allah
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			wa Salatu was salam, wa salam ala Nabi Avada
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:28
			shaytani r rajim, Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, yeah.

			Sarah kala, hula,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:01:19
			my dear respected elders and brothers. Normally from time to time we speak about Sahaba we speak
about great personalities of the past, with the intention of gaining lessons from the life. Today
I'm going to speak about a Sahabi who has a very unique Sahabi a very great savvy and we get many
lessons from his amazing life. And that is as a hobby by the name of veva veniamin who verify
veniamin as he as he Misha Shawn Sahaba kibarim A Bianca Machado insha Allah. And in this particular
regard, his father was from MCI karma.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:32
			However, he had killed a person in Macau, prior to Islam, the days of ignorance that used to happen
many times because of which he used to and he took refuge
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			in Medina
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			and he became an ally of the bunny.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:02:08
			So he was from Makkah, he was a monkey, but because of his circumstances, he migrated to Medina well
before the migration of our beloved Maria Kareem sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and with a father. That
was the same situation with him. He was a monkey because his roots was in the cup. But he grew up in
Medina. So this was Was it me Amanda, viola,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			maka, Sita, Nikki Sica.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			Medina, Jana
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			acel assumpta Makita Nick in Medina.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			So in this particular way,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			there was a fella viola, who grew up in Medina
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			and he became a Muslim without meeting our beloved
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:44
			missionary. So he became a Muslim in Medina
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			without meeting
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			him, and he had this whole desire to meet
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:00
			him and Libya Kareem sallahu alayhi wa sallam came to Medina and then he met Jose for the Toronto
when he met as it was a fun
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:16
			day for us. Arsalan Mahajan Anna and Sarah Am I part of muhajir ohana and sorry, because my roots
are from Makkah and I grew up in Medina so I am
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			from Macau and sorry for Marina
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:37
			Aslam said in Terminal margerine when she took on terminal answer, if you want you can become a
martyr if you want you can decide to get Ansari sarana Ansari when a person can give a Panama
camiseta or Teresa Medina
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			question
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:00
			one Sorry, sorry, but no person kept himself slim gave him the option and he said, I would like to
be an emissary. This was how he grew up. Now at that time, there was an amazing incident that took
place and that is we need to learn from this incidents
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:13
			as it was a father and his father. were traveling. They were going to Medina from one place and they
met Abu Jamal was on his way to the Battle of Budda Budda Jara
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:21
			on the way he met, who is a father and his father Yemen, and he said
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:37
			they said we going to Medina. He said, Are you going to meet him? He said no, we have grown up in
Medina. We went to Medina. He said, okay, we are about to go and fight. And we are about to enter
into a war with the people of Medina with Maria Muhammad.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:46
			And if you are going to Medina, who will only let you go if you give me your word you will not take
part in this battle.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:56
			You must give me your word. You are not going to take part in this battle that we are going to fight
with Muslims. So who's a fan his father gave them the word.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			This is an amazing thing has happened.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			Don't simulate
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			his brother
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			or his mother or may
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:51
			not get to He gave His Word. So when the when was a fire his father met him Salah when he was
selling himself since we are you coming from what happened here as soon as this happened, despite
the fact that in better you need every person you need at the health of every person. We are Kareem
Sallam said, who's a Father and your Father, you gave your word to Abu jandal you can take part in
this batch,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			you gave your word.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:03
			You can not be fat in this person. This is how a Muslim is that he keeps his word. He keeps his
commitments.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:19
			And that Allah says, oh, believe us fulfill your commitments. You gave me a word for your
commitment. You give me a word, you keep your word. This is how a believer is. Even in such an
occasion, many times you and I will say
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:28
			by force, he made us made a commitment. We don't have to worry about it. But look at our beloved
maybe
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:34
			you gave a weapon or enemy, you will fulfill that word. That is why I've been able to maybe
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			one day was asked if Japan
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			can be a coward.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:56
			Can you be a coward? Yes, he can be he is a human being a human being has got certain weaknesses. As
a human being you can have a weakness of being a coward. It's not a good quality, but you can be a
coward.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			Not a good quality, but you can be a miser is possible.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:08
			Be
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			the acronym Some said never.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:40
			You can have other weaknesses in you that you can never be Elia What am I have written. And I've
read this about me. It says that other weaknesses only impact upon one aspect of your character.
Other weaknesses only only effects one aspect of your character. But being a liar, and being
dishonest, it impacts upon your entire character. That's a woman can never be an iron.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			Man, he must strive to become a true person, then he can be a true believer
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			under the IDEA.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:08
			And as he has written, he said three things, there is no difference between a Muslim and non Muslim.
Three things is no difference between a Muslim in a non Muslim. One of them is if your parents and
your relatives are Muslim, or non Muslims, you must be good to them.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:17
			And the second one, one of them is whether you made a commitment and a promise to a Muslim or non
Muslim, you must fulfill it.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:24
			See that? Yeah, if I make a commitment and a promise to a Muslim, I must keep it to a non Muslim. I
don't have to keep it.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:40
			Where do we take this woman has written that she has no differences between a Muslim and non Muslim
when we give you a word and you give you a commitment. So this was an amazing thing in the
deathless, who had an amazing incident takes place. Amanda
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:50
			was a first father, he was put in charge of looking at the back because he was elderly. So during
the course of the skirmish, because
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:58
			his father was killed by what we today known as friendly fire hazard.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			muscle man okay.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:19
			Because when, when he was taking him because he was so much confusion in the better, they could not
sometimes distinguish between the enemy and the people who are from your home. So here's
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			a hint of a Muslim. And then when they came to
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:54
			us, he started shouting that is my father. It's my father but was too late. So then he came in and
wanted to give him blood money, the time there was blood money if you are Muslim by mistake, so you
have to give great money and was a part of the lotto and said I will not take blood money. This was
done by mistake. This increase is respected. And then he went to the VA Kareem salsa, let us who
live very worried. My father was killed in such such circumstances. He had the intention of becoming
a Shaheed in this situation when he
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			himself said hey intention of Shaheed he died in the situation.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:11
			He is a Shaheed I give evidence that he's a Shaheed he died at the hands of the Muslim but he was a
Shaheed because of the situation that was found for this in particular happen now as it was I
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:17
			had certain very amazing qualities he had some very amazing quality
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:23
			Deanna dari
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			has done
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			a nice job
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			at him, okay.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			Three things that
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:59
			was amazing, he had three great qualities, one was his intellect. One was his capacity to keep
secrets, capacity to keep secrets and I will make mention with regard to this, there is why
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			used to relate to him secrets. And he came to be known as the
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:24
			awesome secrets. So he was simply Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. And the third thing is that
amazing quality, it is the The quality of being able to do the right thing at the right time, on
spontaneity. Now, please
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:34
			take some time and tell you, you know, this is a very amazing thing people don't realize it. Many
times people say you should have done this.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			One year ago, the trustees or the message should have done this.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:47
			By you must remember one thing, intelligence is not to make a decision on hindsight.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:54
			Intelligence is to make a decision for sight now we must make a decision. After one day you say I'm
here.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			That means nothing. We should
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:09
			never ever say no, don't ever say if I had done that, because it means nothing. It actually impacts
upon your human
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:54
			intelligence is to make a decision on the spur of a moment. And then you make a decision in that
capacity to make the right decision. And that is the intelligence of a person that is the middle of
a person not to say after one year I should have done this it means nothing. The ability to do the
right decision in that particular aspect requires not emotionalism. It requires a person to be cool
headed, thoughtful, and then he makes a decision. Otherwise people who make decision on emotions
most of the time that goes to sleep, most of the time they go to sleep. And this is why you will
find this aspect of Asan Jose for a lot of his life came to the fore in the Battle of Hunter Hunter
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:59
			chemo Kappa Kareem sallahu alayhi wasallam na kisi
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			the schwannoma
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			artisti openness
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			is the openness
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:18
			Aslam wanted someone to do an intelligence mission to then find out what is happening to the
enemies. So let me show you the qualities of
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:19
			it.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			Who's ever come here? I will send you to admission. Oh, look at this.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:14:08
			For me, I was very afraid. I was I was I was shivering. It was very cold. That particular time it
was very cold in Medina. You know, the incident at the Sahaba used to used to be freezing at the
time of the Battle of conduct in a time of maybe salsa. He said I was feeling very cold. So when we
saw Sam called me I was rather reluctant to be occurring Sourcelink put me in his shown and I
started feeling warm and then he gave me this Allahumma fers woman Bain he had a woman healthy,
where Yemeni Juan shonali amin fofi Lamine taty overlap, protect this person from the right from the
left from from in front, from the back from the top from the bottom garrison Yala protect mesabi.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:09
			And then
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:24
			he went on this mission and look at the spontaneity. He said when he went he saw he was very, very
bad mood. Because everything was going according to plan. All whatever he had done agreements with
the Jews in Medina
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:37
			nothing was coming to pass, nothing was working. And there was great amount of winners great amount
of gold. So he told the people for the hill, I'm leaving from here who also live with me here but he
said I don't want
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:59
			to come to know about this. I don't want the Muslims to come through about this. Therefore, every
one of you as the person next to you who is identify the person next to you, so that we know that
there is no spine within us. So you don't see anyone who's aspiring, Athena is going to first
identify the person who is next to you. So if you
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:13
			Is anyone suspicious, we'll be able to take him out of our ranks and then we'll be able to make the
decision. So who safer if you started worrying What does I do? Now, this is the spontaneity This is
now making a decision on the spur of the moment
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			as the person next to
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:23
			me put the person under pressure that person identified himself has always ever got out of the mix.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:37
			And then he said an amazing thing he said then Abu Sofia and said we can't take it anymore, pick up
your tents We are leaving. So that means the entire mission of bringing 25,000 people to attack
Medina came to fail.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:50
			And then was a first set an amazing thing. This is how he worked not on emotions on been following
instruction. He said I saw Abu sufian alone the leader of
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:29
			the leader of the enemies, and he said I took out my I took out my arrow. I said he has an ideal
opportunity for me to kill the leader of the of the tougher time as a leader. I pick out my arrow
and then I remember him telling me Oh, who's only going to bring information don't do anything else.
Only go and find out information and come in Tell me Don't do anything else. I put my arrow back.
Sometimes you don't work on emotions you work on what is right. What is beneficial for the cause.
And look at how Allah subhanho wa Taala works that same
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:37
			he became a Muslim. He became amongst those who had a great amount of achievements in the history of
Islam.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:50
			Nevertheless many respects one of the aspects was maybe a cream sauce lamb used to relate things to
as to who was he for the ultimo. He told him the name of the of
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:57
			the one of the greatest difficulties of Muslims at that time. There are people who are hypocrites
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:07
			hypocrites, right because I told him you and I we cannot call anyone what certainty a hypocrite
because we don't know we don't have way
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:09
			way
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:11
			way
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			how many
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:24
			there are signs and we have to worry about the signs and stay away from it. But we have got no right
to label someone with definity
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:31
			regard to it. But I will say for now one thing that you ask to people like Abubakar and Omar and
Ozma and
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:33
			then tell them
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			why do you
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			tell them why did he tell someone like was
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			amazing
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:56
			how am I have written the reason Abubakar Omar Ali waco to become leaders and he's not good for a
leader to know the weakness of his people is better for him to have a good expectations of the
people that want to be himself some didn't tell
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:03
			you they were gonna become leaders. They were gonna become honey fast. Maybe a cat himself. Someone
could ask me but I can give
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:21
			me a cream sauce as an as a father Viola. Now what what he tells you very important to three
important lessons is I say today we've got over time. One is don't ever tell your secrets to anyone
except the person whom you trust him.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:27
			Very important. Yeah. Hey, Ross, Ross, kissy.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			kissy
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:54
			kissy kohala karna. Don't ever make mention of your secrets to anyone except the person whom you're
trusting, to give someone and to tell someone your secrets, it is equivalent to giving your respect
and honor to someone and you don't give your respect and honor to someone except the person whom you
trust them. Be very careful who your secrets to that is.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:13
			You don't tell your secrets to anyone. You only tell the person the secret whom you got trusting
that only you make mention with the gateway. That that's one aspect. Then the second aspect is we
you and I we should not pry into the secrets of other people. Don't look for the fault of other
people.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			Don't go Don't go and try and spy on people.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			What an amazing if someone
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:59
			stealthily go and look into your door, and he's not supposed to look at how you can secretly look
inside inside your house and out of anger you take a stone in your room his eye, his eye is wounded.
He can see that it normally is retaliation. Because you you throw a stone at him he can throw a
stone back at you. In this instance when he saw some said there is no direct there is no cathedra
Why did he look into your house he was supposed to look into your house. What was he trying to other
people's affairs. Then the second thing of course is you must be very
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:22
			Refer? You know, it is Holly Gibran who has made mentioned that we got with, if you reveal your
secrets to the women that don't blame the wind, if the wind reveals your secret to the trees, what
do you expect? If you tell your secrets to the wind, the winds will give it to the trees. So be
careful with regard to whom you make mention. They say that the only time three people can keep a
secret if
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:40
			there's only time, people can keep a secret if you added the fullness, another lesson we learn from
you is that very important lesson, if someone tells you a secret thing, it is your responsibility to
keep it secret. Mr. Shah,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			I imagine this to be
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:49
			anyone tells you something, and he tells you keep it a secret. If you go into ideology,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			violate the
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			law, we don't regardless.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:16
			If someone tells you something, and when he's telling you something he's looking left and right. Is
someone listening or not, that's a secret, you can go and tell another person is gonna tell another
person because he is he has done such a thing with shows that he wants it to be a secret and you
want to divulge a secret. You have created a
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:26
			violator trust. So these are things where our data is very, very amazing. So that was a fairly new
the secret sauce
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			for
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:36
			whatever was a fact tells you, whatever they thought tells you then confirm it.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			So
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			whenever there was a genocide, anytime I
		
00:21:47 --> 00:22:01
			used to ask the people is Jose for taking part in this janazah? He said yes. He used to take part in
the NASA if not taking part in the janessa. He used to stay away from the janaza. One has a lot of
money.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:08
			In my governance amongst my governance. Is there anyone who is a moon African?
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			He said yes, there is one when
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:22
			it when Africa has allowed him to use his discretion to remove him. He allowed us to say he allowed
us, you know, afterwards he
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:23
			was correct.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:32
			One day, he came to me he said, Oh, Jose, I can ask you to devise the name of the monastics.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			But by any chance, did he take mining
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:40
			Yala. By any chance? Did he take 19?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:45
			me
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:55
			tell us today we don't introspect. For us. Our introspection is that and others? Yes.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:08
			We only worry about other people, he's like this, he's like that he's like that he's a label, we
pass labels on others, we're not prepared to look at our own spiritual condition has
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:22
			to take account of your gifts before take account of your needs, take account of notice other
people's needs, they will have to take a ton of notes. So these are aspects of as a matter of you
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:33
			have to became very prominent in the conquest of the Persian Empire near highway one, Ray Ray's
Nichiren he was amongst those who conquered and there
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:51
			was a fire became any contact those places, and he became the governor of those places. And at the
time of his death, you know, he said an amazing thing. Something that you I wonder sometimes if ever
we can ever say something like this at a time of our death, he said you're not in the katana in me.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54

00:23:56 --> 00:24:10
			is almost unheard of Allah, you know, throughout my life, I prefer poverty than richness. I prefer I
prefer poverty over welfare. And now we can say that at the time of our death.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:27
			Can anyone say that this is the this is the character of the Sahaba and I preferred being less known
than to be famous. And I prefer death over life. Oh Allah, you know, he was when he died. Let me end
off with an amazing, amazing incident
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:51
			in 1932 and this is mentioned in many many books. There is even a documentary that was made by a
German TV station in 1952. The King of Iraq shall face at the time he was sufficient. He saw a
dream. The two Sahaba approached him in a dream has a job even Abdullah was a Fabien young man
approached him.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:56
			He said the water of the rivers is coming into
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			our cover. He's been
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			waterlogged. Therefore, please have a party somewhere else. Shuffle the
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			camera.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			So then he saw it two three times he then think about it.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:28
			Then the Grand Mufti of Iraq saw the same dream. He went to the president. He said, Did you see this
dream? He said yes, he said we need to do something about it.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:40
			So then they decided on the 10th, on the day of heat, they are going to transfer the bodies of this
to sahab Sahaba to another place.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:26:04
			In fact, if you go and do a search on the computer, you will see pictures on that occasion. He said,
they're going to remove them, you take the the bodies of these two people and they remove it. So
then the people were in harsh. He said, they said wait another week, we would also like to come and
see it. There were 1000s of people who came in when they removed
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:15
			the bodies. two things. One is get a refund was as if it was the same time.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:26
			The bodies were like that. Same the bodies were dead. And another aspect that no one could see in
the eyes of these two Saba.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:32
			No one could see in the eyes of this to Sahara. There was so much
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:38
			in those eyes, that no one could sit sight on the eyes of
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			those two Sahaba was that those two eyes except Santa?
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
