Okay.
Today, Insha'Allah,
the topic of our lecture is if you
follow these men and women,
you will never
go straight.
And, this
this I've already given this talk. I don't
know if it's a Jumah talk or a
or a Khutba or a
Sunday morning talk,
but it is based on a talk by
the late Imam Anwar al Awlaki.
I'm sure many of you know him.
And
he speaks to us today about
a Sahadi called
Abdulah ibn Masud.
It's not about him. It's about what he
said.
But Abdulah ibn Masud, I'm sure, is a
familiar name
with all of us. We know, for example,
that in Madinah,
there were 7 great olamah in Madinah. 7
great olamah.
All their names started with Abdullah.
All their names started with Abdullah.
And they were called the Abadia.
The Abadila
is the plural of Abdullah.
Abadila? The plural of Abdullah.
And one of them was
Abdullah ibn
Maso that.
To give you a
just a short very short,
history on who was Abdullahi Masood.
Abdullahi Masood
was
a shepherd,
a young man, maybe
12, 13 years old, losing the desert looking
after the sheep
of the operation.
And,
the Nabi,
one day, passed by him and asked him
were there any milk to drink
from the from the, from the sheep.
He said, no. No. No. I can't give
you any milk to drink from the sheep.
I milked the fact, isn't it? They don't
there's nobody here. They need the sheep with
milk.
So the said,
do you have a a little,
sheep
that,
is new?
He hasn't,
had milked before.
You see, I can pretty do that.
So probably brought the the the sheep and
the prophet
He arrived on the other of the sheep
and covered Swadina.
He
recited, covered Swadina,
then Abu Bakr was with him. He brought
the stone with a like a bold
stone, and he captured the milk
from the sheep, and Abu Bakr drank first.
And then the
prophet afterwards.
And,
Abdulai Nasrud said he was really struck by
this. This is the young young boy.
And he said to the Nadi says, well,
I'm one that I also want to do
this. I want to run on the ship,
but I also want to get work from
them like you have.
And the prophet said you are already an
intelligent young man. Prophet Sridhi. This is the
prophecy. You are a very intelligent young man.
So after that, we must hold.
Thank you for that point.
When the last thing is finished with,
getting the milk from the sheep,
prophet said, shrink,
and the adult of the cow
of the sheep had shrunk.
First of
all, he was the first person of the
landmass school to read the Quran
in the Haram of Maq.
He was the first
person to read the Quran
in the Haram of Maq. In other words,
with a Quraysh guide.
When he did this, he he first read
surah to Rahman to them, and they were
so shocked. The Quraysh were so shocked
that this little slave boy, he was a
slave. This little slave boy is reading this
Quran with the they were forbidden from reading.
Can he suddenly read the Quran? And they
were so spelled out. They couldn't do anything.
They were going to hit him and hit
him, but when he was finished, they just
glared at him and he he walked away.
Then secondly, also, he there was a second
time also where prophet, sallallahu, when he asked
the prophet, said, can't they go out there
and read to Quran to the Quraysh?
So Abdullah ibn Masood
became the leading scholar in Islam in Medina
at the time.
He was the most learned in the Quran.
I'm giving you an idea of who this
man was. He was the most
learned people in the Quran, and he know
the Quran best
by heart of any of the other Sahaba
of the. What does his name?
Abdullah ibn
Mas'ud.
And he used to say, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud,
you call Pradeem. He used to say,
I took from the mouth of the prophet
more than
any of the I I sorry. I took
from the mouth of the prophet 70 Surahs
from the Quran. In other words, while the
prophet was reading the Quran, he was memorizing
the Quran. In 7 in the case of
70
of the surahs of the of the Quran.
And he says, I am better understanding of
the Quran than anyone of you.
I'm the best in the Quran, the sciences
of the Quran in anyone of you.
And they are
Omar, Osman, Ali, all of them, all the
Sahaba
said, you are the best person. We're the
probably to hear the Quran,
I would say, but I love to hear
your voice also to read the Quran, and
others have my voices also. I like to
listen to the Quran.
And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
listen carefully to the status of this person
because I'm gonna talk about it. The
prophet says, well, directed the Sahaba
and said to them,
stick to the method of the belief.
Al A'at.
This is what the prophet called it. Ibli
Al A'at, son of the mother of a
slave. Because he was a slave, His mother
was also a slave.
They were proud of these connotations.
Today, somebody calls you a servant
you'll be angry.
That time, they were called a slave, and
they were proud to be a slave. Of
course, who are they a slave? Oh, if
somebody says to you, you're a servant. You
see? I'm a servant.
I'm certain that Allah is facing
you. So you're taken with a smile. If
somebody says, do this, you know, say, don't
tell me you're not your boy. Tell me,
Mashallah, good servant. What do you want me
to do? I'm the servant of Allah
I will be
grateful
and happy to do you a favor. Even
though 'om alaat,
the son
of the mother of the slave.'
And the Prophet said about him,
whoever wants to hear the Quran as fresh
as it was revealed,
they can read it the way of Ibnikku,
are out.
Read it the way of.
What was his name?
Abdullah Imi. Must all say it. Abdullah Imi.
I don't want you to ever forget this
name. When you go home, Google his name.
Let's see what a great point it was.
And he says, Abdullah Nasrud said
used to say, there is no Surah
about which I do not know
where and what context it was revealed in.
Says he knew he knew where every Surah
was revealed, the place it was revealed,
and also
the context.
Context me, why did Allah reveal that Surah?
SubhanAllah.
Hudayfa,
meaning 'Abdulill
Masood's
way of life and the character of the
Nabi Sultan. You see Abdul Mas'ud was closest
to the Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
in his way of life, his character,
and, of course, his love for deen and
his love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He was a man guided by Allah,
educated by the prophet
and enlightened by the Quran.
We can say this, that we are educated
by the prophet.
We are in and we are
we are guided by Allah, educated by the
prophet, and enlightened
by the holy.
And this
piece that I'm gonna tell you now is
narrated
in the sunan
of the evening of Imam al Bawi.
You can Google this also.
The first thing is there, if you know
where to get it.
He said
Al Barawi says that Abdul Nasoon said
so he's he writes this in his book.
This man writes. He said, Abu Lughnas would
say these words. What did he say? He
said,
mankaneh wistannan.
He wants to follow a path. Who
you know this?
It's a good revision for me.
He says
Any person of all of us wants to
follow a party, isn't it? So what do
we do? We follow all this. The street
department in Cape Town, all those possible that
follow us.
Right or wrong?
Will they do right when they do wrong?
Will they wear green and white on their
head, whatever the peace of the sun will
say?
70,000
Muslims
will wear a cap on their head in
color green and white.
They will follow that jar.
What did the prophet say?
70,000 Muslims
will wear on their head green and white.
And
who will they follow? The jar
who is worse than Shifa.
Careful what you're doing. Be careful.
What you do? You should ask.
Can I do this?
So he said,
you should follow those who have passed away.
Strange thing to say I can follow people
who have passed away.
Fa'in al Hayd. This is why.
Fa'in al Haydah tuqmanu alayhiil fitna.
Because a person who has died away, his
life is complete.
If he's ready to be a good man,
and he died a good man, that was
his life.
But a man who isn't possible yet to
make how good he is. The prophet
said
that
there will be people
who would live the deed of Allah their
whole life,
and when they die, they die.
And there will be people who love this
cast, but when they die, they die.
Look at yourself in your old age. Are
you still making soft?
You're still doing all the the 5
practicing the 5 pillars?
Most important of all, while you wave it
from there, you said, maybe I've made too
much solar. Why not allow forgive me? Maybe
I don't have to pass anymore. I know.
Okay? But, I mean, you're not old enough.
So I just excuse always an excuse.
Well, it's a car. Well,
And say the words
every
day, every time you remember it, you say.
Why? Because
it will be imprinted in your mind in
the day and the time and the minute
that you need it, you'll send it.
Because it oh, what is that words again?
No. No. No.
Because all of us will die with with
a very small baby. They'll go on back
and say,
So the speaker was
who was the speaker who said these words?
Come
on.
What did he say? From the follow-up part
follow-up part of those who passed away. And
who are those who passed away?
They were the best people of this bond.
They were chosen.
Each one of them was chosen by Allah
to follow
in the footsteps of Muhammad.
Now why do I say that?
What made you say how they were chosen?
How do I know that they were chosen?
Because
Allah said
no Ummah after Muhammad
That was the best Ummah
that came to the sun.
And after the best,
that's it. You came to it.
Allah was pleased
with him
and they were pleased.
So
a person is still alive
what about a person who is still alive?
Nobody knows how your real life is going
to end.
But that's how
we know exactly who they are. We know
exactly the promised.
10 specifically,
it was promised on the bill and the
people who bothered every single person who thought
they bothered.
Good and bad advice.
Only since I forget it. So there was
once a hurry. He was, you know,
the drinking of wine, I think, was only
Haram sheikh was sitting in the 50th
year. But it's also better better.
So he continued to take a sip. So
if that Ahmad had been a hotdog, he
would say, hey. What's wrong with you there?
You know?
So
The Sahaba
was given the stamp of approval
of Allah and his nation, Muhammad.
Who was
Abdul London was speaking to when he gave
this talk? This is just the first he
gave quite a long time. I'm giving you
the first sentence.
I give you the whole lot, it'll take
about 2 hours to do this. So
Abdulai was
speaking to the Tadayin,
the 2nd best generation
after the generation of Muhammad.
Was it only the Tabi'i. Were the Tabi'i?
Tabi'i were those who make the Sahaba.
After the Tabi'i, nobody make the Sahaba, so
he they make leave with a sahabi. This
is what he said. This is a price
he gave to them.
And he said to them,
none of you have the guarantee that you'll
go to China,
but every single's hobby has the guarantee that
you'll go to China.
None of you fall in bother.
Lot of them fall in bother or forgiven
them all. The others are how about
who who died in the other battles?
And you see to them,
they had patience with the prophet.
Patience.
And, of course, the Imam and the Shemkhin
being whoever it is must also have patience
with you. Patience is a vital part of
how Allah is love being with you.
I told you. I said, there's somebody up
seats me. My children, my wife, whoever it
is.
I don't respond
until I've waited 3 days.
This is not from y'all. This is maybe
from maybe
10 years ago.
And, well, I tell you, after 3 days,
I forgot the music.
With these 3 tact words. You know how
difficult that is?
You you shun somebody, you have to take
it back.
Shout at your wife, you take it back.
It
doesn't work, you know. How to wait?
You'll see that it's true
because you're not allowed to be
enemies with any person or any Muslim person
for more than
3
days. So Allah was pleased with him and
the prophet was pleased with him,
and these are the ones we should follow.
When you say those are the ones we
should follow because they followed Muhammad whatever they
knew
they got from,
Muhammad.
Abdullah must give us some reasons why we
should follow them. 1st, they were the best
of people.
Abadu Akaluma,
they were the most sincere in their hearts.
They were the most sincere
in their
hearts when they left the prophet. They gave
me they gave their lives for him.
They left everything behind in Mecca, we believe.
They left their wives behind when the police
said, no, contact your wife. God, you can't
tell them. Believe them here. They're the ones
we told them there.
Their money and wealth,
well, they should leave everything new to go
to.
The people don't want to do, they share.
If they have more than one wife, they
would divorce the one wife and give it
to one of them.
So how will I get from them? They're
well, you cut it in half. We give
one after the people who came from.
People come to our country
from their countries where they are oppressed,
then this is what you what you should
do.
They're the purest hearts, this harbor,
and the most knowledge. They they didn't have
more knowledge on what we have. We
have more knowledge than the Sahaba.
The Sahaba knew the Hadith he knew and
maybe the Hadith that someone's hadith knew,
But we know every single Hadith.
We
know all the 4,400
Sahih Hadith
absolutely from the prophet.
We,
All of us can read in the time,
only
16 people could read.
16 people.
So what kind of knowledge did they have?
They had depth of knowledge. We had all
the knowledge,
but the depth of it, we don't have
because the depth of knowledge
was given to them directly from Allah to
the prophet to them.
What did that mean? What did that mean?
What did that mean?
Today, we have to say, oh, I have
to go to the dictionary. You have to
look up the.
They were there when the Quran was revealed.
They were present looking at the face of
the prophet when the Quran was
revealed.
They learned it and experienced the Quran
at first hand, straight from Allah straight from
the middle.
Those
who came off with the sahaba
like us in the,
we're only scratching the surface.
Well, then I'll be I swear to you
that we're only scratching the surface.
I look at myself. I'm gonna take myself
to the doctor.
I didn't even I don't even know a
quarter of 1 percentage.
What does a harmony?
A total quarter of 1 percentage.
And I told you before when I sit
in my library and I start reading the
books now which I couldn't read at the
time and I said once I open the
book and I read and say, yeah, no.
You're gonna know this.
You don't know this about the wudu?
SubhanAllah.
You don't know this about the salah SubhanAllah.
He didn't know this about fasting, this problem.
Because there is notice there is
I'm slowly trying to go into a little
bit of the disk.
And
the life of the Sahaba of the was
the way of the Quran.
Simple. We lived the Quran.
Now this is very important.
The Sahaba
Mac and Medina. Mac and Medina was cut
off from the rest of the world. Nobody
wanted to go to Mac and Medina.
No Greek wanted to go there. No Persian
wanted to go there.
They were like when the when the Quran
came, they were like empty dishes.
They were not influenced by Greek philosophy or
Persian philosophy. No. They could indeed write
down fresh brains,
fresh hearts.
And all those hearts, the Quran was revealed.
So they were untouched
by all the ideas of the so called
west at the time, the Greeks and the
Romans,
Persians,
the Indians, all these people, with knowledge around
it. These were all still clear
because they thought there was nothing there. So
the
of the the
the nature, the character of this Sahaba was
pure.
It
was absolutely
pure,
like a clean slate,
like a clean plate.
So
for them to accept Islam and practice Islam
was easy. They got to Islam. They were
not bothered by any other ideology
about
this psychology and that view. No. No. No.
No. No. They only had Islam.
What somebody else said, and even this the
Muslim will say, but, you know, there's another
view also on the sunnah.
And this, I think, maybe this this is
a not so we couldn't might start it.
So
although it's a complicated but
And the other man, I don't even ask
him.
Why not? And if they don't know, they
will say, I'll come at you. Well, they
will say where you can find
you?
Allah chose them to be the companions
of Muhammad's and
establish
establishes of the deed of Allah.
I
know this is a message I can repeat,
and I tried to repeat it in such
an end. It will go to your hearts.
It's actually important.
Go to your
hearts.
So
See, I'm good with my time. That's
fine. I didn't have a watch with me
today. I must say I lost my watch
there about a month ago,
and, I looked on the screen. I gave
my software.
And, again, I'm going to relook at, the
whole bug what was recorded.
