The slander spread against Sayda Aisha, a woman who experienced severe fever and cried profusely, led to a shocking announcement that Sayid Aisha had met her mother. The struggles of the past, including accusations of sexual violence and the deification of certain figures, led to a lack of humor and jokes, and the importance of legal privacy and not speculating on personal lives. The Sharia is a mercy system, with expiration orders and the rectification of the law, and is a mercy system with power differentials. The importance of not speculating on personal lives and not being the object of other people's actions is emphasized, and the use of Jesus as a means of empowerment is emphasized as a means of building up support for Islam's movement.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			We continue where we left off describing the
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:21
			5th year
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			of the Mubarak hijrah of the prophet,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			that the messenger
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			married Sayda
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			And it is also in this year that
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			spread their slander against.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			This episode was known as the episode of
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			Ifk.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			In an attempt to assail her chastity and
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			honor, they spread an evil rumor.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Briefly, the incident happened as follows.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			Seyda Aisha
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			accompanied Rasoolullah
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			on
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			one of his campaigns.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			On the return journey, the army encamped at
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			a certain place. Said Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			went into the wild to answer the call
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			of nature.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			On her way, the necklace broken was lost,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			but she only realized when she had returned
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			to
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			her hodaj. The hodaj is a
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			a kind of like a boxed in or
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			tented,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			room that's
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			on top of a camel that noble women
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			used to ride in, in the old days.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			She immediately,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			went back into the wild, in search of
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			her necklace.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			She spent quite a while searching for the
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			lost necklace. By the time she had returned
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			to the camp, the army had departed.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			She was very light in weight. Hence, the
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			bearers of her did not realize that it
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			was empty when they, foisted it back up
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			onto the camel.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			She sat down covering herself and fell asleep
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			knowing that when her absence
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			was discovered,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			they will return for her. The messenger of
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had appointed Sayyidina
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			Safwan radiAllahu
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			to trail behind the army. It was his
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			duty to retrieve any items that may have
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			been left behind or dropped by any members
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			of the party moving ahead.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			When he had arrived at the place where
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			the army had halted,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			and saw Sidaya Aisha
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			alone in the wilderness,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			he loudly exclaimed in astonishment,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			To Allah do we belong and to Him
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			shall we return.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			The sound of his voice woke her from
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			her sleep. When she saw Sayna Safwan
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			she immediately concealed her face because of the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			law of parda which had already been
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			revealed, which was a requirement that the Umaha
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			tul Munin,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			be screened from the, the general public.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Observing the greatest degree of respect and honor
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53
			for her,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			got off of his camel. He made the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			camel sit, and then had Saydah Aisha
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			mount the camel,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			And thus, they continued the journey with Sayida
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:03
			Safwan
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			leading the camel on foot. According to the
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			narration of Bukhari, which is in fact narrated
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			by Sayida Aisha
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			Not a word of conversation passed between them.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Before midday of the same day, Saydah
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			reached the messenger of Allah. This is the
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			entire unadulterated
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			episode which had transpired.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			However, the hypocrites taking advantage of this event
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			plotted to accuse Sayida Aisha of
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			having had an affair with Sayida
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			Safwan,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			and 3 simple Sahaba
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			whom,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			whose sincerity and integrity are unquestionable were also
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			unwittingly embroiled in this plot of the Munafiqeen.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			2 of them were males, said Mustah and
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			saidna Hassan and Fabbat
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			and one female said
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			Hamnatubnu Jash or Hamnatubnu Jash,
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			Saydah Aisha
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			was blissfully unaware of the slanderous rumors which
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			were floating
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			around. However, the messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			wasalam
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			having heard the rumor was overcome with grief.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			He consulted several companions on the issue. Every
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			one of them emphatically com proclaimed her innocence
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			and chastity chastity.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			Say the
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			Aisha,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			her servant girl, Barira
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			vehemently vouched for her honor and innocence.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			In spite of these assurances,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			the rumor, had been given such prominence that
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam was
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			affected by the lingering doubts.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			On the other side, said Aisha
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			was being consumed by grief and sadness. She
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			could not fathom the reason that the messenger
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's disposition had
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			become colder toward her. The former love seemed
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			to have disappeared.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			During this time, once she went out to
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			answer the call of nature, she was accompanied
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			by her friend who was also the mother
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			of the aforementioned mistak.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Along the way,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			said Aisha
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			was informed of the rumor by her friend.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			She
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			also apprised her of the scandal which was
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			raging
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			in regard to this throughout Medina.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			The shocking revelation had a disastrous effect on
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			Seda Aisha.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			Her already weakened body further suffered.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			She was overtaken by severe fever. She came
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			home and wept uncontrollably.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:27
			When
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			came home, she requested permission to go to
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			her parents' home and he gave her consent.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			When said that Aisha
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			had met her mother, she cried profusely. Her
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			mother tried to console her but to no
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			avail. She was heartbroken and distressed.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			At her mother's home, she cried and sobbed
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			for a day and 2 nights without stop.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			The messenger
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			visited her and said, oh, Aisha, if you
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			are chased, most assuredly, Allah most high will
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			exculpate you. And if you have erred, then
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			repent and Allah will forgive you.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			Said
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			Aisha
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			turning to her father said, Abu Bakr,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			said, father, answer on my behalf.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			He replied,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			what do I know? What can I say?
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			Said Aisha
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			had then turned her mother with the same
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			request. She too replied similarly.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			Thereupon, said the had
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			said, I was a young girl who had
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			not yet learned the Quran properly.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			Since the slander regarding me has settled in
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			your hearts, you will not even believe me
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			even if I proclaim my innocence.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Now I can say nothing other than what
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			Sayna Yusuf Alaihi Salam's father said.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			That that that
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			I have nothing left except for to
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			bear with a patience
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			that allows no complaining.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			And Allah Ta'ala is the one whose help
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			is sought, regarding, the fabrications
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			of the people.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			On account of sorrow, grief, and anger, she
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			was unable to remember Sayna Yaqub's name. Therefore,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			she said, the father of Yusuf Alaihi Mus
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			Salam.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			After making this brave stand, her tears dried
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			up.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			This is important because
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			many people,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			due to the
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			the hara for the family of the prophet
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, they even find the mention
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			of this story
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			disturbing or difficult to
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			mention or difficult to hear.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			It's definitely for me, I feel I feel
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			difficulty even,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			repeating the
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			accusations
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			that have come and gone and been proven
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			wrong 1400 years ago.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			Because nobody wishes to question the honor of
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			or say the Aisha radiallahu anha who was,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			the beloved one of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			and so innocent. You can see that she
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			was she was just a girl at the
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			time. And people,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			you know,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			heap their accusations on her
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			very, very
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			viciously
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			and with very little concern for what effect
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			it would have on her.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			And lest we think that these things are
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			not relevant, they're very relevant. We live in
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			the time of all those Me too and
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			all of these other movements which, you know,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			although I I mean, I don't I don't
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			agree with every aspect of them and I
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			think that a lot of it is just
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			going to end up being
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			a kind of a
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			a a violent storm that brings,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			little, conclusion or or helps neither to,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			the victims nor to, you know, toward bringing
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			perpetrators to justice.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			But
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			look at the, you know, look at the,
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			the same tactic that they used against the
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			family of the prophet
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			Let's say the Aisha
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			basically just the fact that she was a
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			woman was used as a
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			as a bludgeon against the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			wasallam. And people had in their minds that,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			oh, you know, she must be guilty of
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			whatever people accuse her of.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			And that's why our deen has such
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			such strong rules on both sides that one
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			should neither
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			be allowed leeway in order to accuse another
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			of zina or sexual impropriety,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			nor is one allowed leeway to allow themselves
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			to be subjected to it. And now, I
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			understand that,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			you know, there are some cases in which
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			a person
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			is subjected to sexual violence,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			by
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			circumstances that are completely
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			forced on them and by no fault of
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			their own. But there are a lot of
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			you know, between
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			what is completely right and what is completely
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			wrong, there's a lot of gray area in
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			the middle. And the gray area is where
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			most of life happens. And so you see
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			that, the dean, you know, rightly gives guidance
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:49
			for
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			for, you know, what a person should do
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			in order to save themselves from what's in
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			the gray area. At any rate, here is
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:56
			Sayid Aisha
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			who was
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			a,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			she was a I mean, at this time,
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			she was just an innocent girl. She was
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			not, you know, she she was not anything
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			other than that. I mean, imagine that she
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			was just forgetful and she forgot her,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			her, her necklace in the woods.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			And now all of these hypocrites are heaping
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			all of these accusations on her. And if
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			you think about it, you know,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			the fact that that that she had to
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			make this stand on her own, it in
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			of itself is a sign of her rank
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			in this ummah. Let's say that Aisha
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			the faba'il of which, you know,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			it's a completely separate volume, and it should
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			be it should be said, it should be
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			spoken about.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			Let's say the Aisha
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			if you look at the the the horrible
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			nature of this
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			of this, incident,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			that she she loved her husband and he
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			was the messenger of Allah, and she used
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			to memorize the Quran from him, and he
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			used to teach her, and she used to
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			serve Islam through serving her husband and also
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			by teaching the other women of Madinah Munawwara,
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			what she learned from the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			wa sallam
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			because of her superior intellect. And if you
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			look at the answers she gives even at
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			the young age that she was at at
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			this time,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			you can see that she has a superior
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			intellect. And you can see the signs of
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			that intellect, which will go on to become
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			one of the,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			foundational,
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			legal minds,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			for the the basis of the codification of
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			the Sharia
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			later on after the messenger
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			passes on.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			But, you know, think about her having to
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			go through all of this at this young
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			age
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			and in the context of the hadith of
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			That indeed
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			the those who are most severe in their
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			tribulations are the prophet salayahu alayhi wa sallatu
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			alsalam,
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			then those who are closest to them than
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			those who are closest to to them. That
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			she had to go through all of this,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			you know, this difficulty,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			And Allah Ta'ala brought great khair from it.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			He brought great good from it.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			When the inmates of the house were still
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			around,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			the most noble prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:10
			was
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			then
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			brought the wahi. He was brought the revelation.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			Allah, most high, is independent of all things,
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			and everything happens according to his wisdom. Hence,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			a full month had passed without the messenger
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			of Allah, salallahu alaihi wasallam, receiving any divine
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			directive in this matter. Now the beads of
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			perspiration, a sign of the progression of revelation,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			were forming on his Mubadik forehead,
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			said that Jibril, alayhi sallam appeared with 18
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			ayaat of Surat al Nur,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			in which Saida Aisha radhiallahu ta'ala Anha's innocence,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			purity, and chastity were emphatically asserted.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			Upon the cessation of revelation, the messenger, Allah
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			salallahu alayhi wasalam, smiled and informed Saydai Aisha
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:54
			of her innocence,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			which was announced by Allah most high. Her
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			joy knew no bound, and in a state
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			of
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			ecstatic elation, she expressed her gratitude to Allah
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:04
			most high.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			Meanwhile,
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			the most noble prophet
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			took his pulpit and his masjid.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			And after,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			giving a a lecture to the companions, he
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			recited the verses which were revealed to proclaim
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			the innocence of Seda Aisha and the Sharia's
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			law of punishment for slanderers of chaste women
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			was also announced.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			Thus the slanderers were each flogged 80 lashes.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			And this is,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			one of the great and mighty,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			fortifications
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			of our holy and sacred sharia
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			that we don't have,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			this kind of, schizophrenic attitude toward
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			sexuality
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			that seems to be
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			the
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			seems to seems to be the norm in
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			Western society.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			That on one side, there is
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:57
			wanton,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			and gratuitous,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			hyper,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:03
			over sexualization
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			of everything,
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			particularly using the female form in in order
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:08
			to sell everything.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			Anyone who's grown up over here knows that
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			in order to get the humor that people
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			you know, that's normal for people over here
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			in this country, you have to take every
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			expression and every wording and every situation
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			and assume the worst
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			mostly, in the sexual context.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			Otherwise, you're not gonna get any of the
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			jokes. So many of the jokes of the
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			people over here and people overseas just don't
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			get it because their mind doesn't think that
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:33
			way.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			So you have that on one side. And
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			on the flip side, you have a a
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:38
			hypersensitivity
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			to any sort of
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:41
			transgression
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			of what are essentially arbitrary sexual norms,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			to the point where,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			you know, 2 people can enter into some
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			sort of consensual relationship.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			But because there's a power differential between the
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			2 of them, that still can be classified
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			as abuse, which I
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			completely get that there are power differentials in
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			relationships. But the problem is that,
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			in such a case, then there are very
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			few relationships that are not abuse or not
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			prone or open to abuse,
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			which makes everything in life extremely problematic.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			And it's a very impractical system, and it's
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			a very arbitrary system. And so look at
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			look at the, the the deen of Allah
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			that people have their own. Every human being
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			is different. They have their own personal lives.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			And we don't,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			you know, we don't scrutinize other people's,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			most personal and private matters.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			And the Sharia is,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			the corpus of law that essentially introduces to
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			the world the concept of the right to
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			privacy.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			Whereas, other legal systems, including that that in
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			the west, you know, they have the idea
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:45
			of,
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			well, if you're not hiding anything,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			then there's, you know, there's nothing to be
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			afraid of, in terms of the state or,
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			the public's intrusion into your own private space.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			The idea is whatever happens inside of your,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			you know, inside of your private moments,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			those things are,
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			until and unless
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			some sort of super egregious and shameless,
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			something happens in which a person rapes another
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:12
			person,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			or a person commits an act of violence
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			against another person,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			or, you know, something happens that that that
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			that, you know,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			breaches certain,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:23
			objective,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:24
			standards.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			Other than that, you know, people's private business
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			is their private business. If it's good, then
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			they should thank Allah, And if it's bad,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			then they should repent and rectify it. But
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			under no circumstances are they too,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			divulge it to the public nor is the
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			public supposed to ask all the way to
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			the point where
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			if 2 people commit, the optimum course of
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			action according to most of the is for
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			them just to quietly repent and not not,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			confess to their sins in front of a
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			judge. And if 2 people commit and one
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			of them admits to it and the other
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			one doesn't, then the one that admits to
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			it will receive the lashes of and the
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			one who doesn't didn't
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			doesn't admit to it, that person will not,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			will not receive those lashes. And the person
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			who admits to it, if they
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			give the name of the person that they
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			committed zina with and that person doesn't want
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			to
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			be known for that, for that act,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			then unless they can bring 4 witnesses, they
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			have the added punishment of Qadaf, which is
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			of the false accusation of other people, Zina.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			To my knowledge, I don't know of anybody
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			in the entire history of Islam
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			that could meet the, evidentiary standards
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			of having 4,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			witnesses witness the act of * like the
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			thread goes through the eye of the needle,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			which is what's needed, you know, what's needed
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:40
			to
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			condemn a person to, zina without them admitting
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			it themselves in some way, shape, or form.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:47
			So,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			the point is is that the Sharia,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			there's a great mercy in it that it
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			covers these things.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			And this, shara of Allah,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			this commandment of Allah
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			of
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			not
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			accusing others of of of of of or
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			basically,
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			you know, using taunting them with regards to
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			their personal life, even matters that are dubious
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			in their personal life. There's a great mercy
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			in it because we can all now just
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			move on. Just get over it and move
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			on. That if someone did something
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			and it requires the,
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			the rectification of of of the law or
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			some legal remedy remedy
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			that is then carried out by a judge.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			And the general public need not speculate about
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			people's,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			personal life or worry about personal life,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			the personal lives of people. Everyone has their
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			own,
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			you know, their own things in their life,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			and we don't need people to, like,
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			you know, go and,
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			webcast what's, you know, the skeletons in everybody's
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			closet, especially with regards to these matters.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			And so, say, the Aisha
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			by her
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			having gone through this difficulty,
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			she herself then,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			is
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			the Mubarak occasion of,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			Allah ta'ala revealing,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			the the the sacred law with regards to
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			these things, which undoubtedly have helped a number
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			of people, helped millions of people,
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			over the centuries,
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			to not be subjected
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:15
			to
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			taunts and to not be subjected to speculations
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			with regards to their personal life and not
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			be allowed to be the object of other
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27
			people's ridicule or political vector with regards to
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			speculation about their their their personal life and
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			to have legal cover and legal recourse
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			against somebody who,
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			spuriously does that. And, I enjoin
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			myself and my, brothers and sisters not to,
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			not to delve into people's personal lives, rather
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			leave legal issues to their
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:47
			authorities and,
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			vouchsafe,
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			you know, the secrets that people have to
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and tell and unless,
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			there is something, very severe that breaches,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			certain objective standards,
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			with regards to violence and things like that.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:02
			So,
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			the most noble prophet
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			took the member in the masjid and after
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			a lecture that he gave to the companions,
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			he recited the verses which were revealed to
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			him to proclaim say the Aisha's innocence
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			and the Sharia's law
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:20
			of the
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			of of the punishment for slanderers of chaste
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			women was announced. Thus, the slanderers were flogged
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			80 lashes each.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			And that is the the the the Sharia
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			mandated punishment for anybody who
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			accuses,
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			another of
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			of basically, of committing Zina,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			whether it's a man or a woman.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			Any accusation of Zina that is not accompanied
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			either by
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			a, an admission from that side or by
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			4 witnesses that witnessed the, act, like the
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:52
			thread,
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			the thread going through the eye of the
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			needle or
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			a husband's own imprecation of his wife,
		
00:20:59 --> 00:20:59
			other than,
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			any of those
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			any of those situations.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			Anyone who commits any who accuses anyone else
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			of Zina,
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			is is subjected to this
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			this punishment,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			under the purview of a a sovereign government
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			and a judge.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			And, this is a great mercy for mankind.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			And this is also has to do with
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			your tasawaf as well. One of the and
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			one of the foundational principles
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			of is It's a good hadith to
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			to memorize and it's a good hadith to
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			mention to one another.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:40
			The
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			great Maliki Faqih and Muhadith.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			He mentions in his opinion that, the wisdom
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:46
			of Islam,
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			can be summarized by 4 hadiths that are
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			like reins,
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			that are like reins that tie up the
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			wisdom of Islam. And one of those 4
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			hadiths he mentions was
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			From the beauty of the Islam of a
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			person
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			is they're leaving those things that don't
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			have any importance or relevance to them.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			So don't speculate about people's lives. Don't worry
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			about people's lives. If it's good, if it's
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			bad, if it's ugly, if it's strange, whatever
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			it is, whatever happens in people's bedrooms,
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			they close their doors when those things happen
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			for a reason. It's not your business to,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			get involved in it or speculate about it
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			or give your opinion about it or whatnot.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			And may Allah
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			who himself is a satar,
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			the one who covers over the faults of
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			the creation. May he also,
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			cover our faults as well, each of us
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			as individuals.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			And the person who's ashamed of whatever sin
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			they do behind closed doors rather than being
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			a bad person, the fact that they have
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			their shame is a sign of their iman.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			And, whoever,
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			doesn't go out and openly,
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			declare and
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			proclaim their their their
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			and their indecencies,
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			like is,
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			the norm, in the time and the place
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			that we live in. That person, Allah ta'ala,
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			because of that shame, Allah will forgive them.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			So don't try to pull the sitter from,
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			the cover and the hijab from other people,
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			lest Allah pull it from from you and
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			humiliate you as well. Allah protect us from
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			such a scary,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			possibility.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			Hazar Sheikh continues. He says that the battle
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			of the handak of the trench also took
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			place in this 5th year.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:22
			The Sahaba,
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			as well as the most noble prophet sallallahu
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			alaihi wa sallam had themselves dug the trench.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			It is for this reason it is called
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			the battle of the trench. The huge trench
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			was dug on the advice of Sayna Salman
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			al Farisi
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			The famous episode of Sayna Jabir's invitation happened
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			during the time the trench was being dug.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			While digging, Sayna Jabir
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			noticed that the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			wa sallam had a stone tied to his
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			stomach, as did the rest of those who
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			were digging the trench because it was something
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			done on emergency.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:56
			And,
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			Madinumuwara,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			they were in short supply of food anyway.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			The fact that all of them had to
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			leave their, agricultural,
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			work and start digging the trench in emergency
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			mode meant that there was nothing to eat.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			He had hastened to his house and instructed
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			his wife to prepare whatever food there was.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			He explained to her the dire straits of
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			the messenger of Allah
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:19
			hunger.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			A goat which they owned was slaughtered and
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			some dough was kneaded.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:28
			Sayna Jabe radiallahu anhu then invited the most
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			noble prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam for a meal
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			adding that 1 or 2 companions could also
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			come along. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			wasallam
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			inquired about the quantity of food when he
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			was told how much food there was,
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			he commented that that was that was
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			a great amount. The messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			alaihi wasallam then addressing all of the diggers
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			in the trench said Jabir had invited you
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			all, let's go.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			He instructed say in Jabir not to remove
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			the pot from the stove until he had
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			arrived and
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			that the bread should not be baked until
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			he has arrived. The Messenger of Allah salallahu
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			alayhi wasalam then set off with all of
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			the Sahaba radiallahu on whom who were digging
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			the trench to Sayna Jabbir's home. Meanwhile, say
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:13
			the Jabir ran home in anxiety.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			He told his wife that the most noble
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:19
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was bringing along the
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			entire army to eat.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			Full of concern, she said, I will be
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			put to shame in front of all. The
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			food is very little. She asked, did he
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			inquire about the quantity of food when Sayna
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			Jabir radiallahu anhu told her that he did,
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			and that the most noble prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			wa sallam was apprised of the quantity of
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			food, she felt relieved and felt confident.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			Soon thereafter, the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			wasallam arrived at the home of Sayidna Jabir
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			radiallahu anhu. He blew on the food and
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			on the dough. A short while later, the
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			food was ready to be served, and the
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam advised them
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			to eat at leisure. A 1,000 guests ate
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			and there still remained food. This is indeed
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			a marjazah or miracle of the messenger of
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			Allah The the story,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			in slightly more detail was that the messenger
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			of Allah
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			told them,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			those who are preparing the meal
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:13
			to,
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			not
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			look at the the food rather to have
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			the pot covered
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			and just keep pouring out food from it.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			And to not look at the bread but
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			just have the the basket where the bread
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			was covered and slip their hand in and
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			pull keep pulling out bread. And,
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			then the army was invited in 10 at
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			a time. Each of them ate their fill
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			and then the next 10 would go and
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			then the next 10 would go.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			And all of them ate their fill and
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			the the pots and the baskets were still
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:41
			full.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			And then the people of the house ate
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			their fill and then the pots in the
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			baskets were still full, and then they, distributed
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			the rest of the, the rest of the
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			food to the neighbors, all of the neighbors
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			on all sides, of the house. And there
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			are many similar muhajizat of the messenger of
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with regards to
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			a miraculous,
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			increase in food.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			And this is the help of Allah ta'ala
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			and the barakah that comes when it's most
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			needed.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			That,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			literally,
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			the largest or one of the largest armies
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			that the Arabian Peninsula had ever seen,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			had gathered together 10,000
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			strong in order to siege Medina Munawara.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			Amongst them were
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			basically ravagers. They were just
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			Bedouins who were just basically there to,
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			loot and pillage,
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:32
			the city,
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			in the case of victory.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			And,
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			the trench held them off.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			And it's very beautiful how,
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was aided
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			by
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			Allah with the food.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			He was aided with the wind that the
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			that the the the cold and biting,
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			dry desert wind
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			had completely, at some point, thrown the Mushrike
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			and his tents into chaos.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			The messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:02
			was
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			was aided by, one of the chieftains of
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			the Ahazab of the Confederate army that was
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			sieging Medina, that he had
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			quietly slipped into the Muslim camp and presented
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			his Islam to the messenger of Allah, salallahu
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			alaihi wa sallam, and asked what service could
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			he be of. And the Messenger of Allah
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told him to,
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			go back to the camp of the Mushrikeen,
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			and the Banu Qureba, which was a tribe
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			of,
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33
			Jews that was allied with the prophet sallallahu
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			alaihi wa sallam. They had forsaken in the
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			middle of battle. They had forsaken their, their
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			alliance with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			and failed to appear in the defense of,
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			their neighbors in Madinah Munawwara. Rather, they stayed
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			neutral and allowed the Ahazab to siege Madinah
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			Munawwara.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:49
			So,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:50
			this chieftain
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:51
			went
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:52
			to
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			went to, Abu Sufyan, who was a commander
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			of the confederated army and said that, you
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			know, I suspect that the the Jews of
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			Medina are going to repair their relations with,
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			the the the Muslims.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			So you should ask them
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:08
			for,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			you should ask them for some sort
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			of some sort of a guarantee that they
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			give, like, the sons of their noblemen to
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			you as a guarantee
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			that they're not going to betray you.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			And,
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			then he went to the the Jews of
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			Banuk Qureba also
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			and, told them that I suspect treachery from
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:29
			the,
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			from the Confederates. They're gonna ask you for
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			something for your sons, and they're gonna give
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			them up to the Muslims and just
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			sell you out. And,
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			basically, it broke their it broke their confederation
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			into pieces.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:44
			And,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			it became so bad that at some point,
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			said Nachuday Fatublul Yaman, who the messenger of
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			Allah
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			sent in this completely cold
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			and completely,
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			hungry state to go and do reconnaissance on
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			the camp of the Mushrikeen.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			He said that he said that the messenger
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:04
			of
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			asked for a volunteer and
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			everybody was so spent
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			there, it was difficult for them to volunteer
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			for this mission. And, the messenger of Allah
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, isn't Hoseifa here? And
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			he said, yes, You Rasool Allah. He says,
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			why don't you go? He said that once
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			the messenger of Allah gave me the order
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			to go, he said, I no I no
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			longer felt, cold.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			He said that I felt, I felt,
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			no longer weak and I no longer felt
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			cold. He said by the time he had
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			gotten to the the camp of the the
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:33
			confederates,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:36
			he just saw Abu Sufyan,
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			in a rage and in a fury, that
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			he thought that the, Jews of Banu Koreydda
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			were, were going to betray him.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			And so he angrily said,
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			I'm I'm out of here. You guys can
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			keep the siege if you want to. And,
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			he just broke camp, loaded up his stuff,
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			and was basically storming back to Makamukarama,
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			which is incredibly
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			incredibly harmful for morale
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:04
			for the for the army to see their
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			leader, essentially,
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			abandoned camp,
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			having been
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			broken in his morale,
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			personally.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			And this is all the help of Allah
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			Islam
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			so many points Allah Ta'ala gave his help.
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			Islam was completely
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			weak in the world of Asbaab. They could
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			have overrun everything.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			But when the help of Allah comes,
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			Allah sends it, and he he gives, like,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			the expression in the Quran.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			By through his armies, by his soldiers that
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			that that you're not able to see.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			Meaning Allah makes all of these things come
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:41
			together.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:42
			And,
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			this is all the signs of the providential
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:47
			and miraculous
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:48
			empowerment
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			that Allah gave to
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			the noble city of Madinah and its noble
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			people, the companions of the messenger of Allah
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			and its most noble
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			inhabitants, Sayedna Rasool Allah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:00
			And whoever,
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			whoever takes his oath of allegiance with that
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, that person
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			is in a Mubarak silsula, and that person,
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			whoever takes an oath of allegiance with the
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, has taken hold of
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:13
			the
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:18
			of the the the the most,
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			the most firm,
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			of of of
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			of handholds,
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			that one that which will never that one
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			which will never break. Allah
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			give us dufiq to be from amongst them.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			That we should also eat from the barakat
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			of,
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			Allah to Allah, especially Inaya with the messenger
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40
			of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. That we
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			should also make struggle and sacrifice in order
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:43
			to,
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			in order to
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			advance the cause of this deen,
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			for which the Nabi
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			used to wake in in the morning and
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			sleep at night, and, for which he used
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			to cry and weep, and for which his
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			happiness, and for his which his anger, and
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			for which his
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			patience was. Allah
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:02
			give all of us so much
