Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Daily Lesson Shaykh Hamzah Maqbul A Bequest of One Sunnah.

The authority of it. And the Arabad ibn

Musaia,

may Allah be pleased with him, who said

that one day the messenger of Allah

he, led us in prayer, and then he

turned toward us with his,

noble face

And then he preached to us,

a great exhortation,

exhortation full of meaning. Such an exhortation

that the

eyes,

tears was started flowing from the eyes

and the hearts, trembled in fear,

from that exhortation.

So a man stood up and said, oh,

messenger of Allah,

it seems that this is a a farewell,

a farewell talk you're giving us, a farewell

exhortation that you're giving us.

So what do you, leave for us as

a a set of instructions? And the messenger

of

Allah then said,

I give you as a

I I I give you as a bequest

that you should fear Allah

and that you should hear and you should

obey

even if your leader is a an Abyssinian

slave.

This is, obviously

in the context of Jahiliyyah, that they are

people who are

so obsessed with people's lineage and so obsessed

with tribalism,

that they say that they used to say

in Jahiliya,

you know, me and my

me and my tribe against the other tribe,

me and my cousin against the rest of

my tribe, and me and my brother against

my cousin.

That's how obsessed they were with lineage. And

here's the Nabi

said what? That whatever situation you're in,

there it is a sunnah to follow whoever

is, in in authority over you, even if

that person is an Abyssinian slave, meaning the

lowest person they know in their Jakhani tribal

system. According to the Jakhani tribal system, he's

the lowest person that they know, but according

to Islam, even if you detest the person

because of your Jahiliyah so much, you must

still hear and obey. And obviously, the exception

to that is if someone in authority over

you should tell you to do something haram

or, force you to try to or try

to force you to abstain from something which

is an obligation of the deen, then you

don't listen. But anything else other than that,

it is the, sunnah of the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wasallam that people should hear and obey

because in the obedience to even a corrupt

ruler

and those things that are not corruption,

there is great benefit in this sunnah of

the prophet

So he says, I give to you as

a bequest that you should fear Allah and

that you should hear and obey even if

the one over you is an Abyssinian slave.

For verily whoever amongst you will live after

me, that person will see great strife.

For for that person will see great strife.

So incumbent upon you is to follow my

sunnah and the sunnah of those righteous people

and well guided people who will come after

me. It's incumbent upon you to follow my

sunnah and literally the sunnah of mine. The

the the people I leave behind after me

who are well guided and who

are a righteous people,

hold fast to their sunnah. Hold fast to

that sunnah and grab onto it with the

molar teeth. The molar teeth are the the

the teeth in the back, meaning, even if

you have to bite onto it

to to to keep hold of it, never

let that go.

And this is very important. This is important

to understand why. We mentioned this yesterday.

Are

the of what? Of Ma.

They are the group that are the ones

upon which the prophet

said, I'm upon it and my companions are

upon it. Everybody claims that they follow the

prophet

from the,

from the different groups and different sects, but

72 of them will be in fire and

one of them will be in Jannah. The

one that's in Jannah is one who follows

what? Both the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

wa sallam

and his companions

And here we're also seeing that the messenger

of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says it's

1 sunnah. The sunnah of the messenger of

Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and the sunnah

of his rightly guiding successors. It's one sunnah.

It's seamless. There's no break between any of

them. Why is it that we read?

The form that we read

it's never it's there's no documented evidence from

the hadith that you'll find that it was

prayed in that form.

But it is a sunnah instituted by

Amar and who because of the basir

gave him

in understanding the sunnah from an Usuli level.

So he instituted it, and the Mila of

Islam didn't didn't,

reject it from him, rather they embrace it.

Why is it that there are 2,

adans in the,

salatuljumma'a?

One adhan when the time comes in, and

one adhan when the imam sits in the

pulpit.

It's not a, rather it's a sunnah, a

khalifa rashid of the messenger of Allah sallallahu

alaihi wa sallam.

It is a sunnah of 1 of the

righteous righteous and rightly guided, well guided

successors of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

wasallam.

And those people that those,

their sunnah is the sunnah of the prophet

sallallahu alaihi wasallam. The sunnah of Sayna Abu

Bakr have having compiled the entire

Qur'anic text in one form that will later

be standardized by Sayna

Nobody ever called us nobody in their right

mind ever called it a and definitely nobody

from the at the sunnah or jama'a ever

called it a. And this is the beauty

of the the the the claim of authority

and righteousness of the aatlas sunnah is undisputable.

Why? Because even those people who

and

They don't have any Quran except for the

one that they get from them.

So if you're cursing them, you're cursing your

own Quran. If you the beauty of them

is that there's so many things, even those

those people many of the people who have

bad things to say about them, when be

our protection,

those people, their forefathers were delivered the message

of Islam by the very people that they

cursed. It's as if they're cursing the Islam

that they claim to practice themselves. It makes

no sense whatsoever, and this is a blessing

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the deep tradition

of the tradition

that bequeathed to us by the The

greatest blessing it gives us is it makes

sense. It's something that doesn't make a fitna

between our brain and between our heart. So

the Nabi

says, hold fast to that tradition,

as much as you're able to and bite

onto it with your molar teeth.

If if you need to, never let it

go. And then he says

and and I warn you regarding newly invented

matters. Regarding religion,

you can make an airplane and an automobile,

that's fine. But somebody who says something new

about aqidah that our forefathers didn't say before

us, the sahaba

and the prophet

or regarding the the acts of worship. Those

are the 2 things in which there's a

bida. There's no bida in anything else that

that's detestable.

Those two things, the

and the of the Muslim, says that I

warn you regarding newly invented matters in those

meaning in those two fields.

For very every newly invented matter,

is a, is a impious innovation,

and every impious innovation is a form of

misguidance. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us

amongst those who, hold firm to the sunnah

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and

his rightly guided successors,

even if we need to bite onto it

with our molar teeth.

Finally, this word bida'ah has been,

thrown around so much

by some people who don't have, you know,

the greatest education in in in Islamic knowledge

in the world, and it's become thrown around

to the point that it's turned into a

joke. Everything has become

and the word has no meaning anymore. And

there are many things that people in America

for some reason seem to call

and they're not they're just legitimate differences of

opinion amongst the ulama.

And so a person if you're not a

scholar,

if you're not a scholar trained in the

ghusl, refrain from calling things that you don't

know about. If someone were to say that,

okay, we worship a second god, then you

can say, yes. This is a this is

not part of the original, teachings of the

prophet.

So it says out loud or doesn't say

out loud or is, you know, you know,

fasting on one day or fasting on another

day or a 100 other things which may

be but they may not be, but you

don't know, just leave it alone. Allah won't

ask you about it. Don't cheapen the deen

by saying something that you have no illim

about, so that afterward people will go and

laugh at the entire sharia. That's not what

it's supposed to be. There is something called

a bida, an enticed innovation. Leave it to

the scholars to delineate what those things are

and take it from them, inshallah.

Don't make fun of the idea. It's not

a funny idea. The prophet himself is talking

about it. That being said, know that not

everybody who throws the word around knows exactly

what they're talking about.
