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.
