Who is,
one of the of Medina.
He is considered to be the most learned
in terms of,
and,
Quran and hadith and technical matters
from amongst the Tabi'in,
who
narrates from his,
father
that,
Abu Talib when
death
approached him.
The Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam entered in
upon him
and, he found that Abu Jahl was already
there.
And the prophet
said, oh my uncle,
say,
there's no god except for Abuham.
Such a word that I will be able
to argue on your behalf.
On your behalf with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
by it.
Are you on your behalf meaning I'll be
able to intercede for you on the day
of judgement?
Abu Jahl then said,
and Abdullah bin Umayyah
uh-uh
then said to Abu Talib, oh, Abu Talib,
you turn away from the millah of Abdul
Muttalib.
So this was Jahiliyah. What was Jahiliyah that?
Their forefathers
their forefathers were very important to them and
so
he they're reminding him about Abdul Muttalib. And
Abdul Muttalib, even though the ulama say that
he wasn't a worshiper of idols,
but he was somebody who still let the
system run. He didn't
oppose the system at any at any
rate.
So they said that that he's saying to
you to say
and, that's against the system that was under
the watch of Abdul Muttalib.
Now note,
Abu Jahl doesn't care who Abdul Muttalib is.
It's not even a sincere saying. Right? We
were teaching the kids in the Maktab about
Syria, today
that,
Toseibin Khilab, who was the first
ruler of Makkah from the Quraysh,
he has 2 sons, Abdul Manath and Abdul
Dar.
Abdul Manath is the progenitor of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and half of the
Qurayshmi is confederate
are the confederates of that that,
of that, line.
And Abdallah is the other son of Qusay,
and,
the other half of Quraish are the confederates
of of of that line. So,
Abu Jahl is from the Abdul Dar side.
He doesn't even care about Abdul Muttalib Aslan.
They respected him, but he wasn't one of
their own forefathers.
So he's just a shaitan and he's in
there just to mess with him basically.
He has no,
you know, no he doesn't have anything, in
mind for the best well-being of, Abdul Abdul
Abdul Talib. But he's saying what? He says,
are you gonna turn away from the millah
of Abdul Muttalib?
And so what happens is this back and
forth keeps happening between the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam in between,
these 2, individuals who are there, at the
deathbed of Abu Talib,
until
the last thing that Abu Talib said was
what?
On the on the of Abdul Muttalib,
and then he died. So messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, indeed, I will
seek forgiveness for you,
as long as I'm not,
forbidden
from doing so.
And the ayah then comes down,
from Surat Tawba
that Allah says it it's not appropriate for
the nor is it appropriate for those who
believe
to seek forgiveness for the polytheists
even if those people are near relatives.
After, it is clear that those people are
from the people of the fire. And it
also was revealed that also came down,
that you are from Surat Al Qasas that
you are not going to be able to
guide who you will.
Rather Allah guides whoever he wishes and he
has,
he has most knowledge of who he guides.
And it's a hadith narrated by Muslim as
well. And so from amongst the the the
number of lessons that we learned from this
is be careful what kind of friends and
company you keep.
They can literally screw this stuff up at
the last minute. Literally, they can screw these
things up at at the last minute. Be
careful. Be careful how you give the tarbia
to your children and to your, you know,
your spouses,
husbands to wives, wives to husbands.
There are people who have left this world
in a very bad situation because of the
people that they've chosen to keep around them.
And death comes to a person sometimes when
they know about it, sometimes when they don't.
If you don't prepare for it, it can
be very bad. One of my father's friends,
he,
his
wife, converted to Islam,
but they never really,
I guess, seems that they never really, followed
up on that a whole lot. And so,
he died of cancer after having 2 children,
who are maybe, you know, 1015
years old, something in between that. And what
happened was after he died, his wife, she
kind of freaked out and reverted to her
kind of Catholic, origin.
And they buried him. They they buried him
in the Catholic cemetery with cross inside
of the inside of the grave.
And although obviously, you know, if he died
on Islam, you know, that doesn't mean that
he's a Catholic because they threw a cross
into his his casket. But it's bad. It's
not a good thing. And there's some bad
effects of that as well.
And,
these are things people have to worry about.
They have to think about. That's one of
the reasons
the prophet forbid a person to,
spend more than 2 nights or 3 nights
without having written a wasiye. Wasiye is not
just a will about how your stuff is
gonna be divided. Although we have to write
that in this country as well because they
don't automatically divide your estate according to sharia.
We also have to leave instructions about how
we're to leave,
and bad things happen. And, you know, we
have, examples about it, but you then you
don't wanna talk about it so because you
don't want to,
you know, further increase the grief of a
bereaved family. But, you know, bad things do
happen. So a person should be careful
about what company they keep in their life
and in their death and what's gonna happen
with that. And Abu Talib,
on the cusp of of receiving
a from the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
And, it was stolen from him from having
these these kind of, creepy people around him
at the wrong time. Allah makes all of
his choices in his universal hikmah. But, you
know, it's a hadith to the prophet
The happy one is the one who takes
a listen lesson from other people's misfortunes.
So Allah
protect us.
