The transmission of the sunGeneration is crucial in shaping people's perception of reality and the potential for breaking apart. It is also used in various narratives, including deeds and the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's teachings. The importance of knowing the path of degeneracy and breaking apart is real, and a program is coming up that encourages people to bring their own hadiths and bring their own hadiths to the program.

All praises to Allah and may his peace
and blessings be upon his servant and messenger.
Our master, Sayedna Muhammad
Said now, Abdullah bin Abbas
It's narrated by Imam Muslim in the Sahih.
That
used to teach the companions
the following dua.
Just like he used to teach them a
surah from the Quran.
Meaning what? It's not part of the Quran,
but it's something very important. The transmission of
which is a core part of the deen.
Without the transmission of which,
some part of the deen is missing.
He used to teach them
that they should say,
they should pray, they should supplicate constantly. Oh
Allah,
I seek refuge in you from the torment
of the * fire. And I seek refuge
in you from the torment of the grave.
And I seek refuge in you from the
torment of the false messiah.
And I seek refuge in you from the
torment and the punishment of life and of
death.
Abdullah bin Abbas radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu is one
of the most prolific hadith
narrators
from
the
Rasul primarily because of two things. 1 is
because of his
eagerness to learn
that he would
sit at the doors of the senior companions
even after the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam passed
away.
And he would learn from them to the
point where his
colleagues
and his peers
would ask him, what are you doing?
And they themselves realized what he was doing
when they witnessed the day when all the
elders had passed.
So he gathered a great amount of information.
The second reason is
because
he was
given a special position by the messenger of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam and then thereafter by
Sadna Abu Bakr Sadna Amar alaihi allahu and
whom beyond his age because of his understanding
of things.
So not only was he a good student
in his youth, he was also a prolific
teacher when he
grew older.
From amongst the canonical narrators from Abdullah bin
Abbas who is an individual, one of the
imams of the salaf,
his name is Tawus
It said that Tawus
who was a transmitter of the Quran, he
was a transmitter of hadith, he was a
transmitter of he was a transmitter of all
the core
disciplines of Islamic learning.
That Tawus was of the opinion that the
salat is not valid without this dua being
read. Now, this is not of
the
the the the sunnah that are currently still
extent.
So what I'm saying is not a fiqhiyu
opinion
in that sense. But the idea is what
these people were not lightweights.
It's important. It's something that's important.
If you were to get the impression that
this
dua without it, the prayer is not valid.
Whether the prayer is valid with the dua
or not,
we should understand what that this dua is
something very important. It's part of the sunnah.
It's part of the deen.
What was it that his Ustad, his teacher
Abdullah bin Abbas said
that the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to
teach the people this dua
like he used to teach
them? A surah from the Quran.
And so it's narrated that Tawus in his
later life
held that this was such an important dua
for people to make
that his son once when he had prayed,
he asked him did he make this dua
in your tashahood?
And his son said no. He says go
repeat your prayer.
He said go repeat your prayer.
And although like I said from the 4
of,
the sunnah that are extent to this day,
it's not considered a an integral part of
the prayer by any of them. But even
myself, when I read Maliki Fik and Mauritania,
it's like it's in the the the, you
know, the first book that you read where
they teach, like, kids how to pray.
It's there in the duas that are said
in the afterword.
It's there. It's it's included and it's still
taught to this day to children.
What's the point of mentioning this? That the
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam from
our great
the khatima of the her father of Hadith.
The
photographic memory. He memorized every book in the
library.
One of the most insightful comments that he
he made was that if you wanna know
what Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was thinking or
how at least have an insight into what
the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was thinking when
he did a particular thing,
Look at the dua that he would make
when he would do that thing and it
will give you an insight of what he
was thinking. But the dua of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi other than being a powerful connection
between
the slave and the Lord and a means
to obtaining
protection and a means to obtaining enhancement and
a means to obtaining
raising of station and all of these other
wonderful things. It's also a means to obtaining
knowledge and understanding.
That this was something that was really important.
The remembering
of
what the and what the conditions that this
world will end in are very important.
The remembering of the events that will lead
up to that
are very important. They're not just a tale
that we tell them to scare children.
Or for some sort of entertainment like Muslim
Halloween type event.
Understanding these things is understanding the very roadmap
of how things are going to break apart.
Every generation every generation
believed and is obliged to believe that this
may be it. This may be the last
generation.
And due to this fact,
the Muslims have been extremely, extremely good at
what?
At heading off problems at the past and
healing breaks and ruptures
where they occur.
We know
by
statistics,
everything will fail one day. The fact that
it's possible that things can fail means that
if you roll the dice, you know, 6
times, you're gonna hit 6 at least one
of them.
That's
basic probability. I mean, in real life, it's
not necessarily guaranteed. But the point is if
you keep in rolling the dice, eventually you're
gonna hit 6. That's just the way that
works.
However, the knowledge of how these things are
going to break apart is of great benefit
to us. Why? Because we can
know what the path of degeneracy is. Sometimes
knowing the path of degeneracy is just as
important as knowing the path of righteousness. Why?
Because what happens is sometimes you ignore the
telltale signs of degeneracy, and you're not able
to do anything about it until it's too
late.
When you're on the
operating table in the ER,
and they're cutting your heart open, this is
not the time to say, you know what?
I'm gonna change my diet and and do
more exercise.
Why? Because that discussion, you're a day late
and a dollar short.
Abu Hurair, radiya Allah, one who it's narrated
by,
the Muaddithun,
an Asahi narration.
That he used to,
he used to say to his young
his young students because he also lived
through the era of the Khalafar Rashidun.
Through the era of Said Muhammed radiAllahu anhu.
He used to say to his young students
that, oh, young man. It's possible that one
day you will, meet,
the, saidna Isa alaihis salaam. So if you
meet him, tell him my salaam.
Now why would he say that?
Why would he say that? Why? Because a,
it's he wanted to send salam to Sayna
alaihis salam at some point. This is something
understandable. All of us would wish to do
so if we were able to.
But more more importantly,
what is it? It's on his behalf. What
that he he can show his students that
this is something real. It's something that's going
to happen. It's something that you should have
Yaqeen in. That you should have certainty in.
And this is why the ulama considered this
to be from the Al Qaeda of Islam.
So I had a couple of hadith regarding
the last day that I wanted to,
share.
And we're, running low on time, but we
have this program that's coming up,
in,
tonight and tomorrow.
And you're encouraged.
You're required by the dean to this knowledge
whether you come to this particular program or
another program is up to you. But you're
encouraged to come and bring other people that
we narrate from
Shall I not tell you or narrate you
a hadith? I heard from the messenger of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that nobody will
narrate to you after me. Uh-uh.
It
says,
that from the signs of the last days
that knowledge will disappear.
And and there will be the preponderance, not
just ignorance will not just appear because there
are always ignorant people. But ignorance is going
to one of the meanings of is what?
It's going to gain the upper hand
over knowledge. The preponderance of ignorance
and the
proliferation of
of
unlawful sexual relations.
The proliferation of wine and the proliferation of
intoxicants.
That you won't see men anymore. Doesn't mean
that you won't see male, but you won't
see a man. Somebody who stands and takes
responsibility for his family, for his nation, for
his people, for his
And you'll see that there will be no
one left except for women. To the point
that what? That for every 50 women, there
will be one responsible man to take care
of them and ask how are you doing?
How are you doing? And again, this doesn't
mean that men are necessarily gonna magically disappear.
But you will see that men are so
disempowered and they themselves are so emasculated that
they're not going to stand, take care of
their family, take care of their masjid, take
care of their country, take care of their
neighborhood, take care of their neighbors, take care
of anything. Rather, everyone's gonna be every man
for himself. They're gonna disappear like salt disappears
into water.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give us tawfiq, to
learn and benefit and to protect ourselves and
to heal the things that are broken. And
if we were destined to see what it's
supposed to look like when these things are
are going to happen, that he give us
firmness that we're the one and we're not
from the 50.
