So we continue the regarding

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

the chapter regarding the virtue of

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

praying in the night.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

The.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

Salem, the son of Abdullah bin Omar,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:54

Anhuma,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

he

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

Salam narrates from his father, Abdullah bin Omar,

00:00:59 --> 00:00:59

that

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

he said that the messenger of Allah,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

the prophet

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

said, what a wonderful man is, Abdullah. He

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

he praised him even though he's a young

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

he's a young man.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

He was, like a teenager.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

He he came by and he praised him.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

He said, what a wonderful man is Abdullah.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

If only he would wake up and pray

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

in the night.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

If only he would wake up and pray

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

in the night. And, Abdullah,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

Ibno Ammar,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

his son Salim says that after that,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

he said my father, didn't used to sleep

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

the whole night again.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

He used to sleep a little bit and

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

he would pray a lot.

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

Narrates

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

and narrates that the messenger of Allah, sallallahu

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

alaihi wa sallam, once said to him, oh,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

Abdullah,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

don't be like so and so who used

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

to wake up in the night and pray,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

or who used to, pray some part of

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

the night, and then afterward, he left or

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

he stopped praying,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

in the night.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

Who's an interesting Sahabi. He's one of the

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

first people to accept Islam.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

His father will become a Muslim, but then

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

he'll become Muslim later.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

Was Muslim, one of the first people who

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

accepted Islam while in

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

in in Makkumu Karama. His father will accept

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

Islam when

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

somewhere, like, like, 5th or 6th year after

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

Hijra, so much later. But But he's also

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

an interesting

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

in the sense that,

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

that the age gap between him and his

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

father is only 13 years.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

And so they both, after his father accepted

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

Islam, they both, like, basically lived and died

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

together. Rasulullah

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

told him, don't don't get cocky because yours,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:00

because he's senior to his father in Islam.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

You know, uh-uh

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

uh-uh that that that he's your father. You

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

still have to respect him. You you know,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

this the he did say it's explicitly, but

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

the the idea is that just because you're

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

senior to him in Islam doesn't mean that

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

his right as a father is is any

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

less. In fact, uh-uh, because of this wasi

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, this is

00:03:16 --> 00:03:16

why Abdullah bin Amr bin Asr will side

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

with

00:03:23 --> 00:03:23

with,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

with Muawiyah in the

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

in the in in the

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

fitna that happened between the Sahaba.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

Said al Hassan

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

later on,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

he will,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

he will,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

in Madina,

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

he will feel some some

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

discomfort

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

meeting with those people who sided against his

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

father.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:49

And so,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

someone from the will,

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

will, and I forget who exactly, but someone

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

from the will

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

say to him that that, will I hide

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

this

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

Abdullah bin,

00:04:06 --> 00:04:06

Amar.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

He has so much love and so much

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

veneration for you even though you feel like

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

he opposed you and your father, but you

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

don't understand how much respect he has for

00:04:14 --> 00:04:14

you.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

And so he's you remember this as well

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

that he's not only senior to his own

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

father in Islam,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

but he's also senior to Al Hassan and

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

Hussein in Islam as well. They weren't due

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

they were, like, you know, he accepted Islam

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

years before they were born, years before even,

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

Al Hassan and Hussain and their parents got

00:04:30 --> 00:04:30

married.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

And so what happens is that that he

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

facilitates and arranges for them to meet. And

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

so Hassan asked him,

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

do you is it true that you have

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

great respect for myself and for my father?

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

He says, yes. Of course. It is. You're

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

the the family of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

wasallam. How could it be any different? So

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

then why did you side against why did

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

you side against us, in the fitna?

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

And he says, because the messenger of Allah

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

sallallahu alaihi wasallam, when my father accepted Islam,

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

he told me

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

that now I want you to keep your

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

father's company and not leave it.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

And if it wasn't for that, so many

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

times I wanted to crossover and and join

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

the other side. But his father and Sayid

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

al Muawiyah were were tight, like, even from

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

before Islam and things like that, and so

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

the the 2 of them operated together. They

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

were inseparable. So he said because of that,

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

I had to stay with my father.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:17

And,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

said El Hassan was not entertained by that

00:05:20 --> 00:05:20

answer, but,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

the the story drags on. But you see

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

the, Ajib, the strange even, in their opposition

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

for one another,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

how much, love they have for one another.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

And they don't pull the rank of seniority

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

or this and that. They don't rank and

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

seniority on each other in order to cut

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

each other off. Like, I'm wrong and you're

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

right. How dare you say this to me?

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

Talk to me this way. You know, the

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

elders actually used to be very, kind with

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

the with the with the youngers, in fact.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

Even though he could have he could have

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

pulled that card, but he he definitely didn't.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

So he is a very interesting person for

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

a number of reasons that we just mentioned.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

One of the reasons is he was one

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

of the few people also who had the,

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

hijaza from the prophet to write the hadith

00:05:58 --> 00:05:58

down.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

The generality of the Sahaba did not have

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

permission from the prophet

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

to write hadith.

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

Why? Because the prophet

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

wanted them to only write the Quran so

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

that they don't confuse the Quran in the

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

Hadith.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

But saying that was a person of Amana,

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

and so, a person that the prophet trusted

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

not only in his

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

character, but his in his knowledge also that

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

he'll keep all these things straight. So he

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

used to actually have a scroll that he

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

would write the hadith of the prophet

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

down, and it was passed as a family

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

heirloom. It's called

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

the

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

and we don't know where it is right

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

now. Like, we don't have any material, like,

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

remain of it. But the hadith of the

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

are are are reconstructed,

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

and and narrated,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:41

by the

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

And,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

there's there's a special when you see the,

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

the the hadith of Amr bin Shoaib, an

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

Abihi and Jaddihi,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

This is that family,

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

family son of the of the family of

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

Abdullah bin Amr bin

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

So once

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

messenger passed by him, he said, oh, Abdullah,

00:07:00 --> 00:07:01

don't be like so and so who used

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

to pray in the night and then he

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

doesn't pray in the night anymore. The reason

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

for the prophet

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

saying this to say that Abdullah bin Amer

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

is to deprecate the other person.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

If it was, they would have mentioned they

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

they they they would have,

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

mentioned him by name.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

But the reason is what is that the

00:07:20 --> 00:07:20

prophet

00:07:21 --> 00:07:21

was

00:07:23 --> 00:07:23

informing

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

that if you want to, you know, because

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

you're one of the scholars, one of the,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

from the Sahaba. He's the one of the

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

people who will preserve,

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

different branches of knowledge will be preserved through

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

him.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

So he says that you have the status

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

that you cannot afford to not pray in

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

the night.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

Don't be like the others that that don't

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

pray in the night. Because think people think

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

about Islam is only being like, was it

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

haram? No. Then, okay, I'm gonna do it.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

Do I have to? No. Then I'm not

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

gonna do it. And,

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

in fact,

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

that reasoning makes

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

sense. Right? But not everything is the the

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

law. And your spiritual path, a person is

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

going to need, the help from the tahajjud

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

in order to get through it. The from

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

the Like we may have mentioned last week,

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

the word tahajjud is a specific type of.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:08

Means any,

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

prayers that a person does

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

in the nighttime,

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

after their and their whatever the the the

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21

the the what's connected with

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

So the and the best part of it,

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

the best type of it is tahajjud that

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

a person person should go to sleep and

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

then wake up before the time of Fajr

00:08:27 --> 00:08:27

enters,

00:08:28 --> 00:08:28

and then,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

pray some part of it. If you're not

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

able to do that, then,

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

what some of the Sahaba

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

used to do is what? Is they used

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

to why did you guys lock it?

00:08:40 --> 00:08:40

Knuckleheads.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

So the the

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

the the the the the the the the

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

idea is that what? That you can pray

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

before going to sleep, like the last thing

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

you do. Right? So you've already prayed your

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

and stuff. You pray some at that time

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

right before you go to sleep.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

If you're, like, super pressed for time,

00:08:59 --> 00:09:00

it even counts for

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

if you delay your sunnahs of until before

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

you sleep.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

A person has to read with her at

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

any rate. A person is probably, not going

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

to skip with her. They shouldn't be skipping

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

there with her. Right? So the bare minimum,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

if a want person wants to pray, you

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

know, say that they're from amongst the people

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

who pray is

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

you can delay at least your wither. If

00:09:20 --> 00:09:21

you pray another 2 rakas with it or

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

4 rakas with it or whatever, that's good.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

But the the the night, there's a a

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

blessing in in in in the night prayer

00:09:29 --> 00:09:29

that the prophet

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

I mean, he he's emphasizing it very rigorously

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

with the Sahaba

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

He himself used to pray. It was him

00:09:37 --> 00:09:37

to pray,

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

some part of the night, at least a

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

third or a half,

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43

or 2 thirds,

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

or all of the night sometimes, but he

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

had to pray some some section of the

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

night. He had to he had to pray,

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

in

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

order to,

00:09:53 --> 00:09:55

just as part of the the hook of

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

and commandment of Allah on him as being

00:09:58 --> 00:09:58

the prophet.

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

So you can imagine that that's a a

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

a matter of of of the rank and

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

the honor of

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

of a person with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

Even though Allah Ta'ala of his mercy didn't

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

make it on the rest of the Ummah.

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

But the people who wish to,

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

walk down the prophetic path, especially the people

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

of knowledge and the people of dhikr, the

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

people of righteousness, they have to also do

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

that as well so that they can get

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

the help from Allah that the prophet

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

received from,

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

from Allah to Allah as well, through that

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

same through that same prayer. And, how sad

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

it is and I'm not talking about anybody

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

other than myself.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

How sad it is that, you know, when

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

we have problems, we run to people to

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

ask them for help, and we don't go

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

to Allah and ask him for help.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

And, had we gone to Allah and asked

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

for his help, then we would have known

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

that, when you help ask him, then the

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

people will be able to help you.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

Otherwise, without Allah to Allah's decree, even the

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

people are not able to help you. So

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

the 2 are not necessarily exclusive of one

00:10:58 --> 00:10:58

another,

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

but,

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02

the the asking from Allah is the is

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

the real asking. Then after asking,

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

asking the people is is just going through

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

the motions.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:26

That,

00:11:30 --> 00:11:30

he,

00:11:32 --> 00:11:32

he he,

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

said that

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

a man was mentioned,

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39

in the presence of the prophet

00:11:43 --> 00:11:43

who

00:11:44 --> 00:11:44

who,

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

slept the whole night until until the morning

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

time, meaning until the fajr time.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:50

And,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

meaning he didn't wake up for tahajjud. He

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

didn't pray any part of the night.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

And so the messenger of Allah

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

said what? He said that that that's a

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

that's such a person that the shaitan has

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

urinated in his two ears or in his

00:12:05 --> 00:12:06

ear.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

Uh-uh.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

What does that what does that mean?

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

It means that,

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

the the shaitan has a,

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

has a

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

an ill effect on that on that person.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

Shaitan has

00:12:25 --> 00:12:26

an ability to

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

access or harm or, bother that person that

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

he doesn't have

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

on a normal person.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

Otherwise, the it doesn't mean that necessarily they

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

did something haram, but it's

00:12:40 --> 00:12:40

it's

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43

a ill effect that, that Shaitan has on

00:12:43 --> 00:12:44

that person. And we'll talk about that a

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

little more. There's a couple of hadith in

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

which the same effect is mentioned. We'll talk

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

about it in a minute.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

So say it Abu Huera

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

who he mentions this hadith of the prophet

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

that the messenger

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44

said

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

that Shaitan ties

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

on the the the the back of the

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

head or the neck

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

of 1 of you, 3,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:53

3 knots.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:54

And,

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

he he hits on every knot

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

and saying what saying that you have,

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

you you have to sleep. It's a long

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

night. There's still so much sleep left, for

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

a person to sleep. So just keep sleeping.

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

So when a person wakes up,

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

if they so the what is the meaning

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

of these knots? It's again a type of

00:14:15 --> 00:14:16

access or a type of,

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

of of

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

bothering or a type of of, like,

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

retardation of a person's,

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

spiritual state that

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

puts on a person when they're when they're

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

sleeping.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

And so he he he he hits on

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

every one of those knots and says, you

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

have a long night ahead of you. So

00:14:38 --> 00:14:41

so you you need to still sleep. You

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

need to keep sleeping.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

And so when a person wakes up, those

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

3 knots are there and it it's an

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

impediment for a person to get up and

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

do what they what they need to do,

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

to pray fajr and to whatever. You know?

00:14:54 --> 00:14:55

So

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

how do you untie those knots?

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

Because it's difficult to get up for fajr.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:00

Right?

00:15:01 --> 00:15:02

It's difficult. Right?

00:15:04 --> 00:15:04

Is

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

it? Is it?

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

I'm not I'm asking the kids. You're you're

00:15:11 --> 00:15:11

accomplished

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

already traveled around the spiritual path. You've been

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

you fad her like a pro. Right? Is

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

it difficult? Yeah. Yeah. So why is that?

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

It's because Shaitan tries tries tries 3 knots

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

on your on your head,

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

and it keeps telling you go back to

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

sleep, go back to sleep. Right? So, Rasulullah,

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

someone's telling you right now, how how do

00:15:30 --> 00:15:31

you deal with the?

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

How do you deal with the the shaitan

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

that you untie those knots and you now

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

regain your own control over yourself and you're

00:15:37 --> 00:15:38

able to,

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

you're able to do all the good things

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

that you need to do in the day,

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

and in the night.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

So he says,

00:15:46 --> 00:15:46

he says

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

so when one of you wakes up, if

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

they make the of Allah to Allah, one

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

of the Nazi,

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

comes open.

00:15:55 --> 00:15:56

So what should you do?

00:15:58 --> 00:15:58

Say

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

say something use say something in which the

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

name of Allah is

00:16:06 --> 00:16:07

is mentioned,

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

and it it breaks one of those, you

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

know, not like brainlessly, but sit in, like,

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

you know, sit up in with deliberation, take

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

the name of Allah with the knowledge and

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

the inside of your heart that there this

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

is going to untie one of those knots,

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

that the power and the divine name is

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

going to help you. So one of the

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

knots unties.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

Then afterward,

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

the second knot is untied by doing what?

00:16:32 --> 00:16:32

By making.

00:16:34 --> 00:16:37

So drag yourself to the drag yourself to

00:16:37 --> 00:16:38

the, to the bathroom

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

and, make your wudu, and that will untie

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

the second knot. And then when a person

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

prays, the 3rd knot is untied.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

And so this is one of the benefits

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

also of the of the tahajjud is that

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

you go to the fajr ready for fajr.

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

Whereas, if you go to the fajr with

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

1 of the knots left, then it's gonna

00:17:00 --> 00:17:01

decrease the quality of your fajr. This is

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

one of the the the many benefits of

00:17:03 --> 00:17:03

the,

00:17:04 --> 00:17:07

of the, of the tahajjud or at least

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

the 2 rakas of salat that a person

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

prays before fajr. Right? A person shouldn't miss

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

those. Those are quick rakat. They don't need

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

to be long. You

00:17:17 --> 00:17:19

read According to Malik, you just read the

00:17:19 --> 00:17:21

in it. So if you're, like, in a

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

rush or whatever, if you don't tell,

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

you know, the Muftis, I won't tell them

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

either. You know? It'll be our little secret.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:28

You know?

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

They said there's

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

a Malachy and Lombard is misguiding the youth.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

You know? So but the point is is

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

what? It's just you the prayer itself will

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

untie the 3rd knot. The messenger of Allah

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

says after that, the person the rest of

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

the morning, there'll be nasheet.

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

Nasheet look

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

what does nasheet mean? Nasheet means they'll be,

00:17:49 --> 00:17:49

like,

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

ready to ready to they they'll be, like,

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

good to go. They'll have some energy.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:54

They'll,

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

be excited,

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

in order to do what they need to

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

do in the day, and they'll be

00:18:00 --> 00:18:01

means, like, they'll be happy.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

They'll be positive.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

And if not, the person will wake up

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

meaning the person will be, like, really down.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

And and the person will be very lazy.

00:18:13 --> 00:18:13

It's

00:18:14 --> 00:18:14

a

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

hadith narrated by,

00:18:17 --> 00:18:18

both Bukhari and Muslim.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:21

Now what's the meaning of this hadith? Okay?

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

Someone might say, well, I

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

there's, like, at my work that are real

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

go getters, real morning people, real bright and

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

perky,

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

in the morning and, you know, they don't

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

they don't know the name of Allah and

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

they don't know what wudu is. Forget about

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

wudu. They don't even know what astinja is.

00:18:35 --> 00:18:35

Right? So, like,

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

you know,

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

but

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

you know, they don't know and they sure

00:18:40 --> 00:18:41

as heck don't know what what it means

00:18:41 --> 00:18:43

to pray and they don't pray and all

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

of that stuff. Okay? So how come they're

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

all bright and go getter y and whatnot?

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

And I oftentimes wake up and I'm groggy

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

as heck even if I make zikr and

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

even if I pray tahajjud, even if I

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

do and even if I, pray my salat.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

So what does this hadith mean? You know?

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

Is it because this hadith is like, it's

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

not, it's Bukhari Muslim. Is it because, you

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

know, I read some old guy in Twitter

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

says that all the hadisas are made up

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

and I only follow the Quran.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

No.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

That's not that's not what it is. You

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

have to understand what does the prophet sallallahu

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

alaihi wa sallam mean by these things. Okay?

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

So and Habif here means what? It means

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

it means in a spiritual sense.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:19

Okay?

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

Why? Because if you if you put a

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

a a rat in front of a crocodile,

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

the crocodile will also be excited.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:28

Right?

00:19:29 --> 00:19:30

If you I'm just not if you put,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

like, a a rat in front of a

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

snake, the snake is gonna be a big

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

go getter. It's gonna go and baa, hit

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

it and, you know, whatever. It's gonna hit

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

it with its poison, and it's gonna swallow

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

it whole, and you can watch YouTube videos.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

Forget about a rat. A snake will even

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

eat another snake.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

If you don't believe me, ask Maryam. I

00:19:46 --> 00:19:47

you know, I watch watch watch the video

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

with her, and she's like, baba, I don't

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

like this. I don't like watching this. Let's

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

not watch this. Right? It happens. Right? So

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

in that sense, yes. Just because a person

00:19:57 --> 00:19:58

is a go getter, that's not what's meant

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

by that because snakes don't read the Hajj

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

either. Right? The prophet means something very specific

00:20:03 --> 00:20:03

here,

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

when he's talking about who's nasheet and who's

00:20:06 --> 00:20:06

and who's.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

The meaning is what? Is that a person

00:20:10 --> 00:20:10

has

00:20:11 --> 00:20:11

in

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

their heart, not the physical heart and their

00:20:14 --> 00:20:14

spiritual heart,

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

it's like a a a like a radio,

00:20:17 --> 00:20:20

and it will tune into the it will

00:20:20 --> 00:20:22

tune into the the the frequency,

00:20:23 --> 00:20:24

of of goodness.

00:20:25 --> 00:20:28

Right? That the presence of the angels and

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

the the the the the benefit of, you

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

know, spiritual benefit of the salat, the spiritual

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

benefit of the recitation of the Quran. These

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

things are real. They have power in them.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

Through them, the who conquered the world. Through

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

them, you know, people people,

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

you know, they did great things with their

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

lives, and they resisted great evils and great

00:20:47 --> 00:20:50

temptations. The divine name protected so many people

00:20:50 --> 00:20:53

from from calamity and turmoil, and they'll the

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

the power of it will be even more,

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

more

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

clearly open for everyone to witness on the

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

day of judgment.

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

So the idea is what? Is that that

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

heart will be because the the the knots

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

of the shaytan, they're not like physical knots.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

Right? So if you're looking at trying to

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

interpret the hadith through, like, physical interpretation, you're

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

you're barking up the route wrong alley. You

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

won't even find the knots there in the

00:21:14 --> 00:21:17

first place. The knots are what? They're impeding

00:21:17 --> 00:21:20

the heart's ability to, benefit from from from

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

those things. So for example, right, there's a

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

bottle, empty bottle right here. Isn't there on

00:21:25 --> 00:21:25

the ledge?

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

Right? The bottle has cap on.

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

If if if I ask half as much,

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

I go, hey. You know?

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

Go fill the fill the fill the bottle

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

for me. Okay? If he doesn't take the

00:21:36 --> 00:21:37

cap off,

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

you can put the bottle under Niagara Falls.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

Is it gonna fill? No.

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

But if you just remove the cap, it

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

will fill with water.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:48

The heart is like that that there's like

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

a right? The the right? No. No. Is

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

there any no. There's no Punjabi's here, are

00:21:53 --> 00:21:54

there? Even my own oh, there you are.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

There you are. Even my own kids don't

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

know Punjabi. It's embarrassing.

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

It's embarrassing. Right? So,

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

That you the river of your mercy, oh

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

my my my,

00:22:16 --> 00:22:16

Allah.

00:22:17 --> 00:22:18

In every moment,

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

look how, like, vast it's flowing.

00:22:22 --> 00:22:24

Such a huge river, like, think of, like,

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

bigger than the Amazon. Right? Amazon is the

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

largest river, but Allah to Allah,

00:22:28 --> 00:22:31

you know, what is connected with him overwhelms

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

the creation. The creator overwhelms the creation. Look

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

how vast the river of your mercy is

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

even if, like, even if, like, one

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41

drop of it, like, should flick off from

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

the side. That's, like, enough for my entire

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

will be made. Right? But what's the problem?

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

Some people, the bottle is closed.

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

The problem is not there. The same Quran

00:22:52 --> 00:22:53

that people are, well, you know, I don't

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

I just don't feel it, brother. And it's

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

like, okay. I don't brother, I'm not into

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

it. I'm not feeling this right now. You

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

know? The same the same Quran, the same

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

salat, the same deen is there, and we're

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

not feeling it. And

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

the, like, walked over water and, like, would

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

see things, like, happen and hear things from,

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

like, a 100 miles away and, like and

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

it's not a joke. It's not, like, whatever

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

Harry Potter.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:19

Why? Because they actually happened. Guess what? The

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

Muslims actually conquered Persia

00:23:21 --> 00:23:23

and Syria and,

00:23:23 --> 00:23:23

you know,

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

Egypt and all of these places. And the

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

people in every generation, there are people who,

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

swear their by their life and their death

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

by by by the power of that same

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

Quran. We're not feeling why because the the

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

knot is still tied. Right? It hasn't been

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

untied yet.

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

These three knots are, like, for, like he's

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

saying to the, we have, like, a lot

00:23:42 --> 00:23:43

of a lot probably a lot more knots.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

There's probably you tie, like, a good dozen

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

knots by using Instagram every day or whatever.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

Like, there's, like, a lot of knots going

00:23:49 --> 00:23:50

on over there. So if this is the

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

point of, like, what I mean, like, not

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

everything is fit, not everything is is this

00:23:53 --> 00:23:55

halal, haram do I have to do? I

00:23:55 --> 00:23:56

don't have to. There's a whole understanding of

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

how a person is gonna spiritually benefit,

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

and this is this is one of them.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

So what do you do,

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

Abdullah, if you wanna wake up in the

00:24:04 --> 00:24:05

morning? What's the first thing you do? How

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

do you untie the first knot? Do you

00:24:07 --> 00:24:07

remember?

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

You make the dhikr of Allah. Good.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:13

Right?

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

1 of the girls tell me what's the

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

second knot. How do you untie the second

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

knot?

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

Okay. And then one of the other girls

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

that not Mariam who just answered, what is

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

the how do you untie the 3rd knot?

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

What you pray? Thank you for cheating. The

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

may not let us see on the other

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

side, but we can definitely hear. That's no.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

It's okay. And she's asking.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

That's good. It's good to have a friend

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

that will tell you nice things like this.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

No. No. That's what I'm saying. It's good

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

to have a friend that you can, like

00:24:49 --> 00:24:50

like, you can help each other in these

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

things rather than in other

00:24:52 --> 00:24:56

less useful things, hijab tutorials or whatever. So,

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

so so if you do these threes three

00:25:01 --> 00:25:03

things, what happens? The knots get untied.

00:25:03 --> 00:25:05

It means that the person who does those

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

three things,

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

even if you're groggy as heck because you're

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

tired and you're like, Sheikh, I did all

00:25:11 --> 00:25:12

3 of them, and I'm still tired and

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

groggy. Well, what time did you go to

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

sleep? You always, like

00:25:15 --> 00:25:18

I was playing whatever until, like, 4:30 in

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

the morning. Obviously, you're gonna be groggy, man.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

It's like you didn't sleep at all. Right?

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

That's a physical thing. The hadith is not

00:25:24 --> 00:25:25

describing

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

physical. If you wanna be like

00:25:27 --> 00:25:28

in the morning

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

and in a good mood, then physically go

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

go to sleep earlier. Right?

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

You don't need a for that.

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

You don't need like 30 jus of Quran

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

to teach you that. You know what I

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

mean? A kafir who doesn't even believe in

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

god knows that. Even a dog or a

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

a a, you know, a cat knows that.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

But what is the prophet saying? You could

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

still be groggy as heck. You've been playing

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

video games. Jabari is, like, laughing and he's

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

like, oh, it's not me. As he turns

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

progressively more and more, the color red, Amar.

00:25:58 --> 00:25:58

So,

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

so so so what happens? Right? You may

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

be still groggy as heck and really sleepy

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

and, like, dozing off and whatever. But if

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

someone says to you,

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

then a person will feel love in their

00:26:11 --> 00:26:12

heart. If someone says to you the Quran,

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

they'll feel in their heart this is the

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

book of Allah. If someone will say to

00:26:15 --> 00:26:16

say to you,

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

I wanna go. Someone says to, they'll say,

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

I don't wanna go to that. Right? That

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

the heart will be the heart will be,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:24

rested and awake.

00:26:24 --> 00:26:26

That's what it means. And what does it

00:26:26 --> 00:26:26

mean

00:26:27 --> 00:26:28

that you could be perky and go getter

00:26:28 --> 00:26:30

in the morning and just jog like, like,

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

3 miles or whatever? How many how many

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

miles do you I don't even wanna know

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

how many miles you jog.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

Do you do you are you one of

00:26:37 --> 00:26:37

those guys?

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

So I just went and ran 5 miles,

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

you know? It's just too Oh, just too.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:45

Right? Can't do anymore. Yeah. Half the ummah

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

is, like, you know, unable to walk from

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

one side of the Walmart parking lot to

00:26:48 --> 00:26:49

the other.

00:26:51 --> 00:26:52

Right? So you may be you may be

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

perky and go getter in the morning and

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

whatever, but these things are not gonna matter

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

to you.

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

The deen is not gonna matter to you.

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

The is not gonna matter to you. Someone

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

mentions dua or prayers, you'll be like, oh,

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

you know, that stuff we left that, you

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

know, religious people talk about this. I don't

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

wanna talk about those things.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

They'll be lazy for the things that will

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

be, of their benefit.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:14

And and the sunnah is what?

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

Use your brain and, like, do both of

00:27:16 --> 00:27:16

them.

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

But

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

in as much as

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

that the is more intense than this dunya

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

and it lasts forever. If you have to

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

prioritize one over the other, the dean teaches

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

to prioritize the thing that will last forever

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

over the thing that is limited. The thing

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

that will only be for some time and

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

then it ends. The doesn't end ever. Right?

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

However, this doesn't mean that a person is,

00:27:40 --> 00:27:43

unconcerned with the dunya, rather the sunnah is

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

you go to bed on time and all

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

that other good stuff. But,

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

but know that this is if just like

00:27:49 --> 00:27:52

a person knows already intuitively as an animal.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:55

Right? As an animal, you know intuitively that

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

if if you're hungry, you have to eat.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

If you're sleepy, you should sleep. If you

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

have other cravings, then you do the other

00:28:00 --> 00:28:02

things. You know those things intuitively. You don't

00:28:02 --> 00:28:05

need like a like a, a, sheikh to

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

tell you those things. Right? But what you

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

need is the the the the the dean

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

to tell you how are you gonna then

00:28:10 --> 00:28:11

line up your your spiritual being because it's

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

not as,

00:28:13 --> 00:28:15

as obvious. Right? The animals don't aren't able

00:28:15 --> 00:28:16

to figure those things out. We're not able

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

to figure those things out without Hidaya from

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

from Allah to Allah through the prophet

00:28:21 --> 00:28:21

and

00:28:22 --> 00:28:22

and

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

a person should employ both of them at

00:28:27 --> 00:28:27

the same time.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

Of the Jews of Madinah Munawara,

00:29:02 --> 00:29:03

and,

00:29:04 --> 00:29:05

he when he heard that the

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

was coming,

00:29:07 --> 00:29:09

he said, I also wanted to see who

00:29:09 --> 00:29:10

is this guy that all the Arabs have,

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

like, you know, they they they accepted the

00:29:13 --> 00:29:14

din at his hands and they stopped worshiping

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

idols and all this other stuff, you know,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:17

because the Jews have been doing that for

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

for a while. Right? They didn't used to

00:29:19 --> 00:29:20

worship idols,

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

you know,

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

and they, you know, didn't eat pork and

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

they didn't there's so many things the Jews

00:29:25 --> 00:29:26

were already doing. So they're like, like and

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

the Arabs used to be completely, like, crazy.

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

They had no Sharia whatsoever, and they do

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

all these wild and, like, Jahil type things.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

And who is this guy that they that

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

they've now, like, you know,

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

fallen in with who's, like, stopped him from

00:29:38 --> 00:29:39

all these things? I I I wanna see

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

too. So when

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

came to Madinah Munobra and, like, the the

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

the the the women and children are waiting

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

to greet him with, like, palm branches, which

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

by the way is a,

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

is mentioned in scripture,

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

from before the Quran as the scene of

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

when the

00:29:59 --> 00:30:00

the the Nabi

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

of comes. Is how his Istikhbaal is going

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

to be. That they're singing Talal Badrou alayna.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

They obviously didn't do it for Seda 'Isa

00:30:08 --> 00:30:09

alayhis salam.

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

They sold him out. But, at any rate,

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

the the people of Medina were were there,

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

and so the the a couple of the,

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

you know, some of the also came to

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

see because it's a big deal in town.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:21

And so this rabbi of the Jews also

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

said, I'm I'm gonna go and see,

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

his name was Hussein bin

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

Salam. And he said, I'm gonna go see

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

what's what's all the big fuss about. And,

00:30:29 --> 00:30:32

who is this person? You know? Because sensibly

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

even they should think that this is a

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

good a good thing that's happening. Right? At

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

least they're not gonna they're not gonna be

00:30:38 --> 00:30:39

digging into the swine no more, and they're

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

not gonna be worshiping idols, and they'll

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

behave a little more orderly from here on

00:30:44 --> 00:30:44

out.

00:30:45 --> 00:30:45

And so,

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

he said that when I saw his face,

00:30:48 --> 00:30:49

he

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

said, I I knew that he he he

00:30:51 --> 00:30:52

is,

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

this is not the face of a liar.

00:30:55 --> 00:30:56

And so,

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

and he's a spiritual man. Right? He's already

00:30:59 --> 00:31:00

a rabbi of the, of the.

00:31:01 --> 00:31:03

He's a spiritual man in the the of

00:31:03 --> 00:31:04

the prophet

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

struck him in his heart. And and that's

00:31:07 --> 00:31:08

why he said what he says. Otherwise, it

00:31:08 --> 00:31:10

doesn't really make a whole lot of sense

00:31:10 --> 00:31:11

if you don't understand

00:31:12 --> 00:31:13

that because you can't tell if a person's

00:31:13 --> 00:31:13

lying or not, if they're if they're if

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

you just look at their face except for

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

the person who is attuned to spiritual things.

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

And so what happens is that, after a

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

very short while, he he will

00:31:22 --> 00:31:23

accept the deen,

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

and his conversion is hidden. And the prophet

00:31:27 --> 00:31:28

calls the,

00:31:29 --> 00:31:30

calls a gathering of the rabbis.

00:31:31 --> 00:31:32

And he asked them, what do you say

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

about this Husayn bin Salam?

00:31:34 --> 00:31:34

And,

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

he says that he's a rabbi and he's

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

the son of our rabbi. He's our nobleman

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

and the son of our nobleman.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:40

And so,

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

he he tells him he's high he's he's

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

he's standing behind the so he tells them

00:31:47 --> 00:31:48

tells them to,

00:31:48 --> 00:31:51

come out. And so he comes out, and

00:31:51 --> 00:31:53

he takes the in front of the rabbis.

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

And the rabbi say, oh, this guy, he's

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

like our, he's our ignorant one, the son

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

of our ignorant ones, and he's like our

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

like, riffraff, the son of our riffraff. You

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

know? And so they just leave. They just

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

leave. They don't accept it. And so I

00:32:06 --> 00:32:06

I

00:32:07 --> 00:32:07

in my,

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

probably lack of, like, Hikma,

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

when I was a college student, I once

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

had a conversation with the orthodox rabbi from

00:32:14 --> 00:32:14

Chabad,

00:32:15 --> 00:32:18

you know, not the Hillel guys. Those they're

00:32:18 --> 00:32:18

they're, like,

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

they're a little bit more, quote, unquote, liberal

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

with their with their Judaism. No. The guys

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

who are actually, like, dopied up and bearded

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

and all that stuff. Right? So I I

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

told them about that, which probably, in retrospect,

00:32:29 --> 00:32:32

was not it's probably offensive, but, so I

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

probably shouldn't have. But, at any rate, I

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

said it to him, but his reaction was

00:32:35 --> 00:32:38

really funny. He was like, he was like,

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

sounds like something the Jews would do.

00:32:40 --> 00:32:41

Which if I said it would be bad,

00:32:41 --> 00:32:43

but he he said it. So I just

00:32:43 --> 00:32:45

kinda like he's like, okay.

00:32:46 --> 00:32:47

But he was a good sport about it

00:32:47 --> 00:32:49

as well. I'll give him as well.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

So at any rate, so he was there.

00:32:52 --> 00:32:53

The point of the whole story is what?

00:32:53 --> 00:32:54

He was there when the prophet

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

first came to Madinah and he, in fact,

00:32:57 --> 00:32:58

went out to see,

00:32:58 --> 00:33:01

see him and he had love for Rasulullah

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

from the first time that his,

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

he laid eyes on him.

00:33:05 --> 00:33:05

And,

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

and he was one of their rabbis. He

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

was not, he was not just like a

00:33:10 --> 00:33:11

a just a common man.

00:33:12 --> 00:33:12

And,

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

so, what happens by the way, you know

00:33:15 --> 00:33:17

how he he he he he, dies, actually.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:21

He he dies when, the assassins breached the

00:33:21 --> 00:33:22

house of

00:33:24 --> 00:33:27

and the there are 3, 3 people standing

00:33:27 --> 00:33:28

guard in his house.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:31

Abdullah bin Zubair and Al Hassan al Hussein

00:33:32 --> 00:33:33

are standing guard in the house of who?

00:33:33 --> 00:33:34

I've said no

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

sends them home, and they say we're not

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

gonna leave you. And he says, I'm Amir,

00:33:39 --> 00:33:40

and it's my order. You all have to

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

leave.

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

And so those 3 accepted the order, and

00:33:43 --> 00:33:45

the 4th one who was with them was

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

Abdullah bin Salam, and he didn't accept the

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

order. He stayed and he they they made

00:33:49 --> 00:33:50

him Shahid also at that same

00:33:51 --> 00:33:52

at that same time.

00:33:52 --> 00:33:53

They they killed him in,

00:33:54 --> 00:33:57

except his Shahada. So that's a great rank

00:33:57 --> 00:33:59

as well that he died defending

00:33:59 --> 00:34:00

by

00:34:01 --> 00:34:01

his side.

00:34:02 --> 00:34:04

So he remembers the day that the messenger

00:34:05 --> 00:34:08

came, and he remembers the first that the

00:34:08 --> 00:34:08

prophet

00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

gave to the Muslims on that day. Uh-uh,

00:34:11 --> 00:34:11

the of

00:34:12 --> 00:34:12

the prophet

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

that he said, oh, oh, oh, people,

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

spread salaam to one another. So go say

00:34:19 --> 00:34:21

salaam. So your homework assignment is what?

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

Homework assignment is to go say to a

00:34:26 --> 00:34:27

Muslim that you don't know. Do you know

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

who that is?

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

Do you know him? Why don't you say?

00:34:33 --> 00:34:33

Go.

00:34:34 --> 00:34:36

What are you gonna say?

00:34:36 --> 00:34:37

Not to me.

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

Not to me to him.

00:34:39 --> 00:34:40

And

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

say it.

00:34:43 --> 00:34:45

Handshake optional. Okay. Good.

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

Okay?

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

So that's that's that's a sunnah. Is it

00:34:48 --> 00:34:51

say Islam to means not not just to

00:34:51 --> 00:34:52

say salam like when you see your friends

00:34:52 --> 00:34:53

or whatever. Right?

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

Means what? It means to spread salam amongst

00:34:57 --> 00:34:57

people.

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

This is a sign of a hater, is

00:34:59 --> 00:35:01

the person who just says salaam to people

00:35:01 --> 00:35:02

they know.

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

There's a hadith of the prophet

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

that that he said he literally said, say

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

to the people you know and say the

00:35:11 --> 00:35:12

to the people you don't know.

00:35:14 --> 00:35:17

So, obviously, the greeting of Assalamu alaykum according

00:35:17 --> 00:35:18

to the, like, preponderant majority of the ulema

00:35:18 --> 00:35:21

is only given to Muslims or, like, if

00:35:21 --> 00:35:22

you see an angel, you can give it

00:35:22 --> 00:35:23

to an angel as well.

00:35:23 --> 00:35:23

But,

00:35:26 --> 00:35:27

so but, like, you know, so you're like,

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

okay. Well, I don't know the people walking

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

down the street or whatever. They're Muslims or

00:35:31 --> 00:35:31

not.

00:35:32 --> 00:35:33

I I I get that. Okay?

00:35:34 --> 00:35:34

But,

00:35:35 --> 00:35:36

when you're in the Masjid,

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

there's always somebody you don't know. K? People

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

hate each other. You know that people hate

00:35:41 --> 00:35:42

each other. Arabs are all talking about how,

00:35:43 --> 00:35:44

stuck up and annoying that they see people

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

are, and the they see people are all

00:35:46 --> 00:35:48

talking about how the Arabs talk down to

00:35:48 --> 00:35:50

them all the time. And the converts are

00:35:50 --> 00:35:52

like, oh, look. You know, born Muslims are,

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

you know, jerks to us, and the the

00:35:54 --> 00:35:56

the born Muslims are saying this about that

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

people, and the white Muslims convert or otherwise

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

are saying this about the black Muslims. And

00:36:00 --> 00:36:01

the black Muslims are saying this about the

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

brown Muslim, and the brown Muslims are god

00:36:03 --> 00:36:05

knows what, and everything is just everyone's hating

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

on each other and all of it could

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

be avoided. How

00:36:08 --> 00:36:10

you see somebody you know the person doesn't

00:36:10 --> 00:36:12

know You don't know the person and they

00:36:12 --> 00:36:14

don't seem to know anyone in the mustard,

00:36:14 --> 00:36:15

especially the ones that seem to know nobody

00:36:15 --> 00:36:18

in the mustard. Okay? Just walk up to

00:36:18 --> 00:36:20

them, put a a smile on your face

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

even if you're not happy in that particular

00:36:22 --> 00:36:25

moment. Just put your own self aside and

00:36:25 --> 00:36:26

just say, hey,

00:36:26 --> 00:36:27

how are you doing?

00:36:29 --> 00:36:32

Brother, sister. Just say it. Right? And what

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

happens? The hate evaporates because no. But then

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

now the hate has no place to live

00:36:35 --> 00:36:36

anymore because you were nice to somebody. It's

00:36:36 --> 00:36:39

a very awkward thing. I oftentimes walk into

00:36:39 --> 00:36:41

situations ready to hate on somebody.

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

I admit it. It's not good. Don't do

00:36:43 --> 00:36:44

it. If you see me do it, don't

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

be like, this is Hamza's weakness. Don't be

00:36:46 --> 00:36:47

like Hamza. Okay?

00:36:47 --> 00:36:49

I've done it before. Best the best is,

00:36:49 --> 00:36:51

like, online communication, Twitter, Facebook,

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

email, everything. Right? I'll read someone's email. I

00:36:54 --> 00:36:55

get this guy has made my to do

00:36:55 --> 00:36:57

list. I'm gonna I'm gonna get this. I'm

00:36:57 --> 00:37:00

gonna I'm going to I'm gonna, like he's

00:37:00 --> 00:37:01

gonna be like a snail that I run

00:37:01 --> 00:37:03

over with my car when I see him.

00:37:03 --> 00:37:06

Okay? And what happens if a person smiles

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

at you say and you're like,

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

oh, god. I can't do it.

00:37:12 --> 00:37:13

Which is a good thing.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

It's that's why it's assumed that the prophet

00:37:16 --> 00:37:17

knew that.

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

That's why, you know, people should people should

00:37:19 --> 00:37:20

do that with one another.

00:37:21 --> 00:37:23

Uh-uh. The world needs less hate.

00:37:24 --> 00:37:25

The world needs less hate,

00:37:26 --> 00:37:27

and it needs less haters.

00:37:28 --> 00:37:30

So nip these things in the bud. Don't,

00:37:30 --> 00:37:32

you know, you know, say some to to

00:37:32 --> 00:37:34

people. It's hard. It's hard, especially, it's hard

00:37:34 --> 00:37:34

for

00:37:34 --> 00:37:35

people who are in,

00:37:36 --> 00:37:37

what you call

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

administrative and, like, leadership roles because everybody wants

00:37:42 --> 00:37:45

to say to you. So if you're a

00:37:45 --> 00:37:47

Milana, you go into, like, hardcore Milana sub

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

mode, and if you're not, you go to

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

into what I call * sub mode. Don't

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

go on * sub mode.

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

Even though you know that same guy is

00:37:54 --> 00:37:54

the one,

00:37:55 --> 00:37:57

every time he, like, throws his, like,

00:37:58 --> 00:38:00

paper towel or napkin, like, not in the

00:38:00 --> 00:38:01

garbage somewhere else. And you know he's gonna

00:38:01 --> 00:38:03

do it tonight too. And he actually does.

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

Still fight the, you know,

00:38:06 --> 00:38:09

fight the fight the urge resist the urge,

00:38:09 --> 00:38:11

and just say slander them. Who knows? Maybe

00:38:11 --> 00:38:12

because you were nice to them, they'll be

00:38:12 --> 00:38:14

like, oh, wow. Maybe I should think about

00:38:14 --> 00:38:15

throwing this in the you know what I

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

mean? Or parking in the right place or

00:38:16 --> 00:38:18

whatever. And even if you don't if they

00:38:18 --> 00:38:20

don't, then that means you receive the supreme

00:38:20 --> 00:38:22

amount of reward from Allah to Allah because

00:38:22 --> 00:38:23

your reward is only from him.

00:38:24 --> 00:38:25

So

00:38:25 --> 00:38:27

a person should be happy inside that this

00:38:27 --> 00:38:30

person is like, if it wasn't for Islam,

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

I would swear an oath by the sacred

00:38:32 --> 00:38:33

name of Allah that he's just a walking

00:38:33 --> 00:38:35

piece of, like, anthro garbage.

00:38:35 --> 00:38:37

But, because the Hakam of Allah and his

00:38:37 --> 00:38:38

forbid

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

me from saying that and and and and

00:38:41 --> 00:38:43

officially acknowledging it even if it may be,

00:38:43 --> 00:38:45

like, 99% true,

00:38:46 --> 00:38:47

and because

00:38:48 --> 00:38:50

abuses me to treat this person a certain

00:38:50 --> 00:38:52

way and I did it and they gave

00:38:52 --> 00:38:54

me no reason to to be that way,

00:38:54 --> 00:38:55

then you know that the reward

00:38:56 --> 00:38:57

for that is, like, perfect.

00:38:57 --> 00:39:00

It's not decreased in 1 in in any

00:39:00 --> 00:39:01

way, shape, or form.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:03

So you should feel good inside that, look,

00:39:03 --> 00:39:05

you know, my other deeds may not pay

00:39:05 --> 00:39:07

off, but I said to this

00:39:07 --> 00:39:09

person, and he just seems like a complete

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

train wreck. And, but I said it for

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

the sake of Allah. So, inshallah, he'll reward

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

me for it. So first thing, he says,

00:39:19 --> 00:39:19

and feed,

00:39:20 --> 00:39:21

feed one another,

00:39:22 --> 00:39:25

and feed one another food. Again, the same

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

thing like this. This is this is beautiful

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

what that the,

00:39:29 --> 00:39:31

you know, we live in a country where,

00:39:31 --> 00:39:33

some of our parents actually came to this

00:39:33 --> 00:39:34

country. Not all of them. Most of them

00:39:34 --> 00:39:36

not most of us, but some of our

00:39:36 --> 00:39:37

parents actually came to this country

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

when black people and white people weren't even

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

able, like, allowed legally in certain states to

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

eat at the same, like, restaurant counter.

00:39:45 --> 00:39:46

And if you think they changed the law

00:39:46 --> 00:39:48

and it changed overnight, it didn't change overnight.

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

There's still some places probably,

00:39:50 --> 00:39:51

you know,

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

you'll get the customer. You don't look like

00:39:53 --> 00:39:54

you're from around here,

00:39:55 --> 00:39:56

treatment. You know what I mean?

00:39:57 --> 00:39:58

They can't even you can't even eat at

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

the same place, but what does the dean

00:40:00 --> 00:40:02

say? No. Actually, you pay for the food.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:04

Give just pay for the food for free.

00:40:05 --> 00:40:07

Eat eat together. You you wanna be you

00:40:07 --> 00:40:09

wanna be, you know, because Islam is for

00:40:09 --> 00:40:11

everybody. Right? Black, white, this and that. How

00:40:11 --> 00:40:12

are you gonna be racist? How are you

00:40:12 --> 00:40:14

gonna be like Klansman becomes Muslim, but I

00:40:14 --> 00:40:16

still hate black people? How are you gonna

00:40:16 --> 00:40:17

be racist and be a Muslim? It's not

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

gonna work out. You're gonna be in Madina

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

Manohara, and you're gonna be sitting next to,

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

like, you know, a, you know,

00:40:25 --> 00:40:26

you didn't you know, it's Ramadan, and you

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

didn't bring, like,

00:40:27 --> 00:40:29

Iftar with you and, like,

00:40:30 --> 00:40:32

whatever, like, a big posse of Gambians walks

00:40:32 --> 00:40:33

by and, like, drops down the thing and

00:40:33 --> 00:40:35

says, hey, brother. Come sit. Brother, come eat

00:40:35 --> 00:40:37

with me. Right? That's it. What are you

00:40:37 --> 00:40:39

gonna do? What are you gonna do? Are

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

you gonna burn burn a crescent in front

00:40:41 --> 00:40:42

of his house or what are you gonna

00:40:42 --> 00:40:43

do? How are you gonna have Muslim racist?

00:40:43 --> 00:40:44

It doesn't work.

00:40:45 --> 00:40:47

It works when you live in a state

00:40:47 --> 00:40:48

and the state has an official church and

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

you're like that race. It's like the Hungarian

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

Orthodox Church, Kalas. You can live in a

00:40:52 --> 00:40:54

bubble like that. Even though Christianity is not

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

like that either. Right? Our complaint with Christianity,

00:40:57 --> 00:40:59

most of its, like, extant forms is that

00:40:59 --> 00:41:01

they worship a human being, and we say

00:41:01 --> 00:41:02

Allah is not part of the creation.

00:41:04 --> 00:41:05

But it would be unfair for us to

00:41:05 --> 00:41:07

say that Christianity, like, if you read the

00:41:07 --> 00:41:08

Bible, you'll learn racism from it. I don't

00:41:08 --> 00:41:09

think that's a fair,

00:41:10 --> 00:41:11

a fair,

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

you know, objection against Christianity.

00:41:14 --> 00:41:16

But a Christian can themselves put themselves in

00:41:16 --> 00:41:18

a bubble in order to fool themselves into

00:41:18 --> 00:41:21

thinking that their religion condones their their, their

00:41:21 --> 00:41:22

racism because they're not gonna ever have to

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

have a star with a Gambian in Medina.

00:41:24 --> 00:41:24

Right?

00:41:25 --> 00:41:28

Whereas with us, it just it's it's not

00:41:28 --> 00:41:29

gonna work in the prophet. It's not you

00:41:29 --> 00:41:30

don't have to go all the way to

00:41:30 --> 00:41:31

Medina to do it. You can the same

00:41:31 --> 00:41:32

thing. The Gambians will hit you with the

00:41:32 --> 00:41:35

star at Darslam as well or IFS or

00:41:35 --> 00:41:37

wherever else other people. And if they don't,

00:41:37 --> 00:41:38

the Senegalese will get you or you know

00:41:38 --> 00:41:39

what I mean? The Kenyans will get you.

00:41:39 --> 00:41:41

So oh, Smalies will definitely get you.

00:41:41 --> 00:41:43

You cut up them bananas and and and

00:41:43 --> 00:41:44

and eat you know, with the sukhar and

00:41:44 --> 00:41:46

the rice and stuff like that. That's it.

00:41:46 --> 00:41:47

It's game over. What are you gonna do

00:41:47 --> 00:41:48

about it?

00:41:48 --> 00:41:50

So that's the number 2 thing. The first

00:41:50 --> 00:41:53

thing is what? The first thing the prophet

00:41:53 --> 00:41:54

said in the is what?

00:41:55 --> 00:41:56

Abdullah?

00:41:57 --> 00:41:58

You remember?

00:41:59 --> 00:42:00

Mary and Misha, you remember?

00:42:02 --> 00:42:03

You guys weren't listening?

00:42:04 --> 00:42:05

Oh my goodness.

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

Okay. Does anyone else remember?

00:42:10 --> 00:42:12

Okay. You see you guys got

00:42:14 --> 00:42:16

Amu Karim, like, got you guys off the

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

hook. So you spread salaam. What's the second

00:42:18 --> 00:42:19

thing?

00:42:20 --> 00:42:20

Anyone?

00:42:22 --> 00:42:23

I What?

00:42:24 --> 00:42:27

No. Serve people what? Serve people something in

00:42:27 --> 00:42:28

particular.

00:42:28 --> 00:42:29

Food.

00:42:29 --> 00:42:31

You have to feed one another. Sheikh Hamin

00:42:31 --> 00:42:34

very gingerly always mentions this whenever somebody asks

00:42:34 --> 00:42:36

them about the quote unquote zabiha issue.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:40

And, for those listening at home and, you

00:42:40 --> 00:42:42

know, you can see the the, like, sarcasm

00:42:42 --> 00:42:44

dripping off of my beard when I say

00:42:44 --> 00:42:44

that.

00:42:45 --> 00:42:45

But,

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

he says that everybody is keen to point

00:42:47 --> 00:42:49

out that Allah says in his book

00:42:52 --> 00:42:54

that the food of the people who the

00:42:54 --> 00:42:55

people of the book is halal for you.

00:42:56 --> 00:42:56

But everyone,

00:42:57 --> 00:42:59

everyone is keen to point that out, but

00:42:59 --> 00:43:00

nobody ever mentions

00:43:01 --> 00:43:03

what that your food is is halal for

00:43:03 --> 00:43:05

them too. So instead of arguing about, like,

00:43:05 --> 00:43:07

why you can eat at Burger King or

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

whatever, why don't you go go feed people?

00:43:09 --> 00:43:11

We had the Maliki. We had we didn't

00:43:11 --> 00:43:13

advertise it. We had Maliki 5th intensive 5th

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

Ramadan yesterday.

00:43:15 --> 00:43:16

So a a bunch of brothers from the

00:43:16 --> 00:43:18

city came down and they they they it

00:43:18 --> 00:43:20

was, like, about 6 and a half hours

00:43:20 --> 00:43:20

of.

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

And so, one of the one of the,

00:43:24 --> 00:43:26

one of the brothers asked the zakatul fitr,

00:43:26 --> 00:43:28

you know, zakatul fitr is a condition that

00:43:28 --> 00:43:29

you have to give it to a Muslim?

00:43:29 --> 00:43:30

Answer is yes. It is.

00:43:31 --> 00:43:32

However, that doesn't mean that,

00:43:33 --> 00:43:35

like, all charitable giving has to be to

00:43:35 --> 00:43:36

a

00:43:36 --> 00:43:37

Muslim. So

00:43:37 --> 00:43:38

there's a in particular because as a ritual

00:43:39 --> 00:43:40

a certain ritual

00:43:42 --> 00:43:44

status in the deen, it has to be

00:43:44 --> 00:43:46

given to, one of the needy or the

00:43:46 --> 00:43:48

indigent of the Muslims. Otherwise, feeding other feeding

00:43:48 --> 00:43:50

people of other faiths is an act of

00:43:50 --> 00:43:51

it's an act of sadaqah.

00:43:52 --> 00:43:54

It's an act of, it's an act of

00:43:54 --> 00:43:55

khair. You know?

00:43:55 --> 00:43:57

Anyone here likes ben Benjamin Netanyahu?

00:43:59 --> 00:44:01

It's okay. You can admit it.

00:44:02 --> 00:44:03

Alright.

00:44:03 --> 00:44:04

Anyone?

00:44:05 --> 00:44:08

Not a popular figure in the mustard circle.

00:44:09 --> 00:44:11

If he came and knocked on your door,

00:44:11 --> 00:44:12

what are you gonna do? Are you gonna

00:44:12 --> 00:44:13

take out a, like, a gun and shoot

00:44:13 --> 00:44:14

him? What are you gonna do?

00:44:15 --> 00:44:17

No. That's not the type of people we

00:44:17 --> 00:44:19

are. It would be awkward because the guy

00:44:19 --> 00:44:20

would be like a guest at your house.

00:44:20 --> 00:44:22

You'd be like, I don't know. Have have

00:44:22 --> 00:44:24

a seat. Like, you want some chai? You

00:44:24 --> 00:44:25

know what I mean?

00:44:26 --> 00:44:27

What are you gonna do?

00:44:28 --> 00:44:29

What are you gonna do? It's the dean

00:44:29 --> 00:44:30

at the end of the day. What are

00:44:30 --> 00:44:31

you gonna do?

00:44:34 --> 00:44:36

Afghanis have a a funny story that they

00:44:36 --> 00:44:37

tell,

00:44:38 --> 00:44:38

and

00:44:39 --> 00:44:42

remember their homeland was conquered by the Sahaba.

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

And they have unbroken their cultures and customs

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

are customs are unbroken from that time.

00:44:48 --> 00:44:50

In fact, there are still people in Afghanistan,

00:44:50 --> 00:44:51

people don't know that there are certain tribes

00:44:51 --> 00:44:53

in Afghanistan, their native language is is actually

00:44:53 --> 00:44:55

Arabic. There are Arabic speakers, there are not

00:44:55 --> 00:44:56

a whole lot of them, but there are

00:44:56 --> 00:44:59

some in Afghanistan that that that that still

00:44:59 --> 00:45:00

speak Arabic as a native language.

00:45:01 --> 00:45:03

There are native Arab speakers, many of them

00:45:03 --> 00:45:04

in Iran as well.

00:45:05 --> 00:45:07

There are some there are some in Afghanistan.

00:45:08 --> 00:45:09

But culturally,

00:45:10 --> 00:45:12

even though majority of them are Persian speaking

00:45:12 --> 00:45:13

or Pashto speaking people,

00:45:14 --> 00:45:16

culturally, they have their their their cultural practices

00:45:16 --> 00:45:18

are unbroken from the Sahaba. Many Afghanis have

00:45:18 --> 00:45:20

cultural practices. They think that they're, they're just

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

a Afghani cultural practice. When they learn

00:45:23 --> 00:45:24

ilm, then later on they realize, oh, wow.

00:45:24 --> 00:45:26

This is actually, like, from from Fipr or

00:45:26 --> 00:45:27

whatever. Right?

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

Or from the sunnah. And so what happens,

00:45:30 --> 00:45:32

the albanis tell a story about a a

00:45:32 --> 00:45:33

a man who,

00:45:33 --> 00:45:35

knocks on the door of someone and says,

00:45:35 --> 00:45:37

you know, ask them for hospitality. So the

00:45:37 --> 00:45:39

person invites them in, says, come be my

00:45:39 --> 00:45:40

guest.

00:45:40 --> 00:45:43

Right? And so what happens is he goes

00:45:43 --> 00:45:45

he goes, where are you coming from? He

00:45:45 --> 00:45:46

says, I'll admit to you. I I killed

00:45:46 --> 00:45:48

a man in the next village,

00:45:48 --> 00:45:50

and they're they came to look for me.

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

So now I'm your guest. Please hide me.

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

So he hides them, and he goes, who

00:45:54 --> 00:45:56

did which village is it? So he named

00:45:56 --> 00:45:56

the village.

00:45:57 --> 00:45:57

He goes,

00:45:58 --> 00:46:00

he goes, oh, I have a brother that

00:46:00 --> 00:46:01

lives in in the village. Who's the man

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

you killed? And it's it turns out he

00:46:03 --> 00:46:05

killed his brother. So

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

now the host is in an awkward position.

00:46:08 --> 00:46:08

So,

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

so he says, you know, he go just

00:46:11 --> 00:46:13

grabs his rifle and sits at, by the

00:46:13 --> 00:46:15

front door. He says, as long as you're

00:46:15 --> 00:46:16

inside of the boundaries of my house, you're

00:46:16 --> 00:46:17

safe.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

And anyone who knows a lot of alvani

00:46:20 --> 00:46:21

people,

00:46:22 --> 00:46:23

doesn't ask the question,

00:46:24 --> 00:46:26

is this story true or not? Ask the

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

question, like, how many times does this happen?

00:46:29 --> 00:46:30

Why?

00:46:30 --> 00:46:32

Because that's the dean. What are you gonna

00:46:32 --> 00:46:32

do?

00:46:33 --> 00:46:35

A person gets angry. A person's upset.

00:46:35 --> 00:46:37

A person all these things happen, but you're

00:46:37 --> 00:46:38

still Muslim. Right? If you have the common

00:46:38 --> 00:46:40

sense of iman inside of your house, you're

00:46:40 --> 00:46:42

not gonna do anything but but but but

00:46:42 --> 00:46:43

but feed people.

00:46:44 --> 00:46:46

And Allah Allah knows best.

00:46:51 --> 00:46:52

And the the third thing that the messenger

00:46:54 --> 00:46:54

mentioned was

00:46:55 --> 00:46:56

pray in the night when other people are

00:46:56 --> 00:46:57

sleeping.

00:46:57 --> 00:46:59

Pray in the night when other people are

00:46:59 --> 00:47:01

sleeping. And you do all of these three

00:47:01 --> 00:47:02

things. You'll enter Jannah,

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

Bismalam without

00:47:05 --> 00:47:07

without, without any harm coming to you on

00:47:07 --> 00:47:08

the day of judgment.

00:47:09 --> 00:47:11

Allah make us from amongst those people. And

00:47:11 --> 00:47:13

that doesn't mean, again, you know, if they

00:47:14 --> 00:47:15

the if the whoever the clan shows up

00:47:15 --> 00:47:17

with, like, a AR 15 protest at your

00:47:17 --> 00:47:19

must have that you need to necessarily hand

00:47:19 --> 00:47:20

them water bottles or whatever.

00:47:20 --> 00:47:21

But

00:47:22 --> 00:47:24

a person can be forgiven at any rate

00:47:24 --> 00:47:26

for for their first impulse to be to

00:47:26 --> 00:47:28

be nice to people, knowing that there are

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

sometimes that you have to show firmness as

00:47:30 --> 00:47:32

well for other people, for your own good,

00:47:32 --> 00:47:33

and for their own good as well.

00:47:56 --> 00:47:57

Sacred month of Allah.

00:47:59 --> 00:48:01

And, Allah Allah knows best, but the it

00:48:01 --> 00:48:02

seems as if the the

00:48:04 --> 00:48:04

the is

00:48:05 --> 00:48:08

is is toward the toward the fasting on

00:48:08 --> 00:48:10

the day of Ashura is it's specific in

00:48:10 --> 00:48:11

is a month in general.

00:48:11 --> 00:48:14

Allah knows best. And he says that the

00:48:14 --> 00:48:16

best of prayers after the for the prayer

00:48:16 --> 00:48:18

is what? Is the prayer of the night,

00:48:18 --> 00:48:21

narrated by Muslim. It's narrated by Muslim. And

00:48:21 --> 00:48:23

what's the what's the prayer, the salat, according

00:48:23 --> 00:48:25

to the that has the most reward after

00:48:25 --> 00:48:26

the 5 daily prayers? If you look in

00:48:26 --> 00:48:28

any book of from any Madhab. Well, I

00:48:28 --> 00:48:29

shouldn't say any Madhab, but at least the

00:48:29 --> 00:48:31

2 Madhabs that I studied, the Hanafi and

00:48:31 --> 00:48:33

the Maliki. What is

00:48:33 --> 00:48:34

it?

00:48:35 --> 00:48:36

No.

00:48:37 --> 00:48:37

Other

00:48:38 --> 00:48:41

than the fard. With With her. Oh, yeah.

00:48:42 --> 00:48:45

Right? So just like Ashura is like a

00:48:45 --> 00:48:47

specific day and and Haram is in general,

00:48:47 --> 00:48:50

here the in the night time, I mean,

00:48:50 --> 00:48:50

the

00:48:51 --> 00:48:52

what they say lines up with this as

00:48:52 --> 00:48:55

well. Right? That the the winter is, you

00:48:55 --> 00:48:58

know, the the the most meritorious of the

00:48:58 --> 00:49:00

prayers of the night.

00:49:00 --> 00:49:01

And so,

00:49:02 --> 00:49:04

that and then in general, the the

00:49:04 --> 00:49:05

and the

00:49:06 --> 00:49:06

the

00:49:07 --> 00:49:09

are more virtuous than any of the extra

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

rakat that that a person does during the

00:49:11 --> 00:49:12

day.

00:49:16 --> 00:49:16

Sorry.

00:49:31 --> 00:49:33

Said that the prayer of the night

00:49:34 --> 00:49:35

is to be done in sets of 2

00:49:35 --> 00:49:37

rakas. You pray 2 by 2.

00:49:37 --> 00:49:38

And,

00:49:38 --> 00:49:41

if you fear that the the the

00:49:41 --> 00:49:43

the dawn is about to break,

00:49:43 --> 00:49:46

then, then a person will will will pray

00:49:46 --> 00:49:47

with her at that time.

00:50:00 --> 00:50:02

Used to pray, in the night,

00:50:04 --> 00:50:06

2 by 2, and then he would make,

00:50:06 --> 00:50:08

with her with 1 raka,

00:50:09 --> 00:50:11

and it's also narrated by Bukharian Muslim.

00:50:12 --> 00:50:14

This the point of mentioning this hadith, the

00:50:14 --> 00:50:16

context of the darshan is not a fit

00:50:16 --> 00:50:18

of darsh. I understand that the one rakkah

00:50:18 --> 00:50:20

with her is not valid in Hanafi Madhub.

00:50:20 --> 00:50:22

So don't if you don't wanna do it,

00:50:22 --> 00:50:24

don't do it. There are also for that

00:50:24 --> 00:50:26

as well. The reference of the,

00:50:28 --> 00:50:28

the one

00:50:29 --> 00:50:32

prayer being deficient. For that reason, the Maliki,

00:50:32 --> 00:50:33

like the

00:50:34 --> 00:50:37

position and Hanafi position oftentimes are, like, diametrically

00:50:37 --> 00:50:39

opposed to each other. So the school is

00:50:39 --> 00:50:41

valid just to pray 1 and that's it.

00:50:42 --> 00:50:45

And in the in the Hanafi school, 1

00:50:45 --> 00:50:47

alone is under no circumstances valid.

00:50:48 --> 00:50:51

In the Maliki school, it's it's it's valid,

00:50:51 --> 00:50:52

but to pray

00:50:53 --> 00:50:53

3 without

00:50:54 --> 00:50:55

3 in a row,

00:50:56 --> 00:50:58

and it's all it's, it's to pray just

00:50:58 --> 00:51:01

1 without 2, but the the Masoon way

00:51:01 --> 00:51:02

is that you should pray 2 in 1

00:51:02 --> 00:51:03

together,

00:51:03 --> 00:51:05

2 in salaam and then one together. Any

00:51:05 --> 00:51:07

of these ways a person practices, that's fine.

00:51:07 --> 00:51:09

This is actually one of their interesting things.

00:51:09 --> 00:51:10

There are some people who

00:51:10 --> 00:51:13

Facebook and all this other stuff is all,

00:51:14 --> 00:51:16

by and large. There's a couple of beneficial

00:51:16 --> 00:51:18

things on it that Shaitan puts on there

00:51:18 --> 00:51:20

just so you stay and have the rest

00:51:20 --> 00:51:22

of the from, you know, like, consume the

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

rest of it. So somebody, a very sincere

00:51:24 --> 00:51:26

and good brother, he posted some post of

00:51:26 --> 00:51:26

some,

00:51:28 --> 00:51:28

basically,

00:51:29 --> 00:51:30

scandal monger who

00:51:32 --> 00:51:32

put

00:51:34 --> 00:51:35

we can fabricated narrations,

00:51:36 --> 00:51:36

against

00:51:39 --> 00:51:39

And I'm like,

00:51:40 --> 00:51:42

why are you bringing all these weird, like,

00:51:42 --> 00:51:43

like,

00:51:44 --> 00:51:47

you know, aberrant narrations? Whereas the the praise

00:51:47 --> 00:51:49

of the prophet and the Sahaba for him

00:51:49 --> 00:51:50

are there in the main books of hadith.

00:51:51 --> 00:51:52

So this is one of the one of

00:51:52 --> 00:51:52

the,

00:51:53 --> 00:51:56

hadith I remember like that that,

00:51:56 --> 00:51:58

Saidna Abdullah bin Abbas

00:51:58 --> 00:52:00

Imagine he's from Banu Hashim. Right?

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

And he's one of Saidna Ali's guys. Right?

00:52:03 --> 00:52:03

During

00:52:04 --> 00:52:05

his entire life.

00:52:06 --> 00:52:07

He's one of these guys. It's

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

like he's like close, like,

00:52:09 --> 00:52:12

close one of his close people. Right?

00:52:12 --> 00:52:14

So somebody came in and and,

00:52:14 --> 00:52:17

complained to him thinking, like, we're gonna, like,

00:52:17 --> 00:52:19

we're gonna get some beef going, you know?

00:52:19 --> 00:52:21

Some some non Hafsa approved beef,

00:52:22 --> 00:52:25

non halal advocates approved beef here, you know?

00:52:25 --> 00:52:27

Get the vertical cut beef,

00:52:27 --> 00:52:28

going here.

00:52:29 --> 00:52:31

And so and so they're like they're like,

00:52:31 --> 00:52:33

you know you know what

00:52:33 --> 00:52:34

does?

00:52:34 --> 00:52:35

And,

00:52:36 --> 00:52:37

what

00:52:37 --> 00:52:39

he prays only sometimes we see him, he

00:52:39 --> 00:52:42

only prays 1 rakah with her, and he

00:52:42 --> 00:52:44

doesn't pray the other 2 with them. And

00:52:44 --> 00:52:45

what it's in

00:52:46 --> 00:52:48

because these are he's a person, like, filled

00:52:48 --> 00:52:50

with Hikma even at a very young age.

00:52:50 --> 00:52:51

Right? So

00:52:51 --> 00:52:54

who showed the Sahaba why he's more intelligent

00:52:54 --> 00:52:56

than their their sons are. Right?

00:52:56 --> 00:52:58

That hadith passed in the real Sahin as

00:52:58 --> 00:52:59

well.

00:52:59 --> 00:53:01

So he he he he said, what what

00:53:01 --> 00:53:03

was his response? You know, he only prays

00:53:03 --> 00:53:05

1 rakkah with knowing that that that Sayna

00:53:05 --> 00:53:07

Abdul bin Abbas himself doesn't do that. Right?

00:53:07 --> 00:53:08

He's

00:53:09 --> 00:53:11

He's like, he he he has a point.

00:53:11 --> 00:53:13

You know? He's a he's a person of

00:53:13 --> 00:53:14

deep understanding.

00:53:15 --> 00:53:17

So, obviously,

00:53:17 --> 00:53:19

these differences of opinions amongst the Sahaba, you

00:53:19 --> 00:53:21

follow whatever you want to follow, and it's

00:53:21 --> 00:53:23

it's alright for a person who is, like,

00:53:23 --> 00:53:25

a little has a little bit of maturity,

00:53:25 --> 00:53:27

like, a little bit higher than, like, village

00:53:27 --> 00:53:28

level maturity, like, intellectually

00:53:28 --> 00:53:30

to know that there are different opinions, and

00:53:30 --> 00:53:32

then you follow the one you follow. You

00:53:32 --> 00:53:33

don't have to, like, do what everyone else

00:53:33 --> 00:53:34

says all the time. You just follow what

00:53:34 --> 00:53:36

you follow, but know that the opinions exist

00:53:36 --> 00:53:38

if someone else follows that opinion. It's not,

00:53:38 --> 00:53:38

like, that big of a

00:53:39 --> 00:53:40

deal. Even if you feel like you're right

00:53:40 --> 00:53:42

and they're wrong, it's still not that big

00:53:42 --> 00:53:43

of a deal. It's not like, you know,

00:53:43 --> 00:53:44

someone's like, hey. By the way, why don't

00:53:44 --> 00:53:46

we, like, try a second god as well?

00:53:46 --> 00:53:48

Like, that that's, you know, it's not like

00:53:48 --> 00:53:50

one of those things. Right? So he he

00:53:50 --> 00:53:52

says that so he says that so the

00:53:52 --> 00:53:54

Malekis would interpret this hadith meaning what? That

00:53:54 --> 00:53:57

he prays 2 by 2 and then, then

00:53:57 --> 00:53:58

afterward, the wither

00:53:58 --> 00:54:00

is meaning what? That this 2 in 1,

00:54:01 --> 00:54:02

the the the 2 that are with the

00:54:02 --> 00:54:04

one is he's saying that that's also counting

00:54:04 --> 00:54:06

it as as the 2 from before.

00:54:07 --> 00:54:07

And,

00:54:08 --> 00:54:10

I don't think that a Hanafitah will like

00:54:10 --> 00:54:12

that as Baidah. I don't think it's that

00:54:12 --> 00:54:14

far away. So, you know, you don't have

00:54:14 --> 00:54:16

to be so touchy about your your fit.

00:54:16 --> 00:54:18

But the point for this class today is

00:54:18 --> 00:54:20

not how it this is not like, oh,

00:54:20 --> 00:54:22

come to Reba to learn how wither is

00:54:22 --> 00:54:24

prayed. Okay? The point is is what? That

00:54:24 --> 00:54:26

we're reading about the fadila of praying it

00:54:26 --> 00:54:28

in in the night, praying to Hajjid and

00:54:28 --> 00:54:28

praying.

00:54:29 --> 00:54:31

So that's what what we wanna for tonight,

00:54:31 --> 00:54:33

what we wanna take out of this hadith.

00:55:02 --> 00:55:05

Saying Anas radiallahu and whom narrated the messenger

00:55:05 --> 00:55:06

of such.

00:55:08 --> 00:55:09

That sometimes

00:55:10 --> 00:55:12

in a a particular month he would not

00:55:12 --> 00:55:13

fast at all

00:55:14 --> 00:55:15

to the point where he would think like

00:55:15 --> 00:55:17

he never he doesn't fast.

00:55:18 --> 00:55:20

And then you would see him fasting so

00:55:20 --> 00:55:22

much that you would think that he never,

00:55:23 --> 00:55:25

he never doesn't fast. He's never, like, not

00:55:25 --> 00:55:25

fasting.

00:55:26 --> 00:55:28

And, sometimes you could see him,

00:55:30 --> 00:55:32

if you wish to, you could, like, if

00:55:32 --> 00:55:34

you came to him at certain part of

00:55:34 --> 00:55:35

the night, it would be like he prays

00:55:35 --> 00:55:37

the entire night. He doesn't sleep. And if

00:55:37 --> 00:55:39

you wanted to, you could find him at

00:55:39 --> 00:55:40

certain part of night. It looked like he

00:55:40 --> 00:55:42

slept so much that he didn't,

00:55:42 --> 00:55:44

that he didn't, he didn't,

00:55:45 --> 00:55:47

not not that way. The wording is that

00:55:47 --> 00:55:48

there's a part of the night you could

00:55:48 --> 00:55:49

see him.

00:55:50 --> 00:55:52

If you wanted to pray, you would see

00:55:52 --> 00:55:53

him like praying a lot.

00:55:54 --> 00:55:55

And and there was also a part of

00:55:55 --> 00:55:57

the night that you could see him sleeping

00:55:57 --> 00:55:57

as well.

00:55:58 --> 00:55:59

That's a narration of Bukhari.

00:56:01 --> 00:56:03

I think one more hadith

00:56:41 --> 00:56:41

Say that Aisha,

00:56:43 --> 00:56:45

said that the messenger of Allah

00:56:46 --> 00:56:47

used to pray 11

00:56:50 --> 00:56:51

meaning that this is his Tahajjud.

00:56:55 --> 00:56:57

And he would make a in

00:56:58 --> 00:56:59

he would make a sajdah

00:57:00 --> 00:57:01

in in those rakat

00:57:01 --> 00:57:02

of the night.

00:57:03 --> 00:57:05

Right? The 11 is what? 8 rakat of

00:57:05 --> 00:57:06

tahajjud and then

00:57:06 --> 00:57:08

with there is 2 and 1 or 3

00:57:08 --> 00:57:10

or however you wanna do the math. Right?

00:57:10 --> 00:57:13

Depending on, again, which mufi sab you

00:57:15 --> 00:57:16

ask your from,

00:57:17 --> 00:57:18

and it's all good.

00:57:19 --> 00:57:20

He says so he says that you pray

00:57:20 --> 00:57:21

11

00:57:22 --> 00:57:23

from the night, and then he would make

00:57:23 --> 00:57:25

a suds that, such that it would take

00:57:25 --> 00:57:26

one of you 50

00:57:26 --> 00:57:29

you you would recite 50 ayahs in that

00:57:29 --> 00:57:30

in that sajdah.

00:57:31 --> 00:57:32

That's a long sajdah.

00:57:35 --> 00:57:37

You should try making sajda like that sometime,

00:57:37 --> 00:57:39

but not in the farthest prayer.

00:57:40 --> 00:57:42

And sure as heck not when you're leading

00:57:42 --> 00:57:43

the farthest prayer.

00:57:45 --> 00:57:46

Okay? You're gonna people are gonna come with,

00:57:46 --> 00:57:48

like, blood rush to their head and then,

00:57:48 --> 00:57:50

you know, it's gonna become liability issue and

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

then someone's always gonna every no no matter

00:57:52 --> 00:57:54

what you do, if you're imam in the

00:57:54 --> 00:57:56

masjid, someone always is gonna come to you

00:57:56 --> 00:57:56

and be like, stuff.

00:57:58 --> 00:58:00

You know, the stuff used to, like, be

00:58:00 --> 00:58:01

go easy on people. And then if you,

00:58:01 --> 00:58:03

like, pray real quick, then they're, like,

00:58:03 --> 00:58:05

you know, like, you the prophet used to

00:58:05 --> 00:58:07

make alongside that. And if you, you know,

00:58:07 --> 00:58:09

whatever you're anyway, you're

00:58:10 --> 00:58:11

not gonna win that. That's why we're

00:58:12 --> 00:58:14

we're in right now. So,

00:58:16 --> 00:58:17

so

00:58:17 --> 00:58:19

right? That's a sunnah. That's a good thing.

00:58:19 --> 00:58:20

You know, a person how long would it

00:58:20 --> 00:58:21

does it take? What's a surah that has

00:58:21 --> 00:58:22

50 ayas?

00:58:24 --> 00:58:25

50 ayas.

00:58:26 --> 00:58:26

I need

00:58:27 --> 00:58:27

Yeah. I like

00:58:28 --> 00:58:30

22, 20 Yeah. 6.

00:58:30 --> 00:58:33

All those. Yeah. So, like so so,

00:58:35 --> 00:58:36

that's that's a long side of that. How

00:58:36 --> 00:58:38

how long would you estimate? 4 or 5

00:58:38 --> 00:58:39

minutes?

00:58:41 --> 00:58:42

50 hours? Yeah.

00:58:44 --> 00:58:46

Yeah. It's been 15, 20 minutes. 15, 20

00:58:46 --> 00:58:47

minutes. Right?

00:58:47 --> 00:58:49

So do that sometime.

00:58:49 --> 00:58:51

Like, not when people are looking and don't

00:58:51 --> 00:58:53

post it on your Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook,

00:58:53 --> 00:58:54

Twitter,

00:58:55 --> 00:58:56

you know?

00:58:57 --> 00:58:59

Don't tell your mom about it. Don't tell

00:58:59 --> 00:59:01

your, you know, your spouse about it. I

00:59:01 --> 00:59:02

guess your mom and your spouse is not

00:59:02 --> 00:59:04

gonna be that impressed no matter what you

00:59:04 --> 00:59:06

do, you know. But, still, you know, if

00:59:06 --> 00:59:08

you can avoid it just between you and

00:59:08 --> 00:59:10

Allah. But try it sometime.

00:59:10 --> 00:59:13

It's good. When your head comes up from

00:59:13 --> 00:59:14

from the,

00:59:15 --> 00:59:17

and then you have to do another, you

00:59:17 --> 00:59:18

can do it again.

00:59:18 --> 00:59:21

And then your will, like, take what? It'll

00:59:21 --> 00:59:23

take, what, 45 minutes, half an hour. Right?

00:59:23 --> 00:59:25

You know, something like that to finish.

00:59:26 --> 00:59:29

I promise you when you come up from

00:59:29 --> 00:59:30

the the 2 rakas,

00:59:31 --> 00:59:33

you're gonna feel like a more spiritual person.

00:59:34 --> 00:59:36

You're gonna feel like a better person. Things

00:59:36 --> 00:59:39

bad things that that that that everybody enjoys

00:59:39 --> 00:59:40

doing, even though we're not really supposed to

00:59:40 --> 00:59:42

admit it in front of one another.

00:59:43 --> 00:59:45

Right? But those things are not gonna seem

00:59:45 --> 00:59:47

as enjoyable anymore,

00:59:47 --> 00:59:50

and good things will seem more enjoyable. And

00:59:50 --> 00:59:51

a person will feel like, you know, that

00:59:51 --> 00:59:53

they they have had some,

00:59:54 --> 00:59:56

some communion and communication with Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:59:56 --> 00:59:58

Ta'ala. These are good things a person should

00:59:58 --> 01:00:00

do these things. You know what I mean?

01:00:00 --> 01:00:01

And if nobody was there to tell you,

01:00:01 --> 01:00:03

nobody told you this in Sunday school, did

01:00:03 --> 01:00:04

they?

01:00:04 --> 01:00:06

Did they tell you this about 50 eyes?

01:00:06 --> 01:00:08

No. No one's in Italian Sunday school. Those

01:00:08 --> 01:00:10

people themselves should read come to Real Sahin,

01:00:10 --> 01:00:12

and then they can be good Sunday school

01:00:12 --> 01:00:12

teachers inshallah,

01:00:13 --> 01:00:15

and they should learn basically akhida as well.

01:00:15 --> 01:00:17

They can become most good Muslims first as

01:00:17 --> 01:00:17

well.

01:00:18 --> 01:00:20

Allah reward them for what they're doing. You

01:00:20 --> 01:00:21

know, who knows? Sometimes you do a good

01:00:21 --> 01:00:23

deed, and it opens a door for other

01:00:23 --> 01:00:24

good deeds, you know, so we're not we're

01:00:24 --> 01:00:25

not gonna hate on them or nothing. But,

01:00:25 --> 01:00:26

like, you know, it would be nice if

01:00:26 --> 01:00:27

they kinda basically

01:00:27 --> 01:00:29

meant to be a Muslim. Right?

01:00:30 --> 01:00:31

So 50

01:00:32 --> 01:00:34

about that the Hajj of the process. And

01:00:34 --> 01:00:35

by the way, Ramadan is right around the

01:00:35 --> 01:00:37

corner. Everyone's all pious anyway because of fasting

01:00:37 --> 01:00:40

and stuff. Right? So why not why not

01:00:40 --> 01:00:42

try it out? You know what I mean?

01:00:44 --> 01:00:45

Why not try it out when no one's

01:00:45 --> 01:00:47

looking? You know? So that your friends at

01:00:47 --> 01:00:48

school don't say that, oh, you're a loser

01:00:48 --> 01:00:49

or whatever.

01:00:49 --> 01:00:51

One day you'll realize that all your friends

01:00:51 --> 01:00:52

are losers.

01:00:55 --> 01:00:56

You were afraid of them calling you a

01:00:56 --> 01:00:58

loser and you realize, no. You know, they're

01:00:58 --> 01:00:59

the losers. Right?

01:01:01 --> 01:01:03

One day you'll realize, like, everybody in life

01:01:03 --> 01:01:04

is a loser.

01:01:04 --> 01:01:06

One day you'll realize the most day is

01:01:06 --> 01:01:08

that the day you realize you're a loser

01:01:08 --> 01:01:08

too.

01:01:09 --> 01:01:11

Not because they called you a loser.

01:01:12 --> 01:01:14

That first loser that you thought you were,

01:01:14 --> 01:01:16

that's there's no Baraka in that. You're just

01:01:16 --> 01:01:18

you actually are a loser at that time.

01:01:18 --> 01:01:18

Okay?

01:01:19 --> 01:01:21

You work hard, make yourself into something. Be

01:01:21 --> 01:01:23

the best person you could be in the

01:01:23 --> 01:01:24

dunya and in the deen.

01:01:25 --> 01:01:27

Then after that, when you realize you're a

01:01:27 --> 01:01:28

loser, that's that's when you know that you're

01:01:28 --> 01:01:29

not a loser.

01:01:29 --> 01:01:31

The minute then it comes back to you,

01:01:31 --> 01:01:32

like, oh, I'm not a loser anymore, then

01:01:32 --> 01:01:34

you become a loser again. But then once

01:01:34 --> 01:01:35

you can push that out of your mind

01:01:35 --> 01:01:37

and you're like, no. I am. I lose

01:01:37 --> 01:01:39

then then then you're like then you're not

01:01:39 --> 01:01:39

a loser anymore.

01:01:41 --> 01:01:41

Right?

01:01:44 --> 01:01:45

The one who knows I I need from

01:01:45 --> 01:01:47

Allah to Allah. Imagine like a kid. Right?

01:01:47 --> 01:01:49

You guys how old are you, the 2

01:01:49 --> 01:01:51

of you? 14. Right? You guys look like

01:01:51 --> 01:01:52

a good age of kid to tell, like,

01:01:52 --> 01:01:53

go take the garbage out.

01:01:54 --> 01:01:55

Right? Do you get told to take the

01:01:55 --> 01:01:57

garbage out from time to time? And sometimes

01:01:57 --> 01:01:59

you probably do it and sometimes you're like,

01:01:59 --> 01:02:00

and you roll your eyes at your mother

01:02:00 --> 01:02:01

and stuff. Don't say yes. Don't don't not

01:02:01 --> 01:02:03

yeah. Of course, you're perfect angels. You never

01:02:03 --> 01:02:05

do that. Right? But, like, you know, whatever.

01:02:05 --> 01:02:05

Okay?

01:02:06 --> 01:02:07

No comment. Right?

01:02:09 --> 01:02:11

When you were a little baby,

01:02:11 --> 01:02:14

like, 3 days old, were you expected to

01:02:14 --> 01:02:17

take the garbage out? Your mother and father

01:02:17 --> 01:02:18

did everything for you.

01:02:19 --> 01:02:21

But now you guys are like

01:02:21 --> 01:02:23

real smart and cocky and, like, do your

01:02:23 --> 01:02:25

hair and, like, all this other stuff and,

01:02:25 --> 01:02:27

like, you think you know stuff and you're

01:02:27 --> 01:02:29

smart and you're cool and whatever. Right? So

01:02:30 --> 01:02:31

you're told to take care of yourself and,

01:02:31 --> 01:02:34

in fact, do stuff, other stuff as well.

01:02:34 --> 01:02:35

So it works with a lot out of

01:02:35 --> 01:02:38

that way. The person whose reliance on Allah

01:02:38 --> 01:02:40

is like like a baby relies on on

01:02:40 --> 01:02:41

on on its mother. Allata'ala takes care of

01:02:41 --> 01:02:44

everything for them. And the person who's cocky

01:02:44 --> 01:02:45

and they're like, well, in my opinion, this,

01:02:45 --> 01:02:48

okay, go do go go make a life

01:02:48 --> 01:02:49

for yourself. In fact, do this. Here's some

01:02:49 --> 01:02:51

other responsibilities for you as well.

01:02:51 --> 01:02:54

Right? So that's what it means the day

01:02:54 --> 01:02:55

you realize you're a loser. I mean, the

01:02:55 --> 01:02:56

day you realize you're powerless in front of

01:02:56 --> 01:02:59

Allah ta'ala, that's a Mubarak day. The first

01:02:59 --> 01:03:00

thing that when you think you're a loser

01:03:00 --> 01:03:01

because your friends say you're a loser, they're

01:03:01 --> 01:03:03

losers themselves. What does their opinion mean? Right?

01:03:04 --> 01:03:06

That's that's that's the explanation for that.

01:03:07 --> 01:03:09

So, so yeah. So don't worry about them.

01:03:09 --> 01:03:10

Just close the door. None of them are

01:03:10 --> 01:03:12

gonna see. And,

01:03:12 --> 01:03:15

do that salat in which your sajdah is,

01:03:15 --> 01:03:16

like, whatever, 15 minutes each.

01:03:17 --> 01:03:18

You may come out of your the room

01:03:18 --> 01:03:20

as a better person. And then later on,

01:03:20 --> 01:03:22

when you do dumb things and almost everyone

01:03:22 --> 01:03:23

does dumb things,

01:03:24 --> 01:03:26

then you remember, oh, there's this one thing

01:03:26 --> 01:03:28

I can do to, like, mitigate and reduce

01:03:28 --> 01:03:30

the amount of dumbness that's, like, left over

01:03:30 --> 01:03:32

from me doing something stupid. So you can

01:03:32 --> 01:03:34

always do it again inshallah. And if you

01:03:34 --> 01:03:35

really wanna be a good person, you can

01:03:35 --> 01:03:36

do it every day and try not to

01:03:36 --> 01:03:38

do dumb things also.

01:03:40 --> 01:03:42

And that's what some people, Allah gives them

01:03:42 --> 01:03:43

a rank over others.

01:03:44 --> 01:03:45

And so she says that he used to

01:03:45 --> 01:03:46

make,

01:03:47 --> 01:03:49

for so long that it would take one

01:03:49 --> 01:03:50

of you 50 the time that it takes

01:03:50 --> 01:03:51

you to recite 50,

01:03:52 --> 01:03:54

before he would raise his head. And he

01:03:54 --> 01:03:56

would pray 2

01:03:56 --> 01:03:57

after that, after his.

01:03:58 --> 01:04:00

Right? So you is like what? 8 and

01:04:00 --> 01:04:03

then and then 3 or 2 in 1

01:04:03 --> 01:04:05

of Wither. Then after that, once the fajr

01:04:05 --> 01:04:06

would rise, he would pray 2,

01:04:07 --> 01:04:09

rakas before fajr, and we mentioned from before

01:04:09 --> 01:04:11

that those are the sunnah that they should

01:04:11 --> 01:04:11

be quick.

01:04:11 --> 01:04:12

And,

01:04:12 --> 01:04:14

then he would just lay down on his

01:04:14 --> 01:04:15

right side,

01:04:17 --> 01:04:18

and tell the

01:04:18 --> 01:04:20

person came to fetch him for salat

01:04:21 --> 01:04:23

in order to to go and pray.

01:04:24 --> 01:04:25

Give all of us so much
