The importance of the first row in Islam is highlighted, with the use of the Quran and Sun parables in writing the Hadith, and the importance of praying for spiritual well-being and finding a way to get a second wife. Pranksters and negative narratives can lead to confusion and misunderstandings, and praying for spiritual progress and not letting emotions affect others is crucial.

So today, we continue with the,

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

chapter

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

regarding the virtues

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

of the first

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

rows,

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

the first ranks in the salat,

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

and the commandment to finish the first rows

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

first,

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

and the commandment to

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

straighten

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

and,

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

straighten the rose and to fill the gaps

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

between them.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

Muslim.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

That the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

once said,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

close close your ranks, close your rows. The

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

gaps between them, close them.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:44

And,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

make them near to one another. Meaning, don't

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

make the space between the rows and the

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

salats far away.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

Don't make it like 1 row and then

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

like 5 feet back the second row. Rather,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

there should be enough space between the rows

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

that a person can make sajdah without,

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

bothering the person in front of in front

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

of them.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

But then after that, don't make the space

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

between the rows, excessive.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

And make your necks even with one another.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

Meaning, the straightness of the rows should be

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

that the necks are all in one line.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

The people make a fight about whether it

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

should be heels on the line, toes on

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

the line. This hadith indicates that the the

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

necks should be,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

in line with one another.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

And that the

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

continues.

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

The the issue of the necks,

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

being the straightness of the lines in the

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

shoulders, they're really the same thing because the

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

neck

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

the neck will

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

insert into the shoulders, so they're at the

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

same place.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

The prophet then

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

swears an oath. He says, I swear by

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

the one in whose

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

hand my soul is. Who's the one in

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

whose hand

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

the soul is?

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

Who is it?

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

Is it in the hands of a person?

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

Have you ever seen somebody hold someone's soul

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

in their hand?

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

So who's the one who can who in

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

whose hand is is is the soul of

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

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam? Allah. Allah

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

ta'ala. Yeah.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

So he swears an oath. He says, I

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

swear an oath by the one in whose

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

soul my in whose hands is my soul.

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

He says, I swear that oath by the

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

one in whose hand is my soul,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

that

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

I see I indeed see

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

devils,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

shayatin,

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

entering,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

between the

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

the gaps in the rows.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

And now,

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

as if they are.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

Is the the the plural,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

of the word which

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

is a which

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

is the name of a a type of

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

goat from Yemen.

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

And the reason it's called

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

in Arabic means to cut something off.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

So the hadaf

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

is what? It's like a really small sheep,

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

but it's a sheep that's, like, way below

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

average size.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

So it's a a type of a black

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

sheep or goat from Yemen,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

which is way below size. So he sees

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

that he sees that sheitanic force,

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

coming between the gaps in the

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

the gaps in the the rows of people

00:04:32 --> 00:04:32

in salat.

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

Meaning what? Meaning when you're in when you're

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

praying together,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

right,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

the the faith and the nur comes from

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

Allah

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

and it spreads

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

from the imam, from where the imam is

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

through the different rows of the mas masjid.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

And when there's gaps between

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

when there's gaps between the roles, shaitan is

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

not gonna be happy. So shaitan is going

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

to try to get into those gaps and

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

block the

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

the the nur and the benefit and the

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

adjar and the barakah of that salat from

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

getting to people. So the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

wa sallam

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

emphasized all of these adab of the way

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

the salat is supposed to stand. Why? So

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

that the people can get the maximum benefit

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

spiritually from the prayer. Now the spiritual benefit

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

isn't the only benefit. Obviously, if you understand

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

what you're saying in the salat,

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

there's more benefit.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

If you focus, there's more benefit. If you

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

ponder, there's more benefit.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

But the salat has many several different types

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

of benefit, and this is an important type

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

as well. And so Islam is not to

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

say that, oh, I only take the spiritual

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

benefit and I don't care about understanding,

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

and it's not to say that, oh, look,

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

I understand,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

and therefore the other types of benefit are

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

not important.

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

Rather, the the path of Islam is to

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

what?

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

Is to,

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

take all the different types and combine them

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

inwardly and outwardly,

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

when a person takes benefit from the, from

00:05:52 --> 00:05:52

the salat.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

So the the last hadith, Nawi

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

he makes a remark that it's a a

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

hadith narrated by Abu Dawood.

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

And,

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

it is

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

it is narrated by Abu Dawood on the

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

condition of Muslim, meaning that the

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

the the Hadith

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

and it is, narrated according to the

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

the the condition of Muslim.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

And that may be a bit bit of

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

an advanced issue to talk about for this.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

It may be a bit of a distraction

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

from what we wanna talk about. But, hey.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

Who also narrates that the messenger

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

said, complete the first the front row first,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

then the one that's behind it, in order.

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

And if there is any incomplete row in

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

the masjid, it should be the last one.

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

It should be the last one. Why? Because

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

that's the place where the least amount of

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

faith comes,

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

and,

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

so the deficiency in it will be,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

will be

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

aggregated. All things considered, it will be the

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

least amount of deficiency.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

Sorry. The last hadith was on Anas ibn

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

Malik. This one is from

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

We'll come back to this hadith, the the

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

the commentary on it.

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

So now there's a issue that's mentioned with

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

regards to the which side of the

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

the surface superior.

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

Is the right side superior or the left

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

side or the other? Possibilities the middle. Is

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

the middle of the the the row superior?

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

And so this hadith narrated by Sayna Al

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

Barad Nu Azzed is that the the that

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

that he said that we

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

used to when we prayed, behind Rasulullah Sallallahu

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

Alaihi Wasallam,

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

we would

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

we would,

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

we would,

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

love to

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

pray on his right side,

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

because he would face us with his face.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

We'd see part of his face.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

And he said that I heard him after

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

the the salat say,

00:09:23 --> 00:09:24

oh my lord,

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

protect me from your torment

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

on the day that you resurrect or on

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

the day that you gather. And so even

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

here you see, Barab Nazaeb is saying that

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

although even it doesn't make much of a

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

difference in the meaning, he's saying what he's

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

saying what? I don't remember. Did he say

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

or did he say?

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

Did he say oh, my lord,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

protect me from your torment on the day

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

that you resurrect or on the day that

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

you gather your slaves.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

Obviously, the meaning is the same. You cannot

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

gather the slaves without resurrecting them.

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

If you gather just dead bodies, then there's

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

no torment and there's no enjoyment because it's

00:10:02 --> 00:10:03

just dead matter.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

I find this hadith very interesting, which is

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

what?

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

Said Al Barab, no. As I've said that

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

we used to like to be on his

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

right hand side. Why? Because he would turn

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

to us and face us.

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

So what's the difference between being on the

00:10:18 --> 00:10:19

right and the left then?

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

If he's saying 2 salaams,

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

what's the difference then?

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

No. And the reason I mentioned is not

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

necessarily to hack down other people's med hevs.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

If you're like, if you know if that's

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

your med hevs, great. You know, wonderful.

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

Enjoy yourself. The thing that bothers me and

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

annoys me is when people act like, oh,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

I follow follow the one that has the

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

deal. Sure you do, buddy.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

Sure. Right?

00:10:45 --> 00:10:46

People say, oh, I follow the hadith. Those

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

are the people I swear to you have

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

never read hadith before. But people say everything

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

Quran is Sunnah. They've never read there's 2

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

things they haven't read in their life, and

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

one is called the Quran and the other

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

is called the Sunnah.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

They don't know anything about it. Had they

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

read, they would have known there's a deal

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

both ways and they would have known the

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

issue is the issue of,

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

of tarjih, of weighing different things that are

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

narrated and seeing which thing is which thing

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

is slightly superior to the other. Otherwise, if

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

people just were making up their own making

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

up their own, then,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

we wouldn't have, you know, the ummah, the

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

prophet would not have accepted that from them.

00:11:19 --> 00:11:19

So,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

he says what? He says that we used

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

to we used to we used to love

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

that we would be on the right side

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

of the so that that that after the

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

prayer is over, we would we would get

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

to see his face

00:11:32 --> 00:11:33

We would get to see his face

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

and I heard him say

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

at that time.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

Oh my lord,

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

protect me from your torment on the day

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

that you resurrect or on the day that

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

you gather your slaves.

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

Now,

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

tell me,

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

and the thing is that these things these

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

issues regarding the like, regarding a difference in

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

wording,

00:11:58 --> 00:11:59

they could be from the,

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

they could be from the Sahabi who narrates

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

the Hadith, or they could be from someone

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

else in the chain.

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

But and, you know, to be honest with

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

you, I didn't have tahtik. Like, it would

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

have taken me, like, an hour just to

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

look up this one issue anyway. Right? So

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

I don't have tahtik on on on what

00:12:13 --> 00:12:14

the what the deal is. But,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

if any of the narrators in the chain,

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

were to be this cautious about

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

the way they narrate the hadith of the

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

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam for an issue

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

that doesn't really make a difference.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

And the hadith business is cutthroat.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

Muslim doesn't narrate from Bukhary

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

even though they actually used to get along.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:34

And,

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

the the the the the the the city

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

of

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

the city of the,

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

of Imam Muslim. Buhari stayed in Nishapur for

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

some time, and there were actually a number

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

of the ulema that didn't like Buhari.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

Surprise, surprise.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:53

Alright. Every great person always has great enemies.

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

Muslim himself was described in his in his

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

Tabakah. If you read his Tabakah in in

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

what's his name? Dhahabi.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

Muslim was like he was like really hard

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

nosed person. Allah Allah have mercy on him.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

And he was a guy that, like, he

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

didn't use to take nonsense. And if he

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

thought something was right, he would say it.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

And if he if he if he thought

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

something was wrong, he would say it. So

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

Buhari

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

even disagreed with him on certain issues, but

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

like he would get upset when the ulama

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

would would basically pick on him. He'd turn

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

basically all of Buhari's enemies into his own

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

enemy.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

Despite the fact that he had rigorous disagreement

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

with Buhari with regards to how he, you

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

know, certain conditions that he used to have

00:13:33 --> 00:13:33

for narrating

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

narrating hadith. Because this whole thing breaks down

00:13:36 --> 00:13:37

to then what's the, you know, the discussion

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

with regards to the,

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

which of the books, is the most is

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

the most

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

authentic with regards to the hadith of the

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

Now my sheikh,

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

Moana Abdul Halim,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

and his name is published as in in

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

Arabic, in his Arabic writings, partially because there's

00:13:57 --> 00:13:58

no in Arabic.

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

But,

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

the the students of

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

you know, they'll oftentimes

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

quote him or his brother, Mohan Abdul Rashid,

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

both of which at some point or another

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

held the chair of the Hasid al Hadith

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

in the Benuritan Madrasah in Pakistan.

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

He he he says this whole discussion with

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

regards to which book is most authentic

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

is a,

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

is is a is a quasi academic discussion

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

in the first place. Why?

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

Because each hadith has its own chain of

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

narration.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

And if the olemaq cannot agree to

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

which which chain of narration is the most

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

authentic, then how are they gonna agree to

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

which book is most authentic?

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

So he he he considers this discussion to

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

be a little bit a little bit, more

00:14:44 --> 00:14:48

cultural and less actually intellectual academic. There are

00:14:48 --> 00:14:49

a 100 people who, you know, if they

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

heard this lecture, would probably

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

get ready to stab me on on on

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

the Internet for saying that. I'm just I

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

don't know anything myself. I'm just making what

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

I I'm just try you know, I'm just

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

conveying what I heard from our elders, from

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

our from

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

our teachers.

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

But

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

Muslim,

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

despite

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

his reverence for Bukhari,

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

he doesn't narrate from him.

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

Bukhary, despite his reverence for Imam Ahmed Bin

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

Hamble, doesn't narrate from him. Why? Because the

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

Hadith business is cutthroat.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

It's like Muslims. Right? If you can buy

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

halal meat 10¢ cheaper at the next store,

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

people stop caring even if it's people stop

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

caring even if it's, it's, like, slaughtered properly

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

or not. They're gonna go for what's cheaper.

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

Right? So had these businesses is very cutthroat.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

If you find a shorter or you find

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

a more correct narration from someone else, people

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

will bounce. They don't they're not gonna you

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

know, you're not gonna see it. So when

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

someone narrates from someone, it means that is,

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

like, the last person in the world that

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

they can come and narrate from. There's really

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

nobody else,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

who you're gonna get better better from. So

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

it's very interesting when you see

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

the the,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

like, type

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

al father in the hadith. The hadith where

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

the the narrators themselves admit that we don't

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

know

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

which

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

wording is correct.

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

Especially given that almost all all of the

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

instances where that occurs, it makes very little

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

difference in the meaning.

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

And the only reason that,

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

their narrator would do that is what?

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

Is because of their fear of Allah. Muslim

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

himself writes in

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

and his that he considers as hadith.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

To be like the the the the person

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

who lies intentionally about me. Let them prepare

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

to take their their their seat in the

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

fire.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

So

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

the the point of all of this is

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

we have a a lot of people who

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

are like, oh, you know, I don't follow

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

the I don't follow the Hadith. I only

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

follow the Quran. Or they're like, oh, you

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

know, it's just the Hadith. Who knows? You

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

know? Or, like, I only follow the Hadith

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

if it, like, you know, if it if

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

it if it if it if it's doesn't

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

clash with the Quran or whatever. It's kind

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

of stupid, like, real sophomore type of objections.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

And then those objections will evolve because, look,

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

not everybody who has information has ilm.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

Is a light inside of the heart that

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

allows a person to gather information and then

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

that information takes them to something better. And

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

their own conduct

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

and their own dealings with other people and

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

their saluk toward Allah

00:17:22 --> 00:17:23

and the amount of benefit that they give

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

to the ummah, etcetera, etcetera. That's what consider

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

illimat. Otherwise, they're all kinds of crazy people.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

Maybe I've mentioned it before,

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

the Faisi brothers. Abu Faisi was like the

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

sheikhul Islam of the Mughal Emperor Akbar.

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

He once

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

claimed,

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

he once claimed that I can write a

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

tafsir of the Quran without using any letter

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

that has dots in it.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

So no qaf, no fa, no batatha, no

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

zai, no,

00:17:51 --> 00:17:51

you know,

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

bad, no va.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

Right? He once he once made that that

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

claim that I can write write a a

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

complete tafsir of the Quran. So someone called

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

him out. So on a very what the

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

* basis, he actually wrote it,

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

and it's actually like a cogent tafsir that

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

explains the entire Quran without using any letter

00:18:07 --> 00:18:10

with dots in it in 4 volumes. And,

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

like, it was copied in, like, just as,

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

like, a curiosity, like, spread throughout the Muslim

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

world. There's manuscripts of it in the Arab

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

lands at Damascus and things like that. You'll

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20

find manuscripts of it, apparently. I'm told this

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

by the and I haven't seen him that

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

way myself.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

The thing is though that this guy is

00:18:25 --> 00:18:26

crackpot,

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

He encouraged Akbar to, like, basically start a

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

new religion because, like, Islam is now, like,

00:18:30 --> 00:18:30

old fashioned.

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

Right? People say Islam is old fashioned. That

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34

was, like, back in the Mughal era. I

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

mean, that was a long time ago. Islam

00:18:35 --> 00:18:38

is quote, unquote old fashioned. So so obviously,

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

he's he's not,

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

you know, his that that he has a

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

lot of knowledge. He doesn't have a lot

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

of ilm. Right? So the issue is this

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

is that coming back to the what we're

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

talking about is that if the Hadith business

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

is so cutthroat,

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

still the people are afraid that if they

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

if they if they lie against the prophet

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

not regular people. Regular people are crazy, you

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

know. I'm talking about the the class of,

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

the people who are like the the, like,

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

the the the the the

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

acceptable people from the.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

They were very concerned about this, that they're

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

not gonna jeopardize their akhirah just in order

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

to be in the same book. So you

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

have 3 levels. You can be like Bukhari

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

level, like you're like famous hadith, like Don.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

Right? And then the bottom bottom outcome is

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

Jahannam.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

So they're like, look, in order to try

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

to get the top one, we're not gonna,

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

like, toss ourselves in the hellfire. It's better

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

to be, like, not famous and get the

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

reward for, like, the studying and teaching that

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

you did, even if you don't get famous.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

Better than going to *. Right? It's a

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

very logical process or logical set of outcomes.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

So what happens is that this the result

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

is that the the hadith narrators are very,

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

very picky about their their their wording. This

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

is given the fact that as a matter

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

of that we don't consider the hadith to

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

be preserved word for word anyway.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

So something like this is an excess of

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

of of out of abundance of cautiousness rather

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

than

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

a halal haram issue, like, do I have

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

to or do I not have to?

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

And what ends up happening is, okay, fine.

00:20:03 --> 00:20:04

Not everybody in the system is telling the

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

truth. Right? We would all love to. It's

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

interesting. People go through these phases, like, it's

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

okay. Phase 1, I eat everything but pork,

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

and I watch TV most of the day.

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

Okay? Phase 2, I attended some band from

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

some scholar who's like, oh, look, there's ilm,

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

and then the we have such a wonderful

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

history and legacy, and if you pray, your

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

life gets better. And now I'm like, oh,

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

look. The scholars, there must be some sort

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

of, like, half angel, half, like,

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

type people walking around and everything. And then

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

the next phase is like, oh, wow. After,

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

like, 20 years of hanging out with these

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

people, I realized, like, all of the ones

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

that I know or almost all the ones

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

I know are complete slobs. Or at any

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

rate, they're not that, like, weird, angelic thing

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

that we understood or realized. At that point,

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

you have, like, 2 directions you can go

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

to.

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

You can either be, like, they're all frauds

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

or you can be, like, well, most of

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

them, you know, are are are trying to

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

get, you know,

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

they're trying to do what's best and some

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

of them are bad apples and most of

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

them are somewhere in between the two extremes.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:52

Right?

00:20:53 --> 00:20:54

At that point,

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

come back and look at the Hadith issue.

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

That even if some hadithim, like,

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

fudged the data,

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

all it takes is one of them to

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

mention something like this, and you now have

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

a complete picture of the the the of

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09

of what the prophet

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

didn't say. You understand what I'm saying?

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

Only one of them has to spill the

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

beans.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

And then what posterity will know that this

00:21:18 --> 00:21:19

hadith, there's some shakan in this in this

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

wording.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

And so if the point of hadith is

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

to say how wonderful the is, that's not

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

the point of hadith because this deen is

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

not, like, meant to, you know, worship

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

hadith narrators.

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

It's the worship of Allah ta'ala. What's the

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

point of the hadith is to pass on

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

what said

00:21:37 --> 00:21:38

with integrity?

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

You can know at that point that there

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

is some integrity in the hadith that are

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

being narrated.

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

Why? Because so often you'll see the narrators,

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

they doubt in every generation of the, of

00:21:48 --> 00:21:49

the hadith being transmitted,

00:21:50 --> 00:21:51

if there's a doubt, did I hear this

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

or did I hear that or is the

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

dots like this or is the dots like

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

that, etcetera etcetera. All of it will come

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

out in the wash. If you go, like,

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

you know, read, like, the super long works

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

of that that that the different generations wrote,

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

you'll find you'll pinpoint something or another somewhere.

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

Now this is fun. This is a benefit

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

for Islam. There's

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

more

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

problems behind it and there's more benefit behind

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

that as well. What's the next set of

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

problems?

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

If all these things are so thoroughly documented,

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

a person who is completely

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

unscrupulous and a person who wants to prove

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

whatever they wanna prove in life, oftentimes they

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

wanna prove what they wanna prove in order

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

to make money. Sometimes they wanna do it

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

to impress people. Sometimes they wanna do it

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

to show how smart they are. Sometimes people

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

make stuff up in order to benefit Islam.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:34

There's an entire,

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

genre of

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

hadith that are, like, of the like, that

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

are completely, like, flat out made up.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

That are about, like, the virtues, like, whoever

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

reads

00:22:43 --> 00:22:45

had this many times, you know, this good

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

thing will happen, that good thing will happen.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

The person on his deathbed is like, okay.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:50

I, you know, I'm just gonna admit to

00:22:50 --> 00:22:51

come clean because I don't wanna go to

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

*. I made all these Hadith. Why did

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

you make them up? Well, because I thought

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

people are, you know, they're they're studying too

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

much and they're not studying the book of

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

Allah. And I thought the book of Allah

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

is more worthy that they should study it.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

So people make up stuff for all sorts

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

of reasons. The idea is that now that

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

there's all this material, a person can selectively

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

pick and choose whatever they want to put

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

it together in order to make whatever type

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

of picture they wanna make. Make. This is

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12

problematic.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

This is very problematic.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

Right? This is something that that,

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

the Muslim tradition had from before, and it's

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

something also it's a gift of the western

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

academia of deconstructionism is that you can, you

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

know, you can do that. You can

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

pick and choose data in order to put

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

put it together, in order to paint whatever

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

picture you want to.

00:23:33 --> 00:23:34

Now a person's like, well, if that's the

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

case, then do we know anything anymore?

00:23:37 --> 00:23:39

The Western academia actually uses this as a

00:23:39 --> 00:23:41

parts of it at any rate, use this

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

to return to the former, like, Indo European,

00:23:45 --> 00:23:46

conclusion that there is no such thing as

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

truth. Right? We said, hold on. Hold your

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

horses. If you have half of a brain

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

and you worship Allah and

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

Allah guides you.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

This is part of our this is part

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

of our our,

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

our as well. The guidance isn't something that

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

happened 1400 years ago. It's a continuous process.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

It happens not just not not just to

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

human beings. It happens to the plants and

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

the animals. Allah guides them and and shows

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

them the way forward through whatever different types

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

of means and mechanisms. Some of them natural,

00:24:13 --> 00:24:14

some of them supernatural.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

Right? If you're guided, you will be able

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

to make sense out of out of all

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

of this data. And there are some people

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

who are of such genius

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

level,

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

intellect,

00:24:25 --> 00:24:28

combined with purity spiritually that they will come

00:24:28 --> 00:24:29

out in the a

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30

cohesive and a cogent

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

set of explanations of what's going on in

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

all of this information.

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

And people will use it, and it'll bring

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

them benefit in their life, and they'll reform

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

their lives to the better. And through it,

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

they'll find Allah and his and

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

and and they'll benefit for their this world,

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

their outcomes in this world, and their outcomes

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

in the hereafter.

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

So all of these levels of things are

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

going on, but a person should be cognizant

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

of them. At any rate, the whole, like,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

well, I don't follow Hadith because, like, some

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

of it's made up. Right? This, like, very

00:24:58 --> 00:25:01

sophomoric and very, like, low level, objection, which

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

is very common,

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

amongst people. All I can say is the

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

only reason that Tekfir shouldn't be made of

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

such people is just because, like, they say

00:25:08 --> 00:25:09

so many dumb things in the day. Hopefully,

00:25:09 --> 00:25:12

maybe Allah will forgive them just because they're,

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

like, massively, like, debilitatingly, like,

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

unintelligent people. We pray for the best. And

00:25:17 --> 00:25:18

if it doesn't work out for them, that's

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

their problem because I never said that. You

00:25:20 --> 00:25:21

know what I mean? Like and if I

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

did, I made Tovah for it. You know?

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

I made Tova from saying stuff like that.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

But, these are the things that that that,

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

they show us that they we really weren't

00:25:29 --> 00:25:30

messing around with these things.

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

And if anyone one of them did, there's

00:25:33 --> 00:25:34

so much data. They all they're all gonna

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

get caught.

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

One of the objections, by the way, against

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

Muslim,

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

is what?

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

Is that he went into a majlis all

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

the all the Ulema told him off

00:25:46 --> 00:25:49

that your book like, literally, there are many

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

they saw Sahih Muslim. They got angry. They

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

got upset. So if people are gonna pick

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

on Bukhari, then, you know, Imam Muslim is

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

like, he's, you know, he's on deck, you

00:25:56 --> 00:25:57

know, and the other Sahasat are in the

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

hole. You know? It's it's he's he's gonna

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

get his turn as well. Bukhari doesn't ice

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

skate by with the past, then then then

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

they're all gonna be in line for it.

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

You know? So Muslim, the

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

has read his book, and they're like, what

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

what is this?

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

This is horrible. Alright? You narrate from all

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

of these, like, horrible people.

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

Fulan is like

00:26:17 --> 00:26:18

or Fulan is this person. Fulan is that

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

person. And Muslim is like, look.

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

All of these hadiths that I narrated from

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

these people, I I know better than you

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

what their is.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

But they have a shorter chain of narration,

00:26:29 --> 00:26:31

and there if there wasn't there are several

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

other longer chains of narration

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

through upright and pious narrators

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

that corroborate the content of this hadith,

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

then I wouldn't have narrated it. Now you're

00:26:43 --> 00:26:44

like, oh, wait. You know, that makes sense

00:26:44 --> 00:26:47

again. Obviously, when people get into fights with

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

one another and they take it personally, you

00:26:49 --> 00:26:50

know, then, like, it's like, no. I still

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

disagree with you or whatever. Okay. Fine. People

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

are human beings and stuff like that. You

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

have to also appreciate that. This is one

00:26:55 --> 00:26:57

of the things that that that the the

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

the

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

the the they say that, like, we won't

00:27:01 --> 00:27:04

accept. After a certain point, they stop accepting,

00:27:04 --> 00:27:05

contemporaries

00:27:05 --> 00:27:07

when they speak ill of one another because

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

everyone their contemporaries are gonna be someone or

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

another that that will pick on them in

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

an unfair way. So the next generation, subsequent

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

generations, if they're like, yeah, I know his

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

work was sloppy, then we'll

00:27:17 --> 00:27:18

be

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

we'll be concerned with that. But in the

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

subsequent generations, if they're like, no, his work

00:27:22 --> 00:27:24

was good, then we can we can tolerate

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

a little bit of people's contemporaries picking on

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

them because nobody can make everybody happy.

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

So

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

this is another thing people see getting into

00:27:33 --> 00:27:34

fights and they're like,

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

you know, if the can be can't behave

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

this way, it's no wonder the is, like,

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

you know, in a whole bunch of, like,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

terror and horrible this and that. And and

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

it's like, look, man, are you gonna blame

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

me? Why why are you gonna I got

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

into a fight on Facebook or Twitter with

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

somebody about some ill me issue. Right? It's

00:27:48 --> 00:27:50

it's not like I revolted against the caliphate

00:27:50 --> 00:27:51

and, like you know what I mean? Like,

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

it's not like you can't blame all that

00:27:53 --> 00:27:55

on me. Okay? You blame a lot on

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

me. We can't blame all that on me.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

I'm, you know, unscrupulous. So you're not really

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

out of them anyway. Okay. Fine. Well, if

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

one of the real alumni get got into

00:28:01 --> 00:28:02

a fight with someone about something, you know,

00:28:02 --> 00:28:05

it's actually kind of nice. Why? Because imagine

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

there's a generation of people who used to

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

like, these things were really important for them.

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

So the same guys who are, like, in

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

the masjid and they're, like, oh, you know,

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

you guys fight every year about what what

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

day it is gonna be. This guy, of

00:28:17 --> 00:28:18

course, he's not gonna fight about what day

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

it is gonna be. He doesn't care about

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

the deen.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

You talk about his money,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

then you'll see him, you know, take his

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

gloves off and, like, you know, make his

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

way across the street, you know, for, like,

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

little post whatever meeting.

00:28:31 --> 00:28:33

So okay. Fine. You know, there's some silver

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

lining in all of these things. A person

00:28:34 --> 00:28:37

of Helman, a person of of of of

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

like, that takes a second pause and reflects

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

on things. You'll see there's some in everything,

00:28:41 --> 00:28:42

there's some bad in everything, usually.

00:28:43 --> 00:28:46

And they'll take the and they'll leave the

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

the shard. But at any rate,

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

when you whenever you read these things, know

00:28:51 --> 00:28:52

that this is a person by doing this,

00:28:52 --> 00:28:55

he, there's a good chance that their their

00:28:55 --> 00:28:57

entire narrating the Hadith will would have, like,

00:28:57 --> 00:28:58

gone down in ignominy,

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

but they told the truth anyway. And then

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

it turned out that it didn't go down.

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

I mean, people people actually respected the and

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

whatnot. And then people did and once the

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

difference is mentioned, you have a clue that

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

there there's something here, then people can investigate

00:29:11 --> 00:29:13

and find out, like, which one is it

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

or whatever. Right? Oftentimes, like, you'll have 4

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

books written on the same thing,

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

or or, like, in which the same narration

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

is across, like, one is written in Spain

00:29:21 --> 00:29:22

and one is written in Morocco and one

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

is written in, like, in Bukhara and the

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

other is written in whatever, you know, Iraq

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

or whatever. And so then, like and and

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

they don't read each other's books because it's

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

not like they're gonna be like, hey, yo.

00:29:31 --> 00:29:32

Like, how's your book coming, you know, on

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

the phone or nothing? So what happens is,

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

like, generations later, someone will go to hide

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

and see all 4 books, put them in

00:29:38 --> 00:29:39

front of them, and then they'll figure it

00:29:39 --> 00:29:39

out.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

All of this is very frustrating for people

00:29:43 --> 00:29:45

who wanna discredit Islam.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

Why? Because it means people didn't fudge the

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

data. And so they say one of the

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

things about the Sunni tradition that causes us

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

to suspect it's suspect in our eyes is

00:29:53 --> 00:29:56

because, you know, their ulama wrote explanations that

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

are too too convenient because they all make

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

sense. And we say, okay. Well, if something

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

makes sense, making sense is a fact that

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

it's a fabrication or indicates that it's a

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

fabrication,

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

then, that's your I mean, that's your problem

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

in your head. Things making sense is not

00:30:10 --> 00:30:13

a doesn't more often doesn't point to things

00:30:13 --> 00:30:15

not being true, but more often than not,

00:30:15 --> 00:30:17

it points to things being true.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

And at any rate, it's definitely not a

00:30:19 --> 00:30:21

proof that it's not true. So if you

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

want to actually make and show, like, where

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

things are wrong, go right ahead.

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

Otherwise, this in and of itself,

00:30:28 --> 00:30:29

is like a really silly doubt for people

00:30:29 --> 00:30:31

to entertain inside of their minds.

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

Stand stand by thee,

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

stand by thee,

00:30:54 --> 00:30:54

on the,

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

behind the Imam in the middle of the

00:30:57 --> 00:30:58

in the middle of the line.

00:30:59 --> 00:31:00

And

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

before that, what was mentioned, there's a hadith

00:31:04 --> 00:31:05

of which

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

we skipped.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:12

We skipped this translation at any rate, which

00:31:12 --> 00:31:13

is what,

00:31:14 --> 00:31:17

that Allah and his angels wrote,

00:31:17 --> 00:31:18

Alayhi Mus Salam,

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

they send their blessings down on the right

00:31:21 --> 00:31:22

side of the saff,

00:31:22 --> 00:31:25

on the right side of the the the

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

the line.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

And then, there's another hadith that's mentioned not

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

in the rial of the Sahin, but it's

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

mentioned in the

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

in the commentary

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

that the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa

00:31:34 --> 00:31:35

sallam said narrated

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

by,

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

by by Ibn Majah.

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

That he said

00:31:47 --> 00:31:50

That whoever whoever inhabits the masjid on the

00:31:50 --> 00:31:52

left side, that person will double the other.

00:31:53 --> 00:31:54

So now what do we have? We have

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

one hadith

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

indicating that the right side is the the

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

the the the place to be,

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

And another hadith narrating the indicating that the

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

middle is the best the place to be.

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

And the other hadith heavy teeth indicating the

00:32:06 --> 00:32:07

left side is the best to be.

00:32:09 --> 00:32:10

So what are you gonna do about that?

00:32:11 --> 00:32:12

So if you're the type of person, like,

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

oh, look, you heard 1 Hadith and that's

00:32:14 --> 00:32:15

it. Like, you know, you're now you're ready

00:32:15 --> 00:32:16

for, like, World War 3,

00:32:18 --> 00:32:20

and like against every other opinion,

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

then what are you gonna do with stuff

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

like this? There are so many there are

00:32:24 --> 00:32:25

so many occasions in which,

00:32:27 --> 00:32:27

the

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

will put put you in a situation like

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

this,

00:32:33 --> 00:32:35

that, you don't know what to do. And

00:32:35 --> 00:32:36

this is one of the reasons that we're

00:32:36 --> 00:32:38

the we're not the Hadith.

00:32:40 --> 00:32:43

Right? The the the the the the body

00:32:43 --> 00:32:45

of the Muslims that are described as being

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

on guidance are the Ahlul Sunnah, they're not

00:32:47 --> 00:32:48

the Ahlul Hadith.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

There are Ahlul Hadith within Ahlul Sunnah.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

But that's not something that the whole Umrah

00:32:53 --> 00:32:54

agreed on, nor is it the most of

00:32:54 --> 00:32:56

it. If it and by then by extension,

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

if it's something that's agreed upon

00:32:59 --> 00:33:00

versus something that's disagreed upon, the thing that's

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

agreed upon has a higher level in the

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

deen than the thing that that there's a

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

difference of opinion on.

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

So we don't consider we we say

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

we don't say

00:33:10 --> 00:33:11

What is the Sunnah? The Sunnah is the

00:33:11 --> 00:33:13

actual explanation out of all of these different

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

athaar. The hadith are just the narrations, the

00:33:15 --> 00:33:16

the individual narrations.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:18

So there's so many different issues. The prophet,

00:33:18 --> 00:33:20

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, his wudu, wiped his

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

head once, he wiped his head twice, he

00:33:21 --> 00:33:23

wiped his head 3 times. You know, kas,

00:33:23 --> 00:33:24

you have now you know, you have all

00:33:24 --> 00:33:25

these,

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

different narrations that that that you could either

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

say, well, 2 are wrong and one is

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

right,

00:33:30 --> 00:33:32

or you could say all of them are

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

right at the same time.

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

On the, like, all of the the meanings

00:33:36 --> 00:33:38

are right. Well, he could I I mean,

00:33:38 --> 00:33:40

theoretically, he can only wipe his head once,

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

twice, or 3. You can't just do all

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

3 at the same time. I guess, theoretically,

00:33:43 --> 00:33:45

it's a it's a possibility that he did

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

all the 3 different things at different times.

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

But that's not I mean, here, this cannot

00:33:49 --> 00:33:51

be possible. Right? Wiping your head, you can

00:33:51 --> 00:33:53

do, like, once, twice, three times, different times.

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

This this one, you're gonna get more reward

00:33:55 --> 00:33:56

for being in all three places.

00:33:57 --> 00:33:58

It defeats the purpose of you in saying

00:33:58 --> 00:34:00

anything because if you're gonna get more reward

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

for all three places, then there's no more.

00:34:02 --> 00:34:04

It's like if everyone's excellent, no one's excellent.

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

Right? So what is it? Now you have

00:34:06 --> 00:34:08

to now you have to analyze

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

and you have to use your brain, which

00:34:10 --> 00:34:12

is not something that there's no hadith for

00:34:12 --> 00:34:13

that that that that will tell you how

00:34:13 --> 00:34:14

to how to reconcile all of these things.

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

You have to use your own brain and

00:34:16 --> 00:34:17

understand these things.

00:34:17 --> 00:34:19

Right? You have to use your own brain

00:34:19 --> 00:34:20

and understand these things.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

And this is the whole point of Ijtihad,

00:34:22 --> 00:34:23

this is the whole point of ilm.

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

The ilm is not just the information, it's

00:34:26 --> 00:34:27

a nur that Allah puts in your heart

00:34:27 --> 00:34:29

that lets you put that information to use

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

for the betterment of your duniya and your

00:34:31 --> 00:34:31

akhirah,

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

and for that of the Ummah of the

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

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and in order

00:34:35 --> 00:34:36

to make Allah happy with

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

you. So

00:34:40 --> 00:34:42

the explanation of all of these things will

00:34:42 --> 00:34:44

allow them. The Ulema have different opinions about

00:34:44 --> 00:34:46

these things, but the explanation that that seems

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

to make most sense to me. And then

00:34:48 --> 00:34:49

if someone else says something else, you can

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

go learn that from them as well.

00:34:51 --> 00:34:54

Is that the the the default is what

00:34:54 --> 00:34:56

that every, the best place in the is

00:34:56 --> 00:34:57

the one that's dead behind the imam.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

Perhaps with the exception of the first, assuming

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

it's going to fill up anyway.

00:35:05 --> 00:35:07

But the best the the best place is

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

the one that's dead behind the imam. And

00:35:09 --> 00:35:10

this is the meaning of this is the

00:35:10 --> 00:35:12

meaning of was it, like stay in the

00:35:12 --> 00:35:13

you know, stay close to the middle of

00:35:13 --> 00:35:15

the salah. Then

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

there are 2 places that are that that

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

that are the number 2 possibilities.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:21

One is to the right of the person

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

who's dead behind the imam, and one is

00:35:23 --> 00:35:24

to the left of the person who's dead

00:35:24 --> 00:35:25

behind the imam.

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

The hadith with regards to the hadith with

00:35:28 --> 00:35:30

regards to the the the benefit of being

00:35:30 --> 00:35:31

on the right

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

is

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

with regards to the the one that's to

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

the right of the imam.

00:35:37 --> 00:35:38

That it takes prior or to to the

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

right of the dead center. It takes priority

00:35:41 --> 00:35:42

over the one that's to the left of

00:35:42 --> 00:35:43

dead center.

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

Then after that, 2 more places,

00:35:46 --> 00:35:48

2 more places, there's a you know, that

00:35:48 --> 00:35:49

you fill the right one and then the

00:35:49 --> 00:35:50

left one.

00:35:50 --> 00:35:52

But the the right space 2 peep 2

00:35:52 --> 00:35:55

spaces over is less reward than the left

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

space one one place over. Why? Because the

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

left space one one space over is closer

00:35:59 --> 00:36:00

to the center.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

The the occasion of the hadith of that

00:36:05 --> 00:36:06

we mentioned, that the person who stands on

00:36:06 --> 00:36:08

their left hand stays in the right right

00:36:08 --> 00:36:09

side of the,

00:36:10 --> 00:36:11

rather, sorry, the left side of the Masjid,

00:36:11 --> 00:36:13

that person will get double the edger.

00:36:13 --> 00:36:14

The meaning of it is this is that

00:36:14 --> 00:36:15

the prophet

00:36:16 --> 00:36:17

initially indicated to the

00:36:18 --> 00:36:20

about the virtues of being on the right

00:36:20 --> 00:36:21

side of the right right hand side of

00:36:21 --> 00:36:22

the saff of the road.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:26

Because of that,

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

the rights the right side would populate and

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

there's, like, a stigma on the left side.

00:36:31 --> 00:36:32

So he's saying

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

okay. Because you, you know, because you you

00:36:35 --> 00:36:37

prefer with your heart the left side, know

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

that if you go to the left side

00:36:39 --> 00:36:41

of the of the masjid to a place

00:36:41 --> 00:36:42

that's better, it's closer to the center of

00:36:42 --> 00:36:44

the saaf, Instead of keeping the stigma, no

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

Allah will give you more reward because you're

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

you're doing you're following what the commandment is

00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

rather than following what you want.

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

I've heard I've heard from I've heard from,

00:36:57 --> 00:37:00

people also that this this right left, right

00:37:00 --> 00:37:02

left, hierarchy is for the rest of the

00:37:02 --> 00:37:04

that the front row, it's better to fill

00:37:04 --> 00:37:05

up the right first

00:37:05 --> 00:37:07

because you know that the it's the front

00:37:07 --> 00:37:08

row is gonna fill up.

00:37:09 --> 00:37:11

And if that's the case, then that's an

00:37:11 --> 00:37:13

issue. If not, it's not and, you know,

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

there's different about this. To be honest with

00:37:15 --> 00:37:17

you, I didn't make the on it. But

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

the idea is what

00:37:18 --> 00:37:20

is that there are, there are ways in

00:37:20 --> 00:37:21

all of these types of different,

00:37:21 --> 00:37:24

you know, different cases where the hadith seemingly,

00:37:24 --> 00:37:26

clash with one another. They're very common sense

00:37:26 --> 00:37:29

explanations that that allow a person to reconcile

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

them with one another,

00:37:30 --> 00:37:33

and the path of reconciliation is superior to

00:37:33 --> 00:37:34

the path of,

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

of of of,

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

irreconcilability

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

to say that one is right and one

00:37:39 --> 00:37:41

is wrong. If you wanna say the hadith

00:37:41 --> 00:37:42

is wrong, then look through the chain of

00:37:42 --> 00:37:44

narration and show show who's the liar.

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

There's objectivity in that, that you're not just

00:37:49 --> 00:37:50

picking the the the text of the hadith

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

that makes you happy.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

If they're all reliably narrated,

00:37:56 --> 00:37:58

then then then, at least the Maliki

00:37:59 --> 00:38:00

they consider it to be

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

superior

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

that a person should reconcile between different narrations.

00:38:05 --> 00:38:06

See, is there a possibility that all of

00:38:06 --> 00:38:09

these narrations can be true at the same

00:38:09 --> 00:38:11

time and understand what the place of,

00:38:11 --> 00:38:13

every one of them is?

00:38:27 --> 00:38:29

It's a chapter regarding the virtue of

00:38:30 --> 00:38:31

those,

00:38:32 --> 00:38:32

nonobligatory

00:38:33 --> 00:38:33

prayers

00:38:34 --> 00:38:35

that are,

00:38:35 --> 00:38:38

connected with the obligatory prayers.

00:38:39 --> 00:38:40

And the

00:38:41 --> 00:38:43

description of what is the least of of

00:38:43 --> 00:38:45

them and what is the most

00:38:46 --> 00:38:48

complete of them and then a description of

00:38:48 --> 00:38:49

how to pray them in the middle.

00:38:50 --> 00:38:50

Now,

00:38:52 --> 00:38:54

as far as the as far as how

00:38:54 --> 00:38:55

many rakas do I pray pray before this

00:38:55 --> 00:38:57

or pray after this, don't just read the

00:38:57 --> 00:38:59

hadith and say that this is it. The

00:38:59 --> 00:39:02

have different about different things based on different

00:39:02 --> 00:39:04

things. The Malika position, as far as I

00:39:04 --> 00:39:05

can tell, is the easiest

00:39:06 --> 00:39:08

one, which is what which is that there

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

are certain prayers.

00:39:09 --> 00:39:12

It's it's a sunnah to pray extra, rakat

00:39:12 --> 00:39:13

before them,

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

and there's certain ones there's sunnah to pray

00:39:15 --> 00:39:18

extra rakat after them, and there's certain ones

00:39:19 --> 00:39:20

that it's a pray extra

00:39:20 --> 00:39:21

before and after them

00:39:22 --> 00:39:25

without a a or without any any defined

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

number of extra

00:39:28 --> 00:39:29

rakaat.

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

Then afterward,

00:39:31 --> 00:39:33

different numbers have different virtues,

00:39:34 --> 00:39:35

according to the hadith

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

narrated. But as a issue, it's a sunnah.

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

If you wanna say I follow the sunnah

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

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, a

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

person can pray 2, 4, 6, 8, any

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

set thereof

00:39:44 --> 00:39:47

before or after or both before and after.

00:39:47 --> 00:39:48

The other I have actually have, like, set

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

numbers with regards to those things. You can

00:39:50 --> 00:39:52

go to and learn what those things are.

00:39:53 --> 00:39:53

Go to your

00:39:54 --> 00:39:57

your and your and, you know, ask them

00:39:57 --> 00:39:58

what's up, and they'll they'll be happy to

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

explain that to you. But here, we're just

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

talking about what? We're talking about the

00:40:03 --> 00:40:06

the, the spiritual benefit and spiritual virtue of

00:40:06 --> 00:40:07

doing that.

00:40:57 --> 00:40:58

Narrates. And so he

00:40:59 --> 00:41:02

it's mentioned here in the in the hadith

00:41:02 --> 00:41:03

that Habiba,

00:41:04 --> 00:41:05

the daughter of Abu Sufyan,

00:41:06 --> 00:41:07

her name was what?

00:41:07 --> 00:41:08

It was Ramla.

00:41:09 --> 00:41:10

Although

00:41:10 --> 00:41:12

the the some of the some of the

00:41:12 --> 00:41:12

Muhandidin

00:41:13 --> 00:41:16

narrate that her name was Hind, but, the

00:41:16 --> 00:41:18

Mashhur, the well known in the majority majority

00:41:18 --> 00:41:20

position is what that her name was, Ramla.

00:41:22 --> 00:41:25

And Habiba is who? She was married to

00:41:25 --> 00:41:25

Ubaidullah,

00:41:26 --> 00:41:26

Ubaidullah,

00:41:28 --> 00:41:28

Ibnu

00:41:28 --> 00:41:29

Jahsh,

00:41:31 --> 00:41:33

when they made Hijra to Habasha

00:41:34 --> 00:41:38

to Abyssinia. It's interesting. It's actually it's actually,

00:41:38 --> 00:41:39

mentioned here. Right?

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

The in the in the commentary.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:43

Right?

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

So this is an honor. It's mentioned with

00:42:11 --> 00:42:12

honor actually

00:42:12 --> 00:42:15

that she is the the daughter of Abu

00:42:15 --> 00:42:16

Sufyan whose name is Sahar.

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

Uh-uh.

00:42:18 --> 00:42:19

Sahar bin Harb

00:42:20 --> 00:42:24

bin Umayyah bin Abdul Shams bin Abdul Manaf,

00:42:25 --> 00:42:28

which Abdul Manaf is the the common ancestor

00:42:28 --> 00:42:30

between Abu Abu Sufyan and the prophet sallallahu

00:42:30 --> 00:42:31

alaihi wa sallam.

00:42:32 --> 00:42:33

People forget this.

00:42:34 --> 00:42:35

But sayin Omar,

00:42:36 --> 00:42:37

Abu Jahl,

00:42:38 --> 00:42:39

Abu Salamah,

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

these people are a different clade of Quresh.

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

Banu Umayyah is the close the the the

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

clade of Quresh which is close to Banu

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

Hashim.

00:42:48 --> 00:42:50

People forget this that, you know, like, because

00:42:50 --> 00:42:51

of, like, whatever extremist,

00:42:52 --> 00:42:54

extremist, like, Rafi the rhetoric. They make it,

00:42:54 --> 00:42:56

like, as if there's, like, some showdown between

00:42:56 --> 00:42:59

Banu Hashim and and Banu Meyia. That's not

00:42:59 --> 00:42:59

the case.

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

That's not the case at all.

00:43:02 --> 00:43:06

In fact in fact, Banu Meyia was pushing

00:43:06 --> 00:43:07

Saidna Ali that you go and take the

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

caliphate or you know? Why? Because

00:43:10 --> 00:43:11

the in the in the in the, like,

00:43:11 --> 00:43:13

the family tree, they're the closer half of

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

the family, actually.

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

They're

00:43:17 --> 00:43:17

the

00:43:19 --> 00:43:20

closer half of the family. They're actually as

00:43:20 --> 00:43:22

cousins, they're closer to one another.

00:43:22 --> 00:43:23

Banu Abdul

00:43:23 --> 00:43:24

Manaf.

00:43:24 --> 00:43:25

So,

00:43:25 --> 00:43:27

so Abdul Manaf is the same,

00:43:28 --> 00:43:30

the same what you call

00:43:30 --> 00:43:32

the common ancestor that

00:43:33 --> 00:43:34

that shared between

00:43:35 --> 00:43:37

between Abu Sufyan and the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:43:37 --> 00:43:39

wa sallam. But it's mentioned here I think

00:43:39 --> 00:43:41

it's it's it's it's nice to note that

00:43:41 --> 00:43:44

it's mentioned here as a point of honor

00:43:44 --> 00:43:46

that she's from Quraysh and she's from Banumayyah

00:43:46 --> 00:43:47

and she's Makki,

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

and and she's she's that she's a Meccan

00:43:49 --> 00:43:51

and she's a Abyssinian and then she was

00:43:51 --> 00:43:53

an Abyssinian and then she was

00:43:53 --> 00:43:54

from Medina.

00:43:55 --> 00:43:57

That that's mentioned being Habashi is mentioned as

00:43:57 --> 00:44:00

a a a sifa of the wife of

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

the prophet

00:44:01 --> 00:44:03

and a sifa of of of honor. You

00:44:03 --> 00:44:05

know? Why? Because it's between Makar and Medina.

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

So,

00:44:07 --> 00:44:09

a person knows that this is also a

00:44:09 --> 00:44:11

a matter of honor for those of, for

00:44:11 --> 00:44:13

those of us who carry the the wasavas

00:44:13 --> 00:44:15

of Jahiliya inside of our our hearts. It's

00:44:15 --> 00:44:17

good to read things like that in order

00:44:17 --> 00:44:18

to cure them. So,

00:44:22 --> 00:44:25

her husband, Riddula bin Jah passes away in,

00:44:26 --> 00:44:27

in in,

00:44:28 --> 00:44:28

in

00:44:29 --> 00:44:30

in in Abyssinia.

00:44:31 --> 00:44:32

And after he dies,

00:44:33 --> 00:44:34

the prophet

00:44:34 --> 00:44:36

marries her, and

00:44:37 --> 00:44:39

it's narrated that Najashi himself, the the Negus

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41

the the Abyssinian king.

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

He'll send a a a a dowry,

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

Alois, the shariai dowry is not like this,

00:44:47 --> 00:44:48

but he'll send a dowry, a gift

00:44:49 --> 00:44:49

for

00:44:50 --> 00:44:52

on the occasion of their marriage to Madinah

00:44:53 --> 00:44:54

which,

00:44:54 --> 00:44:56

with Shaul Habil Bin Hasana,

00:44:58 --> 00:44:59

of

00:44:59 --> 00:45:02

in one narration, it's 4,000 dinars, 4,000 silver

00:45:02 --> 00:45:06

coins, sorry, dirhams, 4,000 silver coins, and another

00:45:06 --> 00:45:09

narration of 400 dinars, 400 golden coins.

00:45:10 --> 00:45:11

And the prophet

00:45:11 --> 00:45:12

married her,

00:45:13 --> 00:45:14

out of honor of her that, look, she

00:45:14 --> 00:45:16

made Hijra for the in the path of

00:45:16 --> 00:45:19

Allah and she's far from home, and her

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

husband died.

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

And so this is a custom that the

00:45:22 --> 00:45:23

Muslims used to take care of their the

00:45:23 --> 00:45:25

the the the widows, and they used to

00:45:25 --> 00:45:26

take care of,

00:45:27 --> 00:45:28

they used to take care of,

00:45:29 --> 00:45:30

widows, and they used to take care of

00:45:30 --> 00:45:33

the the the women that they're, they have

00:45:33 --> 00:45:34

no one to provide for them and no

00:45:34 --> 00:45:37

one to protect them. Given the fact that

00:45:37 --> 00:45:39

she's in Abyssinia at this time

00:45:39 --> 00:45:41

and her father is, like, one of the

00:45:41 --> 00:45:42

big enemies of Islam,

00:45:44 --> 00:45:46

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam did what?

00:45:46 --> 00:45:48

He honored he he honored her by marrying

00:45:48 --> 00:45:50

her. Up nowadays, the logic is different, You

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

know, people say, you know, if a man

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

takes another wife, they'll freak out and they'll,

00:45:54 --> 00:45:55

like, you know, call him a pig or

00:45:55 --> 00:45:55

whatever.

00:45:56 --> 00:45:59

And, that's that's a and it's a, you

00:45:59 --> 00:46:01

know, it's a peril to their own iman.

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

And this doesn't necessarily mean that everybody some

00:46:03 --> 00:46:05

man may happen to be a pig and

00:46:05 --> 00:46:06

find get a second wife. That's a different

00:46:06 --> 00:46:08

issue, But it's not like Laz and Mazum.

00:46:08 --> 00:46:10

Right? So don't think like, oh, look. I'm

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

gonna, you you know, send send send send

00:46:12 --> 00:46:14

my pig on this real Sahin recording

00:46:14 --> 00:46:16

order. If you're a fanzier, that's your issue.

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

Right?

00:46:16 --> 00:46:18

But it doesn't mean that necessarily that's the

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

way people are like, well, if you wanna

00:46:19 --> 00:46:20

support her, why don't you give her money?

00:46:20 --> 00:46:22

What? Does money solve all the problems in

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

the world?

00:46:23 --> 00:46:24

It doesn't.

00:46:25 --> 00:46:26

So she so the prophet

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

honored her by by by by marrying her.

00:46:28 --> 00:46:31

And look at also Rasuulullah Sallahu Alaihi Salam

00:46:31 --> 00:46:32

what kind of person he is.

00:46:33 --> 00:46:34

The daughter of the

00:46:35 --> 00:46:36

the the the one who's like the chief,

00:46:36 --> 00:46:38

the emir of your enemies.

00:46:39 --> 00:46:40

If he was a if he was a

00:46:40 --> 00:46:41

wretched person,

00:46:42 --> 00:46:43

He could have humiliated her as a way

00:46:43 --> 00:46:44

to get to him.

00:46:45 --> 00:46:47

But what did he do? He honored her.

00:46:47 --> 00:46:49

And in the long run, it actually got

00:46:49 --> 00:46:51

to him even more. What happens? Abu Sufyan

00:46:51 --> 00:46:53

comes to Madinah Munawarra,

00:46:53 --> 00:46:55

like, right before the fact is about to

00:46:55 --> 00:46:55

happen.

00:46:57 --> 00:46:58

No one gives him the time of day.

00:46:59 --> 00:47:00

Like, even

00:47:01 --> 00:47:02

who recognizes him used to be a slave

00:47:02 --> 00:47:04

back in Mecca. They spent so many like,

00:47:04 --> 00:47:06

they knew him. Right? He was just like,

00:47:06 --> 00:47:07

you know, and even

00:47:08 --> 00:47:10

was not giving him the time of day.

00:47:10 --> 00:47:11

He used to be a slave,

00:47:12 --> 00:47:14

and, Abu Sufyan was one of the noblemen

00:47:14 --> 00:47:15

of Quraysh,

00:47:15 --> 00:47:17

and so he sees him again. Won't give

00:47:17 --> 00:47:18

him a time of day. And then what

00:47:18 --> 00:47:19

does he do? He goes to his daughter's

00:47:19 --> 00:47:20

house because she's married to the messenger of

00:47:20 --> 00:47:24

Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Right? So this

00:47:24 --> 00:47:25

is I mean, this is a position of

00:47:25 --> 00:47:28

desperation he's in now. Right? That he's gonna

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

go to his daughter who's going to

00:47:30 --> 00:47:32

who's going to what? Who's going to, like,

00:47:32 --> 00:47:34

give him audience he thinks of the prophet

00:47:34 --> 00:47:36

sallallahu alaihi wasallam. And when he comes to

00:47:36 --> 00:47:38

sit down in the Hujra, in the in

00:47:38 --> 00:47:38

the room,

00:47:39 --> 00:47:41

which is attached to the masjid, she pulls

00:47:41 --> 00:47:43

the mat back. So and and he's, like,

00:47:43 --> 00:47:45

he's confused what's going on.

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

Like,

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

are you, like, trying to insult me, or

00:47:49 --> 00:47:50

is it just that the mat is not

00:47:50 --> 00:47:51

good enough for me? Because they're they're they're

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

you know, like, he because he sees the

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

simplicity with which they live. He's like, I

00:47:55 --> 00:47:56

don't get it. Like, is the math too

00:47:56 --> 00:47:57

good for me or am I too good

00:47:57 --> 00:47:58

for the math? I don't get what's going

00:47:58 --> 00:48:01

on. What but who would do that?

00:48:01 --> 00:48:03

Especially in Jahili. Nowadays, everyone's like, yeah, I

00:48:03 --> 00:48:04

hate my dad. But, like, back in the

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

day. Right? But back in the day, it

00:48:06 --> 00:48:07

wasn't like that in Jahiliya.

00:48:07 --> 00:48:09

Like, they literally used to, like, worship their

00:48:09 --> 00:48:10

ancestors.

00:48:10 --> 00:48:12

They literally used to worship their ancestors.

00:48:13 --> 00:48:15

So he's like he's like completely at a

00:48:15 --> 00:48:17

loss. Why would she do that?

00:48:17 --> 00:48:20

He's not brainwashing or indoctrination. In fact in

00:48:20 --> 00:48:22

fact, if anything, the the Quran itself,

00:48:23 --> 00:48:25

seems to indicate that the highest of a

00:48:25 --> 00:48:26

person after the

00:48:28 --> 00:48:29

after Allah and his Rasul

00:48:30 --> 00:48:31

is 2,

00:48:32 --> 00:48:33

is to your parents.

00:48:33 --> 00:48:36

The fuqaha have some details with regards to

00:48:36 --> 00:48:38

that. Actually, for a woman, it's her husband,

00:48:38 --> 00:48:40

then her parents. Again, if your husband happens

00:48:40 --> 00:48:42

to be a kanzir, don't bring this into

00:48:42 --> 00:48:45

it. I mean, this is like a normal

00:48:45 --> 00:48:47

situation. Right? But why would she do that?

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

That's not the custom of her people,

00:48:50 --> 00:48:51

except for the messenger of Allah

00:48:52 --> 00:48:53

treated her well.

00:48:54 --> 00:48:56

So she's gonna feel attachment to him.

00:48:57 --> 00:48:59

And so and what did he do? He

00:48:59 --> 00:49:00

honored he honored her

00:49:04 --> 00:49:04

Allah.

00:49:05 --> 00:49:05

Allah

00:49:05 --> 00:49:06

have,

00:49:06 --> 00:49:08

be pleased with all of them.

00:49:09 --> 00:49:12

Her her brother, she lives 44 years after

00:49:12 --> 00:49:12

the

00:49:12 --> 00:49:14

after the the hijra.

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

And,

00:49:18 --> 00:49:19

have mercy on her. So she narrates this

00:49:19 --> 00:49:21

hadith. There's a lot more to to say,

00:49:21 --> 00:49:23

but it's going to we gotta we gotta

00:49:23 --> 00:49:24

read the rest of the hadith.

00:49:27 --> 00:49:28

That,

00:49:28 --> 00:49:30

she said, I heard the messenger of Allah

00:49:32 --> 00:49:32

say,

00:49:33 --> 00:49:36

there's no there's no slave who submits to

00:49:36 --> 00:49:37

Allah to Allah who prays,

00:49:38 --> 00:49:39

to Allah to Allah

00:49:40 --> 00:49:42

every day as a habit. 12,

00:49:44 --> 00:49:46

that are not far, that are not an

00:49:46 --> 00:49:46

obligation,

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

other than those that are obligatory,

00:49:50 --> 00:49:52

except for Allah will build for for for

00:49:52 --> 00:49:53

them a house in Jannah,

00:49:54 --> 00:49:55

or,

00:49:55 --> 00:49:56

that a house will be built for them

00:49:56 --> 00:49:57

in Jannah.

00:49:57 --> 00:50:00

Again, meaning exact exact same thing, but out

00:50:00 --> 00:50:01

of out of cautiousness,

00:50:02 --> 00:50:02

there is,

00:50:04 --> 00:50:05

there is what? There's a

00:50:06 --> 00:50:08

recognition that

00:50:08 --> 00:50:10

that the wording might have been here or

00:50:10 --> 00:50:12

there a little bit out of the consciousness

00:50:12 --> 00:50:12

and fear of

00:50:18 --> 00:50:18

Allah

00:50:31 --> 00:50:32

He,

00:50:32 --> 00:50:34

narrates that I prayed with the messenger of

00:50:34 --> 00:50:36

Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:50:39 --> 00:50:41

2 rakas before Zuhr and 2 rakas after

00:50:41 --> 00:50:43

it, and 2 rakas after Jumuah,

00:50:43 --> 00:50:45

and 2 rakas after Maghrib,

00:50:46 --> 00:50:47

and 2 rakas after Isha.

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

So he's mentioning that that that he's seen

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

the prophet

00:50:51 --> 00:50:53

pray at these times and that he also

00:50:53 --> 00:50:54

used to pray with him at these times.

00:51:26 --> 00:51:27

That,

00:51:27 --> 00:51:28

the messenger of Allah

00:51:30 --> 00:51:31

said,

00:51:31 --> 00:51:33

between, every 2 Adans,

00:51:34 --> 00:51:36

is a prayer. Between every 2 Adans is

00:51:36 --> 00:51:38

a prayer. Between every 2 Adans is a

00:51:38 --> 00:51:39

prayer.

00:51:39 --> 00:51:41

And then the 3rd time he added, for

00:51:41 --> 00:51:42

whoever wishes.

00:51:43 --> 00:51:44

The 2 Adans are what?

00:51:45 --> 00:51:45

He

00:51:46 --> 00:51:47

he he,

00:51:47 --> 00:51:49

he writes that the 2 Adans are

00:51:50 --> 00:51:52

the Adan and Iqamah.

00:51:52 --> 00:51:53

This is a

00:51:53 --> 00:51:55

this is a custom of the Arabs that

00:51:55 --> 00:51:57

they'll they'll do they'll they'll say stuff like

00:51:57 --> 00:51:59

that. Right? Like, the 2 of Zohr and

00:51:59 --> 00:51:59

Asr.

00:52:01 --> 00:52:02

Right? The 2 is.

00:52:03 --> 00:52:06

The 2 black things is dates and water.

00:52:06 --> 00:52:07

The dates are black. The water obviously isn't

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

black, but, you know, dates is dates, you

00:52:09 --> 00:52:10

know, you you can starve to death with

00:52:10 --> 00:52:12

the dates. The water is not supernourishing. Right?

00:52:12 --> 00:52:14

So they call that. I don't know why.

00:52:14 --> 00:52:15

Maybe there's another reason. Maybe there's I don't

00:52:15 --> 00:52:17

know. That's the thing that that the Arabs

00:52:17 --> 00:52:19

say. Right? So they understood

00:52:19 --> 00:52:21

what the point what the point of it

00:52:21 --> 00:52:21

was.

00:52:23 --> 00:52:24

I remember once I,

00:52:25 --> 00:52:28

because this is the the the of the

00:52:28 --> 00:52:30

the the the the Malekis and the Hanafis

00:52:30 --> 00:52:31

that,

00:52:32 --> 00:52:33

that,

00:52:33 --> 00:52:36

the Adan is called, and then the is

00:52:36 --> 00:52:38

called and the prayer starts.

00:52:38 --> 00:52:40

There's no delay. And so someone once came

00:52:40 --> 00:52:41

to me and said,

00:52:43 --> 00:52:45

said, oh, there's but what about the hadith

00:52:45 --> 00:52:47

that there's a prayer between, the Adan and

00:52:47 --> 00:52:49

every Adan and Iqamah?

00:52:49 --> 00:52:51

I was like, okay. I'll look at it

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

and come back.

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

And then,

00:52:55 --> 00:52:57

I was like, yeah. You forgot the last

00:52:57 --> 00:52:57

part.

00:52:58 --> 00:53:01

For whoever wishes to. So this means what?

00:53:03 --> 00:53:05

If they're gonna pray, like, 10 minutes later,

00:53:05 --> 00:53:06

then if you pray, there's nothing wrong with

00:53:06 --> 00:53:08

it. But it's not it's not a sunnah

00:53:08 --> 00:53:09

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam regularly

00:53:09 --> 00:53:11

to to do so, and Allah Allah knows

00:53:11 --> 00:53:14

best. But between the adhan and the ifama,

00:53:14 --> 00:53:15

this is a Mubarak time. A person who's

00:53:15 --> 00:53:17

in the masjid especially between the adhan and

00:53:17 --> 00:53:18

the iqamah,

00:53:18 --> 00:53:19

this is a Mubarak time and this is

00:53:19 --> 00:53:21

the time the prayers are answered. You're gonna

00:53:21 --> 00:53:23

get more you get more mileage out of

00:53:23 --> 00:53:25

your salat, out of your.

00:53:25 --> 00:53:27

And the point of the chapter is what?

00:53:28 --> 00:53:30

That the prayers are one of the highest

00:53:31 --> 00:53:33

means of making spiritual progress.

00:53:34 --> 00:53:36

People who are really excited about, like, cultural

00:53:36 --> 00:53:37

Sufism,

00:53:38 --> 00:53:39

you know, they think that the

00:53:39 --> 00:53:41

the your end goal in life is to

00:53:41 --> 00:53:43

fly around in the air and shoot lightning

00:53:43 --> 00:53:45

bolts out of your, fingers or whatever,

00:53:46 --> 00:53:46

and,

00:53:47 --> 00:53:47

it's not.

00:53:49 --> 00:53:50

It's not. Even if there were people who

00:53:50 --> 00:53:51

could do that,

00:53:52 --> 00:53:54

it's not the end goal of the tasolef.

00:53:56 --> 00:53:57

The end goal of the tasawaf is that

00:53:57 --> 00:54:00

your the Murid should receive his muraazu who

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

is Allah Ta'ala. You should receive Allah Ta'ala.

00:54:02 --> 00:54:03

Allah should be pleased with you, should be

00:54:03 --> 00:54:04

pleased with him.

00:54:04 --> 00:54:06

Afterward, whatever happens with the rest of creation

00:54:06 --> 00:54:07

is the creation's business.

00:54:08 --> 00:54:09

It's not your problem.

00:54:10 --> 00:54:11

And so,

00:54:11 --> 00:54:13

for those people, they're like, oh, I have

00:54:13 --> 00:54:15

such and such weird which was given to

00:54:15 --> 00:54:17

me by Sayednakidr alayhislam, and if I say

00:54:17 --> 00:54:19

it I can, like, you know, I can

00:54:19 --> 00:54:20

make strawberries rain out of the sky in

00:54:20 --> 00:54:23

October and whatever. It's good. Maybe maybe someone

00:54:23 --> 00:54:24

got that word, and maybe really gave it

00:54:24 --> 00:54:26

to them. Allahu alayhi. Allahu alayhi knows best,

00:54:26 --> 00:54:27

you know. Who am I? I don't know.

00:54:27 --> 00:54:29

I don't know. Stuff happens. The creation of

00:54:29 --> 00:54:31

Allah ta'ala is is

00:54:31 --> 00:54:34

is ajeeb and overwhelming and who knows. Right?

00:54:35 --> 00:54:36

But what about the word that you receive

00:54:36 --> 00:54:38

from someone who has a higher Maqam than

00:54:38 --> 00:54:41

say Nkhidr alaihi salam, the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:54:41 --> 00:54:43

salam? And what if what you get is

00:54:43 --> 00:54:45

better than strawberries raining out of the sky

00:54:45 --> 00:54:47

in October? If you worship the duniya, the

00:54:47 --> 00:54:48

strawberries thing is way cooler.

00:54:50 --> 00:54:52

If you love the duniya, I swear to

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

you flying around shooting lightning bolts, it's like

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

it's amazing. They'll make a movie about you.

00:54:56 --> 00:54:58

And you'll care about the movie because it's

00:54:58 --> 00:55:00

also the duniya is your your morad. That's

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

what you want. You'll get it.

00:55:03 --> 00:55:04

And it's all a complete waste of time.

00:55:04 --> 00:55:05

Show up. Says

00:55:06 --> 00:55:07

to you, you got what you wanted. Don't

00:55:07 --> 00:55:09

ask me for a reward right now. That's

00:55:09 --> 00:55:10

gonna be somewhat disappointing, isn't it? Given that

00:55:10 --> 00:55:12

all of us are gonna be there at

00:55:12 --> 00:55:13

some point or another.

00:55:13 --> 00:55:15

And that's gonna be a very oh oh,

00:55:15 --> 00:55:17

crap moment for a lot of people because

00:55:17 --> 00:55:19

everyone knew they were gonna go there, And,

00:55:20 --> 00:55:21

now that they're there, they're gonna be like,

00:55:21 --> 00:55:23

wow. A lot of choices I made in

00:55:23 --> 00:55:24

life were not super amazing.

00:55:25 --> 00:55:27

It's a very simple it's a very simple

00:55:27 --> 00:55:27

calculation.

00:55:28 --> 00:55:31

Allah forgive us for not having,

00:55:32 --> 00:55:33

given it its due,

00:55:33 --> 00:55:35

but, it's a very,

00:55:35 --> 00:55:37

simple calculation. And,

00:55:41 --> 00:55:43

it's it's elegantly summarized again and again in

00:55:43 --> 00:55:45

our in our traditions. I was reading through

00:55:45 --> 00:55:47

the pandanama of

00:55:51 --> 00:55:53

So then I I posted the I posted

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

the, the thing up on the thing.

00:56:04 --> 00:56:07

The person who didn't know Allah in their

00:56:07 --> 00:56:07

in their life,

00:56:08 --> 00:56:10

that person has gotten nothing out of out

00:56:10 --> 00:56:12

of what they needed to out of life.

00:56:12 --> 00:56:14

You're here for you know, if you know,

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

who?

00:56:16 --> 00:56:17

I don't know.

00:56:17 --> 00:56:20

Jeff Bezos is, like, whatever, like, Lex Luther

00:56:20 --> 00:56:22

clone richest guy in the world right now

00:56:22 --> 00:56:25

currently. Right? It's gonna be some other some

00:56:25 --> 00:56:27

other scammer like tomorrow. Right? Because today, he's

00:56:27 --> 00:56:29

the one. You know, before Bill Gates was

00:56:29 --> 00:56:31

a thing, now nobody even, you know, nobody

00:56:31 --> 00:56:32

calls him on his birthday anymore,

00:56:33 --> 00:56:35

because Microsoft, nobody like you know, everyone hates

00:56:35 --> 00:56:37

Windows and whatever now. Right? So, okay, fine.

00:56:37 --> 00:56:39

This is whatever. The other guy the other

00:56:39 --> 00:56:40

guy, they gave him a second liver and

00:56:40 --> 00:56:42

he still died, the Apple guy.

00:56:43 --> 00:56:43

So he

00:56:45 --> 00:56:48

It's a Steve. Steve job. Right? So now

00:56:48 --> 00:56:51

he's he's he's gone. He's gone now. So

00:56:51 --> 00:56:53

we cried. We cried out his eulogy. Now

00:56:53 --> 00:56:54

we forgot about him. Now it's Jeff Bezos.

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

Who knows who's gonna be the craziest movie

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

grumpy cat or whatever? Tomorrow is gonna be

00:56:57 --> 00:56:59

the new multi trillionaire or whatever.

00:57:00 --> 00:57:02

So if he says to you, hey. Go

00:57:03 --> 00:57:04

go down to Walmart and pick me, like,

00:57:04 --> 00:57:06

a bottle of aspirin, and I'll pay you

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

a $1,000,000,000.

00:57:07 --> 00:57:10

Right? And just make sure it's here in

00:57:10 --> 00:57:11

within, like, 4 hours.

00:57:14 --> 00:57:15

It's easy.

00:57:16 --> 00:57:18

If if you go and hang out at

00:57:18 --> 00:57:20

Jerusalem Cafe for 3 and a half hours,

00:57:21 --> 00:57:23

then afterward aren't able to get the bottle

00:57:23 --> 00:57:25

to him and get your billion.

00:57:25 --> 00:57:26

That's your bet.

00:57:28 --> 00:57:31

That's that's that's your bet. So, Khair, this

00:57:31 --> 00:57:32

is this is this is what it is.

00:57:32 --> 00:57:34

Right? That these things are prayer at 12

00:57:34 --> 00:57:36

rakaz in the day. Everyone hates it. And

00:57:36 --> 00:57:38

for whatever reason, everyone hates it so much.

00:57:38 --> 00:57:39

Like, it's like the worst thing in the

00:57:39 --> 00:57:41

world as if, like, praying rakaz is like

00:57:41 --> 00:57:43

getting your teeth pulled out by the dentist.

00:57:43 --> 00:57:45

For god's sakes, it's the

00:57:45 --> 00:57:47

the the the word that was given to

00:57:47 --> 00:57:48

you by Allah

00:57:48 --> 00:57:50

at least pretend in your heart that you

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

have, like, that you're thankful for it and

00:57:52 --> 00:57:53

that you wanna do it.

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

I give I give props to the Hanafi

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

Madhab

00:57:59 --> 00:58:01

for using fiqh to beat people up into

00:58:01 --> 00:58:02

making them pray their sunas.

00:58:03 --> 00:58:04

Okay?

00:58:04 --> 00:58:05

I don't know about the handily school, but,

00:58:05 --> 00:58:07

like, in the in the Maliki Shafi'i school,

00:58:07 --> 00:58:10

the the the are like anyway. Right? So

00:58:10 --> 00:58:12

there's no, like, blame on a person who

00:58:12 --> 00:58:12

doesn't pray.

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

A lot of people just skip. They just

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

don't do it. You know what I mean?

00:58:15 --> 00:58:17

Like, the Mauritanians, I I saw my at

00:58:17 --> 00:58:19

least they they they pray them. Right? But,

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

like, those are, like, those are some pretty,

00:58:20 --> 00:58:23

like, level 7 piety type dudes, you know.

00:58:23 --> 00:58:24

Like, they're not they're, like, they're they're not,

00:58:24 --> 00:58:26

like, normal. I don't know, like, if I

00:58:26 --> 00:58:27

hung out in a in a in a

00:58:27 --> 00:58:29

village somewhere in Morocco or whatever or in

00:58:29 --> 00:58:31

Algeria, if it's the I bet if I

00:58:31 --> 00:58:32

had in the village, it probably is in

00:58:32 --> 00:58:34

the city. Alano is best. Right? But the

00:58:34 --> 00:58:36

idea is this is you know, the Nuwaful

00:58:36 --> 00:58:37

are not gonna bite. They're not gonna kill

00:58:37 --> 00:58:39

you. There's good. There's kibbeh. There's good in

00:58:39 --> 00:58:39

it. You

00:58:40 --> 00:58:42

know? At least in Ramadan, like, do it.

00:58:42 --> 00:58:43

You know what I mean? Like, at least

00:58:43 --> 00:58:45

sometime in the day, it's at least 2

00:58:45 --> 00:58:47

rakas more than what you absolutely, like, bare

00:58:47 --> 00:58:49

minimum had to, you know but just at

00:58:49 --> 00:58:51

least pretend it's not, like, the most horrible

00:58:51 --> 00:58:53

thing in the world. Who knows? Maybe one

00:58:53 --> 00:58:55

day, like, you know, you'll be, like, accidentally,

00:58:55 --> 00:58:57

like, focus on your salat and the nur

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

will hit your heart and you'll become a

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

good person.

00:59:01 --> 00:59:02

How horrible would that be? And then all

00:59:02 --> 00:59:04

of a sudden you don't your friends are

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

like, oh, that person has become religious now,

00:59:05 --> 00:59:07

and we don't wanna hang out with or

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

whatever. Like, you know, they're dumb in the

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

first why you want then you'll realize, like,

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

why who cares?

00:59:12 --> 00:59:13

Why? Allah give you a small amount of

00:59:13 --> 00:59:16

time. The the the the the prayer is

00:59:16 --> 00:59:17

is

00:59:17 --> 00:59:18

the one of the highest one of the

00:59:18 --> 00:59:20

highest vehicles to

00:59:20 --> 00:59:23

to to reaching that goal of receiving Allah

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

Ta'ala.

00:59:24 --> 00:59:26

And it's given to you by who not

00:59:26 --> 00:59:26

by by

00:59:27 --> 00:59:28

who?

00:59:28 --> 00:59:29

One of the few people who you can

00:59:29 --> 00:59:30

say with

00:59:31 --> 00:59:32

with surety

00:59:32 --> 00:59:34

that his, maqam is,

00:59:35 --> 00:59:38

higher than Sayyidina Khidr, alayhis salam. Sayednakidr will

00:59:38 --> 00:59:39

also stand in front of the jal at

00:59:40 --> 00:59:42

the and cry and ask for Shafa.

00:59:43 --> 00:59:45

So it's given to you directly by him,

00:59:45 --> 00:59:47

and you got it Rial Salihin for free

00:59:47 --> 00:59:49

in Lombard, Illinois. How how wonderful? How amazing

00:59:49 --> 00:59:50

is that?

00:59:50 --> 00:59:51

Right?

00:59:54 --> 00:59:55

This is this is a a a good

00:59:55 --> 00:59:57

thing. And there are people then who start

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

to benefit from these things,

00:59:59 --> 01:00:02

and, then big things happen for them. Right?

01:00:02 --> 01:00:04

2 rak'ahs of nafil will do a lot

01:00:04 --> 01:00:05

for a lot of things,

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

a lot of issues.

01:00:06 --> 01:00:07

It

01:00:07 --> 01:00:09

will do a lot for you. If it

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

will do a lot for in your dunya,

01:00:10 --> 01:00:11

it will do a lot for you in

01:00:11 --> 01:00:13

the. Pray 12 of them in the day.

01:00:13 --> 01:00:14

If you can't pray 12 of them in

01:00:15 --> 01:00:16

at least pray pray 2 pretend like you're,

01:00:16 --> 01:00:18

like, actually, like, somebody who's

01:00:19 --> 01:00:21

cares about Islam at least. You know? Pray

01:00:21 --> 01:00:23

your 2 before fajr, pray your 2 after

01:00:23 --> 01:00:25

or whatever. If oh, it's too much to

01:00:25 --> 01:00:26

back up. Okay? Just do 2 before fajr.

01:00:26 --> 01:00:28

You know this? At least in the Maliki

01:00:28 --> 01:00:31

school, it's it's considered the Masoon way of

01:00:31 --> 01:00:32

reading the 2 rakas before Fajr. You just

01:00:32 --> 01:00:34

read the Fataha. You don't even read the

01:00:35 --> 01:00:37

the the second Surah in it. Right? And

01:00:37 --> 01:00:40

the Hanafis, oh, they're all hardcore about sunnahs.

01:00:40 --> 01:00:41

Right? So he read, like,

01:00:43 --> 01:00:44

they're like the shortest Surah in the Quran.

01:00:44 --> 01:00:46

Like, you know what I mean? It's it

01:00:46 --> 01:00:47

doesn't really take all that long.

01:00:48 --> 01:00:48

So

01:00:48 --> 01:00:50

at least at least do that,

01:00:52 --> 01:00:54

Inshallah, and who knows? You know? Something something

01:00:54 --> 01:00:56

good might happen. And this is this has

01:00:56 --> 01:00:57

to do with what it has so many

01:00:57 --> 01:00:59

different things, like the Tarawi issue. Right? The

01:00:59 --> 01:01:02

whatever yearly fist fight of 8 versus 20,

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

and they've made partition. You know, they made

01:01:03 --> 01:01:05

partition in India and Pakistan? Like, a 1000000

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

people died? Because of this, they make partition

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

in the in the in the in mustard

01:01:09 --> 01:01:11

parking lot now. You know? You park on

01:01:11 --> 01:01:13

one side if you look it's like it's

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

like it worth. It's like the Ashkenazim and

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

the Sephardim, like, are, like, getting together once

01:01:17 --> 01:01:19

a year for this like, for, for some

01:01:19 --> 01:01:21

combined service or whatever. The pope and the

01:01:21 --> 01:01:24

Orthodox patriarch of, like, of of Constantinople

01:01:25 --> 01:01:26

or Moscow or whichever one is, like, the

01:01:26 --> 01:01:28

big big dude nowadays, you know, they're getting

01:01:28 --> 01:01:31

together for some ecumenical service or whatever. Right?

01:01:31 --> 01:01:33

What is it something that everyone can agree

01:01:33 --> 01:01:35

on? 8 and 20 can agree

01:01:35 --> 01:01:38

on. Is what? That the knuckle is good?

01:01:40 --> 01:01:42

So just keep your car parked and pray.

01:01:42 --> 01:01:43

You don't have to give up your fickle

01:01:43 --> 01:01:45

opinion. If your fickle opinion is so, like,

01:01:46 --> 01:01:48

closely held, you don't have to give it

01:01:48 --> 01:01:49

up. Keep it. Hold it close to your

01:01:49 --> 01:01:50

heart until the day you die. Like, you

01:01:50 --> 01:01:52

know, having it whatever tattooed on your heart

01:01:52 --> 01:01:54

and buried in your with it. It's fine.

01:01:54 --> 01:01:57

Right? But everyone can agree that what? That

01:01:57 --> 01:01:59

that praying 2 rakas of nafal is a

01:01:59 --> 01:02:00

good thing. It's a good thing. It's not

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

a bad thing. Don't run away from it.

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

Don't fight it.

01:02:04 --> 01:02:05

Submit to it. Accept it. It's good for

01:02:05 --> 01:02:06

you.

01:02:08 --> 01:02:10

And so we also talked about the virtues

01:02:10 --> 01:02:11

of reciting the Quran before in this darshan,

01:02:11 --> 01:02:13

and we also talked about the virtues of

01:02:13 --> 01:02:15

which is why the darshas, followed by the

01:02:15 --> 01:02:17

zikr for whoever wants to stay. So these

01:02:17 --> 01:02:19

are these are, good hadith to remember when

01:02:19 --> 01:02:21

it's when when you feel the itch of,

01:02:21 --> 01:02:23

like, running away from your sunnahs.

01:02:23 --> 01:02:25

You'll feel the itch of running away from

01:02:25 --> 01:02:27

it. As soon as salaam happens, you'll feel

01:02:27 --> 01:02:29

the itch for running away from your zikr,

01:02:29 --> 01:02:30

you'll feel the itch for running away from

01:02:30 --> 01:02:30

the sunnah.

01:02:31 --> 01:02:32

Just be like, no.

01:02:34 --> 01:02:36

Allah gave this to me and I love

01:02:36 --> 01:02:37

to sit and do this even if I

01:02:37 --> 01:02:39

don't feel right now anything,

01:02:39 --> 01:02:41

but it's I know that the Rasool Sallahu

01:02:41 --> 01:02:42

alaihi wa sallam doesn't lie. It's a sign

01:02:42 --> 01:02:44

of Allah's love, and and I'm gonna sit

01:02:44 --> 01:02:46

for this. I'm gonna do this. And even

01:02:46 --> 01:02:47

if I don't see it and even if

01:02:47 --> 01:02:48

I don't feel it because the deen is

01:02:48 --> 01:02:50

not there's no there's no Sahabi, like, named

01:02:50 --> 01:02:52

by the prophet Abdul Feelings.

01:02:53 --> 01:02:54

There wasn't.

01:02:54 --> 01:02:55

Even though we have a lot of Abdul

01:02:55 --> 01:02:58

Feelings type dudes nowadays and dudettes,

01:02:58 --> 01:03:00

but there's no Abdul Feelings type people in

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

that in that generation.

01:03:02 --> 01:03:04

So whether you you whether you whether you

01:03:04 --> 01:03:05

feel it or you don't,

01:03:05 --> 01:03:07

you know, one day you'll feel it, and

01:03:07 --> 01:03:08

it's not that far away either. It just

01:03:08 --> 01:03:10

takes a little bit of effort, not that

01:03:10 --> 01:03:11

much. It Takes a little bit of effort

01:03:11 --> 01:03:12

with a little consistency.

01:03:13 --> 01:03:15

You'll live for, like, 70, 80, 100 years.

01:03:15 --> 01:03:16

It takes, like,

01:03:16 --> 01:03:18

like, literally, like, 3 weeks of effort. You'll

01:03:18 --> 01:03:19

start feeling it. Nobody wants to do that.

01:03:19 --> 01:03:20

Whether you feel it or you don't feel

01:03:20 --> 01:03:21

it,

01:03:21 --> 01:03:23

know that when you're when you're

01:03:23 --> 01:03:25

sitting there for your zikr,

01:03:25 --> 01:03:27

you're receiving the blessing of Allah Ta'ala from

01:03:27 --> 01:03:30

from his angels sending the barakat down on

01:03:30 --> 01:03:30

you.

01:03:31 --> 01:03:31

Oh,

01:03:32 --> 01:03:33

Allah

01:03:33 --> 01:03:36

forgive him. Oh, Allah forgive her. Oh, Allah

01:03:36 --> 01:03:38

have mercy on him. Allah have mercy on

01:03:38 --> 01:03:40

her. And the the the the the the

01:03:41 --> 01:03:42

the the stop doing that.

01:03:43 --> 01:03:44

The the

01:03:46 --> 01:03:48

the the the the the

01:03:50 --> 01:03:50

the

01:03:51 --> 01:03:53

that go with the different salat.

01:03:53 --> 01:03:56

That that the house is being built for

01:03:56 --> 01:03:56

you in Jannah.

01:03:58 --> 01:03:59

It's being built for you in Jannah. You

01:03:59 --> 01:04:01

may destroy it by doing other dumb stuff.

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

It's like, yeah, I pray 12 rakaz everyday

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

and I run a liquor store. Okay. That's

01:04:04 --> 01:04:04

like

01:04:05 --> 01:04:07

that's gonna come out in the wash. Right?

01:04:07 --> 01:04:09

That's that's don't expect that. Right? But still,

01:04:09 --> 01:04:11

it's better for you than if you didn't

01:04:11 --> 01:04:13

do it. And if you're trying not to,

01:04:13 --> 01:04:14

you know, go that route, you're trying not

01:04:14 --> 01:04:16

to go down the dark dark side path,

01:04:16 --> 01:04:18

then the house is it's being built for

01:04:18 --> 01:04:18

you.

01:04:19 --> 01:04:20

Whether you know it or you don't know

01:04:20 --> 01:04:21

it, doesn't matter. It's still gonna be there

01:04:21 --> 01:04:23

for you. So many things you don't know.

01:04:23 --> 01:04:25

A person is invested in the stock market.

01:04:25 --> 01:04:26

You know, they don't know how much money

01:04:26 --> 01:04:27

they're gonna make at the end of the

01:04:27 --> 01:04:29

year, but, you know, they'll still make it.

01:04:29 --> 01:04:31

It. You know, the whatever company is doing

01:04:31 --> 01:04:33

what it's doing, and you're still gonna make

01:04:33 --> 01:04:33

the money at the end of the year

01:04:33 --> 01:04:34

that you make.

01:04:35 --> 01:04:36

We can trust in all those other things.

01:04:36 --> 01:04:38

This is something also too to trust about.

01:04:38 --> 01:04:40

But there are certain sins Allah will not

01:04:40 --> 01:04:42

forgive except for through the prayers.

01:04:43 --> 01:04:44

It doesn't matter if you fast on Mondays

01:04:44 --> 01:04:46

Thursdays. There's certain sins Allah that won't forgive

01:04:46 --> 01:04:49

except for prayers, certain sins Allah won't forgive

01:04:49 --> 01:04:51

except for through through fast, certain sins Allah

01:04:51 --> 01:04:54

won't forgive except for through going through a

01:04:54 --> 01:04:54

difficulty,

01:04:55 --> 01:04:56

because of your family,

01:04:56 --> 01:04:58

because all of these different things, there's there's

01:04:58 --> 01:05:00

benefit in it. Inshallah, Allah give us from

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

its benefit.
