So, if you will skip to page 101.
The theme of the the selections that I'm
going to be reading
is the suffering of the messenger of Allah
Allah at the hands of the creation.
And
the forward to discussing this theme is what?
Is that a person may mistakenly believe
that because they say la ilaha illa Allah
and because they have made the intention to
walk the path of righteousness
and because they have made the intention to
do what's right,
That somehow Allah is obliged
to be,
to make them, have a
comfortable and luxurious service.
And nothing could be further from the truth.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Rather,
like the ayah that we mentioned
in the beginning
of Suratul An Kabut in the Khutbah.
Allah
asks,
do the people think that they will be
left to say, we believe and they will
not be tested.
And indeed we tested those who came before
and Allah
will know through that test who is the
one who is truthful and who is he?
One whose claim is a lie.
And Allah Ta'ala will use the creation as
an instrument of that test,
And sometimes it becomes very demoralizing for a
person. It becomes very demoralizing for a person
to be subjugated at the hands of the
creation.
Because a person says there's no God except
for Allah,
and then afterward they receive so much pain
and so much suffering at the hands of
the creation and it leaves them flabbergasted and
it leaves them exactly like Sheikh Tamim said.
With the question inside or Sheikh Musa and
Sheikh Tamim both said, with the question inside
of their minds and in their hearts
that if Allah loved me and if Allah
was really there, how could he let this
happen to me?
And the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa
sallam, you see in his Mubar?
Example.
That he's the beloved of Allah ta'ala. He's
the one who Allah ta'ala took the most
crooked of people and straightened them and made
them the most righteous.
He's the one who Allah ta'ala made Jannah
haram on every person from mankind,
except for the one who bears witness that
Muhammadur Rasulullah, that Muhammad is the messenger of
Allah.
And yet and yet
all different types of creation, all different types
of creation, big and small, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala tested him with them
to see
will he be patient,
to see will he be graceful.
And so that we can also see that
there is no task, big or
small, except for we also have to show
the same patience and we have to also
show the same gratitude.
So we begin the first hadith and say,
that one night the messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wasallam
is praying.
He placed his hand upon the ground and
a scorpion stung him.
A scorpion stung him. Has anyone here been
stung by a scorpion before?
It's not fun times.
It's not fun times. They had scorpions in
Mauritania,
and really when you're in the desert and
people tell you about snakes and scorpions and
all sorts of other weird stuff,
really you you you learn duas real quick.
And the funny thing is this is that
the same Allah send the scorpions there, he's
the same one who can send you harm
here as well. The one who protects you
from the scorpion and the snake over there,
he's the one same one who protects you
from from from
harm in Parma and on Lorraine and
wherever you are.
But this is a blessing that some people
they're aware of it and some people are
heedless. But at any rate, the scorpion
stinging you is not fun times. The scorpions
in Muratania, they're they're, a bit bigger.
And if they sting you in your foot,
the swelling will go all the way up
to the side of up your leg, up
the side of your hip and up to
your side.
If you're weak or if you're sick, it
may kill you. But a healthy person generally
won't kill them.
The scorpions in the Arabian Peninsula are both
of the larger size and they're the ones
of the smaller size as well. The smaller
size ones will kill you. You'll die.
People have died from these things.
There are a great number of our masha'if
when we went to go study, they would
go to Hajj and stand in front of
the Kaaba and ask Allah ta'ala for
protection for their students.
And treated,
Allah to Allah to save his students from
being bitten by snakes.
Alhamdulillah. From that time until now, we haven't
heard of anybody, who studied there that was
bitten by snakes, but the scorpions people get
hit by them every now and again.
I I believe it's Sheikh Mohammed Hassan with
the dadu he also made for his for
he saw a dream and the prophet said
inshallah your students will be protected from snakes
but the scorpions will get them.
So imagine that. This is something we don't
even have to deal with anymore. Alhamdulillah.
And who's getting stung by this insect?
Imagine if you get, you know,
If you if pharaoh is your enemy, there's
some prestige in that, right?
If Abu Jahl and the chiefs of the
corporation get together and plot against you, there's
some prestige in it. This is an insect.
It doesn't think. It doesn't
talk. It doesn't have money. It does not.
It's just an insect.
That one night the messenger of Allah salallahu
alaihi wa sallam placed his hand on the
ground. He was a robotic hand on the
ground salallahu alaihi wa sallam and a scorpion
stung him.
So the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wasallam
struck it and killed it with his sandal.
There was no one there to do it
for him. He had to do it himself.
Can you imagine the amount of pain that
it must have caused and he had to
kill it himself sallallahu alaihi wasallam. It was
such a simple thing. All he needed to
do is squash it with a sandal, but
it somehow slipped by and it stunned him
salallahu alayhi wa sallam. And when he came
out of his salat, while he's praying after
the salat, he waited
and then afterward he said, may Allah curse
the scorpion.
He doesn't even leave a person,
whether or not they're praying, and he doesn't
leave a person whether or not they're a
nabi.
Meaning what? It hurt him, it bothered him,
sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi
wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi
wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi
wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi
wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi wa alaihi
wa alaihi wa al
It's not like, you know, the saydna, Nabi
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that's the beauty of
him. Don't let people turn him into some
sort of mythical figure Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
He was a human being. If he was
an angel, it wouldn't have been miraculous.
The actual miracle is that he was a
human being, and he still was as good
as he was sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
If you try to make him like a
mythical figure, then you you lose that because
he no longer becomes a
an example for you. So when we say
that, we don't say it in order to
reduce,
disrespect the Maqam of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. In fact in fact, if he
was the superhuman angelic figure,
that's that that that's that is doesn't have
a body, it doesn't have pain, it doesn't
feel suffering. It doesn't get hungry. It doesn't
get thirsty. It doesn't get irritated when when
those things that irritate every other human being
irritate them, then it would have been less
impressive in fact. But the fact is that
he had to deal with all those things
and he still suppressed them inside and he
still did what was right. So allallahu alaihi
wasalam. So he had to kill the scorpion
himself
and he felt the pain that bothered him,
you know. And he said that Allah cursed
the scorpion. It doesn't leave a person whether
or not they're in prayer. It doesn't leave
the person whether or not they're a prophet.
Then he asked for some salt and water
which is what? It's taking the means.
Salting the salting the wound, it's taking the
means. Obviously, they didn't have anti venom, like,
you know, like we have in hospitals nowadays.
You know, that cost, like, $10,000 a vial
and are, like, Muscle, a technological and medical
feat to be able to synthesize.
What could they do in those days? They
did things like this that they would solve
the wound, etcetera.
So he took the means in order to
cure, in order to stem and mitigate the
the harm from the,
from the bike.
And,
he,
mixed the salt and water and poured it
over his finger where the scorpion had stung
his robotic finger, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Can you imagine that if someone, if their
own child Allah protect all of our children.
If you saw your child
being stung by a scorpion, like, you know,
how much rahma you'd have feel feel for
them.
And the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa
sallam is more beloved to the the the
companions and to the
That a person's iman is not perfect until
he is more beloved to them, so sallallahu
alaihi wasallam, than a person's parents and then
their children and then all other people.
Until I become more beloved to him than
his own soul that resides between his two
sides.
That imagine
the the companion Saad and Allah Saad
And imagine Allah saw him salallahu alaihi wasallam.
How beautiful he was in the eyes of
Allah ta'ala that he didn't even complain.
What did he do? Like another man.
Like another man would do. But he's not
like another man sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He
carried the burden of the of the salvation
of the entire creation.
But in his humility like any other man,
what did he do? He killed the scorpion
with his own hand
and then he mixed the salt and water
and poured it on his own wound.
And he,
he expressed his angst in a way that
doesn't upset the Lord. And
he wiped it over his finger. He poured
the water over his finger,
where it had stung him. And he, as
he wiped over it, he read Surah Al
Falak al Surah Al Mas.
Meaning what? The the physical cure, the cure
in the world of positive effects he took.
And we take because it's sunnah. Even though
our iman is what? Our iman is that
only Allah, the one has the cure. The
salt and water is not gonna help you.
The medicine, the anti venom is not gonna
help you. Only
lot helps you. But it's a sunnah, he
taught us that we should also take the
take the means as well.
Like,
Masha'Allah.
Like we read Masha'Allah in the, I forget
what it was. I think it was it
was one of the Arabic shuruhat of,
of of one of the books of Hadith.
But the the verse was quoted where's where's
our Kashmiri friend?
Where is he? Is he is he is
he been
where? There you are. Can you raise your
hand when I ask where you are? Right?
I forget which one it was. One of
the actually
quoted in the shakha of,
the the the attribute to the prophet
That the one who earns the one who
earns for his family is the beloved of
Allah. They quoted the verse in Farsi of
Moana
I remember reading and I became so happy.
Who's the first one I called? I called
now
check this out. It's awesome.
If you trust in Allah ta'ala, then trust
in Allah while you're working.
Don't just sit there and say, oh, I'm
trusting in Allah. No. Trust is a state
inside of the heart. So let the body
do the work and the heart is trusting
in Allah.
Do the work, but let your, let your
yourself, your inside, your heart lean on on
the one who's possessive possessive of brute strength
of jabaab jada'ala.
If you want to know the secret of
the one who earns is the beloved of
Allah, then listen.
That from let your the expression of your
your trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
be in in your heart having given up
hope in the means. You take the means.
Why? Because it's a sunnah. It's also an
act of worship because the prophet did it.
But inside of your heart, you've given up
hope that my work, my intelligence, my smartness,
my experience, my,
the help, my armies, my money, all of
these things. These are not not ever gonna
help me. When Allah wants to, all of
them become useless. They become a curse. And
so the the the Rasulullah alaihi wasallam, you
see that that he was tested with like
the smallest of things that he was tested
by what? By Insight.
And he did everything. Everything that he asked
us to do that we feel like we're
too good for and we're like, why me?
Why me? He did everything himself
and didn't utter a complaint.
So then we, switched to page 104.
And, please, please,
please,
please, add, please, add, don't let me steamroll
you and just jump right in because your
words
are of more benefit.
We we then jump from, like, 0 to
a100.
So now we're talking about the the the
patience of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. We were talking about it with
an insect.
Now what is he patient with sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam in this next hadith?
The path of Beresh,
the Sadatul Arab, the Zu'ama Al Arab,
the chiefs and the noblemen and the of
the Arabs, all of them conspired get got
together
Meaning what? Everybody's a fa'il. There's no. They
all got together. It's a conspiracy between all
of them. They all agreed with one another.
They all were on a one-sided one heart
that they were gonna do what? That they
were gonna do the most disgusting thing that
a person could ever make intention to do
which is to kill the messenger
of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Imagine having to
make account for that on the day of
judgment. That person would think that the people
who are getting drunk and committing zina and
gambling and you know,
doing insurance fraud and running red lights. Those
are those are the only compared to these
people.
The pact of Quresh killed him and his
trust upon his lord and Allah's protection of
him.
And,
I, Sammy
pay attention. The duas that you read and
the orad that you read, they're not in
vain.
We should make duas, we don't make duas
enough.
You learn the duas from the masha'i that
transmit them from the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. There's great power in them.
There's great protection in them. The one who
reads them, that person Allah Ta'ala will never
leave them behind, not in this world nor
in the hereafter.
Saeed Bin Jubeir who is one of the
who
is one of the the,
companions of Abdullah bin Abbas radiAllahu anhu man.
And one of the great tabi'im through which
the hadith are transmitted, the qira'at are transmitted,
the, tafsir of the Quran is transmitted.
He was killed. He was killed, in
by Hajj Hajj bin Yusuf, the homicidal maniac
enforcer of Banu Meyam in the reign of
Abdul Malik bin Marwan and his son Alwaneen.
And, when he was it was said that
when when,
Hajjaj told him I'm gonna kill you.
Don't think you're better you don't think that
you're such a big shot. He says I've
killed better people than you. It's literally a
hadith and Bukhari that Hajjj killed Abu Luv
and Omar
in Aja. He says, you think I'm afraid
of you? I'll kill I'll end your life.
I killed bigger people than you.
And what did Saeed bin Jubeir say? Because
it's interesting. He's narrating this hadith And look
at the nasid that that, you know, the
person who loves Rasoolallah.
Look how Ajib with the the the mushadah
and the the resemblance of their life becomes
with that of Rasulullah. You struggle to be
like the messenger of Allah and what you
can be and Allah will make you like
him and what you can't
on your own.
So he said to, Hajjaz when he gave
him the death sentence and he mocked him
and said, I killed better than you. He
says, yes. All of those who you killed
were better than me. He said that they
were they were better than me because they
forgave you before you had killed them. That's
why you got off scot free. I'm not
gonna forgive you.
And he killed him. And over the matter
of the next days, he would see visions
of the, of the the murdered in Shaheed
Saeed bin Jubeel.
And it taunted him until he went mad
and he died.
It killed him
and he would say,
leave me alone. You know, what do you
want from me? What do you want from
me? After he killed him and he'd been
buried in the ground. So he's narrating hadith
from Abdullah bin Abbas from his Sheikh, from
his teacher and from his Gustav.
Allah ta'ala have, be pleased with both of
them.
That being that
the the the the the the privy council
of Quresh,
the leaders and the rulers of Quresh.
They got together
in
in in in the hijab.
Where where is the hijab? Who knows the
place in Mecca. Where is it?
It's literally inside the Kaaba. You know the
semicircular wall that's
next to the next to the,
cubicle building of the Kaaba?
That's the unfinished part of the Kaaba. It's
also what's inside of it is also inside
the Kaaba.
I apologize. Like, I don't have palsy. Like,
I I shake when I hear and read
these things just because, like, these majalis are
when you hear the hadith of the prophet,
I'm like, I don't know what to do.
I literally, like, I love to drink coffee.
I drink half a gallon of coffee at
Sheikh Musa's house, like, every day. This morning,
I knew this was gonna happen. I told
them I don't wanna drink it because it's
gonna be too much for me. It's gonna,
like, push me over the top. Like, so
I I apologize, like, forgive me for this.
That they got together in the hijra and
the Kaaba
to do what is the worst and the
most blasphemous profanity that a person could ever
intend in the creation of Allah.
Allah ta'ala, if you insult Allah, he'll forgive
you these things. He'll never forgive you for
them.
So they got together and they took the
cursed names of their idols.
The the there are 3 goddesses of Lat
and RZA and Manat. One of the greatest
honors that the that the companions had was
that they destroyed all 3 of their idols
by their own Mubarak hands.
Raised their ranks amongst the ODI and Jannah
forever for it.
They said if we see Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam,
all of us will stand together as one
man stands against him.
And we'll
keep at him, and we won't leave him
until we kill him, Riyadamillah.
And who heard this?
Say the Fatima heard
this. Imagine that she heard this that they're
gonna kill her father sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
just because all he wanted to do was
was to
give bring them salvation and save them from
ignorance and save them from the hellfire.
And maybe if he heard it, the plan
himself, it wouldn't have been as painful. But
imagine his baby daughter, his baby girl, she
heard it.
Bayra should be having a little girl. Imagine
probably paying him the idea of getting killed,
didn't pay him pay him as much as
the takleef that that they cost to his
his his daughter to his baby girl.
Alaihi Salam.
So she came home crying
and she entered the house of her father.
And she said, these people, they're they're the
leaders of your own home. They're your own
people and they got together inside the entered
inside of the Kaaba itself. And they took
a blood oath with one and one another.
That when they see you, all of them
will stand and all of them will kill
you together.
And there's not one of them except for
they've already made their intention
to take a portion of your blood.
And what did the Rasul salallahu alaihi wa
sallam say to her?
He said, oh my dear daughter,
oh my dear
child, bring me the water of wudu.
The word wudu, I read it wrong.
It's
the the the the the the the container
of sorry. The water of the container. Right?
And is the actual, like, active of ablution.
Says my dear daughter bring me the the
water of wudu. But how do you know
people turn on the faucet and like let
the
let the water waste
and they splash it here and there and
maybe they don't even want to wash their
feet or maybe they miss a spot
and when me and Sheikh Musa sit in
the community room to teach the 5th of
Wudu, they say this is not worth my
time.
But look at
what was the of the wudu of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. What was the result
of it?
So the first thing he said to her
when she was crying is, oh, my dear
daughter, bring me the the the the water
of.
And so he made
but it was unlike our.
And then, then where did he go? They
were they made this plot where in the
in the Hijra, in the Kaaba itself.
And so, he himself then entered the Masjid
Al Haram, the proximity of the Kaaba.
And when they saw him, all of them
said to one another
with their tongues of shayatim.
They said he's the one. He's here. This
is the one. He's the one. He's the
one.
But then thereafter, their gaze is lowered
and they were,
their gaze is where their gaze was lowered
and they're fixed in their places. They were
unable to get up. They were unable to
do anything. They were unable to even raise
their eyes toward
This is one of the this is one
of
the beautiful gifts Allah gave the Messenger of
Allah
That I was given victory
just through the
sheer amount of awe people will have of
me
in the direction of 1 month's travel in
every every direction.
They said in the history books, there was
one battle in Andalus.
That the Spaniards, they saw the the the
the Aslath,
their armies. There are Arab and Berber armies,
masha'Allah, using the swak
from from the other side of the battlefield.
And when they parlayed with the with the,
the the Muslim generals, they said, what are
they doing with their teeth?
They learned to brush their teeth from us,
by the way.
We should do it too.
Our forefathers, they learned to brush their teeth
from our forefathers.
So what are they doing? And so one
of the Muslim generals said they're sharpening their
teeth because we're gonna eat you.
And the Spanish generals freaked out.
And like after talking to each other for
a little bit, they're like, hey, you know
if we surrender, you promise you won't eat
us?
And they're like, look at each other and
they're like,
yeah, we won't eat you.
What is it?
This is not a this this is a
spiritual quality
that when the hack comes, the people of
battle freak out.
This is one of the reasons, you know,
why everyone says terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, this and
that, the other thing. It's not because,
you know, coaches going in, like, hijacking planes
on the weekend and, you know, like, my
comrade, you know, will, like, go rob a
liquor store on the way to Khalil Sanu
from the city or whatever. It's not that's
not what it's about. What is it? When
someone is doing something wrong, when they see
someone who's doing something good, Allah subjigates the
the former heart to the latter.
And so at any rate, what happens? They
lower their gaze and they they're overwhelmed. A
lot of overwhelms that they cannot move.
It's also part of the his bride
that if we wish to, we would transfigure
them and we will,
make them,
stuck in their place so that they can
neither go forward nor nor can they go
back.
So they're fixed in their place and not
a single man from amongst them could stand
against him. So the messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam literally walked up to them
and he stood over their heads
and he said, shahat al bujood.
May their faces be disfigured.
Every one of these every one of these
shayateen.
The ones who lock up our brothers and
sisters in turkistan.
The ones who flooded their, battle armies
of idol worshippers in Kashmir.
The ones who occupied the sacred lands in
Al Qudsas Sharif and the Arbom Qaddas and
Arbom Mubarak around it.
The ones who killed our brothers and sisters
in Burma. All of them. All of them.
When you hear them, when you see them,
know Allah or everyone of their heads. You
reach out to Wudu. Don't just go through
the word like, you know, like
like you're just trying to get it out
of the way. Make for these people
He stood over their heads and said,
May their faces be disfigured.
And he threw dust over them. Every single
one of them that was struck by one
of the pebbles from that handful of dust,
Every one of them was killed on Badr,
as a disbeliever, as a kafir.
This isn't the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
It's Allah.
Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam didn't care. He
in fact wanted everyone to be forgiven and
wanted everyone to be guided. He forgave them.
Allah didn't forgive them.
When Allah loves you, then the whole Muamla
changes.
The whole transaction changes. It increases.
It goes up to a higher level. You
don't even have to take care of care
about taking care of vengeance. Allah ta'ala will
bring those circumstances
together. He will bring that same pharaoh who's
sitting in his palace and all of his
soldiers in their homes and in their gardens
enjoying their families. He'll bring them out of
their houses and make them themselves run into
the sea in order to be crushed.
Allah didn't create any Fir'aun except for he
made a sea to drown him in.
Allah will give the believers the joy of
seeing that day one day if they don't
repent. If not in this world, then in
the hereafter.
And it's not our job to worry about
their vengeance or to care, to be upset
about killing them or what happens to them,
whether they're they die or they repent or
any of these things. There's an Allah who
will take the vengeance for you if you
trust him.
I wanna do you guys wanna add something?
The
The id in idolatrous insult toward the messenger
of Allah
and the angels concealing him.
With his wing. Yeah. With his wing. With
his wing. Jana or Jana? No. I'm sorry.
Jana. Jana has something else.
What was it? You know? So people ask
us, why is this Surah in the Quran
mocking
a dead Kafir and his wife, his kuwifarah
wife. Why is this even a part of
the Quran?
You know why it is? So that you
know so that you know that when somebody
speaks the batil, when somebody harms the person
who does the you may think in this
dunya that how are we subjugated to these
people. You're not. Allah sees everything and Allah
hates them. Don
Don't think just because the the punishment doesn't
come down instantaneously upon them that that their,
their thing, their their evil that they're doing
is not noticed by Allah and not hated
by you.
And this is a miracle of the Quran
as well. If Abu Lahab really wanted to
troll, Islam and troll the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, he could have even feigned conversion.
Just to say, oh, look, you know, your
Quran is not
your Quran is, like, is not true.
But he didn't.
She didn't.
When this,
may Abu Lahab perish was revealed. The wife
of Abu Lahab,
she came to the messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam while Abu Bakr was with
him.
When Abu Bakr saw her,
and and you know, these are, by the
way, he's a closer relative to the messenger
of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Abu Jahal
al Walidun Muhlirah. He's literally the father of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's like brother.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam married 2 of his daughters
to to the 2 sons of Abu Lahabu,
Artba and Artba because of that kinship bond
that they had with one another.
And
this disgusting,
person and his disgusting wife, they incited
their sons to divorce their good wives
for no reason except for the cause of
grief to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
to his baby daughters. Imagine that.
Again, if the if they did something directly
to him, it wouldn't have hurt as much
as it would have
to cause pain and grief to his daughters.
And really it's an honor that they, they
were not halal for them and that that
they should Allah replaced for them
has been better than those those 2.
There are some people who claim the love
of the Ahlul Bayt
and they curse Sayna Uthman
And Uthman the one
that they cursed,
look
how how how how he treated the daughters
of the Prophet
and look how he honored them.
That the Rasool sallallahu alaihi wa sallam married
one
one of them to him and she passed
away from this world.
And then he married the second one and
she passed from this world and the messenger
of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam was so pleased
with how much honor and respect that he
gave to his daughter sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He
said, if I had a third daughter that
needed to be married, I would have married
her to you to to this Usman as
well.
So this woman is a piece of work.
When she sees, when she sees Abu Bakr
radhiallahu anhu and the the prophet is with
him, Abu Bakr himself said, you Rasool Allah,
this woman is she's a nasty woman. She's
foul tongue to woman.
And I'm, afraid that she's gonna say something,
like horrible to you. So let's just get
up and leave.
You see that? This is the Abu Bakr.
He's the closest in in in in in
his character to the Messenger of Allah.
He's not he's not he's not, like, jonesing
for a fight.
Rather, he's the one that's that has to
have mercy in him that he doesn't want
to, he just he doesn't wanna be fit
enough for other people. He doesn't want, you
know, to cause unnecessary unnecessary commotion and ruckus.
So he says, that's
so maybe, you know, maybe it's a good
and said, oh, Abu Bakr,
indeed,
your, companion
has has,
hija is what is when a person composes
a satirical poetry in order to cut another
person down.
And so she came to complain that this
was was revealed. So she she was claiming
like it's a piece of poetry that was
satirical poetry in order to cut her down
and to complain to him. And Abu Bakr,
what did he say? He said the Haqq
on the same time. He wasn't so conflict
averse that he's gonna peter out and be
a wuss. You know, he's gonna say the
Haqq
He says, no.
He doesn't he's not a poet that says
poetry.
He doesn't meaning he doesn't say anything except
for it's the truth.
And what did she say? This is like,
look, you know,
a Cather has to, go to Tatooine in
order to see the Jedi mind trick.
If we see it, Bashar, the only other
lot,
they they have this effect on people.
They have this effect on people. He said
to her, it's not poetry. He doesn't meaning
he's that he doesn't say anything except for
the.
And what did she say? She says, you're
a truthful man, and she walks away.
And
Abu Bakr says, I said, oh, messenger of
Allah, how did did she not see you?
Did she not see you? And he said,
no. In fact, there was an angel that
was
shielding me and was covering me with his
wings.
Meaning what? He didn't get scared. He didn't
back down.
And oftentimes,
when it's it's, you know, time to do
the hop or just be a person who
does the hop. We're so afraid of people,
and the fear is overwhelming,
but we forget that there's an Allah there
to, to protect us. While you got the,
don't go out out of your way in
order to, you know,
be be be hardcore. You know? To be
hardcore.
Don't go out of your way trying to
incite things with people.
But, also you don't have to sell out
and give up who you are.
Allah will protect you. Sometimes the things that
we fear are more than than the things
that we need to be afraid of.
Inshallah, we'll skip ahead a little bit so
that we can
we can inshallah end the the the time
in time.
Charlie, you seem to page 131.
Just one one point that I wanted to
mention.
It doesn't really matter what hadith or which
chapter you read from. I was mentioning,
before this program to Shaykh Musa and Shaykh
Hamza
that every single one of his ahadith,
if you ponder over it and you reflect
upon it and think about it,
in a sense that you know, what if
I were to experience something like that?
You know, what if people will plot against
me? You know, what if the whole neighborhood
you
know with you know their their guns and
their bats and their chains they were standing
outside my Would I be able to go
up to them say shahatimbujudu?
You know, put yourself. So it doesn't really
matter if you read the book cover to
cover. Every single one of these ahadith is
a source of inspiration
and a source of solace
and you know a, something that we can
learn from the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
to,
look at his bravery, to look at his
trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And every single hadith here it has one
common one commonality.
What is the common
factor in every single hadith in this chapter?
Is that the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
he turned to Allah and he took recourse
to Allah in every single situation.
That is the common factor in every single
one of these ahadith.
That he took recourse to Allah in every
situation.
And that is what the condition of all
of us should be is learn from the
messenger to take recourse to Allah.
To the 3 a'adi that were read by
J. Hamsun and the sequence that they gave
him, it started off with first
bearing the hardship
of a scorpion, an insect.
And then it intensifies.
And it became his tribe and his people.
And then it intensifies
even more and became even those directly, those
his family, his uncle, and his wife.
Right? So we also face hardship, we face
difficulty,
and you have to hear it from people
in your household.
And unfortunately, that's the reality for many of
us in our own communities
is that if you try to follow the
prophet's Islam, you're gonna be in conflict.
You're gonna face confrontation
and conflict in your household.
It might be for those who are most
dear to you,
That's better than getting retweeted by Sean King.
Right?
Oh, Sean King.
In interest of having break on time like
I promised, we won't go to the next
hadith even though
Sheikh Tamim knows I'm burning inside.
Best inshallah, you know, you can't learn the
entire deed in one day. That's a trick
of the nuff. So go hardcore today and
then watch TV for the next 40 days.
It's not how it's gonna work. Keep coming
to Darst. Keep coming to class.
One of the things I just wanted
note though, however, Marcelo is one of the
reasons I love these 2 mashaif that are,
that that are that we're blessed to have
with us
is because there's so many people nowadays,
they'll say stuff like, oh, yeah. The wudu
and the salah is not important. It's important
to have good alfalf.
I know so and so. He prays 5
times a day, but he doesn't have good
aflak. It's important to have good aflak. And
like, dude, nobody's saying that it's not important
to have good aflak. I'm telling you it's
really important to have a good character.
But what is this wudu and what is
this salah? This is deep.
And,
you know, the the the distinguish, wallahlam,
the distinguishing mark in my experience and in
my lifetime that I've seen between,
the alhamdulillah and people
passion for the mic
is that the former, when they talk about
wudu, it makes you wanna make wudu.
When they talk about the way the prophet
said, it makes you wanna sit that way.
When they talk about the salat, it makes
you wanna upgrade. You're like, hey, man. I
wanna try this out. I wanna fall in
love with the salat all over again. I
wanna do 2 right when the break starts.
You know, whereas some other people will make
themselves famous at the expense of what your
your your dad even your veneration for those
things
are. And for that matter, even good good
character and good as well,
you know, that they make you wanna have
that good character. They make it look good.
They make it look sleek and like 2
point o to forgive somebody. You're like, I
never thought of it that way. I wanna
go forgive all my enemies right now. I
wanna text them all,
forgiveness or whatever other part of good character.
They they they bring that attraction to you.
This is a sign that Allah
is shining down his nur,
on you. And the way he does it
is through from one heart to the other.
That one, you know, like you have a
repeater like a a a on a wireless
router. The Internet's coming from the ISP and
then the router distributes it inside the building.
That that that you know, these people are
like the routers of, but like not of
like something done like Wi Fi, but like
the Noor and the faith of Allah ta'ala.
Allah ta'ala keep their shadows over our heads
and keep us in their majalis that we
benefit from them again and again. That we
live and we die with company.
Yeah. Thank you.
