Coach Kahari came.
Ishah is kind of late. So,
this is one of the things that we
were told by our that when you prepare
a speech,
you should do it for the sake of
Allah They
gave the example of 1 of the great
orators of the Indian subcontinent of the last
generation. 100 of thousands of people used to
come and hear his talk, say the.
I remember one of our elders,
who passed away now, he mentioned who's not
really super like, Ilmi type person. He mentioned
that, he once
heard out of the corner of his ear,
a man talking in a park one day
about and,
he said that, he was like mesmerized.
Like, he didn't realize that, like,
the the the
until it hit that he was like actually
standing there for like hours and seeing the
guy.
So it was said about him that
once when he was done with one of
his speeches, he was wrapping up and going
home. An old man said, did I miss
the talk? And
said, yeah, you missed it. He goes, I
traveled from such and such a village to
hear speak,
and, it's, like, such a shame that I
missed it. And he goes, don't worry. I'm
Atta'allah. I'll tell you everything that I said.
And he gave the entire speech over again
for this old man from the village. So,
we were going to cover the life
He's Zubair
bin.
He's
from the clan of called, which is the
same clan and say the Khadija
who is Khadija.
His mother is
So he's actually a first cousin of the
messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Safia is the sister of the
father
and, it's mentioned he actually mentions about said,
Hamzah radiAllahu anhu was the father's
brother.
That, if it wasn't for the fact that,
his sister
Safia is still alive,
I would have left his body in the
battlefield
and, let the,
the the vultures and scavengers eat it. And
when
he was
resurrected the spectacle of the parts of it
coming from the different directions would have been
something to see. But it will reaver.
So for that reason, I won't. So he's
at once a relative, say, the hadith of
the, and he's at once a relative of
the messenger, a very close relative of the
messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He
accepted Islam when he was 12 years old.
1 of his his father, Awam, had passed
away when he was young. 1 of his
uncles was raising him. His uncle rolled him
up in a straw mat and set it
on fire
in order to,
convince him to,
leave the dean when he was young.
And, he refused. He said that I'll never
I'll never go to Cooper. I'll never go
to Kupfer. His mother was very strict in
in raising him. This is something that's missing
nowadays. Nowadays, we have this idea that you
can only raise children through only positivity,
and it's good. You should be positive. You
should call your kids something other than from
time to time. I agree with that. Right?
That's good. But there's like 2 wings you
can't fly in one wing. So she was
very strict with him to the point where,
to the point where, point where,
to the point where,
sorry.
Her
brother-in-law
came and talked to her and said that
you get angry and you beat this child
way too much.
And, she's she composed some verses of poetry.
I didn't memorize them, but they're they're they're
mentioned in the,
Isaba of Hafiz ibn Hajar.
She composed
5 hemistitches
of of of poetry.
The gist of which is that
I'm not beating him out of anger. Rather,
I'm forming him into a good person
and strictness. One day, you'll see that it
will pay off,
it will pay off in in his upbringing.
She gave him the
which is
the
the
one of the uncles of the prophet also
had name Zubair, so she named her son
after her brother and gave him the same
Kuni of Abu Tahir, but then later on
in life because his first,
son's name was Abu Abdullah his first son's
name was Abdul Abdul Abin Zubair.
Because of that, Abu Abdullah kind of overtook
this,
Abu Bakr. Abdullah bin Zubair was the 1st
Muslim child born in Medina Munawarra.
And many of the Muslim children that were
born in Medina Munawarra would die of the
plague that
was in the water of Medina, so the
point where the the Jews of Medina would
mock the Muslims and say, look, your cursed
people, none of your child survive.
Children survive. So when Abdul Abin Zubair survived,
he was, like the pride of all the
Muslims of of Madinah himself.
But going back to Abdullah bin Zubaira, the
Allahu Hanhul, going back to Zubaira, the Allahu
Hanhul, when he was a young man, he
was so tall.
They say that his feet would drag on
the ground when he was riding.
So,
he was he was a very extremely tall
person. He was very
lanky, and he had what we'd refer to
as wiry strength. So he wasn't built like
he wasn't bulky,
in his physique, but he was a very
powerful person.
So he as a as a teenager got
into a fight with somebody in in Makmurakarama
and, his mother eagerly,
waited. She got the news that she got
he got in the fight. So she said,
was he soft or did he, like, beat
him to a pulp? And he he actually
broke the guy's arm, despite
him being much older than him.
He has the honor of being the first
one who drew a sword for the sake
of Allah ta'ala. In Maqamu Karama, the some
of the mushrikeen, they circulated a
prophet
and chief of his sword and went to
look for, who did this. And then after
it turned out that the messenger of Allah
was alive, but he was just in one
of the mountains, overlooking
that's why he was, absent.
The messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
on a number of occasions when he needed
something that, said, the Zubair bin Awan was
there for him to the point where
the honor of the honorific title. He said
that every nebbie
has a and my is.
Bin awang.
Every nabi has a the word hawari is
the word that's used in the Quran for
the disciples of Christ alayhi salam. So he
says just like Seda 'Isa alayhis salaam had
his disciples,
Zubair bin Awam is my disciple.
He his back was filled with scars. His
body was filled with scars from,
getting hit,
with swords and spears and arrows and jihadfisabirullah.
His son,
Musad,
not Musad, his son, Arwa, he narrates that
he had 3 scars that were so deep
that you could fit more than one finger
entirely inside the scar.
It was so deep into the into the
skin. And he said that my father said
2 of them I received in the battle
of and one of them I received in
the battle of.
If you remember, is
the epic battle in which the Roman army
was decimated and the Roman Empire never set
foot on on the main part of the
Asian continent ever again after that.
And it was after several years after the
messenger
passed away. So it shows that these companions
were the all of them on whom were
never resting always they always were pushing forward,
on and on with their service of Islam
and the service of.
2 more things I wanted to mention about
him.
One is with regards to his his death.
He had,
he had
gone. There was a political rally that was
held in a place outside of Madinah Munawarra
after said in Ali
who was made Khalifa,
for the people to put pressure on him
to bring the killers of said in Arthman
to justice
This was a just cause. There's nothing wrong
with this cause. However, in the defense of
sayna Ali radiallahu anhu, it was not possible.
What's the biggest proof that people often neglect
to mention that it wasn't possible?
Sayidina Muawiyah alaihwan who who never took Be'a
with him and had an entire separate caliphate
will become Khalifa of the entire Ummah at
some point, and they're not able to bring
them to justice. And that was one of
their stated like main goals. It was not
known
exactly who they were and it was not
exactly possible. But at any rate, they they
wanted, they wanted
this thing to happen, and they felt that
there wasn't enough effort being put into it.
And so what ends up happening is as
Sen Ali and his supporters, political supporters will
go and meet them in this place outside
of Medina.
And,
because
the,
the riffraff on both sides were
not not not, orderly people, they started fighting
with each other and it descended into chaos.
It descended into a battle without an order
for fighting from either, the seniors fighting from
either, the seniors on either side. And so,
Saidin Zubair bin Alhambra the Allah one who
was part of the side that, that that
demanded the
justice for the killers of.
And what happened was on the battlefield
will ask him.
A question. He says, don't you remember that
the messenger of Allah once asked you, would
you ever take the would you ever fight
against Ali?
And, you said no. And said, he says
he says that, I remember now. He says,
up until
completely this the fact that this thing even
happened, you know, it completely was absent from
my mind. But now I remember, and he
left the battlefield.
His son, Abdullah bin Zubair, says to him
that if you leave the battlefield now all
the Arabs will say you're a coward. He
said, I don't care. Let them say what
they wanna say.
Even today, let them say what they wanna
say. If you're gonna do what's right, let
them say what they wanna say. And so
he left the battlefield. A young man from
Banu Tamim who politically was aligned with said,
will,
I forget
off the top of my head the the
actual name.
But he will give him a man. You'll
see him and he'll say, oh, he gives
him
says that, like, I'm not here to fight
you. I give you safe passage.
And then treacherously from the back, he'll stab
him thinking that I'm gonna become like, I'm
gonna move up the ranks because I I
killed one of the commanders of the other
side.
And so when he comes back to the
campus saying
he asked for Duhul.
Said Abdu'l Abin Abbas radiAllahu Anhu says that,
the the the killer of Zubair, Yasta Avinuka,
Fid Duhul.
And said, now, Ali radiallahuhan who said what?
This is a person who politically, you know,
like they ran against each other from us
as president, like, you know, they politically they
were antagonist antagonists of one another in this
in this
particular occasion.
What did he say? He says he says
he says he says Adfil,
he says he's Adfil,
the killer of the son of Safia bint,
Abdul Muttalib, let him enter into the fire.
Meaning, he wasn't pleased with it and he
actually had him executed for this. And,
they all considered it to be a crime.
And this is a proof that they were
not they were not there to fight one
another. This is, something important to realize that
if you look at the lives of the
Asharabu Basharim Al Jannah,
most of them, the majority of them at
at at any rate, the majority of them
will die in some way through someone's treachery
or through someone's killing them or through somebody,
you know, taking their life in extraordinary
events. Or like for Sadna,
he
died in the Ta'un, he died of plague.
These are all, Allah takes these things from
those people that he wishes to cleanse and
purify and raise their regs. So a person
should not freak out when he sees these
things in the lives of their loved ones
or even in their own life. Allah Ta'ala
gives afia. The last thing I wanted to
mention was what is it? There's a hadith
in Sahih Bafari, Bafari, Sheikh Musa, you may
remember it,
about the sons of,
they said that our father was trust trusted
by everybody.
People would entrust him with money and say
take care of our,
our children after we're gone. Take care of
our dependents. We're going on a trip, take
care of our family members, or take this
money and keep it safe for us.
Who was a person who was very
stringent in his. He said, look, if you
leave this money with me or if you
leave these articles, items with me, I don't
know if I'll be able to return them
to you or not. So I have another
idea. Why don't you just loan me the
money? And that way, I can pay you
back, you know, whatever whatever you, loan me.
I don't have to, like, give that
particular article back to you.
And so what happens is you take all
of these, this money from people as loans.
His sons, when they realize all these people
are coming and saying that I I have
this many 100 and 1000 of dirhams and
dinars. I have this many thousands. I have
this many thousands, 100, etcetera. They said, where
are we gonna get all this money from?
Our father used to live like a simple
man. We have no idea where any of
this money was. What did he used to
do?
He was a smart man. He was a
hustler. He used to invest the money in
different properties, businesses etcetera. So when they went
through his stuff, they found all the properties,
they sold everything off. Not only did they
find enough money to pay all of the
debtors back, but
literally his his estate I remember when we
were in Dora Hadis, I like worked it
out at the rate of gold back then.
It was probably less than half of what
it is right now. His state, his state
comes very near to a $100,000,000,
in like 2,005
or 6,
when we read the hadith the first time.
And the reason for mentioning this is what?
This is a common thing between all of
them. They're
all warriors.
They're all businessmen,
they're all strategists,
they're all intelligent people and Allah gave them
every single type of talent, every single type
of beauty, every single type of perfection and
excellence,
physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, everything.
Physically weak,
they can still be a good
Muslim.
If they're mentally deficient, they can still be
a good Muslim. You know, it's, you know,
but but the strong believer is better than
the weak believer and more beloved to Allah
to Allah. And so this is a common
thread between all of them is that you
look at them. There are people who are
not like, oh, look, I said
now Islam owes me a good life. They're
like, no. I said La ilaha illallah, now
Islam owes me a
good life. They're like, no. I said La
ilaha illallah, now let's take this Islam thing
forward, which is a very different mindset. Allah,
subhanahu wa ta'ala, be pleased with him and
be pleased with
all the companions of the messenger, oh, Allah
salallahu alayhi wa sallam. And may Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala by by their love of, give
us openings for good and change our bad
habits into good ones and give us Fatima
and iman and give us a place,
with them,
in Jannah in the hereafter.
