I wanted to share one of the most powerful stories of love that
we're describing, because I'm describing this amazing love, or
one of the great stories from the Sierra, that I think really
conveys. This is the story of one of the companions of the prophesy
son named Julie beep. If you don't know the story, I really hope that
you'll read into it more, but I'm going to share it with you here.
Today B was one of the companions who took who became Muslim with
the unsought of Medina. And he, his name actually conveys a lot
about him. His name means literally small grown or even
deformed, that's the way that it was, you know, he was named, and
why, because he was actually quite small in stature, very frail, very
thin. And some of the descriptions say that he was very unattractive
as well, he actually looked, you know, just not not very appealing.
And because of that, he was ostracized, he was teased a lot.
He was also an orphan. So he had no lineage, no support, no family
backing. And this was, you know, a time and a place where that those
things mattered. If you had at least family and lineage, you
could be protected. So he had nothing. He had no money, no
wealth, no features no no traits about him, that anybody deemed
worthy, except for, of course, the best of creation sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam. In fact, he was in this was, you know, prior to Islam, but
he was bullied so often that he actually was ostracized from the
men of Medina. And he would take refuge and comfort with a women
because they were actually compassionate towards him. That's
how he was mistreated so poorly. So the, when he accepted Islam,
the prophet sly said, um, of course, saw in him qualities that
were beautiful, because he didn't look to the outward, right, this
is the difference between having the proper, you know, sight,
because we can see, for example, right, we see things but if you
don't have, you know, the discernment to know what's truly a
value and what's not, then you're not going to see things according
to their true value. So the prophesy sort of saw people not
for their outward appearance, he didn't judge people based on the
way that they were dressed, or their, you know, status or their
names. He looked at character, and he looked at, he could penetrate
between, you know, from all of that and see into the, to their
soul. And so he saw Julie Bebo as being very special, and someone of
immense worth, to the point that he actually went to a very
prominent family of Medina, who had a daughter, who she's not
known, we don't know her name. But this woman, this young girl was
very sought after a lot of the Sahaba were, she had many suitors.
And so the family was a wealthy family. And she was quite
stunningly beautiful, and the prophesy centum imagine, here's a
man who everybody looks at as being worthless as nothing. And
the prophesy. Saddam chose to be his representative, his advocate
to this family, and he went up to the father of this family, and he
said, I'm asking for your daughter's hand in marriage. And
so he, of course, was so overjoyed, because the he thought
it was the process of asking for himself and who better than the
best of creation to hand his daughter over to so he was like,
he was so happy. And the prophesy said, I'm told him, I'm actually
not asking on my behalf. And as soon as he asked him, then who you
know, assuming that it must be another companion, like aboubaker
is a novel about God or Satan Ahmad are one of the other great
companions. And he was told it was July maybe
he was shocked, but he didn't want to have bad either. But the
prophets I said, I'm so he said, I need to ask her mother. Let me
consult with her. And he immediately went to her and he
conveyed that this proposal had come and she had the same initial
reaction, the prophesy centum is asking for our daughter how
amazing and he had to tell her no, no, he's not asking for himself.
He's asking for someone else who, Julie VB and she began to scream
hysterically. She was like absolutely not no way no way and
all the blah she made some very egregious statements that were
what she said was was inappropriate, swearing by Allah
that she would never ever ever marry her daughter to Julie be
because he was seen as so low and beneath her. Now, I want you to
imagine the scene unfolding. You know, she's screaming, and her
daughter this beautiful girl who everybody is eyeing and vying for,
she hears her mother screaming comes and says what's going on?
And they tell her that the Bravo setup has asked for your hand for
Julie B. And this girl mashallah again, we don't know her name
Subhan Allah what a demonstration of love for the prophesy set um,
and trust in the prophesy. Salam
This is true love. She immediately turned to her parents who were
like, there's no way we're marrying you to him, don't worry.
And she said, How could you go against the prophesies?
He would never wish anything wrong for me. He would never want
anything but my favorite for me, I will accept this proposal.
Shocked, right everybody's I mean, this is like, a huge shock to to
everyone that hears this girl everybody's vying for, and she's
gonna married you a beep. But why did she do it? Because she had
that love for the prophesies that, um, that she didn't question him.
She didn't question that he really wanted her cat even if the, you
know, the, the optics didn't look like something that was good or
favorable to other people. She knew in her heart of hearts, that
because it came from the prophesize that, um, it was worthy
Subhanallah they were married. And they lived peacefully together
until July, he was one of the companions in a battle. Again,
it's not mentioned which one but he was martyred. Now this is where
Subhanallah we see the story. I mean, just again, trying to
imagine this scene unfolding because here's a man orphaned and
we've described how people perceived him, but to the
prophesies that him clearly he was of great importance to the point
that during the battle, or after the battle, the officers have
turned to his companions asking each one of them if they have
found anyone missing, you know, from their family, from their
people from their tribe. Did you find anyone missing? Is anyone
missing amongst you? And they would they said so and so and so
and so he again asked, is there anyone missing amongst you? And
they said so and so he then again, is asking them, like, you know,
again, eagerly trying to locate someone write of importance to
him. And now he reveals that and he says after they've repeatedly
said, No, there isn't anybody, he says, What, but I am missing Julie
beam. In other words, you know, he's important to me, you may have
found all these other people who are your family members, your
people, but I'm missing someone very special to me, that's who
this man, his rank was with the prophesy centum. And so the
Companions began to search for him. And they found that he had
been martyred. There were seven bodies laying around him, and the
process of them came heartbroken to see that he had been murdered.
But of course, you know, he conveyed that what had happened,
he said that he had been murdered these that he had killed the seven
and then one of them must have finally killed him. And then he
said, and he said this beautifully, two to three times
it's reported in the Hadith. He said, have a mini while an admin
who had a mini what an admin who, repeating this so that every
single person there, saw what the process is, and was conveying that
you all all of you at some point, thought this man is nothing, but
he is from me, and I am from him, right? We are the same, in other
words were the same. And he made sure to repeat it through two to
three times. And then because he was so small and so frail, do they
be as a person, the problem was that I picked him up by his own
arms. He didn't need anybody else. And if you've ever been been
around a funeral procession or anything like that, you know, it's
not actually very, it's not easy to pick up someone but that's how
small he was that he was able to lift him. And he placed him in the
ground, he dug his grave, He buried him himself. And and that
was, you know, the story that I think, to me anyway, I'm one of
many that conveys really love in so many different ways, so many
forms of love, right? Because, again, if you look at this
beautiful girl, sister, we don't know again, her name, who is
demonstrating to all of us that when you truly love and understand
who the prophesy centum is, then you don't question his guidance
for
