Hosam Helal – ExSlave! Ramadan Series ‘Ataa Bin Rabah Ep. 8

Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

salatu salam ala Asha, silly. Today we're going to be talking

about a great Tavi whose name is our PA,

our PA, was known to be one of the greatest scholars in Mecca, people

would come from all over the past have been incidents around the

regions, to ask him for his opinions about very important

matters of the religion. But he wasn't always a scholar. In fact,

in his early years, he was a servant, he was a slave, because

of his color skin. And because of, you know, him being sold into the

slave trade, he was a slave. And he worked for a woman who would

give him very simple tasks, but because of his body built because

of his weakness, because of his, you know, frame, when he was

always knelt down, very weak, very fragile, he was unable to match or

do any of the tasks that were basically given to him. So the

lady just pretty much gave up on me. She told him, I can't even

have you as a slave, you're not doing a good job. You know what,

just go ahead, I give you your freedom, you can go and do

whatever you want. So she sets him free. And interestingly, when he

was set free, he didn't know what to do. But because he's been

through the slave trade for so many years, he decided, You know

what, the best thing to do is to seek knowledge. And this is what

he's mastered. You know, the woman who owned it, told them go ahead

and try to learn something. So we sat for 30 or 40, continuous

years, every single night learning from the greatest of companions,

for example, our beloved Mr. He sat with them all these years, and

he became one of the most important scholars not just

important, not just in Hadith, but also in jurisprudence. So

mastering the Quran, mastering the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad

salah, and mastering the sciences of jurisprudence and FIFA. One

beautiful story is when the Khalifa himself Soloman in Captain

Milliken came with his delegation came with all those all came with

all the advisors in the army in his room, he came with a large

delegation to perform Hajj to perform the pilgrimage and the

deferred about a matter in jurisprudence. So they basically

asked who is the greatest scholar here Metka that we can bring and

has an answer what's true, so they told him go to upper ignorable

they went to him and Khalifa you know, he wanted to but the line is

large line, everybody has a question. So I'll enter back to

them go back and stay in the line wait for your turn. Imagine he's

telling the Hadith himself stay in the line for you to turn. So when

he got his question answered, and he was really really admiring the

alpha and the response to offer a middle block the the way he

carried himself I put another block to the shock and many was

said it was said about him by the Khalifa that can even turn to his

children and told them Yeah, net a I like for him to follow the real

me will love him and and to be higher ed i hadn't Illya ignore

the real me. He says to his children, my children seek

knowledge and focus on attaining as much knowledge as possible.

Because even if I believe I've never had to humble myself to such

a point to anybody, except to offer him the robot because of his

knowledge because of how much knowledge you had. So imagine

because of his knowledge, look what he was, he was a slave. But

he came to a point through his knowledge, where even the Khalifa

was humbling himself waiting for his turn, and beautifully

accepting his answer. The hadith himself said about him, nobody

should issue and nobody should go to anybody except Allah for

questions because he indeed is the best when it comes to answering

when it comes to giving those responses. May Allah subhanaw

taala allow this month of Ramadan to be a month in which we seek

knowledge and in a month in which we are allowing ourselves to be

elevated through the knowledge with benefits and through the

knowledge that we attain. Does that mean the highest enjoy

Ramadan and keep learning so that

was it
