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
