			Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06
			salam ala adalimumab Rufio Ramadan
Lila and I mean Susanna Milena
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			Muhammad Ali he wanted early he
Abdullah Salah to attend with the
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			slim welcome back to another
episode of the saviors of Islam.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			Tonight Insha Allah we begin with
a moment from the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			sallallahu alayhi salam his life
he gathered the companions and
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			said very powerful words to them.
He said fellow fellow Allah He
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			Melfa corruption equal, whether I
can share Alikum and to be subtle
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			alikoum dunya can boo so you
thought Allah man can Kabila come.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			That's an alpha zu Kemet and if
so, what will he come? Kim and her
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			tone? Very powerful words What did
the Prophet Muhammad Salim say
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			here, he said, By Allah, I don't
fear poverty over you. I'm not
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52
			worried about poverty, poverty is
not going to destroy you. What I'm
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			worried about is that the world
would open up its doors for you,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			the world would humble itself for
you materialism would become so
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			accessible as it became accessible
to the people before you. And it
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			would distract you like it
distracted the people before you
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			and it would destroy you like it
destroyed the people before you.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18
			This was one of the favorite
hadith of Al Hassan Al Basri. To
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			narrate from the member when he
gave the lectures when he gave the
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			whole talk when he gave the
reminders. And he would say this
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			in the face of the whole effect.
This is what he was known for,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:33
			known for being an advocate for
justice, in the most difficult and
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			in the most challenging of times.
What else would he say? He would
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			remind the people of the hadith of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			where it belongs Hadith and then
he would say way, a whole new now
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			what are you terminal? Why even
the Runa our Runa wallet, you were
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			food? Why have you how have you
when was sim? I was seven, I was
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			cement. So what'd he say? He said,
and then we'll sell a Musa say
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			there will come a time in which
people will speak but they will
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			not be trustworthy. They will give
their word but they will not keep
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			their promise. They will not
fulfill their covenants and they
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:12
			will become so complacent and so
used to luxury, that they will
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			gain so much weight they will eat
to the point again, where they
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			will be overfed. Tonight's Savior
as we discussed is an Hassan Al
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			bursary.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:27
			An icon al Hassan Al bursary was
known as Sayed a temporary the
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			master of all of the Teva in the
second generation of Muslims. He
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			was respected by the companions to
the point where listen to this
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:40
			carefully. When Anna signo Malik
was asked a question about Islam.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:45
			He said don't go to me when hustle
and bustle is here. Even though
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			Anis is one of the most senior of
the companions in the time of
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			hustle and bustle, and he's older,
he said, I have learned and so did
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			a lesson. But Allah subhanaw taala
bless the lesson with memory he
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			remembered and I have forgotten
and of course this was anuses way
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			of demonstrating his humility.
Don't ask me a question. When an
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			has an imbecile is here, let that
sink in and has an ulcer he was a
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			child a baby growing up at the
time of Ennis of nomadic a baby.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			But imagine the companion who sat
with Rasulullah salah, touch the
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			flesh of Rasulullah Salam, and
then they will sell and meet so
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			much to offer Ennis and he spent
10 You know, 710 years with the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Prophet Muhammad selling me
saying, don't ask me a question,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			when it happened in basally is
here. So who is this icon? Who is
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			this legend, the change Islamic
history, where his parents from
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			the aristocracy like we discussed
last night, where the powerful
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:43
			where the rich? No, both of his
parents were slaves, Sr, and
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			hierarchy, freed slaves, perhaps
you have not heard the names
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			before. And that goes to show you
Subhanallah with knowledge,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			knowledge and true intention and
sincerity, can take the most
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			unknown of people and elevate them
in the sight of Allah subhanaw
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			taala and then has an adversity
with speak to the whole affair and
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			he would remind them at a time in
which people became you know,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			complacent, and people became
distrusting and there was much
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			corruption and we discussed last
night, there was again, injustice
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			in the name of the state
divisiveness and politics. That
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			was very, that was very poisonous
and toxic. What would you say to
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			them? He would say them Allah
subhanho wa Taala looks in a way
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			that befits his majesty he looks
down upon the people, he looks to
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			the people of the earth. And the
ones who are standing at night
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			praying to Allah subhana Donna's
stead as icons like the stars
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			shine in the night. And the ones
who are committing injustice will
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			eventually be brought to him and
they will be showcased in front of
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			Allah subhanho data on yo
Millenium and brought to justice
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:56
			Subhan Allah, the companions of
hustle and bustle in the scholars
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00
			would say every one of us had a
specific
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			If you feel that the became
exceptional, and so somebody was
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			an expert in field jurisprudence,
someone who's an expert in now
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			grammar, somebody who was an
expert in law, but it hasn't
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			basally by the consensus of those
that were around him, was an
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:19
			expert in every area possible.
When the scholars have gathered,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			they would say, go to Al Hasan as
the ultimate authority. When the
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			scholars of Tafseer gathered, they
would say go to Al Hassan as the
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			ultimate authority. And if not
best, himself says, I have never
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			met somebody who's closer to the
language of the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			Salam, his speech, the way he
carried himself the etiquette,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:44
			then it hasn't allostery
Subhanallah Where does it all come
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:50
			from? How does this beautiful gift
come and manifest itself in an has
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			an anniversary? There? Well, I
must say two things happened. And
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			I want you to listen to this
carefully. The first thing Subhan
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			Allah is automatic, the hubbub
himself made dua for him, as a
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			child, Omar saw him as a child
studying, walking around carrying
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:09
			some notes. And he says, Oh Allah,
make him FLP make him do it his
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			knowledge and make him beloved to
the people. And that goes to show
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			you the power of dua, my uncles,
my parents, my brothers and my
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			sisters, when you see good in the
community, when you see potential,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			make dua for the person, make dua
for the person. Don't look at the
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			individual with envy and jealousy
or any other ill feeling. Look at
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:33
			that person as one of us. This is
the future of our OMA make dua for
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			those that have potential. He left
Medina at 17, went and lived in
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			Missouri. And when he settled in
Missouri, that's how we got his
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			name. Two very interesting things
happen when he settles in
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			Missouri. The first is he goes in,
he collects as much knowledge as
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			possible from the owner of Basra
and sits within a bass and becomes
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:55
			one of his most dedicated
students. Not only that, he joins
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			the campaign's defending the
frontiers of Islam and spreading
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:04
			Islam, and joins at least 70 other
words, he joins, he carries the
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			sword at a time in which of
course, the Muslim community, the
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			Muslim community was engaging with
others in this way. He carries the
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14
			sword, he doesn't just stick to
the books, he concerns himself
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			with the needs of the Ummah, he
doesn't say I'm just a scholar,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			I'm going to limit myself to, you
know, my studying and my research
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			and my teaching, though he goes,
and he shares the struggle of the
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			Muslim community. And that's a
reminder for our shoe and our
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			ultimate, be one of the people
don't be different. Don't be, you
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			know, it's good to be special in
the fair. And Allah Subhana. Allah
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			gives you that privilege and
blessing, it's good to be treated
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			with that respect, but make
yourself accessible. And that's
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			one thing that made it hasn't
basally really stand out one thing
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			again, or one example of how he
made himself accessible is one day
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			he was sleeping at home. And his
students felt comfortable enough
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			to enter the house while he's
sleeping, you know, the family let
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			him in, and the SAT and the eight
and a half or three wakes up. And
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			he's How did you guys get here?
Well, your family let us in. He
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			says this is the sweetest feeling
to know that you're not just my
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			students, you are my brothers. Now
I feel so happy that you let
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			yourselves in with the permission
of the family, and that you're
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			staying and you're eating and
waiting for me. And he would say
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			to his students, I would feel
comfortable, I would feel
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			comfortable. If you were to be
comfortable enough to put your
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			hand in my pocket and take
whatever you need without asking
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			me. Imagine the level of
generosity, take whatever you need
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:36
			and don't even ask when he went to
El bussola. Many of the Arabs who
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			settled in El basura were very
reluctant to wear the clothing of
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			alasa and has an illusory from
very early on. He was one of those
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			who wore the clothing of the
people of a Basa. And that really
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			gained the respect of those who
live there. I'm not going to be
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			different. Now I'm going to adopt
the clothing and the style of the
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57
			people. I don't want to build more
barriers between me and my
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			community. Subhan Allah so He wore
the pile of sand, which was the
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			clothing of the people of El
basura. What are the thing that's
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:10
			unique about hasta la serie is he
maintained neutrality, when there
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			was tension and conflict between
the Sahabas he was always quick to
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			maintain neutrality. But when it
was, again, when one side was
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:22
			clearly in the right, he did not
compromise speaking justly. He
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			spoke justly, as a matter of fact,
once and had judge came to him.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			And he, you know, saw the
beautiful eloquence of it had
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			judge saw the beautiful eloquence
of an accent. And by the way, he
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			was very eloquent as well. So you
recognize the elegance of other
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			hats, and he told him you're
incredible. What a beautiful gift
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			that you have. What can I do for
you? So magical head judge and I
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			had to do sports was known for a
lot of unjust acts. You know, he
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			he catapulted the cab, he
destroyed a part of the club and
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			there's a long story behind that,
but he was not a man of justice,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			even though he did some hair as
well. But of course the injustice
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			prevails. Now what did what did
the lesson How did the hustlers
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			spawned imagine how do you say
what can I do for you? And how
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:06
			judge is shocked to hear the
response of it hasn't. He says,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:12
			The only thing that I can ask is
for two more years of the filth of
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			aroma, meaning the filth of aroma,
even the hubbub and some say the
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			filler for Ramadan Abdulaziz,
meaning I wish that we can get
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			more of the time of justice so
that you would have no position to
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:28
			stand as somebody of injustice.
And of course, it had judge enough
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:33
			Sri fina FC kept it concealed. But
he kept again, directly alluding
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			to it. And of course, being
indirect as well and subtle in
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:41
			speaking against untruth and
injustice. My brothers and my
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:45
			sisters, I'll leave you with three
things inshallah before we close
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:50
			very quickly, once it has an ill
basally was in his home, praying,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			and a thief enters the house.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			And the thief expected and hustle
and bustle, interrupted salah, but
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			it hasn't obviously continued
praying, and finally finished and
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			the thief, you know, was caught.
And it has mostly asked him what
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			brought you here, so come to you
know, and he recognized them. So
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			he said to him, do you have
anything in the house? Is there
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			anything at all that I can take?
It has elbow services? No, I have
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			nothing of the Dooney you can look
around, I have all nothing that
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			you can take, you know, just the
basic stuff that I'm sleeping in
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:27
			my basic bedding besides that
nothing else. He says, Well, is
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			there anything that you can get?
Is there anything he says come
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			with me, my brother and let's pray
to rock as to Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:39
			together, and he stood next to him
and they prayed to rock as and the
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			hustle bustle recited as
beautifully of the Quran about the
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			etiquette of forgiveness and
seeking forgiveness and forgiving
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:51
			others and those that really
touched the individual that came
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:55
			to steal the thief and he repented
to Allah subhanaw taala. And what
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			stands out here, although there's
discussion about the authenticity
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:04
			of the story, regardless of that,
what stands out is the eloquence
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			of an Hasson you could have gave
him a long lecture. And it hasn't,
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			by the way, was a very powerful
guy, big guy, very tall, very
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			muscular. So he wasn't in a
position of weakness, he could
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:18
			have easily overpowered that man.
So he told him come and pray. He
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:23
			didn't use large words, and a long
conversation on the long reminder,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			kept it short. Let's pray
together, Stan to Allah subhanaw
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:32
			taala and pray together at night,
once he was approached by some of
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			the Amir's and they told him you
know what? Were actually some of
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			the slaves in the community
approached him and they told him,
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			You should give some reminders,
some hope about the importance of
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			freeing slaves. So he went the
first week, the second week, third
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:49
			week, fourth week, didn't give any
hope was about freeing slaves.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			Finally, on the fourth or fifth
week, he gave a reminder about the
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			importance and the budget
associated with freeing slaves. So
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			they asked him, why did it take
you so long? He said, I wanted to
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			make sure you know, I didn't own
any slaves. I didn't have the
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			power or the money to be able to
afford so I saved up and I went
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			and found someone who was a slave
and I set them free, so that
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			before I get on the member, and I
tell others to do that, I would
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			have done it myself, so that I
would avoid hypocrisy.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:26
			When he passed away, Jews,
Christians and Muslims, left
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:31
			masala and went to the grave site
or to the graveyard to honor the
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:36
			person of an Hassanal basally. And
as it was on a Friday that He was
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:41
			buried, and so many people
attended the burial that the Assad
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:47
			Salah in the masjid in Basra was
not attended by anybody, all the
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			people, the more than the Imam,
the people that usually pray in
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			the masjid, they left to honor al
Hassan anniversary and make dua
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			for him. My brothers and my
sisters at a time of injustice and
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:03
			a time of division and a time of
conflict. What stood out about
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			that Hassanal basally is humility
is accessibility, his kindness and
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:13
			eloquence through his words, and
his his his insistence upon
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			speaking the truth to anybody that
was around him. May Allah Subhana
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			Allah allow us to be from those
who are just and fair in
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			everything that we say and in
everything that we do. Yeah, I
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:27
			mean, I mean, now I mentioned to
you that it hasn't was very
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			eloquent. So let's look at some of
the things that he beautifully
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:37
			said. He said Sir Rafi pan at
Durham Medina. Lie and fan Hatter
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			youfor recon.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:44
			what a what a terrible friend, the
dyrham and the dinar, you know the
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48
			currencies, the gold and the
silver. They will not benefit you
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			until the leave your hands. Look
at that. Again. He was known for
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			his eloquence, very quick, very
concise, and to the point he says
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			really NASA be fairly well at
every room before we leave
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			I give advice to people with your
action, not with your speech. And
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:08
			he also says to the people around
him in NEMA and a yam and you move
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:13
			on, you're just, you're just a
number of days. Malema MALBA Yom
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:18
			Maga Baldock every day that passes
a part of you passes and he would
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			say this to the fullest. And he
also spoke to the the Khalifa at
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:26
			the time and he says, enamel Eman,
release EBITDA, Halle Walla with
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:31
			Tammany enamel Eman Mao, ACARA
Philippi, will be also dako lemon.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:37
			He says indeed, Faith Eman is not
in this, you know, exaggerated and
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:41
			beautiful displays that people do.
And it's not in wishful thinking.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:46
			Indeed a man is what resides in
the heart and what is confirmed by
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:50
			action. May Allah Subhana Allah
make us believers design como la
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:55
			hyaluron Subhanak Allama Hamrick.
Nisha to Allah Allah Allah and Mr.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:59
