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
