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