00:00:00 --> 00:00:43
			But today is the second most important narrator of Hadith. He has the second highest number of
hadith is after Abu Nadella and this young man is Anas ibn Malik. And as a young man because the
bulk of the story he was a young man, but as you will see, he lived a very long life. And at one
point in the story, he's not just the old man, but he's the ancient man, right there. This is an
even Malik, honest, even Malik radula, one who converted to Islam around the age of seven or eight
years old. I want you to think about that he converted to Islam around the age of seven or eight
years old. And from the age of 10, to the age of 20. He is in the company of Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:21
			alayhi wasallam, every single day, every single day. This is a man who had the most blessed of
lives. And we mentioned his story two weeks ago, when we mentioned the conversion of his mother.
That Muslim converts to Islam. She's one of the first people of Medina to convert. Her husband comes
back from a tree journey very angry at her, he begins to shout at her and fight with her about
converting to Islam. And she needs to ask, Well, are you teaching this to my children, and honestly
dramatic as a small child, seven or eight years old, he says I shall do Allah Allah, Allah, Allah,
Allah Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah in front of his father, and his father gets even more angry and he
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			leaves home. And he goes off on another journey, and he passes away in another country as a
disbeliever.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:02:06
			So this is another important point to remember what honestly permalink he was an orphan in the sense
that he lost his father when he was seven years old. But we mentioned last week what I would call
her, what was the thing that almost to the imprint, I would call her for the most. She said, may
Allah have mercy and I will tell her, he treated my sons like his own. He treated my sons like his
own. And so Abu Taha raised under Zyban, Malik, like his own son, and I'm honestly when Malik did
not have a lack of male role models, because in the evenings, he is what I would call her. And in
the daytime, he would Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So he's always around a positive male
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			role model. And this made a very big difference in how we grew up.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:51
			So when, when Omis tell them when to take the pledge of Aqaba. And when she was welcoming Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam into the community. She felt bad that she could not pledge allegiance to
him in a way where she could serve Him all the time. Because of course, She's the lady even though
she was maharam to him. And she is a she has a family to take care of. So what she does, she does
something nobody else does. Right? She takes her young son Anders, who is 10 years old at the time,
and said, Oh rasool Allah, my son is at your service. My son is at your service as you for the next
10 years, honestly, but Malik is worth Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, wherever he goes.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:30
			Now, it's important to note that when we say that, honestly, but Malik was at the service of
Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never treated him
like a servant. Never. He treated him like a son. He treated him like part of his family. And we see
this in the testimony of undisciplined Malik, where he says that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he said, I served him for 10 years, and not once. Did he ever say to me, why did you do
this? Or why didn't you do that? Not once they even say OOF to me I'll once they say a bad word to
me. This is a small child, who is going through it with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam who's
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:09
			making mistakes, who is doing things that children will do? Get Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam never once mentions a bad word to him. And really, this sets the bar very high for parenting.
Right? This is the best of parenting. We may not live up to this level, but we should at least try
to that to reach the level of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and how he treated the children around
you. And this is a point about the seerah that that goes over the heads of many of us Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we know he had four daughters and three sons. Right? But what we fail
to realize is that he raised many other children as well. The children of Khadija radula one had the
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:46
			children of OMA Salama, Graciela Aha, Alibaba, Vitaly grew up in the home of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, then even he still grows up in the home of Rasulullah Salallahu Salam was somebody
been Zaid grows up being treated like a grandson. And honestly family grows up in the company of
Rasulullah, salallahu Alaihe, salam, many, many children grew up around him. So you can imagine this
man who has such an important role in society, making time not just for his own children, but for
the children of others for the orphans of society as well. So these orphans grew up under his care.
And there are many generations of them interacting with him in a way that the father and child
		
00:04:46 --> 00:05:00
			intact. And so honestly, well Malik was one of these best children who despite growing up without
his father, he grew up in the company of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and spent 10 years
with him. And he suddenly honestly, bumalik didn't make mistakes.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			The most famous narration about him is where he made a mistake and how Rasulullah sallallahu Lifson
reacted to it. So honestly Malik narrates that one day when he was like 11, or 12 years old
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sent him to the marketplace to do a chore. And on his way, he
saw some of the other kids is age playing with pigeons, right in those days didn't have video games.
They didn't have our technology. They used to play with pigeons, right? There was their pets. And if
you remember the story, honestly, when my legs younger brother even had his own pet pigeon, right by
the name of a whale. So he saw the children playing with a pigeon and he joined it and he forgot
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:10
			about the chore. Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam is waiting to Annecy family to come back. He
doesn't come back. So he goes out to look for him. And he sees him playing with the other children.
And he laughs about it. He loves me and shout him. He understands that child children get
distracted. He laughs about it. And he asked him to go and do the chore now and honestly go Malik
realizes the wild plane. He lost the money that the prophets allies have sent him wood. So
Rasulullah saw some laughs about it. And he goes and does it himself, showing a very high level of
character from the prophets of Allah leaves and other people. Malik never forgot his interactions
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:54
			with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he spends the next 10 years in his company. And after
the death of Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi wasallam for the next 80 years, the next 80 years. Honestly
bumalik sits in the masjid and teaches Hadith for eight years. And I want us to go back to a very
important point in the beginning of the story. When honestly bumalik is taken by his mother to
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what does she say? She says oh Rasul Allah, this is my son
unless he is at your service, but please make dua for him. That's all she wants you to return a dua
for her son. And this is a forgotten sunnah to ask people to make dua for our children, especially
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:37
			righteous people, especially the elders of our community, people who will do us a generally answered
how many of us go to the messy make dua for my child? We don't know whose dua will be answered. And
yet we see a very blessed occasion where Mr. Lim asked your soul Allah salAllahu alayhi salam to
make dua for her son, and he makes a powerful dua that is answered and what is the dua says, Oh
Allah bless him in his life and his progeny and his world, put Baraka in his life, put Baraka in his
children put Baraka in his wealth, and unassuming Malik. So all three parts of this dua come through
in his lifetime. One of the miracles of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is how these two are
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:50
			manifested in the life of anisimov Malik, because we said he was 20 years old when the Prophets the
lights on passed away, and he spent the next 80 years teaching Hadith. So how old was unzipper Malik
when he passed away to the max
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:31
			over 100. Some even though he was 105 105 years old, can you imagine 100 years later, and honestly,
bumalik is still in the machine teaching Heidi's the people who Adobe lien for no other reason
except that they met on a supermodel when he was over 100 years old. This was the baraka in the life
where he lived to be over 100 years old. And he never reached that level of old age where he's
dependent on others. He never reaches that, right in the age of 104 105. You see him going and
standing up to tyrants. You see him giving lectures in the masjid, you see not afraid of anyone.
He's still a healthy man right to that age. Again, the baraka of the dua of Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:08:31 --> 00:09:08
			alayhi wa sallam, he not only lived a long life, but he maintained his health for the entire life.
Number two, what was the second part of the DUA put Baraka in his world unless even Maalik became so
wealthy, that other people would ask him to to be a silent partner in their business, because there
was a guarantee that if honestly, bumalik invested in your business, you're going to make a profit.
He never made a loss in business, any business deal he took part in became profitable. And so many,
many people made him a partner in their business. And he didn't really care about the business
because they reached a point where the money was too much. You know, anyone who's made money knows
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:42
			you should a point where it means nothing to you, right? He's just too much. And he would just give
all this money to charity and set up various, you know, charitable institutions all over, he would
just give the money out and he would just keep coming back and keep coming back. More and more and
more throughout his life. He never had to worry about money. He never had to worry about poverty. He
became from the wealthiest of people. And number three, put baraka and his children. I mean,
honestly, when Malik would walk to the masjid, you would see a group of 100 young men behind him.
And people would ask adores his students, and others would say, No, those are his sons and
		
00:09:42 --> 00:10:00
			grandsons, and he's great grandsons. That's his family. 100 young men. In one narration even says he
had he had 80 children 80 Children, right. Some say that's an exaggeration. But however many
children he had, they had children and they had children but he
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			live to the age of 105. So the age of 105 You've got your children, your grandchildren, your great
grandchildren, your great great grandchildren, all of those coming with him to the masjid. Right.
So, he has this huge family, massive family. And the baraka is not just in the numbers, the baraka
is in the quality, because when you look at the Hadith generations of Annecy by Malik, you will find
his son and the rating from him and that person son the rating from him and that person son the
rating from him, meaning generation upon generation of Obama, generation upon generation of Hadith
scholars. The Baraka is not just in the quantity of children, but in the quality of children. Now
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:02
			what is to look at this aspect of Annecy bumalik slide from a different perspective, one we may
never thought about before Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that when a person passes
away, all of their deeds come to an end except for three knowledge that they left behind to benefit
people wealth that they gave to charity that continues to benefit people and the descendants that
make dua for them, the righteous descendants and make to offer them
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:41
			three things benefit you after you pass away and we need to spend our lives building up these three
things. undisciplined Malik's life was these three things, think about it, his wealth that just kept
coming in and kept coming in no matter how much he gave to charity. That's the charity he left
behind. There continues to benefit people his knowledge, which right until today, you cannot teach
Islam without quoting honestly family, you cannot teach Islam according to his family, he narrated
the second largest number of Hadees that knowledge continues to benefit us today. And inshallah he
continues to get to the water today. And then righteous descendants that make dua for you. He left
		
00:11:41 --> 00:12:24
			behind over 100 descendants, righteous people who may do awfully. And so we see the baraka of the
dua of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that honest ibn Malik becomes the kind of person who
leaves behind a legacy that will continue to build up his good deeds until the day of judgment. And
I want us to focus on that for our own lives. This is a very important aspect of Islam. There are
many of us forget that one day we are all going to die. We want our deeds to outlive us. This is
very important. We all will leave this world our deeds must outlive us. Find ways to leave behind
knowledge that benefits others. Find ways to invest your money in charity that continues to benefit
		
00:12:24 --> 00:13:01
			others after you passed away. And make sure you raise a next generation and the generation after
that to be righteous people that even after you have passed away and hundreds of years have gone by
your descendants are still making dua for you. People are still saying I'm a descendant of so and
so. Allah be pleased with him. Make sure you leaving behind generation upon generation of
righteousness that make dua for you. So this is the legacy of Anas ibn Malik Graciela when
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasalam passes away the greatest tragedy to afflict the Ummah, honestly,
but Malik had the honor of being part of the janazah of Rasulullah sallallahu. He's one of those who
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:41
			actually did the whistle for the body of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And we have the
famous Hadith in the beginning of the Shemitah of did amazing. We honestly were Malik says the when
Rasulullah sallallahu, the son passed away, and we are washing his body, I counted the number of
white hairs on his beard, and it was less than 20. Less than 20 Rasulullah sallallahu Lifson passes
away at the age of 62. He has less than 20 white hairs, right? Most of us know that this is a
miracle itself, right? Because let's face it, we start getting white hairs very young. Right? For
Rasulullah sallallahu at the age of 62 to have only less than 20 white hairs. This was you know, a
		
00:13:41 --> 00:14:01
			sign that Allah has blessed him with youth until the old age that he remained a young foot man, no
matter how old he got, and honestly bumalik was the same. One of the benefits of Annecy bumalik
spending his youth with Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is that he reached a level of love for the
prophets of Allah, Allah He was something we can't even imagine
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:39
			that anything the Prophet liked, he liked the generations where he said, I went to the prophets
while some to eat food, and people serve the something. And I saw that the Prophet loved it. And for
the rest of my life, I love that same food. This was the level of love He reached for Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam and you read such a strong level of love for him and closest knew and
connection to him, that he had empirical, another miracle that honestly would make you jealous. And
America was we say during his life, it's been 10 years in the company of Rasulullah sallallahu
wasallam every single day after Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passes away every single
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:59
			night for the next 85 years for the rest of of Annecy, romantics life. He dreams of Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam he sees him in his dreams every single night. This was a Kurama gifted to Annecy
bumalik for spending his youth accompanying Rasulullah lightsome and dedicating the rest of his life
to teaching Hadith. Allah blessed him with this miracle of seeing him in
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:35
			streams. I mean, whoever saw Rasulullah sallallahu sent me his exact form in his dreams has truly
seen him. And so he saw him every single night. I want us to think about the legacy of this man and
to remember his legacy. And we need to revive this legacy. We need to study these Hadees and this
evil Malik spent 85 years teaching our Hadees have we studied these bodies have we internalized
them? Have we made them a part of our life? Have we learned to live by them? Because this man
dedicated his life to making sure that the legacy of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam reaches us. So we
need to make sure that we are taking advantage of that and we are studying that and we are living by
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:41
			it. Subhanallah Rebecca Robin is at Jamba seafood was salam ala mousseline was Hamdulillah.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:16:03

Well, hello, have you heard the Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was Sharon Morley. And they
said to her desert in 18 Dolla dolla, COVID Now
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:46
			everyone goes to test you live everyone goes to child in life. And you know the story we mentioned
of anuncio Malik, it seems very rosy, right? Just good thing upon good thing, but we have to
remember, everyone faces transit, and that includes other supermodels. When he was young, he faced
the trial of his father passing away. But the trials he faced in old age was really something very
severe, and something that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. But they also revealed his character, that
to be one of the bravest, and the most sincere and the most outspoken of the sahaba. So we say that
honestly, bumalik had over 100 descendants, and he lived to the age of 105. So he lived to see some
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:02
			very dark times in our history. He lived through the Civil War, which he set out off, he did not get
involved on either side in the Civil War. He lived through the second Civil War. Right. And just
before the second Civil War, many of us don't know about the second Civil War right between the army
of
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:48
			the Romanians and Abdullah ibn Zubayr. Right. Many of us are not aware of this civil war, but just
before the Civil War, there's a couple of events that sparked it. The one we know off is Karbala,
and we all know Karbala, for many of us don't know about another even more tragic event, none in
terms of who was killed but in terms of numbers that took place a few weeks after Karbala, after
Karbala. The Muslims of Medina were very, very angry, and rightly so descendents of Rasulullah
sallallahu, who had been killed by Muslims. So the people of Medina began to protest. And the tyrant
king of the time you see, he sends an army of mercenaries to Medina, and tells them they have three
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			days to do whatever they want.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			And they did things to Medina, the Muslims and the Sahaba Medina that we can't even mentioned on the
member.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01
			You know, when you send an army into a place and tell them they can do what they want, we know what
they do.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			And on that occasion,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:18
			hundreds of the RBE in and AbuDhabi were murdered and massacred, including many many of the children
of Annecy, Romanenko. Many of his children and grandchildren were killed that day. So he lived to
see a massacre of his descendants.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:35
			But he doesn't end there. Because to win this civil war, the Romanians employed a very tyrannical
general by the name of Hajin Yusuf and her judgment use of analyse bumalik they would clash on many,
many occasions,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:50
			to such an extent that that her judgment and use of would publicly humiliate under symbolic he would
put him in public with a sign on him to humiliate him. Right to put him down. Can you imagine
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:17
			that this individual spends his youth in the company of Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi wasallam. And he
spends his life teaching a hadith. Yet when he reaches old age, much younger men than him who never
met the Prophet slowly as someone who claimed to be Muslims were publicly humiliating him, were
putting him down. Were trying to kill him. Honestly, they wanted to kill him, but because of his
status in society, they couldn't do that without causing a riot.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:47
			And it reached such a bad point, that honestly bumalik had to write a letter to the king to the
Omega King, telling him to see what her judges doing. See what her judges saying. You need to deal
with it. And the king has to write two letters, one to Annecy, bumalik apologizing and the other to
*, but use of telling him to apologize to Anna super Malik. And so I judge him and use a very
insincerely offers a public apology to Annecy family, but the tension remains for the rest of their
lives.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:20:00
			And mentioned the story because it's important for us to realize that life is a test. And no matter
how righteous a person is, they will be tested. And even the best of people were tested. Even
someone like I
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:34
			Wanna see my mother, who spent his youth in the company of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam and he
never missed the battle, the early battles he must fighting in them because he was too young. Right?
He was 10 years old, he was 11 years old. But as soon as he hit puberty, he took part in every other
battle. He was there amongst on this fighting on the side of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. He did
he spend the rest of his life teaching the Hadees and teaching people about Rasulullah sallallahu.
These are Andy Shamaya, the physical descriptions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. He's one
of the main the rates of that, because he spent 10 years with him every single day, he he's the one
		
00:20:34 --> 00:21:12
			who described to us exactly how he looked. And so honestly family that spends his life in doing all
of this, but still he is not spared the trials of this life. Still, he's not spared from facing
tests in this life, from seeing his descendants massacred, to being publicly humiliated by a tyrant
ruler. He faced trial upon trial. And through all of these trials, he was patient through all of
these trials remain sincere, he remained committed to teaching our Hadees we remain committed to
speaking the truth, he never allowed any of these things to stop him from his mission in life. And
this is my final lesson for us from the story of other people, Malik that life will get tough. And
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:49
			every single one of us will face difficulty. And every single one of us will face some kind of
trials. That is the moment where you see how sincere you are in your faith. That if you continue on
the straight path to every trial, that is the sign of sincerity. If you are able to rise up and be
stronger and be brave and be more pious, no matter how difficult life gets, that is a sign of
sincere faith. And that is what the Sahaba went through. And this is what every believer should
expect to go through life in this world is not meant to be easy, easy, easy agenda. In this world.
There are ups and downs, the appearance of ease and the appearance of difficulty for some people the
		
00:21:49 --> 00:22:21
			whole lives, the difficulty with the ease only coming agenda. And so we take lessons from the lives
of the Sahaba that they went through these trials and they came out from it stronger. So ensure the
child of our lives, we too will come out stronger. You ask Allah to accept from us our efforts we
ask Allah to bless us with the correct understanding of his religion with appreciation for the
Hadees and Allah for the Sahaba Robina Artina for dunya Hasina will argue with the Hasina, working
