AI: Summary ©
Zayid bin Thabit, a man with a brief overview of the characteristics he has, wants to do something that the prophet he didn't want to do. He gives a brief overview of the process of learning and collecting different fragments of the Quran, emphasizing the importance of finding witnesses to testify that the words he wrote were true at the time of the prophet's time. The speaker discusses the dispute between Hoseymah and banjo, where Hoseymah claims to have made an agreement with banjo to buy a certain item, but banjo refuses to confirm it. Hoseymah becomes upset when banjo tells him that every Muslim who is reading the Qurans is copied and pasted for Abu Bakr.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

And bring it together and make one copy

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

of the Quran.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

Abu Bakr as Siddiq, he said, how can

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

I do something that the prophet

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

he never did? And how can I do

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

something that the prophet he didn't command us

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

to do? He's worried about falling into innovation.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

Umar

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

he said,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

He said, by Allah, this is something good.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

And he kept insisting and persisting, and to

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

Abu Bakr as Siddiq, he accepted.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

Abu Bakr as Siddiq, he called Zayd ibn

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

Thabit.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

Zaid ibn Thabit was the same companion who

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

wrote the Quran at the time of the

00:00:56 --> 00:00:56

prophet

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

He called Zaid. He said, Yeah, Zaid.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

We want you to write the Quran in

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

one place.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

Our book is addressing him, and so is

00:01:04 --> 00:01:04

Omar.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

Zaid ibn Thabit, he felt the same thing

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

that Abu Bakr felt in the beginning. He

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

said, how can we do something

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

that the prophet

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

told us not to do? How can we

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

do something that the prophet didn't tell us

00:01:16 --> 00:01:16

to do?

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

They told them, it's going to be something

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

good. Just accept it and do it.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

Zayd ibn Thabit, he said, if these 2

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

told me to move a mountain from its

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

place,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

he said, this would be a easier task

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

for me,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

a mountain. And who can move a mountain?

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

Nobody. But he said I would prefer to

00:01:33 --> 00:01:33

do that.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

He said, how am I going to do

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

all of this?

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

They said, we have chosen you, Ozeid, for

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

4 characteristics that you possess that no other

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

companion possesses.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

The first quality that you possess is

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

you are a young man. You're young.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

This task of compiling the Quran can be

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

done by a young person. We can't give

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

this task to an old person. This is

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

the first quality that Zayd bin Thabit has.

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

The second one,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

you are very smart.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

This task is not suitable for one who

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

is not smart. You are smart.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

The third task is you are Amin, you

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

are trustworthy.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

And the final quality that you have

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

is that you already did this once before.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

You did it for the prophet

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

So because the prophet chose you, we are

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

also choosing you now.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

Zayd bin Thabiti accepted the task

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

and he began collecting the different fragments that

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

the Quran was written in at the time

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

of the prophet and they used to write

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

whatever they could find. They write on stones

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

and sticks and wood and feathers and anything

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

that they would find they would write it

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

down because the wahi is coming down, revelation

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

is coming down,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

The would summon the scribes who are there.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

There's no time to go look for some

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

cardboard paper or anything similar to that. You

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

have to write it down straight away because

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

more revelation is gonna come and more revelation

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

is gonna come. So they write whatever was

00:02:51 --> 00:02:51

close to them.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

Zaidim al Thabit now he has to collect

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

all of this and now he has to

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

copy this and write it out once again.

00:02:58 --> 00:02:58

But

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

in order for him to accept any fragment

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

from the time of the prophet

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

he placed a condition.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

What is the condition?

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

He said that every single fragment that I

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

find, I need to find 2 witnesses that

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

can testify

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

that this was written at the time of

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

the prophet

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

for every fragment. If I don't find that,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

I'm not going to accept it.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:23

And subhanAllah,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

he found 2 witnesses for every single fragment

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

of the Quran that was written at the

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

time of the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

except for 2 verses of the Quran. Everything

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

else was found. 2 verses,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

he only found one person who testified that

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

this was written at the time of the

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

Does anybody know that one witness that he

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

found those 2 verses with?

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

No?

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

No.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

No.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

Yusuf?

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

Khozema.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

Khozema. His name was Khozema ibn Thabit.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

Khozema,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

this companion, they found 2 verses of the

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

Quran only with him. Is there anybody else

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

to testify? No. Just Khozema.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

So why are we accepting it if we

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

said that we need 2 witnesses for every

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

fragment? Hoseymah is one guy.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

Zayd ibn Thabit, he accepted this from Hoseymah

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

because he remembered that the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

wasallam, he said that

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

if Hoseymah

00:04:37 --> 00:04:37

testifies,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

Fahuwa Hasbah.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

He said the testimony

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

of Hoseymah,

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

it suffices

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

2 people.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

It's like 2 people.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

Why is that though?

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

It's very interesting.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

During the time of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:04:52 --> 00:04:52

Wasallam,

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

one time the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

wanted to buy

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

something from a Bedouin man.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

And he made the agreement. I want to

00:05:02 --> 00:05:03

buy this item from you, and I want

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

to buy it for this particular amount.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

Who's the buyer? The prophet who's the seller?

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

A Bedouin man. The agreement took place.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:11

But

00:05:13 --> 00:05:13

the

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

buyer, who is the prophet he's saying that

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

I don't have the funds. Come with me.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

I'm going to give you the funds. So

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

they're walking, the buyer and the the prophet

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

and the bedroom, they're walking together until the

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

seller, he finds someone else, another customer.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

And he finds another customer, he says, I

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

got something to the same thing he wanted

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

to sell to the prophet. I said, I

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

wanna send it to you now. Do you

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

wanna buy it? The guy agreed, said I'm

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

gonna send it to you.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

So the prophet said, let me said, didn't

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

I make an agreement with you? Why are

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

you, like, agreeing with someone else? Said, you

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

didn't make an agreement with me.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

He said, who's your witness?

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

Hussein. Hussein said, I'm your witness.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

The prophet said, you weren't even there. How

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

are you the witness?

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

Hussein said something similar to Abu Bakr. He

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

said, oh, messenger of Allah,

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

you tell us that you receive revelation.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

We don't see it.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

This is this is shocking. I teach Quran.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

I'm a teacher of Quran. Every time I

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

teach, I never I can't understand this.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

He's saying, oh, message of Allah, you tell

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

us that you receive revelation. We don't witness

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

this.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

He said,

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

we believe in you with reports from the

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

sky, meaning revelation.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

So how can we believe reports that took

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

place on earth?

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

You are saying Quran came down, no one

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

sees this by you, no one feels it

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

by you. So you're telling us that this

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

took place and we're not gonna believe you.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

Oh, messenger of Allah, I testify

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

by Allah that this took place and this

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

man is lying.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

The prophet was very pleased with what he

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

said and he said from today, if Hoseymah

00:06:47 --> 00:06:50

testifies to anything, his testimony is enough. And

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

because of the he accepted those 2 verses

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

from Hoseymah.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

And the Quran then was compiled and put

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

in one place. And now, subhanallah, we're just

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

reading the Quran. We woke up as Muslims,

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

dear brothers and sisters. We woke up as

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

Muslims. We woke up and the masaids were

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

already built. We woke up and the Qurans

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

were already printed.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10

I'm taking you back to the beginning when

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

none of this was done.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

Every single Muslim who is reading the Qur'an,

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

who is memorizing the Qur'an, who is listening

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

to the Qur'an, who is teaching the tafsir

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

of the Qur'an, who is looking at the

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

Qur'an, looking at the Qur'an is abadah.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

Every single person who does this,

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

every single person,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

his good deeds are also copied and pasted

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

for Abu Bakr as Siddiq radiAllahu anhu.
