wanting you to a la hora Sula, who

00:01:04--> 00:01:05

was in Hawaii.

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

In last week's hookah.

00:01:15--> 00:01:18

We mentioned the story of cabin Malik robiola.

00:01:21--> 00:01:23

During the Battle of Luke,

00:01:25--> 00:01:31

when all of the believers were supposed to leave and participate in that battle,

00:01:32--> 00:01:45

and the only ones who remained behind were either the hypocrites or those who had a legitimate excuse. They were ill. They were sick.

00:01:47--> 00:01:52

Either they were not physically able to attend or financially they were not able to attend.

00:01:53--> 00:02:02

Except three individuals remain behind who are not of the hypocrites, nor of those who had a legitimate excuse.

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

And one of them was cabin Malik roseola.

00:02:07--> 00:02:11

And so when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam returned from that battle,

00:02:13--> 00:02:23

and the hypocrites and everyone who remained behind came forward to give their justification and their excuses for why they remain behind

00:02:26--> 00:02:28

when it was the turn of cabinet and Malik graviola, who

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

he thought of making an excuse and lying.

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

But he realized

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

that there was no point.

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

And so he told the truth,

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

and he kept to his word.

00:02:46--> 00:02:47

What happened after that?

00:02:49--> 00:02:54

We let caddy be Malik rhodiola, who happen to tell us his story himself.

00:02:56--> 00:03:08

He says, thereafter Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam forbade all of the Muslims from speaking to us three

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

khabib and Malik and the other two.

00:03:15--> 00:03:37

As a result, the Muslims had boycotted us, and their attitude had changed towards us. And it seemed as if the whole atmosphere in Medina had turned against us. We remained like this for 50 days and nights. As for my two companions,

00:03:38--> 00:03:48

they stayed at home weeping and crying. But as for me, I was young, I was bald. And so I would leave home.

00:03:49--> 00:03:58

And I would pray in the masjid with the Muslims. And I would go about in the markets, but no one would speak to me.

00:03:59--> 00:04:07

I would come to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam as he would be sitting among the people after Salah,

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

and I would give him myself.

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

I would say a Salam Alikum

00:04:15--> 00:04:19

and I would see and I would ask myself,

00:04:20--> 00:04:37

did he sallallahu alayhi wasallam move his lips to reply to me or not. I would pray near him. I would take a glance at him. When I would finish my Salah he would look at me, but then when I would look at him, he would turn his eyes from me.

00:04:39--> 00:04:40

He goes on to say

00:04:41--> 00:04:43

when this harsh treatment

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

had prolong.

00:04:49--> 00:04:52

I decided to go to one of my cousin's in Medina.

00:04:53--> 00:04:54

Abu Qatada

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

who was very beloved to me.

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

I went to his go

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

In and I climbed his wall

00:05:04--> 00:05:06

and I greeted him. I said my son

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

he didn't return his son.

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

I said to him, oh Abu Qatada

00:05:18--> 00:05:24

I beg you, In the name of Allah. Are you not aware that I love a lion His messenger?

00:05:25--> 00:05:26

He remained silent.

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

kab repeated himself.

00:05:31--> 00:05:36

He said, Are you not aware that I love Allah and His messenger

00:05:38--> 00:05:41

to which Abu Qatada reply,

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

Allahu

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

Allah and His Messenger know best.

00:05:49--> 00:05:51

Allah and His Messenger known best.

00:05:53--> 00:05:54

As a result of hearing this

00:05:57--> 00:05:59

tears rolled up in my eyes.

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

And I climb back down from the wall.

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

Look at the level

00:06:08--> 00:06:11

of the submission of the Muslims.

00:06:12--> 00:06:19

Look at the level of their submission to the commands of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:06:21--> 00:06:26

They were commanded to boycott these three individuals, not to speak to them.

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

And here was a close friend

00:06:30--> 00:06:31

of kab.

00:06:34--> 00:06:35

He was in his garden.

00:06:37--> 00:06:37

he could.

00:06:39--> 00:06:40

He could have spoken to him.

00:06:43--> 00:06:48

But he remains steadfast. He knows our allies watching him.

00:06:50--> 00:06:54

It's a command of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and I have to obey it.

00:06:58--> 00:07:02

cabra The Allahu and he continues, as I was walking,

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

as I was walking in the streets of Medina

00:07:09--> 00:07:12

as I was walking in the markets one day,

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

and then from Syria had come

00:07:18--> 00:07:20

to trade in Medina.

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

And he asked the people

00:07:25--> 00:07:29

to direct him to Calvin Malik.

00:07:30--> 00:07:32

So they pointed to me

00:07:33--> 00:07:35

and said, There he is.

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

What could this man possibly want?

00:07:40--> 00:07:41

A man from Syria.

00:07:42--> 00:07:44

He came to me.

00:07:45--> 00:07:47

And he gave me a letter.

00:07:49--> 00:07:50

And he said,

00:07:51--> 00:07:53

this is a letter

00:07:54--> 00:07:56

from the king of Hassan.

00:07:59--> 00:08:01

Hassan was a place in Syria

00:08:03--> 00:08:10

that was inhabited by tribes of the Arabs. He says this is a letter from our king.

00:08:11--> 00:08:16

So cabin of the long run, he took it, he opened it. And he read it.

00:08:18--> 00:08:18

He said,

00:08:20--> 00:08:21

it has come to our attention.

00:08:23--> 00:08:29

That your friend meaning Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has treated you harshly.

00:08:32--> 00:08:45

Allah has not made you to be in a place where you are going to be humiliated and where you can't find your right place. So come to us, come to us.

00:08:46--> 00:08:48

And you shall be received graciously.

00:08:51--> 00:08:56

And this is what the enemies of Islam do, do.

00:08:57--> 00:09:09

They look for such opportunities to lure us to tempt us to fall into their trap to join their ranks against the Muslims?

00:09:12--> 00:09:13

And so capital D Allahu

00:09:15--> 00:09:22

capital D Allah who and he was being offered, what we would call today political asylum.

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

But did he take it?

00:09:26--> 00:09:27

He could have taken it.

00:09:29--> 00:09:33

He could have turned to the Muslims and said to them, Look,

00:09:34--> 00:09:36

if you don't change your attitude towards me,

00:09:38--> 00:09:41

then here I have a free ticket to leave you

00:09:43--> 00:09:44

and live a gracious life.

00:09:47--> 00:09:49

But what did capital the Allahu anhu instead?

00:09:51--> 00:10:00

He says, upon reading this letter, I said to myself, this true is a trial. It is a test.

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

For me.

00:10:01--> 00:10:03

And so I threw the letter

00:10:05--> 00:10:06

into a fire and I burned it.

00:10:08--> 00:10:13

What do we learn from this? One of the lessons that we learn from this

00:10:15--> 00:10:18

is a sheet on he has his ways.

00:10:20--> 00:10:26

And he has his challenge channels. He has his ways of access to us.

00:10:28--> 00:10:35

And as long as we leave the door there for him to enter, that he will enter, and we will be tempted.

00:10:36--> 00:10:38

How do we close that door?

00:10:40--> 00:10:41

by burning it.

00:10:42--> 00:10:52

Many of us we recognize our wrong our sins, and we stay away from it for some time. But then we are tempted back to it again.

00:10:53--> 00:10:59

How many of us we watch TV, we see what is wrong. We lower our gaze.

00:11:01--> 00:11:02

And then we continue watching.

00:11:04--> 00:11:07

Why not just cut the wire through the TV out?

00:11:08--> 00:11:18

How many of us we've been tempted to have relations, hold on relations, boyfriends, girlfriends. And we repent.

00:11:20--> 00:11:22

And we say we're gonna end this relationship.

00:11:23--> 00:11:24

But we keep their number

00:11:27--> 00:11:29

one tempts us to call them again,

00:11:30--> 00:11:31

change your number.

00:11:33--> 00:11:35

This is what we learn from capital.

00:11:36--> 00:11:39

He didn't let that letter to stay with him.

00:11:40--> 00:11:53

So that tomorrow, next week, he's tempted to go back to that letter and accept that invitation. Instead, he burned it to forget it completely.

00:11:54--> 00:11:57

Capital Diwan. He continues.

00:11:59--> 00:12:01

When 40 days went by

00:12:03--> 00:12:08

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he sent a messenger to me.

00:12:10--> 00:12:11

What could it possibly be?

00:12:14--> 00:12:16

Could it possibly be good news?

00:12:17--> 00:12:18

Is it over?

00:12:21--> 00:12:25

The Messenger of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam.

00:12:26--> 00:12:28

He came to me and he said

00:12:30--> 00:12:37

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commands you to distance yourself from your wife.

00:12:40--> 00:12:47

Cobb said, should I divorce her? He said no. Just stay away from her Don't come near her.

00:12:48--> 00:13:01

So cam says I went to my wife and I ordered her to go to her parents and stay with them. Until a law decides my fate

00:13:03--> 00:13:09

and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had given the same orders to the other two companions.

00:13:11--> 00:13:12

cab Ravi Allahu and

00:13:16--> 00:13:18

he stayed away from his wife.

00:13:19--> 00:13:22

And he spent the remaining days

00:13:23--> 00:13:24

all by himself.

00:13:26--> 00:13:27

Isolated

00:13:29--> 00:13:30

no one to talk to.

00:13:31--> 00:13:33

No one to see

00:13:34--> 00:13:37

00:14:44--> 00:14:59

It was in this state that I spent 10 more nights and dusts. 50 days and 50 nights had gone by, in which the people had boycotted us and gave up talking to us.

00:15:00--> 00:15:02

Then on the morning of the fifth

00:15:04--> 00:15:10

after I had preached a lot to the federal on the rooftop of one hour or one of our homes,

00:15:12--> 00:15:13

and I was sitting there

00:15:14--> 00:15:20

in the very same description than a lot later on described in the Quran,

00:15:21--> 00:15:25

the earth seem to close in on us.

00:15:26--> 00:15:49

Despite its vastness, as Allah says in Surah Toba what Allah salata, larina holy foo, Hector either Baka Da Li mu ob Morocco that was all Khazali him and Fuso him Well, what no Allah manager Amina La, la, la, and the three the three who had remained behind

00:15:52--> 00:15:54

until there came a time

00:15:55--> 00:15:57

until there came a time

00:15:58--> 00:16:04

when the earth despite its vastness, is seen to close in on them.

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

And their souls were torn in anguish. And they knew there was no refuge from Allah. Except through Allah.

00:16:20--> 00:16:23

What a huge test. What a huge trial

00:16:25--> 00:16:27

50 days and nights

00:16:28--> 00:16:29

isolated.

00:16:32--> 00:16:33

not speaking to anyone.

00:16:35--> 00:16:37

No one allowed to speak to you.

00:16:38--> 00:16:43

If it was one of us to three days, and it would have been over for us.

00:16:44--> 00:16:47

But look at how a lot praises three these three individuals here.

00:16:49--> 00:16:53

They did not give up there hope in Allah subhanahu wa Tada.

00:16:55--> 00:16:57

No matter how dark the days become.

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

Don't give up.

00:17:02--> 00:17:09

Don't give up on Allah subhanho wa Taala, who put you through that test and trial in the first place?

00:17:10--> 00:17:15

Why is it that many people who resort to suicide,

00:17:17--> 00:17:26

taking antidepressants, resorting to alcohol, and all sorts of other things to relieve the distress that they're in?

00:17:28--> 00:17:30

Because of their lack of EMA

00:17:32--> 00:17:46

because of their lack of conviction in Allah subhanho wa Taala cabra Viola who, even though he went through all of this, look at him, sitting, praying Salatu

00:17:48--> 00:17:51

remembering Allah, not giving up

00:17:52--> 00:17:57

on Allah subhana wa Tada. He says, as I was sitting there

00:17:59--> 00:18:02

as I was sitting there on my rooftop,

00:18:03--> 00:18:05

and I had pre scheduled

00:18:07--> 00:18:12

in another narration on selama, the wife of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:18:14--> 00:18:15

She says on that night,

00:18:17--> 00:18:21

Allah had sent down revolution to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:18:23--> 00:18:34

announcing that Allah had accepted the repentance of these three individuals. She said, Yeah, rasulillah Shall I not go and tell the people? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said no,

00:18:35--> 00:18:39

they will be able to sleep this night. So he waited until

00:18:41--> 00:18:50

after Salatin fetcher, he told his companions, capital the Allahu, and he says, after I was sitting there after Salatu residual

00:18:52--> 00:18:54

I suddenly heard a voice

00:18:55--> 00:19:30

from the mountain of Salah in Medina, shouting a person shouting at the top of his lungs. Okay, we've been Malik rejoice, and right away. I knew that this was a relief from Allah. And so right away. I mean, sujood tanking Allah subhanahu wa taala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had informed his companions after Salatin fudger that Allah had accepted our repentance. And so the companions fled.

00:19:33--> 00:19:54

They fled from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to go and give cab the good tidings. And the fastest of them came racing on a horse. And he told cab of the good news. So capital the Allahu he took off his garment, and he gave it to him as a gift for giving him this good news.

00:19:55--> 00:19:59

gab says, By Allah, I had no other clothes.

00:20:00--> 00:20:20

At that time except these. So then I borrowed two garments, I dress myself, and I came to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and on my way, whoever I met, they would give me the good tidings, and they would congratulate me until I reached Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:20:24--> 00:20:27

Look at the sentiments of the companions.

00:20:30--> 00:21:16

Look at their attitude. Yesterday, they weren't speaking to him. Why? Not because they hated him. But because they submitted to the command of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And today, when they're allowed to speak to him, they're rushing to give him the good news, capital the Allahu, and he says, I sat before the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I greeted him. And his face was bearing. It was bearing signs of delight. His face was beaming with delight. And he said, Oh, Caleb, Rejoice, rejoice with the best day that you have ever seen.

00:21:17--> 00:21:26

Since the day that your mother gave birth to you, I said, Yeah. Rasulullah is this from you? Or is it from a lot?

00:21:28--> 00:21:33

Is it your decision? Or is it something that Allah revealed to you?

00:21:34--> 00:21:36

He said, No, it is from Allah.

00:21:38--> 00:22:00

And these are the verses that Allah revealed in Summa to tout that we just receded to metabo Holly him, Leah to boo in law, who Rahim and so Allah accepted their repentance, and allies the acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful.

00:22:01--> 00:22:03

God continues.

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

As I sat before him, I said, You're a pseudo law. I have need a condition on myself. That if a lot accepts my repentance, I will give up all of my wealth in sadhaka for Allah and His Messenger, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Oh crap, no,

00:22:25--> 00:22:31

keep some of it with you, for that is better for you. Then I said, Your Rasulullah

00:22:32--> 00:22:34

Allah has saved me

00:22:35--> 00:22:37

because of my truthfulness.

00:22:39--> 00:22:41

And so from this day on,

00:22:42--> 00:22:48

From this day on, I will only speak the truth, as long as I'm alive.

00:22:50--> 00:22:53

Cow Brody, Allahu Allah says, By Allah.
