00:00:00 --> 00:00:00
			The prophet
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			said there were 3 people from the children
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			of Israel.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			1 with a skin disease, the other person
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			was bald headed, and the third one was
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			blind.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			Allah wanted to test them whether they would
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			be grateful or not, just like how they
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			are now being tested with hardship.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			So Allah sent them an angel in the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			shape of a human being. That angel first
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			went to the one with the skin disease,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			and he asked him, what would you wish
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			for? The man replied,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			beautiful and healthy skin is what he wishes
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			for. The people really looked down upon me.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			So then the angel touched that man with
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			the skin disease and the disease went away
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			by the will of Allah.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			And he was blessed not just with a
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			regular skin, no he looked beautiful fresh clear
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			and clean.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Then the angel asked him what kind of
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			property do you like the most? The man
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			replied, camels.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			So the angel gave him a pregnant camel.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			So more than just even one camel, Allahu
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			Akbar.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			And the angel prayed, oh, Allah bless this
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			man's wealth. Next, that angel went to the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			second man, the bald headed.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			So he asked him, what would you wish
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			for? That man said, I wish for beautiful
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			and healthy hair. Then the angel touched that
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			man and the man ended up having healthy
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			and beautiful hair. Then the angel asked him,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			what kind of property do you like the
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			most? The man replied, cows. I love cows.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			So the angel gave him a pregnant cow,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			and he made dua to Allah. Oh, Allah,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			bless this man's wealth.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			Lastly, the angel went to the 3rd man,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			the one who was blind, and he asked
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			him, what would you wish for? The man
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			replied,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			I wish for Allah
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			to return back my sight and be able
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			to see the people. Then the angel touched
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			that man and by the will of Allah,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			his sight came back and he was able
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			to see. So the angel asked him, what
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			kind of property do you like the most?
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			He replied, sheep. I love sheep. So the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			angel gave him a pregnant chief, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			And he prayed, oh Allah, bless this man's
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			wealth.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			After some time, that first camel delivered the
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			baby,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			the cow, and the sheep, and they start
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			to grow in numbers
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			so much so the prophet
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			remember to say
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			He said that the wealth of all these
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			three people grew so much each one filled
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			the valley. And
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			now
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			Allah will test them with ease
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			just like how he tested them with hardship.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			Bismillah.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Allah sends an angel
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			in the shape focus on this point. Allah
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			sends the angel in the shape of what
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			the people used to look like. So the
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			angel came to the first one whether the
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			skin disease remember? The angel came with a
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			skin disease
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			and he was poor And he goes to
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			that person who's now rich with all these
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			camels and has beautiful skin and all that
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			got good stuff. So he told him, I'm
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			a poor man who's saying this the angel.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			I have lost all of my means of
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			survival while I was traveling.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			No one can help me today except Allah
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			and then you. I ask you by Allah
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			o brother the one who gave you such
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:14
			beautiful color and beautiful skin beautiful property, all
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			that wealth. Give me just one camel. Remember
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			the man has a valley of camels now.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			He said give me one camel
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			just so I can reach my destination.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			The man replied,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			I have many obligations.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			Mashallah, he's a big shot now. I have
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			many obligations so I can't give you anything.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			The angel in the image of a poor
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			man said,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			I think I know you.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			Didn't you have a skin disease back in
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			the day and you were poor
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			and people looked down upon you? Is that
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			not you? The man
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			replied, no. No. I got all this property
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			through inheritance and from my forefathers. I was
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			always rich and my father was always well
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			off.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			The poor man said to him, had you
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			been lying? Then may Allah return you to
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			how you were before,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			Then the angel left.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			The angel left and he went to the
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			second guy. Remember the one who was bald
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			headed and poor, the angel went in that
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			shape and that form bald headed and very
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			poor and he told him
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			I'm a very poor man.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			I have lost all of my means of
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			survival while on my journey.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			No one can help me today except Allah
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			and then you. I ask by Allah the
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			one who gave you such beautiful hair,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			The one who gave you so much money
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			and so many cows.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			Give me one cow, just a cow, just
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			so I can reach my destination.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			The man replied,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			I have, many obligations. I I can't give
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			you anything today.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			The angel in the image of a poor
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			man said, I think I know you. You
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			look familiar.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			Were you not the bald headed man and
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			you were so poor and you were not
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			very comfortable with the way you look? The
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			man replied, no. No. That's, not me. I
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			got all this property through inheritance and from
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			my forefathers.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			Basically, I was never poor. I was always,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			comfortable like that. The poor man said, the
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			angel, had you been lying?
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			Then may Allah return you to how you
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			were before.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Then the angel left and went to the
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			last guy, the one who used to be
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			blind, remember? The one who asked for sheep?
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			That man,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			he now received the angel in the shape
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			of a man who is very poor, and
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			he went to him and he said the
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			same thing as 12. He said to him
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			I'm a poor man, I have lost all
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			my means of survival while I was on
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			my journey. No one in the world can
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			help me today except Allah and then you.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			I ask goodbye Allah, the one who has
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			returned back your sight to give me one
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			of your property. Give me just one sheep
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			so I can go and reach my destination.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			Check the following response.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			The man replied, true.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			You're right.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			I was blind,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			and Allah has returned back my sight. And
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			I was poor, and Allah gave me all
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			this wealth. You know what? Don't just take
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			one sheep, basically.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			Take whatever you want, however you want, as
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			many as you want for my property,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			I will not stop you. Allahu Akbar. May
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			Allah make us generous and grateful, You Arab.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			The angel said to him, keep your property.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			What?
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			Does he not want one sheep? No.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			Keep your property.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			You and the other 2 men were tested.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			This form of me asking you for money
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			was a test from Allah. And by the
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			way, you and I may face something like
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			that. Allah may send people in our way
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			as a test to see.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			So then the angel tells that man who
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			was blind and now he can see,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			Allah is pleased with you brothers and sisters.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			That's the greatest reward Allah can ever give
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			someone. For the pleasure of Allah to be
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			given to someone, may Allah grant you and
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			I that reward. May Allah be pleased with
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:44
			us.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			Allah is pleased with you
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			and Allah is very angry upon the other
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			2. Brothers and sisters, may Allah make you
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			and I of those who are grateful to
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:54
			Allah's blessings.
