Good?

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

I want to begin with a dua for

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52

our brothers and sisters in Florida Who are

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

going through something difficult?

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

A lot of us have family members there

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

And so we ask Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

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

to make it easy for them We ask

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

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala to keep them safe.

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

Ya arham al rahimin.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

Give them your aafia.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

Ya arham al rahimin.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:11

Ameen Bismillah arrahman arrahim Last week, alhamdulillah, we

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

were going after Fatih Mecca and it's truly

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

been a Beautiful experience going through the seerah

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

with everyone and and looking at these beautiful

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

moments from the life of our Habib Muhammad

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

Sallallahu alayhi wasallam Just reflecting on the aspects

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

of his life connecting to him And and

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

knowing these moments from his life.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

Someone texted me earlier today A Friend of

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

mine and he said Shaykh sometimes I'm doing

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

dhikr and I'm doing salah al-nabi or

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

I'm doing istighfar What do I think about

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

and I told him something that I learned

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

from I learned this from Mufti Kamani subhanallah

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

He said he said one time When you're

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

sending salah al-nabi when you're sending prayers

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam Think of

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

your your favorite moment from the life of

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

the Rasul Your favorite moment from the seerah

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

everyone in this room has a different favorite

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

moment They have a different moment.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

That is like their moment like that's my

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they they connect

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

to that in a different way and So

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

when you're sending salah al-nabi and what's

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

amazing is as we're going through this seerah

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

as we're going through his life The idea

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

is to connect to him sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

on a deeper level than you've ever connected

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

to him before by Understanding who he was

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

in the ninth year of hijrah we're only

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

two years away two and a half years

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

away from the death of the Rasul sallallahu

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

alayhi wasallam and In the ninth year of

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

hijrah when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam returns

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

back to Medina Remember the Ansar they were

00:02:41 --> 00:02:41

actually scared.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

Is he gonna actually now come back to

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

Medina now that Fathim I guess happened.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

He's gonna come back and he said I'm

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

with you forever I'm never going to leave

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

you you preferred me at a time when

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

no one wanted to be by me So

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

I'm gonna be by you all the time

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

when everyone wants to be by me.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:00

I'll be with you forever.

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

That's it When Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam

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

got back It didn't let up things weren't

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

just easy it wasn't just like Oh Fathim

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

Mecca happened That's the end of the story

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

things are easy.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

No, there's still struggle and And what happened

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

in the ninth year the biggest thing that

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

happened in the ninth year of hijrah was

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

the battle of Tabuk and The battle of

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

Tabuk it wasn't a battle a battle didn't

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

even happen, but low-key the battle was

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

the battle of the Nafs The battle was

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

the battle of the Nafs Because there was

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

no enemy that we faced Heraclius the the

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

king of the Byzantium Empire They had just

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

defeated the Persians and So they thought they

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

were the strongest and they said well this

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

this power is arising from the Arabian Peninsula

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

we should go and just put it out

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

before it becomes a problem and so they

00:03:52 --> 00:03:56

amassed 100,000 soldiers and when Rasul Allah

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he found out he

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

said that the Sahaba we have to go

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

We have to go and handle this.

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

We can't back down.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

We have to stand up to this But

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

this was unfathomable for Muslims to be dealing

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

I heard I heard a scholar say Just

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

imagine the smallest country you can trying to

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

battle with the United States.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

It's unfathomable.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

It's not it wasn't possible and There's always

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

haters amongst us.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

They saw us moving forward.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

They saw the victories, but they really didn't

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

believe yet And they weren't really down for

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

the cause But they were amongst us they

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

were with us they were called the Munafiqeen

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

they were called the hypocrites and The Prophet

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

sallallahu alayhi wasallam many times Umar was like

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

ya Rasul Allah.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

Can we just like handle them like Yeah,

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

and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said no,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

they're a part of our ummah They're a

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

part of our ummah and if someone openly

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

says la ilaha illallah They're with us Even

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

though their actions were clearly against us So

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

this battle of Tabuk but the Prophet sallallahu

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

alayhi wasallam it was it was a far

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

battle we were gonna have to go to

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

the extent of Syria and So it was

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

gonna be a long journey and on top

00:05:09 --> 00:05:09

of that.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

It was the hottest time of the year

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

was the hottest time of the year and

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

The third thing the third thing actually four

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

things.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

The third thing is that the harvest Medina

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

was a city of agriculture and the biggest

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

Make place of their investment was their farms

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

So it just so happened that when Rasul

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he said it's

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

time to go It was right at the

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

time when it was time to pick the

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

dates off of the the trees You can't

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

leave the dates too long if you leave

00:05:40 --> 00:05:40

them there.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

They're gonna spoil So we have the idea

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

that we're gonna lose everything that we've invested

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

for the whole season.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

That's our wealth So Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

wasallam he says well the Muslim ummah We

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

have to take care of the ummah that

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

comes before everything everyone get ready Now typically

00:05:56 --> 00:06:00

the Rasul sallallahu sallallahu alayhi wasallam Typically, he

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

never told the Sahaba where they were going

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

because there were spies everywhere There were people

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

that would say things so typically the Prophet

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

sallallahu alayhi wasallam would keep it low-key

00:06:08 --> 00:06:12

But this was an exception This he said

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

we're going to Tabuk to fight the Byzantium

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

Empire Everyone get ready So immediately everyone starts

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

get getting ready they get their horse ready

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

they get their armor ready They get their

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

stuff ready.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

You got to make sure everything at home

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

is good.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

They had to get ready for it it

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

wasn't like you just get up and leave

00:06:28 --> 00:06:34

and This became difficult Because we ran out

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

of money really quick in order for us

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

to go we needed money.

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

We needed to have supplies We need to

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

buy goods in order to travel this long

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

journey have food for the whole journey So

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam he does one of

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

the first and biggest fundraisers Where he gathers

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

everyone in the masjid, and he says everyone

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

we have to give for this cause Everyone

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

donate we have to give for this cause

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

So everyone starts to leave because you got

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

to go home, and you know check the

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

bank account come back so everyone starts to

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

leave and The hadith says that the first

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

two people to arrive back at the masjid

00:07:14 --> 00:07:20

Just guess Omar and Abu Bakr first two

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

to arrive back at the masjid Omar and

00:07:21 --> 00:07:25

Abu Bakr and Omar radiyallahu ta'ala and

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

He's he's playing a different game in his

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

head Omar's playing a different game Omar's like

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

Today I have more money than I ever

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

had He said I had two camels.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

He's like I never owned two camels in

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

my life He says I have two camels

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

Wifey is good houses.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

I have money, and I never had money

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

like this before So Omar says okay.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

I see an opportunity Opportunity not for dunya

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

for akhira.

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

He goes today's the day I beat Abu

00:07:56 --> 00:08:00

Bakr Today's the day I beat Abu Bakr,

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

and I want to stop here because all

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

of us need people that we can compete

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

with for khair We're all competing for dunya.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

You got people you competing with dunya keeping

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

up with the Joneses as we call it

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

On the yawn even know what that is

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

The youngins don't even know what keeping up

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

with the Joneses mean look it up Google

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

it Everyone's keeping up everyone's competing in the

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24

dunya, but we need people that we can

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

be like low-key.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

I'm trying to beat Haytham low-key.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

I'm trying to be a man low tree.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:31

I'm trying to I'm trying to beat mufti

00:08:31 --> 00:08:36

kamani right We're striving because when you surround

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

yourself with people like that the result is

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

just good The result is nothing but khair

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

Because of what the struggle is for so

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

Omar he goes if there's a day that

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

I'm gonna beat Abu Bakr today's the day

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

so he goes home and He brings what

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

he can he brings what he can and

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

When he comes there him and Abu Bakr

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

arrive he brings the amount what's amazing is

00:09:04 --> 00:09:05

we don't even know the amount till today

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

He brings the amount and he lays it

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

in front of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

and The moment he lays it the Prophet

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

He says my about a telly ahlik He

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

switches it.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

This is a fundraiser.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

We're trying to get as much money as

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

we can and So we're thinking quantity matters,

00:09:25 --> 00:09:30

but for believers quantity never matters Quantity never

00:09:30 --> 00:09:35

matters Because because the actions aren't counted they're

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

weighed and the weight is a class sincerity

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

The actions aren't counted.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

They don't count your deeds on the Day

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43

of Judgment.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

They're weighed Why because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

wasallam he said people will come and give

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

mountains of sadaqa But it will never equal

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

a handful of wheat that one of my

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

companions gave in sadaqa Why because of the

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

Ikhlas the sincerity that was in that action?

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

So he asked Omer he goes Omer You

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

would expect the Prophet say how much did

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

you bring?

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

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

He switched it.

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

He said what did you leave at home?

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

Man, I wasn't even expecting that question That's

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

not what you were supposed to ask me

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

right now You were supposed to ask me

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

how much I brought Not how much I

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

left Because when I went home, I was

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

competing with Abu Bakr to bring more not

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

leave more or leave less But the Prophet

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

sallallahu alayhi wasallam is teaching us on a

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

whole nother level So min janibillah from Allah,

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

he asked a different question.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

He says how much did you leave back?

00:10:41 --> 00:10:46

Omer's like mithlahu I left equal amount at

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

home You know, I got family to take

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

care of They still have to take care

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

of themselves.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

And I know you taught me to take

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

care of the family See I learned that

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

from you ya Rasulullah I learned that from

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

you.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

You taught me that so I brought half

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

Now before we go forward half of your

00:11:04 --> 00:11:08

assets is no joke That alone we would

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

be like yo subhanallah if the hadith ended

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

there.

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

That's the khutbah But what happens next Abu

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

Bakr comes up and he brings his amount

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

and The question is the same.

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

Okay, you were competing against each other and

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

It's amazing because he maybe didn't even know

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

that Omer said and he didn't know that

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

Omer said in his head I'm gonna beat

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

him today So he asked him the same

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

question because if you're gonna compete I got

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

to ask you the same question Sallallahu alayhi

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

wasallam So, what did he say?

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

He said ya Abu Bakr Time for you

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

to school How much did you leave at

00:11:46 --> 00:11:46

home?

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

He said his words Abu Qaytu lahum allahu

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

wa rasulah.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

I Left Allah and the Rasul at home

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

Now hold up y'all.

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00

He didn't say I didn't leave anything Because

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

that's a mentality That's a perspective.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

He didn't say I left nothing at home

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

in Reality from our perspective.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

What did he leave at home?

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

Nothing, but he didn't say that Because their

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

yaqeen was on a different level and the

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

family's Certainty yaqeen was on a different level.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

So the prophets like what did you leave

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

at home?

00:12:22 --> 00:12:23

He said I left Allah and the Rasul

00:12:24 --> 00:12:27

That's what we've been surviving on from till

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

today My money was never what we lived

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

on So to me, it's amazing.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

He didn't say I left nothing.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

He said I left Allah and the Rasul

00:12:35 --> 00:12:39

at home and in that moment in That

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

moment Omer radhi allahu ta'ala and he

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

said wallahi wallahi.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

I'm never gonna race you again Wallahi, I'm

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

never gonna compete against you again That's not

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

I can't do that.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

You have a maqam.

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

I have a maqam But it's amazing that

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

Allah inspired the Prophet to ask a completely

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

different question The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

is like we need more money.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:04

This is a massive army.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

This is a massive journey.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:09

We need more He says we need camels

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

Abdulrahman bin oaf stands up Hundred camels on

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

me.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

I want someone to do the math.

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

I'm not good at math today a camel

00:13:18 --> 00:13:21

is about four grand So do the math

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

He goes that's easy.

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

I could do that.

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

I Know y'all was thinking like come

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

on shake Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

sallam it's not done what are we gonna

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

do with a hundred camels?

00:13:34 --> 00:13:38

We got 30,000 soldiers going out He

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

goes we need more Uthman radhi allahu ta

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

'ala and he stands up.

00:13:43 --> 00:13:47

He goes a hundred more Rasul sallallahu alayhi

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

wa sallam, but we need more third time.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

He stands up.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

He says a hundred more The Prophet sallallahu

00:13:55 --> 00:13:58

alayhi wa sallam is like hamd Allah We

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

need more Uthman gets up.

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

He goes home and he brings gold in

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

his juba Like like like this he brings

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

gold in his job, but like this and

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

It's so heavy He could barely hold it

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

by the time he gets in front of

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam It falls

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

in front of the Prophet just in his

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

lap It falls in front of it they

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

say it was a thousand dinar a thousand

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

dinar This man gave about a million dollars

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32

y'all He gave about a million dollars

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

in that moment In that moment the Prophet

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said something that we

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

need to reflect on The Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

wa sallam said my daughter even a fan

00:14:41 --> 00:14:45

my Amir about the young Whatever he does

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

after today can't affect him negatively What that

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

means to me is that it only takes

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

one moment in your life to gain Jannah

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

and You don't know when that moment is

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

For many of us we like my god

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

like 35 years of grinding.

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

No, you need one moment that Allah accepts

00:15:02 --> 00:15:06

from you That's all you need so every

00:15:06 --> 00:15:09

single moment You know, they say like opportunity

00:15:09 --> 00:15:12

cost the potential every moment of your life

00:15:12 --> 00:15:17

has Jannah potential every moment There was subhanAllah

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

the story there was a story that the

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us of

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

a woman from a previous generation and And

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

this woman had lived the life of sin

00:15:26 --> 00:15:30

like sin sin She was out there But

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

one day she saw y'all know the

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

hadith she saw a dog that was that

00:15:34 --> 00:15:38

was thirsty and she thought like I Know

00:15:38 --> 00:15:42

what that feels like and so she climbs

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

down into a well and she with her

00:15:44 --> 00:15:47

shoe She with her her shoe She fills

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

it with water and she puts the shoe

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

in her mouth and she climbs back up

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

now mind you This is a woman that's

00:15:53 --> 00:15:58

lived a profligate life a sinful life But

00:15:58 --> 00:16:03

in that moment She gained Jannah in The

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Allah loved

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

that deed so much whatever she did It

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

didn't even matter like past and future doesn't

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

even matter the Prophet So I said about

00:16:12 --> 00:16:13

said about with mine.

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

It doesn't matter what he does after today

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

How many moments do we have in our

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

life where we could be like maybe this

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

is that moment that I gained my Jannah

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

forever Maybe this is that moment right here

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

In another hadith, I'll share with you which

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

always hits me because a lot of us

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

are very loose with our tongue The Prophet

00:16:34 --> 00:16:34

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

He said in the lab laya to kill

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

them will be Kalima Men Rizwan Allah Like

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

a person will say a word that pleases

00:16:43 --> 00:16:46

God La you'll feel I have that and

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

the person doesn't even think about it Doesn't

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

even think about it.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

I wonder if the woman that fed that

00:16:52 --> 00:16:53

dog even remembered that deed.

00:16:56 --> 00:17:00

I That well or was it just like

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

no I need to I need to help

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

someone I need to help one of God's

00:17:04 --> 00:17:07

creation So la you'll feel how bad?

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

You don't even think about it The Prophet

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said yeah, if I'll

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

allow who be had Darajat this person is

00:17:13 --> 00:17:17

elevated ranks ranks ranks ranks into Jannah But

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

the potential is double-sided y'all The

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said but then

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

there's a person that speaks a word that

00:17:23 --> 00:17:27

displeases Allah La you'll feel how bad the

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

person doesn't even think about it doesn't even

00:17:30 --> 00:17:34

think about it and Ends up into the

00:17:34 --> 00:17:35

depths of Jahannam because of that one word

00:17:35 --> 00:17:40

that they said So at this moment Uthman

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

gained his Jannah in this moment and and

00:17:42 --> 00:17:45

after that it was nothing I've got a

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

man been out.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

I Mean he's wealthy I've got a man

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

been oath brings 8,000 dirham silver coins

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

8,000 of them.

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

Do you know what's crazy?

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

I told you there were there were more

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

nasty thing.

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

There were hypocrites.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

They were haters They did not believe that

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

we would should be going out or could

00:18:05 --> 00:18:06

win this battle.

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

They did not believe in the message truly

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

They were with us What do people that

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

don't believe?

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

You know, I use the term I was

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

teaching seerah upstairs Y'all know when you

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

silent quit at a job, yo, and you

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

stop caring about the job Printing all that

00:18:24 --> 00:18:29

printer paper Just leaving the lights on You

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

know when you silent quit you don't even

00:18:31 --> 00:18:35

care about the mission the mission statement Becky

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

and HR.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

I don't care about none of y'all

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

The moon after keen they didn't care about

00:18:40 --> 00:18:41

the mission.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

They didn't believe in it.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

So they low-key silent quit they showed

00:18:45 --> 00:18:49

up But low-key they're like, you know,

00:18:49 --> 00:18:50

I was thinking about quitting, you know They'd

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

be talking to you trying to get you

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

to quit too And you like bro.

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

I love my job, bro I'm happy here.

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

Oh So subhanallah, what would they do?

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

I've got a man been oath.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

He brings 8,000 D now did him

00:19:04 --> 00:19:07

and What do they say when they see

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

him?

00:19:07 --> 00:19:12

They they're Look at him showing off Look

00:19:12 --> 00:19:16

at him showing off There was another companion

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19

by the name of Abu Aqil He heard

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

the Prophet say we need money, but he

00:19:20 --> 00:19:24

was broke He had no money He like

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

like this right here is for everyone that's

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

ever sat through a fundraiser and had nothing

00:19:28 --> 00:19:31

to give Well, lucky we all know what

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

that's like everybody like 3,000 you like

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

Right and you got like 300 But you

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

like I'm gonna fill out the card Cuz

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

I'm not gonna raise my hand for the

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

300 Abu Aqil Abu Aqil is for everyone

00:19:48 --> 00:19:51

that ever felt like the fundraiser was going

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

on and you had nothing to give Abu

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

Aqil here's there and he sees Abu Bakr

00:19:55 --> 00:19:56

come he sees Omar.

00:19:57 --> 00:19:57

He sees Othman.

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

He sees everybody coming So he goes home

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

He works the whole night for somebody on

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

their farm the whole night he works on

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

a farm and They pay him two pounds

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

of dates So he comes to the Prophet

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

salallahu alayhi wa sallam with one pound the

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

Prophet asked him he said tell me your

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

story He said y'all Rasul Allah.

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

I worked all night And I made two

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

pounds.

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

I left one pound for my family and

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

I brought this pound for you for the

00:20:25 --> 00:20:28

Dean The Prophet said put it with everything

00:20:28 --> 00:20:31

else We need all of it But when

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

the Munafiqeen saw that and you're gonna have

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

people in your life like this When the

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

Munafiqeen saw that what did they say their

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

exact words?

00:20:38 --> 00:20:42

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah doesn't need

00:20:42 --> 00:20:46

this man's dates so when Othman gave when

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

Abu Abdur Rahman gave what did they say

00:20:47 --> 00:20:50

look at him showing off and When Abu

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

Aqil gave they said Allah doesn't need that.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:53

Which is it?

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

The idea is people will never be pleased

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

Focus on Allah not focus on people pleasing

00:21:01 --> 00:21:05

people Focus your intention only on Allah subhanahu

00:21:05 --> 00:21:09

wa ta'ala Everyone's trying to go for

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

this battle and get ready We only have

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

a few days to get ready.

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

The Prophet said get ready right now.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:16

Everyone's gathering money.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

Everyone's getting ready There were seven people.

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

They're called the Beqaeen the ones who cried

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

Because they didn't have enough money for themselves

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

to go They didn't have enough for them

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

to go and I want you to understand

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

like this what's happening here the Prophet sallallahu

00:21:33 --> 00:21:34

alayhi wa sallam is about to go out

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

and it's gonna be very difficult and While

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

some people want to go and some people

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

are sacrificing there's others that don't want to

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

go They don't want to go because they

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

don't believe in the mission.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

I told you they silent quit already They

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

don't believe in the mission Before I talk

00:21:50 --> 00:21:51

about the Beqaeen.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

Let me talk about someone else Al-Jad

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

bin Qais Jad bin Qais was one of

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

the Munafiqeen at the time and So the

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam walks up to

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

him while everyone's getting ready and he says

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

Jad you ready?

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

We bout to go.

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

We bout to go.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

He's about to go down.

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

You ready?

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

You getting ready?

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

And he goes ya Rasul Allah.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

I Wanted to talk to you about this

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

now before I go forward.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

You have to understand how beautiful Rasul Allah

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was Everyone felt comfortable

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

talking to him Because he accepted whatever you

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

said But those who were close to him

00:22:25 --> 00:22:28

knew what his heart truly loved But but

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

everyone felt like you could talk to him

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

So as I tell you this story we

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

would think like how dare you say that

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

to Rasul But you have to understand how

00:22:36 --> 00:22:39

approachable Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

How approachable Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:22:42 --> 00:22:45

was So Jad bin Qais, he goes.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:45

Yeah about that.

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

I wanted to talk to you He goes

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

um and the Quran tells us a lot

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

of lot of tinny.

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

I laugh in fitna desuqa to Allah speaks

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

about this person He goes ya Rasul Allah

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

Yeah I I don't think I should go

00:23:04 --> 00:23:04

Huh?

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

Yeah, I don't think it's good for me

00:23:06 --> 00:23:06

to go.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

He goes why he goes.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

There's a lot of youngers I'm in a

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

group today, so he goes um Benny us

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

far.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

You know the Romans They're very attractive people

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

I'm dead.

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

I'm dead serious.

00:23:20 --> 00:23:21

These are his words y'all he goes.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:22

They're very attractive.

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

I might get into fitna if I go

00:23:28 --> 00:23:32

Subhan Allah If you don't want to go

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

don't go, but don't use piety as an

00:23:34 --> 00:23:38

excuse to avoid struggling for the Dean Don't

00:23:38 --> 00:23:42

use righteousness To to refuse to go for

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

the sake of the Dean he goes I'll

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

be he uses the word fitna lots of

00:23:46 --> 00:23:47

tinny.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:48

I'll be in fitna.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

It's better if I stay back Rasul sallallahu

00:23:51 --> 00:23:52

alayhi wa sallam is like yes, it's better

00:23:52 --> 00:23:52

if you stay back.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

That's his nature though He's not gonna force

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

you to come if you're not down.

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

You're not down.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:05

You're dead weight So Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

wa sallam is like yeah, you should stay

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

You should stay and then verses of Quran

00:24:09 --> 00:24:10

were revealed.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

I'll after fitna to suck but to this

00:24:12 --> 00:24:16

man has fallen into fitna What strikes me

00:24:16 --> 00:24:18

is how sometimes we use our piety as

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

an excuse for the Dean?

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

No, if I go to that, you know,

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

it's not this is better for me in

00:24:24 --> 00:24:28

the Dean in the akhira subhan Allah subhan

00:24:28 --> 00:24:32

Allah So once Jed got an excuse all

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

of the Munafiqeen they start coming.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

Um, my mother is really sick Oh, I

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

gotta do this.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

They all start coming one after the next

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

asking y'all Rasul Allah.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

Can I stay back?

00:24:41 --> 00:24:43

Can I stay back and every one of

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

them that would come he would be like

00:24:45 --> 00:24:49

stay stay stay Now with that said let

00:24:49 --> 00:24:53

me explain these seven seven sincere believers Seven

00:24:53 --> 00:24:55

sincere sincere believers.

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

They come to the Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

sallam and they say y'all Rasul Allah

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

we don't have it to go we don't

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

have the money to go and The Prophet

00:25:05 --> 00:25:08

had already distributed everything everything of mine brought

00:25:08 --> 00:25:11

everything of the man brought everything everyone brought

00:25:11 --> 00:25:12

It was distributed already.

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

And so they walk in and here is

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

this person that would literally give you the

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

shirt off his back Literally give you everything

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

that he has and he has to look

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

these seven men in the eyes And he

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

has to say to them and it's in

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

the Quran.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

La-a-ji-doo-ma-ah-mi-lu

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

-kum-a-lay He has to say I

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

don't have it to give you So well,

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

though the Quran says so well, though.

00:25:36 --> 00:25:37

Well, you know home to feel a minute

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

dumb.

00:25:38 --> 00:25:41

They turn around and they're weeping Can you

00:25:41 --> 00:25:44

imagine the dichotomy some people are saying?

00:25:44 --> 00:25:45

I don't want to go because it's fitna

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

and here we have sincere believers weeping because

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

they don't have the means to go and

00:25:49 --> 00:25:54

struggle for the Dean Imagine imagine that one

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

of them One of them two of them

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

were walking out the Masjid and they're weeping

00:25:59 --> 00:25:59

weeping.

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

So one of the Sahaba sees him He's

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

like yo, what's wrong?

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

He's like, I don't have money and he

00:26:04 --> 00:26:07

can't give it to me Two of them

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

one Sahabi goes I got you.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

I got you here.

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

Here's what you need.

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

Here's enough for a horse Go but get

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

this go this you could come with us

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

But not everyone had that One of them

00:26:19 --> 00:26:24

he has nothing so he goes back to

00:26:24 --> 00:26:27

his house and he prays Salah he prays

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

two rakats and his heart is broken because

00:26:29 --> 00:26:32

he can't go with them and He's praying

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

Salah and at the end of the Salah.

00:26:34 --> 00:26:38

He says ya Allah I Give as charity.

00:26:38 --> 00:26:39

I hope we can understand this.

00:26:39 --> 00:26:43

He says Oh Allah I Give as Sadaqah

00:26:44 --> 00:26:47

Every time someone oppressed me every time someone

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

wronged me every time someone did hurt my

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

honor I give that as Sadaqah to the

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

entire Ummah Wait, hold on people are giving

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

Sadaqah of money.

00:26:57 --> 00:27:02

He's giving Sadaqah of Qiyamah currency You know

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

you feel like yo when you get back

00:27:04 --> 00:27:08

bit that's cash on Yom Al-Qiyamah When

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

you get harmed by someone that's cash on

00:27:11 --> 00:27:14

Yom Al-Qiyamah He says I don't have

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

anything in this dunya So here I go.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

Ya Allah Give as charity to the whole

00:27:19 --> 00:27:23

Muslim Ummah whatever wrong has ever been done

00:27:23 --> 00:27:23

to me.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

He goes to sleep He wakes up in

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

the morning comes for Fajr.

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

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says, where's the

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

guy that gave Sadaqah last night?

00:27:32 --> 00:27:36

Every he's thinking literal Sadaqah Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

Wasallam like you Allah has accepted your Sadaqah

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

Allah has accepted your Sadaqah.

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

I don't have anything of this world to

00:27:43 --> 00:27:47

give I'm thinking on the next level Rasulullah

00:27:47 --> 00:27:50

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sets out with 30,000

00:27:50 --> 00:27:55

soldiers Everyone had to go but this was

00:27:55 --> 00:27:55

a different battle.

00:27:55 --> 00:27:57

There was no Diwan there was no register

00:27:57 --> 00:28:00

typically for these battles They kept like records

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

of who went but this was everyone come

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

so there was no register So the Munafiqeen

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

could just lay back stay in the house

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

while everyone's leaving and that's what they did

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

There were about 70 to 80 Munafiqeen who

00:28:11 --> 00:28:15

didn't go The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam they

00:28:15 --> 00:28:22

leave They leave and They make their way

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

They make their way all the way up

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

to Tabuk and as I told you from

00:28:27 --> 00:28:30

the beginning a battle never happened When the

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

Prophet got to Tabuk, he stopped there.

00:28:31 --> 00:28:32

This is where they were supposed to be.

00:28:32 --> 00:28:35

We'll wait here They stayed there for 20

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

days.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

And in the meantime, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:28:37 --> 00:28:40

Wasallam sent a letter to Hiraqal And he

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

sent Dihya al-Kalabi.

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

Dihya al-Kalabi was the very Handsome.

00:28:45 --> 00:28:46

Yeah, everybody remembers him.

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

He was a very handsome Sahabi All right,

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

so he sent him with the letter Hiraqal

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

got the letter Hiraqal in his heart knew

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

this was a Prophet of Allah So he

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

gathers all of his courtiers all of his

00:29:00 --> 00:29:03

generals and he says I have this letter

00:29:03 --> 00:29:05

if This man is who he's supposed to

00:29:05 --> 00:29:05

be.

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

He's gonna he's his kingdom will be on

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

the land.

00:29:08 --> 00:29:15

We're sitting at Jerusalem If he if he's

00:29:15 --> 00:29:16

who he says he is and I think

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

he is why don't we enter into his

00:29:18 --> 00:29:21

D The whole masjid goes crazy.

00:29:21 --> 00:29:24

The whole room goes crazy This happens twice.

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

It's the second time He goes chill chill

00:29:26 --> 00:29:29

chill everyone I was testing you I Was

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

testing you to see if you were true

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

He sends somebody with a letter back But

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

the letter he sends back he tells this

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

person and this person becomes Muslim later the

00:29:39 --> 00:29:42

letter said when you go to him Talk

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

to him, but look for a seal of

00:29:44 --> 00:29:47

Prophethood on his back This man was a

00:29:47 --> 00:29:51

Christian Arab He's talking he comes with the

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

letter he's in front of the Prophet sallallahu

00:29:53 --> 00:29:56

salam, he's doing small talk the Prophets like

00:29:57 --> 00:30:02

come look and the Prophet lowers his Garment,

00:30:02 --> 00:30:05

so his back was showing and he saw

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

the seal of Prophethood right on the back

00:30:06 --> 00:30:09

of the Prophets of Allah He tells us

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

this story because he was the one with

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

the letter and of course he became Muslim

00:30:12 --> 00:30:16

later Hiraqal never sends an army the Prophet

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

sallallahu sallam turns back and begins to head

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

back and While we're on the way back

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

a few things happen the Prophet sallallahu salam

00:30:26 --> 00:30:29

was looking for certain people that didn't show

00:30:29 --> 00:30:35

up and We get back and When we

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

get back the Prophet sallallahu salam his Sunnah

00:30:37 --> 00:30:38

he would go straight to the masjid when

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

he got back This is a beautiful Sunnah

00:30:40 --> 00:30:41

by the way whenever he would come back

00:30:41 --> 00:30:42

from a journey.

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

He wouldn't go home first He would go

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

straight to the masjid.

00:30:45 --> 00:30:48

He would pray two rakah and He would

00:30:48 --> 00:30:49

sit there for a moment, and then he

00:30:49 --> 00:30:53

would go home So so as they're coming

00:30:53 --> 00:30:58

back into Medina All of the children come

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

out to welcome the army Now I'm a

00:31:01 --> 00:31:03

this is a spoiler here.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:06

I hate to say it So some of

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

y'all heard y'all know this talal,

00:31:08 --> 00:31:09

but they're all a name in than he

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

had to do with that, right?

00:31:11 --> 00:31:12

Y'all know that joint right someone want

00:31:12 --> 00:31:13

to sing it for us.

00:31:13 --> 00:31:14

No, okay?

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

Talal, but they're all a now we all

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

know that when is that typically when do

00:31:19 --> 00:31:20

y'all know that was said in the

00:31:20 --> 00:31:21

seerah when?

00:31:21 --> 00:31:21

Did that happen?

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

Hijra right now most likely it happened at

00:31:25 --> 00:31:28

Tabuk When they were coming back and the

00:31:28 --> 00:31:31

reason why real quick factual stuff when the

00:31:31 --> 00:31:34

Prophet was doing hijra Mecca is south of

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

Medina, so when he did hijra he came

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

to the north and entered Mecca from the

00:31:38 --> 00:31:41

south Then he after the wada is in

00:31:41 --> 00:31:43

the north of Medina So the scholars they

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

say that the children came out to welcome

00:31:46 --> 00:31:48

the army and they started to sing talal,

00:31:48 --> 00:31:49

but do I Lena?

00:31:50 --> 00:31:51

mean than he had to do with that

00:31:51 --> 00:31:53

because they were coming down from the north

00:31:53 --> 00:31:56

and Entering into into into Medina, and so

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

they're all welcoming the Prophet.

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

Everyone is happy they're coming back in and

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

the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam sits down

00:32:02 --> 00:32:07

into the Masjid and now what happens all

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

of those people that did not come They

00:32:11 --> 00:32:15

all start coming and asking for forgiveness All

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

of them one by one y'all Rasul

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

Allah.

00:32:18 --> 00:32:18

I'm sorry.

00:32:18 --> 00:32:20

I couldn't make it Ask Allah to forgive

00:32:20 --> 00:32:21

me the prophets.

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

He had one phrase may Allah forgive you

00:32:23 --> 00:32:26

Barak Allah may Allah forgive you Go ahead

00:32:26 --> 00:32:29

may Allah forgive you go ahead But there

00:32:29 --> 00:32:32

were some people who were sincere Muslims, and

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

they struggle what what me and you struggle

00:32:34 --> 00:32:38

with today procrastination and This is where the

00:32:38 --> 00:32:42

story of Cobb and Malik comes in Cobb

00:32:42 --> 00:32:46

and Malik This is a sincere believer, and

00:32:47 --> 00:32:49

I'm gonna spend the rest of halakha talking

00:32:49 --> 00:32:50

about him because it's such a powerful story

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54

Cobb and Malik He's a og.

00:32:54 --> 00:32:57

He was at butter He was everywhere where

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

you were supposed to be he was at

00:32:59 --> 00:33:03

every major moment and He says these are

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

his words.

00:33:03 --> 00:33:06

He's telling us this story He says that

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

I had been in every battle that I

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

was supposed to I never stayed back from

00:33:10 --> 00:33:15

a battle and I had never been more

00:33:15 --> 00:33:16

wealthy than I was at the time that

00:33:16 --> 00:33:19

he told us to get ready He said

00:33:19 --> 00:33:20

I never owned two camels.

00:33:21 --> 00:33:24

I had two camels at the time He

00:33:24 --> 00:33:25

says the prophets I sent him he never

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

went on a journey except He told us

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

we were going another way, but we went

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

a different way, but this journey He told

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

us exactly where we were going He says

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

but this was hard because it was extremely

00:33:35 --> 00:33:41

hot extremely hot Shadid and The journey was

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

far Meaning if you don't believe in this

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

journey this message.

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

You're not gonna put yourself through this hardship

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

You're not gonna grind for the Dean if

00:33:49 --> 00:33:51

you don't truly believe in it So it

00:33:51 --> 00:33:54

was hot the journey was far and the

00:33:54 --> 00:33:59

enemy was massive The enemy was massive and

00:33:59 --> 00:34:01

he says on top of that it was

00:34:01 --> 00:34:05

time to pick all of the Dates off

00:34:05 --> 00:34:07

the tree And that's the time to enjoy

00:34:07 --> 00:34:09

reap what you sowed.

00:34:09 --> 00:34:12

It's the time to literally Enjoy the farming

00:34:12 --> 00:34:16

that you did all year he says The

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

prophets of Allah said I'm told everyone to

00:34:18 --> 00:34:20

get ready and he told him where we

00:34:20 --> 00:34:24

were going there were Thousands of people getting

00:34:24 --> 00:34:27

ready, but there was no registered and the

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

names weren't taken because there were too many

00:34:28 --> 00:34:32

of us he says Because there were so

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

many anyone who wanted to hide they could

00:34:34 --> 00:34:38

hide and no one would know But this

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

was during the time when things were ripe

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

it was it was it wasn't the time

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

no one That didn't believe would have went

00:34:43 --> 00:34:45

the prophets.

00:34:45 --> 00:34:47

I said I'm started getting ready and all

00:34:47 --> 00:34:50

the believers started getting ready He says every

00:34:50 --> 00:34:51

morning.

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

I would start to get ready I would

00:34:53 --> 00:34:54

say to myself in the morning today.

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

I'm gonna get my stuff ready but that

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

by the time I got home in the

00:34:59 --> 00:35:01

evening, I would not have done any preparation

00:35:01 --> 00:35:07

to go and I would say tomorrow Tomorrow,

00:35:07 --> 00:35:11

I'll do it tomorrow He says but I'll

00:35:11 --> 00:35:12

cool the enough see I would say to

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

myself and a card that I could do

00:35:14 --> 00:35:19

it He says I kept on delaying Until

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

I woke up one morning and they were

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

like the prophets I said him and everyone

00:35:23 --> 00:35:26

just left Now this is an army of

00:35:26 --> 00:35:29

30,000 people it moves slow So the

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

army left and he says I wasn't ready

00:35:33 --> 00:35:36

but I have a fast horse I can

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

get ready in like half a day and

00:35:38 --> 00:35:40

I'll catch up to them So I said

00:35:40 --> 00:35:42

to myself, I'll get ready and I'll leave

00:35:42 --> 00:35:43

and I'll catch up to them.

00:35:43 --> 00:35:44

I'll be right behind them.

00:35:44 --> 00:35:47

I'll catch them It's easy they're a huge

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

army, I'm by myself Well, I'm I'm too.

00:35:50 --> 00:35:53

I was like I was gonna go And

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

he says but I didn't leave and he

00:35:55 --> 00:35:56

says I wish I had left in that

00:35:56 --> 00:35:57

moment.

00:35:57 --> 00:35:58

I wish I had left.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

I Want to pause here to tell you

00:36:01 --> 00:36:05

about another companion Abu Khaitham a real quick

00:36:05 --> 00:36:06

digression.

00:36:06 --> 00:36:07

Abu Khaitham.

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

I had said to himself.

00:36:08 --> 00:36:11

I'm not going I Can't this is too

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

hot.

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

It's too far.

00:36:13 --> 00:36:14

I could lay low-key.

00:36:14 --> 00:36:19

I'm not gonna struggle The prophets I said

00:36:19 --> 00:36:19

I'm left.

00:36:19 --> 00:36:23

He's walking into his orchard and His wife

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

had cooked amazing food.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:28

The trees were giving shade I mean just

00:36:28 --> 00:36:30

picture the scene if you ever seen a

00:36:30 --> 00:36:34

orchard in Medina It's like 30 degrees lower

00:36:34 --> 00:36:35

than it is outside the orchard.

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

There was cool water.

00:36:37 --> 00:36:40

He sees everything He gets to the doorframe

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

of his orchard and he stops and looks

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

at it And he goes, oh my god

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

How dare I walk in here and the

00:36:48 --> 00:36:49

Prophet is in the heat?

00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

He doesn't move.

00:36:50 --> 00:36:52

He says wifey get my stuff ready.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:52

I gotta go.

00:36:53 --> 00:36:56

I Gotta leave right now and he leaves

00:36:56 --> 00:36:57

he gets on his horse and he just

00:36:57 --> 00:37:00

goes after they had already went far So

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

they see this lone rider coming in the

00:37:03 --> 00:37:05

in the in the sarab like in the

00:37:05 --> 00:37:07

desert lines of the heat They see someone

00:37:07 --> 00:37:10

coming from a distance the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:37:10 --> 00:37:14

wa sallam says kun abu haytham From a

00:37:14 --> 00:37:14

mile away.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:15

They see this small figure coming.

00:37:16 --> 00:37:17

They're like, who's that?

00:37:17 --> 00:37:20

The Prophet says kun abu haytham You should

00:37:20 --> 00:37:22

that's gonna be abu haytham abu haytham Ah,

00:37:23 --> 00:37:25

and they get close and it's him and

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

he says ya rasool Allah.

00:37:26 --> 00:37:26

Forgive me.

00:37:27 --> 00:37:28

Forgive me the prophets like good thing you

00:37:28 --> 00:37:31

came Good thing you came because this was

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

the this you got to understand hardships are

00:37:33 --> 00:37:36

what distinguish the real from the fake That's

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

why I said this battle wasn't a battle

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

against the enemy it was a battle against

00:37:38 --> 00:37:41

the enemy of the self you truly believe

00:37:42 --> 00:37:43

So he says I wish I left in

00:37:43 --> 00:37:48

that moment he says So he says but

00:37:48 --> 00:37:48

I'm up there.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:49

I didn't do it.

00:37:49 --> 00:37:50

I didn't do it.

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

I just kept procrastinating.

00:37:51 --> 00:37:53

I didn't do it He says I would

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

go out into the streets of Medina.

00:37:55 --> 00:37:57

Just imagine the streets 30,000 of the

00:37:57 --> 00:37:59

men have left imagine what the streets are

00:37:59 --> 00:38:03

like now and I would see people Only

00:38:03 --> 00:38:05

people I saw were people I knew were

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

moon ethics I knew they didn't truly believe

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

and that's all I would see around and

00:38:10 --> 00:38:11

he's thinking why am I still here or

00:38:13 --> 00:38:15

People that Allah had the Rasool sallallahu alayhi

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

wasallam had given them an excuse they were

00:38:16 --> 00:38:18

older they were weaker they were this or

00:38:18 --> 00:38:23

that and he says I Would found out

00:38:23 --> 00:38:26

later that when the Prophet reached Tabuk, he

00:38:26 --> 00:38:27

looked around 30,000 people.

00:38:27 --> 00:38:28

He looked around.

00:38:28 --> 00:38:31

He says where's Kaaba One thing that's so

00:38:31 --> 00:38:34

beautiful about the Rasool sallallahu alayhi wasallam and

00:38:34 --> 00:38:36

wallahi It's a quality that you should beg

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

Allah to give you he would miss people

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

when they were absent He would miss people

00:38:41 --> 00:38:44

when they were absent He would think he

00:38:44 --> 00:38:46

would wear such-and-such what you were

00:38:46 --> 00:38:50

always in his mind sallallahu alayhi wasallam he

00:38:50 --> 00:38:53

says I Heard that the Prophet was on

00:38:53 --> 00:38:54

his way back.

00:38:54 --> 00:38:56

So I said what's the point of me

00:38:56 --> 00:38:56

leaving now?

00:38:56 --> 00:38:57

He's on his way back.

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

I Procrastinated I procrastinate now.

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

He's on his way back.

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

What should I do?

00:39:02 --> 00:39:05

so he's like I was worried and I

00:39:05 --> 00:39:07

he said I was a good speaker though,

00:39:07 --> 00:39:09

and he said I could make excuses so

00:39:09 --> 00:39:12

easy But at the vector will Kevin I

00:39:12 --> 00:39:13

came up with all these lies.

00:39:13 --> 00:39:16

I could say And he said I'll call

00:39:16 --> 00:39:17

you be my uncle.

00:39:17 --> 00:39:17

Do you mean Sakata?

00:39:17 --> 00:39:18

He got then?

00:39:18 --> 00:39:20

How could I make him not angry with

00:39:20 --> 00:39:20

me?

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

and He says I saw help from my

00:39:24 --> 00:39:24

family.

00:39:24 --> 00:39:25

What should I say?

00:39:26 --> 00:39:31

Finally they said he's back he's back and

00:39:31 --> 00:39:33

He said I had to go see him

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

Well, I left to any lamp approach men

00:39:35 --> 00:39:37

who up and be shaytan minute fee.

00:39:37 --> 00:39:38

He kid He says I know I couldn't

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

lie to him.

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

So I made up my mind.

00:39:41 --> 00:39:44

I'm gonna just speak the truth Prophet sallallahu

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

alayhi wasallam came back.

00:39:45 --> 00:39:47

He came to the masjid He prayed to

00:39:47 --> 00:39:49

her car and he sat down and all

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

of those who had excuses came the Arabs

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

They say the excuse is worse than the

00:39:53 --> 00:39:56

first wrong you did Give me excuses.

00:39:57 --> 00:39:58

The excuse is worse than the first wrong

00:39:58 --> 00:40:03

you did Allahu Akbar so what does he

00:40:03 --> 00:40:07

do all of them start coming and They

00:40:07 --> 00:40:08

would come and they would say ya Rasul

00:40:08 --> 00:40:08

Allah.

00:40:08 --> 00:40:11

Forgive us and the Prophet would say yeah

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

fear Allah who look may Allah forgive you

00:40:14 --> 00:40:17

He says finally it was my turn He

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

says I came close Lisa.

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

Listen to these words to Bessama to Bessama

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

He smiled but it was a smile of

00:40:24 --> 00:40:25

anger at me.

00:40:25 --> 00:40:26

I'll never forget it.

00:40:26 --> 00:40:29

He smiled but he was angry Because I

00:40:29 --> 00:40:31

expect that from them but from you.

00:40:32 --> 00:40:35

I Expect that from them, but you Your

00:41:56 --> 00:41:56

He gave an order.

00:41:57 --> 00:41:59

Oh Before that Cobb says I left the

00:41:59 --> 00:42:01

masjid in all of my family.

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

They start surrounding me.

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

What did he say?

00:42:02 --> 00:42:03

What did you say?

00:42:03 --> 00:42:03

What did he say?

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

And he said I told him the truth.

00:42:05 --> 00:42:11

They said no No Go back Make an

00:42:11 --> 00:42:12

excuse just go back.

00:42:12 --> 00:42:15

He'll forgive you just go back and he

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

said they kept on me the peer pressure

00:42:17 --> 00:42:20

subhanAllah you make a decision for Allah and

00:42:20 --> 00:42:23

unfortunately, sometimes the closest people to you aren't

00:42:23 --> 00:42:25

giving you the best advice and So they're

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

like no just go back and make up

00:42:27 --> 00:42:27

excuse.

00:42:27 --> 00:42:29

He'll accept any excuse.

00:42:29 --> 00:42:31

That's how he was You know subhanAllah.

00:42:31 --> 00:42:33

I put this in my second book cool

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

who are all done They used to call

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

him the Munafiqeen.

00:42:36 --> 00:42:37

They used to call him a oven.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:38

You know, what?

00:42:38 --> 00:42:42

Arabic an ear they said cool who are

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

all done.

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

He's all done.

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

Why because he would listen to people so

00:42:46 --> 00:42:49

much He would listen to you Even when

00:42:49 --> 00:42:53

you're just saying anything So they said just

00:42:53 --> 00:42:56

go back and tell him anything He stopped

00:42:57 --> 00:42:59

He said is there anyone going through what

00:42:59 --> 00:43:00

I'm going through?

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

Like is there any other person that told

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

the truth?

00:43:03 --> 00:43:06

They said yeah, there's two other people There's

00:43:06 --> 00:43:10

two other people he lad and No, no

00:43:10 --> 00:43:14

mora mora This cab mora and he let

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

he says he lad and mora.

00:43:16 --> 00:43:17

He goes.

00:43:17 --> 00:43:19

Oh Those are buddhies.

00:43:20 --> 00:43:21

Those are good people.

00:43:21 --> 00:43:22

They told the truth too.

00:43:23 --> 00:43:26

I'm sticking on what I said Moments later

00:43:26 --> 00:43:28

the word is given the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:43:28 --> 00:43:30

wasallam says for 40 days.

00:43:30 --> 00:43:35

No one speak to them 40 days One

00:43:35 --> 00:43:36

of my teachers he used to narrate this

00:43:36 --> 00:43:39

he said we couldn't handle this today We

00:43:39 --> 00:43:41

wouldn't went straight up to Heraclius like yo

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

Like no one can speak to you for

00:43:45 --> 00:43:46

40 days.

00:43:46 --> 00:43:50

That's it He says top says he says

00:43:50 --> 00:43:51

when I have a little size in a

00:43:51 --> 00:43:54

Muslim mean and calamina no one could speak

00:43:54 --> 00:43:56

to us for the next 50 days and

00:43:57 --> 00:44:00

He says the two others that were there.

00:44:00 --> 00:44:01

They were old they sat in their house.

00:44:01 --> 00:44:02

They would just cry He was like I

00:44:02 --> 00:44:05

was young though So I would walk around

00:44:05 --> 00:44:07

and I would walk around and people would

00:44:07 --> 00:44:10

just literally walk past me Because of what

00:44:10 --> 00:44:13

I did I I was treacherous to the

00:44:13 --> 00:44:16

believers when we were going to battle I

00:44:16 --> 00:44:18

let the Prophet go through heat by himself

00:44:18 --> 00:44:19

while I sat at home.

00:44:21 --> 00:44:24

I Stayed back When I should have gone

00:44:24 --> 00:44:27

out They would just walk past me and

00:44:28 --> 00:44:30

He says block that's alaya up.

00:44:30 --> 00:44:33

The earth just became so small the earth

00:44:33 --> 00:44:38

became so small around me He says I

00:44:38 --> 00:44:39

would give Salam because he would test people

00:44:39 --> 00:44:43

so now I take him No, Salam, they

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

wouldn't say Salam back to me.

00:44:44 --> 00:44:46

He said I would still go to Salah

00:44:46 --> 00:44:48

I Would go to Salah because I could

00:44:48 --> 00:44:51

see the Prophet and maybe like revelations gonna

00:44:51 --> 00:44:54

come and we'll be good And he said

00:44:54 --> 00:44:55

I would see the Prophet's eyes of them

00:44:55 --> 00:44:58

praying and while he was praying I would

00:44:58 --> 00:45:02

look at him you know, I mean, he's

00:45:02 --> 00:45:03

like I would just look at him and

00:45:05 --> 00:45:08

Then when he would finish praying He wouldn't

00:45:08 --> 00:45:09

look at me.

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

But then when I started praying he would

00:45:11 --> 00:45:15

just look at me like I love you

00:45:16 --> 00:45:17

But this has training you got to get

00:45:17 --> 00:45:20

cleaned You got to get clean.

00:45:20 --> 00:45:20

This is wrong.

00:45:20 --> 00:45:25

What you did is wrong He says After

00:45:25 --> 00:45:27

40 days, no, he goes I was feeling

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

Alone, there was no one that would talk

00:45:30 --> 00:45:30

to me.

00:45:31 --> 00:45:32

And this is kind of like the peak

00:45:32 --> 00:45:35

of it He goes I went on to

00:45:35 --> 00:45:37

a garden wall of my cousin Abu Qatada

00:45:38 --> 00:45:39

That was my cousin.

00:45:39 --> 00:45:43

We were literally cousins and I loved him.

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

We were so tight before this day.

00:45:46 --> 00:45:50

I said Salam alaikum cuz For wallah, he

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

might read the alias Salam, he didn't say

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

Salam, so I said them y'all about

00:45:54 --> 00:45:54

Qatada.

00:45:56 --> 00:45:57

I Swear by Allah.

00:45:57 --> 00:45:58

Don't you know that?

00:45:58 --> 00:45:58

I love Allah.

00:45:58 --> 00:45:59

I love the Rasul.

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

That's his concern Don't you know?

00:46:02 --> 00:46:03

I love Allah.

00:46:03 --> 00:46:05

I love the Rasul He stayed quiet.

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

I said it again.

00:46:07 --> 00:46:09

I said swear by Allah, you know, I

00:46:09 --> 00:46:09

love Allah.

00:46:09 --> 00:46:12

I love the Rasul All he said not

00:46:12 --> 00:46:15

even looking at me allahu wa rasoolahu alam

00:46:16 --> 00:46:21

Allah and the Rasul know best He said

00:46:21 --> 00:46:22

I broke down.

00:46:22 --> 00:46:22

I cried.

00:46:22 --> 00:46:26

I cried I wept I wept He's like

I sat in front of him.

00:53:47 --> 00:53:50

I said, yeah, Rasool Allah Part of my

00:53:50 --> 00:53:52

Toba is that I give all of my

00:53:52 --> 00:53:56

money in charity The Prophet Sallallahu Salam said

00:53:56 --> 00:54:00

keep your money Keep your money.

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

We don't want that to happen right now.

00:54:02 --> 00:54:05

Keep all your money He goes no just

00:54:05 --> 00:54:06

part of what I got from this battle.

00:54:06 --> 00:54:08

I'll give that and the Prophet accepted it

00:54:09 --> 00:54:11

the Prophet Sallallahu Salam accepted it and then

00:54:11 --> 00:54:14

he says ya Rasool Allah and This is

00:54:14 --> 00:54:16

what we need to understand for us and

00:54:16 --> 00:54:19

will conclude he said in the law I

00:54:19 --> 00:54:22

in the man that Johnny be slidding Allah

00:54:22 --> 00:54:27

saved me because I spoke the truth We're

00:54:27 --> 00:54:29

in them in Toba tea and part of

00:54:29 --> 00:54:32

my Toba is That I will never ever

00:54:32 --> 00:54:34

speak anything but the truth from this moment

00:54:34 --> 00:54:38

in my life He goes wallahi, I don't

00:54:38 --> 00:54:40

know anyone that was tried the way I

00:54:40 --> 00:54:44

was tried for speaking the truth The car

00:54:44 --> 00:54:45

to the Alacala Rasool Allah.

00:54:46 --> 00:54:47

I mentioned this to Rasool Allah.

00:54:47 --> 00:54:51

So I said he says wallahi After that

00:54:51 --> 00:54:53

day, alhamdulillah till today.

00:54:53 --> 00:54:56

I've never ever spoken a lot He says

00:54:56 --> 00:54:58

it was the truth that Allah protected me

00:54:58 --> 00:55:01

with This battle of taboo brothers and sisters

00:55:01 --> 00:55:03

was a battle in which we faced no

00:55:03 --> 00:55:06

enemy But we learned that the biggest enemy

00:55:06 --> 00:55:11

and truly is our Own us our desire

00:55:11 --> 00:55:14

for ease our desire for comfort Our desire

00:55:14 --> 00:55:16

to avoid struggle for the sake of Allah.

00:55:16 --> 00:55:18

That is our biggest jihad.

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

That is the biggest thing we have to

00:55:19 --> 00:55:22

fight and That is the lesson that we

00:55:22 --> 00:55:25

learned from here It is in this battle

00:55:25 --> 00:55:27

when the Prophet sallallahu salam was coming back

00:55:27 --> 00:55:31

and he said Rajona in the jihad al

00:55:31 --> 00:55:34

-asghar ila jihad al-akbar We have left

00:55:34 --> 00:55:36

the smaller jihad and we're going to the

00:55:36 --> 00:55:39

bigger jihad the Sahaba say ya Rasool Allah

00:55:39 --> 00:55:40

What's bigger than this?

00:55:40 --> 00:55:42

He said that you had with you and

00:55:42 --> 00:55:45

your nafs May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala give

00:55:45 --> 00:55:46

us tawfiq.

00:55:46 --> 00:55:48

May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala allow us to

00:55:48 --> 00:55:51

be people of truthfulness May Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:55:51 --> 00:55:53

'ala allow us to be a people who

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

vie with other people for doing good deeds

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

and righteous deeds Subhanak Allahuma wabi hamdik nashhadu

00:55:59 --> 00:56:02

al la ilaha illa anta nastaqfirukum wa atubu

00:56:02 --> 00:56:06

ilayk subhana rabbika rabbil izzati amma yasifoon wa

00:56:06 --> 00:56:09
