Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen,

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

wa salatu wa salamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal

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

mursaleen, Muhammadur Rasulullahi sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi

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

wa sahbihi wa sallam, tasliman katheeran katheera.

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

My brothers and sisters, in the last episode

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

I mentioned Suratul Nasr.

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

Allah says when the help of Allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala comes to you, O Muhammad

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

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and you are victorious,

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

which refers to the conquest of Makkah, and

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

you see that the people are entering Allah

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

subhanahu wa ta'ala's religion in crowds, glorify

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

the praises of your Rabb and ask for

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

his forgiveness.

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

Seek his forgiveness, verily he is the one

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

who accepts repentance and forgives.

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

And I mentioned this to you as one

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

of the ayat and one of the signs

00:01:04 --> 00:01:12

in the Quran, predicting and foretelling the passing

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

away and departure of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

sallam, foretelling the completion of his message and

00:01:19 --> 00:01:24

therefore the fact that he would shortly be

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

leaving this world.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32

Ibn Abbas used to sit with the senior

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

Sahaba in the court of Umar ibn al

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

-Khattab on his invitation.

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

So some of the senior Sahaba asked Sayyidina

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

Umar, why does this young man sit with

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

us when we have sons of his age

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

and they are not invited?

00:01:46 --> 00:01:53

So Umar ibn al-Khattab asked them, mentioned

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

this Surah, Surat al-Nasr.

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

And he said, what do you understand from

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

this Surah?

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

So they gave different answers, and remember these

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

are the Sahaba of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa

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

sallam, these are the people who studied under

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

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

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

So they gave different meanings of this Surah,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

and of course there was nothing wrong in

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

that.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

But when Sayyidina Umar ibn al-Khattab asked

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

Ibn Abbas, he said, I understand from it

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

the death of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

He said, I understand from this that this

00:02:28 --> 00:02:33

Surah is foretelling the departure of Rasulullah sallallahu

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

alaihi wa sallam, because Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

'ala is saying, this mission has been completed,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

you have been given victory.

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

And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

saying, therefore on this day, praise Allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala and seek His forgiveness.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

Also the famous Ayat, which we mentioned in

00:02:52 --> 00:02:56

different contexts earlier, Al-yawma atmaltu lakum deenakum

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

wa atmamtu alaykum ni'mati wa radizu lakum wa

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

islama deena Allah said, this day I have

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

perfected your religion for you, and completed my

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

favour on you, and have chosen for you

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

Islam as your religion.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:17

So this is another Ayah, which also foretells

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

or points to the fact that Rasulullah sallallahu

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

alaihi wa sallam's mission was about to be,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:29

was completed and therefore it was time for

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

his departure.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

And of course this is the Sunnah of

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that when the

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

mission of the Prophet is over, he calls

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

the Prophet to himself and therefore this was

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

the same case with Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa

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

sallam.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

Now for some Ahadith pointing to the passing

00:03:47 --> 00:03:52

away, pointing to the death of Rasulullah sallallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam, he himself said at the

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

beginning of the Khutbah of Hajj, he said

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

learn from me the Manasik of Hajj, for

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

I may not make Hajj after this year.

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

He said learn from me the Manasik, the

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

rituals and so on of Hajj, because after

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

this year I may not be here to

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

do Hajj.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

He said to Mahdi ibn Jabal radhiallahu anhu,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

when he was sending him to Yemen, when

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

you return you may pass by my grave

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

and my Masjid.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

Now when Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says

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

when you may, this may happen, we take

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

it and understand it as this is something

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has inspired

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

him to say and therefore this is a

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

foretelling of a sure event.

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

There is no doubt about this.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

So he says to Mahdi ibn Jabal radhiallahu

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

anhu, when he was sending him to Jabal,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

when you return you may pass by my

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

grave and my Masjid and Mahdi ibn Jabal

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

radhiallahu anhu wept.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

In another place Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

said Jibreel alaihi wa sallam used to recite

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

Quran with me once.

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

This is the Daurah of the Quran where

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

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam would recite and

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

Jibreel alaihi wa sallam would recite.

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

He said Jibreel alaihi wa sallam used to

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

recite Quran with me once, this year he

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

did it twice and affirmed its correctness.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

So the one who brought the Quran himself

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

is affirming to the correctness of how it

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

was preserved in the mind and heart of

00:05:26 --> 00:05:36

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

closer to the last third or something like

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

this.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

And he called Abu Muwayhiba his servant and

00:05:44 --> 00:05:50

he said to him Ya Abu Muwayhiba, I

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

have been commanded to seek forgiveness for the

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

people of Al Baqiya.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

So come with me.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

They went there and Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa

00:05:58 --> 00:06:03

sallam said He said peace be upon you

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

O people of the graves.

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

Congratulations that you do not experience what people

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

here are experiencing.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:15

Trials and tribulations come like dark portions of

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

the night following each other in succession.

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

The last being worse than the first.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:26

Then he looked at Abu Muwayhiba and he

00:06:26 --> 00:06:29

said to him I have been given the

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

choice of the keys of the treasures of

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

the earth and to live in this world

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

as long as the world exists and then

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

Jannah or to meet Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

'ala now and Jannah.

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

Abu Muwayhiba he said choose us Ya Rasulullah

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

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said no I

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

have chosen to meet Allah and Jannah.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

That is now not at the end.

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

Now remember the choice here is not dunya

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

or akhira.

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

For him it is dunya and akhira just

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

the duration.

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

So treasures of the dunya meaning he will

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

be the king, he will be the ruler,

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

he will have any amount of wealth that

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

he wants everything, everything the heart can desire

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

in this life and at the end of

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

that and that life will go on as

00:07:19 --> 00:07:23

long as the earth is there generation after

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

generation, century after century, millennium after millennium until

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

Allah ends the world and then he will

00:07:28 --> 00:07:28

get Jannah.

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

His Jannah has not been compromised for this.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

And the second option was meet Allah now

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

and Jannah and he chose that sallallahu alaihi

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

wa sallam.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

Then he made dua for the forgiveness of

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

the people of Al-Baqiyah and then they

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

left.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

And then he when he reached home his

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

terminal illness began.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

One day soon after that Ayesha Siddiqa had

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

a bad headache.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

And she said she held her head and

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

said oh my head oh my head Ya

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

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said no I

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

should say oh my head because he also

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

had a terrible headache at the time.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

When she complained of her headache more he

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

joked with her and he said actually if

00:08:22 --> 00:08:26

you were to die with this headache it

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

would not be such a bad thing because

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

I would pray for you and attend your

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

funeral.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

She said Ya Rasulullah let someone else have

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

this good fortune because if I die you

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

will still have your other wives to care

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

for you.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

So she used to have this banter with

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

him and she was the only one who

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

had that kind of relationship.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's illness increased.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:52

His headache was in spasms and he also

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

had a severe fever.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

One of the Sahaba responded like Ali Ahmad

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

Bain put his hand on Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

wa sallam and then he quickly snatched his

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

hand away and he said I can't bear

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

to have to keep my hand on your

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

body Ya Rasulullah you have a very severe

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

fever.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said yes we

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

Anbiya get double the suffering of the people.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

He went to visit his wives and was

00:09:20 --> 00:09:25

in Maymunah's quarters when he had another attack

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

of severe pain.

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

So he went from there to Aisha Siddiqa's

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

quarters and asked all of them to come

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

there to attend to him.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

His wives agreed to Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa

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

sallam there.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

His head was wrapped tightly in a cloth

00:09:40 --> 00:09:47

and he was leaning on Ali bin Abi

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

Talib on one side and Ali Abbas on

00:09:51 --> 00:09:56

the other side as he walked and then

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

he lay down.

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

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam wanted to go

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

to the Masjid to talk to the people

00:10:01 --> 00:10:07

and give them his wasiya, give them some

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

advice.

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

So he asked for water from seven different

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

wells of Medina to be brought and poured

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

over him to reduce his fever.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

Then he was helped with Ali bin Abi

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

Talib on one side and one of the

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

sons of Ali Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib on

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

the other side who took him to the

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

Masjid.

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

He had become so weak that he could

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

not walk on his own.

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

He gave a khutbah, he praised Allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala and thanked him and then

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

he asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

forgive the shahada of Al-Urhud.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

This shows his loyalty to his companions and

00:10:45 --> 00:10:48

to those who supported him in his mission.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam literally lived for

00:10:50 --> 00:10:50

his Ummah.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

Continuously, that's all he did.

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

In one hadith he said, as long as

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

I live, as I am alive I am

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

good for you and when I die I

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

am also good for you.

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

This is asking Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

you are alive you understand but when you

00:11:06 --> 00:11:07

die.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

He said, when I am alive I am

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

with you and I make dua for you.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

And when I am dead your information and

00:11:16 --> 00:11:20

your conditions and your halat, the things that

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

are happening to you will be presented to

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

me and I will make dua for you.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:28

So this is the blessing of Rasulullah sallallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

In this khutbah he said, O muhajireen, you

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

are increasing in number while the ansar are

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

not increasing.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

And obviously this was the case because the

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

ansar, there were a fixed number of people

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

in Madinah with attrition, death and so on.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

That number was decreasing but muhajireen, people were

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

coming from everywhere.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:55

So he said, O muhajireen, you are increasing

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

in number while the ansar are not increasing.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

They are the ones who supported me in

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

the beginning so honour the honourable among them

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

and forgive the ones who make mistakes.

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

O people, O men, carry out the expedition

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

under Usama.

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

Your complaint against his leadership is the same

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

as your complaint against the generalship of his

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

father before him.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:23

By Allah, Usama is as fit for generalship

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

as was his father.

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

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam stopped for a

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

while and there was absolute silence.

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

Then he said, O people, there is a

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

slave of Allah who was given the option

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

of this world or what is in the

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

hands of Allah and he chose what is

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

with Allah.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

Now Abu Bakr Siddiq started to weep and

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

people wondered why is he crying, why is

00:12:46 --> 00:12:46

he weeping.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

Three days later they knew why he was

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

weeping.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

Abu Bakr said, O Rasulullah, may our selves

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

and our children be sacrificed for you.

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam stopped him and

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02

he said, the person most faithful to me

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

in his friendship and his wealth is Abu

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

Bakr.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

If I was going to choose anyone other

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

than Allah as a Khalil, it would be

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

Abu Bakr.

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

But I am the Khalil of Allah, Allah

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

has chosen me as his Khalil and Abu

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

Bakr is my friend and my companion in

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

Islam.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

All the doors into the Masjid are to

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

be shut and sealed except the door of

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

Abu Bakr.

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

Then he said, may Allah curse the Jews

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

and Christians for building houses of worship over

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

the graves of their prophets.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

No other religion should exist in the Arabian

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

Peninsula except Islam.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

Take care of your Salah, take care of

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

your slaves, fear Allah in the matter of

00:13:43 --> 00:13:46

your women and send out the army of

00:13:46 --> 00:13:47

Usawa bin Zaid.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:56

So see the different elements of this very

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

very important Wasiyyat because you know the Wasiyyat

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

is something that which is the final words

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

of anybody.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

It is very critical because a person in

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

that time is not going to be talking

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

about all kinds of stories.

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

He is going to be talking about only

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

the things which are the most important, most

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

most important.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:16

So in this what do we see?

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

He said first and foremost, he said after

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

talking about Abu Bakr Siddiq and so on,

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

he said he cursed the people who made

00:14:26 --> 00:14:31

graves of their prophets, objects and places of

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

worship.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

So he prohibited building structures over graves and

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

he prohibited using those graves as objects of

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

worship.

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

Now what is the meaning of object of

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

worship?

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

First and foremost it is object of worship

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

as in somebody going and making a Sajda

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

to a grave and asking the person whose

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

grave it is for favor.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:55

So this is a straightforward open shirk which

00:14:55 --> 00:15:01

is just as serious and reprehensible as open

00:15:01 --> 00:15:02

idolatry.

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

Another way in which this is prohibited and

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

it must not be done and it is

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

also shirk is where people go to the

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

graves and they speak to the, or they

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

try to appear, they pretend to speak to

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

the person in the grave and ask the

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

person to make dua for them to Allah

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

There is no dalil for this in Islam.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

This is complete nonsense.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

This is people who say there are dalils

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

are telling lies.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:32

We know the Quran itself Allah subhanahu wa

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

ta'ala said you cannot make those in

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

their graves to hear.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said those

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

in the graves they are in a different

00:15:40 --> 00:15:40

world.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

They have no connection with this world.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

So if somebody is telling you that this

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

can be done then they are speaking against

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

the ayat of the Quran.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

So please be very careful.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

Don't do any such thing.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53

The only thing that we are permitted to

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

do when you go to the grave of

00:15:54 --> 00:15:58

anyone is to make dua for them.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:00

Not to ask them to make dua for

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

you.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

In the case of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

we send salam on him.

00:16:07 --> 00:16:08

And then again the same thing we make

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

dua for him and we ask Allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala to reward him with the

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

best of the best.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

So this first wasiyat of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

wasallam, the first thing that he warned us

00:16:17 --> 00:16:22

against, the first thing which he very emphatically

00:16:22 --> 00:16:30

and strongly prohibited was grave worship, was qabar

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33

parasti, was to go to graves and to

00:16:33 --> 00:16:36

seek favors and do all the kind of

00:16:36 --> 00:16:37

stuff that we see.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

May Allah forgive us.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

Second thing is he talked about the Arabian

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

Peninsula that this should be kept free from

00:16:45 --> 00:16:46

everything other than Islam.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

Any other religion is not permitted to be

00:16:48 --> 00:16:48

there.

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

Then he said take care of your salah.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:54

Now imagine his last words are take care

00:16:54 --> 00:16:54

of your salah.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

This is how important salah is.

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

Salah is the evidence of our iman.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:03

Salah is la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah in

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

practice.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

Then he said take care of your slaves.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

My slaves here is meant of course those

00:17:08 --> 00:17:09

days they had slaves.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

But it also means anyone under your control.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

It would be your employees, your servants and

00:17:14 --> 00:17:15

so on.

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

This would also extend to extended family.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

So take care of the meaning.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:22

You are responsible for them.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

Anytime you would be questioned about them.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

Then he said specifically take care of your

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

women.

00:17:27 --> 00:17:29

So this refers to all the women in

00:17:29 --> 00:17:32

the families whether it is wives or sisters,

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

mothers, daughters and so on.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:40

Special attention to the women and the men

00:17:40 --> 00:17:43

are being admonished and warned to take care

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

of them.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:50

Usama bin Zaid came to meet Rasulullah s

00:17:50 --> 00:17:51

.a.w. Nabi s.a.w. at that

00:17:51 --> 00:17:55

time couldn't speak because he was so weak.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

But he raised his hands towards the heavens

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

and put them on the shoulders of Usama

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

bin Zaid.

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

So he was making dua for Usama bin

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

Zaid r.a. Rasulullah s.a.w. could

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

not go out to lead salah.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:10

So he ordered that Abu Bakr r.a.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

should be told to lead salah.

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

Now this is one of the many or

00:18:16 --> 00:18:19

rather the most important proof that Rasulullah s

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

.a.w. chose Abu Bakr r.a. as

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

his successor.

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

Because this was the understood and the most

00:18:29 --> 00:18:35

important sign of the imamat, of the leadership

00:18:35 --> 00:18:38

of somebody that this person would be the

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

imam in salah.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

So Nabi s.a.w. chose Abu Bakr

00:18:41 --> 00:18:43

r.a. to be his imam.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:50

He said, Order Abu Bakr to lead the

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

people in salah.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

Aisha r.a. said, I did not want

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

my father to lead salah as I am

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

afraid of controversy.

00:18:58 --> 00:19:00

And she said, Ya Rasulullah s.a.w.

00:19:00 --> 00:19:05

he is a very soft hearted man and

00:19:05 --> 00:19:09

he may be overcome if he stands in

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

your position.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

Rasulullah s.a.w. got irritated when this

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

objection was repeated.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

And he said, order Abu Bakr to lead

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

the people in salah.

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

And then he said, you women are like

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

the women of Yusuf.

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

You know, always quarreling and so on and

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

disagreeing with things.

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

Just do what I am telling you to

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

do.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

Later Sayyida Aisha s.a.w. said, I

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

did not want my father to lead the

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

salah as people may not like him to

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

stand in the place of Abu Bakr r

00:19:38 --> 00:19:42

.a. Abu Bakr r.a. therefore continued to

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

lead salah on the order and command of

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

Rasulullah s.a.w. from the Thursday onwards.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:52

On one occasion, when Bilal r.a. called

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

the Adhan, Abu Bakr r.a. was not

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

present.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

So he asked Sayyidina Umar r.a. to

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

lead salah.

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

Rasulullah s.a.w. heard Sayyidina Umar's voice

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

and he said, Allah and the Mu'mineen do

00:20:05 --> 00:20:09

not wish that the Amir should be anyone

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

other than Abu Bakr.

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

Now Sayyidina Umar r.a. was obviously embarrassed

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

and he said to Bilal r.a., you

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

put me in this spot.

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

Sayyidina Bilal r.a. said, no, as far

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

as I am concerned, I did what is

00:20:22 --> 00:20:25

the understood thing here among all of us,

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

which is that after Rasulullah s.a.w.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

is Abu Bakr and after Abu Bakr is

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

you.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

So therefore when Nabi s.a.w. could

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

not lead salah, he ordered Abu Bakr r

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

.a. and when Sayyidina Abu Bakr r.a.

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

was not there, then Sayyidina Umar.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

But Nabi s.a.w. did not like

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

that in this case and he said, Allah

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

and the believers don't wish that the Amir

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

should be anyone other than Abu Bakr.

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

Meaning after him, Abu Bakr r.a. was

00:20:51 --> 00:20:51

to be the Amir.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

So this is a clear indication that Rasulullah

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

s.a.w. had chosen Abu Bakr r

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

.a. as his successor.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:03

He did not specify it in so many

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

words, in the sense of he did not

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

say, after me Abu Bakr will be the

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

Khalifa or the ruler.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

But all the indicators, including this one, that

00:21:11 --> 00:21:15

Allah and the believers do not wish that

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

the Amir should be anyone other than Abu

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

Bakr, is more than clear.

00:21:19 --> 00:21:23

And so it also happened when the final

00:21:23 --> 00:21:32

discussions were happening about the Khalifas, about who

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33

should be the Khalifa.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

Sayyidina Umar r.a. presented this evidence and

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

he said to the people, which one of

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

you would accept that they should be the

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

Imam and Abu Bakr should be the Mamur.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

So he should be praying behind them.

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

They said, may Allah protect us.

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

This is not possible, Abu Bakr is our

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

leader.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:56

So Sayyidina Umar r.a. said, I am

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

giving my allegiance to Abu Bakr s.a

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

.w. and you also come and do it

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

and this is what happened.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

Fatima r.a. used to visit her father

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

every day.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

He would kiss her and give her his

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

seat.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

She came to visit him and kissed him.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

He whispered into her ear and she started

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

to cry.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:14

She started weeping.

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

Then he called her and he whispered something

00:22:17 --> 00:22:18

else and she smiled.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

Aisha r.a. tried to get her to

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

tell her what Rasulullah s.a.w. had

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

told her but she refused.

00:22:25 --> 00:22:30

After Rasulullah s.a.w. passed away, then

00:22:30 --> 00:22:33

Sayyidina Aisha r.a. continued to ask Sayyidina

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

Fatima r.a. So one day she said

00:22:35 --> 00:22:39

to her, he told me that this was

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

the illness with which he would die and

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

I cried.

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

And then he told me that I was

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

going to be the first person from his

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

household who would join him.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

And so I smiled.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

Fatima r.a. said, oh my father, how

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

much pain you are suffering?

00:22:55 --> 00:22:59

And he replied, after today your father will

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

not suffer any pain.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:05

There were seven dinars in the house of

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

Rasulullah s.a.w. He ordered that they

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

should be given away in charity.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

Now in the course of the illness, all

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

this is happening and Sayyidina Aisha r.a.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

is seeing her husband dying before her eyes.

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

So she forgot.

00:23:19 --> 00:23:22

Rasulullah s.a.w. would lose consciousness and

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

he would regain it.

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

He was going through this phase.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

During one such episode, when he came back

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

to consciousness, he asked, he said, what happened

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

to that money?

00:23:33 --> 00:23:34

Did you give it away in charity?

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

Sayyidina Aisha r.a. said, no, it is

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

still there.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

I will do it.

00:23:38 --> 00:23:39

He asked for it.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

He said, give me the money.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

And she put it in his hand.

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

He held it like this and he said,

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

what a spectacle is this.

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

If Muhammad s.a.w. should meet his

00:23:49 --> 00:23:49

Rabb in this state.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

And so Sayyidina Aisha r.a. immediately gave

00:23:53 --> 00:23:53

the money away.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

This is the standard.

00:23:56 --> 00:24:00

We don't say that, you know, all of

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

us can, we obviously cannot come up to

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

that standard.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

But the thing to understand here is that,

00:24:07 --> 00:24:10

and again it is not haram to have,

00:24:10 --> 00:24:11

to leave behind wealth.

00:24:11 --> 00:24:15

All the inheritance laws of Islam are because

00:24:15 --> 00:24:18

it is permissible to have wealth and to

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

leave it behind.

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

The mention here that is being made is

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

the question of the love of wealth.

00:24:23 --> 00:24:26

So, even for his s.a.w. standard,

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

even to have the money itself was something

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

that he did not wish to do.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

And he wasn't thinking about, what will happen

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

to my family, at least this will buy

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

them three meals.

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

No, as far as he is concerned, his

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41

tawakkul is on Allah s.w.t. Allah

00:24:41 --> 00:24:42

is for me and my family.

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

And whatever wealth I have must be given

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

in the path of Allah s.w.t.

00:24:48 --> 00:24:53

This was Sunday, Sunday night passed away, passed

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

relatively peacefully.

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

Finally on Monday, the Sahaba were in Salat,

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

Salatul Fajr being led by Abu Bakr as

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03

-Siddiq r.a. Rasulullah s.a.w. moved

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

the curtain aside between his house and the

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

Masjid.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:09

Anas bin Malik r.a. said, Rasulullah s

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

.a.w. stood there and watched us and

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

his face was like a full moon.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:18

He then came into the Masjid, leaning on

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

Ali bin Abi Talib r.a. on one

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

side and Father Ibn Al-Abbas, the son

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

of Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib r.a.

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

on the other side.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

People are praying, they are standing.

00:25:31 --> 00:25:32

They were so happy to see him that

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

they almost left Salat.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

Abu Bakr r.a. raised his voice in

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

recitation to indicate that the Salat must go

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

on.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

Rasulullah s.a.w. realized that this commotion

00:25:41 --> 00:25:47

could only mean that Rasulullah s.a.w.

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

was coming, so he started to move back.

00:25:50 --> 00:25:51

But Rasulullah s.a.w. pushed him forward

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

and he said, you leave.

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

And he sat down beside him and finished

00:25:55 --> 00:25:58

his Salat in a sitting position.

00:25:58 --> 00:25:59

So he sat on his left, so Abu

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

Bakr r.a. was on his right.

00:26:03 --> 00:26:08

The Ulema say that because Nabi s.a

00:26:08 --> 00:26:11

.w. was sitting on the left and Abu

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

Bakr r.a. was on his right, this

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

means that Abu Bakr r.a. was following

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

Rasulullah s.a.w. in the Salat because

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

you cannot lead the Nabi in Salat.

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

But Nabi s.a.w.'s indicator for him

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

to move forward and lead shows that he

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

wanted him to lead Salat.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

This was the last thing that Rasulullah s

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

.a.w. saw, that his Ummah is standing

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

together in Salat.

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37

And he was very very happy.

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

This was the indication of the completion of

00:26:41 --> 00:26:45

his mission, Alhamdulillah, and the thing that made

00:26:45 --> 00:26:46

him the happiest.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

After Salat, he spoke to the Jama'at

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

in a clear voice, heard even outside the

00:26:51 --> 00:26:51

Masjid.

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

He said, O men, the fire is ready.

00:26:55 --> 00:26:59

Subversive attacks are advancing like waves of darkness.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:03

By Allah, I will not be held responsible

00:27:03 --> 00:27:04

for anything after this.

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

I never allowed anything but that which the

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

Quran allowed and made legitimate, and I have

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

never forbidden anything but that which the Quran

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

has forbidden.

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

Accept that.

00:27:19 --> 00:27:25

May Allah's curse be on those who make

00:27:25 --> 00:27:31

graves, who take graves for their Masajid, meaning

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

who take graves as places of worship.

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

Imagine, these are the last words.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

He is so particular that this whole issue

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

of grave worship and so on, which amounts

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

to idolatry, must not happen.

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

Now the Muslims were so overjoyed at the

00:27:50 --> 00:27:54

apparent recovery of Rasulullah s.a.w. that

00:27:54 --> 00:28:00

Usama bin Zayed asked permission to leave.

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

He said, we take his battalion, his army

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

and go.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:09

Abu Bakr asked Rasulullah s.a.w., O

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

Rasulullah, it is clear that Allah s.w

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

.t. has granted you His blessing and given

00:28:13 --> 00:28:15

you good health as we all prayed.

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

Then he said, I have promised to visit

00:28:19 --> 00:28:23

the daughter of Kharija, that was his wife,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:25

to spend the day with her.

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

He had two wives, so one used to

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

live outside on the outskirts of Madinah.

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

He said, can I have permission?

00:28:31 --> 00:28:33

Rasulullah s.a.w. agreed and he went

00:28:33 --> 00:28:36

to Sud on the outskirts of Madinah.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

Sayyidina Omar and Sayyidina Ali returned to their

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

businesses and their work and Rasulullah s.a

00:28:41 --> 00:28:44

.w. was in Sayyidina Aisha s.a.w.'s

00:28:44 --> 00:28:45

quarters.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

Abdul Rahman bin Abi Bakr, the brother of

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

Aisha s.a.w. came to see Rasulullah

00:28:51 --> 00:28:53

s.a.w. He had a miswak in

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

his pocket.

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

Aisha s.a.w. noticed Rasulullah s.a

00:28:57 --> 00:29:00

.w. looking at the miswak, so she asked

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

him if he wanted it, he nodded.

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

So she took the miswak and on the

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

other side she chewed it, made it soft

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

and then she put it in the mouth

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

of Rasulullah s.a.w. to clean his

00:29:10 --> 00:29:10

teeth.

00:29:11 --> 00:29:15

Aisha s.a.w. would also recite the

00:29:15 --> 00:29:21

muwayidat, the khul a'udhu bil-faraq and

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

khul a'udhu bil-abbil-nas and blow

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

into the hands of Rasulullah s.a.w.

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

and then pass his hands over his body.

00:29:31 --> 00:29:37

Rasulullah s.a.w.'s condition deteriorated rapidly and

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

he would put his hand into a bowl

00:29:39 --> 00:29:43

of water and he would wipe his face.

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

He would say, al-sakratil mawti bil-haq.

00:29:47 --> 00:29:50

He said the suffering of death is true.

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

The stupor of death is true.

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

Then Aisha s.a.w. says, I saw

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

him looking towards the heavens and saying, balil

00:29:59 --> 00:30:03

-rafiqil-ala, balil-rafiqil-ala, balil-rafiqil-ala.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

She said, so I knew that the angel

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

of death has come and asked his permission

00:30:09 --> 00:30:12

and he chose Allah s.w.t and

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

did not choose us.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

She said, then his head turned towards me

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

and I screamed.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

The news spread all over Medina.

00:30:22 --> 00:30:27

Umar s.a.w. and Mughira s.a

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

.w. rushed into the room.

00:30:29 --> 00:30:31

Syedna Umar said, he is unconscious.

00:30:32 --> 00:30:35

Mughira s.a.w. said, he is dead,

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

he has passed away.

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

Syedna Umar said, you are a man who

00:30:38 --> 00:30:39

wants to create fitna.

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

He will not die until he eliminates the

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

munafiqin.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

Syedna Umar s.a.w. went into the

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

masjid, he drew his sword, pulled out his

00:30:50 --> 00:30:53

sword and he said, people are saying that

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

Rasulullah s.a.w. is dead.

00:30:54 --> 00:30:57

He is not dead but he is unconscious

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

as Musa was unconscious and he will return.

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

If anyone says that he is dead, I

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

will cut off his head with my sword.

00:31:04 --> 00:31:07

So he, you know, big passion on this

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

whole thing.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:12

This news reached Abu Bakr as-Siddiq as

00:31:12 --> 00:31:15

-Rano who was on the outskirts of Medina.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

He rode back in haste.

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

He did not speak to anyone.

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

Went straight into the house of Aisha s

00:31:21 --> 00:31:23

.a.w. where Rasulullah s.a.w.'s body

00:31:23 --> 00:31:24

was.

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

He uncovered the face of Rasulullah s.a

00:31:27 --> 00:31:29

.w. He kissed him on his forehead and

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

he cried and he said, you who are

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

pure in life and you are pure in

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

death.

00:31:35 --> 00:31:38

The death which was ordained for you, you

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

have passed through.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

He then went into the masjid and he

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

saw Syedna Umar s.a.w. shouting at

00:31:44 --> 00:31:46

the people and he said, it's this Syedna

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

Umar s.a.w. He said, sit down

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

Syedna Umar s.a.w. But Syedna Umar

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

s.a.w. ignored him.

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

So he started to speak to the people

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

and they all left Syedna Umar s.a

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

.w. and they came to listen to him.

00:31:55 --> 00:32:09

And he said, He

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

said, whoever worshiped Muhammad s.a.w. meaning

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

they did not do it but he said,

00:32:13 --> 00:32:15

if that is what you were doing, know

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

that Muhammad s.a.w. is dead.

00:32:18 --> 00:32:22

Whoever worshipped Allah, know that Allah never dies.

00:32:23 --> 00:32:45

Then he recited the ayah, He

00:32:45 --> 00:32:48

recited the ayat of Surah Ali-Imran where

00:32:48 --> 00:33:13

Allah s.w.t. said, And

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

Allah s.w.t. will give the reward

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

to those who are grateful.

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

Umar s.a.w. says, is this the

00:33:22 --> 00:33:23

ayah of the Quran?

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

He knew it was the ayah but he

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

said that this was, it was as if

00:33:28 --> 00:33:31

this is the first time that he had

00:33:31 --> 00:33:32

heard it.

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

Then he collapsed.

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

He fell down and he said, my knees

00:33:36 --> 00:33:37

cannot support me anymore.

00:33:38 --> 00:33:41

The narrator said, everyone was reciting this ayah

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

as if it was the first time that

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

they had heard it.

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

Sayyidina Usama r.a. who returned and hung

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

up the flag of his command on the

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

door of Aisha s.a.w.'s house and

00:33:52 --> 00:33:56

ordered the army to return to Madinah until

00:33:56 --> 00:33:58

matters could be settled.

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

We ask Allah s.w.t. We

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

ask Allah s.w.t. to give Rasulullah

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

s.a.w. the best of the best

00:34:27 --> 00:34:29

reward that only Allah can give.

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

We ask Allah s.w.t. to grant

00:34:31 --> 00:34:32

him Maqamul Mahmood.

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

We ask Allah s.w.t. to grant

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

him Shifa'a.

00:34:36 --> 00:34:39

And we ask Allah s.w.t. to

00:34:39 --> 00:34:44

make us those people who Rasulullah s.a

00:34:44 --> 00:34:45

.w. will intercede for on the Day of

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

Judgment.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

We ask Allah s.w.t. to grant

00:34:48 --> 00:34:49

that we meet him on his house, that

00:34:49 --> 00:34:52

we receive the water of Al-Kawthar from

00:34:52 --> 00:34:54

his blessed hand, that we cross the Sirat

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

behind him in the protection of Allah s

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

.w.t., that we are entered into Jannatul

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

Firdaus without Hisab, in the company and behind

00:35:05 --> 00:35:08

Rasulullah s.a.w. that in Jannatul Firdaus

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

that we are granted the company of Rasulullah

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

s.a.w. that we sit at his

00:35:13 --> 00:35:15

feet and we listen to the recitation of

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

the Quran with the voice of Rasulullah s

00:35:18 --> 00:35:19

.a.w. in his voice.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:21

And we ask Allah s.w.t. to

00:35:21 --> 00:35:26

grant us his own Jalla Jalaluhu, his beautiful

00:35:26 --> 00:35:27

countenance.

00:35:28 --> 00:35:29

We ask Allah s.w.t. to give

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

us his own Bidar, his own Ru'ya

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

that we can see him and we ask

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

Allah s.w.t. to make us among

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

those who will be there when Allah will

00:35:37 --> 00:35:41

announce and say from this moment onwards, I

00:35:41 --> 00:35:42

will never be displeased with you.
