			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Jemaine.
What?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			Today inshallah we're going to be live with a very interesting
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			person very interesting personality.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:27
			This is one of a tabulation. So I broke the pattern we spoke about three imams so far, everyone is
expecting us to talk about Imam Ahmed have been handled right?
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:35
			The I was gonna talk about him, I'll be honest, I was gonna talk about Imam has been handled. And I
love to talk about this man a lot.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:44
			But because I have to leave by nine, I have a long drive ahead of me. So I have to by nine and a
half to leave here.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:01:20
			So to talk about mm hmm in 40 minutes would do him injustice, a big injustice. So I said no, I'm not
mad, we have to talk about him for two hours, at least for two hours. So I'm gonna keep inshallah
for another another day. Now since the time is going to change. Next week, the halaqaat will be
still after Russia. Russia will be an eight helical be after Russia. But the week after that means
in two weeks from now, and two weeks from now, the halaqa will be after another IP will be after
another because I think MATLAB around that time would be
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:43
			7731 7730 so it's good to pray Maghrib and then start our Hello class with the help of we will be
between mother and Asia. inshallah hutan so the the Tabori that we are dealing with today is a very
interesting figure read a very interesting person. One of the most knowledgeable but not known very
much his his name is common but people know don't know much about him.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:59
			And he has there is something that stands out as you study his life that he hated. Or he really
struggled a lot with a what Alex call fatigue will also color have been
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:27
			our version of 1314 of will or logical 13 and Arabic means someone who is like literally speaking
heavy blooded. What does that mean? Their presence is so heavy. These people are so dumb. They ask
very like stupid questions. They ask about the obvious. Okay, so they give you a hard time when they
are present. They give you a hard time like you don't want to be in their presence. So that's the
tale
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			of will in Egypt. What do you call them?
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			The era tell them
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			yeah, like heavy blooded right? Like his brothers so thick.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			Okay.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:14
			So this Imam really had like a very special dislike to these kind of people but he struggled with
them a lot. And we will see like he developed a way to answer these people's questions. He developed
a way to answer these people's questions. So we're dealing today with the Tabby Eagle deal under a
shabby and a shabby an immuno Shura hail a shabby is good actually to present these you know these
figures in our history, because
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:36
			although his name might be common, but we don't know much about him. Most of us don't know much
about me. I'm an adventurer, I hate a shabby, and it's good if you don't know about him that you get
to know about these tabibian about the merits and about the good traits and the good practices that
they had because there is a lot to learn from from their lives and from their their experience.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:04:28
			So I'm an emotional I hail a shabby and is Kenya is Abu Abu Ammar al Kufa is from Kufa so it's Kenya
is Abu Ammar al Kofi Abu Hamza al Kofi Rahim Allah hota he was actually one of the more most
prolific mahad within scholars of Hadith and so he narrated a hadith from 50 companions so among the
companions, he has 50 teachers from whom he narrated a hadith. Among them is Abdullah ignore Omar
Abdullah abas some of the greatest companions so he learned from a monk from Abu hurayrah as well he
narrated from Abu hurayrah so he narrated from the prominent scholars among the companions of the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, a very special thing about Amazon assura here during his lifetime he was
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:41
			born by the way during the khilafah of Mr. Malhotra. He was born six years almost six years after
America became califa. That makes him that makes it What year? What year did Mr. hapa become the
halifa?
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			What year
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:53
			the professor solem passed away the year 11 after his run the year 11. After his job the professor
then passed away. Then the Khalifa became who
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu How long did they
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			last for almost two years.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:31
			almost two years. So what year America became the believer 13 year 13 after hijra, how long did the
collapse of Rome kebab last for? These are quizzes yeah questions 10 years excellent 10 years among
hottub was the halifa from year 13 to year 23 who became the Khalif after on hapa as a fan How long
did he live to stay and be halifa for how long
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			10 no
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			for no
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			not even close
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			not create
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:58
			let's work it out let's work so you don't forget it you don't forget it. So we're talking about year
23 when Bob was martyred was killed by Abu Anima juicy okay that's the time I'm hot tub was killed
23 after Hey, Joe.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			Now, the whole affair
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:16
			the whole affair for rightly qualified washer Don't fall for the for rightly guided caliphs, the
last of the reign of the caliphate which is the death of an even thought it was the year 40
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			is why the 44 zero is why the prophets of Salaam says Allah, Allah for Rashida
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			badly anyway, it is not.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:35
			So the laugh of algebra we thought it ended 40 that's the end of the colorful Rashida 14
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:43
			so I'm not gonna hop up Alibaba was Khalifa for five years, five years, and even
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			so then it makes the khilafah man How long?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			12 years 12 years. Okay, you guys are good at mathematics.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:43
			From 23 to 35 was the life of man around the Allahu anhu in it, you know, we thought it for five
years. So a shabby was born around the year. What 19 around year 19. He was born in a Kufa he was
born in a cafe his father was an Arab, but his mother was from a Sebby. His mother was a concubine.
But obviously, in Islam when a concubines slave of war, right, so she comes from a Persian origin, a
purchase a purchase Persian, she was one of the concubines when the Muslims obviously took over
Iraq. And what's known today was called Asan, Mahara. And that was known as Iran today. And all
these areas. So the people who fought against the Muslims, okay.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:05
			The Captives there, the women were taken as concubines, as happens everywhere. So, but in Islam on a
concubine, becomes a mother, she's freed, she's freed she becomes free she becomes a mother becomes
a wife. So his mother, so he comes from his mother comes from SMB, from SMB, so his mother is
Persian.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:27
			Okay, so amoruso shall be very interesting personality. And amongst the most learned, the very
interesting thing about him is even in the presence in his life, there was a lot of companions, a
lot of companions. Yet, even in the presence of companions, people used to come to me for fatwa
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			even in the life of the companions.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:53
			For Ghana, you stuffed was Sahaba to Mata Kathy Rona matawa. So when there are so many companions
around still defect why used to come back to an administrator I hate a Chevy This is how I learned
how educated and well versed in knowledge he was. That's amor ignition, I will see why he occupied
such a high position in knowledge.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:07
			Something very interesting about him that shows his actually his how bright this man was, how
knowledgeable he is what he was. He was very close to the whole affair. So mainly
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:15
			when he became prominent, he became well known. That was the healer, fellow Maria, the Umayyad
Caliphate.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:30
			So specifically, the healer of Abdul Malik bin Marwan he was very close with the medic Meanwhile,
one, and he wasn't away from the palace. So this color, the stab at this Maha death was not away
from the palace.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:43
			It was connected to the government who was close to the government. So he was very close to the
extent that Abdul Malik bin Marwan sent him as a messenger as a deputy as an ambassador
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			to
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			the Byzantine emperor, Emperor Emperor.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			He sent him to what was called Astana Istanbul, where the Byzantine Empire capital was there.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			We sent him to the emperor of the Byzantines as an ambassador to speak with him and negotiate about
certain things.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			So when he went and he met the Emperor,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:32
			they had a discussion and they spoke, and the Emperor was impressed with the AMA international
rahila shabby, very impressed with his intelligence, his sharpness, his present mind, his ability to
respond, his vast knowledge, his intelligence, everything he admired that guy.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			Then, after, you know, they had these discussions and
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:50
			probably some kind of agreements. Usually there would be the, the Emperor would write to the Calif,
a letter and it would be obviously sealed, so the messenger doesn't see it.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:11:02
			So the letter was handed, or the files were handed to either a shabby, and in order to carry a
ticket back to Abdullah melachim. Number one, the Umayyad Caliph, Caliph.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:31
			So when I arrived back in Damascus, and he handed over the key tab, or the letter from the Emperor,
to the Calif, he read it, so there was so many things in it. And then the Caliph read something
there. When he finished when he was done, he turns to me and he says, Do you know what this Emperor
wanted? What he had what he intended,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:38
			which says no, obviously he didn't look into it. He's not supposed to look into the letter. And it
was sealed.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			He said he wanted me to kill you.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			He wanted me to kill you guess how
		
00:11:46 --> 00:12:01
			the Emperor wrote in the letter to the Caliph. He said, I am puzzled and amazed how a people who
have a person like your ambassador and they don't make him their king.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:15
			I'm amazed. I'm puzzled how there are people in there in the right minds, who have a person so
intelligent and so exceptional like this messenger. And they don't make him their leader.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			So the Caliph understood he said he wanted me to kill you.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			So this is how impressive
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:40
			remember shabby was and we will see how his good presentation and how his good character and his
diplomatic skills are actually going to save his life. Just like with the mammoth chef, he will save
his life.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:11
			So let's take a physical description of an Imam Shafi mama shabby, was very thin, very skinny, thin
and skinny, who will he was little physically, he wasn't a big figure. So that's the amount of
shabby his beard towards obviously, past the middle of his life, his beard was made he would use
henna to diet. So it was read most of the time it was that orangey you know color which comes with
the hen
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:28
			and he was a person with a very good sense of humor. He had a very strong sense of humor and we will
see with his fatawa and he that was his strategy to deal with thick blooded people. That was his
strategy.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:40
			Remember, zuri, the famous scholar he says Kalima, Missouri Allah ma ba, ba ba ba say who say Phil
Medina
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			where Mr. shabby. Phil Kufa
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			We're at hassanal bursary Phil vasara
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:18
			wama coefficient. He says the scholars of our time are four remembers during Ramadan he says
something like this that's one of the main one of the Imams of a tabula and he says the scholars of
our time are for he says in Medina sorry, who say you say it in the masjid in Kufa amor shabby. The
person we're talking about today in Albus Allah, Allah has an anniversary and in a sham mccole
Makati Xiaomi
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:42
			is also an understatement from a mobile Sharma. So one of the tablet in his well he says Ghana all
muddled will have bad fees and man here upsetness. During his time alone, Bob was the master of
people. He was the head of all people in terms of knowledge in terms of influence, America was
number one.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:54
			What can I bet that who even knew at best so when America passed away the main person specifically
for knowledge, the main reference was about what we allow and
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			what can be the who shall be you and after that
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:28
			Bass bass passed away. The reference for knowledge in the Muslim Ummah became ama shabby, and
shabby. So you can see we're talking about a very weighty figure a very important figure in our
history. And it's a pity that we don't know much about him. We don't know much about him. He's one
of one of the main scholars among the targeting. What about the who soufiane authority after Mr.
shabby, the authority in terms of knowledge was handed down to sufian authority.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:35
			And Abby Becker, alhuda recall ali-mohammadi no seriya
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			either the hulten qu Fattah fasttech. Theremin D shall be
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:47
			for in the huka another use was Hubble was Hubble Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			so this is two from among the tambourine
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:35
			Mohammed ministry Syrian famous they're very The one who was was exceptional in interpretations of
the dreams. Mohammed Muna, Syrian by he wasn't only in dreams, he was a scholar. However serene was
a scholar Rahim Allah. So he says to one of his prominent students, Abubakar who Delhi, he says to
him, if you go to Cova, then get as much as possible from the get as much Hadeeth as possible from
amercia be learn as much as possible from him. Why? Because he used to give fat one he used to teach
and people used to ask him, even when the companions of the Prophet SAW Selim were present. This is
how prominent and strong in knowledge he was.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:54
			So Mr. shabby, as we said, was a very quick person very sharp, and he had a strong sense of humor.
But he was extremely intelligent. He says, listen to his intelligence and why he became so excellent
in knowledge, he says, markets a bit too. So they're a fee, but your ba Isla Yomi had?
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:04
			Well, I had definitely I had to be had eaten in half, you have to go back to Anuradha Who? Allah.
Yeah. He says,
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:10
			never in my life. Never in my life, have I written anything.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:16
			I've never written I've never took taking notes. I've never taken notes in my life
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			until our present day.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:41
			And I've never had any statements or anything from any person, except that I memorized it
straightaway, without any need for him to say it again to me to repeat it. What does that mean? If
he heard something, he read something, he registered it, memorized it completely.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:52
			That's how sharp and strong his memory was. So you read something, you told him a story, you told
them about something about a piece of information, you told him about Hadeeth.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:28
			straightaway, he would memorize it as it is. This is very powerful memory. And we said previously,
this was very common among the Arabs. But now obviously, with modern lifestyles, a lot of modern
lifestyle, a lot of distractions, a lot of commitments here and there. You know, most people lost
them, and we Imam Shafi, we said was exceptionally good at this as well. Remember, Chef Ray, by the
way, had something, it was like a ruler, it was like a piece of wood, that when he read, when he
read something, he would actually, you know, put the ruler under the line
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:36
			in order to cover the rest of the page. Why? Because if he if his eye catches something, it would
memorize it.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:19:02
			So his strong memory became more of a burden. And he would sometimes as well, like he was reading a
book, obviously, you know, a book has obviously two sides, right like this. So he's flicking through
the book, that's how it is. So he would put his piece of wood on that side. Why? Because he, as he's
reading this, he doesn't want his eyes to carry on on the other side. So memorizes or links this
line to the line on the opposite page.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:14
			That's the kind of memory we're talking about. So Ammar Shelby himolla had this kind of memory. He
said, I've never taken locks. Once I had something I memorized it, it's registered.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:22
			And this kind of memory, by the way, is very powerful. And we said among the Arabs was very common.
So someone would hear
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:50
			poets and poetry, sometimes 100 lines of poetry. He would hear that poetry for the first time. That
said they would memorize it. They would memorize it for the first time, and they would repeat it
altogether. And know the famous story from one of the caliphs who actually had the ability to
memorize poetry lines of poetry. As soon as he heard them from the first time, he would memorize
them, they would register. So
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:59
			we actually made a challenge to everyone, all the poets around he said,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:17
			If any poet comes with a piece of poetry that I don't already know, I'm going to give them a gift.
And the gift would be, you know, whatever they've written it on, they bring it weighed up against
gold, and I will give them the same weight in gold.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:27
			So poets would be working on beautiful poetry, and they would bring it to him. And they would start
saying it, and he could memorize it upon hearing at once.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:37
			So he, as the poet, as soon as the poet finishes reciting their poetry, I say, the caliphal say, Oh,
I know this already.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:21:11
			And they probably say, How do you know this? I just wrote it last night. Like, I've just invented
it, I made it. So how can you know it? He would say, Well, I know it already. I can prove it. And I
can recite it to you all complete 100 lines are recited to you now. And he would actually recite it
complete, without any mistake. That wasn't the whole trick. He had a servant who could memorize any
poetry at any length, upon hearing it twice.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:24
			So when the poet has recited his poetry, and then the Caliph said, I know it already, and then he
recites it to prove it. Now the servant has memorized it two times.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:44
			I'm not even the only one who knows it. I have a servant who knows it. Come here, come here. The
seven would be hiding somewhere. Come on, bring him bring him. So he comes. You know this poetry? He
says, Yeah, I know it. Can you say it to him? And he would recite the whole? I'll see you there.
Right. So the man would be like, out of his mind. Come on, man. I just wrote this. He said, that's
not the only thing.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			I have a girl servants.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			I have a maid
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:19
			and she knows it. Why? Because she memorizes any poetry upon hearing it three times. And now it's
been recited three times. She said Go Go and get that made go and get it. She's actually hiding
behind. So they bring her and she recites the whole same poetry but guys completely loses his mind
that that's impossible. So until I lost my amendment awesome, I owe him a whole lot very
intelligence and a mastering the Arabic language, ma'am as my
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			amendment. That's why by the way.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			Okay, I'll mention that later.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:33
			Remember, mine was a big one, a big one. And when he came, he dressed up like a Bedouin,
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			like in bed one. And he had locks, hair locks.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:48
			The bed ones there. They had hair locks. So his locks would be resting on his shoulders and his
chest, coming from underneath his ama.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:23:02
			And by the way, this was common among the Arabs, even until like 50 years ago. Like even talking
about my country headwinds. They had general they had locks. So
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:42
			So he came, and he actually had written some poetry and the poetry was very confusing, very
confusing. He starts with something like so to saphir is bully bully ah Appleby family. The whole
poem, you know, poem is not such a big one. It's probably 15 lines. But it will blow your mind away,
because all of it is like, pumped up tabali. Well, when things like this a lot of repetition, and
small syllables and things like that, so it's very confusing to when the Caliph listened to it the
first time he got confused, he couldn't memorize it. Because last night, I realized what the trick
was.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:24:07
			So he said, I'm going to teach him a lesson. So he brought it. The Caliph listened to it. He said,
he tried, but he couldn't figure it out. Then he thought maybe maybe the servant could actually
figure it out. He checked. No. The made no, now he's stuck. He said, I have to give him you know,
the gold right? He said, okay, bring the piece of writing. What is it? Did you did you? Do you have
it written? He said, Yes.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:18
			He said, What is it? He said, it's there. I have some camels that are carrying it. So what said
Yeah, because I've been spending some time carving it in stone.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:25
			So it's a huge piece of marble. Yeah. And you need to get like 20 people to come and bring in.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:46
			Yeah, okay. So that's about memory. So remember, Chevy was something like this. He would hear
something straightaway committed to memory. No questions from the first time. So he says one of his
statements Massa Metro language, Rena centerton, our jhulan you had this will be Hadeeth in illa
amobee him in
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:56
			August. And he says, In the last 20 years of my life, and the last one two years of my life. I've
never heard a man
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			relating ahaadeeth from the prophet SAW center.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:15
			Talking about Hadeeth from a statement from a tradition from the Prophet sallallahu sallam, except
that I know this hadith more than he does. So that means no one around him could bring something new
to Imam shabby.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:26
			So in the last one two years, I haven't heard anyone talking about a Hadith, or teaching a hadith or
relating a hadith except that I know it more than that person.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:33
			woollacott danesi to mineral in me, mallow. Have you ever heard of Raja Luna? Can I be here?
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:42
			And he said, the knowledge that I have forgotten in my life, if someone were to learn it, he would
become a scholar.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:26:03
			So repeat it. That's an Arabic expression, by the way. That's an Arabic expression. And the ones who
say this this kind of style in a sham, we call them, Iran, or should be in Egypt, they call them
volpaia. Hmm.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:10
			It's kind of like how they can pick your brain. Basically, they say, you know,
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:29
			what you're going to learn in your life from the one have forgotten it already. That's what they're
saying, basically, okay. What you are about to learn in the next 50 years in your life, I've
forgotten that already. So don't mess with me. That's what it means. So now, imagine shabby is
saying,
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:39
			I have the knowledge that I have forgotten because obviously the obviously we're speaking at an old
age. So the knowledge that I've forgotten in my life.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:45
			If someone were to learn this knowledge, he would become a scholar.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:54
			He would become a scholar, that means I have learned so much, and I've forgotten so much. And what I
know is more than what I've forgotten.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			Okay, so that's basically what are you seeing?
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:03
			One of the tabin as well, Mr. Mitchell as he says, Mama a 241 esta homina shabby
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:18
			model a 240. And I haven't seen a person of knowledge 40 a scholar who has more understanding or a
deeper understanding than a man a shabby, remember, shabby talks about himself and he says, My
Allawi, she called me an usher.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:28
			He says basically, the thing, the weakest, I'm the weak. I'm like my weak mice. My weakness is
poetry.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:57
			My weakness is poetry. So I haven't invested much time that in poetry, so that's my weakest point
poetry. My are we shaken up alumina share Willow shape to the uninsured to come shahana or a
debater? He says the least that I know is poetry. And if I want to if I wanted to, I could from now,
for 30 days, keep reciting poetry to you never repeating one line.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:04
			That's his weakness. You're talking about his weakness. What about his strengths? So you can see him
I'm shabby.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:13
			Had a special way of expressing himself a special way of expressing himself. And that shows a little
bit his sense of humor.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:21
			That would not be hidden behind majilis to add an element minister by chef Mina, shabby,
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:58
			another one from a tablet. And he says I haven't set with a person who has more knowledge than the
man has shown me. Despite all of this madness, shabby would not venture to get fit what people would
ask him and he would not answer. And one of the common statements on his tongue was always that, I
don't know. I don't know. And he's the first one known to have made this thing because we don't know
the originator of the statement. But he's probably the oldest one that's known about who have said
the statement. Landry useful in saying, I don't know this is half of knowledge, because you know
your value.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:16
			And you know what not to say? Because knowledge is not knowing what to say. But knowing what not to
say as well. Knowledge is not knowing how to answer and what to answer. But it's also another half
of knowledge is knowing what not to answer. And when not to answer.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:59
			So a man asks Brahim and Nephi, one of the main the kebab with the rain. He asks him about
something. Mm hmm. He says, I don't know. Really. I don't know the answer. But they were so they
were chatting for a while. Then amateur shabby passes by. So Abraham and it says ask Ron ask that
man. Simon shabby, so the guy chases I'm a shabby, asked him. And he then brought him in. He said
when you asked him, come and inform me about his answer I want to know. So the guy comes back to
bite him in the head and he says I asked him and he said he doesn't know. So blaming, he said, There
Lika who will help him he said
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:10
			Knowledge. This is knowledge. Now I have my personal assessment of this incident, I think. And by
the way, the scholars, you have to read through what the scholars say.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:16
			Oftentimes the scholars would say to someone, I don't know because they say they see the person
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			is not able to handle that answer.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:31
			So they know the true answer might be a fit enough for this person might be a bit now for this
person. And anyone who spends time with these colors, you will notice this often.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:39
			And that's taken from the statement of Vlogmas wrote, probably Allah who had
		
00:30:41 --> 00:31:00
			met and had the fullness of the microphone actually done and you can who are a pseudo similar
statement from Alibaba polyp, probably a low annual man who had decent comb and had eaten lots of
blue in LA can Alibaba him. fitna says, speak to people something or tell people something they can
comprehend.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:22
			Do you want people to disbelieve in what Allah and His Messenger brought? Or the other statement is,
if you tell people something that's above their heads, that's difficult for them to understand and
grasp, okay. So they are not at a level to be able to relate to it, then you are causing them fitna,
you are putting them in a test in a trial.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:39
			So that means not everyone should be answered. Not everyone should be answered, even if you know the
answer. So sometimes the scholars really they don't know. Or maybe they feel they don't have a good
assessment of the situation, or they don't have all the details that are relevant. So they would not
give a fatwa.
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:50
			Or they find that the person is actually might misuse that fatwa, or might not be mature enough to
handle this photo, so there would not give it to him.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:57
			And this is very common among the companions, Abdullah Omar, there are so many like incidents where
he actually did something like this
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:01
			today,
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:22
			and you don't have to ask, people will start giving you a fatwa shooting Fatah watch you right? And
like this happens often as well. Someone comes in asked you a question, and you really are not
comfortable asked answering the question. You're not comfortable with the answer, you're not sure of
the answer. And the person gets frustrated. Why you are a man then who's gonna answer my question.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:42
			So panela, what if you went to the Imam Malik, as we said, Remember, previously, a man comes to him
from a Muslim from Morocco. from Morocco comes the man medic, and he has so many questions. You
know, they he's carried from people. And out of 40 questions in my medical answers for 36? He says,
I don't know. I don't know the answer.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:51
			The guy says, I came to you from Morocco. He told me I don't know. Why should I tell people you
should just tell them? I don't know. It's as simple as that.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:33:06
			So this, the companions only allow, someone would ask for a fatwa. Don't ask me to ask that. That
person, as that person, and that would go around, and come back to the same person.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:44
			And if even like, that's the problem that we the way we handle knowledge today, we think knowledge
is mathematics. No, no, no, the scholars have wisdom, they know when to talk, they know when not to
talk, they know what to say they know not what not to say all of this is very important. Obviously,
it is why sometimes there are difficult times you find the scholars say nothing. When we say why are
the scholars silent, they know what they are doing. If they are scholars, if you believe that they
have knowledge, and you want that knowledge from them, at least trust that they have knowledge how
to handle this very situation, and how to deal with this very question. So they are silent. They
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:49
			know what they're doing. So leave it for them, even for them and trust, trust.
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:55
			So knowledge is not taken in that mathematical way. No, ma'am.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:05
			Shelby, as I said, it was very close to the caliphs. And he was very close to the head judge, very
close, that had judge for coffee.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:38
			And coffee used to hold him in high esteem and respect him. And if he walked in, they would give him
like the best, you know, spot in that gathering, and everyone, even Elijah would listen to him. But
when it didn't, you know, unless you have one of Allah, and he revolted against a judge. He made a
revolution against a judge. He had around 100,000 people 100,000 people, including, like, say, who
were one of the like the Imam of the tablet in
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:54
			so they revolted against. Elijah was a very strong fit. There was like a hijab was almost taken out,
but ultimately had judgment. I managed to subdue that revolution. And Amanda Shelby took part in
this revolution.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			He was with international he was with Russia.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:08
			So after that amount of shabby, you know was in, he kept himself hot, he kept hiding for years.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:22
			He kept a low profile. No one knew who he was he was because and you know what had judge he was
chasing them, one person after the other, he wanted to take them out. But then
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:40
			a judge decided to expand the Muslim in our expeditions into Horus and into the areas that are known
today's Afghanistan, Pakistan in these areas. So he needed more people. So he made a public radical
amnesty.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:36:22
			Amnesty Is it like when you let the criminal say amnesty, right? Yeah. So he gave a public public
amnesty, right? And he said, the ones who took part in the revolution of heaven and earth, if you
guys take a get involved or can scribe to these expeditions, then we will drop the charges against
you. So Imam Shafi goes and joins the expeditions and he goes and fights with them. But the leader
of that army, he recognizes a shabby, and he writes to a judge and he says, I've got a shabby with
me, bring him to me, bring him to me, brings me I need him.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			So they actually changed him and they sent him to a head judge.
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:35
			So when he goes to a judge, that means death, means death, what you revolted against me.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:46
			He enters he doesn't say a word. He lets the judge speak, he understands he's a diplomat. He knows
how to speak is very intelligent. So
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:52
			I'm going to recite or read what he just says and how he replies in Arabic And I will translate.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:37:06
			He says the man would kill to Allah He was Ernie called Allah haben. Hola. Hola. From McCord Janie
Willis Willis tamina. Shut off if you call me come in.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:14
			from major al Tula common Zirin, one mckennan for African nurse to Maharaj de la.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16
			He said
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:21
			No, we'll come to you know, welcome.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:38
			Oh, as someone else, one of my my friends just learn some English. And every time someone comes, he
says, Yeah, welcome. You're welcome. Welcome, but welcome means to you destruction, right. So
welcome.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:58
			So that's how I had just received Him, He said to him, you were nobody, you were nobody, you were
insignificant and I gave you a status and I gave you importance, and I brought you closer to me. And
you became known because of by favors upon you, then you revolt against me.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:05
			He says also asla Hola, hola, me kulu ma Alta who have
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:10
			he says May Allah rectify the meal?
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:14
			Everything you said is true.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:28
			So, he depleted the anger of a head judge No need to defend himself. He depleted the whole thing he
said everything you said is true. I confess as simple as that. So he sort of
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:38
			depleted the argument and he diffused the situation. He defuse the tension and the situation
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:43
			when he says what I can predict that can be solved.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:59
			What the helplessness Whoa. What am Nakhon Fie radical and daddy kabara button SPR wala phi gelatin
Acquia waha. One who happened to me was terrible, Tabitha Oba.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:03
			He says, basically, everything you said is true.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:13
			But after your fever is upon us after the status that you gave us, we made a bad choice. By the way,
I'm paraphrasing, I'm paraphrasing.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:24
			So, we did not appreciate this. And we made a bad decision. So we ended up with sleepless nights,
living in fear.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:47
			And we didn't get from this out of this. We were not righteous, we did not achieve righteousness out
of our revolution. And we did not even gain power. We did not even gain power. So basically, we lost
at all in all respects, we lost, but this is the time that you saved my life. And you forgive my
mistakes.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:59
			So had judgment. He had this he said, I forget what he said, I forgive you, you're free to go. So
but that shows his presence, his intelligence was actually like, impactful. So
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:20
			He was able to save his own life based on this. Let's go just to that side. I was meant to finish a
bit early, but I want to show the humorous side of his character. So he said he had an issue with
thick blooded people coming with dumb questions. Now there are people who tell you, for example, How
many times should I say to my wife, I love you.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:22
			Come on.
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:40
			Come on. Like he says five times. It doesn't work. Don't put a number on everything. Right? Every
each couple is different. Each couple is different. Someone says, okay, you know, when I make will
do when I wash my hands? How long should I keep my hand under the tap?
		
00:40:42 --> 00:41:08
			There are things that are just common sense. You don't need to ask about them. Right? So some people
asked so many specific questions that even make make you sick. So remember, share, we had a problem
with these people. So someone comes to him. And like he he heard him saying about what the professor
seldom talked about earlier, when you wash your face if you have a beard, and it's thick. So get
some water in your hand and put it underneath and rub it. So it goes through your beard.
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:37
			So the man, he was a bit obsessed with this idea. And awesome people like say, don't really wash my
hands did the water get so they wash the whole body when making a will just to make sure that
actually I made doable? they wash their arms, for example, maybe seven times? Did I make it three
times still? they asked themselves the question, washing their hands, sometimes 10 times, like the
guy who want to remember anything. He said, You know, I jumped into the pool, and I come out and I
don't know if I really made whistle or not.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41
			Can I still pray? He says no, you don't have to pray.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:59
			He says how come I'm just asking you about like whistle. Is it valid or not? And you tell me, I
shouldn't pray at all? He said yes. Because, you know, in order for prayer to be obligatory upon
you, you have to be a sane human being you're not you're insane. Okay, so that's it.
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:26
			So he said human beings, there's no prayer on you. You don't have to pray. So this guy is the same
thing he said. So he came in he says, you know about you know, rubbing the beard or wiping the beard
when he says I'm afraid I won't really get it truly width. So he says no problem. Just use your
fingers to run the water through it is but I'm still I'm not convinced. So you know what? from the
night before, soak it in water.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:50
			So that was his answer. So please, you know, get out of here. Leave me alone. So a man Salah hora,
Julian, how you and your Julian Mohammed and your help cabana? You know, when? When you are in a
state of alarm. You're not supposed to trim hair or remove it right? So some people have this
obsessive thinking. Like if they refuse, they want to scratch their heads. How do they do it? Like?
		
00:42:51 --> 00:43:08
			Like this, right? And if some like they feel It's itchy here, they do like this. They don't want any
hair to fall. That's not what's meant with a harem. Some people have this kind of what's worse. So
the man comes to me and says, If I'm in a state of a hum Can I like scratch my buddy.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:24
			He says yes, you can. What's the big deal? The man says how much or how bad or how hard? Are you
trying to put a number on it? Now obviously it gets frustrated with it. He says, Well, you keep
track scratching it until you hit bone.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:25
			That's
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28
			okay.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:46
			A shabby, you know, there are times they had an mm hmm Mm hmm. Basically public baths. You know,
like hammock Turkey. You go it's a massage place hot bath, something like this. So that these were
very common. So remember, shabby one day goes into this and Henman
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			and he founds a man, he comes across a man called
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54
			the wooden od.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:09
			And in that moment, it seems that the man was like had no sense of shyness. So he didn't have his
own he was basically naked. So when we saw him he closed his eyes. So the man wants to make fun of
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:28
			of a shabby, but I'm gonna say in Arabic because it sounds much better in Arabic. There's a man for
the wooden odb lamesa Biram for Alfa mobile shabby una colada would Yeah, but Amma Mehta Amita call
Mundo Nicola was it?
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:36
			Okay. Hello is that it was really funny. This guy was really something.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:50
			So he sees the man naked and he says, sit close his eyes. The guy says When did you become blind
trying to pick on a shabby. When did you become blind? He said he won't allow you to expose your
aura.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:53
			But in Arabic, it sounds really powerful.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			Okay,
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:09
			Someone came and asked him and he said, another guy, thick blooded guy with with this weird
question. So he comes to me and he says, Yeah, but I'm
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:16
			a terminal guru. He says, you know, the body gets sick, but does the soul gets sick as well.
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:23
			So he looked at him and he said, yes, it does get sick. And it gets sick from the thick blooded
people.
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:26
			That's why he said,
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			No, tumbled woman, literally.
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:32
			So one of his.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:59
			So one of his students had him and he kept it in mind. So this student One day, he finds a Shafi
with two people. And these two people were thick blooded, known for this kind of questions. And this
kind of, you know, being done. So there was Sarah, there were sort of cornering amount of shabby and
asking him questions. So the student recognized that he was stuck with them. So he says the mama
shabby.
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:06
			He says, khlifa he Oh, yeah, but how is your soul? Is it is a sick.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			So he says he.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:19
			He says, Oh, it's dying. I saw soul is dying now. Anyway, so he had the sense of humor. He had this
sense of humor.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:34
			Another guy comes to me, and he says, I'm gonna read the novel because well, first he says, Mooji
that's Mujahid. anamorphosis the great Tabby Professor he says hours
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:37
			one day with mama shabby
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:49
			indeed a jealous one Yeoman is a Belgian man on man who didn't know didn't know Islam more like a
cup or a bowl. Hector wha hoo. matcha and Eva con anta shabby,
		
00:46:53 --> 00:47:09
			Alterna so shabby was next to him but the man mix them up. So he came to the to Mooji and he said
you are a shabby he said Yeah. Oh, sorry. Sorry. He came to a shabby when Mujahid was with him. So
he said to a shabby You are a shabby said yes. She said a billion Iblees Allahu
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:14
			Allah shabby daddy Karlsson, Mahabharata Whoa.
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:18
			So the basically the guy
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:32
			he comes and he finds Mujahid was shabby. So he comes to me says you are a sham. He says yes. It is
telling me about a blease Satan. Does he have a wife? Mmm, she looks at him and he says that's a
wedding. I wasn't invited to
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:53
			like I don't know this. But then he thought later on. He said Actually, I thought about it. I said
he must have a wife. Because the last time Taylor says effort to know whether yet Oh, Leah. So do
you take shape on social thought? Do you think she thought and his children? So if he has children,
he must have wife. So he was still thinking about it.
		
00:47:54 --> 00:48:42
			Anyway, Amanda shabby, he was still had the sense of humbleness and humility. He said canalis nabble
fuqaha wackiness submitted Hadith following the Kindle 40 hemen either alima amela. He said we are
not the focal ha we just heard a hadith and we narrated them, but the 40 will 40 is the one that
when he does something, he acts upon it. He lives by it. That's a puppy. What one day he someone
called me said Dr. Elam. He said oh scholar, your item. He said in the morality momoney half Allah.
He said the atom is the one who feels Allah. So he wasn't comfortable with people calling him Adam
O'Shea. And that's how our self used to be. Didn't like titles or don't call me an alumna or somehow
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:59
			had to shave. Okay, oh Adam, lamb and Mufti are bound for hammer. This, all these titles, these are
worldly things. So the seller didn't like these kind of titles, Rahim Allah, Allah, He lived
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:44
			till the age 7979. So he lived a long life life. He lived a long life he died the year one or three
or one or four after he won or three or four after Hydra has such a rich he had such a rich life
full of teaching and learning and funny jokes as well that were purposeful and respectful for him
Allah to Allah. So as I said, it's important to know you know the important figures in our history
and learn from them then from them, by the way in nowadays shall not say me and although being very
studious, he had a sense of humor. It's a tacit sense of humor. Anyone who listened to the classes
have shaken up I mean carefully, you would actually catch this and him, you would catch this in him
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:58
			Rama to lolly. So I remember one day someone asked me and he said, You know I married a wife. And
obviously because the the chef was talking about, you know, before a marriage, any kind of
deficiency in the husband or the wife should be declared should be declared
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:10
			So the guy had this and he came and asked the chef, he said, You know, I married a wife. And they
didn't told me about anything. But later on after marriage, I realized there was some teeth missing.
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:15
			in her mouth. The chef said, Does she bite you?
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:17
			He said, No, I said, Keep her.
		
00:50:20 --> 00:51:01
			So this year had this kind of sense of humor as well. Okay, and it's good, it actually helps people
relate. And it's why it was accessible to him a lot, and a lot, like made him so accepted and loved
by so many people. And this is why a lot benefited a lot of people through his classes. He's
recorded classes and his books, and his fatawa him on law how to add. This is basically about an
amount of shabby as I said, next week can show a lot of halaqaat will be again after Asia, keep it
after Asia when the time changes. So in two weeks from now, it will be off tomorrow, and two weeks
from now will be up tomorrow because most likely will be 730. So we're probably starting around
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:14
			maybe quarter to eight or 10 to eight which is a good time to start the halaqa Jazakallah Heron
Baraka comes along. So let me know where to start to set up I apologize, I won't take any personal
questions because I need to rush behind already.
