00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			When it comes to the time of Abu
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:02
			Bakr as Siddiq
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			many people say that Ali
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			who was upset and he did not want
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			Abu Bakr's khalifa. That is very far from
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			the truth. He was one of the first
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			to stretch his hand when he was in
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			his home. And one of the people came
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			to him and told him, Do you know
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			what is
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			the Muhajireen and Ansar have sat. And this
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			is what took place. And now Abu Bakr
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			is being
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			appointed the leader. He quickly rushed out with
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			half of his clothing on, and he went
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			and he stretched his hand and pledged allegiance
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			to Abu Bakr as Siddiq
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			There was no dispute. Like I said, they
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			had such a good relation that even after
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			that, they used to walk together.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Alibnu abi Talib was one of the most
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			virtuous of the lot.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			Jami'an. May Allah be pleased with all of
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			them. And Abu Bakr as Siddiq
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			used to constantly ask
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			him his opinion in so many different things.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			May Allah
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			use us also to ask those with knowledge
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			their opinions when we have some important matters
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			in our own lives. Ameen.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			At the time of Umar ibn Khattab
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			as well, Alib Nabih Talib
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			was one of those who pledged allegiance. They
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			had such a powerful relation.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			Can I inform you how powerful this relation
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			was?
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			When alibnu abi Talib, mashaAllah, he had many
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			children
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			and he married multiple wives after the death
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			of Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			She passed away approximately 6 months after Muhammad
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			She was the last of the children of
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			Muhammad
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			to pass away. Because all of his children
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			passed away in his lifetime
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			besides Fatima. Fatima
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			passed away approximately 6 months later. After that,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			al ibn Abi Talib
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			married
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			the widow
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			of Abu Bakr as Siddiq
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Now if they were enemies, why would he
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			do that? Secondly,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			he looked after the child of Abu Bakr
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			as his own child. His name was Muhammad
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			ibn Abi Bakr. He was the son of
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Abu Bakr as Siddiq from Asma binti Umayz.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			And Asma binti Umayz
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			was married to Ali ibn Abi Talib
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			after the death of Abu Bakr as Siddeep
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			How powerful. And after that, he named his
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			children as follows.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			One of them was Abu Bakr ibn Ali.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			The other one was Umar ibn Ali. The
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			other one was Uthman ibn Ali
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			But people don't tell us this, do they?
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			These were some of the children of Ali
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			ibn Abi Talib. He had a son known
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			as Abu Bakr, ibn Ali. He had a
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			son known as Umar ibnu Ali. Do you
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			know this? May Allah's peace and blessings be
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			upon them all. So this was the love
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			that they had amongst each other. But there
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			came people later on who created dispute and
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			who created
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			discord.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			This is what we spoke about yesterday. And
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			we said, my brothers and sisters, be careful
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			of people who come to you to create
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			discord between you and your brethren in faith.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			May Allah
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			grant us ease.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			In fact,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			at the time of Uthman ibn Affan,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			we heard yesterday that the enemies surrounded him.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			They were Muslimen but they were not from
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			amongst the sahabah. When Alib Nabiatalib
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			who find out found out the depth of
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			what was happening,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			he sent a message to Uthman saying, I
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			have with me 500 of the companions of
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			Muhammad
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			I can send them to you now in
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			order to eradicate those who are trying to
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			harm you. Yet those who are trying to
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			harm Uthman were the ones who were saying
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			that Ali should be appointed as caliph. And
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			himself, he was so powerful and so just.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			He said, No way. These people are wrong.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			We can send the companions in order to
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			defend Uthman. Uthman, what a great man. He
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			even named his child after Uthman ibn Affan
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			But Uthman ibn Affan responded to this. And
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			he said, I would not like to see
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			the blood of muslims being spilled because of
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			me. I'd rather die than to see massacre
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			amongst the muslimin.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			This was this was the status of Uthman
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			ibn Affan.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			Today, people would rather see a massacre
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			than to leave themselves. May Allah protect us.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Look at how we have converted and changed
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			completely. May Allah
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			safeguard us. May He protect the muslimeen who
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			are struggling at the hands of their own
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			brothers and sisters today, more than the hands
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			of anyone else.
