You treat your fellow man.

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

Therefore, you cannot be a pious person.

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

You cannot be a

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

a proper Muslim

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

where you are Masha'Allah 5 day 5 times

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

a day in the Masjid, but you're a

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

terrible person to the people around you. That

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

is not Islam.

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

When Abi Islam's

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

characteristic

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

of how he treated people is what Allah

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

mentioned. And so Allah says in the Quran,

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

Allah

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

says, and by Allah's mercy as a gift

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

from Allah to you, oh, Muhammad sahlam,

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

you were you were good and lenient with

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

him.

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

Allah is also describing the type of leader

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

he was. So any of you who are

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

in a leadership position, whether at home, in

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

your work,

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

sallam,

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

you, oh, Muhammad sallam,

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

because of Allah, you are very lenient with

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

those beneath

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

you.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

But, O Muhammad, if you had been rude

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

in your speech

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

and you were harsh of heart,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

your followers would have left you.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

Allah says Abu Bakr would have left you.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

Amr would have left you. If you had

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

a terrible akhla, character.

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

They would have left you. So Allah says,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

so Allah says, so be pardon your followers,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

your sahaba, be merciful with them and ask

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

forgiveness for them, and you ask Allah to

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

forgive your Sahaba.

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

And consult them. This is the man who

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

Allah speaks to. And Allah says still when

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

you make a decision, make Mashura

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

with your community.

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

Yes. You might be the dad, the Sultan,

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

but ask your kids,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

even though 5 years old, what did you

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

like? Where should we go? Where should we

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

eat? Where would you like to go on

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

holiday?

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

Just consult the opinion, Allah says. Consult the

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

opinion. Speak to your employees. If you're a

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

manager,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

give, your subordinates a chance to give their

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

opinion.

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

Then Allah says, and once you have decided

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

then rely upon Allah and Allah loves those

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

who rely upon Him. And so this is

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

the leadership style of the Nabi Salam, and

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

this is what caused this man to change

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

the world. So let's look at it in

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

practice.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

As the Sahaba always mentioned

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

that the Nabi was

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

always optimistic.

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

He was always upbeat. When you read the

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

Sira,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

the biography of Islam,

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

it's war and battles and crisis after crisis.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

The world is constantly falling apart, and he's

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

got akhirah, worries. He's got Jahannam on his

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

his mind, qiyama on his mind. But the

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

Sahaba says I've never seen a man who

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

smiled more than the rabbi of salallam. He

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

is not moping around. He's not down on

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

the down on his luck. He is positive.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

And when you're a leader,

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

when you're a leader and people look to

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

you for reassurance, you can't be the man

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

panicking. You can't be the 1 screaming and

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

shouting and losing your cool. The Nabi Sabi

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

is smiling. He's not laughing and falling on

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

his back, but he is smiling. Everything's gonna

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

be okay. He's gonna be calm. We're

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

on his back, but he is smiling. Everything's

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

gonna be okay. It's gonna be calm. We

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

put our trust in Allah, and he is

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

positive.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

He also led by example. This is what

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

wins your

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

sahab, wins your youth. You as an imam,

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

you as a father, you as a CEO,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

you as the the manager, if you want

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

to get the buy in from your

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

subordinates, you need to be the 1 that

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

leads first.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

You are in the trenches with them literally.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

I mean, we'd say in the trenches.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

Jabir we spoke about the hadith last week.

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

Jabir said when we were digging for the

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

back of the trench,

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

the man who was ul

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

Hammam.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

And while we were all hungry, when I

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

saw him having the stone on his belly,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

I realized he was the man who was

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

starving the most.

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

The Rabi's the Sarabis, I saw the messenger

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

of Allah on the day of the trench

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

carrying dirt

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

until his chest was covered in

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

dirt. His entire body is in the trench

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

digging, Rasulullah salawasalam.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

Yet many of us, we feel that's the

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

PA's work. That's the secretary's work. That's the

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

cleaner's job. Not me. This is Rasulullah sallallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam.

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

And the battle of Badr is another great

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

example, especially in crisis. The Nabi's show his

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

his his leadership style. In the Battle of

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

Badr, they were short on camels,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

so people had to share. 3 had to

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

share 1 camel,

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

and the other 2 had to walk, and

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

then they take turns.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

So when the Nabi Salam's

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

camel came,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

you you ride the camel, we'll walk.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

Also, side note, the Nabi Salam is the

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

old amongst all the Sahaba, there's very few

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

that were older than him. He was always

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

the most senior in age. Abu Bakr is

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

younger, St. Umar is younger, and many of

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

the sayin Ali is much much younger. So

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

here you have the senior man in his

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

fifties, and you have a lot of men

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

in their twenties and fifties. So they're gonna

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

say, you Rasulullah, you ride the camel. We'll

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

walk. We don't have to take turns here.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

And he was shearing a camel with Seyda

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

Ali and Abu Lu Baba, and he said

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

to Seyda Ali and Abu Lu Baba, no.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

No. No, guys. We're gonna she. You will

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

ride

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

when it's your turn

00:04:57 --> 00:04:57

because,

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

1,

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

I also need the rewards like you. The

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

1 who walks is getting more reward from

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

Allah. Do you think I wanna be deprived

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

of the reward? I also want the reward

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

of walking. And he says, you guys, maybe

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

you think you're young? I can also walk.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

I'm not, I'm just as strong as you

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

as I can walk. And so, Masha'Allah,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

not even in his way of of showing

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

politeness, he makes it, you know, look at

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

the the the the impact it must have

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

had on Sayidna Ali. And, you know, SubhanAllah,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

you look at the impact. This event,

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

20, 50 years later, when Sayidna Umar conquers

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

Jerusalem,

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

a moment which is etched in history. Sayidna

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

Umar is coming to Jerusalem to conquer the

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

city,

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

not with an army, just he and his

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

servants, the 2 of them. They come to

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

Jerusalem from Medina, 1 camel,

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

and exactly as they shared.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

1 day you walk, 1 day I ride.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

Even though you're the Khalifa, I'm the slave.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

Sayedom said, no. No. No. The journey is

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

the same. We share. And when the time

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

came to enter Jerusalem, it was the slaves

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

turn to ride the camel. So the slaves

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

said, yeah, Amir, we can't enter the city.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

You're the conqueror and ride you're walking, I'm

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

riding. Let us swap now. I know it's

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

my turn, but we swap. So he said,

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

no no no. Fair is fair. So imagine

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

this

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

Subha

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

And that moment

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

that moment is still today mentioned in the

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

books of history. Why when we conquered Jerusalem

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

and InshaAllah we'll do it again so peacefully.

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

No blood no bloodshed.

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

Giving over. This is the kind of man

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

we can easily give our city over to.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

The Rabi'ul sallalahu alaihi wa sallalahu alaihi wa

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

sallalahu alaihi wa sallalahu alaihi wa sallalahu alaihi

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

wa sallalahu alaihi wa can learn, and, you

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

know, I speak to myself, to take note

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

of even the

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

the most unimportant people in your community.

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

You know, when we get our WhatsApp messages,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

we know, oh, the boss sent me a

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

message. I need to respond.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

The wife said the message, I hope that's

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

1 of the important you know, you pinned

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

him. That's important.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

Chats I too. But then, okay, so and

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

so sent me a message. Subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

sometimes mom sends a message and I'll get

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

back to her. I'll get back to her.

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

But Rabi al Salam is busy with the

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

affairs of the state, the government, and the

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

affairs of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, yet he

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

knows what's happening with even the junior most

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

people in his community.

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

Said Nabi's son was a young boy, young

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

man,

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

and the Nabi salalam would see him in

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

the Masjid and see him engaging and talking

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

to his friends. And so sayid Omar says

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21

but he say Nabi says sorry. Nabi says

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

this about this young boy who perhaps is

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

not engaging with an Nabi's indirectly.

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

I noticed him. He's a good boy. Masha'Allah.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

Abdullah is what an excellent man he is.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

The Nabi Salam is choosing a young man.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

He identifies as what an excellent young man

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

this you are, oh

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

Abdullah. If only you made him more a

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

little more tahajjud, you will be super excellent.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

After that, it's Abdullah bin Umar never missed

00:07:43 --> 00:07:43

Hajjut,

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

and he becomes the senior most companion

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

in the next generation. When all the his

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

father say, now Umar and Abu Bakr passed

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

away, say, Abdullah bin Umar is the most

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

senior man and this remained with him. The

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

Nabi

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

noticed me as a good person and said

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

just do a little bit more tajjat.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

And he never let an elective pray.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

Rabi, he also found value in every single

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

person. How many of us have team teams

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

are also guilty of this. And, oh, if

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

I only can get rid of these 2,

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

3 people,

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

there's nothing I can do with him. They

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

just need to go on and do me

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

a favor and just resign or something, win

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

the lotto and quit. You know? Then

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

Nabi had a function. Every person has something

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

to contribute.

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

The battle of Uhud, 1 of the young

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

men, Zaid ibn Thabit, we all know this

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

very famous companion. You should know him. SubhanAllah,

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

you should know him. Everyone who recites the

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

Quran, you owe this. This is the number

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

1 Hafid of all the Sahaba. Zaid ibn

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

Abid, number 1 halfth. The main halfth.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

He comes to the battle of of Uhud.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

He's still a young boy, 14, 15.

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

All his friends are allowed to join the

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

army, but Zaid was a scrawny guy. And

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

so the Rabbi said, no. You Zaid, you

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

need to sit this 1 out. Completely

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

demoralized. You know, young boys, imagine you you

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

on the bench, you think about this. Everyone

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

is going to play in the World Cup.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

You're not gonna get you're not good enough

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

on the bench, kicked out of the team,

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

completely broken, demodelized.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

After the battle, the Nabisun said to Zayd,

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

come come, my boy. You're a very smart

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

guy. Maybe you don't have muscles here. Hey.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

You're a smart guy. I want you to

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

be my personal secretary.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

When I write a letter,

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

I can't read and write, so you will

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

read to me. And masha'Allah, you know Hebrew

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

because he grew up in Madinah. I want

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

you to be my ambassador with the Jews

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

when you communicate

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

with them. And when I get wahi from

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

Allah because you can read and write, you

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

take it down. You be my scribe. You

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

will be my secretary.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

Based on that, Zayd radhiallahu an, he was

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

always with the Nabi Salam, and he received

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

the revelation. When the Nabi Salam receives the

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

revelation, he's the first man taking the minutes,

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

the secretary.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

Therefore, when the prophet away

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

and Said no Baqir said we need to

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

put the Quran together in a book in

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

a mushaf in a book, they said who

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

is the most knowledgeable half with amongst us?

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

Everyone said, Zaid. 18 year old Zaid, he

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

knows more Quran than Abu Bakr, and Umar,

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

he is the best half with amongst all

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

of us. Zaid, you are the 1 that's

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

going to write the Quran into a must

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

have, SubhanAllah.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

Nabi understood

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

everyone's potential is different and he had a

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

place for everybody.

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

And, Nabi so he takes note of everyone.

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

Another

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

very interesting example, in his final battle of

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

his life, the last battle of the Nabi's

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

life was also the biggest in terms of

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

number. Every battle, the Muslims are getting 1

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

1 more called the Battle of Tabuk.

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

Tens and thousands, 30, 40000

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

Muslims joined this battle.

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

And midway in the battle, the Nabi Muslims

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

said, where's Kaab?

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

Kaab is 1 of the companions,

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

and he even says, I know Kaab got

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

a new camel.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44

Imagine, he knows who's missing in 30, 000

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

people, and he also knows Kaab should be

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

here because he just got a new camel.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

I understand if he didn't have a camel,

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

he can't be part of the army, but

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

he's got AII I'm I'm

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

and this is amazing.

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

It's a very difficult quality, but imagine

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

you I mean, just imagine you're the CEO

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

of some big company. Well, you can't compare

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

the Nabi Salam to I mean, imagine, but

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

you're the CEO of some company. And you

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

know, I I didn't see auntie so and

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

so. She's the the janitor, the cleaning lady.

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

How's her son doing? I know she was

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

in hospital. Because so and so, how you

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

know, his daughter got married.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

What do you think this does

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

to the men that are underneath you,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

your companions?

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

He is not scrutinizing

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

me for keeping check on me, but he

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

knows the situation of my life. He knows

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

what's going on, and he feels my absence.

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

The same with the cleaning lady of Masjid.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

When she died we all know this hadith

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

that the lady who cleaned the Masjid was

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

a slave lady. When she died, she died

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

in the middle of the night. So the

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

Sahaba,

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

the Husalda, her and they made janazah and

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

they buried her.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

The rabbi says, the next morning, he said,

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

where's auntie so and so? I don't see

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

her. So he said, yeah, she died. She

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

passed away, so we buried her. And he

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

was so sad. Why didn't you call me

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

to do the janaza?

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

They thought,

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

you were too busy to make janaza on

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

the janitor, on the cleaner. She's not so

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

important to you.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

For him, what did he do? And he

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

didn't do this for any any other Sahaba.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

He went to Hakobr, and he made a

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

janazul salah. He said, no. You should have

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10

told me.

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

You should have told me. I wanted to

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

make janazul salah on this on this auntie.

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

Now sometimes you always can't be the good

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

guy.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

You can't be the good guy. You have

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

to be

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

stick dad,

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

bad dad. I don't know. Fun there's fun

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

dad. Not fun dad. You have to be

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

the manager who reprimands. The nabi's job is

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

not just to be fun time nabi and

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

smile and be happy and say MashaAllah, it's

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

okay. When they made mistakes, he had to

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

reprimand them, and this is a skill of

00:12:39 --> 00:12:40

the Nabi Salam.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

1 of the traits of the Nabi Salam

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

is he praised

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

publicly.

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

He mentions the success of people publicly.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

People feel so demoralized when they do something

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

good and they get overlooked. He made a

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

point of praising, Abdullah, you're such a good

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

man.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

What an amazing person this 1 is. You

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

are the best of Azayd.

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

But when he had to reprimand, he did

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

it privately,

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

he didn't mention their names, and if he

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

had to do it publicly, he would do

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

it in such a wonderful, wonderful way,

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

and he did it depending on their their

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

level.

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

You know, the reprimand

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

the kindergarten child the same way you reprimand

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

the university professor. You should know better, so

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

we go harsh with you even though I

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

love you more. We'll get that.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

So Anas says

00:13:27 --> 00:13:28

and who is Anas? Anas is another young

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

boy who got to live and grow up

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

at the hands of the Rabi Salam. When

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

the Rabi Salam comes to Madinah,

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

after the hijrah,

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

he comes there and people are coming to

00:13:38 --> 00:13:39

the Rabi Salam giving him barakat.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

Some sisters. Here are some dates. Come to

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

my house. I'm gonna host you. Auntie comes.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

A lady comes and she says, here's my

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

son Anas. He's 6 years old. He is

00:13:48 --> 00:13:48

yours.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

Meaning, whatever you need, Anas will fix it.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

Whenever you want something done, Anas is your

00:13:54 --> 00:13:54

boy.

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

Okay? I'm stuck with you now. So now

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

Anas is with an every day, and that's

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

why how many hadith and Anas in Anas

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

said, this is that Anas.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

Anas said, I met Nabi, al Salam, when

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

I was 6, and when I when he

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

died, I was 16, 10 years. The happiest

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

day of my life was the day I

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

met him. The saddest day of my life

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

was when he died. And in that 16

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

years in that so rather in that 10

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

years, not once did he reprimand me in

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

a way that I felt bad. For and

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

here's an example.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

Anas is saying and this is a boy

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

who got to see the Nabi Salam personally.

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

He says that Rasulullah was the best of

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

all men in character.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

1 day

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

he sent me to do an errand and

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

I said

00:14:36 --> 00:14:37

to Abu Bakr Weyver.

00:14:39 --> 00:14:40

Said Anas says, I said to Nabi's Muslim,

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

I swear by Allah that I will I

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

I will I I will not do it.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

He's telling them, I'm not gonna do it.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

Nabi's Anas, go do this for me, my

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

boy. And I said, no. Wallah, not gonna

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

do it, Yarasulullah. I don't wanna do it.

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

He's because he's a boy. And then Nabi

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

said, but in my heart, I felt that

00:14:54 --> 00:14:55

I should go. So Nabi said, but I

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

felt I should go and do what the

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

messenger commanded me to do. So the rabbi

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

left him when he said, I'm not gonna

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

yeah. No. I'm busy. I'm playing PlayStation now.

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

You do it. He's saying to the rabbi

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

salaam like this. Right? But he felt, okay.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

Eventually, I must go. So then he got

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

up and he went. So I went out,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

but on my way to deliver whatever, I

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

saw boys playing in the street, so I

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

started playing with him. I started playing with

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

him in the street.

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

Then, now time goes by, he doesn't know

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

how long he's been playing in the street.

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

All of a sudden, the Nabi Sun came

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

up behind me, and he caught me by

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

the back of my neck.

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

When I looked at him, he was smiling

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

at me, he was laughing at me, and

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

said, Oh Anas, go and do what I

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

ordered you to do, oh little Anas.

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

He said, Yes, yes, I'm going to do

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

it now, you Rasool Allah. This is,

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

SubhanAllah,

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

the way in which the Nabi Salam engages.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

How do you think this makes Anas feel?

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

You can't a 100 almost a 100 the

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

Nabi's son passed away when he was 16.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

He lived to almost a hundred, but Nabi's

00:15:52 --> 00:15:55

son was his man, was his hero, was

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

his icon, and he would tell the the

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

ummah what a great person the Nabi Salam

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

was. The Nabi Salam didn't have to tell

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

Anas, record my hadith. You tell them what

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

I did. He just had to by example,

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

Anas admired him. And so the Rabi understands

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

Anas is a small boy. He's 6, 7,

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

8, 9. He's gonna play PlayStation. He's gonna

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

be

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

so the is soft with him. Another beautiful

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

example is the better 1.

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

We all know this hadith. The better 1

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

comes in the Masjid, and he embraces Islam.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

He's a Muslim. And then in the middle

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

of salah, he breaks off and he stands

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

in the corner, and he urinates in the

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

salah.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

Now if any of us did this

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

now think about this. How many times someone

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

walks in the

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

doesn't smell right? We think, oh, he's just

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

here for begging. You know? We always wanna

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

chase him at the man. We're gonna stand

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

here. Chase, fail. Oh, we do this. We

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

do this. Imagine he then went to the

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

corner and he urinated the Masjid. We that's

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

of the after Jamar. That that put that

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

would be dead. And that's exactly what was

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

gonna happen. The Sahaba

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

wants to jump and pound this guy, and

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

then I'm gonna stop. Leave him. Let him

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

finish. Also,

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

his wisdom, why let him finish? You pick

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

the man up. He's going to urinate all

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

over the Masjid. Leave him. Let him finish.

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

And then when he was done, the Nabi

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

says, Ajay, come here. Come. Let me speak

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

to you. And so the Nabi Muslim explains

00:17:12 --> 00:17:13

to him, this is a masjid. We make

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

salaiah, and this is a place that we

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

worship Allah and we are pure. If you

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

want to urinate,

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

go outside. The Nabi's understand this man is

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

a bedouin. He doesn't know any better. This

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

is how he lives. He urinates in his

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

own house like this. And so the bedouin

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

says, and this is a beautiful part, the

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

bedouin says, may Allah have mercy on you,

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

oh, Mohammed, and me and nobody else. Just

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

the 2 of us. May Allah have mercy

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

on the 2 of us. These guys all

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

wanted to beat me up. So then Rizal

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

laughs and he says, you've tried to take

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

something very, very big, Allah's mercy, and make

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

it very small. Rather, Allah's mercy is for

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

everybody. Wow. Just

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

an amazing

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

moment.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

However, this is an us and a better

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

1. They don't know any better.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

He can also be harsh and

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

strict with those who should know better.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

Mu'ad ibn Jabal

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

Now, this is a senior companion. In fact,

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

Mu'adh and these are companions we should know.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

Mu'adh radiAllan. Do you know what the Nabiun

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

said about Mu'adh? The Nabiun says on the

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

day of Qiyama, when all the fuqaha, Imam

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

Shafi, Abu Hanifa, all of them are going

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

to be called. Those who pass judgment in

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

the laws of fiqh,

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

their imam is Mu'adh.

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

So you are a professor Mu'adh.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:22

You are someone that the Nabi Salam has

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

made a leader, a governor.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

The Nabi Salam said,

00:18:28 --> 00:18:29

Jabal laid his companions in Ishae I Salah.

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

So Mu'ad is now the Imam. He's leading

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

Salah, and he made Ishaei long. He's

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

a man of Tajjud and so he lived

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

a long ishay, badshat too long. And during

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

the salah, a man broke his salah and

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

he left. And he went to go pray

00:18:43 --> 00:18:44

by himself. This is too long now. I've

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

got things to do. And Mu'adh was told

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

about that, and Mu'adh says, dad Buta is

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

a Munafiq. How can you break salah and

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

just go like that?

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

And when that man, the the the Sahabi

00:18:56 --> 00:18:57

heard

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

he went to complain

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

He said,

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

long. I couldn't stand so long. So so

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

I broke it and I wait. Then he

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

called me.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

You Rasulullah, what what do you think he's

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

gonna do? Who do you think he's gonna

00:19:10 --> 00:19:11

reprimand? Reprimand? The Nabi calls Mu'adh, and he

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

says, Are you a fitna, makin Mu'adh? You

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

wanna break the jama'? You wanna cause disunity

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

in the in in my in my

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

my in my community?

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

Ma'al. We now what is harsh as Ma'al?

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

You you are causing you wanna make salah

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

long, masha'Allah, but you

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

cause the whole jama'ah to be upset to

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

the point where someone now breaks his salah.

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

You should know better Mu'adh. So then Nabi

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

says, Umu'ath,

00:19:36 --> 00:19:37

when you lead the people in salah,

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

recite.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

Keep it short.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

You keep it short.

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

And when you, and

00:19:46 --> 00:19:49

keep it in the short salah and basically

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

when you and

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

and, recite short Surahs when you lead the

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

imam. So it's part of the fiqh of

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

the imam that if the Jama'ah gets frustrated

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

with you, you shouldn't be the imam. You

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

recite in a certain way that the Jama'ah

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

doesn't like, it's bad because you must want

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

people to recite it. But when you wanna

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

make salah on your own, you can then

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

make as much tajjud as you want. And

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

so very, very these are harsh words. Where

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

is the soft nabi? Where is oh, anas,

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

you know, Bedouin, may Allah have mercy on

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

you. This is an imam for what is

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

his crime? I made too much salah. No.

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

You should know better. And that's why also,

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26

not immediately after this, but towards the end

00:20:26 --> 00:20:29

of his life, the Nabi's about to die,

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

and now he's saying his final goodbyes.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

Mu'ad is 1 of the people he got

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

to say a final goodbye to because Mu'ad

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

is now going to Yemen as a governor,

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

and the Nabis knows I'm not gonna see

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

you again. And now you know who Mu'ad

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

is. That was a better 1. We were

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

soft with him because he's not close to

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

me. The Nabi's was hard on the ones

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

he'd have the most. He was hard on

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

those closest to him. I expect better from

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

you. And so he says to Mu'adh, Umu'adh.

00:20:51 --> 00:20:52

Mu'adh is telling us the hadith before I

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

went to Yemen, he called me and he

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

says, Umu'adh, I swear by Allah that I

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

love you.

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

SubhanAllah.

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

Many Sahaba loved the Nabi salaam, but there

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

were very few that he said these words,

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

I love you.

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

And he says again,

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09

I love you.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

And then he says, I advise you,

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

do not forget after every salah

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

to say, Ummad, I love you. Now also,

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

how is he giving he's telling he's teaching

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

you, make a dua. If he said, du'a,

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

make this du'a. Don't forever forget.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:29

Oh, Allah, help me to remember you, and

00:21:29 --> 00:21:30

help me to make shukr of you, to

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

thank you, and help me to worship you

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

in a proper way. He didn't say Muad,

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

make this not this dua. He says, Muad,

00:21:36 --> 00:21:37

I love you. I love you. Make this

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

dua and he advised him and then he

00:21:37 --> 00:21:38

went to, when he went to to, to

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

Yemen. Advised him, and then he went to,

00:21:40 --> 00:21:41

when he went to to, to Yemen. When

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

he had to reprimand people and sometimes

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

your people make big mistakes. Sahaba also made

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

big mistakes. 1 of the companions,

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

he

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

kind of betrayed the Muslims in a battle.

00:21:55 --> 00:21:58

Rabi Salam was about to invade Makkah, to

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

conquer Makkah, and he wanted to do this

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

stealth

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

without the Quraysh knowing. Because once if you

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

capture him on surprise, there's no battle. I

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

can just easily take over Mecca without any

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

bloodshed. And when the when the Nabi Sun

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

was about to dispatch the army, 1 Sahabi

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

sent a letter, the Muslims are coming.

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

The story why the Sahabi, his name is

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

Hatib.

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

Hatib.

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

So

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

when the plot came out that Hatib sent

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

a secret letter to the Quraysh informing them

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

the the reason called him, you you know,

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

Saeed Na'omir's

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

way of solving his management style? Very simple.

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

Remove

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

the nick of this munafiq. Alright. That's Sayidna

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

Umar's default position. How do we deal with

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

this guy? Remove the neck. Oh, Hatib. So

00:22:37 --> 00:22:39

now the Nabi Muslim says to Hatib, Oh,

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

Hatib, why what did you what obliged you

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

to have done this? I want to understand

00:22:43 --> 00:22:45

why would you do my suhabi? Why would

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

you do this? And so then Rabi says,

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

so he says, oh, You Rasulullah,

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

and he says, 0000,

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

Allah's messenger, why for what reason should I

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

not believe in Allah and His mission? I

00:22:55 --> 00:22:56

have not done this because I'm a kafir,

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

but I did this because my family is

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

in Makkah and I was worried of the

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

safety and security and in my heart I

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

believed even with my letter Allah will intervene.

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

There is no way Allah is going to

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

allow you to lose. So it was a

00:23:09 --> 00:23:11

win win. This is my reasoning.

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

Sayyidina Umar says, I don't buy this here.

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

So the Nabi says, say, no. Omar, don't

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

you know? Now this is it. This is

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

the point for us as fathers, leaders.

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

Your subordinates may make a big mistake.

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

Don't forget the 10 years of service that

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

they did to get there. Don't forget all

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

the times they did good things. They dropped

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

the ball this time. They made a big

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

mistake. So then say then he tells say,

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

no. Say, no. Then our business says, say,

00:23:35 --> 00:23:35

no.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

Omar, wasn't heart Ibad Badr with us? When

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

we needed him at Badr, he was there.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

This man has a lifetime of legacy of

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

good.

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

He made a mistake now,

00:23:44 --> 00:23:47

and so Allah has forgiven his sins.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

This 1 is overlooked, and so this is

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

something for us to learn in marriage,

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

in our relationships.

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

Your best of friends, your colleagues, your wife,

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

your husband might let you down. Don't throw

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

away 20 years of of of success, of

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

goodness

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

because of 1 mistake. Even if it's a

00:24:04 --> 00:24:06

big mistake, we all make mistakes. This was

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

a big 1 for Hatib. He genuinely I

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

mean, this is treason. But then we said,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

but he was with us at Badr. So

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

we overlook this 1 because he was with

00:24:13 --> 00:24:14

us at Badr. To end

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

off, every Sahabi, if you can do this,

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

you would be great. If every employee,

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

every child, every person you engage Sahabi

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

genuinely

00:24:30 --> 00:24:30

Every Sahabi

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

genuinely believed

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

I was the favorite of the Nabi Salam.

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

And this is this, this last hadith we

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38

mentioned is 1 that we should all know.

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

There's a Sahabi called Amr bin Al-'As. The

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

name stands with a lot of names. Amr

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

radiaallan is 1 of the latest Sahabi. He's

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

not Abu Bakr or Umar's quality. He comes

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

much later. He becomes

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

AAA Muslim. He embraced Islam quite late. And

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

after he embraced Islam, the Nabi Muslim gave

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

him a promotion. You're going to be a

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

leader of an expedition. Ah, so he felt

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

good.

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

And he promoted Nabi's promoted him above Sayin

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

al Bakr and Omar and Ali's. So, sir,

00:25:01 --> 00:25:03

Amr believed, Aish. I'm I'm I'm the main

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

guy. Now they come back from the expedition,

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

and they explain what happened and Amr did

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

a good job. He was a good leader.

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

You know? He won the battle, and then

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

Abu Sim obviously praised him. Now imagine the

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

scene. You're in the masjid. Abu Bakr is

00:25:16 --> 00:25:17

there. Umrah is there. Umrah is there. And

00:25:17 --> 00:25:18

so, Umrah is there, yeah, Rasulullah,

00:25:19 --> 00:25:20

why not tell us who do you love

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

the most? Who's your favorite among us? He

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

asked the question publicly, and the rabbi was

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

asked like, this is an awkward kind of

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

question. Why are you asking a question like

00:25:27 --> 00:25:28

this? And now I wanna know, who's your

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

favorite? Why is he asking it? He believes,

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

I'm of you, my favorite.

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

So that was, the prophet says, oh, Aisha

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

Aisha is my I love the most. So

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

Aisha, my wife. How many of us would

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

say that to Anubha? How many of us

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

would say that? Just point here.

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

Aisha isn't there. This is the man, the

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

man. She's not there. He's not trying to

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

give her some some I love you for

00:25:49 --> 00:25:50

the brownie points because I wanna watch the

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

cricket tomorrow. Right?

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

He's saying Aisha because he genuinely wants to

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

know, this is my wife. She's my favorite.

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

I she's she has my heart. So then

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

Amr said, no. No. Not that kind of

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

love, you Rasool Allah. Amongst the mean, who's

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

your favorite amongst us? So then he says,

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

Abuha, her father. Again, he didn't say Abu

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

Bakr. He said her father. Aisha is still

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

on his mind. Her father, Abu Bakr is

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

my closest.

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

So okay, and next is Umar. Oh, next,

00:26:14 --> 00:26:17

Uthman. Then Amr said, keep quiet. Because now

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

I realized

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

I'm not on the top of the list,

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

but he believed he was. And this

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

is the genius and the brilliance of Nabi

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

his

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

ability to reach the hearts of every person

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

to the point where they

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

felt, you must love me even more than

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

Aisha. I'm your favorite, right, You Rasool Allah?

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

But, well, alhamdulillah, it's something for all of

00:26:37 --> 00:26:38

us to and may Allah grant us to

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

be the best of leaders to win hearts

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

and grant us to follow in his sunnah.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

I mean, as I said, we've got our

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

youth here for the dawah. For those of

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

the youth that are here, please, after Jum'ah,

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

please stay and and and and come come

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

speak to me. And then we have our

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

AGM.

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

You're all musalis and part of this masjid.

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55

Please join our AGM,

00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
