You treat your fellow man.
Therefore, you cannot be a pious person.
You cannot be a
a proper Muslim
where you are Masha'Allah 5 day 5 times
a day in the Masjid, but you're a
terrible person to the people around you. That
is not Islam.
When Abi Islam's
characteristic
of how he treated people is what Allah
mentioned. And so Allah says in the Quran,
Allah
says, and by Allah's mercy as a gift
from Allah to you, oh, Muhammad sahlam,
you were you were good and lenient with
him.
Allah is also describing the type of leader
he was. So any of you who are
in a leadership position, whether at home, in
your work,
sallam,
you, oh, Muhammad sallam,
because of Allah, you are very lenient with
those beneath
you.
But, O Muhammad, if you had been rude
in your speech
and you were harsh of heart,
your followers would have left you.
Allah says Abu Bakr would have left you.
Amr would have left you. If you had
a terrible akhla, character.
They would have left you. So Allah says,
so Allah says, so be pardon your followers,
your sahaba, be merciful with them and ask
forgiveness for them, and you ask Allah to
forgive your Sahaba.
And consult them. This is the man who
Allah speaks to. And Allah says still when
you make a decision, make Mashura
with your community.
Yes. You might be the dad, the Sultan,
but ask your kids,
even though 5 years old, what did you
like? Where should we go? Where should we
eat? Where would you like to go on
holiday?
Just consult the opinion, Allah says. Consult the
opinion. Speak to your employees. If you're a
manager,
give, your subordinates a chance to give their
opinion.
Then Allah says, and once you have decided
then rely upon Allah and Allah loves those
who rely upon Him. And so this is
the leadership style of the Nabi Salam, and
this is what caused this man to change
the world. So let's look at it in
practice.
As the Sahaba always mentioned
that the Nabi was
always optimistic.
He was always upbeat. When you read the
Sira,
the biography of Islam,
it's war and battles and crisis after crisis.
The world is constantly falling apart, and he's
got akhirah, worries. He's got Jahannam on his
his mind, qiyama on his mind. But the
Sahaba says I've never seen a man who
smiled more than the rabbi of salallam. He
is not moping around. He's not down on
the down on his luck. He is positive.
And when you're a leader,
when you're a leader and people look to
you for reassurance, you can't be the man
panicking. You can't be the 1 screaming and
shouting and losing your cool. The Nabi Sabi
is smiling. He's not laughing and falling on
his back, but he is smiling. Everything's gonna
be okay. He's gonna be calm. We're
on his back, but he is smiling. Everything's
gonna be okay. It's gonna be calm. We
put our trust in Allah, and he is
positive.
He also led by example. This is what
wins your
sahab, wins your youth. You as an imam,
you as a father, you as a CEO,
you as the the manager, if you want
to get the buy in from your
subordinates, you need to be the 1 that
leads first.
You are in the trenches with them literally.
I mean, we'd say in the trenches.
Jabir we spoke about the hadith last week.
Jabir said when we were digging for the
back of the trench,
the man who was ul
Hammam.
And while we were all hungry, when I
saw him having the stone on his belly,
I realized he was the man who was
starving the most.
The Rabi's the Sarabis, I saw the messenger
of Allah on the day of the trench
carrying dirt
until his chest was covered in
dirt. His entire body is in the trench
digging, Rasulullah salawasalam.
Yet many of us, we feel that's the
PA's work. That's the secretary's work. That's the
cleaner's job. Not me. This is Rasulullah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
And the battle of Badr is another great
example, especially in crisis. The Nabi's show his
his his leadership style. In the Battle of
Badr, they were short on camels,
so people had to share. 3 had to
share 1 camel,
and the other 2 had to walk, and
then they take turns.
So when the Nabi Salam's
camel came,
you you ride the camel, we'll walk.
Also, side note, the Nabi Salam is the
old amongst all the Sahaba, there's very few
that were older than him. He was always
the most senior in age. Abu Bakr is
younger, St. Umar is younger, and many of
the sayin Ali is much much younger. So
here you have the senior man in his
fifties, and you have a lot of men
in their twenties and fifties. So they're gonna
say, you Rasulullah, you ride the camel. We'll
walk. We don't have to take turns here.
And he was shearing a camel with Seyda
Ali and Abu Lu Baba, and he said
to Seyda Ali and Abu Lu Baba, no.
No. No, guys. We're gonna she. You will
ride
when it's your turn
because,
1,
I also need the rewards like you. The
1 who walks is getting more reward from
Allah. Do you think I wanna be deprived
of the reward? I also want the reward
of walking. And he says, you guys, maybe
you think you're young? I can also walk.
I'm not, I'm just as strong as you
as I can walk. And so, Masha'Allah,
not even in his way of of showing
politeness, he makes it, you know, look at
the the the the impact it must have
had on Sayidna Ali. And, you know, SubhanAllah,
you look at the impact. This event,
20, 50 years later, when Sayidna Umar conquers
Jerusalem,
a moment which is etched in history. Sayidna
Umar is coming to Jerusalem to conquer the
city,
not with an army, just he and his
servants, the 2 of them. They come to
Jerusalem from Medina, 1 camel,
and exactly as they shared.
1 day you walk, 1 day I ride.
Even though you're the Khalifa, I'm the slave.
Sayedom said, no. No. No. The journey is
the same. We share. And when the time
came to enter Jerusalem, it was the slaves
turn to ride the camel. So the slaves
said, yeah, Amir, we can't enter the city.
You're the conqueror and ride you're walking, I'm
riding. Let us swap now. I know it's
my turn, but we swap. So he said,
no no no. Fair is fair. So imagine
this
Subha
And that moment
that moment is still today mentioned in the
books of history. Why when we conquered Jerusalem
and InshaAllah we'll do it again so peacefully.
No blood no bloodshed.
Giving over. This is the kind of man
we can easily give our city over to.
The Rabi'ul sallalahu alaihi wa sallalahu alaihi wa
sallalahu alaihi wa sallalahu alaihi wa sallalahu alaihi
wa sallalahu alaihi wa can learn, and, you
know, I speak to myself, to take note
of even the
the most unimportant people in your community.
You know, when we get our WhatsApp messages,
we know, oh, the boss sent me a
message. I need to respond.
The wife said the message, I hope that's
1 of the important you know, you pinned
him. That's important.
Chats I too. But then, okay, so and
so sent me a message. Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
sometimes mom sends a message and I'll get
back to her. I'll get back to her.
But Rabi al Salam is busy with the
affairs of the state, the government, and the
affairs of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, yet he
knows what's happening with even the junior most
people in his community.
Said Nabi's son was a young boy, young
man,
and the Nabi salalam would see him in
the Masjid and see him engaging and talking
to his friends. And so sayid Omar says
but he say Nabi says sorry. Nabi says
this about this young boy who perhaps is
not engaging with an Nabi's indirectly.
I noticed him. He's a good boy. Masha'Allah.
Abdullah is what an excellent man he is.
The Nabi Salam is choosing a young man.
He identifies as what an excellent young man
this you are, oh
Abdullah. If only you made him more a
little more tahajjud, you will be super excellent.
After that, it's Abdullah bin Umar never missed
Hajjut,
and he becomes the senior most companion
in the next generation. When all the his
father say, now Umar and Abu Bakr passed
away, say, Abdullah bin Umar is the most
senior man and this remained with him. The
Nabi
noticed me as a good person and said
just do a little bit more tajjat.
And he never let an elective pray.
Rabi, he also found value in every single
person. How many of us have team teams
are also guilty of this. And, oh, if
I only can get rid of these 2,
3 people,
there's nothing I can do with him. They
just need to go on and do me
a favor and just resign or something, win
the lotto and quit. You know? Then
Nabi had a function. Every person has something
to contribute.
The battle of Uhud, 1 of the young
men, Zaid ibn Thabit, we all know this
very famous companion. You should know him. SubhanAllah,
you should know him. Everyone who recites the
Quran, you owe this. This is the number
1 Hafid of all the Sahaba. Zaid ibn
Abid, number 1 halfth. The main halfth.
He comes to the battle of of Uhud.
He's still a young boy, 14, 15.
All his friends are allowed to join the
army, but Zaid was a scrawny guy. And
so the Rabbi said, no. You Zaid, you
need to sit this 1 out. Completely
demoralized. You know, young boys, imagine you you
on the bench, you think about this. Everyone
is going to play in the World Cup.
You're not gonna get you're not good enough
on the bench, kicked out of the team,
completely broken, demodelized.
After the battle, the Nabisun said to Zayd,
come come, my boy. You're a very smart
guy. Maybe you don't have muscles here. Hey.
You're a smart guy. I want you to
be my personal secretary.
When I write a letter,
I can't read and write, so you will
read to me. And masha'Allah, you know Hebrew
because he grew up in Madinah. I want
you to be my ambassador with the Jews
when you communicate
with them. And when I get wahi from
Allah because you can read and write, you
take it down. You be my scribe. You
will be my secretary.
Based on that, Zayd radhiallahu an, he was
always with the Nabi Salam, and he received
the revelation. When the Nabi Salam receives the
revelation, he's the first man taking the minutes,
the secretary.
Therefore, when the prophet away
and Said no Baqir said we need to
put the Quran together in a book in
a mushaf in a book, they said who
is the most knowledgeable half with amongst us?
Everyone said, Zaid. 18 year old Zaid, he
knows more Quran than Abu Bakr, and Umar,
he is the best half with amongst all
of us. Zaid, you are the 1 that's
going to write the Quran into a must
have, SubhanAllah.
Nabi understood
everyone's potential is different and he had a
place for everybody.
And, Nabi so he takes note of everyone.
Another
very interesting example, in his final battle of
his life, the last battle of the Nabi's
life was also the biggest in terms of
number. Every battle, the Muslims are getting 1
1 more called the Battle of Tabuk.
Tens and thousands, 30, 40000
Muslims joined this battle.
And midway in the battle, the Nabi Muslims
said, where's Kaab?
Kaab is 1 of the companions,
and he even says, I know Kaab got
a new camel.
Imagine, he knows who's missing in 30, 000
people, and he also knows Kaab should be
here because he just got a new camel.
I understand if he didn't have a camel,
he can't be part of the army, but
he's got AII I'm I'm
and this is amazing.
It's a very difficult quality, but imagine
you I mean, just imagine you're the CEO
of some big company. Well, you can't compare
the Nabi Salam to I mean, imagine, but
you're the CEO of some company. And you
know, I I didn't see auntie so and
so. She's the the janitor, the cleaning lady.
How's her son doing? I know she was
in hospital. Because so and so, how you
know, his daughter got married.
What do you think this does
to the men that are underneath you,
your companions?
He is not scrutinizing
me for keeping check on me, but he
knows the situation of my life. He knows
what's going on, and he feels my absence.
The same with the cleaning lady of Masjid.
When she died we all know this hadith
that the lady who cleaned the Masjid was
a slave lady. When she died, she died
in the middle of the night. So the
Sahaba,
the Husalda, her and they made janazah and
they buried her.
The rabbi says, the next morning, he said,
where's auntie so and so? I don't see
her. So he said, yeah, she died. She
passed away, so we buried her. And he
was so sad. Why didn't you call me
to do the janaza?
They thought,
you were too busy to make janaza on
the janitor, on the cleaner. She's not so
important to you.
For him, what did he do? And he
didn't do this for any any other Sahaba.
He went to Hakobr, and he made a
janazul salah. He said, no. You should have
told me.
You should have told me. I wanted to
make janazul salah on this on this auntie.
Now sometimes you always can't be the good
guy.
You can't be the good guy. You have
to be
stick dad,
bad dad. I don't know. Fun there's fun
dad. Not fun dad. You have to be
the manager who reprimands. The nabi's job is
not just to be fun time nabi and
smile and be happy and say MashaAllah, it's
okay. When they made mistakes, he had to
reprimand them, and this is a skill of
the Nabi Salam.
1 of the traits of the Nabi Salam
is he praised
publicly.
He mentions the success of people publicly.
People feel so demoralized when they do something
good and they get overlooked. He made a
point of praising, Abdullah, you're such a good
man.
What an amazing person this 1 is. You
are the best of Azayd.
But when he had to reprimand, he did
it privately,
he didn't mention their names, and if he
had to do it publicly, he would do
it in such a wonderful, wonderful way,
and he did it depending on their their
level.
You know, the reprimand
the kindergarten child the same way you reprimand
the university professor. You should know better, so
we go harsh with you even though I
love you more. We'll get that.
So Anas says
and who is Anas? Anas is another young
boy who got to live and grow up
at the hands of the Rabi Salam. When
the Rabi Salam comes to Madinah,
after the hijrah,
he comes there and people are coming to
the Rabi Salam giving him barakat.
Some sisters. Here are some dates. Come to
my house. I'm gonna host you. Auntie comes.
A lady comes and she says, here's my
son Anas. He's 6 years old. He is
yours.
Meaning, whatever you need, Anas will fix it.
Whenever you want something done, Anas is your
boy.
Okay? I'm stuck with you now. So now
Anas is with an every day, and that's
why how many hadith and Anas in Anas
said, this is that Anas.
Anas said, I met Nabi, al Salam, when
I was 6, and when I when he
died, I was 16, 10 years. The happiest
day of my life was the day I
met him. The saddest day of my life
was when he died. And in that 16
years in that so rather in that 10
years, not once did he reprimand me in
a way that I felt bad. For and
here's an example.
Anas is saying and this is a boy
who got to see the Nabi Salam personally.
He says that Rasulullah was the best of
all men in character.
1 day
he sent me to do an errand and
I said
to Abu Bakr Weyver.
Said Anas says, I said to Nabi's Muslim,
I swear by Allah that I will I
I will I I will not do it.
He's telling them, I'm not gonna do it.
Nabi's Anas, go do this for me, my
boy. And I said, no. Wallah, not gonna
do it, Yarasulullah. I don't wanna do it.
He's because he's a boy. And then Nabi
said, but in my heart, I felt that
I should go. So Nabi said, but I
felt I should go and do what the
messenger commanded me to do. So the rabbi
left him when he said, I'm not gonna
yeah. No. I'm busy. I'm playing PlayStation now.
You do it. He's saying to the rabbi
salaam like this. Right? But he felt, okay.
Eventually, I must go. So then he got
up and he went. So I went out,
but on my way to deliver whatever, I
saw boys playing in the street, so I
started playing with him. I started playing with
him in the street.
Then, now time goes by, he doesn't know
how long he's been playing in the street.
All of a sudden, the Nabi Sun came
up behind me, and he caught me by
the back of my neck.
When I looked at him, he was smiling
at me, he was laughing at me, and
said, Oh Anas, go and do what I
ordered you to do, oh little Anas.
He said, Yes, yes, I'm going to do
it now, you Rasool Allah. This is,
SubhanAllah,
the way in which the Nabi Salam engages.
How do you think this makes Anas feel?
You can't a 100 almost a 100 the
Nabi's son passed away when he was 16.
He lived to almost a hundred, but Nabi's
son was his man, was his hero, was
his icon, and he would tell the the
ummah what a great person the Nabi Salam
was. The Nabi Salam didn't have to tell
Anas, record my hadith. You tell them what
I did. He just had to by example,
Anas admired him. And so the Rabi understands
Anas is a small boy. He's 6, 7,
8, 9. He's gonna play PlayStation. He's gonna
be
so the is soft with him. Another beautiful
example is the better 1.
We all know this hadith. The better 1
comes in the Masjid, and he embraces Islam.
He's a Muslim. And then in the middle
of salah, he breaks off and he stands
in the corner, and he urinates in the
salah.
Now if any of us did this
now think about this. How many times someone
walks in the
doesn't smell right? We think, oh, he's just
here for begging. You know? We always wanna
chase him at the man. We're gonna stand
here. Chase, fail. Oh, we do this. We
do this. Imagine he then went to the
corner and he urinated the Masjid. We that's
of the after Jamar. That that put that
would be dead. And that's exactly what was
gonna happen. The Sahaba
wants to jump and pound this guy, and
then I'm gonna stop. Leave him. Let him
finish. Also,
his wisdom, why let him finish? You pick
the man up. He's going to urinate all
over the Masjid. Leave him. Let him finish.
And then when he was done, the Nabi
says, Ajay, come here. Come. Let me speak
to you. And so the Nabi Muslim explains
to him, this is a masjid. We make
salaiah, and this is a place that we
worship Allah and we are pure. If you
want to urinate,
go outside. The Nabi's understand this man is
a bedouin. He doesn't know any better. This
is how he lives. He urinates in his
own house like this. And so the bedouin
says, and this is a beautiful part, the
bedouin says, may Allah have mercy on you,
oh, Mohammed, and me and nobody else. Just
the 2 of us. May Allah have mercy
on the 2 of us. These guys all
wanted to beat me up. So then Rizal
laughs and he says, you've tried to take
something very, very big, Allah's mercy, and make
it very small. Rather, Allah's mercy is for
everybody. Wow. Just
an amazing
moment.
However, this is an us and a better
1. They don't know any better.
He can also be harsh and
strict with those who should know better.
Mu'ad ibn Jabal
Now, this is a senior companion. In fact,
Mu'adh and these are companions we should know.
Mu'adh radiAllan. Do you know what the Nabiun
said about Mu'adh? The Nabiun says on the
day of Qiyama, when all the fuqaha, Imam
Shafi, Abu Hanifa, all of them are going
to be called. Those who pass judgment in
the laws of fiqh,
their imam is Mu'adh.
So you are a professor Mu'adh.
You are someone that the Nabi Salam has
made a leader, a governor.
The Nabi Salam said,
Jabal laid his companions in Ishae I Salah.
So Mu'ad is now the Imam. He's leading
Salah, and he made Ishaei long. He's
a man of Tajjud and so he lived
a long ishay, badshat too long. And during
the salah, a man broke his salah and
he left. And he went to go pray
by himself. This is too long now. I've
got things to do. And Mu'adh was told
about that, and Mu'adh says, dad Buta is
a Munafiq. How can you break salah and
just go like that?
And when that man, the the the Sahabi
heard
he went to complain
He said,
long. I couldn't stand so long. So so
I broke it and I wait. Then he
called me.
You Rasulullah, what what do you think he's
gonna do? Who do you think he's gonna
reprimand? Reprimand? The Nabi calls Mu'adh, and he
says, Are you a fitna, makin Mu'adh? You
wanna break the jama'? You wanna cause disunity
in the in in my in my
my in my community?
Ma'al. We now what is harsh as Ma'al?
You you are causing you wanna make salah
long, masha'Allah, but you
cause the whole jama'ah to be upset to
the point where someone now breaks his salah.
You should know better Mu'adh. So then Nabi
says, Umu'ath,
when you lead the people in salah,
recite.
Keep it short.
You keep it short.
And when you, and
keep it in the short salah and basically
when you and
and, recite short Surahs when you lead the
imam. So it's part of the fiqh of
the imam that if the Jama'ah gets frustrated
with you, you shouldn't be the imam. You
recite in a certain way that the Jama'ah
doesn't like, it's bad because you must want
people to recite it. But when you wanna
make salah on your own, you can then
make as much tajjud as you want. And
so very, very these are harsh words. Where
is the soft nabi? Where is oh, anas,
you know, Bedouin, may Allah have mercy on
you. This is an imam for what is
his crime? I made too much salah. No.
You should know better. And that's why also,
not immediately after this, but towards the end
of his life, the Nabi's about to die,
and now he's saying his final goodbyes.
Mu'ad is 1 of the people he got
to say a final goodbye to because Mu'ad
is now going to Yemen as a governor,
and the Nabis knows I'm not gonna see
you again. And now you know who Mu'ad
is. That was a better 1. We were
soft with him because he's not close to
me. The Nabi's was hard on the ones
he'd have the most. He was hard on
those closest to him. I expect better from
you. And so he says to Mu'adh, Umu'adh.
Mu'adh is telling us the hadith before I
went to Yemen, he called me and he
says, Umu'adh, I swear by Allah that I
love you.
SubhanAllah.
Many Sahaba loved the Nabi salaam, but there
were very few that he said these words,
I love you.
And he says again,
I love you.
And then he says, I advise you,
do not forget after every salah
to say, Ummad, I love you. Now also,
how is he giving he's telling he's teaching
you, make a dua. If he said, du'a,
make this du'a. Don't forever forget.
Oh, Allah, help me to remember you, and
help me to make shukr of you, to
thank you, and help me to worship you
in a proper way. He didn't say Muad,
make this not this dua. He says, Muad,
I love you. I love you. Make this
dua and he advised him and then he
went to, when he went to to, to
Yemen. Advised him, and then he went to,
when he went to to, to Yemen. When
he had to reprimand people and sometimes
your people make big mistakes. Sahaba also made
big mistakes. 1 of the companions,
he
kind of betrayed the Muslims in a battle.
Rabi Salam was about to invade Makkah, to
conquer Makkah, and he wanted to do this
stealth
without the Quraysh knowing. Because once if you
capture him on surprise, there's no battle. I
can just easily take over Mecca without any
bloodshed. And when the when the Nabi Sun
was about to dispatch the army, 1 Sahabi
sent a letter, the Muslims are coming.
The story why the Sahabi, his name is
Hatib.
Hatib.
So
when the plot came out that Hatib sent
a secret letter to the Quraysh informing them
the the reason called him, you you know,
Saeed Na'omir's
way of solving his management style? Very simple.
Remove
the nick of this munafiq. Alright. That's Sayidna
Umar's default position. How do we deal with
this guy? Remove the neck. Oh, Hatib. So
now the Nabi Muslim says to Hatib, Oh,
Hatib, why what did you what obliged you
to have done this? I want to understand
why would you do my suhabi? Why would
you do this? And so then Rabi says,
so he says, oh, You Rasulullah,
and he says, 0000,
Allah's messenger, why for what reason should I
not believe in Allah and His mission? I
have not done this because I'm a kafir,
but I did this because my family is
in Makkah and I was worried of the
safety and security and in my heart I
believed even with my letter Allah will intervene.
There is no way Allah is going to
allow you to lose. So it was a
win win. This is my reasoning.
Sayyidina Umar says, I don't buy this here.
So the Nabi says, say, no. Omar, don't
you know? Now this is it. This is
the point for us as fathers, leaders.
Your subordinates may make a big mistake.
Don't forget the 10 years of service that
they did to get there. Don't forget all
the times they did good things. They dropped
the ball this time. They made a big
mistake. So then say then he tells say,
no. Say, no. Then our business says, say,
no.
Omar, wasn't heart Ibad Badr with us? When
we needed him at Badr, he was there.
This man has a lifetime of legacy of
good.
He made a mistake now,
and so Allah has forgiven his sins.
This 1 is overlooked, and so this is
something for us to learn in marriage,
in our relationships.
Your best of friends, your colleagues, your wife,
your husband might let you down. Don't throw
away 20 years of of of success, of
goodness
because of 1 mistake. Even if it's a
big mistake, we all make mistakes. This was
a big 1 for Hatib. He genuinely I
mean, this is treason. But then we said,
but he was with us at Badr. So
we overlook this 1 because he was with
us at Badr. To end
off, every Sahabi, if you can do this,
you would be great. If every employee,
every child, every person you engage Sahabi
genuinely
Every Sahabi
genuinely believed
I was the favorite of the Nabi Salam.
And this is this, this last hadith we
mentioned is 1 that we should all know.
There's a Sahabi called Amr bin Al-'As. The
name stands with a lot of names. Amr
radiaallan is 1 of the latest Sahabi. He's
not Abu Bakr or Umar's quality. He comes
much later. He becomes
AAA Muslim. He embraced Islam quite late. And
after he embraced Islam, the Nabi Muslim gave
him a promotion. You're going to be a
leader of an expedition. Ah, so he felt
good.
And he promoted Nabi's promoted him above Sayin
al Bakr and Omar and Ali's. So, sir,
Amr believed, Aish. I'm I'm I'm the main
guy. Now they come back from the expedition,
and they explain what happened and Amr did
a good job. He was a good leader.
You know? He won the battle, and then
Abu Sim obviously praised him. Now imagine the
scene. You're in the masjid. Abu Bakr is
there. Umrah is there. Umrah is there. And
so, Umrah is there, yeah, Rasulullah,
why not tell us who do you love
the most? Who's your favorite among us? He
asked the question publicly, and the rabbi was
asked like, this is an awkward kind of
question. Why are you asking a question like
this? And now I wanna know, who's your
favorite? Why is he asking it? He believes,
I'm of you, my favorite.
So that was, the prophet says, oh, Aisha
Aisha is my I love the most. So
Aisha, my wife. How many of us would
say that to Anubha? How many of us
would say that? Just point here.
Aisha isn't there. This is the man, the
man. She's not there. He's not trying to
give her some some I love you for
the brownie points because I wanna watch the
cricket tomorrow. Right?
He's saying Aisha because he genuinely wants to
know, this is my wife. She's my favorite.
I she's she has my heart. So then
Amr said, no. No. Not that kind of
love, you Rasool Allah. Amongst the mean, who's
your favorite amongst us? So then he says,
Abuha, her father. Again, he didn't say Abu
Bakr. He said her father. Aisha is still
on his mind. Her father, Abu Bakr is
my closest.
So okay, and next is Umar. Oh, next,
Uthman. Then Amr said, keep quiet. Because now
I realized
I'm not on the top of the list,
but he believed he was. And this
is the genius and the brilliance of Nabi
his
ability to reach the hearts of every person
to the point where they
felt, you must love me even more than
Aisha. I'm your favorite, right, You Rasool Allah?
But, well, alhamdulillah, it's something for all of
us to and may Allah grant us to
be the best of leaders to win hearts
and grant us to follow in his sunnah.
