00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			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
			this Sunday, 21st
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

00:26:59 --> 00:27:00

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