The sahaba companions of the prophet and

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

want to learn from their lives.

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

Quality of the Sahawah of Walu Lawa Alaihi.

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

They always saw it

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

and they're always looking

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

for Halal,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

this provision from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

So before we start about talking about halal

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

and getting your money from halal and resources,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

we give you this story from a famous

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

guy in Egypt. May Allah have mercy on

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

him.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

Sheikesh. He's very famous.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

So a thief was brought before the judge.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

So the judge said, okay. I'm I'm going

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

nuts here.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

I'm not surprised that you stole the money

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

because you're a thief. Okay? I'm surprised

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

how were you were able to open that

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

safe and took the money with a pencil.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

How could you open the safe with a

00:02:43 --> 00:02:43

pencil?

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

So he said, the asshole lies in this

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

verse of poetry.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

With patience, you can achieve anything you want,

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

and with Taqwa,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

even steel and iron become flexible in your

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

hand. Okay? So this is the first.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

So the judge says sentenced him to 10

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

years in jail, not for theft, but for

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

Taqwa. Okay? But because of his extreme

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

In this authentic Hadi, in Muslim of Tawhid,

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

in Sahih Bukhara, and other books of God,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

the prophet says

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

that everything that brings you closer to Jannah,

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

I've ordered you to do. And anything that

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

brings you closer to the hellfire, I told

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

you to avoid.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

No soul,

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

Jibreel has told me, no soul will ever

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

die

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

before getting

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

its risk or provision from Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

Ta'ala. So your risk is guaranteed

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

So fear Allah and don't get the risk

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala by disobeying it

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

because your risk is guaranteed.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

So three things we learned here. Number 1,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

your risk provision is guaranteed

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

by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and He doesn't

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

forget anyone.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

Number 2, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is providing

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

for you from halal resources, but some people,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

they are hasty. They don't they want to

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

get their risk

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

prematurely, so they do haram so they can

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

get the risk. It was coming anyway, so

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

you have to wait for your risk. You

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

do your best, and Allah

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

will take care of the risk. Number 3,

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

avoid the

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

So in this story,

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

with regard

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

to risk provision being guaranteed,

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

So Layman Alaihi Salam spoke the language of

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

the ants as reported in in Surat Al

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

Nabi, the ants.

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

So he spoke to an ant and he

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

said, how much do you eat every year?

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

He's talking about grain of wheat. How many

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

grains of wheat do you eat every year?

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

She said, 2.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

So he gave the 2 grains to the

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

ant and after a year he came back,

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

he found her. She ate or it ate

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

1 grain and she gets another one

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

for herself.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

So he said, why didn't you eat the

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

other one? So she said or it said

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala was providing for

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

me, and I knew that he would never

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

forgive me. I used to, you know, relax

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

and eat the 2. But now you have

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

taken care of me, and you started to

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

provide for me. I was afraid that you

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

will forgive me, so I ate 1 and

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

I kept 1 for the next year. So

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

Allah

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

So in this Hadith, we regard to avoid

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

the Haram of the law

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36

as reported in Bukhary in Hadith Sayyid Bukhary.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

A servant of his brought him some food.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

So after they ate, the servant said, do

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

you know where I got the food from?

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

He said, I don't know.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

So he said, before Islam, I used to

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

work as a fortune teller.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

So it's a fortune teller.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

Predict the future.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

So he said, that guy came to me

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

and he wanted me to predict the future

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

for him. So I did.

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

I faked it. I pretended I knew the

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

future. I did it. You

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

know? Nobody knows the future except Allah.

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

So he didn't pay me at that time.

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

I predicted the future on credit. Okay? So

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

he now came and he paid me.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

So I bought the food with that money.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

So Abu Bakr the law, we feel so

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

sorry. He

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

stuck his fingers in his throat until he

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

threw up all the food.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

So that some of the people said, may

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

Allah have mercy on you. You didn't know.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

Okay?

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

It was a mistake. You shouldn't have done

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

this. He said, by Allah, if that food

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

didn't get out of my stomach except by

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

my giving up my soul, I would have

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

done it. Then he started to ask Allah

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

to forgive him for the anything that remained

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

in his stomach that he couldn't get out.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

So that

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

much.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

In this story, we conclude with it. Allah

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

is providing you from halal,

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

resources,

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

but some people are hasty. They don't have

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

the patience and they don't have the aqeel,

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

the trust in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, so

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

they try to get it in in illegal

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

or unlawful way.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

In this story, Ali ibn Abi Talib, he

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

went to the mosque to pray, so he

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

left his horse or mule outside with a

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

guy.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

So he said, keep it for a few

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

minutes. I'll be right back with my servant.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

We'll pray and we'll come back.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:36

So

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

by the time he came back, the horse

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

was standing there outside

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

by itself,

00:12:43 --> 00:12:43

and the saddle,

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

such of the horse was not there. So

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

the guy basically stole it, and he ran

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

away to the market to sell

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

It was the intention of to

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

give him as a fee for his service

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

to them.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

That's a lot of money.

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

So he said,

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

He ran away with the saddle, and I

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

was about to give him a gift

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

for the service.

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

He sent his servant to the market to

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

buy a saddle.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:12

So he

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

found the only one there in the market

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

with the saddle was the thief, the guy.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

And he was offering it for sale for

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

what? 2 dirham.

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

So I said, La Hallam, here, take the

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

2 dirham. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala was

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

sending you the money, the 2 dirham in

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

Halam way. Now you took it in Halam

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

way, and you incurred a sale upon yourself.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

We'll conclude and we'll
