The history of Hawat Assyouou Al Salih, a new Muslim who claimed to correct people privately, highlights the importance of practicing Islam and learning to be an humble person. The speaker discusses the reputation of the prophet Sunqur Ali Ali Ali, who was the only man to obtain all degrees and all degrees, and describes the experiences of a man who was a drunkard and a womanizer, a man confident in his own abilities and was given a price for buying hadith from the prophet Q acti, and a woman who was confident in her own abilities and was given a price for buying hadith from the prophet Q acti.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			So we mentioned the story of Hawat Ibn
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			Jubayr al Sal. He was a new Muslim
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			in Medina. He was from Medina.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			And the reason I'm giving you this example
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			is the scholars, they should not correct someone
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			in public. Okay? Okay? If someone did something
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			unintentional or out of ignorance, they shouldn't correct
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			this person publicly.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			And the prophet sala al salam used to
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			correct people privately,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			and the only
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			way that we know that he corrected someone
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			is by the fact that this person after
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			the death of the pro would come forward
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			and say,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			I did this and this, and the pro
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			told
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			me this and this. Nobody else knows.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			So the only person himself who come forward
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			and say, this happened, and the pro did
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			this and this.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			Okay? But otherwise, if this person died without
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			telling us what happened between him and the
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			prophet
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			we wouldn't know.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			So Fawaz ibn Jumayil Al Salih, he was
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			a new Muslim. He accepted Islam recently.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			And he went with the prophet
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			to a camp.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			Then he was walking outside the camp, and
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			he saw some girls, beautiful girls, sitting and
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			chit chatting and stuff. So he went running
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			through his tent. He put on his nice
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			and clothes,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			And he said, all of a sudden, I
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			saw the the prophet, sah alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			in front of me.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			So the prophet, sah alaihi wa sallam, said,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			what are you doing here with the ladies?
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			He said, the prophet, sah alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			was
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			I have a wild camel.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			It runs away all the time, and these
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			ladies, Pasha, love me about a board and
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			all that stuff. They are making a rope
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			for me, so I tie the camel so
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			it doesn't run away.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			He
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			said a couple of days later, and this
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			is an authentic kali. He was he said
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			a couple of days later, I was walking.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			Then
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			I heard the prophet was coming behind me.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			People greeting the prophet salaam alaykum. So he
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			heard the the prophet salaam.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			So he started to walk faster so that
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			the promo sauce element wouldn't catch up with
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			him.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			The promo sauce element started to walk faster
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			than him and he caught up with him.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			So he said,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			So the prophet
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			stopped
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			until I caught up with him. And he
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			said,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			by the way, what happened to Yirgen? The
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			wild one you were telling me about. He
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			said, Allah, I didn't know what to tell
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			him.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			I have nothing except you.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			I got all day. Make it
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			long. So I said,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			Then he said,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			The prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, will answer,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			they will put this harp at ease.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			So after he finished, he came to the
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			prophet
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			said, oh, prophet allah, the good news is
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			my camel has accepted this man. It doesn't
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			run away anymore. So the prophet
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			smiled and he left me alone.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			So he corrected him without humiliating him in
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			front of the people.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			The scholar has to practice what he preaches.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			Okay?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			If you talk all the time and we
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			always make this mistake at home, by the
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			way. Those of us who smoke
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			and you don't if you tell your kids,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			if you smoke, you will kill yourself and
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			you'll be an idiot.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			They will always say, okay, look at this
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			hypocrite.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			If the mother tells her kids not to
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			back bite,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			and still she goes and she back bites
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			her neighbor neighbor's wife. Okay. The suck up
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			doesn't know how to cook.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			Okay? Now, the kids will look at their
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			mom and say, okay. She is ahead of
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			her. We would not bathe it. The same
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			is also true for the spouse.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			If they don't practice what they preach, nobody
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			will listen to them.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			In the story from Abu Ghani, some of
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			these slaves, they came to him and said,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			we want you to give an an emotional
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			motivational
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			lecture about freeing the slaves and the virtue
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			of freeing slaves in Islam.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			So he said that Shoaib would do. 3
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			weeks later, he came again a very
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			emotional lecture about freeing the slaves
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			and the people innocently in the Afar Jumah
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			is going to free their slaves in the
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			masjid. So
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			the freeing slaves came to Imam al Hanifa
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			and said, jazakAllah Khayla,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			As color has to be
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			sincere.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			They said, what is your proof? He said
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			in Surat Al Hash Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			says to Ibrahim alaihis salam and proclaim
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			or declare to the people and they will
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			come to you Ijal.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			The word Ejal, it has 2 meanings. 1
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			of them is
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			and number 2, on foot on foot.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			They will come talking.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			So they understood the first one which is
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			the clear meaning and he didn't understand the
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			second one and he made his cut.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			In,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			the prophet, the prophet of Sesali of Lintikhadid,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			regarding sincerity,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			that
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			on the day of judgement, one of the
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			first people who would be judged
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			and punished is someone who learned in
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			this life and got degrees
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			and was teaching people and Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			ta'ala was asking, what did you do with
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			the knowledge I gave you?
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			He said, oh, Allah. I went to the
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			best schools.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			I got my PhD, and I was teaching
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18
			people,
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			and I I I did my best. So
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			Allah subhanahu wa a'ala said, you are alive.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			You studied and you got all the degrees,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			and you're teaching people so they will say,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			oh, he's a scholar, and people will have
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			respect for you. So that was your only
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			intention. You didn't do it for me, Satan.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			In the
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			This is in fact, we just saw about
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			one of the
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			guys. He appeared out of nowhere in Los
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			Angeles, California. I read it in the papers
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			back in 2009.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			He was sleeping in the machine making and
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			together and all that stuff, and people trusted
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			them him with their lives.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			So Ashtariel Al Fitr, he gave to them
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			and said and said, insha Allah,
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			in a month and half, Ayl Abu Bakr
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			is coming. You have to buy udaya. And
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			you know, them guys who were buying udaya
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			from them, they were thieves
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			charging you double the price, giving you bad
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			quality of meat. They're giving you all cheap
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			and goats. You cook them for 2 or
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			3 days, they never cook.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			The meat is like
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			the the the tire in your car.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			No matter how much you buy it or
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			you you cook it, it doesn't cook. These
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			are tools. Okay?
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			So he collected the money from that masjid,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			and of course, his reputation
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			spread to other Masali. So thousands of people
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			trusted him with the money. They paid $250
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			for every goat or sheep.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			The day of it came and the people
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			started to look for mister x,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			So he was notorious. He was the biggest
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			chief in town.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			In conclusion, Shabaab will talk only about
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			from the people and from Allah
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			He has to have this sense.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			The prophet
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			says that shame, the sense of shame,
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			is a part or a branch of iman.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			I conclude with this in the story of
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			al Qadabi. Al Qadabi is one of the
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			biggest scholars of this land that you probably
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			never heard of.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:06
			Okay?
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			Only with scholars of Adi, they know this
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			person, al Qadabi.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			In his youth years,
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			he was a drunkard,
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:18
			a womanizer.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			He was on drugs,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			smoking weed, and crack, and dope, and all
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			that stuff.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:25
			Okay?
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			And one day, he was sitting in front
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			of his house, drinking,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			and he had a small knife in his
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			hand. All of a sudden, he saw this
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:35
			man
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:36
			with a donkey.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			He didn't know this guy,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			and he saw like,
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			hundreds of people walking in front of the
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			donkey, behind the donkey, pulling the donkey, and
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			almost they they would carry the shape. This
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			man on the donkey.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:50
			So
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			He said, what what Shar? What does this
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			guy do? Why are these people walking around
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:08
			like this?
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			They said that this is the most knowledgeable
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			person of hadith on earth. He is the
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			scholar of this time when it comes to
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:16
			hadith.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			And it's a shame if someone at that
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			time didn't know Shoaib in the Hajjesh. He
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			was number 1 in hadith. And this is
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			like I said,
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			like someone asking someone in the Succar,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			field
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			So the people around
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49
			this scholar, Sharpen, they said,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			the people that traveled to him
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			tens and hundreds of miles to come to
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			sit under his feet and take hadith from
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			him, and you are coming to him with
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			a rip close
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			like bad people
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			and with a wide people in one hand
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			and a knife with another, and you are
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			asking him to tell hadith from the prophet
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			what's wrong with you?
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			So he said, wallahi, if he doesn't mean
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			one hadith. If he doesn't tell me one
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18
			hadith right now, I'm gonna kill him.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:19
			So,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			Imam Shorba was afraid for his life. And
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			I always say
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			that the highest score of bravery sometimes is
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			to be a coward.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			And sometimes the most eloquent thing you can
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:32
			say
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			is silence to be quiet. And those who
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			are married, they know what I'm talking about.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			Okay? If you want to be a hero
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			for a couple of minutes and say everything
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:46
			you want, than to be a man who
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			delayed. After 2 hours, then say whatever you
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:49
			want.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			Think of the
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:51
			consequences.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			So he gave him the hadith of the
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			prophet, he said,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			Mansur
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:57
			told me
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:58
			his Sheikh.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			That
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			the prophet
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			said, if you are not ashamed, if you
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			don't have a sense of shame from Allah
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			and from the people,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			do whatever you want.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:19
			So
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			Qa'anabi said, Allah, he he hit me in
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			the heart when he said those words. And
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			I started to think,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			did he mean that I don't have shame
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			Then he went home. He broke all the
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			wine glasses, and he told his mom, when
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			my friends come, told him, I'm not your
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			friend anymore. He shouted to
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			this man, Qad Abi, later became the teacher,
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			the imam of imam
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			of imam a Muslim and imam Qadhi. He
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			is the teacher. If you get
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			the books of Bukhari and the books of
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			Muslims, they will tell you the introduction
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			that we studied the
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:04
			the
