So

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

we said before that the Sahaba of the

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

prophet, the companions of the prophet

00:00:39 --> 00:00:39

are the best,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

the finest there is, the greatest of all

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

time. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

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

has chosen them and selected them to be

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

the companions of the prophet salamu alaykum. If

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

Naqbas radiAllahu anhu says that regarding the Qasir

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

of this ayat and the Quran say, Alhamdulillah,

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

or praise is due to Allah

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

and send your greetings and your blessings

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

to those who have been chosen by Allah

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

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So Ibn Abbas said that

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

the ones who have been chosen

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

are the companions of the prophet

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

So the other ayah that says

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

that the righteous ones are those who, when

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

the name of Allah is mentioned or when

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

the Quran is recited, their hearts are moved,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

their hearts are shaken with iman.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

So in several a'is in the Quran, Allah

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

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says that he has

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

showered his grace and blessings and failures and

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

and forgiveness on the, number 1.

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

Number 2, he is pleased with them, all

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

of them, and all of them are pleased

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

with him. And number 3, he has,

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

promised and prepared Jannah for them.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

And number 4, they are going to stay

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

in Jannah forever.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

This is something they have been promised, and

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

I'm not sure any of us have gotten

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

this promise

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

in our life. Maybe when Allah

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

judges us in the next life, we will

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

know where we'll we'll be.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

We have great

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

hope for the mercy of Allah, subhanahu wa'ala,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

but we know that there is a guarantee

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

for the Sahaba to go to Jannah. This

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

is mentioned in the Quran. It is is

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

mentioned in the hadith. There's no doubt about

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

this.

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

Allah

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

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has preferred and exalted

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

some times and some people and some things

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

over others

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

and He has the right to do so

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

because He is a creator.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala exalted Ramadan over

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

all months

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

He exalted

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

Laylat Tukat over all nights in the year

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

He exalted the day of Arafa over all

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

days in the year

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

He exalted Jibreel alayhi salaam over all other

00:04:30 --> 00:04:30

angels.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

He exalted the 5 prophets, Ulul Azm, in

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

the Nur by Ibrahim wa Musa 'A'eha Muhammad

00:04:37 --> 00:04:41

above all prophets, Ulul Azm. As Allah mentioned

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

in the Quran, the prophets affirm result, and

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

the Prophet asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala exalted

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

Muhammad above

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

all of His Prophets.

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

So

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

that He exalted some Prophets over others, they

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

are not the same.

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

In the same manner, Allah

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

has exalted some Sahaba over others. They are

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

not the same. All of them are in

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

Jannah,

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

but some of them are a plus, some

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

of them are 8. Okay?

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

So the Sahaba, the Taab Sahaba are Al

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

Albayt, of course, the family of the Prophet

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

and the 10 Sahaba who got the news

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

of Jannah, like Abu Bakr, Uthman, Umar and

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

Ali, and all of them, they are the

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

Taab.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

And the people who witnessed death with the

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

Prophet

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

they are the top.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

The people who gave the pledge to the

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

Prophet

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

for Surat Al Khadabiyyah, under the tree, they

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

are the top. And the scholars agree on

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

this, as these people, these Sahaba, they are

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

the finest among the Sahaba, the best.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

We agreed that Ali Radiallahu Anhu was more

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

qualified

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

for the khilafa than Muawiyah Radiallahu Anhu. And

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

he was more beloved to the prophet

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

than Muawas.

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

And also we agree, all the Muslims agree

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

that Al Hassan al Qanda Hussayid, the grandchildren

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

of the Prophet SAW Salam, were more qualified

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

than Yazid, than the son of Muawiyah. May

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

Allah be pleased with all of them.

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

So what we said about the Prophet SAW

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

Alaihi Wasallam preferring and loving some of the

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

Sahaba more than others, it is not from

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

me, it is from the Prophet SAW Alaihi

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

Wasallam himself in authentic hadith.

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

For example, the Hadith of Amr ibn Aas,

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

he said that the Prophet

00:08:53 --> 00:08:54

used to,

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

give us his full attention when he spoke

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

to us and when he addressed us,

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

so much so that each one of us

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

thought that he is the most beloved to

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

the Prophet

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

every single one of them. So one time,

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

I came to the Prophet and said, O

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

Prophet of Allah,

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

am I, or do you like me better,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

or am I better,

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

or Abu Bakr? So the Prophet said, you

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

know, Abu Bakr.

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

So the prophet said, no Abu Bakr. So

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

then he said, am I more beloved to

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

you or Omar? So the prophet

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

said, Omar.

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

Then Uthman, he said, Uthman,

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

Ali, then Ali.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

Then he mentioned other sahaba, then at the

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

end of

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

So for someone like us

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

to judge the Sahaba and to talk about

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

the differences they had, you have to be

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

at their level to talk about them.

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

Because some of us,

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

So if they did something if some of

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

them did something wrong, they made a mistake,

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

but how to be Nabi Ba Taq and

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

the 3 Sahaba who stayed behind in as

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

mentioned in Surat Al Tawba,

00:12:02 --> 00:12:05

you shouldn't criticize them. You should pick your

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

words when you talk about them, as I

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

said, because you are not in a position

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

to criticize them or judge them.

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

They are the best, they are the fighters.

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

The best example, if your dad or your

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

older brother did something wrong, even if they

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

did something wrong,

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

when you talk to them, you have to

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

be respectful, you have to pick your words

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

when you talk about them in order not

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29

to hurt their feelings

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

or humiliate them in front of the people,

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

So you have to pick your words.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

Said, why do you hate him?

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

He said, because of what happened between him

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

and Ali ibn Abi Talib.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

So this scholar, Abuza Azza said,

00:13:37 --> 00:13:40

the lord of Muawiya Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

is a forgiving lord.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

And the rival or the opponent of Muawiya,

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

which is Ali RadhAllahu Anhu, is a generous

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

man.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

So why would you get involved between a

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

generous lord, a forgiving lord, and a generous

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

man like Ali RadhAllahu Anhu?

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

And he was one of the finest sahaba

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

of the prophet sahaba of the prophet sahaba

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

of the salaam. He wrote the Quran for

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

the prophet sahaba of the salaam. He was

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

one of the scribes. Whenever the revelation came,

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

he used to write for him, and he

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

made jihan with the prophet sahaba of all

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

the time. So what we should do is

00:14:23 --> 00:14:26

to mention the sahabah with whatever is good.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

If something bad happens between them, we keep

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

quiet because we're not in a position to

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

criticize them or insult them. Thus Allah subhanahu

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

wa ta'ala
