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