Elite Followers #17 Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqas RA 12

I was sitting with a sneak Monica and Catherine my boss. So Hannah Klarman, Mr Olympia in Nikka Antonio Hakeem Robicheaux, Lisa threeway, Sully Emery, one of them understanding of the holy. So inshallah today we will be talking about another companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, someone who was considered amongst the eyeshadow Bashara, the 10 people who are giving Glad Tidings in this world of Jana. And we won't be able to cover this person today because there's just so much information about this person. And there are so many accomplishments that this person they had, that it's hard to cover all their their merits in their contributions to Islam in one simple

lecture right now, given the fact that is, Aisha is so late. So the person that we're talking about today was someone that whenever he would come to Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the prophet or a guest sit down would refer to this person as the prophet it is somewhat referred to him as his maternal uncle. And when now let me ask you, if any, if any of you do know that, who is this person, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is referring to as his maternal uncle, anyone can guess?

Who was the maternal uncle amongst the eyeshadow Bashara? The 10 people given the glad tidings in this dunya of Jana?

Any any takers?

Now swear,

not abou Aveda

Hamza was even amongst

palha No, not even.

Not even our bus.

Now I know you're you're trying to try to throw this darts, which I shouldn't have. I should I can just take the name of who was the maternal uncle Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was sad, but we will pass bro the Allahu taala. And he was from the family of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam and he was the maternal uncle of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so admirable, because of your love and and accepted Islam at a very young age at the age of 17. And it was one of those times that even before if you say the history of Islam, there was a place where the prophet sal Allahu Allah was somewhere he would stay. And he will convey his message it was called Double

outcome, even before Tao Arkham had been established,

because of the a lot and and had already accepted Islam. In fact, Saudi Arabia, also the ALLAH and he says that one time there was a time when I was when I had accounted for 1/3 of the Muslims when I had accounted for 1/3 of the Muslims, because he was one of the very first three people to accept Islam. So this is sodomy because we allotted on some other books of history mentioned that he became a Muslim because of the influence of obika Rhodiola at that time, and there were other people such as automatic fan or the Allah de Lyonne Zuber, Ebro awamori Allah and Abdurrahman alpha the allotted time, these great individuals, Aveda. And so there are others who became Muslim because of the

influence of obika The Allah the line and some say that sun Sidon bit of your course or your Ultron was one of those people who actually became a Muslim due to the influence of Oba Claudio Lata Lionel, when it comes to the matters of Saudi Arabia, then it will cost you a lot of time. There are two things that we find amongst his merits. And he will never brag about these two things. But as mentioned the books of history that there are two things that he would basically distinguish himself for. The first thing was that he was a very first person to throw a spear for the cause of Allah subhanho wa taala. And the second one was that he was the only one for whom Rasulullah sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam hoped his parents might be rent might might be his ransom. And this actually happened in the Battle of a HUD on this day, which we all know that it was a day where there were a lot of Muslim casualties. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he was standing next to sighs and also the alotta line and he says, throw outside me, my father and mother be your ransom. And so this is something that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never said this to any other Sahabi no matter how close they were even a person like obika, the Allah Denine but he said this to side the minimal cost or the along the line. I leave now you told him about the Allah Allah says I never

heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam hoping his parents may be made ransom someone's ransom, except for Saudi Arabia because of your low time. And it was on the day of a hunt. Something else at the province something else that we find about Saudi Arabia, also the alotta line, which makes him very unique compared to all the others. haberle yawata Antoine, was his prayer. And when I say prayer, I mean his dua. He was a person who was ready

canonized amongst us a habit of your lot and I'm home, that if he made any dua, if he made any dua than that, do our word come to a person and that's why the Sahaba or the Allah that I know, they would make it a point not to make sadhana also the alot and I'm upset about anything because if he was upset about something, then he would say something and it would stick to that person. Just like we know that the the attitude of the Quraysh who were living in Makkah, they knew that if the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said something, it would most certainly happen. Likewise, the Muslims had this attitude when it came to Saudi Arabia because of your water. And in fact,

there's a story about this too about the power of his dua. It says that one day Sargon of Akkad with Yolanda Han was sitting and a man sitting right in front of Saudi Allah Tala and he begins to say derogatory statements and comments about not only Ali Baba Butalbital the Allah tonight, but also about Zuma Ebro Zubaydah, the Allah Quran, and what happened was that Saddam because of Yolanda and came to this man, and he says that please stop what you're doing. I'm not I'm not comfortable with how you're talking about these great individuals, you should not talk about them and you should not slander them. And this person, he continued to go on silent on your canceled yawata I'm told him

that if you continue to curse these people, then I have no other choice, but to make dua against you. Now this person says that you are threatening me as if you are threatening me as if you are a prophet. So what Sargon because of the Allah on did is that he did not pursue this matter any further. He simply went, he made Moodle, and he prayed to the consulate. And he began to make dua to Allah subhana wa Tada and he says in his dua, that Oh Allah, if you know that this man has insulted people who have already been granted by you that which is the best, and his cursing of them has annoyed you then make an example out of him. This is the dua of saga because of the hola Denine.

After warning this man several times, it says that a there was a stray camel, that people they say is mentioned in some narrations that no one knew exactly where this camel came from. And it went into a gathering as if it was looking for this particular person. And it came to this person and it attacked this person. And he began to kick this person in the stomach. And this camel began to kick this person in the stomach until this person he lost his life. Now it was not something that it was something that started on because of the Allah Donna was hoping for. But here we find that this is just one example and I will be showing some examples next week in sha Allah because there were some

incidents that took place during the time of owning a hotel or the allotted time, when he was serving as the Khalifa there was some important expeditions that he which he was part of, and he made some dual eyes. So we were talking about that next week. But here I just want to just give you one example that how Sadhguru Casa de Allah Denine he was considered as Mr. Jabu Dawa.

Something else that we find about sadhana because of the Allah Tala Ananda when it came to wealth, he was not one of those kinds of people who did not have wealth. He was a person who was extremely gifted by Allah subhanho wa taala. He was blessed by Allah subhanho wa taala. In fact, it says that when he went to accompany those who also Allahu Allah, he was sending them in the season of hydrogen. And we know that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he only performed one Hajj. So when sadhana rocastle, the Ultra and when with the Prophet alayhi salam, he fell ill in Makkah, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he went to go visit him, and salvo Casa Viola, that iron

and this is a Hadith as mentioned, in many different books of Hadith, that Sadhguru because of your water and felt, he had this feeling as if you will not be able to live any further. So when he began to ask those who also Allahu alayhi wa sallam is that I only have one daughter right now, and the books of history mentioned that he had kids. I mean, he had more than just that one daughter. But at the time when he went to Makkah, he only had one daughter, and that he was visited by Roswaal sallahu alayhi wa sallam, he asked, Ross also Allahu alayhi wa sallam that can I contribute two thirds of my wealth for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam, he refused, he says, No, you cannot. Then he says that can I give half of my wealth for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. And the Prophet SAW Allah Islam says, No, you cannot. Then he says that can I give 1/3 and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says yes, and 1/3 is too much. And so in the Prophet it is some also advised him that you

should leave something else for your families now is based on this hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this advice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, after sadhana because of Yolanda and had asked for giving his wealth, the Anima and the Fatah, they say that based on this hadith that no person who is about to pass away can assign more than 1/3 for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala out of his own wealth, so if a person is about to pass away, and he says, that I write in my will, that I want to give two thirds of my wealth or half of my wealth for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala, then that request in your will, will be nullified and you will not be

accepted. If there is one if there's any amount that a person can give for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and from the wealth that he's leaving behind, based on this hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it can only be 1/3 and it cannot be more than 1/3 and that's why if anyone makes us we'll see before he passes away, of which will come out to be more than 1/3 of his wealth than that we'll see here will not be accepted of that person. Something else that we don't know about South Africa the Ultron is a one day the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sitting with his Sahaba of the Allah Tala anenome and his eyes gaze on the horizon, while listening to what

is being revealed secretly in by in, you know, very quietly, he then looked at the Sahaba Rhodiola that I knew him and he said, A man who belongs to Paradise, a man who belongs to paradise in a person who belongs to Janna will soon appear. So the Sahaba of the Allah Tala, I'm home, they began to wait anxiously to see who that person was in the person who appeared was the admin it will cause roll your waterline. Now later on Abdullah ibn Ahmed,

Ibn Allah's Rhodiola on he asked him that to please tell him that what exactly did he do that gave him this? This prestigious position of the Prophet sallallahu ala he was sending him having said that he is from the people of Ghana. Now believer now, you know, when we talk about the question of Bashar, this is not the time when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he referred to the ashram Bashar, there was actually another time when all the Sahaba of the Allah on whom they were sitting with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then he says Oba kerferd Jana, Omer, Phil, Jana Orth, Manfield Jana, and he went through the whole list. It was in that list, that the name of

sadhana Lucasta, Viola time was mentioned. But this was another time that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that a person will appear who will be from amongst the people of Jannah, which tells us that there was not only one time during the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that the Prophet alayhi salam said that sadhana we were part of the alotta and we'll be going into Jannah there were multiple times. There were numerous times where the Prophet SAW Selim, he mentioned about Saudi Arabia, cos entering into Jana. And here this man, he asked Sadhguru, a pastor, what do you do? Please tell me what do you do so that I can do the same thing. And I can be

from the people of Jana, and Solomon, because of Yolanda Violetta and he says, Nothing more than that the worship that I do, and you do the same worship, except that I don't carry any kind of hatred in my heart towards any Muslim. And this is something that we learn from Salima rocastle, Viola line. Now, there's something there's something I want to there's a comment I want to make about this. When it comes to the matters of others, and there are there are times in our life that we are actually hurt by others. Like for example, in the case of Rasulullah sallallahu. It was setting him that he was hurt by the actions of washing, that he killed the uncle of Rasulullah

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now, even though why she came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah subhanaw taala revealed some ideas regarding watchI and how Allah Subhana Allah is willing to forgive watchI at the same time, what do we learn from here from simulcasts of YOLO that is that if someone has done us wrong, if someone has done us wrong, we should firstly first of all, try to forgive that person. Try to forgive that person that makes a person bigger and that makes a person above the other person and that person will be truly appreciated by Allah subhanho wa Taala because Allah says for men alpha will also have a God who Allah Allah, on the other hand, was

important to note is that if someone has done us wrong, then I'm not saying that you completely forget about it because there are many situations that we cannot forgive if we cannot forget about the situation. Yes, we may say that you know, the matter is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa taala. We may say that I forgive the person but we don't forget about the situation.

And I'm not saying that we should forget about the situation or we have to forget about the situation. Because even when it came to the matter of washing of your waterline, the Prophet SAW Allah while he was salam giving clear instructions, that washi when you come to my gathering, I don't want you to, I don't want you to be sitting right in front of me. Because every single time you sit in front of me in ICU, I have these flashbacks about my uncle hums out on your waterline. And whenever I think about hunger, or the alotta line, it hurts my heart. So it's not like he had any hatred or malice in his heart for washing or the alotta line. But at the same time, we

understand that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did express the fact that these memories do come back these flashbacks do occur. So what I'm trying to say by this is that it shouldn't be, we should try to forgive the other person, we should try to forgive the other person. If we're not willing to forgive the other person, we should not continue to back by about that person. We should not say anything about that person, but we should leave the matter in the hands of Allah subhanho wa taala. And finally, if we do forgive the person, and if we don't forget about the matter, then that is still okay. It's not really something that we should really be hard, would be hard upon

ourselves, because there are many people who say that I have forgiven the person, but I cannot forget about the situation. So am I Is it is it equal to me forgiving that person? And the answer is yes, just like the prophet has some He forgives the washi. In that case, when it comes to Sargon of Akkad for the alotta and something else that we find about him very, which is very amazing. Is his firmness and faith, his firmness and faith. As we know that there is a single resource Allahu alayhi wa sallam la ka tele Maha Yoga and female certain Harlock that no one can please someone while they're displeasing Allah subhanahu wata Allah. And so in the case of sodwana Wakasa, the Allah

Allah Allah Allah and it says that when he became a Muslim, his mother had vowed that she will not eat anything until sodwana Possibly Allah Tron does not renounce his or he does not give up his religion. So what happened was that cyber Casa Viola Dawn, he heard about this, but this did not waver him this did not affect him this this threat that his mother made, that she will not take a single morsel of food, even though she may lose her life. This did not affect Solomon because of your logline. And he said that his mother had become so weak to such a point that some fear that she may pass away. And someone told Solomon and because of the Allah Rhonda, why don't you go and visit

your mother, when he went to go visit his mother. Again, he was very adamant. And he made it very clear to his mother, that even if I was given multiple lives, I will lose each one of them. I mean, you know, if you are given multiple lives, and you lost each one of them, I still will not give up my dean, I will not give up my Islam. And that's why when the mother she saw this determination, and this conviction of Solomon because of the Rhodiola iron, she gave up her vows she gave up her her oath, and she began eating again. So this is something else that we learn and Subhanallah even in the Quran, we find reference of this where Allah subhanaw taala and started off he says, what was

slain Allah in Saturday? Well today here Santa humbler to OMO one and Allah wa wa Prasad goofy, I mean, initially when he validator illegal so you were in Jaha Dhaka this is actually sort of Lachman way in Jaha Dhaka Allah and to snicker beam, laser like A B E. L. Moon Furla to Houma. Allah subhana talks about the importance of respecting parents revering our parents showing them honor and dignity. But at the same time, Allah Subhanallah says we're in Jaha Dhaka Isla and two shikigami if they push you to commit shaved with me, Allah and Gabi Malley, silica be here Aleman phala to to Houma, Allah Subhan says do not obey them. And this is a rule across the board. If our parents are

telling us to do something which are against the laws of Islam, than in that kind of situation, I'm not saying that we be disrespectful to our parents, but in a very, in in a very wise manner. Applying Hikmah tried to advise them that they cannot be obeyed in that particular situation. That doesn't mean that they cannot be obeyed at other times, just only in that one thing that they are telling us they cannot be obeyed and this is something that we find in the in the Quran, and in the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Finally one last thing I want to share with you and then we'll continue the story of Solomon because of the allotted time, next year, next week in

sha Allah

is the fact that silo because of the Allah Tala and he witnessed the times of the holy fire Rajini

And he witnessed the the conflict that took place between the Allah Tada, and in Wailea and the and he was there at a time when Orth, mono Viola Denine. He was, he was murdered. And he was shaheed. And so because there was so much turmoil taking place at that time, it said that many are majority of the Muslims, I will say that they had taken different sides, some took the side side of the Ultra and some to the side of why we will be allowed to line. But the question is that what did Saudi because of your love, and I have to do, and this is something that we learned. This is a great lesson for all of us is that in a community, when there are people who are trying to create

conflict, if there are two groups, for example, if there are two groups in any community, and this happens in communities all the time, if there are two groups that are you know, butting heads with one another, and they're in continuous conflict, then first of all, what is the Quran tell us to do Allah subhanaw taala. And the Quran says, Why employ if autonomy and mini Nepata do for us the Kobe nakoma. If there are two people who are in conflict, then try to come in the middle as a mediator without any biasness as being as neutral as possible, try to come and resolve the matter between them foster Kobe number for him, but

the court will not either, but he hated the fee umbrella. Now, once it has been determined that which group is correct, and which group is the guilty party, then you have to try to persuade the one that is guilty that they stopped doing exactly what they're doing. In the case of Simon the cost of the Allah Tala and he was a person who did not take either side. He did not take either side. And this is once again a lesson for all of us that if there are two groups, and there are people who have already tried to intervene, and they have tried to do so in reconciliation amongst those two groups, but reconciliation is still far beyond, or is out of the picture at that moment. What should

the other people in the community do? Saga rocastle, the alotta on teaches us a very valuable lesson, he teaches us that you should not take either side, you should not take either side. And so silent because of yawata. And during this time, what he did was that he simply went to another place. He bought a bunch of he bought a bunch of animals, and he began to take care of them. And he just kept himself completely out of the picture with all this conflict that is taking place. There's a story actually related to this matter. It says that a person by the name of Alfred st, even even a

hot IJA he says that I made dua to Allah subhanho wa taala, after the death of automatically allowed to dine. And when all this conflict was brewing in the community, he says that I make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala that please show me a path show me what should I do in this particular matter? Because I'm extremely confused. So this person, he says that I went to sleep at night, and he says that I saw a dream. And in this dream, he says that I find myself between the dunya and the ark era. And he says that I came across I came across a group of angels. And I asked these people as these angels rather than where are the shahada, I want to see or smell or the allow tonight. And so the

angels told him that the martyrs we are here, but the martyrs and the Shuhada are even higher than us. So it says that so this person, and Hassan Al Hussein, he says that I went further up, and he says that I did not see the shahada, but I came across Rasul Allah that Allah Allah He was in them, but also as a law. What he was saying was not alone. He was accompanied by Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu was Salam. He was accompanied by the Prime Minister was Salaam. And at that time, it said that Ibraheem Alehissalaam in fact Rasul Allah hadI was some he says to Ibraheem Alehissalaam that oh Ibrahim Ali Islam, please make is still far from my OMA This is the Prophet SAW Allah Assam to Ibrahim Ali Assam

to make mcfa for his ummah, the Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu was Salam says so, SO SO LONG while you're setting them that you do not know what your ummah did after you left, they began to kill one another and they began to shed blood. Ibraheem Alehissalaam as being the Khalifa of Allah subhanho wa Taala then said, I wish Subhan look at this amazing statement made by Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu was Salam about who about about this person he says I wish they would have done as my close friend side but I'm Lucas had done. This is Ibrahim alayhis salam talking about

Is hobby of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because he did not take any position he did not take either side. Allah per se he says that when I woke up when I woke up I went to Santa Monica. So the Allah tried to tell him about his dream. While all this was taking place sad, as I said sad, because of the time he decided to buy and purchase some some sheep, take them towards a certain place where his location will be unknown to the people so that he is not approached by the people. And he was he was happy to hear about the dream. And at the same time, he says the What a loser a person would be Ibrahim Islam would not be would not take him as a Helene and close friend. And so

Al Hussein said that he understood basically from that dream that he should seek the advice of Solomon because of the Allah Tala on and in fact, there are some books of history that I mentioned. And there are some narrations that Solomon ricasoli Allah, I'm told Al Hussein, that just like I have gone and purchase some sheep, and I'm taking care of them, and not, you know, I'm not involving myself in this conflict, I advise you to do the same thing. So Al Hussein, you took the advice of Solomon, because he purchased some sheep, he went to some other place, and he began to stay there. It said that one time, Salma will also do water and he was also approached by his nephew. And his

nephew also asked him, the Why don't you come and why don't you participate. And again, once again, some of them because of your logline, he said something to his nephew, which meant that I want to be left out of the situation. And then solid because of your Lord Ron, he gives us amazing analogy. He says that imagine and I'm going to finish on this inshallah he says that, imagine that we are walking down a road, imagine we're following a path. And all of a sudden in doubt, and on this path, there is light, we know exactly where we're going and where we're where we are heading. But all of a sudden, the lie is taken away, and we're all dark. Now, some people are saying that the path leads

to the right side and there are people who follow Him. There are some people who say that the path is fall is going towards the left side. And there are a group of people who are following that one person, once again, referring to the conflict taking place between Aliona and Ma, we will do a lot going on. But then he says that there are there is another group of people, there's a third group of people who continue to stand as soon as the line is taken away, they stand still at the place where they are. And they stayed there, they either go right they either go left, they want to stay on the right path, and they will continue this path. As soon as the dust settles and the light comes back

on the path then we will continue this path again meaning that right now there is a there is a conflict taking place of the OMA but I'm going to stay on this path and as soon as the fitna is cleared, then inshallah I will continue along this path. So this is because for the Allah that I now after this, after this, he actually did run into my idea of YOLO time, and why we are the allotted time he asked Sagano cos that you being such a companion of resource Allahu alayhi wa sallam winding she you come the middle Why did you not do anything? What was the what was the response of sama Casa de Allah and on you can imagine what was his response? Inshallah we'll cover that next week.

Inshallah we'll cover that What was his response to my little delta and inshallah we'll cover that next week and a lot more about saga Casa de Allah Quran and next week inshallah Zachman. Allah Subhan Allah we humbly so Hanukkah, La Jolla Hamdi, especially the

stuff Heruka will have to be exactly the same when it comes to labor or capital.
