There's a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, actually
there's a quote of Ali ibn Abi Talib
r.a that regarding a particular Sahabi and
the quote of Ali r.a is مَا
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِي ﷺ I have never ever heard
Rasulullah ﷺ يَفْدِي أَحَدًا بِأَبَوَي He has never
ever heard the Prophet ﷺ mentioning both of
his parents being ransomed except for one person
إِلَّا لِسَعَدٍ Except for Sa'ad, Sa'ad
ibn Abi Waqas r.a فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَوْمَ
أُحُدْ يَقُولُ إِرْمِي سَعَدْ فَدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي That
he says that I heard Rasulullah ﷺ saying
to Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqas r.a
that إِرْمِي سَعَدْ Keep on throwing the arrows
keep on shooting the arrows Sa'ad and
then he says may my father and my
mother Be ransomed for you.
Oh Sa'ad Now this is the quote
of Ali r.a and even though by
the way, he did say that There was
no one that the Prophet ﷺ he said
this about However, there was one Sahabi if
you remember one of our previous weeks There
was one Sahabi of the Prophet ﷺ another
Sahabi that he said this about Can you
remember which Sahabi the Prophet ﷺ said فَدَاكَ
أَبِي وَأُمِّي That may my parents be ransomed
for you.
There was one other Sahabi we talked about
Now Abu Ubaidah Now you're gonna start throwing
anything in the dark And that's Zubayr ibn
Awam There was one other Sahabi in that
part of that trio who was really close
to them طَلْحَا طَلْحَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْ Okay,
so طَلْحَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْ He was the
other one However, the ulema have asked or
they have discussed this that why did Ali
r.a say this and perhaps it is
because that this incident happened in the Battle
of Uhud and The incident regarding طَلْحَا رَضِيَ
اللَّهُ عَنْ happened when in the Battle of
Trenches So which came later on so there
was a period of time where the Prophet
ﷺ He said this about only about طَلْحَا
رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْ However majority of the people
or even amongst the learned people They know
this hadith or this honor to be more
exclusive with طَلْحَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْ Because it
is very well known he and his family
and his children They all have narrated this
about their father or their grandfather and so
forth So nonetheless, this is something that the
Prophet ﷺ He said about طَلْحَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ
عَنْ Regarding سَعَد رضي الله عنه is a
very interesting story and a very fascinating life
that he spent First of all is that
he had a relationship with رسول الله صلى
الله عليه وسلم How so?
His father سعد بن أبي وقا So سعد
is the son of a person by the
name of مالك مالك was a son of
a person by the name of وهي Okay,
so سعد is a son of مالك.
مالك is a son of وهي Then on
this on the flip side with رسول الله
صلى الله عليه وسلم.
His mother is آمنا and آمنا's father's name
is Anyone?
آمنا's father's name is آمنا بنت وهب Okay,
so this is the this is the grandfather
the نعنى of the Prophet صلى الله عليه
وسلم So وهيب and وهب were brothers Okay,
وهب and وهيب were brothers So many times
even though سعد رضي الله عنه becomes like
sort of like a cousin to the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم But it was well
known amongst the Arabs that when they would
refer to each other even some of these
kind of cases He would say the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم that is there anyone
who has a خال like an uncle like
سعد بن أبي وقا صلى الله عليه وسلم
سعد بن أبي وقا صلى الله عليه وسلم
before he accepted Islam.
He saw a dream And in this dream
what he saw was that the night was
filled with darkness and suddenly a bright light
Illuminated from somewhere and it is mentioned in
some books that he saw some other people
inside that dream Some books of history mentioned
that he did not see anyone But this
is clear that it was a dark night
and he saw an illuminating light Appearing now,
of course This was on his mind when
he saw this because he has never ever
seen a dream like this the next morning
He went and he began to inquire and
he came across None other than أبقى رضي
الله عنه and he asked him about a
dream of this type and he says that
there is a man who is teaching who
is who is a prophet of Allah and
While many people do not believe in his
claim that he receives wahi from Allah We
believe in in him and we believe that
what he does come from Allah سبحانه وتعالى
to him So he went to the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم and he was approximately
15 16 or even 17 roughly in that
age range when he accepted Islam and by
the way one thing that we need to
learn is and we learned this from many
of the Sahaba رضي الله عنهم That many
of the Sahaba when they converted to Islam,
they were extremely young.
They were not older They were within there
were before like they were right before the
age of 20 or just cross the age
of 20 But you're talking about Shabab These
were young men and young blood who all
came and they accepted Islam on the hands
of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Even
when you talk about Ali رضي الله عنه
Even in the early in the early years
how old was Ali رضي الله عنه when
the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم first received
wahi He was only just 10 years old
You understand so you have these young Young
men who came and they would give their
life for Allah سبحانه وتعالى and believe in
the mission of the Prophet صلى الله عليه
وسلم now Keeping this in mind was Sa
'ad رضي الله عنه when he accepted Islam
his mother took a very interesting vow and
She said that how dare you can denounce
the religion of our forefathers This is not
allowed and then she made a vow that
I will not eat and I will not
comb my hair meaning that I will Keep
my hair Disheveled and let it be this
way until you denounce your deen and I
will not eat anything And of course, you
know, this is something that we learned that
Sa'ad رضي الله عنه because his father
died at a very young age So the
one who he was always with was his
mother Now when the mother has taken this
kind of an oath then he's thinking to
himself that is the mother just bluffing or
is she actually serious and Days began to
go by and she be and she stopped
eating and as a result She began to
become sick and she began to become weak
and frail and fragile And then she even
he Sa'ad رضي الله عنه came to
his mother when he came to his mother
She thought that now Sa'ad will give
in he will he will give in he
will denounce his deen at that time Sa
'ad رضي الله عنه Who says something to
something interesting to his mother?
He says even if Allah gave you a
hundred lives and you gave up each of
your lives Because of this same oath.
I still will not denounce my deen So
you can go and do whatever you want
and based on this There is a very
beautiful ayah of Allah سبحانه وتعالى in the
Quran فَعَلْنَ صُوْتُ الْلُقْمَانِ Allah سبحانه وتعالى says
وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِالْوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن
تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا
تُطِعْهُمَا That if the parents urge someone one
of their children to do something that is
wrong Allah سبحانه وتعالى says فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا Do
not obey them But see the question often
comes up is What do I do if
my parents tell me to do something that
is wrong Should I go?
Should I argue with them?
Should I correct them?
Because when it comes to senior parents They
are very set in their ways The younger
people they feel You know they are always
filled with young blood They always feel the
need that I need to tell my parents
If they are doing something that is right
or wrong Allah سبحانه وتعالى says فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا
Do not obey them But did Allah سبحانه
وتعالى say after that That go and argue
with them That's not what he says He
says وَالصَّاحِبُهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا That be kind
to them So Sa'd رضي الله عنه did
not come Was he disrespectful to his mother?
Absolutely not All that he did was He
disagreed and he stayed firm That I will
not give up my deen No matter how
many times you want to take an oath
And by the way from this There is
a very interesting point I've talked about this
before But this problem that I'm about to
mention Still haunts many of our families unfortunately
Wallahi what I'm about to mention It is
destroying so many families Till today Just today
also I had a couple came to me
with the same issue And that is That
often there are so many men getting married
But they are so loyal So loyal to
their mothers They tell their mothers Everything that's
going on in the marriage And they're taking
orders constantly from their mothers And the mothers
are constantly interfering The mothers are constantly interfering
Into the marriage of her son And her
daughter-in-law And it causes a major
problem It causes not one major problem A
series of problems Especially when the parents keep
on interfering Into the marriage of their children
You see the point I'm trying to make
is this Sa'ad bin Abu Waqas ﷺ
No matter how much he loved his mother
He stood his ground He always did what
was right Even in the case of many
marriages Men need to stay very firm And
if there's a situation Where mothers are interfering
And they're causing issues in the marriage The
mother is the cancer Okay?
Metaphorically speaking The mother is the cancer in
that marriage I'm not going to go any
further The mother is a cancer And the
man is a weak man I'm not going
to sugar coat this Wallahi, I've had people
come to me in my office And they're
telling me that My daughter is about to
get married to another man Can you tell
me more?
Can you help us ask What kind of
questions do we need to ask?
And so forth And there have been 2
-3 times Where I've told them You need
to ask these kind of questions And you
look at the response of the man If
he is too loyal to his mother That
he will not be able to make any
kind of decisions in life Then he's a
weak man And she's going to become a
cancer in this marriage There's no ands, ifs
and buts It is what it is And
subhanAllah There are times where I've seen people
Their engagement is breaking off Because of this
Because the man said that First comes my
mother First comes my mother Then after that
comes anyone else So that is why SubhanAllah
we see that Let the engagement break off
But you rather marry the right man And
this is why I'm telling For the parents
You should be there To give any kind
of advice to your children If the children
come to you for advice But one of
the leading causes of divorces right now in
America There's 3 reasons I know this is
sort of a side tangent But this is
important Number 1 is in-law interference Number
2 is money And number 3 is gender
roles These are the 3 leading causes of
divorce In this country So that is why
I say this all the time We learn
this beautiful lesson from Sa'ad radiAllahu anhu
Bin Muqasir radiAllahu anhu That he stood his
ground Love for doing the right thing came
first Then the love for parents came later
on And this is something that Our young
men they need to also understand So at
that time when she saw That Sa'ad
is not gonna give up Then she gave
in She broke her oath And she began
to eat and so forth So this is
what Sa'ad bin Muqasir radiAllahu anhu was
Now coming into Medina As the very first
battle that took place Was the battle of
Badr In the battle of Badr He came
across a very beautiful sword As we all
know that You know there are not many
Muslims Who died in the battle of Badr
As much as they died in the battle
of Uhud So during this time Sa'ad
bin Muqasir radiAllahu anhu Came to Prophet ﷺ
With a very beautiful sword And he says
that I found this, can I keep it?
Now the Prophet ﷺ said No, you cannot
keep it Why?
Because there were certain things That were not
legislated till that point But then they were
legislated later on For example One of the
things That was part of the previous shari
'ahs Is that if they went into war
or battle All the manul ghanima The spoils
of war that were collected They would have
to be collected Allah would send a fire
It would burn the spoils of war If
it burned the spoils of war And all
of it through and through This means that
this was accepted By Allah ﷻ However for
the ummah of Rasulullah ﷺ Manul ghanima or
the spoils of war Was made permissible Along
with that for example The Prophet ﷺ he
says جُعِلَةِ الْأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا For example This
was another hadith of Prophet ﷺ That the
earth has been made A means of purification
A source of purification And it has been
made a masjid Meaning that a long time
ago With other religions They had to go
to special places In order to seek purification
They could only pray at certain places For
the ummah of Rasulullah ﷺ The entire earth
And that is why When it comes to
water And there is the absence of water
What is the absence?
What do we do?
If there is no wudu There is tayammum
So that is why Allah ﷻ The Prophet
ﷺ says That the earth has been made
A means of purification And not only that
But you can go anywhere On the face
of this earth As long as you are
facing the qibla You have wudu And you
fulfill all the prerequisites of salat You can
pray there If there is nothing that is
dirty And this is a gift that was
given To the ummah of the Prophet ﷺ
And then after that Because the verses يَسْأَلُونَكَ
عَنِ الْأَنفَالِ They ask you about the spoils
of war Tell them قُلِ الْأَنفَالِ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهُ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ Allah ﷻ said
That the spoils of war Can be distributed
amongst the Muslims However The person who is
going to be distributing Is the Prophet ﷺ
And whoever the Prophet ﷺ gives Whatever he
gives You have to be okay with that
Later on he did call ﷺ Who said
that you found that sword Go ahead and
take it It's yours Now comes the battle
of Uhud And of course as I said
earlier that This was a moment where The
Prophet ﷺ He did suffer in the battle
of Uhud And there was a moment Where
many Sahaba were standing Right in front of
the Prophet ﷺ Defending the Prophet ﷺ We
just talked about Talha ﷺ How he paralyzed
his hands His hands were paralyzed For the
rest of his life Because he was defending
The Prophet ﷺ But it was also Sa'd
ﷺ Standing right in front of the Prophet
ﷺ And the Prophet ﷺ Is giving him
arrows after arrows That Sa'd keep on shooting
Keep on shooting And that is when he
said The very well known saying that May
my father and mother Be ransomed for you
And it does not necessarily mean In a
very literal form But this was a This
was a phrase that was used Amongst the
Arabs To express immense admiration And the willingness
of someone To sacrifice their life For someone
else This is why he ﷺ said this
Now regarding Sa'd ﷺ There is another interesting
hadith Of the Prophet ﷺ Which plays a
very critical role Especially when it comes to
inheritance And this happens at Fatah Makkah I
actually just covered this hadith A few weeks
ago after Fajr But it is Fatah Makkah
Where the Prophet ﷺ Has gone to Makkah
Sa'd ﷺ Has also gone to Makkah He
fell ill over there The Prophet ﷺ visited
him And he actually thought That he will
lose his life But the Prophet ﷺ told
him That is not going to happen Allah
is going to take many You know much
work from you And Allah ﷻ Is going
to utilize you Much more beyond this But
then he asked the Prophet ﷺ That I
only have one daughter That can I give
all my wealth For the sake of Allah
ﷻ And the Prophet ﷺ said no Then
he says can I give You know two
thirds He said no Can I give a
half No He said what about one third
He said you can give one third But
then he says That even a thuluth Is
very very much And then the Prophet ﷺ
says That don't leave your family In a
position Where they are going to extend And
they will be begging From other people Because
if you gave all your wealth To someone
else Then that puts a lot of pressure
On your family And by the way We
don't realize this That these laws of inheritance
That have come down And we learn from
the story of Sahabi Muhammad Qaas ﷺ Is
such a rahma From Allah ﷻ To all
of our families Because the society That we
live in today If a person wanted to
turn around And just give all their wealth
To one person Not being a family member
They can do this in many cases But
you see Allah ﷻ He sent down certain
rules So that the people Who are considered
as the heirs Of the deceased person No
one will be deprived And then not only
that But in Surah An-Nisa Allah ﷻ
gives a detailed description As to how much
Each person will receive This is the rahma
of Allah ﷻ That many of us You
and I we think Oh it's just You
know Inheritance laws But wallahi What we have
Other people are deprived of it And you
don't have any idea We may not have
any idea How much problems it does cause
In many other families and societies Then comes
the next thing Which is During the Khilafah
Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه Of course he
did participate And he did contribute But he
did contribute immensely During the time of Umar
al-Khattab رضي الله عنه Because this was
There was a battle By the name of
The Battle of Qadisiyyah This was actually The
very first time The Persian superpower Fell apart
You know This was when Rostam ran Yazdegerd
They all ran away And not only that
But the Muslims They were under The commander
of chief Who was the commander in chief?
It was Sa'ad bin Abu Bakr رضي
الله عنه And Sa'ad bin Abu Bakr
رضي الله عنه Actually did fall ill He
was not able to go and fight Physically
But he was the person Who was receiving
all the reports And he was the one
Who was making sure That he was giving
All the tactics And he was putting everyone
In the right place In order for the
Muslims To experience success It is mentioned That
this battle took place For four days Four
consecutive days Morning Night There was constant fighting
There was no There was shifts That were
taking place Between the Muslims But even during
that time There was not a single time
Of resting And Sa'ad bin Abu Bakr
رضي الله عنه Though he was sick He
was always on his feet Trying to think
That how we can succeed The first few
days Even though it was a four day
battle Perhaps the first day Or the second
day The Muslims did think That they may
lose This battle and this war Why?
Because the Persians came in And this is
something That we learned Even throughout history If
there was a certain animal The Persians would
often come on Riding on It was elephants
They love to come in Because elephants as
it is Because of how big they are
They do You know Intimidate the opposition So
when they came in With a whole lot
of animals Into the battlefield The Muslims I
mean the Muslims were not Experienced in fighting
elephants You understand?
They were great warriors No doubt But how
do you deal with elephants?
And this is where they came to Sa
'ad bin Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه And
Sa'ad bin Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه
Who said that the next best thing That
you can do is Even though they're covered
Because they were covered With so much armor
How do you attack an animal If it
is protected From all four sides?
He says That take the arrows And shoot
them in their eyes Shoot them directly in
their eyes And when they were shot In
their eyes Now of course An animal cannot
see What does it do?
It starts, you know Losing control And this
is exactly how When elephants were running around
And the people sitting on these animals Were
not able to control these animals This was
one of the key reasons That caused their
defeat And not only that But the Muslims
on day number four They actually went They
infiltrated And their leader at that time Rustam
He actually He had fled Now after they
fled They ran away But you have to
understand That during the time During that time
also We were talking about That this is
the time Of Umar al-Khattab رضي الله
عنه Persia was not Persia There was no
Persia There's no Persia today At that time
The Persian superpower Did consist of the lands
That today we recognize as Iraq and Iran
Okay Iraq and Iran So Persia by the
way You find even in Persia Mostly in
Iran till today They speak Persian However because
The house of affairs In the time of
رضي الله عنه It did move from Medina
To Iraq It moved to Kufa And then
not only that But there were so many
sahaba Who moved to Kufa Arabic became one
of the main Primary languages of Iraq And
that's why till today It's not Persian That
is often spoken in Iraq It is Arabic
That is often spoken in Iraq And Persian
or Farsi Is often spoken in Iran But
nonetheless They escaped They fled And that is
when The next battle took place Which was
called The conquest of Ctesiphon And this is
where صلى الله عليه وسلم came With the
Muslims And they actually went They crossed the
river They actually went Into the whole You
know the area Where they used to live
The castles And the monuments And everywhere The
homes they used to live in When they
crossed over They found out that Everyone had
escaped And now the entire land Did belong
to the Muslims So nonetheless All this happened
Under the rule And the leadership of سعد
من أبو قص رضي الله عنه And that
is why If you think about When you
go today To Iraq You go to Iran
These are Muslim countries I mean Politically Not
so much But I mean The thing is
that They are recognized As Muslim countries The
point is That you know You have to
always Think about سعد من أبو قص رضي
الله عنه Was the commander in chief When
these two When this entire land Came to
the Muslims Now during this time By the
way Many people ask That where was خالد
من أبو قص رضي الله عنه خالد من
أبو قص رضي الله عنه Was somewhere else
Taking care of He was taking care of
Another expedition But nonetheless This is سعد من
أبو قص رضي الله عنه And his accomplishment
Now At this time There is also something
That we learn About سعد من أبو قص
رضي الله عنه Which the Prophet صلى الله
عليه وسلم He says That oh Allah Answer
سعد Whenever he supplicates to you Meaning that
سعد من أبو قص رضي الله عنه Was
a Sahabi Who was known as A مستجاب
الدعوة Meaning that Whenever he would raise his
hands Allah سبحانه وتعالى Will accept his dua
I mean That is truly A remarkable achievement
Imagine If you and I Any one of
us Were given that same honor That you
lift up your hands And Allah will accept
your dua This was given To سعد من
أبو قص رضي الله عنه Now Now come
Of course in the time Of عثمان رضي
الله عنه He He was You know Of
course He was there During the time Or
during the assassination Of عثمان ابن عفان رضي
الله عنه But one thing That we also
learn That no matter how much Of a
commander-in-chief he was If there was
one thing That he did not like to
do It was That he did not like
To get involved with politics He would stay
Far away From anything That was considered As
political It was just his nature He did
not like it And It is mentioned That
in the time Of عثمان رضي الله عنه
That is when He passed away During all
these Civil war And these The civil issues
That were taking place Between the Muslim The
Muslim community He died During that time And
Of course Once again He leaves behind One
thing that we learn About عثمان رضي الله
عنه Is number one Always Putting his deen
first Even above his parents Is a legacy
That we learn From عثمان رضي الله عنه
A legacy of bravery A legacy of leadership
A legacy of his intelligence And how to
How to really overcome The opposition But in
addition to that If there is one thing
Also that we learn is That he was
extremely generous He was extremely generous And he
would often give For the causes Of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala Whenever there was a
call to give He was also one of
those kind of people That he would give
immensely To the Prophet ﷺ And lastly He
is also amongst the عشرة من بشرة He
is also amongst the عشرة من بشرة So
this is About This is the life of
صعب و مقاس رضي الله عنه And I
ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala That all
these things That we are learning About the
sahaba The reason why We are learning about
the sahaba And we are going through Certain
ahadith about them Is so that We can
be inspired by them There are certain things
That we learn from each sahabi Even if
we were to Truly implement only one thing
One thing only From each sahabi Wallahi it
would change our lives So that is why
Go through these insha'Allah Now this is
Sahabi number 9 Okay This is sahabi number
9 That we have covered Next week insha
'Allah We will cover Sahabi number 10 Okay
Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
