Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah. Here Mohammed, while he was so happy he marine about brothers and sisters Welcome to another segment of the best in the worst where we talk about and we covered a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, wherein he highlights the best of the people and the worst of the people. Once a man came to the Prophet said, Allahu Allah, he was salam. And this is a Hadith found in Timothy nearby Adorama Ibn Abu Bakar, or the yellow line, that he says that his father is telling him the story. And he says that a man once came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

wa sallam and he asked a simple question. He says, a university hired, which are the best people. The Prophet said Allah hottie was some he says, Man, Paula Oh, Maru, who were Hustler, ormolu he said, that person who has a long life, and his deeds are good and they are righteous. Then this man said that jasola For a universes shadow, which are the people who are the worst of the people and the prophets Allah Who are you some says mon mon Paula Omro, who was saya ormolu, who is that person who has a long life, and his deeds are wicked, and his deeds are not good, and they're not pleasing to Allah subhanho wa taala. So what we find here in this hadith is that the Prophet salallahu alayhi

salam is making a very clear, he explained to us something very clear here. And he's saying that one is to have a long life. But if that long life is backed up with good actions, then this person is the best of the people. Why? Because it is common sense that when you have a long life and you're doing the right things, you're able to do so much that you can please Allah subhanho wa Taala you have you have more opportunities, and times in your life that you can please Allah subhanho wa taala. And this is why it is something very important for us to understand that if there's one thing that we all want, and something that we all make dua for is oh Allah give us a long life. But

brothers and sisters is not always about the long life that is important. But it's about what we do in our life, that is even more important. C long life or in life in itself is something that is beyond our control. Allah subhanho wa Taala decides when we come in this dunya and when we will depart from this dunya. So this is something that is beyond our control. And what we learned in our deen is, do not focus so much on those things that are beyond your control. rather focus on those things that are within your control. What is within our control is what we do with our life. Even a majority document, Allah Allah, He gives a very beautiful example. He says, imagine a tree, he said

this tree represents a year of your life. And then he says the branches on this tree represents the months of that year. He then says that the branch sticks, so you have the major branch, and then you have the smaller sticks. And he said those smaller steaks they represent the days of that month. And then he says that they are the leaves on those branches. They represent the hours of that day. And then he says the fruit that grows on these branches. They are they represent the breath, the air and the oxygen that you and I we inhale and we exhale. And he says that if we breathe in obedience to Allah subhanho wa Taala meaning that if we do our things that are pleasing to Allah, then the fruits

are going to be sweet. But if we spend our life in disobedience to Allah subhanho wa taala, than these fruits are going to be bitter. And then the most the punch line is what he says at the end. He says the day of harvest will be in the hereafter on the Day of Judgment, meaning that on the Day of Judgment, we will find if our fruit is sweet, that means that we did things the right way. If that fruit is going to be bitter, that means that we did things the wrong way. So what's important to understand is that it's not about the law, the length of our life, as much as it is about the actions of our life. Now, I want to give you a few examples from the Sahaba of yellow Tryon home and

our hola map. And this will actually teach us that these were people who use their time very wisely. They never had a long life.

They never had, you know, great amounts of time with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, but the most important thing is what they did with their time. Let me give you an example. We all know a name. Abu Hurayrah are the ultra iron. And if you ask any person, what is that one thing that you know about Abu Huraira the yellow Tron, any person who has studied Islam will say they have narrated the most a hadith, he has narrated the most a Hadith from us wa sallahu wa salam. In fact, when we study we learned that he has narrated approximately 5374, a Hadith from us wa sallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now, the first question that may come to your mind is that you know, he was probably a

person who stayed with the province of Salah for so many years wrong. Abu Hurayrah or the Allah Quran was only in the company of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for three years. That is it. Think about that. Let that sit in for a moment. Let that sink in. A man who was only with the prophet for three years, narrated 5374 a hadith once again, he never had a long time with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but he was able to use his time wisely. We have Khalid bin Walid or the yawata on a man that today when we say the word Khalid bin Walid, everyone knows about his bravery. He you know how strong he was? How determined he was, how long did he provide his

services to Islam, it was approximately 10 to 11 years And subhanAllah one beautiful thing that we find about holidays, whether you allow time, is that his nickname was safe Allah Soheila it is mentioned in some books. And some say that there you know, there's there might be some fabrication to this, but it's just worth noting that once a person did ask him that, you know, subhanAllah your friends, they died in the battlefield. They died fighting for the cause of Allah, but you are dying on a bed. He says something very remarkable. He says that I am the sword of Allah. If I had died in the battlefield, someone could claim that the sword of Allah was broken. The sword of Allah can

never break. I'm Holly been worried. I find the sword of Allah I'm safe Allah, this is why I'm dying in the bed. Then you have people like Imam No, Allahu Allah till today we read his book or the other solid in, we read about his 40, a hadith. He has, you know, provided he has written so many Shewhart and so many explanations on the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but go back to his life also. He had a live how long do you have a life for 44 years. That's it 44 years. And it was not as if he began studying at a very young age. He had this desire to learn about Deen. But he began his religious journey religious Sacred Knowledge journey from the age of 18. He began teaching

at the age of 24. And he began writing only in the last 12 to 13 years of his life, but in those 1213 years, how many books to hear right Subhanallah So brothers and sisters, it's not always about having a long life. There is nothing wrong and ask him for a long life from Allah subhanho wa taala. But at the same time, if we want to be of the best, is nothing wrong once again to have a long life, but we have to back it up with right and righteous actions, actions that are pleasing to Allah subhana wa taala. And let's just say if you don't have a long life, Allah does not give you a long life in this dunya at least do something that people can benefit from your work and from your

actions, even if you have passed away. So once again, the going back to the Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if we want to be from the best people, the criteria is the actions if the actions are good, inshallah we will be from amongst the best. Today we learn from bilateral Viola and today we are talking about a borehole radar. Today we're talking about how you Waleed today we're talking about Imam now we were benefiting from his works today. Once again, do always what's right, do something that can benefit others insha Allah and you will be from the amongst the best. And God forbid if our actions are not good. It does not matter having a long life if our

actions are not good, we will be from the worst of the people and I ask Allah subhana wa Taala to not make us from amongst those. I ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us Baraka in our life. May Allah subhanho wa Taala give you an eye the ability to do whatever life that we have to do what is right to do that which is pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala and to do that, which people can benefit from, I mean, noble Alameen till next time inshallah Desikan Malachite a salam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
