00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			So that we are continuing with our series
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			the 40 hadith regarding the sahabah radhiAllahu ta
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04
			'ala anhum.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			This is a hadith number 7 Urwa radhiAllahu
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:43
			ta'ala anhu says This
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			is a hadith narrated by Urwa radhiAllahu anhu,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and this is a hadith that is found
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			in a book known as Musannaf Ibn Abi
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			Shaybah.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			There are many books of a hadith of
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, of course
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			many of us are well known of the
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			very The well-known collection Bukhari, Muslim, Timothy,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			Abu Dawood, Naseem, Ibn Majah But there are
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			other collections of a hadith that have collected
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			sahih a hadith and one of them is
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			is is known as Musannaf because it collects
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			these sayings of the sahabah radhiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			anhum But the distinctive features of this book
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			known as Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah Is that
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			it has all all the quotes that he
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			has collected they all are sahih This is
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			one of the beauty of this the beautiful
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			things of this book So this story is
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			found in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah and also
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			in other books of a hadith where the
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam He said on
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			the battle of trenches now, you have to
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			understand that the battle trenches the situation was
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			very Extreme and there was a lot of
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			internal betrayal that was taking place from the
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			Jewish tribes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			sallam So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			He says to all the sahabah who will
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			go and bring me the news of Banu
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			Quraizah Banu Quraizah was the one that was
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			committing the treachery against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			wa sallam So Zubayr radhiAllahu ta'ala anhum
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			he mounted his conveyance and he returned with
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			the news from Banu Quraizah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			wa sallam repeated the same question on three
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:22
			different occasions at which At each time Zubayr
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			radhiAllahu ta'ala anhum he responded to the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			call of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then said to
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			Zubayr Ibn Awam radhiAllahu ta'ala anhum May
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			my parents be sacrificed for you.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			He then says every Every Prophet has a
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			disciple and that in my disciple is Zubayr
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			radhiAllahu ta'ala anhum And he also said
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			that he is my cousin now First of
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			all, is that why did Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			wa sallam refer to Zubayr as a Hawari?
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			Hawari was the name that the definition of
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			a Hawari is disciple and if you open
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			the Quran The only time the word Hawari
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			or Hawariyoon have been mentioned in the Quran
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			is when Isa alayhis salaam is talking about
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			his supporters like Allah says in the Quran
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			that Ya ayyuhal lazeena amanu Ya ayyuhal lazeena
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			amanu This is Allah telling the Believers Koonu
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			ansar Allah Become the helpers of Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			wa ta'ala Kama kala Isa Ibn Maryam
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			lil hawariyina man ansari ila Allah Kama kala
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			Isa Ibn Maryam lil hawariyina man ansari ila
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			Allah Just like Isa alayhis salaam He said
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			to his followers Who is going to be
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			my hawariyin And to the call of Isa
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:40
			alayhis salaam Qal hawariyoonan nahnu ansar Allah Qal
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			hawariyoonan nahnu ansar Allah The Hawariyoon, the supporters
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			of Isa Alayhi Salaam, these are loyal supporters
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			of Isa Alayhi Salaam, they said that we
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			will be the helpers of Allah SWT.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			So the question is once again, why did
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam refer to Zubair as
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			a Hawari?
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			The question is, that weren't the other Sahaba
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			radhiyallahu anhum great supporters of the Prophet Alayhi
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			Salaam?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Did they not help the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			Wasallam?
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:07
			Indeed they did.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			But you will find a similarity between this
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			story and the story of Isa Alayhi Salaam.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			Because there is a riwayah that is found
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			by Ibn Abbas radiallahu ta'ala alayhi wa
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			sallam, which is recorded by Imam Nasa'i
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			rahmatullahi alayh, that when Isa Alayhi Salaam came
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			to his Hawariyoon, when he came to his
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			disciple, his loyal supporters, he said that these
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			are people who are coming after me, they
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			will take my life.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has decided
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			that I will be taken up by him.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			This is our belief about Isa Alayhi Salaam.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ Neither they have crucified
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			him, neither have they killed him, but he
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			is with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, as
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Allah says in the following verse, بَرْ رَفَعَهُ
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ Allah has raised Isa Alayhi Salaam.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			So contrary to the Christian belief, this is
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			what our belief is regarding Isa Alayhi Salaam.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			So it is mentioned by Ibn Abbas radhiAllahu
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			ta'ala anhuma, that Isa Alayhi Salaam also
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			came to his disciples, and he asked his
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			question three times, that which of you are
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			willing to become like me?
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			Like you'll be given the same appearance like
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			me, and your life will be in danger.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			Which of you is willing to do something
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			like this?
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			And there was one Hawari in particular, that
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			at the call of Isa Alayhi Salaam, three
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			different times, he raised his hand and he
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:38
			said, Oh Nabi of Allah, Isa Alayhi Salaam,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			I am the one who will take your
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			appearance, and if I lose my life in
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			this process, then the reward is given to
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			me by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			This is mentioned in the hadith of Ibn
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			Abbas radhiAllahu anhum.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:55
			Similarly, when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam came to
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			the Sahaba, and he said three times, Who
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			will go and bring me the news of
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			Banu Qurayza?
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			And I want to know their plans, their
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			agenda.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			And all three times, Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu said,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			that I, Ya Rasulullah, will be the one
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			who will go and bring you the news,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			and the intelligence from their camp.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			That is why Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam gave
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			him this title.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			And he did not give this title to
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			anyone else, but Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			And so this is why the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			alayhi wasallam, he says that every Nabi had
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			a hawari, and a loyal supporter.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			And my hawari is Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			Now, who is Zubayr ibn Awam radhiAllahu anhu?
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			And there's a lot of things that are
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			mentioned about him.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			So first of all we learned that Zubayr
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			ibn Awam radhiAllahu anhu was related to the
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			How so?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			This was his father, his name was Al
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			-Awam ibn Khuwaylid.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			He died at a very young age, or
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			when Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu was young.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			However his mother, his mother is Safiyyah bint
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			Abdul Muttalib.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			And Safiyyah as you all know, this was
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			the aunt, or in Urdu we refer to
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			as poopy.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			This was the poopy of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			wasallam.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			The aunt of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, basically
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			his father's sister.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			So this is the mother of Zubayr ibn
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			Awam radhiAllahu anhu.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			So it is mentioned that Safiyyah radhiAllahu anha,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			by the way if you study her life,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			she was known as a brave woman, a
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			courageous woman.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			And the one thing that we learn about
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu is that even from a
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			young age, this young man was a very
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			courageous man.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			I'll share stories with you that how he
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			would exhibit that level of courage.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			It is mentioned in the early days that
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			he became a Muslim in the very early
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			stages of Islam.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			And along with him was Ali radhiAllahu anhu,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			he was young.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu was young.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			It is mentioned, there is of course some
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			ikhtilaf about ages, but there are several ages
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			that are mentioned.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			Some say that he became a Muslim when
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			he was perhaps 12 years old, some say
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			13 years old, some say 16 years old.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			But nonetheless, he and some other sahaba radhiAllahu
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			anhum, such as Talha radhiAllahu anhu, Zubayr radhiAllahu
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			anhu, Ali radhiAllahu anhu, and many other young
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			sahaba, they were very similar in age.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			So they used to hang out all the
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			time with each other, and they used to
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			come to Dar ul-Arqam to listen to
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			the advices given by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			However, just like all the sahaba radhiAllahu anhum,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			they were persecuted because of their Islam.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			They were persecuted because of their Islam.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			It is mentioned that though Zubayr's father, he
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			died when Zubayr was young, but when he
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			found out that he was a Muslim, he
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			persecuted him.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			However, the one who persecuted him the most
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			was his uncle, Naufal.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			And what is mentioned was that he would
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			sometimes wrap him up in a carpet, so
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			that he will not be able to move,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			and then he would light a fire close
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:05
			by.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			It's mentioned in some that he would light
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			a fire close by, even to the face
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			of Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			And the smoke was, it was right in
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			the face of Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu that many
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			times he would have to...
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			It was of course with force, he had
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			no choice because he was wrapped in a
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			carpet, but he would have to sometimes inhale
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			that smoke.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			And it is mentioned that because of that
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			he would sometimes yell and scream.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			But he made it very clear to his
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			uncle that, لَا أَكْفُرْ بِهِ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا Like,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			I will never ever after this become a
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			kafir.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			Do whatever you want to do, I will
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			never ever give up and denounce my deen.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			To which, when the uncle Naufal saw this,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			he just basically let him go because he
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			realized, there's nothing I can do that will
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			make him denounce his Islam.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			So this is something that we find from
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			Zubayr radhiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			However, one of the things that we also
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			learn from Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu is that, he
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			was always a person who always came forward,
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			and always supported the mission of the Prophet
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			ﷺ at all cost.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			Even in the early days when we find
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			when the Prophet ﷺ, he allowed the Muslims
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			to migrate to Abyssinia.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			We find that many of the people who
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			migrated to Abyssinia, they were husband and wives.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			There was never a situation where the Prophet
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			ﷺ separated the husband and the wife during
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			this migration process.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			If there was a wife traveling for hijrah,
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			the Prophet ﷺ would make the husband go
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			also.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			If the husband was going, the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			would send the wife also.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			However, in the case of Zubayr radhiAllahu anhu,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			he was a single person, he was not
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			married at that time.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			But he played a very pivotal role in
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			helping and supporting the Muslims while he was
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			there.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			So it is mentioned that while the Muslims
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			were there, there was a dispute and there
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			was some kind of political conflict that was
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			taking place.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			As you know, whenever Muslims go and they
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			live anywhere, there's always going to be some
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			people who have a problem where Muslims are
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:03
			living.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			So many of the people who were close
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			to Najashi, in fact some of his own
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12
			family members, they were saying that Najashi is
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			not loyal to the people of Habsha, rather
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			he is loyal to these Muslims.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			He is loyal to these Muslims and his
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			loyalty is compromised.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			So there was a political battle that took
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			place, a political conflict that took place.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			The person...
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			Now the Muslims were told at that time
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			that you stay out of this, you have
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			no place in this conflict.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			But the Najashi told the Muslims that if
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			there comes a situation that I lose, then
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			you all need to flee.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			And he even made the arrangements for the
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:42
			Muslims.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			Now the question is, who is going to
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			bring that news, that intelligence to the Muslims
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			as to what is happening in that battle?
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			It was Zubayr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			And it is mentioned that he was sometimes
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			cross and swim across the Nile, in some
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			parts of the Nile, just to go and
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			collect the news from what is going on.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			But it is mentioned of course that later
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			on, the Najashi was able to succeed.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			So he was the first person to bring
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			that good news to the Muslims that we
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			have alhamdulillah, nothing to worry about, and we're
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:14
			going to stay here.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			But the point is, seeing how Zubayr radiallahu
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			anhu at a very young age, supporting Muslims,
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			supporting the cause of Islam.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			And I'm gonna say this as a side
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			tangent because I say this a lot of
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			times to our youth.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			And I want all of us parents here
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			to share this, what I'm about to say
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			to your youth also.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:37
			There's never a situation where the youth will
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			not be tested in terms of their faith.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			There's the greatest story that we find in
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			the Qur'an regarding this matter, is Surah
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			Al-Kahf.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			We have a group of young men who
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			were tested in their iman.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			And the lesson to be learned from this
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			as many ulema have written in their tafaseer,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			is that youth will always be tested when
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			it comes to their faith and when it
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			comes to their iman.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			Likewise, when you see these young sahaba radiallahu
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			anhum, they were no different.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			But they were able to succeed in those
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			tests.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			And they were always able to stay close
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			to the Prophet ﷺ and learn from the
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			And they were able to maintain their faith.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			This is very important because a lot of
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			times in this day and age, of course
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			our youth are facing a lot of challenges,
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			spiritual challenges, theological challenges.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			And it's very difficult especially with all the
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			technology and the ability to commit sin.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			It's so easy for our young men, our
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			young brothers and young sisters, that they're always
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:36
			surrounded.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			And a lot of times even I have
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			come across many youth when I talk to
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			them, that they feel like, why is Allah
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			testing us?
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			But the reality is that in every single
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			era, Allah will always test the young men
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			and the young women, especially when it comes
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			to their faith.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			And the sahaba radiallahu anhum were no different.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			Now, when it came to Zubayr radiallahu anhu
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			and his contribution to Islam and supporting Rasulullah
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:04
			ﷺ, we find a story in the Battle
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			of Badr, in fact, in the Battle of
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:06
			Badr.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			It is mentioned that Zubayr radiallahu anhu he
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			wore a very yellowish turban.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			And this turban was symbolic for bravery.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			Any person who would wear this yellow turban
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			in a battlefield, it was symbolic for their
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:21
			bravery.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			But it is also mentioned that subhanAllah, when
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			the mala'ika were descending in the Battle
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			of Badr, out of love of what Zubayr
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			radiallahu anhu, the bravery that he was exhibiting,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			it is mentioned that even these mala'ika
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			when they came down, they all had yellow
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			turbans, just following exactly what Zubayr radiallahu anhu
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			and the bravery he was exhibiting in the
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			Battle of Badr.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			One thing I forgot to mention is that
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:52
			Zubayr radiallahu anhu, while he was a cousin
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			of the Prophet ﷺ, the son of Safiyyah
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			radiallahu ta'ala anha, at the same time
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			later on, he also married, when he grew
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:05
			up, he married the daughter of Abu Bakr
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			radiallahu anhu.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			He married Asma bint Abu Bakr.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			And from that marriage came a very well
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			-known sahabi by the name of Abdullah ibn
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			Zubayr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			It came from this marriage between him and
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			Asma radiallahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			Now, coming into the Battle of Uhud.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25
			So now we understand that Zubayr's father-in
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			-law is Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			It is mentioned that in the Battle of
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			Uhud, of course the Muslims, we all know
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			what happened in the Battle of Uhud, but
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			after the Muslims suffered a lot, but they
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			came back and they fought for the cause
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			of Allah.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			It is mentioned that Aisha radiallahu anha, she
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			says that there was a verse of the
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			Qur'an that was revealed.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:51
			Allah says, أَلَّذِينَ اَسْتَجَابُوا لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ بِمْ بَعْدِ
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			مَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْقَرْحِ There were some people who
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			answered the call of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			'ala after they were injured.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			Aisha radiallahu anha, she says that this ayah
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			was revealed due to their bravery and the
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:08
			courage that was exhibited by her father Abu
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			Bakr radiallahu anhu and Zubayr radiallahu ta'ala
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			anhu.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			Because we know what happened and when he
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:18
			found out, of course, about the martyrdom of
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			Hamza radiallahu anhu, of course he was shaken.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			Everyone in the Muslim army was shaken.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			But nonetheless they kept on showing their courage
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			as they fought Allah.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			Now comes the Battle of Trench and we
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			all know what happened where he mentioned that,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:35
			who's gonna go and bring me the intelligence
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:39
			from the camp of Banu Qurayza.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			Now comes the...
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			of course the Prophet ﷺ passes away, he
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			lives on.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			He lives on all the way to the
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			time of Ali radiallahu anhu.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			During the time of Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu,
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:53
			Zubayr radiallahu anhu always supported Abu Bakr radiallahu
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:53
			anhu.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			There were some very well-known wars, one
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			of them was the Ridda Wars.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			He supported Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			However in the battle of...
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			or in the time of Umar ibn Khattab
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			radiallahu anhu, there was a well-known battle
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			known as the Battle of Yarmouk.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			In that battle it is mentioned that Zubayr
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			radiallahu anhu he would start, he would go
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			all the way to the back of the
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			place where the war was being fought.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			He would fight all the way when he
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			will get to the end, and then he
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:23
			would make his way back.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			Because generally in a war when you're fighting,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			you keep on moving forward.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			Okay, you don't stay in your place.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			So you fight and you move forward, you
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			fight and you move forward.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			It is mentioned that people notice that Zubayr
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			was fighting, he went all the way to
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			the back of the army, and then he
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			made his way back all the way to
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			the front also.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:45
			But subhanAllah he always fought with much courage.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			Now comes the time of Uthman ibn Affan
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:48
			radiallahu anhu.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			And there is a lot that is mentioned
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			regarding him and his relationship with Uthman ibn
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			Affan.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			Also with our mother Aisha radiallahu anha, and
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			also his dialogue with Ali radiallahu anhu.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			So it is mentioned that in the time
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			of Uthman ibn Affan, there was a lot
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			of fitnahs that began to emerge.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			This is something that we learned from the
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			Prophet ﷺ, that Zubayr radiallahu anhu sent his
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			own children to go and protect Uthman ibn
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			Affan radiallahu anhu.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:23
			Uthman ibn Affan radiallahu anhu said that, جزاكم
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			الله خير, but let me handle this situation
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			by myself.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			Zubayr radiallahu anhu of course he wanted to,
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			but at the fact that Uthman radiallahu anhu
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			was insisting, that let me take care of
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			myself, let me take care of these matters
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			myself.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			Zubayr radiallahu anhu he pulled back.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			Later on he found out that Uthman radiallahu
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			anhu was assassinated.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			Now we know that after Uthman radiallahu anhu's
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			assassination, there was a lot of turmoil that
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			took place within the Muslim community.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			You have people like Ali radiallahu anhu on
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			one side, you have people like Zubayr radiallahu
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			anhu, Talha radiallahu anhu, our mother Aisha radiallahu
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			anhu, and Muawiyah and some others, who were
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:09
			not agreeing to the style of leadership when
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			it came to Ali radiallahu anhu.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			Because Ali radiallahu anhu's style of leadership was,
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			that we cannot just go and start making
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			arrests in Medina.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			This is not the way to do things.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			And we will not achieve anything by doing
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			something like this.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			Rather it will cause even more issues in
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			the community.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			So let me do my due diligence, let
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			me do a thorough investigation, let me bring
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			those who are truly the criminals, let me
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			bring them to justice.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			On the other hand they felt, Aisha radiallahu
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			anhu and the rest, they all felt that
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			this is just taking a lot of time,
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			and we need to bring these people to
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			justice very quickly.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			Now what is mentioned is that there was
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:49
			of course an expedition or battle known as,
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			many refer to it as Jang-e-Jamal,
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			or the battle of camels.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			And this is where Ali radiallahu anhu, he
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			came across Zubayr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:03
			And he said to him that, do you
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			remember, now pause here for a moment, one
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			thing we need to understand about this battle,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			is that the sahabah radiallahu anhum, they understood
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			their positions.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			However there were many other people who were
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			with the camp of Aisha, and many people
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			with the camp of Ali radiallahu anhu who
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			did not have the right intention.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			They were looking for a war, they were
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			looking for a battle, they wanted to commit
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			bloodshed.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			On the other hand, these sincere sahabah radiallahu
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			anhum, this was not their intention.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			So what happened was, that when they sat
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:41
			down, this is our mother Aisha, Ali radiallahu
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			anhu, Talha, Zubayr.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			At that time Ali radiallahu anhu, he reminded
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			Zubayr radiallahu anhu of a hadith of the
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			And what was that hadith?
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			The hadith was that, the Prophet ﷺ, he
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			was sitting one day with Ali and Talha
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			and Zubayr, and he says to Zubayr, do
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			you love Ali radiallahu anhu?
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			And he says, yes of course I love
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:07
			Ali radiallahu anhu.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			One second, as I said earlier, these three
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			were like, they were always hanging out with
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			each other.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:16
			Young men, you know, they always were giving
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			their life for the cause of Allah.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			So they always were around each other.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			So of course he said, I love Ali
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:21
			radiallahu anhu.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			To which the Prophet ﷺ said, that one
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			day will come, where there will be a
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			fight, and there will be a dispute between
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:32
			amongst you, and the side that you are
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			on is the wrong side.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			And Ali radiallahu anhu is reminding Zubayr radiallahu
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			anhu, that do you remember this?
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			And Zubayr radiallahu anhu, he recalls, and he
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			says, oh yes, I remember.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:51
			And at that particular time, Zubayr radiallahu anhu
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			decided that I'm not gonna participate in this
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			expedition, or this battle at all.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			In fact it is mentioned about our own
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			dear mother, radiallahu ta'ala anha, Aisha radiallahu
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			ta'ala anha, and Talha, they all went
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			back.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			But at night, these munafiqoon or these khawarij,
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			they got involved and they start fighting, which
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:14
			led to much bloodshed within this whole battle.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			But did the sahaba go against, like did
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			they cause bloodshed to each other?
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			These leader sahaba, they never did that.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			In fact, it is mentioned, that when Zubayr
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			was leaving, Zubayr said, I have nothing to
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			do with this anymore, I'm leaving.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			There was a man by the name of
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			Amr bin Jarmuz.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			He went to Zubayr, and he was on
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			the side of Ali radiallahu anhu.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			So he went to Zubayr and he says,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			where are you going?
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			Zubayr says, I want nothing to do with
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:40
			this anymore.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			I now remember the hadith of Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			I want nothing to do with this anymore.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			So he says, that you cannot do this.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			Now, Amr bin Jarmuz, once again, these were
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			people who were sick in their mind.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			They never had, they never understood, was haq,
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			was batil, they never understood limitations.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:59
			So he decided to stay with Zubayr radiallahu
		
00:22:59 --> 00:22:59
			anhu.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:03
			They began to pray salat, and while Zubayr
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			radiallahu anhu was in his salat, Amr bin
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			Jarmuz, he took out his sword, and he
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			killed Zubayr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			Now, Amr bin Jarmuz is thinking to himself,
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			I just did a great service for Ali
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			radiallahu anhu.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			He goes all the way to Ali radiallahu
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			anhu, he hands him the sword.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			Either he hands it to him directly, or
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			through someone else.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			Because Ali radiallahu anhu, he's going through a
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			lot of, you know, he's trying to take
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			in, he's a leader at that time, and
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			all this is happening during his time.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			Of course you can imagine his emotional state.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:40
			When the sword was brought to Ali radiallahu
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			anhu, and this man is thinking to himself,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			he's done a great service for Ali radiallahu
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:44
			anhu.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			Ali radiallahu anhu said, I heard Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:53
			alayhi wasallam saying, the glad tidings of hellfire,
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			the glad tidings of Jahannam, is to that
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:00
			person who will kill Zubayr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			When he heard this, he did not know
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			that he did something of this.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			He went and he committed suicide himself.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			An bin Jamus, he committed suicide himself.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			But before he left, he already heard Ali
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			radiallahu anhu, what he had said about the
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			hadith of Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, whoever kills
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			Zubayr, what is their final abode.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			So once again, this is the ending of
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			Zubayr radiallahu anhu.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			But once again, even though there was a
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30
			little, you know, some tension, but the Sahaba
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			radiallahu anhu, one thing that we always understand
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			about the Sahaba radiallahu anhu, brothers and sisters,
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			is that they never took anything very personal.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			Even though there may have been some differences,
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			there may have been some issues, but they
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			never took it to a limit where they're
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			after each other's throats, where they will be
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			happy at the demise of others.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			They will be happy when someone fails, or
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			someone collapses.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			These were not these kind of people.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			Today, if we have a hatred towards someone
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			else, we will like to see that person
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			fall.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			We like to see that person collapse.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			If something bad happens to that person, the
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			first thing that will come out of our
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			mouth many times is, you know what, he
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			or she deserves it.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			Allah's justice came and so forth.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			The Sahaba were not of this type.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			They never took things personal.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			Their hearts were always very clean.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			And this is where we are so different
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			from the Sahaba radiallahu anhu.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			Petty issues, petty small issues, and we take
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			it to heart.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			And this is why where we are today
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			as a Muslim ummah, hating against each other,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			animosity against each other, always wishing each other
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			harm.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			This is not something that we learn from
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			the Sahaba radiallahu anhu.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			But the most important thing I would say
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			is, if there's anything that we can learn
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			from Zubayr radiallahu anhu, is his courage to
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:42
			stand up for deen.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			And this means that even in this day
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			and age, courage, by the way brother and
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			sister, does not only mean you go and
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			you fight somewhere.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			Courage to stand up for the cause of
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also means that
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			when someone asks you a question about deen,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			about Islam, and you know that I may
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			tell them what the haq is, but they
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			may not agree, they may not like it.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:10
			My courage teaches me, Islam teaches me, that
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			I should be so courageous that I'm going
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			to speak the haq whether you like it
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			or not.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			Whether you agree with it or not, it
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			does not matter.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			But I'm going to speak and tell you
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			what my deen has taught me.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			This is also another form of courage.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			This is the courage that today you and
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			I are being asked to stand for.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			No matter what the situation is, no matter
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			if someone does not like the haq, or
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			we're going to always speak the haq.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			This is the courage that you and I,
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			we can exhibit today.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			We may not be able to go outside
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:42
			and physically engage, and we need to keep
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:42
			this in mind.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			But when someone does engage with us, let
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			us not be shy of who we are.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:51
			Wallahi, if you study comparative religion, you study
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			all the deens, all the religions out there,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			Wallahi, there is no other religion that is
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			balanced, that makes sense as much as Islam
		
00:26:59 --> 00:26:59
			does.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			There is no other religious code in this
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			dunya right now that has the balance that
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			Islam has.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			And the one thing that they do not
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			like about Muslims the most, is that we
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			are willing to stick to our deen.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			These other religions, they have changed their deen
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			based on how society is.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			If the society is going in one direction,
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			we'll follow that same direction.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			Our deen has taught us, no, courage is
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			we stick to our deen, and we speak
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			the truth no matter what the situation is.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:35
			As the Prophet ﷺ says, أَفْضَلُ الْجِهَادِ كَلِيمَةُ
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			حَقٍ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِدٍ The greatest form of
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			jihad and striving in the cause of Allah
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			is to utter the truth.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			This is the courage that you and I,
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			we can today exhibit, and we learn from
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			Zubayr radiallahu anh.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			May Allah ﷻ grant us the tawfiq to
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			become like the sahabah radiallahu anhum.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			May Allah ﷻ grant us the ability to
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			exhibit their qualities and their characteristics.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			And may Allah ﷻ grant us the love
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			of Rasulullah ﷺ ameen.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:08
			وَجَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			May Allah ﷻ grant us the tawfiq to
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			become like the sahabah radiallahu anhum.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			May Allah ﷻ grant us the tawfiq to
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:31
			become like the sahabah radiallahu anhum.
