00:00:00 --> 00:00:19
			Also the wisdom about a karate kata silica Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he was so happy
he was so interesting and Kathira Charla Tada Dear Brothers and Sisters, this is the last person we
will be speaking about from the blessed family of Anicet remarkable the a lot of time and who and he
is indeed an incredible human being and someone who
		
00:00:20 --> 00:01:02
			inshallah Tada we can learn some very unique lessons from and before I speak about Al Bara, the
brother of us today, while the Allahu anha. I want to actually mention Subhanallah that sometimes
when we talk about superheroes, we speak about the past and we don't think they exist amongst us
today. And I actually had the blessing of interviewing, speaking with a friend Fatima who many of
you have followed in India, whose home was demolished in India as our brothers and sisters in India
are facing a genocide. At the moment they are on genocide alerts over 200 million Muslims on
genocide alert May Allah subhanaw taala protect them alarm me and
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:40
			a friend hamdulillah Blimey, I recorded something in Charlotte's I will be putting out tomorrow but
the nighttime tomorrow morning inshallah. So please do tune into that and watch with your families
and Chatelet on so that you can become more educated about the plight of our brothers and sisters in
India and shots and its connection to what is happening to the rest of the Ummah and how it pertains
to us in particular. So inshallah that will be tomorrow. This will be the last lecture of the first
that we do before the hedge and charlatan and then we'll break for about a month inshallah Tada and
start back in August in the LA we're on episode 80 hamdulillah some of you have been been here from
		
00:01:40 --> 00:02:08
			the start and some did not apply me and so we're on episode 80. Now, may Allah Subhana Allah allow
us to continue to live with these blessed people in our memory and in our hearts and all sorts of
follow in their footsteps Allah man, I mean, so today we're talking about Al Bara ibn Malik Ibn
another or the Allahu Taala and who the brother of Anas ibn Malik or the Allahu Taala and who al
Bara Now how many of you have heard the name of Al Bara before in the spirit of the Prophet slice on
how many of you have heard this name and but
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:32
			not many of you, it seems, but when you hear the name of it, but it's actually very important. It's
not talking about this book. Okay. Al Bara when it's spoken in Hadith literature in the seat of the
Prophet slice alum, it's referring usually to Alibaba been as IP or the alongside Alibaba been as it
was a much more famous Bara, or a little bit
		
00:02:34 --> 00:03:16
			of an acid or Alibaba had been my role. This brother of Annecy, Abdulmalik actually has no Hadith
narrated to him. Okay, so he's actually not very famous at all, there is not much narrated about
Alberto Denali called the louder and hope. However, what is narrated about him is so unique and
gives us some pretty unique lessons in the lucky Tirana that we can take so this is a different book
than the one that you will hear in the books of Hadith including sometime al Bara Manasa narrating
from Anissa bumalik. Okay, may Allah be pleased with them all. Now, as we said about Robin Malik,
there's a difference of opinion about whether he is NSS brother through just his father or also
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:58
			through his mother and the more correct opinion is that almost Tulane is his mother as well. And so
you'll see some of the saline Come out of him as well. So he is according to the correct opinion,
multiple narrations from 100 Rahim Allah to Allah and Aries this as well, and others that he is an
Asus full brother. He is the full brother on a sub nomadic or the Allahu Allah and he is his older
brother. Therefore his mother is also on Celine, while the Allahu Taala Anna, who we learned so much
about and sha Allah to Allah, what you'll see today of that spirit of sacrifice also is just a
unique manifestation of the children of Celine while the Allahu taala. However, this man has such a
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:42
			unique story. So for one we know virtually nothing about him prior to Islam, almost nothing. We know
nothing about his conversion to Islam. So you got the story of saline bringing us we know nothing
about his story of actually converting to Islam. The first time he actually shows up is in the
Battle of efforts. That's the first time we actually start to see a mention of him and all of the
battles so he was not present embedded, presumably because he was too young. But then He's present
in every battle and becomes famous for his presence in battle. Okay, so we know nothing about him
before Islam. We know nothing about the actual conversion to Islam of Al Bharat nomadic or the
		
00:04:42 --> 00:05:00
			Allahu taala. And we know nothing about his participation or lack of participation embedded. But
then you have the stories of him in battle. And he's one of those companions very interestingly
enough, who literally his entire Sierra is in battle. All right, well,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			Like, family life, not there any personal stories with the Prophet slicin I'm really not there. It
is battle after battle after battle but in a very unique way.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:52
			When we talked about about the terminal sama total, the Allahu Taala and whole, this whole family
was just sacrifice, right? Always by the sight of the prophets I seldom and always willing to put
themselves first, the description of urbanity of Osama total, the Allahu taala. And who was what?
Tall, dark, handsome, strong, imposing features when he walked into a room. Everybody was quiet.
When everybody's doing assignment walked into a room, right? He had Haber, he had haber means a
sense of awe when somebody walked in a room everyone knew this was a special man. And they sat down
and they listened to him and he could broker treaties. He could lead armies, I mean, regardless of
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:45
			the Allahu Taala and who has an imposing presence before Islam and even more imposing after Islam,
right. Listen to the description of Al Bara or the Allahu Taala animal. Al Bara was extremely short.
Extremely thin. They said that there was nothing pinchable on the body of Alborada Allah Tala
animal, no bones, no nothing on his bones, no flesh on his bones. His appearance was unkempt, he had
he was dusty. He owned two garments. He spoke very little, his hair was all over the place. When
people looked at him, they degraded him, they belittled him. He was very pale, and he wasn't very
handsome. That's the description of his physical appearance. You're like, why are you talking about
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:45
			this?
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:29
			Because there's a particular Hadith that actually pertains to him. You may have heard in the angel
series, we talked about it in the judgment day series as well, where the prophets lie some out of
all of the companions only mentioned his name as an example of this person. The prophets lie some
said Kim in a shot about how many people are there that are unkempt, that are covered in dust that
are turned away from people's door. Tim Delaney law, Yoda, who law who law UC Santa Ana law he
learned about rock, he only owns two garments. And no one pays any attention to this person. Meaning
people would belittle and degrade this person they would think he's a nobody in society. He looks
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:51
			like a peasant. He doesn't have anything physically that gives him a sense of dominance in society.
But that person is so special. Lo XM Allah Allah Baba, no eczema and Allah Allah Bara means it's not
just the person who's Mujahid with Darrell who has answered your eyes, it means that that person has
reached a position with Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:34
			that when they take an oath upon Allah, they know that Allah will fulfill their oath. They're so
close to Allah, they have exceeded in the ranks so much that when they say yeah Allah, I ask of you
this Allah subhanaw taala does because of where they are in terms of their rank the prophets lie
Selim said min humble Bharat nomadic. He pointed to Al Bara nautical the Allah no one said in my
ummah, that's al Bara, Abdul Malik. In another narration, the prophet slice I mentioned these
people, right and this was something the prophets lie some consistently does, consistently does.
He's asking the Companions when they see someone past by prophets lie some says what do you say
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:08
			about this person? They said Yasuda loves persons honourable. If he speaks, we all listen, if He
intercedes his Chifa his intercession is accepted. The guy could propose to anyone for marriage, he
would be married. And then another person passed by and the prophets lie some said what do you say
about this person, Salah, this person's little nothing. If he speaks, no one listens to him if He
intercedes no one cares for his intercession. And if he proposes for marriage, he's not gonna be
able to get married. And the prophets lie some said that person is better than an earth full of that
person.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:32
			That person that you look at and you degrade and you think as a nobody is better in the sight of
Allah subhanaw taala than the Earth full of that person that you just showered with praises, meaning
even are valid. Osama told the Allah Tada and what made him beautiful, was Islam, his character, his
faith, and that's where all of that came in. All the other stuff would have been nothing he could I
mean, Abuja had also was a
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:56
			big, strong, handsome man. Right? But his rejection of faith and the ugliness of his character made
him ugly in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala and debased and degraded to the Muslims and for
history right? So the only person that the prophets I send them names as an example of this type of
person is an bharatmala called the Allah Tala and
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			he's not eloquent. He's not some
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:20
			One who is going to be in the prestigious gatherings. He is someone who would be belittled before
Islam. He is not someone that particularly has, you know an attractive appearance. He's not someone
that looks very strong. But Subhanallah lo Oksana Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah He is answered in
his euro, the man says Allahu Allah and Allah answers him
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			And subhanAllah for that reason
		
00:10:25 --> 00:11:02
			you don't find any you have over 1000 of his brother and a symptomatic well the Allahu Anhu saying
what the prophets lysozyme said this and that you don't find a single one from Allah or the Allahu
Taala and not one despite on Sudan Radi Allahu Taala Anna despite Anna Sivan radical the Allah Tala
and who not one of Alborada the Allah Tada and who saying I heard from the Prophets lie some this I
heard from the Prophets lie some that the only two words the man knew was ALLAH and Jana, right,
they said that this is a description of them and one of the books is that now you're ready for it.
illallah wa Jana, Allah and Jana, I love Allah and I want Jana which shows you Subhan Allah, that
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:09
			when you're reading in the history of these people, you don't always have to be, you don't always
have to be this perfect mold of a hero.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:53
			Heroes come in different shapes and colors and sizes, and in different levels and classes and
status. And this man that we're about to celebrate is indeed that person about the Allahu Tada
anthill. However, there is something about Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah and who as well, is that his
appearance was not just deceiving in that you might think he's not special, but he's actually
incredibly special in his relationship with Allah. The man was incredible in battle. I was gonna say
he was a beast, I don't want that to be misinterpreted. Who knows who watches this lecture later on,
and they don't understand this language. But when he was in battle, he was something else. Al Bara
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:27
			are the Allahu Taala and the fact that his enemy would underestimate him like you see, I need all
the Allahu Anhu coming and I'm going to be a part of the Allah annual coming you know, the
description of ideal the Allah I know is that if you took two hands and you put them around his
bicep, your fingers would not connect. That was the strength of saving that needle the allowance to
animals. So you're talking about as is when you're talking about these companions. They saw Al Bara
in the battlefield like Oh, piece of cake, he was not a piece of cake in the battlefield. The man
was so courageous that he single handedly will win battle after battle after battle after battle.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:13:06
			Part of the reason why is that the enemy always underestimates him. So the prophets lie some tells
the Muslims don't underestimate Alvarado, the Allahu taala. And as for the enemies, they're going to
be in trouble every time at battle, the Allahu Anhu shows up on the battlefield because they're
going to think something of him and then he's going to just wreak havoc on the battlefield. That is
his reputation as we will see in a very unique way. Now, just from a technical perspective, some of
the few narrations that we have with him, as we said, onwards, Al Bara is an every single battle,
okay, he's also one of those who attended by actual Ridwan, the pledge under the tree which is which
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:37
			are the people that Allah mentioned that He is pleased with the companions that Allah mentioned,
that He is pleased with the people who attended by a total of one? He is one of the people that did
not flee from the battle of quinine. There were very few people that did not flee from her name.
Bharat Well, the Allahu Anhu was one of those handful of people that stayed with the Prophet slice
Allah, and the Battle of her name, and did not flee. He also he was the person that would sing to
the camels on a journey.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:14
			All right. Now, this is very interesting, because some of you are like, What are you talking about?
And I don't want you to sing your, to your cars, right. But when you go on these battles, right,
these expeditions, you got to also attend to the camels, right. And the camels had a particular
tune, so you had to know the tune of the camels. Camels are very smart and intelligent animals by
the way. I remember when I first moved overseas, they're like, don't mess with the camel because
they'll find you 10 years later, find out where you live and they'll do something to your house. I
was like alright, I get it. The breadwinner is understood. So he was the person who when he would go
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:55
			out with the profit slice of them, he would be in charge of singing to the Campbells Okay, and so
the Allahu Taala and who says And Al Bara nomadic or the a lot of time and who can do the region?
What can gesture Yeah, Dubin, Nisa, there's another name that's very famous and jasha Well, the
Allahu Anhu. So Anna says that when we go out on a journey, Al Bara would tend to have to do meaning
he would sing to the camels that were carrying the men and and Joshua Radi Allahu Anhu would swim to
the camels that were carrying the women and they both had beautiful voices. Okay, so a brothel the
Allahu Anhu had a beautiful voice and just had a beautiful voice. And that's the famous Hadith the
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			Prophet slice and M said, yeah, and Joshua Rawai that so Akaka Bill kawari
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			and just take it easy with the camels that are carrying these precious vessels. But warrior is
talking about the women, why because of the camel sped up and just had such a voice, that if he made
the camels go too fast, he could make the women fall off of the camels. Okay, that's the shutter
have this hadith that that seems to make the most sense. There's a long discourse here that I don't
care to get into right now. But it just shows you, you know, at least you can imagine this person,
he's in charge of keeping the camels motivated because you got to keep your animals motivated. It's
like giving premium gas or unleaded gas to the car, you've got to have that guy. Because the profit
		
00:15:39 --> 00:16:18
			slice I'm used to take him for that purpose. And there are other narrations from anisul, the Allahu
taala. And hope that suggests that he would sometimes be the only person that was in charge of all
of the camels in a battle. Now, what is his most famous feat? So everything as I said about him is
in battle, there's literally no story about barato, the Allahu Anhu and a short biography that
doesn't exist in a battle, but there are lessons for all of us within it. The first one again, do
not belittle the person that's in front of you, you don't know what that status is with Allah
subhanaw taala and so just because we sometimes assign rank based upon material or visible or
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:50
			manifest things, Allah subhanho wa Taala has assigned value for different things so do not do not
look away from people do not look past people you don't know which person is special in the sight of
Allah Subhana Allah but then it's the courage here. So the most famous battle of Bharat while the
Allah Tada I know is the battle of Alia mana the Battle of Alia mana now I want to give you some
context of the Battle of your mama. If you go back to the story of washi we spoke about the Battle
of your mama and others
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:29
			the brother of almond ricotta well the Allahu Taala and Jose didn't ricotta battle the law and who
died in this battle multiple companions died in the battle of Alia mama, it was a very difficult
battle. The battle of the ye Mama was against a man by the name of most Salem Al Khattab will Salem
the liar mill Salem or the false prophet. Now what a lot of people don't understand about Messina is
that Maceda did not just claim to be a prophet, He would murder people viciously, ruthlessly. I mean
crucify people that did not accept His prophet hood after the Prophet SAW Selim. And he rose in the
time of the prophets lie some of them he started to wear his hat in the time of the prophets lie
		
00:17:29 --> 00:18:04
			some he wrote a letter to the prophets lie Selim from Mustela ma rasool Allah to Muhammad Rasool
Allah, even addressing the prophets lie some that way. And of course, the prophets lie some called
him Al Khattab, the liar, and we'll say lemma was a brutal opponents, a brutal false prophet, and he
came from Beto Hanifa, which was one of the most difficult tribes with the prophets like Selim. And
so Ben Hanifa out of their tribalism, they said Kedah Ben Hanif that the the liar of bento Hanifa is
better than the Sadhak than the truthful one of Quran. Like we know he doesn't make sense. We know
most Muslim even had his own Quran.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			And what was his Quran all about food.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:51
			All of his Quran was about food, right? He just Surah after Surah after Surah about food, he used to
eat a lot. All right. And people would laugh at him and mock him. But you know what? He's our guy
because he's from our tribe. He's from our people. And we'll say them I would slaughter people. I
mean, slaughter people, entire caravans for not acknowledging him as a prophet after the prophets
lie. Selim apobec killed the Allahu Tada and who was the first one to officially go into battle with
him. And this most famous battle was the Battle of India mama and mill Salem had people he had arms,
he had warriors, okay. And he had an entire cut out of land where he could where he could, you know,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:32
			attract and lower his enemy and then just viciously killed him. And Pamela you know, the Battle of
the amendment to give you some some context to it as well. This is the battle where so many fathers
Quran were killed. That actually led to American katapola The Allahu Anhu to suggest to Abu Bakr
Radi Allahu Anhu let's go ahead and produce multiple mishaps of the Quran because so many her father
being killed we don't want I mean, it was inconceivable that all of the Father would be killed. But
you know what, we need to have copies of the Quran written as well. You know, we need to initiate
this quicker so that it does not become vulnerable to what's happening right now. I will record on
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:59
			the low Turner annual dispatches first and foremost to Ekrem ibn Abi Johanna Nkrumah, Radi Allahu
taala. And in Abidjan to fight against Muslim Eric Rama goes in the first thrust and he actually
fails. Okay, so multiple casualties on the Muslim side. And it was it was very, very concerning.
Then I will back it'll be a lot of time and who sounds highly dependent on either the Allahu Taala
and and Khalid or the law animal has
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:28
			Al Bara ibn Malik Radi Allahu Anhu with him. Now, one of the ways that Messiah was winning this
battle was that he had this fortress, and it was nicknamed Hedionda to promote the garden of death.
Why? Because if even if you got him you were gonna die. So they had a really strong fortress. They
would shoot arrows from that fortress and throw all sorts of weapons, you know, catapults from that
fortress, but no one could get into that fortress.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			So but no Malik, this is his most famous then
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:43
			he says Takata didn't lead. He says, Look, I'm really small. He says, strap me to a shield. And
catapult me into the fortress.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			And I will open it from inside.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			And then you can attack
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			me think about that. Like, wait, what?
		
00:20:53 --> 00:21:02
			catapult me in to the fortress. And I'll make my way to the door to the gate of the fortress. I'll
kill the guards. I'll get the fortress open.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			And I'll let all of you in.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:28
			Now, of course, like to a lot of people like this is bravery. But it's also reckless. We can't do
that. Right? Like I mean, what? What do you mean? You're gonna die? Allah was like, I don't care. He
says, Yeah, man, I started Muslimeen only Allah him. Oh, Muslims, throw me at them. Go ahead and
throw me at them. So eventually, they agreed to the plan.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:33
			They tie a bra while the Allahu Taala and who they strap him to a shield.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:42
			And they catapult him into Hadid got to remove the garden of death. And guess what? It works?
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			Alvarado, the Allahu Taala and who lands on top of them.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:58
			And he's able to kill enough people and kill the guards of the fortress and bust open the gate. And
the Muslims could storm it.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:42
			So it worked. And he didn't die. Subhanallah so I mean, it was it was a very interesting situation
that happened with him. So he I mean, they're they have the sense of confidence. And of course
there's an element of surprise here like you don't expect a guy to fall on top of you. Right like
you're expecting arrows some Brock's not a human being. But look at this man. Look at the courage.
Look at the bravery of this man. Right. And so, there were 20,000 people in this fortress by the
way. Okay, and total, and Alborada are the Allahu Taala and who flies in and Subhanallah his it's
his shock and what he's able to do and because of his size, and because they said he was extremely
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:53
			agile, right? He's very small. And so he was quick. He was able to cause all sorts of problems for
them. And the Muslim storms. He didn't stop there.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:04
			Elvira Scarlett who is their most severe warrior who's the person on their side, that's the scary
person who's who's their Boogeyman.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:14
			And his nickname they actually Muslimah had a man by the name of him that his nickname was came out
of your mama the donkey of your mama huge guy
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:36
			you know used to do it with people I know that sounds like a movie but it's actually history
Subhanallah Hemmati the mommy said Mama there's this man that will say them his right hand man
basically his personal bodyguard will say them as personal bodyguard was this gigantic main man that
they called him out of your mama His name is actually not mentioned just the donkey of the amount.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:42
			So Barack said after I let you all in I'm gonna go to him.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			I'm gonna find him.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:59
			And subhanAllah he shows up musei lemma is behind he model your mama because Mercedes was a coward
right? Our prophets lies I'm used to be in the front. When Satan was all the way in the back hiding
behind his his man, his guy
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:06
			al Bara walks up to him. The guy thinks it's a joke. You
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:14
			and Al Bara I mean by the way, I'm just gonna be real here. This history is kind of *. He
literally chops him down and kills him.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:25
			Okay, single handedly chops the man down and kills him mill Salem has taken by surprise that gave
the opening to washy to throw the spear
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:59
			will Salem Al Qaeda and as we said watching who killed Hamza while the Allahu Anhu and then repented
became Muslim. He said I killed the best of people with the spear and the same spear that he killed
the uncle of the Prophet slice I'm with so cotton to hide on us. I killed the best of people and he
said Patel to Sharon, us. I killed the worst of people. This is my Toba to Allah. I took out Hamza
I'm going to take out Muslim and kids up. So it was Al Bara chopping down him out on your mama, the
personal bodyguard of Macedo that opens the way for this to happen.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:45
			According to multiple documents of this, but he it's not like he wasn't hurt abre or the Allahu
Anhu. I mean, he's the hero of this battle in multiple ways people spoke about him and they sang his
praises from this battle a lot of the A lot of times I know they said that he was wounded with over
80 wounds in the Battle of a gamma. But he did not die. Over 80 wounds he suffered, but he did not
die. They said half of them were arrows and half of them were sorts. I mean, but the guy was cut up
everywhere Subhanallah somehow he survived it and look at the honor of him highly dependable either
on the long side and who stayed with him for an entire month to nurse him and to take care of him
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			because how little the Allah attributed the victory of India mama to him.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:24
			So he talked about a pretty significant stance from Alborada the a lot of data and and we're just
getting started by the way, but that's his most significant stance. I mean, just this idea of the
way that ALLAH SubhanA wa has added create a different people for different things. That's what he
did well the Allah Tada and one had a little the Allah and who loved him so much and honored him so
much. He spent a whole month with him, nursing his wounds, taking care of him, and attributing that
thanking him for what he did in the Battle of India mama. Now I'm going to talk about the Allahu
Anhu becomes Khalifa. All right, now you're gonna hear something really, really interesting.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:34
			Shouldn't this guy be a commander? Shouldn't this guy be an army general? I mean, he's this heroic.
He's this brave? Shouldn't he be in charge of a big army like Orlando the longtime? What do you
think?
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			Amara is a wise man, right?
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:56
			I'm gonna I'm gonna Cotabato the Allahu Tada and home when he becomes Khalifa. He sends a letter to
all of his governors and learn to start middle Bara Allah Jason Manjushri Muslimeen do not use al
Bara as a commander of any army from the armies of the Muslims.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			Why do you think that is? actually want to hear some? Yeah.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			He's a bit over the top.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:14
			Oh my God, Allah Tada. I know. He says for in the home Malika. I mean, that's what he writes. He
says he will get people killed.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:37
			He's, he's, he's courageous. He's brave. But he can't lead an army. Because if he leads an army,
then he might project his own courage and his own bravery on everyone else behind him. And the
general has to kind of be a strategist, right? He's got to play things a little bit slow at times a
little bit, but I had one you know, one speed.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:28:16
			He just went and so I modeled the Allah Tada. I know again, so interesting. So hello, I'll model the
law and who says no one use him as a commander of any army, because you'll be leading them to
destruction. Keep using him and he praised him. He says keep using him. You know as as a soldier,
he's the best soldier that you can possibly have. But be careful with him. Because if he's leading a
battalion if he's leading army, he's gonna get people in trouble he's gonna get people killed which
shows you Subhanallah by the way, the wisdom of owner katabi Allah Tala annual armor is all the law.
I know you could write books of leadership from America, Pablo, the law of town and right and people
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:51
			have, you know, just his his foresight, his vision, his wisdom, His balance, his understanding of
circumstances, the way he he's able to steer the Muslims through famine and plague and through the
Romans and the Persians, all types of things are modeled the law, I know how he handles policy on
the inside and on the outside, right, his domestic and his foreign policy. You could all learn it,
you could learn it from America tabula and which shows you that just because someone is an amazing
Muslim, doesn't mean that they're fit for every position. That's also from the genius of Amina
Muhammad Ali Alana, and I know is that you don't put people in positions that aren't suited for
		
00:28:51 --> 00:29:30
			them, just because they're good people or because they're righteous people. That's not how the
prophets lie. Some dealt with things and that's not how the Companions dealt with things. So this
was not a knock on an baratos personality. It wasn't a knock on his status with Allah subhanaw
taala. That's not where he's best suited. He's not going to do you best as the commander of an army.
Another lesson that we learned from Ahmed real hilltop Radi Allahu taala. And in this regard with
within Bara or the Allah Tala, and now al Bara was was such a great warrior, though, that he posed a
few issues because sometimes he disproportionately, you know, accounted for casualties on the other
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			side.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:36
			And so when they distributed the spoils of war, sometimes there were too many spoils for everybody.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:51
			Because the raw disproportionately would take out from the enemy. I mean, he was just that good of a
fighter of a warrior in the field. And subhanAllah one of the battles of Attabad ain al Bara was
actually the one who you know,
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:59
			the Persian commander because Bahrain was under the Persians at the time. The Persian commander his
name was Maurice bomb
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:10
			Maurice ban had like this whole posse around him of like the best warriors of Persia. Albert single
handedly just went through all of them, including my husband.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:50
			And almost all the loads, I had to actually make a decision about all the spoils of war with him
right about the even distribution, sort of evening them out, and he didn't care again, but I'll be
alone who wasn't doing this for worldly things. This was how Allah subhanaw taala created him. And
this was the way that he continued forward. So he single handedly took out the Persian commander by
the name of marzban also the Battle of God the see if you read about the most difficult battle of
the Muslims against the empires of the day, the Battle of Akkad the sea it was the most difficult
battle that they had the Battle of apostasy it was extremely difficult. God the SIA was were
		
00:30:50 --> 00:31:09
			multiple companions died in the hundreds, where you had the Persians bring out sort of their full
force against the Muslims in this battle. And subhanAllah one of the things that used to always
happen with a brothel the Allahu Taala and is that throughout the battle people would come to abre
and say yeah, but axiom Allah robic.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:49
			Take an oath upon your Lord make you out for victory, because we know that your DUA is answered so
the Companions would be reminding a brothel the Allah Tada animal while he's going around slicing in
the field and you know, this this little this little physical persons of hella would would just this
massive impact in the field, they remind him to make their art to Allah subhanaw taala but all the a
lot of time animal would make the loudly and they used to take comfort in hearing the DUA, or the
Allahu Taala and one so he was also instrumental in the Battle of Akkad. The CM there are multiple
battles in this regard and diplomatic are the longtime and
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:55
			he has a narration about his brother and so we have these narrations from anisum interacting with
his brother but
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			and also the Allahu Taala and who said
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:45
			one time I entered upon my brother the hello to Alan Bharat Malik Radi Allahu taala. And who will
who almost tell him Allah chirashi well, who will Yun she do a beatin Mina Sherif Khanna who yet to
run be hidden. So they entered upon him and it looked like he was dying. I thought my brother was
going to die. And he was singing these lines of poetry. And these were the war songs. This is what
the man does. So he was singing battle songs. Now when someone is dying, right? You want to tell
them what say Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, read the Quran, you know, so and so the Allahu Anhu thinks
he's gonna die. And here he is singing the songs of battle. I'm recounting some of the moments in
		
00:32:45 --> 00:33:09
			the battlefield, which is what he knows. So and so the Allahu taala. And who says, Rahim Allah,
Abdullah, Allah who will be here now who will Heydo Minho Al Quran said, may Allah have mercy on
you, my brother, Allah has given you something better to read in these moments. Why don't you read
Quran right now? You know, gentle nudge, if these are your last moments which which it appears to be
then read the Quran
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:18
			and NSL the Allah data and who said he looked at me full confidence. He says a total humble and more
to Allah philosophy. You think I'm going to die on my bed?
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:27
			You think I'm gonna die here? He said Lau Allah. He said No, by Allah, Allah will not deprive me
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:44
			of death in the battlefield. He said that I have been able to overcome over 100 by my own hand, and
that is not including those that I overcame with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam by my side,
Allah is not going to take Allah is not going to deprive me of that death.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:53
			And subhanAllah and so the Allahu Anhu says, sometime after that he healed and he got back a lot of
the a lot of time and who got back
		
00:33:54 --> 00:34:33
			and this is where Subhan Allah when you talk about the heroic nature of this young man and a
contribution and I don't want you I mean some of you are probably like what are we getting out of
all the battle after battle after battle next next time we'll talk about Ebola human on Saudi will
the Allah and we'll talk about some of the nice stories personal interactions, inshallah Tada again,
but we got to honor our heroes and their legacies, Albarado the allot of time. In a famous Merica a
famous battle was called not the Malaka have to stop to stop was also a difficult battle against the
Persians and a time of honorable culpability Allah Tada and who and the Muslims were about to lose
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:33
			that battle.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:59
			And so they yelled out to Al Bara or the Allahu Taala and and they said yeah, but no UC Santa Ana
Arabic, a Barack Obama, if you take an oath upon your Lord, He will answer for axiom and Arabic so
take an oath upon your Lord. So I'll borrow the law and who raises his hands and he says XM to Allah
aka Rob Lana nocturna ACTA home. Oh Allah I call upon you. I'm asked
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:09
			aiming for victory, give us their backs. I'm asking you for victory Oh ALLAH and so the Muslims
advanced and then they started to get beaten back again.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:43
			And they said to Alberto oxen Allah rob the cobra, take an oath upon your Lord so he did it again
the exact same thing. And then a third time Alborada the Allah Tada and who did it and Al Bara are
the Allahu Taala and who said, Allah hum oxen Maliki Yara, lemma nocturna ACTA who will help me
being a B IC. O L Haqqani, Bina B IC, O Allah, I asked you for victory. And let me be with your
profit. Let me follow your profit. Like I'm ready to go now.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:48
			This point now at about all the allotted time, I'm hoping he had a moment in his day
		
00:35:49 --> 00:36:00
			where he missed the prophets lie Selim and he, you know, at this point, he's asking for shahada let
me follow now into the ranks of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam let me be with the Prophet
sighs.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			Now Subhan Allah, this is
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:14
			this gets a little bit vivid, but it's it's very important. And it's cinematical, the Allah Tada and
who says I was with my brother. And the Persians had this strategy.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:46
			I mean, it's really it's really vivid, by the way from NSL de la Tada and who it's actually
shockingly vivid, but he says, Don't worry, I'm gonna keep it. PG and Charlotte's are in this
regard. But he said they had hot hooks, they had burning hooks that they were throwing over the
gates, and they were catching people with these burning hooks, right? They were trying to catch
people. And they pulled them over. So it's burning Iren, right. And they're throwing them over. And
they're catching people catching people catching people. So they're tossing them and that was one of
the strategies that they used and Anasazi Allahu taala. And who said,
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			I got caught by one of the hooks
		
00:36:51 --> 00:37:33
			SubhanAllah. He said, I got caught by one of the hooks. And he said, and they would just pull you
back to them. And that was it. You'd either die from the heat or the catch of the hook or they'd
kill you when you were caught over. And he said, My brother Al Bara or the Allah Tada and who jumped
on me. And he removed me from the burning iron with his own two hence Subhanallah like, look at that
Kirche look at that selflessness. Look at this love, removed me. He unhooked me with his own two
hands until there was nothing left on his hand. Subhanallah like it burned his hands, just saving my
life. So he saved the life of Anissa dramatically a long time.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			And he said and shortly after that he was killed.
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:54
			So the last memory of Anna's of his brother was him saving his life. He unhooked me from that hook
and he was martyred in that battle. And the Muslims were granted victory. So Subhanallah they
actually went on to win that battle, which was his.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:38:05
			His that was that they win the battle of two star and that he gets to join the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. His last action on this earth was saving the life of Anissa medical the law of
turn.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:29
			If that's not beautiful, and profound, I don't know what is Subhanallah and anisul. The Allahu Anhu.
His last image of him was that and this was just 20 years after Hijra. And I want you to just think
Subhanallah about this again, you don't have Hadith from a brothel the law Teller and you don't have
1000 Hadith from Alibaba. But what if Anasazi Allahu Anhu died that day?
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:38
			That whole legacy of Hadith that we have an annus ethnomedical The Allahu Taala and over 1000 edits
		
00:38:40 --> 00:39:22
			Allah Allah decrees that moment snap decision right split split decision and he has to go in that in
that moment. Make that snap decision to go into save Anissa grammatical the Allah Tala Ando and put
himself at risk the entire decade's worth this is 20 years after hits at all. Okay, so Anasazi Allah
Tada and who would have been 30 years old in this moment and so the Allah lived another 70 plus
years after this moment, the entire legacy of Annecy canonical the Allahu Taala and who was at risk
at that moment and that entire contribution that reaches us and so that's why when you're talking
about underestimated an unsung heroes, the fighting against musei lemma, and being instrumental in
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:26
			that battle was a significant contribution to the preservation of the Quran.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:37
			And the saving of the life of Annecy, Abdul Malik Radi Allahu Taala and who was a significant
contribution to the Sierra and the Sunnah that reached us of our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam.
		
00:39:38 --> 00:40:00
			So when you talk about owing someone hamdulillah for Al Bara, Abdul Malik hamdulillah for that
moment, where Allah azza wa jal inspired him to save the life of Anna supramolecular the Allahu
Taala and who, to where he got to go join his Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as the Shahid that
he wants it to be, and he left behind us Anasazi Allahu Anhu who would tell us everything
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:26
			We wanted to know about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for seven decades after hamdulillah
for that contribution, may Allah subhanaw taala reward Albarado the Allahu Taala and, and be pleased
with him May Allah azza wa jal be pleased with him. May Allah subhanaw taala join us with the
companions with the family and our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and for those that
Allah, Allah Allah Amin Zachman, lo Hydra in sha Allah Tana, I will go ahead and take questions and
show
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			yes
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:46
			but himself, so who were the strong warriors that surrounded it, but he himself was the strong
warrior, so he didn't need anybody around.
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:49
			He was really strong himself.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:52
			Yes.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56
			If you can raise your voice and Shaw, I can hear you.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:53
			Excellent, what made his draft accepted? You know, like, what made him so close? We don't know.
Clearly, I mean, these these acts of courage, there's something special being generated inside of
him, right. But that's actually the point that the profit slice I'm making is that so many of the
ODS, so many of those people that are close to Allah, they're protective of their relationship with
Allah. They're so protective of their relationship with Allah like you wouldn't assume anything of
them. And especially if they have an unassuming presence in society, they're very quiet. He's very
quiet, right? I mean, not a single Hadith where Allah spoke up in the gathering. Allah Allah Jana
		
00:41:53 --> 00:42:02
			Call me when his battle. That was his life. It's incredible. Subhanallah like, I'm not interested in
anything else. Just call me when it's time for battle, and I'll be that guy.
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:15
			But the fact that he's so unassuming, the prophets lie. Some is saying, You don't know the
relationship that man has with Allah. And with the Olia, many of them are silence because of how
much they talk to Allah.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:54
			They're enjoying their conversation with God. And the more that you enjoy your conversation with
Allah, the more that you tend to find conversation with people not being very satisfying. And so
that's a personality type. And I think this is the beauty of the Sahaba of the prophets, like Selim
is, men and women, they're so different. Right? And their path to gender, their path to greatness is
so different. Like, if you study we've done 80 lectures so far, every biography fits a different
personality type, you know, men and women, you know, there's unschooling, and there's Khadija right?
May Allah be pleased with them. There's another and there's a lot these are two brothers, that are I
		
00:42:54 --> 00:43:19
			mean, from the same mother and father, and Subhanallah, very, very different people like anisul the
law, or the law and we have like entirely different trajectories, there is nothing really narrated
about anisul the law and on the battlefield, that wasn't his thing. He was called the moral story.
Last line Salam he was the in the service of the prophets lie some in life and indef Subhan Allah,
but that was honest, his path to Allah subhanaw taala. So may Allah be pleased with all the
companions? Yes.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:32
			There are a lot of
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:51
			can you repeat the question? I'm sorry, one of the one of the There we go. This helps that
Hamdulillah you got the mic now, sir.
		
00:43:53 --> 00:44:32
			Thank you, could it be considered a one of the den de la noir that Allah combined these people,
these very special households to be the companions of the magic of Allah? Yeah, I haven't seen
anything like that after his time. Yes, I believe it was a very happy who said that if the only
miracle and proof of the Prophet slice on him was his companions, the fact that without power, the
prophesy son was able to gather this group of people, this class of people and put them all in this
position, like Kapha that's in and of itself, a sufficient proof, like the Prophet's life and I'm
having this generation of people and inspiring them all to their best to their best version of
		
00:44:32 --> 00:45:00
			themselves. And then creating that community, without any of the instruments of power is in and of
itself, a proof of his prophethood SallAllahu it was something that everyone had a role to play in
the community of the Prophet slice of it. I mean, it's genius. It's prophetic. It's divine
Subhanallah every single person to the Arabs and Barack would have had no use. Right? Oh, he's, you
know, he's the skinny, wiry, he has nothing he's not he's not prominent. He's not prestigious. He's
not Al
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:33
			Look when he's not strong, they would have tossed him aside. But Subhanallah I mean, two of the most
honored people have been Mr. Little De La Arnhold Bharat well the Allah I know without the Allah no
habla de la like everyone finds a place in the community of the prophets like Selim, and gets
propelled towards this greatness that we're still talking about today. So it's definitely a proof of
Prophethood because the prophets I'm inspired that in them, you know, how much did they love the
Prophet slice, tell them that they're thinking about him in these moments? You know, he specifically
he didn't say, oh, Allah shahada in that moment, he intended it but you know, it happened even to be
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:56
			I want to be with my prophet. And so while you have all these loving hadith of anisopliae, Allah and
we're talking about us, Allah sai Salam, dreaming of the Prophet slice every night. Alvarado the
Allah I know how to deepen his heart. He just didn't talk about it. It was something that he had in
his heart and from that moment came Yeah, Allah I want to be with the Prophet. And Allah granted him
that exactly. Alright, any brothers questions? Yeah.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			Can you raise your voice?
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:06
			Do we know anything about his childhood zero.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:40
			Um, when I talk about like, this was a hard lecture to prepare. This was a hard lecture prepare.
Because you sit when you search button, any database you get the Broadmoor as a bit of a problem.
He's not even in some of the books in this regard. Rice, you have to scrap pieces, and I could not
find anything about his childhood, to the point that we don't even know if the name is his mom. I
mean, that that if that's not obscurities, panela I mean, we don't even know. For a fact though.
It's it's it seems to be the case. That he's honest. His brother both through mother and father.
Exactly. I thought I saw him here. Yeah.
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			Any of the what?
		
00:46:45 --> 00:47:07
			His age? So the age? It seems to be that he was he was definitely older than anisul The Allahu
taala. And so it seems to be he was older than Anna's. And Allahu Allah. It seems like he was
probably a teenager when the prophets like when he accepted Islam when the Prophet slicin came to
Medina, which would have explained why he didn't fight and better so he was slightly older than
anisopliae longtown on
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:17
			the age at shahada 20 years after his grace I mean, he would have been in his early 30s right his
30s mid 30s early 30s At that time
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:20
			Yes, sir.
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:29
			How did honest dot I mean, honestly, brother die. Like how did Anistar how to anuses brother die?
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:38
			Because you talk about this brother. Yeah, brother. I missed his brother. He died in this battle
this last battle after he saved on us his life.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:42
			Yep.
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:45
			Simulation
		
00:47:49 --> 00:48:26
			SubhanAllah. Good question. So the one province lies on Sudan while the Allahu Anhu put
unnecessarily low on her forehead and said make the art for him and the prophets lie some major art
for the family was he included in that? Maybe not in that specific drought but like how many times
the profit slice and make do out for that family? I mean, he literally go to their houses just to
pray for them. So that whole family is blessed And subhanAllah like, you can't you can't disconnect
like what was what was nourished and nurtured in these people? Like, when when when I told the story
of Celine Radi Allahu Anhu I saw somebody like, whoa, wow, that level of selflessness is like
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:55
			unheard of. It's too much almost right. It's a level of sacrifice that we're not accustomed to. It's
like the ultimate manifestation of the unsought look at her sons. Look at her son's you know,
subhanAllah look at her kids and what they what they do, how they live. So there's something to be
said about the DNA and the DNA that gets transferred here in this family and this is this is another
fruit of Amsterdam, and I'll be alone and that's how she taught her kids. Right? That's another
fruit of them so they will be allowed to touch on her with her child.
		
00:48:56 --> 00:49:00
			And may Allah make him you know, from her scale? Yes.
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:09
			Yes, Al Bara even Malik was older than unassuming Malik. Great question on Bella. Exactly.
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:11
			Yes.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:13
			One
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:17
			lost, he never lost the battle.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:24
			By the way, like it's battle after battle after battle, he never lost and the Muslims knew when he
was there, they weren't gonna lose.
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:32
			It was sort of understood. His drought was gonna get them through and then his antics would get them
through. But
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:39
			Subhanallah you know, it's one of the beautiful things about him. I'll take one more question shot
from the sisters maybe or.
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:59
			We know so yeah. What lesson do we take? I'm telling you Subhan Allah
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:07
			Like there are people in our midst. See young sister Afreen, 22 years old.
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			22 years old her father's in prison.
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:14
			She watched her house destroyed.
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:51
			Like I was talking to, I mean, like I talked to her and I'm like, Who Who is this? She's so settled,
calm, composed. I mean, I'm like, there are people in our midst of courage. Learn half of Allah
hilang Matala don't fear except Allah subhanaw taala. Don't fear the blame of the blame, or the
tyranny of the tyrant or the oppression of the oppressor are the backbiting of the back biter or the
slander of the slander. That's where we take this. This is this is what certainty looks like. And

less than bravery that we can take the nighttime

00:51:39 --> 00:51:50
			she probably would have been very, very nervous all the time. Right? Allahu on him, but I could not
find any documentation of a wife in this regard. But yeah, I think about the blood pressure when he
leaves the house.
		
00:51:51 --> 00:52:21
			So his legacy is different Subhanallah his legacy is very different. But we all owe him because we
can say and as an as I'm also the last is that I'm from Anna's from the Prophet slice and that's one
of the things we may Allah be pleased with the Companions May Allah sent His peace and blessings
upon the prophets I said I'm in his family. May Allah azza wa jal join us with them Allah Amin
