Omar Suleiman – Khalid Ibn Said Ibn al-‘As (ra) A Dream of the Prophet – The Firsts

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah Ricketts. Everyone. Welcome back to the first shorts. I hope that the
night Tada that you are benefiting from this new series that we are doing which of course keeps us
within the domain of the companions of the Prophet slice. And as you're learning about new
companions, and the capacity of the angels, in sha Allah to Allah in this situation as well, we'll
continue to explore the names of some of these people who were early on in Islam, great contributors
to Islam, but we don't know much about. So I've been asked so many times. When are we going to talk
about how to draw the alonside on of course, that means how to read it all the allotted time. I know
		

			and he deserves a huge lesson, right? We're going to definitely elaborate on the life of highly
dependable either the Lauryn Hill but that's probably going to be much later on, in the series of
Allah gives us life because kata diviner will, of course, embrace this not much later on a snap. But
we're talking about the early Muslims right now. And there is another harlot. And what if I told you
that this Khalid, Khalid bin sorry, the US is said to have embraced Islam, within a few hours of a
pullback in a study called the Lavon. That's as early as it comes. I'm gonna talk about the story,
inshallah Tada, because it truly is a fascinating story, when we talk about her early is so highly
		

			of insight, in that Alice is not one of the law, I thought of my case, not one of the weak ones of
Mecca. In fact, he's from Romania. So he's from a very powerful tribe in Makkah. Now, he doesn't
seem to be someone, though he has a prominent lineage and someone who has, you know, wealth and
position, he doesn't seem to be someone who assumed any political role in Mecca. But at the same
time, again, just being from Ben Omiya, being a son of side of the house is a big deal. And what we
find from him is that Khalid bin say, though, the last time he had a nickname of the touch, the
possessor of the crown, and that was because when he wore a mama when he wore his turban, in a
		

			certain style or a certain color, no one else would dare to wear the same turban as him. So he wore
a unique turban. And when he would change that turban, other people would start to wear it, but you
didn't wear the same turban as him. So he was distinguished even in his turban, while the low tide
I'm hooked to where you called him, the touch the possessor of the crown. Now, his coming to Islam,
		

			so beautiful. He sees a dream of himself. And this is before he has heard that the prophets lie,
some is even calling to this religion. But this is the loss of hundreds out of showing something to
him. He sees this dream. And he says, In this dream, I was standing in front of a valley full of
fire. And that fire was consuming itself because of how severe how hot it was. So he seen a valley
of hellfire, and he was terrified by that fire, suddenly says, Well, I'm looking at the Valley of
Fire. I see my father behind me. So AWS, and he comes to me, and he tries to push me into it. And
when I resist, he literally starts to wrestle with me, and he tries to throw me into that fire. And
		

			so he says, as I'm in the dream, fighting off my father's efforts to throw me into the fire, the
Prophet salallahu it who was Selim comes to me, and the Prophet slicin grabs me by the waist belt,
and he pulls me away from the fire. So Allah Hardy, who was sullen, and then I woke up, just humble.
I mean, there's, of course great symbolism in this but also the fact that the Prophet slice of them
describe this as an analogy, a parable of himself. He says I to you. I'm like a man that is standing
in front of a fire. And there are fireflies that are trying to jump into the fire and the prophets
license that I'm trying to grab you all and stop you from falling into it, and I'm grabbing you by
		

			the waist belts, but some of you are slipping from my hands. So in the case of side, hotter than the
side of the house, he's literally seeing that dream, where the prophesy some pulls him by the waist
belt, and saves him from falling into the fire. So when he wakes up from that dream, he leaves his
house he knows Mohammed Abdullah Sala Larissa, but he hasn't even heard of a new religion. And as he
is coming out of his home, he runs into a bucket of Cydia called the low tide I know. And he says to
Apple bucket because I will Beckett was known for his ability to interpret dreams amongst other
things, interpretation of dreams, and his knowledge of lineage and ancestry. He says silverbucket He
		

			said I saw this strange dream last night. Let me run it by you. So back to the law on who says what
is it? So he said, I saw this dream where I was standing in front of the Valley of Fire. And I was
about to fall into the fire. My father was behind me trying to push me into the fire and then
Muhammad bin Abdullah SallAllahu sallam, he came to me and he grabbed me by the waistbelt
		

			And he pulled me away from the fire. So we'll back it all the loads had he smiles and he says, Well
LAHIA thought it, luck God or Allah Who because he said, I swear by Allah ohada Allah one's good for
you. So he says to him, this is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is calling to the worship
of one God, and protecting us in the process from the punishment of the Hereafter. So hard it says,
Take me to him. harlot says, Oh, vacuolar the Allahu Anhu took him to him, and the Prophet slicin
and was in a jihad and he was supplicating to Allah subhanaw taala he was worshiping Allah, so he
found them in a place of making dua to Allah subhanho wa taala. So he said, I said to him, no matter
		

			the real Mohammed, what are you calling to, oh, Muhammad, tell me about this religion that you're
calling to. So he said, he started to tell him about, you know, the religion, that the prophets I
said, I'm explained to him that I'm calling you to the worship of one God, and to abandon a lot
we'll reserve all of these idols, these stones that do not benefit you, nor do you benefit them, nor
can they do anything to the one who worships them or to the one who abandons them. So I'm calling
you to the worship of one God and Khalid are the Allahu Anhu. At that moment embraces Islam. Some of
the scholars have seen or some of the narration say, that was within hours of apobec in making him
		

			homies to Hamza Islam, the fifth of five in Islam. So after Ali and aboubaker, after Khadija,
Abubakar Ali, may Allah be pleased with them, that he is the very next person to embrace the snom
but that his Islam was on the same day of Abubakar Siddique or the launch I don't know. I mean, that
is incredible, right? I mean, how early on and How blessed is he to have seen that dream that night
and what Allah subhanaw taala wanted for him as a result of that. So he embraced Islam, right away
all the law. And as we said, you know, we're talking about some of these companions, who was first
you have this group of people that you could all make a claim, right, you know, to who's the fourth,
		

			who's the fifth at this point. But that's how early he is will be allowed to enter now his father,
of course, you can derive from the dream that he had was not a very good man, and was someone that
was indeed, trying to call him to the hellfire. His father was one of the people that used to work
in the construction of the idols and the festivals and the pilgrimages and the sacrifices to the
idols and of course, politically held a very high place with venerable may as well. So his father
immediately when he heard about the prophets, I send them calling to Islam. He immediately became a
staunch enemy of the Prophet size in a bundle Hashem Beatlemania. I mean that's, that says it all.
		

			So when he heard the news, that the Prophet slicin was calling to Islam, he immediately wanted to
fight the prophets lie some and stop him from going any further, as was the case with Ben Mejia.
Now, as he is declaring his enmity he hears from, from some of his other children, that they heard
that the Prophet slice on them had reached his own son harlot. So what does he do? He sends his
other two sons, okay. To go and to get him and to bring Carla to him. So his other two sons whose
names are armed and other than armed and and so I'm Adan, go to get Khalid and bring him to his
father. Khalid is brought to him and he says to him, is it true what I've heard, and he said, It's
		

			true. He said, I've embraced the religion of the one God and I've abandoned these idols that you
call us to worship. And he said to him, you will leave this religion now and come back to the
religion of your father and your forefathers, Khalid insisted that he would not he said that I will
not obey you in the disobedience of Allah subhanho to Allah. So when he said that, Syed took a
stick, and he cracked his skull, he hit him right across the head, and he cracked the skull. And so
the blood came running down, and he ordered Khalid to be imprisoned, and to be starved for three
days. So Khalid is taken to a particular, you know, corner chamber in the home, and he's guarded,
		

			and no food reaches him for three days, while he's in that situation. And then he sends a messenger
to see if he changed his mind, hoping that he broke under those circumstances, because he'd never
seen anything like that, right. I mean, this is a man who lived a very privileged life, so he'd
never seen that type of persecution. So usually someone that had a relatively easy life or
privileged life would crack quicker under persecution. Instead, when he sends his messenger to him,
he said, Well, Llahi I will not follow him in the disobedience of Allah. And here's where this gets
even more interesting. He son so even though our sons Ahmed and a band to convince him to leave his
		

			religion, what ends up happening instead is that other than become Muslim, or the Allahu Taala
anima. So now Khalid converts his brother
		

			as well, so Khalid, Ahmed and Adan amongst the early Muslims in this regard, but of course God has
proceeded all of them in Islam. When the migration to Abyssinia takes place caught, it has to escape
persecution, of course, as we said, the persecution of some of the privileged and the elite was
behind closed doors, but of course, it still was severe for some of them. So how did there was one
of those who was under severe persecution by his father and by Ben Omiya, in general, so he takes
his brothers and he goes to Abyssinia and that is where he is going to settle until the Prophet
slice alum gives him permission to come to Medina. Now what role does he play in Abyssinian? Again,
		

			sometimes these names come up and you don't even think twice about them. When the prophets I send
them
		

			proposed to ohm Habiba or the Allahu Taala Anna, the daughter of Abba Sophia, who was in Abyssinia
and her husband had passed away, and we've talked about him Habibollah the alarm on her in detail.
Remember the prophets lie some of them chose and the Joshy or the Allahu Anhu to represent him. So
Now Joshua is going to conduct this niqab of the prophets lie Selim in Abyssinia while the prophets
lie some is absent and under Joshua is his representative, right officially his representative in
this wedding. And he says to him Habiba to choose a Wali. Okay, her father, of course was I was fan.
And so her Welly would be the closest, the closest relative and that was Khalid even said, the last
		

			why because, of course, the same tribe and the closest relative and of course, God was known for his
righteousness all the time. And that is when an Joshy holds this nigga, this wedding, in his palace,
he dismisses all of his guards, he sets up these beautiful gardens, you know, this beautiful feast
this meal, and he gathers Jafar or the Allahu Taala and who are beloved to her that follow the law
and who we've already spoken about. And Harley Davidson ate all the law hotel and home and he
conducts this NiCad with Habiba are the Allahu Anhu and he is the one who proposes on behalf of the
Prophet slice on them and this man had been say either will be alone and who responds by praising
		

			Allah subhana wa Tada and sending salawat and he says, I have married to you on Habiba. I have
married um, Habiba. Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam in accordance with what was said. So Khalid said
for BarakAllahu li Rasulillah So may Allah subhana wa Tada bless, little, little lot. May Allah
subhana wa or he congratulate social Lhasa Lai southern in that regard. And then the Joshy will be
allowed to add on who brings out the feast as he says it is the Sunnah of the prophets of Allah,
that when a marriage is carried out that there's a walima that there's a feast as well. So this was
Khalid's role and Avicennia as well. Now, when does he come to Medina. Khalid comes to Medina after
		

			haber after Hiber. So the prophets I saw them was, you know, when he when he sees Khalid, he was so
happy to see him that he embraces him. And he puts Khalid Radi Allahu taala, and who's in charge of
Yemen. So this would he would also go on to become a governor of Yemen. And he puts a ban his
brother in charge of what would become Bahrain. And I'm in charge of cyber. So actually How did and
his brothers all become leaders under the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And when the Prophet
saw some passes away, how to throw the law Todd on who serves as a commander under apobec vehicle
the lot and who, who, of course, was the one who initially called him to Islam within hours of
		

			embracing it himself, and he was commended. He was he was appointed particularly as a commander in
the campaign against the Byzantines and in the year 634. He was married to on Hakeem ohm Hakeem
Bentall heritage and Molina um Hakeem was the widow of economic Abidjan while the Allahu Taala
		

			somehow chemo the Allah on her was his widow, and she became Muslim. Of course in the in the
conquest of Mecca, and right before this battle, which was known as not just suffer,
		

			she marries holiday inside the loss. Okay, so it was literally the night before this battle of
motors so far that they got married. And it was in this battle, that um, Hakeem actually, with her
own hands would pick up a sword and she would kill seven from the opposing army herself the day
after her wedding night, okay to hide them inside. But her husband had been saved all the Allahu
Tada and who would pass away on this day and he would be a Shaheed and this particular battle, may
Allah subhanaw taala be pleased
		

			with him so Subhan Allah He goes from seeing this dream of the prophets lie summon his father
getting an interpreted by apobec that will the law itself, living this glorious life alongside the
messenger slice alum, up until he serves under apobec to the study called the Law on hope, and is
martyred in the process, and in the process attains eternal life as the shahada do May Allah
subhanaw taala be pleased with him and reward him for his sacrifices. May Allah subhanaw taala be
pleased with the Companions, all of the companions in the family of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam alumna Amin was acting a little hate on inshallah to Allah. I will see you next time was
