As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
So we just finished from Muqtah.
And we're on our way now to the
other side of Jordan to actually try to
reach the grave sites of Abu Ubaidah radiAllahu
ta'ala anhu and Mu'adh ibn Jabal
radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
It's about five hours between Muqtah and then
going now back up north to get to
Abu Ubaidah radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
It was around Al Hur and then Mu
'adh ibn Jabal radiAllahu ta'ala anhu which
is closer to Irbid.
Alhamdulillah.
Shaykh Hisham, are you happy?
As-salamu alaykum.
May Allah accept from you, Shaykh.
May Allah bless you.
Look at the mountains as well on the
way.
And when you see the brilliant editing work,
film work, it's going to be Ameen.
Our superhero, Ameen.
MashaAllah.
MashaAllah.
It's been a very humbling visit.
You know, when we got there, they were
hesitant.
The grave sites of Zaid radiAllahu anhu, Ja
'far radiAllahu anhu, and Allah ibn Wahhab radiAllahu
anhu.
I've never been professionally filmed from what he
was saying.
They never gave one permission.
So I literally had to pull out the
phone, show them the first.
They had to bring supervisors.
We had to call the Oqaf and get
that permission.
Look at these beautiful mountains.
So we got permission.
And then as they warmed up to us,
they actually showed us.
And this is not going to be on
film.
Because I promised not to film it.
But they actually took me to the actual
door underground to where they pulled the shohada
from.
So they have a whole area where they
went.
And they sort of, as a discovery, about
70 years ago, basically claimed the rest of
the bodies from the shohada.
Sorry.
Taken it back by the mountains.
But in any case, so we actually saw
them.
And he was saying, subhanAllah, the body of
Ja'far radiAllahu anhu.
He actually had the written testimonies of all
the people that saw the body of Ja
'far radiAllahu anhu.
And recognized it from the arms that were
cut.
Well documented in the seerah of the Prophet
ﷺ.
So we got to film it.
Alhamdulillah, I'm excited about how that comes out.
I don't know if we'll actually get to
the grave of Mu'adh radiAllahu anhu in
time.
But we're driving right now to get there.
So we obviously don't want to be here
at night.
I'm trying to get through these mountains at
night.
But remember the sahaba of the Prophet ﷺ
used to make these trips with no cars
and no ropes.
SubhanAllah, be pleased with them.
There you go.
Jazakumullahu khair.
We'll check in and chill shortly.
Salaam alaikum.
