So, last time we covered the gin, we covered a Deus all the a lot of
time on hole. And as I mentioned, I kind of want you to sort of see
the story of thought of unfolding from the sight of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so I want to bring you back now to
the end when the prophets lie, some returns to five. And he
starts to see the fruits of his Dawa salah, Aarnio Salam and those
special people that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada will bring out in the
midst of this all some of them directly tied to his initial
mission. So when we come to this part of the life of the prophet,
slice, and we're coming into eight years after higit, all the
prophets lie some has now once again, open Mecca is conquered
Mecca, he has his people in Mecca once again. He has defeated the
howison the tribes that were plotting against him SallAllahu
Sallam they've been beaten back into a part of and the prophets
lie some is holding five under siege at this point, and is
resisting attacking, but if he's not going out and attacking Boff,
sallAllahu wasallam. And as we mentioned in the story of Molina,
about the law of terror and hope, that the prophets like some still
had hope in them, right. And when he was asked to make dua against
them, even at this point, the Messenger of Allah salAllahu
Alaihe Salam is not praying against them for their
destruction, he still sees that something is going to come out of
them salAllahu alayhi wasallam. Now, while he has the city of five
under siege, and again, if you kind of look through the images of
thought, if and how mountainous it is, it's a hard city, because it's
not flat, right. So even the idea of attacking Bluff is very
difficult because of the terrain of it as a whole. You may remember
that we mentioned that the prophets, my son did something
very interesting.
The prophets lie Selim decided to leave, he decided not to continue
placing them under siege or going on a full scale attack. But
instead, he negotiated, leaving Salalah Aarnio Islam and going
back to Medina, out of his Salatu was set up. But before that, he
called out sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that whoever descends,
whoever leaves out of the fort's of above is free. Right? So you
think about the difference and messaging here when he entered
into Mecca, that whoever goes into this house, and whoever goes into
this house, and whoever goes into this house, right, then it humbles
animal tilaka, you're free, right, there is no blame on you. But in
part, if that also means you get to come back to Medina with us,
which means that you can be freed in every sense of the word. So if
you are an enslaved person, and you're able to break your shackles
and escaped off and come back with us to Medina, you're free. If
you're just a Muslim, or you're one of the kids of a class, and
you want to get out of there, and you want to come back with us, if
you can find your way out of there without being killed by your own,
you're free. So in the profit slice, and I made that
announcement, there was a group of people that were considered from
the slaves of five, that took it as an opportunity to literally
free themselves from captivity, right, we can go with the profit,
slice them, and we're no longer going to be slaves. And so the
narrations mentioned about 23 slaves were able to escape five,
and to join the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and come out.
Now one thing you're gonna notice is you can't make a direct
correlation between the slaves that would have stolen the
prophets like some unwillingly or the children that would have done
so. And those that come out later on, however, right it's, it's the
classes of society that are being mentioned. And that brings us to
the sahabi that we are going to be speaking about now in sha Allah to
Allah, and his name is by far one of the most confusing names to the
average Muslim. In all of the names that come in Sahih al
Bukhari in the books of Hadith. Why? Because you may have been
reading so he had Buhari when they are Sahih Muslim, and you heard
the name of wobec Cara
and he's not the same person as a pullback to this vehicle the a lot
of times I know. And so many people confuse a bucket with a
Bobeck Cara, right? That even as emails sometimes their hope was
we'll say a bucket narrating a famous narration and we're
actually talking about a boo back.
Now aboubaker was the name of of course, a study called the
allowance and when what was on the bucket, his actual name,
Abdullah Abdullah, notice none Abubaker even Abby Kochava that is
Kanye, right? That's his nickname.
But his actual name is Abdullah nurse from a study called the
allotted time, where we record a study called the law of time. So
you have another man here, whose name is Abu Bakura, whose name is
just not to be confused, to, you know, to everybody that's reading
through literature and even the most proficient student of
knowledge. It's very easy to make the mistake and just think this is
another narration from of you Becca. So the holiday Lazzara
annual, so who is Abby Beck, Ra and why does he have this
interesting nickname? This man of obec Ra was actually an Abyssinian
slave and buff.
And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made that
announcement to del Luffy, he saw the PA Fe be Bakura will follow it
and the VRA has salat wa salam wa salam ala de the word Bukhara
literally is what you turn the well with is how you get the water
out of the wall. So think of like a wheel. So the way that he
escaped five the prophets lie some as he was leaving above, after the
seeds and he made them out for the people to come to Him. You see
this man, can you imagine this man throwing himself out of the
fortress of barf and he was hanging on to the Bekaa
litter, literally the buckle on the wheel that would pump the
water out of the well. And he came down to the Prophet salallahu
Salam so you can imagine this great escape on the rope and he
came to the messenger of allah sallallahu, Harney, Assam and from
that day onwards, he was known as at the beck, ra, rah, rah, the
Allahu Taala and who, who is a proficient narrator of Hadith. So
you'll find his name and multiple Hadith of the prophets lie Selim
Abbey back Allah, little the Allahu Taala and who his actual
name is no failure isn't an Hatice or no failure, it didn't mess it
away. And there's a story to this man's pile of Legos that no one
from that area is normal, and they're embracing of Islam. So his
story is literally flying out of the fortress on a wheel and coming
to the province. I'm being known for that for the rest of his life.
Why does his name have controversy? And you can imagine
the human emotions that exist with this as well. We know his mother's
name is So Maria
Subhanallah so so many Oh, the Allah Allah, the first martyr of
Islam was also Abyssinian woman. Right? How about Shia so his
mother was a have a Shia was a woman named Somalia. Now as for
who his father was, he was known as no failure of Neil Harris. No
failure of no Hadith was the name of his master. Okay. And so he was
enslaved to a hadith. And the belief what they used to say was
that he was the son of a Harris and his mother Sylvania.
But he actually did not like that. He didn't like to go by no fate of
Manhattan. And he had a whole stories panel, lots of the
complexities of being known as an affair and then how to if you can
sort of navigate then how this all comes out. So you start to find
that the scholars because he gets narrated in the books of narrators
as both novator and Harris, and you'll figure even Masaru they say
how did that confusion arise in regards to his name, especially a
prolific narrator of Hadith? How do you get that confusion? So what
have been sad a lot of the A lot of times I know narrates that
cannibal Bakura Yun Kira Anna who wanted to Harris Abubaker, Abu
Bakr, Roxy are in there right now.
I will Bakura used to deny that he was the son of and how does he
used to say Ana Abu Bakr, ah, Mo now Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam. He said my name is Abu Baqarah the freed slave of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says finally you think of
silent Mota Have you heard Eva Mola nettement the freed slave of
this person, the freed slave of this person, the freed slaves of
this person? He said, As for me, if you ask me my name, I am a
robot Kira I was freed by Rasulullah sallallahu Arnesen
because the prophets lie some called out and said whoever wants
to free themselves, come and join us. I came out, I didn't just free
myself. I embraced Islam. So I freed myself from slavery. I freed
myself from ship as well. And I am the free slave of the prophets
like Selim, Carla in other NASA Illa onion Siboney. And if the
people refuse, except to attribute me to someone, then let them say
an affair, even MASU. I am no fear the son of Masaru al Habashi. So
it's very interesting. I am affiliated with the Abyssinian
because people were calling him no failure, and then Haddish a Sufi
and he's like, I'm not from Philippines.
That's not my father. My father was also an enslaved man named
Masaru. And my mother was Somalia. But I am if you asked me what my
name is, I am a Bobette Cara, the freed slave of the messenger of
allah sallallahu sunnah meaning the most preferable way for you to
call me is that because the Prophet
place I'm calling me that and it's a beautiful way to attribute his
journey to Allah subhanho wa Taala so what happens to this man's hand
Allah that comes out so this is walking back to Medina, you've got
a man that joins the joins the club right joins the companions.
What's your story? You are enslaved to these people. If the
thief and you're walking amongst the companions and the prophets, I
some immediately took notice of him. Right? He's one of the
feminazis one of the fruits just like Deus, what are the Allahu
Anhu is not to be belittled in his Islam, Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu Taala
and who is not to be belittled in his Islam? So what happens with
him right? What's the story? Something so beautiful and
powerful? The fact that he narrates over 100 Hadith from the
prophets like some in such a short amount of time means what that
didn't Medina you didn't get distanced
What right does he have to be close to the prophets of Allah
Hardy was salam you didn't get distanced, right? He immediately
becomes a full member of the Society of Medina though he's not
makin he's not Madani. He's not rich. He's unknown in terms of his
lineage in that regard. And he comes from a slave class and
bought F which was hated to the people because of all that had
come from off of violence. hamdulillah that's not our
religion. You'll find now the full inclusion of ubec Cara little the
allowance on animal in society, and the story has a twist.
Remember, for Keefe accepted Islam, the delegation comes in,
they accept the sum.
So Harish comes to the prophets like Selim, and he says, I want no
failure back. He's mine. And the prophets lie some gave him the
most beautiful description. He said, Let said know who are
totally Allah. What are the Quran SULI
he's the freed slave of Allah, on the freed slave of the messenger
of allah sallallahu alayhi salam.
So his greatest lack of than his greatest description, is being the
freed slave of Allah subhanaw taala. Allah freed him, the
messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam freedom, you have
no right to him. He's one of us now. He's going to live in Medina,
and he's going to prosper and you have no right to take him back to
a path and take him back to setif and be Bakura Radi Allahu Anhu
there are 132 Hadith that he comes up and it's kind of his name comes
up. And next time you're reading, because it's in Behati. It's in
Muslim next time you see the backdrop, you now have a story of
a man coming out with the wheel of a well, to the prophets like
Selim, I'd be Bakra was a man of great enthusiasms Pamela was
actually going to give a hutzpah
a few months ago that I ended up changing the topic at the last
minute, but I actually wanted to give a whole talk about the
mistakes of well meaning people the mistakes of well meaning
people, there's a difference that the scholars of Islam make a
distinction between someone who makes a mistake out of being well
meaning and someone who makes a mistake seemingly out of malice or
for greed. And when you treat those two things the same way,
then you do an injustice. Why was I going to talk about that?
Because in the capacity of fellow steam in the capacity of
Palestine, you're seeing a lot of people that want to do great
things. And young people are prone to make mistakes out of zeal, and
being well meaning, right, and the profit slice on him had a genius
of not treating those things the same way of not looking at someone
who makes a mistake out of being well meaning as someone who's
making a mistake driven by something lowly, you have to treat
those things differently. Otherwise you can crush a human
being and I'll be back raw, it'll be a long time. And who is someone
who was described as having great zeal he wants to get it all in?
No, I mean, he went from being a slave to a very rough people. If
the thief treated the prophets I send them that way. Imagine what
they treated their slaves like. Right, a very rough situation and
we it's ambiguous for sure. But now he's Sahabi now he's Talia
cola today for a SUTI right he's the fried man of Allah the fried
man of the prophets lie Selim. So there's a hadith Subhanallah it's
very near and dear to my heart about the backhoe the Allahu Taala
and when narration about him which is
and this will be a good way to teach some fucking shot lots Allah
when you enter into the masjid
and the Imam says Allah Akbar and goes into the core What do you see
everybody who's walking in the masjid do
Just admit it you run
because you want to catch the Raqqa right? One of the most
common mistakes of Salah is this Hola Hola, como
why you didn't do proper tech via you're supposed to do tech meter
to the Haram first, Allahu Akbar and then go into the core.
But so many people want to catch up. And the only way to catch
record is to settle at some level. There's a different I'm not gonna
get into technicalities into that here, but at some level, right to
catch the imam in that posture before you come up and then you
Katara right? At some level, okay, so one of the most common mistakes
of Salah is that and it is to the level of invalidating your prayer.
You don't have to make up all your prayers if you were doing so out
of ignorance but I hope in sha Allah Tana, everyone sort of needs
the lesson you come into the masjid and the mamas and record
Allahu Akbar. And then you go into the Allahu Akbar, and you follow
the imam from there. If he missed it, I can't make it up. All right,
but don't lose the salah over trying to catch it. Okay, that's
the message. Second thing. What does this have to do with the
backdrop of you Bakura a lot the a lot of time and who once walked
into the masjid. And the prophets, like some went into court. And
before he got to the lines of Salah, he went, he joined the
profit slice. I'm gonna record. He said, hola, hola, como, and then
he
can see it on camera. All right, it's hard to see on camera. But he
went into the court and then he walked
in that state so you can catch the record to make sure he caught the
record. He joined the lines of prayer after that, right.
Now, if you saw that you saw a young person do that in the
masjid. No, stop, like halfway out the door. Go into court. You're
gonna turn around and give him like just a lashing Right? Like
how you know what's wrong with you? And are you crazy? And are
you this and this and that? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, what did he do? And this is why I wanted to give a horrible
lie just on this statement. Now I can't give the whole time anymore.
You just have to take it from here. The Prophet signs that I'm
said Tsar duckula hellsten
May Allah increase you in enthusiasm? It's the first words.
Zod Nicola Hopson. May Allah increase you and enthusiasm
without tears, but don't do it again.
zadock Hello, hellsten like that came from a really good place. So
have you back home? I know you're not trying to cut out something
from the salon or do something that's wrong. He's a new Muslim.
What's the point? He's a new Muslim. One of the most beloved
questions to me, by the way, recently, there was a convert that
had asked me
he said, you know, they just become Muslim in Ramadan. So
they're saying I went to the last three the horse in the masjid. And
they pray to Dr. Oz and out loud. They came to Juma frayed three
times. And they fought German the horror are the same. I was how I
was like, How beautiful is that innocence? And may Allah increase
that person and enthusiasm and sincerity. takes time to learn
these things, right? And you're thinking about all the barriers of
trying to teach someone in that society with everything going on.
Zack Hello, Hudson, you know what have you Bakura that's beautiful.
May Allah increase human zeal. So when you see a young person make a
mistake out of wanting to do something good. The first words
that should come out of your mouth from a prophetic perspective.
Should be encouraging words. Words of affirmation, then correct the
mistake, then correct the mistake. Right now Mr. Raja Abdullah, no
Kenny accumulate what a good man. I'm delighted. Let them increase
in piano, stay something positive, and then bring in the correction.
Don't start with the correction. And if you go straight to the
correction and you do it harshly, you'll alienate that person from
Allah. subhanaw taala. Forever. Careful. Alright, so it'd be back
at all the alonside I know there was a famous incident that
happened with him and it's in Sahih al Bukhari about him. And
that takes what could be an embarrassing moment with the
profit slice up to a moment of pride. Like the prophets lie some
made do out for me. Zod Nicola Harrelson. That's it. He made for
me slice and I'm like, this is an endearing moment. Which is why, by
the way, guess who narrates the incident of the Bukhara himself.
Right? I have nothing to hide. nothing to be ashamed of. This is
something that I did as I was becoming Muslim. And the Prophet
slicin corrected me from a place of love. I'll be back rah rah, the
Allahu Taala and who also narrates some of the most famous Hadith? He
narrates the hadith of something that we just performed the Hadith
of the eclipse prayer. Okay, and the speech of the Prophet SAW
Salem. When the Eclipse took place in Allah to Allah. You hope we
will be Hema EBO that Allah subhanaw taala frightened his his
servants with this
and this is meant to bring people back to Allah Subhana Allah it's
not because of the death of someone or the life of someone but
instead it is that so he narrates the Hadith and and Bahati about
the Eclipse. He also narrates and this is where I've seen people say
Abu Beckett, because literally in English, it's just aboubaker with
an added a it just looks like someone forgot to respect the red
lines on Microsoft Word right? On bucket, right.
He narrates a very famous Hadith, about shahada to Zoo about false
testimony where the prophets langsam said Nabil can be
accurate, so I'm not telling you what the worst of major sins is.
And he said it three times sal Allahu alayhi wa salam and we said
but I also have a lot better I was alone. Yes, a messenger of Allah.
Yes, a messenger of Allah. And then the prophets lie Selim stood
up and he said Israel Kabila Rococo
wording that it is to associate a partner with Allah and to disobey
your parents. And then he says we're jealous our accountant with
Turkey and the prophets. My son was sort of reclined and then he
sat up and he said, Hola, como zoo hola Como Zoo hola hola Zoo.
Verily it is bearing false witness that is a false testimony of false
testimony or false testimony. And he said the profit slice on kept
on saying that until we said later who second SallAllahu wasallam we
wish the prophets lie some would have stopped because it just kept
on going like he was affirming it to us and this was very precious
to Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu Anhu in terms of honoring the witness, and
would become very relevant to him later on in his life while the low
tide and who he also married to now Buddha would
you know the
Harajuku MonaVie sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it is a lot to celebrate
for Cana la Jamar Ruby Rajan, Elana there who is on RT. O have
waka who B originally he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
said that I went out with the Prophet signs elements allotted
budget, and the prophets lie some did not pass a single person
except that he called him to the prayer or he shook him by his
foot. So if he was sleeping, the prophets lie, some shook him by
his foot to wake them up for prayer. So that's another thing if
you enter into the message and someone sleeping, don't step on
them. Don't smack them on the face, they might smack you in the
face in return as well, especially in Ramadan, but to maybe shake
them gently from the foot or something like that, just to wake
them up. So he narrates that he narrates many of the hadith of
fitna, which is why he avoided the fitna his entire life, he did not
get involved and he encouraged people not to get involved when
people fought each other. Because he narrated many of those Hadith,
he narrated the Hadith about a rebel
that the prophets like some forbade selling gold for gold,
silver, silver. The point is, many of these Hadith Subhanallah come
to us from this initial incident of a man escaping pot off as a
slave hanging on to a wheel of a well and then becoming known by
that incident. And as a result of that we have some of the most
fundamental a hadith in Islam. Right, the most formative Hadith
in Islam, imagine if the prophets lie, some destroyed the people of
Thoth. Imagine if the prophets lie, some said you know what, I'm
going to wipe them out because of everything that they did to us and
there's too much trouble that is coming from these people. He also
was blessed with all of his children Subhanallah becoming
scholars and Hadith narrators as well. So his sons are obeyed.
Allah Abdurrahman, Abdul Aziz and Muslim here are Sunni Muslim,
a Buddhist nun.
They all became his narrators as well. And his daughter, he had a
daughter named capcha, who became a narrator as well and from the
two most famous of the tambourine and hustlin, the blustery and
Mohammed diviner, sitting were students of Abu Bakar and all the
Allahu Tada and, and I want to make a point here also about the
status of the man and the status of his of his children. And so you
can understand how revolutionary Islam was to the world at the time
in terms of the racial divide the racial, you know, disparities and
tribal disparities and the economic disparities. everyone in
his family went on to become like an elite person in Islam. So, one
of the most famous hadith is, or narrations that we have is a
letter he wrote to his son who became a governor in Persia. And
he wrote that I heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say,
lie after the Anakin Moon vainness, Nene were who have had
one very famous Hadith Let not one of you judge between two people
while you're angry that the prophets lie some said don't pass
judgments while you're in a state of Allah while you're in a state
of anger. And his sister Sophia benzyl. Harris married her ex
bourbon was one or the Allahu Tada and who was the founder of the
city of Bustelo in Iraq, where you have the famously ma'am has an
embassy Rahim Allah come out. And the Imam Hassan Abbas the Rahim
Allah said lunians It will Basra Afflalo, Minh Abbey Baqarah were
embroiled in a scene about the Allaha and Homer, that there are
no two greater people that came to us in Basra than Abu Baqarah. And
Emraan had been saying all the Allahu Tana And Homer, may Allah
be pleased with them. And I'll just mentioned Subhanallah some
narrations of his death and then we'll move on, because we are
still talking about but but there is a beautiful connection, by the
way between us and the city of Buffalo, which became a, you know,
a legendary city in Islam. Between these two
when Abby Buck Ron
was, was in his old age, his one of his wives had passed away. And
there was a discussion between him and his brother in law's about who
was going to lead the janazah so he said, and I Hakuba salatu
Allah, let me lead the prayer on her. So they said sadaqa Sahiba
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam the companion of the Prophet sly Salam
has the right upon us. So he entered into the grave. And when
he entered into the grave, he was kind of crushed because people
were pushing as they were burying
his wife and some honey
Look, the hit that he took. And this could be a sign of his old
age at the time, the hit that he took, actually would eventually
provoke his Duff. So he was kind of hurt by that, you know, when
someone's in that elderly age and can be something very simple
Subhanallah so he was carried back to his family. And he had they
said, 20 he had 20 Kids 20 Children, between his kids and
maybe his grandkids and they were crying over him.
And he said, Don't do that. Because they were they were
weeping loudly. He said, from Allah, Hey, Mom enough sin teclado
hebbal ilium enough. See? He said, I swear by Allah, there is no soul
that I would rather leave its body than my soul leave my body. Why?
He said,
sometimes you're alone. The people were shocked, he said, and they
said, Lima abana. Why is it our father, he said in the Akshaya an
odd because a man and law are still to an arm or aubema rufen
What are on her on one cut, that I am seeing a day that I will not be
able to enjoy and good or forbid, evil, one fatal Yama event and
there is no good in that day. If I if I can't teach if there's fitna
coming that's on the horizon that I can't escape to Afeni Lake,
right right on my phone. That's the Hadith of the Prophet slicin.
Let me die without being tested and tried. So I don't want to be a
part of that fitna. And I see that time is coming. So I'm pleased
with Allah taking my life at this point, in my old age and
Subhanallah, that would indeed be the time that he was dying. And
when he was dying, and all the Allahu Tada and
his children had come to him and they they told him we'd bring a
doctor. And as he was about to die, he said, * plebe will come
where is your doctor? Leila do her encounter Sadiq Khan, let him push
away dust if he is truthful, meaning to say to his kids, that
death is inevitable, that when Allah azza wa jal has decreed this
time, it will happen. And indeed Subhanallah he passed away in
bussola in the year 52, after hijra, so he lived the whole five
decades after the Hyjal the Allah Tada annual as a core scholar in
bustling like, imagine if you met this man giving a Dustin Buster
and you had the greatest of the next generation possibly has an
embassy of the greatest tavern he's sitting in his dumps, and
1000s of people while he's narrating Hadith and the prophets
lie some by the way, how did you become Muslim? I came out of a
fortress holding on a well a wheel from a well but his was sia his
will was to let his brother in
the prophets like some gave him and on Saudi brother the way that
he gave all of them Mahajan, Dean and his brother and it was a Boba
and a tsunami or the Allah I know he put in his will to let his
brother lead his janazah so his brother who received him in Medina
and who brought him into his house, shows you the beauty of the
prophets lie Selim. What is that a salami was the one who led his
janazah in bas Surah four and a half decades later, alright,
Subhan Allah which shows you the bond of Islam that was built
between these people in a very short time about the Allahu Taala
and who so that's the first gem from the siege of Bosch.
The slave that escaped on the wheel of a well so next time you
read on the back camera about the Allahu Anhu Your eyes are not
tricking you. It's him not a bucket so deep about the Allahu
Tada and hope
