			sinau Marty Cohen Welcome to lucky but a cat so everyone welcome back to the first and in sharkwater
Allah tonight we will continue with Jaffa in a be thought of well the Allahu tada and whoa and his
story of Islam. Now I want to just start off by saying that sometimes you have some of these first
some of these nobles that are overlooked because of who they're related to. And so when you think
about the children of the pilot and Fatima acid, you obviously think of none other than it have to
be thought of all the Allahu tada at home. But Jaffa will be alongside and who is truly a special
person and special in his own right, not just because of who he's related to, but because of who he
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:25
			himself would become all the time. And, you know, if you've watched the movie, the message, that's
when a lot of people saw the role of Jonathan an Abba senior and that's really probably the only
incident that most people can recall when they're thinking about Jaffa. Well, the amount of time and
what is the role that he played in epicene? Yeah, but his life is is just full of benefits and full
of quality for us to take lessons from, and for us to really appreciate the role that he played in
setting the stage for Islam. And so when you talk about the first Jaffa, well, the one who is not
only one of the first converts, he's part of the first hidden episode, even though he's from the
		
00:01:25 --> 00:02:05
			second batch to ever Senya which is modern day Ethiopia. He's from the first to do hidden off for
the sake of Allah subhanaw taala in that sense to migrate for the sake of Allah. He's the first to
do that with to a king. He's the first to have a king convert to Islam at his hand. He is amongst
the first Muslims who would be martyred in battle as a commander which we'll see in the Battle of
Mota. He's the first to recite for an in the court of a king. You have so many different ways to
look at it but he is someone that holds much to his own rights. And I want us to really appreciate
him and Chatelet tada as we go through his life amongst his names he's known as a blob dilla because
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:45
			of his son Abdullah locked and loaded Jenna hain the one with two wings, which obviously has a
beautiful story to it inshallah tada that we will talk about now a lot of the family history of
bento Hashem we covered when we talked about Ali and Fawlty Mummy, Allah be pleased with them. But I
want to talk about just a little bit once again, about the way that Jeff little the longtime who
comes into the picture and reminds everyone who his mother is we know his father upon him and his
mother, his father, tema, Vint acid, or the Allahu tada Anna, who, if you remember was the first
Hashimi woman to accept snap, the first woman from the tribe of Banu Hashim to accept the sum, and
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:27
			some say the 10th or the 11th person to accept the snom the one who the Prophet sly, some would call
his mother, the one who the Prophet slicin used to stand to receive the one who helped raise the
prophets I send him specifically from the age of six to 25 and the one who sent it to the longtime
home. To be raised by the prophets last summer was pleased for the prophet SAW some to raise it,
it'll allow time and home, knowing how beautiful the prophet SAW the lahardee who was alum who was
like a son to her was now if you remember with faulty movement, when she accepted Islam, she
accepted Islam instantly. And she was amongst those By the way, who considered to make Hitler to
		
00:03:27 --> 00:04:13
			Abba senior with her son Jaffa and with her daughter in law, but she had a specific love for Jaffa
all the time. I know. Because Jaffer looked like the prophet SAW the lahardee, who has done and so
her love of Jaffa was connected to his resemblance of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, which we will
talk about so amongst the children of Agatha and the cousins of the Prophet, slice alum, no one
looked more like the Prophet slice Allah than Jaffa or the Allahu tada and who, and if you remember
the the names, the way that these names are chosen, and the the children of edible pot have all had
something to live up to. There was actually a hook that you can find called what's in the name right
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:52
			and we talked about the importance of naming your children with lofty names that they can aspire to.
And you look at Ableton Live and how he named his his four sons. We said thought of is the oldest
and each one of them has 10 years between them. So polyp is the oldest son, same age as the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam and pilot mean someone with high aspirations apeal who's 10 years younger than
Baba is someone with high intellect. Okay, someone with high intellect. Jaffa is 10 years after
akeel and Jaffer mean someone with high eloquence okay with flowing speech and compassion.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			And this is refers to a flowing river or a cow with extra milk and we know that milk is our enemy.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Milk has knowledge. So he's elevated in his intellect,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:49
			or elevated in his eloquence in this regard, I'll be alongside an Audi all the time, and who refers
to one who has high in nobility or who was shut off, and we can see Subhanallah the way that these
names actually would play out. So Jaffa is the the brother that comes right before I veto the Aloha
baton and who, and if you remember the story of how I ended up in the house of the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, it gives us some insight into how jack foetal the Aloha dad who was raised as
well. An Ibis came to the Prophet sallallahu wasallam and they spoke about the poverty of herbal
thought it so Abbas who is the brother of herbal ponda, the uncle of the Prophet, slice alum, comes
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:31
			to the Prophet sai 70 says that you know that herbal polyp is going through some difficult times
that he is suffering from poverty. And he suggests to the Prophet sallallahu it was sort of how
about we make things easy on him by helping him with his children. So you take one of his children
and I will take one of his children and we'll raise them to lighten the burden on edible pot. So
they go to Apple pilot together and I will tell him he says you know, as they present that, you
know, we can take two of your children to raise them to lessen the burden that is upon you, or both
of them says you can take all of them or you can take whoever you want from amongst them but just
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:44
			make sure you leave me athlete so I have a lot of loved appi in particular and especially so I said
look you can take one of them each but make sure you leave me I paid now the profit sighs some at
this point, of course is living
		
00:06:45 --> 00:07:27
			in a much better financial situation being married to a digital the low tide I'm huh. And if you
haven't deciphered it yet, I Basile the low tide on who was also someone who was in a better
financial state who was skilled in his trade, and often is referenced in that regard in regards to a
successful business endeavors when we're talking about some of these other people. So, the Prophet
slicin, um, takes it and a lab bus takes javac Okay, so you can imagine them leaving the house of
herbal pileup. Jaffa is going to go live with a bustle the hotel and won't be raised in his house
added all the low tide and who would go with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and be raised
		
00:07:27 --> 00:08:12
			in his house. And as we said, it is the divine planning of Allah subhanho its Allah, that Allah He
was not officially adopted, which, of course, to Benny was a practice in janelia, which was to
actually fully you know, take on the name of the person that adopts you. He never became an idea bin
Mohammed he was never breastfed by Khadija, even though Khadija will the low on had flowing milk.
And this was a loss of kind of without his divine planning that would allow him to marry Fatima or
the Allah hotel Anna. As for john Jaffa, he was raised by bus in the same way that I do all the time
I was raised by the prophets life so I'm like a son. But at the same time, the the difference
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:52
			between these relationship with the prophet SAW Selim and the relationship of Jaffa with the Prophet
slice and it was beyond just the the fact that he was raised in his house. Because of the age of
Jaffa, Jaffa had a different type of relationship with the Prophet slicer. Right. So he was older
than it he was 10 years older than it and he had a different relationship with the Prophet
sallallahu it was something that was more like a younger brother. And this is something that we will
see the deep love that the Prophet slice on has for Jaffa, which also, you know, gives us this idea
of silica rahem to enjoy and good family relations beyond just the siblings beyond just your own
		
00:08:52 --> 00:09:38
			children and your aunts and your uncle's. But here you see, you know, the importance of having these
strong relationships with our cousins with our family members in the extended sense. So anyway, when
does Jafar embrace Islam? Some of the reports say that he was as early as the 15th or 16th person to
accept Islam. So even though we don't have any specific records of the exact time of the conversion
of Jaffa, well, the Allahu tada animal, we, we know that it was very early on, and we know that
there was no hesitation, of course, bento Hashem, you know, you found the likes of Abdullah hub and
you found the likes of ideal the Allahu Tada, animal. And if ideal, the Alon who embraced Islam that
		
00:09:38 --> 00:10:00
			early and then followed him I've been tested embraced Islam that early. Jaffa is amongst those who
embraced Islam very early on with his cousin, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the dates
suggest that it was probably just like we saw inside of NZ and Fatima been to the hubbub Jaffer and
his wife as madness
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:49
			Mais accepting Islam together. Now, who is a snap into? mace? If you remember the story of levada
when we talked about a whole lot of me not the believing sisters, as we talked about, Lu Baba Minton
had it all the time and hustle a snap into release is one of a helot and whatnot one of the
believing sisters, the early Muslim women that would dedicate themselves to this cause that would
give themselves to the cause of a loss of hundreds and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu wasallam.
The way that we see in Nova bottle The lavon has case and may move up into how to it and suddenly
been Tommy's that that same type of devotion in coming close to Allah and the messenger Salallahu it
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:36
			he was setting up so you have Jaffa and a smart, accepting Islam together. Now, we don't have much
about their life before the migration to Abyssinia before the migration to have a shot. But we do
know that they were amongst the family of the Prophet, slice alum and they were in that situation
subject subjected to similar persecution, and that the persecution became so severe for Jafar and a
smart that they sought permission to be amongst those that would go out to India and so we know that
they were severely persecuted. And we know that the next chapter in history would indicate the favor
of Allah and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam upon Jaffa will be alongside Anil by choosing
		
00:11:36 --> 00:12:16
			him to not just be amongst those that would go to Abyssinia. But to actually be the leader of this
batch that would include some of the most noble of the companions of the Prophet slice on the likes
of Horace Mann, the likes of Rokia, the daughter of the Prophet slice on the likes of Zubaydah, alum
and a smart been to be Beckett and a robotic Muslim. It's an element of sediment and the list goes
on of some of the most noble companions that were in that batch of Abyssinia that would make kids
want to Abbess India, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was would choose jr follow the low
tide and who is amongst the youngest of them to be their spokesperson to be their leader. And this
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:57
			is also something you know about the the youth and the way that the prophets like some of them was
able to activate and empower the younger people amongst the companions of the Prophet slice alum
Jaffa will the alongside and who was in his early 20s. When the prophets lie some sent him to
avicennia. But the Prophet slicin him still appointed him to be that first ambassador and that first
spokesperson for Islam, and look how Jaffer would rise to the occasion. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he told the companions without knowing an agenda without knowing the ruler of
Amazonia us Hama and joshy. Personally, but he knew of his qualities and certainly through divine
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:46
			guidance, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says if you go to an Arab Russia, if you go to
Abyssinia, it is best for you, for their ruler will not tolerate injustice and it is a friendly
country. So stay there until Allah subhanaw taala relieves you from your distress. So the prophets I
seldom is testifying to the justice of a Christian ruler in avicennia. And the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu wasallam will send with jack follow the Lord and who as well, an invitation to Islam to
the ruler of Abyssinia knowing that Natasha is a righteous man, and he is someone who the truth will
resonate with now this is a risky move, obviously. Because if these people go to Abyssinia, and an
		
00:13:46 --> 00:14:29
			agenda, she finds them to be amongst, you know, those that are like they have been characterized by
the people of Mecca. And Anna joshy, punishes them and persecute them the prophets by some would
have lost the finest batch of his companions, right? I mean, these are the best of his companions.
This wasn't like a test run where you could send some companions and hold back others these these
people include the closest family members of the Prophet sallallahu was set up and some of the best
of people so this is a risky move if Najafi does not live up to what's expected of him, right. So
there there are different ways that this could go joshy could reject Islam, and he could reject
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:47
			taking them in. And there can be many reasons for him rejecting them taking him in one of them is
that an agency has a relationship with some of the leaders of polish. And that, you know, you don't
want to you don't want to put in a bad place or you don't want to
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:59
			you know jeopardize your trade routes. You don't want to jeopardize your diplomatic relations with
the people of Mecca. And so, john, you know, he could have said that, you know what, I'm going to
send all these people back
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:43
			Or I'll even kill them or I'll do something with them. Because I don't want to ruin but I have right
now with the people in Mecca, he could have done that. Or he could have, you know, accepted them,
but rejected their religion. Alright, so he could have stayed Christian, but rejected their
religion. And at the same time he could have said, but you still have refuge here, right, which for
the purpose of the hids law would have been sufficient, okay that at the bare minimum, he gives them
refuge from what's happening in Mecca. And that way, as things become more severe and Mecca, people
have an alternative. And you will find that even a whole bucket of the vehicle, the longtime man who
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:22
			was on his way to the senior, right, so we're talking about the future batches that would then go to
Abyssinia to escape the persecution of Mecca, even Rebecca will be a lot of time on who was going to
make his way to the senior. And then he was stopped. Because of someone recognizing his noble
qualities and offering him protection. That's another story that I don't want to take too much time
with. But he could have just said, you know, I'm going to give you refuge, but I'm not going to
accept your religion. Or the third one is that he accepts Islam and he accepts them and gives them
refuge in the land of Abyssinia. So somehow, a lot of the prophets I send him is putting a lot into
		
00:16:23 --> 00:17:09
			this into this migration by the types of people that he is sending an oration know that the stakes
are high as well. They know that. And that's why they would first try to stop them from migrating to
avicennia. They would try to capture them on the way but they were not able to. But they also know
that if they are able to get into joshy, to send them back that that will be a crippling blow to the
prophet SAW The lahardee was the lamb and to the early Muslims, as they are dealing with that
persecution. So anyway, the prophets like some sends them and they settle that land. Initially in
the joshy, grants them refuge, he does not accept their religion right away. And Quraysh sense to
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:59
			him, these two men, and they're not just any two men, they're two men that are skillful in
convincing, you know, in potentially convincing an adoptee to do what are he wants him to do. He
says to them, I'd love to have you know, BIA, and more famously, Ahmed have an OS, and they have all
of these gifts, and they have all of these clothes, they have all these skins of leather. And I'm
going to be Ross has a relationship with the joshy through his father allows that precedes Islam. So
he's able to tap into not just his ability to convince them of things, not just his eloquence, but
also his relationship with an A joshy. And he is going to try to use first and foremost bribery.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:41
			Right, along with of course, invoking the relationship that he has with an A joshy. And even by the
way, brings a gift to each of the the generals of in the joshy. So he brings all of these gifts from
polish. And they they give these gifts to an A joshy and to all of the generals. And then at that
point after he gives the gifts after they reminisce on some of the memories and talk about the
relationship that they had, I'm gonna Ross says that there are some people so for hot foods from our
lands that have taken refuge here. And he said that these are people that are the worst of us, they
reject our religion and they reject your religion. So he also knows that no joshy is a religious
		
00:18:41 --> 00:19:30
			man. And so if he can convince him that Islam is not just opposed to our idolatry, it's also opposed
to your religion your way and is insulting to your weight, then maybe he can tap into his religious
sensitivity. So they have a lot going for them they have the diplomatic relations, they have the the
religious angle, they have the relationship angle, they have the gifts and the bribery and the
wealth they have a lot that's going for them as they approach and the joshy to speak to him about so
in the Josh he summons the Muslims to the courts. And Jaffa will the low tide is chosen to speak at
that moment. So Joshua comes forward. And at that point, Jennifer will be a long time and who gives
		
00:19:30 --> 00:20:00
			probably you know one of the most eloquent speeches ever about Islam. In fact, if you just read the
speech of Jaffa will be allowed on home. You can see the beautiful ways that he was able to explain
Islam concisely get encompass so many different things. So Natasha asks him to tell him about this
religion. So Jaffa will be allowed and who says obviously it's much more beautiful in Arabic, but he
says Tim Oh King, we were a people in a state of ignorance in Israel.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:46
			morality, worshipping idols and eating the flesh of dead animal animals, committing all sorts of
abomination and shameful deeds, breaking the ties of kinship, treating our guests badly, and the
strong amongst us exploited the weak. We remained in this state until Allah sent us a prophet, one
of our own, whose lineage, truthfulness, trustworthiness and integrity were well known to us. He
called us to worship Allah alone and to renounce the stones and the idols, which we and our
ancestors used to worship besides Allah. He commanded us to speak the truth, to honor our promises
to be kind to our relatives, to be helpful to our neighbors, to cease all forbidden acts, to abstain
		
00:20:46 --> 00:21:31
			from bloodshed, to avoid obscenities and false witness, and to not appropriate an orphans property,
nor slander chaste woman, he ordered us to worship Allah alone, and not to associate anything with
it, to uphold prayer, to give sadaqa to give us a cat to give charity and to fast in the month of
Ramadan. We believe in him and what he brought to us from a lot. And we follow him and what he has
asked us to do, and we keep away from what he has forbidden us from there upon okaying, our people
attacked us they visited the severest punishment upon us, to make us renounce our religion and take
us back to the old immorality and the worship of idols. They oppressed us they made life intolerable
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:15
			for us, and they obstructed us from observing our religion. So we left for your land, choosing you
before anyone else, desiring your protection, and hoping to live in justice and in peace in your
midst. So no joshy here's these beautiful words. And Pamela, this is the way that just follow the
law and who really lives up to his name and summarizes Islam in a pretty intimidating setting.
Right, you're standing in the corner of a Najafi and what you say about Islam here is going to be
highly consequential and and the joshy was so moved and so touched, that he asked him, he said, Do
you have anything of this divine revelation of this revelation that has come to your prophet? And
		
00:22:15 --> 00:23:04
			somehow Allah, we find that Jaffa will the law Tada, and who chooses sort of Mulligan and
particularly chooses to recite the story of the birth of Jesus, the son of Mary peace be upon them
from sort of Millennium with goodfield kitabi, Miriam, and he reads from West called Phil kitabi
margam make mentioned in the book of Madame alayhis salaam, all the way through the virtues of
Madame through the birth of Isa at his Salaam, through Jesus peace be upon him speaking from the
cradle. And when he finished reciting, he looked up and he saw that an A joshy was in tears, and
that some of the generals of Najafi were in tears as well. The joshy he said, he took a stick.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:48
			And he said, that will lie he mahanagar he said, he said no Maruyama and how on earth is that I
swear that are you sorry, his Salah did not exceed what you have said by the length of the stick. He
said these this and what eSATA Salaam brought are from the same source? And he says you may go and
he says, Well law he I will never give them up to you. And they will never be betrayed. Now I'm
gonna Ross Of course, he tried. He spoke to us a lot that night and said, How can we get him to
change his mind? So they they came and they said, you know, let's, let's say to joshy that they say
that he signed a snap that Jesus peace be upon him is nothing more than a creature. And so in the
		
00:23:48 --> 00:24:04
			joshy summons them again. And he explains that a Sati is Salaam, is the word of God is the servant
of God is the messenger of God is in mercy. And the joshy is once again satisfied. And he sends back
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:49
			ometer when asked and he sends back, the love web, back to Mecca. And he threatens them that if you
come and you try to take them he says, Well llahi that no matter what you do, he said not for a
mountain of gold would I allow them to be hurt, nor would I exchange them and an agenda even gives
back their bribes and sends them back to Mecca in that regard. At that point in a joshy dismisses
everyone from the courts, and he tells Jaffa will the Allahu anhu that he himself has not embraced
Islam that he has become Muslim and we'll talk about an agenda I'm paraphrasing this part of the
story because I want to talk about the joshy from his vantage point and so let's either in some
		
00:24:49 --> 00:25:00
			detail. So at this point now the Muslims are settled in Abyssinia Jaffa well the Allahu Allah and
who has successfully you know, given Dawa to the king
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:41
			Who has secretly embraced Islam, they have protection. They live as a minority there. And they're
going to stay there for a long time. Some of them will stay longer than others, Jaffa and a smart
will stay in Abyssinia for an entire decade to 12 years. And what you find some kind of lies that
would Jaffa smart that all three of their sons were actually born in Ethiopia were born in India. So
they had Abdullah they had Mohammed and they had own May Allah subhanaw taala be pleased with them
also, they settled on Abbess, India, and they have their children there and obviously a huge portion
of the COI is missed because they're settled in Abyssinia. They're not with the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:25:41 --> 00:26:28
			it was set them in Mecca. nor are they with the initial, you know, migration to Medina. And so they
will settle there and they will stay in Abyssinia. While that takes place. Well it takes place.
While hunda takes place. One does Jafar will be a low tide and who make his way to Medina, it was at
the same time as hyper. Okay, so we're talking about much later into the time in Medina several
years after the hizzle and it was right at the time that the prophets Allah lahardee, who was Salah
had won the battle of hiber. And when Jennifer will the low tide and who came the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam kissed him between his eyes and he was in so much joy he embraced Jaffa and kissed
		
00:26:28 --> 00:27:17
			him between his eyes imagine how much he loved Jaffa and how much he missed him and how much there
was left to be discussed between the prophets I seldom and Jaffa and the Prophet sallallahu wasallam
kisses him right between his eyes and he says Madri be a homer and after the plumie Jaffa aam be fed
hybrid, he said that I don't know which of the two which of the two things has given me greater joy.
Is it the coming of Java? Or is it the conquest of highbush that these are two wonderful pieces of
news and I don't know which of them is greater right now. But he was so happy to to have Jaffa while
the hotel back in his midst a person who was like a brother Tim and a person who resembled the
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:59
			Prophet's life in so many different ways as how there are certain stories and qualities that I want
to talk about here now inshallah tada when Jaffa will the law towel and who finally is part of the
community in Medina and we get to observe some of his qualities post Islam since almost all of it
was lived in Kenya, he settled there, he had his family there, and now he's with the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasallam you might remember that when Hamza will be a lot of time who was was
martyred. That you know these families bento Hashem they wanted to take care of each other's
children. And when Hamza will the law on whose daughter was left behind after he was martyred.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:48
			Ali Jaffer and Zaid all wanted to raise the daughter of hams level the lowdown on and the way the
prophets Isom settled it between the three. He comes to them and Zaid says that she is the daughter
of my brother. They didn't Howdy. She is the daughter of my brother. And was they meant by that is
that the Prophet slice alum didn't aha he paired off Zaid and Hamza at the time of the hyjal. So he
said she's the daughter of my brother, so I should be the one to take care of her. Jaffa are the
allowed and who said look? She's the daughter of my uncle because Hamza is the uncle of Jaffa and my
wife is her maternal aunt as well because a smart mentor mace is the sister of Selma vinter. Mais
		
00:28:48 --> 00:29:29
			Selma vinter amaze is the wife of Hamza. So Selma is the wife of Hamza a smart is the wife of Jaffa.
So jafra says Hamza is my uncle. And my wife and his wife are sisters, therefore, because she's the
maternal aunt of his daughter, that she's going to be the best person to take care of his daughter.
Ideal, the longtime host said she's the daughter of my uncle, and he tried to make that claim and
the prophets Allah lahardee he was setting up the way he judges between the three is he says to all
three of them something beautiful. So he says, to ideal the law turn on home
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:59
			and he he says to him, and to many well no monk, you are for me and I am from u to Z. He says enter
a hona You are our brother instead of Hamza not just Hamza, you're not just the brother of Hamza,
you are our brother. Well, Mo Nana and fried servants. So some have a lot. It's it's a way of of,
you know, showing Zaid, that'll be a lot of time and who is favorite that you're not just the
beloved one of Hamza the brother Hamza. You're our brother.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:50
			Our Mona under my guardianship. And then he says to Jaffa Well, the low tide I know that he has the
best right? The greatest right to raise the daughter of Hamza, why? because, number one, and Hala
Beeman zillertal own. So you find the famous Hadith where the Prophet seisen said the maternal aunt
is like the mother, the maternal aunt is like the mother. And so, you know, a smile is closest to
her in that sense. But then he says to Jaffa will the allow time and a spat the healthy will Hello.
And this is not the only time he would say this to Jaffa, he says that you are the closest to me,
both in your physical appearance as well as in your character. What an amazing compliment to be
		
00:30:50 --> 00:31:15
			given to you by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that there is no person who resembles me in
external appearance and health, and hold up your internal appearance meaning your character, then
you owe Jaffa, what an amazing compliment for the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to give to him. So we'll
talk about some of those qualities, and Jaffa will the title. But before that, I want to actually
talk about how almost all the time
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:59
			challenges a smart interface. Now you have jofra a snob interface in the community and Medina. And
this is new, right? I mean, they've been away from the community of the prophets lifetime for all of
these years, and all metal the alarm who comes to visit hafsa. And he sees in the house of hopsital,
the lavonne has a smell. And he asks about her. He says Who is that? And hafsa says, you know, she's
a Shia, she's a smart, the Abyssinian at that point. That's how she's to be known. So almost all the
time hope says to her sub Nakhon bullheads Allah that we proceeded you in his Allah we proceeded you
in the migration and a smart while the allotted time and
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:38
			she didn't like that comment from our model the a lot on a smart says that, you know, because he was
saying that we proceeded you in the heads of us so we have more right to the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam than you? So she responded. And she said to our model, the a lot I know,
she said, Well, law you had the privilege of being in the companionship of the messenger sallallahu
it was someone who fed the hungry amongst you and instructed the ignorant amongst you, whereas we
were far away in the land of Abyssinia among strangers and enemies, and that was all for Alon His
Messenger. sallallahu it was Sunday. And he said and she said to him will lie I will not eat or
		
00:32:38 --> 00:33:16
			drink until I make mention to Allah's Messenger sallallahu it was none of what you have said, We
remained in that in that land of in constant trouble and fear and I will talk to a lot of messenger
I'll explain to Allah messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and asked him about, you know who has
more right to him? And she said, I will not lie or deviate or add anything to what you have said. So
Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam comes selesai some comes and she says, Jada sort of
law, I don't know the alohar and he says so and so. He says that said that the napkin bill hits a
lot that we proceeded you to the migration. Therefore, we have more right to you than then those
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:57
			from avicennia and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that his right is not more than
yours. For him and his companions have only one headlock, and you are as how will hyjal attain You
are the people of two hingeless Subhana Allah so the Prophet size of them rules in the favor of a
smart, the wife of Jaffa in that sense it says you are the people have to hingeless what a noble
deed to do remember the prophets I seldom mentioned that Islam wipes away everything that comes
before it. Hajj abroad, wipes away everything that comes before it, heads it off, wipes away
everything that comes before it. And these were the people that made the two most noble hingeless
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:42
			the Hitler to avicennia as well as the Hitler to Medina, all for the sake of Allah Subhana what's
Allah? So we said and this is in Buhari that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said to Jaffa will be
allowed tada I know that no one resembles me more in both physical appearance as well as character
than you Oh, Jaffa What about oh boy hooray all the time? And who who knew so many of the
companions? What does he say about Jaffa? Well, the alohar No, he says that none has put on sandals,
nor worn them nor written amounts or a camel after the Messenger of Allah sallallahu wasallam that
is better than Jaffa banaba plot. That's a high level of praise, that there is no person that you
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:59
			see after the Prophet slice alum of lumen Jaffa will be allowed to learn. And there are reasons for
this right? This wasn't just because of the way that he looked in. And some of these characteristics
in the vague sense there are reasons for this, who will be a lot of time and who says that
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:42
			We used to call Jennifer all the time. And how about Mr. Kane, the father of the poor. So when we
would come to him, he would draw us close to him as long as he was present. He said, One day we came
to him and we could not find anything with him that Jaffa will be allowed and who was the father of
the poor and that he used to come close to them, and he would give everything that he had. And he
said, we came to him one day and he couldn't find anything. So all he had was a jar of honey and he
broke the jar. And so we began to lick the portion of honey off of what was left from what jack
federal the total I know hat. So anything he had, he gave it. And he says in another narration, that
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:47
			kind of Jaffa will not be applauded you Hibberd Mr. Kane, weirdly. So in a while, you had this
		
00:35:49 --> 00:36:30
			what you had when you had this Oh, now, he says that Jaffa all the time and who used to love the
port, and he would sit with them, and he would talk to them and they would talk to him. And in this
narration, though, this narration is has a weakness in his chain of no magic that the prophets I
seldom gave him the Konya, the nickname of unmasking the father of the port. But this is really
important here to mention because if the prophets I seldom used to ask Allah subhanaw taala for
humble Misaki for the quality of the love of the poor, and the prophets Isom says about Jaffa will
the alongside I know that he is the most like be in character, then you can imagine how noble this
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:37
			particular quality is, when you live in a society of the likes of Apple, Beckett and Earth, man and
others.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:37:23
			And those people that were distinguished for their generosity and you become known for your love of
the poor. Notice that it wasn't that Jaffa will be allowed on who was the most generous in the sense
that he gave more money than the others No, it was the love of the poor that Jaffa or the low tide I
know had that a hora with the low tide and have been from us Hagia Sophia being from the poor,
appreciated and was able to, to distinguish from even the most noble companions that were around
Jaffa will be alongside in that very short time. So, he had he was distinguished for his love of the
port, spending time with the port talking to them, them talking to him sharing whatever he had with
		
00:37:23 --> 00:38:10
			them and that is what will be allowed to took note of and so you see the humility of daffodil the
hotel and the empathy of Jaffa will be allowed. I know this was despite his eloquence. This was
despite his closeness to the prophets Isilon. This was despite the leadership position that he had,
he did not come into Medina, with an arrogant posture. He came into Medina, as humble as when he
embraced Islam, and demonstrating that same, that same mercy that Ramadan lalla mean that the mercy
to the world's Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam was known for not some kind of a lot. You know, it was
only a short time after that he's going to take part in his first battle alongside or under the
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:16
			command of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And that is the Battle of water,
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:45
			which is a difficult battle against the Byzantines, who had, you know, mobilized to attack the
Muslims, or they had attacked one of the emissaries one of the ambassadors of the Prophet slice
Allah, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam dispatches an army to confront the Byzantines.
And the prophets, like some sense in that battle. It's not the Jaffa had a long time. But Jaffa has
distinguished he says in that battle,
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:53
			the first commander, they didn't hanifa the beloved one of the prophets of the lahardee, who Islam.
		
00:38:54 --> 00:39:38
			And the Prophet slicin um, says that, if Zaid is killed, Jaffa should take command. So if Xavier is
killed, then you immediately look to Jaffa and he's your commander. And if Jaffa is killed, then you
appoint Abdullah not a lot. And if I have the love that a lot is killed, then choose amongst you at
that moment, the best commander right make a judgment call at that moment. So other than that, they
mentioned that the fact that the Prophet slicin was even mentioning these possibilities, was was
different, right that the Prophet slicin was talking about all of these different scenarios and that
if this person dies, appoint this person if this person dies, appoint this person. So some of the
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:59
			elements of that was unique, and that was different about this battle. And it says if the Prophet
slice alum knew he was giving an indication that this was going to be a difficult battle, a battle
that they were not, that was not like the other battles that they would experience. So it's kind of
like they go out to Mota, which is in Jordan today in modern day Jordan and
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			When they get to
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:39
			the army, the Muslim army finds that there are over 100,000 men that have been masked by the
Byzantines. And they are they're more skilled warriors. And this is meant to be a statement sent to
the Muslims by the Byzantine Empire. Right, the Muslim army was anywhere from 25,000 to 30,000 men.
So it was one fourth of the size, and they were in the territory of the Byzantines, because this is
now under Byzantine territory. So they go to fight the Byzantines in this battle. In what
		
00:40:40 --> 00:41:31
			zaidan hanifa. The Beloved One of the Prophet sallallahu it was Saddam was killed almost
immediately. He's one of the first people to die Jaffa all the time, and he assumes the command. And
Jaffa who had just made the heads up to Medina to being the companionship of the Prophet, slice alum
is experiencing this difficult battle. And he fights so bravely, he penetrates deep into their
forces, he is swinging his sword right and left. And he is suffering all sorts of wounds along the
way. But Jaffa will be a long time I know is not giving up until Jaffa the alota einhell has both of
his arms cut off, Pamela I mean, this is a difficult way for a person to be slain. So he has both of
		
00:41:31 --> 00:42:18
			his arms cut off, and then he is stabbed and killed with over 70 wounds to his body all the time. I
know. And he passes away, he becomes a Shaheed a martyr in the Battle of water. I'd love that aloha
takes the next command, he goes forth and he dies. At that point, CATIA didn't know what he'd who
had, well, the long time just accepted Islam. He's chosen as the commander, and he's able to, he's
able to rearrange the army to to attack from different directions, and to basically send off the
Byzantine forces and to return back to Medina with what's left of the Muslim army. And so the
nightmare and what the prophet slicin him was was mentioning as a possibility of Zaid going down and
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:23
			then Jaffa going down and then I'd love that a lot going down had actually happens.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:27
			I saw the low tide on her.
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:55
			She says that the prophets I send them was was waiting, you know anxiously for the news of Mota says
if he felt something sallallahu wasallam about this particular battle. And when the news came, you
know, she says that when the news came of the death of Jaffa, Allah FNA if you watch hidden abuse,
Allah Hardy was someone who isn't we saw this grief overcome the face of the Prophet sallallahu it
was
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:46
			he had just gotten his cousin back, right to Medina, his brother back who resembled him most in
appearance and character, he loved him so deeply and he just got him back on top of this, Zaid, his
son, right, who in janelia, who he adopted as a son, and his beloved one also was was was killed in
this battle. So the prophets licen last Zaid and Jaffa that's a major hit to the family of the
prophet SAW the law hard to summon to the heart of the prophets lie so them and this is one of the
most human moments or one of the ways that you see the heart of the Prophet slice alum really shine
in in a difficult moment. It's a narration on top of cotton assigned by a smile The alarm on herself
		
00:43:46 --> 00:44:04
			who talks about waiting for Jafar to come home. They just move to Medina. A smile the Aloha aloha
knows that Jaffa has gone out to battle. She knows that the army is on its way back from battle,
which he doesn't know is that her husband is dead.
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:05
			And
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:10
			if you can imagine a wooded mess that can
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:59
			if Jennifer was known for having a character that most resembled the character of the Prophet slice
on them, and he had such compassion for the mess that Kenan Medina that he barely knew, but would
sit with them and love them and listen to them and be listened to by them. Imagine what he was like
as a husband. right the way I mean, think about how the Prophet slicin was described as being so
much more in his home than the perfection even that he showed outside of his home. And imagine how
much ismat left him they spent 12 years in a foreign land together, raise their family as this
minority came to Medina. We're now in the presence of the Prophet slice alum and she is witnessing
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			the bust of
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			Her husband Jonathan will be at the hotel. And so what is a smart say?
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:41
			She says that when the army was coming back, she said I got myself ready. I went in I wore a new set
of clothes, I perfume myself. I took all of the children of Jaffa, I bathed them, I closed them, I
gave them the best perfume. I got them ready. She said, I cook the best meal. I prepared the dough.
I was waiting for my husband to come back and imagine the profit slice alum has to tell her that
your husband's not coming back. Right? I mean, you talk about the difficulty of breaking the news
and the profit slice on them himself is really hurting over the death of Jaffa.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:46
			So she says that when was the last slice and M came to us then
		
00:45:47 --> 00:46:11
			she said that I opened the door. And she said that his face looked off. He looked sad. And I was
anxious but I was afraid to even ask him what happens. But you could see in the profit side some he
his expressions were in his face a little lahardee was some you could tell that something was wrong.
But she said I didn't want to ask him because I was afraid he would tell me what I didn't want to
hear.
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:46
			So the prophets lies I'm greeted me and he said, Bring me jack first children. And she said that
when they came the prophets I send them you know, they crowded around him and they were so happy
they love the Prophet size and they love to see him he has an uncle to them he is so beloved to
them. So she said each one of them wanting to claim him for themselves. So each one of them jumping
on the profit slice and this was the way that the profit slice and was as an uncle as a father as a
as a messenger it his slides were set up. So they they each jumped on the profit slice alone.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:47:05
			And she says that the Prophet slice alum, he grabbed each one of them. And she uses these words he
said that he would put his nose and their hair he was smelling them out as latos Law and the
Prophets lysozyme could not contain his tears as he was holding the children of death follow the
law.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:10
			Smart well the alohar on her says
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:50
			I asked the prophets I said lump Have you heard anything about Jaffa? Right? Because she now knows
something is wrong and the Prophet sighs I was unable to hide it. Because he's grabbing the kids and
he's sniffing their hair and he's and he's crying solahart he was selling. So the profit slice that
um, says that he's been killed. And when he said that, to me as smart as speaking she said that I
screamed, I shouted, and the profit slice, you know, tried to call me down and he told me to, to not
to not well to not to not scream and he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he left the home and this is
where we actually find the famous narration
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:47:55 --> 00:48:00
			it's not only early Jaffa the early Darfur firemen that make food
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:05
			for the family of jobs it will be a long time and who forgot at home is gonna
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:24
			make food for the family of Jaffa for cut at home mom yet Nyah Shalom, make food for the family of
Jaffa because they are busy with what has come to them with the news that has come to them. So this
is where we find the sin of taking care of the family
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:54
			when they are dealing with the death in the family. And so how do we see the opposite today, by the
way, I mean, the Sunnah is to prepare food for the family not to make the family prepare food or be
burdened with hosting other people. We do the complete opposite we burden the family the profit
slice on was saying prepare food for them take care of their needs. Because they're busy right now
they've been struck with news that keeps them busy, so give them space. And so however we do the
complete opposite of the sinner, but this is where we actually find
		
00:48:56 --> 00:49:42
			the narration about how to take care of the family of the deceased and the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam he then says the beautiful words that he saw something he said about a two Jafar on your
three euro film Jenna Mountain monetti case that I saw Jennifer will be a lot of time flying in
Jenna with the angels. What a beautiful sight to see. The prophets likes that him saw many things he
saw waterpark, he saw xid phenomena as we spoke about and these were people that he saw in Jenna but
what comfort does it give to the family of death penalty a lot how do I know when the profit slice
and I'm says that I saw him guilty it'll fill Jonah mountain melodica flying in Jana, along with the
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:45
			angels and hence the nickname
		
00:49:46 --> 00:50:00
			The Regina hain, the two wings person and this is not a nickname that comes later on in Islam. This
is a nickname that the Sahaba knew Jaffa by the one with two wings because
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:38
			What the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said the the possessor of two wings. And it's even narrated
that the love and Alma for the lowdown on Homer when he used to greet the son of Jaffa of the love
najat for who grew up to be a great companion that he used to say a Sara Monica. You have another
agenda hain he said to him, peace beyond to you or son of the Jenna hang the possessor of two wings.
So Jennifer becomes known as the one who flies amongst the angels with his two wings all the time. I
know. Some of you might remember some candlelight I've given
		
00:50:39 --> 00:51:01
			a talk about my mother in law Have mercy on her may Hashem. Almost 10 years ago, at an ethnic
convention I told her story and Pamela, her family she was a descendant of Jaffa not to be thought
about a lot I know. And I grew up with this image on the wall actually right next to her bed where
everyone from the descendants of john follow the law at home.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:40
			It's not just the way that Ben Hashem the way that they trace their lineage back to who it is from
Ben Ohashi, and they trace their lineage to but they actually have a unique thing for Jeff it'll be
a lot of times where where they prepare the names on the on the leather, and they trace the lineage
back that for her for their portion of bento Hashim, they have two wings at the top. And so how am I
growing up? It's, I would always look at that on her wall right next to her bed. Those two wings of
jet fuel the long tail at home and the family of Jaffa or the low tide I'm home descending from that
source had a lot I mean, these people
		
00:51:42 --> 00:52:15
			made sacrifices for snom that we are feeling today even in our very being of Islam of being Muslims
today, in so many different ways, because Jaffa will be a long time and who was murdered or martyred
during the prophets licens life we don't have Heidi's narrated by Jeff little the alongside on
himself. Instead we have a hadith narrated about him by primarily, you know, I'm selama, who was of
course in avicennia avora been Miss Ruth and his son Abdullah and Jaffer, who we mentioned
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:27
			was would grow up to be a famous companion, and would narrate many Ahadi from the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam. As for a snap interface, may Allah be pleased with her.
		
00:52:29 --> 00:53:14
			When we talk about the way that the companions used to marry the widows, it's not been to replace
might have heard her name already a few times as we're going through the stories of these people.
That's not been remade so the alotau know after the death of Jaffa was married to non other than
double Beckett, a study Claudia Walton on abubaker marries a smart and he has his one son is now
born to snap into roommates and he is Mohammed. Even Abby Becca she gave birth to Mohammed bin w
Beckett atomia clots as they were on their way to hedge. When you talk about the halifa them you
caught in Medina, as you make your way to Hajj. She gave birth to Mohammed Abu Dhabi back into there
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:59
			she is the woman that performed the little sort of a bucket of vehicle of the law, Tada. And when he
passed away, and she's also the woman who helped prepare the body of Fatima or the hotel and when
she passed away, so she performed she marries, I will Becca she has a son from Rebecca she, she
performs the listen of Beckett, and she of course performs as well. We'll also have Fatima out of
the hotel. After that you now have a woman that's been widowed and she's been married to Jaffa and
Beckett, what an incredible and she has children from both of them. That in and of itself is
incredible. And after that, who comes to marry her one faulty model the low tide on her dies, I read
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:14
			all the low tide and who sometime afterwards then proposes to her and marries her and said that has
not been amazed. She turned down a ton of proposals. It's not like she had a shortage of people
proposing to her she had many people proposing to her
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:23
			because of who she was. And she kept turning them down. She's like, Who am I going to follow up
Jaffa and then I will back it with but then when I Lee King
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:59
			she accepted his proposal. And she married it it'll the hotel and when she'd even lived past it and
she wouldn't marry after it will be a long time who was martyred. So this woman marries two of the
four. Suppan a lot of these close up. And there's a beautiful story that takes place. It's a funny
story, but it's a beautiful story, not end with it and Charlotte's Allah because when she married a
bucket we said she had Mohammed and she already had a Mohammed from Jennifer too. So she has
Mohammed bin Jaffa and she has Mohammed bin Abu Bakr
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:39
			They're both her sons and now she's married to Alibaba pilot and Mohammed in Jaffa and Mohammed in
Abu Bakr get into an argument. And Mohammed Nabi Beckett says to Mohammed bin Jaffa who was older
than him, his older half brother, he says, and Accra moment, I'm better than you. What are the Accra
moment a beak and my father is better than your father. So he pulled that card he said, Oh, Beckett
is better than Jaffa and I'm better than you. Now when he says that I'd eat all the time. I know.
What's he going to do here? Right. I mean, this is an interesting argument to settle amongst two
brothers. So I'd eat all the time Andrew says yeah, smart. Leave a nomad. He said a smart use of
		
00:55:39 --> 00:56:22
			this one you judge between these two in what they have set? smart. Well, the alotta Elena she says
mala a to SHODAN kana failing in Jaffa. I never saw a young Arab men a young man as good as Jaffa
Jaffa was the best of the young men. One cannon height. I mean, Rebecca, and I never saw an old man
better than Rebecca. So I see Mary Jaffer, when he was young, she married double bucket when he was
old. So she said Jaffa was the best of the young men of Wilbekin was the best of the elderly men.
And a little the Aloha tala and he says, not tequila. Nasha you love nothing for us. You know? So
Pamela, you praise the record and you praise Java? What about me? Just she said that, in the third
		
00:56:22 --> 00:57:04
			artha enter a Hassan Lee hightly fi out, she said that look, you know, basically what it is, is that
you belong to this company of three. And so that in and of itself is nobility and something to be
proud of right that you belong to this category of three incredible human beings that we know all
the time and Homer Jemaine aboubaker and Jaffer and Ollie smart, and the children that came from
that, and the lessons that we take from the treatment of widows, the way the prophet SAW some
consoled that family, the way that the community Move, move forward with that family, may Allah
Subhana Allah have mercy upon Jafar and be pleased with him, and allow us to fly with him in general
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:26
			one day, and the companionship of the prophets, Allah and the righteous that have passed before us
and those that will come after us may last pedo to Allah gather us, amongst them and with them, all
in the realm of believing souls. I may Allah subhanaw taala purify us from all that would hold us
back from having their company alone I mean, disciple ohioan was said Mr. Deacon, what happens
although he will get a cut
