Let's move on to
his nephew insha'allah and let's talk about him
because you have to see it all
as one with the Naihta'alam.
After Arwa,
bin Mas'ud
is killed,
his children
and his widow
go to Madinah.
And his son particularly Abu Moulayhi. Abu Moulayhi
says
to his people, he says that I will
never live with you again after what you
did to my father. Like, you know, my
father said not to kill in his name,
but I'll never live with you. I can't
be with you
after what you did to my father. So
they make their way to Madinah
and
all of his children are gonna end up
dying in Madinah,
pretty much as all of all of them
die pretty much dying in Madinah, if not
all of them, but they will all die
as Muslims. Abu Moulay,
A'asan,
Dawood,
Humam, Abu Murrah, all of these different children
that he had and he had a large
set of children. He also had a brother
that embraced Islam whose name was Abdullah ibn
Mas'ud al Saqafi, not the famous Abdullah ibn
Mas'ud,
and who's buried in Al Baqir.
And they make their way to Al Madinah.
So the children now make their way to
Al Madinah. The chief of Ta'if
tried to call his people to Islam,
and he has been killed or the Saqafi
chief has been killed.
So you switch over now to Al Madin
al Munawara.
His widow,
Maimouna bint Abi Sufyan,
will be married by
Al Murida abnusharaba.
We're gonna talk about Al Murida abnusharaba.
It just so happens that
his granddaughter, Humam, his son had a daughter,
that is the mother of Al Hajjad ibn
Yusuf al Saqafi,
a very famous,
complicated
person in Islam, right, who was a tyrant,
but who also
has many historical things that are attributed to
him. So that's from his lineage. Right? So
his lineage kind of shifts over to Al
Madinah
and his mother,
I'm sorry, his wife, the widow
marries,
ibn Shurba,
athakafi.
Now let's talk about Al Mughira ibn Shurba
AllahiAllahu ta'ala Anhu
because he has a whole story. Everyone has
a story here and how they come in,
which is very interesting.
And
is the only Sahabi from Saqif, the only
companion from Saqif that exists in Medina.
No one else in Medina is from Saqif.
So it's basically him and Urwa who came
for that short time, and that's it.
Al Mughirah ibn Shurba,
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
he said, kanani Nabi Ussalallahu Alaihi Wasallam be
Abi Erisa, that the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
nicknamed me
Abu
'Isa.
And he is from those people that are
known as Duhatul Arab.
Duhatul Arab are the most intelligent and most
cunning of the Arabs.
He was known for his intelligence.
He was known for his trickery,
and he really wasn't a very good man
before Islam.
So he employed his trickery
in all of the worst ways. Now, by
the way, this is the bodyguard of the
prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. Right? So as I
give you the image,
he walked in like a guy that's walking
around the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam that basically
assigns himself as a bodyguard. He has a
rough past,
and he's described as Duhatul Arab. He was
tall,
extremely tall, huge muscles,
very wide shoulders,
huge legs.
His hair was was plentiful and he had
them tied in 4 braids. Allah radiAllahu ta'ala
Anhu,
extremely strong man.
Right?
And he's basically gonna assign himself as the
bodyguard of the prophet sallAllahu alaihi wasalam.
Like, mohira does security.
Alright?
Security. So anyone that's like a bodyguard can,
like, look to Mogira, and you can find,
like, some, you can find something from him,
right, in terms of how he is.
But his story before Islam is actually not
a very nice one at all.
Right? And of course, Islam does away with
things before and it shows you the redemptive
power,
of Islam.
Basically,
he left Ta'if,
and he said that I went out with
13 men from Ben U Malik.
Happened to be the tribe that shot
Rudwa
with the arrows, the subtribe that shot with
the arrows. So he said, I went with
13 of them to Macaukos,
the the the ruler of Egypt, the Coptic
in Egypt,
because Makokos was known to be generous. So
basically, if Makokos saw people that came to
him, Makokos would always give you something. He'd
send you out. He'd invite you into his
palace. So I went out with them basically
to go to Egypt to meet maukauskas, and
someone from that group had a relationship with
maukauskas.
Alright? And he said, I was the only
one that wasn't from their group.
Right?
Now the story of Khadabia is going to
start making sense to you. He said, I
asked Ruru Abu Nu Mas'ud, my uncle,
for advice,
Fenahani.
He told me, don't do it.
No one from your, your father's people is
with you. Right? Like, at the end of
the day, yeah, you're all kind of friends
and you're from Thav, but you're not super
close. If anyone gets left out of this,
it's gonna be you, so it's dangerous for
you to go. But he said, you know,
basically,
I decided to go
anyway.
Alright. Everything I'm about to say, remember, he
wasn't Muslim at the time.
So everything he does is not Muslim
at all at the time.
So he said, so we entered in. Eventually,
we tried to get in Mochaqis' face. We
tried to visit him in his palace. We
weren't allowed by his guards, but Macaukos came
to know about us. He met us in
one of the churches,
at the time,
and he
basically received us, a group of 14 of
us. And the one that he knew from
amongst us that was kind of the leader
amongst us, he brought him, he sat him
next to him, and he said, aqullukumben
Bani Malik. Are all of you from Bani
Malik?
So the man said, all of us except
for 1.
So that basically,
you know, they
were given so much, and they basically
excluded me from everything. So they took all
the stuff from him, and he gave them
all sorts of stuff.
And then he left me out. Said, look,
I'm not Muslim at the time.
I was angry. I was upset.
So and he's smart.
He said, I realized that it would not
be a wise idea on the way back
for me to try to attack all 13
of them and take their stuff.
But he said, I came up with something
else.
Don't try
this.
He said, I basically got a bunch of
wine
and I offered them something to drink.
And I told them, I have a headache,
so I'm gonna serve you guys. I don't
want to drink. And he said, I basically
got them all drunk.
So I got some really good wine on
the way
in Egypt,
put it, poured it for them over and
over and over again until they got so
drunk, they didn't know where they were. And
then he said, basically, I eliminated them and
I took all their stuff.
That's Morida before Islam.
Islam does away with everything before it.
So when you see someone that comes out
of prison or you hear a story of
a man that killed 99 people,
Wohira has a rough past.
He didn't believe in akhira. He didn't believe
in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So he said,
I took all their stuff, I tied their
camels, and I left them behind.
And he said, basically, I was like, I'm
just gonna live the rest of my life
now trading with all of this stuff.
I don't need to go back to Ta'if.
I'm good. I'm set with the money that
I have.
Until Islam reached him,
and he wants to become Muslim. Look at
the stories, subhanAllah.
So he goes to Medina with all of
the stuff
after it's all done.
It's been some time. He goes to
Medina
and he enters into Medina.
And I'm telling you, man, like the people
of Ta'if. You get it. Like these people
that hurt the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, they've
all got some character.
The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam is sitting there
and Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu is with him
and he sees,
Mughira coming. He's a big man with all
of these camels and all of the stuff
and clearly well-to-do. And even though it's been
some time since that action happened, like at
this point now, people know what
happened.
So
Abu Bakr says, I'm in Misra'qbaltum.
Did you come from Egypt?
Kultunah,
like, basically to say that I know I
know what you did. So he said, yeah,
I came from Egypt.
What happened to the people from
Banu Malik? So it's kind of awkward now
because he has to say that, I mean,
I got rid of them basically and I
took their stuff. I stole their stuff.
But he said, I wasn't Muslim at the
time.
This is basically the way that we were
in Jahiliya. Right? I mean, that was the
life. That's Jahiliya life.
You don't believe in akhirah? You try to
cheat each other. You try exploit each other,
you take people's stuff. They messed me over,
so I'm taking them over. You know, I
took their stuff.
And he said,
but he said, I don't want it anymore
because I want to become Muslim. So he
said, I want to give it all to
the prophet salAllahu alaihi wa sallam, and he
can basically use it for the sake of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. I want to clean
my hands.
I want to be forgiven. And that's a
testimony to his sincerity with the Prophet SallAllahu
Wa Salam. He's like, take all of the
stuff.
And the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam
responds
and he says, imma Islam.
Okay? Ask for your Islam.
We can accept your Islam
but he says,
So that money is
treachery, stolen money. I don't want anything to
do with it.
So the prophet said I said I can
accept your Islam.
I can't accept that stuff.
Right? You gotta find something else to do
with that stuff. And now,
Muhida says, I was so worried. I said,
You Rasulullah, like, am I forgiven? And the
prophet assured him that everything that happened before
Islam, you can be forgiven, but you've got
to find a way
to dispose of all of that. There's a
whole process of,
you know, undoing the harm that you did
and different people and all of that, which
is kind of assumed in the Sira with
these texts. Right? That, you know, sending things
back to the tribe or something, but your
Islam is accepted.
You can be forgiven,
but that stuff in the past,
I'm not taking money that you stole from
people,
in that process.
So basically,
he accepted Islam, he stayed in Medina,
he's the only
Ta'afi, Thakafi that's living in Medina with the
Prophet
Now comes back to Hudavia.
He's standing next to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, armored up.
Right? Because he says,
that the prophet went out, wakuntu akunummaasadiq.
He said that I used to be as
close to the prophet as Abu Bakr radiAllahu
alaihi wa sama. I basically took it upon
myself to be by his side all the
time. I wanted to protect the prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam at all costs. And he's
smart. He's that guy that knows how to
analyze a place, that knows how to read
a situation.
He's with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He
says, fakuntu arzamu. I was always with the
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And then
I saw my uncle approach the prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam in Hudavia,
and my uncle
tried to put his hand on the prophet
salallahu alaihi wa sallam's beard, and I hit
the hand of my uncle. And I told
him, if you want your hand back,
I suggest you don't put it on the
beard of the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam again.
And he said, that's when my uncle
said to me,
that I'm still paying off,
still cleaning myself
from your mess
because what happened back in Ta'if when he
did that was that Urwa ibn Mas'ud was
the closest relative to Muhira.
So Urwa had to pay all of the
blood money and the compensation and basically try
to make peace with Ben U Malik cause
his nephew was the one that did what
he did. So Ir was like, you've got
to be kidding me. I'm cleaning up your
mast and ta'af.
I just finished last night
finally dealing with I mean, obviously, it's it's
a figure of speech, but I just finished
cleaning up your Mas'in Ta'af.
And now here I am in Hudaybiyah, and
you're the one knocking my hand and standing
next to the prophet sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam.
Like, talk about a moment where it all
comes back,
in my face. He's like, I'm different now.
And of course, he is from the,
companions
of Bayatr Ridwan, from the companions of those
who took the pledge with the prophet under
the tree and who Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
mentioned that he was pleased with. So his
Islam is sincere. His repentance is sincere. But
what a past.
Urwa has a
past. He's got a past.
Right?
And these are the only 2, like, Muslims
of Fa'if that we know at this point
that are with the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam.
Fast forward.
How does it all come full circle now
with the 2 of these figures involved?
The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
placed Ta'af under siege and he left them.
And he made dua' that Thaqif would come
back to them as Muslims, that Allah would
eventually
guide them.
Urwa
comes back to his people
and they killed,
when
he called them to Islam, that was after
the siege of Ta'if.
They thought to themselves,
oh,
we just killed
Arawab and Mas'ud, and now he's with the
Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. He's aligned with the
Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Let's hurry up and send a delegation to
Madinah
so that we can basically come to peace
with the Prophet We don't want like what
we did to Urwa
to cause a war between us and the
Prophet and Madinah.
So they send, Subhanahu Wa'arua actually achieves what
he wanted. This is minal mumineen radijaal l'an
sadaqur, the truthfulness of intention.
As a delegation to the Prophet
to basically make peace with the Prophet
So
13
thought if he's come to Madinah to meet
the prophet salAllahu alaihi wa sallam in Madinah
with everything that they did.
Imagine if you were the prophet salAllahu alaihi
wa sallam.
You people
stoned me, spit on me, almost killed me,
put me through the worst of the worst.
Now you're coming into my city and everybody
here
would understand, and you killed
my emissary. You killed the Urwa, your own
chief, who I sent back to you as
a Muslim.
Imagine if you're the prophet
Now it's time for revenge. Right? It's payback
time for all that you did. No.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
is about to enter into Ramadan, and he
hears about the delegation that's coming.
Mughira
comes to the Prophet
and he says, You Rasool Allah,
Abna'ur Umumati
Urdu an Ukrimahum.
Said, You Rasool Allah, these are my cousins.
Let me let me be the one to
honor them. Can I have the honor of
receiving them? And this is after obviously what
he did to them. And so part of
what's implied in that, I kinda did something
really bad to them before.
Maybe this is a way that I can
also because they're from Ben U Malik. I
can also kinda make peace with them. Let
me be the one to receive them in
Medina, kinda win back the hearts,
come back to that agreement with them, sort
of bring back the tribe.
The Prophet said, okay,
but with a condition.
He said, what's the condition?
The Prophet
said,
pitch
a tent for them
right in the corner of the Masjid.
Why?
They can hear us reading the Quran.
They can watch us pray so that their
hearts can soften.
SubhanAllah,
I'm not interested in revenge.
Let them just see us in our element.
Can you imagine Ramadan with the prophets salAllahu
alaihi salam
in Madinah?
Just let them watch us in Ramadan. At
this point now, the community is developed.
Right? People from all over the world and
in Madinah.
Let them come. Set them up
right next to the masjid, so that they
can hear the Quran
and so that they can watch us pray.
The story
still takes many twists and turns.
If you were to read in Sunan Abu
Dawood, Majaafi habbarata'af,
what has been narrated about Ta'af, you can
see about how weird the conversation becomes with
the Prophet SAW Hassan, Banu Taqif. I mean,
you've got some nerve with everything you did
to the Prophet SAW Hassan to come here
with any expectations. Right? With any type of
of demands.
They come to the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam
and
after they've kind of seen it and Islam
is starting to enter into their heart,
they say, alright. Listen.
We'll become Muslim but we have all these
conditions.
What are your conditions?
They said, zina, we're not giving that up.
Adultery, fornication,
sorry.
Prophet said,
what's haram is haram. I can't make haram
halal. I can't tell you, no. You can
continue to commit adultery and just be Muslim
as a condition of your Islam.
And he said, no noble people will continue
to do this. Like it's not noble. SubhanAllah,
there are so many different,
conversations that happen here. There is one man
who came and he had 10 wives,
10 wives.
So he said, I'm keeping all 10 of
them. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, no
you're not.
He said sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
Islam limited this.
You have to divorce 6.
So, alright, we don't like this, but we'll
keep talking.
Riba, usury interest,
we wanna keep doing it.
We trade in riba. That's how we make
our money.
Now you can imagine, like, the prophet salAllahu
alaihi wa sallam could say, Muhira, can you
just finish the rest of these off the
way you did back in Egypt?
I'm kinda tired of you guys. Go back
get out of here. Like, you're you're crazy
to think this.
But they said, riba,
we still want to deal in riba. And
the prophet said,
Look, you have the profit of what you
earn. You don't wrong and you, you don't
be wronged.
Right? Riba
is not halal.
Riba is not going to be halal for
you in any situation.
Okay?
So we have that. Shout out to a
continuous charity
sponsorship.
Look them up. No riba. Okay? So no
zina, no Riba. They're like, all right. This
is really
like, all right. They say to the Prophet
we're not going
to fight with you. No jihad,
no zakah. We're not going to spend money.
So no battles. We don't want to get
involved in any battles.
And no
zakam, no sadaqa.
The Prophet
is listening to them and the Prophet SallAllahu
Alaihi Wasallam says,
okay.
Umar was
like, wait a minute.
These are hypocrites. We're gonna take them out.
The prophet sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam says, listen.
I know how these people are. Once they
become Muslim, they're gonna fight alongside us and
they're gonna give their zakah. They're gonna give
their sadaqa.
Like don't worry, Omar, I know what I'm
doing here. Right?
They said
5 times a day salah, we don't want
to pray.
What do you want? We'll we'll say La
ilaha illallah Muhammadu Rasool Allah like we'll ally
ourselves to you, but no prayer, no sadaqah,
no
fasting, no no no fighting.
We still do zina. We still do it,
but like, what kind of Islam is this?
The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam says, listen, as
if how it's so beautiful, he says, la
khayra fidin laysafihe rukur. What good is there
in a religion with no prayer?
What good is there in a religion with
no prayer?
They said, alright. Well, negotiate with us. We
don't like 5 prayers. Can we do 2
2 times a day?
Prophet
says, you know what? Fine. Pray twice a
day.
Umar is like,
you're rocking my world here. This is not
what we're used to. Right? We're used to
when someone says you're becoming Muslim, It's 5
times a day out the gate. What are
you doing?
Just pray in the morning and evening. The
prophet says, Sofia Saloon. They're gonna pray, Omar.
Just let them get over this hump. I
know what they're doing.
They're they're from Fateef. They're tough. We've dealt
with them enough.
Right?
Then at the end, the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam,
he says
they said, alright. What's the last thing? He
said, your idol, Allat, has to go. You
can't worship an idol anymore. You would think
that's the most common sense part of this
is get rid of your idol.
They said, absolutely not.
They said, if we try to get rid
of the idol, the idol is going to
destroy us. Halakna.
We try to hurt that idol, and Allat
was, by the way, a huge idol built
of stones. We try to hurt Allat, Allat
is gonna destroy us.
Umar RadiAllahu Anhu couldn't, like, hold himself. Umar
RadiAllahu Anhu says, way hekaya kinana. Kinana was
the one speaking on behalf of him. Arajun
Ahmadka literally are you stupid?
Are you really that thick headed? What is
wrong with you?
He says, atahafunam
and Hejada, you're afraid of stone?
You're afraid of these rocks? You built that
idol. You think that idol is gonna be
able to hurt you?
And Kinana responds to him and says,
We didn't come to you, Ubana Khattab. We're
talking to Muhammad Leave us alone.
Let us negotiate here with the prophet
The prophet
is showing patience with them.
He says, Yohudam, the idol has to go.
They said, You Rasool Allah,
everything but that. He said, Yohedam,
the idol has to go. Like I can't
negotiate with you on idol worship here.
They said, fine. Look at how thick headed
they are. They said,
send someone else to destroy it because we're
not gonna destroy it with our own hands
because Allat is probably gonna hurt someone if
you try to destroy it. Like, it's still
in them. It's the ignorance is still in
them.
Prophet says fine.
Mughira, go with them.
So Mughira of Neshuraba,
after killing 13 of them in Jahiliyyah,
never gone back as a fugitive,
Muhira's like, oh, I'd love this. I'm gonna
go back
with them to destroy Allat.
Go back with them to destroy the idol.
So Mughira goes,
Khaled radiAllahu anhu says, I'm coming with you.
Because
they don't trust obviously the way this can
go. I mean, this could easily turn into,
like, alright. You remember what you did back
in the day?
Take them out on the way. Right?
Mokhira goes with them
and they get to 'ta'af and
Mokhira
starts to climb up a lot. When I
say this guy is a character,
this man is a character. SubhanAllah.
So as Muhgira is climbing up a lot
because it's a huge stone,
he puts his hand up, and then
he
goes
and then they all go,
and they're like,
oh, his hand is paralyzed. And Muhira goes,
my back.
They're like, a lot, a lot, a lot.
And then Moira goes,
basically, you silly people.
And he said, I told you this thing
can't do anything to you. And he starts
beating down a lot and he destroys it
just to show them how silly
their idol worship was
and how,
everything that they thought
about Allat, was not real. And so in
that, SubhanAllah, you have the rest of them.
So now you have Irwa,
you have Al Muhira, you have the children,
and they all are now Muslims.
And Ta'if
finally starts to taste the sweetness of Al
Islam as a takif
enters
into an Islam.
I wanna give you just in in conclusion
here, insha Allah, a few things about Al
Mughirah ibn Shuradda.
Your character doesn't
you know, there's something about you. Your character
is refined in Islam, but Al Muhirah was
a smart man. And his whole life, subhanAllah,
the man was brilliant.
He literally stuck to the Prophet SAW, set
himself up as the bodyguard of the Prophet
SAW, standing in front of the door of
the Prophet SAW, moving with the Prophet SAW,
And you find, subhanAllah, he narrates
so many ahadith about the wudu of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, about the travel
habits of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
about all of these different things with the
messenger of Allah, SallAllahu
Alaihi Wasallam. And,
after the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam passes away,
I want to leave his story with the
death of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam to
the end.
Umar
put him in charge of Al Bahrain,
and he was the governor of Bahrain for
some time.
He put him in charge of Kufa, and
he put him in charge of Basra. So
Umar radiAllahu anhu used him as a governor
3 times. I mean, he's a very capable
man.
And Bahrain, some of the people didn't like
him because they felt him to be a
little bit too tough, and Omar liked him
because he was tough.
Alright? So they plotted against him.
And there was a group of men, they
said, Omar hates people who bribe. Right? So
look at the plot that they came up
with. They said that this group of businessmen,
they said that we're gonna give a 100,000
to one of us and that person go
to Omar radiAllahu anhu and say, hey, Mughira
took this from Baytul Mal, from the treasury,
and he bribed us with this, and we
wanted to bring it back to you out
of nobility.
So they came to Umar Radiallahu Anhu in
Madinah, said, we got a 100,000 dirhams. Mughira
bribed us in Bahrain
and we want to kind of turn them
in and give this back to you. So
Umar Radiallahu Anhu calls in Muhira.
Muhira walks in, says, what's going on? Umar
Radiallahu Anhu says, these people are saying you
bribed them with a 100,000 from Baytul Ma'am.
He said, yeah. Where's the other 100,000?
So what are you talking about? He said,
I gave you 200.
And he starts, like, frightening the man.
And the man basically breaks under pressure and
tells the whole story
that he lied about the whole thing.
So Umar
said, why did you do that? And he
said, because I wanted them to know that
lying never benefits them. So I wanted to
sort of put them back in their place.
Right? That that that's not going to work.
So Umar
put him in charge of many different,
cities. He sent him as an emissary to
many different leaders.
He was the messenger from Sa'ad ibn Abi
Waqqas
to Rustum before the Battle of Qadisiyyah, the
leader of Persia.
He lost an eye in the Battle of
Yarmouk under Khal Nwaleed radiAllahu 'anhu. So he
was someone who was fierce in the battlefield.
He was one of those, subhanAllah, who when
the fitna happens in the Sahaba, he completely
left the fitna. He didn't want to take
any side. So he left everything, sort of
public life, for years until that all blew
over.
And then he went on to once again
become the governor of Kufa during the time
of Muawiyah
and, he would pass away in Kufa 50
years after Hijra. That's probably why he said
he was just so smart.
And so he just had this intelligence and
this street smart to him. And that's sort
of, again, that type of person you want
around you to sort of read people's body
language, read behavior, that bodyguard of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So they said he
used to, you know, he used to be
so cunning. And he said there was only
one man that ever tricked him.
One man that ever tricked him. And that
was that Muhiro wanted to marry someone.
And as he was about to marry this
woman,
he asked this man, he said, you know,
what do you think? Should I marry her?
And the man responded and he said, she's
no good. I saw her kiss a man.
So Morita said, oh, okay. So he moved
on. Then the next day he saw her
married to him.
So Morita said, what happened? He said, I
saw her kiss her father.
So Morihirah says, you're the only person in
my life who ever outsmarted me.
Right? You tricked me.
But he passed away
in Al Kufa.
And,
subhanAllah, there's so much about him. Jabir, radiAllahu
ta'ala Anhu, said,
He said that I was within Mughira. He
said if Madinah had 8 doors and no
one could escape except through, you know, plotting
and using some sort of scheme, he said,
I would trust that Muhida would get out
of all 8 of them. That's how smart
he was radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.
And when he passed away, subhanAllah, several kids,
the best of his kids was
So he named one of his children after
his uncle,
and his son, became
a governor and a scholar as well. The
last thing I'll mention here in his trickery
was the most beautiful trick that he ever
played.
Muhira was the bodyguard of the prophet SallAllahu
Alaihi Wasallam. He loved to always watch the
Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam's back.
So he said that when the Prophet SallAllahu
Alaihi Wasallam died,
it's kind of in this dilemma
because the family of the Prophet
was around him.
Ali
al Abbas
Basically, Banu Hashim
Look at this love.
He said, but I didn't want to violate
the space
of the family.
So for the first time
in the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam's life and
he as a Muslim, he has to stand
back.
The washing is happening.
He's used to standing in front of the
door of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, I
can't stand guard there anymore.
I can't guard him with my body and
SubhanAllah and Ta'if, what was it the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam didn't have anyone to guard
him except for Zayd ibn Harithan here. This
thought if Iman is like, I wanted to
be with him.
So he said, here's what I did.
He said, when they brought the prophet's
body to his grave.
He said, I accidentally
dropped my ring in his grave.
Why?
Because he said, I wanted to be the
last person that touched the body of the
Prophet SAW.
So he used to say, I'm the last
person to ever touch the body of the
Prophet SAW and
Ali radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu knew what I was
doing,
but he let it go. Right? Like I
wanted to have that closeness
alaihi wasalam, so he used to say, I'm
the last person who ever touched the Prophet
Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam.
These are 2 men,
Aruba ibn Mas'ud al Saqafi, Muhirb Nushur ba
Asaqafi, the 2 first men from Ta'if that
sort of take that turn with Saqif,
will continue later on and speak about the
other dimension which are the children
and the freed slaves of Ta'if as well.
