As-Salaamu Alaikum

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

I want to welcome

00:00:21 --> 00:00:32

you

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36

all to the episode 150 of the series

00:00:36 --> 00:00:36

The First.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

Alhamdulillah warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

It's been years and we get to this

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

point now where we've been blessed to cover

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

a multitude of companions of the Prophet ﷺ

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

and to see the Prophet ﷺ through multiple

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

perspectives in the process.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

And we ask Allah ﷻ to gather us

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

with all of the companions of the Prophet

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

ﷺ, with his family and with him ﷺ,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

Allahumma ameen.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

And inshaAllah tonight we'll mark the end of

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

this season of The First.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

So we will be putting it on pause

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

until Ramadan, inshaAllah ta'ala, and we will

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

resume The First after Ramadan.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

I will be taking a break from The

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

First, inshaAllah ta'ala, and there will be

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

another series that will begin, bi-idhnillahi ta

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

'ala, in a couple of weeks that is

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

tied to this one, inshaAllah ta'ala, that

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

bi-idhnillah will pivot but not entirely from

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

the concept of The First.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

And so we ask Allah ﷻ for tawfeeq

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

in all of that, Allahumma ameen.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

And you can guess what the series is.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

So whenever you see the trailer, you'll go,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

oh okay, that's what he meant, inshaAllah ta

00:01:37 --> 00:01:37

'ala.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

You see an announcement, you'll say that's what

00:01:38 --> 00:01:38

he meant.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

We've been talking about these different companions that

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

came to know the Prophet ﷺ from different

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

parts of the world, their migration to the

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

Prophet ﷺ, especially as it relates to now

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

Amul Wufud, the year of the delegation.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

And we talked about that special companion, a

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

group of companions in fact, from Al-Yaman,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

and we talked about Jarir ibn Abdillah ﷺ.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

And tonight, it's befitting that episode 150, we

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

talk about the Palestinian companion, the Palestinian Sahabi,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

and I'm going to explain exactly what I

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

mean by that because I already know that

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

some people are going to say, don't say

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

Palestinian about a companion, you know, Palestine was

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

later on and things of that sort.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

But I actually start with that description of

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

the Sahabi because Imam al-Zahabi ﷺ writes

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

the most monumental collection of biographies about the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

companions of the Prophet ﷺ.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

And he wrote his book, Sir al-Alam

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

an-Nubula, in the 1300s, refers to the

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

companion this way.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:44

His name, Sahibu Rasulillahi ﷺ Abu Ruqayya Tamim

00:02:44 --> 00:02:49

ibn Aus ibn Kharijah ibn Saudi ibn Jadhimah

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

al-Lakhmi al-Falastini.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

So this is actually his title in Sir

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

al-Alam an-Nubula.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

Tamim al-Dari Abu Ruqayya ﷺ and Imam

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

al-Zahabi refers to him as al-Falastini,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

the Palestinian companion, therefore it goes even back

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

to the 1300s where you find our scholars

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

referring to him in such a way.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

And it's notable to see that recognition or

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

to see a man that's distinguished by coming

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

to the Prophet ﷺ from the land of

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

Palestine.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

One of the things that's absolutely incredible about

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

the riwayat, the narrations where the Prophet ﷺ

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

is praising the people of Ash-Sham or

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

praising the Muslims of Ash-Sham specifically or

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

praising the Muslims of Yemen or praising the

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

Muslims around Masjid al-Aqsa is that none

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

of those people, as far as the groups

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

were concerned, had become Muslim yet.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

So the Prophet ﷺ was making a future

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

projection about those people as they embraced Islam.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

Okay, because those areas had not yet entered

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

into Islam, however we find these ambassadors that

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

are coming from that area that will be

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

the initial carriers of Islam to those areas.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

And Tamim ibn Aus al-Dari ﷺ, literally

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

by the way, al-Tamimi, when you see

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

that name in Palestine, it is from his

00:04:08 --> 00:04:08

descendants.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

So he has a large number of descendants

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

in Palestine, may Allah ﷻ free it in

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

its entirety, Allahumma ameen.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

And that is an ascription to the companion

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

of the Prophet ﷺ, Tamim al-Dari ﷺ.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

Now, what is sort of his story and

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

how does he come into the life of

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

the Prophet ﷺ and how does he rise

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

in the ranks of the Messenger of Allah

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

ﷺ?

00:04:32 --> 00:04:37

Tamim was a Palestinian Christian, a Palestinian Christian.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

And he lived under, obviously being in Ash

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

-Sham, under the Roman Empire.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

And so he practiced, it appears to be,

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

he practiced the Christianity that was in alignment

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

with what the Roman Empire was allowing.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

And obviously, you know, the Roman Empire was

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

trying to standardize Nicene Creed and so Western

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Christianity at that time is being standardized throughout

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

its territories and he lives in that reality.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

Now he himself was not necessarily, he wasn't

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

a priest, he wasn't looked at as one

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

of the preachers from Ahlul Kitab.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

His actual profession was that he was a

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

well-traveled merchant.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

So he was someone that used to lead

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

caravans in different parts of the world and

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

he interacted with, in the process of being

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

someone who would buy and sell, he interacted

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

with some of the Arabs that were coming

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

from the area of the Prophet ﷺ, from

00:05:32 --> 00:05:38

Mecca in particular, in the summer travel where

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

they would come with their caravans and they

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

would trade with the people of Ash-Sham.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

So he himself, being an Arab Christian that

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

lives under the control of the Roman Empire,

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

is interacting with them and he's getting the

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

news of what's happening in Mecca and Medina

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

through them, right?

00:05:55 --> 00:05:59

So his curiosity is being sparked through those

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

ambassadors, through those merchants that he's dealing with

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

in the process of being a merchant himself.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08

And in that, he's also a highly literate

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

and well-read man and someone who's known

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

to be scholarly, a truth seeker.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

He's someone who's looking for the truth, he's

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

someone who takes great interest in his religion.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:22

So he's a practicing Christian and someone who

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

knows the scripture, he knows the Torah, he

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

knows the Injil as it exists in its

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

current forms, and before he really gets a

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

deeper understanding of what the Prophet ﷺ represents,

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

his assumption is that this is just another

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

paganistic type of religion that's arising out of

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

all of the idol worship that's happening in

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

the region at the time.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

But he's starting to piece together through the

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

descriptions of the people that this is a

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

man ﷺ who's a descendant of Ibrahim ﷺ,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

that this is a man who is a

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

descendant of Ismail ﷺ, that he's calling to

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

Tawheed, that he's calling to monotheism, that he's

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

affirming Isa ﷺ, that he's affirming the position

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

of Jesus ﷺ, which is very different than,

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

for example, the well-known Jewish tribes that

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

had settled in Medina, that were not affirming

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

Christ.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

So this is very interesting.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

So you have a Prophet following in the

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

lineage of Ibrahim ﷺ, who affirms Christ, right?

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

I mean, just like the surprise of Najashi

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

ﷺ in Abyssinia, who affirms Christ, and he

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

affirms the Prophets of the Book, and he

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

affirms the Torah and the Injil, sounds very

00:07:29 --> 00:07:29

interesting.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

And so he's piecing together who the Prophet

00:07:33 --> 00:07:37

ﷺ is, and what he's calling to, and

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

in that process, his desire to learn the

00:07:39 --> 00:07:43

truth is growing, and he's studying deeper into

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

what Islam actually is.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

Now subhanAllah, you'll find the ayah, and it's

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

important to mention here, so you can categorize

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

him a bit, in Surah Ar-Ra'd, where

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

Allah ﷻ says, وَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابُ, وَمَنْ

00:07:54 --> 00:07:59

عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابُ, which is verse 45, in

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

Surah Ar-Ra'd, where Allah ﷻ says, and

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

those who have the knowledge of the Book.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

Qatada ﷺ says, this is referring to Salman

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

al-Farisi, رضي الله تعالى عنه, the well

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

-known truth seeker, obviously, who left his religion

00:08:13 --> 00:08:18

of al-Majusiya, right, Zoroastrianism, to go through

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

Christianity and eventually arrive at the Prophet ﷺ,

00:08:21 --> 00:08:22

so he said it's referring to Salman al

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

-Farisi and Abdullah ibn Salam, رضي الله تعالى

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

عنه, who was the chief rabbi of Medina.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

Talk about giving up your post and your

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

prestige for the truth, right, and this is,

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

there's a common thread here, it's not just

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

recognizing the truth, it's willing to endure the

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

consequences of recognition of that truth, like Salman,

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

رضي الله تعالى عنه, who left the comfort

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

of his home in Persia, went through all

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

of that, went through torture, slavery, to arrive

00:08:45 --> 00:08:46

at the Prophet ﷺ.

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

Abdullah ibn Salam, رضي الله عنه, left the

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

most prestigious position that he could have had

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

from a theological perspective in Medina, to embrace

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

the Prophet ﷺ as soon as he entered

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

into Medina, so he said, it is Salman

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

al-Farisi, وابن سلام وتميم الداري رضي الله

00:09:02 --> 00:09:02

تعالى عنه.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

So he puts Tamim al-Dari, رضي الله

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

تعالى عنه, in the category of the likes

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

of Salman al-Farisi, رضي الله تعالى عنه,

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

and Abdullah ibn Salam, رضي الله تعالى عنه,

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

both as a way of speaking to his

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

desire for the truth that led him to

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

come to the Prophet ﷺ from the people

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

of the book, and his deep scholarship of

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

al-Kitab, his deep scholarship of the book

00:09:26 --> 00:09:26

itself.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

So as he's piecing together who the Prophet

00:09:29 --> 00:09:33

ﷺ is, and what he's claiming, Tamim al

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

-Dari, رضي الله تعالى عنه, goes to some

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

of the scholars of the book in his

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

region of Palestine.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

So he goes to some of the rabbis,

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43

and he goes to a particular rabbi who

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

is deeply thorough in the Torah, and Tamim

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

رضي الله تعالى عنه is deeply thorough in

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

the Torah, and he asks him about our

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

situation.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

Where are we right now in the history

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

and the unfolding of the Anbiya?

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

And should I be a Jew, should I

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

be a Christian, where should I be exerting

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

myself?

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

And this rabbi indicates to him that there

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

is a Prophet that is to come, and

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

this is the Prophet that brings everything together,

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

and it makes sense that he would be

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

arriving in that area.

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

Right?

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

That basically the signs do point to indeed

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

a Prophet that is arising from Mecca, from

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

the children of Ibrahim ﷺ, and he blames

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

himself, he says, we denied Isa ﷺ, and

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

this is a Prophet who affirms Isa ﷺ,

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

who affirms Christ, who affirms all of the

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

Prophets, affirms the Torah and the Injil, and

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

who calls to the way of Ibrahim ﷺ.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

So he gets that indication from there, and

00:10:36 --> 00:10:40

he goes to a priest, someone who's scholarly

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

in Christianity, he has a conversation with him,

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

and this priest basically admits to him that

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

we have lost our connection to Christ.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

We are not practicing the religion of Christ

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

the way that Christ Jesus ﷺ used to

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

practice his own religion, and indeed it is

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

time for a Prophet that would come and

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

that would bring this all together, basically put

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

this puzzle back together, as the people of

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

the book are now scattered, and they are

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

feeling the fracturing along political lines, along theological

00:11:07 --> 00:11:11

lines, with the Roman Empire now outlawing different

00:11:11 --> 00:11:17

forms of Christianity, the Persians practicing Christianity differently,

00:11:17 --> 00:11:18

and so on and so forth.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

So both the Rabbi and the priest indicate

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

to him that there is something along these

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

lines, that there is a Prophet that is

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

due to put this all back together, right,

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

so it's lining up to what he's hearing

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

about, the people of Mecca.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

Then he says, and there are some people

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

from my village, and he's around the area

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

of Al-Khalil, Hebron, may Allah ﷻ liberate

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

it, Allahumma ameen, so subhanAllah we're literally in

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

the backyard of Ibrahim ﷺ.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

He said there were some people, and they

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

would go, and they would go to some

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

of the abandoned valleys, and they would pray

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

to the jinn, they would encounter the jinn,

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

and they would pray to the jinn, like

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

to these spirits, right, so invoking ancestral spirits,

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

going to speak to the jinn, and he

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

said I was with them one day, and

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

a jinn arose, and he said stop seeking

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

refuge in us, he was a righteous jinn

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

who had embraced Islam, and he said stop

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

seeking refuge in us, instead seek refuge in

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

Allah ﷻ, and verily your Lord has sent

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

a message and a messenger that has completely

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

changed the akhbar, has changed the news of

00:12:22 --> 00:12:22

the heavens and the earth.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:27

So everything is aligning for him in his

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

own home about this coming of a Prophet

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

ﷺ.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36

So he makes his way in the year

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

of al-Wufud, he makes his way to

00:12:38 --> 00:12:42

the Prophet ﷺ, and he arrives in al

00:12:42 --> 00:12:46

-Madinah al-Munawwarah with ten men, amongst them

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

is his brother, also a great companion, Abu

00:12:48 --> 00:12:52

Hind al-Dari ﷺ, Abu Hind al-Dari

00:12:52 --> 00:12:56

ﷺ, and this is where this famous encounter

00:12:56 --> 00:13:01

plays out, because on his way to arriving

00:13:01 --> 00:13:06

at the Prophet ﷺ, he undergoes one of

00:13:06 --> 00:13:12

the, you know, most spectacular experiences that a

00:13:12 --> 00:13:13

person can undergo.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

When he comes to the Prophet ﷺ and

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

he tells the Prophet ﷺ what happened to

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

him along the way, and so I take

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

it from there, take it from there, because

00:13:21 --> 00:13:24

this is the most famous hadith of Tamim

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

al-Dari ﷺ, it is in Sahih Muslim,

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

from Fatima bint Qais ﷺ.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

She says, سَمِعْتُ مُنَادِيَ that I heard the

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

caller of the Prophet ﷺ يُنَادِي أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

جَامِعَةَ come to the prayer, come to the

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

prayer, outside of the time of prayer, that

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

there is a caller that tells everyone to

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44

come to the masjid now.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:49

And so we came, and the Prophet ﷺ

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

prayed with them, and then the Prophet ﷺ

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ The Prophet ﷺ

00:13:55 --> 00:13:59

sat on the minbar, and he was laughing,

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

now the laughter of the Prophet ﷺ was

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

what?

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

A really big smile.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

A smile that was bigger than his typical

00:14:05 --> 00:14:05

smile.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

It wasn't with any noise ﷺ, but he

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

looked happy ﷺ.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:15

And he sat on the minbar ﷺ, and

00:14:15 --> 00:14:19

he said, لِيَزَّمَ كُلُّ إِنسَانٍ مُصَلَّاةً Let everyone

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

sit in the place that they prayed.

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

No one get up from your place of

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

prayer.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

So subhanAllah last week, Jareed walks in from

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

Yemen, and everyone sit in your place, and

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

the Prophet ﷺ talked about who this man

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

was that was going to walk into the

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

masjid, and the Prophet ﷺ described him before

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

he even entered in such a beautiful way.

00:14:36 --> 00:14:40

This time, the Prophet ﷺ says, I want

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

to tell you about what this man who

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

just came, and Allah ﷻ is sending to

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

the Prophet ﷺ people from around the world,

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

this man who just came, encountered.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

So he said, هَلْ تَدْرُونَ لِمَا جَمَعْتُكُم Do

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

you know why I have gathered you?

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

And we said, Allah and His Messenger know

00:14:56 --> 00:14:56

best.

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

And he said, إِنِّي مَا جَمَعْتُكُم لِرَهْبَةٍ وَلَا

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

رَغْبَةٍ So, I did not gather you because

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

of any type of fear or any type

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

of particular news, like this wasn't some sort

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

of incident, right, it's not like war has

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

been declared or I have something to share

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

with you in that regard.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

He said, but I gathered you because this

00:15:16 --> 00:15:20

man, Tamim al-Dari, كان رجل نصراني That

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

this man, Tamim al-Dari, is a Christian

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

man, فَجَاءَ فَبَايَعَ وَأَسْلَمَ He came and he

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

took his pledge and he became Muslim.

00:15:28 --> 00:15:33

But he said, وَحَدَّثَنِي حَدِيثًا وَافَقَ الَّذِي حَدَّثْكُمْ

00:15:33 --> 00:15:38

عَنِ الدَّجَّابِ He shared with me some words

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

or he shared with me a story that

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

coincides with or corroborates what I have told

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

you about a Dajjal.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

So this Christian man has come from afar

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

and he shared with me what it is

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

that happened to him that confirms or agrees

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

with, because the Prophet ﷺ saying it is

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

enough, but the Prophet ﷺ is saying this,

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

look, so that your iman can be strengthened,

00:16:02 --> 00:16:06

that agrees with what the Prophet ﷺ had

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

spoken to them about a Dajjal.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

So what is the story?

00:16:12 --> 00:16:17

Tamim radiyallahu ta'ala anhu mentions, أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ

00:16:17 --> 00:16:22

فِي سَفِينَةٍ بَحْرِيَّةٍ مَعَ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجْرًا مِنْ لَخْمٍ

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

وَجُذَامٍ He said that I was riding on

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

a boat and he was a traveler and

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

he was familiar with the seas.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

He said I was on a boat in

00:16:29 --> 00:16:33

the seas with 30 men from my tribe,

00:16:34 --> 00:16:38

فَلَعِبَ بِهِمْ الْمَوْجِ شَهْرًا فِي الْبَحْرِ And the

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

waves played with them, I mean moved them

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

around for a month in the seas.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:47

So basically they encountered stormy weather and in

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

the process of that, subhanAllah, they ended up

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

getting completely lost.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:53

Now by the way, side note, one of

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

the interesting things of the sharh of this

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

hadith is that if you start to identify

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

like people that were trying to escape from

00:16:59 --> 00:17:02

the Prophet ﷺ or people that were trying

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

to come to the Prophet ﷺ in this

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

time, there's a lot of stormy weather that

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

happens around that area.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

Like go back to the story of Ikramah

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

رضي الله تعالى عنه, the boat plays around

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

with them and the caller says like we're

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16

gonna drown and then he calls out to

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17

Allah سبحانه وتعالى.

00:17:17 --> 00:17:19

So there is something happening.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:21

Some of the scholars of hadith say that

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

there's something happening, subhanAllah, as the Prophet ﷺ

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

now is absorbing, like Allah عز و جل

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

is directing all of the ships towards him

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

ﷺ كأنه as he is directing their hearts

00:17:31 --> 00:17:32

towards him ﷺ.

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

So Tamim رضي الله تعالى عنه says, so

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

30 of us, we literally were in this,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

in the seas and the waves played around

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

with us and crashed against us and we

00:17:43 --> 00:17:47

ended up on this small strip, this tiny

00:17:47 --> 00:17:51

island that none of us actually recognized after

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

a month of being lost at sea.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

And he said that it was حين مغرب

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

الشمس, it was at the time of sunset

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

that day that we arrived at this land,

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

so we came out of our safina, we

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

came out of our boat and he mentions

00:18:05 --> 00:18:11

here فَلَقِيَتْهُمْ دَابَةٌ أَهْلَبُوا كَثِيرَةُ الشَّعْرِ That they

00:18:11 --> 00:18:14

were encountered by a beast that was extremely

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

hairy that they had never seen anything like

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

before.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:22

And they said وَيْلَكِ مَا أَنْتِي They said

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

to the beast, woe to you, what are

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

you?

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

And so the beast responds and says أَنَا

00:18:29 --> 00:18:33

جَسَّاسَةٌ إِنطَلِقُوا إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجْرِ فِي هَذَا الْدَيْرِ

00:18:33 --> 00:18:38

فَإِنَّهُ إِلَى خَبَرِكُمْ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ He says that the

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

beast said to us, I am Al-Jassasa,

00:18:41 --> 00:18:45

actually introduced itself as Al-Jassasa, which is

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

why this is called حديث Al-Jassasa, a

00:18:47 --> 00:18:51

beast, and it is a very particular beast

00:18:51 --> 00:18:56

that is extremely unique in how it looks.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

And it said, follow me and go to

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

this land or go to this area, and

00:19:01 --> 00:19:02

there was a دير which is like a

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

monastery, a temple, and there is a man

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

that is waiting for you there and he

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

is eager to hear your news.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:12

Now Tamim says that when the beast said

00:19:12 --> 00:19:17

that, that we immediately fled from the beast

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

because we thought it might be a شيطان,

00:19:19 --> 00:19:20

we thought it might be some sort of

00:19:20 --> 00:19:21

a devil or something like that.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:24

I mean, it was an incredibly unpleasant and

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

scary sight.

00:19:26 --> 00:19:29

قَالَ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الْدَيْرِ He said until we

00:19:29 --> 00:19:30

entered into that monastery.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:36

فَإِذَا فِيهِ أَعْظَمُ إِنسَانٍ رَأِيْنَاهُ قَتْ خَلْقًا وَأَشَدُهُ

00:19:36 --> 00:19:41

وَثَاقًا مَجْمُوعَةٌ يَدَاهُ إِلَىٰ عُنُقِهِ He said that

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

once we entered into it, we saw in

00:19:44 --> 00:19:49

it a man that was the largest human

00:19:49 --> 00:19:53

being that we had seen before, and he

00:19:53 --> 00:19:57

mentions that he had his hands tied to

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

his neck or chained to his neck, and

00:20:00 --> 00:20:04

he had iron rings or iron holds around

00:20:04 --> 00:20:07

his legs, so he was chained up.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

And this is now where this conversation takes

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

a turn, right?

00:20:12 --> 00:20:15

So he's shackled at the legs, shackled from

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

the hands to the neck, and we said

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

to him, woe to you, who are you?

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

And instead he responds and says, you tell

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

me who you are first.

00:20:23 --> 00:20:27

So Tamim says that we introduced ourselves, that

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

we are 30 people from Lacham, from Judam,

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

from these tribes in Palestine, and we were

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

at sea, and we had been lost at

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

sea because of the stormy weather for 30

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

days, for a month, and we ended up

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

in this place, and then as we came

00:20:42 --> 00:20:47

down from this place, we found this Jassa,

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

so we found this beast, and the beast

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

directed us towards you.

00:20:51 --> 00:20:55

So the man said, tell me about the

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

date palms of Bisan.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

Bisan, and subhanAllah, all of these areas, by

00:21:02 --> 00:21:06

the way, are now either immediately part of

00:21:06 --> 00:21:10

occupied Palestine, or they're somewhere on the border

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

of Jordan and Palestine, okay?

00:21:13 --> 00:21:16

So the trees of Bisan were date palm

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

trees, and so he said, why are you

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

asking about these trees?

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

It was a place where there was a

00:21:22 --> 00:21:24

popular, or there was an area where it

00:21:24 --> 00:21:25

was known to have dates.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:29

He said, do they still bear fruit?

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

Do they still bear their dates?

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

And we said, yeah, they still bear their

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

dates, they still produce a tamar.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:38

And he said, there will come a time

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

that they will no longer produce.

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

And then he says, and tell me about

00:21:43 --> 00:21:49

the Tiberias, the Bahira, or in Arabic it's

00:21:49 --> 00:21:53

Tabriya, Lake Galilee, which is northern occupied Palestine

00:21:53 --> 00:21:57

at the border of occupied Palestine and Jordan,

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

is this lake, right, Lake Galilee, or Tiberia.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

So they said, what do you want to

00:22:05 --> 00:22:05

know about it?

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

And he said, is there still water in

00:22:07 --> 00:22:07

it?

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

And we said, there's still plenty of water

00:22:10 --> 00:22:10

in it.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

He said, soon it will dry up.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

And subhanAllah, if you look at that lake,

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

Lake Galilee today, first of all, it's the

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

second lowest lake in the world, or the

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

second lowest body of water in the world,

00:22:22 --> 00:22:23

second only to what?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

Al-Bahra al-Mayyit, the Dead Sea.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:29

And it is the lowest freshwater body on

00:22:29 --> 00:22:32

earth, okay, the lowest freshwater body on earth,

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

and it is receding to a point of

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

almost not existing now.

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

If you just go look up the ecology

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

and you look up what is happening to

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

it now, it is receding almost to a

00:22:40 --> 00:22:44

point of no existence, and so this man

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

says to them that there will come a

00:22:46 --> 00:22:47

time that there will be no more water

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

in it, it's going to dry up.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

So he's asking him what about the signs

00:22:53 --> 00:22:53

of the Day of Judgment.

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

And subhanAllah, both, the area of Bisan, by

00:22:57 --> 00:23:00

the way, there are no longer date palm

00:23:00 --> 00:23:00

trees over there.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

So the dates no longer grow there.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

The water recedes.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

And then he says, and tell me about

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

al-Nabi al-Ummi, maada fa'ad?

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

Tell me about the illiterate prophet, what has

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

he done?

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

Now Tamim was familiar with the story of

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam at this point

00:23:19 --> 00:23:22

and intends to pursue the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

Wasallam at this point.

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

So he tells him, he says that he

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

left from Mecca and he settled in Yathrib.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:36

And the man asks him, are the Arabs

00:23:36 --> 00:23:36

fighting him?

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

Are they fighting him or are they embracing

00:23:38 --> 00:23:38

him?

00:23:39 --> 00:23:41

And we said they fought him.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

And he said, how does he deal with

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

them?

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

And so we told him that the Prophet

00:23:47 --> 00:23:52

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had overcome, or that he

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

had overcame the Arabs that were around him

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

and they followed him.

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

So at this point, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

Wasallam was granted victory over them because this

00:24:00 --> 00:24:01

is now at the end of the seerah

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

So they had some battles back and forth.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

And some of the narrations are longer than

00:24:07 --> 00:24:07

others, by the way.

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

So days of victory and days of defeat,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

which is the way that the Prophets are,

00:24:11 --> 00:24:11

right?

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

So you had Badr and you had Uhud

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

and you had Khandaq and you had, and

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

you had, and you had until Fatah Mecca,

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

until the conquest of Mecca.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

But ultimately that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:24:21 --> 00:24:24

had overcome his enemies and that the Arabs

00:24:24 --> 00:24:25

have followed him.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:29

And so the man says, did they follow

00:24:29 --> 00:24:29

him?

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

And we said, yes, they followed him.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

At this point now they believe in him.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

And the man said that it's in their

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

interest to follow him, affirming that it's in

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

their interest to follow the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

Wasallam.

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

So he said, now I will tell you

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

who I am.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

And he says, I am al-Masih al

00:24:49 --> 00:24:50

-Dajjal.

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

So he introduces himself to Tamim and this

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

group of men, I am al-Masih al

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

-Dajjal.

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

And he says, soon I will leave this

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

place.

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

And when I am free to leave this

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

place, I will travel the entirety of the

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

earth in 40 nights and 40 days.

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

And I will be permitted to reach every

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

single part of it except for At-Tayyibah.

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

Except for Madinah, Tayyibah and Mecca.

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

He said, every time I try to enter

00:25:15 --> 00:25:18

into them, I will be met by Mala

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

'ika, by angels that will be standing guard

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

with their swords and they will prevent me

00:25:23 --> 00:25:24

from entering into it.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:27

While that is being said, the Prophet Sallallahu

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

Alaihi Wasallam strikes his Manbar.

00:25:29 --> 00:25:32

And he says, Hathihi Tayyibah, Hathihi Tayyibah, Hathihi

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

Tayyibah.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

This right here is Tayyibah, this right here

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

is Tayyibah, this right here is Tayyibah.

00:25:38 --> 00:25:41

SubhanAllah, this hadith is, first of all, an

00:25:41 --> 00:25:45

incredible narration because it is the only one

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

where you have such a vivid description of

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

a Dajjal by a companion that Allah Subh

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la allowed to see

00:25:52 --> 00:25:52

Dajjal in this form.

00:25:52 --> 00:25:56

And it is a means of elevating the

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

Iman of the companions because a man is

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

coming from far away and the Prophet Sallallahu

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

Alaihi Wasallam had told them these signs of

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

the Day of Judgment and these descriptions of

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

a Dajjal before the man arrived and before

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam could say anything,

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

basically Tamim shared the story.

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

This Christian man that came with a delegation

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

and at that point he had ten people

00:26:14 --> 00:26:18

that were embracing Islam alongside him and the

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, after he says Hathihi

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

Tayyibah, this is Tayyibah.

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

And he said, does this not agree with

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

what I told you about a Dajjal and

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

he said, yes O Messenger of Allah, this

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

agrees with everything that you told us about

00:26:29 --> 00:26:29

a Dajjal.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

I'm going to say a few things here

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

and I'm not going to spend too much

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

time because I actually want to talk about

00:26:34 --> 00:26:36

Tamim al-Dari radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, you

00:26:36 --> 00:26:38

can find entire books written about Hadith al

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

-Jassasa and, you know, responses and rebuttals to

00:26:41 --> 00:26:44

the doubts that surround Hadith al-Jassasa.

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

I want to talk about the companion Tamim

00:26:46 --> 00:26:46

al-Dari.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

But I want to say a few things.

00:26:47 --> 00:26:51

It's very interesting, SubhanAllah, that the one Sahabi

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

that sees Dajjal in this form is the

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

Palestinian companion.

00:26:58 --> 00:27:02

And that is undoubtedly somewhat connected to the

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

Dajjala in that area and what will come

00:27:05 --> 00:27:07

out of that area of tyranny, of deception

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

and Dajjal himself.

00:27:10 --> 00:27:15

That somewhere around there that this vision of

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

Dajjal was captured.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

That's number one.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

Number two, if someone were to say, well,

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

how come we can't just find these people

00:27:22 --> 00:27:22

on Google Maps?

00:27:24 --> 00:27:25

Did they leave the island?

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

Did they go somewhere else?

00:27:27 --> 00:27:28

Has Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala restrained him

00:27:28 --> 00:27:29

in some place?

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

Did Tamim see him like in a dream?

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

Because maybe they, like Allah azawajal, allowed them

00:27:35 --> 00:27:37

to enter into a different, like, alim in

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

some port, you know, which is another discussion

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

altogether, like, did they see them in another

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

type of vision?

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

All of that is completely irrelevant for the

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

following reasons.

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

Number one, you're still finding uncontacted people today.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

I just want you to go to Google

00:27:50 --> 00:27:52

News, not Google Maps, and just search, making

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

contact with uncontacted people, and you'll see, subhanAllah,

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

every month almost, you'll find that there are

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

people that have never been contacted by the

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

rest of civilization.

00:28:00 --> 00:28:01

Or at least, it's not that they find

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

them that frequently, but there are news articles

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

about where such people might exist, and I

00:28:05 --> 00:28:08

don't remember where exactly, but not too long

00:28:08 --> 00:28:08

ago, right?

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

Where they were actually showing a people from

00:28:10 --> 00:28:12

satellite imagery that they had come across, human

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

beings that had never been in contact with

00:28:14 --> 00:28:15

any of human civilization before.

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

Put that on the side, the same thing

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

that I would say for Yajuj and Majuj,

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

and the same thing that I would say

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

for any of these types of ahadith, the

00:28:25 --> 00:28:28

genre of these ahadith, stay away from knowledge

00:28:28 --> 00:28:30

that doesn't benefit you, do not be one

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

of those people that waits around for something

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

to confirm something that's already there, and then

00:28:34 --> 00:28:35

to say, aha, see?

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

And then to express skepticism in the meantime.

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

Not a single companion of the Prophet ﷺ

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

said, well, let's go find the islands.

00:28:45 --> 00:28:48

And after this narration, as the sahaba spread

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

Islam throughout the world, none of them said,

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

let's go find that island that Tameem talked

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

to us about.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

They understood that this was a miracle that

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had exposed to

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

this particular companion, and that group of people,

00:29:00 --> 00:29:02

by the way, that were with him, that

00:29:02 --> 00:29:06

had seen and encountered this particular individual, right?

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

The last thing that I'll say here is

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

that some of the scholars say that when

00:29:10 --> 00:29:11

it comes to Ad-Dajjal in particular, and

00:29:11 --> 00:29:13

the forms of Ad-Dajjal, and what he

00:29:13 --> 00:29:17

appears as, realize that even the Prophet ﷺ

00:29:17 --> 00:29:22

was unsure about if Dajjal was a man

00:29:22 --> 00:29:25

by the name of Ibn Sayyad, who was

00:29:25 --> 00:29:29

also a satanic type of individual, right?

00:29:29 --> 00:29:32

That the sahaba had encountered, meaning if you

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

see people that have these types of qualities,

00:29:34 --> 00:29:38

there are many versions of Dajjal, right?

00:29:38 --> 00:29:41

Many deceivers, and people that dwell in that

00:29:41 --> 00:29:45

world of jinn and shayateen, and that dwell

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

in that world of sorcery and soothsaying, and

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for

00:29:49 --> 00:29:50

protection from them.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

So none of these narrations are meant to

00:29:53 --> 00:29:56

become scientific explorations for you, or for you

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

to hinge your iman, to hinge your faith

00:29:58 --> 00:29:58

on these things.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

But to simply take it at face value,

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

and to say Allah and His Messenger know

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

best, and to take it from the companions,

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

don't wait until like 2028 where they come

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

across an island maybe, and like we found

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

it, and then we found like some chains

00:30:10 --> 00:30:11

that were there, and then you start posting

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

this hadith and saying I believed it all

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

along, I believe it already, I don't need

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

any of these things to happen, because Allah

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

and His Messenger know best, and Allah azzawajal

00:30:19 --> 00:30:20

allows us to see what He wants us

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

to see at any point, and just like,

00:30:23 --> 00:30:24

and this is the last thing that I'll

00:30:24 --> 00:30:27

mention in this regard, just like there are

00:30:27 --> 00:30:30

creatures that exist around you that you can't

00:30:30 --> 00:30:31

see, right?

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

There are creatures that exist around you that

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

you can't see, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:30:36 --> 00:30:40

can peel back a layer of the dimension

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

of dunya around whoever He wants, whenever He

00:30:43 --> 00:30:43

wants.

00:30:44 --> 00:30:46

And the goal of the companions was to

00:30:46 --> 00:30:47

be so truthful with Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:30:47 --> 00:30:50

'ala that they worshipped Allah, the greatest of

00:30:50 --> 00:30:52

al-ghayb, as if they could see Him,

00:30:52 --> 00:30:55

even though they knew that they could not

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

see Him, however He could always see them.

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

So this is Tamim al-Dari entering into

00:31:00 --> 00:31:04

Medina, it's a grand entrance, Palestinian, Christian scholar,

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

traveller, merchant who comes to Medina and he

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

has a group of ten men, and all

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

of them had encountered the same thing, so

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

it's not like Tamim himself was the one

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

that encountered this, the whole group of men

00:31:15 --> 00:31:18

that were on this journey encountered this particular

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

vision of al-Dajjal.

00:31:21 --> 00:31:25

Now you move on, Tamim brought a certain

00:31:25 --> 00:31:30

level of confirmation, a certain level of affirmation

00:31:31 --> 00:31:35

to the hadith about al-Masih al-Dajjal

00:31:35 --> 00:31:35

to the companions.

00:31:36 --> 00:31:39

He loves the Prophet ﷺ already because he

00:31:39 --> 00:31:41

recognises the Prophet ﷺ from a different light,

00:31:42 --> 00:31:43

not as a political power, but as a

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

prophet that he has read and heard about

00:31:45 --> 00:31:45

from the scriptures.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

So what does he do?

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

First of all he has gifts, he and

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

his delegation have gifts for the Prophet ﷺ,

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

amongst the gifts he brought a really nice

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

horse for the Prophet ﷺ, an Arabian horse,

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

he brought a nice cloak for the Prophet

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

ﷺ, and he brought a bottle of wine

00:32:02 --> 00:32:03

for the Prophet ﷺ.

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

So he didn't know that khamr was haram,

00:32:08 --> 00:32:11

because the people of the book had made

00:32:11 --> 00:32:14

khamr halal, they were drinking alcohol, so he

00:32:14 --> 00:32:16

did not know khamr was haram, so he

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

brings a bottle of wine for the Prophet

00:32:18 --> 00:32:21

ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ does not take the

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

bottle of wine and break it over his

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

head, the Prophet ﷺ simply makes it known

00:32:24 --> 00:32:28

that in our religion this is prohibited, khamr

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

is prohibited, and uses it as a point

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

of education.

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

He also had with him, so he had

00:32:34 --> 00:32:39

his delegation that had come to embrace Islam

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

alongside him, he also had with him five

00:32:42 --> 00:32:49

slaves, five slaves, and the Prophet ﷺ said,

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

I want to set these five free, I

00:32:52 --> 00:32:54

want to free these five men from captivity.

00:32:55 --> 00:32:58

And Tamim immediately recognises that, he says, Ya

00:32:58 --> 00:33:01

Rasulullah, if you want to free them, ajlillah,

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

for the sake of Allah ﷻ, then I

00:33:03 --> 00:33:04

will free them for the sake of Allah

00:33:04 --> 00:33:05

ﷻ, we don't have to go through that

00:33:05 --> 00:33:08

process, I set them free for the sake

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

of Allah ﷻ.

00:33:09 --> 00:33:11

So he frees the five slaves that were

00:33:11 --> 00:33:13

with him, his men that are with him

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

embrace Islam, he brings his gifts to the

00:33:15 --> 00:33:20

Prophet ﷺ, but the most amazing gift that

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

he brings to the masjid of the Prophet

00:33:22 --> 00:33:24

ﷺ is what, does anybody know?

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

It's actually incredibly beautiful.

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

Okay, I'm going to give you a little

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

bit of trivia here.

00:33:31 --> 00:33:34

There's a famous narration, and while not a

00:33:34 --> 00:33:37

singular sanad is confirmed, but there are multiple

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

narrations along this regard, and obviously it's a

00:33:39 --> 00:33:42

part of our tradition, that the Prophet ﷺ

00:33:42 --> 00:33:45

said that if you can go to Jerusalem,

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

go to al-Quds and pray two rak

00:33:47 --> 00:33:48

'ahs, and if you are unable to go

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

and pray two rak'ahs there, what did

00:33:50 --> 00:33:51

the Prophet ﷺ say you should do?

00:33:53 --> 00:33:57

Faba'tu bi zaytin, right, to send some oil

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

that could, yusraju, that could light up the

00:34:00 --> 00:34:03

lamps, right, to send some oil to light

00:34:03 --> 00:34:06

up the lamps of al-Bayt al-Maqdis,

00:34:06 --> 00:34:07

okay.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

One of the things that Tamim knows is

00:34:12 --> 00:34:14

a zayt, Palestine is a land that is

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

rich with a zayt, that is rich with

00:34:16 --> 00:34:16

oil.

00:34:17 --> 00:34:19

And Tamim was the first one, as Abu

00:34:19 --> 00:34:22

Sa'id al-Khudri ﷺ says, awwalu man

00:34:22 --> 00:34:26

asraja fil masajidi tamimun al-dari, the first

00:34:26 --> 00:34:27

one to light oil lamps in the masajid

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

was Tamim al-Dari.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:33

Tamim basically brings all of these lights, oil

00:34:33 --> 00:34:35

lamps, to the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ,

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

and he beautifies the masjid of the Prophet

00:34:38 --> 00:34:42

ﷺ with this entire new system of oil

00:34:42 --> 00:34:43

lamps.

00:34:43 --> 00:34:45

And the Prophet ﷺ said, may Allah ﷻ

00:34:45 --> 00:34:47

grant you light on the Day of Judgment,

00:34:48 --> 00:34:49

as he brought light to the masjid of

00:34:49 --> 00:34:50

the Prophet ﷺ.

00:34:50 --> 00:34:53

So Tamim came with an immediate physical presence

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

where he knew how to take the oil

00:34:55 --> 00:34:57

that he had, and may Allah ﷻ give

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

us access to our zayt in our lands

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

in Palestine, Allahumma ameen, and to light up

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ, and the

00:35:03 --> 00:35:06

riwayat, the narrations will tell us, light up

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

the lamps of Masjid al-Aqsa.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

This man from Palestine was lighting up the

00:35:10 --> 00:35:13

lamps in the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ,

00:35:13 --> 00:35:16

and one of the freed slaves that came

00:35:16 --> 00:35:19

with him assumed the responsibility of keeping the

00:35:19 --> 00:35:20

oil in all of the lamps.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:25

And the Prophet ﷺ changed his name to

00:35:25 --> 00:35:26

Siraj.

00:35:26 --> 00:35:29

So you see Imam Siraj Wahaj, may Allah

00:35:29 --> 00:35:32

ﷻ bless him, right, Siraj, which of course

00:35:32 --> 00:35:33

refers to that light.

00:35:34 --> 00:35:36

The Prophet ﷺ named him Siraj, the man

00:35:36 --> 00:35:37

that would go, and that would, the freed

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

slave of Tamim that was in charge of

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

lighting up the lamps in the time of

00:35:41 --> 00:35:44

the Prophet ﷺ in his masjid.

00:35:45 --> 00:35:48

Beautiful narrations about Tamim ﷺ, because he will

00:35:48 --> 00:35:50

rise to become one of the most noble

00:35:50 --> 00:35:53

and righteous companions of the Prophet ﷺ in

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

a short period of time.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

Now realize, a lot of these people simply

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

went back to their towns, or they embraced

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

it and they took the political leadership with

00:36:01 --> 00:36:04

it, or the connotations, or they just became

00:36:04 --> 00:36:06

average Muslims in their wafud.

00:36:06 --> 00:36:09

He stays in Medina and he quickly devotes

00:36:09 --> 00:36:11

himself to the Prophet ﷺ in an extraordinary

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

way.

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

So there are multiple ahadith.

00:36:13 --> 00:36:16

One of them, it's a beautiful one, he

00:36:16 --> 00:36:20

said to the Prophet ﷺ that what is

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

mas sunnatu fil rajuli min ahlil kitab?

00:36:23 --> 00:36:25

Yuslimu ala yadai rajul.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:30

He said that what is the sunnah concerning

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

a man from ahlil kitab who becomes Muslim

00:36:32 --> 00:36:34

ala yadai rajul, on the hands of someone

00:36:34 --> 00:36:34

else.

00:36:34 --> 00:36:37

So tell me about what it's like for

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

the one who gives da'wah to someone

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

from the people of the book.

00:36:40 --> 00:36:44

And the Prophet ﷺ said huwa awla al

00:36:44 --> 00:36:48

nasi bimahyahu wa mamatihi.

00:36:48 --> 00:36:50

He is the closest person to that man

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

in life and in death.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

That the favour that you do when you

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

give da'wah to someone, and here he

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

specifies the people of the book because Tamim

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

wants to call people of the book because

00:37:00 --> 00:37:01

he is from the people of the book,

00:37:02 --> 00:37:04

and a scholar of the Torah and the

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

Bible, he can speak a certain language that

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

can connect him to his people in Palestine,

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

but also someone that comes from a Jewish

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

or a Christian tradition, and the Prophet ﷺ

00:37:12 --> 00:37:14

says this will be the closest of all

00:37:14 --> 00:37:17

people to him in life and in death.

00:37:17 --> 00:37:21

Now subhanAllah there is one also narration, a

00:37:21 --> 00:37:24

little bit longer, that Tamim as a merchant,

00:37:26 --> 00:37:29

he did while he was travelling with someone,

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

this is a long narration from Ibn Abbas

00:37:30 --> 00:37:35

ﷺ, that as they were trading, buying and

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

selling, buying and selling, that there was a

00:37:36 --> 00:37:40

bull that came into their possession that was

00:37:40 --> 00:37:41

not supposed to come into their possession.

00:37:42 --> 00:37:44

So a bull of inheritance that came into

00:37:44 --> 00:37:46

their possession in the capacity of buying and

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

trading as Christians, that was not supposed to

00:37:49 --> 00:37:51

be in their buying and selling, and Tamim

00:37:51 --> 00:37:54

felt bad about it after he became Muslim,

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

and there were two people that testified to

00:37:56 --> 00:38:00

that bull belonging to its rightful owner in

00:38:00 --> 00:38:04

Mecca, and this is actually the basis for

00:38:04 --> 00:38:05

the verse in Surah Al-Ma'idah, which

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

is obviously one of the latest of the

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

verses, verse 106, يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا شَهَادَةُ

00:38:10 --> 00:38:14

بَيْنِكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ that O believers,

00:38:14 --> 00:38:17

when death approaches upon you, then call upon

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

you to just Muslim men to witness as

00:38:20 --> 00:38:23

you make your bequest, otherwise to non-Muslims,

00:38:23 --> 00:38:25

if you are afflicted with death on a

00:38:25 --> 00:38:27

journey, because it was two people that witnessed

00:38:27 --> 00:38:29

to that bull that testified to the Prophet

00:38:29 --> 00:38:32

ﷺ, and so the recourse happened about the

00:38:32 --> 00:38:34

bull after Tamim had become Muslim, just a

00:38:34 --> 00:38:36

side point about Tamim radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.

00:38:37 --> 00:38:39

But Tamim immediately assumes a position of charity,

00:38:39 --> 00:38:40

so we'll talk about some of his virtues

00:38:40 --> 00:38:42

and his charity.

00:38:42 --> 00:38:45

He narrates the hadith from the Prophet ﷺ,

00:38:45 --> 00:38:48

he says, سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ

00:38:48 --> 00:38:51

وَسَلَامًا يَقُولُ مَنْ اِرْطَبَتَ فَرَسًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

00:38:51 --> 00:38:55

ثُمَّ عَالَجَ عَلَفَهُ بِيَدِهِ كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَبَّةٍ

00:38:55 --> 00:38:58

حَسَنَةٌ that the Prophet ﷺ said that whoever

00:38:58 --> 00:39:00

ties a horse in the cause of Allah

00:39:00 --> 00:39:02

and then feeds it with his own hand,

00:39:02 --> 00:39:04

he will have a hasana for every grain

00:39:04 --> 00:39:06

that he feeds it with his own hand.

00:39:06 --> 00:39:09

And so he becomes known for his sadaqah,

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

he becomes known for his striving for the

00:39:11 --> 00:39:11

sake of Allah.

00:39:12 --> 00:39:14

Probably the most famous hadith that he ever

00:39:14 --> 00:39:16

narrated is the hadith in Arba'een an

00:39:16 --> 00:39:20

-Nawwi which is the hadith from Tamim ﷺ

00:39:20 --> 00:39:22

where he says that the Prophet ﷺ said,

00:39:22 --> 00:39:26

الدين النصيحة, that the religion is sincerity.

00:39:26 --> 00:39:28

قُلْنَا لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ We said, to

00:39:28 --> 00:39:29

who, O Messenger of Allah?

00:39:29 --> 00:39:33

He said, لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

00:39:33 --> 00:39:37

وَعَامَتِهِمْ That to Allah, to his book, to

00:39:37 --> 00:39:40

his Messenger ﷺ, to the leaders of the

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

Muslims and to the common folk of the

00:39:42 --> 00:39:42

Muslims.

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

This is obviously one of the ahadith of

00:39:44 --> 00:39:46

Arba'een an-Nawwi of the 40 of

00:39:46 --> 00:39:48

Nawwi, so it is one of the most

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

famous ahadith in Islam by extension.

00:39:51 --> 00:39:54

He himself manifests this by gaining a reputation

00:39:54 --> 00:39:57

of always being there for the people.

00:39:57 --> 00:40:00

So he assumes a reputation of sadaqah, he

00:40:00 --> 00:40:04

assumes a reputation of scholarship, he's the helpful

00:40:04 --> 00:40:07

man in the community, right, stringing together lamps

00:40:07 --> 00:40:09

in the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ, assisting

00:40:09 --> 00:40:11

with some of the new converts to Islam,

00:40:12 --> 00:40:14

representing the Prophet ﷺ to certain delegations because

00:40:14 --> 00:40:19

of his thoroughness and his scholarship, and his

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

quick devotion to the Qur'an.

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

Some of the scholars say that the quickest

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

man to ever memorize the Qur'an, to

00:40:26 --> 00:40:29

become a hafidh was Tamim ﷺ, and they

00:40:29 --> 00:40:32

cite that for many different reasons.

00:40:32 --> 00:40:33

He is one of the hufadh of the

00:40:33 --> 00:40:35

Qur'an, he's one of those who memorized

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

the Qur'an even though he only caught

00:40:36 --> 00:40:38

the Prophet ﷺ in his last year.

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

And he became such a thorough scholar of

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

the Qur'an that he became an imam

00:40:43 --> 00:40:45

of the companions who had been Muslim from

00:40:45 --> 00:40:45

the very start.

00:40:47 --> 00:40:50

So he understands the Qur'an, and obviously

00:40:50 --> 00:40:53

his previous scholarship helps him understand the Qur

00:40:53 --> 00:40:55

'an in the most thorough way, and he

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

becomes a beautiful reciter of the Qur'an,

00:40:57 --> 00:41:00

and a devoted worshipper with the Qur'an.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:03

And of his students and narrators of hadith,

00:41:04 --> 00:41:06

were Abdullah ibn Abbas, Anas ibn Malik, and

00:41:06 --> 00:41:08

some of the greatest of the companions, may

00:41:08 --> 00:41:10

Allah ﷻ be pleased with them all.

00:41:11 --> 00:41:12

I'm going to get back to the Qur

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

'an and the qiyam in a little bit,

00:41:13 --> 00:41:14

inshaAllah ta'ala, but I just want you

00:41:14 --> 00:41:15

to keep that in mind to get the

00:41:15 --> 00:41:16

initial profile.

00:41:16 --> 00:41:19

So a hafidh, a scholar, who brings his

00:41:19 --> 00:41:22

previous scholarship, likes the man al-Farisi ﷺ,

00:41:22 --> 00:41:25

and assumes a certain position in Islam.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:29

Of the most beautiful things that's narrated about

00:41:29 --> 00:41:31

him in this regard, of the role that

00:41:31 --> 00:41:33

he assumes in the community quickly, that helpful

00:41:33 --> 00:41:36

man, that scholarly man, that man of the

00:41:36 --> 00:41:39

Qur'an, was that the Prophet ﷺ said

00:41:39 --> 00:41:41

to him, that if I had a daughter

00:41:41 --> 00:41:43

that was not married, I would have married

00:41:43 --> 00:41:44

her to you.

00:41:44 --> 00:41:48

I mean that's the highest testimony you get

00:41:48 --> 00:41:48

of character.

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

Nauf ibn al-Harith ibn Abdul-Muttalib, the

00:41:51 --> 00:41:53

cousin of the Prophet ﷺ, remember Abu Sufyan

00:41:54 --> 00:41:56

ibn al-Harith ibn Abdul-Muttalib, the cousin

00:41:56 --> 00:41:58

of the Prophet ﷺ, Nauf, he heard the

00:41:58 --> 00:41:59

Prophet ﷺ say that, and he said, well

00:41:59 --> 00:42:02

I have a daughter, and I'm your cousin.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

So he actually goes and he proposes on

00:42:05 --> 00:42:08

behalf of Tamim to his daughter, and she

00:42:08 --> 00:42:11

marries Tamim al-Dari رضي الله تعالى عنه,

00:42:11 --> 00:42:13

it's also narrated that later on that Abu

00:42:13 --> 00:42:15

Bakr رضي الله تعالى عنه الصديق, had a

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

sister that he married to Tamim رضي الله

00:42:17 --> 00:42:19

تعالى عنه, on the basis of the Prophet

00:42:19 --> 00:42:21

ﷺ saying to a man, if I had

00:42:21 --> 00:42:23

a daughter that was not married, I would

00:42:23 --> 00:42:24

have married her to you.

00:42:24 --> 00:42:27

That's how noble this beautiful companion is, that

00:42:27 --> 00:42:29

comes into the life of the Muslims very

00:42:29 --> 00:42:32

late in the time of the Prophet ﷺ

00:42:32 --> 00:42:33

becomes.

00:42:34 --> 00:42:36

And subhanAllah he didn't live long with the

00:42:36 --> 00:42:37

Prophet ﷺ but his rank was well known,

00:42:38 --> 00:42:39

similar to Jarir رضي الله تعالى عنه.

00:42:39 --> 00:42:42

And Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه recognized that

00:42:42 --> 00:42:44

rank as he did with Jarir ibn Abdullah,

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

and so there are multiple stories with Umar

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

in this regard.

00:42:48 --> 00:42:49

One of them is that when someone was

00:42:49 --> 00:42:54

to convert or repent, Tamim was the person

00:42:54 --> 00:42:57

who would bring them to the masjid and

00:42:57 --> 00:42:59

would teach them how to pray, and sit

00:42:59 --> 00:43:00

with them and make them thorough in their

00:43:00 --> 00:43:00

Islam.

00:43:01 --> 00:43:02

And so there is a story of a

00:43:02 --> 00:43:05

man by the name of Muawiyah ibn Harmal,

00:43:05 --> 00:43:06

Muawiyah ibn Harmal.

00:43:08 --> 00:43:10

And Muawiyah, this Muawiyah, not Muawiyah ibn Abi

00:43:10 --> 00:43:14

Sufyan, this Muawiyah became a follower of Musaylim

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

al-Kaddhab, so he was a Muslim that

00:43:16 --> 00:43:18

apostated, and then he repented.

00:43:19 --> 00:43:21

And he became very, like he was very

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

involved in the fitna and then he repented.

00:43:23 --> 00:43:24

So when he came to Umar ibn al

00:43:24 --> 00:43:27

-Khattab رضي الله تعالى عنه to repent for

00:43:27 --> 00:43:28

that time that he spent with Musaylim al

00:43:28 --> 00:43:31

-Kaddhab, Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه said to

00:43:31 --> 00:43:34

him, اذهب إلى خير المؤمنين, go to the

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

best of the believers, and he sent him

00:43:35 --> 00:43:38

to Tamim رضي الله تعالى عنه and Tamim

00:43:38 --> 00:43:40

took him to the masjid and enjoined him

00:43:40 --> 00:43:42

in salah and enjoined him in sadaqah once

00:43:42 --> 00:43:43

again, basically got him right.

00:43:44 --> 00:43:45

And there is a longer story that goes

00:43:45 --> 00:43:46

on from there as well.

00:43:47 --> 00:43:48

But the point is that Tamim رضي الله

00:43:48 --> 00:43:50

تعالى عنه is being called that by Umar

00:43:50 --> 00:43:52

رضي الله تعالى عنه, like go to the

00:43:52 --> 00:43:55

best of the believers, he'll get you started,

00:43:55 --> 00:43:57

he'll get you settled in your Islam.

00:43:58 --> 00:44:00

So what makes him so special in terms

00:44:00 --> 00:44:00

of his devotion?

00:44:01 --> 00:44:04

Tamim رضي الله تعالى عنه absolutely fell in

00:44:04 --> 00:44:07

love with the Qur'an, absolutely fell in

00:44:07 --> 00:44:08

love with his Qiyam al-Layl.

00:44:09 --> 00:44:12

And so his, the first narration about him

00:44:12 --> 00:44:14

by Abi al-Muhallab, he says كَانَ تَمِيمٌ

00:44:14 --> 00:44:17

يَخْتِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي سَبْعٍ that Tamim رضي الله

00:44:17 --> 00:44:19

تعالى عنه was known to complete the Qur

00:44:19 --> 00:44:22

'an in its daily recitation every seven days,

00:44:22 --> 00:44:22

every week.

00:44:23 --> 00:44:26

But Ibn Sirin says about Tamim أن تَمِيمَنَ

00:44:26 --> 00:44:31

الدَّارِي كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي رَكَعَةٍ that Tamim

00:44:31 --> 00:44:33

is one of those people who finished the

00:44:33 --> 00:44:34

entire recitation of the Qur'an in a

00:44:34 --> 00:44:38

single raka'a, that his Qiyam was distinguished,

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41

that the man would stand up and he

00:44:41 --> 00:44:44

would pray all night long with the Qur

00:44:44 --> 00:44:44

'an.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

Masrook ibn al-Ajda' he says قَالَ لِي

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

رَجْلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةٍ that a man said

00:44:49 --> 00:44:52

to me from Ahlul Makkah, that he said

00:44:52 --> 00:44:55

that هَذَا مَقَامُ أَخِيكَ تَمِيمَ الدَّارِي he said

00:44:55 --> 00:44:59

this is the place of your brother Tamim

00:44:59 --> 00:45:01

al-Dari where he used to pray at

00:45:01 --> 00:45:01

night.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:04

And he said I would hear him praying

00:45:04 --> 00:45:07

all night long and he would read one

00:45:07 --> 00:45:09

ayah at times and he would cry the

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

entire night reciting that one ayah of the

00:45:11 --> 00:45:11

Qur'an.

00:45:12 --> 00:45:14

And he said and I remember him reciting

00:45:14 --> 00:45:17

the ayah from Surat al-Jafiyah أَمْ حَسِبَ

00:45:17 --> 00:45:21

الَّذِينَ اَسْتَرَحُوا السَيِّئَاتِ أَنَّ جَعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا

00:45:21 --> 00:45:24

وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ Do those who commit evil deeds

00:45:24 --> 00:45:26

think that we will make them like those

00:45:26 --> 00:45:27

who believe and who do good deeds?

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

So he did that all night long reading

00:45:30 --> 00:45:34

that one ayah and crying with the Qur

00:45:34 --> 00:45:34

'an.

00:45:35 --> 00:45:38

Now subhanAllah in this process of his being

00:45:38 --> 00:45:41

distinguished by Qur'an, one of the Tabi

00:45:41 --> 00:45:44

'een comes up to him and this is

00:45:44 --> 00:45:46

such an instructive moment.

00:45:47 --> 00:45:49

He comes up to Tamim al-Dari and

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51

he says كَمْ جَزْءُكَ how much do you

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

read at night?

00:45:52 --> 00:45:53

How much Qur'an do you read at

00:45:53 --> 00:45:54

night?

00:45:54 --> 00:45:59

So Tamim responds to him with anger and

00:45:59 --> 00:46:03

he says لَعَلَّكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ

00:46:03 --> 00:46:07

ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ قَرَأْتُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي هَذِهِ

00:46:07 --> 00:46:12

الْلَيْلَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَنْ أُصَلِّي ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتِ

00:46:12 --> 00:46:15

النَّافِلَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي

00:46:15 --> 00:46:19

لَيْلَ ثُ مَا أُصْبِحُ فَأُخْبِرَ بِهِ He said,

00:46:19 --> 00:46:21

it seems to me like you're one of

00:46:21 --> 00:46:23

those people who reads the Quran at night

00:46:23 --> 00:46:24

and then you wake up in the daytime

00:46:24 --> 00:46:26

and you tell people, I read this much

00:46:26 --> 00:46:27

Quran at night, I read this much Quran

00:46:27 --> 00:46:27

at night.

00:46:28 --> 00:46:28

It seems to me you're one of those

00:46:28 --> 00:46:30

people who goes out there and tells people

00:46:30 --> 00:46:31

what you read at night.

00:46:31 --> 00:46:33

And he said, Wallahi, I would rather just

00:46:33 --> 00:46:37

pray witr, three rak'ahs of witr, and

00:46:37 --> 00:46:39

not tell anyone that I prayed those three

00:46:39 --> 00:46:41

rak'ahs of witr last night than read

00:46:41 --> 00:46:44

the entire Quran at night and then wake

00:46:44 --> 00:46:45

up in the morning and tell people how

00:46:45 --> 00:46:46

much Quran I read.

00:46:47 --> 00:46:48

Think about that.

00:46:49 --> 00:46:50

Hide your qiyam.

00:46:51 --> 00:46:52

Someone asks you, how was last night?

00:46:53 --> 00:46:54

Alhamdulillah, I had the greatest night of tahajjud

00:46:54 --> 00:46:54

ever.

00:46:56 --> 00:46:57

Why is your back like that?

00:46:57 --> 00:47:02

Man, like eight rak'ahs, two hours, felt

00:47:02 --> 00:47:03

like Ramadan last night.

00:47:03 --> 00:47:04

Keep it to yourself.

00:47:05 --> 00:47:06

Hide your qiyam.

00:47:06 --> 00:47:07

Hide your tahajjud.

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

We have a tradition where the Salaf would

00:47:09 --> 00:47:10

hide it from their spouses.

00:47:11 --> 00:47:13

Tamim is saying, I'm not interested in playing

00:47:13 --> 00:47:15

this game and telling you how much Quran

00:47:15 --> 00:47:16

I read at night or how much qiyam

00:47:16 --> 00:47:17

I prayed last night.

00:47:17 --> 00:47:19

He said, I'd rather just pray witr and

00:47:19 --> 00:47:21

not tell anybody, right, than read the whole

00:47:21 --> 00:47:22

Quran at night.

00:47:22 --> 00:47:24

And subhanAllah, with that Allah made him famous

00:47:24 --> 00:47:26

for his qiyam, for the people next door

00:47:26 --> 00:47:28

to him and what he was renowned for.

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

So anyway, it's a longer narration.

00:47:31 --> 00:47:33

But this man says to him, the sahabi

00:47:33 --> 00:47:34

was upset.

00:47:35 --> 00:47:37

And he says to him, you know, some

00:47:37 --> 00:47:41

of you sahaba are so impatient with us

00:47:41 --> 00:47:43

when you teach us that you should either

00:47:43 --> 00:47:45

be quiet or you should leave off teaching.

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

Right, like, why did you have to scold

00:47:48 --> 00:47:49

me like that?

00:47:49 --> 00:47:50

I just asked you how much Quran you

00:47:50 --> 00:47:50

read at night.

00:47:50 --> 00:47:51

Why did you have to scold me that

00:47:51 --> 00:47:51

night?

00:47:52 --> 00:47:55

So when Tamim, a daddy radiAllahu ta'ala

00:47:55 --> 00:47:58

anhu, saw him upset, Tamim radiAllahu anhu felt

00:47:58 --> 00:47:58

bad.

00:47:59 --> 00:48:01

So Tamim radiAllahu ta'ala anhu says, أَلَا

00:48:01 --> 00:48:04

أُحَدِّثُكَ يَبْنَأَخِي He said, let me speak to

00:48:04 --> 00:48:04

you, O my nephew.

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

Let me explain to you, O my nephew.

00:48:06 --> 00:48:10

He said, أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كُنْتُ أَنَا مُؤْمِنًا قَوِيًّا

00:48:10 --> 00:48:11

What if I am this great mu'min?

00:48:11 --> 00:48:13

What if I told you I pray a

00:48:13 --> 00:48:13

lot?

00:48:13 --> 00:48:15

وَأَنْتَ مُؤْمِنٌ ضَعِيفٌ And you're a weak believer.

00:48:16 --> 00:48:18

And then you would feel despair.

00:48:19 --> 00:48:20

Because I tell you I read this much

00:48:20 --> 00:48:21

and then you can't read that much and

00:48:21 --> 00:48:22

then you would feel despair.

00:48:23 --> 00:48:24

And he said, what if the opposite is

00:48:24 --> 00:48:24

true?

00:48:25 --> 00:48:27

Where I read very little and then you'd

00:48:27 --> 00:48:27

be disappointed.

00:48:28 --> 00:48:30

You'd say, oh, the sahaba of the Prophet

00:48:30 --> 00:48:31

ﷺ, they don't read enough.

00:48:31 --> 00:48:32

So he said, what's the benefit in me

00:48:32 --> 00:48:34

telling you how much Quran I read at

00:48:34 --> 00:48:34

night?

00:48:34 --> 00:48:35

So he said, I'm not trying to shame

00:48:35 --> 00:48:37

you, but I just want you to understand

00:48:37 --> 00:48:40

this is something personal between a person and

00:48:40 --> 00:48:40

Allah ﷻ.

00:48:41 --> 00:48:44

Now with that, subhanAllah, what's narrated from his

00:48:44 --> 00:48:47

children, and this is incredible.

00:48:47 --> 00:48:49

أَنَّ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِي And this is a Zahabi,

00:48:49 --> 00:48:51

rahimAllah, records this as well as the other

00:48:51 --> 00:48:52

Ibn Hibban.

00:48:53 --> 00:48:56

He says that one night he slept without

00:48:56 --> 00:48:56

praying tahajjud.

00:48:57 --> 00:48:59

So he missed his wurd at night.

00:49:00 --> 00:49:05

فَقَامَ سَنَةً لَمْ يَنَمْ فِيهَا عِقُوبَةً لِلَّذِي صَنَعَةً

00:49:05 --> 00:49:07

So he spent an entire year, he took

00:49:07 --> 00:49:09

an oath on himself that I will not

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

miss a single night in qiyam for an

00:49:11 --> 00:49:13

entire year as a punishment for missing that

00:49:13 --> 00:49:14

one night.

00:49:14 --> 00:49:16

And this is one of the narrations that's

00:49:16 --> 00:49:19

used to suggest that it's permissible and sometimes

00:49:19 --> 00:49:21

it's good to make an oath on yourself

00:49:21 --> 00:49:22

to say for example, let's say that you

00:49:22 --> 00:49:24

missed the sadaqah, you missed the salah, to

00:49:24 --> 00:49:27

say that I will, in replacement of it,

00:49:27 --> 00:49:28

multiply.

00:49:29 --> 00:49:32

عِقُوبَةً as a punishment for myself, punishment in

00:49:32 --> 00:49:33

the sense as a means of disciplining myself

00:49:33 --> 00:49:36

so that I don't fall back in that

00:49:36 --> 00:49:36

again.

00:49:36 --> 00:49:38

And so let's say for example, you missed

00:49:38 --> 00:49:39

the sunnah of fajr.

00:49:39 --> 00:49:41

So this time you won't just pray two

00:49:41 --> 00:49:43

rak'ahs at the time of dhuha, but

00:49:43 --> 00:49:45

you'll pray four or six or eight rak

00:49:45 --> 00:49:45

'ahs instead.

00:49:46 --> 00:49:46

Right?

00:49:46 --> 00:49:48

As a punishment for that.

00:49:49 --> 00:49:53

And in that regard, in his fame that

00:49:53 --> 00:49:56

was unintentional but acquired due to that, due

00:49:56 --> 00:49:58

to that righteousness, this was a man who

00:49:58 --> 00:50:00

assumed the position in the khilafah of Umar

00:50:00 --> 00:50:01

bin Khattab رضي الله تعالى عنه that was

00:50:01 --> 00:50:02

very special.

00:50:02 --> 00:50:03

And I'll wrap up insha'Allah ta'ala

00:50:03 --> 00:50:05

if the brothers can move forward to make

00:50:05 --> 00:50:06

space for those that have come in.

00:50:06 --> 00:50:07

Just those of you that are here, just

00:50:07 --> 00:50:09

move forward insha'Allah ta'ala without knocking

00:50:09 --> 00:50:10

over the camera please.

00:50:11 --> 00:50:12

If you were to walk in the masjid

00:50:13 --> 00:50:15

at the time of Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله

00:50:15 --> 00:50:18

تعالى عنه, Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه gave

00:50:18 --> 00:50:22

Tamim al-Dari the permission to teach on

00:50:22 --> 00:50:25

the minbar for hours before him or after

00:50:25 --> 00:50:27

him and at different times of the day.

00:50:27 --> 00:50:28

So he was a teacher in the masjid

00:50:28 --> 00:50:30

of the Prophet ﷺ in Medina in the

00:50:30 --> 00:50:31

time of Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه.

00:50:32 --> 00:50:34

On top of that, Umar رضي الله تعالى

00:50:34 --> 00:50:36

عنه allowed him to teach before the khutbah

00:50:36 --> 00:50:37

on Jum'ah.

00:50:37 --> 00:50:38

So it was common in the time of

00:50:38 --> 00:50:40

Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله عنه to walk in

00:50:40 --> 00:50:42

and to see Tamim relating some of the

00:50:42 --> 00:50:44

stories from the people of the book while

00:50:44 --> 00:50:48

doing his tafsir before the time of Salat

00:50:48 --> 00:50:49

al-Jum'ah would start.

00:50:49 --> 00:50:50

On top of that.

00:50:51 --> 00:50:53

If you were to walk in, Salat al

00:50:53 --> 00:50:54

-Tarawih in Ramadan.

00:50:54 --> 00:50:55

Allahumma ballighna Ramadan.

00:50:56 --> 00:50:56

Allahumma ameen.

00:50:57 --> 00:50:59

Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه had appointed two

00:50:59 --> 00:51:01

imams for Salat al-Tarawih.

00:51:02 --> 00:51:05

Ubay ibn Ka'b and Tamim al-Dari.

00:51:05 --> 00:51:06

May Allah be pleased with them both.

00:51:07 --> 00:51:08

So these are the two imams.

00:51:09 --> 00:51:10

If you were to walk in and pray

00:51:10 --> 00:51:12

Salat al-Tarawih in the time of Umar

00:51:12 --> 00:51:15

رضي الله تعالى عنه and that is his

00:51:15 --> 00:51:16

devotion of the Quran.

00:51:16 --> 00:51:18

And Anas ibn Malik رضي الله تعالى عنه

00:51:18 --> 00:51:19

says something so beautiful about him.

00:51:20 --> 00:51:23

He says about Tamim al-Dari, أَنَّهُ اشْتَرَى

00:51:23 --> 00:51:28

رِدَاءً بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمْ يَخْرُجُ فِيهِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ Tamim

00:51:28 --> 00:51:30

was not a fancy dresser.

00:51:30 --> 00:51:32

But he had a particular garment that he

00:51:32 --> 00:51:33

purchased for a thousand dirhams.

00:51:34 --> 00:51:35

It's a lot of money.

00:51:36 --> 00:51:38

And he wore it to every Salat.

00:51:38 --> 00:51:41

خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ So he wore

00:51:41 --> 00:51:44

this particular garment in accordance with what Allah

00:51:44 --> 00:51:46

says to take your beauty to the masjid.

00:51:46 --> 00:51:48

He wore this particular garment to the masjid

00:51:48 --> 00:51:48

for Salat.

00:51:48 --> 00:51:52

And then he had another garment, and this

00:51:52 --> 00:51:54

goes back to, subhanAllah, the Ramadan thing.

00:51:55 --> 00:51:57

He had another garment that he used to

00:51:57 --> 00:52:01

wear in the night التي تُرجَى فِيهَا لَيْلَةُ

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

القَدْرِ The night that he hoped was Laylatul

00:52:03 --> 00:52:03

Qadr.

00:52:04 --> 00:52:05

So he had this garment that he brought

00:52:05 --> 00:52:07

out once a year, this Imam in Tarawih,

00:52:08 --> 00:52:09

in the time of Sayyidina Umar رضي الله

00:52:09 --> 00:52:09

عنه.

00:52:10 --> 00:52:12

And if you saw Tamim wearing that garment,

00:52:12 --> 00:52:14

you were like, it must be it.

00:52:14 --> 00:52:16

If Tamim al-Dari thinks it's Laylatul Qadr,

00:52:16 --> 00:52:19

then hopefully it's Laylatul Qadr, right?

00:52:19 --> 00:52:21

So he had these two special garments in

00:52:21 --> 00:52:22

that regard.

00:52:22 --> 00:52:24

And I'll end inshaAllah ta'ala, I'll have

00:52:24 --> 00:52:25

to fast forward to the time of his

00:52:25 --> 00:52:25

death.

00:52:27 --> 00:52:29

Like Jarir رضي الله عنه, he left Medina

00:52:29 --> 00:52:30

during the fitna.

00:52:30 --> 00:52:32

So in the time of Uthman رضي الله

00:52:32 --> 00:52:35

عنه, once he saw the fitna started, he

00:52:35 --> 00:52:36

decided to go back to Palestine.

00:52:37 --> 00:52:39

Go back to Bilad al-Sham, go back

00:52:39 --> 00:52:40

to Palestine.

00:52:40 --> 00:52:43

At that time, the Futuhat, Islam had spread

00:52:43 --> 00:52:44

now to the area of Palestine.

00:52:44 --> 00:52:47

And there's something extremely special.

00:52:48 --> 00:52:52

Tamim رضي الله عنه, Ikramah narrates that when

00:52:52 --> 00:52:56

he became Muslim, he said, يا رسول الله,

00:52:57 --> 00:53:01

إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُظْهِرُكَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا فَهَبْ لِي

00:53:01 --> 00:53:05

قَرْيَةِ مِن بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ He said, O Messenger

00:53:05 --> 00:53:07

of Allah, Allah is going to grant you

00:53:07 --> 00:53:09

victory over the entire earth.

00:53:10 --> 00:53:14

So can you allot for me a portion

00:53:14 --> 00:53:17

of the land of Bethlehem from now?

00:53:18 --> 00:53:19

Think about it.

00:53:20 --> 00:53:21

Islam has not spread there yet.

00:53:22 --> 00:53:23

But he's saying, when Islam gets there, because

00:53:23 --> 00:53:26

I know it will, can you, ya Rasulullah,

00:53:26 --> 00:53:30

write me a document of a waqf of

00:53:30 --> 00:53:32

that land in Bethlehem for me and my

00:53:32 --> 00:53:32

family?

00:53:33 --> 00:53:37

And the Prophet ﷺ says, هي لك, it's

00:53:37 --> 00:53:37

for you.

00:53:38 --> 00:53:39

He allotted that land.

00:53:39 --> 00:53:41

And so when the time of Umar رضي

00:53:41 --> 00:53:43

الله عنه came, and that land came into

00:53:43 --> 00:53:47

Islam, Umar رضي الله عنه said, أنا شاهد

00:53:47 --> 00:53:48

ذلك.

00:53:49 --> 00:53:51

I am a witness to the Prophet ﷺ

00:53:51 --> 00:53:53

gifting you that area of Bethlehem.

00:53:54 --> 00:53:55

So he says, it is for you.

00:53:55 --> 00:53:57

He says ليس لك أن تبيع but you

00:53:57 --> 00:53:58

should not ever sell it.

00:53:59 --> 00:54:03

And so that land remains in the hands

00:54:03 --> 00:54:06

of the family of Tamim until now, the

00:54:06 --> 00:54:09

descendants of Tamim and Dari maintain that area

00:54:09 --> 00:54:11

as a waqf of Palestine, at least the

00:54:11 --> 00:54:13

parts of it that are not occupied.

00:54:13 --> 00:54:17

And subhanAllah, until this day, we find that

00:54:17 --> 00:54:20

there is the descendants of him are far

00:54:20 --> 00:54:21

and wide within the land of Palestine.

00:54:22 --> 00:54:23

And I want to just show one more

00:54:23 --> 00:54:26

picture بإذن الله تعالى, which is the grave

00:54:26 --> 00:54:28

of Tamim and Dari رضي الله عنه.

00:54:30 --> 00:54:32

And it's fitting that we end this season

00:54:32 --> 00:54:33

of the first with this.

00:54:34 --> 00:54:37

This is the neglected grave of Tamim and

00:54:37 --> 00:54:37

Dari.

00:54:37 --> 00:54:40

It exists in an Israeli settlement in Jibril

00:54:40 --> 00:54:41

in occupied Khalil.

00:54:43 --> 00:54:45

And so he died 40 years after hijrah.

00:54:46 --> 00:54:47

And this is his grave.

00:54:47 --> 00:54:48

And this is where he is.

00:54:49 --> 00:54:51

And there are Israeli settlers that live to

00:54:51 --> 00:54:53

every single direction of the current grave of

00:54:53 --> 00:54:55

Tamim and Dari رضي الله تعالى عنه.

00:54:55 --> 00:54:57

It's not the sanctity of the grave.

00:54:58 --> 00:54:59

It's the sanctity of the person and the

00:54:59 --> 00:55:00

message.

00:55:01 --> 00:55:03

That you never forget that this land was

00:55:03 --> 00:55:05

long occupied before a genocide in Gaza started.

00:55:06 --> 00:55:08

And this was our situation.

00:55:08 --> 00:55:09

And while the Imam al-Zahabi رضي الله

00:55:09 --> 00:55:11

عنه was writing this book, he was writing

00:55:11 --> 00:55:13

in glory about the land of Palestine and

00:55:13 --> 00:55:15

about the place of Tamim and the place

00:55:15 --> 00:55:15

of these people.

00:55:16 --> 00:55:18

And this is where we find ourselves right

00:55:18 --> 00:55:19

now.

00:55:19 --> 00:55:22

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى free the land beneath

00:55:22 --> 00:55:23

him and the land around him.

00:55:23 --> 00:55:25

And may Allah سبحانه وتعالى free al-Masjid

00:55:25 --> 00:55:27

al-Aqsa and free all of the occupied

00:55:27 --> 00:55:28

land and allow us to be gathered there

00:55:28 --> 00:55:29

in this life.

00:55:30 --> 00:55:32

And then to be gathered with these companions

00:55:32 --> 00:55:33

and with our beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه

00:55:33 --> 00:55:34

وسلم في الفردوس الأعلى.

00:55:35 --> 00:55:35

اللهم آمين.

00:55:36 --> 00:55:39

جزاكم الله خيرا والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.
