00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			So alhamdulillah, last week we spoke about someone
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			who was an important insert in the story
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			of assassins or attempted assassins of the Prophet
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			ﷺ and he is the only man who
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			you could call the assassin of the Prophet
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			ﷺ because the Prophet ﷺ dispatched him, of
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			course, to kill Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			after all of the difficulty that he caused
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			But as we said, the majority of those
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			that sought to assassinate the Prophet ﷺ, the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			Prophet ﷺ forgave them and they ended up
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			becoming Muslim.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Now, we talked about Muhammad ibn Maslam radiyallahu
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			anhu because he is important to the story
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			of the man that we are covering today.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			And subhanAllah, the man that we're covering today
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			is one of those people in Islamic history
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			who you get a piece of his story
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			and everyone knows the piece, but no one
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			knows the whole or very few people know
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			the whole, right?
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:04
			It's a small piece that constantly is cited
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			as an example of how to show mercy
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			to someone and that is the story of
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Thumamah ibn Uthal radiyallahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			Thumamah ibn Uthal radiyallahu anhu.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			But just to give you a little bit
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			of a roadmap of what we're gonna be
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			doing.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			So Thumamah is the last full story of
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			an attempted assassin of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			Next time we're gonna cover two sections, either
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			as one or two.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			All of the assassination attempts on the Prophet
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			ﷺ that ended up with repentance.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			So everything we haven't covered thus far and
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			then a very interesting section and I'm gonna
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			give you an assignment, false prophets who repented.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			And inshaAllah, I'm gonna give you an assignment
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			if you can find who is a false
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			prophet who died a shaheed.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Very interesting man, false prophet who died a
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			shaheed.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			So inshaAllah ta'ala today we're going to
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			speak about Thumamah ibn Uthal or ibn Athal
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			radiyallahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			And there's a lot of historical context to
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:04
			this man.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			He's known as the man who boycotted Mecca.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			So when this entire episode of genocide unfolded,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			one of the questions that was asked was
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			can we boycott?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			Where do boycotts come from?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			Do they have a place, a precedence in
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			our Islamic history?
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			And you might have heard the story of
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Thumamah radiyallahu ta'ala anhu cited as an
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			example of someone who actually did place the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			enemy under boycott as a means of getting
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			them to reduce their oppression of the Muslims.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			But the history of this man.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			The Prophet ﷺ initiates the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:47
			with Quraysh in the year 628, six years
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			after hijlah.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			And after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Prophet
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			ﷺ sends letters to the kings of the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			world because this is an opportunity to do
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			da'wah.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent these
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			letters with the intention of showing that the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Muslims were now in a place of strength,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			that he could enter into the arena of
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			global diplomacy, but more importantly da'wah, calling
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			them to Islam.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			So it wasn't just forming treaties with all
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			of these surrounding leaders from near and from
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			far.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			But also calling them to Islam and calling
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			their people to Islam.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			Some of the governors and some of the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			smaller regional heads did embrace Islam.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			But by and large the kings gave the
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			Prophet ﷺ very negative answers, right?
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			Of course, the Prophet ﷺ called Najashi to
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			Islam and Najashi radiyallahu ta'ala anhu embraced
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Islam and there is a story that is
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			there.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:47
			The Prophet ﷺ sent a letter to Heraclius
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			of Rome, the Caesar of Rome, and invited
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			him to Islam.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			The Caesar of Rome, Heraclius, knew that the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			Prophet ﷺ was the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			He saw a dream where he understood that
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			the Prophet ﷺ had come, but he was
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			not in a place yet or he did
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			not feel ready to lose his kingdom over
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			embracing the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			So the famous conversation between him and Abu
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			Sufyan, where he asked Abu Sufyan honest questions
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			about the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			The Prophet ﷺ sends to Masr, to Egypt,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			to Muqawqis.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			The Prophet ﷺ sends to Kisra of Persia
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			and of course Kisra, so Muqawqis tries to
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			bribe the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			Kisra tears the letter of the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			and threatens him with assassination and the Prophet
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			ﷺ of course said, مَزَّقَ اللَّهُ مُلْكَةً May
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			Allah tear his kingdom and his kingdom fell
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			apart.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			Now when you look at some of the
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			other regions, and this is where Thumama comes
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			into play.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			There are regions around the Hijaz, Makkah and
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			Madinah.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			So it wasn't called Saudi Arabia 1400 years
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:52
			ago.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			I hope everyone knew that, right?
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			There is the region of Hijaz and there
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			are regions around that don't just have tribal
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			heads, but they have what resembles a king.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			So for example, Uman, the region of Uman,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			the region of Bahrain, not necessarily referring to
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			the country of Bahrain today or the borders
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			of the country of Bahrain, but it is
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			generally in that area as is generally the
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			case with Uman.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			You have towards Ash-Sham, which led to
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			the Battle of Mu'tah, the Prophet ﷺ sends
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			a letter in that direction.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:31
			And Shurahbil ibn Amr al-Ghassani, not Shurahbil
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			ibn Hassanah r.a, Shurahbil murders the ambassador
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			of the Prophet ﷺ, right?
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			The one who's carrying the letter to the
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			Ghassani king in the area of Jordan.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			He murders the ambassador of the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			which is a declaration of war.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			And that's what actually led to the Battle
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			of Mu'tah.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			Now in the case of Yemen and Bahrain
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			and Uman and those areas around and Egypt,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			it's understood.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			But the closest man to the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			who fits the mold of a king, and
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			who actually subhanAllah, ironically, might have been the
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			most powerful Muslim in the world when he
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			became Muslim, and that's not an exaggeration, is
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			this man, Thumama ibn Uthal r.a. So
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			if you could look at the map, Thumama
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			is the chief of a tribe known as
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			Banu Hanifa.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			And if you look at that middle region,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			he's different because he's not just the chief,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			but he's also Malik al-Yamama.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			He's the king of Yamama.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			Yamama basically envelopes Mecca and Medina.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			Okay, it envelopes the entire region.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			Who can tell me what's north?
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			You all know your maps now, right?
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			North is Ash-Sham.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			So you have all the region towards Jordan
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			and Syria and Palestine and Lebanon, right?
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			That's towards the north.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			And Yamama controls the trade routes to Ash
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			-Sham, because they easily form like little checkpoints,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			and they can border that area there, and
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			they can make things very difficult on Mecca
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			in the middle and Medina in the middle.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			Towards the...
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			Is that east or west?
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			My east, your west.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			All right.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			But that's where you have the region of
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			Iraq, and you have the region, you know,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			where the Prophet ﷺ mentions, that Qarnash Shaitan,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			the devil's horn comes from that direction.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			So Iraq and all the fitan that come
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			from there, from that direction, right?
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			So that's on that side.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			So you're interrupted on the way to Iraq.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:29
			All right.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			And then south, you're interrupted on the way
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			to Yemen.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			And of course, the Meccans and the people
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			of Medina relied upon the trade route of
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			Yemen and the trade route of Ash-Sham.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			So this man is a very dangerous man
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			to the Prophet ﷺ, and he's so dangerous
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			that some of the historians, they say that
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			the strategy with him and with Malik al
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			-Yamamah in that area was to just not
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:54
			poke them.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			You want to kind of leave them alone
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			so that Medina and Mecca continue, and the
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			Prophet ﷺ continues his da'wah.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			But with a person like that, you don't
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			want him to get involved, and you don't
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			want his people to get involved.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			On top of that, Thumamah, the bigger tribe
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			that they are intermarried into, Banu Bakr, are
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			known for being desert bandits.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			So he doesn't just envelope the entire region
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			with his kingdom, all right, and you don't
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:22
			want to mess with him.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			Strategically, politically, economically, you want to avoid his
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:27
			wrath.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			But he also could hurt you.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			If he dispatches some of his bandits in
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			the desert, you really can't move from the
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			area of al-Hijaz, from Mecca and Medina.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			So that's Yamamah, the barrier to the Persian
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			Gulf and to Iraq, engulfing Mecca and Medina,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			interferes with the southern trade with Yemen, interferes
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			with the northern trade of Ashsham, northwest of
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			Ashsham.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			And the Prophet ﷺ sends him a letter
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			now because he's in a position where he
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			can do da'wah to these kings.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			And it's not a hostile letter.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			The king, Thumamah ibn Uthal, he doesn't just
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			murder the ambassador, he murders the entire mission.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			All right, so he responds the way that
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			Kisra responded to the letter, the way that
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			the Ghassanis responded to the letter leading to
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			Mu'tah, which means essentially a declaration of war.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			He killed all of the Sahaba that came
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			from the Prophet ﷺ with that letter.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			So the Prophet ﷺ has a dilemma on
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			his hand, right?
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			How do I deal with a man this
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			dangerous, right?
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			Do we go to war with him?
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			Do we try to capture him?
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			Do we engage in a different way?
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			But this is a very dangerous man to
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:41
			upset.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:47
			Along the way, the Prophet ﷺ dispatches Muhammad
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			ibn Maslamah radiyallahu anhu, who we spoke about
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			last week, the knight of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			And Muhammad ibn Maslamah has an interesting job.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			He takes 30 horsemen, and Muhammad ibn Maslamah
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			was the most skilled horseman, and they basically
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:06
			go and they fight all of the mercenary
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:10
			tribes that were hostile to the Muslims to
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			clean that area out.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			So remember, Hudaybiyyah meant the Muslims and Quraysh
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			were in a treaty, and there were some
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			ally tribes, but there are little mercenary groups
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			and bandits that are attacking people.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			So Muhammad ibn Maslamah's job was to basically
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			fend all of them off.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			And so he literally goes around cleaning the
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:29
			desert.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			What a man, subhanAllah.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			Cleaning the desert with the 30 Sahaba that
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			were with him.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			One of these knights, he's close to a
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			Najd.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			By the way, the easiest way for you
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			to know Yamama, Riyadh.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			Alright, I should have just said that from
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			the very start.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			I know using modern names is easier sometimes.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			So Yamama is basically Riyadh.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			If you wanted to see the graveyard of
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			the Sahaba who died in Hurub al-Ridda,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			it is in Riyadh, right?
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			That's at the center of where Yamama is.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			So Muhammad ibn Maslamah got far away from
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			Medina.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			Okay, he's pretty distant away from Medina at
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			this point, and he's hunting a group known
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			as Banu Bakr.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			I'm gonna give you a tangent on Banu
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			Bakr, which is really amazing, subhanAllah.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			These men were known to be mercenaries, and
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			they used to call them the shadows of
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			the desert because they attack you, they disappear,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			they attack you, they disappear.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			You want them on your side.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			They had a strategy to intermarry with all
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			of the powerful tribes.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			Alright, so they kind of got in with
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			all the powerful tribes, and so they're intermarried,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			or Banu Hanifa is actually a part of
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			them in some way.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			So he's hunting these mercenaries, these groups, and
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			basically cleaning the desert from them.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			The cool tangent of history.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			SubhanAllah, these people were people of Hurub, people
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			of war before Islam, and then after Islam.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			In Jahiliyyah, Harw al-Basus, the whole war
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			for 40 years, was incited by them.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			It shows you who they are.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			When they became Muslim, they became a skilled
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			battalion of the Muslim army, all the way
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			up until al-Dawla al-'Uthmaniyya.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			In the Ottoman Empire, Banu Bakr still had
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			their own battalion in the Khilafah, subhanAllah, because
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			of how skilled and organized they were in
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:22
			battle.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			So Muhammad ibn Maslamah radiyAllahu anhu is going
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			around, and he's fighting them off.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			He comes upon this group, and he was
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:33
			about seven nights away from Medina, and he
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			captures a group of Banu Bakr.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			He manages to kill ten of them, and
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			then he takes in the rest as prisoners,
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			to come to the Prophet ﷺ, to bring
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			them to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			Now subhanAllah, he did not realize that one
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			of the people he captured was Thumamah, who
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			the Prophet ﷺ had said, we're at war
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			with him, right?
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			So if you find him, he could be
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			killed technically, because he's waged war on the
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			Muslims, and he's a dangerous man.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			Why was Thumamah traveling with Banu Bakr?
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			One of two possibilities.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			Either Banu Bakr were like his bodyguards, or
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			there was intermarriage, and Banu Hanifa is a
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			part of Banu Bakr in this regard.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			But for whatever reason, he was with them.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			Muhammad ibn Maslamah doesn't know who he is,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			but he's a big man.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			He's clearly a powerful man.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			He has the robes of a king, and
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			he comes back to Medina, with Thumamah amongst
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			his captives, and over a hundred fifty camels,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			and over three thousand sheep, to Al-Medina.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			So he's walking into Medina, with his horsemen.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			I clearly got a powerful group of people.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			He comes to the Masjid of the Prophet
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:40
			ﷺ.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			Thumamah is tied up, and Thumamah was tall,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:51
			intelligent, Rajul Dhu Hayba, very handsome, awe-inspiring,
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			strong mind, strong body.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			He looks like an important man, and he
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			was dressed in a certain way.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			The Prophet ﷺ looks up at him, and
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			goes, Thumamah, is that Thumamah?
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			Ibn Athal, did you really bring Thumamah in
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			this Sariyya?
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			Thumamah was on his way to Umrah, as
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			a non-Muslim, and obviously he does important
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			business as well when he goes to Mecca.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			Right, he controls the trade routes, he goes
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			for the idols, he goes for the political
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			relationships, but Thumamah was going to Umrah, as
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:22
			a non-Muslim.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:27
			And Muhammad ibn Masamah, radhiAllahu anhu, accidentally captured
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:27
			him.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			And he brings him to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			On the Prophet's ﷺ, he recognized him right
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			away, and Muhammad ibn Masamah was like, wait,
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			that's Thumamah?
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			Prophet ﷺ says, that's Thumamah.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			What's he gonna do with him?
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			Now we know, most of us know this
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			story, but subhanAllah, what would you do in
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			that point?
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			Crucify him?
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			Make an example?
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			Killing Thumamah would send a chilling message to
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			the leaders of Quraysh, to some of the
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			other leaders in the region.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			We killed what might have been the most
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			powerful man in the region, in this moment.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:01
			Right?
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			Which sends a message that you too, might
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			be next.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:10
			Instead, the Prophet ﷺ says, tie him to
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			one of the pillars of the Masjid, and
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			the Prophet ﷺ said, bring to him the
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			best food that you have, and the best
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			laban, the best milk that you have.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			Spoil him with his food and milk.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			Treat him well.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			So he comes into the Masjid, he gets
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			tied into the pillar of a Masjid.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			Imagine being tied in Masjid al-Nabawi.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			He killed the mission of the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			meaning the ambassador and those that were sent
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			with him, and he's tied to the Masjid.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			Now subhanAllah, you stop here and you think,
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			like Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, sat in
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			the Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ for nine
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			years almost, listening to his khutbas and observing
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			the Sahaba, but Allah did not guide him.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			His heart remained diseased with hypocrisy.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			All of the images did not change him.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			But if Allah عز و جل wants to
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			turn the heart of a person, just a
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			few hours of witnessing the Muslims can change
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:08
			him.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:09
			What is he doing?
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			He's tied in the Masjid, the salah goes
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			on, the Muslims come to him, they treat
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			him well, they give him good words, they
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			give him good food.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			He's like, who are these people?
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			They're extremely nice to him.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			There's also another element, subhanAllah, to this, that
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			the Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ did not
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			used to do open houses.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			It was always an open house.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			And how do you know that your Masjid
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			has arrived, and may Allah عز و جل
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			make our Masjid as such, that if a
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			non-Muslim could walk in at any time,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			their hearts would be moved towards Islam, bi
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:42
			-idhnillah.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			That we have that protocol, we have that
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:45
			process.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			As soon as anyone walks into the Masjid,
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			they see the beauty of the character, they
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			are amazed by the beauty of the worship,
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			they're going to be treated in a certain
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			way, they're not going to be looked at
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			suspicious and weirdly like, what are you doing
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:56
			here?
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			They're going to be treated that way, like
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			the Prophet ﷺ did not have a Ramadan
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			iftar for non-Muslims once a year, and
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			then the rest of it stay out of
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			Masjid an-Nabawi.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			People walked, all types of people walked into
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			the Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			The Bedouin who came and urinated, and then
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			the most powerful man in Arabia, one of
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			the most powerful men, tied up to the
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:13
			pillar.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			The Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ was a
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			place where Muslims were always observed in their
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			natural element.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			You ask yourself, if a non-Muslim was
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			tied, and please don't go tie up a
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			non-Muslim to the pillar of Valley Ranch
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:24
			Masjid.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			But let's just say that a person was
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			tied to the pillar, and again, disclaimer, do
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			not go tie up a non-Muslim to
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			that pillar.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			But was watching us pray five times a
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			day, and was watching us in our natural
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			element, do you think their hearts would be
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:38
			moved to Islam?
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			That's a question.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			So the Prophet ﷺ said, leave him.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			The hadith is in the chapter of Al
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			-Bukhari, Baab Wafti Bani Hanifa.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			The chapter of the delegation of Bani Hanifa.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			And subhanAllah, some of the scholars said in
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			the Sharh of Bukhari, that even though, like
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			in the explanation of Sahih Al-Bukhari, even
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			though he was one man, his Islam would
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			be so significant, it was like an entire
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			kingdom entering into Islam.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			So it's like a weft, it's like a
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:16
			delegation, or it started the process of Bani
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			Hanifa coming to Islam.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			Abu Huraira radiAllahu ta'ala, and who narrates
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			it, that the Prophet ﷺ sent some of
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			his soldiers towards a Najd, and they captured
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			this man from Bani Hanifa, who was the
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			king of Yamama, and his name was Thumama
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			ibn Uthal, and they fastened him to one
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			of the pillars of the masjid, and the
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:41
			Prophet ﷺ came up to him, فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			النَّبِيُّ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَنِهِ وَسَلَامًا فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدَكَ
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:48
			يَا ثُمَامَةُ Prophet ﷺ said, What do you
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			have to offer, O Thumama?
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةُ مَا عِنْدَكَ could mean
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			so many different things.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			It could mean, what do you have to
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			say for yourself?
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			Or, look, you're a really powerful man, you
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			can finance the entire Muslim army.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			What's in your, what's in your pockets?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			What can you go and bring us back?
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			مَا عِنْدَكَ What do you have, O Thumama?
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			What do you think?
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			And he responds, and he says, عِنْدِي خَيْرِ
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			يَا مُحَمَّدٍ I have a lot of good
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			to offer you, O Muhammad.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:23
			He said, إِن تَقْتُلْنِي تَقْتُلْ ذَا دَمْ He
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			said, listen, first of all, if you kill
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:28
			me, you're going to kill a man for
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			whom his blood will be avenged, meaning people
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			will come and shed blood in Medina.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			You're in trouble if you kill me.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			So it wouldn't be smart for you or
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			wise for you, and that shows you the
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			dignity or the ego or a mixture of
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			the two of Thumama tied to the pillar
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:43
			of the Masjid.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			He's speaking with a lot of pride, right?
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			For a man tied up to the pillar
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			of a Masjid, he's still talking big.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			Says, you kill me, a bunch of people
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			are going to kill your people.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:56
			تَقْتُلْ ذَا دَمْ وَإِن تُنْعِمْ تُنْعِمْ عَلَىٰ شَاكِرٍ
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:01
			If you show me a favor, you're showing
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			your favor to a man who is very
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:03
			grateful.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			So the shukr that will come, a little
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			more ambiguous, right?
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			The way that I'll help you, you'll see.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			You do me a favor and some of
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			your political problems, some of your economic woes,
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			some of that will go away.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:20
			And he says, وَإِن كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْمَالِ فَسَلْ
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ And he said, if you
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			want money, this is all about finances, just
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			tell me what you want.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			Ask, give me the amount.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			I can get you that amount.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			You want a billion dollars, the equivalent of
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:30
			it?
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			I'll get you the money.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			Prophet ﷺ simply smiles at him and walks
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			away.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			So he observes another day of Fajr and
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			Dhuhr and Asr and Maghrib.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			Prophet ﷺ leads the Muslims in Maghrib.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			Prophet ﷺ walks up to him again, and
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			he says, مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةٍ What do
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:49
			you have, O Thumamah?
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			He asked him the same question.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			Said the same thing as yesterday.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			You kill me, blood will be shed.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:01
			And if you show me goodness, you will
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			show goodness to a grateful man.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			And if you want money, name the price.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			Prophet ﷺ smiles at him and leaves him
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:07
			again.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			He comes to him the third day.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			مَا عِنْدَكَ يَا ثُمَامَةٍ What do you have,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			O Thumamah?
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			He says the same thing to him.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			And the Prophet ﷺ says to him, in
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			fact he says, عِنْدِي مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ I
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			have what I already told you.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			I'm not going to repeat my sentences to
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:23
			you again.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			I already told you the three options when
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			it comes to me.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			Now, SubhanAllah, the Prophet ﷺ says to him
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			after three days of being in the masjid,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			he just says to the Sahaba, اَطْلِقُوا ثُمَامَةٍ
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			Let him go.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			This is a strange way to deal with
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			the situation in the moment.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			Like if you don't know where this is
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:44
			going.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			No money, it's halal to get some money
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			from him, the spoils of war, and this
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			man just killed some of the companions, no
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			revenge.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			You're not going to take him out.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:59
			You're not going to, you know, send a
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			message by hurting him in some way, maiming
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			him in some way, which was very common
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			for the Arabs, right?
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			Very common in war, right?
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			You're not going to send him back with
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			something like a cut off ear or some
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			cut off fingers or something like that for
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			killing after receiving your letter.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:14
			Nothing.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			You're not going to ask anything from him,
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:17
			Ya Rasulullah.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			No prisoner exchange, nothing.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:20
			Just go.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:26
			اَطْلِقُوا ثُمَامَةٍ So no price, no money, no
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			vengeance, no conditions.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			ثُمَامَةٍ leaves the masjid and people are looking
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			around like what just happened here?
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			How did we just let go of such
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			a powerful man?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			But SubhanAllah, maybe that Allah revealed something to
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			the Prophet ﷺ or the Prophet ﷺ saw
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			something in him, right?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			But clearly the Prophet ﷺ knew that something
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:48
			had changed.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			ثُمَامَةٍ being the proud man that he is,
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			ثُمَامَةٍ had already decided to become Muslim while
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			he was in captivity.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			But he didn't want to become Muslim in
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			captivity so that his people did not say
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			that he became Muslim because he was a
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			hostage.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			He became Muslim as a captive.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			So he goes to the area of al
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:13
			-Baqi' and he finds a tree and he
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:17
			takes some water and he does ghusl under
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			a tree outside of al-Baqi' Then he
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:26
			walks into the masjid and without introduction he
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			says أَشْهَدُ أَن لا إِلهَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَشْهَدُ
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			أَنَّكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ Everyone looks at him like
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:31
			what?
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			What just happened?
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			No as-salamu alaykum, no I want to
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			talk to you about Islam now.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			He walks into the masjid and in a
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			loud voice he says his shahada.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			أَشْهَدُ أَن لا إِلَهَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			رَسُولَ اللَّهِ I bear witness that there is
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			only one God and that you are his
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			messenger.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:54
			Prophet ﷺ so pleased Prophet ﷺ tells him
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			to come forward He comes to the messenger
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			of Allah ﷺ and embraces him now as
		
00:23:59 --> 00:23:59
			a Muslim.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			And then he says to the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07
			يا محمد والله ما كان على الأرض وجه
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			أبغض إليّ من وجهك SubhanAllah this is a
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:14
			very descriptive part of his conversation.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			He says there was no face on the
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			face of the earth that I hated more
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			than your face.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			I hated the look of you.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			I hated your face.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			I hated you when I saw you ﷺ
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:33
			قَالَ فَقَدْ أَصْبَحَ وَجْهُكَ أَحَبَّ الْوَجُوهِ إِلَيّ And
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			now your face is the most beloved face
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			in the world to me.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			والله ما كان من دين أبغض إليّ من
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			دينك He said out of all the religions
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			in the world I hated your religion the
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:43
			most.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:44
			He is an idol worshipper.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			He said I did not hate a religion
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			more than I hated your religion.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:54
			فَأَصْبَحَ دِينُكَ أَحَبَّ الدِّينِ إِلَيّ And now your
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			religion is the most beloved religion to me.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			And he says والله ما كان من بلد
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			أبغض إليّ من بلدك فَأَصْبَحَ بَلَدُكَ أَحَبَّ الْبِلَادِ
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			إِلَيّ And I did not hate a land
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			more than I hated your land.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			And now your land, Al-Madinah, is the
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			most beloved land in the world to me.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			Which shows you by the way, some of
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			the scholars mentioned this and saying loving Madinah
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			is a sign of imam.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			When faith enters the heart, حُبُّ الْمَدِينَةِ enters
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			the heart.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			Loving the Madinah, the city of the Prophet
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			ﷺ enters the heart.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			And some of the scholars said this is
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			one of the proofs that you gauge the
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			state of your imam by your love of
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:31
			Madinah.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:33
			Subhanallah.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			So imagine for now, I wanted to kill
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			him ﷺ, I wanted to end his religion
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			and I wanted to choke off that territory
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			of Al-Madinah.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			It was the most hated place.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			I look at it on earth and it
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:49
			resembles to him what a certain illegal settler
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			colonial state resembles to us.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			I hated it.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			But now, it's the most beloved place in
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			the world to me.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			And then he says to the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			He says, وَإِنَّ خَيْلَكَ أَخَذَتْنِي وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةِ
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			He said, now I have a dilemma.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			Your battalion, he points to Muhammad ibn Maslamah,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			they caught me when I was on my
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			way to Umrah.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			فَمَاذَا تَرَى So, what do I do now?
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			Do I go to Umrah?
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			Do I go back to Yamamah?
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			Do I stay in Madinah?
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			Now I'm Muslim, what do I do?
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			I embrace Islam so that no one would
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			say I did it under compulsion.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			And subhanallah, this shows you by the way
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			that every story is so unique.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			Like look at Safwan ibn Umayyah, who we
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:31
			talked about.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			Safwan ibn Umayyah, who even in that time
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			says, give me two months to think about
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:35
			it.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			Even when he's done it all.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			And the Prophet ﷺ gives him so much
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			to soften his heart to Islam.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			Here, this man, he was risking death.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			The Prophet ﷺ could have said, I'm gonna
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			kill you because of what you did.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			You're not reasoning with me.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			But he wanted to have that independent entrance
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			into Islam, so he could be sincere for
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:54
			the sake of Allah.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			He says, فَمَاذَا تَرَى So the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:02
			told him, اِعْتَمَرْ Go and do Umrah as
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:02
			a Muslim.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:08
			This makes him, by the way, subhanallah, the
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			first Muslim to do Umrah as a Muslim.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:16
			Because Umrah tul Qadha was the next year.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			The make up Umrah.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			So he's the first Muslim to go with
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			the Umrah of Islam.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			Subhanallah.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			This hostile king is now gonna go perform
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			Umrah.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			So he goes to Dhul-Halaifah.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			He takes his instructions from the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			his how to do Umrah, right, as a
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			Muslim now.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:40
			He enters into his Ihram, and he makes
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			his way to Mecca.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			He enters into Mecca, and it's not an
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			unfamiliar sight to see Thumamah entering into Mecca.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			Everybody knows Thumamah, everyone knows the king of
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			Yamamah is here.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			So seeing Thumamah walking in and doing Umrah,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			okay, not so unfamiliar.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:01
			But his Talbiyah, he's the first person to
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			do the Talbiyah of Islam.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:07
			Because the Talbiyah, the chant in Jahiliyyah was,
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			لَبَيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَيْكِ إِلَّا شَرِيكًا هُوَ
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:14
			لَكَ تَمْلِكُهُ وَمَا مَلَكَ That's what they would
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			say.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			That there is no god besides you, except
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			for a god that you own and that
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			which he possesses, meaning the idols.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			So there is no shirk except for shirk.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			That was basically Talbiyah before Islam.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			That's how they ruined the religion of Ibrahim
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			A.S. They took the monotheism of Abraham
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			and they modified it.
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			So they added idols around the Ka'bah
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			which was built for the worship of one
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			god by Abraham, by Ibrahim A.S. And
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			then they modified the Talbiyah to say, you
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			know, the fine print, there is no shirk
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42
			except for shirk.
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			Our shirk is still okay because the idols
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:48
			are still inferior to the god that's in
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:48
			the heavens.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			So he walks into Mecca.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			And imagine the sight.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			He comes in by himself.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:57
			لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:01
			إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُ Imagine the one man, the first
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			Muslim walking in and everyone in Mecca is
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			looking at him like, wait, what is happening
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			here?
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			Is he doing what we think he's doing?
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16
			Now some of the youth who were going
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			to regret this, they immediately went and they
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			jumped on him to roughen him up.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			And then some of the elders of Mecca
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			were like, back off!
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			That's Thumamah.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			If he severs the trade routes, we're done.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			Don't mess with him.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			So they said to Thumamah, Abu Sufyan and
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35
			some of the elders, they said, يَا ثُمَامَةَ
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			أَصَبَوْتَ يَعْنِي تَرَكْتَ دِينَكَ Did you become a
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:38
			Sabian?
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			Means did you leave your religion?
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			The same thing they asked Umar ibn al
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			-Khattab radiAllahu ta'ala عنه.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:48
			He said, لَا وَلَكِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ مَعْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			اللَّهِ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَامًا He said, No,
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			but I became Muslim with Muhammad, the Messenger
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:58
			And they were like, Wow!
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:01
			Now we have to deal with the guy
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04
			who envelopes Mecca and Medina.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			The king is a Muslim.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:06
			What do we do?
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			Do we kill him?
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			Do we back off?
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			These people are hypocrites at the end of
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			the day, you know, in terms of the
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			political sense.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			Some of them became Muslim and Muslim, of
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			course, later on, but they have to be
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:17
			diplomatic here.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			They've got to do the political stuff, right?
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			So apologies, and, you know, we didn't know,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			and go ahead and finish your Umrah.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			We don't want to mess with Thumamah ibn
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:26
			Uthal.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:30
			But Thumamah said, You guys mistreated me.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			I don't like the way you're acting.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			Those young people, one of them pulled an
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:35
			arrow out on me.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			And they're trying to calm the situation down,
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			like, no, no, you're okay.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			You're one of the good Muslims or the
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42
			only good Muslim, we'll tolerate you.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:48
			And Thumamah says to them, والله لا يأتيكم
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:53
			من اليمامة حبة حمطة حتى يأذن فيها النبي
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			صلى الله عليه وسلم He said, listen to
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:56
			me.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			I swear by Allah that not a grain
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			of barley will reach you people until you
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			get permission, or until Muhammad صلى الله عليه
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			وسلم gives me permission.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			They're hoping he's exaggerating.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:14
			They're not dumb enough to kill him and
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			then have Yamamah descend upon them.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:20
			Right, they're hoping, they're hoping that he's exaggerating.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			But subhanAllah, he goes back.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			And you know, this isn't just words.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			He cut off all the trade routes to
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:30
			Mecca.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			So barley did not reach them, grain did
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			not reach them, and nothing grows in Mecca.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			So what happened to them?
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			They actually started to starve.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			It actually had an impact.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			Pause for a moment and talk about BDS.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			No, we should, you know, boycotting the occupation
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			and we should strive for peace.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			You put a bully in his place.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			You put a bully in his place because
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:01
			if a bully in this situation, right, does
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			not fear accountability, you have what you have
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:03
			today.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			And so subhanAllah, even the global peaceful protest
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:12
			of boycott is being cracked down upon because
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			of the impact that it's having.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:15
			Say, no, no, but it doesn't mean anything.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			Then why did Starbucks just fire its CEO?
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			Why is it emptying out in different parts
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:19
			of the world?
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			That's to the head of, or that's to
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			a criminal state, punishing the political leadership of
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			a criminal state.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:31
			Yamamah places Mecca under boycott and you cannot
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:35
			underestimate the politics of this in Hudaybiyyah because
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:38
			now we're not in a state of active
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			war here.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:39
			We're in a treaty.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			And the Prophet ﷺ seemingly was humiliated in
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			Hudaybiyyah because he accepted terms that weren't favorable
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:46
			to him.
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			And they've been persecuting and oppressing the Muslims
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:50
			all this time.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			And how bad did it get in Mecca?
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			It actually did have an effect.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			As the narration goes on, that they had
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:00
			to eat al'ilhiz.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			Does anyone know what al'ilhiz is?
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:03
			Anybody?
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			You read this in the hadith?
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:05
			It's very interesting.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07
			I went down a rabbit hole.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:12
			Al'ilhiz is when you take blood and
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			you wrap it in a skin, you wrap
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			it in fur.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			It sounds gross because it's supposed to sound
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:16
			gross.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			But you put blood in some sort of
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			a cover, fur, and you fry it so
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			that it can keep you hydrated and you
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:22
			don't starve.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			It's an anti-starvation tactic.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29
			So things got extremely difficult in Mecca to
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			the point that they started to starve.
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			And they had to start to eat things.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:36
			Now subhanAllah, when they boycotted the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			and they threw him and his family into
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:39
			the valley, what did they have to eat?
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			They ate skins, they fried, they fried whatever
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			they could find.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			Sa'ad radiyallahu anhu gives that painful memory
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			where he says that, I urinated and I
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			realized there was a hard surface and there
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			was a bone there, and you had to
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			turn the bone into powder.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55
			You see what hunger does to people.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			And that's why al'jur is such a
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:57
			crime.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			Starvation is a crime in Islam.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:01
			It is a crime to put people in
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			starvation intentionally.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:03
			It's a crime to put an animal in
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			starvation intentionally.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			That could put you in hellfire forever.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			Right, what a crime, right?
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:12
			So Mecca starts to starve.
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:14
			And then what happens?
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			Everything they did to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			Abu Sufyan sends a letter to the Prophet
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20
			ﷺ.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			SubhanAllah, full circle moment.
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			And what does Abu Sufyan say?
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:31
			He says, أَنْ شُذُكُمْ أَللَّهُ أَوْ بِاللَّهِ وَالرَّحْمِ
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			He said, I'm pleading to you in the
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			name of Allah and our family ties.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39
			Come on, like, basically and the gist of
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:40
			it is, like it's one thing when we
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			do this to each other, but we can't
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			let anyone else do this to us.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			Like yeah, we starved you and we put
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			you through some difficult times and we fought
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50
			and we've traded blows, but are you really
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			going to let someone do this to your
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			cousins and to your family back in Mecca
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			who of course ran you out and killed
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			your family and put you in boycotts and
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			has been subjecting you to torture for almost
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			two decades.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			Are you really going to do this to
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:03
			us?
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			And Abu Sufyan even tries to guilt trip
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:11
			And he says to him in this letter,
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ بُعِثْتَ رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ You say that
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			you were sent as a mercy to the
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:15
			world.
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:21
			And he says to him, قَدْ قَتَلْتَ الْآبَاءَ
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:25
			بِالصِّيُوفِ وَالْأَبْنَاءَ بِالجُوعِ Subhanallah, the nerve.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			You killed the fathers with the swords and
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29
			you're killing the children with starvation.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			Everything they did to him ﷺ, they did
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			to the Muslims.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:35
			Right?
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			But he's trying to guilt the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			and he's saying, please, for our family ties,
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:43
			can you talk to Thumama to end the
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			embargo, end the boycott.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			And you know what?
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:51
			The Prophet ﷺ says, yes, I will.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			Now, the dynamics here, of course, he is
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ ﷺ.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			He is a mercy to the world.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			And the Prophet ﷺ does not want to
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			harm people who have nothing to do with
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			this.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:02
			That's one.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			The scholars talk about the fawad, the benefits
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:05
			of this.
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			Number two, the Prophet ﷺ is softening people's
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			hearts here.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			So he's softening the hearts of the likes
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:11
			of Abu Sufyan.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14
			The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah offers an opportunity to
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			finally bring da'wah back to them.
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:17
			Right?
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			So while the Prophet ﷺ is doing da
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			'wah to the world, look, I'm not going
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			to do to you what you did to
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22
			us.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			And this is the lesson in Islam, they
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			are not our teachers.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			It's the lesson of the Prophet ﷺ when
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			he came back to Mecca, not with vengeance,
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:31
			doing to them what they did to him,
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:32
			but forgiving them.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			It's the lesson of Salahuddin when he entered
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			into Jerusalem, not doing to the crusaders what
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			they did to the Muslims.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			They are not our teachers.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40
			We don't learn our ethics from them.
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:41
			We don't learn our manners from them.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:45
			So the Prophet ﷺ writes a letter to
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:49
			Thumama رضي الله تعالى عنه and he says,
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:53
			stop disrupting the route to Mecca.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			Let them be.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56
			فَفَعَلَ Thumama said, okay.
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:00
			Thumama informs Mecca that I'm letting the grain
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:04
			continue to you because of Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:07
			Like you better thank him because I would
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			have starved you to death.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			Thumama is a political leader.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			He's like, I would have done to you
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:13
			what you did to him.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			You're lucky I'm letting it go.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:17
			But I'm letting it go because the Prophet
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			ﷺ let it go.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			By the way, there is an ayah of
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:22
			Qur'an, subhanAllah, interestingly, that some of the
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:24
			scholars say that is related from the tafsir.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			In Surah Al-Mu'minoon, وَلَقَدَ أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:32
			اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ Verse 76 of Surah
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:32
			Al-Mu'minoon.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			Some of the scholars say this was actually
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			the reason for its revelation that we have
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			seized them with punishment but they still didn't
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			humble themselves to their Lord, nor did they
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			submissively appeal to Him.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			Like that would have been a perfect opportunity
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			for them to think about what they did
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			to the Prophet ﷺ and what they did
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			to the Muslims, and that Allah was humbling
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			them and putting them in their place.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:53
			But still, at this point, it's still politics.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			It's appeal to the Prophet ﷺ on the
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:00
			basis of family, let it go, do not
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:03
			hurt us any further than we've been hurt.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			Al-Hafidh ibn Hajar, رحمه الله, says, and
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			of course, subhanAllah, as I said, you can't
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:13
			underestimate how much this facilitates the eventual Fatih
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:14
			of Mecca.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:16
			And all of that goes to the Ajr
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:20
			of Musaylim, not Musaylim, Muhammad ibn Maslamah, رضي
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:23
			الله تعالى عنه, who caught Thumamah, رضي الله
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:23
			تعالى عنه.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:25
			All the Ajr goes back to him.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:25
			Right?
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			And the events that followed.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			Al-Hafidh ibn Hajar, رحمه الله, he comments
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			on this hadith with eight benefits, or several
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			of them.
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:37
			The first one, he says, ربط الكافر في
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:38
			المسجد.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:40
			So at that time, obviously, to tie the
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			disbeliever, to tie the enemy in the masjid
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			when they attack you.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			To tie them in the masjid so that
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			they could see the way the Muslims are.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			So the permissibility of that.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:52
			He says, المن على الأسير الكافر وتعظيم أمر
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:58
			العفو عن المسيء لأن ثمامة أقسم أن بغضه
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			انقلب حبا في ساعة واحدة.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			Very powerful.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			He said, to show goodness to the prisoner.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:08
			And to extol the virtue of forgiveness and
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:08
			pardon.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11
			Because Thumama by his own admission said that
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			his heart changed in a matter of an
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			hour to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:17
			Went from hatred to love.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:20
			And he continues and he says, وفيه الاختصال
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			عند الإسلام He said, and in it is
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:23
			that you should do ghusl, that a person
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			showers when they become Muslim.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:29
			وفيه أن الإحسان يزيل البغض ويثبت الحب.
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			And in it, it shows that when you
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33
			show excellence to a person it removes anger
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35
			and it replaces it with love.
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:38
			And he says, وفيه أن الكافر إذا أراد
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:42
			عمل خير ثم أسلم شرع له أن يستمر
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43
			في عمل ذلك الخير.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:45
			And it shows that if a person was
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			not a Muslim and they intended to do
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:49
			something good, and then they become Muslim, they
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:50
			should continue doing that good.
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:54
			Like the Prophet ﷺ lets it go on.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			And he continues with multiple things.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			He says, and it shows that if there
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			is a maslaha to Islam, if there is
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			a goodness towards Islam, that a person should
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:07
			choose to show the virtue, the beauty of
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:12
			Islam, not always the power, right, of might,
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			but the power of pardon and forgiveness.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:17
			Because he said, look how many people became
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:20
			Muslim because of Thumama رضي الله تعالى عنه.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:21
			Like if the Prophet ﷺ made an example
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			out of him from the power of might,
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			the story is so different.
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			This takes an entirely different term.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29
			Could there have been a political benefit?
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			Yeah, you could say so.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:32
			Maybe so.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:35
			But look at the benefits that were reaped
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:35
			instead.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:38
			And he continues to mention many different things.
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:40
			So what happens after?
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			This is usually where the story stops, but
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			it doesn't stop.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			Allah tested these people with the sincerity of
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			their Islam when they had opportunities to turn
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:51
			back on the Prophet ﷺ as it would
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:54
			be politically convenient to do so in certain
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:54
			moments.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			In the case of Thumama رضي الله تعالى
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			عنه, the worst fitna came from right under
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			his nose.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			The worst early fitna of Islam.
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:08
			And that was the fitna, the trial of
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:11
			Musaylimah الكذاب, Musaylimah the false prophet.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			So Thumama رضي الله تعالى عنه comes back,
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:17
			he's Muslim, and many of his people embrace
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			Islam with him.
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:21
			But there's still a lot of like, why
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			would we in Yamama رضي الله تعالى عنه
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:27
			accept the religion of this man here.
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:31
			Mecca and Medina, like we control this area,
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:35
			we control these people, the tribal arrogance that
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			got to them, and they didn't see the
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			Prophet ﷺ, they didn't know the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			Why are we accepting that religion?
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:43
			Why are we submitting ourselves to a person
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			like this?
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:48
			And so Musaylimah الكذاب rises as the first
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:53
			false prophet in Islam from that region.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:55
			Now that you saw the map of how
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:58
			encompassing Yamama is, now you can understand the
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:59
			fitna of it.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:02
			When that man claims, I'm a prophet, and
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:05
			starts to spread through that region that actually
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:08
			I'm a prophet of Allah, and I'm gonna
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:12
			control this area, that danger is not a
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13
			small danger.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			So how did Yamama end up in his
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:19
			control and not in Thumama رضي الله تعالى
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:21
			عنه who is actually the king.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:26
			And subhanAllah the narration says that Thumama رضي
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:27
			الله تعالى عنه his skin used to crawl.
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			يَقْشَعِرُ جِلْدُهُ مِن ذِكْرِ مُسَيْلِمَةٍ His skin would
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			crawl when you'd mention Musaylimah رضي الله تعالى
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			عنه like he'd shudder out of anger and
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			disgust towards Musaylimah رضي الله تعالى عنه and
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:37
			what Musaylimah رضي الله تعالى عنه did, the
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			fitna of Musaylimah رضي الله تعالى عنه Of
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			course Musaylimah رضي الله تعالى عنه the Prophet
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			ﷺ when he sent him someone, what did
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:43
			he do?
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:46
			He crucified the man, right?
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:47
			Who brought him the letter.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:50
			Musaylimah رضي الله تعالى عنه sent the first
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			letter to the Prophet ﷺ when he was
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			still alive.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:57
			And it was من مسيلمة رسول الله إلى
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:00
			محمد رسول الله From Musaylimah رضي الله تعالى
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			عنه the Messenger of Allah to Muhammad رضي
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			الله تعالى عنه the Messenger of Allah صلى
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			الله عليه وسلم And he says to the
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:09
			Prophet ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَنِي نَبِيًّا كَمَا بَعَثَكَ
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			نَبِيًّا Allah has sent me as a prophet
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:12
			as he sent you as a prophet.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:17
			فَإِذَا وَصَلَكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَقْسِمِ الْأَرْضَ بَيْنَنَا نَصْفَيْنَ
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			So when my letter gets to you, let's
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			divide the land by two.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:24
			Like this is the declaration to the Prophet
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:24
			ﷺ.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:26
			Hey, I'm a prophet, you're a prophet.
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:29
			And he's implying we could do this the
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:29
			easy way.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			Because he knows the political dynamics that he
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:35
			has the power of that region to turn
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:35
			on the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			I'm a prophet, you're a prophet.
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:40
			Let's go ahead and divide the land in
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:40
			two.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:43
			And we can get this over with.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:43
			Okay.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:50
			And unfortunately, took the region by storm.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:54
			Even though Musaylimah was not an impressive person.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			But you know what?
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			Musaylimah starts to gather the troops, he goes
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:01
			and he starts the fitna, and Thumamah essentially
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			loses his relevance.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:08
			رضي الله عنه إِن يَمَامَ Now Thumamah, if
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:09
			he wasn't sincere in his Islam, he could
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:10
			have said, you know what?
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			We can do this, let's run it back.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:15
			Actually, I can take this man, and so
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:16
			many people are believing in him.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:20
			He may have preserved his kingdom if he
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			supported Musaylimah.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			SubhanAllah, look at the sincerity.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			He might have preserved his kingdom.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			He essentially loses all control and all authority
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:30
			because Musaylimah is taking over the region by
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:31
			storm, right?
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:32
			With his fitna.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			So Thumamah رضي الله عنه stands up, and
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:40
			he says to them, إِيَّاكُمْ وَأَمْرًا مُظْلِمًا لَا
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:43
			نُورَ فِيهِ He was a poetic man.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:47
			He said, beware of a dark affair.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			There's no light in it.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:54
			وَإِنَّهُ لَشَقَاءُ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ أَخَذَ بِهِ
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:57
			مِنْكُمْ And it will be deprivation that Allah
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:01
			will write on you, upon you, if you
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:02
			accept this man's message.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			وَبَلَاءٌ عَلَى مَنْ لَمْ يَأْخُذْ بِهِ مِنْكُمْ يَا
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:09
			بَنِ حَنِيفًا So, this is gonna end in
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:09
			two ways.
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:13
			Those that follow him are gonna suffer from
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			deprivation and punishment from Allah that they don't
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16
			understand.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:18
			And those, if we continue with this, those
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:20
			that oppose him are gonna also be put
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:21
			to a severe trial.
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:23
			This isn't good for us.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:26
			So beware of it, O Banu Hanifa.
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:30
			And he continued to them, and he said,
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:34
			إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا لَا نَبِيَّ مَعَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ He
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36
			said, as for Muhammad SAW, there is no
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:38
			Prophet with him or after him.
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:41
			كَمَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ فِي
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:46
			الْأُلُوهِيَةِهِ Just like Allah has no partner in
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:46
			His Lordship.
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:50
			فَلَا شَرِيكَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَامًا فِي
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53
			نُبُوَّتِهِ There is no partner with the Prophet
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:54
			SAW, his Prophethood.
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56
			Wake up people, he's a Prophet of Allah.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:01
			Now, subhanAllah, when this is happening, what does
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			he then start to quote?
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			Musaylimah had a Quran.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08
			His Quran was ridiculous.
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			Some of the verses actually came down, right?
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:13
			Meaning in history, it got passed down in
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:13
			history.
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:16
			It's Quran about food, right?
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:20
			And just strange poetry that doesn't even follow
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21
			proper grammatical schemes.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24
			You know when Allah SWT says وَإِن كُنْتُمْ
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			فِي رَيْضٍ مِّمَّا That if you are in
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:28
			doubt about what we have sent upon our
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:31
			servant فَأْتُوا بِسُورًا Bring forth a surah or
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:32
			bring forth an ayah, anything.
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:33
			Right?
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			To challenge it and they were unable to.
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:39
			So he brought these strange surahs that rival
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:39
			the claims.
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:43
			So, Thumama is like trying to reason with
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:47
			his people and he says to them أَيْنَ
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:53
			قَوْلُ مُسَيْلَمَ يَا ضُفْدَعُ نَقِّي مَاتِ نَقِّينَ نِصْفُكِ
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:56
			فِي الْمَاءِ وَنِصْفُكِ فِي الْطِينِ لَا الْمَاءُ تُكَدِّرِينَ
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:59
			وَلَا الشَّارِبُ تَمْنَعِينَ He had a surah called
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01
			surah al-Dhufda, the surah of the frog.
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:06
			And the surah was Oh frog, croak and
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:07
			croak as you wish.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:09
			Half of you is in water and half
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:10
			of you is upon land.
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:13
			You do not pollute the water nor do
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:16
			you prohibit the drinker from being able to
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:16
			drink.
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:17
			Like you don't take enough water.
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19
			So, some poetic nonsense.
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:24
			He says, where is this from أَيْنَ هَذَا
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:31
			مِنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَ لَذِي جَاءَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:34
			صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَمَا حَامِيمٌ تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:38
			اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ غَافِرِ الذَّنْبِ وَقَابِرِ الْتَوْبِ شَدِيدِ
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:42
			الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَيْهِ
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:44
			الْمَصِيرِ He reads some ayat from the Qur
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:46
			'an, surah Ghafir, what he knows.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:50
			He says like, are you really comparing surah
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52
			Al-Dhufda to that?
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			Are you really making the claim that this
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:55
			is Qur'an too and that this fits?
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59
			And you know, subhanAllah, like he says what
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			an audacious claim for you to accept a
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:02
			liar like this.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:07
			And you know, he says وَاللَّهِ مَا هَذَا
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09
			مِنْ إِلِ that this is not from إِلْ
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:11
			or إِلِ which is saying Allah like it
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:14
			was their dialect, this is not from God.
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:15
			There is no way that you people actually
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:16
			think this is from God.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:17
			Do you remember when Amr ibn Aas صلى
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19
			الله عليه و سلم if you go back
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			to the Amr ibn Aas lecture Amr ibn
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23
			Aas meets him and he says, Musaylim, I
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:25
			hear that you're a prophet so what's going
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:26
			on with your prophethood?
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:28
			He said, you know, it's going well.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30
			He said, you have some Qur'an?
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:31
			He said yes, so he recited to him
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:34
			these words and Amr ibn Aas said to
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:40
			him وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَعْلَمُ أنّكَ أَكاذِف
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			You know that I know that you know
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45
			that I know that you know that I
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:46
			know you're a liar.
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:48
			Like you're not fooling anybody.
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:51
			You know that I know or I know
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:53
			that you know that I know you're a
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:53
			liar.
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:54
			Actually I got it now.
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:58
			إِنَّي أَعْلَمُ أَنِّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ أَكَذِف
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:00
			You know that I know or I know
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:01
			that you know that I know that you're
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			a liar.
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:03
			Somewhere around there.
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05
			But the point is like we know you're
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			making it up.
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:09
			Right, and he had he gave to Amr
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			al-Aas surat al-feel But his feel
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			was al-feel wa maa adraaka maa al
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			-feel lahoo khurtooman taweel inna dhalika min khalqi
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:19
			rabbina la qaleel Complete nonsense that the elephant
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:21
			let me tell you about the elephant It
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			has a long trunk and how little are
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:25
			the creation of Allah that have long trunks
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:29
			right So so mama's talking to his people
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31
			is like what is wrong with you people
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			because as crazy as it is cults are
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:38
			not Actually sensible Really if you think about
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:41
			the cults of today Like sometimes you look
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:43
			at what a cult leader says and it's
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:47
			ridiculous How did you really believe that nonsense?
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:51
			Right you ask someone who follows a cult
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:51
			leader.
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:53
			Did you really believe that?
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:54
			No, but I like the message that you
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:56
			know He was giving to you know, the
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:58
			people of my region or my color and
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			like I liked his overall message But no,
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:03
			I didn't believe in you know, some octopus
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:05
			that was gonna come and you know Establish
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:07
			the day of judgment or spaceships or that
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			we're gonna I don't I didn't believe in
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:12
			all that but I liked his message Right.
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:14
			So what did they say about?
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:15
			About him.
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:18
			So mama is lecturing his people and they
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:19
			responded to him and they said this is
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:22
			very very powerful They said to him kathabu
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:25
			rabi'a ahabu ilayna min sadiqi mudar or
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:28
			the kathabu bani hanifa The liar of bani
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			hanifa ahabu ilayna min sadiqi Quraysh.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			The liar of bani hanifa is more beloved
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:33
			to us than the truthful one of Quraysh
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:35
			We get it.
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			We know this is Quran and we know
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			that what we have is garbage, but you
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:39
			know what?
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:42
			He's one of us this religion thing seems
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:43
			to be working for him.
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:47
			His cult is growing and unfortunately, it grew
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:49
			and it grew and it grew and it
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:54
			grew until Musaylimah was able to form a
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:58
			a formidable force against the Muslims that was
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			a deep threat right to the entire region
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:04
			and to Islam so mama or the allah
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:06
			-u-tala and what he did was at
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			some point he said I'm leaving you all
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:10
			so he saw the Situation and so he
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:11
			gathered a few of the Muslims that were
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:14
			with him And he went and joined another
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			sahabi by the name of al ala Ibn
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:18
			al-hadrami radi allahu ta'ala anhu who
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:21
			was nearby in the Bahrain area al ala
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:24
			Was the commander to Bahrain and he joined
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:27
			them and he says About that.
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:30
			He says inni wallahi ma'ara an uqeema
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32
			ma'a haa ulaa Wa qad ahdathu, I
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:34
			don't see myself staying with these people after
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:37
			they've innovated in this way wa inna allaha
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:40
			ta'ala la dhaaribuhum bi baliyatin laa yaqoomuna
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:43
			bihaa wa laa yaqoodoon Allah is surely going
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:44
			to strike these people with a test that
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:45
			there's no way they're gonna recover from so
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:48
			he left them and He joined the forces
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:51
			of al ala ibn al-hadrami radi allahu
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:54
			ta'ala anhu to basically fight against his
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:57
			people Right, and that's subhanAllah the way that
		
00:51:57 --> 00:51:58
			this all changes.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:51:59
			This is only by the way four years
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:02
			after Right four years later and he has
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:05
			to join the forces on the outside And
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:06
			he has some poetry that he said da
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:10
			'ana ila tarqid diyanati wal huda musaylamatul kathab
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:13
			iz ja'a yasja'u faya ajaban min
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:17
			ma'sharin qad tataya'u lahu fee sabeelil ghayyi
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:20
			wal ghayyu ashna'u That you know, he
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:23
			called us to to or he's talking about
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:25
			musaylamat He said he called us to abandon
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			religion and guidance What a liar he is
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:30
			and he called us and how strange is
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:32
			it that people follow error?
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:34
			Knowing that the path that follows is far
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:37
			more destructive meaning that they're in trouble.
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:38
			Why are they doing this?
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:40
			I can't understand the logic of my people
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:43
			of doing this and Thumama radi allahu ta
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:45
			'ala anhu Waited on the outside of Yamama
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:47
			and when Khalid ibn al-waleed radi allahu
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:48
			ta'ala anhu arrived.
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:52
			He was introduced to Thumama Fashakara lahu and
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:56
			he thanked him Wa'arafa bihi suhata islamihi
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
			and he knew the goodness of his Islam
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:00
			He thanked him for his sincerity and his
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:02
			honesty and in gathering right some of the
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			Muslims those that choose to stay Muslim and
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:07
			fleeing from the fitna musaylama and then basically
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:10
			Joining the forces to fight against this brutal
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:14
			false prophet who was wreaking havoc on the
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:18
			region All of this to say and and
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:21
			subhanAllah really interesting here I think part of
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:22
			the story and I'll end with this is
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:25
			that where did Thumama radi allahu anhu die?
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:28
			We have no idea How did he die?
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:29
			We have no idea.
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:32
			You could scrape the books of seer Looking
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:36
			for where the man passed away and you
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:37
			cannot find him.
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:41
			This man was That powerful just a few
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:44
			years before that and he left it for
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:47
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala He left it for
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:49
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and when the Prophet
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:50
			sallallahu alayhi wasallam said to flee fitna if
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:53
			you have to Because your religion is more
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:55
			important to you than anything else that if
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:58
			you've got to flee with everything then flee
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			It shows you the sincerity of that man
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:04
			That though he lived a life of kingdom
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:06
			his entire life and wealth his entire life
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:08
			and the man could snap a finger and
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:13
			turn the entire region Into a region of
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15
			fear and paralyze it with his might he'd
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17
			rather meet Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala as an
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:21
			unknown slave somewhere in the mountains and That's
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:22
			how he dies radi allahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:25
			We don't know where he is there's no
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			grave of Thumama radi allahu ta'ala anhu,
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30
			but he goes down in history as This
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:33
			companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam who
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:38
			at some point was The most powerful if
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			or one of the most powerful Muslims in
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:42
			the world the first Muslim to do Umrah
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:45
			in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:47
			wasallam and the man who placed Mecca under
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:51
			boycott and changed the dynamics of the power
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:54
			and the treaty Between the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:57
			wasallam and his oppressors Radi allahu ta'ala
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:58
			anhu may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala be pleased
		
00:54:58 --> 00:55:00
			with him and have mercy on him and
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			allow us to learn from that Allahumma ameen
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:04

00:55:04 --> 00:55:07

00:55:07 --> 00:55:09
			attempts what's left of those who tried to
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:10
			assassinate the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and the
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:12
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam forgave them as well
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:17
			as others like Musaylima, but those that had
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:20
			Had had left their call to false prophethood
		
00:55:20 --> 00:55:23
			after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam So inshallah
