00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu I
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			Merciful All praise is due to Allah, Lord
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			of the worlds There is no title but
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			upon the wrongdoers And the end is for
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			those who are righteous O Allah, bless and
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			bless Your servant and Messenger Muhammad Peace and
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			blessings be upon him and his family and
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			companions Many salutations So alhamdulillah, last week we
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			covered the story of Ka'ab who of
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			course was a poet and we kind of
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:37
			used the story of Ka'ab as a
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			window into the life of the poets that
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			rejected the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and who
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			used to incite against the Messenger of Allah
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam And so we talked about
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			the kindness of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			the grace of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			with those poets, how the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			Wasallam was able to use those poets after
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			they had repented of course this is for
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			the ones who did actually repent Tonight we're
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			going to be covering who in my opinion
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			is probably like the most complicated companion of
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam So just a
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			reminder here we're not talking about companions in
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			order of virtue There are some companions where
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			there are a few paragraphs about them and
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			they are from the earliest of the companions
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam But we're
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			just trying to get dimensions now and windows
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			into the lives of the companions so that
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			if you were to walk into the Masjid
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam what type
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			of people would you encounter and what did
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			they actually represent So when I say tonight
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			is one of the most complicated Muslims because
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			he is the only man that we know
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			that claimed prophethood and then repented Alright, that
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			claimed prophethood and then repented So you have
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:53
			false poets you have warriors, tribal chiefs you
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			have the thumamas of the world and people
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			that rejected the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam for
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			obvious reasons, political reasons but imagine a man
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			claiming prophethood and then repenting to Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			Wa Ta'ala and it's really a remarkable
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			story that we have but before we get
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			to him I want to actually speak about
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			this dimension InshaAllah Ta'ala So first and
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			foremost we start with the hadith of the
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam where he said لا
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:25
			تقوم الساعة حتى ينبعث دجالون كذابون قريب من
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			ثلاثين The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			the hour will not be established until you
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:37
			have nearly 30 lying dajjals 30 dajjals that
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			will be lying What will they be lying
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			about?
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			قال صلى الله عليه وسلم كلهم يزعموا أنه
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			رسول الله Every single one of those dajjals
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			will claim that they are a messenger of
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			Allah that they are a prophet of Allah
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			and there is no prophet after me Now
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			throughout history you have scholars that will sort
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			of categorize those people that have claimed prophethood
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			from the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			Wasallam to their time Obviously you have people
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			SubhanAllah and I say this not to be
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			diminishing or condescending but you have many people
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			that might have a mental disorder that would
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			claim all sorts of things about themselves I
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			mean I've met people in my own life
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			that have claimed everything from Dhul Qarnayn to
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			the Mahdi to a prophet and I don't
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			mock them They're people who Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			ta'ala we hope has raised the pen
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			from They're not people that we would actually
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			look at as punishable or sinful in any
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			way because this is simply their mental state
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			But these people would have to be people
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			who actually were able to amass movements around
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:42
			their claim to prophethood And you can find
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			throughout history these attempts and of course all
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			the way from the time of the Prophet
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam until even recent history with
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			deviant movements that have people that claim to
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			be prophets of Allah and claim that Khataman
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			Nabiyeen that the seal of prophethood does not
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			mean the final prophet There can still be
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			a prophet after him and that will use
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			mental gymnastics to try to create room for
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			another prophet of Allah So the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Alaihi Wasallam said that there will be about
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			30 of them before the Day of Judgment
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			And subhanAllah you could trace around that number
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			from the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			Wasallam until now false prophets who were able
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:24
			to actually amass a significant set of followers
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			Now the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used the
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			word Dajjalun that they are Dajjala they are
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			people who are liars and deceivers But what
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			makes Al-Masih Dajjal the Antichrist, the Ad
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			-Dajjal so different and so significant is what?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			Can anyone tell me?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			What makes him different from these people?
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			He claims to be Allah himself So some
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			of the scholars said he initially doesn't come
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			outward and claim to be God himself claim
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			to be Allah himself He might use tricks
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			in the beginning and he might even start
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			with Rasulullah like claiming to be a messenger
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			of Allah But at some point Al-Masih
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			Dajjal May Allah protect us from his fitna
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			will claim to be God himself Right?
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			Will claim to be Allah himself making him
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			the most dangerous of all of the claimants
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			that are to come So this sin is
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			not like any sin Right?
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			It literally involves Kufr of the highest order
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			And Allah SWT says in Surah Al-An
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			'am Verse 93 وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنَ اَفْتَرَىٰ عَلَىٰ
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ قَالَ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُوحَىٰ
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			إِلَيْهِ شَيْئًا Right?
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Who is worse?
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			Who is a greater transgressor than the one
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			who attributes a lie to Allah SWT or
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			who says that revelation has come to me
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			and nothing has come to them of revelation
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			So it's actually in the Quran the gravity
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			of the sin of claiming to be a
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			prophet, claiming to be someone who receives revelation
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			Imam bin Taymiyyah RA said من ادعى النبوة
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			وهو كاذب Those that claim to be prophets
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			while they are liars فَهُوَ مِنْ أَكْثَرِ الْكُفَارِ
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:05
			وَأَظْلَمِ الظَّالِمِينَ That whoever claims to be a
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			prophet is of the worst of the disbelievers
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			The most disbelieving of the disbelievers is someone
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			who claims to be a prophet And the
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			most, you know, transgressing or the greatest oppressor
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			amongst the oppressors is the one who claims
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			to be a prophet of Allah Now obviously
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			what all of this will do is help
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			you appreciate what Abu Bakr as-Siddiq RA
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			inherited Right?
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			عام الوفود is the year the year of
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			delegation right before the Prophet ﷺ passes away
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			and tribes are coming to the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			to embrace Islam Some tribes, there is no
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			doubt are merely reading the political situation They
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			live sort of in between the major states
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			the major hubs of power and they ally
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			themselves to those hubs of power in hopes
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			that they too can benefit from that power
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			Some of them are undoubtedly insincere in their
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:00
			Islam Right?
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			They're reading this as the best political move
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			to come to the Prophet ﷺ and to
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			embrace Islam in this regard because right now,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			he has become the dominant force in the
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			region Once the Prophet ﷺ passes away عليه
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			الصلاة والسلام and it wasn't long after عام
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			الوفود, after the year of delegation Abu Bakr
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			RA has a lot on his hands Why?
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			Because this is the perfect opportunity for this
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			tribal leader who used to oppose the Prophet
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			ﷺ and who was trying to preserve their
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			idols Now idol worship is gone This was
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			never about theology Now I need to build
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			on the dominant power structure which is tawhid
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			It's not idolism anymore It's not idolatry anymore
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			It's tawhid, it's monotheism So I want to
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			build on the dominant power structure So what
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			better way to say I'm an extension of
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			the Prophet ﷺ, I too am a Prophet
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			of Allah So it becomes a ploy and
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			a trick for tribal chiefs who never really
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			had Islam settle in their hearts to say
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			okay, I have a new way, a new
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			trick a new sorcery, right to claim power
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			in the region Several factors are working against
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			Abu Bakr RA Number one, you've got to
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			think about the fact that like people didn't
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			really understand the concept of a Nabi the
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			concept of God and Prophethood that much, if
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			they're living disconnected from everything, like these are
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			very vague concepts and Islam is meant to
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			be simple Tawhid, the idea of the oneness
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			of God and Prophets that were sent by
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			that one God can be understood even by
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			a Bedouin in the desert But at the
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			same time to manipulate that concept with them
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			wasn't that hard Right?
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			They didn't know the Prophet ﷺ, many of
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			them never got to live with the Prophet
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			ﷺ, they never got that first hand exposure
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			of the Prophet ﷺ for Iman to really
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			settle in their hearts and some of them
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			fell for it that you know what, sure
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			there's one God, this man is now saying
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			that he too is a messenger of Allah
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:00
			but he's not changing anything fundamentally about the
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			idea of one God which was something that
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			had settled into the hearts of many people,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:10
			so it's expedience it's power and there are
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			many reasons for you to oppose now you
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			know Abu Bakr RA and the Khilafah in
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19
			Medina Your tribe might not like Quraysh and
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			the Prophet ﷺ is Qurayshi, Abu Bakr RA
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			is Qurayshi, so you might now reject Islam
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			for that reason or a tribe that you're
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:34
			fighting is allied to Quraysh or Medina as
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			a power structure, this Medina to Nabi, this
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			idea of this being the command center annoys
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			you, bothers you we can't deal with this
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			type of a power structure and we'd rather
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			find another thing or we simply don't want
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			to pay Zakah right, which is why Abu
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			Bakr RA was so strict on the idea
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			of Zakah, because if you let up on
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			a pillar of Islam here right, in a
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			systematic fashion you lose it all and that's
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			why Abu Bakr RA said to me I'm
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			not paying Zakah, it's just like them not
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			praying Salah, like this is at the core
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			of the religion, Zakah is like Salah, it's
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			a pillar of Islam some of them said
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			the Prophet ﷺ is dead we don't want
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			to pay Zakah anymore in any case it
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			helps you appreciate how Abu Bakr RA has
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			to solidify this in a matter of just
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			two years right, Islam is very volatile outside
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:29
			of Medina, right and outside of Mecca in
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			this regard so the first person who claims
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			prophethood, we've spoken about him significantly already, is
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			Musaylim Al-Kadhab the great liar Musaylim Al
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			-Kadhab and he's not only a false prophet,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			he's a murderer he is someone who is
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			viciously brutalizing the companions of the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			and because of where he's situated, remember we
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			talked about Thumama RA and that area of
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			An-Najd, because of where he's situated, he
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			can garner that same type of power envelope
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:04
			that once suffocated Mecca on behalf of the
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			Prophet ﷺ okay, so he can consolidate power
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			amongst those tribes and he does consolidate a
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:16
			significant amount of power amongst those tribes and
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			he wages war against the Muslims in many
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			ways now the thing about him is that
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:25
			he also gave people ideas right, it's you
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			know he's the first person to really come
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			up with this scheme, alright let me just
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			claim that I'm a prophet just like Muhammad
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			ﷺ and now that Muhammad ﷺ is dead,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38
			he can't really negate my prophethood right, now
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			he negated the Prophet of Musaylimah while he
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			was still alive ﷺ but others can start
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			to make that claim now so they've got
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			a scheme, they've got a game here that
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			they can play based upon Musaylimah al-Kadhab
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			so as the scholars mentioned he bears the
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			punishment of all of the false prophets after
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			him because he's the one that came up
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			with this idea of being a false prophet,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			Musaylimah claiming to be Rasulullah after Muhammad Rasulullah
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:10
			ﷺ now just quickly because there are only
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			two of them two of these false prophets
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:17
			that actually died Muslim one of them is
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			Tulayha who we're going to speak about in
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			detail tonight, so this is all just a
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			build up to Tulayha so that you can
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			understand the environment of Tulayha another person is
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			a woman by the name of Sajjah bint
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:33
			al-Harith alright now Sajjah bint al-Harith
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			is not someone who ever meets the Prophet
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41
			ﷺ, there's no thubut no firm evidence nothing
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			establishing a meeting between her and the Prophet
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:46
			ﷺ, she is a Christian woman, she's a
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			poet a Christian woman and she is from
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			a very powerful family her father is a
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			chief of Banu Tamim her mother is from
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			Taghlib basically if you go about a hundred
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:04
			miles behind Yamama towards al-Iraq about a
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			hundred kilometers, not miles you have this entire
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:11
			region which is controlled by her tribe alright,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			Banu Tamim and you really start to understand
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			when the Prophet ﷺ describes the horn of
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			the devil the fitna coming from that direction
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			almost all the false prophets are coming from
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			that direction from the direction of Iraq Najd
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			is in the direction of Iraq so she
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			has a very powerful father the chief of
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			the tribe, very powerful mother they kind of
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			control the region she's beautiful she's a poet
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			and again poetry is the sorcery of the
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			Arabs and so she, I mean this is
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			like, by the way, probably the worst conception
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			of women's empowerment in history she said, if
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			all these men can claim to be prophets,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			why can't a woman be a false prophet
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			too?
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			so talk about like the most twisted feminism
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			you've ever seen in history you've got male
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			false prophets, hey, wait a minute I want
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			to be a false prophet too let me
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			claim nubuwwah as well so that I can
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			join the party so what does she do?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			she actually claims to be a prophet she's
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			got the power structure of both of her
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			parents, and she's got a big region, and
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			it's kind of caving in on Abu Bakr
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			ﷺ from that side, right because you've already
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			got Musaylimah the problem of Musaylimah, now you
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:31
			have this problem developing behind him and she
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			manages to gather about four or five thousand
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			followers and she's also thinking purely like opportunism
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			here, like this is purely a political ploy
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			for her never met the Prophet ﷺ, there
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			is no there's no theology here this is
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			merely, jump on the bandwagon, and she's powerful
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			enough, she's got the look, she's got the
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			speech she's got the power, political power, she's
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			powerful enough to be the first fake female
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:02
			prophet alright, it gets more interesting because she
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			says, you know what Musaylimah, he's got a
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			big army and he's claiming to be a
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			prophet, what better than two false prophets to
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			get together Musaylimah hears of her beauty, you've
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			got to be a particular type of weird
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			to be doing this type of stuff, right
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:21
			Musaylimah burns incense in his home, tries to
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			seduce her she comes into his home to
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			meet him to discuss the proposition of two
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			prophets joining forces against Medina, against Abu Bakr
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			radiyallahu anhu, it is as silly as it
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:37
			sounds, right, and remember Musaylimah's Qur'an, how
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			silly and garbage it was so she asks
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			him to recite some Qur'an so he
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			recites some stuff about women some romance fake
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:51
			Qur'an from Musaylimah to Sajjah Sajjah Sajjah
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			says, alright I know he's a liar but
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			at the same time he has a lot
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			of power a lot of followers so she
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			goes back to her people and she says
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			alright, I think I'm going to get together
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06
			with Musaylimah and the first prophet, male prophet
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			and the first female prophet after the Prophet
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam will get married and we'll
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			have a whole thing, alright it gets even
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			weirder they say, well what's the mahr so
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			she goes back to Musaylimah and says, what's
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:23
			the mahr Musaylimah says, cancel Fajr and Isha'
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			for your people so he cancelled two Salahs
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			as a mahr for her it just keeps
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			getting weirder by the way, I could stay
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:35
			with this story and the details don't get
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			any more flattering and it shows you how
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			crazy these people have become and how drunk
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			with power they are and just trying to
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:45
			shut down Islam or take over and you
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			gotta keep in mind, these people are coming
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			from idolatry, they used to just make gods
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			when they felt like it and they controlled
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			power based upon how they could fashion their
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			gods and use those idols to command power
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			so if they could do that with God
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			himself of course they could do that with
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			the concept of prophethood and nabuwa as well
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:09
			so Musaylimah marries Sajjah, now what happens is
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			that once Khalid ibn al-Walid radiyallahu anhu
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:17
			defeats Musaylimah she flees what's very interesting about
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			her is that she goes to al-Iraq
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			she flees to al-Iraq and then later
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:28
			on later on, she repents she becomes a
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			Muslim woman they say hasuna islamah like when
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			Islam actually came to Iraq and she actually
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			understood what Islam was because remember, she never
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			actually interacted with Islam before she actually became
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			a Muslim and she actually died as a
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			Muslimah and janazah was prayed on her in
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			Basra, in Iraq and her janazah was led
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			by Samurah ibn Jundab radiyallahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			a companion of the prophet salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:58
			sallam so subhanallah the first female fake prophet
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			who was married to Musaylimah the worst false
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:06
			prophet in the history of Islam repented to
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			Allah died a Muslim and a companion led
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:14
			her janazah in Iraq subhanallah now, if you
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			notice I'm not saying radiyallahu anha why?
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			it's not because of the gravity of her
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			crying it's because she doesn't meet the status
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			of a companion because she never met the
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam as a Muslim,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			so there's no dispute about that part of
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			things, right?
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			you have to be considered you can't be
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			in a discussion about being a companion unless
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			you met the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			as a Muslim so, in any case she's
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:41
			not a companion but at the same time
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			the books, the scholars will say may Allah
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			forgive her and be pleased with her because
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			at the end of the day, she repented
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala perhaps she
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			had no idea what this affair was, what
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			Islam was when she joined in that evil
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			plot of hers and once she kind of
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			understood it she went to herself retired into
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			a corner in Iraq prayed to Allah subhanahu
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			wa ta'ala for forgiveness فغفر الله لها
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			ورحمه الله may Allah forgive her and have
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:10
			mercy upon her now with that, we introduce
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:14
			the second greatest fitna in this regard and
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:19
			his name is Tulayha ibn Khuwaylid ibn Nawfal
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:23
			al-Asadi Tulayha ibn Khuwaylid ibn Nawfal al
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			-Asadi so we're going to talk about Tulayha
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			tonight and we're going to spend some time
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:31
			with Tulayha ibn Khuwaylid now really interesting about
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			him so first of all his name, Tulayha
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			is the tasgheer, it's the diminutive of talha
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			so the name Tulayha is like smaller talha
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			really interesting about him is that even though
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			his name is Khuwaylid Nawfal al-Asadi, he
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:50
			has no relationship to Khadija radiyallahu anha ibn
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:55
			Khuwaylid whose brother was Nawfal and from Banu
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			Asad it's an entirely different Banu Asad so
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:03
			he belongs to another Banu Asad all together
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			there's Banu Asad of Quraysh which is the
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			tribe of our mother Khadija radiyallahu ta'ala
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			anha and then there is Banu Asad of
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			Najd so he's from the same area as
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:19
			Musaylim al-Kaddhab alright and he is a
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			powerful chief of his people as well so
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:25
			he's a chief of Najd he is extremely
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:29
			wealthy he has a great presence he's closer
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			to Medina he's situated closer to Medina than
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			Musaylima, then he's not as far as Yamama,
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			he's between Yamama and Medina is where you
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			have that Banu Asad and when he hears
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:45
			about the Prophet ﷺ initially he opposes Islam
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			very early on so he was actually allied
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			to Quraysh in Mecca, similar to Thumama radiyallahu
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			ta'ala anha, right he was allied to
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:56
			Quraysh in Mecca and so he aids Mecca
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:00
			for several years in trying to fight the
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			Prophet ﷺ and squashes Saman al-Madina so
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			he's not neutral he is aiding in the
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:10
			skirmishes for several years basically from Uhud onwards
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:15
			until the death of the Prophet ﷺ if
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			you remember in the battle of Khandaq they
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			amassed this huge army Al-Ahzab, right of
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			different tribes and all these different battalions to
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			try to crush Islam in Medina so he
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			actually participated his tribe, whether he himself was
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33
			present or not, his tribe participated in Al
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			-Ahzab against the Muslims in Medina, so they
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:40
			were actively in battle with the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			and even in Khaybar Tuleyha tried to agitate
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			from the outside against the Prophet ﷺ all
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			of this without having met the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			at the end of the day these people
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			were beholden to a certain narrative about the
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			messenger of Allah ﷺ largely coming from Mecca
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			they dominated the airwaves, they dominated the media
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			of the time, and they had fed these
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			people this propaganda that the Prophet ﷺ was
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			a threat that he was coming to destroy
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			idols and tribes and break up families and
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:16
			so he bought it Tuleyha is one of
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			those people who will come to the Prophet
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			ﷺ in Aam al-Wafut in what's known
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			as the year of the delegation so again,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			ninth year after Hijrah tribes are coming from
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			all over to embrace Islam with the Prophet
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:33
			ﷺ and there's a very specific ayah of
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			Quran that now will inshaAllah ta'ala, will
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:41
			hopefully have this background to enrich it a
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			bit for you when you read it Banu
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			Asad when they came to the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:52
			they were ten men amongst them a man
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			by the name of Dharar ibn al-Azwar
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			al-Asadi radhiAllahu anhu if you haven't watched
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			it yet please go back and watch the
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			documentary I filmed in Jordan about the plague
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:06
			of Amwas, the companions who died as shuhada
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			in the plague of Amwas, so Dharar radhiAllahu
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:13
			anhu goes on to become basically Khalid radhiAllahu
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			anhu's right hand man and he is one
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			of the most righteous of the companions, one
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			of the most righteous warriors that you will
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			find later on, but right now he's from
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			the same tribe as Tulaiha he's from Banu
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			Asad of Najd, he's coming to the Prophet
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			ﷺ to embrace Islam on this year, so
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			you have Dharar ibn al-Azwar, you have
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			a man by the name of Wabisa ibn
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:39
			Ma'bad, you have Tulaiha to get to
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			the point here, of the ten men the
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			chief of them at the time or the
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:46
			person that was speaking prior to Tulaiha was
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:50
			Hadrami ibn Aamir Hadrami ibn Aamir and he
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			said to the Prophet ﷺ as he comes
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			to meet him in the masjid with these
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			other nine men some tribes eager, some tribes
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:02
			not so eager, some tribes very sincere some
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:07
			tribes politically opportunistic, so he says to the
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			Prophet ﷺ as he has the nine men
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:13
			with him, he says Ya Rasulullah, ataynaka natadarra
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:17
			'u allayla albahima fee sanatin shahba'a, that
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			we have come to you under the dark
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			stars, like meaning in the darkest of nights,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			it was a difficult journey to get to
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:28
			you, in a difficult season, like we went
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			through a lot to come to you walam
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			tabAAaf ilayna baAAafa, and you didn't even send
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			us a messenger, you didn't send us an
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			ambassador, what's he trying to do?
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			He's trying to garner favour with the Prophet
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			ﷺ to say we went through a lot
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			to come to you and to become Muslim,
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			so next time you read the ayah in
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			surah al-hujurat where Allah ﷻ says at
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			the very end of surah al-hujurat yamunoon
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:58
			alayka an aslamoo, qulla tamunoo alayya islamakum, balillahu
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			yamunoo alaykum an hadakum lil-eemani in kuntum
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:05
			sadiqi that they try to impress upon you
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:09
			this favour, like we became Muslim and we
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			have embraced faith and Allah is saying to
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			the Prophet ﷺ to say to them, look
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			basically you're not doing me a favour you're
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			not doing us a favour by becoming Muslim
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:24
			do not boast about your Islam or confer
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			this upon us as if it's a favour
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:29
			that you're doing towards us, rather Allah has
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			a favour upon you by guiding you to
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:36
			Islam if you are truthful, in kuntum sadiqi
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			right, and it kind of gives you some
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			more understanding of like what's happening with the
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			Bedouin tribes at the end of surah al
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:48
			-hujurat, right aslamna, we became Muslim wait until
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			iman enters into your heart, right there is
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			a process here and especially for a tribe
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			like this that's really just reading the politics
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			of the situation don't sit there and say
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			you owe us a favour because we became
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			Muslim there are people around the world that
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			would do anything to come to the Prophet
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			ﷺ and embrace Islam, and if they lost
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			every limb of their body in order to
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			come to the Prophet ﷺ and have that
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:17
			opportunity to have faith then it would be
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			worth it for them, so you're not doing
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:22
			Allah any favours when you make yourself out
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			to be Muslim, or when you say that
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			we've become believers so throw that to the
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			side so next time you read surah al
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:31
			-hujurat think of Tulayha and this group of
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:34
			men that came to the Prophet ﷺ braving
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			the dark night in a difficult year and
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			saying that no one was even sent to
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			us and Allah عز و جل saying you
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			should be grateful that Islam came to you,
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			right not that we should be grateful to
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			you for becoming Muslim, in any case Tulayha
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			assumes the power and when he heard the
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			Prophet ﷺ was dying and he heard about
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			what Musaylimah al-Kadhab was doing, Musaylimah who
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			is not too far away from him, again
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:07
			he's situated between Musaylimah and Muhammad ﷺ he
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			basically thought to himself, you know what pretty
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			good idea I can do the same thing
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			we've got a region, we've got a layer
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:19
			where we can assemble enough tribes and I
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			will claim to be a Prophet of Allah
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			so Tulayha brings together Banu Asad, he brings
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:31
			together Ghatafan, another tribe and the chief of
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			Ghatafan is a man by the name of
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			Uyayn ibn Hussain who says, you know what
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			a living Prophet is better than a dead
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:41
			Prophet for trying to garner more power so
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			the Prophet ﷺ is dead, I don't really
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			believe him, I don't really take him too
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			seriously but at the end of the day,
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			an opportunity here, right, let me jump on
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:52
			this bandwagon and join with him, since we
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			have a living Prophet that's still amongst us
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			and he's more friendly to us, and then
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			who else, some of the Hawazin from Ta
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			'if, subhanAllah they're still giving the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:07
			a hard time they joined forces with Tulayha
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:12
			ibn Khuwaylid Banu Qayy we will talk about
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			Adiyy ibn Hatim radiyallahu ta'ala anhu, who
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:18
			tried to stop Qayy from apostatizing from leaving
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			and he was successful for the most part
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			in actually taking people away from the fitna
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:29
			of Tulayha so Tulayha is a nasty false
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			Prophet what makes him so complicated he's not
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35
			too far away from Medina he also is
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			a poet he's also strong, he's a notable
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			horseman, he is favorable to many of the
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:45
			tribes that are around and so he starts
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			his fitna and his fitna was not an
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:51
			easy one alright, and perhaps only the fitna
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			of Musaylimah was greater than his fitna, so
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			he's not, he's no small business here now
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			he's claiming to be a Prophet so he
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			has to come up with some miracles so
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			he starts coming up with some feats some
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:05
			visual deception to try to show that he's
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			a Prophet and also Dhirar ibn al-Azwar
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:13
			radiyallahu anhu, the righteous man right he tried
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16
			to strike him and his sword did not
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			kill him, it broke on his armor and
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			he said that was the only time Dhirar
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			ever missed, radiyallahu anhu, in battle you go
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			back and watch the documentary, I mean again
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			Dhirar is a person who was unbelievable, unmatched
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
			in his war craft, right so the fact
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			that that happened, he said alright, something is
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			up with this man Tulayha, special armor whatever
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:40
			it is, special horses seems to make sense
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:46
			now subhanallah every false Prophet I want this
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			to be as real to us as possible
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:51
			by the way every single person who is
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:55
			a deviant right like that deviates from the
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:59
			text in a massive way is going to
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			remove some of the most inconvenient practices of
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			Islam to the people that's why every single
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			person who denies Hadith from the thinkers of
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			the day will end up removing chunks of
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			the deen that make people say you know
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			what I kind of like that message we
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			don't have to do this we don't have
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			to do that, they're appealing in every age,
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			they're appealing in every generation add to that
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			charisma I mean, hey we don't have to
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:29
			pray five times a day anymore right, riba
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			is not haram anymore, we always get these
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			types right, just remove chunks of the deen
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			making it more appealing to people who want
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			to believe because of fitrah, but at the
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			same time, they're not ready to fully commit
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			and it's convenient to have someone that removes
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			the most inconvenient parts of the deen right,
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:50
			so that is always true, like Musaylimah, who
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			mashallah is his mahr, right, cancelled Fajr and
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			Isha, Tuleyha has to come up, his advisors
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			tell him you got to come up with
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			something to ease things for people, like if
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			you want to make your message more appealing
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			you got to remove something from the religion,
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:09
			so Tuleyha sends a message to Medina through
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:22
			his brother Salma, and the message says verily
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			God does not command you to put your
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:28
			faces in the dirt in your prostration or
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			to bend your backs like bows when you
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			go into your prayer you could do your
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:37
			salah standing up make it quick and that's
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			good enough for you with that makes halal
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			a lot of things, so both him and
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:44
			Musaylimah, like conveniently right, not only do they
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:48
			remove zakah remove alcohol, remove some other things
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			too, very appealing to some of these tribes
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			that are trying to find themselves in the
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:59
			politics of the day, so here he is,
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			and what makes him also a little bit
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:04
			more potent than Musaylimah right now is he's
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			also a really good poet, Musaylimah sounded like
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			an idiot when he spoke people knew his
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			Quran was weird and it was like even
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			his own people made fun of him but
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			he was actually very eloquent he's a horseman
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:20
			so what happens to Tuleyha at this point
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			as the enemy of Abu Bakr radiallahu ta
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:26
			'ala anhu and the Muslims there's a battle
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29
			known as the battle of Buzakha the battle
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:33
			of Buzakha Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			sends Khalid and Waleed radiallahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:38
			with a group into that region right, to
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40
			basically start to fight Al-Murtadin, that's why
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			it's called Hurub al-Ridda, the apostate battles,
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46
			because it wasn't one battle like Khalid radiallahu
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			ta'ala anhu had to clean up a
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			lot of what was happening in that area
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:56
			and even though Musaylimah precedes Tuleyha in calling
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59
			to his message Tuleyha is on the way
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			to Musaylimah, so Khalid radiallahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			before the battle of Yamamah, the very famous
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			battle against Musaylimah al-Kaddab in the year
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			11 AH, so right after the death of
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:14
			the Prophet ﷺ he meets the army of
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			Tuleyha ibn Khuwaylid for what is known as
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			the battle of Buzakha, Khalid only had 6
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:25
			,000 men Tuleyha had about 35,000 men,
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29
			so it's actually a significant outnumbering here, Tuleyha
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:33
			has consolidated at that point significant power, right
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:37
			to fight against the Muslims before the battle
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:43
			starts Tuleyha and his brother Salmah, they are
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:47
			confronted by two of the greatest companions of
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:52
			the Prophet ﷺ one of them Ukasha radiallahu
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:56
			ta'ala anhu Ukasha bin Mihsan and I
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:59
			remind you about Ukasha radiallahu anhu this is
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			the man who is famous for the very
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:05
			famous hadith Sabaqa biha Ukasha, Ukasha beats you
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			to it because when the Prophet ﷺ said
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08
			that there is a group of people that
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			will enter Jannah without any form of questioning
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			any form of accountability, no punishment Ukasha said
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			Ya Rasulullah, make dua that I am amongst
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			them the Prophet ﷺ said, you are amongst
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			them, another man said it the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:24
			said Sabaqa biha Ukasha Ukasha beats you to
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27
			it Ukasha is that man he is one
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29
			of the people radiallahu anhu who enters into
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			Jannah without any questioning on the day of
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			judgement may Allah make us amongst them, Allahumma
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:36
			ameen say it with your heart by the
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			way, ameen may Allah make us amongst those
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			people have husn al-dhan and Allah subhanahu
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41
			wa ta'ala have a good assumption of
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:44
			Allah when you ask Ukasha is also a
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:47
			companion from Badr onwards, he is from one
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			of the companions that fought alongside the Prophet
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			ﷺ from the very beginning every battle with
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:55
			the Prophet ﷺ so Ukasha and then another
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			companion by the name of Thabit ibn Arqam
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:02
			radiallahu anhu Thabit ibn Arqam also an Ansari
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			companion who was with the Prophet ﷺ from
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			Badr onwards and if you go back to
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:10
			the battle of Mu'tah remember when the flag
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:13
			fell from Zaid and then Ja'far and
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:16
			Abdullah ibn Rawaha Thabit was the one in
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:20
			Mu'tah who picked up the banner and was
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			the one who put it in the hand
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:25
			of Khalid radiallahu ta'ala anhu so he
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:28
			is a noble companion why am I talking
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:33
			about their virtue Tulayha and his brother killed
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:39
			Ukasha and Thabit radiallahu anhu so they managed
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:42
			to kill two major companions of the Prophet
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:47
			ﷺ and then Khalid radiallahu anhu once the
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:51
			battle commenced Khalid radiallahu ta'ala anhu was
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			able to defeat the army of Tulayha with
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:55
			a much smaller number of people which was
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:58
			par Khalid that's what Khalid radiallahu anhu used
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			to do right, I mean he is usually
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:03
			outnumbered subhanallah, it's rare to find Khalid not
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			outnumbered by at least 7-8 times the
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			size but he always finds a way and
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:10
			he is in Tulayha's territory but he managed
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:13
			to attack from different directions and basically he
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:17
			sent Tulayha running to Ashsham, so Tulayha fled
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:20
			the battlefield and actually fled the entire region
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22
			where did he go?
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:26
			he went to the same place where Mu'tah
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:31
			happens in Jordan, modern day Jordan and lived
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:36
			amongst the Ghassasina and basically you know, stayed
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:42
			there plot twist now I'll introduce to you
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:49
			the other Tulayha Imam al-Zahabi rahimahullah has
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			a chapter of him in Sir al-Alam
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53
			an-Nubula of the most noble people that
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:57
			lived, and his title is al-Batal al
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			-Karraru sahibu rasulillahi sallallahu alayhi wasallam wa man
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:05
			yudrabu bi shaja'atihi al-mathal the steadfast
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:08
			warrior, the companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:13
			wasallam whose bravery was legendary and people made
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:18
			parables to the bravery of this man Tulayha
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:23
			ibn Khuwailid radiyallahu anhu and you go, how?
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			how?
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:29
			like I get someone like Abu Sufyan even
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			those are hard they fought the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:35
			alayhi wasallam for 20 years and they called
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			him a liar, but come on a false
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:43
			prophet a serious false prophet with this much
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:47
			fitna, how in the world do we begin
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:51
			to wrap our minds around this person's repentance
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:56
			so what happens to him Tulayha has escaped
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:01
			the danger of what has happened and some
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:05
			time passes and he actually reads about Islam
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:10
			he actually comes to learn about Islam and
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:16
			he realizes how deeply he wronged himself and
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18
			he comes to his senses and he goes
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			to the Muslims that he can find and
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			he says do you think Allah would accept
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:28
			me I mean, this is complicated right you're
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:31
			not just a normal guy there is no
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:35
			precedent to a false prophet coming back to
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:42
			Islam murtad an apostate disbeliever qatir al sahaba
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:46
			murder the sahaba, organize armies against Medina, against
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			the Khilafah on top of that, false prophet
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:53
			you have a lot working against you so
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			what does he do, he writes a letter
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:56
			to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq radiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:59
			and in it is a poem and it's
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:04
			a powerful poem, and I'll read it he
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:18
			says so
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:23
			he says that I regret the murder of
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:27
			Thabit and Akasha and Maabad and every single
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			incident, every single time I fought against you
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			and he said, and greater than all of
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:35
			that in terms of crime was my inability
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			to see the beauty of Islam was my
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:50
			stubbornness in rejection of Islam so
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:54
			he says and I left my homeland amongst
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:59
			all of these trials I was driven away
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			though I was never a fugitive before, meaning
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			before Islam I was never a fugitive but
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:06
			now here I am, a fugitive from my
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:09
			own homeland and this is where he starts
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:18
			to address Abu Bakr directly so
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:22
			would al-Siddiq, Abu Bakr accept my return
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:27
			and that I have actually renounced all of
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:36
			those actions that I committed and
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:41
			that after my being astray, I am bearing
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:45
			witness that I am actually bearing witness to
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:49
			the truth and I am not turning away
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:59
			from it that indeed the
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:02
			lord of the people and my lord is
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and I am
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:08
			a humiliated person that's coming back and recognizing
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			that the deen is the deen of Muhammad
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:20
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and if I am
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			not going to be accepted then I can't
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:23
			run away to Asham and I can't run
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26
			away to the Romans, I can't run away
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:29
			from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on any
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:34
			occasion and in any way because on this
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			day or tomorrow, at some point Allah is
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			going to take me back to him so
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			I have nowhere to run, if you are
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			not going to accept me, if Allah is
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			not going to accept me I have nowhere
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			to run even though now I am bearing
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:50
			witness to the truth and he says and
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			I was not but a disbeliever and a
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:58
			hypocrite and I was not a Jew or
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:09
			a Christian and then he says he
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:13
			said but the devil Iblis cast a fitna
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16
			onto my heart that made me the most
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:19
			miserable person and I failed to uphold my
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:22
			covenant my promise when I said la ilaha
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:25
			illallah muhammad rasulallah the first time tough one
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:31
			you are still tulayha ibn khuwaylid but Abu
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34
			Bakr radiallahu ta'ala anhu he read the
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			letter and he said I think he is
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:39
			sincere I think he is actually telling the
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:44
			truth now here is the thing tulayha says
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:47
			I was too shy to show my face
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			to Abu Bakr after what I did to
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:49
			him because at the end of the day
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu he was in direct
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			war with Abu Bakr he was gathering an
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55
			army raising an army against Abu Bakr as
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:58
			-Siddiq radiallahu anhu so I didn't know what
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:59
			to do and I was too shy to
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:01
			actually see Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:04
			on top of that Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:08
			reasonably so put a moratorium on apostates who
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			came back to Islam from fighting for the
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:14
			Muslims, meaning what if you join Musaylimah if
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			you join tulayha, if you join al-Aswad
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			al-Ansi if you join Sajjah, if you
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			join one of these false prophets, if you
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			were a murtad if you were an apostate
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			and you just came back to Islam, your
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:26
			tawbah might be accepted but stay away for
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:29
			now, it's too risky to the army, to
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31
			the Muslim army to place these people within
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			the army itself, so I'm not saying your
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:36
			tawbah is not accepted, but I'm not going
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			to accept you as part of this army
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:40
			so that was Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu's moratorium
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:42
			Umar radiallahu anhu later on when he felt
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			it safe to do so, removed that, meaning
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:46
			at that point, Hurub al-Ridda were over,
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:48
			people had come back to Islam, those that
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			would remain upon hypocrisy showed their hypocrisy at
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:53
			this point those that would have repented, would
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:56
			have repented at that point, but tulayha says
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58
			I was making my way to Abu Bakr
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00
			and I was slow because I was afraid
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:01
			to show my face to him, I was
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:04
			too shy to show my face after what
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:08
			I did, so imagine going to Hajj the
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:11
			next year, and you see tulayha in ihram
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:14
			saying labbayk Allahumma labbayk and doing tawaf around
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:19
			the Ka'bah, strange sight, strange sight, especially
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:23
			for someone who is directly hurt by that
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:27
			fitna Umar radiallahu anhu, this was his first
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:29
			Hajj as the khalifa after Abu Bakr radiallahu
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:31
			anhu, so Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu passed away
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:35
			Umar radiallahu ta'ala anhu sees him in
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:38
			Hajj, in his ihram, saying labbayk Allahumma labbayk
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:42
			and praying, and you know, like the scene
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			of him in Arafah, and the scene of
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:47
			him, it's a strange thing to see so
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			he came to Umar radiallahu anhu to give
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:50
			him salam, and Umar radiallahu anhu did not
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:53
			want to give him salam and Umar radiallahu
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:58
			anhu was extremely angry with him right, and
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:01
			he says to him, straight up he looks
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:04
			at him, he says ya tulayha, kayfa tarjul
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:07
			najata minan nari wa qatalta thabit ibn arqam
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:11
			al-ansari wa ukasha bin mihsan how in
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			the world do you see yourself as being
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:17
			saved from the fire when you killed ukasha
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:20
			and thabit, like these were two people that
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			were precious to the heart of Umar because
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			these are people that are far from hypocrisy,
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:27
			they're Umar radiallahu anhu's type, these are those
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			ansar that held the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:31
			sallam through thick and thin he's like, what
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:32
			do you think is going to happen here,
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:36
			you're in hajj here wearing your ihram we
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:38
			know who you are, we remember and he
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:39
			said to him, and this shows you the
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:43
			human side, he says la uhibbuka abadan, I
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:46
			will never like you because you killed ukasha
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:49
			and thabit, like I can't hurt you, I
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			can't attack you now because you're a Muslim,
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			but I'll never love you, I'll never like
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:57
			you because of what you did I mean,
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			what do you say when you have Umar
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:01
			radiallahu anhu in front of you and he's
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:06
			this angry and he he has reasonable doubt
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:09
			about you, right, and what you represent at
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:13
			this point tulayha says to Umar radiallahu anhu,
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15
			he says ya ameer al mu'mineen, so it's
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17
			a different demeanor all together, he addresses him
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:21
			with humility he says oh commander of the
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:27
			believers thalikuma rajulani akramahumu allahu bil jannah that
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:30
			these are two righteous men that Allah subhanahu
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:34
			wa ta'ala honoured with jannah wasaqa ilayhim
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:38
			al shahada ala yadi and Allah granted them
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:43
			shahada through my hand walam yaqtulni bi aydihima
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:48
			faakoonu finnaar and Allah, in his decree, in
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:51
			his wisdom, did not allow me to die
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:53
			at their hands because I certainly would have
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:56
			ended up in the fire, he's not saying,
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:58
			like, it's no big deal, I gave them
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:00
			shahada anyway, right, like, it's because of me
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:03
			that they're shuhada what he's saying to Umar
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:06
			radiallahu anhu is that I understand the pain
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09
			and I get it because these two people,
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			but remember the premise of Umar's question was,
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:12
			how do you expect to not go to
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:17
			* and he's saying, look Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19
			ta'ala took those two men to jannah,
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21
			and for whatever reason the decree was that
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:24
			it was through this hand and perhaps it's
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:25
			from the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27
			'ala that he did not allow their hands
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:30
			to kill me and to send me to
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			the fire, Umar radiallahu anhu liked his answer
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:38
			and he actually saw him as sincere so
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:40
			Umar radiallahu anhu kind of left that exchange
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:47
			with a different perspective but understandably how in
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:48
			the world do you have this man amongst
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:52
			you, now on top of that, tulayha comes
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			and he asks Umar radiallahu anhu for permission
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:58
			to fight in the army you led armies
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:01
			against us you want to go fight against
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:03
			the Persians with the Muslims, but he's a
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:06
			talented horseman he says, ya ameer al mu'mineen
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:10
			give me a chance to prove myself I
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:12
			repented to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala I
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:14
			want a chance, just let me go into
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:18
			the battlefield so what happens to him is
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:21
			that he actually goes into these battles these
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23
			skirmishes with the Persians and he proves himself
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:26
			to be a noble warrior, very smart very
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:29
			dedicated he's protecting the backs of the Muslims
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:31
			and he's always the first one diving in
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:33
			so if he was insincere and he was
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35
			just trying to solidify his rank within the
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:39
			new Muslim political scheme then he would have
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:41
			kind of hung out in the back, situated
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:43
			himself here or there, had a few strikes
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:48
			but the fact that he's circling around watching
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:51
			people's backs defending people, he's jumping in head
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:54
			first, he's showing something to Umar radiyaAllahu ta
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			'ala anhu that Umar radiyaAllahu anhu is seeing
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			in him and is saying, okay this is
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:02
			different but here's the wisdom Umar radiyaAllahu ta
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:04
			'ala anhu writes to Sa'ad ibn Abi
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:06
			Waqas, because Sa'ad radiyaAllahu anhu was leading,
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:09
			commanding the armies against the Persians against the
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:13
			Persian empire, Sa'ad wants to use Tulayha
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			and at this point we say Tulayha radiyaAllahu
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:17
			anhu Sa'ad wants to use him, he's
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:20
			a righteous man he's a warrior he's shown
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:22
			himself competent and so far he's shown himself
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			sincere, he's not doing anything to backstab anyone
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:29
			so Umar radiyaAllahu anhu said, listen he says
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:33
			shawirtulayhata fee amril harb use him, consult him
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:36
			in matters of war, wala tuwallihi shai'a,
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:37
			but don't put him in charge of anything
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:42
			look this shows you how complex this is,
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:44
			Abu Bakr radiyaAllahu anhu is accepting the repentance
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:47
			of these people but too soon to put
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:49
			you in the army right, and to jeopardize
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:52
			the safety, which shows you that wisdom is
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:56
			permissible in this regard without renouncing the repentance
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:59
			of these men I can accept your repentance
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:02
			but I don't want to jeopardize the status
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:05
			of the Muslims so he says, use him
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:07
			but just don't put him as a commander
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:10
			in your army, Sa'ad radiyaAllahu anhu says
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:12
			okay, Sa'ad radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu takes
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:14
			him and he uses him in the battle
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:17
			of Qadisiyyah which is of course the most
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:22
			famous battle between the Muslims and the Persians
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:26
			and Tuleyha what Muhammad ibn Sa'ad narrates,
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:27
			and this is in Surah Al-An'am
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:31
			kanatulayhatu yu'addu bi alfi farisi li shaja
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:34
			'atihi wa shiddatihi, Tuleyha himself was equivalent to
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:37
			a thousand horsemen he was so talented as
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:40
			a horseman and he was so brave that
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:43
			you could put him against a thousand people
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:46
			and he was equivalent to a thousand people
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:50
			so Tuleyha's earning his credibility again and subhanAllah
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:52
			it comes back full circle who's he fighting
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			next to now, under the command of Khalid
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:57
			ibn Walid radiyaAllahu anhu who defeated him as
		
00:50:57 --> 00:51:02
			a false prophet and now Tuleyha works for
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:04
			Khalid, reports to Khalid radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:08
			and is going forth in these battles in
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			the battle of Qadisiyah it's said that he
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:14
			had absolutely no fear one of the things
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:17
			about Tuleyha was that Tuleyha did not fear
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:20
			death at all, so on the third day
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:23
			of the battle of Qadisiyah he managed to
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:28
			cut behind the entire army of the Persians
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:31
			and he got behind them and he shouted
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:36
			Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar three times
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			with such a booming voice that the Persians
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:41
			thought that there was a whole army behind
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:43
			them because of the boom of his voice
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:44
			and then he came back around, in the
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:47
			process he deflected their attention to the back
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			managed to come back around and join the
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:54
			Muslims in fighting them from the front so
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:56
			the Muslims started to like Tuleyha radiyaAllahu anhu
		
00:51:56 --> 00:52:00
			because they're seeing his bravery, out of his
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:03
			lack of fear of death he asks Sa'd
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:06
			radiyaAllahu anhu to do something at night like
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:08
			to go on a brave operation he said
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:11
			I can get to Rustam what do you
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:11
			mean you can get to Rustam?
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:14
			Rustam is the commander there are 80,000
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:16
			men between us and Rustam he says I
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:18
			can get to Rustam and I can get
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:20
			some information about what they're planning to do
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:25
			the next day so Sa'd says okay Tuleyha
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			radiyaAllahu anhu manages at night to sneak all
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:31
			the way to the tent of Rustam himself
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:38
			and he first causes the horses to panic
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:43
			he wraps up two of them steals two
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:47
			of them he cuts the strings that are
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:50
			holding the tent of Rustam himself collapses the
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:53
			tent manages to kill two of Rustam's guard
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:56
			and take another two back to Sa'd radiyaAllahu
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:59
			anhu so he collapses the tent of the
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:02
			commander, the main guy comes back with two
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:06
			kills two of the bodyguards and brings them
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:10
			to Sa'd radiyaAllahu anhu and that incident not
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:12
			only panicked the Persians and shook them up
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:16
			in Qadisiyah but it also gave Sa'd radiyaAllahu
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:20
			anhu some critical information about the inner workings
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:23
			of Rustam so it was considered one of
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:26
			the most consequential operations that happened within the
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:29
			battle of Qadisiyah so the Muslims won Qadisiyah
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:34
			then came the battle of Nahawand and in
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:36
			the battle of Nahawand which was considered the
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:40
			most fatal blow to the Persian empire Tuleyha
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:42
			radiyaAllahu ta'ala anhu jumped in, he led
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:46
			a battalion and as Imam al-Zahabi ends
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:50
			his biography qala abla yawma nahawand thumma istushida
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:54
			radiyaAllahu anhu wasamahahu I don't see Imam al
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:55
			-Zahabi say this about anyone else by the
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:57
			way he said that he jumped in and
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:59
			he fought bravely and courageously on the day
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:03
			of Nahawand and he was martyred may Allah
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:05
			be pleased with him and may Allah forgive
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:09
			him because samahahu it's a different type like
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:11
			this is not a normal person in the
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:15
			seerah of the Prophet ﷺ how do we
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:19
			end with this number one what's the point
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:20
			of telling the story is not just the
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:26
			tremendous forgiveness in Islam but remember the magicians
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:30
			of Firaun became shuhada the same day they
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:33
			started off that day as magicians of Firaun
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:38
			and when they threw their sticks and Musa
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:42
			a.s threw his and they said we
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:44
			believe in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:45
			believe in the lord of Musa a.s
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:47
			and they fell in sajda and they were
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:51
			killed this was a mass sahara to shahada
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:56
			event unprecedented a whole bunch of magicians who
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:58
			if they would have died that day would
		
00:54:58 --> 00:55:01
			have died as the companions of Firaun died
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:03
			as shuhada lillah as martyrs for the sake
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:06
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we don't
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:08
			know of a single person in history who
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:12
			went from claiming to be a prophet to
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:16
			dying a shaheed radhiAllahu ta'ala now is
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:17
			he a companion and this is the last
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:20
			thing that the scholars speak about like does
		
00:55:20 --> 00:55:23
			he count as a sahabi so the scholars
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:25
			say that someone who met the prophet s
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:28
			.a.w. as a disbeliever but then embraced
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:30
			islam after the death of the prophet s
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:31
			.a.w. does not count as a companion
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:35
			but someone and of course someone who apostated
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:36
			after meeting the prophet s.a.w. and
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:39
			died not as a muslim does not count
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:42
			as a sahabi but kullu man laqiya nabiya
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:46
			s.a.w. musliman wa mata ala al
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:49
			islam fahuwa sahabi anyone who met the prophet
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			s.a.w. as a muslim and then
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:54
			died as a muslim counts as a companion
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:58
			so tulayha radhiAllahu anhu counts as a sahabi
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:01
			even though he apostated and claimed prophethood and
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:03
			fought the muslims for a period of time
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:08
			what does this mean for you you're worried
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:11
			about Allah not accepting your tawbah you see
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:14
			people who do terrible things who drift away
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:16
			from the community who maybe even join the
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:20
			enemies of islam against the community you don't
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:22
			shut the door of tawbah on people you
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24
			can't shut the door of tawbah on people
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:26
			there is no one who is going to
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:29
			commit a more grievous sin than this man
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:33
			who again as Ibn Taymiyyah said that whoever
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:37
			claims to be a prophet whoever claims to
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:39
			be a prophet and is not amongst them
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:41
			then that person is from the worst of
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:44
			the kuffar and the worst of the zalimeen
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:47
			but we say tulayha radhiAllahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:49
			and so we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51
			'ala to be pleased with him and we
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53
			ask Allah to allow us to learn from
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:55
			this the meaning of husnul khitam what Imam
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
			Siraj always says it's not about how you
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:59
			start the race it's how you finish the
		
00:56:59 --> 00:57:03
			race so tulayha's story shows it's not about
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:05
			how you started the race it's about how
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:07
			you finish the race he ended at the
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:09
			finish line as a shaheed a lesson on
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:10
			that dear brothers and sisters by the way
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:13
			which is very important you realize why the
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:15
			sahaba were afraid that Islam would be taken
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:16
			away from them at the end of their
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:19
			lives and at the same time had hope
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:21
			even despite their distance from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:23
			ta'ala that Allah would still forgive them
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:25
			if they came to Allah imagine if tulayha
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:28
			never wrote that letter to Abu Bakr and
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:31
			thought to himself I am not worthy of
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:33
			tawba I'm just going to disappear here and
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:36
			just die in the middle of nowhere but
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:39
			he took that step so we ask Allah
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:40
			azawajal to empower us towards that step of
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:41
			tawba as well
