Because I actually wanted to today
go over,
a very chilling hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam.
And this is the hadith of Sauban mentioned
in Suran Abu Dawood.
And in this hadith we hear about
a time to come. But the way the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam phrase this hadith
is that he said, a time will soon
come, meaning it is upon you, meaning it
is close.
He said
that
a time is upon you
when the nations of the world
will gather around you,
and they will attack you,
and they will invite one another
to attack and harm you. Just as someone
who would sit down to eat
at a plate of food, and they would
invite others to come join in them in
this feast.
And the companions radhiallahu anhu,
they were shocked to hear this,
that a time like this would come. And
so they asked the Prophet
They said,
Is it because we are so few
in that time, and we are so few
in number?
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, bal antum
yawaydin kir.
No. On that day, in that time, in
that moment,
there's going to be many of you,
but you will be and now he mentions
the state
of the Ummah.
He says you will be like the filth
that floats on top of water,
meaning there's no value to you.
You float about, there's nothing there to you.
Allah
will remove
your fear from the hearts of your enemies.
And then the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
said, walayatadayfannalahu
firkulubikum
alwahil,
And he will put into your hearts,
al wahin. And you know it's very interesting
because the word al wahin or wahin
literally means like fatigue.
And Allah speaking about childbirth
says,
It's fatigue
and being tired and worn out.
And so the companions are asking this when,
this this fatigue, what is that?
They said,
Like what is this wahil that would cause
us to be in this despicable state?
And the prophet subhanahu alaihi wa sallam,
he said, This wahil
is
He
said, This wahil
is this love, and this desire, and this
infatuation
for this worldly life,
and the hatred
for death. Now the prophet
says this, that this is shocking for the
companions
because the state that the companions were in
at that moment was the opposite of this
hadith.
Meaning they were not infatuated
with the dunya.
Their end all and be all of their
existence was not worldly life, and worldly gains,
and worldly benefits, and worldly comforts.
Their end all and be all was not
every desire that we have needs to be
fulfilled in this life.
They yearned
for the akhirah.
They yearned for the afterlife. They knew that
this life is temporary, that this life is
fleeting. This life is a test from Allah
This life is a life in which we
earn
the akhirah.
It is because of that state of mind,
that state of being, that spiritual state that
they found this hadith
to be shocking.
That a time will come
when the ummah will no longer
yearn for the akhirah. They will be infatuated
with this dunya. And one of the things
that will happen at that time is that
we will lose strength.
We will lose, Mike. We will lose honor.
