Sadullah Khan – Heartchanging compassion

All right bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah Rahmani Raheem

we continue our theme for Ramadan. The Rose army communist spirit in

Abuja profound lessons from the life of our beloved prophet

muhammad sallallahu alayhi. Wa early he was seldom

when the Muslims were settled in Medina, after having migrated from

Makkah and the persecution suffer in Makkah, don't forget, some of

them already migrated to Abyssinia in Ethiopia.

So when the Prophet was settled in Medina and the Muslims are moving

in control and in charge of things in the Rasul was seen as a leader

in Medina, he made an agreement in a pact with the people of Medina.

And he made a covenant that all of them work together to support one

another different faiths and I'll speak about that some other time.

But when the Muslims were established, and so on, the

prophet sent letters to various rulers in Kings in the surrounding

areas, even up to Rome,

invite inviting them to Islam. Among the leaders to whom there

are Sushil Allahu Allah was sent him sent a letter was a powerful

chief of the bonobo Hanifa tribe, in East Arabia in an area called

Al yamamah.

Now this person whom He sent the letter to was, was referred to as

Sayed min Sadat in Arab, he was referred to as even the honored

ones among the royalty, not only was your royalty, he was

considered among the honored ones of those who are Royals, his name

was to mama. So when So Mama received the letter from the

Prophet Muhammad inviting him to Islam, he was consumed by anger,

who is this man, child of an orphan poor background, who's he

to invite me to a new religion, and so on and so forth. And he was

very upset. And in fact, he outright rejected

the message.

And in fact, refused to entertain its contents or discuss it with

anyone. And more than that, he expressed an open desire to

obliterate this new religion, and to kill the founder, or the one

who brought the religion in other words, he intended to kill the

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and thereby obliterate

him, and Islam. In pursuit of that nefarious design, some of the

Sahaba who happened to have gone to that part, or traveled for some

work, when he found out the these people were Muslim followers of

this Muhammad, peace be upon him, he had them killed.

So now through mama became a wanted man

to mama and now became a wanted man by the Muslims. Not long after

that, for Mama decided to go to Makkah on pilgrimage to sacrifice

something for the idols and so on. So he left your mama for Makkah.

On the way again, he met some Muslims, and then a skirmish took

place. And lo and behold, he was taken captive, for Mama was taken

captive. But the Sahaba did not know that he was through mama

beluga, the chief of the of the, of the Hanafi tribe.

So

when they brought him to Medina, they tie this tie the people to

the either by the door of the mosque, or to the pillars of the

mosque, in the mosque. So they tied him to one of the columns in

the mosque. And when the Prophet SAW Selim saw him, he said,

according to the seed of ignition, after the rule of thumb, do you

know who you have taken captive yet? They said no. He said he had

to mama been Posada Hanafi X, he knew

Issara In other words, this is from Abu salah, Hanafi and make

sure that you treat him with respect and you treat him well.

And as always, the prophet instructed the Sahaba when these

prisoners are being taken, don't tie them too tight. We know that

we keep them as captives, but they are called Osama atta Kulu let

them eat what you eat.

He was held for 72 hours they in Medina in the mosque.

And while he was there, he observed the hub of Muslim

activity because the mosque was the center of activity. And he

noticed how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam engaged the people

in how prayers held in consultation and so on and so

forth.

Within three days, the prophet set him free and let him go.

When he left, he went to Berkeley, which is a cemetery as you know,

if we went to Medina just nearby, he went to Bucky cemetery and he

fought for a while, took ablution or washed himself and he came back

he entered the mosque and he said, I should do a la ilaha illallah wa

shadow under Muhammad Rasulullah.

He took testimony and then he told the prophet will La Jolla Mohammed

Magana, the watchman abhava eladia. Minh watching there was no

face more despicable, despised by me more hated by me than your

face. For cut as a humble watch. Aelia now your face your

countenance is the most beloved to me.

Wallahi Maka Anna Dean about ilium indianic For us, Medina, Medina,

Milla delay, remember this is Medina La Mancha, by the way was

on the way to go. He said, I swear by Allah, that the city of yours

was the most disliked by me. And now it is the most liked by me.

The point here about this snapshot in the Prophet's life. For three

days, this food Mama boufal, was treated with the utmost respect,

with dignity. He was given the same food as a prisoner as a

captive that the people who captured him were eating.

So when he sees this kind of compassion, and this kind of

generosity of spirit, his heart open to Islam, sometimes you see,

it's not the preaching is not the teaching is not the proclamation

is not the boasting is not about the numbers isn't about how much

looks isn't about how nice we read, but sometimes is the

benevolent, kind hearted example that may attract people. And in

this case, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam gifted him his

independence in three days. That same was the same for Mama, who

openly threatened to come and kill the Prophet. His animosity was not

defeated by religious debate. By religious argumentation by the

Muslims Konkani him, his animosity was defeated by the compassion of

the Prophet and those around him. salat wa salam Wallach Saedi era
