00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			If you enter the prophet's message from either
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			gate 21 or 22, you'll find the shoe
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			rack 1241242
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			in front of you.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			And underneath the carpet, you'll find
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			these markings.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			These markings signify that there used to be
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			a well here, and his name was Bayruha.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			And this well belonged to Abu Talha al
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			Ansari, and there was a garden as well.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			And this garden was massive, and it stretched
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			almost this entire area.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			And Abu Talha al Ansari was one of
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			the most wealthiest people in Medina.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			And there was a lady in Medina by
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			the name of Salaim who accepted the message
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			of Islam and became Muslim.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			And her husband refused to do so, so
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			she was forced to leave him choosing Islam
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			over her marriage.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			And shortly after, her husband actually passed away
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			on a journey, and she had a son
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			by the name of Anas.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			So when Abu Talha heard this, he went
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			and he proposed to unsullaym. He showed interest
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			in her, but she rejected him. So he
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			went back and he couldn't deal with it
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			because somebody like him is not used to
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			getting rejected.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			So he goes back to her and he
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			proposes again.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			She told him that somebody like you is
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12
			not rejected.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			But how can you worship 6 and stones?
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Something that people created.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			So you told her, how much Mahar do
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			you want?
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			She said Mahar? And he said, yeah. Gold
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			and silver. How much do you want? She
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			said, I don't want that from you. But
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			what I want from you is Islam.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			And Abu Talha became Muslim, and this was
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			the first time in Islam when somebody's Mahar
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			was a conversion of a person.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			Now we can say that, okay, he just
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			converted because he wanted to get the girl,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			but it was not the case because Iman
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			really sunk into his heart. And Abu Talha
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			became one of the greatest Sahabi
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			when the verse,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			That you will never attain true piety unless
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			you spend from that which you love. Whatever
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			you spend, Allah is all aware, all knowing
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			of it.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			So when this verse was revealed, Abu Talha,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			he went to the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			sallam,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			and he told them that Allah had just
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			revealed this verse.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			And he told them that this garden of
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			mine is the most beloved property to me.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			And he told the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			sallam to bear witness that I spend it,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			I give it for the sake of Allah.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			And the prophet
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			became excited, and he said,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			The glad tidings, how amazing it is, that
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			is a prosperous
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			deal that you just made. And he said,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			I think that you should give this garden
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			of yours in to your relatives.
