			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen are behind a stream on a solid on the
Salah Malhotra Mina bien Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman kathira
		
00:00:35 --> 00:01:05
			Elijah Medina my bad rubbish actually said that he was really angry while Dr. Tim Bewdley Sani f
kuqali. We begin by praising Allah subhanho wa Taala and requesting blessings upon the final
messenger Muhammad Ali Abdullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I be witnessed that there's no one
worthy of worship besides one Allah and that was sort of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is His
Messenger, brothers and sisters in Islam joining us across different platforms clubhouse, Facebook,
YouTube and Twitter. I Salam O Allah here alikum warahmatu wa barakatu and welcome to episode number
28 of our field cough syrup series.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:14
			Season Four of it plus from the past Sierra in the 21st century. We have much to go through today we
have the Battle of the book,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:47
			battle after battle at the moment. And before that we have lessons from the previous battle that we
discussed the Battle of who name I pray you all doing phenomenally well. And without further ado,
insha Allah, let's move things forward. So from the lessons, pitstop lessons in relation to the
Battle of Hussein, very quickly, brothers and sisters in Islam, obviously there's many but I'm just
I'm just bringing together the standout ones even though we might have shared them in and most
probably have shared them in some capacity in previous
		
00:01:48 --> 00:02:28
			seasons and sessions. They are as follows number one, shark brothers and sisters in Islam, it comes
in different shapes and different sizes, and we need to keep ourselves educated. And we need to be
aware and we need to be conscious of what to heed and belief in what Allah subhanho wa Taala
entails. And we need to be conscious as well, of the practices of society around us. It shouldn't be
a case whereby we adopt practices because it's a norm of the people and also because of our
ignorance in terms of what can constitute should remember we have shared can then we have forms of
sharing we have outright idolatry and then we have forms of a bet which shouldn't even be part and
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			parcel of the DNA of a believer. In previous seasons. I remember discussing this clearly.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:49
			The whole issue of saying touchwood for example, or Fingers crossed. For example some Muslims they
say this ignorantly obviously, they have the Islamic belief when it comes to what happened to Isa
AlLahi Salaam and how Allah subhanho wa Taala raised him.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:25
			But they still say Fingers crossed, trying to seek Good luck hoping that no harm comes to them. If
they intend to do something. So they plan for something and you say, you know made go out, they say
Fingers crossed, or they say touchwood touchwood. Where did you get this from? Is it from the
Sunnah? What do you mean by it? And 10 times out of 10 they don't know what they mean by they just
know that it's sort of something that people say when they don't wish anything bad to happen, but
who brings benefit and who brings harm? It is Allah subhanho wa Taala so when you are saying
touchwood what are you actually saying? And this has some history I mean, there's different
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:58
			narratives explaining what touch wood wood, wood wood mean. But it also has used to going back to
how people would wear a wooden cross and they will touch the wooden cross seeking blessings and
protection from home so this shouldn't come upon the tongue of a believer. Remember we highlighting
this from when the Sahaba the new Sahaba the new Muslims they just entered Islam they never read the
Quran they never spent time with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they asked the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasallam for a tree to be allocated for them that and what how they had this tree
during the period of
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:06
			idolatry. One thing brothers and sisters in Islam that I do want to say if the sound is not clear, I
think we've been having some sound issues,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:43
			mild issues but nonetheless we want to try and make this as perfect as possible. please do let me
know in the chat overlay on wherever you're joining from. If you type it in Twitter, if you type it
in, in YouTube inshallah I will I will see your messages so please do let me know if there's any any
sound issues. Okay. JACK ma Hara. The second lesson brothers and sisters in Islam is regarding the
importance of knowledge. And obviously this is a follow on lesson from this whole discussion about
what constitutes shirk. And when you learn knowledge, the no doubt the first thing you need to learn
is learn about Allah and learn about the worship of Allah. Right Allah said Phantom and hula ilaha
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:59
			illa Allah land study know that there is no one worthy of worship besides one Allah. Also, as a
third lesson we learned from the whole expedition of the book, how we shouldn't be imitating the
ways the faithful being the ways of people of other faiths. Right?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			The ways of people that are not from the believers, those who haven't accepted Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam as the final messenger, this is not, this was not his way. And he taught us that it
shouldn't be our way. And the isolators were, were requesting some form of imitation within Islam of
that which they used to do before Islam and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam corrected them
eloquently. sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So we should not have an inferiority complex. And we have
discussed this before brothers and sisters in Islam, be proud to show your Islam Be proud to speak
your Islam. Islam only preaches progress. It only preaches in a proactive way. It only wants
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:18
			transformation, positive transformation, it only brings about positivity, obviously, Islam, Islam.
And we've said this again, in many seasons of blast from the past, we differentiate between the
Muslims and Islam. And this isn't this is not something that was done in the earliest of
generations. But it's something that we have to do now. Because the Muslims, they don't follow
exactly what Islam is. So the Muslims do one thing, but Islam says another thing, and no to I'm
saying Islam, so Islam only brings about positivity. And at the end, it's about taking as many
people from the creation of Allah subhanho wa, taala. to, to paradise, right. So this is what it's
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:53
			about. So that's the third lesson. The fourth lesson brothers and sisters in Islam is that we should
be aware of self amazement. We've spoken about this before. I'm highlighting it here because it's a
lesson we can't leave when we discuss Allahu nain all tofi it's not about our numbers. It's not
about our intelligence. It's not about our skill. It's not about our superior training. It's not
about about how quickly we can memorize. It's not about how quickly we can think it's all tofik from
Allah subhanho wa Taala its guidance and help and assistance and acceptance from Allah subhanho wa
Taala for La hawla wala quwata illa Billah. There's no power, no mind except from Allah subhanho wa
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:23
			Taala alone. The first one brothers and sisters in Islam is the importance of patience. And this
lesson was taught to the believers very early on from the Battle of better because during the Battle
of whether they were small in number, but they were big in patience, and Allah sent traffic from the
heavens, Allah subhana wa Dallas and angels from the heavens. So patience is the key ingredient when
it comes towards achieving success. And again, in previous seasons of blast from the past, we spoken
about, you know, the millennials and the generations after them and this whole dopamine
		
00:07:25 --> 00:08:05
			you know, a fiasco that has consumed, the later generations and this whole instant age that we live
in, and the fact that we have a generation that's, that's motivated like no generation before them,
but they lack a key ingredient that will allow them to surpass the achievements of the generations
before them. And that is patience. We all want things instant, you know, Instagram, Insta, food,
Insta communication. Yeah, it was, you know, it must, there must be a tick. And then there must be
two ticks. And then the ticks must change color. Everything was beans that we want to know now and
now how things are. And people in the past, you might say they were backwards. But to Pamela, you
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:43
			could say they lived more of a life than people today. And that's why the achievements were big.
They did things that were major stepping stones for our success today at a time when Subhanallah you
wouldn't even think of if you and I were living in that time, we wouldn't have thought about it.
Look at the the massage that my dad is the Islamic schools, the masjids the places of worship the
Islamic centers, that our parents and grandparents and great grandparents, established at a time
when money was rare. At a time when having a vision was rare in these Muslim minority lands and
because of their efforts of Han Allah, we are who we are today. So they had patience. They had
		
00:08:43 --> 00:09:20
			patience and because patience is associated with belief, and the Muslims learned this early on at
better, but some of them forgot the importance of patience when it was during the Battle of during
the Battle of of Hussain, the expedition of Hussein. They became amazed with their numbers and Allah
subhanho wa Taala highlighted it Javad kathrada come from totally unconscious. You were amazed by
your numbers, but he didn't be a benefit you in any way when you are ambushed and retreating. Right?
And then Allah subhanho wa Taala said contentment upon you upon the believer and upon you and
Sandy's angels, and thus you went forward. So it's about patience, brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:54
			Don't be short sighted. Don't be small sighted. Don't look at how difficult something is now. Go
through the journey. Allah is building you through it. Allah is allowing you chances to make more
allies allowing you chances to get closer to him to tend to him to return to Him to develop your
faith in him that when the help comes it's going to be all the more sweeter and it came after you
build your paradise in a massive way. Imagine if you asked and he just came. How would you worship
Allah by having good hope in Allah? By having good thoughts about Allah? How would you worship Allah
with the concept of Raja Subhana Allah, all these abilities to worship Allah and build your paradise
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			will be taken away. So appreciate that there's a journey and Allah has made the life of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			as well such that there is always a journey before greatness is achieved, the true place of Insta is
paradise, where you wish for something without speaking without moving, and it instantly happens.
And that is the place that we should be focused on. The sixth sixth lesson brothers and sisters in
Islam is human beings are human beings, they will have moments of weakness. And we spoken before
about how we should differentiate when we deal with people's mistakes between those who wish harm
for Islam, and those who wish benefit for Islam. The Scout that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam sent out he only wished good, but he made a pure human error. He didn't pick up on the
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:54
			soldiers that were concealed in order to ambush the Muslims. And yes, this led to great difficulty
during the process, but we see no way that, you know, in all the narratives that we have, whereby
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam scolded the scout and told the scout that, you know,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:32
			he, he caused this to happen to the Muslims, because no doubt the scout had a history of being
diligent of doing it, right. And he had a moment that's part and parcel of the life of this world, a
human moment. And we've spoken about this before. Again, we differentiate between people who make
mistakes as a norm, and those who don't make mistakes as a norm. And even those who make mistakes do
they do it out of it, meaning in order to bring harm to Islam, and to the people around them or not?
So there has to be tears through which we deal with things with things when I say tears, I don't
mean t AR s the tears that come out of your eye, the tears meaning the levels ti ers, right, that's
		
00:11:32 --> 00:12:07
			which is in which we in how we think about things and how we deal with things. And number eight, the
honor of the people of the pledge of Ridwan. We learned this because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam told our best call me those people, the people of Samara, the people of Surah Al Baqarah,
and also the owner of the answer, and the owner of Dalhousie, Raj, because the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam asked our best to call out for these people. And as soon as the call was made, they
were there, as if they never left in the first place. So panela lesson number nine, always make dua
to Allah subhanho wa Taala for the guidance of other people first, we learned this from the Battle
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:41
			of her name at the point of five when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was planning to leave
the siege and they asked him to make dua against them. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
said, I make dua for the guidance first and look later a year later, they became a Muslim as the
sources of the Sierra say, and we discussed this yesterday. Please do revise yesterday's lesson
about this event in the Sierra also brothers and sisters in Islam. Lesson number 10. We learn that
riches is not only about financial or material well being or financial standing riches is different
depending on context, right? Where do we learn this from the fact that of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:47
			alayhi wa sallam was giving 100 camels to abou Sophia and and the details of the operation other
people, all these new Muslims were getting massive
		
00:12:48 --> 00:13:02
			shares from the spoils of war. And then the earliest of Muslims and the answer, we're not getting
anything, or we're not getting much, but they were going back with who with the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam with the Messenger of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:17
			Who was richer, who was richer? So we sometimes need to recalibrate our, our balance our our
measuring scale, in terms of how we understand rich from poor, right?
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:53
			Sometimes, you know, you get some children who love stats, and they say this person is so rich. Why?
Because look at he's got this car in his garage, and that kind is his garage. And do you know how
much this car is and how much that car is. But then you have another Muslim on the side who might
have, you know, a car from back in the day. But he has a man. So who is truly richer, the person who
has a mind and has gender or the person who has the dunya the wildlife of this world and no
hereafter. So we need to recalibrate how we think about things. It's important we think with the
with the light of Eman we see with the light of Eman we hear with the light of Eman we feel with the
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:29
			light of Eman first. All right, this is important brothers and sisters in Islam. Also number 11.
Brothers and sisters in Islam money can be used to help a person get over get over the difficulties
that they having that preventing them from from moving forward and developing their faith. And we
spoke about this whole concept of Elmo alpha Tila polar bears, Allah tells us as a category from the
categories of Zika that we don't give them money to become a Muslim, but we can give them money to
help you know because by giving them money, they feel you honorable and when they see you as
honorable, they stop hating you and when they stop hating you then they open to learning more of
		
00:14:29 --> 00:15:00
			your teachings and this naturally will grow the man. So the money here is a means to an end. It's
not an end in and of itself. And we've highlighted this clearly that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam giving them money was not to buy their faith was to help them develop in their faith.
Because if people enter Islam for the sake of money, then they're not Muslims. They need to enter
for the sake of Allah. Lesson number the next lesson brothers and sisters in Islam, lesson number
12. nip things in the bud, especially when you're a leader. This is from leadership do not allow
problems to grow and to develop and to be
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:10
			more costly, more resource intensive, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he heard the
answer, we're having these issues. And when it was brought to his intention or to his attention, he
nipped it in the bud. And he told
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:28
			he told the leader of the answer, to bring together the answer. And he went, and he gave a hotbar.
And he dealt with it. Right? So this is important brothers and sisters in Islam live things in the
bud, don't let things grow, right, because it only becomes more problematic later on. Lesson number
13.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:46
			We also learned that giving a giving that brings about a communal benefit comes before giving a
giving that only benefits an individual and again we've spoken about this previously that Allah
Allah Allah macadam, Allah Haas, as
		
00:15:48 --> 00:16:28
			the scholars of faith have agreed to that based on the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, that
achieving a benefit of the benefit that helps the majority comes before achieving a benefit that
helps the minority if you can't achieve both do that, which helps you achieve the benefit that
assists the majority and no doubt by the Mk newmac. And Muslims becoming stronger in their faith,
this was going to help all the Muslims collectively, right? Because you let you know, if they didn't
develop in their faith they could have they could have left Islam, and that would have become a
problem for all of the Muslims again. Right. So this is a wisdom that some of the scholars have
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:35
			deduced from how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam distributed the spoils of war. Last but not
least brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:17:14
			I told you yesterday about this whole association between the Battle of butter and the Battle of
Hussein. And Ibrahim is the one who eloquently highlights this he goes the Battle of brother was the
first battle against the Arab mushriks the Arab Idolator is the Arab polytheists. And her name was
the last battle against the Arab polytheists and the Arab isolators, meaning the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam his last battle. So he has a connection. What's the next connection, the angels
came down at better, and the angels came down at at huning. So the angels came down in two places.
Also a third connection at birth of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam through sand at the face
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:36
			of the enemy, and that disturbed them. And in in her name, he threw sand at he threw pebbles at the
face of the enemy, and that disturbed them as well. So there's many similarities. And with that
brothers and sisters in Islam, we come to the Battle of the book, and the book is another battle,
but it never ended up being a battle. But it was an expedition the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam went out, no doubt,
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:55
			but it wasn't against the Arabs. And that's what confirms that he named was the last battle against
the Arabs. This is a battle against the Romans. When did the book take place? Well, firstly, what is
it called? It's called the expedition of the book, but it's also called the expedition of distress,
Visa it or Sora as Allah
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			mentions in the Quran,
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:08
			and also the prophets of Allah who are in the sooner we find this, this description of distress
being
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:35
			used to describe this expedition. So you find some books of the Sierra they say that book
expedition, some say the expedition of distress, when did it take place in the right job nine years
after the age of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from Mecca to Medina. Okay. So it happened
now sometime after who named the next year and sometime after it. Now when it happened, consider
this.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:44
			When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam called for the for them to get ready to leave it this
call happened at a very hot time.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			Peak summertime,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:19:01
			it happened when the fruits were ripened. It's in the summer that the dates ripen brothers and
sisters in Islam. Right The rooftop appears, the fresh dates and then they harvested and then they
dried. And then you have all sorts of of dates in different shapes and forms and sizes.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:10
			It was a time when when rain was scarce. In this region in the in the Middle East, for example, it
rains during the winter.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:50
			Right you get you get some rain during the summer, but in some regions where it's very mountainous.
But generally the peak of summer, it's hot, water is scarce. And it was a time generally as you can
imagine when the Arab state put, they wanted to enjoy the shade, because the trees had grown. They
were fruits. So they you know they wanted to be under the trees. They want it to be with their
fruits, and they never really went out. This is a time when they enjoyed staying in. I'm
highlighting this for a reason, because you're going to see all the excuses that came from this
particular expedition. Now who was the enemy as we said the enemy was the Romans. Remember them?
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			Remember? Remember
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			the Roman leaders The Emperor's and from them errata who
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			he said I would
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			Come and wash the hug the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and kiss his feet or wash his feet or
something to that extent
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:14
			that I heard about him and he's coming, and he had provided 100,000 men. Well, he was also involved
in this one
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:28
			Subhanallah you see what happens? Sometimes you know the truth, but you can leave your money, you
can leave your position, the power is more beloved to you, than faith. Love for the temporary is
more beloved to you, than the long term
		
00:20:29 --> 00:21:01
			solution killer as a problem brothers and sisters in Islam. When you're worried, What will he say?
What will she say? And you're not worried about what would Allah say, was the right thing for me to
do right now? it's problematic. May Allah save us? I mean, you're up. So what happened? Why the
trip? Well, we ambled with a bar, the bar but with a bar, they would bring certain oils into Medina.
And they brought information that the Romans were gathering in the Levant and the leader of Huracan
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			to attack the Muslims.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			Right now, they both refer to Arabs who married
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			non Arabs, and they,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:20
			they the linguistic ability to Arabic language ability was was different to the rest. So they had
this title.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:27
			Now, remember, we said that monitor taking on Rome is no small deal.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:33
			It's no small deal. When these people gather. It's not 1000s. It's hundreds of 1000s.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:55
			And then we have the issue of the heat. We have the issue of the time of the year, we have the issue
of how long the journey is going to be. We have the issue that not everyone is rich. And you want a
massive army, because you're going to face a massive army. So you need money. You need animals. you
need you need. You need stuff, right? You need a budget.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			So there was all this thing happening here.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:34
			But the Muslims, did they have a choice? They didn't have a choice. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam makes a call and a clear call. Why do I say clear, put it in capitals, capital C, capital
L, capital E capital a capital R a clear call. I highlight this because you know, brothers and
sisters in Islam, that he was always conspicuous. sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Whenever he was going
out to a battle, the greatest strategy that he would implement was keep it conspicuous, so we don't
have to deal with the work of the hypocrites keep things away from them keep it within the inner
circle. When they went to open Makkah. He didn't even tell Ayesha and Abubakar. But he or he makes a
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:41
			clear call. Where are we going? Who we meeting what I need? Why does he make it clear? This is just
what a leader does.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:23:20
			Right? You set up people for success, not for failure. We spoke about this time and time again. Set
up people for success. Don't set them up for failure. When people know where they're going. They
know the enemy. They know the distance you setting them up for success because the call is made days
before you go out to people have to prepare. So they know how much to prepare. They're not caught
blindsided, they're not caught off site. So he was very, very, very clear. sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, especially given the financial cost of this trip. Now because the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam wanted an exponential army, as many people as you could get. He's not forgotten
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			what happened and what
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:31
			he knows he needs to raise money. And so panela you find in the Sierra, the Prophet sallallahu,
alayhi wasallam being a fundraiser.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:24:06
			He's a fundraiser. He makes the call for donations. They needed a fund. Because this was an
expensive trip. There's going to be people who don't have food, who will be there. There'll be
people who don't have animals who will need animals. We need resources Subhan Allah, the people came
running brothers and sisters in Islam. They came forth with whatever means they had the rich from
them, and the poor from them. The rich from them. Notice noticeably automatically I found rhodiola
horn. In one narration, he comes with 1000 dinars carrying it in his lower garment.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:13
			Carrying in one of his garments, I would just imagine it that he was he was carrying it in his lower
government.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:29
			And he brings it to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and drops it in front of him. It he said
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam picked up these coins, and he played with the he moved
it in his hands. And he said nothing was mine does today will harm him.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:59
			Meaning nothing goes to mind does from today after today will harm him. So Han Allah is a weak
generation. The one I shared with you is a more established one but there's a weak generation in
which it is said and it doesn't mean that it's weak or if it's weak, that is not true. Because it's
very plausible that this is what happened because we know it with mine. And we know that the Muslims
needed these animals It is said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam made a call. So with
mine came with 100 fully settled camels. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:13
			made the call again with man comes with another 100 fully settled camels when I was given 200 then
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam mixed the Quran again and with mine comes with 100 fully
settled camels Subhana Allah.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:32
			Now, also noticeable from the whole from the events that we have surrounding this and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam calling for funds and people coming with their funds is Omar, Ravi,
Allah and Omar comes with half of his wealth. Halfway his family, half a line is Russell
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			and he feels I want to beat Abubakar and this is my chance.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:55
			And then Abubakar comes, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked Abu Bakar Abubakar What
have you left behind? Abubakar says I left nothing behind except Allah in His Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam meaning I came with all my wealth here. Rasulullah Here you go. So hi Mila, and
Armada sees this and Omar says
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			I will never beat Abubakar
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:07
			Subhanallah some people have naturally my brothers and sisters some people have to work hard. Oman
had to work hard for Boubacar it was easy
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:28
			Subhanallah babe Who else do we have? We have a man even if he said that he gave us 2000 Durham's
remember the rock man Mashallah from the billionaires of the Sahaba he comes with 2000. Durham's
Allah He brothers and sisters in Islam, so inspirational was the scene that even the poor wanted to
date it he said even women were donating gold.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:46
			The poor was was stepping up to handle. Those were considered impoverished rocaille. For example, He
comes forward with four handfuls of dates. He takes for four dates for a handful of dates, brothers
and sisters in Islam. And he comes and gives it to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how
inspirational with these people.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			It's a panel panela
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			but now with all this inspiration,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:54
			you have
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			lahoma Stan,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			the bad apples.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:15
			The rotten apples. Not the bad apples, the rotten apples, the hypocrites. What do they do? They sit
at the back. They do nothing. But they want to be commentators. They want to just sit back and talk.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:23
			What do they say? When they saw okay coming? They say ah, what's he bringing? Allah doesn't need
this donation.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:39
			What did you do? You did nothing. But they're commenting. Then someone else comes another poor
person. And he gives a bit more than okay. So they sit back and they say, Look at this guy. He's
just trying to show off. This is just trying to show off.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:46
			Han Allah. Sound familiar? We have people like this today. Allahu
		
00:27:47 --> 00:28:16
			Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed about them. And Levine al mizuna Muto, we're in the middle of
mininova sadaqat one Levine Allah G. Duna. Elijah home fires Harun amin, whom sathyaraj Allah whom
in whom, with whom? Allah Subhana Allah, Allah revealed about these backseat drivers who just want
to come in, they want to offer commentary. They think they in some TV show, you know, sit at the
back and just have a cup of commentary. Allah understand, Allah says those who criticize those
giving charity from the believers.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:38
			they criticize the one who finds nothing or finds a little bit. they criticize him. Allah sees the
ridicule, they ridicule these people. Allah says Allah will ridicule them, and they will have a
painful punishment. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, who is the truly ridiculed when you ridicule a
person and Allah says, that person is my is my person.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:46
			And Allah says, As for you, you are ridiculed and you've been the Hellfire who is the truly
ridiculed one?
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:57
			These hypocrites brothers and sisters in Islam, It is reported that when the army was ready to move,
they were trying to convince people not to go
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			What did they say to the people? They said?
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			We do not leave during
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:11
			the hot months. We don't we do not leave during the hot months too hot. This is not the man for
these expeditions.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:20
			Let them feed off we'll help don't go out in the heat. Allah to you about them. koneru Johanna Masha
do Hara
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			low can we have kahun?
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			Allah to us about them?
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:29
			Tell them the fire of jahannam is even more hotter if you only understood.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:30:00
			If you only understood you worrying about the desert heat, worry about the fire of genda now putting
these troublemakers aside for now because we have to come back to them unfortunately brothers and
sisters in Islam because they there are too many issues. And there's too many events that we can't
leave out but putting them aside for now. Let's call it you know, let's carry on with the
inspirational stories because Mashallah the inspirational stories of the impoverished companions are
just too many, for example, worth 11 and a scar. He says
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:13
			That when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made the call, he didn't have anything. So he runs
out and he says, Who from amongst you will carry me on his animal. And I will give him my share of
the spoils of, of the battle.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:50
			So an old man from the unserer, notice, an old man from the unser responds and says, I will take the
deal. But one condition, I write sometimes, and you walk sometimes, and then you write sometimes,
and I walk sometimes, and I will provide you the food and the drink, but I will get your share. So
hon Allah, how amazing was that brothers and sisters in Islam? Now there was no spoils of war from
this expedition. And I'll tell you why. And he said that why thila after another expedition, when he
received the spoils of war, he went to this old man, and he said, Here you go, as per my promise.
And the old man said, No.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:31:00
			This is not the spoils of who I was talking about. It was from that Jen, and no suppose of what
happens then keep your spoils.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			I noticed he was an old man.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			And we spoke about this before brothers and sisters in Islam, there's no retirement in Islam.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:13
			When Allah says in Pharaoh, he FF and when you call,
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:38
			go out the young from you and the old from you. Now, there's no retirement brothers and sisters in
Islam. You don't retire from lindauer. You don't retire from bringing people to Allah and to
paradise from spreading the peace and justice and mercy of Islam. No brothers and sisters, it's not
till your last days you do our like Yakov was doing the hour. Who on his deathbed, I'm going to show
her that it has.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			It's called the Benny Hema taboo.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:48
			Allah says Will you present when death came to Yahoo when he was on his deathbed when he said to his
children, what will you worship after?
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			So Han Allah?
		
00:31:54 --> 00:32:30
			May Allah improve our affairs brothers and sisters in Islam? And how amazing is the story of
Northland Ozma. Now brothers and sisters in Islam in another True Story, it is said that the people
of the Ashanti clan, they sent abou Sal ashari to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to ask the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for writing animals that O Messenger of Allah, we want to come.
But please, can you help us with writing animals, some sorts of say that the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, after a while, he managed to find three animals. It took time. And the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam found the animals for them again, let's let's look at the leader the job
		
00:32:30 --> 00:33:04
			of the leader. So Pamela is busy with so much but he didn't turn a blind eye to this. Other sources
also, in terms of the inspirational stories, they highlight how there were seven people who wanted
to go out and they didn't have a writing animal and they couldn't find anyone to share with them.
Who would who would, who would share because there were too many people and too few animals. So they
came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they asked for help but the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam had no help for them. And what happened? They cried. They cried that they couldn't
go out. They cried that they couldn't answer the call of a line is Rasul Allahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:14
			and Allah subhanho wa Taala highlights how they are excused. They are not blameworthy. Allah
subhanho wa Taala. Allah says, Allah Allah levena either
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:31
			carnita hamina whom cool, edgy do hamilo Kumar la del y lo, are you toffee domina demaree has an en
la aji Duma.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:56
			Allah subhana wa Taala says there is no blame upon those who when they came to you or messenger that
you might give them an animal's to ride upon and you said I can't find anything for you to ride
upon. They turned their back was the eyes overflowed with tears? Allah watches the eyes overflowing
with tears out of grief that they could not find something to spend in the Corps of Allah subhanho
wa Taala.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			Look at these people, brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:06
			Now that's the inspiration. And I told you sadly, we have to come back to the hypocrites. They suck
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			the inspiration but not from the believers from themselves.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:26
			I'm sure by now you understand the mindset that they have. Now regarding this expedition, brothers
and sisters in Islam, these hypocrites you know Allah towards the end of the life of the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he exposed this hypocrites in different ways. We saw them how they were
exposed in the Battle of the Confederates.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:40
			In Abu tener, our last one man he'll be our they said we have to go back our families are exposed
and so so on and so forth. And Allah says nothing, and nothing was well, meaning nothing of what
they described was the reality.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:59
			It was just the hippo they the hypocrisy being manifested. And throughout, we see more and more
hypocrites being exposed by Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that is I swear to Toby tober is also known
as, as as the surah that that exposes, because Allah says wamena whom Amina whom amin, whom Subhana
Allah
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			Highlighting,
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:14
			highlighting hypocrites or mean human Latina, una NaVi wakulla hoon, Han Allah. They were exposed,
Allah was exposing them in Surah Surah Tauba as even our best days anyway,
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:52
			in this particular expedition, these hypocrites, they came in different shapes and sizes. And I'm
summarizing, if you go into the books of Syrah, there's much more that I won't be able to tell you
given the scope of our sessions together. Because hypocrites brothers and sisters in Islam, they
live for the life of this world, not for the hereafter. So whenever they did go out, they went out
to get the prize the spoils of war. And when they saw it's mostly unlikely they backtracked, they
made excuses. And with regards to this one, they thought the Romans would have you know, formidable
enemy, they're too big a number. Most likely it's a loss. So now the excuses are coming out. There's
		
00:35:52 --> 00:36:32
			no game here. It's not worth our time. This is how people who are hypocritical in their beliefs
behave. And Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions this in the Quran. Allah says Leia study Luca levina.
You mean una bella he will your milaca yujia he to be unwell him on fishing. Allah says the people
who believe in Allah and the hereafter they believe in Islam, they are true believers. They never
ever make an excuse and seek permission to be excused from going out in the path of Allah. In the
Maya study Luca levina la umina biLlahi while abilio military waterbird kulu boom for him fury
Bohemia, Torah Dune, Subhana Allah, Allah says the only ones who seek permission to be excused are
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:35
			those who don't believe in Allah and the hereafter, and their hearts
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			are filled with disbelief
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			and denial
		
00:36:41 --> 00:37:22
			Subhan Allah, so this is who they are. And when when you see that the worldly when you perceive with
your I have this belief that there's no benefit in this battle you find you come with different
excuses. And thus you see the hypocrites come in different shapes and sizes in terms of the excuses
Of course, Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us about them. Allah subhanho wa Taala says Luca northern
Caribbean was suffering Casa de Lecter Baroque Well, I can bear with it any humor Shaka was a
telephone Allah we started in America, you Holy kulanu Psalm one La Jolla Alamo in the home locale
even Allah subhanho wa Taala says Had it been an easy game for them. And the journey moderate, if it
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:52
			was a short journey, and they saw we most likely going to win, you would have found them they they
would have followed you. But when the day when the journey is far, and there's a big distance
between you and the enemy, they will swear by Allah or prophet of Allah, if we are able, we wouldn't
we would have gone with you. We would have gone with you a prophet of Allah. And they do this
Destroying Themselves for Allah knows that they are indeed liars. Now from them or someone who said
to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and listen to this excuse because I told you excuses come
in different shapes and sizes, right? They come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they
		
00:37:52 --> 00:38:01
			say, oh prophet of Allah, I have a weakness with the Roman women. You know, when I see them, I'm
weak. And if I come the ifI I will do things that I shouldn't
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:12
			allow him to stand Look at this. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam accepted his excuse and
said You stay behind. And Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed amin, amin, Houma, kulu
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:34
			kulu Valley well as ceftin mi, la fille fitternity Sokoto, were in the Johanna Mana mohito, Tameka
caffeine, and sort of the toboe this is sort of the Toba Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and from
amongst them is the one who comes and says or messenger of Allah, please permit me to to remain at
home to stay behind do not put me in a trial. I don't know what I'll do if I see if I see the Roman
women.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:50
			Allah says unquestionably into a trial they've already fallen. They are already in a trial with
their disbelief and hypocrisy, and indeed, * will encompass the disbelievers. Subhana Allah,
others will not creative like this guy.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:39:27
			So they didn't even make an excuse. They just went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said O
Messenger of Allah, please allow us to stay behind. And the Prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam he allowed them to stay behind. And Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed upon him May Allah
pardon your Mohammed alpha Allah who ang Lima adding Nutella whom had a Yana laka Levine Assad Abu
Ouattara Alam elka the been Allah subhanho wa Taala said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
that may Allah pardon you. May Allah forgive you. Why did you give them permission? Why did you
listen to the excuse? Why did you allow them to stay behind until it became evident to you who was
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30
			telling the truth? And who was who are the liars?
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:49
			Why? Because they were people, brothers and sisters in Islam who genuinely had excuses, they were
sick, they were weak, they didn't have money. So Allah is saying, You should have pardoned them only
when it became evident if they were from the categories who were excused and not from the
hypocrites.
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:59
			Allah Allah Stan. Now compare this brothers and sisters in Islam to to us man and man and Omar and
Abubakar
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:07
			And why Thaler and the others from the Sahaba Gala. AntiMage may compare this lot to them to kind of
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:09
			now,
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:18
			the prophets and honestly, honestly, there were those who genuinely wanted to come, you know, the
ones who are crying, they stayed behind they were they genuinely had an excuse.
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:22
			And thus the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said on the journey
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:31
			on this long, difficult hot journey, he said to his companions, that indeed in Medina, they are
people.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:40
			You never moved a step across the valley, except that they were with you in terms of reward.
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:51
			Why? Because nothing prevented them from joining you except a valid excuse. And Allah subhanho wa
Taala mentions the valid excuse at the end of end of the 10th juice Elisa.
		
00:40:56 --> 00:41:03
			At the end of the 10 years, Allah subhanho wa Taala highlights that there is no blame on the weak
there is no blame on the Sikh lays out
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:43
			while marieb What are Allah Levine Allah g doin Ma Yun fukuhara Raj either Nasir holy Allah He was
holy man NYC Nina mean Sabina Subhan. Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says there is no blame on on
the on the weak on the sick on the one who doesn't have money, who is impoverished big events who
are assuming that they don't intend any harm. they genuinely want to come, but they genuinely don't
have the means they are genuinely in a situation. Allah subhana wa damasus is no blame on them.
Right? There's no blame on them. And they were the ones that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was referring to when he said that you don't take a step across the valley except they are with you
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:48
			in reward, because they would have been here except that Subhan Allah, they had this situation. Now.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:42:04
			There is another group of people that we should discuss since we discussing different groups and our
time has moved on so quickly. But there's a group brothers and sisters in Islam, who stayed behind.
They didn't have an excuse to stay behind, but they also were not from the hypocrites.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			So this is a unique group.
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:18
			And Allah revealed about him in the Quran, where Allah Salah 30, levena, holy foo, right also in
sort of the Toba, the three that remain behind.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:37
			Right? They never had an excuse with a strong they were strong. Were they able they were able with
the rich, they were rich, they had they were able financially as well. With the hypocrites, no. So
why didn't they go to Pamela who were they Hillel even omiya khabib and Malik Murata in Arabia.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:49
			Allah subhanho wa Taala discusses them in the Quran. Now crab he describes his reason in a long
duration. Why he didn't come and his reason was similar to the rest.
		
00:42:51 --> 00:43:33
			That long and short of it brothers and sisters in Islam is he procrastinated. What is
procrastination? I will do it. I will do it. I will do it. I will do it. Sound familiar? How many of
us do this? we procrastinate. we procrastinate. I will do tomorrow. Tomorrow. I will. I will. I will
do my homework tomorrow. I will study tomorrow. I will pay that bill tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow,
procrastination. That's what cab did. He basically says I procrastinated. I was richer and stronger.
There was never a time in my life in which I was richer and stronger. But I procrastinated. I never
once in my life had more than one animal. Then that time I had two animals for the first time. But
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:54
			he procrastinated every day saying, I will, I will, until the time to depart came and he was not
ready. Because he had things to do to be ready. He didn't do them. And then he thought, you know
what, I will do them and I will catch up with the Muslim army. And he didn't catch up with the
Muslim army. And then he thought to Panama, whatever he thought that a big number, it's too late. He
stayed behind and he didn't come.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:44:11
			As a result, he didn't answer the call of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now when they
came back, and said, capsuled, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he went to the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasallam and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave him a strange smile. And
Carpe understood something's wrong.
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:20
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said walk with me cap. So crab walks with the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Why didn't you come?
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:29
			So he said, O Messenger of Allah. If it was other than you, I would give any excuse, but Allah
reveals to you Well, law here messenger of Allah, I have no excuse.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:59
			I have no excuse. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, that God has spoken the truth,
and others informed cap that there was another to like you and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said the same thing. And kab asked who they were. And it was mentioned to him he lalibela
Amaya and mooroopna Ravi Subhana Allah. Now the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Kava spoken
the truth. But did kab answered the call or didn't he answered the call? He didn't. Did you have an
excuse or didn't you have an excuse? He didn't say
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:01
			There's consequences.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:11
			That wait what are the consequences the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told cab to go, he told
the Muslims to stay away from crab from the three
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			until Allah revealed regarding them.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:19
			And remember early Allah subhanho wa Taala told the messenger I follow her ankle
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:28
			limit, I didn't tell him had a neck yet, like a Latina, Sadako water element Caribbean that may
Allah pardon you. Why did you
		
00:45:29 --> 00:46:05
			accept the excuse, before you knew who was telling the truth and who wasn't. But in this case, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam knew that they were telling the truth because he told the people
God has spoken the truth, and the others have spoken the truth. But despite this, and this is part
of leadership is not about being popular. It's about doing the right thing. There were consequences.
So he told the populace to stay away from these three until Allah revealed. And he said that 15
nights, almost two months went by before Allah revealed where I left Salah 30 levena, who lifou had
either bought early, Allah subhanaw taala mentions the holding, we're running out of time, I would
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:10
			have loved to recite diversity, but please go to sort of October and Morocco but
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:33
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says, regarding the three who procrastinated and didn't make it to the
battle, right. And then Allah describes this situation, that the situation became one in which they
felt that the earth the walls of the earth were closing in on them. And they couldn't recognize the
environment that they were in. And he describes this himself. He says this himself.
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:35
			Right?
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:45
			To Han Allah. He says, I never recognized the environment that I was in people not mixing with me
people not talking to me, day after day.
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:54
			Subhan Allah what Medina was before the expedition, what happened after they came back, it is a
whole different scene. Allah describes this in the Quran with in detail.
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			Right Allah subhanho wa Taala says
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:02
			metabox then Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:41
			the reverse that made it clear that Allah has pardoned them. And as a result, the Muslims came and
gave these three the glad tidings that Allah subhanho wa Taala has pardoned. Now, very quickly,
brothers and sisters in Islam, I do want to reach a particular point before I leave, I am rushing I
know and I apologize for that. But we only have today and tomorrow and the day after, and we still
got the hedge of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and then the passing away of the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasallam. So very quickly, we won't take the lessons here today, but I just want to
give you what happened with this battle. The Muslims went out with 30,000 men, and this is much much
		
00:47:41 --> 00:48:16
			bigger than what happened and what right so indeed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had an
idea of, of the enemy, and the numbers that they bring, so he managed to get sallallahu alayhi
wasallam 30,000 men, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam makes early, even Abu Talib in charge
of Medina. And when he did that, he said, O Messenger of Allah, are you making me like the women in
the children and the second the week, that you let you letting me sit behind with them? Because I
really wanted to go out. And he says, I can offer you more. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said too early, that would you not love to be to me like how Harun was to Musa Subhana Allah
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:54
			will discuss that in sha Allah. Also brothers and sisters in Islam very quickly, there's a highlight
story of a Buddha and he very heartwarming highlights panela that he came out, but he's camel was
all that weekend slow. And he wanted to be with the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
But his camera kept on, you know, being left behind and left behind and left behind until he
couldn't even see the Muslim army. And then he thought to himself, what must I do? Must I go back to
Medina? What must I do? Must I carry on like this and maybe see if I can catch them up with this
camera is too slow, or should I leave the camera, carry everything on my back and run with my feet?
		
00:48:55 --> 00:49:00
			What should I do? No doubt the last option is not practical, but a Buddha.
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:13
			He did it. He took everything off. And he started running. Now when the army was going they noticed
was a Buddha and someone called out Reza Buddha and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
leave him and don't talk about him.
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:23
			Don't talk about him. Now obviously the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is thinking of different
things, because of given how many excuses that were presented to him.
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:27
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:41
			words of balanced words he said that if it is in good, if it is good in him for us, he will find us
and if it's if there's no good in him being with us, then we've been spared from his presence,
something to this effect.
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:44
			And Subhanallah when the Muslims set up camp,
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:59
			and they were resting in the distance they see someone coming and the people to Who's that it's the
person who is it and then as the person gets closer and closer and closer, before that, it is said
somebody
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:07
			Let's say that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said me be a Buddha, to how much care and
goodness the Prophet wanted for the oma, it's kind of Legos, please make me be a Buddha.
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			And as he came close the people so is the Buddha Subhan, Allah
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:48
			Subhana Allah. And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw him, he says that Buddha was
alone, and he will live alone, and he will pass away alone. And this is a prophetic moment. This is
a prophetic moment. Why? Because of Han Allah later on, later on at the time of with man, if my
memory serves me, right, the Muslims are very rich. And now there was, you know, it was different to
how it was at the time in Medina, and people were willing to business and the homes were, you could
see they were they were rich, and a Buddha didn't like it. So he went away into the middle of the
desert, and he stayed there with his family. He wanted to live. Humbly, he goes, I'm not comfortable
		
00:50:48 --> 00:51:06
			with, with all this money that's around. And when he was passed, so he lived alone. And then when he
was passing away, he told his family when I passed away, cover me and take me to the side of the
road. And they said, what should we do with this? They said, Take, he said, Take me to the side of
the road, and when you see a caravan coming, tell them that this is a Buddha.
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:22
			And Subhanallah that's what they did. He passed away alone. The family did what was asked, they took
him to the road, they left him on the road, it's so close to the road that the animals could have
even maybe walked over, over him, as some narrative, say, and then
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:30
			a caravan stopped. And on that caravan was the library. He was based in Iraq and he was coming from
Iraq Subhan Allah.
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:47
			So he asked, Who is this? He saw two people in the family of, I think they were two with with the
corpse. He says What is this? So they said, this is a Buddha and this is what he asked us to do. And
he told us to say, if asked if this is a Buddha and even Masood, Abdullah Masood Hanalei became so
emotional.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:52:01
			And this is the strength of the label muscle memory because he remembers he goes Subhan Allah, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke the truth. He said, a Buddha will live alone and die
alone, and Abdullah did the necessary robiola marine
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:10
			to bury. Now the Muslims get to a book brothers and sisters in Islam and guess what, after all of
this,
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:15
			guess what? They find nobody? No Romans came.
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:26
			No Romans game. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam sets up camp, and some sources say for 20
days thinking maybe they're delayed they on their way because I was told that they coming.
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:29
			No one came
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:48
			spamela the Romans feared facing an army of 30,000 men no doubt it must have got to them that guys,
they've come up with 30,000 Allah Allah knows best. I'm just guessing, but it's plausible. They must
have said guys 30,000 do you look Do you don't forget what happened when only 3000 came out last
time and we were 200,000 now they have 30,000.
		
00:52:51 --> 00:53:11
			And this made the Muslims strong. This was a win in some capacity because it is said that
accordingly. The lead is on the outskirts of the Levant of Sham. They began entering peace treaties
with the Muslims. They said we're not gonna have any issues with you guys. And they started paying
the jizya the head tax for them to remain on those lands upon their faith.
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:19
			And Allah He when you read this, you remember the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
in which he said, No, sir, to be mercy, Raj Shah.
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:25
			Allah has blessed me by placing a fear in the enemy the distance of one month.
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:52
			This was a miracle this was a favor that Allah gave Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a unique
virtue that he gave the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this is true. Where were the
Romans? They went into hiding. They went far away. Now before we go into the lessons, one last thing
I'm going to say, because a Shea bisher Youth Club, this is part of the journey, and that is the
Muslims passing the land of the mood. Elijah,
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:57
			Elijah, and his hedger is the place with a mood
		
00:53:58 --> 00:53:59
			and they were destroyed.
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:03
			When he left home solely
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:07
			to the people of the mood, Allah sent slowly
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:10
			and
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:21
			remnants of the spaces present today in modern day Saudi Arabia, and it's been protected by the
UNESCO heritage protection rights.
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:31
			It's a place that can be driven to end people have gone there, the Muslims past this place, and when
they got to hedger, some people, they went to the world of hedger and they,
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			they
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:43
			took water to make dough. And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam found out he said, spill
the water, and any spill the water, don't use this water.
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:59
			And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said do not enter the homes meaning the lands, the
spaces of people who had destroyed the places where people were perished except once crank. This is
the precaution you should take. Don't go and make a party out of things. If you go there go crime me
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:03
			rush through it don't even go then if you have to be there be there was depression.
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:05
			I don't mean depression then.
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:15
			Meaning linguistically brothers and sisters and be there sad be their hurt. But these were people
and this is what they did and Allah destroyed them and feared the punishment of Allah subhanho wa
Taala
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:32
			right. So this is a lesson from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with regards to those who
visit the sites where the punishment of Allah subhanho wa Taala fell upon. Okay, brothers and
sisters in Islam, we will end it here. We started today with the lessons of hurling. We'll start
tomorrow with the lessons of
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:41
			the lessons of the latest battle, right or expedition it wasn't the battle the battle didn't take
place. But
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:49
			it was an expedition, the expedition of the book insha Allah she was Aquila heroine for being with
me throughout.
		
00:55:52 --> 00:56:27
			Yes, she does a sadness not depression. That's what I meant. I'm in sadness you should be there in a
state of sadness. JazakAllah Heron octi me Allah subhanaw taala bless you all, and bless us all and
except from us, except our time together, we just have two episodes left. May Allah bring us
