Dear
brothers
and
sisters,
and we'll come back to our series,
the shadows.
Yesterday, we was talking about Sayyirna Umayr
Ibn Said al Ansari
in his childhood.
And today,
we will continue
with the same hero,
Sayyiduna
Omar Ibn Said al Ansari.
But he when he become adult, when he
become
an old, we will see
how he did
amazing job. Even Sayyiduna Omar
used to describe him as an Nasid al
Waha.
He's
a he he he has amazing
example.
No one will have the similar
kind of caustractic caustractic caustractic
like Sayeduna,
Omar Ibnu Saad.
Today,
we will have just a few,
highlights
to
see how Sayedullah Umayr,
the one who was young
when he accepted Islam. He was 10 years
old, and we will see how he defended
Islam when he grow up, when he become
an adult, when he become an old man,
very wise man.
One day,
the the the
the book came from the people of Hams
or, you know, the message came
that the people of Hams
really are complaining about the rulers, Muslim rulers
that Sayeduna Omar sent them
to to the Bilaad Hashem.
And
Sayyiduna Omar was really
very careful to select
the people that he will give them authority,
to
all the Muslims.
And he was looking in his mind
who is
the one really has
the good,
characteristics
and he will
fear Allah
will not do against
the the people of Muslim.
And he found Sayyiduna
Umayr
ibn Saad.
And Sayyiduna Umayr in that time, he was
leading
the army of Muslim
in Biladishem,
and he sent the message for him, come
to Madinah,
and he told him, I will assign you
as a leader for Hams.
Hams which is a place of Syria.
And Sayyidina Umar told Sayyidina Umar, I am
not ready to leave jihad
and go
to to be a ruler,
for
a
small part of the land. I would like
to really
help people
and
make them
Muslims and return them to Islam.
And Sayid Omar ordered him. He said, this
is my decision
and go to,
Bilad e Sham as a wali, as a
ruler, Muslim ruler. And he
went and he did the speech and he
gathered all the people
in in in one place
and he told them,
Oh, people.
Islam is a very strong fortress
and
very
strong door.
Then
Islam
Al Aqdl.
The virtues of Islam is justice.
And the door of Islam is truth.
And he said after that,
If you destroy
the virtues
and if you
break
the door,
it will be easy for anyone to attack
Muslims after that.
And he mentioned for them,
the Islam will will remain strong
as long as the Sultan,
which is the Khalifa of Muslim,
you know, remain
powerful.
Liza
Darban Bissau,
it's not to kill people by his sword,
but to spread
the justice between
Muslims.
And this is what he told the people
from the first day.
And
for the whole year,
no complaint
came to Sayedina Omar from Hams
for entire year.
And Sayedina Omar
was confused. What's going on?
Why no no one
sent any complaint after I sent, Omar Ibn
Saud for them?
And
he thought that Sayeduna Umayr changed his mind,
and he he took the money, and he
become rich.
And he told his writer,
write to Umayr. When he received my letter,
he must leave him and come to Medina.
And Sayyidina Umayr, when he received the letter
from Sayyidina Umar as a Khalifa of Muslimeen,
he left him and he
went back to Madinah
walking.
SubhanAllah.
And he took very long time because Madinah
from Hams, from Syria to Madinah,
it's it's long distance.
And he came
all the way walking.
Can you imagine
if you,
have a position,
you know, in the gover gover, government
or in if you have a position in
any company
and at least
even when he when he came to Sayidina
Umar, he was very tired and he has
very long hair and he look like he
was exhausting.
And Sayidina Umar asked him,
what are you doing, You, Omayr?
Why you did not ask
them to give you transportation?
And he replied to Sayidina Umar. He said,
they did not give me and I did
not ask.
Subhanallah.
Very humble person.
Even he was a leader. He was the
ruler for Muslims in that in that place.
And
he carried
his bag
for his
clothes
and one plate,
you know, just to eat and to wash
his his clothes and his head,
on it, and he has a bottle of
water.
This is what he
has for the entire life.
Subhanallah.
And Sayyidina Umar,
when he figured out that he's honest, he
did not cheat. He did not deceive. He
did not save the money under the table.
Subhanallah. And he told his writer,
give the command to Umayr
to go back
to Homs. And Said no. Umair said no.
Of course, no. I will not go back
again.
Give me chance
to spend the rest of my life worshiping
Allah with the
with the peace of mind.
I will not serve you.
I will not serve anyone after you, o
Amir al Mu'minin.
Subhanallah.
And Sayid Omar excuse
him and he went
to small,
town near to the Medina
and the suburb of Medina Al Munawara and
he spent his life over there with his
family.
After a while, Sayid Omar,
you know,
wasn't sure that Omar is honest
and he sent one man, his name Al
Harith,
with the 100 dinar.
And he told him, go to Omar in
his house
and ask him that you are a visitor.
I would like to spend, you know, some
days with him, and he stay with Umayr.
If you see
that he will have a good food and
a good, you know, clothes on something like
this, maybe he's a liar.
And if you found he has nothing from
Duniya, he's honest.
If you figure out that he's honest, give
him the 100 dinar and come back to
Medina. And he went and he knocked the
door and say, you don't know, Omar. Ask
who? He said,
Al Harith. You know, I would like to
spend,
some days with you because I'm I'm a
guest. And he said, welcome. And he stay
with him in his house. Every day,
they
they have only one loaf of sha'ir.
You know, this is the food for the
entire family.
And for the 1st day, the same food.
For the 2nd day, the same food. For
the 3rd day, the same food. Until one
neighbor told Al Harith, Sayedoon Al Harith, you
know, you have to give them you have
to give them break because they have nothing
to eat. If you
insist to stay in the stone, come to
my house and leave Omayr with his family
because they have nothing to eat. And he
realized
that he's honest, and he told him, Amir
al Momineen
sent me with the 100 dinar, and this
is for you. And he said, go back
to Amir al Momineen, say salaam to him,
and say, Umayr doesn't need the money. Take
it back. And his wife, she was listening
and she said, oh, Omar, take the money.
If you need it, okay. If you don't
need, just give to the other people they
are in need.
And Al Harith, he left the money and
he,
went back to Sayeduna Omar.
And Sayyiduna Omar Ibn
Said, he divided
the money or he distributed the money to
the needy people around him, especially
the families of martyrs.
And he did not leave a single penny
for him himself or his family.
After a while, Sayid Al Nahumar sent a
message for him, come to Medina, and he
went.
And he asked him, what did you do
with the money that I gave you?
And he said,
respond
back,
I saved the money that you sent for
me. I save it in good place for
myself
to protect myself in the day the day
no money, no children will benefit me.
And,
he couldn't hold his tears, and he said,
I bear witness that you are among those
who,
prefers to give to others
and to put, you know, the benefits of
other people around them more than their own
needs.
And
he gave them
he gave,
Sayyiduna Umayr
some food and and and and 2 clothes.
And Sayyiduna Umayr said, we don't need the
food, but I will take the clothes for
my wife because her clothes get tripped and
nothing to cover her body. Subhanallah.
And he took the clothes and go back
to
his tomb until
he passed away. When Sayeduna Omar figured out
that Sayeduna,
Omar Ibn Saad passed away
after all this journey
defending Islam
and serving,
as as a servant of God,
and he had nothing,
from from this worldly life.
He was preparing himself
to meet with Allah and to meet with
the Rasulullah
the one who used to care of him
when he was a child. When you remember
what we were talking yesterday when he was
10 years old, when prophet Muhammad
hold his ear and said,
You know, your your ear
on is honest for what you have heard
from Julius, his uncle or his stepfather.
And he
stayed and and and, in his religion until
the last,
breath in his life when Sayyidina Umar,
got the news that Sayyidina Umayr passed away.
He passed away in the end of the
the time
of and he said,
I wish if I have a lot of
people the same example like Omar Ibn Said
to support me and to help me out
to enroll
the Muslims
everywhere. And this is what Sayyidina Omar Ibn
Khattab,
mentioned about Sayyidina Umayr
ibn Saad Al Ansari
This is, you know, a very
a good example for all of us
when we,
teach our children when they were
still young and when they grow up
how to stay firm in their religion, how
to defend
the justice all the time, how
they will not change their mind for any
purpose of the worldly life, and because they
believe in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and they
believe that the provision only in Allah's hand,
not in any other hand. This is what
we have,
about our hero tonight, Sayyiduna
Umayr ibn Saadil Ansari
