During the filler for Abubakar and Omar, there were a lot of battles
that the Sahaba went into. Once a hobby I want to point them out to
you. His name is Allah ignant Hubbard I mean, he's out far away
in the lands of Bahrain next to Persia. And there he's leading a
group of Muslims who are traveling through the desert to face their
enemy. When the camels for some reason, got nervous and all
scattered, leaving the the soldiers in a patch of desert with
no food, no water and no transportation. This used to
happen to Arabs all the time, and they would sit and just dig their
graves and wait to die as you're lost in the desert, the journey so
long and you have no transport, no food, no water. So he saw all
these, these soldiers in complete state of desperation, he gathered
them all. And he said, call them that and it was salata and feta.
They prayed French, he stood up after salah, and he gave a rousing
speech. He said, Oh people, have you traveled out and left your
families? They said yes. Have you gone out for the sake of Allah and
nobody else? I said, Yes. Are you going to face the enemy and lose
your lives? They said yes. I said, Have you just prayed slotted
feathered in Gemma for the sake of Allah, nobody else? They said yes.
He said, Do you think someone will do all of these things, and then
Allah will abandon them.
They said no.
Infinite hub that me is doing something which we call tow us
suitable, amen, is to draw near to Allah with your DUA by presenting
deeds. This is one of the best ways to get your DUA answered,
which is to present your good deeds to Allah, not boasting and
taking credit for it. But you did do it. You intended it, and you
did it only for the sake of Allah. And now you're looking to cash
out. Some people think if I do this, I get my reward in this
life, and not in the next life. That's not true. Once I'm a man
came to the Sahaba, we're sitting around after a battle, and saying
so and so was amazing. He did so many kills, he kills so that he
did so much to the enemy. And another Sahabi said, Too bad, you
all praised him. Now he won't get his reward in the afterlife,
because you only get one reward in this life for the next. That's
what he thinks. The Prophet said, No, he will get his reward in this
life by you praising him and loving him, and he will get his
reward in Africa. Because if you did something for Allah, you can
get both. If you did it for the dunya you only get the dunya. So
to us, Salah is saying Oh Allah, I did this for your sake. So grant
me this. So they start started making dua and Allah had that. I
mean, it's such an intense dua, and the people were watching him
all the way until the sun came up. When the sun came up and they
could start to see each other clearly. They listened and they
said, quiet. Listen up. They heard bubbling coming out of the ground.
Lo and behold, a spring had erupted out of the ground. They
all drank from it. They dug it up the water Gosport, they drank from
it, they washed themselves. And the camels came throughout the
day, one at a time from all different directions to drink that
water. And they got their stuff. And they said, By Allah, not one
thing was missing. Not one package fell, not one. Campbell went
astray, everything that we needed was there. We have another story,
from this time of the bene of Surah e to the children of Israel,
where three youth were stuck in a cave. And in this story, one of
them asked Allah subhanaw taala to move the rock that made them stuck
in the cave, by a good deed he did, which was he was very good to
his parents. He said, Oh Allah, my parents were old. And I had taken
an oath never to feed my kids before my parents, except one day
I was late. With the herd of sheep came back, my parents had fallen
asleep, and I had an oath. So I sat guard over the milk, even
though my kids were crying, and I waited for my parents to wake up,
gave the milk then I gave my kids milk, Oh Allah, if I did this for
your sake, then move the rock. So a rock moved 1/3 of the way. Now a
third person, he didn't have such a general mid such a such a good
deed. Such a pious good deed he had just honest business, who was
just honest in business business is not charity. Honesty in
business is enough to give people their dues, is enough the prophesy
centum said the honest merchant is with the martyrs on the Day of
Judgment. So one was generous to his family. The second was just
fair. So a man worked for him. And he owed him a male sheep and a
female sheep. Right after his work, the worker said, I'm going
to travel. I don't need these sheep now save them for me for
later. So the man left and the owner of the sheep took these
sheep and married them together or mated them together after 10
yours the men remembered, oh, I need to sheep. That guy owes me
two sheep. So he went, and he said, Remember me, I worked for
you that one day you owe me a male sheep and a female sheep. He said
that oh Valley over there. He looked, he found it filled with
sheep said all that's yours. He said, How? You only owe me two? He
said yes, but I made them. Therefore anything that comes out
of that product is yours to so that is fairness and justice in
business, okay? Because he was told, save them. For me. They're
not your sheep anymore. They're my sheep. But just save them to me.
So if you take someone's money, and you go and invest it for them,
while they're away, without their permission, and you make a ton of
money, that money should be theirs. And in fact, of course,
there are discussions about that. They may say you did haram, but
the money's also check your your your fit for that. But this man
was fair in business so that he said, All right, if I did this,
for your sake, move the rock in Iraq moved. Third one was neither
generous nor fair in business. In fact, he was very sinful, but he
had enough fear of Allah not to go from minor, from major sins to
worse since you have to realize that this two deserves in the
sight of Allah, it earns you some reward with Allah. This man he
had, he loved a woman. That woman was a cousin of his. And in his
eyes, she was the most beautiful person in the world who wanted to
marry her so badly, but she rejected him. She didn't want to
marry. Time passed. She fell on hard times. She needed money. He
was rich. She came to him and she said, I need money. I'm in a big
debt. He said, Well, you need me. No, you know what I want. She
capitulated, she came into his house, he closed the door, and she
sat down on the bed, he pushed her down onto her back, began doing
what he was planning to do. Until she spoke. She said, fear Allah
and don't break the seal. She was a virgin. So he's already done all
the sins, but He feared Allah, and he got off her. So here, you don't
even have someone pious, you have someone who's a sinner, but he
fears Allah enough not to make his stet sin really bad and hurt
somebody else really already hurt her. He already disgraced her, but
he didn't go too far in it. And just as a result of that, Allah
moved the rock even more he said, Oh Allah I moved off I got up off
of this woman whom I wanted so badly. And uh, you know, when a
person's desire to take over, it's extremely hard to make a sound
decision. And the rock moved. If I did this, for your sake, move the
rock. This is all called to us soon, the AMA. And why did the
Prophet choose this story? Because each one was a different level of
piety. Not everyone's going to be like that such a pious son. Not
everyone's going to be in the opportunity to be a fair
businessman, but most of us will be of the opportunity that I'm
gonna go commit 100% of this and I stopped at 50 I stopped that 60 At
least I didn't make it worse. This is all called tell us soon, Bill
Amell and we should utilize this in our in our dua so that it can
be more likely to be answered.
