We continue now, reading from the book.
If
you were to look at the,
the number of what we call,
the handwritten
books that form the Islamic academic tradition.
The most prevalent handwritten book, of course,
in the Muslim world is what?
The Quran.
The second,
The second most predominant book. And here we
can appreciate how Sunnis we forgot who we
are.
Sunnis were like looking in the water, we
see a pig with lions.
Most Sunnis today won't even know what is
the book
How could that happen?
One of the great scholars.
He said, I traveled the Muslim world,
and I did not find a home,
except in that home was a copy of
the Quran
and next to it,
As the 2nd most popular book written,
more than 100 more than 1,500,000
Mahtota
of Dalail
Al Khairat.
It's
translated
in English.
He was murdered. He was poisoned. He was
63 years old.
Because the leaders at that time were jealous
of
him, because he was a influencer. Right? An
influencer of noor. It
upon the prophet salawahu alayhi
wasalamah,
before he was murdered was 1200 people. SubhanAllah.
And his family to this day, if you're
from Morocco, and you go to Morrakesh,
and you go to his Masjid, they still
gather to read.
And they'll give you any jazah back to
him.
Every morning,
they call it
You find a gathering people reading their book.
In the
Masjid
al
Rifai.
Next to Sultan Hassan every Friday.
The 3rd most popular book or the 3rd
most
handwritten
book is Re'alsalehi.
So, Alhamdulillah.
This is the ummah.
The love of the Quran,
the love of Seydel Akhwan,
the love of the Quran,
the love of the prophet, salallahu alayhi was
salama,
he calls
that. Like this is like a garden, man,
where you find the most The
first
chapter,
100
lie,
is
on
the
chapter
of.
The first chapter
is on the chapter of.
Title heading
is the set the chapter on.
We talked about what is.
We mentioned what imam Abuhamad
Al Khazari Rahimullah,
what he said about.
And we talked about
why in Islam this form is used
right decisions, utility.
That we
showed him 2 ways. You can either be
thankful or ungrateful.
And then we talked about each word.
We explained what it means.
There
There are 3 sciences for each of those.
The science that covers all 3 is.
The second
is,
and the third is to ski to.
And
then
we started with the first hadith. We explained
the first hadith. And
then we went through the name
and his relationship
with the prophet
Muslim.
And I said to you, if
Sahabi
says,
and
the hadith is related by Bukhari and Muslim,
This is the most authentic hadith.
In Arabic, it's though to show the honor
of the messenger of Allah. I heard the
messenger of Allah. Everything about the messenger of
Allah. I heard it. Stria
to show you, like, how focused he was
as a
And we said, like every single action is
by the intention, it's impossible to
allow that interpretation not to be addressed.
He says, one of the causes that causes
people to go astray is they interpret everything
literally.
So we
say, every single action is by an intention.
This is called,
It means every single action.
But now, when you blink, when you shake
your head, is that
And the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam is
truthful.
So therefore, we have to do what's called.
Any type of possible
The prophet doesn't speak from his
He speaks
And we said this is called
means something outside of the text forces us
to interpret the text.
Say it in
his book called
in
in logic, he
says
He said that there are 3 types of
things that texts mean. In
order
for
Like for example, I gave you last time,
right?
In the 6th verse of the 5th chapter
of the Quran.
When you stand to pray, then watch.
You have to interpret this verse.
There's no way you can take this verse
literally.
In the middle
of hamdrilaterals, and irresponsible interpretations,
in the middle.
When you stand to pray, then watch. When
you stand to pray, then watch. When you
stand to pray, then then wash.
When you intend to pray, then wash. You
have to interpret that. It's called
or And I said to you,
If we finish
you're gonna have a good
background in
is very important.
If you understand Arabic, something so nice happened
in here. That's very strange.
Can you talk like that in Arabic?
If I do this If I say to
you in English, if I visit you, I
visit you.
So in Arabic, actually, there's a rule
that the condition and the condition have to
be different.
If I visit you then, honor me.
So why would say
do this?
Acceptable. But the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam as
a Razi mentions
language of the prophet is above Arabic. The
language of the Quran is the language of
revelation.
The language of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam
is the language of.
So why why would he do that?
To show us the value of liquor. To
show us the value of the value of
vicar.
What's called
in rhetoric, Sometimes it's good to mention the
noun over and over again and not the
to
show how and
All of you know this is not hard.
So he mentions it 3 times.
Why? In in Arabic to show you how
important it is.
It's called
That you mentioned the name instead of the
pronoun. If you're young, it's so to care.
When Allah's behalf, Talat talks about you.
Use, youth, youth keeps mentioning. Doesn't say they.
Use, use, use, use
to tell you
This is very strange and out of me.
And, what? What's wrong with you, man?
One time I was in Egypt, Masha'Allah.
I love Egypt. Nobody get angry at me.
I lived there for 7 years, man.
And I got in a taxi.
He was like,
you know,
He said to me,
You
have to love their sense of humor, man.
Why? Because the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
authentic.
The best thing I said in any of
the prophets before me said is.
And for us, we add to that,
And whoever migrated
for something of dunya or to Mary. We
have to be very careful understanding what this
means. That doesn't mean that
to migrate for a job or to migrate
for a livelihood is wrong.
The bounties of Allah.
Their business and their transactions don't keep them
away from the remembrance of Allah. So there's
nothing wrong with
migrating for Allah and his messenger, but that's
not why they're doing it. They act like
they're doing it for Allah and his
messenger,
but they
have hidden
a hidden agenda.
Because to get married is what?
Married,
and
young, Kirch, to get married, and young, Kirch,
to, marry has all, marrying has all 5
For the person who fears
he or she is going to fall into
if they have the conditions to marry,
foundational ruling
for example, someone is not sure they have
the means to
if somebody already married,
The
haram.
So if it has the foundation ruling is
sunnah, issue here is Imam Ibn Hajar. So
if it has the foundation ruling is sunnah,
there's nothing wrong with that. If someone moves
somewhere to marry somebody. Why? Because the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, we should marry.
The issue here is Imam Ibn Hajar. He
mentions like don't think it is
Their statements are different than what their hearts
in. Their statements are different than what their
hearts in. Their their statements are different than
what their hearts in.
Then he says,
This hadith is related by Buhari and Muslim.
The next hadith
we talked about her life, Michelle
her knowledge
is and her recorded almost 20 years ago,
umahattamot
done.
Of
the
historians say, this is a beautiful
called her,
like Chaplaincy
as a form of love, as a form
of she never had children. So, she did
a sobriety, you know, some sort of
You know, so and also because she was
so close to her nephews, as I mentioned
last week when she died, all 5 of
them, they were in her grave,
bearing her.
She said the prophet
she
said that the prophet said
that an army will approach the
and this is from
the signs of the hour. And we gave
some of the
for interpreting the signs of the hour. For
example, it's not allowed to take rulings from
them.
For example, I said, the They're
gonna build large buildings. Does that mean building
large buildings is haram?
So here she said the prophet said, win
an RME gets to a
place called
Bayadah.
Bayadah is a part
is the way of the Arabs.
They name things by what they do. Like
what's the word for?
When you when you go into the jungle,
it's from the same word as unseen.
You may know that
because if you go in there, you may
never be seen again. So they call it
a robber. But
a robber.
Right, because when somebody goes into the desert,
they're gonna usually they perish. They're gonna
usually they perish.
He talks about this lot, how the Arabs
name things about what they do,
the ancient
nabi?
So forth.
By that, the place where people go,
they never seen again.
When he said that the first of them
and the last of them will be swallowed.
Here's sisters, we learned something very Here's sisters,
we learned something very important. And brothers in
the community, the strategic entry point to ask
questions and to engage.
I said, yeah. I'm
a
The first and last, all of them, they're
gonna be swaddled to the earth. And here
we see something, the climate of justice.
That they reacted to injustice. And they reacted
to injustice. And they reacted to injustice. And
they reacted to injustice. And they reacted to
injustice. And they reacted to injustice. And they
reacted to injustice. And they acted to injustice.
And they acted to injustice. And
that they reacted to in justice.
So when she heard like all these people
are going to be destroyed.
All of them and there's some of them
they're innocent
because is acting on her sense of justice
and is acting on her sense of justice
and duty.
And that's why when we learned the hadith,
not only do we learn teachings
Like
for example, the prophet, as some
Right. The prophet said, people are going to
be resurrected naked.
People are going to be resurrected and gathered
together naked.
What does say that? We could be
naked? Her We could be naked? Her Hyatt.
In fact, you could take some of these
hadith of say to Aisha just to learn
about her akhlaq. How she reacts to what
the prophrances.
So here we learn her sense of justice.
The other hadith will get to it later
on. Her sense of what is she
doesn't care about the day of judgment. I'm
not gonna have no clothes on.
That's what she cares about.
So I want you to pay attention. When
sometimes the Sahaba will talk about big sins,
They know those people. They know who they
are. Why don't they name? Because the sense
of humanity,
the sense of duty,
culture.
Open as we'll talk about next week. So
she said to the prophet,
and here we learned something, that no imam,
no sheikh,
teacher is above being questioned. As we'll see
in the other hadith in this section. If
people ask
you questions,
One time, one of my teachers, people used
to always differ with him, you know, in
the mosque. Used to get angry. Man, be
quiet, man. Trying to finish the book.
Brothers kept stopping the.
So we went to the.
Nashe, he said,
if they're differing with me,
that means they're paying attention.
Right? They're learning.
Or so, if you're around a teacher, imam,
or group or sheikh, who
makes you feel that you can't ask them
questions,
that's a as Imam Al Khazadi talks about,
that's a warning sign, man. It's not it's
not healthy.
One time, we're sitting with Sheikh Ahmed Diye
from Sinekad
when we memorized.
This is when we're very young.
And so the sheikh, he was reading
And he said,
And I said I was, you know, young.
I said,
Right. And
And everybody
in the masjid and, oh, you're about to
get it, you know? You're about to get
it. Morib.
And he said, this is the happy, happiest
day of my life.
The more knowledge they had,
They appreciate the difficulty of learning.
So she says to the prophet and the
prophet doesn't get angry. He says,
All of them are gonna be destroyed, but
they'll be resurrected with their.
And that's the lesson of the Hadith. Right?
Always have a good nia, even in difficult
situations. It'll take you places.
The other lesson that we took from the
hadith is what? Be careful you hang out
with.
Be here for be careful who you may
die with.
And that's why some they use this hadith
to say it's not allowed to visit the
Sultan who is a. It's not allowed to
visit a leader who's corrupt. It's not allowed
to visit a leader who's corrupt. It's not
allowed to visit a leader who's corrupt. It's
not allowed to visit a leader who's corrupt.
It's not allowed to visit a leader who's
corrupt. It's not allowed to visit a leader
who's corrupt. It's not allowed to visit a
leader who's corrupt. It's not allowed to visit
a
It's not allowed to visit a leader who's
corrupt.
Because
if something goes down and the adab of
Allah comes and you're in that situation,
is from.
He says,
This hadith is related by Bukhari and Muslim.
Said that the prophet said,
For Taban, this is called.
When you see and after is,
this means
all of the
are excluded from this.
All of them included in this.
That's why Imam Al Baydawi,
he says
There's absolutely
no Hijra.
What it means is hijra to mecca.
It's madina. There's
no hijra from inniware.
And here there's something missing.
Does it mean? It means that there's no
hijrah to Medina after the opening of Mecca.
To Medina after the opening of the
Maybe somebody asked now, like to make hijra
from America,
to go to Dubai,
Dara Islom.
Or
one of those places in the Muslim world.
Which is not bad. Like it's good to
see people using
these things for good
But sometimes you have to be careful what
you say, man, because it can have an
impact.
At that time, what's like southern
Europe,
Skanderia
to Egypt.
So he mentions
the opinion of
Sadat Sheffey.
It's something very profound.
Other opinions, of course. We respect those opinions.
But we should
I
asked,
my he said, we have 91 Meddhabs.
But Sadat to Sheff, yeah, the, the timid
in the mad
herd. It's a different person lives in an
anonymous domain.
They're able to make dua.
They're able to live their life
according to them.
It's an obligation to stay.
Why?
He said something beautiful.
This. It's to call people to Allah. Like
me.
Like some of the other brothers and sisters
here, if everybody left,
who's going to call me
to Allah
But this is a personal decision,
by the way.
So
somebody
in their life, they need to take accountability
of their own pixels,
their own That's
why one of my teachers used to say,
this is
is
a particular
to the person.
Yeah. You don't know about that, do you?
I had the bananas and rice, bro.
I know about the Sambusa.
So
this is there's a number of opinions, but
you have to be very
sure. When you talk about these kind of
issues, you mentioned the other opinions. Some, like,
say you gotta go. You gotta make you
gotta get out of there.
They said, you didn't.
So that people are able to appreciate
maybe their needs and their situation.
That's the job of the.
Is gonna lead you astray and lead people
astray.
It's called.
Talk about it in the future.
Will last until the end of time.
And
the lesson here in this hadid
is to always have intention.
Rahimullah.
His son asked him one day,
advised me.
He said, always have a good intention.
And
talk about your intention. It can turn like
drinking water, spending time with your family,
playing games with your son,
spending time with your daughter,
date night with a husband, with a wife.
The intention
will turn this into to
an act that brings us near to Allah.
That's why in the
Quran,
one of our teachers used to say, the
close ones close with their
was the youngest person to accept Islam from
Medina. It's * and law. His father, some
of the early people who embraced Islam. And
it's
some of the early people who embraced Islam.
And his father died
in Badr.
He left him at a very young age
in charge of his family.
Something beautiful about her
when he was very old.
He would go to sham
to learn hadith from.
It was old. It was very old. He
came to Syria, old man, Sahabi.
And then even in Medina, he would go
to Mecca and take certain hadith,
And then toward the end of his life,
he had a halakah
in the masjid of the prophet
He said, we're with the messenger of Allah
in a battle.
And the prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa salamat,
he said,
that
in Madinah, there's some
So you haven't walked
any steps,
And you haven't
traversed.
Even though those people, they are known to
observe.
Sahaba knew who they were. He didn't say,
we left such and such people. And such.
And it's hard to translate this in English
sort of, but it
implies
a
It implies
awesomeness,
the indefinite article. That's why Allah Subhanata, when
he talks about his book, he says,
is a because the noor of the Quran
cannot be defined. That's how you can appreciate
it maybe in English.
He cannot be defined in his goodness.
Salallahu
alayhi wasalam.
Like, man, they didn't come with us. We
went to the battle. They didn't join us.
Whatever.
Indeed.
That's why
He mentions the purpose
and the place of. We're going to stop
here for the aden.
We're gonna stop here for the adhan,
and then we can continue.
And also, in this hadith, you can appreciate
something nice.
Without Alif and Lam. Why? Alif and Lam
means completeness. It's perfect everything you need. It's
El Medina, the perfect city. The perfect city.
It's
It's El
Medina, the perfect
everything you want from it.
Because their
greatness cannot be defined.
Though the mercy of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam
cannot be restricted.
You
didn't walk one step
And you didn't pass through any valley. Here
we understand that the difficulty of the Jihad
of the Sahar.
The challenges that they faced in
except they are with you. They're not physically
with them.
How are they with them?
There's another narration from Seyda Anis,
Meaning that they were sick, they were sick,
they were unable to join us. Some kind
of sickness, some kind of
debilitating issue. Debilitating issue.
We talked about,
this axiom,
They facilitate. Islam facilitates, as Imam Sheifi said.
When things get difficult,
the Sharia expands.
Allah wants ease for you.
It doesn't mean ease and disobedience.
It means ease when legitimately there's difficulties.
Has removed the burdens from you and human
beings were made weak.
The profit removed from them their shackles,
the fetters that held them down, meaning the
mosaic law.
So mosaic law is full of jizziette as
we're going to see in the last
Those particulars, the
Sharia, remove them
for
for facilitation.
As he said from the hadith of,
this hadith is in
I was sent to teach in the facility.
Muslim. Another narration, except they are going to
share with you in the reward,
the Why?
Because their
intention is sincere.
So sometimes
and the professor of Swami, he mentioned this,
that if somebody is kept from doing something
they would regularly do, they're kept from doing
something, they would regularly do.
Their
their and their and
And they start to beat themselves up. No,
no. Just make intention to show a lot.
That if you were healthy, you would
stipulated for you.
Asking people to donate.
And Ana Sivdomatic, he could write.
Ansari, from Ansari. He could write.
She said, yeah, absolutely.
Awesomena.
I haven't found anything to donate except my
son. He can write
was Sayna Aniston.
I heard this from Shaykh Mottaheri
bless him and his wealth and his
progeny.
And as he became very wealthy
and he said, 10 of my,
you know, my children and grandchildren, all of
them are
My hope will bring me
inshallah
to
be with the prophet.
There are some people.
They they are we left them behind in
Medina.
And you didn't
walk one step,
nor
did you cross
any valley.
Is a legitimate excuse. We have an axiom
in Islam. Like a legitimate excuse is considered,
Like a legitimate excuse is considered
is one of the major axioms. People are
forgiven if they don't know before you go
up on some I go up on somebody.
At least let me make sure that they
know
before I hold them accountable, knowledge before accountability.
What are those 5
that
we mentioned?
Number 1 is fear. Legitimately
scared,
the
Sharia creates dispense.
For example, to have a dog,
because you're scared somebody's going to hurt you.
Maybe you live in the middle of Virginia
somewhere next to Bo Luke,
Bo Duke or something.
And you're
worried. He had a dog during the because
they were and one day, they they killed
700
So, ibn Abi Zaidi had a dog. People
came to me and said, you you have
a dog. But madick is not allowed. He
said, if madick was alive today, he would
have a lion
to protect his house.
Meaning like real fear.
The third is traveling.
The 4th
is.
So, and it's a little bit of a
is being forced, as we're going to talk
about later in the last hadith, being forced
to do being forced to do being forced
to do being forced to do being forced
to do
being
forced
the hadith, right? My
was forgiven for forgetting and what they were
forced to do. So those 5 are from
the.
His poem on,
he mentions these 5 and he says, the
4
of Islam agree on these
all of them. The application they made differ
So, example, fear and sickness go together.
Again, I studied the chef, he met him,
but I'm mad at you, but not like
fanatical.
Again, Imam Ibn Hajar Haytham, he said if
someone's fasting and they they're worried that they
may get sick from fasting, don't have to
go ask a doctor
because that that fear they know themselves
is
from.
And that Hadith, we're gonna talk about parents
and kids.
And
how
he took his father to court.
So I took him to the prophet for
judgment.
Imam ibn Hajar says that in these kind
of issues,
this does not violate
respecting our parents.
Because this is an issue of law.
So after,
we'll continue.
Why?
Because mine wasn't needed.
His family wasn't anything. Here, we're gonna learn
something we learned
in Daulkisteq,
and then that will come off.
We'll general well, we'll need the man in
Canada.
We say, if you can make 2 things
work, it's better than
than not making them work.
And then father said, well, he met,
he had a very hard marriage.
So what did he do?
Man, I hate my dad.
I'm a go on Facebook and put him
on blast.
I'm gonna write a blog for the medium.
Destroy my father.
I took him for judgment to the messenger
of Allah.
I took him to the prophet for adjudication.
This hadith is actually very important
in certain issues
with our parents. We're gonna talk about it
at the last hadith also.
Resporting
them.
Because we have a very important axiom.
If something needs to be taught to us
by the prophet,
it's impossible for us to believe he wouldn't
teach us.
Physically abused, physically abused. And they will say,
you know, I love my,
look how much I love their parents, man.
I love my father, I love my
I've seen even, unfortunately, people sexually assaulted by
a parent.
I love them.
Lot of children is,
And there's a few cases between them. Some
of them are sort of funny that happened
with him and his son. And there's a
few cases between them. Some of them are
sort of funny that happened with him and
his son. And that happened with him and
his son. And
said to the father, you will get what
you intended for. And as we said, our
purpose in explaining this book is not to
get too much into other stuff.
The lesson from the hadith is his intention.
You
intended
to give that,
so you received that
genius of the Prophet
And that's why one of the lessons we
take from this hadith
is to be involved in da'wah, you need
to know how to settle arguments. Like now,
Maasha,
you have to be skilled in the art
of dealing with people.
It's not easy.
And the community is not going to be
like you want it to be. That's
to the father,
You got your.
He decide one or the other?
Because to give is good. But to give
to your family is best. So the prophet
sallallahuallahuallahuallahuallahuallahuallahuallahuallam,
So the Prophet
brought together
2 goods
in one decision.
The next hadith from Abby is Haq. Sorry.
Even Abby.
1 of the 10 promised Jannah.
It's from the early people who embraced Al
Islam.
He said, this hadith is really beautiful and
it shows us the character of the prophet.
He said in the farewell pilgrimage.
Says
it's
the pilgrimage of Balar.
As Samara Sahaba called it because the prophet
delivered everything Allah commanded him to deliver.
He said the prophet
came to visit me. I was ill from
a serious
sickness, it had become very
difficult on me.
You can see
how sick I am. Benefit. It's okay to
complain about sickness. It's okay to say, like,
I don't feel well.
It's
okay to mention,
right?
Like, I'm not I'm not up to par.
Because again, it's impossible for us to believe
that a monkar would happen in front of
the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam and he
would what? Would happen in front of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and he would
what?
And I'm very rich. 2nd lesson we take
from the hadith, it's okay to mention the
things that Allah has given you.
Now, he said to someone,
fear Allah, brother. You shouldn't say that.
And also in.
It's important important and iftar
when someone's talking to
you or asking a question
that they give you as much detail as
they can. I hate when people ask a
question, then you give them an answer like,
well, actually, there's one more thing. So Then
you give them an answer like, well, actually,
there's one more thing.
One more thing.
After the answer?
So that tells you they're hunting
for something.
So And I have no one to inherit
from me except my daughter.
Then he said,
and there's 2 narrations.
But the ulama
that we read a hadith with,
they prefer
a.
Again, it's not the purpose of our lecture.
But just so you can write it in
your notes. There's 2 ways to read it.
Then he said,
so half of my wealth? No. That's why
means half. I heard from Sheikha Didu.
If you're praying out, you have this much
space, like, to figure it out. You know?
Sometimes brothers, they start fighting over a centimeter.
I heard also this from Sheikh
Solon Mehra.
So he said,
And this is from the
the
narrator.
And it's acceptable for the narrator to do
the
Then he said,
It's better if you leave your family.
It's better if you leave your
people and who inherit from you
in a good state.
Here we learn
something.
That Islam is in the middle.
It rests between
the opulence of Joel Osteen and the
prosperity theology.
If you're rich, God loves you. Like really
ask.
Or the irresponsibility
of people who say like, you know, you
shouldn't earn anything. You should leave the dunya.
Imam
Sa'idim
al Mosayev. He said, there's no good in
someone who doesn't have enough wealth to protect
himself, and protect his family, and protect his
community.
So Islam encourages us to look for
sufficiency.
Not opulence. If somebody, Allah blesses them with
wealth,
If somebody is tested with
a lack of means,
but the goal is sufficiency.
That's what the prophet
said,
related by the best of you.
Is the one who is provided sufficiency.
And sufficiency also is a state of where
I'm at.
Like, what do I need?
Let me ask myself
to feel sufficient.
So
he said it's better like if you leave
your
They're
they have sustainability.
Wealth.
Now, we have a lot of investment
vehicles that are Sharia compliant
in the Muslim community. You know,
there's a lot of opportunity now.
You can ask the Sheikh about
Bitcoin.
I told them I'm not doing any You
can ask
very beautiful
very beautiful. He said, you're not going to
spend anything in the cause of Allah.
In your wife's mouth, you'll be rewarded for.
That can mean 2 things. You actually put
food in her
or you buy food for her that she
puts in her mouth. Alhamdulillah,
either way,
And here we learn something from the prophets
of Islam. Think about the last few haditha
we talked about. The prophets are on a
battle field and it's about. The prophets are
on a battlefield
and his
Still, he teaches on a battlefield.
The Hadith of Sayna Anna Simomati.
Still, he's teaching here at the deathbed.
Presumably at that time, they were worried
of Saadi, and
still he's what?
He's teaching. Because.
Impossible for us to believe that the prophets
weren't the best teachers. And that any moment,
they have a
an opportunity to teach that brings benefit.
Hid this.
Even someone's dead bed he's teaching. Even on
the battlefield he's teaching. With his wife when
she argues with him. And so this is
evidence you can use when people say the
Prophet hid this. Even someone's dead bed he's
teaching. Even on the battlefield he's teaching. With
his wife when she argues with him.
With his wife when she argues with him.
Uses any moment.
One time I was in one country,
nice country, Bilal Ahmed,
in Egypt.
Had this taxi driver. Right? My son was
with me, Madik.
So this guy was smoking. You know those
cigarettes overseas, they put like insect repellent in
them. They're trying to kill a Muslim man.
He had the Cleobetras.
Cleobetra.
I said,
man, what kind of sick you sure it's
a cigarette? That's the first question.
Secondly, what what's going on here? And he's
like looking at me smoking. We're going to
sit to October. It's one small city. And
my son was sitting on my lap.
Started thinking, man, how can I ask him?
He's very old. And you know, he's had
a hard day. It's
a tough life, man.
So I need to think, how can I
get him to stop smoking? Because I'm sure
so many people told him like, stop smoking.
Story. He loves something called
small piece of candy. Right? So I
said, yeah,
speak So you know,
my son, right,
he loves candy. I can't get him to
stop.
And you seem like a very wise man.
Would you be able to advise him
not to eat candy?
He said, yeah. Yeah. You
see like little boy. You know what?
Don't you know anything that harms you?
You shouldn't digest it.
Then he went like this.
He took it out the window.
And he said, I
said,
Right? He said, is this like the intro
to what you're about to tell me? I
was like, yeah. This is the intro.
And then I didn't I didn't actually have
to say anything after that. Right? He said
it to himself,
but then he said to me, you know
what, man? He said, I'm really gonna try
hard, but I'm under a lot of pressure,
stress, and nicotine,
you know,
cools my nerves, the menthols.
And
nobody ever took the time to talk to
me like this. People just yell at me.
I said, okay, just do your best. So
the prophets, alaihis salaam, and these moments,
we see you're gonna see this to hadith.
He positions himself wisely and responsibly and deliberately
to teach.
And
then Sad, even though he's sick, he has
questions. Look at the Sahaba.
How many hadith now did we see where
the Sahaba asked questions? Say, did we see
where the Sahaba asked questions?
Say it's
why it's important to ask questions.
As we said earlier,
he said, You Rasool Allah. Oh messenger of
Allah.
His question actually is not easy. Am I
gonna am I gonna live after these people?
Did the prophet say to him like, you're
a coward.
What kind of man are you? Coward,
how are Jordan Peterson fans feeling today?
And then people say, there's no imams to
model manhood for us. No, there's no imams
that model the manhood you're looking
for. You found it where you were looking.
And the fact that you need someone to
model manhood for you is perhaps indicative
that you got issues, bro. Prophet, salallahu alayhi
wasalam. Why you need someone else? Don't get
caught up in the right and left in
America. It's
an endless quicksand.
Live after these people?
The prophet Adi is salatos salam. He doesn't
correct him
because this is a hard situation to be
in. He's talking about his inheritance.
And here we see the Sahaba
even under duress.
They're worried about
they're worried about Ibad.
The prophet
You
know, you will
you will not live
and do any good
except it's for Allah,
except you will be increased.
And your station in the hereafter, and you
being raised in this life and the hereafter.
And you're being raised in this life and
the hereafter.
And you being raised in this life in
the hereafter.
He said, in fact, you will live.
And the means it's gonna happen. So this
is That's
why I said that Imam Al Bayhaki, he
mentions this hadith in The
evidence of the Prophet. Said, indeed you're gonna
live.
And you will live long enough that you
will benefit some people,
people that are evil, the people that are
posed, they'll be harmed by your presence. They'll
be harmed by your presence.
He died in Mecca.
His question is, am I gonna die here?
Am I gonna be able to leave Mecca
and be with them and be with you
and continue?
And this is the sign of a of
a and a believer,
consistency,
Even in the in the face of real
threat like.
That guy, he said to those people, follow
the messengers. Then he died.
I wish I could go back and tell
them. Even Abbas said he called them and
he wished he could call them and and
a hero.
His his consistency here
of course, we could talk about him
forever. There's a number of half of the
even he mentions like there's a lot of
differences over his name.
But say,
he comes with
If you speak Arabic.
Why?
Because according to and Al Half of
this is his strong
like the strong opinion about his name.
Some people said his name, Abdul Shams, you
know, so on and so forth.
And the prophet named him because
he was always with cats. We know the
story. We know the
story.
Doesn't look at the
Allah doesn't look at your shapes and your
bodies.
We
have
religious justice. It's bigger than social justice. Have
religious justice. It's bigger than social justice. As
one brother told me, my political theory is
this,
my political theory is that, because political nomenclature
has taken over America. We're not a political
community. We're a prophetic community who engages politics,
like,
It's very important.
We're a political community we're a religious prophetic
community that has a political political needs.
That's important.
Theorrhythm? It's then how are you working for
Islam?
So this hadid is very important.
Is
not concerned.
Your shapes and your sizes
and your physical appearance.
What's concerned is where your heart is.
What's concerned is where the nia is, And
then the actions that follow the intention.
This hadith is very important.
Is the great great great grandson of Imam
Ali Sunn Abi Hassan Ali Ashari. That's a
great great great grandfather.
So when you curse
Imam Abu Hassan,
So the prophet said to him like, you
did Hidra twice, man. You did Hidra to
Havishah, then you came to Medina.
And he fought
so many battles, more than 19 battles
with the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam. They said
like and the companions and so on and
so forth. The prophet
says,
Allah Oh, Allah forgive him of his sins.
And enter him into Jannah
in an honorable way.
The prophet was asked, here we go again.
You see a pattern
that oftentimes,
the great teachings that we learn from the
from the messenger of Allah are from questions.
And when I started teaching at NYU, I
thought this is NYU.
Smart kids, smart school,
smart place.
Right. The 1st week, I was teaching Tufts
here.
Every time they raise their hands,
say about
And they said, asking questions.
Like, what do we do to people, man?
They're sorry for asking questions. So we made
a rule, and we're gonna make this rule
here safe.
Anybody says sorry has to donate $10 to
Themischief.
Nah, it's $10 for us. Inflation. Inflation. Inflation,
bro.
Neo liberals killing us,
man. So
so
in in NYU, it was $5 to Islamic
Relief, because you know, they're students.
They have student loan forgiveness now. Maybe it
would be $10
if I was there.
And here actually is something beautiful in this
hadith.
Also about the Sahaba.
If you have children, you can appreciate
to be known as being brave,
and fights
for recognition.
The prophet
They said, Which one of them is?
Actually, if you think about it, they're asking
about the
said,
look, the
Sahaba,
level of now knowledge has risen, where they're
asking, like, which one what's what makes this
right? What makes it the way it is?
What makes it acceptable? Our kids ask us
this why, why, why, why? All the time.
Prophet, salallahu alayhi wasalam, he said,
Whoever fights so that
the word of Allah,
meaning sincerely,
for Allah, then that person has fought in
the cause of Allah. The hadith Mutafakkuna. We'll
finish with this last hadith
because this last narrator is so nice.
He was a slave.
And he came to Mecca,
and he embraced Al Islam,
and the people of
Medina, and he embraced Islam.
And the people of thought if they asked
a prophet,
send him back.
Abden,
Abdullena,
he's like,
and a lot of what he was salama,
he responded, here's religious justice. He said, in
their
a law,
the emancipated
of
And he refused to send him.
And so it's really a beautiful story. He
named himself, I am the freed slave of
the messenger of Allah.
I've been emancipated by the messenger of Allah.
Something interesting about him also
is in the battle between the Sahaba, he
refused to get involved. It's interesting when you
hear the hadith he narrated.
So in Sufim,
he didn't get involved in that stuff. He
stayed back. That was his itchy head.
Don't think Alifilam here is for Islam.
Here is is the word.
Is part of the word, which means when
they meet,
we say He
He said, if 2 Muslims meet with their
swords out,
the killer and the killed are in *.
Said,
oh,
messenger
of
Allah.
I said,
oh, messenger of Allah.
He said, yeah. Okay. The one that killed,
we understand.
But the one that was killed
and here's why I say, now we put
it in this collection, in this section.
He said,
he intended to kill the other one.
Means his intention was there.
The they talked about this hadith.
Again, I don't wanna open up the door
like premeditated
murder.
This hadidus
mentioned,
and so on and so forth.
They talk about it. But some people they
ask, they're both in *, but they're Muslim.
And so
they're both in *, but they're Muslim.
Well, I it's very beautiful one point, because
they didn't make Tova.
One who died,
he couldn't make TOWBA because he died.
And it's assumed that the one who killed,
this is a hypothetical,
didn't make Chopper.
The other interpretation
is that they're inhaled but not permanent.
Imam al Hafiz
and Fatou Berri, he mentions, like, they're in
*, they will be recompensed for their evil.
And then eventually, they'll be brought out of
hellfire.
Next week. We have 3 hadith before we
finish this chapter.
And then we will move on.
