AI: Summary ©
The history of the Hadith period was a period where Sayna Muhammad sallali was the most knowledgeable of the Quran. The message of the book Al Qaeda Al Hayab Fishar Alaysab is to be mindful of the words of Jesus and not to feel insecure when asked questions. The importance of service is crucial for older individuals to manage their lives, and " ham" in Arabic is used to signal a need for attention to others. The segment ends with a discussion of the use of " ham" in Arabic to signal a need for attention to others.

Welcome to

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

our Masha'Allah

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

journey through

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

the book Al Alam Al Hayab Fishar Al

00:00:35 --> 00:00:35

Karim Al Tayib.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

This really cool explanation written by imam Badruddin

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

Al Aini

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

of the book

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

of prophetic supplications

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

collected by imam Ibn Taymiyyah. What's in front

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

of you, I wanna be able to frame

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

this class for you,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

is around 250

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

hadith.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

Some of them are gonna be somewhat repetitive.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

They may say the same things. They're going

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

to teach you and I the different supplications

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

that we say

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

for different moments in our life. Success, anxiety,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

sickness, health,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

rags to riches, istikhara,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

all those things. And then we're going to

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

add to those

00:01:10 --> 00:01:10

narrations,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

explanations of the language, how to do them.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

And then additionally, as we grow here at

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

Swiss, we're going to add separate videos that

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

teach you how to say,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

each of these supplications

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

Insha'Allah.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

And we know that the the Quran

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

says,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

right? That hearts find tranquility

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

in the remembrance of Allahu subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:35

And that's why

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

every situation in the Quran you find dhikr.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

Even in divorce, subhanAllah, you find dhikr.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

Even on the battlefield, like if you meet

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

your enemy,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

stay strong and remember Allah. So the remembrance

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

of Allah is something which is really comprehensive

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

and provides for us avenues to worship Allah

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

in in any given situation. Now we reached

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

the 15th Hadith,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

and I know there's some issues with the

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

numbering, and that's because oftentimes

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

prints are different.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

Arabic prints and then you get into the

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

translation and it becomes really a mess. Sometimes

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

have different numbering. So

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

don't don't let that freak you out. Alright?

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

This is the 15th hadith and it's related

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

Radhiallahu Anhu. Abdullah ibn Mas'ud accepted Islam very

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

young in Mecca.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

He saw the prophet salallahu

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

and Abu Bakr eating differently.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

He noticed that they were eating differently. They

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

were eating with their right hand, they said

00:02:39 --> 00:02:39

bismillah.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

And he noticed this. So he asked them

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

about it in the hills of Mecca,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

like, why do you eat like that? And

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

instead of feeling

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

insecure when being

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

questioned and examined by the youth,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

We see that these 2 middle aged men

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

understood how to harness

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

the

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

ingenuity

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

and curiosity of young people. Sometimes people in

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

leadership, when young people ask them questions, if

00:03:05 --> 00:03:05

they're older,

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

they see it as a challenge. Sometimes as

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

parents, right? We feel like, oh, our kids

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

are asking us questions. This is a sign

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

of disrespect.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

Look at Sayna Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

the best of creation. If anyone had the

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

right

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

to feel,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:20

inhibited

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

or presumptuous,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

it would be the best of creation.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

But instead he said, enter hulamu alim, you

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

are a very intelligent young man.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

So he builds

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

on the confidence of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. And

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

accepts Islam

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

and becomes one of the sahaba who witnessed

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

Badr, witnessed almost all of the battles of

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

the Messenger of Allah, salallahu alaihi wasallam. And

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

he used to carry hamalna 'aliyahrassulillah.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

He used to carry the sandals of the

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

Messenger, salallahu alaihi wa sallam. And he used

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

to to bring them to him and put

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

them on the feet of the messenger of

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

Allah

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

salallahu alaihi wa sallam. And

00:04:00 --> 00:04:00

you know,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

he was also one of the most knowledgeable

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

of the Quran.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

In fact the prophet,

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

salallahu alaihi wasallam said, idnuqaalayya

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

and turfa'ul hijab. You know, 'Abdu'l alaihi wa

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

sallam had such a relationship with the messenger

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

of Allah

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

that the prophet said if you see, you

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

know, the curtain drawn in front of my

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

home, like the door, what we would consider

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

like a door not open, you're free to

00:04:22 --> 00:04:22

enter.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

And Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radiAllahu anhu used to

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

listen to the prophet

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

review the Quran

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

with Sayna Jibreel alayhi salam.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

So we also learn something if we're younger,

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

right? And that is

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

the the importance of service when we're young.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

Like nowadays people, they're young and they wanna

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

be like, successful.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:45

Success

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

has different meanings, right?

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

But one of the key components of success

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

is service.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

So we see Abdullah ibn Mas'ud becomes the

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

most knowledgeable of the Quran, according to the

00:04:57 --> 00:04:57

prophet

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

he achieves

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

success through service.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:06

So there's this ability to manage beautifully. We

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

see sometimes this

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

this ageism in the community and these generational

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

struggles. Here we see the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

wa sallam and with him Abu Bakr

00:05:15 --> 00:05:15

encourage

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

the zeal of the young person. And then

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

we see Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radiAllahu anhu are

00:05:21 --> 00:05:21

able to

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

channel his zeal into initially being someone of

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

service.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

And through his service, he becomes, you know

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

what I mean, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. I remember

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

working in universities now for almost 8 years

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

or so.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

One of the most important questions

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

is

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

what kind of service have you done when

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

you're filling out your college applications? Wanna know

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

what kind of non profit work have you

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

done? How have you volunteered in your community?

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

And we mean meaningful

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

volunteerism. To the point that sometimes

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

we will even probe people and ask them

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

like, what do you mean by you volunteered?

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

That's something that we look for. So so

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

service is very important. So whether you're in

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

MSA, with your parents,

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

or people around you, your spouse, your kids,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

look at Seyda Musa.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

Right? He becomes a prophet

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

initially by trying to serve

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

his family.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

So he goes for physical fire, he comes

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

back, mashAllah, with prophetic fire.

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

So service.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

And then for us old folks,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

we should not always feel threatened

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

by the ingenuity and brilliance of young people,

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

but instead we should be secure. And that

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

we should encourage them.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

So here the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

we we learn something beautiful from Sayyidina

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

Abdullah

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

ibn Mas'ud

00:06:37 --> 00:06:37

radiAllahu

00:06:38 --> 00:06:38

ta'ala Anhu.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

He died around 32, 33 after hijri. Sayyidina

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

Uthman ibn Affan, he prayed upon him with

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

a strong opinion.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

Even though he spent the majority of his

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

time in Kufa, toward the end of his

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

life, he was buried in Al Baqih in

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

Madinah,

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

as was his wish and Sayyidina Uthman ibn

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Affan, sallallahu alaihiil Janaza,

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

led the the prayer for him. Abdullah ibn

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

Mas'ud says, kharan Nabi Yusala alaihi wasallam.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

Ibrahim

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says, I met Ibrahim

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

on the night that I was taken on

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

Isra.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

The word Isra is from Isra, Yousri

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

Isra,

00:07:18 --> 00:07:18

Isra

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

and. Isra means to travel at night.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

Specifically to travel at night. The form

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

asra

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

implies

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

that something caused something else to travel.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

So

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

You know, glorified is the one who

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

took his servant

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

to travel at night.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

Meaning the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. We learned

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

something also from this verse in Surat al

00:07:47 --> 00:07:47

Isra,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, Imam

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

Okurtubi said this was the height of his

00:07:52 --> 00:07:53

professional career

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

and Allah calls him Abdi, calls him his

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

servant. He doesn't call bihabibihi

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

bi Rasurihi, he says with my servant.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

So the way to reach true success is

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

through the servitude and devotion

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Also we learned

00:08:07 --> 00:08:08

something else from this,

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

hadith which is beautiful is that souls and

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

we're gonna talk about this when we do

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

our series on the hereafter. We have a

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

special series we're working on just that goes

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

over all the stuff you need to know

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

about the hereafter. Just like we have 1

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

on Qada and Qadr,

00:08:24 --> 00:08:24

fate.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

That souls can be

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

in the afterlife in more than one place.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

So the prophet he met Sayid Ibrahim there,

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

but at the same time we know Sayid

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

Ibrahim is with the children who died in

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

Jannah.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:40

We know that the prophet met Sayidna Ibrahim

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

in Masjid Al Aqsa, so there is this

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

strong opinion that souls

00:08:45 --> 00:08:46

can be in different realms.

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

It's pretty cool, right? In the hereafter. So

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

he says, lakitu

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

I met Ibrahim.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:53

Also,

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

we learn something here in the etiquettes of

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

of the student of knowledge, or any type

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

of success.

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

It's okay to mention

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

a great accomplishment.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

If there's benefit for people.

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09

Because imagine, Sayna Muhammad is saying,

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

You know, I I met Ibrahim on the

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

night I was taken on Isra.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

The night that Allah took me on Isra.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

In Arabic it's in the passive tense.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

Here we learn something that it's okay to

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

mention success,

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

especially if we're going to wa'amma bi nahmatyarabikafahhadith.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

If we're going to

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

note that that success is from Allah

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

or that we were not the sole cause

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

of it. So see how the prophet's wording

00:09:38 --> 00:09:38

is

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

So he actually mentions a number of things.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

Number 1, he's a prophet. Number 2, he

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

met Sayna Ibrahim. And number 3, Israa and

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

Mi'raj.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

And that's why we believe in most most

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

introductory books of the aqidah as you'll see

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

in essentials of Islamic faith, and the second

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

book, aqidatulawam,

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01

there is a special section on Isra because

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

it's considered the night journey of the prophet,

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

one of the greatest miracles of the prophet.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:05

Laylatusriabiifaqalaya

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

Muhammad.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

And then Sayna Ibrahim, he said to the

00:10:10 --> 00:10:11

prophet, O Muhammad

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

salallahu alayhi wasalam, aqri ummatakamini

00:10:15 --> 00:10:15

salam.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

Please relay salaam to your community.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

Can you imagine Allahu Akbar Sayyidina Ibrahim sent

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

salaams to us?

00:10:24 --> 00:10:28

And he requested our beloved messenger Muhammad sallallahu

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

alaihi wasallam,

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

give your ummah

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

salaams from me. Like, can you imagine?

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

Like you belong to a community that prophets,

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

they send salaams to you. For

00:10:44 --> 00:10:48

this reason, right, That prophet Ibrahim sent a

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

salaams, now you understand something. What do you

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

say in your tahiyyah?

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

What do you say in the tahiyyah?

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

You say,

00:11:11 --> 00:11:14

We respond to the salaam of Sayna

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

Ibrahim because he sent us salaams. So that's

00:11:17 --> 00:11:18

why subhanAllah,

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

we mentioned him in the tashahhut.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

Allahu Akbar. Learn something else, the importance of

00:11:23 --> 00:11:24

gratitude,

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

being grateful,

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

appreciating people's efforts.

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

Allahu Akbar is such a cool hadith man.

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

So he said, lakhi to Ibrahim

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

laila to usriyabi.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

I met Sayna Ibrahim on the night of

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39

Isra in Mi'raj

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

faqaraia

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

Muhammadun,

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

and he said, O Muhammad Aqarei Ummatakamini

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

salam.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

Give salaams

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

to your community from me. Wa'akhbirhum.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

And inform them.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

And as we'll talk about in another one

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

of our books in Hakidah,

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

Nasafiya,

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

when he says all of the prophets, muqbireen.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:02

All of the prophets,

00:12:03 --> 00:12:03

they

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

they made sure to relay the message. So

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

So here's something incredible.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11

Ibrahim alayhis salatu salam was not sent to

00:12:11 --> 00:12:11

us

00:12:12 --> 00:12:15

explicitly. Right? Implicitly all the prophets were sent

00:12:15 --> 00:12:15

to us because

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam embodies all

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

of the prophets.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

But because he's such a passionate teacher,

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

because he has so much yakin

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

certainty

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

in what he's teaching. He's a prophet, right?

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

At any moment,

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

at any moment,

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

he takes the opportunity to teach.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

So he says

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

he didn't say

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

ughbirok. He didn't say I'm telling you because

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

the prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he

00:12:46 --> 00:12:47

already knows.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

But tell them I have something to teach

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

them even though I'm not sent to them.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

Alayhi salatu wassalam.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

Because the prophets were passionate

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

about education.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

The prophets, alayhim salatu salam, were

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

as we talk about in the conditions of

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

prophethood tablikh,

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

like they're gonna let the message out there.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

They they can't be contained. So now, when

00:13:10 --> 00:13:13

we look at the contours of the world,

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

and the continued

00:13:15 --> 00:13:16

oppression and conditioning

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

of muslims,

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

we cannot stop calling to Allah subhanahu wa

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

ta'ala.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

We have to continue to call the people

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

to Allah.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

So we learn something here.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

In this this first part of this hadith,

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

we learn something from our father, Sayyidina Ibrahim.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:34

And that is,

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

he models edeb

00:13:39 --> 00:13:39

and teaching.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

He's humble, gives salaams to your ummah. He

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

didn't say like, I'm your father, I named

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

you guys muslims, I'm this, I'm this, I'm

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

this, I'm this, I'm this. Religion is not

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

about utility for the prophets. He said, akhbir

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

hoom.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

And then teach them. So he models salaam

00:13:56 --> 00:13:56

adab,

00:13:56 --> 00:13:59

and he models being an educator. Often times

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

we talk about the etiquettes of the student.

00:14:00 --> 00:14:02

What about the etiquettes of the teacher?

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

So say to Ibrahim Ali, he salatu salam,

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

you Muhammad.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

Oh Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the respect

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

given to the prophet Akhir.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:13

Umma taqamini salam, please give my salaam to

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

your ummah wa akhbirhum and teach them. So

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

adab adab teaching.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21

Adab You Muhammad, adab give salaam to your

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

ummah teaching waakhbirhum

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

and teach them annaljannatalpayeeba

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

tu torba.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

That Jannah has a sweet soil, that the

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

soil of Jannah is pure and sweet,

00:14:35 --> 00:14:35

albatulma

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

and that its water is pure and sweet.

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

Wa'an nahal qiya'an. Qiya'an

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

is like a flat land between a bunch

00:14:44 --> 00:14:44

of mountains.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

Almost like a valley.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

Right? But it's lush.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

It's not rocky. It's earth is smooth

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

and easy to manage

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

and easy to traverse. That's qiyaan.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

Qiyaan.

00:14:58 --> 00:14:58

Qiyaan.

00:14:59 --> 00:15:01

Wa ana ri raasaha. And then if you

00:15:01 --> 00:15:02

want to cultivate

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

jannah, if you wanna grow something in jannah,

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

here are the seeds,

00:15:07 --> 00:15:10

metaphorically, you should plant. So he says,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

subhanAllah.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

You should say, subhanAllah. So, say, Ibrahim is

00:15:14 --> 00:15:15

saying, wa'annakirasaha.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:18

And what is going to cultivate the jannah

00:15:18 --> 00:15:19

for them is what? The statement,

00:15:20 --> 00:15:20

subhanAllah.

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

Saying subhanAllah. Once I had this friend, right?

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

He used to cuss. So we're in the

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

car. I said, instead of saying that, why

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

don't you say subhanAllah? So he started, subhanAllah,

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

subhanAllah. And then every once in a while

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

he would cuss. And I would say, hey

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

man, you just uncultivated your jannah. Like you

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

just cut down a tree that you built

00:15:34 --> 00:15:35

by saying, SubhanAllah.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:36

Walhamdurillah

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

in praising Allah,

00:15:41 --> 00:15:41

in saying

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is the greatest.

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

This is a good hadith related by Sayna

00:15:55 --> 00:15:56

wa imamana attirmidhi

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

This takes us now to the 16th hadith

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

according to this print, which is the last

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

hadith in this chapter.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:06

On

00:16:07 --> 00:16:08

the virtues

00:16:09 --> 00:16:12

of dhikr and inspiring us to remember Allah

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

and supplicate to Allah. And this hadith is

00:16:15 --> 00:16:16

from Abu Musal Ashari.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

RadiAllahu anhu who said qalaliyanabiyu.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said to me,

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

Allahu Akbar. Here we see the prophet as

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

a teacher using different methods of teaching to

00:16:33 --> 00:16:34

get the

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

attention of the student. The word Allah in

00:16:36 --> 00:16:37

Arabic is called harfotambi.

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

Allah, you know, implies like a deliberate

00:16:42 --> 00:16:42

interference

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

in someone's life to try to get their

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

attention. Allah.

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

Allah. Like yo yo. You wanna get someone's

00:16:49 --> 00:16:49

attention.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

And the word is

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

a word, we talk about this in and

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

in theology.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:02

Something which directs you to something else so

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

we say, a dukhan dalilonar.

00:17:04 --> 00:17:07

Right? That smoke is the evidence of fire.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:09

So

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

here is very profound

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

because the prophet again is using an ambiguous

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

style, aduluk, which means I'm the deli, I'm

00:17:17 --> 00:17:19

the del, I'm the one that can guide

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

you,

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

to the Madlul,

00:17:22 --> 00:17:23

to what needs to be guided.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

And in this word aduluk, let me try

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

to make it clear, it's like ambiguity.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in this

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

one word is saying, there's something that you

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

don't know that I can direct you to.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

So as though he's positing himself as the

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

prophet

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

as the teacher,

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

as the guide to something which he hasn't

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

said yet. In Arabic, this is called tashmirqasameh

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

in rhetoric.

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

The art of saying something

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

that creates dissonance

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

so that the person is like,

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

they want the answer from you. That's why

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

it's called tashwiqasameh.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

Tashwiq, like long longing and hoping for the

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

answer. This happens a lot in the Quran.

00:18:00 --> 00:18:01

Al qariyaamal qariyaawamaadurakmal

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

qariya. Al qariya, what is qariya? How will

00:18:05 --> 00:18:06

you ever know what qariya is? It doesn't

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

ever say it. And then finally, yawmayyakoonu

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

nasookalfarashimabathooth.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

Then it says, this day in which people

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

are gonna be spread like moths.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

So here the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

we see the art of a teacher. Those

00:18:17 --> 00:18:18

of you who are Islamic studies teachers, if

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

you're not passionate, don't be an Islamic studies

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

teacher. If you're just going to sit there

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

and read from a book, you know when

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

you sit and just read from a book

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

like this and and you're not animated, you're

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

not doing things with your students and trying

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

to get them motivated, you can actually do

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

a greater disservice.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

So make sure you're motivated about what you

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

want to teach. Parents, the same thing. Imams,

00:18:35 --> 00:18:38

the same thing. You gotta be hype. Prophet

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

says, Allah aduluk.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

Hey hey, shall I not guide you? Adakans

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

to a treasure.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

Here we see the prophet salallahu alayhi wa

00:18:45 --> 00:18:48

sallam using something from dunya which people like.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:50

Maybe somebody would get upset and be like,

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

oh, like how could you mention that? So

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

use sometimes when people give speeches, I give

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

speeches, I use things in popular culture. Some

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

people get angry. No, no. This this is

00:18:58 --> 00:19:00

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's method of

00:19:00 --> 00:19:02

teaching. He mentions Ken's a treasure, who doesn't

00:19:02 --> 00:19:02

want a treasure?

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

So even though Abu Musa al Ashari is

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

from the Salihain, some narrations say from the

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

10 promised paradise,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

still the prophet knows

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

the importance of a value prop. So Allah

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

aduluk arakenzimin

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

kunuzal Jannah.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19

Shalala direct you to a treasure, then he

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

balances it to the hereafter from the treasures

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

of paradise.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

And Abu Musa al Ashari

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

radiAllahu anhu,

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

quote bala You RasulAllah.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:30

Bala You RasulAllah.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

Indeed oh messenger of Allah.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:33

For sure,

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

oh messenger of Allah. The prophet said,

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

qalalaqul

00:19:38 --> 00:19:42

lahawla walaqawata illa billah. Say lahawla walaqawata

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

illa billah. Masha'Allah, incredible,

00:19:45 --> 00:19:49

incredible, incredible hadith that illustrates the infinite

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

ways of prophetic instruction

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

that we should think about, especially those of

00:19:54 --> 00:19:58

us who are passionate about religious education. Masha'Allah,

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

we have now finished.

00:19:59 --> 00:20:02

The portion of the text that goes over

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

the virtues of dhikr, and next time insha'Allah

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

we're going to start to talk about those

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

things we should say at the ends the

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

beginning and the ends of the day, what

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

are called taraf and nahar.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

Taraf and nahar

00:20:14 --> 00:20:14

meaning morning

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

and afternoon, evening.
