			And he used to say, Oh Allah, did
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			you not promise me that you would not
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			punish them وَأَدَ فِيهِمْ and I am amongst
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			them.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			Oh Allah, did you not promise me that
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			you would not punish them وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ and
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			they're seeking forgiveness.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			And this is why one of our early
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			Muslims, our predecessor said, we had two guarantees
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			against the punishment of Allah.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			One of them was the physical presence of
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			the Prophet ﷺ amongst us.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			And the other is saying, أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهِ The
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			other is distant thought.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			And we have lost that one outwardly, the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			first one.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			Not to say that the Prophet ﷺ is
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			not amongst us in a figurative or in
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			a broader meaning, but physically the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			So he said, what?
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			So you better do a lot of this
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			to follow.
