Waleed Basyouni – Torch Bearers Series – Sulayman ibn Mahran al Asadi al A’amash

			salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. So the man had been an Amish. So great scholars of
Hadith. He was among the tambien Rahim Allah Tada.
		

			You know,
		

			fame is based on what you gain in life. But greatness is based on what you give in life. And that's
exactly what an Amish rahimullah was. He was very poor. He didn't get much he didn't have wealth. He
didn't have power positions, the government or anything like that. But he have contributed so much
knowledge. It's unbelievable. I can tell you and I tell this to my students. When I teach
torchbearers and we talk about the Amish, I tell them just randomly pick any book of Hadith. And
flip the pages, I guarantee you, you're not going to go through five, six pages, unless you find a
hadith reported and narrated by amateur Rahim Allah. To the extent that some scholar said, happy to
		

			have you the sanada Ahmed Mohammed said, six people have saved the sin of the prophets of Salaam for
the Ummah, Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, one of them at Mashimo, la slimani been Mala. But with all I
said about him, and there is much more to be said. And you will hear when you join us a shala in the
class, there is one thing about the Amish tell him Allah that his personality was completely
different than any other scholar that you study. And that's in itself, one of the major points of
discussion that we discussed together getting the class, you know, in order for you to be a great
Muslim, do you need to change your personality? You know, do we have to have every scholars to be a
		

			carbon copy from each others, they have the same exact way of dealing and yet there are certain
standards, but we have to understand people are different. They have different personalities. For
example, our mesh was not a very social person. He doesn't like to socialize with people much he
doesn't like people to ask him too many questions. You know, one time he was
		

			visited by someone who is he likes to argue and somebody like to act like he knows so much. And he
doesn't know much dilemma. I can't stand people like that. So he came to visit the Amish and he
starts talking and stuff. And I'm just, you know, waiting for the moment that this guy to leave. So
he the guy told him, I hope you're not being bothered by me being here. He said, I'll tell you the
truth. I'm bothered by you when you are in your home. So what do you think? Oh, I feel right now.
		

			Hey, Mama. Yes, it is maybe not the nicest way to say it. But that's how he is. You know, one time
his students told him we hungry, can you feed us and he's very poor. So he's nice enough to bring me
food. So he said we still hungry. He got another ball off, you know, like a soup or something like
that. Then the ad they said we still hungry. Then he brought the mistake of a and he dropped it in
front of them. They said What is this? He said, I give you my foot and I give you my wife's food and
you guys ate it. And the only food left in my house is my goats food. So maybe it won't be
sufficient for you. So he has this way of talking, you know, once he was walking into a place to go,
		

			Hey, man, it's a public place where people take a shower like a spa today. In he found he saw this
guy with no nothing covering his hour. So he closed his eyes and start walking like a blind. So the
guy was, you know, being sarcastic. He said, Oh, I know you're Amish. And you're bleary eyed. He
said, since when you became blind, he said since it dropped your pants. So he's wet. You know,
that's him. But that's his personality. Not every scholar like that. You know, one of the scholars i
think is a Fianna is to say, couldn't get a job or Advil for medicine. It was like a humiliation to
study under him. But you know what, at the end of the day is they learned so much from him or him.
		

			Oh, lo, Donna, not everybody needs to be perfect. And that's one of the major discussion that we
have in the course. You do need to be perfect to be great. But you know what, if you contribute few
sincere if you
		

			maintain and control your personality, even if you don't change it, you still can be a very great
person. And also we know that not everybody, it should be taken as a role model in every actions in
every aspect of their lives, except those who have lost on the love audio audio send them looking
forward to discuss more points about this color and so many others and torchbearers or cinematic
moments.
