00:00:00 --> 00:00:20
			Alhamdulillah Romina Salatu was Salam ala Nabina Muhammad Amala you also have your seldom at the
Sleeman Kathira mama bad. Tonight our Hadith from Riyadh Saudi Hain the book of miscellaneous hadith
of significant values, one of those interesting stories of prophets that I mentioned about the
Prophet, the hood and his son Solomon,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:36
			and their judgment in regard to a specific case and anecdote, Hadith number 18 27.1, Abiraterone the
Allahu Anhu semi rasool Allah has sallallahu alayhi wa sallam echoed currently Murata aneema Huma,
Huma
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			Huma
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:11
			for call it a Sahiba Tia in NEMA The Habeeb Nick, we'll call it okra in nama. There have been Nick.
So the story goes on the prophets. RSM says here, there were two women at the time of their own Ali
salaam, two women each had her child with her. A wolf came and took away the child of one of them.
So one woman said to their companion, the wolf has taken your son. The other one said no, it has
taken your son. And it's our argument.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:19
			Sir arguing about that child whose child was that right? Today people that said take him, okay.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:41
			I don't want this child anymore. Understand, but back then she was fighting for it. This is my
child. It won them says my child. And they're arguing over that the child worker for the Hakama Isla
del Sol they want to do that is Salam Forcados behavioral couvre the old Ali salaam gave his
judgment and he has a judgment that the child should be given to the older lady.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			For her Allah Tala Suleiman on the way out so a man was the eldest son his son
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:58
			Bharata. So they told him you know what happened? For quarter two and he was seeking Give me the
knife says, Give me the knife. I will cut them in half so each one will have half.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:13
			So the younger one she said to cut Atlanta for the hamlet of Allah to fall for hammock Allah, may
Allah have mercy on you don't do that. Please give it give it to her. Give that child to her. So he
gave it the child to the younger one.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			How come?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:33
			Because that was a mother's love. She goes, You know what I'd rather him survive with her than I
lose him completely. By current killing him basically. So should give him give him to her. So that
was our ceramah instead, he's yours then? Because the other one kept quiet.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:58
			Why is that? In the kinders was not her child. So let's try to analyze the story right now. So the
prophesies MSN that two women have the child that their children with them? I mean, today would say,
Are you kidding me? How can I recognize your child, and we want to be easy to organize who your
child is? Well, Allahu Allah, at what age these kids were at that time, maybe they were infants,
probably. And sometimes of 100 infants, you can't even tell the difference.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:37
			Especially if they're newborns. So that's one of the situation that probably was confusing for them.
However, the younger one should recognize And subhanAllah mother's instinct, usually sometimes even
you can smell your child's panela like what happened with us valleys, ceremonial COVID. Father,
right. The frankness of a child. So eventually, she said that that's my child. And she she can tell
he was that her child, the older one you probably in her heart that wasn't her child. And that wolf
took took away her child. But obviously, maybe jealousy, maybe desparation, Kelco, whatever you want
to call it, she wanted to have, that child will have for whatever reason, she wanted to have that
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:48
			child because she needed to have a child. Now when they want to, eventually with that argument, they
had to go to the with Ali Salaam and ask for his judgment. So that will that is?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:04:10
			How can I be healed? couvre he gave him to the older one. Let's try to analyze this. Why do you
think that though? That is Salaam? He gave that chart to the older one. Now the Prophet saw some did
not give us any details. He said there would just give the child or actually he is his judgment was
he's yours to the older one. Why? What could that be for?
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:21
			Maybe she had better argument. She was very articulate that she was able to explain her case better
than the younger one. That's one interpretation another one
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			that's another way of saying it say that would say maybe look,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:38
			you're younger, you're still younger, you can have other babies. This one had a chance with us over
so we'll give them to her. What else?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			She might have cried more than the younger one. I doubt that.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			So he knew the older one didn't know the younger one. Now there's another reason for that.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:00
			The older one might need help, you know sooner than the younger ones. So therefore we'll give her
help with that child. Oh
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			All these are valid reasons in terms of the amount mentioned them as possibilities. But the number
one reason for them to say that actually he rolled it for her because she was carrying the child.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			She had the child in her hand.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:20
			So if she had the child in her hand, who's responsible to provide an evidence that No, it's mine?
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			The other one,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:06:03
			and the other one seems that you could not provide any evidence to say that it's my job today, it's
easy. You go to do DNA analysis now. That's it, we're done. But back then there was no such thing.
So what are you gonna do, you're gonna just grab the baby look in the face, look, another face tried
to compare them his years. That was a forensic evidence back then. Subhanallah this handy? So the
contemporary scholars, they say that this is a proven evidence that it's okay to use forensics, as
evidences in court. Because if you read the classical works of folk, they don't really appreciate
much of this forensics at that time back then, like, for example, fingerprints, and all that stuff,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:10
			and so on, they wouldn't be considered in it as part of the evidences. But this is another evidence
that, you know, you can use for instance,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:41
			and you can, you can look at things and see how it works. Also from the store of jacobellis Ram, you
know, the story when when they ripped his shirt, so there was ripped from behind the front the
front, also forensic evidences that were proven to be used in the in court. So here, he told that he
said that since it's in your hand, probably, then Okay. Can you have it for the younger one? Do you
have a proof that it is your child, because she obviously she's holding the child right now. So she
looks like she's the mother. Once you prove that he's your child. She couldn't provide any proof.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			And as a result is okay. That is yours, because it's already in your hand.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50
			On the way out, they met with Mrs. Sarah. Now, wait a minute here.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			If the judge gives us a decree, we shouldn't be final.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:01
			How come then on the way out, they met Suleiman says, Look, your father said so and so what do you
say about this?
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:39
			And he says, Okay, fine. Give me a knife. Let me let me finish it and give each one of you half of
this child. So how come Sorry, man, after hearing that his father made his judgment, He now makes
another judgment over his and law, it's not actually acceptable, unless, of course you appeal. And
then with the appeal, you have to go through the process and all the stuff and so and eventually,
probably, you might go to the Second Court circuit, and third and until it goes to the highest
level. So how come this is the case was that it was okay for him to do that? So LMI they get a
different reputation. Some they say and their law back then it was okay. It wasn't you can't you can
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:50
			easily do that. Negate adjustments from a previous court, for example, some Allama. They say no,
it's not wasn't the case. We get that who did not give a ruling. He gave a fatwa
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:36
			and an effort to ah, you can give another fatwa to negate the other move this opinion? That's okay.
It's a matter of opinion. But the most most actually, accurate opinion is that the old Alex CERAM
gave his judgment based on HD hat. It was not based on nos, which means it wasn't a ruling came from
Gibreel. Telling the word Look, that's hers. If it was NUS, and textual evidence of proof, you have
absolutely no right to negate the judgment that was based on an evidence from the Quran and the
Sunnah of the Prophet said Allah says, but since it was a jihad, which means a human reasoning, and
human understanding, it's okay, you can negate that if you have a better st had that will make more
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:42
			sense than the previous one. And that's obviously it's acceptable also, among the older man and a
scholar so that
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:57
			he gave his best judgment based on his on his evidences, he saw that she was holding the baby. The
other one could not provide any evidence or proof, he says, Your case is yours. What can I say? But
then the Manolis rom here, a nice beautiful trick.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:37
			And he just kind of like try to, you know, when you when you get when you start talking to the
witnesses, and, and the criminals and so forth, you talk to them in a way to produce testimony to
produce sometimes confession from them. And that's what he did. He just provoked the two parties to
see who is going to show more compassion, more motherly instinct that will qualify to be the mother.
And obviously, the younger one was the one who proved to be the mother, because she said, You know
what? Keeping her hand is fine. I'm fine with that leaving, she can keep him because of kinesio
taping, because the older ones just kept quiet. Because if my my son was gone, I'm okay with another
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:37
			one to go away.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:59
			Is not mine. Right. And that was the fitna of Solomon Arisa and that's what Allah subhanaw taala
dimensioned about the Odin Solomon both of them in the Quran again, for ham nasally man, we give
better understanding to Solomon Alice parlato. That is CERAM was strong in in his in his physical
power and might. He killed the tyrant
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:18
			and that sort of a man's paella give him a sound judgment and a better judgment understanding of
these matters well loved and so just basically kind of an anecdote the professor's I'm sure was
about how the Anima how them be themselves. They also have different level of fitna of understanding
of things Wallah any questions
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:29
			in a society there is a ruling by a bigger share, and then a low level share on King as
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			somebody who's at a lower level
		
00:10:36 --> 00:11:19
			than other earlier decision, what happens to the rule of law? So the question is about if we have
two layers of lawmakers, a higher authority and a lower authority, higher mufti, Lord Mufti. If the
higher Mufti gives a fatwa, and then the lower Mufti do they have a right to negate that fatwa given
their de facto on the matter? It depends. If the higher authority is an authority, meaning they have
the absolute authority in the state, to give these fatwas, as long as they are given the fact that
within the the framework of the Sharia, they will respect the decision becomes a state law. That's
it. No one has the right to negate that state law. Do they have the right to voice their opinion?
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:33
			Yeah, we can never suppress the difference of opinion mandorla the animal will always have
differences of opinion because it's a matter of human understanding and human capacity. But once an
opinion was adopted as a state law, everybody has to obey
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38
			even if it's not my opinion, I have to obey that wala na.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			And Islamic Society obviously this is the case and now
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:46
			yes.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:59
			So if you're talking about between David and Solomon or between previous prophets
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:44
			look, in terms of the Gambia they were invaluable in matters of the delivery of the Sharia the
delivery of the help of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and fell, but they didn't make mistakes. But in terms
of their dealing with people, it's not that they weren't making mistakes. Allah subhana wa Dhana
allows them to make he had that sometimes it's wrong, in the sense wrong, who said basically
colorful, I would almost say like, there is something better than that, for us to learn that they're
humans. And number two that Allah wants to wish they had and the possibilities of human reasoning.
And the human reasoning could be could be correct could be incorrect. Like even the Prophet
		
00:12:44 --> 00:13:18
			sallallahu wasallam. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam for instance, he made certain choices like when
they went to better and he made his choice about the location where he's going to take his camp in
the battlefield. However, when that came to the Prophet Salla, salam, ala Rasulillah min, zero and
zero Kahala, I'm here hardboard Makita? Is that a location that have been chosen, chosen by divine
intervention from Allah? Or is that that's the strategy of war? The Prophet says, No, I think it's a
surge of war like this is a good location. He said, Okay, there's a que sera, sera, Allah, I have a
better location for you. And I gave the suggestion and the Prophet SAW Salem, he forfeited his
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:32
			position and took the other position because it made sense. It actually was better decision. That's
one example. But then there's another action in terms of Shara like practicing something from the
deed. When the Prophet Salah Salem, he chose to
		
00:13:33 --> 00:14:14
			consult with over Casa de anima, kappa in regards to what we do with the prisoners of war and
better. And Omar says finish them. And our Casa de toda la Solara him, they're still relatives so we
can learn from them. And the Prophet says I'm lean towards overcrossing gives opinion but Allah
Subhana Allah in the Quran revealed that it's not you shouldn't be doing that hazard you haven't
already given your judgment and you give them your word for it, you should not have done that you
should have finished them. So again, he was corrected and divine intervention. So that we learn that
he had is allowable and can be wrong and can be right. But the Prophet SAW said he had no matter
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:26
			what was always sanctioned by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada which means even with a prophet sasm said
something that is supposed to be something else Allah would have already corrected in terms of Allah
Allah wa salam O Allah Now
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:41
			what those two when it says we'll talk about that qualified Mr. Dean, can we give him a microphone
to the sisters the questions of whether the
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			Texan semi
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:47
			Okay,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:15:00
			so the question is, the SDR is not for the layman. When we talk about this Jihad here we talk about
people of authority, so a man and who are a master and their profit, they were Ambia and they have
the authority to make some
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:14
			jihad in our time, who are those who are qualified to make us jihad? Obviously when it comes to the
matters of the OMA, that's for the highly qualified dilemma and scholars, but for us individuals,
the average person is to have between different opinions
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			the lesson from this is to ha
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			from this hadith what did I learn from this hadith for you?
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			What lessons they learned from this hadith
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:42
			you always have to make a lot of reason and you have to use your human intellect to discuss to make
judgment in this matter what else
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:54
			difference of opinions okay, that could happen even among the most knowledgeable people. What else?
Well Falcone the element Eileen, above every knowledgeable person, there's someone who is
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:07
			more knowledgeable. So never ever think that you are the most knowledgeable or your teacher is the
most knowledgeable. Always allow yourself to explore and try to understand what the other opinion
means or where it's coming from. Walla Walla? Yes.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:16
			So I was wondering if changing someone's opinion or not going from one person's issue head to
another.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:50
			It's almost like photoshopping so how come this isn't considered that? That depends on the depends
on the intention. If the person is just trying to look for the easiest opinion or the exit out of
things, so he keeps shopping every time every time a new imam or new chef come to the masjid they
ask the same question. He or she does okay to eat the halal the meat from work, for example, from
Walmart? Or can I eat Chick fil A for example? Every time a chef comes after us this question until
we get that share hotels you Bismillah Alhamdulillah
		
00:16:53 --> 00:17:24
			Dani all these 20 Imams who said no, just you got the one who said yes, hello, that's photoshopping.
But if someone is going with a different opinion based on to the best of their judgment in regards
to the solid, the opinion, the evidence is the proofs. Not because I feel comfortable with this, or
I like to smile, for example. Now that's another reason why we follow different opinions. That Well,
you might say, but look, I don't even have the ability to judge these things. I'm very, very basic.
If that's the case, then stick to an opinion with one scholar and that's it move on.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:18:02
			But if you have a level of knowledge, what qualifies you to understand why this really might say
what they say? What's the basic of also that they have? And why this opinion for example, the
evidence is solid for example, it's okay to follow from one open to the other one development in the
past. That's what they did before. Before the establishment of the four muda four schools of thought
it was fluid, scholars have liberty of studying with different aroma different scholars they never
ascribe to one particular school of thought are always actually fluid. It wasn't until later on when
things solidified and these schools became kind of like standards that whenever they start saying
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:09
			look is too hard is right now closed. Just follow one opinion and you should define Allah I hope
it's clear inshallah.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:19
			You go to a conference, your Hanafi you don't combine between the Salawat but then they call the
rasa. Do you join them or not?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			Where are the 100? who's
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			like, I became Chevier on this one, right?
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:34
			Follow the jemar. Just follow the Gemma. That's a fifth opinion. It's not a matter of Islam or coco.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:40
			You follow the Gemma and that's better for you than following any Filipina Wallah. Now
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			as part of Colombia 100
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:44
			Ramadan
