00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			We're still reading from the book of Asaba,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			the book of, the chapter on on patience
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			from read us salihin,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			hadith number 49.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			This hadith is more like a bringing peace
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			for the believers,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			especially as we go through this dunya. We
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			go through many trials.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			Trials come from all over the place and
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			come in different shapes.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Sometimes financial, sometimes family issues, all that kind
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			of stuff and so on. What could bring
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			peace to the believer
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			as he or she going through these trials?
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			Let's see what the prophet
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			says in this
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			In this hadith, the messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			alaihi wa sallam says, a Muslim, male or
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			female, man or woman,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			continues to remain under trial in respect of
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			his life,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			property,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			and offspring
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			until he faces Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, they
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			exalted with no sin record,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			like all their sins being wiped out.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Haydruha Tirmali. So what does it mean
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			here?
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			So
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:28
			the prophet
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			said that the believer,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			male or female, they'll be subject to trials.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			Is that a secret Ajima, or that's something
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			known to everybody?
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Known to everybody.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			So the the trial not only befall the
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			the the man, also the woman as well
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			too,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			which means
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			for us,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			men and women, we need to keep that
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			in mind. We're now both of us are
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			struggle for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			Ta'ala, and we're in competition for their work
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			from Allah
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			So not just the man who's going through
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			difficulties,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			also many go through difficulties.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			What kind of difficulty he
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			said Like, first of all,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			means personal.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			What kind of personal, you could say, a
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			trial a person can go through Jema? Like
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			what?
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			Health issues,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			getting sick, for example,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:20
			injury,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			stuff like that. On a personal level,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			stress,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			You're going through all those and anxiety. These
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			kind of things. So all these are considered
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			part of trials.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			So this is something on a personal level.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			Children, like what?
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			Loss of children, for example.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Absence of children, not having kids at
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			all. Or if you have kids, they
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			wanna be beautiful to you as much as
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			you would love them to be. Right? So
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			the difficulty comes from that side. So there
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			are many things people can see trials through
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			their children.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			And also through their wealth and property.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			What does that even mean now?
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			The loss of properties,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			losing their jobs,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			money value goes down,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			losing business, whatever that is, something of that
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			nature,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			or losing their car or their house, whatever.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			So the trials are coming all different shapes,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			on a personal level,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			social level, and also financial level.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			And again, that's not a secret because Allah
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			subhanahu says in the Quran,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			He said we shall try you. Allah says,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			very, very clear. You are going to be
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			tried and tested in many things.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			With some fear, Some,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			diminishing of health and wealth and properties
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			and many things. And he say
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			give the good news for those who persevere
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			in patients. So the prophet says over here
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			that the bala the trial will be go
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			the believer will be going through all the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			trials
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			until
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			and no records of sins on your books.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			Like, they'll be like, if they said, like,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			wipe out the sins completely.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			A question right now.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			Do you have to accept these trials to
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			get the reward for effacing these sins?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			Or just by by default.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			Any trial you go through, you're gonna have
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			to you're gonna basically kinda, like, get some
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			of your sins being eliminated. What do you
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:24
			guys think?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			Like, if you don't show patients, like, so
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			you're going through trial.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			Someone lost
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			their job.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			They start yelling and cussing and cursing, and
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			they say, why me, and so and so.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Are they gonna still have their reward for,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			for that trial they're going through?
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			They lost
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			it. Because the prophet said,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			you have to be patient to get that.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			You have to be patient to get that.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			Being patient doesn't mean you cannot complain.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			Like, you can say, oh, this hurt me.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			This hurts.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Oh, Allah, I'm so scared. You Allah, help
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			me out with this. It's okay.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			But you don't complain about Allah for
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			the trial you're going through. Because once you
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			start complaining about Allah
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			you lost your chance, you lost your opportunities
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			for
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			that. Making sure that those trials don't go
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			wasted.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			And, again, we are gonna all be going
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			through trials. May Allah protect
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			us. Now is it smart thing for someone
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			to say, oh, Allah, if that's gonna, erase
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			my sins, I should ask for more.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			Would that be smart to say, Ajima?
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			Absolutely not. Because even the prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			wa sallam himself, when he used to make
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			dua, he used to make dua for what?
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			He always asked
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			Allah for safety and protection in his body,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			in his sight, in his hearing, in his
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			dunya and in the akhirah. So even the
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he would say,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			protect me from any trials.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			So never ever wish for a trial because,
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			say, I messed up so many things. I
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			need to make dua. I need to make
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			dua for more trials. Don't ever ask the
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			Allah for this. But if Allah, subhanahu wa
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			ta'ala, wills and he will
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			choose to test you, Be prepared and be
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			patient, and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			you all.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			Any
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			question?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			Yes.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			So some of the questions, someone lost their
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			job as a trial. Right? They started complaining
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			and whining about it and so on. And
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			then later after a few days, they came
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			back to their senses, and they start kind
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			of becoming more remorseful.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			Do they still get the reward to officiate
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			their sins? I hope so. However, remember,
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			the full reward is at the beginning.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			And as people start complaining and whining, they
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			lose in some of that reward until whatever
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			is left for them when they come come
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			to their senses, whatever is left, that's what
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			you get. So if you wanna get the
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			maximum reward, be patient at the at the
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			first strike.
