Is it possible that a person can get

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

the reward for shahid

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

just by being patient?

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

With regards to it.

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

I mean,

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

shuhada, the reward is what?

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

Is one of the greatest rewards in Jannah.

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

Right? The prophet mentioned that their, their souls

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

already alive in Jannah.

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

So can someone just by being patient get

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

the reward of a shahid?

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

Let's see that. In hadith Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala,

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

hadith number 33

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

and then the other salihim.

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

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, actually ashardallahu anha.

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

She asked the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

an. She said I asked the prophet sallallahu

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

alaihi wasallam about,

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

pestilence, which is a plague

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

that rages and raves, you know, in the

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

community and kills people.

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

Something similar to what happens, subhanAllah, on COVID,

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

where it just hits people right and left

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

and doesn't recognize

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

adult from young, men from women,

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

and people die in massive numbers.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

And back then, of course, the break of

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

this these plagues were common.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

So here, she said I asked the prophet

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

about a ta'un.

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

He said to her it was it used

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

to be a punishment which Allah subhanahu wa

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

ta'ala send upon whom whomsoever

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

he was.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

He said

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

after that, anyone who remains in a town

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

which is

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

plagued with the pistons,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

maintaining patience, expecting the reward from Allah,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

and knowing that nothing will befall him other

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

than what

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

Allah has,

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

foreordained for him, he will receive a reward

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

of a shahid, a martyr. So

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

let's see what they mean here. So Aisha

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

she asked the prophet about a town, plague

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

in general.

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

So he said it used to be a

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

punishment for those who were before.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

Let's first of all talk about it. So

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

what does it mean exactly here? Because today

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

we know through science and advancement of medicine

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

and so on, obviously, that these plagues have,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

of course, a reason for that. The outbreak

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

happened because of viruses, because of something and

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

so on. So it's it has its own

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

cause and and and and reason for it.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

So how is that Allah subhanahu,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

uses punishment?

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

Now the ulama they say of course, even

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

contemporary scholars say look,

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he is the one

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

who's causing this virus to be the cause

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

for this for this plague.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

And he is the one who allows the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

spread of this plague,

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

for for certain reasons purposes.

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

Back then used to be punishment or at

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

least Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would allow it

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

to spread

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

in certain direction

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

as punishment for certain people.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

Now what does that mean?

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

Did it stop being punishment?

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

I mean, we've just seen COVID

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

and it just was ravaging everywhere.

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

So does it mean that,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

back then how if this is not punishment,

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

so how did it look like back then

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

then?

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

That's why some of the olemmat they say,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

all the massive deaths or massive destruction that

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

happened to people

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

like and

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

Samud and the the the one before us,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

all that common and massive destruction

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

ended with 1 prophet.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

Who was the last prophet that Allah Subhanahu

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

wa ta'ala during this time

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

allowed the people to go to this similar

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

destruction? Anyone knows?

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

Or at least they had to go through

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

all these trials.

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

Which prophet?

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

Musa alaihis salaam.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

Musa was the last prophet.

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

As people they had to deal with what?

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

With the water turning blood,

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

with the grasshoppers

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

and frogs and this and they're like

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

common.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

After Musa, none of this happened anymore.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

So therefore, using

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

any of these,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

elements as massive punishment for people, Allah

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

didn't do that after this.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

So how now it is spreading in our

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

time? Is that concern punishment?

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

That's what the second part of prophet

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

because

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

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala might cause some of

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

the believers to die in these plagues,

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

to erase their sins,

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

elevate them,

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

protect them from what could ever happen afterwards.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

Different reasons. But the prophet says it has

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

been given as Rahmat al mumineen as a

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

mercy for the believers.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Does that mean, if a person was even

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

not so well in terms of their practice

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

of the deed?

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

Maybe they maintained the 5 daily prayers

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

but they had major

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

sins. They committed things here and there.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

Are they gonna be the same thing? Is

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

that also a mercy for them, Rahmaton for

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

them? Yeah. Perhaps.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

That could be one of their expressions of

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

their sins.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

But to say that and

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

this person knows that they're gonna be going

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

through this and they remain patient as they

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

go through that until they die.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

They will receive the reward of a martyr.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

Does that include in this wicked person or

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

this any sinner sinner in this scenario?

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

Allahu Alem. Because even Shahada in this in

00:05:40 --> 00:05:43

this active level or this context, different levels.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

So in matters of dunya,

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

we don't give them the of

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

the shahidah of the battlefield.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

Like not to wash them or keep them

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

in their clothes and put them in the

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

grave and they say, no, we don't do

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

that to them.

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

But in terms of the akhira, that's to

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

Allah as well he will with his will

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

he will reward them. So why did Allah

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

subhanahu wa ta'ala,

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

count according to his hadith and other hadith?

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

Specific disease and illnesses and and and fatal,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

yeah, and determinate illnesses as considered also aljur

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

the one who dies

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

which means someone drowns or dies under,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

collapsing of buildings and so on. All these

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

are considered

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

Why is that? Because perhaps,

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

because of the amount of pain that they

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

project they go through, the amount of fear

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

and you can fear and one person goes

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

through his palace, something like that, would,

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

would be nothing

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

to reward them for other than being martyrs.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

That's the general meaning

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

of the Hayibas. As we can see the

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

prophet

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

here, he is equating

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

the absolute patience in the face of atrocities

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

that you have no control over such as

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

plague.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

This is will be as if you are

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

getting the reward of a shahid.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

This is how valuable patience is jamaah.

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

So those who always complain, they say, you

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

know what? I have short tempers. I'm, you

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

know, always angry. It runs in the family,

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

I have anger issues.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

Where are you from this reward?

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

Why would you pass on this opportunity

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

when you can just simply control what you

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

say, what you do, and hold it in

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

your heart for the sake of Allah

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

and get the reward of shaheed

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

even though you're sitting at

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

home. So we ask Allah

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

to protect us from any place

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

and keep us and our family safe you

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

Allah. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

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

to protect our brothers and sisters in Gaza.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

to bring back our brothers, our doctors who

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

are detained there and they're actually trapped there

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

to come back home safely.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

We ask Allah

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

for their easy passage home. And for all

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

those are there, we ask

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

to shield them, protect them.

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

Any

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

questions, you know?

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

Yes.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

Yeah. So can we say since it used

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

to be punishment before,

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

so what we call it today then for

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

the believers? Could be just

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

Which means it's test.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

It's test not punishment anymore.

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

It's a test for everybody. To see how

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

people will react to it.

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

Yes.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

Very good point. So what does it mean

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

to be patient in this in this context

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

right now? Being patient by just submitting yourself

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

to the situation, staying in your in that

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

town even though you might risk it and

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

and get infected and die because of it?

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

And just saying Alhamdulillah while things happen in

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

your area? Or you're still saying Alhamdulillah,

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

you've been patient but you're trying to escape

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

and get out of that land? Would that

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

also count as what? Well, the sunnah of

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said

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

that,

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

If you are in a town and the

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

plague

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

breaks and spreads,

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

don't get out of it.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

Or in Kundum, if you are out and

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

you hear about a land that has the

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

plague, don't go to it.

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

So basically, those who are in certain town

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

and you hear the spread of a plague,

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

don't leave.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

And endure that with patience.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

But if you hear the plague happening in

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

a nearby town

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

and you have a chance to escape farther

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

away from where you live, go for it.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

And that's what Umar did when he was

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

with with Abu Ubaydah.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

When Abu Ubaydah invited him to come over,

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

so Amal Khattab heard that there's a plague

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

spreading in the area.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

So he told Abu Ubaydah,

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

you come down here.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

So Abu Ubaydah told him,

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

what? Are you gonna run away from Allah's

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

qadr?

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

And if the qadr of of plague is

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

gonna hit you, it's gonna hit you. So

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

I'm more brilliant, he answered,

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

Of course, I'm I'm running away from qadr

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

of Allah. But

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

I'm running away from the Qadr of of

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

illness and sickness

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

to the Qadr of safety and health. So

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

therefore, it's okay

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

if a person hears about a place not

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

to go to and stay away from it.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

Of course. A shahada here,

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

exercising patience in the face of great atrocities

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

and

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

great pain. What level it is? Allahu Alem.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

But the prophet mentioned the hadith here. At

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

dawn, plagues. There's another hadith the prophet mentioned.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

If someone dies under destruction

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

or

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

means fire or drowning

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

or

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

which means actually illness in in the, in

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

the body which is some they say it's

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

cancer actually.

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

So, eventually these diseases or these illnesses or

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

these situations

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

will give a person an order of shahid

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

if they endured that. Allahu ta'ala. With patience,

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

of course, now. Yes.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

So given the reward without without measure, without

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

his up, does that apply to these people?

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

Not necessary.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

It doesn't necessarily apply to big events that

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

you have to be patient over. But if

00:11:48 --> 00:11:48

someone,

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

always

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

perseveres in patience until it becomes

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

one of their traits and qualities, that's what

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

it means. If someone is known to be

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

patient because they've always been exercising patience, those

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

are the one who deserve to be called,

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

sabr and those are the one who deserve

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

the the the aya that Allah will give

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

them reward without measure because it became part

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

of their qualities, Yani.
