Is it possible that a person can get
the reward for shahid
just by being patient?
With regards to it.
I mean,
shuhada, the reward is what?
Is one of the greatest rewards in Jannah.
Right? The prophet mentioned that their, their souls
already alive in Jannah.
So can someone just by being patient get
the reward of a shahid?
Let's see that. In hadith Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala,
hadith number 33
and then the other salihim.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, actually ashardallahu anha.
She asked the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
an. She said I asked the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam about,
pestilence, which is a plague
that rages and raves, you know, in the
community and kills people.
Something similar to what happens, subhanAllah, on COVID,
where it just hits people right and left
and doesn't recognize
adult from young, men from women,
and people die in massive numbers.
And back then, of course, the break of
this these plagues were common.
So here, she said I asked the prophet
about a ta'un.
He said to her it was it used
to be a punishment which Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala send upon whom whomsoever
he was.
He said
after that, anyone who remains in a town
which is
plagued with the pistons,
maintaining patience, expecting the reward from Allah,
and knowing that nothing will befall him other
than what
Allah has,
foreordained for him, he will receive a reward
of a shahid, a martyr. So
let's see what they mean here. So Aisha
she asked the prophet about a town, plague
in general.
So he said it used to be a
punishment for those who were before.
Let's first of all talk about it. So
what does it mean exactly here? Because today
we know through science and advancement of medicine
and so on, obviously, that these plagues have,
of course, a reason for that. The outbreak
happened because of viruses, because of something and
so on. So it's it has its own
cause and and and and reason for it.
So how is that Allah subhanahu,
uses punishment?
Now the ulama they say of course, even
contemporary scholars say look,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he is the one
who's causing this virus to be the cause
for this for this plague.
And he is the one who allows the
spread of this plague,
for for certain reasons purposes.
Back then used to be punishment or at
least Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would allow it
to spread
in certain direction
as punishment for certain people.
Now what does that mean?
Did it stop being punishment?
I mean, we've just seen COVID
and it just was ravaging everywhere.
So does it mean that,
back then how if this is not punishment,
so how did it look like back then
then?
That's why some of the olemmat they say,
all the massive deaths or massive destruction that
happened to people
like and
Samud and the the the one before us,
all that common and massive destruction
ended with 1 prophet.
Who was the last prophet that Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala during this time
allowed the people to go to this similar
destruction? Anyone knows?
Or at least they had to go through
all these trials.
Which prophet?
Musa alaihis salaam.
Musa was the last prophet.
As people they had to deal with what?
With the water turning blood,
with the grasshoppers
and frogs and this and they're like
common.
After Musa, none of this happened anymore.
So therefore, using
any of these,
elements as massive punishment for people, Allah
didn't do that after this.
So how now it is spreading in our
time? Is that concern punishment?
That's what the second part of prophet
because
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala might cause some of
the believers to die in these plagues,
to erase their sins,
elevate them,
protect them from what could ever happen afterwards.
Different reasons. But the prophet says it has
been given as Rahmat al mumineen as a
mercy for the believers.
Does that mean, if a person was even
not so well in terms of their practice
of the deed?
Maybe they maintained the 5 daily prayers
but they had major
sins. They committed things here and there.
Are they gonna be the same thing? Is
that also a mercy for them, Rahmaton for
them? Yeah. Perhaps.
That could be one of their expressions of
their sins.
But to say that and
this person knows that they're gonna be going
through this and they remain patient as they
go through that until they die.
They will receive the reward of a martyr.
Does that include in this wicked person or
this any sinner sinner in this scenario?
Allahu Alem. Because even Shahada in this in
this active level or this context, different levels.
So in matters of dunya,
we don't give them the of
the shahidah of the battlefield.
Like not to wash them or keep them
in their clothes and put them in the
grave and they say, no, we don't do
that to them.
But in terms of the akhira, that's to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Allah as well he will with his will
he will reward them. So why did Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala,
count according to his hadith and other hadith?
Specific disease and illnesses and and and fatal,
yeah, and determinate illnesses as considered also aljur
the one who dies
which means someone drowns or dies under,
collapsing of buildings and so on. All these
are considered
Why is that? Because perhaps,
because of the amount of pain that they
project they go through, the amount of fear
and you can fear and one person goes
through his palace, something like that, would,
would be nothing
to reward them for other than being martyrs.
That's the general meaning
of the Hayibas. As we can see the
prophet
here, he is equating
the absolute patience in the face of atrocities
that you have no control over such as
plague.
This is will be as if you are
getting the reward of a shahid.
This is how valuable patience is jamaah.
So those who always complain, they say, you
know what? I have short tempers. I'm, you
know, always angry. It runs in the family,
I have anger issues.
Where are you from this reward?
Why would you pass on this opportunity
when you can just simply control what you
say, what you do, and hold it in
your heart for the sake of Allah
and get the reward of shaheed
even though you're sitting at
home. So we ask Allah
to protect us from any place
and keep us and our family safe you
Allah. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
to protect our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to bring back our brothers, our doctors who
are detained there and they're actually trapped there
to come back home safely.
We ask Allah
for their easy passage home. And for all
those are there, we ask
to shield them, protect them.
Any
questions, you know?
Yes.
Yeah. So can we say since it used
to be punishment before,
so what we call it today then for
the believers? Could be just
Which means it's test.
It's test not punishment anymore.
It's a test for everybody. To see how
people will react to it.
Yes.
Very good point. So what does it mean
to be patient in this in this context
right now? Being patient by just submitting yourself
to the situation, staying in your in that
town even though you might risk it and
and get infected and die because of it?
And just saying Alhamdulillah while things happen in
your area? Or you're still saying Alhamdulillah,
you've been patient but you're trying to escape
and get out of that land? Would that
also count as what? Well, the sunnah of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said
that,
If you are in a town and the
plague
breaks and spreads,
don't get out of it.
Or in Kundum, if you are out and
you hear about a land that has the
plague, don't go to it.
So basically, those who are in certain town
and you hear the spread of a plague,
don't leave.
And endure that with patience.
But if you hear the plague happening in
a nearby town
and you have a chance to escape farther
away from where you live, go for it.
And that's what Umar did when he was
with with Abu Ubaydah.
When Abu Ubaydah invited him to come over,
so Amal Khattab heard that there's a plague
spreading in the area.
So he told Abu Ubaydah,
you come down here.
So Abu Ubaydah told him,
what? Are you gonna run away from Allah's
qadr?
And if the qadr of of plague is
gonna hit you, it's gonna hit you. So
I'm more brilliant, he answered,
Of course, I'm I'm running away from qadr
of Allah. But
I'm running away from the Qadr of of
illness and sickness
to the Qadr of safety and health. So
therefore, it's okay
if a person hears about a place not
to go to and stay away from it.
Of course. A shahada here,
exercising patience in the face of great atrocities
and
great pain. What level it is? Allahu Alem.
But the prophet mentioned the hadith here. At
dawn, plagues. There's another hadith the prophet mentioned.
If someone dies under destruction
or
means fire or drowning
or
which means actually illness in in the, in
the body which is some they say it's
cancer actually.
So, eventually these diseases or these illnesses or
these situations
will give a person an order of shahid
if they endured that. Allahu ta'ala. With patience,
of course, now. Yes.
So given the reward without without measure, without
his up, does that apply to these people?
Not necessary.
It doesn't necessarily apply to big events that
you have to be patient over. But if
someone,
always
perseveres in patience until it becomes
one of their traits and qualities, that's what
it means. If someone is known to be
patient because they've always been exercising patience, those
are the one who deserve to be called,
sabr and those are the one who deserve
the the the aya that Allah will give
them reward without measure because it became part
of their qualities, Yani.
