Yaser Birjas – Respecting The Word Of Allah

Ready?

How was the world of the day, Jema?

It was less than a 100. Masha'Allah. That's

awesome.

So may Allah

bless the community of families.

Today, we have a very special hadith, subhanallah,

one of those beautiful, stories that came after

the time of the prophet

from one of the wonderful sahaba

in regards to the respect of the word

of Allah

Like how the Sahaba

they really they really put everything

everything in this dunya behind their back if

they were reminded with the word of Allah

Like, how many of us can truly say

if someone recites an ayah for me, remind

me of the hadith, I will just stop

right there.

How many of us their ego comes in

between them

and that response, and the shaitan gets also

in between and just ruins everything for them?

Let's see the story of. Hadith number 50,

and the other salih in the book of

Sabr, the book on the chapter on patience.

Ibn Abbas reported

that Uyayna ibn Hasan came to Al Madina

and stayed with his nephew, Alhur ibn Qais.

Now just give perspective here. So Uyayna ibn

Hasan

was one of 3 leaders or elders the

prophet

gave special status

because they were leaders in their community. Ham

and Aqaba ibn Haibis and, Abbasid al Mirdas.

These people,

they were, 3 leaders in the community, and

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he recognized

their status. So, Hayyan ibn Hasan was one

of them. And he also participated later on

in some expedition the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam sent them off with, like being the

leader, radiAllahu alaihi wasallam.

So

later after the time of the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wasallam,

he came to visit Madinah.

And again visiting Madinah, he stayed with his

nephew, Alhur ibn Qais.

Ibn Qais. Ibn Abba said al Hurr ibn

Qais, the nephew, who was a young man.

He was among the few people that Omar

he showed favor to.

I don't know if you know that. Umrah,

he he needed to have a council around

him. When he became the Khalifa, he put

a condition in the sahaba

because you put me in this position, you

stay around me.

I need you to help me out. I

need your counsel.

And among his counselors,

he also chose people of specific status,

regardless of their age.

So one of them was Ibn Abbas

and another was Alhur ibn Qais, who was

young.

Why? Ibn Abbas explains.

Because the people of the Quran or the

people of Quran or the recital of the

Quran,

back then, Quran was a reference to those

who rest recital the Quran, read the Quran,

memorized the Quran, and as a result, understood

and became more of like the,

the main source of knowledge for the community

of that time. Because these people

were the the,

the the people he surround himself with. Like,

he need people who really fear Allah,

people who have the Quran with them to

remind them and remind others as well too.

So he was one of those young people

like Abbas

He says, they used to be the people

who've been favored regardless whether they're old or

young. He kept them around.

Then who arrived in Madinah,

he talked to his nephew,

He says, Madin nephew.

He goes, look. Seems that the the

the leader of the believers, he shows favor

to you.

Shows favor to you.

Can you please obtain permission for me to

sit with him? I wanna talk to

him. I wanna talk to him. Now,

that's his uncle. He's an elder.

Respected figure in the community as well too.

He didn't see any problem with that so

he went and he used that favor to

speak with

So he sought permission for his uncle

and

out of respect to Al Hur,

even though he was a young man.

He was one of the council members,

and because of his religious status, being or

of the Quran, a knowledgeable person, he said,

sure. Absolutely.

Like he showed favor to the people of

the Quran So

he gave him the permission to come in.

Now before

we hear what al al al

Uryayna told Umar radhiallahu an, I wanna give

you a perspective first.

So at the time of the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wasallam, when people became Muslims like Iranian

ibn Hasan,

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam favored them

with a lot of gifts.

Not because they deserved it.

It's because

because they're leaders. And if you give them

this much, probably they will see some value

in, you know, staying Muslims

and encourage the others to come into Islam

from their from their tribe. So the prophet,

he was giving him something.

Now when

he became the khalifa.

He had a different opinion in terms of

the apha,

like to give the people.

He he had a different opinion. His opinion,

you need to be they think of them

all equally

regardless

whether they're Muhajid or Ansa,

early Muslims, or just embrace Islam because their

allowance, all of them should be equal.

That was.

And he kept to people like Al Said

and Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda, and Al Qaeda,

their. Like, what the prophet assigned them, he

kept giving it to them.

When he became the Khalifa, he said that's

not fair.

Because I'm not gonna make them equal. Those

who fought all the time with the prophet

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and those who once

fought against the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

So what did he do? He separated them

based on their age, status, and

if they became Muslims early versus late. So

he differentiate the the

gift for them. And those who used to

receive this abundance of of gifts because of

their being leaders at the time when they

became Muslims, he said, that's enough now.

You're gonna take your

and your allowance like everybody else.

So some of them complained. One of them

was.

Like, hey, why are you changing my my

allowance? I mean, they probably gave me this.

His answer, Omar, before that, his answer was,

he says, back then, we needed you.

Now we don't need you anymore,

and if you wanna leave Islam, we're gonna

we're gonna go after you anyway.

So he said, take it or leave it,

basically.

So Al Qaeda bin Hassan comes to Alhur

right now, and he asked his nephew, I

wanna talk to the Khalifa.

So he comes in. For callah now here's

what Uyghina told Ummab Khattab

in his face.

Like

look at you now. Right? That's what he's

saying.

What he says to Umar,

he says,

you neither bestow much on us nor deal

with us justly. Like, you're not generous

and you're not even fair.

Tell him who is Jema?

Umrah.

The one who when we talk about justice

in the history of Islam and Umrah,

he is the example of justice.

So someone

like comes and says you're not fair, and

you're so cheap, basically.

Allah. That's what he's telling him. You're not

giving us, generously.

Omar was so furious.

He was so angry. Like, I made a

disfavor for you

because of your nephew.

And this is what you're gonna tell me

in my face?

Like, he was about basically to come after

he was about to beat him, basically. You

know, Umar doesn't he

doesn't joke.

If it's serious, that's it.

So

the young man telling

Please. Oh, leader of the believers. Please.

The prophet Allah said to his prophet Muhammad,

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

Allah told the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

show forgiveness.

Enjoy what is good and turn away from

the foolish,

from the ignorant ones.

He said, I swear,

this man is an ignorant man. This is

a foolish man. Speaking about who is Jamal?

His uncle. Sorry,

Jamal. Because, please, I mean, this is foolish,

what he said. Like, don't take it don't

please.

For When Umar Khattab

He said the moment Umar heard the ayah,

he stopped.

Immediately,

he stopped.

Said Omar became so quiet and motionless

the moment he heard the eye of the

Quran.

Like, he really takes the Quran seriously.

It really affects because he lives by the

words of Allah

Allah That is the man.

That's the man.

When he was when when they conquered Iraq,

he made sure that they they paved the

roads over there.

And when he was asked, why are you

spending so much of the wealth, on this?

He says, I'm worried on the day of

judgment Allah

will ask me if a mule trips on

the roads of Iraq, why, yeah, Omar, why

didn't you pave the road for it?

This is how much he was concerned for

this.

So when he was with the ayah, he

just stopped right at right there. Ibn Abbas,

he says,

and he always adhered strictly to the book

of Allah

How many of us can truly claim

that their life is literally in accordance to

the commands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?

Guilty as charged.

All of us.

We don't get to that level, subhanahu, of

someone like Umar Radiallahu,

but it's an example we hope we aspire

to get to.

Nowadays, when someone is angry and you remind

them with an ayah or a hadith or

something, they immediately reject that problem.

Or

if someone is told,

what do they tell you? You first.

Right?

Like as if you're cursing in the Muslim's

time.

So here, an example of someone,

he removed his like literally,

in an instant, his anger

has just disappeared

because he was able now to restrain himself

and control that ego. And we mentioned before,

if you remember, that anger in itself is

not a problem. Really, it's a it's an

instinct. It's a natural thing. But acting angrily

is a problem. So when Amal was about

to act angrily,

that's because his ego kicked in.

His ego just like how dare you say

this to me, basically.

And who used that ego?

Subhanahu alayhi wa'en used the ego upon us.

But here when he when he was reminded

with the ayah, he immediately responded by, immediately

stopping

as if he's saying,

we listen and we obey. So my dear

brothers and sisters,

perhaps, maybe, maybe in order for us to

understand the meaning of these verses,

we need to repeat them over and over

again in our lives so that we remind

ourselves why do we be patient? Why do

we have to overlook the mistakes of other

people and the ignorant ones and the arrogant

ones and many, many of other people around

us, You're gonna be responding to everybody.

Becomes a disaster. Your life you're not gonna

find peace at all in your life.

And they say in the Arabic language, they

say,

it's a it's a line of poetry that

says

Like if every dog barks at you, you're

gonna throw a rock at it.

One day, you're gonna have to pay money

just to get you're gonna have to pay

gold to get a rock,

which means there are a lot of people

annoying around you. And if you're gonna be

stopping for every annoyance like this,

your life is gonna be completely without peace.

So make sure to remind yourself, inshallah,

these verses in ayaat and a hadith of

Rasulullah

So every time you feel that you're getting

angry, remember remember Umar and how he stopped

when he was reminded with the ayah. Remember

Rasulullah

And remember even those young people,

they were privileged to be selected by someone

like Umar to be his council member

because of the status of the Quran into

their lives. May Allah

make us among those who listen to the

speech and follow the best of.

We ask Allah subhanahu to fill our heart,

the love for the Quran,

and that we listen to the Quran, and

we obey the commands of the Quran, and

that we live our life in accordance to

the words of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Any questions,

Ajamal?

Yes, sir. So what happens to him after

What happened to Aina after that? I don't

know. I wasn't there.

But I'm sure he just had to leave,

Yani. I'm sure he had to leave. Otherwise,

if he stayed there, something else could have

happened,
