00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			We're still reading from hadith from the book
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			of, as as Surq, the chapter on truthfulness.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			He highlights hadith number 4 in this, series
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			and hadith number 57 in the book. And.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			So,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			So Salib Hanif
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			was from, who attended the Battle of Badri
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			he highlights that. Why? Because the people of
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			Badri were very special.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Very, very, very special. And the prophet
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			he,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			always when he, have a specific, let's say,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			occasions,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			and he highlights people's status, the people of
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			Badr has a very unique and special status.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			And even to the extent that
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			whenever someone does something wrong,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			he or defend that person by saying, didn't
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			he witness the battle of Badr? Wasn't he
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			on Badr?
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Said, yeah. He was. It's okay. Just leave
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			him.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			As if being there at the Battle of
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			Badr was something, subhanAllah, of again a very
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			unique status. So he highlights here that, Salib
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			al Hanifa,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			was Badri, attending the Battle of Badr.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			In this hadith, he said the messenger of
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wasalam saying,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			if with truth
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			and sincerity,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			anyone ask Allah
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			for martyrdom,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			Allah will raise him to the high status
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			of the martyrs
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			even if he dies on his bed.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			I repeat.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			The prophet says,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			If with truth and sincerity, anyone ask Allah
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			for martyrdom,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Allah will raise him to the highest status
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			of the martyrs even if he dies on
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			his bed.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			Why is that status so important, Jemaah? It's
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			one of the highest
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			status anyone
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			can reach in Islam. Then the prophet speak
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			about like
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			the highest and the pinnacle
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			of, of Islam is sacrifice yourself for the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			sake of Allah
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			defending the faith and defending, you know, the
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			the,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			the the weak and and, and vulnerable against
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			the enemy.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			All these, of course,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			very special moments when someone spouts their blood
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			for the sake of Allah
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			to raise their
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			It's a great thing.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			And the Allah
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			said that everybody, when they die and they
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			go to their grave,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			there will be a question. There are very
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			famous questions.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			Who's your lord? What's your deen? Who's the
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			man that you followed?
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			Except for. They were spared that moment. Why?
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			Because they're fighting for the sake of Allah
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			and spreading their blood for the sake of
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			Allah, enough testimony for the truthfulness.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			They don't have to be tested after that.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			I mean, enough tests to fight, be in
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			the battlefield.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			So and that's
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			why, they're in Jannah. They have the
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			highest the highest level among the highest level
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			of rewards in Jannah. As a professor mentioned,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			they're are.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			Will be flying with these beautiful green birds,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			you know, in Jannah, when everybody's,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			is in a in a very special chamber
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			with their bodies until the day of resurrection,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			the and the soul of the of the
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			shuhada will be in Jannah. So there's so
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			many things in terms of the reward
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			for,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			the martyrs or Shuhada.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			But here the prophet
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			is telling
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:52
			us,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			there are people
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			who take the effort and make the planning
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			and and and the or the circumstances,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			put them in a position where they have
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			to defend their faith and themselves until they
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			die. And they get the reward for that
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			by the
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			virtue, of course, of fighting for themselves and
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			fighting for the vulnerable and the weak and
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			so on until they die. And there are
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			other people who take that same reward and
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			same status
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			if they die in bed.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			How so?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			He said,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			if someone sincerely
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			sincerely ask Allah
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			If someone
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			from the bottom of their heart genuinely
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			asking Allah to
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			make them one of the shuhada,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			like can you imagine
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			that level of sincerity and level of
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			focus and attention on that
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			when you keep asking, You Rabbi You Allah.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			Like this person is eager
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			is eager to be in that position.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			Even if they die on their bed, if
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Allah
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			knew how truthful they were with their intentions,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			Allah
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			will grant them the status of
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			even if they die on their bed.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			Like, wow.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			Like, some people, they had to go through
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			the whole,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14
			process
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			and the effort and the sacrifice just to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			get that level.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			And others with sincerity in their hearts because
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			they've never had the chance of maybe the
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			opportunity or the circumstances.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			But in their heart, they were so sincere
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			that they would love to be in that
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			position, And the Allah
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			will give them that that that reward for
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			it. This seems the same thing was mentioned
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			many hadith from the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			sallam. Like when the prophet mentioned about someone
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			who's,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			poor,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			but this person gets the reward of giving
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			charity even though he had no money.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			Like this person, he wishes if I had
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			money,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			I would give.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			He didn't have he didn't have much.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			But his sincerity
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			in making that dua,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			if Allah give him money, he will give
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			so much and so and so. Allah
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			knew their truthfulness in their hearts, and he
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			reward them as if they have done it.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			He would reward them just like the other
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			person who gives his money out in charity.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			And that's another example over here. You make
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			that duas and sit in the heart from
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			your heart, and Allah will put you in
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			that position
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			even if that person dies on their bed.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			Now why is saying die on their bed?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			Because dying on their bed is what is
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:25
			your mind.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			Is that an honorable death?
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			And may Allah
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			give us all honorable death
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			But dying on your bed is,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			and it's natural death probably perhaps. Right?
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			And I don't know how much honor there
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			in that.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			Khairim Walid
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			Sayfullah al Maslul, the unsheed sword of Allah
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			He was on the back of his horse
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			and camel for months years fighting for the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			sake of Allah from battle to battle, from
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			battlefield to battlefield,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			from one army to another army. He did
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:01
			all of that.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			And after all that journey, he's one of
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			the greatest generals in the history of mankind,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			not just in Islam.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			After all that journey, he dies in his
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			bed.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			Did he like it?
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			Of course, he wasn't like it. He was
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			so sour about
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			it. He was so sour about dying on
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			his bed.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			He gave his very famous statement
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			when he says, Khal,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			I swear to God I've been to this
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			this much and that much of of battles
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			and and and battlefields.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			And there is no space, there's no place
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			on my body that doesn't have a scar
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			because of a cut from a sword or
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			a or a spear or this and that
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			and so on.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			He goes, like, I've been chasing death after
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:44
			death.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			I've been chasing after it. I never I
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			never met it. And then he says, and
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			here I am
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			dying on my bed just like the camel
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:53
			does.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			And then he gave his very famous word.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			He says,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			Let the eyes of the cowards have no
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			rest.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			That the eyes of the coward have no
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			rest.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			Like, I will go chase after death, and
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			I'll just take all the risk you can
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:11
			imagine.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			But it doesn't come to me because Allah
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			did not distant death to come in that
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			moment for me. So those are afraid of
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			death, Ajamal. What are you afraid of?
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			If it's your time, it's your time.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			If not, take the risk that might bring
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			in the.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			We're just gonna have to take those those
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			risk. And here the prophet
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:30
			says
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			that even that person does on their bed,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			if they had that sincerity in the heart
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			about it, Allah will give them the and
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			the.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			Give us
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			the Any question in your mind?
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:50
			Alright.
