Yasir Qadhi – Al Walid ibn Walid R.A

			Smilla Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in
Hadith recorded in Sahih Muslim, la Tehran Minalima woofie che never trivialize any good deed, I
want you to memorize the simple beautiful Hadith never trivialize any good deed, you do not know the
effects of the smallest of good deed. It is possible that something you do innocently without
understanding the repercussions of what you do can literally change the course of Islamic history.
And in today's brief, hotter, I want to mention one such beautiful example. We all know the single
most famous general, upon whose hands ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala allowed the majority of conquests that
		

			forever benefited the OMA and that is highly dependent Waleed. We all know that this was a person
whom the prophecies of himself called the unseeded sort of Allah safe woman so you Fila he must rule
the open sword of Allah subhanho wa taala. This was the lack of the title given by our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. What most of us are not aware is that Harley Davidson police conversion
is one of those stories that takes place without even understanding the repercussions of what will
take place. And it involves his older brother, Al Walid even unworried. So the family of cognitive
elite. Of course, his father, by the way, is actually the winner of the euro. And actually, they've
		

			done a movie euro was the chieftain of the blue mass zoom, and the bundle Masoom was the tribe of
Abuja. He and I both thought it was the chieftain of the bundle Hashem, and the bundle Hashem and
the bundle Masoom were the two most influential tribes of licorice and the chieftain of the boom of
zoom, the cousin of Abuja, * is actually this is called its father Khalid Ibn unworried. So this
actually the abnormal hero by the way, this will lead others out. And John Arma this will will lead
was the one that the process that was talking with when even OMAC tomb came this is that Al Walid
and Allah azza wa jal mentions a madman is still gonna this is Al Walid, this is actually also al
		

			Walid, the beginning of surah and Mudassir when Allah azza wa jal mentions the whole story that
others have another one and from another battle was tough, but if it were called and had the
electroneutral in her Allah holdall worship, so obviously his soccer dad is worried Allah is
speaking about unworried. Over here he had three sons Alwaleed, Khalid, and Hashem. These three sons
Holly's the middle son, all three are enemies of Allah and His messenger. They participate in the
Battle of butter, and
		

			a lowly Walid is taken prisoner, the eldest son, the father is now det. Al Walid is taken prisoner.
And he comes to the masjid of the Prophet salallahu Salam, along with 70 of the prisoners of war,
and the Prophet system and the Sahaba they make an assessment of what will their ransom be those
that had the highest amount of money the wealthiest families their ransom was 4000 dinars the
highest level, those that could not afford anything as you know the famous story they were to teach
the children how to read and write and they will let go free but everyone was given a price tag
depending on his family. A low leads family is the richest family of Makkah. So a lower needs price
		

			tag is the highest category, only a handful got 4000 That was one of them unworried, so they have to
wait for the money one of the brothers to father's dead now he's dies, so why didn't he sham were
arguing and the one of the one of them is a full brother one ism as a half brother, the half brother
says, I'm not going to get 4000 for him. And the full brother says of course you will. We're going
to do it. So it takes a while is delayed. In the meantime, Al Walid is stuck in the profit systems
masjid for perhaps we don't know exactly maybe 10 days, he's there 10 days. Now, what's gonna happen
when somebody sees the Muslims and the Sahaba and the prophets Assam for 10 days. Unbeknownst to
		

			anybody, Islam entered the heart of the prisoner of war. He's tied up there was no jail in Medina.
There was no complex, you know, like the current guy is doing for the innocent children that doesn't
exist. Okay. There was no you know, barbed wire. Where is the prison? It is the masjid itself. So
unworried, along with all of the other prisoners are essentially living in the masjid, they're given
food, they have bathroom breaks, they're going to come back and they're staying in the masjid. So
for at least 10 days, maybe even 15. Alwaleed is observing the Muslims listening to the whole buzz
and de Roos, seeing the community and slowly but surely, Islam enters his heart. Eventually, the
		

			brothers in Makkah resolve their dispute, they get the 4000 and Khalid comes to Medina as a mushrik.
And He hands the 4000 to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and and Walid is now freed. So
		

			It was late at night they exit the city. They go to sleep, Khalid wakes up and his brother where he
is nowhere to be seen, gone, disappeared. Where did he go? Lead returns back to Medina to accept the
shahada in public in the masjid that the prophecy center hours after he is released, the Sahaba
said, Why did you delay? I mean, if you wanted to accept Islam, why this 15 days and your brother
comes in the money? So he says, firstly, I didn't want you to think that I accepted Islam under
pressure.
		

			I didn't want you to think that there was a gun to my head, right? That metaphorically, and I'm a
prisoner of war. And so I'm trying to wiggle my way out. I'm coming as a free man. Now. Nobody can
make it to him or doubt about my philosophy. And secondly, why shouldn't the money of my father
benefit you?
		

			Let his money come after all that he has done, let him benefit the Muslim ummah, and so called it
imagine how he must have felt he walked all the way or he took his cattle and walk all the way alone
from Medina to Makkah minimum of 10 days travel, and he thinks he's gonna bring his brother back,
neither the money nor the brother come back, and he asked to return, humiliated and embarrassed.
This is called his first exposure to what Iman does in the hearts of the person. And then Khalid
continues his way, you know, and what he does making dua for his younger brother father, because
Khalid was the one who argued I'm gonna go the full ransom he's making dua, you know, I want him to
		

			be guided. He's begging his pleading, but kinda takes a different time. You know, what happened at
what you know what Khalid Did you know what happened at Azov? You know, what are the harder it
becomes essentially the son of his father, you get my point, he is going down that track, but it
will lead never loses hope. And he begs the Prophet system to give me something that I can say to my
brother, give me a phrase that I can try to convince him. And so what happens was in the seventh
year of the hijra, in the seventh year of the Hadron, when the Muslims are going to do Omura, for
the first time, you know, the Treaty of Arabia, remember that incident of the Sierra where the
		

			condition was, they're going to come back the next year and do umbra, and they will have Makkah for
three days. Right. Al Walid and Khalid have not seen each other for seven years, six and a half, six
years, they haven't seen each other. They have not seen each other at all. And then when he wants to
see his brother Khalid, he is hoping you know, there is no cell phone, there is no satellite,
there's no you know, texting, he is hoping that haunted stays in their house during those three days
so that he can meet his brother Khalid after all those six years, but Khalid's anger is so much he
said, I don't want to see the Prophet system and the Sahaba doing Dawa, I want to leave Makkah, I
		

			don't want to even be here and look from the window and see the Muslims. I want to leave Makkah. So
as you're aware, probably half the city left MCCA and half the city locked their doors and stayed
home for three days, right? That was the condition that for three days, you know, no one's going to
exit from the Quraysh. Or they can leave their houses and for three days, the Muslims will be there
and then leave. So how did opted to leave the city? Now, obviously, I really didn't know this. He
rushes to the Father's house, he opens the door. He's eager to see nobody with the women there. They
tell him sorry, hearted left, there is no Khalid, his heart is broken. But he has a message from the
		

			process and that he has extracted because he's the one getting these positives. And he writes a
letter and leaves it in their father's house for his brother, his younger brother for the college.
And he says and the letter is recorded in Niblick, Athena and others and even a sham, he says, My
dear brother, yeah, actually, my dear brother, for how long will you run away from Allah and His
Messenger, my dear brother, for how long my dear brother, this my dear brother that and he writes
him a moving letter that only a brother can write to another brother from the heart to the heart, he
opens up, he hasn't met his brother since the Battle of brother, my dear brother, my dear brother,
		

			my dear brother. And then he says, and I have gotten a guarantee from Rasul Allah says, and I'm for
you by name. Now, he didn't tell him that he was the one who got the guarantee. Leave these details
out. But he wants to impress his brother and he says the prophets Assam told me that if only Hadith
becomes a Muslim, Luca Raman, who we will indeed honor Him, we will give him the Koran that he
deserves, that will make him an honorable person, we're going to give him the the status and dignity
to being the son of a Lolita dermaclara. So he sat at the process and mentioned your name. And he
mentioned you he said he did a promise he's going to, you know, help you and whatnot. And this
		

			letter Subhanallah soften the heart of Khalid Abner Walid and he began thinking about converting to
Islam. He began thinking about well, is it really true that these are all idols? Is it really true
watch and worship Allah Subhana Allah, and his best friend at the time, was his second cousin it
crema Reclaimer
		

			It couldn't have been Abuja who, because Abuja would either in Malaysia are first cousins. So Khalid
and Nkrumah are second cousins, their fathers are cousins, right? And so one night, you know, just
like young men, they're out long, late at night. They're talking they're chatting, they open up
their deepest, you know, confessions and whatnot. And Al Waleed says sorry, call it says to Nkrumah.
		

			Come on, really? We know these gods are false. I mean, let's be honest here. You know, we all know
this, that these so why don't we worship Allah alone? Why don't we accept the message of Islam? They
were half drunkard has said one version says And Allah knows, maybe only Allah knows. But you know,
they weren't in their full senses. It crema lost the plucks it cream in the middle of the night
began screaming and shouting Asaba Have you become a Muslim? You're going to leave us you're gonna
abandon your father. How dare you Have you lost your mind and the commotion he became so angry he
called the rest of the Quraysh in the middle of the night, because Khalid is the son of a loony This
		

			is no this is not some innocent this is this is the pure policy blood. This is the chieftain son,
this is as close to Realty as the Quraysh can get. So he called Abu Sufian in the middle of the
night to aim whatever goes to the door calls half the Quraysh and he goes What are we gonna do do
something he's thinking of converting and now Khalid is alone in a room full of seniors of the
Koresh and you know mob mentality what happens right mob mentality, one man surrounded by enemies,
voices are raised, a sword is brought out a sword is unsheathed and in the anger, one person is
about to strike down cognitive another will lead when all of a sudden jumps up and said, I didn't
		

			call you to kill him. The same person who called them now I didn't call you to kill him. Are you
going to kill him? Because he wants to change his faith and so he calls this Allah and he calms them
down. He sends them home Hadith says okay, okay, you guys are right. You know, you're I agree.
You're allowed to you're allowed to I agree you all right, and he calms them down, placates them and
the same night College, goes back home, packs his bags, gets onto a horse and rides out in the
middle of the night to make Hijra to become the very last batch of three people to make Hijra before
the conquest of Makkah. Allah blessed cod. It didn't actually to be the last batch of Mahajan. You
		

			know, the Mahajan and the Ansari. The last batch of Mahajan was called in and Woody and I'm going to
build a house and
		

			so I had been Mr.
		

			Seibel, Mr. Rathman. Very good. Zach Aloka. So, the one who owns the keys of the Sahaba of the of
the kava right, these are the last three Sahaba, who made Hegira before the conquest of Mecca, Allah
blessed hardly the man who will need to do that. Now, what is the lesson from all of this? And then
of course, what happened happened. And by the way, Al Waleed, His death is not known. He didn't play
that type of role. Maybe he died very shortly after the death of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and
then life went on. He also by the way, helped in the conversion of Hashem the youngest brother. Now,
the story the moral of the story is what's the legacy of hadith is known to all of you. How many of
		

			you know the legacy of it? Can you imagine all of the blessings that Khalid did, shall be credited
to Khalid and to Al Walid his brother? Imagine that all of the baraka and all of the glory and all
of the love that Harley didn't he add, Masha, Allah how much there is a silent creditor? You see,
Allah azza wa jal gives and gives and gives. And as the Prophet sallallahu it was send them said,
The one who calls others to good shall get the reward of the one who does it without diminishing the
word of the one who does. This is what I'm saying. Law to Iran, middle man who fish a one letter
written from the heart changed the course of Islamic history, never trivialize a smile in the face
		

			of a non Muslim, never trivialized good o'clock when you're presenting Islam never trivialize
honesty in your dealings, never trivialized any good deed because you do not know the impact. It is
very possible that one such small deed can literally change the course of history by the color of
Allah, you might not even know it, Allah knows it is very likely that what he did not see did not
live to see the true result of hardest conversion. Most likely he died very early after the death of
the process, and in all likelihood, he didn't see the conquests and yet the Hassan ad will be with
him in the cover because he did what he did with if lost without diminishing any good that was done.
		

			So Allah the Quran Minalima roofie che never diminish any good deeds that you can do any
opportunity. Just do something and leave the rest to Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah azza wa jal
guidance and guide
		

			and others through us. And one other point my dear brothers and sisters, a lot of people have come
to me with questions and whatnot. So I want to be very, very clear. I am here for the epic
community. Anytime you see me you may come up and ask a question. I will most likely not have office
hours because I am here every day you will see me if I'm in Dallas you will see me in sha Allah if
you don't see me most likely I'm either secret traveling so I will come in sha Allah this is I'm
here anytime you have a question feel happy that whatever I am here for you in shallow data don't
feel embarrassed or shy you will see me walking back home no problem come up to me and ask the
		

			question. That's the whole point I want to benefit you you want to benefit me if I have the answer.
hamdulillah if not, then I will try my best to get answers for you but don't feel any embarrassment
or hesitation to come up and ask me any question. This is what's my purpose one of the main purposes
and roles that we benefit one another may Allah azza wa jal grant is it philosophers akmola said I'm
able to catch up.
