The importance of learning the language of the hood, Zayid, is emphasized in the context of the title of the famous book of Islam, Zayid, which uses the word zayde in various cultures. The loss of Sabrasis and the death of an upper middle-class man are also highlighted. The importance of protecting knowledge and memorizing the Quran is emphasized, along with avoiding harm. The segment uses a recitation of the Koran and a woman reciting the same statement.

00:01:12
Ali he was on the edge of my Bible. So today inshallah tada we are going to do a Sahabi, whom each
and every one of us, in fact, the entire Muslim Ummah owes an immense amount of gratitude to, and
every single Muslim should know the details of his story, his life and times, and the blessings that
Eliza has given us through him. And that is Zaid, even sabot, Alonso de Zaid, Ibn Sabbath and
ansaldi. And the reason why every Muslim should be aware of his name is that it was because of a
loss blessings through him that we have the Koran that we do today, the primary companion in charge
of collecting the Quran of codifying it, of putting it in this order in this manuscript form was
00:01:12 -->
00:01:54
none other than zayde admin Sabbath on Sati. And as emammal as a hobby when he wrote the biography
was a metabolite. He said that all of the millions of the Quran that are were written in his time
that they all go back to the blessings of zaidan Sabbath in his compilation of the Koran. And the
same goes to every single printed copy of the Quran that Allah subhana wa tada blessed us with a
person like Zaid and he was the one who was tasked as we're going to come to with the collection of
the Quran. So in today's lecture, inshallah tada we're going to discuss what do we know about his
life and times and also do his a hadith he has around 40 or 30 Hadith, we'll try to do at least 15
00:01:54 -->
00:02:36
of them. inshallah, to Allah today is a Debian Sabbath. He was from the unsought he was not of the
Maha genome. So he's born and raised in Medina, and he was from the sub tribe of the huzar Raj, and
they didn't Sabbath his father passed away in the Civil War called the Wars of broth, if you
remember the words of what took place around five years before the hedgerow and it was the primary
gift that the Prophet system was given by Allah subhanho wa Taala. It was because of the Civil War
in Medina, that the people of Medina wanted an outside leader, they were tired of the civil war
between them, and they were looking for an outside leader. And that is why they were very happy to
00:02:36 -->
00:03:15
find the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So in the civil wars Sabbath, the father of Zaid
passes away, and he is raised an orphan. And they they've been stabbed. It was a very, very
intelligent young man. He embraced Islam at a young age of 11 years old. And even before the
migration of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he had memorized all of the suitors that were
available to him, most likely from Muslim, they've been omitted, who was already present at the
time. And it is said that and he himself never use this as we're going to come to that when the
prophet SAW he said, A migrated to Medina, his tribe brought him as a young child as a token. And
00:03:15 -->
00:03:59
they presented him to the Prophet system as their prized possession. And what was the prized
possession that he had memorize the origin. And you could recite it with a good voice. And so they
presented the child to the Prophet, little lahardee, who was setting them. And he they said to him,
that this is our young boy, young man's at Urban Sabbath, and he has memorized either 12 or 15
photos or on and he is literate, now being literate at that age. And that stage is something that
was very, very rare. It was almost unheard of that a young child would be literate in that
civilization. And the Prophet system was very impressed when he heard the recitation of zayde. And
00:03:59 -->
00:04:08
he was also very happy to hear that he had learned how to read and write. And so when he finished
reciting the Koran, the prophecies and made the offer for him, and that
00:04:09 -->
00:04:57
clearly lasted would say, until the end of his life, and when he found out that zayde could read and
write, he asked Zaid, Eben sabot that, can you write the language of the hood? And Zaid said, No. So
the Prophet says, Adam said that, learn it for me learn it for me, because I don't trust the
messages that come to me. I need a secretary who can read their messages rather than one of them
translating I wanted from one of my own. And so Zaid said, I dedicated myself to learning the
language of the hood and I mastered it in two weeks. In two weeks, he became fluent in reading and
writing and speaking the language. Now, in some narrations, it says Locatelli hood, and in other
00:04:57 -->
00:04:59
narrations, the process of actually says do use Do you
00:05:00 -->
00:05:45
Do you speak or read? Cydia Ania. And so DNA is not Hebrew it is Syriac. So there are four or five
languages that are called Semitic languages you should know this is this is language information. Of
course, the most common that you should all be aware of is Hebrew. And Hebrew is of course, the
language that the Old Testament has been written in. In most of its times, however, there are
variants there are sister languages, and of them is Aramaic, Jesus Christ spoke Aramaic, and of them
is Syriac. And Syriac is a language, let's say between Arabic and Hebrew. And it was spoken in
pockets of ancient Arabia, and also in Mesopotamia, and also in places like the Levant and Syria,
00:05:45 -->
00:06:21
they would speak something called Syriac and Syriac is its own version of the Semitic languages. And
it appears that the Jews of Medina, were speaking Syriac as well. And these languages are all gone.
nobody speaks them anymore. They're completely gone. But there are there are departments when I was
at DLR. Remember, there were students and the Graduate Studies in other departments not in Islamic
Studies. But in ancient Christianity. There were students that were studying Syriac, there were
students that were studying Aramaic. These were completely lost languages, but obviously at advanced
levels, they are still around and they are taught one of my colleagues, who was interested in
00:06:21 -->
00:06:59
ancient Christianity was studying Syriac. And he showed me you know, some things and it's similar to
Arabic, just like Hebrew, ancient Hebrew is similar to Arabic. So to Syriac, Aramaic, they're all in
the similar genre, but they have different alphabets different conjugations. So they they both have
it, therefore mastered the language. Now, it is possible that he mastered two languages, because we
do have two different reports. One of them he said, I mastered the language of the hood in two
weeks. And then in another Hadith, which we're going to come to in the Muslim that the Prophet
system said, Do you speak Syriac? He said, No. So he said, master it for me. So they said, I took 17
00:06:59 -->
00:07:19
days to master it. So it appears in alumnos vest that it took he did he did two languages, Hebrew
and Syriac. And it's not something that is surprising if they were to have done this. Now, we also
learn from some reports, and this is not something you're going to hear in most of the Islamic
books, but we find references here and there. And
00:07:20 -->
00:08:04
it seems to be the case that zayde extended family before the coming of the prophets of Allah, why
do you sell them? It appears that some of them converted to Judaism, some of the unsolved pre Islam.
So let's say some of the people of yesterday, who were not Jews, by ethnicity, had adopted Judaism.
We learned this from the Sierra and we find references to some of the unsought I shouldn't say on
SOG because when I say outside, it means Muslims so scrapped that some of the people of Medina, who
were not from the tribes of the Jews, had adopted Judaism converted to Judaism married into the
faith, and were therefore adopted by the tribes of the Jews. It appears that one of David's uncle's
00:08:04 -->
00:08:49
was one of these converts to Judaism. And because of this, he was given the permission to allow
zayde to attend the Jewish madrasa. Okay, the Midrash numbers do the Jewish madrasa, there's a
macabre madrasa you can call it, that was something that the Jews would would would basically teach
their children in. And so it appears that they, as a young child, this is before Islam before it
converted to Islam, he's studying in the Jewish madrasa system. And this would explain many things,
because out of all of the Sahaba, Zaid was the one who seems to have mastered these languages, the
easiest. And also he seems to have mastered the branch that we call mathematics. He wouldn't call it
00:08:49 -->
00:09:31
mathematics. And we know this because he excelled in arithmetic and also in Division, and also in
inheritance laws as we're going to come to. So this would explain a lot of things. And there are
references that Zaid or the Allahu taala was raised in the culture of the Jews, not necessarily in
the religion of the Jews, because his father had not converted, his mother had not converted,
rather, his uncle had converted. And so he was studying in the the synagogue, if you like with an
amid that our system the madrasa system of the Jews, and this explains his precociousness because
obviously, at that time, children did not go to school. At that time, children did not study at that
00:09:31 -->
00:10:00
time they're doing whatever their parents are doing and chores and whatnot, and Zaid has this
opportunity to study. Otherwise, he's the only non Jew at this madrasa and therefore, when he
converts to Islam, he has an education that nobody else has. And this would also explain why it only
took him two weeks to then master the reading and writing maybe he understood some basic Hebrew, but
then the reading and writing and the Syriac. He then mastered it and two weeks are in 15 days and
this
00:10:00 -->
00:10:40
explains quite a lot if we follow this narrative and and for reasons beyond the scope of today's
class, let me just say that seems to be very clear narrative in shallow data. So eventually, they
therefore became the primary scribe and the primary secretary of the prophets a little laquanda who
was sent them so they it would be called to dictate letters to Zaid would write the Koran. There are
reports and sahadi in every book of Hadith, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in
Mohali, the version goes when Allah revealed such and such a verse, the Prophet says have said calls
a dibbens habit for me and asked him to bring basically paper and pen obviously didn't say paper and
00:10:40 -->
00:11:23
pen because neither is their paper, nor is their pen, but rather it is basically leather or
parchment or the backbone, the shoulder blade of Campbell's this is what they would use, and
basically some type of charcoal substance that they would use to write. So the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam would say, calls a Timothy, tell him to bring basically the instruments of writing the
tablets and the charcoal, and when they would come, the prophet system would say, look to write this
down, and Zaid would write down the Koran directly in front of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, this meek makes zayde amongst a small elite group of Sahaba that are called good tabel Ye,
00:11:23 -->
00:12:06
this is a subset of the Sahaba kuttabul ye the secretaries of the Quran, the qutab the ones who are
writing the way from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And this is obviously a small group. And of course, we
have people like Ali of nebia we have been misrule, these are of the kuttabul ye and the foremost
amongst them the number one amongst the kuttabul Why is he even Sabbath? So out of all of the
scribes of the Quran, the one who did the most directly in front of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam was aid in habit. They was too young to have participated in the Battle of better, better
comes and he's barely 13 years old, so he cannot participate in the Battle of better in the bottle
00:12:06 -->
00:12:52
of oil in his Sham mentions him with a group of six young teenagers. And he says these the
profitsystem bypassed and allowed to participate despite their age. So Zaid was the youngest batch
of participants in the bottle of water if you remember the story of an armada as well. And there
were others who were basically wanting to fight Abdullah bin Omar who was also young and he
negotiated I'm willing to fight and the process allowed him and so these young people 1415 years
old, Zaid is of the that that young batch that participates in the Battle of Oxford, and they
they've been sabbat he dedicated his life to knowledge he does. He's not known to be of the Warriors
00:12:52 -->
00:13:27
or the poets or the philanthropists, what He is known for his knowledge and in particular out of the
branches of Islamic knowledge, two branches, number one, obviously the Quran And number two, and
especially the fifth of inheritance, and it is in the fifth of inheritance that he excelled over
most if not all of the Sahaba in fact in a famous Hadith and Sunnah Timothy the process I mentioned
seven or eight Sahaba each one is saying this is the best and this this is the best in this so he
said the Most Merciful is Abubakar, the most knowledgeable have had and how long is his
00:13:31 -->
00:13:32
why they've been
00:13:33 -->
00:13:39
the one who is the most knowledgeable of the recitation of the Quran Accra own Nikita Bella is
00:13:40 -->
00:14:24
obey in this hadith obey each one is different By the way, it was through this praise in other ways,
but in this Hadith, Alcala obey, and the one who is the most knowledgeable in inheritance is Zaid
Evans habit. So in this Hadith, they Debian Sabbath is mentioned as the one who is the most
knowledgeable of the science of Islam that is called l l l l l. l L. and fara L is the Islamic
branch of inheritance, which is a very, very complicated branch, all of us who study Islam full time
we had to study we had a whole year of foreign aid where we go over fractions and what happens if
there's a half brother and a stepsister and an uncle and three aunts and whatnot is just very, very,
00:14:25 -->
00:14:59
you know, your mind starts swirling, they didn't Sabbath was the one who mastered this field. And
we're going to mention some things about this as well. There are also some indications of how much
the prophets love it he was sending them loved him of them is that in the Battle of tabuk, when one
of the husband Raj was carrying the banner of their tribe in the Battle of to book the Prophet
system took the banner from this man, and he handed it to Zaid Ibn sabot. The man who from whom it
was taken from Santiago sudo LA, have I done something wrong? Like are you taking it because I done
something wrong?
00:15:00 -->
00:15:45
The prophets have said no, not because of you, but we give precedence or respect to the Koran. Okay,
no cut them we give tuck them to the one who has Koran. And this is throughout the Prophet systems
life, he would always honor those who had the Koran, and they it was out of all of the hazards. He
was the one who knew the Quran, the best and the most. And that's why he allowed Zaid to be the flag
carrier in the Battle of the book, as as well we learned from a bit above the low tide and that had
been advanced would wait outside the house of zaytoven Sabbath and the hot sun waiting for his aide
to come out. And he would say that when he would see the the cousin of the process and he said Why
00:15:45 -->
00:16:28
didn't you you know, call me Why didn't you knock on the door? And he said, this is how knowledge is
sought, meaning I'm not going to bother you until you already and he would hold on to the Campbell
of Zaida bins habit and guided like a like a servant would guide the camel and Zaid Woods would be
embarrassed and he would say, oh cousin of the process of him stop. Yep. And I'm middle Sula, stop,
don't do this, like you're embarrassing me. And even our boss would say it all the time, hacker that
will milna enough Allah Buddha in now who is even a bus. He is the greatest scholar without any
competition of the last generation of the Sahaba. Okay, in a bus. He is called the habit of the oma.
00:16:30 -->
00:17:14
And the habit means the intellectual or the scholar of the oma, even Abbas was the greatest alum of
the younger Sahaba. Okay, because he dies in the 70 plus hedgerow. He's a young man with the process
of dies, when he's a young man who's he studying from the dibbens habit. And they learn to haoran
sorry, Abbas learned the Koran from zedi with habit. So even Abbas has to seal and have been Abbas,
his recitation is coming from zaytoven tablets. So this is then in our buses teacher. And that's why
even our boss would hold on to the, the the animal of Zaid and he would respect they'd like this.
And so panelo when he respected zayde, Allah subhanho wa Taala made people then respect urban advice
00:17:14 -->
00:17:55
when his time was, was done. Those who are humble to others, eventually a large origin makes people
humble to them, those who give respect to those who deserve it shall be given respect when they
deserve it. And this is the story of an Ibis that I mentioned, when we did it in our bus last year,
beautiful story of how humble he was, when he studied knowledge. Therefore, he became a scholar, he
became the greatest scholar of his era, we already said that sades knowledge of Islamic law of fifth
and especially of inheritance, made him famous amongst the Sahaba. And it's also clear that he was
good, as we said, we were called mathematics and this is demonstrated by a number of of tasks that
00:17:55 -->
00:17:57
he was given, for example, and what happened
00:17:58 -->
00:18:39
when he reconquered high. But if you remember, if you remember how you bought the process and had
allowed the who to stay there for a few years. And they stayed there. Then when it came to power, he
said, we have no need now and the process and the last thing that he said before he died meaning on
the last few days was a hurry Julia, who the one no Salam in Jazeera Tila out of expel the People of
the Book from the Arabian Peninsula. So Omar understood from this, that we should no longer have non
Muslim citizens of the Islamic empire in the Holy Land. In digital Arab, there shouldn't be non
Muslim citizens. So therefore, he told the hood that we hope we will purchase your land from you.
00:18:39 -->
00:19:21
And he gave them their price. And he asked them to basically leave and they want to read off in
other places. And all of this land now is going to the Muslims, and it's a massive amount of land,
he sent Zaid, even sabbat to basically distribute the land to those who deserved it from the Battle
of cable. So they David sabet, would calculate each share figure out and then he would give it to
the people based on his calculations, and an even bigger calculation. When the Battle of Yarmouk
took place. And this is one of the largest battles in the history of the Sahaba against the Romans,
the Battle of yoke, which took place in the time of Maha tabaka nombre de la tarde on home, one of
00:19:21 -->
00:19:56
the largest battles that ever took place, when the booty had to be distributed, they sent Zaid to go
figure out how to distribute amongst 10s of 1000s of Sahaba. And so this is something that requires
an Excel worksheet. It requires mathematical calculations. And data with Abbott did it off the top
of his head basically, figuring out the exact amount, how much everybody should get and then giving
them that quantity. So again, this demonstrates what we would call an education demonstrates
aptitude, of mathematics and of learning and cognition,
00:19:57 -->
00:19:59
as well as a dimetapp rhodiola, Thailand
00:20:00 -->
00:20:05
He played a very significant role when the prophets of the loggers and and passed away.
00:20:06 -->
00:20:48
The very first incident that took place, as we know is the incident of the self Tifa. When the
unsought and Maha junan there was some tension between them, if you remember the story, and
initially there was a suggestion that the unsorted, we should take charge. And that wasn't going to
happen. Then they said, Okay, let's have two leaders, one from us, and one from you. So let's have
two leaders as be fair and square. and voices were raised and things became tense. Then they made
and he was from the unsought. And that's why it's important to know this, they stood up and said,
the prophets of the law where I said him himself was from them. Oh Ha, Joon. And we were his answer.
00:20:49 -->
00:21:16
So our leader should be from them. Oh, ha Joon, and we will be his unsought as well. Okay, so the
act of humility from one of their own leaders from one of their own, and everybody knew the palm of
Zaid, everybody knew how blessed and respected and when he stands up and tells his own people that
this is not our job. This is the job of the Maha junoon. And we will help to the profitsystem. We're
going to help the on saw this is one
00:21:17 -->
00:21:39
of our beta, they raise the hand of a worker and they said that a worker raise their hands. I said,
No, we're going to give back to you. And so it was aide who calm the unsoldered down. And when he
made his statement, then the unsought had no choice but to acquiesce and agree. And this was a very
big blessing that David sabot had during the Life of Pablo de la.
00:21:41 -->
00:22:36
Zaid was appointed as the main call the the main family of Medina. And in Oman, his son or my son,
he mentioned that my father Omar would send so many of the Sahaba to the other lands to be full
haha. But he kept Zaid Sabbath for himself in Medina. He kept a Sabbath for himself in Medina, and
in the entire Muslim Ummah, Zayed was given the main position of solving complex inheritance
problems anytime there was a cutting edge inheritance problem, they would go to Zaid, even sabot and
therefore, it is true to say that Zaid admins habit really codify the science of Islamic
inheritance. Now somebody can say, isn't this science in the Quran? We respond just like filters in
00:22:36 -->
00:23:14
the Quran. And yet it wasn't codifies. Like if you look at the Quran and say, What are the kind of
sada the Quran is not going to list these are the, these are the shuru these are the YG. But that's
something that happened a century later. zaidan Sabbath was the one who extracted the principles
because the Quran will cater to 90% of your average scenarios and situations, okay, and an average
family, the problems come about those bizarre scenarios that you cannot cover, you know, in, in even
a textbook, you know, as we said, half uncle's step sisters, you know, brothers from the mother only
sisters from the Father, only uncles from this audience from that, and then you have this complex
00:23:14 -->
00:23:53
situation and scenario, and you're wondering, who should get precedence over whom these are the
principles that they establish? Now, I was wondering, should I go down this tangent and explain to
you what some of the principles, then I realized, it's just not going to work because the
inheritance laws are a whole different topic, suffice to say that there is a Master's dissertation
done in one of the Islamic universities, an MA dissertation called the contributions of zeta metabo,
to the laws of inheritance. It's something available in PDF and Arabic, obviously. And even when I
did the laws of inheritance, I had a whole year of that in Medina. And when we did them, we studied
00:23:53 -->
00:24:32
the opinions of zayde. They've been fabric in that class. And remember, clearly, this was the
federal aid. So it became the principle of inheritance from that time onwards. And that's why the
most famous color of the tab your own, without any exception, the most famous scholar of that
generation, eventually have a zoete we should say his of the miners have their own. On the tablet
tab, your administrator has already said we're it not for the fact that they can a lot canonized the
laws of inheritance, I think the laws of inheritance would have disappeared from the people. So
zayde was the one who really set the foundations and the structures for all of Islamic inheritance.
00:24:32 -->
00:24:44
And in the time of obachan Omar Zayed was one of the six people who were appointed to give fatwas in
Mecca and Medina, while the majority of the Sahaba are alive. zayde is one of them who can give
fatawa
00:24:46 -->
00:24:59
along with it, and more are just a handful of people. So they was one of those who was given fetch
what during the time of Oh bucket and aroma, and it is also narrated that he did some minor
political roles by and large
00:25:00 -->
00:25:41
was not a politician. And he remained out of politics. He was a pure scholar. And he obviously
sometimes he had to do something administrative. For example, more than once Omar al de la Juan
appointed him to be the governor of Medina when Omar was not there, so when he would leave for hydro
when he would leave for something, he would appoint a to basically take charge. And this shows you
the trust that robot had in zayde, even Sabbath are they allowed to add on? Now we get to the main
story of Zaid, what is his contribution to the oma other than fara. And that is, of course, his
qualification of the Koran we owe them in sabots. beyond words can express for every single copy of
00:25:41 -->
00:25:57
the Quran is essentially ullas gift to us through Zaid Ibn sabut. He was the one who structured it
in this manner who put it together. Now we will say of course that he did this at the will of Allah
subhana wa Tada. And he did this from what he heard of the prophet SAW some, but in the end of the
day,
00:25:58 -->
00:26:37
if the compilation of the Quran has an editor, it is a Debian sabots that's the way we'll phrase
Okay, if there is a human editor now we firmly believe that Allah preserved the Koran, but he used
people to preserve the Quran. This is what I'm trying to say, Okay, how was the Oregon collected, of
course Allah had willed it to be collected. And of course, Allah had protected it. But in the end,
it was entrusted to some human beings to physically do. And the main person to whom it was entrusted
was eight Eman, Sabbath. And that is why we always ate as we said, an immense amount of gratitude
that only Allah subhanho wa Taala can repay him back. So to summarize his story, what is the story
00:26:37 -->
00:27:24
of Zaid and the compilation of the Quran? This story is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari in detail. So
from the most authentic book, we get the story, and every book of Hadith mentions the story in some
in some detail. And then you have the books of the original Koran that mentioned it in even more
detail. And this, the the contribution of zayde is in fact, twofold. He contributed twice to the
editorial board of basically compiling the Koran. And each of these has a significant impact on us
today. The first of these isn't the time of abakada. So the UK, and the second of these isn't the
time of earthman isn't fun at all the Allahu taala. And, and between these two compilations is the
00:27:24 -->
00:28:14
timeframe of around 15 years. So he did edition one, then he did edition two, he did compilation,
one compilation, two, and we'll talk about some of the differences between those very briefly. So
what happened in the model of yamamah that took place against Mozilla Alakazam in the time of
overcast do so this is basically 13 or 14 months after the death of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
very, very immediately after the death of the prophet SAW sent him the Battle of yamamah takes place
and in that battle against masala the liar maceda Malika zap many of the who for whom the Muslims
used to lead as imams as leaders of the prayer, they were killed as shitheads perhaps up to 71
00:28:14 -->
00:28:23
version seven to her fault and one version had died a Shaheed and Omar began to wonder that if all
of our fault die, what will happen to the Koran
00:28:25 -->
00:29:08
because when the Prophet says and passed away, the Quran had not been written, as we all know, in
one compilation in one book from Fatah had told us, it had not been written in one book, rather
every time some Quran came the process and would dictate it to somebody and then that's it, life
would go on. And obviously, in the Salah, the process would recite this surah, that sort of this
sort of that sort of so collectively, the Sahaba had heard the whole Quran from the prophet SAW
Salem, and had written it down in his presence. But no one had actually written down one copy of the
Quran from the beginning to the end, that had never happened, because there was no need for it. And
00:29:08 -->
00:29:52
because the war had continued to come until one week before the death. So how could you have a copy
and then add and subtract. And then also abrogation is taking place, some verses are abrogated, as
well, so it couldn't happen in the lifetime of the process. And it had to happen after the war, he
finishes. And it is a loss of blessings to us that it happened barely a year after the death of the
Profit System. This is such an amazing miracle. Compare this to Christianity 140 130 years after
Jesus's timeframe compared to Judaism, maybe 1000 years after the time of Moses, maybe 1000 years.
The first time the Old Testament is written down. Okay, Hinduism, we have no idea which millennia It
00:29:52 -->
00:29:59
was written down much less with century, much less last year. We have no idea who the authors are,
what their names are, is just found. And that's it.
00:30:00 -->
00:30:42
So Subhan Allah, it is a lot of blessings. And that's why every fair minded researcher No matter how
much they want to stir up doubt about the Quran, they come to this conclusion for sure. And that is,
out of all of the holy books, the one that has been the most preserved, so much. So there's no
competition with any other holy book is the Quran, because whatever you want to say, the fact that
one year after the death of the process, and when every single senior so happy is alive, obachan is
alive, Roman is alive, earthman is alive, it is alive all of the seniors to have and they
collectively agree to the Quran, then that's pretty clear that, that it's a very authentic book, and
00:30:42 -->
00:31:14
my own Professor ideal, who was not a Muslim, who was agnostic was an atheist, and obviously, I got
to know him very well. And I asked him, so what do you think of the Quran? That is it something that
has been preserved? And he told me, I think, by and large, and he's one of the most world famous,
you know, Professor of Islamic Studies Tell me, I think, by and large, and his speciality also is
the Quran, that by and large, whatever the Prophet said is, the Quran is what we have as the Koran.
This was his analysis as well, and somebody who doesn't believe in, in nothing, who knows, and I
think why not I would have to learn just by looking at the academic evidence was by and large, what
00:31:14 -->
00:31:36
he claimed to be the Quran, this is what we have as the Quran because of how early it was compiled,
and the people who did it. And again, this goes back to a lot of blessings through Zaid Evans habit.
So the Battle of Yama takes place. And in the Battle of yamamah, many who fall are martyred. Omar
rhodiola, one panics, and he says, what are we going to do? So he goes over to the studio. And he
says that
00:31:37 -->
00:32:22
my suggestion to you or worker is that we write a master copy of the Quran, such that even if the
people's memory goes, we shall have the book with us, okay, we'll have a copy from beginning to end,
we're not going to be worried because what if somebody had memorized a surah, and he dies, and
nobody remembers that sort of other than Him, and we don't find the parchment It was written on
wasn't going to happen, then it's too dangerous. If three or four people heard the process of recite
such a sutra or such an ayah, then they all die one after the other in a few years, and maybe the
one document is written on is never found was going to happen, then there's a fear that something
00:32:22 -->
00:33:02
that the process and recite it as the Quran shall not be maintained as the Hold on. So a vaca
Siddiq, when everybody is still alive, all of us are here, let's all come together and compile the
master copy that we all know should be there. And I will walk around the level and said, I can't do
this. How can I do something that the Prophet doesn't herself? Never did? This is something he never
did it, how can I do it? And I will, but God was scared of falling into an innovation a beta. And he
felt that if this is something that should have been done, then the profitsystem should have done
it. And this goes back to the notion of what constitutes an innovation, what constitutes disobeying
00:33:02 -->
00:33:46
the Profit System. And this is not an innovation because it's not as if it's prohibited to do this.
You're not inventing a new principle, you are protecting knowledge. And this is something that
should be done, and I will work with us to do then is convinced by Omar until he says, Okay, I think
that this is a good idea. Then they discuss who should they put in charge of this task? Who should
they put in charge and task, and the both of them come to the same name immediately. And this shows
you the status of date, they had no difference of opinion, that the person that they should assign
for this task is none other than Zaid, Eben sabot. So imagine, out of all of the Sahaba, the one
00:33:46 -->
00:34:31
name that comes to both of their minds is none other than Zaid sabot. So they called for him. And
they said to him, that yes, you are a young man, who is intelligent. And you used to write for the
prophets, Allah sharp on African. So you're a smart young kid. So his intelligence, his education,
they know it. As we mentioned, he is a very educated man for the time in place. Hardly anybody had
gone through. In fact, none of the cyber that I knew went through that system that he had gone
through. So you're an intelligent young man, and learn at the Himalaya, we don't doubt you, we trust
you. And we want you to compile and gather the Quran from all of the Sahaba of Medina de all those
00:34:31 -->
00:34:59
that heard it from him, and then present us with the master copy with the first initial copy, they
rhodiola hota and said, if they had his telling this later on, and this is his body, hymns, his
thoughts, he said, if they had asked me to pick up a mountain and move it from one place to another,
that would have been an easier task in my mind than this one. The responsibility upon me, it would
have been easier to tell me to pick up a mountain and move it to another place.
00:35:00 -->
00:35:38
Then to compile the Koran. So this shows us his Eman and taqwa because those who want leadership
should not get it. And those who are frightened of leadership are the ones who are the most
qualified for it, he did not like it. And in fact, he initially declined. And the both of them
continue to pressure him and continue to emotionally pressure him, which is what you should do to a
real leader. The real leader runs away he doesn't want it until the others that are righteous that
are pious, they keep on saying we need you there's nobody else and then after this, you accept a
large degree and you move forward. And so eventually they did and fabric agreed to do this now. Why
00:35:38 -->
00:36:03
did they choose a bad habit? we'll mention seven reasons why did they chose the the myth habit
number one, that he is the primary scribe of the prophets of the Lord send them the number one
secretary, the number one person who is known for being the the, the category ye of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And in fact, in one book, we learn one of the reasons why that is the
case. One of the reasons was that
00:36:04 -->
00:36:48
the the house of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and the messenger of the Prophet system was in the
section of the balloon ajar, and then it was from the balloon a job. So the house of Zaid was one of
the closest houses to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And we learn this from an interesting
tidbit that we find in some of the books and that is that zeds house well, we should say his father
and mother's house his father's dead now, so his mother's living there, so the house was born and
raised in xanes house had the tallest roof in that area. And when the event was first legislated,
the profitsystem told Bella to stand on the roof of the house of zayde, before the roof of the house
00:36:48 -->
00:37:31
of the masjid was finalized, and before that was made called firm firm, the initial place of the
event for the masjid or the process of was the house of Zaid. So how close must it have been? you
get my point. Okay, the plan is being given from the roof of the house of xid, which shows you It
must be literally visual distance from the masjid. And therefore, when the Quran comes down, and the
Prophet system needs a scribe, he's not going to call somebody who's 30 minutes away 20 minutes
away. Zaid is three minutes away. So it is very common that he would say calls aid for me and say
this right there and he would come. The second reason is that Zaid was one of the few who had
00:37:31 -->
00:38:09
memorized the entire Quran, as I have said many, many times, most of the Sahaba were not performed,
because they were worried about the responsibilities of being a Hatfield. Like if I memorize the
Quran, what if I don't act upon it properly. And so they will not go forward like the way that we
have which is just memorize memorize. for them. It was memorizing for the sake of acting, and they
felt it was a big responsibility. So few of those few of the Sahaba had actually memorized the
Quran, and especially in the life of the Prophet system, there were even fewer who would be eager to
go and memorize every verse as it's coming down. Because think about it right? every few days a new
00:38:09 -->
00:38:45
is coming, who is going to keep track. Zaid was one of those and we learned this from none other
than NSF nomadic and I gave his biography. And so pneumatic said, for the people who memorize the
Quran in the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which means, of course, there were
more than four. But he's saying these are the most important four, which means they're making it a
point to figure out what's being revealed to memorize it will be a bit more either Benjamin, and of
them is a Debian Sabbath as well. So they it is of the whole fall in the lifetime of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The third reason, as we already mentioned, is that Zaid was an educated
00:38:45 -->
00:39:24
person having gone through the school system that was typically reserved for the Jewish children.
And therefore he has gone through reading and writing and arithmetic, as we would say, and none of
the other unsought had gone through that system. Because again, he's the only non Jewish person
there because of his uncle's context. Otherwise, it's something that the Jews do for their own
educational system. And then it's nothing that the Muslims would have gone through. And so zayde is
one of those. In fact, the only exception that we know, the fourth reason mentioned by aboubaker he
says that you are Shaban arkell you are intelligent, we already mentioned intelligent young man. And
00:39:24 -->
00:40:00
being young is very important. Because as we all know, especially those of us like myself who have
gone through those young years and they're in the past now, the energy and the zeal that you have
when you're in your 20s is not like when you're in your 40s 50s 60s Okay, and zayde at this stage is
22 years old 23 perfect age absolutely perfect. Like the zeal and enthusiasm that maybe you guys
have on
00:40:00 -->
00:40:09
Your first day of your first job. Hmm, I'm going to show the boss who I am. That zeal you're not
gonna have when you're 65 years old
00:40:13 -->
00:40:14
right?
00:40:15 -->
00:40:17
You're 39 Mashallah, Mashallah.
00:40:20 -->
00:40:49
So it's not gonna happen when you're 22. This is an ideal age, ideal age, like you're going to be so
dedicated and you're going to go overboard. That's what they did. And look at a woman and a worker.
Both of them are in their 60s and 50s. They chose aid because he's a young man in the Quran, shabu.
You're a young, energetic, intelligent man. So this is one of the reasons that they chose zayde
events habit number five.
00:40:51 -->
00:40:55
His relationship with the Quran goes back to his childhood.
00:40:56 -->
00:41:42
What is the first story that we know about Zaid, he was brought to the process as a young child to
recite the Quran. So panelists as if Allah had created this position for the first incident before
this, we know nothing about Zaid, really, other than he studied in the system, but no incident. The
first incident that we know about Zaid, he's brought as a young child to recite on in front of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The sixth reason is that again in the hadith of our learner to
him, aka, we don't doubt you, nobody doubts you. Your track record is clear. Your integrity is
beyond question. You are known to be sincere, and dedicated. And we see this even in the cicada
00:41:42 -->
00:42:29
incident, that he told his own people to give up their power for the sake of Islam. That's a sign of
sincerity, told his own people, you it's not our job, let them do it, and we'll be their helpers. So
you are a person we do not doubt. And therefore he was trusted by all of the Sahaba and he was
giving fatwa in Medina, as we know when a vocal number alive and he was one as a man himself said
that my father Omar sent many of the Sahaba to other cities, but he kept zayde for himself in
Medina. So he wanted to keep the best Fatih in his time to be giving fatwa in Medina. And then point
number seven, and perhaps the most important point of all, they was present when it's called they're
00:42:29 -->
00:43:13
out of a hero, the final time that the Prophet says and recited the Quran in his life. This is
called a hero. What is allowed, allowed God is what would happen in the month of Ramadan, every
Ramadan, as we learned from the hadith of unece, and others and Sahib Bahati that the Prophet system
would meet Djibouti every night yet adara Sol Koran they will teach the Quran to one another means
go back and forth Moraga. Okay, so some have said that Jubilee would recite and the process would
recite back to him some have said the process and recite to gibreel some 100 gb recite to the
process and Allah knows best but the point is Djibouti and the Prophet system would go over the
00:43:13 -->
00:43:15
Quran cover to cover
00:43:16 -->
00:43:32
and from this we get our Salah to Torah, we issue of dividing onto 30 ports and reciting when every
single night as we said, and Ramadan is only six weeks away, so be prepared. Six weeks that's it was
Milan and we're ready for it. Are we ready for Ramadan or not? Bismillah? So
00:43:33 -->
00:43:59
zayde was present in the final Ramadan's recitation. And we learned this from one of the Tabby rune
from Amanda salami, one of the tabular with the students of Zaid who said that zayde was present
during the outlaw era. And this is of utmost importance. Why? Because from the outset, a hero from
the final script, they would have learned that 13 of the sutras
00:44:01 -->
00:44:04
because the 13th of the sutras is not something you can figure out from the Salah
00:44:06 -->
00:44:43
if the process and recite in one suit on the first Sarkar and others would in the second regard, how
does that the whole Quran how you're going to compile it together? Think about that. Right? How are
you going to compile the whole Quran if you're not going to hear it, cover to cover. And then also
another very important point, the concept of abrogation. And this is a deep concept, but we as
listener, the Morteza denied this, and I think as well, the she I deny this as well, but the eldest
son affirm something called abrogation or ness in the Quran. And ness is the concept of some verses
having been lifted up for wisdoms that are
00:44:44 -->
00:45:00
beyond the scope of this class. And in our books of Hadith, we find a number of instances of this
that there were verses revealed, and then they were then abrogated, lifted back up, and this is
mentioned in the Koran. My nan saffman is an Onan see how not to be hi
00:45:00 -->
00:45:46
I'm in her home with Leah whenever abrogate a verse, or cause it to be forgotten, some verses a low
cost to be forgotten, except that we bring something better than it or equal to it. So the concept
of Venus is well known in our tradition. How then can we confirm what has been abrogated? Somebody
must have heard the final recitation, and that is a Sabbath on Saudi. So they they miss Sabbath was
the right person and nobody in all of Islam had all of these seven characteristics other than Him,
no one, no one combined all of these characteristics other than Zaid bin sabot. And so they
reluctantly agreed to the task and model the law one stood up in the member after most likely Juma
00:45:46 -->
00:46:31
will assume this is after Juma because every major announcement is done after Juma and he announced
that they are collecting the copies of the Quran and he said that Zaid is in charge everybody bring
your poron your your Quran means what here whatever you've written, no, there is no must have. There
is no must have, nobody has almost have no one. Some Sahaba had partial must haves 40% 50%. No one
had a mill stuff. Nobody did it. Some Sahaba were more concerned about writing more portions of the
Quran. But no one had a full copy of the Quran not even close. No one. And also, by the way, one of
the reasons nobody had a full copy of the Quran. Can anybody guess why?
00:46:35 -->
00:46:36
By resources, what do you mean?
00:46:38 -->
00:46:41
What are you going to write it on? What are you going to write it on?
00:46:42 -->
00:46:57
What would you write it on? There is no paper. I gave a lecture in this very Masjid seven years ago,
I think about paper, leather, leather, one leather like you know your leather jacket. Okay, imagine
if you were tried to put on your leather jacket.
00:46:58 -->
00:47:05
Imagine how thick that would be. And that is why the earliest must haves are literally this big.
00:47:06 -->
00:47:45
Literally like three feet by four feet. This is the earliest Muslims from the first century of
Islam. Literally, I'm not exaggerating, and I've seen pictures of them, I have not been able to
touch any because they're beyond the touch of the average person, you cannot go and touch them. But
there are behind you know, glass doors and whatnot. Those are ons were literally that the number one
number two, how much leather do you think you're going to need? How many 1000s of camel skins, right
to write one copy of the hold on? Who can afford that, as an average person who can afford 1000s of
leather skins Think about that. So you have to have the state to help you the Treasury to help you
00:47:45 -->
00:48:29
not an individual person. So nobody had a copy of the Quran. So I'm literally stood up and said,
anybody who has anything that he wrote in the presence of the prophets as a means dictated directly
bring it and he commanded they to sit in the section of the masjid. And so they became the
committee, the editorial committee, where people would come and tell him and for every verse that he
found written down, he also required to her fault as well. So he required now scholars have
different data required to written and to memory or one written and to memory and that's beside the
scope of our class today, our talk today, he basically required something in writing and something
00:48:29 -->
00:49:10
memorized. Somebody must have heard it from the Prophet system and somebody must have written it
from the Prophet system, so that there's a corroboration. Okay. Somebody heard him recite it and
some salad or something, and somebody had written it, so there's a corroboration. So, Zaid said, I
began to utter jumble, like bits and pieces collect together, the Koran, from the leaves of date
palms, and the shoulder blades of Campbell's, and the pyrite because there was a pirate there was
prepared that they would get from they had their technique and they would also get it from the
Egyptians. When somebody sent any document or letter, they would then wipe it away and then use it
00:49:10 -->
00:49:52
again. It was something that they would you so they did have a concept of pirates that the Egyptians
had invented pirates. It is somewhat thin, but not paper thin, but it fades very easily. And it
wrinkles very fast, and it doesn't last too long. So I gave the lecture on paper, you can listen
online, it's from MIT. The benefit of paper is not only that it is thin, but it lasts hundreds of
years. 1000s of years if there's no moisture, this is why paper changed everything. Okay, and paper,
as I told you in that lecture, it was first invented by the Chinese but they never used it. For some
reason. They just didn't understand the significance. It was the Muslims who then adopted that
00:49:52 -->
00:50:00
technology and made it a global technology. Then as with most things when the Europeans found it,
initially they took it from the Muslim
00:50:00 -->
00:50:04
And then they bettered it. And we were left behind and they went forward with the soap.
00:50:05 -->
00:50:09
paper is not in the picture right now. They're just giving you this as something later on. So
00:50:10 -->
00:50:50
they they've been habits that I began to compile the Quran from bits and pieces, literally, he's
getting this from various sources, and he is then putting it in its proper order. Now, very deep
question. I'm not going to go too deep into this because I don't want to confuse you. And it's not
the lecture to do this today. Where does the order of the sutras come from? There's many opinions
Believe it or not, the standard one, the easy one, the one that we all like is that this is a divine
order, and it is from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And it is from Jubilee to the prophet to the Sabbath.
And that is a good opinion and hamdulillah. That's good. There's another opinion that the 13th of
00:50:50 -->
00:51:32
the sutras is something that was decided by the Sahaba. Okay, and if this opinion is valid, and that
also has some evidence for this opinion, then the primary person that is going to make this decision
is eight. So if we follow the second opinion, right now, I'm not going to get into the pros and cons
of both opinions. Let's just leave that for now. If we follow the second opinion, which is that the
total tube or the arrangement of the surahs comments from the Sahaba, and that has some evidence for
it as well, then the Totti primary person would be zeta metabones. So once again, zayde role in
deciding which Surah Now he's going to be the initial editor, if you like, then the Sahaba will
00:51:32 -->
00:52:11
approve, and then there's a jamaa. So either way, from an Islamic perspective, there is unanimous
consensus of the Sahaba of the arrangement of the suitors, and in our study are the unanimous
consensus of the Sahaba is a source of legislation. Is that clear? So really, in the end of the day,
the net result is the same and that is the arrangement of the sewers is binding on us. We are not
allowed to reprint the Koran and change the sewers for no reason we can have selections of the
suitor no problem. We cannot print a full must must have and then we decide I want to put this outta
there this sort of they're no we have to respect the law of the Sahaba or if you follow the first
00:52:11 -->
00:52:26
opinion, we have to follow the 13th of Allah subhanahu wa tada So zayde has a very interesting
Hadith I'm actually gonna jump to that Hadith right now and and then come back to this the book of
Muslim Obama later on
00:52:27 -->
00:52:27
that
00:52:32 -->
00:52:33
day they've been sabbat says
00:52:35 -->
00:52:52
the mecca tub to massage when I was writing the muscle I have to I attend to a smile Hammond
rasulillah is awesome. I couldn't find one idea that I used to hear from the Prophet salallahu idea
he was sent him now this is very important. Zaid is a half elf.
00:52:53 -->
00:53:43
And he knows the whole Koran. And he's waiting for confirmation for his own memory. He could have
written the arm from his own memory. And if he had done that, then nobody could have said anything.
But he wanted confirmation from others. And he said I was waiting to find an eye I didn't find it
with anybody. But I had heard it many times from the prophets alongside him until I only found it
with one person who's aima Ansari. I only found it with Jose Manuel Ansari. And which is this minute
minion Eddie Jordan Sadako ma de la la. There are those people who have fulfilled the promise that
they made to Allah subhanho wa Taala and all the way to the end of the ayah. And Zaid says Jose Emma
00:53:43 -->
00:54:20
was the one who was called Xu Shahada teen the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had said his
Shahada is equal to two Shahada. So I took it and I put it in the most half. Now, this is such an
interesting and bizarre tangent will lie It's a miracle. The only Sahabi whom the Prophet says that
I'm said your testimony is equal to two is Jose another side because Emma and Zaid require two
witnesses for every verse.
00:54:21 -->
00:54:53
And he knows there's a verse he could not find it with anybody except this one Sahabi whom
coincidentally you know, obviously Allah other the one Sahabi, whom the profitsystem said your
Shahada is equal to two is the one for happy he finds this ayah with if this isn't a less other and
miracle all setup than what is too much to to make it this precise, right? And who is presented by
the way, just very briefly, because again, this is such an interesting story, whose aim is from the
Zetas from the
00:54:54 -->
00:54:58
hostage hoses from the house and he was from
00:54:59 -->
00:54:59
the
00:55:00 -->
00:55:33
participated in more than and what and what not. The story goes that was one of the better ones. And
remember, the better ones didn't have a man, the better ones were most of them. Not really Muslims.
And when African as Allah says, woman Arabi when after, who knows, you know that Allah says in the
corner, one of these Bedouins comes. And he's buying and selling merchandise, and the profitsystem,
purchased some goods from him. And he said, I'll get you the money, I'm going to get you the money.
So the process is in the school, and he purchased some goods in the meantime. So the goods are
there. In the meantime, another guy comes and offers more money.
00:55:34 -->
00:56:13
So the veteran says, Okay, forget that. I'll just take this, I'll take yours. The process then comes
back and says, Give me my goods, and gives him the money. The man says, Well, I already sold it. The
problem is that I we already agreed. We had an agreement. So the better one says, Do you have
witnesses? It's upon Allah. The better one says you have witnesses shall bring me your proof. So and
this is the marketplace. So the profitsystem looks and says, has anybody witnessed what happened? as
anybody who heard the initial transaction, like because he didn't know who was behind it, Who's
there? And so when I look at the the humility of the profitsystem, like, he becomes just a regular
00:56:13 -->
00:56:32
disputant against this man now, right? The man is saying, even though he's the leader of Medina,
he's also the law, but the Bedouin saying, I used to be your witnesses. So the process of saying,
okay, was anybody around when I agreed with this price and whatnot, and the Muslims are getting
angry at the Bedouin? How dare you who is a result of law? And then Hosea says, I am a witness.
00:56:34 -->
00:57:16
The prophets have said, Did you hear me and him? says no. So how can you be a witness? How are you
witness when you didn't hear? So he said, You are Rasulullah and I believe you and everything. How
can I deny this? Like you are the salt? I mean, how can I deny this? Of course, I believe you. So
I'll be a witness. So the process of smiled and said, Your Shahada is equal to two Shahada is just
like that, even though in this case, he didn't take it and apply it on the Bedouin. Like he just let
it go. Because Okay, if he's gonna cheat, then call us let him cheat and Allah will deal with them,
but just like to praise Jose Lima. He said your Shahada is equal to two Shahada Subhana Allah, what
00:57:16 -->
00:57:21
an amazing incident right? That amazingly, it just
00:57:22 -->
00:57:37
who I mean alone, you but who else knew that this hadith would become crucial to the preservation of
the Quran, because they did not find this I except with Hosea urban Sabbath, on Friday, and
00:57:38 -->
00:58:17
today, on my Facebook, I posted something about Hosea because they're gonna be doing all this
research and I came across a beautiful hadith of Hosea, this is Jose my urban fabric, where Jose mas
saw in a dream that he is doing such the, on the forehead of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
So he came the next day and he said, you know, Sunil, I saw a dream that I'm doing such the, on the
forehead on your forehead. So the process I'm held on to his head, and brought his head close to his
head until the two foreheads touched, right, and he said, very early in the row, hello, row, and the
row meets the row in the sleep, okay, that our rows met each other in the sleep, okay, and he then
00:58:17 -->
00:58:25
physically did this without the two foreheads were touching one another. This is Jose, what an honor
and blessing for Jose, and
00:58:26 -->
00:59:09
Jose ma are the law of Thailand, as well, he, there are many blessings about Jose maybe it's habit.
But again, the point here is that Subhanallah, the one person who Shahada is equal to two is Jose
Ma, and he's the one that that I is found with now. Interesting point as well that Zaid is looking
for this ayah, which means he's he's consciously basically putting and and, and and collecting the
suitors that he knows another point, this hadith mentions follow along to haffi mecanica. I put it
in its place, which is an evidence used by the first group of scholars who says that everything was
in a place by a law by the prophet system. That's an evidence used by them. So again, there are
00:59:10 -->
00:59:13
evidences on both sides, and we're not going to get into this one. So
00:59:15 -->
00:59:49
this was the first if you like, receptacle, the first most half that was that was written and Zaid
is the only person in charge one man committee is ada metabones. And that's it. And he gives this
master copy to Abu Bakar. When Abu Bakar passes away, it is inherited by Omar because it's state
property. When Omar is stabbed to death, then because it was no immediate clean after after him. So
it was kept in the house of hafsa. Our mother because hafsa is his daughter until eventually,
basically it was
00:59:50 -->
01:00:00
destroyed at the commands of the early oma years for again reasons beyond the scope of this class.
So it was something that lasted for around 15 years or so. This is the first committee of
01:00:00 -->
01:00:43
ain't even thought but there's a second committee as well. And this takes place in the time of
earthman. In the battles of Azerbaijan, these are probably 2122. Digital. Okay, so we're talking
about around 1718 years after there are 19 years after the first compilation. Okay, so now his aid
is in his 40s now, and in Azerbaijan, Muslims from Iraq met with Muslims from Syria, and Muslims
from the ages. And the three of them, were reciting the Quran with different accents, different
language. Now, again, this is a very deep concept. And we don't have time to get into it in detail
in this thing, but every language has its tones. It's in in
01:00:44 -->
01:01:19
inflections, how we speak English in America is not how it's spoken in England, or in Canada, or in
Australia. In fact, even in America, how many different dialects exist, and you don't just have
dialects, you have word substitutions as well, okay. You know, British and English, they have
different words, okay? When I was learning in Serbia, but most of my peers were British students. So
I picked up a lot of their words as well, you don't say I'm going to call yours, I'm going to ring
you. Okay, so you're going to ring you with the phone. So these are things now, you know, so if I
wanted to say I'm going to give you a call, if I said that to a British guy, he thinks I'm going to
01:01:19 -->
01:01:53
shout at him. Because calling his shoutouts you don't say that, because I'm going to give you a ring
is littered with this, I'm going to give you a ring, I'm going to ring you, we don't say that here
is I'm gonna ring you. So what happened was some of these new converts, were substituting in new had
it, you know, this and that. So you had a whole mess of this early, and they didn't understand you
have to be strict, because these are new people. Some of them are non Arabs. Some of them are
speaking Arabic in different dialects. So you had all of this hodgepodge going on complete chaos. So
today, finally a man and I gave his biography three weeks ago today from new man the same day for
01:01:53 -->
01:02:31
him the amount of new haccombe, that's imperative for the feminine the man, he saw a dispute in
which two groups of Muslims, instead of fighting the enemy, they were almost about to fight each
other over how to recite the Quran, that saying, this is the way this is the way that they first
said, Unless we stop this, we have a bigger problem than those guys. So he left the jihad. And he
returned to Medina, one of the senior most Sahaba that was in Azerbaijan, he returned to Medina, and
he said to Earth motive, and I found that on Earth, man, you had better stop this dispute, before we
split up, like the Jews and Christians split over their holy book. And he told them exactly what's
01:02:31 -->
01:03:09
happening, that this is not gonna, you know, we need to we need to make sure this doesn't happen. So
it's a man called a committee of all of the Sahaba and he said to her, they've told them what
happened. So they've had said, this is what's happening, that people are reciting the Quran
differently, you know, synonyms, substitutions, dialects, this and that, and it's not gonna, you
know, we better stop this. So what should we do? So, suggestions were given here and there until
finally, the suggestion was given that the, we will pronounce the Quran in the dialect of the
whorish. Okay, we're going to use the ledger of the Quran, which is what we do to this day, to this
01:03:09 -->
01:03:50
day, our scientific theory then everything is from the ledger of the orange, the other Arabs had
different legette and they would substitute words and letters that we don't do in the Quran. So for
example, the Hadith lay seminal bit of Sam if you suffer, one of the tribes would make substitutions
and if that lays them in m m cm, so for Safa, they will change the meme to about to a meme, and they
will do their job does the famous Hadith that some of the later scholars of Hadith also
mispronounced it in their own ledger? And the scholars had to say this isn't the process of speaking
this is the middle guy lays them in m cm for Safa lay seminal bit of cm of his suffer. And one of
01:03:50 -->
01:03:53
the Hadith narrators said it in that way. So this was happening with the Koran.
01:03:55 -->
01:04:30
And that's why the committee said, what we need to do is to go back to the original of the Debian
tablets, the most probable backer and make master copies and send copies to every province along
with the audit a teacher who's going to teach the Quran from the larger of the kurush because it
came down in the ledger of the Quraysh. Okay, and they needed a group of editors now to make master
copies, not just one copy. So once again, Zaid was called
01:04:32 -->
01:04:59
and Zaid was given the task to produce master copies of the one master copy, right. And this time,
though, they said we're going to add other people to the committee, because oh, Zaid, your ledger is
from yesterday from Medina. Right your ledger is on solid, slight differences might have been there.
And we want to make sure is the ledger of the Arabs and they chose
01:05:00 -->
01:05:46
The most foreseer eloquent of the oroshi and his name was sorry the Manila house he was from the oma
we can say the house was one of the younger Sahaba but he was known to be fussy be the sandal. He
was very eloquent and the horseshoe dialect and they said oh sorry, did you recite the most half of
eight like what you have you recite and they will write again, but this time, your lecture will be
written down as well. Now, what is the difference we already actually know of a difference one
difference is the word boot to boot to boot. You can write it with a term or Buta and you can write
it with an actual tab
01:05:47 -->
01:06:36
okay. And they would write it with a timer Buta and the array writing with data. And so this is a
difference. How do you write the letter like you know, British English versus American English color
CEO or CEO? Oh, you are okay humor. This is small differences in the very little things and Zaid had
written it according to the writing style of Medina. Okay, and now I wanted to basically do a
version of the writing style of the Quraysh slight differences here and there. But there's no
difference in Ayah no difference in a surah is the same Koran. But what I make sure now that the the
spelling that we use and the pronunciation is going to be preserved of the kurush and rather than
01:06:36 -->
01:07:16
one copy, we need six copies, some said five Some said eight looks to be most likely six copies. So
the committee then sat down and duplicated the master copy with if you like fixing the the
Spelling's, okay? The Spelling's that were between Mecca and Medina, whatever between the larger of
the onslaught, and the larger the porridge. And then these copies were sent around the provinces.
And earthman then said that anybody who wants to recite the Quran and write the Koran, you need to
come to these master copies and study with the guy that we're sending, the main guy that we're
sending, and so these names are known. And that's their note, and anybody who owns your own personal
01:07:16 -->
01:07:51
copy, you need to respectfully get rid of it. And respectfully getting rid of it meant that you
either burnt it, or you throw it in the ocean, or you buried it deep, this is how we get rid of a
mustache, right. And because this was done at the command of the halifa, so every province would
basically collect the forearms, they would have hundreds of mishaps and then they would burn them,
and burning them is not disrespecting them. As we know from our tradition, when non Muslims read
this for the first time, when you burn a book in the Western tradition, there's a psychological
difference when you burn a book in the Western tradition is because it's sacrilegious in the eastern
01:07:51 -->
01:08:31
tradition in our religion, you burn it out of respect that you don't want the paper to go to nudges
you don't want the paper to be trampled on. So you burn it to extinguish it so that it's not
disrespected the exact opposite. You burn it out of respect so that people don't trample over it. So
that doesn't go stuff with a lot to digest or something like this. So when the Westerners read this,
they said, Oh earthman burned the most house because the psychologists know complete cultural
misunderstanding of what happened, he burnt it out of respect, not out of disrespect. And with this,
then every single must have in the world, then followed the arithmetic must have. And to this day,
01:08:31 -->
01:08:53
our must have followed letter for letter, the most half of Earth man, even if it is called the
arithmetic must have. But once again, who is the actual main editor? They the one who's writing
sorry, it was dictating sorry, the mouse, Zaid was writing down, the spelling was taken by side but
the scribe is none other than Zaid Evans, avid. So both of these
01:08:54 -->
01:09:28
were done by Zaid in Sabbath, but all the Allahu taala. I know, some final points that you should
also know by the way that even was rude, you should know this, I want you to hear it from me rather
than somebody else. Even Massoud, he kind of felt left out and he had every right to feel left out
that you didn't consult me. And I am somebody who studied directly with the process. I mean, if
anybody has the right to feel left out, it's even muster. So again, look at it from his perspective.
And when the command came to, you know, dispose of your personal must have. So he basically said,
I'm this is Microsoft, I'm not going to dispose of it, I copied it directly. And again, he has a
01:09:28 -->
01:09:54
right if you look at it, he has a right to that position. And he said Why should I listen to a young
kid who when I came to Medina, he still had his two ponytails playing around you know, with the kids
of the Jewish tribe. So you know, it was rude as a man as a as a young kid when he migrates but it
was why should I listen to him? I learned the Quran from the Prophet system directly 70 suitors and
this type of stuff is understandable. It is said that eventually even miss Rodin,
01:09:55 -->
01:09:59
you know, acquiesced and whatnot, but initially there was some hesitation to do so.
01:10:00 -->
01:10:20
finishing up the life of Zaid bin tabet. When Earth mundo de la Juan was surrounded by the mobs,
they visited him and earth man said that you can help me more outside my house than inside my house.
I mean, I appreciate the visit, but the people are outside. So they went outside and began
negotiating with the mobsters with the with the rebellious crowd.
01:10:22 -->
01:11:04
Some of the riffraff stood up and hit him. In which case, at which point some of the unsolved stood
up and said, How dare you hit and harm they do not realize that if you kill Zaid, he said to the guy
that was harming him, that if you kill Zaid, you wouldn't even know how to inherit your own
inheritance. You wouldn't you would need to go to date for that. So Zaid negotiated with the mobs
outside and some people left and and he himself was also attacked in defending earthman for the load
data on and he said, standing outside the house of Earth man, yeah, en sobre la kulu Ensenada LA, so
especially to the onslaught, and he succeeded in getting rid of some of the unsought who are outside
01:11:04 -->
01:11:57
of the house. Yeah, on sobre la kulu en sobre la, be real on sight of Allah, and don't do this earth
man's life is sacred. And so, some of the unsought then left when they told them to do so. And the
Battle of between it, and while we are the last one, they was on the side of it, but he refused to
participate and draw his sword. He was there in spirit, but he didn't participate with the sword
until I might have been the acid was killed when he saw a mod killed, that is when he took off his
sword, and he fought against them. Because he said that I heard the profitsystem say talk to local
theater about here that the party is going to kill a mob. And he then lived in Medina until he died
01:11:57 -->
01:12:41
in the year 45 hegira. And when he passed away, even agda said, this is how knowledge goes away.
This is how scholars go away. Today, most of knowledge has been buried Woods eight, this has been a
bus sink, right he died in the year 4500. I mean our bus lived for another 30 years. And when they
died in a bus said this is how knowledge disappears. Today, knowledge is being buried most of
knowledge is being buried today. Adil Medina, the teacher of the mount Bahati said there were only
three companions who founded schools, Madeira says they they've been sabot in mustard and even Ibis.
They found it means they had students and they had students. So as aid is one of those people who
01:12:41 -->
01:13:21
did that. They had a large family he married many times, three or four wives and two or three
overwatered. And he had perhaps around 30 children, but one of his children is the most famous
scholars of the next generation. There are seven who are called an fuqaha, a sabar the seven
scholars of the Tabby rune who are all in Medina at the same time, and all of our religion of Islam
goes back to them. These are majority of them. Not all majority of them are children and
grandchildren of the Sahaba. Okay, so for example, we have
01:13:22 -->
01:13:59
an awesome a bin Mohammed in Vivica sudip. This is one of the folklore of Sabah we have Salim ibni
Abdullah habanero moto hotdog is one of the folklores sabar we have a ban even earthman I've been a
fan. Okay, so about Coronavirus, man they all have grandchildren or children that are from the
fourth Saba and then we have Abu Salah even Abdul Rahman didn't have his son. Then we have our
eminence development I won one of the Oklahoma Sabha and then we have hardage Eben Zaid Ibn sabot
hardage Gibbons, eight immotile. And there are others as well. Simon will say it is not one of the
sons of the Sahaba. So one or two were outside but the majority of them are children and
01:13:59 -->
01:14:11
grandchildren are the Sahaba and one of those seven is hardage. Eben Zaid had been Sabbath so his
son hodja became one of the main scholars of the next generation of Islam. And
01:14:12 -->
01:14:33
with the death of Zayed obviously, the senior level of scholarship he was the last of the senior
level of Sahaba to pass away then the next generation of Sahaba came like even Abbas and others. And
with that we just want to I know it's time is limited, I just want to go over three or four I was
going to do 15 minutes upon Allah, no time as usual always we get to the end of the time.
01:14:35 -->
01:15:00
So I'll just do a few ahaadeeth from Zaid even sabot. So, and again this is Muslim by Mohammed and
he has around 40 a hadith narrated so not a large number, not a small number. Most of is a hadith
deal with fear and inheritance and foreign not surprisingly, okay, fifth and inheritance and hold on
and again one of the reasons I do this so that we get the personality of
01:15:00 -->
01:15:36
Sahaba through the narrations that they're narrating because what they're narrating is what they're
interested in. So he has quite a lot of a hadith about buying and selling quite a lot of a hadith
about inheritance and quite a lot of idea about the or on and how much the process of recited So,
for example, Isaiah had been Sabbath, I ate this rule with the Prophet salallahu it who was sell
them, then we went to the masjid and waited for the karma. Somebody asked him how much was the time
between the circle and the farmer. He said, how long it takes to recite 50 verses of the Koran, how
long it takes to recite 50 verses of the Koran. And so basically between the man and the farmer is
01:15:36 -->
01:15:40
like 15 minutes or so how quickly was I 1550 versus is going to be like that.
01:15:42 -->
01:16:21
One day they've been Sabbath. The Profit System said to me, Dorsey, no, sorry, Ania Do you speak or
do you know how to read and write Syriac for books come to me and I want to read them or letters
come to me and I want to read them? I said no. So he said, then learn it. So I learned it in 17
days, sebata shadowman. So say the same. I learned Syriac in 17 days. And another atheist said I
learned Locatelli code in 15 days, which seems like I said he learned two languages Hebrew, and
Syriac. And Aleksandra knows best. The next idea, beautiful habit. I really love this hadith that
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said,
01:16:22 -->
01:17:00
Whoever concentrates his desire in the for the Hereafter, then Allah will make all of his affair is
easy for him. And Allah will give him riches in his heart, and this world will come to him subdued
and submitted. But whoever makes this world his main Nia, then a law will dissipate his affairs, and
a law will display his poverty in front of his eyes, and nothing of this world will come to him,
except what has been decreed for him. In other words, aim for the Hara, and this dunya will come to
you.
01:17:01 -->
01:17:43
Aim for the dunya and it will not come to you. And this is zayde. That in reality, I did not mention
that they lived we would call him an upper middle class life. He wasn't rich. But some handle on
money came to him from sources like alleges bless him from the door of the process, what he's doing.
And this hadith applies to him. And we need to learn from that as well. was a myth Sabbath. He said,
I recited suta najem to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he did not do such. So he's
reciting the Quran to the processor. The fact he doesn't do such that it is because it is not wise
you HAVE to do such. So this hadith shows us he does not want you to do such that if you hear a
01:17:43 -->
01:18:29
recitation of any verse that has surged in it, one other study that will do then one day they've
been Sabbath and he said, I would write for the prophets of Allah, why do you send them the Koran?
So one day he said to me, write this down. So that a nice average 95 law Yes, the way you do now,
don't quote me, this is not the eye as we recited law yesterday. You do not well, Mujahideen, a FISA
be the law, not equal are those who are sitting and doing jihad in the way of a law I wrote it down.
Then Abdullah Al Maktoum came the blind Sahabi and he said Yasuda law. I also love jihad, FISA,
Beatty law, but I have a disability disability, as you see, and I don't have my eyesight.
01:18:30 -->
01:18:32
So meaning it's not fair that
01:18:33 -->
01:18:56
I'm sitting back, and I cannot go but I want the other of the Mujahideen. So they said, I was
sitting next to the prophets of the law, why do you set them and I could feel his thigh on me. And
all of a sudden, his thigh became heavy on my thigh. So much so that I felt that his thigh would
crack my thigh in half.
01:18:58 -->
01:19:07
I felt a weight that was unbelievable. Then he opened his eyes and said, write this down. And then
the verse changed.
01:19:09 -->
01:19:09
Last
01:19:11 -->
01:19:59
minute me Nina, why you oral body, one Mujahidin a feasibility. So a layer or the body and also
meaning was added into the verse that wasn't in the initial verse. And so it was specifically gifted
to even remember to him and through him to all who have disabilities. What does the verse translate
as not equal or those who sit down from the believers unless they have a legitimate excuse with
those who do jihad in the way of Allah. So unless they have a legitimate excuse, and they have a man
was revealed for even when they mocked him, and they said, that I am looking at as if I'm looking at
the parchment that this
01:20:00 -->
01:20:13
That I added on later auto body like you had to write it in the corner over there. Okay, so jabril
came back down and and of course this allows others to basically you know, reaffirm the story for
him to mimic doom.
01:20:14 -->
01:21:00
One more had this beautiful Hadith here zaytoven Sabbath says one day I was sitting with the Prophet
of the Lord YT who was sell them and I I mentioned this headed because of what's happening right
now. And he said to buy the shampoo body shampoo body Sham, your other Sham if that will be headed
to Bali Sham bless it are the people of Sham or Allah's blessings is a sham or Jenna is for the
people of shampoo bar is a tree of gender It is said or it is blessings or good tidings. So I said,
why the people of Sham and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said alamanda equal to Basu to
engineer Hatta Allah Sham, the angels are covering a sham with their wings. Okay, and he said this
01:21:00 -->
01:21:02
hadith when Sham was Roman territory.
01:21:03 -->
01:21:09
He said this hadith when there were zero Muslims in Sham What do you think about now?
01:21:10 -->
01:21:37
What what is happening is happening. So Toba, the Sham from even before Sham was Muslim, how about
now when it is Muslim and obviously Sham of the process includes Syria and Jerusalem and Philistine
all of this that whole land are the most that certainly Baraka Baraka, not hollow all of this is
without a sham, and inshallah with that we will continue on it to go on but inshallah we'll finish
off in shallow Thailand.
