Yasir Qadhi – Seerah – 104 The 1st Rightful Khalifah Of Islam, Part 2 – Election of Abu Bakr R.A

Yasir Qadhi

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now discusses the subject of argument between the Sunnis and the Shias – the Election of Abu Bakr As Siddiq RA as the 1st rightful Khalifa of Islam.

We have numerous evidences in the Qur’an where Abu BAkr RA has been chosen for the coveted job after the Prophet ﷺ such as in Surah Tawbah and another Surah where the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr RA are hiding in a cave. Rightfully so, there are also innumerable Hadith which highlight the stature and position of Abu Bakr RA.

We have a discussion on the merits of the two famous Sa’ds in the history of Islam. Sa’d ibn Mu’adh, and Sa’d ibn Ubadah. What are they? Listen intently as Shaykh Yasir delves deeper.

Abu Bakr RA, in all probability, chose a delegation which obviously included the senior most leaders such as Umar RA himself and Abu Ubaidah RA. This was done immediately so as to take care of the external matters or matters of the city. As for the  internal matters of the household, Abbas RA and Ali RA took charge along with Zubair ibn al-Awwam RA.

When commotion began to ensue among the people on who should be the next Khalifa based on Abu Bakr RA suggestion to choose one amongst Umar RA and Abu Ubaidah RA, Umar RA could not take it any more and he pledged his allegiance to Abu Bakr RA in a raised voice, thus bringing a culmination to all the pandemonium that was happening until then.

The matter of the election of the 1st Khalifa happened in a day. Only when Abu Bakr RA was appointed as the Khalifa and the Khutbah given by Abu Bakr RA was the body of the Prophet ﷺ washed and prepared for burial.

			smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala
alihi wa sahbihi agema in my bed after so many breaks that were unexpected because of the cold front
and whatnot and shallower finally Alhamdulillah coming back, I think after one month, how long has
it been?
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			More than a month, like one month, one month, four weeks break, I think right we had. So the word,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			Marcia, so it is a four week break. Now we're coming back after that.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			This is the fifth week to be very pedantic about it. So.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:01:21
			So for week break, as I said, Lila, and we are now resuming our session. And some people have
suggested I should not call this Cyril anymore. And this is a valid point because of course, the
zero is now over. Nonetheless, what we're discussing today is related to the death of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And it is, of course, the election of the halifa, Abu Bakar. So
therefore, the love of Thailand. And as every single Muslim is very intimately aware, this is where
the theological divide begins between Sunni and Shia Islam. This is really where it all begins. So
today's lecture is not just historical, it is also theological. Today's lecture is not just
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:59
			historical, it is also theological, because we believe and this is the difference between Sunni and
Shia Islam, we believe that will work harder. So therefore, the Allahu anhu was the person who was
the most suitable to be the halifa. And this is a religious matter, and not just a political matter.
And of course, the other group disagrees with this. So the question arises, and so today, we're
going to do a little bit about this issue. It's not going to be that detail because this is not a
class as soon as versus sheer ism. And I'm not going to give you the Shiri evidences, why not,
that's a separate class. I have spoken about this in other seminars, not in this historical but you
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:42
			cannot talk about the election of Obama without at least giving some indications of the theological
differences as well. So the question that arises is how was a worker so the chosen what was the
methodology of his choosing? There are three opinions if you like about this issue within Sunni
Islam. The first of them is that the Sahaba amongst themselves decided to choose a workers to do
there is nothing from the Prophet sallallahu Sallam whatsoever. And this Some have said this is the
majority opinion in Tamia also seems to some in some writings lead to this opinion, that the Sahaba
amongst themselves thought and talked and then they chose abubaker. The second opinion and this is
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:27
			narrated from a bazillion others is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam indirectly
indicated that aboubaker should be the Khalifa indirectly indicated, not directly, and neither was
there nothing, which is the first opinion. And well, let me be precise, the first step in does not
say there was nothing. The first opinion says no doubt the process that I've said that Abu Bakar was
the best in terms of his father, in terms of his status. But the first opinion would say the process
um, did not indicate who should be the political leader after him, right? All of Sunni Islam agrees
that a worker's deal is the best Sahabi amongst all of the Sahaba. Right, so the difference comes,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:59
			how was he chosen to be the halifa some group will say, the Sahaba realized he was the best, so they
chose him to be the halifa. The second opinion says, The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam subtly
indicated that he should be the halifa. And there hasn't been others indika held this position, that
there is nothing explicit. But neither is it neutral. Rather, there's hints shots, that a worker
should be the halifa. And the third opinion is what's left now.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:24
			The coprocessor clearly said, and this opinion has also been hinted at by some of the earlier
authorities, and it is also the position of the famous and the Lucien scholar even hasn't even
hasn't said that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam explicitly commanded the Sahaba. It's a command.
Right? And this is in exact contradistinction to the sheary
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:59
			theology, which is that he commanded it to be the Khalifa, that's the sheary theology, and even has
them and others say no, the exact opposite. He commanded Abu Bakar to be the halifa. Right. And this
is a minority opinion, minority opinion. And frankly, I did some research, I could not find another
name other than if it hasn't, it has been narrated, you find it that some people said Who are these
people? I could not find anybody other than a minute hasn't maybe there are other people that are
saying, this is a very small minority opinion that the Prophet system explicitly commanded the
Sahaba that for example, when I die, the halifa should be a worker.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:35
			a deal. This is not the majority opinion, the majority opinion is between one and two. The majority
opinion is between one and two. And frankly, the two opinions are not mutually exclusive one and
two. One and two are not mutually exclusive. Is that clear? In other words, both of them are valid.
Because the first group, what is it saying? They the first group is saying that the Hadith about Abu
Bakar just mentioned how great of a person he is, and he's the greatest. But then Isn't that an
indication as well that,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:19
			that he should be the leader? Right. So therefore, in my opinion, really the first and the second
opinions are really the same opinion, which is that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam did not explicitly
say, I will but couldn't be the halifa. But there were enough indications that the Sahaba therefore
understood, who should be the halifa. So you can kind of combine between the two opinions and make
it into one opinion and a lot of xojo knows best. And interestingly enough, as time went by, many
aroma and many scholars have seen and many theologians attempted to derive or onic evidences for the
khilafah worker, believe it or not, they attempted to derive boronic evidences for the killer for
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			Abu Bakr, Siddiq rhodiola. One.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:34
			So much so that the famous Shang, clearly who is the author of World War advan, he actually derived
a little bit of advanced advanced,
		
00:06:35 --> 00:07:00
			convoluted evidence from Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen. From the first verse of the Quran, he
kept on going, going going until he basically got to the conclusion that and this verse also
indicates the LFO blocker so I mean, there are all of these things, but there are some verses that
are perhaps a little bit perhaps more indicative than others. of them, of course, is the verse that
talks about obika what is the verse that talks about? Oh, Walker?
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			Is the what
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:24
			second in the cave? Right. Sania naini in Houma Fillmore. Okay, sarnia naini is Houma for the heart.
So, what is the How How can this be used to derive a worker should be the halifa. So they say, if he
is the second of the two, then when the first one is missing, who is left?
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:10
			elbow Walker, right. So Allah says he is the second of the two. So logically speaking, when the
first is not there, the second must come and stand in his place. Right? So when Allah subhana wa
Taala explicitly calls him 30th name. This indicates therefore that one, the number one is not there
and is missing, passed away. Number two will take that place, and frankly, that's not a bad
evidence. Okay. It's actually somewhat of a good evidence here that when Allah says overcoat is the
second of the two, therefore, when number one is not there, number two then gets into the place. And
in fact, linguistically, What does halifa mean linguistically halifa means the one who has been
		
00:08:10 --> 00:09:01
			appointed to be in charge of So, highly qualified means to take over when the person leaves. So,
when somebody leaves, then the halifa comes. So when a last set the worker is Danya, 13, then in
fact, this makes him kind of the halifa because califa means when the one goes, so then number two
comes in, therefore, this is one opinion. Sorry, one, if another IRA that is used as soon as
October, verse 100. where Allah says, was sabich owner a Walloon? Amina mo hygena. One I'm sorry,
we're letting our own beer son, and those who are a sabya, Kunal a one on the earliest, who raised
to convert to Islam, from them, Oh Ha Joon and the answer and those who came after them. So in this
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:26
			verse, Allah subhanho wa Taala is basically indicating that the earliest converts are the best and
they are in order after the prophet SAW Selim. So after the process of Who do you have a sabya Kunal
our Luna Mina mo * Dena will answer the earliest of the bachelors who raised from and then even
there's a 31, Hydra then on salt. So who is the first adult convert of the Mahajan?
		
00:09:27 --> 00:10:00
			workers? Right? So Allah subhana wa tada therefore, is also indicating according to this
interpretation, that workers should be should be in charge after the process. And now these are the
two verses that in my opinion, have at least in my opinion, some it makes some sense. There are at
least seven eight others that are given that, frankly, I don't find much substance in it seems more
imaginative, such as hamdulillahi Rabbil alameen. He goes through here and there until the guest
says I don't see this as being direct. But these two I think they have some semblance
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:46
			of authenticity that yes, indeed the Quran is praising Abu Bakar indirectly or directly in the first
verse with Tanya tonight, and from this, you can somewhat extract, the theological point that Abu
Bakar has to do is the most qualified. Okay, so the Quran does seem to have some indication. As for
the ahaadeeth, there are so many a hadith about the blessings of a worker, we can give an entire
lecture or two just about those Hadith. But I just want to mention three or four, that indicates
that a worker clearly has a status that the other Sahaba do not have, even when it comes to issues
of standing instead of or in place of the processor, ie the halifa of the Prophet system. Because
		
00:10:46 --> 00:11:24
			again, What does halifa mean? califa means you're standing in place of somebody else. So what are
some of these a Hadith of the most authentic and the most explicit is a hadith in Sahih. Bukhari
itself, that the Prophet system is seeing a dream. So he is predicting the future by seeing this
dream. And he is saying, while I was sleeping, I saw in a dream that I was standing next to a well,
and I pulled from this well, as long as a low world that I pull. So he is now pulling water. Then
Abu Bakar came and he pulled a bucket or two.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:12:11
			And in his pulling was some weakness, it wasn't as strong as mine, there was some weakness in it,
then Romer Avenue hottub came and the buckets became a and the Arabic word is used, which basically
means a much larger so they have different in English, we have buckets, with a small bucket, medium
bucket, large bucket. In Arabic, obviously, when you're drawing water from a well, you have so many
different nouns to describe the size of the bucket. And the first word used is the blue. And yellow
is basically a small canister. Then the next word is user and what came and it became basically the
much bigger buckets the much bigger one that is used for watering camels or something and so it
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:25
			transformed to this one and the prophets are seldom said I have never seen a knob cloudy, like Omar
working with the buckets, like anybody else and I buddy, of course
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:35
			in modern Arabic means genius, but in classical Arabic, it meant something above and beyond what is
natural, supernatural or
		
00:12:36 --> 00:13:22
			above normal. So the process some called by the way for the Arabs here, the process some called
Ramadan, Abdelhadi, okay. He called him on an abacus. And now buddy means more than regular, okay,
more than what not so, the process of said, I never saw anyone, like Omar in the dream, obviously,
pulling the water out of the well, so much so that the people returned with their camels to the
camel pens, and have had the meaning. So much water was given not only to the people drink, the
camels drank, and they drank all the way to their full and the camels that went back to go to sleep.
Okay, so this hadith is in Bahati. And the symbolism is obvious. It's beautiful. It's profound. It's
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:32
			obvious. The process is saying that after I went away after I left, Abu Bakar took over and he
continued my job for a year or two.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:14:20
			Because he was only there for a year or two for a buck or two. Right for a year or two. He continued
and there was some jerkiness. Some it wasn't a smooth, why not it's not a worker's fault. Things
happen in his head after that. It wasn't as smooth. Because what happened in his head over the whole
oma fractured up, right? The oma was about to collapse. And Allah saved a throwable worker. So this
is now it wasn't as smooth. It's not that boubakeur is problematic is that there are things
happening, but he manages to continue the flow. No matter what happened, he's still continuing the
flow. And this is what we believe that our bucket is salvaged by the blessings of Allah, He He
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:57
			healed the wounded oma and word not for a lot and then a loss choosing a worker, the oma would have
splintered up. And that's it Islam would not be what it is today. So Bakker managed to continue. And
he was needed for Omar to come because of what had come at that time. And he tried to do it that
fast, it would have broken the road would have broken, wouldn't have lasted, you needed Abu Bakar to
just continue the flow. Once the flow is back to normal, or Omar comes in. And then he takes the
flow and he turns it into a river basically, right. Now, he doesn't say river by the way, don't
misunderstand me. I'm just trying to say the Hadith says that the small bucket becomes the massive
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			bucket and everybody and even their camels
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			To drink, meaning what was the symbolism here?
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:24
			the conquest of the oma. And it is amazing. In our 14 centuries of khilafah, 14 centuries of Islamic
history, the conquests of Roma, remain unparalleled. I mean, honestly think about it. When our
technology, our money, our weapon was nothing.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:16:13
			Last time, he managed to do what no other halifa has ever done. And it is really mind boggling if
you understand history and whatnot. And you understand the status, the military status of the Arabs,
versus the military status of the Romans and the Persians to completely decimate the sassanid
Persian Empire, wipe it off the map of history, the Roman Empire could not harm the Persian Empire
for 350 years. In fact, the Persian Empire usually was stronger than the Roman Empire. And yet, here
comes a bunch of Arabs, an educated, could not read and write, they don't have weapons, they don't
have military training, they don't even have the horses and the regiments that the other troops
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:50
			have. They don't have the armor, they don't have the nothing is there. And for them to come out of
nowhere, and completely wipe off the Persians from the face of this earth. Girl, I'm talking a bit
nervous as if they never existed. Well, light to this day historians are scratching their heads,
like how could we explain this? And of course, they have their theories. But of course, we know the
real story. And that is that he told the lecture up of the processor and the processor and said,
Allah will tear your kingdom up, like you tore my lecture up. And that's exactly what happened.
Barely 10 years after the processor said this house, their kingdom was gone on the hands of a model
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:36
			of hip hop and the Roman Empire. Around half of it was carved up the jewel of the Roman Empire,
Damascus for us. Damascus is associated with, of course, the oma years and the the Muslims realized
before Omar concreted, Damascus was the jewel of the Roman Empire. It was on the on the route of the
Silk Road, the Silk Road pretty much ended in Damascus, starting in China, all the way to Damascus.
And then it moved on to the other lens. This was one of the most important cities of the Roman
civilization. And of course, bladder, Sham, Jerusalem, all of this. And it was, of course, in the
time of Ramadan, that all of this was conquered. And so all of this conquering, this is the well
		
00:17:36 --> 00:18:11
			becoming that river and everybody's drinking. The water is so much the power there is, is just
coming everywhere. And the oma is still benefiting to this day from the conquest of Roma, yBnL
hatami. Claudio Allahu taala. And who, so this dream clearly indicates what does it indicate that
when I leave abubaker will take charge when Abu Bakar leaves, armor will take charge, okay, even
though the Hadees does not mention the khilafah, but it is understood. Other ahaadeeth also install
a body. Also inside the body.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:35
			A woman came asking for some money, some help some financial aid. And the process of them said, I
don't have anything now. But come back on such and such time, you'll get it. So basically nothing
now but come back. And I promise you have it. So the lady is desperate. She wants the money. She
says, Yeah, rasulillah What if I come back and you're not here?
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:52
			Meaning what if I don't find you? She didn't mean if you're dead. She meant? What if you're not
here? What should I do then? So the prophet SAW Selim said, If you do not find me, then go to Abu
Bakar.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:59
			Of course, the context of the Hadith is one thing. But the wording
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:44
			is much broader. And it has really been hedger comments on this hadith. And he said, this is an
evidence that the halacha was to be given to aboubaker after the death of the Prophet hustler. If
you do not find me, then go to a worker. Now the context indicates, or the context tells us this is
about money. The woman wants money, what if she can find the processor, the President said go find
out about God, he'll give you the money. That's the context. But the wording is so broad, that the
Prophet says in the saying, in any case, you do not find me there is a person that will do what I
want him to do, and that is a worker acidic, and therefore this is another Hadith as well. And there
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:59
			is yet and this is in Bahati as well. And there's yet another Hadith as well, that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said as soon as Timothy he said ectodomain lithium and badie a bucket in
Oman, follow those who will come after me, Abu Bakar and Omar so he may
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:42
			To buy name, follow those who will come after me Abu Bakr and Omar and just had it is in Timothy and
there's also the famous Hadith in Sahih Muslim that Abu hurayrah was sitting with the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and in the garden and the the there was a knock on the door and and
we're in Virginia's beloved one versus Abu hurayrah and the process was that go see who it is. And
then whoever it is, tell him that Allah gives him glad tidings of gender so it does a worker and
then Omar and then Earth man and each one is the same thing. And then what is the profitsystem said
to tell either be louder or whatever go tell the truth man that he will get gender after some
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:19
			problems he'll face in this world some issues he'll face but you'll then get to gender so again you
have this indication Oh Baka Omar Earth man all three one after the other. This Heidi this assign
Muslim is another prediction. And this is also when it is narrated that the process was sitting in
the well and he was sitting with his feet inside the well. aboubaker came Romar came and the wall is
now full. So Earth man could not find place to sit on the well he sat behind them. Okay, so once
again, there's an indication that the time of glory really will be obachan or Omar's time or with
mine will have some issues which is what happened his time of the fitna and the beginnings of the
		
00:21:19 --> 00:22:04
			fitna in his time, and we also have the Hadith and Sunnah Aveda would wear the prophecies and after
fudger, he would ask the Sahaba Have any of you seen any dream? So one of the Sahaba said I saw a
dream last night. He said, and this is a dream from a Sahabi not a dream from the processor. But the
fact that it was said to the prophet SAW said Him in His presence and he was silent indicates that
this is a dream from Allah because I clear because a part of the Hadith and a part of the Sunnah is
whatever is said to the process, and we're done in his presence, it automatically gets becomes a
hadith as long as he's quiet about it. So the Sahaba said that I saw a dream that a meze on the
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:13
			scale came down from the heavens. And you your rasulillah were weighed against abubaker and you were
heavier than obika.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			Then abubaker was weighed against Omar
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			and aboubaker was heavier than normal.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:26
			Then Omar was weighed against rathmann and Omar was heavier than Earth man, then the meezan was
lifted up.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:56
			Now this Hadeeth once again indicates specific 30 specific order Oba Coronavirus, ma, and that is
exactly what happened. So this is also a prediction. And all of these are indirect indications. And
of course, for a hallucinogenic for Sunni Islam, the strongest indication that Abu Bakar should be
the halifa is in fact, what?
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:15
			The Salah that the process them commanded him to lead when he was sick, For how many days remind me
how many days three days and nights when the process was alive. On his deathbed, what got us to do
was commanded to lead the Salah. And
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:39
			so much so that when Omar was the first time came, the prophet SAW sent him on his deathbed
sweating, feverish, barely conscious in and out of consciousness. He became irritated with it and
others and he said, Stop him and get a boubakeur for Allah and His messenger will not allow anybody
other than abubaker.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:24:19
			This is a very strict This is not just who's going to be the Mr. Because had that been the case,
what's wrong with anybody leading, but there's an indication wanting to be given, I want to
demonstrate for you something and that is who is going to be in charge after me. And the Hadith is
very expensive for Yeah, but Allahu wa Sulu Illa Baka. Allah and His Messenger refuse to have
anybody stand there other than abubaker. So far as we know, he had to break the sutra because the
process of commanded it and a worker has to be called. And then a worker leaves the Salah for three
days and nights. And as well, in the last hope that he gave solo I said, I'm sitting on the member,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:59
			what did he say close all of the doors of the masjid other than the door over the how how is the the
the narrow alleyways that would come in, as I told you many times and I showed it shows you the
diagram on the on the TV screen that the massage and the houses were connected with the small
alleyway and whatnot. And those habit that had built their houses around the mixture, there's direct
access to the masjid. And at the death of the processor he commanded. That's it. No more direct
access you enter with the common door. Those of you whose houses are next entering the common door,
except one man gets the blessing to enter from his house straight to the masjid. And that is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:31
			Obamacare has to do. And this is the last holdover that he gave on the member sitting down, he
couldn't stand up, and in that hope, but he said that a person has been given the choice between
this world and the next right, that's the hook better in that hood. But he mentioned close all doors
other than Obama. So we have so many evidences that have occurred. So therefore the Allahu anhu was
the one whom the prophet SAW sent him one to two. Now the question arises, why didn't then the
process of simply say,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:50
			when I die, America should be the halifa. And to this, there are many responses the strongest one
and Allah knows best is he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not want to open the precedent or the
door that every halifa must decide the next Khalifa.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:26:03
			He didn't want to have this as the political philosophy is open. If the halifa wants to decide it is
allowed. But if the profitsystem had done, it would have become wajib.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:15
			And that is why if you look at the four hola for each one of them, did something different. Abu
Bakar specified, the next person is going to be a rumor. But Abu Bakar doing it doesn't make it
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:22
			or Omar specified a group. These are six people choose amongst them.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:43
			Correct. Rosemont are the Allahu anhu. Nothing happened. He didn't specify anybody. There was a bit
of a chaos. The people that chose Ali rhodiola one, right, so each one of them did something
different. And the shediac allows for all of this. And the one that is the
		
00:26:44 --> 00:27:24
			least encouraged is to specify your son. This is not encouraged at all. It does not invalidate the
caliphate as some extreme people say, if that were the case, then we would never have had a
caliphate since the time of the bus's, which means we only had a caliphate for 30 years. Nobody
would sense on his mind says that, but it is not ideal. And it is definitely not the best. And while
we are the Allahu anhu for a Muslim that he saw, for he had that he saw he thought it was best to
nominate his son. And so the last of the Sahaba who was the halifa? And that's why we opened this
door. And where are we as blessing is not like the blessing of Abu Bakar. And is he had is not like
		
00:27:24 --> 00:28:08
			the estaba boubakeur. Yes, it is Helen. Yes, it is. It is but it is definitely not the best to do.
And so Allah allowed the last of the Sahaba, who was the halifa to open this door to indicate that
it's not invalid if there's a dynasty, and the majority of the oma has been upon a dynasty, but the
ideal which is a record amount of man, and it each one was done in a different manner. But the
prophet system did not want to open this door. He wanted to leave it open. And therefore, he
indicated without specifying, right, without being too verbal. This is the what the wisdom that most
of our scholars say. In any case, returning back to our story after this long introduction, what
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:13
			exactly happened on that day? So remind me again, when did the process and pass away?
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:15
			Monday?
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			Morning? Very good. date?
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:21
			Last
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			1212, rubella?
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:40
			If not, I thought you said last Okay, it's not actually below 1213 hour. So he passed away on a
Monday, early morning after fudger prayer early morning on the 12th of Roby. And
		
00:28:44 --> 00:29:32
			that I do not know actually, I'll have to look that up I do not know I will have to look up other
sources. So on the morning of the 12th within a few hours, the same day on Monday, the unsought
began began to gather at their usual gathering place. What was their usual gathering place, the
usual gathering place was a type of shack a type of if you like a shed, and that in Arabic was
called Soccer, FIFA Soccer, FIFA is a covering or a shed something that's just covering up and this
shed or this subwoofer was in a garden, and the garden belong to the most famous of the hazardous
tribes, which is the Buu saga, which is what sadly been obata belong to. And this was the the usual
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:59
			gathering place from the days of Jerry Lee from before Islam. They had a gathering place, you know,
it was the culture of the Arabs, that there's a gathering place. So within a few hours of the depth
of the process and everybody's coming and the Ansel began to gather and of course the conversation
gets to what's going to happen now. It is very important to note the unsolved did not send an
announcement. Come let us discuss the hill alpha. No. Rather it's human nature.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:41
			There are times of a joint calamity, right? You want to go and meet at times of individual calamity.
You go and meet the person, somebody relative dies, you go and meet that person, or you go, you go
to the family and a joint calamity, something of this nature, you want to find out what's happening,
you go and talk. So it's human nature. And especially in that culture, that when anything major
happened, the man would go to these types of these types of gatherings. So the answer all began to
trickle in, to the sort of banal side and of course, Bernie Sanders is well known in Medina, I have
shown it to all the time we have gone for ombre, it is on the back of the message of the neverwet.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:31:24
			If you're facing the Qibla, on the back, right hand side, there is still an actual garden. Right?
The Northwestern side, it is still an actual garden. And that garden is the safe side, it is still
there to this day. And you can see it clearly when we stayed in the groups that we go with. And you
need to go in our group in Charlotte this year. When we go in our groups, we always stay in the
hotel right behind the sofa, all of the blocks of hotels, right it is on the back side. And the
rightmost hotel, when you exit, you will find the garden in front of you. That is the safer side. So
the unsolved began to get in again, I want to point out, there is no maliciousness that let us talk
		
00:31:24 --> 00:32:08
			about the kidnapper. But what is going to happen when all of the men are gathered, and the process
has passed away. Eventually the conversation gets to what's going to happen now, who's going to take
charge because everybody understands, you need a leader, you cannot live without a leader. You need
somebody in charge. And so eventually, this conversation ensues. And the main person that they
looked up to and whose name continually came up was their senior most finger at the time. And that
is sad, even robota. sized Ivanova was the senior most leader of the huzar Raj. And of course the
has Raj and the house, the two of the unsightly tribes. The has Raj were the larger of the two.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:27
			Remember, I had said this I think two or three years ago, so I'm sure all of you remember everything
I've ever said so no problem. Mashallah. So the 100 Raj was the larger of the two tribes, okay. And
which, which was the richer of the two, the most was the richer of the two, but the hazard was the
larger of the two. So quantity counts here. And so
		
00:32:28 --> 00:33:09
			amongst the hazards, another blessing the hazard had was that the hustler joy, the ones who first
embraced Islam and then the most embraced Islam. So the first day at Aqaba, the first group who
converted when the processing gave that work, excuse me, the first group, remember the process and
pass them by and he said which tribe were you? They said, The has Raj. There was no O's in the first
Congress from Medina. So because of this, the quantity and the earliness so the husbands have an
upgrade status. Therefore, the husbands began talking amongst themselves and sad even obata his name
was basically understood that he is our leader, if anybody's going to be a leader from the unsought
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:38
			is going to be sad, even robota. Now, pause here, who is it that we need to understand before we
move on? Firstly, remember that there are two famous sides of the unsought two famous sides of the
unsought side they've been wired and side they've been bad. And of the two side even more odd is
much higher in delta. Then side they've been Roboto and the both of them are blessed. But of the two
sides even more ad is much higher.
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:45
			Not only did he convert first, so they've been while he was the one who
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:52
			spoke at the Battle of butter, which was one of the greatest blessings of any unsavoury.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:34:09
			Who was the Ansari who upgraded the pledge from mere protection to offensive fighting. That is sad,
even robot suicide have been wired. Excuse me, the other side, not our side.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:45
			Are you guys remembering what happened at but you all remember what happened at butter, right? When
the processor never said, What do you guys think? And I will but Chris stood up and stood up,
everybody stood he kept on saying what do you guys think? What do you guys think? Until finally sad.
Even more? Not nobody stood up and said, perhaps you're wanting to know our answer. That's why you
keep on asking you have a suit of law. He said yes, that is it. So then he gave that beautiful
eloquent speech, which concluded in go charge in the water. Yeah. rasulillah we will charge behind
you. And we will not say to you like the bunny astray said to Moosa go and fight you and your Lord.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:54
			No, we will say go and fight. Join your Lord and we are right behind you fighting along with you.
That is sad even more as and when did he die
		
00:34:56 --> 00:35:00
			after the Battle of the conduct, and the
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:43
			When he passed away the Prophet system said, the throne of Allah shook at the death of side they've
been wired. The process of them said 70,000 angels came to take the soul of side even more eyes and
the process of himself pray janaza fourside have been wired and expressed a lot of dismay and regret
at his at his death. That is sad even more alive. And he is of course no longer alive has gone into
zero. Okay, side they've been Obeida was the second of the two sides. And this is the one we are
talking about now. And sad. Ivanova also has a long list of resume of great things, but not like
side by side devinwatson. Even Wilder is the result much higher side David Rather, he was of those
		
00:35:43 --> 00:36:26
			who participated in the second treaty of Aqaba, not the first by the way, the second, the second
treaty of Aqaba, the Secretary which had 72, right. And he was one of those who was chosen to
represent his sub tribe. So he's one of the 12 know about who are the chosen. So sadly, bin Avada is
therefore one of the elite of Africa. And he participated in every single battle from birth. And so
he's a buddy, so automatically when you're a bundler, you get a huge upgrade. So sad the robot is
from the brother. He was also of the wealthier of the unsought because of his father and
grandfather. They were somewhat chieftain statuses, and so he has inherited money and inherited
		
00:36:26 --> 00:37:05
			generosity as well. Both his father and grandfather in the days of jelenia. were known for their
hospitality, and he inherited this from them. It is said that he would regularly feed most of the
people of the sofa. Even hedger mentions that on days when somebody would take one or two or three
sides, Ivanova would take 80 of the people of the sofa, to his house to feed them society. Nobody
was over those who had huge heart, very generous person always feeding the poor, and many are the
things narrated about him in the famous Hadith when the process then came to the house of sad even
roba. So this shows you his status, that the process and for some reason, he wants to speak about
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:47
			the huzar something he goes to the house of sight even robot and from outside of the house. He says
Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu. That's what you do. There is no ringer there is no
bell. How do you say a Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. So sad. is so happy to hear that.
He whispers back. Why do you call musala? Very whispering. Right. And the process of is outside he
doesn't hear. So he raises his voice for the second time and he says it and sad. whispers back then
the process of raising his voice and for the third time and sad whispers back. What are you supposed
to do after the third time? Leave? So the process of left one side the heard the footsteps he goes
		
00:37:47 --> 00:38:26
			running outside he says Yasuda law. I heard you the first and second and third time and I responded
to you, but I wanted to hear your daughter's over and over again. So assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah
wa barakato. When the process of missing a Santa Monica, you want more? Okay, so sad one to two here
the setups. So he keeps on saying, I responded to sutala but not that loud, so that you know, you
can keep on giving it to me, right? He didn't say like that. But you get the point that he said,
Yeah, absolutely. I heard you outside. I responded, but, you know, come in. So this has sadly been
robot decided they've been Avada. And also, we also have a number of ahaadeeth that have been abuzz,
		
00:38:26 --> 00:39:15
			for example, mentions that whenever the prophet SAW I sent him gave the flag to any, in any army, he
would always choose sight, even obata to carry the flags for the unsought and therefore, even in the
conquest of Mecca, sad even Obama was the one carrying the flag for the unsought. So he himself was
representing the unsought in front of the profitsystem. So the flag of the unsought was given to him
by the hands of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also, we have other Hadith where the process
of specifically mentioned by name, may Allah bless the unsought and especially May Allah bless sadly
bitter about it from the inside. So sadly been obata definitely, he has a long resume of blessings
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:51
			and whatnot. And therefore it's understood that even the unsaved recognize who is sad, even robota.
So going back to our story, therefore, when the new spreads that people are gathering together,
somebody comes and abubaker an omelet are still in the masjid, this is now we don't know the exact
timing we're assuming this is now before the lower time because the process and passes away early
morning, maybe seven o'clock eight o'clock very early morning. We don't know exactly when but in a
few hours, the news spreads I will Buchan and Omar are in the main Masjid and somebody comes and
tells them that Do you know that the unsought are gathering together and they are talking about the
		
00:39:51 --> 00:40:00
			conversation has now gone to basically who is going to take charge. So, Omar said Let us go to our
brethren from the unsought and discuss this
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:05
			matter with them, let us go and discuss this matter with them. And of course, our bucket agreed.
Now,
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			here is where
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:34
			we don't have any eyewitness report other than one. And that is from Omar the love language himself.
And therefore, there are many other details that nobody will ever tell us. We don't know what the
details are. We only have one eyewitness who told us what happened and that is himself. It is not at
all unlikely that the Prophet that sorry that a worker
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:48
			went and chose a number of people to accompany him. We don't know this. All we know is a group of
them Mahajan. But who, how did they come about? How did that particular group come?
		
00:40:49 --> 00:41:26
			I would theorize and Allah knows best that abubaker has to do chose the right group to go with him.
Because it's not a coincidence, in my humble opinion, that unwearable, hottub and abort obey the
Ombudsman Jarrah just happened to be sitting, and three of the National mubasher are right there in
that gathering, rather, Abu Bakar must have chosen the delegation. And the senior most members are,
of course, our Modus hatami himself and aborto VEDA and JIRA. Now, as for the issue of ID and
Zubaydah, blah, blah, and others.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:42:12
			From our perspective, Sunni perspective, the profitsystem has just passed away. And clearly,
somebody has to take charge of the inner household mattress, and of consoling the family and
household and, and there is no doubt that Alia the loved one who is the person who is the most
closest to the process of in terms of blood and lineage from the men site. And there's nothing about
that, that we have to be at all awkward or embarrassed. But of course, he's going to take charge of
taking care of the inner matters of the household of the process of, of the hustle of and so I bust
an alley, the uncle and the cousin of the son in law, these are the two who took charge of them
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:51
			inner matters. And that's understood. And it's debatable that one as well is of the cousins of the
Sahaba. So this is understood also from our perspective, and just a little bit and again, this is a
very deep thing. And I don't personally see the point in going into a lot of detail. These
controversies between the Sunni and the Shia, have existed for 13 and a half centuries, and nothing
I will say today will add or decrease these facts. And if anybody wants to study them, believe me,
hundreds of books in every language imaginable has been written the evidences for the Sunni, the
evidences for the Shia, back and forth each and everything on and on and on. And we can't reinvent
		
00:42:51 --> 00:43:14
			the wheel. This is all there. And I don't see much benefit in continually talking about this. But we
certainly should know our history, just like they know their history, we should also know our
history, from our perspective, our little the Allahu anhu, is now barely 30 years old, in his early
30s, and abubaker, and Omar, and Rosemont, even are almost double his age.
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:57
			And it really does not make sense to take somebody with some experience at the expense of somebody
who has three, four decades of experience. In other words, from our perspective, are they not the
Allahu anhu became the halifa when he deserved to be the halifa when he came to the right age, and
the maturity and whatnot. And that's when he became the califa. At this stage and age, it was not
even on their radar, that somebody so young, and remember, what got us to the UK and others, they
have known it since he was a child and a baby. And it is human nature that when somebody is that
young, and you've grown up with him, they're not going to be on the radar at this stage. Not only
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:37
			that there has been the tragedy of the death of the processor when they're busy. So it's not as if
there's an intentional conspiracy. From our perspective, it is ludicrous to assume there's a
conspiracy, there is no conspiracy, or I'm sorry, I do the law one became the halifa when he
deserved to be the halifa. And that was when he came to that right age of majority one obachan on
earth man have have moved on. And then it was his turn, and we admire and respect every blessing
about him. In any case, back to our story. I said it is not unrealistic to theorize that I will work
on a study I went and chose the right people for the delegation who is going to go and talk about
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:59
			this issue. And on the way to the suffer. They met two of the unsolved and when these unsolved is
found out where they were going to express some wordiness and they said maybe you shouldn't go it's
best not to go there worried maybe there's gonna be a shouting match. There is no worry of physical
violence because that's not happened in the time of the Sahaba. But Omar said no inshallah, we will
go and there will be many
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:27
			In our going, so, Omar continued on and remember this is the only narration we have is from Omar
himself on what is the only one who narrated the first person he's there he witnesses it.
Unfortunately, we don't have any other narrations or else we could have had a lot more details and
aroma narrated, I began his narration directly. He said when we got there, we found the unsought had
gathered in the South Africa. And between them was a man wrapped up in a shawl.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:52
			We said Who is this? They said, this is sad. Ivanova, he is sick with fever. So it just so happened
that he was sick. So therefore, he's wrapped up and shivering and whatnot. So he had a fever, it was
just under a lot was at the time, he had a fever. So after we had arrived, the delegation has
arrived, you know, the the trivial formalities are done, then one of the Ansari stood up.
		
00:45:53 --> 00:46:20
			And he said after praising Allah, as to what follows. So we are the unsubtle law on sobre la, the
helpers of Allah. And we are the vanguard of Islam. We're the ones who defended Islam, and you are
group of Maha Joon, or a group amongst us. And you came to us, one by one bit by bit, and joined us.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:38
			Meaning in a very polite manner. Very nice manner. There's no, in back and forth, there's no
derogatory terms, but each group feels at this time more qualified. So the unsought are saying, in
terms of sheer quantity, you guys are miniscule.
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:43
			The unsought are probably probably two 3000.
		
00:46:44 --> 00:47:24
			These are like the elite senior as for beyond the much more than this, and the more hide your own
are probably to 300. Because again, I mean, who's gonna we're talking about them? Well, hi, Julian
from pre conquest, obviously, right after conquest, what No, there is no so pre conquest those who
are like the the senior of the of the kurush, probably one 10th of the unsolved. So the unsolved
from their perspective, from their perspective, they're saying, I mean, we are so large, you guys
came one after the other? Because how did the margarine come? 123. And then slowly you guys came. So
it's pretty obvious that because we're so many, we should be the leader, and you are just one home
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:46
			from amongst us, you would like one minute drive from almost all of us. So they're looking at it
from their perspective. And there's an element of truth from their perspective. So when he's
speaking like this, Omar says, so as he was speaking, I thought to myself, What would I say, for the
world to kind of see calaman I'm thinking to myself, what are my points I'm going to say,
		
00:47:47 --> 00:48:08
			and when he fell silent, I was happy that I have all of my points listed. Colossians is speech ready
now. Okay. And I was gonna say something, and I knew it would be a little bit harsh. And I knew a
worker would find my statements a little bit harsh. When I was about to stand up. A worker pulled me
down.
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:30
			And he said, stay put, or Omar aleris, slick, stay put, or Omar. So Omar says, so I was scared to
make him angry. So this is Omar, the only person that Omar is not wanting to make angry. So I
listened to him, because I didn't want to make obika angry, then Abu Bakar stood up.
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:44
			And he praised Allah subhanho wa Taala and gave a lecture and Armada saying by a law, he was wiser
and more gentle than I would have been.
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:52
			And there was not a single point that I had in my mind. Except that aboubaker said it or better than
it.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:49:00
			Notice here or most humility, Omar is narrating this in his own head, ah, by the way,
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:09
			when a walker has passed away, almost telling us the story as a longer event, which I don't have
time to tell you. But basically, very quickly,
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:33
			rumors began to spread in the time of our model deola, one that will buckers khilafah was simply a
coincidence, it just happened, that it wasn't thought out. And that if we had thought it out,
somebody else should have been the halifa other than him. When Omar heard this, he became angry. He
became incensed. And he called the meeting of all of the Sahaba.
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:57
			And then he told the story. So this story is what I'm narrating to you. Okay. So this is the first
person now he's telling them. So he's praising Abu Bakar in this manner, that no matter what I had,
in my mind, a worker had something better than me. And he said every point that I had, and he said,
Every Hadith that we had heard about the praise of the onslaught
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			and of what he said was
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:22
			That the process that I've said, that sort of occurred is saying that, and I know for a fact that
the Prophet system said, if all of mankind took one path and the answer took the other path, I would
follow the path of the unsought. So he is going on and on about the blessings of the unsolved look
at the wisdom of avoca. You don't begin the speech by putting somebody down.
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:58
			You want to impress somebody, you want to change their mind. Well, then you show them you respect
them for who they are. This is the wisdom of Obama. And perhaps if Obama had done it, he would not
have done all of this. He Himself said that I had some harshness, and I knew a worker would find my
speech harsh. I knew that would happen, but he never spoke, because Allah willed him not to speak.
So I will Barker begins by praising the onslaught, every idea he can think of about praising the
unsought. Then he moves on. And he says, And oh, sad. So he points director said,
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:07
			I know that you were sitting right in front of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he
himself said,
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:13
			it is the Quraysh, who shall lead this matter of hours,
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:23
			the righteous amongst them shall lead the righteous of mankind, and the Empires shall lead the
empires of mankind. So he quoted a hadith
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:29
			that the Prophet system is saying, the leaders shall be from the aurash.
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:54
			And he pointed to sad, who is the one contender, the one person that might people might, and he
says, oh, sad. You remember that day when he said, The hidey hole right there, I was there. And this
is so beautiful. Because by pointing two sides, and then according to Heidi, and then saying, we
were both there that day, how then can anybody go against this?
		
00:51:56 --> 00:52:42
			So he mentions a hadith that kind of solves the matter, it can't be from the unsought, then he
gives, so after Howdy, he then brings logic, and he says, and, you know, alongside, that the Arabs
will not follow anybody other than the Kurdish, meaning their jelly is still there in that regard.
And you own saw, you're not going to be accepted by the rest of the Arabs, whereas the quraishi,
they will accept him, because they are the best of the Arabs in lineage and in house meaning in
lineage meaning in terms of shutoff they are the most honorable, and that is a generally and in
terms of house meaning Makkah. They have the most noble list of houses meaning Mecca, and therefore,
		
00:52:43 --> 00:53:00
			the leaders should be from the aurash at this sad said, So, Doctor, you have spoken the truth, you
are the leaders, and we are the helpers. And tomorrow O'Meara why not loser, ah, so sad. And this
shows his demand by the way.
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:42
			This shows is a man that when the evidence is presented, how abouts you're right i can i How can you
argue with the head, so you are the leaders, we are the helpers. So doctor, you are the O'Meara You
are the wizard, then I will back out of the Allahu anhu held on to the hands of Roma and abort
Aveda. And here is my point here, and that is that Abu Bakar acidic clearly was planning this out to
nominate these two is not just a coincidence that it's so happened that these two people sitting
next to him know, a worker. So they wanted these two people to be next to him. And he brought them
with him to the sacrifice of a worker in his modesty did not want to be the holiday for he did not
		
00:53:42 --> 00:54:09
			want to nominate himself. That's not the appropriate way. But he has in mind the next two best
people and of the next two best people, and that's of the Ashura mubasher of the 10 who have been
promised gentlemen. So he picks up the hand of Omar and he picks up the handle about Aveda American
Jarrah. And he said, I have nominated these two, whichever of these two you like, choose him. And
this is also hikma. Because when you give somebody an option,
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:53
			it makes it easier for him to choose, even though before you gave him the option, he wouldn't have
chosen either of them. In other words, the unsought they weren't thinking of the whorish they were
thinking of themselves. And a worker did not say, oh, here's Omar give him because then they would
feel they have to, rather he opens up the door. He says, you guys choose between these two matters.
Okay. And this is again, I mean, it will lie we find here wisdom of a leader will find your true
psychology of leadership and our brokenness that Allah blessed him with to understand how to control
an oma that without any tension, nothing is actually you know, misafirler there's no battletech
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:59
			there's no swords being drawn, but still humans are humans and the Sahaba the Sahaba and power is
power.
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:13
			We say and there is no harm in saying this. Yes, indeed, some of them might have desire this for
halal reasons, you think you will do good for the home. This is no no doubt about it. But
		
00:55:15 --> 00:56:01
			who is the one who really should be chosen in this case, it is the one whom Allah azza wa jal
desired, and that is a worker. And so when he said this, pub is narrating the story, and he said,
that I swear by Allah, this was the only paragraph Alo Booker speech that I hated, that he nominated
me and aboral VEDA, and he said, it would be more beloved to me to be executed. As long as there was
no sin involved that I had done, then to lead a group, or be a halifa of a group in which abubaker
was present. In other words, I'd rather die than be in charge of a worker, I'm not qualified to do
that. This is Omar speaking in his enough to a group of people who said maybe Obama wasn't the best,
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:19
			maybe somebody else would have been the halifa. Or Omar is saying, I would rather have my head
chopped off, then be the halifa over Abu Bakar. So this is Romer is fixing this in his own khilafah.
So when a worker said this statement that choose one of these two,
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:32
			one of the unsolved one of the unsolved then said, I have a solution, I will give you another
solution. Why don't we have two Amir's one from us and one from you?
		
00:56:33 --> 00:57:17
			Mina, Amir woman, come me. Okay, so we're both going to be happy. But of course, you can't have two
drivers and do captains on a ship. And so when he suggested this, a lot of lot or raising of the
voices, you know, what happens when you're in any gathering, obviously, what happens? Somebody says
this, somebody says that, and so it's all chaos and confusion. And at this, Omar said, so I raised
my voice when everybody's voice is being raised, or Omar has the loudest voice, and the deepest
voice, and he says, Oh, I will buck or stretch forth your hand. And I will back her put his hand
forward. And Omar then said, We shall give the VR to you. And so Rama was the first person to
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:57
			nominate aboubaker and then give the baotou, a vaca sudip. And then the Mahajan and the unsought
followed. And therefore, this was how the matter was done. And there are and I have to be again,
part of part of my job, in this series of lectures is to also tell you that which you might not have
heard or that which might not be the rosy side of the picture. And I do this because you are aware,
and there are plenty of narrations in various books that sad, even Obama was not satisfied with this
matter. According to some reports, he said that you guys have forced me to do this.
		
00:57:58 --> 00:58:10
			And the response was given to him, it is better that you are forced to remain with the GMR then we
let you go and you cause felco. And if this report is authentic, there's nothing wrong with that.
		
00:58:11 --> 00:58:58
			Because it is not how long to have these types of feelings and emotions to desire certain things
that are not held on to desire, you can desire, fame and money for health reasons. And if sad, even
Obama wanted to be the halifa he wanted it for good reasons. So there's nothing wrong with this. He
thought he would do a good and better job that is his prerogative. Now, this is one report. Others
that they they say all of these reports are baseless, and they're just fabrications. So that is also
an opinion out there. Then there are clear cut fabrications, we typically find them in pro sheet
resources. Okay, so there are historians that are Sherry in nature or quoting Sherry, narrator's
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:06
			such as Bella Zhu Li, such as the narrator, I will make fun of leukopenia here, this narrator
		
00:59:07 --> 00:59:37
			is the one who by the way, when we talked about when we talked about Karbala, the first Shiri author
to ever write about Karbala was a woman of Lithuania. And he wrote a book about McDowell Hussein.
And that book is the basis of all of the Shiri narratives about what happened in Karbala. So this
same guy I will mention of Lithuania, whom we as soon as do not trust at all. I mean for us, he is a
Zapier and he says nothing is just nothing to do with history for us. He's just a
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:59
			person who fabricates from his perspective, but he has an aberration which is a clear cut
fabrication. We don't accept it at all. I'm only telling it to you. So you know if you hear it,
where does it come from? According to him, sad Eben Obadiah. Refuse to pray in the gym or pray
behind aboubaker refuse to go for Hajj refused
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:40
			To participate in anything, and this is clear cut fabrication in our Sunni sources, we find minor
disapproval. For example, He says, you guys forced me. And then the response is to force you to to
join is better than letting you go. This is we know it's within the acceptable parameters. Okay? And
some have said, even this is not there. And there are other references. And this is from our own
Sunni tradition. So I'm just telling you to so you know, there are also references that when a
walker passed away, then Omar became the halifa. So, again, sad felt that maybe it was more
deserving. And so eventually, he decided to leave Medina, rather than cause the fitna or whatnot. He
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:53
			just decided to go and live a separate life. And this is one interpretation. The other
interpretation is, he went for Jihad and he died outside of Medina because of jihad. In any case,
the point is that sad even robota
		
01:00:54 --> 01:01:18
			does not really have much of a mention after this incident, he does pass away in the Concord Sham
area, he goes in he dies in Sham. And there are also by the way, legends of side they've been
robota, which is one of the most bizarre legends of our traditions. And these are legends These are
not the Hadeeth these are not authentic narrations. These are simply found in the books that the
jinn killed, sad even or bad.
		
01:01:20 --> 01:01:31
			Okay, this is a famous thing, that who amongst the Sahaba, was killed by the jinn? And this is a
quiz question asked many times. And the response has sadly been robota because he was discovered
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:40
			in his house, basically with an arrow and they say a voice was heard that the jinn were boasting
that we have killed sad urban robot.
		
01:01:42 --> 01:02:15
			This is one of those bizarre things as we said, it's a legend. And I don't see the need to have it
happen and happen if it didn't have it didn't happen. Our religion is not based upon this analyzer
widget knows best. In any case, even robot that passed away within two, three years in the 14th year
of the hedgerow, or some say the early part of the 15th year of the Hydra side, but passes away
Also, before we move on very quickly, inshallah we'll finish around five minutes before we move on
as well. I mentioned that Obama quoted the head is that the Hollywood will be from the koresh, this
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:34
			command from the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is in fact mutawatir ie dozens of a hadith reported and
we find reports inside bodies I muslima. without me even imagine every single book of Hadith. So
much urban Hydra says I found over 40 narrations
		
01:02:35 --> 01:03:05
			of different wordings, all of which mentioned a moment koresh or anass, whatever, and the college we
had an hour basically, so many a hadith that mentioned the leaders of my own must be from the Quran.
Now, this, this hadith and these commands, always raise a lot of eyebrows in many Muslims. And they
say what, why? And their response to this as well, frankly, maybe we can't answer why the process
Some said it, end of story.
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:10
			That's really the best way to say that, okay, how's the process have said it.
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:21
			And some scholars have given reasons why. But in any case, the sheer quantity of a hadith in this
regard, one cannot negate them, and therefore,
		
01:03:22 --> 01:04:04
			Sunni and Shia Islam, one of the things we actually agree about, is that in order to encourage
except that the Shia say not just any quarter she only lol bait, but to suddenly say any hora de ne
Hiroshi The only people who oppose this with a high wattage and the martyr Zilla. As for Allison,
and even the Shia, they said the leaders have to be from the tribe of kurush. As for the Shia, they
said, not only from others, but from only from a little bit. Okay, so from our perspective, and this
is something all of those who wrote in Islamic political science, like what are the and like others
of the classical tradition about the lady who has a little section about political sciences in his
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:24
			book. So all of these great authors, they all mentioned in hedger, they all mentioned that our
leaders should be from the crush. And of course, for the bulk of our oma, that has been the case.
The oma is a quarter sheet. The Ibis is our oroshi it was only in the time of the Ottomans where
this was taken away. And
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:57
			there's another question What if he's not from the forest? Does that negate his Caliphate? Or does
it simply mean his Caliphate is missing something but it doesn't negate it? The majority of people
said, it doesn't negate his caliphate. So the Ottoman Caliphate is valid. But it's better to have
that if we if you had the option to choose, then you should choose the person who has this noble
lineage. In any case, frankly, there's no explanation other than the process and commanded it and so
be it and then we conclude with
		
01:04:58 --> 01:05:00
			what happened on
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:43
			The next day, and that is on the Tuesday on the 13th. There'll be an hour. So, on the Monday, within
hours of the death of the Prophet sallallahu, I send them I will bucker has now been decided amongst
the senior high gentlemen, and amongst the senior on sock, he has been decided. And this shows us
the severity of the matter, that barely a few hours after the death of the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, the Sahaba have decided who shall be their leader. And now the new spreads, and that people
are told come and show up on Tuesday to give you a bay after obaku to do so, after the morning
prayer on Tuesday, so barely 24 hours after the death of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, the Sahaba
		
01:05:43 --> 01:06:19
			gathered in the masjid and the process of his body is still in the house of Arusha. He has not yet
been buried. He has not yet been buried, and aboubaker comes and sits on the member. And this is
most likely before a lot of work, most likely before it's allowed to vote. So the people have come
in the daytime, and they're waiting there. And Omar stands up and he introduces a worker and he
basically says that oh people. What I said yesterday, was something from me. Neither did I find it
in the book of a law, nor did the process and tell me about it. Anybody remember what did you say
yesterday?
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:27
			So what did Omar say?
		
01:06:32 --> 01:06:34
			So what did Omar say? Where did the pacifism go?
		
01:06:36 --> 01:06:47
			He's not dead. He's speaking with a lie. He's gonna come back. Okay, so now Omar wants to make up
for what he said yesterday. Notice now, so he says what I said yesterday.
		
01:06:48 --> 01:07:29
			This is not something that I heard from the Prophet system, nor is it found in the Quran, I made a
mistake, basically, because they're trying to say, okay, that don't think that, you know, it was
basically from me. And he said, I thought that the Prophet system would not leave us until
everything was over. And he would be the last of us to go, meaning we'd all die before him. This is
what his thought. So Omar is saying, I thought we would all be gone before him, it never occurred to
me, he would die before us. But Allah has left you with his book, and in it is the son of the
Prophet salallahu alaihe salam, so hold on to it, and you shall be guided. And Allah has gathered
		
01:07:29 --> 01:08:13
			your affairs, and chosen the best of you, the Sahaba su de la, the 30th naini, with whom I feel or
the brother that is overcrowded, so do so stand up and give by to a worker. And therefore, everybody
stood in line and gave the oath of allegiance to Obama. So do one after the other, until when
everybody was done, our bucket then stood up, and he gave that three sentence hotel, which is one of
the most powerful hotel has ever given. In fact, no, I should say it is the most powerful hook ever
given by any political leader after the profits of the law instead of and all of us have heard it on
and off here. And there is just three lines and is something very beautiful. Obama said, Oh people,
		
01:08:13 --> 01:08:17
			I have been put in charge of you, even though I am not the best of you.
		
01:08:18 --> 01:09:02
			So if I do good, then help me. And if I do bad, then correct me. being truthful is the essence of
trustworthiness. And lying is treachery. And the weak amongst you is strong in my eyes until I
returned to him is right, meaning the weakest amongst you are the closest to me. Until whatever he
needs, he gets it. And the strongest amongst you is of least significance to me is the weakest in my
eye. In other words, don't be fooled by who's weak and strong for me, the weakest amongst you have
the most power for my time and attention. And the strongest amongst you are the ones who don't need
anything from me until I take the right from them for the poor. And never does a group leave
		
01:09:02 --> 01:09:44
			striving for the sake of a law, except that a law strikes them with humiliation and never does far
harsher lewdness and evil spread, except that Allah envelopes them with his punishment, obey me as
long as I obey Allah and His messenger. But if I disobey Allah and His Messenger, then I have no
right on you that you should obey me. That was his hook. But then he said, stand up and pray, may
Allah azzawajal Have mercy on you. That was the first holdover of avocados to do. And after he gave
us heartburn, that was when the body of the process of now being washed and prepared for burial.
After this, the discussion began where he should be buried. We talked about that already. After
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:59
			this, the people began to pray. We talked about that already. So all of the hidden issues have
already been done. within less than a day, everything is settled, and the matter has been decided.
And the people continue to pray continue to pray upon the purposes of body until
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:43
			Finally they began after the whole of Tuesday. And the sheer quantity of people continues. Now the
goal was to bury him that day. But the sheer quantity of people kept on kept on kept on until they
were forced to bury him late late night. We don't know exactly when. But once they had come, once
they had come, does this mean he was buried at Russia time at 12 o'clock? We don't know. But late
night, we would say Tuesday, which in the Muslim calendar is early Wednesday, right? Late Night
Tuesday, was when the processing was buried. And that is of course early Wednesday from the Islamic
perspective that and of course, he's buried in his house so you don't go there. There's no going
		
01:10:43 --> 01:10:54
			out, he's buried right then and there. And with this, we conclude the story of the election of
avocados. So these are the last one who and inshallah Tada. We will
		
01:10:56 --> 01:11:02
			continue inshallah, our series about the Sahaba on mahamuni. inshallah, with Allah next Wednesday,
one quick question, we don't want to
		
01:11:05 --> 01:11:08
			that was the one thing I was trying to avoid this entire.
		
01:11:11 --> 01:11:17
			This does not have a simplistic response. And I'm debating whether I should do this next Wednesday
or not.
		
01:11:18 --> 01:11:21
			The problem comes so let me let me tell you
		
01:11:23 --> 01:11:27
			a lot of you have been wanting me to do the whole Faraj you don't.
		
01:11:29 --> 01:11:38
			And I have not said yes, in fact, I am saying no. for one simple reason, while multiple but one
reason. And that is that
		
01:11:39 --> 01:11:43
			when we talk about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we have no problems,
		
01:11:45 --> 01:11:58
			reading everything in perfectly for him. Because he is Rasulullah. So I said him, whenever he did,
halus, he did it. He is he is Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. But the Sahaba are not the prophets.
		
01:11:59 --> 01:12:05
			And the Sahaba are very human. And you already noticed in today's lecture, certain things here and
there that
		
01:12:06 --> 01:12:14
			perhaps to gloss over, it might even be better. And the Sahaba did have minor issues amongst
themselves and minor disputes, which is human nature.
		
01:12:15 --> 01:12:23
			And here's the point, we don't have to agree with every HD head of every Sahabi.
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:32
			Whereas we do have to agree with every inch, the height of the prophecies. So when you talk about
the Sahaba
		
01:12:33 --> 01:12:58
			and then you talk about what happened in their time and then especially especially Earth man, and
then especially ideas about the love and his time. And you talk about Safina and you talk about the
Battle of Jamal, wala he This causes doubts in the minds of the average Muslim. And the fact of the
matter is, nobody discusses these matters, except that your heart becomes hard rather than soft.
		
01:12:59 --> 01:13:08
			And it is better for the bulk of the oma to really not know too much about what's going on. Not
every knowledge is beneficial.
		
01:13:09 --> 01:13:24
			Not every knowledge is beneficial. These were times of fitna things happened, things were said
people lost their lives, people who we admire and respect we're fighting on both sides of the
spectrum. And we look up to the both of them,
		
01:13:25 --> 01:13:36
			which they had happened shavonne cause divisions to flare up. And I do not know of any scholar who
has talked about these matters, except that he himself has gotten into trouble.
		
01:13:37 --> 01:13:44
			Because you're never going to please everybody. Right? And the people that he's speaking to as well,
more questions are raised up.
		
01:13:45 --> 01:14:06
			So my philosophy about this issue is the philosophy Ma'am, I made him the humble who said when he
was asked about this fitna between the Sahaba he said, that was the time that Allah subhana wa tada
saved our swords from getting involved or you were weren't alive at the time. So let us save our
tongues from getting involved as well.
		
01:14:07 --> 01:14:48
			Meaning Let's just be quiet about it. It happened it happened. This just things move on. Let me give
you an example. You will not understand I know it's getting a little bit late. Let me give an
example in our own daily lives. You know, we all have our problems with our brothers, sisters,
parents, wives, spouses, you know, we have issues, fights, Spats, things go on hamdulillah things
patch up. Is it wise to go back to a fight you had with your brother, your sister, your wife and go
over each and every detail? Think about it. Something happened five years ago. Now it's gone.
hamdulillah you're now moving on? Is it wise to go back and say Oh, she said this. I said this. He
		
01:14:48 --> 01:14:59
			said this. What's going to be gained will lie is going to bring more painful memories. Hamas has
gone is gone. So for us, we respect the Sahaba more than we respect and he is better
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:18
			That we just let it go. It's better that we gloss it over and not going to the minute. He said that
she said that. And the other problem comments here is where the whole theological differences come
between Sunni and Shia. And you are not going to please even here's the problem. Even within Sunni
Islam, there is a spectrum.
		
01:15:20 --> 01:15:26
			There's a spectrum, especially when it comes to Maui or the Allahu anhu. Right? That
		
01:15:27 --> 01:16:14
			much is said, between minor criticism, some even harsh criticism, some even more than this right?
versus much praise and you're not going to please everybody here. And my position is the position of
majority of Arizona which is that while we are the Aloha Rhino is of the Sahaba and he is of the
minor. So However, he is not of the major Sahaba but he is so heavy, and what that means is we do
not criticize any Sahabi even if we disagree with an HD hat, we don't criticize his integrity, we
think that he meant the best for the oma and let it be, let it be shared with Allah subhana wa tada
and he is but all the Allahu anhu worldwide he is of those whom Allah is pleased with, not to the
		
01:16:14 --> 01:16:53
			level of the great 10 but he's still made it as a Sahabi young boy young man when he was 1819 but
he's also happy and Allah xojo will for him to be the founder of the one of the greatest dynasties
we have seen and that is your way of dynasty It is best to be quiet about any other issue. So I will
not be talking about the Sahaba in detail, at least in terms of avacado mode of mind it in that
manner. But I'm still thinking about what we should be doing afterwards and what meaning So, let me
think about that still, but inshallah Allah will begin inshallah next ones do get an email. What do
we decide to do? A lot of region knows best indicates it is late in Sharla. So let us stop for
		
01:16:53 --> 01:16:55
			selected Asia and we'll continue next Wednesday.
