			I said I'm only a couple $100. So that was Salam ala rasulillah. While early he was so happy he
woman what I'm about. So in our last lesson or two lessons, we've talked about the necessity of
sending prophets and messengers, and some of the roles and responsibilities of prophets and
messengers. Why does Allah sent ambia and Russell? And what does the Koran tell us about the
function of the Gambia and Russian? We're still doing our introductory series of lectures before we
jump into the actual topic of the actual profits. So today, we're going to get into our first really
technical issue and that is, what is a nebby and what is a rhassoul? And what is the difference
		

			between a newbie and they are sued. So today's topic is going to be relatively advanced one which is
about a technical issue, that the distinction between the MBR which is the plural of nebby, and the
Russell which is the plural of rhassoul. So let us begin with the linguistics. What do the words
nebby and rhassoul indicate in the Arabic language, the word nabee it comes as even Mambo, the
famous lexical lexicographer of the Arabic language, who wrote one of the most significant early
dictionaries Are you saying medieval dictionaries in Islam? It is called the sound louder, which is
considered to be the first primary reference of the Arabic language or the Arabic dictionary if
		

			you're like, he writes that the word and nebby it comes from Nebula known by wild Tamar, Buta
Nebula, which means nobility or a high place. Nebula is also used as a landmark that people will
will give you directions based upon Oh, that's something over there. So turn left over here, turn
right over there. So a nebula is something that is raised, something that is respected, something
that is used is a landmark. And from this, he said, The word nebby is very obvious because a nebby
is someone that is respected, that Allah has raised him high, and that he becomes a landmark and an
icon for the rest of humanity. So according to this interpretation, the word nebby comes from the
		

			concept of nevoie. And he also mentioned that there's another interpretation or another derivation,
and that is that the word nebby comes from nabba with the Hamza never so nevoie known but wow, Tamar
Buta and then another interpretation nebby comes from never known ba and Hamza, and the word never
means news. I met this afternoon and he never in alvim This is the number and Allah says no Koran
call en de Uyuni, Bellman say tell me in for me with knowledge and be Tony give me Never within. So
the word never means news or information. And so nabee is the the conjugative ferril. Find your
language is basically the formal structure if you know you're sorry for the Arabic language nebby is
		

			the firing of never. And so from this nebby would be the one who is informed and then informs
others. So nebby is informed by Allah, and then he informs others. So the information is two way. So
from this interpretation nebby is from knowledge and information. And from the first interpretation
nebby is from nobility and raise to raise up and to be a landmark. And in reality, both of these
meanings are complimentary, and they all apply to a newbie. So a nebby is someone whom Allah has
given information that nobody else has. And then a B then tells people this information, okay, and
an NB is also someone who is the most noble of humans, and an epi has been raised up by Allah and an
		

			A B becomes a landmark for the rest of mankind, someone that is an icon for the rest of mankind. So
this interpretation, or this if your explanation makes us understand, what is the linguistic
understanding of the word nebby as and by the way, the word nebby it is pronounced with the Hamza in
some in some karate, even when it is maybe even you add a Hamza and some say Nabina How can you make
the Hamza into a year and so on?
		

			Because some of the karats have nabby either. So it does seem to indicate that in fact, the word
nebby comes from never with a Hamza on it. And then the case the other interpretation is also valid.
As for the word Rasool, which is Allah was the or upon the structure of ferule. So nobody is farine
and Rasul is ferule. And by the way, both for either for all have the same connotation, it's just
depends on the verb on the actual verb, it goes back to the conjugations of the verb or the science
of solve. And so in reality, a semir under the hood for they're on the same meaning as far as for
who they mean the same thing. And that is that the one in whom the verb is manifested powerfully,
		

			okay, so a semi, the one who hears everything, I love a fool, the one who forgives everything so and
be the one who has so much information nobody else has, and our rosu the same connotation. So as I
said, For Rudin, Farrell, they have the same connotation is just that some verbs become upon the
conjugation of Farrell, and other verbs woke upon the conjugation of ferule depending on how the
Arabs did it all of this is a sort of lesson by the way, for those of you are studying soft, as for
the word Rasool it comes from Rasul Allah Rasul Allah. And this is a very interesting story of how
Rasul Allah came from its original meaning to imply what it finally implies. So the very origin of
		

			our Salah, the very base meaning of our Salah, meant in the very beginnings of Arabic language to
send of a large group to send smaller groups one after the other. Okay, this is what it meant way
back in the beginning of time, when the Arabs began speaking, the earliest records we have in poetry
that I said, that means to send in batches. And eventually, it became primarily to, to send small
groups of camels to get water. And then the connotation went on from moving small groups of camels
to letting loose and setting free and allowing to go to another location. And so the phrase was, the
Arabs would say, out of solo Ebola home, they let their camels go, Okay, so from sending it batches,
		

			it became sending them out for the water, and then it becames letting it grow and being free. And
this is why for example, the items will say that the hair of a lady is more self meaning is flowing
freely. Okay, so the connotation came to be going without any effort. And this is how our salad
eventually became to mean to send forth and then it meant to send forth with something with a
message. And so the term rissalah was then derived to indicate a message that is sent modern Arabs
use rissalah for a letter, okay, so when they say a letter, they say, the Salah, from the origin of
the connotation of letting the camels go into the water. And so our Salah nowadays now means to send
		

			unconditionally, and typically with something but not always with something I'm talking about purely
from a linguistic connotation, and it this is how it is used in the Quran that Allah azza wa jal
mentions that we are selling the Ria we have sent forth v winds, and Allah azza wa jal mentions that
he sends the angels and Allah even mentions, I hadn't thought of selling the shell Tina, we have let
loose the shell team. So all of this term out of Salah, it means to let go to let loose This is what
the term means. So Rasool, therefore, is someone who has been let loose or set by set forth by
someone with something. This is what Rasool actually means now in the classical Arabic language. So
		

			Rasool is someone who has been sent by somebody with some things, this is now the connotation that
the message has, and even ambari, one of the great early scholars of the Arabic language, he
actually derives an interesting point. And he says arasu is only called Rasool, if the person who is
sent the messenger will follow up on the delivery of the message, he's not just going to deliver and
then walk away, no, rather, he's going to deliver. And then if you want to put it in Simple English,
that as soon is the one who has been sent with a message and then actively engages in seeing what
happens to the message after it is delivered. He doesn't just deliver and walk away rather he is
		

			actively engaged in the delivery and continues to give the delivery and to monitor the delivery that
is one of those tools is called a rustle classically. So this is the connotation of the term or
school and the notion of continuity and going bit by bit by
		

			in multiple batches, this is actually mentioned in the Quran from Arsenal rusu Rana tetra that we
sent our profits continually batch by batch bit by bit and this goes back to the origin of the term
rhassoul. So rasuna is the one therefore, who has been sent with a message by someone of authority
because only somebody of authority will give you a message. And that assumes then monitors the
delivery of the message actively, and is engaged in seeing what happens to the message after it is
delivered. This is the linguistic meaning of our soul. And now we get from the linguistics. So we
see now the difference between nebby. And we see the difference between received from a linguistic
		

			perspective, we can say a nebby is someone who knows what the rest of mankind does not know. And he
then informs mankind of that knowledge. And they are assumed as someone who has been sent with a
message and he then engages in that message, this is from a purely linguistic standpoint. Now
remember these two, because we're going to go back to this linguistic notion at the end of our
lecture after we've done all of the opinions out there. Okay, now we move on. This is from a purely
linguistic standpoint, what do our odema of this religion? What do they say about the functional
differences between an abbey and arasu? Is there even a difference between the two of them, the vast
		

			majority of scholars of our tradition, they said that there is a difference between an abbey and
arasu. And they said this, for multiple reasons of them, is the the reality of the fact that two
separate words are used. And whenever we have two words, in the same language amongst the same group
of people, whenever we have two words, in the same language amongst the same sub group of people,
the reality is that those two words never mean the same thing. In other words, and this is a
linguistic point, absolute synonyms, according to the majority of linguist do not exist. You have
synonyms that overlap in reality, and people have tried to find, you know, examples of this in
		

			multiple languages. And maybe there is an example in some obscure language, but the default is that
there is no such thing as absolute synonyms because why would you have two words for the exact same
concept, in reality, you have a lot of times synonyms, that each one expresses a different nuance or
is used in a different context. And so there are plenty of synonyms in every single language in the
world. But to bring an example of two words that are spelled different, pronounced different, and
are used exactly the same, with every single connotation being the same, this is something that
linguists have struggled to provide examples of. And the default therefore, is that there is no such
		

			thing as absolute synonyms. And in fact, I cannot think of any such example in the or on what what
you do have are two words, each of which sometimes become synonymous, but at other times, they
become different. So for example, the cat and sadhaka. At times they overlap, but then at times,
they become different, for example, Islam and Eman or Mothman. And Muslim, these times they overlap
and at times, they become different because it as we said, If two words that are different in sound,
and in spelling were exactly the same. It defeats the purpose of having two words, why would you
have two words, so the very fact that there's something called the Navy and there's something called
		

			the resume indicates that they are not the same concept and the same connotation. Now that's one one
reason why they'd be undersold cannot be the exact same thing. Another reason that is given is that
the Quran and Sunnah clearly seem to indicate that
		

			for example, sort of Hajj verse 52, Allah says, One our son Nam in public under Rasool in one and a
billion, we have never sent before you, neither prophet nor messenger. Now the way that this wording
occurs even in English, neither prophet nor messenger, right, mira su Lin one and Abby and so the
fact that Allah says well and maybe neither this nor that when you have that phrasing or structure,
it is very clear that two separate things are being referenced by separate me they're not exactly
the same. You know, as as we are we're going to come to one is larger than the other right Mandela
school which is a smaller category one I know be a neither even a prophet, which is a larger
		

			category. And so this is a verse that is relatively clear. Also, the fact that Allah subhana wa tada
describes some profits as rhassoul and some profits as nebby and some profits as rezulin obeah iF
rasuna and OB were
		

			exactly the same, this would be repetitive. Why use the exact same adjective if it means the exact
same thing. For example, the surah mme verse 51 word Corfu kitabi Moosa in the hookah Anna macula
son, what can arasu then be you recall the mention of Moosa in this book, indeed he was someone who
was chosen and he was a Rasool and he was a nebby. Why is that? Why does Allah say he was at a
school and maybe, because there to not say exact same things he was both are soon and Debbie, which
indicates there is a difference between the concept that was sold and the concept of nebby and so on
or off Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions our own profit verse 157 our school and be on me there are
		

			so then maybe the Omi he mentions these different adjectives and characteristics all together. If
Rasool and nebby had been absolutely synonymous, it doesn't make sense for the Quran to use both of
these terms back to back okay, you don't use the exact same adjective to describe something back to
back yet Allah does so multiple times in the Koran, which means they are not the exact same
adjectives which means there is a difference between the Russell and the Navy. On the other hand,
some profits are not called Russell they're only called nebby. For example, yeah, it has Salam that
Allah says say you than what how surah one or the yen minister Ali hain, he is a Sayed a leader and
		

			a householder, somebody who never married when nebby from the solder hain so he is called a newbie.
And there is a very, very interesting Hadith that is so important that we should discuss this in
detail because it is a fundamental Hadith about the concept of prophets and messengers and the
quantity of prophets and messengers, which we're going to come back to next week as well in sha
Allah Allah. And that's a separate topic, but today we have talked about the difference between
nebby and Russell. And we have to use this hadith here. So there is a very, very interesting Hadith
that is used by many people to indicate that the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam, explicitly
		

			demarcated between an abbey and date or a shoal and it is a very, very important Hadith about the
concept of Zambia and the concept of Russell so I bought the actual books with me so that we can
shallow to look at them and then discuss a little bit about the authenticity because obviously at
the end of the day, this is not a very advanced class it is I would call this just like my car on
the others it's advanced to intermediate advanced, it's not you know, more than this is going to be
like graduate level or something which is not not gonna we're gonna not do this online of this or on
you know, public podium. So um, the, the Hadith in in question, it is narrated, or it is mentioned,
		

			referenced by even headband and even headband was a great scholar of Hadith. And his book is, is
called the silent headband by literary scholars. And he is one of the few people who attempted who
attempted to write a sloppy compilation, we have Bukhari, and Muslim, and then even hoceima, and
even hybond these are the four most famous attempts at writing Sufi only, but Buhari and Muslim have
a separate category. And even if Hosea comes number three, and a bit headband comes number four in
that genre, and he is the last of them. And he is also you know, not the he is even in terms of
chronology. And in terms of authenticity, there are many hasn't had it and there are even some weak
		

			Hadeeth in this compilation. So in a bit, Sahib it had been in for those of you who are interested
in Volume Two, page 77, there is a very long Hadith that actually goes four pages, five pages,
actually a very long, heavy five pages, not going to read all of it because it's simply too long,
and is the famous hadith of a Buddha aliphatic rhodiola one in which he says that I entered the
masjid and the prophets of the law while he was setting them was sitting by himself, and then begins
a very long conversation between him and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam in which he asks him
a whole bunch of questions. It's a very, very interesting, very atypical Hadeeth it's full of things
		

			that are not found in any other headings, which is why it is so fascinating. And so, and he and this
head, he talks about what is the best rebounder and which versus the best and describe to me the
throne of Allah and this industry of all of these different things here. And then we have over here
that Altria rasulillah Kamil ambia. I said O Messenger of Allah how many ambia were sent? The
Prophet sallallahu it he was sent him said me to elfin were a schroon alpha 120,000 meter to
elephant whereas schroon alpha 120,000 poultry Yasuda, la cama rusu, mean Zadek, I said, O Messenger
of Allah, how many of those
		

			Waterson Okay, so now we have in this Hadeeth we're going to talk about its authenticity in few
minutes. inshallah, in this Hadith, we have a large number of ambia 120,000. Then a Buddha says from
them how many were sold. So we clearly have in this Hadeeth that Russell or a category within
Zambia, and our profits of the law while he was selling responded, Sarah, to me it was, et cetera
Sharon Jamin hoffy rock that 313 a very large quantity. Don't trivialize that 313 might seem small
to you, but it is very large, out of 120,313 work of ritual. All men can have one at home. So I said
Who was the first tianyi newbie and the Prophet salallahu it he was sent him said, dumb old jr
		

			sunova and EBU in Mosul, I said O Messenger of Allah, Adam was an AVI omala sent Adam was an abbey
and the profitsystem said yes, Allah created him with his hands and blew the spirit into him and
spoke to him directly. And then the Hadeeth goes on and on, you know, four of them were sirianni are
the machines and and and no calidris and no and four of them were out of who would ensure even solid
and your Prophet Mohammed how many books came down, you know, 100 books came down, and four of them
were the Koto and it goes on and on. So you find a very, very interesting, if you like Hadeeth in
this regard. However, however, this particular chain has in it, somebody by the name of Ibrahim
		

			Ibrahim al Hasani, and this particular person is considered to be a liar with Tom and Bill Kirby's
accused of lying and because of this, the famous scholar of Hadeeth, Ivanova, Josie, who died 597,
he considered this hadith to actually be fabricated. He said, this hadith is forget, it's not even
supposed to be in the Sahih he said actually, it is supposed to be fabricated, and so, he went to a
very harsh level in this regard, and he said, we should not use this heading at all, because it is
not just somebody with a weak memory, but somebody has been accused of lying. However, there are
supporting evidence is you know, for this narration, and have them also from without a refinery, but
		

			with a totally different chain, we have in the Muslim humble, which is the famous collection of
Hadees. All of you should be familiar with in volume 35, page 341 of the famous doctor or shall have
no note addition, the famous one that was printed in 40 volumes that we have the hadith of Abu
rafati in which he mentions that the same, the same, a relatively long Hadith and he says Yasuda,
Allah MBI Oh, well, so which profit was first he says, DME? And I said, Was he an OB? And he said,
Yes, he was somebody whom Allah spoke to hold to era Sula company, motor saloon, how many were the
Prophets, and the Prophet says, and responded Salah To me it will build it I showed 310. And
		

			something even headband says 313 was set by Mr. Three and 10. And something jam Mandela theater a
large quantity. And then I and then it goes on to other sections. And in this Hadeeth 120,000 is not
mentioned, we only have we only have the notion of the proffer the rustle being 310. And something.
So this is used as some supporting evidence, because it is from a totally different chain, it has
nothing to do with this previous chain. However, this chain, it does have in it, a number of people
that are problematic as well not as problematic as this one. But nonetheless, some people are
unknown. So for example, it says
		

			that an unknown person in this chain and also you have somebody by the name of Rob bade them in a
hush hush whom, and again, there's a whole long commentary on this on the channel, I want to go into
all of those details here. So the point is that a lot of scholars even by the way, the editors of
this of this book, who are considered to be great scholars, they also come to the conclusion that
that this hadith is a weak Hadith is hard, it is a weak Hadeeth. Now there are other evidences as
well that are used of them is a narration from abou mama another companion not a Buddha, and it is
reported in the TFC have a banner behind him which has been recently published in its entirety. And
		

			there is a chain in their in which it mama says Yasuda, how many ambia and the profitsystem
responded me to elfen waterbar tune washroom 124,000 these names
		

			The one even headband mentions 120 and this one mentions 124,000 Min, Daddy catarratto. Me attend
welcome cetera Ashura. Russell, so of them were 315, even headband mentions 313 it mostly misses 310
and something and this one says 350, we'll get a similar figure jump men have a few or a large
quantity. And that chain as well has issues with it. In other words, and some have found other you
know, even more weak chains. In other words, you have three or four different chains that have a
similar concept. Not exactly the same, by the way, because each has a slightly different but it's
similar concept that ambia are very large 121 or 24,000, ruso or 310 313 315. Now, what to do? Well,
		

			some of the scholars of our times and in particular, the famous Albanian Jordanian scholar Adela,
Barney Chahal, Barney, and he was well known to, you know, for the scholars of Hadith to take such
chains and consider them to be supporting evidences, he actually considered this hadith that the
prophets are 124 and the Russell or 310 and something to be not just hesson he made it Sahil,
Mashallah to vertical law, right. And most of the scholars of Hadith that are considered to be the
experts, they consider Shahada Bonnie to be somewhat lacks when it comes to these types of issues to
bring forth chains and then consider them to be very easily because in reality, each one of these
		

			chains is actually very weak and to take these very weak or maybe even Moncada chains and then to
consider the Hadith to be, say, for example, this is not something that anybody before him had it
done. Nonetheless, you should be aware of this is shahadat Bonnie's position. And because of this,
the Hadeeth has become very popular in those circles that look up to this particular chef that they
consider this to be an authentic Heidi, that it is found in many, many books, to be an authentic
hadith, shareholder, Sam, even Samia, he comments on this Hadeeth as well in his much more volume
seven page 409. And he mentions that he mamod himself despite the fact that it is in his in his book
		

			he made himself did not consider this hadith to be authentic. And this also seems to be the position
of even taymiyah that we don't know the quantity of ambia and the quantity of Russell, we do not
know them. Now, Allah knows best. It is my humble opinion, as I've been Tamia concluded that the
tradition is not authentic, that this this notion of 124 or 120, Gambia and then 300 something
useful, that it is simply not authentic. And therefore, because the Hadith is not authentic, it
cannot be used to derive theology or to base our albedo on we do not base our theology on sources
that are not certain theology has to be certain, nonetheless, nonetheless, if somebody were to say,
		

			there is a hadith in most of the Mohammed, and some have considered to be life, that the prophets
are so many in number, and you know, even headband right, and you just mentioned that it is there.
But you point out that you know, what, even tambien Mr. McMahon and others did not consider this to
be authentic in reality to, to state this without firmly believing in it, there's no problem. In
other words, what I'm saying is that, to believe that there were around 124,000 prophets and around
310 messengers, there's nothing wrong with that. But it doesn't become a point of theology, because
there is no authentic hadith in this regard. And whoever believes that Hadith is authentic, should
		

			must, must believe in it, obviously. And so the main point for us is that there does not seem to be
any definitive number. However, what can be said without a doubt, is that the notion of MBR and
Russell being two distinct categories, and the Russell or a sub category within MBR, that this has
found in the Hadeeth books that much is factually true. So we can bring this and say that the MBR
and the Russell or not the same, and that the MBR is a larger category 124. And those cells are a
smaller subcategory within them. 310 of them are our Russell. So this seems to therefore be a very
good premise from which to begin our discussion, by the way, although this was a preliminary now we
		

			get to some of the opinions out there, what exactly is the difference between an EBI and a lawsuit?
		

			And we will now begin with a quick opinion that we will dismiss immediately. I'll call the author
mentions this in his shifa, and he says that of the opinions is that there is no difference between
an A B and or assume that every newbie is or assumed and every rasuluh is an A B, and the two
circles completely overlap. There's two Venn diagrams completely overlap, and we
		

			Based on all that I have just said for the last 20 minutes, we should dismiss this opinion
altogether. Allah azza wa jal does not use two words, to indicate the exact same thing. So this
position simply is untenable from a linguistic point of view. And from a Quranic point of view, and
from a Hadeeth point of view, even if some rude ama have said that even in our time Chicago does not
have Fifi, the famous scholar of study of the last generation would also claim this, but it doesn't
really add up in many different ways. And also, it has been a very, very minority opinion in Islamic
history. So that is the first opinion and we respect it. And we move on. The second opinion, is that
		

			another group
		

			said, and this is the opinion of quite a lot of Roma, including the great theologian of the 11th
century, or the mom has suffered any alima has suffered. He said that a nebby is somebody who is
inspired, but not commanded to propagate the message, and are assumed is somebody who is inspired
and sent to a people and commanded to propagate the message. So a nebby has information but he
doesn't share it with others, he's not commanded to share it, and or soon is sent to others, and he
shares the information with others. Now, this is a common opinion that is found in quite a lot of
source of early books. The problem, though, is to fault. The problem with this opinion is twofold.
		

			Firstly, there are plenty of texts to indicate that newbies were also sent to people. And secondly,
it is difficult to imagine Allah subhana wa tada inspiring a person with knowledge. And this person
knows what no other person on earth knows. And then he stays quiet and doesn't preach to the people.
A person who is not a prophet, that's me and you, we are required to spread whatever we have. We
must speak the truth we must guide our family and friends we have to be, you know, role models as
much as possible. How can one believe that Allah subhana wa tada inspires somebody? And then he sits
in the corner and does not do anything in reality. Neither does this make textual sense, nor does it
		

			make logical sense. And the Koran is explicit. Allah says in the Quran, women are sending them to
public school in what and maybe we have never sent before you neither prophet nor messenger. Well,
not out of Santa Min nabee. So the nebby is also more of Sal. Allah sends then maybe right he's not
called or soon, but he is still out of cell look at the technicality, right? A lot out of cell, the
ambia and the Russell so the fact that a lot out of cell does not make him out of school. Allah sent
them maybe it doesn't make him the messenger and Allah sent that assume, and he becomes the
messenger both are motorcyle but only one is Rasool and the other remains nebby and also Allah says
		

			in the Koran, very explicitly, Weatherford Allahu, Allah, the auto Kitab led to be you know, no holy
nasty will attack to Muna who Allah took the covenant from the people of the book that you are going
to, you are going to reveal this message to mankind and you are not going to hide it. So Allah
azzawajal has a very clear contract, when you have knowledge you have to preach and teach it and you
do not hide it. And we also have the famous Hadith is why Muslim as well, kindness bunu is through
Isla de su su ambia Kula Mahalia canovee Yun Hala who nabee the children of Israel, they were
governed by ambia. Every time a nebby died or was killed another NaVi replaced him. Okay, so this
		

			hadith shows that the Gambia were sent to Bani Israel and why we're aware of their existence. They
didn't just sit in a corner and meditate and not preach to others. And we have the famous Hadith
disciple hottie as well, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, we're ready for it. And
among the nations were shown to me, and I saw a nebby, who had one person with him, and under B that
had two people, and then a B that has a small group and an abbey that nobody followed him. So we
clearly have the notion of ambia preaching to their people and people are following and if nobody
follows it's not because then it'd be didn't try. It's because this is people did not his people did
		

			not accept so then Debbie is also sent by a law. And this is proven as well in the famous hadith of
Amitabh nabasa of ambilobe nabasa, which is one of the very interesting heidy that is mentioned in a
number of source books that I'm leaving ibises says that he came to Mecca. He came to McCann early
Islam
		

			And he heard that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was preaching something new. He heard the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was preaching something new. So he went up to him, and he asked
him ma anta What are you? This is a really interesting question. He didn't say men enter Who are
you? Because he knows he is. The profits of the last time he said Ma, anta, what are you and the
profitsystem said, an n b, I am a nebby. Now, the concept of nebby, as we're going to come to in a
later lecture was not known amongst the Arabs.
		

			They didn't know what an OB was. And so I'm leaving the ABA said, woman a B, and what is a nebby? He
is asking him and what is a nebby? And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that our cell
and Illa Allah has sent to me, Allah has sent to me. And the AMA said to him with what and the
prophets have said, to fulfill the ties of the family and to destroy the idols and so that only a
lot is worship. Now, all of this is a beautiful Hadith, why am I quoting it? The Prophet system
said, I am a nebby, whom Allah has sent an EBI or salmonella. So this second opinion that a newbie
does not preach to the people simply doesn't add up, all of the texts and even common sense and
		

			logic detect dictate that that does not make sense. Okay, so then we park this opinion as well,
let's move on to the third opinion. The third opinion we find is mentioned by a group of great
classical odema of the early the flourishing time of Islam. And this is the fourth and fifth century
when the knowledge was beginning to be crystallized one can say that sixth, seventh, eighth, and
others, you know, somewhat ossified and, and set into stone, and then you get to the somewhat of a
decline. But that's beyond the scope of our class here. So fourth, fifth century, we have a lot of
thought coming out and processes and trying to look back and, and figure out what's going on and
		

			categorize. So you have some really brilliant minds, and of the minds that we have is the professor
a 30 B, who died for 29. hedgerow, and somebody who was greatly influenced by him, his student and
Wahidi, who died for 68 ledger, who has a multi volume book called elbow suit, and also another one
called n wedges. And these came out recently 30 volumes of Tafseer, they were discovered in in
manuscript form. So these are great roadmap of the past, and the both of them and they are student
teacher, the both of them have pretty much the same opinion, authority be said in his tafsir, that
rasuluh is the one who was sent to mankind, through Allah sending gibreel down to him, and gibreel
		

			communicating with him directly. And through visual, he could see him directly and speak to him
directly, and ask for the nebby then there'll be his new Bulwark comes through inspiration that is
not God, and through dreams. And so he said, there'll be endora soon there or soon is one home
gibreel comes to, and the Navy is the one whom Allah communicates without God. Okay, so that's his
interpretation. And he said, therefore, every rasuna is an abbey. But not every newbie is, is or
assume the same thing. We said that this notion is pretty much, you know, unanimous for everybody
besides the first group, the first group, of course, that that, and then it'd be exactly the same,
		

			and then why it has the same concept. Now, the response to this is that there does not seem to be
any shred of evidence for this. It seems just to be something that is there's no evidence Well, what
is the evidence? How do we know gibreel did not come to the Gambia. Where do we get this from? In
fact, there seems to be a lot of indications that you breed went to every single newbie and rasuu.
So it's an interpretation, we should mention it, but it doesn't add up and there's no evidence for
it. So that is a third opinion, a fourth opinion. A fourth opinion, is mentioned by perhaps, you
know, a lot of great roadmap perhaps you know, some of them being of the greatest of the theologians
		

			of certain schools. mm inessa fee, human humanness is considered to be the primary or one of the
primary architects and expounder is I should say, of the Ashanti School of Theology EMA nessus. An
SF he says, I will fall kobina Houma under Rasulullah man Gemma even more use et al. Kitab al Manasa
la wannabe Melhem unison rally hit up. We're in Nima O'Meara and yet the Raider Shetty. It Monica
Bella Who? So the difference between the lawsuit and the nabee is that the rasuna has a miracle and
the book that Allah has sent down to him, and then nebby does not have any book necessarily he
doesn't have a book rather he calls to the book and the shedding of those before him and therefore
		

			he said, though Sood is the one who
		

			Who brings a new Sherry? And then there'll be protects the Sharia of the one before him. Okay, so
this is a fourth opinion of Imam nsfc. Before I critique it, let's mention one more. And then we
critique all the last three ones, or fifth opinion, which is very similar to the fourth one is that
era soon was sent with a new shadia. And then a B is one who was sent to uphold the previous Shetty.
I know the words. This is the second half of an SFC statement, the first half of an SF, he says he
must be given a book and he must be given a more juice or a miracle, whereas the nebby is not given
a more jeiza or a miracle. The fifth opinion is a modified version of the fourth one, it's basically
		

			the last half of the Mississippi and that is that there are Sewall comes with a new Shetty and the
nebby oppose the previous shediac. And this is one of the dominant positions that one finds
scattered throughout many books of Tafseer. And in many books of commentary and creed and great
roadmap past and present, including the great professor Lucy, he held this position. Also we have
you can even say a sixth opinion or modified fifth one if you like. In which one of our the scholars
of our time is that somebody who might consider a teacher and mentor ship stuff in Hawaii. He says
that the difference between the Rasul and the Navy is that both are soon and then maybe convey
		

			information. But there are school Yeti beshara nj deed comes with a new shadia in a Coleman cafe in
a biggie to a group that have rejected him while you're cool lubaina whom were benina who took the
Bull Run, and between him and his people, there's a back and forth of reputations and of rejection,
until finally Allah subhana wa tada causes him to win over to win over his people to win over his
people ask for and then maybe he comes to revive the cheriya of the previous rasuluh. And to correct
what was ratified to simply uphold what was ratified. This is the position of some modern
theologians and of the evidences that are given for this is the statement of the Prophet salallahu
		

			it who was sending them in, in which he said lama wertha to ambia. scholars are the inheritors of
the prophets He did not say of the messengers, scholars are the inheritors of the prophets. What
does a scholar do? A scholar cannot bring forth a new Shetty, a scholar reinforces the idea that the
prophets came with. And that is why the Prophet system is saying
		

			what I said to an MBA, the scholars are now going to do the jobs that the prophets used to do.
Right, Allah is not going to send any more profits. So then who's going to uphold the Sharia
interpret the Shetty out, make sure the Sharia that's going to be the rule of the rule ama, he
didn't say the Roma are the inheritors of the rustle. Nobody can take on that job other than the
rustle. And so this position, I would say, let's call this both four and five and five, a basic of
the last 25 minutes that I was mentioned, these types of ideas that the the Shetty comes with a soul
or that a book comes with a soul. And that nav is somebody who opposed the previous Shetty or
		

			doesn't have a book, this is something that is perhaps the most common, or versions of this
interpretation, or perhaps the most common that are found across the board. And the reality is that
this is seems to be a very good opinion at first stroke. And it makes a lot of sense. And that's why
a lot of people propagated. And if we look at so many names amongst the MBR, and Russell, everything
fits into place. So for example, that we know that yahaya is an AB, whereas his cousin, Isa is a
rhassoul. You Shaq is an OB, but mosa is a Russell. And if we look at the bulk of the names that
we're familiar with, then clearly this definition makes sense. Okay, especially in light of the MBR
		

			of the bunu throw in all of the bunu is through. prophets were unburied, they were not rustled until
Aris comes because he has given a new Sharia and a new book. And so if you look at Moosa is our soul
he's given a book, and he's given a shout out all the profits after ambia all the way down to ERISA,
because he says also given a book, and he says, given a new Shetty and so that seems to make a lot
of sense. However, it doesn't make complete sense, or I should say not it's not right to use the
word sense I should say. If we were to look at all of the names we have about Zambia and Russian and
use them as litmus tests. Let's compare our definitions with the actual names on the in the Koran,
		

			we find that there are specific names that do not match up and have them is Adam a new hire to his
salon. Now, if we say that a rasuluh is somebody who comes
		

			With a new shadia and then Debbie has to affirm the shedding of the Prophet before him or the
Russell before him. Okay. We know from a hadith in Sahih Bukhari that no, is the first Rasul ever
sent and we know from Heidi than Muslim Imam Muhammad and others that Adam is a nebby So Adam is
gonna be no error is rosu Okay, now if we say a nebby must uphold the shitty out of the previous
rhassoul what is Adam coming with?
		

			Adam is gonna be there is no Shetty before him. So Adam and No, they don't fit up with this
definition. And we also have use of as well. The Quran mentions the surah Hoffer. welaka Jochem
usofa makapuu, Bilbo janati. From a zoo to Fisher kinemaster COVID Hector ada halakhah pulutan linea
batha la and back to Hera Su. Okay Rasool Allah calls use of aerosol Okay, did use of get a new
Sharia. Did he get a new revelation? No use of his following the Sharia. We brought him at his
Salaam no new revelation yet he is called Rasul. So Adam, and use of our two examples, and we can
find more as well. that don't make sense. A third example is how rune, how rune is a Rasulullah even
		

			though he did not get his own shehryar he of Musa Allah says in the Quran, that in Rasulullah Arabic
right? Allah xojo says in the Quran very explicitly, that both Moosa and how rune came to frown for
Kula the both of you say that Allah has sent us Okay, so Moosa and how rune or sent by Allah
subhanahu, WA Tada. They are both Russell. And yet how rune did not get a new shed here. He is
following the shady isle of Musa alayhis salam, and yet their book called The lawsuit. So we have a
number of key examples in which these definitions do not match up. And therefore, we need to go back
to another definition, or there's yet one more example by the way, and that is the word that is the
		

			word alehissalaam. That would was given a book, but no newsha and that was an abbey not
		

			the old was an abbey not out of school, because he followed the shadow of Musab, but he was given a
book or attained Buddha, the Buddha and the Hadith and was seen in Mamet, the prophet system said
Canada wouldn't be the Prophet that would never be that would and then the head goes on. So these
are examples that don't match with the definition that is given by a lot of roadmap. So therefore,
let us pause on this definition. And now get to our final definition, which is a shallow to either
the strongest candidate and really it makes the most sense, and it also goes back to the linguistic
meanings as we will see. And that is the definition that is propounded by none other than
		

			shareholders, to Dean Achmed. The famous shareholders have given to me I thought, how Ronnie, that
shareholder Islam, mentions in his famous book determinable, what, which is a massive, you know,
attempt by Ubuntu, a really erudite book to talk about prophecy and prophets. He wrote two volumes,
GitHub and the Buddha, which is one of the most amazing books I mean, to be frank, almost everything
he wrote is a very, very ingenious, very amazing book. In this book, it happened to be what he
discusses the notion of prophecy, he discussed it was what is a prophet and in how do we know
profits or profits and you know, the reality of profits? So he has an entire book about keytab, and
		

			what the book of prophets and in this he defines nebby He says, a nebby, who will you be Ohio law?
Well, who are you the oma Amber adma ob ob, that the nebby is somebody whom Allah gives information
to, and then he shares the information that Allah has given to him. Okay, that's an OB. And that'd
be by linguistic definition is anybody whom Allah communicates with directly and because Allah
communicates with him, he is obliged to share that knowledge to some people, at least his people, he
is obliged to do that. Allah does not, you know, make somebody a nebby and then tell him to sit in
his house, every newbie is going to preach, even if it's to a group of people, not to all of
		

			mankind, he must preach so that is an abbey, then for in Odyssey, Rama as radical Islam and Han for
amberleigh II. If then a B is now sent to a group who openly rejects the command of Allah, the
existence of Allah, the worship of Allah, and he now teaches the message of Allah to that group. He
becomes
		

			As a rosu, he becomes a rosu.
		

			And he then mentions that, generally speaking, there are so it might also come with a new Sharia.
But that's not a condition, it is just an a norm, it's not necessarily a condition. So even Tamia
gives a very, very precise definition that in reality fits perfectly with all of the examples. And
it fits perfectly with the linguistic origins of nebby and rhassoul. And that is why we will
conclude with this definition. The nebby is someone whom Allah informs directly inspires directly
communicates with directly and a lot teachers knowledge that no other human knows. And that nebby is
then required to spread that knowledge and share that knowledge. However, if then a B, is now
		

			sharing it or, or being sent to a group that doesn't accept him, that is going to reject him that
doesn't believe in his message, and he must establish himself amongst them. Now he gets an upgrade,
and he is now a rasuluh. He is sent to a people that are rejecting Him. As for a newbie, who is not
here, assume his people want this information, his people are eager, and they're waiting for it. And
they accept him by and large. So the nebby is not being sent to a disbelief in calm, and nebby is
sent to people who already believe like Adam, it his son, Adam, his children believed in him, Tao
luud was a king and a mighty prophet. But his people believed in him. He's not at our sole use of
		

			didn't have a new Sharia. But he is sent to the people of Pharaoh or I should say, the people of
Egypt, he is sent to the people of Egypt. So it's not about Shetty. Even though generally speaking,
every rasuu would have a new Sharia, generally speaking, but it's not about Sharia. And it's not
about book, because books are as we're going to come to. In reality, a book is nothing other than
the compilation of the revelation. And it's, in some sense, every single Prophet was because they
were given inspiration. In some sense. every prophet had the rudimentary nature of a book, ie
something that came down from Allah, some of those prophets, their books were compiled, and others
		

			were not. Some were given larger books and others were not. Some were given non legal books were
attained at the Buddha's abora. This aboard was a non legal book, it had nothing to do with the
shediac it was just praise of Allah. That's all that it was. It was just praise of Allah. And it was
a book that Allah revealed, but it didn't contain laws. Moosa was given the laws that would follow
the laws of Moosa. Yusuf was not given a book nor a machete out, but he was a school because he
followed the shady Ebrahim, but he was sent to the people of Egypt. So if you look at this
particular definition, it's not about what they were given, whether it books or what not, it's about
		

			the reception, it's about where they sent to. And that's what I've said amines. Now, in one sense,
in one sense, every newbie is sent to his people, no doubt, but to be sent to those who are
welcoming you, is not the same as to walk into the policies of fit own as musaajid, it is not the
same as to fight the courage like the professor some did in bed and organize up, that is a higher
level of being sent. And that is why they are called rhassoul. Because they're now being sent to a
group of people that are going to battle with him. And that's why as well, what does the meaning of
receive means he's an active messenger, he doesn't, and Abby is going to inform, or assume is going
		

			to actively engage by preaching, there's going to be a struggle back and forth, that goes back to
the connotation of Rasool, because there are so doesn't just deliver the message that Assad is
engaged in delivering the message, which means there's going to be resistance, and they must be
pushed back. And that's included in the term or soul. And that is why the reality therefore, which
seems to be the strongest opinion, Allah knows best. And by the way, there are some other opinions
as well out there, which I just left because they're even more obscure. I quoted you six opinions,
which are really the main positions that are found there are others as well. But again, this is
		

			enough for our, for our level. And the sixth one, the final one seems to be watertight, there's not
a single example that I can think of, that does not fit with this definition of rhassoul and nebby.
And so with this shallow data, we come to the conclusion of this lecture of ours, and we explain
that arasu is a nebby, who has been sent to a comb that doesn't believe in Him or doesn't believe in
God, and that he has to then establish his credentials and ask for an Abbe he is sent to a home that
already believes in Him or is expecting him or shall not reject
		

			him and therefore he is a nebby and he's going to inform them of the revelation of Allah on him.
inshallah, in our next class we will continue other introductory topics about the concept of Zambia
and Russell and now you know the difference between the two until then Jacques mala head on with
Santa Monica Rahmatullahi wa barakato Yeah.
		

			He can't
