Yasir Qadhi – The Story of Salim Mawla Abi Huzayfah and Its Legal Implications

			shallow today we'll do a short story from this era that actually has a very interesting and
contested filthy position that is relevant to our times. It is the story of Salem, the molar per day
for who is this Salem, who's a boy for the for what's his story in a nutshell, because we have to
get to the filthy issue as well. Abu Hanifa is the son of Aruba, and rootball was a distant uncle of
the Prophet salallahu idea he was sent remember the story of thought if, and he went to the garden,
and the two brothers Aruba and Shaybah. These are the two brothers, Aruba and Shaybah. They were the
two brothers who own the garden. And Aruba was the one who in the battle of budhan When the Prophet
		

			system saw the battle of brothers, the Quraysh on the other side, and there was a red camel running
back and forth. And the Prophet system said, if they listen to the man on the red camel, they shall
be successful. That mountain on the red camel was rutabaga, and root bow was saying to the Quraysh
Oh Quraysh Why are you going to war so what if they have a different religion? You're going to kill
your own blood relatives because they have a different faith. Why are you going to war with them?
And Abuja had made fun of in Abuja has said you're a coward. That's why you're saying this so rich,
but was vetoed and the process and praised Urdhva even though he was a non Muslim, if they listened
		

			to it, but they will be successful. So he praised the man on the red camel he said Rouge but he died
in the battle of Baton Rouge but Sun is above her day for her they've embraced Islam. Early. Maca
made hijra to Abyssinia and you know was one of the well known Sahaba. Abu Hanifa in the days of
Jaya Helia had a slave. That slave was from Iran, Persia. And that slave was called Salim. We don't
know anything about his ancestry because he was a slave a child brought from Iran. He was an Iranian
or Persian from the land or from the from the city of Estacada, one of the one of the capitals of
the ancients acid empire. So Saddam was from this land that is to her and he was raised up as an
		

			Arab even to he was Persian, but he was taken his child and he was raised up as an Arab. He spoke
fluent Arabic, and he learned the customs and the habits of the Arabs. And he was a very precocious,
intelligent, very well ingratiated people loved him so much so that as a young child, he was freed
from slavery. And Salem was freed from slavery and abort her they decided to adopt him according to
the jaw Haley adoption technique, which is called 70. You remember the concept of terminate we
talked about this a lot of times that Allah has abrogated Allah says it's not allowed that adoption
Salim was called the son of abort or defer so Salim Ibn of yesterday for even though he wasn't the
		

			son Salim was a slave. But Abu Hanifa loved him so much. He was such a bright young child raised up
in the household that Saddam adopted him, and then gave him his own niece in marriage, like really
treated him like a chorus, you know, you're going to be a Karachi and he was raised as a Karachi and
he was treated as a Quraishi. Then they embraced Islam. The whole family embraced Islam, obviously
not Aruba. He died a pagan, but about her day for the sun and Salim they embraced Islam, they
migrated to Abu Senia they came back then they migrated to Medina, and Salim as a young child
already had memorized the whole Quran that had been revealed up until that time, and Salim was the
		

			one who would lead Salah and Masjid Koba. Before the process I migrated to Medina and Rama Rama
Hatha was the Ibn Omar was there others were there and Salim was the one who was the Imam. That's
how good his Dilawar was. That's how good of an Arabic pronunciation he was chosen as the Imam
amongst the Sahaba even though his origin was something else, but he was more knowledgeable in the
Quran than many of the Sahaba This is Salim Mola a beautiful day for so Saddam is raised up as in
the household embraces Islam, then Allah reveals in the Quran, don't call them except by their
fathers. Don't call them these false lineages or do homely Abba to him. So Allah abrogated this
		

			concept of Chobani and so Salim was no longer called Sodom even today for he was called Salem molar
per day for Salem molar of your per day for and lots of praise is given upside and by the way, our
process and said hadith is in Behati learn the Quran from for people and he mentioned OB and Ibn
Masood and he said Sally molar a beautiful day for and once I show the Allahu anha was delayed
coming back to the House and the President said what delayed you she said I was passing by the
masjid I heard somebody recite
		

			and his voice mesmerized me. So the process of war his cloak went outside. It turned out it was
solemn. So he said at Hamdulillah that Allah has blessed me with the likes of Saddam to be in my
ummah with great praise that he said Alhamdulillah I have somebody like Saddam in my OMA and Saddam
passed away a Shaheed in the Battle of Yamama. And
		

			removable cover Rhodiola one after sudden passed away. He was sitting amongst the elite of the
sahaba. He said to them, if you guys had a wish, what would you wish for? Each one wished? I wish I
had a million dinars. I would spend it in the way of Allah. I wish I had this. I wish I had that.
You know what I'm gonna have Tom said. He said, As for me, I wish I had this whole house instead of
full of you. It was full of Salem, and people like Salem. He's reminiscing. I wish I had people like
Salem, and I would appoint him to be the governor or the leader of every expedition, like he's
missing, you know, Saddam, and when he was stabbed and he was about to die. He said if Saddam had
		

			been alive, I wouldn't have appointed the six people I would have asked solemn who to choose, he
would have immediately asylum. This is the status of Saddam molar of your Hodeidah. You can see how
beloved he was to the Sahaba to the prophets of salaam to honorable hilltop and and the rest of the
sahaba. Now, this Salim This is the story we wanted to mention.
		

			When the Allah revealed in the Quran that they are no longer your children, they are you called them
by their fathers. So the Tibet knee is abolished. So Saddam then became a stranger in the household,
a non Muharram to the household. And so, Abu they first wife Her name was salah, Binti Sohail Ibn
amor the Sohaib an ambit of the Treaty of are they be if you remember the treaty with her they be
that so hated been hammered. Her daughter is Salah, so
		

			Salah was the one who raised Salim so the mother, but not the actual biological mother, but the one
who raised silent. So Salah went to the process and said the other suit Allah Salim is now a young
man, and he enters in upon us. And he's not Muharram to me, and I mean, Saddam has no other house.
He doesn't have any family. He was raised in the household of you know, a Buddha, and he doesn't
have any family in Medina. So what is to be done? I mean, should we only have one house he's gonna
come in? Or would I wear the hijab? What do I do? So the Prophet says that, um, said, You may feed
him some of your milk, she was pregnant and feeding another child, you may feed him some of your
		

			milk, meaning express it in a cup and give it to him. This is the controversy of the veal
controversy. She said, Yeah. Rasulullah he's an adult's. He's a young man, the process and I'm
laughing because I know he's a young man, feed him and he will be your Muharram Okay, now you
understand this hadith isn't Behati well known incident. Now you understand where this is heading
		

			to question arises is this incidence, a one off exception that was given specifically for Salam and
Abu Hanifa. Because Bernie had been abrogated, adoption has been abrogated. And so certain one off
instances have to be done to make sure society can flourish. So is the solemn incident one off? Or
is it a principle that in case of need, you may lactate express the milk in a cup, obviously, and
give it to somebody above the age of two, because the vast majority of scholars actually the four
schools of Sunni Islam Hanafi Shafi, Maliki, humbly, they all say salams case is exception.
		

			And they say, in order for that Allah or the foster ship to be established, you must give milk to a
child less than the age of two.
		

			Because the point is according to them, that the milk will nourish the child. And so there is
literally they call it the growth of meat in the child they call it like the bones being fed by the
child like there is going to be a type of biological relationship between the foster mother and the
child such that now this child is a Muharram and all the other children born to this lady, that's
the foster brothers and sisters. So the former that have said, this is a one off. We don't make any
class any analogy. And Allah says in the Quran, while while he that to your trainer with the Hoonah
how Laney can be Laney Luminara. The new timber Radha foster mothers should breastfeed their
		

			children up until two years if they want to fulfill the whole time of frustration of Raba. So they
say mama Shafi said Allah mentioned
		

			is two years means the child has to be less than two years old. So any feeding that takes place
after two years is irrelevant. This is what the majority say. But there's always been a minority
opinion. And in fact, the first person who held this minority opinion was none other than our
mother, I should have the Allahu Ana, I shall herself not the Allahu anha when there was in the
because, you know, I sure had plenty of nephews and nieces from a small Abdullah bin who's a bit all
of them she had plenty of blood relatives, when there was an instance of a young man raised up and
not wanting to have any Muharram relationships and she wanted to establish modern relationships. She
		

			would tell her nieces she would tell her blood relatives that okay, you may express and give some
milk now this person can enter in into your section and be a blood brother unto you. This was our
issue of the hola Vanessa tour. And this fatwa remained in the OMA as a minority, Ibn hasm and the
vahidi and then Ibn Taymiyyah and dibuka em, they also champion this view Imitate me as said that
this instance of Salim, it shows that in dire situations, when there's no option, and the child has
passed the age of two. And there must be some logical or some rational reason why then we may make
an exception. But it's an exception, not a general rule that you know when there's a need. And of
		

			course, this fatwa, some modern agencies and folklore have taken it in the case of adoption, that if
you take a child above the age of two, maybe five years old, seven years old, and now they're going
to be raised up in the household, then this summer, I must say you can follow Ibn Taymiyyah Aisha is
busy what not because of the asylum issue, I'm not here to discuss, you know, the correct opinion at
the end of the day, you asked the chef you trust in the judgment, you follow? Just wanted to mention
here, the instance of the Sierra and how something that again, you know, the Sierra teachers are so
much and the instance takes place, but then we remain or later scholars remain now wondering, is
		

			this an exception because of the status of asylum? And because the Quran came down at that
particular time it has to accommodate this the families upon which the Quran came down, because
that's the unique or is this legislation for the entire Ummah, the Sahaba themselves differed on one
side you have eyeshadow the Allah one on the other side you have Omar and others they said no so one
of even in this orbit they different even amongst the Sahaba and this is the laugh has remained in
the Ummah but truth be told the majority opinion is that the sound of instances no pay us no analogy
is a one off and in the end of the day, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada knows best just wanted to tell you
		

			that interesting anecdote and how we benefit from it even in our times, and inshallah will give
other stories later on. Zack will look here Santa Monica Rahmatullah he bought a couch
