			While at Hamilton Illa and to
Muslim moon, he says all believers

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			should be conscious of Allah
subhanaw taala, who should be
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:17
			aware of him, and we shouldn't
allow ourselves to die, except in

			barakato.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			The
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			listens and the life
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			of Imam Al Bukhari
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			Rahmatullah hiya Ali is a subject
of so many books
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			and in today's hood by insha,
Allah Tala,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:27
			I'm going to give you a very quick
overview about his life and about
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32
			one of the most beautiful
qualities that Imam Al Bukhari
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:39
			has. So a man his name is Abu
Abdullah that his cornea, Abu
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:47
			Abdullah Mohammed, even Ismail
Ibrahim Emil movie era, Al
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:56
			Bukhari, that's his full name. His
grand father, Aloe Vera was one of
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			the people who witnessed the
Sahaba and revert to Islam at that
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			time.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			And Emmanuel Buhari
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:09
			was very passionate about one
subject and which is Al Hadith.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			And we're gonna go in depth with
this in sha Allah Tala. But in his
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			childhood was very interesting. He
lost his eyesight at the age of
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			three.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:26
			And then, with the tremendous
desire that his mother made for
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			him, Allah subhanaw taala has
returned his eyesight back.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			In the Islamic books in the truth,
we don't have a lot of information
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:40
			about who his mother was. But we
know her through this do is that
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:45
			she made for ALLAH SubhanA wa
Taala for her child to gain his
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:51
			eyesight back. And subhanAllah.
Just think about this. at very
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			young age, Allah gave him this
huge tiller.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:02
			All of the legends, all of the
hearers in the human history, had
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			to go through these kinds of
hardships. No one actually made it
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			the easy way. If there are no
hardships, no development, so Imam
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:16
			Al Bukhari had to experience this
at very young age. And then he had
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:23
			a dream one time that he was one
of the people who actually got to
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28
			change the world. And he woke up
from that dream and said, I want
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			to be that one who actually
changed the world. He had that
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:36
			passion, how and when, and all of
these questions, he did not have
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			answers at that time. But he said
that he had that dream at very
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			young age. And then he realized
that he had a lot of passion to
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:50
			memorize al Hadith, right? So at
the age of six, one time, he was
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			in a halacha.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57
			And then his teacher was a scholar
of Hadith. And he was actually
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			seeing one of the Hadith with the
chain of narration. So he's saying
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:06
			Zubayr, and you know, Sophia, and
ismail and Ibrahim. So
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			Emmanuel Buhari at that time, six
years old kid, raised his hand and
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			told him oh, by the way, there is
something wrong with this chain of
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			narration, someone has to be
missing. And then his teacher
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			looked at him was like, Who this
who this kid, they wanted to show
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:28
			me up with my halacha and then he
said, go and review your love
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:35
			your notes, and then the CHE went
and checked his his low hands and
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			came back and realized that Imam
Bukhari was right. So he told him,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			you're right, but now tell me what
what is actually the chain of
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			narration, the correct one, and
then Imam Al Bukhari told him it
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:53
			is Sophia and zubaid and eau de
and you forgot all day. And then
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			Annie Brahim. And then the the
teacher looked at him and told
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			him, say, a cool new Lukashenko.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Alvi. You have a great future
bright future ahead of you. And
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:13
			then at the age of 16, he actually
decided to travel to Mecca to
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:18
			study Hadith. That was his
passion. I want to actually study
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			the words of Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			had that passion. So he went and
he started his journey there. Fast
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32
			forward a little bit, the age of
22. He actually decided to go to
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			get the blessing of meeting Al
Imam Muhammad and humble Radi
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:41
			Allahu Anhu in Baghdad, so he got
to travel like about 1000 miles to
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			go from Mecca to Baghdad to seek
knowledge from Imam Muhammad
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			before his death.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			Now
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:57
			Imam Al Bukhari at that time was
will knowledgeable about Hadith
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			towards the age of 30. He was a
great scholar. Everybody knows who
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			he is, if they're actually want to
check any any of the Hadith or the
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:11
			authenticity of a hadith, they got
to travel all the way to Baghdad,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:16
			to look for a memorable hurry to
ask them questions. And now
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			there's some jealousy we're around
and some people you know, we're
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:25
			questioning you know, that that
qualification of Emmanuel Buhari
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			and there's like he has so much
hype and we're not sure if this
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:34
			hype is true. So the actually got
to quiz him in public one time.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			So in Masjid
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			Al Kabir feedback that one of the
biggest massages in Baghdad at
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:48
			that time, they told him come and
we will test you and the Hadith.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			And as As humans, we love drama.
So a lot of people came and showed
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:59
			up to the masjid at that time just
to watch this kind of public test
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			with Imam Al Bukhari.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			And then
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:12
			the chef started reciting or
reading 100 Hadees from Prophet
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam
style
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			and he did something you know, he
wanted to trick him honorable
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:26
			curry. So he makes a match the
Senate with the Mexican Senate, I
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			promise this is not I'm still a
hadith class, but senate is the
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:35
			narrator's and Ulmerton is the
actual words of Prophet Muhammad
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			Sallallahu wasallam. So, in number
Armelle, orbignya, that's a metal,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			right? These are the words of
Prophet Homosassa. who narrated
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:48
			this hadith. These these narrators
we call it Senate. Right. So the
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			chef wanted to trick a mammal
Buhari so he makes the match. So
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:57
			he can say, A, B and C narrate it
in an envelope in the yard. And in
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:02
			fact, C, D and F, who are the ones
who narrated that hadith? So for
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06
			me and you if we hear it now that
I'm Albania to say like yeah, that
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			makes sense this hadith, but for
Imam Al Bukhari, because he is a
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			master of this, if this knowledge,
it won't make sense then because
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:19
			there is something wrong in the
narrator's. So every single Hadith
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:24
			that the sheikh recited at Imam
Bukhari, he used to say, I don't
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			know this hadith. I don't know
this hadith. I don't know this
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:31
			hadith until he completed the
hundreds. And then he was like, in
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			a position where people will say
that he's ignorant that he doesn't
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			know hundreds Hadees he doesn't,
you know, people wouldn't realize
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			why he denied all of these Hadees.
So Emmanuel Buhari because he had
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:50
			this incredible sharp memory. He
got to recite to him all of the
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:55
			100 Hadees back with the wrong
narrators. And he then he told
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			him, and these are the right
narrators.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:06
			100 Hadees he memorized the wrong
ones that he gave him, and he
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			fixed it and give him the 100
Hadees back with the right
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:14
			narrations. The scholar said this
is incredible, incredible talents
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			that Imam Al Bukhari had and then
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			fast forward a little bit.
Emmanuel Buhari.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:30
			Was someone not just very
knowledgeable about this field,
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			the field of Hadith? He got this
honor to actually preserve our
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			deen because we drive our religion
from Al Quran. Well, Hadith
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:47
			not just that he was mastering
that knowledge, but he had one
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:53
			unique quality Subhanallah you
know, I was just doing a research
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:59
			about this concept of credibility
and in the University of Nevada
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			They had a study for about three
decades. And the asked people very
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:12
			simple questions. They said, What
makes a company very sustainable?
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:17
			What makes you buy a product from
a specific company?
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:23
			And the second question was, what
makes you follow a leader
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:33
			to questions and the ask these
questions to around 7000 CEOs and
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:39
			managers in the US. And then the
asked the same questions to people
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:46
			that they live overseas, Africans,
Asians, Latinos, Europeans, people
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			from different social classes,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			people, different professions,
engineers, doctors,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:58
			the asked every single one from
different ethnicity and different
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:04
			background, the simple questions,
two questions, what makes a
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			company successful, sustainable,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:12
			and makes you buy their products?
The second question was what, what
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			makes you follow a leader.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			And of course, they got a lot of
answers. But they say what was
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:27
			very interesting is that on the
top of this list, was this concept
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			of credibility.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:35
			They say, if some, if a company
has the credibility, if the
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:40
			company has this credibility,
build that trust has this good
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:46
			reputation, it makes me go and buy
their products. And then they say,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:54
			for me to follow a leader, he has
to have this sense of credibility.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			If he doesn't have the sense of
credibility, nobody will follow.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:03
			They will see them as fake. These
are the words, summarize the
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			summarization of this study. Now
Subhanallah, right before the
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			football is talking to one of my
my friends who was the CEO of a
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:17
			big company here, and I told him,
would you hire someone who has all
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:22
			the qualifications, he will get
your job done. He's very
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:28
			knowledgeable about this field. He
will get all of your needs for
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:32
			that work for that job to get to
get it done.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:38
			And he has, you know, incredible
skills. Would you hire that if he
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			doesn't have the sense of
credibility? He told me absolutely
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			not.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:50
			credibility for him. He said it's
a veto power. If he doesn't have
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:55
			credibility, he's not qualified
for that job. Now, let's go back
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:55
			to Imam
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			Emanuel, who had his credibility.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			I will say this and you can quote
me on this.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:12
			What made Sahil Buhari what it is
now, even though so many scholars
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			and shaves tried to actually write
books like Sahil Bukhari and it
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:21
			never got the authenticity of that
book. What made Suhail Buhari what
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			it is not because he demanded
Buhari was the most knowledgeable
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:32
			man, not because Imam Bukhari had
the sharpest memory ever, not
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:36
			because of all of this, it is
because all of these reasons, in
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			addition to his credibility,
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:45
			his credibility, and Subhanallah
I'll give you a story that's very
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:50
			unique story from his life. That
actually summarized his his
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:55
			concern about his credibility, one
time towards the end of his life.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			So he spoke about his childhood,
spoke about a little bit about his
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:06
			teenager life, and then towards
30s. Now we arrived almost to his
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			death. One time he was named this
journey
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:15
			for a business transaction, it was
going for a business trip. And he
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:15
			was in a ship.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			Now, he was just sitting there,
and then a random guy came up to
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			him. And, you know, he started
chatting with him. And
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:31
			Malibu Harry told him, You know,
I'm going, you know, to that place
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:37
			for for business purposes. And I
have with me 100,000 dinars, you
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			know, 100 100,000 dinars. It's an
equivalent of a quarter million
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:46
			dollars. That's a lot of money at
that time. So then I had this
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:51
			100,000 dinars, and I'm actually
pursuing that business. So we're
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			traveling towards that
destination.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			And this guy who was talking to
Imam Bukhari was a man with low
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			character who was out
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			Today a thief.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			So what he did
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:10
			he spread the news that he lost
100,000 dinars.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:17
			Do you know, what did he do here?
He flipped it around. He said to
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:23
			everybody, I lost 100,000 dinars.
Now when actually the captain and
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:27
			the police will look for this
100,000 dinars they will find it
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:32
			with who Emmanuel Bukhari so
remember, Harry was in a very hard
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:38
			situation now what's going to
happen now the captain decided to
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:44
			search the ship from the top to
the bottom. The wanted to actually
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			see who stole this 100,000 dinars.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:57
			Emmanuel bahariya At this point,
did something very unique. He
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:57
			actually
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:07
			put the money on his on his sleeve
and went all the way to the top of
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:07
			the ship
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			and threw the money in the water
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:18
			was something unexpected why you
put it why would you put the money
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			in your sleeve like this going all
the way to the top and then
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			through quarter million dollars.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:32
			And then when the search the ship,
they couldn't find anything? So
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:36
			the thief came to Malmo Buhari and
told him, come on, where did you
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			hide the money?
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			I know you have that money. So
remember how you told him you
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:47
			know, I throw the money in the
water. This like, are you fool.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			You just got to throw all of this
money to the water, you could have
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			just defended yourself. And
honestly, like he can remember how
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			he knows the characteristics of
this money. He can easily prove
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:04
			that this money is his. But listen
to what Emmanuel Buhari said. He
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:13
			said, I've worked all of my life
to make my credibility clean.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			For the hadith of Rasulullah,
sallAllahu wasallam to be accepted
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:18
			from me.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			And I'm not willing, I'm not
willing to compensate this. This
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:30
			is more worse than 100,000 dinars.
So I would rather get rid of the
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:36
			100,000 dinars for my credibility,
to be very clean for my
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:40
			reputation, to not be challenged.
May Allah subhanaw taala make us
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:45
			among those who are very cautious
about our credibility. Zack Kamala
