Ibn Taym, Ibn Murrah, Ibn Qa'b, Ibn

00:00:03 --> 00:00:03

Nu'aym.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

His mother was Sa'bah bint Hadramah.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

She embraced Islam and Talha embraced Islam early.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

He embraced Islam very early on, from amongst

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

the earliest of companions, he embraced Islam at

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

an early age.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him with

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

Sa'id ibn Zayd before going to the

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

Battle of Badr to spy on the convoy.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

So he sent him to go and spy

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

on the convoy that was coming to Badr.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

He sent him with Sa'id to go

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

and see who is coming and what kind

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

of enemy are we facing.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

So he sent him with them.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

When it passed by them, he sent news

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that these

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

are who are coming, like this is what's

00:00:47 --> 00:00:47

coming.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

So he was sent as basically a scout.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

Scout to give him the information on who's

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

coming to approach them at the Battle of

00:00:54 --> 00:00:54

Badr.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

In the meanwhile, when he returned to Medina,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

he did not know the Prophet ﷺ's departure

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

to Badr.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

When they arrived there, the Prophet ﷺ was

00:01:06 --> 00:01:10

already facing the infidels of the Quraysh at

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

the Battle of Badr.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

So they went after the Messenger of Allah

00:01:13 --> 00:01:17

ﷺ and they met him on his return

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

from Badr.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

So the battle had already taken place.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

The Muslims had already won and they were

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

on their way back and they ran into

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

Talha ibn Ubaidullah ﷺ.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

But when he met them, he had saved

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

for him and Sa'id a share of

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

the spoils of war because they had participated

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

in the battle.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

So he gave them the exact same shares

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

of the spoils of war as those who

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

participated in the battle.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

So he is considered to be one of

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

those who participated in the Battle of Badr.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

Maybe he didn't actually have to plot his

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

sword and fight, but he played a pivotal

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

role in giving information to the Prophet ﷺ

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

of who was coming.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

Talha r.a witnessed the Battle of Uhud.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

Uhud was basically like the making point of

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

Talha ibn Ubaidullah.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

The Battle of Uhud we know was one

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

of the hardest and most difficult battles that

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

the Prophet ﷺ and his companions faced.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25

Talha ibn Ubaidullah earned his share of Jannah

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

on that day.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

He witnessed the Battle of Uhud.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

He stood firm on that day.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

When the Battle of Uhud was taking place,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

and that's also one of the things we

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

had planned after we get to the series,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

I had planned to discuss the different battles

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

and what took place.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

When confusion took place amongst the Muslims, the

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

archers had left their position, and Khalid ibn

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

Walid took advantage and routed the Muslims.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

There were people who were spreading the message

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

because the Prophet ﷺ had been struck, and

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

they said he has died.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

There were people, there were Muslims who were

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

just sitting down.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

They were literally just sitting down on the

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

battlefield saying that there's nothing left to fight

00:03:06 --> 00:03:06

for.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

There's nothing left.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

There's nothing for us.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

There's no hope for us.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

The one who was rallying them we know

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

was Mus'ab ibn Umair, which I'm going

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

to tell you his story one day as

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

well.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

But there were a group of companions who

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

said, No, the Prophet ﷺ is alive, and

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

he is still fighting, so rally around him.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

So they surrounded him.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

They surrounded him.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

And Talha ibn Ubaidullah was one of those

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

ones that stood firm in the front standing

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

in front of the Prophet ﷺ while the

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

Meccans were saying that this is our chance,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

let's try to kill him.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

He protected him with his hand, and he

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

was injured so severely that two of his

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

fingers were paralyzed.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

And that day he got between, some say

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

24, but the more authentic narration is that

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

he received over 70 wounds from spears and

00:03:54 --> 00:03:59

swords on that day defending the Prophet ﷺ.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06

The Messenger of Allah called him Talha al

00:04:06 --> 00:04:06

-Khayr.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

He called him Talha al-Khayr.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

Talha, the good one.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

On the day of Uhud, he called him

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

Talha al-Qayyad.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

Talha, the open-handed.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

Talha, the one whose hands are open.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

On the day of the battle of Dha

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

'at al-Ashirah, he called him Talha al

00:04:30 --> 00:04:30

-Judd.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

Talha, basically of generosity.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

Talha, the one who brings generosity.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

On the day of Hunayn, excuse me, that

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

was what he called him on the day

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

of Hunayn.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

He, radhiAllahu anhu, had dark skin and thick

00:04:49 --> 00:04:49

hair.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

His hair was neither completely curly, nor was

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

it completely straight.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

He had good facial features and was thin,

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

but he did not dye his hair.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

From his lineage, he had, which you have

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

to also understand about, when you see all

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

of these, the companions followed the orders and

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, and he

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

said, have many children.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

Have as many children as you can possibly

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

have, because I want my Ummah to be

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

the largest Ummah.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

So he had Muhammad, known as al-Sajjad.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

His eldest son was known as al-Sajjad,

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

meaning the one who prostrates frequently.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

He was killed with him, his son, Muhammad,

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

his eldest son was killed with him on

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

the day of the battle of al-Jamal.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

The battle of al-Jamal, we'll talk about

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

one day, but it was the battle that

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

happened at the caliphate of Ali ibn Abi

00:05:40 --> 00:05:40

Talib.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

And he also had Imran from Hamnah bint

00:05:46 --> 00:05:46

Jahsh.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

He had Musa from Khawla bint Qa'aqa.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

He had Ya'qub, who was killed in

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

the battle of al-Hara, and Ismail Ishaq

00:05:56 --> 00:06:00

from Umm Iban bint Utbah ibn Rabi'ah.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:04

He had Zakariya, Yusuf, and Aisha from Umm

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

Khulthum, who is Umm Khulthum?

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

If you've been listening to any of this,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

you'll know who Umm Khulthum was.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

Who was she the daughter of?

00:06:15 --> 00:06:19

After him, Abu Bakr.

00:06:20 --> 00:06:24

Abu Bakr al-Sadiq married Talha ibn Ubaidullah

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

to his daughter, Umm Khulthum.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

And she gave him Zakariya, Yusuf, and Aisha.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

Isa and Yahya came from Sa'dah bint Auf.

00:06:34 --> 00:06:39

Umm Ishaq who was married to Umm Ishaq

00:06:39 --> 00:06:43

was the daughter of Talha ibn Ubaidullah.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

He married her to Hassan ibn Ali ibn

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

Abi Talib.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

One of the youth of al-Jannah.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

So you see the close connection to these

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

people, these great men.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

They really tied connections together.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

They loved each other for the sake of

00:06:58 --> 00:06:58

Allah.

00:06:58 --> 00:07:03

They knew the honor and dignity of each

00:07:03 --> 00:07:03

other.

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

May Allah be pleased with all of them.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:10

He also had Maryam from Aban woman and

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

Salih whose mother was al-Fa'ira.

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

Abdullah ibn al-Zubair r.a once said,

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

I heard the messenger of Allah s.a

00:07:22 --> 00:07:26

.w. saying that day, meaning the day of

00:07:26 --> 00:07:26

Uhud.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

He was saying that day, meaning the day

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

of Uhud.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

Paradise became obligatory for Talha when he aided

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

the messenger of Allah.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

Meaning when Talha squatted so that the Prophet

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

s.a.w. could climb on his back.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

Because they were backed in the corner.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

During the day of Uhud the companions were

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

backed into a corner at the foot of

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

Mount Uhud.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

And they started to climb upon it.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

Talha got down on his hands and knees

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

so that the Prophet s.a.w. while

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

everyone stood in front of him, Talha went

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

back and got down on his hands and

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

knees so the Prophet s.a.w. could

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

stand on his shoulders and reach a boulder

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

to climb upon Mount Uhud.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

And the Prophet s.a.w. said that

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

Paradise was guaranteed to Talha on that day

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

when he aided the messenger of Allah s

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

.a.w. And this is narrated in the

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

Musnad of Imam Ahlan.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

Aisha r.a said when Abu Bakr talked

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

about the day of Uhud, we're talking about

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

Abu Bakr now.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

When Abu Bakr would ever mention the day

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

of Uhud, he would say that is the

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

day of Talha.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

He would say that day was the day

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

of Talha ibn Ubaidullah.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

We know the story.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

I'll tell you the story if you don't

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

know the story of Mus'ab ibn Umair.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:50

The two heroes of that day was Mus

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

'ab ibn Umair because Mus'ab ibn Umair

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

while while Talha and the other companions were

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

protecting the Prophet s.a.w., Mus'ab

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

ibn Umair was distracting the army.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

He was distracting the army because he was

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

given the flag on that day.

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

He was distracting the army and if you

00:09:08 --> 00:09:09

don't know, I'm going to give you just

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

a short brief and we'll go through it

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

in shorter detail.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

He lost both of his arms on that

00:09:15 --> 00:09:15

day.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

It is said that when his one arm

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

was chopped off that was holding the flag,

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

he bent down and picked it up with

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

the other one and he kept reciting the

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

verse of Allah that the messengers before him

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

have died because he didn't know whether the

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

Prophet s.a.w. was dead or not.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

The word had come to him.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

Another word had come to him.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

It didn't matter.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

He kept reciting the message of Allah has

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

passed away before him and he picked up

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

the flag with the other hand and he

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

started fighting until they cut off that arm.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:44

Then what did he do?

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

Did he sit down and say, I'm done.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

My job was to hold the flag.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

Allah gave me two hands.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

I lost both of them so I think

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

I'm pretty exempt from this day.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

No, he reached down and picked it up

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

with his teeth.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

They were different.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:12

Their dedication to Allah was with every fiber

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

of their being.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

There was no questioning.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

There was no question.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

He picked it up with his teeth and

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

he kept fighting until he finally was martyred

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

on that day and then they stomped him.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

They beat him into the ground.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

They dismembered him.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

But when the Prophet s.a.w. came

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

down after I get teary eyed when I

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

talk about Musab because if you know his

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

story, he's on my very short list of

00:10:42 --> 00:10:42

companions.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

If Allah allows me to make it to

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

Jannah, he's on my short list.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

When they found, when they came down from

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

Ahad, the Prophet s.a.w. I know

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

we're talking about making a small divergence.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

There was a few people he was looking

00:10:57 --> 00:10:57

for.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

He was looking for his uncle Hamza.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

We know what happened to Hamza.

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

He was looking for Ja'far.

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

He was, and then he was asking, where

00:11:08 --> 00:11:08

is Musab?

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

Musab was the first person he ever sent

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

as a delegate from himself.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

One of the youngest of the companions who

00:11:16 --> 00:11:20

went through so much made both immigrations to

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

Abyssinia.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

Came from a life of luxury, wealth.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27

He came from such a prestigious family and

00:11:27 --> 00:11:28

he left it all for the sake of

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

Allah s.w.t. It is said about

00:11:30 --> 00:11:34

Musab that the people who knew him before,

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

when they would see him in Medina, he

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

would come and sit at the halaq of

00:11:37 --> 00:11:37

the companions.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

They would cry looking at him because he

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

was so small and thin because of his

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

own starvation and he was wearing the worst

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

of clothing.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:49

And they knew who he was.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

This is Musab.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

He gave up everything.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

And when the Prophet s.w.t. found

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

him, there is somewhat of weak narration that

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

said that, Oh Musab, you did not leave

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

anything that you didn't sacrifice for the sake

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

of Allah s.w.t. You left nothing.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

You gave away your wealth.

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10

You gave away your family.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

You gave away your prestige.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:14

Now you gave away your arms.

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

You gave away your life.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

You stomped into the ground.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:18

You didn't leave anything left.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

And it is said that when they went

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

to his house, the Prophet s.w.t.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

said, Go to his house and get his

00:12:27 --> 00:12:27

belongings.

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

Distribute his belongings and find his coffin.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:35

Because the difference between the companions and us

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

is that almost all of them always possessed

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

a shroud.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

Because they knew that death was real.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

So they would keep in their property part

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

of their property was what they would be

00:12:46 --> 00:12:46

buried in.

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

They said when they brought Musab ibn Umair's

00:12:51 --> 00:12:56

belongings, he had a bowl and a pot.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

That's what he made wudu with.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:02

And he had maybe three quarters of a

00:13:02 --> 00:13:02

cup.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

Three quarters of it.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

He did not even possess enough in this

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08

world to have enough cloth to properly be

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

buried.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

And it is said when they tried to

00:13:11 --> 00:13:13

bury him, they would cover his head with

00:13:13 --> 00:13:14

his coffin and his feet would stick out.

00:13:15 --> 00:13:16

If they tried from the feet, the head

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

would stick out.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

So the Prophet s.w.t. said, Let

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

his head be covered and then cover his

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

feet with lemongrass.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

And he put him in the ground and

00:13:24 --> 00:13:29

he said that he saw that Allah had

00:13:29 --> 00:13:33

replaced the arms of Musab ibn Umair with

00:13:33 --> 00:13:33

wings.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:37

These men were different.

00:13:37 --> 00:13:41

That day belonged to Musab ibn Umair and

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

Talha ibn Ubaidullah.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47

Talha ibn Ubaidullah and Musab ibn Umair protected

00:13:47 --> 00:13:50

the Prophet s.w.t. till the last.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56

Abu Bakr r.a said, I was the

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57

first to return on the day of Ahad.

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

So the messenger of Allah s.w.t.

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

said to me in Abu Ubaidah ibn Arjarrah.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

If you know who Abu Ubaidah, we'll talk

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

about him as well.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

Abu Ubaidah ibn Arjarrah was the one who

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

would eventually take over Al-Quds for the

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

Muslims.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

He would take over Al-Quds and hand

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

over the keys of it to Umar ibn

00:14:17 --> 00:14:21

Al-Khattab r.a. And he comes on

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

later in this series.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:26

He said, when I saw Abu Ubaidah ibn

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

Arjarrah, he said, Please go and help him.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

Speaking about Talha because he had been injured

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

so severely.

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36

We treated the Prophet s.w.t. wounds

00:14:36 --> 00:14:36

first.

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

Of course, even if you went to the

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

companions, they would have told you go to

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

him first.

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

This is another thing we talk about in

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

one of the battles where one of the

00:14:45 --> 00:14:48

women said that she was going around to

00:14:48 --> 00:14:48

help the injured.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

We'll talk about this later on.

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

I'll give you the specifics.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

Trying to give them water and every time

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

she said she would go to one, he

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

would say, No, go give it to my

00:14:56 --> 00:14:56

brother.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:57

He needs it more.

00:14:58 --> 00:14:58

And then she would go to him and

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

he'd say, No, go give it to my

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

brother.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:00

He needs it more.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:01

She would go.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

It kept on happening until finally she ended

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

up back at the first one and they'd

00:15:05 --> 00:15:05

all die.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:07

They'd all die.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

That is what they understood when they heard

00:15:14 --> 00:15:18

the verse Innamal mu'minoona ikhwa It meant something

00:15:18 --> 00:15:18

to them.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

It meant something to them.

00:15:22 --> 00:15:22

They were different.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

We then found Talha in one of a

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

hole, in one of these holes, like they

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

were hiding in the holes of Mount Uhud.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

They found Talha laying in one.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:40

Abu Bakr said he had 70 something, more

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

or less, 70 something wounds made by sores,

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

fears, and arrows.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

His fingers were cut.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

This is how he became paralyzed in part

00:15:50 --> 00:15:50

of one of his hands.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

So he treated his wounds and protected the

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

Prophet ﷺ on that day.

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

This is in the collection of Imam Abu

00:15:59 --> 00:16:00

Bakr.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

Musa ibn Talha, this is one of the

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

sons of Talha ibn Ubaidullah said that my

00:16:08 --> 00:16:14

father Talha ibn Ubaidullah said when the messenger

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

of Allah returned from Uhud, when he returned

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

from the Battle of Uhud, he went straight

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

to his masjid and he stood on the

00:16:21 --> 00:16:21

minbar.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:23

He stood on the minbar.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

He glorified Allah ﷻ and praised him.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

And then he recited مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الرِّجَالُ الصَّدَقُ

00:16:31 --> 00:16:36

وَأَهَدُ اللَّهُ That there are some people, there

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

are some believers who were true to their

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

promise to Allah ﷻ.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

There are some believers that were true to

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

their promise of Allah ﷻ.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

And some of them have received their reward,

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

meaning they're buried right there in Uhud.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

For those of you who've made umrah or

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

hajj and you've gone to Medina, you've seen

00:16:55 --> 00:16:55

Uhud.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

Unfortunately there are people who go and do

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

crazy things now, so they've had to put

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

a fence around it.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

But if you stand on the hill, you

00:17:00 --> 00:17:03

look over and see the shuhada of Uhud

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

are still there today.

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

Their bodies are there.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

I remember giving a lecture.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:10

SubhanAllah.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

There are certain memories that you have, you

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

know, of traveling for 26 years that pop

00:17:14 --> 00:17:15

up from time to time.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

I remember taking a youth group to umrah.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

This was in maybe 2010, 2011.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

And I was standing on one of the

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

hills that you can stand on, where you

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

can look over and see the shuhada of

00:17:27 --> 00:17:27

Uhud.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

And I was telling the story of Musaib

00:17:30 --> 00:17:30

ibn Umair.

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

And subhanAllah, that day it began raining.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

It began raining out of nowhere.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

And for those of you who've spent any

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

time in Saudi, rain is a rare event.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

It started raining.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

And I remember telling everyone there, you can

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

look over that fence all you want.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

And it's funny how that there are people

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

that go there and do crazy things, right?

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

And I said, you can look over there

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

all you want.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

Their bodies might be buried there, but their

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

souls aren't there.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

Their souls are not there.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

The rest of us, all of us, go

00:18:04 --> 00:18:04

to Baqeeh.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

The souls of the believers are all there.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:08

Most of them.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:12

I said, but every single person in this

00:18:12 --> 00:18:16

graveyard, their souls are in green birds that

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

are hanging off the throne of Allah.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

That are resting in the lanterns that hang

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

off the throne of Allah.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

That is the real story of the shuhada

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

of Ahad.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

So the Prophet ﷺ recited the verse that

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

there are some that were true to the

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

oath of Allah and some of them have

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

already received the reward and there are others

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

who are waiting to receive it.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

So a man stood up in the masjid.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:44

A man stood up in the masjid of

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

the Prophet ﷺ and said, Who are they?

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

Who are these people that Allah is speaking

00:18:53 --> 00:18:53

about?

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

Because this verse was revealed to the Prophets.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

This is one of the asbab al-nuzul

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

of this verse from Surah al-Ahzab.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

It was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ on

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

his way back from the battle of Ahad.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:06

He recited it for the first time that

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

day.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

So the companion stood up and said, Who

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

are these people?

00:19:13 --> 00:19:18

Sa'd ibn Auf said, Talha entered excuse me,

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

the Prophet ﷺ saying this verse and then

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

Talha is saying, I walked into the masjid

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

as this verse was being recited.

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

He's walking in as the Prophet ﷺ is

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

reciting this verse because he'd been wounded and

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

treated.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

You can imagine the scene.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

He's coming in, 70 bandages on him, fingers

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

cut, hand paralyzed.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

He's walking in the masjid and the Prophet

00:19:39 --> 00:19:45

ﷺ then said, O inquirer, who is asking?

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

He pointed to Talha and he said, There's

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

one of them.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

That's one of them right there.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

How beautiful of a time was that to

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

be around and to be able to see

00:19:58 --> 00:19:58

these things.

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

To be able to see things being revealed.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

This is why we talk about these stories.

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

We keep them alive so that we can

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

try to relive these moments to understand what

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

these people were made of.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

They were made of something different than you

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

or I and it had nothing to do

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

with the flesh of their bodies.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

Their flesh was the same as our flesh.

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

It had nothing to do with their clothes.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:21

They're made out of fabric.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

What was different than them than us was

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

what was right here in their chest.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:27

Their hearts.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

Their hearts were different.

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

One of the Tabi'een asked one of

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, When you

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

guys won all these victories, was it because

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

you were greater in number?

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

Was it because you had more military might,

00:20:42 --> 00:20:43

more arms?

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

What was it?

00:20:45 --> 00:20:45

He said no.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

We were always smaller in number.

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

We were always outnumbered.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

We always had less weaponry.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

We were always weaker from our fasting and

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

our hunger and our starvation.

00:20:58 --> 00:21:02

He said but what we had was we

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

had hearts that never failed us.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

Our hearts never failed us while the hearts

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

of our enemies always failed them.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:13

Our hearts never failed us because a heart

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

that is attached to Allah doesn't fail.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

A heart that is attached to Allah has

00:21:18 --> 00:21:21

the power that Allah ﷻ gives it.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

Istiqamatul janaan.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

A heart that doesn't shake.

00:21:25 --> 00:21:26

It doesn't move.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

It doesn't break.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

While the heart of the munafiqeen and the

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

disbelievers they're weak.

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

And anytime they're met with opposition we've seen

00:21:37 --> 00:21:37

it.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:39

Look across the world right now.

00:21:40 --> 00:21:44

When they're met with any opposition they run

00:21:44 --> 00:21:44

like animals.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

Because that's what they are deep down inside.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

But the believer he looks at death like

00:21:50 --> 00:21:50

a warm friend.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

Death is a welcomed reality.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

He knows it's coming and he knows if

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

he dies at the moment when Allah ﷻ

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

is pleased with him then he's going to

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

meet everything he's ever wanted.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

His whole life the believer has only wanted

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

one thing to meet Allah ﷻ pleased with

00:22:09 --> 00:22:12

with Allah ﷻ being pleased with him and

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

death is the catalyst to that.

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

So when he sees death it's a welcome

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20

friend so that his believer, for the hypocrite

00:22:20 --> 00:22:22

death is an enemy.

00:22:22 --> 00:22:25

For the Muslim death is not an enemy.

00:22:25 --> 00:22:28

It's just an end to what is temporary

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

and a beginning to what is forever.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:36

Sa'dah bin Ta'uf said that Talha entered

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

upon me one day and he saw that

00:22:38 --> 00:22:39

I was distressed.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

So he asked me, what is the matter

00:22:41 --> 00:22:41

with you?

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

He said this is Talha ibn Ubaidullah by

00:22:46 --> 00:22:47

the way this is what Talha is saying

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

because Talha is distressed.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:49

He's worried.

00:22:50 --> 00:22:51

You can see it in his face.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

Your wife normally knows your disposition, right?

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

She knows when you're happy, when you're sad,

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

when you're angry she can read you like

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

a book.

00:23:00 --> 00:23:01

She's like, what's wrong with you?

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

He said, I'm distressed.

00:23:02 --> 00:23:03

Why are you distressed?

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

Listen to why he's distressed.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

These men were just different.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

He said, I have increased in money.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

I've become wealthy and it's bothering.

00:23:20 --> 00:23:23

Most of us, we'd go home and have

00:23:23 --> 00:23:26

the biggest smile on our face telling our

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

wives, you know, jump online you remember that

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

bag you wanted, you remember all those things,

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

we're buying a bigger house bigger car, you

00:23:33 --> 00:23:33

know, this is a good day.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:37

Talha is telling his wife I've become wealthy

00:23:37 --> 00:23:39

and it's worrying, bothering.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

She's saying I said, do not trouble yourself

00:23:46 --> 00:23:47

then just give it away.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49

Don't trouble yourself.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

How many of our how many of our

00:23:55 --> 00:23:56

wives would tell us that?

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

These men and women were built different.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

She's saying, give it away then.

00:24:00 --> 00:24:02

If it's bothering you give it away.

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

So he distributed it until not a single

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

dirham remained.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:13

Talha ibn Yahya said I asked Talha's treasurer

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

the person who kept Talha's money, how much

00:24:17 --> 00:24:17

did he give away?

00:24:17 --> 00:24:18

How much was it?

00:24:19 --> 00:24:23

He said it was 400,000 dirhams.

00:24:23 --> 00:24:24

400,000 dirhams.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:25

He wouldn't sleep.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

He couldn't sleep because he knew that wealth

00:24:29 --> 00:24:29

was a burden.

00:24:30 --> 00:24:33

He knew that the poor would enter paradise.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

The Prophet ﷺ said years and years, some

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

40 years, 70 years, different narrations before the

00:24:40 --> 00:24:40

rich.

00:24:41 --> 00:24:43

So he said, this is a burden to

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

me.

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

40,000 dirhams.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

He didn't sleep, so he gave it away.

00:24:51 --> 00:24:55

Al-Hasan رضي الله عنه ورضاه Al-Hasan

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

should know a little bit about Talha ibn

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

Ubaidullah.

00:24:58 --> 00:24:58

Why?

00:24:59 --> 00:24:59

Just said it a minute ago.

00:24:59 --> 00:25:02

Why should he know something about Talha?

00:25:03 --> 00:25:07

Who was Talha to Al-Hasan ibn Ali?

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

It's his father-in-law.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

He should know something about him.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

Al-Hasan stated Talha sold an estate that

00:25:17 --> 00:25:22

he had for 700,000 dirhams.

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

700,000 dirhams.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:23

700,000 dirhams.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:25

He sold an entire estate that he had

00:25:25 --> 00:25:27

for 700,000 dirhams.

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

This money only stayed in his house for

00:25:30 --> 00:25:30

one night.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

This money that he made, 700,000 dirhams.

00:25:35 --> 00:25:35

That's a wealth.

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

That's generational wealth at that time.

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

It stayed in his house for one night.

00:25:41 --> 00:25:44

During which he could not sleep from the

00:25:44 --> 00:25:45

dread of that money.

00:25:46 --> 00:25:49

In the morning, he had distributed every single

00:25:49 --> 00:25:49

bit of it.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

And this is narrated by Imam Ahmed.

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

These men were just built different.

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

This world mattered very little to them.

00:25:57 --> 00:25:57

Very little.

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

They used every bit of it to purchase

00:26:00 --> 00:26:01

the next life.

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

We're purchasing homes.

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

We're purchasing cars.

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

We're purchasing all kinds of nonsense.

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

What they were looking for is what can

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

I purchase in the akhirah?

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

What can I buy in the next life?

00:26:15 --> 00:26:16

What can I build in that world that

00:26:16 --> 00:26:17

I'll live forever?

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

Talha ibn al-Baytullah was one of those

00:26:20 --> 00:26:20

people.

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

He sold the property in the morning and

00:26:23 --> 00:26:26

he would not sleep until all of its

00:26:26 --> 00:26:29

sale was distributed before he could wake up

00:26:29 --> 00:26:29

in the morning.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

And all of this is happening.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

Does anybody know where all of this is

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

happening by the way at this time and

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

period in Islamic history?

00:26:39 --> 00:26:39

Anybody?

00:26:41 --> 00:26:41

You should know.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

It's your home, right?

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

This is all happening in Iraq at the

00:26:46 --> 00:26:46

time.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

Because at this time, the capital, as I

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

told you, the capital of the khalifa had

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

been moved to where?

00:26:54 --> 00:26:54

Kufa.

00:26:55 --> 00:26:56

It had been moved to Kufa at the

00:26:56 --> 00:26:56

time.

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

This was all happening in Baghdad.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

He also reported that Talha ibn al-Baytullah

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

sold the land which he had been given

00:27:05 --> 00:27:07

by Uthman ibn Affan.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

Uthman ibn Affan had given Talha ibn al

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

-Baytullah a large section of land and Talha

00:27:13 --> 00:27:14

sold it.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:19

He sold it for 700,000 dirhams which

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

was carried to him.

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

It was brought to him.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

When the money bearer arrived, Talha said, A

00:27:24 --> 00:27:27

man who sleeps with this in his house,

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

unknowing what may befall him of Allah's fate,

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

is a naive and ignorant man.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

He told the man bringing the money, that

00:27:36 --> 00:27:39

any man who sleeps at night with this

00:27:39 --> 00:27:42

in his house, unaware of the fate that

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

could befall him, not knowing if he's gonna

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

wake up in the morning and all of

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

this gonna be left.

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

Meaning that what?

00:27:48 --> 00:27:51

If he dies that night, what happens to

00:27:51 --> 00:27:52

that 700,000 dirhams?

00:27:53 --> 00:27:54

It becomes inheritance.

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

It benefits him in no way.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

No way does it benefit him whatsoever.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:00

So what does he do?

00:28:01 --> 00:28:02

He gives it all away.

00:28:02 --> 00:28:07

So he told the man throughout the night,

00:28:07 --> 00:28:10

he sent the messenger to keep distributing it

00:28:10 --> 00:28:12

and sent it to the streets of Kufa

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

and Medina.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:14

He said, Send this to the people of

00:28:14 --> 00:28:15

Medina.

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

Because Kufa had become very kind of wealthy

00:28:17 --> 00:28:18

at the time.

00:28:18 --> 00:28:19

So he sent it to the people of

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

Medina.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

And when the dog came, he had no

00:28:24 --> 00:28:25

dirham left of it.

00:28:26 --> 00:28:28

700,000 distributed in one night.

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

Because he knew, if I wake up in

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

the morning, if I don't wake up in

00:28:31 --> 00:28:33

the morning, this doesn't benefit me.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:35

And if I do wake up in the

00:28:35 --> 00:28:38

morning, the Prophet ﷺ had made a promise,

00:28:38 --> 00:28:42

man, he had made the promise that, the

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

hadith says, that's my mind.

00:28:43 --> 00:28:47

You cannot decrease wealth by giving charity.

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

You cannot decrease wealth by giving charity.

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

So he knew, if I give away 700

00:28:52 --> 00:28:56

,000 tonight, Allah has already begun the process

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

of multiplying it and returning it to me.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

This was their understanding of the truth of

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

Allah ﷻ in His words.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

Sa'dah ibn Auf, one of his wives again,

00:29:08 --> 00:29:14

said, one day, Talha donated 100,000 dirham

00:29:14 --> 00:29:15

in one day.

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

But then he could not go to the

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

masjid because I had to repair his stove.

00:29:21 --> 00:29:24

Basically, he had spent all day long in

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

the streets distributing 100,000 dirhams.

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

But because of, you know, running around with

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

bags, they didn't have, you know, there was

00:29:32 --> 00:29:33

no PayPal in square.

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

He had bags of his money.

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

He's dragging himself through the streets.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

He'd torn his stove all to pieces.

00:29:38 --> 00:29:39

And he had come home and his wife

00:29:39 --> 00:29:40

had to repair it for him.

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

And it prevented him from going to the

00:29:42 --> 00:29:42

masjid.

00:29:42 --> 00:29:43

This is a story his wife is telling

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

about.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

His death.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

Talha ibn Ubaidullah was killed along with many

00:29:52 --> 00:29:53

eminent companions.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:55

We'll talk about this battle one day and

00:29:55 --> 00:29:55

its real implications.

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

But he was killed with his oldest son,

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

Muhammad radhiAllahu anhuma.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

May Allah be pleased with both of them.

00:30:03 --> 00:30:04

In the battle of Al-Jamal.

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

This was a battle that took place at

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

the khalifah of Ali ibn Abi Talib.

00:30:10 --> 00:30:14

Because of disagreements about the way that the

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

murder of Uthman ibn Affan was handled.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

We'll try to dig through that and sift

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

through the truths, the lies, the narratives, etc.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

One day inshaAllah it's a very, very deep

00:30:22 --> 00:30:25

subject and it's caused great division in this

00:30:25 --> 00:30:26

ummah.

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

But the battle of Jamal and this was

00:30:29 --> 00:30:31

also a battle that was partaken by one

00:30:31 --> 00:30:32

of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ.

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

But if you really read the true narratives

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

and the true stories of the way that

00:30:36 --> 00:30:37

it happened and the way that he treated

00:30:37 --> 00:30:42

her, radhiAllahu anha, you'll know the reality of

00:30:42 --> 00:30:42

the matter.

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

But anyway, Salihah ibn Ubaidullah and his son,

00:30:45 --> 00:30:49

his eldest son Muhammad radhiAllahu anhu died in

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

this battle and it was on Thursday, the

00:30:52 --> 00:30:57

20th of Jumad Al-Akhir in the 36th

00:30:57 --> 00:30:58

year of the Hijrah.

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

It is said that an arrow came towards

00:31:01 --> 00:31:03

him and pierced him through the throat.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

The person standing next to him said an

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

arrow pierced him.

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

You'll read this in the narratives that an

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

arrow came and pierced him in the throat

00:31:10 --> 00:31:15

and his response was, qadroAllahi mashafa anha.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

That was his response.

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

His response in that was, it is the

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

will of Allah He does whatever He pleases.

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

And those would be the very last words

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

of Salihah ibn Ubaidullah.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

It is also said that Marwan ibn al

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

-Hakam killed him and he was buried in

00:31:33 --> 00:31:35

Basra at the age of 60.

00:31:35 --> 00:31:38

Some say 62 and others say 64 years

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

of age.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:44

Salihah ibn Ubaidullah the reason why I chose

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

him to be next after the Khalifah Rashidun

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

is because of the fact that in one

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

of the hardest days of the Muslim ummah,

00:31:52 --> 00:31:56

the day of Ahad Musa ibn Umair and

00:31:56 --> 00:31:59

Salihah were the victors of that day.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

They were the victors of that day.

00:32:01 --> 00:32:04

Musa ibn Umair protected the Prophet ﷺ by

00:32:04 --> 00:32:09

destruction and Talha protected the Prophet ﷺ by

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

standing right next to him and taking the

00:32:11 --> 00:32:14

sword stabs, the spears the wounds for him

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

and allowing the Prophet ﷺ to escape.

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

And the fact that on that day, that

00:32:19 --> 00:32:23

verse one of the verses that strikes me

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

very near to the heart where Allah says

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

that there were some that were true to

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

their promise.

00:32:28 --> 00:32:29

They were true to their promise.

00:32:30 --> 00:32:34

Allah confers His love for those people on

00:32:34 --> 00:32:34

that day.

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

Some were true to their promise and they

00:32:36 --> 00:32:38

received the reward and others are still waiting.

00:32:39 --> 00:32:40

And that man stood up and said, who

00:32:40 --> 00:32:40

are they?

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

He pointed directly to Talha who was walking

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

in wounded and he said, I was wearing

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

two red garments that were covering, excuse me,

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

two green garments that were covering me.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

And he pointed to him and said, Oh,

00:32:51 --> 00:32:52

who is inquiring?

00:32:52 --> 00:32:53

Oh, questioner?

00:32:54 --> 00:32:56

There's one of them right there.

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

This was Talha ibn Ubaidullah.

00:32:59 --> 00:33:00

These men were cut.

00:33:01 --> 00:33:02

Have you heard the statement cut from a

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

different cloth?

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

Yeah, they were cut from a different cloth.

00:33:06 --> 00:33:11

When it came time to put action to

00:33:11 --> 00:33:13

words, they did it without question.

00:33:14 --> 00:33:17

Now we have a generation of words without

00:33:17 --> 00:33:18

action.

00:33:18 --> 00:33:20

We have a generation of humans with no

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

humanity.

00:33:21 --> 00:33:22

We're living like animals again.

00:33:23 --> 00:33:23

It's unfortunate reality.

00:33:24 --> 00:33:25

But these men hopefully
