00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Mohammed Al Aswat
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			from
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			Umama bint Al As. He had Al Hassan
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			and Rumbla bint, Al Kubra from
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			Saad
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			bint Urwa.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			He also had Umkhani,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Nafisa, and Salama from various mothers in addition
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			to another daughter whose name was not narrated
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			who died very young. So Ali had plenty
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			of children, which was the sunnah of the
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			Prophet
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			He said have children. He said I have
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			children. I want my ummah to be the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			largest sunnah out there. So get married and
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			have children.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			We're not talking to you Syrian. We don't
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			want children from you. But anyway, he said,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			you know, I want my Ummah to be
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			the largest Ummah out there.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			Abu Maryam
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			reported that Ali, radiallahu an, once said, I
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			headed out with the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			sallam until we reached the Ka'aba. And then
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			said to me, crouch down, and he climbed
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			on my shoulders.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			When I tried to stand up while carrying,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			him, he noticed my difficulty,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			so he came down and he crouched for
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			me and he said, get on my shoulders.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			He carried me and stood up, and it
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			seemed to me that I would be able
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			to reach the sky's horizon if I wished,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			until I climbed on the house and found
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			a copper and brass statue on top of
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			it. I kept trying to move it from
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			the left to the right, the front to
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			the back till I was able to move
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			it. So the Messenger of Allah
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			said to me, throw it down. So I
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			threw it down and it broke like glass.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Then I descended after which the Messenger of
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			Allah
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			and I raised each other until we hid
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			amongst the houses, lest someone is see would
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			see us. And this is narrated
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			by Imam Ahmed. So they climbed up, took
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			a took an idol, threw it down, broke
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			it, and then took off running.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			This was, their their relationship together.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			Sahal ibn Sa'ad
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			reported that on the day of the battle
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			of Khaybar,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			the prophet
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			you should know this is a very, very
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			famous hadith. On the day of the battle
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			of Khaybar, it's a very big battle. It's
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			a very,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			monumental battle for the Muslims. It it played
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			a huge significant role in the life of
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			the prophet
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			He said, tomorrow I will give the flag
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			to someone who will be given victory by
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			Allah
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			and who loves Allah and His Messenger
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			and who is loved by Allah and His
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			Messenger. It's a beautiful thing to be told.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			He said, Tomorrow I will give the flag
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			to someone who will be given victory by
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			Allah, and not only does he love Allah
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			and His Messenger, he is loved by Allah
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			and His Messenger.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Therefore, all night the people
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			would not sleep because they were wondering who
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			is this flag going to begin. All night
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			they're thinking who is this person? Who is
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			this person?
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			And then everyone hoped that they would be
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			that one. Then the next morning, the Prophet
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			said, Where is Ali?
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			Where is Ali?
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			They said he is suffering from an eye
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			infection,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			therefore he can't see. Like he had some
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			kind of eye affection, maybe,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			you know, something had gotten his eyes, something
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			that affected him, some stents or whatever, but
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			he couldn't see. So the Prophet
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			said, send for him anyway.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			So he brought him, and the Messenger of
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:22
			Allah
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			spit in his own hands,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			used his own saliva, and wiped it over
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Ali's eyes.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			At once, he was cured as if he
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			had never had any ailment. And Ali is
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			being reported to us, said, after that, my
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			eyesight was
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			was like eagle eye vision. Like, he had
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			2020 vision for the rest of his life
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			after this, after the prophet
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			did this.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			The prophet, Lesilah,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			gave him the flag, and then Ali said,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			should I fight them till they become Muslims?
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Should I fight them till they become like
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			us? The prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, said,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			go to them patiently and calmly until you
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			enter their land,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			then invite them to Islam. You see, this
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			is the prophet is teaching the rules of
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			warfare. You know, just We're not just running
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			in and smashing, grabbing, and pillaging. It's not
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			the way the Muslims did it. Not like
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			the Romans or the Vikings or even the
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			British and Americans, you know. There's a different
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			There's rules to our warfare. He said go
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			to them calmly, calmly, and invite them to
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			Islam because this is the best thing for
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			them. Invite them to Islam and inform them
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			that what is enjoined upon them. For by
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			Allah, if Allah gives guidance to anyone through
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			you, it is better than possessing red camels.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			This is where this famous hadith comes from,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			that if anyone is guided to Islam through
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			you, it's better than possessing red camels, and
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			red camels were like the the bukadis of
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			the day. You know what I mean? Even
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			more so than that. They used to ask
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			the Prophet
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			will we have red camels in Jannah? This
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			is how much they they value red camels.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			They would ask if they have them in
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:47
			paradise.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			So he said it's better than you than
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			red camels. This is narrated by Imam Ahmad,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			and it's both in Bukhari and Muslim, and
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			is well narrated from Fatawah who is a
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			very famous narrator of a hadith and well
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			known.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			Sa'd ibn Abi Wampas,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			reported that the messenger of Allah
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			left Ali ibn Abi Talib behind him as
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			he proceeded on the expedition of Tabuk,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			wherein Ali said, oh messenger, all of Allah,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			are you leaving me behind with the women
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			and the children?
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			He basically asked to be like, you know
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			I'm one of the best fighters you had.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			I am one of the most bravest warriors
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			of Banu Hashim. You're leaving me with women
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			and children. Is that my position in this?
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			Because this was the battle of Surah, like
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			this was a battle of hardship. This was
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			going to be a lot of reward because
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			they knew that was going to be difficult.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			He said, O Messenger of Allah is complaining
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			to him that are you leaving me with
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			the women and the children?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			Therein the prophet
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			said, aren't you satisfied
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			that you are to me like haru was
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			to Musa?
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			Look what he tells
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			him. Aren't you satisfied
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			that to me you are like harun was
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			to Musa? If you know the story of
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			Musa and harun, they harun was the support
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			to Musa. Even when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			commanded firaam to go to Musa, what did
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			he say? Send with me with my brother
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			Harun. Send with me because he had so
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			much love for him and knew that he
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			would support him, etcetera, so on and so
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			forth. He said, aren't you satisfied
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			that you are like Harun was to Musa
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			to me?
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			Wherein
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			but with the exception, there will be no
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			prophet after me. That's the only difference is
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			that Harun became a prophet. Later on, you
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			you there's not going to be you're you're
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			not a prophet. Then Ali said,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			I'm fine with that. This is narrated by
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			Bukhari Muslim. Ali had no come no problem
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			after that. He said, okay.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			Zorah ibn,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			raised the reported that
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			Ali once said that the prophet
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			made a covenant with me
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			that none would love me but a believer.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			He once told me and made a covenant
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			with me that none would love me but
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			a believer, and none would hate you but
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			a hypocrite.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			None would love you except that they are
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			a believer, and none would despise you except
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			what they are?
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			And this is related by imam Muslim.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			Zaha then reported that he heard Ali
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			in Arwababa
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			saying that while he was seeking people's aid,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			who witnessed the Messenger of Allah
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			This this is a, a statement that was
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			made during the calamity,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			after, during during Ali's Farifa.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			He came out and he said, how many
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			of you witnessed the messenger of Allah on
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			the day of raidur kum? Anybody know what
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			the day of raidur kum is?
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			Anybody?
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			This is the place where he stopped
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			on the farewell pilgrimage.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			During the farewell pilgrimage, before giving his, very
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			famous,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			address, farewell sermon, he stopped at a place
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			called Hagai Dervom and took an oath from
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			the people. He said, did you not
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			attend and hear what he said on that
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			day?
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			And what did he say on that day?
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			On that day he said, I leave behind
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			with you two things. If you'd hold fast
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			to them, you'll never go astray. They're the
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			book of Allah and my family. The book
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			of Allah and my family. Hold on to
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			them or you'll never go astray. He said,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			Do you not remember the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			wasallam?
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			And he took Ali's hand and held up.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			This is a very difficult thing to hadith.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			You'll find this in the collection of of
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			of of sunni scholars.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			We took up his hand. He took up
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			his hand, Ali's hand, and said, this is
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			my family. This is my progeny.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			So Ali is now calling on the people
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			and say, do you not remember what happened
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:27
			on that day?
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			Thereupon, 13 men stood up and testified
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			that they heard the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			alaihi wa sallam said, for whoever I am
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			an ally, a friend of Ali
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			is his excuse me. For whomever I am
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			an ally and friend, Ali is also his
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			ally and friend. So, basically, the prophet at
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			the day of Ghaidir Khum, he took up
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			Ali's hand, and he said, whoever is a
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			maulah to me, meaning an ally, a a
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			supporter, a defender, whoever is a maulah for
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			me, then they are also a maulah for
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Ali. Whoever is a protector of me, you
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			are a protector of Ali as well.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			It is narrated by Imam Ahmad. So these
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			are authentic sources.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			Hubert reported
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			that Al Hasan ibn Ali
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			delivered a sermon. This is when Hassan was,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			the Khalifa for a short period of time.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:18
			He said
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			in his sermon,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			a man has left you yesterday, and this
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			is shortly after the death of Ali, a
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			man has left you yesterday
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			whom the formers did not proceed with knowledge
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			and whom the ladders will never catch up
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			with. Whom the formers did not proceed with
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			knowledge, whom the ladders will never catch up
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			with.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			used to send him with the flag
