1
00:00:02,180 --> 00:00:03,500
In Allah's name, Lord of the worlds.

2
00:00:03,860 --> 00:00:08,856
May the most perfect prayers and
peace be upon him, a mercy to the worlds.

3
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:11,580
And upon his family
and all his Companions.

4
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:18,540
Now then, brothers and sisters.

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:27,166
This is the final session of this course.

6
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:29,260
For it, I ask Allah ﷻ.

7
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:34,736
To reward its speaker.

8
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:39,400
Its attendees, organizer,
and transmitter.

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,620
And everyone who did any good for it.

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:54,720
And I greatly appreciate
the attendance of brothers and sisters.

11
00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:04,820
Despite their eagerness,
even though the course is on workdays.

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,580
One brother even told me
he comes straight to the course from work.

13
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:19,280
And this is something that
gladdens the mind and heart.

14
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,840
As long as the Ummah has people
with this resolve.

15
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,480
Then we hope for abundant good
for the land and the people.

16
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:36,330
We conclude the sessions.

17
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,820
The third matter in this course
was one we wanted to discuss.

18
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,960
It was the Prophet ﷺ
with his Companions.

19
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:55,100
The Companions of the Messenger
of Allah ﷺ, men and women.

20
00:01:56,180 --> 00:02:00,080
Allah selected them and chose them
from among His servants.

21
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,260
Ibn Masud (RA) said.

22
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:08,820
Allah looked into the hearts
of His servants.

23
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:15,260
and found Muhammad ﷺ's heart
the best of His servants' hearts.

24
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,540
So He chose him for Himself
and sent him with His message.

25
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:27,880
Then, after Muhammad ﷺ's heart,
He looked into His servants' hearts.

26
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:33,560
and found his Companions' hearts
the best of His servants' hearts.

27
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:39,530
So He made them helpers
of His Prophet, fighting for His religion.

28
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:53,080
Reported by Imam Ahmad
with a good chain.

29
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:58,300
The Prophet ﷺ with his Companions.

30
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,740
as his Lord ﷻ described him, saying.

31
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,536
"Those who follow the Messenger,"
the unlettered Prophet."

32
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:12,500
"whom they find written with them
in the Torah and the Gospel."

33
00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:17,836
"He enjoins on them what is right
and forbids them what is wrong."

34
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,300
"He makes lawful for them
the good and forbids them the foul."

35
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:29,336
"and relieves them of their burden
and the shackles upon them."

36
00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:33,796
So those who believe in him
honor him, aid him, and follow the light.

37
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,716
"that was sent down with him—
they are the successful."

38
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,856
The Prophet ﷺ with his Companions.

39
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:45,500
as his Lord ﷻ described him, saying.

40
00:03:46,090 --> 00:03:52,180
"Allah has surely favored the believers"
by sending them a Messenger of their own."

41
00:03:53,060 --> 00:03:56,536
"Reciting to them His verses
and purifying them.

42
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:59,016
and teaching them the Book
and wisdom.

43
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,160
Though before that
they were in clear error."

44
00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:08,800
He is our Prophet ﷺ.

45
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,380
His Lord described him
with these qualities.

46
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:22,040
And he was indeed like that
with his Companions (RA).

47
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:30,580
He brought ease
and the religion of ease.

48
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:36,740
The Prophet ﷺ did not like hardship
for his Companions.

49
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,240
And he loved ease for them.
He ﷺ said:

50
00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:49,220
"By the One in Whose hand is my soul,
were it not for burdening the Muslims

51
00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:54,620
I would not stay behind
any expedition." He ﷺ said:

52
00:04:55,540 --> 00:05:02,370
"Were it not for burdening my Ummah,
I'd order the siwak at every prayer."

53
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:09,140
He ﷺ loved ease for his Companions.

54
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:16,240
He ﷺ feared hardship for them.

55
00:05:19,460 --> 00:05:26,220
The Prophet ﷺ with his Companions,
as his Lord ﷻ described him, saying:

56
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,016
"Surely, a Messenger has come to you
from yourselves; your hardship pains him.

57
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:36,236
He is concerned for you;
to believers, kind and merciful."

58
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,220
The Messenger ﷺ treated his Companions
with the finest character.

59
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,696
and the noblest character, as his Lord
ﷻ described him, saying:

60
00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:52,666
"And indeed, you are of
great moral character."

61
00:05:52,750 --> 00:05:56,380
And among that great character
was a trait.

62
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,196
which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
embodied.

63
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:08,638
always; and His Lord ﷻ described him
with it as a favor, saying.

64
00:06:08,722 --> 00:06:26,572
Mercy made you gentle; harshness repels.
Pardon, seek pardon, consult; trust Allah.

65
00:06:27,492 --> 00:06:29,032
So, by mercy.

66
00:06:30,232 --> 00:06:34,377
from Allah to the Prophet ﷺ.

67
00:06:34,461 --> 00:06:38,268
and to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.

68
00:06:38,352 --> 00:06:42,988
and to the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ.

69
00:06:43,072 --> 00:06:49,608
Because the Prophet ﷺ was the gentlest
of people toward his Companions.

70
00:06:49,692 --> 00:06:56,012
And he was the softest and most
merciful of people ﷺ.

71
00:06:57,912 --> 00:07:01,888
He was not harsh, nor hard-hearted.

72
00:07:01,972 --> 00:07:08,908
The harsh, hard-hearted person
people don't gather or come to him.

73
00:07:08,992 --> 00:07:12,072
The harsh, hard-hearted person
people turn away from him.

74
00:07:12,832 --> 00:07:16,608
The harsh, hard-hearted person
is not one people love to be near.

75
00:07:16,692 --> 00:07:22,552
And to his Companions, the Prophet ﷺ
was dearest of all.

76
00:07:22,652 --> 00:07:26,788
They most loved being near him ﷺ.

77
00:07:26,872 --> 00:07:29,568
because he was never harsh with them.

78
00:07:29,652 --> 00:07:35,992
nor was he hard-hearted ﷺ.

79
00:07:36,832 --> 00:07:41,312
He forgave what his Companions did
especially when it concerned him.

80
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:47,772
and sought forgiveness for them
for their failings toward Allah ﷻ.

81
00:07:49,032 --> 00:08:00,472
Likewise, a believer should forgive
his companions' slips against him.

82
00:08:02,112 --> 00:08:06,732
and he should seek forgiveness
for them for their sins.

83
00:08:10,372 --> 00:08:12,492
He does not call them to account.

84
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:18,512
Rather, he accepts whatever good
and decency are possible.

85
00:08:20,732 --> 00:08:27,932
and often pardons
and often supplicates.

86
00:08:29,952 --> 00:08:33,772
And the Prophet ﷺ would consult
his Companions.

87
00:08:35,032 --> 00:08:40,712
and he ﷺ consulted
his Companions a great deal.

88
00:08:41,592 --> 00:08:47,512
Consultation brings hearts near
and lights the paths.

89
00:08:49,172 --> 00:08:55,912
Consultation makes companions'
hearts draw near.

90
00:08:58,312 --> 00:09:00,792
And in consultation is much good.

91
00:09:01,312 --> 00:09:03,692
Abu Hurayrah (RA) said.

92
00:09:03,792 --> 00:09:13,168
I saw no one consult his
Companions more than the Prophet ﷺ.

93
00:09:13,252 --> 00:09:16,452
Reported by Ibn Hibban,
and authenticated by al-Albani.

94
00:09:17,532 --> 00:09:25,212
So the Prophet ﷺ often consulted
his Companions (RA).

95
00:09:25,992 --> 00:09:32,752
He ﷺ taught his Companions
in the best manner.

96
00:09:33,692 --> 00:09:39,872
with the gentlest teaching,
the noblest and finest style.

97
00:09:40,752 --> 00:09:47,211
Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ
said to me on the morning of al-'Aqabah.

98
00:09:48,052 --> 00:09:52,192
while he was on his mount,
"Pick up some pebbles for me."

99
00:09:52,512 --> 00:09:56,952
He said: I picked up for him
small pebbles used for throwing.

100
00:09:57,512 --> 00:10:00,152
When I placed them in his hand, he said.

101
00:10:00,672 --> 00:10:06,392
"Use pebbles like these,
and beware of excess in religion."

102
00:10:07,072 --> 00:10:11,188
"Those before you were ruined
by excess in religion."

103
00:10:11,272 --> 00:10:13,452
Reported by al-Nasa'i
and authenticated by al-Albani.

104
00:10:14,192 --> 00:10:17,812
So the Prophet ﷺ taught him
moderation.

105
00:10:18,712 --> 00:10:22,912
And the Prophet ﷺ taught them
to keep away from excess.

106
00:10:24,452 --> 00:10:26,552
Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported.

107
00:10:27,232 --> 00:10:32,972
He said: The Prophet ﷺ said,
"Do not fast continuously."

108
00:10:34,232 --> 00:10:40,108
They said, "But you fast continuously."
He said, "I am not like you."

109
00:10:40,192 --> 00:10:44,368
"I spend the night while my Lord
feeds me and gives me drink."

110
00:10:44,452 --> 00:10:53,012
Since they would not stop, the Prophet ﷺ
fasted with them 2 days or 2 nights.

111
00:10:55,532 --> 00:11:02,248
Then they saw the crescent, and
the Prophet ﷺ said.

112
00:11:02,332 --> 00:11:06,848
"Had the crescent been delayed,
I'd have added more to discipline you."

113
00:11:06,932 --> 00:11:10,112
Narrated by al-Bukhari in the Sahih.
Some scholars said.

114
00:11:10,992 --> 00:11:20,232
By fasting with them, the Prophet ﷺ
meant them to feel its hardship.

115
00:11:20,892 --> 00:11:28,092
And to teach them that good lies
in what he ﷺ commanded them.

116
00:11:28,672 --> 00:11:37,292
Aisha (RA) said: The Prophet ﷺ
did something as a concession.

117
00:11:38,232 --> 00:11:44,148
But some people refrained from it;
leaving it out of scrupulousness.

118
00:11:44,232 --> 00:11:51,148
When that reached the Prophet ﷺ,
he praised Allah ﷻ and extolled Him.

119
00:11:51,232 --> 00:11:58,072
Then he said, "Why do some people
refrain from something I do?"

120
00:11:58,652 --> 00:12:04,908
"By Allah, I know Allah better
than they do and fear Him most."

121
00:12:04,992 --> 00:12:06,112
Reported in Sahih al-Bukhari.

122
00:12:06,672 --> 00:12:14,664
Whatever the Prophet ﷺ did,
a Muslim should not forgo it as piety.

123
00:12:16,344 --> 00:12:23,484
For the Prophet ﷺ feared Allah most,
and taught his Companions likewise.

124
00:12:23,984 --> 00:12:30,404
Abu Hurayrah (RA) narrated from
the Prophet ﷺ: "Religion is easy."

125
00:12:31,214 --> 00:12:35,220
“No one makes the religion hard
except that it overwhelms him.”

126
00:12:35,304 --> 00:12:39,120
“So be upright, draw near, and
receive glad tidings.”

127
00:12:39,204 --> 00:12:44,164
“Seek help in the morning,
afternoon, and part of the night.”

128
00:12:47,064 --> 00:12:51,480
Narrated by al-Bukhari.
Aisha RA said.

129
00:12:51,564 --> 00:12:59,184
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would
tell them to do only what they could.

130
00:13:00,064 --> 00:13:03,124
They said: We are not like you,
O Messenger of Allah.

131
00:13:03,324 --> 00:13:07,740
Allah has forgiven your past
and future sins.

132
00:13:07,824 --> 00:13:12,704
Then he would grow angry until
anger was seen on his face.

133
00:13:13,284 --> 00:13:18,644
Then he would say, “I am the most
God-fearing and know Allah best.”

134
00:13:19,524 --> 00:13:24,384
Narrated by al-Bukhari
in the Sahih. This is a Sunnah.

135
00:13:25,144 --> 00:13:29,324
Some scholars said its etiquette is this.

136
00:13:30,144 --> 00:13:35,304
A person should not burden companions
beyond what they can bear in worldly life.

137
00:13:38,164 --> 00:13:41,704
He accepts from them
what they can bear.

138
00:13:42,904 --> 00:13:46,544
And does not burden them
with what they cannot bear.

139
00:13:47,524 --> 00:13:51,424
Anas ibn Malik (RA) said.
Three men came.

140
00:13:52,844 --> 00:13:57,964
To the homes of the Prophet ﷺ's
wives, asking about his worship.

141
00:13:59,624 --> 00:14:03,444
When they were told,
they thought it was little.

142
00:14:04,324 --> 00:14:07,880
They said.
Where are we compared to the Prophet ﷺ?

143
00:14:07,964 --> 00:14:11,044
Allah has forgiven his past
and future sins.

144
00:14:11,564 --> 00:14:13,744
They deemed it little
in relation to themselves.

145
00:14:15,344 --> 00:14:17,664
For they are sinners,
held accountable.

146
00:14:20,504 --> 00:14:24,544
Not in comparison
to the Prophet ﷺ.

147
00:14:25,584 --> 00:14:29,604
One of them said.
As for me, I will always pray at night.

148
00:14:30,344 --> 00:14:34,704
Pay attention, brothers.
A righteous intent and good outward form.

149
00:14:36,484 --> 00:14:40,990
A righteous intent
and good outward form.

150
00:14:41,074 --> 00:14:44,944
They wanted Allah's pleasure,
and the outward deed was good.

151
00:14:46,664 --> 00:14:49,824
Another said, 'I will fast forever
and never break my fast.'

152
00:14:50,384 --> 00:14:55,480
Another said, 'I will avoid
women and never marry.'

153
00:14:55,564 --> 00:15:00,264
Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
came to them and said:

154
00:15:00,364 --> 00:15:03,000
“Are you the ones who said
such and such?”

155
00:15:03,084 --> 00:15:07,444
“By Allah, I fear Allah most
and am most mindful of Him.”

156
00:15:07,904 --> 00:15:13,134
“But I fast and break my fast,
I pray and sleep, and marry women.”

157
00:15:13,684 --> 00:15:17,240
“Whoever turns away from my
Sunnah is not of me.” Agreed upon.

158
00:15:17,324 --> 00:15:22,664
The Prophet ﷺ taught them that
in matters of worship.

159
00:15:22,784 --> 00:15:26,840
Good intent and a good outward
form are not enough.

160
00:15:26,924 --> 00:15:33,584
Until worship conforms to
the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.

161
00:15:33,964 --> 00:15:39,064
The Prophet ﷺ taught this
to those men.

162
00:15:39,564 --> 00:15:42,004
And thus the Companions learned this.

163
00:15:42,444 --> 00:15:45,674
And thus his Ummah learned this.

164
00:15:47,544 --> 00:15:52,900
Abd al-Rahman ibn Shibl said,
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say.

165
00:15:52,984 --> 00:15:57,394
"Recite the Quran, but do not
go to excess in it, nor neglect it."

166
00:15:57,984 --> 00:16:01,940
"Do not make a living by it,
nor seek abundance through it."

167
00:16:02,024 --> 00:16:08,624
Ahmad narrated it. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar:
strong chain; al-Arna'ut authenticated it

168
00:16:10,464 --> 00:16:13,064
And Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA) said.

169
00:16:13,824 --> 00:16:21,104
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew
a line for us: "This is Allah's path."

170
00:16:21,744 --> 00:16:25,704
Then he drew lines to its right
and left, then said.

171
00:16:25,824 --> 00:16:32,500
"These are separate paths;
on each is a devil calling to it."

172
00:16:32,584 --> 00:16:37,000
Then he recited, "And this is
My straight path, so follow it."

173
00:16:37,084 --> 00:16:40,300
"Do not follow other ways,
lest they separate you from His way."

174
00:16:40,384 --> 00:16:42,184
Narrated by Ahmad
and Ibn Abi Asim.

175
00:16:42,784 --> 00:16:46,500
Al-Albani said: It is sound
due to other reports.

176
00:16:46,584 --> 00:16:51,544
The Prophet ﷺ would teach
his Companions often.

177
00:16:52,384 --> 00:16:55,444
And usually, he would teach
his Companions.

178
00:16:56,044 --> 00:17:01,484
And the Prophet ﷺ would often teach
the methodology.

179
00:17:02,424 --> 00:17:06,554
He taught the method in worship,
in conduct, and in dealings.

180
00:17:07,044 --> 00:17:12,680
Likewise, a friend should be keen
to teach his friend.

181
00:17:12,764 --> 00:17:17,000
He should be keen to guide him,
and keen for his heart's soundness.

182
00:17:17,084 --> 00:17:19,484
He should care that his approach is sound.

183
00:17:19,584 --> 00:17:26,960
If he sees him attached to someone
he fears for him, he alerts and warns.

184
00:17:27,044 --> 00:17:32,300
And if he sees him veering right
or left in his methodology.

185
00:17:32,384 --> 00:17:38,983
He guides him, advises him,
and admonishes him like the Prophet ﷺ.

186
00:17:39,864 --> 00:17:45,733
With his Companions, he taught
them tawhid, and taught it often.

187
00:17:46,124 --> 00:17:51,000
Mu'adh (RA) said: I was riding
behind the Prophet ﷺ.

188
00:17:51,084 --> 00:17:53,680
on a donkey, and he said,
"O Mu'adh.

189
00:17:53,764 --> 00:17:59,844
Do you know Allah's right over
His servants, and their right over Allah?"

190
00:18:00,284 --> 00:18:02,740
I said, "Allah and His Messenger
know best."

191
00:18:02,824 --> 00:18:06,080
He said, "Allah's right over
His servants is that they worship Him.

192
00:18:06,164 --> 00:18:10,960
And associate nothing with Him.
And the servants' right over Allah.

193
00:18:11,044 --> 00:18:15,708
is that He not punish anyone
who associates nothing with Him."

194
00:18:15,792 --> 00:18:19,512
He taught them what benefited them,
even when they were young.

195
00:18:20,072 --> 00:18:26,668
Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: One day,
I was behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

196
00:18:26,752 --> 00:18:31,328
He said: "Young man,
I'll teach you some words.

197
00:18:31,412 --> 00:18:35,432
Mind Allah; He will protect you.
Mind Allah; you'll find Him before you.

198
00:18:35,872 --> 00:18:37,888
If you ask, ask Allah.

199
00:18:37,972 --> 00:18:41,268
And if you seek help,
seek it from Allah, and know that..."

200
00:18:41,352 --> 00:18:44,772
“If the whole Ummah gathered
to benefit you with anything.

201
00:18:45,132 --> 00:18:48,768
They would only benefit you
with what Allah wrote for you.

202
00:18:48,852 --> 00:18:52,968
And if they gathered to
harm you with anything.

203
00:18:53,052 --> 00:18:56,708
They would only harm you
with what Allah wrote against you.

204
00:18:56,792 --> 00:18:59,548
The pens have been lifted,
and the pages have dried.”

205
00:18:59,632 --> 00:19:03,032
Reported by Ahmad and
al-Tirmidhi. Al-Albani authenticated it.

206
00:19:04,652 --> 00:19:12,272
The Prophet ﷺ was keen to give
his Companions sound, concise counsel.

207
00:19:13,412 --> 00:19:16,708
It is reported from
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As (RA).

208
00:19:16,792 --> 00:19:20,368
That Muadh ibn Jabal (RA)
intended to travel.

209
00:19:20,452 --> 00:19:22,868
He said, “O Prophet of Allah,
advise me.”

210
00:19:22,952 --> 00:19:26,072
He said, “Worship Allah
and associate nothing with Him.”

211
00:19:26,592 --> 00:19:29,068
He said, “O Prophet of Allah,
give me more.”

212
00:19:29,152 --> 00:19:31,448
He said, “If you do wrong,
then do good.”

213
00:19:31,532 --> 00:19:34,268
He said, “O Messenger of Allah,
give me more.”

214
00:19:34,352 --> 00:19:37,352
He said: Be upright,
and have good character.

215
00:19:37,752 --> 00:19:40,722
Narrated by Ibn Hibban.
Graded hasan by al-Albani.

216
00:19:42,592 --> 00:19:46,938
This was often seen in the life
of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

217
00:19:47,022 --> 00:19:51,672
With his Companions, there was
great gentleness in teaching.

218
00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:58,192
Reported from Mu'awiyah ibn
al-Hakam al-Sulami RA, who said.

219
00:19:58,312 --> 00:20:03,308
While I was praying with
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

220
00:20:03,392 --> 00:20:07,792
a man among the people sneezed.
So I said, "May Allah have mercy on you."

221
00:20:09,332 --> 00:20:14,242
The people glared at me, so I said,
"May my mother lose me!"

222
00:20:15,572 --> 00:20:18,468
"Why are you looking at me?"

223
00:20:18,552 --> 00:20:22,448
They began striking their hands
on their thighs.

224
00:20:22,532 --> 00:20:27,372
When I saw they were signaling me
to be quiet, I fell silent.

225
00:20:28,272 --> 00:20:33,808
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
finished praying—this is the point.

226
00:20:33,892 --> 00:20:39,452
May my father and mother be
sacrificed for him. I had never seen.

227
00:20:40,352 --> 00:20:43,772
anyone teach better
before him or after him.

228
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:47,052
By Allah, he did not scold me.

229
00:20:48,632 --> 00:20:54,411
He did not hit me
or insult me. He only said.

230
00:20:55,052 --> 00:20:59,272
This prayer allows no
ordinary human speech.

231
00:20:59,872 --> 00:21:03,172
It is only tasbih and takbir,
and Qur'an recitation."

232
00:21:03,872 --> 00:21:08,568
Narrated by Muslim in his Sahih.
Anas ibn Malik said.

233
00:21:08,652 --> 00:21:13,248
While we were in the mosque
with Allah's Messenger ﷺ.

234
00:21:13,332 --> 00:21:17,252
a Bedouin came
and began urinating in the mosque.

235
00:21:17,852 --> 00:21:22,828
The Prophet's Companions said,
"Stop! Stop!"

236
00:21:22,912 --> 00:21:27,372
But he ﷺ said,
"Do not stop him. Leave him."

237
00:21:27,952 --> 00:21:30,532
So they left him
until he urinated.

238
00:21:31,412 --> 00:21:38,252
Then Allah's Messenger ﷺ
called him and addressed him.

239
00:21:38,752 --> 00:21:42,032
"These mosques are not for
urine or filth.

240
00:21:42,692 --> 00:21:46,688
They are only for the remembrance
of Allah ﷻ, prayer, and recitation."

241
00:21:46,772 --> 00:21:51,268
the Quran—or as the Messenger
of Allah ﷺ said.

242
00:21:51,352 --> 00:21:55,188
Then he ordered a man from them.
He brought a pail of water.

243
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:57,592
He poured it over it.
Recorded in Muslim's Sahih.

244
00:21:58,092 --> 00:22:02,628
Thus the Prophet ﷺ taught
his companions.

245
00:22:02,712 --> 00:22:09,712
and was keen to teach them
with elegance in teaching ﷺ.

246
00:22:10,252 --> 00:22:17,488
The Prophet ﷺ would joke
and banter with his companions.

247
00:22:17,572 --> 00:22:22,112
without excess that removes
reverence, and without lies.

248
00:22:23,312 --> 00:22:30,892
The flaw in joking is excess
until reverence is lost, or lying.

249
00:22:34,632 --> 00:22:37,428
A believer should not have this trait.

250
00:22:37,512 --> 00:22:43,932
So the Prophet ﷺ would joke
and banter with his companions.

251
00:22:44,032 --> 00:22:47,712
but without excess
and without lies.

252
00:22:47,992 --> 00:22:50,392
Abu Hurayrah RA reported.

253
00:22:50,752 --> 00:22:54,272
They said, O Messenger of Allah,
you joke with us.

254
00:22:55,432 --> 00:22:58,392
He said, ‘I speak only the truth.’

255
00:22:59,492 --> 00:23:02,252
Narrated by Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi.
Authenticated by al-Albani.

256
00:23:03,812 --> 00:23:06,868
Anas ibn Malik RA reported that

257
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:11,208
A man asked the Messenger of
Allah ﷺ for a mount.

258
00:23:11,292 --> 00:23:15,232
That is, he asked him for a mount
so he could go and fight.

259
00:23:16,512 --> 00:23:20,432
He said, ‘I will give you a ride
on the offspring of a she-camel.’

260
00:23:22,332 --> 00:23:28,472
‘The offspring of a she-camel’
first suggests the young unridden one.

261
00:23:30,352 --> 00:23:34,632
Yet all camels are born of
she-camels.

262
00:23:36,272 --> 00:23:38,332
So the Prophet ﷺ used truthful words.

263
00:23:39,452 --> 00:23:45,632
But at first glance, this meaning
is not understood. He joked with him.

264
00:23:46,432 --> 00:23:50,642
He ﷺ said, “I will let you ride
on a she-camel’s offspring.”

265
00:23:51,012 --> 00:23:52,608
He said, “O Messenger of Allah!”

266
00:23:52,692 --> 00:23:55,412
“What would I do with
a camel calf? It can’t be ridden.”

267
00:23:56,732 --> 00:24:02,612
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
“Are camels born only from she-camels?”

268
00:24:04,492 --> 00:24:06,602
“Are camels born only from
she-camels?”

269
00:24:07,132 --> 00:24:10,192
Reported by Abu Dawud
and al-Tirmidhi. Sahih per al-Albani.

270
00:24:11,852 --> 00:24:19,688
Anas RA narrated that a Bedouin
named Zahir.

271
00:24:19,788 --> 00:24:26,284
He would bring a gift
from the desert to Allah's Messenger ﷺ.

272
00:24:26,368 --> 00:24:29,868
Whenever he came from the desert,
he brought dried yogurt and the like.

273
00:24:31,488 --> 00:24:39,258
He said: Allah's Messenger ﷺ would
equip him for the trip back.

274
00:24:39,828 --> 00:24:43,084
The Prophet ﷺ would equip him.

275
00:24:43,168 --> 00:24:50,368
"Zahir is our man of the desert,
and we are his townsfolk."

276
00:24:51,768 --> 00:24:56,164
Zahir is our desert man;
he brings us gifts from the desert.

277
00:24:56,248 --> 00:25:01,228
And we are his townsfolk;
we equip him from Madinah.

278
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:09,468
The Prophet ﷺ loved him,
and he was unattractive.

279
00:25:11,668 --> 00:25:16,608
Then the Prophet ﷺ came to him one day
while he was selling his goods.

280
00:25:17,508 --> 00:25:19,784
He said: He came from the desert
and went to the market.

281
00:25:19,868 --> 00:25:24,424
Whenever he came to the Prophet ﷺ,
he brought him a gift.

282
00:25:24,508 --> 00:25:28,928
He came from the desert to the market,
and the Prophet ﷺ found him there.

283
00:25:30,968 --> 00:25:34,764
One day the Prophet ﷺ came to him
while he was selling his goods.

284
00:25:34,848 --> 00:25:39,688
He embraced him from behind,
and the man could not see him.

285
00:25:39,988 --> 00:25:46,214
The Prophet ﷺ grabbed him
from behind as he turned, not seeing him.

286
00:25:46,298 --> 00:25:51,148
Not seeing the Prophet ﷺ, he said,
"Let me go! Who is this?"

287
00:25:52,208 --> 00:25:59,184
So the Prophet ﷺ let him go,
and the man turned and knew him.

288
00:25:59,268 --> 00:26:06,628
Once he knew him, he pressed his back
against the Prophet’s chest.

289
00:26:08,308 --> 00:26:12,488
He began leaning back,
back against the Prophet's chest.

290
00:26:13,288 --> 00:26:18,308
…ﷺ. Then the Prophet ﷺ began saying.

291
00:26:18,668 --> 00:26:21,168
"Who will buy the slave?
Who will buy the slave?"

292
00:26:23,608 --> 00:26:27,043
He said, "O Messenger of Allah,
by Allah, you'd find me unsellable."

293
00:26:27,127 --> 00:26:31,308
Who would buy me? I'm ugly;
no one would buy me."

294
00:26:32,748 --> 00:26:38,128
The Prophet ﷺ said, "But with Allah,
you are not unsellable."

295
00:26:39,788 --> 00:26:43,948
Or he said, "With Allah,
you are precious."

296
00:26:45,008 --> 00:26:48,248
Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban.
Authenticated by al-Albani.

297
00:26:48,348 --> 00:26:52,624
See the Prophet's kindness.
Though he was the Prophet ﷺ.

298
00:26:52,708 --> 00:26:58,908
He came to the market and found
this stranger from the desert.

299
00:27:00,428 --> 00:27:06,268
He joked with him in the market
before people, grabbing him from behind.

300
00:27:07,308 --> 00:27:13,184
Then he joked even more and said,
"Who will buy the slave?"

301
00:27:13,268 --> 00:27:17,068
"Who will buy the slave?"
Then he kindly said this elegant phrase.

302
00:27:17,708 --> 00:27:22,588
But with Allah, you are not worthless.
With Allah, you are precious.

303
00:27:23,788 --> 00:27:30,208
Suhayb said, "I came to the Prophet ﷺ
with bread and dates before him."

304
00:27:31,428 --> 00:27:37,308
He said, "Come closer and eat."
So I began eating the dates.

305
00:27:38,648 --> 00:27:44,208
The Prophet ﷺ joked,
"You eat dates with sore eyes?"

306
00:27:45,408 --> 00:27:50,064
The Prophet ﷺ was joking with him.
Sore eyes do not prevent eating dates.

307
00:27:50,148 --> 00:27:54,848
But it was as if he had done
something: "You eat dates with sore eyes?"

308
00:27:55,868 --> 00:27:59,108
Suhayb (RA) understood and replied
to the joke with another joke.

309
00:27:59,728 --> 00:28:03,408
He said, "I chew from the other side."

310
00:28:05,768 --> 00:28:10,688
"I chew from one side,
not the sore side, but the other side."

311
00:28:12,168 --> 00:28:16,644
So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled.

312
00:28:16,728 --> 00:28:19,484
Narrated by Ibn Majah.
Al-Albani graded it hasan.

313
00:28:19,568 --> 00:28:26,684
And the Prophet ﷺ often smiled
at his companions.

314
00:28:26,768 --> 00:28:30,568
until each one thought
he was dearest to him.

315
00:28:33,168 --> 00:28:36,128
Abdullah ibn al-Harith said.

316
00:28:36,228 --> 00:28:42,644
I never saw anyone smile more
than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

317
00:28:42,728 --> 00:28:46,984
Narrated by Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi.
Authenticated by al-Albani.

318
00:28:47,068 --> 00:28:51,628
Jarir (RA) said, "He never kept
me out..."

319
00:28:54,208 --> 00:28:58,964
The Prophet ﷺ never barred me
since I became Muslim.

320
00:28:59,048 --> 00:29:02,388
And whenever he saw me,
he smiled at me.

321
00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:06,348
Agreed upon.
In Muslim's narration.

322
00:29:07,128 --> 00:29:12,924
He said: Allah's Messenger ﷺ
never kept me away since I became Muslim.

323
00:29:13,008 --> 00:29:15,388
And whenever he saw me,
he laughed.

324
00:29:16,628 --> 00:29:23,768
Part of the Prophet's ﷺ etiquette
with his Companions was that...

325
00:29:23,888 --> 00:29:31,248
If he feared an act of his might
affect their hearts, he explained himself.

326
00:29:32,448 --> 00:29:36,564
Abdullah ibn Abbas narrated
from al-Sa'b ibn Jaththamah.

327
00:29:36,648 --> 00:29:42,004
He gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
a wild donkey.

328
00:29:42,088 --> 00:29:45,768
While he was at al-Abwa' or
Waddan, he returned it.

329
00:29:47,048 --> 00:29:50,964
The Prophet ﷺ accepted gifts.
But he returned this one.

330
00:29:51,048 --> 00:29:58,208
When the Prophet ﷺ saw the look on
his face after returning his gift.

331
00:30:00,828 --> 00:30:07,388
"We only returned it to you,
because we are in ihram." Agreed upon.

332
00:30:08,728 --> 00:30:12,944
So he ﷺ explained his reason
for not accepting his gift.

333
00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:16,048
It was because he was in ihram
and could not accept game.

334
00:30:17,128 --> 00:30:21,358
Aishah RA narrated that the
Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out.

335
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:25,944
one night, in the middle of the night,
and prayed in the mosque.

336
00:30:26,484 --> 00:30:32,800
Then some men prayed with him.
By morning, word spread, and more came.

337
00:30:32,884 --> 00:30:37,954
On the second night, more prayed
with him. By morning, word spread.

338
00:30:38,544 --> 00:30:41,624
Then the people in the mosque
increased on the third night.

339
00:30:43,384 --> 00:30:47,920
So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
came out, and they prayed behind him.

340
00:30:48,004 --> 00:30:54,804
When it was the fourth night,
the mosque could not hold them.

341
00:30:56,444 --> 00:31:02,344
He ﷺ did not come out to them
until he came for Fajr prayer.

342
00:31:03,584 --> 00:31:08,464
When he finished Fajr, he faced
the people after tashahhud and said.

343
00:31:09,224 --> 00:31:15,364
Now then, I knew you were there.

344
00:31:15,464 --> 00:31:21,820
But I feared it would be made
obligatory for you, and you'd be unable.

345
00:31:21,904 --> 00:31:27,644
Agreed upon. The Prophet ﷺ explained
to them why...

346
00:31:28,684 --> 00:31:30,664
he had not come out that night.

347
00:31:31,584 --> 00:31:38,154
Likewise, one should care
for his companions' hearts.

348
00:31:39,084 --> 00:31:48,640
If he does something and, by signs,
fears it affected his companions' hearts.

349
00:31:48,724 --> 00:31:54,000
Then he should apologize to them
and explain his reason.

350
00:31:54,084 --> 00:31:58,584
The Prophet ﷺ was very humble
with his companions.

351
00:32:00,404 --> 00:32:02,724
He would sit among his companions.

352
00:32:04,424 --> 00:32:08,524
Then a stranger would come and not know.

353
00:32:09,484 --> 00:32:15,824
Which of them was the
Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

354
00:32:16,684 --> 00:32:19,124
And he would work alongside
his companions.

355
00:32:20,504 --> 00:32:26,960
He carried dirt with his companions
in the trench and in building the mosque.

356
00:32:27,044 --> 00:32:31,809
He ﷺ even did so
on the day of the trench.

357
00:32:31,893 --> 00:32:38,804
He kept carrying dirt until
it covered his belly or made it dusty.

358
00:32:41,524 --> 00:32:43,724
Anas ibn Malik (RA) said.

359
00:32:44,284 --> 00:32:49,224
The Prophet ﷺ used to mingle
with us a great deal.

360
00:32:49,384 --> 00:32:55,210
He would say to my little brother,
"O Abu 'Umayr, what of the nughayr?"

361
00:32:55,294 --> 00:32:59,300
Narrated by al-Bukhari.
In a report in both Sahihs, Anas said.

362
00:32:59,384 --> 00:33:02,844
The Prophet ﷺ had the best
character of all people.

363
00:33:03,464 --> 00:33:06,604
And I had a little brother
called Abu 'Umayr.

364
00:33:07,744 --> 00:33:12,484
Whenever he came, he would say,
"O Abu 'Umayr, what of the nughayr?"

365
00:33:13,144 --> 00:33:16,144
It was a little bird
he played with often.

366
00:33:17,884 --> 00:33:22,740
That is, the Prophet ﷺ would even
mingle with small children.

367
00:33:22,824 --> 00:33:27,300
He ﷺ would address them
and talk with them.

368
00:33:27,384 --> 00:33:31,604
He ﷺ also shared
his food with his companions.

369
00:33:35,164 --> 00:33:38,620
Jabir ibn Abdullah said
I was sitting in my house.

370
00:33:38,704 --> 00:33:43,484
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me
and gestured to me.

371
00:33:44,264 --> 00:33:48,620
So I got up and went to him.
He took my hand, and we set off.

372
00:33:48,704 --> 00:33:51,904
until he came to one
of his wives' rooms and entered.

373
00:33:52,564 --> 00:33:54,574
Then he gave me permission,
and I entered.

374
00:33:55,844 --> 00:34:00,064
He said, "Is there any lunch?"
They said, "Yes."

375
00:34:00,764 --> 00:34:04,404
Then three loaves were brought
and set down.

376
00:34:05,784 --> 00:34:10,984
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took
a loaf and set it before him.

377
00:34:11,564 --> 00:34:15,004
He took another loaf
and set it before me.

378
00:34:15,544 --> 00:34:22,460
Then he took the third and split it.
He placed half before him.

379
00:34:22,544 --> 00:34:26,744
and placed the other half before me.
Then he asked, "Any condiment?"

380
00:34:27,764 --> 00:34:31,984
They said, "No, only some vinegar."
He said, "Bring it."

381
00:34:32,624 --> 00:34:36,174
"What an excellent condiment it is."
Muslim narrated it in the Sahih.

382
00:34:38,224 --> 00:34:43,319
Jabir ibn Abdullah RA reported:
When the Trench was being dug.

383
00:34:43,403 --> 00:34:48,860
"I saw the Prophet ﷺ suffering
severe hunger, intense hunger."

384
00:34:48,944 --> 00:34:53,240
So I went back to my wife and said,
"Do you have anything?"

385
00:34:53,324 --> 00:35:01,404
"For I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
suffering severe hunger."

386
00:35:02,024 --> 00:35:06,284
He said: She brought out for me
a bag with a sa' of barley.

387
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:12,514
We had a domestic animal, so I
slaughtered it and ground the barley.

388
00:35:13,164 --> 00:35:18,824
When I was done,
I cut it up and put it in the pot.

389
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:24,764
Then I went to the Messenger
of Allah ﷺ. She said.

390
00:35:24,884 --> 00:35:29,780
Do not embarrass me before
Allah's Messenger ﷺ and those with him.

391
00:35:29,864 --> 00:35:35,240
Don't bring everyone; what we have
won't be enough. Don't shame us.

392
00:35:35,324 --> 00:35:43,924
He said: I spoke to him privately.
O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I made you food.

393
00:35:44,944 --> 00:35:50,124
I said, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ,
we slaughtered an animal and ground a sa'.

394
00:35:50,744 --> 00:35:57,264
of barley that we had.
So come, you and a few men with you.

395
00:35:58,384 --> 00:36:01,640
Then the Prophet ﷺ called out.

396
00:36:01,724 --> 00:36:04,164
"O people of the Trench!"

397
00:36:04,744 --> 00:36:11,484
"Jabir has prepared a meal;
come along!"

398
00:36:15,684 --> 00:36:18,584
Then he ﷺ said to him.

399
00:36:18,744 --> 00:36:26,784
"Do not take your pot off the fire
or bake your dough till I come."

400
00:36:26,904 --> 00:36:31,440
So I came, and the Messenger of
Allah ﷺ came, leading the people.

401
00:36:31,524 --> 00:36:34,844
Till I came to my wife, who said,
"It's because of you, because of you!"

402
00:36:36,504 --> 00:36:39,424
Meaning, "You have exposed me;
what I have is not enough."

403
00:36:39,984 --> 00:36:46,124
"You brought the people to me."
I said, "I did what you said."

404
00:36:47,424 --> 00:36:51,544
"I did not invite the people.
I only did what you said."

405
00:36:52,224 --> 00:36:56,724
So I brought him some dough.
He spat into it and blessed it.

406
00:36:56,944 --> 00:37:01,700
Then he went to our pot,
spat in it, blessed it, and said.

407
00:37:01,784 --> 00:37:04,604
"Call the baker, and let her bake
with me."

408
00:37:05,404 --> 00:37:09,404
"Keep ladling from your pot;
do not take it down." There were 1,000.

409
00:37:11,684 --> 00:37:17,620
I swear by Allah, they ate until they
left it and went away.

410
00:37:17,704 --> 00:37:21,554
And our pot was still bubbling,
as full as it had been.

411
00:37:23,984 --> 00:37:29,684
And our dough was still being baked
just as it was. Agreed upon.

412
00:37:30,884 --> 00:37:38,144
The Prophet ﷺ loved his companions
to share his food. This is good company.

413
00:37:40,104 --> 00:37:44,780
In fact, it was narrated
from Anas RA:

414
00:37:44,864 --> 00:37:52,344
A neighbor of the Prophet ﷺ
was Persian, and a fine man.

415
00:37:53,324 --> 00:37:59,364
He made broth for the Prophet ﷺ.
Then he came to invite him.

416
00:38:00,844 --> 00:38:04,484
The Prophet ﷺ said,
"And this is for Aisha too?"

417
00:38:05,904 --> 00:38:09,784
He said, "No."
The Prophet ﷺ said, "No."

418
00:38:13,204 --> 00:38:16,064
He said, "And Aisha too?"
He said, "No."

419
00:38:16,824 --> 00:38:18,664
He ﷺ said,
"No, I will not come."

420
00:38:22,604 --> 00:38:25,744
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No."
So he went back and invited him again.

421
00:38:26,424 --> 00:38:30,260
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked:
"And this one?" He replied: No.

422
00:38:30,344 --> 00:38:34,064
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No."
Then he went back and invited him again.

423
00:38:34,584 --> 00:38:38,244
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked:
"And this one?" He replied: Yes.

424
00:38:40,704 --> 00:38:45,904
He said: They both rose, jostling,
until they reached his home.

425
00:38:47,504 --> 00:38:48,684
Muslim narrated it in his Sahih.

426
00:38:50,924 --> 00:38:59,604
The Prophet ﷺ wanted our mother
Aisha (RA) to share his meal.

427
00:39:01,304 --> 00:39:05,880
I will end with this, though we have
not finished. It is enough, Allah willing.

428
00:39:05,964 --> 00:39:08,464
The Prophet ﷺ protected
his companions' honor.

429
00:39:10,864 --> 00:39:13,064
This is one of the greatest
rights of companionship:

430
00:39:14,824 --> 00:39:18,600
to protect one's companions' honor.

431
00:39:18,684 --> 00:39:21,320
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri RA reported.

432
00:39:21,404 --> 00:39:25,044
The Prophet ﷺ said.
"Do not revile my Companions."

433
00:39:26,024 --> 00:39:30,504
"If one of you spent gold like Uhud."

434
00:39:30,644 --> 00:39:33,820
"it would not reach a mudd of
one of them, nor half of it."

435
00:39:33,904 --> 00:39:38,250
Reported by al-Bukhari.
And in Muslim, Allah's Messenger ﷺ said:

436
00:39:38,334 --> 00:39:42,440
"Do not revile my Companions."
"Do not revile my Companions."

437
00:39:42,524 --> 00:39:47,964
"By the One in Whose hand is my soul,
if one of you spent gold like Uhud."

438
00:39:48,104 --> 00:39:50,754
"he would not attain a mudd of one
of them, nor even half of it."

439
00:39:51,184 --> 00:39:55,040
In Muslim, Abu Sa'id RA reported.

440
00:39:55,124 --> 00:40:00,720
There was an issue between Khalid
ibn al-Walid and Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf.

441
00:40:00,804 --> 00:40:06,964
Khalid insulted him, so the Prophet ﷺ
said, "Do not revile my Companions."

442
00:40:07,704 --> 00:40:14,504
"If one of you spent gold like
Mt. Uhud, it'd not equal a mudd or half."

443
00:40:17,684 --> 00:40:23,504
Ibn Mas'ud (RA) climbed a tree.

444
00:40:23,764 --> 00:40:30,364
The Prophet ﷺ told him to come and
bring him a siwak from the tree.

445
00:40:31,524 --> 00:40:36,720
His companions looked at
Ibn Mas'ud's leg as he climbed the tree.

446
00:40:36,804 --> 00:40:42,064
They laughed at how thin his legs were.
He was very skinny.

447
00:40:43,863 --> 00:40:46,803
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.

448
00:40:48,604 --> 00:40:55,964
"Why are you laughing at
Abdullah's legs?"

449
00:40:56,704 --> 00:41:02,664
"Abdullah's legs will weigh heavier
on the Scale than Mount Uhud that Day."

450
00:41:03,724 --> 00:41:06,024
Reported by Ahmad in al-Sahih.

451
00:41:06,924 --> 00:41:13,664
So the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to
protect his Companions' honor.

452
00:41:14,624 --> 00:41:22,304
Likewise, one should defend friends'
honor. O brothers and sisters.

453
00:41:26,024 --> 00:41:30,624
Dealing with family and friends
is indispensable.

454
00:41:31,884 --> 00:41:39,184
Life will not be pleasant until we
return to sound Sharia principles.

455
00:41:40,124 --> 00:41:45,044
And establish them among ourselves
and make them our way in life.

456
00:41:46,684 --> 00:41:52,304
I have tried, as much as possible,
to gather what I could.

457
00:41:55,624 --> 00:42:03,000
From the scholars' words
and shape it suitably.

458
00:42:03,084 --> 00:42:09,644
And gather whatever hadiths I could
that bring meanings closer to minds.

459
00:42:11,704 --> 00:42:15,894
And I ask Allah ﷻ
to place blessing in what we presented.

460
00:42:17,764 --> 00:42:23,720
As I promised, Allah willing,
I will review the talk and complete it.

461
00:42:23,804 --> 00:42:26,840
Because much of what I write
is only in shorthand.

462
00:42:26,924 --> 00:42:30,768
so I do not forget. And if

463
00:42:30,852 --> 00:42:35,272
Allah wills, I will mention
the sources for scholars' quotes.

464
00:42:36,632 --> 00:42:40,232
And that will be a written text
sent to you through the brothers.

465
00:42:40,912 --> 00:42:42,952
Allah ﷻ willing.

466
00:42:43,792 --> 00:42:49,572
In closing, I advise myself
and my brothers to fear Allah ﷻ.

467
00:42:50,932 --> 00:42:57,532
Be keen on seeking knowledge
and do not tire or grow lazy.

468
00:42:59,312 --> 00:43:03,492
Knowledge is not gained by one
who tires, nor by one who is lazy.

469
00:43:04,452 --> 00:43:06,721
Whoever chooses comfort gets comfort.

470
00:43:07,692 --> 00:43:10,872
Whoever clings to the pillow
will not reach the ranks of the masters.

471
00:43:13,052 --> 00:43:18,032
Whoever greatly exhausts himself
in seeking knowledge gains but little.

472
00:43:19,732 --> 00:43:25,932
But whoever inclines to comfort
remains in the darkness of ignorance.

473
00:43:26,672 --> 00:43:31,572
So I advise my brothers to be active,
show drive, and cooperate.

474
00:43:33,112 --> 00:43:37,942
and to cooperate in seeking knowledge.
Fear Allah for your country, brothers.

475
00:43:39,992 --> 00:43:44,828
Establish Allah's religion.
Do not let this world distract you.

476
00:43:44,912 --> 00:43:52,432
Do not let people's new affairs today
distract you from your religion.

477
00:43:53,132 --> 00:43:57,262
Do not forget your share of this
world. But preserve Allah's religion.

478
00:43:57,612 --> 00:44:00,592
Preserve Allah's religion
in yourselves. Preserve tawhid.

479
00:44:00,832 --> 00:44:04,068
Preserve the Sunnah.
Preserve Allah's religion in your homes.

480
00:44:04,152 --> 00:44:08,232
Preserve Allah's religion with your
families and with your companions.

481
00:44:09,152 --> 00:44:13,652
Fear Allah concerning character.
Uphold it; do not break it.

482
00:44:14,112 --> 00:44:18,338
Fear Allah regarding the good
customs of your fathers and grandfathers.

483
00:44:18,422 --> 00:44:24,222
If they do not oppose Allah's religion,
hold to them; teach and pass them on.

484
00:44:25,352 --> 00:44:27,252
Protect your land and your blessings.

485
00:44:28,692 --> 00:44:32,612
Do not surrender your ears and hearts
to those who toy with them.

486
00:44:34,232 --> 00:44:39,888
If you find a man turning you
away from your Muslim ruler.

487
00:44:39,972 --> 00:44:43,912
Whether openly or secretly,
know that he is a man of evil.

488
00:44:46,312 --> 00:44:50,492
Beware of him. Guard against him,
and warn your family against him.

489
00:44:52,352 --> 00:44:54,492
I ask Allah ﷻ to accept from everyone.

490
00:44:55,692 --> 00:45:00,188
And make us all
keys to good, locks against evil.

491
00:45:00,272 --> 00:45:02,262
O Allah, preserve the good of the UAE.

492
00:45:02,901 --> 00:45:06,628
O Allah, increase its goodness.
Keep evil and evildoers away from it.

493
00:45:06,712 --> 00:45:10,888
Lord of the worlds.
O Allah, guide its people to every good.

494
00:45:10,972 --> 00:45:13,268
O Allah, our Lord,
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer.

495
00:45:13,352 --> 00:45:17,352
We ask You by Your most beautiful names
and Your loftiest attributes.

496
00:45:17,952 --> 00:45:21,172
to place in this land
what You love and find pleasing.

497
00:45:21,912 --> 00:45:24,858
O Allah, place in this land
what You love and find pleasing.

498
00:45:24,942 --> 00:45:27,728
O Allah, place in this land
what You love and find pleasing.

499
00:45:27,812 --> 00:45:33,788
O Allah, our Lord, Muslim men and
women have set aside time.

500
00:45:33,872 --> 00:45:37,428
out of their schedules and attended
the sessions of this course.

501
00:45:37,512 --> 00:45:39,792
O Allah, fill their hearts
with goodness.

502
00:45:40,192 --> 00:45:43,922
Fill their hearts with happiness.
Fill their hearts with tranquility.

503
00:45:44,252 --> 00:45:47,972
Fill their homes with happiness.
Keep every evil away from them.

504
00:45:48,372 --> 00:45:51,472
Protect them from every evildoer,
Lord of the worlds.

505
00:45:51,772 --> 00:45:54,308
O Allah, our Lord, O Ever-Living,
O Sustainer.

506
00:45:54,392 --> 00:46:00,792
Increase the people of the Emirates
in harmony, and strengthen their unity.

507
00:46:01,142 --> 00:46:07,272
O Allah, our Lord, increase ties
between Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

508
00:46:07,372 --> 00:46:10,692
In goodness, strength, and unity,
Lord of the worlds.

509
00:46:11,022 --> 00:46:17,192
O Allah, spare everyone
from the evil of trials, open and hidden.

510
00:46:17,592 --> 00:46:20,412
And keep every instigator
away from us, Lord of the worlds.

511
00:46:20,712 --> 00:46:23,848
Allah ﷻ Most High knows best.
Bless and grant peace to our Prophet ﷺ.

512
00:46:23,932 --> 00:46:26,692
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy
and blessings.
