00:01:10,703 --> 00:01:11,946 Khabbab Ibn Al-Aratt 26 00:01:12,197 --> 00:01:13,346 He didn't speak 27 00:01:14,041 --> 00:01:15,588 All what he did was 28 00:01:15,838 --> 00:01:17,010 Lift his shirt

Ibn Al-Aratt 56 00:02:15,549 --> 00:02:17,526 Had something to complain about 57 00:02:18,574 --> 00:02:20,723 This was severe pain that he was going through 58 00:02:21,523 --> 00:02:23,273 And all what he asked for is 59 00:02:23,328 --> 00:02:25,359 يا رسول الله الا تستنصر لنا 60 00:02:25,398 --> 00:02:26,297 O Rasulullah 61 00:02:26,526 --> 00:02:28,597 Why don't you ask Allah to give us victory 62 00:02:29,988 --> 00:02:32,020 What was the response of Rasulullah [SAWS] 63 00:02:33,122 --> 00:02:35,754 Rasulullah (SAWS) he sat straight 64 00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:37,981 And his face turned red 65 00:02:38,051 --> 00:02:41,254 And that would happen to Rasulullah (SAWS) when he would become angry 66 00:02:42,214 --> 00:02:43,144 And then he said 67 00:02:43,902 --> 00:02:45,956 كان يئتى بمن كان قبلكم 68 00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:50,331 فينشر بمنشار الحديد ما بين لحمه و عصبه و عظمه 69 00:02:50,753 --> 00:02:52,370 فلا يرده ذلك عن دينه 70 00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:57,138 و كان يئتى باحدهم فيوضع المنشار على مفرق راسه 71 00:02:57,523 --> 00:02:59,046 فيشق نصفين 72 00:02:59,451 --> 00:03:00,655 فلا يدع دينه 73 00:03:01,377 --> 00:03:04,954 و ليتمن الله هذا الامر حتى يسير الراكب من صنعاء 74 00:03:05,031 --> 00:03:08,016 الى حضرموت لا يخاف الا الله و الذئب على غنمه 75 00:03:08,755 --> 00:03:10,083 Rasulullah (SAWS) said 76 00:03:10,435 --> 00:03:13,943 A believer among those who were before you, used to be combed 77 00:03:14,138 --> 00:03:15,365 With iron combs 78 00:03:15,915 --> 00:03:18,837 That it would separate the flesh and nerves 79 00:03:19,052 --> 00:03:20,131 From their bones 80 00:03:20,685 --> 00:03:22,536 So you would have iron combs 81 00:03:22,895 --> 00:03:23,785 And they would 82 00:03:24,385 --> 00:03:27,229 Comb the flesh of their bones 83 00:03:28,509 --> 00:03:30,384 But they would never desert their religion 84 00:03:31,634 --> 00:03:33,220 And they would bring one of them 85 00:03:33,712 --> 00:03:35,353 And place a saw 86 00:03:36,165 --> 00:03:37,345 On top of their heads 87 00:03:38,344 --> 00:03:40,954 And they would be cut into two halves 88 00:03:41,786 --> 00:03:44,543 And yet they would never give up their religion 89 00:03:45,145 --> 00:03:46,153 In the name of Allah 90 00:03:46,661 --> 00:03:48,981 Allah will give his religion victory 91 00:03:49,528 --> 00:03:53,778 Until a traveler will go from Sana'a all the way to Hadramaut 92 00:03:54,048 --> 00:03:55,806 Fearing no one but Allah 93 00:03:57,162 --> 00:03:58,748 What can we learn from this Hadith 94 00:03:59,607 --> 00:04:01,982 Number one Rasulullah (SAWS) 95 00:04:02,217 --> 00:04:03,607 Is asking us to be patient 96 00:04:04,607 --> 00:04:05,373 Be patient 97 00:04:06,027 --> 00:04:08,684 Even if you are going through a lot, be patient 98 00:04:08,777 --> 00:04:09,621 Never give up 99 00:04:11,206 --> 00:04:13,628 All what Khabbab Ibn Al-Aratt was going through 100 00:04:13,683 --> 00:04:15,745 Still Rasulullah (SAWS) is telling him be patient 101 00:04:16,925 --> 00:04:17,894 The second lesson 102 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,354 Allah (SWT) has some laws 103 00:04:21,837 --> 00:04:23,954 Just like there are laws in nature 104 00:04:24,103 --> 00:04:25,798 There are laws of history 105 00:04:26,049 --> 00:04:27,955 There are laws of sociology 106 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,122 There are laws of psychology 107 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,432 And there are laws in the establishment of religion 108 00:04:34,041 --> 00:04:36,244 And you will have to go through these stages 109 00:04:36,979 --> 00:04:39,846 And Allah (SWT) will not give you an exception 110 00:04:40,088 --> 00:04:43,346 You will have to go through what the nations before you went through 111 00:04:44,061 --> 00:04:45,327 This is what they went through 112 00:04:46,466 --> 00:04:47,989 The same will happen with you 113 00:04:48,665 --> 00:04:50,681 And Rasulullah (SAWS) wanted 114 00:04:50,811 --> 00:04:52,905 his Ummah to be the best of nations 115 00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:57,315 If the people before were patient, I want my Ummah to be more patient 116 00:04:58,347 --> 00:05:01,378 If the people before were strong, I want my people to be stronger 117 00:05:02,151 --> 00:05:03,994 And that is why Rasulullah (SAWS) was angry 118 00:05:04,597 --> 00:05:06,277 He wants the best 119 00:05:06,878 --> 00:05:07,909 To be in his Ummah 120 00:05:08,605 --> 00:05:10,917 He wants his Ummah to show the best example 121 00:05:11,322 --> 00:05:12,986 He wants to be proud with us 122 00:05:13,118 --> 00:05:14,236 On the day of judgment 123 00:05:14,618 --> 00:05:17,376 Therefore dear brothers and sisters we have to live up 124 00:05:18,736 --> 00:05:21,126 To what Rasulullah (SAWS) expects from us 125 00:05:21,651 --> 00:05:24,683 He wants to meet us on the day of judgment and see us 126 00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:26,470 And he wants to be proud with us 127 00:05:26,794 --> 00:05:29,161 And Rasulullah (SAWS) has stated this in a few hadiths 128 00:05:29,885 --> 00:05:32,299 For example in one Hadith Rasulullah (SAWS) says: 129 00:05:32,496 --> 00:05:34,972 I want you to get married and to multiply 130 00:05:35,352 --> 00:05:38,556 Because I want to be proud with your numbers on the day of judgment 131 00:05:38,864 --> 00:05:40,474 He even wants to be proud with our numbers 132 00:05:40,764 --> 00:05:42,990 So he is asking us to have a lot of kids 133 00:05:43,997 --> 00:05:45,950 And he is asking us to get married 134 00:05:46,662 --> 00:05:48,638 And Rasulullah (SAWS) said in another hadith 135 00:05:49,334 --> 00:05:50,412 I saw 136 00:05:51,170 --> 00:05:53,982 A huge nation in front of my eyes 137 00:05:55,064 --> 00:05:57,486 So I asked the angels who were accompanying me 138 00:05:57,565 --> 00:05:58,542 Is this my Ummah (nation) ? 139 00:05:59,115 --> 00:06:01,326 They said no, this is not your Ummah, This is the Ummah of Musa (Moses) 140 00:06:01,709 --> 00:06:02,802 These are bani Israil (Children of Israel) 141 00:06:03,779 --> 00:06:07,099 So Bani Israil is the second largest Ummah after the Ummah of Muhammad (SAWS) 142 00:06:07,255 --> 00:06:08,474 It's a huge numbers 143 00:06:09,013 --> 00:06:12,326 So the greatest Ummah after the Ummah of Muhammad (SAWS) is the children of Israel 144 00:06:13,435 --> 00:06:15,795 And then the Angels told me: look at your right side 145 00:06:16,272 --> 00:06:18,046 So I looked and I saw 146 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,344 People filling the horizon 147 00:06:20,977 --> 00:06:22,531 They told me look at the left side 148 00:06:22,742 --> 00:06:25,414 And I looked and I saw people filling the horizon 149 00:06:26,586 --> 00:06:27,867 The Angels told me 150 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,336 This is your Ummah 151 00:06:29,898 --> 00:06:30,922 In addition to them 152 00:06:31,157 --> 00:06:33,985 Allah will give you 70000 who will enter paradise 153 00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:35,397 without going through Reckoning 154 00:06:35,886 --> 00:06:38,495 Rasulullah (SAWS) said in another narration of the hadith 155 00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:40,402 That I was very impressed 156 00:06:40,611 --> 00:06:41,736 By their looks 157 00:06:42,462 --> 00:06:45,055 I was so impressed by their looks, I was proud 158 00:06:45,712 --> 00:06:50,095 And the interpretation, the interpreters of the hadith, the commentators of the hadith said: 159 00:06:50,233 --> 00:06:51,749 Rasulullah (SAWS) was impressed 160 00:06:51,991 --> 00:06:54,796 Because he saw on them the signs of Sujud and Wudhu (Prostration and washing before prayer) 161 00:06:56,313 --> 00:06:59,102 And that made light shine out of their faces 162 00:06:59,485 --> 00:07:01,289 So Rasulullah (SAWS) loves this 163 00:07:01,547 --> 00:07:03,422 He loves to see his Ummah in the best 164 00:07:03,782 --> 00:07:04,821 Shape and form 165 00:07:05,907 --> 00:07:07,508 So he is telling Khabbab Ibn Al-Aratt 166 00:07:08,398 --> 00:07:09,429 You have to be patient 167 00:07:09,858 --> 00:07:11,701 This is what happened to the people before 168 00:07:11,952 --> 00:07:13,171 You have to 169 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,601 Go through that and you have to show 170 00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:16,764 a better example 171 00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:19,325 Third lesson to be learned 172 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:22,945 Rasulullah (SAWS) said Allah will complete his religion 173 00:07:23,842 --> 00:07:25,631 Until a traveler will leave 174 00:07:26,147 --> 00:07:28,279 From Sana (in Yemen) all the way to Hadrarmaut 175 00:07:29,334 --> 00:07:30,850 Fearing no one but Allah 176 00:07:32,256 --> 00:07:33,865 How come Rasulullah (SAWS) 177 00:07:34,123 --> 00:07:35,427 chose Sana and Hadramaut 178 00:07:35,467 --> 00:07:36,631 Rasulullah was in Makkah 179 00:07:37,084 --> 00:07:38,006 Why didn't he 180 00:07:38,131 --> 00:07:38,943 Use Makkah 181 00:07:39,334 --> 00:07:40,576 As a reference point 182 00:07:41,303 --> 00:07:42,896 Since they were insecure 183 00:07:43,295 --> 00:07:45,240 How come not speak about their insecurity 184 00:07:45,303 --> 00:07:47,756 How come Rasulullah (SAWS) Is bringing an example from Yemen 185 00:07:48,026 --> 00:07:49,971 Both Sana and Hadramaut are in Yemen 186 00:07:50,299 --> 00:07:51,729 Now since this 187 00:07:51,851 --> 00:07:54,453 Relates to somebody who was going through insecurity 188 00:07:54,531 --> 00:07:55,156 In Makkah 189 00:07:55,351 --> 00:07:57,397 How come Rasulullah didn't say Makkah and Madinah 190 00:07:58,176 --> 00:07:59,207 Makkah and Hajar 191 00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,729 Makkah and Syria 192 00:08:01,932 --> 00:08:04,283 Or how come you didn't choose two reference points 193 00:08:04,330 --> 00:08:05,236 In another country 194 00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:07,002 Now come Sana and Hadramaut 195 00:08:07,580 --> 00:08:08,924 There is something interesting 196 00:08:09,498 --> 00:08:13,452 In the choice of Rasulullah (SAWS) of these particular two areas in Yemen 197 00:08:14,418 --> 00:08:16,886 Yemen used to be and still is 198 00:08:17,129 --> 00:08:18,558 A very tribal society 199 00:08:19,472 --> 00:08:21,847 And in the time of Rasulullah (SAWS) 200 00:08:22,394 --> 00:08:24,918 All of that area was covered by 201 00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:26,418 Armed tribes 202 00:08:26,926 --> 00:08:27,629 Who had 203 00:08:27,870 --> 00:08:29,183 Constant war 204 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:30,050 Between them 205 00:08:31,050 --> 00:08:31,816 And 206 00:08:32,053 --> 00:08:33,608 They were in rivalry 207 00:08:34,029 --> 00:08:35,576 And it was insecure 208 00:08:36,693 --> 00:08:38,795 When Islam entered into Yemen 209 00:08:38,873 --> 00:08:40,943 During the time of Rasulullah (SAWS) 210 00:08:42,038 --> 00:08:44,468 Islam made the whole area peaceful 211 00:08:45,450 --> 00:08:46,474 Subhan Allah 212 00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:48,787 Now when people are 213 00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:50,591 Getting away from Islam 214 00:08:50,623 --> 00:08:52,388 And We are missing the Islamic rule 215 00:08:53,318 --> 00:08:56,912 That same area between Sana and Hadramaut today 216 00:08:57,238 --> 00:08:59,941 Is one of the most insecure areas in Yemen 217 00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:02,988 And if somebody wants to travel 218 00:09:03,776 --> 00:09:07,057 Through a particular route that will go through the tribal areas 219 00:09:07,402 --> 00:09:09,012 Between Sana and Hadramaut 220 00:09:09,657 --> 00:09:10,798 Forget about 221 00:09:10,946 --> 00:09:12,946 Traveling if you are not armed 222 00:09:14,001 --> 00:09:18,805 So Subhan Allah, A very interesting that Rasulullah (SAWS) chose this area 223 00:09:19,352 --> 00:09:23,086 Which is now one of the more insecure areas in the world 224 00:09:23,524 --> 00:09:24,727 As a reference 225 00:09:24,977 --> 00:09:25,977 To say that 226 00:09:26,362 --> 00:09:28,159 You cannot have peace without Islam 227 00:09:28,690 --> 00:09:30,471 And this leads to the fifth lesson 228 00:09:30,715 --> 00:09:32,747 That there is no comprehensive peace 229 00:09:33,539 --> 00:09:35,243 Unless Islam reigns 230 00:09:36,648 --> 00:09:39,836 Under Islam people will have true peace 231 00:09:41,367 --> 00:09:44,406 صلى الله على سيدنا محمد و على اله و صحبه و سلم
