[0:09][Music] respected brothers and sisters asalam on the eth of the month

[0:25]of Ramadan we commemorate the legacy of one of the greatest supporters

[0:29]of the Prophet sallallah alai his uncle Abu Talib who sacrificed everything

[0:39]that he had for the sake of Islam when you think of

[0:43]the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi Al Abu Talib is by

[0:48]far one of the greatest companions in the honor of Abu Talib

[0:52]today I would like to discuss with you the biography of Abu

[1:02]alari another great companion of by far one of the greatest Companions

[1:08]of the Prophet sallallah alai Al is abari by studying his life

[1:17]we are honoring his legacy and secondly there are many beautiful lessons

[1:22]that we can learn from the life of Abu this great warrior

[1:26]who truly left his imprint on top time his legacy today continues

[1:36]to inspire millions of Believers around the world Abu alari came from

[1:43]the very well-known Arab tribe of benu gar they were situated close

[1:48]to Medina farther from Mecca they were closer to Medina his name

[1:55]is jund IB junada now the reason why he's called Abu is

[1:59]because he had a son by the name of th the prophet

[2:05]sallallahu alai had also given him the title of Abdullah Abu was

[2:11]a young man in his tribe his tribe would be worshiping the

[2:16]idols there was a famous Idol by the name of manat in

[2:22]their tribe the Holy Quran mentions the three famous Idols of the

[2:26]Arabs they had many Idols hundreds of Idols but these three were

[2:31]the most prominent ones was one major Idol that the Arabs worshiped

[2:39]was another one and the third one this third Idol mentioned in

[2:50]the Holy Quran is called manat according to reports manat for a

[2:54]while was kept in the tribe of Abu you would see his

[3:01]people his relatives his friends going to this Idol worshiping the idol

[3:05]and they would offer food to the idol as an offering sacrificial

[3:10]food for the for their Idols this caught the attention of Abu

[3:17]when Abu was looking at this custom of offering food to the

[3:24]idols he was wondering how will these Idols benefit from this food

[3:28]so he wanted to test how the idol is going to benefit

[3:33]from the food so you know what he does one day he

[3:38]brings a cup of milk and he goes to this Idol of

[3:44]manat and he offers it as a sacrifice just like his tribe

[3:47]would do to see what would happen he put the cup in

[3:52]front of the idol waiting for something to happen nothing happened he

[3:56]stood to the side monitoring seeing somehow is this Idol going to

[4:05]benefit from this milk nothing happened then finally he saw a fox

[4:09]came to this cup and the fox drank the milk that was

[4:12]offered to this Idol and then after the fox finished his very

[4:19]delicious meal he raised one of his legs and he urinated on

[4:24]the idol when Abu saw this scene he's like this is Idol

[4:29]worshiping this is what my people are worshiping an idol that cannot

[4:34]benefit from the food and secondly cannot even defend itself an animal

[4:38]comes and humiliates it in this fashion and there's nothing that the

[4:41]idol can do then and there he really knew that the path

[4:47]of paganism was a corrupt path he was searching for the h

[4:50]his heart always believed in Allah subhah wa ta'ala but now he

[4:57]really wanted to find the H so one day he hears one

[4:58]of his friends had come from meca he told him give me

[5:03]the news what's going on in Mecca he tells him there's this

[5:06]man he thinks he's a prophet he's claiming to be a prophet

[5:11]says really he claims to be a prophet and are his people

[5:13]believing in him he's like no his people are rejecting his message

[5:21]they claim that he is a magician a sorcerer a liar he

[5:24]asked him which tribe does he come from he told him from

[5:31]qur from Ben Hashim he comes from this very important tribe what

[5:35]does he preach he preaches in in monotheism that there's no God

[5:44]but Allah subhah wa ta'ala this intrigued the mind of Abu he

[5:48]really found this new religion to be interested interesting he was interested

[5:53]in exploring the religion that the prophet sallallahu alaihi Al was advocating

[5:58]for before he he decides to go to Mecca he sends his

[6:03]brother anise he tells him anise I have a request can you

[6:08]please go to Mecca meet this prophet and see what he says

[6:11]I'm interesting in knowing about him his brother anise goes to Mecca

[6:17]he meets the prophet sallallah alai he learns the basics of Islam

[6:23]he comes back to the tribe of Abu he tells him Abu

[6:27]I met this man he does claim to be a prophet and

[6:30]he says that there's no God but Allah that he's the messenger

[6:36]of God he tells him okay tell me more what does he

[6:38]believe in he believes in moral values he says killing is Haram

[6:43]adultery is Haram drinking is Haram he upholds these moral values this

[6:48]further intrigued Abu when he heard his brother confirming what the prophet

[6:55]sallallahu alaih Al was teaching in Mecca he de decided to go

[7:03]himself to Mecca and check out this new religion so he leaves

[7:05]his tribe he goes to the city of Mecca he arrives according

[7:11]to reports Before Sunset he's a stranger now he doesn't have any

[7:15]friend any relative in Mecca so he goes in M he's looking

[7:21]at the KA possibly waiting for someone to invite him when the

[7:26]sun set and the night befell Mecca he saw a boy a

[7:33]young man or a boy coming inside M and circulating around the

[7:38]in with so much with so much humbleness with so much spirituality

[7:46]that caught his attention who is this boy what is he doing

[7:50]after that boy finished his ta he noticed there's a new stranger

[7:57]in town so he approached Abu and he told him you look

[8:00]like a stranger he said to the boy yes I am a

[8:04]stranger he told him do you have a place to stay he

[8:07]said no I have nowhere to go he told him come to

[8:13]my house be my guest tonight so Abu goes to the house

[8:15]of that boy the next day he comes to masj Haram he

[8:19]leaves the house of the boy he comes to masam he hears

[8:23]the pagans slandering the prophet sallallahu alaihi Al this man is a

[8:27]liar we need to attack him we need to stop him all

[8:30]he hears the people in Mecca is talking about this new prophet

[8:34]and they're slandering him suddenly a man walked into and everyone kept

[8:42]quiet no one dared to slander the prophet anymore that caught the

[8:48]attention of Abu who is this man he walked and he looked

[8:53]at them with Fierce eyes and everyone was scared to say a

[8:56]word so he asked who is this person he was told this

[9:01]is Abu the uncle of Muhammad when he's in masam no one

[9:14]dares slander his nephew the prophet sallallah alai now Abu imagine he's

[9:20]observing all of this the night also set in that second night

[9:24]Abu still doesn't have a place to go he meets the same

[9:29]Boy The Boy tells him you're still here here he says yes

[9:31]I don't have a place to go he says okay come to

[9:35]my house for three nights Abu spends his time in Mecca in

[9:37]the house of this boy on the third day the young boy

[9:42]asked Abu can I ask you a question please he says sure

[9:46]he says why are you here in Mecca what brought you here

[9:49]from your tribe do you mind telling me Abu initially was hesitant

[9:56]but then he figured that he could trust this boy he tells

[9:59]him it seems that I can trust you you seem to be

[10:04]like someone who has spirituality and you worship the real God he

[10:09]tells him so tell me why are you here he says I've

[10:13]heard there's a prophet here and I have come to meet him

[10:15]do you know anything about him he told him yes I'll take

[10:20]you to him come and follow me but here's a sign if

[10:25]we see anyone monitoring us because it's very dangerous here in Mecca

[10:29]if we bring someone to the prophet sallallahu alaihi we could get

[10:33]arrested or harassed or hurt in some way so if you see

[10:39]me kneeling down bowing down to fix my sandal that's a sign

[10:43]hide someone is watching us and they might arrest us he says

[10:47]okay Abu follows this young boy and this young boy takes him

[10:53]to the house of the Prophet sahu alaihi Al for the first

[10:55]time now Abu meets the prophet sallallahu alaihi Al he is so

[11:02]Overjoyed to meet the prophet and he tells him can you please

[11:04]tell me what your religion preaches so the prophet sallallahu alai gives

[11:07]him a very beautiful summary of the religion of Islam when he

[11:15]hears about the teachings of Islam AB says Abu when he became

[11:27]Muslim he became the fourth Muslim in the history of Islam that's

[11:31]how early Abu joined Islam after Abu became Muslim he asked the

[11:35]prophet sallallahu alaih he told him Yol Allah who's this boy who

[11:41]brought me here and he was so generous to host me for

[11:42]three nights the prophet sallallahu alaih tells him that's my cousin and

[11:47]that's my brother can you imagine Muhammad young Ali young Ali maybe

[11:56]11 years old at this time 12 years old he is playing

[12:01]such an important role in Mecca the prophet gives him advice he

[12:05]tells him Abu go back to your tribe slowly call them to

[12:11]worship Allah subhana wa ta'ala explain the religion of Islam to them

[12:16]also one of your family members has died a cousin has died

[12:22]and you will be inheriting your cousin so go and take that

[12:23]money and spend it in the way of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala Abu

[12:26]Abu decides now to go back to his tribe but he does

[12:32]something that frustrates the mechans before he goes back to his tribe

[12:38]he goes toam and when all of the elders and the elite

[12:40]of qur were gathered there he goes with so much courage and

[12:46]he says I bear witness that there's no God but Allah he's

[12:49]the only Lord I don't accept these idols and I bear witness

[12:54]that Muhammad sallahu alaih Al is the messenger of Allah when the

[12:58]pagans of qur see this young man he has the courage and

[13:02]the audacity to reject their Idols they told him how dare you

[13:09]reject our Idols so they surround him and they beat him such

[13:12]that he bleeds and he almost dies they give him a very

[13:18]severe beating who comes to his rescue Al Abbas Al Abbas was

[13:21]the uncle of the Prophet sallallahu alaih at this time he had

[13:26]not become Muslim yet but he told the mechans look it's not

[13:29]in our interest to kill this young man because he comes from

[13:35]the very powerful tribe of benu and our route to Medina and

[13:38]toam passes by their tribe so if you're going to kill him

[13:44]we're going to get in trouble we cannot do business on the

[13:47]Caravan route anymore so they let him free Abu now goes back

[13:53]to his tribe and he begins to slowly teach his family about

[13:56]the religion of Islam his mother becomes Muslim and also his brother

[14:01]anise they become Muslim and a few of his friends become Muslim

[14:05]now the years pass by the prophet sallallahu alaih Al migrates from

[14:12]Mecca to Medina according to one report when the prophet migrated from

[14:17]Mecca to Medina on his way to Medina Abu heard that the

[14:21]prophet is going to Y because he was not too far from

[14:25]yth so he decides to go and meet the prophet he goes

[14:27]he sees the prophet on his camel he's so excited to see

[14:33]and he gives him the good news that y my mother has

[14:37]become Muslim my brother has become Muslim a number of my friends

[14:40]have become Muslim the prophet becomes very happy for him and he

[14:45]prays for the tribe of Banu and he says may Allah subhah

[14:48]wa ta'ala forgive them according to this report the prophet now goes

[14:55]to Medina about a couple of years later after the battle of

[14:59]Abu migrated to the city of Medina and he has the honor

[15:04]of living in that first Muslim Community Abu would take advantage of

[15:08]his time in Medina to benefit from the wisdom of so one

[15:14]day Abu goes to meet the prophet sallallah alai he says I

[15:20]went I saw the prophet in his Masjid alone Witham there was

[15:24]no one else except these two they were talking to one another

[15:28]the prophet was teaching IM I went I said my Salam to

[15:33]the prophet I asked the prophet please give me some words of

[15:36]advice please educate me the prophet told me AB come you are

[15:45]from us the bait that's how high in his Rank and Status

[15:50]Abu was such that the prophet sallallahu alaih considered him from the

[15:56]you're like my family come so the prophet gives Abu those powerful

[16:01]lines of advice that have guided so many people throughout history I

[16:06]will share with you some words of advice that the prophet sallallahu

[16:11]alaih gave to Abu one of the beautiful words of advice that

[16:13]the prophet gave to him he told him yaah my family the

[16:18]bit is like the Ark of prophet n if you want to

[16:19]be saved you have to get on this Ark follow my after

[16:25]me another piece of advice that the prophet sallallahu alaih gave him

[16:30]was that he told him take advantage of five before five take

[16:40]advantage of your health before you become sick take advantage of your

[16:48]free time before you become busy those of you who think you

[16:55]are busy right now especially the youngsters wait till you get older

[16:58]and how much more busy you will become any free time you

[17:01]have now take advantage of it take advantage of your life before

[17:08]death now you're alive take advantage of it beautiful words of advice

[17:13]imagine Abu absorbing all of this from the prophet sallallah alai another

[17:18]word of advice that the prophet gave him he told him yah

[17:21]don't look at the size of your sin sometimes we sin and

[17:27]we think the sin is small it's a small lifee here it's

[17:31]just a word that I said there it's just one Haram look

[17:33]big deal I listen to 5 minutes to music big deal we

[17:36]underestimate the size of our sins the prophet tells Abu ya Abu

[17:42]do not look at the size of your sin look at whom

[17:47]you've sinned against even if it's a small sin in your eyes

[17:52]you've sinned against the king of the universe you violated the king

[17:59]of the universe this advice was moving Abu absorbing all of this

[18:04]from the prophet sallallah alai another word of advice that the prophet

[18:07]sallallahu alaih Al gave him was the following he told him any

[18:13]shab young man who sacrifices his youth for the sake of Allah

[18:15]subhana wa ta'ala and he says no to Haram he says no

[18:21]to this dun Allah will give him the reward of 72 sik

[18:26]you know who the sik are sik are those righteous people who

[18:30]firmly believe in Allah they're at the rank of prophets this is

[18:35]a message for all the youth say no to your desires Allah

[18:41]will give you this massive reward so we find beautiful words of

[18:44]advice that the prophet sallallahu alaih Al would give Abu another word

[18:50]of advice this is for those alhamdulillah who come to the mass

[18:53]of Allah subhana wa taala he tells him be amongst those who

[19:01]raise to the house of Allah those who raiseed to the Masjid

[19:04]on the day of judgment if you raise to the mid to

[19:08]the house of Allah and you worship Allah subhana tala in the

[19:11]Masjid you will be amongst those who will carry the banner of

[19:17]success and you'll be amongst the first ones to achieve success on

[19:21]the day of judgment Abu is taking all this in and Abu

[19:27]was known to contemplate for some of us we listen to a

[19:30]word of advice it enters in this ear and it exits the

[19:35]other ear but not Abu he would s and think and think

[19:37]and think once Omar his wife was asked what was abu's main

[19:45]schedule program what did he do she said most of the day

[19:47]he would be sitting and contemplating and he would be thinking according

[19:55]to oneith attributed to he said do you know what's the of

[20:01]Abu most of his most of the worship of Abu was contemplation

[20:07]he would think about Allah how to better themselves how to guide

[20:10]people in his society and many many people would come to him

[20:17]and seek advice from him unfortunately Muslims today have forgotten the legacy

[20:22]of Abu we need to remember his beautiful gems one day a

[20:25]man comes to him and he tells him yeah AB why is

[20:29]it that we hate death what's the matter with us why do

[20:35]we hate death look at his beautiful response he says very simple

[20:49]you've built this world and you've destroyed the who is interested in

[20:55]leaving his building and going into ruins that's why you hate the

[20:59]and another man asked him give me advice he told him I

[21:05]have a word of advice for you Those whom you love don't

[21:09]hurt or harass them the man was surprised he told him y

[21:13]AB why would I ever harass or hurt those who I'm love

[21:18]whom I love of course I would not do that he told

[21:22]him yes you're constantly doing that don't you love your nefs don't

[21:26]you love yourself every time you sin you're harassing and hurting your

[21:30]neps this word of advice truly moved that person so we find

[21:37]Abu among the top Companions of alaih who absorbed the knowledge of

[21:43]s alai and he became a source of guidance in his um

[21:47]listen to the words of the prophet sallallahu alaih in honor of

[21:52]Abu in one Hadith the prophet said Abu is the S of

[21:59]this in another Hadith the prophet s alai stated can you imagine

[22:08]is saying Abu is like Jesus Son of Mary in my um

[22:12]Jesus Son of Mary one of the greatest messengers of Allah the

[22:17]prophet is comparing Jesus to Abu because he was at such a

[22:25]high rank and he is one of those four companions that the

[22:29]prophet sallallahu alai said to them Heaven Longs for four this is

[22:42]theith of the Prophet sallallahu Al Heaven misses these four IMI AB

[22:48]he was one of them one of these four and according to

[22:53]another Hadith attributed to IM he says on the day of judgment

[22:56]an angel will come and make an announcement where are the close

[23:05]companions the of prophet Muhammad sah Al because every Prophet every messenger

[23:10]has a close Inner Circle of companions who are they the Imam

[23:14]says these will stand upar will stand up Abu will stand up

[23:20]Salman andd they will stand up on the day of judgment so

[23:22]there is no doubt that by far one of the best companions

[23:28]in the history of Islam and one of the best righteous people

[23:31]to walk on the earth in the history of humankind was Abu

[23:35]alari now an interesting incident happened during the days of the Prophet

[23:41]sallallahu alaih before the battle of tabuk the Prophet sallallahu Al mobilized

[23:47]his people to go to the Battle of tabuk he had IM

[23:52]stay in Medina now the Hypocrites and those who envied Imam Ali

[23:57]they started spreading rumors that the prophet doesn't like Imam Ali so

[24:02]he got rid of him by keeping him in Medina IM Ali

[24:06]was extremely upset he took out his sword and he went to

[24:09]the Army of the Prophet because they had just left Medina he

[24:11]caught up to the Army he told him yasol Allah some people

[24:15]are saying that you left me behind in Medina because I'm a

[24:19]burden on you is that true the prophet was so disappointed to

[24:26]hear these rumors the prophet sallallah alai said his famous statement there

[24:32]he told him let me please you now let me satisfy you

[24:35]you are unto me like harun was unto M and by saying

[24:43]this statement the prophet put an end to all those rumors now

[24:46]some of the Hypocrites they did not want to go to war

[24:50]so as the prophet was marching to tabuk tabuk is close to

[24:53]Syria north of Medina so as the prophet was going there every

[24:59]once in a while the companions tell him y Allah that companion

[25:05]is out he's not joining us he left the Army the prophet

[25:09]would say if there is goodness in that companion Allah will give

[25:13]him the success of joining us meaning mind your own business don't

[25:16]worry about the Hypocrites then they came and they they told the

[25:21]prophet sallallahu alai yah abu's missing he's not with us with the

[25:26]Caravan with the army the prophet said the same thing if Allah

[25:31]sees goodness in him he'll make him join don't worry let's move

[25:35]now Abu was trying to catch up with the Army but he

[25:43]had a very slow and a very thin mode of transportation like

[25:49]his camel was exhausted it could not catch up Abu was now

[25:53]extremely upset what do I do I can't miss this battle with

[25:57]the prophet sallallahu alaih Al I need to go and defend the

[26:00]prophet of my time but I can't catch up with this camel

[26:03]so you know what he does In the Heat of the desert

[26:05]he leaves his camel and he starts walking and running so can

[26:10]so he can catch up to the Muslim Army he is now

[26:12]struck with thirst so he finds some cold water a spring under

[26:18]a rock when he feels the coolness of the water and he's

[26:25]about to drink he says no I will not drink before myib

[26:27]drinks I can't drink the prophet has to drink before me suddenly

[26:33]he catches up to the Caravan of the Prophet The Companions tell

[26:40]him Yol Allah we see someone approaching the prophet says perhaps this

[26:45]may be Abu when he approaches they realize that this is Abu

[26:49]and he was extremely thirsty exhausted the prophet said bring him some

[26:53]water look at Abu he's very thirsty he's dehydrated so when he

[26:59]comes to the prophet sallallahu alai and they're about to give him

[27:04]water Abu he opens his jug of water fine cold water the

[27:09]prophet looks at him he tells him Abu you have water with

[27:11]you you look exhausted if you have water with you why didn't

[27:17]you drink it he told him Yol Allah I came across this

[27:19]good water cold water I said I would not drink before you

[27:25]would drink at that point the prophet sallallahu alaihi made his face

[27:31]famous statement the prophet sallallahu alai Al gave an Accolade a trophy

[27:35]to Abu and he said no sky has covered and no land

[27:47]has carried this world has not carried someone more truthful than Abu

[27:57]then the prophet sallallahu Al said to him you shall live alone

[28:02]you'll die alone on the day of judgment you'll be resurrected alone

[28:08]and you'll enter Heaven by yourself all alone the prophet sallallahu alai

[28:16]gave him this trophy he gave him this Accolade so this was

[28:20]around the Battle of tabuk now we come to the tragedy of

[28:23]the martydom of and the tragedy of the martydom of Lady fa

[28:29]Abu always stood by the side of Al my IM just give

[28:35]me the signal anything I will do to sacrifice my life for

[28:38]you when F was passing away she told IM aliam I don't

[28:45]want anyone to attend my funeral because they oppressed me she made

[28:48]an exception only for seven Abu was one of those seven who

[28:54]was given permission by Lady fa to go and attend the burial

[28:57]and the funeral that's how close he was to the and then

[29:03]after the prophet sallallahu alaihi any time Abu would find the opportunity

[29:07]to stand up for the truth he would stand up for the

[29:12]truth one report one report tells us that when Abu Bakr became

[29:15]the Khalifa and his caliphate was imposed on the people he stood

[29:18]up in front of Abu Bakr with so much courage and he

[29:23]said everyone here knows that the prophet sallallah alai appointed IM Ali

[29:27]to be the Al and then he rebuked the Muslims he told

[29:33]them shame on you because of this D you're destroying your you

[29:37]are abandoning the path of the Prophet sallallahu alaih just like previous

[29:42]prophets were abandoned you're abandoning he showed that exceptional courage in fighting

[29:50]for the right of now my dear brothers and sisters come to

[29:54]the time ofman that's when really the trial int intensified for Abu

[30:01]Abu sawman brought his family the family of Maran the family of

[30:06]B he brought them to power and they were sucking up the

[30:11]resources and the wealth of the Muslim umah and there was so

[30:14]much corruption there was so much Financial Injustice that was happening Abu

[30:18]could not take that anymore so you know what he did he

[30:23]would go around the city in Medina and he would recite verses

[30:25]34 and 35 of Surah those who hoard the gold and silver

[30:41]meaning you and the and you don't spend it in the way

[30:47]of Allah subhana wa ta'ala give them news of a very severe

[30:56]punishment on the day of judgment listen to this very powerful verse

[31:11]that Abu would recite the gold and silver that you are hoarding

[31:14]on the day of judgment it will be heated in the fire

[31:20]of hell and then have you seen iron or gold when it's

[31:26]red hot and then that will be taken on your body and

[31:28]and your body will be ironed with it he would just go

[31:33]and recite this verse so soan sent a man a representative an

[31:37]agent to Abu and he told him Abu be quiet stop you're

[31:42]exposing man Abu said I'm just reciting the Holy Quran what's the

[31:48]problem that you have you want to stop me from reciting the

[31:50]book of Allah I'm not going to do that I'm not going

[31:55]to please at the expense of displeasing Allah subhana tala never never

[31:59]would I do that then one day Abu was in the presence

[32:04]ofman whenman wanted to take a loan from the public funds he

[32:07]wanted to take the money so he asked is it okay if

[32:11]I borrow some money from the public Treasury and then I'll give

[32:15]it back who came from a Jewish background he said yeah sure

[32:18]why not he would give his own fatwa Abu told him who

[32:21]are you to give your own fatwa I know about my religion

[32:26]more than you get out of here no it's Haram for you

[32:28]you to take this money from the Muslim treasury this money is

[32:33]not yours on what basis do you want to take it so

[32:35]at this point he was fed up with Abu so he sends

[32:38]him to muawiya in sham he got rid of him I can't

[32:43]stand him muaah you deal with him but this is Abu no

[32:48]one could control him he went to Sham to muaah and he

[32:51]caused the biggest headache for muaah he saw the Palaces of muaah

[32:54]and the poverty of the people and he began to say MUA

[32:58]what's this B what's this Innovation which Sunnah are you following if

[33:01]this is Allah's money that you use to build your palaces then

[33:07]this is theana you're betraying Allah and if this is your own

[33:10]personal Mone this is ISF this is extravagance this is weights full

[33:13]and he would rebuke mua mua was very frustrated he told him

[33:19]look if had given me the permission to kill you I'd kill

[33:21]you right now but what do I do so then he kicks

[33:26]him out of the city Abu takes the best advantage of that

[33:30]you know where where what he does after he gets kicked out

[33:33]of Damascus he goes to J in modern day Lebanon and he

[33:40]starts preaching Islam and preaching the path of that's why our Scholars

[33:46]and historians believe that the seed of in Lebanon goes back to

[33:49]Abu during the time that he spent there in the Palestine Levant

[33:52]area he spent time in Lebanon and he guided people to the

[33:57]path of IM Ali Alam that's why historically the sh have a

[34:00]presence of Lebanon mua went crazy this guy's going everywhere making sh

[34:08]of this is unacceptable so he writes toan he tells himman abu's

[34:12]presence is destroying my government here please take him backman says okay

[34:18]send him back but humiliate him put him on the worst mode

[34:21]of transportation like a camel without a saddle and tell the driver

[34:28]of the Cel camel to travel day and night don't let him

[34:31]rest so they humiliate Abu in that fashion until he goes back

[34:38]to Medina when Abu arrives Medina his body was bruised this is

[34:41]what they did to the companion of the prophet and they tell

[34:43]you all the companions masallah they're all good they're all just when

[34:48]they tried to kill Abu like that you want me to respect

[34:50]someone who does this to Abu whom the prophet says he's in

[34:55]this what kind of ideology is this brothers and sister SS but

[35:00]Abu doesn't stop he keeps standing up for the truth and exposing

[35:05]time and time and time again one day Abu was in the

[35:12]presence ofman when a 100,000 coins were presented before him Durham silver

[35:17]coins Abu told him what do you want to do with this

[35:21]money he told him I'm thinking this is 100,000 I'll wait till

[35:26]I get 200,000 and then I'll decide what I want to do

[35:31]with it Abu tells him don't you remember one day you and

[35:33]I you and I we went to see in Medina we greeted

[35:39]him the prophet sallallahu alaih Al was so upset was so upset

[35:42]that he did not properly greet us back so we were surprised

[35:48]what's happening with the prophet the next day we saw the prophet

[35:51]he was now happy and he greeted us back we told him

[35:54]Yol Allah what happened to you yesterday why were you so upset

[35:57]the prophet told us yesterday after I distributed the funds of the

[36:02]Muslims I was left with four coins I was worried that I

[36:08]would die tonight before giving these four coins to the Muslims that's

[36:12]why I was upset and alhamdulillah today I gave it to the

[36:15]poor people he says that's your Prophet four coins he wouldn't sleep

[36:20]you have 100,000 coins and you want another 100,000 he kept exposing

[36:25]man time and time and time again one day decided to bribe
