[3:24]Muhammaduhammed.

[3:31]Last night we began our discussion brief minieries on the shahad of

[3:42]imass where we said that we will be discussing three parts of

[3:46]the life of the imam that we have divided his life in

[3:52]three parts.

[3:52]The first part we discussed yesterday which is from his birth till

[4:00]the shahada of and that part was approximately seven years approximately seven

[4:09]or eight years of his life.

[4:11]Tonight if Allah gives us we'll take a look at the second

[4:15]part in the life of Ali and that is with his father

[4:22]the time he spent with his father after which lasted for approximately

[4:34]30 years from the year 11 after HR in the year 11

[4:36]after HR until the year 40 after Hijra That first part we

[4:45]discussed last night was the upbringing part.

[4:49]How and played a role in the upbringing of Al Hassan and

[4:55]the preparation of Al Hass and Al Hussein for their roles as

[5:03]imams.

[5:01]We also discussed the greatness of Al Hass in that discussion from

[5:11]yesterday.

[5:10]Today inshallah we will take a look at the period now that

[5:16]we can call the preparation for imm.

[5:21]So is now preparing IM to become the leader of the um

[5:31]after him.

[5:31]Tomorrow if Allah gives us we'll discuss the third part in the

[5:38]life of Alass which is after the shahad of until his and

[5:45]that's about 10 years from the year 40 till the year 50

[5:52]after so the im approximately at the age of 47 today if

[5:57]Allah gives us we'll discuss this middle period in the life of

[6:02]of the im just after the shahada of and his mother until

[6:10]the shahada of this period.

[6:19]The im spent the first 25 years of that period approximately from

[6:26]the year 11 after hijra till the year 35 after hijra he

[6:29]spent watching and seeing his brother his father's interactions with the three

[6:36]caiffs who came after before he was closely observing what is happening,

[6:46]how the im is dealing with the situation.

[6:50]And then comes the period of foram.

[6:56]He was always he was the of from day one.

[7:05]But the people deprived him of the in the worldly context until

[7:11]the year 35 after when the came to him.

[7:14]Towards the end of the year, the historians say that the third

[7:24]Khalifa was killed in in the month of so that's when then

[7:27]people came to him and they pledged their allegiance to him to

[7:36]become the Khalifa.

[7:32]The total time for the of iming is four years and 8

[7:42]months.

[7:43]So it's just below five years the total duration.

[7:45]So we will talk inshallah about those two periods.

[7:50]In the period where the imm was not given the power of

[7:59]the worldly power like I said he is im saw how his

[8:05]father interacted with the three caiffs.

[8:08]Now immediately after the death of the events transpired the Imam saw

[8:19]all the calamities all the tragedies that were inflicted upon the house

[8:22]of the prophet sallallahu alaihi and upon his mother Fatim.

[8:26]It is said also that when the imam was young, seven years

[8:32]old, eight years old as we mentioned when his grandfather left this

[8:35]dunya, the first khalifa came to power, he went to the first

[8:42]khalifa while he was on the member one day.

[8:45]So I im Hassan comes to the first Khalifa while the first

[8:48]Khalifa was on the member and Im Hassan looks at him in

[8:50]front of the people of the companions and he tells him step

[8:56]down from the member of my grandfather and the member of my

[9:02]father.

[9:01]Now that's a very important statement by the way brothers and sisters

[9:10]people know this is the grandson of and just literally a couple

[9:15]days ago they saw the prophet you know holding him carrying him

[9:18]kissing him etc etc so now he comes here at the same

[9:23]time now the first khalifa really did not know what how to

[9:26]interact with the situation this is I mean in his perspective this

[9:28]is a child a child is coming and telling him step down

[9:33]from the member of my father and my grandfather and my father.

[9:36]So he looked at him to kind of diffuse the situation.

[9:40]He says yes this is the member of your grandfather and your

[9:44]father you know he kind of asserted his statement later said that

[9:51]you know he came in and he said to the first khalifa

[9:55]I did not tell him to do this and don't try to

[9:57]accuse me that yeah Ali you're sending your sons now to come

[10:02]and attack me while I'm on the member this did not come

[10:04]from me and the first khalifa said I know I know I

[10:10]I I understand Okay.

[10:12]So you find right there from this childhood supporting and im defending

[10:23]the truth.

[10:22]Now this of course he saw his mother defending im becoming the

[10:30]first shahid for im the first person to be martyed for the

[10:33]sake of imam.

[10:37]At the same time then he started observing his father while he

[10:44]did not approve of the that came before him but he did

[10:51]not completely disconnect himself from them because he knew that they will

[10:56]need him and hence for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[11:01]he will support them and he did it is narrated by who

[11:08]compiled he has a book called in that book he says that

[11:20]the first problem encountered the first after and when he took the

[11:30]position of one day they brought him somebody and they told him

[11:33]this person was caught drinking What shall we do with him?

[11:39]The man who was caught drinking says, "I am new to Islam.

[11:45]I just became a Muslim not too long ago and no one

[11:50]told me that drinking is forbidden in Islam.

[11:53]I did not know." So now the first Khalifa is wondering how

[11:57]to deal with this situation.

[12:00]Here is someone who was caught drinking but he claims that he

[12:03]did not know.

[12:06]So what do you do?

[12:05]So he turns to Omar.

[12:09]He says, "Yeah, Omar, what do you think we should do here?"

[12:12]He told him, "Are you asking me?" He said, "Then who shall

[12:17]we ask?" He says, he says, "Who else then other than call

[12:24]him?" So they call imman goes with him.

[12:31]Salman goes with to the masjid and the Imam comes the IM

[12:36]looks at them and says to the Khalifa send two men with

[12:45]him to go around the city of Medina asking people in the

[12:49]city of Medina did anyone tell this man that drinking is haram

[12:53]it's not allowed if no No one no one in the city

[13:01]of Medina says that we told him he did not know will

[13:04]assume that he did not know and you let him go.

[13:08]But if some people say no we did tell him then he

[13:12]deserves the consequence and so the imam resolved the problem.

[13:18]Salman you know the imam then left then left.

[13:21]Salman then asked the im he said you actually helped them.

[13:29]This is something fresh.

[13:32]This was the first question that came to according to the first

[13:36]question that came to the Khalifa the firstif.

[13:39]So the issue is very fresh.

[13:43]So he tells you help them and why would you help them

[13:46]after what they've just done?

[13:46]They've just taken the the IM answered him.

[13:53]He said so that they would not have an excuse on the

[13:58]day of judgment.

[13:58]And then the imam recited this ayah.

[14:08]He says, "Who is more worthy of being followed?

[14:12]The one who guides you to the truth or the one who

[14:18]does not know how to guide rather he needs guidance.

[14:21]How do you judge?

[14:24]That's what the ayah says.

[14:24]So the imam recited this ayah telling Salman now they would not

[14:31]have an excuse here.

[14:31]They were just presented with a situation a problem.

[14:36]They did not know how to help.

[14:38]They needed guidance themselves.

[14:38]I came and I provided them with the guidance.

[14:41]I did not have to have any guidance.

[14:44]I gave them the guidance.

[14:44]So this proves to them that who is now supposed to be

[14:51]the who deserves to be the so the imam continued this tradition

[14:56]while not approving of the but he did not completely disconnect himself

[15:04]from them so that they continue coming to him for the sake

[15:07]of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[15:09]The second many times you know may Allah not keep me for

[15:19]a problem for which I im Hass is not Im sorry Abd

[15:21]Hassan Im Ali Alisam is not there to help me with it.

[15:26]IM al Hassan is seeing this.

[15:27]Now the second Khalifa became into some very difficult situations that the

[15:33]imam came it is narrated by historians when they wanted to conquer

[15:40]the Persians when the Persians were about to be conquered.

[15:42]Now the Persian is an empire.

[15:44]This was not something easy.

[15:46]This was like a big big deal.

[15:47]So some of the Muslims, he sent some Muslims to go there

[15:54]and to kind of see what is the situation, what are the

[15:58]the circumstances, what is happening.

[16:00]One of them was Yaser.

[16:00]He goes now these guys used to go with the permission of

[16:07]the imam.

[16:04]So Amar Salman whenever they used to go those the companions they

[16:11]would seek permission from the Imam.

[16:12]The imam gives them permission so they would go.

[16:14]So Omar then writes a letter to the second Khalifa Omar.

[16:20]He writes him a letter saying that these Persians have prepared some

[16:27]big army and their intention is to come all the way to

[16:31]Medina and to arrest you and kill you.

[16:33]I mean they're they're kalas, you know, they're determined here.

[16:38]So it is said by the historians when he received the letter

[16:44]the Khalifa he started shivering to the points that they could hear

[16:48]his teeth cracking you know you know he he was so scared

[16:53]he got so scared that the Persians are coming after me.

[16:56]So he immediately called some people.

[16:59]He said you know we we need to have a meeting right

[17:04]now urgent meeting.

[17:03]So they bring some people a others and then he calls Im

[17:08]Ali Alis and so they have like an emergency meeting.

[17:12]He says like we're being attacked what shall we do?

[17:16]So some of the Muslims you know they started giving their opinions.

[17:21]So know some of them said for example you send people from

[17:26]Biladisham send people from Yemen etc etc send an army from here

[17:30]and there and then he said okay I will also go I

[17:34]will go with them so that I can give them the moral

[17:35]support moral support now this is the same person who in the

[17:42]battle of what did he do in who's a Sunni historian Read

[17:51]what he says about what Omar did.

[17:54]You know the first man also ran away but the second man

[17:58]when he went when Omar when he ran away the first man

[18:07]ran away when but he when he ran away he came back.

[18:11]He said you sent me with a bunch of cowards.

[18:15]They said Allah we were not the cowards.

[18:16]He himself, you know, the guy, he was the first to run

[18:23]away, we were not the cowards.

[18:24]Nonetheless, so this man who's got this attitude now, he says, I'm

[18:31]going to go and give them moral support to the army.

[18:34]Could have said to him, yeah, yeah, go, go.

[18:37]And this is the great advice.

[18:42]Let's just go.

[18:40]And when he could have gone, I im Ali Alisam could have

[18:46]basically very easily have taken and taken the power of Medina in

[18:49]his hands because most of the Muslim army would have gone.

[18:53]The men would have gone in an army and this is like

[18:54]in Persia.

[18:55]So this is a bit far away from the city of Medina

[18:58]and Imam Ali could have done something.

[19:01]However, this is not the we have when someone asks you for

[19:11]advice, you have to give an honest advice.

[19:13]Give an honest advice.

[19:13]On this note, brothers and sisters, this is just although I'm going

[19:17]to be transgressing a little bit.

[19:18]This also applies in marriage.

[19:22]And if someone comes to you asking you for advice on a

[19:27]potential spouse, either the boy or the girl, give an honest opinion.

[19:32]If you know something about the boy that is specific that may

[19:39]not go well, let's say with this person, like for example, he's

[19:42]stingy.

[19:43]I know this boy.

[19:45]I know him really well.

[19:46]He's good.

[19:48]He's prays.

[19:49]He fast, but he's very stingy.

[19:51]for example, then say it.

[19:51]Don't hide it.

[19:53]Or you know something else about this child.

[19:57]Maybe he has some kind of mental health issue that might play

[19:59]a role or this girl may have some issues.

[20:02]Say it.

[20:03]Don't hide it.

[20:03]Cuz some people sometimes they say we don't want to, you know,

[20:08]break the marriage or ruin the marriage.

[20:11]This is not room for this.

[20:12]Just imagine imagine if this was your own son.

[20:15]If this was your own son or if this was your own

[20:17]daughter and you wanted to marry her to this person, what would

[20:21]you like to know about this person?

[20:23]So similarly, this person who's asking you wants to know this information

[20:27]as long as it relates to the marriage, then you speak about

[20:30]it.

[20:31]Something that belongs to the the manners or the dean of this

[20:38]individual, then mention it.

[20:38]But if it's something that's irrelevant, it's got nothing to do, you

[20:41]know, for example, his greatgrandfather, for example, was not a Muslim, you

[20:45]know, later they so who cares about his great-grandfather was not a

[20:48]Muslim, you know, he may have become a Mumin and his his

[20:53]grandfather may have become a Mumin and mashallah they're all now and

[20:55]so on so forth.

[20:57]So who cares about his great-grandfather for example in that context?

[21:01]Something that may not be relevant, you don't need to mention it,

[21:03]but something that is relevant about his manners or her manners, something

[21:07]about his religion, her religion, something about for example their well-being, health

[21:14]that may impact the marriage, then mention it.

[21:16]Don't hide it.

[21:18]Okay?

[21:19]So that's important.

[21:20]Someone who asks you for your advice, you are basically have to

[21:27]give you have to give an honest opinion.

[21:30]So going back here now gives an honest opinion.

[21:34]This is mentioned in the books of history.

[21:35]The im tells to tells Omar the second khalifa.

[21:40]He says you know first of all the imam sits quietly.

[21:45]Omar after listening to those advice from people he turns to he

[21:51]says to him what's your opinion?

[21:54]He says well the people have given you their opinion.

[21:57]He says, "I don't need their opinion.

[21:59]I want your opinion.

[22:02]You tell me.

[22:01]What shall I do?" Subhan Allah.

[22:03]He knows who is.

[22:06]He knows who Ali and he knows that Im Ali will give

[22:11]him an honest advice.

[22:14]And if he had doubt about the opinion of Im Ali, he

[22:16]would not have insisted on his opinion.

[22:18]This tells you that he genuinely believed Im Ali will give him

[22:22]a genuine advice, a sincere advice.

[22:26]Now of course I im Hassan is observing all this he sees

[22:31]how his father is interacting with these people who took the away

[22:36]from him but for the sake of Allah for the sake of

[22:38]Islam for the sake of religion the imms he tells the second

[22:44]khalifa he says to him listen if really you want my advice

[22:47]I think what they're saying is not good why not he says

[22:54]we have the Romans who are also our enemies.

[22:57]We have the Persians on this side, the Romans on that side,

[23:02]and we have the Abbisoninians down there.

[23:04]Okay?

[23:05]If you're going to take men away from Yemen, that region, then

[23:09]what have you just exposed?

[23:10]You've exposed that region to the Abbassinians for them to attack us.

[23:16]If you take people from Sham, that Lavine region, and you go

[23:22]to Iraq, then what have you just exposed?

[23:24]that ro that region for the Romans.

[23:27]The Romans will start attacking us.

[23:29]So he says, I don't advise you taking men from the last

[23:33]thing we want is to have two war fronts.

[23:35]You know, right now we have the Persians for example from this

[23:38]side.

[23:38]The last thing we want is to have another warfront from the

[23:42]bottom or another one from the top.

[23:44]We need to keep it all in one area.

[23:46]So he says then what do you suggest?

[23:48]What what's your suggestion?

[23:51]He says, "My suggestion is you take people from that region, from

[23:55]that area.

[23:56]First of all, they know the region.

[23:58]They know the geography of the area.

[24:01]So they'll be your best support.

[24:03]Second, it will not expose us.

[24:05]You still have the men in the Levine region.

[24:09]In case the Romans want to attack, we have people there.

[24:13]We have men in Yemen.

[24:14]In case the Ebanians want to attack us, we still have people

[24:18]there.

[24:18]So we are well protected here.

[24:20]and you should not go.

[24:24]Don't go.

[24:25]He said why not?

[24:26]He says because if the Persians see you, they will know that

[24:31]you are the leader.

[24:31]So they will put all their efforts at killing you and hence

[24:38]that will actually give them motivation, drive, you know, it will encourage

[24:43]them to fight with all their power to kill you because you're

[24:46]the leader.

[24:47]And once the leader is killed, what happens to the morale of

[24:50]the army?

[24:52]It's immediately broken down.

[24:52]It's destroyed.

[24:54]So he says, "You should not go." This way at least they

[24:56]know that the leader is still back home.

[24:59]Even if they win against this army, it's not that the leadership

[25:05]has broken.

[25:04]The the Muslims have not been broken.

[25:07]They'll stay strong.

[25:09]And now that you have men from that region fighting them, they

[25:14]know the area.

[25:14]They know the region.

[25:16]and you give them some support then inshallah things will go well

[25:20]and he drew the plan of the attack he drew the strategy

[25:26]and indeed subhan allah he listened to him and the Muslims won

[25:29]even though they fought against the Persians who were much stronger in

[25:33]power but they were defeated and Allah brought victory to Islam through

[25:40]the bar of now Im Hassan is watching all This this is

[25:47]very important lesson because he knows there will be a time when

[25:49]also the kilafa will be taken away from him.

[25:52]So how does he need to deal with the situation?

[25:55]How does he need to interact?

[25:57]Not to completely distance himself, cut himself away from the leadership but

[26:02]of course not to approve of the leadership.

[26:05]He doesn't approve of it but not completely disconnect himself from it

[26:09]for the sake of Allah subhana wa ta'ala.

[26:13]when he became the Khalifa when he became the Khalifa he writes

[26:21]in one of his letters he says to the people of Egypt

[26:25]if it wasn't for the protection of Islam and the sake of

[26:32]Allah and protecting Islam I would not have supported those people before

[26:36]me I supported them not because I approve of their but it

[26:41]is for the sake of Islam So that Islam is not broken,

[26:45]Islam is not destroyed.

[26:45]So he makes it makes it very clear now why did I

[26:49]support and this is also important because there are people today people

[26:54]who criticize oh they're critical they say well if you claim that

[27:00]Im Ali is the after then why did he support Abu Bakr

[27:07]and Omar and he would give them advice sometimes and so on

[27:09]so forth.

[27:10]This is the answer.

[27:11]He supported them not because he approved of their he supported them

[27:15]because of the sake of Allah subhana wa ta'ala to protect the

[27:19]religion of Islam.

[27:21]So Islam is not destroyed.

[27:22]That's the reason he supported them.

[27:25]Otherwise he disproved of their and he continuously discussed this with them

[27:31]repeatedly in more than one occasion.

[27:33]And this third when he became the khalifa clearly explains his position

[27:40]from those three people who came before him very clearly.

[27:42]So the same thing when came to powerman comes again I imam

[27:50]many times goes and admonishes him that what you're doing is wrong.

[27:54]If you continue this way, bringing your family closer, you bring them

[27:59]and you start giving them money and money and making them governor

[28:01]here and governor there, you're going to turn people against you and

[28:06]they will kill you.

[28:06]So don't do it.

[28:07]But he did not listen to the imam until he got killed.

[28:13]So that period now finished which took approximately 25 years.

[28:20]Alass as I told you brothers and sisters he was observing what

[28:24]does his father do, how he interacts, how he deals with the

[28:26]situation.

[28:28]Then the people they all come to they come and they tell

[28:38]him we want you to become the Khalifa.

[28:39]So the imam Ali becomes the Khalifa.

[28:42]He becomes the Khalifa and immediately there's turmoil.

[28:49]Three wars were fought.

[28:51]The first war is the battle of Jamal.

[28:55]Tala and Zuber.

[28:57]Zuber is the Imam Ali's compan is cousin from his mother's side.

[29:01]Safy.

[29:04]Safy is the aunt of Im Ali and Sah.

[29:07]She's from Bihash and she was a good lady.

[29:13]Her son is Zuber.

[29:17]Zuber was a good man.

[29:18]From Ali says, he says Zuber was of us.

[29:32]Subhan Allah.

[29:31]How close he was.

[29:34]He was of us until his wicked son Abdullah grew up the

[29:41]father the son deviated the father which is a very important lesson

[29:47]for us brothers and sisters it's important for us to love our

[29:50]children but not to the point where they don't follow the h

[29:53]and this is important I see this happens a lot especially when

[29:57]there is marriage problems you know when there are marriage problems between

[30:01]the husband and the wife you find the parents usually they take

[30:05]the side of the child it's important brothers and sisters this is

[30:09]where comes where the this is where it comes it's important for

[30:16]the to sit down and listen to the sides really look at

[30:19]the situation and take the side of the truth not the side

[30:24]of my child if my child is wrong I will tell him

[30:30]you're wrong this is not right not just because she's my daughter

[30:32]or he's my son.

[30:35]This is very important.

[30:37]Usually people take the side of their children usually.

[30:41]Nonetheless, here is an example.

[30:46]Love your children but not to the point where they take you

[30:48]away from the truth.

[30:51]The Zuber was of until his son unfortunately deviated him.

[30:57]was there and they conspired with the wife of the prophet sallallahu

[31:03]alaihi.

[31:04]Although and Zub were the first to give their allegiance to Im

[31:10]Ali as the Khalifa, they were the first to betray and turn

[31:13]against him with the wife of the prophet Aisha.

[31:17]They raised an army and they went to Basra to fight a

[31:22]war against Im Ali Alisam because the governor of Basra invited them.

[31:26]He said, "Come here.

[31:27]I will raise an army to support you guys.

[31:30]So they came to Bas.

[31:32]Nonetheless, at that point, Im Ali Ali started using Im Hass.

[31:38]Im Hassan was in his early 30s.

[31:40]Now, okay, we're talking the 35 year after Hijra.

[31:44]Remember what year was he born?

[31:47]Approximately year three after HR.

[31:49]So now the year 35 after Hijra, 35, 36 after Hijra.

[31:54]So the imam is approximately 34 33 34 years old.

[31:57]So he's now mashallah in his youth and strength and this is

[32:03]the time when the imam is preparing his son now for the

[32:08]now it's time of preparation.

[32:08]First of all he saw how his father dealt with his predecessors

[32:12]when the was not in his hand.

[32:14]So he learned what strategies he needs to implement when the kafa

[32:20]is not in his hand.

[32:20]how he needs to deal with the situation and that we'll talk

[32:25]about tomorrow inshallah that last 10 years of his life.

[32:28]Then he saw when the is in the hand of how you

[32:34]deal with situations.

[32:37]So he saw that the imam ruled with justice.

[32:40]The imm started using Im Hass for example we'll mention three uses

[32:49]of Al Hassan by in important matters one when the month of

[32:58]Ramadan came im told im Hass go to the masjid of go

[33:06]to the masjid and tell the people they should not be praying

[33:10]in Jama started now to undo undo some of the deviation that

[33:18]was done by his predecessors.

[33:21]Thea says and this is narrated by Muslims in the books of

[33:29]history that Omar one day comes to the masjid at the time

[33:32]of month of Ramadan in the evening he finds Muslims are praying

[33:36]individually because salat not it should not be prayed in jama should

[33:45]not be prayed in jama now some people say what about salat

[33:51]is now but some say some of the say was actually at

[33:56]the time of the and that's why it's permitted to be prayed

[33:59]in even though today it is in the absence of the in

[34:06]the of the but when the comes the becomes again okay so

[34:15]so that's why same thing with in the presence of the but

[34:19]it is in the of And that's why it is permitted to

[34:24]be prayed in Jama.

[34:24]So sometimes there are these things but generally speaking generally speaking should

[34:30]not be prayed in Jama for example you cannot come and say

[34:37]let's pray in you can't it's a great deed good to pray

[34:39]but not in jama individually nonetheless so the people cames to the

[34:48]masjid he sees the Muslims are praying individually which is at the

[34:51]time of this is how they used to pray indiv individually because

[34:55]it's a mustat he looked at this and said you know why

[34:58]are they praying all individually like you have one person doing sjud

[35:03]one person is in one person is doing this I don't like

[35:05]this he says all of you guys get together so they get

[35:10]together and he says okay jama now and he appoints somebody he

[35:13]says you lead the jama so they start leading the jab he

[35:17]comes the next day he finds everything is organized in his opinion

[35:21]this is all good he says What a great innovation.

[35:27]This is good.

[35:28]Now, Muslims agree and you hear many Sunni speakers today today they

[35:36]mention they start their with you know every innovation is isal is

[35:46]a misguidance.

[35:45]Every misguidance takes a person to the hellfire.

[35:49]They mention this and this hadith is known.

[35:52]Okay.

[35:52]Well, you have here the khalifa of the Muslims saying this is

[35:55]a but he says this is a good.

[35:59]So then they classify they say there is good and there is

[36:02]a bad you know since when do we have a good since

[36:06]when do we have this?

[36:08]So nonetheless you see how people started to get make excuses because

[36:12]there's you can't argue against it.

[36:15]Did he make an innovation?

[36:15]Yes he did at the time of the prophet that never happened.

[36:18]But how can you justify it?

[36:22]Well, this is a good it doesn't make sense.

[36:26]That's that's not that's that's not there.

[36:29]When we have when we have something, it has a root a

[36:34]root in the religion.

[36:37]It has a root in the religion.

[36:37]For example, what do I mean by this?

[36:41]Is it important?

[36:40]Is it good to have malis for IM Hussein?

[36:44]Absolutely.

[36:44]It's good for to have malah cried for Im Hussein.

[36:49]Okay.

[36:49]So the person says okay then can we have a majus where

[36:53]we have not just one person we have like you know hundred

[36:55]people a thousand people all commemorate Imam Hussein and remember and cry

[37:01]for Imam Hussein.

[37:00]Is that a good yes of course it's a good thing person

[37:05]says well at the time of the prophet he cried for Imam

[37:07]Hussein.

[37:07]say yes he cried for it so it's okay for us to

[37:13]establish a whole majus and we remember Hussein you know it has

[37:16]a root in the religion there is roots for it once it

[37:20]has roots in the religion we can justify it then we can

[37:22]build upon it this is not something big a whole new thing

[37:28]that never has any uh for example roots in the religion or

[37:31]it goes against the teachings of the religion we cannot go against

[37:34]the teachings of the religion and raimah in his book.

[37:42]This book has been translated to English and they kept the same

[37:49]title NAS and you'll find it online.

[37:51]May Allah bless his soul.

[37:52]He's written whole bunch of these events where the prophet or the

[37:56]Quran clearly says things should be done this way and people come

[38:02]and say no change him this way.

[38:05]Sayani has written a book called the wudoo of the prophet sallallahu

[38:13]alaihi wasallam.

[38:12]If you read that book read that book the wudoo was changed

[38:17]at the time of man changed the wudoo.

[38:21]Other than that Abu Bakr Omar all of them used to do

[38:25]wudoo the way we do.

[38:27]You know you wash your face and then you wash from the

[38:29]elbow to the hand like this.

[38:31]You wipe your head you wipe your feet.

[38:33]But when the third Khalifa came, he changed it.

[38:37]He changed it.

[38:39]Okay.

[38:40]So now which woo?

[38:40]How do you do the woo?

[38:41]You follow the sunnah of or the sunnah of so and so.

[38:45]Interestingly said Alishahani he writes in his introduction in the book.

[38:51]He says I after I wrote this book I sent this book

[38:57]to several scholars some Sunni scholars too.

[38:59]He says, "One of the Sunni scholars wrote back to me." Wrote

[39:03]back to me.

[39:05]He told me, "What have you done?" He says, "Ever since I've

[39:11]read, ever since I've read your book, whenever I do woo, I

[39:14]start shivering.

[39:16]I start not sleeping the night like am I doing the woo

[39:20]of Allah or the wudoo of so and so." That's he says,

[39:24]"What have you done?

[39:27]you really made my life miserable with this book.

[39:28]Why life miserable?

[39:31]This is our response to this.

[39:33]If you if if the argument is convincing and the the the

[39:37]you know the things are clear that this is not the of

[39:43]then why are you in so like distress do of but subhan

[39:50]Allah you see brothers and sisters sometimes there is a limit there

[39:52]is a limit this person now realize what what is the truth

[39:58]but subhan allah anyways so these deviations these has changed.

[40:05]So many of them were done.

[40:07]So many the first the first deviation that what they did was

[40:11]to stop the people from narrating the hadith of Aisha narrates Aisha

[40:18]says one night I saw my father my father did not sleep

[40:22]the whole night.

[40:24]He was sleepless.

[40:26]He was just walking around in distress.

[40:28]So I asked him father what is the matter?

[40:29]You're not sleeping.

[40:30]This is when he was the khalifa.

[40:32]when he was the Khalifa he said I don't know there's something

[40:36]bothering me in the morning I saw him picking up 500 hadith

[40:44]that he had written with his own hands hadith ofah he took

[40:48]them and he threw them into the fire he burnt 500 hadith

[40:53]that he had himself written down so they stopped they stopped people

[41:00]from narrating think aith and then the famous saying of the secondh

[41:04]what is it the book of Allah is enough for us we

[41:10]don't need a hadith because once you have the hadith the start

[41:18]showing up these they didn't want that so they pushed it aside

[41:25]to the point where I imam when he became the khalifa now

[41:31]they've done a lot of work.

[41:32]They had done a lot of work to dilute down the status

[41:39]of to dilute them down.

[41:41]Okay?

[41:40]Because by that time as I just told you the Islamic state

[41:45]grew badam became under the umbrella of Islam during the time of

[41:50]the second khalifa you know so the all these people are new

[41:54]to Islam and if they don't listen to a hadith about the

[41:58]of then how would they know who are so you see now

[42:04]a big portion of Muslims do not realize and recognize who are

[42:08]because they hid the they didn't allow them to mention the ai.

[42:14]So I im was dealing with these dynamics.

[42:16]So one of the uses for al hass told him go to

[42:26]the masjid and tell the Muslims in the month of Ramadan they

[42:30]should not be praying the in prayed individually each one individually.

[42:37]This is the sunnah of Im Hassan goes now.

[42:43]Imm Ali didn't go himself.

[42:44]He sent Im Hassan again to prepare him now for the for

[42:50]to prepare him how to deal with situations.

[42:55]So he goes I Hass he tells the people Muslims this is

[42:59]not the sunnah of you should not be praying salat.

[43:03]The prophet did not pray like this.

[43:06]There was an uproar in the masjid.

[43:08]People started crying, shouting and they started saying, "Oh, for the sunnah

[43:18]of Omar, did they know this?

[43:20]Who established this?

[43:20]They knew who established it.

[43:25]Omar, it was so clear.

[43:28]Yet what happened?

[43:31]They refused to change.

[43:30]So imam came back to he said yeah ab I told them

[43:35]this is they shouldn't be doing this but this is what happened

[43:40]he said you leave them we told them we've done our due

[43:42]diligence now if this were other than Imam what would have he

[43:47]done would have taken the sword and by force he would have

[43:50]made them you know do what he wanted but this is not

[43:53]the strategy of Im Ali teaches you know you remind you are

[44:06]a reminder but you don't have control over them and the other

[44:10]ayah there is no compulsion in the religion he guides he teaches

[44:14]them he told them this is not the sunnah of and they

[44:17]knew that they knew it was the sunnah of so and so

[44:21]yet they chose to follow it you chose to follow it that's

[44:23]you so he utilized IM Hassan am in such context to bring

[44:32]the sunnah of second when the battle of Jal took place.

[44:36]So those people prepared the army they took the army to Basra

[44:42]as I told you the governor of Basra was a governor of

[44:44]man and so he told them come here and I will prepare

[44:49]an army to support you against Ali.

[44:52]So they went to Basra.

[44:56]What does Im Ali Alisam do?

[44:56]He sends Im Hassan and bin Yaser to Kufa.

[45:01]He says go to Kufa and get us their support.

[45:06]So Im Hassan and Omar go to Kufa.

[45:10]Now maybe he sent Omar with Im Hassan.

[45:15]Now although the people of Kufa were familiar with who is why?

[45:22]Because the first governor after they conquered Persia, when they conquered Persia,

[45:28]Omar Abd turned to Salman Fari.

[45:32]He said, "Sal Salman, these are your people.

[45:35]You're Iranian.

[45:36]They're Iranians.

[45:36]So why don't you become their governor?

[45:38]You know, you guys understand each other." Salman looked at him.

[45:44]He said, "I have to ask the permission of my imam, my

[45:46]master.

[45:48]You don't give me orders here.

[45:52]I don't listen to your orders.

[45:53]So interestingly Omar told him okay go ask him and then come

[45:56]back to me.

[45:57]This is in the story.

[46:01]So Salman goes asks Omar asked me to become the governor of

[46:08]what we call today Iraqi you know Iraq and Iran and that

[46:14]whole region.

[46:15]What do you say?

[46:16]What do you say?

[46:19]Told him it's better to have you as the governor.

[46:21]At least you understand the of Allah subhana wa tala.

[46:25]You know what is halal and what's what's right and wrong.

[46:28]It's better to have you than to have someone who has no

[46:32]understand clue what is religion.

[46:33]So I give you permission to go.

[46:36]So Salman then comes back to Omar and he says okay my

[46:40]im gave me permission.

[46:42]I I will accept the position as the governor of Madan.

[46:44]So he goes to Madan.

[46:48]Interestingly, brothers and sisters, just as a side note, Omar Abdab knew

[46:53]knew that Salman was a Shia.

[46:57]If you could not find the hardcore Shia of the day, it

[47:00]was Salman.

[47:01]Yet he still appointed him as a governor.

[47:04]This is an important lesson for today.

[47:08]I hope people today they learn this and instead of depriving she

[47:14]from positions because they have I mean you claim to follow the

[47:17]sunnah of the second man he he appointed shia he appointed a

[47:23]sh so that's something to be learned from at least for those

[47:26]guys who don't give position to people who are because they are

[47:31]subhan allah nonetheless so salman goes there to mad Now what does

[47:38]he do when he's in who does he speak about the so

[47:45]the people in that region were familiar with and the of through

[47:54]the of okay interestingly this is just as a side note in

[48:00]the lev in the third Khalifa sends Abu Dh in an exile

[48:07]inad So who plants the seed of?

[48:10]So you see even though a handful of people after remained loyal

[48:19]to Im Ali, Im Ali told those guys stay don't revolt against

[48:24]the first Khalifa because they will kill you and they don't want

[48:29]you to be killed.

[48:29]because he knew these guys even though they're a handful, Salman, Mdad,

[48:37]Hifa etc etc those handful Abu Dar they're handful but these handful

[48:42]of people will play a very important role so he wanted to

[48:45]maintain them look after them and this is a very important lesson

[48:52]we'll find tomorrow with Im Hassan when he made the peace treaty

[48:55]when he made the peace treaty with Muawi he also wanted to

[48:58]save and protect protect the handful of the loyal Shia those who

[49:04]were very sincere to him he wanted to protect them so these

[49:06]were one of the so I im Hassan also saw this saw

[49:10]how his father protected the Shia and those Shia despite their few

[49:13]numbers they played a big role so this is something important you

[49:19]know it's something interesting now I don't want to digress from my

[49:24]discussion but Abu Dar he goes to badisham he goes to badisham

[49:28]And he starts talking about he finds a student his name was.

[49:38]So Abu Dak started teaching us and us became a later became

[49:46]a teacher of a man called al- Makus.

[49:50]So makus became a makus became the teacher of the son of

[49:56]Yazidawi II.

[50:00]So, Muawi became a follower of and hence when Yazid got killed

[50:10]or died or whatever happened to him came and they told him

[50:14]you're the Khalifa now he ascended the pulpit he said people my

[50:19]grandfather fought against Ali my father killed Al Hussein and what they

[50:27]did is wrong and I do not want to follow their traditions

[50:30]So I will not accept this.

[50:34]I give it to and he comes down from the pulpit.

[50:41]Marwan was there.

[50:44]He says what have you done?

[50:48]We've been you know fighting for this with tooth and nail and

[50:53]now you're giving it all away.

[50:54]So they conspired to poison him.

[50:56]So they poisoned him and they got rid of him and Marwan

[51:00]then took the you know so Marwan then came to the power.

[51:02]Okay that's what happened.

[51:05]So you see Abu Dar even though he was a lone man

[51:07]but subhan Allah his influence his influence came into the palace of

[51:10]Yazidawa subhan Allah in the heart of you see how important they

[51:18]played what a role they played.

[51:19]So the people of Kufa were familiar with they were not completely

[51:30]restrained because of Salman.

[51:28]So imam sends and im they go maybe he sent because he's

[51:36]the companion of so there is more weight plus he's older Im

[51:40]Hassan in his early 30s.

[51:43]People look at him and they think he's a young man.

[51:44]Plus some people may not be familiar with the status of like

[51:49]I told you guys the deprived the hadith of so they did

[51:52]not allow people to mention.

[51:55]So to support him he sent with him but Im Hassan goes

[51:58]there he gives the as an imam he is also an imam

[52:02]although but he's not the imam of the time but he's an

[52:03]im so he gives the and mashallah he encourages the people of

[52:09]kufa they all come to support him and they go and join

[52:12]in battle of al so they win the battle so I immawi

[52:23]Muawi then played a trick.

[52:28]He managed to stop the war by raising the Quran on the

[52:34]spears as he was losing the battle.

[52:35]They raised the Quran on the spears and they said let's judge

[52:38]by the book of Allah.

[52:40]Let's judge by the book of Allah.

[52:42]They knew that they were losing.

[52:43]So they used a trick.

[52:43]This trick unfortunately fooled many people in the army of Alisam.

[52:49]So the army split.

[52:50]Imam Ali was forced to stop the war and then this people

[52:56]forced the Imam to appoint appoint Abu Mus Ali and Muawi's army

[53:00]appointed that those two become negotiators to negotiate at the terms was

[53:07]against this from the beginning he said first of all there should

[53:11]not be negotiations with Muawi second of all you want to send

[53:14]a negotiator don't send Abu Mus ai this guy has no clue

[53:18]what he's talking about send Abdullahbnd Abbas, he's a good person to

[53:23]negotiate with.

[53:23]He knows how to deal with him.

[53:28]But they refused.

[53:26]So they forced the imm fools Abu Mus.

[53:33]He says, "Come here, Abu Mus." He says, "You know, this Ali

[53:37]and Muawi, these guys, you know, they've killed so many Muslims and

[53:40]I think both of them are useless.

[53:41]We should get rid of both of them and let's you and

[53:46]I appoint Abdullahbar as the Khalif." So let's go in front of

[53:50]the Muslims and we tell them listen Ali is wrong is wrong

[53:53]Abdah should be the Khalif do you agree he said yes done

[53:59]so they come Muslims are gathered says Mus you're the companion of

[54:05]you're older than me you deserve to go first please go he

[54:10]said oh thank you thank you very much really appreciate it so

[54:13]he comes Abu Mus Ali representing Im Ali although IM Ali did

[54:17]not approve of his representation.

[54:19]But he says people we should forget about Ali and even though

[54:27]I am representing Ali, I disapprove of Ali and I remove Ali

[54:33]from the like I remove my and he took off his im

[54:39]and I appoint as the he comes down goes up after him.

[54:41]What does say people?

[54:45]You just heard the representative of Ali taking Ali away from this

[54:50]position.

[54:51]I approve Muawi in this position like I put my im on.

[54:58]And so he fooled Abu Mus ai.

[54:59]And he said therefore Muawi should be the Khalifa of the Muslims.

[55:03]So there was a huge problem.

[55:08]So then immediately Abu Mus called a name to said you so

[55:13]and so and he also called him So this is how they

[55:38]started arguing and the army then split.

[55:40]Im Ali then sends im because now there is a huge disagreement.

[55:43]There's chaos among the Muslims.

[55:45]So Im Hassan comes he says people listen.

[55:49]Im Ali is the cousin of Allah and he is the one

[55:56]who was there on for Islam from day one.

[55:58]He is your imam and your leader.

[56:01]He did not approve of Abu Mus Ali.

[56:05]He told you he should not represent because this man does not

[56:11]understand religion.

[56:09]He appointed Abdullahb Omar.

[56:14]If Abdullahbn Omar was worthy of being appointed, his father should have

[56:18]appointed him.

[56:20]His father did not see him worthy of being a Khalifa.

[56:26]Omar Abdab when he chose six people to choose one of them

[56:29]as the Khalifa.

[56:30]He chose a shur his son was not one of them and

[56:34]he did not see his son fit for leadership.

[56:35]So Im Hassan used logic he says if Abdullah was really fit

[56:40]why didn't his father appoint him?

[56:41]So people like oh okay interesting very good argument very good argument.

[56:46]So he tells them people plus when Imam Ali you brought him

[56:54]these two people arbitrator negotiators he told them you judge by according

[56:59]to the Quran not your desires and they did not follow the

[57:02]ruling of the Quran therefore both of their judgments is invalid and

[57:06]so people become oh you're right absolutely right and hence he managed

[57:12]to diffuse the situation a little bit and the people came to

[57:16]support Imm Ali Ali against the theites who split from the army

[57:20]of the Im.

[57:22]So you see how I im Ali Alisam used Im Hassan in

[57:28]very important matters serious matters.

[57:29]One to restore the Sunnah of Sall.

[57:32]Two in the battle of Jal you know to recruit people from

[57:37]Kufa to join Im Ali Alisam.

[57:38]Three, after the chaos of Sufi, he came and he diffused the

[57:44]situation and he managed to win the support for and you see

[57:47]all these strategies and all these preparations that I imam was doing

[57:50]for his son.

[57:53]After the battle of he wrote a beautiful letter number 31 in

[57:57]which I recommend the to read to his son.

[58:01]Part of that is what we started with.

[58:04]part of it he tells him son I admonish you and advise

[58:09]you of tawa fear Allah this letter brothers and sisters is for

[58:13]us not for his son IM Hassan is an imam plus this

[58:17]letter suggests to us that you know Imam Ali was teaching these

[58:21]values to Im Hassan not just after no his whole life he

[58:26]was preparing him for this but it's a lesson for all of

[58:29]us brothers and sisters one thing important brothers and sisters when I

[58:32]im Ali wrote this letter to Imam al Hassan Hassan nowam was

[58:36]in his mid to late 30s now mid to late 30s 34

[58:42]35 36 give or take.

[58:47]So it tells us that we need to continue guiding our children

[58:50]even when they go older.

[58:53]But in order to do so you have to establish a connection

[58:58]as I mentioned yesterday.

[58:58]That connection must be there with them from they were little.

[59:04]So that even when they grow old you still advise them.

[59:06]Some people have a misconception that once my child marries kalas that's

[59:10]it I don't need to now he's a grownup man.

[59:13]No in fact when they get married especially in this day and

[59:19]age the age of social media make sure you sit down with

[59:21]your children and advise them what is marriage.

[59:25]Teach them what are the expectations of marriage.

[59:30]When the wife is sick, sometimes when the husband is sick, what

[59:34]should you expect?

[59:34]You come home and for example, the husband may have a misconception.

[59:37]He's a new groom, he has a misconception that whenever I come

[59:42]home, food has to be ready.

[59:43]So the food is not ready.

[59:46]He gets upset.

[59:45]No, you tell to sit down with him, tell him, "Hold on,

[59:50]calm down.

[59:49]Let's understand the situation.

[59:52]Why is the food not ready?" Things like this.

[59:53]If the wife is ill, help her, support her.

[59:56]If the husband for example cannot afford to buy this item and

[60:01]that item then don't put so much pressure on the husband you

[60:04]know take the take it easy.

[60:06]These are important advices.

[60:09]When a problem arises how do you deal with this problem?

[60:12]You teach your children my brothers and sisters.

[60:16]It's important to establish this relationship between the parents and their children

[60:22]and to continue guiding them even when they grow old.

[60:25]If you have that kind of a relationship, they'll listen to you

[60:29]because you've worked on it for years.

[60:31]IM worked on that relationship for years.

[60:36]And so he's until now after towards the end of the life

[60:42]of Alisam.

[60:43]He's still guiding his son and writing letters to him and he

[60:46]is informing him and instructing him.

[60:47]So this is something important.

[60:49]Brothers and sisters, we need to continue guiding our children and and

[60:54]to the children, nobody loves you in this dunya after Allah and

[61:02]the im more than your parents.

[61:07]They care about you.

[61:07]So seek their guidance, seek their advice.

[61:10]But the advice I have for the parents, you need to establish

[61:15]the connection.

[61:16]If you did not work on establishing the connection and your son

[61:20]or daughter does not come and ask you, then don't blame them

[61:23]because you did not work on that connection.

[61:25]If you always criticize the son or the daughter, always criticize her

[61:30]or him.

[61:32]Then you're distancing him away from you.

[61:35]Don't compare your children sometimes to each other.

[61:40]That's wrong.

[61:38]Don't tell your son look at your brother for example your brother

[61:44]has studied he became a doctor and you're what this is wrong

[61:48]what you're now creating animosity between the two brothers that's what you're

[61:55]creating don't do this compare the son to himself what do I

[61:58]mean by this for example you tell your son do you remember

[62:02]for example you do you remember when you were in grade six

[62:05]and mashallah your grades were all A's say yeah I remember this

[62:07]Okay.

[62:08]Well, now you're in grade eight.

[62:10]What is happening?

[62:11]You're Why are you getting C's?

[62:12]It means you're able to get A's because in grade six you

[62:17]got A's.

[62:16]Not I wouldn't tell, look at your brother, he's getting all A's.

[62:20]Why are you getting all C's?

[62:22]Do you see the difference?

[62:22]When you do that, you created animosity now.

[62:27]But when you compare him to himself, in grade six, you got

[62:32]A's.

[62:33]In grade eight, you can also get A's because you're capable.

[62:36]So he'd be like, "Yeah, that's true.

[62:38]So what do you need?

[62:40]What happened?

[62:39]Why are you not getting seized?

[62:41]Let's understand the problem." Once you understand the problem, you try to

[62:45]find solutions for it and you try to help your son or

[62:49]daughter.

[62:49]You see what I'm saying?

[62:51]Brothers and sisters, don't create animosity between the siblings as parents because

[62:56]then you'll distance them away from each other.

[62:59]They don't want to talk to each other.

[63:02]and don't create animosity between you and the children because they will

[63:07]distance themselves away from you as well.

[63:09]But at the same time children once there is that love between

[63:12]the parents you also need to create that love back.

[63:16]Listen to them.

[63:16]Don't hide things.

[63:17]I get sometimes as a principal sometimes I get students who do

[63:20]a problem.

[63:21]So they come to my office and they tell me she please

[63:27]don't tell my dad.

[63:26]Please I tell him to the contrary you should tell your dad.

[63:31]I tell him I will I will not tell your dad.

[63:32]You're going to tell your dad.

[63:35]You know I told them don't worry I'm not going to tell

[63:37]your dad but you are going to tell the dad.

[63:39]They said no no no I don't want to tell him.

[63:42]Said no you need to learn not to hide anything from your

[63:44]parents because your parents love you.

[63:47]Even when you do something wrong of course you deserve a consequence

[63:53]but even that consequence is because they love you.

[63:54]They care about you.

[63:56]They don't want you to repeat this mistake again.

[63:57]Don't learn to hide things from your parents.

[64:00]So that's what I try to teach.

[64:02]So children should not hide but at the same time parents should

[64:08]also build what the connection and the bridges and that's what important

[64:13]lesson we learned from Imass and Im Ali building those bridges from

[64:17]the day he was born until the shahada of Im Ali is

[64:23]with him involving him uses him sends him in very important matters

[64:27]political matters religious matters serious matters he's preparing him because he's got

[64:34]that connection with the son, the father and the son.

[64:40]And indeed you see that bond when the imm was hurt.

[64:47]Look at IM Hass once struck and he fell in.

[65:02]His face is covered in blood.

[65:06]And he said his famous saying, I have won by the Lord

[65:15]of the A cry was healed from the skies.

[65:17]for [Laughter] [Laughter] I am Foreign speech.

[65:51]Foreign foreign foreign speech.

[66:01][Music] Signal [Music] Zech.

[66:30][Applause] will im rushed to the masjid and Im Hussein when he

[66:59]saw his father's face is covered in blood.

[67:02]He cried what a loss orders im he says you will lead

[67:18]among the Muslims and he prayed from sitting down.

[67:25]Im Hassan led the Jama then he took his father along with

[67:30]Im Hussein back to the house.

[67:34]They supported him as they approached the house.

[67:40]Told them let me leave me alone now.

[67:46]I will enter the house myself walking.

[67:50]He said why?

[67:52]Why?

[67:53]Why do you want to walk?

[67:54]We can help you.

[67:56]He says no I do not want Zam to see me and

[68:02]you two are carrying me.

[68:03]you two are supporting me.

[68:08]I'm worried about her feelings.

[68:10]So he enters the house and he goes into his room.

[68:16]Zam comes in.

[68:15]She sees the face of her father covered in blood.

[68:22]She cries.

[68:24][Music] Oh my father als hussein [Music] are now surrounding their father.

[68:45]The children of Am they come, they surround their father, they bring

[68:51]a doctor.

[68:53]He takes a vein from a sheep and he inserts it into

[68:56]the wound of as he raises the vein.

[69:01]He looks at it, he says, [Music] [Music] Make your will for

[69:22]the poison and the sword of this enemy of Allah has gone

[69:25]too deep into your wound.

[69:29]You will not be safe from this.

[69:31]Im Hassan is there.

[69:32]He is witnessing this tragedy, this calamity.

[69:36]He cries.

[69:40]Comforts his sons, comforts his daughters.

[69:43]He says to them, "Do not cry.

[69:49]I am going to Jenna." Then comes to see [Music] [Music] Oh

[70:16]father, I have a question to ask you.

[70:19]What is it my daughter?

[70:23]I want to ask you about the hadith of about is it

[70:32]true what I will go through?

[70:36]He cried Salam and he said, "Yes, my daughter Zan, what she

[70:40]spoke of is true and you will return to Kufa again, but

[70:48]this time you will return without your brothers.

[70:53]You will not have your father.

[70:59]You will return as a captive for Benoya." She cried.

[71:06][Music] [Applause] When I said then when the time came gathered his

[71:38]children around him, I iman was there and stretched his arms and

[71:46]legs and he says Here I see in front of me, your

[71:49]grandfather and he says to me, "Come Ali, come to me." And

[72:01]here are the angels.

[72:04]They've decorated Jenna for my arrival.

[72:07]He said, [Music] Your im has been killed.

[72:25]Has died.

[72:27]Im Hass Hussein took care of the and the then they walk

[72:37]in the middle of the night as per the of carrying the

[72:44]nash of the imam from behind while the angels carrying from the

[72:48]front until they arrived at a place where the nash was set.

[72:55]They dug that grave that was written this is the grave prepared

[72:58]by no the prophet for Ali the successor of the final prophet.

[73:06]So they buried him there in as they were coming back.

[73:15]Immass hears a cry coming from a distance.

[73:19]So he approaches the cry.

[73:20]He finds an old man sitting down, a blind man crying, weeping.

[73:25]They said, "Old man, why are you crying?" Alm Hassan Hussein asked,

[73:32]he said, "There was a man who used to come to me

[73:40]every night and give me some food, look after me, take care

[73:44]of me." But for the past three nights, he has not showed

[73:53]up.

[73:50]I am tired.

[73:53]I am hungry and I miss him.

[73:54]I don't know where he is.

[74:01]I al asked, "Old man, do you know who this man is?"

[74:05]He said, "No, I'm blind.

[74:09]I cannot see, but I can smell a fragrance, a beautiful fragrance

[74:13]coming from him." Whenever he used to come with utmost compassion, utmost

[74:18]mercy, he used to give me the food.

[74:25]Imass cried and said that was our father.

[74:33][Music] We just returned back from burying him.

[74:41]He's left this dun.

[74:44]The old man started crying even harder.

[74:47]He said, "Take me to his grave." They took the old man

[74:53]to the grave of he threw himself on the and he cried

[75:03]until he died right there on the so hass took care of

[75:15]his ke and burial Abu Ham.

[75:17]Raise [Music] [Music] [Music] your hands in the dua, brothers and sisters.
