[0:28]ald me [Music] Hassan Sal [Music] for the hastening of the reappearance

[2:28]of the master the Savior the Avenger recite aloud my dear brothers

[2:41]and sisters when it comes to the virtues of the commander of

[2:51]the faithful there's an important caveat to keep in mind and that

[3:04]is that his merits his characteristics his virtues are often exclusive in

[3:10]nature bear with me for a moment because this will give you

[3:17]an important key to not only detecting and understanding the unparalleled qualities

[3:26]of but also truly appreciating them his virtues are exclusive which means

[3:37]that they have a tendency to negate those qualities and features from

[3:46]being possessed by other people in other words wasn't just a Pioneer

[3:56]when it came to character in and fulfilling the unique features that

[4:06]he had he wasn't just a step ahead of everybody else rather

[4:11]he possessed the majority of his qualities to the negation of other

[4:18]people meaning that no one else possessed those qualities and it was

[4:29]clearly demonstrated through his actions that the features that he possessed were

[4:33]non-existent in others allow me to demonstrate I'll ask you a question

[4:42]that I want you to think about it won't take too much

[4:44]processing but if I asked you who the most courageous person was

[4:53]you're thinking of someone but before you answer the question allow me

[4:58]to set the stage we have to acknowledge that bravery and courage

[5:08]are merits and virtues in and of themselves meaning that regardless of

[5:17]religious affiliation regardless of who possesses courage it is a trait that

[5:26]we all admire and respect much like generosity compassion honesty right it

[5:37]doesn't matter who possesses these qualities whether this person is a Muslim

[5:41]or a non-muslim simply exhibiting qualities like courage honesty compassion kindness is

[5:51]something that is universally admired true now that being said Mecca boasted

[6:01]some of the bravest people in the Arabian Peninsula and possibly the

[6:08]world some of these names you might be familiar with others not

[6:14]so much but you have people like he was a paragon of

[6:23]Bravery he was admired by everyone within the Arab tribes of the

[6:30]Arabian Peninsula sh these people were known for their unparalleled courage another

[6:40]example a name that you are familiar with is was so brave

[6:49]that picture the scene he'd be sitting with some of his friends

[6:55]in the morning eating breakfast then he would get up and walk

[6:58]away they'd say to him where are you headed off to he

[7:02]would say oh I'm just going on a conquest to a war

[7:08]an expedition against a particular tribe he would go singlehandedly defeat that

[7:15]tribe in battle then come back in the afternoon carrying their possessions

[7:21]as his personal booty just one man fighting an entire tribe of

[7:28]warriors this was they used to call him because in one battle

[7:41]he faced an enemy that was a thousand man strong by himself

[7:45]it's very difficult to picture this it's the stuff of Legends right

[7:53]heroes in modern movies can't be depicted in such a manner but

[7:58]he would face a thousand men defeat all of them take their

[8:02]possessions and go back home to Feast now this was Mecca as

[8:10]for Medina there were people like Al as well as his brother

[8:21]who was known as the one who defended the Fortified complex of

[8:28]K right these two brothers and marhab they were known once again

[8:36]for their bravery and so that is a virtue that people naturally

[8:43]respect and admire they were great warriors they were brave men who

[8:52]did not fear the Enemy No matter how large no matter how

[8:56]strong now all of these names that I mentioned they share two

[9:03]common traits number one their legendary courage and number two they were

[9:08]all slain at the hands [Applause] ofad the bravest of men could

[9:30]not stand in the face of Ali his courage was not just

[9:37]a portion above other people it's not that others were also Brave

[9:46]within the camp of Muslims Ali was unique Ali was different distinguished

[9:56]in all of his qualities as I said exclud clusive to him

[10:02]I'll give you a couple of examples with some nuances and details

[10:10]that often get skimmed over in lectures and sermons but I think

[10:14]they're critically important in understanding this point about the virtues of am

[10:20]the first is in the battle ofab otherwise known as the battle

[10:28]of why is it calledand because aand refers to a moat and

[10:36]when all of the Pagan tribes came together as a United Force

[10:44]to attack Muslims in Medina led by none other than Abu sufyan

[10:52]sham the father of muaah all the tribes gathered and they decided

[11:01]to collectively launch a decisive war against the fledgling Muslim Community Salman

[11:13]said to the holy prophet that I suggest we dig a moat

[11:24]around the city at the very least around our weak spots so

[11:29]that the enemy cannot Advance into the holy city when they initiate

[11:34]their Ambush so they dug a moat they filled it with fire

[11:41]as a means to fortify the city the Muslims were so afraid

[11:52]that the Quran describes this moment in history in Vivid detail when

[11:59]you read the verses inah as Allah subhanahu wa taala describes the

[12:06]emotional state of the Muslims you will get a glimpse of just

[12:11]how much fear had taken over them obviously they had the likes

[12:23]of Al and that should have given comfort and Solace to the

[12:27]Believers but not the disbelievers not the hypocrites Amir once again his

[12:35]bravery everyone was familiar with it in fact they mention a person

[12:41]by the name of he was one of the enemy forces he

[12:45]came forward and he was faced with whether there was an actual

[12:53]battle between them an actual duel we don't know but approached him

[12:58]so he quickly fled the scene he ran off now this man

[13:02]was also respected and recognized and was supposedly a brave man so

[13:10]they asked him they said why did you run away from him

[13:14]listen to what he said he said when I saw his face

[13:22]it's as if I saw death showing and revealing its face to

[13:29]me I knew that facing means certain death no question about it

[13:34]so I ran off now some of these details you need to

[13:39]pay close attention to now the Muslims are now surrounded all these

[13:46]Arab tribes the pagans have completely sealed off the city of Medina

[13:53]they're about to Ambush but they're prevented by the moat the moat

[13:58]was in fact very wide and so they couldn't and there was

[14:04]fire inside they couldn't just jump over it some of them attempted

[14:06]to jump over the moat only to fall to their death inside

[14:14]the moat who was brave enough to attempt this it was being

[14:20]the brave risk taker that he was being far yel that he

[14:27]was being a man who would face a thousand arm Warriors that

[14:31]he was he also had an incredibly strong and fast horse so

[14:38]he jumped over the the moat and made it safely on the

[14:46]other side when he jumped over you can imagine the fear that

[14:49]many of the Muslims had was now Amplified made it it's not

[14:58]just any random person but with so he came forward and he

[15:04]began calling out and challenging people to come and face him what

[15:11]Amar did in my view was humiliate the Muslim Army why because

[15:19]he came and said would anyone come and face me I challenge

[15:26]you to come and fight me he kept saying it over and

[15:29]over again to the point where he said these this poetry this

[15:34]poem he said he said my voice has gone horse I've been

[15:44]screaming out off the top of my lung would anyone come and

[15:49]face me he said I'm standing before you I'm willing to fight

[16:02]you don't you have anyone with a modum of courage to come

[16:05]and face me to make matters even worse this is where I

[16:12]believe was the Apex of humiliation he said don't you claim that

[16:33]if you are killed in battle you will go to heaven and

[16:38]that if you kill one of us this person meaning himself will

[16:41]go to hell so is there no one who wants to go

[16:46]to heaven is there none of you who can fight me and

[16:49]either get killed and end up in Paradise or kill me and

[16:55]send me to Hell come and fight me now everyone was sitting

[17:04]According to some reports imagine if someone is in the park or

[17:12]on the beach and a bird sits on their head they try

[17:17]not to move because the slightest movement will cause the bird to

[17:23]fly off so historians describe the Muslims as people who were so

[17:30]still as if they had a bird sitting on their head in

[17:36]case their movement would be misc conscrew as a gesture of responding

[17:43]to the call of in case somebody moved and the prophet said

[17:47]are you volunteering to go and fight they stood still their heads

[17:50]bowed down not a breath Alim alak ahed other Sunni jurists and

[18:05]historians and narrators have stated that every time issued the challenge would

[18:14]get up and say I'll go and fight him would tell Al

[18:24]to sit back down this is really important listen carefully he would

[18:29]tell him to sit back down then the prophet would encourage the

[18:35]Believers to go and fight he would say is there no one

[18:38]to go fight him I will guarantee Paradise for you is there

[18:44]anything more you'd want to be guaranteed entry into Paradise in other

[18:50]words you fear death fine let's say the worst case scenario takes

[18:54]place you die I guarantee your entry into into heaven no one

[19:00]responded on one occasion and this Hadith is in the holy prophet

[19:10][Music] said who would go and fight for whoever does so I

[19:20]will appoint him as my successor after me Allah no one moved

[19:25]not a breath not a shiver would get up again I can

[19:35]go and face him the prophet said no sit down the third

[19:40][Applause] time got up the third time said to him this is

[19:50]we're talking about he's the stuff of Legends everyone knows how strong

[19:55]and skilled and powerful and courageous and brave he is the IM

[20:01]responded by saying Ali I know he's but I'm Ali now this

[20:10]is important why because had volunteered to go fight the first time

[20:16]around had permitted him to go and face later on when they

[20:25]presented the story they could simply say came he challenged the Muslims

[20:30]volunteered he fought him he killed him end of discussion which says

[20:35]nothing about the lack of Courage by the other companions but when

[20:43]they're given the chance not once not twice but Thrice to go

[20:46]and fight and they refuse to do so what does that tell

[20:51]you about them what does that say about the courage of Ali

[20:54]that it was exclusive by the way a question that might come

[21:06]up is the companions composed of people who were Believers people who

[21:10]were Brave as well as believers who were not brave as well

[21:14]as downright Hypocrites what about the Believers why didn't they stand up

[21:22]why didn't they volunteer to go fight surely the companions included the

[21:27]likes ofar mikdad Salman Abu and others what about them why was

[21:31]it just Ali who went to face the answer is that the

[21:39]Hypocrites are over and done with right these people were afraid of

[21:48]getting killed because their entire scheme was to wait out the time

[21:51]of rasool Allah as we explained in one of the lectures so

[21:53]that he would die and they could then take over Islam and

[22:00]rest restore society's values back to the Pagan era that was their

[22:04]entire plot and so the last thing they wanted was to die

[22:08]they were disbelievers they didn't believe in God in heaven or hell

[22:13]so that was a portion of the companions they were Hypocrites then

[22:19]you have the Believers who were not courageous or Brave and the

[22:24]answer to that is quite obvious they did lack the courage they

[22:28]couldn't get up and face yes Heaven is guaranteed yes has promised

[22:33]so much but I just can't do it it's not in me

[22:36]as for the ones who were courageous True Believers among the companions

[22:43]the problem they had was that this was if you are facing

[22:51]let's say the Argentinian soccer team would you even bother showing up

[22:59]to the match you you wouldn't because you don't want to go

[23:02]and end up coming back and the results are 17 nil and

[23:07]embarrass your family and your tribe and your community even the likes

[23:12]of mikdad andar and so forth they knew they didn't have it

[23:16]in them to defeat so in all likelihood they expected to be

[23:22]killed and they might have felt that that would bring shame and

[23:26]humiliation to the Muslims if would dishearten the Muslims it would demoralize

[23:31]the Muslims if the Muslims were already so terrified of facing the

[23:36]pagans imagine if the first person to go and fight their iconic

[23:44]Warrior was killed and so it wouldn't do any good for the

[23:48]Muslim Community so we're not doubting their faith or their belief or

[23:51]even their courage it's just that they knew they didn't have it

[23:58]in them to fight the only one who did did was once

[24:01]again the context of this story which is mentioned in Sunni books

[24:09]and reports even prior to sh books the context tells you that

[24:14]Ali's courage was exclusive he was Brave to the exclusion of others

[24:20]not that he had 10% more bravery than everybody else keep that

[24:27]in mind so here's what happened listen to [Applause] this he speaks

[24:36]about the incident in some detail in a report he said that

[24:42]on that day when the holy prophet encouraged Muslims to go and

[24:47]fight and kept screaming asking for someone to go and challenge him

[24:51]the IM says no one would present themselves you know how children

[25:04]they like to show themselves in front of their parents when they

[25:09]have a play at school kids often want to have their parents

[25:14]in the audience because they want their parents to see them they

[25:18]want their parents to appreciate the skills that they have the things

[25:22]that they've learned right and so everybody surely had a desire to

[25:29]demonstrate their skill kills before but not when the enemy was the

[25:34]IM says no one had the desire to demonstrate anything they had

[25:41]because they knew it was a losing battle so the Imam came

[25:45]to the holy prophet and I'll read his actual words he says

[25:52]the prophet took his own turban which was referred to as what

[25:57]a beautiful name the cloud took off his own turban now let's

[26:04]just stop right there imagine imagine for argument sake that forget the

[26:10]events prior to this forget the events after forget forget imagine if

[26:16]had taken his turban off and placed it at top the head

[26:21]of any other companion especially one of their Idols would we even

[26:25]hear the end of it put his turban on the head of

[26:29]XYZ we'd never hear the end of it butool Allah took off

[26:36]his turban he then wrapped it around my head am says in

[26:40]fact he gives some vivid details he wrapped it around my head

[26:48]nine times that was the length of the prophet's turban the Imam

[26:55]showed his sword he said the prophet gave me his own sword

[27:01]and I came out to face he said when I went out

[27:16]everyone was observing the scene the women of Medina began crying out

[27:22]of sympathy with am this young man he has his own life

[27:25]ahead of him he's going to face which means they all feared

[27:33]that he'd be killed he's facing certain death listen to this he

[27:46]began walking towards I read out the poem of early on when

[27:49]he said why is there anyone no one to fight me now

[27:53]responded to him once again in verse he said I mean this

[28:04]is we're talking about not only is the poem so exhilaratingly beautiful

[28:08]the Imam uses the same Rhythm as the poem of so say

[28:19]the IM responds by saying he's saying to him don't be Hasty

[28:34]wait I'm responding to your call in other words you thought you

[28:41]were going to defeat us just give me a moment I'm reaching

[28:43]you not right now I'm not weak I'm not incapacitated just wait

[28:52]a moment the prophet waited in order to demonstrate The Bravery of

[28:59]Ali and his Superior ity it's not that we're weak or we

[29:03]lack courage I have pure intentions I have incredible foresight truth will

[29:16]save those who [Applause] Triumph just wait a moment I'm about to

[29:25]make people cry in your funeral I will strike you with my

[29:38]sword that will Echo throughout the generations allahar proceeded forward the Hadith

[29:48]says the Imam would constantly glorify Allah subhah wa tala allahar allahar

[29:58]I'd imagine that with every Allah was saying the heart of would

[30:04]tremble who was a Sunni historian he narrates the story like this

[30:11]he says that came to the first thing he did to him

[30:19]was the Imam said imagine the Imam is uh walking he doesn't

[30:22]have a ride he doesn't have a horse is sitting on top

[30:27]of that incredibly legendary horse which jumped over the moat the Imam

[30:32]looked at him he said to him would said to him I

[30:39]never thought I would see the day when someone doesn't recognize me

[30:44]obviously knew who it was had told him he had seen him

[30:48]but the IM is trying to break his spirit it's like I

[30:53]don't I don't even know who you are broke a little then

[30:58]he said then he said to the IM who are you the

[31:03]IM said immediately began to think of all the stories he'd heard

[31:16]about ali all those scenes began rolling through his head so in

[31:23]one report ofak he said to him oh you're the child that

[31:27]I used to see in in your father's lap your father was

[31:31]a friend of mine are you that kid again trying to belittle

[31:34]the Imam the Imam said to him yes I am he said

[31:39]well your father was a friend of mine I would hate to

[31:45]kill you the Imam said to him as for me I don't

[31:52]care I wish to kill you I don't have any qualms or

[31:54]reservations about killing you in another report he said this to him

[32:02]said to the IM he said my son my nephew again he's

[32:09]trying to appease to the Imam he said to him maybe there's

[32:11]somebody else who can come and fight me you have uncles who

[32:18]are older than you more established Fighters and warriors let one of

[32:22]them come and fight me for I would hate to spill your

[32:31]blood the Imam said to him as for me by God I

[32:37]have no issues with spilling your blood became Furious when the Imam

[32:45]said this he got off he jumped off the back of his

[32:50]horse he un sheathed his sword historians describe that moment the sword

[32:57]looked looking like a flame of fire many of the reports mention

[33:08]that when he faced is now willing to fight the IM the

[33:14]Imam said to him I have heard that you have made a

[33:21]vow near the Kaa once for one reason or another maybe to

[33:26]display his shiv he made a vow next to the Kaa that

[33:35]if anyone offers me three choices I will accept at least one

[33:38]of them so the Imam said to him I've heard you do

[33:43]this he said sure the Imam said then I give you three

[33:45]options to choose from the first is that you become a Muslim

[33:53]at every moment in his life the Imam is trying to guide

[34:01]people he knows he can send to the bottom of hell he

[34:04]knows he can kill the people in in saf in Jam in

[34:09]Nan but the imam's role is to guide people not to kill

[34:16]them you've all heard the story when in sa the Imam saw

[34:19]that Malik Asar was exhausted from fighting he said to him Malik

[34:25]how many people have you killed today he said 500 people the

[34:30]Imam said I also killed 500 people and so it seemed a

[34:37]bit odd that both Al and his student would each kill 500

[34:41]people and so the Imam said no oh Malik when you kill

[34:47]someone you kill any random fighter that comes your way as for

[34:50]me I look into their lineage down to Seven Generations if there

[34:58]is anyone who's worthy of being kept alive is if there is

[35:02]anyone who's going to possess faith and be a good man I

[35:07]spare that individual in other words I'm very selective about who I

[35:10]fight the Imam is trying to guide he's trying to lead he's

[35:13]not in the business of just killing people in spite of his

[35:19]unparalleled courage so the Imam said to him the first choice is

[35:22]that you become a Muslim he said absolutely not the huous the

[35:26]arrogance was too much for him to Simply surrender and become a

[35:31]Muslim the prophet said to him then the second choice is that

[35:34]you simply go back he said absolutely not everyone will say I

[35:37]was a coward I didn't fight you he said then the third

[35:42]choice that I'd like to present to you is you are riding

[35:47]on the back of a horse while I am a foot soldier

[35:49]and that's not a fair fight so he got off the back

[35:54]of his horse and using that sword which looked like a flame

[35:57]he cut off the arms and legs of his horse in other

[36:02]words there is this is the point of no return I'm not

[36:07]going back there I've Just Killed My Horse let's face each other

[36:13]now the commentator on he makes a lot of interesting points one

[36:21]of them is this he says when said to that I don't

[36:27]wish to fight you I don't want to spill your blood he

[36:35]wasn't sympathetic towards Ali or he wanted to preserve his life he

[36:46]was terrified of Ali he knows wh alali had killed in bad

[36:51]and and so the fight began when the battle erupted first struck

[37:03]his sword on Ali's head hitting the crown causing blood to gush

[37:10]out of the imam's head in fact they say that the strike

[37:19]of the accursed ABD rman M came on the wound of the

[37:27]strike of in the battle of and so it was more tender

[37:34]it was more vulnerable so struck ALB the blood gushed then the

[37:42]battle ensued there was a dust of cloud imagine Muslims are terrified

[37:47]Beyond description women are crying the enemy is rejoicing in the midst

[37:56]of all of this the dust of Cloud Rises no one can

[38:02]see what's happening in the ring the Quran describes the scene like

[38:06]this if verse number 10 Allah says that on the day when

[38:26]they attacked you from above and From Below you and the eyes

[38:31]began to roll that's how scared they were and the hearts reach

[38:40]the throat you know when you're absolutely terrified you know when you're

[38:46]so scared you can't even breathe anymore that was the state of

[38:50]the Muslims on that day the defeat of alali would have been

[38:57]a deci of defeat for Islam and of the religion of God

[39:03]which is why made the statement he said if you don't wish

[39:12]to be worshiped in you don't if you don't wish for this

[39:17]religion to continue to be preserved then this is the day this

[39:24]will end Islam alt together then the dust settled and everyone observed

[39:35]the scene was on the ground Al standing over him with his

[39:39]sword dripping with the blood of the Imam didn't even touch him

[39:53]nor his armor nor his possessions and that's an important point because

[39:57]later on when the IM returned of all the things that you

[40:03]could say to of instead of trying to justify why didn't you

[40:10]go and fight he said to the Imam why didn't you take

[40:16]his shield this is a unique Shield it's worth this and this

[40:19]Arabs speak of the legendary Shield of the Imam said I didn't

[40:24]want to take any of his possessions what are you talking about

[40:27]instead the Imam came back when he returned listen to this he

[40:32]recited another poem he said I am Ali the one who possesses

[40:42]this sword I am the one who holds the pond on the

[40:48]day of judgment I am the brother of I have a sign

[41:01]from the messenger he told me when he wrapped his turban around

[41:04]my head he told me that you are my brother the one

[41:14]who has unparalleled virtues and after me you will be my Imam

[41:21]ja ABD anari he says that when this event unfolded and Ali

[41:29]beat I was reminded of a verse in the Holy Quran he

[41:41]said he said I was reminded of the battle between David and

[41:48]Goliath this is Ali who defeated the entire Camp of the idolators

[41:53]not just which is why when the IM killed the camp of

[42:00]the idolators simply packed up and turned back to where they came

[42:04]from their computers all were fried up their brains couldn't think of

[42:15]another strategy their entire strategy was based on defeating the Muslims humiliating

[42:19]them breaking their spirit that obviously didn't work so let's hear what

[42:29]the other side has to say about all of this one of

[42:37]the most Sinister most evil and most common methods that they've employed

[42:44]in trying to downplay and trivialize the virtues of the is what

[42:50]I'd like to refer to as redaction right which I'll get to

[42:56]in a moment another methodology that they've employed another evil Ploy that

[43:04]they've used is that they say that they take the story out

[43:10]of its context as I said earlier they try to take away

[43:14]the exclusive nature of the imam's virtues so they tell the story

[43:19]and they say that on the day ofi killed before Muslims were

[43:30]all sitting down like a bird was nesting on their heads the

[43:33]prophet kept telling them why don't you go and fight's voice going

[43:38]horse all of these things they will redact them decontextualize the story

[43:45]omit some of the important elements in it so then at the

[43:53]end it comes down to Ali killed that's it it there's not

[43:56]much of a virtue in that am I right so that's one

[44:01]argument or one method they've employed the other and I've read this

[44:04]in some of their books it's unbelievable they say was an old

[44:09]man at the time of the battle ofab he was in his

[44:16]70s was a young man he was muscular he was wellb built

[44:24]he was fit right and so there's not much courage needed to

[44:29]fight a senior citizen someone who's in his 70s or 80s or

[44:34]' 90s even well here's my question to you if that's the

[44:37]case if wasn't much of a Challenger why would the Quran describe

[44:41]the scene as saying your hearts reached your throats why is it

[44:46]that no one got up and said well that's an elderly man

[44:50]I'll just poke him with my Spear and he'll fall over to

[44:52]his death why why was everyone So Silent why were they so

[44:56]quiet what happened to all these brave people if he truly was

[45:06]such a trivial Challenger IB uses another methodology he says the Hadith

[45:14]is weak classic classic way to reject any Hadith that you're uncomfortable

[45:20]with and we know that I T was incredibly uncomfortable when it

[45:24]came to the virtues of the so the Hadith doesn't have a

[45:31]strong chain of narrators they've employed this technique for centuries unfortunately we

[45:37]now have people who call themselves sh who employ the same technique

[45:43]you tell them a Hadith and it's like but what's the chain

[45:45]of the Hadith what do you even know about Chains man other

[45:49]than the chain you hang around your neck looking like a girl

[45:52]what do you know about chains what do you know about narrators

[45:55]what do you know about authenticating reports honestly what do you know

[46:01]about these things are you a scholar do you even know any

[46:03]of the individuals who reported the Hadith pack up and leave go

[46:08]home and so this is another tragedy that we face in this

[46:15]day and age says the Hadith chain is weak however the Hadith

[46:20]is reported by Alim andri in his must with an authentic chain

[46:24]that they acknowledge as an authentic chain he says ahed didn't narrate

[46:28]it with an authentic train who cares find it another book that's

[46:33]number one number two he says the other problem with the Hadith

[46:37]is how could say at the conclusion of the duel between and

[46:46]make his famous proclamation in other versions of the Hadith he said

[47:01]how could the prophet say this that the strike of is better

[47:07]than the acts and deeds and worships of both the ins humans

[47:10]as well as the Gin every single sensient being no matter how

[47:17]much we worship Allah no matter how much we worship no matter

[47:19]how much charity we give no matter how many Good Deeds we

[47:21]amass the single strike of Ali was better than all of this

[47:28]combined how could the prophet say this when there were worse enemies

[47:32]than the likes of ab J that's his argument and the answer

[47:41]to that is obvious who are you to object to the statement

[47:44]of Abu Jah was worse than or better than amid or better

[47:50]than Abu Bakr or worse than Abu B all these are irrelevant

[47:55]recognizes as does the Quran the decisive nature of this battle and

[48:01]says that the strike of was better than the acts of worship

[48:06]of everyone in existence because had it not been for that strike

[48:13]Islam would not exist the entirety of religion and Revelation would cease

[48:19]to exist I Abid says something interesting he says he quotes his

[48:25]teacher whose name was AB HUD or AB he says one day

[48:29]they asked my teacher again a Sunni they said to him who's

[48:31]better abak or ALB he said stop stop a single strike of

[48:40]Al AB Talib in the battle ofab was better than the actions

[48:47]of every living creature including all of the Companions and the UNS

[48:52]and the m a single strike of Ali was better than all

[48:57]of them put together let alone Abu Bakr himself are you joking

[49:04]now we've run out of time unfortunately I wanted to mention more

[49:12]examples inshallah maybe we'll be able to do that tomorrow of how

[49:17]the actions the virtues the merits of were exclusive to him exclusive

[49:24]made sure that they were exclusive the Battle of is another classic

[49:34]example of that without going into detail in and Muslim Muslim in

[49:41]particular mentions this story he says a guy who met the prophet

[49:49]for two years two years most are narrated from and was with

[49:54]since he was 2 years old he has less Traditions by far

[50:01]reported by the Sunni School than abur who only saw for 2

[50:04]years in the eth year after Hijra Allah died on the 10th

[50:12]year he met the pro he became a Muslim in the eighth

[50:14]year but he has more Hadith along with than all the other

[50:21]companions anyway this is just one manifestation of the oppression that they

[50:27]for fored upon that his opinion his quotes his reports of are

[50:34]to be dismissed but not ABI Hur the guy who used to

[50:37]play with cats in the street Abu Hur mentions the Hadith in

[50:42]sah Muslim he says said that tomorrow I will give the flag

[50:49]the standard to a he loves God and His messenger and God

[50:57]and His messenger love this man so alali came the prophet gave

[51:03]him the standard he said go forward and Conquer The Fortress of

[51:08]end of the story so you hear this as a non-muslim as

[51:13]a non Shia you read this report and what do you think

[51:20]to yourself okay wow great story Al Talib went and fought and

[51:24]he won but had the chance been given to Abu Bak it

[51:29]would be a completely different story because we know for a fact

[51:34]that Abu Bakr and Omar were better than Talib right if they'

[51:37]been given the chance simply picked alali at random had he given

[51:43]it to Abu Bakr you would have seen what Abu Bakr would

[51:48]have done am I right well tells the story in full I'm

[51:55]sorry to say he says that initially gave the standard to Abu

[51:59]Bakr go and fight prove yourself you've had some stains in the

[52:03]past we saw what happened to you in I'll give you another

[52:08]chance he goes with his companions his troops he's the commander they

[52:13]go and quickly come back what a scandal imagine an army goes

[52:24]off to battle then they come back and the army every single

[52:27]soldier says that our commander was a coward who did you send

[52:33]us with what kind of a commander is this guy I'm not

[52:35]saying this I'm not saying this his book called by the way

[52:45]is a completion of Muslim andari in other words he knows the

[52:50]standard by which Muslim and bukari would authenticate hadiths he knows the

[52:54]formula he knows all the people that they consider to be reliable

[53:00]he simply went out and F found the contexts of many of

[53:03]thesei that b and Muslim had conveniently redacted and omitted he simply

[53:09]brought the rest of the Hadith that's his crime right which is

[53:14]why now aabi and others say that he wasn't too careful with

[53:17]the authenticity of AI oh we know why he wasn't too careful

[53:22]cuz he exposed you as fools he showed your hypocrisy even though

[53:26]he's one of you so says that when they got back every

[53:31]single soldier said to the Prophet this guy's a coward he didn't

[53:36]even give us a chance and of course in return he would

[53:39]reciprocate the insult and he would say no you are the cowards

[53:44]I'm brave if you were more you know courageous we would have

[53:48]been able to to conquer the Fortress fine that's one guy completely

[53:55]eliminated and humil humiliated said come you've got a bunch of dark

[54:03]stains in your history as well again and all that so I'll

[54:06]give you another chance take the standard go fight he went back

[54:09]before he even reached the Fortress they came running back [Music] to

[54:18]unbelievable what a scandalous situation his troops were saying he's a coward

[54:27]he's saying their his troops are cowards theno said tomorrow I shall

[54:36]give the standard to a man who loves God and His messenger

[54:39]and God and His messenger love him then listen to this he

[54:47]attacks and goes forward but doesn't Retreat and run from Battle which

[54:53]is a reference to those two redact these two parts and you

[55:02]end up with was sent to he conquered it came back clap

[55:05]clap but with this context it shows the exclusive nature of the

[55:15]virtues of ALB Abu Bakr said he said I've never desired to

[55:20]be given a position like the day I wanted to be this

[55:25]man that said God loves him he loves God he attacks he

[55:32]doesn't retreat but you were already given a chance for crying out

[55:36]loud how many times do you want to subject yourself to humiliation

[55:42]honestly anyone else would have just bowed their head in shame and

[55:47]gone back home so that night they all spent it awake historians

[55:51]once again go into detail they all stayed up waiting to know

[55:55]who this person is as if it's a surprise we we've come

[56:01]14 centuries later and having known a little bit about the virtues

[56:05]of and we know who it's going to be but the reason

[56:12]perhaps they were unsure as to who that person would be is

[56:15]because was sick at the time the IM had which is a

[56:20]sickness where his eyes become inflamed was so oppressed one day he

[56:24]said this he saw a man who was screaming in the middle

[56:30]of the marketplace the IM said to him come come come sit

[56:35]next to me I've been oppressed since the day I was born

[56:41]the Imam then gave him one example he says my brother a

[56:47]had a disease in his eyes was older than by about 20

[56:52]years no less so he didn't like medicines he didn't like to

[56:57]be treated with medications in his eye so he nagged and he's

[57:02]like I don't want this so they would put the medication in

[57:03]my perfectly healthy eye so that would agree to have the medication

[57:10]poured in his eye I've been oppressed since the day I was

[57:14]born Subhan Allah I'm oppressed the size and the number of every

[57:24]Pebble in the world that's the level of my oppression so the

[57:30]Imam had an eye infection when the prophet said bring me Ali

[57:35]everyone was shocked Ali is sick so they brought am the prophet

[57:42]blew into the eyes of Ali and they were immediately instantaneously healed

[57:47]the Imam then gave him the standard and the rest as they

[57:53]say is history he put everyone to shame and yet they treated

[57:58]him the way they did to the point that would say Salam

[58:05]to people and they wouldn't even reply to him I might have

[58:13]mentioned this before Amir came to the house she was Ill she

[58:16]was in her deathbed as soon as she saw the Imam she

[58:22]began crying why do you cryan she saidah Hassan I'm crying because

[58:34]of your strangeness your loneliness after mebar whose ribs are broken whose

[58:44]every breath brings excruciating pain who was oppressed herself she's crying for

[58:55]the oppression of and so on these nights when Amir was dying

[59:00]he had been dying since the day they ambushed the home of

[59:06]fa since that day am died his Earthly death came on these

[59:15]nights he was now ready to meet F once again he was

[59:22]yearning for this he was longing for the moment of his death

[59:26]death which is why he looked up at the last moment of

[59:34]his life he looked up in the direction of a corner of

[59:39]the room and he said peace be upon you oh messengers of

[59:45]my Lord he then said let those who do things do what

[59:55]they can for this this is what you get when you live

[60:01]a life of virtue a life of religiosity a life of Faith

[60:08]the Imam then started to say Salam toool who had come to

[60:14]greet him to his uncle Hamza to his brother jaar and I'm

[60:17]sure faat zah was also there expecting her husband Amir to go

[60:26]but before he departed Amir gathered his children and he began to

[60:35]give them words of advice to impart his will so he spoke

[60:37]to his son Imam Hassan then Imam Hussein then lady Zab then

[60:49]to Muhammad until the Imam reached his Soni one of the things

[60:55]the Imam said to him was this he said to him bu

[61:00]my sweetheart my son there will come a day when you are

[61:03]presented with water but your brother is thirsty allahar that day came

[61:11]when they called upon cried he said where are our nephews AB

[61:23]Abbas refused to respond to him IM Hussein said reply to him

[61:31]IM Hussein wants people to know who was so he said go

[61:37]and see what he has to say said yes my master he

[61:45]never addressed his brother as brother it was always he came into

[61:52]this world and his mother raised him and his brothers to be

[61:55]Servants of their brother to be martyred in his sake to be

[62:03]waterbearers for his children AB went to sh he said to him

[62:09]what do you want he said I have good news I bear

[62:16]Glad Tidings I have a pledge of immunity from the governor for

[62:19]you and your Three Brothers you don't have to get killed here

[62:23]you can take this immunity and go home how did respond to

[62:30]him he said may God curse you and your immunity you wish

[62:47]to give us immunity when the son of the prophet's daughter is

[62:53]unsafe and has no immunity which is why on the day of

[62:59]a after everyone had been killed AB came to his brother he

[63:08]said to him my chest feels constricted because of these Hypocrites and

[63:24]what they've done in other words I can't take it anymore would

[63:30]you give me permission to go and avenge our Martyrs from them

[63:41]let me go and fight them IM Hussein said to him my

[63:45]little brother you are my standard bear eror you are my Onan

[64:00]Army if you get killed I will be left without an army

[64:06]the women will have no protector [Music] anymore kept asking and pleading

[64:18]in the end he might have been saying to the Imam I

[64:22]can't bear to hear the voices of the little girl your daughter

[64:28]is saying [Music] so if you must go then go and fetch

[64:46]water for these children headed towards the battlefield he reached the water

[64:58]he might have remembered what told him on his deathbed he threw

[65:04]the water back into the stream he then came out of the

[65:13]river the enemy were murmuring and whispering to each other if he

[65:18]drinks that will be the end of all of us why didn't

[65:23]he drink why didn't he quench his thirst he then responded to

[65:31]their questions saying oh ABB you are nothing after Hussein how could

[65:50]you taste the water when he is thirsty he headed towards the

[66:05]tent he had the water container he also was fighting with the

[66:12]sword as he headed towards the battlefield an arrow reached his eye

[66:20]blinding it a man struck his right arm AR another struck his

[66:28]left arm Al Abbas was still intent on reaching the battle all

[66:36]he cared about was the water that is when an arrow pierced

[66:44]the container and Spilled the water to the ground this is when

[66:49]Abbas simply sto how does he return to the tent without water

[67:01]how does he fight without hands how does he proceed without his

[67:18][Music] eye that is when Abbas called out to his brother for

[67:29]the first time he said to him brother come to me IM

[67:40]Hussein rushed to his brother they began running away from him like

[67:47]a raging Eagle chasing its prey the IM said to them where

[67:59]do you flee when you have killed my brother when the IM

[68:05]reached him he called out way
