Tufayl ibn Amr (ra): The Hidden Legend | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman

foreign get started if everyone could please make sure their kids are with them in the mommy and me or Daddy and me room inshallah so if everyone could please make sure your children are with you and the mommy and me or the daddy and me remember all right you know subhanallah when I started this series a few years ago on the firsts the biographies that I was most excited about covering were the biographies of people that were completely unknown and subhanallah one of the things that happens as we go through the lives of the companions of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam is that when you study them as individuals you realize that some of them had enormous impact but were not celebrated as much as they should be and some of them became footnotes in the stories of someone else and the man that we are covering today is probably one of my favorite biographies in the entire series because he has literally become a footnote in the story of the most prolific narrator of Hadith in history but his story in and of itself is absolutely legendary and we're going to learn subhanallah so much from the twists and turns in his own life and the Miracles that happen in his own life as well as his dedication and I think before I get into a story it's just a reminder that it's one thing to have noted influence it's another thing to have Noble impact and this man likely gets the edger in our lives on a daily basis and most of us do not know anything about him except maybe the story of how he called to Islam and that man is nickname is similar to the nickname of uthman on the Allah what is one of Earth can someone tell me uthman's nicknamese the new rain the possessor of two lights why was he called the possessor of two lights primarily because he's the only man in history to have married two daughters of the prophet salallahu he married and she passed away and then he married um is known as the Nur the possessor of light and I'll talk about why in sha Allah but he is the possessor of light he was the chief of a tribe that is known as a dose now a dose is a tribe that is famous for all of the wrong reasons they're famous for partying they're famous for drinking they're famous for dancing they're famous for gambling they're famous for riba for interest and usury so they're famous for all of the wrong things and when you read about for example the tribe of the Allah embraced Islam it was like but what about like the noted Highway robbers they have a reputation and it's not a good reputation a Beatdown in Mecca because those that are beating him are reminded that he's from watch out who happens to be the chief of a tribe that is not known for stealing but it's an affluent tribe that is known for partying and a great level of carelessness and recklessness now dose is from a place called najran at that time it was known as part of Yemen so it's a yemeni tribe as well just like the ansar from Yemen but if you look at the map if you all could put up the map Insha'Allah this is where najwan is today in regards to what Saudi Arabia right so it's right today it belongs to what's actually part of Saudi Arabia which of course back then these were not the countries that existed but back then it was attributed to Yemen so when they used to refer to nazran they used to refer to it as a yemeni tribe and it's subhanallah a very interesting part of Saudi Arabia has anyone in here Vincent By the way before anyone okay can you show the picture of nazron is known to be a a place of great Greenery so if you've ever seen thought if for example and this was a trait of thought of a trait of Medina a trait of najlan as well that there's a lot of greenery so it's a place that is actually known for being rich in terms of its resources a beautiful place and it's a wealthy place in the time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam who happens to be the chief of that tribe now there's also something else about this tribe reported in an authentic Hadith that the messenger of Allah said the hour will not be established the hour will not be established until the women of dose dance around again was the idol of the people of dose now obviously back then you had sort of the chief Idols then you had personal Idols in people's houses was an idol that they used to hold festivals around they used to sacrifice towards and their practices were very lewd around that Idol and subhanallah some of you might be thinking it's happening we're seeing it happen and indeed subhanallah any time you see the rise of facade you see the rise of corruption in places where certain types of corruption have become unfamiliar to us it should make us Ponder upon the hour but by the way this actually if you read about the history of Makkah if you go back to the 1900s the early 1900s it's actually reported that the people in that area of nadran during a famine and a drought rebuilt and they started to offer sacrifices towards it and it was destroyed and al-serud attacked them and it's it's kind of written in some of the books of the history of Mecca which shows you that you know Humanity dips and then it comes back it dips and it comes back we just don't know when that dip is going to happen and people will not return from it until the day of judgment comes and it's upon us obviously when we see facade when we see corruption that's become unfamiliar to reflect and to say this is you know such a shame such a shame that you start to see Idols rise again you start to see corruption become familiar in the place where the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam brought Islam right so these are things that we're going to reflect upon obviously when we see it but it's it's specific to this tribe that the prophet saws mentioned a sign of the day of judgment in them and of course that could be in their descendants and their larger tribes so some of their descendants still reside in Arabia now the story of the Allah is that not only was he the chief of his tribe but he was a person of great presence a person of great power a person of great poetry so just to kind of get the image of the man he heads a tribe that the Arabs want no problems with the meccins have a serious vested interest in making sure that their Alliance is strong with dose because you saw where it is where it's located and that they don't become allies to the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam and to fail is exceedingly intelligent exceedingly eloquent holds a lot of sway with people and he used to come to Hajj of course back then they had the hedge of the days of ignorance around their Idols he used to come to Hajj every single year and even more he used to come to Mecca frequently and he would go to which was the primary Marketplace he used to trade there and he used to be one of the Poets of so he would come and people would surround him and they would listen to his poetry so he holds a huge amount of presence and you've got to think in the minds of abujah and their likes when people who don't live in Mecca come to Mecca they're going to hear about the news about the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam so they want to preempt any exposure to the prophet salallahu Islam with their propaganda especially the powerful people so they've got a game plan amongst themselves that when the time of Hajj comes it's very sensitive now you've got to go to all of the Chiefs that are coming from the neighboring tribes take them to the side tell them all these horrible things about the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam so that they will not be affected by the Quran now he in particular was very feared in regards to his Islam because if he becomes Muslim obviously he gives a certain himaya a certain type of protection to the prophet saws it severs in Alliance with quraish he also is an eloquent spokesperson for Islam should he Embrace Islam so he comes from Yemen he comes from and he actually mentions that you know as soon as I got there he was surprised to see that immediately and tells you the status of a person is going to be the one that's going to take him to the side Abdullah immediately has this whole reception ready for him he takes him to the side and he wants to fill his ears with the propaganda about the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and realize that quraisha is going to use the tactic that they know will work for that particular person was a man of his tribe he loved his tribe being together he loved the families of his tribe being together he cares about his people and so the propaganda is a tribe record he's going to divide the tribe he's going to divide your families he's going to pit people against each other and it's going to cause huge dissent so they went to him and Abu lahab starts and he says listen you are a poet you are a leader so they said listen we're worried about you meeting this man because if you meet this man his words are sorcery his words are like his words are sorcery so be very very careful it's a powerful form of now usually what do Sahara do what's a sign of sahad in a family they tear families apart right so they're they're trying to basically portray the prophet saws as having this voice or the spell that he casts on people that suddenly makes a husband hate his wife that suddenly makes a brother hate his brother a father hate a son and so on so forth so they say to him that we're afraid we're afraid he's going to do to you and your people what he did to us he's divided husband from wife he's divided brother from brother he's divided parents from their children so they kept on talking to him until faith says he said they kept on talking to me and they kept on getting to my head until I said to myself I'm not going to enter the Masjid and unless my ears are plugged I've got to have earplugs so think about like one of those headphone commercials or something like that like I got to plug my ear so I can't hear anything when I go to the message so I got to perform my Hajj but I hope I don't run into this myth and if I run into them I'm afraid his is going to hit me right so I've got to plug my ears because the sorcery might affect me so what did he do he said that I put kurusufan I put cotton in my ears I stuffed my ears as much as I could with cotton and I went to the Masjid and I started to do tall off and he said so I saw the prophet saws standing up in the Masjid reading and praying close to the karaba and I basically try to keep a distance from him but his curiosity got to him he realized the silliness of this all so you know he kind of wants to hear what he's saying but at the same time he wants to stay back so he wants to test the waters a bit so he gets just close enough he said refused except that I would hear some of what he had to say so I heard some of what the prophet saws recited and I said to myself like what a shame this is and he said I'm a person who's subbed I'm a person whose firm who's who's who's intelligent he said he said I can distinguish between good and bad and he said well I'm going to go and listen to him and if he's a person who makes sense if he's a person of guidance then I'll listen to him and if he's a person who's speaking nonsense I'll be able to distinguish and I'll be able to cast him aside so he said so I removed the the cotton from my ears and he said I started to listen closer to what the prophet saws was saying he said never heard anything more beautiful than what he was reciting so I'm not sure what he was saying but it was beautiful what he was reciting and the prophet saws is unassuming he's doing his thing now to fail also says Sorcerers had a particular look I'm from New Orleans when you see someone that does voodoo they look weird all right said had a particular look like the prophet saws didn't look like a sahib not and by the way some Sahara don't have that look but overall like it kind of spook you out especially in that time they've got they've got a certain type of Aura to them he's like the prophet saws had beautiful manners humble character he looks like he's calm at peace tranquil he's minding his own business he's reciting the Quran so he said you know I followed him to his house and I knocked on the door and Hadith answered so I asked permission to speak to the prophet saws and I said to him this is how he introduced himself to the prophet saws you're the guy that people say is a sorcerer so the prophet saws smiled and said yes that's me so he said what do you have what is it that you're actually teaching what are you reciting so the prophet saws recited to him think about that right right in one of the narrations so he read to him some of the Quran and obviously parts of the Quran that are seeking refuge in Allah from the things that the prophet saws supposedly was so he read to him some of the Quran who was completely blown away he said right away I became Muslim I said to him how do I accept your religion how do I become one of your followers so the prophet saws told him the shahada taught him how to say is and he put out his hand he said I extended my hand to the prophet saws I held the hand of the Prophet saws and I gave my shahada and I gave my pledge to the prophet salallahu until fail is an intelligent man he's also a powerful man and he also assumes that once he gets back and tells his peoples people are going to become Muslim too because of the presence that he has so he says to the prophet saws why don't you come back with me to DOS to najran to My Tribe of Dos we will take care of you we will protect you and we will be your allies against everyone that is around so subhanallah in a moment he went from kufur from disbelief to hidayah to guidance to himaya to wanting to protect the prophet saws which is absolutely miraculous in and of itself the prophet saws is nice about this he says do you have anyone behind you I mean are you sure this is going to work basically like you're you're inviting me to make a journey outside of Mecca and this is relatively early in the Dao before the prophet saw Islam is being attacked in public in in the vicious ways that he was especially in the last few years so this is still earlier on in the meccan period where it's really you know verbal propaganda against the prophet saws whereas they're attacking his weakest followers you have anyone who's Muslim back there do you do you really trust that you've got people back there I thought about it and I said some I said to myself you know I really don't know if I'm being honest with you I don't know if I have the protection for you if you come with me to najaran so he said that let me go back to them and let me call them to Islam so it may be that Allah will guide them and he said o messenger of Allah pray to Allah to give me a miracle to Give Me A Sign who o Allah give him a miracle by which you will support him he doesn't know what it is so he said so I left I didn't talk to Abu lahab I didn't talk to anyone else in Mecca so he didn't cause any commotion right so they're making the assumption that he's done his Hajj he's done his shopping he's done what he has to do and now he's going back to uh to Yemen so he says I went back to my people and I went alone until I got to the valley of my people so he mentions that you know I had my father an old man my wife and my children and they're they're there you know over that Valley and he said that right as I was about to get into my place put right between my eyes alight so what was his nickname the Nur the possessor of Lights that's his nickname so imagine he gets to the valley and suddenly there's a light that's shining from his head and this was the Ayah that the prophet saws made dirat for now he said to himself as powerful as that is and obviously you wake up and suddenly you have a light that's shining from your face he understood what was happening he said oh Allah Let It Be and other than my face why he said he said I'm afraid that my people will think that this is actually a punishment or something that was given to me because I left their religion so I'm afraid they might actually misinterpret if I have a light that's suddenly shining between my eyes that something bad has happened to me that I'm being made an example out of because I left their religion so he said he said it moved the light moved from my face and it moved to the top of my king so he had a stick and he had a light on it and this is one of the caramel mats one of the Miracles that can happen to a people obviously cattlemat usually the karamat of the Audi the Miracles of the righteous one usually follow in the tradition of the Miracles of the prophets so obviously we know had a similar miracle and you will find that righteous people sometimes Allah has blessed them to have a miracle as a proof in in a way that resembles some of those so he said that I had the light on top of it as it as if it was a hanging chandelier subhanallah like a beautiful chandelier that was on top of my stick and I went into the tribe of Dos holding on to it and as soon as I got there and I'm holding on to this light he said atani ABI my father came to me now tulfate wants to use a certain type of rhetoric that's going to work with his family so this is not if you become Muslim this is what you do you go home and you say this to them all right but his father came to him and he said no no you're not for me and I'm not from you now he's doing that to get a shock out of his father his father loves him respects him his father says well not that what happened to you why are you saying that he said I have become Muslim and I accepted the religion of Muhammad and he said my son your religion is my religion so whatever it is that you just embraced I embrace it too so he explained to him to hate and the Oneness of Allah what he learned from the prophet saws and his father became Muslim quickly and he says and then my mother as well she came and she found my father and she said what happened what is this light I explained to her what had happened and she became Muslim as well so both of my parents had become Muslim he said I went to my wife and the same thing happened I'm not from you and you're not for me she said why why are you saying that he said I became Muslim and I followed the religion of Muhammad she said what is that so I told her about Islam she said but will this which is an idol that they had will he harm us if we Embrace Islam see they're superstitions so if I leave the religion of my people are we going to be harmed and he said I swear by Allah it will not harm you and she repeated it again and I repeated it again and she repeated a third time and I repeated it a third time and I said go and bathe yourself and it will not harm you so she went and she bathed herself she did Muslim she came back and now his father his mother his wife and his children were still little at the time they're Muslim so he thinks now now let me go to my people and they're going to become Muslim too so far this is going exactly as you'd want it to go Allah Islam I called those to Islam and all of them rejected me except for a handful or except for one just a handful like it's a little bit few people that listen to my message and one of those was a young poor Shepherd orphan Shepherd named abchems who is that his name was actually the slave of the Suns so he embraced Islam with me everybody else rejected and the implication of the narrations that maybe one or two other people so he's got his family and he has an orphan Shepherd poor orphan Shepherd Allah and that's it so he kept trying with them and it didn't work and he's getting frustrated with his people and he keeps on trying different ways and he's and he starts mentioning his favors you know me you know my standing amongst you you know my nobility amongst you I'm telling you this man is a prophet of Allah I'm telling you this religion is the religion of Truth they did not want to embrace Islam not because they didn't think that to fade had a compelling argument why didn't they want to embrace Islam because they were afraid of the moral implications of embracing Islam but what about the partying what about all the stuff that we do so we're not going to give up all of these other things and obviously certain things are Haram at that point certain things are not but you can tell this is an ethical religion that's going to require you to change your ways as a tribe and so dose rejects to fame they don't reject them as their Chief but they reject the religion until Fein said I tried for some time and then he comes back to the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam and he's got this little orphan boy Shepherd the only thing he has to show for himself is his father his elderly father his elderly mother his wife and this Little Orphan child that he's coming to the prophet saws he says I met the prophet saws the first time he said where are you from I said dos the prophet saws I didn't know those had good people in it like people that had good in them meaning people that were embracing Islam that's what he meant by that like wow okay a child from dos to fail comes to the prophet saws says to the prophet saws I called them to Islam but dose was overcome by their adultery and their usury and interest basically their dirty practices they couldn't see the truth because of their practices this message is too ethical for them until faith says to the prophet saws go ahead and make Dua for Allah to destroy them now imagine this is a chief of a tribe who's saying I tried everything with them no chance no chance against them is mentioning the prophet saws hands go up so that's it dose is done dose is destroyed right as as soon as the prophet saws o Allah destroyed those they're going to be destroyed right tofan raises his hands he's ready as well for this Dua against his own people because of what they did and you can imagine how rough the rejection was and how how much he tried with them to make them Embrace Islam and the prophet saws said what to be him and bring them to me oh Allah guide those and bring them to me Allah guide those and bring them to me subhanallah the prophet saws was more merciful to a people even than their own Chief in this regard and he turns to tulfable and he says to him go back to your people call them to Allah and be gentle with them be lenient as you call them to Allah so the implication here is that the first time tulfate went he invoked his power over them he invoked his like his status over them like I'm your teeth why are you rejecting this religion you know better so the prophet saws is telling him to go back and call them with call them with leniency call them with gentleness is the one who narrates the Hadith that the prophet salallahu said in Allah Allah is gentle and Allah loves gentleness Allah gives through gentleness what he does not give through harshness Allah gives through gentleness what he does not give through harshness subhanallah what a what a lesson endawah today right shout someone down humiliate them what did you what did you achieve break them what did you achieve was that the message of the Prophet saws I was not sent as one who curses was sent as a mercy to the people and that's what the prophet saws is calling us to be as well now did the prophet saws ever make against people yes but it was when they were actively in place of oppressing of harming and so the goal of the Dua is to restrict them in their harm to hold back their harm to stop their learn to stop their oppression that's what many of their enemas say and they say that even if that's not the suburb if that's not the main reason still every single time you find the prophet saws I'm finally making against the people it's when they have reached a certain stage in their oppression a certain stage and their wrongdoing and their harmfulness that they are people who put out violation after violation after violation after violation Prophet saws said what to be him and Allah gives through gentleness what he does not give through harshness go back to your people to fail try again try a different way so go back to them this time no light in your hand nothing particularly miraculous give them darwah in a gentle way so he said so I went back to them and I called them again and this time the implication is that he spent some time with them calling them to Islam it's not easy we all want the darwah to succeed in 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes it took years right for him to get his people to come on board but at the end of it he had about 90 families from dos Embrace Islam so he said so I went back to my people and basically he was between the prophet salallahu in Madina and his people in DOS so he mainly was still amongst his people calling them to Islam still was with him as well in dosed calling them to Islam and he would go see the prophet saws occasionally in Al Madina so he said so I missed Bader and uhud and then after handak I brought 80 or 90 families with me from dose to the prophet saws so this was the answer to the Dua of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam Allah guide those and bring them to me and so 80 90 families is a big deal at that time right for 80 90 families to come from a different place and to resettle in a strange place is very difficult and subhanallah many of them out here when they mentioned this as a side note they talk about the difficulty of Hijra at the time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam back then you don't make Hijra like this unless you are fleeing persecution or something significant is happening the trade routes are seasonal you go out for this purpose and that purpose but the idea of moving and picking up your life and being in what might become hostile territory in a moment where tribalism is rampant and people kill each other the minute that someone kills someone else's camel or does something then you have a 40-year 50-year war I mean that's the reality of Arabia at the time so for 90 families to come with their Chief and say we're going to settle in Medina As migrants and we're going to Bear the difficulties of being muhajidin at this point is deeply profound and so he brought with him 90 families now subhanallah the narrations become extremely interesting in this regard um some of you may have watched for those left behind I mentioned this narration in particular so I'm going to go through it now with the context of the Allah do you want to come and settle in dose under a strong Fortress like we will protect you from everybody if you come to DOS we'll make that the headquarters for you but the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam he refused because of what Allah because the blessing of having the prophet saws not Mecca ever again nor any other place no matter what they could offer Madina is Madina so the prophet saws made Hijra to Medina and that was it he was going to stay in Medina goes on to say that one of the people that made Hijra with to fail Madina so he came to Medina he got sick the weather the climates the distrust fajesia like it it overtook him with sadness now remember when the meccins made his ratu Medina where she says they were stretched out with their fevers and they both look like they're about to die and they're authoring all of this poetry about how much they miss Mecca Medina was a difficult place for them to initially make their Hijra even if Medina is more beautiful it's agriculture the water was not necessarily healthy when you drank the water in Medina at that time you got sick especially if you weren't used to it right think about when you go visit I'm not going to go there all right but you all know where I'm going with this right I know a lot of you when you go to a country that you're unfamiliar with you drink the water for the first time what happens you're going to get sick for a week so when people would make Hijra to Medina they'd get sick and I said hello this narration is very very interesting and it requires a deep study so he got sick and the sickness prolonged he was overtaken by basically a form of sadness depression um and what he did was he took his um he took basically like a sharp Stone and he cut off his fingertips so he cut off his own fingertips and that's what the uh means the tips of his fingers now when he did that basically the blood flowed from his hands until he died this is a very interesting story because he's a muhajir he's a Muslim a new convert he just made Hijra and whatever his intention was when he cut off his fingers right I mean that basically caused his death right so his situation is deeply perplexing in his dream hasana said is he he looked beautiful right he had he had the full clothes of Jannah it was a good dream and he said but at the same time he means that his uh his hands were covered so it's really interesting like he has the clothes of Jannah but his hands were covered to Faith asks his friend who he brought from dose what did your lord do to you what did he do for you what happened to you at this point he said that he forgave me because of my Hijra to the prophet salallahu so this is the hopeful part of the Hadith he said but why are your hands covered he said because then he said to me we're not going to fix for you what you yourself have suffered we will not Rectify what you yourself have corrupted interesting so he's in Jannah per se or he has he's in some sort of place that resembles a good place of Jannah but he didn't get his hands back so he came to the prophet salallahu when he told the Prophet salallahu this dream what did the prophet saws do what do you think the prophet saws did he said Allah and for his hands forgive him o Allah and for his hands forgive him o Allah for his hands forgive him so the prophet saws for his hands to be restored as well this Hadith is one of the proofs that if a person took their own life it is of the worst major sins but the janaza still prayed on that person is still made for that person so this this Hadith actually has great hope but it also has a great warning the great hope is that you still make Dua for the person even with the major sin the major sin does not make you a cafe in Islam right that's not our Creed it is of the worst of sins but it doesn't make a person a disbeliever so that's the hope of this is that Allah eventually forgave him the warning is that even a person who made Hijra to the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam and underwent that Journey still he had to face some of the consequences of his own action because of the severity of that act now how did the irlamat balance wait a minute if you enter Jannah you enter with perfection the the correct opinion Allah knows best and of course this is all you know extrapolations is that this is barzak because in barzach you can be both rewarded and punished in ways which is the realm between this life and the Hereafter because this ummah also is punished in its grave sometimes that may Allah protect us from all together but there are people that are somewhat punished and people that are somewhat rewarded but if you enter into Jannah then obviously when you enter into Jannah there is no more Corruption of the body no harm no ills and things of that sort so this companion that he brought to Islam Allah knows best but this was a scene perhaps from al-barzach where he still had to face the consequences of what he did but Allah still forgave him and the meaning is very profound that we will not correct what you yourself have messed up so this is an Amana your body is namana do not harm the body that Allah has given to you so this is uh one of the the interesting narrations about and who with the companion that he brought with him to Al Madina now after that says that I and my people we settled in Medina with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and we stayed with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam until fatah until the conquest of Mecca and he said that when we went to the conquest of Mecca I asked the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam ya rasulullah o messenger of Allah allow me to be the one that destroys the idol that's known as dulcafe it's literally it's two branches two hands that are coming out of that Idol and it was the idol of amribnu Umama now I'm the person who used to host when he was one of the powerful people of Mecca and usually the elites hosted the elites right and his Idol cafein was an idol that he used to show off a lot it was a huge Idol that was made of a particular type of copper and it had all sorts of features to it so he asked the prophet saws allow me to be the one to remove that Idol because other people will be removing the idols obviously the prophet saws so he went to uh that Sanam to that Idol of Del caffeine so that he could burn it basically he had to set a fire within it so that he could completely demolish it and while he did that he said yeah we are not from your slaves we preceded you to this world and I am the one who has put fire into your belly why because they used to have all these superstitions that if you harm the idols or if you don't honor the idols that they're going to cause all sorts of horrible things to happen to you and so there's something symbolic as well about kindling the fire within the idol and destroying that Idol from within where they used to say that if you harm this Idol if you don't honor this Idol you're going to develop all sorts of diseases and certain things are going to happen to you so he said until he passed away so I went back with the prophet saws until he passed away now subhanallah usually his story ends with Allah but it continues he said appointed me as one of the Warriors one of the Chiefs against now does anyone know who to lay Hal Assad is anyone heard this name so you who's the most famous false prophet after the prophet saws the person who declared prophet and killed many Muslims and was was known for his brutality is a man who also claimed prophethood okay but listen to this because it gets very interesting he claimed prophethood he fought against the Muslims and then he repented and became Muslim and then became very interesting character so you actually say today which is it's strange subhanallah would happen with him and some of the scholars they debated well what happens to a person who apostrated and didn't just apostate became a false prophet and then repented and came back and hasuna Islam whose Islam was actually firm very interesting and unique unique case but was a man who claimed prophethood and fought against for some time and then went on to become a mujahid afterwards so So I entered into uh you know into the uh the battle with tulleha and Allah gave us Victory and then came the Battle of eliamama now the Battle of yamama was the battle in which many many companions died and this was of course what catalyzed the compilation of the Quran uh once again and to the Muslim why because so many her father were going to be killed by Muse in this particular battle of a and here you will see his last miracle this man in the battle of he goes out in the Battle of yamama and his oldest son [Music] so his oldest son is named after his father which is common at the time right so he's with his oldest son and basically they're going from Battle to battle now so he went from being the chief the poet to just being a warrior now and subhanallah another interesting dream so you had the dream of His companion where he saw what happened to His companion and now you have another dream he wakes up on the way to aliamama and he tells his son and he tells the people around him he said I saw an interesting dream last night so listen to this dream yeah foreign so he said that I saw in this dream that my head was cut so I was beheaded but he saw that as he was beheaded a bird came out of his mouth now the prophet saws said that when a person passes away that the soul leaves from the eyes and the eyes follow the soul as it is a good ending so he said so in this dream my head was was cut and then a bird came out of my mouth and it flew and then this bird entered into a woman and then my son in the dream so he's now basically in the bird and he's in this woman and he said my son is looking around for me and he can't find me what an interesting dream subhanallah so he said what do you all think the dream means what do you all think the dream means so no one was able to answer it in particular right so they said we hope it's good inshallah so he then went ahead and he gave the on top seed of his own dream the explanation of his own dream so he said as for the first one my head being cut what does it mean what do you think it means that he was that he's going to die of that he's going to be martyred in this battle was a brutal brutal brutal man subhanallah he was someone who used to crucify who used to make examples out of the people he would kill we'll say them as a brutal man so I see myself being martyred in this battle he said as for the bird what do you think it is what do you think it is his soul because the prophet saws mentioned that the souls of the are in birds that are hanging from chandeliers that are suspended from the Throne of them they go out and they fill themselves with the water from the Riverbanks of al-jannah and some of what Allah has given them from the food of al-jannah they roam through and then they come back and they situate themselves in these beautiful chandeliers so The Souls of the shohada are in the bodies of birds and not like the birds that you know subhanallah they're in the bodies of birds may Allah allow us to have that blessing of a shahada I mean so he said that was the second part so the first one is that I'm going to be killed the second one is that this is my soul what about the entrance into the woman this is the hardest one of them all he says that as for my entering into the body of that woman he says this is the Earth and I will be buried in it once again so as I came into this world now I'm going back to this world okay so I've returned back to the Earth and he said as for my son I feel like this means that he's not going to achieve shahada with me and he's going to be looking around for me after the battle so you can imagine subhanallah his son hearing this dream and his son is terrified at what he just heard but this was this was the dream that he had so the Battle of yamama takes place foreign he was looking for his father the whole battle he's trying to stay near him and obviously Fathers and Sons fought next to each other they tried to keep with each other this was the habit of battle at the time the tribes Stay Together families stay together as they go into the battle and at some point in the battle as it got rough he was losing sight of tulfate and every once in a while to fatality would wave to his son to let him know where he was in the Battle and would call out to him and then they would reunite they would reunite they would reunite and they kept on fighting and kept on fighting and they kept on fighting and the battle became extremely Fierce and he lost his father and then he found him martyred in the battlefield exactly as he said and he was so sad and subhanallah something that happened to him as well is that his he lost his right hand in that battle the son lost his right hand so he lost his father and he lost his right hand and he was extremely sad so it was exactly the dream that his father had that he was martyred and he couldn't find his father subhanallah and he was saying that my son would not be granted shahada with me in this battle that I'm going to be granted shahada but not my son in this battle so he was very sad I mean he was extremely um remorseful missing his father and obviously as well lost his lost a significant part of his right hand and due to his sadness he wasn't eating he wasn't he wasn't being himself and listen to what um who told him that I see you sad I see you down he said he said I swear by Allah that there is no one amongst us who a part of him is already in Jannah except for you meaning your hand is already in Jannah so you're you're talking about you miss your father and obviously your father was killed and he wanted to be able to protect his father he wanted to be with his father in shahada that was what he had envisioned and he's saying your hand has already gone to al-jannah and there is no one amongst us who already a piece of them is in Jannah except for you so go forth and subhanallah his son who they used to call O son of the possessor of light osana of the possessor of light because that was the famous nickname of Tofer and so o-san of the possessor of light he went forth in the battle fighting with one hand and he was martyred in the Battle of yarmukh so he was a Shaheed the son of a Shahid to fade may Allah be pleased with them and join his father in that blessing of obviously the scene that the prophet saws had prophesied for the may Allah to be pleased with them both and be pleased with the companions who came before us so this was the story of the Allah and his son he had two other Sons one of them named and they both died as Muslims both of his parents died as Muslims his father actually seems to have outlived him despite being a very old man and his father narrates to a Hadith from the prophet saws one of them praying behind the prophet saws and describing the Sajid of the Prophet saws when he recited and also he said I prayed with the prophet saws or I heard the prophet Saws and then he made sajdah and I made sajda with the prophet sallallahu so the only two narrations he has are the narrations about the prophet saws when he is reading the Quran and subhanallahu does not narrate a single Hadith from the prophet salallahu not one why because he died too early right I mean the companions that died in yamama did not live to be able to narrate traditions on behalf of the prophet salallahu and his son who was the primary narrator on behalf of his father died in the um which was one of the most famous battles that took place but with all that being said and this is the the most powerful and profound part about this man every single time you recite he has a share of that reward and this is one of the greatest lessons subhanallah that you take from these lives the one who causes good the one who calls to good the one who facilitates good is like the one who does good not a single Hadith from him not a single Hadith from his children but he inspires the man to become Muslim that will narrate over five thousand ahadith from the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and gives us access to the prophet saws in a way that we would otherwise have absolutely no access and all of that is to his credit and that really makes you think subhanallah this man who you hear such little you know in terms of narrations about himself look at the profound impact that he had on the history of Islam and think about yourself when you feel like you know I'm not doing these great things I'm not doing these great things I'm not doing these great things I mentioned this passed away and one of the sentiments was you know subhanallah everyone was celebrating Allah everyone was talking about you know this man and the impact that he had on so many people it's all over there was a sentiment like wait are people even going to really know when I pass away is it or is it just going to be like one of those quiet janazas and only a few people doesn't matter because Allah azzawajal writes down the impact of a person it doesn't matter if the Muslims don't say the name of tulfate Allah writes down the adjective to fail every time we say the name of Allah and when a person looks into these biographies they should see where they fit in the scheme of the darwah to Allah and to his messenger may Allah be pleased with and reward him for his service to the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam may Allah reward him for his shahada may Allah reward him for his dawah may Allah gather us with him and with the Companions and with our beloved prophet salallahu and his family and the highest level I'll take a couple of questions before the adhan of Aisha and next [Music]
