 وأقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال وأقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهادي ولا أتأولوا الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شنيك له وأشد أن محمد العبده ورسوله أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى in this episode I want إن شاء الله تعالى to talk about the story of Umus Suleim and her child but before I mention the story of Umus Suleim this noble companion this noble female companion I first want to mention the value of children to humans and how valuable children are to us الله سبحانه وتعالى he says in the Qur'an زينا للناس يحبوا الشهواتي من النساء والبنين that Allah سبحانه وتعالى he placed in the heart of humans men, الله تعالى placed in their hearts the love of women الله also placed in the hearts of men and women the love of their children يعني the love of a child is something Allah سبحانه وتعالى placed inside us sometimes you find the most harshest the most toughest the most stubborn the most hard headed person but when it comes to his children he is so soft and so sweet and so easy going this is something that you tend to find sometimes and الله سبحانه وتعالى he tests his creation the believers as I mentioned in the previous episodes الله سبحانه وتعالى wants to test his iman حاسب الناس وأن يتركوا وأن يقولوا أمن وهم لا يفتلون do you think that you can just say I'm a believer but Allah is going to test your iman the person who is grounded and has true belief and when this test comes it doesn't really shake him much rather he blossoms he glows and shines in this trial and tribulation the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمه سان ما يزال البلاء بالمؤمن والمؤمنة في نفسه وولده وما له حتى يلق الله وما عليه خاطئة the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلمه سان ما يزال البلاء the word will be consistent and continuous to the believer the believing man and the believing woman بالمؤمن والمؤمنة the believing man and woman and the test will occur في نفسه الله will test you in yourself your health الله will test you وولده الله will test you in your children ومالي الله will test you in your wealth reduction of wealth ولنبل ونكم بشيء من الخوف والجوع ونقص من الأموال والأنفس والتمرات وبشر الصابرين الذين إذا أصابتهم مصيبة قالوا إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون أولئك عليهم صلوات من ربهم ورحمة وأولئك هم المحتدون الله mentions to us سبحانه وتعالى that he is going to test us in many ways he is going to test us by reducing our wealth الله will test us by taking away our health الله will test us by taking our children from us and Allah tests you and the reason for this is to feed this Eman of yours is it real? are you a true believer? or are you a hypocrite just claiming Eman? that's why the حديث I mentioned it says ما يزال البلاء بالمؤمن والمؤمنة the test is consistent for the believing man and woman also the Prophet SAW told us and this again the second حديث I am going to mention is going to show us the value that children have for us and how much they mean to us but also the reward for it the Prophet SAW said إذا ما تولد العبدي قال الله لملائكة when a person loses his children and his children are taken from him الله سبحانه وتعالى he says to the angels قبضتم ولد عبدي have you taken the soul of my slave's son or my slave's daughter my slave's child have you taken the soul of my slave's child الله says to the angels and he knows فيقولون أنا عبدي the angels will say yes الله then says قبضتم ثمارة فؤادي have you taken the most beloved the most precious thing to him ثمارة فؤادي means the most valuable thing to this person the thing that he cherishes the most and admires the most you've taken that from him you stripped that from him فيقولون أنا the angels will say نعمة والله we did فيقولوا and then Allah says to the angels ماذا قال عبدي what did my slave say when you took his child from him when you took from him ثمارة فؤادي the most beloved the thing that he admires the most when you took that from him what did he say what was his response فيقولون they say حميدك وسترجعك والله he praised you and he said إنا لله وإنا إليه رجود وسترجعك means he said إنا لله وإنا إليه رجود الله سبحانه وتعالى then says فيقولوا الله then says to the angels ابنوا لي عبدي بيتا في الجنة وسمووا بيتا الحمدي build a house a house in jannah for my slave and call that house the house of praise يعني بيت الحمدي what I want us to take from this is how Allah referred to the child to the parent ثمارة فؤادي the child is the most beloved thing to us and if someone came up to you and said I'll give you a million and give me a child you say no and a normal person common sense wouldn't give away his child and he is the most valuable thing to a person means a lot to the person إن شاء الله تعالى the third example I want to mention is how valuable children are because I have to mention this to your brothers and sisters before I mention the story of Umus Suleim and her child I have to mention the way the child is to us and how much we value the children there were two women كانت امرأة تاني معهم ابناهما الإمام البخاري المسلم بوثنريت للنا صحيح the story that happened at the time of Dawood and the time of Suleiman there were two women and they both had children so one day a wolf or a hyena whatever translates correctly to the word but a deep came and took the child from one of the mothers one of the mothers lost her child because of a deep a wolf or a hyena or a wild dog whichever you call it so when one of the women lost their child and it was the older one who lost the child the older one said to the younger one it's your child that the hyena took or the wolf took and she tried to take she's trying to take the child of the young woman she said you're the one who lost إنما ذهب ببنك the the deep has taken your child not my child the other one said no إنما ذهب ببنك no it's your child that the wolf took فتحاك متى إلى داود عليه السلام most of them they came to Dawood to judge between the two and Dawood he judged in favor of the older woman he said it's your child the younger one wasn't happy because it was her child it's her child this woman is trying to take her child from her so she wasn't happy with the judgment of Dawood عليه السلام so what she did was she went to Suleiman so they both went to Suleiman when they went to Suleiman the older one was thinking again it's going to be in her favor when they entered onto Suleiman Suleiman he said as soon as the issue was presented to him Suleiman ibn Dawood he said إطيني bring me a sikhi bring me a blade أشقوا بينهما I will split the child in half I'll give you half and you take half if you're both arguing over the child bring me a blade bring me a sword bring me a sharp object I'm going to split the child into two half I'm going to give you half and I'm going to give you half the young one being the mother the real mother she looked at the situation Suleiman is calling for a blade he was calling for a sword he wants to split the child in half it's her child she feels it so what did she say don't do this يرحموك الله may Allah have mercy upon you Suleiman don't do this this child is hers it's her child just give it her the young one he says because what does she want she's a mom she doesn't want her child to be killed as long as he lives she said no no no Suleiman do not kill the child let the older one have it it's hers then Suleiman this was his test he did this to determine whose child he was Suleiman then said it's yours to the young one because a mother will only do that a mother will never let her child be harmed a mother will never she will never treat her child in a way that causes him pain and agony when he died when he died when he died when he died he pointed at a woman while she was with his companions Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam this woman she had lost her child and because she lost her child whenever she saw a child she would think it was her child so she would grab the child and she would breastfeed it and when she looks at it when she wouldn't realize it it has to grab another one she kept doing that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said to the companions اتظرنونا do you guys think that that mother would throw her child into the fire do you think that woman if she's her child her son her daughter she would throw that child of hers in the fire do you think she would do that the companions seeing how that woman felt and the way she was sad and the way she was breastfeeding other children and they said no the Messenger of Allah she would never do that then the Prophet said الله is more merciful to the creation than the mother is to her child so the mother and the father the way they are towards their children is something words cannot explain unless you have children and our Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam a person whose heart is connected to the Day of Judgment a person who realizes the insignificance of this dunya and how low it is and how pathetic this dunya is when he lost his son Ibrahim and he died the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in his eyes watered and he cried Abdul Rahman Ibn Awfin was standing there he said even you or Messenger of Allah and he thought he wasn't allowed for the person to cry and he thought he was prohibited for the person to cry he said oh Messenger of Allah even you are crying and then the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he said to the Prophet Abdul Rahman Ibn Awfin this is a mercy Allah places in the heart of the creation and then the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he said إن العينة تدمح the eyes they water وإن القلب يحزن and also the heart feels sadness and sorrow ولا نقول إلا ما يرضي ربنا and we will not say except that which is pleasing to our Lord that's all we're going to say وإن بفراقك يا إبراهيم ولا محزونون and Ibrahim you're departuring you're leaving this world is bringing sadness to our hearts it's hurting us نبي الله محمد سيد وإن بفراقك إبراهيم ولا محزونون إبراهيم you're leaving this world and departing from this world is causing sadness to our hearts this now gives us brothers and sisters the feeling and understanding the value of children and those who have it and have children then they already know the bond of children and how they feel towards their kids now the story unravels the story of Umus Suleim كل شخص of you تذكروا ما قلت دعونا نlisten to Umus Suleim Umus Suleim هو أمي of Anas ibn Malik أنت لا تتعلم جميلة جميلة Anas ibn Malik who narrated many hadiths of the Prophet SAW Anas ibn Malik who served the Prophet SAW he was a servant for the Prophet SAW for 10 years Anas ibn Malik and he's from the Muqtireen the ones who narrate a large quantity of hadiths of the Prophet SAW his mother was Umus Suleim Umus Suleim she was married to Anas ibn Malik's father and Anas ibn Malik's father is who? Malik Umus Suleim when she presented Islam to her husband Malik the father of Anas she told him about Islam because she was interested in Islam she wanted to take Islam she told him about Islam and she said that إن هذا الرجل she means the Prophet SAW يحرم الخامر بنبي اللهي محمد he prohibits خامر and Malik was very addicted to alcohol he was addicted to the consumption of alcohol she said to him the Prophet SAW he prohibits alcohol he says alcohol is haran فنطلق Malik when he heard that he left Medina and he went to Sham when he went to Sham he went there to drink alcohol فهلك and he died over there so Umus Suleim she was without a husband one day أبو طلحة came to her so she has Anas ibn Malik for my previous marriage أبو طلحة came أبو طلحة came he spoke to her he conversed with her he asked her questions the conversation that took place between them is what I'm going to mention when he spoke to her he talked to her he said to her I am interested in you and you are a person who I would love to take as a wife I'd love to take you as a wife شلوكت أبو طلحة Umus Suleim شلوكت أبو طلحة and she said يا أبو طلحة she said أبو طلحة ما مثلك يرد someone like you should not be turned away someone like you I should not reject I don't think you're worthy of rejection you're a high noble person you're a gentleman you're a noble individual ولكنك مرؤ كافر but you are a disbeliever you are a kaffir وأنا مرأة المسلمة I am a woman who believes in Allah I am a Muslim woman لا يصلح لي أن أتزوجك it's not befitting for me to get married to you it's not right for me to get married to you Umus Suleim she clarifies everything to أبو طلحة first of all she says you are a noble person مثلك لا يرد someone like you should not be turned away someone like you should not be rejected but I am a Muslim and you're a kaffir this is something that doesn't work it can't work I can't marry you on the premises of you being a disbeliever أبو طلحة he said to her I have wealth I have أصفراء والبيضاء I have silver and gold I've got wealth I'm rich whatever you had mentioned I'll give it to you second thing he now presents money to her brothers and sisters sisters specifically watch the steps that Umus Suleim takes brothers look at what Umus Suleim is doing here present the situation of Umus Suleim to the reality of today and the world that we're living in today situation that we're seeing today Umus Suleim as soon as he mentioned wealth and finance she said I don't have no desire for that I don't care about your wealth I don't care about the money you possess but what I would say to you is if you accept Islam my dowry is your Islam you just have to become a Muslim and I will make my dowry Islam I don't want money from you أبو طلحة they said okay what do I do how do I become a Muslim she said go to the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام أبو طلحة walked onto the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام when he entered and the Prophet عليه الصلاة was with his companions when the Prophet سوء أبو طلحة from far he said this face of this man looks like he's coming to take Islam أبو طلحة came and he accepted Islam there is no woman whose dowry is better than a dowry of Umus Suleim her dowry was the Islam of a noble companion أبو طلحة رضي الله رضي الله look at the position of this woman how noble she is رضي الله so her and أبو طلحة got married she became his wife they remain together they stay together one day أبو طلحة's child that he had from Umus Suleim became very sick they had a child the child became very sick so أبو طلحة didn't go to Salat Al-Fajr when he did his go to Salat Al-Fajr أبو طلحة when he was leaving he was saddened by the illness of his child that he had for Umus Suleim was hurt by it he was saddened by it so he went to the masjid he prayed with the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and he stayed there for until Salat Al-Dhuha then he came home he prayed Salat he came home spent time with his family then he went out again and he prayed Salat Al-Dhuha with the prophet and he came back after Al-Dhuha and then he slept for a little bit and then he woke up and then he went to Salat Al-Asr he went to the masjid again he came back until Salat Al-Isha Salat Al-Isha أبو طلحة got ready for Salat Al-Isha and he left to go to the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام all this time his son is very sick and he's ill and he's sad he's spending so much time with the prophet maybe find some reassurance something that can bring tranquility to his heart while he's at Salat Al-Isha his son passes away he dies he comes home after Salat Al-Isha when he comes home he asks his wife and Muslim he says how is my son how's my son doing she said to him your son has it complained and now he's tranquil which is true he's not complaining because he's dead and he's tranquil so أبو طلحة understood it as to mean he got better now he didn't understand and almost Suleim instructed the people in the house no one tell him about the death of his child she said I will break the news to him Subhan Allah please sisters and brothers point out the way that she's keeping her composure is أبو طلحة slept and when he went to sleep feeling better this time being told that his son is not complaining and is in a state of tranquility أبو طلحة went to sleep when أبو طلحة went to sleep and what she did was she beautified herself she placed perfume on herself she made herself very very beautiful and this woke up أبو طلحة and they had an intimate relationship when they had an intimate relationship أم السلام she said the following words to أبو طلحة she said يا أبا طلحة أرأيت لو أن قوما أعار قوما عارية لهم she gave him a scenario a hypothetical scenario she said if a person borrowed another person something someone borrowed someone something فسألوهم إياها and the person who borrowed it asked for the thing that he borrowed to be given back to him once his things back أكان لهم أن يمنعوهم the ones who borrowed the items who were given the items do they have the rights to say to the person who borrowed them the items no I'm not going to give it back to you do they have the rights أبو طلحة he responded and he said لا they don't have the rights to قالت he then said فإن الله عز وجل الله سبحانه وتعالى كان عارقة منك الله he loaned you your son he borrowed you your son that can be said ثم قبضه now he has taken back what was his so I tell you she said فحت سب اتمنى من الله سبحانه وتعالى سبحانه وتعالى فقالت هذه الوضع أبو طلحة became extremely angry فقالت لها you hid this information from me you then made me fall into a sexual relationship with you I enjoyed myself while my son was dead he became extremely angry and then the Salat Al-Fadir came and he went to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and he told the prophet about what happened and what took place he informed the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام and the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said بارك الله ولكم ما الله سبحانه وتعالى plays Baraka for you both that sexual relationship that you just had last night may Allah bring something out of that may Allah put Baraka in it for you الله سبحانه وتعالى gave from that from that intimate relationship that night أمو سلين became pregnant and she had a child for him and as soon as that child was born أمو سلين she gave birth to the child أبو طلحة commanded Anas Ibn Malik to go to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and take the child to him and the new born child to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the prophet the child was brought to him and the prophet took a date and a bit of his saliva in there and he put it in the mouth of the new born child of أمو سلين and the first thing that that child of أمو سلين and أبو طلحة took with the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم something that came from his blessed mouth إمام البخاري narrated in his Sahih that Sufyan Ibn Uryainas said that a man from the people of Ansar said فرأيت لهم تسعة أولاد أمو سلين من أبو طلحة they had nine children and Allah gave them nine children كلهم قد قرأ القرآن all of them were hufaaab nine children that came from أمو سلين من أبو طلحة were all hufaaab and this was because of the dua of the prophet he said may Allah bless you in what comes from this the message صلى الله عليه وسلم and made dua والله brothers and sisters أمو سلين has truly shown us the real meaning of الإيمان و بالله to believe in Allah and the effects that إيمان has when it comes to someone's heart يعني that it changes someone that it makes a person's life change she didn't in any way shape or form the minute she lost her child she didn't she didn't slap her cheeks she didn't rip her clothes she didn't say foul language the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said in the hadith ليس مننا ملطم القدودة و شق الجيوبة و داعا بداعوة الجاهلية the prophet said is not from amongst us the one who slaps his cheeks who rips his clothes and comes with actions of the pre-islamic actions يعني أهل الجاهلية what they used to do that person is not from us the prophet said أم مسلم didn't do any of that the composure the way she kept herself together the reason is because when she was tested أحاسي من ناس أن يتركوا أن يقولوا أمن و هم لا يفتنون when Allah chose to test her and put her through that trial and tribulation her iman was very strong she was grounded it was like a mountain on a windy day the mountain doesn't move because of the wind it doesn't move she didn't move because of it the way that dunya didn't mean anything to her و الأم طلحة presented dunya to her and how a day سبحان الله the world has changed the women are only running after money and a lot of men are also doing the same they're running after wealth and money and dunya wherever they can find it anything I might have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me الشيطان and Allah this messenger are free from it
