الإمام علي ابن الحسين ابن علي زينا العابدين ورسائد the 2nd صلوات كتابه للمساعدة سيدنا ومولانا المضلوم الشهيد الحسين ورسائد the 3rd صلوات والله يساعدون بها اللهم بأن أبدأ my lecture with ونجمي ورزدن اللهم سبحانه وتعالى يساعدون to elevate في which Allah has remembered an abundance in the morning and at the night this verse in chapter 24 verse 36 according to the grand mufessireen the grand scholars when this verse was revealed أبو بكر ابن أبو قحافة came to Rasool Allah and he said يا رسول الله which homes are those homes the homes that Allah decides to elevate Allah decides to uplift which homes are those homes that Allah has remembered an abundance during the day and during the night and Rasool Allah responded to him by stating تلك بيوت الأنبياء there are the homes and the residences of the prophets then the tradition state that he pointed at the door of Fatima and he said يا رسول الله أهاد البيت منهما is this home one of them رسول الله said بل هو من أفضلهما this home is not only one of them but is indeed the best of them إمام علي يبن الحسين ابن عليه زين العابدين also known as إمام السجاد is indeed a product of this home an upbringing an upbringing within this home within this residence not only people looked up to إمام السجاد or إمام زين العابدين because he was a product of this home but many of the companions of رسول الله awaited the birth of زين العابدين many of the companions of رسول الله awaited زين العابدين's movement his revivalist movement to uplift the spirits of the Muslim Ummah for one day tradition state that رسول الله was sitting and in his lap he was holding الإمام أبو عبد الله الحسين and جابر ابن عبد الله الأنصاري came when Jabir came and he sat next to the prophet رسول الله told him يا جابر اتعلموا من هذا يا جابر do you know who this child is so Jabir said فداح may I give myself to him of course I know him he is Hussein the son of Ali then رسول الله سد يا جابر سيولد له ولد الله will grant him a son يقال له زين العابدين his nickname is زين العابدين the beautifier of the worshippers the decorator of those who prostrate to Allah سبحانه وتعالى يقال له زين العابدين وسيد الساجدين إذا كان يوم القيامة when the day of judgment comes يقول الله من بطنان العرش الله will call from the عرش الله will call from the throne يقول الله من بطنان العرش أين زين العابدين where is زين العابدين and his son will rise and his son on that day will be given an honor like no other therefore many of the companions awaited the arrival of Imam زين العابدين as scholar a motivator that's going to reform and rejuvenate the Muslim Ummah and alongside Imam زين العابدين جاب ربن عبد الله الأنصاري who narrates the Hadith in regards to زين العابدين جاب ربن عبد الله who was one of the closest companions of Imam زين العابدين both hand in hand were able to spread the teachings of Imam زين العابدين and to spread the awareness and the aftermath of the tragedy of Imam زين العابدين and the tenth of Muharram on the sands of Karbala and the year 680 and that is why I have chosen to shed some light on the life of those two great personalities many of us we awfully hear of جاب ربن عبد الله we awfully hear that he was a companion of Rasool الله but we yet do not know the grand position of جاب ربن عبد الله and his role in the aftermath of Karbala جابر alongside his father عبد الله were the founders of the first and the second عقبة what is the first عقبة and what is the second عقبة when Rasool الله was a companion when Rasool الله decided to migrate from Makkah to Medina he began to build his community in Medina before his departure from Makkah so he appointed عبد الله الأنصاري جابر's father to go and take allegiance from the Muslim community in Medina for him and in the first عقبة عبد الله and his son جابر in the first عقبة they came and they met Rasool الله in a desert between Makkah and Medina alongside other 12 men and they brought Rasool الله allegiance some of them would represent 500 people some of them 100 people some of them will represent their families some of them will represent their tribes in the first عقبة 12 men alongside جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري and his father عبد الله gave allegiance to Rasool الله representing the people of Medina the following year in the second عقبة جابر and his father were able to bring 75 men representing different allegiances from the Muslim community in Medina and after the second عقبة when they gave their allegiance to Rasool الله 75 men representing all of Medina then Rasool الله decided that he's going to migrate from Makkah to Medina when he migrated from Makkah to Medina traditions say جابر dedicated his whole life to Rasool الله he never left Rasool الله never neglected Rasool الله history indicates that جابر was present in 18 battles and wars alongside Rasool الله and he transmits hundreds of traditions from Rasool الله صلى الله عليه وسلم he also he also transmits hadith for the believers he transmits hadith from فاطمة الزهراء he transmits hadith from إمام حسن إمام حسين علي يبن الحسين وإمام الباقر he transmits hadith from seven infallibles a position that no other companion has and amongst the most famous of the hadiths that he transmits سمعت فاطمة الزهراء عن جابر ابن عبد الله الأنصار أنه قال سمعت فاطمة الزهراء أنها قالت دخل علي أبي رسول الله في بعض الأيام فقال يا فاطمة أني أجد في بدني ضعفا فقلت يا أبتاه أعيدك بالله من الضعف فاطمة إتيني بالكساء اليماني فغطيني به فأتيته بالكساء اليماني فغطيته به وصرت أنظر إليه وإذا وجهه يتلأ لك الشمس في ليلة كماله وتمامه this is a hadith transmitted from جابر ابن عبد الله حديث الكساء جابر ابن عبد الله ومن أول사ا زيارة إمام حسين في عربعين ومن إمام حسين وقلت أبدا على صرافيه قلت إبقى معي عن أصوات أصوات قلت هو أصوات لمن ارغبوا بلأك أغزئوا أفرات ثلاثة الجنان of And see the traditions that he stated of those who do their Gussel from the Euphrates before the visit of Imam Hussein the magnificent Tawab and the reward And the Gussel from the Euphrates before the visit of Imam Hussein. So he did his Gussel Then he told him give me the best of my clothing جابر بن عبد الله could not see at that time وقته then he told him give me the best scent that you carry the best عطر that you carry the best perfume that you carry then he calmed his beard and he calmed his hair and then he told him呀 عطية let us take very small steps towards the grave of hossain so he told him why small steps aren't you ready to embrace the grave of hossain aren't you ready aren't you ever أقل أنا أن أرد مني حسابة حسين هستكلم أنه ليس ذلك but I heard his grandfather saying that for every step towards the shrine of Hussain Allah removes a 100,000 sins and Allah gives 100,000 positions and Allah writes a 100,000 Hajj and 100,000 عمره في كل مكان ، في كل مكان ، يأخذون في مجموعة حسين حسين لذا قلت لنا to make our steps smaller He every while would take some of the sand and he would smell the sand because he could not find the grave of Hussain There was no sign on the grave of Hussain until he reached a sand He picked up the sand and he realized this is the heavenly scent of Jannah This is the heavenly scent of Aba عبد الله الحسين So he said to him Oh Aqiyah let me go let go of me He threw himself on the soil of Hussain He threw himself on the grave of Hussain stating حبيبي حسين حبيبي حسين حبيبي حسين And then he said حبيبي حسين How can you respond to me when they have amputated your head from your body He sat next to the grave of Hussain crying then suddenly أطيع العوفي ستهم جابر I see a caravan coming So he جابر said Let us go and hide Maybe this caravan is from ابن زياد They went They were hiding until أطيع ستهم جابر يا عم يا جابر قم واستقبل سيدك ومولاك زين العابدين Stand up Stand up and your honor your mola زين العابدين So جابر stood up Waiting for Imam زين العابدين's arrival Imam زين العابدين arrived جابر wanted to tell him يبن رسول الله زين العابدين What happened here Tell me the story But زين العابدين Before جابر said anything He said عم يا جابر عم يا جابر هنا قدت رجالنا عم جابر Here is where our men were slaughtered عم يا جابر هنا سبيت نساءنا Here is where they took our women as captives هنا قدت لتأقفالنا جابر Here is where they killed our children And after that tradition stayed at Imam زين العابدين ordered جابر ابن عبد الله الأنصاري This great companion To become amongst the very first spokesmen Or very first individuals To give majalis For Aba عبد الله الحسين So جابر's role after that day Was to go from city to city Village to village And he would give sermons In regards to the tragedy of Aba عبد الله He would give lectures in regards To the tragedy of Imam حسين And because he was a transmitter Of hadith He would always begin his lectures By the following hadith سمعت رسول الله يقول أحب الله من أحب حسينها All the people I, Jabr ابن عبد الله Heard رسول الله state That Allah loves those Who love حسين Therefore جابر ابن عبد الله Had an extremely vital role In spreading awareness In the aftermath of عشرة The second personality is of course Imam زين العابدين Imam زين العابدين Of course his life needs to be examined In a different lecture In another lecture But I'll tell you Imam زين العابدين Was not just unique And the way he carried out The activities In the aftermath of عشرة But he has a personality that was unique A background that was also unique Also His mother was a Persian woman By the name of شهربانو شهربانو or شهزانان She was the daughter Of the last Persian king يزجرد And when ابن الحارث Went and he invaded And the Persian empire collapsed They took the daughters of يزجرد Three of them And they brought them to the Khalifa Of the time عمر ابن الخطاب So when they got those three girls They put them in front of عمر عمر said they are the best prisoners Of war Daughters of kings Imam أمير المؤمنين سترابني Said يا عمر Did you forget that Rasool الله Said those Who come from a family Of nobility Should not be humiliated By Islam We cannot humiliate people So he said يا أب الحسن What do you suggest He said I suggest that they marry From our community He said who shall they marry He said the first one Shall marry محمد ابن أبي بك The second one Will marry عبد الله Your son عبد الله ابن عمر And the third one Will marry حسين my son Imam أمير المؤمنين And this Because the Persian hearts Were filled with hatred towards Islam Imagine Your country is invaded Your empire is invaded Your king is taken His daughters are taken as captives أمير المؤمنين Said now that those guys invaded them They destroyed them At least let them see the bright side in Islam At least let them see that Islam Is not all about taking prisoners Killing people So he gave them To the most prestigious men In the Muslim empire And the second reason Why أمير المؤمنين did this Was because أمير المؤمنين Wanted to fight The notion of هجناء There was a notion known as هجين Was an Arab That had a mix in his blood And the most disliked mix In the Arab blood Was the Persian blood As in the Arabs disliked This notion of هجناء And they looked at the هجناء Those with mixed blood As slaves And as second class citizens أمير المؤمنين Here came And took three of the noble Amongst the Muslims And of course The most noble of them Being خسين ابن علي And he allowed him to mix His children's blood With the blood of the هجناء So that he can teach The Muslims the messages of equality And I don't have time To get into the details unfortunately أمام زيل العابدين Was 22 years old In the battle of كربلا And he saw The tragedies That he witnessed in كربلا And after his tragedies أمام زيل العابدين Decided to reform the Muslim community To rejuvenate the Muslim community And since we speak of أمام زيل العابدين أمام زيل العابدين Was born at 38th year after هجلاء And he died in the 95th year After هجلاء And in this time أمام زيل العابدين And of course a tradition states That أمام زيل العابدين Was either martored on the 25th of محرام Or the 12th of محرام So if we take the hadith That he was murdered on the 12th of محرام Or he became a martyr on the 12th of محرام Then we are In the days of أمام زيل العابدين And we're living the days Of the martyrdom of أمام زيل العابدين أمام زيل العابدين's life was divided To the following principles One أمام زيل العابدين Rejuvenated the Muslim Ummah Through the purchase of slaves An extremely wise tactic From أمام زيل العابدين Because أمام زيل العابدين Realized that the people of his time Their hearts have turned into rocks They sat on the chest of the grandson Of رسول الله They beheaded him So أمام زيل العابدين Would purchase slaves And he would teach them And he would guide them And he would have them Memorize the Qur'an And memorize the hadiths And more importantly He would send them As speakers Around the Muslim world Go and speak Of the فضائل Of my grandfather أمير المؤمنين Go and speak Of the tragedy Of my father حسين Go and speak Of the aftermath Of عاشراء And those slaves Were more eloquent Than any free man They would go And they would speak To the people They would return And sometimes أمام زيل العابدين Would tell them How was your impact? They say أبنى رسول الله Those people's hearts Have turned into rocks We cannot change them And أمام زيل العابدين Would tell them Do not waste time With the elders To go directly To the youth Do exactly What رسول الله Did He went to the youth He spoke to the youth And he impacted the youth And أمام زيل العابدين Was able to change The paradigm of the people Through his impact On the youth Second أمام حسين أمام زيل العابدين Cater to the spirituality Of the people With his صحيفة الصجادية With his مناجات With his دعاز دعاز دعاء أبو حمزة ثمالي دعاء جوشن الكبير أبو حمزة Says One day I went on a travel With زيل العابدين And I saw him at night In the last ركعة In the water He raised his hands for دعاء And he read that دعاء That today is known as دعاء أبو حمزة ثمالي Which you recite In one night We recited one night And the whole year أمام زيل العابدين Would recite this دعاء every night In his قنوت إلهي لا تعذبني بعقوبتك ولا تمكر بي في حيلتك من أين لي النجات يا رب ولا يستطاع إلا من عندك The beautiful supplications of زيل العابدين That's reformed And rejuvenated The lives of the Muslims And finally إمام زيل العابدين رسالة الحقوق The treaties of rights And I wish We had more time To speak of every one of them To dwell on them To explain them إمام زيل العابدين Speaks of fifty rights The right of Allah The right of رسول الله The right of the teachers The right of the scholar The right of your parents The right of your hands The right of your eyes Every rights That you can think of إمام زيل العابدين Speaks of their responsibility Towards us And our responsibility Towards them But by far The greatest Of the legacies Of إمام زيل العابدين Was his sermon In the palace of Yazid A companion of رسول الله By the name of ساعد الساعدي Narrates I was in Sham And I saw That there was a group Of people coming into Sham Some people were pouring Trash onto them Some people were Heading them with rocks Some people were celebrating Some were going to curse them So I said Who's in town? What's going on? Why is there celebration? They said The Khawarj have been Defeated by the Khalifa And they have taken their heads On top of spears And they brought them into Sham So he said I went to have a look And I saw That they do not look Like the Khawarj Heads on top of spears He said I looked closer And I realized That I know this man I went to him I said to him Are you from The Prajin of Al-Muhammad He said Yes indeed I am He said Are you one of The Talib He said Yes I am Who are you He said I am One of the companions One of the companions Of Rasool Allah What's occurred? He said to him They killed my father Hussain And those are the heads Of my father And his companions On top of the spears He said Is there anyone That I Is there anything That I can do Now right away He said He said to him Ya Sa'ad Go and bring me a cloth So Sa'ad Says I thought that the Imam Wanted to wear something Because he was cold He said When I brought the cloth He said Put the cloth between the chain And my neck From Karbala All the way here The chains have cut The neck of Zayn al-Abideen Then he said Sa'ad Go and pay the guys Carrying the head To go move forward To the front Not to be scattered He said He said Ya Sa'ad It's enough for the man To stare at my aunt Zayn It's enough for the man To look at the Haram of رسول الله The woman of رسول الله In the camp of رسول الله He said I saw them As they entered the palace Of Yazid الله أكبر He said As soon as Zayn al-Abideen Entered the palace Of Yazid He saw that Yazid الملعون Was drunk Carrying a stick Drinking alcohol And at times He would whip The lips of Aba Abdullah al-Huzad Imam Zayn al-Abideen Would see this Then he told him Ya Zayn al-Abideen Have you enjoyed What Allah has brought To your family Have you enjoyed The defeat That I gave To your father Hussain Imam Zayn al-Abideen Remained quiet All Imam Zayn al-Abideen Would say Is ya Yazid I'ldanli لكي أصعد على هذا هؤلاء الأعواد لكي أتكلم كلا من لله فيه رضا ولها أولاء الجلساء أمرا وثواب أو يزيد give me permission To go on top of those woods سهل not call it an imbar لأن اليمبرMusik أمر أن يساعد سهل call the imbar The woods سot me go on top of those woods سو that I would speak words ستحدث the minds of the people And guide them To the right path يزيد يزيد with keep on rejecting Imam Zayn al-Aabideen so they came to him they said to him يا أمير المؤمنين he's a young man and he's just been defeated he's seen his father murdered he's ill he cannot even stand give him permission he said no for you do not know the family in which this man comes from إنه من أهل بيت زق العلم زقا كبيرهم لا يقاس وصغيرهم جمرة لا تداس their elders and adults are incomparable to the rest of humanity and their youngsters are like calls of fire you would not be able to handle them Imam Zayn al-Aabideen kept on insisting until they allowed him to go on top of the member when he reached the member he said بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله حبيب الله خاتم الأنبياء والرسول أما بعد أيها الناس أعطينا ستا وفضلنا بسبع أعطينا الحلماء والحلماء والسماحة والفصاحة والشجاعة والمحبة في قلوب المؤمنين وفضلنا بأن من النبي المخطار ومن الكرار ومن أسد الله وأسد رسوله
