 true this world relives no more than a pastime and pleasures fame the final hope that's life for sure with their knowledge this much attain بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين والسلام على صلاة والسلام على سيدنا وعظيمنا وحبيب قلوبنا وشفع نفوسنا أبل قاس محمد ولا أهل بيتها الطيبين الطاهرين وصحابه الغر الميامين الحمد لله الذي جعلنا من المتمسكين بولاية سيدي ومولاية علي بن أبي طالب الحمد لله الذي هدانا لهذا وما كنا لنحتدي لو لأن هدان الله أما بعد يقول الله في كتابه الكريم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قل لا أسألكم عليه يجرا إلا المودة في القرباء أبعي صلواتك ورسوله الله محمد والهوالي وسلًّا أبعي بمعامل المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب أبعي بكاملك أبعي بكاملك أبقا أبعي بكاملك أبعي بكاملك أتعا هم بخبار ربما إمام محمد بن علي الباطر صلوات الله وسلامه عليه وزبون on the first of Rajab in the 57th year after Hijrah and died on the 7th of the Hajjah in the 114th year after Hijrah وزبون as a colossus of Islamic knowledge and a beacon of light when it comes to each and every one of the Islamic sciences A man from whose life many lessons may be learnt especially in the fields of jurisprudence, theology and ethics and many examples may be derived And a man who was responsible for the spread and the dissemination of many of the teachings of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Unfortunately, إمام الباطر's life has not been studied in the way it should be Many people do not know what his role was amongst the imams of Ahl al-Bayt And many have not appreciated the amount of knowledge that he disseminated in his life If you were to ask many people to tell you about the life of إمام الباطر You will find that they are more able to tell you about his son إمام الصادر And are not able to elaborate on his own role And on his own transformation of the sciences of the religion of Islam Yet you find that when you dissect his life You realize that the solidifying and the crystallization of the school of Ahl al-Bayt Was performed by إمام الباطر And that's why there is a need to study his life in order that we appreciate That he began a lot of the schools of knowledge that reached us until today إمام الباطر when we look at his birth as we said He was born on the 1st of Rajab in the 57th year after Hijra His mother was Fatima the daughter of إمام الحسن And his father was إمام زين العبدي in the son of إمام الحسين Therefore from the beginning of his life He is distinguished with having an honor Like nobody else in the school of Ahl al-Bayt That his grandfather from one side is إمام الحسن And his grandfather from the other side is إمام الحسن Nobody has this honor in the school of Ahl al-Bayt His mother Fatima the daughter of إمام الحسن Was one of the most pious and devout wives of any of the إمامs of إحلال بيت That the narration said to us that Fatima بنت الحسن In terms of her beauty There was no equivalent to her when it came to her beauty On the 2nd level you find that إمام الحسن Had given his daughter Fatima an app title Her title was صديقة That title was of course the title of Fatima الزهراء And it was a title that continued with Fatima the daughter of إمام الحسن That on many occasions إمام البقر would say My mother Fatima her title was صديقة She was the truthful In every aspect of her life The mother of إمام البقر was known for her truthfulness Her words, her behavior, her trusts Her religious aspects There was nobody like her in the whole of Medina Who was known for their truthful nature And that's why you find that her كنية Her title was an interesting one Her title was أم عبدالله Because we find إمام our 4th إمام His wife Fatima gave him 2 sons She gave him محمد البقر She gave him عبدالله الباهر عبدالله الباهر The brother of محمد البقر Was called عبدالله الباهر because of his beauty They used to say of the sons of زينا العبدين There are no one as beautiful as عبدالله الباهر محمد البقر came from the same mother Now someone might ask the question How about زيد the son of إمام زينا العبدين Who did he come from Came from the wife of إمام زينا العبدين Who was from Sind You know Sind And the Indo-Pac subcontinent Sind إمام زينا العبدين And married a lady from Sind Who gave him the son Zaid In other words Of the wives of إمام زينا العبدين Fatima بنت حسن Gave him محمد البقر And عبدالله الباهر We find that إمام الباقر As we said He was born in extremely difficult circumstances He was born in the 57th year after هجرة Towards the end of the خلافة Of معاوية بن أبي سفيان معاوية had reached a stage Where he had complete dominance On the Islamic empire Nobody could come near his dominance And the narration said to us That he had killed many of the companions Of أمير المؤمنين And many of the companions Of إمام الحسن as well As in معاوية had killed people like حجر بن عادي الكندي رشاد الهجري He had killed others For example Such as عمر بن حمق الخزاعي And even further than this We find with معاوية That he had put under pressure Many great companions ميثم التمار حبيب بن مضاهر مختار الثقفي Many of these companions Were put under immense pressure By معاوية Many people thought معاوية when he dies He would give the leadership Back to إمام الحسين Why? Because معاوية Had signed the treaty With إمام الحسن And that part of that treaty Would be that the leadership Would be given back to To أهل البيت However معاوية Appointed يزيد To become his successor And as we know معاوية told يزيد Beware of four Beware of عبد الرحمن ابن أبو باكر And عبد الله ابن عمر And عبد الله ابن الزبار And حسين بن علي Beware of these four يزيد Made sure that a couple of them were Politically quiet And another one secluded himself And as we know إمام الحسين Rose on the plains of Karbala With his famous lines That a man like me Does not pledge allegiance To a man like him إمام الحسين When he was killed On the 10th of Muharram إمام الباكر Was three and a half years old And إمام الباكر Therefore Was at Karbala At the age of three and a half Normal as a child You want your experiences At that young age To be experiences of warmth Experiences of comfort Experiences of happiness You don't want to be In an environment At the age of three and a half Where you witness An event like The event of Karbala But إمام الباكر At the age of three and a half Was sitting in the tent With his father إمام زين العابدين At the end of the 10th of Muharram And you can imagine For someone three and a half years of age He may not necessarily See what's happening outside But the first thing he sees Is his dad very ill on the bed The second thing he sees Is his auntie زينب Running from one tent to another They burned the tents Of آل محمد And when they burned The tents of آل محمد What happened? Aunt إسيد زينب Would run from one tent to another Bibi أم قلثوم Would run from one tent to another إمام الباكر As a child had to also run Why? Because the horses were galloping Across the children Of أهل البيت Therefore إمام الباكر At the age of three and a half Had to witness Karbala In front of him And had to also witness The oppression that came after Karbala Because you know what they did To إمام الباكر He was only three and a half They chained him next to رقية رقية بنت الحسين And سكينة بنت الحسين And إمام الباكر And the other children of أهل البيت All of them were chained together And taken from Karbala To كوفا And from كوفا to شام In شام إمام الباكر These first words of knowledge In front of يزيد Because up until that stage Nobody had really asked Who is this young man His name was محمد من علي They thought he's just like any other محمد At that time he didn't have any titles He was only three and a half يزيد was sitting down On his throne While يزيد was sitting down On his throne He looked at سكينة And رقية And he looked at سيدة سيدة بنت الحسين And he looked at رباب He saw all of them And when he saw them He said You know what I think the best thing to do With all of you Is that some of you Will sell you off As slave women And the rest of you You know what we'll do We're going to kill you One by one The place became silent All of a sudden Somebody spoke And said Oh يزيد When فرعون was in power And he caught موسى And هارون فرعون at least Asked his people What should we do to them And his people said Let them go and live far Whereas you يزيد Have no respect for the family Of the man who bought this religion The people looked around يزيد said Who said that And they saw a three-year-old Imam الباقر saying that From that day يزيد said How old is this kid They said He is three years of age What's his name They said أحمد بن علي بن الحسين He said Which علي بن الحسين They said that one He said We killed علي بن الحسين He said No that's علي الأكبر This is علي زين العابدين He said That three-and-a-half-year-old Speaks like that to me He wanted to do something But he thought That it would be an act of cowardness If he slapped a three-and-a-half-year-old So he left them alone And many of the people realized That this young boy Is not an ordinary young boy Because to be able to answer A Khalifa With knowledge like that Is extraordinary Someone says What type of knowledge was that Do you know why it's extraordinary Not because he's three years old But because How do you have the knowledge Of Pharaoh, Moses, and Aaron At that age Who would be able At that moment to say فرعون ست موسى and هارون Normally you need to learn Those stories are over a number of years Before you have that knowledge امام محمد بن علي At the age of three-and-a-half Was already speaking like this To Yazid And that's why what happened Yazid allowed them to be released They left for Karbala Then they went to Medina امام محمد بن علي Lived under his father امام زين العبريد For a few years after In Medina And the narration tells us That there was a man waiting To give him salams From رسول الله Because ين محمد بن علي There was a man living in Medina At the time called جابر بن عبدالله الأنصاري جابر بن عبدالله الأنصاري Was the oldest surviving companion Of رسول الله He lived until the age of 90 Some reports say until the age of 93 جابر's father عبدالله And his grandfather Amr Were the most generous And the richest men in Medina Do you know where their house used to be In Medina Those of you who've been to مجد القبلاتين You've been to Majd al Qiblatain Where the Qiblah got changed They used to have a mansion Next to that house Not a small house In those days Most people had small houses They used to have a mansion جابر's father عبدالله الأنصاري Was known for his generosity To the extent one day He gave away so much money He fell into debt He would be generous towards everyone And جابر's father عبدالله الأنصاري Was the man Who said to the people of Medina Oh people of Medina I hear that there is a prophet Who has announced his prophethood In Mecca But the people of Mecca Do not want him So let us The people of Medina Go to him And let us The people of Medina Welcome him to our land And that's why When Rasoolallah came to Medina One of the most hospitable people To Rasoolallah Was عبدالله الأنصاري The father of جابر And that's why This عبدالله الأنصاري When it came to the battle of Badr عبدالله الأنصاري Was the man When it came to the battle of Badr جابر came up to him جابر some hadith Was only 19 at the time He came up to his father He said Dad, I want to fight today His dad said No He said to him Why? Because I have nine sisters You have to look after them In case I die So جابر went to Rasoolallah He said to him يا رسول الله I want to fight with you In the battle of Badr But my dad Isn't allowing me Rasoolallah looked at me He said Why? He said Because I have nine sisters So he said جابر you must look after them So then جابر Said to him يا رسول الله So what role can I have In the battle of Badr To which Rasoolallah Replied جابر Carried the water For the soldiers It is a form Of showing love For Allah In this battle Then in the battle Of Uhud جابر's father Abdullah got killed Hinned the mother Of Mu'awiya Mutilated two bodies On the battle Of Uhud Hamza's body And جابر's father's body They cut their body Into pieces This جابر Al-Ansari Was so close To Ahl al-Bayt That Hadith Al-Qisa Is narrated by جابر بن عبد الله Haven't you read Hadith Al-Qisa When it says عن جابر بن عبد الله Al-Ansari عن فاطمة زرا Isn't it جابر Al-Ansari Was so close That he was a companion Of Rasoolallah He was a companion Of Imam Ali He was a companion Of Imam Al-Hassan He was a companion Of Imam Al-Hussain He was a companion Of Imam Zain Al-Abideen And Rasoolallah Said to him Oh Jaber One day You will meet A young man Whose name Is my name Whose attributes Are like my attributes Who has Noor Shining from his face And who has Wisdom and knowledge Like none other His name Is Al-Baqar Make sure you Send my Salams to him جابر Would be sitting Outside the mosque Of the Prophet Saying Where is Al-Baqar Where is Al-Baqar And the people Would walk past And say جابر's Old age Has got to him جابر is becoming insane جابر is just saying Loud words All of a sudden One day You find that the narration Say Imam Zain Al-Abideen Boat Muhammad Ibn Ali And he said Oh Jaber There is someone Who wants to see you Jaber was blind At the end of his life Jaber looked at him And he touched him And he said I felt The footsteps Of Rasoolallah Coming towards me Because When someone is blind Their other senses Become stronger Their other senses Become sharper جابر said I feel the footsteps Of Rasoolallah Who is this Imam Zain Al-Abideen Said This is Muhammad Ibn Ali The one you are calling Al-Baqar جابر Took Imam Al-Baqar Replaced him in his lab And he said I want to kiss your hands I want to kiss your feet Your grandfather Rasoolallah Said to me Oh Jaber Send my hands When Rasoolallah Said Send my salams To someone Do you know How knowledgeable This person must be For Rasoolallah To send his salams to him He said Send my salams To Muhammad Al-Baqar And know that he is Al-Baqar Because he will Split knowledge completely People ask The word Baqar What does it mean Of course it's not his name It's his title Baqar Comes from the word Baqar Baqar What does it mean When a farmer Rips his farmland Or rips open the soil They call it Baqar Imam Al-Baqar Because he Ripped And split And scrutinized And spread knowledge They called him Al-Baqar Or they would call him Baqar Al-Aloom The one who splits Please mark The three S's He splits knowledge Scrutinizes knowledge Spreads knowledge That is a lesson For us today That we Who claim to follow Imam Al-Baqar Have we split knowledge open Have we scrutinized knowledge Have we spread Our knowledge You see some people Made fun of Imam Al-Baqar Because they were Jealous of him You know one person Was walking one day He looked at Imam Al-Baqar He said Baqar Baqar is different from Baqar What does Baqar mean Surat Al-Baqar Surat Al-Baqar Means what in English Baqar Someone came to Imam Al-Baqar One day when he heard Jabir Bin Abdullah And said to him Baqar Imagine in the face Of Imam Al-Baqar You call him In the cow And Imam Al-Baqar Looked at the person He said to him No, my title is Al-Baqar And the person said to him Your mother Her job is a cook Nothing more He said that is her profession Then he said I heard your mother Was a black woman Shame on you Imam said If you are telling the truth May Allah forgive you And if you are lying May Allah forgive you as well People would hear This name Al-Baqar Some would try And make fun of him And call him Baqar Or Baqara The cow Whereas Imam Al-Baqar Would reply to them With أخلاق He would be patient Until there'd be a day When he'd disseminate his knowledge And that's why the narration Say to us That the reason he was given The name Baqar Was because in a period Where many different schools Of knowledge were emerging People went to him When they needed to split And scrutinize And understand knowledge Imam Al-Baqar In his time Imam He faced over 5 خلافاء Of بني أباس Of بني أمية 5 خلافاء You had in his time Some of these خلافاء I tell you Some of them were the most Unreligious caliphs You'll ever find And in some cases Because they were so unreligious It actually helped him Spread his message Because they were more concerned With the world of women And the world of music And the world of luxury Imam Al-Baqar Thought Wow These people are busy Let me spread the knowledge Of Al-Muhammad You found in his time You had different types of caliphs Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan Was a caliph In the time of Imam Al-Baqar Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan How was he as a caliph? He employed حجاج As his governor حجاج As the caliph Used to say I wish I was present On the 10th of Muharram So I could have been Who beheaded the grandson of Rasool Allah You put someone like this as your governor And the books of history Say Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan The great caliph of Islam Which caliph? This is the caliph you want Someone who puts a man like this in power Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan Employs حجاج حجاج comes on عيد الأضحاء Those of you who have been to Hajj What do we do on عيد الأضحاء We sacrifice, don't we? We sacrifice animals حجاج used to say To the people who joined عيد الأضحاء The reply was People sacrifice animals حجاج said very well Get me everyone called Ali Hassan and Hussein So I can sacrifice them as well Abdul Malik You want Imam al-Baqara You want to see someone like this Imam al-Baqara To face Sulaiman Ibn Abdul Malik You think the dad was bad Look at Sulaiman Sulaiman Ibn Abdul Malik When he became caliph They used to say to him Please lead Salat to the community You are the caliph of the Muslims People expect you to lead Salat He used to look at them And he says Are you joking? I've got two women In my room right now And you want me to come out And pray Get someone else To lead this Salat To the community Get someone else who can lead Unless Sulaiman Ibn Abdul Malik Used to have two girls Who would be around him all the time One was called Salama And the other was called حباب This is the type of people Imam al-Baqara Had to live under One was called Salama The other was called حباب Abdul Malik Sulaiman Abdul Malik Used to keep حباب And next to him At the time of Salat al-Jum'a He used to sing his poetry He used to say While all of these people Are going down in their prayers I'm enjoying the comforts of life With Salama and حباب One day Allah Taught him a lesson And taught both of them A lesson these two Do you know how they both died? Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan Died because of a disease Where if he drank water He dies Imagine If you drink water You die And Sulaiman Abdul Malik While in Salat al-Jum'a They were praying And he's sitting with his Friend Sulaiman Abdul Malik He brings some of the Pomegranates He's like to eat Eat more Enjoy She's eating the pomegranates He's eating She's eating One pomegranate Seed chokes in her throat It stops there It chokes and she dies Imagine Sulaiman Abdul Malik has the whole Empire on his hand A pomegranate Seed ends up killing him And when he sees this He falls on top of her Doesn't leave the house He ends up dying in this way Imam al-Baqar Knew there were خلافات like this So what did Imam al-Baqar do? Did he stand up? No Imam al-Baqar thought If these people are engaged In these things Let me sit down And spread the message Of Ahlul Bayt And their teachings Because the climate Imam al-Baqar Was living in Many new schools Of Islam were developing Imam Amir al-Mu'mineen Imam Al-Hasan Imam Al-Hussain Imam Zain Al-Abdin Were not able In their own respective times To spread the teachings Of Rasool Allah Because they were under much pressure Imam Al-Baqar is the man Who began the spread Of the teachings Of Rasool Allah In the school of Ahlul Bayt He used to sit In the mosque Of Rasool Allah And he used to spread The words of Rasool Allah To everybody Because people heard Jabir say This man is Al-Baqar He splits He scrutinizes He spreads knowledge You found many people Who would come and ask Imam Al-Baqar questions And that's why Do you know what the narration Say to us There were different schools In Islam Which were forming Lots of people Started claiming They heard this From Rasool Allah They heard that From Rasool Allah And you had Many schools emerging There was a school Called the Murji'a In the time Of Imam Al-Baqar Do you know what The Murji'a used to say You can't say A Khalifa is bad Because he's drinking alcohol Because you don't know What's in his heart What do you mean I don't know What's in his heart I see him drinking alcohol What else do I need to know The man sitting there Drinking alcohol He's drunk completely And you're telling me I don't know what's in his heart There was another school Which was the Khawaraj You know those Who fought Imam Amir Al-Mumineer At Nahrawan They were also Present at the time There was another school Called the Mu'tazila Who had debates About predestination And free will And the position Of the Muslim cinema And the Islamic state In other words What you had In that period of Islam Many people were confused I tell you Many were confused They didn't know What to follow You've got this school And that school And that school And this school So people all decided To go and study Under Imam Al-Baqar عليه السلام And that university In Medina That's why They say about Imam Al-Sadaq And Imam Al-Baqar They call them Al-Baqarain Sometimes people call them Al-Sadaqain Know it's Al-Baqarain Imam Al-Sadaq Says the greatest teacher I had in my life Was my father Muhammad Al-Baqar And on top of this You know what Imam Al-Sadaq Used to say I didn't just learn Islamic studies From my father We studied astronomy We studied cosmology We studied geography We studied philosophy We studied Greek mysticism And thought Imagine Imam Al-Baqar Did not just teach Islamic law Islamic theology Islamic ethics Imam Al-Baqar Wanted to show Muslims Every science Is worthy of learning In the religion of Islam You don't just have to learn Sik Or hadith Or Quran Go and learn every science And be learned on every area Imam Al-Baqar Be moved come to him If they had a Quran question They would ask him If they had a legal question They would ask him If they had a history question They would ask him If they had a question about hadith They would ask him If they had a question about Imam They would ask him Look at some examples A person came to him And said Oh Imam There is a person in the Quran We have asked so many scholars They don't know the answer to it Can you give us the answer You are Muhammad Al-Baqar You are the one whose title Is that you split knowledge in half Is that go ahead So chapter 21 verse 30 Have those disbelievers not seen How the heavens and the earth were closed And we opened them up In Arabic they were atqan They became sattik Surah 21 verse 30 What does this mean Imam Al-Baqar That the heavens and the earth were closed And we opened them Imam Al-Baqar replied When Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Sent Adam on the earth There was no vegetation Because there was no rain So Allah opened up the heavens So rain would come down And the fertile land Would have plants growing from it They would say thank you Another group would come Muammar Al-Leithi A famous scholar of the time Come to Imam Al-Baqar He saved him Oh Muhammad Al-Baqar We have a question about Islamic law He said go ahead Tell me what's your question He said do you The Imami's believe in The temporary marriage He said yes we do He says but don't you think Mu'ta'a is a type of zina To which Imam Al-Baqar Replied Rasool Allah Would not sanction a type of zina Because the Quran in chapter 4 verse 24 Clearly says The Quran says very clearly Surah 4 verse 24 Is the verse which proves Mu'ta'a That in the time of Rasool Allah There were companions Like Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari and others When they would go away from their homes And they would want to Look after themselves In terms of their desires They would say Ya Rasool Allah Are we allowed to engage In a temporary marriage To which Rasool Allah Would say yes So do you know what Mu'amar Al-Leithi Turn around to Imam Al-Baqar And said Would you allow your woman To do it Such questions Aren't befitting of a scholar Today even You find people When they debate the issue of Mu'ta'a They will come forward And say Would you allow your sister To do it Imam Al-Baqar First and foremost The law of Mu'ta'a Is that if your woman Are virgin Then you have to Seek the permission Of the father There is a jurisprudence To it You don't just allow Mu'ta'a for anyone There is a law behind it Then Imam Al-Baqar Number two What did he say He said to him Oh Mu'amar If a person who does knitting From Medina came And proposed for your daughter Would you allow your daughter To get married Mu'amar said No I wouldn't give her To someone who knits He said But isn't it Halal So he said yes He said therefore If it's Halal You don't necessarily Have to do it Likewise with us Mu'ta'a is Halal Does not mean Mu'ta'a is Wajib It's a difference Because Mu'ta'a is Halal Does not mean Everyone practices it You come and tell me Would your sister do it It's as if you're implying That it's Wajib On my sister to do it No It's optional Mu'amar left With his head down And walked away Then the third group Of people would come to Imam Al-Baqar They would be the history group They would come and say Oh Muhammad Ibn Ali We have a question None can answer Says what is it Says our question is Who was the first person To ever speak the Arabic language And Imam Al-Baqar Would look at them And say The first person To speak the Arabic language Was Prophet Ismail عليه السلام At the age of 10 Because Prophet Ismail Where was he brought up Where was Prophet Ismail Brought up Like Prophet Ismail Where was he born He was born Or he was raised in that area So he says The first Prophet To speak Arabic Was Prophet Ismail Then another group Imam Al-Baqar They say Oh Imam You know Shaytan is the enemy Of all the prophets Imam says yes So they said to him Did Shaytan ever have conversations With any of the prophets Imam would look at them And say yes So they said to him Who He would say Shaytan had a conversation With Prophet Nooh عليه السلام So they would turn around To him And they say So what was the conversation Between the two of them So Imam Al-Baqar Would say Shaytan would come to Prophet Nooh And say to him Oh Prophet Nooh You are the president Because you done me a great favor So Prophet Nooh Looked at Shaytan And said What do you mean He said Because you prayed to Allah To remove all those Who had oppressed the religion So Allah removed them So I didn't have any work In your generation So then Prophet Nooh Said So what's the president You're going to give me So Shaytan Looked at Prophet Nooh And said I'm going to give you Three pieces of advice He said What He said Remember me So then Prophet Nooh Said Where He said When number one When you are angry Know that I'm always Standing next to you Looking to make you More angry How many times When you get angry Do you feel There's a whisper Saying Go ahead And hit him Go ahead Number two When you're about to give charity Know that I'm always Whispering Don't give Number three When you are alone With the opposite gender Know that I am The third of the three You two are alone I will be there whispering Imam Al Baqar would give that Then another question People would come Imagine this school In Medina Imam Al Baqar Had thousands of students Under him Another person would come To Imam Al Baqar Say You imams claim You are You are infallible Said yes So what's the proof So Imam Al Baqar Said Why do human beings sin So the person looked at him And said I don't know You tell me He said Because of four reasons Either because of anger Or because of lust Or because of envy Or because of greed Why would we need to be greedy When Allah has given us The knowledge that he's given us And why would we be envious When we are the grandchildren Of Rasool Allah And why would we lust Over anything When Allah has honoured us With the Holy Quran And why would we get angry Over anything When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Has allowed the message Of Prophet to be in our lines Therefore A person normally commits a sin Because of lust Or anger Or envy Or because of what Or because of desire Allah has given us so much That those four Never affect us in our lives Therefore Would you find Imam Al Baqar He would disseminate knowledge And many of his students Emerge from his school People like Zorara And Hamran And people Of that Caliba جابر And Yazid Al-Juafi Would emerge Who would continue to Spread his words everywhere But do you think That the Khulafa Were affected One Khalifa Was affected in a good way Another Was affected in a bad way Do you know Which Umayyad Khalifa Was affected by Imam Al Baqar Omar Bin Abdul Aziz Omar Bin Abdul Aziz Omar Bin Abdul Aziz His father-in-law Is Abdul Malik Bin Marwan Omar Bin Abdul Aziz Is the great grandson Of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Up until the time of Imam Al Baqar Every salat A Friday To begin In the name of God The most beneficent The most merciful May God curse Ali ibn Abi Talib That's why I believe It's a myth this idea That Ali ibn Abi Talib Was the forthright Who guided Khalifa In that time That's impossible That came later How could he be the forthright Who guided Khalifa And Benny Umayyad Were in charge for eight years Every week on a Friday prayer Ali ibn Abi Talib was cursed Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Because of Imam Al Baqar's knowledge And because of the knowledge Of the people of the time Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Was Khalifa of Benny Umayyad But when he saw The knowledge of Imam Al Baqar And even Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Says my father Abdul Aziz Whenever he talk about Ali ibn Abi Talib He used to get nervous So I used to say to my father My father Whenever you talk about Any man you are Come except Ali ibn Abi Talib Why To which my father Would say to me If the people knew The merits of Ali ibn Abi Talib They would not have Us as leaders But Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Got affected by Imam Al Baqar And by a personal shooter Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Was the man Abu Benny Umayyad Khalifa He stopped the cursing Of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib Then this Omar ibn Abdul Aziz One day When he became Khalifa Said to Imam Al Baqar Omar ibn Ali You are the one Who Rasool Allah Sent his salams to I want to ask you a question What three pieces of advice Do you give me now That I become Khalifa Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Could have gone To anyone else But Baqar The man Who splits knowledge Is there anyone Better to learn About Rasool Allah Than him Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Last time Imam Al Baqar Gave him three pieces Of fantastic advice The first advice He said to him When you celebrate Or have an extravagant Celebration Do not forget Halal and Haram You may go To a lot of weddings In the summer A lot of weddings And they are called Islamic weddings The Nikah Is in the mosque That's where people like me Get invited But the notes So religious event I never get invited To for some reason No one ever sends me a card I don't know why Maybe because I am someone who I don't know Imam Al Baqar Told Omar ibn Abdul Aziz When you celebrate An occasion Don't forget Halal and Haram In our communities today Our Nikah Is religious Go to the reception And only God knows What's going on And you see Some people In those receptions You look at them And you're like You're a follower Of Muhammad Al Baqar You And then you ask them Why have you made it Like this They say because the community Will say it's boring Otherwise On the day of judgment Will the community Say it's boring Number one When you celebrate Don't forget Halal and Haram That's very important Number two When you become angry Don't forget Halal and Haram Sometimes we get angry But it's Haram to curse Sometimes we get angry We may even curse Allah Imam said When you get angry Don't forget Halal and Haram I'm not saying Don't get angry But do not forget Halal and Haram That he said Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Number three When you get Don't you serve The property of the people So they had a conversation He said Which property for example He said Fadak belonged to My grandmother Fatima And Bani Umayyah Took Fadak away From my grandmother Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Said Fadak belongs to Your family and I As Khalifa Will make sure It's given back to you Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Although we may Find him on certain aspects But his two Stand because of Imam al-Baqar Of returning Fadak And stopping the cursing Of Imam Hamid al-Mumineen Will never be forgotten That's one person But then you add The Khalifa after Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Or in the time of Omar ibn Abdul Aziz Hisham ibn Abdul Malik Who absolutely despised Imam al-Baqar He was envious of him How could this person Have more knowledge than me And I am Khalifa But he tried Every way possible To embarrass Imam al-Baqar عليه السلام Everywhere Do you know I tell you For about five years This Hisham ibn Abdul Malik For a few years Hisham ibn Abdul Malik You know what you would do He'd get the most Knowledgeable Christians The most knowledgeable atheists The most knowledgeable Muslims From outside the school Of Ahl al-Bayt To the bayt Imam al-Baqar One day Hisham ibn Abdul Malik Is sitting near the Ka'ba He had with him Nafea Nafea used to be the slave Of Omar ibn al-Khattab And he was of the khawarij Who fought Imam Ali They saw Imam al-Baqar Walk towards the Ka'ba And everyone opened up the space Nafea said Who's that Hisham ibn Abdul Malik Said he's the prophet Of the people of Iraq Nafea said What do you mean They called him al-Baqar Apparently he can split knowledge And answer questions No one can answer Nafea said Leave this guy to me Bring him Nafea calls me He says Baqar come here Come Imam al-Baqar comes Says I hear the people Say you're knowledgeable Imam al-Baqar says I am not of the ignorant What a line I am not of the ignorant Don't say I'm an alem Today everybody likes to be Called alem yes The amount of titles We've created is unbelievable So I'm not of the ignorant So Nafea said very well Answer my questions If you think you have any knowledge Imam al-Baqar said go ahead Nafea said What was the number of years Between Jesus and Muhammad Imam al-Baqar looked at him And he said In your

Thinking how does this guy My opinion on this issue Then he says to him Muhammad In Sura 43 verse 45 God says O Muhammad Or O Prophet of God Ask the Prophet Who came before you Did they tell the people To disbelieve Other than God At this moment He said to Muhammad How could Allah Tell the Prophet To ask those Who came before him That's impossible The Prophet Who came before him Have gone Imam al-Baqar Said no On the night of معراج Allah let his Prophet Lead all the Prophets in Namaz And when he finished his Salah He turned around And he said to them Did you ever tell your people To disbelieve in Allah And they said No, O Prophet of God We told them to believe in Allah And in your Prophethood Nafea said You're good Where's God Imam al-Baqar Said where's God You're Baqara

me If you agree Then you're a disbeliever Because fighting the Khalifa Of your time is kufr And If you disagree Then you're a disbeliever Because you were one of them Who fought So you're a disbeliever as well What of the two are you now Nafea ran away Said I'm never debating this man again That was one occasion Abdul Malik went crazy He said how did this happen Hasham went crazy He said how could none of you answer So Hasham went ahead with someone else He said come I beg you You're the top scholar debate Muhammad al-Baqar Finish him This man's getting too popular People say he is al-Baqar He's this old knowledge No one can answer him So this scholar said leave him to me I'll answer I'll ask him So he came to me He said to him I've got some questions for you You claim to be al-Baqar Answer my questions He said go ahead He said but you know my questions Are from Bible and Quran He said go ahead He said my first question is this And it's an important question Which fast in history Were you allowed to eat and drink Number two First he asked him this question Is that in which fast in history Were you allowed to eat and drink Imam al-Baqar said it's simple The fast of Bibi Maryam When Allah told her to remain silent That was her fasting So then he said to me I have a second question Tell me when was a quarter of humanity Killed In which occasion Imam al-Baqar said simple When Qabil killed Habil A quarter of humanity died Number three What increases and never decreases Imam al-Baqar said The water of the ocean He said to him what decreases And never increases He says your age Then he said to him Which statement was true But Allah said it was a lie Imam al-Baqar said The first verse in Surat al-Munaafiqoon The Munaafiqoon come to you And say you are the prophet of God But we know that they are liars The statement is true The testimony is true But the statement is a lie Then he said to him I'll ask you a question None can ever answer me Imam al-Baqar said what He said Which twins were born on the same day Died on the same day But one of them was 150 The other was 50 You need to be Baqar To answer this question true You need to be able To split knowledge in half He said to him it's easy Prophet Uzair And his brother Aziz Prophet Uzair And his brother were together Then he asked Allah How do you raise the dead And make them alive Allah caused them to die For 100 years Isn't it So they were both 30 But Allah caused one of them To die for 100 years When Prophet Uzair came back alive Because of Allah's permission He lived for 20 years That means the elder brother Was 150 And he was 50 years of age He said I swear there is no inheritor Of knowledge of Rasool Allah Like Muhammad al-Baqar Then there was a third person Who was a Christian هشام بن عبدالملك He was a Christian هشام بن عبدالملك Swaadbym Finish Muhammad al-Baqar off The Christian said I've got 3 questions To ask this man First Are you from the line of Jesus Or Muhammad He said I'm from the line of Muhammad He said Are you of the scholars Of the ignorant He said I'm not of the ignorant He said let me ask you My 3 questions He said go ahead He said to him Which period Is neither day or night He said just before sunrise The color of the sky لكن لن تنسى أي منها المجموعة. يبدو أنها مثل مجموعة في جنة. هذا المجموعة كنت مسلم في ذلك الوقت لأنه إمام الباقر. كل مجموعة من المعرفة! إمام الباقر يكبر. ولكن هناك سؤال مهم. إمام الباقر. هل هو فقط أصلام إسلام من خلال المعرفة؟ لا. إمام الباقر أيضا كان لديه. الكثير من الإسلام today. كل ما يفعله هو أن يتعجل المجموعة. وهي جميل. لكن إمام الباقر فقط يكبر. مثل ربما أمير المؤمنين. يكبر إسلام. يكبر المجموعة. يكبر القرآن. لكن كما يفعله. محمد بن مونكرا يقول أنه هو عميك المدينة. يعملني. لا يوجد من يوجد منطل. أرى أحد من في الملوان. أنا حسنًا. أنا حسنًا. أنا حسنًا. أعلم أمن يحسن هذا المن. أمن يحسن في العالم. في هذا الوقت. أحسنًا. أرى أني أرى أنها ربما رسول الله. الله محمد الباكر when I come to my say oh grandson of Rasool Allah you are chasing the dunya you are chasing the world what are you doing working in this heat he said to me and what is wrong with me working if I die in this state at least I am dying in a state of worship of الله سبحانه وتعالى for earning a living is a form of worshiping Allah and Allah does not like to see hands except the hands of a person who earns a living in حلال in their life on the day of judgment. Therefore Imam al-Baqir used to work Imam al-Baqir earns a living because he had five sons and two daughters from his wife on Farwa the daughter of Qasim the Salam Muhammad and from his other wife he had to earn a living for seven children and that's why you find that those could not take it anymore. Imam al-Baqir before he died in one area of Imam al-Baqir you must read is when he talks about what is the meaning of a follower of Imam al-Baqir there are many lectures of Imam al-Baqir about him talk about what are his Shi'a what is the meaning of following him in one حديث says our followers are three types one of them are those who follow us but rely and depend on others the second are like glass all they do is watch themselves as a reflection and nothing else the third of our Shi'a our followers are like gold the more they suffer the more they shine and another حديث Imam al-Baqir says our followers when Allah loves his servant he drowns him in the sea of suffering sometimes we have Shi'a followers Muslim followers in the world today who say why is Allah making me suffer why is Allah making me trouble Imam al-Baqir says our followers are like gold the more they suffer the more they shine they look at Allah's tests and they say الحمد لله رب العالمي and that's why when the umayyad خلفاء became jealous of Imam al-Baqir they began to spread the poison into the food of Imam al-Baqir and some even began to put a needle in his saddle so if he sat on the saddle the needle would go through the thigh of Imam al-Baqir عليه السلامه and Imam al-Baqir before he died his وصية is a beautiful وصية the first thing you said to Imam al-Sadaq spend the money that I've left behind to spread علم because education is the essence of the school of Islam number two bury me with my robe which I used to pray my Salah with because Salah will speak for me on the day of judgment number three make sure you organize Majalis at Mina every year in Hajj the Majalis not of just Imam al-Baqir but the Majalis of my grandfather Imam al-Hussein عليه السلام make sure you organize Majalis Imam al-Baqir 100 of his students graduated in reading Noha and Qasida and met them about Imam al-Hussein عليه السلام and that's why Imam al-Baqir has the famous hadith that whoever cries a tear the size of a wing of a fly for Imam al-Hussein that taken cure sings the size of the ocean therefore you found Imam al-Baqir in his life all areas of knowledge theology ethics Jewish prudence astronomy cosmology physics biology and especially as an icing on the cake and the most important knowledge was the knowledge of the Majalis of Imam al-Hussein عليه السلام and therefore you find tomorrow we will study the man who looked after the knowledge of Imam al-Baqir Imam al-Sadaq عليه السلام we pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى to allow us the زيارة of Imam al-Baqir in جنة البقية allow us to be amongst those who honor his knowledge and spread his knowledge in the way he spread his knowledge in his lifetime as well in our lifetime we pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى وتصورة الفاتحة but before it the loudest of your salawat
