 You know, there was a man during the time of the Prophet. So I want you to picture this. He's the companion of the Prophet, which means he probably prayed with the Prophet. He fought alongside the Prophet in the battlefields. He's on his deathbed. He's a young man. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi comes to his deathbed. What an honor, right? You're on your deathbed. You know, if you're in the hospital, you're excited if a regular scholar comes and visits you. Imagine, you're on your deathbed and the Rasulullah comes to see you. The Prophet sits beside him and he says to him, Qul la ilaha illallah. Say, there is no God but Allah. He's not able to speak. Fa ataqa la lisano. He's not able to speak. And the Prophet, being a spiritual physician, he knows why this is happening. He knows when someone can't speak because of a physical ailment. And he knows when someone can't speak because of a spiritual disease. Immediately, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi says to him, Qul la ilaha illallah. Does he have a mother? Subhanallah. The Prophet doesn't say, does he have a father? The Prophet could look at him and he could tell that this is what happens when someone mistreats their mother, specifically the mother. Talk about diagnosing the illness with precision. He says, is this young man a mother? Rasulullah hears a female voice behind him. She says, I'm his mother. She was in there in the same room. The Prophet asks her, are you angry with him? Are you upset with him? She says, yes, ya Rasulullah. She says, ma kallamtuhu mundu siti hijaj. I have not spoken to him in six years. You know, we're shocked, but believe me, there are people that get into arguments with their parents and they don't talk to them for 16 years, right? And you may think that sometimes I get into an argument with my mom or my dad and I just don't talk to them for a week. Yeah, that's, what if Malik Qulamal comes to you that week? Is that how you want to meet Allah? So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi, he tells the mother, forgive him, be pleased with him. Even the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi, he doesn't make dua from him. He knows, the Prophet knows that I can't even help you unless your mother forgives you. Imagine that. He says, forgive him. So this woman, she was very pious. She says, رضي الله عنه برضاك يا رسول الله. For your sake, ya Rasulullah, I'll forgive him. The Prophet then sits beside this man. You know, he's dying. He's gasping. He says to him, repeat after me. ياماً يقبلوا اليسير ويحفوا عن الكثير. O the one who accepts the little that we offer. Because brothers and sisters, anything we do in life, it's قليل. It's يسير. ياماً يقبلوا اليسير ويحفوا عن الكثير. O the one who accepts the small good deeds that we offer. He accepts it from us. And he pardons the كثير, the many sins that we commit. اقبل مني اليسير وعفوا عني الكثير. Accept the little that I offer you. O Allah, and forgive the many sins that I have committed. انك انت الغفور الرحيم. We have to be careful, brothers and sisters, because this young man, he was a companion of the Prophet. None of us were companions of the Prophet. This was a man who prayed with Rasulullah. None of us can say that we prayed Jama'a with a ma'asum. We can't say that. He fought alongside the Prophet in battle. But even Rasulullah was not able to help him until his mother forgave him.
