 The mysteries of Islam fascinate us time and time again This is no different from the life story of the Prophet Who was Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam and Illiterate doesn't merchant who want they stumbled upon amazing Arabic rhetoric or was he the creation of Allah's greatest light sent down to earth to pull man out of ignorance and bring them to the purest of truths I I Ali Burji I'm on a journey to discover the real story behind the Prophet The real story behind our religion the roots the beginning the cradle of civilization Allah was Allah Muhammadin wa Ali Muhammad bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim I'd like to acquire some information regarding those three days in the cave or at least some information what happened So why they just sitting there waiting? How would they know to leave? Why did they leave on the third day not on the first day? Yes, I would be learning a shaytan regime. Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Alhamdulillah, you're a rebel alameen Was salatu was salamu ala sayyidina Muhammad al-waliha. It's a you've been a tahrir al-maasameen Well, I'm not a lady. I'm a man. Oh, of course. This is all instruction from Allah. Subhanata Allah. Oh, of course it The the most significant thing that happened was that an ayah was revealed about Their stay in the cave. Yes, and the ayah states that That when Allah Subhanata Allah the kufar the disbelievers had have Forced him to leave forced him that's in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi because Abu Bakr wasn't forced to leave If I may I can sort of read the verses Yes, they The ayah that was revealed Depicting if you like what happened in the cave and the states of the people the two people is Ella, Tansuru who faqad nasarahu Allah. You didn't give him support But Allah gave him the prophet speaking to Quraish. You did not give him support Yes, in that thing to Quraish feel like we go back to Earlier part of the verse but I'm not in order to save time I'm not reading the area part of the That you didn't support him him me being the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi faqad nasarahu Allah Hope Allah supported him Allah gave him victory If I heard jahul Latina cover That those who disbelieved forced the Prophet out of Mecca if you like So as I said again it the the the pronoun is by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi Because abu bakr wasn't forced tanya it's name is homa fill ghara. So these two They were in the cave While they were in the car He tells his companion If you call it a sahibi he la t'hazan Do not grieve because he was very scared This companion this abu bakr. He was very scared and He was grieving and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi says do not grieve In a lot of money Allah is with us Now here comes a crunch for Anzal Allah who said he not a whole alayhi Okay, now a question the question a question. I love revealed or descended his second upon him him being the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi because they the All along Allah is talking about illa tansuru who don't you support him, which is the Prophet Faqad nasarahu Allah Allah gave him the Victory which is the Prophet it a khrajah aladina kufrutani it's me while the disbelievers Forced him out forced him being being the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi Fa Anzal Allah who said he not a whole alayhi Allah descended his second upon him And the point is he didn't this then they didn't say Fanzal Allah sakinah to Ali hima on both of them Allah only descended the skin on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and not the not abu bakr and Whereas in other verses of the Quran States that Allah was a lot who said he not a whole alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi Allah descends descends his sakinah his tranquility upon his messenger and upon the Mu'mineen but and not in here Okay What does that mean? Yeah, I just wanted to recollect the information The thing is we are aware that The Sunni school of thoughts use this ayahs and this incident to collect Virtues for this personality abu bakr now from what we are discussing right now we see that Certain things indicate to a different direction For example, why would he be sad in the first place? What would it be why would for example abu bakr while in the cave with the holy prophets? Allah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi be in a form of distress and sadness and sorrow Okay, because let's be frank about it. Yeah my logic dictates that if you're Putting someone to be amongst the best of the best because let's let's be frank abu bakr is placed second After the holy prophet some some some scholars even go as far as say that they're equal That they're equal. Okay, so if we put him second man after the holy prophet Wouldn't you expect something more than someone special like the second man? So if you're the second best that means your reactions you would anticipate from these personalities to have a certain eloquence and certain Attitude I Have seen no way or heard of nothing regarding a middlemen in aley salam acting or being mentioned in such a way This should make me think That there is a difference Now, why would he be sad and him being sad? I question myself and I want you to clarify for me. It mentions the ayah that the holy prophet tells instructs Abu Bakr not to be sad now if being sad would be some sort of a virtue that it was good for that Pacific a specific time to be sad the holy prophet would not tell him do not be sad, but Instructing him not to be that indicates that there is a vice there that there is there is a mistake There is a problem and Again later the ayah mentioning that Allah's power to Allah Yeah sends his Tranquility if you might say upon the holy prophet does not mention both and then you mentioned in other ayahs Allah's power to Allah mentioned that he senses for quality a on the holy prophet and the mu'minine Which he doesn't mention here which indicates something that the whole Allah's power is trying to tell us something Even after the years whatever hadith come from either side Allah's power is trying to tell us something here Now What is he trying to tell us? That does this is very crucial because we're coming into a point in history of the holy prophet Which we can indicate certain things which will affect the future later on why would the Allah's part a la Mention this it's very important. That means there's something that needs to be exposed here, which is crucial Now what is it is being intended? We have to say it straight as it is it is being exposed that Abu Bakr May not have been the person we think or is it we are being taught that he is now we want to be objective and I want you to Point out according to your research I Am aware I've heard from Sunni scholars that a lot of virtues are taken that also for example in daya He's mentioned as a Hebrew who Yeah, now what what we understand from the word sahib is a companion and obviously a lot from Ahlul Sunnah sahib may go beyond companion best friend a family Like an unbreakable bond But here there is a contradiction Because you would expect something more so why Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioning sahib I want to understand Is this what sahib pointing a virtue towards Abu Bakr? Does it mean they're saying that Allah's recognizing Abu Bakr as a friend of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Or does Sahib have another meaning to it that is it's common I did hear about this topic. I did hear about another scholar. Shea scholar The there are mentions in the holy Quran regarding this word sahib that it does not necessarily mean friend Oh, it does not indicate that it's referring to a mu'min For example, it mentioned about Nabi Yusuf alaihi salam when he was in the prison There's this ayah in the holy Quran that he was in the prison with Mushriq's non-believers And he would talk to them about Allah SWT but in the Quran Allah SWT mentions that Yusuf was speaking to the Sahab This indicates that as have would not necessarily be an attribute meaning that whoever's mentioned as a hub is a best friend Correct. Yeah, okay so From here that we put big question marks that anyone who's listening Can take it and investigate further inshallah, okay, so here is there anything else you would like to Tell me anything else you would like to expose or contribute regarding the incident of the cave as You mentioned as you rightly mentioned that sahib doesn't Signify anything other than the fact that he was a companion. He was accompanying him and you mentioned in the case of a Prophet Yusuf Allah Nabi Nawa Ali alaihi salam that the this ashab that he had Impresened with him and he was talking To them and when they asked him about the dream that they had any He responded to them Allah SWT refers to them as a Sahab of Prophet Yusuf alaihi salam Whereas Prophet Yusuf if you like was Muslim and And those as have work for they still at that at that time they went Muslims and Still they were Referred to as a Sahab and of course we have another eye in the Quran in surat al-kaaf What? You how were who? Waqa al-sahabi wa-waihawro. So he said to his companion while he was talking and of course this companion was a kafir and the speaker was a Muslim the speaker believed in Allah SWT and The address he was a kafir that the one who was being called sahib in the Quran is Someone who is a kafir non-believer So yes sahib doesn't mean anything other than A companion is someone who is accompanying someone else nothing more than that He could be of a completely different religion. He could be of no religion. He could be good or bad person You know, it doesn't mean anything other than doesn't signify anything other than the fact that he's accompanying another person so That doesn't mean anything that doesn't signify anything it doesn't carry any weight Yeah, and of course they try to people say that You were his his companion in the cave and so on but that doesn't mean anything That really doesn't mean anything and as you mentioned that This eye Allah SWT is Trying to expose him that Allah descends the Sakina upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and doesn't descend upon His the companion who is said to be over through our journey whereas whereas in other verses In other verses Allah SWT Allah sakinatahu alayhi ala Rasulihi wa ala al-mu'mineen Some say oh it Of course, this is completely wrong and it doesn't go along with the with the verse with a Quranic verse. They say this was revealed upon Now the Prophet upon Abu Bakr and because the Prophet doesn't need didn't need the Sakina at that time Whereas we say as I said later on Later on we have this eye revealed. What is Allah sakinatahu ala Rasulihi wa ala al-mu'mineen. So Is the contradiction. Yes, it's a contradiction and then if you if you read the other the rest of the Ia wa ayyadahu fa'anzal allahu sakinatahu alayhi wa ayyadahu bejunudil lam tarawha Allah endorsed and supported the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi with Soldiers that you don't see melaika that is angels with soldiers that you don't see So are they claiming if the Sakina was descended on the on Abu Bakr that he was supported by Soldiers or troops That were invisible. Yeah, of course no one claims such a thing so yes, this claim that it was revealed on Abu Bakr really doesn't stand any chance and The only thing that says Allah that Sakina was as you can see from siyaq al aya. It was revealed on the the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and the fact that it wasn't revealed on Abu Bakr. It means that He doesn't have the Imam so that he qualifies for Sakina to descend upon him because we have in the Quran another place that Allah says the sakina on the Mu'mineen li yasdadu imana. So when ma alima ma fi qulubi him La qadrata yallahu an laddini bayu'unaka. So when ma alima ma fi qulubi him. When Allah It was clear. What is in the hearts in terms of iman and in the heart of the Mu'mineen? fa anzalallahu sakina tahu li yasdadu alayhim li yasdadu imana So that it this sakina enhances and Increases the iman which they already have in their house increases the iman The fact that in here it doesn't descend on Abu Bakr the fact that it shows that he didn't have iman so that he qualifies for receiving the sakina Like all other mu'mineen. Now again, this is this is for some people can be shocking But obviously at the end of the day we need to all Listen to these arguments with a clear mind Well, listen to this we have to investigate as well Yeah, it takes a lot of independent research and investigation and questioning and also with Allah's Blessing, which is Yeah, it should be done with unbiased exactly state of mind and basically this is the The Quran which is saying this and And of course there are many other verses which reveal a lot of Issues which people are if you're like unaware of because It hasn't been explained and the tafsir that Yeah, as you said it has not been explained correctly because that's the problem we have these days And I was context as well and you know makes his own tafsir He can give his own explanation. For example in surah al-juma when it says What are you doing while you're delivering while you're praying or delivering? Salat al-juma Where they're out gelatin over and when they saw you know Caravan of trade and so on arrived. They leave the problem abandon the Prophet And for salat al-juma they abandon the Prophet and they go after the Business and the trades that they wanted to pursue This is what the time when they were all if you like Muslims believers and so on they are praying they're praying behind the Prophet but they abandon him. This is in the Quran so there are many issues like this which are We should be taken Carefully should be thought about carefully and so be noticed. Unfortunately, they haven't been clarified And so to the extent that people don't notice them they read them, but they don't reside and recognize What's happening? It indicates that the the mu'mineen or the Muslim or whatever at that time at the time of the Prophet While the Prophet was saying the prayers they abandoned him to a cook a qa'ima they abandoned him and went after the their trades What happened according to some narrations that? The first one who came forward to to hit the Prophet thinking that he was a prophet was had been worried and Amir money, alaihi salam grabbed him by his arm and twisted his arm and Firmly holding or rasping his hand so that he can make his sword He make him to let go of his sword and and he took his sword and he threatened him so that really demoralized the warriors of Quraysh Allah
