 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْعَانِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ اَيَاتُوْهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُوْ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُوْهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُوْ أول I start with is Al-Ikhlaas, sincerity. How they were sincere people, Salafun Al-Saleh, Arab Highest, predecessors. محمد ابن الحنفية, who is the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, when he was named after his mother, Al-Hanafiyah, Ali, رضي الله عنه, married after Fatima, and he had this son, Muhammad. محمد, he said about sincerity, كل ما لا يُبتغى به وجه الله يضم حلو. Everything which Allah سبحانه وتعالى's face is not seeked from a thought. The person is not looking to gain the face of Allah, يضم حلو will perish. I'll come to an end. If you haven't done this for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and it was it for Allah's sake, it will come to an end. محمد ابن واسعنه, he said, لقد أدرقت رجالاً يكون رأس أحدهم مع رأس مرأتي على وسادة واحدة. قد بل ما تحتخده من دموعه لا تشعل بهم رأته. محمد ابن واسعنه, he said, I met, I came to contact. I met a people. These people, they were يكون رأس أحدين مع رأس مرأته. His head would be on the same pillow as his wife. مت سيعام بضر or on the same bed. Both of the Mon걸s the same duvet. They sleep together. This man is sleeping with his wife قد بل لا ما تحتخده من دموعه, the tears coming out from his eyes. Why else he is sleeping on a pillow is excessive. لا تشعر بهم رأته. And his wife is not aware of it. He hides it from his own wife. We sleep right next to him. لن يريد انها تعرفه لن يريد ان يكون احد يتأكد في مكتبه لا يريد انها تعرفه فاَتِزُرَكَمْنَارَهُ بِسَيْئَاَسِ لا يريد ان يكون تخطأ للمطلع وَلَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ إِجَانَاً I met a group of people يقوموا أحدهم في الصفه I saw a group of people I met a group of people محمد العبادة والبكاتف They are in the lion in the salah praying فَاَسِيلُ دُمُعُهُ The tears will be gushing from his eyes he will be crying على خده و لا يشعر به اللذي إله جبه الشخص next to him will not know that this man is crying هل أنت صلاة؟ He is crying The tears will be rolling out The tears will be rolling from his eyes And the person next to him will not know يعني they hold themselves so much That they don't want anyone to know They want this to be between them and Allah Because from the seven Allah is going to give the shade to the day of judgment is و رجل ذكر الله خالياً The man who remembers Allah Privately No one is around ففابث عيناه And his eyes just watered So that's what they want to be Even if they're with the people They want to make it as though these people will not be seeing them عبد الواحد عبد الواحد ابن زيد He said الإجابة مقرونة بالإخلاص لا فرقة بينهما He said الإجابة مقرونة بالإجابة مقرونة It is connected It's bonded with سنسيرتي And there is no way you can separate the two If you really want Allah to accept your dua And if you want the acceptance to come quick سنسيرتي He said لا فرقة بينهما There is no way you can disconnect one from the other There is no way that you can separate one from the other سنسيرتي And the acceptance of the dua Are one and the other أبو تياح يزيد من الحميد He said لقد كان الرجل يقرع 20 سنة ما يعلم به جيرانه أمان 20 سنة They'll be praying They'll be reciting His neighbor wouldn't know His wife wouldn't know His actual neighbors wouldn't know يعني he'll stand up قيامه الليل And keep in mind the Salaf Al-Saleh A lot of them their houses Or a large number of them their houses Were not Like our houses where you somebody would be doing something in the house And the other person wouldn't know The houses were very Fragile So the neighbor could hear what you're doing It could be seen it could be heard In some of their houses They would hide from their neighbors They would hide it from their wives Who live in the same house with them All of them they would hide They would hide from it from them They would not make They would not allow them to know what they are up to And what they're doing If I give you an example It's how we are when it comes to sins How we hide our sins We keep it private We don't want anyone to know what we're up to That's the way that they used to hide their righteous deeds Now you see the difference Now you can understand Where they are And where we are سفيان الثوريو رحمه الله He said كانوا يتعلمون النية كما يتعلمون العلم سفيان الثوريو he said They used to The salaf The pious predecessors They used to learn Sincerity The way that they would learn knowledge They would actually study it They would learn it They would train themselves They will always be on top of their hearts And their sincerity When they're doing something Why are they doing it? Who are they doing it for? They will always ask themselves this question As they would learn knowledge Because إِنَّ مَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالْنِيَاتِ وَإِنَّ مَا لُكُلِّمْ رِهِمْ مَا نَوَهِ Every action is based on sincerity Who did you do this for? If you look at this world today People are bringing to the public Or they bring out on social media Everything that they're doing I want us to all Think over this point that I'm going to mention Insha'Allah Deeply The salaf are hiding good things that they are doing They don't want anyone to know it We on the other hand Are pretending We're actually not doing it We're lying And we're showing that to the people We give false impression We give false information to the people In things that we're not doing So we go to the Ka'aba and tell somebody Make, record me And you weren't even doing the dua Or we would Tell a person I'm going to sit here Open a book Just take a video of me And then after the video or the recording He closes it and he walks away from it To give the impression that I am a person Who is close to Allah A person who is this and that You give that impression False impression Whereas they رحمه الله جميعا عن ميال الله Be pleased with them They were hiding their good deeds That they did do ولي ذلك They were said that بعضوا السلف They would give sadaqa to someone And they would give sadaqa to someone And they would look around To see if anyone is there And they would cover their mouth So no one sees them I'm going to mention that Insha'Allah Insha'Allah Soon Now Insha'Allah I want to speak about the second بإذن الله الكريم عبادة And the salaf Used to come And they used to preserve And they were consistent upon it And that is صلاح How they were in terms of their صلاح And they're praying سعيد من المسيب Was said that he remained أربعين سنة 40 years 40 years سعيد المسيب ما أدن المؤدن إلا وهو في المسجد That the muaddin Never done أدن Except he was in the masjid 40 years سعيد المسيب سين It was said about him 40 years There was no adhan done Except that he was inside the masjid And it's not the iqama It's not the kbeerah of the halam يعني إذا أدن The adhan was not made for 40 years Any salat Except that the sa'id المسيب was in the masjid عبد الله من الزبير رضي الله و تعالى عنه He was said about him إذا صفى للصلاة عبد الله من الزبير If he went into the line of the prayer يعني he prayed كأنه رود من الخشور It was said that he was like a branch In the khushu' And how straight he was No movements, no taharruqat Nothing و لذلك It was mentioned from عبد الله من الزبير رضي الله و تعالى عنه He was well known for his salat Like he didn't know what used to happen in his prayer He didn't He was not aware of it When he went whenever he went into the salat He was still And he was straight Like he was a branch Like a tree that doesn't move He doesn't taharruqat He's reading his Qur'an And he's pondering over that It was said about him That حجاج بل يوسف One of the ways that he grabbed عبد الله من الزبير And killed him in the haram And hung him in the Ka'bah When حجاج Through the manjaniq To the haram Was that عبد الله من الزبير was praying And it was mentioned It was an ibadah And he was in Salah He didn't move from his prayer He didn't move The same thing was said about ألمام البقاري و رحمه الله ألمام البقاري was praying one day And as he was praying And he was praying And he was praying He finished the Salah And then he said to the people around him Can you check At the bottom of my garment Can you check Beneath my feet at the back Can you check for me ألمام البقاري و رحمه الله He said check My leg Beneath my From the back So they lifted his His Thor Or his clothing His garment When they checked He was bitten by a scorpion And it was still connected to him And then they said to him Why didn't you not leave the prayer Like what happened to you Is very severe Why did you not leave the prayer And he said I was in the middle of the Salah Reciting a surah that I couldn't disconnect I was in the middle of it I couldn't disconnect That's ألمامه ألمام البقاري ألمام البقاري And he said that every single chapter in the truth That he wrote Before he placed a hadith under that chapter All of the hadith in the truth Before he put it in his book He put it in his book When he was writing in the book When he was writing in the truth ألمام البقاري He put the hadith in there And put it in his book And he consulted Allah In every hadith he put it in there رحمه الله ورحمة الواسعة Then you ask yourself Why has this book become accepted by everybody These were the things he was doing He wasn't just scribbling a hadith inside a book There was a bigger thing to that There was a connection between him and الله عز وجل زين العابدين عريبن الحسين عريبن الحسين عريبن عبيض طالب The grand salam عريبن عبيض طالب It was said لا يترك صلاة الليل لا سفرا ولا حضرا عريبن الحسين It was said about him He would not leave the قيام الليل Whether he was traveling or he was a resident He never عريبن الحسين These are the children Of عريبن عبيض طالب He's from the offspring of عريبن عبيض طالب He's a little bit مع ذلك There's nothing that he believes that Oh, I'm saved Oh, I don't need to worry I'm from the From the family of the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام That my grandmother Is Fatima, the daughter of the Messenger of God I come from the Prophet None of that كان لا يترك He never used to leave صلاة الليل لا سفرا ولا حضرا ألمام البخاري رحمة الله Narrated in الصحيح لتعبد الله ابن عمر ابن الخطاب رضي الله تعالى عنهما Had a dream And in his dream he's so fire So the hellfire And he told that to his sister حافصة He told it to his sister حافصة And Hafصة was married to her The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم So Hafصة what did she do فذكرت who She mentioned the story لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم Hafصة went and she told the story To the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام So that from this the Prophet sensed When he was told the story He sensed from it That عبد الله ابن عمرق Does not pray قيام الليل And the Prophet then said نعم الرجل عبد الله عبد الله is an honorable man لو كان يقوم من الليل If only he prayed قيام الليل عبد الله عمر is a good guy A very good man If only he prayed قيام الليل سالم Who is the son of عبد الله من عمرق سالم is the son of عبد الله من عمرق He said فكان عبد الله لا ينام من الليل إلا إلا قليلا From that moment onwards عبد الله من عمرق Never used to sleep at night except little Because the Prophet said نعم الرجل عبد الله عبد الله is a great man If only he prayed قيام الليل And he wants to make sure That he follows the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام Statement So from that day onwards His son said My father never used to sleep at night Except very little Not only sleep very little الفضيل معياذ رحمه الله He said إذا لم تقدر على قيام الليل If you are not able to pray قيام الليل If you are struggling to pray قيام الليل وصيام النهار And you are struggling to fast day time فعلم No أنك محروم مكبل كبلتك خطيئةك If you are unable to pray قيام الليل And you are unable to fast Then no أنك محروم That Allah has prohibited you from this You are مكبل your chain كبلتك خطيئةك And the thing that has changed you is your sins That's why you can't pray قيام الليل That's why you can't fast at day time You are struggling to fast It's because your sins are holding you captive They are preventing you from all of that Now إن شاء الله I am going to go into the third point Of how the Salaf were in أبادة The third one is ما يتعلق بذكر That which is connected to their ذكر And their remembrance of Allah ميمول ابن سياح البصري يورحمه الله He said إذا أراد الله بعبده خيرا إذا الله تبارك وتعالى Once for his slave إذا أراد الله بعبده خيرا If Allah wants good for you حبب إليه بكو Allah will place the love of his remembrance in your heart It's a sign that Allah loves you If Allah is If you are a person who is always remembering Allah In every context you are going to bring Allah up You are going to discuss Allah It's a sign that Allah loves you You mean something to Allah سبحانه وتعالى He values you سبحانه وتعالى يعني الله سبحانه وتعالى Seeds you someone valuable Someone honorable Someone who is worth something Or else He strips this from you محمد ابن عريبن الحسيد He said إن الصواء إقاء تصيب المؤمنة وغير المؤمني ولا تصيب الذاكرة لله عز وجله The thunderbolts They affect and they harm And they are going to destroy The believer and the nonbeliever But the one who remembers Allah He doesn't The day of judgment The ones who remember Allah سبحانه وتعالى Allah will save them Allah سبحانه وتعالى will save them Because they were ones who remembered him يعني السلف رحمه الله They were excessive in their remembrance of Allah سبحانه وتعالى Some of them it was said that You will never see them Except that they were Praying Or They were teaching Or they were studying Or they were doing There was not a moment that would go by That they were not doing And their remembrance of Allah was excessive خطيب البغدادي was said about him He was never seen walking Without something in his hand يعني always was carrying a book Or something to read Always remembering Allah سبحانه وتعالى He was always studying his religion This now shows us how important My beloved brothers is To be a person who remembers Allah So a person Drives He's got a car He even goes public transport Metro, train, underground Or he's driven by someone else Or he takes taxi Doesn't matter You say to yourself When I get to that destination I'm going to try my best to say A hundred times daily This is daily of course But before I get to that destination Inshallah I'll try to say a hundred times له الملك له الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير If you don't say Before you get to the destination No problem You can still say after But you try to make sure That every time you are on a On a road You're striving You're driving You're talking to someone Between pauses You can do ذكر If you say له الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير A hundred times a day Your sins will be forgiven Even if it's as large As the ocean As the Prophet said Imagine that How many sins do we have It's a lot right Those sins can be forgiven for us If we just say these words The Prophet told us الله عليه وسلم كريمة تاني Two words تقيلة تاني في الميزاني They are heavy on the scale حبيبة تاني إلى الغرحمن They are beloved to Allah سبحانه وتعالى خفيفة تاني على اللساني They are right on the tongue سبحان الله وبرحمده سبحان الله العبن Three things Heavy on the scale Beloved to Allah Heavy on the scales Beloved to Allah And it's easy for you to say It's not hard What are they? سبحان الله وبرحمده سبحان الله العبن Just keep saying it It's not hard It's not a lot of energy That you have to exert My beloved brothers and sisters The people who remember Allah You tend to see That they stay away from backbiting Because it becomes an obstacle From blocking you This tongue brothers They said if they said This tongue If you don't busy it It will busy you If you don't busy it With something It will busy you with something You will be saying Things that are not necessary You will be doing things Which are not right So the tongue has to move Make it moving good Okay If you're not good At being quiet and silent No problem Talk But talk with what?
