 Insha'Allah, I came for some benefit insha'Allah, so I wanted to insha'Allah Give it to the people insha'Allah now I Wanted to talk about some Mowaqif that the self encountered in poverty and hardship towards finding means to eat and Then some of them selling their clothes and their beds and their house properties in order to just Live their day-to-day life And but how these people were ulama and how they were scholars and people who are high and imam and Noah we Rahimah Allah But before I mention this I feel like Hathal Janib This point of being poor and poverty You add to O Sa'ul Janib of he had the hill Tariqa to feed all the land That this path in seeking knowledge Poverty plays a big role And I can't I can't I'll fuck Russia are all of them. I want the sorrow home on a lot of female mother in a Zama The scholars before poverty was their sign. They were known to be poor It was there. It was their behavior. It was their lifestyle. And that's how they became scholars Imam and now we in his kitab al-majmoor Imam and now he says in his great book full of benefits Babu chaptering Adabu mutalim the chapter of the one that's learning and then he brings Call of Imam al-Shafiqie Call of Shafiqie Rahimah Allah Imam Shafiqie said Laia tlubu ahadun haathal ilma bil mulki wa izin nafsi for yuflah No one seeks the knowledge this knowledge Bill mulki with Kingdom Wa izin nafsi and an honorable soul for yuflah, and then he becomes successful It's impossible that a person is a king and he's what he's an honorable person and then he becomes successful in seeking knowledge This is not right. It doesn't work like that. Well, I can put Man talabahu bidullin nafs, but if the person he seeks knowledge with humiliating himself and he's soul Wadiqil a'ayish and hardship in terms of his provision and his means Wa khidmatil ulama and serve in the scholars a'aflah He finds success And he also said la yudrakul ilmu illa bil sabri al-addulli That one will not seek will not one will not gain the success of knowledge Until he becomes patient with humiliation and he also said La yuslihu talabu l-ilmi illa limuflisin That Shafiqah, Rahimullah also said la yasuluhu Talabu l-ilmi la yasuluhu talabu l-ilmi illa limuflisin No one is For him knowledge except the person who's bankrupt Fakila wa l-ganiyul mukhafi even the rich one who has his sufficient lifestyle is not for him Wa l-ilganiyul mukhafi when Shafiqah was asked he said no this knowledge is for a person who's bankrupt. He has nothing Imam Malik Ibn Anas in said and I'm still reading the book. I'm a member wrote a majmu'a Imam Malik said Ibn Anas la yablugu a'ahadun min hadal ilmi ma yuridu hatta yudirra bihil fakru That one will not reach what he wants in this religion and in this knowledge He will not reach what he wants in this knowledge Until when Hatta yudirra bihil fakru until poverty harms him Where you asked him a la kulli shayt and it affects him in all his affairs That's what I'm a Malik Abu Hanifah Rahimullah said you sta'anu a la l-fiqti be jam'il hammi That it is used and supported with fiqt Be jam'il hammi with a person bringing his aspirations together Where you sta'anu a la hadfil a la iqi be hadfil yaseeli ind al hajah And the way to do that is that the person takes what is sufficient for him Nam Wala tazid and do not increase in it. So the person Richness and money it busies a student's mind whereas poverty doesn't This is what the ulama had took from it Imam with the hafid al-na hadhabi I have his book tathkirat al-hufad with me right now When he now he's mentioning the tarjama the biography of Nazr ibn Shumail Al-Maziniyu al-Basri Who is a basri? He was a alim and ahlu marru. He was the scholar of the people of marru And he was the student of Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidi Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidi was the sheikh of imam al-Sibawi Ahmad ibn Khalil al-Farahidi al-Lughawi He was the sheikh Of al-Imam al-Sibawi So Nazr ibn al-Shumail his tarjama his biography when the have he's mentioned his kitab He's kitab tathkirat al-Hufad He says Nazr ibn al-Shumail say That the person will not taste the sweetness of knowledge until he He feels poor. He feels hungry. Sorry and then he forgets his hungriness So how much he's seeking knowledge? He forgets that he's hungry. Allahu akbar Yaqut al-Hamawi He's mu'ajam al-Udaba I've got the 12th volume open for me 239 He mentions the tarjama the imam al-Hafid al-Faqih al-Mujtahid al-Mutafinnin He talks about the great muhadith The great faqih The great ussuali the great mufassir the great Mujtahid Ibn al-Hazam al-Wahili Ali ibn Ahmad al-Andalusiyy al-Qurtubi Imam al-Qurtubi al-Imam ibn al-Hazam He and Abu Walid al-Baji Abu Walid Sulaiman ibn al-Khalaf al-Baji Both of them met each other So ibn al-Hazam met Abu Walid al-Baji Wajarat beinuhma munadara The debate occurred between them two Falam manqadat qaal al-Faqih When the debate was over Abu Walid al-Baji stood up and he sat ibn al-Hazam Ta'azurni fa'in aksara mutalaati Excuse me For the majority of my researches Kana'ala suruj al-Khurasi It was under a dim lights candle It wasn't something good I was seeking knowledge With a dim candle Ibn al-Hazam then said Wa ta'azurni ayaban and excuse me Fa'in aksara mutalaati And the majority of my researching Kana'ala manakiri al-Zahabi wa al-Fidbah A'ala al-Masabih al-Masmu'at min al-Zahabi wa al-Fidbah Ibn al-Hazam then said Excuse me For the majority of research I did I did it from candles that were made out of Gold and silver The scholars they mentioned why Ibn al-Hazam Are asked for forgiveness And why he asked To be forgiven for what He had said Ibn al-Hazam who is the man who brought the story He says Ibn al-Hazam chose to say that because Richness And having money As you all know Ibn al-Hazam His father was a minister So he was from a very rich family Whereas Abu Walid al-Badri was poor So Yaqut al-Hamawi saying The reason why Ibn al-Hazam is asking for forgiveness Is because he seek knowledge through Richness And richness Distracts him from seeking knowledge Whereas Poverty and hunger Doesn't do that to you It doesn't Do that to you Because of that we find that people today They don't seek knowledge as those scholars used to Seek knowledge The reason is known Is because The majority they get distracted Shut things Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said As Imam Al-Hafz Ibn Kathir Mentioned in the Kitab Al-Bidai At the end of volume page 330 He says Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said Imam al-Mumbadjal Imam al-Sunnah Al-Jama'ab Al-Bilam al-Dafa'ab Said Patient on poverty Is a status No one gains it except a person it except a person who's who's great who's noble and poverty is more honorable than richness for in the suburb for in the suburb patience on poverty it's very it's very it doesn't taste nice it's hard and the means to ask Allah and thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is always closer and it's better Ahmad is saying i will not choose any alternative over poverty for for richness out of the world Ahmad used to love Ahmad used to love that the person takes it easy in the dunya because the accountability the day of judgment can be easy for you I went back to it to check what he has said maybe he said something like that as well And also Ibn Muqtah said something like that in his Kitab, Adab-ul-Sharia, that Imam Abu Bakr al-Maroudi, he said, I said, I cannot exchange anything for poverty. I am happy when I have nothing with me. He used to love the people who were poor. Imam ibn Muqtah said there was no one because they narrated the speech from Abu Bakr al-Maroudi. Abu Bakr al-Maroudi said that I never saw poor people who were honorable in a gathering, the way they were honorable in the gathering of Imam ibn Abu Bakr al-Maroudi. And this is why a person will gain knowledge. As the Sha'ir said, Anyone who is patient will gain knowledge. He is very patient for knowledge. He will gain every means to gain it. If a man wants to marry a beautiful attractive girl in which his heart is full or a girl wants to marry a guy who is very charming, she will do all means to get him the same way the man will put everything to the table. Whether she says her dowry is 50,000, he will put it to the table. Whether he will put everything in order to gain it together. In this way as also the Sha'ir is saying, the knowledge should be like that when a person loves it. Anyone who does not humiliate himself for seeking knowledge, he will live for a long time. A person who is humiliated will live for a long time. Allah gives us the means and the effort to seek knowledge the way he is pleased with. And that everything that we seek, Allah doesn't make it a hujjah against us, but rather Allah makes it a hujjah for us. Allah is the only one who is able to do that for us. I conclude this.
