 I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May Salat and Salam be upon the most honored prophets, messengers, and beloved of the hearts of the worlds, Abu Al-Qasim al-Mustafa Muhammad. Our dear viewers, welcome to another episode of the Master of Messengers. When it comes to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih, his words, his actions, his silence, and every stance that he takes must be studied because through his words, his actions, his silence comes Islamic laws and guidelines. Moreover, meaning that every single action, every single stance that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih takes through it comes Islamic law and a teaching of the religion of Islam. Also, that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih is infallible in every single act, in every single word, in every single stance that he took in his life and in his lifetime. And this said, it is expected from every single Muslim generation through generation to compile and to gather the hadiths and traditions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and to pass them on from generation to generation through books and scrolls. So Muslims from the lifetime of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih, those who used to live with him, told today, we can acquire the laws and the guidelines of this religion, the religion of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the religion of Islam. As it came to us in the hadith and tradition that the angel of Allah, Jibrail alayhi sallam would descend upon Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and he would teach him, he would teach him the traditions and the sunnah, the sunnah, the sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih as he would teach him the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and he would teach him the Holy Quran and the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Jibrail would descend upon Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and he would teach him every single tradition, every single sunnah. Thus it is required from every single Muslim to gather the traditions and the history of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and to pass them on from generation to generation. The admonishment of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih through abundant amounts of hadith, through various sources that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih would tell the Muslims to write every single word that came from the mouth of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and to register every single word and hadith and stance and occasion that they would witness Rasulullah or witness from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih upon scrolls and into books and to save them and to share them with one another and these hadiths and traditions and sources will be listed below brothers and sisters translated from Arabic to English and for those who would like to read these hadiths for Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih that he would tell the Muslims to save hadiths and to compile hadiths and traditions into books and scrolls you could follow the sources below that we will share with you in every single episode the companions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih the Sahaba wrote the hadiths of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih his tradition, his life those other than the Sahaba meaning the Sahaba those who lived with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih on daily basis who accompanied him from morning prayers to Dhohran'as prayers to Maghrib prayers when he would sit in the Masjid of Rasulullah when he would sit in the Masjid and sit with the Muslims the Sahaba who would sit around him and learn from him and those who were not Sahaba for example those who would come from adjacent cities from cities around the city of Medina especially in the first decade of Hijra the first ten years of the Hijra of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih a great abundant amounts of hadiths were written by companions Sahaba of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and those who became Muslims but did not live in the city of Medina but they would come to the city of Medina and they would take the scrolls and the books of the Sahaba and they would also write them into their own books and to their scrolls and then they would go back to their homes and to their cities and they would share it with the Muslims who lived in their cities and in their hometowns the Sahaba of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih would advise each other and encourage each other to write down the hadiths of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih so for example on a Friday afternoon the Prophet gave a sermon and several amounts of Muslims or Sahaba and companions sat down through the sermon and wrote down the hadiths and the sermon of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and his teachings on Saturday those who were not present in the sermon of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih would bring their books and they would also register the hadiths and the sermon of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih through the scrolls and the hadiths and the books of the companions who attended the Friday sermon and as we mentioned people would travel from all around the Arabian Peninsula all that area the Muslims took over who entered Islam became Muslims almost half of the planet became Muslims and under the ruling of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih after they witnessed his teachings after they heard the words of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and from those companions who wrote the hadiths of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih Abu Bakr in some sources it is mentioned that he wrote an approximate amount of 500 hadiths from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih he wrote and saved and scrolls and books from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih the hadiths and the words and his traditions that he witnessed in his lifetime living with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and the book Tafkiratul Haafiz the author Shamsuddin bin Ahmed bin Uthman volume 2 he mentions that Abu Bakr wrote almost 500 hadiths and traditions from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih but as soon as the prophet departed from this world Abu Bakr erased every single hadith and destroyed all the scrolls don't ask me brothers and sisters ask the author of this book why this occurred we have to go in depth into history and inshallah we will in this show yes we mentioned that thousands and thousands and hadiths and traditions were written by the companions but were they saved what happened to the traditions and hadiths of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih as for Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi afwal as-salatu was-salam he would never leave the side of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih not for a second from early morning throughout the day throughout the nights Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi afwal as-salatu was-salam from the moment of birth as soon as he opened his eyes he opened his eyes and the eyes of his beloved cousin and his messenger and his prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alih he was raised under the supervision of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih in his home Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih would rock his cradle as a child he would feed him he would nurture him until he grew up into a teen into a man until he married him off to his daughter Ameer al-Mu'mineen never left the side of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih except the day of the battle of Tabuk so Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi afwal as-salatu was-salam his main concern was to gather the hadiths of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih to save them into scrolls and books even one day he was asked by one of the companions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih how come out of all the companions you have the most books you gather the most hadiths Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi afwal as-salatu was-salam responds he responds or he responded to this man in every time that I would ask Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih he would respond he would give me the answer to my questions and when I was quiet and sitting next to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih Rasulullah would start by telling me oh Ali have your paper and pencil ready and start writing he would start to teach me and I would write everything that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih would tell me thus we never had time to waste Rasulullah either I would ask him or he would start off by teaching me and I would write every single word that came from the mouth of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and same thing with his sons and his lineage and same thing with his Shi'a the Shi'a of Ali ibn Abi Talib they continued on this tradition of their master into saving hadiths and the history of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih generation after generation and from the most famous of quotes or hadiths from Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam qayyidu al-alma bil-kitabah you should reserve your knowledge into placing them into books compile them into scrolls and into books so they are not lost and they are passed on from generation to generation there is something to observe and notice brothers and sisters and our dear viewers when it comes to Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam all schools of thought throughout the Muslims have brought this hadith and tradition from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih that I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gates for a person who wants the knowledge he should come knocking at the doors and the gates of the city of knowledge but there is something to notice that why when it comes to Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if we leave the books of 12 Muslims or the Ja'fari school of thought we will find a very small amount of hadiths from Ameer al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib and we will find huge and enormous amounts of hadiths and traditions from those who lived with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih merely days or months in a way that there is no comparison you'd say it was the opposite that this man lived with the Prophet from the moment of his birth to the time of the departure of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih and Ali ibn Abi Talib only witnessed Rasulullah for days or months when it comes to Ameer al-Mu'mineen alayhi wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and we enter the books of other schools of thought we find 158 hadiths approximately that come from Ameer al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib 148 hadiths from Abu Bakr but over 5000 hadiths from Abu Huraira who lived only several days or several months with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih 5374 hadiths to be exact so how did this occur brothers and sisters if our own history registers that no man carried more hadiths and books that had saved the words and the history of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alih more than Ameer al-Mu'mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib how come today there is only 158 and if we say that Abu Bakr did not destroy or erase the 500 hadiths that he had recorded from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi how come we only find 148 hadiths today but we find 5374 hadiths from Abu Huraira so our dear viewers this is something to notice and observe and of course as for the teachings of Rasulullah he advised us and he advised every single Muslim to seek knowledge and to write and to pass on the teachings of Rasulullah his sunnah, his teachings, his history, his words his actions from generation to generation but of course there was also an opposition meaning that from one side Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi would tell the Muslims to compile hadith to save the hadiths of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and the other side the opposition would tell the Muslims and those who wrote the hadiths of Rasulullah to stop and refrain from writing and saving the traditions the tradition of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and their excuse was that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi is a normal human being so he becomes angry and he has emotions so his emotions might take over him his anger might take over him and not everything that he says can be justified or comes from Allah SWT and if we want to point fingers and if we want to say who was the opposition this opposition started through Quraish Quraish and those who were connected with Quraish those who lived with Quraish those who roamed around Quraish those who lived with Quraish were the opposition they would tell the Muslims and those who would write the traditions and hadiths of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi that this man his words they cannot all be trusted because he becomes angry and he has emotions and from those who opposed if we trace back to the sources and the history we will see that in the book of Ahmad ibn Hanbal volume 2 pages 162 and 192 the hadith states that one of the companions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi by the name of Abdullah ibn Amr he states that I would write everything absolutely every single word that came out of the mouth of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi every tradition every hadith every teaching everything that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi used to do I used to write it down and save it in my books and scrolls but the opposition Quraish they summoned me and they told me you should stop writing these traditions and hadiths because Muhammad also becomes angry also speaks out of his emotions so Abdullah ibn Amr says I stayed silent after I heard the words of Quraish and I went directly to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and I told him Rasulullah all the messenger of Allah all the master of messengers the Quraish these are their words but I stayed silent I did not respond Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi turns to Abdullah ibn Amr and he says I swear by the one that my life is in his hands that everything that comes out of my mouth comes directly from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala I speak nothing from my own I swear by the one that my life is in his hands that everything that I speak or do comes from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala but as we mentioned there was an opposition against Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and his teachings Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi our beloved prophet would tell the Muslims to gather hadiths and his opposition would tell the Muslims to stop and refrain from gathering hadiths of course this opposition happened in two stages stage one was during the life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi as we witness in the book of Ahmad ibn Hanbal in this hadith by Abdullah ibn Amr and the second opposition started after the departure of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi as soon as our prophet left and departed this world another opposition started an opposition with its own agenda an opposition that actually did root from Quraish and had ties with Quraish as we mentioned that never left its ties with Quraish those who never left their belief in polytheism never stopped worshipping idols and even if they entered Islam they entered Islam not out of acceptance to the religion of Allah and his messenger but they entered Islam to protect themselves and to hold up this opposition and to hold up this agenda to destroy Islam within this episode has come to an end we wish that you continue this journey with us on this show the master of messengers and we hope to see you again As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
