 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ آيَاتُهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُهُ هذه المساعدة كانت جميلة عندما يأتي إلى إبادات ويقوموا ببعض الله سبحانه وتعالى ويقوموا بعمل كما كانوا يقومون إن شاء الله تعالى هذه المساعدة أريد أن أتحدث عنها كيف كانوا في مجال الصدقات والإحسان إلى المحتاجين كيف كانوا في مجال الصدقات ويقوموا بعملها يقوموا بعمل الناس who were in need of it كيف كانوا يحبونه إن شاء الله I'm going to give you a story of a powerful and great and noble companion when the ayah came down لن تنالوا البر حتى تنفقوا مما تحبون that you're not going to reach لن تنالوا البر you're not going to reach righteousness حتى تنفقوا until you give لا أُجل الله you give from your most dearest of wealth that's when you're going to reach البر piety and nobility and excellence when this ayah came down it affected a companion a noble companion his name is Abu Talha Abu Talha by the way my beloved brother and sisters he married the mother of Anas bin Umari Ummul Sulaym and Ummul Sulaym she conditioned Abu Talha Abu Talha was not a Muslim at that time he was a disbeliever he came to Ummul Sulaym and he said to Ummul Sulaym I want to get married to you she said to him you're not a Muslim and I'm a Muslim lady and she's held onto her identity and her religion so I'm a Muslim lady and she said you're a non Muslim but that said you're a great man Abu Talha you're not a man that could be forsaken a man who could be rejected but the problem here is you're not a Muslim Abu Talha said what does it take for me to be a Muslim she told him what she said but she took him to the Prophet and he took his Shahada and she said if you're Islam is my dowry and he took Islam Abu Talha was a noble companion the same companion Abu Talha he had in the city of Medina a garden that was known he was معروف everyone knew the garden of Abu Talha رضي الله تعالى عنه and he used to be called بيرحا بيرحا was the garden of Abu Talha it was معروف everyone knew it when the ayah came down لانتنال الدر حتى تنفقوا من ما تحبون you're not going to reach piety until you give that which you love Abu Talha he came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم وذكر له and he told the Prophet أن أحب أمواله إليه بيرحا he came to the Prophet and he said to the Prophet أمواله أمواله the most beloved thing to me is my garden بيرحا that's most beloved because the ayah said حتى تنفقوا من ما تحبون until you give out from your most beloved of wealth he said the thing that's most beloved to me أمواله أمواله is that garden إجعلها he said أمواله أمواله make it إجعلها يا رسول الله حيث أراك الله place that wealth in wherever Allah is شكسي to do it it's under your your instruction now it's I've passed it over to you it's yours أمواله أمواله أمواله do what you think fit of it فقال رسول الله if the Messenger ساتو أبو طلحا بخن بخن that's that's كمال رابح أو رائح أرى أن تقسمها في الأقربين فقسمها أبو طلحة في بني عميه the Prophet said بخن بخن that's كمال رابح this is a great successful trade أبو طلحة أرى the Prophet said this is my opinion I believe you should take this wealth and divide it amongst your relatives your family members أن تقسمها في الأقربين give it to your close relatives أبو طلحة went فقسمها أبو طلحة في بني عميه he divided the wealth amongst his relatives he the children of his uncles he gave it to them عبد الله رضي الله تعالى عنه he said something very powerful رضي الله تعالى عنه may Allah be pleased with عبد الله and may Allah be pleased with his father عبد المطلب عبد الله he said لا أن أعول أهل بيت من المسلمين شهرا أو جمعة أو ما شاء الله أحبوا إلي من حجة بعد حجة عبد الله he said whether هMinha Whoich is shahmide with here مسلي and support for one month or even one Friday or whatever Allah wills for me to take care of a Muslim whether it be a month whether it be a either و will be whateverallahi for me is more beloved to me من حجة after والإحسان إلى المحتاجين كيف كانوا عندما يأتي إلى التعاونة؟ وكيف كانوا عندما يأتي إلى أكسلنس أكسلنس أكسلنس ويأتيون مع الذين يأتيون عبد الله من عباس يقول لك ويقول لك ما أحبه أكثر ما أحبه أكثر هو أن أساعد من يأتيون ويقوم بعمل حجة ونضح حجة ونضح حجة ويأتيون مع ذلك حجة الإسلام حجة الإسلام is what it's the first obligatory حجة that everyone needs to do now insha'Allah I'm going to mention to you another a great Imam this is none other than علي بن الحسين علي بن الحسين as I told you he is who علي بن الحسين he entered on to محمد بن أسامة يبن وزيد محمد بن أسامة بن وزيد is the son of who he is the son of أسامة بن وزيد both of them are علي بن الحسين is a tabii and so is أسامة بن وزيد both of them are are two noble imams علي بن الحسين entered on to محمد بن أسامة بن وزيد he was sick and was on his deathbed فجعل محمد بن يبكين محمد was crying فقال علي بن الحسين علي بن الحسين said to him ما شأنك what is your phrase what is it what's up why are you crying for why are you weeping this much قاله سلع علي دين I have debt the sahabas and the tabii they used to see debt as something very heavy they used to preoccupy their mind to be very worried about it he cried because of that debt and he knows he's dying so he said to his brother علي بن الحسين he said to him علي دين there is debt on me how much he said upon me is what 10.000 دينار is 15.000 دينار is on me the dinar is gold by the way the dirham is silver he said a lot of money he said a lot of money 15.000 today is hundreds of thousands of dollars he said that debt's on my neck علي بن الحسين said هو عليه it's up on me I'll pay for it anything else don't worry about that money it's suited consider it done I'll pay for it هو عليه he said that wealth is upon me I'll pay for it for you this shows us what how they were when it came to الصدقة والإحسان إلى المحتاجين how this صدق was like and helping those in need علي بن الحسين something very powerful was mentioned about his life as well in terms of giving he was very well known for it يعيشون لا يدرون من أين كان معاشهم there are a group of people who lived in Medina they didn't know where their food used to come from فلما مات علي بن الحسين when علي بن الحسين died فقدوا ما كانوا يؤتون به منه من الليل whatever used to come to them at night stopped someone used to bring them food every single night they didn't know who it was used to give all these people used to take care of their food every single night when علي بن الحسين died they stopped that's when they found out it was him no one knew it was him يعني they were living on it for years decades they were living on it his money no one knew it was him علي بن الحسين he was concealing it and he was hiding it and it was found out when he died رضي الله رحمه الله و تعالى رحمة و سعه عوروة بن الزبير let's look at how he was when he came to Sadaqa عوروة بن الزبير عوروة بن الزبير is mother is who اسماء بالتأبيب أكر so his auntie is who عاقش رضي الله و تعالى عنها so عوروة بن الزبير used to enter on to Aisha and he is the brother of عبدالله بن الزبير that we took before عوروة بن الزبير it was said كان إذا أيام الروطب when there were the days of reap where people reap from their their harvests their crops and their seeds عبدالله بن الزبير عبدالله بن الزبير he used to do what ثالة محائطه he will open the gates of his garden فيدخلوا الناس and he will tell the people come in فيأكلون the people eat فيحملون they will take whatever they want and when they would enter he will repeat the ayah قوله تعالى ولولا إدخلت جنةك قلت ما شاء الله لقوة إلا بالله he will recite that ayah and repeat it as the people are coming in smiling happy allowing the people to come in the people will come in and they will take whatever they want and they will leave whatever they want and he wouldn't say to them what are you taking leave it that's not yours this is the act of these great imams they had the concept of الصدقة they gave و الحسان إلى المحتاجين giving to them was not a problem they used to really give and they believed that this was what Allah entrusted them with and Allah is looking at them how are they going to use it where are they going to spend it so they used to get closer to Allah by doing that and that's how they attained the station that they attained a lot of us Alhamdulillah we have food we have income we have even savings helping those who are in need giving them it doesn't have to be a lot sometimes it's just something very simple very small giving it to them can change their life and because of that Allah will increase for you what you already have صدقة does not reduce your wealth my beloved brothers and sisters it increases it the scholars they discussed صدقة doesn't reduce your wealth does it actually mean that the wealth doesn't become less or does it mean that whenever the wealth goes less Allah puts in your heart double of what that wealth was in your heart contentment because generally when people have a lot of money they become content and happy so I don't have to worry the ones who give that contentment is kept in their heart and it's multiplied but even if the wealth reduces they become happy and some scholars they say that's what is meant by it there are a lot of people who have wealth filled with banks and worked it's like they're poor they're about to die they wear their hearts and minds out they're scared, nervous ولداركة this comes from what because they're not giving their wealth and Allah says in the Quran about the righteous people that the righteous that's how they were they would give and they would say to the people we're not giving you so you can repay us back or even thank us or even show us gratitude we don't need that from you guys we're doing this to save ourselves from the Hellfire we're scared of Allah we're scared of the day of judgment we're scared of Hell تتجافا جروبوهم عن المضاجع يدعون ربهم خوفا وطمعا ومن ما رزقناهم ينفقون والتجافا جروبوهم their bodies are distanced from their beds يدعون ربهم خوفا وطمعا they call on to their Lord hoping from Him they call on to their Lord scared of Him الله mentions the ayah ومن ما رزقناهم ينفقون and they give from their wealth they give from their wealth so this is عبادة that the self انه يجب ان يأتي جداً معه now ان شاء الله تعالى سوف نذهب إلى الثلاث بإذن الله الكريم عبادة which the salaf used to do the fifth عبادة which salaf will do and this is إشرة الزوجة والإحسان إليها how they were towards their spouse نبارنا الإمام أحمد رحمه الله إمام أهل السنة والجماعة he said تزوجت أم صالح I married my wife أم صالح صالح was the the old elder of the two wives of الإمام أحمد الإمام أحمد was married to أم صالح she died and then after that he married أم عبدالله the wife that gave birth to عبدالله ابنه أحمد ابنه محمد ابنه حمبل but Abdullah he's older brother صالح and between them is a very big distance maybe over 10 years maybe even to over 20 years so إمام أحمد said I married أم صالح I married أم صالح فما كثت معي 30 سنة she remained with me for 30 years we were married for 30 years إلي محمد say this لم أختلف I never disputed with her she never disputed with me أنا وهي في كلمة واحدة not even in one word يعني 30 years إلي محمد say I married to أم صالح and we never disputed لا أردت أحد there was no disagreement between us two that's a jeeb anyone who's been married who knows marriage will understand that marriage is conflict disagreements people don't generally see eye to eye in everything the self they reached piety even in their own households that's what they reached and one of their the nobility in this in this regard when it came to إشرة to a zoujati و الإحسان إليها is that they used to blame themselves a lot was one of their their way of dealing with problems that were there and this is totally opposite to a way like they used to say that إذا عصيت الله if I disobey Allah رأي تؤثر ذلك I saw the effect of my disobedience in my riding beast in my wife in my children in my household I would see the effect on it and it would directly affect my family so they knew they understood that conflicts that happened between spouses generally comes from one or both parties going against و الله تبارك و تعالى كماند either one of two you're doing what you're not allowed to do or you're leaving off what you should be doing and so this shows us how they were when it came to their partners and their spouses رحمه الله جميعا may Allah be pleased with all of them so the sixth إن شاء الله و تعالى point regarding the إبادة of the regarding the إبادة of the سلف الصالح is ما يتعلق بالنزاة والورا how they were when it came to taking the safest in issues the سلف رحمه الله when there were two issues and some were saying it's حلال and some were saying it's حرام they would always take the path of abstaining from it and that's called that's called الورا that's referred to as ورا they were people who had ورا they left many doubtful issues avoided it abstained from it that's why some of the they said تركوا كثيرا من الحلال مخافة الحرام they left many things which were حلال because they were سكيلة الحرام the self this is called ورا so I'm going to give some examples I'm going to give one example سليماني بل عبد الملك who was the أمير المؤمنين came to the city of مدينة and سليماني بل عبد الملك he's a right-hand man and later going to be his successor is عمر بن عبد العزيز the great imam عمر بن عبد العزيز عمر بن عبد العزيز is not only going to be the successor of سليماني بل عبد الملك but he also is going to marry the sister of سليماني بل عبد الملك and the sister of سليماني بل عبد الملك is فاطمة بنتة عبد الملك عمر بن عبد العزيز and سليماني بن عبد الملك and both of them they come to مدينة جدا and at that time the أمارا the Muslim leaders when they come to a city or they come to a place they were the ones who led the خطب the جمع and they were the ones who led the جمع the congregation because they knew the Quran they were scholars they had an understanding of the religion that's how they used to be so سليماني بن عبد الملك قدم على المدينة he came to the city of مدينة فصل بالناس بالضغري he led the people in دور he opened the door of his palace فنظر إلى سفواني بن سليمان and he saw remember those leaders when they led the people as well there was like they couldn't be with the people because of fear and because of them being leaders they had a bit of a place where they were kept anyways what he did was he opened that and his eye caught a man by the name of سفواني بن عبد الملك and he saw the leaders when they led the people of سفواني بن سليمان when he saw سفواني بن سليمان and he doesn't know who he is so he said to عمر عبد العزيز من هذا الرجل who's that man ما رأيته سيمة الأحسنة منه I've never seen a person whose form is greater than him the way this man carries himself the way he's praying and everything let's call my attention who is this guy عمر عبد العزيز said to him this is سفواني بن سليمان that's who he is يا مير المؤمنين هذا سفواني بن سليمان this is سفواني بن سليمان سلمانة من عبد الملك said okay he called one of his slave boys and he said come here he came and he gave him a bag in it was خمس مائة دينار 500 دينار 500 دينار brothers is gold is gold okay the gold dinar that is 100 100.000 of dollars today 100.000 of pounds as well he gave that money to the slave boy and he said take it to ادفعها الى ذلك الرجل القائم يصلي give it to that man over there who's praying وخرج الغلام with the boy went with the keys the Porsche that was given to him and he ran and he gave it to سفوان سفوان was praying so he waited for him and when he waited for him he said so سفوان finished the prayer سلام عليكم سلام عليكم he saw this young boy is ready ما شأنك what do you want what is your affairs what do you need from me why are you here and he said امرني امير المؤمنين ادفع ايليك هاد الكيس امير المؤمنين commanded me to give you this bag وفي خمس مائة دينار وفي خمس مائة دينار وفي it is a 500 دينار سفوان لبنو سلام was ليس انا اللدي ارسلت إلي ام not the man who you were sent to give it to فدهب go back and verify make sure فاستثبت verify who is it that you really have to give it to I think this is maybe not for me go and verify go and verify who is it that you need to give it to فولل الغلام the boy took the bag he stood up and he went back to سليمان ابنو عبد الملك when he went back سفوان لبنو سليمن اخذ نعليه he took his shoes straight away وخرج and he left the place and the narration mentioned he left the place ولم يرى حتى خرج سليمان ومن المدينة لا أحد سفوان ابنو سليمن لن يكون هناك مكان حتى سليمان ابنو عبد الملك ومن المدينة خذه خذ من كل من برده هو يترك من what هو يترك من 500 دينار الذي كان يترك من المسلم فيه فيه دفع هو أن هذا المال لا يعتمد على هذا هناك شبه في دفعه في هذا المال هو لا يريد أن يأخذه هو يعتمد على ذلك هذا الشبه هو how they were when it came to that money when it came to money when it came to Halal and Haram they were known as and they were known for النزاها to abstain from those things and الورع and today what we find is people really love fatwas which are easy nice going he makes everything Halal people like that instead of taking what the safest of parts إن الحلال بيّن وإن الحرام بيّن و بينهما أمور المشتبهات لا يعلمهن كثير من الناس فمن يتقشبوا هاتئ فقد استبرأ لدينا وإرضه if you stay away from the doubtful things you protect your honor and you protect your religion السلام عليكم if you are enjoying these videos and you like to keep up to date with all of the courses we are going to be running make sure you head over to AMAU at home
