 الحمد لله رب العالمين وصلى الله على السيدنا وحبيب قلوبنا وشفيع نفوسنا أبل قاسم محمد وعلى البيته الطيبين الطاهرين المعصومين لسيما بقية الله روحي وأرواح العالمين اللي ترابي مقدمه الفداء وأر록 اله음ين أبعادين، الدخولات، صغيرين والأخبرات، السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته as we are discussing in the last night, the position of Ali ibn Abi Talib in reference to a particular hadith in which we stated by the prophet that you or Ali are to me like Aaron was to Moses except that there is no prophet after me في which the Prophet seeks to give to us and distribute to us to give us a more in-depth example of the closeness of the relationship between the Prophet of Islam and Ali Ibn Abi Talib We have a narration which states that the Prophet of Islam looks towards Abadar As you know Abadar was a person, a companion that always spoke his mind And the Prophet gave him the statement in which he says Abadar there's nothing that the Sun sets on more truthful in its speech than Abadar So the Prophet looks at Abadar and he says Oh Abadar He says do you know what is the best type of brotherhood Remember again we're discussing the aspect of brotherhood He says the best aspect of brotherhood that we've been taught is the brotherhood between the prophets Then the brotherhood between the مؤمنين So the Prophet of Islam looks towards Abadar He says yes He says do you want me to tell you of a brotherhood more close and better than that which you have mentioned He says please do enlighten me Oh Prophet of Islam He says the brotherhood between me and Ali Ibn Abi Talib صلى على محمد وعالي محمد One of the four schools outside the school of thought of Ahl al-Bayt One of the founders by the name of Ahmad ibn Hanbal Which is referenced to the Hanbali school of thought His son once comes to him in a story which he asks Ahmad ibn Hanbal he says to him Who is the greatest person or greatest people after the Prophet Now look at this in particular reference Now the first question is you think to yourself Obviously he's going to answer that way He says the best people after the Prophet is the first and second Khalifa Then he looks at him The son looks at the father he says What do you say about Ali Ibn Abi Talib He says do you want me to compare him He says yes What's he in comparison to the first and two The answer that Ahmad ibn Hanbal gives him is very very special That's what I particularly reckon Because he says He says my son I thought you were talking to me about me humans Men Not people of high ranks And people that are known to be of the household of the Prophet That's the difference He says it's not me men He is the household of the Prophet And it takes us to the next level Ali Ibn Abi Talib the Prophet of Islam leaves He gives the trust to Ali Ibn Abi Talib As he wants to migrate He says return these Amana Make sure you take these particular Fawatim From this place to this place He entrusts him And he says I have one last and final task For you O Ali He says what is it O Prophet of Islam He says I want you to sleep in my bed When the kafir come they will try to attack you Do you take this Do you take this risk that they might kill you Look at the reply of Ali Ibn Abi Talib To show you the position of Ali Ibn Abi Talib How much he wanted to sacrifice for the religion of Islam He says to the Prophet of Islam He says O Prophet As long as you will be okay Can you tell me that you will be okay Then I am happy to do it Without the shadow of doubt He says I'll be okay Ali Ibn Abi Talib goes down in prostration And he says شكرا لله الله سبحانه وتعالى In the heavens We have the narration that states That he looks and he says To جبرايل المكايل Look at this narration brothers and sisters He says to جبرايل المكايل He says I have made you two brothers أخيت بينكما I have made you two brothers And then he asks the question Who would like to give up his life Or the remainder of his life So that his brother can live for a longer lifespan So جبرايل المكايل are looking at each other No one of them answers to the other Saying I'll give up my life for you And so الله سبحانه وتعالى Says إهبطا إلى الأرض We go towards the earth They will find my servants Which without hesitation Was happy to give up his life For his brother رسول الله محمد Now that's all well and true In the idea and concept of brotherhood The next level Because we look at brotherhood The next level up up Is the verse in question Which is in آل أمران Verse 61 Chapter 3 آل أمران Verse 61 Now the story is very very famous And I bring forth this particular story Because the hadith and the people That it represents in all schools of thought Is universal No one will come and say no We have this opinion on this particular person We have that opinion It's متواتر That these were the figures in question Now the ayah comes down When the Christians of Najran Come to a debate with the prophet of Islam And they would not come towards Islam So الله سبحانه وتعالى Brings the verse in which you will have a مباهلة In which you bring And the verse says in question او ابناء اله Our sons will bring our sons ابناء انا و ابناءكم We will bring forth our sons You bring forth your sons Or we will bring forth our children You bring forth your children Then he goes on to say When نساء انا و نساءكم Our woman plural Look at the verse in question Plural woman نساء انا و نساءكم Then he goes on to say Ourselves Bring forth yourself We'll bring forth ourselves Remember this is a متواتر Every single school of thought Agrees upon the figures that the prophet brought that day Every single figure in history Every historical book you will open up No one will disagree For his children Pural He brought forth Hassan and Hussein Doesn't bring forth any other companion Or young sibling The prophet of Islam is trying to show us حسين و منن و انا من حسين So in the tenth of Muharram People knew who they killed Our children Your children bring them forth Woman plural Who does he bring? All the women? Does he bring his wives? Does he bring anyone from his Companions Good women in Islam There were so many great women At the time he could have brought forth He brings forth one woman That represents the entire nation Remember You're representing Islam at this stage You're bringing Islam into the picture He takes one woman which was That's number two Now this is the thing I want to look at And this is the depth that I want to get to There's one aspect of brotherhood Between the prophet of Islam And But this is the next level The prophet What does the verse say? Ourselves And yourselves The prophet of Islam Could have came himself He sends As himself He sends As himself Go look at the history books Get me one particular Historical article That says otherwise Or he went as himself Every historical book Records That the prophet of Islam Brought As himself The ninth chapter in the Quran Was revealed The narration say Was given the chapter To go and reveal to Quraish And then Jibrail comes down Towards the prophet Look at the question which he questions God has told me That either you Or yourself Have to reveal This verse We think to it first and foremost How does it make sense? Obviously he's going to go himself But when we look at it in comparison To ayat المباهلة We begin to realize who he meant When Allah says Either you or yourself has to reveal This ayat Stop him halfway and then he takes it The comparison between Musa and Ali happens right here When Quraish The narration states That in Quraish there was not a family Or not a household that Ali ibn Abi Talib Didn't bring sorrow to because he has killed one of their Relatives Whether it be distant Or close Because you fought the kafar in all these wars Musa When the comparison happens between Ali ibn Abi Talib And Musa The comparison is Musa killed one person He was afraid to go back Ali ibn Abi Talib says I knew very well when I went to Quraish There was not a household Unless it was in mourning Because of my sword He says I went without a fear In my heart It brings us insha'Allah To the main topic for tonight Brotherhood Look at that comparison We can have so much a hadith That's going to detail of the position of Ali ibn Abi Talib And insha'Allah We'll discuss them in the upcoming nights But insha'Allah I want to conclude With a particular incident that happened On the Prophet's first And last Hajj As we know the Prophet of Islam only went once So the people look at the importance One of the pillars that you have Imagine Salah They recorded Siam they recorded So when it came to something so grand As Hajj The Prophet went there once He went to and there was one Hajj So you can imagine the recording Everything That the Prophet does in detail He gets to a place Or close to a place By the name of Ghadir Khom جبرايل comes down He says all those people that have gone in front of you Tell them to come back Everyone that's behind you tell them to come forward And we'll meet in this particular point Not a problem He does that he waits In the heat of that area Brothers and sisters The lecture of the Prophet of Islam Is narrated to go for as long as three hours In which they got the saddles And they piled it up Until there was a member for the Prophet of Islam He stood on top and he gave his speech In which he had people under him Repeating verse by verse So everyone may hear it As they did that The Prophet of Islam Because three hours speech One particular aspect want to look at In the reference of Ali ibn Abi Talib In the reference of the willaya In the reference of the position of Ali ibn Abi Talib In the eyes of Allah And the choice of Allah Subhanahu و تعالى We look at a particular aspect In which the Prophet of Islam says من كنت مولاه فعليون مولاه That's in question isn't it Because the other schools of thought Come forth and say well yes مولاه means friend So you're telling me the Prophet of Islam Stopped all these حجاج Brought everyone back Everyone that's behind him brought them forth In the heat of the sun At that time after Hajj To tell them wallah Ali is my friend That's it everyone knows Is it that's important but look at the context Because مولاه has over 20 meanings And sub meanings in the Arabic language But obviously the Prophet of Islam Knows the Arabic better than anyone else He says even to the people That don't understand I'll put it into context for you Because we can look at the actual letters And the حركات And the perfection of what the Prophet says Or we can look at it in an overall context Because the Prophet puts it into context How? The verse before it if we read it He says to the people am I not Or do I not have an authority Over you More than yourselves He says am I not Of a higher authority Than you have on yourselves As to أوله من أنفسه Isn't it Am I not of a greater authority On you than yourselves What do they reply with Yes You do have a greater authority On us than ourselves Then Whoever I am his Maula Now Ali is his Maula صلى الله عليه وسلم And that's the verse in question When someone comes forth and says Well the Prophet of Islam says He brought everyone together Over 100,000 People brought them together just to say Well Ali is my friend This is what you have to reply with This is the importance Of what you have to reply with When the second Khalifa Is narrated to have been walking At the end of his خلافة One of his companions he narrates this He says I saw the second Khalifa Walking and he was in a very Uneasy state A very uneasy state of thoughts Very very Sad and depressed Troubled So I asked the second Khalifa What troubles you Look at the reply of the second Khalifa And to show you How much they degrade the Prophet And how much in history Has been degraded The second Khalifa Is noted to have said to his companion I am so thoughtful And I want to make a perfect decision That who will I leave And entrust to this religion too I need to choose someone In the right manner and the right perspective To take control of all the Islamic empire This great religion I need to put someone in charge Which is worthy Now the question arises Where does the Prophet come into question Do you not think that the Prophet of Islam Would have had that thought Or do you have left it for the people When we have the calamity of Thursday Go and Google it tonight The calamity of Thursday Every historian narrates it People around the Prophet Split into two After the Prophet of Islam And countless occasions غدير خمس just one of them The Prophet told the people After he comes back to the last war He says make sure you go towards the Army of Osama I don't want anyone in here Leave Ali ibn Abi Talib in charge So they stayed back Against the Prophet's will Even though he cursed them That's the second opinion On the third level what happens On his deathbed He does it on a Thursday The calamity of Thursday He passes away on the Monday How many days before it A number of days He says give me what we refer to now As a pen and a paper So I may write for you something That if you hold on to You will never go astray after me The people knew who it was Because he already said it countless times Hold on to the Quran The Quran and my people The Quran and my people Countless occasions That the people there and then Knew what he was going to write down on that scroll What did they say Don't give him the parchment They have the audacity to say That the Prophet is delirious I can't say the Arabic terminology for it Because I'm on the member I feel that I'm degrading The Prophet mentioning something that's happened in history Imagine the person at the time that lived with the Prophet Had the audacity to say that word About the Prophet Look at that calamity of Thursday The Prophet The Prophet of Islam saying bring me this He says no It's a Prophet that's delirious Where the Prophet means Allah سبحانه وتعالى Is instructing Doesn't mean the Prophet is doing it from his own accord That's why we have one of the Scholars now that's reverted By the name of If anyone's come across him He narrates and he says He says we used to study in eloquence The essence of Arabic The essence of eloquence We used to study He says but the way we were taught The way we were brought up In my particular faculty of study Is that whenever Our heart clenches It's as if we have hatred It's as if we're taught But you know what Stay away So he said He says But don't we dissociate ourselves With these people that are called These people that are of these origins He says My teacher's words Is the thing that made me research Research who What did he say The teacher just replies by saying من للبلغة من مثلو علي Who is for eloquence Except for علي ابن أبيض علي He says I heard this and I want to research How is it that we may Dislike this man Why is it that we dislike this man Until I reached a Hadith in which it states what علي no one likes you Except a mu'min No one hates you except a hypocrite He says I came to this And I started to question myself What do I know, what don't I know علي not only His companions bear witness to his greatness The greatness Is that his enemies bear witness To his greatness When we have the The poem which we recite Which باصم كالبلاي is recited On countless occasions This is attributed to one of his enemies One of عيبي مطالب's enemies When the poem starts off by saying بقال محمدين أورفى الصواب وفي أبياتهم نزل الكتاب فهم حجج الإله على البرايا بهم وبجدهم لا يستراب لا سما أبل حسن علي له في الحرب مرتبة تهاب إطلبت صوارمه نفوسا فليس لها سوى نعم جواب طعام حسامه مهج الأعادي وفيض دم الرقاب له شرابه وضربته كبيعته بخمن معاقدها من الناس الرقابه فإن لم تبرأ من عداء علي فما لك في محبته ثوابوا علي الدر والذهب المصفى وباق الناس كلهم ترابه هو البكاء في المحراب ليلن هو الظحاك إذا اشتدد رابه هو النبأ العظيم وفلك نوح وباب الله وانقطع الخطاب صلواته أنميز بيوطنس ما يجب علينا أن نتعلم من خلاصه إذا كانت أنميز بيوطنس في هذا عندما أردت هذا المصفى فقط يجب علينا أن نتعلم من المصفى عالي ابن أبي ظالب وإن شاء الله يجب علينا أن نتحدث عن عالي ويجب علينا أن نتعلم من المصفى عالي ابن أبي ظالب عندما أردت الإسلام وننسأل عن الفرق ويجب علينا أن نتعلم عن عالي ابن أبي ظالب ونذهب إلى العلم before I say it in Arabic وإن شاء الله ونقوم بقراء هنزن دعاء وأنه يقول إذا لم أقوم بقراء عالي فأنا أقوم بقراء عالي فأنا سأقول بقراء عالي وأنه لم أقوم بقراء عالي وأنه ستقوم بقراء عالي سأقول شيئ عنك أن الناس ستأخيف من أجل أسوء أسجل ومن أجل أسجل وأنهم يجب عليهم بلساعد يجب عليهم بلساعد ولكن كل ما يفعله أن أسجل منك وأنك مني والأسجل منك أن يقول يقول أن أخاف أن تقول فيك من أمتي ما قالته النصار في إيس بن مريم لقلت فيك كلمة لا تمر بها على ملأ إلا وأخذوا من ترابنا عليك ومن طهورك ما يستشفون به لكن حسبك أنك مني وأنا منك وشيعتك على منابر من نور مبيضة وجوههم حولي في الجنة وهم جيراني نريد أن نتحدث about what the prophet of Islam had and what the prophet of Islam knew about Ali ibn Abi Talib or Ali no one knows you except me and Allah and no one knows Allah except me and you who is Ali we'll discuss that in the upcoming nights إن شاء الله but for now we want to pray to Allah and thank Allah that he has kept us on this path and we pray to Allah with the Surah المباركة الفاتحة تسبقها 3 of Yola and the Salawat على محمد وآل محمد
