 الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل واشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى تري بإذن الله الكريم نحن سنذهب إلى حديث جدًا يسمى حديث براء ابن العزب رضي الله تعالى عنه هذا الحديث يتحدث عن المساعدة والمساعدة في المساعدة لذا سنفعل عن هذا الحديث بإذن الله الكريم حديث براء ابن العزب رضي الله تعالى عنه الحديث في حديثه يتحدث عن المسند of إمامه أحمد ابن حمب الرحمه الله تعالى براء ابن عزب يقول خرجنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نذهب إلى حديثه عليه الصلاة والسلام نأتي إلى حديثه لذا المساعدة رضي الله تعالى عنهم هل يمكن الله أن يكونوا بشكل منهم they came out with the prophet and when they came out with the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام في جنازة and they came out with him to a janaza so they went with the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام فانتهينا إلى القبري we came to a grave and we came on top of a grave فجالس رسول الله the prophet sat down عليه الصلاة والسلام وجلسنا حوله and we sat around him and this shows you the etiquettes and the manners of the companions how they were the prophet sat down he didn't have to tell them to sit down they followed him even in his actions so when the prophet sat down they all sat down with him عليه الصلاة والسلام وجلسنا حوله we sat around him عليه الصلاة والسلام وكأن على رؤوسنا الطير it was as though the narration says bads were on our heads and the reason why the companion said كأن على رؤوسنا الطير it's as though bads are on our heads is لشدة سقونهم ووقارهم how tranquil and how calm the companions were they were not moving around so if a bad stands on something or it stays on somewhere it's an object that doesn't move right a bad won't stand on something that moves if the thing moves the bad flies away and this is the etiquettes of how the companions were attentive when he came to the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام and how they listened to him كأن على رؤوسنا الطير it was as though bads were on our heads وفي يديه in the prophet's hand the prophet who had inside in his hand عودون ينكوتو في الارضي the prophet he had with him a twig and the prophet was scribbling on the earth and he was doing this for a period of time the companions were quiet and they were waiting and listening to him in silence watching what he was doing فرافع رأسه the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he lifted his head up فقال the first thing he said to them was استعيدوا بالله seek refuge in Allah من عذاب القبر the first thing that the prophet said to them was استعيدوا بالله seek refuge in Allah من عذاب القبر seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave the prophet he said this twice at least or three so he said استعيدوا بالله من عذاب القبر seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave he said this twice or three times this benefits us how the companions were very reliable that the narrator or the scholars who would narrate how reliable they were that if they were doubtful about a matter they would transmit the doubt they would say twice or three times if they're not sure they won't dismiss that difference to be precise in when they convey the narration through مقالة then the prophet said after that in نلعب the verily the slave المؤمنة the believing slave the one who believes in Allah who believes in the day of judgment who comes with righteous actions إذا كان فينك طاع من الدنيا so now the prophet is going to tell us the first group of people when it comes to this world the people are either believers or they are non-believers so the prophet starts with the believers he says to us in نلعب المؤمن the believer who is what a true believer brothers and sisters إيمان is not a claim إيمان is not just a mere claim rather إيمان is ما وقرة في القلب وصدقات العمل is what settles into your heart and then your limbs tell the truth about it إيمان you fast on your limbs so when the prophet says here إن المؤمنة إن العمل إن العبد المؤمنة the believing slave he means the one who إيمان has settled into his heart and has also come with righteous actions that individual إذا كان فينك طاع من الدنيا when he is departing from this earth he is leaving this world and he is leaving it which is going to be the situation of everybody that moment that transition where this person is leaving this world وإقبال من الآخرة and they are coming to the hereafter going to your grave is the first منزل من منازل يوم القيامة it is the first station from the stations of the hereafter that's why whenever he would come to a grave he would cry حتى يبول للحيته and the beard would be filled up with his tears and they said to him أثمان تذكروا جنة تا والنار the jannah is mentioned the nahr is mentioned فلا تبكي you don't cry and then when you come to the grave you cry until your beard is filled up with tears and he said I heard the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said that the grave is the first stage it is the first منزل من منازل يوم القيامة it is the first station from the stations of the hereafter if the person makes it through the grave and he wins and he answers the question and he passes the test then he's verily going to pass everything after that but if he fails in the grave then he's verily going to fail in every stage that comes after it this is where the stage is so the prophet said العبد المؤمن إذا كان في انقطاع من الدنيا وإقبال من الآخرة نزل إليه ملائكة the angels will descend on him the angels they will descend on this person he's about to leave this world he's dying the nafs has been taken out of him the angels they come down on him بيضوا الوجوه جزاك الله خيرا إذا كان في انقطاع من الدنيا if the person is leaving this world and he's facing towards the hereafter نزل إليه ملائكة angels descend on that person the appearance of these angels are بيضوا الوجوه their faces are white كأنه وجوههم الشمس it's like their faces is the sun it's like their faces is the sun معهم with these angels is كفن من أكفان القنة a shroud from the shrouds of jannah the shroud is taken from jannah وحنوط من حنوط الجنة and the fragrance that the shroud is made of is what it's also bought from jannah حتى يجلسوا منه مدى البصر now these angels will sit from him as far as his eyes can see they don't do nothing so the angel of death comes عليه السلام حتى يجلس عند رأسه the angel of death will then sit on the person next to their head فيقوله he would say يا أيتها النفس طيبة are you righteous soul are you noble individual أخرجي come out إلى مغفرة من الله ورضوان come out to the forgiveness and the pleasing of your Lord فتخرجو it comes out the nefs comes out تسيلو كما تسيلو القطرة من في السقاء the nefs comes out of the person the way that the water goes through the kettle and it just pours out easily it doesn't struggle it just comes out it pours out easily if you do that it comes out فيأخذوها the angel of death will grab the nefs فإذا أخذها when the angel of death grabs the nefs لم يدعوها he does not leave it في يديه طرفة عين for a split second he places it inside the coffin and the shroud that smells nice he places the nefs in there ويخرجو منها and then the angels that were sitting there waiting for the nefs to come out place it inside the shroud and then they go up with it ويخرجو منها and they leave with it كأطيب نفحة and it is the most pleasing smell there ever is the greatest mist that you would ever come across this is the greatest smell وجد على وات الأرض قال فيسعدون بها then they go up and they send high and high with the nefs inside the shroud فلا يمرونة those angels they do not go by any suma'a على ملأ من الملأكة every suma'a that they go there are angels there they don't pass a group of angels with this nefs in the shroud except they say what is this what is this amazing noble smell what is this good soul فيقولونة they say فولان this is so and so بأحسن أسمائه they refer to him by the best of his names الذي كانوا يسمون بها the best name that he used to be called when he was in the dunya حتى ينطوا بها until they bring him to إلى سماء الدنيا until they bring him to the stage where it distinguishes between the dunya and the hereafter they start they come to the sama'a dunya this is the place where no one can go beyond this permission has to be sought so they come to this فيستفتعون بها فيستفتعون له they ask if the door of the sama'a can be opened for him فيفتحوا له then the door will be opened فيشيعه من كل سماء المقربوها every sama'a the angels they actually join in with this nefs and they go to the next level and the next level until they come to إلى السماء السابعة the seventh sama'a فيقول الله عز وجل الله then says اكتبوا right كتاب عبدي right my slave this individual right this particular individual write him in the book في إليين the book for the noble righteous slaves وعيدوه إلى الأرض and take his nefs back to his body take it back to his body فيأتيه ملكاني then the nefs is then brought back to the person all of this is happening and the family are washing the body they are what they are washing the body they are preparing the body they are taking the body to the grave as soon as he is placed inside the grave فيأتيه ملكاني two angels come to him as soon as he gets placed in the grave two angels come to him for usually they tell him to sit up they tell the man or the woman to sit up and he sits up in his grave فيقولاني له the angels say to him مرربك who is your lord فيقوله he says ربي الله my lord is Allah فيقولاني له then they say to him ما دينه what's your religion فيقوله he says my religion is Islam فيقولاني له then they say to him ما هذا الرجل ما هذا الرجل who is this man that was sent amongst you فيقوله he says هو رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم he is the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم فيقولاني له then they say to him وما علمك where did this knowledge come to you that he is a prophet and a messenger from Allah فيقوله he says قرأت كتاب الله I read the book of Allah فأمنت به I believed in it وصدقته and I took it on board I lived by it and it governed my life فينادي منادي a caller will then call out this is after all the questions were put to him and he had answered all of the questions a caller will call out and then he will say اون صدق عبد my slave has told the truth he has uttered words of truth فأفرشه هو من الجنة so widen for him in jannah والبسوه من الجنة and clothe him clothing from jannah وفتحوا له بابا من الجنة and open for him a door from jannah قال فيأتيه من روحها وطيبها the smell and the good fragrance of jannah starts to come into his grave for him ويفصحوا له في قبره and then his grave gets open wide for him مدب بصره as far as his eyes can see قال ويأتيه رجل then comes to him a man حسن الوجه his face is so beautiful his image حسن الاثياب his wearing good clothing طيب الريح the fragrance of this man is amazing فيقول this man says to him in the grave أبشر بالليدي صركة glad tidings in something that's going to bring you good هاد يومكة this was the day you were اللذي كنت أتوعد this was the day used to be promised this was the time you were promised you were told that it's going to take place and that it's going to happen فيقول this man says من أنت who are you the man in the grave looks at this beautiful man with the beautiful clothing and the beautiful face he says to him من أنت who are you فوجهكة your face is الوجه يجيء بالخير a face that will come with good فيقول he then says to him أنا عملك الصالح I am your righteous deeds I am the good that you did when you were in this earth the commands of Allah you followed it you stayed away from the prohibitions of Allah even though your nefs wanted it you really wanted to do it you wanted to sleep and not pray فجر but you reminded yourself of how serious it is so you got up and you prayed you realized the value and the importance of your parents and the station Allah gave them and you were beating towards them that's who I am now you ask yourself from brothers and sisters this question who is the one that has stayed with you through everything what is the one thing that's not left to you that's still with you right now at this point what is it your deeds good or bad so that's what it is for you today it's your deeds it's your righteous actions that you need to carry everybody that day that day in that grave when that image comes to you and this is نبي الله محمد الصادق المصدق الذي لا ينطق عن الهوة إن هو إلا وح يوح he does not speak from his own whims and his desires everything he says is what it's true so that day something is going to come to you it's going to be good or it's going to be bad if you're smart if you're clever if you're thinking well right now today's your opportunity today's your chance to make sure that news that comes to you is something that's going to please you فا يقوله he says to him أنا عملك الصالح I am your righteous deeds فا يقوله this man out of happiness he passed the test he passed the test have you guys not seen those of you who got license who got their license when you passed the test and the driver told you you passed you're going to receive your license some people out of happiness they hug the examiner some people they which I saw they open the door they walk out and say let me take a deep breath some people they lose it why? because it just passed what do you guys think what would you think that day when you passed the real test you've just answered I've always said this it's a question it's a test you know it's questions and some people are still going to fail it's a test you know the questions that are going to be asked to you and these people are going to say huh imagine you fail a test the question was told to you it was already informed to you it's a test and you failed what would you consider yourself if you fail huh that's the reality of the hereafter we know the questions and we even know the answers we have everything there's still going to be a group of people who are going to fail may Allah not make us from those people then the prophet moves on to the second party of people he says وإن العبد الكافر the disbeliever إذا كان في تطاع من الدنيا من هذا العالم وإقبال من الآخرة ويأتي to see the hereafter that's why عليبنا بيطالب he used to say a lot he used to say كونوا من ابنائي آخرة ولا تكونوا من ابنائي الدنيا be from the people of the hereafter and do not be from the people of this world فإن اليوم عمل وغداً وغداً الحساب today is actions accumulate and tomorrow is what? accountability tomorrow you're going to be accounted for those actions we have to take the hereafter and place it in front of our eyes and make sure that something will remind ourselves all the time because that's where we're heading so when the disbeliever he leaves this world and he's going to the hereafter نزل إليه من السماعي ملائكة angels come down on him صود الوجوه their faces are blacken فيجي سونة من who they sit from him those angels مد البصر as far as his eyes can see تما يجيء ملائك الموت and then the angel of death comes هات يجيس عند رأسه the angel of death he sits right next to his head فيقوله he says to him اياتها النفس الخبيثة النفس الخبيثة يفيل في نفس اخرجي كبات الى سخط من الله come out to the anger وغضب come out to the anger of your load اخرجي come out الى سخط من الله وغضب the anger of your load فتفرق في جسده their nefs because it doesn't want to come out it starts to disperse inside the person فينتزعها the angel will then be forced to bring it out forcefully كما ينتزع صفود the way that a metal rod is run through a cotton if it's run through a wet cotton can it run through it لا فيأخذها the angel will grab it فإذا أخدها when he grabs it لم يدعوها he drags it the person is screaming and it's burning and it's killing them فإذا أخدها when he grabs it لم يدعوها في يديه he does not keep it the angel doesn't keep it of death doesn't keep it for too long he passes it over to the other angels who are holding the shroud when they place it the nefs inside there when they place it inside there ويخرج منها the smell that comes out from this nefs inside the shroud كأن تنريح it smells worse than any evil bath smell that you've ever seen it smells even worse than dead corpse the smell of these nefs فيصعدون they take it high up they said with it فلا يمرون بها على ملئ من الملائكة they don't pass a group of angels إلا قالوا except these angels they say ما هذا الروح الخبيث what's this filthy soul what's this filthy individual فيقولون they say this is who this is so and so بأقبح أسمائه they refer to him by the worst of his names التي كانوا يسمى بها في الدنيا حتى ينتبها إلى السماء الدنيا until they come to the سماء الدنيا they come to the and they request for the door to be open فلا يفتح له the door will not be open ثم قرأ رسول الله and the prophet recited the verse لا تفتح لهم أبواب السماء ولا يدخلون الجنة حتى يلجى الجمل في سم الخياط that they will request for the door of the سماء to be open بر الله سبحانه وتعالى he said لا تفتح لهم أبواب السماء the door of the will not be open for them and they will not enter the until حتى يلجى الجمل في سم الخياط until the camel can go through a needle can a camel go through a needle the same way that a camel cannot go through a needle is the same way that they cannot enter جنة and they will not also even be allowed to to be taken through the they won't be these angels won't open it for them then the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said that Allah says اكتبوا كتابهم write this individual his name في سجين write it in the lowest rank the evil criminals wrongdoers write him in that book في الأرض السفلة which is down deep in the earth it was high above it's when it's low فتطرحوا روه and then once his name is written in the book سجين his nafs and his soul is then thrown into his body thrown from the سماء and then the prophet recited the ayah وما يشرك بالله anyone who associates partners with Allah فكأنما خر من السماء فتخطفوه الطير أو تهوي به الريح في مكان صحيق on a windy day like the birds can snack it that person's nafs will be thrown into their body and then once his the nafs comes back to his body the angels in the grave they say to him sit up when he sits up the two angels they say to him مرربك who's your lord فيقوله he then says Ha Ha and the reason why he would say that word Ha Ha is the statement of أزبن رجب الحمد he said يقال it's a speech that he said when the person is متحير confused he doesn't know what to say his loss of words he hasn't got the answer and he said I don't know فيقول لان الله then they say to him مادينك what's your religion فيقوله he says Ha Ha لا أدري then they say to him ما هذا الرجل الذي بُعِثَ فيكم who is this man that was brought out from amongst you نبي الله محمد يقوله he then says لا أدري I don't know فينادي مناد من السماء a caller will call out from the سماء and كذب عبدي my slave is a liar فأفرش له من النار open for him a door for the house fire to come in for him وفتعوا لو بابن إلى النار for him in حرها وسمومها the heat of the house fire and the torment of the house fire comes to him in his grave ويضيق عليه قبر and then the grave is then tightened on him حتى تختلف فيه أضلاع until his ribs they cross by each other ويأتيه رجل قبيح الوجه this man was asked this man was asked three simple questions مربك وما نبيك وما دينك he was asked and he was unable to answer those questions and the reason why he was unable to answer those questions is because he didn't live by those questions those answers some people think as long as they understand the information that's it they're going to be able to answer it it's about living by those questions what it entitles and what it means so he would say هاه لا أدري I don't know then a man comes to him قبيح الوجه whose form is most ugliest unappealing form that you would ever come across قبيح الثياب his garment it's also filthy and evil منطل الريح the odor and the smell that comes from this man is again devastating فا يقول he would say to him ابشر بالذي يسوءك on that which is going to harm you glad tidings for that which is going to make you suffer and then he says to him he says to him this was the day that used to be promised it was the day that you were told about you were informed of that is going to occur فا يقوله then says من أنته who are you فا يقوله he says so he says من أنته for وجهوك الوجهو يجيء بالشرر it's a face that would come with no other good it would only come with evil that's the image and the form that you are فا يقوله he would then say أنا عملك الخبيب I am your filthy actions that all the evil that you did and the crimes and the wrongdoings that you did that's what I am I am a reflection of that I am a manifestation of your evil action فا يقوله he would then say ربلا تقنساعة our Allah do not let the hour come the other one what does he say اللهم أقيم الساعة our Allah the believer says حتى أرجع إلى أهلي ومالي so I can go to my family and my money and my wealth the believer that's what he says the disbeliever on the other hand he says our Allah don't really our why? because what waits for him in the hereafter is far greater than what? than what's taking place for him in the grave right now the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said in a hadith I used to prohibit you from visiting the graves I now instruct you and I command you to go and visit the graves in another way the prophet said go and visit the graves فَإِنَّهَا وَاَيْ فَإِنَّهَا تُدَكِرُ كُمْبِ الْأَخِرَةَ the grave will remind you of what it will remind you of the hereafter that's why I advise you brothers if you can go and visit the graves peace garden in east London go in it go and sometimes go inside it request if you can just go inside and see inside it and see inside it that's one day going to your be your house the house that you're decorating in the UK today and you're beautifying and you're benefitting from the DFS offers and you're being yourself the nice mattress that hole is going to be your what that hole is going to be your grave your house can you beautify it can you decorate it yeah you can how can you decorate it how can you beautify it you can decorate it and beautify it in the righteous deeds look at this man the grave is made for him so wide and so open spacious today when the council wants to give you a if the council wants to give you a hurricane council wants to give you a house what do you try to do you try to go you want to check it out are the bedrooms big is the living room good because guests are going to come to me sometimes you want to check out the space of the house is right that's what you want to look at if it's big you like it you say it's a nice house it's very spacious right it's a big house the grave is a place where you can make it spacious and big but how can you make it spacious with your righteous deeds brothers and sisters you're going to be one of those two parties I assure you that you're going to be one of those two parties you're either going to be عبد المؤمن the true believer who came with what was required from him or you're going to be from the other party brothers work hard put effort and hard work in everybody came to this world and people are working some people are working hard to make sure they beautify their house and another group of people are not wake up and realize the reality of what waits us صحيح brothers you guys are young alhamdulillah فرصة نعمتان مغبول فيهم كثير من الناس الصحة والفلاغ two blessings people are very heedless about they only realize it once it goes what is it صحة and فراغ you guys have those two right you wake up every day you're healthy you got your body parts you got your brain you got everything and Allah has also given you what free time those two are what makes you work hard those two free time and health it should be the thing that makes you come with عبالصالح because you're going to one time lose the شباب that you have and you look back at it one day and you will say to yourself لت الشباب ويعود يومن if only that time can come back again and I can benefit from it so now that you have the opportunity to benefit from your time if being on the streets and playing around and joking around would have benefited I can reassure you you could see those who are on the street have they benefited from their time have they عبدالله ابن مسعود سعيد من وعض بغيره سباق والس he doesn't have to necessarily be the calamity doesn't have to be before him he doesn't have to go through it the smart and the successful person he learns lessons through other people when they go through he goes I don't need to fall in it but you know what's sad our youngest is he's selling drugs before you have you asked yourself who was standing on this corner selling drugs have you wondered he's either shot and the statistics the chances of you getting caught are going behind bars and then it's sad because there's another one right after you who wants to wait for that position and it's going on like that so that person is not smart you're not learning a lesson through what's happened to other people you're going in the same ditch on the same hole as everybody else is going in and you're being told it's a T-junction I want to check it for myself I need to see it and you drive backwards that's the reality a lot of youngsters I remember a brother I advised him to stop what you're doing you're selling drugs stop it I swear when I finish this I'll stop and you know what I have to say something a lot of the youngsters I tell you this this is a true statement I say this with sincerity because I sit with the youngsters in the message that I talk to them and I tell them to bring me their friends and we go out to the local neighborhood and we go into their little places and we meet these kids a lot of these kids when you ask them they say to you I'm selling drugs so why are you doing it for I have to help my mom and dad it's a lie but the truth of the matter is a lot of parents they take from their kids who are selling drugs they take the money from them what are you telling him you're enforcing that idea into his head you're making him believe that what he's doing is right the truth of the matter no one needs your money the parents should say I'm not going to take your money go away leave I don't need your money because he starts to think that he's a working man for his parents and the prophet told us any flesh that has taken in any flesh that has taken in then the hellfire has right over you the hellfire will take its portion from you that's why many of these many of us when we make as the prophet told us as the prophet told us يا رب يا رب ومطعموا حرام وملبسوا حرام وغوضية بالعرام فانا يستجابوا لهذا جواب على حرام يأت حرام how is that person's dua going to be accepted this is a traveler he made dua in the middle of the desert he's begging Allah are you with me how is his dua going to be accepted how is dua going to be what accepted I remember one time one brother who sells drugs we told him stop stop never listens so what he did was some of his friends they ordered a pepperoni pizza for him and so they had haram pepperoni on the pizza so what did he do he started to take out the pepperoni and he said subhan Allah and he bought the pizza with the drug money and he started to take the pepperoni out and he said subhan Allah what do you guys do why give us haram for yeah this is a problem wallahi and all of this is what it's lack of and understanding the reality that awaits the ones who are here who come to these classes come to these reminders try to bring one person with you at least two at least one person bring with you صح the prophet said if you bring one person with you say look come just listen لا يهدى الله بك رجل من حمر النعم for Allah to guide one person on your hand it's better for you than it's better for you than a red camera it's better for you than a bugatti صح so you bring a person you know on the streets bad in the streets bring them out I will say to brothers sometimes you see a person you see a person Allah might guide them you might not think to yourself it's ever going to come out from the darkness that they're in they might come to the mischief listen to a reminder then they they like the reminder or they like the lesson or they like the talk or whatever and guess what they become guided and that person takes on themselves to go and seek knowledge and they become a student of knowledge and they graduate from a university you guys probably know of a brother his name is شخطة هدوة do you know him شخطة هدوة شخطة هدوة to African American brother he's the first English speaker who is permitted to speak teach in the haram in English language first English speaker who is given a microphone in the haram and he has an English language lesson in the haram now he's a revert he's been in Mecca I'm sorry in Medina in the university in the last 20 years studying somebody must have brought him into Islam great somebody brought him into Islam what's the weight and the status of that person who brought him into Islam the weight that they carry are we all together so sometimes you may not accomplish a dream that you're looking for but you might inspire a person and that person may take it on that person might become something so that's why I say bring somebody with you bring somebody with you when they come to them they benefit and Allah سبحانه وتعالى would add that to your scale anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaytan and Allah in his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفرك أتوب إلي
