 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا وحبيبنا وشفيعنا وقائدنا وقرة عيوننا سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك وعظيم سلطانك اللهم افتح علينا فتوحة العارفين اللهم علمنا ما ينفعنا وانفعنا بما علمتنا يا رحم الرحيمين وصند اللهم على سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه واجمعين إن شاء الله today we will talk about the female one female companion of the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم ام مسلين بنت ملحان رضي الله عنها and a male companion سيدنا ساعد ابنه معاز رضي الله عنه ام مسلين actually when we want to talk about her we will give a hint a short hint about her son we will know who he is right now ام مسلين بنت ملحان رضي الله عنها was known to be as a blessed woman who had lots of love and sincerity to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم before Islam امسلين was married to her cousin ماليك ابنه النظر and they had a son and a son ماليك so this is the companion within companion who we are going also to mention today امسلين was from the pioneers who embraced Islam at its early time she tried to convince her husband ماليك to embrace Islam but he refused he even got very angry that she became a Muslim and that she asked her boy to repeat the Shahada after her so he threatened her that he is going to leave them and he did اه he left them and traveled to Shem but soon after he was killed there امسلين was was sad that he died without embracing this great religion امسلين took very good care of her son she was a very caring and loving mother she was the mother and the father to him and she loved him so much اناس رضي الله عنه talks about how great his mom was to him امسلين says the best thing his mom made for him and did for him was when she gifted him to رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم to be his servant امسلين we all know that سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم migrated to Medina امسلين when he got there the people of Medina gave him gifts and امسلين wanted him to be with them but امسلين took her son and he was not even 10 at that time and she said يا رسول الله ان الرجال انصاري ونساءهم قد اتحفوك so the men of Medina and their wives have given you gifts but I don't have anything to give ايراني لم اجد ما اتحفوك به إلا ابني هذا فتقبله مني يخدمك I don't have anything to give to you except my son this son and I wish you can accept him so he can serve you so what a gift is it a gift to سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم or a gift to her son امس رضي الله عين to live in the house of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so this is the true mom she cared about her son she did not care only about this دنيا she did not care about this but she cared about the life after she cared about the eternal life she wanted to guarantee that her son is saved in the life after so she did him this great favor so now Anas رضي الله عنه was so close to سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he served him and he loved him a lot and he had the blessings to live with the prophet of Allah at his home and to learn from him once um um سلام came to سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she said يا رسول الله make it a half for my son so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said الله مأكثير ماله وولده واتخيله الجنة Oh Allah make an increase in his wealth and progeny and get him into paradise and later in life Anas رضي الله عنه he said I got the first two points of this fulfill then I am waiting for the third one so so he said I asked the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to intercede for me on the day of judgment and he said I am the one to do so so Anas رضي الله عنه said oh messenger of Allah then where shall I seek you on the day of judgment and سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said seek me the first time you should seek me on the surat and Anas was a little worried so he asked him if I don't meet you if I don't meet you up on the surat where should I look for you and سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said then seek me at the mizan at the scale and Anas said and if I don't meet you at the mizan so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said then seek me at the hope for indeed I will not be missed at these three locations so this is if we have a deeper look at this hadith at this narration so we find that this is a lesson to each and every one of us we all want to see you سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so don't go here and there don't look for him we have these three locations seek these three locations so Anas رضي الله عنه was blessed by the servant of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he gave us this secret you know now where to look for سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so Anas رضي الله عنه was the sincere servant and the smart student he learned a lot from سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he narrated so many hadith for سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم now أم سلام has a unique second marriage story and on the authority of Anas رضي الله عنه he said أبطلها proposed to my mom to أم سلام before he embraced Islam and she said to him as for me I desire you and no one like you is to be rejected but you are not a Muslim and I am a Muslim woman so she she desired him he was a man of honor he was a man of wealth he was a perfect man to propose to a lady but that did not attract her attention so she said aren't you ashamed that you worship a piece of wood that was engraved by so and so slave so your God cannot defend itself how can it benefit you how can it prevent any harm from reaching you she added to him she said to him I will marry you if you become a Muslim and this will be my dowry I don't want to anything else I'm not asking you for anything else except to become Muslim أبطل حالفت and he thought of her words he was a man of wisdom and he thought of what she told him about the God he worships he was convinced convinced with her words this God that he claims to be a God cannot defend itself when something would happen to him cannot lift himself if it fell on the ground so how can he worship such a God he was convinced with her words and he immediately embraced Islam and أبطل حالفت and by this المسلم was the first woman who made her dowry her husband's conversion to Islam and with this she attained the virtue that the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم had promised by saying by Allah if a single person is guided to Allah through you it will be better for you than a whole lot of red candles which were very expensive and valuable so صلى الله عليه وسلم this is a lesson for each and every one of us when you learn something about Islam and when you master it you have to pass it to others who don't know it you never know your words might be a reason for them to convert to Islam also you're being a true Muslim you're being a Muslim who acts and who behaves like سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so you show the good manners to people, to non-Muslims and we heard so many stories of how non-Muslims be changed and convert to Islam because of the because of how well treated they were by Muslims they have not seen these manners from people of their own religion or if they don't have a religion they know that Islam is the perfect religion so now we have to know that our actions are دعوة our manners are دعوة our words are دعوة our dua is also دعوة so try to be generous with all types of دعوة and try to fulfill this دعوة سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم try to be one of those people whom Allah سبحانه وتعالى will guide people through you so ام سلمة وطلحة and later they had a son and they named him أبو عمير this أبو عمير was a gift to the family and they loved him so much his father loved him so much his mother loved him so much and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم loved this boy and once سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was passing by and he found أبو عمير crying so he asked him what happened and he knew that أبو عمير was crying because this boy had a birdie whose name was النغير and then this bird died so أبو عمير was crying and of course we know سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was so merciful so he wiped the head of this little boy and he said to him ما فعل النغير what happened to the النغير so he showed him the mercy he has in his heart so when we have such a position such a story we have also to show mercy to people and our mercy should be not only to the old but also to the kids so being merciful to kids then we imitate سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and we all know how he used to love الحسن و الحسين his grandchildren so he used to play with them they used to race with him to they used to wrestle with him and he's he's praying and he would wait for them until they get off his back when he is making سجود so this is a type of mercy this is a type of love to the children this is سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so رضي الله I used to to take advantage of any chance that she can use to serve سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and it was mentioned that whenever سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم got married she used to make food for him and she used to send it with Anas her son and so that the سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم will have a party for the wedding and he would call his companions to eat for this party so in return سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم used to come and visit them all the old ways he loved this family he loved a Muslim he loved Anas and Abu Talha and they were special to him so the Muslims رضي الله و عنه as I mentioned a very smart and wise woman سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم told her that with love there is Dua and Dua is the weapon of the Muslim so he told to her يا أم سليم إذا صليتي المكتوبة when you pray the فرد then say سبحان الله عشرة سبحان الله 10 times و الحمد لله عشرة الحمد لله 10 times و الله أكبر عشرة and 10 times الله أكبر ثم سلي الله هذا الشيط فإنه يقال لك نعم then يور دعاء will be answered so بلا تايدين بيك بشرة و مسلين رضي الله و عنه what a gift that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم has given her ما شاء الله ثم بعد أم سليم and her husband أبو طلحة were tested and let's see what happened to them they're very loved child أبع مير قد سك and every day أبو طلحة would come back to ask would come back home he would immediately ask his wife how is our son doing and she would say he's good إن شاء الله they will make toha and they would wait one day he went out and the little boy died his mom was was caring for him but that was his time and he died his mom got so sad but she was very patient she accepted what Allah has predestined for her so she got the baby she made us for him and she she shrouded him and she was repeating then she looked at the ladies who were with her and she said no one would tell about the death of our son except for me so when أبو طلحة came back later in the evening she prepared the food for him she she sat with him and she did the same thing that she would do every day and he asked he asked her how is our son doing and she said he is the best of every day so when they had dinner she she they had good time husband and wife good time together and he asked she said to him she wanted to tell him but she wanted to say it in a wise way so she asked him you know people of our neighborhood had borrowed something from others and when they were asked to give it back so he said how bad this is how can they do that and she said this is you your son was given to you by Allah and Allah has got him back so the father was very sad but he he said and he practiced the best patients when it was the morning of طلح and he told him what he has done so he made dua for them and he said or Allah bless their night and whatever they did during that night so Allah SWT and reimbursed the mom and the father and they had a boy a baby boy and she did not want to breastfeed him until she saw him and gave him the date to try so she called Anas and she sent his brother with him with some dates and she asked him to give his brother to say the Muhammad SWT so Anas did so and and and he put them in the mouth of the little baby so he he tested them and he loved the dates that he had in his mouth and said the people of Medina they would love dates so he wife the head of the baby and he named him Abdullah and Allah SWT has fulfilled the dua of so this baby was of the best Muslims he had 7 children and all of his children were half of the Quran so this was the main features of her character where the wisdom she had much wisdom and reason and we saw how she conveyed how to convert to Islam she was also so courageous so brave she used to go to the battles with and she had so many stories one of them on the day of Hunain she took a dagger with her and and he said this is Muslim she is holding a dagger and he said why are you holding this dagger so she said I took it up so that I may tear open the belly of a a politicist if he comes near me she was very courageous and of course one of her characters also was she loving the prophet and tracing his trail in everything there is a narration by that that one used to sleep in their house and one time he slept and so he got a nap at his mom's house and once she came to her house she found that even Muhammad is sweating his sweat falling on the leather cloth she spread on her bed so she opened her scent bag and began to fill the bottle with it with the sweat of so when he looked at her and he said what are you doing she said we seek blessings from our children through this and say the Muhammad said you have something right also there are so many stories about a muslim I think we need to move to our next next companion but let me end with this one so a muslim was a very knowledgeable woman and she narrated a Hadith of the Muhammad and she was known for this knowledge and people would come and ask her for some jurisprudence questions and the further true is what the messenger of Allah said about her I entered the heaven and I heard a voice and I said who is this she is she is a daughter of the mother of the mother of the mother of the mother of والله يجب علينا أن نكون مثلها. والأمام الأفضل الذي يجب علينا أن نرى محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. والله يجب علينا أن نقوم بإمكاننا to raise our children exactly like she did. She guaranteed the Akhira for her children. She guaranteed the next line for her child, for Ennis. And this is how we all need to be. We move on to our next companion, سيدنا ساعد ابن مواز. And we know that سيدنا ساعد was his Islam story is very unique. He was about 30 years old. So he went to Mus'am ibn Umayr. And he was sitting with some of the people of Medina talking about Islam and reciting the Quran to them. So ساعد ابن مواز went to them. He was holding his spear. He was angry. He wanted to get them expelled out of Medina. So he was sitting with سيدنا مواز. So ساعد ابن مواز is coming angry. And he told him he must have the chief of his tribe is coming now. If you succeed to make him embrace Islam, then all his tribe will become Muslim. So he arrived. He got to Mus'ab. And he told him and to ساعد ابن زراره. They were together, as I mentioned. He said, يا أبا أماما, لو ما بيني وبينك من القرابة, ما رمت هذا مني. ما رمت هذا مني. اتغشان في دارينا بما نكره. If you were not of my kinship, then I would have done something else. You talk about what we disbelieve and what we hate among our people. ساعد ابن مواز was so calm. And he said, او تقردوا فتسمر. Why you don't say it? And you listen. If you will hear something you accept, you like, then it will be good. If you feel that you hate what you are going to listen, then we will stop talking about it. ساعد was a very wise man. And he said, فر enough. So he put his spear on the ground and he sat down. And مصعب, رضي الله عن talk to him about Islam. And he read the first few three ayas of Surat Al-Zukhraf. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. حامين والكتاب المبين. إنّا جعلناه قرآن عربية لعلكم تعقلون. So he said, of course these are the three, the حروف that are, we do not try to get an explanation for them. الله سبحانه وتعالى knows the explanation. So he gave us an oath by the clear book. And he is swearing by the Quran. و جعلناه قرآن عربية لعلكم تعقلون. إنديد we have made it an Arabic Quran that you might understand. We know that each and every messenger when he came to his people he was given the miracle of the people. So Sayyidna Musa, his people were so famous for sorcery and magic. So he was given this talent. سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم his people were very well known by the Arabic language. So the Quran was a challenge for them. Even if they were so fluent in Arabic they could not get one ayah that resembles the Quran. So this was their challenge. And Sa'ad was very smart. So he knew that this is not even if it's the Arabic language then it's not something that anyone can say. This shouldn't be human talk. So Sa'ad was delighted. And it was shown on his face. And this is why they say whatever state your heart feels it will show on your face. And we always hear that this person has a radiant face because he has light in his heart. And this light comes from the Quran the light of Allah the light of Zidna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم the love of the Quran the love of Zidna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم So it's very important to work on our hearts. So now Sa'ad ibn Mu'az had heard three ayahs and he became a Muslim. So Sa'ad said عارفنا والله في وجه الإسلام قبل أن يتكلم We knew that he became a Muslim before he says anything. So he said to them What do you do if you want to be a Muslim? So they said you wash, you purify yourself you purify your cloth and you say the Shahada you pray to Rakhaz and that's it. So he did. And he took his clothes and went back to his people and he called them يابنى عبدالأشهال So how do you know we said you are our master we haven't seen anyone who is wiser than you we trust you we believe in you So he said لن تتحدث عن أي شخص كل شيء يسرحني until you believe in Allah and his messenger So until the evening there was not a single man or a woman in his tribe except I became Muslim So this was the life of Sa'ad ibn Mu'az He changed and he became a very good Muslim and he would give victory to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم So we all know that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم migrated to Medina and Sa'ad was one of them Sa'ad was with the Sahaba they accepted the Muslims and they were so good to them and he had very good and strong positions with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم So for example when it was the second year of future we all know that it was a bit better to that year So in that for that occasion سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was getting was counseling with his companions about whether to go for the battle was it better or not So those who migrated with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم stood up and talked and سيدنا أبو بكر talked well سيدنا عمر talked well but سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was waiting So until it was Sa'ad he understood the message so he stood up and he said يا رسول الله كأنك تريدنا So we and as I just mentioned ساد was the leader of his people and his people received سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم So سيدنا محمد said yes So he said يا رسول الله قد أمن بك وصدقناك We believed in you and we trust you وشاهدنا أن ما جئت بي والحق we witnessed that what you came with is the truth and we gave you our promises our confidence we are going to obey you So you might say you might be afraid that we won't fight but we are fighting with you we are as one of the so do whatever you want we are with you fight whoever you want we are with you have peace with whoever we want you want we are with you take from our whatever you want we will give you whatever you need and anything anything you want we are with you so if you go into this if you go into the sea we would go into it with you none of us would would stay behind we are with you whatever you want to do and we are all depending on Allah سبحانه وتعالى imagine these words these powerful words these strong words that manifest the and talks about the character of Sayyidina Sa'a رضي الله وعب then it was and Sayyidina was with those who stood who were fast with Sayyidina Muhammad who fought very strongly and this was the position of Sayyidina Sa'a so he would he would be very supportive to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم then what happened I mean Sayyidina Sayyidina Sa'a was was very well was the wisest person among his tribe and he as I mentioned had so many good positions with Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and there are so many stories which prove how Sayyidina Sa'a was with people around him Sayyidina Sa'a was wounded in and Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم came to Sayyidina Sa'a before his death and he was the last one that Sa'a it was the last face that he saw was the face of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so he said to him الصلام عليك يا رسول الله أما إني أشهد أنك لرسول الله أما إني أشهد أنك لرسول الله السلام عليكم يا حليبي رسول الله I witness that you are the messenger of Allah so at night جبريل عليه السلام came to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said to him روم يا محمد روم was that righteous slave who just passed away the doors of the skies were open and the throne of Allah shook at his death so Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم knew that it was Sa'a he went immediately went to his house and he found he found him dead so Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم made dua for him and so you know that جبريل عليه السلام gave the news of Sa'a to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and he told him that the throne of Allah shook at the death of Sa'a of this person of righteous person so imagine how dear to how good Sa'a must so that the throne of Allah would shake for his death سبحان الله بشرة بشرة يا ساحة ابن محاز and people went to the the funeral of Sa'a رضي الله عن Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم helped withholding him until he he got him buried in Al-Baqia so so they said that the his body was so light and they haven't helped anyone who was lighter than him أبو سايد الخدري رضي الله عن he helped with the grave of Sayyidina Sa'ad and he said انا من من حفر لساعد انقبره بالبقيع وكان يفوح علينا المسبو كلما حفرنا قترة من تراب حتى انتهينا الى اللحظ so he said أبو سايد I was one of those who who did and whenever we would dig some a little bit then the mist would come out until we got into his the place where he was buried so after after Sa'a رضي الله عن was he said هذا الذي تحرك له العرش وفتحت له أبواب السماء وشهده سبعون ألف من الملائكة so لقد ضم ثم فرج عن this is the one who who to whom the throne of Allah for his death the skies were open and 70,000 angels attended his funeral so with all of that he was when they put him in the grave there was some hardship and then it was all clear for him so if there is if there is anyone to be saved of this then it would be Sa'a so everyone would know that there is a crush in the grave so رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم was came back and everyone was repeating so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم used always to mention and remember Sa'aad and to speak well about him and this was Sa'aad there are so many bounties for him and a lot of reports for him in الجنة and he all of it was mentioned by سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم this was سيد نسان رضي المخواه this was سيد أم سلين بنت ملحان so we asked الله سبحانه وتعالى to to reunite us with them in the day after to under the flag of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so this is our call in this dunya to hear about the companions of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and to learn from their stories وصد الله وصحبه وسلم ورحمة الله وبركاته
