 فشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي المثال لذلك هو أنه كان one time invited by one of his students one of his students he called the sheikh to come over to eat his house and he said to him I want you to come to my place at one o'clock so the sheikh came and when he came he came 15 minutes early and the sheikh he stayed in his car he did not come out and when it became one o'clock sharp he came and knocked the door the sheikh did not speak about the issue and the student some of the students who were with the sheikh who were with him had informed the one who invited the sheikh that the sheikh was 15 minutes outside and he never came and knocked the door so he went to the sheikh and he said why didn't you come and knock the door and then he said to him because before the time is as bad as after the time to come early is as bad as to come after the reason is because you're busy preparing yourself you're busy preparing yourself you're also busy in organizing for the guest he was like that he was also well known for his the sheikh used to benefit from his time he would not let his time go by without a purpose and a goal behind it not even a split sheikh NASA had one of the things that he was well known for is his time but in that case students if they came in and the sheikh رحم الله he was in his مكتب the sheikh used to wear glasses he would carry on reading then he would carry on reading he would look at the person from underneath his eyes underneath his glasses so he would look at them like this he says is there any questions that you have the person says yes I have questions he asks once he finishes the question if sheikh NASA رحم الله put his head down to his book it meant the time is over the time is over you now can go sometimes he would say to the person if he didn't understand he would say he's sorry for إن شاء الله and if it was from his closest students he would what if it was from his closest students he would رحم الله they would know that and if you put his head back to the book it was a very polite way of him saying to them it's time for you to go if the sheikh رحم الله was driving from a destination to another place and somebody was with him he would not let them to spend the time speaking he would say if anyone of you has a question let's ask benefit from this opportunity and he would teach his students to value every minute of making it a moment of benefit for themselves the sheikh رحم الله he was he was in a person who took all of those أحديث without implementing them he was very well known for his implementation of the knowledge sheikh ناصل as you all know he passed 80 years of age he passed 80 he died in 84, 85 whatever but the sheikh رحم الله was still fast he was fast one laser 10 days and the sheikh رحم الله some of the students they said that we were young youths and we wouldn't fast some of us and the sheikh would say to them I am fasting and I'm older than you I'm 80 and you guys are young he would say to them and one of the things that he said to them one time was أخذت على نفسي I have made a covenant with myself I promise اللى أخالف بفعلي قولي that my speech does not oppose my actions and he said وستفدت ذلك من قولي النبي الله شعيب and he said I benefited this وما أريد أن أخالفكم إلى ما أنهاكم عنه وما أريد أن أخالفكم إلى ما أنهاكم عنه I do not want to oppose you I mean I do not want to oppose what I prohibit from you guys I do not want to tell you guys to leave of something and then I come and then I do it the sheikh رحم الله he never ever taught his students a sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم except that he would do it he would call them to something and he was the first to do it to the extent one day the sheikh was given a lesson and a police officer came in and the police officer wanted to pray the Salah without a sutra and so the sheikh said يا شورطي oh police officer is that it plays a sutra so the police officer he went forward and placed a sutra and when he finished a prayer he came to the sheikh and he said to him جزاق الله خير may Allah reward you for what you have brought to my attention that's what type of person he was he also had as a character and a wisdom of his advice he was very wise in how he would give the advice and how he would speak to the people even though he get the point across شغناصر but he was wise in how he dealt with matters and he would place people in their places كان ينزلوا الناس ومنازلهم and place the people in their positions الله placed in them one time he studied about Islam who died recently رحمه الله رحمة واسعة he mentioned that he said that شغناصر رحمه الله تعالى one day he came to one of my khutmas and he said I didn't know he was there I used to do khutmas and شغناصر was there in the crowd who listened to the khutma he said I didn't know he was in the crowd I wasn't aware of it and he said on the pulpit by accident slip of a tongue I mentioned a narration which was weak and then he said when the prayer finished I was shocked that شغناصر رحمه الله تعالى and he said to me يا أبا إسلام about Islam come and visit me in sha Allah in my house so I said I came and I visited him and I sat in his house and other students were there as well they were asking him questions and they were speaking to him and he was responding to them and then he said to me أبا إسلام ذكرت جملة كنا وكنا you mentioned this this this and I didn't know عليها دليل I have no evidence for it فهل أعلمتنا why don't you teach us educate us يا أبا إسلامي بدليلها why don't you educate us and teach us this evidence لنستفيد أميكا so we can benefit from you that's what he said to him عليه رحمة الله why don't you give us the evidence for it so we can benefit from you والله that's something one person should look at and observe and to be honest this kind of statement right now may not feel big to some of you guys but I remember one time I quoted a reference and I attributed it by accident to الإيمام إبنو تيميا and the statement was said by who إبنو قيم and I remember my teacher when I was telling him that he said he said to me I might be wrong he said or he said I think it might be إبنو قيم was it that way he said it or the way he said it was really really it made me think yeah it wasn't إبنو قيم as soon as he said it I was like yeah you're right remember it is him but he told it to me in a way where he didn't he didn't feel like he came directly at me he didn't also I didn't feel like he was correcting me are you with me it was so humble it was so easy it was smooth that I went I was like yeah you're right I'm wrong I accepted it and that's a حكمة إيم نصيحة correcting a person in a matter so when the sheikh said that to him the student said to him إبنو سبقو ليسان was the slip of the tongue و لا اذكروا أنا أيضا لها دليل I also don't have evidence for it look what the sheikh said جزاك الله خيرا أراحتنا جزاك الله خيرا you brought us comfort and relaxation و قصرت علينا الطريق and you made the road short of us other people they wasted your time and they say yeah don't find something for it our research in sha Allah I'll get back to you on this I know there's something out there and in your معلقة شغناصر he just said you made it easy for us it doesn't exist another example that sheikh nasir had was one of his students he said and he said I wasn't there he said my young daughter picked up and when she picked up the phone she said السلام عليكم و رحمة الله so the sheikh asked her is your father home and she said to him no sheikh he said no he said to her tell your father that محمد ناصر الدين الألباني كد he didn't say a chef he didn't say Allah called himself محمد ناصر الدين الألباني then when the student came home and he was informed that sheikh al-bari called him this is sheikh al-bari so he stood straight with who sheikh nasir and he said sheikh may Allah bless you I heard you called me the sheikh said to him after they talked about what they wanted to talk about this is show you when sheikh nasir was he said your daughter when she picked up the phone and I spoke I said to her I spoke picked up the phone she responded she's the one who picked up the phone and she said السلام عليكم و رحمة الله he said is this something she's doing based on knowledge that you taught her or she's doing it because she's a young girl it's a mistake that she came with why is it sheikh nasir picking up that or that when somebody calls you you do not say السلام عليكم you pick your phone up by say what نعم yes they have knocked on your door they are the ones who came they are the ones who have to say السلام عليكم are you with me that's the sunnah are you with me brothers somebody comes to your house you open the door you say نعم they say السلام عليكم when you pick up the phone what do you say نعم are you with me the person will say what to you السلام عليكم and then what do you say و عليكم السلام are you with me so he picked up on that رحمة الله و رحمة الله that's to show you that's to show you that's to show you that's to show you that's to show you that he was not just a scholar alone he was a murabbi he was a nurturer he was a cultivator he cultivated the community he was from he taught the people around him he called them to the smallest of the strulla he didn't take anything insignificant one of the things that شخلاصر was very he also had his أثبات على المنهج شخلاصر was firm he stood fast upright on the correct methodology he always used to say عليكم اثبات على التوحيد be steadfast upon توحيد hold on to the sunnah hold and tread on the path of the methodology and the path and the way of the companions he used to repeat that many times if you listen to his tapes he always talks about that and he always says and then the Sahab as they said who was the saft one تجنبها في جنة ومن كل المجموعة ستذهب إلى الهوفات فالففتر يقول ما أنا عليه اليوم مواصحا بي anyone who is upon that which I and my companions are upon that's the only people who are going to go to paradise that's the people who are going to make it to paradise straight away شغناس رحم الله يجب أن يتعرف هذا الحديث أمام يجب أن يقول the claimers of correct methodology are many many claim it والذين يتبطون عليه قليل but those who are firm upon it are little وستعرف ذلك بعد الموت and you all will know that after my death how many people والله is so true sometimes he used to say رحمه الله تعالى he used to say he used to say the dark night people will know the value of the moon the people will know the value of what they have when the moon goes he used to always say when you're with the people it prevents them from seeing your value you find the quality of something when you lose it you realize what this person was doing for you and what they were holding for you رحمه الله he used to say that and when he died it was true many people became clear to the people they used to claim the love of the sheikh they used to claim that they were of his methodology they used to deceive the people by rubbing on the sheikh you know the sheikh knows me and whatnot but when the sheikh رحمه الله died and they knew they couldn't speak when the sheikh was alive they knew they couldn't respond to him because the sheikh had the pen and the paper and they had the knowledge they were scared of him but as soon as he died they started to accuse him of إرجاء he started to accuse him of what they could accuse him of رحمه الله تعالى the sheikh was very very humble and he used to teach his students to be humble and one of the good examples of his humbleness and his was he would sometimes go and visit after صلاة الفجر he would go and visit are you with me but sometimes he would go to his students and he would visit them after فجر and he would buy gifts on the way and he would go to give and he would knock on their houses and he would give it to them and he would say to them هدي هدي يتن this is a gift لا يقدمها لك إلا الأنبالي no one else is going to give you this gift except الشيخ الباني no one else is going to give you this gift except الباني you would say that here رحمه الله this is his طواضر and his humility meaning he is saying that this cheap gift no one else is going to give it to you except الباني this simple stuff only الباني is going to give it to you he sometimes if he saw his students in his gathering and he saw that their facial expression wasn't good and they felt a bit sad and depressed or pain the sheikh رحمه الله from his busy time he would call them if that was what he was able to do to bring comfort to their heart and to say to them don't worry إن شاء الله تعالى and he would give them words of comfort the sheikh was very very patient in دعوة very very patient whenever he would be told about somebody who would wrong him or he would be told for example that he a calamity or something had been befallen him the sheikh would consistently and continuously say حسب الله و نعم الوكيل اللهم إني مظلوم فانتصر أو الله I am oppressed give me victory he would say that رحمه الله تعالى شق الباني was without a doubt he was a he was a mountain he was a shade for many many would shade him and he was a mountain that no nothing could move him رحمه الله و رحمة الوالسعة no government backed him and no no one financed him gave him money he was a one man but he himself alone was a government he himself alone was a leader شغلاص الرحمه الله تعالى the scholars they praised him شغل البان said بارايته تحت قديم السماء I never saw anyone under the sky أعلم بالحديث who is knowledgeable in Hadith in this era and this time مثل العلمة محمد ناصر الدين الألباني don't like إلاك ألباني I don't know anyone under the sky who is more knowledgeable in Hadith than ألباني رحمه الله one time sheikh ibn al-Baz was asked about the Hadith that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said إن الله يبعث لهذه أمة الله will bring out for this أمة على رأس كل مائة سنة every hundred years Allah will bring a person who will revive the religion for the people who is this person ألباني ibn al-Baz was asked and he said الشيخ محمد ناصر الدين الألباني he is the one Allah brought out for this أمة to revive it هو مجدد هذا العصري في ظني in my belief he is the revival of this time ibn al-Baz said this الشيخ عبد المحسن العباد he said ألباني رحمه الله is من العلماء الأفضان he is from the elite scholars الذين أفنوا أعمارهم في خدمة السنة والتأليف فيها who spent all of his life all of his life working in the sunnah and working an author in this regard calling to the path of Allah giving victory to the عقيدة الصرفية fighting against innovation defending the sunnah of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said هو من العلماء المتميزيب he is from the unique noble scholars and he said his nobility has become famous amongst the general and the specific and then he said ولا شكا ولا شكا without a doubt without a doubt the losing of this individual الشيخ العباني because this statement عبد المحسن عباني was saying when he died he said the losing of this scholar is from the great calamities that has been fallen on this ummah and he said فنجزقه الله خيرا with good على ما قدمه and that which he has put forward in the efforts that he has done شيخبلع عثيمين سلب بقى him فاللي بقى عرفته That which I know of him شيخ العباني من خلال اجتماعي به when i met him هو قليل it was little that I met him شهم at the time it was never meant much but in a little time I had them each other only twice he said those little times يجب أن يتعرفه. يقول إنه حريس جدا على عمر ميسونا. هذا هو ما يجب أن يتعرفه. قليل أن أعرفه. أعرف أنه أنه ميسونا الذي يتعرف بشكل كبير. ومحاربة البدعة. تبقى الإنهاء. سواء كان في العقيدة. وإنه يكون بشكل عقيدة. أم في العمري أو أم في بشكل فقر. يقول أنه في حالة ما يتعرفه. when I saw that. يقول أم من خلال قراءتي لمؤلفاتي. ويقول when I read his books. فقد عرفت عنه ذلك. I came to realize what I saw from him in his works as well. وأنه ذو علم جم. He's a man of great knowledge. In Hadith. And then he said. رواية ودراية. His knowledge of Hadith is in terms of narration and the fiqh of the Hadith. الله ركب. He said that. الشيخ بالعثيم. وأن الله تعالى قد نفع فيه ما كتبه كثيرا من الناس. And that which he has written, Allah has benefited many people with it. In terms of knowledge. من حيث العلم. ومن حيث من هج. In terms of methodology. رحمه الله. شخل باله رحمه الله. Before he died. رحمة واسعة. He gave an advice of farewell. And this is exactly what he said. He said I advised my wife and my children and my friends. And everybody who loves me. If my death reaches them. That they make for me. يدعو لي بالمغفرات والرحمة. That they ask for me forgiveness and mercy. First of all. And he said. و الله يبقوا. And that they don't cry. And what? لَاَلَا لِيَحَتِنْ أُوْ بِسَوْتِنْ مُرْتَفِرَ. They don't wail basically. They will scream about my death. This is to my wife. This is to my children. This is to my friends. This is also to those who love me. Don't scream when you hear of my death. He said that's the first thing. The second wasiyah that I'm writing is. And you ajiloo. That they hasten my burial. فقلت لي أن أتعرف أخي و أخي و أخي و إلا إذا كان هناك محتوى لهم أن تقوم بأخذي في باريول هناك محتوى لهم أن يأتي و يفعل شيء ولكن إذا لم يكن هناك محتوى لا يكون هناك محتوى لتعرفهم فقلت لي باريول لتأكيدني بأخذي و قلت لي أن يريد ان أعمل في أحد أحدك بأخذي من أن يفعله بأخذي خضر أبو عبدالله يجب أن يفعله هو أخي و أخي و صديقي فمن يجب أن يفعله أن يعمل بأخذي يجب أن نضع هذا إلىه. نمبر ثلاثة. أريد أن أبقى في مكان أكبر لماذا لكي لا يضع من يحمل الجلازات؟ لذا الشخص الذي يجب أن يضع يجب أن يضع مني أنا ليس كبير و لا أستطيع أن أحاولهم و لذلك الشخص الذي قلت أنه لم يريد أنه لم يريد أنه يجب أن يبقى في محاولة أنه يريد أن يتبقى أنه يجب أن يتبقى في محاولة أنه يستطيع أن يتبقى في محاولة أنه يجب أن يتبقى في محاولة و أنه يجب أن يكون إلا مقبرة القديمة التي كانت المحاولة من المحاولة المحاولة و أنه يجب أن يتبقى في محاولة لأنه كانت محاولة أنه كانت محاولة أن الناس who were in it would not be brought out all the other burials were being changed and being used for something else and he said don't tell anyone outside the country when I die for my children let alone anyone else except after I've been taken to my grave or I've been taken to my burial the reason why is that this does not stare the people's emotions and it plays its role in wrong doings and that they oppose the Sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم I ask Allah SWT that I meet him and that he has forgiven me for my sins that which has passed and that which has to come and he said as for my library that I left behind سواء المكان منها مطبوع on any books that are written which are published أو مخطوطا or anything that are still manuscripts I haven't finished working because he was still writing all of it is a gift to the University of Medina لأن لي فيه ذكريات حسنة because I have good memories of Medina when I used to be there في الدعوة للكتاب والسنة when I used to call to the Kitab and the Sunnah over there وعلى منهج السلف الصالح and I used to call to the methodology of the pious predecessors يوم كنت مدرسة فيها in the days I used to be a teacher in the university I hope from Allah سبحانه وتعالى He said أن يفع بها روادها I ask Allah He benefits He said I hope Allah سبحانه وتعالى He benefits He said I hope Allah سبحانه وتعالى He benefits the students who come to the Jama'at to benefit from my works as he had benefited them from the days I used to be with them when I used to teach them then he concluded with the ayah او زعني أن أشكر نعمة كالتي أن أمت علي وعلى والدي وأن أعمل صالح انترضا وأصلح لي في ذرية إني تبتو إليك وإني من المسلمين شغلاصره دايد وانا ستري وانا الثاني وانا الشرورة بالجماد الآخر the year was 1420 it was in accordance to the Islamic the Gregorian calendar in 1999 and he was buried after Salat al-Ishaa and the sheikh's burial was done as he requested it was hastened and it was made fast for two reasons the first reason was he requested for this he asked his students and those around him to hasten his burial so they followed his advice and the second reason was because those days it was extremely hot so when he died on Isha they didn't make it reach the daytime because if it did people would burn and the heat would kill the people and even though many people were not told about it the sheikh's his burial was still large in number I ask Allah that he resurrects with the people with the people who worked the works he he made sure that he worked for in other words the professor Asalaam Sunnah and the علم the sheikh was called after sheikh al-Bali died they informed him they said the sheikh and this is his wasiah they read it on sheikh al-Bali that was advice the sheikh said something very powerful he did the sunnah when he was alive he followed the sunnah so much even when he was alive and now that he died he made sure that the sunnah was also followed in the way he gets buried and as you all know sheikh al-Nasir had a book written on how to the janazah of a muslim and made sure he followed each and every one of that and now we are going to conclude today and inshaAllah tomorrow we are going to start the book سبحانك اللهم بحمدك اشدو الله ستنفركم
