 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِيهِ أَيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُهُ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدوى الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وشدوى أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى today I want to talk about some of the benefits and the foeid in my journey to India as you all some of you might be aware of I traveled to India and I had come back a week ago and this journey was the best journey of my entire life the benefits that I saw the things that I came in contact with this journey for me I've never traveled a journey like it or close to it even my journey to Hajj wasn't as good as this one and I saw so many things which I cannot and I don't think I would be able to share everything of it I wrote over 200 benefits but I don't think I could go through all of them so I'll choose insha'Allah تعالى some of those foeid and the benefits which I saw insha'Allah تعالى the scholars the people of knowledge they will talk about their journeys their travels they will do this for example العلامة محمد الأمين الشانكيطيو he wrote a book about his رحلة إلى بيت الله الحرام his journey to the Kaaba and in that book he wrote so many benefits in it he also wrote another book called الريحلة إلى إفريقيا he's traveled to Africa الولاتي رحمه الله he has a journey in which he speaks about his traveling صديق حسنخان القنوجي he also has a رحلة to the Kaaba benefits that he wrote in it and the scholars they say إن لم تكونوا مثلهم فتشبهوا إن التشبها بالكرام فلاحوا if you can't be like them then copy them imitate them for verily imitating the righteous people it's a virtue itself so what I did was this journey I gathered together the things that I saw the people I came to contact with the advices that they gave me the things which I saw as a benefit the first إن شاء الله و تعالى point is why did I go to India and why this particular place العلامة صديق حسنخان القنوجي رحمه الله he mentions in his كتاب الحطة في ذكره في ذكره الصحاح الستة he says حملة العلم في الإسلام أكثرهم العجم the majority of the people who carried this knowledge are not the Arabs they are actually the foreigners this knowledge the majority of the people who passed it on who gathered it are actually not the Arabs they are who the non Arabs و ذلك من الغريب الواقع it's a fascinating strange thing in reality لأن العلماء الملة الإسلامية في العلوم الشرعية والعقلية أكثرهم العجم إلا في القليل النادر very little do you actually even find people who are Arabs who have become the first people in this particular field if you look at the Arabic language the person who is called the father of grammar is who سيبوه and سيبوه is who سيبوه is a Persian man today if you think of حديث who is the first person that you think of who comes to mind أليمام البخاري و رحمه الله أليمام البخاري is from Bukhara, Uzbekistan is from where? Uzbekistan so Arabs are actually not the overwhelming majority of people who passed on this knowledge but this particular place in India has the greatest significance in this knowledge of Hadith عبد الرحمن يحيى المعاليم I went to a place called Haiderabad Dakin Haiderabad Dakin is where عبد الرحمن يحيى المعاليم who is a Yemeni he stayed in he stayed in Haiderabad in a مكتبة called دار المعارف العثمانية till today is still the same it has all the manuscripts has so many books there عبد الرحمن يحيى المعاليم He wrote many books He says إلى محاذر اللكتر الذي أشفه which is called علم الرجال He says و هي لما جرا يتقاصرت أهم وهجر علم الرجال فقل من بكي يعتيني بكراءة كتพ الرجال or ن finger أما التعليف فأقل حتى أي قض اللاه想 الإمة بالعلم الخذي where بعد الله عز وجل للهند وعظمه لدائرة المعاري في كما سيته يقول رحمه الله في هذا 10 سنة يتحدث عن وقته وذلك على المتحدة من الناس من المتحدة عن العلم الرجال هناك little who give importance to this science to learning the chain of narration and the scholars of hadith little or even writing it or spreading it it's very literally said let alone authorship فأقل وأقل somebody to sit down and author a book in this science حتى أي قض الله until Allah gave life to He gave life to who الأمة العلم الحديث وعم الرجال والفضر في ذلك بعد الله عز وجل للهند the people of India الله woke them up سبحانه وتعالى and for them they don't want to stood up to look into the books of hadith وذلك many things I saw in my eyes وهي من العجب العجاب I saw people who read Sahih al-Bukhari like we read Arba'in al-Nawiyah every 3 to 2 days they finish Sahih al-Bukhari they have next to their pillows and insha'Allah I'm going to mention some of their stories the speed and the fluency of how they read Sahih al-Bukhari without تلاعثم without any hardship is a great fascination so he said حتى أي قض الله الأمة بعلم الحديث this knowledge of hadith and its men and its sciences these people of India الله سبحانه وتعالى he awoken this science through them the same is the statement of فضيلة الأستاذ محمد عبد العزيز الخولي he has a kitab called مفتاح السنة I mentioned ولا يوجد في شعوب الإسلامية على كثرتيا واختلاف أجناسها من وفى الحديث قصته من العناية في هذا العصر مثل إخواننا مسلمي الهند أولئك الذين وجد بينهم حفاظ للسنة وداريسون لها على نحم ما كان تدرس في القرن الثالث حرية في الفهم ونظر في الأسانيت he says that you won't find in the Muslim population today a people in their large amount and in the essence who give importance to عين ملحديث as it deserves to be given مثل إخواننا مسلمي الهند the way our brothers in India have the way that they have given time and effort to it أولئك الذين وجد بينهم حفاظ للسنة you find till today people have memorized كتب الستة بأسانيت who know it from the top of their head وداريسون لها على نحم ما كان تدرس في القرن الثالث who teach it like it was taught in the third generation حرية في الفهم their understanding and their pondering on the book is amazing وانظر في الأسانيت and the way they look at the chain of narration الشيخ رشيد رضى الشيخ رشيد رضى is who he's the man who woke الشيخ الاسلام of our time محمد ناصر يدينة للباني رحم الله who gave him the desire to want to know علم الحديث he saw from this man الشيخ رشيد رضى he used to have a majalla that al bani used to read and from that al bani liked the knowledge of hadith he said ولولا عناية اخواننا علماء الهند بعلوم الحديث في هذا العصري لقوضي عليها بالزوال من أمصار الشرق if it wasn't for our brothers from India the love and the passion that they gave to knowledge of hadith at this particular time لقوضي عليها بالزوال من أمصار الشرق then the science of hadith will have published I'll work on it الشيخ رشيد رضى is saying this تقيو دينة الهلالي المغربي ورحمه الله تقيو دينة الهلالي he traveled to who he traveled to India as well and he sat there and he took knowledge from the scholars of India and they said that تقيو دينة الهلالي he would speak the English language he would speak the Arabic language and he spoke Urdu he studied it الشيخ تقيو دينة الهلالي and he kept on speaking في دينه الاليه السلفي ليس القصد要 نذكر في هذا المقام جميع علماء السلفيين والحنفاء من أهل الهند وإن عددهم وللهم الحمد أكثر من أن يحصا ومن جال في أرض الهند الواصف من كراشي ويتبعون كراشي ومومباي غربا إلى آخر بالشرق ومن جبالها ملايا شمالا إلى آخر مدراس ونواخيها جنوبا يجد هؤلاء علماء الأبراري في كل سقرة وتحت كل نجم جمعات أهل الحديث حنفاء أيضاً أنت تسألوا إلى كراتشة، مومبي، حيد رباد، تسألوا إلى تسألوا إلى إيديا كل مكان that you go and you will find the people of Hadith present but will you find every one of them is there what are they doing? preserving, observing, looking one of the things that shocked me was I went to مباركة فور I went to where? مباركة فور and when I went there I met Sheikh Abdel Rahman ابن عبيد الله عبيد الله ابن عبيد الله الرحماني والمبارك فوري his father is عبيد الله his father is عبيد الله الرحماني والمبارك فوري is the شارح and the explainer of the كتاب مشكات المصوبيح he explained it and عبيد الرحمان ابن عبيد الله his father is from one of the four people الشخص الرحمان والله he said he is the first one who is the four people الشخص الرحمان he said the first one is the second one is محمد الأميل الشانقيطيو the third one is محمد تقيديني هلالي who I mentioned تقيديني هلالي and the third one is who his father ابيد الله الرحماني والمبارك فوري I went to his house and every week he reads Bukhari finishes it his مباركة عائز of باري مسلم أبي داوو ترميبي ابن ماجر النسائي ومواطع مارك سولاني داري مي anyone who comes to his house and looks at it his house is not worth more than 300 dollars everything that's in it and you look at the whole house that he lives in so then passion and the love and the drive that they have علم الحديث لا شك anyone who goes to the land will see it books that are not taught in no other places except you find it taught there as we would study 40 another thing that I wanted to mention is a مقدمة before I go into the benefits is الإجازة الحديثية having chain for hadith and taking a chain from yourself to the prophet is it something that once you do نعم it's something that we should give a lot of importance to الإمام البخاري and مسلم both narrated and this is the chain of Bukhari هشار مبن عورو narrated from his father عورو تبن زبيرن who narrated from عبد الله بن عمر بن عاص and I want you to remember the chain which is هشار مبن عورو narrated from عورو إبن زبير who narrated from him عبد الله بن عمر بن عاص that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يسأل إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزاع أن ينتزعه من العباد ولكن يقبض العلم بقض العلماء حتى إذا لم يبقي علم أن يتخذ الناس ورؤوسا جهالا فسؤولوا فأفتو بغير العلم فضلوا وضلوا this hadith is famous is the hadith which the prophet said Allah does not take knowledge from the people but he takes knowledge by taking the people of knowledge حتى إذا لم يبقي علم until there is no scholar left on the face of this earth what happens إتخذ الناس ورؤوسا جهالا the people they take the ignorance as their what as their scholars and their reference point فسؤولوا then these ignorance are asked فأفتو بغير العلم and they give verdict without no knowledge فأضلوا they misguide themselves and they misguide others pay attention to this hadith this is the wording of Bukhari and the senate of Bukhari and Muslim الإمام البخاري has another zyada another wording sorry إمام المسلم has another رواية that Bukhari doesn't have and this wording إذا بالأسود عن عوروة عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها والعوروة when narrated this hadith from عبدالله من عمره عائشة ستهم فلما حدثت عائشة when I told عائشة after this hadith إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزعن عائشة ستهم أعظم هدانك they said really عوروة عاصه this from the prophet so she was reluctant in that regard قالت she said to her she said أحدثتك أنه سمع عن نبيها صلى الله عليه وسلم يقولوا هذا did he really tell you that the prophet said this قال عوروة عوروة now he did she said okay when ويني went by next year عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she said to عوروة she said to him ask him now عبد الله من عمرو عاصه سعوروة عوروة ويني he went and he asked عبد الله من عمرو عاصه after the hadith فحدثته he told him the hadith he told him the hadith as he had told him the yid before exactly word for word when he had told him عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she said ما أحسيمه إلا قد صدقة أراه the way I see it is that he actually heard this from the prophet لم يزيد فيه شيئاً ولم ينقص he did not reduce anything from it nor did he want he didn't add anything to it and then this concept of hadith looking at the chain and checking things out and verifying things this is something even our mother عائشة did and the chain brothers is our religion الإسنادو من الدين ولولا الإسنادو لقالا من شاء من شاء if it wasn't for the chain anyone would have claimed what they they would have claimed what they wanted ولولا الإسنادو لقالا من شاء من شاء and it's fascinating because this that I have in my hand right now is the mud of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to use this right now if you hear in the habith box mud when you hear a when you hear mud that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم صحيح مسلم اللهم بارك لنا في صاعنا اللهم بارك لنا في مدنا when the prophet said this is the mud that the prophet used to use and he would this would be the scaling for the zakat with your brothers even the mud has come through a chain what did it come through ها حفل the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم وإن له وإن له the senate for it الشيخ عبيض الله شيخ عبيض الله he's a senate for it for the mud الشيخ عبيض الشيخ عبيض الله عبيض الله المبارخ فوره المبارخ فوره الرحماني just to show you that when I read when the sheikh when he gave me the mud it brought taste to my eyes because it shows us مزداق قوري تعالى the truth of the statement of Allah إن نحن نتزل نذكره وإن له لحافظه that we have said under Quran we're gonna protect it if even an Arab is not gonna look after it who's Allah gonna make it look after and not Arab but the religion will be protected مشارقة الأرضي ومظاريبي or wherever it may be it will be protected the wane is protected how do you think a word and a narration will be protected let alone the Quran that comes through حد التواتر and has come through more to true narration ولي ذلك أن مام الشافعي we said مثلو اللي يطلو الحديثة بلا إثناد لتمثل حطر the one who wants to get a hadith without a chain of narration is like a person who's trying to gather what is he trying to gather twigs or sticks that he wants to use fire for but in the night if you try to pick up sticks at night time you're most likely gonna pick up animal feces and then you can't see in dark ولي ذلك المام الشافعي we used to say الإثناد وصلاحة المؤمن that the chain is the weapon of the believer فإذا لم يكون معه وصلاحة فبأي شيء يقاتل if you don't have a chain then what are you gonna find with it that's your weapon another thing I wanted to speak about is شهوة العلول وجهود there's this new desire that you find people wanting to have a chain of narration and wanted to take a senate in a hadith but they just want to take it as long as it's short they don't care who they take it from and this is something that one needs to be very careful especially when it comes to taking chains you should try to make it you should try to make sure that you take it from people of the sunnah ولي ذلك محمد المصير he used to say إنها العلمة دينون فنضروا عما تأخذون دينكم this is a religion look at you take your religion from don't put into your chain somebody from from here will be that so you see somebody travel to the land and then if the person who he's taken the senate from is a person of innovation he would still take it he doesn't care when you can find that chain from a person of the sunnah ولي ذلك محمد المصير he used to say لم يكونوا يسألون عن الإسناد at the early generation they never used to ask about the chain فلما وقعت الفتنة when the fitnah أكد من أهل بدأ started to come قالوا سموا لنا لجانكم they started to tell the people name your men for us فيومضروا الهل of the sunnah ويأخذوا حديثهم they will take the hadith ويومضروا الهل بدأ but if the person turns out to be from the people of innovation فلا يأخذوا حديثهم their hadith will be rejected and it wouldn't be it wouldn't be taken ولي ذلك if you look at some of the scholars they would even be called people of the sunnah or the word Salafi would be used for them because of the fact that the hadith would be taken from them مثلا هو ألمام عريب العمر الدار القطني رحمه الله who died in 385 هجرية ألمام الدار القطني ما شيء أبغض إلي من علم الكلام I hate علم الكلام I'm not a person who loves to go into innovation العلم الكلام ألمام الدهبي he placed a commentary on this and what he said he said لم يدخلوا الرجل أبدا في علم الكلام دار القطني لم يدخلوا علم الكلام ولا الجدال I never used to argue with people of innovation ولا خاذ في ذلك I never indulged into this matter بل كان سلفية ألمام الدهبي he said بل كان سلفية ألمام الدهبي رحمه الله is who he's a great Imam in what حريث and Allah bless me سبحانه وتعالى in my journey to be one to be with one of the مشايخ and the people of knowledge of India who graduated from the University of Medina PhD and he is تحقيق was on the kitab العيلة الواريدة للدهبي رحمه الله me and him were together everywhere and some of you if you watched the video he's with me so humble reading the روايات with me but he has تحقيق on the kitab العيلة الواريدة by who when I sat with him and I asked him about Hadith والله I was amazed with him I was amazed with him I was shocked about his knowledge of علن علن and what he knows about about Hadith and علن is a science which is very detailed and it's complicated من الله طائف from the things that are very about me was that when I went there a sheikh who took knowledge from me his name is قد فضل الرحمن and Madani who took knowledge from تقيدوني هلالي he told me that تقيدوني هلالي when he came to India رحمه الله he said كان قد هجر روايات عن شيوخ من أهل البلا تقيدوني هلالي when he came to India he would ask about the person is he from the people of the sunnah or not if he turned out to be from the people of innovation he would not take a رواية from them even if his chain of narration was very short ولم يروي so he took it from him these two words they were Guru Philosophy of tradition they were the Western I mentioned something of the哭كر of candle okay he changed I mentioned he never و بيني و ندير حسين الدهلوي هو عبد الرحمن who took from his father عبيد الله المباركة فوري who took from عبد الرحمن المباركة فوري who took from ندير حسين الدهلوي there was one sheikh I met his name was مضحر حسن الأزهري who graduated from جامعة أزهر 1960 he told me he has between if I took from him it would be him مضحر and he is sheikh و ندير حسين الدهلوي so I would have had two people between ندير حسين and him but now it's longer than that and he told me he doesn't give to anyone and I'll tell you something very fascinating later insha'Allah regarding this story the second person who he took from شخصيديه who he was محمد محمد و محمد الأنصاري عن أبيه عن جدر and his father who is محمد الأنصاري is the person who is حق من عبد الرحمن ابنو حسن ابنو محمد عبد الرحمن ساعد ابن عتيق تقفن so these are the two people from the sunnah he took from but in that case there is a قصة اللطيف as well that قادي عياض his name is عياض ابنو موسى ابنو عياض قادي عياض صاحبو كتاب الشفا he wrote a letter to محمد ابنو عمر الهز still is a معتز曖 ذا مخشل was a person who he had قادي عياض and he used to call to this so قادي عياض a letter to مشوري asking him for all his مربويات all of his narrations this man محمود ابنو عمر is a is a person the has a لدينا الكثير من الفيديو ، وصفحان الله one of the most shocking things that even I found is التعرض لجنبات النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم even he insulted the Prophet ﷺ في جوتي قولوا يتعالى وإنه لا ذكروا لا قولوا يتعالى وما هو بقولي شاعر when he comes to that ayah I think it was that ayah he insulted the Prophet ﷺ على كل حال قادر إياد روز تلاته to him asking him for his مرويات the Makshari refused what did he do? he refused to give his مرويات قادر إياد this is what he said المؤرخ شهاب الديل ابل المقرئة المسانه he mentioned in his كتاب أزحار الرياض في أقبال القادر إياد he mentioned in it وسمعت غيروا واحد بما لقيتوا يخبروا أن القادر إياد لما بلغوا ومتناعوا زمخشري when he had قادر إياد هاد زمخشري refused to give him his narrations what did he say الحمد لله الذي لم يجعل عليه يدن لمبتدعن أو فاسق أو نحو هذا من الإلارات والله عالم الحمد لله حمد لله أن أن الإلارات أو فاسق أو شخص like that لا يجب أن يتحدث عني حمد لله ليست في قادر إياد هذا ما أحاول أن أقول هو أن يجب أن يجب أن يتحدث عن الإلارات لتكون من قادر إياد as much as he can avoid it now أنا now going to go into the benefit that I came across and the things that I found very beneficial the first thing that is وقفى مع هذا القلب they are equal to before you travel before you try to do anything good before you want to gain knowledge you have to make sure that you stand with your heart and you question your heart and you question from your heart two things does it have inside it شهوة and does it have inside it شبهة and if it does and you find that it contains any of those two illnesses that you worked clean it that you worked towards clean it and سبحان الله when you travel brothers and you go through hardship you start to realize the hidden defects in your heart that were hiding inside it ولي ذلك ابن القيم سيزيني زنونية he said be careful about the hidden defects that are inside your heart خرجت علي قم out and when does it come out times of hardship and difficulties it will start coming out but you will be brothers you won't see this illness in your heart and when you start seeing it you start seeing when the difficulties start hitting and problems start to occur you start to realize it and when your heart is ill brothers all of this traveling and all of this قيد that you're running after all of this good that you're going to achieve اللهم سهر من عبدالله يقول نور حرام is prohibited for knowledge to enter heart and in it is something Allah dislikes how is Allah going to give to you how is Allah going to give you سبحان و تعالى when inside your heart is something which He dislikes ولي دارك I remind you all brothers when the Prophet ﷺ came out and he was going to call to the message of Islam always the first thing Allah commanded him to do he said وثيابك here is one of the تفسير of the ayah what does it mean clean your heart ولي دارك الله سنين القرآن سأصرف عن آياتي الذين يتكبرون في الأرض بغير الحق because they have illness in their heart ولي دارك سبحان و تعالى ولي دارك سبحان و تعالى أحريمهم فهم القرآن I will prevent them from understanding the Qur'an محمد بيوسف الفريابه أمنعوا قلوبهم من التدبور في أمره I will prevent their heart from pondering over my command إبن الحاجنس كتاب المدقل هيسيس و معلوم أن بعض المتكبيرين يحفظوا القرآن ولكنهم منعوف ولي دارك هو المطروب يجب ان يجب أن يجدنا أشخاص الذين يتكبرون القرآن ولكنهم لا يتكبرون ولي دارك أصبحت قدرة أعرف أن أحد يجب أن يتكبرون القرآن أعلم القرآن وكيف ان يتكبرون منها لأثناء أعلم ماهذا الوحيد the first one is to memorize it the second one is to understand it and the third one is to understand it يتفاقون it حتى يمكنهم أن يفهم it و يمكنهم أن يتفاقه و يساعدها منه The second thing that I benefited from my journey is إن الفرصة إذا لم تنتهيزها صارت غصة The opportunities that come if you don't benefit from it It will become a thorn in your neck You will later be so hurt by the opportunities that missed you والله يساعدها because I missed a meeting الشيخ دهير دين المبارك فور رحمه الله And when I went to India and I went and I was told that he used to be in the seat He used to sit here, he used to be here It hurt me so much because he had the shortest chain of narration in صحة المسلم He had the highest Islam in صحة المسلم Then I made a statement إن الفرصة إذا لم تنتهيزها If you do not benefit from the opportunity when it comes صارة غصة It will be something that will strangle you in the neck It will hurt you deeply و لذلك ابن القيم رحمه الله يساعد ينبغي للإسلامي ينبغي للإنساني It is required from the person أن يعرف شرف زمانه To know the importance of your time و قدر وقته أن the importance of your time فلا يضيع منه لحظة في غير قربة Don't waste a second of your time except you get closer to Allah by it و يقدم فيه الأفضل و في الأفضل And do the thing that's best whether it be a speech or action محمد عبدالباقي البزاز He says مأضيقت صاعته من عملي في الله وين أولا عيبين محمد عبدالباقي He said I did not waste a split second of my time with playing around, joking, I didn't أبو الوفاق العقيل Who authored the كتابة الفنون His book is 800 volumes He said إن لا يحل لي أضيع صاعته من عملي It is not permissible for me And it's not something I should do I'm wasting my time for anything Some of the scholars, they were so deep in their time Even when they were eating They would make sure that they benefit from their time It was mentioned from أحمد إبل سليمن المرقاسي رحمه الله Who died in a 200-something يقرق القراءات في حالة أكله The Qur'an, the Qur'an would be recited on him And he would tell the students Read the Qur'an only و لكن في حالة أكله when he was eating خوفا من بايع وقته في غيرها He wouldn't want to waste his time at that particular moment إبنه تيمية الجد إبنه تيمية his grandfather He would what? He would ask somebody to stand outside the toilet إذا دخل الخلاق لقضاء الحاجة قال لبعض من حوله إقرأ في هذا الكتاب و رفع صوتك He would say Read from this book Raise your voice I want to hear what you're saying And he would make somebody stand outside and read So he can benefit from this time و لذلك إبنه بيره He said و الوقت أنفسه ما أرنيت بخفضه و أره أسلام عليكم و بيعه The time is the most valuable thing brothers And it's the thing that is most wasted و لذلك at the poet he said مالي إذا جدبتها صايته أكيب He said مالي إذا جدبتها صايته أكيبا لنعلان أم بيته He was an old man He grew old So what happened was He started to pull the rope from the well And he said مالي إذا جدبتها صايته Why is it that when I pull the rope from the well صايته I go Why do I make that noise أكيبا لنعلان أم بيته What is it that's heavy on me That's pushing me down ليتة و هالي أن فعر شيئا ليته ليت الشبابا بوعة فشتريته And he goes later If only I was given the time to go back And then he says to himself ليتة و هالي أن فعر شيئا ليته ليتا But there's later benefit to you And then he says ليتة شبابا بوعة فشتريته I wish that youth There was something that was bought I can go to the market and buy it That's the حقيقة Now he realizes Because it was the time he was young We just grabbed the rope Pull it all out The bucket would come out Now he's gone old Everything's gone The efforts, the strength The ability is gone And that's the truth We're lying You realize When you grow old This is what's going to happen to you When he started to get the poetry He also said تَمَنَّيْتَ أَنْ تُمْسِيَ فَقِيْهَاً مُنَاضِرًا بغيرِ عَنَانِلْ وَالجُنُولُ فُنُونُو تَمَنَّيْتَ يُوْشِ And you want تَقُونَ فَقِيْهَاً مُنَاضِرًا You want to be a jurist Who debates Who silences people Who is eloquent in his speech بغيرِ عَنَائِنْ without exerting any efforts وَالجُنُولُ فُنُونُو And To be insane comes in different ways In different forms That's a form of craziness To be crazy comes in different ways Because wanting to be a person Who is eloquent And asked مَشَّالَّا فَقِيْهَا يَسُوْهَا الشِيْخَالِجُمُ شَيْخَهَاً And he came Every matter Who brings the call of root Which Imam said it Which book of Hadith Everything But this came through what? Right? I remember the last I took him to the airport So I mean him all alone in the lift I asked him, Sheikh How can a person strengthen His knowledge of Fiqh And he looked at me and he said بِجُوْهِتِم And I said, of course You want it? Exact effort I'm done I looked at him but he said صحيح It's an answer we know But we think we're going to somehow Find something else صحيح That's all right And Imam said إضاعة الوقت أشد من الموت This statement touched me I got it from his كتابة الفوائي He said إضاعة الوقت Wasting time brothers Is what? أشد من الموت Is worse than death لأن إضاعة الوقت تقطعك عن الله Why? Because wasting time And destroying time ستتساعدك من الله And the Day of Judgment But if you die You're only disconnected From your family And the Jum'ah Pay attention to that If you waste time And you forsake time إضاعة الوقت أشد من الموت أشد من الموت Yeah If anybody's cars Blocking another car Please move your car بارك الله فيه And Astra BDO8 OVP Move your car please So if you waste your time It's worse than death Because wasting time This connection from Allah And the Day of Judgment Whereas death This connection only From your family And your people سبحان الله When I went to India I came across صديق حسن خار رحمة الله When he left from بوبال Where he was from And he made his way To a حج رحمة الله صديق حسن خار On his way He wrote with his own hand صارِ مُمُكِف ردِ على السُسُكِ لبن عبدالهدي He wrote it all On the boat There's no flights And things like that So he made it by boat So when he did it رحمة الله He wrote it with his hand And look what he said He said ولم أضيع He said I did not waste زمن رقوب البحر عبثا The times I was on The ocean He said I didn't even waste a bit And on the way back رحمة الله From جدة I'm a jidda However you want to say it His way back What did he write on his hand? He wrote on his hand The Kitab سُنَنِ دَارِمِ He wrote it with his hand من نُسْقَةِ النَّفِسَةِ استعارَها من المِمِزَةِ He got a good copy of سُنَنِ دَارِمِ And he wrote it The original copy That he's trying to copy from It's not his There's no printing Back in those days If you took a person's book You'd have to copy it from them And give it back to them The whole book You have to write it down Write it So he benefited from that opportunity Making his own copy of what? Making a copy of سُنَنِ دَارِمِ And this copy of his That he wrote That he's copying from Is taken from مِرزا أمير بِكْصَهُ Unless I'm saying it wrong Who has the ijaza of يعقوب الدهل ويرحمه الله He copied it And on it is شهوري الله دهل ويستعليقات On the sides Which later When صدق حسن خان Becomes the Amir And he marries the princess He later copies All of these planets And it's الحمد لله مطمع متداول He wrote all of that And look what he said وَلَمْ أُبَيْئِ عِزَبَلَ رُكُوبِ الْبَحْرَ عَبَتَانَ I did not waste my time On the ocean A minute رحمه الله رحمة واسعة Also another thing that I realized brothers On my journey is ما خالط الناس وحد If you mix up with people And you're always with people You will forget the promise that you made with Allah And the covenant that was there Being with people too much And always hanging around with people It will make you lose everything When Allah was speaking about the story of Maybe Allah Ibrahim What did he say فَلَمْ مَعْتَزَلَهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّيْ وَهَبْنَا لَهُدِسْ حَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبِ وَكُلْنَ جَعَنَا نَرِيَّا Maybe Allah Ibrahim He called these people He called them for so long When they didn't listen What did he do فَلَمْ مَعْتَزَلَهُمْ He left them And he walked away from them Hanging around with people Always being around people Is something that A person should try to avoid And that he can Scholars they wrote books about العزلة To just leave the people And walk away from them Maybe Allah Ibrahim Musa ألوك بر الله سلباهم وإني عثتوا بربي وربكم أنت رجمون وإن لم تؤمنوا لي فَعَتَزِلُونَ I'm free of myself And walk away from you Scholars they used to say وليلا هيدروا قائل ملعيشو إلا القفل والمستحو Real life is inside a locked room With a key sticking out of it وغرفة تصفقها الرياحو And a room that the wind is blowing through it لا صخبت فيها ولا رياحو ولا صياحو And there's no noise And there's no nothing Just you and your أستحيش ملعيشو What's life except this? A room that's locked It's got the lock inside it You're in there by yourself The wind is blowing through it All you can hear is the wind And you're by yourself أليما مدن القيّم يسد رحمه الله أطلق قلبك في ثلاثة مواطن Look for your heart in three places عند السماء القرآن When you're listening to the Qur'an Look for your heart Is your heart there? وفي مجالسي ذكن And in the gatherings of Knowledge وفي أوقات الخلوة And at times when you're alone يقول فإلا تجدوا في هذه المواطن If you can't find your heart in these three places فسلي الله Ask Allah أن يمن عليك بقلب فإن ولا قلب Ask Allah to give you heart For very you have no heart And then in other words Your three places that you should be أصلا Where are they? سماء القرآن Listen to the Qur'an وفي مجالسي ذكري وفي أوقات الخلوة شعيب من حربه He said دخلت على مالك من مغول وهو في داره من كوفك جالس وحده شعيب من حربه He said I entered into a house مالك من مغول Was there And he was alone in his house فقلت I said to him أما تستوحش في هذه الداخر Don't you find loneliness in this room? He said يستمالك من مغول أما تستوحش في هذه الداخر Are you not finding loneliness in this room? You buy yourself nobody's with you فقاله He said ما كنت أظنه أحدا يستوحش مع الله أزوجل How can somebody find loneliness when he's with Allah? أميد الله أميد النبكة الله How can I find loneliness? سالبنا عبد الله He said سمعتو الفضيل من عياد رحمه الله يقول فضاهد فضيل من عياد إنسين كفى بالله وحبا It's enough for Allah to love you أما تلاظ الله وفي القرآن مؤنسا And to find a companionship in the Qur'an و بالموت وعظن And death to be a good reminder for you إذان The Qur'an is your friend The Sunnah is your friend و لذلك The poet he said اتخذ الله صاحبا و ذالي الناس الجانبا Take Allah as your friend Close companion و ذالي الناس الجانبا Push the people to the side What? Push that? People to the side و لذلك جعفر ابن عمران إستعالبي He said سمعتو السماك سماك سي كتب إلينا صاحبو إلانا A friend of us wrote a letter to us And he wrote إنه الحمد لله الحمد أما بعضه فإن الناس كانوا دواءة يتداوى به It was a time that the people were cured And they would cure you فأصبعوا ده And today they become illness لا يقبلوا دواءة They don't accept the cure ففرأ منهم Then run away from the people فرارك من الأسد The way that you will run away from the lion و تخذي الله تعالى مؤميسا And take Allah as your friend And your companion و السلام عليكم And you finish the letter إبراهما النخعير He said لتو مغيرة من مقصب He said to him أببعي He said to him تفقه لا نفق ثم مع تزين And then leave the people لا نفق And then leave the people And then the poet He said أعزم مكاني في الدنيا صارل جو سابحين و خير جليس في الزمان الكتابو The best place to be is a fast horse ممعنى في الجهان و خير جليس And the best thing to sit with is في الزمان الكتابو To be in the gathering And to be in a room And to be by yourself with a book The best place to be in this dunya is on a fast horse و خير جليس And the best thing to sit next to and to accompany you is in this timing that we live in is what is a Kitabu Another thing brothers And this is true because when I went to عبد الرحمن رحمة الله his house عبد العلمة عبد الرحمان رحمة الله I said شك you live in this house Who lives with you He said I'm a Wahmen So I live alone I said شك so what about Who helps you on anything And Allah He said إن الله معنا الله سبحانه وتعالى is with us And he's very old And سبحانه وتعالى I said شك Did you meet the علماء of your time Who did you meet He said شك ألباني was my teacher in the Jamiah in the Jamiah in the Jamiah in the Jamiah in the Jamiah I said مشال I want your علاقة with him He said One day in the classroom I was sitting and he called me شك ألباني called me And he said to him Are you married He said نعم I'm married So شك ألباني Under the table He said He bought out his Kitab أهداف with Zifath And he gave it to me He said Read this book So you can be a good husband And then he said Do you know how to pray properly And I said I studied it with my father He said Take Sifah Salat in the Nabi So you can learn a course in the Sibna I said Who else did you meet He said محمد المين شقر was my teacher I said Mashallah When did you benefit from him He said One day he was in the classroom when he was teaching us and medic face came in محمد المين شقر was teaching And who came in medic face came in And as محمد المين شقر was teaching medic face came in He told him Sit down Sit down Listen to the class And he carried on his death And then علاف محمد المين شقر طيو He talked about the rights that the people have on the leader and the leader has on the people and the responsibilities that are on him and that he should fulfill When he finished his does He said to medic face So you're now allowed to leave Now you're allowed to go and medic face And sat down attentive when you listen to العلام محمد ألمين شقر طيو رحل مهو الله I said شيخ If there's one thing that you could say that you took from all of these علمات that you met was the thing that stuck up for you What was it? He said اخلاص How since he each and every one of them one ابنو بانس محمد المين شقر طيو محمد ناصر ديلا All of those which I met he said it was sincere for this This was what they believed them And it was sincere for it الفائدة يا إخوة Another فائدة is لا يستنك فعلي استقامة ميمان دونهم These colors what you saw what I saw with them is if I was to say something to them they will listen to me attentively And some of them when I told them things they bought their pens and their papers out and they wrote it العبدو ضعيف But they want arrogant to benefits whatever they had And this is something what you could say it just increases your love and your respect for these colors سعيد ملو جبير And he said لا يزالو رجلو عالمان A person remains a scholar and he will forever be a scholar ما تعلم as long as he carries on learning فإذا تركت تعلم when he leaves of seeking knowledge and learning وظن أن أن he thinks that he And he's gained knowledge وكتفى بما عنده And he pleased with what he has فو أجهل ما يكون he's the most ignorant of people ولي ذاك والله وأن the قص that's شرع عضر رحمان تهود me وزاك he said I saw الباني sit in the درس بحمد أمين شرق إيه وعليكم سلام he said I saw العلم الباني ورحم حرم مدري sit in the mist of the درس of بحمد أمين شرق إيه I take notes مثل I saw that happened he sat down and he took notes رحم الله ولي ذاك the poet he says وليس العام طول السؤال وإنما طلين this is not the one who asked وإنما وراد what it is تمام العام طول السكوكوك عالم it's the one who is who is silent upon IGLOS for so long الحميد عبد الله زبيخ الشيخ البخاري وتلميد الإمام الشافعي ويسأل صحبت الشافعية من مكة I befriended الإمام الشافعي ويسأل من مكة إلى مصر to Egypt فكون to أستفيد من him I was benefiting from him المسائل I was benefiting from so many things وكان يستفيدو من لي الحلية and he would benefit حلية from me another what he would take it from me أحمد من حب لي يسأل قال لن الشافعي أحمد the student شافعي is the teacher he said شافعي is that to us أن تم أعلم بالحلية من me you know the حلية of the Prophet صلاعي صلاعي صلاعي فإذا صح عندكم الحلية فقول لنا حتى أقوم به you guys know the حلية more than I do so فقول لنا say to us حتى أقوم بي تلقي لحلية صلاعي I'll take it from me هذا إمام الشافعي و أبل هم ذلك كله something bigger than all of that is نبي الله يحمد صلاعي صلاعي و السلامة قراء و رسولي الله صلاعي صلاعي على أبي read what on you لم يقوم لدينا كفر بلا للكتاب الله told me read on أبي and the school is they took from this اللي يمتني عال فاضر من الأخض عن المفضولي قاعدة the school is took from this is that the person who is high in station and high in rank he should not prevent himself from taking from somebody who's lower than you might take from them what you know and this is something that you see from those really man that they took from each other they took from each other next benefit that I took from إخواني is that if a person lives and takes knowledge on والله they're going to see فقر and جر poverty and hunger all of these really man none of them did we see them living in a lavish life their life and their who was very simple and their lifestyle was very سبحان الله today you look at the people in the UK and you look at how they're running around trying to get money and everything and one of the things that shocked me is brothers you have a 95 job you get money in your account you got so much money save his account and etc do you know that all that can take away from you the hunger is a dry bread the poverty says والجوع والجوع يوطراد بالرغي في اليابيسي فعلا ما تقتل حسرتي ووساوساوسي حسرتي والحنغة يمكن يكون سمبلي يوطراد with the dry bread لحصول that it needs وذلك I was reading the tarjama when I was there in جامع سرفية منارس that القادي عبدالوهاب البغدادي who's the author of the كتاب النضائر and there's another he's American scholar he's a book قواعي الفقية and he also has another book تلقين في الفق الماريكي that بغدادي يبقى these bags and he left بغدادي 200 people came with him to leave بغدادي and he turned around and he looked at the people of بغدادي and he said يا أهلا بغدادي the people of بغدادي I would have stayed with you if only you can give me a bread every day I would have stayed with you if only you can give me a bread every day I'm leaving students from بغدادي who they themselves didn't have anything so he said if I can get a bread or something to eat I would have stayed but I can't but he thought he could have the poet he said وعلم بأن العلم ليس ينالوه and remember that knowledge will not be gained by a person whose aspiration is من هم وف مطع من او من بثي a person whose aspiration is what food clothing فحرس لي تبلغه فيه حضا نوافرة نوافرة سطايف to gain a great portion in knowledge وهجو اللخ الطيبة المنابي وغلسي and leave off the good sleeps that you wanted leave off the knowledge and wake up early morning if you're thinking about what am I going to eat later what I enjoy knowledge is not for you وليال كلم مش لا يطلب هذا العم أحد بالمال وعزت النفسي فيفلح ولكن من طلب بذلة بذلة النفسي وضيت العيش وحرمة العلم أفلح شايف اي we said no one seeks knowledge to gain money and to be honorable him never succeed in that but the person who seeks knowledge with humiliation and having a hard life and honoring knowledge that person who succeed in gaining knowledge وكذا وليالك كل ما يجب أن تحتفوا هو what as the prophet عليه سلم مالا آدم ويعا إن شارر that the slave does not feel a utensil worse than his own stomach that's the worst thing to fill بحسب بلو آدم enough for the human being is what وكلاة ويقل نصود خل all that you need from food is that which will make your back straight it's really what you need from like for us it's what our cause make sure however a person becomes فقير these scholars in India knows which I met however they never asked anything and they had the إزة النفس with all of that which قليل يد whatever they had they were honorable they didn't ask anyone and they didn't want anything from anyone لذلك سفيان أبلو عيين he said كنت قل أوتيت فهم القرآن I was given the understanding of the فلما قبلت الصور الله when I accepted the صور is a what the gift for the leader من أبي جعفر جعفر من صور when he gave me the gift the money صريب to الله تقدر أنستاني وانت القرآن وانت صنف for me when I accepted the money my understanding of the القرآن with meaning I should have done this genuinely for who's sake الله to me say اللا also the thing that brother benefited was تواضر of the علمان and the humility of these people and how for they work every time they went to a He mentioned he's a story of عبد جلبار the ورحمة عبد جبار وانه يأتي إلى دله وانه wanted to go to ندي الحسير الدهلوي ندي الحسير الدهلوي هو ندي الندي الحسير الدهلوي سيد الغمان يقوله الشيخ القل في القل وانه came to the train station that the British built وانه got there an old man was waiting for him and he said to him he saw his appearance and he walked towards him and when he walked towards him he said to him who are you and he said I'm a man and I want to go to the masjid by ندي الحسير الدهلوي I came there to him the old man said to him okay give me your stuff he took all the stuff and he put it in his back and when he put it in all his back he took it to the masjid for him and he walked out so when he came he put all his stuff he was so excited he went to the masjid and he said where is ندي الحسير الدهلوي سيد الغمان I want to meet him they said he was the man who was carrying your stuff the man who carried all of that for you and bought it to the masjid is him ندي الحسير الدهلوي if you're looking for him so the man cried and he ran back and when he got he reached the sheikh and he grabbed him and he said to him حفظك الله why did you do this and he said that يوم الله و يوم الآخل فَلْ يُقْرِمْ ضَيْفَا you know the hadith out of 40 if one of you is not a true believer unless he is honest he is what unless he is honest he is yes another thing brothers that I benefited there is نعمة الترحيد the blessings of that الترحيد I never saw any place the sheikh has reached the quima the pinnacle of that place the sheikh there is too much the Hindus and what they worship they worship the rats they worship cows they worship just about everything and it's ajeeb a taxi driver is driving a car and his got on the car a God and the God keeps falling from the dashboard from the floor another bottom of the on the bottom it says made in China لا عقل له he doesn't recognize to say what is this God that I'm worshiping الل央س says نقران darkness is on their face they worship the cow so it's banned to eat cow meat you can't have cow milk you can't touch it so they drink the urine of the cow they make houses out of the cow's feces they honor it they have to destroy it in a way where you have to burn it and etc the cow doesn't he's looking at you confused هل هم يفعلون بي؟ هل هم يفعلون بي؟ يقدرونه ويحترمونه هل تأكدون بي؟ نعمة التوحيد وهذا عقل الله يجيب أن تفكره كيف تعتقد أنه من نعمة الله الله يبقى أخر بانفت that I benefited الصبر في طالب العلم الطريقة التي لدينا المعرفة رأيتها بعض these scholars they had to write the books the Bukhari and Muslims they had their own hands سبحان الله I went to Jam'a Salafiyah this Jam'a Salafiyah is a big market this is where sheikh Swasiullah Abbas came out from this is where sheikh Raydullahi Ar-Rahmaniyah visited and this is the place where الشيخ ربيع من هذه المدخل he taught there so I went there and I stayed overnight and in the morning I would go and so there's a room they give you inside the place والله they honored us والله كرام يا إخوة ويافة قنة we came we drove to Banaras we came to the Jam'a Salafiyah when we came they gave us a room in the room there's a little Maktaba so I read some of the books in there and in the morning they allowed me they said Insha'Allah we're going to open for you the Maktaba the general library so you can read what you want so what happened was I came to this room and I stayed in the morning I woke up I came to the Jam'a Salafiyah Maktaba the general one when I came I think it's nine floors if I'm not wrong and it's full of books books a lot of things that are there it's the biggest book it's the biggest Maktaba owned by جمعية أهل حديث it's the biggest Maktaba أهل حديث in India as I was informed I was read by العلام الرئيس الندوي ورحمة الله and it was a story that الشيق وبيدر رحمام محمد وحريف المدني ورحم الله told me he said he told me one night spent in a library in his bedroom in Jam'a Salafiyah he was in his bedroom and he was writing and he was authoring a book and at home night he had his head in the book he came running out of his room العلام الرئيس الندوي he came running out of his room with his Bajama and he came to the first guy that he grabbed he said to him what's my name he was shocked he said what's my name in other words his mind got so deep into the book and the knowledge he forgot his name so he kept saying to them what's my name and he said what do you want it for so he told him his name and he went back and wrote his name أصبع في الطلب العين how patient they were ساعات أيام some of the nights they were spent in their room ولي ذلك when he came to the eye وصبر نفسك معلدين يدعونا ربهم بالغاديات والعشي يريدون وجه يحيبنا بكثيره he said he said this was been he said he said be patient there يحمل أبي كثير that knowledge could not be attained with a body that's relaxed and what's shocking is that Imam Muslim brought this way in his in كتابه الصلاة كتابه المواقيد صلا question is why did Imam Muslim bring the يحمل أبي كثير which is why did he bring what was the context and what's he got to do with that Muslim brought this after he brought all of the chains of the of the Hadith that he was speaking about and it was so much different that Muslim was trying to say to the people you could not get this with a relaxed body I put so much effort in this and I put too much hard work in this الإمام الأصمعي he said he will remain he will be forced to endure the pain of ignorance you choose are you going to accept the hardship of seeking knowledge or are you going to choose the hardship of what being ignorant for the rest of your life when he did that he said he said he will not attain the ease he will not attain the ease he will not attain the ease he will not attain the ease when he did that I am going to conclude the story because there is more to say but I am going to conclude the story of a man that he used to have a shop he used to have a shop and he used to sell and at night time and at night time he would collect all day he made money and at night time what would he do he would calculate the amount of money that he made the whole day the whole night he would count the money so one of his employees that was working for him would do what he would sleep in front of the shop he was very poor he would work for him so he wouldn't waste his time going elsewhere or somewhere else he would just sleep right in front of the shop he would get himself one bread he would eat it and he would sleep under under the shop so this man in the shop all day he is working and all night he is calculating what so he saw this guy sleeping under the shop he said why are you sleeping here he said why are you sleeping here I just get a bread I sleep here and in the morning I come to work and so he is trying to count the money and this guy is snoring so he is giving him a hard time so he put the money down and he thought to himself for a bit he said I am all day working and all night I am calculating the money I made and this man works for me and he works a simple life and he is snoring in front of my shop and in the morning he is going to come to the shop and work and he is relaxed he has got no problem so he walked away from everything so the doodya even humiliation comes from it in order to get something what do you need brothers you will also need to humiliate yourself why would you do that for knowledge why wouldn't you do that for knowledge الله didn't will سبحانه وتعالى for us to go through I just wanted to say one last point come how much we have for us yeah I want to get it ok you stop anything which I have said that was wrong is from me a shaitan because Allah's message are free from it سبحانك اللهم
