 تشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي وإلا شغي لبه بالعلمي إذا كان شخص بيزيز نفسه بيوكي بيزيز نفسه بيغيرها other than knowledge is دادة فرقا وشتاتا it increases you in division in being split وإنما تجمع الهمة على المطلوب بتفقد ثلاثة أمور in order to bring your aspiration in your drive and your intentions all together the sheikh says three things is what you need to look for three things is what makes you bring everything in tact and you draw your heading towards the direction whereas the person whose intentions are so much as I said is trying to put your legs in two different things they all go in different directions you'll split into half the first one the author says أولها أما أولها both ways you can say it what does it say in your copy it's you can say أولها or you can say أولها if you say أولها which is a كسرة it's a بدل from the word بتفقدي which is a جالة المجرور and the بدل is from the توابع الأربع that's a grammar or if you want you can say أولها and then it becomes a جملة استئنا فيها it becomes a مبتدة it's an independent sentence brand new nothing to do with the previous so whichever one you say the same as ثانيها you can say it if you want ثالثوها or ثالثوها the author says the first one is الحرص على ما ينفع فما تأوفق العبد إلى ما ينفع وحرص عليه the first one is the first thing that allows you to bring your intentions and your drive together is الحرص to striving striving to what benefits you فما تأوفق العبد على ما ينفع وحرص عليه because whenever you as an individual strive to what benefits you الله سبحانه وتعالى will allow you to what to gain that which is going to benefit you the second author mentions is الاستعالة بالله عز وجل في تحصيله seeking help and aid from Allah سبحانه وتعالى in gaining knowledge asking Allah many people say to you I want to seek knowledge I want to do this I want to do that who today before they left made dua for Allah to allow knowledge to enter their heart so a serious question you need to ask yourself who actually came today before they left or before they even started the dars or before they even took on anything يسأل رب زيني علماء وسد الإمام مشيخو الإسلامي بلوتيميه he would say يا معلم داودا ويا مفهم السليمان يا معلم داودا علمني ويا مفهم السليمان وفهمني the teacher of Dawu teach me and the one who allowed سليمان to understand make me understand الاستعالة is very powerful الله سبحانه وتعالى in the greatest surah in the Quran الله took out استعالة from عبادة when it part of عبادة and he allowed it to stand shoulder to shoulder with عبادة إياك نعبدو وإياك نستعين استعالة is a عبادة it's a branch and a type of عبادة الله took it out and allowed it to stand shoulder to shoulder with عبادة for a reason because of his importance just like الله took out جيبريل وميكائيل from the angels مكان عدول لله وملايكة ورسوله وجيبريل وميكال فإن الله عدول لك what did Allah take out from Allah took جيبريل وميكائيل out from the angels because they are the best of the two they are the two best angels from all the other angels so the person has to seek help from Allah in this knowledge which he want to attain and the author there brings a line of poetry which is what إذا لم يكن عون من الله للفتح فأول ما يجني عليه اجتهاده this is a statement of Ali ibn Abi Talib the author doesn't mention as I said before who are the ones who say these statements he generally doesn't mention it and I don't know brothers if you guys pick on little informations when you're reading and you're looking at things but generally scholars you're going to see two things you're going to see two things generally speaking and wisdom or lines of poetry that are mentioned they are generally ascribed to two people the overwhelming majority of times and I generally like to pick on things like this when I'm reading Ali ibn Abi Talib and Imam al-Shafi you're going to find that very often that even it could be possible that somebody before them might have said this statement but generally people like to touch it to them too so you always have to observe more is it true that he said it because if Shafi'a is it said to Shafi'a and then we find that somebody attributed to Imam Malik authentically who's going to be given the presidency Malik is before Shafi'a are you with me generally it could happen that Shafi'a and Imam Malik were the same time and that he said it before him but it's generally something I realized many of the times people attribute wise statements lines of poetry that contain wise speech to Ali or Imam al-Shafi anyways the poet in the statement of the poet which he wrote and according to the Shi'a it's called Bahr al-Tawil those who have studied and know this is called Bahr al-Tawil إذا لم يكن عون من الله للفتح if there is not Allah's aid Allah's help for an individual فأول ما يجني عليه اجتهدو the first thing that's going to transgress on him is his own nafs إذا لم يكن if it's not عون من الله if it's not for Allah's help for you if it's not because Allah helped you فأول ما يجني عليه اجتهدو the first thing that's going to destroy you and the first thing that's going to transgress on you is what اجتهدوه your own efforts are going to kill me so you coming out today running around taking your backpack coming here sitting down playing a game that's not going to help you it is a part of it but that effort of yours can actually be your enemy that's why you need Allah's help and that's why they used to know the Salaf al-Umar they knew that that was the reality of seeking knowledge was anything they wanted to do they used to ask Allah for help and they used to show that they need of Allah سبحانه و تعالى و لذلك the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم met and he saw Mu'ad in the Jabal one day and he said to Mu'ad يا Mu'ad إني لو حبك Mu'ad I love you فلا تدعنا do not forget to say after every prayer that you pray اللهم أعيني على ذكرك و شكرك و حسنة عبادتك or Allah aid me help me in your remembrance و شكرك and your gratitude and also help me in perfecting عباد towards you don't forget that the school is different on what is meant by دوبر الصلاة does it mean the prayer at the ending or does it mean once you say سلام عليكم then دوبر is different in the Arabic language the third is عدم العجزي عن بلوغ البغياتي من هو the third one is do not become lazy in trying to attain بغية means what you're looking for عدم العجزي do not become lazy in what عن بلوغ البغياتي in trying to attain what you're looking for a lot of the people they get lazy the first day when it opens everybody's there pens you get extra tables in wow سبحان الله this is too many people just give it a week I'm being very nice just give it a week sometimes it's less than that let's just be nice one week what happens for we haven't brushed their teeth come confused and give you another two three weeks الله عالي مفتاة gonna stay as well that's it a lot of the people like a lot of the people they like the idea of speed scolars they like the idea you don't like the reality right it's the idea that we like wow one of your scolars one day that's why I think it's very important when people are teaching people not to just tell the glory times of شخل سام تيميا and the last moments of his life but what should be told to them is how he got there because a lot of people only look at that time of your إبن تيميا and أحمد ونحمد ونشاف that last part of their lives have you really looked at how they got there they got there by urinating their urine turned it to blood صح so today somebody will say to you I would love to come to the class for life but I'm busy I'll come insha'Allah to aila some other time so the issue of حسانة تيني he said yesterday if مرماتيني حسانة تيني two little ribs were being given out in the mystery today after every class this place سبحان الله I'll be over packed right that's the issue these are the three that he mentions so don't give up brothers do not give up عجز and giving up shouldn't be a characteristics of a person who has high aspirations a person who has high aspirations that's not his giving up is for people who are weak keep going keep pushing yourself motivate yourself every day wake up say I know it doesn't look good I'm still not there where I want to reach but every time you fall get up you fall again get up you fall and get up just keep getting up as long as you're getting up and you're moving forward you're honorable don't look at this person who is not falling Allah gives people in different ways not everybody is the same your own fingers are not the same Allah didn't make everybody the same but you know why you're honorable he may not he might be weak that if he fell that he will never get up but you're strong that you fell and you still got up and you made your way and you didn't remember well Allah one of the things that the Self used to do is just so they're consistent they used to come to the حلقة on Friday when there was no class they would sit in the حلقة there's no lesson that day they know there's no class Friday is the day's off they'll still come and they will sit from the time that the sheikh used to come until the time he used to go Insha'Allah soon we're going to be seen قراءة كود قراءة الجرد that some of the A'immah used to do قطيب البغدادي you and others we're going to see them يا اخوة this is what's needed والله يا اخوة a little boy came to his mom and he said mama I want to go to the mosque and I want to pray he loved to see the idea of going to the mosque early so he came to the masjid when he came to the masjid his mother allowed him to go he went and he came early to the masjid so he saw a little hole inside the masjid so he went inside the hole in the masjid when he went inside the hole of the masjid there was a sharp object standing out on the side so he got he got his leg in it so he went through his flesh and his leg blood started to gush from his feet from his leg the mother came into the masjid saw him there but back in those days it wasn't carpet so it was sand it wasn't sand it wasn't sand it wasn't sand so he tied his leg and he sat down he got pain but to attain being in a front row it comes with hard work so this is what he's going through so when the Imam came and he let the prayer and he finished by then his leg is bleeding he saw the blood so he said to him young boy what happened to you so he told him the story and he said to him right I'm going to tell you some lines of poetry he said دبيبت للمجد والساعون قد بلغوا جهدا النفوس وألقوا دونه الأزراء وكابدوا المجد حتى ملا أكثرهم وعانق المجد من أوفا ومن صبر لا تحسب ان المجد تمرا ان تأكيله لن تبلغ المجد حتى تلعق الصبراء when he tells the boy is that what you're trying to attain today was success you're trying to attain something you had a goal you said yourself you wanted to pray in the masjid the earliest the first you wanted to become a person to pray in the front row but my son you have to remember that whatever you're trying to attain it's not like something you just pick up from somewhere a date that you just pick it up like that you're never going to attain something unless you come with patience and patience is something which is very bitter very very bitter it's easy for the person who's not going through it to say it نعم الصبر is مطية it's it's a riding beast that if you sit on you're never going to be lost it's the best thing a person can have patience don't worry don't worry it's going to get there it may not be today the results that you see it may not be tomorrow it may not be the day after but one day one day you will get there as long as you're getting up and as long as you're moving you will one day see the results all of these three that the author brought which is على حرص على ما ينفع الاستعانة بالله عز وجل في تحصيري عدم العجز عن بلوغ البغية these three the author says وقد جمعت هذه الأمور الثلاثة في الحديث they all found in one حديث all of these three that he mentioned he got from one حديث and it is الذي أبعاه مسلم ابن الحجاج اللي ما مسلم I read it yeah what did he write now مسلم ابنه ابنه هاييه هاييه شوفتا اتاعتنشن he wrote مسلم ابنه حجاج right he wrote ألف yeah the copy is the original copy are شغيه شغيه سين حزت what is it yeah he writes the ألف why did he write the ألف now we've just said مسلم ابنه حجاج حجاج is his father's name هاييه he broke the قائد that we just gave there's another قائد that he's following شغوصا يمي he's trying to teach you different things that you need to understand and what is it that if the name falls in the first line of a paragraph you write the ألف just like it fell here right now are you with me brothers if the name falls in the first line of a paragraph you will write the ألف did he write ابو بكت ابنه ابي شيبة did he write ابنه ابي شيبة no you didn't write ابنه ابي شيبة but he wrote ابنه ابنه الحجاج صح he doesn't mention these any شروح or explanations but it's something that you need to all pick up on you're reading a book you need to get فوائد why did he write here why did he not write here always ask yourself these questions رواه مسلم ابنه الحجاج قال حدتنا أبو بكره ابي شيبة وبنه مي قال both of them said so who's the قال أبو بكره ابي شيبة and also ابنه مي مسلم narrated from these two these are both of his شيوخs both of them is who he narrated from and both of them narrated from the same شيخ the sheikh is عبد الله ابنه يدريسن عربية عتبنه عثمانين وحمد ابنه يحيا ابنه حبان this insha Allah we're going to see النخبة الفكرة insha Allah this issue of حبان this is a mistake no it's not حبان is one حبان is different this one is called محمد ابنه يحيا ابنه حبان ابنه ووكر is known very well known his name is محمد ابنه يحيا ابنه حبان ابنه ووكر so you say حبان and you have to know the difference you guys have to know that the scholars before never used to have dots they never used to have these حركات on it they had no dots how would you distinguish between عبس and عيش dots they write عبس right now and write عيش the only difference between the two is what dots they would have no dots are you with me brothers they would have no and no dots and they would be able to tell the difference because all of it was what that's how knowledge was before now just google search it pops up she's google is a mufti right google is sheikh we kapir is a mufti right we kapir is a mufti is a mufti and the hadith is عن أبي هوريرة ربي الله تعالى عنه أبو هوريرة's name his real name is عبد الرحمن ابنه صخر from the people of dose he came to Islam with who brought him into Islam ابو هوريرة طفيل ابنه عمر at dose he brought him into Islam right ابو هوريرة is a Yemeni from Yemen dose are people from Yemen and he only stayed with the process 3 or 4 years some say 4 some say 3 يا أخوة الكنار 3 or 4 years look how many innovations he came with how ابو هوريرة mentions it himself one day he came to the prophet he said to the prophet من أس عدم ناس بيشة فاعتك يوم القيامة who is the person the day of judgment who is going to be the most successful person towards your intercession the prophet looked at him and he said ابو هوريرة I knew no one would ever ask me a question like this except you اللي ما رأي تحرصك when I saw your striving and your heart your effort ابو هوريرة how striving yours I knew no one else would ask me a question like this it's a very striving individual ابو هوريرة and he mentions it himself he says I narrated all these narrations I took all of these narrations because I saw knowledge with an empty stomach other people were business with what other people were busy with business and trainings that's what busy them and preoccupied them he had this concept of what his whole aspiration who came to one thing and today today he has the most narrations and the enemies of Islam like they hate ابو هوريرة الشيخة للباني he said something very powerful لأنه قسر ظهرهم he broke their backs with narrations too many narrations wherever they can't go wherever they stand is the narration of ابو هوريرة we took for them speaking about the virtual بكر العبر رتبان صح and the rule is that their religion doesn't believe ابو هوريرة they know like him أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال the prophet said احرص على ما ينفعك واستعم بالله ولا تعجز ولا تعجز it comes from the word عجز يعجز ضرب يضرب فعليف علو صح تعجز it means to be lazy احرص على ما ينفعك that which will benefit you واستعم بالله seek aid and help from Allah ولا تعجز and do not be one who is lazy and unable to do something نعم you ready then the author says فمن أراد جمعة هيمته على العلم anybody who wants to bring his mind and his intention and his drive to knowledge فاليوش عيل في نفسه شعولة الحرص ignite the fire of striving in yourself hype yourself up if a car is switched off the ignition is switched off can the car move can you even think about driving fast if your car switches off on a traffic light and there's another nice car next to you and it's and you're going to deal with the watch I'm not driving a nice Nissan MECRA anymore the real deal are your car switches off are you going to win so you can't even beat him in a race if you're switched off this is the same when it comes to seeking knowledge if you really want to come with the real required amount of taking in then ignite yourself switch yourself on you have to be alert and ready فاليوش عيل it means to ignite into light it means to lit في نفسه شعولة الحرص شعولة هي means the fire burn yourself wake yourself up what a horse striving لأنه ينفع because it benefits you this is what you need it's what you need بل كل خير في الدنيا والآخرة إنما هو ثمرة من ثمارات العلم because every good that you see in this world and every good that you see in hereafter the fruit of it is what it's a fruit from the fruit of what knowledge and in this statement the author got he got it from Al-Imam Al-Qarafi the Maliki scholar in his كتاب الفروق he says that knowledge is the foundation of every good there is ابن القيم also said رحمه الله تعالى أصل كل خير في الدنيا والآخرة العلم والعدل وأصل كل الشرن في الدنيا والآخرة الجهل والظلم ابن القيم says the foundation of every good in this world and in hereafter is in knowledge and justice and every and the foundation of every evil in this world and the hereafter is ignorance and oppression and as you all know we were created in the natural state of ignorance and oppression in no kind of al-Uman جهولة that our original state of everybody is ignorance and what an oppression every single day of your life what are you trying to attain you're trying to attain knowledge in order to remove and to repel what ignorance and you're also coming with justice in order to repel oppression so that statement the author is saying he's got it from those two noble imams and also seek help from Allah ولا يعجز عن شيء منه and do not become lazy from any matters relating to it فإنه وحينا إذا يدركوا بغيته ويفوزوا بما أمنا then and only then are you going to attain what you're looking for and you're going to find success in what you're hoping for the word بغية it can be placed a dhamma on the back so you can say بغية or you can say بغية both ways are correct بضم البائي وكسرها you can place a dhamma on the back or you can place a kassara on the back there's a statement that the scholars mentioned and it's a حكمة it's attributed to ابن عطاء الاسكندري رحمه الله it's attributed to him that he said he said anyone who doesn't have a beginning which is if he's not got a beginning which he's lit himself ignited himself he doesn't have in the first steps of seeking knowledge if you don't wake yourself up you don't light yourself up you don't ignite yourself up you're not going to have a bright ending you're not going to get a bright مشرقة means to bright when something's bright you're not going to have a good ending basically نعم الآثر here now brings a statement of Al-Junaid Junaid he's he's an Imam from the Aima of the Sufiya the Sufiya as you know as time went on they changed Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymi about them Junaid on the other hand he was from the noble people Ibn Taymi praised him highly praised him a lot Shaykhul Islam and he also praised Abu Sulayman al-Darani those two they are Aima of the Sufiya Sufiya they bring them a lot in the Kitab Al-Qashiri Al-Qashiriya you find him إحياء علوم الدين Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali they narrate them but they have statements that don't go against generally some scholars they say they do but they're not like the Sufiya that you see today one of the things that was transmitted from that Al-Junaid said because his teacher who he took who he took from Junaid was Abu Sulayman al-Darani Junaid said I heard my teacher Sulayman al-Darani say this statement ربما يقع في قلبي النقطة من نقط القومي أياما sometimes what will happen is I may hear a benefit from the benefits of the Sufiya that he's with his own people and then he said فلا أقبل منه I don't accept it from them إلا بشاهدين يعدلين الكتاب والسنة unless they come with two testimonies two witnesses that back up what they are saying is benefit الكتاب and the sunnah that's why I wait for when they say something I say okay did the Kitab say this did the sunnah say this okay I'll take it then now that is good that's not what you find with the Sufiya today rather their whole objective and the way they are now as they change is that they become معارضين للكتاب والسنة they are in opposition towards the Kitab and the and the sunnah Al-Junaid said there is not a person this statement is very powerful مع طلبة أحدون شيئا there is not a person who requests a thing بجدن with with sincere striving وصتقن and truthfulness إلا ناله إِسَبْتِ يَتَينْزِت فإِلَّمْ يَنَلْهُ كُلَّهُ if he does not attain all of it ناله بعضه he attains part of it anybody who seeks anything whatever it may be whatever it may be if you do it with جدن and ستق جد means hard work striving and you do it with ستق meaning you don't associate any other actions with it you do it alone you would attain it all or you will attain some of it and the reason why he wants to say some of it is because no one is able to ever attain knowledge in it all as some of the scholars they said اعطِ العِلْمَ كُلَّكَ give everything of yours to knowledge but when you do your take بعضه it will give you some of it in return knowledge you have to give everything you have to give out your money you have to give everything you own your time your effort your hard work your شباب everything and then knowledge will look at you and say ok things it will give you something in return but it won't give you all of it in return because no one is able to get to the bottom of knowledge and say yeah I've finished الحمد لله I don't need to seek knowledge anymore I'm good now I can be a businessman I've finished knowledge Islamic studies I did my time I studied I attained knowledge I became a scholar I don't need to do that anymore الحمد لله I'm good you hear people say that and that shows that they didn't even understand the beginning of knowledge then let alone to finish knowledge الله تعالى الأوثن then brings a line of poetry this line of poetry is is is is is is is the word the word well sorry أسرع , الجد بالجد الجد بالجد والحرمان بالكسة لي يوز يقول جد right لا أعطي لا أعطي أن يقول جد لا يقول أن هذا الحرك علي هل يوجد الحركة في الموقف بعض الناس يوجد حركة في الموقف يوز يوز صح يوز يفتح عليك كسة نحن نحن نحن كسة is wrong the reason why he did both of them it means both of them can't be said the fatha is right and the fatha falls as three meanings the fatha is the correct and it falls as three meanings one is a naf'u benefit معنى الأولى is a naf'u the second one is gina richness the third one is the third one is your granddad your dad's dad here it means the first two not the granddad benefit and richness is the first first is benefit second one is richness the third one it means the granddad your dad's dad or your mom's dad it doesn't mean granddad here so he means benefit or he means to be rich الجدو بالجدي being rich and benefiting it comes with بالجدي working hard والحرمال بالكسلي and to be prevented from something it comes from what laziness so pay attention الجدو بالجدي benefiting I'm becoming rich in something الجدو بالجدي benefiting from something is after you've strove after you've worked after you've strove والحرمال بالكسلي and to be prevented from something is due to your laziness فانصب تصب عن قريب غاية الأمري فانصب get tired تصب you will attain عن قريب from very close very soon you will attain غاية الأمري فانصب here means to busy yourself to get yourself tired in doing something and that's why Allah said to the prophet فإذا فرغت if you finish عبادة and you finish fasting you finish Hajj you finish psalm what would you think somebody would say to you relax right chill فإذا فرغت you finish عبادة many people are like oh I'm going to relax some holidays and chill Allah said to the prophet فإذا فرغت go to another عبادة doesn't stop and that's how Muslims like holiday there's no holiday for us sorry to say I believe it doesn't have an utlah so بحيمة الله I sleep listening to it so sometimes they tell him to do the lectures he does a little reminder 10-15 minutes reminder after his question and answers so I listen to it and one of them was the summer holidays where he had to speak so he just finished their exams so he did a lecture for them and the lecture he said in the beginning I just wanted to tell you all that there is no holiday for a believer a believer doesn't have a holiday holiday for a believer is what it's not when you put one leg in jannah it's when you put both legs in jannah well I also a part of your body is still out you still don't have a holiday let alone you're not knowing where you're going to go into jannah then the author says فنهض بهماتكا وستيقض من الغفلة فإن العبد إذا رزق هماة عالية فتحت له أبواب الخيرات وتسابقت إليه المسمعات وتسابقت إليه المسرغات وتسابقت إليه المسرغات الشيخ says فنهض بهماتكا وستيقض من الغفلة فنهض means get up بهماتكا with your aspiration وستيقض and wake up من الغفلة from heedlessness فإن العبد إذا رزق هماة عالية if a slave is given high aspiration فتحت له أبواب الخيرات if a person is given high aspiration and Allah provides you with high aspirations all those of good are going to come your way وتسابقت إليه المسرغات and the joyful things will hasten towards you things that bring about joy for you مسرغات is the joyful things تسابقت they will hasten to you they will come running to you one after the other they are competing between themselves to come to you we will take 10 minutes break and I think then we should start نخبط الفكر and we will stop this one for now we will have 10 minutes break relax after 10 minutes we will come back I will conclude this one here in sha Allah and we will carry on anything which I have said wrong or incorrect is from me as sha Allah his messenger is free from it سبحانك اللهم
