 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته اسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا وحبيبنا وشفيعنا وقائدنا وقرّة عيوننا سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك وعظيم سلطانك اللهم افتح علينا فتوح العارفين اللهم علمنا ما ينفعنا وانفعنا بما علمتنا يا رحم الراحمين اليوم ان شاء الله سوف نتحدث عن فيميل كامبانين من المسجر الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أم مسلمة رضي الله عنها وفيميل كامبانين سيدنا ساعد بن أبي وقاص رضي الله عنه لنبدأ ان شاء الله سوف نتحدث عن one of the mothers of the believers أم المؤمنين the wife of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم أم سلمة her real name is Hind bint Abu Umayah أم أبنى سمسة والسجل وفقه and a narrator to the hadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم أم أبيه was known for his great generosity and he was called zadou rakhim والذ reason for that is his great generosity that if someone is traveling with him he is not supposed to take anything with him any sustenance, any proficiency because of Zad Rakim was sufficient his generosity was sufficient for anyone who travels with him so that person would not take anything with him before أم سلمة was married to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was married to Abu Salma and Abu Salma is his nickname his real name is عبد الله ابن أسد and عبد الله ابن أسد was the cousin of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم from his mother's side أبو سلمة was known for his gentleness and his good manners and he was an amazing husband to his wife there was an amazing strong love relationship between the two pair أبو سلمة and أم سلمة أم سلمة was among those very few women of صحابة who migrated both Hijras the first Hijra, the second Hijra the Hijra to أبسين and the Hijra to مدينة more than honor she was the first woman صحابي to migrate to مدينة when she was among the group who migrated to أبسينة she had a remarkable position there she narrated in accurate details what happened in the palace of Megus when the non-believers came to him to trying to get back those Muslims who fled to أبسين because they knew that سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم told them that the king of أبسين is a just king and you will be safe there so أم سلمة narrated everything that happened during that meeting when those men tried to get the Muslims back and of course how they could not and they came back as losers on the day of أحد أبسينة was injured very severely and he was carried out of the battle he recovered from his injury but he was never fully recovered and he remained sick for a few months one day there was a conversation between أم سلمة and أبو سلمة so she told him how about I heard that what do you think of me not getting married after you die and he looked at her and he asked will you listen to what I say and she said yes I've always been listening to you I never disobeyed you and أبو سلمة said if I die I want you to get married and he made dua for her that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would give her a husband who is better than him and who will take good care of her but أم سلمة looked at him you are the best husband you are the best person who will be better than you and especially that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم once made dua for him and she remembered the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم words اللهم الفير لأبي سلمة ورفع درجة oh Allah give forgiveness to أبي سلمة and elevate his مقام so she was thinking of these words of this dua سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was thinking of her husband how good he is to her how can she find a better husband then سبحان الله أبو سلمة دايد and she was very sad she was very sad to lose her beloved husband but suddenly she remembered that what the Prophet محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم has told the ummah that if you face any calamity you have to have a dua you have to say these words إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُمُونَ اللهم جرني في مصيبتي وخلفني خيرا منها indeed to Allah we will belong and to him is our return oh Allah reward me in this calamity and replace replace it with something better to me so on Salama said I made this dua but I said who is better than Abu Salam so different Sahabas proposed to her but she refused now let's stop here for a second let's remember that when a calamity strikes when someone is tested and calamities can be a death of a close family member a loss of wealth a big loss of anything a loss in health so when someone faces any of these things and these are often happening in life we are always tested and the tests are countless so whenever we have a test whenever anybody anyone has a test the person needs to read this dua so Allah سبحانه وتعالى will highly reward that person when we are tested we have to thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى for so many reasons we have to thank Allah that this test was not in our faith الحمد لله الحمد لله for the blessings of being Muslims and that's the best of the blessings وكفى بها من نعم so we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى that the first thing we thank Him that this calamity is not in our faith then we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى that this calamity is not bigger than what it is so when when someone has a calamity the first thing they would say الحمد لله that it ended like this there is a big lot of there is a big care of Allah سبحانه وتعالى there is if someone has a car accident some bones broken here and there they would say الحمد لله we can still see we can still hear we can still function our brain is safe so we would say الحمد لله that the calamity is not bigger so whenever we have any test we have to remember all the tests all the calamities that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم passed through and this will make us realize that our problem is so trivial in comparison to what happened to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so we are practicing sabr we are practicing patience الله سبحانه وتعالى إن الله مع الصابرين indeed الله is with those who practice patience وبالشير الصابرين give good tidings to those who practice patience والله يحب الصابرين الله loves those who practice patience but when at the beginning when the problem happens when the calamity strikes this is where we have to practice patience once سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was passing by the graveyard and he saw a woman crying and crying on the grave and she is not looking at anybody she was just crying so he said to her take it easy all women and she said إليك عني فإنك لم تصد بمصيبتي oh just leave me alone you don't have the problem the calamity that I have been struck with and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم left later when they told her that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was the one who was speaking to her she felt so bad and so ashamed and she rushed to him and she said يا رسول الله I did not know that you were the one who was standing there and he said to her إنما الصبر عند الصدمة الأولى the good patience you practice is at the beginning at the time of the calamity so this is صبر but do you know what is higher is higher than صبر there is an elevated مقام than the صبر مقام and we have seen that الله سبحانه وتعالى gave good tidings for those who practice patience and Allah loves those who practice patience and Allah is with those who practice patience but what is higher the مقام that's higher is the مقام of رضا to be content to be happy to accept and this is what we all need to think about when Allah سبحانه وتعالى gives us something we have to accept it whether good or bad so practicing acceptance for bad things is a higher مقام than practicing patience because with patience there is grief there is sadness someone is sad and he practice patience oh Allah ordered me to practice patience and I'm doing it for the sake of Allah which is amazing but if that same person says Allah put me in this test Allah tested me in this test and I am accepting this for the sake of Allah then this is higher because accepting without having this sorrow and sadness and grief in the heart خلاص whatever Allah chooses is the best in the outer appearance it might be a big test but deep inside our hearts it should be complete acceptance to what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has created for us so we go back to see what happened what was the reward that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has prepared to umsalama so many Sahabas propose to get married to umsalama but Allah سبحانه وتعالى decreed for her none other than the messenger of Allah so she did not only get someone better than her husband but he gave her also Allah gave her the paradise in the day after she will be in the highest مقام with سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so let's all learn from this story let's all learn from what happened to umsalama and let's all memorize this du'a إنا لله وإنا إيه راجعون اللهم جرني في مصيبتي وخلفني خيرا منها we have to understand the power of du'a اللهم سبحانه وتعالى قلت في القرآن دعوني أستجب لكم make du'a and I will fulfill your du'a some people might say but I make lots of du'a and I don't get the results okay let me tell you something when we make du'a اللهم سبحانه وتعالى will either accept it and give it to us in this dunya or he will delay it until the day after or he will push away calamities that might have coming to us but they don't because of the power of du'a sometimes we ask Allah for something and we keep nagging until it happens and when it happens we say oh Allah we wish it did not happen that's why when we want to ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for something we would say oh Allah if there is khayr in this thing then give it to me we don't know where is khayr we don't know what is khayr so we ask Allah we say oh Allah we don't know how to choose we want you to choose for us we don't know how to decide we want you to decide for us and Sayyidna Ali used to say إني لأفرح I am happy when I want something and Allah does something else other than what I want so make du'a Allah سبحانه وتعالى loves to hear the voice of the believers so he loves to hear us making du'a lots of du'a and if there is someone who Allah سبحانه وتعالى hates or something he would say oh when he makes du'a oh I want this I want that because Allah will tell them the angels give him what he wants I hate to hear his voice and sometimes we look at this du'a how it is arranged and we see that there are so many non-believers who get everything they want there are so many non-believers who have the happiest what everything they need in this life but if we look deep inside we will find that Allah سبحانه وتعالى prepared this this dunya this vanishing dunya for them but we will be enjoying the eternal life so do not underestimate the power of du'a make lots of du'a for yourself, for your spouses for your parents, for your ancestors for your offsprings make lots of du'a for your children that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will protect them and that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will guide them Allah سبحانه وتعالى will provide them with the best of suhba that will help them stay on their path on the right path make them see the nur that Allah سبحانه وتعالى prepared for prepared for them when they follow the the correct path they follow the teachings of Allah when they fulfill the orders of Allah when they prevent themselves from doing what Allah سبحانه وتعالى prevented them from doing make lots of du'a once it is narrated that someone made lots of du'a in dunya and sometimes the du'a would get fulfilled and sometimes not when he passed away someone saw him in the dream and he said how would you have all these blessings or this reward what did you do I used to make du'a and I wish that Allah سبحانه وتعالى did not accept any of my du'a in dunya because he saved everything for me in the akhir so so so she had the best of love and she would do anything for Sayyidina Muhammad she would she would get the water of his du'a to wipe her face and to have blessings she would keep some of his blessed hair some pieces, some of the hairs of Sayyidina Muhammad in a vessel that she would show it to each and everyone whom she loves and if there is someone who is thick she used to to pour some water on these these blessed hers she had and to give them the water so they would get the barakah of that water they would drink it, they would wipe their bodies and she would do anything for Prophet Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى سبحانه وتعالى so years passed and Sayyidina Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى and her wisdom was manifested on the day of Hudaybiyah when she did something that no other man did so we know that on the day of Hudaybiyah Sayyidina Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى ordered his companions to slaughter the animals and to shave their heads after Quraish refused them refused that they would enter to Mecca and to make their umrah but the Muslims it was so hard on them that they didn't want to do it Sayyidina Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى came back to his tent and he told and she looked at him and she said go out do not talk to anyone get your animals slaughter it and ask someone to cut your hair to shave your head and then see what will happen and indeed when the Sahaba when the companions Sayyidina Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى immediately rushed and did what he did and what he ordered them to do so these are the most important things about Umm Muslim رضي الله عنها and after Sayyidina Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى passed away the Sahaba the Tabi'een later used to they trusted her wisdom they trusted her honesty and they used to come to her to ask her about fiqh questions they know how wise she was and how knowledgeable she was and Umm Salama was always a source of khayr and a source of caring for the Muslims Umm Salama lived until the the year 62 of Hijra and she was the last of the mothers of the believers the last of the wives of Sayyidina Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى to die and she was buried in the blessed جنة البقية so we learned from Umm Salama to make lots of Taha this is the main thing that we have to do now we move to and we see an amazing companion here he was almost 17 years old of a noble family very brave very attached to his parents especially his mom he was with his being very brave he was always compared to a lion and his grandfather was the uncle of Sayyida Amina the mother of Sayyidina Muhammad سبحانه وتعالى وسلم سعد used to spend most of his time making bows and arrows and practicing archery this young man with the worshipping of idols and false gods false gods that the way his people were he always thought that their belief was corrupt that their belief was wrong he disagreed with all the rituals and all the practices they did until one day سعد had a beautiful yet strange dream he saw in his dream that he was in a dark place that he could not see anything and then the moon came over and the moon illuminated everything for him illuminated everything around him so he followed this light and he saw أبو بكر سيدنا أبو بكر سيدنا علي سيدنا زيد بن حارثة they saw that they have seated him to that moon and he asked them he asked them when did you come? they said we arrived just now and this is why it is said that سعد was the fourth of the men who believed in Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so this dream changed his life that moon was Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and with this light this light illuminated the life of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so he went out and he saw أبو بكر رضي الله عنه so سيدنا أبو بكر knew about the dream and he told him about Islam and they both went to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and immediately سيدنا سعد embraced Islam he became a Muslim سيدنا سعد was of the six people that He suggested to succeed him in خلافة and he was of the ten people that Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم gave glad tidings to paradise so سبحان الله this was the beginning of Sayyidina سعد ابن مواص he was raised in Islam he refused the faith of the believers so this reminds us of the Hadith that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will shade seven groups of people under his shade on the day of judgment when there is no shade except the shade of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and one of these groups is a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah سبحانه وتعالى this is how we want to raise our children to be with Allah سبحانه وتعالى to be on the path of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم he used to love sa'ad a lot and he used he was known sa'ad was known to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم he was known as the uncle of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say so this is my uncle let someone show me his uncle and Sayyidina Sa'ad was known to be the night of Islam he was very brave so when Sa'ad became a Muslim many people were not happy especially his mother who said to him where if you do not renounce this religion then I will not eat I will not drink so I will die and people would say Sa'ad is the murderer of his mother and Sa'ad narrated that three years past sorry three days past his mother did not eat anything on the first day did not drink anything same thing on the second day third day she did not eat or drink anything for three days and she was in a bad state then he went to her and he said يا أمى تعلمين لو كانت لكي مئة نفس فخرجت نفسا نفسا ما تركت ديني هذا لشيئ فإن شئتي فأقولي وإن شئتي لا تأكلي فأكلت he said to his mom you had a hundred lives and you killed your soul a hundred times I will not denounce this deen of Allah so if you want if you don't want to eat and when she saw how steady fast on his religion so she stopped the hunger strike Sa'ad loved his mom a lot so he went to say محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he asked him to make dua to Allah that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would guide the heart of his mother would enlighten the heart of his mother so she would become a Muslim and say the Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم died and his mom became a Muslim he was very happy so at the beginning of Islam we all know that the Muslims were not able to practice Islam freely so they used to go to the outskirts of Medina to pray there so that the non-believers would not see them one time some of the non-believers were coming back to the city they saw them so they they had a fight with them and they said bad words to them so Sa'ad got a bone and he hit with it one of the non-believers and his blood fell down so that was the first blood that was shed in Islam by Sa'ad and Sa'ad and Sa'ad 10 years later Sa'ad fought in Ghaswet Bader and he was the first one of the companions to throw the first arrow for the sake of Allah and he used to say اللهم زلز الأقدامهم وأرعب قلوبهم وفعل بهم وفعل والنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول اللهم استجب لي سعد so he used to say he used to take the arrow and say اللهم Oh Allah Oh Allah do this to them Oh Allah so and Sayidina Muhammad was behind him saying Oh Allah answer the dua of Sa'ad in Uhud in the battle of Uhud it was a hard battle for the Muslims and Sa'ad رضي الله وعن used to take arrows from Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم one after the other and he used to shoot them of course the Muslims and Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم would make the dua اللهم سدي درميته واجب دعوته Sa'ad إرمي Sa'ad في داك أبي و أمي Oh Allah make his shooting very to the point make it bull's eye and answer his dua and he used to say may my mother and father be sacrificed for you Sa'ad and it is narrated that Sa'ad أبن أبي وقالس was the only one of the Sahaba that Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said this sentence to him may my mother and father be sacrificed for you so as I mentioned the battle of Uhud for the Muslims and he he fought and he sacrificed himself to protect Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and he narrates that during the battle of Uhud he saw two people guarding Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said I never saw these people before and I never saw them after the battle and it was explained that Allah سبحانه وتعالى made Sayidina Sa'ad أبن أبي وقالس see the angels protecting Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so this was how he his position in during the battle of Uhud one day Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting with his companions and he told them uh the first man to enter from this door will be a person of paradise so everybody looked eagerly just to see who is that person who was given the glad tidings of Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم people of Jannah so they saw Sayidina أبن أبي وقالس and when uh the gathering was done Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn Al-Haas went after Sayidina أبن أبي وقالس and he asked him he asked him about the thing what does he do that he deserved the greeting of uh Sayidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم that he is of the people of Jannah so he looked at him and he said I do nothing more than what you do so we all pray we all do the same thing but every day I go to bed without having any hatred feeling to anyone who has a clean and a sound heart and Allah سبحانه و تعالى says in the Quran إلا من أت الله بقل بن سليم everyone will have will be punished except for those who come to Allah سبحانه و تعالى with a sound heart and once people ask how can we get a sound heart as it was when you pray the sunnah of fajr have a few moments and do 41 times يا حيو يا قيوم لا إله إلا أنت 41 times يا حيو يا قيوم لا إله إلا أنت will guarantee you to have a sound heart so maybe the merit of that he has no hatred feeling to anyone was the reason for him to be of the 10 people who got the glad tidings of to be in paradise so it was narrated that during the time of conquering was very sick and he was about to die so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم came to visit him and he asked he said I have a lot of money and I have only one daughter would I give in charity 2 3rd of my money and said no he said how about half he said no but 1 3rd he said 1 3rd and 1 3rd is is a lot it is better to leave your hairs wealthy than to leave them biggers to ask people so this was a thick ruling that the people of فقر got from this do not give a lot of money for charity if you have people to inherit you and it was said that after that الله سبحانه وتعالى gave him good health he got better and he had many children after that so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away and it was at the time of سيد الأبو بكر and then سيدنا عمر followed and during the time of سيدنا عمر سيدنا عمر made Sa'ad the commander of chief for the Muslim army who went to fight القادسية went to fight the Persians in القادسية so the Muslims were 30,000 Muslims and the Persians were over 100,000 and they were under the leader their leader was Rustam so سيدنا صاعد and the army prayed the Zuhra prayer and of course سيدنا صاعد sent messengers to Rustam to tell them about Islam and to ask them to get into their religion but Rustam of course refused and the battle started after that the battle was so fierce that it went on for four days the Muslims fought very very bravely they fought with skills and it was a big victory for the Muslims so سيدنا عمر made سيدنا صاعد رضي الله وان the governor of the kufa after that and one time سيدنا عمر received a complaint about against ساعد رضي الله وان and he called him and he asked him to come to Medina left kufa and came to سيدنا ومرضي الله وان and he asked him what's the problem with people he said I pray for them the same way سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم used to pray with us I made the first two rakahs long and then I shortened the next two rakahs so that was the time when ساعد رضي الله وان he wanted to be in Medina so he didn't go back anymore to kufa and he left that position and سيدنا ساعد رضي الله وان came and he lived with سيدنا عمر and he loved سيدنا ساعد and he made him one of the six people he he suggested that he is one of the six people who are eligible to be the Khalifa after him and he said if he came the Khalifa then it is وإلا otherwise I asked the Khalifa after me to use him I did not ask him to be away from his position because of anything bad that he made or any treason that he made he was a good person and he suggested that he is to be well taken care of ساعد رضي الله وان stayed in Medina until he died in the year 55 of Hijra he was over 90 years old and his son talks about that time and he said my father was having his last breath in my lap and I was crying so he looked at me and he said why are you crying my son and I said because of what I am seeing you are dying and he said don't worry الله will not punish me I am of the people of Jannah this is what سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم had promised me but he asked him to take a garment to open and they close it and he asked him to take a garment made of wool and he said let it be my shroud I wore this during the day of Badr and I have saved it to be my shroud سيدنا ساعد passed away and he was he had his wish and that garment was his shroud and he was buried in جنة البقية سبحان الله this was سيدنا ساعد the brave young man who embraced Islam immediately after the wonderful dream he has seen he knew that worshipping idols is nothing but some false but corruption and he was looking for the truth and Allah SWT showed it to him may Allah SWT help us raise our children to be the like of سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
