 أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين بارئ الخلائق أجمعين باعث الأنبياء والمرسلين ثم الصلاة والسلام على خير خلقه العبد المؤيد والرسول المسدد حبيبي إله العالمين أب القاسم المصطفى محمد وعلى أهل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين وصحابته المنتجبين صلى الله عليك يا رسول الله صلى الله عليك يا سيدي يا رحمة الله الواسعى ويا نجاتل ويا بيا شهيد كربلا يا علي تناي تنام سادتي فنفوز فوزا عظيم من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولا هماء وما يدريك لعله يتزكا أو يذكر فتا فعه الذكراء صلى الله عليه وعلى محمد وعلى محمد ثم صلى الله عليك يا رسول الله ثم صلى الله عليك يا رسول الله أول مرسة في حفظ عبس أو عبس وتولا يخبرنا عن قصة من شخص who frowned and turned away when the blind man came to him he frowned and turned away when the blind man came to him and then first the verse is speaking in third term third person the person is not there he frowned and he turned away when the blind man came to him and then the Quran starts speaking to that person directly first person and how do you know that this person will not become righteous or perhaps he will be reminded and the reminder will benefit him the verses are obviously scolding someone someone is being lectured someone is being lectured by Allah SWT in these verses who is that person that looked away and frowned who is that person that was approached by a blind man and he ignored that blind man he humiliated him he insulted him and rather he looked to the rich men that were sitting next to him أما من استغنى فأنت له تصدق as for the rich people you give your attention to them وأما من جاءك يسعى فأنت عنه وأما من جاءك يسعى فأنت عنه تلها as for the one that comes to you the one who is poor the one who is not rich like the others you turn away from and you ignore who are these verses speaking about according to the Sunni school of thought and Sunni exegesis وفسرين they believe that these verses are speaking about رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله رسول الله is being addressed in these verses رسول الله is being scorned he's being scolded he's being lectured in these verses while according to the school of thought والتانب أهل البيت according to our imams and our scholars the one that is being addressed by these verses is whom أثمانة بن عفان or a man from بن أمية a man from بن أمية now this has been the setup throughout history Sunni scholars believe that this is رسول الله being addressed and Shi'a scholars believe that this is رثمانة بن عفان and this is how it's been however there is one or two contemporary Shi'a scholars that believe this is not عثمانة بن عفان but rather رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله and this created a controversy and this brought back the discussion now who is the verse who are these verses speaking about tonight my dear brothers and sisters in the minutes that we have with you at your service we want to see first of all why do our Sunni brothers and sisters believe that this is رسول الله why what proof do they have what evidence do they have to what evidence and proof do are there any Shi'a scholars have when they say that this is عثمان بن عفان do they have something personal against عثمان or we have proof and evidence three are there any Shi'a scholars that believe this is رسول الله and not عثمان as it has been ascribed to some is this true are there Shi'a scholars that believe that this is رسول الله and not عثمان and fourth what is our humble opinion on this topic objectively unbiasedly by looking at the evidence by looking at the proof what is our opinion according to the Quran itself and according to the narrations with all the evidence and proof that we have what is the conclusion that we arrive at is mentioned in this verse عبسة وتولة is this رسول الله or is this someone else صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم keep in mind that we have been raised we followers of Ahl al-Bayt we have been raised to believe we grew up with this the رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Quran testifies to this the Quran says وإنك لعلى خلقٍ عظيم you have high manners you have the greatest manners and he himself رسول الله states that I was sent to perfect people's manners and akhlaq إنما بعث لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم has the best manners is it possible رسول الله that was sent to perfect people's manners that Allah tells us that he has the greatest of manners is it possible that رسول الله frowns at a blind man and turns away from a blind man and gives his attention to rich to rich men and he ignores the poor blind man is this the akhlaq of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم is this the رسول الله that we have been raised to know or is it someone else it's one of the companions of رسول الله it was him that frowned and turned away from the blind man however there were some people that tried to protect this companion protect him at the cost of whom at the cost of رسول الله instead of blaming putting the blame on this companion they said you know what well we can't change the verse we can't change the words of the verse so let's change the meaning of the verse instead of saying that it was revealed about رسول الله let's say that it was instead of saying that it was revealed about so and so let's say that it was revealed about رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم is this this is a possibility as well or some might say and there are some from our communities from the shiree community there are some that ascribe themselves to the Islamic seminary on our scholars we should not be too naive رسول الله is a man at the end of the day he's a human and human beings they have emotions sometimes they get angry they frown, they turn away they get upset the prophet is a human being at the end of the day he's not supernatural he's not a super human he's a human being so it's possible that رسول الله could have frowned and turned away just like any human being is this also a possibility or no? let's see let's first off begin with the sunni opinion on this verse they believe that it was revealed regarding رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم why let us see صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم the sunni narration they say and this is in their books of تفسير in the تفسير of الفخر الرازي تفسير القرطبي which is known as الجامع على حكام القرآن تفسير الزمخشري تفسير الكشاف and others very well known sunni scholars of تفسير they mention this scenario as I will mention it now they say that رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting with the top leaders of قريش صناديد قريش he was sitting with them and he was having a discussion he was trying to get them to convert to Islam he was trying his best they say this طامع في إسلامهم he was very interested in getting them to convert why because these are powerful and rich men in قريش if they were to convert to Islam two things will happen one because of them others will convert to Islam they will get others to convert two they will bring in cash they will bring in money صلى الله عليه وسلم was looking he was trying to get these men to convert to Islam so number one to increase his followers and number two to get money these people will bring in money to support Islam and he was in a deep conversation trying his best to convert these people into Islam who were these men from قريش and his followers themselves they disagree some say it was ذانكله رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم that's one and this is the opinion of صفيان الثوري others say it was عتبة عتبة the father of Hind the mother of Mu'awiya his brother عيبة عبي ابن خلف these are well-known men from قريش رسول الله was trying his best to get them to convert others say it was الوليد ابن المغيرة well-known figure who had rejected رسول الله had called him a magician had called him insane now رسول الله was trying to get him to convert others say and this is the opinion of but this was أبو جهل the arch nemesis the arch enemy of رسول الله and شيبان عتبة those who فاء رسول الله رسول الله was trying to get them to convert to Islam he was trying his best they give us a picture رسول الله was sitting with them trying his best to convert these men into Islam in the middle of this conversation all of a sudden a blind man by the name of Abdullah ابن أم مكتوم one of the companions of رسول الله who was blind he was a blind man and he was poor he wasn't so rich he didn't own anything he was an average person poor guy he comes he comes into the conversation and he interrupts رسول الله صلى الله عليه واله according to their opinion this is all according to the Sunni opinion Abdullah ابن أم مكتوم also known as ابن أم مكتوم he comes in and he interjects and he interferes in the conversation and he wants to ask رسول الله he questioned رسول الله was very upset that this person is he's interrupting he's interrupting this very important conversation with صناديد قريش the leaders of قريش now why was he so upset he was upset to the point that he frowned he frowned at this blind man ابن أم مكتوم he frowned at him and he turned away he looked to the other side he ignored him why well one one he was busy with something more important this is what they say this is I'm giving them I'm trying to explain what they said and then we'll have our answer so supposedly رسول الله was having a very important conversation something a lot more important than what ابن أم مكتوم wanted to ask about this question wasn't very important you know perhaps something about وضو something about صلاة while رسول الله صلى الله عليه وعاله was trying to get these men to convert to Islam with all the advantages that it would bring رسول الله was upset this is one possible reason why رسول الله got upset two perhaps because ابن أم مكتوم's question wasn't very important he could have waited it wasn't like it's an emergency that he had to interrupt رسول الله he could have waited 30 minutes more less he could have waited until رسول الله finished then he could have interrupted but he didn't he interrupted he couldn't wait رسول الله فرانت ثم one possible reason is that interrupting a conversation whether it's important or not important that's annoying you know when you're having a conversation with your wife and your kids come and disturb you they come and interrupt you they come and ask they want food they want water they want something and you get annoyed you're having a deep conversation with your wife you haven't seen her all day you just came back from work and now your child interrupts or you're having a conversation with your friend and your wife interrupts or your husband interrupts you're speaking on the phone with your girlfriend the lady obviously you're talking about something very important something serious and then your husband he's asking for toothpaste or he can't find the shampoo or he can't find the car keys or something that's very annoying especially because you want to go back to the conversation and you lose your train of thought that's annoying this is a reason another reason and this is what they say this is what the Sunni narration says رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم was annoyed one of the reasons why he was annoyed is that he was talking to these rich men from Quraish powerful aristocrats very rich very important people all of a sudden this blind poor person comes and interrupts and he speaks to رسول الله رسول الله ثاته himself I don't want this guy to come right now because these men who I'm trying to convert they're going to think that all of my followers are like him all of my followers are blind they're poor they're low class they're from the poor class and these guys are going to be turned off they're going to think that if Muhammed's followers are like him then you know what forget it this is exactly what القرطبي mentions in his تفسير رسول الله he said to himself يقول هؤلاء إنما اتباعه العميان والسفلة والعبيد these men are going to think to themselves that all of my followers are blind they're poor and they're from the low class so basically رسول الله was embarrassed of ابن المكتوب he was embarrassed he didn't want it to show up he wanted to stay away because he was on a mission and he was embarrassing him so what happened رسول الله frowns and he turns away and he's disturbed he wants ابن المكتوب to go away and what happens الله reveals these verses عبسا وتولى he frowned and he looked away انجاءه الأعماء when the blind man came to him وما يدريكه وما يدريكه الله يدريه رسول الله يسألونه يا رسول الله كيف تعرفه ربما هذا المسجد يصبح رائع او يذكروا فتنفعوا الذكرة او يذكروا ويفهموا ويفهموا اما من استغنى فانت له تصدده كما لديه رائع فقرش وما عليك الله يزكى وما عليك الله يزكى ما هو لك اذا أن تخلق لك من رائع ما هو لك وما من جاءك يسعى وهو يخشى فانت عنه تلها كما لديك لديك ويجعله افراد وما لديك وما لديك فرص الله فالفرصة يتكلم عن رص الله وما لديك الله يزكى رص الله يزكى يسكى للمشاهد للمشاهد للمشاهد للمشاهد للمشاهد وما يقولون يخبرون رص الله بعد ان يزكى وما يخبرون يرى ابن أمكتم يخبرونه مرحبا مرحبا بمنعات ابني فيه ربي مرحبا بمنعات ابني فيه ربي Hello or welcome to the person whom I was lectured because of by Allah Allah lectured me because of you Welcome him to make things up for him to ابن أمكتم when ever رص الله يجب أن يجب أن أبن أم مكتوم يجب أن يقوم برائعه في مكانه لكي يجب أن يفعله أفضل يجب أن يجب أن أبن أم مكتوم يجب أن يقوم برائعه في مكانه الآن هذا هو سني أفنين صلى علام محمد وعلم محمد الآن بعض سني أسكالر عندما يرى أن هذه المتحدة يفعل ماذا؟ أنه يعملية رسول الله هذا هو سلطة رسول الله وهم يعرفون أن رسول الله يفعل هذا وهم يعرفون أن هذا لا يجب أن يفعل جيدا مع رسول الله وهم يفعلون ورسول الله أن القرآن يتكلم بكثيرا هم يعرفون أن هناك شيء أفضل لذا ماذا يفعل؟ هناك بعض أسكالر يجب أن يفعل شيء أفضل كيف؟ يقولون أن الله ليس رسول الله لا ما أبن أم مكتوم فعله كان بخير كان بخير لأن أبن أم مكتوم وربت رسول الله ما فعله كان بخير إذا أبن أم مكتوم فعل شيء بخير وماذا يجب أن يفعله؟ لماذا يفعل؟ يقولون أنه سبب رسول الله يقولون لأن الله لم أردت أسكالر الجميع ومكتوم بخير ومعاقبه لذا الله فعله رسول الله ونبقى أم مكتوم فعله كان بخير لذا أرته لذا أرته ولكن الله لا أردت أسكالر الجميع بخير you see? this is one other justification. another they say that yeah what رسول الله did wasn't bad. even though he got lectured. but it wasn't bad. it doesn't contradict his Akhlaq because he knew that ibn Umm Maqtum had strong faith, had strong iman and he wouldn't be affected. رسول الله knew that ibn Umm Maqtum will not be offended. so he frowned at عبد الشركة. و discount on him and he looked away. So it's okay. اجيب.Another justification that they mention. You know when they say that how could رسول الله possibly do this? Frown at a man and turn away. They say well it's a blindness blind. And also found at him. He's a blind man. He couldn't see. So what's the big deal? It's okay to frown as someone who's blind. ايه؟建literup أول. يوجد في النساء جيد جيد جيد جيد بسبب الوقت أنه اспوز الغرائي ب份 وغرائي ولينا وكرنين ووخش جيد جيد جيد جيد جيد لما يمكنه قرصة ب구요جة27 وهي بطارق atis. يophone جيد من يهار يس之 يال في وزه لن يكونوا مجموعة مع رصول الله أننا نعرفه. هذا هو أفن العبنية. ماذا هو أفن العبنية؟ لقد أردت من أحد من المؤسسين. لقد أردت من أحد من المؤسسين أن يجب أن تقولوا عن هذه الأفنية عبسة وتواللاء. الآن سنرى ما أن أعرف عن هذه الأفنية. صلى الله عليه وسلم. سيئ السكولرين من المرة الأسيد المرتلة أو من أبناء. حتى الآن أبقى 99% of our scholars, maybe even more than 99%, 99.95% of our scholars. They say that these verses were not revealed about رصول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. Rather they were revealed about أثمان ابن عفان or a man from بن أمية. Now our narrations, they tell us the following story. And this is in تفسير القمي. تفسير علي ابن أبراهيم القمي. He says that رصول الله was sitting with a group of his companions. رصول الله was sitting with a group of his companions. There is no mention of صنع عديد قريش, the powerful man of قريش. رصول الله was sitting with a group of his companions. And among them was عثمان ابن عفان. He was also sitting. And ابن أمكتوم عبد الله بن أمكتوم. He came in to this session of رصول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. ابن أمكتوم comes and sits next to him. عثمان. عثمان. We'll talk about this later. We'll get to this, the personality of عثمان. عثمان. When he saw ابن أمكتوم who was poor, who was blind, who was not so fortunate. When he saw ابن أمكتوم came and sat next to him. عثمان frowned and looked away. How could this man, ابن أمكتوم, out of all the places he chooses and comes and sits next to me? Doesn't he know that I'm rich? Doesn't he know that I'm عثمان ابن عفان? I'm from بن أمكتوم. So he frowned and he looked away. Because a poor man came and sat next to him. And here the verses were brought down. عبس وتولى. انجاه الععمة. He frowned and he looked away. When the blind man came to him. Came and sat next to him. وما يدريك العله يزكا. عثمان. How do you know? What do you know? Perhaps this person will come and benefit from رسول الله. He will become righteous. He will learn. He will receive a remembrance. And he will benefit from that remembrance. أما من استغنى فأنت له تصدّى. As for the rich men, your friends. You give them your attention. When a poor man like بن أمكتوم comes. You gather your clothing. You gather your clothes. As if his poverty will. You'll pick up his poverty. As if it's like an illness that you're afraid. You will catch. So the verses come regarding. This is according to تفسير القمين. According to تفسير مجمع البيان با يشيخ الطبرسي. He says. روعي عن الصادق عليه الصلاة والسلام. أنها نزلت في رجل من بن أمية. كان عند النبي. فجاء ابن أمكتوم. فلما رأىه تقذر منه. وعبس في وجهه. وجمع نفسه. وعرغ بوجه عنه. He says that the رسول الله was sitting. With a group of people. And a man from بن أمية. مام صادق عليه الصلاة والسلام. He says a man from بن أمية. He doesn't tell us what his name is. And I will remark on this in a couple of minutes. A man from بن أمية was sitting. ابن أمكتوم. Comes and sits next to that man from بن أمية. That man from بن أمية. You know he was disgusted. By that poor man. By the blind man. Maybe his clothing wasn't so perfect. And this man from بن أمية. He's rich. So he gathered himself. And his clothing. And he frowned and he looked away. He frowned and he looked away. And then. الشيخ الطبرسي المجمع البيان. He tells us more. That when رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله. When he would see بن أمكتوم. He would say. مرحباً. لا يعاتبني فيك ربي. أبدا. He would welcome him. And he would say. My Lord will never lecture me about you. You see the difference between the two traditions. Between the two narrations. The Sunni narration. Would say the رسول الله. Would tell بن أمكتوم. That what. I welcome the one that Allah lectured me about. In this narration. The Prophet says. My Lord will never lecture me about you. Meaning what. Meaning that if some people assume. That I was lectured about you. No. It's not me. لا يعاتبني فيك ربي. My Lord will not. Scold me. Or lecture me. Because of you. Now. Imam صادق عليه السلام. In this narration. He says. رجل من بن أمية. Someone from بن أمية. He doesn't say who. Most likely. It's whom. It's whom. أثمان بن عفان. أثمان بن عفان. It's from بن أمية. By why does Imam صادق. Mention his name. أرف تقية. أرف تقية. Imam صادق. Because. We know that in some majalis. In some. Gatherings Imam صادق. In the gatherings of Imam صادق. There were spies. In the gatherings of Imam صادق. And this was at the time. That بن أمية. They were. They were in power. So if Imam صادق. To bring the name of أثمان بن عفان. Who was very revered by بن أمية. And there were spies in his gatherings. This would put him in trouble. Thus. Most likely. I presume. This is my own. This is my own personal analysis. That. رجل من بن أمية. Most likely is أثمان بن عفان. And the Imam is practicing تقية. Notice the distortion in the narration. In the first narration. The Sunni narration. The Imam. The Prophet welcomes بن أم مكتوم. And he says. This is the one that Allah lectured me. Because of. And this narration. The Prophet says. My God will. My Lord will never lecture me. Because of you. You see the difference. صلى الله عليه وسلم. Now that we know the two opinions. And we saw this story. We saw the two scenarios. We saw the scenario that Sunni scholars gave us. The Sunni tradition. That this was رسول الله. That frowned and looked away. From بن أم مكتوم. And we saw the Shi'i scenario. The scenario that the أهل البيت gave us. That it wasn't رسول الله. It was either a man from بن أمية. Or. أثمان بن عفان. He frowned and he looked away. From the blind man. The poor man. أبن أم مكتوم. Now we have two traditions. Two narrations. Which one are we going to accept? Now we have to be objective. Let's not be biased. Just because this is a Shi'i tradition. And that's a Sunni tradition. That doesn't. That's not an excuse. Let's be academic. Let's be objective. Let's be unbiased. Let's see. Which one we should choose? According to both schools of thought. Sunnis and Shi'i schools of thought. If there are contradicting narrations. If there are two conflicting narrations. Conflicting traditions. Which one should we choose? All schools of thought agree. We should choose the Hadith. The narration that conforms to the Qur'an. The one that is compatible with the Qur'an. We choose. And the one that is not compatible with the Qur'an. The one that contradicts the Qur'an. We neglect. Right? So let's come and see. Which opinion. Which theory. Which scenario. Is compatible with the Qur'an. And which one contradicts the Qur'an. Let's choose the Sunni opinion. The one that says it was a Rasool Allah. That frowned and looked away. Is this compatible with the Qur'an? Let's see. There's this tradition. There's this narration. This Hadith. Does it not conflict and contradict the Qur'an? Number one. The Qur'an says. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. وأنك لا على خلق عظيم. يا رسول الله. You have great manners. You have high manners. You know. This is not coming from someone ordinary. This is not coming from someone ordinary. Let me give you an example. If I see someone playing basketball. Right? And I think that he's fantastic. I tell him. You're a good basketball player. Is my testimony worth a lot? You know. It could be worth a lot to my family. To my family members. Might be worth a lot to my friends. But to ordinary people. Who cares if I think someone. Is a good basketball player. Okay. How about another basketball player? How about another basketball player? Another basketball player. Seize a person playing basketball. He tells them. You know what? You're a good basketball player. You're a good. How about this time? Is that a good testimony? Yes. Because it's coming from a basketball player. How about if it comes from Michael Jordan? Michael Jordan. The best basketball player in history. If he sees a person and he says. You're a good basketball player. What do you think of this testimony? Is this good or not good? Obviously it's good. That person should put this testimony in a plaque. And hang it up somewhere. Because it's coming from Michael Jordan. Now who's telling رصور الله. That you have good manners. This is not a normal person. This is not a normal. This is not a human being. Allah who has the best of all manners. Is telling رصور الله. You see? This is a testimony. It's coming from the one who has the best of all manners. Allah. When رصور الله says regarding Allah. ادبني ربي فأحسنة اديبي. Allah disciplined me. Allah taught me manners. Allah who is the greatest of all is calling رصور الله. He's telling him we have great manners. Allah has impressed with the manners of رصور الله. وانك لعلى خلق عظيم. Allah is telling him وانك لعلى خلق عظيم. A person who has manners like this. عبسة وطولة. Frowns. And turns away from a blind man. Is there no contradiction between this? If we say that this verse was revealed about رصور الله. Isn't there a contradiction with وانك لعلى خلق عظيم. What do you say? Of course there's a contradiction. That means that the Qur'an contradicts itself. Allah contradicts himself on the Qur'an. Here he tells us وانك لعلى خلق عظيم. And here he tells us عبسة وطولة. The prophet found and turned away when a blind man came to him. That's a clear contradiction. Allah would never contradict himself. And another verse. فبما رحمة من الله لنت لهم out of the mercy of Allah. يا رصور الله. You softened for them. You softened for your people. For your companions. For these pagan Arabs. For these pagans. ولو كنت فضن غليل القلب لنفضوا من حولك. If you were harsh. If you had rough manners. They would have left you. They wouldn't have listened to you. So basically Allah is saying رصور الله that you softened. You have good manners. You attracted people with your manners. And then Allah says عبسة وطولة And he's talking about رصور الله. This is clearly what? A contradiction. Here Allah says you softened for them. You have good manners. You attracted them with your manners. And then he says you found it to a blind man and he lectures it. Impossible. And another verse. Allah orders the prophet to show humility and humbleness to the believers. وخفض جناح كلمان التبعك من المؤمنين. Allah says lower your wings to those who follow you from the believers. Lower your wings. What does that mean? Lower your wings. Have you seen birds? Have you seen peacocks? No peacocks. They have beautiful feathers. All colorful. When a peacock wants to show off especially a male peacock and a female peacock when a male peacock sees a female peacock what does he do? He shows off his feathers. It's a sign of arrogance. He's showing off. But when no one's looking around he lowers his wings and his feathers out of humility. Allah tells and there's a lot of verses. For example there's verses that speak to children regarding their parents. وخفض لهما جناح الزل من الرحمة. Lower your wings towards your parents. Meaning show them humility. Show them humbleness. Allah ﷻ orders the prophet to show humility and humbleness to the believers. If these verses عبسة وطولة we're talking about رسول الله. Is this humility? This is what? This is arrogant. That means the رسول الله is disobeying Allah. That means the رسول الله committed a sin. That means the رسول الله is none infallible. Do you accept this? Do we accept this? I don't think even our Sunni brothers and sisters accept this. But they have to think. They have to look at other verses and compare and contrast. If you think that رسول الله was the one that found and looked away that means he's not even infallible. Not alone. You know, his أخلاق. He's not even infallible because here Allah ﷻ tells him that lower your wings to the believers. Show humility. And another verse بالمؤمنين رأوف الرحيم. The prophet is all merciful to the believers. And another verse وما أرسلناك إلا رحمة للعالمين. وسأي يا رسول الله as a mercy for mankind. What kind of mercy is this? That the prophet found and he looks away. صلى الله عليه وسلم وعاله محمد. Thus clearly when we compare the two opinions when we compare the two theories the Shi'a theory and the Sunni theory. The theory that says these verses were revealed regarding the prophet or the theory that says these verses were revealed regarding عثمان بن عفن. It's a no-brainer. When we look at the Qur'an when we examine the Qur'an if we were to think that these verses were revealed regarding the prophet we are contradicting the Qur'an itself. Let's contradict the Qur'an. Furthermore if we were to analyze the Sunni theory even more. The Sunni opinion even more. The Sunni opinion stated the Sunni narration stated that the Rasoolallah was very interested in the conversion of these men. صنادي القرش. He was interested. He was very interested in their conversion. He was trying his best to convert them. Why? Because they'll bring in a lot of followers and they'll bring in a lot of money. Is this the Rasoolallah that we know? That's looking for a lot of followers? A big following? No. And he's looking for money as well. Rasoolallah had all the money that he wanted. Rasoolallah was not in need of money. Rasoolallah had the money of خديجة عليها السلام. She had left him all of her wealth. Rasoolallah was not in need of their wealth. This is not the Rasoolallah that we know. Second, Rasoolallah gave all his attention to these rich مشركين and I wish they were believers. They were مشركين they were idol worshippers and he ignores a believer. This is not part of the اخلاق of the Rasoolallah. Rasoolallah would give his attention equally to all of his followers. His صحابة among his اخلاق was that he would give his attention equally. If he were to speak he would look at one of the صحابة and then he would look at the other one equally. Meaning if he gave his attention to one of the صحابة for example a minute he would give his attention to the other صحابة a minute here a minute here a minute here without any discrimination. This is the Rasoolallah that we know. And this is among the believers. Now here the Rasoolallah gives his attention to non-believers to مشركين to idol worshippers and he ignores a believer اي محمد what this happened? That's two. Three they say the Rasoolallah thought to himself that these people are going to think all of my followers are blind and poor and from the low class so he is ashamed he was embarrassed of أبن أم مكتوم he wanted to get rid of him because he was embarrassed of him is this the Rasoolallah that we know he's ashamed of a blind man of a poor man he didn't want them to think that his followers are poor first of all how do they know what was the Rasoolallah thinking in his mind? The narrator how does he know what was the Rasoolallah thinking? Was he inside and mind to know well the prophet was thinking second Rasoolallah had so many poor followers in fact most of his followers were poor they were from the low class Rasoolallah had designated a corner in his message it's called أصفة for all the poor people that did not own homes he had a corner for them and it still exists shockingly surprisingly the Saudis have not destroyed the صفة the صفة inside المزيد النبوي it exists till today Rasoolallah would sit with them he would go and eat with them he would go and have lunch or dinner with these poor people Rasoolallah was never ashamed of having poor followers or ashamed of sitting with them they say that this story does not contradict the infallibility of Rasoolallah yes perhaps it does not contradict his infallibility but it contradicts his اخلاق when you read these books of Tafseer by so many scholars do you tell them at the end of the day it does not conflict with the infallibility of Rasoolallah let's say it does not conflict with the infallibility of Rasoolallah what about his اخلاق it doesn't conflict with the اخلاق of Rasoolallah رسول الله حتى بست اخلاق with his enemies let alone his followers the story of the Jewish lady his neighbor who would bring out trash and would put it in front of the house of Rasoolallah every day Rasoolallah never heard her never yelled at her never insulted her on the contrary when she fell ill one day Rasoolallah comes out of his house and he sees that there's no trash he says where you know why is it there trash they told him that that lady the Jewish lady she's ill she's sleeping at her house he said let's go and visit her he went and he visited her رسول الله حتى بست اخلاق with his صحابة some of them were rough some of them were rigid some of them had tough اخلاق يا رسول الله حتى بست of manners they would come inside his house and they would shout they would call him by his name رسول الله and they would say اللهم صلى الله عليه وسلم رسول الله they would go inside his house without asking for permission يا رسول الله ديبنان tell them don't come الله told them not to come there's a verse that was revealed لا تتخلوا بيوت النبي حتى يؤذن لكم دونان enter the prophet's house unless you've been given permission because the Rasoolallah was too embarrassed to tell them don't enter my house this was the اخلاق رسول الله كان يوجد 9 حلوات كل one of them has had her own personality had her own اخلاق especially one of them you all know شهر her own اخلاق يا رسول الله put up with her اخلاق he put up with her stubbornness رسول الله was known for his great اخلاق here all of a sudden he frowns and he turns away on the contrary let's look at the اخلاق اخلاق عثمان بن عفان let's see that he frowned and turned away it's more compatible with the اخلاق of رسول الله with the اخلاق of عثمان بن عفان when we read the biography of عثمان بن عفان we see that with عبدالله بن مسعود the famous companion of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم he disagreed with him he beat عبدالله بن مسعود to the point that his ribs were broken and if you want a sunni sauce مروج الهب I apologize انساب الأشراف انساب الأشراف للبلاثري sunni scholar a sunni sauce he mentions that عثمان بن عفان he beat عبدالله بن مسعود the famous صحابي of رسول الله to the point that his ribs is this اخلاق is this manners with عمار بن ياسر very well known صحابي of رسول الله who is رسول الله loved and in fact he is among those who رسول الله told him his place in paradise صبران يا آله ياسر فإن موعدكم الجنة when his parents died ياسر عن سمية رسول الله he eulogized them and he told عمار صبران يا آله ياسر have patience your place is in paradise عمار بن ياسر was abused physically physically abused by عثمان بن عفان numerous times at times he was pushed at other times he was beaten once عمار بن ياسر was he objected he objected to عثمان he told him that you know some of the things that you're doing are not Islamic when عثمان بن عفان was in office when he was the Khalifa عمار was brave he objected to him he had عثمان told his people grab عمار pull his hands and his feet with ropes and then he came and he beat عثمان he came and he beat عمار severely until عمار had hernia he had a hernia because of the beating that he received at the order of عثمان بن عفان is this are these matters and again this will be found in انساب الأشراف by البلادري who's a Sunni scholar I'm not mentioning any Shi'i sources was he not the one عثمان بن عفان was he not the one that sent أبوذر الغفاري into exile he sent him to الربثة the famous Sahabi of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم the one who always spoke the truth he never lied to the point that رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم stated regarding أبوذر he said ما عظلة الخضراء ولا عقلة الغبراء على ذي لحجة أصدق من أبوذر that the sun has not risen on someone who is more honest honest and truth speaking than أبوذر he sends him to الربثة and أبوذر was ill he dies by himself he needed medical attention he dies and when عمار objected to عثمان بن عفان for sending أبوذر to الربثة عثمان then I'll send you as well I'll send you as well إمام علي علي السلام came and objected to عثمان he told him you know what you're also deserving of being sent into exile عثمان tells إمام علي علي السلام he thrown in his him by sending him into exile in fact today today I was doing some research even though this lecture was prepared a long time ago today I was reading about the أخلاق of عثمان and many times I found him to curse as some of the most prominent صحابي with عبد الله بن مسعود with عمار بن ياسر he uses some of the dirtiest language with عمار بن ياسر is this أخلاق read and saab el-ashraf by البلادري and see some of the أخلاق of عثمان بن عفان was he not the one that beat his wife أم كلثوم the daughter of رسول الله صلى الله عليه واله if أم كلثوم is the daughter this is obviously a debate than رسول الله did he only have فاطمة زهراء as his daughter or he had three other daughters زيناب أم كلثوم الرقية or were they the daughters of the sister of خديجة yet were raised at the house of رسول الله anyway there was a debate there are some that say there were the daughters of رسول الله some say that أم كلثوم the daughter of رسول الله some historians say he beat أم كلثوم the daughter of رسول الله to the point that after three days she died she died and this is also when أنساب الأشراف مع البلادري the one who beats the daughter of رسول الله to the point that he killed her and when he killed her when she died رسول الله cursed him he said له الله he killed her may Allah kill her this is the أخلاق of this man now you have a verse عبس وتولى أنجاءه الأعمى he found and truned away when a blind man came to him now you have two options to say this was رسول الله or this was عثمان أبن عفان you make that choice who do you say have some be be objective let's be objective and I wish that our sunni brothers and sisters who insha'Allah hopefully will listen to this I hope they will be objective and they decide that this verse he found and he looked away it's more befitting of رسول الله or it's more befitting of عثمان أبن عفان they say that this verse the verses are speaking to رسول الله عبس وتولى أنجاءه الأعمى وما يدريك العله يزكى the verses are speaking and in the Quran الله only speaks to رسول الله and in these verses first it's speaking and third person then it turns into first person وما يدريك and how do you know perhaps he becomes righteous they say see it's obviously the verses are the verses are addressing رسول الله because in the Quran الله only addresses رسول الله first of all who told you that who told you that الله only addresses رسول الله we've seen many cases in the Quran الله addresses others الله addresses فرعون in the Quran الآن وقد عصيت قبل وكنت من المفسدين الله addresses فرعون فاليوما نجيك ببدنك today we preserve your body الله speaks to فرعون الله speaks addresses شيطان in the Quran فخرج فأنك من الصغرين leave paradise leave الله addresses to the shaitan وشارككم في الأموال والأولاد and be their partners الله speaks to the shaitan be their partners in their in their children and in their wealth so the same way that Allah addresses the prophet in the Quran الله addresses others in the Quran that's not sufficient proof now are there shi'i scholars that say these verses were revealed regarding رصول الله from the time of أسيد المرتضة عبتل the present all of our scholars said that this was not رصول الله this is othman yes maybe one or two or three scholars two or three contemporary scholars they believe that it's رصول الله and not othman but the vast majority of our scholars there's a اجمع there's a consensus among our scholars they believe that it's othman yes some of our scholars they said that hypothetically speaking if it was رصول الله it does not contradict his infallibility they say see they said it does not contradict his infallibility they said hypothetically speaking they didn't say we believe this is if it's رصول الله it doesn't contradict his his infallibility it's not his opinion finally I conclude my dear brothers and sisters صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى محمد you know when we have debates with our suddenly brothers and sisters regarding these verses عبسة وطولة when he tell them that these verses were revealed regarding othman they get very offended they get very offended you say you like to insult the Sahaba you like to insult othman you have no love for othman you want to insult him oh I see so if we ascribe these verses to othman it's an insult but if we ascribe them to رصول الله it's not an insult it's not an insult you get offended when we say this is othman but you don't get offended when you say this is رصول الله I wish I wish that you would love رصول الله as much as you love othman they are willing to humiliate and insult رصول الله just to protect some individuals is this fair they narrate that رصول الله صلى الله عليه واله one day was sitting with a group of his Sahaba and his legs were extended and his clothing was away his style his style his style his style his style his style the way his thighs were showing imagine they said رصول الله his thigh his thigh was showing his leg his thigh was showing his thigh was showing to the Sahaba Abu Bakr came and رصول الله ordained his sitting اثمان came in Immediately رصول الله He covered his thigh and he covered his legs they told him why رصول الله he said أن يكونون أجلسين في أثمان أثمان. لا تريد أن يكونوا أجلسين في أثمان أثمان؟ يتفقون. يتفقون رسول الله إلى هذا المستقبل فقط لتبقى من المرسل من أثمان هذا هو العظيم والله. هذا هو العظيم أن بعض المسلمين يستطيعون أن يتفقون ويقولون لا يتفقون الصحابة أنت تتفقون رسول الله وكنت تشهر بأن تتفقون الصحابة لأنك تستطيعون أن تتفقون رسول الله وكنت تقول أن رسول الله يتفقون وكنت تتفقون بأنك لا تتفقون الصحابة وكنت تستطيع أن تتفقون المسلمين من الأرقام هذا هو العظيم أثمان وما أدر كما أثمان من أخبرت معاوية إلى أمور؟ من أخبرت يزيد إلى أمور؟ لأنه هو أول من أمور أمور لتأكد من أمور عندما أثمان وصدقه لك 12 سنوات يأخبرت أمور ويأخبرت أمور بيرصور الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يأخبرت مروان ابن الحكام يجيبهم لاند ويجيبهم قاعد يأخبرت أبو سفيان يأخبرت معاوية وما أخبرت يزيد هو أثمان يأخبرتهم ومعاوية مستعمل لن يأخبر ومتلوى من those who had a hand in the tragedy of Karbala وانت Whose hands were stained by the blood of Imam Hassan was أثمان لأنه أتوى بري أميه لن يأخبر لا إلهه إلا الله
