 فشرف بالشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وأشهد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد سلاي إن شاء الله وإتعالى أريد أن أشهر أفضل معكم هذه أفضل that I will share with you إن شاء الله وإتعالى it has a very powerful meaning to it and it really makes us understand and come to know why the companions of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم they elevated in this world and they also got a high rank and a high position in the day of judgment my brothers and sisters it's important that we understand that we understand these individuals and their lives and their biography and that we study it and that we imitate them we copy them because wallahi they earned success in this world مشارقة الأرض ومغاربها the earth, the east and the west الله gave it to them مفاتح الدنيا the keys of this world they received it and in the day of judgment الله سبحانه وتعالى he already told them رضي الله عنهم ورضو عن Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah الله سبحانه وتعالى made us a people who follow them and that by following them Allah is also pleased with us as he said اولون من المهاجرين والانصار والذين اتبعوهم بإحسان راضي الله عنهم ورضو عن by us following the companions and taking their path we will receive Allah سبحانه وتعالى being pleased with us سبحانه وتعالى here is a story ونعمر رضي الله تعالى عنه became the khilafa or the khalifa ونعمر أبو بكر sorry ونعمر أبو بكر الشديق رضي الله تعالى عنه he became the khalifa خليفة المسلمين and he was the khalifa رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم the success after the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم عمر who was a man in virtue and he status after أبو بكر عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه was living in Medina with أبو بكر so أبو بكر came to عمر and he placed him عينه قاضيا على المدينة عمر was elected أبو بكر elected عمر to become the judge and the qazi in Medina فما كث عمر وسنة عمر stayed for one year as a qazi as a judge عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه he stayed as a judge for a year and it was said لم يفتح مجلسة he did not open a gathering meaning there was no disputes that came to his table for a year عمر رضي الله عنه did not deal with any case for that whole year ولم يختصم إليه الثلان not two people did not come and they did not argue in his courtroom so what عمر رضي الله عنه did was he came to أبو بكر فطالة من أبي بكر إعفاءه من القضاء he said release this responsibility I don't want to be a qazi anymore I don't want to be a judge فقال له أبو بكر أبو بكر ست عمر أبو بكر سته برد عمر أم من مشقة القضائي تطلبوا الإعفاء يا عمر is it because of the burdens and the responsibility that comes with judging is that why you want for me to release this responsibility of your shoulders is this why you want to be free from it is that the reason فقال لا يا خليفة رسول الله عمر replied to his older brother he said to him أبو بكر لا the خليفة رسول الله the successor after the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم now listen to the statement that عمر is going to put forward and look at what عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه says that is not the reason why I want you to release this responsibility of me يا خليفة رسول الله ولكن but لا حاجة لي عند قوم المؤمنين but the reality is I have no need or there is no need for me in the existence and the presence of a group of believers me being there as a judge there is no need for me عرف كل منهم each and every one of those believers he has recognized ماله من حق each and every one of them he has realized his rights فلم يطلب أكثر من who he has not requested for more than it each and every one of them those believers that you have placed me as a judge over them each and every one of them has come to understand his rights and he hasn't asked for more than it وما عليه من واجب and he has come to know that which is obligatory on him and that which he has to do فلم يقصر في أدائي and he hasn't come short in fulfilling that responsibility in fulfilling that obligation أحب كل منهم each and every one of them love لأخي for their brother ووَ DWIBAWLINAHFSI that which they love for themselves each and every one of them he loves for him اهدوم تفقدوه if one of them is absent from them and they don't see him for a couple of days they look for him ويذا مرض عادوه if he's sick and he's ill they visit him ويضفتقر أعانوه if he's in need يترى case and they support him وإذ حتاجه ساعده إنه هكذا يParty they aid him and they support him وإذا اصeiba وإذا يف 것ه مجددا ولن يخل留 هو خلال دينهم النصيحةه의 جنوبة يتبقى على نصيحة دينهم النصيحة حيث مجنوبة يتبقى على نصيحة وخلوقهم الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر ومشاركة ومشاركة جيدة ومشاركة العيوة ففي ما يختصمون ففي ما يختصمون why would they dispute why would they need a judge why would they dispute amongst themselves these are the people you've placed over me or Abu Bakr and this is why Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه he wanted this responsibility to be taken from him when I read this it gave me an understanding of why Allah سبحانه وتعالى elected these companions and selected them to be the ambassadors of Islam for them to be those who saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم only that anyone who studies the science of hadith the knowledge of hadith will know that if a companion was very young he was extremely young pay attention to this this is the value and the status of the companions that if a companion was extremely young his narration would then be considered like the narration of what if he's very young and he wasn't at the age of Tamiz the age where he can distinguish between things he was extremely young a little baby maybe in the his mom was breastfeeding him or he was a one-year-old or two-year-old what do scholars of hadith say is because he still has an honor you know why because his eyes saw the Prophet so what would they say they will say صحابي يوم برؤية he's a companion by the seeing تابعي يوم في الريواية but he's a تابعي in his narration because this looking at the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام your eyes seeing the Prophet whether you understand him whether you know that itself it's a virtue and that's what Allah chose these individuals and this is their character and their personality and until a nation a people turn out to be like this and they become like this success and prosperity don't wait for them don't wait for them success or prosperity we need to understand the importance the importance of following the footsteps of these companions so we can gain that which they also gained رضي الله تعالى عنهم anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect فإنه مني ومن الشيطان والله ورسوله بريئان منه الله and his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدوا الله إله إلا الله أستغفرواك وأتوبوا إليه
