 During the battle of Badr, a few people were killed from the Khufar. The Muslims were victorious. One of the people was the father of him, Atiba. He was killed. Another person was Mut'im Ibn Adi, the father of Jubey Ibn Mut'im. Mut'im Ibn Adi, he had a, Jubey had a servant, a slave. Very strong Abyssinian slave, by the name of Wahshi, Ibn Habib. Wahshi means savage. Harq means war, the savage, the son of war. This is what the type of name the Arabs used to give to their servants, because they wanted them to fight, to be warriors. And after the battle, they said to him that if they kill Sayidna Hamza, because he was involved in that battle and killing them. He said, if you kill him, we'll set you free. This man had one mission, to be free and kill Sayidna Hamza. During the battle of Uhud, all he was doing was looking for Sayidna Hamza, and he became successful and martyred Sayidna Hamza, who was the cousin of, who was the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ. He was his confidant, his best friend from childhood. He was also his milk brother. They were milked together by Suwaiba. So very close relationship, the Prophet ﷺ was devastated seeing them. And then not only he killed him, he opened his chest because him wanted to eat the liver of Sayidna Hamza. That's how angry she was. These are the type of people the Prophet ﷺ dealt with. You think times are tough now? You think they're tough? Look how he dealt with these people. But she opened the chest and he told the story to the Prophet ﷺ. He opened the chest of Sayidna Hamza and then he bit into that liver and then she vomited. She couldn't swallow it. And this is what God said in Ashifah, that she vomited that because Allah made her vomit. Because of the power of the blood of the martyrs of Sayidna Hamza. Hamza, if it had gone that inside of her body, if that blood would have gone inside the body of him, it would purify her from every sins that she has ever done. That's how powerful that is. That's how powerful the blood of Sayidna Hamza was. But then again, conquest of Mecca. They come, they conquer Mecca, everybody. All these guys flee. And he goes. Wahshi leaves and he goes to Taif. When he goes to Taif and then people start becoming Muslim and coming from Taif. And then they say, why don't you become Muslim? They say, I? Me? I'm a murderer. My name is on the list. The Prophet gave a list of the war criminals when he entered Mecca. These are war criminals. And Wahshi said, I'm one of those war criminals. There's no way I'd be forgiven. I write a letter to him. Can somebody deliver? So send the letter to the Prophet ﷺ. Would I be forgiven? Would I be forgiven? I've done all these wrongs. I killed Sayidna Hamza. I've done all these wrongs in my life. And the Prophet could not even answer. Then God sends revelation. For who? For Wahshi. The biggest enemy of Islam. The murderer of Sayidna Hamza. Allah is concerned with Wahshi. And he said, إِنَّا منْتَابَا وَآمَنَا وَعَمِلَ عَمَلَا صَالِحَ فَأُولَائِكَ يُبَدِلُ اللَّهُ سَيْئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتِ وَاَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورَ الرَّحِيمَا Except for those who make Toba, who believe in Allah and they do righteous action. Allah will turn their wrong action, their evil action into good action. And indeed he's forgiving and he's full of mercy. Revelation comes because of Wahshi. And then the message is sent to him. And then he says another letter. He said, those are lofty things. I don't even know how strong my Eman is going to be. I don't even know if I'm going to be able to do these great actions, Amal and Saleh. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do all of that stuff. Then the Prophet wants to say something, but Allah doesn't allow him to say anything. Allah wants to respond to Wahshi's letter. To Wahshi's letter. And he says, Allah does not forgive. And if you associate partner with him. But he forgives anything else. Allah will forgive anything else. As long as you don't associate partner with him, he'll forgive anything else. Wa man yushrik billahi fa qaddalla dalala ba'idah. And those who associate partner with Allah, indeed they're gone astray. And then he sends a letter back and he says, But I'm a mushrik. I live all my life with shirk. Look at this. Look at the patience of God. Look at the patience of God. Right? One of the Urdu poets said, He said, By the day I sinned, but he veils my sin out of his mercy. Because I'm bounded by a state of disobedience, but he's bounded by his mercy. And then he says, But I was a mushrik. Is there hope for me? I don't know if there's hope for me that I'll be forgiven. And then Allah sends down another revelation. And this, for us, we have to really reflect. This is how Allah is dealing with one of the worst human beings on this planet. And he says, Old service of God, Who have wronged yourself. In other words, you can't wrong me. You can't wrong God. You've wronged yourself. Do not despair from the mercy of Allah. Don't cut yourself from the mercy of Allah. Don't cut yourself from the mercy of Allah. Allah forgives all sins. He forgives everyone. Everything that you have done, Allah can forgive. Because he is forgiven. That's one of the names of Allah. Then, Wahshi came and took Shahada. It was then that he came and he sat in front of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and he became Muslim. And this is a man who was one of the greatest enemy of Islam. But look what he did. The story doesn't end there. The Prophet loved Wahshi. There's a hadith that people misunderstand. When he took the Shahada, the Prophet's face was down, he looked up, and he said, Is this Wahshi the Abyssinian slave? And he said, Yes, Ya Rasulallah. And he said, How did you kill Saynah Hamza? And then he told the story and the Prophet cried. But he gave him the Shahada. And he said, Tell Wahshi that try not to cross in front of me. And this is because he loved Wahshi so much. Because he said, Every time if I see him, I would remember the murder of my uncle. And I don't want Allah to punish him for that. I don't want Allah to punish him for that feeling that I have in my heart. This is why he is Wa Ma Ar-Sallaka Illa Rahmatan Lila Alameen that he was not sent by the mercy to all of creation. And Wahshi said, He sat on this path. And what did he do? Musa-e-Lemat Al-Kazab, after the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam all of these people rose up. They said, We are a Prophet. I am a Prophet. But the biggest one was Musa-e-Lemat. He had an army head. Massive amount of people behind him. And he claimed that he is a Prophet. One thing that about the Prophet is miracles. They say the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam whoever head he touched over. It's in the hadith. All of the people he rubbed their head as young children. Until they died, they had full set of head. Musa-e-Lemat Al-Kazab, whoever he rubbed over their head and their youth, they lost their hair. They became bald. It's one of the miracles of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. But Wahshi killed Musa-e-Lemat Al-Kazab. He is the one who destroyed one of the biggest enemies of Islam right after the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And he said, In my jahiliya, I killed the best of the believers. In my Islam, I killed the worst enemy of this religion. And this is why we have to make du'a for those people. We have to have mercy. This is why if you want this kind of akhlaq, this kind of character, take on the characteristics of God. Look how Allah treated this man. Look how patient he was with him. Look how much suffering went into this. Revelation came. This is now, look at what he means. Look at the Asbab of Nuzum. These are all because of this one man. His journey. Allah wants to save that one person from the fire. And yet, nobody cares about people going there. People going in groups to the fire now. And nobody wants to stop them with mercy, with love, with gentleness. And Allah makes us amongst those people that we take. Peace be upon you.
