 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدوى لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وشدوى أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد سل الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد عندما يتحدث عن الكتاب من وصايا السلف للشباب المساعدة التي يجب أن يقوم بها أنهم قمت بها إلى المساعدة ومساعدة لقد قمت بها ثلاثة المساعدات التي قمت بها وإن شاء الله تعالى today سوف نأخذ الوصية الرابعة المساعدة ومساعدة أكثر ثلاثة المساعدة هذه المساعدة سوف نأخذ أبو نوعيم الأصبهاني في الكتاب حلية الأولياء وطبقات الأصفية في المساعدة إبنو الزرقاء who said خرج السوفيان يعني السوفيان السوفيان الثوريو ونحن على أبابه نحن على أبابه فقال سوفيان الثوريو قال يا ماشر الشباب أو يونكستز تعجلوا بركة هذا العلم هيستن ومن الماعدة من هذه المساعدة فإنكم لا تدرون لعلكم لا تبلغون ما تؤملون منه ليوفد بعضكم بعضا تعجلوا هيستن بركة هذا العلم يعني هيستن للمساعدة التي لديك today today you're a youngster you're a youth and benefit from it benefit from it by attaining beneficial knowledge because when the person grows old when he ages لا يكون عنده من النشاط the person no longer has enthusiasm وذا كرة والقدرة he no longer has memory nor does he have the ability to endure a lot of things and his memorization becomes weak it's no longer as it used to be when he was young when he was a youth additional to that is the responsibilities which he is carrying now which he never used to have when he was young the responsibilities the duties and the chores that he has to come with whereas when the person is young and he's a youth ليس عنده شيء من ذلك the person doesn't have any of that مرحلة الشباب is a time that will go over fast in your life so that's why سفيان الثوري رحمه الله he said تعجلوا بركة هذا العلم benefit from this opportunity that you have by attaining beneficial knowledge because فإنكم لا تدرون لعلكم لا تبلغون ما تؤملون منه because while you're young you may dream and wish to attain this knowledge or to memorize this or to read this book but then you don't attain it so it's upon you to strive hard and to work hard and to seek aid and support from الله سبحانه وتعالى الله سبحانه وتعالى he said in the Quran والذين جاهدوا فينا لنهدينهم سبولنا وإن الله لما عل المحسينين those who strive in our cause الله says لنهدينهم we will guide them and we will guide them because the noon here is noon with توكيد الله says we will guide them سبولنا to our path وإن الله لما عل المحسينين الله is with those who come with excellency so what is upon you is to strive hard if you strive hard you will attain what you're wishing for and what you want and the last part of his advice is ليفيد بعضكم بعضا بنفت one another ميت one another in attaining beneficial knowledge from one another العلم بين الطلبة knowledge is between the students of knowledge and the revision of knowledge between the students of knowledge so this advice سفيانة ثوريو is directed at the youth and it really shows us the concern that the salaf of this Ummah the pious predecessors they had towards the youth يا مع شر الشباب youngsters تعدلوا بركة هذا العلم hasten to attain this knowledge فإنكم you don't know لا تدرون العلكم لا تبلغون ما تأملون منه you may not attain what you are looking for and what you're wishing for ليفيد بعضكم بعضا benefit one another and benefit each other by seeing your brother lacking something say يا أخي I can help you with this and there is something that you have can you help me with it الوصية الخامسة the fifth advice من وصايا السلف للشبابي which is the advice of the salaf towards the youngster the youth ما ورد عن الحسن البصري is what حسن البصري you said كثيرا ما كان يقول حسن البصري used to say a lot يا ما عشرة الشباب youngsters youth عليكم بالآخرة upon you is the day of judgment and the hereafter فطربوها try to attain it try to look for the hereafter فكثيرا رأينا منطلب الآخرة فأدركها ع الدنيا we have seen a lot who tried to attain the hereafter but Allah gave them a good portion of this dunya with it وما رأينا but we have never seen أحد أنطلب الدنيا we have never seen a person who ran after this dunya who ran after attaining this dunya فأدرك الآخرة but he reached the hereafter with the dunya that he was trying to attain so this is a very important advice from this noble imam الامام حسن البصري ورحمه الله and he directed it at the youth he directed it at the youth telling them to make their aspiration and their drive directed towards the hereafter and to strive to attain it and to busy your time with what will get you closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى because if you do that if you run after the hereafter if you make the hereafter your aspiration and if you run after what will please Allah سبحانه وتعالى الله will give you and Allah will favor you by allowing you to attain a portion of this dunya but what it doesn't mean his speech حسن البصري whose speech does not mean that the person leaves off coming with what will establish his worldly needs providing for his family placing a roof over his wife and his kids and placing clothing over himself حسن البصري is not saying in any way four more shape that the person should remain على على الآخرين that he should run after and that he should run after and that he should run after and that he should run after على الآخرين that he should run after and in need of the people rather it is not harmful that a Muslim that he works he gets himself a provision he attains the dunya but what is it that he is talking about then what he is talking about is is that the person that the dunya is your complete aspiration and that the dunya is your objective and your aim and your purpose and that the dunya is your ultimate knowledge that's all you know and it used to be from the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم و لا تجع للدنيا أكبرهم ولا مبلغ علمنا أو الله don't make this dunya our ultimate aspiration ولا مبلغ علمنا ولا مبلغ علمنا and don't make it our ultimate knowledge all that we know is the dunya ألمام الترميذيو narrated this in his Sunan and شيخ محمد ناصر الدين الألباني رحمه الله he graded this حديث بيحسن in his كتاب الكلم الطيب also the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said إنك انتدر أغنياء خير من انتظرهم عالة يتكففون الناس for you to leave your offspring your lineage rich not in need of the people is better than to leave them عالة يتكففون الناس to leave them behind poor begging the people so حسن البصري your statement is not talking about that but what he is talking about is making the dunya your aspiration the dunya your ultimate goal and purpose in which you live for the person can work he can make money even if that money becomes a lot that's not what حسن البصري is talking about anyone who makes the akhirة my beloved brothers and sisters همه الأخرة where he makes the hereafter his ultimate goal جامع الله وعليه الله will gather for him الله سبحانه وتعالى will gather his affairs for him واتتوا الدنيا وهي راغبة the dunya will come running after him but the person who places and makes the dunya his ultimate goal جعل الله فقره بين عينه الله سبحانه وتعالى will place poverty in front of his eyes ولم يأتيه من الدنيا and he will not attain from this dunya إلا ما كتبه الله عز وجلله and he will only attain from this dunya that which الله سبحانه وتعالى has written that which الله سبحانه وتعالى has written for him الوصية السادسة the sixth advice من وصايا السلف the seventh I'm sorry the sixth advice the sixth advice that the pious predecessors gave towards the youth and that is ما جاء عقبة ابن أبي حكيم that عقبة ابن أبي حكيم قاله said كنا نجلس إلى عون ابن عبد الله we sat towards عون ابن عبد الله فيقول لنا he would say to us معشر الشباب or youngsters قد رأينا الشباب يموتون we have seen the youngsters dying فما ينتظر بالحصادي إلى بلغ المنجل the harvest is not awaited if it reaches the minjel the minjel is the harvest in machine that's used ويا مسلحيته and he would wipe over his bid what he's trying to say here is that if the person ages دانت منية to who your death is close that every single moment of your life you're more closer to death don't be fooled and be tricked by those who are Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given them a long life and don't be deceived by them and so when you see them you become short in many matters and you delay in so many things assuming and thinking that you are going to live for a very long time as the poet said يعمر واحد يعمر sorry يعمر واحد فيغر قومة وينسى من يموت من الشباب وينسى من يموت من الشباب the poet he said one person الله gives him a long span of a life one person is given a long long life فيغر و and many people are deceived by that person's age وينسى and what they forget is من يموت من الشباب من يموت من الشباب the youngsters who are dying that one or two people who live a very long life is what the people get deceived by but they forget the thousands who are dying young don't be somebody who is like that when he advised the noble companion عبد الله بن عمر about the affairs of this dunya and the prophet said to him كن في دنيا كأنك غريب أو عابر سبيل be in this world كن في دنيا كأنك غريب be in this world as though you're a stranger أو عابر سبيل or a person who's crossing a road عبد الله بن عمر from that day onwards when he said إذا أمسيت فلا تنتظر الصباح if evening comes don't wait for the morning وإذا أصبحت and if the morning comes فلا تنتظر المساء don't wait for the evening because what he realizes is that death comes more to the youngsters than it comes to those who are aged the people who die the majority of them are the youngsters in the youth ولذلك ابن الجوز رحمه الله in his great book صيد الخاطر page 240 he said it is obligatory يجب على ما لا يدري متى يبغته الموت أن يكون مستعدة ولا يغتر بالشباب والصحة فإن أقل من يموت الأشياخ وأكثر من يموت الشبان ولهذا يندر من يكبر ابن الجوز he said it is obligatory أن لا يعرف when death is going to come to him suddenly for him to be prepared it is obligatory on that person to be ready since you don't know when death is going to come to you suddenly and not to be deceived by the young age that you're in and the health that you have فإن أقل من يموت الأشياخ because the ones who really die the rare ones who die are the elders وأكثر من يموت the majority of the people who die are who الشبان the youngsters and the youth ولهذا يندر من يكبر and so because of that it is even rare those who age you rarely find a person aging sit down and ponder today and look at your family member how many people have actually passed the age of 40 you will realize and you will come to realize those who are aged أقل they are little in number and the majority of the people they died في مرحلة الشباب أو الطفولة they died at the age of between 40 and birth the majority of the people die in that age it is rare those who pass it is very little those who pass the age of 40 look at your own family members الوصية السابعة the seventh advice من وصية السلف from the advices of the self للشباب towards the youth ما جا عن قابوص ابنو أبي ضبيان it is narrated from قابوص ابنو أبي الضبيان and this you can find in كتاب العلم by أبو خيثمة زهرف بن حرب and it's the 80th statement he said صلينا يوман خلفه one day we prayed behind أبي الضبيان ونحن شباب كلنا من الحي إلا المؤذن نحن جميع الشباب من المدينة، من المدينة، من المدينة إلا المؤذن فإنه شيخ was an elderly individual فلما سلم التفت إلينا when he finished a prayer, he looked at us ثم جعل يسأل الشباب he then started to ask the youth the youngsters من أنت who are you فلما سألهم when he finished asking them قاله then said to them and he said this in a way of what على وجه الحث والتشجيع والتنشيط لهم he said it from the angle of encouraging them placing enthusiasm in them he said to them إنه لم يبعث نبي إلا وهو شابون no messenger was ever sent out to a people except he was a youngster except that he was a youth ولم يؤت العلم خير منه وهو شابون ولم يؤت العلم and knowledge was not given خير منه وهو شابون except that he was a youth so what he is trying to tell them is and he is trying to bring to their attention is ارتنام خيرية الشباب وبركاته to benefit from this particular period of time in which they are in مرحلة الشباب the stage of youth يبين ينكستا and it's an opportunity, a great opportunity to benefit from and to take provision and to benefit from the power and the strength and the energy which you have directing it towards something positive that you can harvest these efforts when you grow old I'm going to conclude بإذن الله الكريم on the 8th advice that the Salaf of this Ummah gave towards the youth and that is ما رواه الإمام أحمد في كتابه it is that which الإمام أحمد narrated in his كتاب الورع عن عبد الوهاب الثقافي عبد الوهاب الثقافي he said خرج علينا علينا أيوب السختياني أيوب السختياني you came out on us فقال he said يا معشر الشباب oh youngsters احترفوا احترفوا means get a provision get a job لا تحتاجون ان تأتوا أبواب هؤلاء you are not in need of coming to the doors of these people so in this book الإمام أحمد رحمه الله authored it and he brought this powerful statement of who أيوب السختياني which is that which he said to the youth and the youngsters احترفوا have a have a provision a profession have a profession in which you gain and you attain wealth so you can provide for yourself and so that you can provide for your family and your children so that you as a youngster are not a what عالة على الآخرين that you are not one who begs and asks others and takes from them because if you learn a profession now that you're young and you attain that when you grow old you're not going to need to go to so and so and ask him for money or wealth and you won't need to go to so and so and ask him for something rather you have your own knowledge whenever you need it you will result to that and you will reap its fruits and the effort that you put in when you were young because when you grow old you can't then embark on teaching yourself a profession your brain no longer works as it used to work when you were young so what you can see from this is سلاف وهادل أم مدى باية they were sincere advisors towards the youth they even advised them in making sure that they attained their portion of this dunya and so this is something that we say to the youngsters in the youth as well احتريفوا have a profession the more you study the deed you should realize the more that you should be self sufficient that you don't need the people and that you don't come knocking on the people's doors that you have your own your own knowledge if you look at the علماء if you look at the companions even if you look at the prophets they had their jobs every single prophet had a profession if you look at the علماء of our time الشيخ محمد ناصر الدين الالباني he used to fix watches he used to fix watches and when he made his daily income he would leave the shop and he would close it and he would go to and he would sit there and read and study إن شاء الله يتعالى I'm going to conclude there بإذن الله الكريم anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaytan and that Allah and his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوبه إليه
