Praises do to Allah alone we praise him
and we seek his help whomsoever Allah
guides is the truly guided one and
whomsoever Allah leaves astray none can
show him guidance May the greatest peace
and salutations be upon Prophet Muhammad
sallallah Ali wasallam my dear students
welcome to the second level in the
prophetic Noel Hadith and today
inshallah we'll begin with a very
interesting Hadith the narrator is
Abu and it's a very profound Hadith
collected by IM bukari it was narrated
that
Abu said that the messenger of Allah
peace be upon him said the almighty
Allah said so basically this is
categorized
as a sacred Hadith the almighty Allah
said whoever shows enmity to any of my
aah my allies or close friends I shall
declare war against him my servant will
not do anything to draw close to me
better than fulfilling what I have
ordained upon him and my servant will
continue to draw closer to me through
doing extra voluntary acts of worship
until I love him and when I love him I
will be his hearing with which he hears
his sight with which he sees his hand
with which he strikes his legs with
which he walks and if he were to ask me
for something I would surely granted him
what he asked for and if he were to ask
me for Refuge I would surely Grant him
Refuge then the Almighty said in the
Hadith I do not hesitate about anything
that I do as much as I hesitate about
taking the soul of the believer he hates
death and I H and I hate to hurt him or
to upset him as we said before the
narrator is a great companion
Abu and Abu accepted Islam a couple
years before the death of prophet
Muhammad sallallah alhi wasallam uh and
it was after the Treaty of
Al yet he happened to be the narrator of
the largest number of Hadith over 5,000
Hadith he narrated from the prophet Sall
wasallam during the era ofar when he was
a the second khif he appointed him as a
governor the Amir of bahin and then
afterward during the umad he was also
the Amir of al- Medina the city of
prophet Muhammad s Ali
wasallam died on the year 59 after the
migration and Allah the almighty blessed
him with an amazing memory he was able
to preserve thousands and thousands of a
Hadith by memory simply because of the
supplication of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam invoking Allah to make
him able to memorize and not to
forget Let's uh you know shed some light
on the general meaning of the Hadith
beginning with some of the phrases such
as uh whoever shows enmity to any my aah
we will get to speak about the term in
depth uh so now we can say an Allah or a
close friend of Allah or somebody whom
Allah the almighty loves so whoever
declares enmity against somebody whom
Allah loves he takes him an enemy The
Almighty Allah himself will defend his a
lie his friend his loved one as Almighty
Allah stated in Surah Haj indeed Allah
defends the
Believers so Allah will notify him of an
imminent punishment because of annoying
opposing and showing enmity to any of
his aah the phrase of um you know uh the
religious duties that I have enjoyed
upon Him referring to Al the obligations
like the five daily prayers fasting
during Ramadan so basically what Allah
loves most is fulfilling what he has
ordained more than even the super
rogatory acts of worship more than more
than the voluntary acts of worship so
fasting one single day in Ramadan
because it is obligatory is better than
fasting voluntary fasting for the entire
year then also my servant continues to
draw close to me through offering the uh
voluntary acts of worship uh the sunah
before and after the prayers the the d
The wter Prayer fasting Mondays and
Thursdays going for an extra HJ and om
this is an open area of competition so
the Farid for every person every Muslim
average Muslims everyone can afford it
uh but the area of competition is
concerning the voluntary acts of worship
where if you do you will earn more
reward if you do more than others you
beat them to reward and if you don't
you'll not be blame worthy but you'll
miss a great deal of
reward the phrase in which the almighty
Allah says I'll be his hearing with
which he
hears that can be uh explained into two
different ways number one when the
person becomes so close to Allah loved
by Allah becomes one of a Allah then the
almighty Allah will protect his hearing
will protect his sight will protect his
hands his limbs so that he would only
listens to what pleases Almighty
Allah that applies to every uh act
whether relating to the sight or the
hands or the legs he would only utilize
his body parts and his limbs his
faculties of Senses in doing what
pleases Almighty Allah also Allah will
guide him in a way that which he uses
his faculties of Senses whether the
hearing or the sight or whatever uh in
in what is correct what is pleasing to
the almighty Allah he would not even
think about using them in indulging into
something which Allah the almighty has
forbidden because he is simply divinely
protected accordingly his faculties of
senses and his limbs are also divinely
protected the meaning of
if he were to seek refuge in me at the
time of need whenever you seek
protection of Allah Allah is there to
assure you to Grant you security to
protect you against anything that
frightens you or against your enemies
now we come to a very important phrase
which is the last statement in the
Hadith which is I do not
hesitate when you hear this at first
some people might think that hesitation
is one of Allah's traits that is not
correct whatsoever because it's only
limited to the following context he said
that I do not
hesitate about anything that I do
hesitation here is not because that
there is any form of Doubt or any sort
of Doubt whether with regards to Allah's
wisdom decision or the ability of
executing his command no it is simply
according to the context Allah the
almighty says my servant fears death I
don't want to do anything that hurts him
but death is imminent the part in this
life is inevitable so the almighty Allah
is saying that he's protecting his
servant he is providing him with Refuge
he is divinely guarding his faculties of
senses and his Limbs and when it comes
to death even though it is inevitable
but Allah subhah wa ta'ala doesn't want
to do anything
that may hurt or upset his servant to
that extent yes so it is not befitting
to say that Allah
hesitates hesitation is a human trait
for a person who's not sure who's in
doubt who decided after he made a
decision that it wasn't the right
decision but for the almighty Allah he's
the own knowing he's a will acquainted
he's the know of the Hidden and the
Unseen and the Manifest
and he's indeed able to do all things so
it is limited to that you know I don't
want to do anything that hurt my servant
by doing to him that which he
dislikes so simply there is a serious
warning in this Hadith the almighty
Allah himself is warning all his
servants when it comes to any of my aah
be careful do not offend them do not
upset them do not oppose them you
declare enmity against them I declare
enmity against you and I'm going to
protect my loved ones my
aah in this Hadith when Allah subhanahu
waala expresses about his love to one of
his servants and he
says which is the singular of
a is taken
from taken from
so we have two
terms in the
dictionary
and with a beneath the letter W the
first
letter means
governing so the subject
is
not
[Music]
but means to be friends with Allah to be
like in in other religions they call him
a saint but in our religion we call him
somebody whom Allah loves in simple
English like close friends to Allah
subhana tala Allah
says and that will take us to understand
that there are uh different types of the
that we're talking about here as Allah
referred to in Surah tunus chapter
number
10 the two consective verses 62 and 63
indeed
from there should not be any fear
concerning them nor shall they grieve
who are they those who believed in the
Oneness of Allah and they maintained
righteousness
Islam may Allah have mercy on him said
whoever is a Believer and whoever is
a mindful of Allah has become a so it's
not limited to people with big turbin
and long beers and appear to people as
Saints or righteous people no as a
matter of fact they could be hidden they
could conceal themselves and this is the
vast majority
of so every person who is a Believer and
he is mindful of Allah is
automatically
so is one of two types General and
specific the general
term and I would like to correct what is
written in the text because is different
than is when somebody becomes like we
said abuur was the W the governor of
bahin then the W of minina that's called
from he appointed him the
but where you become a friend a close
friend to Allah you become divinely
protected by Allah loved by the almighty
Allah so the general terms of when Allah
is means that he is the guardian of all
people all his creation regardless
whether they're human beings or gen kind
Angels or any other creatures and
regardless whether they are believers or
non-believers check out if you
wishah chapter number six uh
particularly in verse number 62 Allah
the almighty
says
then they all Allah servants are
returned to Allah their true ma their
true
Lord because he's a Creator he's a s
he's the one who takes the souls and
unto him we shall return so this is the
general W and then there is a specific W
which Allah refer to in this beautiful
Hadith which we invoke Allah to be among
them the specific term of is referred to
inah Bak chapter number two particularly
verse number 257 in which Allah the
almighty says
um um
indeed Allah is the guardian is the W is
the
protector of whom of the Believers he
takes them out of Darkness into light
this is this is a
specific it is also referred to
in as we mentioned uh
earlier so being a of Allah subhana tala
is definitely a very high status and it
will be earned as a result of fulfilling
all the mandates and then competing with
other Servants of Allah in the area of
doing
what the super ratory acts of worship
pertaining to the prayers fasting giving
extra charity going for extra and Haj
and so on we learn from this Hadith also
the affirmation that Allah the almighty
May declare war because he says in the
Hadith I shall declare war against whom
against those who offend my aah the
affirmation of the love of the almighty
Allah because Allah the almighty says my
servant does not draw close to me by
doing anything more belove it to
me than doing what fulfilling what I
have ordained upon him so Allah loves
and the Quran is full of verses
so we affirm the trait of love to the
almighty Allah as he ascribed it to
himself righteous Deeds be bring the
servants closer to Allah subhana wa tala
whether the mandatory or the voluntary
acts of worship but the mandatory
everyone must do the voluntary acts of
worship we should compete to do as much
as we can out of them in order to be
become loved by Allah and to earn the
title of
being Deeds vary in terms of category
into which um they fall into and in
terms of their types as we said there
is and there
is so what Allah loves most is to
fulfill what Allah has ordained upon you
if somebody is given in a charity and
he's very generous but he doesn't pay
zakat none of that is accepted you need
to begin by fulfilling what Allah have
ordained upon you and anything extra is
Plus for you the Hadith brothers and
sisters encourages us to do a great deal
of in order to earn the honor the noble
title of
becoming where upon mashallah you would
not have difficulty lowering your gaze
or abstaining from speaking talk or
backbiting or slandering because Allah
will control all your faculties of
Senses so you would only utilize them in
whatever pleases the almighty uh Allah
[Music]
um of course the promised word in the
Hadith is whenever the servant does what
the messenger of Allah has guided us to
do and strictly follow the guidance of
the Prophet without ask adding without
changing without altering without trying
to compete with the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam or otherwise it will be
categorized as an innovation and it will
be rejected finally brothers and sisters
when Allah the almighty loves a person
he guides him as how to use all his body
and when the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said and quoted Allah saying
I'll become his hearing his sight his
hands his feet these are just examples
how would the person become
inclined naturally towards doing what
pleases the almighty Allah and
discouraged um from doing anything that
may be even Mak disliked or have some
doubts because he doesn't want to upset
Allah he simply loves what Allah loves
and he hates and oppose what Allah the
almighty have forbidden we ask the
almighty Allah to make us all among
his and that requires what a lot of work
fulfilling the mandates and competing
with one another with regards to doing
extra good deeds the for each act of
worship which he has prescribe may Allah
the almighty teach us what we don't know
and guide us with his best until next
