One of the Prophet's ﷺ closest companions did something that looked like a complete betrayal. Hatib ibn Abi Balta’ah (ra) had been loyal for twenty years, through every hardship. Then he got caught doing the one thing no one expected. When he was brought in to answer for it, everyone assumed that was the end of him. But the Prophet's ﷺ response is not what you'd expect for what he did. Discover the story behind Hatib's alleged betrayal, how the Prophet ﷺ handled it, and three lessons we can learn from it.

## Transcript

[0:05] SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to episode 180, I think.
[0:10] SPEAKER_00: We're getting there, inshaAllah ta'ala.
[0:12] SPEAKER_00: Uh and I keep being asked, like, when are you gonna stop?
[0:15] SPEAKER_00: We'll see what happens.
[0:16] SPEAKER_00: Maybe inshaAllah ta'a this will continue until you know another 10 years or so.
[0:21] SPEAKER_00: As many biographies as we can get in, as many themes as we can touch, bidnillah.
[0:25] SPEAKER_00: May Allah allow us to continue to benefit from this companionship of the companions of the Prophet and raise us with them and with our beloved one sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
[0:34] SPEAKER_00: Allah Amin.
[0:36] SPEAKER_00: There is a theme now that we're coming into, though, that I am very excited about because it's very different from all of the other themes.
[0:45] SPEAKER_00: Sometimes when you're studying the Sahaba of the Prophet, you feel like they're inaccessible.
[0:53] SPEAKER_00: They're too good, they're too perfect, they don't make mistakes, they just seem to be so far out of our league.
[1:01] SPEAKER_00: We can never reach the companions of the Prophet.
[1:05] SPEAKER_00: And that can feel demoralizing, right?
[1:08] SPEAKER_00: But this next group of people that we're going to cover fit a very unique category.
[1:15] SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to tell you exactly who they are.
[1:18] SPEAKER_00: They're not a tulakah, those who fought the Prophet for a very, very long time and came to Islam at the very end.
[1:26] SPEAKER_00: Like when you talk about Abu Sufyan and Suhail ibn Amr and those companions, at the very, very, very end, may Allah be pleased with them, that embraced Islam after they were forgiven by the Prophet.
[1:36] SPEAKER_00: Or even those that had at one time claimed prophethood, like Tulayha, very unique person, right?
[1:42] SPEAKER_00: Who repented after claiming to be a Nabi after the Nabi.
[1:47] SPEAKER_00: They're not that group of people.
[1:49] SPEAKER_00: But at the same time, they have another distinction to them.
[1:55] SPEAKER_00: They're early Muslims that are from the most praised of the companions of the Prophet who made serious mistakes after living a life with the Prophet and being praised by the Prophet for that life with him.
[2:13] SPEAKER_00: So I want you to think about this.
[2:15] SPEAKER_00: There are people that were with the Prophet through and through, through his most difficult moments, and then they made catastrophic mistakes by which we as a community would probably cancel them.
[2:26] SPEAKER_00: We'd be like, that's the end of you, because of how bad those mistakes were.
[2:31] SPEAKER_00: But the Prophet made a path forward for them of redemption.
[2:36] SPEAKER_00: And so it's actually the imperfection that is at the heart of all of the stories that we're going to cover, Bidn Allah.
[2:43] SPEAKER_00: And the first two that we're going to cover actually have the worst type of sin that you could commit in not just the personal sense, but the political sense with the Prophet, which is to actually do something which reaches the level of treason, qiyana, betraying the Prophet, like actually compromising the Prophet politically.
[3:04] SPEAKER_00: So it's not sahaba that embraced Islam and that fell into a weak moment and committed adultery or drank alcohol.
[3:12] SPEAKER_00: It's that their mistakes actually almost undermined the very mission of the Prophet.
[3:19] SPEAKER_00: And there are very specific lessons to learn in terms of tawbah, in terms of repentance from these mistakes.
[3:27] SPEAKER_00: Okay?
[3:28] SPEAKER_00: So this is the category of the condemned that weren't actually condemned.
[3:33] SPEAKER_00: But that you would think, and I want you to think in the practical sense, in the modern sense, how we would treat people that fall into this category.
[3:42] SPEAKER_00: And the very first person that we're going to talk about, he showed up in the story of Maria al-Kaptya, radiallahu tal anha.
[3:49] SPEAKER_00: We talked about the Mawali, the freed slaves of the Prophet, and we finished that category.
[3:55] SPEAKER_00: There's one more person, I'll talk about him in the theme that will follow this one, and it'll be Allaw insha'Allah ta'al.
[4:00] SPEAKER_00: But he is the man that the Prophet sent as an ambassador to Egypt.
[4:06] SPEAKER_00: He is the one that stood in the court of Al-Muqhawkis and gave da'wah to one of the most powerful men in the world.
[4:12] SPEAKER_00: He is the one who actually brought Maria back to the Prophet and did da'wah to Maria and to Siren on the way to Medina.
[4:21] SPEAKER_00: And he is Ha'atlib ibn Abi Bal Ta'a, radiallahu ta'ala anhu.
[4:26] SPEAKER_00: Ha'atlib ibn Abi Bal Ta'ah, who unanimously Muslims know for a mistake.
[4:32] SPEAKER_00: He's actually famous for his mistake.
[4:35] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[4:36] SPEAKER_00: And there's something deeply profound about being famous for that mistake.
[4:40] SPEAKER_00: But I want to actually talk about him, inshaAllah ta'ala, in the deeper sense, and then we contextualize the mistake that he made with who he actually was.
[4:49] SPEAKER_00: I want you to imagine if you were a companion who embraced Islam in Mecca from a Sabi kun al-awaloon min al-Muhajirin.
[4:57] SPEAKER_00: So those that would be praised in that verse, the first Muslims.
[5:00] SPEAKER_00: You went through badr with the Prophet.
[5:03] SPEAKER_00: You were chosen by the Prophet to be an ambassador.
[5:06] SPEAKER_00: You have this huge resume, but you're only famous in Islamic history for your sin.
[5:13] SPEAKER_00: That is Hatub.
[5:15] SPEAKER_00: If you find the chapter of Hatlib in any book of Sirah, often the only paragraph about him will be his sin, Radiallahu Ta'ala.
[5:23] SPEAKER_00: But let's talk about him, insha'Allah Ta'ala.
[5:25] SPEAKER_00: And there's actually a lot to unpack with Hatib.
[5:29] SPEAKER_00: His name is Hautib Ibn Abi Belta'ah ibn Arbi ibn Jazilah ibn Lachm.
[5:36] SPEAKER_00: Um he is from the tribe of Lachim in Yemen.
[5:41] SPEAKER_00: So he's actually Yemeni, comes from Yemen, settles in Mecca.
[5:45] SPEAKER_00: He's Kahtani, he's not Qurishi, which is actually important here because he doesn't have the history in Mecca.
[5:52] SPEAKER_00: And he's very unique in the sense that he's not a slave that embraced Islam in Mecca.
[5:57] SPEAKER_00: He wasn't the slave of anyone else.
[5:59] SPEAKER_00: There's a narration that suggests he might have been a client, a mawlah, a halif in some way, uh, allied because he doesn't have status.
[6:06] SPEAKER_00: He needs some sort of protective structure.
[6:09] SPEAKER_00: But he's a foreigner that lives amongst Quraysh in Mecca, and he doesn't fit the typical Muhajir personality, the early Muhajirun, those that embraced Islam in Mecca.
[6:20] SPEAKER_00: Most of the Muhajareen fit one of two profiles.
[6:24] SPEAKER_00: They're either slaves and they belong to the downtrodden and the oppressed, and Islam had massive appeal with that class for good reason, or they belong to the Qurashis, those that were friends of the Prophet, and the da'awa spreading through the window of Abu Bakr al-Sudiqiallahu ta'a anhu, for example, right?
[6:41] SPEAKER_00: And that that class that's coming into Islam, he's very different.
[6:46] SPEAKER_00: He's a foreigner amongst Quraysh who embraced Islam uh very early on.
[6:51] SPEAKER_00: He has no tribal roots in Mecca, and because of that, he doesn't have the same protection structures that other people in Mecca do.
[7:01] SPEAKER_00: Some of the scholars would even argue, I mean, scholars from a historical perspective, that uh those who were enslaved still their masters had some level of protection over their fate, that there was some sort of system, even in Jahaliyyah, that they were entrenched in to where they couldn't be plucked off of the map off of the map.
[7:24] SPEAKER_00: That doesn't mean that they're less likely to be persecuted.
[7:28] SPEAKER_00: In fact, they'll be beaten more severely, they'll be punished more severely, but the one who quote unquote owns that slave will be protective over his property.
[7:36] SPEAKER_00: A person who's a complete foreigner is like Abi Rush, is like the wayfarer that the Prophet talks about.
[7:42] SPEAKER_00: No one's really got my back.
[7:44] SPEAKER_00: I'm here as a stranger, I'm making my money, I'm living amongst the people.
[7:49] SPEAKER_00: I know that I can't slip with the wrong person.
[7:51] SPEAKER_00: Sounds like a lot of Muslim countries today, right?
[7:53] SPEAKER_00: I can't slip with the wrong person because the system is always going to be unfair to me.
[7:58] SPEAKER_00: Because I don't have any roots.
[7:59] SPEAKER_00: I have no protection, I have no structure that's going to protect me in this regard.
[8:05] SPEAKER_00: And this is going to be key to the story of Hatab ibn Abi Balti'ah.
[8:11] SPEAKER_00: His name is uh Abu Abdullah.
[8:13] SPEAKER_00: Some of the narrations mention him as Abu Muhammad.
[8:16] SPEAKER_00: Uh he embraced Islam before his tribe from Yemen, which would embrace Islam later.
[8:23] SPEAKER_00: His tribe was one of those tribes that the Prophet renamed.
[8:27] SPEAKER_00: Prophet used to like good names.
[8:30] SPEAKER_00: The tribe that he comes from is Banu Khalifa.
[8:32] SPEAKER_00: And a muhalif is someone that holds back or who's disagreeable.
[8:36] SPEAKER_00: The Prophet actually changed the name of the whole tribe to Banu Rashida, the tribe that is rightly guided.
[8:42] SPEAKER_00: So the Messenger of Allah elevated the identity of the entire tribe, not just Haltub, but Haltub preceded his people to Islam, which is already a sign of his sincerity.
[8:53] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[8:54] SPEAKER_00: Early Muslim, no protection, is going to go through all of the tests and trials of a muhajr without any protection that a muhajr uh might have.
[9:05] SPEAKER_00: He had a very specific physical description.
[9:09] SPEAKER_00: Hatab Radiallahu Ta'ala Anhu was a man who was well built.
[9:13] SPEAKER_00: Hassan al-Jism.
[9:15] SPEAKER_00: And he was Khafif al-Lahya, he was very handsome, he had a very light beard, Radiallahu ta'ala anhu.
[9:21] SPEAKER_00: Uh Ajna'a, he had a slight curve in his posture.
[9:24] SPEAKER_00: Anytime they get very specific with the description of a person, that means he struck you when you saw him.
[9:34] SPEAKER_00: But uh Shahtnul al-Assaber, he had these really big hands, thick fingers.
[9:40] SPEAKER_00: And he was elite in the craft of archery.
[9:46] SPEAKER_00: So he was an archer, he was a horseman, he was someone that used to be able to work with his hands.
[9:52] SPEAKER_00: Like when you saw his hands, the really distinct hands, you know, when you say like basketball hands or something like that, he had very distinct hands.
[9:58] SPEAKER_00: He worked well with his hands, all the Allah ta'a anhu.
[10:01] SPEAKER_00: So he was an elite horseman, he was an elite archer uh in Jahaliya.
[10:05] SPEAKER_00: He was elite with the trades of the hands, he could work with his hands.
[10:09] SPEAKER_00: On top of that, he was literate and he was considered one of the poets of Quraish.
[10:14] SPEAKER_00: So he got around with his diplomacy, with his skills, but he's someone that could work his way in a society, and that explains how he was able to sort of carve a place out for himself in Mecca, despite not having any structure that would protect him.
[10:29] SPEAKER_00: In Jahiliya, his most beautiful quality, ironically, because it contradicts the one story that any Muslim who knows the name Hatud knows about him, is his wafa.
[10:42] SPEAKER_00: He's incredibly loyal.
[10:44] SPEAKER_00: Loyal to his tribe, loyal to his family, loyal to the Prophet, al-Wafa.
[10:51] SPEAKER_00: He was trustworthy in business.
[10:53] SPEAKER_00: People liked to hire him.
[10:55] SPEAKER_00: He was someone that would not cheat a person with one dirham.
[10:58] SPEAKER_00: This is the description.
[10:59] SPEAKER_00: When the Prophet says, that people are like precious stones.
[11:05] SPEAKER_00: The best of you in the days of ignorance are the best of you in Islam, ida faqdihu, if they have uh understanding how to, Radiallahu ta'ala anu, he fits all these qualities.
[11:14] SPEAKER_00: So you can imagine.
[11:15] SPEAKER_00: Imagine walking into Mecca, he's a foreigner, very distinct physical appearance, works well with his hands, eloquent, diplomatic, but very, very loyal, very, very trustworthy.
[11:24] SPEAKER_00: Radiallahu ta'ala.
[11:26] SPEAKER_00: So he embraces Islam and he appears to be amongst those that kept his Islam quiet in Mecca and was not found out, which would explain why he wasn't heavily persecuted in Mecca.
[11:40] SPEAKER_00: There's no documentation of his initial persecution.
[11:43] SPEAKER_00: So people perhaps didn't suspect him and they left him alone.
[11:47] SPEAKER_00: But when the Prophet made hijrah to Medina, he makes hijra as well.
[11:53] SPEAKER_00: And he migrates with his own freed uh slave, Sa'ad Molah Haltub.
[11:58] SPEAKER_00: So he has a freed man that migrates with him and is also a Muslim.
[12:02] SPEAKER_00: They come into Al-Madin al-Munawara, they stay with a man by the name of Al-Mundir ibn uh Muhammad.
[12:11] SPEAKER_00: And when I was looking into the history of Al-Mundir ibn Muhammad, I was looking at his uh his lineage, and he's from the family of Uheiha.
[12:20] SPEAKER_00: Uheyha is one of the leaders of the aus.
[12:23] SPEAKER_00: He's one of the heads of the tribes of the Ansar.
[12:26] SPEAKER_00: Uheiha.
[12:27] SPEAKER_00: Dies before Islam.
[12:29] SPEAKER_00: But he's someone that generally has a lot of power and a lot of protection because of who his family is when he comes to Medina.
[12:35] SPEAKER_00: So Hatab comes into a house where he's going to be protected in Al-Madina Munawarra, in the status of Al-Muacha.
[12:42] SPEAKER_00: And then eventually the Prophet does mu'acha.
[12:45] SPEAKER_00: He pairs him off with a companion by the name of Rachilah ibn Khalid, Radiallahu Ta'ala Anhu, Wafiriwayah, Uwaim ibn Sa'idah, uh Radiallahu Anu, the very famous companion uh from Mazjid al-Kuba.
[12:57] SPEAKER_00: We did a story, a biography of Uwaim ibn Sa'ida.
[13:02] SPEAKER_00: Now, let's get into his life here.
[13:05] SPEAKER_00: You got the profile.
[13:07] SPEAKER_00: Shahid Badrun wa uhudan, wa al Khandak, Wal Masha'hid Kullaha.
[13:12] SPEAKER_00: He attended every single mashad, every single battle with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
[13:17] SPEAKER_00: Rare, right?
[13:18] SPEAKER_00: Beautiful quality in and of itself.
[13:20] SPEAKER_00: So when Allah talks about being pleased with the people of Badr, he's there.
[13:23] SPEAKER_00: When Allah talks about Bay'at al-Radwan, the people that took the pledge with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam under the tree, he's there.
[13:30] SPEAKER_00: He managed to be in every single campaign.
[13:34] SPEAKER_00: However, there are no stories about him in any of the battles.
[13:38] SPEAKER_00: Can anybody tell me why?
[13:41] SPEAKER_00: Why do you think there would be no stories about him in battle?
[13:45] SPEAKER_00: Well, what is it?
[13:46] SPEAKER_00: He was canceled.
[13:47] SPEAKER_00: No, he wasn't canceled yet.
[13:48] SPEAKER_00: He gets canceled later on.
[13:50] SPEAKER_00: Are you saying that because he would be canceled, people wouldn't want to tell the stories about him?
[13:54] SPEAKER_00: I didn't think about that.
[13:56] SPEAKER_00: But he was an archer.
[13:58] SPEAKER_00: You know how um in certain sports there are certain positions where if you don't hear the player's name, it's good.
[14:05] SPEAKER_00: That's the archer.
[14:07] SPEAKER_00: The archer keeps the battlefield honest from afar.
[14:12] SPEAKER_00: He doesn't go into the battlefield with his sword or wave his sword.
[14:16] SPEAKER_00: He doesn't have any of these epic tales, but they are absolutely crucial to the battle.
[14:22] SPEAKER_00: They play defense in many ways.
[14:26] SPEAKER_00: And Ha'atlib was one of the elite Rumah of the Prophet, the most elite archers of the Prophet.
[14:35] SPEAKER_00: And these archers actually determine the pace of battles.
[14:38] SPEAKER_00: And that's why the Prophet mentions it's a sunnah for Muslims to learn archery.
[14:42] SPEAKER_00: And you could think about the equivalence of archery in in uh battle craft or warcraft or in tech today, but this idea of Muslims having that mindset of that strategic role that the archers play.
[14:56] SPEAKER_00: In badr, the archers always allowed the Muslims to punch above their weight.
[15:00] SPEAKER_00: Of course, it was the barakah, the blessing from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, but in terms of numbers, archers played a significant role, and they often determine the outcome of the, or were part of determining the outcome of a battle.
[15:13] SPEAKER_00: Muslims use them in every single battle.
[15:16] SPEAKER_00: They would be positioned.
[15:17] SPEAKER_00: The Prophet has a very consistent strategy.
[15:19] SPEAKER_00: Get to the place first, set up the archers in a strategic place to where they can keep the battlefield honest so that when you have numbers on that side that overwhelm you, the archers are able to slow the pace of that army and take people out.
[15:36] SPEAKER_00: So there are archers, and subhanAllah, you get into the science of this in terms of military strategy.
[15:42] SPEAKER_00: There are archers that look to the key figures on the side of the Muslims, and they specifically protect them.
[15:49] SPEAKER_00: So the Rumad, for example, that are watching the Qa'ad, they're watching the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, they're watching the heads of the army to make sure that they're hitting anyone that comes around them from afar.
[16:00] SPEAKER_00: You understand?
[16:01] SPEAKER_00: So haltub is considered from the elite of the archers of the Prophet.
[16:08] SPEAKER_00: Now we know that in Islamic history, there is one setting, one mashad where archers actually are particularly frowned upon.
[16:17] SPEAKER_00: Which one?
[16:18] SPEAKER_00: Uhud.
[16:20] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[16:20] SPEAKER_00: In Uhud, the entire story of the failure and strategy is that you had 50 archers on the mountain of Rumah under Abdullah ibn Jubair, 40 of them came down prematurely.
[16:35] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[16:36] SPEAKER_00: And of the beauty of the Quran and the beauty of the seerah of the Prophet is that we do not have the name of a single one of the 40 archers that made that mistake.
[16:50] SPEAKER_00: Look at the sitr, the covering that Allah gave them in Islamic history, and the covering that the Prophet gave them in the community to where it never comes up again.
[16:59] SPEAKER_00: Like, weren't you one of the 40 that fled when a conflict happens or when someone shows weakness?
[17:04] SPEAKER_00: Weren't you one of the 40 that made the mistake?
[17:07] SPEAKER_00: Why?
[17:07] SPEAKER_00: Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Allah mentions that those people who turned away when the two armies met, right?
[17:24] SPEAKER_00: They were caught in a moment by the shaitan with something that they did.
[17:28] SPEAKER_00: Allah forgave them.
[17:30] SPEAKER_00: Allah completely forgave them and pardoned them because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is forgiving and forbearing.
[17:36] SPEAKER_00: Meaning what?
[17:37] SPEAKER_00: Was Hatib one of the 40, or was he one of the 10?
[17:40] SPEAKER_00: We will never know.
[17:41] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[17:42] SPEAKER_00: We will never know.
[17:43] SPEAKER_00: But Allah forgave all of those companions who in a moment of weakness made that mistake to where those 40 thought that the battle was over, they came down, leaving the Muslims uh vulnerable in this regard.
[17:56] SPEAKER_00: Okay?
[17:56] SPEAKER_00: There is one narration about him in Uhud with a weak Isnad, but I'll share it.
[18:01] SPEAKER_00: Adzahabi mentions it, and then he quotes the faults in its Isnad, because it does match the personality of Haltub, which is that the Prophet, he came to Haltib, or rather, Haltub came to the Prophet after the battle of Uhud, and he saw the Prophet's teeth were knocked out, and the blood was running down the face of the Prophet, and Ali radiallahu ta'ala was holding a bowl of water in his hand, and they were cleaning up the face of the Messenger of Allah.
[18:33] SPEAKER_00: So this is sort of in the immediate aftermath of Uhud.
[18:36] SPEAKER_00: That the Messenger of Allah was struck and that the blood was flowing.
[18:41] SPEAKER_00: Okay, stay with me because this is important.
[18:44] SPEAKER_00: Hatab sees the Messenger of Allah and he says, Who did this?
[18:51] SPEAKER_00: Who did this?
[18:52] SPEAKER_00: Now, the one who did this, subhanAllah, when you even say it, it sounds awkward.
[18:57] SPEAKER_00: It's like you have to review the name.
[18:59] SPEAKER_00: The one who caused the greatest damage to the face of the Prophet that Hatab was at least seeing was Utbah ibn Abi Waqas, the brother of Sa'adab bin Abi Waqas, Al-Mubashar bil Jannah who is guaranteed paradise, who's one of the greatest commanders of Islamic history, who opened Persia, who governed Iraq, one of the most loyal companions of the Prophet, his brother, at some point, Abdullah ibn Qamiyah was hitting the face of the Prophet and dragging hitting his helmet into his face.
[19:29] SPEAKER_00: At some point, Utba bin Abi Waqqas took a stone, he was on the other side, and he smashed the face of the Prophet with that stone.
[19:37] SPEAKER_00: And asked who did that, and they said it was Utba ibn Abi Wakas.
[19:42] SPEAKER_00: And in this narration, Hatib rushed, and he basically apprehended Utba bin Abi Wakas on the outskirts before they had fleed and killed Utba bin Abi Wakas and came back to the Prophet carrying the spoils, and the Prophet says, May Allah be pleased with you, wahataby be pleased with you.
[20:03] SPEAKER_00: It fits the personality.
[20:04] SPEAKER_00: There is a weakness in the Isnad and the chain, it fits the personality, but it gives you the idea of a man that was a loyal confidant to the Prophet and that hated seeing the Messenger of Allah in that way and wanted to do something in this particular way.
[20:20] SPEAKER_00: Hatab radiallahu ta'ala anhu, that loyal lover of the Prophet, also is the one who the Prophet sent his proposal to Umm Salam a radiallahu ta'ala anha through.
[20:30] SPEAKER_00: So in the hadith of Sahih Muslim, when Umm Salam radiallahu ta'ala anha says she was wondering what she will do after Abu Salam radiallahu ta'ala anhu passed away, the Prophet sent to me, Hatab ibn Abi Balta Yaqtubuni Lahu, in proposing on his behalf.
[20:52] SPEAKER_00: So how to it wasn't the Prophet making the proposal directly.
[20:56] SPEAKER_00: Some of the ulama say that the earlier part of the narration, because I was reading the Sharh of this hadith, the earlier part of the narration, there's direct conversation between the Prophet and Umm Salama.
[21:07] SPEAKER_00: When Abu Salama died, the Prophet came to Umm Salama and said to her to say, Inna lillahi wenna alayhiraj, say to Allah we belong and to Allah we return.
[21:22] SPEAKER_00: O Allah compensate me in regards to my tragedy and give me something better than that which was taken away from me.
[21:28] SPEAKER_00: And Umm Salama wondered, who's better than Abu Salama?
[21:32] SPEAKER_00: So the beginning of the hadith is a direct conversation between the Prophet and Umm Salama.
[21:37] SPEAKER_00: So why would he send Haltib?
[21:39] SPEAKER_00: Can anybody tell me?
[21:40] SPEAKER_00: Why would he send Haltib to propose on his behalf?
[21:45] SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's okay.
[21:47] SPEAKER_00: Why doesn't he just go do it himself, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam?
[22:01] SPEAKER_00: So that's one way of looking at it.
[22:04] SPEAKER_00: That because the Prophet told her to make this dua, one way that the scholars say that perhaps the Prophet did not want to embarrass Um Salama, should she have rejected the proposal as a widow who loved her husband?
[22:18] SPEAKER_00: And she turned down Abu Bakr and Umar, by the way, because she thought Abu Bakr and Umar are not even better than Umm Abu Salama.
[22:26] SPEAKER_00: That perhaps the Prophet did not want to cause her ihraj, to cause her embarrassment, should she choose.
[22:31] SPEAKER_00: Like, it's not like she's a sinner.
[22:34] SPEAKER_00: The choice is for you.
[22:34] SPEAKER_00: The Prophet was offering this, and Umm Salama is an older woman, widowed with children.
[22:40] SPEAKER_00: Like, this is something that the Prophet is doing as a mercy.
[22:43] SPEAKER_00: And of course, Um Salama is who she is.
[22:46] SPEAKER_00: Incredible woman, incredible woman in Islamic history.
[22:49] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[22:49] SPEAKER_00: Some of the scholars say perhaps the Prophet did not want to cause her ihraj, did not want to cause her uh discomfort.
[22:56] SPEAKER_00: So that's why he sent Hatib to Um Salama to make the proposal on his behalf.
[23:01] SPEAKER_00: So Um Salama says, I responded to um you know uh to Hatib, and I said, and this is actually very important, she said, In the Libintan, Wanagayus.
[23:17] SPEAKER_00: I have a daughter and I'm a very jealous woman.
[23:20] SPEAKER_00: So like almost saying the Hattib, and maybe she would have been too shy to have that conversation with the Prophet directly.
[23:26] SPEAKER_00: Meaning what?
[23:27] SPEAKER_00: Like, I have a daughter and I can't be another wife.
[23:30] SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm I'm worried that I'm gonna be too jealous of your other wives, Ya Rasulullah.
[23:35] SPEAKER_00: So Hatab went back to the Prophet, told the Prophet what Um Salama said, and the Prophet sent Hatab back and said, say to her, Ammab natuha, fanadirullaha, and yurniha anha.
[23:49] SPEAKER_00: And as for her daughter, may Allah Azzaal empower her daughter, because she's speaking about this in terms of uh needing her.
[23:55] SPEAKER_00: And one in one narration, the Prophet even says, like, your daughter is my daughter, right?
[24:00] SPEAKER_00: Like she's my daughter, I'll take care of her, do not worry about that.
[24:03] SPEAKER_00: And the Prophet says, and as for your girah, adhirullaha and yadhababil rira, I'll make dua to Allah to remove the girah from you, to remove that jealousy that you have.
[24:14] SPEAKER_00: So she accepted the proposal through Hatab to the Prophet.
[24:18] SPEAKER_00: So Hatab played that role, radiallahu anhu, like carrying out a proposal on behalf of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
[24:26] SPEAKER_00: And then we have the diplomat role, going as an ambassador with his intelligence, with his eloquence, with his loyalty to the Messenger of Allah, carrying the letter to Al-Mukawkis, the leader of Egypt.
[24:39] SPEAKER_00: And when he entered into the courtyard of Al-Muqauqis, by the way, to give him the message of Al-Islam, to give him the message of the Prophet.
[24:48] SPEAKER_00: I purposely saved this conversation from the lecture of Maria for this time.
[24:54] SPEAKER_00: Al-Mukawkis, who was obviously moved by the letter of the Prophet and felt like something is to this, that this might be him, Ali His Salat, he said to Haltib, he's challenging him.
[25:16] SPEAKER_00: He says, if the Prophet is sent by Allah and he has this power from Allah, why didn't he make dua against his people in Mecca when they kicked him out?
[25:25] SPEAKER_00: Why didn't he just end the affair?
[25:26] SPEAKER_00: He could have just made dua and Allah would have given him victory over his people.
[25:32] SPEAKER_00: So Hatab, he responded brilliantly.
[25:39] SPEAKER_00: He said, Aren't you the same people, Christians?
[25:41] SPEAKER_00: You believe that Jesus is the Messenger of Allah?
[25:44] SPEAKER_00: He said, Yeah.
[25:45] SPEAKER_00: He said, did not make dua against his people, to the point that Allah raised Isa to him, to him, and spared him from the crucifixion when his people plotted against him and tried to kill him.
[25:59] SPEAKER_00: So how are you going to say the Prophet is weak because he didn't make dua against his people for Allah to crush them?
[26:05] SPEAKER_00: And the one you call, not just the Messenger of Allah, but the Son of Allah, right?
[26:10] SPEAKER_00: That he did not make dua against his people and he was pursued by his people and according to your narrative, crucified, right?
[26:16] SPEAKER_00: According to what we know from Allah's spared from crucifixion, but the point still stands.
[26:21] SPEAKER_00: So Al-Mukawqis was taken aback by what he said.
[26:27] SPEAKER_00: And then Haltub said to him, speaking to Hatah, he's speaking to Al-Mukawqis on a throne, which shows you courage, by the way.
[26:40] SPEAKER_00: This takes courage here.
[26:41] SPEAKER_00: Again, things that aren't going to match up to the famous story of a Haltub, right?
[26:45] SPEAKER_00: He said, You know, in this land of Egypt, there used to be a man who, like you, was in this position, but he used to claim that he is the exalted Lord.
[26:58] SPEAKER_00: But Allah Azza took him and humiliated him in this life and the next.
[27:13] SPEAKER_00: So beautiful.
[27:14] SPEAKER_00: He said, Listen, Allah took revenge on him.
[27:16] SPEAKER_00: So let him be an example for you before Allah makes an example of you.
[27:22] SPEAKER_00: Mukalkis was taken aback.
[27:24] SPEAKER_00: So he said to him, he was impressed.
[27:34] SPEAKER_00: He said, You're a wise man.
[27:36] SPEAKER_00: That's clearly come from a wise man.
[27:38] SPEAKER_00: Like you're showing literacy in the people of the book and what they have.
[27:43] SPEAKER_00: And he said to him, But I have no intention of accepting your religion when I feel completely sufficed by my religion.
[27:51] SPEAKER_00: Christianity is good enough for me.
[27:53] SPEAKER_00: He said to him, In Naraqah Dinan, you have a religion that should not be abandoned except for something better than it, and that is Islam.
[28:03] SPEAKER_00: And then he went on to say, Well, as for the bisharah of Musa and Isa, the glad tidings of Isa and Musa, it is the bisharah, it is the glad tidings of Muhammad, and Allah has gathered the truth and made Islam sufficient and complete for us.
[28:22] SPEAKER_00: And when we call you to the Quran, we are calling you to affirm the truth that you know from the Torah and the Anjir.
[28:28] SPEAKER_00: So al-Muqawchis says, like, I examined the matter, I respect this man that sent you, and that's when he sent the gifts, right?
[28:39] SPEAKER_00: With Hata ibn Abi Balta.
[28:41] SPEAKER_00: And of course, there's an element of fear too, that he has a feeling that the Prophet is who he is, and he knows that that power is going to grow.
[28:48] SPEAKER_00: And so let me send the best of skins, the best of clothes, and the best of bonds, women as gifts to the Prophet.
[28:56] SPEAKER_00: And that's when he sent Maria and uh Sidreen with the Prophet.
[29:00] SPEAKER_00: And of course, on the way, Hatub did di'awa to Maria and Siden, and they both embraced Islam.
[29:07] SPEAKER_00: Okay?
[29:08] SPEAKER_00: Now, all of this, now we come to the sin, the fall of Hatab.
[29:15] SPEAKER_00: That tends to contradict everything that we just said about him.
[29:18] SPEAKER_00: Hatib radiallahu ta'ala, who's a man of loyalty, a man of courage, a man of truth, a man who witnessed the most difficult moments with the Prophet, so what happened?
[29:31] SPEAKER_00: Remember the initial part of the story that Haltib did not have a tribe to protect him in Mecca.
[29:39] SPEAKER_00: And sometimes the same quality that's a good quality can actually strike you and be made into something negative for a moment.
[29:47] SPEAKER_00: What does that mean?
[29:49] SPEAKER_00: Haltib felt guilty about his family that was in Mecca, that as the Prophet was preparing now to march on Mecca, Fatih Mecca, that his family would be the first to go, that he left behind in Mecca because they wouldn't have anyone to protect them.
[30:12] SPEAKER_00: Vulnerability, weakness.
[30:15] SPEAKER_00: So, what is the story of Hattif?
[30:17] SPEAKER_00: It shows up in the uh chapter actually in Al-Bukhari because there's an ayah of Qur'an that now when you read it, inshaAllah, you will come to the story.
[30:24] SPEAKER_00: Bab La ta tahdu aduwi wa'du waqum awliya.
[30:28] SPEAKER_00: When Allah says, Do not take my enemy and your enemy as protective friends.
[30:32] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[30:33] SPEAKER_00: And it is the hadith of Ali radiallahu ta'ala anhu who says, Ba'atani Rasulullah, ana was zubeir wa al-mikdad.
[30:42] SPEAKER_00: The Prophet called me a Zubair and al-Makdat, three very serious horsemen from the companions, trusted ones from the Prophet's companions.
[30:55] SPEAKER_00: And he said to us, In Taliq, go until you reach the area of Chach on the way from Al-Madina to Mecca.
[31:06] SPEAKER_00: Go until you reach this garden of Hach.
[31:16] SPEAKER_00: You will find a woman there, and she has with her a letter.
[31:20] SPEAKER_00: Take that letter from her.
[31:22] SPEAKER_00: So Ali radiallahu ta'ala anhu says that myself as Zubair al-Nakad, we went quickly.
[31:29] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[31:29] SPEAKER_00: We struck the horses, went quickly because we understood the urgency of what the Prophet was saying.
[31:34] SPEAKER_00: He didn't tell us what was in the letter, he gave us the description of the woman, he gave us the description of the location.
[31:38] SPEAKER_00: He said, Go and get the letter that is with her.
[31:42] SPEAKER_00: So he said, We reached Rawda Tu Khach and we saw a woman with the exact description of what the Prophet said.
[31:50] SPEAKER_00: So I said to her, Adi radiallahu anhu said, I said to her, give us the letter.
[31:55] SPEAKER_00: She said, What letter?
[31:57] SPEAKER_00: Adil radiallahu anhu said, Listen, al-kitab, owlanul qyanna thiab.
[32:04] SPEAKER_00: And he has to do this.
[32:06] SPEAKER_00: He says, either you bring the letter out or we're gonna have to search you.
[32:10] SPEAKER_00: The thiab will go until we find the letter.
[32:12] SPEAKER_00: We don't want to go that route.
[32:13] SPEAKER_00: Just give us the letter.
[32:15] SPEAKER_00: She was not Muslim, by the way.
[32:17] SPEAKER_00: The woman was not Muslim.
[32:18] SPEAKER_00: That's an important part of the Sharh of this hadith.
[32:20] SPEAKER_00: Not that it means that like the Sahaba were going to abuse a woman or like strip search a woman like unjustly.
[32:26] SPEAKER_00: They know that she has the letter because they believe the Prophet and they know what the Prophet said, and Adi radiallahu anhu is saying, we don't want to go about it that way.
[32:34] SPEAKER_00: So give us the letter.
[32:35] SPEAKER_00: Ali radiallahu anhu said she unbraided her hair.
[32:39] SPEAKER_00: Her hair was in braids.
[32:40] SPEAKER_00: She unbraided her hair and she took out a rolled-up letter from her hair and she handed it to us.
[32:49] SPEAKER_00: And the biggest surprise ever, I open up the letter, and it's a letter written from Hautib ibn Abi Balta to the leaders of Mecca, informing them of the plans of the Prophet.
[33:05] SPEAKER_00: Whoa.
[33:07] SPEAKER_00: They're shocked.
[33:09] SPEAKER_00: Imagine knowing Hatib for all these years, and this is principal treason here.
[33:16] SPEAKER_00: And this is going to basically, I mean, like in a state of law here, this is execution.
[33:23] SPEAKER_00: This is a type of treason that gets you killed.
[33:26] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[33:27] SPEAKER_00: You're unpotentially undermining Fatih Makkah after all these years.
[33:33] SPEAKER_00: What a way to fall.
[33:36] SPEAKER_00: So we came back to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and I mean you can imagine the shock.
[33:39] SPEAKER_00: They didn't know what they were gonna find with that letter.
[33:43] SPEAKER_00: They handed it to the Prophet.
[33:46] SPEAKER_00: The Prophet calls Hatib.
[33:50] SPEAKER_00: This is worse than your parents calling you to the room.
[33:54] SPEAKER_00: This is worse than someone catching you with something.
[33:57] SPEAKER_00: He puts the letter in front of Hatub.
[33:58] SPEAKER_00: He says, Mahadaya Haltib.
[34:01] SPEAKER_00: What is this, oh Hatib?
[34:04] SPEAKER_00: I mean, I feel like I want to shrink on behalf of Hatib.
[34:09] SPEAKER_00: Reading the hadith.
[34:11] SPEAKER_00: Standing in front of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and you got caught in treason.
[34:16] SPEAKER_00: 20 years.
[34:17] SPEAKER_00: You are my loyal confidant.
[34:19] SPEAKER_00: You went through Badr, you went through Uhud, you went through Khandak, I sent you to Egypt.
[34:24] SPEAKER_00: All of these things you proposed on my behalf.
[34:26] SPEAKER_00: I trusted you.
[34:30] SPEAKER_00: Prophet says it to him and he doesn't say anything else.
[34:37] SPEAKER_00: Said, Oh Messenger of Allah, don't rush to judgment on me.
[34:45] SPEAKER_00: Said, listen, Ya Rasulullah, hear me out.
[34:48] SPEAKER_00: I lived amongst Quraysh, but I was never considered amongst them.
[34:53] SPEAKER_00: I lived amongst them, but I was never actually one of them.
[34:56] SPEAKER_00: I dress like them, I look like them, I talk like them, I learned how to function in that society, but I never became quraashi.
[35:03] SPEAKER_00: I never got treated like a quraashi.
[35:13] SPEAKER_00: Your companions have people in Mecca that will protect their loved ones and protect their wealth if things go a certain way.
[35:23] SPEAKER_00: He said, But I have absolutely nothing to protect karabati, my family, if Kufar of Quraysh want to make an example out of them.
[35:37] SPEAKER_00: So he said, Wallahi ya Rasulullah.
[35:43] SPEAKER_00: Oh Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I did not do what I did out of disbelief or out of apostasy from my religion.
[35:52] SPEAKER_00: This wasn't nifaq, this wasn't hypocrisy, this wasn't because I hate Islam.
[35:57] SPEAKER_00: This wasn't because I I don't believe in Islam.
[36:00] SPEAKER_00: But it was only because I was worried about my relatives.
[36:04] SPEAKER_00: And subhanAllah, there's something very important here in the subtext, too.
[36:09] SPEAKER_00: That Ya Rasulullah, I knew you were going to be given victory by Allah anyway.
[36:14] SPEAKER_00: Like it's it's actually very interesting because you can see how shaitan can play a person to make a mistake here.
[36:21] SPEAKER_00: I knew that Allah was going to give you victory and that this letter actually was not going to compromise you.
[36:25] SPEAKER_00: But at the end of the day, perhaps it would hold off my relatives, hold them off from my family once they became informed of your plans.
[36:32] SPEAKER_00: Because Allah was going to give you ilhar ala ka'k.
[36:35] SPEAKER_00: Allah was going to give you victory over your people, but maybe just along the way before that happens, because if they find out and then they go and they try to, you know, cut down our relatives, my people would be the first one to be killed.
[36:48] SPEAKER_00: So I knew Allah was going to give you victory anyway.
[36:50] SPEAKER_00: This wasn't actually going to ruin your plans.
[37:01] SPEAKER_00: And it's actually very painful because I think about this from the perspective of Hatib.
[37:05] SPEAKER_00: Uma radiallahu anhu does not say, Let me kill Hatib.
[37:14] SPEAKER_00: Let me finish off this hypocrite.
[37:17] SPEAKER_00: Because what he did is the actions of the Munafiqin.
[37:20] SPEAKER_00: That's what the Munafiqeen did.
[37:22] SPEAKER_00: They tried to comp they they pretended to be Muslim and they compromised the Prophet behind the scenes.
[37:29] SPEAKER_00: And the Prophet You know what he says?
[37:35] SPEAKER_00: He said, He said, Howtab is actually telling the truth.
[37:40] SPEAKER_00: Howtub is telling the truth.
[37:42] SPEAKER_00: And he said, Ya Umar.
[37:48] SPEAKER_00: He witnessed Badr.
[37:57] SPEAKER_00: Don't you know that Allah looked to the people of Badr and He said to the people of Badr on that day, do what you will, and I have forgiven you for everything.
[38:07] SPEAKER_00: I have forgiven you for everything.
[38:09] SPEAKER_00: Shahid Badr Ya Omar shows you the position of Ahl Badr that stood with the Prophet in the hardest of times, and why Jabrir says they're the best people.
[38:22] SPEAKER_00: The Malayika, the angels say the best angels are the ones that fought on the day of Badr.
[38:27] SPEAKER_00: The best people are the people of Badr.
[38:32] SPEAKER_00: So it may be that Allah forgave the people of Badr for everything that they would come to do.
[38:39] SPEAKER_00: And that is when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed.
[38:46] SPEAKER_00: Oh you who believe, do not take my close ones, or I'm sorry, my enemies and your enemies as close ones, as protective friends.
[38:54] SPEAKER_00: And the Prophet forgave Hatab.
[38:57] SPEAKER_00: Did he boycott him for two months?
[38:59] SPEAKER_00: Did he strike him?
[39:01] SPEAKER_00: Did he flog him?
[39:02] SPEAKER_00: Did he call him to the front of the masjid and say, look at this munafiq, or you have to wear your clothes inside out for the next two weeks?
[39:12] SPEAKER_00: No.
[39:12] SPEAKER_00: And you know what makes this actually so significant?
[39:16] SPEAKER_00: One of the narrators of this narration, the ones who preserve this narration, is Abdul Rahman ibn Hatib ibn Abi Balta'ah, the son of Haltib, who was living in Mecca and was one of those that Haltib wanted to protect.
[39:30] SPEAKER_00: He narrates the story about his father here, and he became a student of Umar, a narrator of hadith and a narrator from Umar Anwani stiqah in hadith.
[39:40] SPEAKER_00: He's considered of the trustworthy in hadith narration.
[39:42] SPEAKER_00: I mean, he narrates the mistake his father made.
[39:48] SPEAKER_00: Allah spared him.
[39:51] SPEAKER_00: So much to talk about here.
[39:53] SPEAKER_00: Number one the Prophet did not judge him by his lowest moment.
[40:00] SPEAKER_00: He judged him by his entire life.
[40:04] SPEAKER_00: And that is one of the ways in which we are so unfair to each other.
[40:11] SPEAKER_00: We judge people by their lowest moments, we judge people by their lowest points.
[40:16] SPEAKER_00: We don't look at the entirety of what they've done, and that is not how Allah deals with us, and that's not how we should deal with each other.
[40:24] SPEAKER_00: Very good people can make very bad mistakes, and they should not be frozen by and defined in that mistake.
[40:32] SPEAKER_00: That's number one.
[40:34] SPEAKER_00: Number two, do you have a badr moment?
[40:40] SPEAKER_00: This is actually really interesting.
[40:42] SPEAKER_00: Is there something that you would have done in your life?
[40:44] SPEAKER_00: Because the ulama talk about this, that is the equivalent of your bedr moment, that you did something so good that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, you have Jannah, you're forgiven for everything that you're gonna do and everything that you've done.
[40:57] SPEAKER_00: It's number two.
[40:59] SPEAKER_00: Do you have a badr moment?
[41:01] SPEAKER_00: If you're saying yes, then please tell me how you found out.
[41:04] SPEAKER_00: Because I want to talk to that angel that's telling you that you had your badr moment.
[41:09] SPEAKER_00: None of us will know.
[41:11] SPEAKER_00: That's why Abdullah ibn Umar Anhuma used to say, if I knew that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accepted from me two rakas, one sajda, mout, I would wish for death at that point because in the maya taqabullah min al-muttaqeen, Allah accepts from the people of Taqwa that I just need Allah to accept that from me.
[41:30] SPEAKER_00: Do I have a better moment?
[41:31] SPEAKER_00: You see, subhanAllah, there's something deeply profound about this that you live your whole life with this Christian and Allah.
[41:37] SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna do this layatul qadr, I'm gonna do this Ramadan, I'm gonna do this Umr, I'm gonna do this Hajj, I'm gonna pray this prayer, I'm gonna make this istighfar, the seeking forgiveness, but you don't know when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala deposits it and says to the angels, Ya mala'iqati, this person right here is bound for Jannah.
[41:53] SPEAKER_00: They're gonna still have some of the falls that are destined for a person.
[41:58] SPEAKER_00: They're not gonna be perfect human beings, but at the same time, this person is destined for Jannah.
[42:05] SPEAKER_00: Allah.
[42:06] SPEAKER_00: Allah Muja'na minum.
[42:07] SPEAKER_00: May Allah make us amongst those people.
[42:09] SPEAKER_00: The third lesson from this is that Umar is from Ahl al-Badr, Hatab is from Ahl-Badr, Ali is from Ahl al Badr, Zubair is from Ahl-Badr, Magdad is from Ahl-Badr.
[42:19] SPEAKER_00: Did any of these people then hear that and go, if Hatab got away with what he got away with?
[42:25] SPEAKER_00: And we're people of Badr too, then why are we doing all this?
[42:30] SPEAKER_00: Retire.
[42:32] SPEAKER_00: Does Umar radiallahu anhu sound like a man who ever retired?
[42:36] SPEAKER_00: Sounded like a man who feared hellfire and feared Nitap until the very last moment of his life.
[42:41] SPEAKER_00: Ali radiallahu ta'a annual zubayya radiallah.
[42:44] SPEAKER_00: Did they ever retire?
[42:45] SPEAKER_00: They never retired.
[42:46] SPEAKER_00: They are amongst those that witnessed the scene, and none of them did what was the equivalent of what Hatib did in this regard.
[42:53] SPEAKER_00: Number four, I bring it to the modern day.
[42:55] SPEAKER_00: What Hatub did was not a personal sin.
[43:00] SPEAKER_00: It was a political, it was something that actually hurt the community as well.
[43:04] SPEAKER_00: I will say this, and I know that some people will not like it.
[43:08] SPEAKER_00: That there are Muslims that perhaps have taken positions and done things that actually harmed the Muslim community in the past.
[43:16] SPEAKER_00: They too have a door to Tawbah, and they should be welcomed through that door of Tawbah and not be frozen in their past mistakes if that's the case.
[43:23] SPEAKER_00: Perhaps not understanding how what they were doing was harmful, perhaps whatever it may be, none of them would have done what is the equivalent of what Hata radiallahu ta'a annual did in this moment.
[43:34] SPEAKER_00: But the Prophet forgave him.
[43:35] SPEAKER_00: Now you could make the argument, well, none of them were from Badriyun.
[43:38] SPEAKER_00: Fair point.
[43:39] SPEAKER_00: Very fair point.
[43:41] SPEAKER_00: But why are we studying this hadith?
[43:43] SPEAKER_00: Why are we studying this fall?
[43:44] SPEAKER_00: To say the Prophet did not define him by that fall.
[43:49] SPEAKER_00: By the way, there's another hadith from Abu Zubair from Jabir, that there was a servant that came to the Prophet complaining about Hattub.
[43:58] SPEAKER_00: And while he was complaining about Hatib, it was a very normal complaint, like people throwing words and when they're mad.
[44:04] SPEAKER_00: He said, Ya Rasulullah, he said, O Messenger of Allah, Hatb is going to go to hell.
[44:12] SPEAKER_00: The Prophet said, Kadapt.
[44:16] SPEAKER_00: You lied.
[44:21] SPEAKER_00: He will not enter hellfire because he witnessed Badr and he witnessed Hudaybiya.
[44:27] SPEAKER_00: So the Prophet still defends Hatb even after the letter incidents.
[44:32] SPEAKER_00: And he still took Haltib with him to Mecca, and he still resumed with Hatab radiallahu ta'ala anhu in that particular place and in that noble place with the community.
[44:42] SPEAKER_00: And Hatabhiallahu Ta'ala anhu maintained a position amongst the companions of the Prophet, not known by his mistake, but known by his legacy of serving the Messenger of Allah.
[44:54] SPEAKER_00: This is important.
[44:55] SPEAKER_00: This is one of those things.
[44:56] SPEAKER_00: It's like I always tell people, you can read the story of Yusuf with his brothers and say, MashaAllah, Yusuf forgave all of his brothers.
[45:01] SPEAKER_00: And you would not forgive your siblings, your loved ones, for something that is a fraction of what the brothers of Yusuf did to him.
[45:10] SPEAKER_00: You could admire it, but can you actually implement it?
