1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,379
Mawaddah Association

3
00:00:06,379 --> 00:00:10,539
Presents: The Ten Promised Paradise

4
00:00:10,539 --> 00:00:17,170
'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him).

5
00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:22,170
Loving the Companions and the Prophet's kin is a Sunnah

6
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:27,170
By which I shall meet my Lord as long as I live.

7
00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:30,170
Loving the Companions and the Prophet's kin.

8
00:00:30,170 --> 00:00:34,350
'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived

9
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:36,350
At the Prophet's city of Medina,

10
00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:39,350
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

11
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:42,350
Leaving behind his hometown of Mecca,

12
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:44,350
In which he had been raised,

13
00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:47,350
Along with all the memories amidst which he grew up.

14
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:49,380
He reached Medina

15
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:52,380
When he was just over twenty years of age.

16
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:55,380
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) established brotherhood

17
00:00:55,380 --> 00:00:58,380
Between him and Sahl ibn Hunayf,

18
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:00,380
The Awsi Ansarite

19
00:01:00,380 --> 00:01:02,380
(May Allah be pleased with them both).

20
00:01:02,380 --> 00:01:04,379
Sahl proved to be for 'Ali

21
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:07,379
The finest brother and companion.

22
00:01:07,379 --> 00:01:10,859
However, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)

23
00:01:10,859 --> 00:01:15,859
Remained closely attached to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

24
00:01:15,859 --> 00:01:17,859
Traveling with him wherever he went,

25
00:01:17,859 --> 00:01:20,859
Halting with him wherever he settled,

26
00:01:20,859 --> 00:01:24,859
And transmitting to us a great wealth of his traditions and Sunnah.

27
00:01:24,859 --> 00:01:30,090
Indeed, 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) once related to us

28
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:34,090
That he went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

29
00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:38,090
Until they reached Harrah al-Suqya,

30
00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:42,090
Which belonged to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him).

31
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:46,090
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,

32
00:01:46,090 --> 00:01:48,090
"Bring me water for ablution."

33
00:01:48,090 --> 00:01:50,090
When he had performed ablution,

34
00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:52,090
He stood up, faced the Qiblah,

35
00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:54,090
Said the Takbir, and then supplicated:

36
00:01:54,090 --> 00:01:58,090
"O Allah, Abraham was Your servant and Your intimate friend,

37
00:01:58,090 --> 00:02:01,090
And he prayed for blessings upon the people of Mecca.

38
00:02:01,090 --> 00:02:03,090
I am Your servant and Your Messenger,

39
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:06,090
And I pray to You for the people of Medina,

40
00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:09,090
That You bless them in their Mudd and their Sa',

41
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:12,090
Twice as much as You blessed the people of Mecca—

42
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:15,090
A blessing compounded twofold."

43
00:02:15,090 --> 00:02:19,050
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also relates to us

44
00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:24,050
That he went out one day to a funeral at Baqi' al-Gharqad

45
00:02:24,050 --> 00:02:27,050
Alongside the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

46
00:02:27,050 --> 00:02:30,050
The Prophet sat down, and the Companions gathered around him.

47
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:35,050
The Prophet (peace be upon him) held a stick upon which he was leaning,

48
00:02:35,050 --> 00:02:38,050
And he bowed his head down as though deeply sorrowful,

49
00:02:38,050 --> 00:02:41,050
Scratching the ground with the tip of his stick.

50
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:43,050
Then he said:

51
00:02:43,050 --> 00:02:45,050
“And not one of you could have held Us off from him.” (69:47)

52
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:47,050
"There is no soul created

53
00:02:47,050 --> 00:02:52,050
Except that its place in Paradise or Hellfire has already been written,

54
00:02:52,050 --> 00:02:56,050
And except that it has been decreed as wretched or blessed."

55
00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:58,110
Thereupon a man asked,

56
00:02:58,110 --> 00:03:00,110
"O Messenger of Allah,

57
00:03:00,110 --> 00:03:04,110
Shall we not then rely upon what is written for us and abandon good deeds?

58
00:03:04,110 --> 00:03:07,110
For whoever among us is destined for happiness

59
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:10,110
Will inevitably proceed to the deeds of the people of happiness,

60
00:03:10,110 --> 00:03:13,110
And whoever is destined for wretchedness

61
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:16,180
Will inevitably proceed to the deeds of the people of wretchedness."

62
00:03:16,180 --> 00:03:19,180
The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied:

63
00:03:19,180 --> 00:03:23,180
"Strive and work, for everyone is facilitated toward that for which he was created.

64
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:25,180
As for the people of happiness,

65
00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:28,180
They are facilitated to perform the deeds of the people of happiness;

66
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:30,180
And as for the people of wretchedness,

67
00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:33,180
They are facilitated to perform the deeds of the people of wretchedness."

68
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:35,180
Then he recited: ◁ As for he who gives and fears Allah and believes in the best reward, We will ease him toward ease. ▷

69
00:03:35,180 --> 00:04:02,590
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continually

70
00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:05,590
Guided 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him),

71
00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:07,590
Offering him sincere advice,

72
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:10,590
Nurturing him, and bestowing great attention upon him.

73
00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:14,590
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) rejoiced greatly in this—

74
00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:15,590
And how could he not,

75
00:04:15,590 --> 00:04:17,589
When he was the one raised in the Prophet's household,

76
00:04:17,589 --> 00:04:20,589
In his home (peace be upon him) back in Mecca,

77
00:04:20,589 --> 00:04:23,589
Growing up right before his eyes,

78
00:04:23,589 --> 00:04:26,589
A relationship that continued seamlessly in Medina.

79
00:04:26,589 --> 00:04:30,589
The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade him

80
00:04:30,589 --> 00:04:33,589
From reciting the Qur'an while bowing

81
00:04:33,589 --> 00:04:35,589
Or prostrating during prayer.

82
00:04:35,589 --> 00:04:38,589
He also said to him on another occasion:

83
00:04:38,589 --> 00:04:42,589
"O 'Ali, do not follow a glance with another glance!

84
00:04:42,589 --> 00:04:44,589
For the first glance is forgiven for you,

85
00:04:44,589 --> 00:04:46,589
But the second is against you."

86
00:04:46,589 --> 00:04:50,589
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) also taught him

87
00:04:50,589 --> 00:04:51,589
Certain words,

88
00:04:51,589 --> 00:04:54,589
Instructing him, whenever distress or hardship befell him,

89
00:04:54,589 --> 00:04:56,589
To utter them.

90
00:04:56,589 --> 00:04:57,589
They are:

91
00:04:57,589 --> 00:05:01,589
"There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous;

92
00:05:01,589 --> 00:05:03,589
Glorified and Exalted is He;

93
00:05:03,589 --> 00:05:07,589
Blessed be Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne;

94
00:05:07,589 --> 00:05:11,850
Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds."

95
00:05:11,850 --> 00:05:14,850
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also taught him

96
00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:16,850
A supplication in which he said:

97
00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:20,850
"O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful means against Your unlawful,

98
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:23,850
And enrich me by Your grace above all besides You."

99
00:05:23,850 --> 00:05:24,850
He said to him:

100
00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:27,850
"Even if you had a debt as vast as a mountain,

101
00:05:27,850 --> 00:05:31,550
Allah would discharge it on your behalf."

102
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:37,550
When the people began asking the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) excessive questions

103
00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:39,550
To the point of burdening him,

104
00:05:39,550 --> 00:05:44,550
Allah Almighty willed to ease the hardship upon His Prophet (peace be upon him).

105
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:48,550
So He commanded them to offer a charity prior to holding a private consultation with him,

106
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:51,550
Revealing a verse in His Book regarding this matter.

107
00:05:51,550 --> 00:05:54,550
Thereupon, the people refrained from asking questions,

108
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:57,550
And no one acted upon that verse

109
00:05:57,550 --> 00:06:00,550
Except 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him).

110
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:05,550
This was because it was abrogated just an hour or so later.

111
00:06:05,550 --> 00:06:07,550
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

112
00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:10,550
"Indeed, in the Book of Allah there is a verse

113
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:13,550
That no one acted upon before me,

114
00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:16,550
Nor will anyone act upon after me."

115
00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:55,420
He meant the verse regarding private consultation with the Prophet (peace be upon him).

116
00:06:55,420 --> 00:06:57,420
Then the verse was abrogated,

117
00:06:57,420 --> 00:07:01,029
So no one else ever acted upon it.

118
00:07:01,029 --> 00:07:06,029
A silk robe was once presented as a gift to the Prophet (peace be upon him),

119
00:07:06,029 --> 00:07:10,029
So he sent it to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him).

120
00:07:10,029 --> 00:07:12,029
'Ali put it on,

121
00:07:12,029 --> 00:07:15,029
But the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him:

122
00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:19,029
"I did not send it to you for you to wear it,

123
00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:22,029
But rather to divide it into veils among the Fatimahs."

124
00:07:22,029 --> 00:07:25,029
By "the Fatimahs," he meant:

125
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:28,029
Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, 'Ali's wife;

126
00:07:28,029 --> 00:07:31,029
Fatimah bint Asad, 'Ali's mother;

127
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:34,029
And Fatimah bint Hamzah, his cousin's daughter

128
00:07:34,029 --> 00:07:37,029
(May Allah be pleased with them all).

129
00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:41,740
Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him),

130
00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:45,740
Had reached eighteen years of age,

131
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:48,740
And many of the Companions aspired to marry her,

132
00:07:48,740 --> 00:07:52,740
Seeking the honor of becoming related to the Prophet (peace be upon him).

133
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:57,740
Abu Bakr and then 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) proposed to her,

134
00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:01,740
But the Prophet (peace be upon him) excused himself to them

135
00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:04,769
On account of her young age relative to them.

136
00:08:04,769 --> 00:08:08,769
Then a group of the Ansar came to 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)

137
00:08:08,769 --> 00:08:11,769
And said to him, "You should seek Fatimah!

138
00:08:11,769 --> 00:08:15,769
Propose to her from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)."

139
00:08:16,769 --> 00:08:19,769
So 'Ali came to the Prophet (peace be upon him)

140
00:08:19,769 --> 00:08:21,800
And greeted him with peace.

141
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,800
The Prophet (peace be upon him) returned his greeting

142
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,800
And asked, "What brings the son of Abu Talib?"

143
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800
He replied, "O Messenger of Allah,

144
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,799
I come concerning Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)."

145
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,799
The Prophet said, "Welcome and well met!"

146
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,799
And he said nothing more to him than that.

147
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,799
So 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went out to that group of the Ansar

148
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:48,799
Who were waiting for him,

149
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:50,799
And they asked, "What happened?"

150
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:52,799
He said, "I do not know,

151
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,799
Except that he said to me, 'Welcome and well met!'"

152
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:02,799
They said, "Either one of those words from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would have been sufficient for you!

153
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:06,799
He granted you welcome and he granted you ease!"

154
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:10,799
His proposal to her took place in the first year of the Hijrah.

155
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:15,659
Later, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked 'Ali,

156
00:09:15,659 --> 00:09:20,659
"Do you have anything to offer as a bridal gift (mahr) for Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her)?"

157
00:09:20,659 --> 00:09:23,659
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied,

158
00:09:23,659 --> 00:09:25,659
"No, O Messenger of Allah."

159
00:09:25,659 --> 00:09:29,659
He said, "Then where is your Hutamiyyah armor?"

160
00:09:29,659 --> 00:09:32,659
'Ali said, "I still have it."

161
00:09:32,659 --> 00:09:35,659
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,

162
00:09:35,659 --> 00:09:37,659
"Give it to me."

163
00:09:37,659 --> 00:09:40,659
So 'Ali gave it to him as her bridal gift.

164
00:09:40,659 --> 00:09:47,659
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) equipped his daughter Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her)

165
00:09:47,659 --> 00:09:49,659
With a woolen velvet sheet,

166
00:09:49,659 --> 00:09:52,659
A waterskin, and a leather pillow

167
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:54,659
Stuffed with palm fibers.

168
00:09:54,659 --> 00:09:57,659
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

169
00:09:57,659 --> 00:10:00,659
"Fatimah was brought to me on our wedding night,

170
00:10:00,659 --> 00:10:04,659
And we had nothing beneath us but a ram's skin."

171
00:10:04,659 --> 00:10:10,460
When 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wished to consummate the marriage with Fatimah—

172
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:12,460
Which took place after the Battle of Badr—

173
00:10:12,460 --> 00:10:16,460
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to him:

174
00:10:16,460 --> 00:10:21,460
"O 'Ali, a wedding must have a feast (walimah)."

175
00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:26,460
At that time, 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) possessed nothing.

176
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:28,460
So Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said,

177
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:30,460
"I will provide a ram."

178
00:10:30,460 --> 00:10:34,460
And a group of the Ansar gathered several measures of corn for him,

179
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:36,500
So he hosted a wedding feast for the people.

180
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:40,500
Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said:

181
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:43,500
"We attended the wedding feast of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib

182
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:47,500
And Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),

183
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:51,500
And we never saw a finer wedding feast than that!

184
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:56,500
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) prepared raisins and dates for us,

185
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,039
And we ate."

186
00:10:59,039 --> 00:11:02,039
When the night of consummation arrived,

187
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:06,039
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) instructed 'Ali:

188
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:09,039
"Do not do anything until you meet me."

189
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:13,039
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) called for water,

190
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:15,039
Performed ablution with it,

191
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:19,039
Then poured it over 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said:

192
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:23,039
"O Allah, bless them both, shower Your blessings upon them,

193
00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:26,039
And bless their offspring."

194
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,039
So Allah blessed them both

195
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:31,039
And granted them al-Hasan and al-Husayn,

196
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,039
The two leaders of the youth of Paradise.

197
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:37,809
Thus 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) lived on

198
00:11:37,809 --> 00:11:39,809
In a pleasant, wholesome life

199
00:11:39,809 --> 00:11:41,809
With a contented wife—

200
00:11:41,809 --> 00:11:46,809
Were it not for the modest hardship and tight means that occasionally troubled them.

201
00:11:46,809 --> 00:11:48,809
One day,

202
00:11:48,809 --> 00:11:52,809
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) returned home exhausted

203
00:11:52,809 --> 00:11:56,809
after working as a hired laborer in the garden of a Jewish man,

204
00:11:56,809 --> 00:11:59,809
drawing water for him from the well,

205
00:11:59,809 --> 00:12:02,809
receiving a date for every bucket drawn.

206
00:12:02,809 --> 00:12:05,809
He met Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her),

207
00:12:05,809 --> 00:12:10,809
whose hands had blistered from grinding flour with the hand-mill,

208
00:12:10,809 --> 00:12:11,809
and he said to her,

209
00:12:11,809 --> 00:12:16,809
"I have heard that some captives were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

210
00:12:16,809 --> 00:12:21,809
Go to your father and ask him to give us a servant."

211
00:12:21,809 --> 00:12:24,809
So she went to the Prophet (peace be upon him),

212
00:12:24,809 --> 00:12:25,809
but did not find him,

213
00:12:25,809 --> 00:12:29,809
so she mentioned the matter to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

214
00:12:29,809 --> 00:12:33,809
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned,

215
00:12:33,809 --> 00:12:37,809
'A'ishah informed him of his daughter Fatimah's need.

216
00:12:37,809 --> 00:12:40,809
The Prophet (peace be upon him) came to them

217
00:12:40,809 --> 00:12:43,809
while they had already retired to bed.

218
00:12:43,809 --> 00:12:46,809
He sat between them and said,

219
00:12:46,809 --> 00:12:51,809
"Shall I not direct you both to something better for you than a servant?"

220
00:12:51,809 --> 00:12:54,809
They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."

221
00:12:54,809 --> 00:12:55,809
He said,

222
00:12:55,809 --> 00:12:58,809
"When you retire to bed,

223
00:12:58,809 --> 00:13:00,809
glorify Allah thirty-three times,

224
00:13:00,809 --> 00:13:03,809
praise Him thirty-three times,

225
00:13:03,809 --> 00:13:06,809
and magnify Him thirty-four times,

226
00:13:06,809 --> 00:13:09,809
for that is better for you than a servant."

227
00:13:09,809 --> 00:13:13,000
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said,

228
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
"I have never abandoned it since I heard it from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)."

229
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
He was asked,

230
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
"Not even on the night of Siffin?"

231
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
He replied,

232
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
"Not even on the night of Siffin."

233
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,450
There was no agnomen dearer to 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)

234
00:13:28,450 --> 00:13:31,450
than *Abu Turab* (Father of Dust),

235
00:13:31,450 --> 00:13:34,450
and he was overjoyed whenever he was called by it.

236
00:13:34,450 --> 00:13:36,450
The origin of this agnomen was that

237
00:13:36,450 --> 00:13:39,450
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

238
00:13:39,450 --> 00:13:43,450
came to Fatimah's house,

239
00:13:43,450 --> 00:13:46,450
but did not find 'Ali at home.

240
00:13:46,450 --> 00:13:47,450
He asked,

241
00:13:47,450 --> 00:13:49,450
"Where is your cousin?"

242
00:13:49,450 --> 00:13:50,450
She replied,

243
00:13:50,450 --> 00:13:52,450
"There was an disagreement between us,

244
00:13:52,450 --> 00:13:54,450
and he left in anger

245
00:13:54,450 --> 00:13:57,480
and did not take his mid-day rest here."

246
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said

247
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,480
to one of the Companions,

248
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,480
"Go and see where he is."

249
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,480
The man returned and said,

250
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,480
"O Messenger of Allah,

251
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,480
he is sleeping in the mosque."

252
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,480
So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went to him

253
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,480
and found him lying down;

254
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,480
his cloak had fallen off his side,

255
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,480
and dust had covered his flank.

256
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,480
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) began

257
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,480
wiping it off him, saying,

258
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,480
"Get up, O Abu Turab!

259
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,480
Get up, O Abu Turab!"

260
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,500
In the next episode,

261
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,500
we will learn about the life of

262
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,500
'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)

263
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:41,500
in battles and his heroic deeds therein,

264
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:43,500
Allah willing.

265
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:47,070
To the Chosen One,

266
00:14:47,070 --> 00:14:50,070
the best companions—

267
00:14:50,070 --> 00:14:53,070
two ranks of them

268
00:14:53,070 --> 00:14:56,200
in the Paradise of Eternity;

269
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,200
two ranks

270
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,200
whose honor He increased:

271
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,200
they are Talhah,

272
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,200
and Ibn 'Awf,

273
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,200
and Al-Zubayr,

274
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,200
along with

275
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Abu 'Ubaydah,

276
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,200
the two Sa'ds,

277
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,200
and the Caliphs.
