had asked the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, permission 00:11:02.090 --> 00:11:03.090 In your wife 00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:07.090 He may grant you permission just as he granted Hilal bin Umayyah permission 00:11:07.090 --> 00:11:10.120 I said, “By God, I will not do it.” 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.120 I do not know what the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, tells me 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.120 I am a young visionary 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.120 Kaab said 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.120 After that, she stayed for ten nights 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.120 Until fifty nights were completed for us 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:27.149 When I prayed the dawn prayer on the morning of fifty nights 00:11:27.149 --> 00:11:30.149 I am on the back of one of our houses 00:11:30.149 --> 00:11:33.149 The earth has narrowed down to what it welcomed 00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:36.149 I was very upset with myself 00:11:36.149 --> 00:11:40.149 I heard a screaming voice from the top of Mount Sila 00:11:40.149 --> 00:11:42.149 He calls at the top of his voice 00:11:42.149 --> 00:11:44.149 O Ka'b bin Malik, give good news 00:11:44.149 --> 00:11:47.149 O Ka'b bin Malik, give good news 00:11:47.149 --> 00:11:49.149 The sound just touched my hearing 00:11:49.149 --> 00:11:52.149 Until I fell down prostrating to God 00:11:52.149 --> 00:11:55.149 And I knew that relief had come to me 00:11:55.149 --> 00:11:58.149 And the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:11:58.149 --> 00:12:01.149 He announced this to his friends 00:12:01.149 --> 00:12:03.149 People started giving me good tidings 00:12:03.149 --> 00:12:07.149 The first of them to come was a knight who came on his horse 00:12:07.149 --> 00:12:11.149 Missionaries also went to my companions 00:12:11.149 --> 00:12:14.149 When the one whose voice I heard came to me 00:12:14.149 --> 00:12:16.149 I took off my dress for him 00:12:16.149 --> 00:12:19.149 So I covered them with his good tidings 00:12:19.149 --> 00:12:22.149 By God, I do not have anything other than them 00:12:22.149 --> 00:12:25.149 Then I borrowed two dresses and put them on 00:12:25.149 --> 00:12:29.149 And she went to the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him 00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:32.149 So the Muslims met me, group after group 00:12:32.149 --> 00:12:35.149 They congratulate me on my repentance and say: 00:12:35.149 --> 00:12:39.149 May God’s repentance be upon you, O Ibn Malik 00:12:39.149 --> 00:12:41.149 Until I entered the mosque 00:12:41.149 --> 00:12:45.149 So, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:12:45.149 --> 00:12:47.149 Sitting surrounded by people 00:12:47.149 --> 00:12:51.149 His face was illuminated as if it were a piece of the moon 00:12:51.149 --> 00:12:53.149 When I greeted him 00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:56.149 He said, his face shining with pleasure 00:12:56.149 --> 00:12:58.149 Good news, Kaab 00:12:58.149 --> 00:13:01.149 Good tidings, Kaab, for a good day ahead of you 00:13:01.149 --> 00:13:03.149 Since your mother gave birth to you 00:13:03.149 --> 00:13:05.149 I said: I am safe with you, O Messenger of God 00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:08.149 Security in the sight of God Almighty 00:13:08.149 --> 00:13:11.149 He said: No, but from God 00:13:11.149 --> 00:13:13.149 I said, O Messenger of God 00:13:13.149 --> 00:13:17.149 It is part of my repentance that I give up all of my wealth 00:13:17.149 --> 00:13:23.149 And to make it a charity for God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:13:23.149 --> 00:13:26.149 The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said 00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:29.149 Hold on to some of your money, heel 00:13:29.149 --> 00:13:31.149 It is better for you 00:13:31.149 --> 00:13:34.250 I said: I hold the arrow of the one in Khaybar 00:13:34.250 --> 00:13:36.250 And I give in charity everything else 00:13:36.250 --> 00:13:39.250 Then I said, O Messenger of God 00:13:39.250 --> 00:13:42.250 God saved us with honesty 00:13:42.250 --> 00:13:44.250 And from my repentance 00:13:44.250 --> 00:13:47.250 I will only speak the truth as long as I remain 00:13:47.250 --> 00:13:51.340 May God be pleased with Kaab Ibn Malik Al-Ansari 00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:55.340 Poet of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:13:55.340 --> 00:13:59.340 He defended Islam with his words and his statement 00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:03.340 And God sent down a Qur’an about him and his companions 00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:07.340 He still recites the deep end of the night and the end of the day 00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:13.340 It will continue to be recited until God inherits the earth and those on it 00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:20.679 Ka'b Ibn Malik, the poet of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.679 And one of the honest supporters 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.840 Those whom God has accepted 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.840 And He revealed to them the Qur’an 00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:38.610 Oh, my poetry is better 00:14:38.610 --> 00:14:40.610 In their praise, are they everlasting?
