1 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:03,819 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2 00:00:03,819 --> 00:00:07,259 The life of the ancestor 3 00:00:07,259 --> 00:00:09,259 Between words and action 4 00:00:09,259 --> 00:00:13,519 By Sheikh Ahmed bin Nasser Al-Tair 5 00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:18,109 Definition of predecessor 6 00:00:18,109 --> 00:00:24,300 The Salaf are the leaders of this nation, including the Companions, the Successors, and the Imams of guidance 7 00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,300 In the three favorite centuries 8 00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:33,399 This term is used to refer to those who follow their guidance and follow their path 9 00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:36,399 Even if he came many centuries after them 10 00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:40,399 He is called Salafist in reference to them 11 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:45,530 This name has been used in the three preferred centuries 12 00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:48,530 But it was not famous and widespread 13 00:00:48,530 --> 00:00:50,530 Contrary to those who denied this 14 00:00:50,530 --> 00:00:55,299 He claimed that he did not exist until after them 15 00:00:55,299 --> 00:00:58,299 The word “ancestor” has two considerations 16 00:00:58,299 --> 00:01:01,299 Considering time and considering belief 17 00:01:01,299 --> 00:01:04,299 As for the predecessors, considering time 18 00:01:04,299 --> 00:01:07,299 They are just the three favorite centuries 19 00:01:07,299 --> 00:01:12,299 To whom the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, testified of goodness 20 00:01:12,299 --> 00:01:16,299 As in the hadith of Imran bin Hussein, may God be pleased with him 21 00:01:16,299 --> 00:01:18,299 He said 22 00:01:18,299 --> 00:01:21,299 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 23 00:01:21,299 --> 00:01:23,299 The best of my nation is my generation 24 00:01:23,299 --> 00:01:26,299 Then those who follow them 25 00:01:26,299 --> 00:01:29,299 Then those who follow them 26 00:01:29,299 --> 00:01:32,489 The predecessors are the people of the three centuries 27 00:01:32,489 --> 00:01:35,709 And after them, successor 28 00:01:35,709 --> 00:01:38,709 As for the predecessors, the second consideration 29 00:01:38,709 --> 00:01:41,709 Everyone who follows their path is included in them 30 00:01:41,709 --> 00:01:44,709 In belief and work until the Hour 31 00:01:44,709 --> 00:01:47,870 And their names too 32 00:01:47,870 --> 00:01:50,870 People of influence and people of hadith 33 00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:53,870 And other great names 34 00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:56,870 Which indicates the integrity of this great approach 35 00:02:00,209 --> 00:02:03,209 Characteristics and advantages of predecessors over others 36 00:02:03,209 --> 00:02:06,530 Our righteous predecessors, may God Almighty have mercy on them 37 00:02:06,530 --> 00:02:09,530 They have virtues by which they are distinguished 38 00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:12,530 And the advantages that distinguish them 39 00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:15,659 It is one of their greatest advantages and virtues 40 00:02:15,659 --> 00:02:18,659 Which set them apart from others 41 00:02:18,659 --> 00:02:20,659 Firstly 42 00:02:20,659 --> 00:02:23,659 They are one of the favorite centuries 43 00:02:23,659 --> 00:02:26,659 Which the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said about them 44 00:02:26,659 --> 00:02:29,659 The best of my nation is my generation 45 00:02:29,659 --> 00:02:32,659 Then those who follow them 46 00:02:32,659 --> 00:02:35,780 Then those who follow them 47 00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:38,780 Charity is present in their actions and morals 48 00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:41,780 Their sincerity and belief 49 00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:44,780 Neither could those who came after them 50 00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:47,939 To reach their amount 51 00:02:47,939 --> 00:02:50,939 Secondly, their closeness to the Prophet’s era 52 00:02:50,939 --> 00:02:54,099 And divine revelation 53 00:02:54,099 --> 00:02:57,099 That the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 54 00:02:57,099 --> 00:03:00,099 The people and the nation recommended these favorite centuries 55 00:03:00,099 --> 00:03:03,099 Al-Tirmidhi narrated in his Sunan 56 00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:06,099 And Al-Hakim in his Mustadrak 57 00:03:06,099 --> 00:03:09,099 On the authority of Omar, may God be pleased with him, he said 58 00:03:09,099 --> 00:03:12,099 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 59 00:03:12,099 --> 00:03:15,099 I recommend you to my friends 60 00:03:15,099 --> 00:03:18,099 Then those who follow them 61 00:03:18,099 --> 00:03:21,139 Then those who follow them 62 00:03:22,139 --> 00:03:25,139 I recommend you to my friends 63 00:03:25,139 --> 00:03:28,139 Then those who follow them 64 00:03:28,139 --> 00:03:31,139 Then those who follow them 65 00:03:31,139 --> 00:03:34,139 That is, the followers of the followers 66 00:03:34,139 --> 00:03:37,360 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 67 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,360 He only recommended these favored centuries to us 68 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,360 Let's stick to their approach 69 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,360 We follow in their footsteps 70 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,360 We imitate their influences 71 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,780 Fourth 72 00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:55,780 They inherited knowledge, law and religion 73 00:03:55,780 --> 00:03:58,780 Closely, the Companions, may God be pleased with them 74 00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:01,780 They took it from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 75 00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,780 Directly without any intermediary 76 00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:07,780 The followers took it from the honorable companions 77 00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:10,780 Juicy, juicy fruit 78 00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:13,780 The followers took it from the followers 79 00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:16,779 Fresh and fresh 80 00:04:16,779 --> 00:04:19,779 They took them by the misguidance of the innovators 81 00:04:19,779 --> 00:04:22,779 The nonsense of Sufis 82 00:04:22,779 --> 00:04:25,779 Rather, their hearts were pure 83 00:04:25,779 --> 00:04:28,810 Their goals are lofty 84 00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:31,810 And their enthusiasm is high 85 00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:34,810 These are the characteristics of this unique generation 86 00:04:34,810 --> 00:04:37,810 These are the advantages of these blessed centuries 87 00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:40,810 It made their generation and their society 88 00:04:40,810 --> 00:04:43,810 The greatest, best and purest society on earth 89 00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:46,810 They work according to the law of their Lord 90 00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:49,810 They are friendly and loving among themselves 91 00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:52,810 They are safe from heresies and whims 92 00:04:52,810 --> 00:04:57,250 A life of peace 93 00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:00,629 Between words and action
