Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said 00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:31.120 I told Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, at the time of Hudaybiyyah 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.119 Oh Abu Bakr 00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:36.420 Isn't this a true prophet of God? 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:38.509 He said yes 00:00:38.509 --> 00:00:43.509 I said, Are we not on the truth and our enemy is on the wrong? 00:00:43.509 --> 00:00:45.609 He said yes 00:00:45.609 --> 00:00:49.609 I said, why do we give worldly regard to our religion then? 00:00:49.609 --> 00:00:52.799 He said, man 00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.799 It belongs to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.799 He does not disobey his Lord 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:01.799 He is his supporter 00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:04.099 So hold on to his stitches 00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:07.959 By God, he is right 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.060 Shaybah bin Othman, may God be pleased with him, said 00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:16.060 He sat next to Omar, may God be pleased with him, and said 00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:19.060 I was determined not to leave it 00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:21.060 That is, to the Kaaba 00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:23.060 Yellow or white 00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:26.060 Except to divide it among the Muslims 00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:30.189 I said what you are doing 00:01:30.189 --> 00:01:32.250 He said why 00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:35.409 I said your friends didn't do it 00:01:35.409 --> 00:01:40.409 He said, “They are the mirrors to emulate.” 00:01:40.409 --> 00:01:43.989 Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, said 00:01:43.989 --> 00:01:48.019 You should know before you get caught 00:01:48.019 --> 00:01:51.019 And his fate is to go with his companions 00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:53.049 You must know 00:01:53.049 --> 00:01:57.049 None of you knows when he will lack it 00:01:57.049 --> 00:02:00.180 Or he lacks what he has 00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:06.180 You will find people who claim that they are calling you to the Book of God 00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:09.180 They threw him behind their backs 00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:12.180 You must know 00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:14.180 And beware of creativity 00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:16.180 And beware of exaggeration 00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:19.180 And don't go too deep 00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:21.180 And upon you is the old one 00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:24.560 He said, may God be pleased with him 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.560 If you are asked about something 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.560 So look in the book of God 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.560 If you do not find it in the Book of God Almighty 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.560 In the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.560 If you do not find it in the Sunnah of the Messenger of God 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.560 This is what Muslims agreed upon 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.719 If it is not what Muslims have agreed upon 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.719 So make up your mind 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.719 And do not say that I am afraid and afraid 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.719 What is permissible is clear 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.719 And what is forbidden is clear 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.719 Among these are suspicious matters 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.719 So leave what doubts you for what does not doubt you 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:08.139 Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, said 00:03:08.139 --> 00:03:12.139 Are you not afraid that you will be punished or that you will be humiliated? 00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:17.139 To say that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:19.780 So-and-so said 00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:23.780 On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mughaffal, may God be pleased with him 00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:26.780 He saw a man being kidnapped 00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:28.780 And he said to him, “Do not be afraid.” 00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:32.780 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:35.879 He forbade cutting and saying 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.879 It is not hunted 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.879 No enemy can harm him 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.879 But it may break the tooth 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.229 And the eye pops out 00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:49.229 Then he saw him being taken away 00:03:49.229 --> 00:03:51.229 And he said to him 00:03:51.229 --> 00:03:55.229 I will tell you about the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:03:55.229 --> 00:03:57.229 He forbade cutting 00:03:57.229 --> 00:03:59.229 And you are cheating 00:03:59.229 --> 00:04:03.060 I don't talk to you like this 00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:07.060 On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both, he said 00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:12.120 I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.120 Do not prevent your women from going to mosques 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.120 If he asks you for permission to do so 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.350 Bilal bin Abdullah said 00:04:21.350 --> 00:04:23.350 By God, we will prevent them 00:04:23.350 --> 00:04:25.600 So Abdullah approached him 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.600 He cursed him with a bad insult 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.600 And he said 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.600 Tell you about the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.600 She says, “By God, we will prevent them.” 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.180 On the authority of Hudhayfah, may God be pleased with him, he said: 00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:43.180 O community of villages! 00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:45.180 Straighten up 00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:48.180 And follow the path of those who came before you 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:51.180 By God, because you were upright 00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:55.180 You have gone far ahead 00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:58.180 If you take right and left 00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:01.180 You have gone far astray 00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:05.819 Imam Malik Ibn Anas, may God have mercy on him 00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:09.819 If those who deviate from religion are mentioned to him, he says: 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:13.980 Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz, may God have mercy on him, said 00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:17.980 Sunnah of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:20.980 And the rulers after him are our age 00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:25.980 Adopting it is following the Book of God Almighty 00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:28.980 And to complete obedience to God Almighty 00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:31.980 And strength in God's religion 00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:35.980 No one among creation has the right to change or change it 00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:39.980 I will not consider anything that contradicts it 00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:42.980 Whoever is guided by it is guided 00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:45.980 Whoever seeks victory through it will be victorious 00:05:45.980 --> 00:05:49.980 Whoever abandons it follows other than the path of the believers 00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:52.980 And God appointed him as long as he took charge 00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:56.980 He will be sent to hell and an evil destination 00:05:56.980 --> 00:06:02.560 Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz, may God have mercy on him, wrote to the people 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.560 No one has an opinion in the Book of God 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.560 Rather, the opinion of the imams is about what was not revealed in a book 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.560 Not a year passed by the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:24.319 No one has an opinion on a sunnah enacted by the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.319 Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:31.319 By God, he was the one who recognized the origin of this nation 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:36.420 What they said with their tongues is also in their hearts 00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:40.420 By God, they were in agreement with the Book of their Lord 00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:44.420 And to the Sunnah of their Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:51.449 When night falls on them, they stand on their limbs, spreading their faces 00:06:51.449 --> 00:06:54.610 Tears run down their cheeks 00:06:54.610 --> 00:06:59.680 They desire their Lord to free their necks 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.680 If something in this world comes to them, they take their strength from it 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.680 And they put the credit in their return 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.680 They gave thanks to God 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.680 And if it was removed from them, they rejoiced and said 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.680 This is a view from God and a test from Him for us 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.839 If they do good, they will be pleased 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.839 They prayed to God to accept it from them 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.839 And if they do evil, it will harm them 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.839 And they asked God for forgiveness from her 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.220 On the authority of Al-Zuhri, may God have mercy on him, he said: 00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:40.250 Some of our scholars used to say: 00:07:40.250 --> 00:07:43.250 Holding fast to the Sunnah is a salvation 00:07:43.250 --> 00:07:47.800 On the authority of Mujahid, may God have mercy on him, he said: 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.800 There is no one but his words are taken away and left behind 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.800 Except for the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.079 On the authority of Ibn Sirin, may God have mercy on him 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.079 He was not speaking his mind 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.079 Except something he heard 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.370 He also said, may God have mercy on him 00:08:07.370 --> 00:08:11.370 As long as he is on the trail, he is on the road 00:08:11.370 --> 00:08:14.529 He also said, may God have mercy on him 00:08:14.529 --> 00:08:16.529 The first person to judge Satan 00:08:16.529 --> 00:08:19.529 And she did not worship the sun and the moon 00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:21.529 Except by standards 00:08:21.529 --> 00:08:24.689 And a man, may God have mercy on him, happened 00:08:24.689 --> 00:08:28.689 With a hadith from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:08:28.689 --> 00:08:30.819 A man said 00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:33.820 So-and-so said such-and-such 00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:35.879 Ibn Sirin said 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.879 I tell you about the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.879 And you say so-and-so and so-and-so said such-and-such 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.879 I never talk to you 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.169 On the authority of Qatada, may God have mercy on him, he said: 00:08:51.169 --> 00:08:55.169 What I said in my opinion thirty years ago 00:08:55.169 --> 00:08:58.779 Saeed bin Al-Musayyab, may God have mercy on him, saw this 00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:02.779 A man prays two rak'ahs after the afternoon prayer 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:03.779 And he said to him 00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:05.779 O Abu Muhammad 00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:08.779 Will God punish me for praying? 00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:09.779 He said no 00:09:09.779 --> 00:09:13.779 But God will punish you contrary to the Sunnah 00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:17.200 Al-Awza’i, may God have mercy on him, said 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.200 You have traces of your predecessors 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.200 Even if people reject you 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.200 Beware of men's opinions 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.200 Even if they embellish you with words 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:32.580 A man said to Imam Al-Shafi’i, may God have mercy on him 00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:34.580 O Abu Abdullah 00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:37.580 Take this conversation 00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:38.580 And he said 00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:42.580 When was it narrated on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace? 00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:44.580 A true hadith 00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:46.580 I did not take it 00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:49.580 I bear witness to you that my mind has gone 00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:52.799 He said, may God have mercy on him 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.799 If you find a Sunnah, follow it 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.799 Don't pay attention to anyone's words 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.090 He said, may God have mercy on him 00:10:02.090 --> 00:10:09.159 People are unanimously agreed that whoever has a clear Sunnah from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:14.159 He was not allowed to leave it to anyone else 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:19.639 Abu Ubaidan Al-Qasim bin Salam, may God have mercy on him, said 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.830 The one who follows the Sunnah is like one who holds hot coals 00:10:23.830 --> 00:10:29.830 This day is better for me than striking the sword in the name of God Almighty 00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:35.340 Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, may God have mercy on him, said 00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:41.500 Obedience to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in the Book of God Almighty 00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:44.500 In thirty-three places 00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:47.600 God Almighty said 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:53.690 Let those who disobey his command beware lest temptation befall them 00:10:53.690 --> 00:11:00.039 It was said to him: May God keep you alive, O Abu Abdullah, for your conversion to Islam 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:04.000 He said, "And the Sunnah." 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:08.129 Abu Othman Al-Hiri, may God have mercy on him, said 00:11:08.129 --> 00:11:14.129 Whoever commands the Sunnah upon himself in word and deed speaks wisdom 00:11:14.129 --> 00:11:19.159 And whoever commands his own inclinations, he pronounces heresy 00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:24.580 God Almighty said, “And if you obey Him, you will be guided.” 00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:27.580 Al-Junaid, may God have mercy on him, said 00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:30.580 Our knowledge is based on the Qur’an and Sunnah 00:11:30.580 --> 00:11:37.580 Whoever does not memorize the Qur’an, does not write down the hadith, and does not understand it, cannot be emulated 00:11:37.580 --> 00:11:44.210 A life of peace between words and deeds
