00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:11.679
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful The life of the predecessors between words and deeds

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.240
The position of the predecessors regarding faith

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.679
It is belief, word and deed

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.149
Increases and cuts

00:00:22.149 --> 00:00:27.350
On the authority of Jund bin Abdullah Al-Bajli, may God be pleased with him, he said

00:00:27.350 --> 00:00:31.699
We were with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.

00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:35.090
And we are naughty boys

00:00:35.090 --> 00:00:40.049
So they learned faith before they learned the Qur’an.

00:00:40.049 --> 00:00:46.890
Then they learned the Qur’an and increased our faith in it.

00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:52.759
On the authority of Ubaid bin Umair Al-Laythi, may God have mercy on him, he said

00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.840
Faith is not wishful thinking

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.039
But faith is a word that is understood and an action that is done

00:01:01.950 --> 00:01:06.549
On the authority of Sufyan bin Uyaynah, may God have mercy on him, he said more than once:

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:09.620
Faith is word and deed

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.159
And he said

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.879
So we took it from those before us in word and deed

00:01:16.310 --> 00:01:20.150
There is no word without action

00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:24.700
It was said that Ibn Uyaynah increases and decreases

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:25.700
He said

00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:28.299
So anything?

00:01:28.989 --> 00:01:31.790
It was also said to him, may God have mercy on him

00:01:32.189 --> 00:01:34.989
Faith increases and decreases

00:01:35.390 --> 00:01:36.189
He said

00:01:36.590 --> 00:01:38.989
Do you not read the Qur’an?

00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:42.790
He increased their faith in more than one place

00:01:43.450 --> 00:01:44.250
It was said

00:01:44.450 --> 00:01:45.650
It decreases

00:01:46.049 --> 00:01:46.849
He said

00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:51.650
Nothing increases unless it decreases

00:01:52.689 --> 00:01:55.290
Al-Awza’i, may God have mercy on him, said

00:01:55.950 --> 00:02:01.349
Our predecessors did not differentiate between faith and action

00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:03.750
Act of faith

00:02:04.150 --> 00:02:06.150
Faith comes from action

00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.960
Yahya bin Saeed Al-Qattan, may God have mercy on him, said

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.960
One of the imams I realized was saying:

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.759
Faith is word and deed

00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:19.960
Increases and decreases

00:02:22.990 --> 00:02:25.789
The position of the predecessors regarding fate

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:31.099
On the authority of Abdullah bin Fayrouz, may God have mercy on him, he said:

00:02:31.699 --> 00:02:35.099
Something like this occurred to me

00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:39.099
I was afraid that my religion and my affairs would be ruined

00:02:40.030 --> 00:02:42.830
So I went to Ubayy ibn Ka'b and said:

00:02:43.229 --> 00:02:44.430
Apple Monther

00:02:45.129 --> 00:02:49.530
Something like this has occurred to me

00:02:49.930 --> 00:02:52.530
So I feared for my religion and my affairs

00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:55.729
So tell me something about that

00:02:56.129 --> 00:02:58.729
Perhaps God will benefit me with it

00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:00.580
And he said

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.680
If God had punished the people of His heavens and the people of His earth

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.680
He would torture them while he was not unjust to them

00:03:10.310 --> 00:03:15.909
If He had mercy on them, His mercy would have been better for them than their deeds

00:03:16.669 --> 00:03:19.669
Even if you had a mountain of gold

00:03:19.870 --> 00:03:21.669
Or like Mount Uhud

00:03:22.069 --> 00:03:24.270
Spend it for the sake of God

00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:28.270
It is not before you that you believe in destiny

00:03:28.870 --> 00:03:32.669
So you know that what happened to you could not have missed you

00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:36.469
And what did you wrong would not have happened to you

00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:41.539
And if you die otherwise than this, you will enter Hell

00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:47.139
You do not have to come to my brother Abdullah bin Masoud and ask him

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:49.659
So I came to Abdullah

00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:50.860
So I asked him

00:03:51.460 --> 00:03:53.860
So he mentioned what my father said

00:03:54.460 --> 00:03:55.460
He told me

00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:58.659
And you don't have to come to Hudhayfah

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:00.979
Then I came to Hudhayfah

00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:02.180
So I asked him

00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:04.979
He said as he said

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:06.379
And he said

00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:09.780
Go to Zaid bin Thabit and ask him

00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:12.539
So I went to Zaid bin Thabit

00:04:13.139 --> 00:04:13.939
So I asked him

00:04:14.539 --> 00:04:15.340
And he said

00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:20.540
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say

00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:25.899
If God had punished the people of His heavens and the people of His earth

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.699
He would torture them while he was not unjust to them

00:04:30.339 --> 00:04:31.540
Even if he had mercy on them

00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:35.939
His mercy would have been better for them than their deeds

00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:39.860
Even if you had gold like Uhud

00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:42.860
Or like a gold mountain

00:04:43.459 --> 00:04:45.660
Spend it for the sake of God

00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:50.060
He did not accept it from you until you believed in destiny

00:04:50.459 --> 00:04:54.459
So you know that what happened to you could not have missed you

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:58.459
And what did you wrong would not have happened to you

00:04:59.060 --> 00:05:03.459
And if you die otherwise than this, you will enter Hell

00:05:04.829 --> 00:05:08.430
It was said to Salman Al-Farsi, may God be pleased with him

00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:13.860
What do people say until you believe in destiny, its good and its evil?

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.360
He said

00:05:15.990 --> 00:05:17.790
When you believe in destiny

00:05:18.389 --> 00:05:21.990
You know that what happened to you was not going to happen to you

00:05:22.790 --> 00:05:25.589
And what happened to you would not have missed you

00:05:26.389 --> 00:05:27.389
And don't say

00:05:28.189 --> 00:05:32.189
If I had done such and such, then such and such would have happened

00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:35.420
Even if I didn't do such and such

00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:38.019
It wasn't so and so

00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:42.899
Ubadah Ibn al-Samit, may God be pleased with him, said

00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:45.500
To his son when death came to him

00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:47.100
My son

00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:50.699
I advise you to fear God Almighty

00:05:51.370 --> 00:05:53.970
And he knew that you would not fear God

00:05:54.170 --> 00:05:56.170
Until you believe in God

00:05:56.769 --> 00:05:59.370
And he knew that you would not believe in God

00:05:59.769 --> 00:06:02.569
And you will not feed the truth of faith

00:06:02.970 --> 00:06:04.569
You will not attain knowledge

00:06:04.970 --> 00:06:07.769
Until you believe in destiny in its entirety

00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:09.569
The good and the bad

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.399
He said to him, Father

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.800
How can I believe in destiny in its entirety, good and bad?

00:06:18.589 --> 00:06:19.189
He said

00:06:19.990 --> 00:06:23.790
You know that what happened to you could not have missed you

00:06:24.389 --> 00:06:27.389
Whatever missed you would not have happened to you

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.120
That is, brown

00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:34.720
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying

00:06:35.350 --> 00:06:38.350
The first thing God created was the pen

00:06:38.949 --> 00:06:39.550
He said

00:06:40.149 --> 00:06:40.949
Write

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:42.420
He said

00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:44.819
And what I write, O Lord

00:06:45.540 --> 00:06:46.339
He said

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:48.139
Write destiny

00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.439
The pen exploded at that hour with what happened

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.439
And what is is forever

00:06:56.779 --> 00:06:59.379
On the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both

00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:01.779
He was asked about fate

00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:03.180
And he said

00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:08.379
Something that God Almighty did not want to reveal to you

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:13.379
Do not desire from God Almighty what He has refused to you

00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:19.540
Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Al-Hussein Al-Ajri, may God have mercy on him, said

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:21.939
Commenting on this effect

00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:26.939
This is what Omar bin Abdul Aziz, may God have mercy on him, said

00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:29.740
In his message to the people of destiny

00:07:30.370 --> 00:07:30.970
Saying it

00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:33.129
Because you said

00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:37.129
God has said such and such in His book

00:07:37.730 --> 00:07:38.930
They are told

00:07:39.529 --> 00:07:41.129
They read from it

00:07:41.329 --> 00:07:42.529
I mean the companions

00:07:42.930 --> 00:07:44.529
What you have read

00:07:44.930 --> 00:07:48.129
And learn from its interpretation what you did not know

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.160
Then they said after all that

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.959
It is all book and destiny

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.959
And he wrote Al-Shaqwa

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.160
And it was not possible

00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.360
Whatever he wanted, it happened

00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.160
And what He did not will, did not happen

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.560
We have no power to harm or benefit ourselves

00:08:08.189 --> 00:08:11.189
Then they desired and were terrified

00:08:11.589 --> 00:08:12.790
And peace

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:18.300
On the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both, he said

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:20.699
Everything is as much

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:24.300
Until you put your hand on your cheek

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:29.379
On the authority of Muhammad bin Sirin, may God have mercy on him, he said:

00:08:30.050 --> 00:08:35.649
No people deny that God Almighty knew something and wrote it down

00:08:36.629 --> 00:08:40.230
On the authority of Iyas bin Muawiyah, may God have mercy on him, he said:

00:08:40.929 --> 00:08:46.730
I have not devoted my entire mind to people of desires other than people of destiny

00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:48.019
I said

00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:52.620
Tell me about the injustice in Arab speech, what it is

00:08:53.220 --> 00:08:54.019
They said

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:57.019
For a man to take what is not his

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.220
I said

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:01.620
God has everything

00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:04.139
Some of them said

00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:08.419
He who is incapable of opinion is wasting his opportunity

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:13.019
Even if something is missed, fate will blame

00:09:14.009 --> 00:09:17.210
It was said to Muhammad bin Wasi’, may God have mercy on him

00:09:17.809 --> 00:09:20.409
What do you say about fate and destiny?

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.639
He said

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:29.240
God Almighty will not ask His servants on the Day of Resurrection about His decree and destiny

00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.840
He only asks them about their deeds

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.320
On the authority of Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, he said:

00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.919
Whoever lies by fate has committed many lies
