1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,399
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:11,560
In the embrace of Allah, happiness pours into the hearts.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,560
Seek ever-greater closeness to the Most Merciful.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,559
The Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Musa Mosque.

5
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:21,559
With excellence, it presents:

6
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:24,559
The Musk of Discourse.

7
00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:26,559
By Sheikh Usama Bahr.

8
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:28,559
May Allah preserve him.

9
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:35,560
Whoever obeys the Lord dissolves into the sweetest of feelings.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,560
The heavy-laden date palm for Abu al-Dahdah.

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:44,770
There was, in the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

12
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:46,770
an orphaned boy.

13
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:49,770
He had an orchard adjacent to the orchard of a man.

14
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:52,770
The boy wanted to build a wall,

15
00:00:52,770 --> 00:00:56,770
but a date palm belonging to the man stood in the way of this wall.

16
00:00:56,770 --> 00:00:58,770
So he went to him and said,

17
00:00:58,770 --> 00:01:00,770
"O my brother,

18
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:03,770
you have many date palms in your orchard,

19
00:01:03,770 --> 00:01:08,769
so it would not harm you to give me this palm tree that obstructs my wall."

20
00:01:08,769 --> 00:01:09,769
The man replied,

21
00:01:09,769 --> 00:01:12,769
"No, by Allah, I will not give you the palm tree."

22
00:01:12,769 --> 00:01:14,769
He then said, "Sell it to me."

23
00:01:14,769 --> 00:01:15,769
The man replied,

24
00:01:15,769 --> 00:01:18,769
"No, by Allah, I will not do any of that."

25
00:01:18,769 --> 00:01:22,769
So this orphan went to the Prophet, peace be upon him,

26
00:01:22,769 --> 00:01:23,769
and said,

27
00:01:23,769 --> 00:01:25,769
"O Messenger of Allah,

28
00:01:25,769 --> 00:01:28,769
my orchard is next to the orchard of so-and-so,

29
00:01:28,769 --> 00:01:31,769
and I wanted to build a wall,

30
00:01:31,769 --> 00:01:35,769
but a palm tree belonging to this man obstructed me, and he refused me."

31
00:01:35,769 --> 00:01:39,769
"So intercede for me with him, perhaps he will give me the palm tree."

32
00:01:39,769 --> 00:01:41,769
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

33
00:01:41,769 --> 00:01:42,769
"Call him."

34
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,769
When the man came,

35
00:01:44,769 --> 00:01:47,769
the Prophet, peace be upon him, said to him,

36
00:01:47,769 --> 00:01:49,769
"Give this palm tree to your brother."

37
00:01:49,769 --> 00:01:51,769
He said, "No."

38
00:01:51,769 --> 00:01:53,769
He repeated the request to him three times,

39
00:01:53,769 --> 00:01:55,769
and the man refused.

40
00:01:55,769 --> 00:01:57,769
Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

41
00:01:57,769 --> 00:01:59,769
"Give him the palm tree,

42
00:01:59,769 --> 00:02:02,769
and you shall have a palm tree in Paradise for it."

43
00:02:02,769 --> 00:02:04,769
The man said, "No."

44
00:02:04,769 --> 00:02:07,769
Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, fell silent.

45
00:02:07,769 --> 00:02:10,770
Abu al-Dahdah stood up when he heard this offer,

46
00:02:10,770 --> 00:02:11,770
and said,

47
00:02:11,770 --> 00:02:13,770
"O Messenger of Allah,

48
00:02:13,770 --> 00:02:16,770
what do you think if I bought this man's palm tree

49
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:18,770
and then gave it to the orphan?

50
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:21,770
Would I have a palm tree in Paradise?"

51
00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:22,770
He said, "Yes."

52
00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:25,770
So Abu al-Dahdah offered his own orchard,

53
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:28,770
which contained six hundred palm trees, a well, and a house.

54
00:02:28,770 --> 00:02:30,770
Abu al-Dahdah said,

55
00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:32,770
"O owner of the palm tree,

56
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:34,770
do you know my orchard?"

57
00:02:34,770 --> 00:02:36,770
He replied, "Yes, I know it.

58
00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:38,770
Who could be ignorant of it?

59
00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:41,770
Your orchard has excellent dates."

60
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:42,770
He said,

61
00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:43,770
"O so-and-so,

62
00:02:43,770 --> 00:02:46,770
take my entire orchard and all that is in it,

63
00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:48,770
and give me this palm tree."

64
00:02:48,770 --> 00:02:51,770
The man turned to the people and said,

65
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:53,770
"Do you bear witness to this sale?"

66
00:02:53,770 --> 00:02:54,770
They said, "Yes."

67
00:02:54,770 --> 00:02:56,770
The man said,

68
00:02:56,770 --> 00:03:00,770
"Yes, I have taken the orchard and given you the palm tree."

69
00:03:00,770 --> 00:03:03,770
Abu al-Dahdah turned to the orphan and said,

70
00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:06,770
"O so-and-so, the palm tree is yours from me;

71
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:08,770
take it."

72
00:03:08,770 --> 00:03:12,770
Then Abu al-Dahdah turned to the Prophet, peace be upon him,

73
00:03:12,770 --> 00:03:13,770
and said,

74
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:15,770
"O Messenger of Allah,

75
00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:18,770
do I now have a palm tree in Paradise?"

76
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:20,770
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

77
00:03:20,770 --> 00:03:25,770
"How many heavy-laden date palms does Abu al-Dahdah have in Paradise!"

78
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:29,830
Then Abu al-Dahdah went out to his family to bring them out of the orchard.

79
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:31,830
He said,

80
00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:34,830
"O Umm al-Dahdah, I have sold the orchard."

81
00:03:34,830 --> 00:03:35,830
She asked,

82
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:37,830
"How did you sell the orchard?"

83
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:38,830
He said,

84
00:03:38,830 --> 00:03:41,830
"I sold it to my Lord for a palm tree in Paradise."

85
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:43,830
She said,

86
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:45,830
"A profitable trade, O Abu al-Dahdah!"

87
00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:50,830
Then she took her children and led them out of the orchard gate.

88
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:52,830
She then searched their pockets,

89
00:03:52,830 --> 00:03:56,830
and whoever had any fruit with them, she took it out,

90
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,830
placed it back in the orchard,

91
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:59,830
and said,

92
00:03:59,830 --> 00:04:01,830
"This is not ours;

93
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:04,830
this belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds."

94
00:04:46,949 --> 00:04:54,949
Whatever Allah commands, He brings to pass.
