Honesty with God 00:00:13.669 --> 00:00:17.699 Bakr bin Abdullah, may God have mercy on him, said 00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:20.699 Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him 00:00:20.699 --> 00:00:25.699 He did not favor people because he was the one who prayed and fasted the most 00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:30.019 Rather, he favored them with something that was in his heart 00:00:30.019 --> 00:00:34.020 On the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud, may God be pleased with him, he said 00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:41.380 You pray longer and are more diligent than the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:44.380 And they were better than you 00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:46.380 He was told nothing 00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:48.380 He said 00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:53.950 They were more ascetic in this world and more desirous of the afterlife than you 00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:56.950 Malik bin Dinar, may God have mercy on him, said 00:00:56.950 --> 00:01:00.020 Honesty seems weak in the heart 00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:03.020 It also looks like a palm tree 00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:05.379 It looks like a single branch 00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:07.379 If a boy plucks it 00:01:07.379 --> 00:01:09.379 Its origin is gone 00:01:09.379 --> 00:01:12.379 If a goat eats it, its roots are gone 00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:14.379 It is watered and spreads 00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:16.379 It is watered and spreads 00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:20.379 So that it has an original origin in Yutai 00:01:20.379 --> 00:01:22.379 And he kept taking shade 00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:25.379 And its fruit is eaten 00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:27.379 Also honesty 00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:29.379 He seems weak at heart 00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:31.379 Then his owner inspects him 00:01:31.739 --> 00:01:33.739 And God Almighty increases it 00:01:33.739 --> 00:01:35.739 His owner inspects him 00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:37.739 May God increase it 00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:41.739 So that God makes him a blessing to himself 00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:45.739 His words will be a medicine for sinners 00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:47.739 Then he says 00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:49.739 Haven't you seen them? 00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:52.739 Then he returns to himself and says: 00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:54.739 Yes 00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.739 By God, we have seen them 00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:58.739 Al-Hassan 00:01:58.739 --> 00:02:00.739 And Saeed bin Jubair 00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:03.739 The man among them, may God bless him 00:02:03.739 --> 00:02:06.739 With his words, he brought people together 00:02:06.739 --> 00:02:08.930 He said, may God have mercy on him 00:02:08.930 --> 00:02:11.930 Tell those who are not being honest 00:02:11.930 --> 00:02:13.930 Don't worry 00:02:13.930 --> 00:02:17.439 Abu Zar’ah, may God have mercy on him, said 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.439 I said to Ahmed bin Hanbal, may God have mercy on him 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.439 How did you get rid of Al-Mu'tasim's sword? 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.439 And Al-Wathiq Market 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.439 He said to me 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.439 Oh Abu Zaraa 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.439 If honesty were applied to a wound, it would be healed 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.110 It was said to Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, may God have mercy on him 00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:40.110 Who got what he got 00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:42.110 Until he mentioned it 00:02:42.110 --> 00:02:44.560 He said truthfully 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.560 He mentioned to him a man of honesty and sincerity 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.560 And he said 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.300 With this, the people rose 00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:56.330 Abu Suleiman Al-Darani, may God have mercy on him, said 00:02:56.330 --> 00:02:58.330 Whoever is sincere in abandoning lust 00:02:58.330 --> 00:03:01.330 God took it from his heart 00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:05.819 Saints 00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:10.620 On the authority of Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, he said 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:14.620 Some people are the keys to the remembrance of God 00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:16.620 If they see the remembrance of God 00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:21.349 On the authority of Abdullah bin Abi Awfa, may God be pleased with him, he said 00:03:21.349 --> 00:03:24.349 The choice of servants of God 00:03:24.349 --> 00:03:26.349 Who love God 00:03:26.349 --> 00:03:30.349 And those who love God to His servants 00:03:30.349 --> 00:03:33.960 Some of the predecessors, may God have mercy on him, said 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.960 God protects me 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.960 If his prestige increases, his humility increases 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.960 If his money increases, his generosity increases 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.960 As his age increases, his diligence increases 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.710 Sincerity 00:03:50.710 --> 00:03:52.710 Condemn hypocrisy and hypocrisy 00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:54.710 And fear of them 00:03:54.710 --> 00:04:00.990 Omar wrote to Abu Musa, may God Almighty be pleased with them both 00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:04.990 He who sincerely intends what is between him and God 00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:08.990 May God suffice him with what is between him and the people 00:04:08.990 --> 00:04:14.020 And whoever adorns people with what God knows is otherwise 00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:16.019 God willing 00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:20.569 On the authority of Umm Salamah, may God be pleased with her, she said 00:04:20.569 --> 00:04:23.569 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 00:04:23.569 --> 00:04:29.600 Among my friends are those I see who will never see me again after I die 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.730 This reached Omar, may God be pleased with him 00:04:32.730 --> 00:04:34.730 Then it became more intense 00:04:34.730 --> 00:04:36.730 He said to her 00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:38.730 I ask you, God 00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:40.730 I am one of them 00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:41.730 She said no 00:04:41.730 --> 00:04:44.730 I will never absolve anyone after you 00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:49.180 On the authority of Hudhayfah, may God be pleased with him, he said: 00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:53.180 Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, passed by me 00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:55.180 I am sitting in the mosque 00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:57.180 He said to me 00:04:57.180 --> 00:04:59.180 Oh Hudhayfah 00:04:59.180 --> 00:05:02.209 So-and-so has died, so bear witness 00:05:02.209 --> 00:05:03.209 He said 00:05:03.209 --> 00:05:05.209 Then he went 00:05:05.209 --> 00:05:08.209 Even if he almost left the mosque 00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:12.209 He turned to me and saw me sitting 00:05:12.209 --> 00:05:13.209 So he knew 00:05:13.209 --> 00:05:15.209 So he came back to me and said 00:05:15.209 --> 00:05:17.209 Oh Hudhayfah 00:05:17.209 --> 00:05:19.209 I adjure you by God 00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:21.209 The security of the people is me 00:05:21.209 --> 00:05:22.209 He said 00:05:22.209 --> 00:05:23.209 I said 00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:25.209 Oh God, no 00:05:25.209 --> 00:05:28.209 I will not acquit anyone after you 00:05:28.209 --> 00:05:29.209 He said 00:05:29.209 --> 00:05:32.209 I saw that Omar's eyes were serious 00:05:32.209 --> 00:05:36.660 That is, they shed tears of joy 00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:39.660 Ibn Masoud, may God be pleased with him, said 00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:44.660 Whoever shows up in this world, God will see him on the Day of Resurrection 00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:50.850 Whoever listens in this world, God will hear about him on the Day of Resurrection 00:05:50.850 --> 00:05:55.459 Hudhayfah Ibn Al-Yaman, may God be pleased with him, said 00:05:55.459 --> 00:06:02.490 The hypocrites today are worse than they were during the time of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:06:02.490 --> 00:06:05.490 They were happy that day 00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:07.680 Today they are speaking out loud 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.680 A man told him 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.709 I'm afraid I'm being a hypocrite 00:06:12.709 --> 00:06:14.709 And he said 00:06:14.709 --> 00:06:17.709 If you were a hypocrite, you would not be afraid 00:06:17.709 --> 00:06:22.509 Anas said to Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with him 00:06:22.509 --> 00:06:25.509 We are entering into our authority 00:06:25.509 --> 00:06:30.509 So we say to them the opposite of what we say if we leave them 00:06:30.509 --> 00:06:31.509 He said 00:06:31.509 --> 00:06:34.509 We considered it hypocrisy 00:06:34.509 --> 00:06:38.149 Mujahid, may God have mercy on him, said 00:06:38.149 --> 00:06:43.180 We sought this knowledge, but we had no great intention in it 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:47.629 Then God provided after his intention 00:06:47.629 --> 00:06:50.629 Hisham Al-Dastawi, may God have mercy on him, said: 00:06:50.629 --> 00:06:53.629 I swear I can't say 00:06:53.629 --> 00:06:56.629 I never went one day asking to talk 00:06:56.629 --> 00:07:00.860 I want the face of God Almighty 00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:02.860 Al-Dhahabi, may God have mercy on him, said 00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:05.860 I swear neither do I 00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:08.860 The predecessors sought knowledge for God 00:07:08.860 --> 00:07:12.860 They excelled and became imams to be followed 00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:16.920 Some of them sought it first, not for God 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.920 And they got 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.920 Then they woke up and held themselves accountable 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.920 Knowledge inspired them to sincerity along the way 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.589 On the authority of Al-Rabi’ bin Khathim, may God have mercy on him, he said: 00:07:30.589 --> 00:07:36.589 Everything that does not seek the face of God Almighty disappears 00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:40.259 On the authority of Abu Al-Aaliyah, may God have mercy on him, he said: 00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:45.259 The companions of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, told me 00:07:45.259 --> 00:07:47.259 Do not work for anyone other than God 00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:51.259 May God Almighty entrust you to whomever you work for 00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:54.709 Some of the predecessors, may God have mercy on him, said 00:07:54.709 --> 00:07:57.709 The closest people are to hypocrisy 00:07:57.709 --> 00:07:59.709 He made them believe in Him 00:07:59.709 --> 00:08:04.290 Mutarrif bin Abdullah, may God have mercy on him, said 00:08:04.290 --> 00:08:07.290 A good heart leads to good deeds 00:08:07.290 --> 00:08:10.290 Good deeds and good intentions 00:08:10.290 --> 00:08:14.990 On the authority of Abu Al-Aaliyah, may God have mercy on him, he said: 00:08:14.990 --> 00:08:19.990 The companions of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, gathered to meet me 00:08:19.990 --> 00:08:22.990 They said, O father of highness 00:08:22.990 --> 00:08:27.019 Do not do work that you desire other than God 00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:31.500 May God reward you for whoever you respond to 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:34.500 Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.629 By God, I am neither a believer nor a believer 00:08:37.629 --> 00:08:41.629 Unless he fears hypocrisy towards himself 00:08:41.629 --> 00:08:45.950 A young man was reading with Al-Hasan, may God have mercy on him 00:08:45.950 --> 00:08:48.950 He liked his voice 00:08:48.950 --> 00:08:51.950 He said: O Abu Saeed 00:08:51.950 --> 00:08:54.950 I have been blessed with this voice 00:08:54.950 --> 00:08:56.950 And I get up at night 00:08:56.950 --> 00:08:59.950 Then Satan comes and says: 00:08:59.950 --> 00:09:02.950 But you want to hear 00:09:02.950 --> 00:09:04.950 Al-Hassan said 00:09:04.950 --> 00:09:07.950 Your intention when you get out of bed 00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:12.210 It was said to Imam Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him 00:09:12.210 --> 00:09:15.269 You occupied yourself with this book 00:09:15.269 --> 00:09:18.269 People shared it with you 00:09:18.269 --> 00:09:20.269 So they did similar things 00:09:20.269 --> 00:09:21.269 And he said 00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:26.620 So that you may know what I want for the sake of God Almighty 00:09:26.620 --> 00:09:29.620 Ibn Al-Mubarak, may God have mercy on him, said 00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:32.620 I saw Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him 00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:35.620 I saw him as one of the humble ones 00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:40.690 But God raised him up due to a relationship between him and him 00:09:40.690 --> 00:09:44.690 This is what I often heard him say 00:09:44.690 --> 00:09:48.690 Whoever loves to open a hole in his heart 00:09:48.690 --> 00:09:53.690 He will be saved from the depths of death and the horrors of the Day of Resurrection 00:09:53.690 --> 00:09:58.690 Let him do more in secret than in public 00:09:58.690 --> 00:10:01.940 Ibn Wahb, may God have mercy on him, said 00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:06.940 Most of Malik was worshiped in secret, day and night 00:10:06.940 --> 00:10:10.649 Where no one sees him 00:10:10.649 --> 00:10:14.649 Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyad, may God have mercy on him, said in the Almighty’s saying: 00:10:14.649 --> 00:10:18.649 That He may test you as to which of you is best in deed 00:10:18.649 --> 00:10:20.649 Finish it and correct it 00:10:20.649 --> 00:10:26.840 If it is sincere and not correct, it will not be accepted 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:33.840 If it is correct and not sincere, it will not be accepted until it is sincere 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.840 And sincere if it belongs to God 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.840 It is correct if it is according to the Sunnah 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.350 He said, may God have mercy on him 00:10:42.350 --> 00:10:45.350 Quitting work for the sake of people is hypocrisy 00:10:45.350 --> 00:10:48.350 Working for the sake of people is a trap 00:10:48.350 --> 00:10:53.350 Sincerity is that God will protect you from them 00:10:53.350 --> 00:10:57.899 Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak, may God have mercy on him, said 00:10:57.899 --> 00:11:00.960 If two men recited it on the road 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.990 One of them wanted to pray two rak'ahs 00:11:04.990 --> 00:11:07.990 So he left them for his friend 00:11:07.990 --> 00:11:09.990 That was hypocrisy 00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:13.990 Even if he prayed them for his companion 00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.340 It is a trap 00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:18.340 Some of the predecessors, may God have mercy on him, said 00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:21.409 Whoever seeks the face of God with his knowledge 00:11:21.409 --> 00:11:24.409 May God accept him with a face 00:11:24.409 --> 00:11:27.409 And turn the hearts of the servants to Him 00:11:27.409 --> 00:11:30.440 And whoever works for other than God Almighty 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.440 He turned his face away 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.440 He diverted the hearts of the servants from Him 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.789 Yahya Ibn Abi Kathir, may God have
