00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

00:00:15.289 --> 00:00:18.289
Mawaddah Association is pleased

00:00:18.289 --> 00:00:22.289
To present to you pictures from the lives of the Companions

00:00:22.289 --> 00:00:25.289
By Abd al-Rahman Rafat al-Basha

00:00:25.289 --> 00:00:27.320
May God have mercy on him

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.730
Rabia bin Kaab

00:00:30.730 --> 00:00:33.049
May God be pleased with him

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:48.579
Rabia bin Kaab said

00:00:48.579 --> 00:00:53.579
I was tempted by my young age when my soul was illuminated by the light of faith

00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:56.579
My heart was filled with the meanings of Islam

00:00:56.579 --> 00:01:02.740
My eyes did not turn kohl when I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, for the first time

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:07.739
I loved him with a love that overwhelmed every part of me

00:01:07.739 --> 00:01:11.739
I fell in love with him and cursed him for distracting me from everything else

00:01:11.739 --> 00:01:14.930
So I said to myself one day

00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:16.930
Woe to you, Rabia

00:01:16.930 --> 00:01:21.930
Why don't you devote yourself to serving the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:23.930
Introduce yourself to him

00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:28.930
If he is satisfied with you, you will be happy with his closeness and win his love

00:01:28.930 --> 00:01:31.930
And I enjoyed the goodness of this world and the hereafter

00:01:31.930 --> 00:01:36.989
Then I quickly presented myself to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:01:36.989 --> 00:01:39.989
I begged him to accept me into his service

00:01:39.989 --> 00:01:41.989
My hope was not disappointed

00:01:41.989 --> 00:01:44.989
He was satisfied with me to be his servant

00:01:44.989 --> 00:01:46.989
I have been since that day

00:01:46.989 --> 00:01:49.989
Obligated to the Holy Prophet from his shadow

00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:52.989
I walk with him wherever he goes

00:01:52.989 --> 00:01:55.989
I revolve in his orbit no matter how he rotates

00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:58.989
He did not even throw his side at me once

00:01:58.989 --> 00:02:01.989
Except I appeared standing in his hands

00:02:01.989 --> 00:02:04.989
And you don't see any of his needs

00:02:04.989 --> 00:02:07.989
But he found me rushing to fulfill it

00:02:07.989 --> 00:02:10.990
I served him all day

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:12.990
When the day passes

00:02:12.990 --> 00:02:16.990
The last supper arrived and he went home

00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:18.990
It is more important to leave

00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:22.020
But I can't wait to say to myself

00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:25.020
Where are you going, Rabia?

00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:28.020
Perhaps it would be exposed to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:31.020
needed at night

00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:33.020
So I sit at his door

00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:36.020
I do not turn away from his doorstep

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:39.020
He was the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:42.020
He spends his night standing and praying

00:02:42.020 --> 00:02:45.020
Perhaps you heard him reciting the opening of the book

00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:49.020
He keeps repeating it for hours of the night

00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:51.020
Until I hope so I leave it

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.020
Or my eyes overwhelm me and I fall asleep

00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:56.090
And you might have heard him say

00:02:56.090 --> 00:02:59.090
God hears those who praise Him

00:02:59.090 --> 00:03:05.090
He continues to repeat it for a longer period of time than he repeats the opening of the book

00:03:05.090 --> 00:03:09.090
It was a habit of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:12.090
No one did him any favors

00:03:12.090 --> 00:03:17.090
But he would like to reward him with something more honorable than him

00:03:17.090 --> 00:03:20.090
He wanted to reward me for my service to him

00:03:20.090 --> 00:03:23.090
One day he came to me and said

00:03:23.090 --> 00:03:25.090
O Rabia Ibn Ka'b

00:03:25.090 --> 00:03:29.150
So I said, “I beg your pardon, O Messenger of God, and may I be pleased with you.”

00:03:29.150 --> 00:03:33.280
He said: Ask me something and I will give it to you

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.280
I fried a little and then said

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.280
Give me time, O Messenger of God, to consider what I ask of you

00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.310
Then I will let you know

00:03:42.310 --> 00:03:45.439
He said there is no problem with you

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.439
I was a poor young man at that time

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.439
I have no family, no money, and no housing

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.439
But I used to resort to the type of mosque

00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.439
With poor Muslims like me

00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.439
People used to call us guests of Islam

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.439
If one of the Muslims comes

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:07.439
In charity to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.439
He sent them all to us

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.439
If someone gives him a gift

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.439
He took some of it and made the rest of it ours

00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.439
So my soul told me to ask the Messenger of God

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.439
Something of the good of the world

00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.439
I am enriched by him out of poverty

00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.439
Others made you have money, a husband, and a child

00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.439
But I soon said

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.439
Damn you, Rabia bin Kaab

00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.439
The world is fleeting and fleeting

00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.439
Indeed, you have sustenance in it, which God Almighty will guarantee

00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.439
It must come to you

00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.600
And the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.600
In status with his Lord

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.600
He does not receive a request from him

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.600
So ask him to ask God for your blessings in the afterlife

00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.660
I was happy for that

00:04:55.660 --> 00:04:57.660
And she comforted him

00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:00.660
Then I came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:03.660
He said, “What do you say, Rabia?”

00:05:03.660 --> 00:05:06.759
So I said, O Messenger of God

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.759
I ask you to pray for me, God Almighty

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.759
To make me your companion in heaven

00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.759
He said: Who advised you to do that?

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.759
I said no, by God

00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:20.759
What no one recommended to me

00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.759
But when you told me

00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.759
Ask me and I will give you

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.759
I told myself to ask you

00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:28.759
Something of the good of the world

00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.759
Then it was not long before I was guided to

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.759
Preferring what remains over what is fleeting

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.759
So I asked you to pray to God for me

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.759
To be your companion in heaven

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.790
The Messenger of God was silent for a long time

00:05:40.790 --> 00:05:41.790
Then he said

00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:43.790
Or otherwise, Rabia

00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:46.790
I said: No, O Messenger of God

00:05:46.790 --> 00:05:49.790
I am not fair in what I asked of you

00:05:49.790 --> 00:05:50.819
And he said

00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:53.819
So I mean on yourself

00:05:53.819 --> 00:05:55.819
A lot of prostration

00:05:55.819 --> 00:05:57.949
So I began to practice worship

00:05:57.949 --> 00:05:59.949
To enjoy the company of the Messenger of God

00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:01.949
May God bless him and grant him peace

00:06:01.949 --> 00:06:02.949
In heaven

00:06:02.949 --> 00:06:04.949
I also had the privilege of serving him

00:06:04.949 --> 00:06:06.949
And his company in this world

00:06:06.949 --> 00:06:09.079
Then he did not proceed with that

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.079
Long time

00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.079
Until the Messenger of God called me

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.079
May God bless him and grant him peace

00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:16.079
And he said

00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.079
Don't you get married, Rabia?

00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:19.079
So I said

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.079
I don't like to be distracted by anything

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.110
About your service, O Messenger of God

00:06:24.110 --> 00:06:27.110
Then I have nothing to give my wife

00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:30.110
Nor what I can live by

00:06:30.110 --> 00:06:31.110
So he remained silent

00:06:31.110 --> 00:06:33.110
Then he saw me again

00:06:33.110 --> 00:06:34.110
And he said

00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:36.110
Don't you get married, Rabia?

00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:38.110
I answered him as I told him

00:06:38.110 --> 00:06:40.110
Last time

00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:43.209
But I did not withdraw into myself

00:06:43.209 --> 00:06:46.209
Until I regretted what happened to me

00:06:46.209 --> 00:06:47.209
And I said

00:06:47.209 --> 00:06:49.209
Woe to you, Rabia

00:06:49.209 --> 00:06:51.209
I swear to God that the Prophet

00:06:51.209 --> 00:06:53.209
Let me know what works for you

00:06:53.209 --> 00:06:55.209
In your religion and your world

00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:57.209
And I know what you have

00:06:57.209 --> 00:06:59.209
I swear because he called me

00:06:59.209 --> 00:07:01.209
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:07:01.209 --> 00:07:03.209
After this time

00:07:03.209 --> 00:07:04.209
To marriage

00:07:04.209 --> 00:07:05.209
I will answer him

00:07:05.209 --> 00:07:07.209
It didn't last long

00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:09.209
Long time until he told me

00:07:09.209 --> 00:07:10.209
The Messenger

00:07:10.209 --> 00:07:13.209
Don't you get married, Rabia?

00:07:13.209 --> 00:07:16.209
I said, “Yes, O Messenger of God.”

00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:19.209
But who will marry me when you know me?

00:07:19.209 --> 00:07:20.209
And he said

00:07:20.209 --> 00:07:22.209
Go to so-and-so's family

00:07:22.209 --> 00:07:23.209
And tell them

00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:25.209
The Messenger of God commands you

00:07:25.209 --> 00:07:28.209
If your girl, so-and-so, marries me

00:07:28.209 --> 00:07:30.209
So I came to them timidly

00:07:30.209 --> 00:07:31.209
And I told them

00:07:31.209 --> 00:07:34.209
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:07:34.209 --> 00:07:36.209
He sent me to you

00:07:36.209 --> 00:07:39.209
Let your girl, so-and-so, marry me

00:07:39.209 --> 00:07:41.209
They said so-and-so

00:07:41.209 --> 00:07:42.209
So I said yes

00:07:42.209 --> 00:07:45.209
They said, Welcome to the Messenger of God

00:07:45.209 --> 00:07:48.209
Welcome to the Messenger of God

00:07:48.209 --> 00:07:51.269
By God, the messenger of the Messenger of God will not return

00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:53.269
Unless he needs it

00:07:53.269 --> 00:07:55.269
They held me down

00:07:55.269 --> 00:07:58.459
So I came to the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him

00:07:58.459 --> 00:08:00.459
And I said, O Messenger of God

00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:03.459
I come from the best home

00:08:03.459 --> 00:08:06.459
Believe me and welcome me

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:08.459
They held me to their daughter

00:08:08.459 --> 00:08:11.459
Where do I get the dowry from?

00:08:11.459 --> 00:08:14.459
So the Messenger summoned Buraydah Ibn Al-Khasib

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:17.459
He was one of the leaders of my people, Banu Aslam

00:08:17.459 --> 00:08:19.459
And he told him

00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:20.459
Oh Buraida

00:08:20.459 --> 00:08:23.459
Collect the weight of gold for Rabia

00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:25.459
So they collected it for me

00:08:25.459 --> 00:08:29.459
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me

00:08:29.459 --> 00:08:31.459
Take this to them

00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:34.460
And tell them this is your daughter's dowry

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:37.460
So I came to them and gave it to them

00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:39.460
They accepted him and satisfied him

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:41.460
They said very well

00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:45.500
So I came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:46.500
And I said

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:49.500
I have never seen a people more generous than them

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:52.500
They were satisfied with what I gave them, even though it was little

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:55.500
They said very well

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:59.500
From where do I know what I know, O Messenger of God?

00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:01.529
The Messenger said to Buraydah

00:09:01.529 --> 00:09:04.529
Collect for Rabia the price of a ram

00:09:04.529 --> 00:09:07.529
So they bought me a great, fat ram

00:09:07.529 --> 00:09:10.559
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me

00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.559
Go to Aisha

00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.559
Tell her to give you her barley

00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.559
So I went to her and she said to you, Al-Muktal

00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.559
It contains seven pearls of barley

00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.559
No, by God, we have no other food

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.659
So I went with the ram and barley to my wife’s family

00:09:29.659 --> 00:09:32.659
They said, “As for barley, we prepare it.”

00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:36.659
As for the ram, order your companions to prepare it for you

00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:38.659
So I took the ram

00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:41.659
So I and some people from Aslam took the ram

00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:44.659
So we slaughtered it, skinned it, and cooked it

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:47.659
We had bread and meat

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:51.659
So I prayed and called the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:09:51.659 --> 00:09:53.659
He answered my call

00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:57.659
Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:09:57.659 --> 00:10:00.659
He gave me land next to Abu Bakr's land

00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:03.659
So I entered the world

00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:06.659
Even if I disagreed with Abu Bakr over a palm tree

00:10:06.659 --> 00:10:09.659
I said, “It is on my land.”

00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:12.659
He said, “Rather, it is in my land.”

00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:16.820
So I argued with him and he made me say something I hated

00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:20.820
When the word came out of him, he regretted it and said

00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:23.820
O Rabia, answer me the same

00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:26.820
So that would be retaliation

00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:29.820
I said, “No, by God, I will not do it.”

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:32.820
He said: If the Messenger of God comes

00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:35.820
I complain to him about your refusal to take revenge on me

00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:38.820
And he went to the Prophet

00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:40.879
So I followed him

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.879
So my people bin Aslam followed me

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.879
They said he was the one who started with you and insulted you

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.879
Then he will precede you to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.909
Fishhook

00:10:52.909 --> 00:10:55.909
So I turned to them and said, “Waahukm.”

00:10:55.909 --> 00:10:58.909
Do you know who this friend is?

00:10:58.909 --> 00:11:01.909
And the gray haired Muslims

00:11:01.909 --> 00:11:04.909
Go back before he turns around and sees you

00:11:04.909 --> 00:11:07.909
He thinks that you have come to help me with it

00:11:07.909 --> 00:11:10.909
He gets angry and the Messenger of God comes

00:11:10.909 --> 00:11:13.909
The Prophet becomes angry because of his anger

00:11:13.909 --> 00:11:16.909
God becomes angry because of their anger and Rabia is destroyed

00:11:16.909 --> 00:11:19.980
So they returned

00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:22.980
Then Abu Bakr came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:25.980
The conversation happened to him as it was

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:28.980
The Messenger raised his head to me and said

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:31.980
Oh Rabia, what's wrong with you and your friend?

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:34.980
So I said, O Messenger of God

00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:37.980
He wanted me to tell him as he told me

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:40.980
I did not and he said yes

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:43.980
Don't tell him what he told you

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:46.980
But say: May God forgive Abu Bakr

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:50.100
I told him, may God forgive you

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:53.100
Oh Abu Bakr

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:56.100
His eyes were overflowing with tears

00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:00.100
May God reward you well on my behalf, Rabia bin Kaab

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:03.100
May God reward you well on my behalf, Rabia bin Kaab
