00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.080
Among the beauties of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:13.240
A tearful apology.

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:23.269
It was a tearful apology and a sorrowful reproach between a teacher and his students, a mentor and those who loved him.

00:00:23.269 --> 00:00:27.269
They had harbored a thought that was misplaced.

00:00:27.269 --> 00:00:33.270
They believed that their teacher had ignored them or forgotten their role in Islam.

00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:36.270
Their perspective did not align with his.

00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:40.270
He had sought to reconcile people’s hearts with those vast sums of wealth.

00:00:40.270 --> 00:00:44.270
And he had entrusted them to their own faith and integrity.

00:00:44.270 --> 00:00:47.340
Yet wealth is a trial.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:51.590
Therefore, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, delivered.

00:00:51.590 --> 00:00:54.590
His historic sermon during the Battle of Hunayn.

00:00:54.590 --> 00:01:01.590
A sermon unmatched in its eloquence, sincerity, impact, and gentle reproach.

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:06.170
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:10.170
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came to them.

00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:15.170
He praised Allah and extolled Him as He deserves.

00:01:15.170 --> 00:01:17.170
Then he said:

00:01:17.170 --> 00:01:20.170
"O company of the Ansar!"

00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:23.170
"What is this talk that has reached me from you?"

00:01:23.170 --> 00:01:27.170
"And this feeling you have harbored within yourselves?"

00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:31.359
"Did I not find you astray, and Allah guided you?"

00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.359
"And in need, and Allah enriched you?"

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.359
"And enemies, and Allah brought your hearts together?"

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.549
They replied:

00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:44.549
"Rather, Allah and His Messenger are more gracious and more generous."

00:01:44.549 --> 00:01:50.840
"Do you feel slighted, O company of the Ansar, over a trifle of this world?"

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.840
"With which I sought to reconcile the hearts of a people so they might embrace Islam."

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.840
"While I entrusted you to your own Islam."

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.099
"Are you not satisfied, O company of the Ansar,"

00:02:00.099 --> 00:02:04.099
"That people should go away with sheep and camels,"

00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:10.099
"While you return with the Messenger of Allah to your dwellings?"

00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:13.449
"For by Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad,"

00:02:13.449 --> 00:02:17.449
"Had it not been for the Hijrah, I would have been one of the Ansar."

00:02:17.449 --> 00:02:19.539
In that account,

00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:21.539
He said:

00:02:21.539 --> 00:02:24.539
"The people wept until they soaked their beards."

00:02:24.539 --> 00:02:26.539
And they said:

00:02:26.539 --> 00:02:30.539
"We are satisfied with the Messenger of Allah as our portion and our share."

00:02:30.539 --> 00:02:35.469
The Ansar, may Allah be pleased with them, understood thereafter,

00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:39.469
That the greatest bounty and the most noble gain,

00:02:39.469 --> 00:02:44.469
Was returning with the Messenger of Allah to their homes.

00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:48.469
And attaining the privilege of his company and his care.

00:02:48.469 --> 00:02:52.469
And witnessing the blessings that accompanied him.

00:02:52.469 --> 00:02:57.599
Here we learn of the humility of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.599
And his acknowledgment of the merit of the Ansar.

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.599
And his dialogue with his students.

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:08.599
And that Allah’s favor upon them through guidance is better and greater.

00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.699
And his apology to them for what had occurred.

00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:15.699
And that he was winning over those whose hearts were to be reconciled.

00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:18.759
And that the world is but a fleeting trifle.

00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.759
That will soon pass away.

00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.759
It should not deceive the believers.

00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.110
And Allah is the Grantor of success.

00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:33.110
Among the beauties of the Prophetic biography.
