From the beauties of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.080
Divine protection.

00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:21.440
No matter how much the conspirators plot against you or the ambushers gather against you, nothing will befall you except what Allah has decreed.

00:00:22.629 --> 00:00:29.629
For this reason, the certainty of the prophets and the righteous was the greatest certainty, and their reliance upon Allah was the most sincere.

00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:34.630
We learn from them the excellence of certainty and reliance upon the One, the Unique.

00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:39.630
They are not terrified by an enemy, nor are they intimidated by an adversary.

00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:43.950
Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:49.950
We went on a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, toward Najd.

00:00:50.950 --> 00:00:56.950
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, caught up with us in a valley filled with thorny trees.

00:00:56.950 --> 00:01:01.950
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, dismounted under a tree.

00:01:02.950 --> 00:01:05.950
He hung his sword on one of its branches.

00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:12.049
He said: The people dispersed throughout the valley, seeking shade under the trees.

00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:17.140
He said: Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:21.140
A man came to me while I was sleeping.

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:27.209
He took the sword, and I woke up while he was standing over me.

00:01:28.209 --> 00:01:32.209
I was suddenly aware of the sword being unsheathed in his hand.

00:01:33.209 --> 00:01:36.209
He said to me: "Who will protect you from me?"

00:01:37.209 --> 00:01:39.209
I said: "Allah."

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:44.340
Then he said a second time: "Who will protect you from me?"

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:47.340
I said: "Allah."

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:52.370
He said: So he sheathed the sword, and there he is, sitting.

00:01:53.370 --> 00:01:57.370
Yet the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, did not punish him.

00:01:59.650 --> 00:02:04.650
How many Arab tribes had the ambition to kill the Messenger of Allah,

00:02:05.650 --> 00:02:09.650
he who brought the true religion, and they plotted against him with schemes.

00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:14.650
But Allah thwarted them and turned their schemes back against them.

00:02:15.650 --> 00:02:18.650
Their plotting became scattered dust.

00:02:19.710 --> 00:02:23.710
Allah the Exalted says: ﴾And Allah will protect you from the people.﴿

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:29.780
The Bedouin had the opportunity here, and he brandished the sword; it was his chance.

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:36.780
But Allah subdued him, repelled his malice and his violence, and Allah is the best of protectors.

00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.479
For life and death belong to Allah alone.

00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.479
No human possesses them, and no created being can limit them.

00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.479
Nor can any army or oppressive force decree them.

00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:55.479
Why, then, should there be fear, when whoever relies upon Allah, He is sufficient for him?

00:02:56.509 --> 00:03:00.509
Whoever seeks His help, He grants him victory, and whoever seeks His aid, He assists him.

00:03:01.509 --> 00:03:07.509
Nothing occurs in His realms except what He, Glory be to Him and Exalted is He, wills.

00:03:08.509 --> 00:03:10.509
He is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.

00:03:11.509 --> 00:03:13.610
And Allah knows best.
