In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:15
Mawaddah Association is pleased
0:17
To present to you pictures from the lives of the Companions
0:21
By Abd al-Rahman Rafat al-Basha
0:25
May God have mercy on him
0:26
Ka'b bin Malik, may God be pleased with him
0:46
Today's story is really violent
0:52
Deep sincerity
0:54
Extremely intense in terms of violence, depth and excitement in the stories
0:59
I am concerned, dear listener
1:03
To tell it to you myself
1:05
When I began, I found that my statement was unable to convey it to you with its delicate and wonderful gesture
1:13
And her wonderful, brilliant pictures
1:16
And her intense and abundant emotions
1:19
So I chose to leave that to the author of the story
1:23
He is more articulate than me
1:25
I appreciate the expression of his own feelings
1:28
The most accurate depiction of the whispers of his conscience
1:31
So listen to Kaab bin Mark Al-Ansari
1:34
The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, supported him
1:38
He will tell you his story
1:41
Kaab said
1:42
I did not lag behind the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:46
In a raid he conquered
1:48
Except on the day of Tabuk
1:50
I have never been stronger or easier to conquer
1:54
When I left behind that raid
1:57
He was the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
2:01
If he wanted a raid, he kept the news about it
2:04
See others
2:06
Except this invasion
2:08
Perhaps the one who made the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:12
He does not keep the news about her
2:14
It was because the heat was intense
2:16
And the travel was far
2:19
And the fruits have ripened
2:21
And misguidance has prevailed
2:23
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, prepared
2:27
The Muslims prepared with him
2:30
So I went to the market to prepare with them
2:34
But I came back every time
2:37
And I didn't do anything
2:39
So I say to myself
2:41
I am able to prepare at any moment
2:45
I'm still going with it
2:48
Even the grandfather of Muslims
2:50
And I didn't spend anything on my device
2:53
And so am I
2:55
The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, took the initiative
2:58
And who is with him to leave
3:00
I decided to follow them
3:03
And to realize them
3:04
I wish I had done so
3:06
But he didn't appreciate it for me
3:09
Then I was overcome with worry and worry about what I had done
3:14
They increased my anxiety
3:16
If I left my house and walked around among the people
3:20
I only see a man accused of hypocrisy
3:24
Or an incapable person whom God excuses for his inability
3:27
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not mention me
3:30
Until he reached Tabuk
3:32
He said to his friends
3:34
What did Ka'b bin Malik do?
3:37
A man from Bani Salamah said
3:39
But he imprisoned him with his bright clothes
3:42
And his look of kindness
3:44
Muadh bin Jabal said:
3:46
What you said is bad
3:48
By God, O Messenger of God
3:50
We learned nothing but good about him
3:53
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, remained silent
3:56
He didn't add anything
3:58
Then I was informed that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
4:02
Head to the city in a caravan
4:04
So my worry drove me
4:06
I started remembering the lies and telling them
4:09
How can I apologize to him and get rid of his anger tomorrow?
4:13
I sought help from all my family members in this regard
4:17
I did not find anything with them
4:19
And when I was told
4:21
The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
4:24
He might be coming
4:26
If falsehood is removed from me
4:28
And I knew that I would never get out of his anger
4:31
Something that is a lie
4:33
So I decided to be honest
4:35
Then he became the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
4:38
In the city
4:40
When he came back from a trip
4:42
He started with the mosque
4:44
He performs two rak'ahs therein
4:46
When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, finished
4:49
After two rak'ahs, he sat for the people
4:52
Then those left behind came like me
4:55
So they began to apologize to him and swear to him
4:58
They were eighty-few men
5:01
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, accepted from them
5:05
On their intention
5:07
And ask forgiveness for them
5:09
And entrust their secrets to God
5:11
So I came to him
5:13
When I greeted him
5:15
He smiled angrily, then said
5:18
Come on
5:20
So I walked until I sat in front of him
5:23
He said to me
5:25
What's behind you, Kaab?
5:27
Didn't you buy your camel?
5:30
So I said
5:31
I swear to God, O Messenger of God
5:34
If you sat with other people of the world
5:37
I would have gotten out of his anger with an excuse to make for him
5:40
By God, I have been given an argument and an explanation
5:44
But I swear
5:46
You knew that I told you a lie today
5:50
To be satisfied with me
5:52
God is about to make you angry with me
5:55
And if I told you something truthful, it would make you angry with me
5:59
I hope for God's forgiveness
6:02
By God, O Messenger of God
6:04
I had no excuse for what I did
6:08
I was never stronger and easier than when I left you
6:13
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said
6:16
But this is true
6:19
Then he turned to me and said
6:21
Stand up until God decides for you
6:24
So I got up and left the mosque
6:27
Kaab said
6:29
Soon, men from my people followed me
6:32
They told me
6:33
By God, we did not know that you had committed a sin before this
6:37
Who made you unable to apologize to the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him?
6:42
He also apologized to others who left behind
6:45
By God, they still scold me
6:48
Until I decided to return to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
6:52
So I lie to myself
6:54
But I soon told them
6:57
Would anyone share with me what I made?
7:00
And they said yes
7:02
Two men said the same as I said
7:04
So they were told as you were told
7:07
So I said who are they?
7:09
They said
7:10
Marara bin Al-Rabi’ and Hilal bin Umayyah
7:14
They were two good men
7:16
I witnessed my early days
7:18
So I said that I have something worse in it
7:21
Then I moved on
7:23
Ka'b bin Malik said
7:25
Then the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, soon stopped talking about the three of us
7:30
Among those left behind
7:32
So the people shunned us and they changed for us
7:35
Until she disguised herself in the same land
7:38
What remains is the land that I know
7:41
We stayed like that for fifty nights
7:45
As for my two friends
7:47
So they settled down and sat in their homes, crying
7:51
As for me
7:52
I was the youngest of the three and the most flogging of them
7:55
So I used to go out and witness the prayer with the Muslims
7:59
I wander around the markets
8:01
But no one talks to me
8:03
I used to come to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
8:07
So I greeted him while he was sitting after the prayer
8:11
Then I say to myself
8:13
Did he move his lips to return the greeting or not?
8:17
I was keen to pray close to him
8:21
To steal his glance
8:23
So, if you came to me for prayer, he would come to me
8:27
If I turn towards him, he will turn away from me
8:30
When people became angry with me for a long time
8:33
I became distressed
8:35
The wall of Abu Qatada's garden was covered with sand
8:38
He is my cousin and the most beloved person to me
8:41
So I greeted him
8:43
By God, he did not respond to my greeting
8:46
So I said, Abu Qatada
8:49
I ask you, God
8:51
Did you know that I love God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace?
8:56
So he remained silent
8:58
So I promised her to him and he remained silent
9:00
So I dated her
9:02
And he said
9:03
God and His Messenger know best
9:05
At that
9:07
I headed back the way I came
9:10
Then the unthinkable happened
9:13
While I was walking in the city market, no one spoke to me
9:18
If Nabataean is one of the Nabataeans of the Levant, he says
9:22
Who can direct me to Ka'b Ibn Malik?
9:25
So people pointed to me
9:27
He came to me and gave me a letter from the king of Gassam
9:31
So there it is
9:33
As for after
9:34
I have heard that your friend has deceived you
9:37
Join us as your comforter
9:41
I said when I read it
9:43
This is also a calamity
9:45
So I headed the message towards the light burning
9:49
So I threw the message into it
9:51
Kaab said
9:53
And when forty nights of the fifty had passed
9:56
A man came to me from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
10:00
He said that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
10:04
He orders you to isolate yourself from your wife
10:07
So I said: Let her go. What should I do?
10:10
He said: No, but keep away from her and do not approach her
10:14
I sent a similar message to my friend
10:17
So I said to my wife
10:19
Follow your family and stay with them
10:22
Until God decides this matter
10:25
So she went to her family
10:27
The mother of the wife of Hilal bin Umayyah
10:30
So she came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
10:33
She said, O Messenger of God
10:36
Hilal is a mortal sheikh and has no servant
10:40
Do you hate me serving him?
10:42
He said, “No, but he will not come close to you.”
10:45
She said, “By God, O Messenger of God.”
10:49
He is still crying since he stayed home
10:52
To this day
10:54
Kaab said
10:56
Then some of my family told me
10:58
If I had asked the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, permission
11:02
In your wife
11:03
He may grant you permission just as he granted Hilal bin Umayyah permission
11:07
I said, “By God, I will not do it.”
11:10
I do not know what the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, tells me
11:14
I am a young visionary
11:16
Kaab said
11:17
After that, she stayed for ten nights
11:20
Until fifty nights were completed for us
11:23
When I prayed the dawn prayer on the morning of fifty nights
11:27
I am on the back of one of our houses
11:30
The earth has narrowed down to what it welcomed
11:33
I was very upset with myself
11:36
I heard a screaming voice from the top of Mount Sila
11:40
He calls at the top of his voice
11:42
O Ka'b bin Malik, give good news
11:44
O Ka'b bin Malik, give good news
11:47
The sound just touched my hearing
11:49
Until I fell down prostrating to God
11:52
And I knew that relief had come to me
11:55
And the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
11:58
He announced this to his friends
12:01
People started giving me good tidings
12:03
The first of them to come was a knight who came on his horse
12:07
Missionaries also went to my companions
12:11
When the one whose voice I heard came to me
12:14
I took off my dress for him
12:16
So I covered them with his good tidings
12:19
By God, I do not have anything other than them
12:22
Then I borrowed two dresses and put them on
12:25
And she went to the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
12:29
So the Muslims met me, group after group
12:32
They congratulate me on my repentance and say:
12:35
May God’s repentance be upon you, O Ibn Malik
12:39
Until I entered the mosque
12:41
So, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
12:45
Sitting surrounded by people
12:47
His face was illuminated as if it were a piece of the moon
12:51
When I greeted him
12:53
He said, his face shining with pleasure
12:56
Good news, Kaab
12:58
Good tidings, Kaab, for a good day ahead of you
13:01
Since your mother gave birth to you
13:03
I said: I am safe with you, O Messenger of God
13:05
Security in the sight of God Almighty
13:08
He said: No, but from God
13:11
I said, O Messenger of God
13:13
It is part of my repentance that I give up all of my wealth
13:17
And to make it a charity for God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
13:23
The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said
13:26
Hold on to some of your money, heel
13:29
It is better for you
13:31
I said: I hold the arrow of the one in Khaybar
13:34
And I give in charity everything else
13:36
Then I said, O Messenger of God
13:39
God saved us with honesty
13:42
And from my repentance
13:44
I will only speak the truth as long as I remain
13:47
May God be pleased with Kaab Ibn Malik Al-Ansari
13:51
Poet of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
13:55
He defended Islam with his words and his statement
13:59
And God sent down a Qur’an about him and his companions
14:03
He still recites the deep end of the night and the end of the day
14:07
It will continue to be recited until God inherits the earth and those on it
14:13
Ka'b Ibn Malik, the poet of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
14:20
And one of the honest supporters
14:24
Those whom God has accepted
14:26
And He revealed to them the Qur’an
14:36
Oh, my poetry is better
14:38
In their praise, are they everlasting?
