May God have mercy on him
0:27
Muhammad bin Sirin
0:32
May God have mercy on him
0:42
Sirin decided to complete the half of his religion
0:45
After Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, freed his neck
0:50
After his craft began to bring him abundant profit and much good
0:56
He was a skilled coppersmith who mastered making pots
1:01
He was chosen as a servant of the Commander of the Faithful, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him
1:08
Safia is invited to be his wife
1:13
Safiya was a slave girl in her early youth
1:17
She has a bright face and a smart heart
1:20
Cream of Shama by Nabila Al-Khaseel
1:23
She was beloved by all the women of the city who knew her
1:28
There is no difference in this between the young women who are related to her and the young women who are related to her
1:34
Among the older women who saw her, he rated them as a sound mind and sober behavior
1:42
The women who loved her the most were the wives of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
1:49
Not to mention Mrs. Aisha, may God be pleased with her
1:53
Sirin came forward to the Commander of the Faithful
1:58
So he proposed to his mistress, Safiyya
2:01
The friend, may God be pleased with him, took the initiative to research the suitor’s religion and character
2:06
The caring father also takes the initiative to search for the condition of his daughter’s suitor
2:12
Make no mistake, Safiyya occupied the status of a son in relation to Abu Bakr, as a son in relation to his father
2:20
Then after that, it is all a trust, or God has left it on his neck
2:26
He went on to investigate Sirin's conditions more closely
2:30
His biography is closely followed
2:34
Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, was at the forefront of those who asked them about him
2:40
Anas said to him, “O Commander of the Faithful, marry her to him.”
2:45
Do not fear any harm for her
2:48
I did not know him except one who was true to religion, pleased with his character, and well-mannered
2:54
His reasons have been linked to my reasons since Khalid bin Al-Walid took him captive
2:59
In the battle of Ain al-Tamr, he brought with forty boys to the city
3:06
Sirin was my lot and I was lucky with him
3:11
Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, agreed to marry Safiya to Sirin
3:16
He was determined to honor her as a compassionate father would honor his beloved daughter
3:22
He threw a party for her queen, the likes of which few girls in the city had ever received
3:29
A large group of noble companions witnessed its ownership
3:35
There were eighteen Badrians among them
3:39
The scribe of the revelation of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, called for her Ubayy ibn Ka’b
3:45
And those present believed in his prayers
3:48
And her kindness and beauty were three of the Mothers of the Believers, may God be pleased with them, when she was married off to her husband
3:57
One of the fruits of this blessed marriage was that the parents were blessed with a son
4:03
After two decades, he became a prominent figure among the followers
4:09
One of the most distinguished Muslims was Muhammad ibn Sirin
4:14
So let us begin the story of the life of this venerable follower from the beginning
4:21
Muhammad bin Sirin was born during the remaining two years of the caliphate of the Commander of the Faithful, Othman bin Affan, may God be pleased with him
4:30
He was raised in a home with piety and piety from every corner
4:36
And when the intelligent, clever boy woke up
4:39
He found the mosque of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
4:43
It is filled with the remaining remnants of the noble Companions and senior followers
4:49
Such as Zaid bin Thabit, Anas bin Malik, and Imran bin Al-Hussein
4:55
And Abdullah bin Omar, Abdullah bin Abbas, Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr, and Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with them all.
5:05
So I approached them as a thirsty person would seek a sweet resource
5:09
He benefited from their knowledge of the Book of God and their understanding of the religion of God
5:14
And their narration of the hadith of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
5:19
How full of wisdom and knowledge his mind is
5:22
And he provided himself with righteousness and guidance
5:25
Then the family moved with their outstanding boy to Basra
5:30
She made it her home
5:34
Basra at that time was a young and virgin city
5:38
The Muslims planned it at the end of the caliphate of Al-Farouq, may God be pleased with him
5:44
It represented most of the characteristics of the Islamic nation in that era
5:50
It is a military base for Muslim armies invading for the sake of God
5:56
It is one of the centers of education and guidance for those entering the religion of God from the people of Iraq and Persia
6:04
It is an image of a serious Islamic society that works for its worldly life as if it were living forever
6:12
He works until the end as if he will die tomorrow
6:16
In his new life in Basra, Muhammad bin Sirin took two parallel and balanced paths
6:25
So he devoted part of his day to knowledge and worship
6:29
Another part is for earning and trading
6:32
Then dawn came and the world shone with the light of its Lord
6:37
Tomorrow to the Basra Mosque to teach and learn
6:41
Even when the day rose, he went from the mosque to the market, buying and selling
6:47
When night comes and the universe falls into a blanket
6:52
He lined up in the mihrab of his house and bowed over parts of the Qur’an with his cross
6:58
He cried out of fear of the Most Merciful, with tears in his eyes and heart
7:03
Until his family and envious neighbors pity him
7:07
When they hear his wailing that breaks the hearts
7:12
He used to roam the market during the day, buying and selling
7:18
He never ceases to remind people of the afterlife and give them insight into this world
7:23
He guides them to what brings them closer to God
7:26
He decides on the disputes that arise between them
7:29
He used to nudge them from time to time with salt
7:33
Which wipes away the worries from their distressed souls
7:37
Without this detracting from his prestige and respect among them in any way
7:42
God Almighty gave him guidance and honor
7:47
And give him acceptance and influence
7:50
When people saw him in the market, they were immersed and unaware
7:55
Pay attention and remember God Almighty, and praise and exalt God
8:00
His practical life was the best guide for people
8:05
Two things happened to him in his business
8:08
Unless he takes the most reliable of them in his religion
8:11
Even if there is a loss that befalls the world
8:15
His understanding of the secrets of religion was accurate
8:19
And the correctness of his view of what is permissible and what is not permissible
8:23
Sometimes it pushes him into some situations that seem strange to people's eyes
8:29
For example, a man falsely claimed that he owed two dirhams
8:36
He refused to give them to him
8:39
The man said to him, “Shall I swear?”
8:42
He thinks he will not swear for two dirhams
8:46
He said yes and swore to him
8:51
And the people said to him
8:53
O Abu Bakr, I swear for two dirhams
8:57
And you are the one who left forty thousand dirhams yesterday for something that you have acquired
9:02
Which no one but you would suspect
9:05
He said: Yes, I swear
9:08
I do not want to feed him unlawful food
9:11
I know it is forbidden
9:15
It was Bin Sirin's council
9:17
A council of goodness, righteousness and admonition
9:20
If a man is mentioned to him with an evil deed
9:23
He hastened to remind him of the best of his knowledge
9:27
He even heard someone insulting the pilgrims after his death
9:32
So he approached him and said
9:34
Shh, my nephew
9:36
Al-Hajjaj went to his Lord
9:39
And when you come before God Almighty
9:42
You will find that it is the most despicable sin you have committed in the world
9:46
It is more difficult for yourself than the greatest sin committed by the pilgrims
9:51
On that day, each of you will have something that will enrich him
9:55
And teach, my nephew
9:57
That God Almighty
9:59
He will take revenge on the pilgrims for those who wronged them
10:02
He will also retaliate against the pilgrims who wronged him
10:06
Do not worry yourself after today about cursing anyone
10:10
Whenever a man came to him on a business trip
10:15
He told him
10:16
My nephew
10:18
Fear God Almighty
10:20
And ask for whatever lawful path is destined for you
10:24
And he knew that if you ask for it without solving it
10:27
You were not injured more than you were destined to be
10:30
It was by Muhammad bin Sirin
10:34
The picks of the Umayyad tribe are notable positions
10:38
Spread the word of truth in it
10:40
I sincerely advise God and His Messenger
10:43
And to the imams of Muslims
10:45
From this, Omar bin Hubayra Al-Fazari
10:49
The great man of Banu Umayyad
10:51
And their governor over the Iraqis
10:53
He sent a letter to him inviting him to visit him
10:57
So he went to him and with him was my nephew
11:00
When he came to him
11:02
The governor welcomed him and honored him
11:05
He adjourned the council
11:07
He asked him about many religious and worldly matters
11:11
Then he told him
11:13
How did you leave the people of Egypt, Abu Bakr?
11:16
And he said
11:18
I left them and there was injustice among them
11:20
And you are not on their side
11:22
So his nephew winked at him
11:25
He turned to him and said
11:27
You are not the one asking about them
11:30
But I am the one asking
11:33
It is a testimony
11:35
And whoever conceals it, his heart is sinful
11:39
When the council adjourned
11:41
And call him Omar bin Hubayra
11:43
He received him with such warmth and reverence
11:47
He sent him a bag containing three thousand dinars
11:51
He did not take it
11:53
His nephew said to him
11:55
What prevents you from accepting the prince's gift?
11:58
And he said
12:00
He gave it to me because of his good belief in me
12:03
If you are among the good people as he thought
12:06
What should I accept?
12:09
Even if I was not what he thought
12:11
I would rather not deem it permissible to accept that
12:16
God Almighty has willed it
12:19
To test the honesty and patience of Muhammad ibn Sirin
12:23
It exposes him to the tribulations that believers are exposed to
12:27
From that
12:29
He once bought oil for forty thousand deferred
12:34
When someone opened the bottle of oil
12:37
He found a dead, rotting mouse in it
12:40
He said to himself
12:42
All the oil was in the press in one place
12:47
Impurity is not specific to this slime and no other
12:52
If I return it to the seller with a defect
12:55
Maybe he sold it to people
12:58
Then he spilled it all
13:01
This happened at a time
13:03
He was complaining about a great loss that had befallen him
13:07
So religion rode him
13:09
The oil owner demanded his money
13:12
He could not pay it
13:14
So he submitted his matter to the governor
13:16
So he ordered his imprisonment until he paid what I owed
13:20
When he was in prison
13:22
He stayed there for a long time
13:24
The jailer felt sorry for him when he learned about his religion
13:28
And what he saw of the intensity of his piety and the length of his worship
13:32
He said to him, Sheikh
13:35
If it's night
13:37
So go to your family and spend the night with them
13:40
If you wake up, come back to me
13:42
Continue doing so until you are released
13:46
He said to him, “No, by God, I will not do it.”
13:51
The jailer said
13:53
And when God guided you
13:55
He said to him, “So that I will not help you betray the ruler.”
14:01
When Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, was dying
14:06
He recommended that Muhammad ibn Sirin wash him and pray over him
14:10
He was still imprisoned
14:13
When he died, people came to the governor
14:17
They informed him of the will of the companion of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his servant
14:23
They asked him for permission to release Muhammad ibn Sirin to enforce the will
14:29
So he gave him permission
14:31
Muhammad bin Sirin said to them
14:33
I will not go out until you ask the debtor for permission
14:37
I was imprisoned because of the right he had over me
14:41
The creditor also allowed him
14:43
Then he came out of prison
14:46
So he washed Anas, shrouded him, and prayed over him
14:50
Then he returned to prison as he was
14:53
He did not go to see his family
14:55
The life of Muhammad bin Sirin until he reached seventy-seven
15:01
When certainty came to him
15:03
He found it light to carry the burdens of the world
15:07
Plenty of provision after death
15:10
Hafsa bint Rashid narrated
15:13
She was one of the worshipers, she said
15:16
Marwan Al-Mahli was our neighbor
15:19
He was steadfast in worship and diligent in obedience
15:23
When he died
15:25
We were very sad for him
15:28
I saw him in a dream
15:30
So I said, Abu Abdullah
15:33
What has your Lord done to you?
15:35
He said, “Admit me to Paradise.”
15:38
I said then what?
15:40
Then it was raised to the companions of the right, he said
15:44
I said then what?
15:46
He said then it was raised to those close to him
15:50
I said who did I see there?
15:53
Al-Hasan Al-Basri said
15:56
And Muhammad bin Sirin
16:03
I have never seen a man more knowledgeable in his piety
16:06
I am not keen on jurisprudence
16:08
From Muhammad bin Sirin
16:11
Leafy for the calf
16:29
They left and threw a question in my mind
16:34
Is there a star like them in the sky and its hills?
16:39
They filled their lives with pride
16:44
The world of self-sufficiency became apparent to them
