In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:15
Mawaddah Association is pleased
0:18
To present to you pictures from the lives of the Companions
0:22
By Abd al-Rahman Rafat al-Basha
0:25
May God have mercy on him
0:27
Abdullah bin Masoud, may God be pleased with him
0:45
He was a young boy at that time, not yet a dreamer
0:51
He was wandering around the streets of Mecca, away from people
0:55
He had sheep that he was tending to a Quraysh master
0:59
He is Uqba Ibn Muait
1:01
People used to call him Ibn Umm Abd
1:04
His name is Abdullah
1:06
As for his father’s name, it is Masoud
1:09
The boy was hearing the news of the Prophet who appeared among his people
1:13
On the one hand, he does not care about her because of his young age
1:16
On the other hand, due to his distance from Meccan society
1:20
He has been accustomed to going out with the sheep of Aqaba since the early days
1:24
Then he does not return it until night falls
1:28
One day, the Meccan boy, Abdullah bin Masoud, saw his sight
1:33
Two dignified old men were heading towards him from afar
1:38
It took effort from them whenever it took
1:41
Their thirst became intense until their lips and throats dried up
1:47
When he stopped, they greeted him and said
1:50
O boy, milk some of these sheep for us
1:54
What we close our eyes with
1:57
And the nobility of our veins
1:59
The boy said, “I will not do it.”
2:02
The sheep are not mine and I am their guardian
2:06
The two men did not deny what he said
2:09
Their faces showed satisfaction with him
2:12
Then one of them told him
2:14
Show me a chat that has not had a stallion
2:18
The boy pointed to a small sheep near him
2:23
So the man approached her and freed her
2:26
He started wiping her udder with his hand while mentioning the name of God over her
2:30
The boy looked at him in astonishment and said to himself
2:34
And when were the small sheep that the stallions did not prey on?
2:39
It produces milk
2:41
But Chat's udder soon swelled
2:44
The milk flowed and copious amounts of oil came out of it
2:48
The other man took a hollow stone from the ground
2:52
And fill it with milk
2:54
He and his friend drank from it
2:56
Then he made me drink with them
2:59
I can hardly believe what I see
3:02
When we quenched our thirst
3:04
The blessed man said to the udder of the sheep
3:06
Contract
3:08
It continued to contract until it returned to what it was
3:12
At that
3:14
I said to the blessed man
3:16
Teach me what you said
3:19
He told me that you are a teacher's boy
3:23
This was the beginning of Abdullah bin Masoud's story with Islam
3:28
For he was not the blessed man
3:30
Except the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
3:34
Its owner was none other than Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him
3:38
On that day, he fled to the outskirts of Mecca
3:42
Because the Quraysh exhausted them greatly
3:45
Because of the severity of the calamity that befell them
3:48
Just as the boy loved the Holy Messenger and his companion
3:52
And get attached to them
3:54
The Messenger and his companion were impressed by the boy
3:57
His greatest honesty and firmness
4:00
And they marked the good in it
4:02
Only a little while passed
4:04
Until Abdullah bin Masoud converted to Islam
4:06
He offered himself to the Messenger of God to serve him
4:10
So the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, placed him in his service
4:14
Since that day
4:16
The lucky boy, Abdullah bin Masoud, moved
4:20
From caring for sheep
4:22
To serve the Lord of creation and nations
4:25
Abdullah bin Masoud obliged
4:27
The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
4:30
A delusion sticks to its owner
4:33
He accompanied him on his journey and on his journey
4:36
He accompanies him inside and outside the house
4:39
It would wake him up when he slept
4:42
He covers it when he takes a bath
4:44
He wears his shoes when he wants to go out
4:47
He takes them off his feet when they are about to enter
4:51
He carries his stick and a toothpick for him
4:54
He enters the room in front of him when he returns to his room
4:58
Rather, the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
5:01
He was allowed to enter whenever he wanted
5:05
And be aware of his secret without embarrassment or sin
5:09
Until he was called the keeper of the secret of the Messenger of God
5:13
My Lord Abdullah bin Masoud
5:16
In the house of the Messenger of God
5:18
So be guided by his guidance and be well-mannered by his virtues
5:21
He followed him in every characteristic of him
5:25
It was even said about him that he is the closest person to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, in terms of guidance and character
5:33
Ibn Masoud learned in the school of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
5:39
He was one of the Companions who read the Qur’an
5:42
And make them understand its meanings
5:44
And I teach them about God’s law
5:46
There is no clearer evidence of this than the story of that man
5:50
The one who approached Omar bin Al-Khattab while he was standing in Arafat
5:54
He said to him, O Commander of the Faithful, I have come from Kufa
5:58
It left a man who could memorize the Qur’an by heart
6:03
Omar became extremely angry. He had never been so angry
6:07
It swelled until it almost filled the space between the two branches of the nomad
6:11
He said who is he? Woe to you
6:14
Abdullah Ibn Masoud said
6:17
It kept going off and on until it returned to its original state
6:23
Then he said, “Woe to you, by God, I don’t know that any of the people are left.”
6:29
I have more right to do this than him, and I will tell you about it
6:34
Omar resumed his speech and said:
6:37
He was the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
6:40
One night he stayed with Abu Bakr
6:43
They negotiate the affairs of Muslims
6:46
And I was with them
6:48
Then the Messenger of God came out and we went out with him
6:51
If a man was standing and praying in the mosque, we could not find out
6:56
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, stood and listened to him
7:01
Then he turned to us and said
7:04
Whoever is pleased to read the Qur’an in a pure manner, as it was revealed
7:08
Let him read it according to the reading of Ibn Umm Abd
7:12
Then Abdullah Ibn Masoud sat praying
7:15
So the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, started telling him
7:19
Ask and it will be given to you. Ask and it will be given to you
7:22
Then follow Omar saying
7:24
So I said to myself, by God, I will attack Abdullah Ibn Masoud
7:29
And I will give him good news that the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, has been secure in his supplications
7:35
So I went to him and preached good tidings
7:38
I found Abu Bakr who had preceded me to him and gave him good news
7:42
Nor, by God, did I ever compete with Abu Bakr for anything good
7:46
But he beat me to it
7:48
Abdullah Ibn Masoud had reached a level of knowledge of the Book of God
7:53
He was saying
7:55
And God is the one besides whom there is no god
7:58
No verse was revealed from the Book of God
8:01
Except I know where it landed
8:04
I know what was revealed
8:06
If I know that someone is more knowledgeable about the Book of God than me, I will receive the reward
8:11
I would have come to him
8:13
Abdullah Ibn Masoud was not exaggerating in what he said about himself
8:18
This is Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
8:21
He is riding on one of his journeys
8:24
The night is a camp that covers the knees with its darkness
8:28
In the group was Abdullah Ibn Masoud
8:31
So Omar ordered a man to call them where the people were from
8:36
Abdullah answered him
8:38
From the deep jaw
8:40
Omar said: Where do you want?
8:43
Abdullah said
8:45
The old house
8:47
Omar said
8:49
Indeed, among them is a scholar
8:51
He ordered a man to call them
8:53
Which Qur’an is the greatest?
8:55
Abdullah answered him
8:57
God, there is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the Sublime
9:06
Do not take it for a year or a new year
9:12
Their club said
9:14
Which Qur’an is the wisest?
9:16
Abdullah said
9:18
God commands justice and benevolence
9:23
And bring it near
9:27
He forbids immorality
9:31
And the denier and the mule
9:34
He advises you so that you may remember
9:41
Omar said
9:43
Call them
9:44
That is, the entire Qur’an
9:46
Abdullah said
9:48
Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it
9:53
And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it
10:00
Omar said
10:02
Call them
10:03
Which Qur’an is more fearful?
10:05
Abdullah said
10:07
Not with your wishes or with the wishes of the People of the Book
10:16
Whoever does evil will be rewarded for it
10:22
And he cannot find it without God
10:26
A guardian or a helper
10:30
Omar said
10:31
Call them
10:33
Which Qur’an do I hope for?
10:35
Abdullah said
10:37
Say, O My servants who have enriched themselves
10:41
For themselves, do not despair of God’s mercy
10:49
God forgives all sins
10:55
He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
11:01
Omar said
11:02
Call them
11:03
Is Abdullah bin Masoud the best among you?
11:06
They said
11:07
Oh God, yes
11:09
It was not Abdullah bin Masoud
11:12
A reader, scholar, worshipper, and ascetic
11:15
Just
11:16
But it was nonetheless
11:18
Strong and determined
11:20
A brave warrior
11:22
If the grandfather
11:24
He is considered the first Muslim on earth to recite the Qur’an out loud
11:29
After the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
11:32
One day, the companions of the Messenger of God gathered in Mecca
11:36
They were a vulnerable few
11:39
And they said
11:40
By God, the Quraysh never heard this Qur’an recited aloud to them
11:45
It is a man who listens to them
11:48
Abdullah bin Masoud said
11:50
I hear them
11:53
And they said
11:54
We fear them for you
11:56
We only want a man with a clan
11:59
She protects him and prevents him from them if they want him as a human
12:03
And he said
12:04
Let me
12:05
God will protect me and protect me
12:08
Then he went to the mosque tomorrow until he came to the place of Ibrahim in the morning
12:13
The Quraysh are sitting around the Kaaba
12:16
So he stopped at the shrine and read
12:19
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
12:21
Raising his voice
12:24
Most Gracious
12:28
Science of the Qur’an
12:31
Creation of man
12:37
Teach him the statement
12:40
And he went on reading it
12:43
The Quraysh looked at him and said:
12:46
What did Ibn Umm Abd say?
12:48
Season it
12:50
He recites some of what Muhammad brought
12:53
And they rose to him
12:55
They started hitting his face while he was reading
12:58
Until he reached what God wished for him to reach
13:02
Then he went back to his companions with blood flowing from him
13:06
And they said to him
13:07
This is what we feared for you
13:10
He said, “By God, they were not enemies of God.”
13:13
I'm easier in my eyes than them now
13:16
If you wish, you can return to them with the same tomorrow
13:20
They said no, it's enough for you
13:23
I made them hear what they hate
13:26
Long live Abdullah bin Masoud
13:28
Until the time of the Caliphate of Othman, may God be pleased with him
13:31
When he fell ill, death
13:34
Othman came back to him
13:36
And he said to him
13:37
Don't complain
13:39
He said
13:40
My sins
13:41
He said
13:42
Whatever you desire
13:44
He said
13:45
God's mercy
13:47
He said
13:48
I command you to give me what you have refrained from taking for years
13:53
He said
13:54
I don't need it
13:56
He said
13:57
Your daughters will be after you
14:00
He said
14:01
I fear poverty for my daughters
14:03
I ordered them to recite Surah Al-Waqi’ah every night
14:08
And I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying
14:13
Who reads the incident every night
14:16
He was never destitute
14:18
And when the night came
14:21
Abdullah bin Masoud joined the supreme companion
14:25
His tongue is moist with the remembrance of God
14:28
We declare with His clear signs
14:31
Whoever is pleased to read the Qur’an in a pure manner, as it was revealed
14:37
Let him read it according to the reading of Ibn Umm Abd
14:41
Muhammad is the Messenger of God
