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 Abbas, may God be pleased with them both
0:46
This great companion
0:48
King of glory from his limbs
0:50
He didn't miss anything
0:53
The glory of companionship was gathered for him
0:56
Even if his birth was a little late
0:58
When he was honored in the company of the Messenger of God
1:01
And the glory of kinship
1:03
He is the cousin of the Prophet of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
1:07
And the glory of knowledge
1:09
He is the ink of the nation of Muhammad and the sea of its rich knowledge
1:13
And the glory of meeting
1:15
He was fasting during the day
1:17
Get up at night
1:19
Asking for forgiveness at dawn
1:22
Weeping out of fear of God
1:24
Until tears streaked his cheeks
1:27
He is Abdullah bin Abbas
1:30
He raised the nation of Muhammad
1:32
And teach her the book of God
1:35
And he understood it through his interpretation
1:37
The most capable of influencing him
1:40
And realize his goals and secrets
1:43
Ibn Abbas was born before the Hijra
1:46
In three years
1:48
When the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, died
1:52
He was only thirteen years old
1:55
However
1:57
It was preserved for Muslims from their Prophet
2:00
One thousand six hundred and sixty hadiths
2:03
Al-Bukhari and Muslim confirmed it in their Sahihs
2:08
And when his mother gave birth to him
2:10
I took it to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:14
His palate sparkled
2:16
It was the first thing that entered his stomach
2:18
The pure saliva of the Blessed Prophet
2:21
Piety and wisdom entered with him
2:24
If he is given wisdom, he has been given much good
2:28
As soon as the Hashemi boy took off his amulets
2:32
He entered the age of discrimination
2:34
Until he stayed with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:38
Keeping an eye on her sister
2:40
He used to prepare for him what he performed ablution
2:43
If they are to perform ablution
2:45
He prays behind him if he stands to pray
2:48
He will be his companion if he decides to travel
2:52
Until he became like his shadow, and the crowds walked with him
2:56
It revolves in its orbit no matter how it rotates
3:00
He is in all of it
3:02
He carries within him a conscious heart
3:04
And a clear mind
3:06
And a case without which all the recording machines
3:10
known in the modern era
3:12
He said about himself
3:14
They are the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
3:18
With ablution if you pass it
3:20
How quickly I prepared the water for him
3:23
Explain what you made
3:25
And when they were praying
3:27
He motioned for me to stand beside him
3:29
So I stood behind him
3:31
When the prayer ended, Ali leaned over and said
3:35
What prevented you from being like me, O Abdullah?
3:38
So I said, “You are beautiful in my eyes.”
3:41
I am too precious to comfort you, O Messenger of God
3:45
He raised his hands to the sky and said
3:48
Oh God, give him wisdom
3:51
God answered the call of His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
3:56
Then the Hashemi boy came from wisdom
3:59
What he surpassed the masters of the wise
4:02
There is no doubt that you would like to see an image of the wisdom of Abdullah bin Abbas
4:09
Here is this position
4:11
It has some of what you want
4:13
When some of Ali's companions retired
4:16
They failed him in his dispute with Muawiyah, may God be pleased with them both
4:20
Abdullah bin Abbas said to Ali, may God be pleased with him
4:24
So, O Commander of the Faithful, I may go to the people and speak to them
4:29
And he said
4:30
I fear for you from them
4:33
And he said
4:34
No, God willing
4:36
Then he entered upon them
4:38
He has never seen a people more diligent in worship than them
4:42
And they said
4:43
Welcome, Ibn Abbas
4:45
What brought you?
4:47
And he said
4:48
I came to talk to you
4:50
Some of them said, “Don’t talk to him.”
4:53
Some of them said
4:55
Say we hear from you
4:57
And he said
4:58
Tell me
4:59
Do not take revenge on the cousin of the Messenger of God and his daughter’s husband
5:03
And the first to believe in him
5:05
They said
5:06
We take revenge on him for three things
5:09
He said
5:10
And what is it?
5:11
They said
5:12
The first is that it is the rule of men in God’s religion
5:16
And the second
5:17
He killed Aisha and Muawiyah
5:20
He did not take any spoils or captives
5:23
And the third
5:24
He erased the title of Commander of the Faithful from himself
5:28
Although the Muslims had pledged allegiance to him and commanded him
5:32
And he said
5:33
Did you see that I heard you from the Book of God?
5:36
And I told you of the hadith of the Messenger of God, which you do not deny
5:40
Will you turn back from what you are in?
5:43
They said
5:44
Yes
5:45
He said
5:46
As for what you say?
5:47
It is the rule of men in God's religion
5:50
God Almighty says:
5:53
O you who believe
5:58
Do not kill game while you are in a state of sanctuary
6:03
And whoever of you killed him intentionally
6:09
The reward is equal to the blessings he killed
6:15
It will be judged by people more just than you
6:19
I beseech you, God
6:22
Men are wise in sparing their blood and souls
6:26
And self-righteousness between them is more deserving
6:28
Or their ruling on a rabbit, the price of which is a quarter of a dirham
6:32
And they said
6:33
Rather, it is about shedding the blood of Muslims and reconciling themselves among them
6:38
And he said
6:39
Get us out of this
6:41
They said
6:42
Oh God, yes
6:43
He said
6:44
As for what you say
6:46
Ali fought and was not taken captive as the Messenger of God was captive
6:50
Do you want to curse your mother Aisha?
6:54
And you make it permissible just as you make captive captives permissible
6:57
If you say yes, then you have disbelieved
7:00
And if you say that she is not your mother, you also disbelieve
7:04
God Almighty says:
7:07
The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves and their wives and mothers
7:19
So choose for yourselves whatever you want
7:22
Then he said
7:23
Get us out of this too
7:26
They said
7:27
Oh God, yes
7:28
He said
7:29
As for what you say
7:31
Ali has erased from himself the title of Commander of the Faithful
7:35
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
7:38
When he asked the polytheists on the day of Hudaybiyyah
7:41
To write in the reconciliation he concluded with them
7:44
This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of God, judged
7:48
They said
7:49
If we believe that you are the Messenger of God
7:52
We did not prevent you from the House, nor did we fight you
7:55
But Muhammad bin Abdullah wrote
7:58
So he came down at their request and said:
8:01
By God, I am the Messenger of God, even if you deny me
8:05
Are we out of this?
8:07
And they said
8:08
Oh God, yes
8:10
It was the result of this meeting
8:13
And what Abdullah bin Abbas showed in it
8:16
Of great wisdom and compelling argument
8:19
Twenty thousand of them returned to Ali's ranks
8:23
Four thousand insisted on opposing him
8:26
Stubbornness and turning away from the truth
8:29
The Fatwa Abdullah bin Abbas took the position
8:32
There is every path to knowledge
8:34
Every effort was made to achieve it
8:37
He continued to draw from the source of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
8:42
What life extended
8:44
When the Holy Prophet joined his Lord
8:47
He turned to the remaining scholars of the Companions
8:51
He began to take from them and receive from them
8:54
He said about himself
8:57
When I heard a hadith from a man among the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
9:03
I came to his door during his nap time
9:06
I laid down my pillow at his doorstep
9:09
And the wind will shed as much dust as it will dry
9:13
If I wanted to ask permission from him, he would allow me
9:16
But I was doing it to please myself
9:20
When he leaves his house, he sees me in this state
9:24
The cousin of the Messenger of God did not bring you
9:28
Did you not send it to me and I will come to you?
9:31
So I say, I have the right to come to you
9:35
Knowledge comes and does not come
9:38
Then I ask him about the hadith
9:40
Just as Ibn Abbas used to humiliate himself in seeking knowledge
9:44
He exalted the value of scholars
9:47
Here is Zaid bin Thabit, the writer of the revelation
9:50
He is the head of the people of Medina in judiciary and jurisprudence
9:53
Reading and obligatory prayers
9:55
He is about to ride his animal
9:57
The Hashemite boy, Abdullah bin Abbas, stands in front of him
10:01
The servant's standing in the hands of his master
10:04
He holds his stirrups
10:06
He takes the reins of his animal
10:08
Zaid said to him, Leave the cousin of the Messenger of God alone
10:12
Ibn Abbas said
10:14
This is what we are commanded to do with our scholars
10:18
Zaid said to him, “Show me your hand.”
10:21
So Ibn Abbas put out his hand to him
10:23
So he leaned over and kissed her and said
10:26
This is what we were commanded to do to the people of our Prophet’s household
10:31
Ibn Abbas always sought knowledge
10:34
Until it reached an amount that astonished the stallions
10:38
Masruq Ibn Al-Ajda said about him
10:41
One of the senior followers
10:43
I would if I saw Ibn Abbas
10:45
I said the most beautiful people
10:47
If he spoke, I would say the most eloquent people
10:51
If he spoke, I would say I am the most knowledgeable of people
10:55
Ibn Abbas did not complete the knowledge he aspired to
10:59
Become a teacher who teaches people
11:02
His house became a university for Muslims
11:06
Yes, it has become a university in every sense of the word in our modern era
11:13
And all the differences between Ibn Abbas University and our universities
11:17
It is that of today's universities
11:19
Dozens of professors gather there
11:22
Sometimes hundreds
11:24
As for Ibn Abbas University
11:26
It was built on the shoulders of one professor
11:29
He is the son of Abbas himself
11:32
One of his companions narrated that he said:
11:34
I saw a council from Ibn Abbas
11:37
If only all the Quraysh were proud of him
11:40
She would be proud
11:42
I saw people gathered in the roads leading to his house until they became narrow
11:48
They put it in people's faces
11:51
So I entered and told him that people were gathering at his door
11:55
He said, “Put me ablution.”
11:58
So he performed ablution and sat down
12:00
He said go out and tell them
12:03
Whoever wants to ask about the Qur’an and its letters, let him enter
12:07
So I went out and told them
12:09
So they entered until they filled the house and the room
12:12
They did not ask him about anything but he told them
12:16
He gave them more of what they asked about
12:19
Then he said to them, Make way for your brothers
12:23
So they went out
12:24
Then he told me to go out and tell him
12:27
Whoever wants to ask about the interpretation and interpretation of the Qur’an, let him enter
12:32
So I went out and told them
12:34
So they entered until they filled the house and the room
12:38
They did not ask him about anything but he told them
12:42
He gave them more of what they asked about
12:45
Then he said to them, Make way for your brothers
12:49
So they went out
12:51
Then he told me to go out and tell him
12:54
Whoever wants to ask about what is permissible, what is forbidden, and jurisprudence, let him enter
12:59
So I went out and told them
13:01
So they entered until they filled the house and the room
13:04
They did not ask him about anything but he told them about it and gave them something similar
13:09
Then he said: Make way for your brothers
13:13
So they went out
13:15
Then he told me to go out and tell him
13:18
Whoever wants to ask about the religious duties and the like, let him enter
13:23
So I went out and told them
13:25
They entered until they filled the house and the room
13:28
They did not ask him about anything but he told them about it and gave them something similar
13:33
Then he said to them, Make way for your brothers
13:37
So they went out
13:38
Then he told me to go out and tell him
13:41
Whoever wants to ask about Arabic, poetry, and strange Arab speech, let him enter
13:48
They entered until they filled the house and the room
13:51
They did not ask him about anything but he told them about it and gave them something similar
13:57
The news narrator said
13:59
If all of the Quraysh were proud of that, it would be an honor for them
14:05
As if Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with him
14:08
He decided to distribute knowledge over the days
14:11
So that there would not be such a crowd at his door
14:15
He began to sit one day a week in which he only mentioned interpretation
14:20
And a day when nothing is mentioned except jurisprudence
14:23
And a day when nothing is mentioned except the battles
14:26
A day when only poetry is mentioned
14:29
A day in which only the days of the Arabs are remembered
14:33
No scholar ever sat before him except that he was angry with him
14:37
No questioner ever asked him without finding that he had knowledge
14:42
Thanks to his knowledge and jurisprudence, he became Ibn Abbas
14:46
An advisor to the Rightly Guided Caliphate despite his young age
14:51
So, when a matter was presented to Omar ibn al-Khattab
14:54
Or he faced a dilemma
14:56
He called the great Companions and called Abdullah bin Abbas with them
15:01
If he attends, his status will be raised and his seat will be lowered
15:05
And he said to him, “A matter has been difficult for us, and you and others like it have troubled us.”
15:11
He was once reprimanded for presenting him and placing him with the sheikhs
15:15
He is still a fatwa
15:17
He said that he was a young man
15:20
He has a responsible tongue and a thoughtful heart
15:24
However, when Ibn Abbas turned to the elite to teach them and understand them
15:30
He did not forget the public's rights over him
15:32
He used to hold councils of admonition and reminders for them
15:36
Among his moments is his saying, addressing those who commit sins
15:40
O sinner, you are not safe from the consequences of your sin
15:45
He knew that what follows a sin is greater than the sin itself
15:49
If you are not shy about those on your right and left
15:54
And you are committing a sin no less than a sin
15:58
And if you laugh at the time of sin
16:00
And you do not know what God is doing to you that is greater than sin
16:04
And your joy at the sin if you braid about it is greater than the sin
16:09
Your sadness over the sin you missed is greater than the sin
16:14
Your fear of the wind if you move your cover while you commit a sin
16:19
Although your heart does not ask for God’s view of you greater than sin
16:25
O sinner!
16:27
Do you know what was the sin of Job, peace be upon him?
16:31
When God Almighty tested him with his body and money
16:34
Rather, his fault was that a poor person sought help from him to protect him from injustice
16:40
He did not care about him
16:42
Ibn Abbas was not one of those who say what they do not do
16:46
They stop people but they don't stop
16:49
Rather, fasting during the day was the strength of the night
16:53
Abdullah Ibn Malika told about him, he said
16:56
I accompanied Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with him, from Mecca to Medina
17:01
When we stayed, we would stay at home
17:03
He woke up at night
17:05
People are asleep from extreme fatigue
17:08
One night I saw him reading
17:11
And the agony of death came with the truth. That is what you were deviating from
17:23
He kept repeating it and sobbing until dawn came
17:28
And after all that, it was enough for us
17:31
To know that Abdullah Ibn Abbas
17:33
He was one of the most beautiful people
17:36
And they became a face
17:38
He still cried in the middle of the night out of fear of God
17:42
Until it caused Al-Hatun to tear up
17:45
On his smooth cheeks there are galaxies
17:48
He likened some of them to the pair of sandals
17:51
Ibn Abbas achieved his goal in the glory of knowledge
17:55
This is because the Caliph of the Muslims is Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan
17:59
He left one year later
18:01
Abdullah Ibn Abbas also went out as a pilgrim
18:05
He had no authority or leadership
18:08
Muawiyah had a procession of his statesmen
18:12
It belonged to Abdullah Ibn Abbas
18:14
A procession greater than the Caliph’s procession of students of knowledge
18:19
Ibn Abbas is 71 years old
18:22
He filled the world with knowledge and understanding
18:25
And wisdom and piety
18:27
When certainty came to him
18:29
May the peace and blessings of God be upon him, Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah
18:32
The rest of the companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
18:37
Glory be to the followers
18:40
While they were covering him with dirt
18:43
They heard a reader reading
18:45
O reassured soul
18:52
Return to your Lord, satisfied and satisfactory
18:59
So enter among My servants
19:02
And enter my paradise
19:06
He's an old boy
19:12
He has a responsible tongue
19:15
And the heart of minds
19:17
Omar bin Al Khattam
19:19
He established the constructed edifice
19:24
Oh, the most beautiful hair in the world
19:26
In their pestle are they more
