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
Rabia bin Kaab
0:30
May God be pleased with him
0:45
Rabia bin Kaab said
0:48
I was tempted by my young age when my soul was illuminated by the light of faith
0:53
My heart was filled with the meanings of Islam
0:56
My eyes did not turn kohl when I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, for the first time
1:02
I loved him with a love that overwhelmed every part of me
1:07
I fell in love with him and cursed him for distracting me from everything else
1:11
So I said to myself one day
1:14
Woe to you, Rabia
1:16
Why don't you devote yourself to serving the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:21
Introduce yourself to him
1:23
If he is satisfied with you, you will be happy with his closeness and win his love
1:28
And I enjoyed the goodness of this world and the hereafter
1:31
Then I quickly presented myself to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:36
I begged him to accept me into his service
1:39
My hope was not disappointed
1:41
He was satisfied with me to be his servant
1:44
I have been since that day
1:46
Obligated to the Holy Prophet from his shadow
1:49
I walk with him wherever he goes
1:52
I revolve in his orbit no matter how he rotates
1:55
He did not even throw his side at me once
1:58
Except I appeared standing in his hands
2:01
And you don't see any of his needs
2:04
But he found me rushing to fulfill it
2:07
I served him all day
2:10
When the day passes
2:12
The last supper arrived and he went home
2:16
It is more important to leave
2:18
But I can't wait to say to myself
2:22
Where are you going, Rabia?
2:25
Perhaps it would be exposed to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:29
needed at night
2:31
So I sit at his door
2:33
I do not turn away from his doorstep
2:36
He was the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:39
He spends his night standing and praying
2:42
Perhaps you heard him reciting the opening of the book
2:45
He keeps repeating it for hours of the night
2:49
Until I hope so I leave it
2:51
Or my eyes overwhelm me and I fall asleep
2:54
And you might have heard him say
2:56
God hears those who praise Him
2:59
He continues to repeat it for a longer period of time than he repeats the opening of the book
3:05
It was a habit of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
3:09
No one did him any favors
3:12
But he would like to reward him with something more honorable than him
3:17
He wanted to reward me for my service to him
3:20
One day he came to me and said
3:23
O Rabia Ibn Ka'b
3:25
So I said, “I beg your pardon, O Messenger of God, and may I be pleased with you.”
3:29
He said: Ask me something and I will give it to you
3:33
I fried a little and then said
3:36
Give me time, O Messenger of God, to consider what I ask of you
3:40
Then I will let you know
3:42
He said there is no problem with you
3:45
I was a poor young man at that time
3:48
I have no family, no money, and no housing
3:51
But I used to resort to the type of mosque
3:54
With poor Muslims like me
3:57
People used to call us guests of Islam
4:00
If one of the Muslims comes
4:03
In charity to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
4:07
He sent them all to us
4:09
If someone gives him a gift
4:12
He took some of it and made the rest of it ours
4:16
So my soul told me to ask the Messenger of God
4:19
Something of the good of the world
4:21
I am enriched by him out of poverty
4:23
Others made you have money, a husband, and a child
4:27
But I soon said
4:29
Damn you, Rabia bin Kaab
4:32
The world is fleeting and fleeting
4:35
Indeed, you have sustenance in it, which God Almighty will guarantee
4:39
It must come to you
4:41
And the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
4:44
In status with his Lord
4:46
He does not receive a request from him
4:49
So ask him to ask God for your blessings in the afterlife
4:52
I was happy for that
4:55
And she comforted him
4:57
Then I came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
5:00
He said, “What do you say, Rabia?”
5:03
So I said, O Messenger of God
5:06
I ask you to pray for me, God Almighty
5:09
To make me your companion in heaven
5:12
He said: Who advised you to do that?
5:15
I said no, by God
5:18
What no one recommended to me
5:20
But when you told me
5:22
Ask me and I will give you
5:24
I told myself to ask you
5:26
Something of the good of the world
5:28
Then it was not long before I was guided to
5:30
Preferring what remains over what is fleeting
5:33
So I asked you to pray to God for me
5:35
To be your companion in heaven
5:38
The Messenger of God was silent for a long time
5:40
Then he said
5:41
Or otherwise, Rabia
5:43
I said: No, O Messenger of God
5:46
I am not fair in what I asked of you
5:49
And he said
5:50
So I mean on yourself
5:53
A lot of prostration
5:55
So I began to practice worship
5:57
To enjoy the company of the Messenger of God
5:59
May God bless him and grant him peace
6:01
In heaven
6:02
I also had the privilege of serving him
6:04
And his company in this world
6:06
Then he did not proceed with that
6:09
Long time
6:11
Until the Messenger of God called me
6:13
May God bless him and grant him peace
6:15
And he said
6:16
Don't you get married, Rabia?
6:18
So I said
6:19
I don't like to be distracted by anything
6:21
About your service, O Messenger of God
6:24
Then I have nothing to give my wife
6:27
Nor what I can live by
6:30
So he remained silent
6:31
Then he saw me again
6:33
And he said
6:34
Don't you get married, Rabia?
6:36
I answered him as I told him
6:38
Last time
6:40
But I did not withdraw into myself
6:43
Until I regretted what happened to me
6:46
And I said
6:47
Woe to you, Rabia
6:49
I swear to God that the Prophet
6:51
Let me know what works for you
6:53
In your religion and your world
6:55
And I know what you have
6:57
I swear because he called me
6:59
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
7:01
After this time
7:03
To marriage
7:04
I will answer him
7:05
It didn't last long
7:07
Long time until he told me
7:09
The Messenger
7:10
Don't you get married, Rabia?
7:13
I said, “Yes, O Messenger of God.”
7:16
But who will marry me when you know me?
7:19
And he said
7:20
Go to so-and-so's family
7:22
And tell them
7:23
The Messenger of God commands you
7:25
If your girl, so-and-so, marries me
7:28
So I came to them timidly
7:30
And I told them
7:31
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
7:34
He sent me to you
7:36
Let your girl, so-and-so, marry me
7:39
They said so-and-so
7:41
So I said yes
7:42
They said, Welcome to the Messenger of God
7:45
Welcome to the Messenger of God
7:48
By God, the messenger of the Messenger of God will not return
7:51
Unless he needs it
7:53
They held me down
7:55
So I came to the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
7:58
And I said, O Messenger of God
8:00
I come from the best home
8:03
Believe me and welcome me
8:06
They held me to their daughter
8:08
Where do I get the dowry from?
8:11
So the Messenger summoned Buraydah Ibn Al-Khasib
8:14
He was one of the leaders of my people, Banu Aslam
8:17
And he told him
8:19
Oh Buraida
8:20
Collect the weight of gold for Rabia
8:23
So they collected it for me
8:25
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me
8:29
Take this to them
8:31
And tell them this is your daughter's dowry
8:34
So I came to them and gave it to them
8:37
They accepted him and satisfied him
8:39
They said very well
8:42
So I came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
8:45
And I said
8:46
I have never seen a people more generous than them
8:49
They were satisfied with what I gave them, even though it was little
8:52
They said very well
8:55
From where do I know what I know, O Messenger of God?
8:59
The Messenger said to Buraydah
9:01
Collect for Rabia the price of a ram
9:04
So they bought me a great, fat ram
9:07
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me
9:10
Go to Aisha
9:12
Tell her to give you her barley
9:16
So I went to her and she said to you, Al-Muktal
9:19
It contains seven pearls of barley
9:22
No, by God, we have no other food
9:25
So I went with the ram and barley to my wife’s family
9:29
They said, “As for barley, we prepare it.”
9:32
As for the ram, order your companions to prepare it for you
9:36
So I took the ram
9:38
So I and some people from Aslam took the ram
9:41
So we slaughtered it, skinned it, and cooked it
9:44
We had bread and meat
9:47
So I prayed and called the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
9:51
He answered my call
9:53
Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
9:57
He gave me land next to Abu Bakr's land
10:00
So I entered the world
10:03
Even if I disagreed with Abu Bakr over a palm tree
10:06
I said, “It is on my land.”
10:09
He said, “Rather, it is in my land.”
10:12
So I argued with him and he made me say something I hated
10:16
When the word came out of him, he regretted it and said
10:20
O Rabia, answer me the same
10:23
So that would be retaliation
10:26
I said, “No, by God, I will not do it.”
10:29
He said: If the Messenger of God comes
10:32
I complain to him about your refusal to take revenge on me
10:35
And he went to the Prophet
10:38
So I followed him
10:40
So my people bin Aslam followed me
10:43
They said he was the one who started with you and insulted you
10:46
Then he will precede you to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
10:49
Fishhook
10:52
So I turned to them and said, “Waahukm.”
10:55
Do you know who this friend is?
10:58
And the gray haired Muslims
11:01
Go back before he turns around and sees you
11:04
He thinks that you have come to help me with it
11:07
He gets angry and the Messenger of God comes
11:10
The Prophet becomes angry because of his anger
11:13
God becomes angry because of their anger and Rabia is destroyed
11:16
So they returned
11:19
Then Abu Bakr came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
11:22
The conversation happened to him as it was
11:25
The Messenger raised his head to me and said
11:28
Oh Rabia, what's wrong with you and your friend?
11:31
So I said, O Messenger of God
11:34
He wanted me to tell him as he told me
11:37
I did not and he said yes
11:40
Don't tell him what he told you
11:43
But say: May God forgive Abu Bakr
11:46
I told him, may God forgive you
11:50
Oh Abu Bakr
11:53
His eyes were overflowing with tears
11:57
May God reward you well on my behalf, Rabia bin Kaab
12:00
May God reward you well on my behalf, Rabia bin Kaab
