0:00 Our Mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
0:07 “O ‘A’ishah, he never once said, ‘My Lord, forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.’”
0:18 The Arabs in their pre-Islamic era of ignorance were renowned for their generosity, to the point that they became proverbial for it.
0:25 Generosity and kindness toward others are evidence of a magnanimous soul.
0:30 This is not exclusive to Muslims.
0:33 Rather, it is linked to good character, regardless of the faith a person follows.
0:39 In this blessed month, we may see or hear about certain non-Muslim public figures.
0:46 They provide food and prepare Iftar tables for those fasting.
0:51 Does this benefit them, and how should we handle such news when it spreads among us?
0:59 ‘Abdullah Ibn Jud‘an was a man from the pre-Islamic era.
1:05 He was famous for his generosity and maintaining family ties.
1:08 Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said of him:
1:11 “Ibn Jud‘an was very frequent in providing food.”
1:14 “He even kept a large basin for guests that one had to climb a ladder to reach.”
1:19 He was from the tribe of Banu Tamim Ibn Murrah, the relatives of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
1:25 He was one of the leaders of Quraysh.
1:28 It was in the house of Ibn Jud‘an that Quraysh gathered to establish the Alliance of Virtue (Hilf al-Fudul).
1:34 It was formed to defend the oppressed.
1:36 Regarding this, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:40 “I witnessed the Alliance of the Perfumed (Hilf al-Mutayyibin) with my paternal uncles.”
1:44 “I would not trade my participation in it for a herd of red camels.”
1:48 They were called the “Perfumed” because they placed perfume in a vessel.
1:53 They dipped their hands into it.
1:55 They pledged to support one another and to take the rights of the oppressed from the oppressor.
2:00 They were the tribes of Banu Hashim, Banu Zuhrah, and Taym.
2:04 So, ‘Abdullah Ibn Jud‘an was a generous man who hosted guests.
2:08 He maintained his family ties and defended the oppressed.
2:12 He spent his wealth feeding people and showing them kindness.
2:17 Will this benefit him on the Day of Resurrection?
2:20 This is what ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, wondered about.
2:24 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, answered her.
2:28 In a hadith of profound meaning.
2:31 ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says:
2:34 “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, Ibn Jud‘an...’”
2:38 “‘...in the pre-Islamic era, he used to maintain family ties and feed the poor.’”
2:43 “‘Will that benefit him?’”
2:45 He said, “No, O ‘A’ishah.”
2:48 “He never once said, ‘My Lord, forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.’”
2:54 Narrated by Muslim.
2:56 How beautiful is the Prophetic discourse!
3:00 How magnificent are the elegant Prophetic expressions.
3:03 Which are mindful of the listeners' feelings.
3:06 Let us reflect on how the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, answered.
3:11 The question posed by ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
3:14 It was an educational response.
3:16 Through it, he taught her several matters.
3:19 ‘Abdullah Ibn Jud‘an.
3:21 Was one of the relatives of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
3:24 She was asking about his fate on the Day of Resurrection.
3:28 Despite what was known of his generosity and maintaining of family ties.
3:32 And ‘A’ishah held a great status.
3:35 With the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
3:38 Yet the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, answered her.
3:41 Without favoritism.
3:43 For the rulings of the Sharia are not altered for the sake of those we love.
3:47 Or for the sake of our relatives.
3:49 Or for the sake of celebrities in media or politics.
3:53 “No, O ‘A’ishah.”
3:55 That was the answer.
3:58 His generosity and kindness do not benefit him.
4:01 Nor does his maintaining of family ties on the Day of Resurrection.
4:04 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not limit himself.
4:07 To a brief answer that it would not benefit him.
4:11 Rather, he explained to her the reason for that.
4:14 We notice that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
4:17 Calls her by the name most beloved to her and to her Prophet.
4:22 “O ‘A’ishah.”
4:24 To add gentleness to the answer.
4:27 And to soften it for ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
4:31 Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, taught her.
4:35 The principle regarding this matter.
4:37 He said to her:
4:39 “He never once said...”
4:41 “...‘My Lord, forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.’”
4:45 He did not say to her, “He is a disbeliever.”
4:48 For that word might have been heavy for her to hear.
4:52 But he conveyed the meaning to her using other words.
4:56 Which provide an educational dimension to her life.
5:00 The Day of Judgment.
5:02 Is the Day of Reckoning and Recompense.
5:04 Whoever does not believe in this Day.
5:07 Does not account for it in his deeds.
5:10 He may perform good deeds in this world.
5:13 But he does not hope for their reward in the Hereafter.
5:16 Because he does not believe in the Day of Reckoning.
5:19 This is the state of the disbelievers who perform good deeds.
5:24 The most they attain in this world, and what they hope for.
5:27 Is praise and a good reputation.
5:30 This is the ultimate extent of their goal.
5:32 Because that is what they worked for.
5:34 Allah the Almighty said:
5:36 “Whoso desireth the life of the world and its pomp, We shall repay them their deeds herein, and therein they will not be wronged.” (11:15)
5:42 “Whoso desireth the life of the world and its pomp, We shall repay them their deeds herein, and therein they will not be wronged.” (11:15)
5:48 “Whoso desireth the life of the world and its pomp, We shall repay them their deeds herein, and therein they will not be wronged.” (11:15)
5:51 “Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to do is fruitless.” (11:16)
6:00 “Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to do is fruitless.” (11:16)
6:03 “And vain is that which they were doing.”
6:07 On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
6:11 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
6:15 “Indeed, Allah does not wrong a believer for a good deed.”
6:19 “He is given for it in this world and rewarded for it in the Hereafter.”
6:23 “As for the disbeliever.”
6:25 “He is fed for the good deeds he did for the sake of Allah in this world.”
6:29 “Until, when he reaches the Hereafter.”
6:32 “He has no good deed left to be rewarded for.”
6:35 Narrated by Muslim.
6:37 This is from the justice of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic.
6:40 Toward all people, both Muslim and disbeliever.
6:43 Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
6:46 “The meaning of this hadith.”
6:48 “Is that what he used to do of maintaining ties, feeding, and other noble acts.”
6:53 “Does not benefit him in the Hereafter.”
6:55 “Because he was a disbeliever.”
6:57 “And this is the meaning of his saying, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:”
7:01 “He never once said...”
7:03 “...‘My Lord, forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.’”
7:06 “Meaning he did not believe in the Resurrection.”
7:09 “And whoever does not believe in it is a disbeliever.”
7:12 “And no deed benefits him.”
7:14 Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
7:17 “There is a consensus that the deeds of disbelievers do not benefit them.”
7:23 “They are not rewarded for them with bliss, nor is their punishment lightened.”
7:28 “However, some are punished more severely than others.”
7:31 “According to their crimes.”
7:34 From this, we know that the scale by which we weigh people.
7:38 Is the scale of the Sharia.
7:40 So we are not deceived by the actions of disbelievers.
7:43 And we do not prefer them over Muslims in any way, shape, or form.
7:49 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, taught ‘A’ishah through this answer.
7:54 The importance of a person making this supplication.
7:58 “My Lord, forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.”
8:02 For it is the request of the Prophets.
8:04 So how much more so for others?
8:06 Allah the Almighty said regarding Ibrahim, peace be upon him:
8:09 “And Who, I ardently hope, will forgive me my sin on the Day of Judgment.” (26:82)
8:20 And all the children of Adam are prone to sin.
8:23 So they are all in need of this supplication.
8:26 We ask Allah the Almighty to forgive us our sins on the Day of Judgment.
8:32 We will continue in a future meeting, if Allah wills.
8:36 And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
8:39 Our Mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
