Divine protection.
0:12
No matter how much the conspirators plot against you or the ambushers gather against you, nothing will befall you except what Allah has decreed.
0:22
For this reason, the certainty of the prophets and the righteous was the greatest certainty, and their reliance upon Allah was the most sincere.
0:29
We learn from them the excellence of certainty and reliance upon the One, the Unique.
0:35
They are not terrified by an enemy, nor are they intimidated by an adversary.

Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
0:44
We went on a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, toward Najd.
0:50
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, caught up with us in a valley filled with thorny trees.
0:56
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, dismounted under a tree.
1:02
He hung his sword on one of its branches.
1:06
He said: The people dispersed throughout the valley, seeking shade under the trees.
1:13
He said: Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
1:18
A man came to me while I was sleeping.
1:22
He took the sword, and I woke up while he was standing over me.
1:28
I was suddenly aware of the sword being unsheathed in his hand.
1:33
He said to me: "Who will protect you from me?"
1:37
I said: "Allah."
1:40
Then he said a second time: "Who will protect you from me?"
1:45
I said: "Allah."
1:47
He said: So he sheathed the sword, and there he is, sitting.
1:53
Yet the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, did not punish him.
1:59
How many Arab tribes had the ambition to kill the Messenger of Allah,
2:05
he who brought the true religion, and they plotted against him with schemes.
2:10
But Allah thwarted them and turned their schemes back against them.
2:15
Their plotting became scattered dust.
2:19
Allah the Exalted says: ﴾And Allah will protect you from the people.﴿
2:24
The Bedouin had the opportunity here, and he brandished the sword; it was his chance.
2:30
But Allah subdued him, repelled his malice and his violence, and Allah is the best of protectors.
2:38
For life and death belong to Allah alone.
2:41
No human possesses them, and no created being can limit them.
2:46
Nor can any army or oppressive force decree them.
2:50
Why, then, should there be fear, when whoever relies upon Allah, He is sufficient for him?
2:56
Whoever seeks His help, He grants him victory, and whoever seeks His aid, He assists him.
3:01
Nothing occurs in His realms except what He, Glory be to Him and Exalted is He, wills.
3:08
He is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
3:11
And Allah knows best.
