**[0:00]** I want you to imagine you're in Madinah right now in the time of the Prophet ﷺ. You live in the era of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

**[0:19]** And you're sitting and he's giving khutbah on the minbar. So put yourself visually for a moment with me. In the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ and Rasulullah ﷺ is giving the khutbah.

**[0:35]** What an amazing moment to be in. And whatever he is saying is absolutely captivating ﷺ. Everything about him from his appearance to his voice commands your full attention. And then as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is standing on the minbar,

**[0:54]** this three-year-old cute baby starts running towards the minbar. And you notice that he's longing for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is longing for him.

**[1:10]** And as he's walking up to the Prophet ﷺ in a little red thawb, I'm wearing a red thawb and it wasn't on purpose by the way. As he's walking up to the Prophet ﷺ and putting his hands out to him ﷺ to pick him up,

**[1:26]** because he's so tiny, he trips over his thawb and he hits the ground. And his head smacks into the ground and he starts to cry loudly. And the Prophet ﷺ can't handle himself. He gets down from the minbar ﷺ.

**[1:44]** He picks him up and he comforts him and he carries him. And he seeks forgiveness from the congregation because the Prophet ﷺ's heart could not bear to see this beautiful little boy of his crying in that way. And then the Prophet ﷺ holds him up.

**[2:01]** And he says, إِنَّ ابْنِي هَٰذَا سَيِّدٌ This son of mine is a master. This son of mine is a leader. And it might be that Allah ﷻ will bring together through him فِئَتَيْنِ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

**[2:19]** Two large groups of Muslims will be reconciled through this son of mine who is a leader. He's destined for greatness. The young man that we're talking about is the grandson of Rasulullah ﷺ.

**[2:35]** Our master al-Hasan ibn Ali رضي الله عنه. The joy and the coolness of the eye of the Prophet ﷺ. And we go back to the moment that he was born. And even the moment that he was born conveys a certain level of excitement from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

**[2:55]** that is so beautiful and so contextualizing. If you're in Madinah and you passed Badr, and the Prophet ﷺ is establishing that beautiful community of Madinah, and Allah ﷻ is showing the Prophet ﷺ

**[3:13]** إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا That verily with every hardship comes ease. And you're with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Allah just granted you a victory. But the Prophet ﷺ did not attain this victory except after much suffering.

**[3:30]** And there was so much more that was still around the corner. He lost his wife Khadijah رضي الله عنها. He lost Abu Talib. He is in al-Madinah and he's in the masjid. And suddenly as the Prophet ﷺ is sitting with his companions,

**[3:45]** and it's the third year after Hijrah, some of the scholars say it was Sha'ban, some of them say it was Ramadan. The people come to the Prophet ﷺ in the middle of his sitting with the companions, and they say, Glad tidings, O Messenger of Allah!

**[4:00]** فَاطِمَةُ أَنْجَبَتْ وَلَدًا. Fatimah رضي الله عنها gave birth to a boy. The Prophet ﷺ could not hold himself. His face lights up. He rushes out of the masjid with excitement to go to the house of Fatimah رضي الله عنها.

**[4:16]** And the Sahabah that are with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they get up and they rush with him ﷺ. Though they will have to wait from outside of the home because they want to be there with the Prophet ﷺ for every moment of his joy ﷺ that they possibly can.

**[4:35]** And he walks into the house of Fatimah رضي الله عنها. Pause here for a moment, and let's talk about what the significance of this child is to the Prophet ﷺ. Fatimah رضي الله عنها is the most beloved of the children of the Prophet ﷺ to him,

**[4:55]** with consensus. She is the queen of the women of Jannah. She is a copy of the Prophet ﷺ. As Aisha رضي الله عنها says, I've never seen anyone who looks more like the Prophet ﷺ

**[5:10]** and who is more similar to the Prophet ﷺ in her demeanor, in her posture, in the way that she carried herself than Fatimah رضي الله عنها. Though she was the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, she was his copy.

**[5:25]** And the Prophet ﷺ adored her. And everyone knew that the way to the heart of the Prophet ﷺ was Fatimah رضي الله عنها. Even the wives of the Prophet ﷺ knew that the way to the heart of the Prophet ﷺ is his daughter Fatimah رضي الله عنها.

**[5:40]** When she walks into a room, he stands up for her ﷺ. He kisses her forehead, and he sits her down in the place that he was sitting ﷺ. And when he walks into a room, she stands up for him ﷺ.

**[5:55]** She kisses him on the forehead, and she sits him down where she was sitting ﷺ. They had an incredible relationship. And this is the daughter who is giving birth. Imagine how excited he is ﷺ. It's from her that this child is being born.

**[6:12]** And recall how much he loves Ali رضي الله عنه, the young man who stood with him ﷺ. When no one did, when he raised, or when the Prophet ﷺ raised him in his own home, and Ali رضي الله عنه rose to the occasion at Safa,

**[6:29]** when he stood up ﷺ and called the people to Islam, and said, who will stand with me? And Ali رضي الله عنه is the one who stands up and says, Ya Rasulullah, I will stand with you. And he was only 8 years old that day. I'm with you, Ya Rasulullah.

**[6:44]** I'm with you, Ya Rasulullah. The mother of Ali رضي الله عنه is another Fatimah, Fatimah bint Asad رضي الله عنها, like a mother to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ adores her.

**[6:59]** And we know how the Prophet ﷺ honored her in life and in death. The father of Ali رضي الله عنه was Abu Talib, who was like a father to the Prophet ﷺ, who protected the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Prophet ﷺ was most vulnerable.

**[7:16]** And this is a piece of Khadijah رضي الله عنها, as this is the daughter of the beloved Khadijah رضي الله عنها giving birth. This is his first son, Ali رضي الله عنه, in that sense that's born after Islam.

**[7:31]** And I'll clarify exactly what I mean when I say son, because the Prophet ﷺ called him his son, Ali رضي الله عنه, ابْنِي, my son. Ibrahim, his son that would be born in Islam years later,

**[7:46]** would be born about a year and a half before he would pass away ﷺ. But this of his lineage, of his progeny, is very special. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has lost all of his own boys, Ali رضي الله عنه.

**[8:02]** His sons died in infancy, ﷺ. So we go back to the masjid, you run with the Prophet ﷺ to the door of Fatimah رضي الله عنها. It's not far away, it's right next to the room of the Prophet ﷺ today,

**[8:17]** the chamber of the Prophet ﷺ today. And the Prophet ﷺ enters in and he says, أَعْطُونِي ابْنِي, give me my son. Give me my son. Those are the first words that he says when he enters into the house.

**[8:33]** أَعْطُونِي ابْنِي. So they bring al-Hasan, who was just brought into the earth just a few moments before. And they hand him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ holds him tight and he says,

**[8:49]** مَا ذَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ? What did you name him? And Ali رضي الله عنه says, سَمَّيْنَاهُ حَرْبًا. We named him War. And the Prophet ﷺ looks at Ali رضي الله عنه like,

**[9:04]** Really? War? Harb? Is what you named him? وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ رضي الله عنه رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ أَسْمَاءَ الشِّدَّةِ. This is narrated about him. Ali wanted like those hard names, right? I want to name my son War. So the Prophet ﷺ said, بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ. He changed his name on the spot.

**[9:21]** He said rather he is Hasan, which means excellence, goodness. And a very special type of goodness. And of course, Ali رضي الله عنه would try this again. When Husayn رضي الله عنه was born,

**[9:37]** the Prophet ﷺ would come and say, What did you name him? He said, I named him Harb. And the Prophet ﷺ would say, No, you named him Husayn. Which is the little Hasan. SubhanAllah, increasing on that. There is a third boy too, by the way, who dies in infancy. Muhsin.

**[9:53]** Ali tried to name him, رضي الله عنه, Harb as well. And it wasn't working for him. But Ali رضي الله عنه really wanted that strength to be exhibited. But there is a different type of strength that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw in the future of these beautiful children.

**[10:09]** And these children, Muhsin, died, of course, as we said, in the very beginning of his life. So you have al-Hasan, al-Husayn. May Allah be pleased with them. In one narration, he thought to name them Hamzah and Ja'far. Hamzah al-Hasan, Ja'far al-Husayn.

**[10:25]** And subhanAllah, there is even something beautiful about that. That Hamzah, رضي الله عنه, is Asadullah. The Lion of Allah. And Ali, رضي الله تعالى عنه, is Asadullah. He is the Lion of Allah. And Ja'far, رضي الله تعالى عنه, would go down in history

**[10:40]** as being a mark of sacrifice, a brutal sacrifice. Being left without his body parts, and the Prophet ﷺ mentioning that Ja'far, رضي الله تعالى عنه, flies in Jannah, in the place that his two arms are gone.

**[10:56]** And Husayn, رضي الله تعالى عنه, would be noted in our Islamic history for a brutal martyrdom as well, a shahadah as well, that severed his head from his body. Husayn, رضي الله تعالى عنه. So, there is something profound about this.

**[11:11]** But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named him Hasan, and we will talk about al-Husayn, رضي الله تعالى عنه, next week. And Imam al-Nawawi, rahimahullah, he actually narrates that no one was named Hasan and Husayn before these two.

**[11:27]** You had Hassan, and you had Husayn, with a sad. Does anyone know who was named Husayn? I'm not sure if I remember their firsts properly. Husayn, with a sad. Who was named Husayn?

**[11:42]** Husayn was the actual name of Abdullah ibn Salam, the chief rabbi of Madinah, رضي الله تعالى عنه, before he embraced Islam. His name was Husayn, with a sad, ibn Salam, and the Prophet ﷺ called him Abdullah ibn Salam,

**[11:57]** رضي الله تعالى عنه. So, Husayn, with the seen, and Imam al-Nawawi, rahimahullah, narrates that some of the scholars say that these were the first two that were named these two names, it was reserved for them, and they were named by Allah and the Messenger ﷺ,

**[12:12]** in that regard. So he grabs his grandson, ابْنِي, my son, al-Hasan, and subhanAllah, you find that everything that you could think about with the birth rituals, you start to learn from how the Prophet ﷺ

**[12:27]** dealt with al-Hasan, because it was such an observed birth, it was such an exciting turning point. So the Prophet ﷺ immediately brings him close to him, and he starts to call into his right ear, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.

**[12:42]** I'm just like thinking to myself, imagine a baby coming into this world, and the first thing they hear is the adhan from the Prophet ﷺ in their right ear. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ, أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ, أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ, أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ,

**[12:57]** until the end, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calls the adhan in his ear. The Prophet ﷺ performs the sacrifice on his behalf, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ takes the date, and he does the tahnik, which is to rub the date on your mouth,

**[13:13]** and then to rub it into the mouth of the infant, and so the saliva of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will mix with the saliva of his son, and he says, اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِيهِ، وَاجْعَلْهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ. O Allah, put blessing in him, and make him from the righteous.

**[13:29]** اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِيهِ، وَاجْعَلْهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ. SubhanAllah, what a momentous occasion, and what a way to come into this world, with that much love and longing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has for you, and that love and that longing,

**[13:46]** you know, it's one thing when you look at the child for the first time that way, but the sparkle in the eye of the Prophet ﷺ for al-Hasan رضي الله عنه never goes away until the moment of his death. It is an incredible love that captivates the Prophet ﷺ,

**[14:04]** and even confounds the companions because they weren't used to this. Now you think of a loving grandpa, this is your exposure to Rasulullah ﷺ, jaddu, the grandpa. Think about rahmatan lil-'alamin, the mercy to the world, who's a grandpa.

**[14:23]** Now we know grandparents tend to be more lenient on their grandchildren than they are with their children. Alright, I already got in trouble with my father one time, you know, talking about some of that, but you know, mashAllah, the way our fathers raised us with a little bit of strength, and then with their grandkids it's like, no, let it go, let it go, let it go, right?

**[14:41]** The grandparent already has more rahmah and love. By the way, I have a loving father, alhamdulillah. The grandparents have more love and more leniency with their grandchildren, it's just natural. They naturally let so much more go, right? Think about Rasulullah ﷺ as a grandfather,

**[14:59]** like how much more rahmah is going to expand from the heart of the Prophet ﷺ as a grandfather, right? And we know how he treated his own children ﷺ. And so Ali رضي الله عنه was commanded to take

**[15:15]** the hair, when they shaved the hair of al-Hasan, and to donate the weight of it in silver to the poor. And so that sets the rituals of the birth and we take it all, actually you can take it just from the narration surrounding al-Hasan, رضي الله تعالى عنه, the way

**[15:30]** that the hukm on the adhan, the 'aqiqah, the tahnik, and the sadaqah that's done as a result, all of that, as well as the circumcision, we also have that from the life of al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه, with the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ always would pick this

**[15:46]** boy up and kiss him and show him love, and if you're looking at the Prophet ﷺ, it's as if he's captured by that. And there are too many narrations, they're actually overwhelming to go through with the Prophet ﷺ and al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه. The first one is

**[16:03]** the one from al-Aqra' ibn Habis, who saw the Prophet ﷺ and al-Hasan ran to him and the Prophet ﷺ picked him up and he started to kiss him ﷺ, and al-Aqra' said, I have ten of them and I've never kissed any of them. I've got ten kids and I've never kissed any

**[16:20]** of them. It's kind of like, not what we're used to seeing, right? I mean at the end of the day, these are Arabs, many of them are harsh Bedouins, they don't get this. What is this love that you're showing, this mercy that you're showing to your grandson? And

**[16:35]** the Prophet ﷺ, he responded and he said, مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمْ لَا يُرْحَمْ, that whoever does not show mercy will not have mercy shown to them. In another authentic narration, it's very vivid, the Prophet ﷺ would pin al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه down and he would

**[16:51]** kiss his navel ﷺ, so he'd kiss his stomach. So you can imagine a grandpa playing with the stomach of the child, right? And you can imagine walking into Masjid Rasulullah ﷺ and seeing the Prophet ﷺ pinning al-Hasan down and tickling him and kissing his stomach

**[17:08]** and al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه laughing and feeling the full love of his grandfather. In another narration from Jabir رضي الله تعالى عنه, I love this, he said, دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and he was

**[17:26]** walking on all fours, right? SubhanAllah, kids don't change. He said, وَعَلَى ظَهْرِهِ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ and on his back were al-Hasan and al-Husayn. So the Prophet ﷺ was letting them ride on his back and he was on all fours ﷺ. فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْجَمَلُ

**[17:46]** جَمَلُكُمَا وَنِعْمَ الْعِدْلَانِ أَنْتُمَا. What a great camel you have and what excellent riders you are. What an amazing camel you have to ride and what excellent riders you are. Imagine, subhanAllah, that's our Messenger of Allah ﷺ. And you start to read in the

**[18:03]** subtleties of the text. What example is he setting for the ummah when they're seeing this from the Prophet ﷺ, when they're seeing this much love being channeled towards this beautiful baby of his ﷺ. Abu Hurayrah رضي الله تعالى عنه mentions that when the Prophet

**[18:20]** ﷺ would sit down and the implication is that the Prophet ﷺ is judging on serious affairs like there's a lot to cover here. Like it's one thing when you act this way in good times, it's another thing when you always act this way. And the Prophet ﷺ had

**[18:37]** the hamm of the ummah. He had the whole concern of the ummah on his mind and heart constantly. But he's sitting down and the Prophet ﷺ when he would sit down, he would immediately go where is luka'a? أَيْنَ لُكَعَ؟ Luka'a is like the naughty little kid. Where's he at?

**[18:54]** Bring me my luka'a. Bring me my luka'a. And they knew right away that he was talking about al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه and so they would let al-Hasan loose towards him. Fatimah رضي الله تعالى عنها would just let him loose to go run towards him ﷺ and the Prophet

**[19:09]** ﷺ would pick him up and the Prophet ﷺ would hold him and he would hold him tight and he would say that he is رَيْحَانَتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا. He's like my sweet basil in this world. Like you know when you pick up a kid and you go, not the diaper, alright? Everything else.

**[19:29]** Just pick them up, you kiss them and you take in that smell when you're holding them tight. SubhanAllah, imagine the Prophet ﷺ holding his kid tight and he says he's like my sweet basil in this world. And he said that ﷺ about al-Hasan and al-Husayn, may Allah be

**[19:47]** pleased with them both, but al-Hasan being the first one, he got more of those years with the Prophet ﷺ alone. And I'm holding myself just reading these narrations by the way. And Abu Hurayrah رضي الله تعالى عنه said, he narrates the hadith, he says, وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَايَ. He said that I never saw al-Hasan

**[20:07]** after that except my eyes would just start tearing up. Like just remembering how the Prophet ﷺ felt about him and how the Prophet ﷺ would grab him and the joy he brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. And while he's saying that I never saw al-Hasan and my eyes did not tear up, he started to tear up رضي الله تعالى عنه as he was narrating that. Like

**[20:27]** that special feeling that he had because they saw the glow in the eyes of the Prophet ﷺ towards al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه. The Prophet ﷺ says in an authentic hadith, أَحِبُّوا اللَّهَ لِمَا يَغْذُوكُمْ مِنْ نِعَمٍ. Love Allah for the blessings that he provides to

**[20:46]** you. وَأَحِبُّونِي لِحُبِّ اللَّهِ. And love me for the love of Allah. وَأَحِبُّوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِي and love my family for my love for them. So loving them is 'ibadah. Loving the family of the Prophet ﷺ is an act of worship. It's an act of qurb. It's an act of closeness to Allah and

**[21:02]** his Messenger ﷺ. It's a way of coming into the du'a of the Prophet ﷺ, the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that he would pick up al-Hasan and he said, اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فَأَحِبَّهُ. Oh Allah I love him. So love him. وَأَحِبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّهُ. And love whoever loves him.

**[21:23]** We find this with al-Hasan and al-Husayn, the Prophet ﷺ saying, I love, oh Allah, I love both of them. So love whoever loves them. And we find this with Usamah ibn Zayd whose father was of course the habib Rasulullah ﷺ, the beloved one of the Prophet ﷺ who

**[21:41]** the Prophet ﷺ took in like a son. And Usamah ibn Zayd says that, you know, I remember the Prophet ﷺ would sit me and al-Hasan on his lap and he would hold us tight and he would say, اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُمَا. Oh Allah, I love them both. So love whoever loves them

**[22:00]** both. Right? So it's the way of the Prophet ﷺ. Anas ibn Malik was asked about which of the family of the Prophet ﷺ were dearest to him. And he said, al-Hasan and al-Husayn

**[22:18]** and he says that the Prophet ﷺ, he used to smell them ﷺ and he used to hold them very tight towards him ﷺ. And he would say, oh Allah, I love them. So love them.

**[22:35]** And in some narrations, love whoever loves them. The last narration is Yahya ibn Murrah. He said that the Prophet ﷺ, when he would see al-Hasan and al-Husayn, when they came to him, that the Prophet ﷺ would grab them and he would put them like right under his

**[22:51]** armpit ﷺ. Right? Holding them tight and he would kiss one and then he would kiss the other and he would say, هَٰذَانِ ابْنَايَ, these are my two sons, مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمَا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي, whoever loves them loves me. And of course the most awkward of this is in salah.

**[23:10]** The narrations in salah are many. Abdullah ibn Zubayr رضي الله عنهما, he narrates about al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه and realize it's very interesting, right? Al-Hasan for some time is the only one. He's the only one. He's the little kid that follows the Prophet ﷺ out the door, that chases the Prophet ﷺ everywhere and that attacks him

**[23:29]** in salah. And it's clear that he used to particularly like to be on the Prophet ﷺ when he was praying. And he says that I saw the Prophet ﷺ and I saw al-Hasan, يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ,

**[23:44]** he would come to the Prophet ﷺ, وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ، يَرْكَبُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ, he would, as soon as the Prophet ﷺ went in sujud, it was al-Hasan's habit, jump on his back. So al-Hasan would ride on his back when he would go into sujud, وَيَأْتِي وَهُوَ رَاكِعٌ, and he would come to the Prophet ﷺ when he was in ruku' فَيُفَرِّجُ لَهُ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ

**[24:06]** مِنَ الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ. And so he would basically part the legs of the Prophet ﷺ and he'd go running around in circles between the legs of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ was fine. Did not push him away, did not say I'm trying to pray here, did not like

**[24:23]** stop his prayer and go يَا فَاطِمَةُ, like none of that. He kept him ﷺ. One of the incidents in fact, the Prophet ﷺ was leading salah and I want you to imagine you're in the masjid

**[24:38]** and you're praying 'asr in jama'ah and the Prophet ﷺ went into sujud and he didn't get up for a long time to the point that the companions got concerned, they thought that maybe he died ﷺ. Because he just went into sujud and he didn't get up and they weren't hearing him say Allahu Akbar. And so they came to the Prophet ﷺ, this is hadith Abdullah

**[24:58]** ibn Buraydah رضي الله تعالى عنهما, he says that they came to the Prophet ﷺ, sorry this is not hadith Abdullah ibn Buraydah. They came to the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ said were you concerned? And they said yes. They said مَا الَّذِي أَصَابَكَ, what happened

**[25:15]** to you? The Prophet ﷺ said what did you think happened? They said that we thought that maybe Jibril ﷺ نَزَلَ عَلَيْكَ, maybe Jibril ﷺ came down upon you, or أَصَابَكَ شَيْءٌ, or something bad happened to you. Right? One of the two things must have happened,

**[25:32]** either Jibril came to you or you died. And the Prophet ﷺ said it's neither of those things. He said that while I was praying al-Hasan and al-Husayn started to jump on my back and then they were settled on my back in sujud and I didn't want to hurt them or make them

**[25:48]** fall by getting up. So he just waited for them ﷺ patiently while he finished his salah to the point that the companions thought something must have happened to him. The hadith of Abdullah ibn Buraydah is the hadith of the khutbah of the Prophet ﷺ where the Prophet ﷺ was

**[26:07]** one day giving khutbah and while he's giving khutbah ﷺ, they came to the Prophet ﷺ and they both had their beautiful red thobes which appeared to be their ceremonial thobes

**[26:26]** and they came to the Prophet ﷺ, the two of them, and they both were calling for the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ took them both and he actually sat ﷺ and gave the rest

**[26:43]** of the khutbah with them on his lap and he said, صَدَقَ اللَّهُ إِنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ The Prophet ﷺ said Allah has told the truth, indeed your wealth and your children are a fitnah. He said رَأَيْتُ هَذَيْنِ فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ

**[27:01]** The Prophet ﷺ said look I saw these two and I couldn't hold myself and then he continued with his khutbah ﷺ holding al-Hasan and al-Husayn may Allah be pleased with them. So he acknowledged ﷺ that this love that he had in his heart was overwhelming and he said I couldn't help myself, I had to get down from the khutbah and do this. Imagine

**[27:20]** by the way if that happened today. These narrations do start to come to life. Imagine if the Imam takes his kids and gives the khutbah sitting down or prolongs his sujud because one of

**[27:36]** his kids is on his back. The congregation would jump on his back. It would be terrible. Imagine but subhanAllah this is our Messenger ﷺ and this was something that the whole of the community of the Prophet ﷺ understood.

**[27:53]** In Sahih al-Bukhari Ibn al-Harith he says that one time Abu Bakr prayed 'Asr with us and then he went out and this is in al-Bukhari. فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ يَمْشِي فَرَأَى الْحَسَنَ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ

**[28:09]** Abu Bakr went out and he saw al-Hasan playing with the other kids. فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَىٰ عَاتِقِهِ Abu Bakr picked up al-Hasan and he put him on his shoulders. Think about this.

**[28:24]** This kid is getting a lot of attention from the Prophet ﷺ and now Abu Bakr puts him on his shoulders and he starts to play with him and he says بِأَبِي شَبِيهٌ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا شَبِيهٌ بِعَلِيٍّ He said, by my father you look more like the Prophet ﷺ than you do Ali.

**[28:42]** وَعَلِيٌّ يَضْحَكُ And Ali رضي الله عنه was laughing. What a beautiful sight of the companions. Abu Bakr رضي الله تعالى عنه holding al-Hasan رضي الله عنه carrying him and playing with him and you can imagine al-Hasan just like any other kid trying to keep his balance and laughing and Abu Bakr saying you look just like the Prophet ﷺ

**[28:59]** you look more like your grandfather than you do your father and indeed al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه was the most in resembling the Prophet ﷺ in appearance. So he was a beautiful young boy, a beautiful young man

**[29:16]** and of course exceedingly handsome رضي الله تعالى عنه and that's why some of the scholars will connect this narration that he got married several times and that Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه was narrated to have said لَا تُزَوِّجُوا الْحَسَنَ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ مِطْلَاقٌ Don't marry al-Hasan because he gets divorced a lot.

**[29:34]** He was a beautiful, handsome, desirable young man رضي الله تعالى عنه I mean you look like the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ was more beautiful than the full moon on the night of Badr رضي الله تعالى عنه So the narration that the Sahabah say that al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه

**[29:53]** resembled the Prophet ﷺ most in his upper body like he looked like the Prophet ﷺ his face, he looked exactly like the Messenger of Allah ﷺ al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه in the lower body was strength. The Prophet ﷺ had incredibly strong legs and you could see the roundness of the calves of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

**[30:10]** So al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه had the strength of the legs of the Prophet ﷺ as well. Now there is another famous hadith and this is where you start to see some of the context of it. That's really beautiful.

**[30:26]** Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman رضي الله تعالى عنه, he said that one day I went to meet the Prophet ﷺ and I was supposed to meet him after Maghrib but I got delayed so it was after 'Isha. So he said I saw the Prophet ﷺ, I went behind him after Salat al-'Isha and he said ... that something suddenly stopped him in his way ﷺ.

**[30:53]** And he said I had no idea what it was. So basically I was going behind him ﷺ, I was about to get his attention. Before I could do so I saw something in front of the Prophet ﷺ. I didn't know if it was a jinn or an ins or a malak. I didn't know if it was a jinn or a human being or an angel. I had no idea what it was but some sort of presence, figure stopped in front of the Prophet ﷺ that was very unusual and then that figure left.

**[31:21]** So Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman رضي الله تعالى عنه said Ya Rasulullah, O Messenger of Allah, what was that? And the Prophet ﷺ he said may Allah forgive you because obviously Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman رضي الله تعالى عنه was late to the time that he was supposed to come.

**[31:39]** And he said ﷺ ... that this is an angel that has not come down before this night. Meaning it's a special angel. And when you read about, Imam al-Suyuti rahimahullah has a lengthy treatment of this in his book al-Haba'ik.

**[31:59]** When Allah would send a special message to the Prophet ﷺ in the form of a gift, he often would send another angel with Jibril ﷺ. So it's Jibril alongside another angel. So this is a special angel. What did he come to say? This hadith is authentic.

**[32:17]** The Prophet ﷺ said ... first and foremost he asked his Lord permission to give salam to me ...

**[32:34]** and to give me the glad tidings that Fatimah رضي الله تعالى عنها is the master of the women of paradise. She is the leader of the women of paradise ... and Hasan and Husayn are the masters of the youth of Jannah.

**[32:50]** Now here's the thing. How many of you have heard this hadith before? Hasan and Husayn are the masters of the youth of Jannah. There is an obvious problem with this hadith if you actually take a step back. Men and women are still men and women in Jannah, right?

**[33:07]** There's still gender in Jannah, right? But are there ages in Jannah? No. Everyone in Jannah is how old? Someone wanted to say 40, unfortunately. 33, right?

**[33:23]** The age of the people of Jannah is 33. Remember the whole joke of the Prophet ﷺ with the old woman? And the Prophet ﷺ said that no one enters ... 'Aja'iz, right? Old people don't enter Jannah. There's no old woman in Jannah. And she started crying and the Prophet ﷺ made it clear that because you'll be young in Jannah, right?

**[33:42]** Everyone is young in Jannah. And Hasan and Husayn didn't die in their very, very young age. Like may Allah be pleased with them both. They both lived until their 40s, right? So what do you think this hadith means then?

**[33:57]** It's an authentic hadith. It's an authentic hadith. What do you think it means? MashAllah. One interpretation is they're the masters of all of the men, right? So it's all of the men are shabab. That's one group of scholars they said that.

**[34:14]** Another group of scholars, they had a very compelling explanation to this, right? And Hasan and Husayn still died very young compared to their companions and their colleagues, right? They died very young. Late 30s, early 40s. It's not like they lived to be like shuyukh, like in their 60s and 70s.

**[34:32]** The way that the Prophet ﷺ lived into his 60s, Abu Bakr and 'Umar into their 60s, 'Uthman رضي الله عنه into his 80s, Ali رضي الله عنه into his 60s. So they did die relatively young and tragic deaths. So that's that. But one of the things that the 'ulama mention is that this is tied to the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ

**[34:50]** where he mentions the seven that are shaded under the throne of Allah ﷻ. A young man that grew up with his heart attached to the masajid. Basically, the al-Hasan and al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with them, they championed all of the qualities that the youth are to be praised for.

**[35:08]** They championed the qualities that the youth are to be praised for. So for example, what do you hope from youth? You hope that their zeal comes with courage. They have zeal, but does their zeal come with courage? And who's more courageous than al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه?

**[35:24]** Right? And what do you also hope with youth? That their zeal comes with wisdom, with hikmah. And who's more wise than al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه? So basically, they had the zeal of the youth, but they had the perfection of that youth with the two things that make sure that zeal does not go out of hand.

**[35:44]** Because if you have zeal, but you don't have courage, then there's a problem. And if you have zeal, but you don't have wisdom, you can actually end up doing more harm than good. But al-Hasan and al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with them both, they championed these qualities that are paired off with the youth.

**[36:01]** Right? So there are different ways to understand this hadith beyond just the obvious praise that comes with this hadith of al-Hasan and al-Husayn. There's one narration where the Prophet ﷺ mentions, except for Yahya and 'Isa. And with Fatimah, of course, authentically the Prophet ﷺ mentions, except for Maryam.

**[36:19]** Right? And Fatimah herself asked, where is Maryam in this, Ya Rasulullah? And this is her adab, subhanAllah, her beautiful character. She said, but what about Maryam bint 'Imran? Like, we hear all about Maryam. And the Prophet ﷺ mentioned, except for her. And in one riwayah, al-Hasan and al-Husayn, إِلَّا يَحْيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ.

**[36:37]** And Yahya and 'Isa, Yahya ﷺ was martyred in his 30s. And 'Isa ﷺ was risen at the age of 33 and will come back to live for another 7 years on this earth. So there's a similarity of the ages as well.

**[36:54]** But they're still generally within the age of ash-shabab. Right? The age of young people. But of course, al-Hasan, رضي الله تعالى عنه, has a very specific bisharah that's with him. And that's a glad tiding that's associated with him.

**[37:10]** So they're both sayyids. They're the two masters of the youth of paradise. Right? And their mother is the master of the women of paradise. But there's something else attributed to al-Hasan and something very special about al-Hasan. That is the hadith of Bukhari and Muslim that was a glad tidings.

**[37:26]** And that is when al-Hasan, رضي الله تعالى عنه, was picked up by the Prophet ﷺ. And was spoken about in this way that, إِنَّ ابْنِي هَٰذَا سَيِّدٌ This young man of mine, this son of mine is a sayyid, is a master.

**[37:42]** And it may be that Allah ﷻ وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ بِهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ Between two great armies of Muslims, Allah will bring the people together through this young man.

**[37:57]** What's the beauty of this praise? When you think about our Islamic history, right? And don't even take the Shi'a, I'm talking about amongst the Sunni. Who's more praised usually, al-Hasan or al-Husayn? Whose name do you hear more in praise?

**[38:13]** Al-Husayn, and al-Husayn is indeed praiseworthy. رضي الله تعالى عنه A man of courage and justice. And subhanAllah, you have to sometimes remind people that the world needs both Hasans and Husayns. They don't have the same disposition.

**[38:29]** They're both incredibly righteous. They do have different takes and different perspectives and different approaches. Both of them steeped in righteousness. And both of them في سبيل الله And both of them praiseworthy. And what a loser the person who tries to take away from the maqam,

**[38:45]** from the rank of either one of them. Both of them incredible. They're both our masters. They're both our leaders. But the one who's famous for reconciliation is usually the first one to be forgotten in history. In fact, even in your lifetime,

**[39:00]** when you are someone who does islah between two people, if you ever have to arbitrate or reconcile between two parties, both parties will not like you. If you're fair, both parties will be mad at you. Because both parties are going to feel like you didn't go far enough for them.

**[39:17]** And so they might even start to call you weak. Or they might even start to call you compromised. Or they might do this or they might do that. No one likes the muslih, the one who brings the two parties together. And that's why it's the greatest sadaqah, as the Prophet ﷺ said. The greatest charity is al-islah.

**[39:33]** It's to bring two people together. Two of your brothers, two of your sisters together. Because no one likes to do it. How many conflicts exist in our community that most of us go, I'm just not going to get involved in that. Or even worse, we pour gasoline onto it by backbiting and gossiping.

**[39:51]** And we become cultish and cliquish. But how many people say, you know what, I'm going to be the one that brings people together. Islah. Islah. By the way, since I mentioned my father, my father, subhanAllah, was always that person growing up.

**[40:06]** He used to always sit people together. When people would fight in the masjid growing up, he'd sit them in the living room and he'd stay up with them until the late night. And they'd both be mad at him. And then two years later, they'd all thank him. That's just usually how it goes. Usually people get mad. They're like, you didn't take my side. You didn't do enough for me.

**[40:22]** So the Prophet ﷺ praising al-Hasan, specifically with this type of praise. That because he will reconcile two armies, he won't stand and, you know, with a sword go and champion that way.

**[40:39]** But he'll champion by sitting people at the table and saying, no, we're putting this to rest for the sake of Allah ﷻ. What a leader he is. What a master he is. That's where greatness is actually found. Right? And you don't have to take away from the great stand of justice

**[40:56]** to appreciate the great stand of reconciliation as well because both of them have their time period. And the Prophet ﷺ said, مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ? Two armies from the Muslims, which shows you that we don't do takfir. Even on the group that we think is wrong.

**[41:11]** That you don't go to the point of transgression and saying that this group is not Muslim and this group is Muslim. That you can have two Muslims fighting and one Muslim is wrong. And one group of Muslims is transgressing against the others. And we know that as we covered in 'Ammar ibn Yasir رضي الله تعالى عنهما,

**[41:26]** that the Prophet ﷺ said, تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ. The transgressing army will kill 'Ammar. But here the Prophet ﷺ is saying, they're both Muslim armies. At the end of the day, within this fitnah that breaks out.

**[41:41]** Another narration from the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I'll mention this because it's significant as well, is the narration or the context of the ayat of al-Mubahalah in the Quran. Where نَدْعُو أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ, we call our children, your children,

**[41:57]** our sons and your sons, we call our women and your women, and our families, and we proclaim لَعْنَةَ اللَّهِ. We proclaim the curse of Allah on the one who is lying. What is the context of this? I'll paraphrase for the sake of time.

**[42:12]** That there were some Christians who came from Najran, to debate with the Prophet ﷺ over the nature of 'Isa ﷺ, over the nature of Jesus ﷺ. And they were logically and spiritually convinced

**[42:27]** of what the Prophet ﷺ was saying. يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ They know the Prophet ﷺ the way that they know their own sons. Right? Clearly this is the Prophet that's prophesied by Jesus ﷺ. What he's saying about the nature of Christ makes sense.

**[42:42]** There is an agreement that's sort of forming amongst them that we kind of know who he is. So at the end of this, when you can't resolve your debate, then you come forth and we come forth, and we bring the curse of Allah, we ask for the curse of God upon the one that is lying.

**[42:58]** So what did the Prophet ﷺ do? The Prophet ﷺ took his kisa, he took his robe ﷺ, and he called for his family ﷺ. فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ رضي الله تعالى عنها Fatimah came.

**[43:14]** وَقَفَتْ وَرَاءَهُ ﷺ She stood behind him ﷺ. And then Ali رضي الله عنه came, and the Prophet ﷺ put him to his right. And then al-Hasan and Husayn, may Allah be pleased with them, came and the Prophet ﷺ, he entered them into his garment.

**[43:30]** By the way, subhanAllah, one of the narrations, like the Prophet ﷺ walked out, and he had them both in his robe, and they were like, what's going on? And the Prophet ﷺ opened, and he had the two kids there, right? Al-Hasan and Husayn. So it was common for him to put them under his robe ﷺ. So he had al-Hasan and al-Husayn, and then the Prophet ﷺ expanded his robe,

**[43:47]** and he had Ali and Fatimah and al-Hasan and al-Husayn. And the Prophet ﷺ said that this is my family. So, تَعَالَوْا نُبَاهِلُ Now we will invoke what Allah ﷻ has commanded us to invoke.

**[44:02]** So you can imagine just the sight of that, the scene of that, with the family of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, in this regard. And this is known as the Hadith of the Cloak. Now of course, you can imagine how hard it was for

**[44:19]** this whole family to deal with the death of the Prophet ﷺ. I cannot imagine, subhanAllah, for a moment, how empty and hard it was on al-Hasan, رضي الله عنه, for example, whose grandfather paid him that much attention,

**[44:36]** صلى الله عليه وسلم, to now have to see his grandfather being washed. And to be present at the washing of the body of the Prophet ﷺ, as Banu Hashim, as the relatives of the Prophet ﷺ, starting with Ali, رضي الله عنه,

**[44:51]** and Abdullah ibn 'Abbas, رضي الله عنه, and 'Abbas, رضي الله عنه. All of these, the family members of the Prophet ﷺ washing the body. Imagine, how confounding that is for the children, to watch that process taking place, and they were very young. Right? Hasan رضي الله عنه is seven years old or so, right? Husayn رضي الله عنه, even younger than that.

**[45:14]** And they have to watch their grandfather ﷺ being washed, and being carried, and being buried, صلى الله عليه وسلم, and all of the emotions that are running high. On top of that, what makes that pain so much heavier on them, is that Fatimah رضي الله عنها,

**[45:33]** lost the appetite to live after the death of her father ﷺ. She really did not want to live, when the Prophet ﷺ died. And we know that Fatimah رضي الله عنها, was the one that the Prophet ﷺ brought near, and he had that conversation with, صلى الله عليه وسلم. It's a very emotional

**[45:51]** and painful conversation, but he whispers something into the ear of Fatimah, and she starts to cry, and the Prophet ﷺ says, come back down, and they whisper something else, and she starts to laugh. And 'Aisha رضي الله عنها, asked Fatimah رضي الله عنها, what was that? And Fatimah wouldn't tell her,

**[46:06]** like this is a secret between my dad and I. And then later on, Fatimah told 'Aisha, the first time he told me, صلى الله عليه وسلم, that he was going to die, that he wasn't going to live past this sickness. فَبَكَتْ. All right, so she cried. And then he said, صلى الله عليه وسلم, you'll be the first

**[46:24]** one to die after me, from my family. فَضَحِكَتْ. So she laughed, رضي الله عنها. And Fatimah رضي الله عنها, only a few months later, young, healthy, beautiful woman, goes out to her courtyard, and she

**[46:43]** lays back, looking up to Allah ﷻ, making her final du'a, bidding her farewell to her children, and she dies very young, رضي الله عنها. And so you went from having Rasulullah ﷺ as your grandfather present, and Fatimah رضي الله عنها, as your mother present, to losing both of them in a

**[47:01]** very short time frame. That's very painful, especially for children. But Allah ﷻ decreed that the du'a of the Prophet ﷺ, of the righteousness that he prayed for them, would remain in both of them. And they would both live out powerful and profound trajectories. As for

**[47:21]** al-Hasan رضي الله عنه, he initially settled in al-Madinah. I mean, he was very young when the Prophet ﷺ passed away. So it's not like he's even old enough to go out and battle yet, or al-Husayn even is old enough to go out and battle yet. So they're, for the most part, settled in al-Madinah.

**[47:36]** And al-Hasan رضي الله عنه, made hajj up to 25 times, according to some narrations. Lowest one says 15, but there is a catch to it. He performed hajj from Madinah by foot.

**[47:52]** So he would walk it. And he had a beautiful thing that he would say. He would say, إِنِّي أَسْتَحِي مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَىٰ أَنْ أَلْقَاهُ وَلَمْ أَمْشِ إِلَىٰ بَيْتِهِ. I'm shy to meet Allah and I have not walked to his house. Something to give us some motivation when we think coming to the masjid is far, or it's a difficult journey to go to this,

**[48:12]** or a difficult journey to go to that. And so he would walk رضي الله تعالى عنه from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah to Makkah by foot to do hajj. And you know what I reflect on? I think about his father, Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه, who walked the opposite direction from Makkah

**[48:30]** to Madinah, the last one to leave Makkah under the persecution to come to the Prophet ﷺ after having laid in his bed and facing death as real as it comes with the arrows in his face, with the spears in his face رضي الله تعالى عنه. And he was the last one to make it to

**[48:47]** Madinah because he walked from Makkah to Madinah and his shoes were completely torn by the time he got to Madinah and his feet were covered in blisters. Imagine that whole pathway of walking. And this was something سبحان الله that would be replicated by the grandson al-Hasan رضي الله

**[49:05]** تعالى عنه. There's another narration, Abu al-Hawra, he narrates from al-Hasan, قَالَ مَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ What do you remember from the Prophet ﷺ? Again, he was so young, so it's not many direct ahadith that we have from the Prophet ﷺ. فَقَالَ مَا ذَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ What do you remember from the Prophet ﷺ?

**[49:25]** قَالَ أَذْكُرُ أَنِّي أَخَذْتُ تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْتُهَا فِي فِيَّ He said, I remember that I took one of the dates from the dates of sadaqah. These are the childhood memories, right? And I put it in my mouth.

**[49:41]** And he said, the Prophet ﷺ نَزَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِلُعَابِهَا فَجَعَلَهَا فِي التَّمْرِ The Prophet ﷺ took it out of my mouth and he put it back in the sadaqah. So I put it in my mouth, I was about to chew it and the Prophet ﷺ pulled it right back out of my mouth and he put it back in the sadaqah.

**[50:02]** And they said to the Prophet ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ هَٰذِهِ التَّمْرَةِ لِهَٰذَا الصَّبِيِّ Like why did you take the date from that little innocent child? Like you just think about it, it's not that big of a deal. Why did you have to do that يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ? And we know how much he loves al-Hasan.

**[50:17]** And the Prophet ﷺ said, إِنَّ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ That we the family of Muhammad ﷺ are not allowed to consume sadaqah, we don't consume charity. So it's not out of hatred or punishing him, right? It's because we the family of Muhammad ﷺ

**[50:34]** have been prohibited from charity. So that's the first thing he said that he remembered from the Prophet ﷺ. And you think about like childhood memories, like what this conveys. Integrity, right? Integrity from the Messenger ﷺ. He said, and then I also remember from the

**[50:51]** Prophet ﷺ, كَانَ يَقُولُ دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَىٰ مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ. I remember the Prophet ﷺ used to say, leave what causes you doubt for that which causes you no doubt. Leave the gray areas in religion. Like think about what a parent says to a child, trust your gut, trust your heart. Like when you

**[51:07]** start to feel like something is off, something is wrong, then leave it. Sometimes that's your greatest alarm. Before you hear a hadith, before you hear someone tell you this is wrong, leave what causes you doubt for that which causes you no doubt. And he said that الصِّدْقُ

**[51:26]** that truthfulness is comfort, it's tranquility. That when you're a truthful person, it's comfort. And he said الْكَذِبُ is رِيبَةٌ, that lying will lead to all sorts of confoundedness. وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا هَٰذَا الدُّعَاءَ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ إِلَىٰ آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ.

**[51:45]** The du'a of qunut that he used to teach us the du'a of qunut ﷺ. Oh Allah guide us amongst those that you have guided and forgive us with those that you have forgiven until the end of the du'a that we make in qunut. So those are the three things that he recalled as lessons from the Prophet ﷺ. And so you have the integrity being taught to you, you have a

**[52:06]** childhood du'a that you keep with you, and you have this idea of moral discernment. To leave off that which causes you doubt for that which causes you no doubt. As they grew up, may Allah be pleased with them. Remember that means that Abu Bakr's khilafah رضي الله تعالى عنه would have been very

**[52:24]** short in their lives. They were still little children. When 'Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه became the khalifah, they grew up a bit. 'Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه used to prefer them to his own kids. He used to prefer them to his own kids. And we'll talk about this with al-Husayn in particular because there's a very powerful narration in that regard. And he gave them the allocation of

**[52:43]** the people of Badr, even though they weren't present in Badr because he knew the love of the Prophet ﷺ for them both. So the allocation to, like when you think about veteran benefits today, of course the veterans, I'm not going to talk about America's wars and compare them in any way to Badr, right? But I'm saying that there was this idea of the people of

**[53:03]** Badr as having the greatest right upon us as Muslims. And so taking care of the people of Badr and 'Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه put them at that allocation. Then came the khilafah of 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه. And when 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه was placed under siege, when the fitnah broke out

**[53:22]** in the time of 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه, the first one كَانَ مُبَادِرًا إِلَىٰ نُصْرَةِ 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه, who was quick to the side of 'Uthman was actually al-Hasan. Al-Hasan was noted as the most eager defender of 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه. May Allah be

**[53:40]** pleased with them both. Of course Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه was also present. Al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه was also present. Talhah and Zubayr رضي الله تعالى عنهما. May Allah be pleased with them. They were also present. But this idea of like, we're going to protect that there's a nobility here.

**[53:55]** And he was extremely concerned for him رضي الله تعالى عنه was something that was deeply felt and was deeply known by al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه. And because of the sake of time and obviously you go through these moments, but they're important moments. When 'Uthman رضي

**[54:12]** الله تعالى عنه was killed, the fitnah broke out as the people of fitnah wanted to. The people of fitnah are outsiders, they're not insiders. They wanted to cause a rift within the Muslim community at the core of the rift was Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه was deserving. But how quickly can you go

**[54:30]** after the murderers of 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه. At the core of the rift is that. How quickly will you go after them? Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه wants to stabilize and especially those who are partisan to 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه or those who are family and the people of ash-Sham who are under the governorship of Mu'awiyah رضي الله تعالى عنه. They want to go

**[54:48]** after the killers of 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه right away. That's at the core of the rift. Ali, al-Hasan and al-Husayn were defenders of 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه. They were amongst those who buried 'Uthman رضي الله تعالى عنه when the people of fitnah would not allow him to be buried. But once that rift spills over, once that type of chaos ensues, it's very hard at that point

**[55:09]** to be able to tell what's happening here and to be able to put yourself on a course that you know for certain is right. Al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه obviously pledged his allegiance to Sayyidina Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه

**[55:25]** as did 'Ammar ibn Yasir رضي الله عنه and we kind of alluded to this. So he was with his father but al-Hasan was always one who was quick to try to calm down the emotions and to try to solve things without violence, to try to solve things without pain. So at the heart of al-Hasan, he was

**[55:45]** known as someone who didn't like rancor, he didn't like that type of fitnah amongst the Muslims and it was very clear in his discourse and he had that wisdom رضي الله تعالى عنه and that sense of goodness that was just clear from him and emanated from him رضي الله تعالى عنه.

**[56:00]** His father Sayyidina Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه was murdered by the Khawarij in Ramadan. So when his father Sayyidina Ali رضي الله تعالى عنه was murdered, naturally everyone turns to al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه, the oldest son and who's

**[56:17]** deserving in his own rank with his own wisdom and his own beauty and his own principles and the love that the Prophet ﷺ had for him. There wasn't much of a discussion amongst them. So Qays ibn Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah, he stands up and he volunteers that we're going to give bay'ah to al-Hasan ibn Ali

**[56:38]** and he asks for al-Hasan to extend his hand and he says that we will give bay'ah to you that we will give our pledge to you on the basis of the book of Allah and the sunnah of the Prophet

**[56:58]** ﷺ and in accordance with that which follows. And al-Hasan is very smart. Al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه he says it's sufficient for you, you give me bay'ah upon the book of Allah and the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ but he said you also

**[57:18]** give me bay'ah and that you will deal with peace with those that I deal with peace with and you will go to war with those who I go to war with. There's something very subtle in this but there's an indication and there was almost a fear that some people have that al-Hasan is going

**[57:37]** to be a person who's going to stop battles and who's going to calm situations down. Some people didn't want that. So he said if I make peace with someone you all have to make peace with that person and if I go to war then you go to war but I don't want this unconditional loyalty and for this to continue and so as they do that there is an immediate sort of uneasiness from some people

**[57:59]** that al-Hasan is going to make peace that al-Hasan is going to stop fighting that al-Hasan is is going to give up and that's the problem is that we always see a tanazul we always see that forgoing as giving up not seeking something higher and al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه

**[58:17]** something higher so there's an unease right now among some people like what's al-Hasan's policy going to be even Mu'awiyah does not know so he's asking and the way that they exchange letters amongst each other there's a statesmanship that's in it مَا ذَا سَيَدُورُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ like what

**[58:37]** does this mean for me and you I don't know what this means now are we still at war are we not at war what does this mean so al-Hasan calls Ibn Ja'far and he says to Ibn Ja'far he says listen I'm gonna speak to you first he said I have something in my mind he said قَطَالَةُ الْفِتْنَةِ

**[59:01]** he said that the fitnah has gone too long people's blood is being spilled families are fighting amongst themselves and he said and the roads are being obstructed and the women are being humiliated like too many bad things are happening in this fitnah this is no longer a cause

**[59:18]** for this or that fitnah has broken out in the ummah and the ummah is being divided Mu'awiyah is in charge in ash-Sham al-Hasan is in charge in Iraq and they have sort of the territories that are then cut up and distributed at that point so he said that I'm thinking to reach out to Mu'awiyah

**[59:39]** and to make peace with him and to reconcile and to give him this affair to basically give him the khilafah on the condition that we have peace on the condition that we settle what is between us and the ummah Ibn Ja'far he says to al-Hasan

**[59:59]** may Allah reward you on behalf of the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ I'm with you right? Which is the right answer and it's falling into the prophecy of the Prophet ﷺ in that regard. May Allah reward you, you're not thinking about

**[1:00:15]** yourself. Al-Hasan could go out and he could say I am this and I am that and the Prophet ﷺ held me up and I am a sayyid and I am a person who the Prophet ﷺ said this about and I was the coolness of the Prophet ﷺ's eyes he's doing none of that saying how do I make peace behind the scenes because the tensions are starting to flare up people are wondering what's the next

**[1:00:34]** step and you know that foot soldiers never stop fighting right so even if the generals go the foot soldiers keep they keep going so how do I stop this fitnah now he wanted for al-Husayn رضي الله عنه to be called because he knew that

**[1:00:49]** al-Husayn رضي الله عنه was gonna have a different opinion than him and al-Husayn رضي الله عنه indeed and he you know initially reacted and said no absolutely not and al-Hasan رضي الله عنه said I was thinking to hold you in your home and then basically do what I was gonna do and then let you out of the

**[1:01:05]** house after I finished like I'm your older brother at the end of the day right that's the paraphrasing of it and al-Husayn رضي الله عنه of course is noble and acts from fi sabilillah he said that you are the oldest and you are the natural successor and our command follows your command at the end of the day I might not you know agree with a course of action that you're taking and

**[1:01:23]** I might say that we still fight for what we believe is right but at the end of the day if this is what you think is right we're gonna follow you in that so al-Hasan رضي الله عنه sends a message to Mu'awiyah that basically suggests that let's make peace but I have some terms and some conditions for that peace to be made and

**[1:01:41]** I'm ready to give you leadership and we will be under your banner of leadership Mu'awiyah in one narration he sends back a blank letter so al-Hasan looks at it and that can mean many things so he asked the messenger he's like what does

**[1:01:58]** that mean he said write your conditions any conditions you want let's solve this so al-Hasan I mean the conditions at the end of the day of the sulh they surround the idea of peace that there's that there's no more fighting between any of the groups of the Muslims that there's no retribution against any of

**[1:02:15]** the Muslims because sometimes once someone consolidates power then they go back and they attack people that were on the other side of them in a conflict that property and al-mal that what was guaranteed from the Treasury will continue to go forward that Ali would not be cursed or

**[1:02:31]** spoken ill about right which is I mean blasphemous and something that doesn't fit right or is not befitting to a Muslim and one of the conditions was that if Mu'awiyah dies that al-Hasan will take over the khilafah so basically this

**[1:02:48]** is a solution that works for us and different books narrate different forms of these conditions that it goes back to the shura of the Muslims should things fall apart but the point is is that there was a set of conditions that he gives and he offers him reconciliation Mu'awiyah agrees to this while al-Hasan

**[1:03:09]** stands up to tell the army what happens to tell his troops what happened there are 40,000 men some people do not want this one group of people attack his tent and they steal everything he has they loot his tent another man actually

**[1:03:25]** stabs him so he did stab him and he tried to kill al-Hasan and he said you're a kafir just like your father you see how quickly he changed and this is the attitude of the Khawarij the attitude of the Khawarij right they just hate everybody at the end of the day you're a kafir you're a kafir they start

**[1:03:43]** off with one shaykh and hate everybody else's shaykh and then eventually they hate all the mashayikh and it's like it's it's very typical so he starts attacking him and he starts attacking his father and then Ibn Sinan was was was killed he was neutralized and al-Hasan continues

**[1:04:03]** and he makes his way to al-Madinah and he agrees upon the terms the sulh with Mu'awiyah and they basically show in front of the ummah a united rank he gives bay'ah to Mu'awiyah and he calls the Muslims to do so as well and he does

**[1:04:20]** so with grace and subhanAllah amongst the things that he does from the minbar is he reads the entirety of Surah Ibrahim right reminding the believers of their greater concern of their greater calling that we have bigger fish to fry together

**[1:04:35]** and that this has to stop amongst the Muslims so al-Hasan رضي الله عنه fulfills that prophecy of the Prophet ﷺ he brings the people together and you have then after 'am al-jama'ah and khutbat al-sulh or khutbat al-'afw

**[1:04:50]** there's so many beautiful things that they call this the year of unity and the khutbah of pardoning and the khutbah of forgiveness and all these things you have a decade of a golden age for Muslims because now the Muslims could focus once again on their external enemies and they could continue to live

**[1:05:07]** up to the mandate the higher mandate that they had amongst themselves they could build infrastructure in the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ so they got back to their building ways and you can imagine how much our enemies hated this right and so the fitnas are being instigated here and there but overall

**[1:05:25]** the ummah becomes united under a banner and you know this lasts for almost a decade now here's the thing a few things number one do you think that al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه was not severely mocked and criticized for doing this

**[1:05:42]** until the end of his life of course what do you think people are gonna call him you're weak you're a sellout you know you made us look bad you disgraced your father your brother is better than you all of these types of comments are going to come to him and he responds to all of them when they say they would call

**[1:05:59]** him mudhillal mu'minin not amir al-mu'minin mudhillal mu'minin the one who humiliated the believers and al-Hasan would respond and he would say no I'm not that وَلَٰكِنْ كَرِهْتُ I hated that I would cause your blood to be spilt he

**[1:06:15]** would just respond with grace they'd call him all sorts of names and he responds with grace every single time and he continues this way رضي الله تعالى عنه fulfilling that hadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم another thing that's extremely profound here and important is that many of the 'ulama

**[1:06:32]** point out and I do believe this is the correct opinion that al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه is actually the fifth of khulafa' ar-rashidin the fifth of khulafa' ar-rashidin his khilafah was only about seven months but if it's not

**[1:06:49]** rightly guided what he did living up to what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said would make him so praiseworthy more praiseworthy than he already was رضي الله تعالى عنه then what more right and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم mentioned al-khilafah ar-rashidah for 30 years and if you took the seven

**[1:07:08]** months of al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه then it actually fits within that 30 years and so it makes more sense it's more befitting that he not be excluded in any way from al-khulafa' ar-rashidin al-mahdiyin رضي الله تعالى عنهم أجمعين

**[1:07:24]** so he fits the mold رضي الله تعالى عنه in this regard I'll end with a few things about him رضي الله تعالى عنه as an adult in this regard there's a narration that some of the authors put to him but it also it actually fits al-Hasan al-Basri who he's often confused with رضي الله تعالى عنه

**[1:07:43]** sayyid at-tabi'in مَنْ نَافَسَكَ فِي دُنْيَا فَنَافِسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ when people try to compete with you in this dunya compete with them in the akhirah instead it might have actually been attributed to the one named after him al-Hasan al-Basri but it fits his life so perfectly what does he do after

**[1:08:02]** this he returns to al-Madinah he's known for his exceptional generosity Allah سبحانه وتعالى opened the doors of dunya upon him in many ways right and it's narrated about him رضي الله تعالى عنه that he divided his wealth

**[1:08:17]** on three occasions that three times in his life he looked at all his wealth and he gave half of it fi sabilillah to the point that he gave one of his two shoes fi sabilillah three times in his life where he looked at all of his wealth and he gave 50% of it fi sabilillah two times where he gave

**[1:08:33]** everything that he had fi sabilillah and sometimes that numbered in the millions so Allah سبحانه وتعالى opened the doors upon him and he had much wealth to give and he would spread it from this for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى

**[1:08:49]** this is one way of praising him رضي الله تعالى عنه Sa'id ibn 'Abdul 'Aziz he says that one time al-Hasan was in the masjid and he heard he overheard a man making du'a and the man made du'a for Allah سبحانه وتعالى to give him ten thousand dirhams so he just overheard it al-Hasan went

**[1:09:06]** home he got ten thousand dirhams and he gave it to him that's just the way that he was extremely generous رضي الله تعالى عنه there's a famous narration about him as well that one time while there was a servant that was serving a mug the servant dropped the mug and it broke and the servant said

**[1:09:28]** وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ and al-Hasan those who restrain their anger al-Hasan said I'm restraining my anger وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ and those that forgive people al-Hasan said I forgive you وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ and Allah loves the excellent doers al-Hasan said you're free to go he immediately responded to the Quran in that way which

**[1:09:46]** shows you that his generosity his idea of forgiveness and generosity and at-tasamuh and al-hilm forbearance that this comes from a consistent expanse that he has in his chest fi sabilillah for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and there was a love for the Muslims in that regard one of the things that he

**[1:10:02]** actually said in one of his khutab رضي الله تعالى عنه قَالَ إِنَّ الْحِلْمَ زِينَةٌ وَالْوَقَارَ مُرُوءَةٌ he said that forbearance which is patience is actually beauty it's an adornment people mock you for it when you're patient when you're

**[1:10:17]** forgiving he said it's actually he said it's actually a form of beauty وَالْوَقَارُ مُرُوءَةٌ and dignity is actually nobility meaning when you are dignified when you pass through fitan then there's actually a form of nobility وَالْعَجَلَةُ and being

**[1:10:34]** hasty is سَفَاهَةٌ it is foolishness وَالسَّفَاهَةُ ضَعْفٌ and people that are foolish are weak people so he's saying learn to restrain yourself O Muslims and not to be very quick I come to his death for the sake of time رضي الله عنه and

**[1:10:50]** forgive me for going over time al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه was in al-Madinah and he was poisoned who he was poisoned by every conspiracy in the book every conspiracy exists in the books and there is actually no one person that you can

**[1:11:09]** pinpoint for poisoning him right some of them say he got married many times it was next wife right some of them say that it was someone from political camp that they wanted him to die quickly and it doesn't make sense to pin it on Mu'awiyah because if Mu'awiyah was gonna poison him and kill him so he doesn't

**[1:11:26]** have to give him the khilafah he would have done that eight nine years ago not wait a decade to try to pull that off so like the conspiracies don't add up but at the end of the day someone poisoned him رضي الله تعالى عنه and he had a dream and he says that while I was in that dream he said I saw that it was

**[1:11:46]** written on my head قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ that Surah al-Ikhlas subhanAllah what a beautiful thing was placed between my eyes was written on my forehead so Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib said رضي الله تعالى عنه

**[1:12:03]** إِنْ صَحَّتْ if that is an authentic dream then your death is very soon Allah سبحانه وتعالى is gonna call you back very soon and al-Hasan indeed رضي الله تعالى عنه the the pain of that poison overtook him and he said that I could

**[1:12:19]** feel my liver being cut up from the poison so it bothered him deeply and it's a very graphic way that it started to pain him then he calls al-Husayn his brother his noble brother رضي الله تعالى عنه al-Husayn says that I entered upon al-Hasan while he was in ihtidar while he was in that state of

**[1:12:39]** about to die قَالَ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يَبْتَسِمُ and I saw him smiling قُلْتُ مَا لَكَ تَتَبَسَّمُ why are you smiling so much he said وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرَى خَلْقًا مَا رَأَيْتُهُمْ غَيْرَ هَٰذَا الْيَوْمِ he said I swear to you Husayn I'm

**[1:12:54]** looking at creation now that I have never seen before today يَزُورُونَنِي and they keep on visiting me وَإِنَّهُمْ حَوْلِي يَبْتَسِمُونَ أَوْ يَتَبَسَّمُونَ فِي وَجْهِي and they're all around me and they're smiling at me right now so Husayn I'm telling you that there

**[1:13:11]** are creatures in here right now that are smiling at me and I've never seen these creatures before and that's why I'm so happy فَقَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَتَبَسَّمْتُ al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه said that I smiled as a result of that so then he gave me his wasiyyah قَالَ احْمِلُونِي

**[1:13:27]** احْمِلُونِي he said carry me وَأَخْرِجُونِي إِلَىٰ سَاحَةِ بَيْتِي and take me to the courtyard of my home and he said حَتَّىٰ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي مَلَكُوتِ اللَّهِ until I can contemplate or basically look towards the dominion of Allah

**[1:13:46]** سبحانه وتعالى so al-Husayn was carried to his courtyard and he looked up to the sky and he said لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَحْتَسِبُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَحْتَسِبُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ there is no God but Allah oh Allah I submit myself I submit myself wholly to you all of myself to

**[1:14:08]** you so al-Husayn says to him يَا أَخِي oh my son oh son of my mother and my father يَا ابْنَ أُمِّي وَأَبِي because they're full siblings Ali رضي الله عنه had many other children 27 or so after Fatimah رضي الله

**[1:14:27]** تعالى عنها but they're full siblings so he says my brother the son of my mother and my father قُلْ لِي مَنِ الَّذِي وَضَعَ لَكَ السُّمَّ tell me who poisoned you and he subhanAllah he's saying you know I don't want your eyes to close and

**[1:14:44]** Husayn you can see the justice sense in him I don't want your eyes to close until I take justice for you I want to know who poisoned you and al-Hasan he said لَا أُخْبِرُكَ أَبَدًا he said I'm never gonna tell you إِنَّمَا أَدَعُهُ إِلَىٰ يَدِ

**[1:14:59]** الْقِيَامَةِ I am leaving him and I will find him on the day of judgment so Allah سبحانه وتعالى will take my right for me on that day so I leave him to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so al-Hasan knows or he has a feeling who poisoned

**[1:15:16]** him but he's purposely not telling al-Husayn so that blood is not spilled in his cause that is a beautiful personality and he gives the wasiyyah to al-Husayn he says إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَاحْفِرْ لِي مَعَ أَبِي he said if I die then bury me with my

**[1:15:32]** father who does he mean when he says my father Rasul Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم so he said if I'm if I die the first thing try to bury me close to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and Abu Bakr and 'Umar right bury me with my father صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِلَّا فَفِي بَيْتِ عَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ just to make it very clear

**[1:15:51]** that when he says أَبِي he means the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and if you can't do that then next to then in the house of Ali and Fatimah and he says وَإِلَّا فَفِي الْبَقِيعِ and if not then bury me in al-Baqi' وَلَا تَرْفَعَنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ صَوْتًا and Husayn don't raise your voice in this regard

**[1:16:07]** what does he mean by that if people make a big deal about it don't cause any type of commotion in the community let it go ahl al-bayt the family of the beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم they always have the bigger picture they have the community at heart and you can imagine how hard it

**[1:16:24]** was for al-Husayn and so when the news reached Banu Umayyah they said no no 'Uthman was buried in al-Baqi' or he was buried far out and it's you know they made excuses why he can't be buried here and why

**[1:16:40]** he can't be buried there and it started to cause fitnah and commotion and so al-Husayn remembered the advice of his brother and he said you know what I'm not going to raise my voice in this regard he'll be buried in al-Baqi' next to his mother Fatimah may Allah be pleased with her and so they took him

**[1:16:56]** and they buried him and subhanAllah on that day they say the janazah of al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه in al-Madinah was the biggest janazah they ever saw one of the beauties of that one of the reasons for that right is that he's a person who always

**[1:17:11]** treated people with kindness generosity the one who brings people together the one who spends upon the people the one who advocates for the people this is how Allah سبحانه وتعالى rewards them right that everyone that's standing in his janazah honors him or loves him because you have

**[1:17:29]** to love him to love the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم or because he showed them that beauty and that generosity رضي الله تعالى عنه and al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه let Sa'id ibn al-'As رضي الله عنه lead the janazah and he said

**[1:17:45]** تَقَدَّمْ فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ مَا قَدَّمْتُكَ he said you lead the salah if it wasn't a sunnah then I would not have put you forward meaning I would have led the janazah but you're the governor of Madinah and al-Husayn is keeping things within and al-Husayn saw and and we're going to talk about al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه

**[1:18:03]** next week the hurt the pain al-Husayn رضي الله عنه saw Marwan ibn al-Hakam putting his hands on the janazah of al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه and this is Imam adh-Dhahabi rahimahullah narrates this and he looked at him and he said تَحْمِلُ سَرِيرَهُ like now you're carrying

**[1:18:21]** his body and he said you used to drive him crazy when he was alive you were one of the people that used to fight him and he said كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَنْ يُوَازِنُ حِلْمُهُ الْجِبَالَ he said I'm doing that with someone whose forbearance is greater than the mountains like the patience of al-Hasan is unlike anyone that we have ever seen رضي الله تعالى عنه

**[1:18:40]** and so he died at the age of about 47 years old very young رضي الله تعالى عنه and he's buried next to Fatimah az-Zahra رضي الله تعالى عنها and so the master of the women of Jannah and one of the two masters of the youth of Jannah are buried together in al-Baqi' in that section of

**[1:19:00]** where the family of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is most of his children would be shuhada in Karbala alongside al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه but he was survived ultimately by two sons through one of those sons came Nafisah does anyone know who Nafisah is رضي الله تعالى عنها

**[1:19:20]** Nafisah is a teacher of Imam ash-Shafi'i rahimahullah great the great lady Nafisah رضي الله the great scholar was from the noble lineage of al-Hasan رضي الله تعالى عنه inshallah next week we will talk about al-Husayn رضي الله تعالى عنه may Allah gather us with

**[1:19:37]** the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with the family of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with the companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with the shuhada and siddiqin and salihin Allahumma ameen

**[1:19:56]** you
