Salman Al Farsi (ra): The Truth Seeker | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman

So tonight, dear brothers and sisters, we delve into the story of a sahabi who subhanallah. It's very difficult to condense the story because there is a lot of story that comes through this companion of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and the way I want to set the stage for you are like abdullah when he describes how he met this man, of course, He was a young man and one day we will unravel his biography in its entirety. Insha'allah, he was soon a young man when he was finally able to be with the prophet salallahu between the years. 10 and 13. so you have to see the world through his eyes.

He arrives in Medina and is seeing this new reality that he only heard about in Mecca about his cousin and he wants to absorb it all and there is a very peculiar situation. person who walks around Medina with such a height with such a heba, you know that people are so amazed by him, he enters the house of the prophet and sees some frequently when people see him, there is a clear distinction between this man and he is Persian and the Persians. and the arabs had a cultural aversion to each other and that is why abdullah is very curious about

salman

, who is this man and what is the story of him and subhanallah that we have in the book of virtues of assad in sahih bukhari, the narrated hadith by abdullah. ibn abbas the history of islam by

salman

al-pharasi imagine this 13 year old boy sitting with another 63 year old boy because he was the same age as the prophet salallahu saying how you ended up here and who you are and what your story is who tells him this long one story of how it ends in the presence of the prophet salallahu with so much distinction and greatness, so imagine in a medina, a young man sitting with his elder and saying to him, tell me your story, and he begins to download all this story. history of the Roman and Persian empire of versions of Christianity that they didn't even know existed and of the multiple languages ​​​​he knew and the multiple obstacles he had to overcome to reach the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in al-madinah so that Let's start briefly and of course , I have taught a much longer course on Salman, so I am going to condense into two parts, inshallah, this week and next, briefly, what the history of the Persian and Roman empire is as it is. relates to the story of salman al-farrah number one, the persian empire followed what religion what was the religion of the persian empire a religion called zoroastrianism al majus when you read it in our books, okay and they are marked by worship and worship that surround fire and subhanallah when you look at the Romans and their attachment to Christianity at that time, a very particular type of Christianity at that time when you say the Medus or you say the Persians or you say the Christians or you say the Romans those things are interchangeable because the religion is strongly associated with those two empires if you are Roman you are supposed to belong to the Christian empire if you are Persian or if you are Zoroastrian you belong to the Persian empire these two empires had the longest war in history for 700 years that only ended in the era of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, and was predicted in its collapse in sura ron.

Imagine more than 720 years to give you a perspective that twice is the time between us and the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, imagine two empires fighting for so long without pause between them and it will end in the time of Islam in the time of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, with both empires being defeated by the Muslims, so it's an interesting world. Religion and politics are very intertwined and this is the state religion, so to speak, of the Persian empire, Zoroastrianism and the state religion of the Roman empire, being a very particular type of Christianity that was formalized under Constantine and these two empires are at war and everyone else is an observer, everyone else is an observer. observer with his loyalties to one of the two empires is growing up in the house of the high priest of his religion, okay, he is growing up in the house of the high priest of his religion to give him context of how important this role was if Look for the coins of the persian empire at that time, you will find that some of the coins did not have the kisrah image of the ruler of the persian empire, but of the priests around the fire, so people used to come around this. fire that they used to worship and they said that the man of Allah will grow up in the house of the high priest and the leader of his people around this fire and somehow he will find himself in medina next to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, so you talk about an improbable journey this is the most unlikely journey of all the companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that we have covered now it is also important to understand that the christianity that existed in persia at that time because there was a christianity in persia at that time it was a smaller form of christianity but definitely one that was closer to the way of Isa to the way of Jesus, peace be upon him, it was a more orthodox form of Christianity, less politicized, a small group of Christian worshipers and, in fact, if you look above, in Persia Some historians consider the Assyrian Church of Saint Mary's Maryam to be the second church in the history of Christianity after Bethlehem.

You read about the Persian followers of Christ, the first Persian followers of Christianity, so they maintain their presence, but they don't have any political power but they also aren't subject to the formalized Christianity of the Western Church under the Roman Empire and so without going too deep into history the council of nicea which takes place in the year 325 after isa the the council of nicea is where the nicene creed the roman church formalizes the trinity and formalizes many new dictates in christianity and essentially bans all other forms of christianity , so the debates about Isaiah and who he was and whether they are three in one or one or whether he is father and son or whether Jesus is fully human or fully human and fully god, all of these debates are supposed to end and many practices are instituted at the council of nicea they are supposed to become the mainstream and the only acceptable version and understanding of isa islam. of Christianity at that time Persian Christians maintained their small cult outside the dominion of the Roman Empire they worshiped in peace they worshiped in silence and maintained many of the early forms of al-qaeda the primitive creed of Christianity at that time and many of the earliest forms of worship that you wouldn't find except underground and hidden in the Roman Empire, so let's get to the story of Salman and how he enters into this particular type of agreement and arrangement that leads him to where Salman's name is according to most people. books was rusbay the son of marzban rusbay the son of marzban now there is a debate whether his name was salman before after islam and some of the scholars say that he was salman which denotes being tolerant and obedient because he submitted.

For Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala, some of them say that this is actually a description of the kind of child he was with his father. His father was the leader of his people in Asbahan, in modern-day Iran, in Persia, and he is the high priest of fire. is literally in his house so he lives in a palace, the fire is in his house and Salman is growing up blinded to the world around him, he literally doesn't leave the house, he takes care of this fire and is being raised to essentially be the successor to his father now. The premise of Zoroastrianism is that fire can never be put out, so this has to go on and on and on and on and they didn't have fire alarms at the time, okay, so he's in his house all the time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you have to watch. the fire and tend to it and salman allah was growing around this fire rusbay the son of marsban now says that my father was not only the leader of our people and the chief of our people, but my father loved me deeply, so salman He was loved by his father and he said he loved me so much Algeria that he held me like a slave in the home he never let me go I was like a slave I could never leave my house and you talk about another level of refuge from my father He kept me there by the fire all the time and they provided for me, we had servants in the house, we had everything we needed and I followed it, I learned in the path of Zoroastrianism, I learned its philosophies, I learned the practices. from it he learned the scriptures at that time, it is one of the oldest religions in the world, he learned everything there was to learn about Zoroastrianism and that is why he became respectable when he was a teenager in that faith, so he is growing to become in a Zoroastrian priest and the The house was called darimar, which is the name of the place where the fire is kept, then it says that my father was very rich, he was very affectionate, he spent money with me, I never had any reason to leave my house, we had multiple properties that were owned by him, he had guardians, he had servants to look after, he had palaces and estates that he had servants to look after and then one day he said that my father was too busy with his properties and needed an extra hand, so who comes to me and at this point he trusts me because I've never left home, I've never done anything wrong and, you know, I grew up in this religion as a priest in this religion, he comes to me one day and he says: oh my son I am very busy with construction today and I need help with the garden so I need you to go and take care of this garden so salman allahu ta'ala finally allowed me to leave the house and it is not that Salman Allah disobeyed his father, he said I got lost, so I left the house and got lost, which shows how protected he was.

He didn't even know how to get to his father's garden, so subhanallah while he got lost. Is he found? He says I came across a church and he said I was intrigued because I could hear the voices of his reciters who were reciting his scriptures from inside the church, so I felt compelled that the only thing Salman breathed growing up was religion. and it was a particular religion, it was Zoroastrianism, so he said this was compelling to me. I was attracted to the recitation of his scriptures, so he said he remembered that my father, you know, kept me inside the house and never exposed me to anything, so I just wanted to see what it was, so Salman Allah walked into his church and subhanallah.

I want you to imagine a person entering the mosque for the first time when he sits at the back and looks around. This is entering the church at that time. and he said that he surprised me with his recitation, his rukur and his sujud, his obeisances and his prostrations. This is one of the most important historical elements of Persian Christianity versus Roman Christianity. The council of Nicaea removed the prostration of Sujood, which is very strange because Peace be upon him until now is described in the Bible as praying, how the way you just prayed by falling on your face in prayer, the Persian church kept the sajdah, they still used to prostrate, so it was still very similar to the way muslims pray, so salman allah.

He said I was attracted by his salah they were in salah they were reciting his scriptures they were kneeling they were prostrating and he said I sat there and watched and time passed, an hour passed, two hours passed, two hours passed and then he said, I come to This realization I said that their religion is better than ours as if I had been doing all this my whole life. I am a trained priest in my own way and I said that religion is better than ours. You know, sometimes you can see it in this. messages often when someone comes in and sees the salah and sees the Quran even if they don't understand it you just see the understanding click like wow there is something so pure that transcends through this salah so he said I said that their religion is better than ours then he said I forgot myself and lost track of time and he said and the time of sunset came then what would have been the equivalent of maghrib at that time so they prayed again at sunset and was his last prayer? and he said and his leader came to me the priest of the church came to me and I told him where does this religion come from where is this religion from and he said asham what is the biggest Syria Palestine Lebanon Jordan and what am I missing Palestine Lebanon, Jordan and Syria of course are big Syria so he is from Asham so he said I came home after that and his world was shaken.

The only question he had in that conversation was where is this religion from and he said Hashem, so he said for him. When I got home, I mean, his father had caused panic in the entire city along Asbahan. He sent people to look for Salman everywhere. He thought maybe he had been kidnapped. He thought maybe he had died. He thought the worst was correct and then he said. My father finds me and my father hugs me and says oh my son, where were you? I sent you to the garden, where did you end up going, what happened, why didn't you do what I asked, it's all good, all these questions, so I told him: "My father, I went to look for the garden and I got lost, but I passed by this place and it was a place of worship and I heard a recitation so it attracted me and I went in and it was a church and I saw them pray and recite their father, all his life he had been trying to keep me from hearing about anything but the form in which he taught him, I mean Zoroastrianism in Persia, you are here, they are training you, they are preparing you for this position and then his father panics and what does he say he says there is no hair there is nothing good in it.that religion of his says I have to be honest dad dino medina I think religion is better than our religion his father loses his mind and doesn't react in an intelligent way, he doesn't sit there and sit with him and try to show him his own din.

His father, on the other hand, takes his son and chains his hands and legs and he imprisons him in his own house, he says that you will not leave this house, it shames him, so salman allah and who happens to be the high priest in the home that everyone knows he comes to every week when they gather to worship his father's beloved son now he is the worst child the curse of his humiliated father people enter the house they look at him they see him chained and salman has been disgraced and subhanallah everything What it does is it makes him want the

truth

more the fact that his father responded that way only increased his desire for the

truth

even more so he was not discouraged, in fact I was able to send a letter to the Christians and told them the people of that church, so the implication is that he basically had a servant who cooperated with him.

The letter said that you told me that your religion originated in Syria the next time the traders came from Asham because remember that there were trade routes and there were seasons when you went from Persia to Yemen and Yemen to Asham Mecca. to the different places, the trading trip in the winter, the trading trip in the summer, so he said that next time, in the next season, when the merchants come from Asham, let me know that they have arrived and that I will return to Hashem with Then the message reaches them and some time passes and there are some merchants who come from Asham and go about their business and finish their business and the letter is returned to Salman.

The merchants of Asham, the Christian merchants of Hasham, are finished. their affairs and now they are ready to return and salman Allah, so I escaped from my father's imprisonment and joined these people and returned to Hashem, so subhanallah, now you have this young man who got lost on the way. to his father's garden and ended up in a church and now he is being called by his fitrah being called by his origin to go to a farce with a group of people who do not speak the same language as him who are not like himself putting himself in a very vulnerable situation all because he wants the truth and in the middle of a heated war between the Romans and the Persians he goes like a Persian entering Roman territory even as a civilian where things could become hostile for him at any moment. but salman wants to go to the source, he was so attracted by this religion that he wanted to learn from the most knowledgeable person about the religion, so he said: we reached asham and salman allah, who were not distracted, now he reached damascus and In Damascus he could have looked around and said: you know what?

Now that I think about it I'm a young man. I have never had the opportunity to explore life. I am free. Let me go see this place and that place. Salman says as soon as we reached Damascus, I said who is the most knowledgeable person in this place about this religion, who knows the religion best, so they took him to this priest in the church in Damascus and Salman said I went with him and I told him. to him oh so and so I like this religion of yours let me stay with you and serve you in the church and in return I will learn from you and pray with you so basically take me as a servant here I am I don't come to ask you anything I don't want money from you I don't expect anything from you change Let me be just a servant I will clean I will take care of anything you need I will basically be your assistant, whatever you want from me, but let me learn from you and let me pray with you.

I need tutoring. He understands the value of mentoring early on, so this guy says, "Come on, he's taking it now." This story could be very beautiful right now. correct point, i mean, the high priest salman in persia leaves his father's house to study this new religion, the way of christ, he wants to understand christianity in the broadest sense, he found these righteous people in persia, he is supposed to this man is very righteous and also a scholar, this man turned out to be the most corrupt and evil human being I have ever met in my life, think about the fitna, the proof that he was a complete criminal, now Salman Allah described his father in favorable terms, so if you are attaching only religion to the people and the experiences of the people the leader of my people the right father who appointed me head priest was loving to me he was someone who was good yes we had consequences because I started to deviate from the religion but he was a good man this man who they say is the most informed Christian is a complete criminal son of Allah could have said: "forget this religion" I am sneaking back to Persia I am going to apologize to my father and me.

I am going to go back and be a high priest once again and forget this experiment of Christianity and seek the stagnant truth. He says this man was such a criminal that he said he would go out and give these moving sermons about charity. giving sadaqa and then everything he did people came with their most valuable possessions, his most valuable charity is that he would take them and keep them in a place in the church and he would not give anything to the poor, just a few coins so he could satisfy them, say that he is giving the charity that goes into the church, so he is stealing their money, everything he told them to do, he did the opposite, the man would commit all kinds of shameless acts. no private worship i was looking for someone i could worship with all day the guy had no interest in worship i hated this man with every fiber in my body i couldn't stand this man what a horrible human being and he said he had these chests of these treasure chests of all the people's gold and silver and only I knew where they were and I was thinking to myself how do I expose this man and I think about how vulnerable he is if salman allah comes out and says oh people I want you know that your high priest is corrupt, he is a young Persian, no one knows who he is, they will just say that he is here to cause some kind of trouble and everyone will kill him, it won't work well, so Salman.

Allah was stuck, I don't know what to do, how do I show people who this man really is, he says while trying to figure out what to do with this man, suddenly he died and when he died, I mean, the ceremonies and funerals were put on elaborated upon him, he was their precious leader, their beloved leader, so he said they started making all these plans in the church and they started gathering from all over and the people cried and got emotional and he said in that At the time They gathered together, I stood up and said wallahi, this man was an evil man.

Everything he used to order you to do, he did the opposite and everything he used to take from you for charity, he kept for himself and the people. They were full of anger as if you better prove what you are saying or else you are going to die, Salman is risking his life by saying who this man really is and when they are about to pounce on him standing in the church in Damascus says: I will prove what I tell you, follow me, he takes them to his room in the church, the priest's room, and takes out the treasure chests, and you imagine the scene, he begins to take out your mother's bracelet and all the gold and silver. that you work so hard for your precious belongings and he says here is the charity that you thought you were giving to the poor, he was keeping it all in his room, then the man of Allah said that when I finished showing them all their hiding places and explaining the kind of corruption that the man used to cause, he said at that time they said wallahi, we will never bury him, they took the body of their priest, crucified him and stoned him, I mean, out of anger.

They just took out his anger on his dead body in front of everyone, so they made a public display of their anger at him and threw stones at him and he says they left him there until his dead body rotted and became so dirty. that they lowered it. and he threw it in the dustbin, this was the end of this man, subhanallah, I mean it was complete hatred towards him for what he did to people and Salman was in a difficult situation. Now you talk about feeling disappointed when the person who taught you religion. it ends up being corrupt when you join your faith to a human being think of the strength fitna this is not just his sheikh this is the only sheikh he knew this is the only person he was taught was a representation of this new religion that he embraced well, you think about the fitna of that subhanallah when you read the story of malcolm man and this is what he became, forget about this religion, right, he was wise, he was intelligent, he was sincere, he refused to judge religion by the actions of that man, so religion itself still has some value.

There is something here that is divine that I need to learn. If this man is a failure, it is his, it is his own failure, that is not the failure of religion, that is the failure of this man alone, that is the wisdom and sincerity of salman allah, it is so sad that they brought another man and they appointed him to fill the position. Instead, what do you think was the situation of this corrupt and righteous man? I have never seen anyone more righteous than this man who was not a follower of muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the most righteous man I have seen who was not a follower of The prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, said this was a man and the way you describe me.

I never saw a man who did not offer the five daily prayers who was better than him. He said this was a man who would strive day and night to worship. Allah who would cry when he would recite the Scriptures that would exhort people to give charity and give everything he had. This was a man dedicated to the church and Salman Allah said: I love this man like I have never loved anyone before. Subhanallah. look at the far right taqwa and Allah opened a way out for him, Salman who was sincere, Allah tested him with an obstacle in his journey and now he is savoring the sweetest moments of his journey into Christianity which at that time is the closest manifestation of the The truth is that this is the time of Jahalia before the time of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, trying to find the pure message of isa Islam, the pure message of Jesus, peace be upon him and he said : "I dedicated myself to him and worshiped with him." he was advising me and I was following his advice and he was seeking advice for me and I was advising him, I mean this was the best relationship you could have between a scholar and a student and then he said the man got sick and was about to die. die, who went from the worst to the best, finally immerses himself in this new religion, he is attracted by what he heard in the church in persia, he is tasting the sweetness and of course you know that the prophet saw that allah was pleased with baqayam and al-kitab there were these gems of the people of the book in the seas of people who had gone astray this was clearly one of them salman allah was with a righteous man and now he says I am at his bedside and as he dies I am talking to him and I say oh my teacher, he said wallahi, I love you like I have never loved anyone before.

It is an emotional celebration of his teacher. Salman never saw his father die. She is watching this man die. Salman. Allah's decree has come to you just as he promised. What do you advise me to do? what do I do after your death? I don't do it, do you know who they're going to bring you? I don't know what kind of character he's going to be. I don't know if his religion is going to be pure. What do I do? The man says to me or my son, wallahi. I don't know a single person who follows what he says.

I continued because the people are condemned and they have changed the religion of Jesus, peace be upon him, except a scholar in Mosul in Iraq, go back to him and tell him I sent you. follow him and learn from him like he used to learn from me, so let's say they are sending him back to the Persian empire back to Iraq. There are no direct flights from Damascus to Mosul at the moment. Just think about this for a moment. Take it seriously. These are trips across the world through hostile warring empires and Salman has no travel experience, he has no one to protect him and Salman Allah was told to take this trip and find this man in Mosul, Iraq, tell him I sent you. sad so I waited for him until he died we washed him we prayed janaz over him we buried him he said I took the small belongings I had and headed from Damascus to the Muslims and Iraq now mainly along the way before the Nicene council was one of the centers of the Eastern Christianity, it was actually an episcopal see in the Assyrian church of the East in the 6th century, so this is a place that has a rich history and you will find that this is the small group of people in this teacher who have then said that I found the man I headed to most of Iraq I found him and I said oh so and so my teacher in Damascus advised me after his death to come to you and he told me that you I follow the same religion in the same way as him go on and that I should stay with you then he said he told me to come with me and stay with me then he said I stayed with this man and found out that he was in the path of my previous master, a righteous man who worshiped allah subhanahu wa ta' ala, I learned from him, I studied with him and I was glad because there was continuity in the journey, from one form to another shaykh, basically, from scholar to scholar, righteousness continues and again, another gem from the people of the book in the sea of He lost her then said that he too begins to diecontain his enthusiasm, says ja la ithania, that's two, two of three signs, so now I have the correct geography, I have two of three signs, but how am I going to ask the man to see his back because the third sign It's a seal on the back of the prophet saws and I'm a Persian guy? out of nowhere and you know it's a deeply suspicious thing if I just walk up, hey, do you mind if I see your back, he said, so I started looking at the back of the prophet's mountain ranges whenever I could, whenever I could get away from my house teacher so I would go and search and look and follow the back of the prophet's saws and see maybe if his garment was lowered if his shirt was lowered so that I could see his back subhan allah, he says that the first time I see his back is that the janazah of one of his companions and was the first sahabi buried in al-baqir next to the prophet's mosque saw who that sahabi was according to the most correct way.

Opinion, I'll give you a clue. He's the first person we talk about this season one. The first Muslim of Medina is also the first burial in Medina. Who is Assad? So Salman is watching the prophet who saw Islam bury us with his companions. Imagine al-baqir in all its glory, tens of thousands of companions buried there now and all the righteous scholars and tabiri that Allah subhanahu ta'ala grants us watching the prophet saw some of the companions bury the first man there, it is like this. I watched from behind the funeral and saw the prophet salla sallam leading the prayer over him and then I saw the prophet saw and he was carrying two shawls sitting between his sahabah and then when it was time to put him in the grave to lay the body. of Allah in a narration at the tomb said that the prophet saw that some started to move, so he said, so I started going and kept looking at the back of the prophet, salla sallam, and after they did the burial, he said that rasool allah realized.

What he was trying to do prophesy some realized what Salman was trying to do, then he said that the prophet saw that the garment was pulled down, Salman with Allah on the back of the prophet saw that that birth marked the seal that had been searching. more than 30 years in the middle of the janazah of the first muslim in madinah salman I could not contain myself I threw myself on the prophet saws and I was kissing the back of the prophet saws kissing the seal of the prophet saws and crying and crying and while I am crying, what is passing by, the sahaba look like this, it's a really strange sight, just like what is happening here, this persian man just jumps on the prophet's life, some of the prophets leave him and hugs the prophet sasam and kisses the prophet's back sallallahu and he said after I calmed down, I mean it took me a while to hold back and prophet salallahu said can I turn around? and I said yes, he said I started wiping my eyes and after I calmed down I mean I was crying out loud, he said, I told Prophet Saws, more like he told me mahabrook, what's your story? subhanallah after traveling the world and going through more than 13 slave owners and the beatings and the confusion and the corruption and all the fitan all the Trials and tribulations All that we went through in this journey of Islam we will not face the trials and tribulations that this man faced in his journey before even meeting the Prophet and finally he is right in front of Prophet Saws and Prophet Salla.

He says tell me your story, then he said I told prophet salla son the whole story of my life in subhanallah graveyard and he said and I am telling it to you just like I told him that day remember while he is narrating the story so go from persia to damascus to iraq to turkey to syria everywhere with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and then he says to the prophet sierras and i was looking for you and he burst into tears again may allah give us that meeting with the prophet sierras how do you believe about that subhanallah, that journey towards the prophet saw and that is our journey of life, that journey of being on this path to finally meet the prophet saw some of his companions not in jannatul but in jannatul around the prophet saw salman rasool Allah says I am looking at you and giving you his attention and saying, tell me your story, this is a moment of jannah subhanallah after a difficult and difficult life that Salman Allah was living and he said I told the prophet that I am everything. and I was and now here I am before you imagine the validation that Salman felt, imagine the way all the stress, all the trials and all the tribulations melt away when he realizes that he has now reached the prophet, sallallahu alaihi, and it's right in front. of him, but his test is not over, he has a problem, the man who possesses him now hates the prophet, salla sallam, and refuses to let him free, so now subhanallah, another test in the tribulation, is in Medina and all This glory is developing around the prophet Salla.

He sallamed and said my master would not let me go. Prophet Sierras told me yes, how can we free you, how can we get you out and Salman's teacher did not set a price, he did not let him go and said that in slavery I was lost, what did he say? He said that the man made me miss better as if he didn't say that he missed how to pray in the mosque I missed eating with the prophet Sierras I missed all those days with the prophet I saw him I saw him he said that I missed Bedro as if I hated that man for making me lose the battles with prophet sierras and be with prophet sasam in his difficult times and he said in prophet sierrasan he told me yes free yourself what do you need I have nothing to do free me so he said "Go to your master and tell him everything he wants." The prophet saw say whatever he wants, he will free you but you will get a price.

So he said I went to my teacher and he said, "Well, you want freedom." I said, I want 300 palm trees, you get the land, you get the trees, the plants and the trees have to come to life, so you have to see the trees and make sure they really come to life. Oh, and by the way, I want forty. Golden opiates by the way more than a thousand grams of golden salmon from Allah said I was so disappointed that I didn't even go back and told prophet Saws what he said and prophet Saws came to me and said yes did you do it ? what I said and he said ya rasulullah, he put an impossible price, he said, what did he say, he said, 300 palm trees, the land, the trees and you have to see them come to life, take care of them until they come to life and 40 gold ukiyas ya rasulullah is something Impossible the prophet's lies in them without hesitation calls the sahabah says everyone help their brother let's do it allah let's talk about converting be careful how much is that person worth after the shahada moment?

This is without a doubt the greatest jihad story of all time, of course, I mean talking about a trip and the Sahaba heard it, but what is Salman worth? He doesn't have a powerful tribal collection or connection in a worldly sense. He has no one to take care of him. He has nothing to offer in the worldly sense. He is a Persian man. How much is he worth in the dunya? We feel good in the worldly sense. Prophet Sierras did not sit there and think and say you know what, to Allah, be patient, have a Sabbath.

I will see you in jannatul france with everyone else, I will see you later, you will be fine, inshallah, make it last brother, he didn't tell her that, everyone help your brother, so she then looks and all the sahaba starts. to go out carrying their palm trees, one of them brings one, the other brings two, the other brings 10. who brings the earth and it is 20. of course, uthman was never surpassed in karum in generosity until they collected 300 palm trees to plant salman. He says the prophet saw Islam and told me yes, go dig the ground to plant the trees and then call me when you are done, then salman, I went and dug the three hundred holes for the trees and then I came.

Coming back to the life of the prophet, I said: now, rasulallah, I am done and he said that the prophet saw wine with his companions and he said that rasulullah sallam went into each of those holes and said: give me the tree and he planted it himself making dua and nurturing it subhanallah in a narration of Allah planted a tree and it was the only tree that died actually it is in one of them it is a hassan is not the one not because something is wrong with um but because the life of the prophet had a connection special here, right? i planted the 299 trees and then i planted one in the place where i planted the tree according to a narration so 300 trees from the hands of prophet salla talk about caring for the converts he did not pass it on to someone else and said that the 300 the trees came to life now there is a problem like Salman, well where do I get all this gold of 40 gold tokens? he said while all this was happening a man approached the prophet and gave the prophet son a block of I pray as a gift to the prophet Salla Islam of Medan, then he said that the prophet saw that he immediately took it and said to me: go take this to your teacher. and he said: I looked at him and said: ya, rasulullah, um, this is nice, what is this going to do?

It was exactly 40 ups exactly what he demanded so he said he finally let me go and said I never missed a mashhad, I never missed an event alongside prophet sallam after that day I will tell you one more story subhanallah and then We will continue insha'allah next week with salman allah and how he now settles in madina alongside the prophet salallahu sallam and I want you to appreciate for a moment in this situation that salman de allahu ta'ala is what they call him. the father of the two books, salman, is the only man possibly in the world who is a bible scholar, a quran scholar and a zoroastrian scripture scholar, he speaks arabic, persian, hebrew and aramaic fluently and knows all the books and everything. from the scriptures and all the arguments and according to the imam and now rahim allah the first mutation the first person to translate the quran translated parts of the quran into persian in the name of the prophet salallahu a unique man a very strange person subhanallah who ends up in medina with this aura that surrounds him and he has gone through what no other companion has gone through to be alongside the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and he has never been in a battle alongside the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and then the first battle he will witness Es Handak is where The largest army that the Arabs have ever amassed has gathered around Medina to wipe out Prophet Salla Sam and his companions as if I had missed the dormitory and now here I am and I am with Prophet Saws and his companions.

What are we? By the way, the largest army in the world in the Arab world that we have ever seen, they have all gotten together and they are going to eliminate us now, they have decided to surround us from all directions and eliminate us. You are done and the prophet saw asking the companions: give me your opinion, give me your opinion, give me your opinion, what do we do, the main discussion is: do we fight against them inside the city, do we plant garbage inside Medina, do we hide inside our homes and we try? To fight that way or we go out like we did in uh uh we consider the outskirts of the city and we fight them outside and we keep them away we keep the women and children inside and we fight them outside what do we do? what do we do what do we do I have an idea says what is the idea that we in persia said when the Romans gather against us what we would do is build the trench a hunduc and the word khandak is an Arabic ananthasi the same thing I guess the word has a bit of variation because I know someone is going to check me after this, but we would build this trench, so he said, rasulullah madina is situated perfectly between two haras.

Do you remember what the teacher told him in a program? You have these two. lava fields on each side of the medina, so they will not be able to ride their horses over it. All you have to do is build a trench across the two haras and then there will be natural vegetation on the other side as a result of that. you are covered from all four directions ya rasulullah and that will slow down his army and all you have to do at that time is fight khandak's army subhanallah salman says this, all the sahabah look at salman and see the pleasure of prophet salla sallam how the prophet saw islam he was satisfied with the opinion of salvation and the ansar and the muhajin start walking and say this is our guy because salman is an unclaimed man he doesn't have a tribe so different tribes start to say salman is one of us salman is one of us this this idea came from us the ansah this idea came from us this is benue so and so and the prophet saw he looks at him and says he said no, no salman is mine, he is of the people of my house, Salman is a family, so a journey of truth that took him from the son of the leader in asbahan in persia around the fire through the entire world to the house of prophet salaam and rasulallah.

I am looking at him and saying and his strategy of how to build the trench was the means by which Allah protected the people of Medina from being annihilated because from a numerical perspective that army was much smaller than the one that came from the outskirts following ahud , we asked. allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be pleased with salman be pleased with the companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam send his peace and blessings to the messenger to meet our beloved messengers we ask from far away in persia to be right in front of the messenger and be pleased with the sight of the prophet saws and we ask Allah to please us with the sight of our beloved prophet, salallahu sallam,while he is pleased with us, we ask Allah to grant us sincerity in jud in the struggle and to grant us hidayah and guidance, sabbath and steadfastness on the right path throughout our journey, Allah, next week we will continue with the other side of Salman Allah and his rarely told story, what is his way back to Persia, so inshallah next week. please join us
