Surah Qassas 28 v7-8 Session 2

The Mother of Prophet Musa (A.S) was inspired.

A midwife from the people of Fir'awn becomes deeply attached to the new born Musa (A.S).

A carpenter attempts to alert the authorities of the new born but fails.

'We will return him to you'

Moo means water in Koptic.

Sa means rescue in Koptic.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S37)

The firaun of this Ummah, Abu Jahl, told the Quraysh to continue on and fight, leading his people to loss, just like firaun led his people to loss all those years before.

2 tribes split off, Banu Zuhra and Banu Adee. They did not go with Abu Jahl.

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى sent down 1,000 Angels (a.s). 500 were led by Jibra’eel (a.s) and 500 were led by Mika’eel (a.s).

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S36)

The Messenger ﷺ sent Ali, Sa’ad Ibn Abi Waqaas and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم to a well. They found 2 men there.

Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه had his own spy network, he found about the Messenger ﷺ. Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه sent a messenger to the Quraysh asking for reinforcements. However, when Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه got the caravan to safety, he told the Quraysh you no longer need to come. The Quraysh breathed a sigh of relief, for who would want to fight their own family?

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S35)

Zubayr رضي الله عنه participated in every battle with the Messenger ﷺ. To take a look into his (رضي الله عنه) jihad.

Badr wasn’t planned. The intention was to get the caravan, so the Muslims could get back what they lost.

The Messenger ﷺ only had 2 horsemen in the battle of Badr. To his ﷺ right was Zubayr رضي الله عنه and to his ﷺ left was Miqdaad Ibn al-Aswad رضي الله عنه. Zubayr رضي الله عنه was ~23 years old here. He received 4 shares from the spoils, 2 for his horse, one for himself and one for his mother رضي الله عنهم.

3 men from Banu Asad participated at Badr: Zubayr, Haatib Ibn Abi Baltaha and his servant, Sa’ad رضي الله عنهم.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S34)

Zubayr and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنهم were given concessions so that they could wear silk, this was because they had a problem with lice and would get itchy skin. They wore silk shirts during travel. (Imam Bukhari (r.h) records this in the chapter of Jihad).

The Messenger ﷺ said whoever wears silk in this life will not wear it in the next life. Thus, It is only permissible for men to wear it for health reasons.

Wearing gold and silk is permissible for women.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S33)

Abdullah Ibn Mubarak (r.h) said Surah [24:22] is the verse that gives us the most hope. Part of the verse: “Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love to be forgiven by Allah? And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful”.

The Messenger ﷺ said whoever doesn’t show mercy won’t be shown mercy and whoever doesn’t forgive others won’t be forgiven.

We must conceal the sins of our brothers and sisters and make excuses for them.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S32)

Due to Zubayr’s رضي الله عنه Taqwa, he narrated few Hadith. He رضي الله عنه said: “I was always with him (ﷺ), but I heard him (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, has reserved himself a seat in the fire’.”.

Zubayr رضي الله عنه told us to do secret deeds, just as we commit sins in secret.

The Messenger ﷺ: “Strive to perfect your deeds”

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S31)

The first thing we will be questioned about (of the blessings we received) on Qiyamah will be our health and cold water.

We should show gratitude for all the blessings Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى Has given us by reciting Surah 102, At-Takathur. Reciting this is like you have recited 1,000 verses.

Surah 99, Al-Zalzalah. This Surah is equivalent to half of the Qur’an.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S30)

Abdullah Ibn Jafar رضي الله عنهم first married Zainab bint Ali رضي الله عنهم. When Zainab passed away, he married her sister Umm Kulthoom bint Ali رضي الله عنهم. Thus, Abdullah married 2 granddaughters رضي الله عنهم of the Messenger ﷺ.

A glimpse into Zubayr’s رضي الله عنه Taqwa: Surah [39:31]: “Then on the Day of Judgment you will ˹all settle your˺ dispute before your Lord”. Zubayr رضي الله عنه asked if our disputes will be replayed before us on Qiyamah, the Messenger ﷺ said yes. Zubayr رضي الله عنه said indeed, this is a most serious matter.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه

(S29)

Zubayr رضي الله عنه had many properties. Abdullah Ibn Zubayr رضي الله عنهم began clearing the debt. Hakeem ibn Hizaam رضي الله عنه told Abdullah رضي الله عنه if he needs any help, he can ask him.

Zubayr’s رضي الله عنه entire estate was worth around ~50,000,000. He رضي الله عنه said a third is for the poor. He had 4 wives رضي الله عنهم who received ~1.2 million each.
