When Fire Consumed the Stolen Golden Calf
The Miraculous Consumption of Stolen War Booty - Hadith from Riyadul Saliheen
Summary
This lecture discusses a hadith from Riyadul Saliheen about the Prophet Muhammad's encounter with theft (ghulul) among the spoils of war. The speaker explains how the Prophet gathered all the war booty in one place and called upon representatives from each tribe to swear an oath. When theft was discovered, fire miraculously descended and consumed the stolen golden calf head, revealing the thief. The lecture contrasts this with the story of the Children of Israel and their worship of the golden calf, emphasizing how Allah made the spoils of war permissible for this Ummah as a special privilege after it was forbidden for previous nations.
