Stash head Continuing in real the last narration of the chapter regarding repentance narration number 24 on the authority of who narrates that the messenger of Allah said Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala will smile smile at two men, one of which will have killed the other, yet both will enter paradise. Then he goes on to explain how this happens. He says the first is fighting for the sake of Allah and is martyed and then Allah forgives, accepts the repentance of the killer who then enters into Islam and then is subsequently martyed himself. This narration was collected by both bkari and Muslim with the majority of the scholars of hadith. When they say agreed upon, what's meant is that it was both collected by Bkari and Muslim. It was collected by both Bkari and Muslim in their authentic compilations. So, Bkari has many books. Muslim has many books. If Muslim reports a narration or Al Bkari reports that same narration in other than their authentic compilations, it's not agreed upon. It's only agreed upon when it's both collected by Bkari and Muslim. Both narrations are in Bkari and Muslim with chains of narration. So here we have a narration on the authority of Abi in which Noah we at first glance can't really see the reason why he placed this narration in this chapter. It's not readily apparent as to why it is he mentions this narration in this chapter. Except for the statement of the prophet Sam meaning that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgives and accepts the repentance of the killer. However, when we look at the spirit of the narration, what do we understand from the spirit of the narration? The spirit of the narration tells us that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala may have things in store for someone who in the moment would seem to be hellbound. Would seem to be hellbound. There are few sins more great than killing a Muslim. There are few sins more great than being in an army that kills Muslims, fighting against the Muslims, fighting against Islam. This is a terrible situation for a person to be in. One of the worst situations to find oneself in any situation on this earth. However, in spite of the circumstances, this man just killed a Muslim in battle. Not because he's angry, not because of just any reason. He killed him because this person was fighting for Islam and he is fighting against Islam actively. And so this man's blood is now the blood of a martyr and his killer has committed one of the greatest sins possible for a human being to commit. However, in spite of these circumstances, there's still hope for this person. Yes, he just killed a Muslim in battle actively fighting against Islam. This is a terrible situation, but there's still hope for this person. As long as a person as we read in the earlier narrations in the chapter that Allah accepts the repentance of a servant of a slave as long as he is not in his death rattle in the thro thrashes of death and so as long as there is breath in a person's breast As long as they have not reached that that time just before the soul is is taken from the body, there's still hope. No matter how bleak the situation seems and hopeless. What is the Quran? What is it? It's a book of hope. That's why Allah calls it and refers to it as light. And that light pierced the darkness that humanity was in that seemed to be unfixable. The prophet sallall.aii wasallam himself said.

[Silence]

Sai wasallam. The prophet sallall.aii wasallam said that before he sent the prophet Muhammad he looked upon the people of earth and he hated them all Arab and non-Arab alike. What does that mean? Hated them all. Meaning that they were upon misguidance. They were in a society that they have committed crime and they have committed atrocities and and heinous acts and indecency so much that it became part of their pride and culture. When we look at the ways of the people of Jahyah, they were worshiping idols. They were making around the Kaa, the house of Allah in the nude, claiming that this is something Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has told them to do. How could it get worse than that? Worshiping everything except for Allah. fearing magicians and soothsayers, believing in anyone who comes to pull their ear. they were in a in a in a time when part of their culture was the thought the thinking was that look if a man's father passes away who is more rightful to his wives his son. even if it's his own mother. When men were bedding with each other, when animals were being consummated with, it was a time of incredible darkness. However, in spite of that darkness, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent the Quran. And in 23 short years, look what humanity became. And so here we have a very bleak situation. We have a man who has has been sent to paradise. He is martyed. And then we have his killer who has seemingly already earned his definite ticket to the hellfire. However, Allah has a plan for this man. Why does Allah forgive some and not others? Oh, Adam, this is something that goes back to Allah's wisdom. This is something that goes back to Allah's wisdom. Here we have Abu Talib. He helps the Muslim. He protects the prophet Sam. Wasam. He starves alongside the Muslim for three years and he goes to hell. Then we have a man on the converse who kills a Muslim in battle and he goes to paradise. This is what this goes back to the wisdom of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So the point here is that Allah subhanahu waala will smile upon two men on the day of judgment. One of which has killed the other, both of which will enter paradise. And so what is meant here by smile is one of those words that has changed its meaning in our tongue in Arabic over the years. When we say in modern Arabic, what does it mean? It usually means laughter. And when we say smile, we'd say, right? However, in the Arabic language, the ancient Arabic language, a bahik is smiling to where the teeth will show or smiling wide. A a smile. This is what a smile is. This is what is. Now, we understand what is and what it means in the Arabic language. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said it Allah will smile upon two men. However, how will Allah smile? This is the domain of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And it is not permissible even for a Muslim who exalts Allah as he is due to ask how does Allah do anything of his names and attributes because it's inconceivable to the human being Allah rose above the throne. He said it in his book in eight different places. What does that mean? How did he rise above the throne? This is inconceivable. And we will end with a statement from Malik. A man came to him and said, for.

[Silence]

A man came to him and asked Alman rose above the throne. How did he rise above the throne? Notice the the question here. He rose above the throne. How? How? This articulates an arrogance from the human being who asks such a question. The mere idea that I could know with my little brain how Allah, the creator of the heavens and the earth does what he does. So, I im Malik responded and said, "Rising above is known." meaning in the Arabic language. It's understood. How is inconceivable to the human being and belief in it is obligatory because it's in the Quran and asking about it is an innovation. Why is it an innovation? because the companions all unanimously agreed on not asking this question. You could take any attribute or action of Allah that's mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah and place it in this response and Foreham.

Alhamdulill.
