so this next narration is actually
almost identical to the narration of
azerbaijari
but there's something special to it as
well it's narrated by uh
it's also mentioned by the likes of
however it doesn't have an authentic
chain to the prophet saws so it can't be
attributed to the prophet salem so
the story has great benefit in it
primarily because of the lesson of dua
which we'll find in it but at the same
time we don't trace it back to the
prophet's license
so this narration is about a man by the
name of abu mir al-ansari
and abu mir allah
was known as a merchant
who was distinguished with his ibadah
and distinguished with his integrity so
he's known for his worship he is known
for his integrity and business
says that he was out on business one day
when an armed robber comes up to him and
confronts him
the armed robber says to him
he said go ahead and give me everything
you have because i'm going to kill you
okay or else i'm going to kill you
now
he responds it says
he says take all of my money i'll give
you everything that you asked for but
why do you want to kill me you know one
of the signs of the day of judgment is
what that neither the murderer nor the
one who is being murdered understand why
the murder is taking place right just
killing becomes so prevalent that people
kill just because right so he's saying
to him
why do you want to kill me i'm going to
give you everything that i have
and there is no need for that and the
robber says the money is mine anyway but
i want to kill you anyway subhanallah
with no enmity and this is of course the
hardness of the heart
uh you know where you see a serial
killer who finds absolutely no
hesitation anymore and just shedding
blood for the sake of it
he says to him listen
if you're going to kill me anyway will
you give me permission to pray a few
rakaas and in his narration he says four
raka's so let me let me just pray
as you kill me so the man laughs at him
and he says
he says prayer really he says
it go ahead and pray as much as you want
i'll let you pray as much as you want
but i'm going to kill you anyway
he makes
the man gives him the ability to make
and to perform salah
and then in his sajdah and this is why
the scholars really narrate the story in
his sajdah he calls out to allah
subhanahu ta in his prostration and he
says ya wadudu
[Music]
and he calls out to allah with this name
three times and he says the one who
possesses the mighty throne and he calls
out to
allah the one who does as he pleases and
he says i ask you by your honor that
none can hope to have no one can have
there isn't that you have oh allah
and by your kingdom that no one can take
away from
and by your light that fills the arkhan
that fills the pillars of your throne
subhanallah what a beautiful
the light that is within the pillars the
foundations of your arsh he said i ask
you o allah to protect me from this list
from this robber and he says
o
helper do help me oh helper help me oh
help her help me save me o allah
subhanallah this dura has all the
meanings i mean things that are taken
from the sunnah the prophet's islam but
it comes from the heart and it's a very
beautifully constructed dura in a moment
that is very traumatic so when he made
this dura
a rider a horseman suddenly appears with
a spear held high above his head
and just like in the case of zeidal
i am an angel
from the 4th heaven he said when you
made the first dua he said the doors of
the heavens rattled subhanallah
like there was a rattling of the gates
of the heavens and he said and when you
called out to allah with the same door
at the second time he said i heard the
inhabitants of the heavens cry out and
they said
that this is a person who's calling upon
allah the third time
it was announced
of someone that is in distress so i
asked permission from allah subhanahu
ta'ala to grant me the ability to kill
the robber and allah subhanahu ta'ala
sent me to you subhanallah
says who answers the caller when they
call out to allah and removes that
distress now
there is so much to talk about here it's
very similar to zedra the
but of course there's the
however i want to actually make a point
about the dura itself as beautiful as it
sounds a person could take that dirac
just like any dua from the sun of the
prophet sallam and this is of course
even of a lesser status right then
authentically narrated from the prophet
saws and say this is the one that's
going to save me but the reality is what
that when this person who we don't know
much about right they're not of the
status of being like zayd
but when this person called upon allah
sincerely then the sincerity of that
dura manifested in such a beautiful way
a way that we can still admire today
however
what is the reality of the status of
this dua it's what the prophet saws said
that the
person
of someone who is being wronged there is
no hijab there is no veil between that
supplication and allah
even if that person is a disbeliever if
allah hears the dura
of a person who is a disbeliever but
they call upon allah and they are
actually wronged and they are affirming
the oneness of god in the capacity of
that supplication what then of a man
what then of a believer who is in the
midst of being wrong and that believer
calls out to allah subhanahu ta'ala with
the most sincere of dua's and in words
that are not scripted but are laced with
the sincerity that causes one
supplication to be answered
