There are many who know of his existence but not many who know about his impact. most spiritually in terms of the legacy he left behind for the religion of Islam but at the same time in terms of his own character from which there are so many lessons that can be learnt which can be applied to our everyday lives. When people go and visit his shrine in Baghdad it is unbelievable to see the number of people who visit his shrine without knowing absolutely anything about his life. There are many who will go towards the shrine, stand there and pay their salutations and regards. But you don't see the same emotion shown by them as they show in other places of pilgrimage. And the reason is that many people do not know much about the life of Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far. Had a person studied the life of Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far in depth, then he would show a much greater respect and more emotion than the little emotion that is shown by people who have not studied his life. You find many who go to the shrine in Karth main and will admit that we have been to that shrine, but we do not know much about his life. We stand there, we ask God to forgive us, we ask God to help us without really having studied the person or the persons buried in that shrine. Therefore tonight let us examine this man who was tortured more than any other of the Imam of Al-Muhammad and see what impact his life has on our lives today. The Imam as we said was born on the 7th of Safar. That's why normally the willado or the birth of Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far is hardly celebrated in our communities because Safar is normally a time of grief. It's a time when the family of the Prophet were taken towards the land of Sham. And if when many of our mosques, that period, the 40-day period or in some cases a 68-day period until the Prophet smarter them, you find that many of our mosques will not necessarily honor his birth. He was born on the 7th of Safar in an area by the name of Al-Abwa. Al-Abwa was between Mecca and Medina. مفضل بن Omar narrates that Imam Al-Sadaq, صلى الله عليه وسلم, had a home which was a place where he would visit on his journey for example towards Hajj or on his journey from Mecca back to Medina. مفضل بن Omar says this place was in an area called Al-Abwa. He says I used to remember seeing Imam Al-Sadaq in the middle of the hottest day plowing the earth and working. I would say to him Imam, a man of your knowledge and a man who everybody is willing to work for. Why are you working like this? Why don't you let us do the work for you? To which our sixth Imam replied to مفضل by saying and what is the shame in me earning a lawful living? Just like everybody else, there were prophets who all worked. Prophet Idris was a tailor. Prophet Musa for example had a job in terms of being a shepherd let's say. Prophet Dawood used to make the iron and work with iron. Prophet Jesus was a carpenter. The Holy Prophet himself worked for Khadija. Our sixth Imam said that when I come to Al-Abwa I plough the earth so I earn a lawful living for myself as well. Just because I'm a man of knowledge does not mean I can't earn a living as well. I like you want to earn a living. I like you want to be someone who can afford to buy what you are buying as well. And you found that it was in this area Al-Abwa that Imam Al-Sadaq the narration tells us was sitting with Abu Basir. Abu Basir said we had our breakfast. He says Imam Al-Sadaq used to have the most grand breakfast.  He said all of a sudden someone came to Imam Al-Sadaq and said to him Your wife Hamida is now facing the moments of labor and she wants you to be by her side. Imam Al-Sadaq left them. He went towards Hamida and he came back later and he said I have glad tidings. That Allah has given me the best gift.  And therefore I have decided to name him Musa. The only Imam of the Imam Zubah Al-Bayt who you find is named after a Prophet of God previous to the Holy Prophet is Imam Musa Bin Ja'far. Therefore you find Imam Musa Bin Ja'far his father was Ja'far bin Muhammad. His mother was Hamida. Hamida was from North Africa. Someone asked the question Why would Imam Al-Sadaq marry a woman from Africa? As in doesn't Imam Al-Sadaq have enough women to choose from in Medina? And on top of that Imam Al-Sadaq is a Sayyid. He's from the line of Amir al-Mu'mineen. Aren't Sayyids only meant to marry Sayyidas? Because would you believe in some of our communities today?  The son says but dad I found a girl who is a good girl with good piety, with humility, with forbearance. Who's generous? No we are Sayyids. We only marry Sayyids. If Imam Al-Sadaq believed in this why did Imam Al-Sadaq marry a lady from North Africa? Imam Al-Sadaq could have easily turned around and said I am the son of Muhammad Al-Baqar. Who is the son of Zayn al-A'bideen? Who is the son of Ali ibn al-Hussein? Who is the son of Hussein? Who is the son of Ali? He could have easily, I am from that line. I have to marry only from that lineage on the country. Imam Al-Sadaq ends up marrying someone from North Africa. Let's say from the area between Morocco and Tunisia. Imam Al-Sadaq could have easily turned around and said I'll marry from Medina. But Imam was highlighting to us in Islam we do not have this thing where you only marry someone from your caste. There is no such thing. In Islam you can marry someone who is of your religion but of a different cultural background. Someone whose race may be different to your race. When Imam marries someone from North Africa someone could easily turn around and say Imam Al-Sadaq, why are you marrying people of different races? We are Arabs, we only marry Arabs. On the country the Imam what was he trying to show us? The Imam was trying to show us never reach a stage in your communities where you have an inch of racism in your waist.  What does your lineage go back to? You find that that's quite a strong statement but Imam Musab Najafar's mother is Hamida. Hamida is from North Africa. You find therefore that this Hamida Imam Al-Sadaq used to praise her very highly. Imam Al-Sadaq used to say Hamida Allah is pleased with her and she is pleased with whatever Allah has given her. And further than this Imam Al-Sadaq used to also say to the ladies of Medina whenever you have a question to ask don't ask me, ask my wife Hamida because my wife answers in exactly the same way I answer. Imagine Hamida can answer a question like Imam Al-Sadaq. At what level must Hamida be? Do you know what level? It's when a husband and wife's relationship moves forward together in our communities today. Either the husband is too religious and the wife isn't. Or the wife is too religious and the husband isn't. And what you find unfortunately is this causes a bit of friction at home. Sometimes the balance doesn't need to mean both of them have to be religious but that both of them are trying to become more and more religious. Today sometimes what you find one is too religious the other isn't interested in the religion and there becomes a friction at home. Imam Al-Sadaq when he married Hamida he could have easily said I'm the Imam, I'm knowledgeable you just act as my wife. No, this wife of mine both of us will become religious together. Both of us will gain knowledge of each other.   Imam Musa Al-Qadim at the age of five was teaching Abu Hanifa lessons about Islam. Would you believe this or no? If you go to Pakistan and India and you ask the people what is your jurisprudence and they reply to you we are Hanafi say to them did you know not only that Imam Al-Sadaq taught Abu Hanifa but that if Imam Al-Sadaq used to be busy Imam Al-Qadim at the age of five used to answer on his behalf Abu Hanifa comes home one day to Imam Al-Sadaq he knocks on the door and Imam Al-Sadaq emerges when Imam Al-Sadaq and Imam Al-Qadim emerges when Imam Al-Qadim emerges when Imam Al-Kadim comes home he says yes he is just a bit busy Abu Hanifa said then I'll wait Imam Al-Qadim said is there anything I can help you with? Abu Hanifa said no no I think your dad can answer it for me he said no no ask me he said young man Musa when we commit a sin is it Allah who makes us sin?  It's a question many of us ask isn't it. When I commit a sin is Allah making me sin? Is it me and Allah or do I have the freedom of choice. إمام موسى بن جعفر said oh Abu Hanifa and no one thing that Abu Hanifa was at an old age when إمام موسى بن جعفر answered him with this.  If it is us and Allah once again it's not fair that we are punished when he was part of the crime therefore it is us who have been given the choice of free will. We can either stay away from sin or we can continue sinning. Imagine Abu Hanifa at his old age إمام موسى بن جعفر at the age of five is already answering questions for him. Then on another occasion you find Abu Hanifa comes to إمام الصادق one day. He says to him جعفر بن محمد I saw your son موسى الكاثن praying today. I saw him but I don't think he knows how to pray properly. إمام الصادق looked at him he said what do you mean? He said when I walked past him in Salah when someone walked past him in Salah he didn't stick his hand out our brothers in other schools in Islam. If you walk past them in Salah do not be surprised if their hand comes out like that. The reason is understandable that they say that you shouldn't walk past someone in Salah try and walk behind them. Sometimes you will walk past and inadvertently you will see someone who will actually put their hand out like that. So he said to إمام جعفر الصادق. He said to him موسى الكاثن the young boy doesn't know how to read his prayers properly. Go and teach him.  Teach you go and teach him. Abu Hanifa said very well. He came to إمام موسى ابن جعفر. إمام is young 5 years old. He said to him young man I need to teach you about Salah. إمام جعفر صدق. Go ahead. He said when someone walks past you in your Salah you must put your hand out and block them when they walk past you. Because I just saw someone walk past you now and you didn't bother blocking them. إمام موسى ابن جعفر said oh Abu Hanifa. Allah says that he is closer to me than my juggler vein. While I was praying I was so focused on my Lord. I didn't see any human being walk past me. Therefore you find at that young age إمام موسى ابن جعفر from the student of his dad and his African mother Hamida was able to achieve this prowess. And that's why many people were in awe of the young إمام موسى ابن جعفر. I tell you many people used to love him because they saw a young man who had all the pleasures of the world in front of him but went towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى. The Holy Prophet used to say Allah loves to see nothing more than a youth who turns away from all of these forbidden acts and turns towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى. إمام موسى ابن جعفر at a young age you find that there was a small house. People would say when we walk past the small house we know that the young موسى ابن جعفر would be in that house and we could hear him reciting his prayers in the most beautiful voice and you could see the tears coming down from his eyes and you would hear him say يا محسن قد أتاك المسي.  The sinner has come to you. You find here that from that young age he was in this small house and you know what the irony is?  Do you know how many caliphs he lived under? He lived under the caliphs of Safah and Mansour and under Al-Hadi and under Al-Mahdi and under Harun Rashid All of them had palaces. Wallah if you go to Baghdad Go and see the palaces of all of these khulafa You see for example دار الرقيق You see قص الخل You see قص الشاكرية All of these palaces and إمام موسى ابن جعفر had a small house Today in Baghdad I asked those people Where are all their palaces and look at the grand palace of إمام موسى ابن جعفر إمام موسى ابن جعفر Therefore at that young age he had that ability where he was already in his closeness in his piety in his worship of Allah And that's why what you find You find إمام موسى ابن جعفر was 20 years old when his father died When إمام مصادق died Mansour tried to play a trick but Mansour destroyed him Mansour when إمام مصادق died decided that these إمامs have to be killed off from the beginning There's no point letting them live So Mansour wrote to his governor in Medina He said I have heard the news that جعفر ابن محمد has died Find out in his وصية Who has he written to be the leader after him and behead the person Mansour in Medina was called Sulayman Sulayman got the will of إمام مصادق When he got the will Sulayman said to me look who's he written Okay إمام مصادق has done this Make sure you pray Salah Make sure you bury me Make sure make sure And my successor is My successes are five Mansour الدوانيط سبحان الله I tell you these إمامs We have them as a source of pride Success number one Mansour الدوانيط Number two Sulayman The one who's reading it This person his face became blue after he read this Success number three عبد الله Success number four حميدة Success number five إمام مصادق جعفر Now Sulayman is thinking What do I do As in number one Mansour is saying Behead whoever is on this list And I am on this list And Mansour is on the list And موسى ابن جعفر is on the list And also حميدة إمام مصادق So I am on the list عبد الله is on the list So he wrote back to Mansour دوانيط Mansour دوانيط Has there any post come Has there any post come His seven said yes One letter came today He said give it to me quickly The letter is إمام مصادق Written down Who his successor is meant to be Mansour is like continue What does it say Mansour دوانيط number one Sulayman number two عبد الله Mansour said wait wait wait What are you talking about He said master you said behead whoever it is You are one of them Mansour said very well leave these people alone Leave them Because if I have to behead the others That means I have to get someone to behead me as well If we are going to act out the will الحمد لله إمام موسى بن جعفر When this happened Was allowed to begin his إمامة At the age of twenty And what do you find When he begun his إمامة The first thing people noticed In his إمامة Was that He was a man Who was able to restrain his anger However much disrespect You showed him Because I tell you When we say his title is Al-Qawam Do you know what Al-Qawam means In the Quran in Chapter 3 verse 134 There is the verse which says وَالْكَارْفَ مِنَ الْغَيْرْبَ وَمْ مِنْسْ دَوَنْ Who is able to restrain his anger In a moment of difficulty إمام موسى بن جعفر When they called him Al-Qawam Do you know why Because when he received the إمامة at the age of twenty There were people who used to insult him And curse him And never in his life Did he ever reply back to them And that's why each one of us Should be Al-Qawam There's no point saying السلام عليك يا موسى بن جعفر If we don't have Al-Qawam in our life How many of us have an anger problem When you look in the mirror Sometimes don't you admit You have an anger problem And then when you have That anger problem Ask yourself Why am I not like my إمام موسى بن جعفر Al-Qawam When he was Al-Qawam Allah praised him by saying He's a man when he's angry He restrains Because one day إمام موسى بن جعفر is walking This man came up to him And said to him Curse on your father and on you Honestly How do you reply to people like this I don't know Is this a human or an animal Curse be on you and on your father The companions of إمام موسى بن جعفر Wanted to approach the man Wait wait wait Leave him Finished He said to me Curse on me and my father Leave him A couple of days later إمام موسى بن جعفر Said how do you think We should approach this man And it is vital When we hear these stories Of the Ahl al-Bait Let's implement their Attributes in our life Please Al-Qawam Restraining our anger He asked his companions How should we treat this man Who cursed إمام صانق and cursed me They said إمام we should punish him We should attack him We should confiscate his He said no He said Leave this man to me A few days later إمام walked towards The garden of this man He inquired about him They said he's in his garden إمام walked towards The garden of this man When he walked towards This garden As he entered the garden The man said What are you doing here You son of إمام looked at him And said what's the problem He said you've already Damaged my garden With your footsteps إمام said to him How much have you spent On this garden He said 100 ديناب He said how much Do you expect to make from it He said 200 ديناب He said here take When the man counted it It was exactly 300 ديناب The man looked at إمام القعب And he said but look at The way I cursed you I cursed جعفر الصادق And I cursed you He said We the أحل البيتر Been taught to instil أخلاق Not only in the lives Of the people But in our life as well I could easily reply Back to you But I want you to understand That as humanity We can never survive If each one of us Is going to attack each other like that People would call him Al-Qa'um Another person would say I saw him as Al-Qa'um One day In his house Someone dropped Water all Over his عباه That person looked at And said بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الكاظمين الغيض إمام said I have restrained my anger والعافينا عن الناس إمام said I have forgiven you والله يحب المحسنين إمام said I have freed you For the sake of Allah That attribute of إمام الكاظم Was at the beginning of his life And later He would need it When he was imprisoned For more than 15 years of his life But it was that attribute Where people would then Respect him in his knowledge Do you know why If your أخلاق is good People will listen to your knowledge If your knowledge is good Without أخلاق No one will listen to you إمام موسم الجعفر First had to establish to the people That you can see my morals Now trust me When I have knowledge I am sincere In giving you this knowledge That's why one day إمام موسم الجعفر Is walking He goes past the house Where music is being played When he walks past the house Where music is being played He sees the lady Sweeping the floor Outside the house He says to her May I ask you a question She says go ahead He said Is the owner of the house A free man or a slave She said to him Of course he is a free man إمام replied yes Definitely because If he was a slave He'd know Which master was watching him She heard him And she thought You know I've never thought About it like this If truly I am An abd of Allah Then how am I not respecting My master By playing music at home Do you know what the narration say She went back in the house Her husband said to her What happened She said oh I was just talking To someone outside The husband said What did the person say She said I don't know He looked like a very humble man And he just asked me a question The husband said What was the question She said the question was Is the owner of the house Where music is being played Is the owner of the house A free man or a slave So I said to him Is the free man So he said What did he say then She said I heard him say Yes definitely He is a free man Because if he was a slave He'd know That the master was watching him That person said Can you describe him to me She said yes He had this complexion And this look And this beard And this height He said that is Musa بن جعفر He ran out of the house Without even wearing his slippers He ran and looked for Imam Musa بن جعفر Until he found him He said Oh Imam forgive me Well I have never thought of music The way you said it In the past I heard people say Music is Haram But it didn't convince me But the way you described It makes sense How can I play music In a house And I claim to be a servant Of Allah سبحانه وتعالى That person That person Do you know what the Imam said to me He said You regret it And you perform Toba Allah will forgive you That person today The Sufis respect him very highly They call him بشر الحافي الحافي in Arabic Means the one Who walks barefooted They call him بشر الحافي Because he ran out Of his house To Musa بن جعفر Barefooted But look at the lesson Imam Musa بن جعفر Taught He didn't say to him Straight in his face Music is Haram You're going to be punished If you listen to music No He said How in Salah Are you saying That you are an abd of Allah Yet in your house You are listening to the people Who oppose Allah سبحانه وتعالى Today In Muslim households Or in Muslim weddings Or in Muslim gatherings Music it's normal For a Muslim to come And play music And when you see them And you say Music that's being played They say Well you know what At the end of the day It's a celebration day And it's a one-off occasion I remember one scholar saying That they said to me When I asked them On the first son's wedding What is this The father said You know it's my first son Please When it was the second son The father said You know it's my second son When it was the third son The father said You know this is the last one And that's it There's none after this You want to begin Your first day In Halalo In Haram You find Imam Musabn Ja'far Said is the house A person free or a slave If he is a slave of Allah He would never play such a thing In other words What did you find Whenever Imam Musabn Ja'far Would advise There was a rational side To his advice But truly That aspect of him Being Qadim Was needed in his life Why Because I tell you The amount of oppression They showed The Shi'a At that time Was phenomenal There has never Been a period In Islamic history When the Shi'a Of all Muhammad Has been oppressed Like when Imam Musabn Ja'far was Imam I tell you If you were to read The Khulafa Who he had to live under Shi'a could not even Practice their faith Do you know How the Shi'a To practice They had to employ Taqiyah Taqiyah Is when you Conceal your belief Because you are A state of life or death Amongst the people Who had to perform Taqiyah Because of that time You found many of The great companions Of Imam Al-Qadim Ibrahim Al-Juafi Ahmed Al-Halabi Ahmed Al-Bazan Tee Amongst others Had to conceal their faith Because of Imam Musabn Ja'far And because of the Caliphs of the time Because you know What these caliphs Were doing These caliphs Were terrorizing Of Al-Muhammad Do you know Imam Al-Rada Has a hadith When I read it I couldn't believe the hadith And tomorrow Insha'Allah We discuss Imam Al-Rada Imam Al-Rada Says That if it wasn't For the event of Karbala The worst tragedy To have affected Our Ahl al-Bayt Was the tragedy of Fakh When I read Fakh I decided to go and do My research What is the tragedy of Fakh For Imam Al-Rada To say The worst tragedy Which affected Our Ahl al-Bayt Was the tragedy of Fakh دعب البن علي الخزاعي Even has poetry About their graves in Fakh Do you know What happened in Fakh After Al-Mansour Died Who became the caliphs You had the brothers You had Hadi And Mehdi Hadi العباسي Had a governor In Medina Who used to To oppress the Shi'a so much That he made them Every morning And every evening If you were a Shi'a Living in Medina You had to come to his palace And sign up Sign up What does sign up mean Means you literally Just have to come sign your name So he knows That what you're doing Or where you're hiding Or what your movements are Every Shi'a Man Woman Child Has to come In the morning Has to come In the evening And sign in the palace In that time The cousins of Imam Musa Hussein بن علي الخير حسن العباس This governor of Medina The governor of Hadi Called حسن العباس And whipped him 200 times In public For being A follower of أهل البيت And on top of that He spread out To the people That this man Because we caught him Drinking We have to punish him And we need to Parade his body On a donkey حسن بن علي الخير Cousin of Imam Musa When to this governor He said listen Number one I know my cousin Was not drinking Number two The punishment for drinking Alcohol in Islam Is 80 lashes Why have you punished Him 200 lashes Number three In Islam You don't parade A body on a donkey That person said to him Who are you To speak to me like that You and your Shi'a Can't even practice Your faith in my time You have to come to my palace In the morning And in the evening Get out This Hussein بن علي الخير Decided to tell all the Shi'a Rise Let's not sit and watch This person is torturing us And we should not Just sit there And watch this oppression The narration was But حسن العباس Went to the top of this man's palace He removed him He said حي على الصلاة حي على الفلاح حي على خير العمل Everyone rise The family of Ahlul Bait Rose Under the leadership of Hussein And Hussein's sister Zainab Do you see how History repeats itself A hundred years after Karbala From the grandsons Zainab from the granddaughters This Hussein raises All of Ahlul Muhammad 232 Members of Ahlul Muhammad Went to rise Against these people And you know what that Hussein told Zainab Subhanallah How History repeats itself Hussein told Zainab He said to our my sister Zainab When the blood reaches Your ankles Then this paper of our followers Let it go with the blood Because we don't want Our followers If we die To be caught When Hussein got killed That governor Do you know what he did He took all the children Of Ahlul Muhammad who survived He took them To Baghdad To the Khalifa of the time Al-Hadi All these children Were sitting in front of Al-Hadi Imagine You've got lots of children Of Ahlul Bait Grandchildren of Bibi Fatima All of them in front of Al-Hadi Al-Hadi looked at them He said They said They said They said They said Oh They are the ones related To Musa Al-Naja'far He said yes He said Very well Bring me a sword They said To what are you going to do He said I want you to make them All stand next to each other Let's see How many heads I can cut At the same time Today You have followers Of Ahlul Bait Who say It's hard for me To be religious And you don't know Any inch of those Who came before you He got his sword And he beheaded them One by one The grand children Of Fatima to Zahra Imam Al-Rada Said If not for the incident Of Karbala The worst incident To affect us Was the incident of Fakh And other In Fakh Graves Which survived In Fakh When this Hadi He told everyone He said I swear This whole uprising Is because of Musa Ben-Ja'far Abu Yusuf Al-Qadi Was there He said No Musa Ben-Ja'far I can swear on my children Musa Ben-Ja'far Did not tell anyone to rise This Hadi Said Don't worry I'll find Musa Ben-Ja'far And I'll kill him The narration What do they say to us The narration The people of Musa Ben-Ja'far Said to him That Imam Do you know Who said this The father of Be careful This Hadi He wants to come and Find you And he wants to kill you The narration Come and say to us That Imam Musa Ben-Ja'far Said Let me just recite Salah He went to recite Salah Then he recited Then after Finishing Josh and Sahir He said Do not worry You will hear News Shortly That Hadi Just died The news Then came Hadi Just passed away The caliph To treat an Imam Of Ahl al-Bayt Haroon al-Rashid Haroon al-Rashid If he found out That you were Shi'a You were beheaded Haroon al-Rashid Would not allow Anyone to come out And say they were Shi'a Do you know How they used to Have Majalis in those days Look at us today Alhamdulillah Thousands of people Sitting in a lecture Listening to the Majalis of Ahl al-Bayt Do you know In those days What they would do While you are selling The butter You teach your fellow Shi'a About Ahl al-Bayt As soon as the God Of Haroon al-Rashid Works past You then say Okay Three kilograms of butter I will get it for you Don't worry And that's why Some of the greatest Companions Of Imam al-Qadim When Haroon al-Rashid Put Imam al-Qadim In prison Some of his greatest Companions Had to come and ask What shall we do Amongst them Bahlul Do you think Bahlul Is a simple companion Bahlul was a student Of Imam al-Sadaq And Imam al-Qadim Okay Bahlul came To Imam al-Qadim In prison He said Imam Him and two other companions They came To Imam al-Qadim They said Imam You are in prison What shall we do We are your followers How do we Spread your word Imam said Jeem Jeem Imam said jeem The first one thought jeem Part of the Arabic alphabet Alif Ba Ta Ta Jeem The first one thought jeem Means جبل Mountains So we went to live in the mountains The second one thought jeem جلا عن الوطن So we went to live in another country Bahlul said I know what jeem is Jeem is Junoon I'm going to act Majnun Crazy But in my insanity I will spread the word Of Musa Mujafa Do you know what a sacrifice it is To act insane So you protect the teachings of an Imam Do you know what sacrifice that is I don't think we know We don't know what that sacrifice Is brothers and sisters We today When you ask us to be religious I'm not ready yet Ready You think anyone's waiting for you This ship has sailed If you've studied the lives Of the imams And you're still thinking I'm not ready yet There's no one Move away Rather look at someone Like Bahlul and say Bahlul has to act Insane to preserve the teachings And Wallah Bahlul The way he used to act You would see a man Who acts insane But his words are words of wisdom One day Bahlul is sitting down On the throne of Arun Rashid And he's jumping up and down Jumping jumping The people came They started hitting him Bahlul get off And he kept on jumping and jumping On the throne All of a sudden They came they hit him And they removed him He began to cry Arun Rashid walked in He looked at Bahlul crying Said why is Bahlul crying The God said Oh our master He's crying Because he was sitting on your throne And how dare Anyone sit on the throne Of our master Arun Rashid said Bahlul Is that why you're crying He said No He said Then why He said I cry for someone like you How could you sit on the throne Of the sons of Fatamat Is Zahra What will you answer your lord On the day of judgment And then all of a sudden He'll run away on a broomstick Arun Rashid We look at him and think This guy is crazy But we'll also know The bullet hit On another occasion Bahlul tells Arun Rashid Give me the keys To the prisons of Baghdad Please give me them Arun Rashid Is that I just want to play I just want to play Arun Rashid said Okay take them An hour later The Gods come Arun There is trouble Arun Rashid said What's the trouble He says All the prisoners have been released Arun Rashid said Oh my God Bahlul Where is Bahlul They said He's in the graveyard He's sitting down Arun Rashid came up to me Saw Bahlul crying He's like Bahlul Didn't I tell you Don't mess about with these keys Bahlul said Please I'm sorry Please Bahlul then said Is there any way I can be forgiven Arun Rashid said yes Bahlul said What is it He said If you make sure they're all caught Then I'll forgive you Bahlul said Very well Let's stay in this graveyard Because there'll be a day When all of them will come here Arun Rashid One day tells Bahlul Bahlul You are insane I know you're crazy But sometimes you say Some extraordinary things I don't know where you got them from I don't know where you got them from I don't know where you got them from He said Bahlul You know there is Surat On the day of judgment On the day of judgment On the day of judgment How will it feel When we're on that Surat To heaven or hell Bahlul said I don't know He said I don't know He said What is it He said Get me a pot He said Okay I'll get you a pot He bought the pot He said Put some water in the pot He then said to him Light a fire under it Let it boil Arun Rashid Okay We'll boil the water There is fire Bahlul said Now put a plate on top of it On top of the pot Arun Rashid said Okay I'll put this big plate Bahlul said Now we have to play a game He said What is it He said I have to stand on the pot And I have to say What I eat every day And what I drink every day And what I own in this dunya And I have to say it But I can't get off Even though the fire is under me And then you have to get on And you have to say What you eat And what you drink And what you own in this dunya So Bahlul got on He said My name is Bahlul I eat a bit of bread I drink a bit of water And I don't own anything in this dunya And he got off Now it's your turn My name is Arun Rashid I drink Alcohol And I drink And I also eat I eat I eat And I ate Then he jumped off Bahlul said What's wrong We didn't even get to the things you own And you jumped off already So he said What do you mean He said I just get boiled a bit of fire And you couldn't handle it How will you handle this When Allah asks you about your life هل أنت تعتقد أنه يعمل مجدداً لأنه يريد أن يعمل مجدداً لا يريد أن يعمل مجدداً لأنه يريد أن يعمل مجدداً لكنه يعلم إمام موسى بنجعفر يخبره لكي يتواجد التعليق من أهل البيت وكذلك عالي بن يخطين عالي بن يخطين was the minister for Harun Rashid أولاً عندما يأتي إلى أهل البيت إباق رأيت لأمام الكاظم وقال إمام كيف يجب أن أسأل أهل البيت لأوى وظوء إمام موسى الكاظم قابل فيه سنقوم بعمل يوم our waw' by washing our face وهم our hands وهم our washing our head وهم our washing our feet بخطية أو أنت أقل إمام موسى بنجعفر لا ننسى to wash our feet نزيلنا لكن إمام موسى بنجعفر لا يفعل أي مفتوح so what do I do ولكاذا أفعل و Why ? أحد who was jealous of Ali ibn Yaqqeen told Harun Rashid, I think that Ali ibn Yaqqeen is a lover of Musa Al-Kaaf. Harun Rashid said to him why? He said because I've seen him talk about him and he talks about him in a pleasant way. Harun Rashid said Ali ibn Yaqqeen would never leave my way. This is not true. That person said no it is. I promise you it is. Harun Rashid said very well tomorrow I will find out. The person said how? He said we'll go and spy on Ali ibn Yaqqeen in Wawaw. You know there's a moment in your life where you either unconditionally submit to your Imam or you pick and choose what of Islam you like. Isn't it? Ali ibn Yaqqeen is reading a letter where Musa ibn Yaqqeen says to him wash. Ali ibn Yaqqeen knows you have to wipe. But if Musa ibn Yaqqeen says wash then you have to wash. Harun Rashid is watching through the window. Ali ibn Yaqqeen is doing his work. Washes his face, washes his hands, wipes his head and now the crunch time. Do I listen to my Imam or do I make up my own Islam? As he's coming to his feet he says I have to listen to my Imam. He began washing his feet. Harun Rashid said I told you he hasn't joined Musa ibn Yaqqeen. Look he washes his feet like we wash our feet. Imam directed them that do not worry if I'm in prison. You can be my representatives when I'm away. When people today say to me we are with an Imam who's in Ghaibah. We already had an Imam called Musa ibn Jaqfar in Ghaibah. Do you know why he put him in prison? You know why Harun Rashid put him in prison? Two acts. Two reasons. The first reason is Harun Rashid looks at Imam Musa ibn Jaqfar one day.  But these are cousins. Imam Al-Kadum is from the line of Abu Talib. Harun Rashid is from the line of Abbas. Abu Talib and Abbas are brothers but sometimes cousins can hate each other not just love each other. The narration state that Harun Rashid said why do you think you're better than us? Imam Musa ibn Jaqfar said Harun we come from Abu Talib. You come from Abbas. رسول الله صفادة عبد الله is from the same father and mother as Abu Talib. Whereas Abbas his mother is different. Harun Rashid said then but Abu Talib died and Abbas remained alive. And the heritage of Rasool الله remains with Abbas not Abu Talib. Imam Al-Kadum said yes but the heritage of Rasool الله remains in his child not in his uncle.  At that moment Imam Al-Kadum said Harun Rashid if Rasool الله came to propose for your daughter would you give your daughter to him? Harun Rashid said yes it would be my honor. Imam said but he wouldn't for us because he is the father of our mother. He would never come to us. Therefore our line is a straight connection whereas yours is an indirect connection. Harun Rashid was not happy with this. It brought an envy but he still needed a rumor to be spread. Do you know who he paid to spread a rumor about Imam Al-Kadum? Imam's brother Ismail had a son called Ali. You know today in the Muslim world we have different sects. We have the Zaidis, the Ismailis. We have the Imam 12 years. And Ismail was the brother of Imam Al-Kadum but from a different mother. The narrations what do they say to us? The narrations say to us Ismail had a son called Ali. Yahya Al-Balamaki told this Ali that we will pay you a certain amount of money. And by the way Ismail died before Imam Al-Sadaq. Ismail died before Imam Al-Sadaq. Some of the Shi'a of the time believed because Ismail is the eldest son. That means he should be the Imam after. And even if he is dead his son should be the Imam. Whereas we say in the school of Ahl al-Bayt it doesn't mean because you're the eldest son you should be the Imam. It's who Allah has chosen who should be the Imam. Ali bin Ismail Yahya Al-Balamaki told him we'll pay you a certain amount of money. If you come from Madinah to Baghdad and you spread rumors about Musa Al-Najafa. The narrations say Ali bin Ismail Imam Musa Al-Najafa his nephew just before he left. Imam said to him where are you going? He said I'm going to Baghdad. He said why? He said I have debts which I need to pay. Imam said Ali I'll pay your debts. You don't need to go to Baghdad. The narrations say Ali said no I want to go. Give me a piece of advice oh my uncle. Imam said do not be the cause of the bloodshed of me and my family. And then he said Ali his 300 Dina. One of Imam's companions said Imam why did you give him 300 Dina? Don't you know this man what he's going to do? Imam said Rasool Allah used to say look after your relatives. If you look after your relatives. If your relatives do evil to you later. That's Allah's concern not yours. You do good to your relatives. What they do after Allah will judge them. You know this Ali? He went all the way to Haroon al-Rashid. Haroon al-Rashid was sitting down. He was sitting down. Haroon al-Rashid said what is it Ali? He said do you know this Musab al-Nijafar? He's sitting in Medina. He's collecting weapons.  All for money. Imam Musab al-Nijafar didn't raise any army. He didn't have any weapons. Haroon al-Rashid said oh people didn't you hear this? He said yes. He said now do you allow me to put him in my prisons? The people said yes. Ali bin Ismail Imam Al-Qadr said can I have my envelope? He gave him the envelope. When he went out to open the envelope. Do you know how much was in the envelope? 200 Dina. How much did Imam Al-Qadr give him? 300. When he saw the 200 he couldn't believe it. He choked and he died at that moment. He let down his uncle and from there Haroon al-Rashid took over Imam Al-Qadr's life. Imam Al-Qadr they moved him from prison to prison. More than 15 years he spent in prison. The first prison was in Basra. Then they took him to Qantara prison. Then they took him to the prison of Fadr ibn Rabi'a. Do you know Fadr ibn Rabi'a? Do you know one day what he said? You know Imam Musa Al-Qadr when he first entered prison. Do you know what his first words were? Ya Allah all my life I have asked you to give me the honor of worshiping you in a place alone. I now thank you that you've given me this honor. Would you say that if you weren't prison? Would you? Ya Allah all my life I've asked you to let me be in a place where I can worship you alone. Now thank you. Would you say that? Prison makes a human being get destroyed sometimes. Fadr ibn Rabi'a when Imam Musa Al-Qadr was moved from Basra prison. Then to Qantara prison. Then to Fadr ibn Rabi'a. Fadr ibn Rabi'a told Ahmed Al-Qadr when he said to Ahmed come with me to my prison. So he came. He said what do you see in the prison? He said I see a man. I see a white robe. He said no no no look closer. He said no I see a white robe. He said no. That's Musa ibn Ja'far in Sujood. The whole time in prison he studies in his Sujood. He says Harwan al-Rashid sent the most beautiful girl in the whole of Arabia into Musa ibn Ja'far's prison. And when she entered the prison she said to Musa ibn Ja'far Oh man whatever you want from me I'll give you. And he didn't reply. Whatever you want I'll give you. And he didn't reply. The third time she said please whatever you want I'll give you. She says that he turned around to me and he said Oh lady why would I want what you offer when Allah has offered more. Said by the time the guards entered the prison they saw Musa ibn Ja'far in Sujood and the lady behind him in Sujood. And he sent people into the prison who didn't speak Arabic. They came out as Muslims. He said what's wrong with you?  They said the man started speaking to us in our language. And we became Muslims from his words. Fadr ibn Rabia used to say How can I torture a man in the daytime he is fasting in the night he is praying. Then after that they took him to the prison of Fadr ibn Yahya until at the end they took him to the prison of Essendi. Essendi. Do you know what his prison was? May Allah bless the soul of Imam Musa ibn Ja'far. All those years in prison. Do you know what his prison was? The other prisons they were tight spaces. Essendi's prison was the type of prison where it's a narrow pole and they make you stand inside it so that you can't sit. And on top of that pole they put a rock so that you could not know the difference between day and night. And Imam Musa ibn Ja'far used to say to the guards I do not know the difference between the day and the night. When you want to pray your Salah I beg you come and tell me so I can at least attempt to pray my Salah. And you know there is a hadith which is a hadith which hurts you. That the one day they removed the rock the time when they removed the rock from the top of his pole where he was in he tried to look outside for some of the daylight all of a sudden a man came and smacked him and hit him with his legs. And they began to kick the face of Imam Musa ibn Ja'far. Do you know how many people visit Imam Musa ibn Ja'far and don't cry by his grave? Do you know? Because they say we don't know anything about his life. It was tortured like Musa ibn Ja'far. No way there is no day but there are no years like Imam Musa ibn Qadr. And at the end Imam Musa ibn Qadr in prison is the only Imam and I say ya Allah I don't know how much they tortured Imam Qadr in prison. But imagine an Imam normally Imam Zubah للبيت can take anything. Imagine Imam Qadr his last dua in prison ya Allah. All my years I asked you to allow me to worship you alone and I thank you for that honor. But ya Allah I beg you now release me from the prison of Haroon. So Ibn Suaid narrates Ali ibn Suaid narrates I came to Imam Al-Qadr and I got through to his prison. I spoke to him I said Imam Musa ibn Ja'far When are you coming out your Shi'a are waiting. And Imam Musa ibn Ja'far I said Ali on Friday in the morning on the bridge of Baghdad I will be out. You know where I am heading. Ali says I went and told all our Shi'a Imam Musa ibn Ja'far is going to be released. Let's all gather on the Friday on the bridge of Baghdad. He says on the Friday we went to the bridge of Baghdad. And we heard a man saying There is a jana'at here. He said we went and we saw a body lying on the ground. He said we came towards the body we were wondering whose body is this. When we came near the body Ibn Ja'far's body on the bridge. He says we came near the body. He said I had a doctor who was a Christian. I said to the doctor Oh doctor come and look at this body. When the doctor came and looked at this body the doctor looked at me and he said does this man have any family? I said to him why? He said because they should ask for blood money. I said why? He said because the poison had surrounded his whole body. And that's why I tell you a story which I know of first hand. شخ أحمد الوائل may Allah bless his soul. One of the greatest reciters in Islamic history. He himself narrates in Baghdad. One day I came home my daughter. I saw her I saw my wife crying. What's the problem?  So I went and got a doctor and the doctor said your daughter will never see with this eye again. He said I straight away thought I'm going to Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far's grave in Baghdad. May Allah grant you all that honour of that ziyarah. He said I went to the grave of Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far but I stood by the grave I said oh Imam I said you are باب الحوائج show me now. My daughter's eye is cut she cannot see. He says I returned home and my wife was smiling I said to her what is it? She said look at your daughter I looked at my daughter I was back in the same state again. He said that day I realized the meaning of باب الحوائج Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far that when the Christian doctor came back he saw her eye he said I cannot believe that the eye has come back like this. The eye was completely cut and now it's back to normal. Therefore do not forget on a night like this to ask through Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far Ask your حوائج on a night like this Raise your hands brothers and sisters Raise your hands if you can Raise your hands and we pray to Allah to raise us with Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far The man who in his ziyarah we say and who was put in the prisons of Haroun el-Rashid We pray to Allah for all our Muslim brothers around the Islamic world especially our brothers in Bahrain and all our brothers who are facing hardship in the world today We pray to Allah to raise us with Imam Musa Ibn Ja'far To allow us to receive his intercession in this world and the hereafter for all our brothers who are ill We pray to Allah to raise the name of the one who was ill at Karbalaa Imam Zain al-A outcomes We pray to Allah with the farum دعا بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم أما يجيب الم الطار الدا emotions ويكشب السوء إذا xuب السوء أما يجيب المطار إذا Zahlen و يكشب السوء أما يجيب المطار إذا Lindsayouting و يجب السوء ان شاء الله tomorrow we will continue with the biography of Imam Ali ibn al-Sarrabah we pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى صورة الفاتحة but before it the loudest of your salawat
