Summary

In this video by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi, we are acquainted with two more Sahaba - Jubayr and Mut'im Ibn 'Adi - their life and times. Mut`im ibn `Adi was the chieftain of the banu Naufal tribe and was not a Muslim but he possessed worldly traits that can be described as good virtues. He was in fact even talked about with praise by the Prophet ﷺ.  There are many reasons for this. Firstly, he supported Islam and ensured that he did not prove to be a hindrance in its progression. Secondly, he proved essential to avert or put an end to the Makkan boycott of the Hashemites. Thirdly, he was a staunch supporter of the Prophet ﷺ and ensured his return to Taif even though the Prophet ﷺ had been banished by Abu Lahab from coming back.  He died before the Battle of Badr past the age of 90. The son of Mut'im Ibn ‘Adi was Jubayr Ibn Mut'im RA and was renowned for his knowledge of genealogy after Abu Bakr RA. he was also the owner of Wahshi ibn Harb who was the slave who killed Hamza ibn 'Abdul Muttalib RA. Jubayr RA adopted Islam somewhere between the Second Treaty of Hudaibiyah and the conquest of Makkah. He had two sons-Nafi' ibn Jubayr and Muhammad ibn Jubayr . There are a few Hadith that have been narrated by Jubayr RA and some are listed as below: Narrated Jubayr ibn Mut'im, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting Surah-at-Tur in Maghrib prayer, and that was at a time when belief was first planted in my heart." Another narration by Jubayr RA, "The Prophet ﷺ while speaking about the war prisoners of Badr, said, "Were Al-Mut'im bin Adi alive and interceded with me for these filthy people, I would certainly forgive them for his sake." Narrated by Jubayr RA, "The Prophet ﷺ said: “The one who severs the ties with the relatives will not be among the first to enter Paradise. Rather, this person will enter it after being tortured in Hellfire.” Narrated by Jubayr RA, "The  Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah brighten a man who hears a tradition from us, gets it by heart and passes it on to others. Many a bearer of knowledge conveys it to one who is more versed than he is; and many a bearer of knowledge is not versed in it. Narrated Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im from his father (Jubayr RA)who said, "The moon was split during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until it became as two sections, one above this mountain and one above that mountain. ' Some of them said: 'If he could cast a spell upon us, he can not cast a spell upon all of the people.'

As a to do the stories of Jubaidib and his father, Mutham I bin Adi.

0:37.1

And the story of Jubayr and the story of his father, Muthraim, is actually very relevant to us here in America and especially because

0:46.2

of who Mutraim is.

0:47.8

Mutraim is one of the noblemen of the Khoraih and therefore his son Jubaid is also one of the noblemen of the Khorai.

0:54.4

So he is the son of one of the leaders of the Khorai.

0:58.9

And the reason why his story is so important is because Muta im I bin al-Dhi his father was the greatest

1:05.7

supporter of Islam after Abu Talib yet did not embrace Islam. Let me repeat that.

1:10.9

The Kaurish were not one category and most of them were open

1:16.0

enemies, hostile enemies. Abu Jahal, Abu Lahabhah, the Urkba even abhahibhhba and also Urkba e-mewait excuse me.

1:25.9

Oma Yib and Kalaf, these people, their animosity was open.

1:29.6

There was another group of people who were, I would call them, dignified opponents.

1:34.2

They neither embraced Islam, nor did they become very crude and amongst them was

1:38.8

Suheli bin Ahmed and Abu Sufian.

1:40.8

And then there was a small category, very few, who actually supported Islam even though they did not embrace it.

1:48.0

And they supported, I shouldn't say Islam, I should say that they supported the cause of the Muslims even though they do not embrace it

1:55.8

they supported the fact that Muslims should be allowed to pray and practice freely without

2:00.8

being persecuted.

2:02.6

And most prominent amongst them is of course Abu Talib.

2:05.9

Number one on this list is Abu Talib.

2:08.0

Abu Talib is the greatest defender of Islam who did not embrace Islam.

2:12.1

And then number two is the person we're going to talk about today, and that is Motrim, and then his son who embraced Islam, Jubaid, and the brutal factor the matter is had it not been for Muil, Jubaid and his life is not something that would be worthy for us to talk an entire lecture about he didn't do that much.
