Summary

In this elaborate talk about yet another great Sahaba - Abdullah Ibn Zubayr RA, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi elucidates numerous details entailing the biography and also some major fitans that took place in his time. Ibn Abbas narrates about that the lineage of Ibn Zubayr RA was unparalleled with him being the son of Zubayr Ibn Al Awwam RA and Asma Bint Abi Bakr RA, the niece of Khadija RA and also of Aisha RA and the grandson of Safiyyah RA. He was a very handsome man with hair reaching his shoulders and he was blessed with a loud and resonating voice which proved beneficial in his way of Islam. He was the first child on whom tahneek was done by the Prophet ﷺ and the Azaan was given by Abu Bakr RA. Hence, it is appropriate to say that the barakah on Ibn Zubayr was instilled since his birth. He is one among the blessed children Sahabas. He became an embodiment of Ibadah with people saying that his level of Khushoo in Ibadah and Salah was unimaginable with some saying that when he stood up for salah , he stood so still  that they thought he was a pillar of the Haram. He was not deterred by hindrances that came in the way of worship to Allah and is once reported to have done the Tawaf of the Ka'bah by swimming when Makkah was lashed by rains. His level of worship, courage and eloquence had no parallel. Abdullah RA was an avid member of various armies that fought against both the Byzantine and Sassanid empires. He was with his father in the Battle of Yarmuk. He was also part of the Battle of the Camel. He was irreplaceable in the Battle of Tripoli. Details are meted out which elaborate explicitly the incidents that transpired among Muawiyah, Yazid and Abdullah Ibn Zubayr RA and the aftereffects of this denial of allegiance. What happened in Madinah that irritated Yazid to that extent? Tune in to find out more on this in the next video!

was a la Rassu Lala alah al-Aah alihihihi woman,

0:29.0

Allahamabad.

0:30.0

So today, in shawlah, we're going to do the biography of Abdullah Ibn Zubeir.

0:35.0

And in reality this is a trick and a ruse. I will be doing much more than this,

0:41.0

but I want to embed what I'm going to do in the biography of a

0:44.4

Sahaba. There are a number of incidents that every serious student of

0:49.2

knowledge needs to know about that took place in this era. These are sad incidents. These are

0:54.8

traumatic incidents. I've covered one of them two years ago and that is the issue

0:59.2

of Karbala. Now the reason why I'm not having a separate lecture on these topics is because the

1:07.0

methodology of Ahal a-sunha-Wajamaa is to trivialize the fit-in between the Sahabah.

1:12.1

You guys understand this point. We don't put it in the

1:15.1

spotlight. By-gones be bygones, leave it in the past. At the same time, advanced

1:20.8

students need to know what's going on.

1:22.8

So I was waiting for an opportunity to discuss a number of incidents that took place in this

1:27.4

era that all of us should be aware of and Abdullah binazubil is this opportunity and when I got to him which is this

1:33.7

lecture we're gonna actually go not just through the life of Abdullah bin al-Assad bin al-Zubair but what

1:39.0

happened in his lifetime which is a number of very traumatic incidents.

1:43.6

One of them, I will skip over because we already covered it.

1:46.3

That's Karbala.

1:47.4

Okay, it happened during the time of Ibn Zubair,

1:49.5

and it's indirectly linked to Iben Zubair.
