Also, I know I'm competing with the State of the Union address, so those of you that are here, the State of the Union is not good, the Syirah is beneficial, so inshallah, save you some time there, you could watch the highlights later on Twitter.

But we're back in the Syirah, Bidnin lahitada, and honestly, you know, Subhanallah, these are really some of my favorite sahaba to speak about.

And the reason being is that when we talked about this series of the first, there are a few people that really embody what it means to be first.

And do so in a way that just sets the stage so that we can appreciate them and make do out for them.

And I keep on remembering, last week, when we talked about Ashaid Ibn Zurara, Bidnin lahitada, and so many of you actually told me after you'd never heard anything about the story of Ashaid.

But the fact that an old man, Kabbub Numalikah, the Allah, who would seek forgiveness for him when he heard the call to Juma'a, because he remembered, and it was already forgotten with the next generation.

His own son, we're talking about the Ta'b'een, had already forgotten this first of all firsts in Medina, and Ashaid Ibn Zurara, the Allah, Ta'anu, so what then of us, 1400 years later.

So, how are we going to build out the next three halakat? If you attend the next three, and of course you attended last week, and then the last long lecture we did of season one, and Musa'a Bidnin lahitada, the Allah, Ta'anu, if you understand the story of Musa'a Bidnin lahitada, Ashaid Ibn Zurara, and the man we're talking about tonight, as well as the next two, so these five, you really understand the entire landscape of Medina.

And I really do mean that, because it is this group of five young men, none of them, by the way, who are older than the age of 32 years old.

That set the entire stage for what is Medina, to Rasulillah, insha'Allah wa rahihi wa sallam, this beloved city to us.

And so, it's going to come back, these next three biographies come back to one incident.

It's the incident of Musa'a Bidnin lahitada, with Ashaid Ibn Zurara, the first convert of Medina, with the first ambassador from Mecca, sitting, teaching the people, and then three men, coming and embracing Islam on the same day, and then the entire city, practically, learning about Islam and the bulk of embracing Islam in that same day.

So, we're all going to come back to this one gathering.

And so, tonight, we're going to spend some time in insha'Allah with a man by the name of Usaid Ibn Khilayr Ibn Samnaq,

who will be Allahu ta'ala on him, Usaid Ibn Khilayr, Abu Yahya.

Usaid Ibn Khilayr was the son of Al Khilayr, who was the chief of al-Aus on the day of Boaath, who can remind me what the day of Boaath is.

And these needs to be really quick answers in insha'Allah.

The war between the two tribes, Aus and Khazraj, that wiped out all of the elders in Yathrib, which would become Medina, right?

The day that Aish al-Aliya Allahu an-Hasad Allah presented to the Messenger of Allah, because that was what opened up these people's hearts to the possibility of a new way.

Was the exhaustion and honestly the trauma of Boaath.

When he listened to them talk about Boaath, they never wanted to go back there again.
