I remind you and myself that leaders come from the people.
The leader is not sent from heaven.
Leaders come from the people.
If you have good people, you get good leaders.
If you have a gang of bandits, you will not get Omar bin Abdulaziz as the leader of that band.
Right?
You will get the biggest.
Bandit who will be the leader of that bandit of that gang of bandits.
Abu Dahad al-Ansari.
On a side note, I'll come back.
Abu Dahad al-Ansari.
He was sitting in Majid Nawawi Sharif.
And he says, I saw a small boy who came to me.
He was crying.
He was weeping, tears flowing.
And he came here.
I want your help.
Nawawi Sharif was, I mean, he's, there's no.
When Allah.
Subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
What do you say about his Rama?
What do you say about his heart?
Allah is the one who is witness to that.
This boy comes, he's crying.
He says, Ya Rasulullah, I need your help.
He says, what happened?
He says, Ya Rasulullah, my father gave me, I'm an orphan.
My father died.
I left for me a small, you know, dead garden.
And I want to build a wall around it.
And there is a dead, big dead tree in the way of this wall, which belongs to my neighbor.
And the neighbor is being difficult.
He won't let me take the wall around the tree.
I told him, give me the tree.
He does not give me the tree.
I said, sell me the tree.
He doesn't sell me the tree.
So now I don't know what to do.
So now we saw that Salim said, who's the neighbor?
The neighbor was Abu Lubaba.
Who's also, he was not one of the manafiqun.
He was a good sahabi, Mashallah.
But you know, people are people.
So, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam called him.
He called him.
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said to him, why don't you give this boy the tree?
You've got a big dead palm garden, one tree, give it to him.
He said, no.
This is my haqq, my right.
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, okay.
He said, no.
Sell that tree to me.
Sell that tree to me.
And I promise you a tree in Jannah.
I'm trying to show you what kind of people these were.
He said, sell me the tree and I promise you a tree in Jannah.
May Allah protect us from ourselves.
This sahabi who was one of those who in one Ghazwa actually shared a mount with Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
He's not a manafiqun.
But human.
He said, no.
What is the meaning of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam promising you a tree in Jannah?
What does it mean?
He's promising you Jannah.
Okay.
You're not going to be sitting in Jannah and selling your people there.
You know what?
I got a piece of a tree in the Jannah.
No.
You go to sell.
He said, no.
And he left.
Now Abu Dada, this is not Abu Darda.
This is Abu Dada.
Abu Dada is sitting, listening to that.
As soon as the man left, he came to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and said,
Ya Rasulullah, if I get that tree for you, will you promise me the same thing?
Yes.
Yes.
Now he said, I said, yes.
So Abu Dada went behind his man.
By the time he caught up with him, he's in the middle of the market of Madinah on his way home.
Abu Dada caught up with him and he stopped him and he said, Salaam.
He said, I heard this conversation in the masjid and I came to ask you, sell me that tree.
So he said, I did not even sell the tree to the Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Why will I sell it to you?
He said, no, no, no, hold on.
I will tell you the deal.
He said, my deal is, he said, do you know me?
He said, of course I know you.
Who are you?
Who am I?
He said, you are Abu Dada.
What do you know about me?
He said, everybody knows about you.
He said,
