Join AMAR Academy Today: https://www.rahmaniyyah.com Can the dead hear? 🕌 After the battle of Badr, the Prophet ﷺ stood over the well where the slain of Quraysh were cast and addressed them by name: would it not have been better for you to have believed? Umar asked: O Messenger of Allah, how do you speak to bodies with no souls? He ﷺ replied: you cannot hear what I am saying better than they can. Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan continues the seerah with the aftermath of Badr, and the episode this question opens. The lesson covers the death of Umayyah ibn Khalaf, the head of kufr, at the hands of Bilal, the very man he once tortured on the sands of Makkah, and the story of Abdul Rahman ibn Auf caught between protecting his captive and Bilal's cry for justice. ⚔️ It then turns to the delegation of Abd al-Qays and the man the Prophet ﷺ praised for two traits Allah loves: forbearance and deliberateness. And the moment the Prophet ﷺ defended Abu Bakr before them all: he believed in me when every one of you called me a liar. The episode closes with how the scholars reconcile evidences that only seem to contradict: the well of Badr, the verse "you cannot make the dead hear," and the methodology of taking the proofs holistically, for the Quran and the Sunnah come from One source, and He does not contradict Himself. 📖 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abdulrahmanhassanofficial25 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/AMARofficial Telegram: https://t.me/+c87I9vy6kqkxOWZk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rahmaniyyahofficial WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBlpi2CHDyjG4ZI1I0g X (Formerly Twitter): https://x.com/UstAbdulrahman #abdulrahmanhassan #AlMadrasatuArRahmaniyyah #AMAR
