Al-Farazdaq And Nawar’s | A Twisted Love Story | Mufti Abu Layth

I don't think I shared any any kind of fun story today did I everything just very intense intense intensity you know there needs to be something a bit uh you know to lighten the mood share something before we go on go on then so let's let me

guys speaking of strange outlooks on life let me share an incident here's one and perspectives speaking on perspectives huh you got you know we've spoken previously about [Music] um The Poets frak and jar the the duo these they couldn't stand each

other and what's interesting though is when one of them dies the other one is so heartbroken it's amazing you see sometimes in life you may have an antagonist but that antagonism is needed for there to be life you know see sometimes you need that restlessness to be alive and it's interesting we don't know how certain structures are held up in the kind of metaphorical substrate of

things because it's with agonists and antagonists at times we just don't we don't know and yeah so anyway F let's take FR as an example what a strange what a strange name and and an incredibly colorful character shall we say speaking of turbulence and things going on everybody's aware of in the time of

the sahaba there was the whole FNA of the and this is going after that into the time so what happens is several people in combating the kar or dealing with them people you know people unfortunately were killed and stuff like this it is in this time that we meet our character FD from B tamim Allah Allah Allah and what happens is from his

relatives is a woman now this is the kind of bir the story came to mind I thought I might as well share it right so what happens is um in his time one of his uh relatives this lady called Nar she finds herself without any family because their family are killed by theage they were these extremists and and she's getting by you know she's surviving there's other people helping her so she gets to a point where she thinks you know what I want to get

married as one does and so she thinks right I need a like I want to set it up like you know I've got a few prospects and people will be coming and proposing so I should have like a Wally so she thinks let me set a Wally who should I choose as a Wally so she approaches frak and she says to frak look you know this is my situation you you know my situation family or fathers died and all this has happened and would you care to be my Willie so um

FR FR go he says a good deed and waste a moment por why of course At Your Service me lady so he says yes of course he says I'd be the Willie so he says you know what we'll do let's let's formalize it so he gets a few people together and he says uh says guys I just want you to know that I here am the legal guardian for noar and you know I'm going to in terms of her marriage and every Everybody y yep no is that a do we have a yes she

says of course of course ioner ion cool people all right that's all good we got it okay disperse disperse then what he does is he says he says to Noir oh oh about the marriage thing she says oh look I I think you know there's a few guys are going to come a few suitors to to marry you know to propose he says oh about that there's no need he says I've already sorted it she say you sorted my marriage don't you know my middle name is

efficacy efficiency is my middle name y he says I've already married you off says huh what to who he says to me you know that you know we are so she goes what he goes yeah I married you as the guardian he says I looked for the best Suitor and I

thought who could be a a more fine Suitor than me so I thought in your interest I married you to me so what happens is she says that what on Earth is this nonsense you can't do that he says I can because you're the one who in front of everyone gave me the power of attorney to marry you off and I looked for the a fine sutor and lo and behold I was the best was so I fulfilled my duty

so and he deep down proper fancies this n so she says look I'm not having this and he says well it's a bit late for that love I've already you're in Mya so he starts as a poet he starts saying poetry about her but she's not having she says that this poetry won't win me over he says some very nice flattering uh words of majestic words that may melt the heart but it wasn't working for Noir so during this time she says I've had

enough I've I'm going to this is the time when Abdullah Zu theah had most of the Muslim world had pledged their allegiance to him he was based in Makkah so in case you guys didn't know F and jar by the way um who I believe spent their time in the nud region and stuff like that but they were Affiliates of Zu Abdullah Zu the Zu Dynasty they weren't aligned with bani umayya they used to pledge the allegiance to Abdullah Zub later on they

make a shift but so sh says naar says I've had enough of this I'm going to Makkah because it's not ever so far I mean it's far but it's not uh and she says I'm gonna go to Abdullah Zu who's the kff I'm going to report this and seek his assistance so she sets off so fris what what a name though the name is like a a character you can make a cartoon out of this person or definitely

a series he thinks yeah problem Samia this one big problem he says you call the police on me I called the police on you he says I'm setting off to Makkah as well I'm going to complain yeah they go Mega confusion she going to complain he's going to complain so he says I'm going to complain that you're my wife and you're not this is insubordination

Insurrection this one not nice you know so so what happens they they both get to mekah Abdullah Zu is busy obviously is the caleff so sometimes it can take a day or two before you you know get to meet the cff if he's obviously sorting out a lot of things so sh they think both of them think you know what before we get to him we need someone to put in a good word to him because Abdullah Zu was a strong character very strong man and you know somebody of he didn't have time to waste he wasn't one of these kind of uh you

know sit around you're going to joke with him and things like he was very serious you know Men of Steel and so they both think look when we get there what we're going to do is uh we're going to like let's put we need someone to put in a good word so when Nar gets there she looks and finds um the wife of Abdullah Zu she finds her and she tells and so she she finds

her and she kind of like spends the day with her explains to her look this is what's happened F sees this he thinks he's got that close he's got to the wife says y I need to get closer so he thinks let me look for his son so Abdullah zub's son who's uh whose name is Hamza he says let me find Hamza he finds Hamza now remember he's a celebrity F he's a poet it's like today how you have singers and in fact it's even bigger than singers because poets back then one they were like celebrities as in how

you'll look at singers or actors but also they were like the the propaganda machines so they were like uh media so basically like CNN BBC this was like poets because whatever they wrote a poem about everybody you know took it and spread it far and wide so for that go goes to Hamza and he tells him yeah you know know this this so Hamza says don't worry I'm going to put in a good word to my dad on the other hand the wife uh

b b I've forgotten actual name but it is uh but they call her I know it'san okay so so she goes and and puts in a good word as well like they both go so the next day fuk and his wife turn up to Abdullah and they say and they start telling the incident so they're both sitting there Abdullah Zu listens to them and he says to F that you be

quiet and he asks no that what's going on so she says look uh you know I don't want to marry him and uh and he says enough said you didn't want to there's no compulsion nobody should be forced to be in a relationship so when he says this Forda gets a bit wound up obviously celebrity so he gets up and he and he says and these their poetry was like this epic and they would just say epic poetry like that so he says as he gets

up he says this poem he says he says um he says he says as to his sons their good word intercession was of no use and he says whereas the intercession of who's his wife God

accepted and he says and it's true that the inter the the the one who intercedes the intercessor the the one who comes to put in a good word the shaf the what the who comes to you wearing comes to you in clothes meaning his son or anyone who comes to you in clothes is not like the one who comes interceding whilst naked like hinting at his wife like meaning that OB it's obvious isn't it I told your son to

put in a good word but where does he stand when she told your wife who's obviously somebody who's going to be naked with you so you're obviously going to listen to her this is this is his poem he says so he says

thisd flies into a rage he grabs him they say he grabs for us the by the throat up against the wall and people have to come to say look leave him leave him leave him please please and they they have to intervene and they have to and he's got him by this but it does not let go he's like how dare you remember this is he's and he's a sahabi of the Prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam he's not a nobody you know this is somebody huge one of the greatest people in Islam he's

you know on the when man's uh was his home was laid was under siege the the companions some of them that would sit on God on duty andman told them eventually to go but was Abdullah Zu like one of the the most outstanding companions I mean he's from he's a very young companion his father was from the and also a cousin of the prophet and he's one of the only companions they say one of the only people in Islam who uh had like such kind of warrior techniques like his father used to have they say Zu was the

one of the only few Arabs that could whilst horseback fight with two swords I mean this is the kind of Legacy he's coming from and you can imagine right so this person saying this to him that oh well it's obvious isn't it you're going to take her word because she got your wife to come who comes naked to you so he was in a rage and he's like what the hell I'm not going to let him go so people intercede and they they you know they intervene and say please please please they break it up and Abdullah Zu says to Nar he says not

only are you free of his ncah he says that if because of this ncah which was a against your will you see because remember they've he's been with her he's kind of consumated the marriage and all this stuff they've been there so he said I'm going to treat that like rape basically because this this is not on and his attitude is not on and I will have him punished which is basically capital punishment like how dare he take a woman against her will and you know and and be like this and

and have such a belligerent attitude so now obviously this is terrifying for people so some people so far's kind of held and Nar is happy that okay the talak has happened and everything but you know here is an interesting twist you see sometimes some people this comes back to the theme own your destiny some people they are not happy with certain things because it's not their

choice regardless of the thing per se Sometimes some people they don't mind something but it's the fact that they didn't get a choice in it that makes them detested I'll give you an example so in this case when Abdullah Zu says to her that she's you know you you are free from this he does he's not going to be he's not your husband and you're free she thinks about it and she thinks well you know what

he's not actually a bad person like okay he's bad but he's not bad to me you see because nobody is entirely evil in that sense like he he says all this poetry he's always been Charming me he's always he's been trying to spend money on me he's like always flat he's always so kind to me whether okay he may be foulmouthed to other people and he may do stuff but to me and he's he's not like I mean I'm sure in terms of stature and in terms of his people you know he's got dignity he's a celebrity at the end of the day he's got an x amount of respect and so

she kind of thinks about it and thinks you know what I don't mind him being married but here was the Crux of the issue but it's my choice now see this is it comes back to own your destiny like sometimes the battle the thing is going on in the and in the heart it's not even the situation sometimes people don't mind the situation but it's that why did I not get a choice in it you see and so she says to Abdullah Zu You know what she

says look I've she comes back to him like by the end of the day and she says look I thought about it and I don't mind him actually as a husband I just felt that it was wrong the way it was done and now that you've kind of empowered me and now it's my choice my doing I'll choose him because he's been actually very kind of he has been to me good so so so she actually choose and this obviously fruk just about escapes he just he was about to get

executed this guy he's like whoa Allah saved me again and he goes back to Basra they moves to Basra with Nar and you know they spend so many years um having an epic they do have an epic kind of bond for many years it does fizzle out towards the end he says so much poetry iconic poetry dedicated to Noir the kind of romance for at least a few years was well known she has several children with uh fruk and as like a decade later they have the ups and downs and eventually

she goes on to seek a divorce from him and he he does divorce her they she gets a divorce but many years later but during her time with him most of it up until before the end she um she actually says that it was you know we we had some very good days together like a lot of it was spent in a lot of joy and they had some crazy because you see fak was a maybe not in the early years but later on he was a Serial he became this serial womanizer and he would not um

if he saw some woman he'd he'd get like especially if he got infatuated with a woman he would just kind of like chase her and sometimes try to say all this poetry and try to seduce her and and he would try it on and and sometimes if he thinks that it's a bit of a thing he would just try like I mean physically try so as abominable as that is but this is what he would do for so there was an incident with naar where there's a woman that she kind of engaged bit with fruk so fruk saw it as a green light and he starts kind of chasing her around town and she's she thinks look I'm I've had

enough of him and he starts turning up to where she lives and and he's trying it on a bit physically and she's not having it but so she reports it to Nar and this this I mean that's a tragic incident but and I want to tell you it's so bizarre she tells Noir this is what's happening with your husband so she says okay and what what did he say she so he's she says that he came to me and he was trying it on and he said meet me at this place tomorrow in this location you know romantic location romance will do the romance man

Romancing so Nar says okay cool what to do is meet him there tomorrow I'm going to be there as well but I'm going to be in hiding so so they make this plan so what she does is she says turn up with this kind of nikab show him that it's you and then come into this place so she does she goes into that place but then she exits and Nar is there with this nikab and she follows through into this dark place and Fu's like over the moon that yes this is a total green light you know this is this is happening man what

is love so he rushes in chases after it's dark and he just starts he starts and he starts the deed and so he starts the deed and and noar is is with him at it and then when he when the deed is done when the deed is done she speaks she says to him like something like godamn you and he he re recognizes the voice he goes huh is it you because it's dark in the

place so she says yeah who did you think it was you thought it's the other woman so he says this obviously is a poet of the Arabic language so he says this m what became a proverb proverbial he says he says uh he says ma because by this time their relationship had kind of deteriorated he says

he says he says you know as something that is halal he says like it's so tasteless with you but as something that is Haram wow it was so it was so amazing because he in what he's trying to say is I thought it was I thought it was the other girl and this was so and passionate and then it turns out to be you and I'm thinking ah this and so this is the crazy story and the lifestyle of fruk these were some wacko people in

very in the very first early Century of Islam but there's a lot of stories they've left and a lot of Arabic poetry that is definitely worth reading people that's enough right let's
