Episode 4

May Allah have mercy on you O Malik ibn Anas.

May Allah have mercy on you.

You were a fort of this nation

and the best teacher from whom we drew science.

May Allah have mercy on you.

Please, oh oum Khaled, come in.

Do you remember oh oum ahmad the day i came with women from the neighborhood

for Ahmad to read their husbands' letters?

Yes, I remember oh Khaled oum.

Among these women was Umm Omar al-Dimashqia.

Her husband works in carpet weaving.

Yes, I remember her, what does she have?

She asked me to weave a carpet for her.

She sent this wool for you to start your work.

Oum Omar al-Dimashqia will take what you have woven for her husband so that he sells it at the market,

then she will give you a salary after deducting the price of the wool.

What do you say ?

May Allah reward you with good O oum Khaled,

the same for oum Omar.

However ..

However what oh oum Ahmad?

My son oh oum Khaled.

I fear that he deplores this and that he does not like it.

Why ?

Does it bother him that his mother earns legal money in his spare time?

My son ô oum Khaled considers that he is responsible for the home and his mother's affairs.

This is what pushed him to work before.

If I hadn't convinced him that we didn't need more money,

he would not have left his job devoting himself to studies.

Try to convince him oh oum Ahmad.

I'm going to try.

I'm going to try.

Yahya ibn Said reported to us by saying that Soulayman ibn Yassar reported to us or rather according to Soulayman ibn Yassar,

according to oum Salamah the wife of the prophet ﷺ

May the prayer and salvation of Allah be upon him.

that Soubay'a bint al-Harith gave birth after the death of her husband about twenty days ago

and she wanted to remarry.

Abu as-Sanabel said to him: You have no right until the end of the last of the two terms (lochia or mourning).

This was brought up to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: Let her marry if she wishes.

What is the difference between so and so reported and so and so?

What do you all have with your hands down as if you had birds on your head?

You have nothing to answer?

Okay, young Shaybani.

It seems that only you can answer oh Ahmad.

Say what you have to say.

The difference ô our master is that the formula “brought us back”

specifies that the scientist heard it directly from the one reporting the hadith

unlike so-and-so on so-and-so.

There is no clear clarification that he heard it.

May Allah bless you O Ahmad.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and his blessings.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and his blessings.

There is no strength or power except in Allah.

Certainly we are with Allah and it is to Him that we will return.

I offer my condolences for the death of Malik ibn Anas, the imam of Dar al-Hijra (Medina).

Certainly we are with Allah and it is to Him that we will return.

Mecca 179 Hijri - 796 Gregorian

May Allah increase your retribution.

Same for you.

I offer my condolences to the prince of believers for the death of Malik ibn Anas, the imam of Dar al-Hijra (Medina).

It is a great loss and the tragedy of having lost Abdellah is great.

May Allah forgive us and him and reward the imam for good for us.

Certainly to Allah belongs what He took back and it is to Him also that belongs what He gave

but we only say what pleases our Lord.

Certainly we are with Allah and it is to Him that we will return.

Certainly we are with Allah and it is to Him that we will return.

Certainly to Allah belongs what He took back and it is to Him also that belongs what He gave

but we only say what pleases our Lord.

Certainly we are with Allah and it is to Him that we will return.

What a great loss for the Muslim nation after the death of Imam Malik ibn Anas.

I so hoped to be one of his students one day.

May Allah have mercy on you and let you dwell in his vast paradises.

Praise be to Allah for your safe return O my son.

Praise be to Allah for your safe return.

May Allah preserve you O mother, may Allah preserve you.

Aah oh my son.

I thought death would surprise me before seeing you again my son.

May Allah grant you a long life O mom

and protect you from all harm.

Praise be to Allah.

How are you, my son?

Praise be to Allah.

I'm fine as long as I found you in good shape.

Praise be to Allah.

How is Imam Malik?

I offer my condolences to Imam Malik.

Certainly we are with Allah and it is to Him that we will return.

Is the imam of Dar al-Hijra (Medina) dead?

Yes oh mom.

He has gone before us before his Lord.

O Allah have mercy on him and forgive him.

May Allah have mercy on Imam Malik and cause us to join him as a believer.

Amin O Allah, O Lord of the Worlds.

Relax, my son, relax.

Praise be to Allah.

It is the decree of Allah and no one can reject his decree.

Praise be to Allah.

I was surprised by the request of the prince of believers and I have not yet found someone for this great mission oh majesty.

The mission of the guardianship of Prince al-Ma'moun is a great mission.

We must choose well.

And you, oh aba al-Fadl?

Have you omitted what the guard of the prince of believers, al-Fadl ibn ar-Rabi 'has omitted?

I think I know a man worthy of this honorable mission, oh majesty.

May Allah not deprive me of your good intuition.

Can you tell me who it is?

I told you about it, majesty.

A very intelligent, cultivated and very ingenious young man.

I think I am the one who is best suited to this mission.

Who is it ?

Al-Fadl ibn Sahl al-Sarakhssi.

Al-Fadl ibn Sahl.

Al-Fadl ibn Sahl?

Was it not this young person who you asked to translate a book from Persian to Arabic whose work you appreciated?

It is indeed he, majesty.

Do you think it should be oh aba al-Fadl?

If it wasn't, I wouldn't have told you about it.

The decision rests with the prince of believers.

If you wish, I can have him come.

If he has the honor to please you, we will take it, otherwise we will look for someone else.

Excellent advice O Yahya.

Excellent advice.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and his blessings.

I need you oh Ahmad.

Order me ô Aamer.

May Allah never put you under the orders of an unjust.

I wanted you for something.

If I can do it it will be my pleasure.

Only you can do it if Allah wills it.

It is not too difficult

or rather say that it is not impossible.

It's just that ..

What can i tell you.

Aamer, if it's simple ask someone else

or talk to me about it right away.

Come in, come in, please.

You're welcome.

Sit down.

My mother may be watching me from one of the alleys.

I need you for a case that I would like you to pass on to my aunt oum Ahmad.

What is that ?

A bride.

I want her to find me a bride.

Aamer.

Usually it's up to your mother to find you a bride, not my mother.

My mother searched, but she did not find O Ahmad.

Maybe my bad luck is hindering me from finding a suitable girl.

I want Aunt Oum Ahmad to find me this girl.

You are a house of science and piety, oh Ahmad.

Maybe Allah will open the doors of good by your cause.

I don't know what to say to you, O Aamer.

But let's see.

You mean you're going to tell my aunt oum Ahmad about it?

I don't know how to tell her about it.

I think she'll think I'm kidding.

However, I will tell him about it and my business is up to Allah.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and his blessings.

Be blessed oh ahmad!

Be blessed.

May Allah make you a cause of good.

I told you that only oum Ahmad can help me.

Only oum Ahmad can help me.

Be blessed oh Ahmad.

Why do all this, majesty?

You put yourself in danger.

My security is in the security of my subjects O Zoubayda.

The guards are enough for you, O Haroun.

O Zoubayda.

If the guards monitor state affairs,

who will watch the guards?

Aren't the guards human beings?

Don't they make mistakes?

Aren't they doing good things?

The guards are part of the subjects, there are good and bad.

By Allah I only said that out of fear for your life.

You are the prince of believers.

If harm should happen to you - may Allah keep you from it - its plague will be worse for the subjects than the mistakes of your officials.

The greatest disaster for me ô Zoubayda

is that one of my officials oppresses a man for whom Allah will judge me on the day of the resurrection

because of an injustice he suffered in a state for which I am responsible.

You are all responsible and you are all responsible for your matters.

May the prayer and salvation of Allah be upon him.

May the prayer and salvation of Allah be upon him.

May Allah protect you O majesty.

Mum.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

Marouane, what's going on, my son?

What do you want ?

I see you got home before time.

The truth is that I came to talk to you about something important.

Something important?

What is it, my son?

It's about ..

Shahinaz.

Shahinaz?

Yes.

I want to marry her.

Is that what concerns you and which holds your tongue, my son.

Truth be told, I'm afraid you won't accept it.

You are right to fear him then.

And why oh mom?

Shahinaz is a good and beautiful girl.

I think she is suitable to be my wife.

Since you know all this, why the fear then?

You mean that ..

Yes, yes O Marouane.

I've been thinking about your marriage to her since I saw her.

She is an excellent girl ô Marouane.

Thank you oh mom.

How long are you going to stay like a thorn in my throat ô ibn Hanbal?

Do I have to be before you in everything I do to ruin my life?

I swear I won't let you outdo me.

I only have your fellows ô ibn Hanbal left to surpass Souhayb.

Let my mother lose me if that happens.

Mum.

I am here oh my son, come.

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

I thought you were going to stay at the mosque longer oh my son.

What is that ?

As you see it,

I try to occupy myself with something that will repel boredom and weariness.

For whom is this ?

For oum Omar al-Dimashqia.

Oum Omar?

So you work with a salary?

What's wrong with earning some money from my hard work by taking care of something beneficial?

I am bored, my son, I am bored.

Didn't you tell me we don't need money

and that what we get from the shop rent is enough for us?

Yes and I told you the truth.

However, my son,

you spend most of your time at the mosque

and I stay here all alone at home between its walls.

Time passes slowly and wearily.

Staying at home without work makes your mind and body sick.

How can I accept your work while I am out of work?

Listen, oh my son.

Each of us has a determined job and a defined role in this life.

My job now is to guarantee you what you want so that you finish your studies.

And your role is to excel in your studies to achieve what you aspire to.

That is why I do not want to talk about this subject again.

I wanted to talk to you about something, my son.

I am under your orders, oh mom.

Although I know what you are going to say.

What oh apple of my eye?

Isn't it about women?

You do not lack insight, my son.

I'm ready when you want it.

Listen, oh Mohammad.

I have chosen a girl from one of the best houses in Quraysh.

A beautiful girl, who fastes, who prays and who knows her Lord well.

Whose daughter is O mom?

Nafi's daughter,

the grandson of Othmane ibn Affân - may Allah be pleased with him.

May Allah accept and satisfy his grandfather.

That your choice is good oh mom.

So, I understand from that that you agree?

Is there anyone who can refuse the granddaughter of Othmane ibn Affân ô oum Mohammad?

Okay my son, with the blessing of Allah then.

Tomorrow I will speak to his mother about it if Allah wills.

As you wish.

Are you satisfied now?

When was it not?

I invoke Allah for you morning and evening for your gratitude and your obedience O my son.

O oum Khaled.

I came to see you for something you can do.

I hope not to leave your home by being disappointed.

May Allah not disappoint you with any hope, please.

Truth be told, since I saw Shahinaz, I have enjoyed him

and I wanted her to be my daughter-in-law.

I said to myself may Allah have my son Marouane marry her.

Marouane asked me today to ask you to marry her.

Marouane is a good boy.

However, as you know, this is not my responsibility.

Shahinaz is master of herself.

I know that oh oum Khaled.

But now you are like his mother

and it’s not appropriate that I talk to her about it while she’s home

I want if you agree that you tell him about it and that you recommend your son Marouane to him.

I would be grateful.

You know that Marouane is like my son Khaled.

I promise I will try

however as you know, this is in the hands of Shahinaz.

If she agrees, that will make me happy

otherwise, I could not force it.

May Allah reward you my sister.

I am sure that if you recommend Marouane to him, good will be done by your cause if Allah wills it.

God willing oh oum Marouane.

God willing.

Listen, oh Faouz.

What you're doing bothers us.

So don't persist.

We will not stay that way until the end of our lives.

Talk for you.

As for me, I never tire and I will not let myself go.

You wretch, have you lost your mind?

You insist on exhausting yourself for nothing.

How about finding a compromise?

That I make concessions and that you make concessions?

I promise to sell you only to the one you accept.

What do you say ?

No, I would not agree.

I am not a servant in the slave market.

I will remain free as long as I am alive.

Even if I am starving, I will not accept being sold and bought.

Put that in your head.

Although I see that you don't understand.

It was you who looked for it.

This time, it would not be enough to deprive you of food and drink.

Handalah!

O Handalah!

Come here now !

I do not know what to tell you.

I'm quite puzzled.

But you have great esteem in the heart of oum Marouane

and she wants you to be her daughter-in-law.

How? 'Or' What ?!

She would like you to be her daughter-in-law.

Who told him I wanted to get married?

Nobody told him anything.

She appreciated you and wants you as a wife for her son.

No, I don't want to get married.

Why ?

Whether you are here or with your family, your fate will be to go to your husband's home.

My fate is to go home to my family first.

Shahinaz.

I'm not going to force you to do what you hate.

But think carefully about it.

Whatever you do, I will only leave this place with my family or my grave.

It will be in your grave, vermin.

May Allah not facilitate you!

May Allah not facilitate me ?!

Take it then!

I'm free.

Free !!

Free !!!

How sad my heart is for you O Shahinaz.

I swear I would be a help for you and not against you.

If you do not accept Marouane as a spouse, no one will force you.

Is it reasonable that I get married while away from my family?

How can it be possible?

But what is the fault of oum Khaled and her son for supporting me all this time?

Maybe I am a heavy burden for them.

I am confused.

What will I do, my Lord?

There is no strength or power except in Allah.

This is al-Fadl ibn Sahl oh majesty.

Come closer, oh Fadl.

Come closer and greet the prince of believers.

I told you about his sagacity and intelligence, majesty.

So it was this young person to whom you entrusted the translation of a book from Persian to Arabic?

It is indeed he, majesty.

They are al-Fadl ibn Sahl al-Sarakhssi.

You must be very intelligent, young man

so that Yahya would say words about you that the prince of believers would like to be said about him in his absence.

What is the secret, young man?

Hello my daughter.

I thought you were still asleep and I didn't want to disturb you.

I will answer you what you asked me, my aunt.

How? 'Or' What ?

I agree to get married

with the one who wants to marry me oh oum Khaled.

Sit down, my daughter.

Sit down.

What is happening to you, young man?

Don't you know how to speak

Are you going to stand up, smug in admiration and mute as well?

What happens to you ?

O prince of believers.

May Allah preserve you and grant you a long life.

It was your presence that held my tongue.

The greatest testimony to the admiration of the servant is that his heart is possessed by the presence of his master.

Well said.

These are beautiful words by Allah.

If you were silent to say that,

so it's beautiful.

And if it was your intelligence that helped you, then this is more excellent.

Shahinaz oh my daughter.

The decision to marry is not so simple that you accept it so quickly.

It's your fate.

Don't accept it without conviction just because I asked you to.

I only recommended Marouane to you because he is an honest young man who deserves to be your husband.

My heartbreak and sorrow is not having my family at a time when I need it more than before.

We are your family.

I am your mother, oh Shahinaz.

Would your mom oum Khaled accept anything other than good for you?

My girl.

Shahinaz agreed.

She agreed to marry you.

Tomorrow if Allah wills, we will go to the market to buy him what it takes to prepare for marriage.

May Allah announce good news to you, O mom.

Praise be to Allah, praise to Allah.

What is happening to you, young man, have you lost your mind?

Whoever sees your joy and rejoicing might think that you have known it for a very long time.

You are truly amazing.

Love has a hold on me O mom.

When he controls a person, he makes him lose his reason and he kills in his heart any sensation except towards him.

Shahinaz is the one who with your beauty made you lose your reason

and who has intoxicated your spirit with his magnificence.

Yes oh mom, she is more than that.

Doesn't she deserve it?

Yes.

If oh Marouane.

I don't know anything bad about it.

It has all the virtues of truthfulness and purity.

What an excellent daughter, my son, may Allah rejoice with her.

May Allah rejoice you.

Be for her as you wish it to be for you.

I will do everything I can to compensate for the loss of his family.

Yes O Marouane.

Yes, my son.

The loss of her family broke her heart.

Perhaps Allah has wished you well by bringing you together.

Be a compensation for her family, my daughter.

I commit to it, oh oum Marouane.

I agree.

What is happening to you O Souhayb?

You are not as usual.

How can I be as usual when ibn Hanbal remains an obstacle in my way?

There is a weight on my chest.

If I can't break it in science and surpass it,

he won't intimidate me.

What do you mean ô Souhayb?

I am going to teach ibn Hanbal a lesson after which he can no longer look at me except by being bowed.

You're not going to do something so stupid.

I'm the one who's stupid if I don't do it.

Are you with me or not?

With you in what?

Are you planning to perpetrate against a boy who hasn't come near you and you want us to help you with your crime and your stupidity?

What a bad friend you are, Badr.

Are we not friends in ease and difficulty?

Yes.

I am the friend of Souhayb the reasonable and just that I do not give up during difficulties,

but I am not the friend of Souhayb the stupid that jealousy carries to make imbeciles.

I will never help you in your injustice.

Are you abandoning me?

I advise you rather not to go astray in your error

just because your suspicions have embellished you that ibn Hanbal is making fun of you.

And you ?

With me or not ?!

Ask the price to buy.

Take my brother.

Take my sister.

Welcome.

Take.

Allah has given a lot of science to Imam Abi Mu'awiyah.

That is true.

He is the scholar of Baghdad and his scholar of the hadith.

We did well to go to his course.

How do you find yourself in the science of hadith?

To tell the truth, I have a little trouble with the multitude of transmission chains.

It is obvious because we are at the beginning of the road and things will be easier with the days if Allah wills.

I hope this if Allah wills.

Keep that for me.

Peace be with you.

Peace be with you.

Do you need a worker?

For two dirhams.

With the blessing of Allah.

I am under your orders ô sir aba al-Fadl.

Do not underestimate what has been entrusted to you ô ibn Sahl.

He is the eldest son of the prince of believers and the apple of his eye.

Any little mistake as small as it will be enough to throw you in jail and you will never see the sunlight again.

Be reassured, majesty, be reassured.

I will take care of the son of the prince of believers as I take care of myself.

And much more if necessary.

The days will prove your efficiency.

I am delighted that the prince of believers have entrusted you with the governance of Khorrassan oh majesty.

Be blessed, oh ibn Sahl.

Be blessed, sit down.

What is worrying today?

To tell the truth, oh sir, I am embarrassed by our habitation me and my mother in a reed hut

which barely covers us and which does not repel the heat of summer and the cold of winter.

So what ?

So what ..

I told myself that if you made an advance on my salary, I could rent a modest house that will cover us.

I will not refuse you anything, but on condition that the rental of the house is on my account.

I fear, sir, that I cannot accept this.

It was you who taught me to be proud

and that earning even a little bit of the labor of my work is better than waiting for alms and donations.

As you wish.

Go find a house that suits you and come get what you need for money as a loan.

Thank you, oh sir.

I will write down my debt until its term and I promise to repay you before the term defined.

God willing.

Peace be upon you oh oum Ahmad.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

You were late O my son.

Were you at your uncle's house

No, I was not at my uncle's house.

And so ?

What is that ?

Money ?!

I swear it was after I left my master's class.

Where did you go

I found a trader who unloaded his merchandise after my return from my master Houshaim.

I helped him in his work and I took two dirhams as salary for it.

I don't want anything to occupy you with your studies oh my son.

What we get from the shop rent and the rugs I sell are enough for our needs.

The working hand is better than the working hand, oh oum Ahmad.

You are right.

You are hungry ?

Today I fast and praise Allah.

Praise be to Allah.

Do you fast and work in the port of goods?

What will I do with you ô ibn Hanbal ?!

Aah oh my son.

Do what you want with me.

You will not take my freedom from me.

I'm free.
