00:00One man used to come to the Prophet ﷺ, one of the companions and he had a seven or eight-year-old son.
00:04This seven, eight-year-old son was called Hamamatul Masjid, Pigeon of the Mosque.
00:08Always there, everybody saw him fluttering into the mosque, flying into the mosque.
00:11And all the companions would love him while the Prophet ﷺ was speaking.
00:14One day, the man didn't arrive and Prophet ﷺ said,
00:16where is that man? The companion comes,
00:18said, oh, didn't you hear, Ya Rasulullah, his son passed away.
00:22Rasul ﷺ ran, went to his house, put his hand on his shoulder and said,
00:25which one would you prefer?
00:26That your son lives on and you get to see him and enjoy him growing up until you and him die,
00:31or that now there isn't a door of paradise that you reach,
00:36except that you find your son waiting for you at that door.
00:39Any door.
00:40And he's looking for his dad, looking for his mum.
00:42Which door will they go from?
00:43Hopping from one to the other.
00:44The angels help him and he doesn't want to enter paradise without them.
00:47And because of him, you enter.
00:48He said, Ya Rasulullah, the latter.
00:50I'd rather that one.
00:51He said, it is yours.
00:52Didn't tell him, heal yourself and get over it.
00:55Look forward to something greater.
00:56Have hope.
