00:00Peace be upon you.
00:01A humble leader.
00:04Baim came running in carrying his big, shiny new robot toy.
00:09Look, Ustadz, my robot is cool, right? It's very expensive.
00:13Baim exclaimed proudly.
00:15Ustadz Ayub laughed a little then nodded.
00:18But he wanted to teach something more valuable than expensive toys.
00:23Layla came and sat beside them.
00:27Ustadz Ayub began to speak softly.
00:30Baim, Layla, did you know that there was a great leader named Said bin Amir al-Jumahi?
00:39Even though he is a governor in the Homs region, he chooses to live a very simple life, far from luxury.
00:46Far in the past, in the hot city of Homs, Said bin Amir lived in a small, modest house.
00:55There was no fine silk or gold adorning the walls.
01:01Said believes that his duty as a leader is to serve the people, not to accumulate wealth.
01:08One day, Caliph Umar bin Khattab sent a pot of gold coins to Said as a gift.
01:15A messenger came carrying the heavy cloth bag.
01:18“This is a gift from the Caliph for you, O governor,” said the messenger as he handed over the bag.
01:25Arriving inside the house, Said looked at the bag of gold sadly.
01:31His wife asked,
01:33What happened? Is there any bad news?
01:36Said answered with a trembling voice.
01:40The world has come to bother me.
01:43This gold can keep us away from simplicity.
01:46Without the slightest hesitation, Said decided to distribute all the gold coins to the poor in his city.
01:53Lah didn't take a penny for himself.
01:58For him, honesty and peace of mind were far more valuable than all the gold in this world.
02:04Caliph Umar bin Khattab then visited Homs to hear the people's complaints.
02:10Some residents complained that Governor Said was often late leaving the house in the morning.
02:16The wise Caliph Umar listened carefully and wanted to hear Said's explanation directly.
02:23Said bin Amir teaches us that being great does not mean having lots of luxury goods.
02:30The most important thing is honesty and a sincere heart.
02:35Baim looked at his robot, then smiled.
02:38I understand Ustadz, sharing is cooler than just showing off.
02:43Thank you for watching!
