1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,720
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:13,230
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:17,750
The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah),

4
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:23,100
Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid al-'Azimi,

5
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:30,960
May Allah preserve him.

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,960
The Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Entry into Makkah—May Allah Honor It.

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,530
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered Makkah—may Allah honor it—

8
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:47,530
From Kada', which is in upper Makkah.

9
00:00:47,530 --> 00:00:50,530
It was a momentous, historic day.

10
00:00:50,530 --> 00:00:57,530
Before him (peace be upon him) were his Companions from the Emigrants (Muhajirun) and the Ansar, may Allah be pleased with them,

11
00:00:57,530 --> 00:01:01,530
While he rode his she-camel, wearing a helmet upon his head.

12
00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:05,530
His head was almost touching the front of his saddle

13
00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:08,530
Out of sheer humility before his Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He,

14
00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:13,530
While reciting Surah al-Fath, vibrating his voice with melodic repetition.

15
00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:16,530
He performed the arrival circumambulation (Tawaf al-Qudum) around the House,

16
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:19,689
But he did not perform sa'y, nor was he performing 'umrah.

17
00:01:19,689 --> 00:01:22,689
The two Shaykhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their two Sahihs

18
00:01:22,689 --> 00:01:25,689
From 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

19
00:01:25,689 --> 00:01:32,689
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) entered Makkah in the Year of the Conquest from Kada', in upper Makkah."

20
00:01:32,689 --> 00:01:36,010
And the two Shaykhs narrated in their two Sahihs

21
00:01:36,010 --> 00:01:40,040
From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:47,040
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered Makkah on the Day of the Conquest wearing an iron helmet upon his head."

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,040
In another wording in Sahih Muslim,

24
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,040
From Jabir ibn 'Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

25
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,040
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah

26
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,230
Wearing a black turban."

27
00:02:03,230 --> 00:02:05,230
Al-Qadi 'Iyad said:

28
00:02:05,230 --> 00:02:07,230
"The way to reconcile between the two narrations

29
00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:11,229
Is that upon his initial entry, he had a helmet on his head,

30
00:02:11,229 --> 00:02:15,229
And subsequently, a turban was upon his head

31
00:02:15,229 --> 00:02:17,229
After removing the helmet.

32
00:02:17,229 --> 00:02:19,229
The evidence for this is the narration stating:

33
00:02:19,229 --> 00:02:23,229
'He addressed the people wearing a black turban,'

34
00:02:23,229 --> 00:02:29,460
Because the sermon was delivered only at the door of the Ka'bah after the conquest of Makkah had been fully accomplished."

35
00:02:29,460 --> 00:02:32,460
Al-Hakim narrated in al-Mustadrak with a weak chain of transmission,

36
00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:35,460
Which has corroborating evidence that strengthens it,

37
00:02:35,460 --> 00:02:39,460
From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

38
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:44,460
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) entered Makkah on the Day of the Conquest

39
00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:48,460
With his chin resting on his saddle out of sheer submissiveness."

40
00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:51,780
The two Shaykhs narrated in their two Sahihs

41
00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:55,780
From 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

42
00:02:55,780 --> 00:03:01,870
"I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah upon his she-camel,

43
00:03:01,870 --> 00:03:05,870
Reciting Surah al-Fath with a vibrating, melodic tone."

44
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:16,039
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

45
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:19,039
From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

46
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:23,039
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) advanced

47
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:26,039
Until he reached the Stone [the Black Stone],

48
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:29,039
Touched it, and then circumambulated the House.

49
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:34,039
He then came upon an idol beside the House that they used to worship,

50
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:38,039
And in the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was a bow,

51
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:41,039
While he held the curved end of the bow—

52
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:44,039
That is, the bend at either tip of the bow.

53
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:47,099
When he approached the idol,

54
00:03:47,099 --> 00:03:50,099
He began poking it in the eye, saying:

55
00:03:50,099 --> 00:03:54,099
“And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)

56
00:03:54,099 --> 00:03:57,139
When he completed his circumambulation,

57
00:03:57,139 --> 00:04:00,139
He went to al-Safa and ascended it

58
00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:02,139
Until he looked at the House,

59
00:04:02,139 --> 00:04:05,139
And he raised his hands, beginning to praise Allah

60
00:04:05,139 --> 00:04:08,139
And supplicating with whatever he wished to supplicate."

61
00:04:08,139 --> 00:04:11,259
Imam al-Nawawi said:

62
00:04:11,259 --> 00:04:12,259
"In this hadith,

63
00:04:12,259 --> 00:04:16,259
It shows that one should begin with circumambulation upon first entering Makkah,

64
00:04:16,259 --> 00:04:19,259
Whether in a state of ihram for hajj or 'umrah,

65
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,329
Or not in a state of ihram.

66
00:04:21,329 --> 00:04:24,329
The Prophet (peace be upon him)

67
00:04:24,329 --> 00:04:26,329
Entered it on this day—

68
00:04:26,329 --> 00:04:28,329
Namely, the Day of the Conquest—

69
00:04:28,329 --> 00:04:31,329
Without being in ihram, by consensus of the Muslims.

70
00:04:31,329 --> 00:04:34,329
And he had a helmet upon his head;

71
00:04:34,329 --> 00:04:37,329
The hadiths consistently corroborate that,

72
00:04:37,329 --> 00:04:40,680
And scholarly consensus is firmly established upon it."

73
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
And the two Shaykhs narrated in their two Sahihs

74
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,779
From 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

75
00:04:47,779 --> 00:04:50,779
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered

76
00:04:50,779 --> 00:04:52,779
On that Day of the Conquest,

77
00:04:52,779 --> 00:04:56,779
While around the House were three hundred and sixty idols.

78
00:04:56,779 --> 00:05:00,779
He began striking them with a stick in his hand, saying:

79
00:05:00,779 --> 00:05:03,779
“And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)

80
00:05:03,779 --> 00:05:07,810
“And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)

81
00:05:07,810 --> 00:05:15,180
'The truth has come, and falsehood can neither originate nor repeat anything.'"

82
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:19,180
The Prophet's Entry (peace be upon him)

83
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:21,180
Into the Ka'bah.

84
00:05:22,180 --> 00:05:26,819
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) called

85
00:05:26,819 --> 00:05:28,819
For the key of the Ka'bah

86
00:05:28,819 --> 00:05:32,819
From its keeper, 'Uthman ibn Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him.

87
00:05:32,819 --> 00:05:34,819
He then entered the House

88
00:05:34,819 --> 00:05:36,819
And ordered that the images inside it be obliterated.

89
00:05:36,819 --> 00:05:39,819
On that day, Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, called the adhan

90
00:05:39,819 --> 00:05:41,819
From atop the roof of the Ka'bah.

91
00:05:41,819 --> 00:05:44,819
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) returned

92
00:05:44,819 --> 00:05:48,819
The key to 'Uthman ibn Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him,

93
00:05:48,819 --> 00:05:51,819
And confirmed his family's custodianship over it.

94
00:05:51,819 --> 00:05:55,230
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

95
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:58,230
From Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

96
00:05:58,230 --> 00:06:02,230
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived in the Year of the Conquest

97
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:06,230
Riding al-Qaswa' with Usamah seated behind him,

98
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:09,230
Accompanied by Bilal and 'Uthman ibn Talhah,

99
00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:12,230
Until he made his camel kneel beside the House.

100
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:14,329
He then said to 'Uthman:

101
00:06:14,329 --> 00:06:16,329
'Bring us the key.'

102
00:06:16,329 --> 00:06:18,389
So he brought the key

103
00:06:18,389 --> 00:06:20,389
And unlocked the door for him.

104
00:06:20,389 --> 00:06:23,389
The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered

105
00:06:23,389 --> 00:06:26,389
Along with Usamah, Bilal, and 'Uthman,

106
00:06:26,389 --> 00:06:29,389
And they closed the door behind them.

107
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,389
He remained inside for a long part of the day,

108
00:06:31,389 --> 00:06:33,389
Then he came out.

109
00:06:33,389 --> 00:06:35,389
The people rushed to enter,

110
00:06:35,389 --> 00:06:37,389
But I outpaced them

111
00:06:37,389 --> 00:06:41,389
And found Bilal standing behind the door.

112
00:06:41,389 --> 00:06:43,389
I asked him:

113
00:06:43,389 --> 00:06:46,389
'Where did the Prophet (peace be upon him) pray?'

114
00:06:46,389 --> 00:06:48,389
He replied:

115
00:06:48,389 --> 00:06:52,389
'He prayed between those two front pillars.'

116
00:06:52,389 --> 00:06:56,389
The House stood upon six pillars arranged in two rows;

117
00:06:56,389 --> 00:07:00,389
He prayed between the two pillars of the front row,

118
00:07:00,389 --> 00:07:03,389
Keeping the door of the House behind his back,

119
00:07:03,389 --> 00:07:10,579
Facing the wall facing you as you enter the House, between himself and that wall."

120
00:07:10,579 --> 00:07:11,579
Ibn 'Umar said:

121
00:07:11,579 --> 00:07:15,939
"And I forgot to ask him how many units of prayer he performed."

122
00:07:15,939 --> 00:07:18,939
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

123
00:07:18,939 --> 00:07:21,939
From Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

124
00:07:21,939 --> 00:07:26,970
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived in the Year of the Conquest

125
00:07:26,970 --> 00:07:31,970
Upon a she-camel belonging to Usamah ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with them both,

126
00:07:31,970 --> 00:07:34,970
Until he made it kneel in the courtyard of the Ka'bah.

127
00:07:34,970 --> 00:07:37,970
He then summoned 'Uthman ibn Talhah

128
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:38,970
And said:

129
00:07:38,970 --> 00:07:40,970
'Bring me the key.'

130
00:07:40,970 --> 00:07:43,000
So he went to his mother,

131
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
But she refused to give it to him.

132
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
He said to her:

133
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
'By Allah, you will certainly give it to me,

134
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Or else this sword will surely pierce straight through my spine!'

135
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
He said:

136
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
So she gave it to him,

137
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And he brought it to the Prophet (peace be upon him),

138
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Handed it over to him,

139
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,160
And the door was opened."

140
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,160
Ibn Majah narrated in his Sunan and Abu Dawud in his Sunan with a good chain of transmission—

141
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160
And the wording is that of Ibn Majah—

142
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,160
From Safiyyah bint Shaybah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

143
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,160
"When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was settled in the Year of the Conquest,

144
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160
He circumambulated atop a camel,

145
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,160
Touching the corner with a hooked staff in his hand.

146
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,160
He then entered the Ka'bah

147
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,160
And found inside it a dove made of wood,

148
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,159
So he broke it,

149
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:35,159
Then stood at the door of the Ka'bah and threw it out,

150
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:37,159
While I was watching."

151
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:40,509
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

152
00:08:40,509 --> 00:08:44,509
From Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

153
00:08:44,509 --> 00:08:49,509
"When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived in Makkah,

154
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:53,509
He refused to enter the House while idols were inside it.

155
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:56,509
So he ordered them to be removed, and they were taken out.

156
00:08:56,509 --> 00:09:01,509
They brought out an image of Ibrahim and Isma'il holding divining arrows in their hands,

157
00:09:01,509 --> 00:09:05,580
Whereupon the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

158
00:09:05,580 --> 00:09:07,580
'May Allah destroy them!

159
00:09:07,580 --> 00:09:10,580
They well knew that neither of them ever sought divination by arrows.'

160
00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:13,830
Then he entered the House."

161
00:09:13,830 --> 00:09:18,830
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad and Abu Dawud with an authentic chain of transmission

162
00:09:18,830 --> 00:09:22,830
From Jabir ibn 'Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

163
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:25,830
"The Prophet (peace be upon him)

164
00:09:25,830 --> 00:09:31,830
Ordered 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, at the time of the Conquest while he was at al-Batha',

165
00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:35,830
To go to the Ka'bah and efface every image inside it.

166
00:09:35,830 --> 00:09:39,860
The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not enter it

167
00:09:39,860 --> 00:09:42,860
Until every image inside it was completely effaced."

168
00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:46,179
Al-Hafiz [Ibn Hajar] said in Fath al-Bari:

169
00:09:46,179 --> 00:09:52,179
"What appears evident is that he wiped away the images that were painted, for instance,

170
00:09:52,179 --> 00:09:55,179
And removed those that were carved figures.

171
00:09:55,179 --> 00:09:58,340
As for the hadith of Usamah, may Allah be pleased with him,

172
00:09:58,340 --> 00:10:02,340
Stating that the Prophet (peace be upon him) entered the Ka'bah,

173
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:04,340
Saw an image of Ibrahim,

174
00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:08,340
Called for water, and began effacing it himself—

175
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:12,340
It is understood to mean that some remnant had remained

176
00:10:12,340 --> 00:10:15,340
That escaped the notice of whoever had initially effaced the images."

The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah).

178
00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:27,269
Though the longing of mortals for one another may endure,

179
00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:34,879
The yearning for you extends beyond all measure.

180
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:40,879
May Allah send blessings upon you whenever the call to prayer is raised,

181
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:49,809
And whenever lips move in praise of the Everlasting.
