key of the Ka'bah 00:05:28.819 --> 00:05:32.819 From its keeper, 'Uthman ibn Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:34.819 He then entered the House 00:05:34.819 -->

atop the roof of the Ka'bah. 00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:44.819 Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) returned 00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:48.819 The key to 'Uthman ibn Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:51.819 And confirmed his family's custodianship over it. 00:05:51.819 --> 00:05:55.230 Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih 00:05:55.230 --> 00:05:58.230 From Ibn

00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:37.389 But I outpaced them 00:06:37.389 --> 00:06:41.389 And found Bilal standing behind the door. 00:06:41.389 --> 00:06:43.389 I asked him: 00:06:43.389 --> 00:06:46.389 'Where did the Prophet (peace be upon him) pray?' 00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:48.389 He replied: 00:06:48.389 --> 00:06:52.389 'He prayed between those two front pillars.' 00:06:52.389 --> 00:06:56.389 The House stood upon six pillars arranged in two rows; 00:06:56.389 --> 00:07:00.389 He prayed between the two pillars of the front row, 00:07:00.389 --> 00:07:03.389 Keeping the door of the House behind his back, 00:07:03.389 --> 00:07:10.579 Facing the wall facing you as you enter the House, between himself and that wall." 00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:11.579 Ibn 'Umar said: 00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:15.939

them both, who said: 00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:26.970 "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived in the Year of the Conquest 00:07:26.970 --> 00:07:31.970 Upon a she-camel belonging to Usamah ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with them both, 00:07:31.970 --> 00:07:34.970 Until he made it kneel in the courtyard of the Ka'bah. 00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:37.970 He then summoned 'Uthman ibn Talhah 00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:38.970 And said: 00:07:38.970 --> 00:07:40.970 'Bring me the key.' 00:07:40.970 --> 00:07:43.000 So he went to his mother, 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.000 But she refused to give it to him. 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.000 He said to her: 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.000 'By Allah, you will certainly give it to me, 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.000 Or else this sword will surely pierce straight through my spine!' 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.000 He said: 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.000 So she gave it to him, 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.000 And he brought it to the Prophet (peace be upon him), 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.000 Handed it over to him, 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.160 And the door was opened." 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— 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.160 And the wording is that of Ibn Majah— 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.160 From Safiyyah bint Shaybah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 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, 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.160 He circumambulated atop a camel, 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.160 Touching the corner with a hooked staff in his hand. 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.160 He then entered the Ka'bah 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.160 And found inside it a dove made of wood, 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.159 So he broke it, 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.159 Then stood at the door of the Ka'bah and threw it out, 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.159 While I was watching."

the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived in Makkah, 00:08:49.509 --> 00:08:53.509 He refused to enter the House while idols were inside it. 00:08:53.509 --> 00:08:56.509 So he ordered them to be removed, and they were taken out. 00:08:56.509 --> 00:09:01.509 They brought out an image of Ibrahim and Isma'il holding divining arrows in their hands, 00:09:01.509 --> 00:09:05.580 Whereupon the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:07.580 'May Allah destroy them! 00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:10.580 They well knew that neither of them ever sought divination by arrows.'

00:09:22.830 From Jabir ibn 'Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:09:22.830 --> 00:09:25.830 "The Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:09:25.830 --> 00:09:31.830 Ordered 'Umar ibn

00:09:39.860 The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not enter it 00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:42.860 Until every image inside it was completely effaced." 00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:46.179 Al-Hafiz [Ibn Hajar] said in Fath al-Bari: 00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:52.179 "What appears evident is that he wiped away the images that were painted, for instance, 00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:55.179 And removed those that were carved figures. 00:09:55.179 --> 00:09:58.340 As for the hadith of Usamah, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:09:58.340 --> 00:10:02.340 Stating that the Prophet (peace be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, 00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:04.340 Saw an image of Ibrahim, 00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:08.340 Called for water, and began effacing it himself— 00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:12.340 It is understood to mean that some remnant had remained 00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:15.340 That escaped the notice of whoever had initially effaced the images." 00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:20.269 The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah). 00:10:21.269 --> 00:10:27.269 Though the longing of mortals for one another may endure, 00:10:27.269 --> 00:10:34.879 The yearning for you extends beyond all measure. 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:40.879 May Allah send blessings upon you whenever the call to prayer is raised, 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:49.809 And whenever lips move in praise of the Everlasting.
