1 00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,740 In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. 2 00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:13,289 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 3 00:00:13,289 --> 00:00:17,769 *The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah)*, 4 00:00:17,769 --> 00:00:23,120 Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid al-Azimi, 5 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,120 May Allah preserve him. 6 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:33,259 Treating the Wounds of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 7 00:00:33,259 --> 00:00:37,700 When the battle came to an end, 8 00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:39,700 The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) set about 9 00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:44,700 Treating the wounds of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 10 00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:48,700 Ibn Hibban recorded in his *Sahih* with a strong chain of transmission 11 00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,700 On the authority of al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 12 00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:55,700 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) commanded 13 00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,700 Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), 14 00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:00,700 So he went to al-Mihras— 15 00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:03,700 Which was a natural water basin at Mount Uhud— 16 00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:06,700 And brought him water in his leather shield, 17 00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,700 Meaning his buckler made of hide. 18 00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:13,730 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) intended to drink from it, 19 00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:16,730 But he detected an unpleasant smell in it and so disliked it, 20 00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:19,730 Using it instead to wash the blood from his face, 21 00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:22,730 While saying (peace be upon him): 22 00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:29,730 "Intense is the wrath of Allah upon whoever caused the face of the Messenger of Allah to bleed." 23 00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:33,019 And the two Sheikhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] recorded in their *Sahih*s 24 00:01:33,019 --> 00:01:36,019 On the authority of Sahl ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), 25 00:01:36,019 --> 00:01:42,019 That he was asked about the wound of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the day of Uhud, 26 00:01:42,019 --> 00:01:44,019 Whereupon he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 27 00:01:44,019 --> 00:01:48,019 "The face of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was wounded, 28 00:01:48,019 --> 00:01:50,019 His lower right incisor was broken, 29 00:01:50,019 --> 00:01:53,019 And the helmet was crushed upon his head. 30 00:01:53,019 --> 00:01:59,079 Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, was washing away the blood, 31 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:05,079 While Ali ibn Abi Talib was pouring water over it using a shield— 32 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,079 Meaning a buckler. 33 00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:12,080 But when Fatimah saw that the water only increased the bleeding, 34 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,080 She took a piece of matting, 35 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,080 Burned it until it turned to ashes, 36 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,080 And then applied it to the wound, 37 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,080 Whereupon the blood ceased flowing." 38 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,810 The Muslims Inspecting and Burying Their Martyrs. 39 00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:35,349 Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and his Companions went down to inspect their slain, 40 00:02:35,349 --> 00:02:41,349 And the Messenger of Allah commanded that the martyrs of Uhud be gathered 41 00:02:41,349 --> 00:02:43,349 And buried where they fell, 42 00:02:43,349 --> 00:02:47,349 Not to be carried back to Medina to be buried there. 43 00:02:47,349 --> 00:02:52,349 Abu Dawud recorded in his *Sunan* with an authentic chain of transmission 44 00:02:52,349 --> 00:02:56,349 On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 45 00:02:56,349 --> 00:03:00,349 "We had carried our slain on the day of Uhud to bury them [in Medina], 46 00:03:00,349 --> 00:03:05,349 When the caller of the Prophet (peace be upon him) came and said: 47 00:03:05,349 --> 00:03:12,349 'The Messenger of Allah commands you to bury the slain where they fell.' 48 00:03:12,349 --> 00:03:14,349 So we brought them back." 49 00:03:14,349 --> 00:03:19,539 In the narration of Imam al-Tirmidhi in his *Jami'* with an authentic chain, 50 00:03:19,539 --> 00:03:22,539 Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 51 00:03:22,539 --> 00:03:29,539 "On the day of Uhud, my paternal aunt brought my father to bury him in our family graveyard, 52 00:03:29,539 --> 00:03:34,539 But the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) announced: 53 00:03:34,539 --> 00:03:37,539 'Return the slain to their resting places!'" 54 00:03:37,539 --> 00:03:41,610 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) also commanded 55 00:03:41,610 --> 00:03:45,610 That two or three men be buried together in a single grave, 56 00:03:45,610 --> 00:03:47,610 The reason being 57 00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:50,610 That they were exhausted and unable to dig individual graves 58 00:03:50,610 --> 00:03:53,610 Because of the wounds they had suffered. 59 00:03:53,610 --> 00:03:56,639 Abu Dawud recorded in his *Sunan*, 60 00:03:56,639 --> 00:04:00,639 And al-Tirmidhi in his *Jami'* with an authentic chain— 61 00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:02,639 The wording being that of Abu Dawud— 62 00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:06,639 On the authority of Hisham ibn Amir (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 63 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:13,639 "The Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the day of Uhud and said: 64 00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:15,639 'We have suffered wounds and great exhaustion, 65 00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:17,639 So what do you instruct us to do?' 66 00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:21,639 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 67 00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:23,639 'Dig, make the graves spacious, 68 00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:26,639 And place two or three in a single grave.' 69 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,639 It was asked, 'Which of them should be placed first?' 70 00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:33,639 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied: 71 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:35,639 'The one who knew the most Qur'an.' 72 00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:37,639 Hisham said: 73 00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:41,639 'My father, Amir, was slain that day and placed alongside two others,' 74 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:43,639 Or he said, 'one other.'" 75 00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:45,670 And in the wording of Imam al-Tirmidhi, 76 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:47,670 Hisham said: 77 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:49,670 "My father died, 78 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:51,670 And he was placed first ahead of two other men." 79 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:55,769 Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his *Sahih* 80 00:04:55,769 --> 00:04:59,769 On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 81 00:04:59,769 --> 00:05:06,769 "The Prophet (peace be upon him) would shroud two men from among the slain of Uhud in a single garment, 82 00:05:06,769 --> 00:05:08,769 Then he would ask: 83 00:05:08,769 --> 00:05:11,769 'Which of them had acquired more of the Qur'an?' 84 00:05:11,769 --> 00:05:14,769 Whenever one of them was pointed out to him, 85 00:05:14,769 --> 00:05:16,769 He would place him first into the niche of the grave (lahd)." 86 00:05:16,769 --> 00:05:18,829 Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said: 87 00:05:18,829 --> 00:05:20,829 "The Sunnah regarding martyrs 88 00:05:20,829 --> 00:05:23,829 Is that they are buried where they fell, 89 00:05:23,829 --> 00:05:26,829 And are not transported to any other place." 90 00:05:26,829 --> 00:05:32,009 The Virtue of the Martyrs of Uhud. 91 00:05:32,009 --> 00:05:35,389 Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his *Sahih* 92 00:05:35,389 --> 00:05:39,389 On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 93 00:05:39,389 --> 00:05:43,389 "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 94 00:05:43,389 --> 00:05:46,389 'I am a witness over these [martyrs].'" 95 00:05:46,389 --> 00:05:50,420 Imam Ahmad recorded in his *Musnad* with a good chain of transmission 96 00:05:50,420 --> 00:05:54,420 On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 97 00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:58,420 "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say, 98 00:05:58,420 --> 00:06:01,420 Whenever the companions of Uhud were mentioned: 99 00:06:01,420 --> 00:06:06,420 'By Allah, I wish I had been left behind with the companions at the foot of the mountain'— 100 00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:09,420 Meaning the base of the mountain." 101 00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:11,579 Imam Ahmad recorded in his *Musnad*, 102 00:06:11,579 --> 00:06:15,579 As well as Abu Dawud and al-Hakim, with a good chain of transmission, 103 00:06:15,579 --> 00:06:19,579 On the authority of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: 104 00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:23,579 "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 105 00:06:23,579 --> 00:06:26,579 'When your brothers were slain at Uhud, 106 00:06:26,579 --> 00:06:30,579 Allah placed their souls inside green birds 107 00:06:30,579 --> 00:06:32,579 That drink from the rivers of Paradise, 108 00:06:32,579 --> 00:06:34,579 Eat from its fruits, 109 00:06:34,579 --> 00:06:40,579 And shelter in golden lamps suspended in the shade of the Throne. 110 00:06:40,579 --> 00:06:45,579 When they experienced the delight of their food, drink, and resting places, 111 00:06:45,579 --> 00:06:49,579 They said: Who will convey to our brothers on our behalf 112 00:06:49,579 --> 00:06:52,579 That we are alive in Paradise, being sustained, 113 00:06:52,579 --> 00:06:55,579 So that they do not renounce jihad 114 00:06:55,579 --> 00:06:58,579 Nor falter in the face of battle? 115 00:06:58,579 --> 00:07:00,579 Thereupon Allah Almighty said: 116 00:07:00,579 --> 00:07:02,579 I shall convey it to them on your behalf.' 117 00:07:02,579 --> 00:07:06,579 He said: 'So Allah, Mighty and Majestic is He, revealed:'" 118 00:07:06,579 --> 00:07:14,579 “Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their Lord they have provision.” (3:169) 119 00:07:14,579 --> 00:07:21,579 “Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their Lord they have provision.” (3:169) 120 00:07:21,579 --> 00:07:23,579 Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said: 121 00:07:23,579 --> 00:07:26,579 "As for the souls of the martyrs, 122 00:07:26,579 --> 00:07:29,579 They reside inside the crops of green birds, 123 00:07:29,579 --> 00:07:34,579 Being like brilliant stars in comparison to the souls of the general believers, 124 00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:37,579 Which fly freely by themselves." 125 00:07:37,579 --> 00:07:40,579 We ask Allah, the Generous, the Bestower of all grace, 126 00:07:40,579 --> 00:07:43,579 To keep us firm upon faith. 127 00:07:43,579 --> 00:07:48,060 *The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah)*. 128 00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:55,060 Though long may be the longing people feel for one another, 129 00:07:55,060 --> 00:08:01,290 The yearning for you exceeds all bounds and measures. 130 00:08:01,290 --> 00:08:07,860 May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised, 131 00:08:07,860 --> 00:08:16,980 And lips murmur praise for the Eternal One.
