00:08:33,879 Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 138 00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:35,879 "Fast three days, 139 00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:38,879 or give a farag of food in charity among six poor people, 140 00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:42,299 or offer a sacrifice of whatever is easily available." 141 00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:44,299 The Second Incident: 142 00:08:44,299 --> 00:08:46,299 A Matter of Creed. 143 00:08:46,299 --> 00:08:51,299 On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 144 00:08:51,299 --> 00:08:55,299 "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led us in 145 00:08:55,299 --> 00:08:57,299 the Dawn prayer at Al-Hudaybiyyah 146 00:08:57,299 --> 00:09:00,299 following rainfall that had fallen during the night. 147 00:09:00,299 --> 00:09:04,330 When he finished, he turned to the people and said: 148 00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:07,330 'Do you know what your Lord has said?' 149 00:09:07,330 --> 00:09:11,330 They said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' 150 00:09:11,330 --> 00:09:14,330 He said, 'Allah said: 151 00:09:14,330 --> 00:09:17,330 "This morning, some of My servants became believers in Me and others disbelievers. 152 00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,419 As for the one who said, 153 00:09:19,419 --> 00:09:22,419 'We have received rain by the grace and mercy of Allah,' 154 00:09:22,419 --> 00:09:26,419 that one is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. 155 00:09:26,419 --> 00:09:28,419 But as for the one who said, 156 00:09:28,419 --> 00:09:31,419 'We have received rain by such-and-such a star system,' 157 00:09:31,419 --> 00:09:35,419 that one is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the stars."' 158 00:09:35,419 --> 00:09:38,419 Because he attributed the coming of rain to something 159 00:09:38,419 --> 00:09:40,419 that is not a cause at all, 160 00:09:40,419 --> 00:09:42,419 which is the star. 161 00:09:42,419 --> 00:09:44,419 For the entire matter belongs to Allah. 162 00:09:44,419 --> 00:09:46,419 The scholars distinguish 163 00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:49,419 between saying "We received rain by such-and-such a star" 164 00:09:49,419 --> 00:09:52,419 and saying "We received rain during such-and-such a star system." 165 00:09:52,419 --> 00:09:54,419 If one says, 166 00:09:54,419 --> 00:09:56,419 "We received rain by such-and-such a star," 167 00:09:56,419 --> 00:09:58,419 using the particle *bi-* to denote causality, 168 00:09:58,419 --> 00:10:01,419 then this is shirk (associating partners with Allah)—Allah forbid! 169 00:10:01,419 --> 00:10:03,419 As for when one says, 170 00:10:03,419 --> 00:10:05,419 "We received rain during such-and-such a star system," 171 00:10:05,419 --> 00:10:07,419 this is not shirk, 172 00:10:07,419 --> 00:10:11,419 provided he means that we received rain during that star system 173 00:10:11,419 --> 00:10:13,419 in a temporal sense— 174 00:10:13,419 --> 00:10:17,419 meaning at the time when that specific star was in a certain position, 175 00:10:17,419 --> 00:10:19,419 rain fell. 176 00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:21,460 This is permissible and there is no harm in it. 177 00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:23,460 Thus, there are three cases here: 178 00:10:23,460 --> 00:10:25,460 First: 179 00:10:25,460 --> 00:10:28,460 If he believes that the star itself sent down the rain, 180 00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:31,460 then this is major shirk. 181 00:10:31,460 --> 00:10:32,460 Second: 182 00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:36,460 If he believes that the star is a cause for the rain to fall, 183 00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:38,460 then this is minor shirk, 184 00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:42,460 because a cause must be established either by Islamic law or by natural observation, 185 00:10:42,460 --> 00:10:44,460 and here it is neither. 186 00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:46,519 Third: 187 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:51,519 If he believes that the rain fell at the time when the star was in that position, 188 00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:54,519 then this is permissible and there is no harm in it. 189 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:57,870 The Third Incident: 190 00:10:57,870 --> 00:10:59,870 Abu al-Malih said: 191 00:10:59,870 --> 00:11:04,870 "I remember being with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the day of Al-Hudaybiyyah, 192 00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:08,870 and rain struck us that did not even wet the soles of our sandals. 193 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000 So the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) announced: 194 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000 'Pray in your dwellings.' 195 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000 Thus, it is from the Sunnah regarding prayer when rain falls 196 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000 that the caller announces: 197 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000 'Pray in your dwellings,' 198 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000 meaning in your homes, 199 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,259 and that is in place of saying 'Come to prayer.'" 200 00:11:30,259 --> 00:11:32,259 The Fourth Incident: 201 00:11:32,259 --> 00:11:36,259 Miraculous signs occurred for the Prophet (peace be upon him). 202 00:11:36,259 --> 00:11:39,259 Among them is what we mentioned regarding the placement of the arrow, 203 00:11:39,259 --> 00:11:43,259 as well as what Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his *Sahih* 204 00:11:43,259 --> 00:11:46,259 on the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 205 00:11:46,259 --> 00:11:49,259 "The people became thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaybiyyah, 206 00:11:49,259 --> 00:11:54,259 and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a small water vessel in front of him. 207 00:11:54,259 --> 00:11:56,259 He performed ablution from it, 208 00:11:56,259 --> 00:11:58,259 then the people approached him. 209 00:11:58,259 --> 00:12:01,259 The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: 210 00:12:01,259 --> 00:12:03,259 'What is the matter with you?' 211 00:12:03,259 --> 00:12:05,259 They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, 212 00:12:05,259 --> 00:12:08,259 we have no water to perform ablution or to drink 213 00:12:08,259 --> 00:12:11,289 except what is in your vessel.' 214 00:12:11,289 --> 00:12:12,289 He said:" 215 00:12:12,289 --> 00:12:16,289 So the Prophet (peace be upon him) placed his hand in the vessel, 216 00:12:16,289 --> 00:12:21,289 and water began gushing forth from between his fingers (peace be upon him) 217 00:12:21,289 --> 00:12:23,289 like springs of water. 218 00:12:23,289 --> 00:12:25,289 Jabir said: 219 00:12:25,289 --> 00:12:27,289 "So we drank and performed ablution." 220 00:12:27,289 --> 00:12:29,289 It was asked of Jabir: 221 00:12:29,289 --> 00:12:31,289 "How many were you that day?" 222 00:12:31,289 --> 00:12:32,289 He said: 223 00:12:32,289 --> 00:12:35,289 "If we were one hundred thousand, it would suffice us." 224 00:12:35,289 --> 00:12:37,289 We were fifteen hundred. 225 00:12:37,289 --> 00:12:40,289 Meaning one thousand five hundred. 226 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,769 We previously mentioned that the Quraysh, shortly before the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, 227 00:12:54,769 --> 00:12:59,769 sent 'Urwah Ibn Mas'ud to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 228 00:12:59,769 --> 00:13:01,769 Then they sent the leader of the Ahabish. 229 00:13:01,769 --> 00:13:04,769 Then Suhayl Ibn 'Amr came. 230 00:13:04,769 --> 00:13:06,769 During these meetings, 231 00:13:06,769 --> 00:13:10,769 the Prophet, peace be upon him, likewise 232 00:13:10,769 --> 00:13:12,769 had sent a messenger to them. 233 00:13:12,769 --> 00:13:15,769 For the Messenger, peace be upon him, summoned 234 00:13:15,769 --> 00:13:18,769 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, 235 00:13:18,769 --> 00:13:22,769 and dispatched him to Abu Sufyan and the notables of Quraysh, 236 00:13:22,769 --> 00:13:25,769 to inform them that he had not come for war, 237 00:13:25,769 --> 00:13:28,769 but rather had come as a visitor to this House, 238 00:13:28,769 --> 00:13:30,860 honoring its sanctity. 239 00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:33,860 So 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, set out for Makkah, 240 00:13:33,860 --> 00:13:38,860 and Aban Ibn Sa'id Ibn al-'As met him when he entered Makkah, 241 00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:40,860 or before he entered it. 242 00:13:40,860 --> 00:13:42,860 He provided him protection, 243 00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:48,860 and granted him safe passage until he delivered the message of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 244 00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:50,860 Then 'Uthman departed, 245 00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:54,860 until he came to Abu Sufyan and the leaders of Quraysh, 246 00:13:54,860 --> 00:13:57,860 and he conveyed to them on behalf of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 247 00:13:57,860 --> 00:13:59,860 that which he had been sent with. 248 00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:01,860 They said to 'Uthman, 249 00:14:01,860 --> 00:14:05,860 when he had delivered the message of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him: 250 00:14:05,860 --> 00:14:09,860 "If you wish to circumambulate the House, then do so." 251 00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:12,860 He replied, "I would not do so 252 00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:16,860 until the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, circumambulates it." 253 00:14:16,860 --> 00:14:24,059 This is a sign of refined etiquette and immense love for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 254 00:14:24,059 --> 00:14:30,059 Otherwise, 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan was like any other of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 255 00:14:30,059 --> 00:14:34,059 full of longing to circumambulate the Great House of Allah. 256 00:14:34,059 --> 00:14:38,059 Yet he refrained from circumambulation, not out of lack of desire, 257 00:14:38,059 --> 00:14:43,059 but rather out of etiquette toward the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 258 00:14:43,059 --> 00:14:46,220 Then the Quraysh detained him with them. 259 00:14:46,220 --> 00:14:51,220 A rumor reached the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and the Muslims 260 00:14:51,220 --> 00:14:54,220 that 'Uthman had been killed. 261 00:14:54,220 --> 00:14:56,220 This was a plausible matter, 262 00:14:56,220 --> 00:14:58,220 because there was fighting between them, 263 00:14:58,220 --> 00:15:01,220 [as seen in] Badr, Uhud, and the Trench. 264 00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:04,220 The Messenger had come with a large number, 265 00:15:04,220 --> 00:15:07,220 and the Quraysh were prepared for battle, 266 00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:10,220 and they did not fear Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. 267 00:15:10,220 --> 00:15:14,220 Thus, it was not unlikely that such people 268 00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:18,220 would have the audacity to kill 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him. 269 00:15:18,220 --> 00:15:20,220 Ibn Ishaq said: 270 00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:23,220 "Abdullah Ibn Abi Bakr narrated to me, 271 00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:28,220 saying: 'When it reached him that 'Uthman had been killed, [he said]: 272 00:15:28,220 --> 00:15:31,220 We shall not depart until we fight the people.'" 273 00:15:31,220 --> 00:15:36,220 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called for the pledge of allegiance, 274 00:15:36,220 --> 00:15:39,220 and it was the Pledge of Ridwan under the tree. 275 00:15:39,220 --> 00:15:42,220 People used to say 276 00:15:42,220 --> 00:15:46,220 that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took their pledge to fight to the death. 277 00:15:46,220 --> 00:15:49,309 But Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 278 00:15:49,309 --> 00:15:52,309 "The Messenger of Allah did not take our pledge to die, 279 00:15:52,309 --> 00:15:56,309 but he took our pledge that we would not flee." 280 00:15:56,309 --> 00:15:59,379 Some of the Companions mentioned that this pledge 281 00:15:59,379 --> 00:16:02,379 was a pledge to die in the way of Allah, 282 00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:06,379 and some mentioned that he took their pledge that they would not flee. 283 00:16:06,379 --> 00:16:08,379 Both are intertwined, 284 00:16:08,379 --> 00:16:12,379 because whoever does not flee is exposing himself to death. 285 00:16:12,379 --> 00:16:16,379 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took the pledge from the people, 286 00:16:16,379 --> 00:16:20,379 and not a single Muslim who was present held back, 287 00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:24,379 except for one man, who was Jadd Ibn Qays, 288 00:16:24,379 --> 00:16:26,379 of the Banu Salamah. 289 00:16:26,379 --> 00:16:31,379 It has been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that he said: 290 00:16:31,379 --> 00:16:35,379 "No one who pledged under the tree shall enter the Fire, 291 00:16:35,379 --> 00:16:37,379 except for the owner of the red camel." 292 00:16:37,379 --> 00:16:41,379 The owner of the red camel is Jadd Ibn Qays. 293 00:16:41,379 --> 00:16:45,379 The Prophet, peace be upon him, took the pledge of the Companions 294 00:16:45,379 --> 00:16:47,379 on this great day, 295 00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:51,379 and he pledged on behalf of 'Uthman with his own hand, peace be upon him, 296 00:16:51,379 --> 00:16:55,379 saying, "This is for 'Uthman." 297 00:16:55,379 --> 00:16:57,379 So he pledged on his behalf. 298 00:16:57,379 --> 00:17:02,379 His hand for 'Uthman was more honorable than 'Uthman's own hand for himself. 299 00:17:02,379 --> 00:17:05,380 After that was the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, 300 00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:07,380 and 'Uthman returned.
