turned to the people and said: 00:09:04.330 --> 00:09:07.330 'Do you know what your Lord has said?' 00:09:07.330 --> 00:09:11.330 They said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' 00:09:11.330 --> 00:09:14.330 He said, 'Allah said: 00:09:14.330 --> 00:09:17.330 "This morning, some of My servants became believers in Me and others disbelievers. 00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:19.419 As for the one who said, 00:09:19.419 --> 00:09:22.419 'We have received rain by the grace and mercy of Allah,' 00:09:22.419 --> 00:09:26.419 that one is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. 00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:28.419 But as for the one who said, 00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:31.419 'We have received rain by such-and-such a star system,' 00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:35.419 that one is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the stars."' 00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:38.419 Because he attributed the coming of rain to something 00:09:38.419 --> 00:09:40.419 that is not a cause at all, 00:09:40.419 --> 00:09:42.419 which is the star. 00:09:42.419 --> 00:09:44.419 For the entire matter belongs to Allah. 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:46.419 The scholars distinguish 00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:49.419 between saying "We received rain by such-and-such a star" 00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:52.419 and saying "We received rain during such-and-such a star system." 00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:54.419 If one says, 00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:56.419 "We received rain by such-and-such a star," 00:09:56.419 --> 00:09:58.419 using the particle *bi-* to denote causality, 00:09:58.419 --> 00:10:01.419 then this is shirk (associating partners with Allah)—Allah forbid! 00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:03.419 As for when one says, 00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:05.419 "We received rain during such-and-such a star system," 00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:07.419 this is not shirk, 00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:11.419 provided he means that we received rain during that star system 00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:13.419 in a temporal sense— 00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:17.419 meaning at the time when that specific star was in a certain position, 00:10:17.419 --> 00:10:19.419 rain fell. 00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:21.460 This is permissible and there is no harm in it. 00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:23.460 Thus, there are three cases here: 00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:25.460 First: 00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:28.460 If he believes that the star itself sent down the rain, 00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:31.460 then this is major shirk. 00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:32.460 Second: 00:10:32.460 --> 00:10:36.460 If he believes that the star is a cause for the rain to fall, 00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:38.460 then this is minor shirk, 00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:42.460 because a cause must be established either by Islamic law or by natural observation, 00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:44.460 and here it is neither. 00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:46.519 Third: 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, 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.519 then this is permissible and there is no harm in it. 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.870 The Third Incident: 00:10:57.870 --> 00:10:59.870 Abu al-Malih said: 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, 00:11:04.870 --> 00:11:08.870 and rain struck us that did not even wet the soles of our sandals. 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.000 So the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) announced: 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.000 'Pray in your dwellings.' 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.000 Thus, it is from the Sunnah regarding prayer when rain falls 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.000 that the caller announces: 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.000 'Pray in your dwellings,' 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.000 meaning in your homes, 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.259 and that is in place of saying 'Come to prayer.'" 00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:32.259 The Fourth Incident: 00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:36.259 Miraculous signs occurred for the Prophet (peace be upon him). 00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:39.259 Among them is what we mentioned regarding the placement of the arrow, 00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:43.259 as well as what Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his *Sahih* 00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:46.259 on the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:49.259 "The people became thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaybiyyah, 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. 00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:56.259 He performed ablution from it, 00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:58.259 then the people approached him. 00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:01.259 The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: 00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:03.259 'What is the matter with you?' 00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:05.259 They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, 00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:08.259 we have no water to perform ablution or to drink 00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:11.289 except what is in your vessel.' 00:12:11.289 --> 00:12:12.289 He said:" 00:12:12.289 --> 00:12:16.289 So the Prophet (peace be upon him) placed his hand in the vessel, 00:12:16.289 --> 00:12:21.289 and water began gushing forth from between his fingers (peace be upon him) 00:12:21.289 --> 00:12:23.289 like springs of water. 00:12:23.289 --> 00:12:25.289 Jabir said: 00:12:25.289 --> 00:12:27.289 "So we drank and performed ablution." 00:12:27.289 --> 00:12:29.289 It was asked of Jabir: 00:12:29.289 --> 00:12:31.289 "How many were you that day?" 00:12:31.289 --> 00:12:32.289 He said: 00:12:32.289 --> 00:12:35.289 "If we were one hundred thousand, it would suffice us." 00:12:35.289 --> 00:12:37.289 We were fifteen hundred. 00:12:37.289 --> 00:12:40.289 Meaning one thousand five hundred. 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.769 We previously mentioned that the Quraysh, shortly before the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, 00:12:54.769 --> 00:12:59.769 sent 'Urwah Ibn Mas'ud to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:12:59.769 --> 00:13:01.769 Then they sent the leader of the Ahabish. 00:13:01.769 --> 00:13:04.769 Then Suhayl Ibn 'Amr came. 00:13:04.769 --> 00:13:06.769 During these meetings, 00:13:06.769 --> 00:13:10.769 the Prophet, peace be upon him, likewise 00:13:10.769 --> 00:13:12.769 had sent a messenger to them. 00:13:12.769 --> 00:13:15.769 For the Messenger, peace be upon him, summoned 00:13:15.769 --> 00:13:18.769 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:13:18.769 --> 00:13:22.769 and dispatched him to Abu Sufyan and the notables of Quraysh, 00:13:22.769 --> 00:13:25.769 to inform them that he had not come for war, 00:13:25.769 --> 00:13:28.769 but rather had come as a visitor to this House, 00:13:28.769 --> 00:13:30.860 honoring its sanctity. 00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:33.860 So 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, set out for Makkah, 00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:38.860 and Aban Ibn Sa'id Ibn al-'As met him when he entered Makkah, 00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:40.860 or before he entered it. 00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:42.860 He provided him protection, 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. 00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:50.860 Then 'Uthman departed, 00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:54.860 until he came to Abu Sufyan and the leaders of Quraysh, 00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:57.860 and he conveyed to them on behalf of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.860 that which he had been sent with. 00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:01.860 They said to 'Uthman, 00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:05.860 when he had delivered the message of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him: 00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:09.860 "If you wish to circumambulate the House, then do so." 00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:12.860 He replied, "I would not do so 00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:16.860 until the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, circumambulates it." 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. 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, 00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:34.059 full of longing to circumambulate the Great House of Allah. 00:14:34.059 --> 00:14:38.059 Yet he refrained from circumambulation, not out of lack of desire, 00:14:38.059 --> 00:14:43.059 but rather out of etiquette toward the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:46.220 Then the Quraysh detained him with them. 00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:51.220 A rumor reached the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and the Muslims 00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:54.220 that 'Uthman had been killed. 00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:56.220 This was a plausible matter, 00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.220 because there was fighting between them, 00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:01.220 [as seen in] Badr, Uhud, and the Trench. 00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:04.220 The Messenger had come with a large number, 00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:07.220 and the Quraysh were prepared for battle, 00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:10.220 and they did not fear Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. 00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:14.220 Thus, it was not unlikely that such people 00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:18.220 would have the audacity to kill 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:20.220 Ibn Ishaq said: 00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:23.220 "Abdullah Ibn Abi Bakr narrated to me, 00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:28.220 saying: 'When it reached him that 'Uthman had been killed, [he said]: 00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:31.220 We shall not depart until we fight the people.'" 00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:36.220 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called for the pledge of allegiance, 00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:39.220 and it was the Pledge of Ridwan under the tree. 00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:42.220 People used to say 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. 00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:49.309 But Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 00:15:49.309 --> 00:15:52.309 "The Messenger of Allah did not take our pledge to die, 00:15:52.309 --> 00:15:56.309 but he took our pledge that we would not flee." 00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:59.379 Some of the Companions mentioned that this pledge 00:15:59.379 --> 00:16:02.379 was a pledge to die in the way of Allah, 00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:06.379 and some mentioned that he took their pledge that they would not flee. 00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:08.379 Both are intertwined, 00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:12.379 because whoever does not flee is exposing himself to death. 00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:16.379 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took the pledge from the people, 00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:20.379 and not a single Muslim who was present held back, 00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:24.379 except for one man, who was Jadd Ibn Qays, 00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:26.379 of the Banu Salamah. 00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:31.379 It has been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that he said: 00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:35.379 "No one who pledged under the tree shall enter the Fire, 00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:37.379 except for the owner of the red camel." 00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:41.379 The owner of the red camel is Jadd Ibn Qays. 00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:45.379 The Prophet, peace be upon him, took the pledge of the Companions 00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:47.379 on this great day, 00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:51.379 and he pledged on behalf of 'Uthman with his own hand, peace be upon him, 00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:55.379 saying, "This is for 'Uthman." 00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:57.379 So he pledged on his behalf. 00:16:57.379 --> 00:17:02.379 His hand for 'Uthman was more honorable than 'Uthman's own hand for himself. 00:17:02.379 --> 00:17:05.380 After that was the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, 00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:07.380 and 'Uthman returned.
