1 00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:06,080 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,710 Ibn Ishaq said: 3 00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:11,710 'Umar ibn al-Khattab set out, 4 00:00:11,710 --> 00:00:15,710 along with 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah al-Makhzumi, 5 00:00:15,710 --> 00:00:17,710 until they arrived in Medina. 6 00:00:17,710 --> 00:00:21,940 Nafi', the freedman of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, narrated to me, 7 00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:23,940 on the authority of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, 8 00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:28,030 who reported that his father, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, said: 9 00:00:28,030 --> 00:00:32,030 "When we intended to migrate to Medina, I made an appointment 10 00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:35,030 with 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah 11 00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:38,030 and Hisham ibn al-'As ibn Wa'il al-Sahmi 12 00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:43,030 at al-Tanadub, a watering place of the Banu Ghifar above Saraf. 13 00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:48,030 We said, 'Whoever among us does not arrive there by morning has been detained, 14 00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:50,289 so his two companions should proceed.' 15 00:00:50,289 --> 00:00:55,289 I and 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah arrived at al-Tanadub by morning, 16 00:00:55,289 --> 00:00:57,289 but Hisham was detained from us. 17 00:00:57,289 --> 00:00:59,289 He was tempted and succumbed to the trial. 18 00:00:59,289 --> 00:01:01,670 When we arrived in Medina, 19 00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:05,670 we stayed with the Banu 'Amr ibn 'Awf in Quba'. 20 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:08,799 Then Abu Jahl ibn Hisham 21 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:10,799 and al-Harith ibn Hisham set out 22 00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:13,799 to find 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah, 23 00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:17,799 for he was their cousin and their maternal brother. 24 00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:20,799 They reached us in Medina, 25 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:24,799 while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was still in Mecca. 26 00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:26,799 They spoke to him and said, 27 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:32,859 'Your mother has vowed that no comb shall touch her head until she sees you, 28 00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:36,859 and she will not seek shade from the sun until she sees you.' 29 00:01:36,859 --> 00:01:38,900 His heart softened for her. 30 00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:42,019 I said to him, 'O 'Ayyash, 31 00:01:42,019 --> 00:01:47,019 by Allah, these people only want to tempt you away from your religion, 32 00:01:47,019 --> 00:01:49,019 so beware of them. 33 00:01:49,019 --> 00:01:53,019 By Allah, if lice were to bother your mother, she would surely comb her hair, 34 00:01:53,019 --> 00:01:58,019 and if the heat of Mecca became too intense for her, she would surely seek shade.' 35 00:01:58,019 --> 00:02:02,019 He replied, 'I will fulfill my mother's oath, 36 00:02:02,019 --> 00:02:05,019 and I have some wealth there that I will take.' 37 00:02:05,019 --> 00:02:11,219 I said, 'By Allah, you know that I am among the wealthiest of the Quraysh, 38 00:02:11,219 --> 00:02:13,219 so I will give you half of my wealth, 39 00:02:13,219 --> 00:02:15,219 but do not go with them.' 40 00:02:15,219 --> 00:02:19,250 Yet he refused my offer and insisted on going with them. 41 00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:22,439 When he insisted on doing so, 42 00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:26,469 I said to him, 'Since you have decided to do what you have done, 43 00:02:26,469 --> 00:02:28,469 take this she-camel of mine, 44 00:02:28,469 --> 00:02:32,469 for she is a noble and docile mount. 45 00:02:32,469 --> 00:02:34,469 Keep to her back, 46 00:02:34,469 --> 00:02:37,469 and if you sense any treachery from these people, 47 00:02:37,469 --> 00:02:39,469 escape on her.' 48 00:02:39,469 --> 00:02:41,789 So he set out with them on her. 49 00:02:41,789 --> 00:02:44,789 When they were on the road, 50 00:02:44,789 --> 00:02:47,789 Abu Jahl said to him, 51 00:02:47,789 --> 00:02:50,789 'By Allah, my camel has become sluggish, 52 00:02:50,789 --> 00:02:54,789 will you not let me ride behind you on your she-camel?' 53 00:02:54,789 --> 00:02:57,789 He replied, 'Yes,' and made her kneel. 54 00:02:57,789 --> 00:03:00,789 They also made their camels kneel to switch mounts. 55 00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:02,789 When they were all on the ground, 56 00:03:02,789 --> 00:03:04,789 they fell upon him, 57 00:03:04,789 --> 00:03:06,789 bound him, and tied him up. 58 00:03:06,789 --> 00:03:09,789 Then they brought him into Mecca, 59 00:03:09,789 --> 00:03:11,789 and they tempted him, and he succumbed to the trial." 60 00:03:11,789 --> 00:03:14,020 Ibn Ishaq said: 61 00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:19,050 Someone from the family of 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah narrated to me 62 00:03:19,050 --> 00:03:22,050 that when they entered Mecca with him, 63 00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:25,050 they brought him in during the day, bound, 64 00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:27,050 and then said, 65 00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:29,050 "O people of Mecca, 66 00:03:29,050 --> 00:03:32,050 do this to your fools 67 00:03:32,050 --> 00:03:35,050 just as we have done to this fool of ours." 68 00:03:35,050 --> 00:03:39,139 'Umar had made every effort, 69 00:03:39,139 --> 00:03:43,139 but emotion overcame the heart of 'Ayyash.
