00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:06.080
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.710
Ibn Ishaq said:

00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:11.710
'Umar ibn al-Khattab set out,

00:00:11.710 --> 00:00:15.710
along with 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah al-Makhzumi,

00:00:15.710 --> 00:00:17.710
until they arrived in Medina.

00:00:17.710 --> 00:00:21.940
Nafi', the freedman of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, narrated to me,

00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:23.940
on the authority of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar,

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:28.030
who reported that his father, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, said:

00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:32.030
"When we intended to migrate to Medina, I made an appointment

00:00:32.030 --> 00:00:35.030
with 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah

00:00:35.030 --> 00:00:38.030
and Hisham ibn al-'As ibn Wa'il al-Sahmi

00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:43.030
at al-Tanadub, a watering place of the Banu Ghifar above Saraf.

00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:48.030
We said, 'Whoever among us does not arrive there by morning has been detained,

00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:50.289
so his two companions should proceed.'

00:00:50.289 --> 00:00:55.289
I and 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah arrived at al-Tanadub by morning,

00:00:55.289 --> 00:00:57.289
but Hisham was detained from us.

00:00:57.289 --> 00:00:59.289
He was tempted and succumbed to the trial.

00:00:59.289 --> 00:01:01.670
When we arrived in Medina,

00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:05.670
we stayed with the Banu 'Amr ibn 'Awf in Quba'.

00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:08.799
Then Abu Jahl ibn Hisham

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.799
and al-Harith ibn Hisham set out

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.799
to find 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah,

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.799
for he was their cousin and their maternal brother.

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.799
They reached us in Medina,

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.

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.799
They spoke to him and said,

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.859
'Your mother has vowed that no comb shall touch her head until she sees you,

00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:36.859
and she will not seek shade from the sun until she sees you.'

00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:38.900
His heart softened for her.

00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:42.019
I said to him, 'O 'Ayyash,

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:47.019
by Allah, these people only want to tempt you away from your religion,

00:01:47.019 --> 00:01:49.019
so beware of them.

00:01:49.019 --> 00:01:53.019
By Allah, if lice were to bother your mother, she would surely comb her hair,

00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:58.019
and if the heat of Mecca became too intense for her, she would surely seek shade.'

00:01:58.019 --> 00:02:02.019
He replied, 'I will fulfill my mother's oath,

00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:05.019
and I have some wealth there that I will take.'

00:02:05.019 --> 00:02:11.219
I said, 'By Allah, you know that I am among the wealthiest of the Quraysh,

00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:13.219
so I will give you half of my wealth,

00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:15.219
but do not go with them.'

00:02:15.219 --> 00:02:19.250
Yet he refused my offer and insisted on going with them.

00:02:19.250 --> 00:02:22.439
When he insisted on doing so,

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.469
I said to him, 'Since you have decided to do what you have done,

00:02:26.469 --> 00:02:28.469
take this she-camel of mine,

00:02:28.469 --> 00:02:32.469
for she is a noble and docile mount.

00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:34.469
Keep to her back,

00:02:34.469 --> 00:02:37.469
and if you sense any treachery from these people,

00:02:37.469 --> 00:02:39.469
escape on her.'

00:02:39.469 --> 00:02:41.789
So he set out with them on her.

00:02:41.789 --> 00:02:44.789
When they were on the road,

00:02:44.789 --> 00:02:47.789
Abu Jahl said to him,

00:02:47.789 --> 00:02:50.789
'By Allah, my camel has become sluggish,

00:02:50.789 --> 00:02:54.789
will you not let me ride behind you on your she-camel?'

00:02:54.789 --> 00:02:57.789
He replied, 'Yes,' and made her kneel.

00:02:57.789 --> 00:03:00.789
They also made their camels kneel to switch mounts.

00:03:00.789 --> 00:03:02.789
When they were all on the ground,

00:03:02.789 --> 00:03:04.789
they fell upon him,

00:03:04.789 --> 00:03:06.789
bound him, and tied him up.

00:03:06.789 --> 00:03:09.789
Then they brought him into Mecca,

00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:11.789
and they tempted him, and he succumbed to the trial."

00:03:11.789 --> 00:03:14.020
Ibn Ishaq said:

00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:19.050
Someone from the family of 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabi'ah narrated to me

00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:22.050
that when they entered Mecca with him,

00:03:22.050 --> 00:03:25.050
they brought him in during the day, bound,

00:03:25.050 --> 00:03:27.050
and then said,

00:03:27.050 --> 00:03:29.050
"O people of Mecca,

00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:32.050
do this to your fools

00:03:32.050 --> 00:03:35.050
just as we have done to this fool of ours."

00:03:35.050 --> 00:03:39.139
'Umar had made every effort,

00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:43.139
but emotion overcame the heart of 'Ayyash.
