1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,399
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:06,889
Treasures of the Prophetic biography.

3
00:00:06,889 --> 00:00:14,300
His modesty, peace be upon him.

4
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:20,839
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

5
00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:24,469
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

6
00:00:24,469 --> 00:00:28,269
was more modest than a virgin in her private quarters.

7
00:00:28,269 --> 00:00:32,469
Whenever he disliked something, we would recognize it on his face.

8
00:00:33,170 --> 00:00:36,369
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

9
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:38,969
The Prophet, peace be upon him,

10
00:00:38,969 --> 00:00:41,770
whenever he heard something about a man,

11
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:44,969
would not say, "What is the matter with so-and-so that he says such things?"

12
00:00:44,969 --> 00:00:46,770
Rather, he would say,

13
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:49,969
"What is the matter with some people who say such and such?"

14
00:00:49,969 --> 00:00:53,460
He would forbid the act without naming the person.

15
00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:55,460
'A'ishah also said:

16
00:00:55,460 --> 00:00:58,259
The Prophet, peace be upon him,

17
00:00:58,259 --> 00:01:01,259
was neither indecent nor prone to indecency,

18
00:01:01,259 --> 00:01:03,859
nor was he loud in the marketplaces,

19
00:01:03,859 --> 00:01:06,859
nor did he repay evil with evil.

20
00:01:06,859 --> 00:01:09,260
Instead, he would pardon and overlook.

21
00:01:23,019 --> 00:01:26,019
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both:

22
00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:29,219
'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

23
00:01:29,219 --> 00:01:33,420
I entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

24
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:36,620
and found him lying on a reed mat.

25
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:39,620
He pulled his lower garment up and sat down,

26
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:42,819
and the marks of the mat were visible on his side.

27
00:01:42,819 --> 00:01:48,219
I cast my eyes around the storage area of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

28
00:01:48,219 --> 00:01:51,420
and found nothing of worldly value in it

29
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:54,019
except for two handfuls of barley,

30
00:01:54,019 --> 00:01:55,819
and a handful of acacia leaves,

31
00:01:55,819 --> 00:01:57,819
totaling about two sa' measures.

32
00:01:57,819 --> 00:01:59,819
My eyes welled up with tears.

33
00:01:59,819 --> 00:02:03,620
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked,

34
00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:06,219
"What makes you weep, O Ibn al-Khattab?"

35
00:02:06,219 --> 00:02:08,419
I replied, "O Messenger of Allah,

36
00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:10,419
how could I not weep,

37
00:02:10,419 --> 00:02:14,020
when you are the chosen one of Allah, His Messenger, and His select creation,

38
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:16,219
yet this is your storehouse,

39
00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:19,419
while Chosroes and Caesar live amidst fruits and rivers?

40
00:02:19,419 --> 00:02:21,419
And you are in this state?"

41
00:02:21,419 --> 00:02:23,620
He said, "O Ibn al-Khattab,

42
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:26,419
are you not pleased that the Hereafter is for us,

43
00:02:26,419 --> 00:02:28,419
and the worldly life is for them?"

44
00:02:28,419 --> 00:02:31,020
I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."

45
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:33,819
He said, "Then praise be to Allah."

46
00:02:33,819 --> 00:02:37,050
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

47
00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:40,050
I entered upon the Prophet, peace be upon him,

48
00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:43,449
while he was on a bed woven with strips of palm fiber,

49
00:02:43,449 --> 00:02:47,250
and under his head was a pillow stuffed with palm fiber.

50
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:49,849
Some of his Companions entered upon him,

51
00:02:49,849 --> 00:02:51,449
among them 'Umar.

52
00:02:51,449 --> 00:02:54,250
The Prophet, peace be upon him, shifted

53
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:55,849
his position,

54
00:02:55,849 --> 00:02:57,650
and 'Umar saw the marks of the strips

55
00:02:57,650 --> 00:03:00,650
on the Prophet, peace be upon him,

56
00:03:00,650 --> 00:03:02,050
and he wept.

57
00:03:02,050 --> 00:03:05,250
The Prophet, peace be upon him, asked,

58
00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:06,849
"What makes you weep?"

59
00:03:06,849 --> 00:03:08,050
He replied,

60
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:09,849
"Chosroes and Caesar

61
00:03:09,849 --> 00:03:12,650
are indulging in what they indulge in,

62
00:03:12,650 --> 00:03:15,050
while you are on this bed."

63
00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:16,449
He said,

64
00:03:16,449 --> 00:03:19,050
"Are you not pleased that the worldly life is for them,

65
00:03:19,050 --> 00:03:20,849
and the Hereafter is for us?"

66
00:03:20,849 --> 00:03:22,449
He said, "Yes."

67
00:03:22,449 --> 00:03:23,449
He said,

68
00:03:23,449 --> 00:03:25,710
"It is indeed so."

69
00:03:25,710 --> 00:03:29,710
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

70
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,710
The Prophet, peace be upon him, lay down

71
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:34,110
on a reed mat,

72
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:35,909
and it left marks on his skin.

73
00:03:35,909 --> 00:03:39,110
I began to wipe them away, saying,

74
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:40,909
"May my father and mother be sacrificed for you,

75
00:03:40,909 --> 00:03:43,939
why did you not inform us so we could spread something for you?"

76
00:03:43,939 --> 00:03:45,139
He said,

77
00:03:45,139 --> 00:03:47,340
"What have I to do with the world?

78
00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:49,939
My state in this world is only that of a traveler

79
00:03:49,939 --> 00:03:52,139
who seeks shade under a tree,

80
00:03:52,139 --> 00:03:54,900
then moves on and leaves it."

81
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:57,900
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him:

82
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:02,099
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

83
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:05,099
"If I had gold equal to Mount Uhud,

84
00:04:05,099 --> 00:04:08,699
it would not please me that three nights should pass

85
00:04:08,699 --> 00:04:10,699
while I still had any of it,

86
00:04:10,699 --> 00:04:14,000
except for what I set aside for a debt."

87
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,600
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

88
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,399
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

89
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:25,800
"O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad only enough to sustain them."

90
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,199
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

91
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:32,600
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never ate his fill

92
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,399
of wheat bread for three consecutive days

93
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:39,100
until he passed away.

94
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:41,100
On the authority of 'Urwah Ibn al-Zubayr,

95
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:44,500
from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

96
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:46,899
We would look at the new moon,

97
00:04:46,899 --> 00:04:48,300
then the next,

98
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:49,699
then the next,

99
00:04:49,699 --> 00:04:52,699
three new moons in two months,

100
00:04:52,699 --> 00:04:58,360
and no fire was lit in the houses of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

101
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,959
'Urwah asked,

102
00:04:59,959 --> 00:05:01,959
"Then what was your food?"

103
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:03,160
She replied,

104
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,560
"The two black things:

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,560
dates and water.

106
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,560
Except that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had

107
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,759
neighbors from the Ansar,

108
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:14,959
who had milch camels,

109
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:19,360
and they would send to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

110
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,959
some of their milk,

111
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:22,720
and we would drink it."

112
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,120
She also said,

113
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,519
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never ate his fill

114
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,920
of barley bread for two consecutive days

115
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,779
until he was taken by Allah."

116
00:05:32,779 --> 00:05:34,180
And she said,

117
00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:37,779
"The mattress of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

118
00:05:37,779 --> 00:05:40,839
was made of leather stuffed with palm fiber."

119
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,639
This was the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in his asceticism.

120
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:48,639
And what can we say about our own lives?

121
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,040
What we eat,

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,439
what we drink,

123
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:52,839
what we wear,

124
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,839
and what we sleep upon.

125
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,639
We can only say:

126
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:58,639
Allah is the One whose help is sought.

127
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:05,269
Treasures of the Seerah.

128
00:06:05,269 --> 00:06:12,019
His humor, peace be upon him.

129
00:06:12,019 --> 00:06:15,019
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

130
00:06:15,019 --> 00:06:17,620
that it was said, "O Messenger of Allah,

131
00:06:17,620 --> 00:06:19,860
you joke with us."

132
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:21,060
He said,

133
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:24,259
"I say nothing but the truth."

134
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:27,259
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

135
00:06:27,259 --> 00:06:32,459
A Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, for a mount.

136
00:06:32,459 --> 00:06:35,860
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

137
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:39,060
"I will give you the offspring of a she-camel to ride."

138
00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:41,060
The Bedouin said,

139
00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:44,660
"What would I do with the offspring of a she-camel, O Messenger of Allah?"

140
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:46,060
He replied,

141
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:49,149
"Do camels give birth to anything other than she-camels?"

142
00:06:49,149 --> 00:06:53,149
The Bedouin had thought he would give him a young camel,

143
00:06:53,149 --> 00:06:55,439
a small calf.

144
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:58,740
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

145
00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:01,740
The Prophet, peace be upon him, raced with me,

146
00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:04,339
and I beat him, by the will of Allah.

147
00:07:04,339 --> 00:07:06,740
But later, when I had gained weight,

148
00:07:06,740 --> 00:07:09,139
he raced me and beat me.

149
00:07:09,139 --> 00:07:10,339
He then said,

150
00:07:10,339 --> 00:07:12,360
"This is for that."

151
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,959
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

152
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:18,959
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

153
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,759
would stick out his tongue for al-Husayn,

154
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:26,060
and when the child saw the redness of his tongue, he would become delighted.

155
00:07:26,060 --> 00:07:29,060
'Uyaynah Ibn Badr said to him,

156
00:07:29,060 --> 00:07:31,660
"I see you doing this!

157
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:34,259
By Allah, I have children,

158
00:07:34,259 --> 00:07:35,860
and they have reached adulthood,

159
00:07:35,860 --> 00:07:38,250
yet I have never kissed one of them."

160
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:41,649
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

161
00:07:41,649 --> 00:07:44,610
"He who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy."

162
00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:47,810
On the authority of Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her,

163
00:07:47,810 --> 00:07:50,410
that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,

164
00:07:50,410 --> 00:07:52,410
went out as a merchant to Busra

165
00:07:52,410 --> 00:07:55,410
a year or two

166
00:07:55,410 --> 00:07:57,610
before the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

167
00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,610
With him were Nu'ayman

168
00:07:59,610 --> 00:08:01,610
and Suwaybit ibn Harmalah,

169
00:08:01,610 --> 00:08:03,810
both of whom were veterans of Badr.

170
00:08:03,810 --> 00:08:06,810
Suwaybit was in charge of their provisions.

171
00:08:06,810 --> 00:08:09,209
Nu'ayman came and said,

172
00:08:09,209 --> 00:08:10,610
"Feed me."

173
00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:12,009
He replied, "No,

174
00:08:12,009 --> 00:08:14,410
not until Abu Bakr returns."

175
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:17,610
Nu'ayman, who was a joker, said,

176
00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:19,410
"I will play a trick on you."

177
00:08:19,410 --> 00:08:22,209
He went to some people and said to them,

178
00:08:22,209 --> 00:08:24,610
"Will you buy a slave from me?

179
00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:27,209
He is a man with a sharp tongue,

180
00:08:27,209 --> 00:08:28,810
and he might say,

181
00:08:28,810 --> 00:08:30,209
'I am free.'

182
00:08:30,209 --> 00:08:33,610
If you are going to let him go when he says that,

183
00:08:33,610 --> 00:08:37,210
then leave me alone and do not spoil my slave for me."

184
00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:38,409
They said, "No,

185
00:08:38,409 --> 00:08:40,210
we will buy him."

186
00:08:40,210 --> 00:08:43,009
So he sold him for ten young she-camels.

187
00:08:43,009 --> 00:08:45,009
Then he went to them and said,

188
00:08:45,009 --> 00:08:46,409
"There he is."

189
00:08:46,409 --> 00:08:48,009
Suwaybit said,

190
00:08:48,009 --> 00:08:49,409
"He is lying.

191
00:08:49,409 --> 00:08:51,409
I am a free man."

192
00:08:51,409 --> 00:08:52,409
They said,

193
00:08:52,409 --> 00:08:54,610
"We have already been told about you."

194
00:08:54,610 --> 00:08:58,409
They threw a rope around him, tied him up, and took him away.

195
00:08:58,409 --> 00:09:01,009
Abu Bakr came, and they informed him.

196
00:09:01,009 --> 00:09:03,210
He went with some of his companions,

197
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:06,809
returned the she-camels, and took Suwaybit back.

198
00:09:06,809 --> 00:09:10,700
The Prophet, peace be upon him, laughed at this.

199
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:13,700
Narrated Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

200
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:15,899
A man from the desert,

201
00:09:15,899 --> 00:09:17,899
whose name was Zahir,

202
00:09:17,899 --> 00:09:21,100
used to bring the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

203
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:23,500
gifts from the desert.

204
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:27,100
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would provide him with supplies in return,

205
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,500
and he would say:

206
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:31,100
"Zahir is our desert dweller,

207
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:33,100
and we are his city dwellers."

208
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:35,700
This man was not physically handsome.

209
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:39,100
One day, the Prophet, peace be upon him, came upon him

210
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:41,299
while he was selling his goods,

211
00:09:41,299 --> 00:09:43,100
and he embraced him from behind

212
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:44,700
while he could not see him.

213
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:45,899
He said:

214
00:09:45,899 --> 00:09:46,899
"Let me go!

215
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:48,500
Who is this?"

216
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:52,500
He turned around and recognized the Prophet, peace be upon him.

217
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:56,299
The Prophet, peace be upon him, began to say:

218
00:09:56,299 --> 00:09:58,299
"Who will buy this slave?"

219
00:09:58,299 --> 00:10:00,299
He replied, "O Messenger of Allah,

220
00:10:00,299 --> 00:10:03,500
by Allah, you will find me unsellable [of little value]."

221
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:04,500
He said:

222
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:08,100
"But in the sight of Allah, you are not unsellable."

223
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:09,500
Or he said:

224
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,740
"Rather, in the sight of Allah, you are precious."

225
00:10:12,740 --> 00:10:15,940
Narrated Jarir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

226
00:10:15,940 --> 00:10:19,139
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never denied me entry

227
00:10:19,139 --> 00:10:20,539
since I embraced Islam,

228
00:10:20,539 --> 00:10:23,769
and he never saw me without smiling."

229
00:10:23,769 --> 00:10:27,169
This was the humor of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

230
00:10:27,169 --> 00:10:29,769
and it does not contradict the prophethood and the majesty

231
00:10:29,769 --> 00:10:33,860
that he, peace be upon him, possessed.

00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:39,669
Treasures of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

233
00:10:39,669 --> 00:10:46,750
The speech of the Prophet, peace be upon him:

234
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:48,950
He was the most eloquent of all Allah’s creation,

235
00:10:48,950 --> 00:10:50,950
the most pleasant in speech,

236
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:52,950
the quickest in delivery,

237
00:10:52,950 --> 00:10:54,950
and the sweetest in expression.

238
00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:58,950
Indeed, his words would capture the hearts completely

239
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:01,049
and captivate the souls.

240
00:11:01,049 --> 00:11:04,049
‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:

241
00:11:04,049 --> 00:11:07,049
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

242
00:11:07,049 --> 00:11:10,049
did not speak rapidly as you do.

243
00:11:10,049 --> 00:11:14,049
Rather, he spoke with clear, distinct words,

244
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:17,049
which anyone sitting with him could memorize."

245
00:11:17,049 --> 00:11:20,049
He would often repeat his words three times

246
00:11:20,049 --> 00:11:22,049
so that they would be understood from him.

247
00:11:22,049 --> 00:11:25,049
When he greeted, he would greet three times.

248
00:11:25,049 --> 00:11:27,049
He was long in his silence;

249
00:11:27,049 --> 00:11:30,049
he would not speak unless there was a need.

250
00:11:30,049 --> 00:11:33,049
He spoke with concise, comprehensive speech.

251
00:11:33,049 --> 00:11:36,049
He would not speak about what did not concern him,

252
00:11:36,049 --> 00:11:40,110
and he would not speak except when he hoped for its reward.

253
00:11:40,110 --> 00:11:44,110
If he disliked something, it would be known on his face.

254
00:11:44,110 --> 00:11:47,110
He was neither foul-mouthed nor prone to obscenity,

255
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:50,139
nor was he loud in the marketplaces.

256
00:11:50,139 --> 00:11:53,139
Most of his laughter was smiling,

257
00:11:53,139 --> 00:11:55,139
or rather, it was all smiling.

258
00:11:55,139 --> 00:11:59,139
The extent of his laughter was that his molars would appear.

259
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,519
His weeping was of the same nature as his laughter;

260
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,519
it was not with sobbing or raising his voice.

261
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,519
Rather, his eyes would shed tears until they flowed,

262
00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:25,519
and a sound like a boiling pot would be heard from his chest.

263
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:29,580
His weeping was sometimes out of mercy for the deceased,

264
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:34,580
sometimes out of fear for his Ummah and compassion for them,

265
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:37,580
sometimes out of the fear of Allah,

266
00:12:37,580 --> 00:12:40,649
and sometimes upon hearing the Qur’an.

267
00:12:40,649 --> 00:12:43,649
When his son Ibrahim died,

268
00:12:43,649 --> 00:12:47,649
his eyes shed tears and he wept, peace be upon him.

269
00:12:47,649 --> 00:12:52,710
He wept when he saw one of his daughters as her soul was departing.

270
00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:56,710
He wept when ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas‘ud recited to him

271
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:58,710
Surah al-Nisa’.

272
00:12:58,710 --> 00:13:01,710
He performed the prayer of fear and wept.

00:13:01,710 --> 00:13:07,429
Treasures of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

274
00:13:07,429 --> 00:13:11,429
His description, peace be upon him,

275
00:13:11,429 --> 00:13:16,700
in the Torah and the Gospel.

276
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:18,700
Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, said:

277
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:21,700
﴾And when ‘Isa Ibn Maryam said,

278
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,700
"O Children of Israel,

279
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:29,700
“And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic.” (61:6)

280
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:33,700
confirming what came before me of the Torah

281
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:40,700
and bringing good tidings of a messenger

282
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:44,700
who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad."﴿

283
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:48,700
But when he came to them with clear proofs,

284
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,700
they said, "This is obvious magic."

285
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,830
And He, the Exalted in His mention, said:

286
00:13:54,830 --> 00:13:59,830
“Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful.” (7:157)

287
00:13:59,830 --> 00:14:08,830
“Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful.” (7:157)

288
00:14:08,830 --> 00:14:11,830
in the Torah and the Gospel,

289
00:14:11,830 --> 00:14:16,830
he enjoins upon them what is right

290
00:14:16,830 --> 00:14:19,830
and forbids them what is wrong.

291
00:14:19,830 --> 00:14:22,960
Despite the distortion, alteration, and change,

292
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,960
we still find the description and name of our Messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him,

293
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960
in the Torah and the Gospel.

294
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,570
His descriptions in the Gospel:

295
00:14:34,570 --> 00:14:36,570
The Gospel of Matthew.

296
00:14:36,570 --> 00:14:38,570
In the Gospel of Matthew,

297
00:14:38,570 --> 00:14:41,570
in the fifteenth chapter,

298
00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:43,570
there is evidence that ‘Isa

299
00:14:43,570 --> 00:14:46,570
was sent specifically to the Children of Israel.

300
00:14:46,570 --> 00:14:52,629
He said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

301
00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:54,700
And in the eleventh chapter,

302
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,700
‘Isa, peace be upon him, said:

303
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:00,700
"For all the prophets and the law

304
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:03,700
prophesied until John.

305
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:05,700
And if you are willing to accept it,

306
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,700
this is Elijah who is to come.

307
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:12,700
He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

308
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:16,759
And Elijah is Ahmad, peace be upon him.

309
00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:19,759
We knew this through the letters of

310
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:21,759
Abjad Hawwaz.

311
00:15:21,759 --> 00:15:23,759
Because Abjad Hawwaz

312
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:26,759
are letters that indicate numbers.

313
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,759
Abjad Hawwaz,

the Qaf is 100,

the Ghayn is 1000.

345
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:34,759
So Elijah, according to the calculation of Abjad Hawwaz:

346
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:36,759
Alif is 1,

347
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:38,759

Ya’ is 10,

350
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:44,759
Alif is 1,

351
00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:46,759
equals 53.

352
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:48,759
And Ahmad:

353
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:50,759
Alif is 1,

354
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,759
Ha’ is 8,

355
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:54,759
Mim is 40,

356
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:56,759
Dal is 4,

357
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:58,889
equals 53.

358
00:16:58,889 --> 00:17:00,889
The Gospel of John,

359
00:17:00,889 --> 00:17:02,950
in the fourteenth chapter,

360
00:17:02,950 --> 00:17:04,950
‘Isa said:

361
00:17:04,950 --> 00:17:06,950
"If you love me,

362
00:17:06,950 --> 00:17:08,950
keep my commandments.

363
00:17:08,950 --> 00:17:10,950
And I will ask the Father,

364
00:17:10,950 --> 00:17:12,950
and He will give you

365
00:17:12,950 --> 00:17:14,950
another Comforter,

366
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:16,950
to remain with you forever."

367
00:17:16,950 --> 00:17:19,240
He is the Spirit of Truth.

368
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,240
The word "Comforter" is a definition,

369
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,240
and if you wish, you may say

370
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,240
it is a distortion of the word

371
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,240
"Paracletos,"

372
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,240
which is a Greek word

373
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,240
meaning "the much-praised,"

374
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,240
that is, Muhammad.

375
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,240
We had mentioned this

376
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,240
previously

377
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,240
in the story of

378
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,240
‘Abdullah the Majorcan,

379
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,240
in the story of the delegation of Najran,

380
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,240
in the Year of Delegations,

381
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,240
the ninth year of the Hijrah.

382
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,339
His descriptions

383
00:17:49,339 --> 00:17:51,529
in the Torah:

384
00:17:51,529 --> 00:17:53,529
It came in the Torah,

385
00:17:53,529 --> 00:17:55,529
in the Book of Isaiah,

386
00:17:55,529 --> 00:17:57,529
the forty-second chapter:

387
00:17:57,529 --> 00:17:59,529
"Behold, My servant

388
00:17:59,529 --> 00:18:01,529
whom I uphold,

389
00:18:01,529 --> 00:18:03,529
in whom My soul delights.

390
00:18:03,529 --> 00:18:05,529
I have put My spirit upon him;

391
00:18:05,529 --> 00:18:07,529
he will bring forth justice to the nations.

392
00:18:07,529 --> 00:18:09,529
He will not cry out, nor raise [his voice],

393
00:18:09,529 --> 00:18:11,529
nor will he be heard in the street,

394
00:18:11,529 --> 00:18:13,529
his voice.

395
00:18:13,529 --> 00:18:15,529
He will not fail nor be discouraged

396
00:18:15,529 --> 00:18:17,529
until he establishes justice in the earth,

397
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:19,529
and the islands shall wait for

398
00:18:19,529 --> 00:18:21,529
his law."

399
00:18:21,529 --> 00:18:23,529
Naturally, this is not ‘Isa,

400
00:18:23,529 --> 00:18:25,529
For he did not have

401
00:18:25,529 --> 00:18:27,529
a distinct law,

402
00:18:27,529 --> 00:18:29,529
but rather he was a completer

403
00:18:29,529 --> 00:18:31,529
of the mission of Musa, peace be upon him.

404
00:18:31,529 --> 00:18:33,529
As for the statement,

405
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:35,529
"He does not shout, nor does he make himself heard in the street,"

406
00:18:35,529 --> 00:18:37,529
regarding his voice,

407
00:18:37,529 --> 00:18:39,529
this confirms the statement of 'A'ishah,

408
00:18:39,529 --> 00:18:41,529
may Allah be pleased with her,

409
00:18:41,529 --> 00:18:43,529
"The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was not indecent,

410
00:18:43,529 --> 00:18:45,529
nor did he act indecently,

411
00:18:45,529 --> 00:18:47,529
nor was he a loud shouter in the marketplaces,

412
00:18:47,529 --> 00:18:49,529
nor did he repay evil with evil."

413
00:18:49,529 --> 00:18:51,660
The Book of Deuteronomy,

414
00:18:51,660 --> 00:18:53,690
in chapter

415
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:55,690
thirty-three,

416
00:18:55,690 --> 00:18:57,690
says of Musa:

417
00:18:57,690 --> 00:18:59,690
"The Lord came from Sinai,"

418
00:18:59,690 --> 00:19:01,690
the land of Musa,

419
00:19:01,690 --> 00:19:03,690
"and dawned from Seir,"

420
00:19:03,690 --> 00:19:05,690
the homeland of 'Isa,

421
00:19:05,690 --> 00:19:07,690
"and shone forth from Mount Paran,"

422
00:19:07,690 --> 00:19:09,690
which is Makkah.

423
00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:11,690
This is similar to the statement of Allah the Exalted:

424
00:19:11,690 --> 00:19:13,690
﴾By the fig and the olive,

425
00:19:13,690 --> 00:19:15,690
and Mount Sinai,

426
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:19,690
and this secure city [Makkah]﴿.

427
00:19:19,690 --> 00:19:21,720
The fig and the olive

428
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,720
are the land of 'Isa,

429
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Palestine;

430
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,720
and Mount Sinai

431
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,720
is the land of Musa, Egypt;

432
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,720
and the secure city

433
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,720
is the city of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

434
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Makkah.

435
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Indeed, Paran

436
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,720
is the place where Isma'il dwelt,

437
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720
peace be upon him.

438
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,720
This is in chapter twenty-one,

439
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,720
and Isma'il

440
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,720
indeed dwelt in Makkah.

441
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,720
It says,

442
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,720
"Let the wilderness and its cities lift up

443
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,720
their voice,"

444
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,720
"like Kedar,"

445
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,720
who is the son of Isma'il, peace be upon him.

446
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720
This is in chapter

447
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,720
twenty-five.

448
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,720
It says,

449
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,720
"Let the inhabitants of Sela' sing,"

450
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,720
which is a mountain in Madinah,

451
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,720
the mountains of Sal'.

452
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,720
From the mountain peaks.

453
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,720
In the story of the conversion of

454
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,720
Salman al-Farisi,

455
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,720
he said of himself

456
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,720
that he had traveled in search of the truth

457
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,720
to Syria, then to Mosul,

458
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,720
then to Nasibin,

459
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,720
then to 'Ammuriyah.

460
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,779
When the bishop there

461
00:20:27,779 --> 00:20:29,779
was dying,

462
00:20:29,779 --> 00:20:31,779
Salman asked him,

463
00:20:31,779 --> 00:20:33,779
"To where?"

464
00:20:33,779 --> 00:20:35,779
Meaning, "To whom should I go?"

465
00:20:35,779 --> 00:20:37,779
He said, "O my son,

466
00:20:37,779 --> 00:20:39,779
by Allah, I do not know of anyone left

467
00:20:39,779 --> 00:20:41,779
who is upon what we were

468
00:20:41,779 --> 00:20:43,779
upon, whom I could command you to go to.

469
00:20:43,779 --> 00:20:45,779
However, the time has drawn near

470
00:20:45,779 --> 00:20:47,779
for a Prophet to be sent in the Sacred Land,

471
00:20:47,779 --> 00:20:49,779
who will migrate between

472
00:20:49,779 --> 00:20:51,779
two lava fields to a land

473
00:20:51,779 --> 00:20:53,779
of salt flats and palm trees.

474
00:20:53,779 --> 00:20:55,779
He has signs

475
00:20:55,779 --> 00:20:57,779
that are not hidden: between

476
00:20:57,779 --> 00:20:59,779
his shoulders is the seal of prophethood.

477
00:20:59,779 --> 00:21:01,779
He eats of the gift, but

478
00:21:01,779 --> 00:21:03,779
he does not eat of the charity.

479
00:21:03,779 --> 00:21:05,779
So if you are able to reach

480
00:21:05,779 --> 00:21:07,779
that land, then do so."

481
00:21:07,779 --> 00:21:09,779
Indeed, the time for him

482
00:21:09,779 --> 00:21:11,779
has drawn near. And that was

483
00:21:11,779 --> 00:21:13,779
the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

484
00:21:13,779 --> 00:21:15,910
This

485
00:21:15,910 --> 00:21:17,910
is the master of humanity,

486
00:21:17,910 --> 00:21:19,910
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

487
00:21:19,910 --> 00:21:21,910
and the intimate friend of the Most Merciful,

488
00:21:21,910 --> 00:21:23,910
the Glorious and Exalted.

489
00:21:23,910 --> 00:21:25,910
We ask Allah, the Blessed and Exalted,

490
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:27,910
to gather us under his banner

491
00:21:27,910 --> 00:21:29,910
and in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

492
00:21:29,910 --> 00:21:31,910
Amin.

493
00:21:31,910 --> 00:21:33,910
Amin.

494
00:21:33,910 --> 00:21:35,910
Amin.

495
00:21:35,910 --> 00:21:37,910
And Allah is Most High and All-Knowing.

496
00:21:37,910 --> 00:21:39,910
May the peace and blessings of Allah

497
00:21:39,910 --> 00:21:41,910
be upon our Prophet

498
00:21:41,910 --> 00:21:43,910
Muhammad.

499
00:21:43,910 --> 00:21:45,910
Treasures of the Prophetic biography.
