1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,399 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:10,099 Treasures of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah). 3 00:00:10,099 --> 00:00:15,730 Allah is the Third of the Two. 4 00:00:15,730 --> 00:00:17,530 Al-Bukhari recorded 5 00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:19,730 on the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), 6 00:00:19,730 --> 00:00:22,929 from Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 7 00:00:22,929 --> 00:00:27,329 "I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the cave, 8 00:00:27,329 --> 00:00:29,129 and when I raised my head, 9 00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:31,730 I suddenly saw the feet of the pursuers. 10 00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:34,130 I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, 11 00:00:34,329 --> 00:00:38,329 if one of them were only to cast his eyes down, he would see us.' 12 00:00:38,329 --> 00:00:41,530 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 13 00:00:41,530 --> 00:00:43,729 'Be quiet, O Abu Bakr! 14 00:00:43,729 --> 00:00:44,929 What of two, 15 00:00:44,929 --> 00:00:47,329 when Allah is their third?'" 16 00:00:47,329 --> 00:00:48,729 And in another narration: 17 00:00:48,729 --> 00:00:51,729 "'What do you think, O Abu Bakr, of two 18 00:00:51,729 --> 00:00:54,520 when Allah is their third?'" 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,320 When Quraysh relented in their active pursuit, 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,119 the Prophet (peace be upon him) prepared 21 00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:01,920 to depart from the cave 22 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,319 and head toward Medina. 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,120 That was because 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,719 used to bring them news, 25 00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:12,719 and the Prophet (peace be upon him) had hired 26 00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:14,319 a paid guide, 27 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,920 namely 'Abdullah ibn Urayqit. 28 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,319 He served as a guide for the Prophet (peace be upon him) 29 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,719 and Abu Bakr. 30 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:23,519 He was a disbeliever, 31 00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:28,120 yet despite this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) enlisted his help. 32 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,319 From this, the scholars derived the ruling 33 00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:32,719 that it is permissible to seek the assistance of a non-Muslim 34 00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:35,109 when there is a need for it. 35 00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:37,909 The Prophet (peace be upon him) 36 00:01:37,909 --> 00:01:40,310 had entrusted 'Abdullah ibn Urayqit 37 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:41,909 with the two riding camels 38 00:01:41,909 --> 00:01:43,909 and arranged to meet him at the Cave of Thawr 39 00:01:43,909 --> 00:01:46,109 after three nights. 40 00:01:46,109 --> 00:01:48,510 The Prophet (peace be upon him) 41 00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:50,909 placed his trust in him despite his disbelief, 42 00:01:50,909 --> 00:01:53,510 though he could easily have informed Quraysh 43 00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:56,510 of the whereabouts of the Prophet (peace be upon him) 44 00:01:56,510 --> 00:01:57,909 and Abu Bakr 45 00:01:57,909 --> 00:02:00,340 and collected the bounty of a hundred camels. 46 00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:02,340 Yet he only entrusted him with the task 47 00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:05,439 because he was a man of integrity. 48 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,240 When the eve of Monday arrived, 49 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,240 'Abdullah ibn Urayqit brought them the two mounts. 50 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,639 They belonged to Abu Bakr, 51 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,039 so Abu Bakr said to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): 52 00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:22,240 "May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah! 53 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,039 Take one of these two riding camels"— 54 00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:26,439 meaning as a gift for him— 55 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,240 and he presented the better of the two to him. 56 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,840 But the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 57 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,500 "[Only] for its price." 58 00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,300 Asma' bint Abi Bakr brought them 59 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:38,900 their travel provisions, 60 00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:41,900 but she had forgotten to make a strap for the leather bag— 61 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,300 that is, something with which to tie it. 62 00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:45,900 When they were about to set out, 63 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,099 she went to hang the provisions bag, 64 00:02:48,099 --> 00:02:50,500 only to find it had no strap. 65 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,300 So she split her waist-belt into two pieces; 66 00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:56,900 with one of them she tied the provisions bag, 67 00:02:57,099 --> 00:02:59,500 and with the other she fastened her waist. 68 00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:03,099 Because of this, she was given the title Dhat an-Nitaqayn ("She of the Two Waist-belts"). 69 00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:06,629 The nitaq is a girdle tied around the waist. 70 00:03:06,629 --> 00:03:08,229 Al-Bukhari recorded 71 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:12,229 on the authority of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 72 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:15,229 "We traveled through the night and into the next day, 73 00:03:15,229 --> 00:03:18,030 until the sun reached its zenith at noon 74 00:03:18,030 --> 00:03:19,430 and the road became completely deserted, 75 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:21,830 with no one passing by. 76 00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:25,430 Then a high rock appeared before us that cast a shade 77 00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:27,629 upon which the sun had not yet fallen. 78 00:03:27,629 --> 00:03:29,830 So we halted beside it, 79 00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:33,030 and I leveled a spot with my own hands for the Prophet (peace be upon him) 80 00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:35,830 to sleep upon, 81 00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:38,030 spread a fur rug over it, 82 00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:39,229 and said: 83 00:03:39,229 --> 00:03:41,229 'Sleep, O Messenger of Allah, 84 00:03:41,229 --> 00:03:44,030 while I sweep and guard the area around you.' 85 00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:45,229 So he went to sleep, 86 00:03:45,229 --> 00:03:48,030 and I went out to watch over the surroundings. 87 00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:51,430 Suddenly, I saw a shepherd approaching the rock, 88 00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:54,629 seeking from it the very shade we sought. 89 00:03:54,629 --> 00:03:56,030 I asked him, 90 00:03:56,030 --> 00:03:58,229 'To whom do you belong, young man?' 91 00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:59,430 He replied, 92 00:03:59,430 --> 00:04:03,099 'To a man from the people of Medina'—or 'Mecca.' 93 00:04:03,099 --> 00:04:04,099 I asked, 94 00:04:04,099 --> 00:04:06,099 'Is there any milk in your sheep?' 95 00:04:06,099 --> 00:04:07,699 He said, 'Yes.' 96 00:04:07,699 --> 00:04:08,500 I asked, 97 00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:09,900 'Will you milk some for us?' 98 00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:11,500 He said, 'Yes.' 99 00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,099 He took hold of a sheep, 100 00:04:13,099 --> 00:04:14,300 and I said, 101 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,300 'Dust the udder clean of dirt, hair, and debris.' 102 00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:21,699 He milked a small quantity of fresh milk into a wooden cup. 103 00:04:21,699 --> 00:04:26,300 I had a leather water-skin that I carried for the Prophet (peace be upon him) 104 00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,100 for his refreshment, 105 00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:30,300 from which he could drink and perform ablution. 106 00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:33,699 I returned to the Prophet (peace be upon him), 107 00:04:33,699 --> 00:04:35,899 but I disliked waking him, 108 00:04:35,899 --> 00:04:38,300 and arrived just as he woke up. 109 00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,699 I poured water over the vessel of milk 110 00:04:40,699 --> 00:04:42,899 until its bottom cooled down, 111 00:04:42,899 --> 00:04:43,899 and I said, 112 00:04:43,899 --> 00:04:46,300 'Drink, O Messenger of Allah.' 113 00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:48,699 He drank until I was completely satisfied. 114 00:04:48,699 --> 00:04:50,100 Then he said, 115 00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:52,100 'Is it not time to depart?' 116 00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:53,500 I said, 'Yes indeed.' 117 00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:54,500 He said: 118 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:56,100 And so we set out." 119 00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:03,019 Treasures of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah). 120 00:05:03,019 --> 00:05:05,660 Suraqah ibn Malik 121 00:05:05,660 --> 00:05:10,290 in pursuit of the reward. 122 00:05:10,290 --> 00:05:14,889 A man named Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Ju'shum 123 00:05:14,889 --> 00:05:19,550 pursued the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr, 124 00:05:19,550 --> 00:05:22,750 and Suraqah himself recounts his story. 125 00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:23,949 He said: 126 00:05:23,949 --> 00:05:29,550 "While I was sitting in one of the gatherings of my people, the Banu Mudlij, 127 00:05:29,550 --> 00:05:31,550 a man from among them came along, 128 00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:34,949 stood before us as we sat, 129 00:05:34,949 --> 00:05:36,149 and said: 130 00:05:36,149 --> 00:05:37,550 'O Suraqah! 131 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:41,550 I have just spotted silhouettes along the coastal road; 132 00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:44,379 I believe they are Muhammad and his companions.' 133 00:05:44,379 --> 00:05:45,980 Suraqah said: 134 00:05:45,980 --> 00:05:48,180 I realized that it was indeed them, 135 00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:49,579 but I said to him: 136 00:05:49,579 --> 00:05:51,779 'They are not them; 137 00:05:51,779 --> 00:05:54,779 rather, you only saw so-and-so and so-and-so, 138 00:05:54,779 --> 00:05:57,220 who set out before our very eyes.' 139 00:05:57,220 --> 00:06:01,220 I then lingered in the gathering for a while before getting up. 140 00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:06,220 I went home and ordered my slave-girl to lead my horse behind a hill 141 00:06:06,220 --> 00:06:08,220 and hold it ready for me. 142 00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:09,819 I took my spear, 143 00:06:09,819 --> 00:06:12,420 slipped out from the back of the house, 144 00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:14,819 trailing the lower iron tip along the ground 145 00:06:14,819 --> 00:06:16,620 and keeping its upper blade lowered, 146 00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:20,220 until I reached my horse and mounted it. 147 00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:23,819 Then I paused, reached my hand into my quiver, 148 00:06:23,819 --> 00:06:26,220 drew out the divining arrows, 149 00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:28,019 and consulted them: 150 00:06:28,019 --> 00:06:29,819 whether I should harm them or not. 151 00:06:29,819 --> 00:06:32,220 The arrow came out with the result I disliked. 152 00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:33,220 He said: 153 00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:36,420 Yet I mounted my horse and defied the divining arrows. 154 00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:41,620 When I drew close to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr, 155 00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:45,620 I could hear the recitation of the Prophet (peace be upon him), 156 00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:47,420 who was not looking back at all, 157 00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:50,620 whereas Abu Bakr was looking back repeatedly. 158 00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:51,620 He said: 159 00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:54,420 Suddenly, the forelegs of my horse sank into the ground 160 00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:56,819 up to its knees, 161 00:06:56,819 --> 00:06:58,620 and I fell off it. 162 00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:01,019 I then rebuked it, and it struggled to stand, 163 00:07:01,019 --> 00:07:03,850 but could hardly pull its forelegs out. 164 00:07:03,850 --> 00:07:06,050 When it finally stood upright, 165 00:07:06,050 --> 00:07:11,649 a cloud of dust rose into the sky from the tracks of its forelegs like thick smoke. 166 00:07:11,649 --> 00:07:15,250 I consulted the divining arrows a second time, 167 00:07:15,250 --> 00:07:17,250 and again the result came out with what I disliked. 168 00:07:17,449 --> 00:07:19,649 So I called out to them offering a pledge of safety, 169 00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:20,850 and they halted. 170 00:07:20,850 --> 00:07:23,850 I rode my horse until I reached them, 171 00:07:23,850 --> 00:07:28,649 and it was firmly impressed upon my heart—when I suffered what I did of being barred from reaching them 172 00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:30,850 and seeing how my horse had been restrained— 173 00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:35,050 that the cause of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would inevitably prevail. 174 00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:36,649 I said to him, 175 00:07:36,649 --> 00:07:40,050 'Your people have placed a bounty upon your head,' 176 00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:42,850 and I offered him provisions and gear, 177 00:07:42,850 --> 00:07:44,649 but they took nothing from me, 178 00:07:44,649 --> 00:07:46,250 nor did they ask me for anything, 179 00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:47,850 except that he said: 180 00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:49,649 'Keep our whereabouts secret.' 181 00:07:49,649 --> 00:07:53,050 I then asked him to write a document granting me security, 182 00:07:53,050 --> 00:07:55,449 so he instructed 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah, 183 00:07:55,449 --> 00:07:58,649 who wrote it for me on a piece of leather. 184 00:07:58,649 --> 00:08:02,850 Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went on his way." 185 00:08:02,850 --> 00:08:05,250 Suraqah ibn Malik turned back, 186 00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:07,649 and finding people still actively searching, 187 00:08:07,649 --> 00:08:09,449 he began telling them: 188 00:08:09,449 --> 00:08:11,850 "I have already checked the news for you along this route; 189 00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:14,879 I have spared you the search here." 190 00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:16,480 Glory be to Allah! 191 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,680 At the beginning of the journey, 192 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,480 he was eager to kill them both 193 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,279 and claim the reward; 194 00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,279 yet by the end of the day, 195 00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:25,079 he was actively defending them 196 00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,079 and concealing their trail. 197 00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:30,279 This was entirely from Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, 198 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:34,879 showing how He protects His Prophet (peace be upon him). 199 00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:42,259 Treasures of the Prophetic biography (Seerah). 200 00:08:42,259 --> 00:08:47,179 The tent of Umm Ma'bad. 201 00:08:47,179 --> 00:08:49,980 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed by 202 00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:51,980 during that journey 203 00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:53,980 until he reached the tent of a woman 204 00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:56,840 known as Umm Ma'bad. 205 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,639 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, asked her, 206 00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:01,039 along with Abu Bakr, 207 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,039 "Do you have anything?" 208 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:04,039 She replied, 209 00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:07,840 "By Allah, we have nothing; the drought has exhausted what we had." 210 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,799 It was a year of severe famine. 211 00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,399 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, looked 212 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,399 at a sheep in the corner of the tent 213 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:17,600 and asked, 214 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,600 "What is this sheep, Umm Ma'bad?" 215 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,799 She said, 216 00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:25,000 "A sheep too weak and exhausted to follow the flock." 217 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,200 He asked, 218 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,200 "Does it have any milk?" 219 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,399 She replied, 220 00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:31,799 "It is far too exhausted for that." 221 00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:33,000 He said, 222 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,799 "Do you permit me to milk it?" 223 00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:36,799 She replied, 224 00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:39,000 "Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you; 225 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,559 if you see any milk in it, then milk it." 226 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,759 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, then wiped 227 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,360 its udder with his hand, 228 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,559 invoked the name of Allah, and prayed. 229 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,559 The sheep relaxed its legs and its milk flowed abundantly. 230 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,759 He called for a vessel of hers, 231 00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:59,360 and milked into it until it was covered in foam. 232 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,559 He gave her to drink, and she drank until she was satisfied. 233 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,159 He gave his companions, Abu Bakr and 'Amir, to drink, 234 00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:08,159 as well as 'Abdullah Ibn Urayqit, 235 00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:09,759 until they were all satisfied. 236 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:11,360 Then he drank. 237 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,960 He milked it a second time until he filled the vessel, 238 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:20,220 then left it with her and departed, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 239 00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:23,620 After that, the husband of Umm Ma'bad returned, 240 00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:27,419 driving lean goats that had no milk. 241 00:10:27,419 --> 00:10:29,820 When he saw the milk, he was astonished 242 00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:31,220 and asked, 243 00:10:31,220 --> 00:10:34,419 "Where did you get this from, when the sheep is barren 244 00:10:34,419 --> 00:10:36,820 and there is no milch animal in the house?" 245 00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:38,019 She replied, 246 00:10:38,019 --> 00:10:39,220 "No, by Allah, 247 00:10:39,220 --> 00:10:42,820 except that a blessed man passed by us." 248 00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:46,820 She told him what had happened. 249 00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:48,820 Her husband said, 250 00:10:48,820 --> 00:10:53,620 "By Allah, I believe this is the man of Quraysh whom they are seeking. 251 00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:56,419 Describe him to me, Umm Ma'bad." 252 00:10:56,419 --> 00:10:58,820 She described him with various attributes, 253 00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:00,620 and he said to her, 254 00:11:00,620 --> 00:11:04,820 "By Allah, this is the one the people of Makkah are searching for." 255 00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:08,860 I heard verses said to be from the Jinn: 256 00:11:08,860 --> 00:11:10,860 May Allah reward, 257 00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:15,909 May Allah, Lord of the Throne, reward with the best of rewards 258 00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:20,110 two companions who stayed in the tent of Umm Ma'bad. 259 00:11:20,110 --> 00:11:23,710 They brought blessings when they arrived and departed with them. 260 00:11:23,710 --> 00:11:27,580 Successful is he who becomes a companion of Muhammad. 261 00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:31,379 May the people of the tribe of Qays be rewarded for what Allah has bestowed upon you 262 00:11:31,379 --> 00:11:35,580 of deeds that cannot be repaid, and for your nobility. 263 00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:39,379 May the sons of Ka'b be congratulated for the place of their woman, 264 00:11:39,580 --> 00:11:43,379 and her seat which is a station for the believers. 265 00:11:43,379 --> 00:11:47,379 Ask your sister about her sheep and her vessel, 266 00:11:47,379 --> 00:11:51,379 for if you ask the sheep, it will bear witness. 267 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,200 On Monday, 268 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,200 the eighth of Rabi' al-Awwal, 269 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,200 in the fourteenth year 270 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,200 of the Prophet's mission, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 271 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,200 he arrived at Quba'. 272 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,230 'Urwah Ibn al-Zubayr said: 273 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:22,230 The Muslims in Madinah heard 274 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:26,230 of the departure of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 275 00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:27,230 from Makkah. 276 00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:30,230 They would go out every morning to the Harrah (lava fields), 277 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:34,230 waiting for him until the heat of midday drove them back. 278 00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:38,230 One day, after waiting for a long time, they turned back. 279 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:41,230 When they had retreated to their homes, 280 00:12:41,230 --> 00:12:45,230 a man from the Jews climbed one of their fortresses 281 00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:49,230 and caught sight of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 282 00:12:49,230 --> 00:12:51,230 and his companions, dressed in white, 283 00:12:51,230 --> 00:12:53,230 shimmering in the mirage. 284 00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,230 The Jew could not help 285 00:12:55,230 --> 00:12:57,230 but call out at the top of his voice, 286 00:12:57,230 --> 00:12:59,230 "O people of the Arabs! 287 00:12:59,230 --> 00:13:03,230 This is your leader whom you have been waiting for!" 288 00:13:03,230 --> 00:13:05,230 The Muslims rushed to take up their weapons 289 00:13:05,230 --> 00:13:09,230 and went out to meet the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 290 00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:12,230 He turned with them to the right 291 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:15,230 until he settled among the Banu 'Amr Ibn 'Awf. 292 00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:19,230 This was on a Monday in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal. 293 00:13:19,230 --> 00:13:22,230 Abu Bakr stood up for the people, 294 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:26,230 while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sat in silence. 295 00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:29,259 The Ansar who arrived, 296 00:13:29,259 --> 00:13:33,259 those who had not seen the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, before, 297 00:13:33,259 --> 00:13:35,259 began coming to Abu Bakr, 298 00:13:35,259 --> 00:13:38,259 thinking he was the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 299 00:13:39,259 --> 00:13:44,259 When the sun began to beat down on the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 300 00:13:44,259 --> 00:13:46,259 Abu Bakr came forward 301 00:13:46,259 --> 00:13:50,259 and shaded the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 302 00:13:50,259 --> 00:13:51,259 with his cloak. 303 00:13:51,259 --> 00:13:56,259 Then the people realized that this was the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 304 00:13:56,259 --> 00:13:59,259 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib remained behind 305 00:13:59,259 --> 00:14:01,259 for three days to return the trusts 306 00:14:01,259 --> 00:14:04,259 on behalf of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 307 00:14:04,259 --> 00:14:07,259 then he migrated on foot. 308 00:14:07,259 --> 00:14:11,389 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stayed in Quba' 309 00:14:11,389 --> 00:14:14,389 for four days, according to the most well-known account: 310 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:16,389 Monday, Tuesday, 311 00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:19,389 Wednesday, and Thursday. 312 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:36,179 He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, founded the Quba' Mosque 313 00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:38,179 and prayed in it; 314 00:14:38,179 --> 00:14:41,179 it is the first mosque founded upon piety. 315 00:14:41,179 --> 00:14:45,179 When the fifth day came, which was Friday, 316 00:14:45,179 --> 00:14:50,179 the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, rode out by the command of Allah, 317 00:14:50,179 --> 00:14:52,179 with Abu Bakr riding behind him. 318 00:14:52,179 --> 00:14:54,179 He sent for the Banu al-Najjar, 319 00:14:54,179 --> 00:14:57,179 who were the maternal uncles of his grandfather, 'Abd al-Muttalib. 320 00:14:57,179 --> 00:15:00,179 They came, girded with their swords. 321 00:15:00,179 --> 00:15:02,179 He traveled toward Madinah, 322 00:15:02,179 --> 00:15:07,179 and the time for Friday prayer overtook him in a village of the Banu Salim Ibn 'Awf. 323 00:15:07,179 --> 00:15:11,179 He performed the Friday prayer with them in the mosque located in the valley. 324 00:15:11,179 --> 00:15:17,179 This was the first Friday prayer the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, performed in Madinah. 325 00:15:17,179 --> 00:15:19,179 After he performed the Friday prayer, 326 00:15:19,179 --> 00:15:22,179 he set off into the heart of Madinah. 327 00:15:22,179 --> 00:15:26,179 He would not pass by any of the houses of the Ansar 328 00:15:26,179 --> 00:15:28,179 without them taking hold of his camel's halter, 329 00:15:28,179 --> 00:15:30,179 saying to him, 330 00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,179 "O Messenger of Allah, 331 00:15:32,179 --> 00:15:34,179 come to where there is number, equipment, 332 00:15:34,179 --> 00:15:36,179 weapons, and protection." 333 00:15:36,179 --> 00:15:38,179 He would say to them, 334 00:15:38,179 --> 00:15:40,179 "Leave her path, 335 00:15:40,179 --> 00:15:42,179 for she is commanded." 336 00:15:42,179 --> 00:15:44,179 She continued to walk with him 337 00:15:44,179 --> 00:15:48,179 until she reached the site of the Prophet's Mosque, 338 00:15:48,179 --> 00:15:50,179 where she knelt down. 339 00:15:50,179 --> 00:15:52,179 He did not dismount 340 00:15:52,179 --> 00:15:54,179 until she rose and walked a little further, 341 00:15:54,179 --> 00:15:56,179 then turned back and returned, 342 00:15:56,179 --> 00:15:58,179 kneeling in her original spot. 343 00:15:58,179 --> 00:16:02,179 Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, dismounted 344 00:16:02,179 --> 00:16:04,179 among the Banu al-Najjar. 345 00:16:04,179 --> 00:16:07,179 This was by the grace of Allah for him, 346 00:16:07,179 --> 00:16:10,179 for he loved to stay with his maternal uncles 347 00:16:10,179 --> 00:16:12,179 to honor them by doing so. 348 00:16:12,179 --> 00:16:14,179 This is part of maintaining family ties. 349 00:16:14,179 --> 00:16:16,179 People began speaking to 350 00:16:16,179 --> 00:16:19,179 the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 351 00:16:19,179 --> 00:16:21,179 about staying with them. 352 00:16:21,179 --> 00:16:23,179 Each one of them would come 353 00:16:23,179 --> 00:16:25,179 to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 354 00:16:25,179 --> 00:16:27,179 and say, 355 00:16:27,179 --> 00:16:29,179 "O Messenger of Allah, 356 00:16:29,179 --> 00:16:30,179 stay with me, 357 00:16:30,179 --> 00:16:32,179 dwell with me." 358 00:16:32,179 --> 00:16:34,179 Abu Ayyub al-Ansari stood up, 359 00:16:34,179 --> 00:16:37,179 took the Prophet's luggage, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 360 00:16:37,179 --> 00:16:40,179 and entered his house with it. 361 00:16:40,179 --> 00:16:43,220 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, turned to him 362 00:16:43,220 --> 00:16:45,220 and said, 363 00:16:45,220 --> 00:16:47,220 "A man is with his luggage." 364 00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:49,340 As'ad Ibn Zurarah came 365 00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:53,340 and took the reins of the Prophet's camel, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 366 00:16:53,340 --> 00:16:55,340 saying, 367 00:16:55,340 --> 00:16:57,409 "The camel is with me." 368 00:16:57,409 --> 00:16:59,409 After some days, 369 00:16:59,409 --> 00:17:02,409 the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 370

were also the children of Abu Bakr 377 00:17:17,410 --> 00:17:19,410 al-Siddiq. 378 00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:21,410 Zaynab, the daughter of the Prophet, 379 00:17:21,410 --> 00:17:23,410 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, remained 380 00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:25,410 with Abu al-'As Ibn al-Rabi'. 381 00:17:25,410 --> 00:17:27,410 She was unable to migrate with him 382 00:17:27,410 -->

00:17:53,160 in the place where the she-camel had knelt. 388 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,160 The land belonged to two orphan boys, 389 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,160 so he purchased it. 390 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,160 The Muslims built the mosque, 391 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,160 and the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, participated 392 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,160 in the construction with his own noble hands, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 393 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,160 He would say while building with them: 394 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,160 "O Allah, there is no life but the life of the Hereafter, 395 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,160 so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun." 396 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,160 The Ansar would work with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 397 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,160 They would say, 398 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,160 "Should we sit idle while the Prophet works?" 399 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,160 That was our misguided effort. 400 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,220 In that location, there were 401 00:18:32,220 --> 00:18:34,220 graves of the polytheists. 402 00:18:34,220 --> 00:18:37,220 There were also ruins and palm trees. 403 00:18:37,220 --> 00:18:41,220 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, ordered the graves to be exhumed. 404 00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:43,220 The ruins were leveled. 405 00:18:43,220 --> 00:18:45,220 And the palm trees were cut down. 406 00:18:45,220 --> 00:18:48,220 They were then arranged along the qibla of the mosque. 407 00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:51,220 The qibla at that time was 408 00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:53,220 toward Bayt al-Maqdis. 409 00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:56,220 The Prophet, peace be upon him, had not yet been commanded 410 00:18:56,220 --> 00:18:58,220 to turn toward Makkah. 411 00:18:59,220 --> 00:19:02,220 Houses were built beside this mosque, 412 00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:04,220 which were the chambers, 413 00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:07,220 the homes of his wives, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 414 00:19:07,220 --> 00:19:10,220 Once the construction was complete, 415 00:19:10,220 --> 00:19:14,220 he, peace be upon him, moved into those houses. 416 00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:17,289 Treasures of the Prophetic biography.
