00:00:22.929 from Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 00:00:22.929 --> 00:00:27.329 "I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the cave, 00:00:27.329 --> 00:00:29.129 and when I raised my head, 00:00:29.129 --> 00:00:31.730 I suddenly saw the feet of the pursuers. 00:00:31.730 --> 00:00:34.130 I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, 00:00:34.329 --> 00:00:38.329 if one of them were only to cast his eyes down, he would see us.' 00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:41.530 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:43.729 'Be quiet, O Abu Bakr! 00:00:43.729 --> 00:00:44.929 What of two, 00:00:44.929 --> 00:00:47.329 when Allah is their third?'" 00:00:47.329 --> 00:00:48.729 And in another narration: 00:00:48.729 --> 00:00:51.729 "'What do you think, O Abu Bakr, of two 00:00:51.729 --> 00:00:54.520 when Allah is their third?'" 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.320 When Quraysh relented in their active pursuit, 00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.119 the Prophet (peace be upon him) prepared 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:01.920 to depart from the cave 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.319 and head toward Medina. 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.120 That was because 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.719 used to bring them news, 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.719 and the Prophet (peace be upon him) had hired 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.319 a paid guide, 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.920 namely 'Abdullah ibn Urayqit. 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.319 He served as a guide for the Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.719 and Abu Bakr. 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.519 He was a disbeliever, 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.120 yet despite this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) enlisted his help. 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.319 From this, the scholars derived the ruling 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.719 that it is permissible to seek the assistance of a non-Muslim 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.109 when there is a need for it. 00:01:35.109 --> 00:01:37.909 The Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:01:37.909 --> 00:01:40.310 had entrusted 'Abdullah ibn Urayqit 00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:41.909 with the two riding camels 00:01:41.909 --> 00:01:43.909 and arranged to meet him at the Cave of Thawr 00:01:43.909 --> 00:01:46.109 after three nights. 00:01:46.109 --> 00:01:48.510 The Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:50.909 placed his trust in him despite his disbelief, 00:01:50.909 --> 00:01:53.510 though he could easily have informed Quraysh 00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:56.510 of the whereabouts of the Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:01:56.510 --> 00:01:57.909 and Abu Bakr 00:01:57.909 --> 00:02:00.340 and collected the bounty of a hundred camels. 00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:02.340 Yet he only entrusted him with the task 00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:05.439 because he was a man of integrity. 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.240 When the eve of Monday arrived, 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.240 'Abdullah ibn Urayqit brought them the two mounts. 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.639 They belonged to Abu Bakr, 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.039 so Abu Bakr said to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.240 "May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah! 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.039 Take one of these two riding camels"— 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:26.439 meaning as a gift for him— 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.240 and he presented the better of the two to him. 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.840 But the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.500 "[Only] for its price." 00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.300 Asma' bint Abi Bakr brought them 00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:38.900 their travel provisions, 00:02:38.900 --> 00:02:41.900 but she had forgotten to make a strap for the leather bag— 00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:44.300 that is, something with which to tie it. 00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:45.900 When they were about to set out, 00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:48.099 she went to hang the provisions bag, 00:02:48.099 --> 00:02:50.500 only to find it had no strap. 00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:53.300 So she split her waist-belt into two pieces; 00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:56.900 with one of them she tied the provisions bag, 00:02:57.099 --> 00:02:59.500 and with the other she fastened her waist. 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"). 00:03:03.099 --> 00:03:06.629 The nitaq is a girdle tied around the waist. 00:03:06.629 --> 00:03:08.229 Al-Bukhari recorded 00:03:08.229 --> 00:03:12.229 on the authority of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: 00:03:12.229 --> 00:03:15.229 "We traveled through the night and into the next day, 00:03:15.229 --> 00:03:18.030 until the sun reached its zenith at noon 00:03:18.030 --> 00:03:19.430 and the road became completely deserted, 00:03:19.430 --> 00:03:21.830 with no one passing by. 00:03:21.830 --> 00:03:25.430 Then a high rock appeared before us that cast a shade 00:03:25.430 --> 00:03:27.629 upon which the sun had not yet fallen. 00:03:27.629 --> 00:03:29.830 So we halted beside it, 00:03:29.830 --> 00:03:33.030 and I leveled a spot with my own hands for the Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:03:33.030 --> 00:03:35.830 to sleep upon, 00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:38.030 spread a fur rug over it, 00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:39.229 and said: 00:03:39.229 --> 00:03:41.229 'Sleep, O Messenger of Allah, 00:03:41.229 --> 00:03:44.030 while I sweep and guard the area around you.' 00:03:44.030 --> 00:03:45.229 So he went to sleep, 00:03:45.229 --> 00:03:48.030 and I went out to watch over the surroundings. 00:03:48.030 --> 00:03:51.430 Suddenly, I saw a shepherd approaching the rock, 00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:54.629 seeking from it the very shade we sought. 00:03:54.629 --> 00:03:56.030 I asked him, 00:03:56.030 --> 00:03:58.229 'To whom do you belong, young man?' 00:03:58.229 --> 00:03:59.430 He replied, 00:03:59.430 --> 00:04:03.099 'To a man from the people of Medina'—or 'Mecca.' 00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:04.099 I asked, 00:04:04.099 --> 00:04:06.099 'Is there any milk in your sheep?' 00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:07.699 He said, 'Yes.' 00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:08.500 I asked, 00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:09.900 'Will you milk some for us?' 00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:11.500 He said, 'Yes.' 00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:13.099 He took hold of a sheep, 00:04:13.099 --> 00:04:14.300 and I said, 00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:18.300 'Dust the udder clean of dirt, hair, and debris.' 00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:21.699 He milked a small quantity of fresh milk into a wooden cup. 00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:26.300 I had a leather water-skin that I carried for the Prophet (peace be upon him) 00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:28.100 for his refreshment, 00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:30.300 from which he could drink and perform ablution. 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:33.699 I returned to the Prophet (peace be upon him), 00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:35.899 but I disliked waking him, 00:04:35.899 --> 00:04:38.300 and arrived just as he woke up. 00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:40.699 I poured water over the vessel of milk 00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:42.899 until its bottom cooled down, 00:04:42.899 --> 00:04:43.899 and I said, 00:04:43.899 --> 00:04:46.300 'Drink, O Messenger of Allah.' 00:04:46.300 --> 00:04:48.699 He drank until I was completely satisfied. 00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:50.100 Then he said, 00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:52.100 'Is it not time to depart?' 00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:53.500 I said, 'Yes indeed.' 00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:54.500 He said: 00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:56.100 And so we set out." 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:03.019 Treasures of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah). 00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:05.660 Suraqah ibn Malik 00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:10.290 in pursuit of the reward. 00:05:10.290 --> 00:05:14.889 A man named Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Ju'shum 00:05:14.889 --> 00:05:19.550 pursued the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr, 00:05:19.550 --> 00:05:22.750 and Suraqah himself recounts his story. 00:05:22.750 --> 00:05:23.949 He said: 00:05:23.949 --> 00:05:29.550 "While I was sitting in one of the gatherings of my people, the Banu Mudlij, 00:05:29.550 --> 00:05:31.550 a man from among them came along, 00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:34.949 stood before us as we sat, 00:05:34.949 --> 00:05:36.149 and said: 00:05:36.149 --> 00:05:37.550 'O Suraqah! 00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:41.550 I have just spotted silhouettes along the coastal road; 00:05:41.550 --> 00:05:44.379 I believe they are Muhammad and his companions.' 00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:45.980 Suraqah said: 00:05:45.980 --> 00:05:48.180 I realized that it was indeed them, 00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:49.579 but I said to him: 00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:51.779 'They are not them; 00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:54.779 rather, you only saw so-and-so and so-and-so, 00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:57.220 who set out before our very eyes.' 00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:01.220 I then lingered in the gathering for a while before getting up. 00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:06.220 I went home and ordered my slave-girl to lead my horse behind a hill 00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:08.220 and hold it ready for me. 00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:09.819 I took my spear, 00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:12.420 slipped out from the back of the house, 00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:14.819 trailing the lower iron tip along the ground 00:06:14.819 --> 00:06:16.620 and keeping its upper blade lowered, 00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:20.220 until I reached my horse and mounted it. 00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:23.819 Then I paused, reached my hand into my quiver, 00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:26.220 drew out the divining arrows, 00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:28.019 and consulted them: 00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:29.819 whether I should harm them or not. 00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:32.220 The arrow came out with the result I disliked. 00:06:32.220 --> 00:06:33.220 He said: 00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:36.420 Yet I mounted my horse and defied the divining arrows. 00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:41.620 When I drew close to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr, 00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:45.620 I could hear the recitation of the Prophet (peace be upon him), 00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:47.420 who was not looking back at all, 00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:50.620 whereas Abu Bakr was looking back repeatedly. 00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:51.620 He said: 00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:54.420 Suddenly, the forelegs of my horse sank into the ground 00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:56.819 up to its knees, 00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.620 and I fell off it. 00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:01.019 I then rebuked it, and it struggled to stand, 00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:03.850 but could hardly pull its forelegs out. 00:07:03.850 --> 00:07:06.050 When it finally stood upright, 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. 00:07:11.649 --> 00:07:15.250 I consulted the divining arrows a second time, 00:07:15.250 --> 00:07:17.250 and again the result came out with what I disliked. 00:07:17.449 --> 00:07:19.649 So I called out to them offering a pledge of safety, 00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:20.850 and they halted. 00:07:20.850 --> 00:07:23.850 I rode my horse until I reached them, 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 00:07:28.649 --> 00:07:30.850 and seeing how my horse had been restrained— 00:07:30.850 --> 00:07:35.050 that the cause of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would inevitably prevail. 00:07:35.050 --> 00:07:36.649 I said to him, 00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:40.050 'Your people have placed a bounty upon your head,' 00:07:40.050 --> 00:07:42.850 and I offered him provisions and gear, 00:07:42.850 --> 00:07:44.649 but they took nothing from me, 00:07:44.649 --> 00:07:46.250 nor did they ask me for anything, 00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:47.850 except that he said: 00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:49.649 'Keep our whereabouts secret.' 00:07:49.649 --> 00:07:53.050 I then asked him to write a document granting me security, 00:07:53.050 --> 00:07:55.449 so he instructed 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah, 00:07:55.449 --> 00:07:58.649 who wrote it for me on a piece of leather. 00:07:58.649 --> 00:08:02.850 Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) went on his way." 00:08:02.850 --> 00:08:05.250 Suraqah ibn Malik turned back, 00:08:05.250 --> 00:08:07.649 and finding people still actively searching, 00:08:07.649 --> 00:08:09.449 he began telling them: 00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:11.850 "I have already checked the news for you along this route; 00:08:11.850 --> 00:08:14.879 I have spared you the search here." 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.480 Glory be to Allah! 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.680 At the beginning of the journey, 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.480 he was eager to kill them both 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.279 and claim the reward; 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.279 yet by the end of the day, 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.079 he was actively defending them 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.079 and concealing their trail. 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.279 This was entirely from Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:34.879 showing how He protects His Prophet (peace be upon him). 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:42.259 Treasures of the Prophetic biography (Seerah). 00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:47.179 The tent of Umm Ma'bad. 00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:49.980 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed by 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:51.980 during that journey 00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:53.980 until he reached the tent of a woman 00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:56.840 known as Umm Ma'bad. 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.639 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, asked her, 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.039 along with Abu Bakr, 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.039 "Do you have anything?" 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:04.039 She replied, 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:07.840 "By Allah, we have nothing; the drought has exhausted what we had." 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.799 It was a year of severe famine. 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.399 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, looked 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.399 at a sheep in the corner of the tent 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.600 and asked, 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.600 "What is this sheep, Umm Ma'bad?" 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:21.799 She said, 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.000 "A sheep too weak and exhausted to follow the flock." 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.200 He asked, 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.200 "Does it have any milk?" 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:29.399 She replied, 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.799 "It is far too exhausted for that." 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.000 He said, 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.799 "Do you permit me to milk it?" 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:36.799 She replied, 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.000 "Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you; 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.559 if you see any milk in it, then milk it." 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.759 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, then wiped 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.360 its udder with his hand, 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.559 invoked the name of Allah, and prayed. 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.559 The sheep relaxed its legs and its milk flowed abundantly. 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.759 He called for a vessel of hers, 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.360 and milked into it until it was covered in foam. 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.559 He gave her to drink, and she drank until she was satisfied. 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:06.159 He gave his companions, Abu Bakr and 'Amir, to drink, 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.159 as well as 'Abdullah Ibn Urayqit, 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:09.759 until they were all satisfied. 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.360 Then he drank. 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.960 He milked it a second time until he filled the vessel, 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:20.220 then left it with her and departed, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:23.620 After that, the husband of Umm Ma'bad returned, 00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:27.419 driving lean goats that had no milk. 00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:29.820 When he saw the milk, he was astonished 00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:31.220 and asked, 00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:34.419 "Where did you get this from, when the sheep is barren 00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:36.820 and there is no milch animal in the house?" 00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:38.019 She replied, 00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:39.220 "No, by Allah, 00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:42.820 except that a blessed man passed by us." 00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:46.820 She told him what had happened. 00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:48.820 Her husband said, 00:10:48.820 --> 00:10:53.620 "By Allah, I believe this is the man of Quraysh whom they are seeking. 00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:56.419 Describe him to me, Umm Ma'bad." 00:10:56.419 --> 00:10:58.820 She described him with various attributes, 00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:00.620 and he said to her, 00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:04.820 "By Allah, this is the one the people of Makkah are searching for." 00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:08.860 I heard verses said to be from the Jinn: 00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:10.860 May Allah reward, 00:11:12.110 --> 00:11:15.909 May Allah, Lord of the Throne, reward with the best of rewards 00:11:15.909 --> 00:11:20.110 two companions who stayed in the tent of Umm Ma'bad. 00:11:20.110 --> 00:11:23.710 They brought blessings when they arrived and departed with them. 00:11:23.710 --> 00:11:27.580 Successful is he who becomes a companion of Muhammad. 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 00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:35.580 of deeds that cannot be repaid, and for your nobility. 00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:39.379 May the sons of Ka'b be congratulated for the place of their woman, 00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:43.379 and her seat which is a station for the believers. 00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:47.379 Ask your sister about her sheep and her vessel, 00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:51.379 for if you ask the sheep, it will bear witness. 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.200 On Monday, 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.200 the eighth of Rabi' al-Awwal, 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.200 in the fourteenth year 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.200 of the Prophet's mission, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.200 he arrived at Quba'. 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.230 'Urwah Ibn al-Zubayr said: 00:12:20.230 --> 00:12:22.230 The Muslims in Madinah heard 00:12:22.230 --> 00:12:26.230 of the departure of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:12:26.230 --> 00:12:27.230 from Makkah. 00:12:27.230 --> 00:12:30.230 They would go out every morning to the Harrah (lava fields), 00:12:30.230 --> 00:12:34.230 waiting for him until the heat of midday drove them back. 00:12:34.230 --> 00:12:38.230 One day, after waiting for a long time, they turned back. 00:12:38.230 --> 00:12:41.230 When they had retreated to their homes, 00:12:41.230 --> 00:12:45.230 a man from the Jews climbed one of their fortresses 00:12:45.230 --> 00:12:49.230 and caught sight of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:12:49.230 --> 00:12:51.230 and his companions, dressed in white, 00:12:51.230 --> 00:12:53.230 shimmering in the mirage. 00:12:53.230 --> 00:12:55.230 The Jew could not help 00:12:55.230 --> 00:12:57.230 but call out at the top of his voice, 00:12:57.230 --> 00:12:59.230 "O people of the Arabs! 00:12:59.230 --> 00:13:03.230 This is your leader whom you have been waiting for!" 00:13:03.230 --> 00:13:05.230 The Muslims rushed to take up their weapons 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. 00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:12.230 He turned with them to the right 00:13:12.230 --> 00:13:15.230 until he settled among the Banu 'Amr Ibn 'Awf. 00:13:15.230 --> 00:13:19.230 This was on a Monday in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal. 00:13:19.230 --> 00:13:22.230 Abu Bakr stood up for the people, 00:13:22.230 --> 00:13:26.230 while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sat in silence. 00:13:26.230 --> 00:13:29.259 The Ansar who arrived, 00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:33.259 those who had not seen the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, before, 00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:35.259 began coming to Abu Bakr, 00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:38.259 thinking he was the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 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, 00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:46.259 Abu Bakr came forward 00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:50.259 and shaded the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:13:50.259 --> 00:13:51.259 with his cloak. 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. 00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:59.259 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib remained behind 00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:01.259 for three days to return the trusts 00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:04.259 on behalf of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:07.259 then he migrated on foot. 00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:11.389 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stayed in Quba' 00:14:11.389 --> 00:14:14.389 for four days, according to the most well-known account: 00:14:14.389 --> 00:14:16.389 Monday, Tuesday, 00:14:16.389 --> 00:14:19.389 Wednesday, and Thursday. 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:36.179 He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, founded the Quba' Mosque 00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:38.179 and prayed in it; 00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:41.179 it is the first mosque founded upon piety. 00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:45.179 When the fifth day came, which was Friday, 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, 00:14:50.179 --> 00:14:52.179 with Abu Bakr riding behind him. 00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:54.179 He sent for the Banu al-Najjar, 00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:57.179 who were the maternal uncles of his grandfather, 'Abd al-Muttalib. 00:14:57.179 --> 00:15:00.179 They came, girded with their swords. 00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:02.179 He traveled toward Madinah, 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. 00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:11.179 He performed the Friday prayer with them in the mosque located in the valley. 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. 00:15:17.179 --> 00:15:19.179 After he performed the Friday prayer, 00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:22.179 he set off into the heart of Madinah. 00:15:22.179 --> 00:15:26.179 He would not pass by any of the houses of the Ansar 00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:28.179 without them taking hold of his camel's halter, 00:15:28.179 --> 00:15:30.179 saying to him, 00:15:30.179 --> 00:15:32.179 "O Messenger of Allah, 00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:34.179 come to where there is number, equipment, 00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:36.179 weapons, and protection." 00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:38.179 He would say to them, 00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:40.179 "Leave her path, 00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:42.179 for she is commanded." 00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:44.179 She continued to walk with him 00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:48.179 until she reached the site of the Prophet's Mosque, 00:15:48.179 --> 00:15:50.179 where she knelt down. 00:15:50.179 --> 00:15:52.179 He did not dismount 00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:54.179 until she rose and walked a little further, 00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:56.179 then turned back and returned, 00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:58.179 kneeling in her original spot. 00:15:58.179 --> 00:16:02.179 Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, dismounted 00:16:02.179 --> 00:16:04.179 among the Banu al-Najjar. 00:16:04.179 --> 00:16:07.179 This was by the grace of Allah for him, 00:16:07.179 --> 00:16:10.179 for he loved to stay with his maternal uncles 00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:12.179 to honor them by doing so. 00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:14.179 This is part of maintaining family ties. 00:16:14.179 --> 00:16:16.179 People began speaking to 00:16:16.179 --> 00:16:19.179 the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:21.179 about staying with them. 00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:23.179 Each one of them would come 00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:25.179 to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:27.179 and say, 00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:29.179 "O Messenger of Allah, 00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:30.179 stay with me, 00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:32.179 dwell with me." 00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:34.179 Abu Ayyub al-Ansari stood up, 00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:37.179 took the Prophet's luggage, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:40.179 and entered his house with it. 00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:43.220 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, turned to him 00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:45.220 and said, 00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:47.220 "A man is with his luggage." 00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:49.340 As'ad Ibn Zurarah came 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, 00:16:53.340 --> 00:16:55.340 saying, 00:16:55.340 --> 00:16:57.409 "The camel is with me." 00:16:57.409 --> 00:16:59.409 After some days, 00:16:59.409 --> 00:17:02.409 the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:17:02.409 --> 00:17:04.410 Sawdah, 00:17:04.410 --> 00:17:07.410 and his daughters Fatimah and Umm Kulthum arrived, 00:17:07.410 --> 00:17:09.410 as well as Usamah Ibn Zayd 00:17:09.410 --> 00:17:11.410 and Umm Ayman. 00:17:11.410 --> 00:17:13.410 All of them 00:17:13.410 --> 00:17:15.410 traveled with 'Abdullah Ibn Abi Bakr, 00:17:15.410 --> 00:17:17.410 and with him were also the children of Abu Bakr 00:17:17.410 --> 00:17:19.410 al-Siddiq. 00:17:19.410 --> 00:17:21.410 Zaynab, the daughter of the Prophet, 00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:23.410 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, remained 00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:25.410 with Abu al-'As Ibn al-Rabi'. 00:17:25.410 --> 00:17:27.410 She was unable to migrate with him 00:17:27.410 --> 00:17:29.410 because he was still following the religion of his people. 00:17:29.410 --> 00:17:32.049 Treasures of the Seerah. 00:17:32.049 --> 00:17:40.079 Building the Prophet's Mosque. 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:47.160 After the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had settled, 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:50.160 he began building the Prophet's Mosque 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.160 in the place where the she-camel had knelt. 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.160 The land belonged to two orphan boys, 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.160 so he purchased it. 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:00.160 The Muslims built the mosque, 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.160 and the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, participated 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.160 in the construction with his own noble hands, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.160 He would say while building with them: 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:14.160 "O Allah, there is no life but the life of the Hereafter, 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.160 so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun." 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:22.160 The Ansar would work with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.160 They would say, 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.160 "Should we sit idle while the Prophet works?" 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.160 That was our misguided effort. 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.220 In that location, there were 00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:34.220 graves of the polytheists. 00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:37.220 There were also ruins and palm trees. 00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:41.220 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, ordered the graves to be exhumed. 00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:43.220 The ruins were leveled. 00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:45.220 And the palm trees were cut down. 00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:48.220 They were then arranged along the qibla of the mosque. 00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:51.220 The qibla at that time was 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.220 toward Bayt al-Maqdis. 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:56.220 The Prophet, peace be upon him, had not yet been commanded 00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:58.220 to turn toward Makkah. 00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:02.220 Houses were built beside this mosque, 00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:04.220 which were the chambers, 00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:07.220 the homes of his wives, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:10.220 Once the construction was complete, 00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:14.220 he, peace be upon him, moved into those houses. 00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:17.289 Treasures of the Prophetic biography.
