1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,750
A Abridged Manual of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah).

4
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:25,100
Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid Al-Azmi, may Allah preserve him.

5
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:37,590
The Marriage of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her).

6
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:45,939
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her).

7
00:00:45,939 --> 00:00:48,939
That was after he set her free.

8
00:00:48,939 --> 00:00:51,939
Her story was recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad,

9
00:00:51,939 --> 00:00:55,939
And Abu Dawud in his Sunan with a good chain of transmission,

10
00:00:55,939 --> 00:00:58,939
On the authority of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said:

11
00:00:58,939 --> 00:01:04,939
"When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) distributed the captives of Banu Al-Mustaliq,

12
00:01:04,939 --> 00:01:10,939
Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith fell into the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas (may Allah be pleased with him)—

13
00:01:10,939 --> 00:01:12,939
Or to a cousin of his.

14
00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:15,939
She wrote a contract of emancipation for herself.

15
00:01:15,939 --> 00:01:18,939
She was a sweet, attractive woman;

16
00:01:18,939 --> 00:01:22,939
No one saw her without falling under her spell.

17
00:01:22,939 --> 00:01:28,939
She came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) seeking his aid regarding her emancipation contract.

18
00:01:28,939 --> 00:01:35,939
Aisha said: 'By Allah, the moment I saw her standing at the door of my apartment, I felt an aversion to her,

19
00:01:35,939 --> 00:01:38,939
For I knew that he would see in her what I had seen.'

20
00:01:38,939 --> 00:01:42,030
She entered upon him and said:

21
00:01:42,030 --> 00:01:44,030
'O Messenger of Allah!

22
00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:47,030
I am Juwayriyah, daughter of Al-Harith ibn Abi Dirar,

23
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:49,030
The chief of his people.

24
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:52,030
Calamity has befallen me, as is not hidden from you.

25
00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:56,030
I fell into the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas,

26
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:59,030
So I contracted with him to free myself,

27
00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:02,030
And I have come to you seeking your assistance in paying my ransom.'

28
00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:06,030
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

29
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:09,030
'Would you consider something better than that?'

30
00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:12,030
She asked: 'And what is that, O Messenger of Allah?'

31
00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:16,030
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

32
00:02:16,030 --> 00:02:19,030
'I shall settle your contract and marry you.'

33
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:22,030
She said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.'

34
00:02:22,030 --> 00:02:26,099
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied:

35
00:02:26,099 --> 00:02:28,099
'It is done.'

36
00:02:28,099 --> 00:02:31,099
Aisha said: 'The news went out to the people

37
00:02:31,099 --> 00:02:34,099
That the Messenger of Allah

38
00:02:34,099 --> 00:02:37,099
Had married Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith.

39
00:02:37,099 --> 00:02:43,099
The people then said: "They are the in-laws of the Messenger of Allah!"

40
00:02:43,099 --> 00:02:45,099
So they released whatever captives they held in their hands.'

41
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:50,099
Aisha said: 'Through his marriage to her, he caused the emancipation

42
00:02:50,099 --> 00:02:53,099
Of one hundred households of Banu Al-Mustaliq.

43
00:02:53,099 --> 00:02:59,099
I know of no woman who was a greater blessing to her people than she.'

44
00:02:59,099 --> 00:03:05,020
The Plot of the Hypocrites to Stir Up Sedition.

45
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:10,590
We previously mentioned that there went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

46
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:14,590
In this military expedition a large number of hypocrites,

47
00:03:14,590 --> 00:03:20,590
At their head Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, the leader of the hypocrites.

48
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:24,590
Their going forth with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

49
00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:26,590
In this expedition was solely

50
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:29,590
To incite sedition among the Muslims.

51
00:03:29,590 --> 00:03:33,590
Tremendous events took place on account of them,

52
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:37,590
Including the revival of tribalistic rivalries of the pre-Islamic Jahiliyyah.

53
00:03:37,590 --> 00:03:40,620
The two Shaykhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) recorded in their Sahihs

54
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:44,620
On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said:

55
00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:49,620
"We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on an expedition,

56
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:53,620
And a man from the Emigrants struck a man from the Ansar on the rear.

57
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:57,620
The Ansari cried out: 'O Ansar! Help!'

58
00:03:57,620 --> 00:04:01,620
And the Emigrant cried out: 'O Emigrants! Help!'

59
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:05,620
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) heard this

60
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:09,620
And said: 'What is this call of Jahiliyyah?'

61
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:12,620
They said: 'O Messenger of Allah,

62
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:16,620
A man from the Emigrants struck a man from the Ansar on his rear.'

63
00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:20,620
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

64
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:23,620
'Abandon it, for it is rotten and repulsive!'

65
00:04:23,620 --> 00:04:27,620
Imam Muslim added in his Sahih in another narration:

66
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:31,620
'Let a man help his brother, whether he be an oppressor or oppressed.

67
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:34,620
If he is an oppressor, let him stop him,

68
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:36,620
For indeed that is his help to him;

69
00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:39,620
And if he is oppressed, let him render aid to him.'

70
00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:43,360
Ibn Salul's Reaction to the Incident.

71
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,360
When word of that reached Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, he grew furious

72
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,360
And uttered a vile statement.

73
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,360
Ibn Ishaq recorded in the Seerah from his teachers

74
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,360
Who said: Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul became enraged

75
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,360
While in the presence of a group of his people,

76
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Among whom was Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him),

77
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,360
Who was a young boy at the time.

78
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Ibn Salul said: 'Have they truly done this?

79
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,360
They now vie with us and outnumber us in our own land!

80
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,360
By Allah, our situation and that of the destitute of Quraysh

81
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,360
Is just as the old saying goes:

82
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,360
"Fatten your dog, and it will devour you!"

83
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,360
By Allah, if we return to Al-Madinah, [the most honorable will surely expel the most humiliated therefrom].'

84
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,360
“They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8)

85
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,360
Then he turned to those present from his people

86
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,360
And said to them: 'This is what you have brought upon yourselves!

87
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360
You welcomed them into your country

88
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,360
And shared your wealth with them.

89
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,360
By Allah, had you withheld from them what was in your hands,

90
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,519
They would have moved on to another land!'

91
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,519
Recorded by Imams Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and At-Tirmidhi—

92
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:52,519
And the wording belongs to At-Tirmidhi—

93
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:56,519
On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said:

94
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:59,519
Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul heard of this

95
00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:02,519
And said: 'Have they truly done this?

96
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:05,519
By Allah, if we return to Al-Madinah, [the most honorable will surely expel the most humiliated therefrom].'

97
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:08,519
“They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8)

98
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,579
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

99
00:06:11,579 --> 00:06:13,579
'O Messenger of Allah!

100
00:06:13,579 --> 00:06:16,620
Let me strike the neck of this hypocrite!'

101
00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:19,620
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

102
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:21,620
'Leave him alone,

103
00:06:21,620 --> 00:06:25,620
Lest the people say that Muhammad kills his companions.'

104
00:06:25,620 --> 00:06:30,699
Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him)

105
00:06:30,699 --> 00:06:33,699
Reports the Incident.

106
00:06:33,699 --> 00:06:37,300
When Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) heard

107
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:40,300
That statement from this hypocrite,

108
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,339
He went and informed his uncle of it.

109
00:06:43,339 --> 00:06:46,339
Imam Al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih

110
00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:49,339
On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

111
00:06:49,339 --> 00:06:52,339
"I was participating in an expedition,

112
00:06:52,339 --> 00:06:55,339
And I heard Abdullah ibn Ubayy saying: ['Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah]

113
00:06:55,339 --> 00:06:58,339
“They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.” (63:7)

114
00:06:58,339 --> 00:07:01,339
Until they disperse from around him,' [and: 'If we return to Al-Madinah, the most honorable will surely expel the most humiliated therefrom.']

115
00:07:02,339 --> 00:07:05,339
“They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8)

116
00:07:05,339 --> 00:07:08,370
So I mentioned that to my uncle, or to Umar,

117
00:07:08,370 --> 00:07:12,370
Who in turn mentioned it to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

118
00:07:12,370 --> 00:07:15,370
The Prophet summoned me, and I recounted it to him.

119
00:07:15,370 --> 00:07:18,370
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent word

120
00:07:18,370 --> 00:07:21,370
To Abdullah ibn Ubayy and his companions,

121
00:07:21,370 --> 00:07:24,370
But they swore that they had said no such thing.

122
00:07:24,370 --> 00:07:27,370
Thus, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) disbelieved me."

123
00:07:27,370 --> 00:07:30,620
In another wording in the Two Sahihs,

124
00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:33,620
Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

125
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:36,620
"So he sent for Abdullah ibn Ubayy

126
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:39,620
And questioned him, but he swore solemn oaths

127
00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:42,620
That he had neither done nor said it,

128
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:45,620
So he considered Zayd to have lied and believed the Messenger of Allah."

129
00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:48,689
In the narration of At-Tahawi in Sharh

130
00:07:48,689 --> 00:07:51,689
Mushkil Al-Athar with a good chain of transmission,

131
00:07:51,689 --> 00:07:54,689
Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

132
00:07:54,689 --> 00:07:57,689
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) looked at me,

133
00:07:57,689 --> 00:08:00,689
And Sa'd ibn Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said—

134
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:03,689
Sa'd said: 'O Messenger of Allah,

135
00:08:03,689 --> 00:08:06,689
It was only a young boy who informed me'—

136
00:08:06,689 --> 00:08:09,689
Referring to Zayd ibn Arqam.

137
00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:12,689
Sa'd came, took me by the hand, and led me away,

138
00:08:12,689 --> 00:08:15,689
Saying: 'This boy told me.'

139
00:08:15,689 --> 00:08:18,689
Then Abdullah ibn Ubayy rebuked me,

140
00:08:18,689 --> 00:08:21,689
So I rushed weeping to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

141
00:08:21,689 --> 00:08:24,689
Crying and saying:

142
00:08:24,689 --> 00:08:27,689
'By the One Who revealed the Prophethood upon you!

143
00:08:27,689 --> 00:08:30,689
He indeed said it!'

144
00:08:30,689 --> 00:08:33,690
Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

145
00:08:33,690 --> 00:08:36,690
'Thereupon I was afflicted with a grief the likes of which I had never suffered before.

146
00:08:36,690 --> 00:08:39,690
My uncle said to me:

147
00:08:39,690 --> 00:08:42,690
"What did you intend other than having the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) deem you a liar

148
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:47,700
And detest you?"'"

149
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:50,700
Divine Revelation Vindicates Zayd ibn Arqam

150
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:54,250
(May Allah be pleased with him).

151
00:08:55,250 --> 00:08:58,250
"While I was riding alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

152
00:08:58,250 --> 00:09:01,250
My head nodding off from severe distress and fatigue,

153
00:09:01,250 --> 00:09:04,250
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came up to me,

154
00:09:04,250 --> 00:09:07,250
Pinched my ear affectionately, and smiled in my face.

155
00:09:07,250 --> 00:09:10,250
I would not have exchanged that gesture for eternal life in this world!

156
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:13,250
Then Abu Bakr caught up with me

157
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:16,309
And asked:

158
00:09:16,309 --> 00:09:19,309
'What did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say to you?'

159
00:09:19,309 --> 00:09:22,309
I replied:

160
00:09:22,309 --> 00:09:25,309
'He said nothing to me,

161
00:09:25,309 --> 00:09:28,309
Except that he pinched my ear and smiled in my face.'

162
00:09:28,309 --> 00:09:31,309
Abu Bakr said:

163
00:09:31,309 --> 00:09:34,340
'Rejoice!'

164
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:37,340
Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) caught up with me,

165
00:09:37,340 --> 00:09:40,340
And I said to him the same as I had said to Abu Bakr.

166
00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:43,340
When morning came,

167
00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:46,340
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) recited

168
00:09:46,340 --> 00:09:49,570
Surah Al-Munafiqun."

169
00:09:50,570 --> 00:09:53,570
In the wording recorded by Ahmad

170
00:09:53,570 --> 00:09:56,570
On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:

171
00:09:56,570 --> 00:09:59,570
"The Prophet of Allah sent for me—

172
00:09:59,570 --> 00:10:02,570
Or I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)—

173
00:10:02,570 --> 00:10:05,570
And he said: 'Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime,

174
00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:08,570
Has sent down your vindication and confirmed your truthfulness.'

175
00:10:08,570 --> 00:10:11,570
He said: 'So this verse was revealed:

176
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:14,570
“They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.” (63:7)

177
00:10:14,570 --> 00:10:17,570
“They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.” (63:7)

178
00:10:17,570 --> 00:10:20,570
"They are the ones who say: 'Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah until they disperse,'"

179
00:10:20,570 --> 00:10:23,570
Down to His statement:

180
00:10:23,570 --> 00:10:26,700
"If we return to Al-Madinah, the most honorable will surely expel

181
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:29,700
The most humiliated therefrom."'"

182
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:32,700
Imam Al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih

183
00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:35,700
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:

184
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,700
"The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

185
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,700
'This is the one whose ear Allah fulfilled His promise to.'"

186
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,700
Al-Hafiz ibn Hajar stated in Al-Fath:

187
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:48,700
"The meaning is that Allah vindicated his truthfulness."
