00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.359
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:12.820
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:17.539
A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:17.539 --> 00:00:22.859
Authored by Sheikh Musa bin Rashid al-Azimi.

00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:24.859
May Allah preserve him.

00:00:24.859 --> 00:00:31.329
Permission to migrate to Medina.

00:00:31.329 --> 00:00:35.329
The Mother of the Believers, 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:

00:00:35.609 --> 00:00:40.609
When the seventy [delegates] departed from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:00:40.609 --> 00:00:43.609
his heart was at ease, peace be upon him.

00:00:43.609 --> 00:00:49.609
Allah had granted him protection and a people who were warriors, well-equipped, and supportive.

00:00:49.609 --> 00:00:54.609
Meanwhile, the polytheists intensified their persecution of the Muslims

00:00:54.609 --> 00:00:57.609
upon learning of their departure to Medina.

00:00:57.609 --> 00:00:59.609
They tightened their grip on his Companions,

00:00:59.609 --> 00:01:04.609
and subjected them to unprecedented levels of abuse and insults.

00:01:04.890 --> 00:01:09.890
The Companions of the Messenger of Allah complained of this,

00:01:09.890 --> 00:01:11.890
and sought his permission to migrate.

00:01:11.890 --> 00:01:14.079
Ibn Ishaq said:

00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:19.079
When this clan of the Ansar pledged their allegiance to him in Islam,

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:24.079
and promised support for him, his followers, and the early Muslims,

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.079
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, commanded

00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.079
his Companions among the Muhajirun from his own people,

00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.079
and the Muslims who were with him in Mecca,

00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.359
to depart for Medina and migrate there,

00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.359
and to join their brothers among the Ansar.

00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:43.549
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:46.549
from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:51.549
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to the Muslims:

00:01:51.549 --> 00:01:56.549
"I have been shown the place of your migration: a land of palm trees between two lava fields."

00:01:56.549 --> 00:01:58.549
These are the two rocky tracts.

00:01:58.549 --> 00:02:01.650
The two Sheikhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their Sahih collections

00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:05.930
from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:02:05.930 --> 00:02:08.930
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:02:08.930 --> 00:02:11.930
"I saw in a dream

00:02:11.930 --> 00:02:15.930
that I was migrating from Mecca to a land with palm trees."

00:02:15.930 --> 00:02:19.930
My mind initially turned to al-Yamamah or Hajar,

00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:22.930
but it turned out to be Medina, Yathrib.

00:02:22.930 --> 00:02:24.930
The meaning of "my mind turned to"

00:02:24.930 --> 00:02:27.990
is my assumption and belief.

00:02:27.990 --> 00:02:30.990
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, commanded

00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:34.270
all the Muslims to migrate to Medina

00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:37.270
and join their brothers among the Ansar.

00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:40.270
He said to them: "Allah, the Almighty,

00:02:40.270 --> 00:02:43.270
has provided you with brothers and a home

00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:45.270
where you will be secure."

00:02:45.270 --> 00:02:48.270
So they departed in groups, in secret.

00:02:48.270 --> 00:02:51.270
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, remained

00:02:51.270 --> 00:02:53.270
in Mecca,

00:02:53.270 --> 00:02:56.270
waiting for his Lord to grant him permission

00:02:56.270 --> 00:02:58.270
to depart from Mecca

00:02:58.270 --> 00:03:02.099
and migrate to Medina.

00:03:02.379 --> 00:03:07.379
The migration of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, continued.

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:10.819
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:14.819
from al-Bara' bin 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:20.819
"The first of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to reach us

00:03:20.819 --> 00:03:23.819
were Mus'ab bin 'Umayr and Ibn Umm Maktum.

00:03:23.819 --> 00:03:26.819
They began teaching us the Qur'an.

00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:30.819
Then came 'Ammar, Bilal, and Sa'd.

00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:34.099
Then came 'Umar bin al-Khattab with twenty others,"

00:03:34.099 --> 00:03:39.259
meaning twenty of the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:03:39.259 --> 00:03:43.259
Ibn Ishaq narrated in the Prophetic biography with a sound chain of narration

00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:47.259
from 'Umar bin al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:51.259
"When we intended to migrate to Medina, I made an appointment,"

00:03:51.259 --> 00:03:55.259
meaning I made an appointment with 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah

00:03:55.259 --> 00:03:58.259
and Hisham bin al-'As bin Wa'il al-Sahmi,

00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:02.259
at al-Tanadub, by the watering hole of Banu Ghifar above Saraf.

00:04:02.259 --> 00:04:06.259
An "ada'ah" is a pool of water collected from a flood or otherwise.

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:11.259
"We said: 'Whoever of us does not arrive there by morning has been detained,

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:14.259
so the other two should proceed.' He said:

00:04:14.259 --> 00:04:18.259
'I and 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah arrived by morning

00:04:18.259 --> 00:04:21.259
at al-Tanadub, but Hisham was detained from us,

00:04:21.259 --> 00:04:26.060
and he was put to trial, so he succumbed.'"

00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:29.060
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, seeks permission

00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:32.339
to migrate. Ibn Ishaq said:

00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:35.339
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:04:35.339 --> 00:04:40.339
would often ask the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, for permission

00:04:40.339 --> 00:04:45.339
to migrate, and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would say to him:

00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:50.339
"Do not be hasty; perhaps Allah will provide you with a companion."

00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:53.339
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, hoped

00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:56.339
that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:04:56.339 --> 00:04:59.569
would be that companion.

00:04:59.569 --> 00:05:02.569
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

00:05:02.569 --> 00:05:05.569
from the Mother of the Believers, 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,

00:05:05.569 --> 00:05:08.569
who said: "Those who migrated

00:05:08.569 --> 00:05:10.569
to Medina did so,

00:05:10.569 --> 00:05:12.569
and most of those who had migrated

00:05:12.569 --> 00:05:15.569
to the land of Abyssinia returned to Medina.

00:05:15.569 --> 00:05:18.569
Abu Bakr also prepared to leave for Medina,

00:05:18.569 --> 00:05:22.569
but the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to him:

00:05:22.569 --> 00:05:24.569
'Wait,

00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:27.569
for I hope that permission will be granted to me.'

00:05:27.569 --> 00:05:30.569
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:33.569
'Do you hope for that? May my father be sacrificed for you!'

00:05:33.569 --> 00:05:36.569
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:05:36.569 --> 00:05:38.569
'Yes.'

00:05:38.569 --> 00:05:43.569
So Abu Bakr restrained himself for the sake of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:05:43.569 --> 00:05:45.569
to accompany him,

00:05:45.569 --> 00:05:48.569
and he fed two she-camels he had with acacia leaves,

00:05:48.569 --> 00:05:50.569
which is the 'khabt' [fodder],

00:05:50.569 --> 00:05:52.569
for four months."

00:05:52.569 --> 00:05:57.050
A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography.

00:05:57.050 --> 00:06:04.050
The longing of the worlds for one another has grown,

00:06:04.050 --> 00:06:11.050
for the longing toward you has no fathomable end.

00:06:11.050 --> 00:06:17.300
May Allah send blessings upon you whenever the call to prayer is raised,

00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:26.230
and whenever lips move with the remainder of the remembrance.
