1 00:00:01,419 --> 00:00:07,419 The story of the Hajj of our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. 2 00:00:07,419 --> 00:00:16,660 The Mother of the Believers, Safiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, experienced menstruation during the days of Mina. 3 00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:26,579 Who among the Mothers of the Believers experienced menstruation during the Farewell Hajj, other than our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her? 4 00:00:26,579 --> 00:00:29,620 Safiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her. 5 00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:32,619 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: 6 00:00:32,619 --> 00:00:40,619 "Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, menstruated during the Farewell Hajj." 7 00:00:40,619 --> 00:00:50,810 It was from the mercy of Allah toward our mother Safiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, that her menstruation began only after she had performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah. 8 00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:53,899 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: 9 00:00:54,899 --> 00:01:03,899 "Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, menstruated during the Farewell Hajj after she had performed the Ifadah." 10 00:01:03,899 --> 00:01:13,189 Our mother ‘A’ishah did not mean that Safiyyah menstruated immediately after the Tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice. 11 00:01:13,189 --> 00:01:18,189 Rather, she meant that she had menstruated having already completed the Tawaf al-Ifadah. 12 00:01:18,189 --> 00:01:27,189 This is because the discussion regarding the possibility of the Mother of the Believers, Safiyyah, menstruating had taken place among the Mothers of the Believers before the Tawaf al-Ifadah. 13 00:01:27,189 --> 00:01:32,189 Therefore, they were concerned that she might menstruate before performing the Ifadah. 14 00:01:32,189 --> 00:01:36,219 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: 15 00:01:36,219 --> 00:01:41,219 "We were afraid that Safiyyah would menstruate before she performed the Ifadah." 16 00:01:41,219 --> 00:01:46,260 That is why our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, expressed it by saying: 17 00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:54,260 "We performed Hajj with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and we performed the Ifadah on the Day of Sacrifice, then Safiyyah menstruated." 18 00:01:54,260 --> 00:02:01,480 As for exactly when she menstruated, our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: 19 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,480 "Safiyyah bint Huyayy menstruated during the days of Mina." 20 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:14,479 The "days of Mina" refers to the Day of Sacrifice and the three days that follow it, which are the days of Tashriq. 21 00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:22,580 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, clarified to us that this occurred on the night of departure from Mina. 22 00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:25,580 This was the night of the fourteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah. 23 00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:32,580 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: "Safiyyah menstruated on the night of departure." 24 00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:40,439 So, my sister pilgrim, this is the second scenario regarding the onset of menstruation for a woman during Hajj. 25 00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:46,439 It is that she menstruates during the days of Mina after having already performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah. 26 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:50,469 In this, there is a reminder for sisters on Hajj: 27 00:02:50,469 --> 00:02:54,469 Not to delay the Tawaf al-Ifadah beyond the Day of Sacrifice, 28 00:02:54,469 --> 00:02:58,469 For fear of menstruating before having performed the Ifadah. 29 00:02:58,469 --> 00:03:05,620 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives. 30 00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:14,490 On the Day of Sacrifice, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, slaughtered one cow on behalf of his wives. 31 00:03:14,490 --> 00:03:19,490 As Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, reported. 32 00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:27,490 He said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, slaughtered a cow on behalf of his wives during his Hajj." 33 00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:34,580 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, explicitly stated that it was only one cow. 34 00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:44,580 She said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, slaughtered one cow on behalf of the family of Muhammad during the Farewell Hajj." 35 00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:49,680 She even emphasized this by denying that it could have been more than one. 36 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:58,680 She said: "Nothing was slaughtered on behalf of the family of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, during the Farewell Hajj except for one cow." 37 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:07,219 This cow was for the Hady of Tamattu‘ on behalf of those of the Prophet’s wives who had performed ‘Umrah. 38 00:04:07,219 --> 00:04:14,259 As Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 39 00:04:14,259 --> 00:04:20,259 slaughtered a cow on behalf of those of his wives who had performed ‘Umrah, shared among them." 40 00:04:20,259 --> 00:04:24,949 Preparing to leave Mina. 41 00:04:24,949 --> 00:04:32,230 When it was the night of departure from Mina, which is the last night of the days of Tashriq, 42 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:35,230 The Mother of the Believers, Safiyyah, menstruated. 43 00:04:35,230 --> 00:04:42,360 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: "Safiyyah menstruated on the night of departure." 44 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:50,459 It had been established among the Mothers of the Believers that a menstruating woman does not perform Tawaf around the House until she is pure. 45 00:04:50,459 --> 00:04:55,459 Especially after the incident involving our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. 46 00:04:55,459 --> 00:04:58,459 They still had the Farewell Tawaf (Tawaf al-Wada‘) remaining. 47 00:04:58,459 --> 00:05:06,459 So our mother Safiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, became certain that she would not be able to perform Tawaf around the House until she was pure. 48 00:05:06,459 --> 00:05:11,459 She said: "I see nothing but that I am detaining you." 49 00:05:11,459 --> 00:05:16,459 Meaning: I am preventing you from traveling and leaving Makkah until I am pure. 50 00:05:16,459 --> 00:05:22,459 She said this based on her knowledge that the Farewell Tawaf is obligatory for the pilgrim. 51 00:05:22,459 --> 00:05:31,060 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wanted to be intimate with his wives before moving out of Mina. 52 00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:35,060 He was with our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. 53 00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:41,060 When he wanted to leave her and head toward Safiyyah’s tent to be intimate with her, 54 00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:47,100 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, informed him that she had menstruated. 55 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,100 Our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: 56 00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,100 "We performed Hajj with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 57 00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:58,100 We performed the Ifadah on the Day of Sacrifice, then Safiyyah menstruated. 58 00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:04,100 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wanted from her what a man wants from his wife. 59 00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:09,100 I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, she is menstruating.' 60 00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:15,129 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, became angry, thinking she had not performed the Ifadah. 61 00:06:15,129 --> 00:06:19,129 He said: '‘Aqran halqan!' 62 00:06:19,129 --> 00:06:22,129 'I see nothing but that she is detaining us.'" 63 00:06:22,129 --> 00:06:27,129 But our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, quickly corrected him, 64 00:06:27,129 --> 00:06:30,129 And said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: 65 00:06:30,129 --> 00:06:35,129 "She has already performed the Ifadah, O Messenger of Allah, and has performed Tawaf around the House." 66 00:06:35,129 --> 00:06:42,129 When the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, left the tent of our mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 67 00:06:42,129 --> 00:06:46,129 Safiyyah was at the door of her tent, looking distressed. 68 00:06:46,129 --> 00:06:52,129 He said to her: "'Aqran halqan! You are indeed detaining us. 69 00:06:52,129 --> 00:06:55,129 Did you perform the Ifadah on the Day of Sacrifice?' 70 00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:59,129 She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then depart.'" 71 00:06:59,129 --> 00:07:03,899 As for the meaning of this phrase, ‘aqran halqan, 72 00:07:03,899 --> 00:07:07,899 Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, may Allah have mercy on him, explained it, saying: 73 00:07:07,899 --> 00:07:12,899 "His saying '‘aqran halqan'—with a fatha on both, followed by a sukun, 74 00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:15,899 and shortened without tanwin in the narration. 75 00:07:15,899 --> 00:07:20,899 It is permissible in the language to use tanwin, and Abu ‘Ubayd considered that correct, 76 00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:23,899 because its meaning is an invocation of ‘aqr (wounding/barrenness) and halq (shaving/destruction). 77 00:07:23,899 --> 00:07:26,899 Just as one says 'suqyan wa ra‘yan' (a prayer for rain and pasture), 78 00:07:26,899 --> 00:07:30,899 and similar verbal nouns used for supplication." 79 00:07:30,899 --> 00:07:33,899 According to the first view, it is a description, not a supplication. 80 00:07:33,899 --> 00:07:36,959 The meaning of ‘aqran is "may Allah cause her to be ‘aqr," 81 00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:41,959 meaning: wounded, or it is said: "may she be made barren, unable to bear children." 82 00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:44,959 It is also said: "may her people be wounded." 83 00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:49,990 The meaning of halqan is "may her hair be shaved," which is a woman’s adornment, 84 00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:52,990 or "may she be afflicted with pain in her throat." 85 00:07:52,990 --> 00:07:56,990 Or "may her people be destroyed by her misfortune." 86 00:07:56,990 --> 00:08:02,990 Al-Qurtubi mentioned that it is a phrase the Jews would say to a menstruating woman. 87 00:08:02,990 --> 00:08:05,990 This is the origin of these two words. 88 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:07,990 Then the Arabs expanded their usage, 89 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:10,990 without intending their literal meanings, 90 00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:13,990 just as they said: "May Allah fight him," 91 00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:16,990 "May his hands be covered in dust," and so on. 92 00:08:16,990 --> 00:08:19,990 What caused the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 93 00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:22,990 to be angry with our mother Safiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, 94 00:08:22,990 --> 00:08:25,990 and to rebuke her with this expression, 95 00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:28,990 was his perception, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 96 00:08:28,990 --> 00:08:30,990 that she had not performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah. 97 00:08:30,990 --> 00:08:33,990 If that had been the case, 98 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:36,990 the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 99 00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:39,990 would have remained waiting for her until she became pure and performed Tawaf, 100 00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:42,990 and only then would he have moved to depart for Madinah. 101 00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:45,990 In this, there would have been hardship and delay 102 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:48,990 for the rest of the Companions who were with him 103 00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:51,990 in the Hajj caravan from Madinah. 104 00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:54,090 In this, O sister pilgrim, 105 00:08:54,090 --> 00:08:57,090 are lessons, admonitions, and benefits 106 00:08:57,090 --> 00:09:00,090 that will benefit you in your religion and your worldly life. 107 00:09:00,090 --> 00:09:04,090 You should understand the desire of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 108 00:09:04,090 --> 00:09:08,090 to be intimate with his wife before moving toward Madinah. 109 00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:12,090 It may happen to you, if you are on Hajj with your husband, 110 00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:16,090 that he desires to be intimate with you before moving to return. 111 00:09:16,090 --> 00:09:20,090 Do not refuse on the pretext of preparing for travel. 112 00:09:20,090 --> 00:09:24,149 You must be mindful of your actions during Hajj, 113 00:09:24,149 --> 00:09:27,149 so as not to cause harm to the pilgrims 114 00:09:27,149 --> 00:09:29,149 in one way or another, 115 00:09:29,149 --> 00:09:33,149 especially regarding the timing of movement. 116 00:09:33,149 --> 00:09:36,149 We often see that the reason for the delay 117 00:09:36,149 --> 00:09:38,149 of the pilgrims' vehicle movement 118 00:09:38,149 --> 00:09:43,149 is the woman, which causes harm and annoyance to the pilgrims. 119 00:09:43,149 --> 00:09:46,149 This may anger the husband and cause him to pray against you 120 00:09:46,149 --> 00:09:48,149 with such a supplication or similar. 121 00:09:48,149 --> 00:09:52,149 So do not bring upon yourself what harms you. 122 00:09:52,149 --> 00:09:56,250 The female pilgrim must also be mindful of the matter of menstruation, 123 00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:59,250 and not hide the matter of her menstruation from her Mahram 124 00:09:59,250 --> 00:10:01,250 or her guardian during the journey, 125 00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:04,250 only to surprise him with the news at the last moment, 126 00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:06,250 making it difficult for him to act, 127 00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:10,250 causing him distress, and leading him to be angry with her.
