3
00:00:10,189 --> 00:00:12,750
The story of the annulment of the boycott document.

4
00:00:14,669 --> 00:00:16,750
After three years had passed,

5
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:18,870
this document was annulled.

6
00:00:19,190 --> 00:00:21,629
The one who ignited the spark of its annulment

7
00:00:21,629 --> 00:00:24,550
was a man called Hisham ibn 'Amr,

8
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:26,629
from the tribe of Banu 'Amir ibn Lu'ayy.

9
00:00:26,829 --> 00:00:30,629
This man used to secretly support the Banu Hashim while they were in the valley,

10
00:00:30,629 --> 00:00:33,270
and would deliver some food to them.

11
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:36,469
He went to Zuhayr ibn Abi Umayyah,

12
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:41,109
and Zuhayr’s mother was 'Atikah bint 'Abd al-Muttalib;

13
00:00:41,109 --> 00:00:44,990
thus, he was the cousin of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

14
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:46,350
He said to him,

15
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:47,630
"O Zuhayr,

16
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:51,310
are you content to eat food and drink water,

17
00:00:51,310 --> 00:00:53,950
while your maternal uncles are in the state you know?"

18
00:00:53,950 --> 00:00:55,310
He replied,

19
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:56,350
"Woe to you!

20
00:00:56,350 --> 00:00:59,310
What can I do when I am but one man?

21
00:00:59,310 --> 00:01:03,070
By Allah, if I had another man with me, I would act."

22
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:04,310
He said,

23
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:06,829
"I have found another man for you."

24
00:01:06,829 --> 00:01:08,390
He asked, "Who?"

25
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:09,989
He replied, "I am."

26
00:01:09,989 --> 00:01:11,750
Zuhayr said to him,

27
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:14,390
"Find us a third man."

28
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:18,150
So Hisham ibn 'Amr went to al-Mut'im ibn 'Adi,

29
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:20,909
and al-Mut'im was from the Banu al-Muttalib.

30
00:01:20,909 --> 00:01:25,670
He approached him and reminded him of the kinship ties between the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib,

31
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:30,430
and reproached him for agreeing with the Quraysh on this injustice.

32
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:32,030
Al-Mut'im said,

33
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:33,150
"Woe to you!

34
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:34,870
What can I do?

35
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:37,670
I am but one man."

36
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:38,629
He said,

37
00:01:38,629 --> 00:01:40,709
"I have found a second."

38
00:01:40,709 --> 00:01:42,150
He asked, "Who is he?"

39
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:43,670
He replied, "I am."

40
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:44,590
He said,

41
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:46,629
"Find us a third."

42
00:01:46,629 --> 00:01:48,269
He said, "I have."

43
00:01:48,269 --> 00:01:49,709
He asked, "Who?"

44
00:01:49,709 --> 00:01:50,709
He said,

45
00:01:50,709 --> 00:01:53,189
"Zuhayr ibn Abi Umayyah."

46
00:01:53,189 --> 00:01:54,269
He said,

47
00:01:54,269 --> 00:01:56,349
"Find us a fourth."

48
00:01:56,349 --> 00:02:00,670
So Hisham ibn 'Amr went to Abu al-Bakhtari ibn Hisham,

49
00:02:00,709 --> 00:02:04,629
and said to him something similar to what he had said to al-Mut'im.

50
00:02:04,629 --> 00:02:05,870
He asked,

51
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:08,789
"Is there anyone to assist in this?"

52
00:02:08,789 --> 00:02:10,229
He said, "Yes."

53
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:11,830
He asked, "Who is he?"

54
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:14,150
He said, "Zuhayr ibn Abi Umayyah,

55
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:15,949
and al-Mut'im ibn 'Adi,

56
00:02:15,949 --> 00:02:17,729
and I am with you."

57
00:02:17,729 --> 00:02:18,689
He said,

58
00:02:18,689 --> 00:02:20,810
"Find us a fifth."

59
00:02:20,810 --> 00:02:25,729
This shows us that many people were not satisfied with this situation,

60
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:28,490
but it was the authority of the powerful.

61
00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:31,610
The decision was made by Abu Jahl, 'Utbah,

62
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:34,050
Abu Sufyan, Abu Lahab,

63
00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:37,530
al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah, Umayyah ibn Khalaf,

64
00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:40,770
'Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt, and others.

65
00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:42,889
They made this decision,

66
00:02:42,889 --> 00:02:46,509
and everyone else was expected to listen and obey.

67
00:02:46,509 --> 00:02:51,509
So Hisham ibn 'Amr went to Zam'ah ibn al-Aswad ibn al-Muttalib,

68
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:56,629
who is said to be the father of Sawdah bint Zam'ah, the Mother of the Believers.

69
00:02:56,669 --> 00:03:00,789
He spoke to him and reminded him of their kinship and their rights.

70
00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:02,750
Zam'ah asked him,

71
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:07,270
"Is there anyone else involved in this matter you are inviting me to?"

72
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:08,710
He said, "Yes."

73
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:10,150
He asked, "Who?"

74
00:03:10,150 --> 00:03:13,310
He said, "Zuhayr ibn Abi Umayyah,

75
00:03:13,310 --> 00:03:15,229
al-Mut'im ibn 'Adi,

76
00:03:15,229 --> 00:03:17,669
Abu al-Bakhtari ibn Hisham,

77
00:03:17,669 --> 00:03:19,069
and I."

78
00:03:19,069 --> 00:03:21,389
Zam'ah ibn al-Aswad said,

79
00:03:21,389 --> 00:03:23,349
"And I am with you."

80
00:03:23,389 --> 00:03:27,750
They gathered and pledged to work toward annulling the document.

81
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:29,270
But how?

82
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:32,629
The leaders of Quraysh were the ones who wrote it,

83
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:35,469
and they were the ones who agreed upon it.

84
00:03:35,469 --> 00:03:40,550
How could these five men annul that document?

85
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:42,069
Zuhayr said,

86
00:03:42,069 --> 00:03:43,590
"I will begin for you,

87
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:46,229
and I will be the first to speak."

88
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:48,590
They agreed to that.

89
00:03:48,590 --> 00:03:50,189
When morning came,

90
00:03:50,189 --> 00:03:53,189
they went to their gathering places around the Ka'bah.

91
00:03:53,229 --> 00:03:56,629
Zuhayr went and performed tawaf around the House seven times,

92
00:03:56,629 --> 00:03:59,469
then he turned to the people and said,

93
00:03:59,469 --> 00:04:01,270
"O people of Makkah,

94
00:04:01,270 --> 00:04:04,349
shall we eat food and wear clothes,

95
00:04:04,349 --> 00:04:09,389
while the Banu Hashim are perishing, neither buying nor selling?

96
00:04:09,389 --> 00:04:15,389
By Allah, I will not sit down until this oppressive and severing document is torn up."

97
00:04:15,389 --> 00:04:17,910
Abu Jahl stood up and said,

98
00:04:17,910 --> 00:04:21,069
"You lie, by Allah! It shall not be torn up."

99
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:23,589
At this point, Zam'ah ibn al-Aswad stood up

100
00:04:23,589 --> 00:04:25,430
and said to Abu Jahl,

101
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:27,589
"You, by Allah, are the bigger liar!

102
00:04:27,589 --> 00:04:31,149
We were not pleased with its writing when it was written."

103
00:04:31,149 --> 00:04:33,750
Abu al-Bakhtari stood up and said,

104
00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:35,269
"Zam'ah is telling the truth.

105
00:04:35,269 --> 00:04:39,139
We are not pleased with what is written in it, nor do we acknowledge it."

106
00:04:39,139 --> 00:04:42,139
Al-Mut'im ibn 'Adi stood up and said,

107
00:04:42,139 --> 00:04:45,740
"You both speak the truth, and whoever says otherwise is a liar.

108
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:49,699
We disavow before Allah what is in it and what was written in it."

109
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:52,620
Hisham ibn 'Amr stood up and said,

110
00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:55,939
"You speak the truth, and whoever says otherwise is a liar.

111
00:04:55,939 --> 00:04:58,720
We disavow it before Allah."

112
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,639
When these five spoke in this manner before all the people,

113
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,319
Abu Jahl said,

114
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:08,959
"This is a matter that was decided upon overnight,

115
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:12,399
and consulted upon somewhere other than this place."

116
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:16,000
Abu Talib was present, and he said,

117
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,240
"Allah has informed His Messenger about the matter of the document.

118
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,680
My nephew has told me that Allah sent the termites upon it,

119
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,959
and they consumed everything in it that contained injustice, severance of ties, and oppression,

120
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:31,360
except for that which contained the name of Allah.

121
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,439
If my nephew is truthful, then end this boycott,

122
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:40,680
and if he is a liar, we will leave him to you."

123
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,769
They said, "You have spoken fairly."

124
00:05:42,769 --> 00:05:45,930
Al-Mut'im ibn 'Adi went to the document,

125
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:48,129
and found that it had been consumed,

126
00:05:48,129 --> 00:05:50,730
with nothing remaining except for their phrase:

127
00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:52,689
"In Your name, O Allah."

128
00:05:52,689 --> 00:05:56,709
Everything else had been consumed.

129
00:05:56,709 --> 00:06:00,029
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, returned,

130
00:06:00,029 --> 00:06:03,910
and those with him returned to Makkah once again.

131
00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:11,300
Treasures of the Prophetic biography.

132
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:16,050
Returning to the call.

133
00:06:16,089 --> 00:06:18,730
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, returned

134
00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:23,569
once again to calling people to Allah, the Blessed and Exalted.

135
00:06:23,569 --> 00:06:26,209
The disbelievers of Quraysh could not bear it,

136
00:06:26,209 --> 00:06:29,930
and they went to Abu Talib, saying to him,

137
00:06:29,930 --> 00:06:33,089
"Make your nephew hold his tongue."

138
00:06:33,089 --> 00:06:37,569
Abu Talib came, and a group of Quraysh came with him,

139
00:06:37,569 --> 00:06:42,089
and they spoke to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saying,

140
00:06:42,089 --> 00:06:44,290
"What do you want from us?

141
00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:47,769
We want a word you can give,

142
00:06:47,769 --> 00:06:49,649
by which you would rule over the Arabs,

143
00:06:49,649 --> 00:06:52,370
and the non-Arabs would submit to you."

144
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:54,250
They said, "A word."

145
00:06:54,250 --> 00:06:56,079
He said, "A word."

146
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:58,519
Abu Jahl stood up and said,

147
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:01,899
"By your father, I will give you a hundred words!"

148
00:07:01,899 --> 00:07:05,220
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,

149
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:08,339
"Say: There is no god but Allah."

150
00:07:08,339 --> 00:07:10,060
Abu Jahl said,

151
00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:12,540
"As for this, no.

152
00:07:12,579 --> 00:07:16,060
We will never give you this word.

153
00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:21,100
Do you want to make the gods into one God, O Muhammad?"

154
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:24,420
Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, revealed:

155
00:07:24,420 --> 00:07:28,139
Ṣād.

156
00:07:28,139 --> 00:07:30,420
By the Qur'an, full of reminder.

157
00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:35,540
“Nay, but those who disbelieve are in false pride and schism.” (38:2)

158
00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:40,220
How many generations did We destroy before them?

159
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:44,060
They cried out, but it was not the time for escape.

160
00:07:44,060 --> 00:07:50,180
“And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan.” (38:4)

161
00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:55,819
“And they marvel that a warner from among themselves hath come unto them, and the disbelievers say: This is a wizard, a charlatan.” (38:4)

162
00:07:55,819 --> 00:08:00,300
“Maketh he the gods One Allah? Lo! that is an astounding thing.” (38:5)

163
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:04,500
“Maketh he the gods One Allah? Lo! that is an astounding thing.” (38:5)

164
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:10,939
And the leaders among them went forth, saying, "Go on, and remain patient to your gods."

165
00:08:10,939 --> 00:08:15,579
“The chiefs among them go about, exhorting: Go and be staunch to your gods! Lo! this is a thing designed.” (38:6)

166
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:19,740
“We have not heard of this in later religion. This is naught but an invention.” (38:7)

167
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:23,810
“We have not heard of this in later religion. This is naught but an invention.” (38:7)

168
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:29,170
We see that the disbelievers of Makkah refrained from saying "There is no god but Allah."

169
00:08:29,170 --> 00:08:33,330
Why did they not say to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

170
00:08:33,330 --> 00:08:35,570
"There is no god but Allah,"

171
00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:40,450
and then continue in the religion they were already following?

172
00:08:40,490 --> 00:08:44,850
Because Abu Jahl, 'Utbah, 'Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt,

173
00:08:44,850 --> 00:08:48,009
al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah, Abu Lahab,

174
00:08:48,009 --> 00:08:49,889
and many others,

175
00:08:49,889 --> 00:08:55,289
all of them knew with absolute certainty the meaning of "There is no god but Allah."

176
00:08:55,289 --> 00:08:58,970
Millions of Muslims now in our time

177
00:08:58,970 --> 00:09:02,210
do not know the meaning of this word.

178
00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:06,809
Abu Jahl knew that if he said "There is no god but Allah,"

179
00:09:06,809 --> 00:09:09,090
he would be committed to it,

180
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:12,049
he would abandon all idols,

181
00:09:12,049 --> 00:09:14,450
he would not call upon anyone but Allah,

182
00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:16,809
he would not sacrifice except for Allah,

183
00:09:16,809 --> 00:09:19,289
he would not make vows except to Allah,

184
00:09:19,289 --> 00:09:21,649
he would not fear anyone but Allah,

185
00:09:21,649 --> 00:09:24,210
he would not seek aid from anyone but Allah,

186
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:26,730
he would not pray except to Allah,

187
00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:29,250
he would not perform tawaf except for Allah,

188
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:32,450
and he would not obey anyone except Allah and His Messenger.

189
00:09:32,450 --> 00:09:36,289
He knew what this word entailed.

190
00:09:36,289 --> 00:09:39,250
But many Muslims now

191
00:09:39,250 --> 00:09:42,250
say "There is no god but Allah,"

192
00:09:42,250 --> 00:09:45,169
yet they sacrifice for other than Allah,

193
00:09:45,169 --> 00:09:47,289
they make vows to other than Allah,

194
00:09:47,289 --> 00:09:49,649
they fear other than Allah,

195
00:09:49,649 --> 00:09:52,129
they seek aid from other than Allah,

196
00:09:52,129 --> 00:09:55,809
and they ask of other than Allah, the Blessed and Exalted.

197
00:09:55,809 --> 00:09:59,669
This is all due to ignorance.

198
00:09:59,669 --> 00:10:06,019
Treasures of the Prophetic biography.

199
00:10:06,019 --> 00:10:10,820
The death of Abu Talib.

200
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:14,539
Quraysh left the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, alone

201
00:10:14,539 --> 00:10:16,620
for a period of time.

202
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:19,299
Then came the death of Abu Talib,

203
00:10:19,299 --> 00:10:22,940
the uncle of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

204
00:10:22,940 --> 00:10:25,860
in the tenth year of the Prophethood,

205
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:30,000
six months after they left the valley.

206
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,600
On the authority of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib,

207
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,720
From his father, al-Musayyib, may Allah be pleased with him:

208
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,200
When Abu Talib was on his deathbed,

209
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,799
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, entered upon him,

210
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:43,480
While Abu Jahl was with him,

211
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,419
As well as ‘Abdullah Ibn Abi Umayyah.

212
00:10:46,419 --> 00:10:49,419
The Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said

213
00:10:49,419 --> 00:10:51,740
To his uncle, Abu Talib:

214
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:52,980
"O my uncle,

215
00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:55,539
Say: 'There is no god but Allah,'

216
00:10:55,539 --> 00:10:59,299
A word by which I may plead for you before Allah."

217
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,600
Abu Jahl said,

218
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,259
And ‘Abdullah Ibn Abi Umayyah:

219
00:11:03,259 --> 00:11:05,120
"O Abu Talib,

220
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,159
Will you turn away from the creed of ‘Abd al-Muttalib?"

221
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:13,360
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, repeated it to him, and they both repeated their words.

222
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:17,000
The Prophet kept repeating it, and they kept repeating theirs,

223
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:21,279
Until he said his final word:

224
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,159
"He is upon the creed of ‘Abd al-Muttalib."

225
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:26,559
Then he died after that.

226
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,120
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

227
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:33,639
"I will surely seek forgiveness for you as long as I am not forbidden from doing so."

228
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,200
Then the word of Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, was revealed:

229
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:44,399
“It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of hell-fire.” (9:113)

230
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:47,000
"Even if they were near of kin."

231
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:49,799
"Even if they were near of kin."

232
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:56,000
“It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of hell-fire.” (9:113)

233
00:11:56,799 --> 00:12:00,639
And that was revealed as the word of Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He:

234
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,759
“Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.” (28:56)

235
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:10,840
"But Allah guides whom He wills."

236
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:15,360
There are many benefits to be derived from this story,

237
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,120
Among them is that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

238
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,200
Was deeply eager for Abu Talib to embrace Islam.

239
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,080
By Allah, had Abu Talib said that word,

240
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:27,200
It would have benefited him.

241
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,080
This is because it is established from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

242
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,200
That he visited a Jewish boy

243
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,039
While he was on his deathbed,

244
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,279
And said to him, "Say: 'There is no god but Allah.'"

245
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,000
The boy turned to his father,

246
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,000
And his father said to him, "Obey Abu al-Qasim."

247
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,120
So the boy said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

248
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,519
And that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," then he died.

249
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,240
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, went out

250
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,360
Saying, "Praise be to Allah who saved him from the Fire."

251
00:13:07,330 --> 00:13:09,730
By Allah, had Abu Talib said it,

252
00:13:10,169 --> 00:13:12,129
Allah would have saved him from the Fire.

253
00:13:12,889 --> 00:13:17,610
By Allah, we all wished that Abu Talib had said it,

254
00:13:18,289 --> 00:13:20,409
And by Allah, we would never have been saddened,

255
00:13:20,649 --> 00:13:24,009
And we would never be saddened if Abu Talib had believed.

256
00:13:24,610 --> 00:13:27,370
We wish for all people to believe,

257
00:13:27,809 --> 00:13:29,850
But we must adhere to the texts,

258
00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:35,730
Which state that Abu Talib, the uncle of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did not embrace Islam,

259
00:13:36,330 --> 00:13:38,889
Even though he supported him, defended him,

260
00:13:39,289 --> 00:13:41,889
Protected him, and went out with him to the mountain pass (al-Shi‘b).

261
00:13:42,529 --> 00:13:44,250
Indeed, he even raised him in his youth.

262
00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:47,769
Yet, despite all this, he died in a state of polytheism.

263
00:13:48,659 --> 00:13:50,700
Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

264
00:13:51,419 --> 00:13:58,340
"Abu Talib used to prevent people from harming the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and his Companions

265
00:13:58,779 --> 00:14:03,659
With everything he could, through his actions, his words, his own self, and his wealth."

266
00:14:04,220 --> 00:14:05,620
But despite this,

267
00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:09,779
Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, did not decree faith for him,

268
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:16,460
Due to His, the Exalted's, profound wisdom and His decisive, conclusive, and overwhelming argument,

269
00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:20,379
Which must be believed in and submitted to.

270
00:14:21,019 --> 00:14:25,139
And were it not for what Allah forbade us regarding seeking forgiveness for the polytheists,

271
00:14:25,580 --> 00:14:29,460
We would have sought forgiveness for Abu Talib and prayed for mercy upon him.

272
00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:32,460
The strange thing about this matter

273
00:14:33,019 --> 00:14:35,139
Is that ‘Abdullah Ibn Abi Umayyah,

274
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:43,259
Who joined Abu Jahl in preventing Abu Talib from responding to the command of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

275
00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:45,299
Embraced Islam in the year of the Conquest (of Makkah),

276
00:14:45,860 --> 00:14:48,460
And it is mentioned that he was martyred at Hunayn.

277
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:51,940
It is established that al-‘Abbas Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib

278
00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:55,379
Said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

279
00:14:55,940 --> 00:14:57,659
"What have you availed your uncle?"

280
00:14:58,220 --> 00:14:59,419
Meaning Abu Talib,

281
00:15:00,019 --> 00:15:02,899
"For he used to protect you and become angry on your behalf."

282
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:06,629
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

283
00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:09,669
"He is in a shallow depth of the Fire.

284
00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:11,350
Were it not for me,

285
00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:14,710
He would have been in the lowest depths of the Fire."

286
00:15:15,490 --> 00:15:19,529
We ask Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, for guidance and well-being.

287
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,320
After the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was saddened by the death of his uncle Abu Talib,

288
00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:40,759
The second shock came to him

289
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,440
With the news of the death of Khadijah, the Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her.

290
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:49,679
She passed away months after his uncle Abu Talib.

291
00:15:50,580 --> 00:15:54,740
It is established from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said:

292
00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:59,580
Jibril came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and said:

293
00:16:00,179 --> 00:16:01,419
"O Messenger of Allah,

294
00:16:01,940 --> 00:16:04,179
This is Khadijah who has come,

295
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:09,059
Carrying a vessel containing stew, food, or drink.

296
00:16:09,740 --> 00:16:11,179
When she reaches you,

297
00:16:11,740 --> 00:16:14,460
Convey to her the greeting of peace from her Lord,

298
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:18,340
And give her glad tidings of a house in Paradise made of hollowed pearls,

299
00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:21,500
Where there is neither noise nor fatigue."
