1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,399 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:12,949 Muhammad, the Messenger. 3 00:00:12,949 --> 00:00:17,550 A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah). 4 00:00:19,730 --> 00:00:25,949 The incident of the opening of his noble chest, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 5 00:00:25,949 --> 00:00:33,149 While the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was playing with the boys in the desert of Banu Sa'd, 6 00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:38,350 Jibril, peace be upon him, came to him accompanied by another angel. 7 00:00:38,350 --> 00:00:41,219 He opened his noble chest. 8 00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:43,719 Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad, 9 00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:47,820 and al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak, with a chain of narration supported by corroborating evidence, 10 00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:51,219 from 'Utbah Ibn 'Abd al-Sulami, who said: 11 00:00:51,219 --> 00:00:55,619 A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him: 12 00:00:55,619 --> 00:00:59,350 "How did your affair first begin, O Messenger of Allah?" 13 00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:03,149 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, replied: 14 00:01:03,149 --> 00:01:06,549 "My foster mother was from the tribe of Banu Sa'd Ibn Bakr. 15 00:01:06,549 --> 00:01:10,150 I went out with a son of hers to tend to our livestock, 16 00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:12,750 and we did not take any provisions with us. 17 00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:14,549 I said to my brother, 18 00:01:14,549 --> 00:01:18,250 'Go and bring us some provisions from our mother.' 19 00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:19,950 My brother left, 20 00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:22,349 and I remained with the livestock. 21 00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:26,349 Then two white birds appeared, looking like eagles. 22 00:01:26,349 --> 00:01:28,849 One said to the other, 23 00:01:28,849 --> 00:01:30,250 'Is it him?' 24 00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:31,849 He replied, 'Yes.' 25 00:01:31,849 --> 00:01:34,150 They rushed toward me, 26 00:01:34,150 --> 00:01:37,450 seized me, and laid me flat on my back. 27 00:01:37,450 --> 00:01:39,349 They opened my abdomen, 28 00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:42,549 then extracted my heart and split it open. 29 00:01:42,549 --> 00:01:46,150 They removed two black clots from it. 30 00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:48,650 One said to the other, 31 00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:49,650 'Wash it.' 32 00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:51,549 Meaning, clean it. 33 00:01:51,549 --> 00:01:55,650 So he washed it and sealed it with the seal of prophethood. 34 00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:58,549 Then they left and departed, leaving me behind. 35 00:01:58,549 --> 00:02:01,349 I was struck with intense fear. 36 00:02:01,349 --> 00:02:03,250 I then went to my mother, 37 00:02:03,250 --> 00:02:05,950 and told her what I had encountered. 38 00:02:05,950 --> 00:02:09,349 She feared that I might have been afflicted by something. 39 00:02:09,349 --> 00:02:10,349 She said, 40 00:02:10,349 --> 00:02:12,349 'I seek refuge in Allah for you.' 41 00:02:12,349 --> 00:02:14,550 She prepared a camel for me, 42 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:16,449 placed me upon the saddle, 43 00:02:16,449 --> 00:02:18,250 and rode behind me 44 00:02:18,250 --> 00:02:20,949 until we reached my mother [Aminah]. 45 00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:22,050 She said, 46 00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:25,050 'I have fulfilled my trust and my responsibility.' 47 00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:27,550 I told her what I had encountered, 48 00:02:27,550 --> 00:02:29,550 but it did not alarm her. 49 00:02:29,550 --> 00:02:30,849 She said, 50 00:02:30,849 --> 00:02:33,550 'I saw a light emerge from me, 51 00:02:33,550 --> 00:02:36,710 which illuminated the palaces of al-Sham.' 52 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:39,610 Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih, 53 00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:43,310 from Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 54 00:02:43,310 --> 00:02:47,110 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 55 00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:49,409 was visited by Jibril, peace be upon him, 56 00:02:49,409 --> 00:02:51,909 while he was playing with the boys. 57 00:02:51,909 --> 00:02:53,909 He took him and laid him down, 58 00:02:53,909 --> 00:02:55,710 then opened his chest to reach his heart. 59 00:02:55,710 --> 00:02:57,710 He extracted the heart, 60 00:02:57,710 --> 00:02:59,909 and removed a clot from it. 61 00:02:59,909 --> 00:03:01,110 He said, 62 00:03:01,110 --> 00:03:04,210 'This was the portion of Shaytan in you.' 63 00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:08,810 Then he washed it in a golden basin with Zamzam water, 64 00:03:08,810 --> 00:03:12,610 then restored it and returned it to its place. 65 00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:15,610 The boys came running to his mother, 66 00:03:15,610 --> 00:03:17,210 meaning his foster mother, 67 00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:18,509 and said, 68 00:03:18,509 --> 00:03:21,210 'Muhammad has been killed!' 69 00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:24,409 They went to meet him, and he was pale. 70 00:03:24,409 --> 00:03:27,009 Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 71 00:03:27,009 --> 00:03:30,810 'I used to see the mark of that stitching on his chest.' 72 00:03:32,930 --> 00:03:37,379 A Summary of the Prophetic biography

00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:16,149 and as long as the rest remains, 79 00:04:16,149 --> 00:04:17,750 healing.
