00:00:01.419 --> 00:00:07.419
The story of the Hajj of our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:16.449
Arrival in Makkah and circumambulation of the House.

00:00:16.449 --> 00:00:22.449
The Hajj caravan reached Makkah on the morning of Sunday, the fourth of Dhu al-Hijjah.

00:00:22.449 --> 00:00:29.449
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and his Companions performed the circumambulation of the Sacred House and the sa‘i between Safa and Marwah.

00:00:29.449 --> 00:00:33.539
Jabir Ibn ‘Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, said:

00:00:33.539 --> 00:00:39.539
We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and we entered into the state of ihram for Hajj.

00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:43.539
We arrived in Makkah on the fourth of Dhu al-Hijjah.

00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:50.539
The Prophet, peace be upon him, commanded us to circumambulate the House and perform sa‘i between Safa and Marwah.

00:00:50.539 --> 00:00:56.539
He ordered us to convert it into an ‘Umrah and exit the state of ihram, except for those who had the sacrificial animal with them.

00:00:56.539 --> 00:01:00.799
Our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says:

00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:07.799
The Prophet, peace be upon him, arrived and circumambulated the House and performed the sa‘i between Safa and Marwah.

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.799
He did not exit the state of ihram because he had the sacrificial animal with him.

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.799
Those of his wives and Companions who had the animal with them also circumambulated.

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.799
The Prophet, peace be upon him, commanded those who had not brought the sacrificial animal to exit the state of ihram.

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.799
So, those who had not brought the animal exited the state of ihram.

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.799
His wives had not brought the sacrificial animal, so they exited the state of ihram.

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.859
The narration of our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, indicates:

00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:38.859
That all the wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him, had circumambulated the House.

00:01:38.859 --> 00:01:44.930
And that none of them were prevented from doing so before ‘Arafah except for her, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:47.930
She did not circumambulate the House due to her menses.

00:01:47.930 --> 00:01:52.019
Our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:55.019
I began my menses, so I did not circumambulate the House.

00:01:56.019 --> 00:02:00.019
This means that a woman in the state of ihram for Hajj or ‘Umrah:

00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:07.019
If she arrives in Makkah, she should hasten to circumambulate the House before anything prevents her.

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:18.939
Some believe that a menstruating woman can perform sa‘i between Safa and Marwah.

00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:22.939
Because Safa and Marwah are outside the Sacred Mosque.

00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:28.939
This is correct if she had circumambulated the House while pure and then began her menses.

00:02:28.939 --> 00:02:31.939
However, if she arrives in Makkah while menstruating:

00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:37.939
She must wait until she is pure and should not perform sa‘i between Safa and Marwah.

00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:42.939
As happened to our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, during her Hajj.

00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:45.939
For she began her menses before entering Makkah.

00:02:45.939 --> 00:02:49.039
She, may Allah be pleased with her, says:

00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.039
I arrived in Makkah while I was menstruating.

00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:56.039
I did not circumambulate the House nor perform sa‘i between Safa and Marwah.

00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.039
She did not circumambulate the House:

00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:03.039
In compliance with the command of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.039
When he said to her:

00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.039
"Perform all the rites that a pilgrim performs,"

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.169
"Except that you do not circumambulate the House until you have performed ghusl."

00:03:12.169 --> 00:03:16.169
The hadith is explicit in forbidding a menstruating woman from circumambulation.

00:03:16.169 --> 00:03:21.419
Until her bleeding ceases and she performs ghusl.

00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:24.419
A woman’s consideration for her husband’s feelings.

00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:28.960
After the Prophet, peace be upon him, had circumambulated:

00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.960
And his Companions had circumambulated the House and performed sa‘i between Safa and Marwah.

00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.960
He commanded those who had not brought the sacrificial animal:

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.960
To exit their state of ihram and convert it into an ‘Umrah.

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.960
The reason for this is that they were following the custom of the Arabs during the Jahiliyyah:

00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.960
They would not combine ‘Umrah with Hajj during the Hajj season.

00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.960
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, wanted:

00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.960
To abolish the practices of the Jahiliyyah.

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.090
And to establish the rulings of Islam.

00:03:56.090 --> 00:03:59.090
Our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says:

00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:03.090
We went out with the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:06.090
And we thought of nothing but Hajj.

00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.090
When we arrived in Makkah,

00:04:08.090 --> 00:04:10.090
We circumambulated the House.

00:04:10.090 --> 00:04:13.180
Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, commanded:

00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:17.180
Those who had not brought the sacrificial animal to exit the state of ihram.

00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:20.180
So those who had not brought the animal exited the state of ihram.

00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:23.180
And his wives had not brought the sacrificial animal,

00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:24.180
So they exited the state of ihram.

00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:29.949
The Companions did not initially comply with the command of the Prophet, peace be upon him:

00:04:29.949 --> 00:04:32.949
To convert it into an ‘Umrah at the beginning.

00:04:32.949 --> 00:04:35.949
Rather, they said, "We are heading to Mina,"

00:04:35.949 --> 00:04:39.019
"While our private parts are dripping [with semen]."

00:04:39.019 --> 00:04:42.019
This reached the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:44.019
So he said:

00:04:44.019 --> 00:04:47.019
"If I had known beforehand what I know now,"

00:04:47.019 --> 00:04:49.050
"I would not have brought the sacrificial animal."

00:04:49.050 --> 00:04:52.050
"And were it not for the fact that I have the animal with me, I would have exited the state of ihram."

00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:57.269
This statement from the Prophet, peace be upon him, to his Companions:

00:04:57.269 --> 00:05:02.269
Explains the reason for his refraining from exiting his state of ihram.

00:05:02.269 --> 00:05:08.339
This shows us the importance of practical example in guiding people.

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:12.339
For the guidance issued by the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:15.339
Was different from the reality of his own actions.

00:05:15.339 --> 00:05:18.339
He commanded them to exit their state of ihram,

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:20.339
While he himself did not.

00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:23.339
That is why they hesitated to perform this action.

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:25.339
So he explained to them the reason for his refraining,

00:05:25.339 --> 00:05:27.339
Which was the bringing of the sacrificial animal.

00:05:27.339 --> 00:05:31.339
This reminds us of what happened after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah:

00:05:31.339 --> 00:05:36.339
When he commanded them to exit their state of ihram and shave their heads,

00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:38.339
And they did not do so,

00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:43.339
Until he began the action himself, as suggested to him by the Mother of the Believers,

00:05:43.339 --> 00:05:46.339
Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her.

00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:53.850
The Prophet, peace be upon him, entered upon our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, while he was angry.

00:05:53.850 --> 00:05:55.850
She said:

00:05:55.850 --> 00:05:59.850
"Who has angered you, O Messenger of Allah? May Allah cast him into the Fire."

00:05:59.850 --> 00:06:01.879
He said:

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.879
"Do you not realize that I commanded the people to do something,"

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.879
"And they are hesitating?"

00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.879
"If I had known beforehand what I know now,"

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.879
"I would not have brought the sacrificial animal with me; I would have bought it and then exited the state of ihram as they did."

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.939
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was angry:

00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:21.939
Because of the violation of the sanctity of the Shari‘ah,

00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:24.939
And their hesitation in accepting his ruling.

00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:32.230
Out of the love of our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, for our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:06:32.230 --> 00:06:36.230
She invoked evil upon the one who angered him when she saw him angry.

00:06:36.230 --> 00:06:41.230
The Prophet, peace be upon him, did not object to her action,

00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:45.230
Because she was in accordance with the Shari‘ah in this act.

00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:50.230
Whoever angers our Prophet or harms him, we invoke [Allah's justice] against them.

00:06:50.230 --> 00:06:55.230
We do so just as our Mother ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, did,

00:06:55.230 --> 00:07:00.230
In defense of Allah and His Messenger, peace be upon him.

00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:02.420
And you, noble sister,

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:05.420
Be attentive to the feelings of your husband.

00:07:05.420 --> 00:07:07.420
Be a source of comfort to him,

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:09.420
And do not be a burden upon him.

00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:15.420
Your husband might come to you distressed over something that happened to him outside the house.

00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:18.420
Do not immediately cast blame upon him,

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:21.420
Until you know the reason for his state.

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:24.420
Then treat it with wisdom.

00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:28.420
Especially if the husband responds to his wife’s interaction,

00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:33.420
And shares with her the troubles and pains he experiences outside the house,

00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:35.420
Whether it is in his da‘wah work,

00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:38.420
Or in any of the affairs of this world.
