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 is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:12,949 --> 00:00:20,600
A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography.

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,539
A point of benefit regarding the naming of Abu Lahab.

5
00:00:25,539 --> 00:00:27,739
Imam al-Qurtubi said:

6
00:00:27,739 --> 00:00:30,339
Allah only gave him the kunya (agnomen) of Abu Lahab [Father of Flame].

7
00:00:30,339 --> 00:00:32,340
There are four reasons for this:

8
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:33,740
The first:

9
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:36,539
His name was 'Abd al-'Uzza.

10
00:00:36,539 --> 00:00:38,140
Al-'Uzza is an idol.

11
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:42,859
Allah does not attribute servitude in His Book to an idol.

12
00:00:42,859 --> 00:00:44,259
The second:

13
00:00:44,259 --> 00:00:47,859
He was better known by his kunya than by his given name.

14
00:00:47,859 --> 00:00:49,460
Thus, it was explicitly used.

15
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:50,859
The third:

16
00:00:50,859 --> 00:00:53,460
A proper name is more honorable than a kunya.

17
00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:55,259
So Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, demoted him

18
00:00:55,259 --> 00:00:57,460
from the honorable to the inferior,

19
00:00:57,460 --> 00:01:00,460
since it was necessary to speak of him.

20
00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:04,659
For this reason, Allah, the Exalted, called the prophets by their names,

21
00:01:04,659 --> 00:01:07,459
and never used a kunya for any of them.

22
00:01:07,459 --> 00:01:10,659
Evidence that a proper name is more honorable than a kunya

23
00:01:10,659 --> 00:01:14,260
is that Allah, the Exalted, is called by His Names, not by a kunya.

24
00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:17,459
Even if that is due to His manifestation and clarity,

25
00:01:17,459 --> 00:01:20,060
and the impossibility of attributing a kunya to Him,

26
00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:22,459
due to His transcendence above such things.

27
00:01:22,459 --> 00:01:23,659
Fourth:

28
00:01:23,659 --> 00:01:27,260
Allah, the Exalted, intended to confirm his fate

29
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:30,659
by casting him into the Fire, making him a "father" to it,

30
00:01:30,659 --> 00:01:32,459
in fulfillment of that lineage,

31
00:01:32,459 --> 00:01:36,659
and to carry out the omen and ill-fortune he chose for himself.

32
00:01:36,659 --> 00:01:42,480
The enmity of Umm Jamil

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,209
al-'Awra [the one-eyed/the defective].

34
00:01:45,209 --> 00:01:47,409
She is Umm Jamil al-'Awra,

35
00:01:47,409 --> 00:01:49,609
the daughter of Harb ibn Umayya.

36
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:52,459
She is the wife of Abu Lahab.

37
00:01:52,459 --> 00:01:57,060
Ibn Hibban recorded in his Sahih with a chain of narration that is authentic through supporting evidence,

38
00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:00,659
on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

39
00:02:00,659 --> 00:02:02,459
When the verse was revealed:

40
00:02:02,459 --> 00:02:06,060
"May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he,"

41
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:10,860
the wife of Abu Lahab came to the Prophet, peace be upon him,

42
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:13,060
while Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, was with him.

43
00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:17,060
When Abu Bakr saw her, he said:

44
00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:18,860
"O Messenger of Allah,

45
00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:21,060
she is a foul-mouthed woman,

46
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:23,259
and I fear she may harm you.

47
00:02:23,259 --> 00:02:24,860
If only you would stand up."

48
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:28,060
The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied:

49
00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:30,259
"She will not see me."

50
00:02:30,259 --> 00:02:32,259
She arrived and said:

51
00:02:32,259 --> 00:02:33,860
"O Abu Bakr,

52
00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:36,259
your companion has satirized me."

53
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:38,060
He, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

54
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:38,860
"No,

55
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:41,159
he does not speak poetry."

56
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:42,159
She said:

57
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:44,159
"You are truthful in my eyes,"

58
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:45,759
and she left.

59
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:47,759
I asked, "O Messenger of Allah,

60
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:49,159
did she not see you?"

61
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:52,759
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, replied:

62
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:53,759
"No,

63
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,860
an angel remained shielding me from her with his wing."

64
00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:03,060
In a narration by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak with an authentic chain, if Allah wills:

65
00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:07,259
Asma' bint Abi Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them both, said:

66
00:03:07,259 --> 00:03:08,860
When the verse was revealed:

67
00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:12,460
“The power of Abu Lahab will perish, and he will perish.” (111:1)

68
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:16,060
Umm Jamil al-'Awra bint Harb approached,

69
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:19,460
wailing, with a stone in her hand,

70
00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:20,860
and she was saying:

71
00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:22,860
"We reject the one who disparages our father,

72
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:24,860
we despise his religion,

73
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:27,259
and we disobey his command."

74
00:03:27,259 --> 00:03:31,259
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was sitting in the mosque,

75
00:03:31,259 --> 00:03:33,259
with Abu Bakr beside him.

76
00:03:33,259 --> 00:03:35,460
When Abu Bakr saw her,

77
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:37,460
he said, "O Messenger of Allah,

78
00:03:37,460 --> 00:03:38,860
she has approached,

79
00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:41,259
and I fear she might see you."

80
00:03:41,259 --> 00:03:45,060
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

81
00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:47,060
"She will not see me,"

82
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:50,860
and he recited Qur'an, seeking protection through it as he said.

83
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:52,060
He recited:

84
00:03:52,060 --> 00:03:54,259
"And when you recite the Qur'an,

85
00:03:54,259 --> 00:04:00,460
“And when thou recitest the Qur'an we place between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden barrier;” (17:45)

86
00:04:00,460 --> 00:04:06,060
“And when thou recitest the Qur'an we place between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden barrier;” (17:45)

87
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:09,060
a hidden barrier."

88
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:11,460
She stood before Abu Bakr,

89
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:15,460
but did not see the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

90
00:04:15,460 --> 00:04:16,660
She said:

91
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:18,259
"O Abu Bakr,

92
00:04:18,259 --> 00:04:21,660
I have been informed that your companion has satirized me."

93
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:22,660
He replied:

94
00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:26,459
"No, by the Lord of this House, he has not satirized you."

95
00:04:26,459 --> 00:04:27,459
She turned away,

96
00:04:27,459 --> 00:04:29,459
saying:

97
00:04:29,459 --> 00:04:33,459
"Quraysh knows that I am the daughter of its master."

98
00:04:33,459 --> 00:04:35,459
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:

99
00:04:35,459 --> 00:04:39,459
It is appropriate to mention this hadith when discussing the words of the Exalted:

100
00:04:39,459 --> 00:04:41,459
"O Messenger,

101
00:04:41,459 --> 00:04:44,459
“O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.” (5:67)

102
00:04:44,459 --> 00:04:46,459
and if you do not,

103
00:04:46,459 --> 00:04:48,459
then you have not conveyed His message."

104
00:04:48,459 --> 00:04:53,459
“O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.” (5:67)

105
00:04:53,459 --> 00:04:55,459
And when discussing the words of the Exalted:

106
00:04:55,459 --> 00:04:58,459
"And when you recite the Qur'an,

107
00:04:58,459 --> 00:05:04,459
We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter

108
00:05:04,459 --> 00:05:10,459
“And when thou recitest the Qur'an we place between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden barrier;” (17:45)

109
00:05:10,459 --> 00:05:14,610
a hidden barrier."
