00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:03.660
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:13.179
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:13.179 --> 00:00:17.739
An Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah),

00:00:17.739 --> 00:00:22.899
Authored by Sheikh Musa Rashid al-Azimi,

00:00:22.899 --> 00:00:25.059
May Allah preserve him.

00:00:25.059 --> 00:00:32.460
The Farewell Pilgrimage.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:34.460
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:

00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:37.820
"There is no scholarly disagreement that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:39.820
Never performed Hajj after his emigration

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:41.020
To Medina

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.020
Except for a single Hajj,

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:45.020
Which was the Farewell Pilgrimage;

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:47.020
Nor is there any dispute that it

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:49.179
Took place in the tenth year of the Hijrah."

00:00:49.179 --> 00:00:51.179
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) recorded in their Sahihs

00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:53.179
On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam,

00:00:53.179 --> 00:00:55.179
May Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:57.179
"The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:57.179 --> 00:00:59.179
Took part in nineteen

00:00:59.179 --> 00:01:01.179
Military expeditions,

00:01:01.179 --> 00:01:03.179
And he performed Hajj after he had emigrated

00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:05.739
Only once, never performing another after it:

00:01:05.739 --> 00:01:07.739
The Farewell Pilgrimage."

00:01:07.739 --> 00:01:10.129
Imam al-Nawawi stated:

00:01:10.129 --> 00:01:12.129
"Its meaning is that

00:01:12.129 --> 00:01:14.129
After the Hijrah, he did not perform Hajj

00:01:14.129 --> 00:01:16.129
Except for a single pilgrimage,

00:01:16.129 --> 00:01:18.129
Which was the Farewell Pilgrimage

00:01:18.129 --> 00:01:20.129
In the tenth year of the Hijrah."

00:01:20.129 --> 00:01:22.260
The two Shaykhs also recorded

00:01:22.260 --> 00:01:24.260
In their Sahihs

00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:26.260
On the authority of Qatadah, who said:

00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:28.260
"I asked Anas: 'How many times did

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:30.260
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, perform Hajj?'

00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:32.260
He replied:

00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:34.939
'Only one Hajj.'"

00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:36.939
Imam al-Sindi commented:

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:38.939
"His inquiry, 'How many times did he perform Hajj?',

00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:40.980
Refers to after the Hijrah."

00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:42.980
I say: and that was

00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:45.040
The Farewell Pilgrimage.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.040
The author notes in the margin:

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.040
Imam al-Nawawi said

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.040
In his commentary on Sahih Muslim:

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.040
"It was named thus—

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.040
That is, the Farewell Pilgrimage—

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.040
Because the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.040
Bade farewell to the people during it,

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.040
Instructed them in his sermon,

00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.599
And enjoined upon them the transmission of

00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.599
Sacred law proclaimed therein

00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.599
To those who were absent from it;

00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.599
For the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.599
Be upon him, declared:

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.599
'Let those present among you convey it

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:18.000
To those who are absent.'"

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Announcing the Hajj of the Prophet,

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.000
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to the People.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.699
When

00:02:24.699 --> 00:02:26.699
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah

00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:28.699
Be upon him, resolved to perform Hajj,

00:02:28.699 --> 00:02:30.699
He informed the people that he intended to make the pilgrimage,

00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:32.699
Prompting them to prepare for departure.

00:02:33.259 --> 00:02:35.259
Those dwelling around Medina heard of this,

00:02:35.259 --> 00:02:37.259
And arrived eagerly wishing to perform Hajj

00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:39.259
Alongside the Messenger of Allah,

00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:41.259
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:02:41.259 --> 00:02:43.259
Multitudes joined him along the route,

00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:45.259
In numbers that could not be counted,

00:02:45.259 --> 00:02:47.259
Stretching before him,

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:49.259
Behind him,

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:51.259
And to his right and left,

00:02:51.259 --> 00:02:53.360
As far as the eye could see.

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.360
Imam Muslim recorded

00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.360
In his Sahih

00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.360
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah,

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.360
May Allah be pleased with both of them, who said:

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.360
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.360
Remained in Medina for nine years

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.360
Without performing Hajj.

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.360
Then, in the tenth year, it was announced among the people

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.360
That the Messenger of Allah,

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.360
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was going for Hajj.

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.360
Thereupon, a great multitude

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.360
Of people arrived in Medina,

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.360
All of them seeking

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.360
To follow the lead of the Messenger of Allah,

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.360
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.460
And emulate his rituals."

00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:27.460
Jabir continued: "I looked ahead,

00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:29.460
And as far as the eye could see before him,

00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:31.460
There were riders and pedestrians;

00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:33.460
And likewise to his right,

00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:35.460
Likewise to his left,

00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:37.460
And likewise behind him."

00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:39.550
In the narration of Imam al-Nasa'i

00:03:39.550 --> 00:03:41.550
In al-Sunan al-Kubra,

00:03:41.550 --> 00:03:43.550
With an authentic chain of transmission,

00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:45.550
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah,

00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:47.550
May Allah be pleased with both of them, he said:

00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:49.550
"No one remained

00:03:49.550 --> 00:03:51.550
Who was capable of coming,

00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:53.550
Whether riding or on foot,

00:03:53.550 --> 00:03:57.789
But had arrived."

00:03:57.789 --> 00:03:59.789
The Departure of the Prophet, Peace and Blessings of Allah Be upon Him,

00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:01.789
From Medina.

00:04:01.789 --> 00:04:05.460
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, set out

00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:07.460
From the City of the Prophet (Medina)

00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:09.460
Heading toward Mecca—

00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:11.460
May Allah ennoble it—

00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:13.460
On a Saturday,

00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:15.460
When five nights remained

00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:17.459
Of Dhu al-Qi'dah.

00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:19.459
This took place after he had prayed

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:21.459
Four rak'ahs for the Zuhr prayer in Medina.

00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:23.459
The two Shaykhs recorded

00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:25.459
In their Sahihs

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:27.459
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,

00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:29.459
Who said:

00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:31.459
"We set out with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:33.459
When five nights remained

00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:35.459
Of Dhu al-Qi'dah,

00:04:35.459 --> 00:04:37.459
Envisaging nothing other than Hajj."

00:04:37.459 --> 00:04:39.709
Ibn Ishaq relied upon

00:04:39.709 --> 00:04:41.709
The account of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,

00:04:41.709 --> 00:04:43.709
Regarding the date of

00:04:43.709 --> 00:04:45.709
The departure of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:04:45.709 --> 00:04:47.709
From Medina,

00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:49.779
And did not adopt any other view.

00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:51.779
Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih

00:04:51.779 --> 00:04:53.779
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas,

00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:55.779
May Allah be pleased with both of them, who said:

00:04:55.779 --> 00:04:57.779
"The Prophet,

00:04:57.779 --> 00:04:59.779
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, set out from Medina

00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:01.779
After he had combed his hair,

00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:03.779
Applied oil,

00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:05.779
And donned his waist-wrapper and upper cloak,

00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:07.779
He and his Companions.

00:05:07.779 --> 00:05:09.779
He did not forbid any type

00:05:09.779 --> 00:05:11.779
Of cloak or waist-wrapper from being worn

00:05:11.779 --> 00:05:13.779
Except those dyed with saffron,

00:05:13.779 --> 00:05:15.779
Which leave marks on the skin"—

00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:17.779
Meaning whose dye rubs off

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:19.810
Onto the body, staining it

00:05:19.810 --> 00:05:21.810
With its color.

00:05:21.810 --> 00:05:23.810
"By morning, he reached Dhu al-Hulayfah,

00:05:23.810 --> 00:05:25.810
Mounted his riding-camel until

00:05:25.810 --> 00:05:27.810
He and his Companions entered the state of ihram,

00:05:27.810 --> 00:05:29.810
And marked his sacrificial camel with a garland;

00:05:29.810 --> 00:05:31.810
And that was when five nights remained

00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:33.810
Of Dhu al-Qi'dah."

00:05:33.810 --> 00:05:37.949
The Departure of the Prophet's Wives,

00:05:37.949 --> 00:05:39.949
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:05:39.949 --> 00:05:43.139
Along with Him.

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:45.139
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, set out

00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:47.139
Accompanied by all of his wives,

00:05:47.139 --> 00:05:49.139
May Allah be pleased with them.

00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:51.139
Imam Ahmad recorded

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:53.139
In his Musnad with a good (hasan) chain of transmission

00:05:53.139 --> 00:05:55.139
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah,

00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.139
May Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:05:57.139 --> 00:05:59.139
"The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:01.139
Said to his wives

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:03.139
In the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage:

00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:05.170
'This is the pilgrimage for you,

00:06:05.170 --> 00:06:07.170
And after it you must remain upon the mats of your homes.'"

00:06:07.170 --> 00:06:09.230
The author notes in the margin:

00:06:09.230 --> 00:06:11.230
Ibn al-Athir stated

00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:13.230
In al-Nihayah:

00:06:13.230 --> 00:06:15.230
"That is, you should not venture

00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:17.230
Out of your houses again,

00:06:17.230 --> 00:06:19.230
But rather keep to the mats (husur),

00:06:19.230 --> 00:06:21.230
Which is the plural of hasir:

00:06:21.230 --> 00:06:23.230
The woven reed mat spread out in homes."

00:06:23.230 --> 00:06:25.230
Al-Sindi remarked in his commentary:

00:06:25.230 --> 00:06:27.230
"Perhaps what was meant by this

00:06:27.230 --> 00:06:29.230
Was to comfort their hearts

00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:31.230
Regarding foregoing Hajj thereafter

00:06:31.230 --> 00:06:33.230
If it proved too difficult to undertake,

00:06:33.230 --> 00:06:35.230
Or that it was permissible for them to forgo it,

00:06:35.230 --> 00:06:37.230
Not that they were strictly forbidden from performing Hajj;

00:06:37.230 --> 00:06:39.230
For it is firmly established that they performed Hajj after his death,

00:06:39.230 --> 00:06:41.300
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."

00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:43.300
I say:

00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:45.300
'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, granted them permission to perform Hajj

00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:47.300
During his caliphate,

00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:49.300
In the final Hajj

00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:51.300
That he himself performed,

00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:53.579
As recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari.

00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:55.579
It was reported that all of them

00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:57.579
Used to perform Hajj,

00:06:57.579 --> 00:06:59.579
Except Zaynab bint Jahsh

00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:01.579
And Sawdah bint Zam'ah,

00:07:01.579 --> 00:07:03.579
Who both used to say:

00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:05.579
"By Allah, no riding-beast shall ever

00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:07.579
Carry us again after we heard

00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:09.579
That instruction from the Prophet,

00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:11.579
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."

00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:15.790
The route of the Prophet,

00:07:15.790 --> 00:07:17.790
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:07:17.790 --> 00:07:19.790
to the miqat of Dhu al-Hulayfah

00:07:19.790 --> 00:07:21.790
and his entering into ihram.

00:07:21.790 --> 00:07:24.430
The Messenger of Allah,

00:07:24.430 --> 00:07:26.430
peace be upon him, set out

00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:28.430
toward the miqat of Dhu al-Hulayfah,

00:07:28.430 --> 00:07:30.430
taking the route of al-Shajarah,

00:07:30.430 --> 00:07:32.430
until he reached it

00:07:32.430 --> 00:07:34.430
before praying the 'Asr prayer.

00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:36.430
He prayed it there shortened to two rak'ahs,

00:07:36.430 --> 00:07:38.430
and then stayed overnight there

00:07:38.430 --> 00:07:40.430
until morning came.

00:07:40.430 --> 00:07:42.430
He prayed Maghrib, 'Isha',

00:07:42.430 --> 00:07:44.430
Fajr, and Zuhr there;

00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:46.430
thus he performed at Dhu al-Hulayfah

00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:48.529
five prayers in total.

00:07:48.529 --> 00:07:50.529
The two Shaykhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their Sahihs

00:07:50.529 --> 00:07:52.529
from Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both,

00:07:52.529 --> 00:07:54.529
who said:

00:07:54.529 --> 00:07:56.529
"The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:07:56.529 --> 00:07:58.529
used to leave by way of

00:07:58.529 --> 00:08:00.529
al-Shajarah and enter [back]

00:08:00.529 --> 00:08:02.529
by way of al-Mu'arras."

00:08:02.529 --> 00:08:04.689
And the two Shaykhs narrated in their Sahihs

00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:06.689
from Anas ibn Malik,

00:08:06.689 --> 00:08:08.689
may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:08:08.689 --> 00:08:10.689
"The Messenger of Allah,

00:08:10.689 --> 00:08:12.689
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prayed

00:08:12.689 --> 00:08:14.689
— while we were with him in Medina —

00:08:14.689 --> 00:08:16.689
four rak'ahs for Zuhr,

00:08:16.689 --> 00:08:18.689
and two rak'ahs for 'Asr at Dhu al-Hulayfah.

00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:20.689
Then he stayed the night

00:08:20.689 --> 00:08:22.910
until morning."

00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:24.910
And Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:08:24.910 --> 00:08:26.910
from Ibn 'Abbas,

00:08:26.910 --> 00:08:28.910
may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:08:28.910 --> 00:08:30.910
"The Messenger of Allah,

00:08:30.910 --> 00:08:32.909
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:08:32.909 --> 00:08:34.909
prayed Zuhr at Dhu al-Hulayfah."

00:08:34.909 --> 00:08:37.169
And the Messenger of Allah,

00:08:37.169 --> 00:08:39.169
peace be upon him,

00:08:39.169 --> 00:08:41.169
went round that night to his wives,

00:08:41.169 --> 00:08:43.169
all nine of them, may Allah be pleased with them.

00:08:43.169 --> 00:08:45.169
For indeed, the two Shaykhs narrated

00:08:45.169 --> 00:08:47.169
in their Sahihs

00:08:47.169 --> 00:08:49.169
from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,

00:08:49.169 --> 00:08:51.169
that she said: "I perfumed the Messenger of Allah,

00:08:51.169 --> 00:08:53.169
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him;

00:08:53.169 --> 00:08:55.169
then he went round among his wives,

00:08:55.169 --> 00:08:57.169
and in the morning entered

00:08:57.169 --> 00:08:59.299
the state of ihram."

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:01.299
And there came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:09:01.299 --> 00:09:03.299
during that night,

00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:05.299
a visitor sent from his Lord, Glorified is He,

00:09:05.299 --> 00:09:07.299
in that very place —

00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:09.299
which is the valley of al-'Aqiq —

00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:11.299
conveying an order from his Lord,

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:13.299
Glorified is He, that he declare

00:09:13.299 --> 00:09:15.299
in this pilgrimage of his:

00:09:15.299 --> 00:09:17.460
"An 'Umrah within a Hajj."

00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:19.460
For indeed, Imam al-Bukhari narrated

00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:21.460
in his Sahih

00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:23.460
from 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:25.460
"I heard the Prophet,

00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:27.460
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:29.460
saying in the valley of al-'Aqiq:

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:31.460
'A visitor came to me tonight

00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:33.460
from my Lord and said:

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:35.460
"Pray in this blessed

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:37.460
valley, and say:

00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:39.460
'An 'Umrah within a Hajj.'"'"

00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:41.679
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.679
"What is apparent is that

00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.679
his being commanded, peace be upon him,

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.679
to pray in the valley of al-'Aqiq

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.679
was a command to remain

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:51.679
there until he had prayed

00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.679
the Zuhr prayer,

00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.679
because the command only came to him

00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.679
at night, and he informed them of it

00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.679
after the Fajr prayer.

00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.679
Thus, none remained except the Zuhr prayer,

00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.679
so he was commanded to pray it

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.679
there and to enter

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.679
ihram immediately after it."

00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.220
An abridgment

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:12.220
of the Prophetic biography (Seerah):

00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:14.220
"If the yearning

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:16.220
of people

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:18.220
for one another grows long,

00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:22.259
the yearning toward you

00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:24.259
has bounds that cannot be measured.

00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:28.830
May Allah send blessings

00:10:28.830 --> 00:10:30.830
upon you whenever the call [to prayer]

00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:32.830
is raised,

00:10:32.830 --> 00:10:34.990
and whenever lips

00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:36.990
move in praise

00:10:39.730 --> 00:10:41.730
of the Everlasting."
