1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,139 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:07,139 --> 00:00:09,199 With pens of longing, 3 00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:11,740 And the ink of love, 4 00:00:11,740 --> 00:00:15,869 We record lines more precious than gold, 5 00:00:15,869 --> 00:00:17,870 Describing the Master of Creation, 6 00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:20,870 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 7 00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:30,600 The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il). 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:36,600 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the description of the sword of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,299 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 10 00:00:41,299 --> 00:00:47,299 "The pommel (qabi'ah) of the sword of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was made of silver." 11 00:00:47,299 --> 00:00:50,509 In this hadith, 12 00:00:50,509 --> 00:00:55,509 The noble Companion Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, informs us 13 00:00:55,509 --> 00:01:01,509 That the pommel of the sword of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was made of silver. 14 00:01:01,509 --> 00:01:05,510 The *qabi'ah* is the part located at the end of the sword's hilt, 15 00:01:05,510 --> 00:01:08,540 To prevent the hand from slipping. 16 00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:11,540 Al-Khattabi said: The *qabi'ah* of the sword 17 00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:15,670 Is the knob that sits atop the hilt. 18 00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:18,670 Mentioning that it was made of silver 19 00:01:18,670 --> 00:01:24,829 Indicates the permissibility of decorating swords and similar war implements with silver. 20 00:01:24,829 --> 00:01:27,829 Ibn Qudamah, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 21 00:01:27,829 --> 00:01:30,829 "There is no harm in a sword's pommel being made of silver," 22 00:01:30,829 --> 00:01:34,829 Based on what Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated: 23 00:01:34,829 --> 00:01:40,900 "The pommel of the sword of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was made of silver." 24 00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:42,900 Hisham Ibn 'Urwah also said: 25 00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:45,900 "The sword of Al-Zubayr was decorated with silver; 26 00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:47,959 I saw it myself." 27 00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:50,959 However, it is recorded in Sunan Ibn Majah 28 00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:52,959 On the authority of Sulayman Ibn Habib, who said: 29 00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:55,959 "We visited Abu Umamah, 30 00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:59,959 And he saw some silver decoration on our swords, 31 00:01:59,959 --> 00:02:01,959 So he became angry and said: 32 00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:03,959 'A people have achieved conquests 33 00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:07,959 Whose sword decorations were not of gold or silver, 34 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:11,960 But of lead, iron, and raw leather.'" 35 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:18,020 Meaning, their sword decorations were made of lead, iron, and untreated hides. 36 00:02:18,020 --> 00:02:23,310 Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, may Allah have mercy on him, said regarding this hadith: 37 00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:29,310 "Decorating swords and other war implements with materials other than silver and gold is preferable." 38 00:02:30,310 --> 00:02:32,310 Those who permitted it responded 39 00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:35,310 By stating that decorating swords with gold and silver 40 00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:38,310 Was only legislated to strike fear into the enemy. 41 00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:42,310 The Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 42 00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:44,310 Had no need for that, 43 00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:49,310 Due to their own inner fortitude and the strength of their faith. 44 00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:53,659 One may reconcile the hadith of the chapter, which permits it, 45 00:02:53,659 --> 00:02:56,659 Specifically regarding the sword's pommel being of silver, 46 00:02:56,659 --> 00:02:59,659 With this hadith of Abu Umamah, 47 00:02:59,659 --> 00:03:02,659 By noting that Abu Umamah, may Allah be pleased with him, 48 00:03:02,659 --> 00:03:07,659 Only disapproved of them when he saw them being excessive in this matter, 49 00:03:07,659 --> 00:03:11,659 As that might have distracted them from their jihad. 50 00:03:11,659 --> 00:03:15,659 This does not necessitate a prohibition of the aforementioned concession. 51 00:03:15,659 --> 00:03:19,229 To complete the benefit, 52 00:03:19,229 --> 00:03:22,229 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 53 00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:27,229 The Prophet, peace be upon him, had nine swords: 54 00:03:27,229 --> 00:03:32,229 *Ma'thur*, which was the first sword he owned, inherited from his father; 55 00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:36,229 *Al-'Adb*, *Dhu al-Fiqar*, *Al-Qal'i*, 56 00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:43,229 *Al-Battar*, *Al-Hatf*, *Al-Rasub*, *Al-Mikhdam*, and *Al-Qadib*. 57 00:03:43,229 --> 00:03:53,180 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the description of the armor of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 58 00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:58,199 Armor (*dir'*) is a garment made of iron rings, 59 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:03,199 Worn like a shirt to protect the fighter, by the permission of Allah, 60 00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:08,199 And to shield him from arrows, sword strikes, or the like. 61 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:13,860 On the authority of Al-Zubayr Ibn al-'Awwam, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 62 00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:18,860 "The Prophet, peace be upon him, wore two sets of armor on the day of Uhud. 63 00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:22,860 He attempted to rise to a rock but could not, 64 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:24,860 So he had Talhah sit beneath him, 65 00:04:24,860 --> 00:04:28,860 And the Prophet, peace be upon him, climbed upon him 66 00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:31,860 Until he stood firmly on the rock." 67 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:36,930 He said: "I heard the Prophet, peace be upon him, say: 68 00:04:36,930 --> 00:04:38,930 'Talhah has made [Paradise] necessary [for himself].'" 69 00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:42,250 And on the authority of Al-Sa'ib Ibn Yazid, may Allah be pleased with him: 70 00:04:42,250 --> 00:04:46,250 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 71 00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:49,250 Wore two sets of armor on the day of Uhud, 72 00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:52,250 Having layered one over the other. 73 00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,370 From these two hadiths, 74 00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:58,370 We learn that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 75 00:04:59,370 --> 00:05:03,370 Wore two sets of armor during the Battle of Uhud, 76 00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:06,370 One over the other. 77 00:05:06,370 --> 00:05:10,370 This provides additional protection and safety, 78 00:05:10,370 --> 00:05:13,399 And this does not contradict reliance upon Allah (tawakkul). 79 00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:15,399 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 80 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:19,399 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was 81 00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:21,399 The greatest of those who relied upon Allah, 82 00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:24,399 Yet he would wear his armor and coat of mail. 83 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,399 Indeed, on the day of Uhud, he layered two sets of armor, 84 00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,399 And he hid in the cave for three days. 85 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,399 Thus, he relied upon Allah while utilizing the means, 86 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:34,399 Not relying upon the means themselves. 87 00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:35,589 His saying: 88 00:05:35,589 --> 00:05:38,589 "He attempted to rise to a rock but could not," 89 00:05:38,589 --> 00:05:42,589 Means he stood up, heading toward the rock that was there, 90 00:05:42,589 --> 00:05:44,589 To stand upon it, 91 00:05:44,589 --> 00:05:46,589 To overlook his Companions, 92 00:05:46,589 --> 00:05:49,589 And to see the state of affairs. 93 00:05:49,589 --> 00:05:53,589 His inability, peace be upon him, 94 00:05:53,589 --> 00:05:55,589 To rise onto the rock 95 00:05:55,589 --> 00:05:58,589 Was either due to its height and elevation, 96 00:05:58,589 --> 00:06:00,589 Or due to the weight of the two sets of armor 97 00:06:00,589 --> 00:06:02,589 That he was wearing, 98 00:06:02,589 --> 00:06:05,589 Or because of the injuries he sustained 99 00:06:05,589 --> 00:06:07,589 In the Battle of Uhud. 100 00:06:07,589 --> 00:06:09,779 And his saying: 101 00:06:09,779 --> 00:06:11,779 "He had Talhah sit beneath him," 102 00:06:11,779 --> 00:06:14,779 Means he requested Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him, 103 00:06:14,779 --> 00:06:16,779 To sit beneath him 104 00:06:16,779 --> 00:06:17,779 So that he could lean on him 105 00:06:17,779 --> 00:06:20,779 And be able to climb onto the rock. 106 00:06:20,779 --> 00:06:21,779 And his saying: 107 00:06:21,779 --> 00:06:23,779 "Talhah has made [Paradise] necessary," 108 00:06:23,779 --> 00:06:26,779 Means he performed an act that made Paradise incumbent for him, 109 00:06:26,779 --> 00:06:29,779 For he risked his own life on the day of Uhud, 110 00:06:29,779 --> 00:06:34,779 And sacrificed it for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 111 00:06:34,779 --> 00:06:37,740 To complete the benefit, 112 00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:40,740 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 113 00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:43,740 The Prophet, peace be upon him, had 114 00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:45,740 Seven sets of armor: 115 00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:46,740 *Dhat al-Fudul*, 116 00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:50,740 Which he pledged to Abu al-Shahm the Jew 117 00:06:50,740 --> 00:06:52,740 In exchange for barley for his family, 118 00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:55,740 Amounting to thirty *sa's*, 119 00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,740 And the debt was for one year. 120 00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:00,740 The armor was made of iron. 121 00:07:00,740 --> 00:07:02,810 *Dhat al-Wishah*, 122 00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:04,810 *Dhat al-Hawashi*, 123 00:07:04,810 --> 00:07:06,810 *Al-Sa'diyyah*, 124 00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:07,810 *Fiddah*, 125 00:07:07,810 --> 00:07:08,810 *Al-Batra'*, 126 00:07:08,810 --> 00:07:10,810 And *Al-Kharanq*. 127 00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:20,850 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the description of the helmet of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 128 00:07:20,850 --> 00:07:22,939 The helmet (*mighfar*), 129 00:07:22,939 --> 00:07:23,939 The helmet, 130 00:07:23,939 --> 00:07:27,939 Is what a fighter wears over his head, like a helmet, 131 00:07:27,939 --> 00:07:29,939 Made of iron, 132 00:07:29,939 --> 00:07:34,939 To protect the head from arrows, sword strikes, and the like. 133 00:07:34,939 --> 00:07:40,149 On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him: 134 00:07:40,149 --> 00:07:45,149 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, entered Makkah wearing a helmet. 135 00:07:45,149 --> 00:07:47,149 It was said to him: 136 00:07:47,149 --> 00:07:51,149 "This is Ibn Khatal, clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah." 137 00:07:51,149 --> 00:07:52,149 He said: 138 00:07:52,149 --> 00:07:54,149 "Kill him." 139 00:07:54,149 --> 00:07:56,310 And on the authority of Ibn Shihab, 140 00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:59,310 From Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him: 141 00:07:59,310 --> 00:08:04,310 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, entered Makkah in the year of the Conquest, 142 00:08:04,310 --> 00:08:07,310 With a helmet on his head. 143 00:08:07,310 --> 00:08:08,310 He said: 144 00:08:08,310 --> 00:08:12,310 "When he removed it, a man came to him and said: 145 00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:16,310 'Ibn Khatal is clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah.'" 146 00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:17,310 He said: 147 00:08:17,310 --> 00:08:19,379 "Kill him." 148 00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:20,379 Ibn Shihab said: 149 00:08:20,379 --> 00:08:27,379 "It reached me that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was not in a state of ihram that day." 150 00:08:27,379 --> 00:08:34,009 Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, informs us in this hadith 151 00:08:34,009 --> 00:08:40,009 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, entered Makkah with a helmet on his head. 152 00:08:40,009 --> 00:08:43,009 A man came to him and said: 153 00:08:43,009 --> 00:08:47,009 "This is Ibn Khatal, clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah." 154 00:08:47,009 --> 00:08:51,009 So the Prophet, peace be upon him, ordered his execution, 155 00:08:51,009 --> 00:08:55,009 And Abu Barzah al-Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him, killed him. 156 00:08:55,009 --> 00:08:58,009 He killed him between the Rukn (corner of the Ka'bah) and the Maqam (Station of Ibrahim). 157 00:08:58,009 --> 00:09:00,139 Ibn Khatal 158 00:09:00,139 --> 00:09:06,139 Was one of those whose blood the Prophet, peace be upon him, declared permissible on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, 159 00:09:06,139 --> 00:09:11,139 Ordering them to be killed wherever they were found, in the sacred territory or outside it. 160 00:09:11,139 --> 00:09:14,139 This Ibn Khatal had accepted Islam, 161 00:09:14,139 --> 00:09:20,139 Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, sent him with a man from the Ansar for a task. 162 00:09:20,139 --> 00:09:26,139 While on the journey, Ibn Khatal killed his Ansari companion, 163 00:09:26,139 --> 00:09:29,139 Then apostatized and went to Makkah, 164 00:09:29,139 --> 00:09:35,139 Where he began to satirize the Prophet, peace be upon him, and his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them. 165 00:09:35,139 --> 00:09:41,139 He took two singing girls who would sing songs satirizing the Prophet, peace be upon him, 166 00:09:41,139 --> 00:09:44,139 And insulting him and his Companions. 167 00:09:44,139 --> 00:09:49,139 So on the day of the Conquest, he, peace be upon him, declared his blood permissible. 168 00:09:50,139 --> 00:09:52,460 And his saying: 169 00:09:52,460 --> 00:09:58,460 "It reached me that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was not in a state of ihram that day," 170 00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:04,490 Means that the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not enter Makkah in a state of ihram on the day of the Conquest. 171 00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:09,679 It is derived from this that whoever intends to enter Makkah for a need 172 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,679 Is not required to wear ihram. 173 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:19,679 Rather, wearing ihram is only required for those intending to enter Makkah for Hajj or 'Umrah. 174 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,960 To complete the benefit, 175 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,960 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 176 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,960 The Prophet, peace be upon him, had an iron helmet 177 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,960 Called *Al-Muwashshah*, 178 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,990 And another helmet called *Al-Sabuh* or *Dhu al-Sabuh*. 179 00:10:38,990 --> 00:10:43,049 The hadith continues, if Allah wills. 180 00:10:44,049 --> 00:10:46,049 And Allah knows best. 181 00:10:46,049 --> 00:10:49,049 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, 182 00:10:49,049 --> 00:10:53,049 And upon all his family and Companions.
