WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.139
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:07.139 --> 00:00:09.199
With pens of longing,

00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.740
And the ink of love,

00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:15.869
We record lines more precious than gold,

00:00:15.869 --> 00:00:17.870
Describing the Master of Creation,

00:00:17.870 --> 00:00:20.870
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:20.870 --> 00:00:30.600
The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il).

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.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.299
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

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."

00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:50.509
In this hadith,

00:00:50.509 --> 00:00:55.509
The noble Companion Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, informs us

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.

00:01:01.509 --> 00:01:05.510
The *qabi'ah* is the part located at the end of the sword's hilt,

00:01:05.510 --> 00:01:08.540
To prevent the hand from slipping.

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:11.540
Al-Khattabi said: The *qabi'ah* of the sword

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:15.670
Is the knob that sits atop the hilt.

00:01:15.670 --> 00:01:18.670
Mentioning that it was made of silver

00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:24.829
Indicates the permissibility of decorating swords and similar war implements with silver.

00:01:24.829 --> 00:01:27.829
Ibn Qudamah, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:01:27.829 --> 00:01:30.829
"There is no harm in a sword's pommel being made of silver,"

00:01:30.829 --> 00:01:34.829
Based on what Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated:

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."

00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:42.900
Hisham Ibn 'Urwah also said:

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.900
"The sword of Al-Zubayr was decorated with silver;

00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:47.959
I saw it myself."

00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.959
However, it is recorded in Sunan Ibn Majah

00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.959
On the authority of Sulayman Ibn Habib, who said:

00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.959
"We visited Abu Umamah,

00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.959
And he saw some silver decoration on our swords,

00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:01.959
So he became angry and said:

00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.959
'A people have achieved conquests

00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.959
Whose sword decorations were not of gold or silver,

00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.960
But of lead, iron, and raw leather.'"

00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:18.020
Meaning, their sword decorations were made of lead, iron, and untreated hides.

00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:23.310
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, may Allah have mercy on him, said regarding this hadith:

00:02:23.310 --> 00:02:29.310
"Decorating swords and other war implements with materials other than silver and gold is preferable."

00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:32.310
Those who permitted it responded

00:02:32.310 --> 00:02:35.310
By stating that decorating swords with gold and silver

00:02:35.310 --> 00:02:38.310
Was only legislated to strike fear into the enemy.

00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:42.310
The Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:02:42.310 --> 00:02:44.310
Had no need for that,

00:02:44.310 --> 00:02:49.310
Due to their own inner fortitude and the strength of their faith.

00:02:49.310 --> 00:02:53.659
One may reconcile the hadith of the chapter, which permits it,

00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:56.659
Specifically regarding the sword's pommel being of silver,

00:02:56.659 --> 00:02:59.659
With this hadith of Abu Umamah,

00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:02.659
By noting that Abu Umamah, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:07.659
Only disapproved of them when he saw them being excessive in this matter,

00:03:07.659 --> 00:03:11.659
As that might have distracted them from their jihad.

00:03:11.659 --> 00:03:15.659
This does not necessitate a prohibition of the aforementioned concession.

00:03:15.659 --> 00:03:19.229
To complete the benefit,

00:03:19.229 --> 00:03:22.229
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:03:22.229 --> 00:03:27.229
The Prophet, peace be upon him, had nine swords:

00:03:27.229 --> 00:03:32.229
*Ma'thur*, which was the first sword he owned, inherited from his father;

00:03:32.229 --> 00:03:36.229
*Al-'Adb*, *Dhu al-Fiqar*, *Al-Qal'i*,

00:03:36.229 --> 00:03:43.229
*Al-Battar*, *Al-Hatf*, *Al-Rasub*, *Al-Mikhdam*, and *Al-Qadib*.

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.

00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:58.199
Armor (*dir'*) is a garment made of iron rings,

00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:03.199
Worn like a shirt to protect the fighter, by the permission of Allah,

00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.199
And to shield him from arrows, sword strikes, or the like.

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:

00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:18.860
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, wore two sets of armor on the day of Uhud.

00:04:18.860 --> 00:04:22.860
He attempted to rise to a rock but could not,

00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:24.860
So he had Talhah sit beneath him,

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:28.860
And the Prophet, peace be upon him, climbed upon him

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:31.860
Until he stood firmly on the rock."

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:36.930
He said: "I heard the Prophet, peace be upon him, say:

00:04:36.930 --> 00:04:38.930
'Talhah has made [Paradise] necessary [for himself].'"

00:04:38.930 --> 00:04:42.250
And on the authority of Al-Sa'ib Ibn Yazid, may Allah be pleased with him:

00:04:42.250 --> 00:04:46.250
That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:49.250
Wore two sets of armor on the day of Uhud,

00:04:49.250 --> 00:04:52.250
Having layered one over the other.

00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:55.370
From these two hadiths,

00:04:55.370 --> 00:04:58.370
We learn that the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:04:59.370 --> 00:05:03.370
Wore two sets of armor during the Battle of Uhud,

00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:06.370
One over the other.

00:05:06.370 --> 00:05:10.370
This provides additional protection and safety,

00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:13.399
And this does not contradict reliance upon Allah (tawakkul).

00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.399
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.399
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was

00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.399
The greatest of those who relied upon Allah,

00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.399
Yet he would wear his armor and coat of mail.

00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.399
Indeed, on the day of Uhud, he layered two sets of armor,

00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.399
And he hid in the cave for three days.

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.399
Thus, he relied upon Allah while utilizing the means,

00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.399
Not relying upon the means themselves.

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:35.589
His saying:

00:05:35.589 --> 00:05:38.589
"He attempted to rise to a rock but could not,"

00:05:38.589 --> 00:05:42.589
Means he stood up, heading toward the rock that was there,

00:05:42.589 --> 00:05:44.589
To stand upon it,

00:05:44.589 --> 00:05:46.589
To overlook his Companions,

00:05:46.589 --> 00:05:49.589
And to see the state of affairs.

00:05:49.589 --> 00:05:53.589
His inability, peace be upon him,

00:05:53.589 --> 00:05:55.589
To rise onto the rock

00:05:55.589 --> 00:05:58.589
Was either due to its height and elevation,

00:05:58.589 --> 00:06:00.589
Or due to the weight of the two sets of armor

00:06:00.589 --> 00:06:02.589
That he was wearing,

00:06:02.589 --> 00:06:05.589
Or because of the injuries he sustained

00:06:05.589 --> 00:06:07.589
In the Battle of Uhud.

00:06:07.589 --> 00:06:09.779
And his saying:

00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:11.779
"He had Talhah sit beneath him,"

00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:14.779
Means he requested Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:16.779
To sit beneath him

00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:17.779
So that he could lean on him

00:06:17.779 --> 00:06:20.779
And be able to climb onto the rock.

00:06:20.779 --> 00:06:21.779
And his saying:

00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:23.779
"Talhah has made [Paradise] necessary,"

00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:26.779
Means he performed an act that made Paradise incumbent for him,

00:06:26.779 --> 00:06:29.779
For he risked his own life on the day of Uhud,

00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:34.779
And sacrificed it for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:06:34.779 --> 00:06:37.740
To complete the benefit,

00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:40.740
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:43.740
The Prophet, peace be upon him, had

00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:45.740
Seven sets of armor:

00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:46.740
*Dhat al-Fudul*,

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:50.740
Which he pledged to Abu al-Shahm the Jew

00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:52.740
In exchange for barley for his family,

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:55.740
Amounting to thirty *sa's*,

00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:57.740
And the debt was for one year.

00:06:57.740 --> 00:07:00.740
The armor was made of iron.

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:02.810
*Dhat al-Wishah*,

00:07:02.810 --> 00:07:04.810
*Dhat al-Hawashi*,

00:07:04.810 --> 00:07:06.810
*Al-Sa'diyyah*,

00:07:06.810 --> 00:07:07.810
*Fiddah*,

00:07:07.810 --> 00:07:08.810
*Al-Batra'*,

00:07:08.810 --> 00:07:10.810
And *Al-Kharanq*.

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.

00:07:20.850 --> 00:07:22.939
The helmet (*mighfar*),

00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:23.939
The helmet,

00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:27.939
Is what a fighter wears over his head, like a helmet,

00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:29.939
Made of iron,

00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:34.939
To protect the head from arrows, sword strikes, and the like.

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:40.149
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him:

00:07:40.149 --> 00:07:45.149
That the Prophet, peace be upon him, entered Makkah wearing a helmet.

00:07:45.149 --> 00:07:47.149
It was said to him:

00:07:47.149 --> 00:07:51.149
"This is Ibn Khatal, clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah."

00:07:51.149 --> 00:07:52.149
He said:

00:07:52.149 --> 00:07:54.149
"Kill him."

00:07:54.149 --> 00:07:56.310
And on the authority of Ibn Shihab,

00:07:56.310 --> 00:07:59.310
From Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him:

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,

00:08:04.310 --> 00:08:07.310
With a helmet on his head.

00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:08.310
He said:

00:08:08.310 --> 00:08:12.310
"When he removed it, a man came to him and said:

00:08:12.310 --> 00:08:16.310
'Ibn Khatal is clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah.'"

00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:17.310
He said:

00:08:17.310 --> 00:08:19.379
"Kill him."

00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:20.379
Ibn Shihab said:

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."

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:34.009
Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, informs us in this hadith

00:08:34.009 --> 00:08:40.009
That the Prophet, peace be upon him, entered Makkah with a helmet on his head.

00:08:40.009 --> 00:08:43.009
A man came to him and said:

00:08:43.009 --> 00:08:47.009
"This is Ibn Khatal, clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah."

00:08:47.009 --> 00:08:51.009
So the Prophet, peace be upon him, ordered his execution,

00:08:51.009 --> 00:08:55.009
And Abu Barzah al-Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him, killed him.

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).

00:08:58.009 --> 00:09:00.139
Ibn Khatal

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,

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:11.139
Ordering them to be killed wherever they were found, in the sacred territory or outside it.

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:14.139
This Ibn Khatal had accepted Islam,

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.

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:26.139
While on the journey, Ibn Khatal killed his Ansari companion,

00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:29.139
Then apostatized and went to Makkah,

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.

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:41.139
He took two singing girls who would sing songs satirizing the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:44.139
And insulting him and his Companions.

00:09:44.139 --> 00:09:49.139
So on the day of the Conquest, he, peace be upon him, declared his blood permissible.

00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:52.460
And his saying:

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,"

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.

00:10:04.490 --> 00:10:09.679
It is derived from this that whoever intends to enter Makkah for a need

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.679
Is not required to wear ihram.

00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:19.679
Rather, wearing ihram is only required for those intending to enter Makkah for Hajj or 'Umrah.

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.960
To complete the benefit,

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.960
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.960
The Prophet, peace be upon him, had an iron helmet

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:32.960
Called *Al-Muwashshah*,

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:38.990
And another helmet called *Al-Sabuh* or *Dhu al-Sabuh*.

00:10:38.990 --> 00:10:43.049
The hadith continues, if Allah wills.

00:10:44.049 --> 00:10:46.049
And Allah knows best.

00:10:46.049 --> 00:10:49.049
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad,

00:10:49.049 --> 00:10:53.049
And upon all his family and Companions.
