00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:35.049

00:00:35.049 --> 00:00:38.049
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih:

00:00:43.049 --> 00:00:48.049
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was asked about fasting on Mondays.

00:00:48.049 --> 00:00:52.049
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, replied:

00:00:52.049 --> 00:00:56.049
"It is the day I was born, and the day revelation descended upon me."

00:00:56.049 --> 00:01:00.049
There is a difference of opinion regarding the specific Monday of Rabi' al-Awwal

00:01:00.549 --> 00:01:05.049
on which the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was born.

00:01:05.049 --> 00:01:10.549
The majority hold that it was the twelfth of Rabi' al-Awwal.

00:01:10.549 --> 00:01:14.049
Ibn Ishaq confined himself to this date in his Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:01:14.049 --> 00:01:18.049

00:01:21.549 --> 00:01:27.049

00:01:27.049 --> 00:01:34.049
Al-Hakim narrated in al-Mustadrak with a hasan chain on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:01:34.049 --> 00:01:39.049
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was born in the Year of the Elephant.

00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:46.049
Aminah bint Wahb nursed her son, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, for a few days.

00:01:46.049 --> 00:01:49.049
She had little milk.

00:01:49.049 --> 00:01:53.049
Then, Thuwaybah, the freed slave of Abu Lahab, nursed him.

00:01:53.049 --> 00:01:57.049
This was before Halimah al-Sa'diyyah arrived.

00:01:57.049 --> 00:02:00.079
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections:

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.579
On the authority of Umm Habibah bint Abi Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with her:

00:02:04.579 --> 00:02:08.580
She said to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him:

00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:13.580
"We have heard that you intend to marry the daughter of Abu Salamah."

00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:16.580
He, peace be upon him, asked:

00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:18.580
"The daughter of Umm Salamah?"

00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:20.580
I said, "Yes."

00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:24.580
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:29.580
"Even if she were not my stepdaughter under my guardianship, she would not be lawful for me."

00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:32.580
"She is the daughter of my brother through nursing."

00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:36.580
"Thuwaybah nursed both me and Abu Salamah."

00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:41.580

If the longing of the worlds for one another grows long,

00:03:06.830 --> 00:03:12.830
The longing for you, O Messenger of Allah, has no limit.

00:03:12.830 --> 00:03:19.439
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:28.590
And as long as lips move in remembrance of the Eternal.
