1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:03,640
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:13,160
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,859
The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah),

4
00:00:17,859 --> 00:00:23,250
Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid al-'Azimi,

5
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:27,579
May Allah preserve him.

6
00:00:27,579 --> 00:00:31,079
The entry of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

7
00:00:31,579 --> 00:00:37,520
Into the Sacred Mosque, his circumambulation (Tawaf), and his Sa'i.

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,520
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,520
"When we arrived at the House with him,

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,520
He touched the Black Stone corner,

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,520
Then trotted rapidly for three circuits and walked for four.

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,520
He then proceeded to the Station of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,520
And recited: 'And take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.'

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,520
So he positioned the Station between himself and the House.

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,520
Ja'far said:

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520
'My father used to say—

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,519
And I know of this being related only from the Prophet (peace be upon him)—

18
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:10,519
That he would recite in those two units of prayer:

19
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:12,519
“Say: He is Allah, the One!” (112:1)

20
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:15,519
'Say: O disbelievers!' and 'Say: He is Allah, the One.'

21
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,519
He then returned to the corner and touched it.

22
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:21,519
After that, he went out through the gate to al-Safa,

23
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:24,519
And when he drew near al-Safa, he recited: 'Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah.'

24
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,519
“Lo! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the indications of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who is on pilgrimage to the House (of Allah) or visiteth it, to go around them (as the pagan custom is). And he who doeth good of his own accord, (for him) lo! Allah is Responsive, Aware.” (2:158)

25
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:30,590
Then he said:

26
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:33,590
'I begin with that which Allah began with.'

27
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:35,590
So he began with al-Safa,

28
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:38,590
Ascending it until he could see the House.

29
00:01:38,590 --> 00:01:40,590
He faced the Qiblah,

30
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:43,590
Declared the oneness of Allah, magnified Him, and said:

31
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:47,590
'There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner.

32
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,590
“All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah; unto Him belongeth Sovereignty and unto Him belongeth praise, and He is Able to do all things.” (64:1)

33
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:53,590
To Him belongs all dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things omnipotent.

34
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:56,590
There is no god but Allah alone.

35
00:01:56,590 --> 00:01:58,590
He fulfilled His promise,

36
00:01:59,590 --> 00:02:02,650
Granted victory to His servant, and defeated the confederates alone.'

37
00:02:02,650 --> 00:02:04,650
Then he supplicated in between that,

38
00:02:04,650 --> 00:02:07,650
Saying the like of this three times.

39
00:02:07,650 --> 00:02:09,650
He then descended toward al-Marwah,

40
00:02:09,650 --> 00:02:13,650
And when his feet reached the bottom of the valley, he ran briskly;

41
00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:16,650
Then, when he ascended, he walked,

42
00:02:16,650 --> 00:02:18,650
Until he reached al-Marwah.

43
00:02:18,650 --> 00:02:22,650
He then did on al-Marwah just as he had done on al-Safa."

44
00:02:22,650 --> 00:02:25,810
And the two Sheikhs recorded in their Sahih collections

45
00:02:25,810 --> 00:02:28,810
From Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said:

46
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:31,810
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) circumambulated the House

47
00:02:31,810 --> 00:02:33,810
When he arrived in Mecca;

48
00:02:33,810 --> 00:02:36,810
He touched the corner first,

49
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:39,810
Then trotted briskly for three circuits out of the seven,

50
00:02:39,810 --> 00:02:42,810
And walked for four circuits.

51
00:02:42,810 --> 00:02:45,810
Then, when he completed his circumambulation of the House,

52
00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:47,810
He prayed two units of prayer at the Station.

53
00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:50,810
He then pronounced the salutation and departed,

54
00:02:50,810 --> 00:02:52,810
Proceeded to al-Safa, and performed circumambulation at al-Safa,

55
00:02:52,810 --> 00:02:55,810
Performing seven circuits between al-Safa and al-Marwah."

56
00:02:55,810 --> 00:02:59,039
And the two Sheikhs recorded in their Sahih collections

57
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,039
From Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said:

58
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:05,039
"I never saw the Prophet (peace be upon him)

59
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:08,039
Touch any part of the House

60
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,159
Except the two Yamani corners."

61
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,159
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad,

62
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:17,159
As did Abu Dawud in his Sunan—

63
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:20,159
With the wording belonging to Ahmad, through a good chain of transmission—

64
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:24,159
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

65
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,159
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

66
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,159
Saying between the Yamani Corner and the Black Stone:

67
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:33,159
“And of them (also) is he who saith: "Our Lord! Give unto us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and guard us from the doom of Fire."” (2:201)

68
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:36,159
'Our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good,

69
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,139
And protect us from the punishment of the Fire.'"

70
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:45,139
The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded

71
00:03:45,139 --> 00:03:49,069
His Companions to exit the state of Ihram.

72
00:03:49,069 --> 00:03:52,069
When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) concluded his rites,

73
00:03:53,069 --> 00:03:56,069
He commanded everyone who did not have a sacrificial animal with them

74
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:59,069
To definitively and obligatory exit Ihram,

75
00:03:59,069 --> 00:04:02,069
Whether they were performing Qiran or Ifrad.

76
00:04:02,069 --> 00:04:05,069
He ordered them to fully exit Ihram,

77
00:04:05,069 --> 00:04:08,069
Permitting intimate relations with wives, using perfume, and wearing sewn garments,

78
00:04:08,069 --> 00:04:11,069
And to remain in that state until the Day of Tarwiyah.

79
00:04:11,069 --> 00:04:14,069
But he himself did not exit Ihram because he had brought his sacrificial animal.

80
00:04:14,069 --> 00:04:17,129
Imam Muslim recorded in his Sahih,

81
00:04:17,129 --> 00:04:20,129
And Imam Ahmad in his Musnad,

82
00:04:20,129 --> 00:04:23,129
From Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both),

83
00:04:23,129 --> 00:04:26,160
Who said: "When he was

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,160
At the end of his Sa'i atop al-Marwah,

85
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,160
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,160
'Had I known before what I came to know later,

87
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,160
I would not have brought the sacrificial animal,

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,290
And I would have made it an 'Umrah.

89
00:04:41,290 --> 00:04:44,290
So whoever among you does not have a sacrificial animal with him,

90
00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:47,449
Let him exit Ihram and make it an 'Umrah.'"

91
00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:51,449
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both),

92
00:04:51,449 --> 00:04:54,480
Who said: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded them

93
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,480
To make it an 'Umrah."

94
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,480
They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what kind of release from Ihram?"

95
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,480
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied:

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,480
"Complete release."

97
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,639
Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said:

98
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,639
"So we had intimate relations with our wives,

99
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,639
Applied perfume,

100
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,639
And put on our ordinary clothes,

101
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,639
Even though there were between us and 'Arafat

102
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:24,639
Only four nights."

103
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,639
Then Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Ju'shum (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up

104
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:30,639
While he was at the base of al-Marwah,

105
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,639
And said: "O Messenger of Allah,

106
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,680
Is this for this year of ours only, or forever?"

107
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,680
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) intertwined

108
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,680
His fingers, one into the other,

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,680
And said: "'Umrah has entered into Hajj—twice—

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680
No, rather forever and ever!"

111
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,740
In another narration in Sahih Muslim,

112
00:05:51,740 --> 00:05:54,740
From Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both),

113
00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:57,740
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

114
00:05:57,740 --> 00:06:00,740
"Indeed, 'Umrah has entered

115
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:03,740
Into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection."

116
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:06,959
The wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) also exited Ihram,

117
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:09,959
Except 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her),

118
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:12,959
For she could not exit Ihram

119
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:15,959
Because it was impossible for her to do so

120
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,959
Due to her menses.

121
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,959
The two Sheikhs recorded in their Sahih collections

122
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:24,959
From 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said:

123
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,959
"Whoever had not brought a sacrificial animal exited Ihram;

124
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:30,959
His wives had not brought animals either, so they exited Ihram."

125
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,959
She added: "But I began menstruating, so I did not circumambulate the House."

126
00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:39,459
The reason for the Companions' hesitation

127
00:06:39,459 --> 00:06:43,100
In exiting Ihram:

128
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,100
The two Sheikhs recorded in their Sahih collections

129
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:49,100
From Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said:

130
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:52,100
"They used to view performing 'Umrah during the months of Hajj

131
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,259
As among the most monstrous sins on earth."

132
00:06:55,259 --> 00:06:58,259
Imam al-Tirmidhi said in his Jami':

133
00:06:58,259 --> 00:07:01,259
"The meaning of this hadith is

134
00:07:01,259 --> 00:07:04,259
That the people of the Pre-Islamic Jahiliyyah would never perform 'Umrah

135
00:07:04,259 --> 00:07:07,259
During the months of Hajj.

136
00:07:07,259 --> 00:07:10,259
So the Prophet (peace be upon him) granted a dispensation regarding that,

137
00:07:10,259 --> 00:07:13,259
Saying: ''Umrah has entered

138
00:07:13,259 --> 00:07:16,259
Into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.'

139
00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:19,259
Meaning: there is no harm in performing 'Umrah

140
00:07:19,259 --> 00:07:22,259
During the months of Hajj. And the months of Hajj

141
00:07:22,259 --> 00:07:25,259
Are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah,

142
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:28,259
And the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah.

143
00:07:28,259 --> 00:07:31,259
A person ought not to enter Ihram for Hajj

144
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:36,689
Except during the months of Hajj."

145
00:07:37,689 --> 00:07:41,459
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) proceeded,

146
00:07:41,459 --> 00:07:44,459
After concluding his Sa'i

147
00:07:44,459 --> 00:07:47,459
Between al-Safa and al-Marwah

148
00:07:47,459 --> 00:07:50,459
And commanding the annulment of Hajj into 'Umrah

149
00:07:50,459 --> 00:07:53,459
For whoever had not brought a sacrificial animal,

150
00:07:53,459 --> 00:07:56,459
With the people accompanying him, until he encamped at al-Abtah,

151
00:07:56,459 --> 00:07:59,490
East of Mecca.

152
00:07:59,490 --> 00:08:02,490
He remained there for the remainder of Sunday,

153
00:08:02,490 --> 00:08:05,490
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,

154
00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:08,490
Until he prayed the dawn prayer on Thursday.

155
00:08:08,490 --> 00:08:11,490
Throughout all of this, he led his Companions in prayer there,

156
00:08:11,490 --> 00:08:14,490
And did not return to the Ka'bah

157
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:17,490
During all of those days.

158
00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:20,490
Imam al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih

159
00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:23,490
From Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

160
00:08:23,490 --> 00:08:26,490
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived

161
00:08:26,490 --> 00:08:29,490
In Mecca, circumambulated the House, performed Sa'i

162
00:08:29,490 --> 00:08:32,490
Between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and did not approach the House again

163
00:08:33,490 --> 00:08:36,679
Until he returned from 'Arafat."

164
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,679
Al-Hafiz said in al-Fath:

165
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,679
"Perhaps the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

166
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,679
Omitted voluntary circumambulation

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,679
Out of concern that someone might think it was obligatory;

168
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,679
For he loved easing burdens for his Ummah,

169
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,679
Deeming it sufficient that he had informed them

170
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,679
Of the immense virtue of circumambulating the House.

171
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,679
It was also narrated from Malik

172
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,679
That Tawaf takes precedence over voluntary prayer

173
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,679
For those arriving from distant lands,

174
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,230
And this is the relied-upon position."

00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:13,230
The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah).

176
00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:16,230
Though the longing of people across the world

177
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:19,230
For one another may grow profound,

178
00:09:19,230 --> 00:09:22,230
The longing directed toward you

179
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:25,230
Knows no bounds.

180
00:09:25,230 --> 00:09:28,450
May Allah shower

181
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:31,450
Blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

182
00:09:31,450 --> 00:09:34,840
And as long as lips

183
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,840
Move in remembrance of the Everlasting,

184
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,570
Singing your praise.
