00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.359
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:12.820
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:17.539
A Summary of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:17.539 --> 00:00:22.390
Proclaiming the call to Islam.

00:00:22.390 --> 00:00:28.030
Then, the following words of Allah were revealed to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him:

00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:30.149
"And..."

00:00:30.149 --> 00:00:34.630
And the following words of Allah were revealed to him, peace be upon him:

00:00:34.630 --> 00:00:41.670
“So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters.” (15:94)

00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:43.950
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:47.670
Then it was revealed to him, peace be upon him:

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:51.990
“So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters.” (15:94)

00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:57.219
So, the Prophet, peace be upon him, proclaimed the call and openly declared it to his people.

00:00:57.219 --> 00:00:59.740
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:02.700
There was no one among the Banu Hashim at that time

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:08.939
who possessed more faith, certainty, and belief in the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:11.500
than Ali, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:18.170
For this reason, they were the first to commit to what the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, requested of them.

00:01:18.170 --> 00:01:21.489
Then, after this—and Allah knows best—

00:01:21.489 --> 00:01:24.489
came his calling the people openly upon Mount Safa,

00:01:24.489 --> 00:01:28.730
and his warning to the clans of Quraysh, both generally and specifically,

00:01:28.769 --> 00:01:33.810
until he named those he named among his uncles, aunts, and daughters,

00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:36.810
to use the lesser example to alert them to the greater reality,

00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:39.769
meaning: "I am only a warner."

00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:44.769
And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.

00:01:44.769 --> 00:01:47.290
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections,

00:01:47.290 --> 00:01:49.129
with the wording belonging to Muslim,

00:01:49.129 --> 00:01:52.769
from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:01:52.769 --> 00:01:55.290
When this verse was revealed:

00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:58.329
"And warn your closest kindred,"

00:01:58.370 --> 00:02:01.170
and those among them who are sincere,

00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:06.489
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, went out until he ascended Mount Safa.

00:02:06.489 --> 00:02:09.169
He cried out, "Ya sabahah!" (a call of alarm).

00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:12.650
They asked, "Who is this calling out?"

00:02:12.650 --> 00:02:14.610
They said, "It is Muhammad."

00:02:14.610 --> 00:02:16.490
So they gathered around him.

00:02:16.490 --> 00:02:17.650
He said:

00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:19.409
"O Banu Fulan!"

00:02:19.409 --> 00:02:21.330
"O Banu Fulan!"

00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:23.289
"O Banu Fulan!"

00:02:23.289 --> 00:02:25.330
"O Banu Abd Manaf!"

00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:27.770
"O Banu Abd al-Muttalib!"

00:02:27.770 --> 00:02:29.650
They gathered around him.

00:02:29.650 --> 00:02:30.969
He said:

00:02:30.969 --> 00:02:36.530
"What do you think? If I were to tell you that cavalry were emerging from the foot of this mountain,

00:02:36.530 --> 00:02:38.770
would you believe me?"

00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:42.250
They replied, "We have never known you to tell a lie."

00:02:42.250 --> 00:02:45.889
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:02:45.889 --> 00:02:50.909
"Then I am a warner to you before a severe punishment."

00:02:50.909 --> 00:02:53.629
The two Shaykhs narrated in their Sahih collections,

00:02:53.629 --> 00:02:56.990
from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:02:56.990 --> 00:03:02.069
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, stood up when Allah revealed:

00:03:02.069 --> 00:03:05.430
"And warn your closest kindred."

00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:06.469
He said:

00:03:06.469 --> 00:03:08.509
"O assembly of Quraysh!

00:03:08.509 --> 00:03:10.509
Save yourselves!

00:03:10.509 --> 00:03:14.069
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."

00:03:14.069 --> 00:03:16.110
"O Banu Abd Manaf!

00:03:16.110 --> 00:03:19.590
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."

00:03:19.590 --> 00:03:22.509
"O Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib!

00:03:22.509 --> 00:03:25.830
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."

00:03:25.870 --> 00:03:29.069
"And O Safiyyah, aunt of the Messenger of Allah!

00:03:29.069 --> 00:03:32.229
I cannot avail you anything against Allah."

00:03:32.229 --> 00:03:34.870
"And O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad!

00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:37.509
Ask me for whatever you wish from my wealth,

00:03:37.509 --> 00:03:41.310
but I cannot avail you anything against Allah."

00:03:41.310 --> 00:03:46.669
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, clarified to those closest to him

00:03:46.669 --> 00:03:49.349
that belief in this message

00:03:49.349 --> 00:03:52.669
is the lifeblood of the connection between him and them,

00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:57.030
and that the tribal partisanship upon which the Arabs relied

00:03:57.030 --> 00:04:01.270
dissolved in the heat of this warning coming from Allah.

00:04:01.270 --> 00:04:07.560

00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:12.419
authored by Shaykh Musa ibn Rashid al-Azimi,

00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:19.300
and presented by the Mawaddah Society in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:26.180
If the longing of the worlds for one another grows long,

00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:33.189
the longing for you, O Messenger, has no limit.

00:04:33.189 --> 00:04:39.779
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:47.800
and as long as lips move with the remainder of the remembrance.
