1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,520
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,809
The treasures of the Prophetic biography (Seerah)

3
00:00:06,809 --> 00:00:14,419
The Mosque of Dirar

4
00:00:14,419 --> 00:00:18,820
And before the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, set out for Tabuk

5
00:00:18,820 --> 00:00:21,739
Some of the hypocrites built a mosque for themselves.

6
00:00:21,739 --> 00:00:25,219
And they said to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

7
00:00:25,219 --> 00:00:30,339
Come and pray two rak'ahs in this mosque, or perform one of the prescribed prayers.

8
00:00:30,339 --> 00:00:33,659
Then, we shall subsequently designate it as a mosque.

9
00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:37,100
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

10
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:41,420
When I return from Tabuk, I will do so, if Allah wills.

11
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:44,740
This is located near the Quba Mosque.

12
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:49,500
And they desired for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to lead them in prayer.

13
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,659
So that they may propagate the corruption, disbelief, and obstinacy they desire.

14
00:00:54,659 --> 00:00:59,780
Allah protected His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from praying in it.

15
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:04,590
This was because he was preparing for a journey to Tabuk.

16
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:07,750
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, stated:

17
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:11,109
Then, when he returned from it—that is, from Tabuk—

18
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:13,189
It was revealed at Dhu Awan.

19
00:01:13,189 --> 00:01:16,549
Then the revelation descended upon him regarding this mosque.

20
00:01:16,549 --> 00:01:18,670
This is in reference to the words of Allah the Exalted:

21
00:01:18,670 --> 00:01:25,670
“And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

22
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:28,870
And as a means of causing division among the believers.

23
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:35,030
“And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

24
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:40,590
“And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

25
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:45,310
And Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars.

26
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:48,269
“Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.” (9:108)

27
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:55,950
“Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.” (9:108)

28
00:01:55,950 --> 00:02:00,950
“Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.” (9:108)

29
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:04,790
And Allah loves those who purify themselves.

30
00:02:04,790 --> 00:02:10,949
“Is he who founded his building upon duty to Allah and His good pleasure better; or he who founded his building on the brink of a crumbling, overhanging precipice so that it toppled with him into the fire of hell? Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.” (9:109)

31
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:13,909
Is it he who founded his building upon the fear of Allah?

32
00:02:13,949 --> 00:02:19,590
Is it he who founded his building on the edge of a crumbling precipice, so that it collapsed?

33
00:02:19,590 --> 00:02:25,830
“Is he who founded his building upon duty to Allah and His good pleasure better; or he who founded his building on the brink of a crumbling, overhanging precipice so that it toppled with him into the fire of hell? Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.” (9:109)

34
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:30,030
And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

35
00:02:30,030 --> 00:02:36,150
Their building, which they have built, will continue to be a source of doubt in their hearts.

36
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:39,870
“The building which they built will never cease to be a misgiving in their hearts unless their hearts be torn to pieces. Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:110)

37
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:43,789
And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

38
00:03:09,979 --> 00:03:12,539
And to cause division among the believers.

39
00:03:12,539 --> 00:03:17,580
That is, by sitting in this mosque and weaving conspiracies.

40
00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:21,979
“And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

41
00:03:21,979 --> 00:03:28,590
That is, this mosque is to be a place for the gathering of those who previously waged war against Allah and His Messenger.

42
00:03:28,590 --> 00:03:31,110
This is Abu 'Amir al-Rahib.

43
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:35,389
He was a Christian man known as Abu 'Amir the Corrupt.

44
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:40,310
This is because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, invited him to Islam.

45
00:03:40,310 --> 00:03:46,789
He then went to the people of Makkah to incite them against the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

46
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:52,189
They came in the year of Uhud to fight the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

47
00:03:52,189 --> 00:03:56,949
Then this Abu 'Amir went to the Byzantine Emperor, Caesar.

48
00:03:56,949 --> 00:04:01,389
He seeks his support against the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

49
00:04:01,389 --> 00:04:06,830
He used to write to his brethren who had fallen into hypocrisy, making them promises and filling them with false hopes.

50
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:10,349
And Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

51
00:04:10,349 --> 00:04:13,270
And he was among the devils of mankind.

52
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:17,990
His correspondence and envoys would reach them at every turn.

53
00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:20,110
So they built this mosque.

54
00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:23,069
In its outward appearance, it is a mosque.

55
00:04:23,069 --> 00:04:28,430
Its inner reality is a theater of war and conflict against the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

56
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:32,949
It was a place of residence for the envoys arriving from Abu 'Amir al-Rahib.

57
00:04:32,949 --> 00:04:37,910
It is also a gathering place for those who follow their path among the hypocrites.

58
00:04:37,910 --> 00:04:40,629
It is for this reason that Allah, the Exalted, said:

59
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:45,230
“And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

60
00:04:45,230 --> 00:04:46,589
Then he said:

61
00:04:46,589 --> 00:04:50,310
“And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.” (9:107)

62
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:53,670
In other words, our only intention in building it was to do good.

63
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:56,949
And Allah bears witness that they are indeed liars.

64
00:04:56,990 --> 00:05:01,389
For He knows the treachery of the eyes and what the hearts conceal.

65
00:05:01,389 --> 00:05:02,829
Then he said:

66
00:05:02,829 --> 00:05:05,430
“Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was found upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the purifiers.” (9:108)

67
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,589
He then forbade him from standing there.

68
00:05:07,589 --> 00:05:09,870
So that his command is not established.

69
00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:12,910
Then he commanded him and encouraged him to stand in the mosque.

70
00:05:12,910 --> 00:05:16,149
The one which was founded upon piety from the very first day.

71
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:18,819
That is none other than the Quba Mosque.

72
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:22,019
At that point, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gave the command.

73
00:05:22,019 --> 00:05:23,899
Malik Ibn al-Dukhshum

74
00:05:23,899 --> 00:05:27,180
And the meaning of [the narration of] Ibn 'Adi, may Allah be pleased with both of them.

75
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:30,740
Let him go to that mosque whose people are oppressors.

76
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:33,060
Then they shall burn him with fire.

77
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:36,509
So he went, and the two of them burned him with fire.

78
00:05:36,509 --> 00:05:39,949
This ruling is not exclusive to this mosque.

79
00:05:39,949 --> 00:05:42,990
Rather, every mosque that was not built upon piety.

80
00:05:42,990 --> 00:05:45,589
For his ultimate fate is to be destroyed.

81
00:05:45,589 --> 00:05:48,110
For the fundamental principle regarding the construction of a mosque

82
00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:52,269
That it be built upon piety toward Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He.

83
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:54,509
And that which is not built upon God-consciousness (taqwa)

84
00:05:54,509 --> 00:05:57,389
For it is not permissible to perform prayer in it.

85
00:05:57,389 --> 00:06:00,189
And he distinguishes between the house and the church.

86
00:06:00,189 --> 00:06:03,389
And the mosque that is built to cause harm.

87
00:06:03,389 --> 00:06:06,750
A house can be converted into a mosque.

88
00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:10,709
Likewise, a church may be converted into a mosque.

89
00:06:10,709 --> 00:06:13,709
For it was not originally built to be a mosque.

90
00:06:13,709 --> 00:06:16,470
However, it is to be built upon the premise that it is a mosque.

91
00:06:16,470 --> 00:06:18,029
It is for the purpose of causing harm.

92
00:06:18,029 --> 00:06:20,750
Therefore, it is not permissible to perform prayer in it.

93
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:23,670
Must it be demolished and rebuilt from scratch?

94
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:27,029
upon a foundation of taqwa from Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He.

95
00:06:38,939 --> 00:06:40,740
During the expedition of Tabuk

96
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:43,019
A group of the Muslims remained behind.

97
00:06:43,019 --> 00:06:46,540
On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

98
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:49,139
They are divided into five categories.

99
00:06:49,139 --> 00:06:50,459
The first.

100
00:06:50,459 --> 00:06:53,620
They lagged behind the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

101
00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:54,939
By His command.

102
00:06:54,939 --> 00:06:57,459
They are commanded to do so and shall be rewarded for it.

103
00:06:57,459 --> 00:06:59,459
Such as 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him.

104
00:06:59,459 --> 00:07:02,740
And Muhammad Ibn Maslamah, may Allah be pleased with him.

105
00:07:02,740 --> 00:07:04,670
And others besides them.

106
00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:05,990
The second.

107
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:08,230
Those who remained behind were excused.

108
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:10,629
They are the sick and the weak.

109
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:14,579
This includes women, children, and the elderly among them.

110
00:07:14,579 --> 00:07:15,939
The third.

111
00:07:15,939 --> 00:07:17,819
They are the destitute and the poor.

112
00:07:17,819 --> 00:07:19,740
And they are the ones who weep profusely.

113
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:22,660
Like the likes of 'Ulba ibn Zayd and others.

114
00:07:22,699 --> 00:07:25,339
And those concerning whom Allah, the Exalted, said:

115
00:07:25,339 --> 00:07:28,259
There is no blame upon the weak

116
00:07:28,259 --> 00:07:29,899
Nor is there any blame upon the sick.

117
00:07:29,899 --> 00:07:33,300
“Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto those who can find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home) if they are true to Allah and His messenger. Not unto the good is there any road (of blame). Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:91)

118
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,180
“Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto those who can find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home) if they are true to Allah and His messenger. Not unto the good is there any road (of blame). Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:91)

119
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:38,579
They do not find any reluctance in what they spend.

120
00:07:38,579 --> 00:07:41,100
When they offer sincere counsel for the sake of Allah.

121
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:44,660
“Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto those who can find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home) if they are true to Allah and His messenger. Not unto the good is there any road (of blame). Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:91)

122
00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:48,980
“Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto those who can find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they stay at home) if they are true to Allah and His messenger. Not unto the good is there any road (of blame). Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:91)

123
00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:52,259
And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

124
00:07:52,259 --> 00:07:55,259
“Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you. They turned back with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend.” (9:92)

125
00:07:55,259 --> 00:07:56,500
In order for them to carry it.

126
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,860
“Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you. They turned back with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend.” (9:92)

127
00:07:59,860 --> 00:08:01,259
They turned away.

128
00:08:01,259 --> 00:08:04,899
“Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you. They turned back with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend.” (9:92)

129
00:08:04,899 --> 00:08:09,579
“Nor unto those whom, when they came to thee (asking) that thou shouldst mount them, thou didst tell: I cannot find whereon to mount you. They turned back with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend.” (9:92)

130
00:08:09,579 --> 00:08:10,740
The fourth.

131
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:12,300
They are blameworthy.

132
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:13,620
They are the hypocrites.

133
00:08:13,620 --> 00:08:18,139
Those who remained behind and did not join the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

134
00:08:18,139 --> 00:08:19,980
Jadd ibn Qays

135
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:21,420
He who said

136
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:24,139
Grant me permission and do not tempt me.

137
00:08:24,139 --> 00:08:28,860
And those who said to their companions, "Do not march forth in the heat."

138
00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:30,259
The fifth.

139
00:08:30,259 --> 00:08:32,220
They are disobedient sinners.

140
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:33,299
They erred.

141
00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:35,100
They are divided into two categories.

142
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:36,820
The first category

143
00:08:36,820 --> 00:08:39,460
Abu Lubaba and his companions.

144
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:42,139
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both

145
00:08:42,139 --> 00:08:45,100
Regarding the words of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:

146
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:48,379
And others have confessed their sins.

147
00:08:48,379 --> 00:08:51,179
They mixed a righteous deed

148
00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:53,620
And he ended up in a bad state.

149
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:56,980
“And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:102)

150
00:08:56,980 --> 00:09:01,720
Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

151
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,720
He said

152
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,679
They were a group of ten men.

153
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,159
They remained behind, failing to accompany the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

154
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:10,039
During the expedition of Tabuk.

155
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:12,240
When the time for his return arrived

156
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,639
Seven of them bound themselves to the pillars of the mosque.

157
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:21,120
When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed by them

158
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,200
He asked, "Who are these people?"

159
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,320
They said:

160
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,559
Abu Lubaba and his companions

161
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,000
They stayed behind and did not join you.

162
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,919
until you release them and excuse them.

163
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:32,120
He said

164
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,039
And I swear by Allah

165
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:36,759
I neither release them nor do I excuse them.

166
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:41,080
Until Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, is the One who releases them.

167
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,559
They turned away from me and failed to join the Muslims in the military expedition.

168
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,759
When that news reached them,

169
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:48,799
They said:

170
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:51,240
We do not give ourselves free rein.

171
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,080
Until Allah is the One who has set us in motion.

172
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,080
Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, revealed

173
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,960
And others have confessed their sins.

174
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,720
“And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:102)

175
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,600
“And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mixed a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (9:102)

176
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,639
Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

177
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:12,399
And it is a hope from Allah.

178
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,080
Meaning, it is an obligation upon Allah, Majestic and Exalted is He.

179
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,360
He made it incumbent upon Himself.

180
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,879
Here, its meaning is that He accepted their repentance.

181
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:23,480
When this verse was revealed

182
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,519
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent to them.

183
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:29,919
He then set them free and excused them.

184
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:33,799
They came with their wealth and said, "O Messenger of Allah."

185
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:36,960
These are our possessions; give them away as charity on our behalf.

186
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,879
And seek forgiveness for us.

187
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:40,120
He then said

188
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,200
I have not been commanded to take your wealth.

189
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed

190
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:49,879
“Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them. Lo! thy prayer is an assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (9:103)

191
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:54,080
“Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them. Lo! thy prayer is an assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (9:103)

192
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,200
“Take alms of their wealth, wherewith thou mayst purify them and mayst make them grow, and pray for them. Lo! thy prayer is an assuagement for them. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (9:103)

193
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,659
And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing of them.

194
00:11:00,659 --> 00:11:02,460
The second category.

195
00:11:02,460 --> 00:11:06,700
They are the ones concerning whom Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:

196
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:11,419
“And (there are) others who await Allah's decree, whether He will punish them or will forgive them. Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:106)

197
00:11:11,419 --> 00:11:17,179
“And (there are) others who await Allah's decree, whether He will punish them or will forgive them. Allah is Knower, Wise.” (9:106)

198
00:11:17,179 --> 00:11:20,659
And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

199
00:11:20,659 --> 00:11:24,379
They are the three who did not bind themselves.
