WEBVTT 00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:03.740 In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. 00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:13.050 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:17.769 An Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah), 00:00:17.769 --> 00:00:23.120 authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid Al-'Azimi, 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.120 may Allah preserve him. 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:34.240 The Departure of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.649 from Medina and His Breaking of the Fast. 00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:44.649 The narrators differed regarding the exact day on which the Messenger of Allah departed, 00:00:44.649 --> 00:00:47.649 from Medina, as previously mentioned. 00:00:47.649 --> 00:00:50.649 What the scholars of Seerah are agreed upon 00:00:50.649 --> 00:00:53.649 is that he set out when ten nights had passed of Ramadan, 00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:58.810 and entered Mecca when nineteen nights had elapsed of it. 00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:00.810 Imam Al-Nawawi said: 00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:03.810 "What is well-known in the books of military expeditions (maghazi) 00:01:03.810 --> 00:01:05.810 is that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:08.810 set out for the Conquest of Mecca from Medina 00:01:08.810 --> 00:01:11.810 after ten nights had passed of Ramadan, 00:01:11.810 --> 00:01:14.810 and entered it when nineteen nights of it had elapsed." 00:01:14.810 --> 00:01:18.030 The Messenger of Allah set out 00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:20.030 from the prophetic city of Medina, 00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:23.030 accompanied by ten thousand warriors. 00:01:23.030 --> 00:01:27.030 The Messenger of Allah appointed 00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:29.030 as his deputy over Medina Abu Ruhm, 00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:33.030 Kulthum ibn Al-Husayn Al-Ghifari, may Allah be pleased with him. 00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:35.030 He fasted on that day, 00:01:35.030 --> 00:01:37.030 and the people fasted with him, 00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:39.030 until he reached Al-Kadeed— 00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:42.030 a watering place between 'Usfan and Qudayd— 00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.030 where he broke his fast, and the people broke their fast with him. 00:01:45.030 --> 00:01:48.159 Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad, 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.159 Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak, 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.159 and Ibn Ishaq in the Seerah with a good (hasan) chain of transmission, 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.159 and the wording is that of Al-Hakim, 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.159 from Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.159 "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, set forth 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.159 with his Companions in the Year of the Conquest, 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.159 until he encamped at Marr Al-Zahran 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.159 among ten thousand Muslims. 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.159 Sulaym reached seven hundred, 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.159 and Muzaynah numbered a thousand; 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.159 meaning Sulaym reached seven hundred warriors, 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.159 while Muzaynah reached one thousand, 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.159 and in every tribe there were numbers and devotion to Islam. 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.159 There marched forth fully with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.159 the Emigrants (Muhajirun) and the Ansar, 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.159 such that not a single one of them remained behind. 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.189 News was entirely hidden from Quraysh, 00:02:34.189 --> 00:02:39.189 so no report reached them concerning the Messenger of Allah, 00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.349 nor did they know what he was doing." 00:02:42.349 --> 00:02:46.349 The two Shaykhs narrated in their Sahih collections, and the wording is Al-Bukhari's, 00:02:46.349 --> 00:02:50.349 on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:53.379 "The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:02:53.379 --> 00:02:56.379 set out in Ramadan from Medina 00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:58.379 accompanied by ten thousand men, 00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:01.379 and that was at the end of eight and a half years 00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:03.379 following his arrival in Medina. 00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:07.449 He and the Muslims with him marched towards Mecca, 00:03:07.449 --> 00:03:10.449 with him fasting and them fasting, 00:03:10.449 --> 00:03:12.449 until he reached Al-Kadeed— 00:03:12.449 --> 00:03:15.449 which is a spring between 'Usfan and Qudayd— 00:03:15.449 --> 00:03:17.449 whereupon he broke his fast, and they broke their fast." 00:03:17.449 --> 00:03:20.669 Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih, 00:03:20.669 --> 00:03:22.669 as did Abu Dawud in his Sunan, 00:03:22.669 --> 00:03:24.669 and the wording is that of Abu Dawud, 00:03:24.669 --> 00:03:28.699 from Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:32.740 "We set out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:34.740 in Ramadan during the Year of the Conquest. 00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:38.740 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:40.740 used to fast, and we fasted along with him, 00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:43.740 until he reached a certain halting place, 00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:44.740 whereupon he said: 00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:47.740 'You have drawn near to your enemy, 00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:49.740 and breaking your fast will make you stronger.' 00:03:49.740 --> 00:03:53.740 So the morning came, and some of us were fasting while others were not. 00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:56.740 Then we marched on and descended at another halting place, 00:03:56.740 --> 00:04:00.770 and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:04:00.770 --> 00:04:03.770 'You will confront your enemy in the morning, 00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:05.770 and breaking your fast will make you stronger, 00:04:05.770 --> 00:04:07.770 so break your fast.' 00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:12.770 And this was a binding order from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him." 00:04:12.770 --> 00:04:18.819 The Acceptance of Islam by Abu Sufyan ibn Al-Harith 00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:21.819 and 'Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah. 00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:25.420 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, continued 00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:28.420 on his way toward Mecca, 00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:31.420 and when he reached Neeq Al-'Uqab, 00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:33.420 which lies between Mecca and Medina, 00:04:33.420 --> 00:04:37.420 he was met by his paternal cousin and foster brother, 00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:40.420 Abu Sufyan ibn Al-Harith ibn 'Abd Al-Muttalib, 00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:44.420 along with the son of his paternal aunt 'Atikah bint 'Abd Al-Muttalib— 00:04:44.420 --> 00:04:50.420 who was also the paternal brother of Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him— 00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:53.420 'Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn Al-Mughirah, 00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:55.420 both coming as Muslims. 00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:57.420 Al-Hakim narrated in his Mustadrak, 00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:00.420 as did Ibn Ishaq in the Seerah with a good (hasan) chain of transmission, 00:05:00.420 --> 00:05:04.420 from Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:08.459 "Abu Sufyan ibn Al-Harith ibn 'Abd Al-Muttalib 00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:11.459 and 'Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah ibn Al-Mughirah 00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:17.459 met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at Neeq Al-'Uqab, 00:05:17.459 --> 00:05:20.459 midway between Mecca and Medina, 00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:22.459 and they sought permission to enter his presence. 00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:26.459 Thereupon Umm Salamah spoke to him regarding them, saying: 00:05:26.459 --> 00:05:28.459 'O Messenger of Allah, 00:05:28.459 --> 00:05:32.459 your paternal cousin, the son of your paternal aunt, and your brother-in-law!' 00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:35.459 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:38.459 'I have no need of them. 00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:41.459 As for my cousin, he tore down my honor, 00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:43.459 and as for the son of my aunt and brother-in-law, 00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:47.459 he is the one who said to me in Mecca what he said.' 00:05:47.459 --> 00:05:49.459 He said: 00:05:49.459 --> 00:05:52.459 When this response was conveyed to them outside, 00:05:52.459 --> 00:05:55.459 Abu Sufyan had a young son with him, 00:05:55.459 --> 00:05:57.459 so he said: 00:05:57.459 --> 00:05:59.459 'By Allah, he must surely grant me permission, 00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:02.459 or else I shall take this young boy of mine by the hand, 00:06:02.459 --> 00:06:07.459 and we will wander aimlessly through the land until we perish of thirst and hunger.' 00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:12.579 When that reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:14.579 his heart softened toward them, 00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:16.579 and he subsequently granted them permission to enter. 00:06:16.579 --> 00:06:18.579 They entered upon him and embraced Islam." 00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:26.699 The Emigration of Al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd Al-Muttalib, may Allah be pleased with him, with His Family. 00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:32.139 When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, reached Al-Juhfah, 00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:38.139 he was met by his paternal uncle, Al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd Al-Muttalib, may Allah be pleased with him, emigrating with his family. 00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:41.139 He was the last person to emigrate to Medina, 00:06:41.139 --> 00:06:45.139 because the Conquest of Mecca took place after their emigration, 00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:47.139 and 'there is no emigration after the Conquest,' 00:06:47.139 --> 00:06:51.139 as stated by the infallible Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:06:51.139 --> 00:06:53.300 Imam Al-Dhahabi said: 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:59.300 "Al-'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, was ever compassionate toward the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:06:59.300 --> 00:07:02.300 loving him and enduring persecution with patience, 00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:05.300 even before he had embraced Islam; 00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:08.300 so much so that on the night of Al-'Aqabah he made himself known, 00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:13.300 standing alongside his nephew, peace be upon him, in the dead of night, 00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:16.300 and securing firm pledges for him from the seventy Companions. 00:07:16.300 --> 00:07:21.300 Then he went out to Badr alongside his people under compulsion, where he was captured, 00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:24.300 and he then disclosed to them that he had secretly accepted Islam. 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:26.300 Afterward, he returned to Mecca, 00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:30.300 and I do not know why he remained residing there. 00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:34.300 Moreover, there is no mention of him on the day of Uhud or the day of the Trench, 00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:37.300 nor did he march out with Abu Sufyan, 00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:42.300 nor did Quraysh reproach him for that in any way, as far as I know. 00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:45.300 Then he finally came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:48.300 as an emigrant shortly before the Conquest of Mecca; 00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:51.300 thus, the exact timeline of his coming has not been definitively determined for us." 00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:56.879 An Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah). 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:02.879 Though the longing of creation for one another may endure, 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:09.939 the depth of yearning for you cannot be bounded. 00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:16.519 May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised, 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:24.670 and as long as lips move with remembrance of the Everlasting.
