1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,740
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:13,179
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:17,699
A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

4
00:00:17,699 --> 00:00:22,929
Authored by Sheikh Musa bin Rashid al-Azimi.

5
00:00:23,089 --> 00:00:25,089
May Allah preserve him.

6
00:00:25,089 --> 00:00:34,130
The arrival of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at al-Hudaybiyah.

7
00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:40,229
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, commanded the people.

8
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:42,229
So they took the path to the right.

9
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:44,229
Through the midst of the Hamd region.

10
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:48,030
Along a route that would lead them to the mountain pass of al-Murar.

11
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:51,130
Al-Hudaybiyah is located at the lower end of Makkah.

12
00:00:51,130 --> 00:00:54,130
He led the army along that path.

13
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:59,490
When the cavalry of Quraysh saw the dust of the army and realized they had deviated from their usual route,

14
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:02,490
They turned back toward Quraysh.

15
00:01:02,689 --> 00:01:06,370
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, continued on.

16
00:01:06,370 --> 00:01:09,530
Until he reached the pass of al-Murar.

17
00:01:09,530 --> 00:01:13,769
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to his Companions,

18
00:01:13,769 --> 00:01:17,329
"Whoever ascends this pass, the pass of al-Murar,

19
00:01:17,329 --> 00:01:22,120
Shall have his burdens removed just as the burdens of the Children of Israel were removed."

20
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,799
Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

21
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,640
The first to ascend it were our cavalry,

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,640
The cavalry of the Banu al-Khazraj.

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Then the people followed in succession.

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,319
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was at the pass,

25
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,200
The pass of al-Murar from which he was to descend toward them,

26
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,079
His she-camel, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, knelt down.

27
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:46,680
The people said,

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,200
"Hal, hal!" (urging it to rise).

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,719
But she remained stubborn.

30
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:50,920
They said,

31
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,879
"Al-Qaswa has become recalcitrant."

32
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:56,599
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

33
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:58,680
"Al-Qaswa has not become recalcitrant,

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,159
Nor is that in her nature.

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,500
Rather, she has been restrained by the One who restrained the Elephant."

36
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:08,419
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

37
00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:10,539
"By Him in whose hand is my soul,

38
00:02:10,539 --> 00:02:15,180
They will not ask me for any condition that honors the sacred sanctities of Allah,

39
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:18,060
But that I will grant it to them."

40
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:21,699
In another wording in the Musnad with a hasan (sound) chain of narration,

41
00:02:21,699 --> 00:02:25,379
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

42
00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:29,020
"By Allah, Quraysh will not call me today to any condition,

43
00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:31,699
In which they seek the upholding of kinship ties,

44
00:02:31,699 --> 00:02:34,810
But that I will grant it to them."

45
00:02:34,810 --> 00:02:39,449
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, urged his camel,

46
00:02:39,449 --> 00:02:40,770
And she sprang up.

47
00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:44,610
He turned away from them until he camped at the furthest edge of al-Hudaybiyah,

48
00:02:44,610 --> 00:02:49,210
By a shallow well from which the people drew water sparingly.

49
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:52,490
The people did not leave it until they had drained it.

50
00:02:52,490 --> 00:02:57,250
Thirst was complained of to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

51
00:02:57,250 --> 00:02:59,969
He drew an arrow from his quiver,

52
00:02:59,969 --> 00:03:02,689
And commanded them to place it in the well.

53
00:03:02,689 --> 00:03:05,330
It continued to gush forth with water for them,

54
00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:07,620
Until they had all satisfied their thirst and departed from it.

55
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:12,099
In a narration by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad with a hasan chain,

56
00:03:12,099 --> 00:03:15,699
On the authority of al-Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan bin al-Hakam,

57
00:03:15,699 --> 00:03:16,979
They said:

58
00:03:16,979 --> 00:03:19,060
They said, "O Messenger of Allah,

59
00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:23,099
There is no water in the valley for the people to settle upon."

60
00:03:23,099 --> 00:03:26,219
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took out,

61
00:03:26,219 --> 00:03:28,379
An arrow from his quiver,

62
00:03:28,379 --> 00:03:31,099
And gave it to one of his Companions.

63
00:03:31,099 --> 00:03:34,219
He descended into one of those wells,

64
00:03:34,219 --> 00:03:35,979
And planted it therein.

65
00:03:35,979 --> 00:03:38,419
The water gushed forth,

66
00:03:38,419 --> 00:03:43,819
Until the people were able to depart from it fully satisfied.

67
00:03:43,819 --> 00:03:49,789
The mediation of Budayl bin Warqa', may Allah be pleased with him.

68
00:03:49,789 --> 00:03:53,469
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, felt settled,

69
00:03:53,469 --> 00:03:56,180
In his camp at al-Hudaybiyah,

70
00:03:56,219 --> 00:04:00,460
Budayl bin Warqa' al-Khuza'i, may Allah be pleased with him, came to him,

71
00:04:00,460 --> 00:04:03,020
While he was still a polytheist,

72
00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:06,180
With a group of his people from Khuza'ah.

73
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:10,099
He said to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

74
00:04:10,099 --> 00:04:12,419
"I have left Ka'b bin Lu'ayy,

75
00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:14,300
And 'Amir bin Lu'ayy,

76
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:17,379
They have settled at the water sources of al-Hudaybiyah,

77
00:04:17,379 --> 00:04:20,220
And with them are their nursing camels.

78
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:24,029
They will fight you and prevent you from reaching the House."

79
00:04:24,029 --> 00:04:27,750
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

80
00:04:27,750 --> 00:04:30,750
"We have not come to fight anyone,

81
00:04:30,750 --> 00:04:33,629
But we have come to perform 'Umrah.

82
00:04:33,629 --> 00:04:38,069
Quraysh has been exhausted by war and it has harmed them.

83
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:39,470
If they wish,

84
00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:41,269
I will grant them a truce for a period,

85
00:04:41,269 --> 00:04:44,069
And they shall leave me and the people alone.

86
00:04:44,069 --> 00:04:45,430
If I prevail,

87
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:49,069
Then if they wish to enter into what the people have entered into,

88
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:50,230
They may do so.

89
00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:52,550
Otherwise, they will have rested.

90
00:04:52,589 --> 00:04:54,149
But if they refuse,

91
00:04:54,149 --> 00:04:56,430
Then by Him in whose hand is my soul,

92
00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:59,069
I will fight them for this cause of mine,

93
00:04:59,069 --> 00:05:01,750
Until my neck is severed,

94
00:05:01,750 --> 00:05:04,750
And Allah will surely execute His command."

95
00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:07,509
Budayl, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

96
00:05:07,509 --> 00:05:10,269
"I will convey to them what you have said."

97
00:05:10,269 --> 00:05:13,350
Budayl bin Warqa', may Allah be pleased with him, departed,

98
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:15,509
Along with those who were with him from Khuza'ah,

99
00:05:15,509 --> 00:05:17,910
Until they came to Quraysh.

100
00:05:17,910 --> 00:05:19,110
He said,

101
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:21,949
"We have come to you from this man,

102
00:05:21,949 --> 00:05:24,670
And we heard him say something.

103
00:05:24,670 --> 00:05:27,269
If you wish for us to present it to you,

104
00:05:27,269 --> 00:05:28,750
We will do so."

105
00:05:28,750 --> 00:05:30,790
Their foolish ones said,

106
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:34,670
"We have no need for you to tell us anything about him."

107
00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:37,110
But the wise among them said,

108
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:39,750
"Bring what you heard him say."

109
00:05:39,750 --> 00:05:40,790
He said,

110
00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:43,870
"I heard him say such and such."

111
00:05:43,870 --> 00:05:48,819
And he informed them of what the Prophet, peace be upon him, had said.

112
00:05:48,819 --> 00:05:51,540
In a narration by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad,

113
00:05:51,939 --> 00:05:55,540
On the authority of al-Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan bin al-Hakam,

114
00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:56,740
They said:

115
00:05:56,740 --> 00:05:58,980
They returned to Quraysh,

116
00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:01,500
And said, "O assembly of Quraysh,

117
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:04,259
You are being hasty regarding Muhammad.

118
00:06:04,259 --> 00:06:07,500
Muhammad has not come to fight;

119
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,579
He has only come as a visitor to this House,

120
00:06:10,579 --> 00:06:12,699
Honoring its sanctity."

121
00:06:12,699 --> 00:06:14,300
They accused them,

122
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:15,579
And said,

123
00:06:15,579 --> 00:06:18,540
"Even if he has only come for that,

124
00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:21,100
No, by Allah, he shall not enter it.

125
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:24,100
He shall never enter it against our will,

126
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:29,439
Lest the Arabs speak of that."

127
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:35,949
Sending 'Uthman bin 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, to Quraysh.

128
00:06:35,949 --> 00:06:39,949
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent,

129
00:06:39,949 --> 00:06:42,949
'Uthman bin 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, to Makkah,

130
00:06:42,949 --> 00:06:46,949
To deliver the message of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

131
00:06:46,949 --> 00:06:48,949
To the leaders of Makkah,

132
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,949
That he had only come to perform 'Umrah.

133
00:06:52,110 --> 00:06:55,110
Imam Ahmad has narrated in his Musnad,

134
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:59,110
And al-Tahawi in Sharh Mushkil al-Athar with a hasan chain,

135
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:02,110
On the authority of al-Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan bin al-Hakam,

136
00:07:02,110 --> 00:07:03,110
They said:

137
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:06,110
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called,

138
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:08,110
'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him,

139
00:07:08,110 --> 00:07:10,110
To send him to Makkah.

140
00:07:10,110 --> 00:07:11,139
He said,

141
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:13,139
"O Messenger of Allah,

142
00:07:13,139 --> 00:07:16,139
I fear for my life from Quraysh,

143
00:07:16,139 --> 00:07:19,139
And there is no one from the Banu 'Adi bin Ka'b,

144
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:21,139
To protect me.

145
00:07:21,139 --> 00:07:24,139
Quraysh knows of my enmity toward them,

146
00:07:24,139 --> 00:07:26,139
And my harshness against them.

147
00:07:26,139 --> 00:07:30,139
But I will guide you to a man more honored among them than I,

148
00:07:30,139 --> 00:07:32,139
'Uthman bin 'Affan."

149
00:07:32,139 --> 00:07:36,240
So the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called him,

150
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,240
And sent him to Quraysh,

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240
To inform them that he had not come for war,

152
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,240
And that he had only come as a visitor to this House,

153
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240
Honoring its sanctity.

154
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,339
'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, departed,

155
00:07:50,339 --> 00:07:52,339
Until he reached Makkah.

156
00:07:52,339 --> 00:07:55,339
Aban bin Sa'id bin al-'As met him,

157
00:07:55,339 --> 00:07:57,339
He dismounted from his mount,

158
00:07:57,339 --> 00:08:00,339
And let him ride behind him and granted him protection,

159
00:08:00,339 --> 00:08:05,500
So that he could deliver the message of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

160
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,500
'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, went on,

161
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:12,500
Until he came to Abu Sufyan and the notables of Quraysh,

162
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:15,500
And conveyed to them from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

163
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:17,500
The message he was sent with.

164
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,500
They said to 'Uthman,

165
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,500
"If you wish to circumambulate the House, then do so."

166
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:25,529
'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

167
00:08:25,529 --> 00:08:30,529
"I would not do so until the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, has circumambulated it."

168
00:08:30,529 --> 00:08:33,529
Quraysh detained him with them.

169
00:08:33,529 --> 00:08:40,529
News reached the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and the Muslims that 'Uthman had been killed.

00:08:40,529 --> 00:08:45,070
A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

171
00:08:45,070 --> 00:08:51,070
If the longing of the worlds for one another is long,

172
00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:58,259
The longing for you has no bounds.

173
00:08:58,259 --> 00:09:04,809
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

174
00:09:04,809 --> 00:09:13,960
And lips move with the remainder of the remembrance.
