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

00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:12.939
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:12.939 --> 00:00:20.160
A Summary of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:28.750
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, placed the Black Stone with his own noble hand.

00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:34.070
When the Quraysh reached the place of the Black Stone while rebuilding the Kaaba,

00:00:34.149 --> 00:00:36.509
they disputed over who should have the honor of placing it.

00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:40.070
The situation nearly escalated into war among them.

00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:46.350
They agreed to let the first person to enter through the gate of Banu Shaybah judge between them.

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:51.909
Allah decreed that the first person to enter through the gate of Banu Shaybah upon them

00:00:51.909 --> 00:00:55.670
was the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:00:55.670 --> 00:00:58.229
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad,

00:00:58.229 --> 00:01:01.590
and al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak with a sound (sahih) chain of narration,

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:03.429
with the wording belonging to al-Hakim,

00:01:03.469 --> 00:01:06.349
on the authority of Abdullah Ibn al-Sa'ib, who said:

00:01:06.349 --> 00:01:10.950
The Quraysh differed regarding the Stone when they intended to place it,

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:15.349
to the point that they were nearly fighting one another with swords.

00:01:15.349 --> 00:01:16.590
They said,

00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:20.750
"Appoint as an arbiter between you the first man to enter through this gate."

00:01:20.750 --> 00:01:24.709
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, entered.

00:01:24.709 --> 00:01:25.790
They said,

00:01:25.790 --> 00:01:27.829
"This is the Trustworthy One (al-Amin)."

00:01:27.829 --> 00:01:31.909
They used to call him the Trustworthy One during the pre-Islamic era.

00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:33.989
They said, "O Muhammad,

00:01:33.989 --> 00:01:36.090
we are satisfied with you."

00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:40.650
He called for a garment, spread it out, and placed the Stone inside it.

00:01:40.650 --> 00:01:44.370
Then he said to this clan and that clan,

00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:48.530
"Let every clan among you take hold of a side of the garment."

00:01:48.530 --> 00:01:49.769
They did so.

00:01:49.769 --> 00:01:51.370
Then they lifted it.

00:01:51.370 --> 00:01:55.010
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took it,

00:01:55.010 --> 00:01:57.159
and placed it with his own hand.

00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.760
In another narration in al-Mustadrak,

00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.920
and in Dala'il al-Nubuwwah by al-Bayhaqi with a good (hasan) chain of narration,

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.039
on the authority of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.719
When they wanted to place the Stone,

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.840
they quarreled over who would place it.

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.159
They said,

00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.159
"The first person to emerge from this gate shall place it."

00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.360
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, emerged

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.120
from the direction of the gate of Banu Shaybah.

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.680
He ordered a garment to be brought and spread out,

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.280
and the Stone was placed in its center.

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.159
Then he ordered a man from every tribe of the Quraysh

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.879
to take hold of a side of the garment.

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.280
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took it with his hand,

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.120
and placed it.

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:50.159
Allah protected His Messenger, peace be upon him, before his mission.

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:56.319
Allah, glory be to Him, guarded and shielded His Messenger, peace be upon him,

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:00.759
and purified him from the filth of the pre-Islamic era and from every defect.

00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.840
He endowed him with every beautiful character trait,

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.199
so that he was known among his people only as the Trustworthy One,

00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.560
because of what they witnessed of his purity,

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.360
the truthfulness of his speech, and his trustworthiness, peace be upon him.

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.639
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:

00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.960
Then Allah made seclusion and worship of his Lord beloved to him.

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.560
He would seclude himself in the cave of Hira,

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.280
worshipping therein for a number of nights.

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.680
Idols and the religion of his people were made hateful to him,

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.879
and there was nothing more hateful to him than that.

The longing for you is boundless,

00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:13.639
may Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:21.779
and lips move with the remainder of the remembrance.
