1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,620
The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah),

4
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:24,980
Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid Al-'Azimi, may Allah preserve him.

5
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:33,500
The Departure of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from 'Arafah to Muzdalifah.

6
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:40,979
When the sun had set and its setting was complete, such that the yellow afterglow had vanished,

7
00:00:40,979 --> 00:00:45,979
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed from 'Arafah toward Muzdalifah,

8
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:48,979
Chanting the Talbiyah as he went,

9
00:00:48,979 --> 00:00:53,979
Having seated Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both) behind him on his mount.

10
00:00:53,979 --> 00:00:57,979
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) proceeded with serenity and composure.

11
00:00:57,979 --> 00:01:02,979
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) adopted a brisk walk (*al-'anaq*),

12
00:01:02,979 --> 00:01:05,980
Which is an intermediate pace between slow walking and hurrying.

13
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:10,980
Whenever he found an open space, he would quicken his pace to *an-nass*, which is faster than *al-'anaq*.

14
00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:14,010
*An-nass* is a faster gait than ordinary walking.

15
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:17,069
Whenever he came upon a sand dune,

16
00:01:17,069 --> 00:01:22,069
He loosened the reins of his camel slightly so that it could ascend.

17
00:01:22,069 --> 00:01:27,069
A *habl* is a massive, elongated ridge of sand.

18
00:01:27,069 --> 00:01:30,170
When he was on the road near the mountain pass,

19
00:01:30,170 --> 00:01:33,170
He (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted,

20
00:01:33,170 --> 00:01:36,170
Relieved himself, and performed a light ablution.

21
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:39,170
Thereupon Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him,

22
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:42,170
"The prayer, O Messenger of Allah!"

23
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:45,170
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied,

24
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:48,459
"The prayer is ahead of you."

25
00:01:48,459 --> 00:01:52,459
The two Sheikhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their Sahihs, and this wording is al-Bukhari's,

26
00:01:52,459 --> 00:01:56,459
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

27
00:01:56,459 --> 00:01:58,459
Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him)

28
00:01:58,459 --> 00:02:01,459
Was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

29
00:02:01,459 --> 00:02:04,459
From 'Arafah to Muzdalifah,

30
00:02:04,459 --> 00:02:07,459
Then he seated Al-Fadl behind him from Muzdalifah to Mina.

31
00:02:07,459 --> 00:02:09,460
Both of them said:

32
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:12,460
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continued

33
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:16,520
Reciting the Talbiyah until he stoned Jamrat al-'Aqabah.

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,520
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

35
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,520
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

36
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,520
While we were at Jam' [Muzdalifah],

37
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,520
I heard the one to whom Surat al-Baqarah was revealed saying in this place:

38
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,520
"Labbayk, Allahumma labbayk [Here I am, O Allah, here I am]."

39
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,580
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

40
00:02:36,580 --> 00:02:40,580
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

41
00:02:40,580 --> 00:02:44,580
He remained standing until the sun set,

42
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:48,580
And the yellow glow faded slightly until the disc of the sun disappeared.

43
00:02:48,580 --> 00:02:51,580
He seated Usamah behind him,

44
00:02:51,580 --> 00:02:54,580
And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) set forth,

45
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:57,580
Having pulled the reins of al-Qaswa' so tightly

46
00:02:57,580 --> 00:03:01,580
That her head was touching the front part of his saddle,

47
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:03,580
While gesturing with his right hand:

48
00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:07,580
"O people, maintain serenity, maintain serenity!"

49
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:10,650
Whenever he came upon a sand ridge,

50
00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:13,650
He eased the reins slightly for her so she could climb,

51
00:03:13,650 --> 00:03:16,650
Until he reached Muzdalifah.

52
00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:18,650
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad

53
00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:22,650
And Abu Dawud in his Sunan with an authentic chain of transmission

54
00:03:22,650 --> 00:03:26,650
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

55
00:03:26,650 --> 00:03:29,710
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed

56
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,710
From 'Arafah with serenity,

57
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:35,710
Accompanied by Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) riding behind him,

58
00:03:35,710 --> 00:03:40,710
And he said, "O people, you must maintain tranquility,

59
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:44,710
For righteousness does not consist in spurring horses and camels to race."

60
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:47,969
The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahihs

61
00:03:47,969 --> 00:03:50,969
On the authority of Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both),

62
00:03:51,969 --> 00:03:57,000
That he was asked: "How did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

63
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Proceed during the Farewell Pilgrimage when he departed?"

64
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,060
He (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

65
00:04:03,060 --> 00:04:05,060
"He used to proceed at a moderate pace (*al-'anaq*),

66
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:08,099
And whenever he found an open space, he quickened his pace (*an-nass*)."

67
00:04:08,099 --> 00:04:11,099
The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahihs

68
00:04:11,099 --> 00:04:15,099
On the authority of Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

69
00:04:15,099 --> 00:04:18,100
"I rode behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

70
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:20,160
From 'Arafat.

71
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,160
When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) reached

72
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,160
The ravine on the left side before Muzdalifah,

73
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,160
He made his mount kneel and relieved himself.

74
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,160
Then he returned, and I poured water for his ablution,

75
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,160
So he performed a light ablution.

76
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,160
I said, 'The prayer, O Messenger of Allah!'

77
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160
He replied, 'The prayer is ahead of you.'"

78
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,449
When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived

79
00:04:44,449 --> 00:04:46,449
At Muzdalifah,

80
00:04:46,449 --> 00:04:48,449
Which is al-Mash'ar al-Haram,

81
00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:51,449
He performed a thorough and complete ablution,

82
00:04:51,449 --> 00:04:54,449
And performed the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers there

83
00:04:54,449 --> 00:04:57,449
With a single Adhan and two Iqamahs,

84
00:04:57,449 --> 00:05:00,449
Without offering any voluntary prayer between them.

85
00:05:00,449 --> 00:05:03,449
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) lay down to rest

86
00:05:03,449 --> 00:05:06,509
Until the break of dawn.

87
00:05:06,509 --> 00:05:09,509
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

88
00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:12,509
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

89
00:05:12,509 --> 00:05:15,509
"He prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' there

90
00:05:15,509 --> 00:05:18,509
With a single Adhan and two Iqamahs,

91
00:05:18,509 --> 00:05:21,509
Without glorifying Allah [i.e., praying voluntary prayers] between them.

92
00:05:21,509 --> 00:05:24,509
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) lay down

93
00:05:24,509 --> 00:05:27,670
Until dawn broke."

94
00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:30,670
The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahihs

95
00:05:30,670 --> 00:05:33,670
On the authority of Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

96
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:36,670
"When he reached Muzdalifah,

97
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:39,670
He dismounted, performed ablution, and did so thoroughly.

98
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:42,670
Then the Iqamah was called for prayer,

99
00:05:42,670 --> 00:05:44,670
And he performed the Maghrib prayer;

100
00:05:44,670 --> 00:05:47,670
Then each person made his camel kneel at his campsite.

101
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:50,670
Then the Iqamah was called for 'Isha',

102
00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:53,670
And he prayed it without offering any prayer between the two."

103
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:56,699
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

104
00:05:56,699 --> 00:05:59,699
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

105
00:05:59,699 --> 00:06:02,699
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) combined

106
00:06:02,699 --> 00:06:05,699
Maghrib and 'Isha' at Jam' [Muzdalifah],

107
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:08,699
Each of them with a separate Iqamah,

108
00:06:08,699 --> 00:06:11,699
And he did not offer any voluntary prayers between them,

109
00:06:11,699 --> 00:06:14,699
Nor following either of them."

110
00:06:14,699 --> 00:06:21,259
The Standing of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

111
00:06:21,259 --> 00:06:24,259
At al-Mash'ar al-Haram,

112
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:27,259
Followed by his departure to Mina.

113
00:06:27,259 --> 00:06:31,089
When dawn broke,

114
00:06:31,089 --> 00:06:34,089
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arose

115
00:06:34,089 --> 00:06:37,089
And led the people in the dawn prayer at its earliest time,

116
00:06:37,089 --> 00:06:40,089
With an Adhan and an Iqamah.

117
00:06:40,089 --> 00:06:43,089
That was the Day of Sacrifice [Yawm an-Nahr],

118
00:06:43,089 --> 00:06:46,089
Which is the Day of the Greatest Pilgrimage [Yawm al-Hajj al-Akbar],

119
00:06:46,089 --> 00:06:49,089
And the day on which Allah's proclamation of disassociation

120
00:06:49,089 --> 00:06:52,089
And that of His Messenger from every polytheist was declared;

121
00:06:52,089 --> 00:06:55,089
And it was a Saturday.

122
00:06:55,089 --> 00:06:58,089
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

123
00:06:58,089 --> 00:07:01,089
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

124
00:07:01,089 --> 00:07:04,089
"He prayed the Fajr prayer when the dawn had clearly appeared to him,

125
00:07:04,089 --> 00:07:07,089
With an Adhan and an Iqamah.

126
00:07:07,089 --> 00:07:10,089
Then he mounted al-Qaswa'

127
00:07:11,089 --> 00:07:14,089
And faced the Qiblah,

128
00:07:14,089 --> 00:07:17,089
Supplicating Allah, magnifying Him, proclaiming His oneness, and declaring His uniqueness.

129
00:07:17,089 --> 00:07:20,250
He remained standing until the light of day became very bright,

130
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:23,250
And he departed before the sun rose."

131
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:26,250
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad

132
00:07:26,250 --> 00:07:29,250
And at-Tirmidhi in his Jami'

133
00:07:29,250 --> 00:07:32,250
With an authentic chain of transmission

134
00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:35,250
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

135
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:38,250
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed

136
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:42,250
Before sunrise."

137
00:07:42,250 --> 00:07:45,250
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) informed

138
00:07:45,250 --> 00:07:48,250
The people that the whole of Muzdalifah is a standing place.

139
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:51,410
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad

140
00:07:51,410 --> 00:07:54,410
With an authentic chain of transmission

141
00:07:54,410 --> 00:07:57,410
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

142
00:07:57,410 --> 00:08:00,410
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

143
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:03,410
"I have stood here,

144
00:08:03,410 --> 00:08:09,480
And all of Muzdalifah is a place of standing."

145
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480
Gathering the Pebbles for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

146
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,060
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed

147
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:19,060
Al-Fadl ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)

148
00:08:19,060 --> 00:08:22,060
On the morning of the Day of Sacrifice

149
00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:25,060
To gather the stoning pebbles for him,

150
00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:28,060
So he picked up seven pebbles of the size used for sling-shooting.

151
00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:31,149
Ibn Majah narrated in his Sunan

152
00:08:31,149 --> 00:08:34,149
With an authentic chain of transmission

153
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:37,149

154
00:08:37,149 --> 00:08:40,149
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me

155
00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:43,149
On the morning of 'Aqabah while upon his mount:

156
00:08:43,149 --> 00:08:46,149
"Gather pebbles for me."

157
00:08:46,149 --> 00:08:49,149
"So I gathered seven pebbles for him,

158
00:08:49,149 --> 00:08:52,149
Small pebbles suitable for sling-shooting.

159
00:08:52,149 --> 00:08:55,149
He began to shake them in his palm and say:

160
00:08:55,149 --> 00:08:58,149
'With pebbles like these, throw!'

161
00:08:58,149 --> 00:09:01,149
Then he said: 'O people,

162
00:09:01,149 --> 00:09:04,149
Beware of extremism in religion!'"

163
00:09:04,149 --> 00:09:09,940
The Stoning by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

164
00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:12,940
Of Jamrat al-'Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice.

165
00:09:12,940 --> 00:09:16,830
Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said:

166
00:09:16,830 --> 00:09:19,830
"Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took

167
00:09:19,830 --> 00:09:22,830
The middle road

168
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:25,830
Which exits at the Greatest Pillar [al-Jamrah al-Kubra],

169
00:09:25,830 --> 00:09:28,830
Until he reached the Jamrah that is near the tree.

170
00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:31,830
He stoned it with seven pebbles,

171
00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:34,830
Saying 'Allahu Akbar' with each pebble he threw."

172
00:09:34,830 --> 00:09:37,830
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

173
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:40,929
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both),

174
00:09:40,929 --> 00:09:43,929
Who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stoned

175
00:09:43,929 --> 00:09:46,929
The Jamrah on the Day of Sacrifice in the forenoon.

176
00:09:46,929 --> 00:09:49,929
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

177
00:09:49,929 --> 00:09:53,090
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both),

178
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:56,090
Who said: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

179
00:09:56,090 --> 00:09:59,090
Stoning while atop his mount on the Day

180
00:09:59,090 --> 00:10:02,090
Of Sacrifice,

181
00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:05,090
Stoning while atop his mount on the Day of Sacrifice,

182
00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:06,090
And he was saying:

183
00:10:06,090 --> 00:10:09,090
'Learn your pilgrimage rites from me,

184
00:10:09,090 --> 00:10:14,090
For I do not know whether I will perform Hajj after this Hajj of mine.'"

185
00:10:14,090 --> 00:10:17,220
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

186
00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:21,220
On the authority of Umm al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

187
00:10:21,220 --> 00:10:26,220
"I performed the Farewell Pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

188
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:30,220
And I saw him when he stoned Jamrat al-'Aqabah and turned away,

189
00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:34,220
While he was upon his mount accompanied by Bilal and Usamah,

190
00:10:34,220 --> 00:10:37,220
One of them leading his camel

191
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:44,220
And the other holding his garment over the head of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) to shield him from the sun."

192
00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:45,220
She said:

193
00:10:45,220 --> 00:10:50,220
"The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spoke at length,

194
00:10:50,220 --> 00:10:53,220
And then I heard him saying:

195
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:57,220
'If a mutilated black slave is appointed to rule over you,

196
00:10:57,220 --> 00:11:00,220
Leading you according to the Book of Allah the Exalted,

197
00:11:00,220 --> 00:11:03,220
Then listen to him and obey.'"

198
00:11:03,220 --> 00:11:11,870
The Departure of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to the Slaughterhouse at Mina.

199
00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:18,669
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) proceeded to the slaughtering place in Mina,

200
00:11:18,669 --> 00:11:21,669
and slaughtered his sacrificial camels with his own noble hand.

201
00:11:21,669 --> 00:11:24,769
Indeed, Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

202
00:11:24,769 --> 00:11:29,769
on the authority of Jabir Ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said:

203
00:11:29,769 --> 00:11:31,769
"He then proceeded to the slaughtering place,

204
00:11:31,769 --> 00:11:34,769
and slaughtered sixty-three camels with his own hand.

205
00:11:34,769 --> 00:11:37,769
Then he handed over the rest to 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him),

206
00:11:37,769 --> 00:11:39,769
who slaughtered what remained,

207
00:11:39,769 --> 00:11:41,769
that is, the rest of them,

208
00:11:41,769 --> 00:11:43,769
and he included him in his sacrificial offering.

209
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:46,769
Then he ordered that a piece of meat be taken from every camel—

210
00:11:46,769 --> 00:11:48,769
that is, a portion—

211
00:11:48,769 --> 00:11:51,769
which was placed in a pot and cooked,

212
00:11:51,769 --> 00:11:55,769
and both of them ate from its meat and drank from its broth."

213
00:11:55,769 --> 00:12:01,830
The sacrificial camels were brought close to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in successive groups.

214
00:12:01,830 --> 00:12:07,830
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad and Abu Dawud in his Sunan with an authentic chain of narration

215
00:12:07,830 --> 00:12:11,830
on the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Qurt (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

216
00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:17,830
"Five or six sacrificial camels were brought close to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),

217
00:12:17,830 --> 00:12:23,019
and they began crowding towards him, competing as to which of them he would begin with."

218
00:12:23,019 --> 00:12:26,279
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

219
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:30,279
on the authority of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

220
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:35,279
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) offered one hundred sacrificial camels,

221
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:38,279
and he ordered me to distribute their meat, so I distributed it.

222
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:42,279
Then he ordered me to distribute their saddle blankets, so I distributed them.

223
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:45,279
Then he ordered me to distribute their hides, so I distributed them."

224
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:50,279
(The *jilal* are the coverings or cloths placed over the back of a camel).

225
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,279
And the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their Sahihs, with the wording being Muslim's,

226
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:58,279
on the authority of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

227
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:04,279
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) commanded me to oversee his sacrificial camels,

228
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:09,279
and to give away in charity their meat, their hides, and their saddle blankets,

229
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,279
and not to give anything from them to the butcher as wages."

230
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:16,279
He added: "We pay him from our own funds."

231
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:20,370
*Al-Mukhtasar fi al-Sirah al-Nabawiyyah* (The Abridged Prophetic Biography):

232
00:13:20,370 --> 00:13:26,370
"Though people's longing for one another may endure,

233
00:13:26,370 --> 00:13:33,460
the longing for you is boundless beyond measure.

234
00:13:33,460 --> 00:13:40,039
May Allah send His blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

235
00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:48,970
and as long as lips move with everlasting remembrance."
