00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.000
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.620
The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah),

00:00:17.620 --> 00:00:24.980
Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid Al-'Azimi, may Allah preserve him.

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.

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,

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,

00:00:45.979 --> 00:00:48.979
Chanting the Talbiyah as he went,

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.

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.

00:00:57.979 --> 00:01:02.979
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) adopted a brisk walk (*al-'anaq*),

00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:05.980
Which is an intermediate pace between slow walking and hurrying.

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*.

00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:14.010
*An-nass* is a faster gait than ordinary walking.

00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:17.069
Whenever he came upon a sand dune,

00:01:17.069 --> 00:01:22.069
He loosened the reins of his camel slightly so that it could ascend.

00:01:22.069 --> 00:01:27.069
A *habl* is a massive, elongated ridge of sand.

00:01:27.069 --> 00:01:30.170
When he was on the road near the mountain pass,

00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:33.170
He (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted,

00:01:33.170 --> 00:01:36.170
Relieved himself, and performed a light ablution.

00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:39.170
Thereupon Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him,

00:01:39.170 --> 00:01:42.170
"The prayer, O Messenger of Allah!"

00:01:42.170 --> 00:01:45.170
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied,

00:01:45.170 --> 00:01:48.459
"The prayer is ahead of you."

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,

00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:56.459
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:01:56.459 --> 00:01:58.459
Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him)

00:01:58.459 --> 00:02:01.459
Was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:02:01.459 --> 00:02:04.459
From 'Arafah to Muzdalifah,

00:02:04.459 --> 00:02:07.459
Then he seated Al-Fadl behind him from Muzdalifah to Mina.

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:09.460
Both of them said:

00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:12.460
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continued

00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:16.520
Reciting the Talbiyah until he stoned Jamrat al-'Aqabah.

00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.520
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.520
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.520
While we were at Jam' [Muzdalifah],

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.520
I heard the one to whom Surat al-Baqarah was revealed saying in this place:

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.520
"Labbayk, Allahumma labbayk [Here I am, O Allah, here I am]."

00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.580
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:40.580
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:44.580
He remained standing until the sun set,

00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:48.580
And the yellow glow faded slightly until the disc of the sun disappeared.

00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:51.580
He seated Usamah behind him,

00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:54.580
And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) set forth,

00:02:54.580 --> 00:02:57.580
Having pulled the reins of al-Qaswa' so tightly

00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:01.580
That her head was touching the front part of his saddle,

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:03.580
While gesturing with his right hand:

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:07.580
"O people, maintain serenity, maintain serenity!"

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:10.650
Whenever he came upon a sand ridge,

00:03:10.650 --> 00:03:13.650
He eased the reins slightly for her so she could climb,

00:03:13.650 --> 00:03:16.650
Until he reached Muzdalifah.

00:03:16.650 --> 00:03:18.650
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad

00:03:18.650 --> 00:03:22.650
And Abu Dawud in his Sunan with an authentic chain of transmission

00:03:22.650 --> 00:03:26.650
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:03:26.650 --> 00:03:29.710
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed

00:03:29.710 --> 00:03:32.710
From 'Arafah with serenity,

00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:35.710
Accompanied by Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) riding behind him,

00:03:35.710 --> 00:03:40.710
And he said, "O people, you must maintain tranquility,

00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:44.710
For righteousness does not consist in spurring horses and camels to race."

00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:47.969
The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahihs

00:03:47.969 --> 00:03:50.969
On the authority of Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both),

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)

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000
Proceed during the Farewell Pilgrimage when he departed?"

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.060
He (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:05.060
"He used to proceed at a moderate pace (*al-'anaq*),

00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:08.099
And whenever he found an open space, he quickened his pace (*an-nass*)."

00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:11.099
The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahihs

00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:15.099
On the authority of Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:04:15.099 --> 00:04:18.100
"I rode behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:20.160
From 'Arafat.

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.160
When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) reached

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.160
The ravine on the left side before Muzdalifah,

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.160
He made his mount kneel and relieved himself.

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.160
Then he returned, and I poured water for his ablution,

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.160
So he performed a light ablution.

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.160
I said, 'The prayer, O Messenger of Allah!'

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.160
He replied, 'The prayer is ahead of you.'"

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.449
When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived

00:04:44.449 --> 00:04:46.449
At Muzdalifah,

00:04:46.449 --> 00:04:48.449
Which is al-Mash'ar al-Haram,

00:04:48.449 --> 00:04:51.449
He performed a thorough and complete ablution,

00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:54.449
And performed the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers there

00:04:54.449 --> 00:04:57.449
With a single Adhan and two Iqamahs,

00:04:57.449 --> 00:05:00.449
Without offering any voluntary prayer between them.

00:05:00.449 --> 00:05:03.449
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) lay down to rest

00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:06.509
Until the break of dawn.

00:05:06.509 --> 00:05:09.509
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:05:09.509 --> 00:05:12.509
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:05:12.509 --> 00:05:15.509
"He prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' there

00:05:15.509 --> 00:05:18.509
With a single Adhan and two Iqamahs,

00:05:18.509 --> 00:05:21.509
Without glorifying Allah [i.e., praying voluntary prayers] between them.

00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:24.509
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) lay down

00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:27.670
Until dawn broke."

00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:30.670
The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahihs

00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:33.670
On the authority of Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:05:33.670 --> 00:05:36.670
"When he reached Muzdalifah,

00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:39.670
He dismounted, performed ablution, and did so thoroughly.

00:05:39.670 --> 00:05:42.670
Then the Iqamah was called for prayer,

00:05:42.670 --> 00:05:44.670
And he performed the Maghrib prayer;

00:05:44.670 --> 00:05:47.670
Then each person made his camel kneel at his campsite.

00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:50.670
Then the Iqamah was called for 'Isha',

00:05:50.670 --> 00:05:53.670
And he prayed it without offering any prayer between the two."

00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:56.699
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

00:05:56.699 --> 00:05:59.699
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:02.699
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) combined

00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:05.699
Maghrib and 'Isha' at Jam' [Muzdalifah],

00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:08.699
Each of them with a separate Iqamah,

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:11.699
And he did not offer any voluntary prayers between them,

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:14.699
Nor following either of them."

00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:21.259
The Standing of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:24.259
At al-Mash'ar al-Haram,

00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:27.259
Followed by his departure to Mina.

00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:31.089
When dawn broke,

00:06:31.089 --> 00:06:34.089
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arose

00:06:34.089 --> 00:06:37.089
And led the people in the dawn prayer at its earliest time,

00:06:37.089 --> 00:06:40.089
With an Adhan and an Iqamah.

00:06:40.089 --> 00:06:43.089
That was the Day of Sacrifice [Yawm an-Nahr],

00:06:43.089 --> 00:06:46.089
Which is the Day of the Greatest Pilgrimage [Yawm al-Hajj al-Akbar],

00:06:46.089 --> 00:06:49.089
And the day on which Allah's proclamation of disassociation

00:06:49.089 --> 00:06:52.089
And that of His Messenger from every polytheist was declared;

00:06:52.089 --> 00:06:55.089
And it was a Saturday.

00:06:55.089 --> 00:06:58.089
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:06:58.089 --> 00:07:01.089
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:07:01.089 --> 00:07:04.089
"He prayed the Fajr prayer when the dawn had clearly appeared to him,

00:07:04.089 --> 00:07:07.089
With an Adhan and an Iqamah.

00:07:07.089 --> 00:07:10.089
Then he mounted al-Qaswa'

00:07:11.089 --> 00:07:14.089
And faced the Qiblah,

00:07:14.089 --> 00:07:17.089
Supplicating Allah, magnifying Him, proclaiming His oneness, and declaring His uniqueness.

00:07:17.089 --> 00:07:20.250
He remained standing until the light of day became very bright,

00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:23.250
And he departed before the sun rose."

00:07:23.250 --> 00:07:26.250
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad

00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:29.250
And at-Tirmidhi in his Jami'

00:07:29.250 --> 00:07:32.250
With an authentic chain of transmission

00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:35.250
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:07:35.250 --> 00:07:38.250
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed

00:07:39.250 --> 00:07:42.250
Before sunrise."

00:07:42.250 --> 00:07:45.250
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) informed

00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:48.250
The people that the whole of Muzdalifah is a standing place.

00:07:48.250 --> 00:07:51.410
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad

00:07:51.410 --> 00:07:54.410
With an authentic chain of transmission

00:07:54.410 --> 00:07:57.410
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:07:57.410 --> 00:08:00.410
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:08:00.410 --> 00:08:03.410
"I have stood here,

00:08:03.410 --> 00:08:09.480
And all of Muzdalifah is a place of standing."

00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.480
Gathering the Pebbles for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.060
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed

00:08:16.060 --> 00:08:19.060
Al-Fadl ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)

00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:22.060
On the morning of the Day of Sacrifice

00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:25.060
To gather the stoning pebbles for him,

00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:28.060
So he picked up seven pebbles of the size used for sling-shooting.

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:31.149
Ibn Majah narrated in his Sunan

00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:34.149
With an authentic chain of transmission

00:08:34.149 --> 00:08:37.149
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:08:37.149 --> 00:08:40.149
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me

00:08:40.149 --> 00:08:43.149
On the morning of 'Aqabah while upon his mount:

00:08:43.149 --> 00:08:46.149
"Gather pebbles for me."

00:08:46.149 --> 00:08:49.149
"So I gathered seven pebbles for him,

00:08:49.149 --> 00:08:52.149
Small pebbles suitable for sling-shooting.

00:08:52.149 --> 00:08:55.149
He began to shake them in his palm and say:

00:08:55.149 --> 00:08:58.149
'With pebbles like these, throw!'

00:08:58.149 --> 00:09:01.149
Then he said: 'O people,

00:09:01.149 --> 00:09:04.149
Beware of extremism in religion!'"

00:09:04.149 --> 00:09:09.940
The Stoning by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:12.940
Of Jamrat al-'Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice.

00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:16.830
Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said:

00:09:16.830 --> 00:09:19.830
"Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took

00:09:19.830 --> 00:09:22.830
The middle road

00:09:22.830 --> 00:09:25.830
Which exits at the Greatest Pillar [al-Jamrah al-Kubra],

00:09:25.830 --> 00:09:28.830
Until he reached the Jamrah that is near the tree.

00:09:28.830 --> 00:09:31.830
He stoned it with seven pebbles,

00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:34.830
Saying 'Allahu Akbar' with each pebble he threw."

00:09:34.830 --> 00:09:37.830
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:40.929
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both),

00:09:40.929 --> 00:09:43.929
Who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stoned

00:09:43.929 --> 00:09:46.929
The Jamrah on the Day of Sacrifice in the forenoon.

00:09:46.929 --> 00:09:49.929
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:09:49.929 --> 00:09:53.090
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both),

00:09:53.090 --> 00:09:56.090
Who said: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

00:09:56.090 --> 00:09:59.090
Stoning while atop his mount on the Day

00:09:59.090 --> 00:10:02.090
Of Sacrifice,

00:10:02.090 --> 00:10:05.090
Stoning while atop his mount on the Day of Sacrifice,

00:10:05.090 --> 00:10:06.090
And he was saying:

00:10:06.090 --> 00:10:09.090
'Learn your pilgrimage rites from me,

00:10:09.090 --> 00:10:14.090
For I do not know whether I will perform Hajj after this Hajj of mine.'"

00:10:14.090 --> 00:10:17.220
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:21.220
On the authority of Umm al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

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),

00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:30.220
And I saw him when he stoned Jamrat al-'Aqabah and turned away,

00:10:30.220 --> 00:10:34.220
While he was upon his mount accompanied by Bilal and Usamah,

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:37.220
One of them leading his camel

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."

00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:45.220
She said:

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:50.220
"The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spoke at length,

00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:53.220
And then I heard him saying:

00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:57.220
'If a mutilated black slave is appointed to rule over you,

00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:00.220
Leading you according to the Book of Allah the Exalted,

00:11:00.220 --> 00:11:03.220
Then listen to him and obey.'"

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.

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,

00:11:18.669 --> 00:11:21.669
and slaughtered his sacrificial camels with his own noble hand.

00:11:21.669 --> 00:11:24.769
Indeed, Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih

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:

00:11:29.769 --> 00:11:31.769
"He then proceeded to the slaughtering place,

00:11:31.769 --> 00:11:34.769
and slaughtered sixty-three camels with his own hand.

00:11:34.769 --> 00:11:37.769
Then he handed over the rest to 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:11:37.769 --> 00:11:39.769
who slaughtered what remained,

00:11:39.769 --> 00:11:41.769
that is, the rest of them,

00:11:41.769 --> 00:11:43.769
and he included him in his sacrificial offering.

00:11:43.769 --> 00:11:46.769
Then he ordered that a piece of meat be taken from every camel—

00:11:46.769 --> 00:11:48.769
that is, a portion—

00:11:48.769 --> 00:11:51.769
which was placed in a pot and cooked,

00:11:51.769 --> 00:11:55.769
and both of them ate from its meat and drank from its broth."

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.

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

00:12:07.830 --> 00:12:11.830
on the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Qurt (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

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),

00:12:17.830 --> 00:12:23.019
and they began crowding towards him, competing as to which of them he would begin with."

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:26.279
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih

00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.279
on the authority of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:35.279
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) offered one hundred sacrificial camels,

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.279
and he ordered me to distribute their meat, so I distributed it.

00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:42.279
Then he ordered me to distribute their saddle blankets, so I distributed them.

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.279
Then he ordered me to distribute their hides, so I distributed them."

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.279
(The *jilal* are the coverings or cloths placed over the back of a camel).

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,

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.279
on the authority of 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:04.279
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) commanded me to oversee his sacrificial camels,

00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:09.279
and to give away in charity their meat, their hides, and their saddle blankets,

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.279
and not to give anything from them to the butcher as wages."

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:16.279
He added: "We pay him from our own funds."

00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.370
*Al-Mukhtasar fi al-Sirah al-Nabawiyyah* (The Abridged Prophetic Biography):

00:13:20.370 --> 00:13:26.370
"Though people's longing for one another may endure,

00:13:26.370 --> 00:13:33.460
the longing for you is boundless beyond measure.

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:40.039
May Allah send His blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:48.970
and as long as lips move with everlasting remembrance."
