1 00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:06,599 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:18,940 And the city of Medina was plunged into darkness. 3 00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:23,940 The nursing of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in the homes of his wives. 4 00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:27,940 His longing for the house of ‘A’ishah. 5 00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:34,179 ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: 6 00:00:34,179 --> 00:00:38,179 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 7 00:00:38,179 --> 00:00:42,179 Used to ask during the illness in which he passed away: 8 00:00:43,179 --> 00:00:45,179 "Where am I tomorrow? Where am I tomorrow?" 9 00:00:45,179 --> 00:00:48,539 He was seeking the day that belonged to ‘A’ishah. 10 00:00:48,539 --> 00:00:52,539 So his wives permitted him to be wherever he wished. 11 00:00:52,539 --> 00:00:55,630 Thus, he stayed in the house of ‘A’ishah, 12 00:00:55,630 --> 00:00:59,049 Until he passed away in her care. 13 00:00:59,049 --> 00:01:02,049 In the narration of Abu Dawud: 14 00:01:02,049 --> 00:01:08,239 The manner in which the Prophet, peace be upon him, sought permission from his wives. 15 00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:10,530 ‘A’ishah said: 16 00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:13,530 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 17 00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:15,530 Sent for his wives, 18 00:01:15,530 --> 00:01:17,530 Meaning during his illness, 19 00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:19,530 And they gathered. 20 00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:21,530 He said: 21 00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:25,590 "I am no longer able to rotate among you." 22 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:30,590 "If you see fit to permit me to stay with ‘A’ishah," 23 00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:32,590 "Then do so." 24 00:01:32,590 --> 00:01:35,140 So they gave him permission. 25 00:01:35,140 --> 00:01:37,299 ‘A’ishah said: 26 00:01:37,299 --> 00:01:42,359 Even on the day that was my turn in my house, 27 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:44,359 Allah took his soul, 28 00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:48,359 While his head was between my chest and my neck, 29 00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:54,739 And his saliva mingled with mine, peace be upon him. 30 00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:57,739 ‘A’ishah describes in a poignant image, 31 00:01:57,739 --> 00:02:01,739 How the Prophet, peace be upon him, was moved, 32 00:02:01,739 --> 00:02:04,739 From the house of Maymunah to her own house. 33 00:02:04,739 --> 00:02:06,969 She says: 34 00:02:06,969 --> 00:02:09,969 The Prophet, peace be upon him, became very heavy, 35 00:02:09,969 --> 00:02:13,030 And his pain intensified. 36 00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:17,030 He sought permission from his wives to be nursed in my house, 37 00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:19,319 And they permitted him. 38 00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:22,319 So the Prophet, peace be upon him, went out, 39 00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:24,319 Supported by two men, 40 00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:27,379 His feet dragging on the ground, 41 00:02:27,379 --> 00:02:30,379 Between ‘Abbas and another man. 42 00:02:30,379 --> 00:02:33,800 In the narration of Muslim: 43 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,800 On the authority of ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Utbah, 44 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,800 Who was informed by ‘A’ishah, she said: 45 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,800 The first time the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, fell ill, 46 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,990 Was in the house of Maymunah. 47 00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:51,990 He asked his wives for permission to be nursed in her house, 48 00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:53,990 And they permitted him. 49 00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:58,219 He went out, leaning on al-Fadl ibn ‘Abbas, 50 00:02:58,219 --> 00:03:01,219 And leaning on another man, 51 00:03:01,219 --> 00:03:05,539 While his feet were dragging on the ground. 52 00:03:05,539 --> 00:03:07,539 ‘Ubayd Allah said: 53 00:03:07,539 --> 00:03:10,539 I recounted this to Ibn ‘Abbas, 54 00:03:10,539 --> 00:03:16,539 And he said: "Do you know who the other man is, whom ‘A’ishah did not name?" 55 00:03:16,539 --> 00:03:17,539 "It is ‘Ali." 56 00:03:17,539 --> 00:03:19,919 Ibn Hajar said: 57 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,919 Ibn al-Tin said: 58 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,919 Meaning he was asking how much time remained until her day. 59 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,949 Because a sick person finds a sense of comfort with some of his family, 60 00:03:29,949 --> 00:03:33,719 That he does not find with others. 61 00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:39,719 The hadith illustrates the severity of the Prophet’s, peace be upon him, condition that day, 62 00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:46,719 To the point that he, peace be upon him, was unable to walk between the houses of his wives. 63 00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:50,139 His wives began to nurse him, 64 00:03:50,139 --> 00:03:54,139 They nursed him, and the Muslims nursed him, 65 00:03:54,139 --> 00:03:59,139 All of them deeply distressed by the approach of those difficult moments. 66 00:03:59,139 --> 00:04:06,389 It had been the habit of the Prophet, peace be upon him, before this illness, 67 00:04:06,389 --> 00:04:09,389 To pray for himself and recite ruqyah over himself. 68 00:04:09,389 --> 00:04:14,460 As ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, explained, saying: 69 00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:19,459 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, whenever he felt pain, 70 00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:24,550 Would recite the protective surahs (al-Mu'awwidhat) over himself and blow gently. 71 00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:29,550 She said: "When his pain intensified, I began to recite over him," 72 00:04:29,550 --> 00:04:34,550 "And I would wipe him with his own right hand, hoping for its blessing." 73 00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:38,100 It was as if he, peace be upon him, 74 00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:46,100 Was no longer able to even recite over himself, peace be upon him, at that time. 75 00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:50,420 Regarding his nursing, peace be upon him, 76 00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:54,420 ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrates the following report, 77 00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:57,420 As ‘Urwah narrates it from her. 78 00:04:57,420 --> 00:05:00,800 ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr says: 79 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,829 ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, used to relate that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 80 00:05:07,829 --> 00:05:11,829 Said after he entered his house and his pain intensified: 81 00:05:11,829 --> 00:05:17,899 "Pour over me from seven water skins whose knots have not been untied," 82 00:05:17,899 --> 00:05:20,899 "So that I may give counsel to the people." 83 00:05:20,899 --> 00:05:28,930 She said: "So we seated him in a tub belonging to Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him," 84 00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:33,060 "Then we began to pour water over him from those skins," 85 00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:39,060 "Until he began to signal to us with his hand that we had done enough." 86 00:05:39,060 --> 00:05:45,149 She said: "Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, went out to the people," 87 00:05:45,149 --> 00:05:48,149 "And he led them in prayer and delivered a sermon to them." 88 00:05:48,149 --> 00:05:54,500 So what were those words in those precious minutes? 89 00:05:54,500 --> 00:06:02,500 In which the Prophet, peace be upon him, ascended to the most beloved of places in the hearts of the believers, 90 00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:05,500 For the final time. 91 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:08,689 And the city of Medina was plunged into darkness.
