WEBVTT 00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:06.599 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:18.940 And the city of Medina was plunged into darkness. 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. 00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:27.940 His longing for the house of ‘A’ishah. 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:34.179 ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says: 00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:38.179 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:00:38.179 --> 00:00:42.179 Used to ask during the illness in which he passed away: 00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:45.179 "Where am I tomorrow? Where am I tomorrow?" 00:00:45.179 --> 00:00:48.539 He was seeking the day that belonged to ‘A’ishah. 00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:52.539 So his wives permitted him to be wherever he wished. 00:00:52.539 --> 00:00:55.630 Thus, he stayed in the house of ‘A’ishah, 00:00:55.630 --> 00:00:59.049 Until he passed away in her care. 00:00:59.049 --> 00:01:02.049 In the narration of Abu Dawud: 00:01:02.049 --> 00:01:08.239 The manner in which the Prophet, peace be upon him, sought permission from his wives. 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.530 ‘A’ishah said: 00:01:10.530 --> 00:01:13.530 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:15.530 Sent for his wives, 00:01:15.530 --> 00:01:17.530 Meaning during his illness, 00:01:17.530 --> 00:01:19.530 And they gathered. 00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:21.530 He said: 00:01:21.530 --> 00:01:25.590 "I am no longer able to rotate among you." 00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:30.590 "If you see fit to permit me to stay with ‘A’ishah," 00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:32.590 "Then do so." 00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:35.140 So they gave him permission. 00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:37.299 ‘A’ishah said: 00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:42.359 Even on the day that was my turn in my house, 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.359 Allah took his soul, 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.359 While his head was between my chest and my neck, 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:54.739 And his saliva mingled with mine, peace be upon him. 00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:57.739 ‘A’ishah describes in a poignant image, 00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:01.739 How the Prophet, peace be upon him, was moved, 00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:04.739 From the house of Maymunah to her own house. 00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:06.969 She says: 00:02:06.969 --> 00:02:09.969 The Prophet, peace be upon him, became very heavy, 00:02:09.969 --> 00:02:13.030 And his pain intensified. 00:02:13.030 --> 00:02:17.030 He sought permission from his wives to be nursed in my house, 00:02:17.030 --> 00:02:19.319 And they permitted him. 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.319 So the Prophet, peace be upon him, went out, 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.319 Supported by two men, 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.379 His feet dragging on the ground, 00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:30.379 Between ‘Abbas and another man. 00:02:30.379 --> 00:02:33.800 In the narration of Muslim: 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.800 On the authority of ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Utbah, 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.800 Who was informed by ‘A’ishah, she said: 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.800 The first time the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, fell ill, 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.990 Was in the house of Maymunah. 00:02:47.990 --> 00:02:51.990 He asked his wives for permission to be nursed in her house, 00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:53.990 And they permitted him. 00:02:53.990 --> 00:02:58.219 He went out, leaning on al-Fadl ibn ‘Abbas, 00:02:58.219 --> 00:03:01.219 And leaning on another man, 00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:05.539 While his feet were dragging on the ground. 00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:07.539 ‘Ubayd Allah said: 00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:10.539 I recounted this to Ibn ‘Abbas, 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?" 00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:17.539 "It is ‘Ali." 00:03:17.539 --> 00:03:19.919 Ibn Hajar said: 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.919 Ibn al-Tin said: 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.919 Meaning he was asking how much time remained until her day. 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.949 Because a sick person finds a sense of comfort with some of his family, 00:03:29.949 --> 00:03:33.719 That he does not find with others. 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:39.719 The hadith illustrates the severity of the Prophet’s, peace be upon him, condition that day, 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. 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.139 His wives began to nurse him, 00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:54.139 They nursed him, and the Muslims nursed him, 00:03:54.139 --> 00:03:59.139 All of them deeply distressed by the approach of those difficult moments. 00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:06.389 It had been the habit of the Prophet, peace be upon him, before this illness, 00:04:06.389 --> 00:04:09.389 To pray for himself and recite ruqyah over himself. 00:04:09.389 --> 00:04:14.460 As ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, explained, saying: 00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:19.459 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, whenever he felt pain, 00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:24.550 Would recite the protective surahs (al-Mu'awwidhat) over himself and blow gently. 00:04:24.550 --> 00:04:29.550 She said: "When his pain intensified, I began to recite over him," 00:04:29.550 --> 00:04:34.550 "And I would wipe him with his own right hand, hoping for its blessing." 00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:38.100 It was as if he, peace be upon him, 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:46.100 Was no longer able to even recite over himself, peace be upon him, at that time. 00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:50.420 Regarding his nursing, peace be upon him, 00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:54.420 ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrates the following report, 00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:57.420 As ‘Urwah narrates it from her. 00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:00.800 ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr says: 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, 00:05:07.829 --> 00:05:11.829 Said after he entered his house and his pain intensified: 00:05:11.829 --> 00:05:17.899 "Pour over me from seven water skins whose knots have not been untied," 00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:20.899 "So that I may give counsel to the people." 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," 00:05:28.930 --> 00:05:33.060 "Then we began to pour water over him from those skins," 00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:39.060 "Until he began to signal to us with his hand that we had done enough." 00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:45.149 She said: "Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, went out to the people," 00:05:45.149 --> 00:05:48.149 "And he led them in prayer and delivered a sermon to them." 00:05:48.149 --> 00:05:54.500 So what were those words in those precious minutes? 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, 00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:05.500 For the final time. 00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:08.689 And the city of Medina was plunged into darkness.
