35 00:01:58,430 --> 00:02:01,950 When they see it, they will inform one another." 36 00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:06,480 But he did not approve of that. 37 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,919 The Dream of 'Abdullah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him. 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,560 Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad, 39 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,199 As did Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah, 40 00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:20,560 With the wording belonging to Ahmad, through a fair (hasan) chain, 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,879 On the authority of 'Abdullah bin Zayd bin 'Abd Rabbihi, may Allah be pleased with him, 42 00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:26,000 Who said: 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,759 When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, resolved 44 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240 To strike the bell 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,479 To gather the people for prayer, 46 00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:37,840 While he disliked the practice of the Christians, 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,680 A visitor came to me in the night while I was sleeping, 48 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,639 A man wearing two green garments, 49 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,520 Carrying a bell in his hand. 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,879 I said to him, 51 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,479 "O servant of Allah, will you sell the bell?" 52 00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:54,639 He said, "What will you do with it?" 53 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,000 I said, "We will call to prayer with it." 54 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,120 He said, 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,319 "Shall I not guide you to something better than that?" 56 00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:04,080 I said, "Yes." 57 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,199 He said, 58 00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:06,400 "Say: 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,080 Allah is the Greatest, 60 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,919 Allah is the Greatest, 61 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,680 Allah is the Greatest, 62 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,680 Allah is the Greatest, 63 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,120 I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,639 I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, 65 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,479 I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, 66 00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:28,509 I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, 67 00:03:28,509 --> 00:03:32,580 Come to prayer, 68 00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:36,639 Come to success, 69 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:40,639 Allah is the Greatest, 70 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:43,770 There is no god but Allah." 71 00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:46,770 Then he stepped back a little and said, 72 00:03:46,770 --> 00:03:49,770 "Then say when you establish the prayer: 73 00:03:49,770 --> 00:03:52,770 Allah is the Greatest, 74 00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:56,770 I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, 75 00:03:56,770 --> 00:04:08,919 I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, come to prayer, come to success, the prayer has begun, the prayer has begun, 76 00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:15,659 Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah." 77 00:04:15,659 --> 00:04:24,750 He said: When morning came, I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and informed him of what I had seen. 78 00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:32,509 The Messenger of Allah said, "This is a true vision, if Allah wills. Then command the Adhan." 79 00:04:32,509 --> 00:04:41,230 So Bilal, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, began to call the Adhan. In a narration by Ibn Majah, the Messenger of Allah, 80 00:04:41,230 --> 00:04:47,730 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to 'Abdullah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, "Go out with Bilal 81 00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:57,569 To the mosque and dictate it to him, for he has a louder voice than you." He said: So I went out with 82 00:04:57,569 --> 00:05:05,810 Bilal to the mosque, and I began to dictate it to him while he called it out. 'Umar bin al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, heard 83 00:05:05,810 --> 00:05:13,649 The voice and came out, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I have seen the same as what he saw." 84 00:05:14,209 --> 00:05:22,009 Abu Dawud added: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, "To Allah belongs all praise." 85 00:05:22,009 --> 00:05:31,120 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded the building of mosques in the villages. 86 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:39,350 Imam al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud narrated with a sound chain on the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 87 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:46,870 Who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded the building of mosques in the neighborhoods, and that 88 00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:55,199 They be kept clean and perfumed. Imam al-Tirmidhi said: Sufyan said, "His saying 'in the neighborhoods' 89 00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:03,230 Means the tribes." Imam al-Dhahabi said: "The neighborhood (dar) is the village, and the neighborhood of 90 00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:10,550 Bani 'Awf is Quba." Thus, the construction of his mosque, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, took place in Bani Malik 91 00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:19,040 bin al-Najjar, which was a small village. Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad with a fair chain on the authority of 92 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,959 'Urwah bin al-Zubayr, from one who narrated to him from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 93 00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:32,480 Who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to command us to build mosques 94 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:40,759 In our neighborhoods, to maintain their structure, and to keep them clean. Al-Sindi said: His saying "maintain their 95 00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:48,680 Structure" means with precision and by spending lawful wealth, not by excessive decoration. I say: This 96 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:57,250 Command was in the first year of the Hijrah. The writing of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 97 00:06:57,250 --> 00:07:06,810 Of the document and the peace treaty with the Jews. Ibn Ishaq said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wrote 98 00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:13,850 A document between the Muhajirun and the Ansar, in which he made peace with the Jews and entered into a covenant with them, 99 00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:21,910 Confirming them in their religion and their wealth, stipulating conditions for them and upon them. Imam [Ibn Ishaq] said: 100 00:07:22,670 --> 00:07:30,189 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, made peace with the Jews who were in Medina and wrote 101 00:07:30,189 --> 00:07:37,310 A document between himself and them. Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih on the authority of Jabir bin 'Abdullah, 102 00:07:37,310 --> 00:07:45,029 May Allah be pleased with them both, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wrote that every clan is responsible for its own blood money (diya). 103 00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:54,470 The "clan" (batn) is a group smaller than a tribe and larger than a family unit, and "blood money" (uqul) refers to the compensations. I say: 104 00:07:54,470 --> 00:08:01,470 Ibn Ishaq mentioned the clauses of this document, and even if its chain is not established, 105 00:08:01,470 --> 00:08:10,389 It is confirmed in the events of the Prophetic biography that its clauses are authentic. A Concise Summary of the Seerah. 106 00:08:11,389 --> 00:08:24,519 If the longing of the worlds for some is long, the longing for you has no limit. 107 00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:40,080 May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call is raised and lips move with the remainder.
