00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:03.540
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:13.019
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:17.660
A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:22.780
Authored by Sheikh Musa bin Rashid al-Azimi.

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:24.940
May Allah preserve him.

00:00:24.940 --> 00:00:32.079
The Legislation of the Adhan.

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.600
The Adhan was legislated in the first year of the Hijrah.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.560
The two Sheikhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections,

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.000
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.200
When the Muslims arrived in Medina,

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.159
They would gather and estimate the time for prayer,

00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.159
As there was no call for it.

00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.020
One day, they discussed this matter.

00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:55.020
Some of them said,

00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:58.859
"Adopt a bell like the bell of the Christians."

00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.619
Others said,

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:03.579
"Rather, a horn like the horn of the Jews."

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:06.299
Then 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:10.140
"Will you not send a man to call for the prayer?"

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:13.900
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:18.049
"O Bilal, stand up and call for the prayer."

00:01:18.049 --> 00:01:20.849
In another narration in the two Sahihs,

00:01:20.849 --> 00:01:24.609
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:01:24.609 --> 00:01:26.609
When the number of people increased,

00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:31.250
They considered how to make the prayer time known by something they would recognize.

00:01:31.409 --> 00:01:36.510
They suggested lighting a fire or striking a bell.

00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:40.750
Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan with a sound (sahih) chain,

00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:42.909
On the authority of Abu 'Umayr bin Anas,

00:01:42.909 --> 00:01:45.709
From his paternal uncles among the Ansar,

00:01:45.709 --> 00:01:46.909
Who said:

00:01:46.909 --> 00:01:51.150
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was concerned about the prayer,

00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:53.629
And how to gather the people for it.

00:01:53.629 --> 00:01:55.150
It was suggested to him,

00:01:55.150 --> 00:01:58.430
"Raise a flag when the prayer time arrives;

00:01:58.430 --> 00:02:01.950
When they see it, they will inform one another."

00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:06.480
But he did not approve of that.

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:11.919
The Dream of 'Abdullah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.560
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad,

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.199
As did Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah,

00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.560
With the wording belonging to Ahmad, through a fair (hasan) chain,

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.879
On the authority of 'Abdullah bin Zayd bin 'Abd Rabbihi, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:26.000
Who said:

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.759
When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, resolved

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.240
To strike the bell

00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.479
To gather the people for prayer,

00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.840
While he disliked the practice of the Christians,

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.680
A visitor came to me in the night while I was sleeping,

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.639
A man wearing two green garments,

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.520
Carrying a bell in his hand.

00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:48.879
I said to him,

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.479
"O servant of Allah, will you sell the bell?"

00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.639
He said, "What will you do with it?"

00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.000
I said, "We will call to prayer with it."

00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.120
He said,

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.319
"Shall I not guide you to something better than that?"

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.080
I said, "Yes."

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.199
He said,

00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.400
"Say:

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.080
Allah is the Greatest,

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.919
Allah is the Greatest,

00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.680
Allah is the Greatest,

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.680
Allah is the Greatest,

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.120
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.639
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.479
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,

00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.509
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,

00:03:28.509 --> 00:03:32.580
Come to prayer,

00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:36.639
Come to success,

00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.639
Allah is the Greatest,

00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.770
There is no god but Allah."

00:03:43.770 --> 00:03:46.770
Then he stepped back a little and said,

00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:49.770
"Then say when you establish the prayer:

00:03:49.770 --> 00:03:52.770
Allah is the Greatest,

00:03:52.770 --> 00:03:56.770
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

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,

00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:15.659
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah."

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.

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."

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,

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

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

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

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."

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."

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.

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,

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

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'

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

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

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

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,

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

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

00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:48.680
Structure" means with precision and by spending lawful wealth, not by excessive decoration. I say: This

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,

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

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,

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:

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

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,

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).

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:

00:07:54.470 --> 00:08:01.470
Ibn Ishaq mentioned the clauses of this document, and even if its chain is not established,

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.

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.

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.
