1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,439
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:12,929
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:12,929 --> 00:00:17,489
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

4
00:00:17,489 --> 00:00:28,879
The conversion to Islam of Iyas Ibn Mu'adh al-Ashhali, may Allah be pleased with him.

5
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:32,479
Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, embraced Islam.

6
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,640
He was the very first among the Ansar to accept Islam.

7
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:40,799
The story of his conversion was narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad.

8
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:44,240
And by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak with a hasan (sound) chain of narration.

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,159
On the authority of Mahmud Ibn Labid, a brother of the Banu 'Abd al-Ashhal.

10
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,560
He said: When Abu al-Haysar,

11
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,000
Anas Ibn Rafi', came to Makkah,

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,399
Accompanied by some young men from the Banu 'Abd al-Ashhal,

13
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:00,880
Among whom was Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him,

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,790
Seeking an alliance with the Quraysh against their rivals, the Khazraj.

15
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:10,030
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, heard of them.

16
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:12,670
He came to them and sat with them.

17
00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:17,590
He said: "Would you like something better than what you have come for?"

18
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:19,790
They asked: "And what is that?"

19
00:01:19,790 --> 00:01:23,390
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

20
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:25,510
"I am the Messenger of Allah.

21
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:31,709
He sent me to His servants to call them to worship Allah alone, associating nothing with Him.

22
00:01:31,709 --> 00:01:34,269
And He has revealed a Book to me."

23
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:36,390
Then he spoke to them about Islam.

24
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:39,310
And he recited the Qur'an to them.

25
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:42,670
Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, said—

26
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:45,310
For he was a young lad—

27
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:46,709
"O my people,

28
00:01:46,709 --> 00:01:50,420
By Allah, this is better than what you have come for."

29
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:54,980
He said: Abu al-Haysar then took a handful of gravel,

30
00:01:54,980 --> 00:01:59,459
And struck the face of Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, with it,

31
00:01:59,459 --> 00:02:02,340
Saying: "Leave us be!

32
00:02:02,379 --> 00:02:05,459
By my life, we have come for something other than this."

33
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:07,540
Iyas fell silent.

34
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:11,580
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood up,

35
00:02:11,580 --> 00:02:13,860
And they returned to Madinah.

36
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:18,099
Then the Battle of Bu'ath took place between the Aws and the Khazraj.

37
00:02:18,099 --> 00:02:19,300
He said:

38
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:24,680
Not long after, Iyas Ibn Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, passed away.

39
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,000
Mahmud Ibn Labid said:

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,759
Those of my people who were present at his death informed me,

41
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:35,520
That they kept hearing him declaring the oneness of Allah (tahlil), magnifying Him (takbir),

42
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,319
Praising Him (tahmid), and glorifying Him (tasbih) until he died.

43
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:43,500
They had no doubt that he had died a Muslim.

44
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:47,740
He had truly embraced the spirit of Islam in that gathering,

45
00:02:47,740 --> 00:02:52,780
When he heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, what he heard.

46
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:59,560
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

47
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:04,379
Authored by Shaykh Musa Balrashid al-'Azimi.

48
00:03:04,379 --> 00:03:11,219
And presented by the Mawaddah Association in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

49
00:03:11,219 --> 00:03:18,139
If the longing of the worlds for one another grows long,

50
00:03:18,139 --> 00:03:25,180
The longing for you is boundless.

51
00:03:25,219 --> 00:03:31,659
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

52
00:03:31,659 --> 00:03:38,069
And as long as the lips move,

53
00:03:38,069 --> 00:03:39,710
In remembrance.
