00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:12.949
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:12.949 --> 00:00:17.510
A Summary of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:24.219
The first blood shed in Islam.

00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:29.179
When the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would pray,

00:00:29.179 --> 00:00:34.090
they would go to the mountain passes to perform their prayers in secret, away from their people.

00:00:34.130 --> 00:00:37.929
While Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:42.369
was with a group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah,

00:00:42.369 --> 00:00:45.009
in one of the mountain passes of Makkah,

00:00:45.009 --> 00:00:49.329
a group of polytheists appeared upon them while they were praying.

00:00:49.329 --> 00:00:54.850
They disapproved of them and criticized what they were doing, until they fought them.

00:00:54.850 --> 00:00:59.049
On that day, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas struck

00:00:59.049 --> 00:01:03.450
a man from among the polytheists with a camel's jawbone, wounding him.

00:01:03.490 --> 00:01:07.329
Thus, he was the first to shed blood in Islam.

00:01:07.329 --> 00:01:10.769
Al-Hakim recorded this in Al-Mustadrak with an authentic chain of narration,

00:01:10.769 --> 00:01:13.650
on the authority of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, who said:

00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:17.209
"Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:01:17.209 --> 00:01:21.209
was the first to shed blood in the cause of Allah."

00:01:21.209 --> 00:01:24.209
This news reached the Quraysh,

00:01:24.209 --> 00:01:26.489
but they did not pay it much attention.

00:01:26.489 --> 00:01:30.650
Perhaps they considered Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:01:30.650 --> 00:01:34.010
to be one of those religious seekers who speak

00:01:34.010 --> 00:01:36.689
about divinity and its rights,

00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:40.849
just as Umayyah ibn Abi al-Salt, Quss ibn Sa'idah,

00:01:40.849 --> 00:01:44.409
Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl, and their likes had done.

00:01:44.409 --> 00:01:49.930
However, they felt a sense of apprehension regarding the spread of his message and the growth of his influence,

00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:54.799
and they began to monitor the fate of his call as the days passed.

00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.560
Three years passed,

00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.239
and the call remained secret and individual.

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.359
During this period,

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.120
a community of believers was formed,

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.840
based on brotherhood and cooperation,

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.960
and the conveying and establishing of the message in its rightful place.

00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.479
Then, revelation descended upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.919
commanding him to proclaim the call.

00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:25.479
A Summary of the Prophetic biography.

00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.520
Authored by Shaykh

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.340
Musa bin Rashid al-'Azimi,

00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:36.259
and presented by the Mawaddah Association in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:05.360
May Allah grant healing.
