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

2
00:00:15,449 --> 00:00:18,449
The Mawaddah Association is pleased

3
00:00:18,449 --> 00:00:22,449
to present to you glimpses from the lives of the Companions.

4
00:00:22,449 --> 00:00:25,449
By Abd al-Rahman Ra'fat al-Basha,

5
00:00:25,449 --> 00:00:30,359
may Allah have mercy upon him.

6
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:33,460
Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib,

7
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:35,460
may Allah be pleased with him.

8
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:53,009
This noble Companion

9
00:00:53,009 --> 00:00:57,009
was a childhood peer of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

10
00:00:57,009 --> 00:01:01,009
back when they were two boys growing up in the mountain passes of Makkah.

11
00:01:01,009 --> 00:01:03,009
He was also his foster brother,

12
00:01:03,009 --> 00:01:06,010
as they were both nourished by the same breast.

13
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:10,010
He was connected to him by the strongest bonds of kinship.

14
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:13,010
That is Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib,

15
00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:17,010
the uncle of the Great Messenger, peace be upon him,

16
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:20,010
and the master of the martyrs of the Ummah.

17
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:26,010
Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib, at the time the Noble Messenger—upon him be the best of prayers and purest of salutations—was called to prophethood,

18
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:29,010
had just passed his fortieth year.

19
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:34,010
He was, at that time, a master among the prominent masters of Quraysh,

20
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:37,010
and a formidable leader among their elite.

21
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:40,010
Makkah held him in high regard,

22
00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:45,010
and its people held for him a love mingled with reverence and esteem.

23
00:01:45,010 --> 00:01:52,010
Despite the close bond between him and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

24
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:55,010
he did not pay much attention to his call,

25
00:01:55,010 --> 00:02:01,010
and he did not embrace Islam when the Messenger, peace be upon him, warned his closest kin.

26
00:02:01,010 --> 00:02:04,010
The Hashimite knight was a man of the hunt,

27
00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:07,010
finding in it his greatest pleasure,

28
00:02:07,010 --> 00:02:12,009
and exhausting his vibrant, surging energies in its pursuit.

29
00:02:12,009 --> 00:02:16,199
One day, while he was returning from his hunt,

30
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:19,199
with his bow slung over his shoulder and his spear in hand,

31
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:22,199
walking with a gait of pride and arrogance,

32
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,199
a bondwoman of Abd Allah ibn Jud'an intercepted him

33
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:27,199
and said to him,

34
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:34,199
"If you, O Abu 'Umarah, had heard what I heard of Abu al-Hakam’s insults toward your nephew Muhammad,

35
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,199
and had seen what I saw of his assault upon him,

36
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:40,199
you would have a different perspective today."

37
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:43,199
No sooner had her words touched his ears

38
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:48,199
than he was consumed with rage, his chest heaving with indignation.

39
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:53,199
He asked the girl if anyone had seen him while he was insulting him.

40
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:57,199
She replied, "Yes, many people saw him."

41
00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:00,199
The Hashimite knight turned back on his tracks

42
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,199
and headed toward al-Safa,

43
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:06,199
where Abu Jahl was sitting in the midst of a gathering of people.

44
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:13,229
He approached him and struck him with his bow, a blow that split his head and drew blood.

45
00:03:13,229 --> 00:03:16,229
Then, he declared his Islam before the witnesses,

46
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:21,229
and proclaimed the word: "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."

47
00:03:21,229 --> 00:03:23,229
He said, challenging them:

48
00:03:23,229 --> 00:03:25,229
"Here I am, I have embraced Islam.

49
00:03:25,229 --> 00:03:29,229
If it is within the power of Quraysh to turn me away from Islam,

50
00:03:29,229 --> 00:03:31,389
then let them try."

51
00:03:31,389 --> 00:03:34,389
When the Banu Makhzum saw the blood of their master, Abu Jahl,

52
00:03:34,389 --> 00:03:37,389
streaming from his head and covering his face,

53
00:03:37,389 --> 00:03:40,389
they rose up against Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib,

54
00:03:40,389 --> 00:03:42,389
wanting to harm him.

55
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:44,389
But Abu Jahl

56
00:03:44,389 --> 00:03:47,389
said to them, "Leave Abu 'Umarah alone,

57
00:03:47,389 --> 00:03:50,389
for I have indeed insulted his nephew,

58
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:54,460
when I reviled and cursed him before a crowd of people."

59
00:03:54,460 --> 00:03:56,460
In the blink of an eye,

60
00:03:56,460 --> 00:03:59,460
the news of Hamzah’s conversion spread throughout Makkah,

61
00:03:59,460 --> 00:04:03,460
and the news struck the polytheists like a thunderbolt.

62
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:07,460
As for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

63
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:12,460
you may speak as you wish of his joy at his uncle’s conversion, without restraint.

64
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:14,460
And as for the Muslims,

65
00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:20,459
say what you will of their delight at the addition of this Qurayshi leader to their ranks.

66
00:04:20,459 --> 00:04:26,459
For they had known no two days in Makkah more joyful to their hearts or dearer to their souls

67
00:04:26,459 --> 00:04:29,459
than the day of the conversion of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab,

68
00:04:29,459 --> 00:04:33,459
and the day of the conversion of Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib.

69
00:04:33,459 --> 00:04:34,459
No sooner had they embraced Islam

70
00:04:34,459 --> 00:04:39,459
than they resolved with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

71
00:04:39,459 --> 00:04:42,459
to go out to the Ka'bah and circumambulate it,

72
00:04:42,459 --> 00:04:47,519
and to perform their prayer there in the sight and presence of Quraysh.

73
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:51,519
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, responded to them,

74
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:57,519
and went out under their protection, one in front of him and the other behind him,

75
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:00,519
until he reached the Sacred Ka'bah.

76
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,519
He circumambulated the House seven times,

77
00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:06,519
and prayed the Dhuhr prayer there, safe and reassured.

78
00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:08,519
Then he departed to the House of al-Arqam,

79
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:11,519
while the eyes of Quraysh watched him,

80
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,519
and their hearts were torn with rage and malice toward him.

81
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:20,579
When the Messenger, peace be upon him, migrated to Madinah,

82
00:05:20,579 --> 00:05:25,579
the first banner he commissioned was for his uncle, Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib,

83
00:05:25,579 --> 00:05:28,579
and it was the first banner commissioned in Islam.

84
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:30,579
On the day of Badr,

85
00:05:30,579 --> 00:05:35,579
Hamzah fought the polytheists with the most intense and greatest of efforts.

86
00:05:35,579 --> 00:05:38,579
He was a heavy burden upon the polytheists,

87
00:05:38,579 --> 00:05:40,579
and a source of severe affliction for them.

88
00:05:40,579 --> 00:05:44,579
No sooner had the two hosts met on that glorious day

89
00:05:44,579 --> 00:05:47,579
than Hamzah emerged like a grey camel,

90
00:05:47,579 --> 00:05:51,579
having placed a mark on his chest to distinguish him from others,

91
00:05:51,579 --> 00:05:54,579
and to indicate him to anyone who sought him out.

92
00:05:54,579 --> 00:06:00,579
His mark was a red ostrich feather that he had fixed to his chest.

93
00:06:00,579 --> 00:06:03,579
Then, there emerged from the ranks of the polytheists

94
00:06:03,579 --> 00:06:06,579
al-Aswad ibn Abd al-Asad al-Makhzumi,

95
00:06:06,579 --> 00:06:09,579
a fierce man of ill character.

96
00:06:09,579 --> 00:06:12,579
He said, "I swear by al-Lat and al-'Uzza,

97
00:06:12,579 --> 00:06:15,579
I shall drink from the Muslims' cistern,

98
00:06:15,579 --> 00:06:17,579
or I shall destroy it,

99
00:06:17,579 --> 00:06:19,579
or I shall die before it."

100
00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:22,579
Hamzah, may Allah be pleased with him, stepped out to meet him,

101
00:06:22,579 --> 00:06:25,579
and struck him a blow that severed his leg.

102
00:06:25,579 --> 00:06:29,579
He fell on his back, with blood gushing from him,

103
00:06:30,579 --> 00:06:34,579
and he began to crawl toward the cistern to fulfill his oath,

104
00:06:34,579 --> 00:06:38,649
but Hamzah finished him off before he could reach his goal.

105
00:06:38,649 --> 00:06:41,649
Then, after him, emerged 'Utbah ibn Rabi'ah,

106
00:06:41,649 --> 00:06:44,649
accompanied by his brother Shaybah and his son al-Walid.

107
00:06:44,649 --> 00:06:48,649
When they stepped away from the ranks, they called for a duel.

108
00:06:48,649 --> 00:06:51,649
In the blink of an eye, there rose to meet them

109
00:06:51,649 --> 00:06:55,649
three young men from the Ansar, as straight as spear shafts.

110
00:06:55,649 --> 00:06:58,649
'Utbah said to them, "Who are you?"

111
00:06:58,649 --> 00:07:01,649
They replied, "A group from the Ansar."

112
00:07:01,649 --> 00:07:05,649
He said, "Go back; we have no need of you."

113
00:07:05,649 --> 00:07:07,649
Then they called out, "O Muhammad,

114
00:07:07,649 --> 00:07:10,649
bring out to us our peers from our own people."

115
00:07:10,649 --> 00:07:13,649
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

116
00:07:13,649 --> 00:07:16,649
"Rise, O 'Ubaydah ibn al-Harith,

117
00:07:16,649 --> 00:07:19,649
and rise, O Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib,

118
00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:22,649
and rise, O 'Ali ibn Abi Talib."

119
00:07:22,649 --> 00:07:26,649
'Utbah said, "Now, yes, these are noble peers."

120
00:07:26,649 --> 00:07:29,649
'Ali went out to al-Walid ibn 'Utbah,

121
00:07:29,649 --> 00:07:32,649
and they were two young men of similar age,

122
00:07:32,649 --> 00:07:33,649
and he killed him.

123
00:07:33,649 --> 00:07:35,649
Then Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib went out

124
00:07:35,649 --> 00:07:37,649
to Shaybah ibn Rabi'ah,

125
00:07:37,649 --> 00:07:40,649
and they were of similar age,

126
00:07:40,649 --> 00:07:41,649
and he killed him.

127
00:07:41,649 --> 00:07:43,649
And 'Ubaydah ibn al-Harith went out

128
00:07:43,649 --> 00:07:45,649
to 'Utbah ibn Rabi'ah,

129
00:07:45,649 --> 00:07:47,649
and they were two elderly men,

130
00:07:47,649 --> 00:07:48,649
and he killed him.

131
00:07:48,649 --> 00:07:52,649
Then 'Ubaydah was martyred, succumbing to his wounds.

132
00:07:52,649 --> 00:07:55,649
No sooner were the three champions of Quraysh killed

133
00:07:55,649 --> 00:07:57,649
in a matter of moments

134
00:07:57,649 --> 00:07:59,649
than the heat of the battle intensified.

135
00:07:59,649 --> 00:08:01,649
Hamzah fought with a ferocity

136
00:08:01,649 --> 00:08:03,649
that filled the hearts of the polytheists

137
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:05,649
with hatred for him and schemes against him.

138
00:08:05,649 --> 00:08:07,810
At Uhud,

139
00:08:07,810 --> 00:08:09,810
the polytheists wanted

140
00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:12,810
to take revenge on the killer of their men in general,

141
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:14,810
and they wanted

142
00:08:14,810 --> 00:08:16,810
to take revenge on Hamzah in particular,

143
00:08:16,810 --> 00:08:19,810
after he had humiliated their leaders at Badr

144
00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:22,810
and killed those of their chiefs who were killed.

145
00:08:22,810 --> 00:08:24,810
When Hamzah saw the defeat

146
00:08:24,810 --> 00:08:26,810
that had befallen the Muslims,

147
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:27,810
he surged and raged,

148
00:08:27,810 --> 00:08:29,810
and began to call out,

149
00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:32,809
"I am the Lion of Allah and the Lion of the Messenger of Allah,

150
00:08:32,809 --> 00:08:34,809
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

151
00:08:34,809 --> 00:08:36,809
O Allah, I disavow to You

152
00:08:36,809 --> 00:08:38,809
what these people have brought,"

153
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:41,809
meaning Abu Sufyan and his companions,

154
00:08:41,809 --> 00:08:44,809
"and I apologize to You for what these people have done,"

155
00:08:44,809 --> 00:08:46,809
meaning the scattering of the Muslims

156
00:08:46,809 --> 00:08:49,809
away from their Prophet, peace be upon him.

157
00:08:49,809 --> 00:08:52,809
He began to wield his sword right and left,

158
00:08:52,809 --> 00:08:54,809
until he attained martyrdom,

159
00:08:54,809 --> 00:08:56,809
treacherously, at the hands of

160
00:08:56,809 --> 00:08:59,809
an Abyssinian slave named Wahshi.

161
00:08:59,809 --> 00:09:01,970
When the women of the polytheists learned

162
00:09:01,970 --> 00:09:03,970
of the fall of the Muslim champions,

163
00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:05,970
led by the Lion of Allah,

164
00:09:05,970 --> 00:09:07,970
Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib,

165
00:09:07,970 --> 00:09:09,970
a group of them rushed forward,

166
00:09:09,970 --> 00:09:12,970
led by Hind bint 'Utbah,

167
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:14,970
whose father, brother,

168
00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:16,970
and uncle had been killed at Badr

169
00:09:16,970 --> 00:09:18,970
at the hands of Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib,

170
00:09:18,970 --> 00:09:20,970
'Ali ibn Abi Talib,

171
00:09:21,970 --> 00:09:23,970
and 'Ubaydah ibn al-Harith.

172
00:09:23,970 --> 00:09:25,970
She began to roam among the slain,

173
00:09:25,970 --> 00:09:28,970
disemboweling the bodies, gouging out eyes,

174
00:09:28,970 --> 00:09:31,970
cutting off ears, and mutilating noses.

175
00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:34,970
Then she made from the noses and ears

176
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:37,970
necklaces and anklets with which she adorned herself,

177
00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:39,970
and she gave her jewelry to Wahshi

178
00:09:39,970 --> 00:09:42,970
as a reward for killing Hamzah.

179
00:09:42,970 --> 00:09:46,970
When Hind reached Hamzah, may Allah be pleased with him,

180
00:09:46,970 --> 00:09:48,970
she split open his chest,

181
00:09:48,970 --> 00:09:50,970
tore out his liver, and chewed it,

182
00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:52,970
but she could not swallow it, so she spat it out.

183
00:09:52,970 --> 00:09:56,970
And from this, she was called "the eater of the liver."

184
00:09:56,970 --> 00:09:58,970
When the dust of battle settled,

185
00:09:58,970 --> 00:10:01,970
and the news of the mutilation of the Muslims spread,

186
00:10:01,970 --> 00:10:04,970
a deep sadness blanketed Madinah.

187
00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:07,970
Safiyyah bint Abd al-Muttalib,

188
00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:11,970
the aunt of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came forward

189
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:13,970
to see what had befallen her brother.

190
00:10:13,970 --> 00:10:16,970
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said

191
00:10:16,970 --> 00:10:18,970
to her son, al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam,

192
00:10:18,970 --> 00:10:20,970
"Meet her and turn her back,

193
00:10:20,970 --> 00:10:23,970
so that she does not see what has happened to her brother."

194
00:10:23,970 --> 00:10:25,970
He hurried to her and said,

195
00:10:25,970 --> 00:10:26,970
"O Mother,

196
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:29,970
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

197
00:10:29,970 --> 00:10:31,970
commands you to return."

198
00:10:31,970 --> 00:10:33,970
She said, "And why?

199
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,970
It has reached me that he was mutilated, just as my brother was.

200
00:10:35,970 --> 00:10:37,970
And that was for the sake of Allah.

201
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:41,970
By Allah, I shall remain patient and seek reward from Allah, if He wills.

202
00:10:41,970 --> 00:10:46,000
Al-Zubayr then informed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

203
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
of what she had said.

204
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
He replied,

205
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
"Let her pass."

206
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
She came to her brother,

207
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
looked at him,

208
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
prayed over him,

209
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
recited the *istirja'* (saying 'to Allah we belong'), and sought forgiveness for him.

210
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Then she said,

211
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,000
"These are two garments

212
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
I have brought to shroud him in."

213
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Al-Zubayr said,

214
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
"When we intended to shroud Hamza in them,

215
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
we found beside him a martyr from the Ansar

216
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
who had been mutilated just as Hamza had been.

217
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,000
We felt a sense of discomfort and modesty in shrouding Hamza in two garments

218
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
while the Ansari had no shroud at all.

219
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
So we said: one garment for Hamza,

220
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
and one garment for the Ansari."

221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,129
Then we looked,

222
00:11:29,129 --> 00:11:32,129
and one of the two garments was larger than the other.

223
00:11:32,129 --> 00:11:34,129
We drew lots between them,

224
00:11:34,129 --> 00:11:38,129
and we shrouded each of them in the garment that fell to his lot.

225
00:11:38,129 --> 00:11:41,129
Hamza was a tall man,

226
00:11:41,129 --> 00:11:43,129
so if the garment covered his head,

227
00:11:43,129 --> 00:11:44,129
his feet would be exposed,

228
00:11:44,129 --> 00:11:47,129
and if it covered his feet, his head would be exposed.

229
00:11:47,129 --> 00:11:49,129
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,

230
00:11:49,129 --> 00:11:52,129
"Cover his head with the garment,

231
00:11:52,129 --> 00:11:55,129
and place some leaves over his feet."

232
00:11:55,129 --> 00:12:01,129
Do not ask about the grief of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, for his uncle.

233
00:12:01,129 --> 00:12:06,129
For he, peace be upon him, looked upon a scene the likes of which he had never seen more painful.

234
00:12:06,129 --> 00:12:08,129
He said,

235
00:12:08,129 --> 00:12:10,129
"May the mercy of Allah be upon you.

236
00:12:10,129 --> 00:12:12,129
You were indeed one who maintained ties of kinship,

237
00:12:12,129 --> 00:12:14,129
and one who performed many good deeds."

238
00:12:14,129 --> 00:12:19,129
"By Allah, I shall surely mutilate seventy of them if I gain victory over them."

239
00:12:19,129 --> 00:12:24,129
Then Jibril descended upon him before he had left his place with the words of the Almighty,

240
00:12:24,129 --> 00:12:32,129
“If ye punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith ye were afflicted. But if ye endure patiently, verily it is better for the patient.” (16:126)

241
00:12:32,129 --> 00:12:39,129
“If ye punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith ye were afflicted. But if ye endure patiently, verily it is better for the patient.” (16:126)

242
00:12:39,129 --> 00:12:43,129
So the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, made expiation for his oath,

243
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:45,129
and refrained from that.

244
00:12:45,129 --> 00:12:49,129
The Messenger, peace be upon him, then gave orders regarding the martyrs,

245
00:12:49,129 --> 00:12:52,129
and they were buried in groups.

246
00:12:52,129 --> 00:12:53,129
He said,

247
00:12:53,129 --> 00:12:56,129
"See which of them had memorized the most Qur'an,

248
00:12:56,129 --> 00:12:59,129
and place him in front of his companions."

249
00:12:59,129 --> 00:13:02,129
Then he stood over them all and said,

250
00:13:02,129 --> 00:13:04,129
"I am a witness over these."

251
00:13:04,129 --> 00:13:07,129
"There is no one wounded in the cause of Allah

252
00:13:07,129 --> 00:13:12,129
but that Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection with his wound bleeding;

253
00:13:12,129 --> 00:13:14,129
the color will be the color of blood,

254
00:13:14,129 --> 00:13:16,129
and the scent will be the scent of musk."

255
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:21,320
When the Messenger, peace be upon him, had covered them with their earth,

256
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,320
he returned to Medina, sorrowful and grieving.

257
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,320
He passed by one of the houses of the Ansar from the tribe of Banu 'Abd al-Ashhal,

258
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,320
and heard the women weeping and wailing over their dead.

259
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,320
Their grief stirred his own grief,

260
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,320
and their anguish ignited his own.

261
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,320
Tears flowed from his noble eyes, and he said,

262
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,350
"But Hamza has no one to weep for him."

263
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:52,350
The men of the Ansar heard the words of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

264
00:13:52,350 --> 00:13:54,350
and it weighed heavily upon their hearts.

265
00:13:54,350 --> 00:14:00,350
They ordered their women to go to the house of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

266
00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:02,350
to weep for his uncle.

267
00:14:02,419 --> 00:14:08,419
When the Messenger, peace be upon him, heard their weeping for Hamza, he said,

268
00:14:08,419 --> 00:14:10,419
"May Allah have mercy on the Ansar.

269
00:14:10,419 --> 00:14:13,419
Return, may Allah have mercy on you.

270
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:16,419
You have indeed offered consolation and comfort."

271
00:14:16,419 --> 00:14:22,879
Hamza ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib is the Lion of Allah,

272
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:26,879
and the Lion of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

273
00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:30,909
and the master of the martyrs of the Muslims.
