00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,520
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,929
Treasures of the Prophetic biography.

3
00:00:06,929 --> 00:00:15,699
The proofs of his prophethood, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

4
00:00:15,699 --> 00:00:22,129
These are very numerous, and we shall mention some of them.

5
00:00:22,129 --> 00:00:25,010
Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, says:

6
00:00:25,010 --> 00:00:29,969
"The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split."

7
00:00:29,969 --> 00:00:33,490
"And if they see a sign, they turn away,"

8
00:00:33,490 --> 00:00:37,009
"and say, 'A continuous magic.'"

9
00:00:37,009 --> 00:00:41,810
"They denied and followed their own desires,"

10
00:00:41,810 --> 00:00:45,250
"and every matter is settled."

11
00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:53,649
“And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter,” (54:4)

12
00:00:53,649 --> 00:00:56,130
"A profound wisdom."

13
00:00:56,130 --> 00:01:01,100
"But warnings do not avail, so turn away from them."

14
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:02,939
The scholars have reached a consensus

15
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:07,579
that the moon split for the Prophet, peace be upon him.

16
00:01:07,579 --> 00:01:10,859
The hadiths regarding this are very numerous.

17
00:01:10,859 --> 00:01:13,739
Among them is what Imam al-Bukhari recorded

18
00:01:13,739 --> 00:01:16,620
on the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

19
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:21,180
"The people of Makkah asked the Prophet, peace be upon him, for a sign,"

20
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:24,379
"so the moon split in Makkah into two parts."

21
00:01:24,379 --> 00:01:30,140
He said: "The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split."

22
00:01:30,219 --> 00:01:33,819
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

23
00:01:33,819 --> 00:01:37,099
"A man entered the mosque on a Friday"

24
00:01:37,099 --> 00:01:40,219
"through a door facing the pulpit,"

25
00:01:40,219 --> 00:01:45,019
"while the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was standing and delivering the sermon."

26
00:01:45,019 --> 00:01:49,819
"He stood facing the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

27
00:01:49,819 --> 00:01:52,780
"and said: 'O Messenger of Allah,'"

28
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:56,620
"'wealth has been destroyed and the paths are cut off,'"

29
00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:59,420
"'so supplicate to Allah for us to grant us rain.'"

30
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:00,859
Anas said:

31
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:04,620
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, raised his hands"

32
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:07,819
"and said: 'O Allah, grant us rain!'"

33
00:02:07,819 --> 00:02:09,740
"'O Allah, grant us rain!'"

34
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:12,060
"'O Allah, grant us rain!'"

35
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:13,659
Anas said:

36
00:02:13,659 --> 00:02:19,020
"By Allah, we did not see a single cloud or patch of mist in the sky, nor anything at all,"

37
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:23,180
"and there was no house or dwelling between us and the mountain of Sal'."

38
00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:27,099
"Then a cloud appeared from behind it like a shield,"

39
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:29,500
"and when it reached the middle of the sky,"

40
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:31,900
"it spread out and then rained."

41
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:35,979
He said: "By Allah, we did not see the sun for six,"

42
00:02:35,979 --> 00:02:38,060
meaning six days.

43
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:42,539
"Then a man entered through that same door on the following Friday,"

44
00:02:42,539 --> 00:02:47,259
"while the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was standing and delivering the sermon."

45
00:02:47,259 --> 00:02:50,060
"He stood facing him and said:"

46
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:51,900
"'O Messenger of Allah,'"

47
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:55,099
"'wealth has been destroyed and the paths are cut off,'"

48
00:02:55,099 --> 00:02:57,580
"'supplicate to Allah to hold it back.'"

49
00:02:57,580 --> 00:02:58,699
He said:

50
00:02:58,699 --> 00:03:03,979
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, raised his hands and said:"

51
00:03:03,979 --> 00:03:07,180
"'O Allah, around us and not upon us!'"

52
00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:12,860
"'O Allah, upon the hills, the mountains, the valleys, and the places where trees grow!'"

53
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:14,060
He said:

54
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:17,939
"It stopped, and we went out walking in the sun."

55
00:03:17,939 --> 00:03:19,419
Sharik said:

56
00:03:19,419 --> 00:03:21,259
"I asked Anas:"

57
00:03:21,259 --> 00:03:24,219
"'Is he the same man who asked the first time?'"

58
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,460
"He said: 'I do not know.'"

59
00:03:27,460 --> 00:03:30,099
And on his authority, may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

60
00:03:30,099 --> 00:03:33,620
"I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

61
00:03:33,620 --> 00:03:35,860
"when the time for the Asr prayer arrived,"

62
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:39,460
"and the people sought water for ablution but could not find any."

63
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:43,939
"Then water for ablution was brought to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

64
00:03:43,939 --> 00:03:49,460
"and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, placed his hand in that water,"

65
00:03:49,460 --> 00:03:52,530
"and commanded the people to perform ablution from it."

66
00:03:52,530 --> 00:03:56,050
"I saw water gushing from beneath his fingers,"

67
00:03:56,050 --> 00:04:01,550
"and the people performed ablution until the very last of them had finished."

68
00:04:01,550 --> 00:04:04,189
And on his authority, may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

69
00:04:04,189 --> 00:04:08,949
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was at al-Zawra',"

70
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:13,780
"and a vessel containing water that did not cover his fingers was brought to him,"

71
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:16,939
"so he commanded his Companions to perform ablution."

72
00:04:16,939 --> 00:04:19,259
"He placed his palm in the water,"

73
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:24,339
"and the water began to gush from between his fingers and the tips of his fingers,"

74
00:04:24,339 --> 00:04:26,699
"until the people had all performed ablution."

75
00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:29,899
I asked Anas: "How many were you?"

76
00:04:29,899 --> 00:04:33,939
He said: "We were three hundred."

77
00:04:33,939 --> 00:04:37,899
On the authority of al-Bara' Ibn 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

78
00:04:37,899 --> 00:04:41,579
"We were fourteen hundred on the day of Hudaybiyyah,"

79
00:04:41,579 --> 00:04:43,819
"and Hudaybiyyah was a well,"

80
00:04:43,819 --> 00:04:47,740
"which we drained until we did not leave a single drop in it."

81
00:04:47,779 --> 00:04:50,899
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sat"

82
00:04:50,899 --> 00:04:52,779
"on the edge of the well,"

83
00:04:52,779 --> 00:04:54,579
"and called for water,"

84
00:04:54,579 --> 00:04:57,300
"then he rinsed his mouth and spat into the well."

85
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:59,500
"We waited for a short while,"

86
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,220
"then we drew water until we were satisfied,"

87
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:05,819
"and our riding animals were watered and satisfied."

88
00:05:05,819 --> 00:05:09,220
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

89
00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:13,819
"By Allah, I used to press my stomach against the earth out of hunger,"

90
00:05:13,819 --> 00:05:18,019
"and I used to tie a stone against my belly out of hunger."

91
00:05:18,019 --> 00:05:22,699
"One day, I sat on the path from which they would emerge,"

92
00:05:22,699 --> 00:05:24,459
"and Abu Bakr passed by,"

93
00:05:24,459 --> 00:05:28,500
"so I asked him about a verse from the Book of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted,"

94
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:31,540
"asking him only so that he might invite me [to eat],"

95
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:33,180
"but he did not do so."

96
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:34,779
"Then Umar passed by,"

97
00:05:34,779 --> 00:05:38,819
"so I asked him about a verse from the Book of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted,"

98
00:05:38,819 --> 00:05:42,060
"asking him only so that he might invite me,"

99
00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:43,779
"but he did not do so."

100
00:05:43,779 --> 00:05:47,620
"Then Abu al-Qasim, peace be upon him, passed by,"

101
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:50,819
"and he recognized what was on my face and in my soul,"

102
00:05:50,819 --> 00:05:52,060
"and said:"

103
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:53,620
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

104
00:05:53,620 --> 00:05:54,899
I said to him:

105
00:05:54,899 --> 00:05:57,420
"At your service, O Messenger of Allah."

106
00:05:57,420 --> 00:05:58,660
He said:

107
00:05:58,660 --> 00:06:00,019
"'Follow me.'"

108
00:06:00,019 --> 00:06:01,300
"I sought permission,"

109
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:02,860
"and he granted it to me,"

110
00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:05,259
"and he found milk in a bowl."

111
00:06:05,259 --> 00:06:08,779
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to his family:

112
00:06:08,779 --> 00:06:11,139
"'From where did you get this milk?'"

113
00:06:11,139 --> 00:06:12,500
They said:

114
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:14,459
"'It was gifted to us by so-and-so,'"

115
00:06:14,459 --> 00:06:16,420
"or the family of so-and-so."

116
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:17,540
He said:

117
00:06:17,540 --> 00:06:19,180
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

118
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:20,060
I said:

119
00:06:20,060 --> 00:06:22,600
"At your service, O Messenger of Allah."

120
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,720
He said:

121
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,399
"'Go to the people of al-Suffah and invite them to me.'"

122
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:29,279
Abu Hurayrah said:

123
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,319
"The people of al-Suffah were the guests of Islam,"

124
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,360
"having no family or wealth to return to."

125
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,720
"When a gift came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

126
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,199
"he would take some of it,"

127
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,639
"and send the rest to them."

128
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:45,879
"And when charity came to him,"

129
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,560
"he would send it to them and take none of it himself."

130
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,360
Abu Hurayrah said:

131
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,279
"That saddened me,"

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,560
"for I had hoped to have a drink of that milk,"

133
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,439
"to gain strength for the rest of my day and night."

134
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:01,519
"I said to myself:"

135
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:03,160
"I am the messenger,"

136
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,000
"so when the people come,"

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,399
"I will be the one to serve them."

138
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:08,519
"I said:"

139
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,360
"What will remain for me of this milk?"

140
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040
"Yet there was no alternative to obeying Allah, the Almighty and Exalted,"

141
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:18,600
"and obeying His Messenger, peace be upon him."

142
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,839
"So I went and invited them,"

143
00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:24,240
"and they came and sought permission, and he granted it to them,"

144
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,040
"and they took their seats in the house."

145
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,480
"Then he said:"

146
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,000
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

147
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,959
"'Take it and serve them.'"

148
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:33,000
He said:

149
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,680
"I took the bowl,"

150
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,839
"and began to serve them,"

151
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:39,040
"and a man would take the bowl,"

152
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,240
"drink until he was satisfied,"

153
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,279
"and then return the bowl,"

154
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:46,160
"until I had reached the last of them."

155
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,319
"I handed it to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

156
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:51,920
"who took the bowl,"

157
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,839
"and placed it in his hand,"

158
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:56,160
"and there was some left in it."

159
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,800
"Then he raised his head, looked at me, and smiled,"

160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,000
"and said:"

161
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,560
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

162
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,480
I said:

163
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,000
"At your service, O Messenger of Allah."

164
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,040
He said:

165
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,240
"'Only you and I remain.'"

166
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,120
I said:

167
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,480
"You have spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah."

168
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:13,519
He said:

169
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:15,399
"'Sit down and drink.'"

170
00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:17,079
Abu Hurayrah said:

171
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:19,120
"I sat down and drank."

172
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,439
"Then he said:"

173
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:21,519
"'Drink!'"

174
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:22,879
"So I drank."

175
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:25,399
"He kept telling me to drink,"

176
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:26,600
"and I would drink,"

177
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,279
"until I said:"

178
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,920
"No, by the One who sent you with the truth,"

179
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,480
"I can find no more room for it."

180
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,480
He said:

181
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,360
"'Hand me the bowl.'"

182
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,519
"I handed the bowl back to him,"

183
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,659
"and he drank the remainder."

184
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:45,340
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

185
00:08:45,340 --> 00:08:48,299
"Abu Talhah said to Umm Sulaym:"

186
00:08:48,299 --> 00:08:53,500
"'I have heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sounding weak,'"

187
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,700
"'and I recognize hunger in it.'"

188
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:57,860
"'Do you have anything?'"

189
00:08:57,860 --> 00:08:59,419
"She said: 'Yes.'"

190
00:08:59,419 --> 00:09:02,100
"She brought out some barley loaves,"

191
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:04,460
"then she took out a head-covering of hers,"

192
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:06,419
"wrapped the bread in part of it,"

193
00:09:06,419 --> 00:09:08,659
"and tucked it under my hand,"

194
00:09:08,659 --> 00:09:10,899
"and wrapped me with the rest of it."

195
00:09:10,899 --> 00:09:15,659
"Then she sent me to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."

196
00:09:15,659 --> 00:09:16,820
He said:

197
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:18,299
"I went with it,"

198
00:09:18,299 --> 00:09:23,940
"and found the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in the mosque with the people."

199
00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:25,500
"I stood before him,"

200
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:29,500
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to me:

201
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,620
"Did Abu Talhah send you?"

202
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:33,059
I replied, "Yes."

203
00:09:33,059 --> 00:09:33,980
He asked,

204
00:09:33,980 --> 00:09:35,299
"With food?"

205
00:09:35,299 --> 00:09:36,740
I replied, "Yes."

206
00:09:36,779 --> 00:09:41,100
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, then said to those with him:

207
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:42,259
"Rise."

208
00:09:42,259 --> 00:09:45,419
They set out, and I walked ahead of them,

209
00:09:45,419 --> 00:09:48,960
until I reached Abu Talhah and informed him.

210
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,879
Abu Talhah said,

211
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:52,639
"O Umm Sulaym,

212
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:57,039
the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has come with the people,

213
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:59,799
and we do not have enough to feed them."

214
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:01,080
She replied,

215
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,879
"Allah and His Messenger know best."

216
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:09,799
Abu Talhah went out until he met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

217
00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:15,120
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, approached with Abu Talhah accompanying him.

218
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,879
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

219
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:21,080
"Come, O Umm Sulaym,

220
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,559
what do you have?"

221
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,080
She brought that bread.

222
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,200
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded it,

223
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,399
and it was crumbled.

224
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:33,460
Umm Sulaym squeezed some fat over it, seasoning it.

225
00:10:34,139 --> 00:10:39,259
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said over it what Allah willed him to say.

226
00:10:40,019 --> 00:10:41,019
Then he said,

227
00:10:41,019 --> 00:10:42,960
"Admit ten."

228
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,100
They were admitted.

229
00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:47,360
They ate until they were full, then left.

230
00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:48,620
Then he said,

231
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,340
"Admit ten."

232
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:51,820
They were admitted.

233
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:54,980
They ate until they were full, then left.

234
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:56,700
Then he said,

235
00:10:57,019 --> 00:10:58,059
"Admit ten."

236
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,600
They were admitted.

237
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,960
They ate until they were full, then left.

238
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,159
Then he said, "Admit ten."

239
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:08,559
The entire group ate,

240
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,000
and the group consisted of seventy or eighty men.

241
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,100
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

242
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:18,820
During the expedition of Tabuk,

243
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:21,139
the people suffered from famine.

244
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:23,460
They said, "O Messenger of Allah,

245
00:11:23,460 --> 00:11:26,740
if only you would permit us to slaughter our camels,

246
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:28,980
so we could eat and use their fat."

247
00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:31,970
He said, "Do so."

248
00:11:31,970 --> 00:11:34,210
Then Umar came and said,

249
00:11:34,210 --> 00:11:35,809
"O Messenger of Allah,

250
00:11:35,809 --> 00:11:38,210
if they do that, the transport will be reduced.

251
00:11:38,210 --> 00:11:41,330
Instead, ask them to bring the remnants of their provisions,

252
00:11:41,330 --> 00:11:44,129
then invoke Allah’s blessing upon them,

253
00:11:44,129 --> 00:11:47,840
perhaps Allah will place blessing in that."

254
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,279
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded

255
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,039
a leather mat to be spread out.

256
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:56,559
He called for the remnants of their provisions, and they were brought.

257
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,759
A man would come with a handful of dates,

258
00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:01,840
another with a piece of bread,

259
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,080
until a small amount of that had gathered on the mat.

260
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,919
He invoked Allah’s blessing upon it, then said,

261
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:12,480
"Take it into your vessels."

262
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,720
They filled their vessels,

263
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600
until there was not a single empty vessel left in the entire army,

264
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,279
for they had filled them all.

265
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:21,360
They ate until they were full,

266
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,340
and there was still some left over.

267
00:12:23,419 --> 00:12:27,259
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

268
00:12:27,259 --> 00:12:30,139
"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

269
00:12:30,139 --> 00:12:32,379
and that I am the Messenger of Allah.

270
00:12:32,379 --> 00:12:35,740
No servant meets Allah with this testimony, without doubt,

271
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:38,590
but that he will be barred from the Fire."

272
00:12:38,590 --> 00:12:42,750
On the authority of Jabir Ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

273
00:12:42,750 --> 00:12:46,269
We traveled with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

274
00:12:46,269 --> 00:12:49,309
until we descended into the valley of Afiyah.

275
00:12:49,389 --> 00:12:54,350
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, went to relieve himself.

276
00:12:54,350 --> 00:12:57,549
I followed him with a vessel of water.

277
00:12:57,549 --> 00:13:00,830
He looked around but saw nothing to screen him.

278
00:13:00,830 --> 00:13:04,269
There were two trees on the edge of the valley.

279
00:13:04,269 --> 00:13:06,750
He went to one of them,

280
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:09,389
took hold of one of its branches,

281
00:13:09,389 --> 00:13:13,549
and said, "Yield to me by the permission of Allah."

282
00:13:13,549 --> 00:13:18,509
It yielded to him like a camel with a nose-ring, following its leader.

283
00:13:18,590 --> 00:13:22,429
When he reached the midpoint between them,

284
00:13:22,429 --> 00:13:25,070
he brought them together and said,

285
00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:27,950
"Yield to me by the permission of Allah."

286
00:13:27,950 --> 00:13:29,950
They joined together.

287
00:13:29,950 --> 00:13:31,950
Jabir said,

288
00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:33,950
Jabir said,

289
00:13:33,950 --> 00:13:35,950
I went away, fearing

290
00:13:35,950 --> 00:13:37,950
they would join.

291
00:13:37,950 --> 00:13:39,950
They joined.

292
00:13:39,950 --> 00:13:41,950
They joined.

293
00:13:41,950 --> 00:13:44,049
They joined.

294
00:13:44,049 --> 00:13:46,049
They joined.

295
00:13:46,129 --> 00:13:48,129
Jabir said,

296
00:13:48,129 --> 00:13:50,129
I went away, fearing

297
00:13:50,129 --> 00:13:53,220
that he might sense my proximity and move away.

298
00:13:53,220 --> 00:13:55,220
So I sat, talking to myself.

299
00:13:55,220 --> 00:13:57,220
Then I happened to glance over,

300
00:13:57,220 --> 00:14:02,659
and there was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, approaching,

301
00:14:02,659 --> 00:14:05,700
and the two trees had separated,

302
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:09,700
each standing on its own trunk.

303
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:14,659
I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, pause,

304
00:14:14,659 --> 00:14:18,659
and he gestured with his head like this, to the right and left,

305
00:14:18,659 --> 00:14:21,230
looking around him.

306
00:14:21,230 --> 00:14:24,750
On the authority of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

307
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:29,389
We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on a journey.

308
00:14:29,389 --> 00:14:31,389
A Bedouin approached.

309
00:14:31,389 --> 00:14:33,389
When he drew near to him,

310
00:14:33,389 --> 00:14:36,750
the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to him,

311
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:38,750
"Where are you heading?"

312
00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:40,750
He said, "To my family."

313
00:14:40,750 --> 00:14:42,750
He said,

314
00:14:42,750 --> 00:14:44,750
"Do you want something better?"

315
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:46,750
"What is it?"

316
00:14:46,750 --> 00:14:48,750
He said,

317
00:14:48,750 --> 00:14:52,750
"To testify that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner,

318
00:14:52,750 --> 00:14:54,750
and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger."

319
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:56,750
He said,

320
00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:58,750
"Is there any witness to what you say?"

321
00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:00,750
He said,

322
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:02,750
"This tree."

323
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:06,750
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, called it,

324
00:15:06,750 --> 00:15:08,750
and it was on the edge of the valley.

325
00:15:08,750 --> 00:15:10,750
It came, furrowing the earth as it moved,

326
00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:12,750
until it stood before him,

327
00:15:12,750 --> 00:15:14,750
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

328
00:15:14,750 --> 00:15:16,750
He asked it to bear witness three times,

329
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:18,750
and it testified that he was as he said.

330
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:20,750
Then it

331
00:15:20,750 --> 00:15:22,750
returned to its place of growth.

332
00:15:22,750 --> 00:15:24,750
The Bedouin returned

333
00:15:24,750 --> 00:15:26,750
to his people and said,

334
00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:28,750
"If they follow me, I will bring them to you,

335
00:15:28,750 --> 00:15:30,750
otherwise I will return to you

336
00:15:30,750 --> 00:15:33,230
and be with you."

337
00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:37,230
On the authority of Jabir Ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

338
00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:41,230
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

339
00:15:41,230 --> 00:15:43,230
used to stand on Friday

340
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:45,230
by a tree or a palm trunk.

341
00:15:45,230 --> 00:15:47,230
A woman from the Ansar said,

342
00:15:47,230 --> 00:15:49,230
"O Messenger of Allah,

343
00:15:49,230 --> 00:15:51,230
shall we not make a pulpit for you?"

344
00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:53,230
He said,

345
00:15:53,230 --> 00:15:55,230
"If you wish."

346
00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:57,230
So they made a pulpit for him.

347
00:15:57,230 --> 00:15:59,230
When Friday came,

348
00:15:59,230 --> 00:16:01,230
he moved toward the pulpit.

349
00:16:01,230 --> 00:16:03,230
The palm trunk cried out

350
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:05,230
like the crying of a child.

351
00:16:05,230 --> 00:16:07,230
Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came down,

352
00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:09,230
and embraced it,

353
00:16:09,230 --> 00:16:11,230
like the moaning of a child

354
00:16:11,230 --> 00:16:13,230
that is being quieted.

355
00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:15,230
He said,

356
00:16:15,230 --> 00:16:17,230
"It was weeping for what it used to hear

357
00:16:17,230 --> 00:16:19,299
of the dhikr near it."

358
00:16:19,299 --> 00:16:21,299
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

359
00:16:21,299 --> 00:16:23,299
that he heard Jabir Ibn Abdullah

360
00:16:23,299 --> 00:16:25,299
say:

361
00:16:25,299 --> 00:16:27,299
The mosque was roofed over trunks

362
00:16:27,299 --> 00:16:29,299
of palm trees.

363
00:16:29,299 --> 00:16:31,299
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

364
00:16:31,299 --> 00:16:33,299
when he delivered a sermon,

365
00:16:33,299 --> 00:16:35,299
would stand by one of those trunks.

366
00:16:35,299 --> 00:16:37,330
When the pulpit was made for him,

367
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,330
and he was upon it,

368
00:16:39,330 --> 00:16:41,330
we heard that trunk make

369
00:16:41,330 --> 00:16:43,330
a sound like a pregnant she-camel,

370
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:45,330
until the Prophet,

371
00:16:45,330 --> 00:16:47,330
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came

372
00:16:47,330 --> 00:16:49,330
and placed his hand upon it,

373
00:16:49,330 --> 00:16:51,779
and it became quiet.

374
00:16:51,779 --> 00:16:53,779
On the authority of Jabir Ibn Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him,

375
00:16:53,779 --> 00:16:55,779
who said:

376
00:16:55,779 --> 00:16:57,779
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

377
00:16:57,779 --> 00:16:59,779
"I truly know

378
00:16:59,779 --> 00:17:01,779
a stone in Makkah

379
00:17:01,779 --> 00:17:03,779
that used to greet me

380
00:17:03,779 --> 00:17:05,779
before I was sent as a Prophet,

381
00:17:05,779 --> 00:17:08,130
and I know it even now."

382
00:17:08,130 --> 00:17:10,130
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him,

383
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:12,130
who said:

384
00:17:12,130 --> 00:17:14,130
There was a family among the Ansar

385
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:16,130
who had a camel they used for irrigation.

386
00:17:16,130 --> 00:17:18,130
It became difficult for them,

387
00:17:18,130 --> 00:17:20,130
and it refused to let them ride it.

388
00:17:20,130 --> 00:17:22,130
The Ansar

389
00:17:22,130 --> 00:17:24,130
came to the Messenger of Allah,

390
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:26,130
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

391
00:17:26,130 --> 00:17:28,130
and said,

392
00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:30,130
"We had a camel we used for irrigation,

393
00:17:30,130 --> 00:17:32,130
and it

394
00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:34,130
became difficult for us and refused to let us ride it,

395
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:36,130
and the crops have become thirsty,

396
00:17:36,130 --> 00:17:38,130
as have the palm trees."

397
00:17:38,130 --> 00:17:40,130
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said

398
00:17:40,130 --> 00:17:42,130
to his Companions,

399
00:17:42,130 --> 00:17:44,130
"Stand up."

400
00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:46,130
He entered the garden, and the camel was in a corner of it.

401
00:17:46,130 --> 00:17:48,130
The Prophet,

402
00:17:48,130 --> 00:17:50,130
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, walked toward it.

403
00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:52,130
The Ansar said,

404
00:17:52,130 --> 00:17:54,130
"O Messenger of Allah,

405
00:17:54,130 --> 00:17:56,130
it has become

406
00:17:56,130 --> 00:17:58,130
like a rabid dog,

407
00:17:58,130 --> 00:18:00,130
and we fear its aggression toward you."

408
00:18:00,130 --> 00:18:02,130
He replied,

409
00:18:02,130 --> 00:18:04,130
"I am in no danger from it."

410
00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:06,130
When the camel saw

411
00:18:06,130 --> 00:18:08,130
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

412
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:10,130
it approached him,

413
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:12,130
until it fell down

414
00:18:12,130 --> 00:18:14,130
prostrating before him.

415
00:18:14,130 --> 00:18:16,130
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, then took

416
00:18:16,130 --> 00:18:18,130
it by its forelock,

417
00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:20,130
as submissive as it had ever been,

418
00:18:20,130 --> 00:18:22,160
until he brought it back

419
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,160
to work.

420
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,160
His Companions said to him,

421
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,160
"O Messenger of Allah,

422
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,160
this animal has no intellect,

423
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,160
yet it prostrated to you,

424
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,160
and we are more deserving of prostrating to you."

425
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,160
He said,

426
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,160
"It is not fitting for a human being

427
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,160
to prostrate to another human being.

428
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,160
If it were fitting for a human being

429
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,160
to prostrate to another human being,

430
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,160
I would have commanded a wife to prostrate to her husband

431
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,160
because of the greatness of his right over her."

432
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,160
"By Him in whose hand is my soul,

433
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,160
if there were a sore from his feet

434
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,160
to the crown of his head,

435
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,160
oozing with pus and blood,

436
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,160
and she were to face him,

437
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,160
she would still not have fulfilled his right."

438
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,829
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri,

439
00:19:02,829 --> 00:19:04,829
may Allah be pleased with him,

440
00:19:04,829 --> 00:19:06,829
he said:

441
00:19:06,829 --> 00:19:08,829
"A wolf attacked a sheep

442
00:19:08,829 --> 00:19:10,829
and seized it.

443
00:19:10,829 --> 00:19:12,829
The shepherd pursued it and snatched the sheep back.

444
00:19:12,829 --> 00:19:14,829
The wolf then sat on its haunches

445
00:19:14,829 --> 00:19:16,829
and said,

446
00:19:16,829 --> 00:19:18,829
'Do you not fear Allah?

447
00:19:18,829 --> 00:19:20,829
You snatch from me a provision

448
00:19:20,829 --> 00:19:22,829
that Allah had driven to me!'

449
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:24,829
The shepherd exclaimed,

450
00:19:24,829 --> 00:19:26,829
'How amazing!

451
00:19:26,829 --> 00:19:28,829
Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

452
00:19:28,829 --> 00:19:30,829
is speaking to me with human speech!'

453
00:19:30,829 --> 00:19:32,829
The wolf said to him,

454
00:19:32,829 --> 00:19:34,829
'Shall I tell you of something more amazing

455
00:19:34,829 --> 00:19:36,829
than that?

456
00:19:36,829 --> 00:19:38,829
Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

457
00:19:38,829 --> 00:19:40,829
is in Yathrib,

458
00:19:40,829 --> 00:19:42,930
informing people of the news

459
00:19:42,930 --> 00:19:44,930
of what has already passed.'

460
00:19:44,930 --> 00:19:46,930
He said:

461
00:19:46,930 --> 00:19:48,930
The shepherd then drove his sheep

462
00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:50,930
until he entered Medina,

463
00:19:50,930 --> 00:19:52,930
and he gathered them into a corner

464
00:19:52,930 --> 00:19:54,930
of its corners.

465
00:19:54,930 --> 00:19:56,930
[He went to] the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

466
00:19:56,930 --> 00:19:58,930
and informed him.

467
00:19:58,930 --> 00:20:00,930
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave orders,

468
00:20:00,930 --> 00:20:02,930
and it was announced,

469
00:20:02,930 --> 00:20:04,930
'Prayer is a gathering.'

470
00:20:04,930 --> 00:20:06,930
He then went out and said to the shepherd,

471
00:20:06,930 --> 00:20:08,930
'Tell them.'

472
00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:10,930
The shepherd told them what he had heard

473
00:20:10,930 --> 00:20:12,960
from the wolf.

474
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,960
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

475
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,960
'He spoke the truth.

476
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,960
By Him in whose hand is my soul,

477
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,960
the Hour will not be established until

478
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,960
wild beasts speak to humans,

479
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,960
a man is spoken to by the tip of his whip

480
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,960
and the strap of his sandal,

481
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,960
and his thigh informs him of what

482
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,960
his family did after he left.'"

483
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,660
On the authority of Salamah ibn al-Akwa',

484
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:35,660
may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

485
00:20:35,660 --> 00:20:37,660
"A man ate

486
00:20:37,660 --> 00:20:39,660
in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

487
00:20:39,660 --> 00:20:41,660
with his left hand.

488
00:20:41,660 --> 00:20:43,660
He said to him, peace be upon him,

489
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:45,660
'Eat with your right hand.'

490
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:47,660
The man said,

491
00:20:47,660 --> 00:20:49,660
'I cannot.'

492
00:20:49,660 --> 00:20:51,660
He said, 'May you not be able to!'

493
00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:53,660
Nothing prevented him but arrogance.

494
00:20:53,660 --> 00:20:55,660
He said:

495
00:20:55,660 --> 00:20:57,660
He was never able to raise it to his mouth again."

496
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:00,210
On the authority of Anas ibn Malik,

497
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:02,210
may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

498
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:04,210
"A man used to

499
00:21:04,210 --> 00:21:06,210
write for the Prophet, peace be upon him,

500
00:21:06,210 --> 00:21:08,210
and he

501
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:10,210
had read Surah al-Baqarah

502
00:21:10,210 --> 00:21:12,210
and Al 'Imran.

503
00:21:12,210 --> 00:21:14,210
Whenever a man read al-Baqarah

504
00:21:14,210 --> 00:21:16,210
and Al 'Imran, he was held in high esteem among us.

505
00:21:16,210 --> 00:21:18,210
The Messenger of Allah,

506
00:21:18,210 --> 00:21:20,210
peace be upon him,

507
00:21:20,210 --> 00:21:22,210
would dictate to him,

508
00:21:22,210 --> 00:21:24,210
'Forgiving, Merciful,'

509
00:21:24,210 --> 00:21:26,210
but the man would write, 'All-Knowing,

510
00:21:26,210 --> 00:21:28,210
All-Wise.'

511
00:21:28,210 --> 00:21:30,210
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would say to him,

512
00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:32,210
'Write such and such.'

513
00:21:32,210 --> 00:21:34,210
He would reply,

514
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:36,210
'Write however you wish.'

515
00:21:36,210 --> 00:21:38,210
He would dictate to him, 'All-Knowing,

516
00:21:38,210 --> 00:21:40,210
All-Wise,' but he would write,

517
00:21:40,210 --> 00:21:42,210
'All-Hearing, All-Seeing.'

518
00:21:42,210 --> 00:21:44,210
He would say, 'Write

519
00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:46,240
however you wish.'

520
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,240
He said: Then that man apostatized

521
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,240
and joined the polytheists.

522
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,240
He said to the polytheists,

523
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,240
'I know more

524
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,240
about Muhammad than you,

525
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,240
for I used to write

526
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,240
whatever I wished.'

527
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,240
That man died,

528
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,240
and the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

529
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,240
'The earth

530
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,240
will not accept him.'

531
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,240
Anas said:

532
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,240
Abu Talhah told me

533
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,240
that he went to the land where

534
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,240
that man died,

535
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,240
[finding him] cast out.

536
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,240
Abu Talhah asked,

537
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,240
'What is the matter with this man?'

538
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,240
They said, 'We buried him

539
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,240
repeatedly, but the earth

540
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,099
would not accept him.'

541
00:22:29,099 --> 00:22:31,099
Among the proofs of his prophethood

542
00:22:31,099 --> 00:22:33,099
is what happened to him with Umm Ma'bad.

543
00:22:33,099 --> 00:22:35,099
When he asked her,

544
00:22:35,099 --> 00:22:37,099
'What is this sheep, O Umm

545
00:22:37,099 --> 00:22:39,099
Ma'bad?' she replied,

546
00:22:39,099 --> 00:22:41,099
'A sheep left behind by exhaustion

547
00:22:41,099 --> 00:22:43,099
from the flock.' He said,

548
00:22:43,099 --> 00:22:45,099
'Does it have any milk?'

549
00:22:45,099 --> 00:22:47,099
She said,

550
00:22:47,099 --> 00:22:49,099
'It is too exhausted for that.'

551
00:22:49,099 --> 00:22:51,099
He said, 'Do you permit me

552
00:22:51,099 --> 00:22:53,099
to milk it?'

553
00:22:53,099 --> 00:22:55,099
She said, 'Yes, may my father

554
00:22:55,099 --> 00:22:57,099
and mother be sacrificed for you, if you see

555
00:22:57,099 --> 00:22:59,099
any milk in it, then milk it.'

556
00:22:59,099 --> 00:23:01,099
He called for it,

557
00:23:01,099 --> 00:23:03,099
wiped its udder with his hand,

558
00:23:03,099 --> 00:23:05,099
mentioned the name of Allah, and prayed

559
00:23:05,099 --> 00:23:07,099
for her regarding her sheep.

560
00:23:07,099 --> 00:23:09,099
It spread its legs for him,

561
00:23:09,099 --> 00:23:11,099
gave milk, and chewed its cud.

562
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:13,099
He called for a vessel

563
00:23:13,099 --> 00:23:15,099
until it was full to the brim.

564
00:23:15,099 --> 00:23:17,099
Then he gave her to drink until

565
00:23:17,099 --> 00:23:19,099
she was satisfied, then

566
00:23:19,099 --> 00:23:21,099
he gave his Companions to drink until they were satisfied,

567
00:23:21,099 --> 00:23:23,099
and he drank last.

568
00:23:23,099 --> 00:23:25,099
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

569
00:23:25,099 --> 00:23:27,230
These are some

570
00:23:27,230 --> 00:23:29,230
of the miracles of the Messenger, peace be upon him.

571
00:23:29,230 --> 00:23:31,230
Imam al-Nawawi has stated

572
00:23:31,230 --> 00:23:33,230
in his commentary

573
00:23:33,230 --> 00:23:35,230
on Sahih Imam Muslim

574
00:23:35,230 --> 00:23:37,230
that the miracles of

575
00:23:37,230 --> 00:23:39,230
the Prophet, peace be upon him,

576
00:23:39,230 --> 00:23:41,230
exceed

577
00:23:41,230 --> 00:23:43,230
2,200.

578
00:23:43,230 --> 00:23:45,259
Treasures of the Seerah.
