00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.520
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:06.929
Treasures of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:06.929 --> 00:00:15.699
The proofs of his prophethood, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:15.699 --> 00:00:22.129
These are very numerous, and we shall mention some of them.

00:00:22.129 --> 00:00:25.010
Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, says:

00:00:25.010 --> 00:00:29.969
"The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split."

00:00:29.969 --> 00:00:33.490
"And if they see a sign, they turn away,"

00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:37.009
"and say, 'A continuous magic.'"

00:00:37.009 --> 00:00:41.810
"They denied and followed their own desires,"

00:00:41.810 --> 00:00:45.250
"and every matter is settled."

00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:53.649
“And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter,” (54:4)

00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:56.130
"A profound wisdom."

00:00:56.130 --> 00:01:01.100
"But warnings do not avail, so turn away from them."

00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:02.939
The scholars have reached a consensus

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:07.579
that the moon split for the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:10.859
The hadiths regarding this are very numerous.

00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:13.739
Among them is what Imam al-Bukhari recorded

00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:16.620
on the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:21.180
"The people of Makkah asked the Prophet, peace be upon him, for a sign,"

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:24.379
"so the moon split in Makkah into two parts."

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:30.140
He said: "The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split."

00:01:30.219 --> 00:01:33.819
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:37.099
"A man entered the mosque on a Friday"

00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:40.219
"through a door facing the pulpit,"

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:45.019
"while the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was standing and delivering the sermon."

00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:49.819
"He stood facing the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

00:01:49.819 --> 00:01:52.780
"and said: 'O Messenger of Allah,'"

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:56.620
"'wealth has been destroyed and the paths are cut off,'"

00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:59.420
"'so supplicate to Allah for us to grant us rain.'"

00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:00.859
Anas said:

00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:04.620
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, raised his hands"

00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:07.819
"and said: 'O Allah, grant us rain!'"

00:02:07.819 --> 00:02:09.740
"'O Allah, grant us rain!'"

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:12.060
"'O Allah, grant us rain!'"

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:13.659
Anas said:

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,"

00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:23.180
"and there was no house or dwelling between us and the mountain of Sal'."

00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:27.099
"Then a cloud appeared from behind it like a shield,"

00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:29.500
"and when it reached the middle of the sky,"

00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:31.900
"it spread out and then rained."

00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:35.979
He said: "By Allah, we did not see the sun for six,"

00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:38.060
meaning six days.

00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:42.539
"Then a man entered through that same door on the following Friday,"

00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:47.259
"while the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was standing and delivering the sermon."

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:50.060
"He stood facing him and said:"

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:51.900
"'O Messenger of Allah,'"

00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:55.099
"'wealth has been destroyed and the paths are cut off,'"

00:02:55.099 --> 00:02:57.580
"'supplicate to Allah to hold it back.'"

00:02:57.580 --> 00:02:58.699
He said:

00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:03.979
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, raised his hands and said:"

00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:07.180
"'O Allah, around us and not upon us!'"

00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:12.860
"'O Allah, upon the hills, the mountains, the valleys, and the places where trees grow!'"

00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:14.060
He said:

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:17.939
"It stopped, and we went out walking in the sun."

00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:19.419
Sharik said:

00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:21.259
"I asked Anas:"

00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:24.219
"'Is he the same man who asked the first time?'"

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:27.460
"He said: 'I do not know.'"

00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:30.099
And on his authority, may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:33.620
"I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:35.860
"when the time for the Asr prayer arrived,"

00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:39.460
"and the people sought water for ablution but could not find any."

00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:43.939
"Then water for ablution was brought to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:49.460
"and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, placed his hand in that water,"

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:52.530
"and commanded the people to perform ablution from it."

00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:56.050
"I saw water gushing from beneath his fingers,"

00:03:56.050 --> 00:04:01.550
"and the people performed ablution until the very last of them had finished."

00:04:01.550 --> 00:04:04.189
And on his authority, may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

00:04:04.189 --> 00:04:08.949
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was at al-Zawra',"

00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:13.780
"and a vessel containing water that did not cover his fingers was brought to him,"

00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:16.939
"so he commanded his Companions to perform ablution."

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:19.259
"He placed his palm in the water,"

00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:24.339
"and the water began to gush from between his fingers and the tips of his fingers,"

00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:26.699
"until the people had all performed ablution."

00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:29.899
I asked Anas: "How many were you?"

00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:33.939
He said: "We were three hundred."

00:04:33.939 --> 00:04:37.899
On the authority of al-Bara' Ibn 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:41.579
"We were fourteen hundred on the day of Hudaybiyyah,"

00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:43.819
"and Hudaybiyyah was a well,"

00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:47.740
"which we drained until we did not leave a single drop in it."

00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:50.899
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sat"

00:04:50.899 --> 00:04:52.779
"on the edge of the well,"

00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:54.579
"and called for water,"

00:04:54.579 --> 00:04:57.300
"then he rinsed his mouth and spat into the well."

00:04:57.300 --> 00:04:59.500
"We waited for a short while,"

00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:02.220
"then we drew water until we were satisfied,"

00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:05.819
"and our riding animals were watered and satisfied."

00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:09.220
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:05:09.220 --> 00:05:13.819
"By Allah, I used to press my stomach against the earth out of hunger,"

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:18.019
"and I used to tie a stone against my belly out of hunger."

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:22.699
"One day, I sat on the path from which they would emerge,"

00:05:22.699 --> 00:05:24.459
"and Abu Bakr passed by,"

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:28.500
"so I asked him about a verse from the Book of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted,"

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:31.540
"asking him only so that he might invite me [to eat],"

00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:33.180
"but he did not do so."

00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:34.779
"Then Umar passed by,"

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:38.819
"so I asked him about a verse from the Book of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted,"

00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:42.060
"asking him only so that he might invite me,"

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:43.779
"but he did not do so."

00:05:43.779 --> 00:05:47.620
"Then Abu al-Qasim, peace be upon him, passed by,"

00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:50.819
"and he recognized what was on my face and in my soul,"

00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:52.060
"and said:"

00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:53.620
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:54.899
I said to him:

00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:57.420
"At your service, O Messenger of Allah."

00:05:57.420 --> 00:05:58.660
He said:

00:05:58.660 --> 00:06:00.019
"'Follow me.'"

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:01.300
"I sought permission,"

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:02.860
"and he granted it to me,"

00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:05.259
"and he found milk in a bowl."

00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:08.779
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to his family:

00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:11.139
"'From where did you get this milk?'"

00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:12.500
They said:

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:14.459
"'It was gifted to us by so-and-so,'"

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:16.420
"or the family of so-and-so."

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:17.540
He said:

00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:19.180
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:20.060
I said:

00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:22.600
"At your service, O Messenger of Allah."

00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:23.720
He said:

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.399
"'Go to the people of al-Suffah and invite them to me.'"

00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.279
Abu Hurayrah said:

00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.319
"The people of al-Suffah were the guests of Islam,"

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.360
"having no family or wealth to return to."

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.720
"When a gift came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.199
"he would take some of it,"

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.639
"and send the rest to them."

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.879
"And when charity came to him,"

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.560
"he would send it to them and take none of it himself."

00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.360
Abu Hurayrah said:

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.279
"That saddened me,"

00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.560
"for I had hoped to have a drink of that milk,"

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.439
"to gain strength for the rest of my day and night."

00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:01.519
"I said to myself:"

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.160
"I am the messenger,"

00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.000
"so when the people come,"

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.399
"I will be the one to serve them."

00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:08.519
"I said:"

00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.360
"What will remain for me of this milk?"

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.040
"Yet there was no alternative to obeying Allah, the Almighty and Exalted,"

00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.600
"and obeying His Messenger, peace be upon him."

00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.839
"So I went and invited them,"

00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.240
"and they came and sought permission, and he granted it to them,"

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.040
"and they took their seats in the house."

00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.480
"Then he said:"

00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.000
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.959
"'Take it and serve them.'"

00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:33.000
He said:

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.680
"I took the bowl,"

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.839
"and began to serve them,"

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.040
"and a man would take the bowl,"

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.240
"drink until he was satisfied,"

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.279
"and then return the bowl,"

00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.160
"until I had reached the last of them."

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.319
"I handed it to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,"

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.920
"who took the bowl,"

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.839
"and placed it in his hand,"

00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.160
"and there was some left in it."

00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.800
"Then he raised his head, looked at me, and smiled,"

00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.000
"and said:"

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.560
"'Abu Hurayrah!'"

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:03.480
I said:

00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.000
"At your service, O Messenger of Allah."

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.040
He said:

00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.240
"'Only you and I remain.'"

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:10.120
I said:

00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.480
"You have spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah."

00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.519
He said:

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.399
"'Sit down and drink.'"

00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.079
Abu Hurayrah said:

00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.120
"I sat down and drank."

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.439
"Then he said:"

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.519
"'Drink!'"

00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:22.879
"So I drank."

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.399
"He kept telling me to drink,"

00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:26.600
"and I would drink,"

00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.279
"until I said:"

00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.920
"No, by the One who sent you with the truth,"

00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.480
"I can find no more room for it."

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.480
He said:

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.360
"'Hand me the bowl.'"

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.519
"I handed the bowl back to him,"

00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.659
"and he drank the remainder."

00:08:41.659 --> 00:08:45.340
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:48.299
"Abu Talhah said to Umm Sulaym:"

00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:53.500
"'I have heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sounding weak,'"

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:55.700
"'and I recognize hunger in it.'"

00:08:55.700 --> 00:08:57.860
"'Do you have anything?'"

00:08:57.860 --> 00:08:59.419
"She said: 'Yes.'"

00:08:59.419 --> 00:09:02.100
"She brought out some barley loaves,"

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:04.460
"then she took out a head-covering of hers,"

00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:06.419
"wrapped the bread in part of it,"

00:09:06.419 --> 00:09:08.659
"and tucked it under my hand,"

00:09:08.659 --> 00:09:10.899
"and wrapped me with the rest of it."

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:15.659
"Then she sent me to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."

00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:16.820
He said:

00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:18.299
"I went with it,"

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:23.940
"and found the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in the mosque with the people."

00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:25.500
"I stood before him,"

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:29.500
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to me:

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:31.620
"Did Abu Talhah send you?"

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:33.059
I replied, "Yes."

00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:33.980
He asked,

00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:35.299
"With food?"

00:09:35.299 --> 00:09:36.740
I replied, "Yes."

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:

00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:42.259
"Rise."

00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:45.419
They set out, and I walked ahead of them,

00:09:45.419 --> 00:09:48.960
until I reached Abu Talhah and informed him.

00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.879
Abu Talhah said,

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.639
"O Umm Sulaym,

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,

00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.799
and we do not have enough to feed them."

00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:01.080
She replied,

00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.879
"Allah and His Messenger know best."

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.

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.

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.879
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.080
"Come, O Umm Sulaym,

00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.559
what do you have?"

00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.080
She brought that bread.

00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:29.200
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded it,

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.399
and it was crumbled.

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.460
Umm Sulaym squeezed some fat over it, seasoning it.

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.

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:41.019
Then he said,

00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:42.960
"Admit ten."

00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.100
They were admitted.

00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:47.360
They ate until they were full, then left.

00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:48.620
Then he said,

00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.340
"Admit ten."

00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:51.820
They were admitted.

00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.980
They ate until they were full, then left.

00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:56.700
Then he said,

00:10:57.019 --> 00:10:58.059
"Admit ten."

00:10:58.679 --> 00:10:59.600
They were admitted.

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.960
They ate until they were full, then left.

00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.159
Then he said, "Admit ten."

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.559
The entire group ate,

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.000
and the group consisted of seventy or eighty men.

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.100
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:18.820
During the expedition of Tabuk,

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:21.139
the people suffered from famine.

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:23.460
They said, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:11:23.460 --> 00:11:26.740
if only you would permit us to slaughter our camels,

00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:28.980
so we could eat and use their fat."

00:11:29.730 --> 00:11:31.970
He said, "Do so."

00:11:31.970 --> 00:11:34.210
Then Umar came and said,

00:11:34.210 --> 00:11:35.809
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:11:35.809 --> 00:11:38.210
if they do that, the transport will be reduced.

00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:41.330
Instead, ask them to bring the remnants of their provisions,

00:11:41.330 --> 00:11:44.129
then invoke Allah’s blessing upon them,

00:11:44.129 --> 00:11:47.840
perhaps Allah will place blessing in that."

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.279
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded

00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.039
a leather mat to be spread out.

00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.559
He called for the remnants of their provisions, and they were brought.

00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.759
A man would come with a handful of dates,

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.840
another with a piece of bread,

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:06.080
until a small amount of that had gathered on the mat.

00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.919
He invoked Allah’s blessing upon it, then said,

00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.480
"Take it into your vessels."

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.720
They filled their vessels,

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.600
until there was not a single empty vessel left in the entire army,

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.279
for they had filled them all.

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.360
They ate until they were full,

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.340
and there was still some left over.

00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:27.259
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:30.139
"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:32.379
and that I am the Messenger of Allah.

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:35.740
No servant meets Allah with this testimony, without doubt,

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:38.590
but that he will be barred from the Fire."

00:12:38.590 --> 00:12:42.750
On the authority of Jabir Ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:12:42.750 --> 00:12:46.269
We traveled with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:49.309
until we descended into the valley of Afiyah.

00:12:49.389 --> 00:12:54.350
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, went to relieve himself.

00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:57.549
I followed him with a vessel of water.

00:12:57.549 --> 00:13:00.830
He looked around but saw nothing to screen him.

00:13:00.830 --> 00:13:04.269
There were two trees on the edge of the valley.

00:13:04.269 --> 00:13:06.750
He went to one of them,

00:13:06.750 --> 00:13:09.389
took hold of one of its branches,

00:13:09.389 --> 00:13:13.549
and said, "Yield to me by the permission of Allah."

00:13:13.549 --> 00:13:18.509
It yielded to him like a camel with a nose-ring, following its leader.

00:13:18.590 --> 00:13:22.429
When he reached the midpoint between them,

00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:25.070
he brought them together and said,

00:13:25.070 --> 00:13:27.950
"Yield to me by the permission of Allah."

00:13:27.950 --> 00:13:29.950
They joined together.

00:13:29.950 --> 00:13:31.950
Jabir said,

00:13:31.950 --> 00:13:33.950
Jabir said,

00:13:33.950 --> 00:13:35.950
I went away, fearing

00:13:35.950 --> 00:13:37.950
they would join.

00:13:37.950 --> 00:13:39.950
They joined.

00:13:39.950 --> 00:13:41.950
They joined.

00:13:41.950 --> 00:13:44.049
They joined.

00:13:44.049 --> 00:13:46.049
They joined.

00:13:46.129 --> 00:13:48.129
Jabir said,

00:13:48.129 --> 00:13:50.129
I went away, fearing

00:13:50.129 --> 00:13:53.220
that he might sense my proximity and move away.

00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:55.220
So I sat, talking to myself.

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.220
Then I happened to glance over,

00:13:57.220 --> 00:14:02.659
and there was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, approaching,

00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:05.700
and the two trees had separated,

00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:09.700
each standing on its own trunk.

00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:14.659
I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, pause,

00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:18.659
and he gestured with his head like this, to the right and left,

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:21.230
looking around him.

00:14:21.230 --> 00:14:24.750
On the authority of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

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.

00:14:29.389 --> 00:14:31.389
A Bedouin approached.

00:14:31.389 --> 00:14:33.389
When he drew near to him,

00:14:33.389 --> 00:14:36.750
the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to him,

00:14:36.750 --> 00:14:38.750
"Where are you heading?"

00:14:38.750 --> 00:14:40.750
He said, "To my family."

00:14:40.750 --> 00:14:42.750
He said,

00:14:42.750 --> 00:14:44.750
"Do you want something better?"

00:14:44.750 --> 00:14:46.750
"What is it?"

00:14:46.750 --> 00:14:48.750
He said,

00:14:48.750 --> 00:14:52.750
"To testify that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner,

00:14:52.750 --> 00:14:54.750
and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger."

00:14:54.750 --> 00:14:56.750
He said,

00:14:56.750 --> 00:14:58.750
"Is there any witness to what you say?"

00:14:58.750 --> 00:15:00.750
He said,

00:15:00.750 --> 00:15:02.750
"This tree."

00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:06.750
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, called it,

00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:08.750
and it was on the edge of the valley.

00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:10.750
It came, furrowing the earth as it moved,

00:15:10.750 --> 00:15:12.750
until it stood before him,

00:15:12.750 --> 00:15:14.750
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:15:14.750 --> 00:15:16.750
He asked it to bear witness three times,

00:15:16.750 --> 00:15:18.750
and it testified that he was as he said.

00:15:18.750 --> 00:15:20.750
Then it

00:15:20.750 --> 00:15:22.750
returned to its place of growth.

00:15:22.750 --> 00:15:24.750
The Bedouin returned

00:15:24.750 --> 00:15:26.750
to his people and said,

00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:28.750
"If they follow me, I will bring them to you,

00:15:28.750 --> 00:15:30.750
otherwise I will return to you

00:15:30.750 --> 00:15:33.230
and be with you."

00:15:33.230 --> 00:15:37.230
On the authority of Jabir Ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:41.230
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:43.230
used to stand on Friday

00:15:43.230 --> 00:15:45.230
by a tree or a palm trunk.

00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:47.230
A woman from the Ansar said,

00:15:47.230 --> 00:15:49.230
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:15:49.230 --> 00:15:51.230
shall we not make a pulpit for you?"

00:15:51.230 --> 00:15:53.230
He said,

00:15:53.230 --> 00:15:55.230
"If you wish."

00:15:55.230 --> 00:15:57.230
So they made a pulpit for him.

00:15:57.230 --> 00:15:59.230
When Friday came,

00:15:59.230 --> 00:16:01.230
he moved toward the pulpit.

00:16:01.230 --> 00:16:03.230
The palm trunk cried out

00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:05.230
like the crying of a child.

00:16:05.230 --> 00:16:07.230
Then the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came down,

00:16:07.230 --> 00:16:09.230
and embraced it,

00:16:09.230 --> 00:16:11.230
like the moaning of a child

00:16:11.230 --> 00:16:13.230
that is being quieted.

00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:15.230
He said,

00:16:15.230 --> 00:16:17.230
"It was weeping for what it used to hear

00:16:17.230 --> 00:16:19.299
of the dhikr near it."

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:21.299
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:23.299
that he heard Jabir Ibn Abdullah

00:16:23.299 --> 00:16:25.299
say:

00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:27.299
The mosque was roofed over trunks

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:29.299
of palm trees.

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:31.299
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:33.299
when he delivered a sermon,

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:35.299
would stand by one of those trunks.

00:16:35.299 --> 00:16:37.330
When the pulpit was made for him,

00:16:37.330 --> 00:16:39.330
and he was upon it,

00:16:39.330 --> 00:16:41.330
we heard that trunk make

00:16:41.330 --> 00:16:43.330
a sound like a pregnant she-camel,

00:16:43.330 --> 00:16:45.330
until the Prophet,

00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:47.330
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came

00:16:47.330 --> 00:16:49.330
and placed his hand upon it,

00:16:49.330 --> 00:16:51.779
and it became quiet.

00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:53.779
On the authority of Jabir Ibn Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:55.779
who said:

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:57.779
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:59.779
"I truly know

00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:01.779
a stone in Makkah

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:03.779
that used to greet me

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:05.779
before I was sent as a Prophet,

00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:08.130
and I know it even now."

00:17:08.130 --> 00:17:10.130
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:17:10.130 --> 00:17:12.130
who said:

00:17:12.130 --> 00:17:14.130
There was a family among the Ansar

00:17:14.130 --> 00:17:16.130
who had a camel they used for irrigation.

00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:18.130
It became difficult for them,

00:17:18.130 --> 00:17:20.130
and it refused to let them ride it.

00:17:20.130 --> 00:17:22.130
The Ansar

00:17:22.130 --> 00:17:24.130
came to the Messenger of Allah,

00:17:24.130 --> 00:17:26.130
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:17:26.130 --> 00:17:28.130
and said,

00:17:28.130 --> 00:17:30.130
"We had a camel we used for irrigation,

00:17:30.130 --> 00:17:32.130
and it

00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:34.130
became difficult for us and refused to let us ride it,

00:17:34.130 --> 00:17:36.130
and the crops have become thirsty,

00:17:36.130 --> 00:17:38.130
as have the palm trees."

00:17:38.130 --> 00:17:40.130
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said

00:17:40.130 --> 00:17:42.130
to his Companions,

00:17:42.130 --> 00:17:44.130
"Stand up."

00:17:44.130 --> 00:17:46.130
He entered the garden, and the camel was in a corner of it.

00:17:46.130 --> 00:17:48.130
The Prophet,

00:17:48.130 --> 00:17:50.130
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, walked toward it.

00:17:50.130 --> 00:17:52.130
The Ansar said,

00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:54.130
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:17:54.130 --> 00:17:56.130
it has become

00:17:56.130 --> 00:17:58.130
like a rabid dog,

00:17:58.130 --> 00:18:00.130
and we fear its aggression toward you."

00:18:00.130 --> 00:18:02.130
He replied,

00:18:02.130 --> 00:18:04.130
"I am in no danger from it."

00:18:04.130 --> 00:18:06.130
When the camel saw

00:18:06.130 --> 00:18:08.130
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:10.130
it approached him,

00:18:10.130 --> 00:18:12.130
until it fell down

00:18:12.130 --> 00:18:14.130
prostrating before him.

00:18:14.130 --> 00:18:16.130
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, then took

00:18:16.130 --> 00:18:18.130
it by its forelock,

00:18:18.130 --> 00:18:20.130
as submissive as it had ever been,

00:18:20.130 --> 00:18:22.160
until he brought it back

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.160
to work.

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.160
His Companions said to him,

00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.160
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.160
this animal has no intellect,

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.160
yet it prostrated to you,

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.160
and we are more deserving of prostrating to you."

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.160
He said,

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.160
"It is not fitting for a human being

00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.160
to prostrate to another human being.

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.160
If it were fitting for a human being

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.160
to prostrate to another human being,

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.160
I would have commanded a wife to prostrate to her husband

00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.160
because of the greatness of his right over her."

00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.160
"By Him in whose hand is my soul,

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.160
if there were a sore from his feet

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.160
to the crown of his head,

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.160
oozing with pus and blood,

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.160
and she were to face him,

00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.160
she would still not have fulfilled his right."

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.829
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri,

00:19:02.829 --> 00:19:04.829
may Allah be pleased with him,

00:19:04.829 --> 00:19:06.829
he said:

00:19:06.829 --> 00:19:08.829
"A wolf attacked a sheep

00:19:08.829 --> 00:19:10.829
and seized it.

00:19:10.829 --> 00:19:12.829
The shepherd pursued it and snatched the sheep back.

00:19:12.829 --> 00:19:14.829
The wolf then sat on its haunches

00:19:14.829 --> 00:19:16.829
and said,

00:19:16.829 --> 00:19:18.829
'Do you not fear Allah?

00:19:18.829 --> 00:19:20.829
You snatch from me a provision

00:19:20.829 --> 00:19:22.829
that Allah had driven to me!'

00:19:22.829 --> 00:19:24.829
The shepherd exclaimed,

00:19:24.829 --> 00:19:26.829
'How amazing!

00:19:26.829 --> 00:19:28.829
Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:19:28.829 --> 00:19:30.829
is speaking to me with human speech!'

00:19:30.829 --> 00:19:32.829
The wolf said to him,

00:19:32.829 --> 00:19:34.829
'Shall I tell you of something more amazing

00:19:34.829 --> 00:19:36.829
than that?

00:19:36.829 --> 00:19:38.829
Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:19:38.829 --> 00:19:40.829
is in Yathrib,

00:19:40.829 --> 00:19:42.930
informing people of the news

00:19:42.930 --> 00:19:44.930
of what has already passed.'

00:19:44.930 --> 00:19:46.930
He said:

00:19:46.930 --> 00:19:48.930
The shepherd then drove his sheep

00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:50.930
until he entered Medina,

00:19:50.930 --> 00:19:52.930
and he gathered them into a corner

00:19:52.930 --> 00:19:54.930
of its corners.

00:19:54.930 --> 00:19:56.930
[He went to] the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:19:56.930 --> 00:19:58.930
and informed him.

00:19:58.930 --> 00:20:00.930
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave orders,

00:20:00.930 --> 00:20:02.930
and it was announced,

00:20:02.930 --> 00:20:04.930
'Prayer is a gathering.'

00:20:04.930 --> 00:20:06.930
He then went out and said to the shepherd,

00:20:06.930 --> 00:20:08.930
'Tell them.'

00:20:08.930 --> 00:20:10.930
The shepherd told them what he had heard

00:20:10.930 --> 00:20:12.960
from the wolf.

00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.960
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:16.960
'He spoke the truth.

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:18.960
By Him in whose hand is my soul,

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.960
the Hour will not be established until

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.960
wild beasts speak to humans,

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:24.960
a man is spoken to by the tip of his whip

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.960
and the strap of his sandal,

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.960
and his thigh informs him of what

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.960
his family did after he left.'"

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.660
On the authority of Salamah ibn al-Akwa',

00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:35.660
may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:37.660
"A man ate

00:20:37.660 --> 00:20:39.660
in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:20:39.660 --> 00:20:41.660
with his left hand.

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:43.660
He said to him, peace be upon him,

00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:45.660
'Eat with your right hand.'

00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:47.660
The man said,

00:20:47.660 --> 00:20:49.660
'I cannot.'

00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:51.660
He said, 'May you not be able to!'

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:53.660
Nothing prevented him but arrogance.

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:55.660
He said:

00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:57.660
He was never able to raise it to his mouth again."

00:20:57.660 --> 00:21:00.210
On the authority of Anas ibn Malik,

00:21:00.210 --> 00:21:02.210
may Allah be pleased with him, he said:

00:21:02.210 --> 00:21:04.210
"A man used to

00:21:04.210 --> 00:21:06.210
write for the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:21:06.210 --> 00:21:08.210
and he

00:21:08.210 --> 00:21:10.210
had read Surah al-Baqarah

00:21:10.210 --> 00:21:12.210
and Al 'Imran.

00:21:12.210 --> 00:21:14.210
Whenever a man read al-Baqarah

00:21:14.210 --> 00:21:16.210
and Al 'Imran, he was held in high esteem among us.

00:21:16.210 --> 00:21:18.210
The Messenger of Allah,

00:21:18.210 --> 00:21:20.210
peace be upon him,

00:21:20.210 --> 00:21:22.210
would dictate to him,

00:21:22.210 --> 00:21:24.210
'Forgiving, Merciful,'

00:21:24.210 --> 00:21:26.210
but the man would write, 'All-Knowing,

00:21:26.210 --> 00:21:28.210
All-Wise.'

00:21:28.210 --> 00:21:30.210
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would say to him,

00:21:30.210 --> 00:21:32.210
'Write such and such.'

00:21:32.210 --> 00:21:34.210
He would reply,

00:21:34.210 --> 00:21:36.210
'Write however you wish.'

00:21:36.210 --> 00:21:38.210
He would dictate to him, 'All-Knowing,

00:21:38.210 --> 00:21:40.210
All-Wise,' but he would write,

00:21:40.210 --> 00:21:42.210
'All-Hearing, All-Seeing.'

00:21:42.210 --> 00:21:44.210
He would say, 'Write

00:21:44.210 --> 00:21:46.240
however you wish.'

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.240
He said: Then that man apostatized

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:50.240
and joined the polytheists.

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:52.240
He said to the polytheists,

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.240
'I know more

00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.240
about Muhammad than you,

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.240
for I used to write

00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.240
whatever I wished.'

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.240
That man died,

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.240
and the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.240
'The earth

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.240
will not accept him.'

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.240
Anas said:

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.240
Abu Talhah told me

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.240
that he went to the land where

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.240
that man died,

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.240
[finding him] cast out.

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.240
Abu Talhah asked,

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.240
'What is the matter with this man?'

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.240
They said, 'We buried him

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:26.240
repeatedly, but the earth

00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.099
would not accept him.'

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:31.099
Among the proofs of his prophethood

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:33.099
is what happened to him with Umm Ma'bad.

00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:35.099
When he asked her,

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:37.099
'What is this sheep, O Umm

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:39.099
Ma'bad?' she replied,

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:41.099
'A sheep left behind by exhaustion

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:43.099
from the flock.' He said,

00:22:43.099 --> 00:22:45.099
'Does it have any milk?'

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:47.099
She said,

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:49.099
'It is too exhausted for that.'

00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:51.099
He said, 'Do you permit me

00:22:51.099 --> 00:22:53.099
to milk it?'

00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:55.099
She said, 'Yes, may my father

00:22:55.099 --> 00:22:57.099
and mother be sacrificed for you, if you see

00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:59.099
any milk in it, then milk it.'

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:01.099
He called for it,

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:03.099
wiped its udder with his hand,

00:23:03.099 --> 00:23:05.099
mentioned the name of Allah, and prayed

00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:07.099
for her regarding her sheep.

00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:09.099
It spread its legs for him,

00:23:09.099 --> 00:23:11.099
gave milk, and chewed its cud.

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:13.099
He called for a vessel

00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:15.099
until it was full to the brim.

00:23:15.099 --> 00:23:17.099
Then he gave her to drink until

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:19.099
she was satisfied, then

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:21.099
he gave his Companions to drink until they were satisfied,

00:23:21.099 --> 00:23:23.099
and he drank last.

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:25.099
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:27.230
These are some

00:23:27.230 --> 00:23:29.230
of the miracles of the Messenger, peace be upon him.

00:23:29.230 --> 00:23:31.230
Imam al-Nawawi has stated

00:23:31.230 --> 00:23:33.230
in his commentary

00:23:33.230 --> 00:23:35.230
on Sahih Imam Muslim

00:23:35.230 --> 00:23:37.230
that the miracles of

00:23:37.230 --> 00:23:39.230
the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:23:39.230 --> 00:23:41.230
exceed

00:23:41.230 --> 00:23:43.230
2,200.

00:23:43.230 --> 00:23:45.259
Treasures of the Seerah.
