1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,740
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:13,279
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:17,839
A Summary of the Prophetic Biography.

4
00:00:17,839 --> 00:00:25,019
Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid Al-Azmi, may Allah preserve him.

5
00:00:25,019 --> 00:00:34,750
The arrival of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and his judgment regarding Banu Qurayzah.

6
00:00:36,219 --> 00:00:43,020
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent for Sa'd ibn Mu'adh.

7
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:47,619
He was brought riding on a donkey fitted with a pack-saddle made of palm fibers.

8
00:00:47,619 --> 00:00:49,820
An *ikaf* refers to a padded saddle rope assembly.

9
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:54,140
He was helped onto it and surrounded by his people, who kept saying:

10
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:55,780
"O Abu 'Amr!

11
00:00:55,780 --> 00:00:59,380
Remember your allies, your clients, and those who inflict damage on the enemy—

12
00:00:59,380 --> 00:01:01,380
—and those whom you know well!"

13
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:03,859
But he did not utter a single word back to them,

14
00:01:03,899 --> 00:01:06,219
nor did he pay any attention to them.

15
00:01:06,219 --> 00:01:08,780
When he approached their quarters,

16
00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:11,739
he turned to his people and said:

17
00:01:11,739 --> 00:01:17,180
"The time has come for Sa'd not to care about the blame of any critic for the sake of Allah."

18
00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:21,980
When he appeared before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),

19
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:25,700
the Messenger of Allah said:

20
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:30,810
"Stand up for your master and help him down."

21
00:01:30,849 --> 00:01:34,609
Then the Messenger of Allah said:

22
00:01:34,609 --> 00:01:36,650
"Pass judgment upon them."

23
00:01:36,650 --> 00:01:39,599
Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

24
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:41,719
"My judgment regarding them is

25
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:44,200
that their combatants be killed,

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,319
their offspring taken as captives,

27
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,030
and their wealth divided."

28
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:53,019
The Messenger of Allah said:

29
00:01:53,019 --> 00:01:58,659
"You have judged among them with the judgment of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and the judgment of His Messenger."

30
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:03,260
In a narration by Imam Ahmad and At-Tirmidhi with an authentic chain of transmission,

31
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:06,459
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

32
00:02:06,459 --> 00:02:09,099
"He ruled that their men be killed

33
00:02:09,099 --> 00:02:12,180
and that their women and children be spared,

34
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:15,120
so that the Muslims could benefit from them."

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,919
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,009
"You have struck upon Allah's judgment regarding them."

37
00:02:22,009 --> 00:02:25,409
In a narration by Al-Hakim with a fair chain of transmission,

38
00:02:25,409 --> 00:02:29,599
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

39
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:33,560
"The Messenger of Allah said:

40
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,680
'Today he has judged among them with the judgment of Allah,

41
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,000
which He decreed from above seven heavens.'"

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Allah Almighty spoke the truth when He said:

43
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:51,719
“And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts. Some ye slew, and ye made captive some.” (33:26)

44
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:59,520
“And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts. Some ye slew, and ye made captive some.” (33:26)

45
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:06,560
"And He made you inherit their land, their homes, their wealth, and a land you had never trodden before. And Allah is over all things Competent."

46
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,610
"And Allah is over all things Competent."

47
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:18,020
Execution of the judgment regarding Banu Qurayzah.

48
00:03:18,020 --> 00:03:21,020
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered—

49
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:27,020
—pursuant to the ruling regarding the Jews of Banu Qurayzah—

50
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:33,020
that everyone among them who had reached puberty be killed, while whoever had not reached puberty be left alone.

51
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:38,020
So their necks were struck in trenches dug in the market of Medina,

52
00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:41,180
and they numbered four hundred men.

53
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:47,180
Imam Ahmad narrated in his *Musnad*, as well as At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud with an authentic chain of transmission,

54
00:03:47,180 --> 00:03:50,180
on the authority of 'Atiyyah Al-Qurazi who said:

55
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:55,219
"We were presented before the Prophet (peace be upon him) on the day of Qurayzah;

56
00:03:55,219 --> 00:04:01,310
whoever had grown pubic hair was killed, and whoever had not grown pubic hair was set free.

57
00:04:01,310 --> 00:04:05,310
I was among those who had not grown pubic hair, so I was set free."

58
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:10,379
In a narration by Ibn Hibban in his *Sahih* with an authentic chain of transmission,

59
00:04:10,379 --> 00:04:12,379
'Atiyyah Al-Qurazi said:

60
00:04:12,379 --> 00:04:15,379
"I was among the first over whom Sa'd passed judgment.

61
00:04:15,379 --> 00:04:19,379
My father was brought, and I thought he would kill me.

62
00:04:19,379 --> 00:04:21,379
So they inspected my pubic area,

63
00:04:21,379 --> 00:04:23,379
and when they found that I had not grown pubic hair,

64
00:04:23,379 --> 00:04:25,379
they placed me among the captives."

65
00:04:25,379 --> 00:04:28,569
Imam At-Tirmidhi said in his *Jami'*:

66
00:04:28,569 --> 00:04:32,569
"And the practice among some of the people of knowledge is based upon this,

67
00:04:32,569 --> 00:04:35,569
for they regard the growth of pubic hair as reaching puberty

68
00:04:35,569 --> 00:04:38,569
if one's wet dream or age is unknown;

69
00:04:38,569 --> 00:04:41,569
this is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq."

70
00:04:41,569 --> 00:04:44,790
The two Sheikhs narrated in their *Sahihs*

71
00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:47,790
on the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

72
00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:50,790
"The Jews of Banu An-Nadir and Banu Qurayzah

73
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:54,790
waged war against the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him);

74
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:56,790
so he exiled Banu An-Nadir

75
00:04:56,790 --> 00:05:00,790
and allowed Banu Qurayzah to remain, bestowing favor upon them,

76
00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:03,790
until Banu Qurayzah fought thereafter.

77
00:05:03,790 --> 00:05:05,790
So their men were killed,

78
00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:09,790
and their women and children were distributed among the Muslims."

79
00:05:09,790 --> 00:05:18,189
No woman from Banu Qurayzah was killed except one woman;

80
00:05:18,189 --> 00:05:22,449
indeed, none of the women of the Jews of Banu Qurayzah were killed

81
00:05:22,449 --> 00:05:24,449
except a single woman.

82
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:28,579
Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Al-Hakim narrated—

83
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:30,579
and the wording is that of Al-Hakim—

84
00:05:30,579 --> 00:05:32,579
with a fair chain of transmission,

85
00:05:32,579 --> 00:05:35,579
on the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

86
00:05:35,579 --> 00:05:39,579
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not kill

87
00:05:39,579 --> 00:05:41,579
any woman from Banu Qurayzah

88
00:05:41,579 --> 00:05:43,579
except one single woman.

89
00:05:43,579 --> 00:05:47,579
By Allah, she was sitting with me, laughing heartily,

90
00:05:47,579 --> 00:05:50,579
while the Messenger of Allah

91
00:05:50,579 --> 00:05:53,579
was executing their men with swords,

92
00:05:53,579 --> 00:05:55,579
when a caller called out her name:

93
00:05:55,579 --> 00:05:57,579
'Where is so-and-so?'

94
00:05:57,579 --> 00:06:00,579
She said: 'By Allah, it is I!'

95
00:06:00,579 --> 00:06:03,639
I said: 'Woe to you, what is wrong with you?'

96
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:06,639
She replied: 'By Allah, I am to be killed.'

97
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:08,639
I asked: 'Why?'

98
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:11,639
She said: 'Because of an act I committed.'"

99
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:14,639
Ibn Hisham stated in his *Seerah*:

100
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:20,639
"She was the one who threw the millstone upon Khallad ibn Suwayd (may Allah be pleased with him) and killed him.

101
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,800
So she was taken away and her neck was struck.

102
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:29,800
I shall never forget my wonder at her good cheer and frequent laughter,

103
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,800
even though she knew she was to be executed."

104
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,009
The death of the great leader,

105
00:06:38,009 --> 00:06:42,389
Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him).

106
00:06:42,389 --> 00:06:44,389
Allah, Almighty and Glorious, answered

107
00:06:44,389 --> 00:06:48,389
the supplication of His righteous servant, Sa'd ibn Mu'adh,

108
00:06:48,389 --> 00:06:53,389
granting him joy and comforting his heart regarding the Jews of Banu Qurayzah.

109
00:06:53,389 --> 00:06:57,519
So when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) finished

110
00:06:57,519 --> 00:06:59,519
executing their men,

111
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:03,519
Sa'd's wound burst open again, and he passed away (may Allah be pleased with him).

112
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:09,709
Imam Ahmad narrated in his *Musnad* and At-Tirmidhi in his *Jami'* with an authentic chain of transmission,

113
00:07:09,709 --> 00:07:13,709
on the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

114
00:07:13,709 --> 00:07:16,709
"When he finished executing them,

115
00:07:16,709 --> 00:07:19,709
his vein ruptured, and he passed away."

116
00:07:19,709 --> 00:07:22,740
The two Sheikhs narrated in their *Sahihs*

117
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:25,740
on the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:

118
00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:27,740
"Sa'd supplicated:

119
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:34,740
'O Allah, You know that there is no one against whom I would love to strive for Your cause more

120
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:39,740
than a people who denied Your Messenger (peace be upon him) and expelled him.

121
00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:45,740
O Allah, I believe You have brought the war between us and them to an end.

122
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:48,740
If there remains any further warfare with the Quraysh,

123
00:07:48,740 --> 00:07:52,740
keep me alive for it so that I may strive against them for Your cause;

124
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:58,740
but if You have brought the war to an end, then cause my wound to burst and let my death be in it.'

125
00:07:58,740 --> 00:08:02,740
So it burst from his lower neck—that is, his collarbone area—

126
00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:04,740
and nothing alerted the people

127
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:07,740
in the tent of Banu Ghifar inside the mosque

128
00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:10,740
except the blood flowing toward them.

129
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:12,740
They exclaimed: 'O people of the tent,

130
00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:16,740
what is this coming to us from your side?'

131
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:19,740
There was Sa'd, his wound profusely bleeding,

132
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:22,740
and he passed away from it (may Allah be pleased with him)."

133
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:25,839
Then Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) was carried

134
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:27,839
after his funeral preparations were completed,

135
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:30,839
and the angels carried his bier alongside the people.

136
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:35,840
His bier was remarkably light because the angels were carrying it.

137
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,840
Imam At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim narrated with an authentic chain of transmission,

138
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,840
on the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

139
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,840
"When the bier of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh was carried,

140
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,840
the hypocrites said:

141
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,840
'How light his bier is!'

142
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,840
They added: 'That is only because of his judgment regarding Banu Qurayzah.'

143
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,899
News of this reached the Prophet (peace be upon him), so he said:

144
00:08:59,899 --> 00:09:00,899
'No,

145
00:09:00,899 --> 00:09:03,899
rather the angels were carrying him.'"

146
00:09:03,899 --> 00:09:07,159
The two Sheikhs narrated in their *Sahihs*—

147
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:09,159
and the wording is that of Al-Bukhari—

148
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:13,159
on the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

149
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:17,159
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

150
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:21,159
'The Throne shook at the death of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh.'"

151
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:23,159
Imam Adh-Dhahabi said:

152
00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:26,190
"The Throne is a creation of Allah subjected to His command;

153
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:28,190
whenever He wills it to shake,

154
00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:31,190
it shakes by the will of Allah.

155
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:35,190
Allah endowed it with a feeling of love for Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him),

156
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:39,190
just as the Almighty placed a feeling in Mount Uhud

157
00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:42,190
of love for the Prophet (peace be upon him)."

158
00:09:42,190 --> 00:09:44,190
And the Almighty said:

159
00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:47,190
“And assuredly We gave David grace from Us, (saying): O ye hills and birds, echo his psalms of praise! And We made the iron supple unto him,” (34:10)

160
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:48,190
And He said:

161
00:09:48,190 --> 00:09:52,190
“The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise Him, and there is not a thing but hymneth His praise; but ye understand not their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving.” (17:44)

162
00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:54,190
Then He generalized, saying:

163
00:09:54,190 --> 00:09:58,190
“The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise Him, and there is not a thing but hymneth His praise; but ye understand not their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving.” (17:44)
